Romance Town Episode 15

Hyun Joo is practically hyperventilating as she calls up front desk about the four people fainted in the room. Ambulances arrive and the four maids are quickly wheeled out of the hotel. The concierge stops Hyun Joo for a moment; they have all the garbage bags that her fainted friends left behind. The chambermaid was about to toss them until they realized the contents of the bag, and then kept it in a safe place.

Garbage bags? Hyun Joo remembers the maids’ suspicious activity with those bags and goes with the concierge to claim them. Without looking at the contents, she asks that they help her into a taxi with those bags, and checks out of the hotel.
Soon Geum awakens first in the ambulance, and she quickly wakes up Soo Jung. Da Kyum and Zar Lin, who are in the other ambulance, also wake up in surprise at their surroundings. Both sets of maids plead with their EMTs to bring them back to the hotel. They rush up to the concierge, who happily informs them that their companion took their garbage bags away.Hyun Joo opens the bags one by one in the taxi, and nearly screams at the sight of so much money. She has the taxi drive around for a bit, refusing to go home or the hospital.

The maids all rush to Hwang Yong’s home, asking him quite rudely if Hyun Joo came home. She didn’t, and so Soo Jung, Da Kyum, and Zar Lin enter Hyun Joo’s room and start tearing it apart. They discover she left her cell phone, rendering her unreachable, and can’t even contact her son to ask where she is. Hwang Yong then reveals that Hyun Joo did call. Well then what did she say?! He tells Soon Geum that Hyun Joo won’t be back for a few days, and she’s only a little sorry about that because he still has Zar Lin around.Hyun Joo had requested to meet him alone tomorrow. She needed his advice, and meeting him will help her figure out what to do in the future.Hyun Joo wanted to meet with Hwang Yong for one thing: does he like her? If he does like her, she’ll be able to let go of her greed and return it. She’s fallen for him because he’s been so nice to her, and she wants to know if there’s sincerity to that kindness. Hwang Yong frankly apologizes. He was only nice to her, and hired her, because she helped him during the hotel incident and because she looked pitiful after getting fired. The other maids are basically waiting around for another purchase to come through on Hyun Joo’s phone – and another one it does. This time it’s a plane ticket. Soo Jung dials in the police.

She goes over to Soon Geum’s later to let her know that they’ve called the police already. She, Da Kyum, and Zar Lin are going to take Young Hee’s car to confront Hyun Joo at the airport before she flies off to Australia. Soon Geum quickly runs over to Hwang Yong. Everything is going to be lost! She quickly tells him what has transpired, and that the maids are seeking revenge. Well, Hwang Yong explains, 1) Soon Geum will be in trouble for receiving more money than the ticket is worth; 2) Hwang Yong will be in trouble for giving more money and buying the ticket; 3) all the maids are in trouble for having touched that “tainted” lottery money; 4) Hyun Joo will be in trouble for stealing it, and 5) the person who purchased the ticket from him with even more money will be in trouble.The police are also on their way, and Hwang Yong’s cars catch up to the police car. He orders his men to create a distraction: have an accident with the police car and stop them from getting to the airport!! Her actions are not without regret, as she does cry on the plane. Thank goodness Hwang Yong boards the plane and sits next to her. She doesn’t notice at first, so he gets her attention by noting the hot weather: “In this situation, your dessert is most certainly delicious.” Hyun Joo is surprised to see him there, and even more so when he says: “I’ll let you like me. So, will you come home with me?”
