EPISODE 10
[siren wailing in distance]
She said she suddenly couldn't breathe properly.
That she's having trouble breathing.
Was she in a car accident?
No, not a car accident. It's just her breathing.
Please fill out this registration form first.
By any chance, did she mention having any chest pain?
What kind of chest pain?
Like a stabbing pain or something like that.
Ah.
-Excuse me for a second. -Okay.
-I'm sorry. Just a second. -Sure.
[line ringing]
Yes, hello?
Yeah, where are you now?
What?
[door opens]
[door closes]
[footsteps approaching]
[Youjin sighs]
Are you feeling better now?
How's your breathing?
Does your chest hurt or feel tight or anything?
Yeah, I'm okay now.
I feel better.
I was praying.
I said
I was thankful that Minjae's surgery and chemo went well,
and that he survived.
And I prayed he'd stay healthy,
just like he is now.
And then...
I prayed he'd meet someone better than me, someone good for him,
and live a happy life with her.
Is that all you prayed for?
You didn't pray for Lee Jihoon's success or happiness?
No, I didn't.
That's stingy of you.
You're not even a Christian anyway.
Christian or not, I believe in God. I pray, too.
What about you?
You're not a Christian either.
[Youjin sighs]
Please keep our Professor Lee Jihoon healthy
and let everything he does go smoothly.
Just let everything work out for him, no matter what.
Please keep Lim Youjin healthy and happy, too.
I hope she'll never have to suffer heartbreak or get hurt again.
And...
I pray that she'll smile a lot more when she's with me.
Amen.
Amen!
[chuckling] Gosh.
Right.
I didn't want to come empty-handed.
Here's your Christmas present.
[♪ light pleasant music playing]
You said you got me something.
Hey, sorry. I left it at... home.
Hmm.
Did you buy this for me?
Hey, give me that.
Oh, oh, oh.
Fine. It's a special occasion, so... here.
-What is it? -Guess.
What is it? Is it expensive?
Well, it's kind of expensive.
It's yellow.
[in English] Yellow?
-Yellow? -[in Korean] Yeah.
And it's sparkly.
-Yellow and sparkly. -Yeah.
[in English] Gold?
[scoffs]
[in Korean] You know how expensive gold is these days.
Thank you.
Thanks.
[giggling]
I made them.
Sparkly.
Hmm.
It's not store-bought. It's handmade.
Yeah.
Didn't you have black yarn or anything?
Hmm... There was no black yarn.
This was the only lambswool yarn I had left at home.
You could've bought some.
I could have. But I was too busy to go buy any.
Aren't they cute, though?
And what did you get for me?
If it's not chocolate, what did you get?
I didn't get you anything.
I lied. I didn't get you anything. So take these back.
I'm hungry.
Want to have some ramyeon?
[♪ somber music playing]
[sighs]
[sighs]
-[♪ lively music playing over speakers] -[staff] Welcome.
[woman] Dajeong! Over here.
Look at the shrimp and abalone.
It's good here, isn't it?
Yeah.
This is my secret spot, so keep it to yourself.
[sighs]
What?
What do you think he was thinking?
Huh?
Because of me,
because he didn't want me to worry,
he broke up with me without even telling me he was sick.
Does that make any sense to you?
It just sounds like bullshit to me.
-Right? It's bullshit. -Yeah.
[exclaims]
And then he had the nerve to tell me...
He told me to let it all out,
and live happily ever after with my husband.
That's bullshit too.
[Youjin] Yeah.
It's a little spicy.
Can I get a beer...
Me too.
What do you want? Beer or highball?
Either one.
-[phone vibrating] -Then beer.
[bell rings, musical chime]
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Who are you? Say something.
I think you have the wrong number. If you're not going to talk, I'll hang up.
Hey, it's me.
It's Park Minjae.
Well, I was wondering if you got home okay or if something happened.
I was worried.
[Jihoon] Who's that? Who's calling?
I can't really talk right now. Next time...
I've got to go.
[line disconnects]
[♪ somber music playing]
[sighs]
[sighs]
[sighs]
[bell tolling in distance]
Thank you.
Aren't you going in?
Aren't you going to go in?
It's cold.
Why are you holding my hand without asking?
Why not?
What's the big deal?
