[Theory of Love]

Rosie?

How did you get here?

Wait inside with the baby.

How did you get here?

You have a baby?

How long have you been lying to me?

I've given you everything.

I trusted you.

How could you do this to me?

Why did you do this to me?

How could you?

- I'm sorry, Rosie!
- How could you?

I'm sorry!

- Let go of me!
- No!

Let go!

Rosie!

Aoy, Chod,

I've always believed

that loving is giving.

That's why I'm willing to give
everything to the person I love

and hope

that what I'll get in return

is also love.

[The Gift of Love]

I love the atmosphere at weddings.

It's full of love and happiness.

So I've had a wedding planning
business for more than a decade.

And of course, I have a dream

of planning one of my own someday.

But now that it's come to this,

I have to accept the truth.

The dream I envisioned

will never come to life.

Just move on
from a scumbag like him, Rosie.

At least the marriage
hasn't been registered,

and you haven't wasted money
on a wedding yet.

You've given him so much.

But in the end, he's just a leech.

Leave him alone, Milin.

It's my fault

for being such a workaholic
that he started another family.

You're being sarcastic, aren't you?

He did a number on you.

I hope you're not blaming yourself.

The only thing you did wrong

was investing in the wrong person.

He doesn't deserve your generosity.

Give yourself some time to rest.

I'll hold down the fort for you.

At least

rest until the wound's healed.

Then you'll be able to start over.

I'm still looking forward
to planning

a beautiful wedding for you.

I'm turning 50 in a few years.

I won't get my hopes up.

I might have to grow old
and die alone.

I told you.

You still have me

no matter what.

Thanks so much, Milin.

Thanks for worrying about me.

I'll feel better eventually.

Okay.

I should go
and check on things outside.

Huh? Rosie?

Wait inside with the baby.

Hey!

Are you okay?

- I'm sorry!
- Are you blind?

I'm sorry!

Do you know it's very dangerous?

What if I got seriously hurt?

Ugh.

Whoa.

Look at my customer's food.

I can't deliver this to them now.

Even though it was an accident,

I'll get into trouble anyway

if they complain to the company.

What should I do now?

Here. I'll help you.

Forget it!

Just focus on paying attention
when you drive.

Huh?

Why isn't it starting?

What?

- Let's do it this way.
- Darn it.

I'll pay for all the damages.

In any case,

I should call the insurance company.

- Just my luck!
- It's about to rain too!

Get in the car and out of the rain.

Don't you have
to call your customer?

You should clean your wound.

I don't want it to get infected.

Actually, you can just
take a shower.

You got wet from the rain.
You might catch a cold.

The bathroom's this way.

Make yourself at home.

Thank you.

Oh.

I brought you a towel
and a first-aid kit.

I'll put them over there.

Oh, and I have some spare clothes
from events.

Take what you want.

Whatever is to your liking.

Okay.

Thank you.

But it was an accident.

I'm being suspended
over a complaint?

Come on.

I...

Oh?

What happened?

Well, just as you heard.

Oh.

Did they really have to suspend you
over such a thing?

Should I call them and explain
it wasn't your fault?

It's no use.

Luck hasn't been on my side much.

I've been getting lots of
complaints from customers.

Then I got into trouble again today.

I figured this would happen.

I should go.

Thank you for lending me a shirt.

Uh...

Wait.

This is for the damages.
I said I'd pay for you.

Just accept it.

I feel so guilty.

I want to apologize, okay?

It's only 10,000.

Okay?

Thank you.

And uh...

Can I have your number?

I just want to stay updated
and make sure everything is okay.

If you get home and need to go
to the hospital, just let me know.

I'll pay for everything.

So, your number?

Sure.

Thank you.

Oh, and I've called you a cab.

No need to pay. I already did.

They should be here soon.

Thank you.

- Uh-huh.
- Uh...

Miss...

Rosie.

You can just call me Rosie.

Is that okay?

Of course.

Rosie.

And... you are?

Oh, I'm Jom.

Jom.

Uh...

My parents could only come up
with a tacky name.

Not at all.

It's very cool.

Jom.

Thank you.

Why did you do this to me?

Why did you?

Why did you?

[Rosie]

Hello?

- Hi, Rosie.
- Hi.

You brought me my motorbike?

Yes, I wanted to make sure
it arrived safely.

And I wanted to see
if there were any problems.

Sure. I'll have a look.

Uh-huh.

Call me if there's an issue later.

I will.

Thank you very much.

How are you?

- Uh...
- Well,

I caused you to lose your job.

So I wanted to know what
you're up to and how you're doing.

I'm not doing anything right now.

I'm waiting for my new job to call.

What did you do previously?

I used to work at a hotel.

But I was let go during COVID.

You worked at a hotel?

What kind of job?

I was a server at a restaurant.

And I help look after clients,

like when there's an event or
something.

