(Love Me)

You don't eat...

breakfast not because you're too lazy.

But you just don't?

I do intermittent fasting.

You don't have a driver's license...

not because you couldn't get one. You chose not to?

Well,

it's my attempt to reduce carbon footprint.

You didn't have a boyfriend...

not because you couldn't get one. You chose not to.

So why the change of heart?

You're the one who said we should take things slow.

You make it sound like we slept together.

We didn't sleep together, but we fell asleep in the same room.

It's just that...

when you're getting to know someone,

getting to know their space is important too.

So...

what did you think?

I pictured sheet music strewn all over the floor,

your place reeking of old takeout and stale cigarette smoke,

and you living like a zombie with your days and nights mixed up.

Are you disappointed?

Let's just say my fantasy about musicians is shattered.

Today, after the tea ceremony,

you'll have Jeju hairtail fish for dinner.

- Hairtail fish? - When you come back to the resort,

you'll get massages at a spa.

That's the last activity on our schedule for today.

Please go to your rooms to unpack and rest for a bit.

I'll see you all back here at noon. See you then.

- Okay, thank you. - Of course.

- Thank you. - All right, come here.

Could you grab that?

Excuse me.

- Do I have to attend that? - Yes... Pardon?

Attend what?

The meals and the sightseeing.

That's all included in the price you paid.

And everything is premium quality, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I'd rather just rest.

Our policy doesn't allow guests to go off on their own, though.

You can rest, but only here.

We can't risk you wandering off and getting into accidents.

(Jeju Island, Golden Tour)

You slept with that guy?

And after you played so hard to get?

But nothing happened.

Seriously, we literally just slept. Nothing more.

- No touching? You guys just slept? - Yes.

Is that even possible?

We decided to take things slow and get to know each other.

You're going to take things slow?

You, Ice Queen Seo Jun Kyung, and that broke musician...

made a deal to put off having sex? Is that what you're saying?

Basically, yes.

Does that sound like something an OB-GYN should say?

Since when is it our job to encourage people to have sex?

Come on, some things shouldn't be put off.

Looks like the laziest couple ever has just been formed.

Then what did you guys do all night?

Well,

we drank...

and talked.

I just realised how different he was from me.

That's all I really learned.

But...

I didn't actually mind how different we were.

You guys totally did it, didn't you?

If you were in my shoes, would you believe me?

You're picky about your own bed, but you slept over at his place?

And you're telling me you just slept there?

I know, right?

How could I sleep so well at someone else's place?

Anyway,

don't you tell a soul.

My gosh. What is there to even tell?

- Hey. - I'm coming in.

- Hey, you guys, guess what? - What? What is it?

It's about Dr. Hong.

She didn't skip lunch to lose weight.

She had a fight with her boyfriend.

- Really? - Yes.

No way.

Look at you, Dr. Seo.

It's nice to see you smile again, even if it looks forced.

Let's go get some food.

Hey, guys, let's go get some food.

- Hey, wait up! - Come on. Wait up for us.

- Sorry about that. - Come on, hurry up.

(Eternal Love)

I don't have practice today. Where are you?

Hey, why are you ignoring my texts?

And my calls too.

Why are you sulking?

- I'm not sulking. - Then spit it out. Or I'm leaving.

Wait.

Fine.

I'm sulking.

Then what are you sulking about?

Who is that jerk?

Who?

You know, that smarmy-looking guy.

He keeps posting photos he took with you...

- on his social media. - You mean Beom Jun?

- Gosh, you're adorable. - Come on.

Come here.

Hey, what are you doing?

Look at this.

Look.

"My everything."

(My everything)

I posted it.

- There. Feel better now? - No.

Come on. I know you do.

Estonia? You've been there?

Yes.

When? Who'd you go with?

Gosh, not this again.

I went with my team to perform two years ago.

I see.

First, I'd invite everyone I know to the classiest restaurant...

in the Old Town to kick things off.

Okay.

