All locations, characters, organizations, and incidents

depicted in this drama are entirely fictitious.

Try it first. If it doesn't work,

you can give up then.

I'll become that person.

I'll be the one to help you

if you put your trust in me.

But for today,

let's get you back on your feet.

How's the pain? Is it bad?

You did well.

Today, you got on your feet. So what next?

Should we grab a bite to eat? I'm sort of hungry.

Let's go. Easy does it.

Aren't you coming? Isn't that what you meant?

You said you would.

Was it not today perhaps?

Maybe he isn't hungry.

Your salary was just wired.

Treat yourself to something tasty.

Unlike someone I know, Hui-jin never disappoints.

TRANSLATION CHOI BO-YUN

This is unexpected.

Hey, Bo-yun.

Hey, Mi-joo, I called to ask you something.

Do you still work as a private tutor?

I'm a translator, remember?

Why don't you do it? Is it because you're due soon?

It's my first child, you see.

Anyway, I'll look for someone else.

Sure thing. I wish you good health.

- Okay. - Bye.

LOAN REPAYMENT OF 668,417 WON WAS MADE

What the hell?

So it went poof?

What's with my account balance?

Hey, Bo-yun. I'm Oh Mi-joo the translator.

I'm willing to be a private tutor as well.

I forgot she had hung this up.

CONGRATULATIONS TO SHIN RYEON'S GRANDSON, KIM WOO-SHIK

She must have been...

really proud of you.

And yet I babbled on about taking on other jobs.

How pathetic.

Do you reckon that upset her?

She would've cheered you on.

Let's head inside.

Sure.

Your lips

Hello, ma'am.

Goodness. Woo-shik, is that you?

Hold on. Where's your grandma?

I came with a friend instead.

Wait. Isn't he the same friend

- from before? - Yes.

Goodness. Don't just stand there and take a seat.

Will two portions be enough?

- Sure. - Of course.

Ma'am, I'm sorry to ask,

but could we get a towel and some ice?

A wet towel would be fine too.

Woo-shik, it seems like you're still in pain,

so keep it on ice when you can.

- Here. Keep that on there. - Thanks.

How have you been handling your rehabilitation?

Back when I was on the team, the coach got me on a plan

and paid for a top facility.

And now you're on your own.

You're on board, right?

Rehabilitation is crucial to prevent tissue scars

and loss of muscle.

Loss of muscle will affect your ability to clean well.

No way. Not when I worked hard to build these deltoids.

I'm thinking long-term anyway, so don't get antsy.

Don't let upcoming competitions be your goal.

We'll use this opportunity to build from the ground up.

Making record time will be a future goal.

Then what about my cleaning job?

Get back to me whenever you have an update in your schedule.

I'll plan around that.

But Woo-shik,

rehabilitation is all about proper posture,

so only get to work when I'm present.

- Got it? - Sure.

Seon-gyeom, you would've made one strict coach.

- It's why I didn't come to you. - Just speak casually to me.

- You don't have to be so formal with me. - Sorry? That's out of the blue.

Now that I've quit track, I'm no longer your immediate superior.

But considering your age...

- I'd rather be formal. - You attacked me with my age.

You aren't so formal with others though.

- As in who? - Speak casually to me and...

- I'll be less strict. - Hey.

That was a lie.

- Hey. - Hey.

What are you up to?

I'm making my own canvas board. What about you?

- I'm coming back from the library. - I see.

- How about I buy you a drink? - Cocky much?

What will we be eating?

What's more of the issue?

The commissioned painting or the assignment?

Well, you see...

- It must be both. - Is it that obvious?

You resort to making canvas boards when something's troubling you.

You know me all too well.

I've known you for 20 years.

It's like I'm you and you're me.

Nicely put, Goh Ye-jun.

Just like your name.

- It's pretty. - I, for one, hate my name.

It means "a man designed by Jesus."

Are you kidding me? Dog Poop would be better.

Is Cow Dung not an option?

I still have my dignity to consider.

Dog Poop sounds better.

I don't want to call you that. Just be Ye-jun.

Here is your order.

Can you clear this for us?

- Thank you. - Sure.

How's the holiday transfer program coming along?

You need at least 100 more points on the TOEIC exam.

Many will be applying, you know.

I have my money back, so maybe I'll take some English classes.

Complete adequate hours of community service

and get ready to leave the country for two months.

- I'll find someone to take my shift. - Just pray that I get chosen for it.

