She doesn’t understand why he wants to outdo her.
If she kissed him first, why she wanted to kiss him. She explains it to him that she was captivated by the art. She tells him that he’s a great artist. His work was too beautiful. She mentions it played calm music at that time. There was a certain magic at the moment and atmosphere. It was enchanting. She says that it’s backed by scientific evidence. Outstanding works of art will stimulate dopamine release. Making people excited, rapid pulse and breathing. It’s as if she’s under a spell.
He doesn’t believe that he drew so well. Because he’s not Michelangelo. She calls him Michelangelo immediately. He’s surprised that she made an excuse that she was captivated by the art.
She asks him if it’s true that he kissed her first, why he kissed her. He tells her that she was very beautiful. He was fully aware at the time. He was also in full possession of his faculties as well. She points out that she has been very beautiful. Everyone says so that her features are very delicate. The proportions are also excellent.
It doesn’t mean every man will kiss her. No matter who kissed who first, they must admit what happened yesterday isn’t normal.

She’s the Purchaser who controls the power. Sung-Tae points out that the girl appeared at Min-Woo’s wedding without a reason. She caused a big commotion. Min-Woo says that he was confused and flustered. He wouldn’t invite the girl if there’s something going on between them.
He thinks it’s unfair. He calls Sung-Tae and Ki-Jun brothers. Ki-Jun points out that they’re not Min-Woo’s brothers. He asks Min-Woo to sit well. They’re not kidding. Min-Woo brings up that he can enjoy the Newlywed Life after he experienced the wedding nightmare. But Ki-Jun believes that there’s a reason behind it. He asks Min-Woo if he let the girl misunderstood there was something going on between them. Min-Woo admits that he has his own Sales Strategy. He’s a person who makes a living selling lipstick. Most of the buyers are females. When a man and a woman work together, it’s inevitable that they will trigger a chemical reaction. He would use the point to make a deal.
Sung-Tae realizes that the guy sold his looks to achieve his goal. Min-Woo denies it. He says that he just flirted with those girls. He stopped when the girl had feelings. He remained polite. What he did is to make the girl feel good. Creating a sense of excitement and tension. He used those girls’ feelings without overstepping the line. They usually know the situation well. They would cooperate. He thinks Yoon-Ha is a bit paranoid.
Yoon-Ha tells Sung-Tae and Ki-Jun that she and Min-Woo are dating. They have a special bond. She was confused in the beginning. She thought the guy was nice to her to boost sales.

He admits it. But he points out that she said that she was very ill when he wanted her to pay. He thinks he had no choice but to make her feel comfortable. He went to nearby pharmacy. He bought all the most effective medications. She liked to be taken care of very well. She paid the next day.
She accepted his dating invitation. They watched a movie and had a dinner together. It’s like a weekend date. He realizes that she thought it was a date. He was bored on the weekend. She kept complaining. So he gave the movie ticket his company provided to her. She said that she was only free on Saturday when she got the ticket. He thinks she needs to work overtime on weekend.
She reveals he kept saying that she was cute and pretty. When she got food on her face, he would wipe her mouth for her. She wonders if it’s his job responsibilities. He would send the messages of good morning and good night to her. He never stopped. She thinks it means something.
Sung-Tae tells Yoon-Ha that they checked Min-Woo’s cell phone. The messages he sent to the clients are the same.

Physical contact? It’s impossible. He never kissed Yoon-Ha.
In-A meets Ki-Jun in the office. She asks him why he stopped the investigation. He summons the clients to question. But he didn’t complete the report. He thinks it’s the two’s personal affairs. They have different perspectives on the same matter. He thinks they cannot investigate it objectively. The truth between the two of them doesn’t belong exclusively to either side. It lies in the zone where the two meet. She asks him to go to investigate the borderland. It’s obvious that the two disagree on something. Yoon-Ha said that they had a kiss. But Min-Woo said that they didn’t. She thinks it’s the point. He gets her point that a kiss is so important. He thought an apology could resolve everything after a kiss.
Ki-Jun takes In-A to a bar. He tells her that Yoon-Ha and Min-Woo had a kiss there after the dinner. She asks him to describe what happened at the time.

Ki-Jun tries to kiss In-A. She pushes him away. She thinks he doesn’t have to act the whole thing. He mentions she asked him to describe in detail. He thinks she’s inconsistent herself. She notices the CCTV. She offers to go to take the footage. But the CCTV is fake. Because there’s no wires and flashing lights. She praises him. She hits his arm.
Jae-Yeol plays golf with his friend at the golf club. A-Jeong reports to him that Sung-Yeol called. He asks her to tell the guy that he will call him back. She walks away.

He wishes she can focus on work-related matters. She laughs. She thinks he doesn’t have to do so. She reveals she’s living with a man. The man is a good person. He doesn’t have to worry about it. She won’t be persistent.
A-Jeong sees Ki-Jun. She gets off the car. She runs to him. She takes his arm. She tells him that she just used him. He asks her if it’s because of the man. She says that it’s a secret. She wants to buy him a dinner. He doesn’t understand why everyone has secrets. It promotes her to wonder who has secrets. He claims that it’s his secrets.
The next day at Haemu Group, Yoon-Ha thinks it can confirm her and Min-Woo’s relationship. The kiss means that they’re dating. She asks Ki-Jun and Sung-Tae if they would kiss the girl who they’re dating. She wonders if she’s an old-fashioned person. She thinks the guy should take duty since he kissed her. But Min-Woo said that it was nothing for him. Yoon-Ha kept flirting with him. So they did it when they were drunk. Yoon-Ha laughs. She says that she knows it since she’s at the age. A momentary lapse and emotional connection. She can tell the difference clearly.
Ki-Jun agrees with what Yoon-Ha said. He knows they’re different. She mentions Min-Woo forgets the kiss. She wonders if he loses his memory. But he points out that not all the people who have kissed are dating. Kiss is just a kind of way to greet people in some countries. He thinks he doesn’t have to marry the girl just because he kissed her.
At the restaurant, Audit Team has a team gathering again. Gwang-Il thinks they kiss because they’re dating. He mentions their ancestors married the people who they talked to. Da-Ye points out that they’re living in the era that sleep together first, then go on a date. But Hae-Young says that kiss is more emotional than sleeping with someone. Sung-Tae believes that everyone will make mistakes when he’s drunk. He thinks physical contact isn’t dating. Hyun-Kyu minds it that Min-Woo lied. It proves that their kiss is of great significance. He could admit it if he was with a clear conscience. Ki-Jun agrees with Hyun-Kyu said. He thinks the truth hides in the lies.

He tells her that he wants to take her home. Because it’s too late. He asks her if the kiss means nothing to her. She tells him not to think too much. It was an accident. He asks her if she wants to pretend nothing happened. She reminds him that he’s acting like a teenager who just experienced first kiss. He points out that he asked her about it because it was his first kiss. She asks him if he wants to date her. He offers to get to the bottom of it. She asks him if he wants to sleep with her. She gets the driver to stop the taxi.
Ki-Jun stops In-A on the street. He promises her that he will pretend nothing happened. He asks her why she used a passionate kiss to have him completely smitten, and she pushed him away. He thinks she doesn’t like him that much. Or it’s because she’s his boss. He asks her if she has another man.
