Episode-12 (Part-1)

Let me feed your loneliness with SikHye’s loveliness. Of course, it is another episode of Hye-Jin’s clingy, cutesy, cringy moment. Nevertheless, it’s heartwarming how Hye-Jin adores Du-Sik. She waits for him at his house and welcomes him home with an endearing love. No wonder Du-Sik can’t seem to help being smitten and hugs her every time. Before tonight’s episode drops, TvN is giving us a sneaky preview about Hye-Jin asking Du-Sik to wash up because they’re about to do something. Calm yourself down, SikHye lovers. It turns out, Hye-Jin is asking him to do yoga together. Don’t worry. Nobody is more disappointed than Du-Sik himself.

After giving up doing some Yoga poses, Hye-Jin invites him to meditate which happens to be the only poses that Du-Sik enjoys. After he closes his eyes, Hye-Jin wittily teases him that he looks adorable as a puppy. Du-Sik cutely tells Hye-Jin that he looks like a mix of cat and puppy, followed by Hye-Jin’s sudden aegyo with honey dripping on their eyes. Hold on. It does not stop there. Hye-Jin finds his dimple adorable and kisses it. Du-Sik kisses her dimple back and suddenly they can’t stop kissing each other’s dimples in the most adorable way.

After teasing each other, Du-Sik tries to go for another kiss but Hye-Jin hilariously backs down because she has not yet brushed her teeth. So the next thing that they do is brushing each other’s teeth. While Hye-Jin finds it romantic, Du-Sik finds it odd but still happily plays along. See? Regardless of what they do, it will give us the whole zoo in our stomach anyway.

“Let’s do everything together for a long time.”

The next day, our dimple couple is seen adorably sulking over the school uniform. Hye-Jin insists on taking a couple of photos of them wearing school uniforms but Du-Sik eagerly refuses… But he gives in anyway. Anything for our Hye-Jin. After getting the photo she wants, Hye-Jin is asking what he wants to do with her. Du-Sik shows off his pamper side by saying he is tired; sitting and doing nothing together will do. Hye-Jin sulks again and bids farewell to go home. Du-Sik is surprised by her response and asks her to stay.

Upon stopping her, Du-Sik finds a paper. It’s Hye-Jin’s bucket list. Du-Sik reads the list out loud while Hye-Jin tries to reach her paper out of embarrassment. She even checks everything they did. After finding out her bucket list, Du-Sik hugs her. He pampers her by asking what she wants to do first based on the list. Hye-Jin asks him for a Seoul date on the weekend. She cutely warns him that they’ll do many things on the list. Du-Sik hugs her again, stating that they can take their time because he wants everything together for a long time.

“He’s so dense, it’s frustrating.”

Hwa-Jeong and Mr. Chang gather to celebrate Yi-Joon’s achievement of winning the silver medal. Of course, their encounters are not complete without bickering here and there. Hwa-Jeong tells Yi-Joon that they do not gather to eat together only because he wins a competition. “I thought it is the purpose of us eating together right now,” Mr. Chang interrupts.

Hwa-Jeong continues to insist that even if he does not win anything, they can still eat together like this in the future. From this scene, we can see that Mr. Chang got a poor sense of sensitivity and is quite self-centered. Well, he’s a civil servant after all. He has that tendency and needs to be directed and told what to do to understand the context. Hwa-Jeong tries to imply how they should spend more quality time for Yi-Joon’s even if nothing is happening at all.

A few days later, Mr. Chang finds his secretary in front of Hwa-Jeong’s restaurant where he gives back the same bottle that he sees when he’s having a hangover. Later, his secretary reveals that he’s been doing the Hwa-Jeong’s favor in secret such as giving Mr. Chang’s tonic for his joint and hangover soups for his nasty hangover. But she’s been adamant about making it like it is from him instead. “You’re so clueless. She may speak harshly to you but she cares a lot about you,” he says.

But Mr. Chang is not the only clueless man in Gongjin. There is also this man named Eun-Cheol. Tired of seeing their lovey-dovey scene all over their home, Mi-Seon decides to take a walk to buy roast chicken instead. She encounters Eun-Cheol along the way where he decides to tag along. While waiting for their chicken, Mi-Seon casually talks about his confession at the clinic and complains that he gives up easily. Eun-Cheol is surprised that she understands what he’s saying and insist that he never gives up. Rather than confessing, he apologizes for being slow-minded. Even the chicken seller is frustrated at him and later pushes him to confess after knocking some sense out of him that Mi-Seon is already giving him a signal of approval.

Suddenly, Eun-Cheol is on his knee, holding a grilled chicken, and announcing their official relationship to the world: “I’ll be good to you!” he shouts, which surprises and puts Mi-Seon in both joyousness and embarrassment. This couple is so extra yet awkwardly adorable.

Jealousy in the bites of Chicken Drumsticks.

They say love is like a spell that magically transforms people. Well, our Chief Hong has fallen greatly under its spell then. After another day of embracing each other, Du-Sik finds himself trapped inside the flames of jealousy after Hye-Jin shows concern over Sung-Hyun-looking unwellness. She asks him to take care of Sung-Hyun for her. “If you’re having chicken tonight, make sure to give him the drumstick,” Well guess what happens? Du-Sik is eating all drumsticks for himself instead. Even though Chun-Jae is giving it to Sung-Hyun.

Sung-Hyun notices that his beloved brother is acting up, he approaches Du-Sik who is eating his snack all alone outside the cafe. He later confesses that Hye-Jin is worried about him looking gaunt. Sung-Hyun starts to complain that Du-Sik should be grateful because he is able to experience various emotions because of Yoon Hye-Jin. He’d rather feel jealous than be pitied. Du-Sik realizes his lame behavior and asks him to take good care of himself so his girlfriend can feel at ease.

Not long after that, Writer Wang joins the duo because it’s loud inside. Sung-Hyun is concerned because her back is not really in a good condition to sit on the floor but she adamantly says she’s okay. Later, Sung-Hyun says he is grateful because Hye-Jin still shows concern towards him. Yup, another man has joined the Gongjin-dense-man club. There’s a slightly different expression on her face upon hearing it and Du-Sik seems to read the situation. Little did Sung-Hyun knows that this will finally take a toll on their professional relationship later on.

Du-Sik leaves the squad early and flies to his girlfriend’s side to sincerely apologize for being childish towards the situation due to his jealousy. It is something that feels new for him, too. Hye-Jin adorably teases him and finds the new side of him is charming and cute. Yes, Hye-Jin. We all agree with you.
