The two stand in the rain, and Hye-jin looks away, after hearing Doo-shik say nothing happened that night they were together. She excuses herself and walks off, leaving him standing alone in the rain under her umbrella.
Mi-sun comes home to find Hye-jin sitting alone in the dark, looking dejected. Hye-jin is sure Doo-shik remembers their kiss but is pretending not to, and Mi-sun says that must be the reason why Hye-jin’s so down. Does she like Doo-shik? Hye-jin doesn’t give an answer and instead vows never to get involved with Doo-shik again.
Doo-shik tries to focus on a book, but the passage that catches his eye is about a first kiss and he puts it down. He sets Hye-jin’s umbrella outside to dry, looking troubled all the while.
The next morning, Hye-jin puts her sparkly heels away and stops to get coffee. Doo-shik is working the counter, but something about his cheery, too familiar manner seems to bother her.
A distraction comes by in the form of Joo-ri and Chun-jae arguing about Joo-ri’s recent poor grades. Joo-ri and Doo-shik believe it’s important to find your purpose in life, while Chun-jae and Hye-jin think Joo-ri should focus on good grades and going to college.
Hye-jin changes the subject to her coffee order–and requests that Chun-jae make her coffee, not Doo-shik (she ignores Joo-ri’s urgent warning that her dad’s coffee is awful lol). Doo-shik takes that in and clocks out without a word. Once he’s outside he mutters to himself, “So she remembers.”
Hye-jin completes her examination of Hwa-jung and the good news is that her issue isn’t severe. Relieved, Hwa-jung says she’s glad that she decided to rent out the clinic space to Hye-jin. She marvels that this all started because Doo-shik gave Hye-jin her restaurant’s slippers.
