[Present]

[Theory of Love]

I know you like me

the way I like you.

We shouldn't get too close

if you're still dating Rosie.

If you haven't found the one,

can it be me then?

She's using money to win me over,
not love.

It's different with you.

[Rosie]

Rosie's on her way up.

Where did you find it?

Well, where did you forget it?

Rosie's on her way up.

Hurry!

I asked you

where you found it

because I don't think it's mine.

See?

It's very important to me.

I'd never leave it behind.

Hello.

I'm interested in buying
the lipstick you have listed.

I need it now.

Would you mind sending it over
using a carrier?

So, where did you find this one?

Here.

If it's not yours, then a colleague

must've left it behind.

That's settled then.

I should go to work, Rosie.

Should we leave together, Milin?

Let's go.

Hold on, Milin.

I want to discuss
something with you.

It's a woman thing, Jom.

You can head off
to work if you want.

Sure.

Is something the matter?

I think...

there's another woman
in Jom's life.

I found this lipstick

in the bedroom at his condo.

In his bedroom?

I don't want to think about it.

I tried to act
as if nothing happened.

But part of me feels like

if there really is someone else,

I don't want to look like a fool.

And I...

shouldn't have treated you
like that in front of him.

I'm sorry.

It's just a lipstick.

Yet I suspected the person
I trust the most.

And even if

there really is someone else,

it would never be you.

It's okay, Rosie.

Actually,

your suspicion might
turn out to be nothing.

I hope so.

The only way to find out

whether he actually
brought someone home

is to check the footage from
the CCTV cameras.

Come on, Rosie.
Let's find out together.

You can find out the truth.

Then you can decide
if he's really worth your time.

If not, go ahead and end things.

It might hurt less
than dragging it out.

You've been through it before.

Let's go.

I just can't.

I don't want to
feel disappointed again.

If you don't have the courage,

then I'll do it myself.

No matter what it turns out to be,

please be honest with me.

You can always trust me.

Milin.

Yes, Rosie?

I've checked
the CCTV footage at the condo.

How did it go?

Nothing happened.

Jom didn't bring anyone home.

You can rest assured now.

Thank you so much.

Sure. As for the lipstick,

I'll find out why

it was at his condo.

No need to overthink anymore.

You can trust him.

It was probably nothing.

Okay.

What? Why are you
looking at me like that?

The lipstick Rosie found

belongs to you, doesn't it?

She found it here, didn't she?

Yes.

How could you be so careless?

Well, I didn't mean to.

And now she's suspicious of me.

I helped convince her, didn't I?
I told her I checked the footage

and that I didn't see you
bring anyone home.

You lied to her.

But if she watches the footage,

she'll see you with me.

Don't worry.

If she doesn't ask to watch it,

she'll never find out.

What do you mean?

I've planned it out carefully.

And I know Rosie better than you do.

Rosie won't have the guts

to watch the footage.

She'll choose to lie to herself

and continue to trust you.

She's so in love with you.

But she'll continue to suspect me

until you can explain to her

how that lipstick ended up here.

I hope you didn't
deliberately leave it behind

so she'd suspect me.

If that's what I planned to do,

then I would have come up
with something cleverer.

At the very least,

I wouldn't make it so
she suspected me as well.

Whatever.

But if you make her distrust me,

I'll tell her about us.

And we can go down together.

If we keep working together,

no one will get in trouble.

Stop suspecting me, Jom.

I'm helping you.

Weren't you the one who told me

you'd wait until the day
she's fed up with you?

And then we'd be able to go public.

By then,

she probably won't care
about the past anymore.

Trust me.

I've known her for a long time.

I know what to do.

We should keep our distance for now.

I have to go.

Hello, Rosie?

Can I come to your place tonight?

Let's order
something simple for dinner.

Maybe pizza or steak.

And I'll bring
a nice bottle of wine.

Sure. Whatever you want.

Okay. I'll see you then.

Who's calling?

It's Milin. It's probably work.

Hello? Milin?

It's nothing, really.

I'm a bit envious
knowing that you and Rosie

are having fun together.

So I called to interrupt.

I'm joking.

I wanted to call Rosie

but must've called you by mistake.

Can you pass the phone to her?

Sure.

Rosie, Milin wanted to call you

but called me by mistake.

Yes, Milin?

Have you had dinner?

If it were in the past,

we'd probably be
having dinner together.

I wanted to tell you that

the documents are ready
for you to sign.

Okay. Thank you so much.

So, how are things...

with Jom?

Well, it's okay. All good.

If there's anything
that's bothering you,

come back to me, okay?

Thanks.

All good? Okay.
I should hang up now.

Wait.

Yes?

I know a way

to make her stop suspecting you.

I should go and take a shower.

Mm-hmm.

Can you grab me a bathrobe?

Sure.

- Here.
- Thank you.

What are you doing?

I just...

Are you going through my phone?

No.

I've unlocked it.

- See for yourself.
- Jom, I just...

I don't like this at all.

What's up with you?
You were never like this.

Don't you trust me?

And that day, you said
a client canceled on you.