What's wrong with holding your hand?
Your hand is so cold, you can't feel a thing.
You barely had any beer, and you're acting like a total drunk.
I'm never going to drink with you again.
I'm not acting like a drunk. I'm not drunk.
Then what is it?
Is it because of Park Minjae?
If you can't get over him and you like him that much,
then get back together with him.
Don't you start crying here.
Don't you dare.
Do whatever you want.
Give me those.
Give me those silly yellow gloves. They're mine.
[muttering] What's wrong with him?
[Jihoon sighs]
If I...
If I asked you out, would you say yes?
What?
I did get you a gift.
A bracelet.
It's real gold, not gold-plated or anything.
Because it was pretty.
The second I saw it, I thought of you.
So I bought it without a second thought.
If I give you that and ask you out,
will you accept it?
What are you going to do?
What's your answer?
I'm not sure
what you're talking about.
Fine.
You wait right here.
MOM AND DAD ARE GOING TO HONGCHEON
THERE'S CURRY IN THE POT, SO HELP YOURSELF
AND DON'T FIGHT, YOU TWO!
What does he even mean?
What am I supposed to do?
[sighs]
[sighs]
LIM YOUJIN MOBILE 010-0646-7905
[sighs]
[sighs]
[sighs]
Subin! Subin!
-Subin! Here. Over here. -Oh!
Sorry, I'm late.
No, you're not late at all. The bus isn't even here.
Ah...
Oh, right.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Give me the bag.
What? No, I'm fine.
[chuckles softly]
[Sejin clears throat]
Oh.
Is that your snowboard?
Ah. Yes.
That's cool.
Uh, it's not expensive or anything.
I just have one because I like snowboarding.
It's cool.
This... It's not hard at all.
You'll pick it up in no time. I can teach you.
Okay.
-Put this in your pocket. -[chuckles]
Thank you.
[phone vibrating]
One second.
Okay.
Yes, hello?
Yes.
Yes.
Minjae!
Have you been well?
Yeah. Me too.
Well, I've been busy.
Just frantic.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Of course. Yeah.
Tomorrow?
You're busy?
If you're busy, don't worry about it.
Yeah.
Okay, then let's meet up with everyone.
We can just meet all together. Yeah.
Okay.
-Sejin. -Yeah.
The bus is here.
All right.
[♪ intriguing music playing]
This is the bus, right?
Should we put it in here?
Yeah.
[chuckles]
Here's the ticket.
-Um... -Oh?
-Subin. -Yes?
I'll take this one with me.
Uh...
I'm afraid...
I won't be able to go with you today.
What?
[♪ glum music playing]
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
[knocking at window]
Call me when you get there.
[♪ lively music playing over speakers]
Hey.
It's been a while. Right?
-Minjae. -[chuckles]
Oh, man. Okay.
Let's go.
Come on. Stop.
[straining] Let go.
I said let go, you freaking...
You.
Hey, it's been so long. Right?
How long has it been?
I'm sorry I haven't been in touch.
I heard you were sick.
How did you know?
I overheard Professor Ahn on the phone.
Oh.
Are you all better now?
I'm fine. The surgery went well.
I'm fine.
[sighs]
How about you? How have you been?
Well, I was just... I was doing fine.
Going to school, studying...
How about a girlfriend?
You said you liked that, you know, Jung Subin girl.
You said she was beautiful, like an angel.
Are you guys still in the talking stage?
We're not in any stage. We're just friends. She's a female friend.
Friends? You've got to be kidding me.
Hey, after all the support I'd given you,
there should've been some progress, some results.
No, there's really nothing.
[chuckling]
How about Youjin? Is she doing well?
Well...
I heard she was getting married soon.
[yelling] She's getting married?
She's not?
Was I mistaken?
Well,
not quite marriage.
But she's seeing someone.
Oh.
You know Professor Lee Jihoon from math?
I heard they're seeing each other.
But marriage...
I don't think they're quite there yet.
Well, if they keep seeing each other, they'll eventually get married.
But Professor Lee Jihoon is an alpha, you know.
Alpha?
I mean, he has a strong personality. He's assertive and kind of prickly.
Yeah. He's not exactly the easiest person to deal with.
But apparently, he's popular with girls.
They say he's sexy.
