Dad's heading out.

Okay.

Feed Oscar for me.

All right, you have fun.

Oscar, why are you so down?

Are you hungry?

Daniel, you...

Oscar's food...

I don't like her.

Dad.

Can't you break up with her?

If you don't,

maybe I should go back to Mom's?

I used to feel so tired but fulfilled after my shift.

I've been walking on eggshells around the director.

It feels uneasy.

I know, right? We have so few expecting mothers.

I've been enjoying the downtime, actually.

Hey, if you're not busy, that means we're overstaffed.

Especially us.

I'm feeling kind of blah, and I've got so much pent-up energy.

What do you say we go out for a team dinner?

- Sounds great! - I'm in!

- Count me in. - So where are we going?

- I'm feeling grilled intestines. - What? I'm craving lamb skewers.

- How many rounds are we going for? - Hi, Do Hyun.

- At least three rounds! - Then lamb skewers for round one.

- What? - Yes, I just got off work.

Sashimi sounds good too.

- Do Hyun, are you drunk this early? - What's going on?

This is bad.

Do Hyun.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

Want to walk for a bit?

"I'm fine."

"I'm fine."

All he ever said was "I'm fine."

But...

there's no way it could be fine.

That should have been obvious.

I really had no idea.

Of course you wouldn't know.

No one ever knows things like that.

They don't say a word or give any sign...

because they're desperately trying to hide it.

I...

want to get along with Daniel.

Why?

You don't think I can?

No.

It's just that...

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Let me handle it.

Daniel has his own pace and his own way of doing things.

I don't know when that will be or what it will take,

but I'll just have to watch closely for an opening.

And who knows? It might happen sooner than expected.

Seriously, I...

Jun Kyung...

I never expected you to say that.

Daniel's feelings...

I can't control them,

and this is going to be hard on you too.

"What if you decide to leave me?"

"What if you abandon me?" I was worried like that.

Goodness, spoken like a true artist.

So dramatic.

(Catholic Church)

Two single adults, a man and a woman,

spent the night together.

Consensually.

What seems to be the problem?

Well...

- It's not so much a problem... - Was it just a one-night stand?

No, I wouldn't call it a one-night stand.

Then it's love, I suppose.

Well...

- I wouldn't say it's love... - Well...

Brother, what is troubling you the most right now?

We first met back in kindergarten, you see.

So?

What I'm trying to say is,

what if this goes wrong and ruins our 20-year friendship?

- That's what I'm worried about. - So what if it's ruined?

Sorry?

I said, so what if your precious 20-year friendship gets ruined?

Well...

(Parishioner)

It's occupied.

Hey, come on out.

Sorry?

I said, come out.

Aren't you a little old to be getting beaten up like this?

I didn't get beaten up, Father.

- This was an act of retribution. - Good grief.

You really are your father's son, aren't you?

What?

Just drop the "Father." Talk to me like you used to.

All right, Chang Sik.

Right, so...

This is one of those "between love and friendship" things, isn't it?

The classic, boring dilemma.

You can't just sum up our relationship that simply.

Back when we were in school,

you remember what was up with me and Jun Kyung, right?

Could you even call that a "thing"?

If I had to put a label on it,

you chased my uninterested sister and told everyone she was your girl,

until my mom threw a bucket of water on you. That "thing"?

Back in the prime of my passionate youth,

I wonder why I gave up on Jun Kyung, instead of enduring the humiliation.

What?

Back then, I chose friendship.

I was torn between love and friendship.

Yes, right. Some "great friendship" that was.

Hey...

- You were never my sister's type... - Shut it.

Friendship, my foot.

I just didn't have the courage or the confidence.

It was a loser's excuse, plain and simple.

Are you sure you don't actually like her?

If you don't like her, why are you agonizing over it?

(Editor-in-Chief's Office)

He looks perfectly fine.

Gosh, what a jerk.

Listen up!

I know this is sudden,

but our marketer, Beom Jun, just quit on the spot.

He feels bad for leaving so suddenly so he's treating us all tonight.

Let's all get together after work,

so he can show off how rich he is before he leaves.

He said he's buying the good stuff!

See you all later! I'll treat you to something good!

How cool is that?

Quitting his job for love and heading to Europe indefinitely.

I wish I were your age again, Beom Jun.

Come on, Chief. It's not too late for you.

- I lack the guts and the ability. - Ability has nothing to do with it.

That's only for guys like him who treat work like a hobby.

So where in Europe are you going?

She said she wanted to visit Estonia,

so I think we'll start with the three Baltic states.

