Original subtitles

I don't have the confidence

to be a good person to someone.

I'm bad at expressing myself, and I'm emotionally numb.

So chances are... I'll disappoint you a lot.

If you're okay with that...

I'm in!

Let's do it!

Friends!

Friends?

- FWB! - Clear the way!

- Out of the way! - Cardiac arrest!

- Cardiac arrest! - Please move!

Let us pass!

- What? - Friends with benefits!

Oh, you're awake.

Fortunately, there are no broken bones.

It's just a light sprain, so don't overdo it. You can go.

- Well, excuse me, Doctor! - Yes?

By any chance, did you scan her head too?

Her head? It looked fine.

Why, are you feeling uncomfortable?

No, I'm perfectly fine.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

[Episode 8] I'm telling you, it's not a good idea.

We're just trying to see each other without any pressure.

I am feeling pressure.

Why?

Am I really that unattractive?

Seriously, do you even know what FWB means when you say that?

I know that much.

It's a relationship where you mutually exchange just what's physically necessary.

I know.

A relationship with no interference, jealousy,

or emotional communion whatsoever.

I said that I know.

Whether I meet, sleep with, or date another woman other than you,

you have no right to get mad.

I said I know!

Gong Nam Su! Aren't you coming?

Hold on.

Dr. Park Chang Su, attending physician.

Bruised while working out.

X-rays clear, I just tripped.

Perfect!

Let's ditch the crutches.

Probably for the best, right?

Oh, right, Yeon Su!

What?

I'll tell them about that myself, so keep your mouth shut, okay?

Fine, understood.

If you're done plotting, head inside.

The elders will worry.

Okay, Mr. Dokgo. Thanks for the ride.

And...

I'm going to talk to Si Eun a bit more...

Right...

- Okay. - What's with you two?

- Wait, you knew? - Well...

I told him.

Why would you tell Mr. Dokgo Dal? I'm your sister.

I just...

wanted to talk to an adult man.

Let's talk tomorrow at work.

Work?

Wait, you two work at the same company?

Then, you work at an adult toy company too?

- No, I don't. - She was dispatched.

Totally out of sync!

I'm just on dispatch...

No way! Gong Yeon Su, you're crazy!

That actually puts my mind at ease.

Hey, you watch your mouth too!

Don't worry!

I haven't done this in ages.

Ancestors!

An... Ancestors.

- Ancestors? - We swear to keep the secret before them.

What are you waiting for? Put your hand on top.

What?

- Me too? - You know two of our secrets.

Who on earth would I tell them to?

You just blabbed earlier.

No needless words, just swear it!

They're not even my ancestors, they're total strangers' spirits...

Just do it already.

An... Ancestors!

Okay!

Oh, dear! What happened to you?

How were you playing basketball?

There's not a single uninjured spot on you?

Messing around so carelessly with an exam coming up... Goodness!

Are you taking the exam with your body?

As long as his head is fine, that's what matters. Poor thing...

My precious eldest grandson...

How did you hurt yourself?

I fell! I slipped getting off the bus...

You should've been careful.

If you had a husband to drive you around, would this have happened?

Dad, is Nam Su's leg a pillar while Yeon Su's is firewood?

Why blame only Yeon Su?

I should just propose to anyone on the street.

Don't rebel by gambling with your life.

- That's how I ended up divorced. - Stop bickering and just go inside.

Besides, this is nothing! You know when I was little?

My brother, I mean, your dad fell, and I fell into a poop-pit, huh?

Do you remember that, Dad?

You helped my brother up first,

and only rescued me after that!

I broke out in rashes all over from the sewage,

and had to rub soybean paste all the way to my fingertips!

Mom, that paste you made, I had to smear it everywhere!

- Remember that? Seriously? - Good grief!

Stop bringing that up! Go inside already! Oh, my goodness!

- I can bring it up for three more years... - In this family

where sons are pillars and daughters are firewood,

my aunt rebelled dramatically through marriage and divorce.

And I...

I broke the mold silently in a different way.

[The Psychology of Men Who Want FWB: Why?]

[Opportunistic thinking: Craving sex without responsibility!]

[Self-defense mechanism: Straddling between friendship and sex!]

[Rules are essential for the relationship!]

Should I bring out more fresh kimchi?

- Do you want more fresh kimchi? - I'm good.

Come on, you need to eat well to heal faster.

Yeon Su, why don't you bring Yoon Jio home one more time?

What? Why him all of a sudden?

So we can play Go together.

Grandpa, why would you play Go with him?

