Let's work together.

I'll give you the best possible offer.

As you said, the diner looks humble,
with barely any customers.

But still, I am the one
in charge of the kitchen at that diner.

This place will be fine without me.

But the diner wouldn't even be open
if I'm not there.

Lady Eun Sil, you see,
has a knack for making inedible food.

You must care about her a lot.

She may put on a tough front

but deep down, she's quite delicate.

That's precisely why I'm saying this.

Right now, she must be feeling

incredibly anxious about money.

From what I know, she can barely cover
her mother's hospital bills.

Indeed.

Money is all she can think about these days.

If I accept your offer

will you provide enough to cover
the hospital expenses?

Of course, haven't I promised you
the best possible offer?

It's an offer I never once considered,
so I can't help but feel conflicted.

Then start considering it now.

Have a seat.

By the way, what should I call you?

Please call me Gyosan.

That's what Gwansong used to call me.

The one you said I resemble?

Yes.

Strangely enough, this moment feels like
something I've seen before.

Gwansong once made me
a special offer as well.

That was the last time I saw him.

What was he like?

The man who resembles me.

He was entirely devoted to his work

a man completely different
from a wanderer like me.

Yet, despite our differences,
he always looked out for me

I'll always be grateful for that.

That's intriguing.

I'd like to hear more.

There's still some drink left

so why not stay for a few more?

The night is long, after all.

What a pitiful display.

Confess now, and this will all end swiftly.

How can we confess to a crime
we never committed?

You conspired treason against the throne.

Plotted to slay the king

and sought to enthrone Prince Yeongchang.

Treason?

That's absurd.

We are mere illegitimate sons.

You, of all people, should know

we are utterly powerless
to attempt such a thing.

Denying it won't make the crime vanish.

You are only prolonging your agony.

You're far more foolish than I thought.

Your Excellency!

Please summon Gyosan.

He will prove our innocence!

I would like to grant your request…

But unfortunately.

I have no means to summon the dead.

Gyosan is dead?

How… Why?!

Unbelievable.

Even now, you choose to worry about others?

Tonight, the moon's radiance is at its peak

I drink, reluctant to let
the sight go to waste.

The wanderer's heart grows wistful.

Ancient souls must have gazed upon
this same moon.

Yet, who among them still remains?

That's a truly beautiful poem.

And it fits the mood of tonight perfectly.

It feels a little embarrassing
to say this myself

but when it comes to literary talent

this Transcendent Genius
stands second to none.

You truly are a man of many talents.

The more I learn about you,
the more I want us to work together.

My goodness...

The less time you spend hesitating, the better.

Especially if you consider Eun Sil

who's struggling to make
ends meet as we speak.

I...

Sorry, it's my alarm.

Time has flown by.

Alarm?

It's music that wakes you up.

I wake up to this music every day at 4 AM.

Wait, so dawn has already broken?

Yes, we stayed up all night.

I didn't even notice the time passing.

I better get going now.

As for your offer,

I will give it careful thought and decide soon.

Good, I will be waiting for good news.

Oh, and…

About that music called "alarm".

It feels strangely familiar.

Never mind.

If I had heard it before, there's no way
a Transcendent Genius like me would forget.

It must be the drinks confusing me.

Then, I'll take my leave.

Mr. Homeless?

What took you so long to get back?

Why aren't you resting upstairs?

How could I possibly sleep
when you left without a word?

Wait.

You stayed out all night.

Where have you been?

Let's work together.

I'll give you the best possible offer.

I was meeting a friend.

A friend?

You came from the past, with no home or ties,
and now you have a friend?

Oh.

- Hang on! You even had drinks.
- Enough!

You can't condemn a man
for enjoying drinks with a friend.

Must you pry so much?

So you waltzed out in the middle of work

while I was left painting
and setting up all alone

and now you stroll in the next day,
acting all high and mighty?

Well, you're the one who started it

so it's only right you finish it.

Excuse me?

I'm exhausted.

I should rest my eyes even for a bit.

Perhaps among all places in the future,
there is a reason I ended up here.

And that reason is most likely tied to Gwansong.

Otherwise...

Are you content to stay in that shabby diner
for the rest of your days?

Are you content to live like this
for the rest of your days?

Could it really be a mere coincidence
that someone so much like him exists here?

If I work with him,
perhaps I'll find the answer.

And in doing so, I may uncover
why I ended up here...

and how I can return.

One thing is certain, I'll gain far more
than I would by staying at the diner.

