Original subtitles

The sun is so bright, I can't open my eyes.

When the humid air blows,

it's hard to even breathe.

It's already November, but today it feels as hot as midsummer.

This unexpected heatwave

is throwing off all of my senses.

A season that I thought had already passed has come back.

You've changed.

How?

You look old.

Oh?

Rin?

Who's that?

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Hase and I were working together with the catering.

My name is Miyauchi Masumi.

Why didn't you tell me?

Well…

Were you hiding it?

Of course not. It wasn't important enough to bring up.

Why wouldn't you turn down a job offer from your ex-girlfriend?

Like I said, it wasn't like that. It was a coincidence.

There's nothing to worry about.

Masumi and I… I mean…

Ms. Miyauchi and I aren't the type to hold onto feelings like that.

This is unbelievable.

What did you say?

I just can't believe it.

To me, it goes against common sense.

And I think all my friends in Korea would agree with me.

Can we stop talking about that?

You know it, don't you?

Even if we argue over what we think is common sense,

it won't solve anything.

Rin.

I didn't tell you about Ms. Miyauchi,

and I'm sorry.

But

the catering job gave me a real sense of accomplishment.

They might even introduce me to--

I want to support your job.

But…

where is your courtesy as my boyfriend?

Not to mention, an "ex-girlfriend" is someone you fell in love with once.

You can always fall in love again.

- That will never happen. - Why?

Because I have you.

I was able to become serious about cooking

and was motivated to take on the challenge of catering,

all because of you.

Just as you are working hard at animation,

right now,

I want to give my very best to my cooking.

Okay.

But I want to lay down some rules.

I don't want you two to meet up alone.

And I don't want you to contact her if it's not about work.

I promise.

I will never do anything that you wouldn't want me to do.

Thank you.

I know that asking him to turn down a job for my sake is unreasonable.

I understand that in my head,

but not in my heart.

Sorry for the wait.

- Here. - Thanks.

They also had this.

Oh, wow! I can't wait.

Me too.

I think I should talk to him about it, after all.

I'm sure Taiga will understand.

Are you okay?

I stepped on something.

Let me take a look.

It doesn't look like you're hurt anywhere.

Park Rin.

What if you ruin the mood by complaining?

That's right.

Sometimes you need to suck it up and compromise a little.

Let's make this a fun trip.

- Let's. - All right.

It looks like a miniature town.

Taiga? Are you afraid of heights?

Not really.

You're scared, aren't you?

I'm not scared.

That's what I'm talking about.

I guess you haven't changed in that sense.

Oh please. We're the same.

Thanks for waiting.

It's from Shige. Sorry, can I take this?

Hello.

Yes. It's hot today, isn't it?

This is good.

It goes well with this view.

Thank you for bringing me to such a beautiful place.

I'm happy to be able to come here with you.

Me too.

I'm glad I got to come here with you.

Amazing…

‪WEEKLY SQUAT

A lot of people get the wrong idea about it,

so I'm glad you showed interest.

Oh, it's nothing.

- If I hear of anything, I'll let you know. - Thank you.

You'd better be grateful.

Thank you!

I'll get going then.

- Okay. - See you.

Thank you!

I had no luck with three machines in a row,

but I'm finally getting back on track.

Before I forget… I got your favorite.

- Strawberry chocolate. - Thanks.

Who were those people? I've never seen them here before.

They're basically… my business partners.

What are you saying?

I may not look it, but I'm actually thinking about things, all right?

Just trust me.

This is a torii?

I WANT TO MEET MY SOULMATE

You write your wish here, huh?

Since we're here, why don't you write something too?

Maybe I will.

I WANT MY EX-GIRLFRIEND BACK

PLEASE REKINDLE OUR RELATIONSHIP

Rin?

We don't have time, so let's go.

You don't seem to have energy.

Are you not feeling well?

Sorry… But I'm feeling just fine.

It's Yung-yeol.

Hello?

Park Rin. Did you see my message?

Oh, about your souvenir? I'll check right now.

What is this?

Local sake from Izu and pickled wasabi?

Rin. Maybe you shouldn't talk on the phone while on the bus.

Sorry.

Sorry. I'll call you back later.

Thank you for waiting.

Here's your creamy lemon pasta with salmon and mushroom

and roasted pork with beet sauce.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Enjoy.

All right.

What's wrong?

I ordered roast beef,

but this is…

roasted pork with beet sauce.

You're right…

Excuse me.

I'll eat that then.

You were interested in the creamy pasta too, so we can swap.

This is…

the restaurant's mistake, right?

Yeah, it is, but…

Since I work at Tanomi,

I don't like making a fuss in these situations.

I know that everyone makes mistakes.

But wouldn't it be better to let them know?

But I'll eat it, so isn't that fine?

So basically,

I'm in the wrong again, huh?

I didn't say that--

You said that we shouldn't argue about our cultural differences,

but if we don't acknowledge that,

I'll look like a bad person who does everything wrong.

That makes me more sad.

They don't have it.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Do you have ramune?

I'm sorry, we don't have that.

They don't have it…

STUDIO JUPITET YOUR APPLICATION IS COMPLETED

THANK YOU FOR APPLYING TO OUR STUDIO

The most important thing

is to lead a stable life.

Trust your mother, okay?

- The art instructor position? - Yes.

You have no other options, right?

STUDIO JUPITET

The results aren't out yet…

FOR JAPANESE-KOREAN COUPLES

JAPANESE BOYFRIENDS AND KOREAN GIRLFRIENDS

HOW TO MAKE UP FAST

- Welcome back. - Hey.

