Chang-hee is still frustrated about Jeong A-reum, his senior who makes him angry. He hopes that either of them should get promoted so that he will get rid of her. His friends give him a fact-check that he hates her only because she is rich and Chang-hee is also greedy like her. Chang-hee doesn’t like that his friend called him greedy but he agrees that he will hate A-reum less if he becomes rich.

Mi-jeong notices a change in Gu’s mood and asks him to speak if he wants to. He tells her about a story where suicide survivors said that after jumping off a cliff when they crossed 2/3rd of the path, they felt that reason for their suicide was worthless. He had told this story to his ex-girlfriend to convince her to get therapy but she committed suicide instead. Gu laughs and says it was frustrating to see her act like a lunatic and he gives Mi-jeong a chance to stop worshipping if she wants to.
