Nettled by Hae-soo calling herself a woman he’ll eventually break up with, Jae-yeol warns her against using that remark again in the future. They agree to hit the pause button on this argument since it’s nearly showtime.
Tae-yong sends his friend a text to confirm whether Kang-woo’s number Jae-yeol sent is correct. Jae-yeol says it is, even though Tae-yong knows the number doesn’t exist.
It’s certainly troubling, but Tae-yong tamps down his worries when Sang-sook, Jae-yeol’s first love and fellow former schoolmate, drops by to chat. He asks about that guy in her previous letter, the one who looked like Jae-yeol throwing pebbles at her window.
It turns out that Jae-yeol’s request was for Hae-soo to be a guest on his nightly radio program. Asking why she’d choose a movie about a married couple over another in the series (depicting love prior to marriage), he comments that she appears unmarried. She confirms it, then jots something down that also gives us a meta-moment: “You’re pretty good at acting. You should become an actor.”
That’s only the beginning, as Hae-soo replies that she particularly likes the ending. Jae-yeol describes the scene for his listeners: the married couple lies in bed in their underwear, hurling insults at each other like sworn enemies. In other words, the entire scene is a mess, Hae-soo summarizes, and Jae-yeol scribbles down his answer: “Just like us right now?” Hae-soo crosses that out.
What she finds moving is the kind of relationship where two people are in love because they chose to be with that person despite their inadequacies. Though Jae-yeol himself might not know what that’s like, she adds.
He asks if she’s implying if he’s some kind of player who has no interest in long-term relationships or marriage, to which she agrees to readily. The immediate response from the listeners must be positive, since they’re encouraged to keep going, and Jae-yeol tosses back that he didn’t think she’d think of him like that, given that she’s a shrink and all.
But Hae-soo argues that humans are habitual creatures, so Jae-yeol gives her an example that those who are used to breakups must think nothing of it. She says that’s typically the case, but Jae-yeol counters that it could be the complete opposite—could that person be looking for something more substantial and meaningful after so many breakups?
He counts himself among those looking for a meaningful relationship, and she jots down that his sincerity just now nearly had her fooled. It’s hard to tell whether Hae-soo’s smile implies that she’s enjoying this or doesn’t believe him (again), but then they take a music break.
Jae-yeol swings their chairs around to resume their previous argument. Is she mad that he didn’t tell people that they were dating? He doesn’t like dishing about his love life and she said at the airport that he spends too much money, so he acted out of consideration for her.
But Hae-soo scoffs at that—he sounds like someone who’s thinking about marrying her. He points out that she’s the weird one for not thinking about it. It’s natural to harbor serious thoughts like marriage at their age, isn’t it?
Hae-soo shushes him, joking that he’s well on his way to propose to her at this rate. I don’t exactly see what she finds so funny about this conversation, and neither does Jae-yeol. It’s because she’s flattered by the idea that he’d think of marrying her, which just confuses him (and myself) even further.