Oh, sorry. You quit going to church.

Oh, wait. I did too. I was too busy being cheeky.

I still pray silently, for everyone around me.

Then add one more to that list.

Spend some time praying just for me.

It's like you don't know me at all.

I'm you and you're me, so how can I not?

You know nothing.

Ten minutes of jogging plus stretching.

That'll be 20 minutes.

That won't be too much.

He should try jumping some hurdles. Could he though?

I'll add in some core work.

It all should be within his limit,

so planks and side planks should do the trick.

Here's my cleaning job schedule.

Gosh, he used to be at my level.

So this is his current status.

He feels pain after running at top speed.

I should check his leg when he walks too.

Weight training...

and stretches should be kept light.

I am you, you are me

Seon-gyeom!

Seon-gyeom, I missed you.

- I'm home. - Gosh, you're wasted.

- You reek of alcohol. - Really?

I drank a lot, so of course, my breath stinks.

Wait, are you nagging me as if you're my wife?

Your big eyes are a dead giveaway.

Like this. This is how you're staring at me.

Seon-gyeom, I like you so much.

Where are you going? Don't go.

Hello?

Just a second.

Where are you going? Don't go!

- Don't go. - Just a second.

I really like you, you know.

- What are you up to? - I'm nagging someone.

Yeong-hwa? How so?

He drank despite being broke.

You must be home.

Is that why you went out?

How did you know?

Try looking around. A little more to the side.

Hold on. I'll be right down.

Why does he keep smiling like that? He'll be the death of me.

So what brings you by?

After dinner, I went for a walk

and this was part of my path.

- Walking helps with digestion— - I bet you missed me.

Don't flatter yourself.

I missed you though.

Then you should've called.

I thought you'd be busy. You are during the night.

You're right.

What were you up to before the nagging?

Were you thinking about me?

Somewhat. I was also busy working.

You got a new job? Is it something you can tell me?

I'll show you what I'm up to some other time.

I need your help anyway.

I'll be up all night trying to guess what it is.

I'll write in my journal before going to bed.

You're still at that? I thought you were joking.

Well, I'm not.

I got hooked with each line.

I bet you don't keep one.

I haven't since my elementary school days.

Even then, I only did it as homework.

There weren't any events worth writing about.

You can write about anything though.

What you like, what you hate, and what scares you.

Are you patronizing me?

I hate recalling my days

and I worry it'll be like a guilty confession.

I wasn't a good kid growing up.

You'll probably write about meeting me today.

Should I give you something to write about?

Not today, no.

Anyway, I'm sorry about before.

I told you not to flatter yourself.

Rather than being straightforward with you,

I keep on taking the sarcastic approach.

It's something I do that I'm not proud of.

I'm sorry.

This is why I don't keep a journal.

Do you want to hold hands?

I love this night walk.

It's nice to be able to see you without making an excuse.

Still, I love how missing you could also be an excuse.

I love it even more.

Why is your hand so cold?

Why is yours so warm?

What the hell?

He's volunteering to do the chores.

I'm getting rid of that when I get back.

Seon-gyeom, Bok-sun had puppies.

Cute, aren't they? Anyway, I need to care for them,

so can you take my place in this?

The kids need adult supervision.

Be there for them.

Why are there periods where spaces should be?

Got it. The puppies are adorable.

Will it be okay to take Kim Woo-shik to practice?

Of course. Have yet another good day.

Hello?

- Did you eat? - Yes.

Could you perhaps open the fridge then?

It's open.

Is there something that isn't food in there?

A finger-length metal object.

Is it black?

So that's where it was.

If you're free today, could you bring it to school?

I'll buy you a meal in return.

I just said I ate, you idiot.

I really won't let you do any more chores around the house.

Please. Just this once!

- How can I trust you? - Pretty please?

Ki Seon-gyeom!

What are you doing here? Are you still in college?

Do I know you?

I'm Seo Tae-woong.

Have you forgotten already? We met at a party

celebrating your dad's third win about five years ago.

His third win...

His third time in office?

Yes. You remember now?

No.

I'm Dan-ah's younger brother. She introduced us.

So what are you doing here?

I have an errand to run. So excuse me.

Why are you avoiding me?

- Why are you blocking me? - Because I hate you.

I remember being introduced to you,

but that's it.

Was I perhaps rude to you that day?

Is that why you're being rude to me today?

I guess you can say that your existence is disrespectful.

