Transcript

00:00:00The series starts with Chi-Hwan, the son of the most famous gang leader, who took over the entire

00:00:04gang after his father. He eliminates all the rival gangs and fights them, but after he has

00:00:10achieved everything, he decides to dissolve his gang and completely disappears. He turns into a

00:00:15good man, changes his ways, and leaves behind his criminal past. He then opens a processed food

00:00:21company, hiring people who struggled to find jobs because of their criminal records. One day,

00:00:26he finds out that one of his employees, a former drug addict, has quit and joined a drug gang.

00:00:32Frustrated, he heads to the club where the gang is supposed to be. There, he sees a beautiful girl

00:00:37named Eon, who is about to fall, so he catches her and saves her. Eon thanks him. Chi-Hwan then goes to

00:00:43the drug gang and attacks them. During the fight, the waiter drops a bottle containing drugs, and the

00:00:48gang members start beating him up. Chi-Hwan gets angry and defends the waiter, but Eon sees him

00:00:53and mistakenly thinks he is the one attacking the waiter. She intervenes, stopping him. She is

00:00:59dressed as a police officer and pretends to be a cop, handcuffing Chi-Hwan. She tells him that he

00:01:04can't just hit weak people and that she is arresting him. Chi-Hwan tries to explain that it's a

00:01:09misunderstanding, but Eon doesn't listen and is scared of him. She quickly takes her friend and

00:01:14runs away until she reaches the real police, who take Chi-Hwan into custody. That's when Chi-Hwan

00:01:19realizes that Eon isn't a real cop, as the handcuffs she used were just a toy. We then learn that Eon

00:01:26works for a company that creates performances and theater shows for YouTube, promoting children's

00:01:31games. She acts in these shows, and her police outfit was just part of the act. The next day,

00:01:37Chi-Hwan is released from custody. Since he didn't do anything wrong, he gathers his former gang members,

00:01:43who now work with him in his company after they all turned over a new leaf. He asks them about the

00:01:48drug gang, and they tell him that they are distributing drugs disguised as children's candy.

00:01:54Chi-Hwan then remembers that when he caught Eon, a bag of those candies fell from her. He assumes she

00:01:59was carrying the new drugs and decides to track her down to find out how she gets them. At that time,

00:02:04Eon is at her second job, distributing flyers for a store. She sees a little boy running out of a

00:02:10restaurant and bumping into her. Then she notices Chi-Hwan chasing the boy, so she quickly hides before he

00:02:16can see her. She then watches as Chi-Hwan takes money from the boy, which makes her furious because

00:02:21she thinks he's bullying the kid. She rushes over and slaps him on the back of the head. Of course,

00:02:26she's wearing her work uniform, so Chi-Hwan doesn't recognize her. But in reality, she is completely

00:02:32mistaken. Chi-Hwan wasn't bullying the boy. The kid had stolen money from the restaurant,

00:02:36and Chi-Hwan was returning it to the owner. The elderly restaurant owner, who knows Chi-Hwan from the

00:02:42past, tells him that it wasn't a lot of money and he should have just let the boy keep it.

00:02:46Chi-Hwan replies that if he did that, he'd be ruining the kid's future, teaching him that stealing

00:02:50is okay, and turning him. The old lady then tells him, since you're so responsible, why don't you

00:02:55get married and raise a child yourself? But Chi-Hwan says he has no plans to marry, considers his former

00:03:00gang members his family and children. As he walks away, he notices a drunk man harassing Eon. He

00:03:07suddenly realizes that Eon was the one who slapped him earlier. He chases after her and catches her,

00:03:11asking, do you have nothing better to do than mess with me? First I get slapped by a girl dressed

00:03:15like a cucumber, and now this. Did someone send you after me? He then questions her about the drugs,

00:03:20but Eon is confused and denies knowing anything. She says, drugs? You're trying to get me into trouble.

00:03:25Chi-Hwan doesn't believe her and demands to know how she gets the colorful candy. Eon finally

00:03:29understands what he's talking about and tells him they aren't drugs. They're just sweets for kids.

00:03:34But he still doesn't trust her. To prove her innocent, she takes out the candy from her work bag,

00:03:40from the job she just got fired from, and eats all of it.

00:03:44Chi-Hwan panics and tries to make her spit it out. But in the process, he accidentally swallows one

00:03:49himself. He rushes to the hospital for a drug test, but the results come back negative. It turns out

00:03:54that the colorful sweets were just normal candy for kids. Eon then starts yelling at Chi-Hwan,

00:03:59telling him she got fired because of him and that she already told him she had nothing to do with

00:04:04drugs. Chi-Hwan, frustrated, warns her saying he's a dangerous man and that she better stay away from

00:04:10him before she ends up getting into real trouble. He tells her he doesn't care whether it's a man or

00:04:14a woman. He doesn't go easy on anyone. Eon gets scared and quickly runs away. The scene then shifts

00:04:20to a man named Hyunwoo, a prosecutor working on a fraud case. He interrogates the suspect, who admits

00:04:26to all the charges, but insists that he has repented and turned over a new leaf. Hyunwoo tells him that such talk

00:04:32doesn't work on him and that he will never believe that a criminal can truly repent and change.

00:04:37The criminal replies, I used to think the same way until Chi-Hwan showed up. He built his company,

00:04:43gathered all the former gangsters, changed their lives, and turned them into decent people. I was

00:04:48the only one still stuck in that life, so I decided to change too. Hyunwoo recognizes Chi-Hwan's name and

00:04:54seems to know him. He starts keeping an eye on Chi-Hwan and his company. Meanwhile, Chi-Hwan is holding a

00:04:59meeting with all the members of his company, who are essentially former criminals. The meeting is

00:05:04about the ex-addict who worked with them, quit, and caused problems for the company. The members

00:05:09are upset that Chi-Hwan even hired an addict in the first place. But Chi-Hwan tells them,

00:05:14and what about you all? Are you doctors and engineers? Weren't you all criminals too? You've done worse

00:05:20than theft, so what gives you the right to judge him? He decides to give the addict another chance to

00:05:25make up for his mistake. The gang members object, saying their reputation is already ruined and their

00:05:30sales are dropping. Then, one of Chi-Hwan's right-hand men suggests they participate in a

00:05:35children's festival and promote their new product. Chi-Hwan agrees to the idea. On the day of the

00:05:41festival, they set up their booth, but as expected, no one buys from them. Ian is also at the festival,

00:05:47promoting a product for her company. She notices that no one is approaching the food cart,

00:05:51and asks her co-worker why. He tells her, they're ex-cons, so people are afraid of them.

00:05:57You should stay away from them too. At the same time, a fight breaks out when a child's father

00:06:02yells at Chi, the guy selling food at the cart. The father got upset because Chi let his son try

00:06:08their products. Chi calmly explains that their food is approved by the health ministry and that there's

00:06:13no need for an argument. But the father escalates the situation, and the fight intensifies.

00:06:19The scene turns chaotic, with all the kids at the festival crying. Ian tries to diffuse the

00:06:24situation by performing a little act, just like she does at work, to distract the kids and calm

00:06:29them down. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Chi-Hwan arrives at the festival just in time to hear

00:06:35about the fight. He storms in and scolds Chi for getting into trouble. He tells him that their

00:06:40reputation is already at rock bottom, and the last thing they need is a fight with the children's

00:06:45parents. He reminds him that if he truly wants to leave his gangster life behind, he needs to

00:06:50start using his head before his fists. Frustrated, Chi-Hwan leaves. As he's walking away, he sees

00:06:56Eon playing with the children. At that moment, he realizes that there are things far more beautiful

00:07:01than fighting and work. He starts to fall for her, hard. His emotions overwhelm him, so he hides in the

00:07:08restroom, convincing himself that his racing heart is just because of the heat. Nothing more. As he's

00:07:15about to leave, Eon is cleaning the hallway, sweeping up the flour she was using for cooking.

00:07:20She accidentally bumps into Chi-Hwan, causing him to lose his balance on the stairs. She instinctively

00:07:25tries to help him, but then she remembers how he told her to stay away from him, so she lets go of his

00:07:30hand. Chi-Hwan tumbles down the stairs and ends up in the hospital. His gang members gather around him,

00:07:36panicking about what they'll do without their boss, but Chi-Hwan regains consciousness and tells them,

00:07:42I'm not dead yet, so stop acting like you're at my funeral. One of them jokes, who would have thought

00:07:48a tiny girl like that could take you down? Chi-Hwan, furious, kicks them all out of the room. All he can

00:07:54think about is Eon. He searches for her YouTube channel and realizes that her strange outfits are

00:07:59part of her job. He spends the whole night binge-watching her videos like a child, falling even deeper for

00:08:06her. He starts imagining her everywhere he looks, struggling to control his emotions. He even

00:08:11starts arguing with her imaginary figure, until he suddenly realizes that this time, she's real.

00:08:17Eon had come to visit him at the hospital to check on him. They sit together, and she gives him a bottle

00:08:22of the drink she was promoting at the festival, as a gift. She apologizes for accidentally making him

00:08:27fall. As she prepares to leave, Chi-Hwan's gang arrives. To protect her, he quickly hides her,

00:08:32knowing that his men are out for revenge since she took down their boss. Sure enough, the moment they

00:08:37enter, they start bad-mouthing Eon, convinced that she must be working for a rival gang that's out to

00:08:42get Chi-Hwan. Chi says he will lure Eon in, beat her up badly, and make her confess why she did what she

00:08:48did. But Chi-Hwan calms them down, telling them he wants to rest, and that Eon is innocent. No one is to

00:08:55harm her. Once they leave, Eon quickly sneaks out before they can return and attack her. She goes

00:09:02to her friend Mi and tells her everything that happened. Mi warns her to be careful and stay

00:09:06away from that gang. Their conversation is interrupted when Eon's phone buzzes. Her company

00:09:11has uploaded a video of the festival fight, adding villainous cartoon faces over Chi-Hwan's gang.

00:09:17Eon rushes to the company, furious, insisting they take the video down because it's dangerous.

00:09:23The manager, however, tells her that the video has hit 1 million views, the first time her channel

00:09:28has reached such numbers, and that she should be happy. Eon protests, saying the video unfairly

00:09:34portrays Chi-Hwan's gang as the bad guys, twisting the situation. But the manager shrugs, saying he

00:09:39doesn't care who's innocent or guilty, only about the views. Eon is frustrated, knowing that this won't

00:09:45just harm Chi-Hwan, it will also damage her own channel's reputation. Her fears come true as negative

00:09:51comments flood in, accusing her of exploiting a fight for fame and saying that such content

00:09:56is inappropriate for a kid's channel. Meanwhile, Chi-Hwan and his gang see the video and realize

00:10:02the situation is even worse than they thought. No one will trust or buy from them anymore.

00:10:08Chi-Hwan is even more hurt because he believes Eon posted the video on purpose. Determined to

00:10:13confront her, he and Young go to Eon's company and meet with the manager. Young announces that

00:10:18they will file a lawsuit for defamation, demanding massive compensation for the financial losses

00:10:24and emotional distress caused by people once again labeling them as thugs. Realizing the

00:10:29trouble he's in, the manager quickly backtracks, claiming they were just about to delete the

00:10:33video. He then tries to shift the blame onto Eon, saying she posted it herself for publicity,

00:10:39but he personally disapproved of it. Chi-Hwan, however, chooses to de-escalate the situation,

00:10:44simply tells them to delete the video. He does this to protect Eon from any legal trouble.

00:10:50As he leaves, Eon catches up to him, insisting she had no idea about the video and apologizing.

00:10:55But Chi-Hwan doesn't believe her. He coldly tells her that while she gained a lot of views

00:11:00and money, she hurt innocent people who had done nothing but try to turn their lives around.

