EPISODE 9

His handwriting looks
exactly like Do-san's.

Yes, it's the same as Do-san's.

My birthday.

The same handwriting

and the same birthday?

How?

Once again,

the wind was turning into a storm.

Just like that day 15 years ago.

Do-san! Nam Do-san!

Yes, I'm coming.

-Look! My son is here!
-My gosh.

-You smarty-pants.
-Come and eat.

Hey, about the Mathematical Olympiad…

-Was it for middle school kids?
-No, high school.

See? I was right.

My gosh, that is so impressive.

-Who do you take after?
-Does he have a tutor?

Come on.
You know that we can't afford one.

He takes after me. Don't you remember?

I used to be so fast on the abacus.

165? No problem.

It runs in the blood.

Like father, like son!
I envy you, Seong-hwan!

Just use your hands and eat off the bone.

Yes, that's it.

-He'll become even smarter.
-My goodness.

Back then, I had solved
all the questions except for just one.

I used to solve
that type of question very easily,

but I struggled with it that day.

At that moment,

a gust of wind suddenly
blew in from somewhere.

15TH MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIAD TEST

PROVE THAT P(N) = Q(N)

And that one line

from the solution caught my eye.

I thought that wind

was a blessing.

But that one line.

Because I saw that one line,

-I forgot the fact that I had solved
-Smile!

nine questions on my own.

GOLD MEDAL NAM DO-SAN

Why the heck are you crying?

You lost to a kid. Aren't you embarrassed?

My gosh, I understand why she's upset.

That poor boy is crying.

The medal felt so heavy.

Why yell at him in front of everyone?

So I ended up…

You can have this. I don't need it.

What?

Why give away your medal

of all things?

Our boy never gets greedy.
He's so compassionate.

He's always so giving.

That wasn't why I gave it away.

I didn't deserve the medal.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

That gust of wind
in the exam room that day

was not a blessing.

GOLD MEDAL NAM DO-SAN

What is the problem? Tell us.

Why would you drop out?

You got into college
six years before your peers, so why?

Tell us. Why did you do that?

Do-san.

Later on,

that wind turned into a scary storm

that destroyed my self-esteem.

It's just for an hour.

Please pretend
to be the person in the letters.

It's so pretty.

The luck that came with the wind.

I seized the luck.

Give this to Ms. Seo.

-Why do you have this?
-I found it while cleaning the car.

And once again…

We'll have two iced Americanos.

What kind though?

I want this one.

-That one? The orange one?
-Yes.

-I'll take this.
-The orange one.

Sure.

Here.

I looked everywhere for this.

Where'd you find it?

-In the office.
-Oh, the office.

Hey, Do-san.

Yes?

There's something I want to ask you.

What is it?

Just like that day 15 years ago,

I was falling apart, slowly but surely.

Don't you think this coffee
goes so well with this cake?

Yes, it really does.

CAN BE GOOD OR BAD DEPENDING ON
RISK FACTORS THAT COME WITH AN INVESTMENT

What's with her face?

It keeps changing every second.

She's responding
to the reviews on NoonGil.

THANK YOU

A good review, I guess.

That's a bad one. Now entering
keyboard warrior mode.

Look at that. She'll break the keyboard.
Goodness.

I guess our CEO cares a great deal
about reputation.

Excuse me. Can I ask you a question?

Is this Injae Company's office?

No, their office is just down the hallway.

I'll show you.

Oh, thank you.

He's holding a carton of eggs.

What?

What brings a loser like you
to our amazing office?

You have a visitor.

This is it.

Who is Ms. Won In-jae, the CEO?

Can't you tell?

Everyone is working very hard

except for this lady over here,
who's doing nothing. Right here.

I'm Won In-jae. How can I…

You! You're the one
who's trying to get all of us fired!

-Please calm down, sir.
-Let go. I said, let go!

You need a lesson!

-Hold on, sir!
-Let go!

-Hold on.
-Who do you think you are?

-Stop him!
-Calm down, sir!

How dare you! Who are you to get us fired?

Hey!

Dal-mi, are you all right?

