[Youjin sobbing]

[♪ emotional music playing]

Once...

I swallow something, I never spit it out.

I'd never spit it back out, even if it burned me alive.

There's no going back.

I have to see it through to the end.

Do you still want this?

Let's go.

[♪ music fades]

-[knocking at door] -[Minjae] Youjin.

Yes?

What is it?

[Minjae] I left your clothes by the door.

Put them on when you come out.

I'll be in my room.

Okay.

[sighs]

EPISODE 6

-Mmm... Done showering? -Yeah.

-Hot water working okay? -Yeah.

You don't want to catch a cold.

And your hair.

Make sure you dry it completely.

I dried most of it.

-You did? -Yeah.

Oh...

Right, come, come here.

Come here.

Sit here.

[refrigerator door opens]

[refrigerator door closes]

Drink this.

-It'll warm you up. -Thank you.

[Minjae mumbles]

Have some more. You need to warm up.

-Hmm? -[Youjin] Okay.

[Minjae] It's on...

-Huh? -[Minjae] You got it on your face.

Mmm...

Are you done?

[Youjin] Yes.

If you're done, let's go.

What?

I can't seem to get a taxi because of the rain. This...

I don't mind staying the night here.

[Minjae] Hmm?

My family said I could sleep over tonight.

That's because they thought you'd be watching the meteor shower

and studying with your labmates.

You can't just go spending the night at some guy's place.

When did I ever say I was staying at just some guy's place?

-[cellphone vibrates] -What do you...

We got one. Let's go.

-[Youjin] Huh? -We got a taxi.

Come on.

-But... -Right, don't forget your clothes.

[Youjin] But...

Do you have everything?

[Youjin] Hello.

[Minjae] Aren't you getting out?

[blinker ticking]

[seatbelt clicks]

[Youjin] Have a good night.

-What... hey. -[Youjin exclaims]

What if someone sees us?

It's your neighborhood.

Who's going to see us? There's no one around.

[indistinct chatter]

[Minjae] There they are.

Mmm...

Bye.

Go on in.

[Youjin] Call me when you get home.

Okay, will do.

Wait.

Youjin.

How about we don't tell anyone that we're dating for now?

I mean, I'm getting my PhD by the end of this semester, so just until then.

Just for the time being.

We don't have to keep it a secret, though.

We don't have to, do we?

Well, that's not what I mean...

So you want to tell everyone about it?

Everyone in the lab?

Taeho, Chansoo, Hangyeol, and Kim Sejin?

[dog barking in distance]

Let's just keep it from everyone else for the time being.

Hmm?

[sighs]

[grunts]

[breathing heavily]

[coughs]

[clears throat]

[sniffles]

[sighs, sniffles]

[exhales]

[groans softly]

I'm so tired.

[sighs]

[footsteps approaching]

[♪ comical music playing]

[Sejin] Oh...

[Minjae] Hey.

-What? -[Minjae] Huh?

What are you doing here?

Well, you guys said you'd be watching the stars here,

so I came to check on you.

Why did you come up?

[Sejin yawns]

Well, we were waiting to see the meteor shower...

[Minjae] Yeah.

[sighs] ...but then it suddenly started pouring.

Yeah, it came out of nowhere.

I was worried about you guys, so I came over.

You can always catch the next one, so don't be too disappointed.

[Sejin] Well... I guess.

[Minjae] Yeah.

And when you're done, clean up after yourselves.

Where are the trash bags?

No, this isn't it.

Where are the trash bags?

Leave it. I'll do it.

Man, this is... Where are the trash bags?

Just leave it.

Right.

[Minjae] What? What is it?

Where did Lim Youjin go? Have you seen her?

-Where did she go? -[Minjae] Youjin?

-She wasn't downstairs either. -[Minjae] She left. She went home.

I saw her take a taxi earlier.

She went home?

Yeah, I mean... It was just pouring earlier.

She probably figured she wouldn't be able to see anything, and left.

Wow.

If she was going, she could've said something.

She can't just slip out without a word. What a little sneak.

Seriously, she's such a weirdo.

[Sejin sighs]

Hey, Kim Sejin.

I told you to quit it, didn't I?

Didn't I?

Why are you always at each other's throats?

