The previous day, Do Guk was obsessing over hair. She thus realised that Do Guk might have already planned it. Since it was from a site that gets paid to publish articles, it would be tough to kill it.
Do Guk gets a call from his mother, who is appalled by his act, knowing full well that he published the article. Despite the public now aware of his affair, his mother still refused to give her blessings for the marriage.
Yoo Ra throws a tantrum in the house because her father agreed to Yi Joo’s marriage. Her only consolation is when Mrs Lee tells her that Do Guk’s mother disapproves of the wedding, and unless he has her approval, the marriage will not happen.
She even tries to win over her husband by saying that the Taeja family has members in the financial department. If Yi Joo gets married against Do Guk’s parents’ approval, it might cause the Taeja group to retaliate by stopping their acquisition of a bank.
Yi Joo enters the living room to face all her family members discussing her marriage. Mrs Lee insists on setting a date for family introductions, knowing that Do Guk’s family still doesn’t support the union. Yi Joo promises to take care of it. Yoo Ra is still unconsolable but takes comfort in her mother’s confidence in her ability to stop the marriage.
Yi Joo is chauffeured to Do Guk’s house for a date by his assistant, who is also his brother-in-law. He seems to have remembered Yi Joo from somewhere but couldn’t remember from where.

Yi Joo adds that they would only move forward if they had their family’s blessing, and considering Yi Joo only has a year, she decided to annul their marriage in a year.
They decide to make Do Guk’s house the base camp for their future actions. He had set up the house to suit her needs and gave her the house keys.