The Baltic states? I've only read about them in books.

Where are the Baltic states?

- So he's really going? - She's actually going?

Looks like it.

- To think she kept denying it... - Gosh.

- Just knock it off. Hey, enough. - Gosh, cake!

Now this is more like it! It's a farewell party, isn't it?

Is that what you went out to buy?

Congratulations.

Enjoy your open-ended Europe trip with your girlfriend.

Goodness, Hye On...

Right.

You're just being true to yourself. I'm the idiot here.

- Wait. - What's this about?

Wait, why?

(Towel General Trading, Commemorative Towels)

Don't say that! Of course, we can do it for 300 or more.

For crying out loud. Be quiet. I'm on the phone.

No, it's nothing. Yes, please, go ahead. Yes.

We'll take care of that for you. Yes, thank you.

Gosh, Jin Ho!

What brings you here without calling first?

Hey, there.

Yes, sir. I just sent you a text. Did you get it?

Yes, that's right. A hundred each of gray, pink, and white.

Yes, I'll need them by the 15th. All right, thank you.

You have to understand her, Jin Ho.

You know what she's like.

What's wrong with her? She's wonderful.

Wonderful? Did the fiery pit freeze over or something?

A person has to have some...

I'm not asking her to be like a soft, fluffy new towel.

But still, you know? Gosh, she's just so abrasive.

She shouldn't be like an exfoliating towel, at least.

What was that about an exfoliating towel?

You scared me.

When did you get back?

- What about the shop? - It's empty. Now hurry up and go.

What?

Right.

Jin Ho, I'll come visit you soon.

When my sister brought you home and said you were getting married,

everyone was dead set against it. It was a whole ordeal.

- Can you blame them? - Right?

Think about how old you two were.

But do you know that I was the only one on your side?

Of course I do.

My sister asked me why I was for it.

What do you think I told her?

I said you seemed so dorky. You'd never be popular with women.

So I was sure you'd never cheat on her.

What am I supposed to say to that right now?

But listen, it's a huge misunderstanding.

- It really is. - I mean,

while my sister is alive and well,

do you really think you have the guts to cheat on her?

Of course I know you don't.

Right?

I've spent over 20 years living with a man...

who jokes around with people who won't even pay their debts.

Maybe it's because I'm more cynical,

but seeing my husband act like that just drives me crazy.

If...

my husband got into an accident and ended up in that state,

and for seven years, I had to clean up all his messes,

put up with his temper,

and wait on him hand and foot, I...

I could never do it.

But I bet he would do it.

Because he's a fool in that way.

Even though she's my own flesh and blood,

I only thought about how much my poor sister was suffering.

I never considered...

how hard it must have been for you. I'm sorry.

No, it's all right.

I still can't bring myself to be happy for you and her.

No, I don't think I ever will be.

You took such good care of my sister.

I was so grateful for that.

I really mean it.

- You should get going! - Go on! Hurry! Go!

Walk straight, will you? Walk straight!

- Having fun? - Yes, a blast.

Let's go for round two.

Why are you always here?

Is this the only place you can go?

Is my place some kind of crash pad?

Why are you...

- being so prickly? - What are you doing here?

- And what happened to your face? - I asked why you're here.

I felt like I should come...

and say I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for?

For me,

it hasn't been long since Sol and I broke up.

- And... - Enough.

My feelings are my own problem.

I don't expect anything from you.

So you don't need to say anything else.

Right.

Actually,

there is one thing I want.

What's that?

- I'll do anything I can... - That internship of yours.

Promise me you'll go back to it.

You said you regret doing nothing for your mom before she passed, yes?

And you know I'm invested in this too, right?

So go back,

and you'd better treat me to something nice.

And...

stop walking on eggshells!

Some people can just up and quit their jobs and act so shameless,

break up on a whim, and even go on a trip to Europe together.

But you and me...

Why are we such pushovers?

Gosh!

You have no idea how happy you've made me.

You...

coming all this way to see me.

Daniel!

I came to tell you something.

Oh, no.

Gosh.

Hey, kid! Watch where you're going!

What is wrong with you? A child fell and is hurt!

Hey, I didn't hit him. The kid just...

- He fell all by himself. - He's a child, just as you said.

You should've asked if he was okay before anything else.

Look, there are cars everywhere. He shouldn't be riding that here.

Who are you to butt in, anyway? What are you, his mother?

Yes.

I'm his mother.

Let me see.

I'm sorry.

For saying you're my mom?

