As Taehyun and Chaeryeong continued their search for the perfect wedding dress on the iPad, Taehyun couldn't help but awkwardly smile at the reservationist girl. 

Finally, Chaeryeong pointed out a dress that caught her eye. "Oh my god, this looks nice," Taehyun exclaimed, handing the iPad back to the reservationist. 

However, the reservationist smiled and said ''Right, but... To be honest, this design is a little out of fashion. There are a lot of things to mind when putting it on too."

 Concerned about the dress slipping off, Taehyun asked about it, only to be met with laughter from the girl. "Gosh, that could never happen! We do thorough fittings," she reassured them.

 Undeterred, Chaeryeong insisted on trying on the dress. The reservationist, impressed by her determination, gave her a quick look  and then smiled at Taehyun. 

"You must like bold styles," she remarked. Taehyun simply replied, "I guess..."

 With that, the reservationist suggested getting Chaeryeong fitted in the dress. 

Taehyun agreed, and as they waited, the reservationist called out for Jihye, who was nowhere to be found. 

"Jihye!!" She said a bit louder, which startled Chaeryeong. Suddenly the reservationist's assistant came.

"Jihye's not here" The assistant said''Where did she go? It's still working hour'' The reservationist said.''What? You sent her on an errand eariler.'' The girl remindedThe girl quicky looked at Taehyun and Chaeryeong and quietly told the reservationist ''The bakery..''

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jihye mentioned that they had freshly baked bread at four and instructed me to go and get them. She placed the bread on the counter in the restroom while talking on the phone.

"Do I look like her personal errand runner?" she grumbled.

Jihye responded to the person on the phone, saying, "Exactly! That's what I've been trying to tell you!" 

 "Had Ju-hui been here, she would have stood up for me!" she exclaimed, expressing her frustration.

 "Wait, you didn't know?" she asked, surprised.

 "Ju-hui got fired," she revealed, her voice filled with a hint of sadness.

"The incident...'' Jihye stopped talking and looked around the restroom and lowered her voice.

"The incident of the dress slipping off" Jihye told her colleague on the phone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Ryujin prepared to flush the toilet, she overheard the girl she had bumped into talking about the dress incident. "Whatever, I'm gonna go now, bye," Jihye said dismissively. "I have to get it to her while it's still fresh and hot," Jihye added, determinedly. With a quick goodbye to her friend on the phone, Jihye left the restroom. 

Ryujin cautiously opened the bathroom stall and dialled Taehyun's number. "Taehyun, it's me, Ryujin," she began. "I think an employee named Ju-hi was fired because of the dress incident," she informed him. "I overheard someone on the phone. If she's an employee there, she'll show up with bread," Ryujin added. 

"Bread?" Taehyun questioned, confused. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just then, a girl carrying a bag of bread walked past him. Taehyun bid Ryujin farewell and quietly followed the girl into a room filled with wedding dresses. 

"Excuse me?" Taehyun called out. 

"Yes?" the girl responded, placing the bread on a tray. 

"Hello, I was wondering if you knew where Ju-hi is," he asked. 

"Ju-hi... Bae Ju-hi?" she inquired. 

"Yeah, I think it was maybe three months ago? I had a consultation with her, and it seems like she isn't here today," Taehyun explained. 

"She resigned... What's this about?" the girl asked, curious. 

"It's a long story," Taehyun chuckled. "Could I get her contact information?" he requested, reaching for his phone. 

"Well... I can't hand out her private information... I'm sorry," she apologized, preparing to leave.

 "Well-" Taehyun was interrupted. 

"We're ready," the reservationist called out, somehow finding him. 

As he waited for Chaeryeong to emerge in the wedding dress, his phone began to ring. "Yes, attorney Shin," he answered. 

"I looked into it, but I don't think-" Taehyun stopped speaking as Chaeryeong walked out, looking stunning in the wedding dress. 

"Sorry, I have to go," Taehyun told Ryujin and ended the call, his attention solely focused on Chaeryeong's beauty. 

"How do you feel?" one of the employees asked Chaeryeong. 

"It is really uncomfortable," Chaeryeong blunt.

"It feels like it's only made out of labels." She added.

One of the girls directed her finger towards Taehyun and exclaimed, "Oh my, just look at his face!" 

"He's absolutely smitten," another girl observed. 

Chaeryeong chuckled softly and teasingly asked, "Have you fallen in love?"Meanwhile, Taehyun couldn't help but be entranced by Chaeryeong's stunning beauty.
