Han Ji-yul's arrival in Huidong is immediately marred by misfortune. Attempting to enter his grandfather's house, he is wrongly accused of theft.

Ji-yul was greeted by the townsfolk with warmth and keen curiosity, a welcome that included An Ja-yeong, who appeared to be a constant companion.

Following a disheartening encounter at the precinct, Ji-yul erected a wall of coldness between himself and Ja-yeong—a decision he would soon find cause to regret.

Ji-yul found herself drawn to Ja-yeong, offering assistance with the care of a rescued dog. As their connection deepened, however, Lee Sang-hyeon felt a growing disquiet.

The lingering tension from the previous night hung between Sang-hyeon and Ja-yeong, a palpable awkwardness that needed to be addressed. He sought out Ja-yeong to clear the air, to unravel the unspoken words that had clouded their interactio…

At the town meeting, Ja-yeong finds himself unexpectedly drawn into the center of a simmering conflict. Meanwhile, Ji-yul seeks a resolution for a poignant plea made by an elderly man.

Ji-yul moved carefully around Ja-yeong, unsure how to begin a conversation after the startling news. Simultaneously, a boy burdened with grief sought him out for counsel.

Following a welcome respite during a sudden work excursion, Ji-yul and Ja-yeong returned home to discover unexpected guests from the city.

With each passing day, Ja-yeong finds herself increasingly distant from Ji-yul. The burgeoning request of a new housemate – a plea for assistance in rekindling a past romance – casts a widening shadow between them.

A growing certainty about his affection for Ja-yeoung presses on Ji-yul, a sense of dwindling time acutely felt. Meanwhile, Sang-hyeon receives the reply he has awaited for so long.

Under the guise of clandestine rendezvous, Ji-yul offers Ja-yeong a tour of his Seoul clinic.

The delay at work threatened to spoil Ja-yeong's long-awaited evening with Ji-yul, but she summoned her resolve and made a heartfelt announcement to everyone in the neighborhood.
