Conscience. Free stuff.

We're going to begin today with the three guys who are struggling between their conscience and free stuff.

The three guys who came shopping for Hye-Ja.

What is Woo-Hyun doing? He's holding a large sausage.

Oh, looks like he wants to buy underwear.

Sausage? You're not a child. Put that back.

She won't notice. - You will get in trouble.

Just stick to Ahjumma's shopping list. Ramen, tissues, and cookies.

What is this? - Underwear.

You don't have underwear? Put that back.

Who wears this kind of underwear these days?

Mine are old, anyway.

When I change clothes at the bathhouse, I'm embarrassed.

Can't you do math? Put these back.

I said put it back. - I will put this back first! I will hit you!

In the end, he puts the sausage back.

Should I put this on the belt? - Just leave it. I'll scan it from here.

Moo Sung ends up seeing the underwear box, hidden by the larger box.

He suffers mental conflict about this, for several seconds.

Have a nice day.

In the end, Moo Sung pushes the cart, and leaves.

The moment the cashier scanned the big box,

I noticed that the underwear was hidden below it.

Should I go? Or Not? Should I go or not?

My head is full of conflict, but my hands just kept pushing the cart.

Your hands have done well. Good job, hands!

I was really shaking for a moment.

You did well. Good job!

It's X-Large.

I should have gotten Small.

Can't you do even this right?

If I was really going to buy it, I would have paid more attention to the size.

I got that for you after suffering such conflict.

What are we going to do now? - I'll just exchange it.

You don't even have a receipt, so how? - I'll just say that I lost it.

So let's say you really did lose a receipt.

What will you answer when they ask when you bought it?

There won't be a record in their computers that you bought that.

Then what will you say? - Ouchie.

Aigoo. There are some people whose fate bears no free gifts, they say.

What do I do about this?!?

The next day.

The three men whose exchange request was rejected.

She said you can't, right?

Then what do I do? - Just give it to someone.

It's $75.

I'll wear it, okay? - Will you give me $75?

Why would I give that to you?

I accidentally carried that out.

Omo, he was too loud, wasn't he?

If it wasn't for me, how would you be holding that right now?

But it happened because I put it in the cart.

And if I listened to my conscience and said, "Hey, look at this item in the cart?"

If I did that? - And what if I didn't put it in the cart in the first place?

It's like we're speaking different languages. - What if we put this back, and sneak out with another one? - Are you crazy?

It's not like we really stole it. It was taken by mistake.

We're just changing the mistake that we made.

Can you do that? - Hyung-nim!

Are you both crazy?

They are having another adventure, after all. - Whatever. I'm not doing it.

Since all three of us are here, let's buy a bunch of

cheap but heavy items.

And then put the Small Size in the cart.

Then we put back the underwear that we brought with us.

Let's stop. The more I think about, the more this is a bad idea.

What is wrong with you guys? Don't you have any fear?

Do you want to put him in prison? Do it yourself!

What sin has he committed?

This is not something to go to prison for. We're not stealing, we're exchanging.

Stop being stubborn. How is this exchanging?

If we get caught, we will get caught doing this.

What happened yesterday did not happen. - That's not right! - Then what?!?

Where is he going?

I will pay for this one with a credit card.

This time, he selects his conscience.

He's a bit forgetful, you see.

Have a nice day. Come on.

Just consider it a gift.

No, I'll pay you back.

I was almost successful. Why did you do that?

Hey, you! You are really a scary fellow!

You really are!

He is really bewildering!

The next day. Moo Sung goes to the grocery store again to run errands for Hye Ja.

So you want a pound of sliced stew meat, also. Okay, got it.

Neck meat, 2 pounds.

And Stew Meat, 1 pound. I'll put it in the same bag.

Thank you.

$12.50, please. - There were two, but she only scanned one.

Those two short seconds during which I realized that she had made that mistake,

I thought about an enormous amount of things, very quickly.

Upon realizing that it was free stuff, even though it was not worth a lot, it made my heart beat faster.

Simultaneously, I began to think about the lessons in honesty I learned in grammar school, and even thought about my father, and my children.

The fact that I was spiritually struggling with these thoughts already made me feel like a criminal, and my heart skipped a beat.

It made me wonder if anyone had read my mind.

It made my heart beat even faster. And I had felt the same way before.

