Then is it okay if I like you?

Uh…

I think we should turn this off.

I didn't mean that…

I didn't mean that, either.

My grandmother kept talking about us dating,

so I was just…

trying to stop that in advance since you might feel uneasy.

That's all.

That's really it?

Should there be something else?

I'll start driving, then.

EPISODE 5

GYEONGJU

The cold is expected to arrive earlier this year than usual.

The first snow may fall sooner than average as well.

The continental high-pressure system--

It would be a shame to just leave.

Can you pull over?

Wow. It would've been a huge shame if we'd just left.

I hate snow.

Especially the first snow.

The first snow?

Remember what I told you about my parents?

The accident happened on the first snowfall.

So it became an unlucky day for me.

Mmm.

I know it's a lame jinx, though.

Then I'll start hating the first snow, too.

Oh, um…

I have a habit of copying other people.

I'm not sure if it's okay to ask this,

but when I talked about my mom's voice…

you said there's someone you miss.

That was your mother, right?

Your grandmother told me.

I was surprised when you spoke like you experienced the same thing.

Uh…

Croissant.

Croissant?

The pastry?

The crescent moon.

It's "croissant" in French.

Don't you crave croissants when you see the crescent moon?

Anyway, your grandmother said--

What about the half-moon?

Omurice!

And the full moon?

It's pizza. Huh?

Was it just me, then?

I'm craving pizza.

Ben, we're here.

Are they not here yet?

Surprise!

- How have you been? - I'm good, I'm good.

- It's great to see you here in Korea. - Me too.

Let me quickly introduce her.

Guys, this is designer Haran Song.

Uh… Nice to meet you.

I'm Peter. Uh…

- It's so great to meet you. - Hi, nice to meet you.

- This is my team. - Nice to meet you. Hi.

Nice to meet you.

We're going to spend the morning taking in the scenery,

visiting some historic sites,

and then we will head over to Yangdong Village.

So on page 3, there's more information about Yangdong Village.

So as you can see, there's a big tree. This tree is more than 500 years old.

It's really famous.

So his father sent him to America,

and he suffered there.

"Something terrible"?

What happened in the US?

Why won't he tell me about himself?

That's a great idea. Let's use that tree.

It's famous in Yangdong.

Ms. Song, about the materials you sent over…

Yes.

It's pretty decorative, right?

We'll turn it into a pattern.

Why am I someone you shouldn't like?

IN YOUR RADIANT SEASON

Oh?

What are you doing?

Oh. Playing a game to pick the driver.

You saw our team, right?

They're all mischievous.

Did you lose?

- Then I'll drive-- - I'm the king of games.

I won, of course.

We're here!

Hey, Sol!

Why are you alone?

Raemee is here!

Gosh, I just realized on the way here how beautiful Gyeongju is.

It's totally my style.

It seems like you're moving here.

I need this much luggage at least to dress for the occasion.

Don't play dumb!

- We're here, too. - Me too.

Okay, everybody's here. We'll leave in 10 minutes. Okay, guys?

Let's lie down!

This is so nice.

HWANGNIDAN STREET GYEONGJU BREAD

Yes, Ms. Kim.

Seeing it in person,

I think we should emphasize the Korean elements a bit more.

Then I'll come up with another sketch with that in mind.

All right.

This is pretty tough.

Aren't you tired? It's a tough schedule, isn't it?

It's okay.

Everyone seems excited, though.

You seem like friends rather than colleagues.

We weren't this close, but after Too Much joined us…

You didn't join at the same time?

Too Much is several years my junior. At school and at work.

He joined this field pretty late.

Oh. Then he studied something else before animation?

I don't know, either.

He never tells me what he did before entering CalArts.

It's like he erased it.

Erasing his time…

Are you two badmouthing me?

You caught us!

I'm fleeing!

You badmouthed me, didn't you?

- No, we didn't. - I think you did.

Did you sketch something?

- Oh… Yes. Do you want to see? - Sure.