Are you going to sleep already?

I'm a little tired.

Okay. It was a long day, after all.

Good night.

Good night.

TANOMI

What? Where's Mr. Hase today?

Oh, he took today and tomorrow off.

He's on a trip with his girlfriend.

Oh, a trip? How nice.

It's Rin's something-list.

- Bucket list. - Yeah, that.

One of the items on her list of things to do before she dies

was to drink ramune at a hot spring.

What? Mr. Hase is such a nice boyfriend!

Here.

Noa, do you have anything you want to do before you die?

‪What?

I've never thought about it.

I got a lot of good feedback on this.

As soon as I posted it on our social media I got reservations from foreigners.

‪Oh!

Really?

If I update the menu, can I ask you again?

Sure. It didn't take long anyway.

Okay.

A bucket list, huh?

But I've already done everything that I've wanted to do.

As expected.

I would rather

list all the things that I regret, and remove each one.

Then what is your number one regret?

I should've divorced earlier.

I see.

What about you?

If you could go back in time just once,

and remove just one regret off your list, what would you do?

Let's see…

I think

you should hurry up and move on to the next chapter of your life.

Taiga, what do you want to do?

I can't make a decision that easily.

I've dedicated more than half of my life to track.

But in the end, you'll spend most of your life not doing track.

You have to plan for your life after graduation.

You wouldn't understand, Masumi.

I guess my biggest regret

is that I hurt my ex-boyfriend.

I contradicted myself.

At first, I liked him

because he was so unbelievably determined to chase his dream.

But in the end, I broke up with him because "he wouldn't face reality."

Do you still have feelings for him,

or do you just feel regretful that you couldn't be kind?

TAIGA, HOW IS IT GOING?

IF YOU'RE IN NUMAZU, I RECOMMEND THIS SPOT.

Excuse me.

Go ahead.

They're really… amazing.

Their themes and motifs are all so unique.

It's so entertaining.

Is that right?

That reminds me…

If you had an infinite amount of time and money,

what would you like to create?

What is the message you want to convey through this piece?

Rin?

Are you okay?

Sorry… I need to go to the bathroom.

Thanks for waiting.

Rin.

Look at this.

You haven't been smiling at all.

Have you noticed?

If this is how it's going to be until the end of the trip

we can't enjoy it.

What are you thinking right now?

Whatever it is, just tell me.

What's wrong?

TAIGA, HOW IS IT GOING?

IF YOU'RE IN NUMAZU, I RECOMMEND THIS SPOT.

This is…

not about work, is it?

No, look at the rest of it.

She's just researching things for catering--

It's impossible to differentiate between what's work and what's not.

Even if it's about work,

why would she message you while you're on vacation?

I get it. Let's go back to the inn for now.

Rin.

Taiga,

you care more about what others think than how I feel, even at a time like this.

That's not true.

More like, I thought we settled the issue about Ms. Miyauchi.

But when things like this happen, I can't help but worry.

Try to understand my feelings--

Come on, already.

Am I that untrustworthy to you?

Well,

try to have some trust in him.

One day, Aki will find honest work.

I wonder.

Apparently, he is thinking about it, but who knows…

Oh?

Hyeongnim!

Dongsaeng!

The bond between brothers is incredible, isn't it?

So, what were you talking about?

Noa…

felt that way about me, huh?

I'm so pathetic.

That's not true, Aki.

But I…

love Noa.

The love I have for her in my heart

is stronger than anybody else and I know it.

I understand.

It's all about the heart.

As long as you have love, it will work out.

I am on your side, until I die.

Hyeongnim…

Dongsaeng.

Hyeongnim!

Rin?

UNFORTUNATELY, WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING YOUR APPLICATION AT THIS TIME.

You can try again.

Again?

When?

This was my last chance

to prove to eomma…

Prove what to your mother?

She has been telling me to work as an instructor in Korea

after I graduate.

I thought that I could prove myself to eomma if I got into a studio.

Why didn't you tell me any of this?

Because you…

are moving forward, one step at a time.

While I don't even know what I want to create.

I was too ashamed.

It's nothing to be ashamed about.

But Rin…

You said it was to prove yourself to your mother, right?

I don't know,

but I feel like that shouldn't be your goal.

What do you want to do?

I don't know.

I want to become an animator,

but nothing is working out.

But I don't want to give up and go back to Korea either.

I want to believe in my talent and challenge myself.

But nothing is working…

Taiga, what about you?

‪What?

Where is our relationship headed?

In the end…

it's your choice.

I want to respect your decision the most.

You're fine with that, Taiga?

‪What?

Why are you like that?

Just think about it.

If, let's say,

you decided to go back to Korea…

I don't have any right to stop you.

Isn't that right?

Then how can you

call yourself my boyfriend?

What do you mean?

Don't you understand?

All I wanted was for you to say

that I belonged here.

That I could stay here.

I wish you would've accepted me, even just for a second.

Why don't you get it?

Sorry. I can't keep up with you.

It's too difficult for me.

I can't anymore…

Let's break up.

The reason we broke up was not because of his ex-girlfriend,

nor because of our upbringing, personalities, or timing.

In the end, our will wasn't strong enough.

Our will to stay with each other until the end, no matter what.

If I had gone back to Taiga at that time…

I wonder if things would have been different for us?

- Welcome. - Good work.

I like you.
