Romance Town Episode 12

From the look on Soon Geum’s face, she seems to think she’s been found out about her lottery winnings. They want to see if she’ll confess on her own, but Soon Geum stumbles over her words.Soo Jung: Last time at the department store, it was you who acted like you didn’t know us when you were with Kang Gun Woo and we rode the elevator together. You changed into another person by wearing the Madame’s clothing. It was you who flirted with Kang Gun Woo, right? Relieved, Soon Geum admits they’re right. At the Jang residence, Soon Ok and Boon Ja are fretting over the inheritance. They try to figure out a way to get their hands on some money, and realize that it’s Hyun Joo they have to worry about – she might get two-fifths of the inheritance! They fire Hyun Joo immediately and give her her severance pay, working in the kitchen to prepare the meals themselves. Soo Jung complains on how lazy Da Kyum is as they sit down to eat, and they have an unexpected visitor – Young Hee! Young Hee bends over backwards to look up – it’s his grandfather’s painting! Soo Jung is back at the convenience store and checking out his CCTV system. She brings an expensive product to purchase, asking to put it on credit, but the clerk is annoyed. He doesn’t take credit – especially not from her since she purchased instant ramen on “credit” last time. Soo Jung continues to insist that she didn’t, which causes him to go to the back room and show her the video tape.He explains that the video shows the opposite of reality, and then they see Zar Lin coming into the store through the camera. The clerk rushes out to assist her, and Soo Jung takes the opportunity to close the door behind him.

The door locks immediately, so while the clerk searches for the key, Soo Jung dashes to look through the video for Soon Geum visiting the store. She notes where Soon Geum put the tickets – the maids’ are on the right, and hers are on the left. She jots it down just in time before the clerk opens the door. Soon Geum returns home with groceries, and Soo Jung calls her over menacingly – Soon Geum purchased an extra lottery ticket, didn’t she? And her ticket was the winning ticket, wasn’t it?

Soon Geum panics. Soo Jung inches closer, cradling her face with her hands; “Why are you surprised? Are you scared?” Soon Geum immediately cries that it was just once. She only bought it because her parents appeared in her dream, and she had purposely kept hers on the left. She even told the maids specifically that theirs was on the right. Soo Jung checks it against her own apron, where she’s hidden go-stop cards to symbolize the maids’ and Soon Geum’s tickets. Soon Geum’s story adds up, and so Soo Jung just leaves her alone. Back to Soon Geum, who’s begging Soo Jung to keep her winnings a secret. Soo Jung: “Why don’t you give me some then?” Soon Geum is shocked at the request, but Soo Jung says she’s just kidding. Soon Geum’s story checks out so she’s not going to lay any claim on it. She lays out her apron towards Soon Geum and has her explain it again.

Soon Geum takes out the cards from the apron to prove that the maids’ ticket was the losing ticket, and that hers was the winning ticket. However, when she reaches into the left pocket (which is the right pocket facing her), it’s actually the maids’ “ticket”! Both of them realize that there was a mix up at the same time – all because it depended on who was looking at the pocket at the time. Hyun Joo had taken out the wrong ticket, thinking that “right side” meant her “right side,” and not the wearer’s right side. The winning ticket belongs to the maids. Soo Jung visits Soon Geum’s home – she wants to have the “talk” with everyone else at Soon Geum’s newly bought apartment, and will notify the others. Soo Jung is the first to arrive at the apartment, and she carries with her a newly purchased luggage. She wants to see the money first before everyone else, citing the fact that she’s the oldest, so she should get to see it first. Besides, it doesn’t matter when anyone sees it. Without much choice, Soon Geum takes her to the second bedroom where she kept all of the other boxes of money.

She opens one to show Soo Jung the money; split 5 ways, each person will get 2 billion. Soo Jung collapses from the sight of all that money. She asks Soon Geum honestly: after having 10 billion and now being forced to split it, does she feel a little robbed? At first Soon Geum replies no, but then admits she does. However, since they promised to share it, she’s going to follow through. That’s when Soo Jung admits that the others aren’t coming – in fact, they don’t know about this meeting. So… how about they split it in half? 5 billion each. Soon Geum is worried they’ll get caught, but Soo Jung tells her that they just need to keep their mouth shut. She can do that right, since she’s hid the 10 billion from all of them these past few weeks?

Soon Geum is resistant, and is creeped out by Soo Jung’s increasing greediness. Soo Jung reasons with her – even if they may seem like bad people now, Soon Geum will be thankful later. It’s 5 billion! Compared to the paltry 2 billion if everyone knew!
