Can I take your order?

May I order after my friend arrives?

Sure, take your time.

Hi.

Hi.

It's been so long.

You look the same.

No, I don't.

Both of us have changed.

Have we?

Did I pick a place where people will recognize you?

It's okay.

What if someone takes your photo?

What if a story goes up on those paparazzo websites?

Why? You wouldn't like that?

It's fine with me...

Meeting a famous person, I need a drink.

Give me a break.

I have to dye my hair now.

At least you're not balding.

You don't come to this neighborhood much?

Well, there are galleries here. Sometimes I come.

Though not usually like this.

I like this place.

Yeah.

It is okay next to the window? Should we sit further inside?

It's fine. Not many people outside.

Only this table has flowers.

Besides, people don't recognize me as much as you think.

People only chase after good looking male actors.

You've got so many fans!

See?

Hi, I'm such a big fan of yours.

Could I have your autograph?

It's an official autograph card. I'm well prepared, aren't I?

What's your name?

Jung Min-ok.

Can I have one too?

Could we also take a photo with you too?

Ah, I'm afraid not.

Who are you?

I'm her manager.

Yu-Jin has an important meeting here soon.

We can't allow photos. Please understand.

And please don't tell people that she's here.

Here you are...

- Goodbye. - Bye.

Bye.

There's no real need to go that far.

Did I overdo it?

No, you did well. Thanks.

You're considerate, as always. Only your hair's different.

Really?

You've changed.

I've heard stars' faces change a lot.

Me?

It's not that different.

I'd already had dental work when I met you.

That would change your face so much?

Because you maintain it.

They call it "camera massage".

You can do that with massage?

Anyway, actors don't age at all.

What do you mean?

Living your life worrying about the camera, that's the massage.

That's why I look this way.

I've only got a few years left. Need to make the most of it.

What? You'll last a long time. You're still in your prime.

Honestly, you're the best actress in Korea.

You're my friend for sure.

We were more than just friends.

Right...

You never married because you couldn't forget me.

Was that it?

No one believes me when I say you were my girlfriend.

Not that I go around telling people.

I told some people I'm close to, as a secret.

Well, it's not a lie.

Your smile is just the same.

Yeah. Thanks.

You look just like an actress.

Your face sparkles. And you're not wearing makeup!

You know nothing about women.

There's makeup that looks like no makeup.

That's why you're not married.

I may not be married, but that doesn't mean I don't have a girl.

That's a relief.

So are you dating someone nice?

I don't know. Not as nice as you.

She better not be.

You dated a lot too.

Me?

I heard you dated Woon-hyeok. Is it true?

What should I say...

Everybody knows it, so I can't deny it.

So it's true.

That's an old story.

You must have many stories.

Come on, we were just kids then.

We were.

I never imagined you could work in this field.

Someone as shy as you.

I changed a lot.

I know.

I don't mean my face.

I know that too.

What do you know? Can you see it?

Even besides the mainstream press, you hear things.

What sort of things?

You know...

No, I don't.

Like stock market rumor sites.

Rumor sites...

You read those?

I don't read them, but colleagues send messages around.

Don't believe those, they're all wrong.

There are some reliable ones. Sometimes they're right.

Sometimes, I guess.

You see?

Even so, you don't need to believe them all.

What's important is if they're right.

I don't want to believe it.

I'm glad they're wrong sometimes.

What don't you want to believe?

The world is filled with rumors. You must know them.

No, I don't.

Really?

I don't.

So tell me.

Can I?

Yeah, tell me.

That you were dating Lee Minuk, and you cheated on him.

Really?

No?

He's so violent.

So he punched you and broke your nose,

and you had surgery again to straighten it.

You really believe that?

They said he gave you a flying kick.

Hey, you think this nose was fixed?

Touch it. It's the same nose as when we dated.

If so, I'm relieved.

Don't just sit there, touch it.

Excuse me.

But actually I've never touched a nose that had surgery.

But yours seems real.

How could you forget my nose?

I never got hit by him. Though we did date.

He was good to me.

He acts manly, but he doesn't hit women.

And you're still dating?

No. But that wasn't why we broke up.

Nobody cheated.

I told you, the rumor sites are wrong.

But they were right that you dated.

Even though, you shouldn't believe everything you read.

Then you didn't abort the child of Samjeon Group's vice chairman?

I heard you got slapped by the chairman's wife.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that.

I'm a real jerk.

Working in the office has made me this way.

Seeing you after so long, we should just share memories.

We can do that now.

But is a guy on lunch break allowed to drink beer?

It's the section chief's day off, so I rank highest.

Drinking during the day...

But seeing you so well-spoken, pretty and young-looking,

it's nice.

Yeah.

I hope you stay that way.

