Miyoung!

Seokcheol.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Let's go.

Get on. I'll go put the luggage in.

Get on. I'll go put the luggage in.

Oh, my goodness!

Seokcheol? Seokcheol!

Seokcheol!

Seokcheol!

Seokcheol! Seokcheol!

Seokcheol!

After all, I saw this coming.

After all, I saw this coming.

I knew I'd hesitate

and end up like this.

I wanted to become a poet.

I wanted to become a novelist.

The Nice Guy

"Your name is Rocky Flower.
Rocky Flower."

"Your name is Rocky Flower.
Rocky Flower."

MYOUNGSAN CITY

"It is the hardest flower name of all,
Rocky Flower."

That was such a beautiful poem.

All right, who'd like to go next?

"On the Way Home"

by Park Seokcheol.

"My slippers sink deep in the snow,

"My bare feet all frozen.

"I wonder where I am headed.

"With my socks in my hand
I wonder where I'm walking.

"With my socks in my hand
I wonder where I'm walking.

"I step on a sharp knife

"And wonder who threw it out.

"It was heated and hammered
Into a beautifully sharp knife.

"It slashes."

"It slashes."

"Stabs

"Turns

"Defleshes, and kills.

"Something warm touches my frozen feet.

"Is it my urine or your blood?"

"Is it my urine or your blood?"

"Blood drips from the knife.

"I wonder who threw it out.

"My slippers sink deep in the snow

"My slippers sink deep in the snow

"I return home."

That's all.

I guess it's very descriptive.

But it's a little scary.

Your poetic expressions
seem different from those of others.

How should I put it?
It's raw and menacing.

All right, let's stop here.

All right, let's stop here.

When it comes to looking at the world
from a poetic point of view,

there's no boundary
between beauty and ugliness.

In that sense,
your poem portrays honesty and sorrow.

In that sense,
your poem portrays honesty and sorrow.

And a kind of passion, as well.
It's very nice.

Let's give him a hand.

- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.

Seokcheol, good job today.

Seokcheol, good job today.

I really liked your poem.

- Thank you.
- Good-bye.

Do you know what he does for a living?

Do you know what he does for a living?

I'm not sure.

I heard he works
at a construction company.

You really don't know?

He's a gangster.

He's a gangster.

What's up?

Hey, Seokcheol. Are you at home?

Me? I came out for some work
in the morning. Why?

It's about your fight
in Woljeong-dong.

It's about your fight
in Woljeong-dong.

Are you guys still stuck on that?

Look, nothing happened that day,
no one got hurt.

So why can't you just let it go?

Because we're the police, you punk.

Because we're the police, you punk.

I'm on my way to your house.

What? Why are you coming to my house?

Hey--

- Listen, I need to go.
- Seokcheol--

- Listen, I need to go.
- Seokcheol--

- Yes, boss?
- Where are you?

I was out exercising.
I'm going to the office now.

I'm on my way to your house
with the Chairman right now.

- Meet us there, not at the office.
- What? My house--

- Meet us there, not at the office.
- What? My house--

I'm heading to your house
with Kang Taehoon and the Chairman.

I'll see you there.

Hello? Hello--

You gotta be kidding me.

You gotta be kidding me.

I can't believe I'm being summoned,
like I'm some misbehaving child.

Are we there yet?

Almost.

BAEKMUN 1-DONG
ADMINISTRATIVE WELFARE CENTER

Hello.

Hello.

This way, please.

It's so nice to meet you in person.

Is this meeting too early for you?

No, it's all right.

How about some coffee
before we get started?

Sure.

Good job, buddy.

It must've been hard
working through the long winter.

Why bother wiping a dead lightbulb?

Look at that. You're growing beautifully.

All my hard work has paid off.

All my hard work has paid off.

- What is it?
- Father.

What is this I hear
about the Chairman coming to our house?

Captain Jang of Myoungsan Police Station
kept asking me to help mediate,

so I asked him to come over.

