Are you Kim Chul Soo?

Yes.

I'm Suh Woo Jin.

I'm the one who'll be photographing Lee Ma Ri.

Kim Chul Soo.

Woo Jin...

Ma Ri...

I'm sorry, but I can't do this today.

Ma Ri!

I'll go.

- Ma Ri! - Ma Ri!

Wait.

I want to tell you something.

I think I'll have to talk to Ma Ri first. Let's talk later. Sorry.

Be back soon, okay?

If I buy you vanilla ice cream, promise you'll marry me!

Ma Ri.

Vanilla ice cream...

I bought some.

I thought I would never see you again.

I thought you were dead.

If you'd been alive all this time...

you should've at least contacted me.

Or visited me.

Or at least forgiven me.

I'm sorry.

Kim Chul Soo!

- This seems fun! - Hey, Chul Soo!

- Dr. Kim, come here! - Take a look at this!

Your writing that was published...

I brought it here as soon as it came out.

He used to be such a good writer.

But now I have no clue what he writes. He uses such big words.

It's so awesome to see your writing in print.

Mm...

What's eating him?

I sent it to the publisher without his permission.

Don't worry. It'll be all right. I'll go talk to him.

Okay.

I see.

So she sent it off to be published.

She's such a lucky charm to have around!

I know, right? She brings fame and fortune, unlike someone I know

who brought us nothing but financial ruin...

Be quiet.

Are you going to live with her?

Such a chatterbox.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm the one who's sorry for acting like this

when you went through all that trouble for me.

Frankly speaking, you're in a bad mood, aren't you?

No, it's not that...

I've just had a rough day today.

What's wrong?

Does it have to do with Lee Ma Ri?

By any chance... did you meet Suh Woo Jin?

I'd like to be alone.

Let's talk next time. Sorry.

Ma Ri.

Can I... stay here for the time being?

I have so many things to tell you.

[From Kim Chul Soo: I'll wait in front of your house.]

I'm waiting in front of your house.

Tell me where you are and I'll go there.

Let's talk. I think we need to have a talk today.

[Kim Chul Soo, Kim Chul Soo, Kim Chul Soo...]

[Calling Kim Chul Soo]

How is the merger coming along?

Ma Ri won't be okay if Mr. Seo is involved.

What would happen if Mr. Seo weren't involved?

You mean you're going to let him be involved in this?

No, we're going forward with the merger.

But without Mr. Seo.

I don't like Ma Ri working with Mr. Seo.

Thank you for thinking of Ma Ri in that way.

How is the photo shoot coming along?

Great. The two of them get along so well.

Things are happening like Mr. Seo had predicted.

I think the two of them are living together.

You mean Suh Woo Jin and Ma Ri are?

Mr. Jung.

I would like for you to not give up on Ma Ri.

I think you're the best fit for her.

Let's change the scenery.

Are you seriously going to travel alone without a manager?

I still haven't decided what I'll work on next.

I like going around by myself.

Are you living with Suh Woo Jin?

The hotel's pretty far from the set.

He's just staying as my guest.

So?

Are you going to start seeing him again?

What about the other guy?

I'm talking about Kim Chul Soo.

I haven't met with him since Woo Jin came back.

Did you guys fight?

Did you two break up?

No.

I'm still debating.

You're hungry, aren't you?

Go back to what you were doing. I'll call you when it's ready.

[Kim Yoo Ri]

[Kim Chul Soo]

[Calling Kim Chul Soo]

I was going to call you anyway.

Where are you staying?

Where?

I don't like the sad theme.

Then let's finish the shoot by taking some photos of you smiling.

I didn't know you like to read.

I've started liking it.

Hang on just a second.

What is it?

Sorry for pressuring you to let me stay here.

No, it's okay with me.

I wanted to spend as much time with you as I could while I'm in Korea.

I like spending time with you too.

Do you like doing anything and everything with me?

I wanted to do everything I could to make you happy.

What if...

I wanted something more than this?

Um...

Let's talk about this later.

Let's have some fruit.

Who is it?

Oh, it's a guest of mine. I'll return soon, so you don't have to come out.

I'll come down.

No, I'll come up.

