Today's regular is Mr. Chang-sik.

Driver, would you like some tteokbokki?

By day, he helps his father

with his work at Sewoon Plaza.

At night, I work as a DJ under the name 'Jacky Jacky.'

- Thanks for the meal. - Enjoy.

Yes.

Chang-sik and I get along pretty well.

We're more than

driver and passenger. You could say we talk music.

I don't usually lend my records

to anyone, but

I trust you, Chang-sik, so I'm lending you one.

I don't mean to pressure you, but

if this gets scratched,

our relationship gets scratched too. You know that, right?

Driver, I'm a DJ.

You know I don't even breathe when I handle records!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Wow, Sanullim's third album.

- Woah! - Yeah, yeah.

'Rock Music'

'Remake'

Everything has changed a great deal.

But even so,

it's fun to find the things that haven't changed.

Those are new glasses. Haven't seen them before.

Did you get those at Dongmyo, too?

No.

You don't always find something you like at Dongmyo.

There are so many people looking for vintage these days

that there are lots of new clothes made to look vintage.

Maybe it was untouched by time?

Wearing clothes someone else has worn just feels a little icky.

I'm buying someone else's memories.

I believe objects hold memories, too.

But things straight from the factory haven't made any memories yet.

Finding something with memories that fits

and that you like can't be easy.

That's right.

So I usually come back empty-handed.

But when that happens,

I just get a bowl of janchi-guksu before heading home.

Driver, take a look at this.

Yes.

Oh, Mr. Chang-sik, you play guitar too?

That's a photo of my father.

Pardon?

Wait, this...

Even the clothes he's wearing...

They're identical.

Well, this was a few days ago.

I came home one day after buying a few used records.

In our yard,

there was a huge pile of clothes.

Oh, that's pretty.

What are you doing over there?

Hey, take all these clothes and dump them in the clothing bin.

They're too heavy for me to carry.

Mom, where did all these come from?

Where do you think?

They're your dad's old clothes. Some are decades old.

I've been telling him to throw them out!

I've been telling him for years to get rid of them,

but your dad is so cheap,

he practically shakes at the thought of throwing anything away.

Quick, get rid of them while your dad's out.

The closet's already packed to the brim.

What year is it?

Who keeps clothes like these around? Honestly.

Mom...

I want to wear this.

It's pretty, right?

I'm late. I'm late.

Why am I at my own house?

Well, it's my house. Of course I'm here.

No!

Why is my twenty-year-old self here?

Put some clothes on!

You never wear the clothes I buy you,

and what is there to see? Why walk around half-naked?

You're humiliating me in front of the whole neighborhood.

Dad.

It's me.

Son?

- Son. - Son?

- Son. - Son?

Yes!

This...

Oh, this...

Wait, hold on a second.

- Why, why, why, why, why? - Hey!

- Hold on. - Yes, careful...

Hurry up and throw it away before I burn it.

- Ah! - I said throw it away.

What are you doing in the meantime?

- Hey! Hold still. - Goodness.

- Son! - Yes.

These glasses

will make you complete.

Father.

What a bunch of idiots.

Looks like even a place like this has a lounge bar with a DJ.

Driver, that's the red sign.

Driver, would you like to come in with me?

The songs feel a little different here than they do in the taxi.

No, I, I can't.

I have to work, yes.

'Rock.'

'Namee Chameleon'

The Sanullim album you lent me

It'll be the grand finale.

Don't just give me that look.

Go talk to her.

Go...

Excuse me, driver.

When I'm working, I never let my mind wander like that.

No, I mean this record.

Oh, the record.

- Yes. - Oh, right.

Yes, yes. Go ahead and handle it.

You know your way around records.

Yes.

This, this first pressing...

It was really hard to find in Korea.

Back then, in Korea,

they didn't press many copies of this album.

But it actually became better known in the U.S.,

so there are probably more people

in the U.S. who own this album.

- Right. - But it's been reissued,

so now you can easily buy it online...

But the ones pressed these days...

don't have the memories of that time in them.

Right.

They don't have those memories in them.

Yes.

Hey, Chang-sik. Honestly, I never understood

why you went around like this.

But seeing you DJ here today,

I get it now.

It suits you so well.

I'll...

Go get the car.

What? Driver...

The taxi...

They're hard to find, aren't they?

Yes.

I hope you're not going out of your way because of me.

No, not at all.

It's on my way anyway.

It's really no trouble.

Right, driver?

That's right. We have to go through Suwon.

Yes.

I really enjoyed that gin and tonic today.

Gin and tonic?

But you said earlier that the DJ bought it for me...

Yes.

And this taxi...

You can request songs, too.

Are you a DJ too, driver?

Well, I just...

I just listen to music with my passengers.

Even albums I couldn't find...

This driver has just about everything.

Do you collect records too, driver?

I don't discriminate between cassettes, CDs, or records.

You can never truly own music,

but I like to keep it close.

Rather than collecting records,

'staying by the records'

is a better way to put it.

- I... - Yes, here you go.

Um, earlier...

What was the name of the song you played at the shop?

Yes.

Namee's...

'The One I Want to Be Close To'

'You.'

Go on in.

Yes, get home safe.

Did you get her number?

Here...

I was worrying for nothing.

Honestly, you guys...

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

I didn't even play that today.

Well, still...

If there's a disagreement later,

we'll end up on bad terms.

Yes.

Father.

Son!

Wait.

Those are new clothes and a hat.

My son took all his father's clothes,

so I had to buy new ones.

Come on, Dad.

I saved these clothes from going up in flames.

Is something important happening today?

My son,

In our lives, there isn't a single day that doesn't matter.

Son.

You'll get chewed out by your mom if you go in now anyway.

Why not just come home even later?

That's the most important thing.

Son.

How's your love life going?

I told you to learn guitar already.

There's something I really want to show you.

- This isn't it. - Hey, hold still. Let me see.

Give it here. Let me see.

I...

When I called the next day, your mom...

gave me the number of the rice shop in our neighborhood.

Wow, it's amazing you still managed to meet again.

A man shouldn't rely on fate to meet a woman.

You need to be ready to fall in love at any moment—and have a meticulous plan.

But what's that, then?

Um, Dad...
