In the chilly atmosphere, the two warmed up with affectionate skinship, revealing their affection for each other. However, throughout their date, Kim Ji-woong mentioned 'O-sinda', which hurt Kim Ha-yeon's feelings.
Meanwhile, Lee Jeong-won felt an undeniable attraction to O-sinda. However, Lee Jeong-won's hidden feelings towards the musical actress Oh Seung-yeon were revealed, creating another twist.