I've never been good at sports, but then you appeared in front of me.

I hated how you reminded me of my weakness.

It wasn't you though.

I would've hated just about any athlete.

I'm no longer an athlete now.

What? Then what are you?

I'm trying to figure that out,

so I'll let you know once I do.

Hey, don't you ignore me.

Where are you going?

Seo Tae-woong.

You came looking for me because of those hate comments?

Who's he?

You should be wearing makeup and acting like a girl.

Why are you at my school instead?

Oh, I know you. You're that passion-fruit-looking punk.

What did you say? I'm a what?

- "A punk"? - Yes, you punk.

Have you never seen an idol before, you jerk?

Why do you keep acting up? You can't even rap better than Lucien.

That's why you're still an underground rapper unlike him.

Hey, he's not a better rapper than me.

I could beat you to a pulp in a second.

- Hey, get off me. - Isn't that Tae-woong?

I said get off me.

Seon-gyeom, will you please do something?

Take back what you just said. He's not better than me.

Excuse me.

What are you doing to Tae-woong?

- Get off. - Can you please help me get out of here?

Get ready.

What?

Hey, Seon-gyeom. Where...

What about me?

It's all because of you!

Seon-gyeom!

Seon-gyeom!

Where did he go?

Gosh, you're so fast.

Did you run as fast as you could?

I almost couldn't keep up.

I didn't think I'd run like this again.

But I ran away once again.

What do you mean? You always run.

Are you okay?

Gosh, I came out during break time.

Can I have my flash drive?

Here.

But did my homework have anything to do with this situation?

The easiest solution was to run away.

Why did you run with him?

- It was for him. - I hate running away.

Well, you ran pretty well.

Hey, I'm glad I ran into you. Come over here.

Do you know how bothersome my life has become because of you?

Will you please unfollow my account?

Don't act like you can't hear me.

Hey.

Hey!

Hey!

It smells like the hospital.

Hey, Ji-yun.

I sent you the email. Print it out and hand it in for me.

Okay.

Okay, I will.

Thank you. Bye.

Where's Seon-gyeom?

How would I know? I just woke up.

I guess he went to pay.

You'd better pay him back.

What did you do to make Dan-ah visit you?

I came all the way here to ask you that.

Why did you ignore my DM?

I couldn't read it because of you.

I got DMs from tons of other people.

- What about your homework? - I sent it.

I had to miss my last class, and now my back even hurts.

You should've let me carry him.

How do you feel?

Don't ask. When can I leave?

- I think this is all done. - Well.

Seon-gyeom talks to you with honorifics, so why don't you do the same?

I talk like this to everyone. I'm not used to using honorifics.

Great excuse.

I was late to pick up Korean manners.

No one ever corrected me.

- Hey. - What?

- Let me have your autograph. - Why do you want my autograph?

It's not for me.

She's a second-generation Alphabet.

She's apparently the photographer of RAC.

What's RTC and Alphabet?

- I don't know. - "Run Across the Court."

What's her name?

It's for Im Ji-yun.

TO IM JI-YUN

- Do you know his group? - No.

You should work harder. Neither of us know you.

You have terrible stamina for an idol.

THANK YOU FOR THE NICE PHOTOS

I plan to work hard.

It makes me feel alive.

And when you're alive, you move.

One more for Cho Hye-won.

- Please. - My gosh.

She was the first-generation.

Is it H, A, E or H, Y, E?

- H, Y, E. - "Hye"?

- This looks nice. - Yes.

- It's very detailed. - I prefer the black one.

- Really? - Yes, it's what I think.

Spending a lot of money on the designer really paid off.

Will this cigarette be okay?

I forgot that this was here.

It might not pass. The same thing happened once

because of the actress' belly button.

I'll prepare one without a cigarette.

I think the teaser poster should be a bit more mellow.

It'd be nice if the Korean version is different from the foreign one.

Let's focus more on their relationship.

Tell this to the designer.

- Now, we need to find a translator, right? - Yes.

We prepared a list of translators who have a lot of experience.

This person is experienced, but he mainly translates action movies.

I'm not sure if he'll portray the emotions.

It gets really emotional toward the end.

This translator is famous

for only working on blockbuster films.

They'll ask for too much money.

It's rude to ask for a discount just because we're close.

Yes, it is.

Why is it so hard to find a translator who's just average?

If you're okay with it, I think you should give it a try.

