(Episode 2)

What was that about?

Just saying I was happy to see you.

Bye.

Hey!

Were you always in such a rush?

If you're that happy, at least buy me a meal.

And drinks.

It's not like we're 19 anymore.

You're saying I liked that flower?

- Yes. - I don't even know what that is.

That's how I remember it, anyway.

- If I liked it, I'd know the name. - Fleabane.

No, that's not it.

You recall every little thing from back then?

- What about you? - I recall what I want to forget.

Oh, here it is. You don't remember this?

Right, this.

I still don't remember.

You were good at studying. Your memory should be...

Here you go.

Thank you. Have a good day.

Oh, hey. Did you just get out of school?

Have you been eating properly?

- Gosh, why are you so skinny? - I don't have money, so get lost.

Hey, when have I ever come and shaken you down for money?

Wait a second. No, that's not what this is about.

Can you watch this kid for me?

I swear I'll be right back for her. So just for a little while, please.

You always say that, but you don't. Like I'd believe you.

No, I'm serious this time.

Nu Ri. Something urgent came up for me,

so I can't look after you. I'm so sorry.

You dump a kid on me, on my life?

How old are you?

She's pretty, right?

Gosh.

You were living a double life? The nerve.

Hold on tight to him, okay?

Hey!

Is that how you talk to your father? Calling me "Hey?"

In just a few hours, the year 2008 will come to a close,

and 2009, the Year of the Ox, will begin.

A big crowd is at Bosingak Pavilion for the traditional bell-ringing.

Hae.

Can I call you that?

I guess you can. I am older than you, after all.

What does this mean?

Nothing is normal.

Do you even know how to read Korean?

That's a relief. You have no idea what it means.

Why the sudden search for a big gig? Did you get into trouble again?

He left his girl's kid with me. And now, radio silence.

The mother took off ages ago.

So what? Are you going to raise her yourself?

Someone's got to raise her. She's just a kid.

Hey, you're just a kid yourself.

(Heavy snow)

Full points.

I'll return my key.

- All set. - Have a good one.

Goodbye.

- You're here, boss? - Don't call me that.

What's with the book you're always reading?

I just feel like I should be reading something.

See you tomorrow, boss.

Go straight home, you punk. No detours.

I'd need the energy for that.

- How did you find my house? - Is that important right now?

Take your anger out on my father. Why are you causing a scene here?

Have you forgotten all the people who got scammed because of you?

Enough. Let's go get tteokbokki. Come on!

Unbelievable.

- Seriously. - We were on our way. It's okay.

You must've been starving.

Making quite the first impression.

This is where you live?

Do you live with your mom?

My mom and your dad are getting married. Sad, isn't it?

Sounds like you're the one who's sad.

My mom is coming to see you. So you better act pathetic and beg.

- Beg her to let you live with us. - And why would I do that?

- Because it'll drive my mom nuts. - And what good will that do?

You really must be sad.

Kim Seok Joo.

Why doesn't this bother you?

- It's making me mad. - Done making trouble? Get lost.

It's not trouble, I'm just curious. Hey.

Hey, I said let's talk.

Darn...

Oh, Seok Joo, you're still here.

Well, make yourself at home.

I guess I'll just be in my room. Yes.

We both know you're here, so why are you acting this way?

Are you doing this on purpose? I'm the guest,

so what am I supposed to do when you act more like a guest than I do?

You're making your guest feel unwelcome.

So, what brings you home?

Home?

Your home... I mean, your sister's...

(Kim Seok Joo)

And you...

aren't you curious how your own kids are doing?

Am I allowed to be curious?

I wonder how Hae is doing.

Do you still keep in touch?

Okay, I'm really leaving now.

I wish you a long and healthy life.

- Look at you, not one gray hair. - No, I dye it.

Seok Joo. Is he a bad kid?

Or is he a good kid?

Welcome.

A carton of cigarettes, please. That yellow one over there.

This one?

You don't look much like Chan, do you?

I don't know where he is, and I don't have any money.

