Lee Jong-suk's character, Ahn Joo-hyung, takes a bold step towards Moon Ga-young's character, Kang Hee-ji, in the latest episode of tvN's 'Seocho-dong'.
In the episode that aired on the 19th at 9:20 PM, Ahn Joo-hyung is seen inviting Kang Hee-ji to a meal. During the episode, Kang Hee-ji mentions Park Soo-jung, played by Lee Yoo-young, to Ahn Joo-hyung. Kang Hee-ji admits, "I sent Park Soo-jung away. After what happened yesterday, I saw her in front of the building and told her you had already left."
Kang Hee-ji continues, "I crossed a line. I should have told you right away, I'm sorry." Ahn Joo-hyung asks, "Why did you do that?" to which Kang Hee-ji, flustered, replies, "I guess I didn't want you to get hurt."
Kang Hee-ji explains, "I thought it wouldn't be good for you to meet her in that state. It might have hurt you, and even though it's all in the past, it might not be for you." Ahn Joo-hyung reassures her, "It is in the past. You were right."
Ahn Joo-hyung reflects, "It was foolish to take on that burden. It wasn't easy, but I'm really okay now, so there's no need to apologize."
Previously, Ahn Joo-hyung confronted Park Soo-jung, asking, "Why did you want to meet? The trial is over." Park Soo-jung replied, "I just wanted to see you after a long time and felt like we hadn't talked." She asked, "How have you been?"
Ahn Joo-hyung responded, "As you can see, I've been well." However, Park Soo-jung admitted, "I haven't been well." Ahn Joo-hyung apologized for the trial, saying, "I'm sorry about the trial. It was the best I could do, and I thought it was best to end it quickly." Park Soo-jung agreed, "Ending it quickly was right for me, but I feel pathetic for hurting you." Ahn Joo-hyung clarified, "I never thought that way. I just hoped we wouldn't meet again."
Park Soo-jung expressed regret, "If we met differently, you wouldn't have talked to me." Ahn Joo-hyung concluded, "Take care. I came to say goodbye. Let's not meet again."
Afterward, Ahn Joo-hyung approaches Kang Hee-ji, expressing his interest by saying, "Let's have a meal together." Kang Hee-ji is taken aback, and Ahn Joo-hyung reminds her, "Didn't you say you'd buy me a meal?"