Yes, I'm okay.

Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm okay.

-Ms. Won, are you okay?
-Are you hurt?

How dare you get us fired?

Who do you think you are?

-I won't give up! I'll be back!
-God…

-This is nuts.
-I know.

Let go of me!

What was that about?

He works
for Haun Engineering and Construction.

He's about to be laid off
because of Injae Company's

unmanned security system.

Who cares about money
when you have no compassion?

Who cares about compassion?
It won't make you money.

Why are they so serious?

He's very rude.
Is he a hotshot or something?

Yes, I'd say he is.

He even has
an exclusive resort membership.

So what? He forgot why he
started this in the first place.

That's my type.

I like rich, arrogant guys.

I wonder which resort it is.

A resort membership? Who doesn't have one?

I own a vacation home.

-Oh, that place!
-With a private beach.

Really? I'm surprised.

I told you that my family
has a maesaengi farm.

We built a nice hut
to scare off the ducks,

but the beach view from the hut is…

Kota Kinabalu?

Santorini? Forget it.

They are no match for it.

You can see the most beautiful

sunset in the whole wide world.

Oh, right. Now's the perfect time
to go there.

It'd be nice to go for a drive together…

Hey, where are you going?

I'm not making it up!

Guys, you tell her.

-Wait.
-You can even dig clams on the mudflat.

The view is spectacular, for real.

From temperature to humidity,
everything's perfect.

Excuse me. Who are you?

I'm Choi Yang-won.

CHOI YANG-WON

-You're a reporter.
-That's right.

Hey, Dal-mi.

Hold that thought. I'll go first.

I don't want any misunderstanding.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't read
too much into what I did earlier.

-What you did earlier?
-Yes, it was a reflex.

I would've done the same thing
even if it were someone else.

I have exceptionally strong
protective instincts.

I'm selfless to the bone.

My friends say I should run for office,
but I don't care about politics--

So just forget about it, okay?

Okay.

That's it?
Weren't you going to say something?

No, nothing.

You were going to say something.

You have a tail.

A tail?

Damn it.

-What's that?
-You scared me.

The Demo Day is coming up, you know.

I've pulled some data.

DEMO DAY: WHEN START-UPS CAN PRESENT THEIR
PRODUCTS AND BUSINESS MODELS TO INVESTORS

I heard 2STO has its eye on a team
in the 12th residency program.

Rumor has it that you want them
in Silicon Valley.

Is it true?

Go on and spread that rumor, please.

Come on. I know you have
a specific team in mind.

Which team is it?

A team with a vision, of course.

A vision?

Which one is it?

A profitable one?

Or one with more users?

Obviously, one that will bring us
a ton of money.

-You came together?
-This doesn't mean anything.

-We ran into each other.
-I wish we hadn't.

-Right.
-Yes.

Ms. Seo, you have a meeting
with Mr. Han, right?

-Yes.
-Wait in the meeting room.

-He'll be here shortly.
-Okay.

-Ms. Won, please come with me.
-Sure.

I heard that you were attacked.

Yes, but I'm okay.

Someone from Haun Engineering
and Construction, right?

Are you working on a project with them?

Yes, Jeonghan Bank
put us in touch with them.

They wanted
an unmanned security system using AI.

Yes, I heard.

And I hear that the security guards
are protesting at the moment?

Yes.

We did see that coming,
but we didn't think

they'd cause a scene here

and attack us, a mere solution provider.

Do you think they were merely
causing a "scene"?

Pardon?

You see, I've never been worried
about you or your projects so far.

However, your choice of word
concerns me a little.

If it wasn't a scene, what was it?

I'd call it…

a risk.

-Because it's dangerous?
-No.

A risk means a possibility of loss.

It's different from danger.

You should be well aware
of the difference by now.

I noticed that
you've been responding to every review

and arguing with hate commenters.

Well, some of them
are just too aggressive.

One called NoonGil a hot mess
for draining battery life.

There are many other expressions.

Such as, "room for improvement"
and "disappointed."

Why call it a hot mess?

Way to discourage the developers.

