Coffee Prince

It's almost bedtime. Why are you eating now?

I just feel like some ice-cream.

Unni, get some for me.

Only at such times will you call me �unni', you sly fox!

Hang up!

Hello.

Hi.

How have you been doing?

I sent you some messages. Why didn't you reply?

I'm sorry.

About what?

That day...

You were startled, right?

That has been bothering me a little...

How about we just forget about it?

My memory is very good.

Then...

Just pretend you forgot.

Why must I forget it?

So that we can be friends again.

Friends?

You want to be friends with me?

Yes.

You listen well when I pour out my heart,

You often treat me to meals,

Am I being too selfish about this?

No.

Rather than calling it for my own sake and being indecisive,

It's better to not leave any room for hanging on, like what you're doing.

In my life, I'm getting another good friend.

Feels good.

Time to feed you. Your stomach's begging for food.

I wasn't hungry just now.

Maybe when I see you, my appetite grows.

There's never been a day like this when I don't feel hungry.

This should get recorded into Go Eun Chan's history book forever.

My manager,

He told me not to work there anymore.

And he said it very angrily.

Totally terrifying.

And I thought we could get along well.

But I really don't know what he's thinking.

I'm sorry.

It's already my habit to tell you these things.

I think I like my manager.

No, I like him very much.

Very surprised, right?

No.

I knew it long ago.

I could sense that Miss Y has fallen for with Mr. X.

But isn't the situation getting a little complicated?

Mr. X still sees Miss Y as a guy all this while.

Aren't you going to confess to him?

Rather than get dumped by him for being a girl,

It's better to continue getting on with him as a guy.

Let's get something to eat.

We'll celebrate us being friends again. My treat.

What would you like?

Hamburger?

Pizza?

Whatever.

Delicious stuff.

Hyung!

Hyung,

What on earth is happening to you?

Come in.

Are you moving?

Sit.

Where?

Have you eaten?

Shall I shut up and not ask anything?

You want some?

Hyung, after you left that day, Eun Chan became listless and wan.

That's it. You'd better shut up.

Hyung.

Hyung.

I...

I like that guy,

Go Eun Chan.

My Chan?

Hyung, don't I like Eun Chan too?

Anyhow, it's him who got me in this state.

I'm completely messed up.

Eun Chan knows about this too?

How would he know?

Don't worry.

I'll try to sort out my feelings quickly.

Why must it...?

Eat quickly. Why are you holding on to your cell phone?

Dumb Hwang is not calling me.

That's great. You got your wish.

Aigoo! See how you're wolfing it down! What's up?

Only when I'm full then I'll have energy to work.

Eat slowly.

Hyung!

With more and more customers, shouldn't we add more tables?

Why isn't he answering his cell phone?

Why isn't the manager coming to work?

Is he sick?

Business is getting better too. Did we do anything wrong?

Hey! Go Eun Chan!

Your hyung hasn't come for a few days, aren't you worried?

Anyway, in a month's time he's going to America, isn't he?

Give me that.

Whether he comes or not, we still have to work hard, right?

What? Since he's leaving?

Hey! He cares so much for you yet you're saying since he's leaving...

Not too long ago, you were still calling him "hyung" now and again, how did you become another person overnight?

So what can I do?

Cry and yell, begging him to come to work?

How can you speak like this?

Do you have such bad upbringing?

What's wrong with me?

Oh! Manager!

Oh, you're here!

It must have been busy.

I'm sorry.

Just missing for three days, why did you have to leave with such fanfare?

I thought you were running away for good.

Is the business better?

Sit down for some tea.

Why? Something to say to me?

If I don't, then we can't have tea together? Sit.

You look a little thin.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Are you feeling better?

The three-month deadline is almost up, I want to finish what I started.

This is grandmother's dream, I want to show her my success.

This guy has matured.

Um... it's time to expand the coffee menu,

According to the season change.

Put your heart at ease and get along with Eun Chan.

It's so awkward.

It seems I've crossed my line.

With you around, I feel more steady.

Those tables at the entrance, bring them in here.