I should've come down.

Here.

I've picked a few that I like. Take a look at them and make your decision.

I don't think he'll understand.

But this place...

It's a friend's place. I'll be staying here for the time being.

Sorry for coming up here.

Ma Ri.

How do you two know each other?

Oh.

She's the person I met in Japan.

I asked to have some captions written for the photo shoot

but this isn't going to work.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

It's nothing.

- Good night! - Good night!

Kim Chul Soo!

Hello.

You're so popular that I recognized you right away.

I'm not doing an interview.

No, wait! I'm...

I'm an editor with a publishing house.

Actually, I came here because I wanted to publish a book written by you.

Book?

I'm a fan of your essay 'Lovers in Asuka,' you see.

I love it so much that I joined Lee Ma Ri's fan club

because I thought she'd written it.

And I read your short story that was published

in the Journal of Contemporary Literature.

It was really good.

Oh! And I really like the character Baek Suk in 'Lovers in Asuka.'

You mentioned in 'Lovers in Asuka'

that you wanted to write a book that conveyed the same poetic feeling.

I kept thinking about those words.

I got impatient, so I came here.

Would you like to write a novel for me?

What kind of novel?

About my relationship with Lee Ma Ri?

Oh, I guess you've already gotten a lot of those offers.

Well, if you prefer, you could write it under a pseudonym.

I have no desire to write a book.

Please think about it.

I can't trust a publisher who wants to publish me

after reading only a thin travel essay.

Besides, I can't write a book in my current situation.

Sorry.

Here's your business card.

He's just as rude as people say he is.

What's wrong? I got scared because your voice sounded strange over the phone.

Why is your face so thin?

Makes me sad.

What's wrong?

Chul Soo...

How are things with you and Lee Ma Ri?

Not very well, are they?

No... What's wrong though?

I told you I know him, remember?

Suh Woo Jin, I mean.

He's at Lee Ma Ri's place right now.

I mean he's staying with her.

Did you already know?

You mean Suh Woo Jin's there?

This is too much.

Hello?

Hey, it's me.

Let's meet right now.

Now?

I'll go to your place.

Not my place. You can't.

I'll come meet you.

[Lee Ma Ri calling]

Kim Chul Soo.

Kim Chul Soo!

- Oh, hey, Ma Ri. - Wait. I'll be back.

Why do you keep avoiding me?

Does it seem like I am?

Is it because of what happened that night?

You should've taken me home if I was drunk.

I would've if you didn't keep shouting you didn't want to go home!

Still, how could you leave me alone like that in the morning?

In the morning?

Ma Ri had something come up.

Why, of course. That makes sense.

Since you're her puppy.

Geez...

In any case, you should act cooler.

I'm going to pretend like it never happened.

I left your clothes in your office, so take them.

You can keep them.

How can I wear them?

Ye Rin, wait!

Ye Rin.

Min Jang Soo! Why you...

No, that can't be. No way. That's not possible...

Min Jang Soo!

Hey, Byung Joon!

Hey!

If you didn't report on Lee Ma Ri's boyfriend, you'd be fired by now!

What are you doing these days?

Don't you know these are hard times for the company?

Relax. I've been investigating something these days.

Oh really? Is that so, Reporter Jeon?

Oh yeah, Editor Choi.

About that news article on Lee Ma Ri... who broke it first?

Wasn't it Mirae Daily?

I looked into it...

- But that's not true. - What?

Take a look.

[News article on Lee Ma Ri's ghostwriter]

See?

Isn't that strange? There's no initial news article!

You're right. It's been deleted.

Oh, I saved it.

What? Why are you telling me that now? Let me see!

True Daily?

Oh yeah, it was True Daily!

Let's see... who was the reporter?

- Print the article for me. - Okay.

Oh, I think you're on to something!

Don't you know who I am?

The symbol of truth, faith, and loyalty...

Veteran reporter Jeon Byung Joon!

Oh, nice!

Byung Joon... give us an exclusive scoop, okay?

Oh brother.

It's printed!

I'll be going now.

I believe in you, Byung Joon!

Did Eun Young stop by?

Woo Jin...

Is he staying with you?

Don't be like this.

