Meanwhile, Jae-won sees a suspicious message on her husband’s phone, only to find out later that he is cheating on her.

Jae-won wakes up at the hospital after the incident. Because her company is launching a new product soon and she doesn’t know who the attacker is, she decides to let it go for now.
