(Episode 10)

Oh, okay.

Okay, I'll come by then, and we can talk more.

Okay, thank you so much.

Okay, goodbye.

Who was that so early?

The hospital.

It's almost time for my check-up.

Did you sleep well?

Why are you covering up?

I'm too...

exposed right now?

Oh, come on.

Go back to sleep.

Where are you going?

To make you some food.

Haven't you started the rice?

Just wait a minute. I'll get breakfast ready for you.

Should I do it?

I'm really good at getting the water level just right.

Hold on.

First, let's get your hair dry.

You'll catch a cold. Come on.

What about breakfast?

I can do it myself.

Because I want to.

Stop being awkward and just accept it.

Okay.

This mole on the back of your neck...

Here. No, right here.

Hey! That tickles.

You read the letter, didn't you?

Traitor.

Wasn't the plan for you to find it by accident?

It was a masterpiece.

The spelling was perfect and everything?

But...

the stationery looked like it was from a long time ago.

The person who wrote the beginning...

didn't feel like the same person I'm with now.

What are your plans for today?

Practicing arranging the bouquet.

In that case, I'll work on the wedding script.

- Let's do this! - Let's do this!

- You got this. Don't be nervous! - Come with me.

- Spray some water on that. - Here, put it on.

- Put it on. - Thanks.

Nu Ri, let's do a chant too.

All right.

One, two, three!

- You got this! - You got this!

- Thank you. - Hurry inside.

- Thank you. - You'll do great.

- Okay, I'm off. - Okay.

I'm so nervous.

Should I go grab some coffee?

Give you two some privacy.

I'm going to go get one for myself.

I'll have a hot coffee.

In that case,

I'll have an English Breakfast milk tea with no sugar.

Around 165 degrees, so I can drink it immediately.

Would that be too much to ask?

You're a real piece of work.

What?

You know...

I may have gotten older, but I don't feel like I've grown up.

Most days, I needed someone to comfort me,

and you were always there for me.

In the end,

I just end up right back here next to you.

I guess to other people, my life must seem pretty pathetic.

But I don't care what other people think.

As long as you don't see me that way.

Are you wearing that perfume? The one I like?

Yes.

I figured even if you tire of me, you'd still like this scent.

You can be a bit much sometimes.

Liar.

Gosh, you're something else.

And I guess I am, too.

I'm starting to feel a little better.

I guess this is why they say you need a kid in the house.

Using him as an excuse to just patch things up so easily.

I never would've done that in the past.

Come on.

I thought we were finally starting to feel like a real married couple.

You think so? A real married couple?

What?

Can I help you find something?

Oh, I need to buy a textbook for my English class.

Where's the foreign language...

Oh, my gosh. What was that?

Gi Ppeum, what are you doing here?

I just stopped by for a bit before my class.

It's so nice having a bookstore near the office.

You must come here a lot. You still don't have your license.

I just keep failing the on-road test.

I'll get it eventually.

The foreign language section is this way.

So, Gi Ppeum, what did you buy?

Oh, well...

I was just buying Tae Rin's magazine.

But that's not out for a while.

But the thought is very delicious.

So, what did you buy that you have to hide?

Well, the thing is...

I just like homemaking.

If you like it, why hide it? Are you ashamed?

No, I'm not ashamed at all.

It's just that older people say that if a man works in the kitchen,

something important will fall off.

I've never seen any studies that show that.

Maybe I missed that study?

I mean, I can't even find my own textbook right now.

I told you, it's this way.

I guess you have no sense of direction.

Oh, you're here!

The security guard was saying...

that some guy's been lurking around every night for the past few days.

When you're coming and going, check in with me or Gi Ppeum.

- You never know. - Okay.

Right. When's the press conference for the show again?

"Femmicide for Love?"

That's still a few weeks away...

Are you prepping for the promotion schedule already?

Of course. You have to be prepared.

I was so lean during filming. I can't show up looking all bloated.

- Anything popular. - What's the most popular?

Something like instant rice.

Oh, Nu Ri!

Great job today.

Kimchi!

Oh, come stand over here.