I've hit rock bottom, haven't I?

Kim Chul Soo.

I was going to tell you...

But I was afraid you'd get angry.

Since you always get angry at me these days.

So I was scared...

that if I keep hurting you and making you angry...

then this time...

we would really break up.

So what do you want to do?

Do you want to live with your first love...

and go out with me at the same time?

It's different now.

What's different?

You go out with me, but your first love is your first love.

Is it really different?

That means it's not over between us!

And if it isn't over...

then it would've been better not to have started in the first place.

I... have to be with him right now.

I have to.

I... hope you can understand me.

Hello?

This should be the right place.

Excuse me.

- I have a question. - Yes?

The news organization that used to be here...

do you know where they relocated to?

- News organization? - Um...

It should've been here at least up until a month ago.

No, what are you talking about?

This building's been empty for over a year.

What?

[True Daily, February 5th]

Lee Ma Ri... Kim Jin Wook...

Choi Yeon...

They all belong to TS Entertainment.

I told you guys to draft a contract between them and me

not with TS Entertainment!

Do you think the artists would comply?

Raise the conditions of the contract by ten percent

for the remainder of the contract's term.

After that, we'll give them rights, okay?

I think that's too harsh.

Just do as I say.

Did the negotiations with ANC not go well or something?

We have nothing to lose.

Even if our merger with ANC fails

it will be better this way.

Discuss this with the artists.

What are you guys doing? Go talk to them right now!

Thanks for working here late.

As a manager, you're not allowed to get your personal feelings involved.

Though, of course, you wouldn't make such a mistake.

What are you going to do about Ma Ri?

Make her pay the fine all at once for breach of contract.

Lee Ma Ri never signed a contract with TS Entertainment.

It was with me.

It's going to be a long and tough fight.

I like to come here to meet people late at night.

No need to worry about people watching us.

It's nice.

When you called, I didn't expect you'd want us to meet.

When you said you wanted to meet, I was a bit surprised.

Is something wrong?

Just that... I didn't want to go home...

Did I call you when you were busy?

It's fine. I'm happy to meet up.

But isn't Suh Woo Jin staying at your place?

I happened to hear that since I visit the set pretty often.

We're just friends.

But isn't he your first love?

I am greatly indebted to him.

I understand where you're coming from.

But I don't understand where Suh Woo Jin is coming from.

It seems the photo shoot is almost done anyway.

Is he going to leave after it's done?

Or will he continue to stay at your place?

Whatever he wants.

I'm going to let him do whatever he wants.

No matter what sort of sacrifice I have to make.

Why?

There must be another reason you're going this far for him.

Aren't you hungry?

You said you didn't eat.

Let's order something.

Thanks for dinner today.

I'll make it up to you next time.

Then sign a contract with me.

You think I'm still valuable enough?

You were an A-list actress for ten years.

Actually, I'm thinking of going back to the U.S.

What do you think about working as an actress in the U.S.?

So you're going back to the U.S.

I'm sad.

Well, I'm glad that you're sad that I'm leaving.

You've done a lot for me, with no strings attached.

You really have, including today.

Seriously, why are you acting like this today?

It's nothing.

I just wanted to be with a friend today.

I told you I don't want to be your friend.

Woo Jin...

I'll just remember this night as you wanting to be with me.

It's cold. You should go inside.

Thank you for today.

Why did you want to see me?

Did you meet with Suh Woo Jin yesterday?

Yes.

He hasn't told you why he's back?

So you want to live with a ticking time bomb?

He hasn't told you?

What do you mean by that?

I see he hasn't told you.

He's been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.

He could collapse at any moment.

Be it tomorrow, in a few months, or in a few years. No one knows.

I thought it was strange when he said he was coming back.

It seems everyone on your staff already knows about it.

What are you going to do now?

Can I stay with you for the time being?

I have so many things to tell you.

I can't?

I can't let you now.

I can't be with you.

Okay.

Did you sleep well?

Whoa...

You're really good at this.

Evidence that I've been living alone all this time.

Sorry.

When will you stop saying that?

I'm going to move into a hotel today.

Why?

I don't want to be a burden on you.

If that's what you're worried about, then don't go.

