## Summary

Sang-Chul and Meg are wandering around the venue, with Meg looking for Kousuke. She says they are just going in circles, but he assures her they are not. He checks his phone, and sees the time is 9:24PM. Meg apologizes to him, and asks him to give her some facts about Kousuke.

While Shin-Ae is talking with Yeong-Gi, she begins to feel strange. Yeong-Gi asks if she is okay, and she says she is having a 'random dizzy spell'. He decides to find somewhere to sit, and tells her he will inform Alyssa.

While they sit at the bar, Yeong-Gi remarks on what a coincidence it is that the person he is seeing and her were middle school buddies. He asks if they were good friends, she says they got along well before she had to leave. She thinks that it is technically the truth until Alyssa had a 'change in heart'. He asks if something happened between the two girls. He says she seemed troubled when talking to her earlier.

Shin-Ae wonders how he could tell, and wonders if he was 'banking on someone pulling Alyssa away from us?' She decides she is just overthinking.

Yeong-Gi says that she was holding her jacket over her chest like a shield. She thinks to herself that it was 'because of Alyssa's assets', referencing Alyssa's suddenly large chest. She says she tends to do that when she is uncomfortable, and that it was the 'breast' thing she could do. She realizes her Freudian slip, and curses. She corrects herself loudly as 'best thing! I meant best thing! Damn it!" He says no worries that he was also surprised by the change, and recommends keeping her eyes at the same level or staring at her eyebrows. Shin-Ae is surprised and asks if Yeong-Gi doesn't like her breasts, considering she is his girlfriend. He gets uncomfortable and she tells him he has breasts too. He corrects her by saying he has pectorals, and she says so does she. He realizes she is messing with him, and she smiles.

She changes the topic, and asks how he and Alyssa met. He says he met her freshman year of high school, while he was sitting with Dieter and Soushi at a chicken joint. At one point Soushi remarked that Alyssa was 'kinda cute'. He said that he saw her sitting by herself at a neighboring cafe. Shin-Ae interrupts the story, and guesses that he walked up to her and offered his friendship and phone number. He says not exactly, but yeah.

She thinks to herself that he and Alyssa met similarly to how he met her. She thinks he is really friendly, but then wonders if he is actually just a flirt. She thinks to herself that she can never tell what's up with him, and that she can better understand Kousuke, regardless of is harsh words.

She then says that at some point he must have asked her to be his girlfriend. He says that actually Alyssa brought it up at some point, and since they got along as friends and no one was against it, why not.

Alyssa then rejoins them, and he tells her that he was telling Shin-Ae how he and her met. She jokingly asks if he told Shin-Ae how much he creeped her out at first. He says that he should rethink his approach so he creeps out fewer people. Alyssa says that he is adorable, 'like a kid that eventually grows on you!'

While the three are talking, Kousuke spots them sitting at the bar. He interrupts and asks Alyssa if he can borrow her boyfriend. Shin-Ae panics remembering that she was supposed to meet him by the piano. She feels bad and thinks to herself that she needs to apologize yet again.

Alyssa and Shin-Ae begin to talk. The conversation is awkward and Alyssa orders two amaretto sours from the bartender, who happens to be the same bartender from the Hirahara Party. He asks for ID's, and Alyssa assumes he should recognize her.

Gun Kim arrives and tells the bartender to give the girls their drinks. He introduces himself to Shin-Ae, and compliments her hair and outfit.

Kousuke talks to Yeong-Gi, telling him he needs to limit his interactions with Shin-Ae. He says that even though Nol and Alyssa are not public, he does not want a scandal to break out, and tells him their father would not be pleased. Kousuke says that if Nol wants to follow in their father's footsteps, he should 'pick something other than become another skirt-chaser'. Yeong-Gi tells Kousuke that he is talking as if he views Shin-Ae more than a friend. He tells Kousuke that he is only seeking something platonic. Kousuke tells him to stay by Alyssa's side. Yeong-Gi agrees, saying that Kousuke should do a better job at making Shin-Ae feel better. He tells Kousuke that he does not know his motives to get close to Shin-Ae, but it better not be shady. Kousuke asks what he means by 'getting close to her'. Yeong-Gi says he saw him dancing with her, and that she didn't look too comfortable, and that he must have prioritized something other than her comfort. Kousuke says that his is surprised Yeong-Gi didn't interrupt their dance. He asks Nol why, and Nol leaves.
