Summer sat on a bench near the bank, waiting for the future.
Though the weather was cold, they had promised to relieve stress by eating spicy chicken feet after a long time.
At that moment, Future, wearing an ivory-colored coat, could be seen running towards them.
“Hey, Future! Come slowly. You might trip.”
Now a full-fledged professional, Future, unlike Summer, who wore sneakers, had neat black shoes on.
“Hey, Summer! It’s okay. It’s okay.”
As if telling them not to worry, Future happily ran towards them.
“Waited long?”
“Still, it ended earlier than I thought.”
“While our Summer was waiting, this unnie wrapped up the work quickly.”
They smiled at each other face to face.
“If you go down that alley, there’s a really good place for spicy chicken feet.”
“Really?”
“Let’s have beer after a long time. I’ll treat.”
“Sounds good!”
“First, let’s go. If we’re too late, there might be no seats in that popular place.”
Summer and Future started walking towards the restaurant together.
“By the way, did you really get a part-time job at the café?”
“Yeah.”
“I wonder how surprised the boss was today. Isn’t taking someone else’s part-time job like robbery? Oh, Jungyeoreum?”
“But I still did a great job.”
“That’s true.”
Future laughed.
Then, Summer’s phone rang.
Seeing that it was from Supervisor Park, they answered cheerfully.
“Where are you now?”
“I’m meeting a friend to eat chicken feet.”
“Oh, what should we do? You should come home.”
“Why?”
“The chairman is looking for you.”
The joyful expression on Summer’s face quickly faded.
“What’s going on?”
“The chairman saw Ha Eun’s video. He found out that you uploaded it on the internet, and now… he’s furious.”
“I understand. I’ll come in soon.”
“Okay.”
With a polite response, Supervisor Park’s call ended.
Summer looked at Future, whose face had stiffened with worry, and said, “I guess I won’t have the luck to eat chicken feet today.”
“Summer…”
“Don’t worry. Would that old man really kill me for this?”
Summer said with a short exhale.
On the first-floor living room sofa, the Gitaek family looked anxious.
The executives and staff called to the study were being scolded by Juwha.
Of course, that scolding would soon fall upon them too.
“Mom, I… I need to go to the bathroom again.”
Indal, looking pitifully at Haeun sitting across from him, spoke.
“Aunt, if you knew it was dangerous, you should have been careful. What’s this? Because of you, it’s affecting us too.”
“Stop it.”
Gitaek sat silently.
Realizing belatedly, he felt awkward.
Then, the sound of the study door opening made everyone stand up involuntarily.
Juwha came out into the hallway, and behind her, executives and staff with pale faces followed one after another.
“Hasn’t she arrived yet?”
Sitting on the sofa, Juwha asked Supervisor Park.
“He said he’s nearby.”
Behind Juwha, the PR group executives stood, holding their breath.
Blue House employees, who had secretly observed the living room situation, were equally uneasy.
“What should we do about Miss Summer? The chairman is very angry, isn’t he?”
“That’s right. It’s a big problem.”
Numerous people were scattered throughout the living room, yet not a single breath could be heard.
So when the sound of the entrance door opening resonated loudly, it was quite noticeable.
The figure revealed with footsteps was indeed Summer.
“You’re looking for me?”
Approaching the sofa, Summer asked Juwha, who was seated on the main seat.
“Yeah.”
Summer tried to sit on the sofa, but it was already occupied by the Gitaek family, and they seemed unwilling to give up their seats.
They could sit if they insisted.
But they didn’t want to.
Turning their head to the side, Summer approached a specific spot.
The eyes of everyone in the living room were fixed on Summer’s every move.
For a moment, everyone was taken aback.
Summer grabbed the luxurious chair placed by the window and dragged it to the sofa, placing it facing Juwha.
Their gazes aligned perfectly.
Seeing Juwha’s furrowed brow, everyone instinctively tightened the reins of their hearts in anticipation of the expected confrontation.
Whether Summer knew about this or not, they casually spoke.
“What’s the matter that you called me for?”
Assistant Director Ahn approached at Juwha’s gesture and presented a tablet.
On the screen was ‘Resort Wine Lady.’
Juwha asked, “Is this your doing?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You spreading Ha Eun’s video on the internet and filing a lawsuit. Is that you?”
Behind Juwha, two lawyers from the legal team appeared among the people gathered.
Seeing their awkward expressions, Summer said, “Yes, it’s me. After confirming everything, why ask again?”
“What?”
“I uploaded Kang Haeun’s video on the internet and filed the lawsuit. Is that what you’re asking about?”
“Did you also threaten Ha Eun on the internet and the family? Is that true?”
“The word ‘threaten’ is a bit strong. But from the standpoint of the recipient, it might seem that way. Yes, I did. That threat.”
At that moment, Juwha forcefully slammed the armrest of the sofa.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