Then, do you want to go on a blind date?

Grandpa!

What good is bringing two men home if nothing comes of it?

No matter how much rice is in the pantry,

you'll starve if you don't cook it!

So is that why you're cooking it for her, Dad?

But why Yoon Jio of all people?

Yeon Su needs to have at least one child.

And for that, she needs someone to plant the seed.

Stop complaining and bring him over.

Please, Grandpa, I'll take care of it myself.

Will you take care of it after I'm in my coffin?

Enough. Don't talk back anymore.

I can't bring him.

What did you say?

He's just a coworker.

There's no reason for him to visit our house.

I'm late for work, so I'll get going.

Hey, hold on!

Thank you for the meal.

Why not eat more?

I'm also full.

Goodness, look at him...

Dad, turning thirty next year means she's still in her prime.

Honestly, I'm the one in a rush, not her!

- Isn't there any decent divorcee for me? - You!

One kid would be nice, though it's too late for me to give birth now.

Gosh, if I'd known, I would've frozen my eggs.

- Jeez... - Mi Young.

Didn't you say you were going to the mineral spring?

Me? The spring...

Right, I did! Wow, I totally did!

Thanks!

Here's some scorched rice water.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, dear...

- Oh, no... - You...

- This is... Ouch! - Oh, dear...

I seriously wish I could just marry out and leave...

Aren't you going to be late if you're leaving just now?

Wait, why are you here at this hour?

How are you feeling?

Don't tell me you came to pick me up?

Well, you got hurt because of me, carpooling is the least I can do.

Besides, it's on my way...

Let's go.

Wait, do friends with benefits usually pick each other up like this?

Well, we're friends.

And this is the benefit?

The benefit.

[Two Months Pregnant]

[Morning sickness begins]

Ah, no wonder. Morning sickness must be worse by now.

Nam Su.

Nam Su!

Why are you coming out of there?

Oh, I came to borrow this.

Nam Su.

Yeah?

Is someone in this house dating?

Your sister, I mean.

Why flip your sentence structure like that, Mom? You scared me!

I saw her getting in some guy's car in front of the house just now.

Really? I don't know.

- You really don't know? - I don't.

Ask her yourself.

Is that so?

Clean your room once in a while.

Mom.

What?

- Back when you were pregnant with me... - Yeah?

Did you have morning sickness too?

Where is this coming from all of a sudden?

Just curious.

It was better than when I had your sister,

but it was pretty bad with you too.

Is it... really tough?

Don't even ask! It felt like being seasick all day long.

I barely survived on the plum extract your grandmother made.

Strangely enough, that was the only thing that settled my stomach.

Plum extract?

Do we have any at home?

We do. Want some?

No, later...

What?

Is your stomach upset?

No, no, I'm fine.

Hurry up and go to the academy.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Plum extract.

Here.

What's this?

A bagel shop opened nearby.

You bought it for me?

I bought it for myself, but it was buy-one-get-one-free.

I usually prefer rice for breakfast,

but I'll enjoy it.

The one marked there is the latte.

Oh, latte! Sweet!

I gave it some thought yesterday.

About what?

Twice a week. No more than that.

Twice?

Why?

Is that... too little?

Then... three times? But every other week.

Every other week?

And no motels.

I'd rather do it at home.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Just eat the bagel.

Okay...

Also, too bright is a bit much.

I know you hate the dark, Mr. Dokgo Dal,

but if it's too bright, it's embarrassing.

A single lampshade light is fine.

What did you write there? Let me see.

No, you can't!

- Is there more? - Huh? No, not at all!

- Give it to me. - No, no way!

That's all of it. I'm done. Thank you for the food!

Can I take it away?

Just eat it.

[Hello. I'm inquiring again regarding product purchases.]

[I looked into all the women's and couples' products you recommended...]

[Hello, Munch. This is Loand...] Man, he sure has a lot of questions.

Buy something first before asking.

What's the problem?

He said he wanted to get a gift for his wife, so I recommended a bunch,

but he doesn't have the courage to actually give it to her.

I recommended couple products,

but he says it's just a lease, so they don't even dare use it.

What does he want me to do?

You said he's a new customer, right?

He just inquired about men's products a moment ago.

What's the point of explaining everything?

He hasn't bought anything for months.

Just keeps asking the same over and over.

Am I an answering machine?

Since it's his first time, he must be nervous.

His inner desires and guilt are probably at war.

- His username is Munch, right? - Yes.

Last time, he asked if we could package it in a prostate supplement box.

He said his family must never find out. He's pretty creative.

