Original subtitles

[Episode 1]

Yes, sir. Hello.

Yes, hello.

I'm almost there. Yes, yes.

Hello.

How much are lisianthuses going for today?

- Is this lisianthus? - Yes.

- 7,000 won? - Yes.

Uncle, hi.

[Famished for Love]

There...

That's mine.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you. Take care.

Thank you, ma'am.

The Best Actor award goes to Sunwoo Hae for his work in "Beautiful Moonlight."

He's only 11. The youngest winner.

Sir, sit here.

Yes, I'm Sunwoo Hae.

Who's calling?

By chance, are you the child actor Sunwoo Hae?

No, no. Just a second.

Please listen to me for a moment, sir.

Let me talk to him.

Hello? I'm Director Jin So Rah...

He hung up.

He declined without even hearing about it.

- The person you are calling is not available. - He's not picking up.

Let's find him.

Let's at least get closer to the threshold of casting him.

This is an edit of the "Famished for Love" scene.

Please review.

[For Love, Director Jo]

Yes, Director Jo.

You can't send a scene edit two hours before the shoot.

Don't tell me you just sent it to us late again.

Your to-go salad is ready.

Okay, I'll see you on set. Yes.

Thank you.

Thanks.

It changed to white clothes in the new edit of the scene.

A man who keeps wearing white in front of a woman who's traumatized by white...

Is this a romance or a thriller? Thriller, right?

He'll keep going until he gets his fill.

You can't change people.

No. Don't mess it up.

Thank you.

He's so obnoxious.

I'm near the traffic light. Where are you?

I'm near the four-way intersection. Where do I pick you up?

Huh? I see you.

- Hey. - I'll across the street and hop in.

- Okay. - Hey, this, this. I got it.

Okay.

Oh, no! Are you okay?

He's about to dash away! Chase him!

- Are you okay? - Oh, no...

What do we do?

Get your phone.

- Hospital first. Yes, yes. - Hospital?

Are you okay?

Wait.

Thank you.

Great work.

- Tae Rin. - Yeah?

Go to the car first. Let me wrap up one thing before we go.

- Sure. - Okay.

Manager Yang.

Do you have a moment?

Hey! Are you crazy?

Who do you think you're hunting down, you psycho?

- Get out while I'm still using words. - What?

You just wait, you asshole.

Hey, what if you don't use words?

What will you do, you asshole?

I wish you'd follow traffic laws.

You little punk...

Did you just dodge?

Look at this punk. Fine...

Don't you dare dodge, you punk. Got it?

You punk... You...

Shit!

Sir.

Would you like to go to the police station with me

or would you like to go and apologize?

I'd like to do both together.

What do you mean by resolve amicably?

That's how you always get the short end of the stick.

It's going to be tough to get those liquors right away.

But can you just drive Seok Joo's car like this?

Does he know what you're up to?

That's none of your-

Anyway, open up the shop early today.

- Better make up for that liquor you lost. - You cheapskate.

You chased him because of the cost of liquor, didn't you?

Hey!

How dare you say such an obvious thing?

The wardrobe team prepared black clothes as written.

We need to follow the script.

The writer switched it to white clothes in the script.

This is the best sequence of the episode,

and all the main characters could shine in it.

But because of your actor who wants to look good,

we're about to ruin it all.

Gosh, you talk as if Mo Tae Rin is the main character.

She's just a side character.

Hey. Clothes that were black a month ago suddenly changed to white today.

In a continuous scene, at that.

Does it make sense that he's suddenly in white in the same scene?

I'm not the only one who thinks that's weird.

Did the writer get shot in the head?

- Hey! - What?

I need to go get curry because he's craving curry.

- And you're giving me shit, too? - Don't muddy the conversation.

We're not talking about curry right now.

Is the curry ready?

Yes, I'm on my way.

Je Yeon, before you said anything,

the assistant director and the script supervisor already yelled at me.

But what can I do? He was so insistent.

I'm dying here. Everyone is lashing out at me.

What am I supposed to do?

At least pretend to convince him.

I'm leaving.

I bet you could just bump his elbow and be done with the curry...

Never mind.

- Bye! - Bye.

I'm leaving.

Bump?

Please spill the curry...

