EPISODE 5

-Are you here to work out? -I'm here to park.

I'll work out since I'm here.

I got you a membership so you'd work out, but I guess you use it for parking.

But still, it's nice that I got to run into you.

I know you got me the membership for that reason.

So we'd run into each other.

You caught me.

-What are you here for? -For the spa. Would you like to join?

I saw the news photo, and your skin looked rough.

No thanks.

Is everything else okay?

Obviously not.

Your dad suggested that we should go and repent.

Why would you repent when I'm the one who caused trouble?

Because it's obvious that you won't.

I'll be off now.

-Bye. -Bye.

Please wait in the car. I need to talk to him.

Okay.

We're trying to stop the articles from spreading.

But we have no control over social media.

Be careful not to do anything to get your photo taken.

-Don't even throw garbage on the street. -Got it.

Sir.

Can you update me first

on everything regarding my interpreter?

Why do you still care about her?

I owe her a lot. It's only right that I care.

I don't understand

why you're always the only one who has good manners.

That interpreter must've acted innocent when she was with you.

But don't get fooled.

You talk as if she's a bad person.

Your dad asked her to keep an eye on you and paid her in return.

And she took every single penny.

Does she seem like a bad person now?

He paid her?

It seems like you're the bad person.

Did my father pay you?

Remember what I said?

That I might make a mistake?

So this is what you call a mistake.

You have such a noble character.

I thought you meant something else.

It's true.

He paid me, and I took it.

You can be disappointed in me.

Don't stop yourself.

Now you know.

I've always been embarrassed of my dad for being like that.

Why did you

take the money?

It could've gotten in your way.

I already have enough in my way.

People who give me money already know about my weakness.

You might not know since you're rich, but I've had this happen to me often.

OH MI-JOO

People who give me money think

they've reached a compromise only if I take their money.

If I don't, it means I'm going to ignore them.

How do you feel now that you know I got paid?

You hate that kind of stuff.

I do.

Then you can hate me, be disappointed, and just forget about me.

Yes.

And tell myself that everything you did for me was fake.

But I don't want to.

Even if your words and consolations were all fake,

they were still meaningful.

Why are you being so kind?

Because I want to.

-Why? -I just do.

Seon-gyeom.

Don't be like that.

You may be embarrassed, but I feel like a wreck, so just stop it.

I normally don't mind taking that kind of money.

That's not even me at my lowest. It's just who I am.

But this time,

I kept feeling uneasy about it because of you.

You make me feel like I'm worthless.

You make me feel like a good person,

but then you make me feel worthless at times.

But you see,

I really hate feeling that way.

Give me my gun.

Let's forget that there was anything between us two.

I'll give it back if you say you won't.

-Are you kidding? -No, I'm not.

Okay, fine. Whatever.

I'm too tired to even talk back.

Give me that.

Why is there no soju at home?

Who drank it all?

Right. I did.

I didn't buy any on my way home.

If I drink in this kind of mood, that would be an illness.

Where are the sleeping pills?

I need to go to sleep. Where are you?

Here it is.

KI

Did you seriously just call me?

Must I start the day hearing your voice?

Are you bored? You must be really bored without me.

Are you getting anxious because you're not training?

I drank alcohol yesterday.

Who is this? This can't be Seon-gyeom.

Last time I drank, it felt pretty nice.

I heard people drink to relieve their stress.

So I was going to drink a ton, sleep in,

and spend all day in bed.

But I found myself running again.

Is that why you called me? Did you feel lost?

I have no one to talk to because I don't have any friends.

What are you talking about? Who do you think I am? Your girlfriend?

Hang up. I need to train.

What an annoying punk.

-It's been a while. -Yes, it has.

-You look great. -Yes.

Hello, ma'am.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Assemblyman Ki. -Deacon.

I hear your son got into college.

Yes, it's all thanks to you.

-Thank you. -Hello.

-Let's go inside. -Okay.

Hello.

Let's go.

WONIL CHURCH

Sir. Ma'am. Hello.

I heard the news.

You must be very upset.

Yes. But it's all because I wasn't a better father.

You must pray at times like this.

-Let us pray together. -Okay.

