(Myeongju Station)

Yeo Reum, let's just go.

At this rate, we might miss our train too.

Let's wait just a bit longer.

He said we could see him if we tiptoed when we called.

It's been 30 minutes. And he's still not here.

I bet he was just leaving when we called.

No. We can make a run for it.

Yeo Reum! Bom!

- Jae Hoon. - Hello.

Hey! Forget about your greeting. You'd better run over here!

Run faster! Do you have a death wish?

Dae Bum?

- What? - Jae Hoon.

Dae Bum said he couldn't make it.

Did you...

I see. You were waiting for Dae Bum, weren't you?

Gosh, no. I really didn't know he was coming.

You didn't?

- You'd better run. - Hi.

- Let's go. - Let's hurry.

(Myeongju Station)

It's here!

- Hurry. - The train is here!

- We're going to be late! - Hey!

Are you all right?

- Let's go. - Hurry up!

We almost missed the train because of you.

Sorry. I was boiling some eggs.

What? Eggs?

What are you? An old man?

By the way, did you call Dae Bum?

No. We met on the way to the train station.

I didn't know you were coming.

Oh, please. Did you really not know?

You didn't cancel his ticket either.

Do you have salt?

(Safety Insurance for all the Residents)

Gosh. This place is beautiful.

It's so green here.

We're already here?

Seriously, Jae Hoon.

You were dozing off the whole ride here.

I stayed up all night yesterday to prepare the ingredients.

Yeo Reum, how far is the house from here?

We have to go 35 more minutes from here.

Did you look it up before coming here?

That's great. Let's get going then.

- Okay. - Gosh, it's so far.

It is far. It's going to take forever.

Right.

Hold on.

What is it?

We should have one more suitcase.

- What? - You didn't get it?

A suitcase?

Hey, why are you asking him? It was yours.

The bus!

- Mister! - Hey.

- Stop the bus! Mister! - Oh, no.

- Gosh. - Mister!

How could he forget his own suitcase?

Is there a way I can get it faster?

This house is beautiful.

- Yes. Totally. - Okay.

I can get the suitcase tomorrow morning.

That's fine. We have one more suitcase here.

We can eat the stuff in there.

I only packed cooking utensils in there.

What? Then we won't have any food?

Hey, you should've told me if you had lost all of our food.

I packed some ramyeon just in case.

I packed some food too.

Apples.

No. We're not eating any of that.

Then what do you suggest we do? We can't starve here.

Wait.

How did you think about picking peaches?

You're so resourceful.

Wherever you end up, as long as you work,

you'll get food.

I'm suddenly feeling ashamed.

I was worried about the storm tonight.

I won't have to worry thanks to you.

Please pick the peaches that aren't ripe yet.

- Okay. - Okay.

Goodness. That young guy definitely knows what he's doing.

You know what? I'm in a good mood.

I'll give you a whole chicken for your labour!

- Really? - Really?

Being surrounded by young people is energizing me.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Yes. That sounds great. - That sounds so good.

- Dad. - Yes?

You should always dress like that.

Why? Do I look cool?

You look like a rich guy.

Hey, I don't have to dress up to look like a rich guy.

I just throw on some clothes because I'm busy.

Then why are you dressing up today?

You don't have to know.

Look at you. Where are you going?

I have an important appointment today.

All you do is lounge around here.

There's no way you actually have an appointment.

Aren't you hot, Joon?

Hey, are you going out to see a woman?

Gosh. Why are you asking me that?

Respect my privacy.

Privacy? Goodness. Don't be ridiculous.

Ridiculous, right?

Dad, do I look better with my hair parted like this?

Or is it better if I part my hair like this?

- Let me see. - Look. Like this?

Come closer.

Number 1. Number 2.

- I don't know, you brat. - Come on.

Just come back home early. Don't cause trouble outside.

Okay.

- I'm heading out. - Dad, have fun on your date.

Be quiet.

A date?

- Hey, is he going out on a date? - Yes.

- I can't. - Jae Hoon, you came out first.

Where's Dae Bum?

Gosh. Dae Bum is so good at this game!

He's so good.

Let's go back under the water.

Dae Bum, you already came out?

Gosh, Dae Bum. You're not as patient as I thought.

You came out first!

Oh, my legs.

- Wait. - Since you came out first,

we should splash you!

- Here's your penalty. - Splash him now.

Get that!

You too, Yeo Reum!

Hey, get this!

- Go under the water. - Stop it! Hey!

- Hold on. Right here. - Hey!

