HAPPY TOGETHER, CO-LIVING HOUSE

Go back in. I'm fine.

I can drive.

Are you out of your mind?

Go in and get back to work.

If you're so worried, I'll ask Kang-woo.

You got hurt because of me.

Get in.

I told you, it doesn't hurt at all.

Do you want me to beat you
before you get in?

Hyun-jin isn't badly hurt, right?

He's a fit guy,

and he knows how to take care
of himself. He'll be fine.

What a troublemaker.

I guess they had something to celebrate.

Na-eun's book is being published.

She must be a popular writer.

I believe this is her first publication.

I thought she had one already.

I didn't know she was an aspiring writer.

That's true, but just because

she wasn't published
doesn't mean she's not a writer.

Right.

HAPPY TOGETHER, CO-LIVING HOUSE

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

They said my bones are fine.

Isn't this a little too much?

Leave it. What if there's an aftereffect?

I won't die from something like this.

I never said you'd die.

It'll be my fault if you end up
becoming jobless.

Is that what this is about?

Because you won't have
a place to live now?

-Are you serious?
-All right, all right. I'll keep it on.

Let's call Hyo-jung while we're at it.

I'll move out no matter what,

so ask her to nurse you starting tomorrow.

-Forget it.
-Why?

Should I call her for you?

-Give me your phone.
-No.

It's

-over between us.
-What's over?

Did you two break up?

-Yes.
-No wonder.

I had a bad feeling
when you returned early.

You should get beaten up.

Go.

HAPPY TOGETHER, CO-LIVING HOUSE

You're really selfish.

Are you saying you'll leave
when my arm is like this?

It's not like you can't use your hands.

You can do most things with one hand.

You told me to ask Hyo-jung
to nurse me earlier.

No arguing.
Stay here until I get my bandages off.

I have many places I could go to.

Do you?

Then tell me where you'll go.

I said I need you.

Fine.

It's my fault,
so I'll stay until you're better.

You can leave after finding a place.

If you're done, let's continue.

This is no time to congratulate me.
We'll do it another time.

Let's just do it since we bought it.
Open the champaign.

Who is it?

What is this?

Is it broken?

No. The doctor overreacted and put this
on me so I wouldn't use my arm.

It's better to have the doctor
overreact than indifferent.

You should come in and celebrate with us.

Should I?

Are you okay, Na-eun?
You looked startled earlier.

I'm okay thanks to Hyun-jin.

-Here.
-Did you fix it?

Was it broken?

I have some tricks up my sleeve.

I'm so glad. Thank you.

It makes me dizzy just thinking about
losing the draft.

Please focus on writing your novel now.

Here.

For Writer Lee Na-eun's
first book publication.

-Congratulations.
-Wait.

I think it's too early to celebrate,
but thank you.

I'll work hard to make sure
my book gets published.

Should we raise our glasses
for all three of us?

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

That looks delicious.

-You should blow out the candles first.
-Yes.

One, two, three, four.

EPISODE 4: EVERYONE IS LONELY

HAPPY TOGETHER, CO-LIVING HOUSE

Come here.

You should take it off for bed.

How come you never last longer
than six months with a girl?

I thought you'd last longer this time.

It's not like I can control it.

You don't have to tell me.

I bet you did
whatever you wanted on the trip.

You should be more considerate.

I can be, but we should break up
if it doesn't work.

Should I change myself for her?

This is why you'll never become an adult.
Grow up.

I can't. No, I won't.

Get up.

How can I sleep if the patient
is sleeping on the floor?

-Go up.
-Really?

Sweet.

How nice.

Don't you know what time it is?

Aren't you going to sleep?

This life's already ruined.

I'll sleep when I die. Goodnight.

Gosh.

Hurry up and get better.

"THE TEMPERATURE OF THE HEART"

"THE TEMPERATURE OF THE HEART"

No. I can do it.

I can do it.

I can do it.

LAUNDRY

SMALL PRACTICES CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.

I heard the news from Bo-ra.
How's Hyun-jin's arm?

Luckily it wasn't broken or cracked.

He'll have to be careful
for a little while.

Thank goodness. I'll help you.

SMALL PRACTICES CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.

ORANGE KIWI

Is this something you drink often?

It's Hyun-jin's. It's organic.

What about this?

That's my taste.

Is that coffee something you like?

This? I drink it because
I often write until late at night.

Hyun-jin is good at eating healthy.

It looks like we have similar tastes.

Why is he so curious about everything?

