The date takes them through the standard activities (lunch, a movie, street shopping, etc.), and despite Ha-ni’s subdued mood, she enjoys herself.Īt one point, she smiles up at Joon-gu happily, thanking him earnestly: “You’re a really good person. And while Ha-ni feels no romantic spark, she has been seeing Joon-gu through new eyes lately - at least she’s not taking his devotion for granted anymore! - and agrees to go out with him. Joon-gu hems and haws as he nervously tries to ask her out on a date.

In light of her heartbreak, Ha-ni seems to appreciate his unflagging devotion even more than usual and thanks him, saying, “Hearing you talk like that makes me feel like a valuable person.” Joon-gu calls Ha-ni over to try a new dish he’s concocted, since he always wants her to be the first to try his creations. I know, it woulda killed you to just say a simple “Hi,” right? Of course, he can’t ever do a nice thing without undercutting it (that boy has spikes of steel guarding his heart, or maybe it’s his pride) so the text tells Ha-ni that he’s deducting her pay for her absence. He-ra sends a girlfriend-y text, and tellingly, Seung-jo picks up the phone to send a text of his own - to Ha-ni. The next day at school (where she has gone instead of working at the office), her mood is glum as she tries to come to grips with this. Seung-jo answers with a casual “Sure” - isn’t that what a seon is for?Ĭrushed, Ha-ni takes Seung-jo’s words to heart. When he gets home, he’s a little defensive as Ha-ni hesitantly asks about the date, and whether he’s going to marry He-ra. Am I gonna have to call you Gigolo Seung-jo now? He-ra doesn’t intend to force things with Seung-jo, but suggests that they give dating a try: “Let’s just take the opportunity with each other.” To her surprise (and glee), he agrees. Shouldn’t she hate that that was his reason? Seung-jo explains that he was relieved that it was her, but he only went on the date because he needs her grandfather in order to launch the company’s next game. She supposes he doesn’t like the idea of being pimped out to save his father’s company (since President Yoon is a crucial investor). (A seon is more than a blind date it’s a formal step toward finding a potential spouse, often arranged by parents or elders.) Despite her light mood, He-ra observes Seung-jo’s reaction closely as she explains that she had been opposed to date initially, until she found out it was him.

He-ra’s grandfather, President Yoon, arranges the seon between He-ra and Seung-jo, to his satisfaction. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Something that gives me assurance that I’m not wasting my time hoping that these two kiddos can work it without necessitating a complete destruction of Ha-ni’s dignity. I’m not even so greedy as to hope for a 50-50 balance - I’m talking one teeny, tiny, friggin’ step toward Ha-ni, Mr. I’m not saying Ha-ni has to become a different person or that Seung-jo needs to turn into a considerate human being overnight for me to be satisfied - I just needed some balance to this relationship. 304 OctoJanuPlayful Kiss: Episode 13 by javabeansįINALLY!