He's at my place.

We're getting remarried. And no introductions are needed.

I see.

You're a special student, I hear. You skip school but enter contests.

And you always win an award.

I'm handling your school transfer.

There's no way Chan has been a proper guardian to you,

so you need to at least graduate from a decent high school.

I'll also provide tuition and rent within reason...

You're not very responsive when an adult is speaking, are you?

Things usually turn out the way adults say they will.

Since I'm still legally a minor,

I just have to show up at the start of the new semester, right?

- Would you like a bag for that? - How nice and compliant.

I wish my Seok Joo were more like this.

So, how much are you offering?

I'm curious what you've budgeted. That reasonable amount.

I guess you can't stand me at home, so you'd rather just pay me off.

Never mind. This kind of help just ends up as another debt.

You were held back a year, right?

You need to graduate from high school.

What do you see in a man like him?

He's innocent.

I have no intention of mooching off of you,

so don't worry and have a good life, you two.

- Hey. - Hello.

Hello.

- Hey! - Hello.

- Have a good break? - Yes.

All right, let's take attendance and get right to it.

- Yes. - Let's see.

Sunwoo Hae.

Time to wake up.

- Okay? I'll take attendance again. - Okay.

Number one, Go Hyo Sun.

- Here. - Look who's here.

Hi there.

How about we group these by threes?

- Okay, in the first row. - One.

- One and zero. And one. - Zero. One.

- That's right. - "Are you really leaving me?"

The greatest achievement is to blur the line between work and play.

Here, "to blur the line between work and play" describes it.

Got it?

You'll study here until the list is made.

If you skip, submit your academy forms.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Class dismissed. Bye! - Goodbye.

He's just sleeping all day. Wake up.

You've got your part-time job. Get up. Let's go.

Did you pick an academy yet?

I told you not to act all friendly with me, didn't I?

But we are close.

We've known each other for ten years.

No way.

Besides, I can't stand people like you.

And what are "people like me?"

Well...

The ones who carry daggers in here.

Did you already know Sunwoo Hae?

You sound like you knew him. Were you a fan when he debuted?

A fan? Please. He was so incredibly annoying back then.

So what is the deal between you two?

You're the one who told me not to act friendly.

Gosh, I ought to...

I sent you my new number.

Oh, you got it activated.

Ta-da.

Happy birthday!

Okay, make a wish and blow out the candles.

Hang on. Hold this for a second.

Oh, for crying out loud.

Hey! You have to make a wish first. That was your sitcom role, right?

Granting other people's wishes. If you make a wish, it'll come true.

You'll grant it yourself.

I have to grant my own wish now?

Forget the wish, I'm just going to eat.

Now that you're 20, I'll buy you drinks for life.

- Just give me the cash instead. - Not a chance.

(Late Autumn)

- I'm home. - Oh, you're back?

Hey, what's with your clothes?

What? Welcome.

- Hello. - Have a bite while you wait.

Wait for what?

I work the night shift part-time. Today, I'm just filling in.

- Here you go. - Hey.

I'll go change. I'll be right out.

Hey, where do you think you're going?

What about the green onions?

The green onions? Right.

I thought you just sent me out for some fresh air.

Hey, have you learned nothing about this business?

I have never served a single dish without green onions.

There must be some in the fridge. Go look.

So you were on your way to get green onions.

Oh, so nights might be difficult? I can just drop off the profile...

The owner apologises, but we're out of green onions right now.

Oh, that's all right.

Enjoy your meal.

I'd be grateful for your call. I know how busy you are.

Oh, okay. Then maybe while she travels...

You're working hard.

Oh, are you all finished? One moment.

I'll ring you up.

Oh, I see. Okay.

- Do you need the receipt? - Oh, I don't need it.

- Thank you. Get home safe. - Thank you.

Come again.

Je Yeon, can I see you for a second?

Je Yeon, can you give this to Hae?

There's a career form inside. Make sure you get it back from him.

He's the only one left to turn it in. I'm counting on you.

