Me.

My feelings for you.

Spring of 2019.

Ms. Lim and I started working on the scripts this year.

And we had definitely become different.

And I wanted to check something.

Is the rush of adrenaline I'm experiencing now

caused by the embarrassment

of us realizing that our relationship has changed?

Or is it caused by the butterflies I'm having

for my second love that began as work?

I must check.

- Check. - Check.

What?

I knew it.

How could you

- step back at this moment? - I was getting out of the way.

- Did I threaten you? - You confessed.

Is that a reason to step back?

- You got too close. - Do you think I'll hurt you?

I'm sure you're a better fighter.

You were going to kiss me. You weren't "checking" anything.

That was in the Reply series.

You even look like that character named Jung-bong.

Don't badmouth my looks.

Jung-bong isn't ugly.

Besides, who told you I was going to kiss you?

Then, what were you going to do?

I got close to you

because I wanted to talk to you up close in case you didn't hear me.

Why are you yelling at me?

I was just making my point clear.

How could you step back then?

Perhaps you looked threatening.

I confessed my feelings to you.

Your confession could be threatening.

How...

You could have just said no.

It's because I couldn't say no.

Because you couldn't say no, you felt threatened?

That doesn't make sense.

It's because

I can't completely deny my feelings for you.

If you can't deny your feelings for me,

it means that you do have feelings for me.

- Right. - How is that a threat?

Right.

How?

Because we're working together now.

Go on.

It's our personal feelings.

A man and a woman are working together while having feelings for each other.

How could they get the job done properly?

It's not a matter of what's right or wrong.

Are we having an affair?

Wait. Are you married?

Why didn't I ask you that sooner?

Goodness, why did I just assume that you were unmarried?

No, listen.

I am single.

Do you not think about the possibility that our personal feelings

for each other could ruin our work?

- I thought you were a professional. - A professional?

That's great, you know. But...

we already like each other.

I didn't tell you I like you. I just said I couldn't deny my feelings.

I think they mean the same thing.

Is it possible

for you to stop liking someone because you work together?

Is it possible?

We have to share our feelings first

then talk about how we should handle this, lady.

"Lady"?

You're turning this into an emotional argument.

It's because your thinking is paradoxical.

- That's the reality-- - Exactly. That is the reality.

I'm saying that we cannot turn a blind eye to this anymore.

Fine. Okay.

Let's sit somewhere and talk about this.

Okay. Go.

Is this Ultimate Debate Battle?

We were hiding our feelings pretty well

and getting along pretty well so far.

You were fine with it up until now, too.

Why would you show your feelings at a moment like this?

I wasn't fine with it up until now.

I guess you've never lost someone you like without doing anything.

but you need to know how nerve-wracking it is.

Especially on a day like today,

I feel really threatened.

Why today? What about today?

Was it because of Hwan-dong?

Were you jealous?

Let's not digress.

We're not digressing.

Just like in dramas,

the girl gets mixed up with her ex-boyfriend.

Were you worried that I might follow that cliché?

Don't you know how scary a cliché can be?

Why do you think romantic comedies always have those clichés?

It's because that happens often in real life.

So you were jealous.

Let's just say that I was concerned.

If you kept on doing what you have been doing so far,

things would have worked out on its own.

"On its own"?

When a man likes a woman, he becomes a seven-year-old boy.

A seven-year-old boy can't lay back and let it run its course.

I see. Poor baby.

Why would you say that now?

Okay. Good boy.

What was that?

So you ended up having a long discussion after he confessed his feelings to you?

It went over 100 minutes. It was a meaningful time.

Your relationship is classy, indeed.

You two should make an educational program, not a drama.

And you two didn't talk the next day? When you work together?

I write the scripts by myself.

So what's the conclusion of your meaningful discussion?

- On hold. - On hold?

I didn't know something like that could be postponed.

The conversation got long, and we got hungry.

so we got pork back-bone stew.

I was going to continue the conversation, but he's very interested in health.

We suddenly talked about the benefits of dried radish greens in the stew.

Apparently, they are good for arteriosclerosis.

Anyway, during the meal, we sobered up and talked about getting soju.

Gosh, whatever.

- Was that trying to be cute? - I was annoyed.

- Then, why did you smile? - You're crazy. I didn't smile.

That was cute, Jin-joo. But what do you like about Mr. Son?

It's fun when I'm with him.

