Part 5/9:
Personal Growth and Challenges
The plot takes a turn as Jang-hyuk gets a job opportunity in Seoul that threatens his budding romance with Da-eun. The long commute complicates their lives, resulting in less time together and more strain on their relationship. Amidst professional challenges—especially with his new, competitive coworker Bo-yeong—Jang-hyuk finds himself working late and missing important moments with Da-eun.
As their relationship progresses, both find themselves caught in a professional and personal tug-of-war. Da-eun feels neglected, and Jang-hyuk becomes increasingly absorbed in work pressures, leading to misunderstandings and a series of careless arguments that jeopardize their bond.