Let me get a picture of you with this background.

Should we?

- Come on, over here. - Goodness.

- Let me get a shot. - Okay.

One, two, three!

Give me a break. Goodness.

They said they can't make the milk tea without sugar.

What? Why can't they just leave out the sugar?

Well, I guess I'll manage. Thanks.

Oh, that looks heavy. Here, let me get it.

- Here. - Thanks.

I'm just going to use the restroom.

- I'll drink it when I get back. - Okay.

Oh, it's cold now.

How was your practical exam?

Oh, should I not have asked?

To be honest, I'm not really sure.

I think my mind was just all over the place the whole time.

Thinking about meeting my mom.

You know, this is how art is.

It's born from anguish.

So you decided to meet your mom.

Yes.

Actually, Hae came to see me.

Gosh, he was furious.

No way. He found out because of you...

I had a huge fight with him because of that.

What are you going to do about this?

I'm sorry.

Why even make a secret if you couldn't keep it?

I guess your mom is doing better for herself now.

When that happens,

all that longing you pushed aside comes rushing back.

That's what happened to me.

For me to...

to expect Hae to forgive me...

is asking for too much, isn't it?

Yes, well...

If he's going to hate me anyway,

I might as well take it while doing everything I can for him.

If you're going to do it, you must be tough and see it through.

Don't give up until the very end.

- You can do it! - You can do it.

Maybe I should have used preserved flowers.

I mean, fresh flowers eventually wilt.

"To all the distinguished guests who have joined us today..."

No, wait.

Maybe I should've used lily of the valley?

If it's a simple ceremony, the bouquet should be simple.

"Today's ceremony will be held without an officiant."

Oh, no.

No. It should be...

"Thank you all for taking the time to be here."

You don't even have me on your mind.

Sung Je Yeon, honestly...

"The star of the show."

Let's give a warm round of applause as we welcome the bride.

Okay, and now, the groom will make his entrance.

Please, welcome the groom.

Hey.

Here I am making this bouquet, and you're right here next to me,

writing all that.

You can't blame me for getting ideas.

The groom is supposed to enter first.

You're getting me all mixed up.

The bride is the star of the show.

Even at a time like this,

you can still focus.

I guess that's how you got into Seoul National University.

Focus.

Stop it.

Go back to focusing.

Just stay still.

Hey, stop it.

Stop.

Don't.

Hey, I said stop!

You really have a knack for getting attention.

You mean you didn't want me to?

Just tell me, and I'll do it.

- You mean it? - But...

what's this business card?

Is this from when you moved the chairs?

If you're not going to kiss me, then just drop it.

Fine.

Whatever.

Se said she wants to meet.

She was asking about the publication rights.

If you're okay with it,

it would be better than selling to a scam artist.

The director's a much better option.

Besides, she was always well-known for content development.

When are you going to meet her?

I was thinking sometime soon.

But thanks to you, now I'm having second thoughts.

Suit yourself.

Sung Je Yeon.

Sung Je Yeon.

You are so infuriating.

You're ridiculous now that we're dating.

What's so ridiculous?

What's so ridiculous?

- Hold on. Who is it? - I don't know.

Didn't you say your sister wouldn't be home till late?

I told her to stay out late with that jerk.

Stay here.

What? You're here?

Why do you just show up without even calling...

and let yourself in like that?

You think I wanted to come? Mom sent a package for you.

Here. Eat up and get lost. This goes in the fridge.

Hello.

Goodness. I'm so sorry, I was right behind you.

Hey, this is Nu Ri's. I'll put them...

- over here. - What?

What is this?

What is this?

How dare you point your finger? You'd better put that hand down.

I said, what is this?

After all the years you two haven't seen each other...

Gosh, fate is really something.

It works out so easily.

"Easily?"

We confessed our feelings a total of four times,

and she only agreed after turning me down three times.

Does that sound easy to you?

Oh, like the story of the three visits?

Hey, even Liu Bei only visited Zhuge Liang three times.

Really? That happened to Zhuge Liang?

He sounds like a stand-up guy.