Mediate what?

I heard you guys had another fight
with Taehoon and his men.

The police received
a lot of complaints about it.

I have to go. I'm getting another call.

Uh--

Uh--

Jeez.

I swear, this house is literally
like a den of thugs.

Sir, do you mind looking at this video
to understand the situation better?

Sir, do you mind looking at this video
to understand the situation better?

It happened near a club
in Woljeong-dong two days ago.

Fortunately, a civilian called it in,

and we took care of the situation
before it got out of hand.

and we took care of the situation
before it got out of hand.

As you already know,

cases related to gangsters
are a headache for the police too.

So, we've come here today
to ask you to help us reach a resolution.

So, we've come here today
to ask you to help us reach a resolution.

I see.

Did any civilians get hurt?

No, sir. If that were the case,
I would have arrested all these men.

No, sir. If that were the case,
I would have arrested all these men.

So anyone who went to
the same school as you is your senior?

So anyone who went to
the same school as you is your senior?

Stand up straight. Get your hands out.

Hey.

That's enough.

Look at you defending your junior.

Maybe you should be on the same side then.

Maybe you should be on the same side then.

Stop complicating things
by choosing different sides.

Whatever. Are they all inside talking?

Yeah. Come smoke with me.
I have something to tell you.

- Do you smoke?
- Yes.

- Don't smoke, you idiot.
- Let's go.

- Don't smoke, you idiot.
- Let's go.

If my mom catches you smoking
near the crocks, she'll kill you.

If my mom catches you smoking
near the crocks, she'll kill you.

Oh. Oh.

Why did you bring them all here?

The Captain told me to. I had no choice.

This brings back old memories.

You remember those days?

Your dream was to become a novelist,
but you became a thug.

I used to get into fights all the time,
but I'm a cop today.

I used to get into fights all the time,
but I'm a cop today.

Life's unpredictable, huh?

You want to switch jobs with me?

It wouldn't be a fair trade.

Anyway, have you spoken to them yet?

I'm going to.

Just do it already.

You made a decision. Don't hesitate.

You made a decision. Don't hesitate.

I'm counting on you.

You brats.
I've known you since you were kids.

You brats.
I've known you since you were kids.

I've watched you grow up.

Once a family starts fighting
for something,

they fight to the death.

That's how it's always been.

You should be on good terms
with each other, like brothers,

You should be on good terms
with each other, like brothers,

not cause trouble like this!

The two of you,

stand up.

Shake hands.

Go on.

Is it that hard for you guys to apologize?

Fine then.
I'll make you shake hands myself.

Now say something nice to each other.

Now say something nice to each other.

Now!

Sir,

Sir,

I'm sorry...

for the trouble I caused.

That's all right. I'm sorry too.

That's all right. I'm sorry too.

Really? But you're amazing.

Won't you reconsider?

I'm sorry.
I didn't expect to get so many applicants.

I'm sorry.
I didn't expect to get so many applicants.

I thought it would only be a few students.

I feel uncomfortable
teaching a lot of people at once.

I guess I understand.

I guess I understand.

Well...

could I get your autograph?

- Sorry?
- I subscribe to your channel.

"Little Singing Room."

Really?

Really?

- Here, please.
- I've never met a subscriber before.

- Oh, my.
- I'm a big fan.

Thank you.

KANG MIYOUNG

You're right, sir.

- Go on inside.
- Sir!

What took you so long?

I couldn't even wash my face.

The heater broke down again.

The heater broke down again.

I'm going to get
the whole thing fixed one day.

- Changsoo.
- How have you been, sir?

I've been well.

I hardly see you around anymore.

I hardly see you around anymore.

Hello, sir. I'm Taehoon.

Right, Taehoon.

Boys, come over here.

Hey, Daegi. Let them go.

- You come in with me.
- Yes, sir.

- You come in with me.
- Yes, sir.

Don't give him a hard time.