Okay. Teacher?

I heard Hae's a year older than us. Did he just get back from abroad?

No, he didn't study abroad. Apparently, he took a year off.

- He was sick for a while. - I see.

And you know the new turf out front?

Hae's family is the one funding it.

(Sangdu-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, 25-48, Unit 201)

They're installing the new turf?

"To be family-oriented."

"To run."

Hi! I'm the class president.

I have your award and gift certificate.

You waited all this time for this?

I was afraid I'd miss you if I went to eat.

Plus, I need the career form that's in there from you.

- Our homeroom teacher asked. - Who's that?

Shouldn't I say hello?

Hello. I'm the class president.

I'm just here on an errand.

Hello.

I'm his little sister. I'm in daycare.

Want some ramyeon?

Ramyeon?

Thanks for the food.

This is so good.

I'm good at making it.

Just one little pebble fell out,

but everything came pouring out.

I haven't read a novel in forever. Something that isn't for test prep.

- This is really good. - You think so?

I'm very picky.

Ever since I was a kid, I always found school books boring.

I can lend it to you if you like it.

- Really? - It's coming out as a book soon.

- A book? - Yes.

Wait, don't tell me you wrote this.

I wanted books for my little sister, but didn't like the ones available.

You say that like it's nothing, but it's incredible.

Are you, like, a genius or something?

I don't know about that. As long as it makes money, I'm good.

Money?

I'll be sure to buy the book when it comes out.

And I'll pay you for the ramyeon, if you want.

So you're supposed to get this back?

Yes.

How did they know I wouldn't go to school?

Why do you keep skipping school?

I'm either working or sleeping. Besides, there's no reason to go.

Future goal? George Clooney.

What is this? Be serious.

I am being serious. It's just hard.

This is supposed to be the easiest thing to do.

Fine, then start with the section for your parents' hopes.

(Parents' Hopes)

What did you write, Ms. President?

Judge, prosecutor, and lawyer. I just wrote what my mom told me to.

Aren't you supposed to write down your own dream?

Your mom isn't you.

Gosh. Let's see what you come up with.

Goodness.

Sorry.

We're not that close yet.

I got heated.

Well...

I'm just going to write down "Rich." Because that's what I want to be.

Think you can fill all three slots?

Sure. Rich, super-rich, and tycoon.

So...

You have a part-time job or something?

Yes. Pretty much whenever I'm awake.

Do you mind if I ask why?

To make ends meet, I guess?

What do you do with your time, Ms. President?

Besides sleeping, I'm pretty much always studying.

Gosh, that's fascinating. Isn't that exhausting?

Is it?

I'm not sure.

You know, I thought you were going to put down "actor."

Where did that come from?

For the career form. You were so famous as a kid.

Did you retire or something?

- George Clooney is an actor. - Oh, I had no idea.

I don't really get to watch TV.

No wonder. That seemed like a weird job title.

- So that's a person. - You don't go online much, do you?

Haven't you heard them talk about me?

No.

I'm not really interested in gossip.

How about sleeping at school? You could go to the nurse's office.

- Or come in late or leave early. - What's your point?

I'm worried about you.

What if you miss too many days and can't graduate?

Gosh.

It's been a long time since anyone besides Geon No worried about me.

Who's Geon No? He must be much older than you.

- The bill, please. - Just a moment.

- Did you enjoy everything? - Yes, we did.

Let's see, 1 soju and 1 beer.

Yes, that'll be 4.7 dollars. Ouch!

Gosh.

- Would you like your receipt? - No, I'm good.

All right, thank you. Ouch!

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Thank you. Come again.

- Okay. - Thanks, it was great.

- Have a good night. - Hae, does this have to stay here?

I keep getting pricked by it.

It looks good there. Besides, we put that there ages ago.

And you're still getting pricked?

Here's the dish you didn't order.

But I didn't order this. Why bring it?

This is what happens when you only order drinks.

A flower shop by day and a bar by night?

I've helped out here since I was 20. The owner's a guy from my hometown.

