Feeling like she can't win over Sae Yi, she went straight to the elevator and left parting words saying, "Every time you find someone important, your friend will act like it, no matter who you meet."
Those words woke up Goo Woong and realized that it was Yumi that he wanted and not the friendship with Sae Yi.
He followed Yumi to the elevator and hugged her, signaling that everything was sorted out.