See you around.

And stop all this fighting.

And stop all this fighting.

- Good-bye, sir.
- Bye.

Sir, may I have
a cup of sweet coffee while I'm here?

Good-bye, sir. I'll see you at the office.

Must be tough for you, huh?

Damn it.

- Uncle!
- Hey, Hyeonggeun!

- Uncle!
- Hey, Hyeonggeun!

Where'd you go this morning?

I went to draw at Daegyun's.

Good job.

How diligent. You're my role model.
Go on inside.

Don't run.

Don't run.

- I'm home.
- Hi.

- Go wash your hands.
- Okay.

- Hey, help me with these.
- What is that?

They're so heavy.

It's kimchi.
One for your sister, and one for Kihong.

It's kimchi.
One for your sister, and one for Kihong.

Just send one big portion to Seokhee.
Why a separate one for him?

This won't make them come over
and announce their marriage.

Stop talking so much and just do as I say.

Yes, ma'am. Roger that.

Yes, ma'am. Roger that.

God, these are heavy!

How much do they weigh?

Listen, how's the search
for your older sister coming along?

Listen, how's the search
for your older sister coming along?

I've asked some of my acquaintances,
but it's gonna take a while.

That stupid girl.

I get that she went into hiding
for what she did,

I get that she went into hiding
for what she did,

but she should at least be worried
about her son.

Not even a phone call from her.

She must be too ashamed to call.

Look at this.

Look at this.

It's a reminder from the bank.

They even called two days ago.

A reminder?

368 million won?

What a mess
you've left us in, Seokkyung.

Thanks to her,
we might end up going broke.

Thanks to her,
we might end up going broke.

Who answered the call from the bank?

Instant coffee is the best.
It's nice and sweet.

Father, did you talk to the guys
from the bank?

Father, did you talk to the guys
from the bank?

I'll handle that myself.
You stay out of it.

You know I can't do that.

And how would you possibly handle it?

You know that junior of mine named Tick?

You know that junior of mine named Tick?

Yes, the loan shark, right?

Yes. He's got a lot of connections.

He knows a lot of people in banks.

He knows a lot of people in banks.

I'm going to go with Stick
and talk to the branch manager in person.

Seokcheol, your father and I
will take care of it. Don't worry.

Look, you can't just go threaten
a branch manager these days.

Look, you can't just go threaten
a branch manager these days.

You could get in serious trouble.

They'll think you're robbers.

I'm not going to threaten anyone.

I'm going to ask them if they can extend
the deadline for the payment.

I'm going to ask them if they can extend
the deadline for the payment.

I'll take care of it. Now, go away.

It's all right.

Fine.

Bye.

Bye.

SEOKHEE

- I heard you have Mom's kimchi for me?
- Yeah.

- I heard you have Mom's kimchi for me?
- Yeah.

And there's one for Kihong too?

Bring it over to my house.

Hey, I'm not your kimchi deliveryman.

- I'll swing by the hospital. Come take--
- I've told you not to come here.

- I'll swing by the hospital. Come take--
- I've told you not to come here.

Just drop it off at my place. Bye.

I'm--

Hello? Hey, Seokhee. Hey!

What a brat!

What a brat!

As if I'd let him bring the kimchi here!

Was that Seokcheol? What was it about?

My mom's sending some kimchi for us.

He wanted to drop it off here.

You should've let him.
I'd finally be able to see my friend.

You should've let him.
I'd finally be able to see my friend.

Are you guys really friends?

I like everything about you
except the fact that you're his friend.

Honey, why do you like my brother?
Other than the fact that you're friends.

Honey, why do you like my brother?
Other than the fact that you're friends.

If not for him, I probably
wouldn't have gone to med school.

Back in school, I got bullied a lot
because I was a small kid.

Seokcheol would beat up the bullies
and tell them not to mess with his friend.

Thanks to that,
I studied hard and became a doctor.

What about Byeongsoo?

