Lee Roo Mi?

Long time no see.

Seo Tae Hyun, you...

How have you been, Na Na?

Why are you here?

Have I surprised you?

Goodness, there are two friendly faces here.

I knew there is Na Na here.

But what brings you here, Roo Mi?

She's the owner.

Really?

Roo Mi is the owner?

- Unbelievable. - Why are you here?

I'm here to work.

Didn't you know?

I'm the supervisor of the cosmetics event.

Are you the supervisor?

Do you three know each other?

Yes, we used to know each other quite well.

You guys must have made up.

I thought I drove you guys apart.

It's been weighing on my mind.

But I shouldn't have.

Hey, what if Seo Tae Hyun shows up here?

Do you think you can keep your head up in front of Na Na?

I should still formally introduce myself, right?

I'm looking forward to working with you, Ms. Lee Roo Mi.

We have a special history together, don't we?

I heard Revan Cosmetics is doing an event at your bar.

I guess I'm not out of your sight.

Seeing you know everything about me.

Revan Cosmetics' director is your father's acquaintance.

You should do this well and get some attention from him.

I have no interest in getting his attention.

I don't want him to like you. I just don't want him to hate you.

Don't make this an issue and make him lose face.

All right?

(Revan Company)

Aren't you going to give me your card?

(Number A)

Give it to me. I'll do it.

I can't seem to do it right today.

I'll leave the agency as it is.

Hand me their portfolio to me first.

They're good. We always get them to organize our events.

Still, send it to me.

I'm going to get another agency if their idea's bad.

Gosh, you do look like an owner now.

What's with the attitude though?

Even if you're the owner, aren't I the boss at the moment?

Frankly,

If I tell the company I don't like this place,

we could do the event elsewhere.

Wouldn't that be sad?

I heard that you really want to do this.

Why would a lowly employee try to boss me around?

If you want to place an event elsewhere, you should go ahead.

I was just kidding.

You became really strong, Roo Mi.

No.

Are you acting this way because you still hold a grudge against me?

Let's talk about work.

I've no intention of discussing anything else with you.

You've changed a lot.

But Na Na seems to be the same.

She's tough on the outside, but a softy inside.

I mean she's working for you after what happened between us.

You haven't changed either.

You still have a thick skin.

Do I?

I better get going.

I'll send the agency's portfolio via email.

I'm quite lenient when I work.

It's good to see you again.

Let's see each other a lot from now.

Why won't you smile for me when we meet next time?

For old time's sake.

Let's talk.

Are you going to go through with this?

Of course.

What?

It's Seo Tae Hyun.

I don't want to see him either.

But I don't want to lose that opportunity because of that jerk.

Would this bar go down if we don't place that event here?

I'm trying to make this business more successful.

So are you saying you'll do this when Seo Tae Hyun's involved?

You have another reason to do this, don't you?

Are you trying to win against other bar owners...

or is this to save face around celebrities who hangs around you?

If that's not the case, then is it what I think it is?

Are you trying to get acknowledged by your dad?

What?

You always have been this way.

Getting recognized by others...

are more important to you than being self-aware.

What about you?

Is this normal when you still avoid Seo Tae Hyun?

Why do you still avoid him when it's all in the past?

- Are you going to run away forever? - In the past?

How could you say that when you've been through the same thing?

Is what happened with Gyu Min in the past for you?

Do you think this will be all in the past five years?

At least,

I'm trying to do that.

But you didn't do anything then and you're not doing anything now.

You ran away when I told you to punch me.

You avoid Seo Tae Hyun when he shows up.

But you try so hard for other people's affairs.

Do you think that's normal?

You're far from normal.

Who got me into this in the first place?

I'm never going...

to do this.

How about a London style flat white instead of a latte today?

All you need to do is adjust the amount of milk.

I'm a bit tired.

I don't think I'll stop by the vending machine today.

Sorry.

See you tomorrow.

Why won't you answer my calls?

Don't you think there's something wrong with you too?

If I slept with your best friend,

I'm sure you have a problem too.

Yes, I'm a bad person.

So get angry at me or curse me.

Do something. Anything, please!

Hey, why won't you answer me?

Do you know how many times I called you?

Come out right now.

What's with the super spicy chicken feet all of a sudden?

What's with your depressed mood all of a sudden?

When did I tell you I'm depressed?

Don't you know how obvious you are?

So I thought it's a good time for you to get some capsaicin action.

There's going to be a launch party at our bar.

The supervisor is Seo Tae Hyun.

Seo Tae Hyun, that trash?

- Is he who I think he is? - Yes.

But Roo Mi wants...

- to do the party. - To summarize,

you're going to work with your ex-boyfriend...

and ex-best friend who slept with your ex-boyfriend?

