Hyun-yul easily beats them and warms them to stay away from his group. However, it turns out that Yun-yul was part of a gang and the leader is after him because he thinks Hyun-yul backstabbed him.
The band has officially formed and everyone announces their new name. They get prepared for the festival and the entire school cheers them on.

Eun-gyeol concludes that the accident happened to Yi-chan and so he tries every possible thing to stop him.

Cheong-ah also asks her about the decision and says that she should choose Eun-gyeol. She walks up to Eun-gyeol to talk to him and notices that he has very low spice tolerance which annoys her.
The day before the rehearsal, Eun-gyeol urges Yi-chan to not go there. But Yi-chan does not listen to him and says that he will go to the rehearsal. However, Eun-gyeol has no other option but to take help from Se-kyung. He asks her to bring him to a secluded location so that he is not able to go to the rehearsal. However, Se-kyung agrees to help in exchange for the reason why he wants Yi-chan away from the rehearsal and to go to watch movies the next day.
Yi-chan wakes up to a call from Se-kyung who asks her to travel to an island. But when he reaches there he finds out that Se-kyung is not there and Eun-gyeol appears instead. He decides to leave the place and go to the rehearsal instead. But En-gyeol begs him to stay and reveals the truth about him being from the future. He also reveals that Y-chan is his father.
But Yi-chan does not believe a word he says and decides to go back to school. But Eun-gyeol threatens him to jump off the cliff if he leaves and ultimately does so when Yi-chan refuses to listen to him. Yi-chan sees him jumping and follows him instantly into the water to save him. He manages to bring Eun-gyeol up to the shore. He then decides to listen to Eun-gyeol to stay on the island which makes Eun-gyeol sob furiously in Yi-chan’s arms.
The both of them reach their house but Eun-gyeol leaves because he has a date with Se-kyung. But Eun-gyeol and his band members decide to go to school as they find out who the security guard is.