Byeongsoo? He was a total loser in school.

I can't believe he's running around
trying to catch criminals these days.

I can't believe he's running around
trying to catch criminals these days.

What are you doing after work?

Maybe I could come over to your place,
and we could have some wine?

Maybe I could come over to your place,
and we could have some wine?

I have plans with a friend this evening.

That's okay.
I'll just wait for you at your place.

That's okay.
I'll just wait for you at your place.

Okay? Text me on your way back.

- Don't take off your socks at my house.
- Okay.

MYOUNGSAN INDUSTRIES

MYOUNGSAN INDUSTRIES

What?

What did you just say?

I want to quit.

What are you talking about
all of a sudden?

What are you talking about
all of a sudden?

It isn't sudden.

I've been thinking about it
for a while now.

I just didn't tell you.

What on earth are you saying?

What on earth are you saying?

Hey, this isn't like any ordinary job.
You can't just quit when you want to.

Then,

what should I do?

You want me to turn into Taehoon?

Listen, boss,
I'm sorry to have to say this,

Listen, boss,
I'm sorry to have to say this,

but I don't intend
to be mistreated like that.

Come on, man.

What's wrong with you?

You know I have a lot of respect for you.

You're younger than me,
but I respect you despite that.

You're younger than me,
but I respect you despite that.

It's true, you punk.

It's just that your timing's all wrong.

The Chairman's already on edge
because of that bastard Taehoon.

If I go up to him and say,
"Boss, Seokcheol wants to quit his job,"

If I go up to him and say,
"Boss, Seokcheol wants to quit his job,"

what do you think he'll say?

There's no way I can tell him that.

- Okay, then I'll tell him myself.
- Hey!

- Okay, then I'll tell him myself.
- Hey!

Sit down.

Sit back down, come on.

Let's talk about it.

This is exhausting.

I've got it.

Take care of that matter
with the third district first.

Take care of that matter
with the third district first.

Once you do, I'll tell the Chairman
that we should let you go.

It's more likely
he'll approve your resignation then.

It's more likely
he'll approve your resignation then.

Even if he doesn't,

I'll do everything I can
to help you leave.

You know it's always good to end something
on a positive note.

You know it's always good to end something
on a positive note.

Take care of the third district,

get an incentive
by securing the construction deal,

take your severance pay,
and then you can be on your way.

What do you say? Okay?

What do you say? Okay?

Come on, dude,
you need money to start a new life.

If you leave empty-handed,
you'll just ruin your chances out there.

If you leave empty-handed,
you'll just ruin your chances out there.

This deal will be my last job. Okay?

Absolutely. I won't stop you.

Okay. I'll make sure to settle the deal.

Okay. I'll make sure to settle the deal.

- On one condition.
- What is it?

I won't resort to any violence.

Everything will work out
if we just go with the flow.

Everything will work out
if we just go with the flow.

All right, fine.

Fine, I get it.

That's not how gangsters work,
you bastard.

That's not how gangsters work,
you bastard.

God, you're driving me nuts.

Hello?

What? Why did you bring it here?
I told you to drop it off at the house!

What? Why did you bring it here?
I told you to drop it off at the house!

I'm already here.

Meet me at the information desk.

My car reeks of kimchi. I can't stand it.

Hey, just put it in your car.

Then my car's gonna smell too.

Then my car's gonna smell too.

Well,
it's your kimchi, after all.

Oh, come on. I'm meeting a friend today.

I can't drive around
with kimchi in my car.

Your friend can help you carry it.

Your friend can help you carry it.

- Who's the friend, by the way?
- It's no one you know.

Fine, whatever.

Come down and take your kimchi,
or I'll leave it here. Bye.

These women have reduced me
to a kimchi deliveryman.

Yeah, I'm just walking in now.

Where are you?

Me?

I'm at...

Seokcheol?

Long time no see.

Yeah...

Long time no see.