Then we'd hit the hottest club in the city for the after-party.

Okay.

And then...

just the two of us would go back to the hotel for a very wild night.

- Gosh, come on. - So? What do you think?

But...

who travels that far just for a birthday party?

It's just my dream birthday. That's all.

I know, but...

Is there anything else you want instead? Come on.

If I tell you,

will you make it happen for me?

Oh, no.

My goodness.

Hi, Dad.

Hey.

I shouldn't have come here.

I should've just listened to Jun Seo.

I see.

So you went on that trip?

You probably think I'm crazy, don't you?

Especially with everything going on.

But I just felt like I had to.

I get it.

Are you off work yet?

I'm about to head out.

I wonder if Jun Seo is even eating.

A house party?

Yes, not some boring birthday party at some rented venue.

I want a real party.

But my place is way too small.

What do you say?

Your dad's out of town, so the house is empty. Right?

What?

You don't want to?

No, it's just...

I just feel it's not the right time to do something like that.

My mom passed away recently.

No, I mean, you know my situation. You know what I mean, don't you?

He'll be home by himself with his injured neck.

And it's so lonely eating by yourself.

You make sure you get some dinner too.

Okay. You too, Dad.

Were you...

able to get some rest?

Yes, thanks to you.

I asked the restaurant, and they said you didn't eat.

Right. It felt a little strange to eat by myself.

Right? That's why people travel together.

This is abalone gimbap. I think you'll like it.

Here you go.

So they put abalone right in the gimbap?

Tomorrow, we're exploring together.

I already checked on that.

Yes, I don't think it'll be a problem.

Okay.

I'll finish proofreading and send it by tomorrow morning.

You'd think a so-called writer wouldn't be proud of making typos.

Tell me about it.

- Seriously. - My gosh.

Here.

Sorry, but I have to get back to work.

So I can't drink with you.

Have you ever been to Estonia?

No, but I'd love to visit the Baltic states.

Some people get to go to Estonia.

Some people get to go to Jeju Island.

Oh, right.

When I was waiting for you on the rooftop, you could...

totally throw a party there.

What are you talking about?

Good grief.

I think I'm the loneliest person in the world.

Being alone makes you lonely.

But you're still lonely...

with people around afraid you might end up alone.

The poor are lonely.

The rich are lonely.

What can be fairer than loneliness?

No, it's unfair.

I'm just that little bit lonelier than anyone else.

No one understands me.

I'm heading out now.

You're leaving early? Where to?

- Pardon? - They started dating yesterday.

Of course, she's going on a date.

- Come on, it's a secret. - It's a secret.

Good luck.

Good luck.

- You couldn't even last a day? - Good luck.

I worried you'd start off quietly and then just let it fizzle out.

This way, you'll be too embarrassed not to see it through.

- Auntie! - Auntie Jun Kyung!

- Auntie Jun Kyung! - Auntie Jun Kyung!

- You have to bring your boyfriend! - You have to bring your boyfriend!

You have to bring your boyfriend...

Your love life isn't just about you anymore.

You need to take this seriously.

Why are you staring?

Hey. What are you doing here? You didn't even call.

- Do I need an invitation? - But Dad's not here.

He's on a trip.

I know. Out of my way.

Have you eaten?

So this is your version of grieving in your own way?

- Look, it's just... - Save it.

Whatever you're about to say...

I'm sure it makes perfect sense.

Thanks.

Let's just eat.

Hey, you got a text.

What?

"The Guy Next Door."

"Jun Kyung."

"Since today is our first official day as a couple,"

"should we..."

That's as far as I can read.

Here.

Good for you. Today is your first day as a couple.

That's...

My gosh, Dad really knows how to cook. This is rich.

He's so by-the-book. He simmered it for hours, the old-fashioned way.

Right.

Jun Seo, so...

This whole first day thing...

isn't a big deal.

- No, it's not that. I... What? - Save it.

Whatever you're about to say...