Gain what?

Gain what more than staying at the diner?

I heard everything!

Don't talk to someone who's asleep.

Who talks back in their sleep?

I'm talking in my sleep, that's all.

He's acting suspicious.

[Heo's Diner]
[Serving meals with sincerity]

Mister, doesn't something look different?

Mister!

What did you say?

I asked if you noticed any changes!

The walls are cleaner,
and so are the tables.

What else?

What else is there?

Take a close look.

Mister.

- Mister!
- Yes, yes?

Why are you so distracted?

Did you ask me if I noticed something?

Forget it, let's get ready to open.

I thought today would be busy…

We caught the culprit, cleared our name

and even gave the place a full makeover.

I did everything I could,
so why aren't there any customers?

Young lady, sit down for a moment.

Business is still slow

so instead of the both of us waiting
for customers who never come…

Wouldn't it be better if at least one of us
goes out and earns some money?

You said you were desperate for money.

I was already thinking of picking up
a night shift somewhere.

Though it won't be much.

Instead of that, how about I work
at another restaurant?

What do you mean?

Are you saying you're quitting?

Is this related to your overnight trip?

That's why you've been acting so weird!

I knew something was off!

I was offered a good deal last night.

If I go work for them,
they'll pay enough to cover all my concerns.

So,

what's your thought?

Do you want to go?

- There aren't any customers…
- Don't use that as an excuse

I'm asking what you want.

I want to work there.

I feel like the answers
I'm searching for are there.

Where would that be?

Who's offering you so much?

Actually...

The one who made me that offer last night…

Ah, I'm starving.

So hungry I'm getting dizzy.

You did say I could come anytime, right?

Then why does it always feel so tense here?

Mi Sol, you're here.

Yeah, I'm here.

But I feel like I shouldn't be.

That's not true. Take a seat.

What's going on?

Did you two fight again?

Are you eating well, Mae Chang?

If I were, I wouldn't be here.

I tried eating again after your porridge…

Wait, that's Jung Mi Sol, right?

I heard she binge-vomits.

Is she here to eat?

Guess the rumors were true.

I failed every time.

But what's worse is the people
who film and upload videos of me.

They get off on other people's misery.

My faith in humanity is at an all-time low.

What do you feel like eating, Mae Chang?

Since you're here, have as much as you want.

Something quick, please.

I'm seriously starving.

When I wasn't eating at all,
I didn't feel it.

But ever since I had your porridge,
I've been getting hungry all the time.

All right, wait just a moment.

I wish someone would film me
actually eating for once.

How is this place so empty?

It just happened somehow.

What is this diner's problem, anyway?

I mean, the food's good, the atmosphere is…

decent.

And it's affordable.

I really don't know
what more I can do at this point.

You might just be our last customer.

Here's goldongban.

I mean, bibimbap.

We prepared quite a lot,
expecting more customers.

I'm glad you're here to eat some, at least.

Why are you two so down today?

You're not the only ones struggling here

I'm flopping too!

So let's not sit here
acting like it's the end of the world.

You're right.

It's not like I was ever a success anyway.

Let's do that!

Yeah, exactly.

By the way, is this soy sauce?

Where's the gochujang?

Try it first.
If you don't like it, I'll switch it.

It's amazing.

Is this the same soy sauce I know?

I simmered it with clams and vegetables
for a deeper flavor.

Take your time eating, no need to rush.

I need to show people how well I can eat.

Eun Sil.

Film me!

Me?

Just act like you're not the owner

like you just happened to walk in for a meal

and stumbled upon
the lovely Jung Mi Sol enjoying her food.

Something like that.

Why should I?

At least one of us should make it.

We can't all go down together.

Make sure it shows clearly up to here.

Okay.

Here you go.

You do know I'm single-handedly
raising your sales, right?

I should be your VIP.

A VIP at a diner?

What was that?

Nothing.

Don't fight when I'm gone.

I hope you two run this business peacefully.

Will do. Get home safe.

Okay, bye.

See you.

We should head inside.

Mr. Homeless.

I've been thinking.

You truly are gifted.

I knew your talent was something
anyone would want.

And I've always felt bad for not giving you

the treatment you deserved.

But now that there's a place
willing to do that.

I'm truly happy for you.

This works out well for all of us.

I'll cover the madam's hospital bills.

Why would you do that?

You should be careful.

You can't go around giving money
to someone you barely know.