Ernest Hemingway once said,

"The sun also rises,

"and as long as the sun rises,
there's hope."

"and as long as the sun rises,
there's hope."

My sun has risen again.

Do you two know each other?

Us? We--

We don't.
We just ran into each other a few times.

We don't.
We just ran into each other a few times.

Yeah, you transferred so suddenly
in ninth grade.

You must not know each other.

Kang Miyoung,
this is my brother, Park Seokcheol.

Kang Miyoung,
this is my brother, Park Seokcheol.

Hello, Seokcheol.

Hi.

I recently moved back to this neighborhood
with my mom.

I see.

I see.

So, how's life?

She's pretty famous, you know?

- She is?
- Yeah, she's really good at singing.

People from other colleges would come
to hear her sing at college festivals.

People from other colleges would come
to hear her sing at college festivals.

I thought she'd become a pop star,
but oddly enough, she didn't.

I'm not so good at all the dancing.

I have two left feet.

You sure seem a bit stiff.

You sure seem a bit stiff.

- My body can't keep up.
- Look. This is her channel.

Hey!

"Little Singing Room."

She's got a thousand subscribers.

She's got a thousand subscribers.

She's a celebrity.

It's 900-something.
I haven't hit 1,000 yet.

956 is almost as good as 1,000.

- Yeah.
- This is amazing.

Hey, you haven't liked her posts.

Hey, you haven't liked her posts.

She's your friend.
Show her some support, you brat.

An agency's reached out to her
after watching her videos.

- They asked her to audition for them.
- Whoa.

I'm so nervous about it.

I'm so nervous about it.

There's no need to be nervous.

I'm sure you'll do great. Good luck.

Thanks. I'll do my best.

What's going on here?

What do you mean?
I'm just showing your friend some support.

Why?

Close your eyes

Okay.

I have a crush on you.

You said you liked reading books.

I haven't read it myself.

I haven't read it myself.

I thought this had the best title of all.

"The Sun Also Rises."

I figured you didn't like me back.

It's all right. I didn't get my hopes up.

There are a lot of pretty girls
in high school--

I like you.

I like you.

I've had...

a crush on you too.

Grandpa had a drink,

There you go.

Hyeonggeun.

What do you think? Isn't she good?

I don't know.

She's a good singer and she's pretty.

Yes, but my mom's prettier.

What are you talking about?
She's way prettier than your mom.

I don't think so.

Grandma said
Mom's too scared of Grandpa to come home.

Today I'm going to sing you
a cover song I posted online.

Come on.

YOU CAN DO IT, CHEER UP!

Here's 300,000 won.

Thanks.

Life is hard, isn't it?

Every month, I send 500,000 won
out of my paycheck to my family,

I pay their utility bills,

and pay my own rent too.

If I want to buy myself a new outfit,
I need to save up for a whole year.

Fortunately, people are clueless about it.

Our pretty faces make up for it.

you can't sing in front of people?

Yes.

You need to have courage to be a singer.

MYOUNGSAN HOSPITAL

What is it?

Spit it out.

You know...

From the other day...

That friend of yours...

Miyoung...

What about her?

You came here to ask me for her number?

You came here to ask me for her number?

What?

How did you know? Did you read my mind?

How very interesting.

How very interesting.

Miyoung asked me for your number too.

Really?

Well, did you give her my number?

Do you have feelings for her? Be honest.

Do you have feelings for her? Be honest.

Why? Is it wrong to have feelings for her?

Miyoung's my friend, I care about her.
And she's had a tough life.

She asked to meet me
because she wanted to borrow money.

She asked to meet me
because she wanted to borrow money.

Borrow money?

Is her family struggling?

Kind of, but it's amazing
how well she's dealing with it.

So, did you lend her the money?

So, did you lend her the money?

Yeah, I lent her 300,000 won.

I know about her situation,
so I couldn't say no.

Good job, little sister.

What is her situation, though?

That's none of your business.