He's sexy?
What's so sexy about him?
I'm not sure.
Women are attracted to intellectual and smart men, you know.
Maybe it's that kind of sexiness?
[scoffs]
I'm like that myself, so I kind of get the appeal.
Ah.
That's right.
Yeah, he is sexy.
I can see why women feel that way.
Anyway, people like him have high standards for others too.
Honestly, I don't get how Lim Youjin meets his standards...
[sucks teeth]
She's not even that pretty, and she has a weird personality.
She's also dumb and stubborn. There's nothing appealing about her.
[sighs deeply]
Honestly, I don't even get why you dated her.
It's all over now, though.
Have you...
told anyone about me and Youjin dating, by any chance?
What?
No. I didn't tell anyone.
Why would I talk about that? It's your personal life.
[Sejin clears throat]
[sighs] But why...
And talking about that
would put Lim Youjin in an awkward position.
Who would want a woman with a past?
A past?
How is Youjin a woman with a past?
Well, men don't want to know about their girlfriend's exes, you know.
It's kind of off-putting, to be honest.
Even just hearing about it feels bad enough.
But seeing the guy in front of you?
[sighs] That'd be seriously annoying.
You start hounding her, getting suspicious, keeping tabs on her.
Then you start suspecting she's cheating.
Come on, that's what a psycho would do.
Minjae, there are so many psychos in this country.
[sighs] There are nutjobs everywhere.
Is that why he suggested the three of us meet up?
What?
So, he invited me to see how I'd react.
Wow, what a psycho.
[box slams shut]
[sighs]
[phone vibrating]
[♪ jazz music playing over speakers]
-Hey. -Hello.
Have a seat.
Hey, can you drink? You have cancer.
Oh...
Well. Suit yourself.
Can I get another glass, please?
Sure thing.
So, what is it you wanted to tell me?
You said it was important.
[staff] Here.
-Thank you. -[staff] Enjoy.
Whatever it is, shoot.
I'd like to know your intentions, Professor.
What intentions?
That day, why did you suddenly...
Wait, that thing on your face.
On the right side. Is that a dimple?
Pardon?
[Jihoon] When you smile. Yeah, there it is.
-This... -Is it a dimple, not a wrinkle?
Yes.
I have dimples too.
It's not like you're insanely good-looking or anything.
Definitely not something you can't get over.
I heard you told Youjin
to get over you
and move on to someone better.
She's trying so hard to move on and build a happy life.
Why did you come back? What are you still hung up on?
I think there's a misunderstanding here.
Why? Is it hard to accept that things between you two ended just like that?
You just can't seem to move on?
I'm not back because I haven't moved on.
I mean, you're the one who broke up with her.
Right?
So just fuck off.
It's true that I'm the one who broke up with her.
But if you just tell me to fuck off without knowing the situation,
I've got a few things to say too...
Situation, my ass. That's just bullshit.
Want me to say what you're really thinking?
What was I really thinking?
You were confident.
The moment you broke up with her, and even now.
Confident... What am I confident about?
You think you can go back to how things were.
Honestly, a loser like you? I thought...
Yeah.
I definitely underestimated you.
But it only took you five minutes.
Man, you didn't even have to see her.
One phone call with you, and she just crumbled.
You arrogant,
proud,
entitled asshole.
But it's not going to happen.
Because she has me.
It won't happen. It's too late.
What if I had died?
What if I had died?
Think about it.
If I had died, what would that have done to her?
It was better to hurt her a little now than hurt her even more later. Am I wrong?
This...
This is unfair to me too. I...
It's not fair to me.
You're a real piece of work, aren't you?
Hey, are any of us gods here?
Aren't we all just human?
Fuck all that bullshit. You like someone, you date them.
It doesn't work out, you break up. That's it.
It's as simple as that. How are you the victim here?
[♪ emotional song playing]
Whatever.
You had your chance, and it's over.
So stop playing with Youjin's feelings.
You know what?
You never know what life might throw at us.
Watch out for cars. There are a lot of car accidents out there.
Stay alive.
[door lock beeps]
[door lock chimes]
[sighs]
[exhales]
[sighs]
[groans softly]
[sighs]
[sighs]
[♪ music fades]
[Miyoung] That's a lot of sesame seeds.