Why do you two have to fight every time you're together?

She's always picking fights and getting on my nerves.

Even if she starts it and gets on your nerves,

just be patient and let it go.

[Sejin] Why should I?

Why should I always have to be the patient one and give in?

Because, dude...

You're a leader who's kinder,

more understanding,

and more generous than she is.

You...

When you first joined our lab, you have no idea how happy I was.

I thought, "We have a really hardworking, smart, and talented new member.

Now I finally have a labmate I can really trust and count on.

The lab will be just fine without me."

You're just flattering me.

We've got other senior members.

Come on. Those... Those guys... [inhales]

No matter how many times I tell them, they never listen.

All they think about is screwing around.

Just thinking about those guys gives me an ulcer. You know that.

You see, Sejin, you're honestly the only one I can trust and count on.

[Sejin sighs]

And leaders are supposed to...

I know you're smart.

But when it comes to leadership, heart beats brains.

Kindness and generosity, you know?

Okay.

All right.

I'm counting on you. Okay?

[coughs]

-[sniffles] Oh man. -Are you okay?

I keep feeling like I need to snee...

[Minjae sneezes loudly, coughs]

Jeez.

Hey.

That wasn't because of me, was it?

[suppressed yell]

I mean...

-[Sejin whimpers] -[Minjae] Hey, this...

[Sejin groans]

[♪ gentle music playing]

[Minjae groans]

[grunts]

[coughing]

[groans]

[cellphone vibrates]

[grunts]

[Youjin] What are you up to?

[groans]

[clicks tongue]

[cellphone vibrates]

[Minjae] Sleeping.

[Youjin] Okay. You worked hard today.

Sleep well. See you in my dreams.

[Minjae] Yup.

Come on.

Write more than that.

[♪ music fades]

[groans]

[grunts]

[♪ quirky music playing]

[Youjin] I totally slept in because it's Sunday.

Are you up? What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Look at the time. Why hasn't she come out yet?

Hey, Youjin!

Go wake her up.

[Youseong] She'll come out and eat when she's hungry.

[Miyoung] Leave her be.

It's Sunday, so she can sleep in.

But she has to eat something.

She was reading till late last night.

Sometimes it's hard to believe she's my daughter.

[chuckling] How could she like studying so much?

[line ringing]

[Minjae] Hello?

Oh?

What took you so long to pick up?

Didn't you get my message?

[pharmacist] So take one of these and two of these after every meal.

[Youjin] Okay.

Do you know of any clinics that are open around here?

I couldn't find any online.

Uh...

I'm not sure.

But if these don't work, I'd recommend they go to the ER.

I see. Thank you.

[doorbell rings]

Mmm...

-[coughing] -[doorbell rings]

[door lock chimes]

Oh?

[Sejin] What is it this time?

You come here pretty often, huh?

[Youjin] I don't come here often.

Well, I heard he's sick, so I wanted to get him some meds and stuff.

[Sejin] Ah... Meds.

I already got him some.

[door lock chimes]

Hey, he's asleep. Don't wake him up.

I said he's asleep. You shouldn't wake him up.

Hey, move.

Get out of my way.

[weakly] Hey, what's going on? What's up?

I said, move!

Minjae, are you okay?

[mumbles] I'm okay, I'm okay.

[Youjin] My goodness.

Hey, you're disturbing his sleep--

Hey, stop, be quiet.

[Youjin] Uh... Hold on.

[clicks]

[digital beeps]

[softly in English] Thank you.

[in Korean] I said I was fine. Why did you come?

Because I was worried.

[light thud]

[Sejin] Here.

The porridge is ready, so have some and then take your meds.

You didn't have to come. It's just a cold.

Did you go to the doctor?

It's just a cold. No need to see a doctor.

I'll just take these meds from the drugstore. I'm fine.

I made it with equal parts milk and water.

It's our family secret.

[Minjae] Okay.

Thanks for making it.

[Youjin] Here. Try some.

Wait.

[Minjae] Why?

What do you think you're doing?

[Youjin] What?

This is my porridge.

Why are you doing this?

[Youjin] What do you mean, my porridge?

Why are you taking credit for the porridge I made?

-Go make your own porridge. -[Minjae coughs]

[Youjin] Jeez. Just you wait.

