Ranker’s Return (Remake): Chapter 97 Recap

Hyun Woo met his friends after a long time, and his friends were quite upset that he cut off all communication with them for a long time. Hyun Woo and his friends get some drinks and begin to celebrate their long-awaited reunion.
Just as everyone is having a good time, Jung Haebak arrives at the venue, and everyone is taken aback since no one expected him to come. Haebak begins to show off his fortune and fame blatantly while everyone looks at him in awe. Haebak goes as far as to show off his designer clothes and a new sports car that he bought with him.
Haebak brings up the topic of how he met Hyun Woo at a department store the last time, and he was working part-time because of his family’s downfall. Haebak was sure that his friends were only nice to Hyun Woo because he was rich, and they would isolate him when they found out that his family had fallen bankrupt. To Haebak’s shock, everyone is extremely sympathetic and reprimands Hyun Woo for not even letting him help.
Hyun Woo consoles everyone and lets them know that he has managed to pay all the debt and his family is doing quite well now. Hyun Woo then takes off his puffer jacket to reveal the designer suit and watch he was wearing underneath. Haebak is mortified when he realizes that his plan did not go the intended way and is extremely confused about how Hyun Woo managed to pay off the massive debt so quickly.