Wow.

Your grandmother said you didn't draw for a while.

How did you end up drawing again?

I'm curious.

Was there a special reason?

Oh. Hmm…

I'd like a ticket

for the earliest departure anywhere except the US.

Hi, where are you from?

Well, anyway… Enjoy Florence.

THINGS TO GET RID OF: THE PAST THINGS TO DO FROM NOW ON

THINGS I WANT TO DO FROM NOW ON

DRAW

I just…

didn't want to live like a corpse.

A corpse?

Doesn't it feel like we time-traveled?

This tree is over 500 years old.

Mmm.

If you can time travel, when do you want to return to?

Mmm… I don't want to go back.

I don't have a past I want to return to.

Doesn't everyone have a certain moment, though?

You never know when you'll die.

You should enjoy your life instead of regretting the past,

so you won't feel upset later.

Mmm.

Maybe it's that free trial.

I do feel kind of excited these days.

We went to the Hangang River, made pottery,

and came here.

You're doing great.

Keep enjoying your life like this every day,

even when…

I'm not here later.

Oh? You changed your outfit.

You weren't wearing that earlier. Why did you change?

Oh… I just bought it while doing some trend research.

That's strange. It really isn't your style.

It looks like you picked it out in a hurry.

Did I miss some kind of new trend?

- Or-- - Shut up.

You're so talkative.

I'm just curious about you.

This is my way of expressing love and affection.

I'll just go meet Cha Min.

What's this awkward silence?

Say something, Hayeong.

You're usually talkative. It'll seem like he's making you nervous.

Just tease him or something, like you usually do.

- Is there something wrong? - What?

You seem quieter than usual.

Do you think

I'm always… just chatting loudly?

That's not what I meant.

Sorry.

But aren't you getting off?

Right. I am.

Be careful.

Hey, Manjae.

Did you move or something?

You said you'd drop by sometime, but you never came.

Sorry, I've been pretty busy.

Why don't I drop by after work today?

Sure. Come and see Genius, too.

Okay. I'll see you later.

Hey, it's Yougyum.

What?

He just came out of a jewelry shop.

I bet he bought matching rings.

You're so lucky, Hadam.

Matching rings?

Thank you for the food!

Try this one, try this one.

Yummy. This is amazing.

I'll eat those for you.

The snot and neon aliens.

Thanks.

Don't you guys think that Yangdong Village was just so gorgeous?

It was really unique, don't you think?

I totally agree. It kind of felt like it was timeless.

Actually, I think it feels even better than the photo. Right?

Yeah, it's so beautiful.

But do you know the scene where Won first goes back to the past?

Uh… Maybe we can make that moment a little bit deeper. Do you guys agree?

Maybe that's exactly what we should do, yeah.

Awesome.

- Okay, then… Mmm. - Let's do it.

Thank you so much. Let's just eat first.

All together. One, two, three!

The ocean!

Wait!

No, wait! Hey, Raemee!

I can't even decide on a concept.

You there, who's mulling over pens.

Do you want to go see the sea cave to clear your head?

Nice timing.

I needed a reason to take a break.

Oh, right.

I never told you that, though.

I told you I don't eat oysters,

but I never told you eggplants seemed like neon aliens.

I'll eat those for you.

The snot and neon aliens.

It's neon-colored. Yuck!

The taste of a neon alien.

Uh…

No, how else would you know?

I guess I told you.

Sorry, I must've forgotten.

Is it this way?

What are you doing?

Don't you want to ride a plane when you see a vapor trail?

I actually rode one after seeing one.

I went to meet the person who gave me that fountain pen I lost.

I used to work at a different company,

and he was the brother of my team leader who really cared for me.

But soon after we started dating, he went to Boston to study.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Kang Hyeokchan.

I'm glad you're Korean, too.

I hope we get along.

Are you okay?

Are you all right? You've gone pale.

If I'm not okay, will you carry me?