No.

For not asking if you were okay,

or if you were hurt before anything else.

I had plenty of chances, but I didn't.

I told my dad...

that I wanted him to break up with you.

I regret...

it.

Why?

I don't like you,

but I don't like seeing my dad upset either.

You don't like me either, right?

It's hard to like someone who says they don't like you.

Gosh.

You should wear pads next time you ride.

But then,

it's not cool.

I'm hungry.

Want to go get something to eat?

Is it not too spicy?

I'm practising.

If it's too spicy, don't eat it. What's the point of practising?

Because I want to get closer...

to people.

Can I ask you something?

Why "Oscar"?

The name of the fish.

Do you...

- want the real story? - Yes.

When I was in Germany,

there was a kid who always bullied me...

and made fun of me. It's his name.

He was the one I hated the most.

I see.

Is that right?

I'm sorry.

I'll change it.

No, don't.

I like that name.

Are you sure it's not spicy?

- The milk helped, didn't it? - This is my first time trying it.

You've never had this before?

I guess your dad never bought it for you.

All right, let's have a drink.

- Try it with garlic. Is it good? - It's delicious.

Help yourselves.

Have some garlic.

- This is so delicious. - I'm glad. Eat up.

Hey, aren't you only looking after our guide?

Talk about tyranny of the tongs.

Tyranny? Come on, I was just...

See? Don't just give it all to me. You have some too, Jin Ho.

- What? - Eat up.

- What's going on with you two? - What's this? What's going on?

The way you two have been looking at each other... Something's up.

What gives? Are you and our guide dating or something?

- Sorry? - Oh, my, he's not even denying it.

- No way. - Gosh, what's going on?

For real?

- What? - What?

Yes, we're dating.

- I knew it! - What a development.

Your turn to sing one.

No, I'm a terrible singer. You should sing another one.

What, did you just come to watch? If this is a concert, you must pay.

- Come on, get up here! - And just sit there clapping.

- I can't sing... - Hurry up and pick a song. Come on.

- I'll sing. - Yes!

Goodness.

("Love Battery")

All right!

Fill me up with your love

Fill me up!

I think my love battery has run out

I can't live without you, I really can't live

You are my battery

- Battery! - Battery!

- You enjoyed today, Ja Yeong. - I did.

I know. Who would've thought that one trip together...

would lead to us getting so close? It's really something.

You know what made me really happy today?

Not having to hide us, or worry about what anyone thinks.

Me too.

Ja Yeong.

Can I ask you for a favour?

How about you do me a favour first?

And then I'll do yours.

Deal.

What is it? I'll do it.

Sing a song for me.

What?

No, I can't. I'm a terrible singer. No way.

Then I guess I can't do your favour.

Hey, that's not fair! I mean, come on...

How about I give you a piggyback ride instead?

- No. - But I'm really terrible at it.

Fine. But don't you laugh.

Now?

Right here?

When and where else?

Don't laugh.

Promise.

Promise.

By my side

Don't laugh.

Just stay

By my side

Don't you ever

Leave me now

I can't leave this longing behind

And travel so far

Just to find

Your rainbow

In the blowing

Cold and biting wind

You may cry from loneliness

But I will always

Stay here by your side

I will never leave

I'm a terrible singer, aren't I?

Not at all.

I loved it.

Really?

So now,

tell me what your favour is. I'll do anything.

Ja Yeong.

The thing is...

Dinner with your family?

If you're pressured, we can wait.

Pressured? Why would I be?

Really?

Then bring Daniel along.

I've already told my dad and Jun Seo about Daniel.

So, if Daniel's okay with it,

let's all meet them together.

Okay.

Thanks for dropping me off.

No, I'm the one who should be thanking you today.

Is that all? Just a "thank you"? Aren't you forgetting something?

Dad?

It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.

Yes. You too.

- Dad. - Yes?

You should've called first.

I was just leaving a meeting nearby...

and thought I'd stop by.

Okay.

He's a handsome guy.

- He seems like a nice guy too. - Yes, he is.

- Goodness. - Oh, no.

- Gosh. - Here's a napkin.

Thanks.

- I'll get it. Let me. - Okay.

- He seems like a good kid. - Yes. Right.

- Well... - Well...

- Go on, you first. - No, you go first.

- I'll go first. - Okay.

Do you want to grab a meal with me and Ja Yeong sometime?

Is this too sudden?

I don't mean to put you on the spot. It's just...

I'd like that.

Let's all have a meal together.

Are you sure?

- Go on in. - Okay.

