[Episode 18: Grilled Flatfish]

From a certain point in time

a suspicious man started appearing in front of the restaurant.

Let's go drink coffee.

Hey, why would we go drink coffee, when we're going to eat noodles?

Oh my, that scared me.

What the heck? That person came again.

It makes me feel unpleasant.

Why is he doing that?

I'm scared.

Could it be that something like that's going to happen again?

- Hey. - Hey.

Sorry. Let's go together.

You're here.

Master, that person came again.

The truth is, not too long ago...

Sir!

Sir.

Something happened to Ryu.

I heard that on his way to my restaurant

something bad happened to him.

I heard that Ryu disappeared after that.

So, couldn't that person be going around looking for him?

Then, you're saying he's from the opposing gang?

Yeah.

Look at his appearance.

He looks exactly like the type.

I feel uncomfortable.

He went around wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night, and in the end...

Still, would that person have done that because he wanted to?

Couldn't a bloody revenge unfold at this rate?

No. He's not that kind of person.

Would he get stabbed on the streets, when he's not that kind of person?

His emergence was certainly unwelcome by everyone.

Then, at last...

- You can't! - Hey!

- Who the heck are you, kid? - You can't.

- Look at this kid. - Mister, hurry up and go.

- You can't. - Hey, go away.

- Mister, hurry up and go. - You'll be scolded, kid.

- A detective? - Yes.

But, you're saying that the two of you are friends?

Why?

Is it weird because a thug and detective are friends?

No, it's not that...

I will get going first because of my part-time job.

Okay.

Also, I'm sorry for what I did a little while ago.

Yeah.

You would've been in big trouble if I was in the line of duty, kid.

- You're lucky that I wasn't. - Yes.

Goodbye.

He's a cute fellow.

He grabbed onto me so tightly and held on stubbornly a little while ago.

It's not like I could just throw him down. It was killing me.

Hey, how would we have known that man was a detective?

What about the fact that the two of them are friends?

They're totally filming a drama.

But, is he really a detective?

- Shouldn't we check his I.D.? - You're right.

We don't have shiny badges like they do in American movies.

It's tacky, but we do have something like this.

He is. I think he is.

I'm sorry.

What would you like to order?

Does this place serve that kind of thing too?

Grilled flatfish.

Do you remember?

Hey, everyone gather around.

Let's end practice here for today.

Organize the equipment, and we have to prepare for the game

so prepare everything thoroughly.

- You all did a good job, okay? - Yes.

Disperse.

Thank you for your hard work.

It's hot.

You're going to do it one more time?

Run!

That's right.

Ryu, can't we go home now?

Just three more times.

I said just follow me.

We're almost there. Let's go.

Hey, I'm telling you, don't do it.

It's okay.

Be quiet.

I'm telling you, let's not do it.

It's cooked well.

It's hot.

It's really cooked well.

Seriously, this would be the bomb if we had soy sauce and mayonnaise.

This tastes really good.

- It's tastes really good. - Yeah, so good.

I can't believe that kid who stole food back then...

became a detective.

Who would've known that I would end up like this.

Who would've known that you would end up like this.

Here is the grilled flatfish that you ordered.

I've been...

going around looking for you a lot.

You remember Yeon Jung, right?

She's very ill.

It looks like there's nothing that the hospital can do anymore either.

It looks like she's preparing.

She says that she really wants to see you before she dies.

Ryu?

That's fascinating.

I didn't hear that he had a detective friend.

Then again, Ryu doesn't talk about himself very much.

Apparently, he was a very successful batter number four.

I'll pour it for you.

But, that's strange.

Master.

What did that detective friend say?

Ryu has constantly been hostile lately.

Didn't that friend say something else?

Did he tell him to betray his gang?

Of course, it wasn't anything like that.

But, it was clear that his old friend's request

was weighing down his heart.

However, he refused that request in the end.

I look around because I smell rice being cooked.

