My Dearest Nemesis episode 3 aired on the 24th, brought unexpected tension between Ban Joo-yeon (Choi Hyun-wook) and Baek Soo-jung (Moon Ga-young). The episode showed Baek Soo-jung visiting Ban Joo-yeon’s house, leading to an encounter that revealed a hidden truth.
Baek Soo-Jung expressed her thoughts on passion, saying, “It’s precious to like something deeply. It’s not easy to find something you truly enjoy, and even harder to hold onto it for a long time.” Her words carried sincerity, making Ban Joo-yeon wary of her intentions.
She also mentioned, “I don’t see anything wrong with the former chief having a hobby, even as a successor.” Ban Joo-yeon dismissed her words, replying, “The chairman chooses the successor, not you.”
The conversation quickly turned tense. Baek Soo-Jung cut him off, saying, “Everyone knows that. People just talk. Enough.” In response, Ban Joo-yeon admitted, “I like you enough now. But let’s like you a little more. In front of you.”
Hidden Tension and Unspoken Truths
Though known for their usual bickering, both Baek Soo-jung and Ban Joo-yeon were seen complimenting each other to others. This unexpected shift in behavior hinted at a deeper connection.
Later, when Baek Soo-Jung worked overtime due to an external business trip, Ban Joo-yeon commented, “If I work overtime because of a sudden schedule, what will happen to my reputation? Don’t work late unnecessarily and go.”
Before leaving, Ban Joo-yeon added, “Since I’m late, I won’t get my hair done today. Just take your clothes. I don’t need them, but they were pretty. Dresses. One-piece dresses, I mean.” This left Baek Soo-jung amused, as she muttered, “That’s funny, really.”
A Secret Nearly Exposed
The atmosphere changed when Ban Joo-yeon saw Baek Soo-jung and Kwon In-kyung (Kim Young-ah) picking up a capsule toy. This made Ban Joo-yeon uneasy. She rushed home to check if her belongings were safe, remembering a time when she was scolded as a child.
Shortly after, she changed her stance and told Baek Soo-jung, “Return those clothes. Now that I think about it, I’m not a philanthropist. I have no reason to do charity work.”
Baek Soo-Jung fired back, saying, “You gave me something I never asked for, and now you’re calling it charity? Did I beg for clothes? Why are you being so selfish?”
Ban Joo-yeon, clearly frustrated, snapped, “Then just give them back. You said you had debts, but you didn’t sell them for money? That would’ve been real charity.”
Baek Soo-Jung responded sharply, “I’m the one doing charity. I’m ignoring the secret you’re trying to hide. The world should know, right? I’ll return the clothes on Monday.”
A Secret Room and Rising Suspicion
Baek Soo-jung later went to Ban Joo-yeon’s house for a business-related visit, filling in for Baek Won-seop (Go Chang-seok). While there, she noticed something unusual about the house. She soon realized that the repair request came from Ban Joo-yeon himself.
Ban Joo-yeon, who had been waiting in the car, panicked. He rushed back, fearing that Baek Soo-Jung might see something she wasn’t supposed to. At the same time, Baek Soo-Jung stepped inside and opened a door, leading to an intense moment.
The episode ended on a tense note, leaving viewers curious about what Ban Joo-yeon was hiding and how Baek Soo-jung would react.