Are you seriously joking right now?

Are you sure you're okay?

I'll be okay.

It's all going to be okay.

- Yougyum! - Hey, Hadam.

My academy ends at 9:00 p.m. Should we meet after?

What?

Did we plan to meet today?

Mmm…

No, but I think you have a reason to meet me later.

I don't.

Why don't you spend some time with your grandma--

Why are you suddenly bringing up my grandma?

What?

Oh… Well…

Hey, Changmo!

I have something urgent to discuss with Changmo, so I have to go.

Hey, Changmo!

What? Changmo isn't even there.

He should hurry up and give me the ring.

Unfortunately, it seems like he gave the ring to Han Sora.

She didn't have that a few days ago.

But she was wearing this in her recent feed.

Don't be ridiculous.

If a girl group trainee with her looks hits on him,

he could easily fall for her.

That's nonsense.

GUARDIAN

I wanted to give you this.

It finally found its owner after over 50 years.

What? "La Vie en rose"?

This is my favorite song.

But what did you mean by this finding its owner?

You were humming that song all the time when we lived in Chuncheon.

I played it with the harmonica, too.

Right.

I remember.

After I went to college in Seoul

and heard you got accepted to a medical school the next year,

I went to Chuncheon to give you this.

I waited by the tree where we always hung out,

but you never showed.

You waited for me?

It snowed like crazy that day.

I almost became a snowman waiting for you there.

I only heard the news later on.

The news that I ran off with my tuition and hopped on a flight to Paris?

Yes!

I didn't get to give you this record, so I just listened to it.

It was so nice.

That's how I got obsessed and started collecting vinyls.

And this is the result.

It's all your fault, Kim Nabong.

Is that so?

We were dazzling back then.

It's nice seeing you again.

I'd been so busy pushing forward that I'd forgotten about our old hometown.

I agree.

Instead of just reminiscing,

why don't we visit Chuncheon sometime?

Chuncheon?

Aren't you curious whether that tree is still there

and how much our neighborhood has changed?

Right.

All right, let's go there sometime.

Okay. Let's do that.

Lab, glass tube, blood…

Whose blood?

Yes, Ms. Kim.

Je Raemee sent his design?

Oh. Sorry, I haven't sketched anything yet.

If you don't want to suffer again because of your past,

it would be best to keep a distance from her.

Did something else happen

besides the explosion?

Hurry up. Why are you so slow?

Sorry.

All right, everybody. Let's head back and get some rest.

Yeah, let's go.

We'll see you later.

Oh? Where's Ms. Song?

- Huh? - What? Weren't you with her?

You were hanging out the whole time.

She said she forgot her scarf. She went to get it.

Goodness. She's a klutz sometimes.

Oh, uh…

I'll go and get her. You go ahead.

Ms. Song!

Ms. Song!

Song Haran!

Oh?

Why were you--

Why are you so fast?

I…

I thought I'd left this here,

but I found it in my pocket and headed down.

But then I heard you went to find me.

I kept calling, but you wouldn't answer.

I'm sorry.

I guess I didn't hear it over the rain.

I should've been more careful.

You're always apologizing.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Let's get out of the rain.

Over there.

Sit down.

Oh. Thanks.

Are you hurt?

No, it's nothing.

You shouldn't climb with your shoelaces so loose.

Your feet must have hurt a lot.

Hey, it's dirty.

Tell me if it keeps hurting.

I'll carry you if I have to.

I can't hear on this side.

So his father sent him to America,

and he suffered there.

To be honest, I'm curious.

About what?

About what I heard from your grandmother.

I want to know what happened in America,

what you meant by being trapped in winter,

and who freed you from it.

I'm getting more comfortable around you,

and I've been telling you things about myself,

but…

you don't seem to be telling me much about yourself.

I started studying animation six years ago.

I worked my butt off and graduated early

then entered my current company as a character designer.

I became a supervisor by luck

since Won was a Korean character.

