Ji-eun tries to talk to Young-jae about their relationship but her efforts are unsuccessful. Young-jae's father finds out Ji-eun married his son for money. He asks her to leave/end the relationship. Grandmother won't forgive Ji-eun. She asks Young-jae for a divorce. She says Young-jae doesn't know how to love/care/protect someone. When Young-jae asks her if Min-hyuk can take care/love her, she says yes. Thinking he has nothing else to offer Ji-eun, Young-jae sets her free and gives her a divorce. Hye-won tells Ji-eun Young-jae is in love with Ji-eun.
Young-jae catches Min-hyuk and Ji-eun at the back. Ji-eun is upset that Young-jae has left the Full House. Min-hyuk says she can always meet him. But Ji-eun says Young-jae told her not to call. He's such a jerk, she says. Min-hyuk offers to beat Young-jae up. But Ji-eun says she's a good fighter too and how Young-jae always gets beat up. She so sad, Min-hyuk wipes away her tears.
The next day, Ji-eun goes to Young-jae's room, missing him. When he opens the door, though, she sees him there, sleeping. She rubs her eyes to make sure she's not hallucinating. She goes on to wake up Young-jae. "What's wrong with you? Why are you bothering a sleeping person?" And Ji-eun asks him how he's supposed to be moving out and Young-jae says if she's up already, she should go make breakfast. (Hehe)
Young-jae makes an excuse and says something went wrong with the apartment. Ji-eun also makes an excuse and says she has business to take care of which is why she didn't go to Venice with Min-hyuk.
Ji-eun tries to talk to Young-jae about their relationship.
JiEun: Lee YOungjae sshi.. (no respone from YJ) Lee YoungJae sshi??
YJ: What??
JiEun: i've been thinking..
YJ: wow, i never knew chickens could think. How amazing. (sarcastically)
JiEun: (tries to keep her patience) i don't understand why you're so mean to be these days.. After you always criticizing me, i felt kind of bad when i left for the airport.
YJ: ...
JiEun: so, let's try to talk to over. Why are you like that? What did i do wrong that is such a big problem to you? What's wrong?
YJ: i don't like to have conversations with a chicken. I just want to get a divorce and leave after all this so just let it be.
JiEun: Don't be like that. let's try to talk..
YJ: I said no. I don't like to talk to stupid people like you.
JiEun: STUPID?
YJ: you're always changing you're mind. one minute you're crying and the next minute you're all happy.
JiEun: what in the world are you talking about?
YJ: what's wrong with you?!? How long has it been since i left home?!? was it a day?? or was it even two days?! Then you bring another guy into this house? Han JiEun, i didn't know you were that kind of girl! are u that kind of girl? what's wrong with you?!?
JiEun: Excuse me?
YJ: (regrets saying all this) never mind.. forget it..
JiEun: You knew MH was here yesterday? how did you know?? (YJ doesn't respond)
Yoon MinHyuk sshi was just taking me home..
YJ: It doesn't matter. Did i say anthing? What i'm saying is.. good luck with MH. I don't care if you go out with him. Remember? we promised to stay out of each other's business.
YJ: Dragging a guy into a house without anyone is a bad thing.. (hahah he's so cute!)
JiEun: (mad) What??? drag in?? If you didn't like me "dragging" in MH to our house, why don't you bring HW into our house too? i don't care!!
YJ: what??!?!?!?!?!
JiEun: and plus, it's not like you've never been to her house? You went to her house and ate nangchae (his favorite food)
YJ: Why are you dragging that into this conversation?? And, HW and I have been knowing each other for 15 years. I always went to her house as a young kid. But how long have you known MH? It's not like you've known each other for a long time.. you were so happy and laughing along stupidly. you sure looked fuunny..
JiEun: Time doesn't matter between a man and a woman. How well they get along is important.
YJ: Of course time is important. It's just that you're stupid...
JiEun: What?? stupid???????
YJ: ..
JiEun: that's it. I don't like to have conversations with wang ssah gajis. me, stupid? (gets up)
YJ: did you just figure out that you were stupid??????
Ji-eun goes off and the doorbell rings. Young-jae opens the door and he's surprised to see Min-hyuk. He's brought flowers for Ji-eun.
Young-jae lies and tells Min-hyuk Ji-eun isn't home. He grabs the flowers and says he'll just give it to her. And he says how he wants to let Min-hyuk in but he has to go out soon too and just before he could close the door on Min-hyuk, Ji-eun says "Is someone there?" And Young-jae looks like "Oh shit", hahaha.
So Min-hyuk comes inside and he tells Ji-eun Young-jae says she was out. She tries to cover up for Young-jae and says yeah, she was out and she just got in. While Ji-eun prepares drinks, Young-jae purposely rearranges their wedding picture. Hahaha.
