Sorry, it's just funny that you're asking that question so seriously.

I'm sure Tae-o has.

I've been pretty all my life. I've never had an ugly phase.

I'm sure there were moments when we were attracted to each other.

But they were nothing more than fleeting moments.

The feelings meant nothing.

Anyway, I understand.

I'll come by your workplace unannounced

and be inconsiderate.

That's a promise, right?

Why did you ask me that, though?

I was just curious.

When you ask about someone else's feelings,

I think you should first fully understand your own feelings.

But, it's hard to be certain about your feelings, right?

Is there a book you like?

Yes.

I'll carry them for you.

Wait. Since we're here, would you like to see my dad's photo book?

Yes, show me.

What do you think?

Wow, I've never seen such impressive photos before.

I don't know much about photos, but they're great.

Where was this taken?

In Germany.

This forest doesn't even have a name.

I was worried when my dad went there.

I couldn't contact him because he had bad phone reception.

Does he travel a lot?

"A lot" doesn't do it justice.

Traveling is his life.

Our home...

is a place he stops by now and then.

Don't look at me with such pity.

I don't mind my dad's lifestyle.

My dad said, "Live your life doing

what you enjoy, since you only get to live once." He taught me that.

That's my life's motto too.

What?

You're really pretty.

You said you'd let me join the club if my video made you laugh.

Let's do something else... instead.

Something else?

Go out with me.

I don't like that phrase.

It's so childish.

I like it.

"I like you. Let's go out.

Let's go steady."

I hate that people find those expressions childish.

I think trust between a man and a woman

is supposed to be built up gradually, one step at a time.

That being said,

I'll consider it a yes.

Sure. Whatever.

Yes!

Ga-rin, you don't have to be scared. It's just a power outage.

Seriously?

I should sort these out before I forget.

NO TITLE

Hey, don't you know how to knock?

Were you watching porn?

I wasn't.

What? Why?

Isn't it obvious? I'm here to recycle.

Why can't you clean up after yourself?

Jeez, you're disgusting.

Hey. Do I have to clean when you're here living rent-free?

Sure, fine. I'll clean up after you, Master.

Want some help?

Yes, and buy me ice cream too. Deal?

Jeez, my hand is freezing. You hold it.

No, I don't want to.

Seriously...

You are so annoying.

What are you working on? You barely come out of your room.

Is it a school project?

I'm working on the video I have to submit in order to get into the film club.

You have to do that?

That's one snobbish university club.

They should treat new members like kings and queens.

No one joins clubs these days.

Actually, joining the club is just an excuse...

to ask that girl out.

I've made an incredibly romantic short film.

First, I'll set the mood and then be bold and ask her out.

What if she says no?

Well... I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Men should act first before they think.

If they think first, then they'll lose the opportunity to act.

What's with that face?

Don't get excited. The train has already left.

I'm a bit jealous. I'd like to be asked out in such a way.

I see you got dumped.

How can I get dumped when I haven't even asked him out yet?

Hey, the guy is supposed to make the first move.

Gosh, what era are you living in? The girl can make the first move too.

Jeez, Song-i!

You should date a man who's willing to put in the effort for you,

not a guy who makes you wonder if you should make the first move.

I'd like that too, you know.

You're unbelievable.

Damn it.

How has it been with Do-hyeon?

Well, we run into each other since we have classes together...

but we hardly speak to each other.

Jeez, I hate the awkwardness.

Can't you two just bury the hatchet?

What's there to bury? It's not like we argued.

We're not mad at each other, either.

We didn't technically fight, but it feels like it.

Well, you don't have to apologize to him directly.

Act like nothing's wrong, but also act like you want to make up.

Just smile and act like you always do.

-That's better sometimes. -Right?

That'll be much better than bringing up that day.

Yes.

Look at you all grown up.

You even know how to give advice.

I know.

This is where we first met.

We were like three or four.

The boy and girl who used to play on the playground together are

all grown up and are giving each other advice on relationships. It's so weird.

Let's get one thing straight.

I'm announcing my relationship

and you're the one seeking advice.

Did you have to put it like that?

Hey!

Good girl. Now go throw it in the trash can.

Hey!

Throw it away yourself!

