## Summary

Shin-Ae runs into Kousuke at the Hirahara building, he invites her to eat, telling her she doesn't have to train with Jayce today. They run into Nol, who greets Kousuke, but is ignored.

Kousuke takes Shin-Ae to the fried chicken restaurant that they ate previously. Kousuke informs Shin-Ae that he already ate, which she expected, but then he orders a hamburger instead. Shin-Ae remarks to herself that he looks different and wonders if something happened while he was in Japan. She tells him that he is looking rather 'spry', he asks what he usually looks like, to which she says 'not as spry'. His face readjusts to looking as it usually does.

He tells her that he got promoted, but they are there to celebrate Shin-Ae's completion of her etiquette courses. He asks why she wants to quit and how he can convince her to stay. He says that she won't have much difficulty getting another job after working with them. Shin-Ae asks, "but what is that going to cost me? Working close to those wretches". Kousuke responds explosively, asking her not to say "wretch", and then apologizes, saying "she is still my mother." He continues on to say that working there for even a year will really help her in the future, and if she stays as his assistant, she won't have to worry about Yui or Sang-Chul, as she would be in Japan with him. She asks what makes him think this is a good idea, as she can't speak Japanese, and that she can't go anywhere because of his mother, but once the chance comes she will leave. She asks why he is so insistent on her staying, and while asking, Kousuke gets a call from Nol, but ignores it, and starts to argue with Shin-Ae about whether she should stay or not. Kousuke asks if he doesn't trust her, and she responds "I dunno."

Kousuke leaves, and people start whispering about them. She thinks to herself that even if he doesn't 'have the nicest things to say', he doesn't deserve her 'hostility' . She also thinks that his critique is not entirely baseless, but the way he speaks really bothers her. She then reminds herself that he is not his mom.

Kousuke then shows up holding the stuffed beaver that he won in Japan.

## Summary

After Nol gets yelled at by his father, conversations he had previously replay in his head.

Blurred text reads:

* Why do you still try?
* You're nothing but a mistake.
* Give up already.
* You'll never be enough.

As he is leaving the ballroom, he hears Shin-Ae shout "Yeong-Gi Wait!" He turns around, but the door closes. As he is reaching towards the door, Kousuke comes up behind him, asking what happened. Kousuke guesses that Rand chewed Nol out, and Kousuke talks about his punching bag. The conversation between the two get tense when Yui enters.

Yui comments about how they should put aside their differences, targeting Nol. She remarks to Nol that with his hair styled, he quite resembles his father. She grabs his face, and Nol looks distraught. Yui comments on how upset he looks, and remarks about how long it has been since he has seen Alyssa. She then asks if her husband told him to wait in the cold for her, and says that she will have someone send him something to keep him warm. She heads off to find Rand.

At the same time, Sang-Chul greets Shin-Ae. He asks her if she was expecting someone else, and then tells her she looks 'stunning'. She pulls her hand away from him, and he remarks "Ouch". She says she is not used to that sort of stuff, and he eyes her drinks. He tells her to put the drinks away, and that they could easily be tampered with. She leaves the drinks and says she needs to find her friend.

Sang-Chul follows her and gets in her face. She thinks to herself that he is creepy Then, a waitress brings Shin-Ae a box of food with a poorly handwritten note from Yeong-Gi. The note reads as follows:

> *Sorry I couldn't watch over the food for longer. Something urgent came up Don't worry though. I asked the waitress to pack the food :) -Yeong-Gi*
>
>

She reads the note and thinks about his bad handwriting and his facial expression from earlier. Then, she hears Sang-Chul creepily snickering. She thinks that he got even more creepy. He then asks if he can help carry her food, but she thanks him and turns down his offer, saying that she needs to find her friend.

## Summary

While the guests are talking about Kousuke's dance with Shin-Ae, Rand approaches Kousuke. He asks him if Kousuke has anything to say to him. Kousuke apologizes for not telling his father he knew Shin-Ae sooner. Rand tells him that he can spare him some of the details, since Yui had previously informed him of 'Miss Yoo'. Yui asks where Sang-Chul is, and leaves with Gun Kim. Randulph asks Kousuke if he apologized to Miss Yoo, and Kousuke says he did. Kousuke is surprised that his father is not displeased, Rand says he is pleased he enjoying himself, but tells him to be more careful with his actions.

Shin-Ae sees Alyssa Cho enter. She talks with Yeong-Gi about Kousuke briefly. Alyssa then spots Shin-Ae and asks if she is the new friend he has been talking about. Yeong-Gi starts to introduce them, but Alyssa tells him that they already know each other. Shin-Ae thinks that it is odd that Alyssa acknowledges her, considering what happened in middle school. Shin-Ae confirms to Yeong-Gi that they knew each other in middle school. He is confused, because he thought Alyssa was home schooled. Alyssa tells him that she was, but went to middle school for a few months, where she met Shin-Ae. Shin-Ae thinks to herself that Alyssa is acting like nothing happened, and that she looks different; her face is the same but her hair was dyed blonde and her breasts look very large. While Shin-Ae is looking at Alyssa, thinking about how awkward it is, Yeong-Gi notices Shin-Ae's body language. Yeong-Gi then tells her that Alyssa and him are dating. A fan then pulls Alyssa away for a picture.