Lord, kindly show us mercy and forgive us the sins

we’ve committed this past week with your gracious love.

Lord, your faithful believers,

Assemblyman Ki and his wife are currently being tested.

-Amen. -However, we trust

that this test is a blessing in disguise

to help them to do more good deeds and achieve greater things.

Amen.

Their path is of full thorns and hardships.

Lord! Please guide their children toward the righteous path

so they can find their way back to the church.

Dear Lord! Please bless this family

-with your everlasting love and peace. -Amen.

I pray in the name

of our living Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

-What's the matter with you? -I want that!

-Buy me chocolate! -What?

There's still some left at home.

I'm sorry.

Can I give it to her?

I bought more than enough.

Gosh, you don't need to.

Go ahead and say "Thank you."

Thank you.

I forgot I still had this.

Should I throw it away?

Gosh, it's really expensive.

Should I sell it online?

Why are you here today? Is this another deal you're making?

You're the Deal Killer.

Of all the things he could've said…

You're a better actor than I am.

Watch what you say.

I'm always sincere before the Lord.

I would be even more disgusted if that was the case.

Assemblyman Ki.

My goodness, it's so nice to see you here.

It's been so long.

Things must be hard because of your son.

Well, yes. But I believe it's all part of the Lord's plan.

Honey, say hello. He's Assemblyman No Geun-seong.

He's a young politician on the rise.

Hello, I'm Yook Ji-woo. I'm his wife.

Gosh, you don't need to introduce yourself.

I heard your daughter came back to Korea. It must be nice to see her again.

Yes. Thank you for showing interest.

It's hard not to know about your family.

My dream is to play a round of golf with your daughter.

We haven't met in a while, so let's eat together.

-Sure. -Let's go.

I bet you did great though.

It wasn't that great.

-My goodness, Ye-chan. -Hello.

You're a senior, but you haven't gained any weight.

You're getting prettier every day just like your mother.

Thank you.

Your mom prays a lot for your college entrance.

You should go to a nice college like your brother.

Yes.

-Eat up. -Thank you.

So prayers get me into a nice school?

Don't be sarcastic. She meant well.

-Ms. Dong. -I haven't seen you here lately.

I come quite diligently for an atheist.

Aren't you going to eat? The assemblymen--

I'm on a diet. I'm getting ready for a movie.

I see. Ye-chan, say hello.

She's Ms. Yook. She's my daughter.

Hello, Ms. Yook.

I really like the look in your eyes. Do you exercise?

No. Not at all.

She used to box when she was little to learn self-defense.

-But not anymore, right? -Right.

She's fit for liberal arts.

Oh, I see. Then just forget what I said.

-Ms. Dong. -Yes?

-Can we talk for a moment? -Sure.

Goodbye then.

-I really like her. -Why?

-Because she doesn't judge. -She doesn't what?

She didn't judge how I looked. She didn't compare me to you.

Is Korean hard for you?

You make it hard for me to understand. Eat up.

-Hello. -Hello.

Oh, hello.

What time is the table read?

It's at 3:00 p.m. Should I go pick you up, Ji-woo?

Why did he have to bring me here today?

Aren't you sick of this?

I'm sick of living like this.

But you still always go.

-Should I buy you coffee? -Yes.

Add three more shots so I can drink it and die.

The agency must be in a mess. What did the advertiser say?

They don't want a model who beats people up, right?

We're dealing with it. You know we're good at doing our jobs.

Seon-gyeom seemed to be doing okay.

-Did you meet him? -I ran into him.

Please look into him every now and then.

You're closer to him than I am.

You can slowly get closer to him too.

You're right.

I wonder why I feel so embarrassed about

being close and friendly with my kids.

But you act for a living.

That's easier than being a mom.

I envy you. I need to do both.

Being a working mother in Korea really sucks, doesn't it?

It'd be nice if Assemblyman Ki could change things.

Gosh, that's probably the last thing on his mind.

-Hey! -My gosh, look.

-Eat up. -Thank you.

This is 250mm.

Gosh, you get bigger every time I see you.

Thank you.

You guys exercise even during break time? I'm impressed.

Your posture got better.

-Really? -Straighten your back a little.