Hey!

CONFESSION DAY

Here.

Just fill out the highlighted sections.

-I'll get you a new device. -Right, thank you.

Thanks, Ga-rin.

I'm not sure if I should accept something so expensive.

There's no need to thank me.

Thanks to you, I'm getting a new phone, too.

Right?

Well, I promise to invite you to all my shows.

I'd love that.

Also, I'm only asking just in case.

Do you actually have money?

Don't worry.

I'm not stupid enough to come to a store without any money.

-Right? -Yes.

I only asked just in case, that's all.

I brought this much today.

Hey! You can't just take out bundles of cash from your bag like that.

Besides, who carries around cash like this these days?

-Is there something wrong with that? -What?

I'm off to the production company. What about you?

I'm busy today, too.

I have an interview for a part-time job at a supermarket.

Why do you want a part-time job when you're loaded with cash?

I want to try things on my own, starting with small things.

I should live a diligent life, like you.

Right, I guess we all have our reasons.

Anyway, don't open your bag and pull out bundles of cash at the interview,

or tell them that you ran away from home.

Remember that it's a dangerous world.

Anyway, good luck with your contract today. Go Hun!

Will she be okay all alone?

Gosh, I can't stop worrying about her.

Whatever. You should be worrying about yourself right now.

With a fierce look in my eyes,

I'm going to ask to be paid the big bucks.

Beware, everyone! I'm coming!

What the hell?

How did you know I was here?

Your dad told me when I went by the store.

He said you went out on a delivery.

Why were you at the store?

Well, I was in the neighborhood.

About the rent...

Well, I'll talk to my dad about it.

Don't. I'll get really mad if you interfere.

You already took it out on me when we played basketball.

I've known your dad for some time now, too.

Your dad isn't someone who will budge when his emotions are appealed to.

Do-hyeon...

just as you didn't choose to be your dad's son,

I didn't choose to be the son

of such a mean scrooge either.

Still, for you, it comes with perks.

Fine.

I apologize for having a more privileged life.

That's why when we go out,

I pay for the meals and the drinks.

I even let you win when we play basketball.

It hasn't been easy for me, either.

Let me win? You lost because you suck at it.

That's not true.

-Let's see you play properly, then. -Sure, let's do this.

Just so you know...

I love my dad.

I'm proud to be his son.

You just made me sound like an ungrateful son.

Well, enough about this.

Hey, I'm going to ask her out today.

Who? The girl on the cover of Campus Naeil?

-Yes. -Are you confident?

It's not about being confident.

I like her and that's all that matters.

You should stop being vague with that girl you like

and just end it if she isn't worth it.

I'm going to ask her out, too.

Things have never been vague. We're just at a slower pace.

I'd like to have a girlfriend and I want it to be her.

I'm up for dating...

if it is with her.

What?

You are serious.

When will you do it?

Soon.

I have things to take care of first.

Will I finally get to see you with a girlfriend then?

You'll get front row seats.

Sounds fun!

Is she pretty?

Yes.

Ryu Se-hyeon!

Look up.

Open it.

What's this?

It's something that'll make you laugh.

What's that?

-Gosh. -What is this?

What's this?

-You're quite good. -No, it's nothing.

It's better than expected. Hey, open the curtains.

-Oh, sure. -Is he confessing his love to her?

-He is, isn't he? -He is.

How can one say no to that?

Right?

-Hey. -Tae-o, I'm impressed.

You did well.

-It was great. -I think she liked it.

I think she did too.

-Say yes. -She does like it.

-Accept his proposal. -I think so too.

She likes it.

You laughed, right?

You laughed. Right?

Yes!

-You did well. -I'm excited to join the club.

-Good job. -That was great.

You're in. I love it.

That was great.

Are they our club's first couple, then?

Just let us be in love!

A swing?

Oh, didn't the employee who called you tell you?

You were cast as a swing, not as a part of the ensemble.

Well, a swing is...

You mean I'm an understudy.

Well...

In professional terms, yes.

From the supporting cast to the ensemble cast,

if an actor suddenly becomes unavailable,

you will fill in that spot.

Of course, you'll be paid for every show performed.

Well, does that mean...

I might not be able to perform at all?