I commute by bike

since the office is a 10-minute ride from home.

You met my teammates, right?

Everyone's really close.

- And-- - Wait.

- What are you talking about? - I'm sorry,

but I'll use it now.

You said it's okay to keep some secrets to yourself.

You tell me a secret too next time.

We can keep big secrets to ourselves.

Just a small one.

I'll tell you everything about the present…

but I'll use that card…

for my past.

Sorry.

Ah…

Oh, no.

I guess I was being really rude.

Right, we agreed to do a three-month trial,

but I was prying too much.

I was being selfish. I'm so sorry.

This looks so delicious.

- Thank you. - Yeah, no problem.

The staff prepared this since the costume team is leaving tomorrow.

- Thank you. - That's so nice.

I'm so touched.

Do we seriously have to leave this behind

and return to Seoul?

I can't leave!

Since this is our last night,

let us all have a drink.

Everyone… Cheers!

Cheers!

- Numbers game! One! - Two!

It's my first time seeing her drink.

Wait, stop. I have to film this.

Can you drink like a beer model?

No…

Why are you so pretty?

Why are you suddenly so serious? It doesn't suit you.

Ben.

Hiding something

and not telling the truth

is the same as lying, right?

That's so random.

Hide what, though?

You mean like how Aladdin hid the fact that he was a petty thief?

I guess it's similar.

It's just…

The other person is being honest with me,

but if I keep…

hiding things

and never being honest,

what will happen in the end?

Ah.

Do you remember?

What the genie says to Aladdin when he says

he wants to keep pretending to be a prince?

Mmm.

The more you gain with deception,

the less you can truly gain.

That's right.

It may seem like you're gaining something now,

but you'll probably end up paying the price for it.

Paying the price…

What are you doing here alone?

I'm trying to sober up so I can drink more.

It's been a while since I drank.

You're a heavy drinker.

How's your foot?

You hurt yourself because of Grandma's scarf.

I'm okay.

Look, aren't they pretty?

Maybe it's because I lost the pen I used for seven years,

but I couldn't sketch anything during the two days here.

Maybe it's because I couldn't stop thinking about it.

I've been so distracted lately.

Until now, I thought that pen was special because of the person who gifted it to me.

But I'm not so sure now.

Maybe I just feel strange

because I lost something my hand had gotten used to

after all those years.

The person who gave me that pen died.

I guess that's why I was so attached to it.

Not long ago,

I would have done anything I could to avoid coming here.

But this time,

I had quite a lot of fun.

Like I was on a spring picnic.

I guess we have grown quite close,

seeing how I'm telling you things I'm not okay with.

You know we're not real friends if we're always pretending to be okay.

Thank you for asking to be friends

and for knocking on my door.

You made me stop hiding,

and you made me able to tell you sad things, too.

Stop thanking me. I didn't do anything.

Thank you.

I just feel like pouring my heart out today.

I really am grateful.

Can I borrow that for a moment?

- This? - Yes.

Odd or even?

That's so random.

Is there a prize if I guess right?

If you guess right,

I'll tell you everything.

I feel like

telling you everything today, too.

- Tell me what? - I think I should stop

hiding things about myself.

Oh…

If it's because of what I said, you don't have to--

Odd or even?

Odd.

Odd.

Who keeps messaging?

It's me.

I'm uploading our photos to our group chat.

Oh…

- Mmm. - Hi, Hayeong. Did you see…

What?

I'm not sure…

if I have the right to tell you

about myself.

To be honest…

I'm scared.

You asked me what happened in America.

I…

was actually…

in Boston, attending…

Haran's a total lightweight.

She can't drink a single drop.

Don't let her drink anything.

- Stop! - She can't drink at all!

- Wait! - Ms. Song!

Hey. Sorry, Haran.

That song?

Okay, I'll listen to it.

Can you message her back?

Sorry. Do me a solid.

Anything that a woman in her twenties can use.

I have to go to the hospital because of my hand.

