### Summary
Reeling from the devastating confrontation she overheard between Yoo Jung and Inho Baek, Hong Seol has begun to actively withdraw, seeking a "quiet" life by distancing herself from the chaotic influence of what she calls "those three people." This retreat into isolation mirrors Jung's own desire for peace, with analysis suggesting Seol is adopting his coping mechanisms. However, her method diverges; rather than resorting to manipulation, she is becoming calmly non-reactive, drawing firm lines and simply closing herself off from others. This avoidance is creating immediate friction in her new relationship with Jung, as she fails to communicate and runs from her problems, struggling with her own emotional baggage regarding issues like physical contact. While Seol navigates this internal crisis, Inho Baek remains a lingering presence. A side plot also highlights the character development of Jaewoo, who, ironically encouraged by Jung and Inha, has learned to be more patient and stand up to the antagonistic Sangcheol.