I'm sure it makes perfect sense.

Let's just eat.

Okay. Thanks.

Talk about bad timing.

This is so embarrassing.

Hi, Do Hyun.

My gosh.

This is great.

So what kind of work do you do here?

Do you want to know what kind of work...

I do here?

What?

Wait.

Yes. It's that coffee commercial.

This is the follow-up, which comes out in a week.

I take a video someone poured their heart into...

and slap my crummy music on it.

You know, this is the first time I've invited anyone to my studio.

I hope you're not getting disappointed...

the more you get to know me.

Not yet.

How do those two look to you?

- They look lonely. - I see.

I could turn the two of them...

into sad lovers who feel...

that a breakup is inevitable.

Or I could turn them...

into a couple just starting their relationship,

brimming with excitement.

How?

It's a special talent of mine.

Really?

Gosh. Oh, my.

It really makes a huge difference.

So what do you think...

will happen to them now?

But...

we...

did agree to take things slow, didn't we?

We did.

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Yes.

Planning on holing up in your room by yourself again today?

It's so beautiful out.

- This is so nice. - It's an absolute paradise.

- Gosh. - Look over there.

- Be careful. - This is so nice.

We're almost there. Hang in there!

- Are you all right? - I'm fine.

Are you okay?

We should totally come back.

Go on ahead.

Oh, no.

What is it?

- My pants... - What?

- What's wrong? - They ripped.

- I see. - You guys can pass through.

Here. Let me help. I'll cover you up.

- Oh, no. - Oh, my goodness!

- Get my good side. Did you get it? - Yes.

Thanks.

I guess my performance jacket...

really did its job.

It could've been a total disaster.

You really saved me. Thank you.

Oh, no.

- That's going to sting. - Gosh, that stings.

It's unbelievable, seriously.

No matter how you look at it, your landlord is being unreasonable.

How can they just change the date whenever they want?

They said their situation called for it. What could I do?

I just have to be understanding.

They paid the fee to store my big furniture.

There's not much left anyway.

So let's just drop it. It's fine. Jun Kyung.

You don't need to come back up.

But it'll go faster if we do it together.

My junior will be here soon. We can finish up together.

Jun Kyung.

Would you mind getting me something cold to drink?

Like what?

Surprise me.

- Watch out for cars. Okay. - I will.

His move-out date got pushed up, so he's staying with his junior.

- Won't that be awkward? - For whom? For him?

Or for you?

Now that he's suddenly leaving, I just feel weird about it.

What, is he immigrating? Is he getting deployed?

- Should I ask him to stay with me? - Are you crazy?

You're going to move in together after just a few days?

It's not moving in.

It would just be temporary until he can get into his new place.

You're way ahead of yourself. You haven't slept together.

Wait a minute. You have?

Even so, do you need to share things you don't have to...

- so early in your relationship? - You think so?

Didn't you guys say you were going to take it slow?

Like his bathroom habits, or how loud he snores.

He'll see you without makeup and hear your fart.

There's nowhere to hide.

This is when you should only show each other your best sides.

That's your all-or-nothing approach again.

Right?

Looks like his junior is here.

Come on out.

What on earth...

What?

- His junior is a woman. - What?

And her hair is longer than mine.

- I think she's slimmer than me. - Oh, my.

So the junior he's crashing with for two weeks is a woman.

What a rebellious free spirit. He's just as I figured.

I have to go.

I see your junior is here.

Yes, my junior just went up to get the last of my things.

I guess you guys are very close.

Yes, we're the closest work friends.

We've seen each other at our best...

- and our worst. - Do Hyun.

Yes?

So...

here's your coffee.

Thanks.

Why don't you stay at my place?

I mean...

It'd be easy to move your stuff, and my place is plenty big.

Plus, you know, it's close to your studio too.

I'd love that.

Really?

That's my junior.

Woo Jung Hoon.

Say hi. This is Seo Jun Kyung.