The entrance is blocked and that's bad.

Yes.

Are you sick?

Your face...

Do you want something to eat?

How about some cake?

You haven't eaten breakfast yet, right?

I'm alright.

It hurts, right?

The more you give, the more he clams up.

It's really cute.

What's wrong?

He seems to have gone through a lot of pain.

I think so too.

That's bad for me.

If he found out I broke some plates, he's sure to blow his top!

So you're going back to New York?

He kept emphasizing that there are other artists keen on the job,

So I'm a little frustrated,

And I almost told him to go ahead and use another artist.

In my view, there's no other artist better than you.

DK must know this very well too. So you won't want to miss this opportunity,

He's a man with high standards.

That's surprising! I didn't expect you to praise him.

Have you decided?

Are you going?

I've made an appointment to see him later.

Which is the most famous Korean restaurant in Seoul?

He said we have to meet there.

That's how he is...

So are you going or not?

One.

I go.

Two.

I wait.

Three.

I don't go or wait.

We break up. Which number will it be?

You're slow in answering.

Give me some time.

How long?

One week?

Ten days?

Looks like you need more time than that.

Is it so difficult just to look at him?

What is?

It's all over your face.

You're so tense you can't even look in that direction.

If you're going to be like this then you should just run away.

What will be solved if I ran away?

If you use this back on me next time, you're dead.

Manager, manager... scooter.

How about a ride on my scooter?

No, thanks.

How is your grandmother doing nowadays?

Mind your own business.

And stop loitering around me in future.

Keep a safe distance of two meters.

If you're not happy with that, then roll up your mat and leave.

You really know how to torture others...

Your Ice Americano is done and here's the apple.

Thank you.

Hyung!

What would you like?

One Ice Mocha.

Ice Mocha?

Hey, Go Eun Chan.

What do you think about being gay?

No particular views on that.

Then, what about your views on Han Kyul?

Nowadays society has changed,

If you like him then you like him...

What am I saying?

I have to go pee.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Angel, Angel, Angel.

Missed calls, all from Angel.

It's totally full with Angel.

It seems she just realized your worth now.

Shall I return her call today?

What if she really becomes unhappy? What'll I do?

Do you want to get Eun Sae or not?

Eun Sae... I can get her?

Seeing you two, my heart's bursting with joy.

- Hey, follow me. - Where are we going?

Yes, Coffee Prince.

This is the life insurance company. Do you do delivery?

Delivery?

This is no coffee-on-wheels, delivering everywhere.

Yes, we do.

Thirty coffees and twenty waffles?

When must it be delivered?

I'll do the delivery, it's embarrassing to have the manager himself go.

What's wrong with doing delivery?

You've changed. For someone who's been so proud all his life.

Hey, Chan!

Hurry, my Chan! Hurry!

Oh, what's wrong with my stomach?

You do the delivery.

What's wrong with me?

If you order more than twenty coffees, we do delivery. Please call us anytime.

We'll be sure to call you.

Thank you.

Oh, what is that smell?

Wow! It looks delicious.

There's coffee...

And waffles too.

And I was going on my diet.

Smells great.

This looks delicious.

I just want to eat it now.

Manager!

You've changed my view about you.

If we do delivery, then our business will multiply.

Close proximity prohibited. Is talking prohibited too?

Hey!

Get off.

Get off!

Really!

Get off. Get off now.

Shove off.

Why is close proximity prohibited?

I told you to shove off.

Then just run over me.

I really want to do that too.

If I did as I wished, you would have been run down more than ten times already.

Why did you toy with me?

You said you liked me.

And we've sworn to be brothers too.

You really want me to be your hyung?

You like that?

I don't like it either.

You think I do?

Didn't you say that if I was a girl, you wouldn't like me?

Didn't you say you like me being a guy?

You're going off to America in a month's time.

What do you expect me to do?

When we went to the beach, I was so happy.

I was doing fine on my own.

But you got me into this state.

You once said you needed to sort out your feelings and that I should leave you alone.

Now I'll borrow your line.