Since you were 20?

Oh, right. You were 20 when we were high school seniors, weren't you?

- Was it because you were ill? - Did I tell you that much?

The class president knows everything. So don't mess with me.

Got it, Class President.

Dig in.

Hey. I had an immature thought back then.

When you had to miss school for your part-time job,

making your own money seemed like a whole other world to me.

You seemed so grown-up, you know?

Working to pay bills and debts. I guess that is pretty grown-up.

Hey, why the hard time? I'm trying to say you were cool.

Fine, whatever. Just eat.

It's really good. Try it.

- You made this? - Of course.

- Gosh, this is delicious. - Exactly.

Recommend a drink to pair with it.

Well, let me see.

Here we go. It says right here.

A recommendation from the owner.

It's 230 dollars? Did you forget you're treating me?

I slipped into employee mode.

Also, the owner broke the bottle last time. Luckily.

"Luckily?"

Fire! What do I do?

I'll take care of it. Just one moment.

I've been waiting for this moment. See? I told you it'd come in handy!

Just a second!

Hey, excuse me!

Just a second!

Please step away.

Gosh, what is that?

Hey! Why use that?

Gosh, what is that?

Gosh, it actually works. You must be a firefighter.

Are you all right?

- Yes. - Just water would've been fine.

Since she's your customer, you clean it all up.

No, she's our store's customer, so let's clean it up together.

So cool.

Do you think it's true Hae's been going into motels?

A kid like that transferred here? There goes the school's reputation.

Did you get into college or what? Take your gossip outside.

Guys, people are trying to study. Let's keep it down.

That includes you, Kim Seok Joo.

And it's not right to spread baseless rumours,

so please cut it out.

If you keep skipping classes, you might not be able to graduate.

You have a good shot at early entry with your special talent.

If you study, you could even aim for a reach school with regular entry.

Does it bug you that you've gone from a problem child...

to a special student with awards?

It feels like I'm cheating. Just by transferring to this school.

Then bend the rules to get by. You're allowed to.

And what's this about George Clooney?

Are you changing your name? To George Clooney?

Sunwoo Clooney?

Those are both surnames. In Korea, it'd be like two last names.

Why am I even humouring you?

Unbelievable.

What did the homeroom teacher say?

She said to apply for early entry. But why bother?

It's because your grades are doomed. I've noticed you really don't study.

I told you to mind your attendance.

That's part of it, but I'm not going to college anyway.

What do you mean you're not going to college?

Some people just don't, you know?

Where are you going? It's lunchtime.

Hey, let's go! Run!

- Hurry up. - Here.

To wash down your meal.

What's this?

What's this candy for? Wait for me.

Is it good?

This is actually good, all of a sudden.

- How about you? Is it good? - It's super sweet.

- So why no school lunch? - I didn't pay. It's a waste.

But nutritionists plan those meals, checking every single ingredient,

so they're probably good for you.

Oh, I see.

Your way of thinking is better than I expected.

I'll have to use it more often.

(Sunwoo Hae, Cold)

Oh, you mean sleeping in the nurse's office?

Yes.

Give these to your little sister.

Glow-in-the-dark stars?

You can put them on the ceiling or stick them along her usual path.

Why didn't I think of that?

Because I'm the one with the ideas? How will you get rich that way?

Forget what your mom wants for you. What do you want to be?

What? Me?

- Seoul National University? - That's a destination, not a dream.

- I was asking what your dream is. - Do I have to have one?

I was just curious what someone as brilliant as you dreams about.

Hey!

Oh, stop! You're just saying that.

Are you okay?

The sky is pretty.

Focus!

- I am focused. - Liar.

At least pretend to read.

Hae. There's a rumour going around.

Vice Principal, what's wrong? You have to at least hear him out.

A motel? A student going to motels?

I ignored the problems and accepted you as a special admission student,

and now there's word you were seen leaving a motel with a girl.

How'd they see me? Were they a customer, too?

You should be apologising first!

I'm suspending you, so don't think about leaving home.

