Remembering what happened between him and his former manager, Rex tells Sang-mi about the time when he was kidnapped. Sang-mi asks Sang-hyeon about Rex’s kidnapping incident. Perplexed, Sang-hyeon tells Hee-su to leave the room, but Hee-su pauses on her way out and eavesdrops on the story. Hee-su asks Rex why he told the story to Sang-mi, rather than to her, and if he doesn’t trust her. Rex hurts her feelings by accusing her of only lip-synching on stage when she says she wants to be a real singer. Hee-su responds that she can now leave him without regret. Sang-mi is touched to see Hyeok-ju, who is there to pick her up, and feels happy thinking that he has read her mind. President Choi tells Sang-hyeon not to schedule any interviews with Gangster and keep them under wraps till their actual debut. While practicing his upcoming performance at the waiting room on the day of Gangster’s debut, Hyeok-ju receives a text message from Hee-su, but he ignores it. Gangster’s debut is a huge success. The members share the rapturous gratification of their debut with one another. Hee-su asks President Choi to give her a chance to perform live on stage and says she is willing to take a vocal test. While reading fan letters sent to Rex, Sang-mi finds a letter from a prison and hurriedly goes to Rex with it.
