Sang-Chul remarks on what happened when Kousuke and Shin-Ae fell, and Kousuke starts to ask what Sang-Chul was doing with Shin-Ae, but Sang-Chul continuously dodges the question. Kousuke says that he needs to have a word with her in private. The two continue bickering, until Shin-Ae tells them to stop, and she will go with Kousuke.

*"Oh sweetie... you'll come running back" -Yui*

This page contains **spoilers** for **Episode 138** of *I Love Yoo*

## Summary

Shin-Ae meets with Rand, and tells him that Jayce said he can help her. Shin-Ae explains that she didn't read the contract thoroughly before signing it. Rand asks what she expected to happen, he asks if she enjoys working there, mentioning their first meeting. Shin-Ae says that she doesn't, and she doesn't feel safe.

Shin-Ae asks how Rand, as chairman, feels about running an unsafe environment. He says that he shouldn't feel proud of it, but there are other factors, and the world isn't black and white. Shin-Ae is confused. Rand says that he wishes he could help, but can't because the contract is only "negotiable between the parties involved."

Shin-Ae asks who she signed the contract with, and Yui comes behind her, saying "with me." Yui says she crafted the contract on the spot due to Shin-Ae's situation, and notes how desperate Shin-Ae must have been to sign it without reading first. Yui then asks Shin-Ae to tell her what the problem is, before interrupting Shin-Ae by saying she heard her conversation with Rand and then asking Rand to leave.

Yui asks Shin-Ae what she is doing for school, and asks Shin-Ae what happened when she sees her face. Shin-Ae gets upset and says that it was Yui's doing, and starts explaining this to Yui. Yui tells Shin-Ae that people don't get to where they are by just "working hard." Yui then says that she didn't force Shin-Ae to do anything, and then talks about how she doesn't want to see Shin-Ae fail, and won't terminate her contract. Shin-Ae says that if Yui really cared, she would keep Sang-Chul away from her, but Yui brushes it off.

Shin-Ae starts to leave, and Yui says that she can get Shin-Ae into any school. Shin-Ae refuses her help and storms off.

Kousuke asked her to get away from him and Nessa said that he's probably scared because she is a stranger, and told Nol that he might be targeted by 'bad people'. He said that he doesn't think Kousuke is a bad person. Kousuke exclaimed "you're bad people!" and ran off, said that he will never be Nol's friend. While running away, he said that he is better than them.

As Kousuke exits the restroom, Soushi shows Shin-Ae and Dieter the toy he won in the claw game. They ask Kousuke what's up, but he walks off. Shin-Ae chases after him, asking if he is alright. Kousuke says he's not okay, but Shin-Ae wouldn't understand. Shin-Ae tells him to at least take his coat, and Kousuke grabs it, snapping at her, and imagining her as a younger Nol before storming off.

Dieter and Soushi approach Shin-Ae, asking what happened, and she says that she guesses Kousuke "just bolted" and that he's been acting weird all day.

After trying to call Rika for a third time, Shin-Ae hears her friends talking about her. Maya complains that they haven't been at the party very long, and says that Shin-Ae can be really boring and that she'll turn off her phone so it'll be easier to ignore her. She begins to get angry, but the orange haired boy finds her again and Shin-Ae threatens to call the police if he's stalking her. The boy explains himself and says that he overheard her phone calls and that he just wants to help. Shin-Ae asks why, and he says that it's because he's bored. He has a very insightful spiel about being forced to attend parties, but Shin-Ae doesn't listen. She goes to leave, but the boy follows her and insists that he really does want to help.

## Summary

The episode begins with Shin-Ae being welcomed into Dieter's house by his sister. Once inside, she overhears a conversation between Soushi and Dieter pertaining to Soushi's connection with Kousuke. In said conversation, Soushi comes clean about him giving intel regarding Yeong-Gi to Kousuke, though he admits feeling guilty about doing so, and states he's unsure why Kousuke wants the information. After realizing Shin-Ae was listening, the two stop discussing the matter.

Shin-Ae, Dieter, and Soushi then begin sharing all the information they have regarding the Yeong-Gi situation. When Dieter asks Shin-Ae about Yui, Shin-Ae states that Yui has been "toying" with her. Concerned, Dieter asks Shin-Ae about her encounters with Yui, and Shin-Ae shares everything. Dieter becomes upset, and tries to tell Shin-Ae that she is being "exploited" and "whored out" by Yui. Initially, Shin-Ae tries excusing Yui, stating that the situation looks worse than it actually is. As she continues, she becomes increasingly tense as she begins to understand the full light of the situation. Dieter begins to reach his hand out to comfort Shin-Ae, but decides to pull back.

Dieter begins writing down the new details on a notepad he has with information regarding the Yeong-Gi situation. The group questions the detailed drawing of a fly in the notes, representing Yeong-Gi's fear of flies. Immediately afterwards, the trio all receive a text from Nana expressing distress about Yeong-Gi and urging them to rush to the hospital as soon as possible.

Once arriving at the hospital, Nana informs the group that they are already "too late". Yeong-Gi then begins walking out of the hospital escorted by authorities.

## Summary

Dieter asks if Shin-Ae wants to talk about her confrontation with Nol. She says she confronted him about everything, and wonders if he just disappeared, they wouldn't know that he faked everything and would only be left with good memories of him.

Dieter says that even if he faked it, the relationship still felt genuine, and Dieter thinks that Nol might be lying to himself. He then says that it "doesn't feel like him to throw us all away like this." Shin-Ae gets angry, saying that they don't know what Nol is actually like and she's upset that she fell for it. Dieter reminds her to breathe, and tells her that none of this is her fault.

Dieter then grabs the bear suit and then tells Shin-Ae that she can use it as a punching bag to release her frustrations. They go outside with Soushi and Shin-Ae starts hitting the bear with a baseball bat, while thinking about everyone who makes her mad, but she stops when she imagines a younger version of herself.