So, did you do it?

How could I do it when he never bought it?

How about giving him points or coupons?

Right! Don't give them to guys like Peter Panty, give them to Munch!

I should bring that up at the meeting.

What about the performance report? Did you hand it over?

Yeah. JC Investment's reaction was better than expected.

They're even talking about an offline store.

Did you talk to Ms. Yeon Su?

- What did she say? - Just...

that we should get along.

Excuse me, not between you two.

Does our marketer seem likely to stay on good terms with our company?

Well, probably?

I'll do my own laundry!

It'll get wrinkled, just leave it.

Stop doing the kids' laundry too.

I like doing it.

You're really something!

Goodness...

What's going on? What is it...

What is this?

Encyclopedia of Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Childcare?

I found it in Yeon Su's room.

What do you think this means?

Th-This... is...

Why would she have this?

Oh, she probably needs it for work reference, right?

Yeon Su has all sorts of books in her room!

Last time, I even saw that book, "The Humanities of Poop"!

I didn't find it on the bookshelf, but under her bed.

Well, that's... because she didn't want people to get the wrong idea...

Even after seeing this?

Wh-What's this?

Oh, my gosh... She's lost her mind!

Is Yeon Su pregnant?

Keep your voice down!

She went on a rampage unboxing this.

I knew it would come to this! I really did!

Yeon Su has a man.

Seeing him pick her up in front of the house this morning,

they can't just be casual.

Then it's not Candidate Number One, it's Number Two!

Number Two? If it's Number Two...

Yoon Jio! Don't you remember?

They said Dokgo Dal has azoospermia!

What are we going to do?

Oh dear, this is an emergency! What do we...

What are you going to do about this?

We have to find out the truth first.

I'm so full. I ate too much!

Should we bet coffee on that?

Ladies sit back, only men step up.

Why, looking for a way to use your muscles?

Come on, you'll get hurt. This is surprisingly heavy.

Shall we give it a shot? Just for fun!

Forget it. I'll buy the coffee.

True. My kick might be weaker than yours, but my punch is stronger.

Looks like you'll have to buy it anyway.

All right, I'll go first!

830?

Look at you, not bad!

Mr. Yoon! That's really strong.

You were great at batting last time too.

Ah, my rotational power is good.

I was super close

with the baseball team in high school.

Oh, three tries?

Min Hyeong, you hit the last one too.

Should I?

Are you going to hit it?

You must be confused. My kick is stronger,

and my punch is stronger too.

You were only better than me at claw machines, remember?

Practice and try again!

Oh, I'm suddenly getting a call.

Um, hello?

I'll go get the coffee!

Wait, I'll come with you!

Did you see that? Ms. Yeon Su smiled.

Hey, let's settle this.

Did you ask her out?

Are we kids? Asking out loud to start dating?

If you don't say it, how do you confirm the feelings?

Why? Are you curious?

Not really! I know your pattern all too well.

But Ms. Yeon Su doesn't know, though.

Should I tell her?

Even if her heart is with you, her family's heart is with me.

You have no idea how much her grandfather adores me.

Have you ever had the stewed hen her mother made?

- What? - I have.

Hey! That's foul play! Come on!

That's technique.

- One more time! - Just admit it.

You lost.

Then let's do the claw machine! The claw machine!

What are you doing here?

Are you two playing games?

Stop that and come outside.

Hey, wait for me!

I'm heading out first!

Are you going home?

For once, my husband wants to eat out.

We're going for all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu. See you tomorrow!

I'll get going too!

Who are you flirting with tonight?

A sexy lady who buys me good food.

Fighting!

Guess I should get going too.

You're leaving already, Mr. Yoon?

I have dinner plans. See you tomorrow!

[How to make pasta]

[Becoming a sexy guy who cooks] A sexy guy who cooks...

[Home date! Easy and simple Aglio e Olio]

Aglio e Olio?

Mr. Dal, I was about to head home...

Let's grab dinner.

At my place.

Care for a game of Go?

What Go?

Five-in-a-row?

No, thanks.

Flicking stones?

Do you know how to play Go?

I only know how to place the stones!

- Put it in. - Is he asking for his number?

- Pardon? - Put your number in.

- Oh, yes, sir! - No, you can't!

It's fine, he won't call.

Come over next time for a match.

Just call me, and I'll come running!

Alright.

Well, feeding you counts as dinner plans too.

Hello?

Oh, yes!

[In Use]

Hey, Ms. Gong. What's up?

Whoa, slow down a bit!

