Ji-eun finds out Young-jae is the one who bought the Full House. He tends to her fever. He takes her in on the condition that she becomes the maid. Her earnings are to pay for all her debt. Young-jae is to propose to Hye-won. She reveals she likes Min-hyuk and Young-jae is unable to propose. Hye-won tells Min-hyuk she likes him but he tells her he only sees her as a sister and that Young-jae likes her very much. To get Young-jae out of the equation, Hye-won confronts Young-jae. Put in a difficult situation, Young-jae says he is in love with Ji-eun.
Ji-eun won’t give up her house so easily. But Young-jae says, "I also paid lots of money to get this house." So Ji-eun offers to pay Young-jae back for the Full House. When Young-jae tells her she doesn't have the money, really, Ji-eun says "you may have not known but I write internet stories. Its not something very big but everytime I make money from it you can take it. Plus the money I owe I promise to pay you back." She adds, "This house was built by my father that passed away. This isn't just my house, its also a part of me. I can't just give it up like that."
After all that talk Young-jae still kicks her out of the house. Hehehe. She checks her bag and the picture of her with her family when she was young is smashed. She starts cying and calls him arrogant, other bad words, lol. Young-jae gets ready to run (he exercises and runs a lot in the series) when he finds Ji-eun in front of the house in a bench sleeping. He tries to wake her up. Ji-eun says she's hurting but she gets up to leave and walk away from the house. Young-jae runs across the beach and comes back and finds Ji-eun on the bench again. He yells at her to get out. He checks her temperature and its high, so he carries her inside the house and runs to the town to get her medicine. (See, he's a jerk, but he really does always make up for it. Hehehe) He gives her the medicine and asks her if she's okay and if she doesn't need to see the doctor. Ji-eun resists going to the doctor and says she wants to stay home. Young-jae goes through her bags and looks at her agenda, and on the 19th it says the date where her father passed away. Young-jae looks at Ji-eun sleeping and pulls a blanket over her.
Meanwhile, Min hyuk and Hye-won go to a bar. He invites her to come to his magazine launching but she is being coy about it. She asks him if he will stay in Korea but he said that he is still unsure if he will stay. There is still a possibility that he will go back to New York by the end of the month. There is a girl at the back checking Min-hyuk out and he asks Hye-won what she thinks of her. He says that the girl is cute and asks the waiter to get her a drink. Hye-won is upset and excuses herself to go to the bathroom. When she returns Min-hyuk has left with the girl and just leaves a note for Hye-won.
Young-jae tries to cool Ji-eun’s fever down with a towel. The next day Ji-eun feels much better, but she acts like she's still sick. Young-jae has to go out so he tells Ji-eun to stay home and rest. He's made her some porridge. After he leaves, Ji-eun gets up and eats everything! She’s such a slob she makes such a mess with all her eating. Hehe. When later that day Young-jae comes home, Ji-eun just throws all the food wrappers and garbage into the fridge. When Young-jae realizes this, Ji-eun still pretends like she’s sick saying she has to stay in the house a little longer. Young-jae tells Ji-eun how she's putting on a great show and then he tells her to clean everything up. Hehehe.
Young-jae gives her money to find a place to stay. When Ji-eun asks what the money is for, he says, "because you need it" (you’re poor, etc.) Ji-eun starts to yell at Young-jae for being a jerk, throws the money back at Young-jae and leaves the house. He goes out after her though [aww] and finds her going no where waiting in the bus stop so he picks her up and brings her back to his house.
THE TERMS OF HER STAY IN THE HOUSE:
1. cook every morning bap, jji gae or gook by 7 in the morning.
2. to pay particular attention to the cleaning since he is a neat freak.
3. to stay in her room at all times and not to disturb him.
Young-jae goes to Hye-won's clothes store for something to wear on Min-hyuk's magazine launching. She tells Young-jae she'll be going to New York to study (but basically really to follow Min-hyuk there). Young-jae cannot let the love of his life leave so easily so he decides to finally propose to Hye-won so she'll stay in Korea.
Ji-eun is calculating how much she owes Young-jae when the doorbell rings. She finds out that a credit card has been opened under her name (of course Dong-wook is responsible for this) and she now owes a lot of money from the bank.
At night, Ji-eun sees Young-jae practicing his proposal to Hye-won but she thinks it's just a movie line. She tells Young-jae the line is very corny/lame. Hehehe. Ji-eun says she can't be home early tomorrow and Young-jae asks why. Ji-eun says "lets keep our privacy" and Young-jae says the same.
