A strained encounter unfolds between Do Kyung-soo and his father, followed by a similarly awkward meeting with Yu Rachel and her mother. The exchange lacks warmth, leaving a palpable sense of unease. Meanwhile, Cha Eun-sang is deeply affect…

Eun-sang accepted Tan’s invitation to spend the night at his opulent beachfront home, only to find Rachel there, announcing herself as Tan’s fiancée.

The summons came from Seoul, and Tan traveled, but found not welcome. His brother Won greeted him with displeasure. Soon after, Tan and Eun-sang were stranded, adrift in a desolate expanse.

They were on the same flight back to Seoul. Irritated to find Yeong-do awaiting her, Rachel provoked him with talk of Tan.

A tremor ran through Tan as the news settled – Won had left. The arrangement, orchestrated by his father, felt like a fresh affront to everything Won held dear.

A tense reunion unfolded between Rachel and Yeong-do. Rachel, viewing Tan’s reserve as a deliberate slight, was incensed by Eun-sang’s enrollment at their school.

She watched him, a subtle warning in her eyes, yet tasked Eun-sang with his care, a clear demarcation of their positions.

Won observed Hyeon-ju exiting a vehicle belonging to another.

The simmering tension between Tan and Yeong-do finally erupted, yet Rachel directed her frustration at Eun-sang.

Tan offered a hesitant apology to Yeong-do’s father, a gesture that ultimately deepened the chasm between them. He cautioned Yeong-do, urging him to shield their families from the escalating conflict, a desperate attempt to preserve some se…

She stood before him, a silent challenge in her gaze. The unspoken tension between them hung heavy in the air, a familiar weight she was weary of bearing. She wanted them to cease their conflict, to find resolution without involving her. No…

Yeong-do attempted to soothe Eun-sang, while the other students began to wonder if his affection might be genuine.

A revelation sparked a shared fury, a bitter understanding between them. On Yeong-do, an unforeseen turn of events unfolded. Elsewhere, Tan and Eun-sang sought refuge for the night at a friend’s home.

The situation had spiraled, drawing Eun-sang back into the fray. Because of Rachel, she found herself compelled to sift through refuse. The conflict between the two sides had escalated, bringing them to a breaking point. Eun-sang was once …

The news arrived with a quiet gravity, summoning Won and Yeong-do’s father to the school. They were informed of their children’s rankings: Tan secured the hundredth position, while Yeong-do held the ninety-eighth.

Having borne witness to the fierce struggles over his grandfather’s legacy, Won finds little reason to attempt understanding Tan. Won’s father meets Eun-sang. He doesn’t see the point in trying to understand Tan.

He stood there, a figure of quiet intensity, absorbing the scene before him. A wave of relief washed over him, mingled with a profound sense of peace. Eun-sang was safe. The weight that had pressed upon his soul lifted, replaced by an overw…

Won found Tan at Yeong-do, his condition visibly worsened. He attempted to reason with him, seeking an explanation for his distress.

Won found himself facing a familiar yet unsettling prospect: a marriage orchestrated by his father. The implications for the company weighed heavily on both of them as he and Tan discussed the terms of this arrangement, considering how it w…

The question hung in the air, unspoken yet heavy: why? Tan sought an answer to Won’s impending sacrifice, a justification for the burden he was about to bear. But Won merely offered a stoic reply – a duty fulfilled, a necessity for the grea…