Is it finally game time?

That's not what's important!

I...

Yeah, what?

Today,

my underwear doesn't match!

And?

Top and bottom don't match at all!

Different colors, different fabrics!

Should I just tell him to do it next time?

You're taking them off anyway, who cares if it's mismatched or rags?

Still... it feels wrong!

If I saved all the money I spent on lingerie,

I could've opened an underwear boutique in Gangnam.

It's all pointless, you know?

Sera!

So don't worry and just do it! I'm hanging up.

Wait! Wait, listen!

Aw, so cute!

Seriously!

Right.

Instead of stripping piece by piece,

let's take it all off at once.

Yeah, that works! It'll be fine.

Quickly...

Yeah. I'll just get it over with in one go.

- Hello? - Get what over with?

Oh, Mom!

Overtime... I meant...

getting my work done in one shot...

Do you have to work overtime today?

Yeah... I really want to...

I mean, I have to. Why?

Never mind. We'll talk when you get home.

What was that about?

She says she's working overtime and will be late.

Why does she always do this at times like this?

Baek Hee, do we have any makgeolli left?

Oh, yes! Are you feeling peckish?

You just had dinner not long ago.

Serve it later with some cabbage pancakes.

- Later? - I have a guest coming over.

Oh, yes!

To be honest,

I thought I'd have to take the stairs again,

so I was secretly worried.

Still, since I've been here once, it feels familiar.

I really have no idea what he's thinking.

Sauté the garlic in olive oil... Wait, there's no garlic!

He wouldn't just jump right into it the moment we get here, right?

They probably won't deliver a single bag of garlic.

Should I go buy some?

Wait...

Where's the bathroom?

Oh, over there.

- Ms. Gong Yeon Su. - Yes?

I'll step out for a moment. It won't take long.

Okay, see you soon.

Still, this isn't right. Why am I here?

But, how could I turn down an elder's invitation?

He even called me directly.

Oh, you're here!

Baek Hee! Our guest is here!

Hello, sir!

Welcome. Have you eaten?

- Not yet, sir! - All right, come on in!

This is truly a feast.

You said you haven't eaten. Go ahead and dig in.

Yes, eat plenty.

- Thank you for the meal. - Of course!

Seeing you rush over the moment Father called

means you must be quite close with Yeon Su.

I'm here today as his Go buddy, not as Yeon Su's friend.

Trying to win over the elders first, are we?

Come by more often. Your feet need to get used to our threshold

if you're going to join the family, don't you think?

Oh, the family?

If only that could happen, that would be wonderful.

- The more I look, the better he seems. - Indeed!

Does Yeon Su know you're here, Mr. Yoon?

I haven't told her yet.

Stop interrogating him and let him eat in peace.

Eat up, round two is cabbage pancakes and makgeolli!

Yes, sir!

He has no idea, does he?

Here, have some fish too.

Who is it?

Delivery!

What?

Si Eun, it's me.

Nam Su?

Why didn't you answer when you were home?

I was worried.

Eat this. There were so many orders for these dumplings,

so I bought some for you too.

And here.

It's plum extract. They say it helps with an upset stomach.

What are you doing

- right now? - Working my part-time job!

My leg felt better than I thought,

so eat everything you want

until next week.

Si Eun!

Your choice is my choice.

I'll take full responsibility, okay?

So don't worry about anything.

Heat up the dumplings before you eat them!

Why...

Why do you always make me the bad guy?

Maybe just one glass...

Oh, wait...

I pressed the wrong button...

What do I do?

Just leave it.

It's a preset for the lighting I usually use.

Ah... lighting...

Would you like a glass of wine?

You're already having one.

I was... thirsty...

How about some simple pasta for dinner?

Are you good at cooking?

Well... somewhat?

So this is?

Aglio... e Olio...

Yes, Aglio e Olio.

No vampire would dare come close.

That's an interesting review.

Is it really that inedible?

You haven't cooked much, have you?

Actually, the first dish I made after moving here

was the cheonggukjang your mother gave me.

What?

You actually cooked that?

Normally, I would've thrown the ingredients out,

but strangely, I really wanted to try making what she gave me.

Was it because it was the first time

someone had prepared a meal for me?

I thought things like soul food

or Mom's cooking were all meaningless.

But,

I just didn't have anyone to share my feelings with.

Can I ask you

why did you disappear that day?

Well...

because you weren't there.

It wasn't unexpected.

As long as we had a good time, that's what counts.

We missed each other.

I went out to buy breakfast for us.

