The following program is suitable

for general audiences.

This drama is based on a true story.

The plot was adjusted
for entertainment purposes only.

We have no intention
to offend any careers,

encourage immoral sexual values,

or create a pessimistic disposition
of a gender or a group of people.

We would like to apologize in
advance for any misunderstandings.

(present)

Break up with him.

He's not serious about you.

Don't decide things for me.

I'll decide whether or not
he's serious about me.

You don't believe me, do you?

I'll prove it to you then.

What kind of person

does something wrong

without feeling any guilt?

You remember this place?

I've never forgotten.

(Zolo Dance)

It's been years,

but your room hasn't changed.

It's the only thing
I don't plan on changing.

Why not?

This place

has a lot of memories.

What memories?

Am I in them?

Yes.

Why don't we relive

those memories?

Do you have an appointment with Zo?

Would I be standing here

if I came to meet Zo?

I came to see you.

Why do you want to see me?

No reason in particular.

I just want to ask you
out for dinner

and get to know you better.

Just tell her

that you are hitting on her.

Wait.

Do you know each other?

Yes.

We know each other well.

Actually,

we don't know each other that well.

We were friends for a while.

If I hadn't run into her
at Art Space the other day,

I wouldn't even remember her.

What a coincidence.

You guys crossed paths again.

Since you are taking Nan out,

can I come?

I'd rather go alone with Nan.

Let Joy come.

You want to know me better.

I also want to know more
about you and Joy.

(Five Years Ago)

Dang, how was that possible?

Hey, where's your girlfriend?

You are graduating soon.
Has she even congratulated you?

My girlfriend? Which one?

He's got many girlfriends.

That's my boy.

Let me ask you something.

Why are you dating her

if you are not serious about her?

Go ask her the same question.

She's not serious about me either.
It's fair.

How is it fair?

You are a guy.
She's at a disadvantage.

How?

We get to sleep with each other.
It's a win-win situation.

How sweet.

New, what's the deal with you?

You have tried
to protect Joy many times.

Do you have a crush on her?

- Do you?
- I think he does.

I'm saying this as a friend.

I don't want you to do this
to anyone, not just Joy.

Don't use our friendship
as an excuse.

I don't mind

if you sleep with her too.

She belongs to everybody.
We can share her.

- Dang, listen to him.
- Are you interested?

- Nail her if you want.
- Do you want to?

Hey.

Hey, New.

I'm serious.

Let me know
when you plan to sleep with her.

Hey.

What's your problem?

After that,

his friends boycotted him.

That's how we got closer.

What did you mean

when you said

you were friends for a while?

We talked before I decided
to study abroad.

However, we lost contact

after I left.

Why had you never told me about him?

You didn't say anything

when we ran into him
at Art Space either.

You didn't ask. I wasn't going
to bring it up for no reason.

Now that I've answered
your questions,

I hope

you will give me a chance
to get to know you better

with just the two of us

and no outsiders.

It's not right to
call me "the outsider"

because even though we've only
known each other for a short time,

wasn't it quite a memorable moment?

Well, as I said,

I would have forgotten all about you

if I hadn't run into you
the other day.

Also,

despite how close we were,

I don't think

it's any of your business

if I want to get to know Nan better.

Are you sure
you don't need a ride home?

It's okay.

I don't want to bother you.

How about this?

Text me when you get home

so I know you're okay.

Can I have your contact information?

Nan, are you sure you don't want
to go out drinking with me?

No, you go ahead.

All right then.

See you later, New.

Can I have

your Instagram account instead?

Sure.

(vertical.new)

(joy.of.happyness)

At the restaurant,
what was that about?

What do you mean?

I don't like how you talked to me
in front of Nan.

And do you think

I like how you were trying to give
out the message that we were an item

when I haven't told Nan that?

I didn't mean to.

The words just spilled out.

Please use your brain

before you talk next time.

Or I won't help you anymore.

I want you to hit on Nan,

the girl who came with me today.

Why should I do that?

You don't need a reason.

You will benefit from this deal
without having to lose anything.

What do you mean?

You get to sleep with me
and my friend.

It sounds fun to be

in a love triangle.

Why doesn't it sound like
a good deal to me?

I've already slept

with you before.

And I know

that you are rotten inside.