Amateurs react to VoC emotionally,

whereas pros respond to it based on data.

Are you saying I'm an amateur?

Yes.

If I were you, I'd be just as focused
on new users as new customers.

Aren't they the same thing?

Normally, yes. But not for NoonGil.

NoonGil doesn't profit from its users.

NoonGil's customers
are the wealthy who sympathize

with what the business stands for.

At the moment, you only have
one customer, Morning Group.

You need to separate the revenue model
from the business model.

And to draw in new customers,
you have to focus on marketing and PR.

Think about which direction you'll take
for the service's objectives.

Then you can work
on attracting new customers.

For PR…

What? Do I have something on my face?

No.

Utilize the media as much as possible.

Consistently advertise your service

through interviews and newsworthy events
to attract many customers.

I've changed a lot.

I don't really remember
what happened 15 years ago.

No, actually…
I don't even want to remember that time.

I wish

you hadn't known me back then.

-Why?
-Because I was a total loser back then.

You always thought highly of me,
but I wasn't like that.

-You're a genius.
-Indeed.

Just a moment.

I tried increasing the battery efficiency.

If there are any other comments
that make you angry, just tell me.

I'll take care of them.

Okay.

Good morning.

Ms. Won, did you see the news?

The news? About what?

As soon as the news broke out
that Haun was working

with Injae Company,
the company that developed

an AI-based
security manpower reduction solution,

Haun's security guards…

If it wasn't a scene, what was it?

I'd call it…

a risk.

About 100
of the company's security guards…

They're ruining it
when we haven't even started.

…are on strike at the moment.

-Haun will
-He ended up covering it.

-review a secondary plan.
-Do you know that reporter?

Yes. He's Choi Yang-won, a YGN reporter.

I have his business card.

CHOI YANG-WON

He wrote an article about Samsan Tech.

I heard Morning Group
chose Samsan Tech's NoonGil

as its social contribution project
this year.

There is this proverb.

Sir? Do you mind looking at me
while talking instead of the camera?

Oh, sorry.

There is this proverb.

"A fly on a horse's tail
can travel thousands of miles."

What can I do? The young developers
want to ride on my tail.

I should give them the support they need.

That's why I chose them.

Funding NoonGil gave me a lot of joy.

Samsan Tech's being mentioned
on TV again. Amazing!

I'd like to thank Ms. Seo Dal-mi,

the CEO of Samsan Tech,
for this great opportunity.

-Who's Seo Dal-mi?
-Morning Group

-What?
-wishes to partake…

She's the CEO of Samsan Tech.

-Why is she the CEO?
-We're also interested

-What about Do-san?
-in AI and bio projects.

-Hasn't Do-san
-We've put together a task force,

-told you?
-so we can focus on such projects.

-About what?
-As a strategic partner of…

-Hello?
-Hey, where are you?

Me?

I took Dal-mi home.
I'm on my way home now.

-What's up?
-Don't come home now.

The threat level's been raised to red.
Sleep somewhere else.

Why?

Did you not tell your parents
that Dal-mi is the CEO?

Anyway, don't come home tonight. Okay?

I have to go.

Why did Chairman Won do that interview
without telling us?

That's not important now.

Why didn't you tell your dad about Dal-mi?

Who signed the agreement?

I did it with my dad's seal which I stole.

You're nuts. I can't believe you did that.

That's considered forgery.
Do you want to go to jail?

I guess he was more scared
of his dad than jail.

I'll tell him everything
when I get home later.

You're so dead.

That's why I'm drinking now.

I don't think I can deal with that sober.

What will you tell him?

You should rehearse
what you're going to say. We'll help you.

Okay.

I'm sorry I lied to you, Dad.

I'm not good enough to be a CEO,

yet I acted like I was
and fooled you for too long.

"I bet she lured you

into handing over the CEO position
to her." What if he says that?

No, Dad.

I was always

a good-for-nothing,

and bluffing about starting a business.

I was wrong.

I'm sorry I'm such a loser.

You're being ridiculous.

If you're a loser, what are we?