That moment, my heart pounded for two seconds.

It wasn't mine, but it was free stuff. My spiritual struggle between that excitement, and that guilt.

And that I had selected the free stuff over my conscience.

Even my Hyung-nim, who was blinded by the amount of $75, in front of the cash register,

had an anxious and guilty expression on his face.

Hey, you!

And when we returned home, we scolded Sang-Hoon, who did nothing wrong.

It was because we were angry with ourselves, for having ignored our conscience.

That evening, we were unusually quiet.

We needed time to treat our wounded conscience.

I've lived for 40 years, knowing deep in my bones, that a windfall is not a good thing.

And yet, I tremble, when I think about this moment.

Taking that which is not mine.

Ahjumma, you only scanned one. But there are two.

Omo, sorry about that.

It's $34.80.

Everyone, what have you experienced today, regarding your conscience and free stuff?

Now let's get back to our Cheongdam-dong people,

and their fresh and warm stories.

We need to wrap it again, huh?

Yes. It's very old, so it's falling apart. I'll get a new one and wrap it again.

You should also wrap the meter.

Use our old clothes. If that freezes and breaks, that's more money.

Where do we have old clothes? We barely have any to wear right now. - Well, that's true...

Oh, it's so cold.

Let's just go down first.

It looks like the cold weather will continue.

We advise you to be extra careful. [Episode 15: One Cold Day]

If you want to change these plans, there will be some limitations.

It would be best if you look at the site, and then we can talk about it afterwards.

We can have lunch together to discuss the rest. You're hungry, aren't you? - Well... yes.

Sorry. Let's go out.

It looks like an urgent call. Please take it.

Oh yes. Well, excuse me.

Hello? -This is Officer Park from the Kang-nam Police Station.

Yes. What is the matter?

We found a homeless person who died near the Cheongdam station.

He didn't have any identification, so there is no way to know his identity.

But among his personal items, he had a gift certificate for $5.

And on it was your name and cell phone number.

My cell phone number? - Do you remember anything, by any chance?

I don't think so. And I don't recall ever having a gift certificate worth $5.

Please think about it. We have absolutely no way of knowing who this is.

I'm curious, too.

I recently got a new cell phone, and there aren't many people who know my new number.

If possible, please come in person to the station. We would appreciate your cooperation.

I'm quite busy. I'm sorry.

And, I've never met... with a homeless person...

Oh, it's so cold.

What's up with you? - When it's cold winter like this, I always think about that man.

What man?

There was a two-timing man in my past who approached me for my money.

I found out that he was two-timing me, so on a cold day like this,

I gave him a roasted yam as a gift.

Unni, you are really cool. If it was me, I would have beat him up.

So I shoved that roasted yam into his car's muffler.

And his car smoked like a blockbuster movie.

I keep thinking about him.

Forget about that lame guy.

No, I mean. Hyun-Woo. Such a cutie.

I wonder how he's doing in that container in this cold weather.

Aigoo, you worry too much.

He eats ramen and cookies in the comic shop all day long.

And he only goes up to sleep.

He shouldn't eat such things at his age. He will get sick when he's older.

I better make him something and bring it to him.

No, don't. If you do that, he will begin to expect it.

Oh, welcome.

I'll use the bathroom.

Yes, please.

Is this perhaps "voice phishing?"

My mom was a victim of that recently.

Somebody called me saying he's the police, and that a homeless person died.

But that he had a $5 gift certificate with my phone number on it.

Oh, what is that? Is this like "Sherlock Holmes?"

Did they ask you to send money?

No, I said that I couldn't remember, and he said I should go and identify him by his face.

Oh my. Do you really not remember anything?

No. And why would I ever carry a $5 gift certificate?

Why not? Department stores give $5 gift certificates after you buy $100 worth...

Yes, I see why you would not have one. - This feels really weird.

I know. Somebody died after all.

How did he have my number?

Take care. -Take care.

Doctor. There are some people

here to see you. - Where?

Dr. Choi.

Dr. Choi! Hey, those paper cups with those cool handles?

You should bring such things home.

Wasn't the coffee extra tasty, too? - Hey, the wind is going into our mouths.

Let's walk with our mouths closed.

And why do you come to my workplace? - Why not?

Are you embarrassed by us? - Yeah, is that how it is? - No, it's not like that.