- Hey, Jun Kyung. - Yes?

- Never mind. Go on, go inside. - Dad...

- Yes, go on in. - Okay. Get home safe.

- I will. - Okay.

We have a story from our listener, Midnight.

Late nights at the convenience store where I used to work.

Always around the same time,

always dressed the same,

a customer would come in to buy the exact same beer.

What?

She never said much,

and her face was always blank.

Seeing her like that...

somehow felt like I was looking at myself.

I guess the dead of night is just like that.

A time when you can't hide.

During the day, you can pretend to be happy,

pretend you're not lonely,

whether you're happy or lonely,

you can hide somewhere in between.

But you can't do that in the dead of night.

It tells you that you're not in that gray area.

It's a time that makes things perfectly clear.

- She never asked me anything, - She never asked me anything,

- without saying a word, - without saying a word,

but her presence was a comfort.

For being there with me,

I wanted to thank her for being like me,

but I couldn't.

Then one day, she stopped buying beer at that hour.

I was relieved.

(Police Exam Prep: Criminal law)

It felt like she wasn't lonely anymore.

Thank you.

If we ever happen to meet again,

the next beer is on me.

Gosh.

Didn't you say you felt like none of this mattered anymore?

Yes. That's what I told you.

That was just one week ago.

And now, all of a sudden, it all matters again?

I thought none of it mattered anymore,

but I realised there's still something important to me.

No wonder. I thought you were sentimental for a science student.

I'm sorry.

Aren't you embarrassed? Breaking your word so dramatically?

I am embarrassed. Very.

Does this count as trying?

Gosh, it's so hard to be fair.

Hye On! Did Professor Park Jin Hyung's endorsement come in?

- Yes, I just sent it to print. - Right. Marketing.

- Yes. - The writer's interview schedule.

Yes, I'm confirming it now.

- Hurry it up! Faster! - Right away.

I decided to take the internship again.

It was all you back then,

and it's all you now.

(I decided to take the internship again)

(It was all you back then, and it's all you now)

Bean paste...

Oh, my! Raphael!

Hello.

- Father, fancy seeing you here. - It is, isn't it?

We're with the Father to give communion to a new member.

- I see. - Raphael, how have you been?

Yes, I've been doing well, thanks to your prayers.

You're looking so well.

You seem much more at peace.

I am, thank you.

But I've heard it's not always that simple.

The first year after losing a spouse is a critical time.

You still need to finish your shopping.

It's just that I'm so worried about you, Raphael.

Oh, my, Father! Look who's with Raphael...

Jin Ho. This should be enough, right?

And you are?

This is...

She's my girlfriend.

Ja Yeong, please say hello. This is the priest from my church,

the one I told you about. These are parishioners. Say hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- We should get back to shopping. - Yes, of course. Go ahead.

Honey, let's go check over there.

- Oh, no, I'm sorry. - No, it's okay.

One, two, three, four.

I should get out some more.

- Smells good. - Want a taste?

Sure.

Be careful, it's hot.

It sounds like someone's here already.

You're here early.

Yes.

Hello.

Hello.

This is...

Well...

Jun Kyung, could you come taste the soup for me?

Sure.

What do you think?

It's a little...

bland, I think.

Really?

- I thought it was fine. - You did?

Maybe it is okay.

Maybe it is bland.

I can't really tell...

- What is it? - What?

No, it's just...

The seasoning seems fine,

but why do you two look so comfortable with each other?

So, should we let it simmer a little longer?

No, it might get too salty if we do. I think it's fine as is.

Dad, are you okay?

Hey, this thing won't stick properly.

What? I haven't seen that before. Is it new?

Yes, I just bought it.

I wasn't sure how much I'd use it, but I figured I'd find a use for it.

Good call.

I'm home.

- Hey. - You're home.

Hi, Bom!

You remember me, don't you, Bom?

Have you been a good girl?

Hello.

Hi. Hello.

He's handsome. Good thing he doesn't take after his dad.

What? Hey, I clean up pretty well myself.

See, Ja Yeong? Smoke always finds the best-looking person.

I'll get it.

Yes?

Jun Seo.

- It's been a while. - Yes, it has.

Goodness.

- Come on in. - Thanks.

Come on in. Go say hello.

Hey, come on in.

Good to see you.

- Hello. - So you must be Daniel.

Look at you. Handsome, just like your dad.

- Here, this is for you. - You really shouldn't have.

- Come on in. - Okay.

Hello.

- Hello. - Are these for me?

They're so beautiful!

