Min-kyu laughs in relief and asks the TV for a movie with robots. Min-kyu next shares his troubles with Robovac and puzzles over what he put into her memory to cause such a response when he has a revelation - Aji-3 got the idea during his session with Sun-hye. Min-kyu stares at the stuffed animal that he bought for Jia, outfitted in her “Pretty One” hat, and asks, “Why did you do that to me?” He vents to the umbrella, “I can’t believe that after all this time, a robot stole my first kiss.” She blames him for the fact that she got carried away. Baek-gyun drops Jia off at home but she retreats to a park where she cringes in private until she remembers how Min-kyu gushed about her umbrella. Mink-kyu looks dazed as he stumbles into his house with the umbrella, which reminds him of the kiss. The man turns out to be Yoo-cul, who doesn’t immediately answer her question, “What’s so urgent?” Ri-el walks into a hotel bar and scolds a man already seated for calling her while she was on a date. Baek-gyun returns with an umbrella and asks Min-kyu, “Where’s your first love?”

Jia promises not to do it again but is confused when he asks, “Who said you shouldn’t?” She wonders aloud, “Then, should I do that again,” but Min-kyu is so confused that he doesn’t know what he wants. Min-kyu jumps away and demands to know why she kissed him.

He confesses that he imagined his first kiss many times after hearing it compared to the taste of apples or a flower in spring, but he never imagined that it would be with a robot. That forces her to continue as Aji-3’s stand-in while Min-kyu establishes what he thinks is a necessary distance.ĮPISODE 13: “A first kiss tastes of apples”Īs Jia’s lips softly touch Min-kyu’s, he narrates how much he’s missed the warmth of another human.
