Although Yongsun ended up apologizing for ruining Moonbyul's attempt to please her with the surprise, things started getting weird and cold between the couple.

A couple of months later, the 22-year-old girl came home all happy saying that a man from a big company offered her a job.

The younger one asked what kind of job and Yongsun tried to change the subject by commenting that the payment would be so good that they could move from that miserable neighborhood to a decent place.