I'm not okay with it.

I knew it. My initial pick was right.

It's hard to be average, but she even maintains that position.

This is our first day, so let me test your level.

- Okay. - Take your time.

- Let me know once you're done. - Okay.

Your LC score came out pretty nice.

So I'll come up with a study plan for your RC.

- Call me if you have any questions. - Okay.

- I'll be off now. - You did great.

- Thank you. - No problem.

- This is on the house. - Thank you.

Load up your sugar.

Are you tutoring him?

Yes, just for about two months.

Was I too loud?

No, not at all.

Yeong-hwa also teaches here. He says it's comfortable.

Oh, really? I'm relieved.

I'm going to leave a little early today.

I need to shop for daily necessities.

- Thank you. - No problem.

- I'll see you. - Bye.

- Mi-joo. - Hey.

- Did you go shopping? - Thank you.

Yes. It only takes a few minutes by cab,

but it takes so long by foot.

Where are you coming from?

I see you're alone.

I was with him a while ago, but he got caught.

What?

- By whom? - Gosh, you startled me.

I don't know.

He wanted someone to stay until his manager came. He threw a damn...

I mean, he threw a scene. It's a long story.

He might be free by now.

I don't get what you mean.

Maybe you're friends because you're similar.

You can go your way. Weren't you headed somewhere?

I was going to carry this to your place.

You're also too nice with words.

You're just like him.

This way.

Is this where you live? Why does it feel so familiar?

We're neighbors. You probably saw it passing by.

Oh, I remember. Seon-gyeom's car was parked here.

But why?

I don't know.

Do you want some coffee before you leave?

Come on inside.

- Mi-joo. - Yes?

Is Psycho your favorite Hitchcock film? Mine is Vertigo.

Oh, Vertigo? You know that movie?

Seon-gyeom didn't get that movie.

I guess I was right.

I think he's living with me because you live nearby.

I feel like he's using me.

He's not sly enough to use someone.

Sit down.

How do you guys get along?

- Does he have a room? - I live in a studio.

What? Then where does he sleep? Do you sleep together?

And what about the water pressure? It's important.

How's the heating? It's getting colder.

My mom asked me about them when I first moved out.

Are you his guardian?

He's old enough not to need a guardian.

But I keep worrying about him like he's a kid.

Ms. Seo also treats me like a kid.

Is that why you ruined the painting?

She keeps acting like we're close and asks me questions.

Don't get me wrong. We're not close.

Drink your coffee.

I'm still very narrow-minded.

All I did was paint ever since I was young.

And that got worse once it was time to get into a university.

I also kept a distance from people back then.

Is it like a perspective drawing? I don't know much about art.

Yes, kind of.

If it's too far, it's hard to see. If it's too near, it blocks your sight.

I didn't like that, so I ruined it.

I guess I was too immature about it.

I'm pretty sure Ms. Seo wasn't too mature either.

I won't disagree with that.

I constantly feel uneasy.

Would it be better if I show her I can be mature when it comes to business?

The fact that you want to show her that is a little childish.

You're both at fault.

So it's better to step up and acknowledge what you did wrong.

Then do you think it'll be better if I find a middle ground

and keep a distance from her as I work on the painting?

I don't know what you painted, but she must have really liked it.

My gosh, did I just give you hope? My goodness.

Why would you say that?

I'm sorry. Darn my mouth.

- Hey, May. - What's your schedule tomorrow?

If you're busy, make time for me. If you're not, come take a walk.

I'll be seeing you at home later.

I guess you're not busy.

Come to my office for a walk after you eat lunch.

I'll be late tonight, so don't skip dinner.

I go for walks pretty often these days.

Are you still interested in doing a horror film?

No.

- Ms. Oh. - Yes?

What do you think is a good translation?

- What? - Let's hear your opinion.

One that doesn't stay in my memory.

I like it when it goes so smoothly that I just forget about it.

That's what I personally think...

What are you doing?

Do you remember the movie called Cold Comfort?

Yes, I wasn't able to watch it in the theaters.

There were no videos either.

They renewed the publication rights, and I'll be importing it.

Didn't you work on that film back when you used to translate?

This is why I urgently took the train back home.

My gosh, I'm so happy for you. You're amazing.

I had to read my translations again before the release,

and I wanted to hide myself. It was so outdated.

I also reflected on myself.

It portrayed the way I valued and thought of life back then,

and looking at it now, it really sucked.