00:11:05He accuses her and people like her of refusing to let ex-criminals reform and always seeing

00:11:10them as gangsters. He adds that his employees work hard and honestly, unlike people who just

00:11:15sit in front of a camera making money by mocking others. Then he walks away, leaving her hurt.

00:11:20Eon, deeply affected, goes home, and thinks of a way to make things right. She decides to find the

00:11:26full unedited version of the festival fight and upload it so that people can see the truth.

00:11:31The next day at work, her manager yells at her for posting the full video. She plays dumb,

00:11:36pretending to be shocked. Me? Upload the full video? No way! Besides, you guys control all the

00:11:42uploads, not me! Then she walks away, knowing he can't do anything about it. She uploaded it from

00:11:47an anonymous account, not her official channel. Chi-Hwan watches the video and realizes that Eon

00:11:52must have been the one to post it. He feels guilty for misjudging her and for saying such harsh words.

00:11:58Later, Eon goes to the hospital to perform for sick children. By chance, Chi-Hwan sees her

00:12:03and learns from a nurse that Eon regularly spends time with the kids to cheer them up.

00:12:08Watching her interact with them, he becomes even more impressed by her.

00:12:12After her performance, Eon heads to the station to go home, but she notices Chi-Hwan following her.

00:12:17When she catches him, he awkwardly says he was just out for a walk because he was bored in the

00:12:22hospital. He then apologizes for being rude and for jumping to conclusions. Eon admits that she also

00:12:27misjudged him at first, thinking he was just a bad guy. They clear up the misunderstanding and go

00:12:32their separate ways. However, later that night, Eon rushes back to the hospital after hearing that

00:12:37several children were poisoned by the milk she had promoted at the festival. When she arrives,

00:12:42the furious parents confront her. She breaks down in tears, apologizing over and over. One of the

00:12:48fathers, overcome with rage, tries to hit her, but Chi-Hwan steps in, taking the blow for her. He picks

00:12:54her up and leads her out of the hospital, telling the parents that if they have an issue,

00:12:57they should take it up with the milk company, not her dot. But Eon gets angry at him and tells him

00:13:03to stay out of her business. She tries to go back into the hospital, so he asks her why. If she goes

00:13:08back in, the people will tear her apart. She tells him that she's not innocent. She was the one who

00:13:13promoted the milk on her channel, so the parents have every right to be angry at her. Ji-Hwan tells

00:13:17her to calm down first before speaking to the parents. He takes her with him to drop her off.

00:13:22Noticing that her leg is injured, he gives her some medicine, telling her that she's also a victim,

00:13:27just like them. He and Young take her home, and before leaving, Young gives Eon his number,

00:13:33telling her to call if she ever needs anything. Ji-Hwan gets irritated, but asks Young to help him,

00:13:38since Eon seems to trust him. Young is the kindest member of the gang and the only one with experience

00:13:43when it comes to dealing with women. Ji-Hwan tells him that maybe he chose the right person for the job.

00:13:48Young gives him a few tips on what to do. Still upset about everything, Eon confides in her

00:13:53friend about her past. She remembers when she was a child, and debt collectors would come looking for

00:13:57her father. They would beat her mother, demanding money, while she sat on the stairs, helpless and

00:14:04scared. One day, a boy named Hyun-Woo befriended her and made her earplugs so she wouldn't have to

00:14:09hear the fighting or her mother's screams. That's when she decided to become a children's content creator,

00:14:15to help kids the same way Hyun-Woo helped her. That's also why she feels so guilty. Because of

00:14:20her, innocent children got poisoned. The next day, Eon returns to the hospital to check on the kids.

00:14:26She finds out that most of them have recovered and been discharged, except for one. She approaches the

00:14:31little girl's mother and sits with her. The mother explains that she got so angry at Eon yesterday,

00:14:37because her daughter is all she has. Her husband passed away, and she's the only one providing for the

00:14:42family. She was always busy, so she would play Eon's channel to keep her daughter entertained.

00:14:48Her daughter loved Eon so much, and that's why when she saw her, she couldn't hold back her emotions.

00:14:54Eon apologizes, admitting that she should have investigated the company before promoting

00:14:59their product. The mother also apologizes, realizing it wasn't fair to put all the blame on Eon.

00:15:05After all, at the end of the day, her daughter's health is her own responsibility. Eon is deeply

00:15:11moved and returns to work. Wanting to take responsibility for what happened, she tells

00:15:16her manager that she will release an official apology and take a break from appearing in her

00:15:21channel's shows until things settle down. One of her colleagues, a girl with a much bigger channel

00:15:26than Eon's, overhears and mockingly asks,

00:15:29What will you do without work for that long? How will you pay your bills? Do you want to clean my

00:15:33house instead? Eon gets irritated, but the girl smirks, saying she was just joking. Then she asks

00:15:39Eon how she knows Jiwan. Eon fires back, asking how asterisk she asterisk knows him. The girl laughs

00:15:45and says that everyone knows Jiwan and his company. It becomes clear that she has a huge crush on him,

00:15:51but Eon doesn't pay much attention to her, and walks away. A little while later,

00:15:55she changes her mind and contacts the girl, saying that she agrees to clean her house since she has

00:16:00no other job and refuses to stay unemployed. The girl takes her up on the offer and tells her she

00:16:06can start working in the morning. True to her word, Eon shows up at the girl's house and starts cleaning

00:16:11as they agreed. Meanwhile Jiwan heads to Eon's place, but instead of her, he finds her friend Mi there.

00:16:17So he hands her the gift he had brought for Eon. Young had gone to find out where Eon was,

00:16:22and why she had disappeared. Once he got the information, he immediately reported it. He

00:16:26learned from Min that Eon was working at Hina's house. Without wasting time, he sent a message

00:16:31confirming that he had found her location. Meanwhile, Eon had just finished her cleaning

00:16:35work and was gathering the trash. But suddenly, Hina, the cunning one, returned home, bringing along

00:16:41their co-workers from the company so they could see Eon and find out that she had been cleaning houses.

00:16:45Eon felt embarrassed but didn't try to hide the truth. She told her colleagues that,

00:16:50yes, she had cleaned the house and was about to take the trash out. She then left to do so.

00:16:54However, Hina followed her outside to give her money for the cleaning job.

00:16:58She handed her a large sum, but Eon refused, saying it was more than she deserved. She admitted

00:17:03that her situation was difficult, but she wasn't going to take advantage of it. Hina smirked and asked,

00:17:08You knew I invited our co-workers to embarrass you, didn't you? Eon replied that, of course she knew,

00:17:13but she didn't care about gossip, hatred or any of that drama. Hina sighed and said that's exactly

00:17:19why she deliberately tried to annoy her. Because she didn't like people like Eon, those who were

00:17:24willing to work any job without hesitation. Treating their company jobs as if they were just games and

00:17:29not real responsibilities. Eon simply told her that she did love her job at the company and that her

00:17:34only goal was to make children happy. But since she failed at that, of course, she would look for

00:17:38another job. She then walked away, ending the conversation. Just then, Jiwon arrived. As soon

00:17:44as Hina saw him, she assumed he had come to see her. Excited, she clung to him trying to start a

00:17:49conversation, but Jiwon skillfully avoided her and followed Eon instead. He sat beside Eon, and she

00:17:55asked him if he liked Hina. Since he always went to her house, Jiwon scoffed and told her he wasn't

00:18:01interested in Hina at all. He had never even watched her channel. Eon then admitted that she had always

00:18:06hated gangsters and criminals because all they did was harm people. She knew that from personal

00:18:11experience, what had happened to her and her mother. Jiwon apologized to her, but Eon commented

00:18:17that judging by his appearance, he didn't look like someone who had been in a gang, fought people,

00:18:22and lived that kind of life. Her words affected Jiwon deeply. He confessed that he had always wished he

00:18:28wasn't the son of a gang leader, that he could have been a normal person instead. They continued drinking

00:18:35together until Jiwon got completely drunk. It was surprising considering he had quit drinking for

00:18:40a long time. Eon panicked, unsure of what to do with him, especially since he was acting recklessly.

00:18:46He suddenly ran toward the children's amusement park, dragging her along with him. There he started

00:18:52playing like a child, and Eon noticed something, he was copying her movements from her videos. He must

00:18:58have watched them a lot. Seeing no other choice, she played along with him. The moment reminded her of

00:19:03her childhood friend Hyunwoo and the times they used to play together. Jiwon was fascinated by her.

00:19:09He told her she was really amazing. Eon laughed, saying no one had ever told her that before.

00:19:14People only pointed out her mistakes, saying she was always messing things up and never doing anything

00:19:19right. Jiwon disagreed. He told her that wasn't true at all, she was capable of doing so many things.

00:19:24Her videos, in particular, made him really happy. Eon was deeply moved and felt a surge of joy.

00:19:30She got up and played with him again. Then he asked her to go back to making videos because he

00:19:34missed them. Eon was even more touched. But before she could get too carried away,

00:19:38she snapped herself out of it. When Young called Jiwon's phone, he was told to go pick him up and

00:19:43take him home. Young rushed over and once Jiwon arrived safely, Eon left alone feeling happy about

00:19:49what Jiwon had told her. The next day, when Jiwon sobered up, he realized how crazy and ridiculous he

00:19:54had acted the night before with Eon. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear. He

00:19:58couldn't understand why he had behaved that way around her. After thinking about it, he came to a

00:20:03conclusion she must have put a spell on him. There was no way the biggest gang leader could fall head

00:20:08over heels for Eon like that, especially when he didn't even know her well yet. Meanwhile, Eon went to

00:20:13meet prosecutor Hyunwoo because his office had contacted her to give her statement regarding the drug gang fight

00:20:20that had happened at the beginning of the story. When she arrived, she was surprised by how friendly

00:20:24Hyunwoo was toward her. She didn't even know him. But when she focused on his name, thought crossed

00:20:30her mind. Could he be the same Hyunwoo, her childhood friend? Wanting to confirm, she asked him if he had

00:20:36ever changed his name or if this had always been his real name. He replied that it had been his name

00:20:41since birth. She then continued asking about his age and when he was born. Hyunwoo noticed that she was the

00:20:47one interrogating him instead of the other way around. He reminded her that he was the one asking

00:20:51questions and she was supposed to answer. Eon quickly pulled herself together and proceeded to

00:20:56recount everything that happened during the fight. Hyunwoo then asked her if Ji-hwan and his gang had

00:21:02threatened or bothered her after the fight. She assured him that no one had approached her and that Ji-hwan

00:21:07had actually been kind and never harmed her. Hyunwoo warned her that they were criminals and that she should

00:21:13never trust them. He then gave her his number, telling her to call him if she remembered anything

00:21:18else about the incident. As Eon left she couldn't stop thinking about him. Just then, a passing car

00:21:24almost hit her, but Hyunwoo quickly pulled her out of the way. That's when she noticed that he was

00:21:28holding an umbrella with the name of her channel on it. She suddenly remembered a time when it had rained

00:21:34and she had given someone that umbrella. That must have been when Hyunwoo first saw her and became

00:21:40interested in her. He had likely been watching her videos ever since. Eon felt happy, hoping that he

00:21:46was truly her childhood friend and not just someone with a similar name. A little later Ji-hwan called

00:21:51Eon to apologize for what had happened the night before. But at that moment the landlord showed up

00:21:57and told her she had to leave. He explained that her former boss had ordered him to kick her out.

00:22:02Eon quickly hung up on Ji-hwan and rushed to her boss, demanding to know what was going on.