Sorry.

- Thanks, Chan. - Who's that? Your friend?

No, just my roommate.

Sorry, Ran. My professor's calling.

I'll call you back later.

Sujin. You're here?

I'll head out now.

I'll be away for a few weeks.

I'm traveling around the East Coast during vacation.

If our professor asks for me, say I'm taking a break because of my hand.

Getting close to someone is really difficult…

No, it's scary for me.

It's all thanks to this pen.

It's really valuable to me, so I have to find it.

Chan, I saw a vapor trail earlier.

But that made me want to get on a plane to go see you.

Whether you're a guy or not, I don't want to get close.

It's morning?

Hey. You spoke as if you were a heavy drinker,

but you passed out right away.

I don't usually pass out after drinking like that,

but the alcohol tasted really good.

Maybe it was because the weather was so nice.

Hey, Sujin.

It's okay to be a lightweight.

Why are you looking at me with pity?

No, I'm not looking at you that way.

You are. You just looked at me like I was a lost puppy.

Hmm.

It's pitiful that you're waiting for your old owner.

I should be good to you so you won't remember them.

Is that how I looked at you?

No need to say it like that…

Let's go. Oh.

- Bring your jacket. - Where are we going?

A hangover cure walk?

If walking cured hangovers, hangover soup places would close down.

But when exactly did I pass out?

Don't you remember?

This.

Right. Odd or even.

I should have said odd. Why did I guess even?

- You didn't… - Let's just say I did.

There's no need to know everything.

Still…

You used your card so you wouldn't have to tell me.

It must have been something bad.

I don't want to force you to talk about it.

There's no need to dig into your scars to learn more about you.

And even if I don't know about it,

we're already quite close, right?

Oh, right.

Here.

Honey water.

Hangover medicine, hangover drink,

roasted eggs, and…

They must have been really kind to you.

Who?

The person who showed you a way to keep going.

The one who kept reaching out.

I just wondered if you're so sweet to other people

because you learned it from them.

How should I say it…

I'm no match.

This is nothing compared to what I received.

I received something so incredible

that I could never repay her.

Was it your girlfriend?

No, of course not. I wouldn't dare.

It wasn't like that. Mmm…

She was just…

someone who broadened my world.

Broadened your world?

Yes.

She let me experience things

that I couldn't see or feel before.

My world used to be black and white, but she…

filled it with vibrant colors.

Right. High five!

I have a habit of doing high fives when I'm grateful.

You're grateful? All of a sudden?

I found the answer.

My choice was filled with question marks,

but you just changed them to exclamation marks.

Your choice?

I chose never to do anything

that might get in the way of her happiness.

Thanks to you, I just realized

that not digging up old wounds is also a way…

of protecting their happiness.

That's why I'm asking

for a high five.

Well, I have no idea what you're talking about,

but since you say I helped…

Two green onions…

Three green onions…

Isn't that for your hangover?

Why are you making art instead of eating it?

I may be friendly with everyone, but not green onions…

What? Hang on.

Mmm.

He picked out the green onions for me.

How did he know I don't eat green onions?

Green onions… What does that mean?

Did he flirt with green onions?

I'm heading out now.

Right, the tonics.

I should take a tonic that Mr. Yeon gave me.

- Huh? - Oh.

I should take the vitamins that Mr. Yeon got me.

- What? - He seemed a bit reserved,

but he takes care of our whole family.

He's so thoughtful.

- I'll get going now. - See you.

Okay.

Grandma.

Did Mr. Yeon always take care of everyone like this?

What's the point of having you three?

Mr. Yeon's the only one who takes care of me.

Geez.

I was overreacting for no reason.

Gosh, that's hot.

- Great work. - Great work, everyone.

- Thank you. - Great work.

Thank you for everything.

I'll see you in Seoul.

Okay. I'll see you in 10 days.

Oh. That's a day for pizza.

How about pizza that day?

- Is it a full moon? - Mmm.

