[Let's Drink]

[Episode 12]

Let's just be calm.

I made things clear for him yesterday, so I'm sure Premium Trash got the message.

Ms. No Geu Rae!

Please, get in.

What are you doing here, Professor Jin?

What do you mean?

I came here because I wanted us to head to work together.

You read the text I sent you yesterday, though.

Yes. I read it, which is why I'm acting like this.

Let's talk about the details on the way to work.

- Please, get in. - No, I'd prefer not to.

Don't be like that and get in.

I told you no!

Ms. No Geu Rae!

Hey, No Geu Rae!

I told him to his face this time, so I'm sure he gets it now.

Ms. No Geu Rae!

Here. I got this top-quality Americano coffee just for you.

Let's have some on the terrace and chat for a bit.

No. I don't have anything left to say.

Must you be so cold, Ms. No Geu Rae?

Didn't you tell me that you liked me?

Or is that not true?

I did like you.

But I decided that it'd be best if I forgot about you.

So... I'd like it if you didn't bring that up anymore.

I know that you're doing this because I hurt you.

And that's why I'm trying so hard to make you feel better about that.

It's no use, so stop trying.

Wow, that No Geu Rae sure has an iron will.

Wait, no. This is understandable. I was mean to her.

Surely, this gesture isn't enough to make her feel better.

Let's try harder! Yeah!

Oh, Professor Jin.

What are you doing here?

Oh, isn't that coffee? And two cups at that?

Who were you planning to give that to? Is it me, by any chance?

- Go ahead. - Okay!

You can take both.

Oh, really? I can have both?

Wow. Thanks! Thanks a ton!

What's this all of a sudden? This isn't like him.

Aren't you having seaweed soup? It's your birthday, after all.

What?

How did you know that it's my birthday?

Huh? Oh, I just heard from somewhere.

"Just heard from somewhere"?

Anyway, you should buy dinner. You need to have a party, after all.

Are you out of your mind?

I'm not even having a birthday party with my friends

so why would I have it with you of all people?

I was just trying to take this opportunity to slack off, is all!

But you're not even going to have a party with your friends?

You don't have any friends who'd throw a--

No, I don't.

It's been a while since I've called them, since I'm focusing on studying.

Also, why would a person studying for exams care about their own birthday?

As if we have that kind of luxury.

If you celebrate all those things and play as much as you want

when are you ever going to get around to studying?

So you're going to spend this once-a-year occasion studying?

You should have a party at the very least!

No thanks.

Stop thinking of ways to slack off

and study if you came all the way to Noryangjin to do so.

It's Jung Chae Yeon's birthday today?

How'd you know?

Huh?

Well, um, I don't really care about this information

but I couldn't help overhear all the guys talking about it!

Geez.

Who cares about that damn girl's birthday?

And yet they're making such a fuss about it! Ugh!

It's so annoying!

Hey! You left your phone here!

Crazy bastard.

What's this?

[Tuesday, October 11th Jung Chae Yeon's Birthday]

[Jung Chae Yeon's Birthday: Alarm for 7 a.m., 8 a.m., 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m]

Geez. "Overheard," my ass.

He set an alarm for every hour in case he forgot!

He's the one who's making the biggest fuss about it!

We're heading out for lunch.

Oh, Professor Jin.

We're going out for lunch. Want to come with us?

Have you ever seen me eating lunch with anyone?

I know, but I have coupons for a Chinese-Korean restaurant.

And three of them, at that.

It'd be a waste for only the two of us to use them.

Can't Ms. No Geu Rae go with you then?

Ha Na says she has no appetite and doesn't want to eat.

Really?

Well, I don't have the biggest appetite right now either.

But I'm only eating so I don't waste away and die.

Man. I have no appetite lately and I'm not craving anything, either.

Maybe I'm going through menopause?

Come on, Director, let's go. Let's go and eat a ton, okay?

See you later.

Why is she starving herself?

Ms. No Geu Rae.

You haven't had lunch, right? Here, have some cake.

Um, no. No, thank you.

You have it, Professor Jin.

Don't be like that. Just try some.

This is top-quality handmade cheesecake, made with the finest Korean organic milk.