Do this for the wrong person,
and you'll be taken advantage of.

I don't need money.

I only considered another job
because I needed to confirm something.

That's all there is to it.

- So, take my earnings for your mother's hospital...
- I'll handle my mom's hospital bills myself

by selling this diner.

That should cover the cost.

But you said you'd keep the place
until she woke up.

Life doesn't go as planned.

Come to think of it,

I don't think it ever went as planned.

Enough talking.

I wish you all the best.

Young lady.

Thank you for everything.

Young lady!

She held onto this place all this time, but why...

Wait.

This is...

I took care of the sign while I was out.

I picked a name for the restaurant.

What did you name it?

You'll see for yourself later.

[Heo's Diner]

So, she knew my name.

[Dorae]

However,

I must find a way to return.

I know you were always tied to the diner.

But Mom, we don't have a single photo
of us on a trip together.

Back then, all I wanted was
to escape this place.

Mom, I'm here.

I've decided...

to close the diner.

Selling meals for 5,000 won
barely makes any money

and it's just too exhausting.

I guess this is just who I am.

I've never been able to see
anything through.

I keep getting fired from jobs,
one after another...

I'm sorry, Mom.

I wanted to hold out until you came back...

but I don't even know why I'm like this.

Miss.

Hello.

A little while ago,
your mother's nephew came to visit.

- My mom's nephew?
- Yes.

He was very persistent,
so I let him in just for a moment

but I wanted to let you know.

I see.

He seemed really concerned about her

and asked a lot of questions about her

but I didn't say anything
due to medical privacy laws.

Okay, thank you.

Who could it be?

[Dorae]

Eun Sil.

I'm sorry for dropping by unannounced.

No need to apologize.

Have a seat.

So, what brings you here?

I know this is shameless of me,

but I came to beg you to buy our diner.

You haven't forgotten, have you?

You once said you'd buy it at a good price.

Are you closing the diner?

Yes.

I should've never run a restaurant
when I can't even cook.

Am I too late?

No, not at all.

I told you to come anytime, didn't I?

Let's move forward right away.

Right away?

Didn't you already made up your mind?

Yes, I did.

I just didn't think it'd happen this fast...

You know what?

Let's just get it done and dusted.

Do I sign here?

Yes.

Right here.

Stop right there!

How did you know I was here?

Are you here to bother the chef again?

I told you to stop that!

I'm sorry,

but this will be the last time.

Mr. Homeless is leaving our diner
for another place.

So, this won't happen again.

I need an explanation, young lady.

I'm handing over the diner to Chef Lee.

I've already made up my mind.

What should we do with this?

It's fine. I'll get you a new one right away.

Are you truly willing to sell the place
your mother built with blood and sweat?

Stay out of this, mister.

The diner is my business to handle.

Excuse me, it's not just a diner.

It's Heo's Diner.

And since the diner bears my name
and I run the kitchen as suksu.

[Suksu: Cook]
I have a say in this.

Let's go.

What do you think you're doing?!

Let go of her arm.

Gwansong, I'm very sorry.

I cannot stand by
and watch this deal happen.

You said you were leaving for a better place,
so why are you doing this?

No.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying at Heo's Diner.

Even if you stay, there are no customers.

There's no hope!

Whether we make it or break it,
let's at least see it through to the end.

Isn't that what you want too?

No, I've had enough.

I'm sick and tired of it now.

I don't want to do it anymore.

If that's true,

why did you cry your heart out
in front of your mother?

How do you know that...

Let's go.

If you don't want to regret it later,
let's give it everything we've got now.

I know this is what you want.

Eun Sil!

Young lady!

Wait a moment.

Gyosan, don't you still have
unfinished business with me?

I regretfully decline your offer.

It pains me because
I genuinely wanted to work alongside you

to get to know you better, to grow closer.

Then, why?

Even a beast repays kindness when it's saved.

Turning my back at a time like this

wouldn't be something a person should do.

Even if it means delaying my own path,

this is something worth staying for.

All because of a single meal?

Yes, it was a single meal.

But it saved me.

Even if I can't work with you...

if you ever need my cooking,
I will always be willing to help.

Who do you think you are,
offering to help me?

I was the one offering to help you.

I don't need your cooking.

I can make better food with my eyes closed.

Well, of course.

You are the finest suksu, after all.

Forgive my audacity.

You'll regret turning down my offer

- for the rest...
- "For the rest of your life?"

This may be your first time saying it

but I've heard it before.