Spill...

Head! Side!

Head! Side!

Curry!

Head!

On the clothes! Curry!

On the clothes! Curry!

Spill it! Spill it!

Spill! Curry! On the clothes!

On the clothes!

I love curry...

So yummy.

Curry, curry...

Hey.

- Yes? - I'm wearing white.

I'm sorry, Hyung.

Be careful.

Gosh, this...

You only have one set of white clothes...

I'm leaving.

See you, Sung Je Yeon.

Aren't you guys leaving?

Nam Jun Ho is wearing his original costume

because he doesn't have any spares.

He spilled curry on his clothes.

What?

Je Yeon, I'm stuck at a meeting, so I can't meet. [PD Jin So Rah]

Sorry.

You just got off work!

Don't you sleep?

It's 3 a.m.

Wow, you waited up this late?

That program by PD Yoo Jae Il...

Even if it's a one-off appearance,

could you please make it happen for me?

Apparently, the CEO even mentioned it today.

I wanted to get it done in advance...

Jae Il is busy looking for a novelist.

Maybe you could learn about that novelist.

He looks for the novelist every so often. He must love him.

What's that novelist's name?

Jin Mu Yeong.

Gosh, I was so shocked at how refreshing it was when I read it in college.

Got it.

Then, how about the pilot you're working on?

Isn't there anything for Tae Rin in it?

Will you act like this every quarter? Do I owe you something?

Do you know how it feels to desperately look for someone?

Who are you looking for?

I'll help you.

The only way to cast Mo Tae Rin is to get Sunwoo Hae.

The project that got killed last year.

You're still stuck on that?

Je Yeon, would you do some footwork and find Sunwoo Hae?

Then, I'll introduce you to Jae Il right away.

Really?

You mean it, right?

You're shopping for flowers?

I can't believe I'm so resentful about getting dumped at my age.

What?

Some days, you'd sob.

Some days, you'd curse him out.

And at the end, you missed him.

You still remember that?

Please forget it.

You hadn't even had a drink till you were 20.

And you were sobbing.

So intense.

What about Sunwoo Hae, out of the blue?

Is this about the project that got killed last year again?

No, no. We don't know that yet.

Someone uploaded a photo online.

I can't help but think it's him.

I feel weird going there to look for him.

I said a lot of mean stuff to him in high school.

He was hardworking, but I put him down.

Just pretend it's not you.

Just put on some makeup.

- Want to wear a mustache? - That won't work.

Should I just go check out his business?

So Rah can take care of the casting.

Let's say you went to see him. And it is Sunwoo Hae.

Do you think he'd agree to be on it? I wouldn't.

Not because of you.

You know what I'm talking about.

I'm sure he'll be hesitant after what happened when he was little.

And yet you put him down?

If he declines this time, it'll be because of you.

Me?

Don't act like you know me ever again!

Forever!

[Closed]

Is the business closed?

Excuse me.

♫ I feel nervous, but I don't know why ♫

♫ Faint butterflies in my stomach ♫

♫ That familiar voice from the memory ♫

♫ So beautiful ♫

♫ When I look at you blankly ♫

♫ Come closer ♫

Welcome.

I think I need to buy a potted plant.

I think you should buy it if you want to buy it.

Right?

Come on in.

♫ Pretending not to know and embrace ♫

♫ Like the bubbles that recede ♫

What? He didn't recognize me.

So, you're looking for a potted plant, right?

Well, something that's easy to take care of.

- Something that grows by itself. - Okay.

Sung Je Yeon.

You still want me to pretend I don't know you?

Oh...

Well, that's...

Is that a yes or a no?

It's good to see you.

Have you been well?

Well, you know Mo Tae Rin, don't you?

I'm her manager. I'm here because of casting matters.

- I don't know her. - Gosh...

How can you not know Tae Rin?

Sir?

You were super popular as the nation's favorite siblings on TV.

You even went to the same high school.

You must've been asked to approach me just for going to the same school.

A PD is looking for you regarding the sitcom you were in as a child actor.

Through Mo Tae Rin and Sunwoo Hae,

we lean into nostalgia of those days, and...

You can promote your shop by appearing on the show.

