(Hot Love Issue)

This is Tul,

my ex-boyfriend. The one I told you about.

I have a mole on the inside.

I was recently informed that CJ is committing fraud.

Meanwhile, I need you to distract her

from this investigation.

The new owner is asking you to move out within three days.

Who's this new owner?

Why are they so heartless?

That would be me.

I'm giving you three days.

Hurry up and move out.

It was your doing, wasn't it?

A sexual deviant?

That's right! I'm a sexual deviant!

So why won't you leave me alone?

CJ.

What's wrong? Why are you making that face?

I'm shocked. I didn't expect Irene to throw such a tantrum.

I feel bad.

You've got me at a loss for words.

You are smiling despite the intense situation.

I'm smiling because my plan succeeded.

Listen.

Now, we have to spread the rumor

that Irene and her mother are fighting.

CJ couldn't accept Irene's sexual orientation,

so Irene insulted her at the office

and caused a scene.

Let's turn the whole company against Irene.

Is that all?

Of course not.

The deal abroad that we gave Irene will never take place.

They will email to cancel the deal soon.

I told them that Irene stole the project from me.

They aren't happy about it.

You are a devil.

No, that's not all.

There's also the fraud that CJ committed.

Watch me destroy CJ and Irene.

You are

pure evil.

I'll take that as a compliment.

(Passport)

Where are you, Night?

What did my mother do to you?

Aunt Jo.

Irene's back. We have to run away.

Run where?

My old workplace won't take me back.

We have nowhere to go.

Why don't we

move to the countryside?

We can go anywhere.

I have some money saved up.

It will last us a month or two.

In the meantime, we can find a new job.

Please, Aunt Jo.

Night, are you done packing?

Listen.

Take only what you need.

We have the place until the end of the month.

We can come back for our stuff later.

- I see. - Come on. I'll help you.

We can't miss the bus.

Night.

Night, what's wrong? Night!

You are burning up. Night!

Night.

Night, what's wrong?

Night.

Aunt Jo.

Is anyone inside? Night?

Irene.

- Aunt Jo. - Irene.

Irene, Night needs help.

Is anyone inside?

Aunt Jo.

Irene, you have to help Night.

What's wrong with Night?

She fainted and she's burning up.

What?

Hurry.

Thank you.

Night.

You're awake.

Aunt Jo.

What happened to me?

You have a fever.

Aunt Jo said

you had been crying nonstop and starving yourself.

Aunt Jo.

Night.

Do you feel better now?

Let Irene take you to see a doctor.

I'm fine.

I don't need a doctor.

Our bus is leaving soon.

We should go.

Night.

You're not going anywhere. You're staying here.

You can't run away from me,

no matter how hard you try.

Listen to her.

If you won't see a doctor, then take some medicine

and get some rest.

We'll figure something out later.

Good girl.

Listen to me and do as I say.

It's best for you.

Get some rest.

Freeze Irene's credit cards

and all of her bank accounts.

Cut her off.

Soon,

you will come crawling back to me,

Irene.

Night.

You're up.

Your temperature is normal now.

Are you hungry?

Aunt Jo made you porridge.

I'll get some for you.

Wait, Irene.

We need to talk.

Let's break up.

Did you hear me? Let's break up.

Break up?

Why?

Because...

I'll agree only if it's because you don't love me anymore.

But if this is about someone else,

I'm not breaking up with you.

We can't be together.

Don't you understand?

You and I will never happen.

Everything's ruined.

It's over.

It's my fault for falling in love with you.

Calm down.

Do you remember when I said...

I will always stand by you,

no matter what?

Just do as I say.

No.

We're not breaking up.

Let go.

I have nothing left.

I don't have any money.

My mother has seized all my bank accounts

and cut ties with me.

I can't go back to work either

because people are saying

that I physically assaulted my own mother.

Don't you see?

I ruined your life again.

I hurt Aunt Jo too.

Her beloved bar

that she built from the ground

is closed because of me.

Other horrible things will happen to you

if we keep dating.

Why, Night?

Why are you choosing

to let go of my hand instead of holding onto it even tighter?

Let's go our own way and start anew.

Your mother will forgive you

and give everything back to you

if you break up with me.

Aunt Jo and I

will find a new place to live.

I need a fresh start too.

No, Night.

Don't break up with me.

We can get through this together.

I'm not letting go of your hand.

What should I do?

What should I do now?

Farewell, Irene.

Can't you help me out, Sarah?

Convince Madame to take me back.

Night and I are in a bad place.

If she thinks I'm too old to perform,

I'm happy to be a makeup artist backstage.

Yes.

Night.

Night.

I have to go. I'll call you back.

What's wrong?