Do you still hold
a grudge against me?

It happened ages ago.

Plus, you've changed.

Exactly.

I'm not the same idiot I used to be.

Unless you tell me why you want me
to hit on your friend,

I won't help you.

Here's the real reason.

I want my best friend

to fall in love
with a great guy like you.

I don't know

if you are actually doing this

because you mean
your friend well or not.

The method is a little extreme.

But since I've decided

to join your little ruse,

I don't want your thoughtless brain

to ruin everything.

To me,

this is only the beginning.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Were you sleeping?

No, I just got out of the shower.

I'm sorry for...

Well.

I just got home,
but I called you right away.

Why are you apologizing?
You didn't do anything wrong.

I did.

I would normally reply
to a text right away.

I don't like to keep people waiting.

I wasn't waiting for you.

Really?

Are you saying

it was just all in my head?

Yes.

You seem like a good person.

I rarely come across
people like you.

What do you mean?

Well, most people

make the other person feel special

when they don't actually

feel that way deep down.

I wasn't waiting for you, but
it doesn't mean you are not special.

I want you to feel comfortable
around me.

I don't want you to feel pressured

or feel like you have to go
the distance to please me.

Does this mean
you have quietly opened

your heart to me?

Not yet.

However,

I do

want to get to know you better.

That's good enough for me.

It's late. You should go to bed.

I'm hanging up now.

Wait, Nan.

Are you free tomorrow?

I...

want to see you again.

Just the two of us this time.

Okay.

Okay, goodnight.

Do you know each other?

Yes.

We know each other well.

It's not right to
call me "the outsider"

because even though we've only
known each other for a short time,

wasn't it quite a memorable moment?

You came home looking like
you got raped the other day.

Today, you came home wasted.

I never thought you would
waste your life away like this.

I told you

to ignore me and leave me alone.

Go flirt with your women

but do it somewhere else.

Don't bring them over.

It's disgusting.

This is my house.

I can do whatever I want.

And you're one to talk.

You have brought men
over to this house too.

Have you never wondered

who I got

this habit from?

You are an adult now.

You should know which habits of mine
you should or should not follow.

I have many good sides to me,

but you choose to follow my flaws.

I wouldn't mind if you were a man.

Why?

What's the difference?

I'm not causing anyone trouble.

I feel embarrassed every time
somebody asks me about you.

My only daughter

is a slut

who opens up her legs for anyone.

What do you want me
to tell everyone?

Tell them I'm dead.

That way, they will stop
asking about me.

- Tell them I'm dead!
- I wish you were dead.

Things might be better that way.

(Nan)

Why aren't you picking up?
I need you right now.

Hey.

- Nan.
- Yes.

Are you okay?

You look worried.

How do you know?

Look.

Well.

After we finished
talking last night,

I fell asleep.

My phone wasn't charging,
so the battery ran out.

I woke up

to so many missed calls from Joy.

I called back,
but she didn't answer.

I'm worried about her.

I see.

She might just be sleeping in.

It sounds like you know her well.

I don't need to know her well

to have guessed that.

After she parted ways with us,

she went partying.

Partygoers usually wake up

really late anyways.

Are you really worried about Joy?

Yes.

I'm the only best friend she's got.

I'm the first person she comes to
whenever something happens.

She becomes anxious whenever
she can't get a hold of me.

Sometimes, she even thinks
that I'm unfriending her.

That's why I'm not sure

if she's sleeping in
or she's mad at me.

Nan didn't answer
my calls last night.

Did you go back to see her
after parting ways with me?

(Joy)

Joy.

I'm so sorry.

I forgot to charge my phone.

The battery ran out.

Are you all right?

I had a huge fight with my father.

But I'm fine now.

Where are you?

I'm at Art Space with New.

Can I come see you?

I don't want to be alone.

But I understand
if you two want some privacy.

I'll try to be okay on my own.

It's fine. You should come.
I'll wait for you.

Was that Joy?

Yes.

What did she say?

She said she's coming to see us.

Are you okay with that?

Whatever you say.

How are you feeling?
Do you feel better now?

Yes.

But I'll hit rock bottom again
once I see my father's face.

He's been coming home
weirdly often these days.

But what can I say? It's his house.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I might move out.