It was my first time

wanting to share my heart and eat breakfast

with someone.

Whenever I'm with you,

I keep doing things I've never done before.

I even get to know emotions I didn't know.

I get the courage to try something... Oh!

S-Sorry.

I got a little dizzy...

Just 30 seconds.

No, just one minute...

If you back down like that, you lose territory, right?

I had to survive first.

You survived, but there's no flavor in that play.

Are you always so passive in your games?

I'm a pacifist by nature, sir.

That's why you only end up helping others.

Because you dodged, the guy next to you took the prize, see?

I lost. Still, I don't regret my move.

- Come visit often. - Compared to me,

playing with your friends would be much more fun.

As you can see, my play style is pretty bland.

It used to be.

But they're all... gone.

Gone where?

- One more game? - Yes, sir!

Sleep some more.

I'll wake you up in an hour.

Does this mean... we're doing it now?

My underwear doesn't match today, so I can't...

Just shoot me... Kill me now...

My phone!

Wait, what time is it?

Oh, no! I'm so dead!

I'm sorry.

I should've woken you up, but I fell asleep too.

No, it's fine. Go back to sleep. I have to rush home.

I'll drive you.

Man, what time is it?

My arm...

My whole body aches...

Gosh...

Ouch!

You're up.

You scared me!

Have you been waiting up like this the whole time?

What about Yeon Su?

Seriously...

Why would overtime last until this hour?

Go inside and get some sleep. I'll wake you when she arrives.

Children carve out their own paths,

but I never expected her to cross the line so quietly.

Maybe I've been holding onto her too tightly all this time.

Why is that your fault?

You know the Gongs. Once they fixate on something, they see it through.

It's in the genes! In the genes!

She's just faithfully carrying on our family tradition.

By the way, doesn't his back hurt sleeping on the floor?

Why is he still lying there instead of going home?

How many bottles of makgeolli did they drink?

Seriously, Dad...

Hey! Gong Nam Su!

Yeon Su!

And... Mr. Dokgo?

Are you just getting home now?

Wait, did you two stay out all night together?

- Overtime. - We fell asleep.

Great timing!

We fell asleep while working overtime.

Still completely out of sync?

Whatever, hurry and climb over.

Me?

Me?

My leg is still throbbing...

- Mr. Dokgo... - Huh?

Hey, no way!

- Could you hop over and open the gate? - Wait, hold on!

You can go. We'll handle it ourselves.

How can we handle it when both of us are limping?

Mr. Dokgo, you're very tall!

With your height, one hop is enough!

Hey! How could you make the CEO jump the wall?

Just push that wooden bar to the side!

What are you doing

jumping over our wall at this hour?

Ma'am.

Ah, I'm so dizzy...

Godal!

Yoon Jio, why are you here?

Why are you up there?

This won't work. Let me step on your back.

Me?

M-Mom...

Ms. Gong!

Mr. Yoon?

Nam Su!

Yeon Su, let's talk.

Oh, no!

Everyone... inside.

Grab the popcorn!

Explain yourselves.

We just... finished work late, so Mr. Dokgo Dal gave me a ride home.

I'll make this short. Which one is it?

What?

What do you mean, which one?

Which of the two?

Which... of whom?

By the way, why did you sleep here?

I drank makgeolli with her grandpa and passed out.

Then why did you climb the wall?

The gate was locked.

I can't hear anything. Keep it down.

[Encyclopedia of Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Childcare]

What is... this?

You tell me. There must be a reason you're reading it.

You're pregnant!

What? I'm... what?

You punk, when did you?

Mom! You don't actually think this is mine, do you?

Tell me the truth. Which one is it?

Yeon Su, just tell her! Number one or number two?

- Hey, are you number two? - No way.

- Never... absolutely not... - Wait, which number am I?

Never! I swear it's not me, Mom!

Then why was this book under your bed?

What?

This was under my bed?

You jerk!

Mom, just listen to me first.

- Gong Yeon Su! - It's Gong Nam Su!

It's not me! Gong Nam Su's girlfriend is pregnant!

You traitor!

You've disgraced our ancestors!

You disgraced me, you little jerk!

- What did you hide it under my bed? - Ms. Yeon Su!

Unbelievable!

Total chaos, the truth unfolds.

Gong Nam Su... you...

I'm sorry, Mom! It just happened!

Oh, my!

Good grief!

Mom! She works at a sex toy company!

And those two spent the night together!

- Cut it out! - Is that true?

Gong Yeon Su, answer me!

I like her.

I have feelings for Ms. Yeon Su.