I went all the way to a hotel bakery to buy this for you.

I'm sorry. I don't have an appetite.

Oh... what's with the cheesecake?

What's this? Did you buy this for me because I said I have no appetite?

Oh my! How did you know that I absolutely love cheesecake?

Eat to your heart's content.

Oh, believe me, I will!

- Oh my gosh! - Look at this!

Thanks so, so much!

What's with Premium Trash? This isn't like him.

Didn't he give you coffee before, too?

I know, right? Why is he being so nice to me?

Today's not even my birthday.

This looks so good!

Wow, look at them having a great old time.

I didn't buy that for you people!

What do I need to do to make her stop giving me the cold shoulder?

This is the first time that I can't figure out an answer to something.

Are you okay, Gong Myung...

Yeah, I'll just leave him alone and let him rest.

Hey, Master.

What happened?

You got discharged?

Yeah. I just headed here from the hospital for class.

Is it okay for you to be out of the hospital already?

Shouldn't you get a bit more rest?

No, I'm totally fine.

I have to study hard starting today.

I'm going to head over to the lecture hall first.

Wow, Jung Chae Yeon.

I was just guessing, but does she really like Gong Myung?

Oh!

Looks like Jin Gong Myung has been revived!

Are you feeling okay?

Yeah. I'm totally fine.

Wait, why are you sitting all the way in the front?

Oh!

Are you sitting in the front because this is your beloved Professor Park's class?

So you can see her face up close? Huh?

Shut it.

Wow. It's love! Love, I tell you!

Shut up, already!

All right then. Let's start our class, shall we?

Today, we'll be looking at Hwang Jin Yi's poems.

As you all may know, Hwang Jin Yi wrote a lot of love poems.

Let's read "Long November Night," which appears in your textbook first.

All right.

I'd cut a piece from the waist Of the long long November night

And stash it under the warm blanket In the spring wind of my delight.

Wow. Jin Gong Myung's voice is so much louder than anyone else's.

See the look in his eyes?

People who are in love definitely have a different look in their eyes.

So "cut a piece from the waist and stash it under the warm blanket"

"And plan to spread it out on My sweetheart's homecoming night."

Yeah. People who are in love definitely have a different look in their eyes.

When analyzing this poem, the most important thing is

how certain abstract things may be allegories for political things.

The "Long November Night," which is an abstract concept...

Wow, people who are in love definitely have a different look in their eyes.

But why the hell is this love square so complicated?

How many parties are involved here anyway?

You can connect this to her strong longing for her lover.

If Professor Park liked Ki Bum, then... wow.

It'd be a perfectly complicated love square.

So Ki Bum is the only one nobody likes?

Pitiful bastard.

Teach!

Yeah, Gong Myung? Shouldn't you rest a bit more?

No, I'm fine. I'm totally okay.

- Are you really okay? - Yes.

Oh my!

Oh!

- Are you okay, Teach? - Yeah.

Hey, what the hell!

Oh, sorry. I'm sorry, Teach.

I tripped on something, you see.

You should be careful. See you two at the next lecture, then.

Bye.

You did that on purpose, didn't you?

Yep, I did.

You're totally thankful, right? You got to hug her thanks to me!

Are you in elementary school? You're so damn immature!

I want to cheer on your love no matter what is all!

I want to help the forbidden love between a teacher and a student come to fruition.

That's just how I feel.

Shut it. Damn it, you...

Why, you little!

He's in no position to be helping others when he's the only one not being loved.

Pitiful bastard.

What? You want me to lecture in Professor Min's time slot next week?

Yeah. I thought about it, and Professor Min hasn't made a mental recovery yet

so I don't think he'd be in the proper state to be lecturing next week.

So why don't you push your class up

and Professor Min can take your time slot next next week.

How about it?

No.

I will not lecture over 26 hours per week.

If I go over that, the quality of my lectures goes down.

Come on, don't be like that. Can't you just do it?

If a popular lecturer like you switches their time slot

the students won't complain about it too much, I think.

I told you, no!

Tell Professor Min to hurry up and get over it and come back to work.

What?

Why that... that Premium Trash!

