## Summary

Heeyeon Shin enters the practice room and sees Seojun sitting by himself on the floor. After greeting each other, Seojun apologizes for using the practice room and offers to leave. She reassures him that he can wait in the cafe for Jihyuk Jeong and the others.

Meanwhile in class, Jugyeong sulks as she checks her phone, upset that Seojun has not contacted her. Impatiently, she contemplates on calling him to ask where he is. Reminding herself that he is hanging out with friends and should not be disturbed, she manages to restrain herself. After the class ends, she receives a call from Seojun, who tells her he is outside the school building. Pleasantly surprised, Jugyeong rushes outside and sees Seojun waiting for her. Seojun explains that his friends invited him to stay for dinner, but he wants to eat with her instead. He suggests eating rice cakes, knowing that Jugyeong likes spice. Remembering that he does not like spicy food, however, she proposes to eat at fried chicken.

At home, Jugyeong removes her makeup and changes into her pajamas. She flops onto her bed and decides to check Seojun's Nstagram profile. Noticing a comment from Heeyeon, Jugyeong becomes quickly aggravated and begins to peruse through his posts, examining their interactions in the comments. She clicks into Heeyeon's profile and is horrified to see how pretty she is. Scrolling through the posts, Jugyeong realizes that Heeyeon and Seojun have been acquainted for years and wonders if Heeyeon is his ex-girlfriend.

The next day, Jugyeong shows up to Jessie's photoshoot with dark circles under her eyes, having not slept well. As Jessie fusses over Jugyeong's ragged appearance, Jugyeong decides to put on concealer. In the hallway, she bumps into Seojun, who cheerfully greets her. Oblivious to her inner turmoil, he suggests to get coffee together after her photoshoot is over.

At Odiya Coffee, Seojun blissfully smiles at Jugyeong and reaches over to touch her face, asking why she looks so tired. Jugyeong quickly jerks her face away, laughing weakly. Unable to stop herself, Jugyeong asks for his opinion on a hypothetical situation where a guy in a relationship has frequent comments on social media from a close female friend. Completely clueless, Seojun tells her that it should not matter because the friendship is purely platonic. If the female friend has feelings for the guy, however, he should cut her out of the picture. Noticing that Jugyeong seems too tired to eat dinner, Seojun decides to take her home early.

Later in his apartment, Seojun mulls over Jugyeong's strange behavior and wonders if he did anything to upset her. He then receives a text from Yeongbin inviting him once again to dinner. Knowing that he missed the last dinner outing, Seojun decides to make an appearance.

     He meets up with Jihyuk, Yeongbin, and Yeonjun at Itaewon Beast. As they pore over the menus, Heeyeon shows up with several other friends and sits next to Seojun.

Meanwhile, Jugyeong sits at home, still conflicted over Seojun's friendship with Heeyeon. Knowing that Seojun is out with friends again, she wonders if Heeyeon is with him. Trying to convince herself that she is overthinking things, Jugyeong checks Nstagram and becomes appalled at what she sees.