It's not sesame seeds, it's sesame oil.
Yeah, this is it. Authentic sesame oil made in Korea.
Was there a lot of snow in Hongcheon?
[groans] Tons of snow.
And with holiday traffic, the roads were so backed up. It was awful.
-Mom. -Yeah?
Didn't Grandma ask why I didn't come?
She did. She said she wanted to see you.
That was it? Didn't she tell you to give me some money or anything?
[Miyoung] Jeez, you should be the one giving her money.
[Youjin] I know. So immature.
-[Miyoung sighs, groans] -[Youjin grunts]
Youjin,
you know your great-aunt in Hongcheon, right?
That great-aunt's sister-in-law's father-in-law...
No, that's not it.
The sister-in-law's husband's older brother.
Honey, what does that make him to us?
Wouldn't that make him our in-law's in-law? No?
I don't know.
Anyway, that in-law's in-law is super rich and owns a bunch of buildings.
One of the buildings is an assemblyman's office,
so they're pretty close with the assemblyman too.
Apparently, that assemblyman's son is your alum.
He studied economics at Seohan.
And he's 32.
He's a Deputy Director at the MOFE. What do you think?
What do you mean?
He's still just a civil servant. That's not exactly a great catch.
A Deputy Director is a Grade 5 official.
He's not just any government worker. He's a bureaucrat.
Right. He's a high-ranking bureaucrat.
But if he's a politician's son and a high-ranking bureaucrat,
he must have plenty of good matches. Why us?
He's picky.
No school bullying in the past, no tax issues.
And most importantly, he wants someone pretty.
He says she can't be ugly.
-And that's her? -Hey.
You should show him her bare face.
What do you say? Do you want to meet him?
No. I'm busy. I can't.
Come on. Just meet up with him once.
No.
I knew you'd say that.
Then do you have any friends you could introduce him to?
He's a really good catch.
Hmm...
How about Subin?
Well, Subin is pretty.
She's kind and well-behaved. She also went to Seohan.
Well, I don't know about Subin.
Why not?
Well, to be honest,
I've always wanted her to be our daughter-in-law.
[Youjin] What?
-What? Me? -[Youjin laughing]
No way.
Come on. You're being ridiculous now.
Yeah, I know.
I know it's ridiculous.
Well, it's just wishful thinking.
Well. If only Youseong had gone to a university in Seoul,
I would've done whatever it took to make it work.
What?
Well, Youseong could always go to college later.
He's got a good personality.
And he's good-looking too.
Even if he has a good personality and is good-looking,
his academic background isn't good enough.
Her parents wouldn't like it.
A good personality and good-looking? Who?
His background aside,
Subin gets along with Youseong just fine.
And they're close too.
I mean, as long as they like each other, right?
It just doesn't work like that in real life.
Stop.
Subin is just like a little sister to me. I don't see her that way.
She isn't even my type.
[sighs] That's enough. You guys are just talking nonsense.
[Miyoung] Gosh.
This is why you should've studied hard, like I told you to.
Stop it.
I said I'm not interested in Subin. Why keep bringing it up?
Jeez.
[♪ theme song playing]
[automated voice] The 650 bus and the 5533 bus will be arriving shortly.
-Hey. -Jesus Christ!
[laughs]
Minjae!
You haven't officially started yet, have you?
I still need to go clean things up and get everything ready.
Are you going to be taking the shuttle bus to work?
I think so. That's probably what I'll do.
Aren't you going to buy a car?
No, driving around would be more of a hassle.
But you're a professor. You should have a car.
I'm not a professor.
You are, though.
-It's here. -It's here.
Get in. Yeah, let's go.
-It's a bit cold today. -Yeah.
[Minjae] Hey, come on. Just sit there.
You always do this.
-Subin. -Hello.
-It's been a while, right? -[Subin] Yeah.
Hello.
-I heard you were back. -Yeah.
[inaudible conversation]
See you around, Subin. I'll keep in touch.
[♪ music fades]
It's been so long since I've been back on campus,
but it looks like it hasn't changed much.
The buses, the roads, the field...
Everything's just the same.
And you haven't changed, either.
You said you'd become a better person by the time I got back.
You don't seem all that different to me.
Well, that's what you said then.
Why are you bringing that up now?
