Ji-hwan leaves his house, and Hyun-woo drives Eun-ha to her home and warns her not to trust Ji-hwan since he has a criminal past.
The episode reveals that Hyun-woo has already met Ji-hwan and witnessed him covered in blood after a vicious gang attack that hurt innocent bystanders. Hyun-woo drops Eun-ha off at her house and then heads directly to Ji-hwan's residence to grab her suitcase and head out. This leaves Ji-hwan contemplating his decision and realizing that Eun-ha will be safer on the streets than at his house.
Later, Ji-hwan asks Eun-ha to come back to his house and stay there till she finds a place for herself after she gets into an altercation at a sauna. Eun-ha agrees, but she demands that he provide her with a job because she doesn't want to stay there for free. So, Ji-hwan hires her as a tutor for his group members (former goons), although a few of them aren't pleased with the arrangement.
At the end of episode 5 of My Sweet Mobster, Ji-hwan and Eun-ha talk about the boy Eun-ha met when she was a kid.

In episode 6 of My Sweet Mobster, Eun-ha meets prosecutor Hyun-woo, who romantic love sentiments for Eun-ha. Meanwhile, Eun-ha assumes that Hyun-woo is the boy she has been searching for for years and asks him if he knows anything about the boy from her past. Before Hyun-woo has a chance to respond, he receives a call regarding the disappearance of a boy and rushes there.
The next day, Eun-ha goes with Ji-hwan's company members and assists the female employees with packing meat as they tackle a huge workload. She finds out about Ji-hwan's generosity and kindness from the female employees, which leads her to have a change of opinion about Ji-hwan.
Meanwhile, Eun-ha asks one of Ji-hwan's group members where she can find more packaging material. The member intentionally sends her to the wrong location at the company in hopes that she will get to spend more time with Ji-hwan. This stemmed from the fact that Ji-hwan's group members suspected the two of having romantic feelings for each other.
Eun-ha reaches the room and sees Ji-hwan, while the group member locks the room from outside. However, he ends up losing the key accidentally and doesn't realize it much later. Meanwhile, it is revealed that the room that Ji-hwan and Eun-ha get locked in is the company's freezer, and the temperature drops by the minute.
