[English]

do you...

...still like me?

I treat you well because I like you

If your feelings are temporary, don't be nice to her!

my feelings are not temporary!

then tell Young Woo, that your feelings are not temporary!

yeah, i like you

i like you!

I want a lawyer like you to be on my side

dating the poor girl you helped, that's not love

Lee Jun Ho you're not a whale...

but you keep popping up in my mind like a whale

it will be hard...

...to love me

right

it seems so

but you will still do it?

yes

You won't tell our parents right?

what?

about you dating Young Woo

you should bring home the girl who will make you happy

not someone you should take care of

why talk like that?

Jun Ho-ssi, it seems difficult for you and me to date

even if other people say no

if I say it's love

then it means love

I'm waiting for you because I want to see you

are you kidding?!

you just left after saying we shouldn't be dating?

am i...

...that easy for you?

what do you think i am?

I am sorry

Jun Ho is a good person

he's someone who can make me happy

and can take care of me like a father

the problem...

...is me

am I...

...someone who can make Jun Ho happy?

will i make him lonely?