That's never the case.

Big or small, accidents always happen.

Still...

we're the biggest musical production company in Korea.

The pay will be more than what others can offer.

How much more are we talking about?

It's 70,000 won per show and tax will be deducted.

Are you kidding me?

You weren't kidding about the pay.

Gosh, thank you.

Right. I hope we get along well.

Gosh, that's probably still hot.

Oh, I was just thirsty, that's all.

Then what's the verdict?

Did I pass the audition or not?

So I did pass the audition but I might not get a chance to perform.

But since I'm still getting paid, I can't say I failed either.

Is this a joke? My contract fee was only a million won.

Damn it. I thought that passing an audition would make me happy,

but nothing's changed.

Hold on a second.

I wonder if Ga-rin is doing well without me.

SIWON RAMYEON SAMPLING EVENT

You're doing well.

Scoop some into the cups

and offer it to the customers. Easy, right?

-Yes. -Good luck, then.

Try some ramyeon!

There's a new kind of ramyeon. It's delicious!

What else? What else do you like?

Festivals.

When I was in the UK, I went to the Glastonbury Festival.

And for three days straight, I drank and saw bands perform.

It was so much fun.

I never knew there was such a festival.

I like to surf as well,

although I've never tried it in Korea.

-I hear surfers head to Gangwon Province. -Right.

Just say the word and I'll take you there.

You'll take me there on your scooter?

I can always rent a car.

If so, then I'll drive.

I like driving.

Is there anything you can't do?

Talking to you makes me realize how inexperienced I am in life.

Do you know why I like you?

Tell me.

-I want to know. -You're honest.

Whenever I tell guys I'm good at something,

they are just busy saying what they're good at, too.

Not you, though.

I can tell that you are genuinely amazed. Not everyone is like that.

Want another bottle?

-No, I should get going after this. -Already?

I'm watching a movie with my mom. I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.

I was going to take you home today.

Maybe some other time.

I'll get going, then.

-Sure thing. -Bye.

Drive her home safely, sir.

Yes!

You're the man.

Hello, housemates!

Look at you, Tae-o.

I thought you were just a playboy, but you've been the busiest of us all.

Hey, is she pretty?

-She's the best. -The best?

Just how pretty is she?

How does it feel to finally be dating?

I'm on cloud nine.

I feel bad enjoying this alone,

so you guys should start dating someone too.

Bring her over sometime. I'm dying to meet her.

Right, I'll invite her over...

Would you invite your girlfriend over when there are three parasites at home?

What? You jerk.

Didn't you just call us housemates? That girl has ruined you. Damn it.

That reminds me.

You said you'd leave once you passed your audition.

Really? Did I?

Find a place to live once you get paid.

Don't even think about going back on your word.

What...

DAD

Is he seriously going to rain on my parade?

Just a second.

Hi, Dad. This is unexpected.

Damn, I had no idea he was going to bring that up.

Talk about a crisis.

So how did the contract signing go?

What role will you be playing?

What?

Oh, that. Well, you know...

Well, I'm not sure just how often I'll get to perform.

Nothing's set yet.

I see.

As a tutor?

Song-i's already busy enough.

She doesn't have time to tutor Yeong-ho.

Damn it.

Whatever. Don't you dare ask her about this, though.

If you do, I'll never see you again.

Is that clear?

Was that your dad?

It's nothing you need to know.

I'll do it.

I'll tutor your brother.

What's wrong with you? I'm trying to help you here.

Come to think of it, it'll be easier that way.

It's something I can do to have a clear conscience.

Also, if I do this, I'll feel less guilty when I see your dad.

Song-i, seriously--

I can't ignore the money.

I'd rather pay it with my time than be in his debt.

I'll go to him tomorrow and tell him myself.

I'll do my best to tutor Yeong-ho.

I will take responsibility and make sure he gets good grades.

Why should you be responsible for him?

Anyway, call him back and tell him.

Say that I'll do it.

But...

She really should worry more about herself.

My gosh!

What time will you be going tomorrow?

About 5 p.m.?

I'll go with you.

You really don't have to.

You're doing what makes you feel at ease, and I'm doing the same.

I'll see you there at 5 p.m.