It's pointless and not funny. What do you want?
I mean...
We can't stay like this forever, you know.
[sighs]
I messed up.
I know I messed up too.
So...
Please forgive me.
Okay, I forgive you.
Now, be a better person,
and when you meet someone new, don't hurt her like you hurt me.
I hope you find love and happiness. All the best.
[sighs] Uh, but...
What are you two talking about?
Nothing.
Bye, Professor.
PROFESSOR'S OFFICE
PARK MINJAE PROFESSOR'S OFFICE
[♪ pensive music playing]
[sighs]
[groans softly]
[phone vibrates]
[Jihoon] What are you doing after work today?
[Youjin] Going home.
[Jihoon] Want to grab dinner together?
[Youjin] Too tired. Got to go home and sleep.
[camera clicks]
[scoffs]
[door opens]
[sighs]
[door closes]
Where did everyone go?
Oh.
Professor Park Minjae's office. They're having a meeting.
What? They should've told me about it. Why didn't they say anything?
[Sejin sighs]
Aren't you going to the meeting?
It's not a real meeting.
They're just hanging out and chatting.
[sighing]
It's not a meeting.
Hey,
even so, this isn't right.
We should all be chatting together.
We're all in the same lab, aren't we?
-Don't you know what teamwork is? -[sighs]
Since when is hanging out teamwork?
When we hang out, we stick together.
We look out for each other. That's family.
You see,
I've always wanted to say this to you.
Do you know how easy they go on you because you're the only girl?
Hey, have I ever asked them to go easy on me?
There you go again.
The guys just accepted that you're different
and treated you with care and respect
as their junior and colleague. And you say what?
"When did I ever ask them to go easy on me?"
Go ahead, argue with me.
Am I wrong?
Hey, that's not what it is.
Then what is it?
[sighs]
Well, obviously, I'm uncomfortable around Professor Park Minjae.
If you're uncomfortable,
then sit up straight.
What?
You think he's comfortable?
He's uncomfortable too, but he's trying.
Or why don't you just... just come clean?
Say, "We secretly dated and broke up, so it's awkward."
Why don't you just do that?
[sighs]
If you can't,
don't make it obvious.
If you're uncomfortable,
deal with it.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[knocking at door]
Yes?
Hey, come in.
I heard we were having a meeting here.
[Minjae] Yeah. Come in.
[Taeho] We're throwing a welcome-back party for Minjae today.
What should we eat?
[Sejin] Oh.
So this meeting's about what we're having for dinner?
Exactly.
What should we have?
Maybe pork belly? Maybe not.
How about beef instead of pork? It's been a while.
Beef sounds great.
Sirloin, tenderloin, skirt steak, brisket. Right?
Minjae is paying, so let's get beef short ribs.
-[Minjae scoffs] -Yeah, beef short ribs.
Beef short ribs? As if.
Sejin, let's go with whatever you want. It's on me.
Oh. Then I'd say...
Yeah?
Fried chicken.
Fried chicken sounds great.
That's my junior. Those guys are all strangers.
You're the only one I consider my brother. Thanks.
All right, let's go with fried chicken.
-Sejin, give me a hand? -Sure.
Yeah. All right.
[indistinct conversation]
I'd love a draft beer.
Did you book a table at the chicken place?
Yeah, at Lulu Chicken, for six people.
I wanted to have some beef.
[Youjin] Oh? Are we going home already?
No, not going home. We're having a team dinner.
We're throwing the welcome-back party for Minjae today.
Why?
[Youjin] But I already have plans tonight.
Really?
What plans? Can't you cancel them?
It's Minjae's welcome-back party. It'd be nice if you came.
Yeah, join us. It's Minjae's first team dinner back.
It's okay. If she can't make it, she can't make it.
Yeah. It's okay. Don't worry about it.
But, Youjin,
just send Minjae a quick text, okay?
Tell him you're sorry you missed his party and you'll see him next time.
-[Youjin] I will. -[Taeho] Good.
-Bye. -Bye.
-Bye. -Yeah.
-Bye, Youjin. -Good luck.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[sighs] Done.
[grunts]
-[door lock activates] -[phone vibrates]
[Youjin] I don't think I can join the welcome-back party today.
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
[phone vibrates]
[Youjin] Welcome back.