Sure, pizza sounds good.

And here.

For the hangover stuff you gave me.

HANG IN THERE!

I also have…

this.

Hmm?

Homework.

A film camera?

What kind of homework?

Well…

Ms. Song, hurry.

Come on.

Hurry!

It would be a huge waste not to see that.

Wow, it's beautiful.

It's called an iridescent cloud.

An iridescent cloud?

We also call them mother-of-pearl clouds.

Because of the diffraction of sunlight, the cloud particles…

Forget it.

It's a good omen.

They say you have good luck if you see an iridescent cloud.

That's childish.

Do people say it's lucky?

Wait, it's blurry.

You should look for iridescent clouds in the sky, too,

instead of just vapor trails.

Vapor trails are just traces of something that already passed by.

But iridescent clouds make you excited for the future.

The past…

may not be as beautiful as you remember.

They get blurred, overwritten, and distorted.

Or they may have been romanticized because some things…

were hidden.

Why are you suddenly saying that?

I was just…

worried that you'd miss an iridescent cloud

while staring at a vapor trail.

I have a habit of feeling upset if I miss something exciting

while thinking about the past.

All right, everybody. Come here!

- Ending a trip… - With a group photo…

...is a must!

Let's go.

All right. Here goes.

Hurry.

Okay, everyone. What's one plus one?

- Two! - Two!

But what sort of homework is this?

Take one photo each day

and show them to me when I return to Seoul.

Isn't it crazy, though?

How did they know I'm leaving in 10 days

and sell a 10-shot camera?

What should I take photos of?

Something fun, delicious, or pretty.

Just anything that made you feel good that day.

Hang in there!

- I'd like some coffee. - It's on me, so help yourselves!

- This is so good! - I got us some coffee.

What's with the coffee?

I heard Je Raemee was bringing Gyeongju bread today.

I thought it would go well with coffee.

Can I have one?

Wasn't Gyeongju amazing?

There were so many things to see and eat, and the beach was so beautiful…

What is it?

We've never seen you talk for so long about something other than work.

It's the first time since I joined.

Let's start working, then.

She's suddenly acting so friendly.

Well, she's not tinting her windows or brooding like before.

I guess she's a tiny bit… better than before.

Hello.

Wow. You and sweet and sour candy?

That really doesn't suit you.

Ah. I guess you're giving it to someone.

Pardon?

Would you like one?

Sure.

I'll try one, then.

Thank you.

Hello.

I'm Yeon Taeseok from Seoul Commercial High School.

Mr. Yeon Taeseok.

Even your name sounds proper.

But you said hello to the wrong person.

Oh… Sorry.

No need to apologize.

Wow. You're sweating a lot.

Ah.

Would you like one?

The sour taste will snap you awake,

and the sweet taste will help you relax.

Eat that to relax your nerves.

Thank you.

And…

There's a piece of tissue here.

Then good luck.

- You can do it. - Right.

I tried to get some pocket money from Grandma but got a noogie.

Mr. Yeon Taeseok, Ms. Kim will see you now.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'll be right back.

Hadam!

Are you going to your math academy?

What is it?

You look worried about something.

What is it? Tell your boyfriend everything.

Yougyum.

Did you go to a jewelry shop a few days ago…

Hey, Yougyum!

Enough with the PDA and get back here. We have to practice.

Go on. We'll talk later.

I'll call you later.

If anything is bothering you, tell me. I'll take care of everything…

I mean, everything besides studying.

All right.

Hang in there!

Park Yeseul…

Why did she have to bring up Han Sora?

CHA YOUGYUM

SORA

Yes, Ms. Kim.

The revised sketch?

No. I'll hand it in by today.

Okay.

I really need an idea. Please…

I'm sending you a photo since you said yours was blurry.

Ms. Song, the material check…

What happened to your hair?

Whoa. What's that? The colors are amazing.

I saw it for the first time in Gyeongju. It's called an iridescent cloud.