Young-jae asks Min-hyuk if he's not busy and what he's doing there anyways. Min-hyuk says he was worried about Ji-eun (seeing that she was so upset yesterday and all). Young-jae says "Well, as you can see, Ji-eun is fine. I'm going to be home so you don't have to worry about her..." Min-hyuk asks him why he's still there and how he was supposed to move out and be with Hye-won.
Ji-eun comes in and hands out the drinks. Min-hyuk asks Young-jae how he just said a while ago he's going to go out soon. So Young-jae goes up to his closet. He changes and pretends to have received a call saying he no longer needs to go to work. But Ji-eun and Min-hyuk have decided to go for a drive. Ji-eun tells Young-jae to prepare his own meal because she'll be dining out with Min-hyuk. Just before Ji-eun gets into Min-hyuk's car, Young-jae tells Ji-eun not to go. "You're... supposed to do your house cleaning today!"
"I'll clean when I get back, sheesh..."
But Young-jae says "Han Ji-eun, don't go... If You go right now... (and Ji-eun looks at him) who's going to give me food?"
So Ji-eun apologizes to Min-hyuk saying "It seems I can't go. I'm really sorry."
At the Full House, with Ji-eun cleaning, Young-jae asks Ji-eun why he didn't leave. She tells him "Well, you told me to clean." And then she adds how she remembered the time when she went to Young-jae's primiere and she told him not to go but he still went with Hye-won anyway. She says it made her feel bad and he didn't want Young-jae to feel the same way.
So Young-jae promises her "That won't ever happen again..." [awww]
While Ji-eun is cleaning the windows, Young-jae comes over and helps her out. They're so cute. And he looks at her and he says she has some dirt on her face and she ought to close her eyes. When she does, Young-jae tries to kiss Ji-eun but then someone rings the doorbell and he's all "What the... Hahaha, be right back"
Young-jae gets the door and it's Dong-wook with Hee-jin. They've come to return the rest of Young-jae's wardrobe from when he tried to move out. Dong-wook says Young-jae shouldn't go to the office for a while since there are reporters asking about his marriage. Young-jae tells Dong-wook not to mention this to Ji-eun.
But Hee-jin has already told the story to Ji-eun. The reports are that she's a swindler, marrying Young-jae for money especially since Young-jae went and paid Ji-eun's credit card off.
Young-jae's father is approached by a reporter and he learns about the whole deal. He's infuriated and goes to visit Young-jae and Ji-eun at the Full House.
Young-jae notices Ji-eun is gloomy. When he asks her what it's about she tells him it's becuase of the news that she married Young-jae for money. Young-jae tells her not to think too much about it. And he tries to kiss her again but then someone rings the doorbell again and he's all "What the..."
This time, it's his father by the door. Ji-eun apologizes to Young-jae's father. He's so mad a Young-jae, for dropping out of med school, becoming an actor, moving out of the house and then this. But Young-jae says it's how he wants to live his life and his father ought to stay away from his business. His father is so mad he starts to hit Young-jae. Ji-eun tries to stop Father and gets in the middle of things. She's crying and all, saying it's all her fault.
Father and Ji-eun talk separately in a coffee shop. Again, she apologizes. He says she probably has her reasons but that he refuses to accept how she could deceive them like that. He tells her she's not his daughter anymore and that he'd like it if he didn't see him anymore. He asks Ji-eun to just leave the relationship.
Back at home, Young-jae is upset. Ji-eun tells him he should've just apologized. She asks him to go and eat but he's not really in the mood. Ji-eun says that if he won't eat then she won't eat either. So Young-jae eats dinner so Ji-eun doesn't go hungry.
Ji-eun tries to cheer Young-jae up and offers to tell another joke. Young-jae says he'd rather not hear it. (Hehe) but he agrees to hearing it anyways. Ji-eun laughs at her own joke and Young-jae is just staring at her. "Not funn?" "Very funny. I'm going to die from laughter (sarcastically)"
Young-jae asks Ji-eun if she's okay. He reminds her how he told her it would be difficult. He says it's why he bought her all the flowers before. And he says he's going to keep buying flowers for her.
But Ji-eun says how sorry she is. She says she'll go to Ilsan to apologize. Young-jae tells her not to go so she won't be hurt but the next day she still goes to Ilsan. Grandmother won't talk to her, though. She's crying and begging Grandmother for forgiveness but she refuses to even see Ji-eun.
