Curtains part, and a luminous Jang-mi stands in a gorgeous frothy confection of a wedding dress, as Ki-tae's mother smiles at her approvingly. Jang-mi thinks to herself, "This person called my name like a flower" (jang-mi means "rose"). Ki-tae's mother says her name gently, and it echoes in Jang-mi's mind.
A few days prior, Ki-tae's mom deep-cleans her fridge and thinks about Ki-tae yelling that Jang-mi can't be left alone. Grandma asks if she's feeling all right, and Mom says that she thinks she lost and that Ki-tae is serious about marrying Jang-mi. Grandma asks what she's going to do, and Mom supposes that the marriage will happen.
A ringing phone wakes Jang-mi and she groggily answers, only to instantly wake when she realizes that she's answered Ki-tae's phone and it's his mother calling. Mom says that she must be at Ki-tae's house since she answered his phone, and that she's there and coming up. Now. Time to panic.
Ki-tae and Yeo-reum are spooning on the couch and awww, Little Spoon Ki-tae is smiling! Jang-mi shudders to see them snuggled up, and pokes the boys awake. Ki-tae shoves Yeo-reum to the floor and hugs himself in horror, but Yeo-reum only seems mildly surprised, thinking he was spooning with Jang-mi.
We see that last night when Ki-tae saw them on the couch together, he had carried Jang-mi to his bed. She must be a heavy sleeper because he just dumped her on the bed, but went back to cover her with the blanket. Sweet.
Yeo-reum accuses Ki-tae of being jealous, but Ki-tae insists he was just being chivalrous to let the woman use his bed. Yeo-reum fusses at him for not taking care of himself when he's sick, but Jang-mi breaks up the bromantic moment to tell them that Ki-tae's mother is here. There's a mad scramble as everyone runs in circles, and finally Ki-tae shoves Yeo-reum into his bedroom just as Mom comes in. She comments that they must be living together now, which Ki-tae runs with, earning a smack from Jang-mi.
Mom notices the mess from last night, and her sharp eyes don't miss the fact that there are three glasses on the table, which Ki-tae deftly explains is because one glass got dirty. Mom then wants to see the bedroom and luckily, Yeo-reum hears her coming in time to hide behind the bed.
Mom is here to see what furnishings the "newlyweds" will need, as she checks out the bedding and mattress. Ki-tae says that Jang-mi will handle all that, but Mom says she wants to do it for them. She returns Jang-mi's cell phone with an apology for yesterday and says that she's decided to stop being suspicious.
She calls Jang-mi informally by her name for the first time, and Jang-mi hears it in that weird echoing tone from the opening scene. She says, "Jang-mi, Gong Ki-tae...get married," and suggests this weekend for the families to formally meet. Shocked faces all around.
Later, Mom and Aunt Mi-jung talk in the car, where Mom assures Mi-jung that she's dead serious about Ki-tae and Jang-mi getting married. She says it's not up to her to decide if they get married, but to do her best for the marriage. Mi-jung quips that her best can be scary, and Mom says the scary thing will be if they actually get married.
Jang-mi is in shock, and Yeo-reum comments that Mom's blessing sounded more like a curse to him. Jang-mi appeals to Ki-tae to do something, worried about her parents if the families meet, and he just sighs that he understands. He doesn't want her parents to be hurt, either.
Later Ki-tae calls Jang-mi's mother to thank her for the samgetang, and she mentions that his mother already called her to schedule the parents' meeting. Ki-tae says uncomfortably that he wants to talk to her about that, and she offers to meet him at his office.
Yeo-reum sits with Ki-tae and thanks him for ending things with Jang-mi now. A prickly Ki-tae asks what it has to do with him, and Yeo-reum says that now he can date her openly. Ki-tae bristles even more, and Yeo-reum seems to take pleasure in detailing all the couple-y things he plans to do with Jang-mi and watching Ki-tae get flustered. In fact, he calls Jang-mi right in front of Ki-tae to ask her to a movie this weekend, since she'll be free by then.