If I don't,

I'll probably end up killing myself.

You can live with me.

No, thanks. Your place isn't
big enough for the two of us.

Now isn't the time to be fussy.

Don't worry about me.

I've already decided where to live.

Thank you very much for today.

And I'm sorry we didn't get
to spend time alone as you wished.

It's fine.

What are you doing?

I'll be living with you.

Don't worry about Nan finding out.

I'll be really careful.

From what I saw today,

you weren't careful at all.

I tried, didn't I?

It would look suspicious
if I tried harder than this.

Nan would suspect us.

Things are good right now.
Nan's used to my behavior.

She might have her suspicions

but chooses not to say anything
because she trusts you, a friend.

Yes, exactly.

That's what friends do.

But I'm not your friend.

And I don't plan
to be pushed around by you.

I'm in this game of yours

as a player,

not a pawn.

Fine.

Let me spend one night here first.

If you decide you want me out,

I will leave tomorrow.

(Tell me when you arrive
at the new place.)

Where are you now? Answer me.

(Joy)

(Joy)

I got here a while ago.

The host welcomed me warmly.

Don't worry about me.

Goodnight.

Don't worry about me.

I've already decided where to live.

What did you mean when you said

you were friends for a while?

Yes.

We know each other well.

(Goodnight.)

(Goodnight.)

(Goodnight.)

(Goodnight.)

(Goodnight.)

Don't overthink, Nan.

There's nothing going on.

(Goodnight.)

Didn't you say you've changed?

Even your passcode
is still the same.

(Goodnight.)

(You too.)

(The selected message will be
deleted from your device.)

(Zolo Dance)

Ahem! Nan!

What's up with this photo? Explain.

It's nothing.
He just posted a photo of me.

He just posted a photo of you?

This isn't "just".

This is "being obvious".

How so?

Oh? How is it not obvious?

If he isn't serious about you,

he wouldn't have gone public
with you like that.

I never saw him post a photo
of a woman before.

Come on, Zo.

He posted a photo of me,
but it doesn't mean

I'm more important than anyone else.

He probably thought
it was a nice photo.

Ugh! You're so annoying!

Hey!

Just come clean
and tell me you're dating him!

We're not there yet.

Huh?

Not yet, honestly.
Ask Joy if you don't believe me.

Joy knows about this too?

Of course.

Well, I'm her best friend.

And she knew him from before too.

She knew him from before?

Hey, you have to make sure

they're just friends

and not former lovers.

Zo.

Seriously, Nan.

You know your friend's
not a regular woman.

It doesn't sit well
with me to hear that.

Honestly, I also suspect there
might be something more than that.

But if there is,

isn't it in the past?

And do you think
the past can't be dug up?

Nan,

I don't want you to be so paranoid
that everything gets ruined.

But if there really
is nothing going on,

I'm rooting for you and New

because both of you
really suit each other.

But if you're feeling
something's not right

between those two,

I don't want you to
overlook that feeling

because it might be a red flag

warning you

to be careful.

You understand, don't you?

Well, I'm her best friend.

And she knew him from before too.

She knew him from before?

Hey, you have to make sure

they're just friends

and not former lovers.

Thank you.

Without you,

I wouldn't get to
eat this fish for tonight.

- New.
- Yes?

Can I ask you something?

Of course.

You're serious about me, aren't you?

Of course.

Why are you asking me that?

- Hm?
- Well...

Something's been confusing me
for days on end.

But I'm relieved now
after hearing you say that.

All right. If that's the case,

then what do you think of me?

I'm serious about you too.

Hm...

It's so weird.

The feelings came so quickly

that I wasn't ready for it.

I wonder if I'm infatuated with you.

Since we seem to be
sharing the same thought,

would you like to open up
your heart and go out with me?

Well,

I know

it might seem a little too soon.

But I don't want
to waste any more time.

Here.

Don't snoop around
in my room while I'm away.

And take this to my car.

(vertical.new)

My boyfriend.

I saw what you posted
on your social media.

Seeing it

made me somewhat embarrassed.

And don't you think I am?

Well, I don't know.

Just a second.

Boyfriend?
What are you talking about?

I've decided to go out with New.

Why are you this easy?

Oh? And why do I
have to be difficult?