You do it then, Professor Hwang.

What? Me?

Professor Park has to write the questions for the mock exam next week

so she'll be really busy.

No, I can't. I have a lot to do.

What are you talking about?

You don't even see your boyfriend that often anymore.

What are you talking about?

Stop waiting on a boyfriend who isn't even meeting up with you, okay?

Just take this chance and break up with him now.

And channel all your energy into work. Got it?

Okay. I'll obey your command.

I'll just break up with him and only focus on work! Happy now?

When did I ever "command you"?

That's not what I meant, Professor Hwang--

Damn that spinster!

I'll do it.

No, I'll do it.

No, that's not what I meant. I'll just do it. The lecture, I mean.

What? You will?

Yes.

Will you really be okay doing this, Professor Park?

Yes.

I'm sure you'll be really busy. It's your first time writing exam questions.

It's okay.

What's she saying "it's okay" about?

Oh, Professor Park said that she'd cover for Professor Min's time slot.

What?

Ms. No Geu Rae.

We need to talk.

Why did you say you'd cover for Professor Min's timeslot?

What do you mean why?

We're supposed to help each other when we're in need--

But you already have to prep the mock exam questions too!

Must you help others even if it means harming yourself?

What?

Noryangjin isn't the beautiful place that you believe it to be.

This is a battlefield, and you have to do your best to survive.

And you don't have the luxury of helping others on a battlefield!

The only one you can trust is yourself!

That warning is just so you, Professor Jin.

What?

How can you be so self-centered like that?

Well, figures.

I'm sure that you can't help it.

Since you've been like that all this time without facing much difficulty thus far.

Because you've never had to help or be helped by anyone.

What are you saying--

That's why you're acting like this to me right now, too.

You're ignoring what I said and only consider your own feelings important.

But I'm different from you, Professor Jin.

I'm severely lacking, so I need the help of others.

And if I'm to receive help, I need to give it. That's what I believe.

And there's nothing I can do even if you tell me that's wrong.

Because, at the very least

I don't want to become someone as selfish as you.

Please, Ms. No Geu Rae--

Please mind your own business.

And don't force your feelings on me anymore either.

Even the Ultimate Miser Kim Dong Young doesn't spend his birthday like that.

She should at least have some pork belly since she likes that.

Wow, what's with this pork belly party?

I was just craving it.

You can have some too since you're here.

Oh, thanks, man!

The meat is over there. See if that's enough for the two of us.

Hey, are you sure you really bought this for the two of us?

How many servings did you buy, exactly?

Oh, it is a lot, isn't it?

I asked for just two servings, but the guy at the butcher shop insisted on it.

because he said that I was just so damn handsome.

Wow, he gave you all this just because he said you were handsome?

- Yeah. - Wow.

If he sees you again, he might just give you his entire store!

At any rate, I think this is too much for two people.

So let's call Gong Myung. And Chae Yeon too, while we're at it.

What?

You want me to call Jung Chae Yeon over too?

Yeah. Because it'd be a shame to waste meat, you know.

Oh ho, I see.

What's this? What's with the cake?

Oh, this? Well, I went to go and buy some bread for tomorrow's breakfast

but the bakery manager said that I was so handsome and--

Gave it to you for free?

Wow! Looks like you ran into some really generous people today!

Um, yeah. I know.

You unrealistic bastard!

Hey. Be honest.

You bought all this to have a birthday party for Jung Chae Yeon, didn't you?

What are you saying?

Oh... um... oh yeah! It's her birthday, right?

I already forgot! But you still remember that?

Wow, what a shocker.

Anyway, I'm going to go wash the lettuce, so call Gong Myung.

And you can call that despicable girl or not. I don't care.

It'd be better to call her if we're going to eat all this, though, I think.

He definitely prepared all this to throw a birthday party for Jung Chae Yeon.

Geez, that pitiful bastard.

He doesn't even know that Jung Chae Yeon has a crush on Gong Myung.

But is it right to call all the parties

involved in this twisted love story together?

Oh, whatever! He already bought all this, so I'll call them.

Whatever.

What? It's Master's birthday today?