She's had terrible luck,
not to mention that sudden transfer.

There were weird rumors about her
in school.

What rumors?

All you need to know
is that something bad happened.

I'm busy. Bye.

Hey, wait. Did you give her my number?

Hey, tell me before...

That brat.

Hi, Seokcheol. This is Miyoung.

Hi, Seokcheol. This is Miyoung.

It was nice to meet you.
But we didn't get to catch up properly.

Hi.

It was nice meeting you too.

- Shall we meet today?
- Would you like to meet?

- Enjoy your drink.
- Thank you.

- Would you like to order?
- What?

- Would you like to order?
- What?

Oh?

Do you work here?

You look good.

You too.

You've somehow gotten cooler
over the years.

- Come on, don't tease me.
- Really.

I'm sorry.

For leaving without telling you.

I always regretted it.

I shouldn't have done that.

Well, it's all in the past now.

I figured you must have had your reasons.

I figured you must have had your reasons.

I see.

Despite what happened,
I thought about you a lot.

I would wonder how you were doing,

I would wonder how you were doing,

and whether we'd ever get to meet again.

I actually thought about you...

a lot too.

I would wonder how you were,
if you were doing what you wanted,

and if we'd ever get to meet again,
even once, you know.

and if we'd ever get to meet again,
even once, you know.

I am doing what I want in life.

It's just not working out well.

Oh, wait. How did the audition go?

Uh...

I didn't make it.

Huh? Really? Why?

Huh? Really? Why?

Goodness.

The truth is,
I can't sing in front of people.

When someone's watching me...

When someone's watching me...

I panic and find it hard to breathe.

I'm too shy.
It's like a disease, you know.

I can sing just fine when I'm alone,
but strangely...

I can sing just fine when I'm alone,
but strangely...

I think it's better
when I play the piano, though.

It eases my mind.

It's okay. Happens to me all the time.

It's okay. Happens to me all the time.

Oh.

I better get going.
I'll miss the bus.

Where are you going? Let me drive you.

Oh, just the bus stop.

It's okay. I'm old enough to drive now.

- Let me drive you.
- It's far.

- No problem.
- You sure? It's very far.

- No problem.
- You sure? It's very far.

What is it?

I always take the bus,

so you driving me today
makes it feel like a road trip.

I love it.

Me too.

I'm mostly driving by myself,

so it's nice to be with someone.

Shall we carpool from now on?

A nursing home?

I come here to visit my mom.

I come here to visit my mom.

You remember my mom, right?

Of course. Does she live here?

She's unwell, so I had to put her up here.

Do you mind if I come with you?
I'd like to say hello to her.

Why didn't you answer my calls, Mom?
I was so worried.

You called me?

See? You got missed calls from me,
your daughter.

You're right.

You're right.

My daughter's called me so many times.

When you get a missed call next time,
click this icon and call me back, okay?

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

Hello, ma'am.

Do you remember me?

Do you know Miyoung's friend Seokhee?
I'm her older brother.

Don't you remember him? That's Seokcheol.

He used to visit your gimbap place often.

Yeah.

You're Mr. Broom!

You're Mr. Broom!

Look at you all grown up!

Mom, his name is Seokcheol, not Broom.

- You don't call someone a broom.
- Oh!

- You don't call someone a broom.
- Oh!

Ma'am, you're right. I am Mr. Broom!

I used to hang around your store
hoping to see Miyoung,

and you'd chase me away with a broom.

Really?

- Yeah.
- Are you serious?

Ma'am, your memory is great.

Really.

No, Mom, I'm sorry.

I can't take you home with me today,
I'm sorry.

But I want to go home, Miyoung.

I know, I'd like that too.

I know, I'd like that too.

But I can't leave you there alone
when I go to work.

What if you get lost again like that day?

I don't care. I don't want to stay here.

I don't care. I don't want to stay here.

Hang in there, okay?

I'll work really hard
and take you home soon.

