A Struggling Cafe and the Owner's Philosophy00:00:08

Seol works at her aunt's cafe, which is quiet during the day but busier at night as a lounge bar. She and Yu Bin discuss the lack of customers, especially compared to the crowded cafe next door. Yu Bin reassures Seol that the owner cherishes the cafe, as it was her long-time dream.

Seol's Career Worries and Aunt's Advice00:01:50

Seol expresses her uncertainty about her future, reflecting on her past lack of dreams. Her aunt, who attended a good university, advises her to have courage and confidence, suggesting that these qualities are more important than school connections for her current aspirations.

The Private Social Media Account and Seol's Suggestion00:03:29

Seol's friend asks about her aunt's MBTI, while Seol discovers the cafe's social media account is private. Seol confronts her aunt about it, who explains it's due to the risks of being a women-only bar. Seol suggests making the account public and offers to manage it, emphasizing that operating secretly hinders discoverability, but her aunt refuses to change her 'philosophy'.

Friends' Visit and Lively Debate00:07:07

Seol's friends visit the still-quiet cafe. They engage in a debate about celebrity preferences, specifically between Cate Blanchett and Kristen Stewart, with playful banter about their differing tastes. They encourage Seol to join social media more actively, teasing her about her current lack of online presence.
