Rumi Yi?

It's been forever.

Oh, Taehyun Seo.

Hey, how's it going, Nana.

Why are you here?

Are you surprised?

Oh, two people I missed so much.

I knew that Nana Yoon is here.

But why are you here, Rumi?

Oh.

She's our CEO.

What?

Rumi, you're the CEO?

Wow.

Why are you here?

Me?

To work.

[ XX ]

Oh, it seems like you didn't know.

I'm in charge of this coming event.

What? Are you in charge?

Do you all ...

know each other?

Yes.

We know each other so well.

But it seems like you two are good now?

I ...

thought that I may have made you two fight.

That bothered me for a while.

But then it seems like I didn't have to feel sorry much.

Imagine that Taehyun showed up here!

Do you think you can raise your face in front of Nana?

Well, I think I should introduce myself properly.

CEO Rumi Yi.

I look forward to your kind cooperation.

We used to be really close.

I heard that the lauching event of REVAN cosmetics will take place at your bar.

As if you still care.

How grateful I should be for you knowing everything about me.

The director of REVAN cosmetics is a friend of your father.

Do your best so that your father will appreciate it.

I don't want attention from him.

That's not what I meant.

What I mean is that do not make your father upset.

Don't make any trouble. Make your father proud of you.

Got it?

Any plan to give me your name card?

I will do it.

I will do it.

I can't do this well today.

We will work with the agency we always work with.

Send me the portfolio of the agency first.

Their work is good.

We always work with them at every event.

Still. Please send it to me.

If I don't like the concept, I'll work with a different agency.

You sound like a real CEO.

But I don't like your attitude.

Even if you're CEO here, ...

my company pays you.

I mean, come on, ...

if I say that I didn't like this bar, ...

my company will find a different place.

That will definitely make you sad.

Staff said that ...

you really want to have this event at your bar.

It is always those who are not in power ...

want to exert their power.

If you want to change the place, do it.

I was just joking.

Wow, Rumi, you became a strong woman.

Nope, that's not it, I think.

I think you still have some grudges ...

Is that why you're trying to put up a strong front?

Can we just talk about work?

I do not want to talk about anything but work with you.

You've changed a lot.

But I guess Nana hasn't changed much.

Looks cocky but in fact, she's a good girl.

Given that she works for you even after all that.

You have not changed a bit.

So brazen.

I am?

Oh, I think I've got to go.

I will send you the portfolio later.

You know, I'm flexible.

It was good to see you again.

Hope I can see you more often.

Next time, please give me a smile.

You know, we used to be close.

We need to talk.

Will you do this?

I

You will?

It's

I don't want to see him as well.

But just because of that jerk, ...

I can't miss such good opportunity.

Not hostingi it won't shut down our bar.

I'm doing it to make it better.

That's why ...

even when Taehyun is involved, ...

you still want to do it?

There must be another reason.

What is it?

Do you want to beat other bars?

Or is it because you want to boast about your bar to some of your celeb friends?

If all these are not the reason, ...

is it ...

that you want to be acknowledged by your dad?

What?

You always do this.

You always care what others think ...

more than how proud you are of yourself.

What about you?

Do you think you are any different when you still avoid Taehyun?

It's all water under the bridge. Why are you still avoiding him?

Will you keep avoiding him like this?

All water in the bridge?

You've experienced the exact same thing. How can you say that to me?

Is it all under the bridge about you and Gyumin?

Well, ...

do you think you can say it's all in the past like 5 years later?

At least, I ...

try to make it stay in the past.

But not just at the time, but even now, you're trying nothing.

You ran away when I told you to slap me.

You keep avoiding whenever you see Taehyun.

And then, you get angry at some injustice others face.

Do you think that's all normal?

You are not.

Who made this kind of situation?

I tell you ...

that I will not do this.

Today ...

what about flat whith that Londoners enjoy, instead of latte.

It's just some difference in the amount of milk.

Well, today, I feel tired so I should just go home.