Good morning!

I'm sorry about yesterday.

It's not like you to do that.

It was the first
since you opened your clinic.

I'm sorry.

What about the appointments we canceled?

I rescheduled them for today.

You have to work twice as hard today.

Did something happen?

Yes.

I helped someone whose life
was about to break into pieces.

I wonder if Na-eun's working well.

Drop Na-eun at the cafe,

then go straight to work in this car.

Okay.
You'll get off at the station, right?

Yes.

Are you going somewhere?

You should come with me
to say hello to A-reum.

I'm meeting a friend from college.

Will you call me when you're done?

I'll pick you up on my way home from work.

Are you my bodyguard or something?

You were so huge
when you were in high school.

You're a quarter of what you used to be.

He was?

I can't imagine it.

When I first moved in,

I wouldn't have recognized him
if he hadn't talked to me.

This is the side effect of popular people.

They only remember what they want.

Yes. Hyun-jin was quite popular.

You're taking Na-eun's side
to talk bad about me.

That's not true.

I'm jealous you have a good friend
like Na-eun.

"THE TEMPERATURE OF THE HEART"

Extremely lonely people

meet in the fourth dimension
and get comforted.

The set-up is unique,
and your writing is good.

But the more I think about it,

I feel like the interpretation of
loneliness is too simple and superficial.

There are a total of four characters,

and they all remind me of you.

-What about you, A-reum?
-Me?

I'm sorry.

It's hard for me to understand
stories like this.

Should I throw it away and start over?

Why would you throw it away
when it's good?

Just fix up the details.

It's good for your first draft.

Right. Didn't you say all kinds of people
live in your share house?

They're in their 20s to their 40s.

They're in different age groups
and fields.

Should I interview them?

SEOUL FAMILY COURT

It'll all be over once I hand in
these documents.

It still doesn't feel real.

It's not the end. It could be a start.

Min doesn't even say he misses his mom.

He used to say he misses her.

I noticed that my ex-wife...

already has a boyfriend.

Should I

murder them for you?

What? Murder who? Min's mom?

Bang!

I'm talking about the thoughts
that bother you.

Gosh.

Kang-woo,

thank you for staying with me today.

I'm glad it helped.

-Yes?
-It doesn't have to be complete.

We just want to understand
your writing style

and your direction.

Can you still give me a little more time?

I want to show you something better.

If that's how you feel,
I have no other choice.

Please call me when you're done editing.

I will. Thank you.
I'll call you very soon.

Okay.

Hello, ma'am.
I called you because of the place.

Yes. I can go over. Okay.

FRIENDLY CONSULTATIONS

HOUSES, MULTI-UNIT HOUSES,
STUDIO APARTMENTS DEALING

HYUN-SIK

Wait just a little. I'm almost there.

Kang-woo, I'm going to die from waiting.

I have a million things
to talk to you about.

About what?

I bet you're trying to ask me for a favor.

Goodness. You're so quick.

You're finally admitting
your dark intentions.

You can tell me what it's about in person.

Yes.

All right. I'm here.

I saw you.

Why are you so happy? It makes me nervous.

How beautiful.

I feel like I can feel the sunlight
in Provence.

How nice.

Ma'am.

I can smell the flower all the way here.

Right?

Try sniffing it up close.

This smells like sunlight.

Gosh. You know your stuff.

I've never met anyone who spoke like you.

It suits you.

Once I get better, I'll visit Provence.

I've only been to Paris so far.

My husband suddenly passed away,

so I've been resting here
to recuperate from the shock.

Right.

Let me tell you a secret.

This hospital

was actually owned by my husband.

No wonder you seemed very special.

I don't think I've ever seen you before.

But you have a good judge of character.

I bet it looks like dementia.

But it's not.

It's been a while since she was diagnosed
with megalomania.

She just looks like
a cute middle-aged lady.

She's here because she can
no longer have a normal social life,

but I'm sure it's still hard
for her family.

When you have time,
can you offer counseling sessions

for the patients' families
and our employees?

I'll check my schedule

and see if I can come by
the next time I'm free in the afternoon.

What do you mean?
You want me to find a new place?

You didn't give me back my deposit.

I'll give you two months' worth of rent.

Try to find a new place with that.

I can't give you back the deposit.

Not until the contract period is over.

Then shouldn't the construction company
pay for my deposit?

Don't even get me started on that.

They're also having a feud
with the agency they got the order from.

I filed a civil complaint,
so it'll eventually get taken care of.

