Romance Town Episode 10

It’s a tense stare-off between the two men, so Hwang Yong sends Soon Geum out by reminding her of the stew on the stove. Gun Woo approaches Hwang Yong, wanting to know what he has in his hand. They sit on the picnic table outside, and without a word, Gun Woo holds out his hand to Hwang Yong.

Finally, Hwang Yong hands over the lottery ticket. He tells Gun Woo that it’s probably his inheritance, as Tae Won had purchased it from him. The thieves were his former employees who overheard the sale and broke into the house, thus causing Gun Woo’s injuries. Hwang Yong says all Gun Woo has to do is put the ticket back in the drawer for him, putting the ticket in Gun Woo’s hand. Gun Woo returns to his father’s office and looks at the ticket. He finds it funny that the last number wasn’t circled, and flips it around. That’s when he sees the number – the phone number he had written on the back of Soon Geum’s ticket…

HE KNOWS IT’S SOON GEUM! That morning, Young Hee is awakened by his phone alarm. He feels around for it and then realizes that there’s a girl sleeping next to him. But not just ANY girl – it’s Da Kyum! When Young Hee returns to his room, he refuses to take responsibility, because he would never have done something wrong with a girl he sees as a younger sister. No matter how drunk he was, he would never let his drunkenness cross the line of his sincere feelings for her. Soon Geum finds Young Hee sitting outside the dog house. He asks her if she felt less embarrassed after hiding in the dog house, and she tells him to go find out for himself. But Young Hee isn’t getting the joke; instead, he thinks Soon Geum sees him as a dog, which completely bums him out.

Gun Woo steps out of the house to see them having a talk, and decides to creep up on them from behind.

Soon Geum tries to cheer him up, saying he’s not a dog at all – personality wise – and that he’s pretty cool for having proposed to her even though she was a housemaid. That stops Gun Woo in his creeping tracks. His friend… liked Soon Geum!? Gun Woo falls back on the grass in shock. That evening, the maids, except for Soon Geum, gather at Da Kyum’s for some Go-Stop. Soo Jung goads Zar Lin to bring Hwang Yong over to play with them, as she wants to play matchmaker. After several rounds of Go-Stop, Hwang Yong excuses himself to go to the restroom. Soo Jung spots Hwang Yong’s phone and they start looking through his text messages to see what he said to Yoon Joo. They only find a text from Trophy Madame asking if he arrived home safely, but he never replied back. In fact, he hasn’t texted her anything. Soo Jung stumbles upon a text from Soon Geum; she had told Hwang Yong that thieves had stolen 20 million Won from her. Soo Jung keeps this information to herself. The next morning, Soo Jung is so bothered by what she found out that she decides to follow Soon Geum all day. Later that day she follows Soon Geum to a department store and watches her purchase a gift in the children’s section. Soo Jung grabs the price tag before the sales lady throws it away, thinking she’s caught Soon Geum splurging, only to discover that everything is on sale. She follows Soon Geum to a restaurant, where she presents Ji Min a birthday present. Soo Jung finally realizes that all this is ridiculous, and Soon Geum must have her own reasons if she’s hiding anything. Meanwhile, Young Hee heads to a gallery where all his grandfather’s works are displayed. He removes one of the small paintings from the wall and tells Joo Won (who is the curator) to help pack it for him. He takes Da Kyum to a fancy restaurant and presents the gift. She is more offended than touched, thinking that Young Hee is trying to send her off with a painting.
