Episode 4 of Spooky in Love begins with Yeo-ri trying to calm both Gang-uk and the spirit of a young boy. Instead of running away, she patiently speaks to the ghost and follows where he wants to go. The child leads them into the woods, where they discover an overturned car from a terrible accident.

As they look inside the vehicle, they find that the boy is dead while his father is still alive despite injuries. To stop the father from losing hope, Yeo-ri tells him that his son is safe. They call the paramedics for help, and the father is taken for his treatment.

The boy's ghost then urges Yeo-ri to check the car once again. Yeo-ri is horrified to find the boy’s younger sister still trapped inside. The rescuers quickly pull her out and rush her to the hospital. A flashback then reveals that during the crash, the little boy protected his sister, sacrificing himself to keep her safe.

Once the family is out of danger, the boy's spirit finds peace and says goodbye to Gang-uk and Yeo-ri. While this is normal for Yeo-ri, Gang-uk was deeply affected by this and asks Yeo-ri how she ended up being connected to spirits.

She finally tells the painful truth about her abilities. Years ago, Yeo-ri nearly died after falling from a yacht during high school. Although she survived, her close friend Ji-hwan lost his life in the accident. After that tragedy, she began seeing his spirit and later started seeing ghosts everywhere.

Episode 4 of Spooky in Love continues, and Yeo-ri also explains to Gang-uk that anyone she touches temporarily gains the ability to see spirits. Because of this, rumors spread, and she was isolated in college and lived a lonely life.

Feeling guilty for passing this burden to Gang-uk, she apologizes and says he will continue seeing ghosts for about a month. Although she decides they should stay apart until then, Gang-uk gently holds her hand, showing that he understands the lonely life she has endured for so many years.
