Hye Jin pushes Jun ho away, completely overwhlmed by the kiss. Jun ho tries to hold on to her but she makes a flimsy excuse and runs away from him. Alone in the restroom, she’s in a state of disbelief, unable to comprehend what just happened.
Cheong mi returns to the academy but is surprised to see the two. They tell her about Jun ho falling into the water. Cheong mi decides to believe them but adds that if she caught them being passionate in the office, it wouldn’t concern her since it isn’t her place to tell them about their romantic feelings for each other. Hye Jin assures her that they have no romantic feelings for each other which makes Jun ho slightly unhappy to hear that.
Cheong mi admits she actually wanted to stay over at the academy because she couldn’t afford a taxi and wanted to take the bus by morning but Hye Jin surprisingly invites her to her house. At first, Cheongmi refuses but later relents. She goes to get her things. Meanwhile, Jun ho starts complaining to Hye jin that they were yet to finish their talk but Cheong mi enters catching them being suspicious. She asks if they have ever stayed over in the office like today but they deny it.
That night Jun ho texts Hye jin with his laptop given that his phone got spoiled in the water but Hye Jin doesn’t respond. While sharing a bed, Cheong mi tells Hye jin she wouldn’t tell everyone about what she saw between her and Jun ho. Hye Jin thanks her and asks that she speak informally to her. In return, Cheong mi asks her not to tell anyone she returned to the academy.
Hye Jin leaves her room and goes to her office, confused by Jun ho’s last text saying he doesn;t care if she goes to Choisun academy or fly to the moon.
The next morning, Hye jin and Mr Yoon visit their boss after learning from the vice president that she hasn’t been able to reach him all morning. Turns out he’s very sick.
Meanwhile, Ms Choi’s secretary asks her if Hye Jin hasn’t responded to her request. But she is confident she would still accept the contract because of the juicy terms.
Boss apologises to Hye Jin again and while he’s resting after having a fever, Hye jin confides in Mr Yoon about Choisun academy scouting her. She has already decided to accept the offer except that her current contract with Daechi chase stipulated that she can’t work near their vicinity for a year. Ms Choi promised to handle that problem. Mr Yoon is surprised but congratulates her regardless, hoping they would continue to see each other to which she assures him that will always happen.
Meanwhile, Jun ho is worried Hye jin is yet to return to the office. Just then, a female co worker who is interested in him approaches him and asks why he never attends staff dinners. He replies that he has someone he likes.
Mr Yoon and Hye jin are returning to the office when Mr Yoon suddenly says that Jun ho will be upset she’s leaving but Hye jin counters it, saying Jun ho doesn’t care.
Hye Jin returns to the office and acts straight forward as always. After a meeting with the other tutors, Jun ho is left behind and she tells him she would still go to chosun academy. Jun ho tries to talk about their kiss but she doesn’t let him, telling him to get over his first love and focus on his ambitions but Jun ho loses his cool, saying that her behavior is making it difficult for him to concentrate. He doesn’t understand why she’s acting this way after what happened between them. He tells her it’s tacky for her to care about their age difference or the fact that they are former teacher and student. Just then, their conversation ends after Jun ho receives information that Si woo is here to see him.
The two greet each other and Hye Jin meets him as well. Si woo expresses how much he liked her teaching and hopes he can listen to that kind of lecture again. Hearing this leaves Hye jin stunned. After her lecture, Jun ho again tries to convince Hye jin to give him a chance but she gets angry at him and leaves to attend her lecture.
Feeling disheartened, Jun ho heads to his office and Cheong mi tells him that if everyone slacks off like he does, she would be at the top but it would be difficult for her if everyone was like Hye jin. She suddenly tells him that Hye jin didn’t sleep at all last night and that she didn’t seem to have any food in her fridge.
After Hye jin’s lecture, Jun ho offers to drive her home. In the car, she complains of a headache and reveals that she feels regret after hearing Si woo praise her class. He left Choisun academy for her but all she could think of was her vice director position and a higher pay. She feels embarrassed by it.
The two take a walk and Jun ho explains how Si woo went against Ms Choi, even rejecting her scholarship just to transfer to their academy. Hye Jin realizes they owe him so much since he won’t even be able to return to Choisun. Despite this, Jun ho encourages her to pursue her ambition but Hye jin still feels guilty. She now wants to teach Si woo. Although Jun ho feels slighted, he still confesses his feelings. He tells her to see him as a man. He reveals he rejected the hottest girl in school simply because he couldn’t stop thinking of her. When Hye jin asks how he can speak like that with zero embarassment, he replies that he has been practicing since he was Si woo’s age. Hye jin can’t help but blush.
While leaving, Jun ho stops by a store and buys Hye jin groceries. He gives them to her, saying he heard her fridge was bare. Hye jin is very grateful to him and is happy. When she returns to her apartment, she fondly gazes at a picture of her and Jun ho which she secretly tucked in a book.
The next morning, Jun ho reveals to his parents that he would be moving out soon and they are not happy to hear that. Hye ji meets with her friend at a cafe and her friends quickly notices something different about her. Hye jin presents her a gift and after thanking her for going through her contract, she reveals she would no longer be going to choisun. Her friend is stunned. She asks why she suddenly changed her mind but Hye Jin answers that there is a boy she must teach. Although, her friend doesn’t understand why she would give up sucha lucrative opportunity, she decides to support her.
Hye jin then meets with Ms Choi and formally rejects her offer. Although Ms Choi acts okay with it, she is far from happy. As she’s leaving, Hye jin meets Si woo entering the academy. He clarifies that he only came to return his text books from Choisun. They part ways promising to meet each other soon.
Hye jin and Jun ho meet each other on the zebra crossing. As they head to the academy together, Hye jin is in a very good mood and tells Jun ho that for the first time in a long time, she likes herself. After hearing this, Jun ho smiles.
I am loving the pacing but please don’t make Jun ho a love struck fool whose only ambition is loving Hye jin!!!