Even when he's being annoying, it doesn't upset me.

He can be lame, but he's cute.

He plays the guitar well and sings well, too.

He's a good cook, too.

Ta-da. Our beautiful outcome.

He has a green thumb, too.

He doesn't wear a cologne, but he smells nice.

Our conversations are always fun to the point that it annoys me.

Unexpectedly, he can be considerate. And he's productive as expected.

You should write lying on your stomach.

He brushes his teeth after having a meal.

When he uses the toilet, he washes his hands.

He always asks me if I want dumplings when we have naengmyeon.

And he finishes the broth in naengmyeon.

If I can't finish my food, he finishes it for me.

I get worried when I don't see him.

He has this strange charm that makes me

worry about him if he had his meal or if he's drinking. Damn it.

Why are there so many reasons? I feel like I'm losing.

You can't sleep, can you? That's what everyone goes through.

You'd text him asking if he's asleep, and he'd write that he's still awake.

And you'd text him again asking why he's awake.

When they both ask why they aren't sleeping,

they would think about their reply and write, "Jinx."

That's only natural. Don't let it scare you.

I told her how I feel because I was anxious.

We should be going crazy for each other right now.

But we're trying to keep things cool on purpose.

Gosh, I'm in a tight spot right now.

I don't think it's unfair because I knew Da-mi liked you when we started.

But why is she always glued to her phone when she's with me?

Trying not to let this affect us for the sake of our project

will affect us.

I think Da-mi has about 50 thousand group chatrooms.

But still. Her ex-boyfriend was offering to walk her home in front of me.

How could I not do anything when he said that?

And he's my junior. What a life I have.

She's always on the phone.

But it takes half a day for her to check my text message.

I know I told you. But he was my assistant director, you know.

And she knows so many guys.

Is this how she treats them too?

I must prove to her that our personal feelings will not affect our work

so that we don't have to be on hold for too long.

I bet if you text her, she'll check the message right away.

Hey, send a text message to Da-mi. Okay?

- What? - What?

- What? Weren't you listening to me? - Weren't you listening to me?

Listen to my story first. You can go next, then.

I think I started my story first.

But when did you get here?

That's a really hard question to answer.

This is a decent turnout.

- Hey, you're here. - I'm sorry I'm late.

You're late.

What about Ha-yun?

You two didn't come together?

You guys broke up? You did, didn't you?

She didn't show up because of that? Then, why are you here?

She has another appointment. Eat up and keep your mouth shut.

I can't eat with my mouth shut, can I?

Anyway...

I feel thrilled when I break up.

It's not the end, but a new beginning.

I'd think, "What kind of woman will I date next?"

When I think about that, it excites me. What about you?

That only applies to you, jerk. Just you.

Did I say something wrong?

You're right. Yes. I should be excited.

See? He likes my idea. You know nothing.

You should just leave. Go, jerk.

I just got here.

You're the one making this worse.

Jae-hun, I have interesting news to tell you.

It's a big secret, but I'll tell you.

I'll tell you tomorrow. Giggles!

Thank you.

What? Why?

For telling me the secret and listening to my secret.

I guess it happens naturally because you're a good person.

Someone said I was a bastard.

Ha-yun said that?

Well, you're a nice bastard.

Oh, my. My apologies.

LOL

I was feeling down. Thank you. I laughed on the street.

I see. You had drinks.

Yes. I'm on my way home now.

Don't be depressed.

You can text me if you're depressed at home.

I'll tell you the secret I was going to tell you tomorrow.

I'll probably text you.

I'll wait.

I should get home fast.

Are you glad to see me?

You're drunk.

I'm not drunk. I'm completely fine.

Do you not want me here? Should I leave?

Wouldn't that be better for us?

No. You always get your way.

Are you seeing someone?

The one I saw the other day? From your work?

You're not answering me. I'm right, aren't I?

She has a kid. Is that okay?

You're drunk. Go home.

I'm not drunk. I'm going to spend the night here.

- No. - Whatever. I'm sleepy.

There's a matter I must ask for your opinions.

I am not pressuring you to do anything, so tell me your honest opinion.

It seemed Jin-joo was having a hard time finding an assistant for her drama.

She suggested getting help

from one of you.

Wait. No. She didn't suggest it. She asked for a favor.

Of course, I know that you do not want to leave.

