Chi Yeol is using his personal time to tutor Hae Yi, and the mothers are invading his privacy, but Chi Yeol still has to answer them politely because he is a teacher.

However, Haeng Seon barges in and starts taking all the blame on herself. Chi Yeol has to leave the meeting in the middle to get Haeng Seon out of there. Even if the meeting ends abruptly, some of the mothers side with Chi Yeol, but Sua’s mother is adamant about winning him over.

He thinks that the mothers are being unreasonable, and he is ready to drop out of the special program himself.
Sua’s father raises the suspicion that Chi Yeol must be in love with Haeng Seon, which is why he won’t stop tutoring Hae Yi. It reminds Sua’s mother that she had seen Haeng Seon in Chi Yeol’s apartment building once. She uses her connections to access CCTV recordings and finds out that Haeng Seon has been frequenting Chi Yeol’s place. She assumes they’ve been having an affair and writes a derogatory and demeaning post about them on a forum. The post goes viral, and it turns into a scandal. Even though Chi Yeol’s name isn’t directly mentioned, the public understands who the star math teacher is. Chi Yeol’s public image has been damaged, but he is more concerned about Haeng Seon and Hae Yi because the articles are framing Haeng Seon in a disgusting way. Moreover, a live streamer barges into Haeng Seon’s shop and exposes her face to the public. Haeng Seon’s brother gets scared and has to be hospitalized because of a panic attack. On the other hand, Hae Yi gets teased by boys at school in a shameful way, and to defend her, both Sun Jae and Geon Hu get into a fight with them.

As they spend a little time together, Chi Yeol realizes that he is falling for Haeng Seon more, which is not good for either of them. He gathers the courage to tell her that he will stop tutoring Hae Yi. He cannot stop his feelings if he keeps on seeing Haeng Seon’s face every day. However, he sends Hae Yi the remaining study material through his manager. Hae Yi thinks it’s all her fault that this is happening. She wants to reveal the truth to the world, but she is afraid of being called an orphan whose real parents have abandoned her. However, Chi Yeol and Haeng Seon continue living their lives as usual. Despite the scandal, parents have still lined up for his talk show, and Haeng Seon attends it without knowing he is the speaker. At the talk show, a woman asks Chi Yeol for an explanation of his scandal, but another woman stands up in support of him. She claims that Chi Yeol is not at fault, but the woman who threw herself at him is. Haeng Seon gets hurt and stands up to leave when Chi Yeol sees her. He had decided not to talk on this matter, but he confessed in front of everyone that he had a crush on her first and that she was not at fault at all. It is going to taint Chi Yeol’s public image more, but he doesn’t care when it comes to Haeng Seon.
Why Does Chi Yeol disappear?
After hearing Chi Yeol’s confession on the talk show, Haeng Seon is confused, and she is impatient to get the answers to all her questions. She asks Chi Yeol why he would take the blame on himself and if he really likes her. Chi Yeol takes this chance to confess his feelings to her. Haeng Seon is disturbed after the confession, but Yeong Ju is happy for her. She thinks that Chi Yeol’s feelings are genuine, so Haeng Seon should tell him the truth about Hae Yi. On the other hand, things have worsened for Chi Yeol. Parents have been canceling Chi Yeol’s classes, and students are protesting against him. The academy director asks him to take a break for two weeks, and he has already found his replacement. He is in contact with Song Jun Ho, Chi Yeol’s rival. Chi Yeol hasn’t taken a break in his career so far, and now that he has free time, he realizes that he has no one to talk to. Luckily, he runs into his college friend, Jeon.

Chi Yeol falls asleep after getting drunk, and Jeon calls Jae Woo from his phone to pick him up, which worries Haeng Seon. Chi Yeol also cannot let go of Haeng Seon’s thoughts and even dreams about her. He wants to get over her in any way possible, so he turns off his phone and disappears for a while. His manager is worried and frustrated and asks Haeng Seon if she knows where he is. Jae Woo also told Haeng Seon that Chi Yeol hadn’t been picking up his call, but she didn’t think he would disappear. Her business is blooming again after Chi Yeol takes all the blame, but she cannot concentrate. She remembers the camping site that Chi Yeol goes to when he wants to clear his mind and goes there looking for him. She finds him there and scolds him for disappearing without informing anyone. She takes him out for dinner at her mother’s previous restaurant, and that’s when Chi Yeol tells her how he knew her mother. He also lies to her that he mistook his feelings because he was grateful to her mother. After dropping Haeng Seon home, he cries on his way back, and Haeng Seon also cries in Yeong Ju’s arms, telling her that she likes Chi Yeol so much. Hae Yi watches it all happen.