Then you showed up unannounced.

You were trying to catch me
in the act, weren't you?

No, that's not
what I thought at all.

If you don't trust me,

then I don't think
we can keep doing this.

And what have you done?

What have I done?

What is this?

Whose lipstick is this?

And how come it was here?

Who did you bring home?

Whose is this?

I don't know! Are you trying
to accuse me of something?

Don't raise your voice at me.

If no one was here, then where
did this come from? Whose is it?

Who did you bring home?

Didn't I tell you?
This condo is only for you.

How could you do this to me?

I said I don't know!

We can break up
if you don't trust me!

Jom, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry. I...

- That's it.
- Jom.

I don't want to talk to you anymore.
I'm upset.

You should go home.

There's no point in talking
about it now.

- We'll talk later.
- No, Jom.

Rosie?

He'll stop being angry,
eventually.

Then you can talk to him.

I tried to pretend
I already forgot about it.

I shouldn't have picked
a fight with him.

I can't break up with him.

I can't live without him.

It was my fault.

My fault.

Don't blame yourself.

It's okay.

It's going to get better.

No need to overthink it now.

Let me stay with you tonight, okay?

Jom?

You're not upset
with me anymore, are you?

I'm sorry about last night.

It's okay.

It wasn't anything serious.

And no matter
how many times you ask,

I can only tell you
that I honestly don't know.

But I hope

you're going to trust me

from now on.

Rosie,

I'm sorry

for lashing out at you last night.

Milin kept me company last night.

I'm going to check out
the event location today.

Are you coming along, Jom?

We can go in your car then.

I'll wait in the car.

I should go.

Do you see now

how well I know her?

You pretended to be angry
and started a fight last night.

Now she's scared to mention
the lipstick ever again.

Ten thousand?

What's it for?

Rosie paid me to go and check out
the event location.

You can have it.

Consider it an apology
for my clumsiness

and getting you
in trouble with Rosie.

But it's not really a big deal.

You don't have to.

I can give you more than this.

It's not just work

that I can do on Rosie's behalf.

I can do everything she does,

especially if it's about money.

She doesn't care
how I spend her money.

Let's go.

As long as we hold
each other's hands,

just the three of us,

you'll get everything you want.

Trust me.

Rosie really loves and trusts you.

Don't you feel guilty at all?

If she really loved me,

she should've treated me like
I was the only one in her life.

I mean...

there's no need
for us to feel guilty.

We've given her so much.

She has to give us
something in return as well.

All right. After we've
finished work today,

let's find somewhere quiet

to chat.

We should go, or Rosie might see us.

Yes? Hello?

Hello. I'm calling
from the housekeeping company.

I'd like to answer
the question you left with us.

Oh, I completely forgot.

So how was it?

After we finished cleaning,

we'd like to confirm that
we didn't find any lipstick.

The one found in the bedroom

definitely did not belong
to any of our employees.

Is there anything else
we can help you with?

Uh...

That's all.

Thank you.

I'm glad to be of service.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

The client's budget isn't much.

This should be okay for
the bride and groom's bedroom.

What do you think?

The most important thing
in this room should be...

the bed.

Should we test it out
for the bride and groom?

- Come on.
- Jom.

Why not?

I've locked the door.
No one's going to come in.

But it's not the time.

If not now, then when?

We haven't been spending
much time together lately.

But we're at work.

This is also part of work.

We're testing the bed
on the bride and groom's behalf

so we can be sure

they got the best bed.

Jom.

Jom, no.

Jom.

Don't, Jom.

Jom.

Jom, no.

Hold on, Rosie.

Milin is... busy right now.

The CCTV system's due for a reset.

And the data has to
be deleted today?

That's right.

But we did send out
a notification letter in advance.

And Milin should've been
informed as well.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

What about the CCTV footage
she requested?

Is there a backup?

She never made such a request.

- She never did?
- That's right.

Thank you.

You're welcome.
I should get back to work now.

Yes, Rosie?

I'm sorry.

I left my phone in Jom's car.

Milin,

come and see me
after you're finished.

I need to have a word with you.

Okay.

Have a seat.

What would you like
to discuss with me?

Is there anything
you'd like to tell me?

How many years
have you been with me?

Ten years.

I've asked to work with you
when I was still in university.

Ten years is quite a long time.

Thanks so much for sticking with me.

You're practically everything to me.

And I can give you anything.

I love you.

I know.

I love you so much as well.

Why did you lie to me about Jom?

Why did you lie to me
about the CCTV footage?

You didn't ask to see it.

Why did you do that?

Because...

you were scared I might see him
bringing a woman home, weren't you?

That's right.

I'm sorry.

But I didn't want
to see you being sad.

Even though we didn't watch
the footage,

you know what happened

and why there was lipstick
at his place.

You knew all along, didn't you?

But you didn't want
to have your heart broken,

so you tried to deny the truth.

If that's what you've chosen,

it means you're giving Jom a chance.

So how can I get in the way of you
being happy with the one you love?

You know exactly how I feel.

Is there anyone else

as good as you in my life?

