This page contains **spoilers** for **Episode 142** of  *I Love Yoo*

## Summary

Dieter runs into Shin-Ae at the arcade. Shin-Ae, relieved to see him, runs towards him then grabs his arms, happily asks if Nol or Soushi are here with him. Dieter tells her that Soushi is trying desperately at the claw machine and thought Nol would be with her since they both work at the same place. Concerned, Dieter asks what Shin-Ae is doing here, and Shin-Ae answers by saying that she's supposed to be celebrating but in reality it is for stress relief as she is feeling stressed out as of late. Dieter asks if Kousuke is here with her, in which Shin-Ae says that he's in the restroom at the moment.

While Kousuke is washing his face in the bathroom, he thinks back to when he was younger, and his daily routine, which blends together from day to day, repeat after repeat. Until a particular day like no other took place at the park when his mother told him to stay while she made a phone call and that is where he met Nol. Nol asked him to be friends, but Kousuke questioned him *"Why would I ever want you to be my friend?"* in addition to asking more questions on **‘who he is’** and **‘why he looks like him’**. Nol had no clue on who he is talking about. Nol approached him, but Kousuke told him to *"stay back!"* . Nol questioned him as to why Kousuke is scared of him, but Kousuke denied being scared of him before running away, then tripped over a rock.

Nol approached him and picked up his 'gamething'. Kousuke took it back, asked if his parents - especially his father - ever taught him about manners. Nol said that he never met his dad, said it's cool that Kousuke's parents allowed him to have video game consoles and asked him again to be friends. Kousuke said that he will never give Nol his 'gamething' . He added that it needed to be thrown away since the screen is cracked. Immediately after, Nol asked if he can have it.

Kousuke asked Nol what his father is like and Nol described his father according to what his mother said about him. Afterwards, he again asked if he can have the 'gamething' now. Kousuke said that he never said he was going to give it to him, and Nol pleaded with him. Kousuke walked off, said he has a strict schedule he needs to follow. Nol responded by saying *"that's sad."*

As a result, Kousuke said that he has important things to do, added *"If it's true I have a brother...”* *“you're nothing but a mistake!”* *“There can only be one heir and that is going to be me."*

Nol's mother came over relieved, told Nol not to run off on his own. Nol apologized.

## Summary

Shin-Ae notices the redhead boy, who she calls Mr. Stalker is passed out on the ground.

She calls over the cab driver who asks if they should take him to his home, her home, or the hospital. Shin-Ae remarks that there is no way they are taking a stranger to her home. Mr. Stalker barely is able to speak but manages to tell her that he refuses to go to a hospital, because he doesn't want to cause a commotion and... doesn't have health insurance.

He recognizes their descriptions and tells the girls that Shin-Ae left completely wasted with a man. The girls panic even more.

At the same time, Shin-Ae is in the backseat of the cab with the redhead. The cab driver tells her to keep him on his side so he doesn't choke on his own vomit, and remarks that the redhead does not stink of booze.

Then, the cab driver suggests she calls one of the read-head's friends to let them know he is going to the hospital.

In the present, Meg receives a message from Yu Jing on facepage, which causes Meg to look irritated. At the restaurant, Yu Jing informs Shin-Ae Yoo that she already sent the message on facepage.

Shin-Ae and Kousuke go to eat dinner, and Shin-Ae points out Kousuke's hair, asking if there is a special occasion. Kousuke asks if there is a problem with it, to which Shin-Ae says she prefers his older hairstyle, as it made him look more approachable.

He says that they met before, but had issues, and at one point Nol was so unstable that he had to get sent away to a mental facility for two years. It was only after Nol got released that his father introduced them.

## Summary

At the hospital, Shin-Ae sees two boys walk towards her. One immediately recognizes her as the girl who bumped into Yeong-Gi at the party. The Q-Tip(Kousuke Hirahara) does not recognize her. When Shin-Ae realizes this, she decides to disguise her voice, which works temporarily, and then Kousuke recognizes her as the 'fat ass' from the party. She throws her shoes at Kousuke and runs away. He yells to the nurses to catch her.

One nurse restrains Shin-Ae in a wheel chair. Kousuke, otherwise known as Q-Tip, yells at the nurses for restraining her. She thanks him for starting to let him go, and he says she isn't off the hook yet, and that he has questions for her.

He asks for her name, and when she doesn't respond, he stops untying her and begins to leave. Then she introduces herself as Shin-Ae Yoo. He then begins asking her how many people know about the accident with Yeong-Gi (the redhead). She says no one but her and the cab driver, and he is relieved.