That's a bit too harsh.

The world changes every minute.

- So I've been thinking. - Yes?

Why don't you translate it?

- You're not going to do it yourself? - I retired ages ago.

I don't know if I'll do better than you.

That's not a good enough excuse.

It's not an excuse.

I know what you're thinking, and I already thought of it all night.

I'm just worried we might fall apart if we work together.

I only worked on the Romanian movie because we didn't have to butt heads.

If this is going to make us fall apart, it would've happened ages ago.

You have a point.

Will you give me some time to think?

I'll give you enough time, so decide quickly.

Are you kidding?

TRAINING SCHEDULE

Hey, you.

- Did you wait a long time? - No.

Did you meet your housemate?

Yes. What did you just hide?

I was writing a diary since I was alone.

What are you going to write?

"I'm going to ask Mi-joo to apply for a marathon with me."

Who writes diaries in the future tense? Is it a prophecy?

Well, I guess it could work.

Why did you hide it if you were going to tell me anyway?

So I could write the rest after I hear your answer.

I see.

Don't marathons last for a long time?

It's a half marathon. Just a second. I have the document.

Here.

APPLICATION FORM

It's 21km!

You can also run the 5km or 10km course.

I see. Which one will you be running?

- The half marathon? - Yes. But this is your first time,

so you don't need to overdo it. It's important to finish the race.

If I practice, I might be able to run the half marathon.

We still have some time.

Do you really think so?

Then I'll run the 10km course. But why is there only one application?

I already applied as an instructor.

The kids from the track and field team will join.

I see.

I'll finish the race wearing the shoes you got for me.

I can't wait to see how those shoes will wear out.

Are you worried they might wear out?

You can tell a person's profession by looking at their shoe soles.

- I see. - Our emotions and energy

are hidden inside every footstep we take.

- I read it in a book. - You also read?

Gosh, I knew it.

Ta-da.

It's for the shoes you got me. I hate being indebted to people.

PRACTICE LOVING MYSELF

- Practice Loving Myself? - Yes.

- Are you making fun of me? - No, it's not that.

You said you never learned how to love yourself

because you were busy exercising.

You can learn from the books if you missed classes.

- Did you read it too? - Yes, of course.

Look. Right here.

"Do not try to force your feet into a pair of shoes that don't fit."

Isn't this conversation so touching?

- No one's ever given me a book. - Really?

Thank you.

- I hope you finish it. - I will.

I need to check a group.

Don't you think I'm pretty average?

GROUP C

My gosh. Which group are you in?

GROUP A

What? You said you wanted to run with me.

I said let's apply together.

Give me that book back. Give it back.

- No. - Give it back.

Oh, right. What do you do tomorrow?

- Let's go meet the track and field team. - No.

You can't take it back. Sit down.

- I can take it back. - No, you can't.

Drink your coffee.

Will you come?

What time?

- I forgot to bring alcohol. - Why would you bring alcohol?

Isn't Ms. Bang coming too?

No, she's getting postnatal care.

I mean, her dog.

Oh, I see. I thought you were talking about her.

- Then whom are we waiting for? - Woo-shik.

Can you help me shoot some videos after practice today?

I need some footage of Woo-shik.

By any chance, is that what you started doing?

Have you been well?

Yes, I have. What about you?

Of course. I've been...

No, someone else proposed to me.

You trash.

- What? - What?

Trash. There's trash here.

- How could you? - How could I what?

How could you bring her here after proposing to someone—

No, I meant someone proposed to me.

Keep it down. That's also a problem on its own.

- Why? - What are you guys talking about?

No, it's nothing. I'm sorry we kept you waiting.

We should get going.

- What's with him? - I don't know.

Hey.

DANN AGENCY

Hello, I'm here to meet Ms. Seo Dan-ah.

Hello. What's your name?

- Lee Yeong-hwa. - Mr. Lee Yeong-hwa.

Did you fix an appointment with her?

Isn't she in her office?

- Did you make an appointment? - No, but it won't take long.

I'm sorry, but you can't meet her if you didn't fix an appointment.

I'll wait until I see someone I know. I'll wait over there.

Ma'am.

"List of Participants"? What about this?

If you look, Seon-gyeom is joining as well.

Should we make it symbolic by assigning him as number one?

I get why he's joining, but what about Ms. Oh?

Schedule a meeting. This is interesting, so I need to check.

Okay, with Seon-gyeom?