Just go on in after her.

You know she likes it.

Give me a minute.

Seok Joo, do you want a tangerine?

You can have Hae's share too.

So, how have you been?

Is the restaurant still pretty slow?

Don't you guys have team dinners at your company?

We always welcome large parties.

Sure.

As if that's something to brag about.

Spilling our embarrassing story to Kim Seok Joo.

Am I less than Zhuge Liang or something?

No, it's just...

It's because Seok Joo made it sound so weird.

It's not like we got together easily.

You know we didn't.

I can't stay here, I'm so embarrassed.

So then...

How do I get out of here without making it weird?

Wait, hold on.

Should we pretend to have a fight?

But then Geon No would worry.

Let's just say something urgent came up for me.

Why should you leave? They should be the ones to go.

They probably don't know we can hear them.

Gosh. He's crazy about her.

Something urgent just came up.

I think I should get going now.

I'll see you around.

Hey, aren't we rescheduling our driving practice?

I really have to pass this time. My mom found out.

Hey, that's because you...

You're making it sound like it's my fault you failed your test.

Figure it out yourself.

Sung Je Yeon.

Will you be okay getting home alone?

Yes, of course.

- Okay. - I'm heading out.

See you.

Bye.

You heard all of that?

Loud and clear.

Didn't you want us to hear it?

I want to be alone.

Everybody, get out.

I was leaving anyway. This is ridiculous.

Hae.

Can I have one of these supplements?

No, you can't. You have nutritional overload.

I may not look it, but I'm running on fumes.

I said no!

What? Is it really that good?

Knock yourself out.

Does Seok Joo still not know?

It's not good news. Why go telling everyone?

It'll just scare him.

So he can find out on his own, just like I did?

The way you leave your pills around, he's going to find out soon.

I meant to take it earlier, but I forgot.

I need to go to the doctor's too.

Maybe it'd be better if I just went with Seok Joo?

Good grief.

It's been a while!

Long time no see.

- How have you been? - Good.

Hey, sorry to bother you on your time off.

It's the audition for "World Made of Ash 3."

Oh, it's fine. You're here on a weekend, too.

Is it an audition for high schoolers?

Yes. Sang Yeop from your team.

Since they're young, I need him to follow them.

Here's the audition script and...

Got it.

Okay, I'll book a practice room then.

I have to make a good tape to send over.

Gosh, you're a lifesaver.

How've you been?

You're glowing. The time off must've done you good.

Gosh. I guess it shows?

Well, I have good reason to.

Hey, come back to work already. You're making me jealous. Here.

Okay.

Oh, right.

Did you hear about "Kongjwi and Patjwi?"

Apparently, things are a mess over there.

The actress playing Patjwi suddenly dropped out.

Oh, no. Aren't they already filming?

They're in a mad scramble to find a replacement.

We don't have any actors who'd be a good fit.

Hey, could I have the script? You have it, right?

The female lead is a third-generation chaebol.

But at the start of the show, she falls so madly in love...

that she throws it all away.

She could just go back and inherit it all anyway.

I'm sure part of why he likes her is because she's rich.

The number of chaebol characters is a reflection of our society's...

Here we go with the social critique.

I'm not allowed to criticize it?

Gosh, let's just order some food.

Tae Rin, salad for you?

I don't care anymore.

Chicken feet.

With extra glass noodles.

Rice balls. No, on second thought.

We have to make fried rice in the sauce...

Wait, hold on a second.

Oh, this...

I actually made this at home and brought it in.

What? Gi Ppeum, you can cook?

Oh, no. I just enjoy it.

And Tae Rin, this one is for you.

I made it low-calorie.

Thank you, Gi Ppeum.

Looks so delicious.

This one's for everyone.

- Amazing. - Oh, that's a relief.

I wish our manuscript submissions were this good.

I'm sure something that stands out will come along eventually.

Eventually?

Thank you for the food, Gi Ppeum. This is really delicious.

Gosh, it's freezing.

What?

I finally caught up with you.

What is it? Why are you...

You're the solicitor the security guard mentioned.

Gosh. That security guard.

