Romance Town Episode 11

The next morning, Joo Won gets a call during her jog about Young Hee’s grandfather’s paintings. Kim Yuk’s paintings have been put on hold and won’t be sent over; turns out, they’ve been forged.

Oblivious to this revelation, Young Hee goes to the kitchen for a bottle of water. He notices a note on the door: “Get a new maid. I don’t need a traffic light. I’m going to go jaywalking.” Her room is empty, and only her apron is left. A hot breakfast has been set out for him on the dining table.

Young Hee runs out of the house and starts searching the neighborhood. Soon Geum sees him as she picks up the mail and notices his bare feet. She runs back into the house to grab Gun Woo’s sneakers, and chases after Young Hee. Learning of Da Kyum’s departure, Soon Geum calls all the maids over to Young Hee’s home. While they try to be optimistic, they all suspect Da Kyum ran away to a bar to be a hostess. Young Hee can hear this, and furiously swipes all of Da Kyum’s dishes on the floor.Joo Won frets in the gallery as she meets the lawyer. If the New York paintings are forged, there’s a high probability that the Korean ones are forged too. They need to contact Young Hee; until then, there’s only one painting that they know that is real – the painting Da Kyum has. oon Geum catches Young Hee heading out to find a new maid. She confides that it’s possible Da Kyum went to her mother’s home, as she has nowhere to go in Seoul. Young Hee gets a call from Joo Won, and finally hears the bad news. He turns to Soon Geum – can she do one more favor for him? But then he rethinks it and takes it back. Soon Geum: “I am hugging you for being admirable and going barefoot. I am hugging you because I’m proud you’re going to look for Da Kyum.” And with that, she hugs him. (GAH! Please don’t take it the wrong way Young Hee!) He doesn’t react to her hug, which only makes her hug him a little closer. Then she realizes that they’re going to miss the train, and starts rushing down to the tracks. Young Hee stops her; if Da Kyum wants to come back, she can do so herself. He can’t afford a maid anymore anyways. Da Kyum came back – mainly because she couldn’t help but wonder how Young Hee was doing.Meanwhile, Jang Chi Gook is writing up his last will and testament. Boon Ja catches him in the act, and she immediately calls for Soon Ok’s attention. They force him to read the will out loud. Meanwhile, Soo Jung is highly suspicious of Soon Geum and camps out at the convenience store, eating instant ramen until Soon Geum comes by. She follows her to the apartment building, and then asks the realtor where Soon Geum lives, pretending to be her older sister. The realtor definitely knows Soon Geum – she bought a million-dollar house before! That’s all the confirmation Soo Jung needs to know.

She goes up to the apartment, rings the doorbell, and pretends she’s from the dry cleaners. Shi Ah is skeptical, but Soon Geum notes that Shi Ah is usually forgetful. When they open the door, no one is there; only the white blazer is hanging on the door knob. Back at the convenience store, Soo Jung urgently asks the clerk if Soon Geum bought another lottery ticket aside from the maids’ communal one. The clerk remembers she did it once, but despite Soo Jung’s prodding, he doesn’t remember when it happened exactly. That evening, Young Hee mopes in his car, staring at the night sky. Hwang Yong asks after his well-being, and Young Hee apologizes to him for purchasing many of his grandfather’s paintings – which may turn out to be fake. Gun Woo and Soon Geum join them, but before they can chit chat further, the rest of the maids come marching down the lawn towards Soon Geum. They want to talk, and they can do it out here since there shouldn’t be any secrets to hide. Young Hee grabs Soon Geum’s hand protectively, and then Gun Woo grabs the other, asking the maids what she did wrong.

The maids are disappointed in Soon Geum, and they close in on her like a pack of wolves.