What? You actually came.

Do you like Sunwoo Hae?

Does Sunwoo Hae like you back?

- Do you like Sunwoo Hae? - How did you know?

- You're ridiculous. - If I'm so funny, laugh.

How have you not changed at all? You've always been this weird.

Did you bring her here?

You think she'd come just because I told her to?

Stop showing up where I am. I don't want your mom getting ideas.

I was curious if the rumour was true. About you and the motel.

- Why are you curious about that? - Because I thought she would be.

This is no fun.

I'm leaving.

I'm not curious. I trust you.

It's him I don't trust.

And you say that while you're here, in a place that's so not your scene?

Because it looked like you were struggling.

Take it easy.

(Cheer up.)

It's a part-time front desk job. There aren't many night jobs for me.

You should get going. Don't hang around a place like this.

- Okay. - Go.

Bye!

Hey.

Gosh, what are you doing out so late?

Hey.

Come with me. She...

Ms. Pil Du said she'll pay off all our debt.

That woman is certainly paying a pretty penny for you.

What will you do about Nu Ri?

I can't get in touch with her mother,

so for now, I was thinking of an orphanage...

Are you crazy? We'll survive on our own.

Don't you ever show up unannounced like this again.

Don't you remember what happened to your mother?

If you start getting sick,

we can't afford your medicine and hospital bills.

And if I get sick and die, is she going to pay for that too?

What, do I have some terminal illness?

- You wish I were dead, don't you? - Why would you say that?

To be honest, I wish I were too.

I'm sorry.

I'm so ashamed of what I've done to you and your mother.

Just leave me alone.

I'm barely holding on day by day.

Son.

I like her. How about you?

- You like her? - What are you talking about?

All done. Grab your backpack.

You're going to be late for daycare.

I'm not going to daycare today. It's Children's Day.

I see.

If daycare's closed for the holiday, what should we do?

What should we do?

Do my hair again. I want to go to the amusement park.

Want to go on that one?

I want some ice cream.

That's a first. You want something? Should we go get it together?

My legs hurt.

I'll wait over there.

I'll be right back,

so don't wander off.

Excuse me, sorry to bother you.

Have you seen a small girl in yellow with pigtails?

She was sitting there.

No, I don't think so. Sorry.

Excuse me. Have you seen a girl this tall with pigtails and a backpack?

- I haven't. - Sorry, I haven't seen her.

Eun Nu Ri!

I'm so sick of this.

A little girl in a yellow sweater, with a red backpack and pigtails.

Her guardian is looking for her. If you're with her or have seen her,

please notify a nearby staff member.

Is anyone in there?

The park is closing soon. You need to come out now.

I'm Eun Nu Ri's guardian. Did you say you found her?

Yes, a staff member found her. Oh, here they come now.

Oh, she said she was thirsty, so I was getting her some water.

I told you not to wander off.

I was so afraid I'd lost you.

That I'd abandoned you.

Because I was hoping you'd lose me.

I just make things hard for you, don't I?

If I were gone, it might be a little easier on you.

You silly little thing. Is this why you wanted us to come here?

You're no trouble at all. This was the hardest day of my life.

You hear me?

Not even looking at your book. What are you staring at?

The stars.

I should've watched them from home. I've got plenty on my ceiling.

The star you're looking at. That's a satellite.

No wonder it was glowing so artificially.

Is it a satellite?

Sung Je Yeon.

Yes?

Don't go.

- What? - You didn't pay.

Can't you see I left my bag behind?

But you take your wallet. Where is it?

Hand it over.

You're always subtly making me out to be the one paying.

None of this is yours.

Hey, watch out.

You...

Good grief.

If you plan to stay like this until morning assembly, give up.

Summer break started today.

Gosh. Hey.

Hey.

So, what now? Off to work?

Maybe I'll go to the bank, then head home and take a nap.

Hang out with me.

I've never really hung out for fun, so I might not be good at it.

Me neither.

Well...

- Let's go to your bank first. - And then what?

