Tensions Rise as Matthew Lee Shows Concern for Dam Yejin in 'Today We Sold Out'

During a corn harvest, Matthew Lee (played by Ahn Hyo-seop) reveals his deep concern for Dam Yejin (played by Chae Won-bin) after she suddenly collapses, creating a complex dynamic between the two.

In the fourth episode of SBS's 'Today We Sold Out' (directed by Ahn Jong-yeon, written by Jin Seung-hee), which aired at 9 PM on the 30th, viewers witnessed Dam Yejin fainting while picking corn and Matthew Lee's subsequent worry for her.

In the episode, Matthew Lee approaches the exhausted Dam Yejin, offering her water and medicine, and encourages her to get up. Although Dam Yejin expresses gratitude after taking the medicine, she soon lies back down, complaining of extreme fatigue.

Observing Dam Yejin's disregard for her own health, Matthew Lee questions her excessive efforts and expresses his concern with a hint of reprimand. Dam Yejin, puzzled by his remarks, questions when she ever neglected her health. Matthew Lee points out her failure to properly treat past injuries, revealing his detailed attention to her well-being. In response, Dam Yejin jokingly suggests that Matthew Lee should consider who is responsible for her overexertion.

As tensions rise, Matthew Lee advises Dam Yejin to stop her futile efforts, stating that nothing will change in her current situation. Dam Yejin, arguing that harsh words can also be a form of assault, declares in a weakened voice that she will take a break on the sofa. As she attempts to crawl to the sofa, Matthew Lee blocks her path, citing concerns about wrinkling the expensive rug, prompting Dam Yejin to roll on the floor, further irritating him.

Ultimately, Matthew Lee lifts Dam Yejin and carries her to the bed, inadvertently creating a 'princess carry' moment. As they lock eyes, a whirlwind of emotions stirs between them, but the romantic tension is quickly reversed when a flustered Matthew Lee roughly places Dam Yejin on the bed. Her subsequent complaints of a headache and raised voice towards Matthew Lee provide viewers with laughter and heighten anticipation for the evolution of their relationship.
