1. Patience Meets A Rival

Kim Mu-jin's feelings for Han Gyu-rim deepen at the restaurant, while Gyu-rim has barely a moment to think about romance between home responsibilities, part-time work, and her siblings' latest troubles. Mu-jin chooses patience and plans to approach her slowly, but Jo Heung-sik's bold advance shakes his resolve. The slow approach ends in one sudden confession.

2. You Are My Saviour

Mu-jin confesses his feelings for Gyu-rim, but Gyu-rim turns him down, telling him that life is too hard for her to date anyone. Gyu-rim suddenly gets worried that she might have to live the rest of her life taking care of her siblings, so she tells them she's getting married out of the blue. Meanwhile, Yoon-hee gets into a car accident, and it turns out the other driver is her ex-husband.

3. Truth Changes Everything

As Mu-jin and Gyu-rim settle into a blossoming romance, Mu-jin decides he can no longer hide the truth and finally reveals the secret he has kept from her. Reeling from the unexpected revelation and Hong Ok-seon's fierce opposition, the couple vows not to let go of each other, only for an unforeseen crisis to threaten everything they have chosen to protect.

4. Unexpected Reunion

Mu-jin is severely injured while working as a day labourer at a construction site. Meanwhile, his older sister, Yoon-jin, confronts Gyu-rim and urges her to end her relationship with Mu-jin. At the same time, Gyu-rim's family is evicted from their home. Eight years later, Gyu-rim lives with her young son, Gyeol. However, she is summoned to the police station, where she comes face to face with someone she never expected to see again.

6. Reunion With Mother

Mu-jin suspects Gyeol might be his son, but Gyu-rim quickly brushes off his suspicions. Gyeol once again asks Mu-jin to meet, and when they sit down together, Gyeol surprises Mu-jin with an unexpected question. Meanwhile, Yoon-hee learns that Gyu-young had asked Hoon-tae for help with her wedding and decides to meet with her. However, Gyu-young is disappointed when Yoon-hee's attitude is completely different from what she had expected.

7. A Past They Cannot Erase

Pressed by young Gyeol about his lingering affection, Mu-jin insists he holds no desire for someone already married. Elsewhere, Gyu-rim fiercely defends her secret against Jung-woo, adamant that her son shares no connection with Mu-jin. Still, keeping the past deeply buried proves impossible.

8. The Saviour Who Saved My Son

After learning that Heung-sik was injured while trying to save Gyeol, Gyu-rim gradually grows attached to Heung-sik. Meanwhile, Gyu-young, fired from the hospital, returns to Gyu-rim's home, showing signs of causing trouble once again. Elsewhere, Ok-seon discovers Gyeol's existence and begins looking into his background in secret, even planning to take him away from Gyu-rim and raise him herself.
