Kitty organizes Chuseok dinner for everyone

As a result, a lot of students say yes to the party, but Kitty forgot that she would have to cook for all of them. Luckily, she gets Min Ho’s assistance in making traditional Korean food for everyone. The party begins in the evening and a lot of people arrive there, including Professor Alex and Professor Lee. In the beginning, Kitty raises a toast to all their ancestors and thanks her mother for giving her an opportunity to be on this planet and at K.I.S.S.

Everything was fine, but a dish made up of cheese irks Professor Lee and he slams Kitty for not taking things seriously. She says that kids of this age just don’t give a damn about anything and forget their manners. He concludes by saying that these are the reasons why he never had any children. Professor Alex gets really annoyed and leaves the party.

Kitty follows him and apologizes to him for not having the evening like she wanted it to be. She makes it clear that she wanted to talk about something really important. Alex stops her and tells her the truth that Professor Lee is his “father”. Kitty is shocked to learn that because if Lee is his father, it means he is her father as well.

Who is Alex's father?

The episode ends with Yuri’s mother burning a picture of her and Kitty’s mother that was taken when they were in college. Meanwhile, Alex gets shocked when Kitty says “our mom” in front of him.

Will she tell the whole truth to Alex? How will they be able to confront Professor Lee about the situation? Things are getting intense for Kitty and people around her.