He wants to be serious with me.

And how do you know
he wants to be serious?

He told me.

And you believed him just like that?

Oh? Then who else should I believe?

Should I believe you,
who's going crazy right now?

Joy,

I decided to go out with him,

and I don't know
how much I can trust him.

He might not be any different from
the other guys I've met.

But if I end up crying over him,

then you can rub it in
and tell me that I'm stupid.

But I'm begging you.

Just this once, okay?

And what about me?

Have you thought
about how I'm going to be?

Just be the same as always.

I'm not going to disappear off
the face of the earth.

It'll never be the same.

Once you've got a boyfriend,

you're going to prioritize him.

I'll become "the outsider",
and you'll abandon me.

You know no one's going
to be there for me

no matter how many
guys I go through.

Yes, I know that.

That's why I'm telling you
I'm not going anywhere.

Okay?

Then can you promise me?

No matter what happens,

you're not going to leave me.

I promise.

Really?

(K. New)

So,

it's the love you have for a friend
that caused you to rope me in?

I heard everything.

Your entire conversation with Nan.

- Did she tell you?
- She didn't.

I was on the call the whole time
you two were talking.

I don't understand
why you had to be that mad

even though you should've been happy

Nan and I are dating

because it's going
according to your plan.

Maybe the love you have for Nan

isn't just the love for a friend.

Maybe it's the love
from one woman to another woman.

That's why you couldn't
stand it and got angry.

I think you have to figure out
the answer to this.

Otherwise,

The person who's going to
get their heart broken

is you.

Maybe the love you have for Nan

isn't just the love for a friend.

Maybe it's the love
from one woman to another woman.

(Zolo Dance)

- New.
- Hm?

Has Joy contacted you at all?

Why? Is there a problem
between you and her?

She's gone silent since she
found out we're dating.

I don't know if it's related.

Probably not. I think she probably

just wants to rest

or ponder over things.

Let's go to Joy's place.

She might be there.

Why do you think so?

You probably know

she left her house
to get away from her dad.

She can't stay
in the same place for too long.

Whenever she feels unsafe
somewhere, she'll go home.

Please? Let's go to her house.

We have to at least check first.
Please?

Okay.

All right. Let's go then.

Hello, sir.

Nan, what brings you here?

I came to see Joy. Is she home?

She's been gone for days.

I thought she went to stay with you.

No, she didn't.

Hmph. Then I guess
she's staying with some guy.

You look familiar.
We've met, haven't we?

Let's go, Nan.

Hey, I asked you a question.
Show some respect.

That's it. You were here before.

I don't understand my daughter
at all. What kind of a woman is she?

She just sleeps around

without getting the guy
to do anything.

It's only her who'd go right up
to his doorstep.

How many times have you
slept with her for free?

We're here to look for Joy.

If you don't know, then shut up.

Goodbye, sir.

I didn't expect you

to be that aggressive.

Didn't you say you've changed?

Well,

I didn't mean it.

But didn't you hear what he said?

He said it as if Joy
wasn't his daughter.

So you lost control of yourself

and did something like that

because of Joy?

It has nothing to do with anyone.

It's instinctive.

Nan,

I'm sorry for scaring you.

I wasn't scared.

I was surprised.

You were surprised about what?

About Joy's dad saying
you've been at his house before.

That's right.

I've been there before.

But it's just like I told you.

Why were you there?

I just gave Joy a lift home.

That was it?

That was it.

I'm sorry!

(Joy)

(Hurry back. I'm waiting.)

Don't compare "love" to "a game"

because whether you win or lose,

you can end up in pain all the same.

I don't love Nan like
how a woman loves another woman.

But I love her as a friend
and very much so.

You're acting strange tonight.

It's like you're upset
about something.

If someone mistreats you,
then stay away from them.

Friends might become strangers.

But significant others
stay together forever.

And what about me?

People can't just have
whatever they want!

Even if you create something,
you lose it sometimes.

Don't touch it.

That was close.

I almost leaned against it.

There. There.

Roll your head. Like that.

There.

That's it.

- Hello.
- Smile.

Cut! Cut!

- Yay!
- Your stomach's been grumbling.

- Well, I'm sorry.
- Constantly.

Your stomach's
been grumbling so loud.