I watch all of your films.

How do you pick such great movies?

I always thought you were smart.

I got good grades, but was bad at living.

Even still.

Seeing you after so long,

it's a bit shocking that you're so insensitive.

I always hear that at work.

That's why no one believes that I went out with you.

Speaking of which...

Let's take a photo together.

What?

To prove...

...for memory's sake.

You don't mind?

Yeah, well... sure.

I'll stand next to you.

Thank you so much.

I didn't take this to brag about it, you know?

Sure.

For our memories.

So quiet, like in the past.

This cafe?

No, you.

I was always amazed when you opened your mouth.

Back then I didn't know how to talk about what I felt.

When I see your films, it's strange to see you talk quickly.

It's amazing to see a person change.

What I show in films is just an image.

Is it?

It was nice to see the neighborhood. I need to go.

Already?

Yeah.

That's a shame.

Sorry,

my coworkers are there.

They must've been curious where I went.

Right.

When will we meet again? Can I call you?

Of course.

And I'll be in a TV drama this spring, please watch it.

Of course, I wouldn't miss it!

It's a shame.

I think so, too.

Happy New Year.

What?

Can you still call it a new year?

It's the first time seeing you this year.

Right...

It has been a while.

Happy New Year.

We're a year older.

You still look fine, Kyung-Jin.

Look at me.

I'm shocked when I look in the mirror.

I can see myself aging.

I said I'd die with no regrets at age 30.

But I'll probably still be around at 40.

Even at 40 you should live a full life.

Did you have a fun trip?

Yeah.

It was great.

How nice if I could always be on vacation.

How long were you there?

About four months.

Was it five?

That's nice. I'm envious.

Is your face tanned?

It's darkening with age.

Soon I'll be middle-aged.

You left this behind.

Oh, right.

Thank you.

I felt something was missing.

All through my trip.

I had a hard time in India.

Just couldn't adapt to the climate.

So after two months I flew to Europe, but...

It was so expensive there.

How's work?

I changed jobs.

For the better?

No. I'm not earning anything.

And I'm really busy.

What happened?

But it's work I wanted to do.

A newly launched food magazine.

So it's for the better?

Yes.

Then are you learning to cook well, too?

Hardly.

I'm not learning to make food.

I'm learning how to describe food.

Since I'm a food writer.

For example?

Well...

"Whipped cream sits upon the round chocolate cake."

"Chocolate powder is tossed by the wind upon the snow."

"Hidden within that snow is a jewel of caramel almond."

Wow.

You were serious about wanting to write a novel.

It's only been a month so I don't know anything.

I get yelled at every day.

In the time between changing jobs I did try writing a novel.

So did you finish it?

No.

Am I in your novel?

It's not a diary, why would you be in it?

Then am I in your diary?

I don't keep diaries.

So you don't keep diaries...

Didn't you get bored traveling on your own?

Actually this was my first trip abroad.

And my first time on a plane.

There's actually a lot to see in India.

And I love Indian curry.

Germany, Hungary and the Czech Republic were all good.

But Paris was cold and boring.

Really? Seems like it'd be interesting.

You must have been to Paris.

I've never been to the places you mentioned.

Really?

I'm surprised.

There are so many Korean women tourists in Paris.

With all these similar landmarks bunched together,

it's like a big theme park.

But why did you go?

You don't like that I went?

What do you mean?

I don't like what you just said.

What are you doing now?

Me?

I'd better get a job, too.

Are there people interested in you?

Now that I'm in a company, people tell me I'm old.

Then I'll start a business.

Is that so easy?

You said you're not rich.

I guess you've got something saved up?

I do.

Not a lot, though.

I can get a loan.

I should get a loan and open a restaurant... Indian curry.

You can popularize it in your magazine, then!

Only if the food's good.

This means "yes" in India.

Does it look strange?

Yes, don't do it.

Anyway, I need to find something to do.

I don't think I'd be able to run a business.

Since I've only worked under other people.

Now that I've had a few months of freedom,

it's time to work under someone else again.

Who is going to hire you? My god...

Exactly.

Just open a restaurant. Maybe I can help you.

You're going to help?

I don't know.

Sorry, I'm being shameless.

You are, aren't you?

Am I?

Why did you call me?

I said I'd call after getting back.

I thought you'd be back sooner.

Did you?

I thought you'd at least send me a photo of something.

I wasn't sure if I should.

I felt a bit shy.

You knew that I was going, but you didn't say anything.

What was I supposed to say?

You spent one day at my place.

I could hardly tell you not to go.

And asking you to call from there is ridiculous.

Is it?

It is.

You don't know me.

Did you feel hurt?

Yes.

I apologize.

I'll be going now.

Don't leave like this.

