I wish the roles had been reversed for a bit longer, with him being the clingy, needy boyfriend and jang mi actually succeeding in being “cool” and independent instead of them both caving at the end of the episode. But i guess that can’t be helped, since there’s only going to be two more episodes(T_T)

Hyun Hee guesses correctly that her boyfriend is Gi Tae and congratulates her. Hyun Hee asks that Jang Mi keep the business a secret from Gi Tae since if he finds out, so will Hoon Dong. Jang Mi thinks that’s nonsense, since she can’t keep something like this from Gi Tae.
