I am so frustrated with these two! Yiyoung, you really disappointed me. You lied, outright denied you met him. I hope this is just a relationship blip, because Director Kang and Yiyoung are endgame. Communicate, dummies!
I think he got panicked. They always miscommunicate but somehow it works. Like even their relationship started with a horrible miscommunication. Yiyoung is an expert in assuming nonsense and Kang's biggest superpower is saying the completely wrong thing.
You can't reach the heart of someone who isn't there's to begin with.