I'm sure you want to learn from me

and put your name on the end credits of a drama with high TV ratings.

And more importantly, your experience as my assistant

will be valuable.

I don't plan to force you if you don't want to.

I relayed the message to you, so my job is done here.

The decision is up to you.

- I don't want to go. - I know that.

However, I cannot break my loyalty to the colleague I used to work with.

And I cannot let your heartwarming, considerate thought go to waste.

So I believe someone must make a sacrifice.

As I am the oldest here, I will go.

You don't have to force yourself.

Mi-yeong is indispensable to your project.

She has the most work experience among us.

And her writing style is the most similar to yours.

As the drama is scheduled to air soon, leaving now

will cause a lot of trouble for the drama.

I will sacrifice myself.

With that logic, I should join Jin-joo as I'm the youngest.

Hey, you don't have much experience anyway.

Besides, you won't be much help even if you go.

Yes. I'm the most suitable candidate. I'll go.

I told you. You don't have to go.

Forget it. Let's not cause trouble with this.

Hey. Why won't you listen to me? I'm older than you guys.

You're just a few months older than me.

I don't want to hear you guys fight.

- I'll go. - You be quiet.

You're the youngest. Know when to butt out.

No, I know. So I'm trying to butt out as I shouldn't have been here.

Are you saying you shouldn't have worked here to begin with?

How could you say that in front of Ms. Jung?

You're pretending to be rude in front of her on purpose, aren't you?

Ms. Jung. I'm the rudest. I'll go.

Hey, I told you that you don't have to go.

No, I'll go!

- No way. Let's rock-paper-scissors for it. - Fine.

- Let's do that. We'll only play once. - Okay.

Rock-paper-scissors.

Jin-joo!

I won.

- I'm glad you came. - I'm so happy.

- When will we eat? - What do you want?

What do you want to eat?

- Eat. Eat everything here. - Goodness. Is that all for me?

- Are you busy? - I have a casting meeting.

If you're also busy, just go.

No, I'm not busy.

I see. He's suddenly not busy now.

No, I wasn't busy to begin with.

Is that so? I don't believe you. But okay.

Hey.

It's been over two years since you broke up.

In that case, you shouldn't have any lingering feelings for your ex.

- Isn't that how it should be? - It's not what you think.

I was talking to Dong-gi.

It's about me.

I started dating after two years.

What is it? Is there something going on?

Why does it look like something is going on with you?

I'll get going.

This place has bad Feng Shui.

This is a secret, but I'll tell you.

Why would you do that if it's a secret?

Secrets are meant to get out.

Aren't they meant to be hidden?

Then, let's just say that it's high-quality intelligence.

What are you talking about?

Just listen.

Yesterday, I talked to Dong-gi to extract everything he knew.

I'm the expert in extracting information from people.

I got an offer to take the lead role.

Read it and tell me what you think.

Hey, I read the script.

Let's have a meeting. I'll go to the office.

Your company's? Or mine?

Yours.

Okay.

Min-jun wants me to come.

What? To his house?

What?

To the office. Maybe, he needs to tell me something.

Okay. Then, today...

Can you give me phone numbers of people I could interview?

A director you worked with for a long time would be great.

I worked with Director Hey the most.

- But you don't want to, right? - No, not at all.

I cursed him out. He probably wouldn't want to.

I'll give him a call.

Could you do that for me?

It's a secret. Pretend that you have no idea.

Of course. We're just working here. Let's pretend that we don't know.

Quiet.

Hi, Mr. Son.

Hi. Did you just get here?

- Yes. - I see.

Why are you standing here?

I wanted to go up with you guys. I had a feeling you'd be here soon.

What? Why?

What?

What do you mean?

Let's go.

Why don't you take the lead?

Okay.

I think the director is the one making it obvious.

JEONG SO-YEONG, LEE SO-MIN

Well, the casting director is supposed to come here.

He's usually punctual.

- Okay. We'll start when he gets here. - Okay.

The casting director used to be an actor, so he's good at this job.

Right. He used to be an idol singer, too.

An idol singer in the 1990s. Mr. Chu.

Do you know the idol group called Goguryeo from the 1990s?

I see. The historical time period when Yeon Gaesomun ruled?

Yes, that's right.

The name of the idol group was Goguryeo.

He was Yeon Gaesomun in the group.

If you think about it, it's kind of funny.

Right. He looks like Hugh Grant. Han-ju, he resembles Hugh Grant.