Have some.

Hey, guys, you guys are giving me a headache.

Seriously, stop.

Eat this porridge and take the meds.

Hey, you better not eat a single spoonful of Kim Sejin's porridge, or else.

[sighs] Or what would you do, exactly?

-[Minjae softly] I'm cold. -[Youjin sighs heavily]

Look, Kim Sejin.

Try all you want, but you're never going to beat me.

[Sejin chuckles softly] What are you saying?

I'm not like you.

Minjae and I are--

[Minjae] Youjin.

You see,

-Minjae and I are... -[Minjae coughing] Youjin.

-We started-- -[doorbell rings]

[Minjae sighing] God, who is it now?

[doorbell rings]

[Minjae] Who is it?

Huh?

[whispering] Should we just not open the door?

[Youjin] Yeah.

[door lock chimes]

[Seohyun] Oh?

You guys were here too?

-Hello. -[Youjin] Hello.

[Seohyun] Where's Minjae?

Are you okay?

[Minjae] What are you doing here?

-Of course I'm here. You're sick. -[door lock chimes]

[Minjae] I'm fine.

[Seohyun] I got you some abalone porridge. Have some.

-[Minjae coughs] These guys... -[Seohyun] Here.

I just bought it, so it's still warm.

Look, it's not that serious. I'm fine.

[Seohyun] I mean, who catches a cold in the middle of summer?

How'd you come down with a cold all of a sudden?

It's sweet of you kids to come check on your lab lead when he's sick.

I can take care of him, so you can go now.

Uh... I don't mind staying a little longer.

[Seohyun] It's okay. Go home.

You have to work tomorrow. Go get some rest.

You should go too. You have work tomorrow.

[Seohyun] I'm sleeping over.

-What? -[Seohyun] I can go to work from here.

It's sad being alone when you're sick.

Me too. I can stay the night here too. [chuckles softly]

Yeah, I was going to stay with him too.

I live closest to here.

[Seohyun] Huh?

But he's got me. Why would you guys?

Because he's got me too.

[Sejin] Still...

I'm a guy, so... [chuckles]

Hey, who cares if you're a guy?

[Minjae coughs]

Minjae is most comfortable around me.

Wait.

He feels comfortable around me too. Right?

[Sejin] We're both guys.

You don't feel comfortable around two women, do you?

[♪ comical music playing]

[♪ music stops]

God, Park Minjae, always so darn stubborn.

We come to check on him, and he acts like this?

Looks like he's really not feeling well.

I'll get going then.

Okay. Bye.

What are you looking at? Jeez.

I'll get going too.

Are you taking the subway?

I can drop you off at the station.

[Youjin] Well...

-[footsteps receding] -[♪ gentle music playing]

[♪ music fades]

Don't you think it's a bit strange?

Why would he just kick us out?

He's definitely keeping something from us.

I think he's seeing a girl.

[Youjin] Huh?

[Seohyun] But who could it be?

I don't think he had a blind date, though.

Who could it be?

Could it be...

that woman with the Mercedes?

[Seohyun] Hmm?

The woman Kim Sejin saw outside his place.

She drove a white Mercedes and was really pretty.

[chuckling softly] Oh, that.

No.

No, she can't be...

They're nothing like that.

Didn't Minjae tell you?

No.

Really?

Well, if he didn't want to tell you, there must've been a good reason.

Looks like you know everything about Minjae.

You two must be really close.

[Seohyun] Yeah.

We go all the way back to high school, so...

I heard you're Minjae's first love.

[Seohyun chuckles]

[Youjin] Then how come you two never dated?

That's not true. We used to date.

You two used to date?

[Seohyun] Yeah, for a little over a month.

What, a month?

That doesn't count as dating.

No, you weren't really together.

If that's considered dating,

then there's no one on earth who hasn't dated.

Everyone's dated. Everyone.

Am I wrong?

It just doesn't make any sense.

What do you mean, it doesn't make any sense?

If a man and a woman held hands and kissed,

that means they were dating.

[indistinct chatter]

[sniffles, coughs]

[groans softly]

I also think high school first-love is childish and lame, you know?

It's all in the past anyway.

It doesn't mean anything.

And Kim Sejin.

