However, Gang Woo, snaps back and seems unimpressed. Later, Eun Seong learns that Gang Woo was the runner-up in the competition. He is bitter over losing the coveted title to his rival.

Desperate to maintain his popularity, Eun Seong pleads for discretion, but Gang Woo only teases him. Finally, Gang Woo makes an offer.
