Hwa Yeong confidently declared, "It's not done yet! Watch and learn, little girl." The Program chimed in, explaining, "Every time you see a couple in love, you become Bora. That is your trigger." Aera, puzzled, responded, "Couple?? Wait..." She recalled her surroundings before becoming Bora and clarified, "No, it's not a couple. It's every time I see something that reminds me of my Jang Woo."

Hwa Yeong, with a sly wink, admitted, "Your Jang Woo?!" Aera confirmed, "Yeah, my one and only man. My Jang Woo. But seriously, how did you find out??" Hwa Yeong proudly shared, "My greatest power in espionage... Being observant." Aera, feeling uneasy, remarked, "Wait, this is more reason to stay away from you."

Hwa Yeong, surprised, questioned, "What?? Why??" Aera explained, "You and Baek Haneul. You guys remind me of me and Jang Woo. Wait, should I do therapy? No, I can't. What should I do?" Hwa Yeong reassured her, saying, "Aera, look at me! Don't freak, ok. We'll get through this together." Aera, still anxious, confessed, "That's comforting and all... but together is what is scary."

As Haneul entered the room, Aera rolled her eyes and prepared to leave. Haneul apologized, "Wait! I'm sorry!" Aera dismissed her, saying, "See you later, bestie." Hwa Yeong, trying to mediate, suggested, "But you have to hear me out. How about I be your therapist??" She then noticed Haneul and added, "Oh! Hi, hun. I think she already forgot about that."

Aera, holding a grudge, retorted, "Forgot?! I hold grudges Yeongshi... I need to be alone now, bye." Hwa Yeong, feeling the sting, exclaimed, "Ouch! Honey, what are you doing here?" Haneul, eager to learn more, inquired, "Well, I want to know more about this Aera or Bora... Tell me everything!"

Hwa Yeong proceeded to explain everything to Haneul, from Aera to Bora, omitting how Aera transformed into Bora. Haneul, realizing the impact of her actions, lamented, "So, Aera had a boyfriend... I should have never told her that I'd find someone good for her... I think I hurt her really bad... And this Bora, how do we get rid of her?"

Hwa Yeong, surprised by the revelation, asked, "Wait, you know Jang Woo?" Haneul confirmed, "Yeah, I know... wait! Jang Woo, how do you know him? Did he pop up on some file?" Hwa Yeong clarified, "No, I never knew him. I know his name because Aera told me. He is Aera's boyfriend... Her one and only man." Haneul, alarmed, questioned, "So, she was the one I was looking for?!" Hwa Yeong, taken aback, asked, "What do you mean looking for her? Do you want to kill her?"

Haneul urgently replied, "No! I just have to tell her some stuff. Do you have any idea where she might be?" Hwa Yeong, a bit defensively, retorted, "How would I know?" She thought to herself, "Am I jealous?"


Haneul pressed on, saying, "You're her bestie... I thought you would know." Just as the conversation got more intense, a knock on the door interrupted them. Bora entered, casually remarking, "Why do I smell jealousy?"


Hwa Yeong, surprised, exclaimed, "Aera, you came back???" Bora corrected her, stating, "Aera??? No, no, I am Bora."