Hey, Jae Hoon!

- You brought a ukulele too? - Ta-Da.

When did you pack that?

You need good music when travelling.

Are you good at it?

- Yeo Reum. - I'm pretty good at it.

- Really? - Here's a peach.

- Sorry. I should have washed these. - It's fine.

- This is a soft one. - Hey.

It's soft? I love it.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Are you ready to enjoy some music?

It depends.

He's pretty good.

With Bom

- With Bom - What? What is this?

- What's going on? - No.

What? Stop it.

- You're liking it. - As I'm with you,

I'm happy

With Yeo Reum now.

- With Yeo Reum - With Yeo Reum

- With Yeo Reum - With Yeo Reum

With Dae Bum now.

- With Dae Bum - With Dae Bum

- Dae Bum is shy now. - With Dae Bum

- Are you feeling shy, Dae Bum? - He's really good.

- Get up, Yeo Reum. - Everyone, sing it.

- With all of us - What? You should get up too.

- With all of us - With

- We're happy to be together - We're happy to be together

- A round of applause, everyone. - Yes!

You're great!

Come on, guys. You left me out.

- Give me a peach too. - Here.

- Hey. Be careful. - Hey.

Gosh.

Look at you.

What? Do I look stylish?

What happened to your outfit?

Don't be like that. I know you like it.

That's pretty bad.

What are we going to eat? I'm hungry.

I already told Angok Garden...

to prepare a plump carp for us.

Hey, it's hot. I don't want carp. Let's just get something nearby.

Hey, but still.

I'm treating you to a meal to cheer you up.

So you should eat a fancy dish like braised carp.

Are you wearing cologne?

Gosh.

What is it? Do you like its scent?

- Wait here. I'll get my car key. - Hey.

I'll escort you on my motorcycle today.

Are we in high school? I'm not getting on that thing!

Hey, we can think about our high school days with this.

- Gosh. - Come on. Put this on.

Seriously. I hate it.

I'm embarrassed to get on your motorcycle now.

Hop on already.

Seriously. I can't believe this.

Hold on to me tight.

Or you'll fall.

- Okay? - Did you go on a blind date?

A blind date? No way.

I dressed up since today is a good day.

Hey, I hate the smell of your cologne. You crazy jerk.

Hold on tight.

Ji Young, you dressed up to the nines for me today.

I wear this all the time.

- Yes! What a view! - Be quiet!

What's wrong with you? Let's have a quiet ride.

Isn't it nice? Feel the cool, natural breeze.

Yes. This is nice.

I'm the only one you've got, right?

- Whatever. - "Whatever."

Come on!

Let's go and have delicious food!

I really don't get it.

What is the meaning of this?

Yeo Reum.

Don't you want to try it at least once?

No way. Never.

Dae Bum. How about you?

I'm good too.

Gosh. Come on. What is this?

I was happy that he was giving us a whole chicken.

Exactly. I didn't know it would be alive.

I'm so hungry that I'm about to lose it. Let's just catch that.

Who's going to do that?

- Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors. - That was sudden.

Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors.

- Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors. - Hey.

Hurry up.

Gosh.

This is crazy.

It's so good.

I thought about adding eggs.

But it kept staring at us.

Good job.

Is it because we cooked it in a cauldron? It tastes better.

Right.

Remember?

When we first met, I told you I was good at cooking ramyeon.

How is it for you, Dae Bum?

This is so good.

- I'm so full. - That was amazing.

Ramyeon was delicious and all.

Then what was the point of working in the orchard this afternoon?

Hey, think about why we had to work in the first place.

Hello?

Now?

I thought I was getting that tomorrow morning.

Okay.

What is it? Who was that?

The bus company. They'll drop off the suitcase at the bus stop now.

- Now? - Yes.

Why now? We just had our dinner.

- I know, right? - It's okay.

We can have a grand breakfast tomorrow then.

Do you want me to go with you?

No.

- Come with me. - Why?

Come on.

Please clean this up.

- We'll be back. - See you later.

Be safe.

- Hey. - Get the door.

Bom.

- Yes? - It's nice.

What's nice?

It's nice that just the two of us are here...

in the dark like this.

Stop it. Seriously.

When is this bus going to get here? Is it even on its way?

I've been really happy since meeting you.

Hey, be honest with me.

You got kicked out because you talk too much, right?

It's the opposite.

When I first went to the US, my English wasn't very good,

and a lot of kids made fun of me.

So I didn't talk at all.

When did you go to the US?