It'd be so nice to see grown-up versions of the nation's favorite siblings.

People are curious about how Sunwoo Hae grew up. They'd want to see you.

I can guess why you're hesitant.

But this is a decent project. At least, take a look-

And what's your guess?

How much would they pay me?

The pay.

I'm curious how much the offer is.

The way you're saying it is so...

They're not locking you up in a cage to film you.

The past is in the past.

I have no desire to be indebted to Mo Tae Rin to appear on TV.

You're asking me to put my life on exhibit

for the sake of strangers' nostalgia.

Gosh, I can see why you heard it that way.

But you're jumping to conclusions.

Looks like something has offended you.

Let's say that I'm too busy with my day job to say yes to that.

Are you acting like this...

because I put you down badly in high school?

I'm sorry if you were hurt.

- I apologize. - Did you...

ever put me down?

Geez, that little...

Just help me out once.

That's what classmates are for.

How's this potted plant?

Please.

No?

How are you getting home?

By car.

You don't have to pay me.

Since you came all this way for nothing.

Don't speak half-casually to me.

Did you want to see it, too?

How I've grown up?

I understand that you decline.

Goodbye.

Gosh, I should've acknowledged him off the bat.

- Hey. - I was such a pushover.

Can you hear me? Who are you talking to?

I thought about it,

and I don't think I was too harsh back in the day.

What are you talking about now? I'm so sleepy.

- I just met Sunwoo Hae. - What?

He won't do the show.

Hey! Behind my back...

I wanted to meet him myself!

Where did you meet him?

I don't want to give you his information when he clearly declined.

Sung Je Yeon.

Are you messing with me right now?

- He was so sure. - Where are you, Sung Je Yeon?

Wait, come on. Why are you yelling?

I'm the one who's been humiliated because of you.

I'm not angry at you. I'm just really upset.

[Unidentified Sanitation Worker]

What about dinner?

I have dinner plans.

You're here. Did the meeting go okay?

Are you reading the original? Is it good?

Jin Mu Yeong?

I heard PD Yu Jae Il is going crazy looking for him.

He's shouting it from the rooftops. [Unidentified Sanitation Worker by Jin Mu Yeong]

Yes, that's right.

I'd better do my homework so we have some shared topics.

But it feels familiar, and I don't even read novels.

Can't be that hard to find a novelist.

Yes, it's Kim Pil Du.

I checked with the publisher,

and it looks like he hides behind a proxy.

- What? - Aigoo, my heart...

Aigoo, I'm sorry.

Your heart is on the left.

Wait. I'm going home.

I need to check something.

I need to leave. Sorry.

[Handle with care! 3]

♫ Walking side by side in lockstep with you on this street ♫

♫ I still walk this street every day ♫

[From Sung Je Yeon to Sunwoo Hae]

♫ I felt like I was dreaming ♫

[Waegeum]

[To Sung Je Yeon, from Sunwoo Hae]

It was true...

Wait a minute...

What's this?

A wish bracelet.

I got it for you.

Why is he still wearing it?

One comped item...

A cactus.

♫ If I close my eyes and think of you ♫

♫ I feel like you'll suddenly appear ♫

♫ And feels like you'll walk toward me ♫

♫ I don't know what tomorrow will bring ♫

Coincidences always happen when you least expect them.

How come there are no previews in real life?

♫ Smiling silently back then ♫

Did you see the message board?

People are dying to know who read the first verse.

They love your voice.

Just one stone slipped out,

but everything crumbled.

His name had too much rain in it.

So, his fate was apparently meant to be chilly.

I hope your weather is all clear.

He laughed, saying his life was all rain.

But I don't remember his face so well.

The reason I borrowed his name for my garden

is to let him know that his life was all rain,

so it can get clear.

That's when I realized.

Whose voice is this?

Voice of the Day.

This show invites listeners and has them read books.

Voice of the Day...

I had forgotten I forgot about him...

I think it's him...

Yes.

I'm getting a call.

Yes. I'll see you later. Okay.

Hello?

I'm in the lobby, and I need entry authorization.

- Where is this? - I said I'm in the lobby.

I meant, who are you?

Bang Han Na sent flowers.

Okay, I'll be right down.

- Hey. - What?