But it is. You tried to ignore us and ran out.

Let's please just walk, please? - But it's true, isn't it?

Oh, what is that?

I think they're giving away prizes. Why don't we try it?

We will never win that. - It's so cold I don't want to take my hands out of my pockets.

Come on, let's try it.

Yes, goodbye.

How do we do this?

This is for this weekend's event.

If you are able to get it in 5.55 seconds, the 1st place prize is

a European Tour.

European Tour? Can I change that to a trip to America?

Yes, of course. - Let's do this. No matter what.

How do we do this?

Please write your name, contact info., and citizen ID number.

And please come by 2 PM on the day of the event.

Write it! Write it!

Kim Woo-Hyun.

Please wash up and also clean the bathroom, please.

Do you want me to freeze and die? It's so cold, why should I bathe?

I'll just clean up with this before I sleep.

This weather is really awful. - Oh, I really hate winter.

You've gotten old, too. Even in the middle of winter,

you would wear mini-skirts and show off your legs.

That's what I mean. I have to hide my pretty legs in boots.

My legs are priceless treasures.

Yes?

Aigoo, are you okay with the heating pad?

Tonight, it will be really cold, they say.

I'm sure I'll be fine if I use it.

Just sleep downstairs.

If I'm cold while I'm sleeping, I'll go downstairs.

All right.

You could also sleep with Dog-Poop for warmth.

Yes. Don't worry about me.

Unni, it's cold, isn't it?

Oh, this. I said I would bring it to him for you.

Hey. From the perspective of the cook,

that he would enjoy the food that I made him,

seeing that will make me the most happy.

Let me see. What did you bring?

Wow, you sure brought a lot.

Hello.

Oh, Hyun-Woo.

Have you been well? - Yes.

Winter nights are long, as you know.

I thought you might be hungry, so I brought you a little food.

I already just ate ramen. Thanks anyway.

Oh, is that so? Well, that's all right.

Look at him. A total zero in social skills and empathy.

How can you still like him?

Let's eat.

Okay!

Oh, I passed it by 2 seconds.

Once you see it, and press it, it's already too late.

You can't think about it with your brain. You have to go by your instinct.

Then what do I do?

Humans have a natural sense of timing.

But as we rely on watches and clocks, this sense has faded.

So we have to recall that animal instinct. Okay, measure the time.

Start.

Hey, it's already been 8 seconds.

Animal instinct, my ass.

Let's stop this. I'll tell you how long 5.5 seconds is,

so let's just memorize that feeling.

That's good. Try it.

Ji-Geum. (Now) - Is it when you say "Ji" or "Geum?"

Just use the beep sound.

Do it again.

Beep. - Wow.

Good. One more time.

Beep.

It's cold, huh?

I don't think you should stay here.

Upsy-daisy.

You're taking the dog? - Yes. Why?

This won't do. He dislikes you so much.

This dog really knows how to judge people.

He really likes guys too much, though.

Come with me.

Where's Hyun-Woo? - Is he on the roof?

How long? - 5.8. - Dammit.

Didn't Hyun-Woo sleep downstairs last night?

He wasn't here. How about now?

Aish, I know it was 5.5 seconds.

He was on the roof? In this cold weather?

Did he at least sleep with Dog-Poop?

I brought Dog-Poop downstairs.

I saw him bring some hot water bottles with him.

How can he stand this cold with that?

What if something went wrong with him?

Aish.

His complexion is so pale already, how can I know?

You should wash your hair. - Omo!

What are you doing?

Were you worried that I was dead?

If it's time, get up and come downstairs, why don't you?

Do you have to make me come get you?

And I washed my hair.

So your nose is weird.

Hyun-Woo doesn't really enjoy food, does he?

I don't know.

Should I make something else for him?

Something warm and contains my loving care...

Chef. - What? - Can you smell my hair?

What? Why?

That unemployed guy...

I mean, Hyun-Woo said my hair smelled.

Hyun-Woo smelled your hair? I'm envious.

I don't think my hair smells. Can you try smelling it?

Come on. My sense of smell is so important for cooking.

Oh, when did you get here?

I got another call from the police station.

Why? What did they say?

On that $5 gift certificate, above my phone number,

it said "Gae Sae." ("Son of a bitch," abbreviated)

What does that mean?

You got my call, right? It's that number.

Hold on. Hold on.