00:22:07He coldly told her that her one-year contract had ended and there was no reason for him to

00:22:11continue paying her rent now that she no longer worked for him. Eon was stunned. She pleaded with

00:22:17him not to abandon her like that, but he ignored her and walked away. Feeling lost and hopeless,

00:22:22Eon sat on the street, unsure of what to do. She had nowhere else to go. Her best friend,

00:22:28Mew, was staying with her family, so staying with her wasn't an option. With no other choice,

00:22:33Eon returned to the neighborhood where she had lived as a child. Memories of her childhood

00:22:37friend flooded her mind. How they had always been together. As she sat there reminiscing,

00:22:42she unexpectedly ran into Ji-hwan. Seeing her drenched in the rain, he shielded her with his umbrella.

00:22:48He told her that he had been living there for the past eight years. Noticing how miserable and

00:22:53soaked she was, he took her home with him so she could rest. At his place she sat quietly before

00:22:58breaking down in tears. She thought about her journey, her job, her channel, and how everything

00:23:04was gone now. No more performances, no more connection with the children she loved so much.

00:23:09Ji-hwan noticed how sad she was. He had also heard that she had lost both her job and her apartment,

00:23:15leaving her with nowhere to go. He offered to let her stay with him until the rain stopped. She hesitated,

00:23:20but eventually agreed. Ji-hwan prepared food for her, but before she could eat she fell asleep from

00:23:26exhaustion. Seeing her asleep Ji-hwan gently covered her with a blanket. That's when he heard her

00:23:30murmuring a name in her sleep, Hyun. The next morning, when E-hwan woke up, she was shocked to

00:23:36find Ji-hwan's entire gang in his house preparing food. Ji-hwan had asked them to take care of E-hwan

00:23:42and cook for her. E-hwan was surprised by their behavior and felt a little uneasy, especially around

00:23:47one of them who was still annoyed with her for making Ji-hwan fall the other day. But Ji-hwan quickly

00:23:51stepped in, reminding them that E-hwan was his guest and that they should eat together peacefully.

00:23:56They controlled themselves and they all had lunch together. Later, Ji-hwan decided to visit

00:24:01the home of the drug-addicted employee he had previously worked with. He wanted to ask his

00:24:06little sister if her brother had been coming around. Young suggested that he take E-hwan with him.

00:24:11That way, the little girl wouldn't be scared of him, since after all, his appearance alone was

00:24:16enough to terrify any child. Young wanted to give Ji-hwan some alone time with E-hwan. So he told

00:24:21him that no one from the gang was available to go with him. This left Ji-hwan with no choice but to

00:24:26agree to take E-hwan along. Of course, E-hwan was more than happy to go with him. On the way, she asked

00:24:32why he was so concerned about this employee. Ji-hwan explained that the employee had once been a drug

00:24:37addict, but had turned his life around, worked with them, and was doing well. However, he suddenly got

00:24:44involved with the drug gang again and disappeared. That's why Ji-hwan was looking for him, to save him

00:24:49from the gang and bring him back to their company. Meanwhile, a gang member named Jun-hee met with Mina

00:24:55to convince her to use their products in her cooking segments for kids on her channel. This

00:24:59would help boost sales and improve their company's image. Mina told him that she received offers from

00:25:05other companies as well, but there was a specific reason why she would consider working with them.

00:25:10She then recalled an event from years ago when the drug gang had been after her because her father

00:25:15was involved with them and owed them a huge debt. At that time, Ji-hwan had saved her and paid off the

00:25:22debt. Since then, she had admired him, and that was her reason. Meanwhile, Ji-hwan and E-hwan arrived at

00:25:28the employee's house and met his little sister. E-hwan interacted with the child, assuring her that Ji-hwan

00:25:34wasn't a bad person and that he genuinely wanted to help. The little girl trusted them and allowed Ji-hwan

00:25:40to search through her brother's belongings to find clues about his whereabouts. As E-hwan played with the

00:25:46little girl, Hyun-woo suddenly arrived at the house. E-hwan asked him why he was there. He told her he was

00:25:51just out getting some fresh air and taking a walk, but in reality, he was there because of the drug case.

00:25:56Ji-hwan was surprised to see that they knew each other. Hyun-woo, on the other hand, acted rudely toward Ji-hwan,

00:26:02making things tense. He kept telling E-hwan that Ji-hwan had made a mistake by bringing her there

00:26:08and that the place was dangerous for her. He explained that the missing employee was now working

00:26:13with a dangerous gang, meaning Ji-hwan was putting her life at risk. Ji-hwan got frustrated. He told

00:26:18Hyun-woo that E-hwan had nothing to do with him, so no one would harm her because of him. He then

00:26:23sarcastically told Hyun-woo that if he was so worried about her, he should take her home himself. Ji-hwan

00:26:29then turned to E-hwan and told her there was no need for her to stay since she had already helped

00:26:34him enough. Then, he walked away. Hyun-woo was annoyed but took E-hwan with him. The whole way,

00:26:39he kept warning her about Ji-hwan, but E-hwan argued that Ji-hwan had never done anything to

00:26:44scare or harm her. She then asked why he hated Ji-hwan so much. Hyun-woo replied that he hated all

00:26:50criminals. He also revealed that he had known Ji-hwan for a long time and was fully aware of how dangerous

00:26:56he was. Getting close to him wasn't safe. After dropping her off, Hyun-woo left. E-hwan then went

00:27:02to Ji-hwan's house to pick up her belongings. She told him that she didn't know Hyun-woo that well

00:27:07and that their only connection was when she gave her statement about the case. Ji-hwan cut her off,

00:27:12saying she didn't need to explain anything to him. He admitted that Hyun-woo was right, she shouldn't

00:27:17see or talk to him anymore. But E-hwan firmly told him that she was old enough to decide for herself

00:27:23who to trust. She then took her things and left to spend the night at a sauna. At the sauna,

00:27:28she unexpectedly ran into Hongi. He told her he was on the run from Ji-hwan because he had stolen his

00:27:33seal and used it to sign work-related papers. Of course if Ji-hwan found out, he'd be furious since

00:27:38he hated anyone using his seal without permission. Hongi then asked what she was doing there,

00:27:43and she told him she had nowhere to stay. They started chatting, and he opened up about his past,

00:27:48how he had been imprisoned for fraud, a skill he had learned from his father. He admitted that his

00:27:53entire family was bad, and that he had been drowning in debt, and had hit rock bottom. But then, Ji-hwan

00:28:00entered his life, paid off all his debts, gave him a job, and taught him how to make an honest living.

00:28:05Ji-hwan had saved him. As they talked, Hongi got up to grab something, but accidentally bumped into a man

00:28:11from a rival gang. The man and his group immediately targeted him, bullying him. Ian tried to step in and

00:28:18help, but the gang members grabbed both of them. Dot just as things were getting bad, Ji-hwan appeared.

00:28:23Ian and Hongi immediately ran toward him and hid behind him. Of course the rival gang backed down

00:28:28and disappeared quickly. Ji-hwan then grabbed Hongi, clearly upset about the seal issue. He told him

00:28:33that he knew he had used his seal for something shady. He reminded him that while they might be

00:28:38criminals, that didn't mean they should completely sell their morals. Ji-hwan admitted he hadn't

00:28:42expected this from him, then let go and walked away. He took Ian with him. On the way,

00:28:47he scolded her for staying at the sauna, telling her it wasn't safe. He then said he would take

00:28:52her to his house until she found a new place to live. Ian agreed, but insisted she would pay him

00:28:56rent since she didn't like being a burden. She also said she would help teach his gang some manners

00:29:01and look after them. Ji-hwan agreed, just so she would stay. And so, Ian started living with him and the

00:29:07gang under the same roof. She taught them lessons and everything, filling in the gaps in their knowledge,

00:29:12as if they were children. Surprisingly, she found herself enjoying life with them. She loved the

00:29:17house too because, as it turned out, she had lived there as a child before Ji-hwan moved into the

00:29:23neighborhood. One day she overheard Ji arguing with Ji-hwan. Ji wanted to keep living with them,

00:29:28and was also upset that Ji-hwan was still mad at Hongi over a small mistake. But Ji-hwan firmly

00:29:34told him that Hongi's mistake wasn't small at all. They had all agreed to live with integrity,

00:29:40and earn an honest living. So for Hongi to use his seal to forge documents just to grow the company

00:29:46meant they were straying from their goal. That would make them no different from the criminals they used

00:29:50to do. Ian was moved by Ji-hwan's words. She sat with him and said that while he might look scary,

00:29:55he was actually kind, though a bit stupid. Ji-hwan was shocked. It was the first time anyone had ever

00:30:01called him stupid to his face. Later, Young sent Ji-hwan information about a girl from their childhood.

00:30:07Ji-hwan immediately tensed up. He demanded to know what Young had found out. Then, he rushed to Ian,

00:30:13finding her standing outside in the rain. He asked her if she was looking for something,

00:30:17or someone. Ian told him that she had come to the neighborhood and stood in front of his house

00:30:22because she had lived there as a child. She had so many memories in that house,

00:30:26especially with a little boy who used to live there. That time of her life had been the happiest,

00:30:31because that boy had been incredibly kind to her. Her memories with him were precious.

00:30:35She then thanked Ji-hwan for letting her live with them. The next day, Ian visited Hongi. She

00:30:40happily told him how much she loved living in their house and that he was missing out by not being

00:30:45there. Of course, Hongi got jealous. He asked if Ji-hwan had asked about him or missed having him

00:30:51around. Ian smirked and said, not at all. She teased him, saying that Ji-hwan only mentioned how

00:30:57empty the house felt without him and how much noise he used to make. He was just disappointed that

00:31:02Hongi had chosen the wrong way to solve the company's problem. After that, she dragged Hongi

00:31:06back to the house, where everyone was throwing a small party to celebrate her officially living

00:31:11with them. She made Hongi apologize to Ji-hwan and the gang for what he had done. Ji-hwan told Hongi

00:31:16he would forgive him, on one condition. He had to write a letter of apology expressing his regret.

00:31:20And so, the celebration began. Ian officially introduced herself to everyone. She told them what she liked,

00:31:26what she hated, and they all played together, quickly warming up to her presence. After the

00:31:31party, she sat with Ji-hwan and convinced him to play a game with her, since he hadn't joined

00:31:35any of the games during the party. However, she was completely drunk. At one point she looked at him

00:31:40and said, your eyes are really pretty. Then she leaned in, though it wasn't exactly intentional.

00:31:46She was playing dumb. The next day when she woke up and remembered what had happened, she was

00:31:50utterly embarrassed. She had no idea how she would face Ji-hwan. She tried to avoid him,

00:31:55but since their rooms were right across from each other, there was no escape.

00:31:58So, she pretended not to remember anything from the night before. Ji-hwan was a bit annoyed,

00:32:04but said, that's probably for the best. Ian misinterpreted this, and assumed Ji-hwan

00:32:08was upset about what had happened. She got defensive and snapped, yeah, it's for the best,

00:32:14I'll be careful from now on and won't drink with you guys again. Then she stormed off to the garden

00:32:18and started digging a spot for something dot, because she had buried things in that spot with her

00:32:23childhood friend. She called Hun-woo and asked if he had ever buried a time capsule before.

00:32:28He told her that he had, and that he had buried things that were precious to him. So,

00:32:33they agreed on a time to meet and have lunch together. Meanwhile, we shift to Lina,

00:32:37who starts working with Ji-hwan's company, promoting their products as they had agreed.

00:32:42However, during a promotional shoot, journalists asked her to taste the food in the ad. Lina became

00:32:47nervous since she had agreed with Wangina not to eat anything, but she had no choice. She ended up

00:32:52eating it for the sake of filming, only to suffer an allergic reaction due to the food's ingredient.

00:32:57Ji-hwan rushed to her aid, immediately taking her from the set to the hospital.

00:33:01Later, the rest of the gang returned home and told Ian what had happened, how Ji-hwan had helped Lina,

00:33:06and even held her, to keep her from collapsing in front of the press.

