Over the course of Episode 14, Lee Young Joon (played by Park Seo Joon) and Kim Mi So (played by Park Min Young) came to realize just how deeply they cared for one another. After visiting a restaurant run by one of Lee Young Joon’s childhood friends (played by Jung Yu Mi) and hearing her talk about finding happiness after pursuing her dreams, Lee Young Joon remembered Kim Mi So saying that she wanted to quit her job as his secretary in order to live her own life. In order to put her happiness before his own, he finally decided to stop trying to change her mind about quitting and to let her go.

However, shortly after Lee Young Joon romantically declared that he was ready to help Kim Mi So discover what she really wanted to do with her life, news of an unexpected emergency suddenly broke out at their company, forcing both of them into crisis mode. The incident finally made Kim Mi So realize that what really mattered to her was staying by Lee Young Joon’s side and helping him. Announcing that she had decided not to quit, she explained to Lee Young Joon that just as he had wanted to let her go because he loved her, she wanted to stay because she loved him.