Just give me the number.

010-508-2983

Oh, Ji-Yeon. It's me. This is my new number.

Let's meet soon. Today?

I always have time for you. [Gae Sae] (son of a bitch, abbreviated)

When should we meet?

Ji-Eun, do you know what that means, by any chance? "Gae Sae?"

Who knows? I don't know. Maybe a type of bird? ("Sae" can mean bird.)

But why did a homeless person have that?

I asked you to stuff some old clothes in the meter.

I asked you, but you forgot about it!

Please don't forget and do everything today.

If you look here, this cheekbone

is bigger. So, this cheekbone

So then, I will

shave down this cheekbone a little bit,

and...

Looks like we're all finished with our meals.

Please call my car here.

Ji-Eun?

Hey, Oh Ji-Eun!

Yes. What would you like?

She wants her car.

Oh yes, I'm sorry.

You are short $5.

I'll give you $5 later.

You keep cheating me out of $5 every time!

Your calculations should always be accurate. Do you behave this way to other people?

When I borrowed even 10 cents from someone, I always paid them back.

Honestly, what mother collects rent from their daughter?

Omo, who said this is rent? It's household expenses.

A daughter who earns money but doesn't even give spending money to her mother,

at least she should contribute to household expenses.

Is $200 too much? Give me $5!

I just don't have it. My wallet is all empty.

You really don't have it?

Do you want a gift certificate, at least?

Give it to me.

Mom, when I was short on rent,

I gave you a $5 gift certificate instead. Do you remember that?

Gift certificate...

Yes. I remember that.

Mom, do you still have that?

Hold on... no I don't.

Mom, did you give that a homeless person?

I did. Why?

Then it is mine.

What is it? Why?

Oh, what a relief.

Hello. - I was here to see you, Hyun-Woo.

Me?

This.

It's a sweater.

Whenever it's winter, sweater,

scarf, gloves... knitting those is my hobby.

Is that too feminine of me?

In any case, I knitted that thinking of you.

Thank you.

So is your name, "Lee Taly?"

No, my name's not Taly, but Hwang Jung Min.

It says "Made in ITALY." (Lee Taly)

I told them to take that off.

Oh, why is that there?

Anyway, I'll be going.

Oh, this is the exit.

What was that about a gift certificate?

Oh, that? It's... nothing.

Mom. The thing is...

What?

Is it this person?

Yes, I think so.

We found him near the Cheongdam Station.

These are his personal things.

We found this gift certificate.

We just can't figure out who he is.

So it's not someone you know, right? - Right.

But how did he... ?

It appears that he froze to death.

But he was also severely malnourished.

Malnourished?

Will this do?

If he had even one good meal...

I should have given him money.

I should have given him money. How could he have gone into a department store?

I'll get the car. Please stay here and wait.

Mom, where are you going? It's cold.

I'm sorry, but can you exchange that for $1 bills?

Mom, what are you doing? It's so cold.

Do you have to do this now?

When you see a homeless person, you can do it, then.

If I hesitate, I won't be able to do it.

While wondering if I have any dollar bills, I will end up passing them by.

Then it becomes difficult to return. You, too.

Okay, I have some, too.

I mean, you do it, too. This isn't for you to keep.

I mean I have money, too, Mom.

Our preparation is complete.

Oh, so shocking! I'm so shocked!

We have to do this again.

There is only one chance. Sorry. - No way! Do it again!

Please start again, please? - Sorry, no.

Just one time, come on!

This contest is fixed.

That's right. He should have said that he was going to shoot a gun.

My ears are still ringing.

That prize was really mine.

Ahjumma, this is Hyun-Woo. I'll sleep in the house tonight.

Yes. I'll come home later tonight.

Hyun-Woo, hello.

It's very warm. - Huh?

How was the meal?

It was really delicious.

Oh, I'm so glad.

Hyun-Woo, do you have a type?

Type? I don't have one.

Just... a woman who cooks well.

Oh, really?

I'm a very good cook.

Why do you like women who cook well?

I guess because they remind me of my mom.

Mom...

Oh, I guess that's better than Dad.

Oh, what's wrong with my car? - What the heck?

Is something going on outside?

Don't worry about it.

Go outside and take care of that.

I think you should go outside. They're demanding to see the owner.

Oh? Please finish your dessert.