After giving him three coffees, he calls me a solicitor?

You've come here three times?

Today was my third.

The first day, I was just loitering and got chewed out.

So I explained the situation,

and he even gave me some snacks.

Then why didn't you just come inside?

You know everyone in there anyway.

That's exactly why I couldn't.

I'm...

I'm part of your personal life.

Can I get your number?

I came because I wanted to ask you in person.

So you've been doing this for days?

Weren't you cold?

Of course, it was freezing.

So when are you free?

I'll check my schedule and let you know.

Do you need a ride?

No, I still have some work to finish.

I have to head back to the office.

I'll get going.

What was that?

He's kind of cute.

Oh, right.

Hey, you've heard of Kim Anmin Books, right?

If you have the CEO's contact information...

They went bankrupt?

Prison?

Oh, so does that mean their publishing rights are void?

What's the exact book you want to republish?

- Goodness. - I'll see what I can find out.

Actually, a production company is adapting it into a film,

so they've probably already handled the rights.

Yes, I'll figure it out on my own.

Okay.

(Resignation)

I know this just goes to the HR department.

But still...

I wanted to see you...

and give you this letter I wrote myself.

Oh, I got this for you on my trip.

You went on a trip and felt like buying me a gift?

Don't you hate me?

No.

During the past six years at my first job,

There were more good times than bad.

And that includes you.

I would've been hurt if you'd just submitted this to HR and left.

I'll make sure to wrap up the rest of the auditions.

Je Yeon.

I was very fond of you.

I know.

I hope you won't let yourself be so lonely.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Who's going to train me now?

I emailed an updated manual to the team.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

Here. These are for you.

Please take good care of her.

- Please have some of these... - Wait, are you Hae's father?

- I'm sorry, who are you? - Oh, my apologies.

Yes, I'm the CEO's...

better half. No, wait.

- I'm her husband. - I see.

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Oh, that's all right.

There are more people inside, right?

Hello.

- Oh, you're her friend. - Yes.

It's been a long time.

How have you been?

Here, have some of these pastries.

Gosh, thank you.

What are you doing here?

What do you think you're doing? Who let you in?

I just told them I was your husband.

Your secretary sent me right up.

Oh, honestly!

You're even more beautiful when you're at work.

Honey!

How can you be this beautiful?

- You're even more... - Let's go inside. Now.

- What? - Get over here!

But I was just greeting...

All right, keep up the great work!

Go team!

Oh, just a second.

I was supposed to give this to them.

I can't tell if this is cute or just plain crazy.

You're the publisher who was meant to come by this afternoon?

Well, I couldn't show up empty-handed.

So I made a bit of an effort.

Honey, this is delicious. Here, have one.

So, why are you here, Mr. Publisher?

Oh, well...

Should we maybe sit down?

It's just that...

I heard the original novel for your movie is out of print.

I came here today because my company would like to republish it.

You mean, your son's novel.

If it's republished when it hits theaters,

the cross-promotion would be great. There's no downside.

But is he even interested in republishing it?

I'm going to prepare a backup plan first,

and then I'll try to meet with him.

But I feared you'd be uncomfortable, so I wanted to ask you first.

Why would I be uncomfortable? It's just business.

I just hope...

you can persuade the author.

I came up with all these other pitches just to persuade you.

That's why I brought all these snacks and everything.

That actually had the opposite effect.

Let's not do that again.

Oh, right.

I haven't even passed out the letters I wrote.

I'm just going to step out for a...

Just keep these to yourself.

Don't hand them out. Please.

But I was up all night writing...

Honey.

Oh, Honey.

Oh, Honey...

Gosh. What's with all the studying?

So how'd your practical exam go?

Did it go well?

How should I know? The judges are the ones who decide.

What are you looking for?

Found it.

I'm going to give your mom an old photo of you.

To show her how you've grown up.

Seriously.

So cute.

You were so adorable.

Stop it.

Any idea where she is now?

Knock it off.

No, seriously, I haven't seen her around lately.

- Seriously, where did she go? - I told you to stop!