I stop walking busily and walk slowly.

On the path that I walk on every day...

That's right.

Hello.

- You're doing well, right? - Yes.

- I'll see you next time. - Okay.

Two, three.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Chul Min's house.

That's really fascinating. I'm heading there too right now.

- Let's go together. - Sure.

We have to go together.

Let's go.

Have you eaten?

Do you want to go eat with me?

I know a good place.

Hey, Chul Min, what are you going to do if you get caught?

Hey, who am I?

I'm Cham Mi.

Cham Mi?

What's Cham Mi?

A mudfish that's covered in sesame oil.

I see. Because you can wriggle your way out of things easily?

I'm the king of stealing bases at our school.

I'm the best when it comes to stealing bases, right?

It's done.

- Here, eat. - It's fine.

Congrats. I heard that you advanced to the finals.

Yeah.

Listen...

can I ask you for a favor?

Yeah.

There's a sunflower growing in my heart.

I want to ask you if it's okay for me

to let that flower grow toward you by one handspan by one handspan.

Listen...

- Listen, I-- - Answer me...

with this.

Hakuna matata.

It's a necklace of luck.

They say it means that all will go well.

If you come out to the game wearing that

then I'll take it that you're giving me permission.

If you don't, then I'll cut off that flower.

Thanks for coming.

How long has it been since the three of us have met up like this?

We should have a party.

You still don't talk much.

Right?

He hasn't changed a single bit.

I'm the only one who's become wrinkly. I've totally become a short-arm octopus.

Mom.

You're here, Joon Woo.

You should say hello to the gentleman.

Hello.

Joon Woo.

Joon Woo, let's go play outside since your mom's friend is here.

Out!

Again.

It's going to be a fastball this time.

- That man who's Mom's friend... - Yeah.

is he that guy you were talking about last time, Dad?

Yeah.

Then, he must be good at baseball too.

Yeah.

Is he better than you, Dad?

Of course. He's better than me.

Then, let's all show Mom us playing baseball together.

Mom would like that too, right?

Of course.

Your mom will also...

I really...

wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.

If I had just waited until the game...

nothing like that would've happened.

I'm sorry for telling you to come out, when your game is just around the corner.

You're leaving tomorrow, right?

I heard that it's going to be broadcast on television.

Yeah.

Don't forget the necklace.

I'm going to make sure to watch.

This is a nice sight.

Hey, it would make us sad if you have fun by yourself in broad daylight.

It would make us sad.

Jeez, okay.

Play with me, my young lady.

Why are you doing this?

Seriously, stop it!

Ryu!

Ryu!

Stop it!

Apparently, he was disciplined for what happened that day in the end

and was unable to participate in the game.

After dropping out of school, he left his hometown.

Thanks for coming today.

Getting together like that reminded me a lot of the old days.

You know, when we went to Yeon Jung's house

her grandmother would say that guys with a big appetite have come.

So, she would boil a large amount of noodles

and would put them into soup, with sugar mixed into it.

Sugar noodles tasted good.

Should we eat that too, for the first time in while?

Excuse me, please give us a bowl of sugar noodles too.

Okay.

Sugar noodles are a famous delicacy in the Jeollado region.

It's a very simple dish that's made with sugar water instead of broth.

Couldn't the thing that these men miss the most right now

also be the sweet memories from back then?

Here.

Sugar noodles and anchovies.

Let's see.

Do you remember the story of 'The Flatfish and Bok Jang?'

You told that story every time we grilled and ate flatfish.

Yeah.

They lived in the same neighborhood.

They looked close on the outside.

But, the truth is that the two were very greedy

and they didn't want each other to succeed.

So, this guy Bok Jang went to the flatfish's house every day

to steal and eat beans, and his stomach ended up bloated.

That's probably the story of the blowfish, right?

This...

flatfish guy glared at Bok Jang, even as he plunged into the water

and so both of its eyes moved to one side.

