In Su dreams of a simple, ordinary marriage, but Ru Na harbors far greater ambitions, setting the two on quietly diverging paths.

Gyeong Min asks Ru Bi for another chance, but she firmly pushes him away, set on not wavering again. Yet the moment she turns away, her heart grows tangled. Though she thought it was over, lingering feelings keep resurfacing, leaving her confused about what she truly wants. Meanwhile, In Su finds a curious mole on the sole of Ru Na's foot.
