The mood on the bus back to school is celebratory, and even Coach Yoon can’t help but smile at his team’s success. He tells Jae-yi to leave before he hurts Bok-ju even further. He adds that Bok-ju is just a girl, who didn’t want to show her ugliest side to the guy she likes. Joon-hyung says that Bok-ju lied to him because of her crush, and that now that lie is torturing her. He blows up, and blurts out that Jae-yi himself is the guy that Bok-ju likes.
He obviously thinks it’s no big deal, but Joon-hyung knows how much it hurt Bok-ju for Jae-yi to see her that way, red-faced and straining to lift a heavy barbell. Go, and thought he’d come cheer for Bok-ju. Jae-yi says that he heard about it from Dr. He leads Jae-yi out to the parking lot and turns on him angrily, asking how he knew to come here. He sees Jae-yi approaching the doors, and grabs him before he can come inside. Joon-hyung looks like he could cry himself, just hearing Bok-ju’s sobs, but he decides not to approach her just now. He follows Bok-ju to the training room, and though he doesn’t immediately see her, her sniffling gives her away. He notices that she looks deeply unhappy, sees that Jae-yi is here in the audience, and immediately knows that Bok-ju is ashamed that her crush saw her at what she considers her ugliest moment. Joon-hyung bursts into the auditorium just as Bok-ju finishes her lift. Growing up is painful, as Bok-ju is learning, but hopefully she’ll come out the other side even stronger. Being kind can be a cruelty, and love can be a source of pain, if you don’t listen to what the other person truly needs.
Relationships are so tricky - sometimes the thing you feel the most is the hardest thing to show to the one you care about. 258 DecemDecemWeightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-ju: Episode 10 by LollyPip
