After the Accidental Kiss, Da Reum and Ha Gi Grow Closer
Episode 7 picked up right after the accidental kiss between Da Reum and Ha Gi at the end of Episode 6. Ha Gi walked Da Reum home after the incident. Da Reum assumed Ha Gi did not care about the kiss because he called it an accident and told her to forget it. At home, she could not stop thinking about how it was her first kiss.
The next day, Da Reum got stuck in an elevator with Ha Gi and other staff members. A co-worker noticed cat hair on both their coats, which made things awkward. Later, Da Reum went to a pet store and ran into Ha Gi. They bought toys and treats for their cats together. Ha Gi awkwardly asked her to hang out. Da Reum noticed how flustered he became and realized he was also embarrassed about the kiss. She started teasing him about it.
Da Reum opened up to Ha Gi about the person she has liked for a long time. She told him the relationship was not what she imagined. Ha Gi gave her thoughtful advice. He told her to think about whether the relationship helps her become more herself. He reminded her to choose someone who makes her feel like herself, not someone who tries to change her.
At home, Ha Gi felt embarrassed for assuming Da Reum had a crush on him. He asked his AI chatbot for advice about the situation. He realized he might be closer to Da Reum than the man she has liked for years because of how often they interact.
Lee Chan Shows His Romantic Side and Makes a Big Offer
Lee Chan continued to show his romantic feelings for Da Reum in Episode 7. He took her to a clothing store and bought her several new outfits. Da Reum felt uncomfortable in the clothes because they did not match her usual style. Chan insisted she looked better in them.
Chan told Da Reum about his new movie. He revealed that he would be filming in Los Angeles. He asked her to join a fashion school there so they could be together during filming. The offer was a chance for Da Reum to stay close to the star she had admired for years while pursuing her professional dreams.
Da Reum gave Chan a handmade leather card holder as a gift. She noticed the difference between her handmade present and his expensive gifts. Later that night, she thought about Chan’s proposal. She absentmindedly made a sketch of Ha Gi’s cats and started thinking about him instead.
Da Reum Rejects Chan and Chooses to Stay True to Herself
Da Reum went on a date with Chan at a private restaurant. Chan talked about his dream of working in Hollywood and his desire to move to LA. He brought up their upcoming trip.
This time, Da Reum was honest with him. She told Chan she could not continue seeing him because she likes him as an idol, not as a romantic partner. She explained that she wanted to remain an Appello employee and his fan.
Chan tried to hide his disappointment after she rejected his offer. Later, when he saw Da Reum smiling brightly beside Ha Gi, he felt unsettled by their closeness. Chan already knew Ha Gi was interested in Da Reum. He began carefully questioning Ha Gi about how he saw her. This marked the beginning of a more direct rivalry between the two men.
Ha Gi Decides to Confess, But a Scandal Changes Everything
Ha Gi was also reconsidering his silence after Chan challenged him. After reflecting on his feelings, Ha Gi decided to tell Da Reum the truth. He met her and spent the day visiting restaurants and playing a claw machine game. The day started to feel like a real date.
Ha Gi’s simple attempts at flirting left Da Reum increasingly affected by him. As the mood became more intimate, Ha Gi told her he had enjoyed even the simplest parts of their time together.
“I liked talking to you, even when there was no particular reason.”
He then tried to speak not as Appello’s CEO, but simply as Kang Ha Gi. However, before he could finish his confession, rumors broke that Nam Da Reum and Lee Chan were dating. The news left Ha Gi shocked.
Dating Scandal Rocks Appello and Puts Da Reum in Danger
The dating rumor started after photos secretly taken while Da Reum and Chan were on a past date were released. This came after Da Reum had gathered the courage to reject Chan’s feelings.
The scandal threw Da Reum’s relationship with Ha Gi into turmoil. It also shook her position at the company. Da Reum tried desperately to explain everything to Ha Gi. But consumed by disappointment and a feeling of betrayal, he refused to believe her explanations.
Things got worse when a rumor spread that Da Reum was a sasaeng fan (an obsessive fan who stalks celebrities). This led to calls for a boycott of Appello. Newly released photos from the upcoming episode show the Appello headquarters surrounded by a large crowd. Numerous funeral wreaths cover the area. In the middle of the chaos, Da Reum looks completely lost, her head bowed deeply. Her longtime friend Lee Seul Ah (Kim Ah Young) tries to protect her, but she cannot keep the crowd away. Da Reum plans to submit her resignation and leave Appello and Ha Gi to resolve the situation herself.