Well...

Wanna rob the bank?

Thank you for using our service.

(Deposit from Kim Pil Du, 1,000 dollars)

What's with the long face?

Did you not get your paycheck? Those bastards.

There's money coming in every month, but I hate the thought of using it.

Even though I need it.

And it feels like a blow to my pride.

What good is pride?

Even when I'm mad at my mom, I still take the money she gives me.

Don't be mad at your mom. Treat her well.

So, what should we do now?

Normally, people would go to karaoke...

or an Internet cafe, I guess?

What?

No. We robbed a bank. Now, a bookstore.

You're such a model student.

You keep smiling. I like that.

(Driver's License Test Questions)

Do you want it?

It's just...

It's pretty.

(Jin Mu Yeong's first novel, "Waegeum")

- Let's go. - Okay.

What?

This is the new book.

By the way, what's "Waegeum?"

It's a type of apple. I used it because it sounded cool.

So pretentious.

- Jin Mu Yeong? - It's my pen name.

You even have a pen name?

It's my mom's name.

Gosh, your mom must be so proud.

I hope she is.

I'll buy a copy, too. I promised, didn't I?

- Just give me the cash. - No, I want the book.

It's a gift.

And please sign the book with this, too.

What's this for?

- I don't have a signature. - How did you sign as a kid?

I'd just write my name.

So what is this?

It's a wish bracelet. I bought it for you.

There are two of them. Are we supposed to share?

No, they're both for you. One is so you'll get rich.

And the other one...

You make the wish.

Can you put it on for me? I don't think I can do it by myself.

Okay.

Hoo.

Hoo?

You're hurt.

I blew on it hard so it would heal quickly.

Sign it for me. For real.

I'm getting a signature for a tragic and beautiful book by a prodigy.

Oh, stop.

You know, this is the first time I've ever talked to a genius.

Hey, I said to cut it out.

What? Even a genius' ears turn red.

Doesn't this sound like ocean waves?

You bring out the poet in me.

Do you like the ocean?

Who doesn't love the ocean? What about you?

I'm not sure. I've never really thought about it.

Want to go to the ocean? Right now.

We can go to the bus station and take the first bus anywhere.

It's summer break.

That way!

I'd like this many of these flowers, please.

I guess I'll have to get you a lot.

Come here.

When I'm with you,

I forget all about my problems, which I know I shouldn't.

I can't believe any of this is happening.

It feels like I'm dreaming.

I guess I really like you, too.

But I have to focus on my studies right now, so,

if I ask you out in college, will you go out with me?

Whatever you're picturing at 20, Class President,

please leave me out of it.

Is it because of college?

I'm a good student. You can do it too.

Here's my number. If you have questions, call me...

When I'm with you, I keep...

I don't have the energy for that. I don't, but still...

- I feel like I'm pouring it all. - You...

don't like me? If you don't,

then why are we here together?

And why did you buy me flowers?

I'm so sorry.

I don't want an apology. I want to know.

I just don't get it. I'm not asking you to date me now.

When we're 20... Oh, right, you turned 20.

Anyway.

Is it me? Do you hate me?

I hate myself. Me. It's me I hate.

What are you talking about?

No, what kind of crap is that?

This is so ridiculous!

You need to help me spell and go to work.

Oh, right.

I can write this from memory now.

(Twinkle twinkle little star)

For me, I just...

Even if it's just once in a while,

I want my world to feel beautiful.

But...

I feel like too much of that has happened today.

It's just...

Just until I graduate.

For maybe one season,

I guess I wanted to live like that.

I did.

I...

like her too.

Je Yeon, did your family go broke?

What? My family?

Je Yeon.

I wonder where we should go for tteokbokki.

- Mom. - Yes?

- Are we broke? - We're not broke.

We're on our way to being broke.

You have to focus on your exams, so it's a secret...

And you still want to drive this car when we're going broke?

We're on our way to sell it!

Dad will take care of everything. Don't you worry about it.

- Just you focus on your studies. - Come on. "Going broke?"