-Shitheads?
-My point exactly.

You won a coding competition,
for God's sake.

But you know, Dad…

Because I was wrong,

I stumbled upon fireworks.

Fireworks? That's so random.

I made a wrong turn

and stumbled upon fireworks,

but it looked so cool.

Why did you do it?

I wonder why, too.

Why did I do it?

Why did you lie?

At first,

I did it because I liked seeing you smile.

Then what about now?

I didn't want you to cry.

I didn't want you to cry…

like you're doing now.

This is crazy.

What do I do?

Hey, Do-san. Get up.

Why did you drink so much?

Do-san, wake up.

What do we do? Where should we take him?

Let's call Ms. Seo.

What?

-Where? Here?
-Yes.

Right here.

What happened to him?

I was with him earlier.

Right, he drank a little after that.

"A little"? He's wasted.

Did something happen?

Ms. Seo.

Can Do-san stay at your place tonight?

What?

If he goes home like this,

his father will beat the crap out of him.

We'll have to plan his funeral.

If we take him,
his father will raid our place.

Can you help him out?

Well, I'm not sure if…

It'll be hard, right?

Yes, it will be. But I'll try.

Hey! Come on, Ms. Seo!

We'll take you guys home, of course.

Hey, call a taxi. I got this, okay?

Hey, Do-san. Time to go home!

-No…
-All right. One, two!

-Can you give me a hand? One, two!
-My gosh.

-There we go. We're good now.
-Goodness.

We're all good now. It's okay.

Don't worry. I got this.

-Are you all right?
-I'm fine!

I can do this alone. I got this.

What's going on?

Mr. Han.

Oh, what a useless coincidence.

Did you hail a cab? Hey!

Hey!

I'll actually kill you.

Don't you dare.

-I got goosebumps.
-What's happening?

Sir! Can you please give me a hand?

What's he saying?

What?

The fireworks…
I'm sorry I made a wrong turn.

I'm sorry.

What's with him?

Why don't I take him to my place?
He'll be more comfortable there and…

No, I'll just take him to my place.

Please drop us off there.

I'm sorry…

-Gosh.
-Do-san, are you okay?

Hey, what's wrong?

-Hey.
-Do-san.

-Do-san?
-Hey, Do-san.

-I'm about to throw up.
-Do-san.

-Do-san. Ms. Seo? Can you please…
-Yes, hold on.

-Hey, no!
-Come here.

-Do-san, I'm driving.
-Hey, come here.

Yes, you can lean on me.

-Are you all right?
-Did he throw up?

No, not yet.

"Not yet"?

Why did he drink so much?

My question exactly.

This fool doesn't even know
how much he can drink.

-He must be heavy.
-Not at all. He's light as a feather.

He's a weakling. I think he has
text neck and osteoporosis.

Where should I take him?

-This way. Come this way.
-This way?

Gosh, he's so light.
My featherlight brother.

Oh, boy.

Gosh, my arm, legs, shoulders and back.

What? You said he's light as a feather.

Goodness.

A huge rain-soaked feather!

No, forget that.
He's like a rain-soaked elephant.

Elephant… No, elephants are cute.

What else is there?
Something heavy and annoying…

Something annoying as hell.

Gosh, my blood sugar has hit rock bottom.

Oh, dear. It looks like Do-san
had an upset stomach.

What?

Jeez, when did this happen?

I guess he puked quietly.

He's so courteous. My gosh.

-"Courteous"?
-Yes.

Did you say "courteous"?

What about this or that
looks "courteous" to you?

Quiet! Dal-mi will hear you.

Come out and wash up.

Well… This is the only T-shirt
that would fit me, right?

I have this, too. Would you prefer this?

No, it's okay.

I'll wash this before I return it to you.

Gosh, don't bother. Just keep it.

Okay.

Well, I'll get going then.

You said your blood sugar
has hit rock bottom. Eat with us.

Have dinner with us
if you haven't eaten yet.

Then I'll just stay for dinner.

Here, this is yours.

-Let's eat.
-It looks delicious.

-Eat up.
-Thank you.