I see. Hugh Grant?

Yes.

He's here.

- Hello. - Hi.

Hello.

- Hi. There was a traffic jam. - You're late.

In what ways does he resemble Hugh Grant?

"Phew" Grant, perhaps.

He does, right?

- You were in Goguryeo. - Yes

All right. Let's get started.

THINGS WILL BE FINE ONCE YOU TURN THIRTY

I like the script. The character is interesting.

I'm not sure if it'll be a mega-hit drama, but it will garner attention.

More than anything, it makes the actors stand out.

I hope you'll take this role no matter what.

Right? You're a good judge when it comes to scripts.

Since I'm a good judge of it, please listen to me this time.

- What? - Be honest.

Was she really offered the lead role?

So-min will take it if she wants the role.

No, listen. Be honest. We don't have much time.

So-min, if you want to take the lead role,

I will talk to the director.

And if the director is okay with that, she'll do it.

You're getting further and further from where you started off.

Well, it's not my fault. That's how things are done in this industry.

What do you mean?

For Lee So-min, you don't need to make your decision now.

Mr. Son's opinions matter the most,

but we have a lot of other options.

I watched her previous works. Her acting wasn't half bad.

I don't think we need to decide whether to cast her or not right now.

I agree.

I feel bad since we went to the same college.

But if she takes the lead role,

it will be hard to cast popular actors or actresses for the supporting roles.

We have to think about this more realistically.

Well, I think she fits the role

for Sin-ae instead of Ju-yeon.

Wait, that crossed my mind, too. It totally suits her image.

Well, she's a bit too well-known for the role of the main character's friend.

She'll probably turn it down.

Don't turn it down.

They won't give you the lead role. I'm 100 percent sure.

Hey, I already buttered him up.

That's why it's not working out. Don't do that. It makes you look cheap.

Do you think saying that will make me feel bad about myself?

Absolutely not. I survived 20 years with that strategy.

Do you think that's easy to do in this industry?

So-min, just listen to me this once.

I looked into this. Cheon I-seul was already offered the role.

And she really likes the script.

It's about time she films a romantic comedy.

She'll probably say yes.

Who do you think the director will pick?

He'll choose Cheon I-seul.

Hey, you're hurting her self-esteem. Why are you so blunt?

You're brutally accurate.

You're upsetting me more.

- Keep going. - The friend's character is better.

- And that character has a hook, too. - Yes, people can see that.

But the management and the actresses have different perspectives.

And becoming someone else's supporting role is a matter of pride, too.

Right. She used to take the lead role. It's hard to agree to a supporting role.

That's a shame.

I thought this role was more charming, and she'd fit the role better

since you would be directing the drama.

Son Beom-su did a lot of traditional dramas before.

But he won't miss out on an interesting character. He's good at handling them.

He'll do a fantastic job with your character.

More importantly, you'll be good at it.

This is just you. You don't even need to act for this role.

What? This role is kind of lame.

You're lame. Totally lame.

- Really? Trust me. - Yes.

Yes, she is kind of lame.

- Seriously? - Why can't I say it?

You know what? If we tell the director that we want this role,

the director won't say no to that,

but if this doesn't pan out well, you'll never get the lead roles.

Once your status goes down, you can never recover in this industry.

So-min, I'm sorry to say this,

but it already went down a bit.

I think this drama will be a good chance for you to improve your career.

Don't just go after the lead role.

Go after a good drama and a good character.

Trust me on this and let's do this.

You fool. Working in this industry isn't that easy.

- You punk. - Why do you keep blaming the industry?

I should just bury you in the industry.

Just do what I say.

Hey, I'm the President of the agency.

Why are you working your ass off here? Go to your agency and work hard there.

Let's go.

Just do what Min-jun said.

But give them a few days before you call. It is still humiliating.

You two can keep that up. I'll never feel lonely.

I've been battling against loneliness for 20 years.

- Seon-hui, get me a cold can of Sprite. - I'm busy.

Let's put Lee So-min on the back burner for now.

Let's wait until Cheon I-seul gets back to us.

And I'll contact the rest of the cast this week and let you know.

Let me know as soon as you can.

Okay. I'll do that. I'll get going now.

- Good work. - Good work.

- Thank you for your help. - Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

Should we take a break and have a meeting for the scripts?

- Okay. - Okay. Let's hydrate ourselves, too.