Leave me alone.

Get in the car.

You're not going back to the shop?

It's only a month at the most.

It'll be over in a month.

I'm going to hang on till then and you should to.

You'll be fine as soon as you leave.

Don't you bother about who you leave behind?

Fine.

For the remaining month, let's try to get along.

Shut up.

One more word from you, see if I'll hit you.

Why?!

I asked him what he was doing and he replied "Why?"!

This guy! He's dead.

Eun Sae,

I had a big fight with the manager today.

I questioned him about why he was so fickle.

Why he toyed with me?

But,

He said I'm making things hard on him.

Why am I so stupid?

Thinking about it,

He's the one that's been wronged.

What gives me the right to cry or yell?

What should I do? Because of me, he's hurting.

No matter how much more you ponder over it, a love-idiot like you won't come up with any good idea.

Just tell him everything.

He likes you too, doesn't he?

Didn't you tell me not to say it?

At that time I didn't know you'd like him so much.

If I did tell him, I might never ever see him again.

I'm afraid of how angry he'll be that I lied to him.

It might not be the right thing to do,

But since he's going to America in a month anyway,

Just one more month.

Just...

I'll just...

With just a few practices and you're going to perform? Isn't that too reckless?

That's why I need your help.

Han Yoo Ju says you've cheated on her, what's that about?

You really have someone else?

What if I said I do?

Will you snatch Yoo Ju away?

I should just run off with her,

To an uninhabited island.

You wish to die?

It's funny, right?

I think it's funny, too.

Hey! Are you guys joking around?

Can't you even follow the rhythm and the tune?

You! You're just hitting any old how.

We should just give up.

The way we are now, they sure will be stoning us.

Yes, the performance is in two days. This is truly a problem.

This really helps relieve stress.

Let's try again.

Since it's a performance, let's try out best.

Let's start!

How noisy.

Are you chasing birds?

Look who's here!

Have you been good?

You look very energetic.

You!

When an elder is sick, you should come pay a visit.

Why didn't you show your manners?

If I went, it'll only push your blood pressure up.

The ambience is quite good.

She's feeling much better now.

Now, she's up to going to the office too.

That's great.

I thought two lazy bums won't be able to do much,

It seems you do have some ability after all.

Manager Choi is doing a good job.

I thought he'll just fool around for three months, then run away.

Have you ever seen me pour in time and effort on anything that's useless?

Don't tell him what I told you.

That guy is obnoxious, if he knew I praised him, he'll be lazy straightaway.

You're sure right about that.

Grandma!

Mom, you're here too?

This is not bad.

Is there a seat for me or not in this place?

Of course, there is. Sit over here.

Can you drink coffee?

Of course I can.

Grandma, sit here.

Mom, sit here.

Two coffees and a cake, right?

See that guy?

He looks small but it seems he can handle quite a lot.

He's the one we met at the hospital.

He seemed like a child outside but here, he's quite independent.

Hey!

How have you been?

Hello, grandmother.

Hello, mother.

You're earning your keep, right?

Of course, I'm working conscientiously.

You're really going to America?

Of course it's for real, how can I fake that?

I don't want you to go there.

Can you not go?

Aigoo! You're using the beauty strategy again.

An agreement has to be kept, right? Mom.

If only children would listen to their parents...

Bill here, please.

Yes.

Please wait for me.

Don't disregard your health because of work.

Do you get it, grandma?

Yes.

Be careful getting in.

I heard from your father.

You must have been sad, right, my son?

I would like to go on a trip with my son.

Find time to go with me.

Is that alright?

If I go with you, others will think that I'm a swallow*. (*Korean term for gigolo).

Go well, mom.

What are you doing? You're not a kid anymore.

Didn't you say you don't like me?

So now I'll pretend like I don't know you.

As a man, I don't like you but it doesn't mean don't like you as a younger brother.

I say, noonim,

No,

I don't want to be your younger brother.

I say, we've been neighbors for seven years,

Suddenly you say, let's date.

Does that make sense?

How embarrassing it is for me.

I've decided to go for matchmaking.

