After leaving People’s, Ji-yoon found herself adjusting to unemployment. She slept in late, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation. Yoo Eun-ho playfully woke her up, teasing her about her newfound free time. Ji-Yoon, wrapped in a blanket, protested, but Eun-ho laughed and asked, “Already? It’s 10 o’clock.”
She smiled, saying, “I never knew resting could feel this good.” Eun-ho jokingly replied, “So, are you just going to keep sleeping?” They lay on the bed together, and he casually called her by name.

A Victory Over Injustice

Ji-yoon remained calm, responding, “No, I just feel sorry for you. You’re still trapped in resentment.” She continued, “I no longer use hatred as my motivation.” She then told Kim Hye-jin to take responsibility for her actions and to live with a sincere heart.