I am sorry.

I will see you tomorrow.

Hey, it is also your fault. Think about it.

If your best friend and I fall in love, ...

that means you have some problems.

Okay, I'm the bad girl here.

So, get angry at me or swear at me.

Do something, please!

Why do you keep ignoring me?

I called your name so many times.

Come out.

Hot and spicy chicken feet, all of a sudden?

Why you feel blue, all of a sudden?

I didn't say I feel blue.

Your face tells everone.

So I thought your body needs some capsaicin.

Well, the lauching party will take place at our bar.

But then the person who's in charge is Taehyun Seo.

Taehyun Seo? That trash?

The one that I know of?

Yes.

But Rumi wants to host it.

Wait, let me process all this.

Your ex-boyfriend and ...

your best friend who fell in love with your ex-boyfriend ...

will be working together?

Even processing it is complicated.

It is just all bull shit.

It's not that spicy today.

It is too spicy to me.

Maybe it's because you're so angry inside.

That's why you don't even taste all this spiciness.

[ Danny ] [ Did you go home safely? ]

[ See you tomorrow ]

[Vlive Ver] "MBC E09 'XX' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What is it?

I know that you won't come here to buy a perfume because it's not a department store.

Did you know that I'm here?

I thought you're so concentrated that you couldn't even see me.

It's just you didn't say hello to me.

Let's get to the point.

- Your perfume. - My perfume? What?

Will you say that it's made in Itaewon ...

and try to pick a fight again?

I will let you display your perfumes at my bar.

Really?

Oh, you should tell me earlier.

And ...

do you know Junho Ma?

He's a really famous perfumer.

He's my role model.

What about him?

I'll introduce him to you.

Well ...

What is it, Rumi?

But, instead, ...

I knew it.

Please help me convince Nana.

Oh, that launching party?

Hey, do you really want to do it?

Nana really hates Taehyun.

She hates him more than anything.

Nana hates coriander most.

She eats coriander.

What are you talking about?

She hates the smell of it.

She does eat it now. She said she's now addicted to it.

Yeah?

I'm the true best friend of Nana. You can't beat me.

You know her preferences but ...

you don't know what she thinks and how she feels.

I agree.

That's probably why she left me that easily?

What are you talking about?

She was always on your side at the time.

What are you talking about?

[ 5 years ago ]

I've got to go.

I'll see you later.

What's up?

You ignored me and didn't even meet me.

Hey.

You are the one who cheated on me.

Why is Rumi getting all the criticism all alone?

Don't act like you're innocent.

Tell people that it's you who lured her.

Wow.

What kind of situation is this?

This is so funny.

Nana.

Does Rumi know that you're ...

still defending her?

I should've seen this coming.

Hey.

I know that it's you who were so determined ...

to lure her. I just know it.

Well, if you can't accept the reality, think whatever you want.

But people don't care.

Everyone will think that Rumi betrayed you.

I don't care.

What's important is that I know the fact.

She stood up for you at the time.

But again, you ...

will not even think about how she feels.

Don't you get it?

Why you're the bad girl here?

Nana.

Thank you.

Hello.

Oh, you.

Hello.

I'm not here for work.

I will talk about work only with Rumi.

I think you would feel uncomfortable to work with me.

I don't want to have anything to do with you.

Hey, don't try to be cocky.

But then, that's what makes you attractive.

But you will still serve alcohol for me, right?

I want Irish Bomb.

You still remember it.

We used to drink it often.

Are you seeing someone?

Oh.

This doesn't work well.

I think I need to fix it.

You know how to drink it.

Bottoms up.

Bottoms up and leave.

I'll wait for you until you finish your work.

We need to talk.

Leave.

I know that it's too late but ...

I think we can at least talk.

Get off of me.

Please leave.

It's our business.

- We're having some private talk. - That's what I'm saying.

It seems like she doesn't want any private relationship with you.

Why do you keep trying to have a private conversation?

She says no.

