Knowing that there are only 10 people left for the mission to be complete, Wol Joo enlists Han Kang Bae to help complete the mission with the help of his special ability.
The series becomes even more exciting as there is existing tension between Han Kang Bae and a security worker at the supermarket named Kang Yeo Rin who is portrayed by Jung Da Eun. Han Kang Bae asks Kang Yeo Rin if she feels something every time Han Kang Bae is around her.
