B.S dad:(nervous) Princess ,I didn't know you were coming today

Bong Soon: (sarcastic) Well I wanted this guy right here to see the supposed drug dealer I'm getting supplied by.

Soo Hyun:(embarrassed)  Hi Mr Kim

B.S dad:Hi Soo Hyun, omo  you thought she was selling drugs. 

Bong Soon: (glaring at Soo Hyun) Can you belive the nerve he has.

B.S dad :Awe come on ,maybe he just got confused by some things. This neighborhood is quite famous for drugs.

Bong Soon:(pissed) Still he should have some faith in his "friends"

Soo Hyun:(sulking)  I said I'm sorry

B.S dad: (laughing) You've got to admit it's pretty funny .Ahh princess you never cease to amaze me

Bong Soon:(annoyed)  And hey aren't you going to let us in

B.S dad:(dodgy) Ummm ...you can't come in ,it's a bit messy

Bong Soon:  (meh)What's new about that,(budging in) your house is always.....

Bong Soon is dumbfound by what she sees

B.S dad:(patting her)I'm sorry princess but thus time I'm not joking .

Bong Soon: (dumbfound) What!,you can't do that.Why now.

B.S dad: (sad)Well dear ,your mother has clearly moved on.She's even on the front page out on a date with Mr Chan.(crying)Noone also believes me,they think I'm just another cheating husband.

Bong Soon:(crying ) But I believe you

B.S dad:(wiping her tears) I know you mean well,but I need to go back home.Its for me and my sanity .

Bong Soon: (wiping his tears) What about me.

B.S dad:(hugging her) You'll still be my daughter even if I'm miles away

Bong Soon:(sad) Don't you love me enough to stay

B.S dad: I do love you  ,don't make it harder than it is.

Bong Soon: When are you  planning on leaving?

B.S dad :Sometime this week

Bong Soon: If you love me grant me this one wish

B.S dad:I can't stay here dear.I need to be somewhere I don't get to see your mother with someone else,and i also need to get back to work.Noone seems to want to hire me around here .

Bong Soon: Then just give me a month, you call me Nancy Drew right. Well if I don't clear your name in this month you can leave

B.S dad: You don't have to

Bong Soon: PLEASE ,let me.If you don't I'll follow you home too

B.S dad: You know your mother could never live without you

Bong Soon: Neither could you

B.S dad:(skeptical) A month?

Bong Soon: (desperate) Yes ,please agree.

B.S dad:Okay then ,since you're begging

Soo Hyun: I'll help her too.

B.S dad: Thanks son,just don't get into any trouble because of me

Bong Soon: I won't

Bong Soon and her dad hug and Soo Hyun just stands there feeling awkward  then Mr Kim includes him in the hug but Bong Soon is still pissed at Soo Hyun.

Bong Soon: (smiling) Now let's unpack since you're not going anywhere  ,you'll need all of this stuff.

B.S dad: Okay dear.

Soo Hyun:If you ever want to move out of this place I know a nice apartment you can use if you want.

B.S dad: Thank you but I'm just fine here

Bong Soon: (teasingly) You see my dad has alot of money but he's a cheapskate. He could be living in a nice hotel but he'd rather stay in this place

Soo Hyun: (teasingly) Well you're one to say,you are also a cheapskate.You are always broke.

B.S dad: (laughing) Like father like daughter

They all just laugh

MEANWHILE...Min Ho arrives at an apartment.

Min Ho :So this is where this bastard leaves ....Not too shabby...How does he afford this with his pay....I wonder what lies behind this  door

Without even having to knock the door is opened by the owner

MEANWHILE...they finish unpacking

Bong Soon: So tell me your side of the story

B.S dad: Well I had gotten a new patient.He needed some counseling, he seemed to have some abandonment issues. He didn't want to come to the hospital so I told him I'd go to his house instead.He gave me the address and when I arrived there ,the maid was the only person at the apartment .He was supposedly running late so she made me some tea.I don't remember much from there.I woke up the following day in bed with my assistant. I was pretty much in shock so I just ran away from there as fast as I could.By the time I arrived home your mother was already throwing all of my things out of the house,she did not even try to hear me out.Mr Chan even tried talking some sense into her but she didn't want to even look at my face.Thats how I ended up living in this dump .

Soo Hyun: Wow that's sad

Bong Soon:(teary) How come you never told me

B.S dad:(sad)I tried but the timing was never right.(teary)It also seemed like you had already taken your mother's side

Bong Soon:I would never do that ,you know I love you both .

B.S dad:I know ,but what's done is done

Soo Hyun: So you never met this mystery man.

B.S dad:Yes ,and I even tried looking for him but his name only led me to this other homeless man.My assistant vanished into thin air and as for the apartment ,they wouldn't give me the information on it they said it's confidential.

Bong Soon: I guess we have our work cut out for us.(confident) There's always a loose end we'll find it

MEANWHILE... back at the apartment Min Ho is at

Mr Hei:(surprised)  Min Ho, what brings you here

Min Ho: (smirking) I just came to visit my favourite teacher

Mr Hei: (annoyed) Well as you can see I'm going out

Min Ho: Come on ,atleast invite me in for some  tea

Mr Hei: No I have to go now.

Min Ho just goes in eitherway and makes himself comfortable .Mr Hei is pissed but controls his anger and goes to make the tea.

His phone which he had left in the same room as Min Ho starts ringing  and the caller ID says "Dad"

As Min Ho is about to take the phone to him he appears out of nowhere and takes his call to a private room. Min Ho just sits looking around at Mr Hei's peculiar apartment.

He soon returns with the tea

Mr Hei: What are you really doing here ?

Min Ho: (smiling) Well after you gave me that letter ,I thought we could be good friends.

Mr Hei :I never gave you any letter

Min Ho: (chuckles) Playing dumb I see.It's okay I would too if my plan  failed like yours.

Mr Hei:If that's all could you please leave

Min Ho: Not yet,I have some questions.

1)Why are you our teacher, you're overqualified and no one your age dreams of being a highschool teacher.

Mr Hei : Well you're wrong about that

Min Ho: 2) Why would you give me letter which makes me think that Bong soon is cheating with Soo Hyun. Obviously it would make me angry and possibly break our friendship.

Mr Hei:How many times do i have to tell you that I never gave you a letter.

Min Ho: 3)Why are you so interested in Bong Soon? Yes she's charming and any guy could fall for her  but then you're trying too hard like you have a deadline or something.

Mr Hei:You know what I don't have to answer your questions.Why should I  be interrogated by a student in my own home

Min Ho: Well I never said I wanted you to reply.All I needed was your reaction and I got that so I'll get going now.

Min Ho just gets up and  walks to the door

Min Ho: (smirking) And  hey ,maybe next time I'll drink your tea If I'm sure it's not poisoned.

He exits the apartment and Mr Hei just explodes and starts shouting and smashing things .Mr Hei calms himself down and heads out the door only to be greeted by Min Ho who was still waiting outside the door.

Min Ho:(smirk)  I guess I struck a nerve.

Mr Hei :What...

Min Ho: (cutting him off)Awe I forgot to say

have a nice day "Sir"

He just walks away feeling victorious and Mr Hei is now out for blood.