Let's talk.

You don't know me yet.

Of course I don't.

I've seen you three times.

Now it's four.

What?

Sorry.

After the way you rushed before...

I did?

Yes!

Things just happened that way.

Wasn't it mutual?

Sorry, I'm not comfortable here.

Sit just for a moment.

I know I've been such a jerk.

When you get fired, being daring is no use.

There are times when you need to think.

After you've lost your means of making a living.

It feels nice touching your hand again.

I asked to meet because I have something for you.

I'm boring, I didn't wrap it.

I bought it in the Czech Republic.

It's probably used...

Can I put it on you?

Can I?

Okay.

It's pretty.

Do you like it?

Yes.

That's a relief.

It runs on a spring. You have to feed it daily.

There's an old watch store in the Czech Republic.

When I bought it I set the time and wound it.

Since then, I've wound it every day.

I saw it and wanted to buy it for you.

Did you spend a lot on it?

Yes.

I did.

And this doll...

It's from the Czech Republic, too.

And...

a mirror from India,

and a camera from Germany.

They just keep coming out.

I kept seeing things I wanted to buy you.

I want to confess something.

Actually I'm good at making pasta.

Would you come to my house?

Try it and describe it for me.

We'll see if you should become a journalist,

and if I should open a restaurant.

Let's find out about each other.

Anyway, you're always rushing.

But what kind of pasta are you going to make?

Aglio e Olio.

Anyone can make that, Can't they?

And stop pretending you're old.

You're younger than I am.

I am?

There are two events.

The engagement ceremony, and the wedding.

And I may call you once after that.

You don't work with Wol-ja anymore?

She said she's always worked with you.

Well, "always" is just three times.

Two times up to the engagement, and once to the wedding.

I'm not that experienced in this business.

Then how many times have you married, legally?

Legally I'm still unmarried.

I just did a ceremony once.

Oh, really?

The engagement's at a Japanese restaurant.

I'll prepare your clothes for that.

Text me your dress size.

You've lived in Canada with my brother for 11 years...

You don't need to write this down?

Ah... yes.

Just a moment.

Go ahead.

You speak English.

But there's no need to.

I see.

You've been in Canada 11 years, in Vancouver.

It has four seasons, but doesn't get cold.

My brother opened a medical clinic, OB/GYN.

OB/GYN...

My brother can't attend my wedding because his wife is sick.

I see...

My son and daughter-in-law don't have kids?

They do. One?

No, I wrote two.

A 10-year old daughter, a 2-year old son.

Will they ask for photos?

I prepared photos already.

I see.

I studied textile design at Baeyeon University.

After graduating I went back to Italy,

and that's when you moved to Vancouver to be with my brother.

Italy... Textiles...

Italy... Textiles...

The groom's family is from the countryside.

They won't ask too many questions.

Are only the parents coming?

Yes, both parents. No siblings.

The mother walks with a limp.

And the father has a bad larynx.

So he can't talk.

You don't need to write all that.

If they are rich then why do they live in the countryside?

Do they own a lot of land?

They're poor.

I guess the groom is self-made.

Your name is Kim Hee-Nam.

Kim Hee-Nam? Okay.

It's my late mother's name.

Oh my...

Even still...

For something like this, using your real mother's name.

You're brave.

Really?

Sure.

Then will you just have the ceremony this time too?

No, I'll register the marriage.

He must be a big fish, I guess.

Something like that.

The wedding date is fixed, and both parents know.

This month we'll just do the engagement ceremony.

The wedding is a month later.

I'll have to check my schedule. Dates often conflict in the spring.

The wedding is on May 30.

Does it conflict?

No.

Then what is it?

My daughter's wedding is that day.

Ah, you have a daughter.

The same day as my wedding?

No... several years ago.

But she died. That was several years ago too.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm sorry to bring it up.

I have a request.

The friends at the wedding... Are there people you can recommend?

Why? Aren't there people you've used before?

I'd like to work with different people this time.

Okay, I can find a few.

What would the payment be?

For the usual price, can you find 12 people?

I'll talk to some people who would suit you.

I'll send some photos by phone, and you decide.

Yes, thank you.

I'll pay you $1500 for the engagement and wedding.

I'm raising your fee for finding me those guests.

Oh, how generous of you.

But where will the wedding be? Is it fixed?

Yes, 2pm at Cheongdo Hall in Seongsu-dong.

Cheongdo Hall in Seongsu-dong? I've never heard of it.

Is there a decent wedding hall there?

No, there isn't.

Isn't the groom self-made?

He's an employee at a small sports equipment store.

Recently hired.

Does he have any money?

No.

I'm doing this because I like him.

You like him?

Yes, I do.

Like a real wedding.

At least for now.