- Go on, have a seat. - Come on in.

Thank you for the food.

- Eat up, everyone. - Looks like he can't make one yet.

When eating meat, you've got to add some garlic and peppers like this.

- Here you go. - Why are you doing that?

- Dad. - Just one more. Let's add one more.

- Dad, come on! - Spice cuts the grease. It's great.

- So? It's good, right? - This is crazy. No!

- What? Why? - Drink some water.

- I can't with him. - Goodness.

Dad!

(She finds him exasperating.)

("Such a Dazzling Moment")

(A new book by author Jeong Hyang)

Gosh, honestly.

I swear.

- He can't handle spicy food. - Here, eat it like this.

- Oh, no, you don't. Absolutely not. - Are you okay?

- Yes. - Just swallow it. Just get it down.

- Do you want to spit it out? - Look, his face is all red.

- What should we do? - I'm going to step out for a bit.

- Okay. - Let's all have some water. Cheers!

(Seo Jun Seo)

(Matna Pork Cutlet)

You're eating that dry pork cutlet by itself?

Excuse me! Could we get an order of jjolmyeon here too?

What was that for?

Not seeing you for a few days,

and not being able to talk to you,

was kind of...

torture.

I didn't realise it until now,

but the truth is...

I think I like cutting up your pork cutlet for you.

Yes.

What are you talking about?

I like stealing a bite of the pork cutlet I cut for you,

and the pork cutlet I cut,

all the noise you make when you eat it.

I like it.

So...

- So, what? - So this one's on me.

That's it?

Hey, come on.

I'm a student.

Here, eat this too.

Open up.

Is it good?

Yes.

- Tasty? - Our uniquely chaotic..

And sweltering summer...

was coming to an end.

And just like that, the seasons turned.

And new seasons...

took their place.

One season taught us that things we were terrified of...

weren't such a big deal after all.

Car number 15, you have passed.

And a season that brought the joy of seeing us,

once so clumsy, grow more alike.

And a season that welcomed the end...

of something we planned for long.

Congratulations on quitting.

Congratulations on quitting.

But no matter how much we anticipated and prepared,

there was a season...

when sorrow was simply inevitable.

For coming into my life as my daughter,

for making me a mother,

thank you.

And so, the bitter,

healing,

warm,

exciting,

and cold seasons...

steadily...

passed us by.

And now...

a new spring...

is beginning.

(Welcome, Seongeun University freshmen!)

Five minutes left.

If you're still stuck on it, it's a lost cause.

Hey, hold on a sec, TA.

Fine.

Those five minutes are part of your hard-earned tuition,

so knock yourself out.

Hello, TA.

Hey, Long time no see.

Tell me about it. It's been forever.

- Hello, Professor. - Hello.

Gosh, I'm jealous.

- Professor. - You should get on...

Professor Song's good side.

- You never know what could happen. - Gosh, what could I possibly do?

Hey, if you're done, let's grab a bite.

I have a class, so I have to head over to Ansan right now.

- Sorry. - Okay, then.

Go on, then.

I'm being so melodramatic, aren't I?

It's pathetic.

It's not like you to be so sentimental, Ja Yeong,

but I think it makes you even sexier.

After dating for so long, they're finally tying the knot.

Of course. It'd be a waste to break up after all this time.

Most people just send digital invitations these days.

I heard they nearly broke up over doing everything by the book.

You're not catching the bouquet.

I'm heading out.

Jun Kyung, you haven't forgotten about next Saturday, have you?

Yes, how could I forget?

- I'm off! - See you!

Get home safe.

Hey, I'm going to be a bit late. The traffic is awful.

Did you get the flowers?

Oh, man. It'll take even longer if I have to find a flower shop.

Gosh, seriously. I'll get them. Just get there.

Drive safe. But hurry. Just be careful.

(Hanse, Strongest in the World!)

I thought you'd never change

The first time I saw you

Vacant eyes, messy hair a skinny frame

(Daniel Rocks!)

They don't know us

See the truth behind the glasses

Let's go!

Beneath that clumsy exterior an angel

Everyone else is already here.

- Isn't this the exit? - Dad!

- Yes. - Congrats! You were amazing.

I seriously thought you were going to smash those drums.

You were like Aerosmith up there.

Come on, I'm nowhere near that level.

- You must be hot. You're sweating. - Daniel.

Mom!

- Mom? When did you get in? - I got in yesterday.

It's been a while.

Yes.

Hello.

Hello.

I've heard so much about you.

(Love Me)