But there's nothing I can do now.

Try to find a place
that doesn't require a deposit.

But...

My gosh, am I supposed to cancel
my installment savings plan?

It hasn't reached its maturity date yet.

My gosh.

INSTALLMENT SAVINGS, 5 MILLION WON

Is something on your mind?

What?

I always have something on my mind.

I worry about where I'm going to sleep
and how I'm going to write.

Why? Are you struggling with your book?

You seem to be working very hard.

I asked the publishing company
to give me a few more days

because I didn't like my work.

That's good. You should use this chance
to settle down as a writer.

Since we're on that subject...

I'm trying to find a place of my own.

I feel bad about
staying at your place like this.

I thought we already settled that issue.

I know we're good friends and all.

But to be honest, I do feel a bit uneasy.

I can't live with you like this forever.

It's not like we're a family.

Okay, you should move
if it bothers you so much.

This time, I won't ask you to stay.

Okay, thank you for understanding.

Instead, I'd better be the first to know
once you find a place.

Deal.

"THE TEMPERATURE OF THE HEART"

-Na-eun.
-Hey.

I knew it. I was right.

I figured you'd be here right now.

If you have time, why don't you join us
for some tteokbokki?

Well, I have a lot to work on today.

Really? We have a lot of makgeolli left
from that night,

so I thought it'd be nice
to chat with each other.

"Chat"?

Sure. A chat with just the girls.

Let's go.

Let's go.

It's really nice that us girls

are spending time together like this.

I feel the same way.

I was feeling hopeless
because I was struggling with my writing.

Na-eun, it looks like
you're working really hard.

Kang-woo told me you're
going to publish a book.

Congratulations.

Oh, my gosh. Really?

Congratulations, Na-eun.

I don't know when it'll publish,

but I'll give each of you a copy
once it's out.

By the way, what is it about?

Can you give us a little spoiler?

To summarize,

it's a story about a group of
lonely people consoling each other

and sharing their stories
with one another.

That's a good topic.

That sounds similar to the people
who live here in this co-living house.

Yes, you're right.

I bet every person who lives here
has a story of their own.

Well, If it's okay,

can I ask you guys something?

When do you feel the loneliest?

I'm not sure.

When a long-term project ends.

I really wanted to lean on someone.

But there wasn't a single person to call.

I think I felt

really lonely when that happened.

Actually, no.

Maybe I just missed
having people around me.

Kyung-won, what about you?

When I can't have

what I want.

Whatever it may be.

That makes you feel

extremely lonely.

I feel lethargic and depressed all day.

Especially when I'm on my way home
after a show.

But when I say this
to those who are around me,

they tell me there's no way
I could have depression.

They think I should be more grateful.

I know I put on a smile
in front of the cameras.

But that's because it helps me make money.

But I don't remember the last time

I actually laughed
because I really wanted to.

It doesn't matter what other people say.
What matters is how you feel.

So don't be bothered
by what your acquaintances think.

If you're having a hard time,
you have all the right to show it.

First, why don't you start
by trying that here?

This is so exhausting.

I'm exhausted.

I'm so exhausted. It's so exhausting!

It's so exhausting
that it's driving me crazy!

Was I too loud?

But telling you that I'm exhausted

is already making me feel better.

You weren't loud.

That sounded better
than all your songs put together.

Thank you.

I'll prescribe you
the medicine you've been taking.

Okay.

But aren't you going to prescribe me
something else other than medicine?

Of course I will.

Which one should I give you?

Press this three times a day.

DIFFERENT MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC

Do you usually dress like this
when you work as a bodyguard?

I'm obligated to protect
my employer's privacy.

So you're very strict
with keeping things confidential.

DIFFERENT MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC

You're free to come even on my off days,

so you should keep getting counseling.

Okay. Thank you, Dr. Cha.

DOCTOR'S OFFICE

Hello, who's calling?

Hey, Kang-woo. It's me, Na-eun.

How did you know my number?

I asked Hyun-jin for your number.

Where are you right now?

Did you drink?

You smell of makgeolli.

I had some makgeolli
with Bo-ra and Kyung-won in the kitchen.

You seem to be in a good mood.

How's your book going?
Is everything going well?

No, I got stuck in the middle.

I asked my friends for feedback.

And they told me all the characters
are just like me.

You must've felt uneasy
when you heard that.

Yes.

So I wanted to ask you something.

Shoot away.

It's about loneliness.

