Joo-ho (played by Choi Daniel) uses a workshop as an excuse to get closer to Yumi, igniting a fire in the otherwise low-energy Soonrok. Soonrok lies to prevent Joo-ho from contacting Yumi under the pretense of an after-party and suggests watching a movie with Yumi, breaking his own rule of 'keeping work and personal life separate.' However, Joo-ho's unexpected appearance at the cinema leads to a misunderstanding that Soonrok is trying to set Yumi up with Joo-ho, causing Yumi to express her displeasure towards both.

Just as disappointment was about to turn into sadness, Soonrok catches up with Yumi. Sharing an umbrella, Yumi realizes that Soonrok is someone who speaks only the truth and means what he says. Misunderstandings about Soonrok, including those involving a Maltese, are cleared up. However, when Soonrok learns that Yumi has feelings for him, he draws a line by asking if she knows anyone to set him up with, prompting Yumi to introduce her close friend Jenny (played by Jeon So-young) to maintain her pride.

Despite drawing a line and going on a blind date, Soonrok's feelings become complicated when Yumi sets him up. Meanwhile, Soonrok discovers that Joo-ho plans to visit Yumi with wine as an excuse to apologize. Breaking his promise to Jenny, Soonrok shows up at the meeting place between Yumi and Joo-ho, aware of the significance behind Joo-ho's wine gift.

After a chaotic scuffle with Joo-ho, Soonrok seeks out Yumi to apologize. When Yumi asks why he came, he confesses, "I think I like you, writer." This awakening of Soonrok's feelings for Yumi, breaking his own principles, has left viewers excited.