Min-hyuk gets a call from Ji-eun. She's at the park crying. She tells Min-hyuk how the time she married Young-jae she didn't realize it was wrong but now she realizes how very wrong it was. "I never meant it to go like this. I don't know where things went wrong." Then she goes to say how she really loved Young-jae's family and how very sad she feels right now. "I feel so horrible I think I'm going crazy".
Young-jae is waiting for Ji-eun. He hears a car coming on the driveway. Young-jae is mad that Ji-eun went and met with Min-hyuk again. Ji-eun explains that she and Min-hyuk just talked about some things. Young-jae asks her what it is that she can't talk to him about.
YJ: come on, say it! why can't you say it?? What, did he ask you to go on vacation with him again?? or did he ask you to Kiss again?? is that it??
JIEun: Excuse me?? What did you just say?!?
YJ: I'm really sorry. Because of me, you guys can't even get together. All because of me! You can't even get a divorce because of me! I'm really sorry (sarcastically)You guys must hate me!
JiEun...
YJ: come on! tell me what you guys talked about?
JIEun: i told him that i'm tired and fustrated. (Yj's slightly taken back)
YJ: Why are you so tired? Tired about what??
JiEun: Because of you. You're always hurting me..
YJ: (shocked) what?
JIEun: do you know how much i cried after i met you? Even when i'm hurting like this and i feel so tired, you're asking me why i'm tired? Tired about what??
YJ: i.. won't.. hurt you anymore. I won't make it hard for you..
JiEun: You won't hurt me??
YJ: Yes, i won't hurt you. I'll protect you..
JiEun: HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PROTECT ME?? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO PROTECT SOMEONE?? YOU THINK GIVING A CRYING PERSON ICECREAM IS A WAY OF COMFORTING OR PROTECTING THEM?!?!
YJ:....what? (omg i was so sad at this part.. stupid jieun)
JiEun:YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE SOMEONE, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SHOW LOVE, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO PROTECT SOMEONE. YOU HURT PEOPLE WITHOUT REALIZING IT.
YJ: (he's very hurt now.. god, this was sad..)
JiEun: i don't want to be hurt anymore. besides, we're married because of a contract.. it was a wrong start. let's just end it here.
YJ: what?
JiEun: Let's just end it. i want it to be over. Just go to Hye-won.
YJ:....
JiEun: ...
YJ: Han Jieun.. let me just ask you one question.
JIEun:..
YJ: MH doesn't hurt you? He makes you feel loved?
JiEun:..
YJ: can he protect/love you?
JiEun: ..yes..
note: again in my copy there's NO scene where she says "Yes". It just goes up to where Young-jae asks her if Min-hyuk can protect her. But again, it makes perfect sense that Young-jae will do what he did next because Ji-eun said Min-hyuk can protect her/love her. (i want to watch the director's cut dvd...)
The next morning, Ji-eun finds a note on the fridge that says "Good job on preparing food for me every morning and night. i really appreciated it. Be healthy. (he draws a chicken) AJA AJA FIGHTING!!" and Ji-eun gets all teary eyed.
Hye-won goes to visit Ji-eun saying how she's heard she and Young-jae have broken up. Ji-eun finally returns the ring Young-jae got for Hye-won (when he was to propose to her). She tells Hye-won to always make Young-jae smile, make him happy. Hye-won says she can't do that and she says how Young-jae is stubborn and how he can't say what's on his mind. "He can never express how he truly feels"
Ji-eun says "I know that" and Hye-won goes on saying, "Then how come you don't seem to realize he loves you. Please give Young-jae another chance."
But in Ji-eun's mind she has wronged and hurt so many people: Father, Mother and Grandmother, evern Young-jae. She says she wants to end their relationship while it's still early.
In a hotel, Young-jae prepares to give a press conference. His manager reminds him he might not be able to come back after this (meaning his popularity might not be able to recover) but he says he's ready to do it. (All for Ji-eun... awwww. Dang, the rest of this is just SO SO sad...)
Young-jae tells the press people why he called for a press conference. He tells them of a girl that he loves. "I really love that girl. She always finds hope and joy in the smallest things. When I'm with her, I'm cheerful. I've come to know what happiness means. Because I love her so much I wish to protect her. And in order to protect her, I have decided to get a divorce."
Young-jae goes to his hotel room and he starts to remember all his memories with Ji-eun. He's crying. At the Full House, Ji-eun is also remembering their good times. At the swing in the playground, the swingset at the backyard, cleaning together, at the skating rink, etc. Young-jae chokes up when he remembers Ji-eun saying "Young-jae, you take care of Hye-won, because I'll take care of you."
Young-jae speeds off in his car to leave.
(time passes) and the Full House is back to being so disorderly. Someone rings the doorbell and Ji-eun runs to open it. She sees a boquet of flowers and then she sees Min-hyuk...