The next day Ji-eun goes to the hospital where she heard her friends come to. She stakes out and finds them coming out and chases them. Hee-jin, her girl friend, pretends to have fainted. When Ji-eun tries to get a taxi to bring Hee-jin to a hospital, she realizes it was all a diversion and Hee-jin and Dong-wook have escaped.
Young-jae is waiting foe Hye-won to come in a nice restaurant to propose to her. They are the only people inside. He asks the cooks to put the ring on the dessert: ice cream. (They also leak out the news of Young-jae’s proposal to news media though). But when the dessert is ready, Min-hyuk calls Hye-won and she’s all ready to drop her date with Young-jae to be with Min-hyuk. Young-jae confronts Hye-won and asks her if she likes Min-hyuk. She admits to the fact. Young-jae tells her Min-hyuk doesn’t like her. But Hye-won is undaunted and tells Young-jae she’ll make him like her and then she leaves. Young-jae is unable to propose and he throws the ring away in a trash bin in the Full House.
Young-jae is drinking when Ji-eun comes in and joins in. Ji-eun is so depressed at having such awful "friends". "For 15 years, we've been friends. But how can my closest friends con me like that... they know that this house is all I have." Then she asks him if the proposal shooting went well and what the movie is all about anyway. Young-jae tells her "there was once this guy who liked a girl but now, she is about to leave him. So the guy decided to confess his feelings for her and tell her not to go. To stay by his side..." Ji-eun continues the story saying that, really, the girl is in love with another man. Young-jae is amazed at how it's so true and asks her "how do u know this" and Ji-eun says, "because i'm a writer". She adds, "But he still couldn't give up on her, because if he lost her, he couldn't live without her. But he still couldn't confess to her because he was afraid that he would lose her if he did. Because there is more to love than just happiness, so he decides to stay by her side, even if it hurts him.” Young-jae asks her what happens next in the story but this time Ji-eun goes too far with the story and Young-jae loses interest. Hehehe. Young-jae is exasperated and he tells her to just go to sleep. While he is upstairs, he watches her clean up. Ji-eun finds the ring in the trash bin.
During breakfast, Young-jae asks Ji-eun what was it that she served him, stew or soup? She answers: "it can be both: multiplayer" [Hehehe. I love it when she says the word 'multiplayer']
Ji-eun asks Young-jae about the ring she found at the trash bin. He tells her to throw it out and grabs the ring from her and throws it in the back yard. She tells him that once she finds it again, it's going to be finders keepers.
It's all over the newspapers about Young-jae's scandal [how he was to propose to a girl] and his manager is in an uproar over it. No one can get in contact with him, Ji-eun comes home and gives him the paper with him on the front page. The phone is ringing and he takes out the cord.
While cleaning, Ji-eun asks him about the scandal, saying the ring she found looks like the one printed in the newspapers. He walks out to the backyard.
Ji-eun finds an invitation to Min-hyuk’s new magazine launching. She figures there's going to be a lot of publicist there and so she wants to attend to hopefully find a publisher for her internet story. But Young-jae says no. She is whining, saying that she promises to behave. He still refuses. She said that when they get to the party they can separate immediately. He ignores her and Ji-eun calls him a “wang ssagaji” and pushes the swing that he was sitting on, forcing him to fall. Hahaha. Ji-eun still takes the ticket from the bookshelf without Young-jae knowing.
At the party, Young-jae gives the a copy of Ji-eun’s story to his manager without her knowing. When he sees Ji-eun there he asks her how she got there and Ji-eun says, "Well, I took the bus." Hehehe. She drops a piece of chocolate cake on her dress [the one Young-jae got her in Episode 1, btw] and on her way back she sees Min-hyuk and they get on a candid conversation about her story.
Young-jae is wondering where Ji-eun is and he sees Hye-won instead...
In a corner, Min-hyuk is laughing heartily at Ji-eun's story. Hye-won sees all this and asks him why he is acting this way. She asks him if he is testing her right now, to see how far she can go, how much she can take it. She finally confesses to him that she likes him. But Min-hyuk replies "I’m sorry that you were mistaken but I only thought and still think of you as my younger sister. Don't you know that Young-jae likes you a lot?"
"Then that's it. It's because of Young-jae, because he likes me?"
So Hye-won walks away confronts Young-jae. "Yah, Lee Young Jae, do you like me, do you love me? If you do, then confess it to me here and now that you do..."
And Young-jae says, "I really like you...Han Ji Eun..." and kisses Ji-eun while Hye-won and Min-hyuk stare on, and all the cameras flashing behind.
