Because she struggles to be hired as a single woman, she fabricates a “married life” with a child to get a post in the Mother TF team at the company. Gong Ji-Hyuk (Jang Ki-yong) leads the Mother TF team – practical, composed, and not one to believe in love easily.

After the explosive kiss, Da-Rim vanishes without revealing her secret. Ji-Hyuk is left wrestling with confusion and curiosity, believing she truly is married with a child.
