One day, Ka Ran sees Nam Joon handing over a sweetbun, which he received from one of Ka Ran's friends, to another girl. Furious, Ka Ran confronts Nam Joon and gives him a good beating.

Although they continue to bicker and clash, they eventually come to the realization that they are meant to be together.