And you didn't want me to stay in the beginning.

You said it was only until the photo shoot ends. It's almost over...

So until then, let's just stay together.

Okay?

What did Kim Chul Soo say?

You didn't meet him yesterday?

Did you tell him I was staying here?

You're slow to answer and slow to think...

This isn't the you that I wanted to see when I came here.

Darn it, it's cold!

So...

Let's see if I can figure this out step by step.

A fake news organization...

published a news article once or twice a year.

And all the articles were about scandals involving stars from TS Entertainment.

What does this mean?

Should I tell CEO Seo Tae Suk about this?

Nah... What am I thinking?

How dare he steal someone else's news article

and claim another reporter wrote it!

Does he think journalism is a joke?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't his first time doing that.

Now all that's left is the meeting of

the shareholders and the merger will be complete.

I look forward to working with you.

Has Lee Ma Ri renewed her contract?

No, there's no need to.

The contract is still valid, and I'll return the fine she paid.

I hope you'll respect what she wants.

Why, of course.

But there is one problem.

Your future with the company will be decided by the shareholders.

Are you okay with that?

Do what you want.

But you have a problem, too.

My relationship with Ma Ri has always been unique.

Frankly, TS Entertainment's last decade, as well as Lee Ma Ri's last decade...

have consisted of Ma Ri and I walking together along this path.

So Ma Ri's contract has always been with me.

Which means that Ma Ri still belongs to me.

So what you're saying is...

Whether Lee Ma Ri works with us or not depends on you?

Of course, since I have the say

ANC, who's merging with my company, also has the say.

As long as you don't dispose of me, you have nothing to worry about.

I was the one who insisted on staying with her.

I pressured her to let me stay at her place.

Frankly, I really wanted to meet you even before coming to Korea.

I wanted to do two things.

First, to pay off my debt to Seo Tae Suk.

And second, to meet Kim Chul Soo.

Why?

Do you know why Ma Ri and I broke up?

I don't want to know.

What do you really want to say to me?

No matter how great you are, you can't handle all the criticism you'll get.

There would be no reason but you for Ma Ri

to have to withstand such criticism either.

So?

I left for Ma Ri's sake.

And I never for once regretted my decision.

So you came here to tell me to leave Ma Ri, like you did in the past?

What a jerk...

How can so many people around Ma Ri tell me to leave her?

Why is everyone clamoring when they can't even protect her?

Whether we decide to break up or not...

is up to me and Ma Ri.

Whether we decide to withstand future ordeals...

is also up to me and Ma Ri.

Whether you regret your previous cowardly decision...

or not is entirely up to you.

But don't try to impose it on me, okay?

Were you happy after leaving Ma Ri?

I'd rather hear you say that you still love her even though it's too late.

Tell her your true feelings!

Kim Chul Soo!

Wait!

What is it?

These are photos from Ma Ri's photo shoot.

Please write descriptions to go with them.

Most of all, I wanted to ask you to do this.

I refuse.

If you don't want to, then throw them away.

Did you read it all?

Mm.

I read it all last night.

How was it?

What do you mean? I already told you a hundred times it's good.

If I spent all night reading it...

that means it suits my taste!

But the author has to say he wants to do it.

You have to convince him.

Please! That would be difficult.

He can come off as being rude the first time you meet him.

We need a trigger to get someone like Kim Chul Soo to write again.

Maybe he's been rejected by a girl in the past?

Sorry.

Sorry!

I shouldn't have said that.

[Kim Chul Soo: Let's talk. Call me.]

[Okay, let's meet.]

The date Lee Ma Ri's ghostwriting scandal broke out...

And the date she renewed her contract...

The date Kim Jin Wook's scandal broke out...

And the date he renewed his contract...

In both cases they're the same.

What the heck?

What are you doing?

You scared me!

You didn't get off work yet?

Oh... um...

Ye Rin...

Why are you looking at me like that?

CEO Seo Tae Suk is your brother, isn't he?

He is, isn't he?

Never mind. It's nothing.

I haven't uncovered anything yet anyway.

I'll leave first.

Byung Joon...

Yes?

Can we talk for a bit?