Yeah. And Ki Bum can't exactly tell her that he did this all for her

so he told me to call you two over with the excuse that we have too much meat.

So convince Jung Chae Yeon and bring her no matter what.

But... do you think she'll come with her personality?

She'll come if you convince her for sure.

For sure? How do you know that?

Oh, whatever. Just convince her and bring her no matter what.

Hey!

Hey, Master.

I heard that it's your birthday.

How'd you know?

Did Kim Ki Bum tell you?

No. Dong Young told me.

Well anyway, happy birthday. I'm grateful that you were born.

What?

Who else would help me out with my studying if you hadn't been born?

That's why I'm thanking you.

What are you saying?

Let's see, here.

We can't just sit here and study on a historic day like this.

Let's go eat some meat, Master.

What? Meat?

Yeah. My friends said that they're grilling some meat on the hostel roof

and invited us to come.

Let's go and consider it your birthday party.

No thanks. I'll celebrate my birthday after I pass.

If you want to go, then go by yourself.

Come on, let's go.

How could I go and eat by myself

when my master is studying so hard even on her birthday?

It's fine. Go.

Oh, ow! Maybe I should've stayed at the hospital a bit longer!

My body feels so weak because I was discharged so soon!

Man, I'm really craving meat!

I feel like I'll feel totally better if I eat meat!

Oh, I guess it can't be helped. If Master doesn't go, I won't go.

Are you really going to be like this, Min Ho?

You haven't responded in three days. Are you saying you want to break up?

Oh, Professor Park!

I got a free special class for next weekend.

A free special class?

Yeah. Kids gather like flies when you tell them there's something for free!

If you give a good lecture there, you'll get tons of new enrollments!

It'll be great for self-promotion!

Director! Why are you only giving Ha Na that chance?

How could I not?

She's covering Professor Min's time slot. It's so nice of her.

I'm so, so thankful!

Oh, thank you so much!

You even scheduled a free special lecture for me for covering for Professor Min?

Living an unselfish life and caring for others gets you a reward in the end!

Ha Na. Are you saying that for me to hear right now?

- No-- - I'm sorry I'm selfish, okay?

I guess I'm getting punished for that since nothing's working out for me!

Wait, Jin Yi!

Hey, Professor Hwang!

What's with her? Seriously!

I think it's because things haven't been good between her and her boyfriend.

Please understand.

Yes, Aunt.

Yes, I'm sure it was hard for you too, Aunt.

Oh, I'm here to get Mom's things together.

No need to worry about me.

Yeah.

Oh yeah, Aunt.

Thank you. Please get some rest.

What should I take care of first?

Huh? Where are all her clothes?

Jin Woong, it's Mom.

I've taken care of my belongings before I return to the assisted living facility

while I still have my wits about me.

I don't know what will happen to me and when, after all.

You've worked so hard taking care of your sick mother up until now.

You can let go of this heavy burden now and live comfortably. That's what I want.

I just really want you to be happy.

I love you, my son.

You're just leaving like this...

without leaving a single thing behind?

Geez, Mom.

Hello?

What? Where?

You made mine extra sweet, right?

- Yes. - All right.

You better pour that in there! Don't you dare be shy about it!

Damn it, why does she keep calling me when I'm at work?

Yes, Mother-in-Law? What is it?

What?

What?

Oh... I didn't know.

Of course I--

Um, please calm down first.

I'm sorry. Yes.

What's the matter?

Ugh, I'm so pissed.

I'm so damn pissed!

I was wondering why Jin Jung Seok got me coffee and cake

but there was a reason behind it all.

And I didn't even know! Damn it!

Huh? What do you mean?

Apparently, Jin Jung Seok dumped my sister-in-law!

He said that he kept thinking about another woman and ruined the date!

What?

My mother-in-law's so mad, saying that I introduced a terrible man to her.

Damn it.

What do I do now? I'm done for!

Calm down, Director.

Do I look like I can calm down right now?

Jin Jung Seok, that asshole!

Send him to my office as soon as he comes back.

I won't stand for this.

Huh?

Seeing as he ruined his date with another woman

by saying that he was thinking about someone else and came to see me

to confess his feelings for me...

maybe he really does like me.