No, Ms. Oh. It'll be more entertaining that way.

Right, the painting.

Find other artists, will you? They were all terrible.

Yes, ma'am.

Why is she smiling?

I knew you'd yield and come back.

- Is that why you smiled? - Why would I smile?

Did I smile?

You shouldn't barge in here unannounced.

You weren't picking up.

I also blocked your number.

And I remember telling you not to bother her.

Do I bother you?

Let's talk upstairs.

I could spare ten minutes.

I had made a mistake.

Don't tell me you're apologizing.

Why would I?

That's what you usually do when you make a mistake.

I forgot you were different.

Don't.

Don't have thoughts, sentiments, expectations, or disappointments about me.

I won't.

This was my mistake.

I should've printed one out.

WORK DELIVERY AGREEMENT

Is this for me?

It's for any of my vending machines.

So this is what business is all about.

I expected something from you again.

I thought I had given up all hope.

Do you like me?

I...

did.

Does that change anything?

It's already over for me.

Finish it in three weeks. Sign it.

"First week, confirm the drawing. Second week, finalize the sketch.

Third week, confirm coloring and finish."

Make it four weeks. The revision process is a must.

Perfect it so that no revision is needed. Make it three.

Okay.

- "Okay"? - Yes.

This is your drawing, not mine.

I should go now. Your ten minutes are up.

How nice. He's no longer a nuisance.

Hi.

- Mr. Ki! - Mr. Ki!

No way. It's Kim Woo-shik.

- You're the one who was drinking here. - Hello.

Can someone help me out?

- Sure. - Here.

Will you be training with us?

Could you take a photo with me before you leave?

- A photo? - Yes.

My goal is to beat your high school record.

- Will he be running with us? - He's only visiting today.

Why does it feel like you like him more than me?

I'm disappointed.

That's not true.

I need to take this.

That's heavy. Put them down.

Hello, Mr. Jeong.

Yes.

What? Why would she want to see me?

Oh, I see.

Okay, I'll see you then. Goodbye.

She's the host?

It's much colder today, so make sure you warm up well.

Okay.

By the way, why aren't you running today?

I'm currently undergoing rehabilitation because of my injury.

Woo-shik, drop the honorifics. It makes us feel like strangers.

Okay, I will.

You can do the same.

- Okay. - Okay.

Woo-shik, it seems like you get along with them well.

He's around their age.

Don't you think only those in the same age group should be friends?

Are you calling me old?

What was that?

- Are you here to drink today as well? - I drank that day because of Ms. Bang.

I don't usually drink.

- You shouldn't lie to kids. - Gosh.

Good luck today. You can do it.

You can do it.

Help me.

Can you pick those up?

Keep your knees down low.

Don't raise them.

Good.

Attention.

You bought me a book last time.

I still haven't read a single page.

If it's brand new, you can sell it at a second-hand bookstore

or put it up online.

I've never tried that before.

I've done it quite often.

Put it up, and someone who needs it will take it.

Why keep it if you don't need it?

You're right.

- Wow, you're so cool. - I'm not.

It's such a shame

that your role model retired.

- You said in the interview - Hold on.

- Slowly. - that he inspired you.

He was your goal.

I was wondering what kind of motivation you needed to start anew.

If you don't, then never mind.

It's the same.

Seon-gyeom will motivate me, and my grandma will help me stay strong.

It must be a huge responsibility

to become someone's goal.

Do you mean Seon-gyeom?

No, you.

You're probably their closest goal.

Woo-shik. Shall we give it a try?

Okay.

I can't believe he turned me into a cameraman.

Gosh.

This is okay, right?

It hurt last time because you strained yourself.

Well...

I can strain myself a bit now.

I think I can practice the diver now.

We'll do that once the pain is gone. You have time.

Do you want to see yourself?

Do you want to check?

- Yes. - Okay.

How was I?

Am I still limping a bit?

I don't know, but you looked great. It was a heartwarming moment.

Don't say that.

What do you mean?

Don't I look nice?

Let me see that too.

Gosh.

Sure.

Woo-shik has great body proportions.

That's also why he runs well.

It's very important.

I see.

Don't say that.

Why do you keep saying that?

I'm embarrassed.

It makes me happy to leave for work together.

You'll have many happy moments from now on.

Dan-ah.

Let Myeong-min host the charity event this year.

The factory incident has caused a commotion.

You should let him do it this time.

I was forced to accept him into the family, so why should I?