I've decided to give up on noonim.

Then just go matchmaking. No one is stopping you.

This is not how people should behave.

You're a man but you're so petty.

Go on!

Ah!

Why are you here?

We came for the performance, oppa.

Be careful what you say.

Don't worry, I already told them.

Right?

So, where is my Sun Ki oppa?

Good luck for your show.

Oppa, fighting!

Don't do anything overboard.

Let the rope down.

Oh, yes!

Wow!

You guys put in a lot of effort.

You're here?

Congrats!

Wow!

Where's Han Kyul?

Inside.

Chin Ha Rim!

Hi! Hyung, how are you?

[Coffee Prince Concert]

[Applause!]

Wow! It's beautiful.

[The Princes' Small Music Performance]

Hello everyone!

Thank you for coming to Coffee Prince on a hot summer day.

I'm the youngest amongst the Coffee Princes, I'm DJ Min Yeop.

Next, let me introduce you to the Coffee Princes.

Sick-of-everything Hong!

Totally-precious Han Kyul!

Uh-ra-ra Eun Chan!

Narcissistic Ha Rim!

Waffle Sun Ki!

Lastly,

The one that everyone loves, who is it?

DJ Min Yeop!

Thank you, everyone!

Right after this, the Coffee Prince Show is going to start.

Coffee Prince!

One! Two!

I love coffee, I love tea

I love the java jive and it loves me

Coffee and tea and the java and me

A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup

I love java, sweet and hot

Whoops! Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot

Shoot me the pot and I'll pour me a shot

A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup

Oh, slip me a slug from the wonderful mug

And I cut a rug till I'm snug in a jug

A slice of onion and a raw one... draw one.

Waiter, waiter, percolator

I love coffee, I love tea

I love the java jive and it loves me

Coffee and tea and the java and me

A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup

We should have made this place into a club.

Hey, come over, my Chan.

Min Yeop, you too.

It's good to be young.

Great.

What's this? I can't dance. Don't.

Don't!

Hyung, with me.

Like this?

Oh, I'm so tired.

Ahjussi, I have a present for you.

What?

What's this?

The first coffee beans roasted by me.

It might not taste good but it's quite meaningful.

Thanks for helping us with the show.

And something for Ssulja too.

Hey! This is chewing gum for dogs?

Ssulja will surely be thrilled.

How can I bear to drink this coffee?

I'm afraid you might get a stomach ache after drinking it.

I'm still not up to standard yet.

Anyway, thanks!

Hyung, why is it you seem to be treating her like a girl?

Go Eun Chan,

Do you like men?

You smile at me too, so you're like this to everyone?

Hyung, what do you think? When she's like this...

I like it.

You do?

Yes.

I, for one, think it's really nothing special.

Looking at you, I'm embarrassed to continue sitting here.

You two are like a couple.

Is there anyone for me?

Yes, there is.

Han Yoo Ju.

Hey! Hey!

I'm leaving now. I'm not feeling too well.

Hey! Eun Chan!

Why are you treating her like this?

I'll go take a look.

Ahjussi, you better go. Unni said she was coming.

It's alright.

The manager, he told me not to work at the shop anymore.

Hong ahjussi also told me it's better to give up.

But,

I don't want to give up my job there.

Because...

I need the money.

That's an excuse.

I love coffee too much...

That's an excuse too.

It's so warm and great and interesting,

I didn't know at the start

That I almost forgot that I'm in a lie.

You look into my eyes

Now I know I made a mistake.

But,

Why am I so anxious?

I'm always hoping he's there with me,

Always wishing he'd like only me,

Longing for him not to go to America.

Always wanted to ask you this

If you knew my heart

But what am I now?

I'm not a guy nor a girl,

I'm too scared to tell him.

Although I've never told you

Now I know

You feel the same like I do

Hesitating day by day

Sleepless

It hurts too much

Hold my hand

I won't ever let you go

I love you

Till the last moment of my life

Choi Han Kyul.

For everything, thanks!

To say thanks now is quite tiring too.

Everyday, that's all I say to you.

