When Park Sung-hoon walks into the café, Lee Ki-taek snaps, "You're here again," making his displeasure plain and setting a tense tone from their very first encounter.
Park fires back, "Looks like the staff greets some customers and not others," sharply calling out Lee's frosty behavior. Despite the awkward tension, Park orders four iced Americanos to-go, keeping the exchange strictly businesslike.
Lee admits that his earlier claim of being a "cousin" was, unintentionally, untrue. Park shrugs it off with a calm, "Doesn't matter."
Lee subtly brags that he knows Eui-young (played by Han Ji-min) well, recommending the "choco-ro" item because she likes chocolate. When Park orders a carrot cake alongside the chocolate, Lee quips, "Chocolate is my heart," using the dessert as a metaphor for his feelings toward Eui-young.
Park flatly rebuffs Lee: "The cake is for just the two of us," underscoring his claim to one-on-one time with Eui-young and sending the rivalry to a peak.
