Hee-soo goes back to Kyung-chae's house and sets the house on fire, killing Kyung-chae's mother, Mrs Yeo, who is half-paralyzed. The incident leaves Kyung-chae, her sister, Eun-chae and her father homeless and penniless. Kyung-chae's father was released because of health conditions and memory loss. Luckily, Kyung-chae gets help from her trusted friend, Jin Soo-hyuk. Soo-hyuk helps Kyung-chae get a job at his restaurant.

She manages to marry Han Ji-sub and now lives in Kyung-chae's house which had been rebuilt. Kyung-chae and Soo-hyuk soon get a job at the hotel where Soo-hyuk becomes CEO and Kyung-chae is a representative of Mona Lisa Hotel's working partner, Lubyni.
