Hye Jin and Mr Pyo have a private discussion. When he reveals that he had resigned from teaching, Hye Jin is surprised but she is filled with guilt after knowing it’s because of her. Ever since she challenged him, he had lost sight of himself and became a mess. Jun ho who is curious about their conversation enters under the guise of giving them coffee but Hye Jin sends him away.
However, Mr Pyo introduces himself to Jun ho also revealing he’s the new vice director at Choisun. The revelation shocks both Jun ho and Hye jin. Jun ho gives them privacy and Hye jin wants to apologize to Mr Pyo but he asks her to give Choisun some of her students if she’s really sorry. Hye Jin blanks out and when Mr Pyo leaves, she breaks down. She calls and texts director Choi but recieves no response. Director Choi purposely ignores her.
Chanyoung students recognise Mr Pyo when he comes out of the elevator and are surprised by his presence at the academy. Every staff at the academy is aware of the issue between Hye Jin and Mr Pyo. Cheong mi notices how nonchalant Jun ho seems and asks if he isn’t concerned but Jun ho isn’t. He believes that Hye jin is a strong woman who wouldn’t let Mr Pyo get to her. He then tells her Seong Yu wants her number but she immediately refuses. Jun ho calls to inform Seong Yu and he is quite upset.
Jun ho and Hye Jin speak but he doesn’t understand why she’s feeling guilty over what happened to Mr Pyo. He feels that she’s devaluing herself as a tutor but Hye Jin is annoyed that he doesn’t see from her point of view and refuses to come to his place that night.
While teaching, Hye Jin gets triggered when her students talk about how much they liked Mr Pyo’s class. That night, she refuses to go on a date with Jun ho and instead, ends up hanging around Choisun academy.
Jun ho runs into Seong Yu at the subway. The two then head to the restaurant for a meal and coincidentally meet Cheong mi. She had come to eat noodles and was about to leave, refusing to hang with them so Seong Yu offers to drive her home. He doesn’t have a car so he’ll be using his mom’s car.
Director Choi finally speaks to Hye Jin in her office and is sarcastic seeing how Hye Jin is groveling back to her after rejecting her offer. She hints that Hye Jin doesn’t really care that Mr Pyo stopped teaching. It’s because he would be a big competition and take away her students. Hye Jin becomes speechless and eventually leaves the office in a daze
Jun ho ends up eating with Seong Yu and Cheong mi. However, he whines about Hye Jin. Cheong mi then scolds him for being insensitive to Hye Jin’s plight. He didn’t understand what she was going through. A man who loved teaching ended his career because of her, not only that he might take all her students in the process. Although, she’s strong but she can alau become emotional because of that. Realizing his mistake, Jun ho rushes out leaving Cheong mi alone with Seong Yu.
Later, Cheong mi and Seongyu stroll out of the restaurant together. Seongyu wants to drop her off at her house but she doesn’t trust him since he’s a stranger but Seong Yu reminds her he’s Jun ho’s friend, Hye Jin’s former student and Ms Kim’s son. He surprises her when he admits he likes studying but only lied to stop people from probing his life.
Jun ho finds Hye Jin in her car outside her apartment building. He’s out of breath as he apologizes smoothly for his actions. Hye junShe wants to take him somewhere and the two drive off. Hye Jin tells Jun ho everything, about going to Choisun and meeting Director Choi. They stop at Chanyoung high school and Hye Ji talks about how guilty she feels. She wishes to turn back time but Jun ho cautions her not to overdo things or risk having problems with the academy.
After promising not to make a move without permission, he takes her to his apartment. He watches her in bed and before she sleeps, she says she can’t remember the last time she was at the beach. He tucks her in and works late into the night. But the next morning, while he and Hye Jin are in bed together, Jun ho’s mother calls him. She’s in front of his door. Immediately, Jun ho hides Hye Jin so his Mom wouldn’t discover her.
