Jin Moo-Hak worried about Kim Da-Li. He kept asking her about where did she stay. She refused to tell him. He could not stop thinking about her laughter. He sent a message for her. He accidentally wrote to her that he liked her. He immediately explained himself that he wanted to ask whether she liked to eat sushi. Because Kim Da-Li did not reply him, he was really upset about it. He could not sleep well. Therefore, he came to the art gallery early in the morning. He saw a lot of garbage at the art gallery. He was really frustrated and cleared everything.  Kim Da-Li and her staffs were every nervous. They thought that their art has been varnished. After watching the CCTV footage, they found the culprit who threw their art. Jin Moo-Hak defended that those things were garbage.

Kim Da-Li went to Dondon F&B to propose their plan to Jin Moo-Hak about the upcoming events. She received a call from Song Sa-Bong. She told her that those Youtubers, visitors and celebrities were hired by Dondon F&B. Kim Da-Li confronted with Jin Moo-Hak and asked whether was he behind this. He admitted that he was the one who hired them. He wanted to make more money by letting more people to know about the art gallery. Kim Da-Li was extremely against the idea. She felt that she had cheated the people. Jin Moo-Hak explained to her that this is how he do business. He was quite disappointed with her as she still could not understand how to make more money.

Joo Won-Tak was surprised to see Kim Da-Li coming out of Jin Moo-Hak’s house early in the morning. They explained to him about what happened last night. He learnt that this was not a simple burglary as nothing was missing in the house. Jin Moo-Hak wondered as if there was anyone who has grudge towards them. It seems like the burglary was looking for something specific.

Before Kim Da-Li went to work, Joo Won-Tak found an earring in his house. In the office, she found that Na Gong-Joo had injured her earbud. She suspected Na Gong-Joo was behind this.

Besides, he also has no interest in construction company. He tried to persuade them to drop the investment but it was too late. Jin Moo-Hak went home late at night. He saw Kim Da-Li was waiting for him in front of his house. He felt insulted when Kim Da-Li apologized on behalf of Jang Tae-Jin. However, Jin Moo-Hak suddenly kissed her.

Won In-Jae felt that her effort was wasted after being used by her stepfather. She was frustrated and decided to quit her job and start-up a new business. She also applied to join Sandbox as well. During the first screening, Won In-Jae, Nam Do-San and Seo Dal-Mi were successfully selected. They attended 3-days hackathon event to come out with a new business plan. Nam Do-San asked Han Ji-Pyeong for his advice before the 3-days hackathon event. Han Ji-Pyeong told him that he was not suitable to become a CEO, he has to choose the right CEO to run the company.

She was surprised to see Nam Do-San attended 3-days hackathon event.  Seo Dal-Mi was surprised too. Nam Do-San has no choice but to admit that he lied to her about his business being great. Since Won In-Jae and Seo Dal-Mi were being selected as a CEO, they need to find their teammates. Won In-Jae and Seo Dal-Mi offers Nam Do-San and his friends to join their team. After much consideration, Nam Do-San decided to choose Seo Dal-Mi. Seo Dal-Mi also found another teammate who was expert in design.

Soon after, Nam Do-San’s friend found out that Seo Dal-Mi did not attend college at all. They felt embarrassed and disappointed that they joined a lousy team. They even looked down at her. Nam Do-San tried to persuade his friends not to be judgmental. Seo Dal-Mi did not go to college because she did not want to burden her grandmother, who sold off her shop to pay for her tuition fees. After three days of discussion, they came out with a great business plan. Han Ji-Pyeong also helped Seo Dal-Mi with her speech. During the presentation, Seo Dal-Mi performed really well.

She was using AI to create different pattern of handwriting. Since both of them was contradict to one another, Won Doo-Jung (Won In-Jae’s stepfather) suggested Seo Dal-Mi to use her programming to test run Won In-Jae’s business plan. It came out that Seo Dal-Mi’s programming was not as successful as she claimed. This made her teammates disappointed with it.

After the panel judges’ discussion, Samsan Tech and Injae Company have been selected to join Sandbox program. They will be given a large sum of money to run their business. Sandbox also provided them as much resources as possible to support their business. Seo Dal-Mi wanted to asked Han Ji-Pyeong a few questions, but it was being distracted by Nam Do-San. Nam Do-San told her that he and Han Ji-Pyeong were like brother and their relationship was really close. 

Seo Dal-Mi chosen Han Ji-Pyeong to be their mentor. When Han Ji-Pyeong went through their shareholder list, he commented that CEO should hold the majority of the shares, rather than split the shares equally. Because of this, Nam Do-San’s friends fought with one another. They did not want to give up their share to Seo Dal-Mi. Nam Do-San tried to calm them. Han Ji-Pyeong said to Seo Dal-Mi that she was the main problem. She needed to find a way to handle these issues. Seo Dal-Mi did some research and also kept messaging Han Ji-Pyeong on how to be a good CEO. Han Ji-Pyeong told her that there is no guideline to become a good CEO. After much consideration, Seo Dal-Mi decided to let Nam Do-San to hold the majority of the shares. Nam Do-San intended to tell Seo Dal-Mi the truth, even though Han Ji-Pyeong strongly against it.