I'm sorry. - If you can't drive, hire someone who can.

We are sorry. We will pay for the repairs. - Repairs?

The parts for this car aren't even available in Korea. You would have to remove that door and send it overseas.

Then what do I drive during that time?

You want me to drive a rental car?

I'm sorry. We'll do whatever we can...

I said we should go to a hotel restaurant instead.

Hey, what is with you?

You can have it. Happy?

Crap. I'm ruined.

Really... cool. Noona.

Noona?

Okay, well...

that is better than Mom.

That will be $7.00.

Can you give me the change in $1 bills?

Thank you.

Get up. It's so cold, and you always make me wake you up.

Can't you just get up on your own?

Get up and eat breakfast!

Perhaps...

Hey! On no. Hey, Hyun-Woo!

You can't die!

Omo. I told you to sleep downstairs!

Mom! Uncle! What if he died in here?

I think he died. Mom!

Were you worried about me?

Ready!

12.5 seconds. - No, it's 12.77.

No, it's 12.64.

I'm right. Ask them.

Hey!

What was your time? - 12.38.

They pushed the stopwatch a little late, for sure.

They shouldn't do that. - They should do it like this.

Like this. Like this! - No.

Like this. This is how they should do it.

Click! Click! Try it again!

Run again.

Yes, I'll entrust you with this, Attorney Kim.

Has something happened?

You see,

many years ago, my father-in-law purchased

an orchard with a building on site.

He needed someone to manage the property, so he asked an acquaintance to come live there.

Omo, so it's been 20 years, and he won't leave. Right?

Exactly. We can't even sell it now.

Oh, what a headache.

These days, there are so many people exercising

that squatter's rights law after 20 years.

And they just won't leave.

Is that true? After 20 years

if you squat somewhere, it becomes yours?

Is there such a law?

Yes. Didn't you know?

Hye-Ja, will you help me out? I just want to go on a trip.

This is the list of the missing people after the hurricane. Lee Nak-Gu, Age 68.

He's the owner of this house.

If I stay here for just 20 years, just endure it for 20 years,

I will be 83 years old.

Whether it becomes mine or not,

if I can just live here until that time, it will be nice.

The traffic was so bad that I parked my car and took the subway. I'm fine.

Put some in your wallet. - Okay. I have some, too.

Put more in, it's not for you to keep.

Where are you? Got it.

I'll just pick my car up tomorrow. Okay.

Here. Ramen for you. - Thank you.

Hello? Yeah. I'm at the office, of course.

Okay, got it.

I'll call you after work.

Is it because they're all in similar positions?

How can just all become of one mind like that, in one second?

It's fascinating, but pathetic at the same time.

Oh, you're home.

You look good. - You got a package.

Looks like it's from the U.S.

Wow, what's going on? It's not even my birthday.

Returning the book, please. - Yes.

Take care. - Yes.

Hey, it's a month late! You need to pay your late fees!

Isn't that you, Ji-Eun?

Omo, Sang-Yeob, what are you doing here?

I was meeting a friend. But what are you doing here?

Maybe you live around here?

No, of course not.

I came to borrow this comic book.

So you come here often, huh?

Once in a while.

Actually, not often at all. Why come to such an old-looking place?

But aren't you cold?

Not really. Let's go.

Oh, wait I left something behind. See you!

I think I aged 10 years. Oh, so cold.

Yes, I received it. I was just going to try it on.

Okay. Yeah.

Bye.

Wow. - She sent it to you from the U.S.?

My wife really knows what I like.

My favorite color is this shade of blue.

It looks like it might be a little small. Will it fit you?

I think I better wear it instead.

What are you saying?

It's not small at all.

Like this... see...

It's got spandex in it, so it will stretch as I wear it.

You might rip it.

You're so uncouth.

A shirt like this

this American-style shirt

should be worn a bit tight.

Tight, just like this.

See? Look.

See, I told you so.

Where did the button go?

It's really too small. Is she really your wife?

She doesn't know her own husband's size?

Ah, really.

Payment for a car?

Did Nak-Gu Oppa have a car, too?

If I don't pay this, will it be repossessed?

Hello?

Unni, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?

This is the car finance company, right?

I wanted to ask you something.

Where is the ice? - In the freezer.

It's about a car payment.

The owner of the car is the owner of this house.