Nana, what's wrong with him?

I told you before.

I can't stand with anything who touches what and who I like.

Do you like Nana?

But ...

do you know that we were in a relationship?

Yes, I like her.

No, I do not care whether you were her boyfriend.

So what?

You want to fight?

Danny.

This is my business.

Can you please give us a moment?

That's what I'm saying.

Why are you overreacting?

Nana.

Will you keep igoring me?

Do you still hate me?

Yes.

I ha

No, ...

I should say I'm terrified by you.

You are like ...

a terrifying memory that I do not want to recall.

So please don't make any fuss in my life.

Just leave.

I'm sorry earlier.

I am sorry.

I shouldn't have involved.

No, I ...

I only thought about how I feel about you.

I didn't think about how you would feel.

I know that you wouldn't like me liking you so aggressively.

I will be careful.

Then ...

I'll see you tomorrow.

You're like a terrifying memory that I don't want to recall.

Why is it ...

a terrifying memory?

[ Dad ]

[ Dad ]

What's up?

How are you preparing the launching party?

It's been a few years since the last time we talked on the phone ...

and you get to the point right away. You haven't changed at all.

I heard that the sales of the bar you opened previously are going down.

You left your home so confidently ...

but then you don't do anything well.

As if you had some expectations upon me.

I've never expected something from you.

I would be just relieved that you wouldn't make any trouble.

I need to keep a close relationship with the director of REVAN cosmetics.

So, do well for the lauching party.

I will swing by if I have any chance.

You will visit my bar?

If I have any chance.

Talk to you sometime soon.

You know what makes me sad most?

I chose you over Taehyun.

But you ...

you chose Taehyun over me.

And again, you won't think about how Nana would feel.

You are not good at anything.

I'll swing by if I have a chance.

[ Taehyun Seo ]

Dad, you'll swing by my bar?

[ Taehyun Seo ]

[ Taehyun Seo ]

I was about to call you.

I have to talk with you. It's about the launching party.

[ XX ] [ X or X ]

It was all me telling you how much I like you.

I like you.

This may sound all too abrupt,

but I've liked you for quite some time.

I thought I made it clear then. That I can't stand it if you mess with something I like.

I think I was too selfish.

I thought about myself, but didn't put myself in your shoes enough.

Me liking you and being like this may be too much for you.

I will behave from now on.

[ Danny, I hope you went home safely yester... ]

[ You didn't come as too much or anything... ]

Look at you.

Someone like you who suck at flirting don't get any better writing texts over and over again.

I'd rather ask for my help.

I mean, what's all this about?

At one point, he tells me he likes me.

Then all of a sudden, he says he doesn't want to pressure me.

That's not the point here.

The point is, he's bugging you.

That's the point.

Wow, this is surprising.

Seeing you flirting with a guy like this in 5 years.

By the way, why don't you just go ahead,

with the launching party?

I hear that it helps your bar promotion as well.

What's in your head?

Why is that you seem to care about this event more than I do?

Did Yi Rumi promise you that she would let you display your perfumes,

if you persuade me or something?

Seriously?

I was just saying random stuffs! But did I get it right?

Nonsense!

It's all because I hate to see you run away from Seo Taehyun again.

Just make him see how much better off you are without him!

That's the least you should do!

Why would you avoid him!

Hello?

Come out for a second. I am outside.

What's going on?

I decided to drop the launching party.

What game are you playing now?

Now that your strategy of using Jungdeun fails,

you are going ahead with a different strategy?

I already talked to Seo Taehyun about canceling the event.

I may be a bitch,

but you know you are one hell of a cruel girl, right?

Everything you said yesterday was hurting but true.

You are right.

I wanted to press ahead with the launching party because I needed my dad's approval.

He was never interested in my life.

Until he called me and made sure I don't screw this up.

Why didn't you,

just do it then.

I owe you.

Like you said,

I chose Seo Taehyun over you 5 years ago.

