Yeri comes out of her room with sleepy eyes.
Areum is the first to see her. "You aren't feeling sleepy?" She asks as Yeri sits beside her.
"Where's daddy and Miss Joanne? I can't sleep without both of them," she says.
"They'll be back soon," Areum tells her.
Seungha joins them with two plates of food in his hands.
"Do you want to eat with us?" Areum asks.
Yeri nods her head. Seungha puts the plates down and goes to fetch another pair of chopsticks.
Yeri eats with Areum and Seungha eats alone. They are almost done eating when Areum suddenly notices discoloured blotches appearing on Yeri's face.
She drops her chopsticks noisily. "Yeri, what happened to your face?" Yeri doesn't respond as she starts to itch her body.
"Seungha, what do we do?" Areum asks in fear.
"I'll wake mum up. Go and call someone outside."
"We can't leave her," Areum complains.
"Wait till I call mum them," he says.
As soon as Soora joins them, Areum rushes out to call any of those in charge.
Writer Han chugs down a bottle of water. She sighs as she walks aimlessly around the compound. The sound of a car driving in catches her attention. She sees Minju coming out and she checks her wrist watch for the time.
It's half past one a.m. Minju sees her and bows slightly before walking past her.
"Help! Help!"
Areum's voice catches their attention. Minju rushes to her. "What happened?" He asks. Han also joins him m
They wait for her to catch her breath. "Yeri, she," Areum pauses to breathe but writer Han yanks her by the arm. "Go on!" She yells.
"We were having egg fried rice and she -"
Writer Han snaps. "What do you mean egg fried rice? Why was she eating when she's supposed to be sleeping? Where is she now?" She roars.
Wordlessly, Areum leads her to their side of the villa.
"I'll call producer Kang and the rest," Minju says. He goes in the other direction. He's not entirely sure what's going on. Why was Yeri at the Ma's place? Did the Oh family go out?
He hurries to the residence of the crew and tries to locate where everyone is.
Seeing their doors are locked, he calls assistant producer Lee.

"Who's calling?" Chaeri asks when she notices that Lee is rejecting a call for the third time and is about to switch off his phone.
"It's Mr Yu Minju," he says.
"Wait a minute," she says and collects the phone from him. She walks a few distance away and calls him back.
"I told you we have a shoot."
Minju is forced to look at the caller ID again when he hears her voice.
"There's been an issue," he says.
"Did they catch the person who broke in?" She asks.
Minju has almost forgotten about that. "That's not why I called," he says. "I think Yeri has an allergic reaction."
"Sorry?" Chaeri shouts. She instantly disconnects and rushes to the crew.
"Cut! Cut! Time out! We have an emergency! Call an ambulance!" She shouts.
She isn't patient enough to explain what's going on so everyone just follows her including the couple.
They get to the Ma's apartment. She is somewhat relieved to see Yeri sleeping in Writer Han's arms.
Everyone watches as they whisper among themselves trying to find out what happened.
Oh Dongkuk can't keep his cool however.
"She had an allergic reaction. We had no idea she was allergic to eggs," Soora explains.
Dongkuk rushes over to her and collects her from writer Han. He studies her face noticing the blotches fading out.
"Father," she calls weakly. He cradles her in his arms.
"This is all you producers' fault," Dongkuk says.
"Ohh! Is it?" Writer Han says blankly as she rises to her feet.
"Mr Oh! Please don't say that! It was this lady that gave her medicine," Soora says.
"How did you know she's allergic to eggs?" Joanne asks finally speaking since she joined them.
"Perhaps you mentioned it in the form," Han says with a shrug.
"And how did you get the medicine for the allergy?" Dongkuk asks.
Writer Han hesitates. Telling the truth wasn't going to help neither was lieing to them. Should she tell them simply that she also had the same allergy? Or should she lie that she took the medicine from their apartment?
"What do you mean, Mr Oh Dongkuk? We know the risk that comes with having shows like this. We already prepared before hand. It's Zyrtec brand you use for her, right?" Chaeri says.
"How?" Dongkuk and Joanne are clearly surprised.
"Please we hope you can be more trusting of us," Chaeri says with a bow. The others bow in turns. The Ma family also bows in apology.

Minju looks at Chaeri as if trying to decipher her. She has managed to keep things under control even after going through a lot that night.
"Producer Kang," he calls and her eyes meet his briefly. He waves her bag in her direction. She smiles at him gratefully.
He had tried calling her while he was in her apartment and had been surprised to hear her phone ring while he was there.
"Thank you very much!" She says sincerely. "I must have forgotten it after dialling the emergency number."
She collects it from him.
"You did well, producer Kang," he says giving her a genuine smile.
Chaeri is deeply affected by his reaction. "What is this?" She mutters to herself.