How can everything fall apart all at once?

I mean, if we were going broke, you should have told me.

I was worried it'd be a distraction. As your mother, I...

- Darn it. - Are you crying?

When exactly did it start? I mean...

If only I'd known yesterday... Seriously.

I'd have told you I was struggling, that life is hard for me as well.

Seriously.

(Counting the Stars at Night)

(Memories on a star, love on a star)

(Memories on a star, love on a star)

This is my "Counting the Stars at Night," Mother.

I can't get any studying done.

Hey! If you're here, why not come in?

You lied to me. The rumours are right.

The motel, the girl!

I'll handle this and be right in, boss.

Okay, just hurry it up.

"Boss?" She must be rich then. Is that the cash you wouldn't spend?

Why is it okay for her, but not for me?

Did you study so hard just to waste your energy in a place like this?

How'd you know about the nosebleeds?

Darn it.

And you wouldn't even give me a little kiss.

If I give you that stupid kiss, will you just go home?

I don't know. Guess we'll have to find out.

Don't push me away this time.

I can't focus on my studies because of you.

My diary is filled with your name.

It's so frustrating! Seriously!

So that's the only thing you can't do? Studying?

"Only?" My entire future is riding on this.

Exactly. So stake your future on that,

not on me. Now, go straight home.

And don't ever come back.

You don't belong here.

Don't you act like you know me again!

Ever!

(Cheer up.)

It's sweet.

Gosh, the ice cream...

You just bought it for yourself, didn't you?

Hey, I was worried it would melt since you were working.

Yes, I get it. Enjoy.

Look at us, all grown up and sharing a drink.

Are we, though? Really grown up?

Well, I am.

Guess you're not, right?

So what happened with that show you were trying to cast for?

Why do you care?

It's not like you were going to do it anyway.

I figured if you cast yourself, it must be important to you.

I never pictured you as a manager.

Well, I never thought you'd own a flower shop.

This feels like a time warp.

Did you go to college?

Yes, I did.

I had to get that scholarship.

Was that my freshman year, second semester?

I got beat for the top spot in our major back then.

I was so mad, I could've killed them.

I wondered if killing them would get me the scholarship.

Anyway...

Hey, you okay?

I'm totally fine.

She must be a lightweight.

I hope she can walk on two feet.

I barely even got to talk to her.

Thanks.

What?

It's moving.

But why?

You have to pay.

Are you giving me a piggyback ride?

I guess I let you drink too much. Are you okay?

- What if I'm not? - Are you not?

What if I am?

Then it's time to get down.

Light as a feather, aren't I?

I'm only taking you to the taxi stop.

Gosh, I'm drunk.

Careful.

I'll go get a hangover drink. Wait a second.

Okay?

Where's the convenience store?

I guess I kind of wanted to see you.

And I guess I was curious too.

After you vanished into blackness,

I wondered how you were living.

How do you "vanish into blackness?" Is that some kind of poem?

Because the roads you returned to...

were so dark.

Goodness.

I must be drunk. I'm getting so emotional.

Gosh.

I was curious about you too.

If you'd gone off to college...

or if you became one of the things on your mom's list.

Whatever you became,

I wondered if we would ever meet again.

Stuff like that.

Should I do it?

Do what?

That show with the actor you mentioned.

- Why? - No reason, just...

If the shop gets popular from TV, I can make a lot of money.

My life's ambition is...

to be rich, you know.

(Focus!)

(My Youth)

I'd be lying if I said I never thought about you.

My path wasn't so dark. Thanks to you.

I wonder if this is what he meant by a new beginning.

I've decided to get along with you. At least until filming is over.

- It's Sunwoo Hae. - Wait, what's this? What happened?

- What's going on? - Hey, Bebop.

Hey, Beat.

Do you find me awkward?

No, not at all. Why would I?

Sunwoo Hae's story is ideal for gossip, don't you think?

Hey, Sunwoo Hae.

Seriously, why did you agree to do the show?

What's going to happen to us now?