Just a little longer.

Just a little longer, I'm sorry.
Please hang in there.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, okay? I really am.

ORTHOPEDIC CENTER

- Go on ahead. I'll catch up with you.
- Shall I order for you?

- An iced Americano, please.
- Okay.

- I have an appointment today.
- May I have your name, please?

- Go Jeongnim.
- Pardon me?

Go Jeongnim.

"Go Jeongnim."

It has to be her.

Seokkyung's friend.

- Take good care of her.
- Sure.

Mom, I have to go now.

Clap your hands.

Clap your hands.

- Come back soon.
- I will. You take care.

I'll come see you too, ma'am.

Did you hear him?

Bye, Mom. I'll see you soon.

Bye, Mom.

Bye.

Thanks... Mr. Broom.

Thanks... Mr. Broom.

Miyoung.

- Let's go.
- Where?

- Let's sing.
- What?

Come with me.

Why?

SARANGBANG PROGRAM ROOM

Hello, dear elders.

May I have your attention, please?

Seokcheol, I really can't do it.

It's okay, Miyoung.

It's okay, Miyoung.

Look at them, they don't care about us.

All right, everyone. Listen up...

Okay, let's say you're paying attention.

Let's give her a warm welcome.

Ms. Kang Miyoung!

A round of applause for her!

Applause, please.

Applause, please.

I really can't sing
in front of so many people.

Miyoung, imagine you're singing
just for me.

Give it a shot, okay?

That's insane. Hey, film it.

Do you see this here?

Do you see how narrow it is
compared to the others?

The fluid is sticking
to this fibrous ring here.

The fluid is sticking
to this fibrous ring here.

It must be quite painful.

- Do you have trouble walking?
- Yes.

- I'll get a wheelchair for you.
- Mmm-hmm.

Do you have to bend down or stay seated
for a long time at work?

Do you have to bend down or stay seated
for a long time at work?

Well...

I wouldn't call it work.

But, yeah, I guess you could say that.

But, yeah, I guess you could say that.

Don't you often sit cross-legged
on the floor?

I bet you even bend down
and look at something like this.

How do you know?

- Jeongnim, don't you remember me?
- Who...

- Who is she?
- It's Seokhee.

Seokkyung's younger sister.

- You really don't remember me?
- Do you know her?

She's my sister's high school friend.

She's my sister's high school friend.

- They're best friends.
- Oh, really?

Oh, Seokhee. Yes, I remember you.

Oh, Seokhee. Yes, I remember you.

Easy, easy, easy!

Be careful!

I bet you're a terrible driver too.

I bet you're a terrible driver too.

Do you know this saying:

"You encounter your enemy's friend
at the worst place and time"?

You just made that up,
didn't you?

What's all this about "an enemy's friend"?

What's all this about "an enemy's friend"?

Seokkyung ran away from home,
so she's my enemy.

And you're her friend.

Where is she?

I have no idea where she is.

I know you do.

You two are always
getting into trouble together.

You two are always
getting into trouble together.

Do you really have to be so mean to me?

We haven't seen each other
in such a long time.

You think I'm mean?

You remember my brother,
the hot-tempered thug?

Want me to call him?

Then tell me where Park Seokkyung is.

- Is this it?
- Yes, up there.

Oh, okay.

Thanks for today.

Don't mention it.

Don't mention it.

Get home safe. I'll call you soon.

Okay. Go on inside.

Bye.

Bye.

SEOKHEE

Yeah, what is it?

What the...

Why are you laughing?

You remember Seokkyung's friend, Jeongnim?

Jeongnim...

Ah, yes, the gambler.

Ah, yes, the gambler.

Always came over to play cards
at Seokkyung's hair salon.

Yeah. She came to the hospital today.
She's been admitted for a herniated disc.

- Really?
- Yes.

- Really?
- Yes.

I intimidated her into telling me
where Seokkyung is.

Where are you? I'm coming over.