Shin-Ae tells Yeong-Gi that she is surprised that he is dating a famous person. She thinks to herself that maybe his dating of Alyssa was arranged by his family. He tells Shin-Ae that Alyssa wasn't famous when they met.

## Summary

Kousuke hesitates when it's time to compliment Nol. Nol asks if he is serious, and if he can lie, but Kousuke says it's pointless if Nol knows it's a lie. Nol then starts to complement Kousuke, continuing on to talk about Kousuke's drive to succeed, saying he wants to please others instead of fulfilling his own desires.

Shin-Ae notices how tense the brothers are and tries to defuse the situation, but it doesn't work and Kousuke yells at Nol, saying he has blatant disregard for the rules, giving him a back-handed compliment. Min-Hyuk pulls Shin-Ae out of the situation and says they should let it play out. Dieter and Min-Hyuk start making bets on who will win in a fight.

Nol and Kousuke continue their argument, and Kousuke claims that Nol is making remarks against him, which causes Nol to point out Kousuke's paranoia towards him. Kousuke claims that he is just concerned about his future, but Nol continues on to say that he's never done anything to indicate he wants to ruin Kousuke's life. Kousuke claims that is what he was doing through his behavior through the night, and that if Nol gets in trouble, so will he.

Nol then talks about how Kousuke is focused on what their father wants, and how he acts as if Rand is *"Holding a gun against [his] head."* Nol gets increasingly agitated, and starts asking Kousuke to stop doing everything Rand asks and to be his own person. Kousuke says that it is out of respect, but Nol counters this, saying that Kousuke is scared because without his family, Kousuke is nothing.

Shin-Ae tries to interject, but Nol tells her to stay out of it, as Kousuke says that Nol is a pest, and *"everyone's lives wouldn't be as difficult"* if Nol wasn't there, asking Nol to disappear. Shin-Ae once again tries to make them stop, but Nol interrupts her, asking Kousuke to hit him, while spreading his arms out.

Kousuke asks him to stop instigating, but Nol says he will go away if Kousuke hits him. Kousuke still says no, but Nol repeats the statement several times. Kousuke lashes out, grabbing Nol by the shirt, but releases him, falling to the ground. Nol is disappointed, saying *"I thought a real person was finally coming out."* He then says that Kousuke will never be able to run the company without a backbone, saying he feels sorry for him, and leaving Min-Hyuk's room.

However, as Nol starts to leave, Kousuke calls to him, running up and punching him in the face.

## Summary

Rand walks off, and when Kousuke asks why, Yui says that he isn't interested in being around them because work is his top priority.

Yui then tells Kousuke *"If you really want to win your father's affection, you should be more like him."*

In the present day, Kousuke tells Hansuke that he doesn't think that it was his father speaking, since his father wouldn't say that.

She suggests that Rand wouldn't understand, unless he had a change in attitude.

Rand asks Yui if she's tired, and how long she plans to *"keep this up."* Yui says she's not tired, and has never felt more alive. Yui talks about how her life is going well, and how she wishes she could tell her younger self that things would get better. Rand asks her to stop, saying no one would *"want to see their wife declaring how great her life is while her son lays unconscious in a hospital bed."* Yui tells him to lighten up, saying he is too sullen.

Rand asks why Yui doesn't give Kousuke the chance to *"thrive freely."* Yui tells him that he got freedom in college, but he came back, since it's what he wants. Rand says it's what Yui wants, *"pathetic and sickening as it is."* Yui says they have always had *"conflicting views on parenting",* and then changes the subject, asking where Nol is. She says Jayce lied about his location, and Rand defends Jayce, since he gave him the wrong information. He says he left Nol so he could be with Kousuke. Yui leans over Kousuke, telling Rand *"If you're brewing some sort of plot, I suggest you put an end to it… or you'll have to start counting your days, my dear husband."* She goes on to say that if Kousuke learned he was fatherless, he would have no one to look up to, and that nobody would be by his side.

**Kousuke's Corner - 1**  is a filler episode of *I Love Yoo*. It features Kousuke answering questions from the readers. This episode also features Shin-ae and Yeong-Gi. The episode was released on August 10, 2017.

## Summary

Shin-ae introduced the segment title before giving the floor to Kousuke. After this, Kousuke started to answer some questions from the readers.