Hearing me say thanks again, you must be sick of it, right?

Good night.

I don't know why this is so,

Whether you're laughing or crying,

Just watching you brings me joy.

That's what I like.

Promise me one thing,

In front of me, just do what you want.

Your mood, your feelings,

Without hiding anything.

How's that?

Deal.

Deal and sign.

Go on.

Yes?

Where are you?

I'm on my way home.

Are you with Eun Chan?

Did you send her home?

Yes.

Is that so?

I'm with Han Kyul.

They like each other.

Han Kyul and Eun Chan.

They both like each other.

I really don't know what to say.

Shall I comfort you?

No.

I'm fine.

Alright.

I know.

I really feel like I've done you wrong.

Why do you feel that way?

I asked you over so that you could meet up with Han Seong. Why wouldn't you go see him?

Are the two of you avoiding each other?

I hope no one gets hurt,

But is that too much to ask for?

Your coffee's ready.

Thanks!

Oppa, last night's show was fantastic.

Thanks!

It seems the show is bringing results.

Han Seong ahjussi helped me a lot.

Are you very close to Han Seong?

Yes.

We meet often.

What do you do together?

Play with Ssulja, ride bikes, eat together.

We drink together too.

Isn't that dating?

You seem to be close with men especially.

Men don't like to walk like this.

So they like to walk backwards?

Walking barefoot on the grass,

And at the speed of the earth's revolution too, I don't like to walk like that.

Only for the sake of winning the lady that I'm willing to walk like this.

For you.

DK, I haven't quite...

In the New York house, the flowers are almost dying.

You go and save them.

You don't keep flowers, do you?

You said you didn't know how.

People do change.

If you don't believe me, go take a look yourself.

That's right, people do change.

Let's eat.

I'm hungry.

Ahjussi, who are you?

A chef.

How old are you?

Three years old.

Mom!

No Eul's here.

Mom, I'm back.

No Eul, you're back.

- Thank you, teacher. - Goodbye!

Did you have fun today? My son.

I took a call for delivery.

It's for tomorrow morning to be delivered by 7.30AM.

Where?

The securities firm at the junction.

Then, we have to be here real early.

I'll do it.

I've already told Sun Ki about it.

Every day passes like a year

Why is a guy's waist so tiny?

What's the use of such a tiny waist?

Staring idly at the slow wind blowing

I'll do it myself.

Like a habit, I'm walking this road again

Hyung!

Eun Chan hyung!

This...

When I suddenly turned, that familiar smell again

Look at this.

Tomorrow night, let's meet at 7pm. I'll be waiting.

I'll be waiting. From Eun Sae.

I'll be waiting.

Hyungnim!

For a while

Hyungnim!

For a while

Let me go! Let go!

Hey! Let me see too!

You said you'll be away for a while.

What is it? Let me see.

Manager, you want to see it too?

My angel is meeting me tomorrow night...

I said it only because I felt bad

Drink.

Yes.

You still like to surprise people,

Appearing so suddenly.

It's been fifteen years, right?

Those days we thought we'd never grow old but look at you now.

Did you tell mother that I'm back?

Han Kyul is doing well.

They're building a bridge in the Middle East.

Libya.

If I start work there, I'll be away there for couple years.

This scenery is not bad.

I heard you came to Seoul last year too.

Why didn't you contact me?

You miss Han Kyul, right?

The coffee's very fragrant.

Suits me just fine.

Really?

Is it really good?

I burnt it a bit so it might be too strong.

It seems you like strong coffee.

That's a relief.

Where's Sun Ki?

In the restroom.

Ahjussi, I'll call you back later.

Oh, Han Kyul's there?

Yes.

Alright. I'll call you again.

Your coffee is so fragrant. Get me one too.

Hey!

Who washed this cup?

That woman is really... Mistakes can't be avoided but she keeps complaining.

What's wrong?

She kept complaining about how we washed the cups.

I said sorry at least seven times.

It's still ringing in my ears.

Who washed this cup?

I don't know.

Could I have been the one?