How about we go for drinks?

Things are all starting to add up now.

Okay...

Ye Rin...

No matter what may happen in the future, please don't hate me.

So what I mean is...

if the brother of the girl that I love...

is the enemy of my friend...

Okay, I got you.

No, I don't think you're understanding me.

The alcohol is...

gone.

Excuse me, please give us more alcohol!

We're closing now. You already paid, too.

Okay, okay.

Ye Rin...

I... will go to the restroom.

Be back soon...

Hey!

I texted you a long time ago but you come here now?

Look here.

Oh look, it's the puppy.

What brings you here?

You drank this bottle all by yourself?

I'm so frustrated!

How can you do this here?

Am I at the wrong seat?

Ye Rin!

Where is he?

- Dr. Kim! - Chul Soo, what do we do?

Why? What's wrong?

Bo Young... I mean, your mother is really taking Yoo Ri to America!

I tried to stop her but I couldn't!

So you go in there and do something!

I'm not going.

Yoo Ri, why are you doing this?

Your disease will be cured only if you go to America!

I'll get treatment here. I don't want to go!

I already booked our flight tickets and made an appointment at a hospital.

Where did you get the money to do that?

The aunts' bank accounts and..

That can't be enough. I've already looked into it!

I also used my savings.

Don't lie. You said you had a mountain of debt!

How did you do it?

How did you do it?

Why do you ask when you already know?

I didn't say it.

She said it first.

Lee Ma Ri did!

Mom...

- Yoo Ri! - Yoo Ri!

- Yoo Ri! - She needs to go to a hospital.

Yoo Ri! Yoo Ri!

- Yoo Ri! - What should we do?

Yoo Ri!

What are you up to?

Reading a book?

'The Sorrows of Young Werther?'

Have you read it?

I thought it was boring and dry at first...

But now I like Werther.

He reminds me of someone.

Kim Chul Soo?

The book is mentioned in 'Lovers in Asuka.'

Ma Ri.

I left you so coldly back then...

It was hard for you being alone, wasn't it?

Sorry.

Don't say you're sorry.

I decided to leave back then.

The thought of a poor photographer being by your side...

hurt my pride.

That's why I left.

I'm sure you understand.

If I'd told you that I'd be okay no matter what happens...

I'm sure you would've stayed by me.

Since you're a strong person.

I realized what a huge mistake I'd made after meeting with Kim Chul Soo.

Woo Jin...

Go to Kim Chul Soo.

Don't worry about me.

How can I not worry about you?

How?

I can't do that.

I'm saying I can't.

I can't take this. As soon as day breaks, let's get her to a hospital.

Be quiet.

What did I tell you? Yoo Ri needs to go to America and get an operation!

It's happening just like the news article said.

Some people are meant to meet each other.

And some people are meant to part after meeting each other.

Oh my!

Why are you so shocked?

No need to be shy now.

It's not like your first time being here.

Again?

Again.

At my place again.

You sure ate a lot yesterday. All that food...

You know how hard it was to take your clothes off?

My mom had such a hard time.

I told you to keep the clothes.

Since you were going to wear them again.

Rub those eye boogers off so we can eat.

No thanks. I'm leaving.

Eat first before leaving.

- Jang Soo! - Yes, Mom!

Tell that girl to eat before going this time.

Okay!

You heard her.

I don't want to! Give me my clothes!

But this looks good on you.

How can I wear this?

Where are my clothes?

- All right, that's a wrap! - Good job, everyone!

Hooray! Great job, everyone!

- Great job! - All right, let's take a break!

A reason came up for me to do this.

Bye then.

[I was learning then that crossing the line was becoming a reality.]

[Whenever my heart was aching and tears were forming in my eyes...]

[Whenever my throat was choked with sadness, I knew I loved you...]

I knew then how different we were, how different our lives had been...

How different the values that were holding us up were...

I did not write 'Lovers in Asuka.'

I was learning then that crossing the line was becoming a reality.

Whenever my heart was aching...

Whenever hot tears were forming in my eyes...

Whenever my throat was choked with sadness...

I knew that I was alive, and that I was loving someone.

I understood that I loved you.

Kim Chul Soo!