00:33:10Ian got annoyed and scolded them, saying they were supposed to be there for a lesson,

00:33:14not to gossip about Lina. A little while later Ji-hwan arrived too. He sat down and listened to the

00:33:19lesson. Then, he suddenly asked Ian the same question he had asked the others. Describe

00:33:24Ji-hwan in four words. Without hesitation, she said, a strong and scary gangster. Ji-hwan felt

00:33:30offended that she only saw him as a thug, so every time Ian tried to talk to him after that,

00:33:35he interrupted her saying, don't talk to me, I'm just a thug, remember? This went on until she lost

00:33:41her temper and snapped, is thug the only word you know? Why do you shove it into every sentence? Ji-hwan

00:33:47shot back, well aren't I a thug? Or do you see me as something else? That's when she realized he

00:33:52had overheard her earlier. She couldn't stop laughing. He was acting like a sulking child

00:33:56over one word. She assured him she didn't mean it the way he had taken it. Curious, Ji-hwan looked

00:34:02up the meaning of the word. He discovered that it could also describe a man's masculinity. In other

00:34:07words, she had been complimenting him, not insulting him. Feeling proud, he puffed out his chest and went

00:34:12downstairs to destroy the gym with an intense workout. The sudden change in his behavior didn't

00:34:17go unnoticed. One of the guys even joked, over my dead body will I let you marry that girl.

00:34:23Ji-hwan ignored him and walked away, only to run straight into Ian. Ji immediately scolded her,

00:34:28saying, stop looking at our boss with those eyes. Ian turned red with embarrassment. She quickly

00:34:33denied it and teased him in return. After that, they all went out for breakfast together.

00:34:37During the meal, Ji-hwan brought up Lina's allergy issue. Hing advised him that they couldn't

00:34:41continue working with her. If people found out she had an allergy to their food, it could damage the

00:34:46company's reputation even further. They needed to find a new brand ambassador. Later the time

00:34:52came for Ian's meeting with Hyun-woo. She took him to a nice place for lunch. As they ate,

00:34:57she noticed something. Hyun-woo shared his food with her, exactly the way her childhood friend used to.

00:35:03Her suspicions grew stronger. Could he really be the boy she had been searching for all these years?

00:35:09Just then, Hyun-woo received a call from work. He was informed that the younger sister of the

00:35:14addict employee had gone missing. Without hesitation, he and Ian rush to the child's house.

00:35:19Dot, they find the place in disarray and locked, with the girl nowhere to be found. It seems like

00:35:24she's been missing for a while. Ian gets worried about the child, and calls Ji-hwan, asking if he

00:35:29knows where she is. He asks if she's with anyone, and she replies that she's with Hyun-woo. Ji-hwan tells

00:35:35her that once she returns home, he will talk to her. Ian leaves Hyun-woo and tells him she's going to

00:35:40Ji-hwan to find out where the girl is. Hyun-woo gets upset, and requests to meet with Ji-hwan.

00:35:46When he meets him, he asks about the girl. Ji-hwan responds that he's the one who took her,

00:35:51and assures him she's safe with him. Hyun-woo then asks,

00:35:54Is Ian safe with you, or are you taking advantage of her and blackmailing her?

00:35:58Ji-hwan answers that he never exploits anyone, and wonders whether Hyun-woo is more concerned about

00:36:03Ian or about himself. Hyun-woo responds that he's concerned about Ji-hwan, especially since Ji-hwan has a

00:36:08criminal record. Ji-hwan replies, So you think I'm a thug because I have a past? Hyun-woo insists that

00:36:14it's because he saw Ji-hwan 10 years ago attacking an old woman, and he was the only witness. Ji-hwan

00:36:20becomes tense and leaves in frustration. Later, when Ian arrives home, she goes to Ji-hwan and asks about

00:36:27the little girl. He tells her that the girl is safe and doing well. He asks if she thought he would hurt

00:36:32her the way Hyun-woo did. Ian doesn't respond. He asks her when she and Hyun-woo became so close.

00:36:38Ian is silent, unsure how to answer. He then asks why she hasn't mentioned that she's living with him,

00:36:44whether it's because he's a prosecutor or because she's interested in him. Ian remains quiet again.

00:36:49Ji-hwan realizes she sees him just like everyone else, a bad guy, and leaves without saying another

00:36:54word. The next day, Ian goes to the gang's meat factory to work. She meets some of the workers there,

00:37:00and asks them about Ji-hwan and how he treats them. One of them says that they all love Ji-hwan

00:37:05because he's kind, good-looking, and doesn't care about their past. He's the only one who treats them

00:37:10like regular human beings, not as criminals. He even helps them continue their education and learn

00:37:17things they're passionate about. Ian is touched by their words. Back at work, they ask her to go to the

00:37:22storage room to get some items. She enters, but the door suddenly locks behind her. She tries to open it,

00:37:28but it's stuck. She's trapped inside. Ji-hwan isn't in the storage room either. He arrives,

00:37:33asking what she's doing there and why she's wearing work clothes. She explains that she came to help the

00:37:38gang and was curious about their work. He tries to open the door, but he can't. His phone dies,

00:37:44and they're both stuck in there. Instead of worrying about their situation, Ian comments that she never

00:37:50expected the workers to like Ji-hwan so much. She understands now why they're so attached to the company

00:37:56and the factory. They have a good boss who's kind, sweet, and handsome. The storage room turns out

00:38:01to be a freezer, and the temperature drops quickly. Ian starts to feel weak and cold. Ji-hwan apologizes,

00:38:07saying he doesn't know how to get them out. He moves closer to her to keep her warm, explaining

00:38:12that they're in a freezing continent, and that this is the only way they won't freeze. They remain trapped

00:38:17and close to each other in the cold storage room. Ian is moved by Ji-hwan's care and protection

00:38:22for her dot. After a while, the gang manages to break open the storage room door and get Ian and Ji-hwan

00:38:28out. However, Ian has already passed out. Ji-hwan picks her up and takes her to the hospital,

00:38:33where he stays by her side, worried until she regains consciousness. Ian recalls everything Ji-hwan

00:38:38said to her while they were in the storage room. She thanks him for his care and tells him that her

00:38:43family never cared for her the way he does. She then asks why he's being so kind to her and what she means

00:38:49to him. Ji-hwan gets nervous and doesn't know how to respond. However, the gang interrupts the moment,

00:38:54eager to know what Ian means to him. Ji-hwan uses the opportunity to scold them for locking them in

00:38:59the freezer in the first place. He asks, do you all have a sick mind? Who locks someone in a freezer?

00:39:05What did you expect would happen in that cold? One of the gang members explains that his intention

00:39:10was good, as he wanted to give Ji-hwan and Ian some alone time. Ji-hwan gets even more frustrated.

00:39:16Ian intervenes, telling him not to be mad at them and that it's all good now. One of the gang

00:39:21members starts crying because he was the one who locked them in, and he continues to apologize to

00:39:26Ian. Ian becomes upset with Ji-hwan, saying that his harshness made the gang member cry. Ji-hwan

00:39:32apologizes to her and later, Mi visits Ian at the hospital, as Ji-hwan had told her that Ian was there.

00:39:38While in the elevator, Mi runs into Young by chance. She wants to hide because she remembers the day Young

00:39:44approached her to ask about Ian and they became closer. Young, too, becomes nervous when he sees

00:39:49her. He tells her that whatever happened between them was a mistake. Mi feels annoyed but tells him

00:39:54that she's already forgotten about it and doesn't care. Mi stays with Ian while Ji-hwan finishes some

00:39:59work. Mi brings Ian a lot of things and Ian is surprised at how much she brought. Mi tells her that

00:40:05Ji-hwan sent her a long list of everything Ian might need. Ian is touched and happy. Mi then asks,

00:40:10Isn't Hyun-woo the prosecutor? Could he be the same Hyun-woo you've been looking for? Ian replies that

00:40:15she isn't sure yet. Mi insists that when he comes, she should ask him directly. Ian is taken aback

00:40:21because she didn't expect Hyun-woo to come visit her. She becomes nervous about how things will go

00:40:26when he meets Ji-hwan. She waits for Hyun-woo to arrive, taking him away from her room so that Ji-hwan

00:40:32won't see them together. While waiting, Ian sees children who greet her and mention Hyun-woo and his

00:40:37girlfriend Hyun-woo, surprised, jokes with them. The children seem to like him. Meanwhile Ji-hwan

00:40:42arrives at the hospital and waits in Ian's room until he falls asleep. When Ian returns,

00:40:47she doesn't want to wake him up and just watches him until he wakes up on his own. Ji-hwan notices

00:40:51and teases her, but Ian says she had just entered the room and offers him the bed so he can rest,

00:40:57since she doesn't want to sleep. She stays by his side in case he needs anything. Ji-hwan listens and

00:41:02agrees to rest. Ian asks him about his childhood and youth, and he shares that his childhood wasn't

00:41:07the best. There was only one person who made him feel at ease, someone he could only be comfortable

00:41:12with. He's always been quiet and reserved, so it was a big deal for him to open up to this person.

00:41:17He feels that she's very much like him. Ian asks if he's still in contact with her, and Ji-hwan answers

00:41:23that their relationship ended, and he hasn't heard from her since. The next day Ji-hwan wakes up and

00:41:28leaves quickly before Ian wakes up, accidentally dropping his briefcase. When Ian wakes up she

00:41:33prepares her things to leave with Mi. However, Mi is still asleep in the reception area. After

00:41:38spending the whole night there. Due to this, Ian experiences severe muscle cramps, so she asks Young

00:41:44to take Mi home while she walks alone. Mi continues to feel uneasy around Young, but decides to treat

00:41:50him normally, like a friend, because they'll have to see each other a lot in the future. When they arrive

00:41:54at Mi's house, Mi's father catches them, and he makes a mental note of Young. He insists that Young

00:42:00come in and meet the family. They ask him about his job, his salary, and if he can support a household.

00:42:05Mi tries to prevent the situation from escalating, but her parents insist that Young have breakfast

00:42:10with them and get to know him better. Young reluctantly agrees to go along with it. Meanwhile,

00:42:15Ian goes to Ji-hwan to return his briefcase, which had been left at his place when they spoke. She tells

00:42:20him that she doesn't want him to cancel their contract. Ji-hwan responds that Ian can't be

00:42:25the public face of their company because she's allergic to meat. Ian, wanting to prove her

00:42:29commitment to the job, insists that she can handle it. Ji-hwan stops her, and Ian, frustrated,

00:42:35hides before Ji-hwan notices her, leaving the briefcase and leaving quickly. Later Ji-hwan learns

00:42:41what happened from his staff, and he realizes that Ian must have misunderstood and been upset.

00:42:46She remains angry throughout the day, and when Ji-hwan arrives, she ignores him. He tells her that he

00:42:51hasn't eaten yet, so she reluctantly prepares food for him. He tries to explain that what she saw was

00:42:57just a simple meeting with Yina, but Ian isn't convinced, teasing him about holding hands with a

00:43:02model. He attempts to clear up the misunderstanding, but Ian keeps pressing him with questions until he

00:43:07can't take it anymore. Meanwhile, Ho-yu, one of the gang members, meets with Hyun-woo. We learn that Ho-yu is

00:43:13working with Hyun-woo, providing him with information about Ji-hwan and any developments

00:43:18regarding the addicted employee. Ho-yu tells Hyun-woo that Ji-hwan is just trying to save the employee

00:43:24because he cares for them and isn't expecting anything in return. Hyun-woo listens carefully

00:43:28before returning to his office. There, he searches for a person named Hyun, who is connected to Ian.