What kind of situation is harder to summarize?

It's easier to say I'm in a screwed up situation.

By the way, it's not very spicy today.

What are you talking about? It's super spicy.

I guess in a situation you're in, you can't feel anything.

Did you get home safely?

See you tomorrow.

[Kocowa Ver] "MBC E09 'XX' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What's your business here?

It's not like you'll buy a perfume that's not from a department store.

Did you know I was here?

I thought you didn't see me because you were concentrating so hard.

But you just didn't say hi.

Get to the point.

- Your perfume. - What about my perfume?

If you're going to pick a fight by saying it's made in Itaewon, leave.

I'll let you display it in our bar.

Really?

You should have told me earlier.

And have you heard of Ma Jun Ho?

I heard he's a famous perfumer.

He's my role model. What about him?

I'll introduce him to you too.

Wait.

- What's with you, Roo Mi? - On one condition.

I knew it.

Talk to Na Na for me.

Are you talking about that party?

Do you really have to do that?

Don't you know that Yoon Na Na hates Seo Tae Hyun?

She hates him more than omasum.

She hates coriander the most.

She eats coriander.

What are you talking about?

She hates the smell of it.

She eats it now. She says it's addictive.

Really?

I know Na Na inside out. You will never win against me.

What's the use knowing her taste and what she likes?

You don't know what she's thinking.

I guess so.

Maybe that's why she got rid of me from her life so coldly.

What?

She vouched for you until the end.

What are you talking about?

(5 years ago)

I'm going to go first.

See you there.

What brings you here?

You completely ignored me.

Hey, you cheated on me.

Why is Roo Mi taking the fall?

Don't pretend you're a nice guy.

Tell them you came on to her.

What kind of situation is this?

This is amusing.

Yoon Na Na.

Does Roo Mi know that you're still trying to protect her?

I should have known when I saw you flirting with others.

I know that you intentionally came on to her.

I don't know about others, but I know you.

Think however you like if it's hard for you to admit.

So what if you know?

Everyone else will think Roo Mi betrayed you.

I don't care. The important thing is that I know.

Even in that situation, she thought of you.

But even now,

you won't think about how she feels.

Do you get it now?

Why you're a jerk?

Na Na.

Thank you.

Hello.

Oh, hey.

Hello.

I'm not here because of work.

I'm only going to talk to Roo Mi about work.

You'll probably be uncomfortable working with me.

I don't want anything to do with you.

You're being difficult again.

Well, I guess that's your charm.

You're going to serve me drinks, right?

Irish bomb.

You remember.

We used to drink that together.

Are you seeing anyone?

I think I need to handle this because it's in bad condition.

You remember how you drink this, right?

You need to drink it in one go.

Drink up and leave.

I'll wait for you until you finish.

Let's talk.

Go.

I know it's shameless of me to be this way,

but it won't hurt to talk, right?

Let go.

Why don't you let go and leave?

Stay out of it.

- It's our personal matter... - What I mean is...

you guys don't seem to have a personal matter.

Why do you insist on that?

She said no.

Na Na, what's with this guy?

I told you...

I can't stand it when someone touches what I like.

Do you like, Na Na?

By the way,

do you know Na Na and I used to go out?

Yes, I like her.

But I don't care if you dated her.

So what?

Do you want to fight me?

Danny.

It's my business.

So can you leave us alone?

She's right.

Why are you overstepping?

Na Na.

Are you still not going to talk to me?

Do you still hate me?

Yes, I do.

Well, no.

I'm scared of you.

You...

are my worst memory that I don't even want to recall.

So get out of my life...

and stay away from me.

I'm sorry about earlier.

I shouldn't have meddled.

- It's okay. I was... - I only thought of myself,

and didn't think how you'd feel.

You might be uncomfortable with me being like this.

I'll be more careful.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow.

(Important moments from 5 years ago today)

You...

are my worst memory that I don't even want to recall.

Why...

is it her worst memory?

(Dad)

(Dad)

Why did you call me?

How are you preparing for the launch party?

It's our first call after a few years.

But you just cut to the chase like always.

I heard the sales in your old bar are dropping.

You were overconfident when you left.

You never get anything done right.

- As if you counted on me. - I've never counted on you.

It's lucky enough if you don't mess things up.

We need to build a good relationship with Revan Company.

Pay extra attention to the launch party.

I'll see if I can stop by.

Are you going to come to the bar?

I'll see.

Talk to you soon.

Do you know what saddened me the most?

I wanted to choose you over Tae Hyun.

But you...

You chose him over me.

But even now,

you won't think about how she feels.

You never get anything done right.

I'll see if I can stop by.

(Seo Tae Hyun)

Are you going to come to the bar?