It's not right to ignore someone's honest feelings.

Oh, whatever.

Even if he does really like me, I'll only end up getting hurt

by staying with someone who's so selfish.

It's better not to get involved with him.

Right?

A "bum" is what you call someone who you think is scum.

Going off on a tangent again? And you were giving me really solid advice too.

Let's stop this.

What? She didn't hit you with a shrimp, but with a lobster?

Yes! And she hit me three times too!

I really was planning to sue her, but held back since she's your family!

Apologize.

Wait, w-why should I?

Because you introduced me to such a low-quality woman!

Oh... okay. I... I'm sorry.

That's all, right? I'll get going then.

Yeah, Professor Seo? What is it?

Huh? What do you mean I'm only helping Professor Park Ha Na?

Why the hell is everyone coming at me today?

Wait, okay. Okay, okay. Calm down, okay?

So... all I have to do is cancel Professor Park's special lecture, right?

All right, then. Cheer up, okay? Okay.

What do you mean you're canceling the special lecture?

That was Professor Seo Do Yoon, another Korean teacher.

She's pissed as it is because she wanted to be in your joint class.

But she's livid now that Professor Park is getting a special lecture to boot.

She's threatening to quit, or whatever.

- Geez. - Wait.

Are you really going to cancel it?

Well, yeah. I have to. She may not be a top lecturer, but she's good.

I can't let her quit.

Here are the clothes that Ms. Kim Mee Kyung left here.

It's been quite some time since she's left her clothes here

but I couldn't get in touch with her.

And our dry cleaners is closing down, so we're in the process of cleaning.

So I'm glad that I could get in touch with you.

Um... yes.

Thank you.

At least I have something of yours left, Mom.

Geez...

I should have bought her some more clothes.

No Geu Rae.

Noryangjin isn't the beautiful place that you believe it to be.

She had these fairy-tale delusions about it, and now...

I guess she'll really learn this time.

Ah, it's been a while, Professor Jin.

Yes, it has.

You know Professor Park Ha Na in your joint class?

What's going on between Director Kim and her?

What do you mean?

I heard everything.

You didn't want to include her in your joint class.

But Director Kim insisted you let her in.

And he set up a free special lecture for her this time.

Wow.

I bet she worked her magic on him or something.

Is that why you pressured him?

You said you'd quit unless the special lecture was canceled.

Isn't that obvious?

She only relies on her looks.

She wants to please the people in power.

That is so low.

I have to show such a tactic won't work in Noryangjin.

Why don't you be more honest?

What? What do you mean?

A newbie instructor got into a joint class.

Plus, her reputation is getting better.

You're scared that she may take your job away, aren't you?

What did you say?

Even I recognized that Professor Park is very good.

Plus, she is a good person.

She switched her classes for Professor Min, whose mom just passed.

That's why she earned the special lecture.

Why is that a problem?

If you keep making unnecessary claims

you won't even be considered for my joint class in the future.

Ah.

I know you're the one who came this far by pleasing the people in power.

You're the only one who still doesn't seem to know that everyone knows

about your scandal with the previous director.

He just asked me to stay behind to have ramen!

Oh my goodness.

Gosh.

You really came because I asked you over?

I would be too afraid to ask you anything.

Shocked that you can't tell jokes.

No wonder you're called Top Despicable.

Personally I'm not that thrilled to be here either.

It's good you're eating a lot of meat.

It's been a while since it tastes good.

Top Despicable, what would you have done if I hadn't called you over?

You think she came over because you invited her?

She came because Gong Myung begged her.

You pathetic man.

Hurry up and eat.

I don't want to waste it. That's why. If it burns, it will be a waste.

Man, let me eat some too.

I will eat it all.

Wow, it's so good.

Go ahead. Eat up, guys.

If it burns, it will get thrown away.

Gosh, you pathetic man.

Min Ho, are you really going to do this?

You haven't called me for three days.

Does this mean that you want to break up with me?

Will you really break up with me?

Do you really want to call it quits?

What is it that you want with me?

You asshole, Min Ho.

He's not even reading my texts now?

What do you say we go get sashimi and soju?

