Ma Joo Ah (Park Hye Soo) is hopeful to level up her deepening connection with Moon Joon (Lee Jung Sic). Meanwhile, Cha Min Ho (Jung Jaehyun) realizes his blossoming feelings for his best friend.

'Dear. M' Episode 7: Cha Min Ho Confesses to Ma Joo Ah

Cha Min Ho's world was shaken after he got scammed by his senior. The 10 million KRW he saved for his sister's wedding was stolen when he invested it in a business with his senior colleague.

Ma Joo Ah immediately looked for him and comforted her friend. They went for a drink, and she didn't expect his sudden confession to her.

She didn't want to believe it because they were drunk, but Cha Min Ho kept repeating that he likes her. Ma Joo Ah, on the other hand, tried her best not to ruin the moment and let his confession pass as if nothing happened.

Seoyeon University students finished their exam week and were excited for the campus festival. Various departments built their booths around the university, in which students engaged with their schoolmates and enjoyed several activities.

Ma Joo Ah experienced hosting one of the events during the university week. Meanwhile, Seo Ji Min and Park Ha Neul were still adjusting to their single lives after they had broken up. Ban Yi Dam (Jo Joon Young) used that opportunity to get close to his first love Seo Ji Min.

On the last day of the campus week, Moon Joon unexpectedly introduced his girlfriend to his colleagues, including Ma Joo Ah and Cha Min Ho. Joo Ah was shocked and confused. She thought Moon Joon liked her because of his gestures toward her.

It turned out that Moon Joon only saw her as a younger sister, which hurt Ma Joo Ah.

Cha Min Ho, on the other hand, stayed by her side. However, as their conversation became serious, he confessed again his feelings for his best friend and kissed her.

'Dear. M' Episode 9: Ma Joo Ah Sets Boundaries

After repeatedly hearing Cha Min Ho's confession, Ma Joo Ah couldn't think straight and deliberated how to solve their current situation. She didn't want to ruin their friendship and wanted them to get back to normal.

Ma Joo Ah warned Cha Min Ho that if he would continue to like her, it'd be better for them to part ways.

Our kiss that night... did you really feel nothing at all?

Also, in "Dear. M" episode 9, Seo Ji Min (Roh Jeong Eui) was embroiled again in a dating rumor. This time, it was with his co-Cheer squad member and team leader. Choi Ro Sa (Hwang Boreum Byul) was the one who spread the gossip to ruin Ji Min's reputation.

Hwang Bo Young (Woo Da Vi) collapsed while having a night walk with Gil Mok Jin (Lee Jin Hyuk), Seo Ji Min, and Park Ha Neul (Bae Hyun Sung). She was rushed to the nearest hospital.

What surprised her, though, was Mok Jin had a lot of knowledge about her condition as a diabetic.