My girlfriend.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

So let me get this straight.

Jun Kyung.

You thought my junior was a girl?

What kind of guy do you think I am?

I'm not that open-minded.

No... It's just that his hair looked silky and smooth,

and he had such slim legs.

- So... - What?

I guess I owe Jung Hoon a meal.

We should get something to eat too.

It's moving day, after all.

Do we have a number for Chinese or something? Gosh.

Thank you.

For getting jealous.

Hold on a second.

Hello?

Really?

How far apart are the contractions?

Okay, no need for oxytocin then.

I'm on my way.

Hey, Sol.

You said four people were coming, right?

Five?

That's fine, no problem.

I've got it all set up, so all you have to do is show up.

(Happy birthday to my Sol)

Okay.

Did you get your pants fixed?

You didn't know, right? I'm in the room next door.

Just a second.

Here you go.

Thank you so much.

Gosh, the wind on Jeju Island is no joke.

And I got the pants sorted out.

Luckily, one of the staff at the front desk had a sewing kit.

- You must be pretty handy. - No, it's nothing.

I stitched them up just enough,

so people can't tell they were ripped.

What are your plans for dinner?

I was just planning on a quick bite here.

Why settle for that? Every meal is important.

You should try the Italian place in the Ocean Wing. It's really good.

Would you like to have dinner with me?

I'm on my own too when I'm not with the tour group.

I'm having trouble with this.

I noticed you signed up for the yacht tour tomorrow.

Yes.

I only signed up because I thought my wife would enjoy it.

My wife...

passed away not long ago.

Oh, no.

I really wanted to come here with her,

but I was too late.

I'm glad you still came.

I'm really glad you did.

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday, dear Sol - Happy birthday, dear Sol

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

You can't do that! Wait. Stop it!

- You can't do that! Stop! - Happy birthday!

(Sol's birthday)

Excuse me. One moment.

Hold on.

What are you all doing here? Come on. Get out of this room.

- Come on. - We can just leave.

My gosh.

So it was a bust?

Smoke outside. Just take it outside.

What? What's wrong? What is it?

Are you okay?

Thank you...

for everything today.

Don't tell me...

you're here to kill yourself.

What?

That would be very inconvenient for me.

I'm a man of faith.

Then I have nothing to worry about, I guess.

But has that happened before?

- What? - Someone ending it all on a trip.

Oh, well,

something like that did happen a long time ago...

on the Camino de Santiago.

I had a lovely time tonight.

Yes, I did too.

(The Guy Next Door)

Call me when you're done.

(Jun Kyung)

Hey, Jun Kyung.

I just finished up.

- Gosh, that took forever. - This baby owes the mom, big time.

The mother had a really tough time.

So now, I'm exhausted and starving.

Hurry back. I was waiting to eat with you,

so I haven't eaten either.

You still haven't?

You should have eaten without me.

Right. I don't have any food at home.

Let's get that jjajangmyeon we missed out on earlier.

Sounds good. Hurry back.

Okay.

(The Guy Next Door)

(Do Hyun)

I'm a real, hopeless scumbag.

Thank you.

Go ahead. It's okay.

(Please let me pass the exam.)

"It's okay to be lonely."

"But you still need..."

"someone to tell you that it's okay to be lonely."

Honore de Balzac.

- I'm sorry. - How are you all doing tonight?

If you're feeling lonely right now,

- I'll be the one to tell you. - That'll be nine dollars.

That it's okay...

to be lonely.

You're here.

You're hungry, right?

Oh, right.

I called to get the washing machine fixed.

It was broken.

It was the first time...

my house that had always felt dark and ghostly...

welcomed me with a brilliant warmth.

What are you doing?

- It was the very first moment. - Nice touch.

Go on, wash up.

So how is it?

It's delicious.

That's it? Just delicious?

Nothing else?

Like what?

Aren't you moved by it?

Are you fishing for a compliment?

This goes for all food,

but especially with curry, 90 percent is pure emotion.