That's what family business is all about.

What a load of garbage.

I've micromanaged every little part of it.

And yet, you want me to hand it over to him?

Didn't you want me to think more about the company's image?

That's why I'm doing this.

I'll understand that you agreed.

I should've shoved the flowers up your nostrils.

You know I'm allergic. That's attempted murder.

Exactly.

Exactly?

Hello, Mr. Jeong.

Hello. Ms. Seo will be here soon. She's swimming right now.

- Swimming? - Oh, we have a swimming pool.

She sounds so rich.

What would you like? Coffee, water, or tea?

That's okay. And this is for you.

Don't give it to her. Have it yourself.

- This is for me? - Yes.

Thank you.

Your hand... Did you hurt yourself?

Does she hit you?

No, this is...

What is this? It's wearing a tuxedo.

It's adorable. My gosh.

Cute, right?

- What's its name? - Meonji.

Meonji? Did you come up with it?

- Yes. - Really?

- Meonji, you're so pretty! - Cute, right?

- You're so beautiful! - What's so cute? Me?

A cat.

- I'll prepare some tea. - Thank you.

Why do you swim? Are you a fish?

To maintain my stamina.

"Fish"? You could've been nice and said "mermaid" instead.

Do I look like I want to be nice?

You abused your power and told me to come here to apply.

If that's a sin, I must be being punished.

Someone did the same to me this morning.

Where? I want to be there next time.

Are you dating Seon-gyeom?

Did you give it back and make him feel shitty?

- Why do you ask? - Because this is how you act friendly.

You talk about things that only you two know about.

I see. Quite smart.

Very well-educated.

I could've gone to a prestigious school, but I opted for a mediocre one.

Why? You should've chosen the former.

To get a scholarship.

Let me register for the marathon. I want to participate.

Why? Because of Seon-gyeom?

You'll be in different groups, so you won't run together.

No, it's for myself.

It's for me.

I was always the one receiving the donation from the participants.

But now, I have a chance to run myself.

- I'm curious about something. - Don't be.

- I haven't asked yet. - All your questions are just wrong.

How was your upbringing?

Despite your rough childhood, you don't seem tough.

You refuse to kneel despite not having any backup.

- Why are you so obsessed about that? - I don't know.

Maybe it's because you refused to do so.

I was aware of what I did or didn't need.

If I never had it, I wasn't greedy.

If I still wanted it, I got something similar even if it was fake.

Things that I already had were always taken away from me.

Is that why you abuse your power? I'm here because of your power trip.

It's all relative.

In my world, I'm the weak one.

I never know when things will be taken away from me, so I put up walls.

So you choose your targets.

Is that what it means?

Why do you keep talking to me about this stuff?

- About what? - You're sharing your innermost feelings.

Stop already. It makes me feel like we're really close.

Why would I share such things with you?

Gosh. I pity you for not being aware of your actions.

Let's not grit our teeth so much.

It hurts our jaws.

You better let me run because I came here like you asked me to.

What are you doing?

Sit inside.

I came here without knowing why.

Let's watch a movie together.

May said I could use this room once everyone clocked out.

We also have chicken and beer here. They're happy to see you.

Here.

- Isn't it good? Isn't it? - Yes, it is.

Right?

- By the way, - Yes?

I did watch movies often.

- Where? - At home.

Oh, you mean those movies?

Do you not enjoy movies with me?

I'll try to endure it.

You never give in, do you?

I'll play it now.

How was it?

It was complex.

Which part?

I don't know why the main character smiled in the final scene.

I get it.

Because he smiled so randomly?

What about you?

It was complex.

Because it was a good movie.

I was offered to work on this movie.

I had to take a look at it, so I decided to invite you.

But there were subtitles.

You see,

those subtitles were made a decade ago.

Even mountains transform in that stretch of years,

so language is bound to change as well.

Old words disappear,

and new words are created all the time.

I think the movie said something similar.

Because it's about things that disappear.

There are others too.

Certain jobs will disappear once AI becomes more prominent.

And translating is one of them.

But then again, even subways are unmanned these days.

Machines will replace us.

Even if they replace us in everything,

wouldn't there be something that only we can do?

What could there be?

Athletes won't be replaced.

There is this league called the Diamond League.

And last year, a few events disappeared.

And one of them was the 200m race.

It disappeared?

Because no one was interested.

So

even if it can't be replaced,

it'll still disappear if no one takes interest.