- Nu Ri! - I told you to knock it off!

- What's your problem? - Nu Ri, where'd you go?

Nu Ri!

What? I didn't push you that hard.

Don't be so dramatic.

What is it?

Are you really hurt?

Hae.

What's wrong?

What?

Who are you?

Excuse me.

Have you happened to see Nu Ri?

She looks like this.

Seriously.

Don't talk to me for a whole week.

What's with you?

Excuse me. Have you seen her?

Nu Ri, you need to come home now!

Call me when you're done. I'll come pick you up.

- Hey, Nu Ri. - Yes?

Here.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Oh, you're here. - Hello.

- Where's Sang Yeop? - He's in traffic, so he'll be late.

Okay, then. As I mentioned in the group chat,

you'll all be partnering up with each other today.

And you'll each get an hour for individual practice.

Any questions?

Are you quitting the company?

Yes.

This is the last thing I have to do here.

I'll set you up with the audition schedules, so don't worry.

Okay, for now, let's get to practice.

Yes, it's me.

What are you doing the day after tomorrow?

Why?

I'm not feeling too well, so I have to go to the doctor.

I was hoping you could come with me.

Aren't you a little old to need a chaperone?

Are you going under anesthesia?

I can't drive you anyway, you know that.

If I needed a driver, I wouldn't have called you, would I?

Come on, just do this for me.

But I have plans that day.

What time's your appointment?

I'll work around your schedule.

I'll text you. Thanks.

Yes.

Unbelievable.

("Kongjwi and Patjwi")

Instead of a rose, how about I put you in the vase?

All blood-red?

- This is so good. - Who do you think you are?

I'm just going to...

If you don't want to lose to him, you've got to...

Director, when are you available?

There's something I'd like to discuss with you.

Hey.

Can I...

stay over with my mom tonight?

I just want to talk with her a little longer.

Yes, sure.

Do you need a ride?

She said she drove.

Alright.

Get something good to eat with your mom.

I'll make sure to eat well, too.

What are you doing? Go on, she must be waiting.

- Okay. - You have a good meal.

"After all that trouble to sell it, I even had to process a refund."

"If anyone has the right to be angry over a speck of dust, it's me."

- She's going to get the role. - "Why is she the one complaining?"

"I can't believe you said that. I swear, I could just..."

Who is it?

Delivery. You ordered the chicken feet, right?

What? I didn't order any...

Sunwoo Hae?

What?

It's a delivery.

Wait, no...

Why are you here all of a sudden? How did you even get here?

Well...

Wait.

Gosh.

So this is what your place looks like.

Seriously, why did you just show up without saying anything?

You can't just show up like this.

So, you ordered the chicken feet, right?

Since it's my first time here, I was wondering what to get you.

Right, you can always use toilet paper.

Thanks.

I mean it.

But really, why are you here all of a sudden?

Because I missed you.

Hey, stop it. You're making my heart race.

But I have to finish reviewing this.

I won't take up much of your time. I just...

wanted to see your face before I headed home.

- Perfect. - What?

This just got delivered today.

I noticed you didn't have one when I was at your place last time.

It's a must-have for modern life.

Take it with you since you're here.

What is it?

- A robot vacuum? - Yes.

Hey, this is so expensive...

No, it's fine. I got a really good deal on it.

I can just clean myself.

Seriously, you need to return this.

Really?

- I mean it. - But this is...

They say it's super convenient.

Seriously, Sung Je Yeon.

Oh, right.

I bought this for you.

- What is it? - Here.

What is this?

Oh, my gosh, what is this?

- It's so pretty. - A ladle rest.

I got it for a great price, 50 dollars.

What? This was 50 dollars?

Hey, you're the one who needs to return something, okay?

Don't be ridiculous.

Hold on, I just have to take this call.

Yes, hello?

Yes, I was just watching it.

Let me finish reviewing this, and then we can video call.

Okay.

Anyway, it's not much, but please have a seat.

Can I get you some coffee or something?

No, I'm okay.

You get back to work. I'll get going.

Yes?

Well...

When's your doctor's appointment?