He's such a sycophant. Okay?

He's a crazy little suck-up.

And why do I even have to compete with him?

Park Minjae is mine anyway.

[Jihoon] He's everyone's sweetheart, as they say.

Exactly. He's so nice to everyone but me.

[Jihoon] If you know that, why even compete with them?

That's my point.

Why on earth should I compete with these people? Why?

[Jihoon] Exactly. Why compete?

I mean, yeah!

Why do I have to compete with them? What for?

[Jihoon] Exactly. So why compete with them?

Exactly. Why do I have to compete with them?

Monkey.

Just take my class for one semester.

All your problems with life and love will be gone.

Okay?

-You sound like a snake oil salesman. -[Jihoon chuckles softly]

Yeah, I'm trying to win you over like one.

If we'd made it official from the start that we were dating,

none of this would've happened.

So, what is it you want to do, exactly?

I'll tell him to make it official, obviously.

What if he doesn't want to?

Then?

Then...

we'll break up, I guess.

Good. You got your answer. Now go.

You're distracting me.

[Minjae] Oh...

[groans]

Goodness.

-Minjae. -[Minjae] Yes?

Want me to massage your shoulders?

[Minjae] No, that's okay. I'm fine.

Just a little.

[Minjae] No, I'm fine. I can use this. [groans]

I used to give all the older members of my family massages.

-Oh boy. -That's how I earned my allowance.

[Minjae] Oh...

-[Sejin grunts] -[Minjae groans]

[door opens]

That's nice.

-[door closes] -[Minjae sighs in relief]

[Minjae moaning]

-[Sejin] Here? -[Minjae groans]

Hi, Youjin.

-Hey. -[Minjae sighs in relief]

-You're really good. -[Sejin grunts]

[Minjae] Gosh, that really hits the spot.

[Minjae groans in relief]

Well, Sejin was just giving me a massage

because I said my shoulders were hurting.

I don't see what's wrong with that.

I'm going to tell Kim Sejin everything.

That we're dating.

We already talked about this.

I heard about Seohyun too.

You two used to date?

From now on, don't meet up with her alone or have her over at your place.

Don't go over to hers, either.

I can't promise that.

I mean, when she said we dated,

all that happened was we joked about dating

if we ended up at the same college.

And even then, it didn't last a month.

It was really nothing.

I heard you kissed too.

That was barely a kiss.

She's talking about the time during a drinking game.

I didn't feel a thing, and I don't even remember it.

This is really unfair.

You're my first, I swear.

You were pretty good for your first time, though.

What...

You were better than...

What about you? I bet...

you kissed plenty of other guys too, right?

[Youjin scoffs]

Yes, tons of times.

I've dated tons of guys.

Kissing, making out, and everything else.

I've done it all tons of times.

Everything else?

But that's all in the past.

I'm not in touch with any of them anymore. I've cut all ties.

I'm not saying you should never see her again.

You just can't meet up with her alone or have her over at your place.

You can't even do that for me?

No, I can't.

[Youjin] Why not?

Like I said, she's my best friend.

Your girlfriend should be your best friend. Me.

Hey, the professor wants to see me. I have to go.

So you're okay with not seeing me anymore?

Are you okay with not seeing me?

Do you realize what you're saying?

Of course I do. You think I don't?

Okay. Fine.

[Youjin] What do you mean, fine?

That you can't see me anymore.

I get it.

[grunts]

What if I can't see her anymore?

I'm going to nip those nasty little games in the bud. Jeez.

[Hangyeol] Move it forward first.

Now backward.

To the right.

To the left.

Now, to the right.

-Are we done? -Yeah, we're done.

How do the peak torque and left-right balance look?

They're all good.

-Yeah? -Yes.

Don't we need to work on posture control too?

[Minjae] Yeah.

Guys, we need the results by the end of next month.

Okay?

That's going to be tight.

Good work, guys.

Let's call it a day.

[flushing]

[cellphone vibrates]

[Minjae] Go ahead and wait for me at my place. I'll be there soon.

[Youjin] So you promise?

[Minjae] What promise?

Don't start with me.

[Youjin] What if Kim Sejin is there?

[Minjae] He went to Daejeon for a family gathering.