-Okay. -Pull your chin down a bit.

-Okay. -Perfect.

By the way, Mr. Ki, did you really hit someone?

-Yes. -You're lying.

-I don't lie. -Don't lie.

Why did you hit them?

You shouldn't be asking me why.

Just think of me as a bad person.

Now that I'm here, I'll help you fix your postures.

Let's see you guys move your arms.

You can't be a bad person. You promised to be our coach.

-Move your arms. -Were they seriously hurt?

Wouldn't they forgive you if you apologized?

Move your arms.

She's right. You can start over.

"Start over"?

"Start over"? I don't know.

I don't know if I'm standing in front of the starting line or the finish line.

I don't know if this is the beginning, nearly over,

or the end.

What do you mean?

-I'm not sure. -Give it.

-Give it. It's mine. -Wear something else.

-There are so many. -I grabbed it first.

-Shouldn't you stop them? -That's mine.

You're the adult here.

Not on my own though. Could you lend me a hand?

Sure.

-Hey, what's going on? -Stop arguing!

-Guys. -Come on!

I'm embarrassed to tell you this,

but it's because of the articles.

Since this is an educational facility,

the management have been showing their disapproval.

Even the parents complained about you mentoring the track and field athletes,

and we've been receiving calls about how you're a bad influence.

I understand.

The teachers have known you for years now,

and we know this isn't who you are.

But you can never really tell what someone is like.

I'd like to keep sponsoring the athletes,

so would it be okay if I did it under a different name?

Thank you. We wouldn't mind.

Neither would I.

Only 500m to go!

-Let's go! -Let's go!

I'll take on that musical film. The next La La Land as you call it.

I already handed it over to another translator.

I have to be busy. I need to be.

You're being weird.

Someone gave me money recently out of pity.

Lucky you.

It's not easy receiving free money at this age.

-I gave it back. -That's a shocker.

For Ki Seon-gyeom's sake.

Is it him that you've been pitying?

Being pitied is the worst, you know.

Can being pitied be bought too?

Lucky rich bastards.

What about you then?

When did you buy the right to pity Ki Seon-gyeom?

That's totally different.

And how am I supposed to know that?

It was Ki Seon-gyeom's father who paid me

and Ki Seon-gyeom found out.

How's that for context?

That prick of an old man.

How dare he treat you like some bum?

What's funny though

is that I'm worried he might've told his son about my adversities.

I'm scared that he might have found out that I've been putting up an act

when I have nothing to offer.

What has he to find out when you never hid it?

I guess I'm just embarrassed of myself.

He's so annoying. He makes me feel like a loser.

That hurts.

So are you just going to end it?

It's the end of the road once you start pitying someone.

-Last rep! -Let's do this!

Why bother training when it won't lead to a gold medal?

Ashamed, my ass.

You're bolder than ever.

PRESIDENT SEO DAN AH

Here's the list for this quarter.

Each one is crappier than the next.

A pure list of trash.

The second son of Dongjeong Pharmaceuticals is a divorcé.

-And he has a son? -He got divorced twice.

Am I only allowed to marry someone with flaws?

I guess my father thinks I'm flawed since I came out of the closet.

Or maybe he's punishing me for lying.

KI SEON-GYEOM

Is this his father's doing?

Look at him quickly selling off his damaged son.

He's the youngest here though and isn't bad to look at.

It's his way of telling you to come by the company.

When I'm this busy?

What do you think though?

Choosing the pretty Ki Seon-gyeom to marry will solve my marital issue.

Why aren't you answering?

Because he'll probably decline.

You're right. Put down a day to visit my father.

Sure thing.

While Greece has its mythology,

Korea has the myth of Dangun.

I'm sure that explains why we should study Greek gardens.

In that sense, we'll move on to the Garden of Adonis.

I'm sure Adonis is a familiar name to all of you.

He was the lover of the beautiful Aphrodite.

It's said that he loved to hunt.

However, while out hunting, he was bitten by a wild boar and died.

Imagine how heartbroken Aphrodite must have been.

She poured nectar, the drink of the gods, over his blood

which created the flower known as anemone.

Why should we learn about Greek gardens when we're Korean?

I should've dropped this class.