Every time I was with you, I...

thought that flatfish was me.

You were good at sports...

and you were better than me at everything.

I wanted you to succeed.

But, I was extremely jealous of you on the inside.

I would think, how is that guy so good at everything?

Man.

On top of that, the three of us...

were all friends.

But, she always only looked at you.

The truth is, I knew that she confessed to you.

I saw her...

giving you a present and gave up.

Well, I knew that she did.

Even so, after I confirmed it with my own eyes...

I really hated you.

You didn't know that I neglected you after that, did you?

After I heard about what happened from her later

I regretted it so much.

That day, if I had acted like I always had instead of being so jealous...

and followed you, pretending not to know, how would things have turned out?

If the three of us were together, then those guys...

wouldn't have picked a fight like that.

No, no.

Even if they did pick a fight...

we could have prevented it from getting that bad by any means.

There's nothing more useless...

than saying what if about things that happened in the past.

We all...

just lived...

our own parts.

Also, this.

It seems that when my house in our hometown was being demolished

this was found.

I didn't know how I should return it...

so I just kept it.

Hey.

A gift's value is in the heart of the giver.

I want you to remember those times... and our Yeon Jung.

Let's eat.

Yeah.

The taste of regret that oozes out bitterly

the more you dwell on things...

even if it's together with sweet sugar noodles

that can't be helped.

I want to invite her here some time.

Are you okay?

Be careful.

However...

we may all be beings hanging over the sea of life

who will be caught...

by destiny's fishing hook all of a sudden one day.

Both now and back in the old days...

I need to grill the flatfish for it to taste good.

Here, this is all grilled.

How's the smell?

It's good.

It looks tasty.

So, everyone...

has no choice but to try their best to live each day they're given

so that they don't have any regrets.

There were quite a lot of stars back in the old days.

Jang Jo Rim.

The forest of music, you say?

I absolutely love it.

They're my friends who were in a band with me.

I came right after work today, so...

Once a partner, always a partner.

We're going all the way with the loyalty of young people.

Call and come when you have the time.

'YPM.'

Seriously, who would've known that

I would get a business card from a big entertainment company like this?

Yeah, I don't think it suits the Jang Jo Rim Band very well.

Wouldn't playing the music they want make a person happier?

I really hate carrying heavy instruments

and getting called a nuisance on the bus or subway.

You already have an answer. Hand it over then.

I'll drop out.

- Hairtail? - Chopsticks?

Why does a guy who's good at using chopsticks look so sexy?

I have a lover.

Should we have a gizzard party today?

- Honey. - Hey.

- You're here. - Did you wait long?

Shouldn't you tell him honestly before it's too late?

[Late Night Restaurant]

I'm getting drunk.

I'm not sure if I can have another glass or not.

I can't do it. I'm just going to go. I'm going home.

Tortilla, tortilla.

Half-moon tortilla.

Tortilla.

What the heck? All the photos spread to other sites.

There are so many comments.

Are our faces ugly?

I'm going to go search for this jerk's personal information. Mamma Mia.

- Tortilla. - Hey, hold on.

Hey, let's Photoshop our photos.

Give it back.

Yeah.

Our oriental medical clinic appeared in an video?

It came out for something good, right?

- For something good? - It's a jackpot.

It's a jackpot.

I should take a photo since I'm at the scene.

Move it, you jerk.

I can't believe I got stuck with a crappy transfer like this.

It's Min Woo.

I'll buy you something tasty.

Seriously, how can she leave first? She's so cheap.

I wonder where they went.

She falls in love so quickly. I knew she would do that.

- Min Woo. - Min Woo.

Damn, I feel empty.

Honey, I want to live with Ryu now.

- We've lived together for a long time. - Honey.

- What the heck? - Go over there.

- Why are you guys doing this? - I told you to go over there.

Oh my.

- I want to live with Ryu. - Honey, come here.

We're going this way.

This way.

Wait for me!