Oh my.

Why am I here?

I was with my buddies
until a few minutes ago.

Your buddies ditched you,

so Ms. Seo and I brought you here.

Hey, come join us. You must be hungry.

Scoot over.

Here you go.

You know, I…

That soup is mine.

I ate dried pollack and whelks,
so I don't know why I'm hungry again.

Because you threw up everything.

Right here.

No, on me.

You should get changed, too.

Thanks.

Is your stomach okay?

-Do you have a headache?
-No, I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

It must've been hard for you.

No, it's okay.

Do you want to sleep here tonight?

-Can I?
-You nuthead.

Yes, of course.
It'll take a while for you to sober up.

Just sleep here tonight.

Then can I…

sleep here, too?

-Sorry?
-What?

What?

Why?

I'd be worried if I left Do-san alone here

because we're very tight.

Or you can come with me, you know.

Thank you for the food.

Jeez.

Gosh, seriously.

You have a king-size bed in your apartment
that overlooks the Han River.

Why would you sleep here?

Look who's talking. Why sleep here
when you have your home sweet home?

Rich jerks are greedier.

What? Did you just call me a jerk?

What did you just say?

Oh, my apologies.

Let me rephrase that. "Rich men."

Rich men are greedier, I suppose.

Why are you calling me greedy?
What did I do?

In some sense,
you have more to offer than I do.

What? What do I have that you don't?

Lots! So many things.

You're 4cm taller than me.

I have text neck.

You're younger than me.

You're in your 20s,
whereas I'm in my mid 30s.

You own a river-view apartment
and that crazy expensive watch.

You have…

Jeez, what am I doing right now?

Fine! Good for you that you have nothing.

That's right. I have nothing.
That one thing is all I've got.

I have only one thing
and that's everything to me.

You're taking it away from me?

Then let's change.

Take my river-view apartment
and that expensive watch

in exchange for that one thing.

No, thank you.

-Jeez.
-Gosh, seriously.

It's hot in here.

It's hot.

Get me some water.

NOONGIL 4.4 STARS

LEE SO-YEONG

I visited Gangju with my daughter

who is losing her vision.

NoonGil told her that there were
countless beautiful sunflowers

in full bloom along the road.

I just wish she could have seen it
when she still had her vision.

Then it would've been easier
for her to fully understand

what NoonGil meant
by the word, "beautiful."

I was always too busy with life

to show her such beauty
when she could see it,

and I really regret it.

This ended up being
a pointless venting session, not a review.

You wrote that it's pointless.

But to me,
it's more valuable than anything.

You want her to see
and remember more beauty.

I can totally relate to it.

I'd also like to gift the person I love

with the most beautiful scenery

so that I won't regret not doing so
in the future.

-Where's Do-san?
-What?

He's not here.
His bag and clothes are also gone.

He left already? Without saying bye?

No way.

DO-SAN

Goodness.

Hello?

It's Sunday. What are you up to?

Nothing much. Hey, where are you?

Then let me take you out on a date.
Ms. Choi too.

Now? A date?

-My grandma, too?
-Me?

What is this?

-Did you buy a car?
-I will, later on.

This is a rental. Hop in.

-It's an electric car.
-Goodness.

-Where are you going?
-Somewhere far.

-What? Come again?
-I said, somewhere far.

But where?

Why? Will you follow us again?
This is our date.

"Date"?

Jeez.

Are you sure I can tag along
if this is a date?

Of course, you have to come with us.

Where are you taking us?

A place that's more beautiful
than Santorini.

-There's a place like that in Korea?
-Yes, there is.

-Look! The ocean!
-My gosh! The beach!

Santorini!

-This is amazing!
-Better than Santorini.

-Grandma!
-My gosh!

Grandma!

Wow, it's so beautiful here.

It's really nice here, isn't it?

Oh, my.

Gosh, she's so excited.

Grandma!

-Grandma!
-Don't run. Okay, all right.

Don't be amazed just yet.

It's so beautiful at sundown.

The view from here is just breathtaking.

With that island and everything.
This view right here.

