Previously, Hyeon Joong was left devastated by Kang Sol’s (Park Hae In’s) death and gave up on working out. However, with encouragement from Mi Ran and the rest of the gym community, he found the strength to return as head trainer. Over time, Hyeon Joong developed feelings for Mi Ran, who stood by him and offered unwavering support.

Amid this situation, Hyeon Joong—who has never recorded a body fat percentage over 10 percent—faces a personal crisis when his number unexpectedly climbs into double digits. One of the images captures him clutching his biceps in disbelief, unable to accept the surprising change.

Shaken by the setback, Hyeon Joong blames tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) for his weight gain. Determined to take control, he decides to distance himself from Mi Ran—his go-to tteokbokki buddy—and begins avoiding her. But staying away from both the food and her proves harder than expected.

Meanwhile, unaware of what Hyeon Joong is going through, Mi Ran is left confused and hurt by his sudden shift in behavior—especially when she thought their relationship was deepening. Feeling betrayed, she eventually requests a new trainer.

In the still below, Mi Ran is seen holding her forehead in frustration during a tense conversation with Hyeon Joong, heightening the tension. With the two unable to avoid each other at the gym, viewers are eager to see how their story will develop.
