In episode 6, Eun-ho, who has decided to experience a normal romance before returning to her original form, boldly proposes a relationship to Kang Si-yeol, saying, "My heart races without any context." She explains, "I avoided men because I feared wanting to become human if I started dating, but since my path is set, let's take a break and try dating." Despite being taken aback by Eun-ho's straightforwardness, Kang Si-yeol finds himself drawn to her as she winks and says, "Take care of me, darling."
The couple embarks on a typical dating course, with Eun-ho enjoying the mundane yet classic activities of a couple, such as asking Kang Si-yeol to feed her or requesting a pillow arm. They head to Namsan, where they lock a love padlock and walk hand in hand, savoring a simple date. Kang Si-yeol feels thrilled by Eun-ho, who fulfills his wish to walk openly without hiding his face, while Eun-ho expresses satisfaction, saying, "Dating with intention doesn't make my heart race, but this ordinary moment will be memorable."
However, their conversation, based on the premise of an eventual farewell, leaves viewers with a heavy heart. Kang Si-yeol asks if Eun-ho will erase his memory when she returns to her original form, to which Eun-ho firmly replies, "I will. Human friends have always been disposable to me." Despite Kang Si-yeol's disappointment, Eun-ho explains, "You're my first non-disposable real friend, but you need to forget about the gumiho for your life to be normal," describing memory erasure as her final gift. In response, Kang Si-yeol surprises Eun-ho with a sudden kiss, asserting, "If you're going to erase my memory and keep this moment to yourself, I should be allowed to do this."
Meanwhile, the episode ends with a cliffhanger as Jang Do-cheol (played by Jang Dong-joo) and Lee Yoon (played by Choi Seung-yoon) trigger the return of Hyun Woo-seok's (played by Jang Dong-joo) memories, putting Eun-ho's secret of becoming human at risk. The unfolding drama leaves viewers eagerly anticipating how Eun-ho and Kang Si-yeol's time-limited romance will navigate the new challenge of Hyun Woo-seok's memory recovery.