Though it may sound lame, if I am to explain myself,

I was really young and impulsive then.

And above all, I was lonely.

That one stupid mistake

haunted me for the last five years.

That's why,

I am choosing you this time.

Because there's no way I am repeating that stupid mistake all over again.

And I may have overstepped and said some mean things yesterday.

I really wanted to tell you that

since I was already a bitch to you.

There's no reason for you to run away,

since it was me and him who did wrong.

But you never did and are doing anything then and now.

You run away when I tell you to let it out on me.

You run away when Seo Taehyun shows up.

But then you get furious over things that happen to someone else.

No matter how pathetic she may seem to you,

I will chase you till the end to make your life a living hell.

Does that seem normal to you?

You are far from being normal right now!

What?

[ Danny, I need to talk to you ]

[ Can you meet me in front of the vending machine? ]

Hello?

Dad.

I am dropping the launching party.

What's that all about?

Aren't you used to this by now?

Me failing you?

And,

stop sending me money.

[ 5 years ago ]

[ Dad ] [ Let's do dinner some other time. I wired you some money. ]

Getting money like that,

that's a terrible feeling. It makes me feel so pathetic.

[ Seo Taehyun ]

Hello?

I am at this izakaya in my neighbourhood.

Can you drop by?

What I didn't get from you,

I sought from other people.

My dad bailed on me.

It's always like this.

He's mean.

Attention and approval. Things like those.

I was never,

[ Nana ] proud of myself.

But now, I want to be able to cherish myself,

without having to be approved by someone else.

Take care.

We've never been here in broad daylight.

Yeah.

It's nicer to be out here in broad daylight.

Is this flat white?

Yes.

Flat whites have lesser milk than lattes.

But those vending machine coffees are too sweet I failed.

I like it because it's sweet.

I am sorry for leaving like that yesterday.

I am sorry,

for yesterday.

And thank you for helping me yesterday.

Danny,

what happens if you keep avoiding the ball instead of batting it?

Well, if the pitcher pitches it right and you keep avoiding the ball, then you are out.

So, there's no way you will win if you keep avoiding the ball, right?

You didn't bring me here to talk about baseball.

Is this you telling me that you were trying to avoid me all along?

No.

My head was quite cloudy lately.

And I thought I could clear my head up talking to you.

So did you find the answer?

Yes.

Honestly, I think I knew the answer all along.

I just needed to know I was right.

I guess it's going to take a while,

for you to get back to me on what I said earlier?

Right? You couldn't have already...

Actually nope.

I got that answer before anything.

I don't drink coffee in front of the vending machine in broad daylight with a guy I don't like.

Does that mean,

you and I are...

Yes.

Let's do it.

The love battery.

You are here.

What?

Let's do this. The launching party.

What's up with all this change of heart?

You said this was important to your dad too.

That doesn't matter anymore.

Still, I want to do it.

Let's do it.

You said you felt uncomfortable because of Seo Taehyun.

I decided not to waste my time running away from people I don't like.

There are so many more important things in my life that deserve my time.

Sounds like there's someone new who deserves your time.

Whatever.

No dating in the office.

Says the owner.

I hope it's a decent guy.

Says your old best friend.

Hey, Wang Jungdeun!

Wake up! Wake up!

We have a party to go!

It's not time yet.

Give me a makeover from head to toe.

What's going on?

Oh well, to think of it, there will be both your ex-boyfriend and your new boyfriend.

Hurry up. Come.

This looks like your mother's.

This is nice.

Check it out.

Don't you think I am talented in makeup?

My looks is what's talented.

Seriously...

I will go tidy up my perfumery first, so you go there first.

Alright, I will see you there.

Welcome.

Hello.

Danny.

What do you think? All good?

One for you.

This is our new signature cocktail we came up with last time.

Thank you.

Hello!

Hi, welcome.

Don't you love the colour?

[Vlive Ver] "MBC E10 'XX' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

When are you coming?

I am almost there.

