| ShortSummary = Ha-kyung sends Si-woo on an assignment to the Jeju island Typhoon Center. Si-woo clearly shows displeasures but then agrees with a smile. Meanwhile, Ki-jun tells Yu-jin not to leave for a "break," or it will be over between them. She sticks to her decision and leaves the apartment. Um Dong-han is happy to see his daughter Bo-mi at work while Um Dong-han's wife looks at a petition for a divorce. Later on, Bo-mi has an allergic reaction and collapses in the bathroom. She ends up at the hospital, and the wife berates Um Dong-han for giving their daughter processed meat at the cafeteria. Si-woo meets Ha-kyung, and she tells him they should try and make it work. However, the next day, Ha-kyung learns that Si-woo has left for Jeju island, and she's devastated. She blames Ki-jun for all this, she believes if it weren't for the wounds he created, she would not have sent Si-woo away.