Sounds good. It'll be my treat.

What? Why suddenly?

I was given the opportunity for the free special lecture.

- It's a perfect time to treat you all. - Awesome.

I was thinking about going out for a drink.

- I will go wait for you outside. - Sure.

You have the right attitude. Good.

Professor Jin. Professor Jin.

Professor Park is treating us to celebrate her free special lecture.

Will you come with us?

No, thank you.

See you tomorrow.

Okay.

It was foolish of me to ask him that.

Let's go.

Hi, Professor Min.

Did everything go well with the funeral service?

Now?

Actually, we're going to go get drinks.

Can you come join us?

It's better than being alone.

Come out and have a drink with us.

Are you sure you got this for free?

He said I made a favorable impression and gave it to me for free.

- Master, are you done? - Yes.

I can't study when I'm too full.

Hey, you haven't had much meat yet.

You're already talking about studying?

Don't you get stressed out if you study like that all the time?

- How do you release your stress? - What?

I release my stress by imagining myself dancing in a karaoke place.

What? You're not actually imagining opening up a karaoke place.

Then why do you only imagine dancing there?

Gosh, you give me no choice.

We all should go out to karaoke today.

No thanks. I think you're the only one who wants to go.

Hey, this is why you are called Top Despicable.

Your stress was all built up and affected your personality.

What's wrong with my personality?

- Hi, Mom. - You punk, are you out of your mind?

I got a text about my credit card transaction.

How could you spend more than 100,000 won on meat?

What did you possibly get from the butcher?

I miss you too, Mom.

Of course. I love you.

Master, let's go to a karaoke place.

I really want to go release my stress.

- Then you three can go without me. - What?

Gosh, then I won't go either.

Is this because I started studying right after the hospital?

I can't seem to focus and I'm getting all stressed out.

Well, there is nothing I can do.

When my master isn't going, how can I just go alone?

Gosh.

My heart flutters toward you.

Starting from today, us.

We're dreaming and praying.

Starting from today, us.

I'll send you my heart with the wind and the sunset.

My heart that longs for you falls.

Me gustas tu, gustas tu.

Su tu tu ru, I like you.

Wow, she's having the time of her life.

I agree.

What would she have done if I hadn't asked her to this place?

You think she came because you asked her?

Gosh, you pathetic man.

Hey, it was my first time seeing her drink.

Hey, tell her to drink more.

This is all on me tonight.

Wow.

Gosh, you pathetic man.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

She's having too much fun.

No, it's that punk who is having too much fun.

To our studies!

- To our studies! - To our studies!

Gosh, that pathetic man.

That's right, I don't know if I'm drunk.

I don't know if it's a mistake either.

When the morning comes, I don't remember a thing.

I'm not sure if that makes you nervous.

However, tonight.

There's something I must tell you.

I'm sorry to show you my vulnerabilities.

Don't just think I'm saying this because I'm drunk.

When I stand in front of you

I thought I'd be ready, but I'd say the opposite of what I want to say.

Or I would look back upon it and regret those words.

I would confess how I feel and tell you that I loved you from the start.

- I'd say I love you like this... - Gosh, that pathetic man...

That Noryangjin Idiot.

It was tough, wasn't it?

No, it wasn't.

Thanks to you all, the funeral service went well.

I sent my mom to a better place.

Gosh, it must feel weird that you're left alone now.

No.

She's been ill for a while, so I was getting mentally prepared.

Enough of my story. Let's drink.

Professor Hwang, slow down.

At that rate, you will get drunk in no time.

Don't worry.

I will take care of it.

Ah, I just remembered.

Professor Park, you're filling in for me.

- I'm too sorry to say anything. - What do you mean?

Thanks to you, I got this free special lecture.

I got such a headache because of that special lecture.

What?

What do you mean you got a headache?

Another Korean professor, Seo Do Yeon

complained that I was giving you special treatment.

- I almost canceled the whole thing. - What?

Professor Seo is very popular here.

She tried to stop you from giving me the special lecture?

That's how it is here.

People try to stop popular lecturers from doing better.

And they try to stop the newbies from improving any further.

That happens all the time.

