My Girlfriend is the Man! Episode 7 Recap: Min Joo moves in with Yoon Jae
Min Joo moves into the same apartment building as Ji Hoon, and eventually, both Ji Hoon and Yoon Jae help her carry her things. However, as Min Joo keeps turning to Yoon Jae for help, Ji Hoon, feeling jealous, quickly steps in and aggressively takes over so Yoon Jae can’t get close to her.
Realizing Ji Hoon’s jealousy, Yoon Jae grows tense and walks on eggshells around him but still helps her under Ji Hoon’s deadly glare.
Later that night, while talking with his father, Yoon Jae listens as he gives him love advice: “Face it head-on, don’t run from it.” Yoon Jae admits to himself that he wants to, with Kim Ji Eun.
Remembering her words, “Do you think you can live without me? I think I can,” he looks at their photos and imagines her fading away.

Will Ji Hoon finally start writing again?
Ji Hoon heads to the bookstore to look for books on “how to write web novels,” motivated by Yu Ri’s encouragement for him to continue writing in previous episodes. When someone recommends a book, she goes further and suggests he enter a web novel competition.
However, Ji Hoon brushes it off, insisting he only writes as a hobby. The woman pushes back, pointing out that every success often begins as a hobby and can grow into something greater. Before leaving, she urges him to at least start by writing about himself, then bids him goodbye.

Festival Act: Chaos Between Min Joo, Yoon Jae & Ji Hoon
Min Joo invites Ji Hoon to join the Hanok Village Autumn Festival as a couple for a performance act, dressed in Hanbok, traditional Korean clothing. The first act is successful, but just before the second, Ji Hoon finds out that Yoon Jae is coming and runs away, not wanting to face him while looking like a young master. Yoon Jae immediately realizes why—they had both wanted to wear Hanbok together as part of their bucket list date.
With Ji Hoon gone, Min Joo quickly asks Yoon Jae to step in for the second act. However, when they’re asked to kiss on stage, Ji Hoon suddenly returns and interrupts, ruining the performance. Thankfully, they improvise, turning the act into a playful fight over Min Joo, even pretending to “kill” Yoon Jae to end the act.
Meanwhile, frustrated by Hong Young Seok’s silence, Kim Ji Hye fakes an accident—saying someone was following her and she sprained her ankle—to catch his attention and make him worry. Thus, Young Seok hurries to her, accompanies her to the bus stop, and eventually takes a taxi to ensure she gets home safely.