-Hey, Do-san.
-Yes?

Can you go borrow a hoe
and a pair of rubber boots from someone?

Pardon?

-Why do you need them?
-You'll see.

-Go on.
-Okay.

-Shall I go?
-No, I got it.

-Hurry.
-Okay.

It's so nice here.

My gosh, this is a big one. Let's see.

This isn't right.

-Ms. Choi!
-Yes?

Look over there, please!
The sea looks so beautiful from over here!

Beautiful, my foot!

It's not like the scenery
will give you food to eat!

Gosh, that silly goose.

Oh, my!
This will last us for at least a week.

This is not why I brought her here.

You must've read my comment.

What?

Well, it's…

Thanks.

Isn't the sea so beautiful?

Yes, it really is.

Oh, another one! This is a big one.

Yeong-sil.

What do you see now?

A man and a woman who seem to be a couple
are standing on a beautiful beach.

Do-san wanted you to see this, Grandma.

Yes.

I'm grateful.

Grandma, you asked me a little while ago
which one I liked better.

The Do-san from 15 years ago
or the Do-san I know now.

Right, I did.

Could they be two different people?

What are you talking about?

Well, I just keep getting a weird feeling.

I'm being weird, aren't I?

Yes, you are.

You know that's nonsense.

And you like Do-san.

Yes, I do.

I like him so much that…

Grandma.

It scares me a little.

I have many questions for him,
but I'm scared to ask.

It's ready! Come on over!

-Okay!
-Let's eat!

-Let's go, Grandma.
-All right.

-The best grilled pork belly ever!
-Really?

Hey, do you know if any convenience store
in the area needs a part-timer?

I've been walking around
but didn't see a single hiring sign.

Who puts up a sign like that these days?
Everyone uses the job search app.

Job search app?

You don't know what an app is?
A mobile application.

Oh, that.

Hey.

It looks like we made a wrong turn.

I'll be right back.

The road ends here.

DO NOT ENTER
END OF ROAD

We should go back.

What are you looking at?

Wow, I've never seen so many stars
in the sky.

Me, too.

It's good that we got lost.

-Dal-mi.
-Yes?

Shall we wander around more?

I guess you don't want to go home.

No, it's not that.

Did you fight with your parents?

No.

How could I fight with them?

It's just… You know.

Just what?

I'm just

not a good son.

I feel bad because
I'm always letting them down.

I think I get it.

You want to be as bright as the moon

but feel as though you're just a star
as tiny as a dust particle. Is that it?

Yes.

-Dal-mi.
-Yes?

Strictly speaking,
that wasn't a good analogy.

Those are fixed stars,
whereas the moon is a natural satellite.

The stars may look like
tiny dust particles,

but most of them are much larger
than the moon.

Both mass and energy-wise.

This is why people talk shit
about engineering majors.

Yes, this is why.

I think it's a good analogy.

You're that star over there, the one
that looks like a tiny dust particle.

A fixed star

that is much bigger than the moon.

So don't run away.

I'm sure your parents
will realize it eventually, like I did.

Dal-mi.

Yes?

I'm sorry.

For what?

Just…

For making a wrong turn.

Seriously, there are so many stars.

And that's huge.

Those clams will last us
for good ten days…

No. For a month, I'd say.

Hey, don't underestimate yourself.
I'd say a week at the most.

Gosh.

-Grandma, what is this?
-What?

Oh, that. I made a poster
to find a part-timer.

No one looks at it these days.

I'll post it on the app for you.

It's okay. You don't need to do that.

Many still don't know
how to use stuff like that.

I'll just hire one of those people.

TEMP AGENCY

Hey, did Do-san get home safely?

I'm sure he did.

-I'll see you later.
-All right.

He really hasn't called you, right?
I hope you're not lying to me.

No, he really hasn't.
Why would I lie to you?

Why isn't he picking up?

-You punk!
-Dad.

Hey, what is wrong with you?

I gave you money
so you could start your business.

Do you think I gave you
my hard-earned money

so some random girl could take over?

-I'm sorry, Dad.
-Let go of him, honey.

