In danger of being expelled, Seungcheon barges into Taeyong's home to see his father. He musters his courage and asks for a meal. If Taeyong's father lets him eat in their house, it will be the third time, which will test whether the golden spoon is a way for Seungcheon to live a comfortable life of his own.
