Dara woke up not realizing she drifted off to sleep on the sofa last night. She felt refreshed and looked forward to doing a lot of cleaning, both inside her apartment and her life. In-young called her and asked her if she wanted the gifts brought to her apartment. She wondered what In-young meant. Then In-young decided to do a video call to show her more than half of In-young's office filled with flowers and gifts. 


In-young: It's both from fans and the general public alike. Guess you got the sympathy vote, have you seen the comments online?


Dara: I wouldn't dare


In-young: Well, they're mostly positive, seems like even the haters softened up


Dara: Good.


In-young: I don't know how you had the courage to speak up yesterday but I guess it's for the best. The boss is  busy with damage control for the Junghyun issue while you can pick your projects from now on. I just got a list of your offers.


Dara: Already?


In-young: Yup, so please take plenty of rest, you will need it.


Dara: Let me drop by the office first. I want to take a picture with the flowers and gifts to post it on social media.


In-young: Oh okay, great idea. 


Dara: And unnie, can you take the rest of your day off?


In-young: Me? Why? 


Dara: We're celebrating!


Minyong was smiling like silly at his phone. Donghae thought it was just a funny meme but then he found out later it was a picture of Dara. She was smiling in a sea of bouquets and gifts. She looked really happy. 


Minyong: Read the comments, they said maybe the mystery guy is making her happy these days


Donghae: I'm glad they blurred my face


Minyong: It's against the law, you're a private citizen


Donghae: Not so private it seems, they even got a picture of her outside our apartment building.


Minyong: Well if you want to trade places, I won't mind


Donghae: (just laughed at the comment) Let's get back to work.


Dara and In-young went to a restaurant when they got done with shopping.


Dara: Unnie, where do you want to go next?


In-young: Wow, I didn't realize we are going somewhere else.


Dara: Yes of course, we used to do this every weekend, I don't even remember when they stopped.

In-young: I don't think I need to remind you why 


Dara: (trying hard to remember) Oh, yeah now I  remember, it was the first of the many scandals. Reporters were hounding me, trying to get an interview about how I felt.


In-young: And you've kept quiet all this time, what changed?


Dara: Aside from the baby that is about to be born?


In-young: I just thought there was more to this mystery guy than I know about


Dara: He's someone I've just met, we hang out, we talk on the phone. I like him a lot but I don't know how far I'm willing to get involved


In-young: Yeah, it might not be a good idea


Dara: Why not? 


In-young: Oh wait, I thought you weren't too sure if you even want to get involved


Dara: I don't know, maybe I won't, maybe I will, the only thing I know is that I've never felt like this for a long time


In-young: I just want you to be careful.


Dara: I know unnie, I may have not said it before but I really appreciate you for being there for me all these years. I've always known you mean well.


In-young: You're welcome, and Dara if this guy is responsible for the change I see in you, I like him already.


Dara: No, he's not. I think I've always been capable of being like this. I don't necessarily need someone else to change me for the better.


In-young: I'm impressed.


Donghae wondered why he didn't even bother to answer Minyong earlier about wanting to switch. Maybe deep inside he was jealous. Donghae's phone rang, it was his mom.


Donghae's mom: Adeul, your sister tells me she saw you in one of the websites she frequents. I didn't want to believe it but we all recognized the clothes you were wearing. Are you dating an actress?


Donghae: Ma, it's not like that.


Donghae's mom: So what were all those pictures then? 


Donghae: (sighing) It's too complicated to explain Ma. We're just friends, and even if I want us t