But he is traveling right now...

Hold on, please.

So as I was saying, he is traveling far away right now.

So I have to wait until he calls me to get in touch with him.

But

if this car payment is not paid

I wanted to ask if you would repossess the car.

Why are you calling out here, when it's cold?

Is it a secret phone call?

Wait. Did he hear everything?

What?

Nothing. - What did you do?

I just thought I would try drawing some comics. It's not going well.

Look at you. You would try drawing?

Do you think it's that easy? That it just happens?

Stop doing useless things, and just write your story on time.

If you are late with your story again, I will not let it go.

Okay. Story...

You should only covet what is attainable...

Did I already tell you?

What? - This house belongs to someone else.

We're just housesitting for a while.

Oh. - I told you.

You forgot, huh? - No.

You didn't tell me. - But I did.

Did you? Really?

I said I told you.

Okay, then you must have.

When I felt like the most useless guy in the world,

when I wondered why I was born,

I was able to endure it, because of you.

But if you are better than me,

my reason for living has disappeared.

Have you tried it on? How do you like it?

I like it. - You don't sound too happy.

To be honest, 95 is too small.

Even when you left for the U.S., I was wearing 100.

It doesn't fit? - No, it doesn't.

It has to be 105 for it to fit me.

You wear such large clothes now?

After you guys left for the U.S., I gained 10 kg.

You're not taking care of yourself at all.

You're too relaxed, huh?

Doctor, it's time to prepare for surgery.

I have to go into surgery. Let's talk later.

Relaxed? Do I look relaxed right now?

Give me the story. - Not yet. - Not yet?

I can't think of anything.

You haven't written one line since yesterday.

And you keep trying to draw?

If you don't have more of the story to give me later, I will really kill you.

I will fire you and kick you out of this house!

I will hit you!

Stop drawing. Write the story. - Yes.

Won't you answer the phone, Bo-Hee?

Where are you, not answering the phone?

Hello? Yes, Grandpa.

Yes, I got it. Don't worry about this place.

Yes, be well.

Who was that?

It was for me.

Why would someone call you here?

You know, I don't have a cell phone.

Did you hear who he was speaking to?

I don't know. I did hear a bit from the bathroom, and he called someone "Grandpa?"

What Grandpa?

It was a very unusual name.

Grandpa Dok-Gu, I think?

Was it Nak-Gu, by any chance?

I'm not sure. But he speaks to someone he calls Grandpa once in a while.

Please enjoy.

Hello? - It's me. What time do you get off today?

I'll be leaving soon. Why?

Then let's meet briefly when you're done.

Something good for a person in their 60's.

Your mother's about that age, right?

Would you like Korean origins, or foreign origins?

Please pick something good out for me. - I understand.

I was grateful that she went to the police station for my sake.

I was feeling weird about a dead person who had my phone number.

So frustrated right now. - Why?

What is so frustrating to you?

I better stop worrying for today.

Oh, it's locked again.

What are those keys?

I've never even seen those before.

What is that guy's true identity, anyway?

Do you come here often?

Not often, I said.

Let's stop by for a little while.

Why go to a place like this? Let's go.

But it's cold, let's go inside.

Ta-da!

When I came here before, it had warmth and I enjoyed it.

Why are you so late, you?

- Do you know him? - No.

I mean, I asked how late it was. - 7:30 PM.

Oh, is it already 7:30 PM?

What comic book did you borrow before?

Oh, it was nothing much.

It wasn't fun at all.

The truth is, I don't come here often at all.

When I'm really bored, just once in a long while...

I just browse the book titles.

And just borrow a couple of books. That's all.

I'm borrowing these.

Are you borrowing something? - Yeah, I think I will.

Please check me out. - Oh, Ahjussi.

He looks ready to check out. - Huh?

Yes, I'm coming.

How many books did you read?

5 books, then, $2.50?

$2.50 please.

This is the section for young girls' romance, so Ji-Eun, you can look here.

Where are the sports comics?

Sports are over there.

I think it might be over there?

I'll show you. It's over there.

When I came last time, there was a young man at the counter.

Oh, he's a part-timer.

You're drinking coffee?

Yes.

I didn't clean the bathroom.

So it's dirty, huh?

It's fine.

Would you bother cleaning a house that isn't yours?

What is it? - Nothing.

Do you happen to know this house's real owner?