Then, Maya and Rika enter the hospital and see a restrained Shin-Ae being questioned by Kousuke. They assume he is a pervert, and Maya attacks him while Rika lets Shin-Ae go. Kousuke tries to explain and calls to Shin-Ae, but she points a middle finger at him. He then quietly says that he wanted to thank her, but seeing her flip him the middle finger he quickly changes his mind.

Nessa Lochlainn

**Nessa Lochlainn** is the daughter of Eleanor Lochlainn and the mother of Yeong-Gi.

## Relationships

### Yeong-Gi/Nol

Nol and Nessa had a close relationship. When Nol was in kindergarten, the children would comment on his long name and when he asked his mother for a shorter name, she came up with the name Nol, which is both a nickname of his first name Nolan and an abbreviation of Nolan Oliver Lochlainn. According to Eleanor, Nessa used to sing Nol to sleep. She was shown to often tease Nol such as when she pretended he had a spider on his back to make him stay still, so she could tug the tag of his shirt in. She then called him a "cute little ducky" and blew raspberries on his cheek, to which he reacted annoyed and betrayed by her act.

When Nol was around 10 years old, Nessa supposedly killed herself and he believes he's at fault for it.

### Eleanor Lochlainn

Eleanor is the mother of Nessa. She described Nessa as a good person who was always honest and would never be with someone for their money. Back when Nessa helped her at the autoshop, she would often get annoyed when she sung a song that was out of character for her (Nessa was usually a rock and roll type of gal, according to Eleanor). This song is also the song that Nessa used to sing Nol to sleep with and Eleanor learned to play it on the piano.

Long before Nol's birth, Nessa and Eleanor had a fight that ended up with them cutting ties. When she was tracked down by Randulph Hirahara to take care of Nol, Nessa was already dead. Eleanor holds deep regrets for never trying to reach out to Nessa and believes she should have been there to talk her out of her suicide.

### Randulph Skuli Hirahara

Not much is known about their relationship, however, it is heavily implied that they were truly in love. Nessa and Randulph would often exchange letters, all of which Rand carried with him for several years after her passing in a bible that used to be in her possession. In one of the letters, she encouraged him to smile whenever life gets tough, ending the letter with "I love you". According to Nessa, Rand was weird, funny and kind – all of which are parts that neither Kousuke, nor Nol ever witnessed in him. Eleanor, despite her dislike of Randulph, firmly believes Nessa saw something in him because she would never fall in love with someone as cold as he is now.

## Summary

At the cinema, Hansuke asks the group if they were alright with watching a horror movie called *THAT: Chapter Two*. Shin-Ae is uncomfortable because of Kousuke's presence.

During the movie, Hansuke and Soushi freak out, and Shin-Ae ends up leaving the theater and getting some snacks, because of how stressful the screaming was.

She plans on texting Maya about their previous argument, but decides it's better if they talk in person. She also decides not to constantly attempt to call Min-Hyuk. While walking back into the theater, Shin-Ae bumps into Kousuke, who is frustrated that Hansuke accidentally stained his jacket (although Shin-Ae cannot see it). He asks her as to what she and Yujing were discussing, and Shin-Ae says that they were simply talking about his past relationship with her, and that she already knew most of the things Yujing said. Kousuke asks Shin-Ae if he could come to the party, much to her shock.

## Summary

ON the school rooftop, Rika talks with Shin-Ae about the promise she made with Min-Hyuk, and says that she does care about Shin-Ae. Shin-Ae tells Rika that Maya is sitting in the cafeteria to reevaluate, and says that Maya probably needs her more than Shin-Ae does.

Min-Hyuk appears, saying that he came to visit old friends in the school. He jokes around the fact that Shin-Ae was still not wearing the pizza headband and that she's pretty close to Dieter Becker-Wulff.

Shin-Ae and Rika head to class, with the former saying that she has work at night as well. After class, Min-Hyuk greets Dieter and asks to go hangout at WacDonalds. He thanks Dieter for being a good friend to Shin-Ae, and further teases him about his relationship with her. He also tells Dieter that he shouldn't abandon Shin-Ae. Dieter then notices Kousuke Hirahara in the plaza, and points him out. When Min-Hyuk asks about Kousuke, Dieter start describing him, but realizes that Min-Hyuk ran off to meet him.

Outside, Min-Hyuk complements Kousuke's coat, only for the scenery to get awkward. Kousuke asks if he wants money, assuming he is a beggar, judging by his clothes. He further says "Just an honest observation. I don't mean to offend". Kousuke starts walking away, after dismissing him, which prompts Min-Hyuk to say that his head looks like an egg. He further mocks the same words Kousuke said to him, irritating the latter. He threatens to call the authorities on Min-Hyuk, but then Randulph Skuli Hirahara arrives.