[Youjin] I don't know the passcode to your place.

[Minjae] The day we first met.

-[♪ gentle music playing] -[giggles]

[door lock chimes]

[door opens]

[door lock chimes]

SLAM DUNK

[♪ gentle music continues playing]

[♪ music fades]

[Jaehong] Yeah. Spring brides are always the prettiest.

-You picked a good date. -[Seohyun chuckles]

Congratulations.

Yeah, thank you. [chuckles]

It's at the wedding hall on campus.

You'll come, right?

Distance doesn't matter. Of course I'll come.

She's my favorite, you know, student.

[chuckles softly] You promise?

[Jaehong] Of course. See?

Everyone else is finding someone and settling down.

Park Minjae, what's wrong with you?

Me? Why are you suddenly making this about me? [chuckles]

Wouldn't it be great to meet someone and take her to the States?

Do you know anyone you could set him up with?

[sighs] He's really picky, so...

I know.

I wonder which lucky lady will end up with our Minjae.

If not in Korea, maybe she's in the States?

His soulmate, I mean.

Maybe she's American?

[Seohyun] Yeah, maybe.

Or maybe she's nearby.

[Seohyun laughs]

[door closes]

-[Seohyun] Looks like they cleaned up. -[Minjae grunts]

[sighs]

I heard the school wedding hall is really hard to book.

-How did you manage to get it? -[Seohyun scoffs]

I've got my ways.

I'll share them with you when you get married.

[Minjae] No more late-night calls, I guess.

No more calling each other up to catch a movie on the weekend,

or randomly taking off for the beach on a freezing winter day.

So, what, you're happy about it?

You're saying it's a good thing?

[Minjae] No, I'm saying...

We're moving on to the next chapter of our lives.

[Seohyun] Minjae.

[Minjae] Yes?

Instead of a wedding gift, I'd like to ask you a favor.

[Minjae] What is it?

Do you need anything?

Could you sing at my wedding?

-What? Sing at your wedding? -[Seohyun] Yes, sing.

[chuckles] Come on, you're a great singer. You're the only one I can ask.

Hey, wake up.

This isn't karaoke after some work dinner.

This is your wedding, a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Well, who knows?

It could be once, it could be twice... [snickers]

Come on. Do it for me.

[scoffs]

Mr. Nam seriously needs his eyes checked.

What does he even see in you?

I feel so bad for the guy. I really do.

[Seohyun] So you're not doing it?

Of course not. I can't.

Me? Sing at a wedding?

Really? [sighs]

Then I'll tell the guys.

[Minjae] Tell them what?

She seriously needs her eyes checked.

What does she even see in a loser like you?

She's just young and naive

and doesn't know how the world works, am I right? [snickers]

She has no clue how petty and obnoxious our dear Park Minjae is.

Imagine what that pretty girl will have to go through.

I already feel sorry for her.

I really do.

[♪ lively music playing]

So are you going to sing or not?

[♪ lively music continues playing]

[doorbell rings]

[♪ music fades]

Wait, excuse me.

Yes?

Who are you?

What do you mean, who am I?

And who are you?

I'm Park Minjae's girlfriend.

[♪ piano music playing]

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Lim Youjin?

[Youjin] Yes.

Can I just call you Youjin?

Or Ms. Youjin?

Please, just call me Youjin.

And feel free to be casual with me.

[chuckles softly] I will, once we get a little closer.

Minjae never told me about his girlfriend, so I was surprised.

[softly] Thank you.

[Eunjoo] So are you in the same lab as him?

At Seohan National University?

Yes.

It's so cool to see a woman studying robotics.

[chuckles softly] I'm just learning.

I don't really know much yet.

It's really cool.

And you and Minjae look great together.

Your parents must be so happy to have a cool daughter like you.

[chuckling] Not at all.

What do your parents do?

[Youjin] They run a small auto repair shop.

Pardon?

An auto repair shop.

Oh... For cars.

Cars are machines too. [inhales]

Looks like you inherited your parents' talents.

What about your mother?

Is she a housewife?

She works at the auto repair shop too.

She's a mechanic too?

She does the bookkeeping.

She handles the receipts and finances for the shop.

Right. I thought she was a mechanic too. You surprised me there.

