Ji-Won keeps eating the food. He’s full. His life becomes colorful after he ran into Hee-Jin. He thinks she’s a treasure girl. He wants to make contact with her. They pass by the sculpture she carved. He stands next to the sculpture and he takes off his coat. He poses and he asks her if he’s like the sculpture.

Hee-Jin mistakes Ji-Won has a girlfriend. She gets a call from the creditor Jae-Yeol. She hangs up for avoiding him.
But he appears behind her. He asks her to accompany her to take class. He tells her to transcribe the notes for compensating him. She does it and she’s tired to lie in the bed. She knows she needs to continue to transcribe the notes for him. She thinks she doesn’t have any hope.
She plans to ask her father for some money. But she hears the landlord calling her father. The lady asks for increasing the rent. She has to be a part-timer at the Youth Art Exhibition. She’s interested in the work of art “Destiny”. She’s the artist J’s fan.
The man A-Rang talks with Hee-Jin. He asks her about what she thinks to the work. She tells her insights. He’s satisfied with her answer. He invites her to drink coffee together after being off duty. She comes to the coffee shop. She accepted his invitation since she just saw him one time.
She’s apprehensive. But she likes handsome guys. She sees his good looking face again. She forgets her reserve. He introduces himself to her. They talk about the artist J then. She’s excited to share that J is going to give a speech at her school. She will attend it no matter what happens. A-Rang asks for Hee-Jin’s number before he says goodbye to her.
Hee-Jin lies in the bed. She keeps remembering A-Rang’s beauty. She has an illusion that the guy takes out a big diamond ring and he asks her to date him. She tries to agree to it. But Jae-Yeol takes his followers to show up. He asks her to compensate him. Hee-Jin wakes up from her nightmare. She transfers 200,000 won to Jae-Yeol. She needs to pay 1800,000 won. She swears to pay it off.
The next day, Hee-Jin comes to the school. She sees Ji-Won carrying a girl in wheelchair out of the car. She mistakes the girl for Ji-Won’s fist love. Ji-Won leaves. The girl Hye-Won moves forward on her own. She trips. Hee-Jin goes to help Hye-Won. She carries her back to the wheelchair.
Ji-Won comes back. He thanks Hee-Jin. She’s told that the girl is his sister. Hye-Won likes her brother very much. She wants to be an important person of him. Hee-Jin says goodbye to the brother and the sister. She goes to transcribe notes for Jae-Yeol.
Jae-Yeol sees the mud on Hee-Jin’s clothes. He takes off his clothes and he puts it on her. He thinks she’s dirty. But he cares for her. Hee-Jin leaves the classroom after the class. She runs into her best friend Bo-Bae in the lobby. Bo-Bae asks Hee-Jin to take the arm wrap back. Hee-Jin just wears the arm wrap. Jae-Yeol shows up. He sees the arm wrap. He mistakes that she was hurt. He feels regret that she cannot transcribe the notes. She smiles and she pretends to be a wounded person. He’s tricked.
Jae-Yeol is changed when he takes part in the mural painting activity with Hee-Jin. He grabs it no matter she wants to paint or take something. He tells her that she needs to recover. She’s not happy. She wants to let him know that she wasn’t hurt. But she worries that he will throw a fit to her after he knows the truth. She notes that he’s going to fall from the chair. She supports him from his back. He stares at her wounded hand. He realizes that he was fooled. She has to take over the tool. She completes the work on her own.
Hee-Jin runs into Ji-Won in the hallway. She complains it to him that she owes Jae-Yeol one million eight hundred thousand won. She doesn’t know when she will pay it off. Ji-Won wants to tell Hee-Jin that he can pay off the debt for her. But she sees the advertising on the wall.
The school is going to hold a Hercules trial. The prize for the first place is a new tablet. Hee-Jin is excited to take Ji-Won to the scene of the match. He doubts her strength. After all, she looks tall and thin. She’s not a powerful girl.
But Hee-Jin’s friends have faith in Hee-Jin. They tell Ji-Won that Hee-Jin is a famous Hercules in sculpture department. Other boys were out of breath when they carried a bag of cement. Hee-Jin could carry three bags of cement.
It’s Hee-Jin’s turn. She steps back and she hits the boxing ring. She defeats all players and she gets the first place. She gets the prize and she gives it to Jae-Yeol. She has paid off the money and she doesn’t need to transcribe notes. She resolves the problem. She’s happy to leave with Ji-Won.
Jae-Yeol looks at their backs. He’s very sad. What he wants isn’t the tablet. He just made an excuse to approach Hee-Jin. He doesn’t want to cut ties with the girl in such a way. He has dinner with his friends. He sends a message to Hee-Jin. He thanks her for helping him transcribe notes.
Hee-Jin is gathering with Ji-Won and her two friends. She sees Jae-Yeol’s message. She doesn’t reply to him. Her friend Kot-Nim takes her phone. She sees the latest contacts. The contacts are Jae-Yeol and A-Rang. Kot-Nim is told that the two are very handsome. She’s interested in them.
Hee-Jin describes that Jae-Yeol is like electrolyte drink. A good looking face subverts her understanding to beauty. But they won’t see each other. Kot-Nim asks Hee-Jin about her feelings to A-Rang. Hee-Jin thinks the guy is like caffeine. But Ji-Won thinks the guy is flippant because he bought the girl coffee after he just met her for the first time. He wants to tell the three girls that he’s a handsome guy as well. He thinks he can be Hee-Jin’s boyfriend. But the girls still talk about Jae-Yeol and A-Rang.
Jae-Yeol is staring at the tablet. He doesn’t get message from Hee-Jin. He’s upset and he worries that he will cut ties with the girl. The next day, he runs into her at the coffee shop. She pretends not to know him. She leaves the shop without greeting him.
He cannot stand it. He runs out of the coffee shop and he asks her why she didn’t reply to him. She points out that she has paid off the debt. She thinks they don’t have a reason to see each other. He’s angry to tell her that he’s very happy because he doesn’t have to see her.
But he misses her when he takes class. There’re many Hee-Jin appearing. He’s joyful and he tries to talk with her. But what waits for him is the cold reality. He realizes that he cannot lose her. He rushes out of the classroom. Meanwhile, Hee-Jin and Ji-Won are attending J’s lecture. Hee-Jin is excited when she thinks about that she’s going to see her idol. She cannot control her excitement.
The curtain opens. The sculptor appears. Hee-Jin is surprised that the sculptor is A-Rang. He takes a walk with her on the campus after the lecture. Ji-Won follows them. He’s left out. He looks at A-Rang who takes off the petal for Hee-Jin. He’s not happy. Jae-Yeol calls Hee-Jin at this time. He walks to her and he confesses his feelings to her.

Ji-Won cannot avoid his fate as long as he’s gentle. I wish him to change himself. So Hee-Jin will be interested in him.
Jae-Yeol is a boy who likes Hee-Jin as well. Hee-Jin broke his tablet in episode 1. He asks her to compensate him. It’s reasonable to compensate something after you break it.