What do you mean?

So please, don't resent me for this.

I still need your help.

Seriously...

The more I learn about you,
the stranger you become.

You went to see my mom at the hospital?

Yes, I visited her.

So, you heard everything I told her?

It wasn't intentional, but yes, I did.

This is so embarrassing.

I never meant to make her cry.

I'm to blame for everything.

I assure you, I'll never be
the reason for her tears again.

Rest assured.

I heard you pretended to be my mom's nephew

to ask the nurse about her condition.

I sneaked inside, avoiding the nurses.

Because I learned my lesson last time.

Then, who was it?

Let's not waste time
and prepare for business.

Business? Who are we serving?

We need customers for that.

Looks like another day
of twiddling our thumbs.

Again!

Did I not say words have power?

Now then, repeat after me.

Heo's Diner, let's make it big!

No, why would I do such a thing?

Don't you want Heo's Diner to succeed?

Heo's Diner, let's make it big.

No! Louder!

Heo's Diner, let's make it big!

Heo's Diner, let's make it big!

Heo's Diner, let's go!

Heo's Diner, let's go!

Excuse me...

Is this the place Jung Mi Sol visited?

Yes, it is.

This is the place!

No way!

See? I told you.

Please take a seat.

Welcome.

Here are two pork kimchi stews.

Enjoy.

This looks amazing.

- How do you know Jung Mi Sol?
- Sorry?

You asked if this was the place she visited.

You haven't seen her bibimbap video?

She probably doesn't know it went viral.

When did she even get it edited
and uploaded everywhere?

One million views in a day?

Heo's Diner in Seonbuk-dong,
approved by Jung Mi Sol.

You can find it on the search engine.

I've been there, and it was amazing.

Heo's Diner is the best!

Heo's Diner serves new menus daily.
5,000 won per serving.

Is this price real?

Owner of Heo's Diner coming through.

- Welcome.
- Do you have a table for two?

Yes.

Who's that?

Hello?

Your VIP is here,
and you're just letting me stand around?

Come and sit over here.

You must've been working today.

No?

I was at home.

But your outfit...

This is just my neighborhood look.

A fancy face with a not-so-fancy palate.

This is what drives people wild.

Feel free to take pictures.

Please upload them.

Anyway, thanks.

Looks like the place is blowing up
thanks to you.

I know, right?

This type of celebrity marketing
comes with a price.

But since we were all flopping together,
I'll do it for free.

Yeah, yeah.

From now on, you're the VVIP of Heo's Diner.

Mae Chang!

Here.

I added extra meat to your stew, Mae Chang.

You're the best!

How did you know I was craving meat?

Thank you.

What a shame...
If only he was as famous as Lee Hyuk.

I could've skyrocketed his fame
with a dating scandal.

Who would he even date?

Who else? Me, obviously.

He's single, right?

Yeah.

Okay, then I call dibs!

Eun Sil, can you get me some water?

Water is self-serve! Self-serve!

What?

You said I was the VVIP!

The dignitary hopes to introduce
state guests to traditional Korean flavors.

She asked, "Can I eat this?"

- Seriously?
- No, you can't!

What's that about?

Didn't I tell you not to interrupt me
while I'm developing a recipe?

We're sorry.

If you ever need my cooking,
I will always be willing to help.

How dare he...

Well, what do we have here?

Aren't you Chef Lee?

Long time no see.

What brings you here?

Are you here to harm me again?

Let me be clear,
if you try anything like last time…

I'll make sure you don't get to
wander around so freely.

Relax, I'm not here to start trouble.
I just came to eat.

Don't be so paranoid.

Jung Mi Sol, you're banned
from ever stepping foot in my restaurant.

Who said I wanted to?

I only eat at Heo's Diner.

At least their food doesn't sit
like a rock in my stomach.

Why couldn't they have put
another restaurant across from Heo's Diner?

Anyway, as a VIP,
I'll be visiting Heo's Diner often.

Let's do our best to avoid each other.

I'd rather not ruin my appetite.

Welcome.

Please have a seat over here.

Excuse me? Can we change seats?

I'm sorry, but there are
no other seats available.

Then, send this old man out.

How are we supposed to eat like this?

I'm sorry, but we can't ask a customer
to leave for that reason.

If you feel that way,
you're free to leave instead.

Would you like to cancel your order?

Unbelievable.

Come on, let's go.

Would you like a set?

All right, one set coming right up!

Don't worry about it.