Luckily, she gave in and let me give you the special lecture.

Professor Jin must have said something.

- He did? - What came over him?

Why did he get involved in someone else's business?

He must have been reminded of when he was a newbie

and felt bad for Professor Park.

- What do you mean? - Well...

I heard from my ex-colleague who came to the funeral.

Professor Jin also had a hard time when he first started out.

- What? - He did a doctoral degree program.

He wanted to be a professor at his college.

But things weren't working for him as he'd hoped.

He was feeling lost and all.

Someone who was teaching in Noryangjin offered him a job.

- Come work in Noryangjin. - What?

You'll still be teaching.

Plus, you won't have to try to please someone there.

If you do well

you will make so much more than a college professor would make.

You're a talented young man.

You will certainly do well.

This is a chance for you.

That's how he started working in Noryangjin.

He was working so hard, as if his life depended on it.

- I made some notes in your book for you. - Did you?

I marked corrections and things to add.

I see. I'm sorry, man.

I keep asking you when you're already busy.

Don't mention it. Ask me anytime.

He thought of him as his mentor and followed him around.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

During that time, he often went out drinking with his colleagues.

Good work.

Thanks to you, I gained so many new students this month.

Hello.

Professor Jin was smart and worked hard.

So many new students signed up for his classes.

What do you mean, Director?

You want me to quit after this week?

I'm sorry, but my hands are tied.

What is the reason?

I hear that my class is full next month.

My evaluations were good too. Why this sudden request?

- Did I do something wrong? - That's not it.

Professor Jin, please do it for me.

If not, Professor Shin says he'll quit.

What?

What do you mean? Why would he?

He says you copy his material.

So he doesn't want to work with you anymore.

That's just what he's saying.

Fine. I will be straightforward.

Because you're gaining more students

Professor Shin feels threatened.

How...

How could the top instructor like him be threatened by a newbie like me?

Now you're doing better.

He wants to get rid of you before you get too big.

He's afraid he'll get his job taken away some day.

How does that make sense?

He's the one who brought me here.

When he's worrying about his job, why did he bring me here?

I hear you help with Professor Shin's material.

You even monitor all his lectures.

In my opinion, he brought you here to use you only for that purpose.

He didn't know that you'd become someone who would threaten him.

- I will go talk to him. - Don't do that.

It will only hurt your feelings further.

This is how it is here.

I hope you understand, please.

If Professor Shin leaves

our academy will get hit big time.

After he was betrayed by his mentor like that

he became a totally different person.

He stopped hanging out with others.

He wanted to gain power to survive.

He became so fierce.

Wow, I thought he had a smooth ride here without any problems.

I didn't know that he had such a sad past.

True. I was surprised to hear that.

Is there anybody who doesn't have just as much pain?

I'm in more pain.

I'm hurting more, Director Kim.

True. You look like you're in pain.

That's why you're still single.

If you're in pain, please go home to rest.

I will.

Stop that already, seriously.

Excuse me. Another bottle of soju, please.

Noryangjin isn't the beautiful place that you believe it to be.

This is a battlefield, and you have to do your best to survive.

And you don't have the luxury of helping others on a battlefield!

The only one you can trust is yourself!

That's why he said all those things.

I had no idea...

Hey, Top Despicable.

Wake up.

How much did she drink, huh?

She was all about studying.

So her body isn't used to this much drinking.

There's no choice but to carry her out.

You carry her.

Me? Why me?

What do you mean? You like her.

"The Love Story of a Noryangjin idiot."

- Isn't that story still valid? - Hey.

It was such a long time ago.

I'm no longer that fool in Noryangjin.

I have zero interest in carrying her on my back.

To be fair, let's play rock-paper-scissors.

Do it now.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

- Rock, paper... - Hey.

Why are you doing it again? I'm carrying her, right?

Whoever wins gets to carry her, correct?

Oh my goodness. My luck...

I can't believe I have to carry Top Despicable.

I'm super irritated now.

Hey, wake up. Oh my.

Come here.

You're like my enemy.

Too hard.

Gosh, why did I win?

He's still the Noryangjin Idiot.

He is being very obvious like that.