(Seo Tae Hyun)

(Seo Tae Hyun)

(Swipe to answer)

I was going to call you.

I need to talk to you about the launch party.

(XX: X or X)

I was telling you...

I like you.

I like you. I'm confessing to you out of the blue,

but I've had a crush on you for a while.

I told you...

I can't stand it when someone touches what I like.

I only thought of myself,

and didn't think how you'd feel.

You might be uncomfortable with me being like this.

I'll be more careful.

Danny, did you get home safely last night?

I'm not uncomfortable with you.

Gosh.

You can't figure out what to do only by looking at your phone.

You'd better run it by me.

Why is he like this?

He said he liked me,

and then he said he doesn't want to make me uncomfortable.

That's not important now.

The thing is you're caring about him.

That's what matters.

It's refreshing to see Na Na talking to a guy.

By the way, how about sticking...

to throwing the launch party?

You said it can also raise awareness of your bar.

Why is that?

Why do you care about our bar more than I do?

Did Roo Mi said she'd display your product if you talk me into it?

Wait.

Am I guessing right?

No way.

I don't want you to keep avoiding Seo Tae Hyun.

You should show him you're better off without him.

That wouldn't even be enough.

Why would you avoid him?

Hello.

Come out to see me.

I'm in front of your place.

What's up?

We decided not to throw the launch party.

What kind of strategy is this?

You failed to have Jung Deun talk me into it.

Is this a new strategy?

I also told Tae Hyun that we're canceling it.

I know I'm a bad person,

but you also know that you're cruel, right?

You were also cruelly blunt last night.

You're right.

I wanted to throw this launch party to get acknowledged by my dad.

He never cared about me,

but he called me to wish me luck yesterday.

Then...

why didn't you go with it?

I owe you something, don't I?

Like you said,

I chose Tae Hyun...

over you five years ago.

In my defense,

back then, I was too young,

and impulsive,

and lonely.

Because of that stupid mistake,

I was in distress...

for the past five years.

So this time,

I choose you.

I can't make the same mistake twice.

Also,

I was too mean last night.

But since I knew I was already a bad person to you,

I wanted to say my piece at least.

It's he and I that made a mistake.

So stop running away.

But you didn't do anything then and you're not doing anything now.

You ran away when I told you to punch me.

You avoid Seo Tae Hyun when he shows up.

But you try so hard for other people's affairs.

Even though Roo Mi can't defend herself well,

I'll curse you for the rest of your life.

Do you think that's normal?

You're far from normal.

What is it?

Danny, I need to talk to you.

Can I see you in front of the vending machine?

Hello.

Dad.

I decided not...

to throw the launch party.

What are you talking about?

Aren't you used to me not meeting your expectations?

Also,

stop sending me money.

(5 years ago)

(Dad: Let's have dinner next time. I wired you some money.)

When you just send me money,

I feel miserable, and I don't like it.

(Seo Tae Hyun)

Hello.

I'm at a restaurant near my place.

Can you come here?

I sought what you didn't give me from other people.

My dad canceled on me.

Like always.

Your dad is mean.

I wanted acknowledgment and care.

But I wasn't even...

blameless.

Even if nobody acknowledges me,

I want to love myself now.

Take care.

We've never been here in the daytime.

I know.

It's better to be here in the daytime.

Is this flat white?

Yes.

It takes less milk than a latte.

But I failed because the coffee from the machine is too sweet.

I like it because it's sweet.

- I'm sorry I left like that. - I'm sorry...

about yesterday.

Also, thank you...

for helping me.

Danny.

What happens when you keep avoiding the ball in baseball?

If the pitcher threw it well and you keep avoiding,

then you'd be out.

Is there any way to win without hitting the ball?

I don't think you wanted to see me talk about baseball.

Is this your way of telling me that you're avoiding me?

No.

Actually, I had a lot in my mind.

But I thought I could find an answer,

if I talked to you.

So did you find an answer?

Yes.

Well, I think I knew the answer already.

I just needed to confirm it.

Last time,

I said I liked you.

When can I get an answer to that?

Right? It's too soon.

No.

I have an answer to that already.

I don't have a coffee with a guy...

I'm not interested.

Then,

do you want to...

Yes.

Let's do that.

Love battery.

You're here.

Why?

Let's throw the launch party.

What's going on?

You said your dad's also paying attention to this party.

I don't care about that anymore.

I insist.

Let's do it.

You said you were uncomfortable because of Seo Tae Hyun.

I don't want to waste time because of someone I don't like.

I have other things to care about.

You're talking as if there's someone you have to think about.

What are you saying?

No dating is allowed at the workplace.

This would be the owner's version talk.

I hope you see a good man.

This would be your old best friend version talk.

