Meanwhile, Han Ji Woo, a young chef, gets a rather peculiar customer first thing in the morning. The unexpected customer shows up again later that evening.
The CEO of Seo Jun’s agency puts him up in a house that he owns to stay out of sight from the reporters. Seo Jun becomes temporary housemates with Ji Woo, who doesn’t seem to like him at all. However, Seo Jun keeps trying to befriend him.
While Seo Jun and Ji Woo get to know one another a bit better over some drinks, someone throws a rock at the window. Seeing how panicked Seo Jun gets from this incident, Ji Woo keeps it a secret that Seo Jun is inside. Seo Jun lets down his guard and reveals his vulnerable side to Ji Woo.
Seo Jun shows up at the restaurant where Ji Woo works and ends up working there as a part-timer. Ji Woo must teach him everything from the basics throughout the busy workday, but Seo Jun seems to enjoy being there. After the day is over, Seo Jun takes Ji Woo to his favorite spot and suggests they get closer.
Seo Jun and Ji Woo start shooting a cooking video of how to make gimbap. They go on a picnic and have the gimbap with Pil Hyun and Ho Min. Pil Hyun is worried that someone might see Seo Jun in an open space. Ji Woo finds out how Seo Jun was abandoned by his parents.
After witnessing Seo Jun kiss Ji Woo, Pil Hyun starts to worry about Seo Jun. Ji Woo feels confused, and awkward to face Seo Jun. Meanwhile, Seul tells Seo Jun that In Woo and his agency are going to distribute articles against Seo Jun. Seul persuades Seo Jun to take any action to turn the table.
Ji Woo refuses to believe it when Seo Jun confesses his feelings, but Seo Jun doesn’t give up. Meanwhile, In Woo visits Seo Jun and pleads with him not to reveal the truth. However, some video footage gets out to the press, and Seo Jun’s name is finally cleared. Seo Jun’s agency celebrates the occasion and Pil Hyun’s birthday, but Ji Woo comes home looking serious.
