Episode 5 of Spirit Fingers picks up right where episode 4 left off, with Song U-yeon and Nam Gi-jeong deciding to be friends. Gi-jeong agrees to this reluctantly, as despite his feelings for her, U-yeon still can’t understand why he likes her.

Meanwhile, Gi-jeong’s sister, Nam Geu-rin, also asks Koo Seon-ho to be just her friend, but he rejects her proposal. From there, the story follows the tangled relationships each of them are willingly or unwillingly navigating.

As time passes, the members of Spirit Fingers begin preparing for their next gathering. However, U-yeon is busy with her upcoming exams. She’s determined to do well so that she can convince her mother to officially allow her to continue attending Spirit Fingers meetings.

Because of this, she skips the next club gathering. Still, Gi-jeong makes sure she doesn’t feel left out. He takes photos of the members during the meeting and sends them to her so she can draw from them and feel like she’s part of it.

U-yeon promises Gi-jeong that they’ll meet the day her exams end, and he’s thrilled by it. He becomes restless, unable to sleep out of excitement.

When the day finally comes, he’s sleep-deprived after waiting for so long and accidentally oversleeps. U-yeon finishes her exam and waits outside the school for over an hour, but he doesn’t show up. While waiting, she’s confronted by a group of bullies who begin harassing her.

When Gi-jeong wakes up and realizes he’s late, he panics and rushes to the school but can’t find her. Desperate, he runs all around town looking for her. Meanwhile, a girl named An Ye-rim, who likes Gi-jeong, is revealed to the one behind U-yeon’s bullies. She manipulates the bullies into tormenting her.

However, when the bullying begins, Ye-rim pretends to save U-yeon. Planning to harm her Ye-rim acts kind and friendly hiding her jealousy over Gi-jeong’s affection for U-yeon. It begins to rain while U-yeon spends time with Ye-rim, unaware of her true intentions.

When U-yeon returns home, she finds Gi-jeong standing in front of her building, drenched from the rain, waiting for her. Seeing his state, she realizes something must have happened and understands that he hasn’t intentionally stand her up.

Gi-jeong rushes to her, flustered, apologizing over and over, explaining that he fell asleep and no one woke him. He is devastated about missing their meeting. Instead of being angry, U-yeon worries that he might catch a cold and tells him to take medicine.

But Gi-jeong just asks to spend some time with her. As they talk, she asks why he waited in the rain instead of going home. He tells her simply, because he just likes her. She asks why he likes her, and he replies, “I just do.” Then he asks if she likes him back. U-yeon is flustered and unable to respond. Seeing her hesitation, Gi-jeong suggests they should kiss. The episode 5 ends at that moment, leaving her stunned.

Episode 6 of Spirit Fingers begins right where episode 5 has ended. Gi-jeong suggesting that maybe they should kiss. U-yeon, overwhelmed and embarrassed, refuses and runs off. Afterwards, she is confused and conflicted unsure why she reacts that way and questioning why he even wants to kiss her.

She still doesn’t believe that he truly likes her, because of her insecurities and low self-esteem. Later, U-yeon discusses the situation with her girlfriends. They tell her that she should have tested her feelings toward him instead of running away, leaving her even more confused.

As days go by, they continue to hang out as friends, though there’s an awkward tension between them. Gi-jeong grows restless and confides in his own friends, who advise him to act cool and distant. At the next Spirit Fingers meeting, he follows their advice and ignores U-yeon, behaving coldly.

However, the act doesn’t last long. Two girls at the road start gossiping, calling U-yeon ugly and saying someone like her can never be with a guy as handsome as Gi-jeong. U-yeon, angered by their comments, stands up for herself and tells them that he is the one pursuing her, not the other way around. The girls don’t believe it.

Gi-jeong overhears the argument and immediately steps in, defending her and shouting, at them for messing with 'his woman'. U-yeon tells him to confirm in front of them that it’s true that he’s the one pursuing her. Without hesitation, he admits it proudly.

This moment exposes his true feelings again but also intensifies U-yeon’s inner conflict. She starts to believe that being with him will only make people mock her, questioning how someone like her can be with someone like him. Gi-jeong feels bad and apologizes, insisting that she’s beautiful, not ugly, and that she shouldn’t let others’ words affect her. But U-yeon refuses to believe him.

Soon after, her midterm results come out, and she performs well. Her newfound confidence helps her achieve this, so she finally gathers the courage to ask her mother for permission to officially join Spirit Fingers. Her mother, however, dismisses the idea, saying that only people who have been talented since childhood can become true artists. She tells U-yeon not to waste her time on such things.

This time, U-yeon doesn’t stay silent. She stands up for herself, demanding to know why her mother never supports her dreams. For the first time, she confronts her mother directly, shocking her.

Overwhelmed by emotion, U-yeon locks herself in her room and cries while her mother bangs on the door, asking her to come out and talk. Her little brother, a young prodigy, witnesses everything and grows worried that his sister might run away.

Meanwhile, Gi-jeong, unable to reach U-yeon over the phone, becomes increasingly anxious. Fearing for her, he comes to her building and falls asleep in his sleeping bag outside her apartment.

The next morning, U-yeon leaves early for school before her mother wakes up. Her little brother sees her and makes her promise to return home right after school and not to run away. She reassures him that she won’t.

However, her eyes are swollen from crying all night. When she steps outside, she spots Gi-jeong asleep under her building. She wakes him up, surprised and touched.

Gi-jeong immediately notices her puffy eyes and worries, asking who has made her cry, promising to make them cry instead. Hearing this, U-yeon breaks down again, touched by his concern.

Seeing her cry, Gi-jeong is momentarily speechless. He gently leans forward and kisses her tear-stained eyes to comfort her. At that moment, episode 6 of Spirit Fingers comes to an end.