Can you tell me how you feel
when you're lonely?

What?

That was very straightforward.

Unlike you, I didn't even drink.

If you don't want to tell me,
you don't need to.

I just wanted to ask.

Did you expect a unique answer
just because I'm a psychiatrist?

But I do have an example.

Those who feel lonely
more often than others

tend to have more people around them.

-Isn't it ironic?
-Why is that?

They may seem like
they're surrounded by people,

but there's no one
that actually cares for that person.

So in order to meet someone
who really does care for them,

they keep meeting new people
and end up feeling lost.

But if you think about it,

the only person you need by your side
is the person you love

whom also loves you back.

The one person I love

whom also loves me back.

Going down.

The doors are closing.

What's going on?

What's going on?

LAUNDRY

Let's see.

POST BOX

Where was it?

Where's the switch?

My goodness.

What happened?

Connecting emergency call.

-Please wait.
-I think it's a blackout.

What?

What was that?

Na-eun.

Na-eun.

CLUMSY

Where are you?

Hyun-jin, I'm locked in the elevator.

-What?
-The doors won't open,

and the emergency button doesn't work.

Hey, my phone is dying.

Hello? Hey... Hyun-jin...

-My phone is dead.
-Okay, I'll call him.

Na-eun. Na-eun.

Na-eun, stop joking around.

Are you really in there?

Wait.

Didn't you just hear something?

You're delusional. I didn't hear anything.

Standing there like that
won't fix the elevator.

Let's just wait for now.

Don't waste your energy.

Come here and sit down.

We're not strangers.

Come closer.

This won't fall, will it?

That often happens in movies.

The elevator suddenly drops and explodes.

You watched too many movies.
Is it because you're a writer?

Hey, there's something on the wall.

What is it? Is there something behind me?

Na-eun!

Why isn't she answering? Hey!

Hey.

-Hey, Dong-seok.
-What are you doing here?

Dong-seok, Na-eun is
locked inside the elevator.

She won't even respond.

What? Na-eun!

-Na-eun!
-Na-eun.

Everything seemed fine with the fuse box.
What should we do?

Oh, wait. Should we call
Electric Power Corporation?

What?

"Electric Power Corporation"?

Are you serious?

And you call yourself
the owner of this place?

What is it? Why won't you tell me?

A cockroach!

Oh, my gosh. Where is it?

Where is it? Is it gone?

I thought you'd be the type
to kill cockroaches.

I once saw a headless cockroach
at my old house.

It wasn't a clean cut.
It was as if its head was bitten off.

I still get goosebumps

every time I wonder
where that head must be.

That's the creepiest story
I've heard in a while.

Seriously. Where did that head go?

There's the head!

My goodness.

Hey, were you guys here all along?

What about the others?

I don't know. I haven't seen
Dong-seok, Na-eun,

or Hyun-jin.

One, two...

-Are you kidding me?
-Wasn't that fun?

Don't frown. You'll get wrinkles.

It's fun for me.

What is?

The situation we're in right now.

It's thrilling and fun.

Hey, what are you doing?

Let's try one more time.

One, two, three.

Na-eun.

What?

What are you two doing here?

My gosh, who knocked this over?

My goodness.

ELEVATOR MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS

I actually came here for that.

Anyway, I hope it helps with your book.

"ONE PERSON IS ENOUGH"

Thank you for the book.

The lights are finally back on.

Thank goodness.

-Kyung-won.
-Yes?

Your eyebrows...

My eyebrows?

What about them?

What about my eyebrows?

No, you look really cute.

Here you guys are.

Dong-seok.

Did you work out?
Why are you covered in sweat?

Oh, well...

The thing is...

Hey!

What is the matter with you?

Do you not charge your phone?

I'm sorry. My phone turned off
all of a sudden.

Were you worried?

Just forget it.

Since when were you so worried about me?

You normally don't care
even if I come home late.

Why are you overreacting?
This isn't like you.

You'd better stop talking now.

Okay, fine. You're all I have.

But I'm here safe and sound.
That's what matters.

My gosh.

Don't frown. You'll get wrinkles.

MAYBE... MAYBE...

MAYBE HE JUMPED TO...

SENDING EMAIL

THE EMAIL HAS BEEN SENT.

I'm finally done.

Oh, no. My goodness.

My gosh.

RECEIPT

RECEIPT, 400,000 WON

HAPPY TOGETHER, CO-LIVING HOUSE

You must feel relieved
now that you're done editing.

No, not at all.