Shall we?

I'll go and buy some snacks.

I'll go with you. I'm hungry.

Wait. I'm not hungry.

We don't have a lot of time. Let's start the script meeting right away.

Okay.

All right. Let's continue with the script meeting.

Where should we start?

Can we put love on hold?

It sounds like a title of a movie I heard from somewhere,

but it wasn't a big problem.

It's the contrary. It feels as if our work

and our feelings for each other are being respected without sabotaging either one.

It's not a bad feeling.

When our eyes meet as our hearts warm,

we do hurriedly look away.

And when I observe ourselves

being more objective and careful during the meeting,

we can feel that we are conscious of each other's presence.

But again, under the tacit agreement between us,

we overlook at the fact that we were conscious of each other.

We can put love on hold.

You have a lot of things.

You're handsome and smart. You have a promising future.

More than anything, you're young.

You're at an age when simple physical contact with a woman

whom you had no interest in can bring out the inner desire and convince yourself

that it's appropriate to develop feelings for the woman.

When you are in an organization, that delusion could bring out an accident.

And it is part of our duty to prevent that from happening.

Don't...

Don't just accept it

when Da-mi touches you.

You must dodge it.

Are you not listening to me?

I'm...

such a loser.

What are you talking about?

What is it? Why do you look sad? What's going on?

Mr. Seo.

You can straighten out all the relationship problems

you're having now.

However, you cannot fix that person.

You must fix yourself. Only then is it possible.

If you're too late, you'll only regret it.

She will never come back.

Realizing this early on is the key point.

Yes. I must handle this problem.

"Realizing this early on is the key point."

I ought to teach her a lesson.

When we hang out, you spend more time

on your phone than talking to me.

Are you worried I'll get rounded shoulders? Thanks.

That's not my point. Among friends you talk to, there are too many guys.

You talk about other guys in front of me. I don't need to hear about them.

And you and Hwan-dong.

I get that you guys are close. But still, he's older than you.

How could you touch him like it's no big deal?

I'm still at an age to like older guys.

If I told you I'm at an age to like younger girls,

does that make you feel good?

It doesn't upset me.

Will you fool around with those girls?

- Fool around how? - Will you be intimate?

Be intimate with them? No.

Exactly.

But you're not at an age to like younger girls now.

Do you want to be an old fart?

- Does that make me an old fart? - Yes, I hate it.

- I won't do that, then. - Okay.

You're not at an age to like older guys. It makes you an old fart. I hate it.

Why are you dating a woman you hate? We should break up.

- No. - You said you hate it.

No, I didn't mean it.

- Apologize to me. - I'm sorry.

- Okay. I'll accept it. - Thank you.

You should go. I told you not to come down during your work hours.

Okay. You're right.

Thank you so much. I'll go now. Have a good day.

What a relief. That could have been awful.

I handled it.

I shouldn't try to understand her.

This isn't a matter of understanding her. Just accept her who she is.

That is the end. Don't even bring that up.

If I do that, nothing will happen.

Gosh, what a relief. I realized that early on.

Actually,

I liked ice-cream that has 31 flavors too.

She was the one who suggested it.

Hey, it's me.

How's the preparation coming along?

I'm writing my scripts the best I can. What's up?

I see. Nothing.

Do you have time tonight?

Yes, I do. But is there something wrong?

No, not really.

If you're up for it, I wanted

to have a meal with you.

Well, I also have something to tell you.

- Okay, then. - Okay. Thanks.

I'll text you the address for the restaurant later.

Yes. Okay.

What is it? What did he say?

He wants to have a meal.

Goodness. What is this now?

It's nothing. It's not what you think.

He and I are no more than colleagues now.

How is that possible?

Yes. Totally.

When you focus on your work, you don't think about anything else.

The things I thought were impossible when I was young are possible.

That's why I like myself now.

Okay. I wish I were like you, too.

This is why you are debuting

as a drama screenwriter at the age of 30.

You can become a police officer

at a young age of 26.

- Are you pressuring me? - Yes.

Don't do that.

You're not supposed to do that to a test-taker. It's hard already.

No.

Think about our parents' monetary and emotional investment on you.

You're getting a lot of help, but you don't want any pressure?

Please feel the pressure. I beg you.

It's not like you're paying for my studies.

That's why I'm saying this to you. Would Mom say this to you?

