Ra-Ik asks Se-Na to explain it to him why she kept his stuff at home in Idol I episode 7. He wonders if a lawyer would do that. He thinks it’s not reasonable that she trusted him and protected him. She admits it to him that she’s his fan. But she didn’t take the case because of the reason. He’s furious to question her why she concealed those things. He can accept it if she confessed in the beginning. So he wouldn’t reply on her. It was the first time in his life that someone defended him. Someone said that she trusts him. She took his side. He was very grateful.
Ra-Ik wonders if Se-Na would defend him if he’s not Golden Boy Ra-Ik. She cannot give him the answer. He leaves her house. He runs on the street in the evening. He wonders when she began to lie to him. He gets a call from Han-Gu. Chung-Jae walks into Se-Na’s house. He sees Se-Na sitting on the floor. He’s told that Ra-Ik knew the truth. He thinks it wouldn’t happen if Se-Na let him throw away the things. He tries to pack the things. But she stops him. She wants to throw away the things on her own. She thinks she can make it. But he yells at her. He points out that she did it early if she can do that. He mentions what she said that she took the case as a lawyer. But she couldn’t throw away the things. She throws a fit to him. She claims that she was going to throw away those things.
Se-Na tried to give up her feelings for Ra-Ik. She had to do it if she wanted to take his case. But those things she couldn’t throw away. The days that she liked Ra-Ik will disappear if she does it. So she put it into the attic.
Ra-Ik goes to the dormitory. He and Han-Gu don’t know where Jae-Hee went. Han-Gu reveals Young-Bin moved out. Young-Bin claimed that he feels guilty after he suspected Ra-Ik. So he couldn’t live with Jae-Hee. Han-Gu tells Ra-Ik that the prosecutors wanted to question Jae-Hee. The prosecutors are going to summon Ra-Ik. Han-Gu is surprised that Ra-Ik’s lawyer didn’t tell it to Ra-Ik. Han-Gu reports it to Bo-Sang that Ra-Ik didn’t leak why he had a fight with the lawyer. He guesses the guy didn’t trust him.

She knows she let him down. But she cannot protect him if he refuses to accept her help. He stops her. He tells her that he cannot believe any words of her. She admits it to him that she took the case because he’s her idol. But she dropped her selfishness after she became his lawyer. She defended the human Ra-Ik even if she liked Golden Boy Ra-Ik. He points out that she made him trust her. So he cannot accept it. He wants to fire her.

He claims that the lawyer isn’t related to them anymore. Byung-Gyun joins Se-Na in front of the elevator. He blames Ra-Ik. He brings up that Jae-Hee went missing. She wonders why he didn’t look into Ra-Ik. She knows he won’t do that. Because he needs to admit that his previous investigation was wrong if he changes the suspect. He points out that it will be decided by him even if the pieces are beautiful. She thinks he’s like his father. She reminds him that prosecutor shouldn’t forcibly piece evidence together. But he’s doing so. He points out that the truth isn’t important at all. He thinks she knows it since her father experienced it. He believes that Ra-Ik will get the same bad ending like her father.

Nam-Sik offers to arrest Jae-Hee. But Byung-Gyun worries that the media will take action if he announces the new suspect. He knows the reporters will think the investigation was unfair. He and Nam-Sik cannot shirk responsibility. He asks Nam-Sik to handle it silently. But Nam-Sik points out that they cannot stop the reporters. He thinks they need the arrest warrant so that they can look into Jae-Hee’s phone and his car. He reminds Byung-Gyun that the guy might leave the nation. But Byung-Gyun remembers his father told him not to change the prey. He allows Nam-Sik to get the arrest warrant. But Nam-Sik cannot change the main suspect.