The Executive Director must've sent flowers for your first radio show. I'll go get it.

- I'll head in first. - Yeah, it's that way.

If you exist in another world,

I hope you understand my wish.

I hope it's clear there.

That was my small wish and faith.

That was "Voice of the Day" on "Beautiful Morning."

We'll listen to music and come back for part 4.

The guest will be actress Mo Tae Rin.

Good?

Tae Rin, why are you crying?

Are you nervous because this is your first time on the radio?

I'm reminded of a time...

I don't know.

It's okay.

Great work.

- Sunbae. - Yeah?

I'm headed home.

You're mocking me.

Aren't you?

Get out.

Call me again if your listener cancels again.

If you buy me a drink.

Hello.

Hello...

I'll get going.

Thank you.

Did you cry?

Yes.

Why are you crying?

Why are you smiling?

Because you're pretty.

Oh, I understand.

I laughed because it was funny this time.

You don't know who I am?

Who doesn't know Mo Tae Rin?

Yes, this is Kim Seok Joo.

It was Kim Seok Joo.

Is he saying he knows or doesn't know me?

Hello.

We spoke on the phone.

You can just hand it to me.

Is this a coincidence?

Why are you speaking to me so casually?

Are you pretending you don't know me again?

Because I declined the casting offer?

Nope.

- Why are you smiling? - It's good to see you.

Let me take a photo of you with the flowers.

Why a photo?

I need a proof of delivery for Bang Han Na. Taking it now.

You still like him?

Are you crazy?

- I'd better take it again. - No, no.

I'll let her know it was received.

Please delete the photo of him and me.

Thank you.

What's the deal between you two?

What brings you here? Flower delivery?

What else? You think I'm here to debut?

If they'd debut you again, would you do it?

You stayed in touch with Sung Je Yeon after graduation?

Or, did she study abroad like you?

She couldn't after her family went bankrupt.

Should I send a flower basket when you debut?

Buy the flower basket from my shop.

Where are you going?

To debut?

Fighting!

- The cactus. - The cactus?

What about the cactus?

The one I gave you the other day.

Did you kill it already?

I thought you had changed your mind about coming on the show.

Anything else to discuss?

Well...

You have my number from the call. Call me.

- Why would I? - Well, if there's an issue with the cactus

or if you're hungry.

I was wondering what you were doing...

What is this?

Water in a paper cup.

You water it that much once a month.

Use your words. That's faster.

- Doodling when you're all grown-up... - To stretch time.

What are you trying to pull?

Ho.

Ho?

Ho?

Ho.

Ho?

So I get better?

She still does that?

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Sunbae.

Somebody smiled at me earlier.

Why did he smile? Was it really because I'm pretty?

Hey.

Huh?

How could anyone not smile looking at you unless they're dead?

Wait a moment.

Did you cry? Your eyes look red.

I teared up, thinking about the old days.

What thoughts?

Thoughts of wanting to die.

What?

I'm joking.

- You have a lot on your mind lately, huh? - Nope.

This is no good. Go hiking with me tomorrow.

- I don't want to. - Go, Ms. Mo Tae Rin.

- I don't want to. - Come, Ms. Mo Tae Rin.

Je Yeon, I'm stuck at a meeting, so I can't meet. [Assistant Director Park Ah Reum]

It's okay, Assistant Director.

Call me anytime.

Hello, PD Yu Jae Il.

I'm actress Mo Tae Rin's manager.

Sure.

I'm your hoobae.

Business at Seoul National University.

I was a communications major.

I've never met a manager who went to SNU.

I hear you like Jin Mu Yeong's novels.

Might be because we were classmates.

I was glad to hear that.

We went to the same high school.

Are you close? You keep in touch?

Yes, well...

That's how it's worked out.

Could you connect us?

It'd feel much friendlier and approachable if a classmate reached out

rather than a stranger.

Right, right.

Are we friendly?

Approachable?

Why are you smiling?

It's good to see you.

Maybe it feels like that...

Leave if you're done.

How long will you meditate?

Master, I'd better shamelessly use that.

I'm turning off the lights.

I'll build up my accomplishments and up my salary...

He really turned off the lights.

How's your condition?

I'll be fine.

