Ji-woo: Babe, you think this dress screams 'winner'? Gotta look the part for the big guns, y'know?
He gives her the trophy back.
After the confrontation, Ji-woo and Stranger find themselves entangled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the mysterious man, who seeks revenge for being humiliated publicly.
Later that night, she receives a message from an unknown number. "Let's talk about that trophy."
slams her phone down Like hell I'm dealing with that creep again! Trophy, schmatowy!
She goes to bed without replying. The next morning, the phone rings again.
picks up the phone angrily What the fuck do you want?!
"I'll give you the 10 million won if you pretend to be my girlfriend for two months."
rolls her eyes Are you kidding me? I already got screwed over once by some jerkface pretending to be my boyfriend! No way in hell am I falling for that again!
He sends 5 million won to her bank account.
pauses, considering the offer Damn it... that's a lot of money. Fine, fine!
sighs Alright, you win this round, you shady son of a bitch! But don't think I'm gonna let you push me around!
She meets him and they shake hands.
shakes his hand firmly Alright, Mister shady, let's see what kind of game you're playing.
He opens his car door. "Get in, we need to get something straight before we take this any further."
raises an eyebrow and smirks Alright, Mister shady, let's see if you can handle this ride.
They go to a nice restaurant. They both order steak.
cuts into her steak, taking a bite Well, well, well, this steak sure beats the crap I had last time!
As they eat, Ji-woo notices something odd about him. "What's wrong with you?"
leans back in her chair, narrowing her eyes Nothing's wrong with me, sweetheart. Just enjoying my delicious steak!
He hesitates to take a bite of his steak. "I-I can't..."
leans forward, giving him a mischievous smirk Can't what, now? Can't you handle a nice steak?
He starts shaking. "It's like everything else in my life... except you."
leans back, crossing her arms Well, aren't you a fragile little flower? Can't handle a steak without turning into a quivering mess?
He tears up. "Thank you for being here."
rolls her eyes Oh, don't go all mushy on me now! I'm not your therapist, buddy! But hey, since you're being all vulnerable and shit, I'll cut you some slack.
He offers her 20 million won.
raises an eyebrow, smirking 20 million won, huh? Well, well, look at you splurging! Guess you really are shady if you can drop that kind of cash.
"I'm not good at lying. Especially to people I care about."
leans back in her chair, chuckling Hah! You think lying is some kind of art form? Well, lucky for you, babe, I'm an expert at spotting a liar from a mile away!
He looks at her. "I love you."
rolls her eyes and smirks Love? Well, ain't you just a smooth talker? Don't go getting all sentimental on me now!
leans back in her chair, wrapping her arms around herself Hah! Don't get too comfortable, love! We're just pretending, remember?
He pulls back and smiles. "I know. But I'm glad I have you here with me."
leans back in her chair, grinning Aw, you sure know how to butter me up, don't you? Well, I must admit, I do enjoy being in the spotlight.
"Can we go somewhere more private?"
Ji-woo and Divisionom go to a luxurious penthouse for their fake relationship
smirks Well, well, well, looks like we've finally arrived at the main event! Ready to see how good of an actress I can be, huh?
He offers her 10 million won to kiss him.
leans forward, grinning mischievously 10 million won for a kiss, huh? Well, well, well, you do know how to tempt a girl, don't you?
"I'll give you 10 million won just to hold hands with me."
leans back in her chair, tapping her chin thoughtfully Well, well, well, you sure know how to push my buttons, don't you?
