InHee and GaeIn are in Sangojae’s courtyard continuing to argue about whether or not JinHo is a man who would be susceptible to InHee’s female wiles when GaeIn announces that JinHo won’t ever go to her because he’s gay! InHee is shocked. “Gay!?” she squeals in disbelief. GaeIn snits, “Actually, you’re so good at seduction, go ahead and give it a try with him too. You never know, maybe you’ll even change his sexual orientation with your charms.” InHee can’t quite believe it. InHee wants to know if GaeIn is trying to replace her with a gay man. Frankly, GaeIn thinks being with a gay man is preferable than a hetero female friend who’ll stab a person in the back first chance she gets. InHee’s not one to take insults quietly. “Instead of blaming me for stealing your boyfriend,” she advises, “why don’t you ask yourself what you might have done to chase him away?” She points out GaeIn’s lack of attention to her appearance, her inclination for sweats and manly clothing the main point of insult. “What man in this world would possibly see you as a woman?”

GaeIn’s had enough and demands that she leave. InHee has balls of steel and she screeches at GaeIn that she has no where else to go! GaeIn stands her ground and doesn’t care, insisting InHee leave. This surprises InHee who is used to GaeIn eventually/always giving in. InHee nods thoughtfully, “Okay, you’re right, maybe we still need more time to think about what happened.” Even GaeIn is shocked by the other woman’s flippancy. Was this the InHee that had been her friend all these years? InHee does, however, finally leave.

Our heroine doesn’t have very long to wallow in her own misery because the next confrontation comes out of his room, arms crossed and stone-faced. “Who exactly are you calling gay?” he wants to know, trying to control is outrage. She apologizes, “I’m sorry, I know you want to keep it all a secret. I just lost my temper and it came bursting out.” But with an undeniable talent for saying the wrong things at the wrong time, she continues, “Just because you want keep it a secret doesn’t mean it’ll stay a secret, you know. People can tell.” He repeats incredulously, “Can tell!?” She lectures on, “I understand, your personal preference is none of my business and that’s fine, but being a two-timing cheater is not okay with me.” He repeats with even more incredulity, “Cheater!?” She further informs him that he needs to hurry up and decide between the man at the motel and the boyfriend that came today to sign papers with him. He really shouldn’t string both of them along. “Love can really leave long-lasting scars, people who’ve never been hurt like that have no idea,” she finishes. Really, JinHo has nothing to say, absolutely nothing to say to her tirade. From his being gay to cheating on SangJoon for TaeHoon, it leaves him completely speechless and he just stares at nothing, his lips twisting in dismay. He reviews their past encounters in his mind and guffaws, he really can’t believe that this woman actually thinks he’s gay!

Since it’s not in his nature to indulge people in their stupidity or the type that deems it necessary to go at length to explain or justify his actions, he settles for silent seething. Why should he bother to clarify anything when he is not at fault for the misunderstanding in the first place? It is all a product of her own imagination, after all. In his room, he starts throwing his recently unpacked clothes back into his suitcase and stomps into her work shed. He’s dressed to leave but she doesn’t see that because he’s loudly demanding her cell phone number. She gives it to him. He texts her his bank account number, “Wire my lease deposit here. I’ll be back for the rest of my belongings later.” She can’t believe he’s so upset about an accidental case of loose lips that he’s actually going to move out. Driving away, JinHo is still steamed at having his manhood questioned. He is not gay!

The next morning JinHo is sucking down espresso shots and sporting some dark bags under his eyes. SangJoon assumes GaeIn tried to jump JinHo’s hot bod their first night alone together thereby making sleep difficult for his young boss. JinHo is mute. When he attempts to share the story of being mistaken for a gay man…he can’t bring himself to say the words out loud. He just tells SangJoon that they’ll just have to forget about Sangojae and do what they always do, rely on their talents and just do their best for the Dan Art Gallery project. Whatever they do, one thing is for sure, he is not going to live with that crazy woman.

But SangJoon doesn’t like this new plan of action. He takes a trip down the pity party lane and contemplates a future where he’s bagging groceries after M Construction goes into the gutter. JinHo listens to the one man whine fest feeling guilty. And tired of his own life.
