At the same time, Joon-ho decides to resign from his company and make a new beginning as a rookie instructor.
The Test Lecture
Even though Hye-jin tries to dissuade Joon-ho, he already passed the first written exam and is getting ready for the test lecture. Therefore, Hye-jin privately asks Ji-seok to disapprove of him.