What are you doing? This is embarrassing.

Did that girl lure you

into handing over the CEO title?

No, Dad. She's a lot more qualified
for the title than I am.

I'm really a nobody, Dad.

I'm a good-for-nothing
bluffing about starting a business.

I'm sorry.

You're not a good-for-nothing.

You were the youngest person

to win a gold medal
at the Mathematical Olympiad!

Dad…

I cheated that day.

I'm sorry.

What?

A good-for-nothing
has been acting like a genius.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I feel like I always disappoint you
no matter how hard I try

and how well I do.

This has been killing me inside, Dad.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

THE 15TH MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIAD
GOLD MEDAL NAM DO-SAN

Is Dad okay?

He's not okay, of course.

But he'll be fine.

Don't worry.

Do you feel better now?

Yes.

I mean…

Yes, I do feel better now.

I'm sorry I feel this way.

You owe me an apology for something else,

not that.

Hearing about you through someone else…

That's really hurtful.

Not being the first to hear about it
hurts me more

than finding out about what you did.

Is Cheon-ho more important to you
than your own parents?

I'm sorry.

Yes, you really should be.

Is she ashamed of something?
Why is she hiding?

Are you being like this

because you have feelings for Dal-mi?

No.

I do. I told you just now.

-I sit like this
-Yes, show me.

-And? Do you do both?
-and knit the knit stitch.

Why did you do that?

Why did you go to great lengths to
help us even if it meant you had to lie?

Well, that's…

Ms. Seo, I'm--

Dal-mi!

But where?

Why? Will you follow us again?
This is our date.

An ad. Someone put up a hiring poster!

Ask and you shall receive! No, hey!

What's your problem, lady?

Sorry, I'm in a bit of a bind right now.

What a load of crap.
I'm the one in a bind.

Never judge a book by its cover.

I'm really struggling financially
right now.

You're young, so you have many options.

What's that thing called?
Yes, you can use the job search app.

Thank goodness.

CHEONG-MYEONG CORN DOG
HELPER WANTED

FREE CORN DOGS
CONTACT OWNER CHOI WON-DEOK

Mother? Why is she looking for help?

CHEONG-MYEONG CORN DOG

No, I can't work with my mother-in-law.

I'm too old for that.

This is still better
than dealing with that jerk.

Gosh, still…

I'm too ashamed to even face her.

And you like Do-san.

Yes, I do. I like him so much that…

Grandma. It scares me a little.

I have many questions for him,
but I'm scared to ask.

-Are you worried about something?
-What?

Hey, what brings you by?

-I'm here to return this.
-What?

I told you to just keep it.

You know I don't like to do that.

It's still bright and early.
Why were you sighing nonstop?

I'm just a little worried.

Looks like Dal-mi is suspicious.

What? Of what?

She's suspicious of both you and Do-san.

Gosh, what do we do?

Right, that letter!

Maybe I should go find it.

-What letter?
-You know,

she was looking for Do-san a while back
to meet In-jae.

Don't you remember

the cherry tree in front of
my old corn dog shop in Seonju?

She said she left her letter there.

I should find that letter
and give it to Do-san.

If he shows her the letter,

she'll stop doubting him, right?

Seonju is far from here.
That's such a hassle.

Gosh, forget it.

Hey, I'll be back in no time
if I take the express bus.

But why must you do all that?

This way, I can make sure
both Do-san and Dal-mi won't be hurt.

Then what about me?

What about you?

I don't want you to do that.

I don't want to lie to her anymore.

-What are you talking about?
-I'm out.

I'll go tell Dal-mi that Do-san is a fake

and apologize for lying to her.

But you told me the other day
that you didn't want to disappoint her--

Yes, that's right.

But I hate this even more.

-Ji-pyeong.
-I'm sorry, Ms. Choi.

I lied to you that day.

I actually…

have feelings for Dal-mi.

There's something I want to ask you.

Hearing about you through someone else…
That's really hurtful.

DAL-MI

DAL-MI

You can't do this.

-Why can't I?
-Must you ask?

