I Abandoned Our Dream College After Being His Second Choice Episode Guide

1. EP 1: A Trip for Two

   Ian returns home from a seaside graduation trip with gifts and excuses. He presents a beach dress to Jennifer, claiming Mona booked only two plane tickets. Ian shows her photos of the college apartment he rented for them, unaware of her growing detachment. Jennifer remembers the day Ian left her at the airport to board the flight with Mona. She secretly changed her enrollment to attend school in the Southern Hemisphere. When Ian steps toward her packed luggage, Jennifer tells him they are done.

2. EP 2: Secondhand Gifts

   Ian demands to know why Jennifer makes a fuss over missing the beach. He argues that Mona had never seen the ocean before. Jennifer looks at the skincare and gifts, realizing each item was an afterthought from activities Ian shared with Mona. She reminds Ian that she planned the whole itinerary and packed the bags, only to be left behind. Ian panics when Jennifer cries. He pulls her into a hug, insisting they are going to Haverbrook University together and can visit the ocean anytime.

3. EP 3: The Broken Promise

   Jennifer pushes out of Ian's embrace. She recalls past moments when Ian set her aside for Mona, from giving away her lucky pen to letting Mona blow out her eighteenth birthday candles. Jennifer states she will not attend Haverbrook University with him. Ian laughs it off, claiming they have never been apart since childhood. The conversation abruptly halts when Mona appears in the doorway. Mona claims her missing driver's license might be inside Ian's luggage.

4. EP 4: Secrets in the Suitcase

   Ian releases Jennifer's wrist to tease Mona about the luggage. Mona crouches down and enters the code to open the suitcase. When it opens, a pink lace bra falls onto the floor. Ian panics and tries to explain. Jennifer coldly tells him she will not overthink it, then walks away. In the hallway, Jennifer cries as she recognizes how close Ian and Mona really are. Ian quickly grabs Mona and the suitcase and bolts from the house in total embarrassment.

5. EP 5: Throwing Away the Past

   Ian rushes out the door with Mona, asking Jennifer to wait for him so they can attend their families' joint dinner together. Mona casts a smug look behind her. Jennifer walks over to the bookshelf and picks up a framed childhood photograph. She remembers playing house with Ian at five years old, when he placed a veil on her head and promised they would marry. Recognizing that his childhood vows mean nothing now, Jennifer drops the frame straight into the trash.

6. EP 6: An Empty Chair

   Jennifer packs her bags as her parents walk downstairs. Her mother asks if she really wants to skip Haverbrook and whether they should announce the decision at the joint dinner. Jennifer asks her mother to keep quiet so she can exit Ian's life without drama. Jennifer arrives at the restaurant where both sets of parents sit waiting. Ian is nowhere to be found. His father, Richard Lance, asks Jennifer if Ian told her why he is running so late.

7. EP 7: A Hundred Coffees

   Jennifer admits to the table that she does not know where Ian is. His parents try to brush off his absence with jokes. Jennifer's phone lights up with a new social media update from Mona. The post shows Ian standing at a coffee shop. He bought one hundred coffees on the spot to cover up Mona's mistake with an order. Classmates leave comments teasing their romance. Jennifer reads the messages and weeps silently at the table.

8. EP 8: Childhood Jokes

   Jennifer's mother spots the post and tries to stand up in anger, but Jennifer holds her arm. Jennifer insists that their families' talk about marriage was just a childhood joke. Her mother asks how years of love can be dismissed so easily. Jennifer remembers all the times Ian told her to wait, only to leave her for Mona. Halfway through the dinner, a winded Ian finally dashes into the private room.

9. EP 9: Left on the Road

   Ian asks Jennifer why she arrived alone. Jennifer replies that he would have been called away by Mona regardless. Jennifer excuses herself to go pack, and Ian insists on riding home with her. In the car, Jennifer pulls away from his touch. Ian's phone suddenly rings. He answers, speaks with urgency, and tells the driver to pull over immediately. Ian orders Jennifer to step out into the night and walk the rest of the way alone.

10. EP 10: Next Door

    Jennifer strikes her head against the seat from the sudden stop and confronts Ian for always casting her aside. Ian tries to justify picking up Mona, suggesting Mona stay in their apartment for a few days. He reveals Mona is also attending Haverbrook University. Jennifer realizes Ian went apartment hunting with Mona behind her back and rented the unit next door for Mona. Jennifer challenges his lies, leaving Ian flustered and speechless in the car.

11. EP 11: Discarded Memories

    Mona calls again, and Ian snaps at Jennifer, forcing her out onto the street before driving away. Jennifer returns home in tears and clears her room, dumping their couple shirts, matching rings, and plush toys into trash bags.