Would you be interested

if I had a job for you?

What kind of job?

Hello, Rosie.

That job you told me about.

I've decided.

Hello?

I've arrived.

Oh, okay. Sure.

Are you Jom?

That's right.

Hi.

Take your bike to the parking lot.
I'll meet you inside.

Then get changed,
and I'll give you a briefing

on what you'll be doing today.

Sure.

Is something the matter?

Oh, no.

Close to the letter L.

A little bit more.

That's it. Add a little more green.

It will help add depth.

- Okay. Well done.
- Rosie.

Hi.

I've given him a briefing.

You've worked in hospitality before.

I don't think today is
going to be too difficult.

Milin knows everything I know.

Ask her if there's anything
you don't understand.

I will.

- Asa.
- Yes?

Jom's here to help you haul stuff.

Sure, Milin.

Look after him.

I cost him his job, so I want to
give him an opportunity.

Besides, his previous job is
similar to what we do.

I see.

I noticed he understands things
pretty quickly too.

He seems hardworking as well.

Milin,

where should I put the picture of
the bride and groom out front?

- I'll come and have a look.
- Okay.

I have to go.

Sure.

Let's go.

I said you can't go inside!

- Get security!
- Okay!

You're such a busybody, Milin.

It was you, wasn't it?

You told Rosie about me.

- You can't go in!
- Stop!

Stop!

How did you get in here?

Who told you to come?

And how did you know I was here?

It...

It wasn't a big deal or anything.

Why wouldn't I be
able to sniff around?

And...

why won't you answer my calls?

I just want to explain
about what happened.

I didn't mean it.

I didn't mean for things
to turn out this way.

I lost my job.

I have nothing left.

My baby's still young as well.

Can you please help me?

Don't touch me!

Help me.

Rosie, don't listen to him.

Get out.

- Let's find somewhere to talk.
- Let go of me.

Get out. You're nothing to me!

Get out!

How could you say that to me?

Rosie, don't forget

I helped you build this company.

So I should get something from it.

Disgusting.

How could you say that?

Rosie's been working herself
almost to death.

You're just a parasite.

Busybody.

Don't listen to anyone else.
Come with me.

Let go! I said let go!

Let me go!

Hey, that's enough!

Jom!

- How is this any of your business?
- Don't hurt him!

Stop right now!

Stop!

Stop this madness!

Stop!

I said stop!

- Let go!
- Ugh!

Let go of me!

Are you okay?

Security, get him out of here!

Get him out!

Hey, let go of me!

Let go!

Let go!

Let go of me now!

You're going to regret this!

Let go!

Darn it!

Jom?

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

I'm all right. What about you?

Are you sure you're okay?

I won't let him get close
to you like that again.

And you have to watch
your back as well.

I got home. Don't worry.

Poom can't get in. I've told
the community security guard.

Thanks so much.

You should get some rest.

Jom?

This fell off during the fight
with that guy.

I was going to give it back to you,
but I forgot.

So I...

came by.

Thanks.

I was looking for it for ages.

Thanks for helping me today as well.

How horrible.

You always get hurt because of me.

It's okay.

It was nothing.

You must be tired.

I should leave you alone.

Hold on.

Keep me company?

Are you in a rush to be somewhere?

Or...

do you have to go back to someone?

There's no one.

Come inside.

He had a baby with someone else.

And I had no clue.

Wasn't I stupid?

I don't think so.

I've been planning
weddings for decades.

But I never got to be the bride.

How embarrassing.

Mm.

I'm going to get some more wine.

Rosie, are you okay?

I treated him so well.

I gave him everything.

What did I do wrong?

Did I make a mistake?

I think you should let him go.

You know his true colors now.

Thanks so much for today.

You helped me a lot.

And now you're keeping me company.

I'm not used to being alone.

No.

I have to.

I have to get used to it
because from now on, I'll be alone.

But I think

you can still start over
with someone else.

How old do you think I am?

I'm turning 50 in a few years.
No one's going to want me.

That's not true.

I'm sorry. I had too much to drink.

You should go home. It's late.

I didn't expect things
to turn out this way.

Thanks for staying with me
for the whole night.

Sure.

Hm.

I'm not really going anywhere today.

I only have an online meeting.

You can stay.

Uh...

I think I should go.

I don't want to disturb you
while you work.

All right.

Uh...

Our clothes are downstairs,
aren't they?

I guess

we might have to go downstairs
to get them together.

For the clothes?

Uh-huh.

Don't leave just yet.

Aren't you hungry?

Do you want some breakfast?

I don't usually eat breakfast.

I usually just wait for lunch.

I don't have that much money.

But you enjoy eating late.

Like last night, right?

I did enjoy it.

But I really should go home

so you can focus on your work.

- Okay?
- All right.

I changed my mind.

I'm not letting you go.