Do you want me to go with you?

I've got plenty of time.

Doesn't look like it.

Don't worry.

Seok Joo already said he'd go with me.

Well, then...

How about we meet up after your appointment?

I'll treat you to something good.

Yes, with the money I get from returning this.

In that case...

You remember that place I said had amazing food?

Back when I was loading trucks.

Sounds good.

Okay, I'm really leaving now.

Bye.

Don't go.

Hello.

- Hello. - What?

Oh, it's just you, Gi Ppeum?

The other two are on a smoke break right now.

- Have a seat. - Okay.

- You're here. - Yes.

You're looking good.

You think so?

I guess I'm pretty happy these days.

I wonder why you're so happy, and I think I know why.

Oh, please.

Oh, hold on. I just got a text.

Forget the driving practice.

I'm just going to give you that stock tip I promised and be done.

Let's meet up after work.

Deal.

Who was that? Kim Seok Joo?

Yes. I've got a debt to collect.

You need to stop paying attention to him.

How can I ignore one of my fans?

- He said he's your fan? - Yes!

He was so shy, even when they were just taking a picture.

Okay, enough about Kim Seok Joo.

So, you heard the actress playing Patjwi dropped out, right?

That role...

Couldn't Tae Rin do it?

What do you think, Director?

Actually, their team reached out yesterday.

They called to ask about Mo Tae Rin's availability.

With Kwon Do Eun and Director Han, it's too good a project to pass up.

It's a great project, so I wanted Tae Rin to do it too.

Goodness.

Well, look at that. We finally agree on something.

But joining a project mid-shoot at this stage...

is a lot of pressure on my actor.

But what if I say...

I still want to do it?

What would that mean?

Well...

Let's go.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

I couldn't stop thinking about it, either.

If we meet them and they decide I'm not a good fit,

then there's nothing we can do about it.

Let's go see them.

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

Let's go.

(Wanmi Jokbal)

Seriously, why insist on meeting for something you could've texted?

There's a reason I want to meet in person.

This is good.

If you're going to eat, eat well.

Hey, watch and learn.

You put it on top, see?

Then you take this...

and dip it.

You dip it in the soybean powder.

When you know how to do something,

you always have to show off and ruin it.

Like with your driving.

So good.

Goodness grief.

Do you think I'd do well in the entertainment industry?

You?

Don't even think about it.

What? Are you serious?

If you're being serious, then...

Forget it.

I mean, nothing in life is easy,

but you don't have the stomach for it.

All you've ever done is study.

Come on, just stick to your numbers.

Do you think my mom would let me?

I shouldn't have bailed that day.

Hey.

Just give me one move.

I don't think one move is going to do it.

Then how many, exactly?

Geon No, I'm here!

Oh, hi.

What brings you here?

I was craving Geon No's food.

I see.

I don't know when I'll get another chance.

I'm going to Australia.

"Australia?"

- What? - Don't ask.

I already bought my ticket, so don't try to stop me.

Goodbye, Korea!

Wait, no. Were you serious about leaving?

- Really? - Please don't go!

Please don't go.

Oh, no.

You spilled everything.

Geon No, what's gotten into you? You're being dramatic.

It's not like we saw each other all that often.

But you came by for rice wine a few times.

I was actually really proud and happy about it.

Exactly, stay and drink with us. Where do you think you're going?

You don't even speak English.

Hey!

Do you want me to give you the bookstore?

You can just go and clean it once in a while.

I'm not getting rid of it. It was my grandma's dying wish.

No.

Goodness.

Look at you, pouting again. Hae.

Come visit Australia with Geon No.

I'll be a master surfer by then.

- Geon No. - Yes?

You knocked that over on purpose, didn't you?

Let's start over.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Are you sure you can make it home on your own?

You had a lot of that rice wine earlier.

Gosh, you reek.

Come on, I'll walk you home.

Oh, come on, really!

It's just right up ahead.

Hey.

You kept telling me to clean the bookstore,

so while I was...

You wrote this.

What am I supposed to do when I miss you?

It's just so far away.

We can just video call.

