Love Next Door Episode 5 Pre-Release & Spoilers | Jung Hae-In | Jung So-Min [ ENG SUB ]

In the following episode, Seok-ryu and Seung-hyo  toast to their project's triumph with a late-night   snack in the cozy confines of Seung-hyo's  office. Seok-ryu, eager to share the moment,   extends an invitation to Mo-eum, who has yet  to experience the atmosphere of Seung-hyo’s   workspace. As they arrive, a playful mishap  occurs—Seok-ryu stumbles just as Seung-hyo   reaches to flip on the light. With a reflexive  move, Seung-hyo catches Seok-ryu in mid-fall,   and the unexpected closeness sends a jolt  through his chest. Recovering quickly,   he helps her back to her feet, both slightly  flustered by the unexpected closeness. As Mo-eum arrives, Seok-ryu is already in the  midst of preparing their late-night feast.   While they wait for Seung-hyo to return from the  restroom, Seok-ryu recounts the earlier mishap to   Mo-eum, piquing her interest in the day's events.  Proudly, Seok-ryu shows Mo-eum some pictures from   her recent wedding photo shoot, and Mo-eum can't  help but admire her friend's beauty. Seizing   the opportunity, Mo-eum gently inquires whether  Seok-ryu has moved on from her past relationship. Seok-ryu confides in Mo-eum that  she still has feelings for him,   only to quickly dismiss it as a joke. She  explains that she ended their engagement   and prefers to keep the fact that Hyeon-jun  cheated on her private. Unbeknownst to them,   Seung-hyo overhears the conversation and starts to  suspect that Seok-ryu might still harbor feelings   for her ex. Trying to mask his own discomfort,  Seung-hyo makes a lighthearted comment to Mo-eum,   playfully suggesting that Seok-ryu's intense stare  is making him nervous. The truth, however, is that   Seok-ryu's piercing gaze is her way of seeking  Seung-hyo's approval for her culinary efforts. The following day, as Seung-hyo immerses himself  in the bustling preparations for Greip’s flagship   store, Seok-ryu eagerly tracks him down with a  spark of inspiration from an old kindergarten   book. Since their recent hug, Seung-hyo has been  grappling with confusing feelings toward her. As   she approaches, he makes a concerted effort to  maintain his distance, but Seok-ryu is relentless,   shadowing his every move. Frustration mounts as  he grows exasperated with her persistence, and he   finally erupts, demanding that she stop following  him and concentrate on her own affairs. When   Seok-ryu questions whether he's upset with her, he  remains silent, which only spurs her on. Unable to   contain his irritation any longer, he snaps, "Do  you think I'm a pushover? We’re not kids anymore." Additionally, during her morning run, Mo-eum  spots Dan-ho wandering through the neighborhood   and immediately recognizes him. Curious, she  asks what he's up to, and he reveals he's on   a quest for a four-leaf clover. Intrigued,  Mo-eum decides to join him in the search.   When she triumphantly finds a clover and presents  it to him, Dan-ho's face lights up with delight,   and he instinctively takes her hand in  gratitude. The unexpected touch startles   Mo-eum, and she quickly withdraws her hand,  creating an awkward pause between them. Dan-ho,   sensing her discomfort, reassures her that  he meant nothing beyond his admiration for   the find. Later on, Mo-eum hands him the  precious four-leaf clover as a keepsake. Meanwhile, Seung-hyo, in an attempt  to distance himself from Seok-ryu,   finds himself in an unforeseen predicament.  After Dong-jin, who has learned that Na-yun   is affiliated with Seung-hyo, invites him  out for drinks, things take a turn. Dong-jin,   having had a bit too much to drink, needs  Seung-hyo’s help to get back to his room. The following morning, as Dong-jin heads out for  his morning jog, Seok-ryu mistakenly assumes he's   still asleep and goes to wake him up. Seung-hyo,  initially mistaking Seok-ryu for an intruder,   tries to stop her but quickly realizes  who she is and apologizes. Seok-ryu,   equally embarrassed, explains that she  had thought Seung-hyo was Dong-jin. The   mix-up leaves both of them flustered,  adding an unexpected twist to their day.