[chuckles]

Do you have any siblings?

I have a brother who's a year older than me.

[Eunjoo] A year older, that means...

He's 26.

He must be a student then.

No, he works at the auto repair shop too.

Your family sounds so close-knit.

It's really lovely.

[door lock chimes]

[door lock chimes]

Youjin.

It was nice meeting you today.

I had a great time.

[Youjin] Sure.

Uh... And I'd appreciate it

if you didn't tell Minjae that we met today.

He's going to give me an earful for meeting you without him.

He's so bossy with me.

Please don't tell Minjae.

Can you do that for me?

[chuckles softly] Okay.

[Eunjoo] Thank you.

Oh... Hop in. I'll drive you home.

No, it's okay. I can get home pretty quickly by bus.

Your car's here.

[Eunjoo] Do you live near here?

Yes.

Where do you live?

Bongcheon-dong.

Bongcheon-dong? Is the auto repair shop in Bongcheon-dong too?

Yes.

What's the name of the auto repair shop?

I'm just curious.

[sighs]

[cellphone vibrating]

[clears throat] Hey.

Where are you?

[♪ soft music playing]

I'm home too.

My mom wanted me home early, so I came back.

Ah...

Sorry I got home so late.

You just did chores all day and left, didn't you?

[Youjin] Yeah.

You can do them next time.

We'll take turns.

Okay. I'll make you something good next time.

Thanks for this.

Bye.

[line disconnects]

CHEIL AUTO REPAIR SHOP

Let's watch baseball, not the soap opera.

It's almost over.

Just wait.

[woman on TV] I've always wanted to ask you this, Hyeri.

We got a car.

Come on.

[woman on TV] Junil...

-[Youseong] Hello. Welcome! -[Yongseok] Welcome.

Hello.

The brakes aren't working right. Could you take a look?

[Yongseok] Sure.

-[Youseong] Is your car key inside? -Yes.

-[Youseong] Please wait inside. -This way.

Okay.

[Miyoung chuckles]

Hello, please have a seat here.

Okay.

[Miyoung] Would you like something to drink?

Yeah, sure. Anything's fine.

[Miyoung] Okay.

Is this your first time at our shop?

Yes.

[Miyoung] You don't seem to be from around here.

We don't get many Mercedes owners in this neighborhood.

We haven't worked on that many Mercedes,

but we've done this a long time, so we know our stuff.

-Thank you. -[Miyoung] Sure.

[slurps]

Looks like your brake pads are a bit worn down.

Once replaced, you should be good to go.

Then please go ahead.

Well, the thing is, we don't have the Mercedes parts in stock right now.

You should take it to an authorized service center.

Ah... Really?

Well, I guess I have no choice.

Gosh, I'm sorry I can't help.

No. Don't worry.

We're sorry.

-[Eunjoo] That's all right. -Okay.

[grunts]

[door opens]

Mom?

[Miyoung] Yes. You were home.

-What's that? -[Miyoung] Ah...

This woman came into the shop today.

She looked so elegant, and her skin was just glowing.

You could tell right away she was some wealthy lady. Like really rich.

She even pulled up in a white Mercedes. [gasps]

Wow. [chuckles]

But we didn't have any Mercedes parts, so we told her we couldn't fix it.

Then she apologized for putting us through all that trouble

and said we should at least accept this.

Gosh.

How could someone be so polite and considerate?

Still, you shouldn't accept something like this.

I tried to say no at first.

But then she said she'd received it as a gift herself,

and there weren't enough people in her family to finish it all,

so it would just go bad.

She gave it to us because it'd go bad? What are we, beggars?

What do you mean, beggars?

[Youjin] You still shouldn't have accepted it.

What do you think she'll think of us?

She gave it to us as an apology.

Who gives something like this as an apology?

Stop watching those soap operas all day and read a book once in a while.

Use your brain for once and get some common sense.

No wonder you bring home stuff like some beggar.

Don't you have any pride, Mom?

God, seriously.

[Youjin breathing heavily]

-[Miyoung sobs] -[Youjin sighs]

[whimpering]

[♪ emotional music playing]

[sniffing, sobbing]

[Miyoung sniffles]

Mom.

Mom, I'm sorry.