Do I look like a shameless old man
who came to eat for free?

That's not what I meant...

Sir!

You should take your change.

Then, take care.

How is your mother doing?

Do you know my mom?

I used to come here to eat
from time to time.

She was a truly kind person…

It's such a shame what happened to her.

Thank you.

She hasn't gotten any better.

Why are you giving this to me?

It's going to rain, a heavy one.

Excuse me...

I heard that the patient in the ICU
is in critical condition.

Could you give me an update
on her current status?

I'm just really anxious…

One moment, please.

Which patient's guardian are you?

This one right here

I'm her nephew.

We've taken all the necessary measures

but we'll need to monitor
the situation over time.

Okay, thank you.

Neither alive nor dead.

She's unconscious and unresponsive.

Still breathing just as she was
at the time of the accident.

But her independent breathing is weakening.

How long do they think she has?

Who knows?

They don't really share
that kind of information.

Hospital staff are strict.

Even if you're the police,
they'll tell you to bring a warrant.

This is all I managed to find out.

I wish she'd just disappear already.

Come on, you shouldn't say such a thing.

What did you just say?

It's nothing.

I know I'm running errands for him,

but I'm a cop. He should mind what he says.

[Unconscious, unresponsive, same condition,
independent breathing weakening.]

Getting treated like a fool
by some snot-nosed kid…

How much longer
do I have to put up with this?

Hey there.

One moment.

I was trying to slip by quietly.

Forget that.

Go buy a set menu from the diner nearby.

Why...

I just noticed earlier that they were closed.

Seems like they shut down
as soon as they run out of ingredients.

I see. You can go.

[Huge bonus gifts]
[Maximum subsidy support]

I have never seen colors like these before.

They are truly mesmerizing.

What kind of color is this?

- Would you like to see it?
- Yes, please.

- This one, too!
- This one as well?

I want to see it.

- This is...
- Mister.

Here, come over here.

Choose one from here.

Right here.

With this, you can freeze moments in time,
just like Mae Chang did?

Yes, you can film videos.

Pick a fight.

Yes, leave comments.

Can I also track down someone?

Yes, you can access the Internet.

Splendid.

Then, how about this...

They're all pretty much the same.

We'll take this one.

Got it.

Yes, I'm Bong Eun Sil

and I can hear you clearly.

Can you still hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you really hear me?

This is unbelievable!

How does it sound so clear from afar?

We can talk without the phone now.

Oh, right!

It sounds so real, I nearly forgot!

Wherever you go,
make sure you keep it with you.

Every time you disappear, my heart drops.

Because you fear never seeing me again?

Because I fear the diner won't open.

Understood.
I'll keep it in my grasp at all times.

But why are you carrying that around?

Someone said it might rain today.

Rain?

The sky is clear.

You're right.

Even the weather forecast
said nothing about rain…

But for some reason,
I felt like I should bring it.

Just what on earth is the problem?

Excuse me, sir.

It's time to prepare for dinner service.

Should I tell them to wait a little longer?

No.

I'll just step out for a moment.
Make sure everything's ready.

Anyone here?

Eun Sil?

Gyosan?

This is truly fascinating.

How can something so small...

Can this also play music called an "alarm?"

How do you even know about alarms?

Yeah, you can set alarms and ringtones too.

What would you like?

I liked Gwansong's music.

It sounded strangely familiar.

Chef Lee's?

Then it's probably not a default tone
He must have saved it manually.

If you don't know the title,
I can't set it for you.

Is that so?

What a shame.

It looks like it's going to rain.

Let's hurry.

Wow, it really is raining.

I got goosebumps.

How did that old man know?

I despise rainy days.

Let's hurry.

Really?

I like the rain.

Try to listen.
Doesn't it sound just like music?

You're sentimental for no reason.

Let's hurry.

It's coming down harder than I thought.

That was so sudden…

Oh, chef!

You must be freezing in the rain.

Where are you headed?

Oh, well, I was...

Where did you get this umbrella?

You should take this.

We can just run inside.

No, uh...

Where did you get this?

Some old man gave it to me.

Why do you ask?

Mister, we should head inside.

Try to listen.

Doesn't it sound just like music?

It's music that wakes you up.

I wake up to this music every day at 4 AM.

I knew I heard it before,
but I couldn't remember why…

The rain must have drowned it out.

Wake up!

Madam!

Help! Is no one around?

It was unmistakably...

in the hour of the tiger