You know that Dal-mi and Do-san
are happy in their relationship.

But I'm not!

I keep thinking about her,

I want her and it feels so unfair.

What the heck am I doing?

Why didn't you tell me back then?

You can't tell her now.

-You can't do that to them.
-Why not?

Why can't it be me?

-Ji-pyeong.
-Yes, you're right.

This is wrong. None of this
should've happened in the first place.

I wish I had never met you.

I was doing just fine.

I didn't lack anything!

You got me with that nickname, Good Boy,

and I got too nosy for my own good.

I acted like an idiot,
just like back then.

Ji-pyeong!

-Are you all right?
-Yes.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

It's raining? The weather forecast
didn't say it'd rain today.

Right?

Who knew it'd start raining
all of a sudden? Gosh.

Shall we run over there together?

I can't let you get soaked in the rain.

Hey, come on. Let's run.

-No, get lost.
-Come on!

-Get lost!
-Come on. Run!

Damn it!

Is it raining outside?

Yes, it's pouring right now.

Like a torrential downpour.

The weather forecast didn't say it'd rain.

-Where's Do-san?
-Well…

I'm sure he'll be here soon.
Freezing and soaked in the rain like us.

Ms. Jung, lend me your umbrella.

Is that really how she wants to be?

Dry yourselves. You'll catch a cold.

-Does this mean…
-A green light?

I'm taking this home.

Hello?

Hey, Yong-san. It's me.
Are you with Dal-mi right now?

She already left with an umbrella.

-Where did she go?
-To the subway station

so you won't get soaked in the rain.

Okay, thanks. See you.

SAND BOX ENTRANCE STATION

Ji-pyeong!

I'm sorry.

I'm…

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry I got angry at you.

I'll go to Seonju.

I'll find Dal-mi's letter

and give it to Do-san.

This stop is Sand Box Entrance Station.

You may exit on the right.

CHEONG-MYEONG CORN DOG

Lord.

I guess this is karma.

What should I do?

Do-san.

I sometimes wonder.

That spring, everyone and everything
seemed to be leaving me.

Without your letters,

what would that spring have meant to me?

I would have grieved

over fallen flowers rather than enjoying

the flowers in bloom.

The only thing I remember

from that spring would have been
losing the person I love more than anyone…

DO-SAN

Oh, why is this here?

DO-SAN

…without even getting to say goodbye.

Thank you for being there for me

that spring.

Thank you for your letters.

Back then, I believed that you existed.

Now,
I want to believe that you exist, Do-san.

I miss you.

So I think it's time for me

to find you,

Nam Do-san.

Ms. Seo.

What are you doing here?

I took my grandma's phone
instead of mine by mistake today.

SAND BOX ENTRANCE STATION

What? This isn't my phone.

But I noticed a strange message

that popped up on her phone.

I came here out of curiosity.

How do you know this place?

Did you know my grandma

before you met me?

Who are you, really?

SAND BOX ENTRANCE STATION

Please leave a message after the beep.

And who is Do-san?

Mr. Han, please…

Say something!

Hey, Dal-mi. It's me, Do-san.

Hey.

Your grandma said you took her phone.

I kept calling you.

-Do-san.
-Yes?

You know, the place where we used
to leave our letters 15 years ago.

Remember that spot?

What?

Where is it?

Dal-mi, that's…

Answer my question. Please.

Dal-mi, where…

Where are you? I'll come over now.

Why can't you answer my question?

And why is Mr. Han here, not you?

Dal-mi.

That's…

Well… Hello? Dal-mi.

Please…

The phone is turned off. You will be
directed to voice mail after the beep.

Extra charges may apply.

The wind

has turned into another storm,

and it's coming at me once again.

Was it fun?

You should say it isn't true.
You should say you are the real Do-san.

Does my dream have to be about
becoming successful? Can't it be a person?

Not everything started
because of a favor I asked.

Now that I know everything's fake,
I feel fake, too.

You made Samsan Tech
into what it is today.

Come to me like you did before.

You

were my dream.

Erase everything you know about me

up until now.