Why is that?

To me, curry is soul food.

Back when I was a starving musician, practically a zombie,

I'd buy a packet of curry powder for a dollar,

throw in just some potatoes and onions,

and make a whole big pot of it.

The next day, and the day after that,

its flavour would get deeper, and it'd get even more delicious.

Like magic.

I've had this little fantasy ever since those days.

And what's that?

Someday,

for whatever reason,

I would come home, totally exhausted.

And my wife would be there in an apron,

making a pot of curry,

and the smell would just fill up the entire house.

Well, that's a simple fantasy.

But there's one condition.

My wife...

has to be wearing nothing but the apron.

- Gosh, you pervert. - You'll do it for me, right?

- Me? - Yes.

What? You must be crazy!

Come on, indulge my simple fantasy.

That's ridiculous. Oh, my.

My gosh.

This is the first time I've seen you smile so freely.

You came because you were worried I'd be moping alone again, right?

- Being a tour guide is a tough job. - Not at all.

I get paid to travel, which I love. It's a fantastic job.

After all, the yacht tour is our most expensive.

I see.

Being in a beautiful place like this makes me think of my husband.

My husband and I never got to go on a yacht together.

Then you should go sometime.

There'll be other chances.

I lost my husband too. It was ten years ago.

This definitely tastes different from what you get in Seoul.

Try the horned turban shell.

The haenyeo caught them, right in these waters.

Oh, my.

My wife used to nag me...

all the time about how...

I always had my food too salty or spicy.

She used to eat healthy, but she's not here anymore.

It's so ironic, isn't it?

See that tour group over there?

Yes.

This is a secret.

But their tour package is a very special one.

What kind of package is it?

The Oblivion Package.

- Oblivion? - Shush.

I'm shushing.

They may all be smiling like that, but those people...

are actually going through some very tough times.

They just want to forget all that for a little while,

so they chose the Oblivion Package.

When the trip ends and they go back to their life,

it won't be any different than when they left.

But at least during the trip, they want to forget it all.

- So they have the same hats. - Exactly.

Look.

- See that couple in denim shirts? - Right there.

- The ones taking a picture. - Yes.

They're a dual-income couple, married for five years.

The husband found out...

his wife was cheating on him with a coworker.

They're at each other's throats constantly,

but they haven't resolved a single thing.

Two, three.

See? Right now, they're in a state of oblivion.

Gosh, see the couple next to them?

The husband co-signed a loan for his friend,

lost his entire fortune, and is now deep in debt.

So they lost their house and everything,

and now they're homeless. What can they even do?

How could he do that?

- Oh, man. That's awful. - I know. It's so upsetting.

So do those people over there have similar stories?

They do.

Oh, no.

- You give it a try. - Sorry? Try what?

Go on, give it a try.

Oh, I see. I get it.

My gosh.

- I can't do it. - Just try. Make anything up.

Go on.

So that man over there...

He's a civil servant. An office worker.

Okay.

Not long ago,

he was debating retiring earlier than planned.

So he just did it.

He said he needed to spend more time with his wife.

That was the reason he gave.

You see, his wife...

was in a tragic accident.

She lost one of her arms.

Oh, no. That's awful.

Ever since that accident,

his wife has lost her smile.

His wife now feels like...

she's lost all hope.

For his wife's sake,

that man...

sacrifices his time, his heart,

and everything he has.

But the truth is, he's completely exhausted.

He wonders, "When will this ever end?"

He has thoughts like that sometimes.

He feels terrible about himself for even thinking it.

Actually, the reason he came on this trip alone...

is...

- But her arm looks perfectly fine. - What?

Nobody knows she wears a prosthetic.

But she's scratching it.

See? She's forgotten she's wearing a prosthetic.

Did you really expect anyone to read this?

Can you even read it yourself?

I mean, really.

There's no excuse for being dumb these days.

With a smartphone...

No. If you made the slightest effort,

a report wouldn't be this bad.

