Previously, Eun Sil found herself taking charge of the diner in place of her mother (Kim Hee Jung), who had been involved in an unexpected accident. Suddenly thrust into the role of a stand-in owner, Eun Sil proposed a business partnership to Heo Gyun, with whom she constantly clashed. The two eventually began running the diner together. Meanwhile, across the street, the restaurant chef Lee Hyuk (Lee Sae On) grew furious upon hearing about Eun Sil and Heo Gyun’s partnership, heightening the tension.

Amidst this, the newly released stills feature Heo Gyun, who became the head chef of the diner, nervously watching Eun Sil, while Eun Sil appears satisfied, wearing a content facial expression as she celebrates the successful opening of the diner.

Adding to the intrigue, Mi Sol (Lee Soo Min), with smudged makeup, is seen hiding behind a box, intently observing something. Previously, Mi Sol escaped from Lee Hyuk’s clutches with Heo Gyun’s help. Viewers are curious to find out whether Mi Sol is once again being pursued by Lee Hyuk.

Another set of stills captures a rift between Heo Gyun and Eunsil. Heo Gyun tries to hold onto Eun Sil’s arm as she lets her emotions pour out, but the conflict between them only intensifies. A visible wound on the corner of Heo Gyun’s mouth hints that something serious may arise in the upcoming episode.
