Following the kiss, Ji-ung takes Mi-jin back home and asks about revealing their relationship to everyone. This shocks Mi-jin, and Ji-ung tells her she cannot deny their relationship after two kisses, leaving Mi-jin flustered. She tells him to keep it a secret until things are alright, hiding her condition and hoping to find a solution one day.

Ji-ung understands that something is bothering her and assures her that he will always protect her, which means that she can lean on him when she is in trouble. Mi-jin smiles at his words and soon heads inside her house where she finds out that her father has overheard her conversation with Ji-ung. She tells him to keep it a secret from her mother but soon feels bad about the troubles that he has to face very soon.

Ko Won understands but doesn’t mind her not having any feelings for him, instead, he tells her that he just to tell her about his feelings. With this, he tells her to stop feeling uncomfortable and avoiding him while she runs away. Later, Ji-ung goes out for dinner with Byung-duk and he is annoyed by him smiling the whole time while texting Mi-jin.

Elsewhere, Mi-jin remembers that she has left her phone at work and rushes there to get it back, while worried that it may reveal her secret. She soon arrives at work while Ji-ung also enters right behind her. Mi-jin gets her phone but hears Ji-ung’s voice which makes her hide. She somehow manages to get out of the office behind his back but ends up getting caught by her when leaving the building.

Ji-ung is surprised to see Mi-jin and assumes that she is here to meet him; taking her to his office. Byung-duk arrives soon after and the two are shocked when they notice how Mi-jin knows her way around the office. The time soon passes by and Mi-jin leaves while Ji-ung assures to wait for her to come around with her secrets.

The next day, Ji-ung meets Chul-kyu who is impressed by the amount of data he has collected. While he continues to refuse to say anything, he asks to meet Lim Sun and tells her that even if he agrees to accept her bizarre statements from last time, how would she go about catching the criminal?

She tells him that she smelt something last time and describes it while assuring him that this can help them find the culprit. With this, Chul-kyu finally hands over the information Ji-ung wanted for this case, which leaves Ji-ung confused. Lim Sun tells him that she has risked her life for this which only confuses him further, but he goes ahead conducting his investigation.

Meanwhile, Mal-tae gets the information he had been looking for and approaches Ji-ung to tell him about Chul-kyu having Parkinson’s. This flips the case in Ji-ung’s eyes as he confirms it and goes to his senior to tell him that Chul-kyu cannot be the culprit in this case. This angers him and he tells Ji-ung that he will not be working on this alone.

Upon going back to work, Ji-ung sees Cheon-hee waiting for him to tell him that she will be working on this case with him. Lim Sun sees the two from inside the office and Byung-duk tells her about Cheon-hee’s crush on him and her efforts in wooing Ji-ung. Lim Sun eyes the two for the rest of the day while letting her anger bubble inside as she sees the two working so closely.

Later at home, she cannot stop wondering about the two and texts Ji-ung only to find out that he will be working all night. Meanwhile, Cheon-hee tells Ji-ung that this will be the last case she will be handling here before returning to Seoul and asks Ji-ung to return with her. However, Ji-ung flatly rejects her idea and tells her that he wants to continue living a life in this place.

Later, Mi-jin receives Ji-ung’s call who asks her to meet and after not much deliberation, she accepts his idea and heads out soon after. After a brief moment of smiles upon seeing each other, Ji-ung suggests meeting for lunch but Mi-jin rejects the idea and asks to meet at a later time. This leaves Ji-ung confused as he asks Lim Sun about Mi-jin’s profession the next day.

Lim Sun is stunned and is unable to say much which only increases his doubts. She then lets out that Mi-jin will be meeting Ga-young over the weekend. During the weekend, Byung-duk arrives at Ji-ung’s house to prepare a feast while he continues to wonder about Mi-jin’s profession.

Meanwhile, the girls are having some drinks during which Mi-jin worries over her relationship when suddenly she gets up to use the washroom. However, she begins looking for her phone before making her way there.

Right then, Byung-duk arrives at the door and Ga-young opens the door. However, it is seeing the dish he has prepared himself which he has brought to share with them, that leaves her struck by Cupid’s arrow. Disregarding Mi-jin’s request to send him away soon, she welcomes him inside and begins eating and talking.

Meanwhile, Mi-jin is in pain inside the room and finally decides to get out to rush to the washroom; interrupting the duo’s heated moment. Byung-duk then returns to Ji-ung and talks about Ga-young instead of the work he was sent for, leaving Ji-ung annoyed. However, he reveals that Lim Sun was at home which turns the dials in Ji-ung’s head.

He then asks for the CCTV footage from near Mi-jin’s home and is shocked to see Lim Sun leaving Mi-jin’s house. Meanwhile, Chul-kyu thinks about the scent Lim Sun is talking about when he suddenly realises who the culprit is. The next day, Lim Sun continues to interrupt Ji-ung and Cheon-hee’s time together when she suddenly spots Ko Won following someone.

She follows him only to find a letter stating that someone is hiding a secret in the office, addressed to the chief. This makes her think about her situation as she begins to follow the traces to figure out who sent this message. Upon reaching the place where it came from, she is shocked to find out that the person the letter was talking about is not her but someone else.

This episode takes the mysteries to another level as Ji-ung is forced to work overtime- untangling the mysteries surrounding the murder and the mysteries surrounding his girlfriend. The plot is really thickening up but is also moving towards a remarkable end as we slowly see the culprit’s identity being revealed.

While is it sure to be a shocker here on, it is also going to show the worth of this show that goes beyond the fantasy tag attached to it. Altogether, the plot is only going to go uphill from her as we see the culprit being revealed as well as Ji-ung’s feelings on Mi-jin’s condition. Will he be able to accept her despite the secret hidden? Will Mi-jin be able to come clear in front of her family and Ji-ung?