When I was in sixth grade.

Then did you come back to Korea because your English didn't improve?

No. My English improved little by little over time.

But kids there used to mock me for being an Asian...

when my pronunciation was slightly off.

I couldn't put up with that anymore, so I punched someone.

What? You?

Only then did my parents realize the gravity of the situation.

And they sent me here.

Your parents must have been so upset.

No.

They're probably happy that I'm gone.

They're embarrassed of me.

Both of my parents are really smart,

but I'm nothing like them.

They are both famous psychology professors.

But they don't understand me, their son.

There's the bus. Let's go.

Hello. I'm here to pick up the suitcase.

(Dodang-Ri)

Our food is here.

Gosh. This is a plump carp. Look at this.

This is how you do it.

No. Let me debone it for you.

Gosh. Is that the intestine?

That's meat. Eat it with rice.

It's good.

Hey, you can't get this in Seoul.

Eat as much as you want. Dig in.

Thanks.

Right. Your favourite. It's makgeolli.

You shouldn't drink.

Have you seen me drink before?

Well,

Ji Young.

I wanted to grab a meal with you today because...

I...

What's going on?

It's hard for men and women to stay friends.

But think about how long we've been friends.

So...

Ji Young.

- I... - Sung Min.

Can I ask you for a favour as your friend?

Sure.

Ask me anything. I'll do whatever you want.

The woman living in your building.

Can you kick her out?

Who? Yeo Reum?

Why are you suddenly asking such a thing?

Yeo Reum is a good person.

In what ways?

She quit her job in Seoul and is wasting her life here.

Do you find that attractive too?

No. Why would I...

She's being irresponsible.

And she's incompetent.

Who doesn't want to live like that?

A lot of people are doing their best...

to make the best out of their lives no matter how tough they are.

Am I wrong?

No. You're right.

I wouldn't have cared if she kept it to herself.

But why is she influencing people around her?

Did Yeo Reum say something to you?

Dae Bum...

is acting weird because of her.

Ji Young,

you cried the other night. Was that...

Dae Bum changed so much.

What do I do?

I think I like Dae Bum.

- Bom. - Yes?

Do you know when I started to like you?

Gosh. What is this now? Don't be gross.

When we were in the same class...

"In a region near the Middle East called the Fertile Crescent,"

"they always knew"...

- "it was domesticated"... - He's showing off.

"and brought in around 8,500 BCE."

"Listen to his over-the-top pronunciation."

"He's showing off." The kids mocked me about that.

"It's the same in Korea."

Quiet down.

I thought I couldn't fit in here either.

China and Southeast Asia seemed to...

I started to hate myself in the end.

Even my parents hated me. Who would like me?

I realized my skin colour wasn't the problem in the US. It was me.

Be quiet.

I was the problem.

"It spread west to Greece and to Germany over Prague"...

- I told you that. - No.

So I only listened to music during breaks.

Seriously, you guys. Last time...

I pretended to be indifferent and ran away.

So this is the kind of music you always listen to.

Not bad.

But...

you were the first person to talk to me.

You probably don't remember that.

When I'm with you, Dae Bum,

I don't have to talk a lot. So that makes me feel at ease.

It's the opposite for me.

When I'm with you,

I keep finding myself talking to you.

Ever since I was little,

having a conversation with people...

had been such a big burden for me.

Dae Bum.

I had been thinking non-stop...

since that day.

Had I not quit my job,

had I not come to Angok for the beach,

had I not gone into the library,

had I not rented the billiard hall...

Had I not done one of those things,

you wouldn't have gone through that.

Had I not done one of those things...

Yeo Reum.

The day you came to Angok for the first time.

And the next day,

you came to make a library card after renting the building.

And we spent the night together in the library.

Then you got drunk,

and I walked you home.

That's...

The day we had ice cream together at the library.

The day we went to interview the old lady.

And...

the day we went jogging together in the morning.

All of those days made me happy.

You see,

I'm truly happy...

that you came to Angok.

It's raining.

Hey, it's raining.

Let's just walk.

And get soaked?

Yes.

Okay.

This is refreshing and nice.

You know, I remember too.

What?

I remember too.

Of course, I remember that day.

Thank you. It was a great meal.

I called a taxi.

You can't ride your motorcycle in this rain. Cab home with me.

Come on. I'm not a rookie rider.

It's different when it's raining like this.

Don't bluff. Let's just go together.

The taxi is here.

Come on.

- You get in first. - Hey!

- Bye, Ji Young. - Hey!