Aunt Jo.

Night ran away.

As long as I'm here,

you won't be able to forget me.

It's best that I leave.

Goodbye, Irene.

Darn it, Night.

Why didn't you tell me first?

Don't worry.

I will find her.

How?

I don't know.

I'll start by searching the bus stations.

She can't be far.

Let's go. I'll come with you.

It's okay. You should wait here.

I'll contact you right away if I find her.

I'm counting on you.

Don't worry.

I promise

I will bring her back.

I'll get ready then.

Aunt Jo.

What brings you here?

Can you take me to see Irene's mother?

I...

What business do you have with her?

It's none of your business.

Just take me to her.

Don't bother begging.

I won't let you keep the bar.

I'm not here to talk about the bar.

I'm here to talk about Irene.

Why?

Did she send you?

She must be struggling financially.

Nobody sent me.

I came because I wanted to.

Say what you came to say then.

I don't have time for your nonsense.

Time is money for me.

CJ.

Do you remember

how you felt when you were pregnant with Irene?

Just get to the point. Don't beat around the bush.

Do you remember

how much you loved that girl?

You still loved her whenever she misbehaved

because she was your daughter.

But now,

she is a woman who loves women.

Is that a good enough reason for you to hate her?

It's none of your business.

She's my daughter.

You might be her mother, but you don't own her.

It's her life.

She gets to decide what she wants.

Over my dead body.

Life is short.

Why make her wait that long

just to be happy?

You can let her be happy now.

Hey.

Who are you to lecture me?

CJ.

I'm a nobody.

I'm a father who loves her daughter and wants to see her happy.

I'm not here

to ask you for anything.

I just want you to open your heart

and let our daughters be happy together.

I might not have money

or power...

but I have always had dignity and honor as a transwoman.

However,

I'm ready to lose my dignity

and do anything you say.

Please let our girls be happy together.

Please give them a chance to be happy.

I'm begging you.

I want you to reconsider your decision carefully

before you lose Irene forever.

CJ, the board has requested an urgent meeting.

Apparently, a fraud has been reported.

- Aunt Jo. - Irene.

Any sign of Night?

Not at all.

But don't worry.

I'll hire a detective to look for her.

But...

But what?

It's expensive.

I don't have money now, Aunt Jo.

Do you have any?

Money?

Sell this. You'll get a lot for it.

I'll ask for help from some friends if it's not enough.

But we have to find Night no matter what.

I'm sorry, Aunt Jo.

I caused you all this trouble.

No, don't blame yourself.

When we're happy, we share the happiness.

And when we're struggling,

we have to hold hands and get through it together.

It's me who should be thanking you

for always staying with me through thick and thin.

I'd probably be in a worse shape

without you as well.

Why is Tul bothering me now?

Why didn't you answer? It might be important.

Irene, have you heard the news?

About what?

The board wants to investigate CJ about fraud in the company.

She's been suspended and forbidden to come into her office.

And that includes you too.

You've been forbidden to come in as well.

What should we do?

Just forget it.

I don't care anymore.

But your mother might go to jail for this.

Why did you call me? What do you actually want?

I don't think it's safe to discuss it on the phone.

Let's do it this way.

Meet me tomorrow at this hotel. I'll send you the location.

Well done, Tul.

We'll be able to settle this tomorrow.

Her end is our beginning, isn't it?

Hello. Are you still looking for a bartender?

Should I send an email to the address in the post?

And when will I hear back...

Night?

Don't worry about me, Aunt Jo. I'm fine.

I'll come and get you once I've found a job.

"Don't tell Irene that I messaged you."

Oh, Night. Why are you doing this?

Why did you turn your phone off?

CJ.

I'm here to talk about our daughters.

I have nothing left now.

I don't have a reputation to maintain anymore.

You're punctual, Irene.

Hurry up and say what you want.

I don't have all day.

Are you going to find Night? I don't think you'll find her.

Can you stay out of this?

Come on. Be nice.

I don't want to be nice. Is there a problem?

So, what's the matter?

If you don't want your mother to go to jail...

Sign this acknowledgment form

and pay off the debt.

It's a lot though.

The money your mother embezzled.

Who are you calling?

I'm calling the company's legal team, of course.

I'm curious as to why you're handling this matter.

Because I think you have a temper, so I'm handling it on your behalf.

It will be faster too.

Put your phone away, Irene.

I said put it away!

Tell me.

What exactly did my mom do?

Nothing fraudulent.

It's a grey area. Nothing illegal.

But Faye sympathizes with her.

So instead of the grey area,

she forged the documents and turned it black.

She turned something innocent into a crime.

You're conspiring with Faye?