Come on, stop. You're being so cheesy.

I'm leaving.

Hey.

Let me walk you home.

Hey!

(Yeonjung University Hospital)

How have you been feeling lately?

Do you have any abnormal sensations or dizziness?

They've been happening a little more often lately.

Have you been taking your medication regularly?

- Yes. - And you haven't had...

- any vomiting after taking it? - No.

There's a clinical trial that's about to start.

It's not in the country.

Your case is exceptionally rare,

and while a complete cure might not be possible,

we may be able to ease the severity of your symptoms.

Hey.

Hey, Seok Joo.

Hey.

Look, instead of me trying to explain it,

I thought it best if you heard it directly from the doctor.

You're shocked, aren't you?

Of course, I am.

Does Nu Ri know you're sick?

Nu Ri has her college entrance exams coming up.

It would just get in the way of her studying.

Goodness.

The disease only started progressing recently.

For a long time now, I think I knew this day would come.

I just...

didn't want you to be too shocked if something happened to me.

You think knowing means I won't be shocked?

It just means I'm shocked now instead of later.

No, but you...

Do you know why I liked you so much?

For me,

it's because you made my life a little more complicated.

It's because you accepted me for who I am.

But now...

It's your life that's getting complicated.

There was a time when it was simple, too.

Thanks to you.

You should go.

I don't want you to see me fall apart.

You're really leaving?

I said go.

The person you are trying to reach is unavailable...

Are you sure you gave me the right address?

This is a hospital.

Are you crying?

What do you want me to do?

I've been there, so I know.

Not just rushing in and asking why they're crying...

or trying to comfort them.

Sometimes, they just want to be left alone.

I'm just going to do my own thing.

It's so cold out, you're going to turn into an icicle.

It's so cold.

Gosh, it's freezing.

Do you...

Do you drink?

Do you eat chicken feet?

Yes, I guess.

Seriously? These things?

You've arrived at your destination.

Route guidance is finished.

- Is this it? - Yes.

The GPS says it is.

It's not like they just remodeled, right?

Maybe it closed down?

Well, the food wasn't that great anyway.

- I thought you said it was good. - I take it back.

- What did they serve again? - Korean home-style food.

What? That sounds amazing!

How many side dishes were there? What was the main course?

Calm down, let's just go inside.

You must be hungry.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

I ordered us some ice cream, too.

Of course, you did. Good call.

Hey, by the way...

How'd you get the time off? It's a weekday.

Yes, aside from prepping for an audition, I'm pretty free.

I see.

Aren't you curious why I have so much free time?

Of course, I am.

When it comes to you, I want to know everything.

I...

I quit my job.

What?

Don't worry, I left on good terms.

Now, I'm worried.

How am I supposed to feed us?

You eat so much.

Just don't let me starve. I love a good bowl of rice.

Of all the times,

for that restaurant to go out of business...

They had great rice there.

I thought if I quit,

I'd feel, I don't know...

Like I'd be lost again like I was before.

But somehow...

It's just this feeling...

I think...

You look relieved.

Yes.

Yes.

- I think that's it. - Yes.

I'm not sure where being unemployed is going to lead me.

But...

I have you.

It's just that...

when you have a landmark,

it makes for a pretty good guide.

I'm the landmark?

No, you're the Bulguksa Temple.

How is that supposed to guide you? You need someone on my level.

Wait. Hang on a second.

What? Who is it?

Sang Yeop.

What a great kid.

That's great to hear.

It's nothing.

"Je Yeon. Thanks for everything."

"I'll make sure to pass the audition."

"See you then. You got this too, Je Yeon!"

Seriously, does "You got this" really need a heart emoji?

He still hasn't done his military service?

He has to do one more project first.

And it would be perfect if that was "World Made of Ash 3"

Can the author even have a say in the casting?

- No. - I should've put it in my contract.

Don't text him back.

If you text back, when he's on some long march in the army,

all he'll be thinking about is you. Just don't do it.

What? Would that be so bad?

It's not okay with me.

- He's just a kid. - Absolutely not.

What? It's just purely business.

