The beach trip has strengthened the bond between Yi Jin and the high schoolers. Yu Rim and Hee Do have found their real friends, and Ji Woong has started treating Yi Jin as his older brother.

Yi Jin is taking Hee Do out on a dinner date for the first time. Hee Do has been waiting for Yi Jin outside the restaurant because she is too shy to go inside alone. Yi Jin has reserved them a table in an expensive restaurant that he used to visit with his family. He doesn’t have his family around him right now, but he has Hee Do. Taking her to a restaurant that is a special part of his life shows how important Hee Do is to Yi Jin. It truly feels like a thing done out of love. Instead of wearing high-end clothes, Yi Jin is in his office wear, and Hee Do is in her school uniform. For them, each other’s presence is just enough. They are too engaged in each other’s presence to even notice the clothes. They eat a lot of food and have deep conversations. What else would one want?
Hee Do has been waiting for her mom because she promised her that they would go and get her father’s handmade chairs fixed. Her mom texts her that she is getting off work but does not come back until late at night. She had to do an emergency news flash, but now an angry Hee Do is waiting at home for her. Hee Do shouts at her mom, saying that she is trying to eradicate the memories of her father and behaving as if he never existed. Hee Do believes so ever since the day of her father’s funeral, which her mother did not attend. However, Hee Do does not know the truth.
When Hee Do couldn’t find the chairs at home, she thought that her mom had thrown them away. The chairs were the last memories of her father. She cries out of despair, but Yi Jin comes and comforts her. Hee Do is not the one to sit back and watch. She asks a carpenter to teach her how to make chairs and, surprisingly, finds her dad’s chairs at his workshop. Her mom had given them to the carpenter for repair. A few days later, on her father’s death anniversary, Hee Do sees the side of her mom that she had kept hidden from him. Hee Do’s mom cries in front of her husband’s grave, and that is the first time Hee Do sees her mom cry. She tells Hee Do that she misses her husband every day, but she has to bear it because she doesn’t want it to affect her. On the day of his funeral, she was on the edge of losing her job. She had to prove that she was worthy of her job because she now had to raise Hee Do on her own. Hee Do understands her mom, and after years of resentment, she is finally able to forgive her.