Breathe in the air.

Gosh, it's so hot.

Thank you.

I'm glad we came out.

Right?

What's Jin Mu Yeong? ["Unidentified Sanitation Worker" by Jin Mu Yeong]

The meeting I'm setting up with PD Yu Jae Il.

Sounds like Yu Jae Il failed to cast Sunwoo Hae.

I summarized all the novels.

Commit them to memory.

And bring it up naturally in a meeting later.

You need shared conversation topics.

PD Yu would never use me.

Even the most popular talents line up for him.

Even a one-off appearance on PD Yu Jae Il's show would be amazing.

A regular spot would be even better.

Better not get my hopes up.

Let's get down and go eat something tasty.

Sure.

Looks tasty.

Is it okay to order makgeolli?

Makgeolli is all carbs.

So sweet and tasty.

Order away! Let's have it.

I won't drink it.

I won't dip in shrimp sauce, load up on greens, and eat mostly meat.

Tae Rin, you don't want to do variety, do you?

I'm just not confident about showing my real self.

- Plus, I'm not fun. - You're so fun.

Don't worry.

Variety is the best way to raise public awareness of you.

I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to do.

You're like my mom.

Forcing me to do stuff under the guise that it's for me.

I've never had a daughter like you.

You're so mean, Mom.

What remains is delivering Jin Mu Yeong to PD Yu.

What if you cried in front of Jin Mu Yeong?

People did everything for me when I cried as a little girl.

Stop joking around.

Do you think it'd work even at 34 years old?

I think...

it'd work, in a different way.

Is there a way?

The customer can't answer the call right now.

Why are they not picking up?

[Sunwoo Hae]

Gosh, you scared me.

What's up? Why are you here?

I guess you're still not high enough to know about unofficial personnel matters.

What were you again? An underling?

Team Leader.

- When did you start coming around? - Today.

Working two jobs since the economy is down.

Whatever.

You're not inheriting our company, are you?

It's not a management training, right?

Why don't you consider that I might be here to debut?

Hilarious. Are you a comic?

Hello, CEO.

Why is Seok Joo here?

It's time for him to learn the ropes of the company.

If my son becomes your boss, will you quit, Team Leader Sung?

Please don't go anywhere, ma'am.

Oh, what about PD Yu? Did you mention your school connection?

You went to SNU.

Well, I did drop out, to be exact.

- I mentioned it, though. - Bringing up SNU for that...

Take care.

[PD Yu Jae Il]

Can I get my hopes up? A regular on a Yu Jae Il variety show?

I'll try my best to make it happen.

Yes, PD.

It's Yu Jae Il.

Do you have a date on the books?

My daughter starts exam prep next week.

I see your daughter is a fan, too.

Oh, your daughter is the fan...

Yes, I see.

I'll set a date and call you. Okay.

What if he doesn't pick up any calls unless it makes him money?

I'll go in person if he doesn't pick up.

[Spring Flower / Flower shop Young Men]

Why does he keep putting up the sign wrong?

- You called? - Yeah.

They want to put some flowers inside, too.

Oh, hello.

You can speak to him.

- Good luck. - Bye.

You want to put real flowers inside the cafe?

Yes.

If you want to use flowers, how about using preserved ones?

It'll feel like real flowers.

What are preserved flowers?

Gosh, look at him selling.

That guy...

Just a moment. Let me show you.

We most typically use hydrangea or roses.

Take a look.

[Sung Je Yeon]

- Just a moment. I'm sorry. - Okay.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Gosh, you finally picked up.

Where are you?

You told me to call, yet you won't pick up.

That's wrong, no?

Why? Something wrong with your cactus?

Doesn't seem like you're here about that.

- Are you hungry? - Who do you think I am, sir?

As someone who comes looking for me for a reason.

[To Sung Je Yeon, from Sunwoo Hae]

Jin Mu Yeong.

How could I have forgotten this?

You kept that?

I paid for it, so I couldn't throw it out.

And the bookstore I bought it from is gone.

That bookstore is gone?

The publisher went bankrupt.

- Okay? - And it's out of print.

And?

What's your point?

That's the kind of book this is.

But there's still a fan. A high schooler.

I'm so proud, and my heart goes out to her.