Did you find your card case?

I probably dropped it somewhere. I canceled my cards for now.

You need your student ID to work late on campus.

I did in freshman year,

but now the security guards know my face.

You've gone onto bewitching the security guards of all people?

Why are people laughing at me?

Do I look funny?

So I'm a cat today.

What's with that boring response?

It's nothing new. So what's for lunch?

Grilled fish.

Grilled fish?

Grilled fish, meow?

-What the hell? -Meow.

After eating grilled fish, I'll head to the studio.

-Meow! -You're crazy.

-Meow! -Damn it.

Lighten up, will you?

Yeong-hwa!

Are you done with classes today, meow?

We were wondering if you could help us, meow.

Some boards have to be carried to the studio,

but we're lacking the manpower, meow.

I'll be there after lunch, meow!

-Got it, meow. -Got it, meow.

Meow!

I thought you were the prince of the art department,

but you're the slave.

However, this slave is more into someone cool than cute.

Someone cool? A fellow student?

No, someone who lives at a place so high up

that I can barely see her.

A modern-day Rapunzel?

Rapunzel?

I do wish to drag her down.

-I want to color this. -Teacher!

-Do you need help? -Here.

Maybe a little later.

I'm all done. Whatever.

Look at this.

-I want… -Want me to draw something?

-What should I draw? -Yes?

-Here. -Let me see.

-That's pretty. -Is it a watermelon?

What will you draw?

-Hold on. -It's a rabbit.

-Here. -Should I draw you one too?

-Also, a cat. -A cat as well?

That's what you'll draw?

Okay. In a moment's time though.

-What will you draw? -Over here!

-Right. -A giraffe, too.

-Do you want to draw a giraffe? -What should I draw?

Your order will be ready soon.

-Thank you. -Thanks.

-Ms. Oh. -Yes?

Gone is the Night won awards in India and Bergen.

It's all thanks to you.

Director Han must be thrilled,

but it's you who did most of the heavy lifting.

It's thanks to you that I made it to the festival in one piece.

-Did you watch The Strange Red Carpet? -Yes.

Will you revise the subtitles?

I'd jump at the chance to revise my work.

I get to perfect it.

I'm just sorry that we won't be able to pay you.

Don't be silly. I'm only doing it because I want to.

You seem to be sporting a tan. Were you off on vacation?

-Please enjoy. -It was for a shoot, not vacation.

The sun was blazing in Chungyang.

Is that so?

You went over this script last year.

-Do you remember it? -The American indie film?

It's filming in Korea too, right? I see filming has already begun.

How can you ask someone to join the movie two months before filming?

This is killing me.

It must be hard to interpret the words exchanged on set.

You have to translate both ways.

-Tell me about it. -Goodness.

You were in a movie club in college, weren't you?

Yes, those were some fun days.

I don't remember ever mentioning that though.

Oh, that. Well, you see,

Director Han said that's where he met you.

Right. Director Han and I

-go way back. -Yes, you two dated.

I mean, you broke up.

I should've become a widow instead.

Is it too late for that?

No, you know how they say it's never too late.

-It's not late at all. -Damn him.

Good, you're here.

You sound like you're dying.

Gosh. I ran upstairs from the first floor.

So much for going on a walk.

-Did you have a meeting? -Yes, with Hui-jin.

There's a rumor going around

that I only got the job because I dated Han Seok-won.

Apparently, everyone on set gossiped about how we used to date.

Even his girlfriend was there.

-I see. -What?

Why does it sound like you already knew?

How can I not know what Hui-jin knows

when I work in this industry too?

Don't ask why I didn't tell you.

You haven't been yourself lately and I didn't want to add onto that.

LONG TIME NO SEE, FRIENDS I'M GETTING MARRIED

SEOUL HOTEL, HILL LOUNGE, 2 P.M.

No way. Yoon Gong-ju's getting married. She's giving out wedding invitations.

Yoon Gong-ju? The one you went to Florida with?

With? She practically dragged me there.

The princess needed a maid

and I needed the funding.

Why here of all places?

This is where Seon-gyeom stays.

I'm not going.

Yes you are.

You can't tell your heart to stop feeling.

