She puts the camera down to collect her composure, which Joon-young notices from on the stage. When she gathers herself and stands back up, he smiles this huge happy grin, and from the back of the audience Ji-tae sees the whole exchange.
Ji-tae's dad excuses himself and goes outside for some fresh air, remembering the time that Joon-young offered to share his umbrella in a storm. Ah, so he does remember him. Joon-young had never come back for that book, and Dad guesses that he never will and walks away.
Ji-tae's mother worries when she hears that her husband can't be found, and her voice falters a little when she learns that he was at Joon-young's concert. Does she know? She shakes like a leaf and sweeps a vase off the table in anger – oh, I bet she knows.
Joon-young's mom catches her employee watching the video of the concert and smacks him, even though he claims he was looking for reasons to bash Joon-young online. She turns her anger on Ajusshi when he shows up, but he gives her an envelope of money — it's the amount Gook-young owes Joon-young, which he's had for three years.
Ajusshi decided to just pay the money back himself, and he declares himself finally on equal footing with Mom. He also informs Mom that Joon-young didn't quit law school because of Gook-young, in fact he quit before Gook-young even needed the financial help.
Eul films Joon-young in his dressing room during a break, and it's cute how she's the only person he pays any attention to. But he ignores her scripted documentary questions, and instead asks who the guy was who answered her phone yesterday.
Eul ignores the question, but Joon-young keeps asking about the guy, repeating the word "boyfriend" until it finally gets a rise out of Eul. She snaps that he's NOT her boyfriend, and Joon-young smirks and says "good job" as he heads back to the stage.
During Joon-young's finale song his spotlight goes out, and words appear on the silkscreen behind him: "There's someone I love in this place." Eul starts to look nervous when she realizes that he's holding an identical teddy bear to the one he gave her back in high school. On the screen, the sentence "I want to confess my love to you today" appears, and suddenly the silkscreen drops to reveal an entire orchestra.
Joon-young drops his microphone and walks into the audience, and pulls Eul onto the stage with him. The section they're standing on rises, and the audience goes silent, but Joon-young and Eul only have eyes for each other.
He gives her the bear, which triggers a memory of him shoving another teddy bear at her and jokingly saying, "I love you, Eul-ah." But this time, he's dead serious.
Ji-tae walks away, unwilling to stay for Eul's response, and in the audience Haru's friend find a photo online of Joon-young and Eul with the teddy bear back in school.
Awww, we cut to Joon-young stretched out in his dressing room, while Gook-young complains that he got publicly rejected. The internet is exploding with stories about their past and what happened today, especially about how Eul supposedly stole her friend's boyfriend and caused her friend to attempt suicide.
Joon-young tells his team to sue the people making slanderous comments, prepared to kill them with his bare hands. His stylist says that Eul is probably having a worse time than he is.
Eul is currently in the restroom, unaware that Haru is next to her, glaring at her. Haru throws water in Eul's face and calls her a gold digger, and stomps out leaving Eul facing a mob of angry girls. Eul quickly fibs that the proposal was just a part of the show, but she finds a camera in her face the moment she leaves the restroom.
She tries to fend off the pushy reporter but stops when they show her the articles already being posted about her and Joon-young. They eagerly watch her reaction, but Ji-tae shows up and covers the camera lens, and tells them they're violating Eul's rights.
He pulls Eul outside to safety, but they immediately see Joon-young there, waiting with his face covered. Joon-young and Ji-tae lock eyes, each knowing who the other is, and Joon-young pulls down the scarf covering his face.
He takes in the fact that Ji-tae is holding Eul's wrist, and asks quietly if he's "Husband." Ji-tae doesn't answer so Joon-young reaches for Eul's hand, but Ji-tae steps between them. He tells Joon-young that the reporters are filming them right now, but Joon-young doesn't care.
He's a celebrity so everyone already knows who he is, but is it okay with Ji-tae for his face to be out there? "Everyone will find out about you in no time." Someone recognizes Joon-young and the trio are swarmed with reporters and screaming fans, and they all stand still for a long moment.
Ji-tae breaks first, pulling his hat down to cover his face and releasing Eul's arm. For a moment Joon-young actually looks a bit sorry at Ji-tae's discomfort, but he takes Eul's hand and leads her away.