Mom, I was wrong. [sobs]

Mom, I'm sorry.

Mom, I'm sorry. [crying]

I was wrong.

Mom. [crying]

Mom, I'm sorry.

Mom, I'm sorry.

[Miyoung] No, I'm sorry.

TWO PEOPLE

[Minjae singing] ♪ After a long day ♪

♪ Two people beneath the moonlight ♪

[in normal voice] Is this right?

This... And...

PLEDGE OF LOVE

[singing] ♪ The moment I've longed for ♪

[sighs]

-[line connects, rings] -[Youjin sighs]

I think anything would be fine.

I don't know much about music.

[Minjae] Come on.

There must be a song you like.

Or something you'd want to hear.

If you can think of one, I'll sing it for you.

[♪ gentle music playing]

If you sing at night, ghosts will come out.

[Minjae] Wasn't it snakes?

The thing that comes out if you sing at night. Snakes.

[Youjin] That's what the flute does.

If you play the flute, snakes come out.

If you sing, ghosts come out.

What happened to your voice, by the way?

Are you feeling unwell?

Are you sick?

No, I'm not.

I'm fine.

[sighs] Just sing something old. Something classic.

Okay.

I'll do more research.

Okay.

Bye.

[coordinator] Seohyun, let's get ready for your entrance.

Okay.

[crowd clapping]

Light the candles.

-Here. -Subin. Thanks so much.

Seohyun, here.

[Seohyun] Thank you. We got this!

They met at the same company as a researcher and a team leader,

and now they've promised to become a team for life.

As they take the first step on their long journey together,

please greet them with your loudest cheers and applause.

Please welcome the bride and groom!

-[♪ lively music playing] -[applause]

[♪ music fades]

[applauding, cheering]

Next, the couple will exchange rings as a symbol of their love.

Groom, please place the ring on the bride's finger,

and bride, please place the ring on the groom's.

Next, the couple will exchange wedding vows,

committing themselves to each other for life.

We ask everyone here to bear witness

as they recite their promises of love.

[Yoonsoo] "Wedding Vow."

[♪ gentle music playing]

"When I think of our future together,

the first thing I picture is a life filled with warmth and happiness.

But I also know that the road ahead

won't always be easy or filled only with good times."

[Yoonsoo] "Difficult moments will come,

but just as we have until now, we will face them hand in hand,

trusting and cherishing one another."

"We will always put each other first,

express our love and gratitude without holding back,

and build a loving life together."

[both] "Before everyone gathered here today, we sincerely vow to love each other

for all the years to come just as we do in this moment,

and to be the best friend either of us could ever ask for."

"Groom Nam Yoonsoo."

"Bride Cha Seohyun."

[host] Please give them a big round of applause.

[applauding]

Next, we have a special song for the bride and groom.

It will be performed by the bride's longtime friend, Park Minjae.

[Minjae in normal voice] Hey.

I love you.

Do you love me too?

Why would you ask me all of a sudden?

You love me at least a little, right?

Probably not as much as my mom does, though.

No one in the world loves me as much as she does.

So...

if anyone messes with or hurts my mom or anyone else in my family,

I will never let that slide.

But that's a different story.

You didn't do anything wrong.

What?

I got to be with someone far too good for me,

so even if I have to suffer or be punished for it someday,

I don't care. So be it.

Park Minjae is mine.

I'm never letting anyone take you away from me.

You're mine.

No one can ever take you away from me.

Have you been drinking?

No. I didn't. I'm completely sober.

[Minjae chuckles softly]

I love you.

[♪ music fades]

[mouthing] Me too.

-Hmm? -[Minjae] Hmm?

[♪ gentle music builds]

If you didn't hear it, never mind.

I did.

I love you.

Me too.

BETWEEN STEPS

[♪ lively music playing]

Turn a bit this way.

I don't think you like me that much.

-Hello. -[Minjae] Yes.

[Sejin] Isn't she ridiculously pretty?

I can't believe she's Lim Youjin's friend.

And you'd still save Subin over me?

But how could I set her up with that nutjob Kim Sejin?

What? What are you doing here?

[Sejin] I don't know why you're trying to get close with Minjae,

but he's a completely different kind of person from you.

Let's save that kiss for home.

You're cute.