It's never too late to do so when it sends you a signal.

Just be grateful that you have an excuse to run into him.

An excuse?

As if I'd really go.

There's no way I'm going.

No way.

May, can I borrow your purse? I can't look shabby!

Kim Woo-sik…

Why hasn't his article been published? Are the reporters sleeping on this?

Merciless, aren't they?

Ta-da, here's today's main dish.

-Here. -The wedding invite.

Let's take a look.

My gosh, how pretty.

Is this where your wedding is at?

I'm jealous!

My darling went through hoops booking the venue.

Lucky you.

Mi-joo,

why aren't you getting married?

-Why are you? -Why am I getting married?

Yes.

My parents have been insisting and…

-Why must I explain this? -You realize that after you're confronted?

I only asked because I care about you.

It's more weird staying single than getting married.

You can't afford to be this naive anymore.

-I thought that made me charming. -It did when you were 20.

You upset me a lot back in the day,

but I never said anything, you know.

She'd never hang out with me

because she was too busy working part-time jobs.

Money for tuition and meals doesn't just fall from the sky.

Why not ask your parents for the money?

Hey…

Sorry. I forgot about your parents being gone.

Hey, Woo-sik.

I heard you left the training camp.

You moved out completely.

The public is enraged,

so staying would only bring trouble to others and you.

Of course, I should leave.

Right.

I guess you're right.

Call me whenever you're in Seoul. We should eat.

-How about this week? -This week?

I want to treat you to a nice meal.

It slipped my mind

that you were in that foster--

-Foster care? -Yes.

It's just that you always seem bright and happy--

Should I seem glum all the time so that you never forget?

Must you put it that way?

No wonder you're still single.

Stop it, you both.

Must you argue on a day like this?

I'm sorry, guys.

I'll make it up to you some other time.

I'll get going then.

Must you be like that when you know her situation?

She's all haughty despite being beneath me.

She's only nice to you guys.

That's because we're nice to her too.

Whatever.

Excuse me, can we get some more wine?

Seriously, May? What's with the cigarettes?

No way. Not after what it took for me to quit.

Okay, I'll smoke just one.

Damn it, May. Isn't there a lighter in here?

I'm sorry,

you can't smoke on the premises of the hotel.

Not having a lighter is shitty enough,

but now I'm being told I can't freely smoke.

-Unbelievable. -I'm sorry, but--

Could I perhaps borrow a lighter?

I don't carry one being a non-smoker and all.

I see.

What should I do then?

Beats me. Maybe--

-Let me help. -Hello.

She's with me. I'll take it from here.

And this… Follow me.

Were you perhaps just at the lounge?

Yes.

Did you hear everything?

-Hear what? -Anything.

I did. Music, to be exact.

When did you spot me?

When you took this out.

You could've looked the other way.

I was waiting to say something to you.

That's out of the blue. Why didn't you call or text?

Woo-sik wants to treat us to a meal.

He just told me, you see.

I see.

He doesn't know your number,

so he asked me to invite you instead.

"Us" as in you and me?

If that's the case, please tell him the gesture is enough.

I won't be there if it makes you uncomfortable,

so please accept his offer.

Then please text me his phone number.

I'll take it from there.

That movie was still showing.

-Which one? -The one we saw together.

The one you had to watch since you didn't know

when it'd be taken down.

Did you really believe me?

Was it a lie?

I wouldn't call it a lie, but I had to say it.

It was an excuse to make you stay.

Same here.

Mentioning Woo-sik and the movie was an excuse

to keep you from going.

Anyway, just in case,

please know that I didn't come here

so that I'd have a reason to run into you.

I was here to meet some friends, and I already had my meal and coffee.

I hate working out and home is where I sleep.

Why did you ask me to follow you earlier?

To escort you to a smoking area.

Unbelievable.

It's times like these that make me fond of your personality.

I thought you hated it.

The cigarette…

I'll figure it out myself.

I feel a lot better now, you see.

Thank you

for not asking what's wrong.

I mean it.

CROWN PUB

-It's ours. -Enjoy.

Thank you.

Finally, a hangover meal.

It's good.

-Is it? -Yes.

How many chickens can you buy with two million won?

