In Episode 8 of 'Queen of Tears', Eun-seong finds out Hae-in is sick with a cancerous disease. While sitting alone, he remembers when they were kids and he saved her from a dog. Even though his mom ignored him, Hae-in thanked him and cleaned his hurt knee.

He still wears her necklace from that day. Initially, it seems he likes Hae-in. However, it quickly becomes apparent that he's trying to be involved with her to get Queens Group.

Meanwhile, Hae-in doesn't know Eun-seong is following her around and keeping tabs on her through her driver. In one scene, Hae-in comes back home, and she gets mad when he questions her whereabouts. But she puts a limit there.

Hae-in then tells Eun-seong that now she even refuses to work with a company he suggested because she doesn't want to owe him anything.

On the other hand, Hyun-woo figures out Eun-seong is following Hae-in and knows she's sick. He also realizes Eun-seong is the son of Hae-in's friend Moh Seul-hee, thanks to a special watch.