Sorry I am late.

Nope, you got here earlier than I thought.

What's up with those two.

Flirting around on the counter.

Those two?

I am quite an open-minded owner.

So I don't care whether they flirt or date as long as they get their work done.

And plus, my friend who had zero taste in men

finally decided to get past her ugly relationship and date a decent guy.

So, good for her.

Ugly relationship?

Yes, ugly relationship.

Seo Taehyun,

you are nothing more than an ugly past to us.

So stop showing up out of nowhere and embarrass us.

Just stay buried in our ugly past.

You almost broke,

me and Nana apart.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Do you have a girlfriend?

Huh?

Yes, I do.

We fell for each other after several cups of coffee in front of the same vending machine.

Right.

Hi, this is Jayden.

I am a perfumer so I've brought a perfume with me. Would you like to try it on?

Yeah sure.

Here you go.

I love the scent.

Has this sentimental feel to it.

Thank you.

Give me a call sometime.

Yes, of course.

Nana.

Until when are you planning on living with Jungdeun?

I mean, no matter how close you two are, a straight man and woman living together is a bit...

Danny, I so understand that you may misunderstand me and Jungdeun but...

Long time no see.

Yeah.

It's been two years.

Was that your ex? That guy just then?

I thought so.

Why did you guys break up?

He cheated on me.

Well, I am the last person to give advice on that.

You got that right.

I mean, why do people cheat?

Human instinct?

As if I don't have instincts?

Don't get too pissed.

You've seen me.

He's going to get his punishment, real bad.

He should.

He's already got his punishment with losing me. That's his punishment.

What was that with the vending machine story back there?

Well, now that I have a girlfriend, I needed to update my line.

Are you sure you made up the last one about that girlfriend from your workplace?

Whoa...

You really can't remember.

Come here.

Huh?

This is the music you played me at the bar last time.

Nope.

That wasn't the first time we heard this together.

Seriously? You saw me then?

I had no idea.

I held it together for 2 years. 2 years!

You didn't hold anything together!

People are going to think I rejected you 2 years ago.

I am serious. My feelings started developing since then.

I never brought it up because you made it clear that you don't do dating.

Shall we go back inside now?

I think we've been away for too long.

We have the sub-bartenders, so it's alright.

Then, five more minutes?

By the way,

I haven't noticed before,

but this is a quite private space here.

Is it?

Or is it just me?

It does seem quite private... I think...

You said five more minutes, right?

Yes, why?

Because five minutes is more than enough.

Look at you two.

A fling or something?

Oh well,

Nana does like private spaces.

For example, like empty lecture rooms.

You.

Danny,

you go ahead to the bar first.

Why all of a sudden?

You said I was a terrible memory, right?

But,

to think of it real hard,

that weirdly sounds like

you really liked me a lot.

I am saying the truth.

If you hated me, you would've slapped me,

or tell everyone how big of an ass I was.

But you didn't do any of that.

That's because,

you liked me a lot.

And you are scared to like me again.

You are hilarious.

Where's that confidence coming from?

Or is it just hard to accept the fact that someone actually doesn't like you?

Since you are dying to know, let me tell you.

By the way,

do you not regret,

getting back at Jung Gyumin like that?

I do.

I should've screwed him over even more.

Why were you so obsessed with getting back at him?

You could've just ignored him.

Because I liked him a lot, to the extent I wanted to spend that much

time and energy on revenge.

If I do nothing, it seems like I didn't care much about him.

I didn't know then, but now I know in hindsight.

Like you said, I never slapped you,

nor tell everyone how big of an ass you were.

I never did anything to you,

because you simply didn't deserve my time and energy even for a revenge.

I didn't care much about you.

You were nothing more than that to me.

Oh and,

it's not a fling.

I am dating.

So,

you watch your mouth

in front of my boyfriend.

Did you scrap your junk car?

Yes.

It took 5 years to scrap him.

You really had zero taste in men.

You are not the right person to say that I think.
