Eunsang looked at his face so close to hers, feeling hesitant and afraid, but she looked firmly into his eyes and answered briefly and firmly, "Yes."

Just one word extinguished the faint spark that had just ignited in Choi Young-do's eyes.

"I see."

Ou Yangguang didn't show much change in expression here, but his eyes dimmed instantly, and tears welled up in them.

His jawline tightened, then he paused, calmed himself, and said with a slight smile, "Don't touch these shoes. If you fish them out, I'll get my revenge."

After speaking, he turned and left. His head was bowed as he walked away, his dejected and hurt expression a stark contrast to his usual arrogant demeanor. This moved countless viewers, who exclaimed, "We feel so sorry for Young-do!"

The next day, Choi Young-do played a prank by the pool, tripping Cha Eun-sang. He grabbed her but then let go, causing her to fall into the pool. Kim Tan then kicked Choi Young-do into the pool.

It's just that one can't help but sigh, Choi Young-do, you really don't know how to love!

She made the wrong choices time and time again, pushing Cha Eun-sang towards Kim Tan time and time again, giving Kim Tan the chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.

After the training camp ended and they returned to school, the media reported on the merger and alliance between RS International and Zeus Hotel. Many students were watching the drama unfold between Choi Young-do and Yoo Rachel, since they were about to become step-siblings.

While Kim Tan was comforting Yoo Rachel, Cha Eun-sang happened to pass by on the rooftop and saw this scene.

At the same time, Choi Young-do appeared next to Cha Eun-sang and said to her, "If you're envious, do you want me to hug you for him?"

"What about you? Are you okay?" Cha Eun-sang asked him with concern.

"What?" Choi Young-do was somewhat surprised, his expression stunned.

"Isn't what's in the news your business too?"

"I really hope you're okay. I've been thinking about it, and you're only eighteen years old."

Listening to Cha Eun-sang's comforting words, his gaze towards her deepened, as if he wanted to capture her completely.

These words seemed to penetrate Choi Young-do's heart as she uttered them, causing him a heart-wrenching ache, a feeling of softness mixed with a dense, persistent pain.

What excited and sparked the most discussion among viewers was the scene at the end of episode eleven, where the three confronted each other on the crosswalk in the middle of the road.

Because Kim Tan pulled Eun Sang into the room to ask him what he had talked about with Young Do, just then, Ki Ae walked in and witnessed the scene, and Eun Sang had no choice but to leave Kim Tan's house.

At a convenience store early in the morning, Choi Young-do "bumps into" Eun-sang, who has nowhere to go. He casually asks her why she isn't staying at Kim Tan's house, and then "naturally" they go to school together. On the way, they encounter Kim Tan rushing over.

As Choi Young-do forcefully put his arm around Cha Eun-sang and walked towards the other side, Kim Tan also walked towards them.

Three people stood on the narrow sidewalk, the atmosphere heavy with tension.

Kim Tan desperately tries to grab Eun Sang to explain, while Eun Sang struggles with inner turmoil.

Choi Young-do stood to the side, like a silent guardian, or a judge awaiting the outcome.

His gaze darted between Eun-sang and Kim Tan, his eyes filled with a complex mix of nervousness, anticipation, and a hint of unease at the fear of losing them.

Finally, Eun-sang forcefully pulled her hand away from Kim Tan's grasp, tears welling in her eyes, her voice trembling with despair: "I can't hold on any longer."

These words, like a final verdict, crushed Kim Tan and also caused Choi Young-do's pupils to tremble slightly.

The camera finally focuses on the three people locked in a stalemate, leaving behind endless suspense and sighs.

At the MMA awards ceremony, EXO won the grand prize with "Growl". While the members were moved to tears, discussions about episodes 11 and 12 of "The Heirs" were also exploding on social media.
