Confronted by the self-proclaimed fiancée Choi Soobin, Hayeon displays astonishing composure, meeting a barrage of insults and even a thrown drink with unshakable poise.

Yet, her steel-like demeanor cracks the moment Soobin attacks Doyun's character, prompting a fierce defense where Hayeon brilliantly challenges the rival to take her claims to Doyun himself. The tense encounter solidifies her loyalty, leading to a reassuring moment with a protective Doyun that strengthens their authentic connection in the face of manufactured drama.