[huffs]
[indistinct conversation]
[phone vibrates]
[Minjae] Okay. Thanks.
I'll see you around.
[♪ classical music playing over speakers]
-Hello. -Hello.
Hi, I have a reservation for two under the name Lee Jihoon.
All right. Let me show you to your table.
Okay.
Here's your table.
Thanks.
May I take your bag and coat?
Uh... I'll keep my bag. Just the coat, please.
Of course. Got it.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -No problem.
[♪ lively music playing over speakers]
All right. [clears throat]
Now that we've all had a few bites...
The pride of our lab and my soulmate!
[chuckles]
Let's welcome Professor Park Minjae on his triumphant return.
Now, a round of applause.
Welcome back.
Thanks.
All right. Now, let's hear a few words from Professor Park.
But before that, um...
since he's come back from the States,
we'll have him give his speech in English,
which he's more comfortable with.
-Jeez. -[in English] Here you are. [laughs]
[Hangyeol in Korean] Let's hear it.
[in English] Okay.
Uh...
Thank you, everyone.
Uh...
I love you. Okay.
-[in Korean] Bravo. All right. -Youjin.
Hey, Youjin.
Huh?
-You had plans. How did you make it? -You made it.
I pushed my plans back a bit.
It's Minjae's party. I should at least stop by.
[exclaims]
Our Youjin is so polite, right?
She knows how to show respect to her seniors. [laughs]
-Yeah. -Eat up.
-Excuse me. Could we... -I'm sitting up straight now.
[Chansoo] Huh?
Could we get a small plate, please?
Minjae, welcome back to Korea.
Thanks.
[♪ soft piano music playing over speakers]
-Let me refill your glass. -Yes, thank you.
Youjin.
Let me walk you to the bus stop.
It's okay. I'm going to take a taxi because it's late.
A taxi? Then let me get one for you.
No, I'm fine. I can do it.
No, you're late because of me.
Come on, follow me.
Are you meeting Professor Lee Jihoon?
Yes.
Is he nice to you?
Yeah, I guess.
He seems like a nice guy.
He is. And he's really smart.
And sexy?
What?
Well, Kim Sejin said
Professor Lee is popular with girls because he's sexy.
Oh... As if.
[chuckles]
He's so full of himself, and he says such mean things.
He said Professor Lee is popular with girls?
Yeah.
But there must be something you find attractive about him
if you're dating him.
What?
Who said I was dating him?
-Huh? -What crazy asshole
is going around saying that?
So, it's not true?
Don't be ridiculous.
If you're not marrying him or seeing him,
can we get back together?
No.
Even if I beg you to forgive me and promise I'll never do it again?
No.
I'm not making excuses, but I really was sick.
Back then, I honestly thought I might die.
You don't know because I never told you what was going on...
I know.
It must've been so painful and hard for you.
You were probably so overwhelmed
that you couldn't think about anything else.
You were sick. How could you think of anyone else?
No, that's not what it was like!
Don't yell at me.
Whether I was too much, things were too hard, whatever the reason,
you left me once.
How do I know it won't happen again?
[yelling] No, I said that's not it!
[yelling] I told you not to yell at me!
[whimpers]
All right. I... Don't cry. Come here.
That was my bad. I'm sorry. I...
I'm sorry. Don't cry, okay?
But can you try to understand me too?
I'm a coward, and I always overthink everything.
I always imagine the worst.
I really...
I really thought I was going to die back then.
That's why...
I didn't want to make things hard for you.
That's why I wanted to let you go.
I don't want to hear any of that bullshit.
You think you were the only one having a hard time?
You think you were the only one?
I almost died back then too. I did too.
I thought I'd rather die
than break up with you.
That's what I thought!
You didn't die, but I died back then!
So how am I supposed to forgive you?
How am I supposed to take you back? How?
My answer is no, and that's final.
[♪ gentle song playing]
BETWEEN STEPS
[Youjin] I don't want any weird rumors to start about you because of me.
I already like someone.
I gave you my whole heart, my everything.
But you betrayed it and just threw it away.
[Minjae] Being with you made me happy,
but it also really scared me.
I was scared that one day, it'd all end.
And that I'd be abandoned.
You loved me,
but I didn't.
