In the twelfth episode that night, when faced with Kim Tan's request to continue their relationship, Cha Eun-sang finally took Kim Tan's outstretched hand and painfully let go.
"We've come far enough, let's not go any further."
After Cha Eun-sang left the two of them and walked away, Choi Young-do said to Kim Tan, "You're still like this, forcing people to leave you." Then he turned around and chased after Cha Eun-sang.
Catching up with Cha Eun-sang, Choi Young-do ran over and stood in front of her, bending down to look at her. He found her crying uncontrollably, and Choi Young-do looked at her with a pained expression.
He spoke in a deliberately impatient tone: "Hey! People will think I'm going to kidnap you!"
"Where's Ah-tan? Has he left?" Cha Eun-sang asked, her voice choked with emotion.
"Is today the end of the world? What's going on?"
Cha Eun-sang covered her face with her hands, not wanting him to see her in such a disheveled state, and cried uncontrollably.
"I'm so happy I want to celebrate, why are you crying?"
"You're having PE class right now, right? It's such a nice day, why don't we skip class and celebrate?" Choi Young-do suggested happily, hoping she wouldn't be sad.
"This isn't something someone ranked 98 should say," Cha Eun-sang said before continuing to walk forward, still finding time to complain even while crying so hard.
Choi Young-do was left behind, frowning: "They're not giving people a chance."
In the following episode, Choi Young-do and Kim Tan had another conversation about Cha Eun-sang in the dressing room.
After class, Choi Young-do, Park Myung-soo, and Lee Bo-na posed for a photo in their private activity room during the fall training camp.
In the photo, Choi Young-do is always around Cha Eun-sang, gazing at him with deep affection, something he himself is unaware of.
"So this is the expression I had when I looked at Cha Eun-sang." Choi Young-do realized this only after looking at these photos.
Choi Young-do happened to see Cha Eun-sang's mother, and the clever Choi Young-do immediately observed and confirmed the identities of Cha Eun-sang and her mother.
Young-do tells Eun-sang that he knows Eun-sang's mother's identity and invites her to eat noodles. Eun-sang says she is not afraid of Young-do's threats. However, Young-do, who is misunderstood, says that he was just sad to see Eun-sang stand him up and had no intention of threatening her. He leaves disappointed, and Eun-sang feels guilty.

Audience comments:
"My God! I got goosebumps when Choi Young-do confessed his feelings! Oh Sunny's acting was amazing!"
"Even though I know Young-do is the second male lead, I still can't help feeling sorry for him! That look in his eyes was so intense!"
"The scene where they confronted each other on the street was amazing! All three actors were incredibly talented! It was breathtaking!"
"Ou Yangguang perfectly portrayed the vulnerability beneath Choi Young-do's domineering nature! Today is another day of shedding tears for a beautiful love story (unrequited love)!"
"I was so excited watching EXO win the big prize on the live stream, and now I'm heartbroken watching Choi Young-do suffer unrequited love. SUN is so mind-numbing!"
These two completely different images are: a dazzling idol on stage who shares glory with his teammates, and a domineering yet proud and vulnerable chaebol heir on screen.
On the same day, they were presented to the public in the most extreme way. This stark contrast did not create a rift, but rather blended together wonderfully, making more people marvel at Ou Yangguang's versatility and adaptability as an artist.
Backstage at MMA, after finishing a group interview with the media, Ou Yangguang glanced at his phone during a break and was greeted by countless praises of Choi Young-do's acting and discussions about the plot.
He read the message from Kim Ji-won: "Watched tonight's broadcast, her acting was amazing! What to do? I'm a little jealous, looking at Eun-sang with such deep affection! Congratulations on winning the grand prize tonight! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧"
He couldn't help but smile, his fatigue vanishing instantly, and replied, "Thank you, Noona. You also got a share of the trophy; it's thanks to 'Sister's' support." He mischievously used the way Choi Young-do addressed Yoo Rachel in the drama, with a hint of teasing and intimacy.
