Moreover, the reason why Park Bo-young couldn’ t help but hate herself was revealed.

Yumi Ji succeeded in persuading Kim Ro Sa(played by Won Mi Kyung)and her legal representative, Lee Ho Soo(played by Park Jin Young), to arrange a meeting with the company.

Yumi-ji, who entered the house with the door open, saw the collapsed Kim Ro-sa and her grandmother Kang Wol-soon(played by Cha Mi-kyung), who collapsed a long time ago, and fell into a panic.

Kim Ro-sa was admitted to the hospital with the help of Lee Ho-su, who arrived just in time, but Yu Mi-ji was still haunted by memories of the past that she could not forget no matter how hard she tried, which was heartbreaking.

Meanwhile, Yumiji’s dark past, which had always been bright even when she was lonely and sad, was slowly revealed.Three years after giving up track and field due to an injury, Yumiji was locked in her room in despair.

Because she had parted ways with what she thought was her only path in life so quickly, she was afraid to even dream of a new future.Every time, her grandmother Kang Wol-soon would hold her granddaughter’s hand and comfort Yumiji’s heart by saying, “Anything you do to live is brave.”

However, when Kang Wol-soon, who was Yumiji’s only support, collapsed, Yumiji fell into even greater despair.Yumiji, who overcame her fear and went out the door with the goal of saving her grandmother, called for help, but could not hear an answer from anywhere.The guilt that her grandmother could not receive timely treatment because she had cut herself off from the world continued to weigh heavily on Yumiji’s heart even as time passed.

At this, Yumiji began to blame herself to Lee Hosu, like an older sister blaming her younger sibling.Lee Hosu, who had been listening to this silently, firmly took Yumiji’s side, saying, “It’s not Miji’s fault.” Yumiji’s subtle gaze as she stared at Lee Hosu’s face, who was telling someone the words she most wanted to hear, was deeply moving.

Yumi-ji, who had calmed down her emotions thanks to Lee Ho-soo’s comfort, asked Lee Ho-soo why he took Yumi-ji’s side.Lee Ho-soo surprised Yumi-ji by casually saying, “Because I like you,” and then making a bombshell confession, “You know, Mi-ji is my first love.”
