Private Notes
It’s the summer of 2009 and Cheong Ah is a senior in high school who is the second of three daughters. Her parents run a small chicken restaurant while her older sister is a news anchor. Cheong Ah doesn’t have any hopes or dreams, and no one knows why, except for a friend she has only talked to via text messages. She skips school and gets on a train to go meet him where she runs into a handsome soldier.
The friend Cheong Ah plans to meet at the train station is Joon Kyum, a boy from a well-off family. The two teens plan to commit suicide together. They enjoy their last meal together and return to the small room they have rented, where Cheong Ah falls asleep. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, Joon Kyum is gone and only a letter remains. Cheong Ah calls her mom for help, who tells her to make everything look like an accident.
Cheong Ah must make a witness statement at the police station about Joon Kyum’s death, but she is still in shock. Her mom takes the lead, making things up as she goes. Judge Hong comes to the police station after identifying her son’s body. She is not only upset about her son’s death, but also suspicious of Cheong Ah’s story.
At home, Cheong Ah confesses why she wanted to end her life. Meanwhile, Seol Ah is searching for a fashion brand that will sponsor her wardrobe, but to no avail. However, Jin Woo overhears Seol Ah talking to the store employee and decides to sponsor her wardrobe personally. Finally, Cheong Ah must sneak out Joon Kyum’s letter from police evidence.
While Cheong Ah is on her way out of the police station with Joon Kyum’s letter, Judge Hong bursts in wearing her pajamas.

Later on, the police come to search Cheong Ah’s room.
Seol Ah sees her mom trying to hide Cheong Ah and Joon Kyum’s phones. She tells her mom that an inquiry at the phone service provider will reveal the call and text histories anyway.

Chairwoman Hong, Jun Gyeom's aunt, takes her anger out on Cheong Ah. Meanwhile, Seol Ah goes on a blind date, but the man who shows up is not the person she expected to see.
Seol Ah’s blind date turns out to be better than she expected. However, when she comes home, she figures out that her date is related to Jun Gyeom.
