[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 16th, KBS2's 'Once Again' aired an episode depicting Lee Minjung and Alex growing closer, causing Lee Sangyeop to feel jealous.

That day, the four Song siblings were kicked out of the house without even properly putting on their shoes. Song Junseon (Oh Daehwan) protested, "What did I do wrong?" but Song Gahi (Oh Yoonah) scolded him, saying, "You can't say you did nothing wrong." In response, Song Nahee (Lee Minjung) apologized, saying, "I'm sorry," and Song Dahi (Lee Chohui) defended Nahee, saying, "We were wrong too."

Seeing the siblings crouched outside the gate without shoes, Song Youngdal (Cheon Hojin) said to Jang Okbun (Cha Hwayeon), "What are you going to do if the neighbors see this?" To which Okbun retorted, "You kick people out when you're angry too. Why can't I?"

When Dahi confided that she was struggling with math, Nahee asked, "What is it?" and tried to help. But Dahi said, "I'll handle it myself," insisting she was fine. However, Nahee insisted on helping and asked about the unsolved problems. Dahi recalled the painful memories of being hit by Nahee during their school days while studying and felt distressed. To make matters worse, Nahee said she would help her study for an hour every day until the exam.

Yoon Kyujin (Lee Sangyeop) apologized to Nahee on behalf of his mother, Choi Yoonjung (Kim Boyeon), who had made a careless remark to his mother-in-law Okbun. Kyujin asked, "Should I call and apologize to your mother?" but Nahee sharply replied, "Why would you? My mom is no longer your mother-in-law, and you are no longer my mom's son-in-law."

The newly appointed hospital director Lee Jeongrok (Alex) received good reviews from the hospital staff, who said, "Maybe because he's young, he's definitely rational, smart, and easy to communicate with." Yoon Kyujin felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing Jeongrok and Nahee getting along well.

Yoon Jaeseok (Lee Sangyi) and Song Dahi met at a street food stall after a long time. They sympathized with each other while gossiping about Yoon Kyujin and Song Nahee. They also exchanged complaints about why their breakup was causing trouble even for them.

Jeongrok suggested a buffet for the company dinner, and most of the hospital staff happily agreed. Kyujin was about to skip it but changed his mind after hearing from Jaeseok that Nahee would attend.

At the buffet, Jeongrok noticed Nahee was not eating well and took care of her by offering various dishes. Seeing this, Jaeseok told Kyujin, "That's not camaraderie; that's the smell of a romantic interest." The dinner continued from the buffet to karaoke, but Nahee suffered from indigestion and couldn't join inside, so she was outside getting some fresh air. Jeongrok noticed this and massaged her hand while nursing her, which Kyujin saw and engaged in a subtle rivalry.

After sending Nahee off in a taxi, Jeongrok told Kyujin, "It seems things aren't clearly settled yet. You looked a bit sensitive." Kyujin felt troubled by those words.