Won't you meet her once?

A high schooler?

Should I beg in tears?

Yes. Go for it.

That was just a matter of speech.

It's just a fan. Not even an appearance request.

Could you?

Sure, I'll meet her.

This easily?

Want me to make it harder?

I love how easy that was.

Good day.

Let me help. Move these?

They're heavy.

I'm strong. Really.

Plus, you hurt your hand.

Sure.

Lift at my count of three.

One, two...

Why did you touch me?

Touch what?

I mean...

you said lift at a count of three, but you lifted at two...

I got spooked.

Why did you lift at two?

I'll do it.

Why is your ear so red?

- Do you have a fever? - Don't.

What did I do?

- When you- - Don't do it.

Let me do it. Go and rest.

So much spilled.

I know.

So, you'll act like you know me out in the open now?

You're so...

You sure speak your mind.

So honest.

You used to be like that, if I remember correctly.

Whoa, it's nice.

I so wanted to live neatly organized.

Like that.

Stop with the nonsense.

And finish cleaning up.

Yes, Executive Director.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Yes.

I need to get back to work.

Just a moment.

Pick up my calls.

I'm leaving.

I brought a bribe in case you said no.

Wear these if you get hurt.

I've never seen such ugly gloves.

My heart behind getting you the gloves is beautiful.

Suck it up. Bye.

She left without cleaning up.

- Your drinking snacks. - Thank you.

Bon appétit.

Why do you keep looking at your phone?

I thought Nu Ri manages the flower shop's social media.

I'm waiting for a call. I'd get in trouble if I don't pick up again.

Wow, someone's got a nasty temper.

- Something like that. - Sometimes, you enable it.

Carry your phone with you.

Okay.

I'm meeting a Jin Mu Yeong fan soon.

Oh... What?

Why did you decide that alone? What about my opinion?

I'm your proxy.

Don't worry, I'll go myself.

Then, why did you decline all the money-making casting offers?

I thought she'd call.

2 p.m. on Saturday at a cafe.

Attaching a map.

You're up.

Drink the juice.

You're even working at home.

You're crazy for money.

Nu Ri.

Do kids your age read books?

Books?

No, why?

Apparently, I have a fan.

It sounds like she's your age.

I'm amused.

I had forgotten about the fact that I wrote a book.

Oppa, didn't you write a novel to read to me when I was little?

But wasn't it too hard for a kid in kindergarten?

It's better than deciding the level arbitrarily and writing something childish.

You should've met my level if it was for me.

Aigoo, you fell asleep every time I tried to read it to you.

Whatever.

What?

I heard your wish comes true if this breaks off by itself.

What did you wish for that it didn't come true yet?

You listening to me.

I bet it'll never break off.

No, never...

Never, ever.

Hang up the laundry.

Yes, PD.

Yes, all good. Yes.

Yes, take your time. Okay.

You made it.

What's up with the flowers?

Wow, fan service?

It's for you.

- You used to like these flowers. - I did?

- Want something to drink? - Yeah.

Oh, the guests are running late.

- They're stuck in traffic. - Guests?

A variety show PD and his daughter are coming together.

You'd lose nothing by getting to know him.

No, there's way more you'd gain in many ways.

He's been in the industry a long time, so would he know you're Sunwoo Hae...

No, I don't think he'll recognize you.

How pretty.

"There's a fan who wants to meet me."

I'm an idiot for believing that.

Hey.

Where are you going?

Hey.

You can't just leave like this.

There's no reason for me to stay for something like this.

Do you think I lied about your fan?

Your fan is a teenager and a high schooler.

Is it weird that she's coming with a guardian?

Seems important to Sung Je Yeon that the guardian is a PD.

Well, I won't deny it.

It was always that kind of a meeting,

but I'm paying for it for wanting it to be a personal occasion.

It can't be completely personal between classmates in the working world.

It's work and personal both. You're not paying for anything.

I said I didn't want to be used for strangers' nostalgia,

but I tried to use you for my own nostalgia.

My request was for you to come here as a writer.

- What's the problem? - The problem?

There's no problem. What could be the problem?

To you, am I just foam on the surface to scoop up for your work?

Then, should we have a heart-to-heart after all these years?

