Ju-yeon never forgot 'Strawberry' (Su-jeong). When Su-jeong dumped him in middle school upon discovering he was younger, it broke his heart and fueled his lifelong determination to mature into someone worthy of her respect. In the present, corporate tension peaks when Ju-yeon's greedy relatives and corrupt director Park Ji-chul attempt to derail the department store renewal project and frame Ju-yeon for corporate negligence. Su-jeong and Ju-yeon utilize retail data and authentic cultural collaborations to turn the project into a triumph.
When Chairwoman Hyo-seon attempts to exile Ju-yeon, he uncovers letters proving his late father supported his dreams. Confronted with the truth, the Chairwoman breaks down, confessing that she blamed Ju-yeon only because she could not forgive herself for being unable to save her son. In the resolution, Ju-yeon steps into his leadership role proudly embracing his eccentricities, openly sponsoring indie music and gaming ventures under the 'Black Flame Dragon' brand. Su-jeong turns down an overseas posting to continue leading Yongseong's innovations on her own terms. In the final sequence, Ju-yeon gifts Su-jeong a keepsake necklace, and the two share a tender kiss beneath an umbrella, celebrating their full-circle journey from online gamers to life partners.