Damn it.

So are things with Jeong-hwan good?

I don't know. It's so annoying.

- What's wrong? - We keep walking.

He likes walking, so we keep walking.

It's like cross country hiking every day.

It's because he doesn't have money.

- You think so? - Yes.

Those poor test-takers eat their meals on their feet.

You do that, too.

For how long will I stay moneyless?

You'll always be moneyless.

What?

You don't have money because you're studying now.

Luckily, you passed the exam and became a civil servant.

And you get stable paychecks.

Then, you'll get married which means you'll need a house.

Is that yours? No, it's the bank's.

You won't have money again.

But you worked diligently for 20 years and paid back the mortgage.

But you'll have children. And they'll go to college.

Then, you'll have no money again.

You work hard to provide a good education to your kids.

Then, it's time to retire. So again, you don't have any money.

Goodness. I'll never have money, then.

But what I just told you is a success story.

Failure stories are more the norm. Want to hear some?

Forget it.

Let's enjoy our food.

This is cute. What do you think?

- It's cute. - Put it on.

It's nice that you're making money.

Can't I live with you instead of getting a job?

Do you think you can put up with me?

No.

I should study hard.

This is cute. I like it.

What's Jeong-hwan's shoe size?

It's 275mm. Why?

Forget it. You don't have to buy a pair for him.

Take it when I offer it.

You two should study hard and walk together.

That's saddening.

I hate being poor.

If it's too hard, take a break from him.

What?

You can put your relationship on hold.

Since you guys don't have money now.

Do you think that's possible?

Why wouldn't it be?

Goodness. You must think you'll live forever.

Don't be full of yourself. You're getting old.

We don't have a lot of time left.

We'll have 70 years at max.

I can't do this.

I'll get going.

I'll go and kiss him one more time.

What? Go where?

I'll go and kiss Jeong-hwan.

Just kissing, okay?

Stop at kissing.

Goodness, your legs are strong.

Gosh, Jin-joo. She didn't have to buy a pair for me.

Hey, we should still love each other.

What?

What's going on?

Let's go and walk around.

- Go where? - Let's just walk.

- Hold my hand. - Okay.

Gosh, this is nice.

I don't have to go home tonight.

- Do you have money for a motel? - No.

- Let's just walk. - Okay.

Gosh, look at the fine dust.

I'll buy the masks for us.

Thanks. I love you.

I love you, too.

What happened between you and her?

Nothing.

Nothing happened.

There was a time when we were financially struggling.

But we didn't have any problems.

We were happy.

Why am I like this?

It could be because she wasn't by your side

when you were having the hardest time.

And it could be because

you loved your mother so much, so you didn't go to her

when you wanted to rely on her at the thought it would burden her.

It doesn't matter what caused it.

Tears in your heart will become an illness.

And tears that are let go

will evaporate and will not exist in this world.

Right now, it was only natural for you to let go of your tears.

You let go of things you had to let go.

This is not a big deal.

Are you transferring the data?

Yes. After transferring the data,

I'll get a rough cut done.

Okay.

Should I get you something to eat?

No, it's okay.

Rest up. This will take a while.

Okay.

By the way, So-min called to tell us

that Director Hey agreed to do an interview.

So I called him.

He said he didn't have time. He told us to come later tonight.

Is that so?

I'll go tonight, then.

I already came up with a list of questions for him.

But it's Rhea's birthday today.

Yes, I know.

I'll do it. I can go there alone.

Thanks.

Is it done yet?

Did you sleep well?

No.

I don't feel good.

What is it? Are you sick?

Is it the flu?

I can't move.

Stay there a bit more. You'll be fine.

- Can you help me up? - I told you to stay there.

Help me get up.

Are you ordering me around?

- What's wrong? - Why are you so annoyed?

I'm not annoyed. Help me up--

Just stay there!

Why? Do you need to be somewhere?

Are you having too much fun? Do you not need me anymore?

What are you talking about?

Of course, I need you.

- You didn't miss me? - I missed you.

I don't buy it.

I miss you every single day.

Then, you should see me. Why do you say I'm not here?

- Because you're not here. - I'm right here.

- Where is that? - Don't you want to be with me?

- I do. - Then, you can die, too.

You told me to remember you in this world.

Fuck. Did you really believe that?

Hong-dae.

You can die, too. Don't you agree?

Die.

Die.

- Die. - Eun-jeong.