- You can get going, sir. - Get in the car!

I've always liked...

getting wet in the rain since I was a little kid.

I used to purposely leave my umbrella at home.

I heard you took care of Bom's hospital bill.

And I heard everything about you moving to Seoul.

It's too good an opportunity to pass up.

Yeo Reum.

So you want me to move to Seoul? Is that it?

Yes.

As a kid, I also liked walking in the rain...

without an umbrella.

Try our fresh shrimp!

It's on sale, just for today.

Hello, sir. Would you like to try our shrimp?

Are you sure you don't want to try it?

It's extra delicious today.

- It does look pretty good. - It's in season now.

- Thank you. It's this way. - Jae Hoon is good.

- Shrimp? Here, sir. - Does he have to do this every day?

- Aren't you craving shrimp? - No.

- He's off on Mondays. - Are you sure?

- It's summer now. It'll get hot. - Go on in.

Thank you.

- Is it better than serving indoors? - Fresh shrimp!

- It's on sale, just for today. - Yes, it pays better.

Hello, sir. Would you like some shrimp?

- That's so cool. - How about some shrimp?

- Really? Then take a look around. - Oh, right.

Yes, thank you!

They were selling these cheap online. They made me think of you.

I've quit drawing.

Whatever. Just keep them.

Thank you. Here's your shrimp.

- Your shrimp is here! - Hey, Jae Hoon is so good at this.

- Shrimp? - Yes.

What if he ends up stealing this part-time gig from you?

Thank you, bye.

Hey, Heo Jae Hoon!

That's enough. Hand it over already.

- Hand it over! - No!

I said, hand it over! Hey.

Give it back. Hand it over.

- Gosh. - Hey!

- Hello? - Hey.

"I've been eating well here,"

"and I've been exercising every day. I'm doing much better now."

"I can finally see things clearly, and looking back now,"

"I'm so sorry for everything I've put you..."

"and the kids through, Mom."

"Your whole life has been nothing but a struggle, Mom."

"My heart breaks for you."

"When I get out of here, I'll be very good to you."

"Give my regards to Bom and Ha Neul too."

Jung Hoon.

Please just stay healthy.

I'm sorry...

for calling you here to do this for me.

Don't worry about it.

Don't tell Bom about this.

This letter will make her happy though.

Well...

Can I ask another favour of you?

What is it?

This is a little embarrassing.

It's okay. What is it?

Yeo Reum.

Is it difficult to learn to read and write?

I want...

to write him back to let him know that we're doing well.

Hey!

Gosh. Thank you.

I feel much better now.

You'll have heatstroke wearing that shrimp costume.

Can't you just quit the job? The pay isn't that much better.

What? What did you just say?

Well, I just don't want you to get heatstroke.

Hey, I don't know what your definition of a decent wage is,

but even that little difference means a lot to me.

I'm really sorry, Bom. That was thoughtless of me.

Are you scared?

What?

Are you scared that I'd get mad at you? You dummy.

What? Hey, you did scare me.

When you're mad at me, I feel like my whole world is falling apart.

Nothing's falling apart here.

Gosh, I could really use another trip.

Me too.

It was nice.

Hey, what was with that perverted smile?

Come on, you know.

Hey! What's with you? Have you lost your mind?

Bom, there's no going back now. You know?

What are you talking about? Goodness.

Wait up, Bom.

Don't follow me.

Open the folder.

- First, you have to label them. - Okay.

Then enter the information.

Right here.

Before you fill in the titles,

- you have to number these first. - Okay.

Do that first.

- And enter this here. - Got it.

You have the titles and all the info you need.

It's a tedious task.

Yeo Reum.

- Oh, hello. - Hello.

You know, this morning...

- Oh, right. - You missed the morning run.

Well...

My running shoes.

My running shoes ripped.

Oh.

So I don't think I can run for a while.

I see.

Oh, right.

I'm leaving for Seoul tomorrow.

I see.

That's great.

Yes.

You'll do a good job.

Hey, part-timer! Where is the storage room?

One moment, Yeo Reum.

It's outside.

- I have to go outside? - I'll show you quickly.

I'll be right back, Ji Young.

Yeo Reum.

Thank you.

No problem.

It feels nice, doesn't it?

Look at you, Gyeoul. Now that you're all clean,

you look like a dog from Seoul.

Look how adorable you are.

All right.

Is there anything else I should do?

Should I clean the bathroom?

Hey! Does this hurt?

Does it hurt?