00:43:34He digs into birth dates and the people who lived at the address Ian gave him, eventually discovering that

00:43:40the person he's searching for had changed his name. His childhood name was also Hyun-woo. At the

00:43:46same time, Ji-hwan is digging in the garden, unearthing a time capsule that he and Ian had buried

00:43:52together when they were young. He goes to Ian and tells her that he found the time capsule she was

00:43:56looking for, but he doesn't tell her that the person she's searching for is the same one. He simply

00:44:01tells her that not all memories should be kept and some are better left buried. He leaves her to it.

00:44:07Ian takes the capsule to her room to reflect on the memories, and then she calls Hyun-woo saying

00:44:11she wants to meet him to show him something important. She's referring to the time capsule,

00:44:16and Hyun-woo agrees to meet with her. Meanwhile Ji-hwan goes to his office,

00:44:20and Young shows up to inform him that he's discovered where the drug gang will be receiving

00:44:24their new shipment. He suggests that they inform the police, but Ji-hwan insists that they can't.

00:44:30If they call the police, the addicted employee might be harmed, and he doesn't want anything to

00:44:34happen to him. Young tells him, but if you go alone without the police, you'll be the one getting

00:44:39hurt. There's a good chance you'll get caught up in the drug issue, and you have nothing to do with it.

00:44:44Ji-hwan responds, saying that he can't report it to the police because this case involves Hyun-woo,

00:44:49and Hyun-woo hates him. This hatred stems from the accident that happened 10 years ago,

00:44:54which Young is aware of. Young tells him, but you're innocent. You had no control over what happened

00:45:00back then. Why is he blaming you? Ji-hwan replies, don't forget, everything that happened was because

00:45:05of me. He remembers an incident from 10 years ago involving a gang that was taking bribes and

00:45:10engaging in thuggery. This same gang is now involved in drug traffic. The gang back then had connections

00:45:15with Ji-hwan and his father. At the time, Ji-hwan wanted to solve the issue on his own, so he reported

00:45:20the gang's leader. When the gang found out, they decided to take revenge on Ji-hwan. They went to the hotel,

00:45:25where he had an important meeting, and started attacking people there. Their goal was to kill

00:45:30Ji-hwan, and they kept beating him. He sustained severe injuries and couldn't save the people at

00:45:34the hotel, some of whom died. Young saw Ji-hwan at the hotel, covered in blood, and misunderstood

00:45:39the situation. He thought that Ji-hwan was responsible for the deaths, and this is why he hates him.

00:45:45The next day, Eon wakes up and goes downstairs to have breakfast with the gang. When Ji-hwan arrives,

00:45:50he looks nervous and scared. Eon asks him what happened, and he tells her about the

00:45:55conversation between Young and Ji-hwan in the office since he overheard it. He explains that

00:46:00Ji-hwan is planning to go alone to the gang to get a deal from them. The gang members are not aware of

00:46:04the location, so they start talking about Ji-hwan. Eon remembers that she had set up a tracking program

00:46:10between her and Ji-hwan, and she is able to pinpoint his location. Ji-hwan and Young have already reached

00:46:15the gang's hideout. Ji-hwan grabs the gang leader and threatens to kill him, unless Young gets the deal

00:46:21and they leave. Young successfully gets the deal, and they start to leave. However, Ji-hwan is left

00:46:26alone, and the gang members hit him with a car, injuring him severely. They continue to beat him.

00:46:32The gang leader mocks him, asking, aren't you the one living with that woman who makes children's

00:46:37videos? Ji-hwan can't stand anyone speaking about Eon that way, so he fights back and beats them. At the

00:46:44same time, Hyun-woo arrives at the gang's hideout, and the police show up, arresting everyone,

00:46:49including Ji-hwan. Unfortunately, the gang leader manages to escape. Meanwhile, Eon and Ji-hwan's gang

00:46:55arrive, and they see the police with Ji-hwan. They rush to the police station, waiting to hear any news

00:47:01about him. Hyun-woo enters the interrogation room with Ji-hwan, and asks him about the deal. Ji-hwan denies

00:47:07knowing anything about it. Hyun-woo then asks, don't you also know who sent me the gang's location this

00:47:12morning? Ji-hwan remains silent. Hyun-woo, feeling frustrated, speaks to him by his real name. Ji-hwan

00:47:18responds, saying he doesn't know anyone by that name. Hyun-woo presses, saying, do you know that Eon

00:47:23thinks I'm the person she's been desperately looking for? Ji-hwan replies that nothing Hyun-woo is saying

00:47:28has anything to do with him. Hyun-woo ends the interrogation, because there's no evidence against

00:47:34Ji-hwan. Afterward, Ji-hwan is released from the police station, and finds all of his gang and Eon

00:47:40waiting for him. Eon is upset to see him in this state. He walks away and leaves them. When they

00:47:45return home, Eon is still worried about him, and waits outside the house for him to come back. She

00:47:51wants to tend to his injuries, but Ji-hwan refuses. He tells her, if you have any feelings for me, forget

00:47:56them, because I don't have any feelings for you. In the end, Ji-hwan tells Eon, to me you're just my

00:48:02neighbor, nothing more. He leaves and Eon is upset and hurt. Of course, Ji-hwan said this to push her away,

00:48:08because he believes that he is a danger to her, and that she shouldn't be involved with him. The next

00:48:13day, the gang continues to pressure Ji-hwan for acting impulsively, and putting himself in danger

00:48:19without their help, and especially for upsetting Eon by telling her that he doesn't love her. Even Ji-hwan's

00:48:25ally, who previously disliked Young, is now siding with him, which also bothers Ji-hwan. Later, Eon goes to

00:48:33meet Hyun-woo, and he has the capsule with him. Hyun-woo tells her that there's something she needs to

00:48:38know. He explains that he's not the person she's been searching for. He then asks her why she's

00:48:43looking so desperately for this person. Eon explains that when she was young, she and her mother were

00:48:48constantly pursued by gangs and debt collectors, and this person was the only one who protected her.

00:48:54Because of him, she was hurt the last time he protected her. Hyun-woo tells her that he found this

00:48:59person and that he's alive and well, with no problems. However, he doesn't mention that it's Ji-hwan.

00:49:05Eon returns home and talks to Ji-hwan, telling him that she found the person she was looking for.

00:49:11She mentions that she remembered his advice about keeping some memories buried in her heart.

00:49:15She thanks him for everything he has done for her, and says that she doesn't want to know him anymore.

00:49:20She decides to move out of his house. Ji-hwan is upset, but tries not to show it. The next day,

00:49:25the gang decides to take a break and go on a trip, leaving Ji-hwan and Young alone as a punishment

00:49:31for their actions. Ji-hwan goes to Hyun-woo's office to finish his statement for the investigation.

00:49:36Afterward, Hyun-woo tells him that he said the person Eon is looking for is doing fine. Ji-hwan

00:49:42replies that he doesn't care to know. He then goes to the gang leader and warns him not to approach him

00:49:48or anyone in his gang again. Ji-hwan tells him that if he does, he won't hesitate to kill him.

00:49:54Later, Ji-hwan returns to the office and learns that the man who was once close to his father

00:49:59and whom he reported ten years ago will be released from prison that day.

00:50:03He becomes worried about the potential revenge from this person. When he returns home,

00:50:07he finds the gang has come back, and Young tells them that this is the last time she will live in

00:50:12their house. Ji-hwan pulls her aside and asks her if she's played house before she moves out.

00:50:17She tells him that she's grown up now and can take care of herself. She also asks him to stop being

00:50:22nice to her so that she doesn't misunderstand and cross boundaries with him again. The gang is

00:50:27upset that Eon is leaving them, so they hold a meeting and come up with a plan to stop her.

00:50:33They begin putting it into action. Ji-hwan goes to meet them and says,

00:50:36we are used to your harsh methods. We know this is how you express love and concern for us,

00:50:40but Eon is like a little chick. She won't understand this. Then one of them suggests that Ji-hwan needs to

00:50:46treat Eon more gently. When you like a girl, you can't treat her the same way you treat your gang

00:50:50members. They tell him. Ji-hwan insists that he doesn't like Eon. His friend replies,

00:50:55come on man, if you don't like her, you should know that she has a planned date right now.

00:50:59He gives him the address of the cafe where she's meeting someone. Indeed, Eon is at the cafe waiting

00:51:05for Hyun. This, of course, is all part of the gang's plan. They send a man to approach Eon and

00:51:10introduce himself, telling her, I'm your destiny waiting for you. Eon is initially surprised and

00:51:15uneasy, but she eventually finds him charming and they start chatting. Ji-hwan arrives at the cafe

00:51:20and, feeling frustrated, sits at a nearby table, burning with jealousy as he watches the man flirt

00:51:26with Eon. Eon asks the man where he knows Ji-hwan from. He replies that he and Hyun-woo are friends,

00:51:32and they also work together at the company, but in a different department, which is why she hasn't

00:51:36seen him before. Eon then asks if he knows Ji-hwan, and the man replies, of course, he's our manager.

00:51:43He's great, has charisma, and all the employees admire him. He continues by saying the only flaw

00:51:48Ji-hwan has is that he's too closed off and doesn't know how to deal with women. Eon replies,

00:51:54that's not really a flaw though. At that moment, Eon spots Ji-hwan with Yina by chance and walks over

00:51:59to talk to him. She notices that Ji-hwan is sitting behind her, and as she sees him with Yina, Ji-hwan tries to

00:52:04take control of the situation. He asks Yina, what are you doing here? We don't have a meeting planned.

00:52:10Yina responds, did you forget? You gave me this. Eon becomes upset and leaves with the man she's with,

00:52:16walking away from Ji-hwan, gets upset, and takes Hyun to his office. Hyun explains that she was just

00:52:22saving him because no one should know that he was secretly watching Eon. Ji-hwan apologizes. Hyun then

00:52:27tells him she came to talk about work, and has found a new way to promote his products without having

00:52:32to consume them herself, and she wants his continued support. Meanwhile, Eon returns home, and Hyun

00:52:37apologizes for introducing her to his friend. Eon responds that he's very nice, but it's obvious

00:52:43he's the type who's always surrounded by women. Hyun explains that the man is a sales representative,

00:52:49and that's why he's so charming with his words. Ji-hwan gets annoyed and tells Hyun that he shouldn't

00:52:53have let her meet someone like that, and that Eon will likely leave because of it. Eon then says,

00:52:59she is leaving not because of anyone, but because she wants to start a new life. They try to convince

00:53:03her to stay, but when Ji-hwan returns home, they tell him to try to persuade Eon. However, Ji-hwan

00:53:09is irritated with her, and tells her that he doesn't care whether she stays or leaves, as long as she

00:53:14doesn't contact anyone from his company, go on dates, or distract him from work. Eon responds,

00:53:20are you really that concerned about your work? Focus on it, but don't keep hanging out with models. Ji-hwan

00:53:25insists she's misunderstood, and it was just a business meeting. They end up arguing, each

00:53:30expressing how irritated they are with the other. Eventually, Eon walks away, realizing that things are

00:53:36over. She leaves the house, and Ji-hwan heads to his room, feeling more frustrated than ever after

00:53:41what he said to her. Meanwhile, Hyun-woo meets the daughter of the woman who was a victim in the hotel

00:53:47accident 10 years ago. He asks her about Ji-hwan, and she admits that she treated Ji-hwan harshly when he

00:53:52came to her mother's funeral to apologize. But later she realized that Ji-hwan had been supporting

00:53:58her financially from afar, and had no connection to her mother's death. She also realized he had

00:54:03been trying to protect her. Hyun-woo is surprised, realizing that he had misunderstood Ji-hwan all

00:54:09this time. The next day, Ji-hwan goes to look for a suitable house for Eon and finds one. Meanwhile,

00:54:15Eon is also searching for an affordable place, but ends up not renting one, because the deposit is too high.

00:54:21While walking away, she's confronted by a group of bullying high school students, and during the

00:54:26ordeal, her phone falls. Just then, Ji-hwan calls her to tell her that he has found a place for her.

