However, Sang Soo did an awful thing and got mixed up with VVIP's credit card to an ordinary client.
The bank manager was furious at both of them that they had to travel from Seoul to Jeju Island just to claim the card.
Although it would be a hellish trip to some, Ha Sang Soo had a nice time especially since he got to know more about her.
The following day, he asked her out for a movie date to which she said yes.
After the movie date, Sang Soo asked her to go out on weekdays. Thankfully, it was her off so they agreed to meet at a restaurant. Unfortunately, the bank got busy and Soo Young thought that he ditched her.
Despite his being apologetic, she ignored him.
At the office, rumor sparked that she is going out with a rookie security guard. At the dinner party, the duo was on the topic with the senior managers insisting that they are dating. Since the conversation got a little bit awkward, the rookie security guard, Jung Jong Hyun left followed by Soo Young.
This is where Sang Soo followed her and confessed his feelings towards her. However, he got a different response with Soo Young telling him that she is indeed dating Jung Jong Hyun.