- Please leave a message... - He never picks up when I need him.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

I don't know his exact size,

but it's for an eight-year-old boy.

I'd say he's a little chubby.

If he's 8, size 120 or 130 would fit.

But he'll grow out of it quickly,

so I suggest you get 140.

Okay. Do you have that size in stock right now?

One moment, please. I'll take a look.

In this world,

you have to coexist with people you like and dislike.

It's just the way it is, and there's nothing you can do about it.

However...

As for those you dislike, you can just forget about them.

But people you like...

can make you sad because you like them.

Come here.

The people who have made me really sad...

were always the ones whom I loved very much.

The depth of sadness...

is always directly proportional to how much I like the person.

Knowing that,

I am now afraid of liking someone.

I don't want...

to be sad anymore.

Come on. Don't be such a loser.

(Sunah Billiard Hall)

Dae Bum.

Dae Bum!

Yeo Reum.

There you are.

What are you doing here?

Well, I wanted to...

I wanted to...

wish you a safe trip to Seoul.

What?

You're going to Seoul.

Have a safe trip, and I'll see you when you get back.

Oh.

Yes, I'll see you when I get back.

You know...

I haven't cancelled our plan to watch a movie together.

Wait, Yeo Reum.

Here, it's for you.

What's this?

Shoes.

You said your running shoes got ripped.

But I didn't know your size, so...

Hold on, your shoes...

They look fine.

Oh, you're right.

They're not ripped anymore.

Then run twice a day while I'm gone.

Okay, I will.

I like...

summer.

Turn left and go all the way to the end.

Then you'll find a hidden desk in the corner.

That's my favourite spot.

It's so nice here. He's been keeping this all to himself?

- Hello, thank you for coming. - Hello.

Of course, I should be here.

Go on in, Dae Bum. I'll park and meet you inside.

- Come to the third floor. - Okay.

Professor Lee is upstairs. Let's go.

Don't be nervous. Just relax and tell them the truth.

It's here.

I'm sorry...

that you have to do this.

All right, then...

- Let me. I got it. - It's okay.

My goodness.

By the way, where's Bom?

I think she's getting changed.

- Gosh, let me. I got this. - No, I'll take care of this.

My goodness.

- Hey. - Bom.

Bye, see you.

All right, bye.

Bye. Oh, that's an ice cream cake. Share it with everyone.

Okay, thanks!

Hey, don't buy stuff like that for her.

It'll only make my life more difficult.

Why? She seemed to like it.

Why did you buy something so expensive?

Everyone likes a nice gift, you know?

Hey, do you even know what my daily wage is?

I'm sorry. Next time, I'll buy something cheap...

- Hey! - Watch out!

You almost hit us!

Is he insane?

- Hey. - Hey, be careful!

- What's he doing? - Is he one of the bullies?

What? No, they don't have a motorcycle.

Hey, watch out!

Hey, you! Who are you?

- He's insane. - Hey.

Hey! Hold on.

Bom! Run!

Hey, Dae Ho!

- Bom! - Hey!

When did you get out?

Just now.

Your grandma told me I'd find you here, so I came straight here.

Hey, you should've given me a heads-up.

You didn't tell me! You little...

Hold on. Did you get taller?

- Me? - My, you've grown taller.

Come on. I stopped growing taller in middle school.

Anyway, you look like you've lost some weight.

- Well, I've been working out! - Hey!

Hey! What are you doing? Get off her.

Gosh.

Hey, who is he?

- Oh, he's... - Bom's boyfriend. Can't you tell?

Hey, let go.

Bom, it looks like a lot has happened while I was gone.

Whatever. Who are you?

Hey, he's my best friend. We've been friends since we were little.

- Your best friend? - Yes.

Okay, whatever.

I'll deal with you later. Kim Bom.

Hey! Seriously.

I'll see you guys around.

- All right. Bye. - Bye.

And you.

What's your name?

Jae Hoon, Heo Jae Hoon.

All right. Nice to meet you.

- Get home safely. - Bye.

Bye!

Hey, what's with you?

Hey, he's just a friend.

Do you hug all your friends like that?

Come on. We're very close. He's my best friend.

Yes, you can come today.

Okay, I'll see you later.

- Did something happen? - Well...

I guess you feel conflicted.

I feel like you can read my mind.

Grandma, she'll be your granddaughter at this rate!

You're here to rest and recuperate.

Can't you think of it as a little happening during your vacation?

Please don't tell anyone. I'm really sorry. I apologize, Bom.

Grandma.

Where did she go? All the lights are off.
