Episode 3 begins with Ahn and Han at the police station with the thief. We come to know that the thief is Ju-ho’s friend (Gi-taek) and is a resident of Maejong.

He reveals that he would stop after 200,000 won, and he did it to buy a gift for his girlfriend.

They took the appropriate measures, but things got heated up when the women’s association members came. 

Choi Se-ryun didn’t leave any chance to have her go at the Gi-taek’s mother since she is one of her staunch rivals from Maejong town. 

Se-ryun even requested Dr Han to punish Gi-taek; however, he declined as nothing was missing from his house.

Seeing his kind gesture, the thief’s mother insisted he shift to Maejong. The conversation soon moves to Han finding his love in one of the two towns, which erupts in a fight between the two parties.

Irritated by all this, Han stops them by saying that he already has a girlfriend and has no plans of settling down before storming off the police station.

Ahn follows him outside and asks him why he hates the town. He tells her he hates Huidong, has no fond memories, and just wants to have some boundaries.

The scene shifts to Sang-hyeon and Ahn talking about their memories at the cafe. Ahn mentions about not reminding her time in Huidong. However, the former manages to brighten her mood.

Han visits the cafe and meets Ahn, who is there to help work at the plantation. Han gets involved in working with Ahn on the plantation, but she continues to tease him in a friendly way.

 Ahn had a good laugh and told him to rely on her till his stay in Huidong.

After work, Han reveals that he came to meet Sang-hyeon about his grandfather’s truck as he didn’t want to ask Ahn to avoid misunderstanding.