Then why do it like this?

I got tangled up at the start.

Living like this, you can rarely be honest.

I was going after the owner, but I fell for the new hire.

Oh my gosh. I should congratulate you.

But why hire friends?

Are there any decent people in this line of work?

Better to use puppets, and avoid trouble later.

I'll send you the details again by text.

No mistakes, please.

Then...

All right.

I'll do my best.

You said it was May 30?

Can I find my own clothes?

I've got a nice dress.

No, I'll prepare it.

It'll cost you money.

It's okay.

I didn't buy it for this kind of work.

Just once I got a one-year sentence and did some time.

That was just before my daughter's wedding.

My daughter didn't like me, and she went ahead without me.

But I had gotten myself a good dress.

If you don't mind, I'll wear that.

Very well.

- Let's have a nice wedding. - Yes.

I'll try my best.

You'll look pretty in a wedding dress.

It'll be nothing special.

His parents are really good people.

Treat them well.

Yes, of course.

Also...

The nickname I had growing up was Turtle.

Turtle?

Yes, Slowpoke Turtle.

Please...

be kind to my Slowpoke Turtle.

She's a good girl, but she's a bit sluggish.

Ever since she was a child, she's done everything slowly.

She's not lazy at all.

She's just slow by nature.

Slow but diligent.

So as her parents-in-law, please be good to her.

I raised her as my treasure.

You did very well.

Did you finish your coffee?

Yes, it was sweet and tasty.

Then shall we go?

Have you eaten yet?

Yeah, I did.

Did you?

Me too.

Looks like you drank, too?

Yeah, a bit.

It shows even if I drink a little, right?

What will you have?

Black tea, please.

Yes, just a moment.

What's that?

I always told you off for ripping paper.

Now you're tearing apart these pretty flowers?

They're just flowers.

They're dead anyway.

How is work?

Well, not bad.

Is your skin okay?

That eczema bothers you when the seasons change.

I was scratching before you came.

Don't scratch it.

I get it treated at a clinic.

You need to strengthen your immune system.

I take ginseng these days.

Is that enough? Eat lots of vegetables.

Take propolis, that's effective.

Sure.

And don't make excuses, get regular health exams.

I do.

My company requires it.

After I pleaded with you all that time?

The company is scarier than you.

Good for you. Marry the company.

Are your preparations going well?

For what?

Marriage.

I don't know.

Something not going well?

That tastes good.

It should be going well.

He doesn't listen to me.

Why not?

Wasn't he desperate to marry you?

I don't know.

Maybe he thinks I'm captured now.

Who could ever capture you?

I told you I'd be all yours.

No way...

I was serious.

That's a shame.

You really think so?

We fixed the date.

When?

Fall.

Fall? When in the fall?

Just think of it as the fall.

Why the fall, and not spring?

He needs to go to New York for a few months.

He asked me to come, but I refused.

We'll do it after he gets back.

Watch yourself for now, then become his wife.

Though I can't imagine you being cautious.

If you tell me to break up, I will.

Why would I say that to you?

Say the word and I'll come back.

I can't support your lifestyle.

You say that, but you'll marry someone else.

If it's someone who can work with me, probably.

Do that in two years. Not before.

Why?

For appearances' sake.

I don't know what appearances you're talking about.

Why should I be alone?

Don't be alone.

Be with me.

You need to get married.

Marriage is marriage.

We can meet on the side.

Just live cautiously.

You just told me I can't.

So I'll have an affair with you.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

That's okay.

You refuse?

Yeah.

Then...

just until the wedding.

Let's have an affair until then.

He's going to be in New York anyway.

Let's be together.

You don't want to? Tell me.

You don't want to?

Never mind.

I asked if you want to.

I don't.

You think I'm trash?

Why don't people take the same path as their feelings?

You made a choice.

Me?

I didn't decide anything. I was forced out.

I'll stay with you tonight.

I'll be good to you.

It's tempting.

He's given in...

No, I haven't.

I'll go to my home tonight.

And you'll go to yours.

That's the choice you make.

And that I make.

You're mean.

I have to be, if the path I take is different from my feelings.

You should have decided that earlier.

I'm doing it now at least.

The ground looks pretty after the rain.

It does.

Did you bring a car?

Yeah, there.

Didn't you drink earlier?

I'm sober now.

That one?

Yeah.

I'll walk you to the car.

No. It's his car.

The dash cam will record it.

Really?

Then I'll go this way.

Okay.

Nothing to say to me?

No.

Forget it.

Yesterday...

I dreamt that I slept with you.

I still want to sleep with you.

I know.

And in the dream, we kept walking together.

Where to?

Just here and there.

Yeah.

I won't call you again.

That's for the best.

- Bye. - Yeah.
