Ki Hwan was finishing up an email to his professor with that week's report from Seong Min, signed by Ji Hu. Ki Hwan did hear someone approach the desks where the interns sat, but he wasn't paying much attention to who was there. It was Ji Ah who lifted her head, "Can I help you?" She asked.

"I'm here to see Mr. Jeong."

"Oh, I'm sorry, but Mr. Jeong isn't in right now. He took his break for the afternoon." Ji Ah said.

Ki Hwan lifted his head up to see who was speaking.

"Then I'd like to see Ms. Noh."

Ki Hwan stood up from his desk. "May I ask why you'd like to see Mrs. Noh?" Ki Hwan asked. They were told that if anyone wanted to see Ji Hu, they had to go through Seong Min first, Ms. Shin second, and Mr. Jeong third (if he was around). But right now, Ki Hwan could sense that the woman before them knew Ji Hu personally.

"Mrs. Noh has asked for no visitors today,"

"I don't care."

Ki Hwan placed his hand on Yeon Woo's shoulder. "Excuse me a moment, can you give me your name? I'll tell Mrs. Noh that you're here." Ki Hwan.

"Jin Ga Young."

"Please wait a moment." Ki Hwan was going over the heads of Ms. Shin and Seong Min. They were currently in a meeting together, going over the statements that would be posted within the hour. Ki Hwan made his way to Ji Hu's office. He knocked gently, opening the door to find Ji Hu on a phone call. She held up one finger, making Ki Hwan remain quiet until she finished with the call. "Ji Hu, you have a visitor."

"I told you; I will not be seeing anyone today."

"She's not giving us an option." Ki Hwan turned sideways, guesturing his head out the large window. "She says her name is Ms. Jin Ga Young, Ji Hu." Ji Hu stood up from her desk, seeing who was standing in the office.

Ji Hu held back her eye roll. She didn't want to deal with Star Jin this afternoon, but it looked like she had something to say. "Send her in."

"Are you sure?"

"She's a... colleague of Gu Won and Mr. Park's. Send her in." Ji Hu said as Ki Hwan nodded. She walked over to the windows, closing the blinds to give her and Star Jin privacy. Ji Hu didn't need Gu Won to see them speaking right now. Ji Hu walked over to her seating area, her back to her door when it opened once again for Star Jin. "Please seat." Ji Hu could hear Star Jin's words echo in her head from the hospital.

She walked across the room to where Ji Hu sat. Star Jin sat across from her. Ji Hu rested her arm on the arm of the chair, looking at Star Jin, "I would offer you a drink, but I have a feeling you aren't here for pleasantries. Please tell me why you are here, Ms. Jin." Ji Hu said.

"Stop taking advantage of Director Jeong and let him go." She ordered.

Ji Hu knew that was coming. "Ms. Jin, I hate to break it to you, but we need each other right now." Ji Hu said.

"Each other?" Star Jin echoed. Ji Hu couldn't stop her eyes from rolling. "You mean you need him." Clearly Star Jin had no idea what she was talking about when it came to the relationship between Ji Hu and Gu Won. "You're leading him around by the nose, exploiting his weakness. He almost died because of you. Just how selfish are you going to be?" She asked.