Were we that meaningful as classmates?

If we were, would you believe it?

Aigoo, you're here.

Hello, PD.

Hello.

- A side effect of the profession. - You weren't happy to see them?

You made it.

Oh, my gosh...

Who's...

Hello, I'm Jin Mu Yeong. Nice to meet you.

I'm Yu Jae Il.

You must've been hiding because you're so handsome.

I'm applying to be a literature student.

My Korean teacher says I'm talented,

and that I should study it in college.

Are you using a pen name?

- May I ask what your real name is? - Dad!

Don't invade his privacy.

Would you be open to reading my writing later?

Why are you asking a busy person such a thing?

If you need my opinion,

I'm not sure if it'd be helpful...

It's already so helpful!

How did you become a novelist?

I was hoping to just make a few bucks when I started.

Doesn't sound like there was a compelling reason.

Dad, please.

I totally understand your reasoning.

I want to make money through writing, too.

I plan to enter writing contests, too.

He was popular for always winning prestigious writing contests.

Oh, right. You became a professional writer in high school, didn't you?

What was he like?

He had a vibe back then.

And others were hesitant to approach him because of it.

You didn't know that, did you?

I didn't.

Doesn't he look similar to Sunwoo Hae?

You hear that from time to time, don't you?

He's missing a little something to say he looks like him. Don't you think?

Me?

Who's Sunwoo Hae?

Stop acting so old.

Why do you keep lashing out at me today?

Drop the pretense. What's with you?

I owe you big time.

You manage Mo Tae Rin, right? Let's have a meeting.

Thank you.

Thank you. See you.

It was nice to meet you.

Take care.

A PD who outright says let's have a meeting,

and you who accepted that...

Am I supposed to say no?

How could I get anything done if I worry about all that?

Sure.

Good job pretending to be a classmate who's happy to see me.

What a thing to say.

It doesn't look like you're happy to see me again.

Let me ask you one thing.

Would you have bridged the connection

even if the guardian was not a PD?

What is it you want to say?

I'm just curious.

To know if you're like that.

I'm curious about what kind of dreams shining ones like you dream.

What kind of person did you expect me to be?

Thanks for staying today.

I don't know what it was like for you, but I owe you one.

Thanks for making time.

I hope you do well.

Sure.

You, too.

She asked me to delete this.

I can see why.

You should've taken it better. What is this?

[Delete]

Run to the store and get some green onions.

And get some fresh air.

Green onion, my foot.

It bothers me to watch you space out like this.

Go now since we don't have customers.

- Go get some fresh air. - We're out?

What kind of a person did you expect me to be?

What is this?

What's going on?

Why are you here?

So...

I didn't finish what I had to say earlier.

So...

The flowers from earlier.

I trimmed the stems at an angle, so you just need to put them in a vase.

I figured you'd at least have a plastic bottle.

You can recycle for this purpose.

Change out the water once a day.

You're here to say that?

Yes.

That's that... and...

Sunwoo Hae?

You really want people to misunderstand, don't you?

Misunderstand what?

People will misunderstand if they see me with a man.

I don't want the company to know about my personal life...

Hey.

What happened to your shirt?

You're way too strong.

I told you I'm strong.

Why are you wearing clothes like this?

It'll melt away in the rain.

I had this for ten years.

- So thrifty. - I am like that.

How did you know where I work?

Wasn't this an invitation to come find you?

It wasn't.

So, why did you come here?

Wearing an apron...

I was so out of it.

Do I look too indecent?

Well, it's not that bad...

Can't we...

see each other as much as we want now?

No, I guess.

What was that?

Just...

to say it was nice to see you.

Bye.

Hey!

♫ My breathing gets faster and faster ♫

Why don't you buy me dinner if you're happy to see me?

And drinks, too.

We're not 19 anymore.

♫ I barely spit it out ♫

♫ Thoughts of you spill out ♫

♫ I try to swallow it back ♫

♫ And I can't fight through my memories of you ♫

♫ Hiding in the time that's slipping away ♫

♫ Without any thoughts ♫

♫ As if nothing matters ♫

[To Sung Je Yeon, from Sunwoo Hae]

♫ As if we had nothing ♫