I'm worried they might give me
negative feedback.

Come on. You stayed up so many nights.

They won't say anything negative.

I really hope so.

-It's all done.
-Thank you.

How can you even go to the bathroom
with your arm like this?

Don't worry about that.

Let's go. We'll be late.

Okay.

HAPPY TOGETHER, CO-LIVING HOUSE

Stop right there.

-My gosh, you're so clumsy.
-What is it?

Your shoelaces are undone.

Hey, Kang-woo.

Hey, you must be on your way to work.

Are you going somewhere today?

I told Hyun-jin
that I could give him a ride.

Why did he insist on taking the taxi?

You would have to go around for him.

You can drop me off over there.

Should I drop you off at your meeting?

Why would you do that?
How much are you charging me for the ride?

I won't charge you anything today.
It's a free ride.

Taking the subway will be faster
than driving.

Then, suit yourself.

Well,

when I was using the laptop yesterday,
I saw the receipt for the repair.

-Oh, that.
-It cost a lot to fix it.

I can't pay you back now,
but I'll pay you back later.

It's all right.
I volunteered to fix it for you.

I'll think of it as my investment
in a potential best-selling writer.

I can't let you do that.

-It was a lot of money.
-Then, how about this?

When your book gets published,
I'll be the first to get your autograph.

You know that
I'm your number one fan, right?

Sure.

But before that, I'll treat you
to a couple of delicious meals.

I'll be honored.

I'll get off over there.

Mr. Kang.

How come you're taking more days off?

Stop whining.
Am I the only senior pilot you have?

You're the only senior pilot I have.

By the way, it's about your injured arm.

Yes. I injured it at home
because I wasn't careful.

But you're the most careful guy.
That can't be!

-Ji-hun.
-Yes.

I know that you like me,

but let's focus on our work first.

I'll ask your colleagues
if you're doing a good job.

-Okay, understood.
-Give me my bag.

Mr. Kang.
But you must come back to work soon!

Sir.

BLUE MIND PUBLISHING HOUSE

Ms. Lee?

Yes. It's nice to meet you.

Please take a seat.

"THE PUBLISHER OF THE YEAR"

We're just starting in this industry.

We haven't published a lot of books.

-Right.
-But we pride ourselves that we have

the eyes to pick out great works.

I read the short novel you sent us.

The editing department including myself
thought it was better than we expected.

Your interpretation skill for themes
was exceptional.

-Thank you.
-Ms. Lee.

We would love to work with you
for a very long time.

-What do you think?
-It's an honor.

I'll do my best.

We knew you would be here today,
so we drew up a contract for you.

CONTRACT

If you like our terms,
I hope you'll sign it today.

This reminds me of the macaron
I had with your father in Paris

on our honeymoon trip.

I see. Is it good?

Yes.

Kyung-won,

should we sell your father's clinic

and move to Paris?

Let's just stay here.

You should think about the patients
who are getting treated at his clinic.

Because of them,

I can't freely spend the money I have.

Until when should we feel obligated
to help the less fortunate ones?

My goodness. What a waste.

Goodness!

What a waste.

Stop it.

I'll clean it up.

Mom,

you should just look elegant

and continue to live

such a life.

HERO

Na-eun?

I thought you would be
too busy to answer it.

One of my patients didn't show up.

You sound happy. Did the meeting go well?

I signed the contract today.

I wanted to tell this news
to my number one fan first.

The publishing house has good eyes.

Earlier today,
I said I'd treat you to a delicious meal.

Can I treat you today?

The studio is ready to go.

I'm going to get to meet the model.

It's a girl that I've been contacting
for selection.

You can trust me on it.

All right. So let us keep in touch.

Bye.

Jung-hoon.

Funny running into you here.

-You must be working now.
-What brings you here?

I'm a very busy woman.

Min-seo is inside, right?

VIP GREEN ROOM

You can't go in right now.

What?

I'm the person in charge here.

I know you're busy,

but I must check your bag
to ensure my employer's safety.

VIP GREEN ROOM FOR MIN-SEO

Thank you for your cooperation.

Do you

not give a pat-down?

I will ask for your permission later
if it's necessary.

VIP GREEN ROOM FOR MIN-SEO

VIP GREEN ROOM FOR MIN-SEO

Hello, Min-seo.

I'm Jeon Bo-ra from Overseas Marketing.

Hi. I've heard a lot about you.

I'm sure you were informed
about the shoot.

Should we head over to our studio?