Can't we tell how happy he looks from behind?

He must be smiling with his mouth open.

He looks very happy.

Does he look happy to you?

He looks very pathetic to me.

What do you mean?

It's just one of those things.

Hey.

Hey.

I thought it was a luxury

celebrating my birthday when I'm studying for exams.

But I really had a good time today.

It's all thanks to you.

Thanks.

You really seem like a warm-hearted and good person.

I'm drinking solo again today.

At the end of a day that was very long and tough...

I crave drinking.

No Geu Rae.

Get in. No Geu Rae.

You haven't had lunch, right? Here, have some cake.

Luckily Professor Seo gave in and let me give you the special lecture.

Professor Jin must have said something.

At the end of the day when I ignored someone's sincerity

I crave drinking.

He didn't even drink that much.

Why did he become so out of it?

If anyone had thought he was living with someone...

This is how he's been living all this time? Gosh.

All he has is beer.

I should go. It's 10:00 p.m.

I will go now.

Come on, man...

Where would you go?

What?

That's right...

Not anymore.

Now when the alarm goes off

I don't have anyplace to go.

My mom was waiting for me.

She's no longer here.

I really want to have a meal my mom makes.

I really want to have it.

At the end of a day when things were gloomy and bitter

I crave drinking.

Min Ho, are you really going to do this?

You haven't called me for three days.

Does this mean that you want to break up with me?

Will you really break up with me?

Do you want to call it quits?

What is it that you want to do to me?

How could you do this to me?

You can't possibly do this to me.

He's not reading my texts.

He's ignoring me, huh?

If this is how you deal with things

let's break up.

[Min Ho] Okay.

At the end of a lousy day when you have to accept tough reality

you are accompanied by drinking.

On a day like today

if drinks aren't keeping you company

I wonder how anybody can get through this lonely time.

[Premium Trash]

Premium Trash...

True.

I was criticizing him for no reason.

What do you want?

What you said was right.

Noryangjin is like a battlefield.

What do you mean?

I heard about Professor Seo.

You stepped in and helped keep my special lecture.

What did you do that for?

I was so mean and harsh and told you to mind your own business.

I didn't want you to become someone like me.

What?

You said you wouldn't want to become selfish like me.

I wanted you to keep that.

Why?

What you said was right all along.

"You're the only one who you can trust."

Now I know why you said that.

I've only thought about myself.

I've been actually living my life like Premium Trash.

I thought I gained more by living that way.

Now when I look back

it seems that I've lost a lot too.

I've lost people around me.

The woman I liked doesn't like me anymore.

In the end, it may not be good to live this way.

I will get a cab for you.

No, I'm not that drunk.

Bye, No Geu Rae.

This may be one of my selfish acts again to make myself feel better.

But I've really wanted to say this.

I meant it when I told you that I liked you.

I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings.

I won't think only about myself and try to hold onto you again.

Professor Jin.

You're still so selfish, you know that?

You just walk away after you said what you wanted to say?

I'm sorry.

I'm the selfish one here.

I misjudged you.

I'm sorry for that.

[Let's Drink]

You came early. I thought I came out when we planned.

- Why are you smiling? - Because you're so pretty.

Lower your head, No Geu Rae. Now!

Let's keep this only between us.

Let's act like we're not dating.

As you know, I'm like a celebrity in Noryangjin.

Top-grade celebrity.

Bastard.

Just because he broke up with Joo Yeon, he wants me to be unhappy too?

I have homework to do.

You need to work on your gloomy future instead.

What do you think will happen to your love life?

We didn't break up.

You're not good at reading your future.

- What do you mean? - I mean Joo Yeon has a new boyfriend.

- What? - You asshole, Min Ho.

He's not even human.

How can he possibly do this to me?

I will meet a better guy and show him.

I will hook up with someone here tonight.

- Isn't that woman in white cute? - I will make a move on her.

Shall we sit in a couple seat?

We need to concentrate on the movie.

If we sit in a couple seat, we won't concentrate on the movie.

Let's not engage in such tacky behavior.

I strive for top-quality dating culture.

Uh, that's my brother there.

That's Professor Park?
