Doctors continues to do well in the ratings-game with episode two rising to 14.2%.

Chapter 2

Hye-jung walks down the corridors of her new high school as the principal guides her to the teacher's office while complaining out loud that Hye-jung is a troublemaker. She thinks to herself that living carelessly is the same as abusing yourself, and after a while, that abuse becomes entertaining. Hye-jung spots Ji-hong smiling at a bouquet of flowers, and she narrates that she wished he wasn't her homeroom teacher. But life never gives her what she wants.

We return to the cliffhanger from episode one with Hye-jung prepping herself right as Ji-hong swings a rod down. She thinks to herself that even in this moment as she carelessly lives her life, a deep, remote part of heart keeps asking how long she'll live this way.

Ji-hong stops right before hitting Hye-jung since there's no point doing something he hates most in the world to a person who doesn't even want it. Hye-jung notes the fact that hechose not to hit her so, technically, she's already completed her punishment.

Ji-hong scoffs at her and asks why she isn't working with "granny" when she clearly has a knack for negotiations. Hye-jung takes issue with the term "granny," but when Ji-hong argues that she has no right to suddenly act like a granddaughter, she tells him that it's a birth-given right since they're family. Her words suddenly trigger a memory for Ji-hong.

In flashback, little Ji-hong sang in the back of a car with his parents when a truck rammed into their car and flipped it over. Barely conscious, little Ji-hong stared out of the window pleading for help at the two tow truck drivers standing outside. Despite the wreckage and his family dying at that very moment, the men only argued with one another about who should get this job.

Ji-hong: "People are self-centered. More than another's death, their lives come first. That's how I learned about people, and lost my family."

With the punishment over, Hye-jung excuses herself, and Soon-hee rushes up to her. She reintroduces herself as "Yoo-ra," but Hye-jung dryly comments that her nameplate says "Chun Soon-hee."

Undeterred, Soon-hee clings to Hye-jung's arm and talks nonstop about her life. Hye-jung tries to push her away, asking if she's a lesbian. Soon-hee doesn't understand what she means, so Hye-jung spells it out for her: "Do you like girls?"

Soon-hee gasps that she does like girls, but then wonders aloud if there are girls who don't like other girls. Hye-jung is caught off guard by Soon-hee's innocence, and offhandedly calls Soon-hee "sort of cute." Soon-hee positively beams and follows Hye-jung like a duckling.

Grandma is meeting with Myung-hoon (Seo-woo's father), and asks him for stronger medication. He tells her that she needs to have a check-up, but when Grandma asks how much it would cost, he ignores her to answer a call from his father.

As Hye-jung leaves school at the end of the day, Soo-chul waits by the gate with his motorcycle. Unfortunately for him, Hye-jung isn't charmed and tells Soo-chul to stop being clingy.

Soon-hee ditches Seo-woo to catch up to Hye-jung, and she asks Hye-jung if she's not going to buy a uniform. Hye-jung asks if there's a secondhand store, and Seo-woo happily chirps about a place to get a free uniform.
