When Jang Shin-yu (played by Rowoon) awakens, he gets a chance to read the messages sent by Lee Hong-jo (played by Jo Bo-ah). The two decide to meet at the hospital where Hong-jo asks for the wooden box to be returned to her.

In the background, however, it is revealed that someone is spying on the two and taking a photo of them together. These photos are then sent to Shin-yu's girlfriend, Na-yeon (played by Yura).

She calls a number and orders that person to stop. This is perceived as Na-yeon being behind these events.

Na-yeon then visits her boyfriend at the hospital where they talk about their travel plans. Hong-jo is worried that the Shin-yu might be cursed once again after the love destruction spell.

To get answers, she visits her shaman, Eun-wol (played by Kim Hye-ok). Once there, she gets enticed to try a new spell.

It is later revealed that Na-yeon has been conniving with Na Jung-beom (played by Ahn Sang-woo). Only this time, Na-yeon has gone against his orders.