A hundred.

A hundred?

That means she gave me a robe worth a hundred chickens.

Have you met anyone like that?

My mom's CEO carries a bag that's worth ten million won.

Ten million won?

-How many chickens can you buy with that? -Five hundred.

Did you get swindled out of money?

Forget it. She's actually the one who was swindled.

Hey, didn't you say your mom works for an agency?

What was it called again?

DANN.

It's DANN, isn't it?

Yes.

Do you want an internship?

Yes.

I'm eating with Yeong-hwa.

Okay.

-Was that your mom? -Yes.

She wants me to bring something over.

She left something.

Hey, I brought my bicycle. I'll give you a ride.

Let's stop by the bank on the way.

-Did you get your tutoring fee? -Yes.

I see.

Pay for the chicken. My mom's the one paying you.

I need to spend that money elsewhere.

I may be having cereal for the entire month.

Could you please check?

How many I help you?

I'm here to see Director Dong Kyung. She told me to bring this.

Yes, I heard.

The meeting will be over soon. Come upstairs with me.

Okay, thank you. Goodbye.

She's the one who carries 500 chickens.

It really is her.

You came together.

Hey. This is my son, Goh Ye-jun, and his friend, Yeong-hwa.

This is President Seo Dan-ah, our boss.

Hello.

How old is your son again?

How old are you?

-I'm 23. -He's 23 years old.

He went to school early, so he's younger than his friends.

I see. It's nice to meet you all.

Ye-jun, my hands are full, so please follow me.

Yes, ma'am.

Let's go.

Have you been painting?

Yes, at school for an assignment.

How did you know?

How could I not? You're reeking of varnish.

So you can see me.

Why did you ignore me just now?

Because I didn't see the need to.

I didn't think we'd meet again.

So you only say hi when you need someone.

I don't know what that is, but I don't think I need it.

-It's money. -It is?

What's this for?

It's 500,000 won for the bracelet. I said I'd pay you back.

Oh, that?

You could've left it at the lobby.

But it's such a hefty sum of money.

A hefty sum?

Did you hear that?

What's so funny?

Why do I feel offended?

I still haven't received the email that I need to confirm.

Yes. I'll check up on it.

Ms. Seo.

Aren't you going to greet me?

You're required to come here from time to time

and forced to look through some prospective partners.

It's such a pain in the ass.

You're so noisy.

The smallest mutts bark the loudest.

They're such cowards.

If you want to help your family out, just get married.

Fulfill your duties as a daughter.

I know it was a lie when you came out of the closet.

Are you talking about me being a lesbian?

Yes, that.

How could you do that just to get out of getting married?

-You should be ashamed. -Are you outing me right now?

In front of a third party?

Hey, Seo Myeong-min.

"Hey, Seo Myeong-min"?

-Are you crazy? -My courtesy must have made

you think you're better than me when I'm actually older.

You call Tae-woong a bastard, but you're also one yourself

and talk down on the legitimate heir.

Society has come a long way, hasn't it?

No matter how much progress we've seen,

you'll never become a CEO

because I'm the rightful heir, you wench.

You're right.

You fit its definition perfectly.

"A daughter born of the mainline of descent

may not take over the responsibilities of her family shrine.

But a son from a lowly mother may take over the responsibilities."

Lowly mother? Did you just badmouth my mom?

Both you and I like women and want to become the CEO.

But it's abnormal for me and normal for you.

The only difference we have is our gender.

Should I expose the fact that you're an illegitimate child?

What will happen then?

How dare you threaten me?

Look at you. I only stated the facts,

but you got scared and took this as a threat.

Mr. Jeong, I'm in a terrible mood. I don't think I can see the chairman.

I ought to…

Had we met outside…

Stop glaring at me.

This is why I dislike you.

You obey me right away, so I feel more offended.

I'm sorry.

If you are,

know where your loyalty lies, Ji-hyun. Got that?

Don't be a fool who listens to a woman.

Are you two dating or something?

I told you to stop glaring.

I told you to stop!

I feel so shitty!

Damn it.

Here's your coffee.

What are you doing? You should come inside.

It's nothing.

What about you?

I'm filling in for the owner. She has to leave early.

