Caught in sudden heavy rain after work, Lin has no umbrella — so Jihoon runs through the rain to buy her one.
Seeing Jihoon soaked in the rain, Lin can no longer hide her feelings and confesses the truth under the umbrella.
With the misunderstanding cleared up, the two walk along the glittering Cheonggyecheon stream and Jihoon confesses properly.
Now secretly dating, the two exchange winks in the break room and sweet snacks and notes on sticky notes.
Lin is promoted to full associate after being honored as employee of the year, and revisits the goshiwon alley with Jihoon.