Grandpa Nak-Gu?

You even know his name?

Of course. I've been coming to this comic book shop for 10 years.

Would I just know his name?

I even know who you really are.

What is it?

Nothing.

Because I can't contact him, I just wonder how he is.

I'm sure he's fine.

Pretending you're worried?

Why do you smile that way?

Want to have some ramen? - What? Ramen?

Ramen...

It's my job to make ramen.

It's such a small shop, but they have so many employees.

I know, right?

I'm so sorry. I was taking out the pot, and...

Why is he apologizing to me?

Hey, you should be careful.

Get your head together, you!

I'm sorry.

Is this place always like this?

I wouldn't know.

I don't come here often, as you know.

Only if there's a very unique and fun comic book here.

Part-timer.

He won't greet me.

Who knows why?

He's not polite.

Okay, why don't we go now?

We should at least eat the ramen.

♫ This is where I live, Cheongdam-dong ♫

What are you doing here?

Why are you eating ramen here?

Omo... huh?

My crazy wife. I told you not to wander around by yourself.

You pick fights with random people.

Come home right now.

You're out of your mind again, come out now.

A delivery.

I'll sign it. - No, we're going.

I'm looking for Ms. Kim Hye-Ja.

Is Ms. Kim Hye-Ja here?

It's me.

What's with you? - Ji-Eun is with her boyfriend.

Huh? Really?

That boy?

Oh. He's good-looking.

Your name is unique.

I hear that a lot.

It's "Hye" for "blessing," and "Ja" for "son."

What time do you close?

Okay, we're closing up now.

Wow, where has the time gone?

They're closing already?

Time goes by fast.

This place is always like this.

So I don't come here much. Let's leave.

Close the door, you punk.

I'm sorry.

What did I say?

If you didn't write even one line of your story, I will kill you with my own hands.

I'm sorry. I really can't think of anything.

You drew comics again, right? - I didn't.

You think you're pretty good with this, huh?

I didn't draw that.

Huh? - Hyun Woo drew it.

I was trying to copy him, but it didn't go well.

So you drew this, and...

You punk, this is your drawing skill...

Yes, sometimes it's hard to think of stories.

Let's go back down.

Oh no, what's wrong with this?

Oh, it's locked again.

Yes, if he's pretending not to know, then why insist? No need to bring it up.

What can we do? We have to live here.

We have to stay and beg, even if he tells us to leave.

So just do nothing.

Hey, why does he have so much meat?

Sang-Hoon and I only have this much.

Are you discriminating against us or something?

Just eat.

Can't you just decide to share on your own?

I like beef.

You shameless boy. But where did you get those keys on the rooftop?

You had a bundle of keys. I haven't seen those before. Have you, Noona?

It was in Dog-Poop's house.

Dog-Poop's house?

I heard some jangling noises in the doghouse, so I looked

and he was playing with a bundle of keys.

Wow, you're practically living with Dog-Poop,

and you end up finding all sorts of things.

Now that I look, you got too much meat.

Here's some.

You can't live when you sin.

I had a misunderstanding over nothing.

But who is Grandpa Duk-Gu, anyway?

I think it's Grandpa Nak-Gu.

Duk-Gu. Nak-Gu.

Hey. - What are you doing? - I'm eating.

Isn't it past 10 PM there? - Yeah.

You eat so late, that's why you got fat.

I just got home.

I couldn't even eat lunch because of my surgery.

But who eats after 10 PM?

I'm hungry, how can I not eat?

You have to take care of yourself.

If you're going to live such a relaxed life... - I'm relaxed?!?

Why did I get fat? Before I began rooming here, I had to order in food every day.

And eat ramen every night.

And I didn't want to go home to an empty house, so I would drink.

Then I eat more ramen to cure my hangover.

How could I not get fat?

You got fat eating steak, but I got fat eating rice.

Hey, what is cheaper than rice in this world?

Fine, just hang up!

Yes. He's younger and better-looking than me, what if he can draw better than me, too?

If it wasn't for him, if it wasn't for him...

Oh, so cute.

How lovable you are while you sleep.

I live because of you.

Honey.

It's me.

Are you mad?

I'll lose weight.

I will make my body fit into the shirt you sent me.

I will really start exercising.

Don't be mad anymore. You're not mad, right?

Okay. I love you.
