Minjoo is genuinely happy that she had clear some misunderstanding between her and Chaewon but she remembers that her parents aren't quite ecstatic knowing that her daughter isn't in the top two anymore. Truthfully, having to put up with their expectations burdens Minjoo. She just wants to be free and do what she wanted to do and not what she's told to do.