-Come. I'll give you coffee. -It's okay.

I'll come next time when you're working. I don't think I should say hi.

What are you talking about?

I need to make more canvases.

Bye. Work hard.

You can fix this, right?

We can't fix this here.

-Go to the store. -Where is it?

Probably at a department store or Cheongdam-dong.

Goodness, what happened? This is worth ten million won.

What? How much?

Ten million won?

She was wearing 500 chickens.

-Eat up. -Thank you.

RESERVED

Ma'am, one small duck soup and soju, please.

Okay.

Ms. Oh.

What?

What are you doing here?

And you? What are you doing here?

Woo-sik is buying me dinner.

I'm also here because he said he'd buy me food.

It's you, right? You're the only young customers.

It is you two.

A-ryeon asked for a reservation.

Don't you know who that is?

May we get some water?

Coming.

Hurry up and sit down. Move. Don't stand in my way.

Then…

I'll eat over there. You two can eat here.

You need to order at least two servings per table. Can you eat that much?

Just sit with us.

I already said I won't be joining you.

I thought you meant you won't be eating with us.

Woo-sik can't make it.

What?

He wants us to reconcile.

-What? -I think this was intentional.

My grandma's friend is the owner. Their food is tasty.

You two fought in Jeju, right?

I hope you make up over some good food.

I'll sit out.

Gosh, you're still avoiding each other.

We don't have many seats. Just sit together already.

And drinks? Do you want some soju?

Yes, please.

Look at you.

How is Woo-sik doing physically and emotionally?

He sounded okay, but who knows?

And you?

I'm…

I should've asked sooner.

Right.

I'm putting up with people calling me a violent athlete.

Thanks.

And you?

I'm working on a Blu-ray…

Right. How do I explain?

I'm just working on a good project.

I was disqualified.

Have you been dropped? I didn't read anything about that.

Those articles will come out soon.

But this is about the track and field coaching position.

You mean those young kids?

Did you know that fast athletes are born that way?

Some people are born with fast twitch fibers.

You can improve your technique through practice,

but there's a limit to how fast you can run.

That's why aspiring athletes should be nurtured at a young age.

Or it would be our nation's loss, wouldn't it?

Did you ever think

that it's the athlete's fault that we can't win a gold medal?

I'm not too sure.

We lack a systematic environment

where we can recognize and nurture these young athletes.

That's why

I wanted to offer an environment where they could solely focus on sports.

You've been doing that.

You've been sponsoring them.

Take Woo-sik's case for example. You helped and protected him.

You did what Jerry Maguire did.

What was that called again?

-An agent? -Yes, that's what you were.

That wasn't what I did.

In our country, an agent usually aids you in legal matters.

Like an attorney?

I think it's more like a representative.

Then do you have an agent as well?

Track and field athletes don't usually have agents.

I guess Ms. Seo is one.

She scouted me.

She manages my look and my scandals.

When I cause trouble like now, she's the one who steps up.

She's like a human shield.

You just described yourself. Especially the human shield part.

But I failed.

I couldn't do anything.

Why not include your failures as a part of the process?

It's also a part of your journey to success.

Jerry Maguire also hit rock bottom before succeeding.

Who is he exactly?

Do you not know that movie?

Don't you know that movie starring Tom Cruise?

What about this scene?

"Show me the money." Don't you know this?

What's the title?

I'll watch it later.

Jerry Maguire.

The title is a person's name?

Yes.

I think asking questions like that is a good habit.

Most people don't ask at all or only ask about things that are too personal.

You would've been a good student.

Should I pick up studying again since I'm jobless?

Study what?

English.

By yourself?

Do you tutor as well?

Up until two years ago, I did tutor on the side.

But I'm too busy with my main job to do it now.

-We should've met then. -What? What is this?

Seeing how you're spewing nonsense, you must be a bit tipsy.

I'm okay.

Being unemployed will be boring.

Let me know if you get bored.

If I do? Will you hang out with me?

Sure, if I'm not busy.

Sure.

Was that a scene

from that movie? Is it?

What's wrong with you?

-You said so yourself. -You're kidding, right?

I'm just curious. I want to watch it.

Thank you for the food.