I honestly can't believe her.

Hi, Se-hyeon.

How was the movie?

I see.

Okay, good night.

I'll see you in your dreams.

Congratulations, Tae-o.

Someone you like likes you back.

That's something to congratulate.

Save it. I don't need your congratulations so just don't irritate me.

I'm going to do what I want to do.

Whatever. Just go to bed.

Tae-o and Song-i went to school and Ga-rin is at work.

Being here alone makes me feel like I'm jobless.

Still...

I'm now a professional actor.

Who are you?

Hello. Is this your residence?

Well, I guess you could say that.

-So do you live here? -Yes.

We're looking for someone.

Have you seen her around this neighborhood?

MISSING PERSON NAME: O GA-RIN, AGE: 23

165CM, SLIM, LONG WAVY HAIR

WHITE DRESS, BEIGE SHOES, PINK SUITCASE

REWARD: 10 MILLION WON

Gosh, I dropped my ice cream.

So who is...

I mean...

Who is she to have...

a 10 million won bounty on her head?

Is she...

a criminal?

It's not a bounty, but a reward.

Ms. O's safety is very important.

Ms. O?

DAEBAEK GROUP O GA-RIN

DAEBAEK DEPARTMENT STORE HITS RECORD HIGH SALES

DAEBAEK FOUNDATION SUPPORTS TRACK ATHLETES

MISSING PERSON NAME: O GA-RIN, AGE: 23

She's really from a rich family.

What do you think?

It's cool.

What is this, though?

It won first place in last year's international internship contest.

The contest is famous for its prizes.

You get to be an intern for three months, in three different cities,

with all expenses paid.

Do you get to live abroad for three months, then?

Yes.

This is an internship for the biggest media company in Korea.

There will be a lot to learn.

Traveling is an added bonus.

Good luck, then.

I know you'll win the contest if you put your mind to it.

Why not join me?

-You mean that? -Yes.

Well, I'd like that but...

would I be of any help?

Have you heard of beginner's luck?

That's how it is with contests.

It's the projects with slightly amateurish but untainted perspectives

that get noticed.

Just like the video you made me.

I see you really liked it.

Yes, I loved it.

I'll think of the theme

and do the editing.

Can you manage the filming...

and help me with my other school projects?

I just want to focus on the contest.

Sure, I'll do all of them for you.

I'll submit our application, so don't worry about it.

Right. Do you have to go now, though?

I have to go to class.

What time does it end?

At 5 p.m.

But I'm meeting my professor afterward to have some tea.

Let's have dinner together, then. I'll pick you up at six.

I might not be done by six.

Don't worry. I'll wait for you as long as it takes.

Sure thing.

Who the hell is it?

Are you really going to come?

I'm fine, so you don't have to come if you're busy.

YUN JEONG-GIL

Song-i, wait up!

Are you sure about this?

Yes. It's the only way I'll feel better.

All right, fine. But promise me this.

Don't act like you're beneath him.

Hold your chin up high, okay?

Got it.

The kid Song-i first tutored had the lowest grades in school.

You know the type. The kid was like Yeong-ho.

However,

do you know what happened to him after he met Song-i? What happened again?

The kid went to one of the top high schools.

That's right, one of the finest.

-Is that so? -That's why you must treat her well.

She's like a modern-day Moses.

She makes miracles happen.

We're going to treat her well, so cut it out.

Why are you making such a fuss?

I'm saying that you need to work hard, you jerk.

Got it?

Song-i, when did you get so pretty?

Did you even listen to a word I said?

Call her Ms. Han from now on.

He's just like his dad, gosh.

How embarrassing.

I'M DONE FOR, LEAVE ME

I HATE CIRCLES AND FIGURES THE CLAW HERO KING-GOD-CRAB

Well, we'll take it slowly, step by step.

I heard you're studying in the College of Engineering

You must be really popular.

I told you to call her Ms. Han!

Stop hitting me on the head. I'll get dumber.

-You're already dumb! -Damn it.

You can get going now.

I'll talk to Yeong-ho. I'll handle this myself.

She's right. Just go.

Fine.

Treat your tutor with respect.

Damn it.

Can you excuse me for a minute?

Thanks, Tae-o.