Seo Dal-Mi invited Nam Do-San to come to her house to greet her grandmother. Her grandmother was shocked to meet Nam Do-San. She saw him at the hospital when he sent his friend to the hospital to wash off his eyes. Her grandmother gave him some clue to pretend to know her for a long time. She told him not to tell Seo Dal-Mi about her visual impairment. She did not want Seo Dal-Mi to worry about her. 

Han Ji-Pyeong worried that Nam Do-San will tell Seo Dal-Mi the truth, so he came to her house. Han Ji-Pyeong and her grandmother pretended not to know each other. Nam Do-San signaled him that he did not tell her the truth. Han Ji-Pyeong and Nam Do-San helped them to repair their light bub and also some household core. Han Ji-Pyeong and Nam Do-San stayed for the dinner. Han Ji-Pyeong was jealous when Nam Do-San showed his caring towards Seo Dal-Mi. At night, Seo Dal-Mi’s grandmother asked her whether did she like the old Nam Do-San or the current ones. Seo Dal-Mi preferred both Nam Do-San.

Seo Dal-Mi and her teammates brainstormed about their business plan. Everyone liked the idea of Nam Do-San who suggested to use AI to help those visually impairment patient to improve their lives. He was inspired by Seo Dal-Mi’s grandmother. Although the idea is good, the development of the AI costs a lot of money. Seo Dal-Mi sent their proposal to Han Ji-Pyeong as they were to find investors to invest in their business.

Han Ji-Pyeong did not admit that he has feeling with Seo Dal-Mi. He threw away the fortune plant. However, the guard returned the plant back to him. He also ignored Seo Dal-Mi’s messages and also calls. Seo Dal-Mi wondered why he reacted this way. Sooner, Han Ji-Pyeong took it back and treated the plant with care. 

Seo Dal-Mi asked Han Ji-Pyeong when was his birthday as she wanted to treat him. She was surprised that Han Ji-Pyeong has the same birthday as Nam Do-San. 

Won In-Jae has secured an investment from a bank during the competition. Her mentor, Yoon Sun-Hak was proud of her. However, she wanted her not only care about profit but to do something greater than money. Won In-Jae overheard her conversation with Han Ji-Pyeong. Therefore, she tipped off to Seo Dal-Mi to look for her stepfather to ask for investment. Because Seo Dal-Mi did not have enough money to develop her AI, so she discussed with her teammates about this matter. She tried her best to persuade Won Doo-Jung with their business plan to improve on Won Doo-Jung’s business.

Although the discussion was not successful, Seo Dal-Mi decided to go with their original plan to develop an AI to help visual impairment patient. Seo Dal-Mi proposed her plan to Han Ji-Pyeong. Han Ji-Pyeong liked the idea, but he also worried about the cost for their business. Therefore, he disagreed with the plan. Seo Dal-Mi managed to persuade him and wanted to go through the rough path. Han Ji-Pyeong tried his best to support her by giving her the name list of potential investors that might interested to invest in their business. Seo Dal-Mi met many of the investors, but she could not be able to persuade them to invest in their business. 

Seo Dal-Mi talked to one of the investors, Lee Hye-Won. She went to the outskirt with her while talking about her business plan. After they were done talking, Seo Dal-Mi had not idea where she should go to. Lee Hye-Won contacted Han Ji-Pyeong to bring Seo Dal-Mi home. Seo Dal-Mi fell asleep in his car. Han Ji-Pyeong did not wake her up. Instead, he looked through their business plan and made some comment on it. Seo Dal-Mi woke up but she left her scrunchies in his car. Han Ji-Pyeong saw Nam Do-San was just nearby. He gave the scrunchies to him to return to her. Han Ji-Pyeong wanted to make Nam Do-San jealous. However, Nam Do-San did not show his jealousy in front of him. Han Ji-Pyeong was a bit surprise about it.

After learning the issues, Seo Dal-Mi used the recorded meeting conversation to threaten him to invest in their business and also lift the charges against Nam Do-San. In order to take care of his image and reputation, he agreed with her deal.

Seo Dal-Mi bought a meal for Han Ji-Pyeong to thank him for his support and also as his belated present. Han Ji-Pyeong really enjoyed it. When she read his notes on the business plan, she realized that the handwriting seemed familiar. She checked it with the letters wrote by Nam Do-San, and it seemed like the same person.

Han Ji-Pyeong and Seo Dal-Mi’s grandmother had an argument. Han Ji-Pyeong wanted to tell Seo Dal-Mi the truth behind the letter, but her grandmother against it. Han Ji-Pyeong sent a message to Seo Dal-Mi’s grandmother saying that he will take the letter from the bird house. Seo Dal-Mi accidentally took her grandmother’s handphone and she saw the message. In order to confirm, she came all the way to her grandmother’s old shop. Han Ji-Pyeong was shocked to see her in front of him reading the letter. Seo Dal-Mi was surprised too. She also gave a call to Nam Do-San and asked him where did they used to send letter to each other. Nam Do-San could not be able to answer that.