00:54:32Hearing the commotion, he runs to find her. The kids tell him that she dropped her phone and went

00:54:37to the police station with the bullies. He heads to the station, but Hyun-woo has already arrived,

00:54:42because Eon had contacted him when she got there. Hyun-woo takes her out, and Ji-hwan quickly hides

00:54:47before Eon sees him. When Eon returns home, she finds that Ji-hwan has been calling her numerous

00:54:52times. She goes to him and asks if he went to the station earlier. Ji-hwan gets nervous and replies

00:54:57that he didn't want to disturb her since she seemed fine. Eon gets upset and tells him that it would

00:55:02have been nice if he had checked on her. He responds, that's just how I am. I don't know how to handle

00:55:08things any other way. Eon tells him, fine, if there's nothing else you need to say, I want to tell you

00:55:14that I was happy here, and I was happy with you. I appreciated the time we spent together.

00:55:19She leaves feeling upset. She then goes to the real estate agent to finalize renting a new place,

00:55:24walking away from Ji-hwan. As she leaves Ji-hwan stays thinking about Eon, realizing that she is

00:55:29going to leave him for good. He decides to stop her from renting another place and starts searching

00:55:34for her dot. Ji-hwan calls Eon, but she doesn't answer because she's sitting with Hyun-woo. Hyun-woo confesses

00:55:40his feelings to her, telling her that he loves her. Meanwhile, Ji-hwan arrives and overhears them.

00:55:45He approaches Eon and asks if she's forgotten that today is cleaning day at the house. She's supposed

00:55:50to be helping at home, not out with others. Eon responds that she's leaving the house today for

00:55:55good. Ji-hwan questions if that means she won't do her duties until her last day. Eon is taken aback

00:56:02by his rude comment and gets angry, telling him that she will finish her conversation with Hyun-woo first,

00:56:08and then return home. Ji-hwan insists on staying with her until she leaves. She leaves to go to

00:56:13Mi-woo's house and spends the entire day there, deciding to stay the night, instead of returning

00:56:18to Ji-hwan's house. Ji-hwan spends the whole night at home, unable to sleep, and the gang becomes worried

00:56:24about him. They come up with a plan to help him. The next day, when Eon returns to the house to pack her

00:56:30things, they start executing their plan. Ji-hwan approaches Eon, telling her that Ji-hwan is sick and

00:56:36needs to go to the hospital. He takes her, Mi, and her friend in a car. After driving for a while,

00:56:42Ji-hwan and Eon are forced into the car by the gang, as though they are being kidnapped. They both

00:56:47don't understand what's going on until they finally realize that the whole thing was just a way to get

00:56:52them all to go on a family trip together. Eon tells them that she wants to get off to collect her things

00:56:57and leave. Mi agrees with her, but no one trusts their words. They tell Eon that she should consider

00:57:02this a farewell trip since she wants to leave them. Eon reluctantly agrees and goes with them.

00:57:07When they arrive at the trip destination, Eon decides to walk alone in the forest to get some

00:57:12fresh air. Ji-hwan notices she's missing and becomes anxious, fearing something has happened to her.

00:57:17Her phone is off, so he goes looking for her with the gang. Eventually, they find her and Ji-hwan runs

00:57:23to her out of concern. Eon gets startled and almost falls, but Ji-hwan catches her and they both end up

00:57:29falling. He scolds her for having her phone off and walking alone. Eon asks,

00:57:34Why are you yelling at me? What did I do wrong? She then asks why he was looking for her in the

00:57:38first place. Ji-hwan, irritated, says, Because I was worried about you. I called you several times

00:57:43and your phone was off. Eon responds, I never told you to worry about me. If you're so upset,

00:57:49you shouldn't have come looking for me. Eon becomes upset with him and Ji-hwan tries to apologize.

00:57:54He admits that he's been in love with her for a long time, from the bottom of his heart.

00:57:58But, before Eon can respond, she's in pain from her leg injury. Ji-hwan carries her to return to

00:58:05the rest of the gang. Eon admits that she's been fond of him ever since he saved her in the hospital,

00:58:10when the other kid's parents wanted to hurt her. Ji-hwan is so surprised that he almost

00:58:15drops her again. Eon laughs at his reaction and moves closer to him, causing Ji-hwan to lose control

00:58:21and faint for a few seconds. He quickly regains consciousness and assures her everything is fine.

00:58:26He carries her back to their friends, and later that night, they all gather for dinner. Ji-hwan

00:58:31cooks as usual and they're all impressed by his skills, especially Eon. To impress her further, Ji-hwan

00:58:37decides to cook for her specifically and serves all the food just for her. Eon decides not to leave and

00:58:43tells them that she will stay with them. Everyone is happy, especially Ji-hwan.ji-hwan takes Eon aside and

00:58:49wants to ask her if they can start dating. However, as soon as he looks at her and focuses, he gets

00:58:54flustered and can't even remember his own name. He quickly walks away, leaving Eon confused about

00:59:00what just happened. They return to their house, and Ji-hwan goes to work. Eon sends him a cute video

00:59:05without saying anything else, and Ji-hwan falls in love with her all over again, from the 10th floor.

00:59:10Later, the gang gathers because Man is with them for a pregnancy test. They assume Eon must be pregnant.

00:59:17However, when Young sees the test he recalls a moment from the trip, when Mi-woo didn't eat the

00:59:22meat, and realizes Mi-woo must be the one who's pregnant due to their relationship. This realization

00:59:27makes Young upset with himself, as he didn't know Mi-woo was pregnant when he told her that their

00:59:32relationship was a mistake. At the same time, Eon meets Hyun-woo. She thanks him for helping her a lot,

00:59:38but tells him she's interested in someone else, so she can't return his feelings. She wishes him to

00:59:43find someone better. Hyun-woo reassures her not to feel guilty, saying that he's just happy to know

00:59:48her and considers her a valuable friend. He drives her to Ji-hwan's house, and Ji-hwan sees them

00:59:54together as he's coming back. He immediately approaches Eon, telling her, come on darling,

00:59:59let's go home together. Eon is surprised by his strange reaction, and comments on how much he's

01:00:04changed, saying, wow, you've really evolved. Ji-hwan replies that he doesn't want to see her with Hyun-woo

01:00:09anymore. She tells him that she's already clarified everything with Hyun-woo. Ji-hwan says he doesn't

01:00:13want her to see anyone else but him. He moves closer to her and performs CPR on her. The next

01:00:18day, Eon wakes up thinking about the sweet words Ji-hwan said to her. She's really happy and starts

01:00:23preparing to go downstairs for breakfast with him and the gang. When she comes down, she looks beautiful,

01:00:28so much so that the gang is stunned. They tell her that her beauty is blinding. Eon explains that her

01:00:33beauty isn't because of anyone, it's just who she is. Meanwhile, Ji-hwan also comes down, now wearing

01:00:39colorful clothes instead of his usual black ones. Everyone is surprised by the sudden change and his

01:00:44newfound kindness toward Eon. At this point, they still don't know that Eon and Ji-hwan have become

01:00:50a couple. Ji-hwan goes to work and the gang starts to notice how happy he's been, constantly laughing

01:00:55like a fool. They think he's gone crazy except for Young, who knows what's really going on. Young approaches

01:01:01Ji-hwan and says, you seem really happy, are you dating? Ji-hwan gets flustered and asks why Young

01:01:06seems upset. Young is troubled because of what he's learned about Mi-woo's pregnancy. Afterward,

01:01:12Ji-hwan goes with Young to buy some toys and work-related items for Eon. However, due to a power

01:01:17outage in the mall, the kids start crying. Ji-hwan entertains them by making silly faces to cheer them up.

01:01:23Eon is touched, remembering how her friend used to do the same thing to cheer her up when she was little.

01:01:28Meanwhile, Young decides to visit Mi-woo. He tells her that he wants to take responsibility and go

01:01:33on a date with her, confessing that he likes her. However, Mi-woo recalls what Hong-ji told her about

01:01:40Young not being fond of relationships and preferring to be alone. She realizes that Young is only saying

01:01:46this to ease his conscience. So, she sacrifices her own feelings and tells him that she doesn't like him

01:01:52anymore and doesn't want to date him or have him take responsibility. Young is heartbroken because

01:01:57he has genuine feelings for her. Eon, meanwhile, focuses on getting back to her activities.

01:02:02She starts a new YouTube channel and begins getting new offers. Ji-hwan participates and continuously

01:02:08supports her, praising her non-stop. But he notices that Hyun-woo is also supporting her in the same way,

01:02:13and this annoys Ji-hwan. He starts leaving comments, increasing the intensity of his remarks,

01:02:18which leads to a full-blown comment war between him and Hyun-woo. With each of them trying to outdo

01:02:23the other in their praise, Dot Ji-hwan takes a break from work and joins the rest of the gang for

01:02:29dinner at a restaurant. On their way there, they run into Eon by chance, and Lina invites her to join

01:02:35them, which she agrees to. Ji-hwan becomes very upset because Eon replied to Hyun-woo's comments but

01:02:41didn't respond to his. She didn't know who was behind the comments since they used fake accounts,

01:02:45but Ji-hwan is furious. Eventually, the gang takes Eon and Lina and they all head to the restaurant.

01:02:51Ji-hwan stays close to Eon, even making sure the waiter doesn't approach her. Lina starts teasing

01:02:56Ji-hwan, asking his opinion on her work, and Ji-hwan gets nervous, complimenting her work. Lina then

01:03:02tries to provoke Eon, congratulating her on her new channel and comparing her offers to Eon's. This

01:03:07upsets Ji-hwan, and he defends Eon, mentioning that Eon is also talented and loves her work so much that

01:03:14she injured her hands while filming her offers. Eon feels happy, but Lina gets upset. While Eon goes

01:03:19to the bathroom, she tells Lina that Ji-hwan is like a superhero to her and saved her 10 years ago,

01:03:24and she won't let Lina have him. Eon reassures Lina that she's not jealous and isn't bothered by

01:03:29her closeness to Ji-hwan because their relationship is purely professional. Eon tells her that her

01:03:33relationship with Ji-hwan is much closer than that. Lina gets irritated by Eon's confidence,

01:03:39and when they return from dinner, Eon explains to Ji-hwan that he was upset because she didn't

01:03:43respond to his comment. She apologizes, saying she was busy with work, and promises to reply

01:03:48first next time, and even send him a heart. Ji-hwan is delighted like a child. The next day,

01:03:54Eon goes on a trip, and Hui drives her. They sit at a cafe where they coincidentally run into Hyun-woo and

01:03:59his friend. Hui gets nervous because he hasn't told anyone about his relationship with Hyun-woo,

01:04:04Hyun-woo is surprised. Hyun-woo introduces Hui as an old friend, but Hui feels uncomfortable and doesn't

01:04:09like being there. Suddenly, they see a man who seems to know Hui, and the man confronts him angrily,

01:04:15asking why he came to that cafe again. He grabs Hui, and Hui pushes him away and walks quickly,

01:04:20clearly shaken. Eon and Young try to find him, but they can't. Eon asks Hyun-woo if he knows anything

01:04:25about the situation, and Hyun-woo explains that Hui used to live in the same neighborhood as him.

01:04:29There was an incident in high school, and after that Hui moved out of the area and ended up with

01:04:35Ji-hwan. They eventually drop Eon off at Ji-hwan's house where they find Hui sitting there. He apologizes

01:04:41for leaving without saying anything, and they all enter the house. Ji-hwan is upset and tells Hyun-woo

01:04:46that Hui should stop hanging around his house and his gang. Hyun-woo responds that he still likes Eon,

01:04:51and isn't going to stop liking her. This makes Ji-hwan even more upset, although he tries to hide it,

01:04:56especially when he finds out that Hyun-woo knows him. Meanwhile, Young is very upset after what

01:05:01Mi-woo said to him, so he goes drinking. He visits Mi-woo, bringing her gifts and apologizing,

01:05:07telling her he loves her with all his heart and wants her to give him a chance. Mi-woo is moved,

01:05:12but her father catches them, and Young even faints. Mi-woo has to let him stay the night. The next day,

01:05:17Mi-woo goes to her part-time job, and Ji-hwan happens to be heading there to check on Eon. When he sees

01:05:23Yang-hee, who's upset with Ji-hwan, he almost loses his temper, wanting to punch him, but Eon stops him.