Wang Jung Deun, get up!

- We have to go to the party. - It's still early.

I need you to dress me up completely.

What's going on?

I guess.

There'd be both your ex-boyfriend and present boyfriend.

You should look good.

Come on.

Stand here.

It looks like mom's clothes.

This one's not bad.

Let me see.

I'm gifted in makeups, aren't I?

My looks are gifted.

I'm going to clean up my workshop, so you go ahead first.

- Okay. See you later. - Okay.

- Welcome. Hello. - Hello.

Danny,

is it going all right?

This is the signature drink we came up with last time.

Thank you.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Isn't the color really nice? - Yes.

[Kocowa Ver] "MBC E10 'XX' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

When are you coming?

(Danny: When are you coming?)

I'm here.

I'm late, aren't I?

Not at all. You got here sooner than I expected.

What's going on between those two?

They're just playing around at the bar.

Those two?

I'm pretty open-minded,

so I don't care whether they flirt or fool around...

as long as they do their work.

And if anything, my friend who was never good at picking men...

is finally overcoming her embarrassing past...

and seeing a good man.

It's a good thing.

An embarrassing past?

Yes.

An embarrassing past.

Seo Tae Hyun,

you are an embarrassing past to us.

So don't shame us by showing up in the present...

and just stay in our past.

Na Na and I...

almost came to an end because of you.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Do you have a girlfriend?

I'm sorry?

Yes, I have one.

We always got coffee from the same vending machine...

and fell for each other.

All right.

- Hello, I'm Jayden. - Yes.

I'm a perfumer and this is a perfume I've made.

- Would you like to try it? - Yes, of course.

Here you go.

The scent is very nice.

It's also relaxing.

Thank you.

- Contact me later on. - Okay.

Na Na,

how long are you planning to live with Jung Deun by the way?

Even if you are friends, a man and a woman living together...

don't seem nice.

Danny,

you have any right to misunderstand Jung Deun and me, but...

It's been a while.

Yes.

It's been two years.

Was the man from earlier on your ex?

I thought so.

Why did you guys break up?

He had an affair.

I can't tell you much about that.

Why in the world does one have an affair?

Is it instinct?

Do you think I stay loyal because I don't have an instinct?

Don't get too worked up.

You've seen me.

He'll get his own punishment.

He better does.

Losing me, Jayden Wang is already a punishment itself.

What was...

the vending machine talk from earlier on?

I should come up...

with a different line since I have a real girlfriend now.

Then are you sure that the story of the girl you met...

working part-time is made up?

You really can't remember, can you?

Come over here.

This is the song you played at the bar last time.

It's not.

We already heard it together before that.

Really? You saw me then?

I had no idea.

I've been holding it up for two years since then.

What do you mean to hold back?

Others would think that you asked me out and got rejected two years ago.

What? For me, it really started since then.

I wasn't able to say it because you kept saying...

that you wouldn't date.

Should we go back now?

I think we've been away for too long.

It's okay since the service bartenders are out there.

Then...

should we stay for another five minutes or so?

By the way,

I didn't notice this when I was just working,

but it's a rather private place than I thought.

Is it?

Am I the only one feeling that way?

Maybe it is.

You said another five minutes, right?

Yes. Why?

I think five minutes is enough.

Look at that.

Are you guys flirting?

I guess.

Na Na...

does like closed-up places.

For example,

an empty lecture room.

Hey,

Danny.

Go ahead and go to the bar first.

Why are you messing around now?

You said that...

I was a horrible memory.

But...

now that I think it over,

strangely enough,

it sounds like you liked me a lot.

Isn't it right?

If you didn't like me,

you should have hit me or told everyone that I was a bad guy.

But you didn't do anything.

It's because...

you really liked me a lot.

And...

you're scared now that you'd fall into me again.

You're really funny.

What makes you so confident?

Or is it hard to accept that there's someone...

who doesn't like you?

I'll tell you since you really want to find out.

But...

don't you regret taking revenge...

on Jung Gyu Min?

I do regret.

I should have hit him harder.

Why did you obsess with revenge so much?

You could have just ignored it.

I had to spend my time and feelings to revenge...

as I liked him that much.

If I don't do anything and stay still,

it feels like I didn't like him as much.

I didn't know back then,

but now I do.

The reason why I didn't slap you...

or told everyone that you were a terrible guy,

and didn't do anything to you.

I guess you just weren't worth making such an effort to revenge.

I just didn't like you as much.

That's where you stand to me.

And also,

I'm not flirting with him.

I'm dating him.

So you...

watch your mouth...

in front of my boyfriend.

Did you dump the trash?

Yes, it took me five years to do that.

You were really terrible at picking men.

Look who's talking.

(Dear my XX)
