The boss likes the idea of them working together but tells Jun ho to convince Hye Jin first. However, when he tells her, she immediately refuses to partner with him. He’s relentless so she tells him to give her a reason why she should partner with him. However, he only has twenty four hours to convince her.
Meanwhile, Nam Cheong mi seeks advice from Ms Kim, feeling slighted at not being called to meet the boss unlike Lee Jun ho. Ms Kim advices her that if she wants to get attention, she should bring positive results to the academy in a few short months.
Jun ho is looking for a way to Convince Seo hye Jin. He notices the hall of fame and gets an idea. Meanwhile, Hye Jin realises that Jun ho is still at work even though it’s late. She goes to meet him. That’s when he sits her down to tell her his plan but Hye Jin is slightly irritated, saying she has no time to train him but she silences when Jun ho explains his plan.
He notices that she has not being able to explore other schools like Haenam all boys school and has only stuck with three schools to teach, one of which is Chanyoung high school. He knows that she has tried to teach Haenam but that her main stumbling block is Choisun academy, owned by Director Choi nicknamed the white haired witch who has taught for over twenty years and is very strict with her methods. If they can get her out of the way, their influence would skyrocket. Ji Hye wonders what he gains and Jun ho replies he would get the attention he wants.
Meanwhile, Director Choi is also planning to take over Chanyoung High school and wants to begin her lessons the day Hye Jin begins hers in order to have an upper hand. (They are rivals).
Hye Jin drops Jun ho home that night. As he gets off, he tells her to text him and also that he plans to move out and wants to buy an apartment next to hers since he heard that area has cheaper housing. They could come home together and it would be easier for him since he wouldn’t have enough money after he gets an apartment. Hye Jin doesn’t know what to think but keeps to her promise to text him that night. They text each other for hours and Hye Jin finds herself giggling the entire time. (Are you falling in love or have you always been in love?)
The next day, director Choi attends a meeting for academy directors. There, she announces her desire to begin teaching Chanyoung high school students. This no doubt unsettles boss as he immediately calls the attention of Hye Jin and Jun ho.
They use this opportunity to tell him their own plans to get Haenam high school students. The boss likes the idea of them teaching together and asks both to sit side by side as he envisions how it would look like. Hye Jin advises him to call director Choi and tell her that she is scared of her and would like to end their war. Boss does so and director Choi spills her plan to teach on the same days at Hye Jin. Hye Jin predicts that director Choi would change her teaching days because she would think she would do so out of fear. To decieve her, Hye Jin decides to change nothing. They also suggest that Jun ho would give free lessons which seems to take him by surprise for a moment.
Boss wants to speak with Hye Jin in private so Jun ho leaves and gets invited to dinner by Mr Yoon and the others but he refuses because he and Hye Jin have to strategise themselves that night but he doesn’t tell them. Boss asks Hye Jin if she had planned this out from the beginning recalling she was the one who even suggested they make Jun ho the face of the academy but Hye Jin replies that it was purely coincidental.
That night, Hye Jin and Jun ho strategise as she teaches him the materials for their class but she’s surprised that he can still remember most of the things she used to teach and they joke about this only for their momentum to end when Nam Cheong mi who left the dinner returns to the academy.
In order for her not to catch wind of what they are up to, they hide from her. Jun ho successfully sneaks to Hye Jin’s desk, grabs her bag and coat before returning to her. They both manage to avoid Nam cheong mi by taking the stairs Instead of the elevator so she wouldn’t see them.
Cheong mi heads over to Ms Kim’s place and asks her if she can teach Chanyoung high school students like Hye Jin does but Ms Kim advises her not to, saying it would cause unnecessary competition and that she has already arranged for her to teach certain schools. But Cheong mi isn’t satisfied to hear this.
Jun ho and Hye Jin’s bill board announcing their partnership goes viral and unsurprisingly, the other academy instructors aren’t happy about it but Hye Jin tries to calm them down by telling them she would ensure that their classes are well known. Director Choi hears of it and gets annoyed by what is happening. She calls Hye Jin on the phone and the two officially challenge each other.