Then can I ask you to
trust me on one thing?

Milin?

Let me stay by your side tonight.

I want to be sure

you're feeling better.

Don't feel guilty toward anyone.

You've done so much
for other people.

You can follow your heart tonight.

Let me...

help you relax from all the sadness.

When we wake up tomorrow,

it will be like nothing happened.

The secret can stay

between the two of us.

[Jom]

[Jom]

[Jom]

Hello? Rosie?

You didn't answer
my calls last night.

Oh.

I was with Milin all night.

I had too much to drink.

I thought something happened.

I was worried about you.

Nothing's wrong.

All right.

Should we

go out for dinner tonight?

I'll invite Milin too.

Sure.

See you then.

See you.

It might seem stupid of me

to choose to feign ignorance

and stay in a relationship
with Jom.

It might look like I'm blindly
letting him have his way.

But I believe

he'll come to his senses eventually

after I've given him a lot.

And he'll repay me with sincerity.

I told you.

I respect your decision.

As long as I get to see you happy.

Thank you for understanding me.

I'm going to take a shower.

Okay.

It's for you.

Your phone's very old,
so I bought you a new one.

Thank you!

Since Jom's got a new one,

I've got one for you too, Milin.

Thank you, Rosie.

I hope you both like it.

I'm so lucky

to have both of you in my life.

At the time, I thought

that if loving is giving,

I should be able to forgive
what's happened

and be ready to trust that
in the future

everything will get better

because of my dedication
to the people I love.

But while I was enjoying
lying to myself,

I couldn't run away from the truth.

Hello?

You have the CCTV footage
I requested?

Okay. Feel free to send it through.

You know exactly how I feel.

Is there anyone else

as good as you in my life?

Don't feel guilty toward anyone.

You've done so much
for other people.

You can follow your heart tonight.

I'm so lucky

to have both of you in my life.

It's not true.

No, it's not true!

It's not true!

It's not true!

Do you think it's level?

I think so.

Okay.

It looks like
something's sticking out.

- Hang on.
- Your finger?

No.

- My hair?
- Of course.

This side too.
It's sticking out quite a lot.

- You're intentionally lying.
- Really?

Anyway, I should go
and grab the stuff.

This is such a nice color.

Should I pull it out?

Maybe push it a little further in.

- Here?
- Yes.

Excuse me? What did you
find at Jom's place?

I'm busy right now.
I'm afraid I can't go just yet.

You can tell the housekeeper to go.

Tell them to put what they found
back to where it was.

I'll hurry over right away
once I'm done with work.

Come here.

What's going on?

The housekeeping company
found something at my place.

They called Rosie just now.

Should we go and have a look?

Are you crazy? We can't leave work.

We can say we have to go out
and buy something.

The event's still a while away.

We should hurry.

Come on!

What are you looking for?

Whatever made the housekeeping
company call Rosie.

What do you think it is?

How should I know?

Jom.

There's a lipstick stain on this
wine glass. Whose is it?

Rosie's?

I don't think so.

There wasn't a stain before I left.

Don't tell me there's someone else.

No, there isn't.

Even if there was, they wouldn't be
able to come up here.

The only person who can
come and go is you.

Did you do this?

Did you leave this on purpose
so Rosie would suspect me?

Are you crazy?

Why would I do that?

Because you want me
to break up with her.

You're jealous, aren't you?

You're going insane.

Save it.

I don't like you
playing games with me.

I'll tell Rosie
about all your plans.

So she'll realize
she's been betrayed

by the person she trusts the most.

And that person is you.

Calm down, Jom.

I didn't do any of this.

And if you tell her about us,

don't forget we're going
to go down together.

All right then.

Let's see who she's
going to keep around.

Do you think she loves you
more than she loves me?

But I love you, Jom.

Milin.

Jom, I really don't know
about any of this.

And I can't let you
tell Rosie about us.

I don't want to lose her either.

Can you give me some time?

Wait until things fall into place.

And we can be together
without anyone getting hurt.

I can't stand hurting someone as
kind as Rosie anymore.

You have to trust me, Jom.

Jom.

I know you're feeling uncomfortable.

We can take it slow
and figure out a solution.

Let's not make things worse.

I'm worried about you.

I really love you.

Don't let begging

make you seem vulnerable.

Losing something
that's easily earned

might not be too much of a regret.

You're suspecting

that the woman Jom's secretly seeing

is me, aren't you?

A hundred thousand?
Why are you giving it to me?

Consider it as me hiring you
to break up with Rosie.

But if you don't do as I say,

I'll make sure
you won't get anything.

I'll bring you evidence

of his infidelity.

So you can finally move on from him.

What did Milin say to you?

So who do you trust more?

Me or her?

No matter what it turns out to be,

please be honest with me.

You can always trust me.

Cut.

That was intense.

Come here.

The housekeeping company
found something at my place.

They called Rosie just now.

Should we go and have a look?

We can't leave work.

Tell her we have
to go buy something.

Something.

Anything.

Buy something.

Buy something?

Tell her we have
to go buy something.
