However, the romantic atmosphere quickly shifts as the office team arrives to take Ji-hyeok for medical attention. An internal investigation into the fire begins, but Ji-hyeok’s manipulative half-sister, Ji-hye, frames the incident as a conspiracy led by the union, aiming to tarnish the company’s reputation.
Ji-hye’s machinations lead to Da-rim’s reassignment to customer care, where she faces complex complaints.

Despite Da-rim’s attempts to clarify the situation, she finds herself in a hostile environment, requiring rescue from her team.

During the confrontation, a pram carrying the woman’s baby rolls downhill, prompting Da-rim to act heroically, injuring herself in the process. The poster eventually apologizes and retracts her claims, revealing her motivations stemmed from resentment after being rejected for the TF team.