Don't mention it.

She's…

CONGRATULATIONS TO SHIN A-RYEON'S GRANDSON, KIM WOO-SIK

FOR BECOMING A NATIONAL ATHLETE

Thank you…

for helping for Woo-sik.

I should've thanked you sooner.

I found out that he was 20 years old.

I met May when I was his age, and my life became a bit better.

Before that, my life was pretty gloomy.

Woo-sik must think of you the same way.

In the long run, don't you think it's a good thing for him

to have someone like you?

It is.

Even in the short run.

IS IT TRUE THAT THE ATHLETE KI SEON-GYEOM ASSAULTED YOU

The first time they assaulted me

was in high school

when I first joined the track team.

SURPRISING TWIST ABOUT CHOI TAE-RI'S EX-BOYFRIEND

PUBLISH

CONFIRM

HUMOR SCHOOL

DUBAE DREAM

I'm sorry, but I don't quite remember.

To tell you the truth, I never thought it was weird

because it's common for athletes to get beaten up.

Seon-gyeom was the only person

who told me that it was wrong no matter what

-What? -the reason was.

-Check this out. -What?

-Look at this. -What is that?

Isn't this about those athletes who assaulted each other?

-That lunatic who confessed about it? -Yes.

-I said help me out! -Look.

It wasn't Choi Tae-ri's ex after all.

Who was it then?

Park Gyu-deok and Kim Gi-beom? I'm shocked.

I can't believe this. It disgusts me.

Did you read the post about Choi Tae-ri's boyfriend?

Is it true?

Yes. I wrote it. Please share it with everyone.

Okay. I've shared it already.

You got it. We're loyal friends.

The reasons for the assaults were simple.

It was because I won a medal.

Because I didn't buy them cigarettes. Because it rained.

Because being poor was acceptable, but being an orphan wasn't.

The Daily Sports New York published an article about a Korean athlete.

The Korean translation has gone viral already.

It's already causing a stir on social media.

Should we write an article on it?

Yes, do that immediately. And upload it as our headline.

I know some people may ask why I've been silent about it.

They may think I'm dense.

Being assaulted was frightening.

But not being able to run was even more terrifying.

I didn't want to worry my grandmother either.

I believed everything would be fine if I endured it.

After some time,

it was bearable.

All the articles claiming that Ki Seon-gyeom

was the assailant aren't true.

He's the only person who was on my side.

REHABILITATION CENTER

Did Woo-sik come by today?

No, he didn't.

I was inspired by Ki Seon-gyeom to run,

and I always strived to be like him.

I need to be in rehab for months because of the recent assault.

"Will I be able

to make the same records after getting rehab?

Will I even be able to come back?"

I thought for a long time

and have decided not to come back.

I'm going to quit sports.

I came here prepared to say this.

Did you already know

that Woo-sik was quitting?

Yes. I interpreted for him.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because you'd be like this.

You did what you did, hoping he'd continue.

So I thought it'd break your heart to know that he was quitting.

Why did you have to let me find out like this?

Both of you.

You have so much to learn.

You're considerate to everyone around you.

Did you not think that kind boy would feel the same way?

No one is born

being able to endure pain from the start.

So…

don't try to seem okay if that's what you're doing.

Come inside for now.

Come on.

Don't tell me you don't know what I'm doing.

I know.

You're comforting me.

Correct.

Subtitle translation by: Ja-won Lee

Of all the things I've loved, why have I never loved myself?

Thank you for giving me the chance to retire.

-I really am unemployed now. -I heard you left the hotel.

Move into my apartment.

If I wasn't born rich, I could have been more rowdy.

How can a bracelet cost 10 million won?

-Sell me the new painting at the cafe. -I'm not selling it.

Is that how you're going to be?

Ms. Oh.

I'll stay with you if you ask me to.

-Did you two go out or something? -No.

I thought we were in a love triangle.

Damn it, she did it again.

Write that you'll get off work at 9 a.m. tomorrow.

Yes.

Seon-gyeom is asleep behind that door.

You must be excited to see me struggle.

I'm excited to be running with you.

You're here because you want to stay at my place, right?

-Can I? -Let's go to my place.
