Eun ho takes the stuffed toy from Dan i & asks her to come in quick. They have to see the movie. It is an improvisation. Dan i doesn’t know which movie. It is a ruse to spend time together & to dismiss Seo joon.
But they decide to go for a walk. They come to a restaurant where Seo joon has booked ahead. Dan-i wonders if she should have tried hard to get. But she is so overwhelmed with the idea of someone being nice to her that she is all for it. At the age of 37, she is enjoying every bit of it.
Next day they travel by bus to the office. He is a freelancer but he is all for any opportunity to spend time with her. Eun ho reaches the bus stop to confront him. But for fear of the office people finding out that she is staying with him, he proceeds ahead in his car.
The greatest fear of what others will think or say? When the times are tough who comes to help? The wagging tongues can only strike a blow but cannot lesses it! How much to hear & what to hear… depends on us…we let our guard down & let the blows in!
The reader’s letters are sorted by Dan- i so Song Hae rin gives her that job. She loves reading so it is not work for her. It is an enjoyable activity. Eun ho brings in Ms Yu’s manuscript. All are excited for it is going to be the next best seller. Eun ho is given the work of digitalisation. He is assigned Dan i to work with him. Ms Song is looking forward to it. He proposes to work at home. It will be the best opportunity to be together.
Oh Ji yool & Park hoon go clubbing where they see all three ladies dancing. Seo Young-ah who had been begging everyone to go clubbing with her. She is with Dan i & Go Yoo mi. Ms Go is in a very different mood & on leaving the club invites the two to her place. It is in chaos. They drink together & have a heart-to heart talk. Such a scene where they share their sorrows is rare.
Seo Young ah tells them about her incident in the shoes shop where she inquired about the price of shoes & found them expensive. Hand made shoes are expensive. But the shopkeeper said she is wasting his time & is an annoying lady. To which she expected her husband to take her side but he doesn’t. The next day she gets divorce papers & he signs them.
He is sitting with Mr Kim & Eun ho. He realises that it wasn’t the only incident. Maybe I was not sensitive to her. I was wrong. But I miss her. She had known that he is poor. That he is the second son & his brother is in jail. Brother’s wife & children had to be taken care of. There is a limit to every person’s patience. The shoe store was the last straw on the camel’s back.
Dan i then opens up saying she is also divorced. The two ladies did not know. Opening up is one of those things that we learn with experience. Are they going to resolve the issue? No. Yet it feels like a weight is lifted off the chest. Coming clean is one of the things that helps in a relationship. It helps bonding. The two ladies will be more considerate henceforth. Even if they may or may not help her career but will have a sympathetic ear in future.
Wailing & drowning in one’s sorrows is one thing but having a support group is another. It helps to rise from the ashes. Today forming such groups is the norm. It is the urgent need in the society to lend an ear.
