They both head to breakfast, and Jia grapples with her feelings, wondering if she truly likes Mincheol and how to confirm it.

However, as she watches Mincheol chugging his healthy shake, her confusion grows. The memory of their kiss flares in her mind, causing her to slam her head on the table in embarrassment.

However, as they start bench pressing, Jia becomes flustered by his proximity, finding it difficult to focus with him so close.

It turns out Mincheol is on the other side, preoccupied with purchasing a limited edition tomato sauce and unaware of their presence. This unexpected closeness leaves Sang-U and Suyeon awkwardly pressed against each other. They quickly back away, both realizing how tight the situation has become, creating an even more uncomfortable atmosphere.