Fine. I'll do it right here in front of you.

Here. "Great job, Sang Yeop."

Whatever. I'm not looking.

What's taking our order so long?

I'm going to go check on it.

Finish up with that by the time I get back.

Yes, sir.

And one more thing.

No long paragraphs.

Keep it short and simple.

Goodness.

Where did the long march come from?

Thank you.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

There.

What's wrong? Are you dizzy?

Yes.

I think my blood sugar is low.

Here, you should eat some of this first.

I'm just going to go wash my face.

I can't tell if my blood sugar is low or if I'm just sleepy.

- I'll be fine after I wash my face. - Wait.

Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?

Where? To the men's room?

Yes.

I've wanted to see one since I was a kid.

Please, just stay here.

And don't wait for me right outside either.

I'll be right back.

Looks like the restroom is under construction.

I'll have to take the long way around.

Maybe this isn't the right way.

Excuse me.

How many restrooms are there here?

There's one on every floor. And they don't have a passcode.

Are any of them under construction?

No, they're all working just fine.

Thank you.

Of course. Thank you.

You're back?

So...

Don't get mad,

just calm down and hear me out.

There's a really good explanation.

Okay.

This place is just so big,

and I've never been here before.

I was completely lost.

I told you I should've gone with you.

You have a terrible sense of direction, don't you?

Yes, I do.

From now on, I guess I'll have to just do what you say.

Except for coming to the men's room with me.

I won't.

I'm not curious anymore.

It's snowing.

- Oh, you're right. - Hey, it's snowing.

So it is.

Looks like the first snow of the season.

I guess so.

Honey, it's snowing.

You should look out the window instead of at those papers.

It's snowing.

Do you think it'll stick?

If it does, we should build a snowman.

Sure.

The whole world is going to turn white.

- Thank you. - Enjoy. Thanks.

- Have a good one! - You too. Thanks.

Come on, time to eat.

Gi Ppeum.

Aren't you hungry?

Didn't you say you'd finish that today?

After I eat.

Oh, right. I'll finish it after I eat.

- I got it. - Okay?

Here, you can eat while you read.

I packed a perfectly balanced lunch for you.

Just thinking about Tae Rin finally starting her project,

I'm so excited.

You think I can't get mad just because you're being nice?

I'm not like that.

Gosh, it's snowing.

Maybe watching the snow will cheer you up.

Just for ten minutes.

I'm not religious,

but who do you think makes it snow?

I'd just like to thank them.

Gosh.

Hey, that looks great.

One, two, three!

How did you finish the whole plate by yourself?

It's a single serving.

It was gone in just a few bites.

Is there anything you want to eat?

If you see something you like, read it out.

Fish cake soup.

That's it?

I was hoping you'd be hungrier.

"Assorted skewers, 12 dollars."

"Rolled omelet, 8 dollars."

"Additional charge for cheese."

"Pressed pork, chicken feet..."

You just had chicken feet.

Seriously, you're hilarious.

Then why'd you make me read it?

You're smiling.

Looks like you're in a better mood.

Since you're feeling better, you should pick something to eat.

This has nothing to do with my mood.

No matter what, I wanted to hold your hand today.

Are we ready for this?

- Of course not. - Then what's this?

Cheers!

The snow's going to stick today.

What if the roads get icy?

That's true.

Puff.

I remember.

You used to do that just as hard before too...

to make it heal faster.

You have to blow like this.

It's all in the breath, not your voice.

We're being so silly.

What do you mean?

I'm not the silly one.

That's usually what the silly ones say, you know.

Whatever.

I think I'm starting to get it now.

What?

When you're too happy,

it can be scary, too.

No matter when or where,

or how we met,

I would never have turned back.

I could never have...

turned back these feelings.

(My Youth)

What are we going to do?

Going abroad is his best option.

So you have to go far away to get better?

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Hae...

Even if it means I die, I want to stay here,

next to my loved ones.

I don't want to part ways with Hae.

What if something goes wrong while he's there?

(To Sung Je Yeon)

Some moments will feel...

And maybe forever will feel...

like this very moment.