I'll see you at home.

Good luck.

If he doesn't listen to you, just hit him on the head.

Right, Se-hyeon.

Maintenance?

Yes, the building at the intersection with the coffee shop.

I'll manage and clean all the floors, including the rooftop.

Why? I have other people for that.

I'll do it for free.

-For free? -In return...

please reconsider raising the rent of my dad's store.

I was just at another building of yours.

You said it's the market price, but the rent was 700,000 won more.

Let me manage the building and keep the rent as is.

You won't suffer any losses.

Do you know how tough the maintenance job is?

Buildings age like people.

The pipes burst and walls get moldy.

You must keep the place clean and fix what's needed.

Sweeping the floors isn't enough.

But if you still want to, go ahead.

How can I say no when you came all this way?

Thank you, Mr. Yun.

Oh, are you done already?

The classes will start on Friday.

We just went over the basics today.

Fancy meeting you here.

I agreed to tutor Yeong-ho from now on.

Today, I just came to say hello.

I'll leave you to it, then.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Does your dad know that you're here?

No, I didn't tell him.

Well, your dad sure has a decent son.

Not everyone can strike deals with adults at your age.

-Did the talk go well? -Yes.

I wanted to see you before I left.

Good.

I see we're both trying to make ends meet.

I know.

You were pretty impressive today.

If someone I liked was as smart and mature as you,

I wouldn't mind if he's not that well-off right now.

My mom told me to see the man's future, not his present.

So...

do you approve of my future?

Yes.

Will you be home this evening?

Yes.

Got it.

What do you mean?

I get that you'll be home this evening.

Tell me today.

Where do you live?

Can you pick me up whenever I want you to?

Of course. I'll even come by at dawn.

Go this way. I'll give you the directions as we go.

This way?

Okay.

Will you be at home this evening?

I wonder why he asked me that.

What is his intention?

Wait. I know this place.

Really? Do you live close by?

No, not me. It's where my friend lives.

I should stop thinking about it. It's time to take action.

Go to him if you want to see him.

I picked it up on the way.

Would you like to go on a date with me?

They reminded me of you,

so I bought some.

This is it.

What's with that face?

Is the house not up to par?

No, that's not it. It's just...

my friend used to live here.

Your friend?

Are you talking about the girl who used to live here?

-Do you know her? -Yes, her name...

What was it again?

-Han Song-i. -Yes, Han Song-i.

We go to the same university.

-How do you know that? -We have a class together.

Really? Which class?

Do you have to talk about another girl...

when you're at your girlfriend's for the first time?

Oh, sorry.

It's just that we've been friends since we were kids.

I came here often, so I'm familiar with the house.

It's just weird to think that you live here now.

It's such a coincidence.

I guess so.

All right, then.

From now on, no talking about the past when you're here.

I won't.

That's for your mistake.

Good night, then.

If that's my punishment...

then I'll keep on making mistakes!

The reward will be much better, though.

She sure is experienced.

Song-i's sensitive about her housing issue as it is.

Why did it have to be her old house, of all places?

How long have you been here?

Oh, I just arrived.

Are you going somewhere?

I just couldn't sleep.

So I thought I'd bug you instead.

I saw...

the flowers.

I wanted to give them to you in a cooler way.

They're pretty.

Thanks.

Did you come by to give me these?

Yes.

So what were you up to?

Well,

I was just looking at some things.

I should dry these if I want them to last longer.

They're just flowers.

They're more than just flowers to me.

You chose them and bought them while thinking of me.

It's the thought that counts.

Song-i...

Yes?

You see,

even if I work all week,

I barely make enough money.

Watching movies, having meals,

drinking coffee

and having a drink at a bar...

What is natural for other couples...

might not be so easy for me.

And...

I'll only be able to take you out once or twice a month.

I don't have a lot of time,

so at times, we will have to cut our dates short.

You say that it's the thought that counts...

but that might be...

the best I can give you.

So?

Will you be...

okay with it?

Our dates will be poor and crappy.

Will you be okay with it?

If you're okay with it...

then I'll do my best.

I'll make up for what I lack.

Will you go out with me, Song-i?

That's not it.

What?

I like you.

I like you, Song-i.
