Ji-yoon asked, ″Is it natural to feel sorry just because you like someone?″ and Si-woo comforted her, saying, ″If you feel wronged, it’s okay to get angry. You can even shout until you feel better.″ Later, Ji-yoon visited Si-woo, saying, ″I wanted to be by your side when you were having a hard time,″ and Si-woo confessed, ″I was wandering without finding an answer, but the moment I saw your face, I thought of a very simple reason: because it’s you,″ then revealed his decision, ″I’m thinking of quitting the company.″ Additionally, the couple Noa (played by Kang Mina) and Jae-in (played by Won Kyu-bin) faced a crisis due to Noa’s assignment to Senegal.