It's a cloud?

Wow. It looks like a rainbow.

They call it a rainbow cloud, too.

It's also called a mother-of-pearl cloud…

because of the color…

- Oh. Can you get my rolling cart? - What?

Right.

Here's the revised outfit design.

Sorry, I'm late.

It wasn't just a simple revision.

The color was important, so I made a colored illustration.

That's a color palette I haven't seen before.

I applied mother-of-pearl colors on the basic silhouette.

Mother-of-pearl…

- As in shiny seashells? - Yes.

I thought it could be a great material to highlight a Korean aesthetic.

For now, I just expressed the general vibe with gloss pens,

but if we can capture the texture of mother-of-pearl

so it has a mysterious glow whenever she moves,

I think that would add some fun to the animation as well.

Well…

Not bad.

Mother-of-pearl is normally used for decorations.

How did you come up with the idea of using its colors?

Oh…

This is an iridescent cloud I saw in Gyeongju.

This photo became a great inspiration.

I heard it's also called a mother-of-pearl cloud

because of its colors.

Mmm.

It will go well with Raemee's idea of emphasizing the collar and front panel.

So that trip wasn't for nothing.

You can go.

Okay.

She won't need me anymore.

Hmm?

My sketch finally got accepted.

Huh? Wait.

Was this inspired by that iridescent cloud?

That's right. You said it's also called a mother-of-pearl cloud.

It's all thanks to you. I'll treat you to 10 pizzas.

Let's see…

Mmm…

They say you have good luck if you see an iridescent cloud.

He was right.

It worked out thanks to him.

The cloud you saw in Gyeongju?

Why do I feel like I know who you saw it with?

What?

The Haran before wasn't my style, so she was about 0.5 points,

but the new Song Haran after our Gyeongju trip… Tsk.

Right, I'll give you three points.

Fine. I'll give you 3.5.

- Excuse me? - Don't get too excited.

My points…

are out of 10.

All right.

Didn't I tell you to stop coming?

It's grated yam.

I did some research, and they said it helps.

I'm already taking good care of myself.

Just focus on baseball.

I'm practicing really hard too, you know.

But what about that examination you mentioned last time?

It's next week.

Are you getting along well with Hadam?

Why aren't you talking about marriage anymore?

I decided to support her quietly until the CSAT so I wouldn't distract her.

Have you been wearing that necklace I gave you?

If it's not the right length, I can…

GUARDIAN

You're just a student. Where did you get the money?

I'm a future Major Leaguer, you know.

Gosh. I should get an autograph in advance.

Huh? Did you hit your leg somewhere?

It's fine. I just fell.

My legs suddenly wouldn't listen.

You have to make sure Hadam doesn't find out until the CSAT.

Okay. I'll take good care of her.

- Hello? - Are you free next next Friday at 7 p.m.?

Next next Friday?

- Well, yes… - Okay.

Then let's have dinner at Samcheong-dong.

Samcheong-dong?

It's a one-table restaurant I booked before coming to Korea.

Maybe it's thanks to that cloud.

There was a long waitlist,

but I just got a call that someone canceled for that day.

- Mmm. - I'll send you the link.

I haven't seen this place before.

I confirmed the reservation.

Ah. Mark that on your schedule.

You'd better not forget or show up late.

I got distracted.

Good morning. Did you sleep well?

Our team did a sunrise shoot, so everyone's knocked out now.

Hey, a flower bloomed.

But why aren't you sleeping? Aren't you tired?

I have to enjoy every moment.

Ah. There's a beautiful half-moon.

Can you see it clearly in Seoul?

Yes, I can.

So today's dinner is omurice.

Donggu?

- Hello. - Hi.

What did you draw that character on Donggu's uniform with?

A fabric marker?

That's right.

Right. Mr. Park's checkup is on Wednesday.

Can you check up on him?

Mr. Park.

Hey, you're here.

Genius.

You didn't forget your checkup, right?

