REWATCH: Personal Taste - Ep 6 - Part 1 of 2
The head doesn’t know yet
At the MS Group party celebrating the Dam Art Gallery project, we rejoin the fray between JinHo, GaeIn and HyeMi.JinHo is still urgently trying to prevent GaeIn from causing another scene, most especially her determination to announce his secret which, in fact, is not really his secret so much as her manufactured one. Unfortunately, she’s too worked up about the heartbreak heading HyeMi’s way to allow herself to be pacified by his pleas to keep quiet.
Despite the fact that she now considers JinHo a friend, and she should know not to meddle in his business anymore, her indignation is a force to be reckoned with; it is being spurred on by an excess of alcohol and her own heartbreak at the hands of man. “In a situation like this,” she is saying to JinHo in an alarmingly loud voice, “you have to settle your affairs! I already told you how painful heartbreak can be for a person!” HyeMi has heard enough. She interprets GaeIn’s vague words about a secret JinHo is harboring to mean GaeIn has been having a secret relationship with him.
She throws a glass of cold water into GaeIn’s stunned face.
“What do you think you’re doing—?!” JinHo yells at HyeMi but bites his temper mid-sentence when HyeMi’s eyes widen in teary surprise. She can’t believe that her JinHo is actually raising his voice in anger at her. Getting a handle on his frustration, he grabs HyeMi by the arm, “Come with me.” TaeHoon follows JinHo and HyeMi out while SangJoon fusses over the drenched GaeIn, who doesn’t know why she was the one who had to ‘swallow water’ when all she wanted to do was spare HyeMi from future heartache. JinHo’s earlier lessons about self-control have apparently not stuck with GaeIn. It seems he wasn’t wrong. GaeIn’s biggest obstacle to herself is her own over-eagerness, in all things, whether it be in love or meddling in the affairs of her friends.
Nearby, President Han is standing with ChangYul, regarding the scene between JinHo and his group in shrewd fascination. His son next to him, however, carries upon his face a more invested concern, one that hints at some leftover feelings for the woman he had dumped. He can’t tear his gaze away from GaeIn and the pitiful sight she makes at this moment. Perhaps it is just pity for a person in a sorry situation, but more likely he can’t completely shake the feeling that she is his ‘wet puppy.’ In fact, he looks one exhaled breath away from running over to her side himself.
InHee, who has also witnessed the water-throwing scene, snickers in satisfaction, “That’s what you get for coming here.” To finish her thought that is not actually spoken but implied: that’s what you get for coming to a place where a nobody like you does not belong.
In the ladies restroom wiping up, GaeIn is whimpering to herself that it’s not fair that she was the one punished when she did nothing wrong. She’s about to head back to the party when she feels a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She doubles over a bit and gingerly heads into a stall.
“Stop crying, you look like a panda!” TaeHoon alternately insults and tries to comfort HyeMi. In the parking garage, HyeMi is still in hysterics over JinHo’s supposed betrayal of her love. Her make-up has smeared down her face in long streaks. Inappropriately (as always), SangJoon tsks, “Yeah, look at skater Kim Yuna, her mascara never runs even when she cries! You need to find out what brand she uses and that’s the one you should be buying.” He wags his finger at HyeMi in all seriousness. “Aigoo,” SangJoon sniffs airily, turning away from the hiccuping girl as if disgusted by the very sight of HyeMi’s smeared liner.
JinHo can’t help but shoot SangJoon a momentary ‘what the—?’ look of dismay at the unhelpful comment before refocusing his attention back to HyeMi. “Why are you even here?” JinHo wants to know. HyeMi ignores the question and continues to wail about GaeIn, “What is she to you? Who is that woman? Why is she here as your partner for an event like this!?” JinHo pleads with HyeMi to go home, his voice brotherly but firm, “She’s not anything to me so please just go. TaeHoon, take her home.” Even as TaeHoon picks HyeMi up and gets her into his car, she continues to cry for JinHo in a shrill, paint-peeling voice, spreading her arms out in a frantic reach for him. She’s like a child reaching for the favored teddy bear that’s being denied her.