Whether it be a sports event or people.

When I chose

not to run anymore,

I thought running was no longer a part of me.

I thought

I was only attached to things that I used to run for.

But I realized that I was attached

to things that I'd be running for in the future.

It's like you.

That's how I feel about that movie.

Don't disappear.

Be with me forever.

I won't.

I'll be with you forever.

How nice of you.

Keep going. You said I was nice.

What a good boy you are.

My turn.

How kind of you

to call me nice and beautiful.

Did I?

Did you not?

Will you do it?

The translation.

You said it reminded you of me.

Should I do it?

If I do, I'd do a fantastic job.

Yes?

What is this? Are you drunk?

You are, aren't you? After drinking just that?

You're unbelievable, Seon-gyeom.

Since I'm drunk,

should I make another mistake?

Oh, gosh.

- Hello? - Do you still

visit those kids at the alternative school?

From time to time.

I'm considering making a local team.

I will give them full support.

What?

You trained them, so I should help out.

I've already discussed it with Bae-jeong.

You took me there for that charity event

five years ago and that was it.

And now, a local team?

You've been nurturing them for all those years.

I won't allow some other district to take them.

It's rare for a sports team to disband.

I'll take care of it, so that's that.

I do. I see time in your paintings.

You see, I value time the most.

And during that valuable time,

I keep...

This is driving me crazy.

I've sent the information regarding the charity event

to Director Seo's secretary.

I'll go there this afternoon to explain everything.

This is so irritating. It's mine.

Lastly, I'll relay Lee Yeong-hwa's text.

"Mr. Jeong, please ask Ms. Seo for any feedback

regarding the painting."

It feels odd

that he's suddenly so obedient.

I got what I wanted.

He's no longer a nuisance.

- Mr. Jeong. - Yes?

Smile for me.

Okay. You may go.

What about the feedback?

What? Why does he keep doing me favors? I feel so grateful.

Why isn't he replying?

MR. JEONG

If she doesn't like it...

IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE IT

If I don't receive any feedback by today...

Ms. Seo would like to see you. Please come here by 5 p.m.

Is this a notice?

I'm here to see Ms. Seo. Five o'clock, Lee Yeong-hwa.

Yes, I heard.

I'm truly sorry about last time.

This way, please.

Unbelievable.

You wanted to see me? Now, you want to talk?

What's this?

Forget about the painting.

Try painting, kid.

This is beyond belief.

Seriously? Did you take classes to be this arrogant?

I must be naturally gifted.

Right now? Here? Out of the blue?

Forget the painting.

I need to watch you paint.

You can stop drawing.

No, pick it up yourself.

Smile for me.

I said, smile.

Didn't you tell me to fix that habit?

I did.

And you should've done so.

Then make me smile.

- What? - How can I smile on demand?

I have no reason to smile in front of you anymore.

I finally get why you made that a habit of yours.

Why are you smiling?

I have a habit of smiling and being friendly.

So this is the true you.

I don't think you know me well enough to say that.

Your painting showed

how rotten and impudent you were.

I should've believed your painting.

Forget it if you can't make me smile.

You obnoxious...

What are you doing?

It's not funny? You used to always smile in front of me.

I can choose to smile or not.

This is so annoying.

The desire to see your painting

and the desire to see you contradict each other.

Fine, I admit.

Even if Monet and Picasso were alive, I still would've chosen you

because I liked it.

I liked your painting, not you.

Is it really over for you?

You said it was.

- Says who? - I can choose to do as I please.

Don't end it.

Are you a kid?

Why are you being so childish?

Have I grown on you or something?

I guess so.

I guess you were

behind the painting after all.

Subtitle translation by: Ja-won Lee

Ki Seon-gyeom.

Did you just cringe at me?

Does he have to wear glasses just because of that?

- I don't like it. - Did I do something wrong?

Don't you dare walk away.

So what if I'm behind the painting? What if I refuse to move on?

I'm here because I saw something strange, and I couldn't just ignore it.

Why would he send someone to spy on me? Randomly at that.

What are you doing in front of my house?

Let me know if you see someone suspicious while you're with Seon-gyeom.

- How annoying. - Me?

Look at him smiling.

- I ought to... - Ki Seon-gyeom!

Let go of me!

- Stop involving us in your endeavors. - Seriously!

You're the one who ruined my son, aren't you?

She is my strength, not my weakness.

So, do whatever you want.
