Ki-tae, his grandmother, and his aunt sit in the living room looking nervous as Jang-mi and Mom have an epic stare-down. Jang-mi asks Mom, "Does this really have special meaning for you, Mother?" Mom swears that it (whatever "it" is) is very special and should be treated as precious. Suddenly Jang-mi grabs a huge rock, raises it over her head, and smashes it down onto the table as Ki-tae's entire family looks on in horror.
A few days earlier, we rejoin Ki-tae and Jang-mi mid-kiss. Jang-mi looks startled when Ki-tae swoops in, but soon her eyes flutter closed.
Having gone for help, Yeo-reum finds Hoon-dong drunk and alone in his room and tries to wake him, and Hoon-dong suddenly sits up and grabs Yeo-reum for a long passionate kiss. HAHA. Yeo-reum manages to flail his way out of it, and carries Hoon-dong outside to dunk him in a barrel of freezing water.
Yeo-reum fills Hoon-dong in regarding Hyun-hee's disappearance on the way back to the stuck car, but Hoon-dong is slow to understand why Hyun-hee is at a temple and why he should care. Yeo-reum gets to the car in time to witness the kiss, and can only stand stunned until Hoon-dong's loud voice causes Ki-tae and Jang-mi to jump apart. It's pretty obvious to everyone that Yeo-reum saw the kiss, though nobody says a word about it.
Hoon-dong finds Hyun-hee praying at the temple, and starts a weak apology. Hyun-hee says that this "gift" may be unexpected, but it's still precious, and offers Hoon-dong one chance to bail if he wants. Shockingly, Hoon-dong instead hugs Hyun-hee and cries that he's sorry for her, that it had to be someone like him.
Hyun-hee sobs that she's scared, and Hoon-dong promises to take care of her, and I actually believe that his tears are genuine. But Hoon-dong is still Hoon-dong, and their embrace changes tone quickly and he starts to take their clothes off. At least until they're busted by a monk.
Back at work, Jang-mi and Hyun-hee can't help but be distracted, and their manager takes them to task. Hyun-hee is all smiles as she tells Jang-mi that she'll be quitting soon to get married, and Hoon-dong will be speaking to his mother soon. But Jang-mi has met Hoon-dong's mother and knows it won't be that easy.
Cut to: Hoon-dong on the street outside his house in only his socks and tiger boxers. HAHAHA. Poor Hoon-dong, I don't think those half-assed martial arts moves are fooling any of the passers-by.
Hoon-dong's mom beelines for the department store to confront Hyun-hee, who innocently greets her. Jang-mi rushes over to shield her friend and takes the brunt of Mom's anger, who calls her a stalker and accuses Hyun-hee of trapping her son on purpose. The scene draws a crowd, and Hyun-hee and Hoon-dong's mother both leave. The manager warns Jang-mi not to bring personal issues to work again or there will be consequences.
Hoon-dong's and Ki-tae's mothers discuss the situation. Hoon-dong's mother is furious that Jang-mi lost out with her son then went after his friend, then sicced her friend on her baby boy. Well, I guess it does sound bad if you say it like that. Ki-tae's mother advises her to do what she's doing - aggressively plan the wedding, and the girl's true motivations will come out.
Hoon-dong happily tells Hyun-hee that his family wants to meet her parents to talk about their wedding, but Hyun-hee says her parents are on a cruise for a few months and aren't available. She says she's always been independent and her parents would probably want her to do this on her own, but combined with her shifty expression, this makes me feel this is just more lies from her.
Jang-mi, who's been sitting with them, gets up to leave but comes face-to-face with Ki-tae walking into the restaurant. He looks thrilled to see her, but she reels in horror and runs back to the table. Ki-tae joins them and she pops back up and flees, telling Yeo-reum she'll wait outside for him to finish his shift.