01:05:29Ji-hwan warns Yang-hee to stay away from him, but Yang-hee doesn't move and continues provoking him,

01:05:35reminding Ji-hwan that he was responsible for ruining their drug deal and that he will make Ji-hwan

01:05:40regret it. He also says that the gang leader won't let him get away with it and will probably use Eon

01:05:46to get revenge. After Yang-hee leaves, Ji-hwan is worried about Eon's safety. He goes to meet Hyun-woo,

01:05:51and asks him about Su-tai, the gang leader. Hyun-woo explains that he has been watching

01:05:55him for a while and was working on a drug case. However, his superior, the one behind the case,

01:06:01took it from him, so he won't be able to investigate it further. Ji-hwan describes Su-tai as a ruthless and

01:06:07evil person, someone he has been trying to escape for 20 years. He says he can't stand having Su-tai

01:06:12around and doesn't want to get involved with him again. The next day, Eon is still upset with Ji-hwan

01:06:18for not telling her about the situation with Yang-hee, for getting angry with her,

01:06:22and for wanting her to quit her job. Ji-hwan tries to apologize, explaining that he was only worried

01:06:28about her because Yang-hee is a bad person. Eon immediately forgives him, telling him not to

01:06:33worry about her as she knows martial arts and can defend herself. She reassures him that she's very

01:06:38capable.Ji-hwan takes Eon to a room in his house that he has turned into a studio for her to record her

01:06:43shows. Eon is very pleased and thanks him. Ji-hwan becomes proud of himself and decides to pamper

01:06:48her even more by making her lunch. He keeps showing off his strength and muscles, and Eon doesn't

01:06:54stay silent, acting sweet and playful. The atmosphere becomes warm and full of affection.

01:07:00As things heat up, they both feel closer to each other. Later, Ji-hwan and his team go to lunch at

01:07:05Yang-hee's restaurant. Young continues to provoke Yang-hee, asking if he's no longer in charge of the case.

01:07:10Hyun-woo, who is with them, responds that even though Yang-hee is no longer in charge,

01:07:15he won't stop causing trouble. Yang-hee mocks Hyun-woo and asks if he wants his number to keep in touch,

01:07:22opening his phone, which turns out to be filled with videos of Eon. Hyun-woo loses his temper and

01:07:27punches him, telling him to stay away from Eon and not to touch her. From this, Ji-hwan understands that

01:07:32Eon is very important to Hyun-woo as well. Eon and the gang then visit an orphanage that Ji-hwan

01:07:38regularly donates to where they play with the children. When Ji-hwan sees how cute they look

01:07:43playing with the kids, he feels happy. He also feels guilty toward Eon, as she's so innocent and

01:07:48unaware of his dark past. He pulls her aside and confesses everything to her. He tells her that his

01:07:54father was a notorious gang leader, and he discovered when he was 13 that his father was a criminal.

01:07:59His father, Su-tai, was the leader of a huge drug cartel. Ji-hwan shares that he has been trying to

01:08:05stay away from him for years. Even Su-tai never treated him like a son. Ji-hwan once went to him

01:08:10to ask for money for his mother's medical operation, but his mother died during the surgery.

01:08:15Afterwards, Su-tai started blackmailing him for the money he gave him and forced him to leave school

01:08:19to work as a lackey in his gang. Eon is shocked by the revelation but understands Ji-hwan. She reassures

01:08:25him that he's not to blame for his father's crimes and that he has changed. She tells him he did the right

01:08:30thing by reporting his father, and after his father was imprisoned, Ji-hwan took down the

01:08:36rest of the evil gangs and turned his own gang into a group of good, kind people. She tells him not to

01:08:41blame himself, because no one chooses their family. Ji-hwan is touched by Eon's understanding and

01:08:47acceptance, and he feels relieved that she doesn't judge him for his past. Later, they return to the

01:08:52company and Eon talks to Hui. However, the man from the cafe shows up at the company to continue his

01:08:58confrontation with Hui. Eon tries to defend Hui, but the man pushes her. When Ji-hwan sees what

01:09:04happens, he assumes the man is from Yang-hi's group and wants to harm Eon. He angrily confronts

01:09:09the man, but the man reveals that he is the brother of the girl Hui accidentally killed years ago.

01:09:15This shocks everyone, as Hui has always been the kindest among them. The man continues to confront Hui,

01:09:21but Ji-hwan stops him apologizing for attacking him. The man says they can talk calmly now,

01:09:25and he sits down with them. Soon, the man's mother arrives at the company with Hyun-woo,

01:09:31because she had contacted him to tell him that her son had come to confront Hui at the company,

01:09:36planning to harm him. She and Hyun-woo wanted to intervene because Hyun-woo was originally

01:09:41responsible for the case. The man insists that no one can talk to him unless Ji-hwan kneels and

01:09:46apologizes. Ji-hwan apologizes on behalf of Hui, and Hui starts crying, remembering the tragic accident.

01:09:52It turns out that he had been in love with the man's sister, and they had been planning to marry.

01:09:57On her birthday, while riding on his motorcycle, they had an accident. She died, and he lived,

01:10:03carrying this guilt ever since. Hyun-woo intervenes, telling the man that it was an accident,

01:10:07and that Hui has already paid the price for it. He insists there's no reason for the man to continue

01:10:12blaming him, as Hui is innocent. Hui continues to apologize, crying, and eventually the man leaves.

01:10:19He walks away still upset while Hui remains crying alone. Eon goes to comfort him. Eon comforts him,

01:10:26telling him she understands the feeling of guilt very well because she too was the cause of hurting

01:10:31her friend. She has never forgiven herself and continues to punish herself for it. They all go

01:10:35back to the house, including Hyun-woo, to stay by Hui's side. Chui apologizes to them for the difficult

01:10:41time they've had because of him. Ji-hwan reassures him that they are all like family, and that out of all of

01:10:47them, Chui is the least guilty. He tells them that Hyun-woo has always been against joining Ji-hwan's

01:10:52company because he's known Hui for a long time and knows how good of a person he is. He was convinced

01:10:58that Hui should have lived an ordinary life instead of being around criminals. But now, after seeing how

01:11:03much they care for each other and how much Ji-hwan does for him, Hyun-woo realizes that Ji-hwan is holding

01:11:08on to them because they are good people. He admits he was wrong and apologizes, saying that they truly are

01:11:14good people. They thank Ji-hwan and agree to let go of their differences, to work together to bring

01:11:19down the drug cartel, and to protect Eon from Yang-hee. The next day, Ji-hwan arrives at the

01:11:24company. Young gives him all the photos he has collected of Eon, showing her going about her day

01:11:28as usual. He tells Ji-hwan that someone is stalking Eon. When Ji-hwan asks who's behind this, Young tells

01:11:34him it's Sudai, and since he's been released from prison, he's been targeting Eon. Ji-hwan understands that

01:11:39his father wants to use Eon against him because she is the one person he truly cares about.

01:11:44Meanwhile, Eon is reflecting on all the moments she's had with Ji-hwan, comparing his actions to

01:11:49those of her friend, as he does the same things. She decides to call Hyun-woo and tells him that she

01:11:54needs to see him, urgently. He tells her to meet him, but Ji-hwan calls her first. Worried about her

01:11:59safety from his father, he asks her to stay home that day. Eon agrees but she doesn't listen and

01:12:04goes to meet Hyun-woo. She asks him about her friend, the one who told her he knew him. He asks her

01:12:09why she's asking, and she confesses that she suspects it's Ji-hwan. Hyun-woo confirms everything.

01:12:15Ji-hwan later goes to meet his father to find out exactly what he wants from him.

01:12:19Sudai taunts him, asking why he thinks he's so different from him. Ji-hwan insists he doesn't

01:12:25consider Sudai his father and that he is nothing like him. Sudai mocks Ji-hwan's attempt to separate

01:12:31himself from his criminal past and points out that they are not that different after all. Ji-hwan becomes

01:12:37furious and storms off, feeling suffocated by his father's words. Meanwhile Ji-hwan meets Mio and

01:12:42tries to get closer to her again. In the heat of the moment, he accidentally lets it slip that he

01:12:47knows she's pregnant. Mio gets upset and accuses him of only saying he likes her because of guilt.

01:12:52Ji-hwan gets angry too and insists that what he feels is real. He explains that he loves her,

01:12:57but was afraid to get closer because of his family's background. He's never received love from

01:13:02them and he feared he wouldn't be able to be a good husband or father to their child. He tells her

01:13:07that he has decided to stop living in fear and start a new life with her, forming a family. Mio is

01:13:13moved by his words and feels the sincerity in his feelings. She decides to give him a chance. Ji-hwan

01:13:19walks away, feeling disheartened and reflecting on his father's words. At the same time, Eon has finally

01:13:25discovered the truth that Ji-hwan is the one she's been searching for all along. She knew he was her

01:13:31friend but didn't realize it until now because he had kept it from her for her own good. Eon searches

01:13:37for Ji-hwan and when she finds him, she cries, telling him, how could you hide something like this

01:13:43from me? Do you know how long I've been looking for you? I don't even know how to apologize for what

01:13:48happened. She tells him that she missed him so much and wanted to see him for a long time. She apologizes

01:13:53for not recognizing him sooner. Ji-hwan approaches her and comforts her, telling her that he missed

01:13:58her too. They sit together, reminiscing about their memories. Ji-hwan admits that he wanted to

01:14:03say goodbye to her before disappearing from her life. Ji-hwan continues, telling Eon that he felt

01:14:08it would be better to leave without saying goodbye, as he believed keeping distance would protect her

01:14:13from himself. He admits he never knew she blamed herself for hurting him or that she had been looking

01:14:19for him until recently. Eon thanks him for caring about her back then and still caring now, expressing

01:14:24how happy she is that he is her friend. Meanwhile, Young is with Mi-ho, and Mi-ho decides to keep the

01:14:29baby and raise it. She shows him the ultrasound picture, and Young is very happy. He admits that

01:14:34he is excited to become a father, although his tough past had made him afraid of the idea of having

01:14:39children. Mi-ho is moved by his sincerity and begins to admire him even more. But as usual,

01:14:45her father finds out about everything, and the next day, Young decides to tell Ji-hwan and the gang

01:14:51that he is going to be a father and marry Mi-ho. Eon is shocked because she had no idea about Young

01:14:56and Mi-ho's relationship, and everyone is surprised. They sit down with Young, and he explains everything

01:15:02that happened. Eon then goes to Mi-ho to understand how their relationship developed so quickly. Mi-ho

01:15:08shares that her father caught them together, and they had to get married right away. Ji-hwan doesn't

01:15:12wait and takes Young directly to Mi-ho's house to propose. Ji-hwan tells Mi-ho's father that Young

01:15:18is like a brother to him, and he wants to apologize for what Young did, saying that Young is a good and

01:15:23respectful person who knows how to take care of a family. Mi-ho's mother is impressed by Ji-hwan

01:15:28and supports the marriage, but her father is angry at Young. However, Mi-ho's mother calms him down,

01:15:34saying that Young will fix his mistake. They eventually agree and sit down to have lunch together,

01:15:38discussing the details of the wedding. Ji-hwan ends up drinking to avoid upsetting Mi-ho's father,

01:15:44even though he doesn't drink usually, which causes him to get very drunk. Ji-hwan tries to regain

01:15:49control and takes him home, asking if he's upset that Young is the one depending on him to get

01:15:54married. Ji-hwan tells her that he's happy for Young to finally have a family he loves,

01:15:58and he's not upset at all. Eon, though, asks him if he's thinking about marriage, but Ji-hwan

01:16:03doesn't pick up on her hint, replying that it's still too early. Eon gets frustrated and leaves.