## Summary

Sang-Chul wakes up in his office, and Assistant Jayce walks in to tell him that he carried him back from the lounge where he fainted. Sang-Chul assumes that he was on drugs.

Outside in the plaza, Min-Hyuk Park and Dieter offer to stay at WacDonalds during Shin-Ae's shift, but Shin-Ae insists that she's okay. Once she leaves, Dieter tells Min-Hyuk that they should trust her to be independent to fend for herself, judging by her encounter with Sang-Chul. They plan to return the bear suit before realising that it's getting late.

In the WacDonalds locker room, Shin-Ae falls asleep after changing. In the dream, she is wearing a red dress, and sees a bird. She walks towards it, and notices the cracks forming below her feet. She then notices that the bird disappeared, and that Shin-Hye was right behind her.

Shin-Ae wakes up, and notices a shift manager who asks if she's alright. She tells him that she's working two jobs, which concerns the manager. She explains that doesn't know which one to pick, while the manager says that he would choose the one that pays more. Even though he tells her that she can quit being a cashier, she says that she dislikes her office job. The manager says that people need to do what they need to in order to "make ends meet", and asks Shin-Ae what she wants to do in the future, which is something she is unsure of.

Two days later, Kousuke gets a call from Hansuke, who's asking if they could go to a nightclub. Kousuke informs him that Nol's hearing will be on the next day. Hansuke talks about going to the nightclub, while Kousuke receives a message from Yu Jing, saying that she's going to be at Hirahara Corp. to interview Nol. Kousuke ends the call with Hansuke, and hears the front door being unlocked. He goes downstairs and sees his mother entering.

Sim Han tells him that he decides that he should read rather than drink whenever it comes to his stress. Reading also helps with his mental stimulation. Min-Hyuk brings up the fact that Sim Han was planning to go back to college, but the latter responds that he's too old. Min-Hyuk says that there are also old people in his college at Chicago, but Sim Han says that he won't be able to afford it.

He laughs and tells her she looks good. Meg remarks that the two of them need to 'get a room' and that they are making her nauseous. Alyssa says they need to hurry inside, and Meg grabs Alyssa and runs into the ballroom, while Nol waits outside in the lobby, his smile drops.

I Love Yoo

***I Love Yoo*** is a featured drama Webtoon comic produced by Quimchee. It premiered on April 7, 2017. It has 4.7 million readers on Webtoon, and currently has a rating of 9.74/10 stars.

The story revolves around Shin-Ae Yoo, a teenager who's trying her best to get through life as much as she can, trying to avoid causing trouble. The course of her boring yet tragic life took a turn when she came across two wealthy brothers who have it against each other.

## Synopsis

*Dodged by pain and misfortune from the very beginning, Shin-Ae decides she wants nothing to do with people nor anything to do with romance. Although content with her unsocial, boring, loveless existence, her lifestyle is challenged after she ruins an unsuspecting strangers' clothes.*

## Main Characters

### Shin-Ae Yoo

Prone to misfortune, as shown from the very first episode. She is also caring and hardworking, as she is always trying to make ends meet so that her and her father can live a happy life. She has a bleak perspective when it comes to certain situations, but tries her best to make people see the positives. Responsible and tom-boyish, Shin-Ae never participates in anything girly but because of her sense of responsibility and love for her father, she's willing to put herself in some seriously sticky situations. She also is a big fan of food.

### Yeong-Gi / Nol

Bubbly and outgoing although he usually is more dismal when he's able to be by himself. Yeong-Gi, referred to as Nol by his family, is a bit pushy or clingy at times, but only with the people he cares for. Despite having a girlfriend, he is able to make friends with everyone, including Shin-Ae. Yeong-Gi will put up a front in order to make people less concerned, showing his caring nature, and dealing with family burdens by himself. When he is truly himself he loves to crack jokes, full of puns, and a child at heart, and has a bit of a rivalry against his older brother. He is heavily implied to be the illegitimate son of Mr. Hirahara and another woman.

### Kousuke Hirahara

Cold, quiet demeanor. He's shown to care quite a lot about his appearance and the appearances of those he associates with. He's typically calm and professional around his peers, but it's quickly shown that he has a short temper when it comes to his brother, Shin-Ae, or Meg. He's rather uncompromising in his views. He may act cold and standoff-ish, but when it comes to Shin-Ae he seems more caring and gentle some of the time. He seems to have some kind of attraction to her but lacks the awareness to fully acknowledge it. Therefore, he doesn't seem to have a problem treating her quite harshly when he believes it to be necessary.