You all graduated with bachelor's degrees.

While everyone else got jobs,

you came to grad school because you had...

some big dream about this field.

Frankly, I don't care about that. Okay?

Do you even care about your own life or your future?

Because if you did, you wouldn't be like this.

But I bet your parents care a lot, don't they?

And here you are, clueless about making a mess of your life.

Who's next?

That jerk...

Did he have to bring my parents into this?

Who does he think he is? Darn it.

Then say it to his face.

Isn't this character assassination? An abuse of power?

So what? Are you going to sue him?

No.

I'm going to rewrite it and submit it again.

Suit yourself.

So when are you going to introduce him to us?

Not this again.

Don't you think it's time to make it official with everyone's blessing?

- Especially as you live together. - I told you it was only temporary.

- Aren't you leaving? - Answer it.

Hello, Do Hyun.

Hey, Jun Kyung. Are you done for the day?

What should we get for dinner?

- Dinner... - Hyung Jun's making spicy chicken.

What do you think about spicy braised chicken?

- Pardon? - No, that was my friend...

Come eat with us!

- Hey! - That sounds great.

Are you sure you're okay with that? You really don't have to.

- He's a terrible cook. - Okay, it's time to eat.

Hey, kids. Time to eat.

Jun Kyung is finally dating again after all this time.

Gosh, sometimes I feel like she's my eldest daughter.

It just makes me so happy.

So I hear you're a musician.

Yes.

What kind of music do you make?

I don't really stick to one particular genre.

So do you busk or something?

If I had to specify, it's more in visual media.

I see. Visual media.

Is there anything you've done that we might have heard of?

Something you'd recognise?

It doesn't have to be famous. It could be anything,

and we'll look it up.

All right then.

I wonder...

if you'd know this one.

Hey, I know this one.

The animals! It's that one with the animals!

How'd they get so chummy so fast? Unbelievable.

Look at you.

What?

You haven't been seeing him long. What's got you so smitten?

Yes, I really like him.

I don't know, maybe my expectations were too high?

He's not drop-dead gorgeous,

and it's not like he has an amazing body either.

So what's the secret?

What made our materialistic, cold-hearted Seo Jun Kyung...

to fall for him this hard?

I like animals.

Just because.

- Just because? - Yes. I just like him.

- Get home safe. - I'll get the door.

- We're off. - Hyung Jun.

- Life's a beautiful cycle. - A beautiful cycle.

It's a beautiful cycle.

- Bye, Jun Kyung. - See you.

Bye, Do Hyun.

Oh, my.

What do you think?

Actually, I'm against this relationship.

Why?

You and Do Hyun were getting along like a house on fire.

Do Hyun's too good for her.

He's way out of Jun Kyung's league.

Actually, I'm on board either.

Why's that?

If something exciting happens to Jun Kyung now,

she'll tell Do Hyun first, not me.

And when she needs support, she'll turn to him, won't she?

The truth is...

I was scared.

Of what?

"Am I good enough for someone like him?"

"Would he even want to be with someone like me?"

I've changed so much, haven't I?

No.

This is who you've always been.

You're just back to being the real Seo Jun Kyung.

You think so?

What are you up to?

You haven't even changed yet.

It's bedtime, and I'm just starting to sober up.

I guess I got a little carried away today.

I'll remember today for a long time too.

It was one of those days so good, I wondered if I deserved such joy.

The thing is...

my mom passed away recently.

I didn't know.

I take after my mom a lot.

But toward the end,

we had come to really...

hate each other.

I never even got to tell her...

how sorry I was.

I couldn't even make up with her,

and then it was all over.

Even if you couldn't say the words,

the fact that...

you're still holding onto these feelings...

would make your mom say, "It's all right."

I'm sure of it.

What's the most memorable day for you, Do Hyun?

What?

You can't say it was the day you met me.

Well,

the day that stands out the most for me...

was the day my son was born.

(Love Me)