That's right. We're conspiring together.

Surprise.

You're such a scumbag.

What have you both done?

Just a tiny bit of document forgery.

Would you like to see it? It's on this tablet.

But you have to sign the form before I can let you see it.

So? What do you want me to sign?

And if I sign it, my mom won't go to jail, right?

I guarantee that everything will be all right.

It's time you met your match.

You think you're so tough?

Don't you act all tough with me.

Come here.

You think you're so tough?

I won't tolerate any lip from someone like you!

You and Faye are going to jail!

Irene, where have you been? I was worried about you.

And how did it go with Tul?

Are you okay?

I'm fine, Aunt Jo.

I just went through something horrible

and felt like hugging someone.

Mom?

How did you get here?

Irene?

What happened to you?

Why is your skin red?

Tul hurt me.

Tul, you scumbag!

Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?

I'm okay, Aunt Jo.

It's Tul who's in bad shape.

I beat him up real bad.

What's this?

There's evidence that Tul and Faye framed you on there.

And in that bag

is medicine and a medical certificate from a doctor.

I went to get a check-up as proof of physical assault.

I'll send you the video clip too.

You can deal with everything yourself.

I don't want to be part of this anymore.

Irene,

please be nice to her.

She understands everything now.

Aunt Jo, I don't want to discuss this anymore.

The only thing I want to know is

where Night is right now.

Irene.

Night?

You came back for me?

Do you know what Tul did to me?

I was scared I wouldn't get to see you again.

But when I thought of you,

I struggled and did everything so I'd survive.

Don't leave me again.

Please.

I'm sorry, Irene.

I was thinking too much

and was anxious about everything.

Then I decided to leave you.

But now, I've realized

how important you are to me.

I'll never leave you, Irene.

Let me have a look at you.

What did Tul do to you? Are you hurt anywhere?

I'll blow all the pain away.

Here. Here. Here. And here.

Right here too.

Whoa, let me see.

That's quite red.

Please don't do that again, okay?

I'll blow the pain away.

Better?

Don't be naughty again, okay?

And how did you get back?

This morning,

I texted Aunt Jo.

- And CJ... - You can call me "Mom".

She had someone track down my phone signal

and found my whereabouts.

So she brought me back.

Now that you're back, don't disappear again, okay?

Mm.

Irene,

aren't you going to thank your mom at all?

She actually convinced me to come back.

Thank you, Mom!

Thanks, Irene.

I never saw you smile or be this happy before.

I understand everything now.

What do you understand?

I understand...

that I should be supportive so you can be happy,

and not get in the way of your happiness.

At last, you got your happy ending, Night.

We're very happy for you.

Thank you, Aoy and Chod.

Both Tul and Faye are facing the consequences of their actions.

They probably won't be able to cause us trouble anymore.

Aren't you going to sleep?

I will.

I'm just thinking about random things.

You can go ahead and sleep.

Don't you have an early start tomorrow, Ms. Executive?

Mm.

Goodnight.

That's a goodnight kiss.

Goodnight.

Aoy, Chod,

I feel like this is the moment I can finally be happy.

(JOANNE BAR)

Hello, Irene? You've arrived?

Tell me when you get here.

I'll make you a Cocktail Irene.

I just parked the car. I'm about to head inside.

Oh, but can you make me two? I brought a friend.

A friend?

Who is it?

Irene.

Hello, Mom.

Hi there.

Night, your story is an example for many other couples

that if two people truly love each other,

and hold each other's hand tightly enough,

they'll get through whatever horrible things life throws at them.

Exactly. And a strong foundation for love starts with your family.

Apart from your love for each other,

please don't forget to look after CJ and Joanne

because they're also the people who love you both the most.

Thank you both again for listening to my story.

I'm just a simple woman who's been bullied

and has faced terrible accusations her whole life.

I've realized that those words

won't have any effect on our lives

if we are strong enough

and aware that the people we love will always be by our side

to hold our hand.

Just like me, I have Aunt Jo,

CJ, and Irene.

You should accept the person you love for who they are,

and not force them to be what you wish to see.

Why are you back at work, Foon?

Don't you have to handle the funeral?

Whose funeral? What happened?

How come you don't remember anything?

My son died because of you!

Tell me what I did to Gap, Mom.

Don't you regret or feel guilty at all for having an affair

with your friend's wife?

Get out! I can't stand being with you anymore!

Maybe I cheated on Gap

and caused him to kill himself?

All right. Smack!

Hold it like this.

- What happened? - When I fell over,

I twisted my leg and couldn't keep my balance. Then he fell over,

and I fell down as well.

Two. There!

All right. One, two, three.

Give me a "like". One, two, three. Good.