Eun-jeong.

Are you okay?

What?

Yes.

If you're not feeling well, you should go home and rest.

No. I'm fine.

What time is the interview?

- You still have some time. - Okay.

- Come on. Damn it. - Gosh.

Hey.

You, over there.

Apologize right now. Apologize before I kill you.

- Apologize before I kill you. - Sorry.

I knew it. You people never apologize. You know?

I'm going to kill you.

Hey, you. That's no way to properly apologize to someone.

Here's how you should apologize.

Hey, show her.

"Gosh, sir. I am so sorry."

- You need to mean it. - "Sorry."

You need to apologize like him. That's a proper apology.

You saw it, right? All right. Stand up straight.

Do it. Apologize.

- Let go of me. Move out of my way. - I knew it.

I knew you wouldn't listen to me.

That's the world we live in. This is why you'll get beaten up.

Okay?

Why are you blocking the road, you bastard?

- You little... - Who are you?

What? What?

You know, you assholes end up

getting beaten up for causing trouble. And you know

you'll pay for it in the end.

- You're asking for it. - You bastard.

You want to get beaten up too? You guys always have the same pattern.

Hey, get lost.

Hey, roll to the wall. Stay on the wall.

Suffer in pain against the wall. Don't block the road.

Suffer there against the wall. Got that?

Don't block the road.

I saved that woman.

I saved her.

What is this? You're making me uncomfortable.

Hey, let's stay calm.

Pretend we've been here before.

Don't look around.

What? I'm sorry. I have enough money. Don't worry.

I'll open the wine you reserved in advance.

Okay.

Would you like to do a tasting?

You can just pour it.

Right.

- We'll prepare the food right away. - Okay.

By the way, why did you want to meet at a fancy place like this?

Hey, you're dead meat.

You're at a police station.

Those guys over there punish bad guys like you.

Do you like beans? You better.

Because there are more beans than rice in prison meals, asshole.

Gosh, I could have easily finished him with a punch.

Sir, excuse me. Why did you put handcuffs on us?

Be quiet.

I was beaten up.

Look at that jerk. He's not hurt at all.

You should be glad.

Officer, we're the victims.

We checked the security footages and took the statement from the victim.

I didn't make a statement yet. I'm the victim.

Gosh. How dare he fling a woman to the ground

and assault her?

I didn't assault her!

You grabbed her by the collar and swung her.

And that jerk was taking photos of that.

- Oh, no. - What about this? What about my wound?

He totally beat me up.

Aren't you really glad?

Excuse me. They're going to leave like this? This makes no sense.

Be quiet.

Why are you so quiet? Say something. Are you a mute?

Why were you taking photos of me? You should have thought

- to stop me. - Be quiet.

You'd better shut up. You're at a police station.

You should serve and protect the people. How could you do this?

- This is not right! - I'm sorry.

Hey. Thank you.

Do you know me?

I'm filming a documentary with Lee So-min.

I was supposed to interview you today.

That foul-mouth lady?

I shouldn't hear that from you.

Damn it. I did a good deed for nothing.

Wait. What about the interview?

You can follow me.

I was eating an ice pop earlier.

I was reminded of you.

I thought to myself, "Jin-joo liked

ice-cream that has 31 flavors."

And I thought,

"Actually, I liked ice-cream with 31 flavors, too."

Why did we

eat ice cream we both didn't like?

We didn't eat it for the taste. We ate it to feel better.

And when I thought more about it,

I realized I had never

treated you to a meal at a fancy place like this.

I couldn't.

So I thought that wasn't fair.

I didn't call you today because I thought it was unfair.

Is there a reason

we should do things that we couldn't do when we were together?

Back then, we ate it to feel better.

Since it won't make us feel better now,

let's have a meal like this

for the sake of the fancy atmosphere this once.

I wanted to

have dinner like this with you just once.

Where the chef puts only a bite on a big plate like this.

Where we have to wait for a long time for the next dish.

Where they serve the main dish only after filling us up with side dishes.

Where you think you're done with the meal, but they serve you a dessert.

Where you can't really tell if it's good,

but it's expensive.

I understand what you mean.

But Hwan-dong,

I'm sorry.

- What? - If that's the reason,

I don't think I can have this meal with you. I'm sorry.

We once loved each other,

but no one should regret for not being able

to buy a fancy meal.