Got it.

I'll be there soon.

I'll be there soon.

- Let's go!
- What's her current location?

It's on the app. Follow the map.

It's on the app. Follow the map.

- Okay.
- Let's go.

Are you sure it's safe
for us to go by ourselves?

There might be scary people
at that gambling place.

You still have that baseball bat
in the trunk?

What exactly
are you going to do with it?

What exactly
are you going to do with it?

Don't try to be clever.
Just stay put, and I'll take care of it.

On some days
it's good to have a thug for a brother.

Sure, go ahead and take advantage of it.

That must be it.

It might seem like a club,
but it's actually a gambling house.

It might seem like a club,
but it's actually a gambling house.

There should be a guard
in a car somewhere.

Over there. I think that's him.

I think there'll be thugs
inside the place too.

Let's go in.

You're not going anywhere. It's dangerous.

Then what do we do?

Try to lure that guard out of his car.

Try to lure that guard out of his car.

Think you can do it?

Okay.

Be careful.
Don't do anything more than that.

Yeah, okay.

What do you want?

I came to gamble.

Gamble?

How did you find this place?

- Jeongnim told me about it.
- Oh.

- Jeongnim told me about it.
- Oh.

Where is she? Are you here alone?

Uh, she told me to go inside
and wait for her.

You must be eager to get in.

I got you.

Just a sec.

All right. We have a customer coming in.
Do you copy?

All right. We have a customer coming in.
Do you copy?

All right.

Come on in.

Tell them it's two customers.

Tell them it's two customers.

All right, ladies and gentlemen.
You heard the cuckoo.

All right, ladies and gentlemen.
You heard the cuckoo.

Time to hand over my commission.
Have two chips ready, please.

Get rich.

Could you get us a new ashtray?

Could you get us a new ashtray?

Here's a tip for you.

My gosh. Thank you so much.

Mr. Hwang,
I bet Lady Luck will be on your side.

What a generous man you are.

What a generous man you are.

- Here, have a tip from me too.
- Gee, thank you.

Two each, please.

I'm sorry. Please continue. Sorry.

Seokkyung.

What's going on?

Seokhee.

Seokcheol.

Long time no see.

- Yeah.
- How could you hide in a place like this?

- Let's go. This is embarrassing.
- Go where?

- Come on. It's embarrassing.
- How did you know I was here?

- Come on. It's embarrassing.
- How did you know I was here?

- That's not important. Come on.
- Let go of my arm, Seokhee.

Wait, let's talk...

- Sorry.
- Are you kidding me?

Ashtray seems to have loan sharks
chasing her again.

Ashtray seems to have loan sharks
chasing her again.

Seems like it.

I told you to come along quietly.
Get up. Let's go.

Seokcheol, wait.

Let's go. Are you okay?

- I'm fine.
- Hurry up.

Who are you, mister?

I'm her brother. I came to take her home.

What are you saying, punk?

What are you saying, punk?

Obong, please don't.
You don't want any trouble, believe me.

He's my little brother.

Seokcheol, don't do anything,
or I'll get mad!

- Okay?
- Okay.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Ashtray.

Are they really
your little brother and sister?

Yes, ma'am.

- Hey, lady.
- Hey.

- Don't call her "Ashtray."
- Calm down.

Where are your manners?

Don't disrespect me. I'll beat you up.

- No.
- No, ma'am.

They're my little siblings.
They don't know any better.

Seokhee, my name is Ashtray now.

- They're my siblings, ma'am.
- Get out of my way!

- They're my siblings, ma'am.
- Get out of my way!

How dare you push my sister!

Seokhee!

- Ah!
- Brat!

- Ah!
- Brat!

You nasty little--

You people don't know
who you're messing with.

- Kill her!
- Rip her to shreds!

- Kill her!
- Rip her to shreds!

Hey, stop, stop!

It hurts!

Seokhee!

Seokhee!

Seokkyung!
