Janu arrives at Wendy’s apartment for a pre-festival gathering with Tami and Lina. Wendy is initially flustered by the presence of guests in her home, leading to a tense exchange where she accuses Lina of freeloading. Janu steps out of the apartment to accept a phone call from Ryu, whom he had invited as his "plus one."
Despite Wendy's anxiety about hosting an unexpected visitor, Janu clarifies that Ryu is not one of his students. He meets Ryu in the lobby, where she is visibly nervous about the prospect of meeting Tami Chura, whom she idolizes. Janu manages to reassure her, and they return to the apartment. Upon entering, Ryu is overcome with excitement to meet Tami, eventually revealing that they were classmates eight years ago. Tami is kind to Ryu, praising her appearance and putting her at ease.
As the group settles, Wendy explains her ongoing apartment renovations and mentions that her cats are sequestered in the bedroom due to Tami’s allergies. The mood shifts when Janu receives an unexpected video call from Juna, who is feeling alienated at her own gathering and asks to join Janu instead. Janu firmly denies her request, advising her to stay with her friends, and ends the call, leaving Juna disappointed.