Yes.

I'm sure you know

editing doesn't always
make stories better.

But you were able to improve
the quality in that short time.

You deserve to be a writer.
There's no doubt.

My gosh. I didn't do much.

It's all thanks to you guys.

Goodness.

Na-eun, you look so happy.

Good job.

You should eat a lot today. Well done.

Great job.

I can't wait
until your book gets published.

We'll definitely hold a book concert.

Of course. And it will be at my cafe
no matter what.

And of course. All the drinks
will be free and unlimited.

Girls, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Let's discuss it
when my books hit the bookstores.

Okay.

So you're going to ditch us
and go see your number one fan?

You said dating and marriage
were only a hassle.

But I guess Kang-woo is an exception.

It's not a date.
Don't get any weird ideas.

Right. It's not a date at all.

That's what everyone says
when they start dating.

Slowly, they are captivated by each other.

Hey. My goodness. Gosh.

HYUN-JIN

-Hey.
-You didn't have dinner yet, right?

I'm going to buy sushi.
Do you want some?

I'm meeting Kang-woo for dinner.

-With Kang-woo?
-Yes.

Do you want to join us?

I'm good. I'll see you at home later.

I guess you come here regularly.

Yes. This is the best restaurant I know.
Try some.

Did they sprinkle some magical powder?

-I approve.
-Thanks to your interview,

I was able to wrap up my short novel.

And I even signed a contract
for a full-length novel.

Thank you for everything.

I didn't do much.

No, you helped me a lot.
You fixed my laptop too.

Stop talking about that.

I totally embarrassed myself
for going to a repair shop.

But it looks like
I was pretty helpful this time.

Once you become a famous writer,

I'm definitely going to collect then.

Save up all of your points for helping me.

I'll pay you back in installments.

And pay me for interest too.
My rate is pretty high.

It's all right. Go answer your phone.

-What is it this time?
-You're so heartless.

You really won't see your dad?

Were you even listening to me?

I said I won't visit him until he's dead.

Don't regret it later. Just come now.

He misses you.

He asked about you.

Hang up if that's all you want to tell me.

Na-eun. Thank you for a nice meal.

I'll buy you a more expensive meal
once my book gets published.

Sure.

By the way, do you have some time now?

Are you all right?

What?

You don't seem like you're in a good mood.

Was it that obvious?

I was trying to pretend otherwise.

You got me.

I catch on faster than the others.

Perhaps, it's because my mom
used to scold me ever since I was a kid.

As long as you don't mind,
should we walk in silence?

I don't like silence. It's not fun.

Did you tell your parents the news?

I will, once my book gets published.

My mom will probably tell me
I won't make much from selling books.

She hates that I'm a writer.

I take it that you're not
on good terms with your mother.

It's a typical relationship
between a mom and a daughter.

We hate each other,

but we can never live without one another.

When I think about my mom,

about 500 more words come to my mind
than other people.

But you're lucky to have a mom at all.

Everyone in this world is lonely.

LUCKY RENTAL: YOU HAVE 3 DAYS
TO RETURN THE BAG.

Even when you drink

and dress up in expensive clothes...

NA-EUN...

NA-EUN...

We can try all we want
to pretend that we're fine.

But we end up suffering
in our inevitable loneliness.

NA-EUN...

But luckily,
when it comes to loneliness,

everyone gets a fair share.

It's such a good day for you.

Are you holding back your happiness
because of me?

No, I'm not.

To be honest,

I thought I would jump up and down
because I'd be excited.

But?

My dream is about to come true.

But I have a lot on my mind.

"Did I write a good story?"

"Will my book sell?"

"What will people think of it?"

Are you already scared?

So far in my life,

nothing ever happened the way I wanted.

And actually, all the publishing houses
didn't want to publish my book.

That's why you seemed lonely.

But at least, you don't feel empty inside.

How is feeling empty any different
than feeling lonely?

I'm not sure.

But when you feel empty inside,

it sounds like you'll cry and be alone
even until the end.

But when you feel lonely,

it sounds like

someone will come for you
if you start crying.

Who's Lee Na-eun?

She's a writer. Who else would she be?

I wanted to lower the risks.
That's what we were going for.

Me.

You? You'll take my profile photos?

You seem to be very interested
in me lately.

What do you mean?

It's never happened before.

I've never rooted for someone
to fulfill her dream.

Congratulations on publishing your novel.

-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.

Na-eun, something is off.

My dream...

I only dreamed it with you.