You're on the phone the whole time that's why this isn't clean.

I'll do it again, I'm sorry.

You're always apologizing.

Hyung, stop it.

There are customers out there.

Go Eun Chan, you make it right.

I'll clean up the place before I leave tonight.

I'm sorry.

I've just got my documentation done.

I'm going back to New York with DK.

I think that job will be fun,

And I'm starting over with DK.

DK says he still likes me.

Looking back, I think I liked him too.

This is just me,

Now this, then that.

Who gives you the right to?

Don't go.

Thanks...

For saying that.

Like you said,

I wavered, no,

To be frank, I'm still wavering.

But please don't go.

I'll come around soon. What are you doing? Don't go.

You're not just wavering.

Han Seong, you're in love with her.

So foolish of you,

To not realize it when you've found a new love.

Suddenly I don't feel like talking anymore.

Everyone's worked hard.

Let's go eat together.

Eun Chan hyungnim!

He was distracted earlier so now he has to stay back to clean up the place.

If you guys dare try not being serious in your work too, you'll bear the consequences also.

Yes.

Hey! Give me a thump on my back.

That's one dollar.

Money-crazy!

Hyung, how could you talk like that when you like him.

My Chan has to suffer all by himself.

Yes. Even though Chan noonim is strong,

but doing it all by herself must be terrible.

Noonim?

Man! If only she was a girl...

Forget it. As long as they like each other, who cares whether he's a guy or girl.

Manager Hong, do you know something I don't?

You mean, there's someone who doesn't know?

They are good together.

You talk so easily about other people's...

Eun Chan is a girl.

So what's the problem?

Even if she's a guy, there's nothing wrong too.

Go Eun Chan is a girl?

Don't stick your hands into this.

Really?

Ah, well, this has to be a secret.

Oh you!

Get in! Get in!

Go Eun Chan!

Wake up from your stupor!

So mesmerized by a man that you can't even do your work,

All the books on coffee left unread, what on earth are you thinking?

What's wrong with this?

As an elder, you can't do this.

Han Kyul was in so much pain and you still hid it from him?

You guys can't be doing this too.

He has to cry over it.

You shouldn't interfere, just do what you're supposed to do.

Is it that serious?

I didn't even know that they're in love.

You guys are too much!

You don't bother whether he's dead or alive, you're laughing away, making noise.

Someone who was idling has fallen in love, what's so great about that?

Manager Choi asked for it himself.

Leave him alone.

When he can't take it no more, he'll give up.

It's because he can bear it that he continues.

Right?

Manager, you must have been torn in love before, how can you say...

To be torn in love is the happiest time of one's life,

Later on, he'll find this as his favorite time too.

When it doesn't concern you, you can say anything.

I can fully empathize with Go Eun Chan.

She's the parent of a struggling family, right?

For the sake of a job, she'll do anything.

Lying to everyone, do you think it's easy on her?

Then when she got the job, she should have made it known clearly.

Hyung,

Don't throw your temper, we...

You're the same as them,

Toying around with people.

Jerks!

Get it from him.

Hyung, hyung, hyung...

Forget it.

Let me go!

Hyung!

Open up!

Hey! Why is he shouting?

Hyung.

Hyung.

Hyung.

Hyungnim, hyungnim.

Why are you back here again?

I'm not destroying the mural,

I just feel that it's a little off so...

Just once...

I'll say this just once so listen up.

I like you.

Whether you're a man,

Or an alien...

I don't care anymore.

I tried getting rid of my feelings, but I couldn't...

So let's go, as far as we can go.

Let's give it a try.

Go Eun Chan,

Why do we both have to be guys?

Just like having an ice block in my heart, I feel heavy and cold.

Due to DK's schedule changes, the date has been brought forward.

I'll be leaving next week.

Do you really know me well?

Think about it carefully, there's no evidence to prove that he's a guy.

Have you seen Go Eun Chan's identity card?

Why didn't you tell me earlier that Go Eun Chan is a girl?

I was afraid that you wouldn't want me around anymore.

That I won't see you anymore.