Just like you, I wasn't able to buy a nice meal like this.

I hated you and cursed you.

Yes. That's how I felt up until recently.

Of course, there are things I also regret and am disappointed about.

But things are a bit different now.

My anticipation for the future

has exceeded my regrets about the past.

When we were together,

we did our best at the time.

Let's leave our past as past.

As it should be.

We can have

one last meal.

Please?

I'm sorry.

Now, there is

someone else I want to have this nice meal with.

And I think he feels the same way.

So if he finds out that I'm having this meal with you,

he might be disappointed.

I think by respecting the person I like,

I'm also respecting you.

Okay.

That's cool.

You're right.

Bye.

Okay.

Gosh, yes.

She's really nice.

Be happy.

What is this?

This is nice.

What are you doing?

I got off work.

I'm walking now.

I'm also walking. I'm in Yeouido.

Wait.

I'm in Yeouido, too.

I'm heading to Yeouido Park.

Should I head there, too?

Don't you get the feeling that you should?

Then, I'll walk toward the park.

Let's casually meet at the park

without saying each other's location.

If I have to, I will.

- I'll see you later. - No.

Don't hang up the phone.

- While we're on the phone? - Yes.

What's going on?

I want to chat with you.

Okay, let's do that. That's not that hard.

Mr. Son.

Yes.

What is love?

All of a sudden?

I don't think there's a universal definition for it.

But in my case,

right here...

My heart

is full of that person.

Is it similar to saying that your heart is about to explode?

Someone actually died because his heart exploded.

Then, die.

You mean with an exploded heart?

Yes. Heart explosion.

I'll try.

Then, what's dating?

It's sharing your affection,

but you only share it with that person, not with other people.

In order not to weaken the affection,

you will have rights to demand the significant other

to fulfill the duties that come with the relationship.

At a time like this,

giving me a simple answer might make you look cool.

The best thing in this world.

Let's not put it on hold.

Okay. Let's not.

The best thing in the world.

Let's do that.

Okay.

Let's do that.

But

making out's still on hold.

Let's make sure

that we don't kiss each other until our drama is over.

Right.

Okay.

That was a lie.

ON ITS OWN?

WHEN A MAN LIKES A WOMAN, HE BECOMES A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOY

A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOY CAN'T LAY BACK AND LET IT RUN ITS COURSE

MR. SEO, YOU CAN STRAIGHTEN OUT ALL THE RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS

YOU'RE HAVING NOW

HOWEVER, YOU CANNOT FIX THAT PERSON

YOU MUST FIX YOURSELF ONLY THEN IS IT POSSIBLE

IF YOU'RE TOO LATE, YOU'LL ONLY REGRET IT SHE WILL NEVER COME BACK

REALIZING THIS EARLY ON

IS THE KEY POINT

WE ONCE LOVED EACH OTHER

BUT NO ONE SHOULD REGRET FOR NOT BEING ABLE

TO BUY A FANCY MEAL

I HATED YOU AND CURSED YOU

YES THAT'S HOW I FELT UP UNTIL RECENTLY

OF COURSE, THERE ARE THINGS I ALSO REGRET AND AM DISAPPOINTED ABOUT

BUT THINGS ARE A BIT DIFFERENT NOW

MY ANTICIPATION FOR THE FUTURE

HAS EXCEEDED MY REGRETS ABOUT THE PAST

WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER WE DID OUR BEST AT THAT MOMENT

LET'S LEAVE OUR PAST AS PAST

AS IT SHOULD BE

Then I want to do something romantic

before and after work.

But something unexpected has happened.

But if I keep eating, I'll keep farting.

How? Like this.

Why are you there?

It doesn't even smell. I can't believe it. It starts running all of a sudden?

Bring him home. I feel bad for him. I should cook him a meal.

How do we look?

Like an assailant and a victim.

I shouldn't accept a supporting role right away.

What would they think of me?

Damn it. I'm lonely.

- Ms. Jung. - Mr. So.

Are you here alone?

You never seem to get old. You do look like a bunny.

No one has hopped like her ever before!

Is she an elk or a bunny?

Are you crazy?

Please tell us about So-min.

- She's honest. - Is that all?

He either swears or is curt. Is he doing this on purpose?

He drinks cassia seed tea.

Do you have some kind of a story?

Do you know why I drink cassia seed tea?

Something heartrending and tragic, perhaps?
