I'll love you, badly.

Episode 154 ˚ Lunch for Three

Previous story

Jimin calls Miso aside and delivers a kind of warning to her not to appear in front of Taehyung and him anymore.

Meanwhile, Jimin, who approached Taehyung and Yeoju in the lounge, asks for the name of a familiar person.

박지민

The sender's name was someone's name...

박지민

Do you know Eunwoo?

Upon hearing a familiar name from Jimin, Taehyung and Yeoju turn their heads, which had been facing Jimin, to look at each other.

박지민

What, do you know them?

정여주

Eunwoo... if it's that, there's only one person around us.

김태형

He's a man who got married recently.

박지민

...a married man...

박지민

Are you family by any chance?

김태형

Yang Miso is an only child, you know.

박지민

Ah... really?

정여주

Maybe... they just know each other?

정여주

We meet occasionally... that kind of relationship?

박지민

...Yeah, well, it probably doesn't mean anything, right?

정여주

There shouldn't be any... haha

정여주

If there is something between the two of them—

정여주

that...

The female lead shakes her head as if she doesn't even want to imagine it.

김태형

It's probably nothing.

정여주

That's right, ah.

정여주

I'll be leaving now. Don't you need to see a doctor, Jimin?

박지민

It's lunchtime right now, haha.

정여주

ah-

정여주

Then, would you like to go have lunch together now?

김태형

?! honey?

정여주

huh?

김태형

It would be fine if just the two of us ate it.

정여주

Hey, it wouldn't feel right to leave Jimin alone and go by ourselves.

정여주

Did you have lunch, Jimin?

박지민

Ah, not yet, haha.

정여주

Then let's go together.

박지민

Of course I want to go, but...

박지민

It seems like this friend... dislikes me.

김태형

(This friend)

While Taehyung is doing his best to signal that she should just go, Jimin is pretending not to notice and keeping his gaze fixed on Yeoju.

정여주

Taehyung, do you think this is the first or second time this has happened?

정여주

I'll treat you to lunch. Let's go quickly.

김태형

Oh, honey—I—!

김태형

I'll go with you too!

정여주

Come quickly.

"But honey, why are you using honorifics again?"

"...I still feel awkward speaking informally... heh"

"...Do I have to wait again...?"

"···maybe?"

"Sister-in-law, he's a bit of a nuisance, isn't he?"

Ah, sometimes—

"Honey? I'm right next to you right now...?"

Yeoju and Jimin, who had been patiently indulging Taehyung's childish behavior, finally take a breather as they sit down only after arriving at the restaurant.

정여주

What would you like to eat, Jimin?

박지민

hmm-

박지민

My sister-in-law is treating me, so I wonder if it's okay to pick something expensive—heh

정여주

Of course—of course!

Taehyung, who had been glancing back and forth at Yeoju and Jimin, frowns as if he is uncomfortable.

김태형

Hey—that won't do.

김태형

You, just pick the cheapest one no matter what.

박지민

Then I'll go with cheese.

정여주

What about you, Taehyung?

김태형

I am sirloin.

정여주

Okay, here you go! I'll place my order!

"Yes, please speak—"

정여주

One cheese pork cutlet, one sirloin pork cutlet

정여주

And... please give me one egg fried rice.

One cheese, one sirloin, and one egg fried rice. Is that right?

정여주

Yes-h

Understood, please wait a moment.

The employee, who was scribbling something on the bill on the table, runs straight to the kitchen.

Yeojuji takes out a wet wipe from in front of her, wipes her hands, and opens her mouth.

정여주

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever met Jimin's wife.

정여주

I've wanted to meet you and say hello for a while...

박지민

Oh, is that so?

박지민

You've probably run into them at daycare at least once—haha

정여주

...Right?! That must have been the case, right?

정여주

That would have been the case...

정여주

My memory is a bit hazy...

정여주

When Mingyu was four? I think I might have seen him occasionally, but...

박지민

My wife wants to meet you too, Yeoju.

정여주

Oh, really?

박지민

Yeoju said she will make an appearance once she gives birth safely.

박지민

He asked me to tell you to just stay healthy until then, haha.

김태형

Are you feeling better, Jisu?

박지민

You've gotten much better, haven't you?

정여주

Ah, so your name is Jisu.

정여주

By the way, are you... not feeling well?

박지민

My wife has asthma, so... haha

정여주

Asthma...?

박지민

I am in a much better condition now.

박지민

That is also the reason why I haven't been able to meet you sooner, Yeoju.

정여주

···Ah. I see...

박지민

Didn't Kim Taehyung tell you?

정여주

Yes, not at all?

김태형

I said that because it’s only right to hear this news directly from Park Jimin or Jisoo.

김태형

I thought the female lead would want that too.

The female lead smiles happily at Taehyung's answer.

정여주

That's right haha

정여주

Please tell Jisu to stay healthy as well.

정여주

I promised I would visit you first!

박지민

Okay_heh

Here is the food!

···

박지민

Thanks to you, Yeoju, I enjoyed the meal.

정여주

No problem, I'll treat you often in the future!

정여주

So, you're going back to the hospital now, right?

박지민

Ah, that's right, haha.

정여주

Let's go in together, Taehyung...

김태형

I'll take Yeoju home and then go to the hospital.

정여주

Isn't lunch time over?

김태형

It's not over yet.

박지민

What are you talking about? It's been 3 minutes since lunchtime started.

김태형

Quiet.

김태형

Honey, let's go.

정여주

I can take a taxi.

김태형

No, I have to take you home, honey.

김태형

Go inside first, Park Jimin.

정여주

Are you really okay with giving me a ride? Don't you have time?

김태형

Yeah—I have plenty of time to spend on you, honey!

Taehyung, who had roughly waved goodbye to Jimin, takes Yeoju's hand and heads toward the car parked on the side of the road.

Before she could even stop Taehyung, Yeoju found herself being dragged away and hurriedly greeted Jimin.

정여주

Please drive safely!

박지민

Ah, ah. Yes! You too, Yeoju!

[And so, Jimin is left alone once again.]