All right. I'm going now.

This is for the gas.

Just take it.

Thank you.

Uh-huh.

I should go then.

Electricity.

Water.

Motorbike.

Ugh.

What's this?

Whatever.

Hello, Rosie.

Hello, Jom.

You're still not working, are you?

Are you available?

I am.

All right. Can you go
shopping with me tomorrow?

Sure. Why not?

Well then.

Can I ride with you
on your motorbike?

I haven't done that in a while.

Aha, sure.

But you have to be careful
and hold onto me tight, okay?

Spare parts for someone
of your generation are rare.

What did you just say to me?

Watch your mouth.

See you tomorrow then.

Rosie,

thank you so much

for buying me all these things.

It was nothing.

It's fun dressing you up.

- Really?
- Of course.

You're so handsome.

Thank you.

Let's go.

- Wait.
- Hm?

Aren't you embarrassed? People might
think we're mother and son.

Aren't you overthinking things?

I don't think we look like that.

Are you sure about that?

How so?

Well, you're so pretty.

What should we eat?

No idea. Can you think of something?

Thai, Japanese...

- So many.
- Maybe Japanese?

Japanese?

Sure.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Oh, Jom?

Were you doing some shopping?

- That's right.
- Oh.

Well then, we'll leave you to it.

See you later.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Come on.

I'm sorry for letting go
of your hand just now.

It's okay. I understand you have to
care about what other people think.

That's right. I do.

But I don't care what they think
about me.

I care...

about what people will think of you.

I'm almost 50.

Aren't you embarrassed?

I haven't thought that far ahead.

I think we should just let people
think whatever they want.

Maybe I shouldn't
get involved with you.

You're still young and have
your future ahead of you.

And we might not even be compatible.

I think

you should stop thinking so much.

Are you that serious about me?

If you're not worried about that,

then you shouldn't overthink it.

Maybe we don't have to

tell anyone about us.

So you relax

and won't feel uncomfortable
when we go out together.

I think I know a way.

Here. This is what it's like.

Hm.

I think it's good.

Anyway, handle the party for me.

I will.

Wait, Rosie.

You seem happy lately.

Is there anything
you want to tell me?

Nothing.

We're talking about a party.
Of course, I'm happy.

I thought you might've
found someone new.

You're lively again.

There's no one.

Would you like some wine?
I'll go get some for you.

If you can't find someone
who's decent,

then you don't have to.

Milin!

What are you doing?

This is what I am doing.

Do you believe me now?

Poom has another woman in his life.

It...

It might not be what you think.

It's already come to this.

And you're still
refusing to believe me?

He lied to you.

He said he had a meeting
with a client on Valentine's Day.

But guess what?

He was having dinner with a woman
and holding her hand.

She might've been his client.

As for holding hands,

it might have been the angle.

He...

He...

You'll be okay without him.

You still have me.

What are you doing?

I don't think I'm wrong about you.

We have so many things in common.

If you can't find a decent guy,

then you don't need one.

All right!

Something floating...

Is it?

Right.

That's a car.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday! Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to you!

Whoo!

Happy birthday, Milin.

I wish you happiness.

Thank you, Rosie.

Thank you for always
being so generous with me.

For someone who was
born a giver like you,

I wish you true happiness
in your life.

The same way you bring happiness to
those around you.

Thanks, Milin.

Make a wish.

Whoo!

Congratulations!

I hope you're happy!

Whoo!

Thank you.

All right.

Let's get started.

Jom.

Uh...

You might not have met him before.

He's about to start working
at our company.

So I invited him.

Anyway, please make him
feel welcome.

- He's good-looking!
- Hello!

Hi, there.

In any case, look after him, Milin.

Sure, Rosie.

Jom, come on. Want a drink?

Sure.

All right!

Let's drink! This one!

Rosie!

- Yes?
- Let's make a toast!

Whoo!

Cheers!

I'll train Jom at work by myself!

I love it!

Watch your step.

Sorry.

I had too much to drink.

Do you remember
the first time we met?

I stared at you until you asked me
what was the matter.

I'll tell you.

The thing is...

you look like my ex.

But...

you're prettier.

What on earth are you doing?

I'm kissing you.

Confusion or selfishness?

Getting involved with someone
when your heart belongs to another.

If there's no one in your life,

can it be me then?

I know you have feelings for me

the same way I do for you.

I don't think we should
keep our distance

if you're still with Rosie.

She buys me with money, not love.

Unlike you.

Hello, Rosie?

What's wrong?

She's on her way here.

Okay.

Be careful.

Dust it off.

All right. Action!

- Busybody!
- Jom!

Stop!

Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

He's tough.

- He picks it up, and I embrace him.
- Yes.

Okay.

Don't rush.

I can't stop smiling. What do I do?

- I...
- I should pass him his underwear.

I can't stop smiling!
