Han Seol-ah confirmed through a private meeting with CEO Baek Joon-beom, who is a prime suspect in the murders of her former lovers, that he was close friends with her ex-boyfriend Lee Soo-ho. When she asked whether he had approached her to avenge his friend, Baek Joon-beom said his attraction stemmed from curiosity, but Han Seol-ah suspected there was another truth behind his words.
In particular, Han Seol-ah thought Baek Joon-beom's methods were too extreme to be explained simply as revenge. Besides her as the target, there would be no need to plan the murder of the head of the relief organization with whom he had a close relationship. After hearing Han Seol-ah's words, Cha Woo-seok (played by Wi Ha-jun) judged that there must be something more than an ordinary relationship between Lee Soo-ho and Baek Joon-beom and decided to analyze the DNA information of the two.
Han Seol-ah and Cha Woo-seok were constantly looking for an opportunity to obtain Baek Joon-beom's DNA, whom they met again at the VIP preview exhibition. Then, after Baek Joon-beom took a sip of champagne, he suddenly showed symptoms of respiratory distress, and Cha Woo-seok, who obtained the syringe Han Seol-ah used while giving first aid, immediately left to request a blood analysis.
At the same time, Han Seol-ah reached the suspicion that Baek Joon-beom might actually be Lee Soo-ho based on the allergic reaction he had, the emergency treatment she instinctively performed, and the stories she had heard from him about Lee Soo-ho. Han Seol-ah went to find Baek Joon-beom and opened with, "Don't you have something you really want to tell me?" and Baek Joon-beom, as if he had been waiting, took Han Seol-ah to a private, intimate space.
Led by Baek Joon-beom to an unfamiliar place, Han Seol-ah saw a two-story house in the woods, a yard, birch trees, and a swing, and recalled conversations she had long ago with Lee Soo-ho. Only then did she become certain that Baek Joon-beom and Lee Soo-ho were the same person, and she called out to Baek Joon-beom, "Soo-ho."
Hearing his name, Baek Joon-beom turned around with reddened eyes and a faint smile at one corner of his mouth, and Han Seol-ah, who saw Lee Soo-ho's face superimposed on him, was overcome with panic. Baek Joon-beom's madness exploded as he forced his love while even giving up himself because of a twisted desire to have Han Seol-ah, and it eventually escalated into a dangerous and intense physical struggle.
At the same time, Cha Woo-seok, who confirmed that Baek Joon-beom's and Lee Soo-ho's DNA were identical, entered Baek Joon-beom's house and was shocked to see a blackboard containing everything about Han Seol-ah. Seeing clear signs of stalking, Cha Woo-seok hurriedly called the police, and the officers, realizing it was a crisis, also set out to find Han Seol-ah and Baek Joon-beom together.
When Cha Woo-seok arrived where Han Seol-ah and Baek Joon-beom were, he found Baek Joon-beom collapsed in blood and Han Seol-ah standing beside him. Han Seol-ah, with blood smeared on her face and in a panic, burst into tears as soon as she saw Cha Woo-seok, evoking pity. People are curious about what could have happened between Han Seol-ah and Baek Joon-beom and what the full story is.
