* ISurrenderSuckers: Once she’s confronted by Hwajin and Junbin over her company dropping her, she lets out a VillainousBreakdown until they bring up that she still has to apologize to Euhjin and face her crimes. She admits she’ll do just that but not without pulling a SlasherSmile. But once she meets up with Euhjin, she does back on her word and states she’ll clear all of the “misunderstanding” of their “friendship” and asks if she’s ever done anything wrong. But Hanrim is quick to notice that she has a recording pen and correctly deduces that she’s using it to make it look like Euhjin is the bad guy.

* VitriolicBestBuds:
** Throughout the story, Gangseok acts like a BadBoss to Hwajin, will psychically hit and curse him out, but deep down they do care for each other like any other friends.
*** Gangseok’s first scene alone is him kicking Hwajin away [[BerserkButton for daring to address him as “dad”.]] But they later have a calm talk about the TRPA walking on thin ice while mourning over Gangseok’s daughter, Gayoon. Both he and Hwajin enjoy smoking, but Gangseok is an avid CigarChomper while Hwajin prefers cigarettes, but he has no problem liting one for Hwajin.
*** Gangseok rejects Hwajin’s resignation letter because he firmly believes there will be no TRPA without him. Another reason is because Hwajin had a RageBreakingPoint and NoHoldsBarredBeatdown towards a gangster using Gayoon as a mascot. Hwajin felt great despair at what he had done and gave the resignation letter in case he ever defaulted to murder in protect the TRPA, but Gangseok responds by tearing up the letter.