There's someone calling me every day to remind me,

so I remember it more clearly than my own birthday.

But have you started a new hobby?

You've been taking a lot of photos.

Ah. Someone gave me homework,

telling me to take photos of what makes me happy.

Mmm. So what did you take photos of?

Nothing special.

Just people around me,

the moon, delicious food,

that flower… Things like that.

Oh.

I'm so curious how they'll look.

They say happiness is always there, but you just miss it,

so it belongs to the person who discovers it.

I guess it's true.

I went on a walk with Genius earlier,

and the sky was so beautiful.

But no one even looked up.

They were all walking around, staring at their phones.

I have a feeling

that the person who gave you that camera…

...is someone who knows how to look up at the sky

on days like this.

I guess that's why they gave you that homework.

So you can discover nice things every day, no matter how trivial they are.

They probably wanted you to smile at least once while doing so.

Isn't that right?

Mr. Park, I think I get it now.

What?

I was surprised at how different I was these days, but I didn't know why.

I guess that's because it's been such a long time since I saw it.

Saw what?

Myself.

My past self.

I used to be able to find happiness in the smallest things.

It's been a while since I saw that side of me.

I was able to see it again thanks to someone.

I guess that's why I was surprised.

Mmm.

Oh, my.

The moon is beautiful.

I hope I can see a full moon soon.

Where can I find a photo studio?

Remember, we're stopping at the rest area halfway, okay?

- Okay. - See you later, bro!

- Okay. See you guys. - Drive safely. See you.

Sorry, Ben.

Take a different car.

I'm going straight to Seoul.

But it's at least four hours.

- Bye. - Hey, don't strain yourself.

I'll drive.

Huh? I said I'll drive.

It's fine. I'll see you in Seoul.

- Hey! - I'm fine, Ben.

Seonu Chan! Drive slowly, okay?

He really shouldn't be driving.

I'll arrive around 6:30 p.m.

Find a nice pizza place for us.

See you later.

ETA 1 HOUR

One hour.

Oh? Has he arrived early?

- Yes, Ms. Kim. - Come to my office.

18:04 MS. KIM

Right now?

Me?

Yes, you. Who else?

Why would you make me handle the business?

I'm retiring later than planned, and you held on longer than I thought.

It's time you took over.

I didn't get to go at 60 as I planned,

but I'm going to retire soon and go to France.

So start preparing.

No, I can't do this.

I'm already overwhelmed with doing design, and I'm not qualified…

You'll develop your abilities.

And that was an order, not an offer.

I'm not making excuses, I--

You don't have a choice.

If you really can't do it, then quit.

I raise people for their abilities, not with sentiment.

I'll give you…

a week for that report.

This is so sudden…

MISSED CALL ANIMATOR SEONU CHAN

The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please leave--

Why is it off?

Call me when you get my message.

I couldn't react properly…

Was he driving here?

- Mr. Park, did you hear from Mr. Seonu? - Oh?

I guess you haven't heard yet.

I got a call.

What call?

He suddenly had to return to America.

He had to head straight to the airport,

so he asked me to send his passport through express delivery.

I don't know what's going on, either.

He said he'd call me again soon, but he hasn't called.

What…

- I… - He would have left already.

He said he'd take the earliest flight to the US.

He must be gone already.

MISSED CALL ANIMATOR SEONU CHAN

YOUR PHOTOS ARE READY FOR PICKUP

HOBAK PHOTO STUDIO

What? He said there were 10 shots.

He was lying.

Keep enjoying your life

even when… I'm not here later.

IN YOUR RADIANT SEASON

They are all gone?

What kind of trial ends like this?

- Ms. Kim! - Why did you go to the hospital?

Are you sick?

I just want to walk for a bit.

Chan was such a nice guy.

When we first met,

he said I looked like someone trapped in winter.

You're not worried about Haran?

Do you regret it?

Do you regret getting close to Seonu Chan?

Yes, I do.