The first drawing shows Shin-ae's drawing, which isn't bad, according to Kousuke. Second is Kousuke's drawing, which leaves Shin-ae amazed and Yeong-Gi jealous. The third drawing is Yeong-Gi's, which Kousuke commented as "accurate" and telling Yeong-Gi that he is "one ugly baby", with Yeong-Gi retaliating that at least he grew up okay. The brothers are now starting to insult each other through drawings (Yeong-Gi drew a butt to Kousuke, while Kousuke drew a \*\*\*\* to Yeong-Gi).

## Summary

Nol realizes that Shin-Ae's middle school friend is Alyssa. Shin-Ae runs towards him, yelling that he shouldn't touch other's things without permission. She denies that they are the same person, but Nol says he knows she is lying.

Nol says that Alyssa isn't important to him, and he knows her nature, and hates it. He says they made an agreement, so she knows he's not in it for love. In a vague way, he tells Shin-Ae about how Yui manipulated Alyssa, and that she *" [turned] into a person [he] can't look at."*

## Summary

Meg tells Nol to not do anything rash. Nol runs up to Sang-Chul and greets him.

Meanwhile, Yui walks up the stairs and greets Shin-Ae. She ask what Shin-Ae is doing alone, since she was with Mr. Kim previously. She then asks about Sang-Chul and Shin-Ae expresses her dislike towards him. Yui says not to be mean, and that Shin-Ae shouldn't sour her relationship with her boss. She also reminds Shin-Ae that she is 'doing it for my son.' Shin-Ae tells her that Sang-Chul was being creepy, but Yui brushes her concerns off, saying that Shin-Ae looks intoxicated and maybe Sang-Chul can take her home. As Shin-Ae says no, Kousuke comes up to them.

Kousuke tells her to leave Shin-Ae alone, and Yui asks why he is glaring at he. He tells her that her giving Shin-Ae a job bringing her to the party is all her doing. Shin-Ae is confused because she says that she texted Kousuke about the job. Yui tells him that he is confusing her, and Kousuke says that she's been drugged thanks to Yui's doing. Yui denies involvement with drugging her. Yui says that she only gave her the job because she knew Kousuke would not help her. Shin-Ae falls silent.

Nol goes up to Sang-Chul. He asks him about the jacket he is carrying. Sang-Chul asks what the problem is, and Yeong-Gi says that he started trouble when he tried to take advantage of Shin-Ae. Sang-Chul says there is nor proof of this, and asks who Shin-Ae is to him anyway, since Nol didn't get upset about him threatening to go after Alyssa. Sang-Chul says he heard that Yeong-Gi and Alyssa never even kissed. Yeong-Gi tells Sang-Chul that he is at his wits' end, and 'Don't make me hurt you'. Sang-Chul says Nol is not stupid enough to hurt him in front of all the people. Nol says "I'm a pretty inept individual especially compared to someone like Kousuke", mimicking Sang-Chul's words from earlier. Nol then hears Shin-Ae wail.

He goes upstairs and sees Shin-Ae attacking Yui. She is mad that Yui played her, and she is upset because worked hard, but got nothing in return. Nol yells out 'Fried Chicken!' to distract her. She realizes he lied. She says everyone is lying to her. The noodle, the mop, the witch, and Betelgeuse. She says there is no one she can trust, and she only wanted to help her dad.

She trips over the railing above the pool and Kousuke catches her but falls as well. Nol catches Kousuke. Yui offers to help, but her presence frightens Nol and he releases Kousuke, causing him and Shin-Ae to fall into the pool. Yui yells at Nol, asking why he let go of his brother. Nol backs away from Yui, causing him to nearly fall as well. Yui offers her hand, but Nol grabs something else, and he falls into the water as well.

## Summary

Shin-Ae returns to the spot where Nol and Kousuke fought, seeing that the blood is no longer there. Sim-Han comes up to Shin-Ae and talks with her about her explosion from earlier, saying that he wants to talk. Shin-Ae says that she's feeling a lot of things all at once and Sim-Han expresses how he was upset that he saw her rushing to see Nol but not to go to his AA meeting, then he apologizes for making plans while she was sleeping. He says that he wants her around, but she can go if there's something else important to her. Shin-Ae agrees to go with him to the AA meeting.

Meanwhile, Yui is looking at the AA meeting flyer while telling a maid that she plans on relaxing at home that night.

Kousuke is sitting on his couch at home, and Hansuke is asking him if he needs anything, but Kousuke says he doesn't and that he would like to be alone, so Hansuke leaves. Kousuke turns on very loud music and gets ready for bed, looking at the photo of him at graduation. He remembers what Yui said when Rand left on that day, and reflects back on when he first saw Nessa and Nol.

He then throws the photo on the floor, causing the glass to shatter. He stares at it, remembering Yu Jing questioning what happened during the "violent incident" with Nol. He kneels down, reflecting on what Yui said about Nol, as he picks up a shard of glass, cutting his fingers on it.