01:16:09Later, when Eon's YouTube channel hits 10,000 subscribers, she celebrates with the gang. They

01:16:15are all happy, but Ji-hwan, while celebrating with them, notices Eon ignoring him. She goes to meet

01:16:20Mi-ho and tells her what happened. Mi-ho teases her, asking if she wants Ji-hwan to marry her. Eon

01:16:26admits that even if he's not thinking about marriage, he should have told her something sweeter,

01:16:30to make her feel like he's eager to marry her, not just say that he's not thinking about it.

01:16:35Meanwhile, Ji-hwan talks to Young and tells him what's going on between him and Eon. He asks Young

01:16:40why Eon is upset, and Young suggests that when a girl brings up marriage, the guy should show his

01:16:46excitement and how much he wants to marry her so she doesn't feel neglected like Eon does. After that,

01:16:52Ji-hwan goes to Eon's office to work together, along with the officer in charge of the case,

01:16:57to catch Su-tai and his gang. Ji-hwan tells them everything he knows about the drug cartel,

01:17:02and who might be useful within it. Later, he buys a gift for Eon to apologize and heads home.

01:17:08He looks for Eon, but she's not there. He enters his room only to find her hiding there,

01:17:12trying to surprise him because she felt guilty for being harsh with him all day. She surprises him

01:17:17with a homemade cake, and he gives her the flowers he bought. He wanted to give her the necklace he bought

01:17:22for her, but he realizes he left it at the office and feels embarrassed. He decides to speak from the

01:17:27heart, telling her that he loves her deeply and will always stay by her side. She is pleased,

01:17:33and they make up. The next day, Ji-hwan goes to work, where Young informs him that someone saw two

01:17:38of the company's managers meeting with Su-tai and his gang. Su-tai's gang arrives at the company,

01:17:44and Ji-hwan, upon learning of this, rushes to the meeting spot. He tells his father to

01:17:49leave with his men. Su-tai tells Ji-hwan that he's come to take what's rightfully his.

01:17:54A fight breaks out between Ji-hwan's supporters and those who want to return to Su-tai's side.

01:18:00They start hitting each other, causing chaos until Ji-hwan shouts at everyone to stop and takes

01:18:05control of the situation. He orders his father and the other gang members to leave immediately,

01:18:10and they do. Ji-hwan then sits down with the traitorous managers and asks them why they made an

01:18:15agreement with his father. They admit that they were scared of his father's influence and

01:18:19power, and even though they don't like him, they obey him to avoid trouble. After Su-tai appears at

01:18:24the company, the workers start resigning because they fear Su-tai and his gang. Ji-hwan feels down

01:18:29and doesn't know how to fix this problem. Meanwhile, Eon is hosting an event with the children,

01:18:34and after it ends, she starts cleaning the garden. However, Yanji is watching her,

01:18:38waiting for the moment when she is alone, and orders his men to abduct her. Eon screams loudly,

01:18:44and because Young was there helping her earlier, he hears her and rushes to save her. One of Yanji's

01:18:50men hits Young hard on the head, causing him to bleed heavily and lose consciousness. The gang

01:18:55gets scared and quickly flees. Eon is left crying, unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, Young arrives at

01:19:00the scene and sees Eon crying while Young is bleeding. He rushes to help, angrily beating Yanji's

01:19:06men until the police arrive and arrest them all. They take Young to the hospital. Yanji lies to the police,

01:19:12claiming that Ji-hwan was almost killed by the beating. When Young wakes up and learns what

01:19:16happened, he rushes to the police station to explain everything. He tells the police that Yanji and his

01:19:21men were trying to kidnap Eon and that Ji-hwan had nothing to do with the assault. As a result, Ji-hwan

01:19:26is released from custody, but Young argues with him, saying he failed to protect Eon and that she could

01:19:32have been kidnapped or killed if Young hadn't been there. Ji-hwan feels deeply upset, as he knows Young is right.

01:19:38He leaves the police station to check on Eon, but sees his father outside. Eon, who had come to the

01:19:43station to check on him, runs to him when she sees him. Ji-hwan, fearing for her safety because of his

01:19:48father, lets go of her hand and pushes her away, telling her to leave. He then confronts his father,

01:19:54saying, I told you, no one changes. A thug will always be a thug. A killer will always be a killer.

01:20:00Stop pretending to be a reformed man. You'll never be an ordinary person. He leaves his father,

01:20:06feeling down and defeated. Later Ji-hwan goes back to his company and spends time alone,

01:20:11reminiscing about the time Eon looked at him in fear when he was beating Yanji. The next day,

01:20:15when he arrives at the company, Ji-hwan reassures his friend about Eon's safety and tells him they'll

01:20:20take her to Miho's house to keep her safe. Ji-hwan confesses to his friend that he's only seeking a

01:20:25normal life, to love like everyone else. His friend, however, tells him that he is not being greedy for

01:20:30this life. It's his right to live like everyone else, and he doesn't have to listen to those who

01:20:35say he can never change. He is strong enough to change the lives of others and save their future.

01:20:40Encouraged, Ji-hwan decides to move forward with his plan. He meets Kang, a man from the gang who

01:20:46could help them, and asks him to stop working for Sutai and to join him in legitimate work. Kang refuses,

01:20:52but Ji-hwan tells him to contact him if he changes his mind. Eon, staying at Miho's house,

01:20:57tries to think of ways to help Ji-hwan and his gang, since Ji-hwan's work is falling apart

01:21:03because of his father's actions. She contacts Gina and John, and they meet up. Eon tells them that

01:21:07she has an idea to help, and they agree to work together. Despite her jealousy over Ji-hwan's

01:21:12affection for Eon, Gina agrees to help and they go to Eon's studio to film. After they finish filming

01:21:18and prepare to leave, Ji-hwan arrives home and sees them. He misses Eon, but doesn't speak to her. He

01:21:23offers to take her home, but she is upset and asks why he's ignoring her. Didn't you say we're like

01:21:28family? Why would you ignore your own family? If you're going to leave me alone again, why did you

01:21:33even come into my life? She says. She tells him she doesn't want to feel safe without him and that

01:21:38he shouldn't keep trying to protect her from himself because he is the one person she feels safe with.

01:21:43Ji-hwan is moved and calms her down, promising that everything will be okay once all this is over.

01:21:48He admits that he can't forgive himself for putting her in harm's way and asks her to give him some

01:21:53time. He apologizes for showing her his dark side when he hurt someone. Eon reassures him that she

01:21:58will wait for him and will stay by his side. The next day, the videos they filmed start spreading

01:22:03widely, showcasing products, and people begin imitating them. As a result, the company's situation

01:22:10improves slightly, and the workers are happy again. However, Su-tai calls Ji-hwan and threatens him,

01:22:16saying that if Ji-hwan betrays him again and reports him to the authorities,

01:22:20there will be no forgiveness. Ji-hwan pleads with Su-tai to spare him and leave him alone,

01:22:26suggesting that Su-tai should take his place and do whatever he wants with it, but leave Ji-hwan in

01:22:31peace. At the same time, Kang is helping Ji-hwan and gives him access to the important files. Ji-hwan

01:22:37calls Hyun-woo and tells him that he will go get the files himself, quickly ending the call. Hyun-woo, anxious,

01:22:44alerts the authorities to try and save Ji-hwan. Ji-hwan arrives at the location of the files,

01:22:48only to find it's a trap set up by Kang and Su-tai. When he arrives, he sees Ji tied up and beaten,

01:22:54with his father waiting for him along with the files. Su-tai tells him that if Ji-hwan wants the

01:22:59files, he can take them. Ji-hwan demands that Su-tai release Ji, but Su-tai refuses, saying that if Ji-hwan

01:23:05wants to save him, he will have to fight and kill everyone. Ji-hwan remembers his childhood when his

01:23:10father forced him to become a thug and made him beat his own men. If he refused, they would beat

01:23:15him instead. Ji-hwan decides to save Ji, but he gets beaten badly. He tells his father that when he was

01:23:21a child, he feared him and obeyed his commands. But now, he no longer fears him and won't listen

01:23:26to him anymore. Su-tai becomes even more upset and orders his men to beat Ji-hwan. Meanwhile, Yan-ji,

01:23:32who has just been released from prison, goes to Su-tai's location. He tells Su-tai that he's been

01:23:37carrying him for so long, but now his son has betrayed him. He feels that Su-tai is still trying

01:23:42to bring Ji-hwan back into the gang as if he doesn't exist. Filled with anger and hatred, Yan-ji attempts

01:23:48to stab Su-tai, but Ji-hwan takes the stab in his place. Just then, Hyun-woo and the police arrive,

01:23:54arresting everyone, and take Ji and Ji-hwan to the hospital urgently. The whole gang is devastated when

01:23:59they learn what happened. They go to the hospital to wait for the operation to finish. The next day,

01:24:04the operation is completed, but Ji-hwan remains in a coma, and they are unsure when he will wake up.

01:24:09Yan stays by his side, encouraging the gang to keep working just as they did when Ji-hwan was with them,

01:24:15so that when he wakes up, everything will be ready. Mi-ho visits Yan to check on her and offer comfort,

01:24:21but Yan cries out of fear. A few days later, Ji-hwan finally wakes up, and Yan is overjoyed but still

01:24:27in disbelief. She cries, and he apologizes for making her worry and for causing her so much fear.

01:24:33When the gang finds out that Ji-hwan has woken up, they celebrate, and even Ji-hwan's father,

01:24:38upon hearing the news, decides to cooperate with the investigation and confess his crimes out of

01:24:43concern for his son. Ji-hwan later visits his father in prison, telling him that he knows he

01:24:49wasn't the son his father hoped for, and that his father wasn't the kind of father he wanted either.

01:24:54Su-tai replies that he no longer expects anything from him, and that he wants Ji-hwan to live freely,

01:25:00even saying that he should consider himself no longer his son.

01:25:04After some time, Mi-ho gives birth to a baby girl, and they celebrate her first week at Ji-hwan's

01:25:10house. Ji-hwan is touched when he sees Yan holding the baby, imagining that the child could be their

01:25:15daughter. He starts thinking about marrying Yan and starting a family. However, he overhears Yan telling

01:25:21Mi-ho's father that she isn't thinking about marriage because she is focused on her career.

01:25:26Her YouTube channel has gained over a million followers, and she wants to focus on opportunities

01:25:32that come with that success. Ji-hwan starts to wonder how he can approach Yan about marriage,

01:25:37and regrets not proposing earlier when she wanted to get married. He begins planning how to ask her.

01:25:42Later, they go on a double date, trying to impress the girls, but everything goes wrong,

01:25:47as their jokes are old and unfunny, causing the girls to leave quickly. Eventually, Ji-hwan plans a

01:25:53surprise for Yan and proposes to her, telling her that he wants to spend the rest of his life with

01:25:58her and never be apart. Yan of course agrees, feeling extremely happy and thanking him for

01:26:03being in her life. The gang celebrates with them and gives Yan a beautiful gift. Ji-hwan's friend

01:26:08Jin says that he wants to thank Yan for welcoming them and making them feel accepted like family.

01:26:13Yan is touched and tells them that they are indeed her family. Together they open a shelter for

01:26:18children under the name of Yan's channel and Ji-hwan's company. They play and care for the children,

01:26:24and everyone is happy. The series ends with a message asking viewers to like the video,
