Meanwhile, Yeom Chang Hee, the middle child, dreams of living like people in the big city who have the freedom to do anything they like and have a better career and financial situation. However, he often overthinks due to the distance between his house and his girlfriend’s house. As a result, he ended the relationship with his girlfriend.
The last child, Yeom Mi Jung, is an introvert. She tries to avoid social meetings in her office. She only gets involved when her coworkers persuade her, which makes her depressed at the end of the day.

Further, being an introvert makes her seem to accept all the actions and words of others, although the truth is she cannot accept it at all. Like her ex-boyfriend left her with his debt or her boss constantly belittles her with his words.
Furthermore, even though she is reserved, she has a strong intuition toward other people. Like she puts her trust in Mr. Gu, a stranger next door, about her ex-boyfriend’s debt.
She also has a firm principle. She doesn’t like people invading her space and pushing her to the limit. So in her case, she proposes an idea to make the Liberation Club in order not to join other clubs. Liberation Club is a club where its members are free for everything they feel and do.
