we’re back in the present, with Min-chae talking to her grandmother as they do some light gardening. The young girl attempts to subtly bring up the contents of her mother’s diary during the course of this, and we see that the wedding rings allegedly sold during the IMF gold collection program are still in Jae-kyung’s possession. It riles up the adult Mee-do when she finds out this fact via text, and she states she feels awkward about the situation, even after all these years.
Soon, though, we transition back into the past, with the backdrop of 1998 flanked by a cycling Yi-jin. When there, we see the events at the end of the last episode shot from his perspective, evidently so that the young man’s tempered joy does not go unnoticed by the viewer. A humorous scene involving the broken peeing boy statue then follows, with Hee-do’s mother upset that the yin-yang balance in the household has now been thrown off.
However, there’s definitely still tension between the family of two. Hee-do appears tired and jealous at the attention given towards her celebrity mother on her first day at Tae Yang school and decides to sneak off for a toilet break. At that point, she eavesdrops on a conversation involving the popular Moon Ji-woong, an in-demand student who rejects a girl coldly, stating that he only needs fans. Shortly after, Ji-woong and Hee-do properly meet, with the former wanting to know whether the fencing prodigy plans on becoming friends with his crush, Yu-rim. They share a bit of admiration for the gold medalist, but it’s cut short by class president Ji Seung-wan, who is ready to give the new attendee the school tour.
It’s a short introduction to the building, though, with the art studio and science lab skimmed over (after all, Hee-do will barely be in class), and an understanding of where the bathroom and infirmary are already established. But there is a friendly piece of banter regarding where the cafeteria resides, so it’s reasonable to assume the two young women will grow closer as the show develops.
A new guy, 22 years old, named Baek Yi Jin, has moved into Hee Do’s neighborhood. He has started a part-time job even before he has finished moving into his new rental place. Earning money is his first priority. He delivers newspapers in the morning and works at the rental book store later in the day. He lives alone but has a family who all live apart, not by choice but because of the circumstances. His father’s business has gone bankrupt, and Yi Jin is now on his own.
Hee Do hardly attends her classes because she is on the fencing team and has to practice all the time. Her team has not won many matches, but they are hopeful. Hee Do is a fan of gold medalist fencer Ko Yu Rim, who is the same age as her. Her dream is to become Yu Rim’s rival in fencing. She sneaks into Yu Rim’s high school to secretly watch her practice every Saturday. That’s how much she admires her. However, Hee Do’s dream is crushed when her school abolishes the fencing team due to a lack of funding. The country is going through an economic crisis, and its effects are seen in every sector.
When all the doors close on Hee Do, the only ray of hope for her is to transfer to Taeyang High School, where Ko Yu Rim is enrolled. When she asks her mom to do that, she tells her to quit fencing as she is not good at it anymore. Hee Do’s mother has never helped her anyway, and this time as well, Hee Do has to help herself. She meets Yu Rim’s coach and begs her to get her on their team, but the coach refuses. Hee Do has still not given up. If all the right ways to get her in are not available, she is going to make her own way by doing the wrong things. She plans to get herself into trouble, which will force her to transfer to another school. She tries to physically assault a student, but as she has no idea about how to do it, it fails. She calls the police on a gang war, but instead of getting arrested as one of them, she becomes their victim. Hee Do is persistent, and she is not going to stop until she makes her big dream come true.
Yi Jin is doing two part-time jobs and is still looking for more. He doesn’t get a job as a floor cleaner because he is overqualified. Yi Jin is a second-year engineering dropout from Yonsei University. He was a top student in high school and also a chaebol (heir of a conglomerate). Everything was going well in his life until his father’s company went bankrupt due to the economic crisis. His father had to divorce his mom to keep them away from the debts. His parents have gone into hiding separately, and his younger brother lives with their aunt. He plans to take him to live with him when he has a stable job.
Hee Do is sitting with his friends at a nightclub when Yi Jin comes into their private room. She is a minor and has sneaked into the club to purposefully get caught so she can transfer to another school. His friends try to make Hee Do drink alcohol, but Yi Jin stops them. His friends call him a buzzkill and tell him to focus on his financial condition. Yi Jin and Hee Do have known each other due to the newspaper and comic book store, so Yi Jin leaves the club with her. He advises her to talk to her mom because it is a privilege that she has because of her age. She can ask her parents now what she wants from them.
Hee Do goes to the bookstore to meet Yi Jin, but he has already ended his shift. She gets his address from the shop owner, but when she reaches his place, she sees two men threatening Yi Jin. They are asking for his father’s address because they need money. He can feel their pain as he is going through the same. He cannot offer them money or consolation, but he promises them that he will never live happily after his family has caused sorrow to many families. However, he is already living a life of despair.
Hee Do’s mom finds out the clothes that Hee Do wore at the nightclub, hence exposing her. Hee Do tells her the truth and of her desperation to get into Taeyang High School. Her mom leaves but has understood her daughter’s wish. She transfers her to Taeyang High School without her knowing. Yi Jin’s advice to talk to her mother worked for Hee Do, and she is more than happy, though she had to win a few more challenges to win over the coach. This is just one step for her, and she still has a mountain to cross.
Yi Jin is surprised to see Hee Do at his door when he is in his most vulnerable state. Hee Do does not see him sad like that and takes him to her old school. She does her favorite activity of twisting the faucet upside down and turning it on, making it look like a fountain. Yi Jin finds it childish but soon joins her by turning on all of the faucets. They have to run away before the night guard catches them. They are laughing and enjoying themselves. Hee Do tells him that even though he has promised those people, he would never be happy, he can be happy around her, and she will keep it as their secret.
