-Accept my kiss. -Accept my kiss.

About 50 years ago,

when Armstrong first landed on the Moon he said,

"that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Makes me wonder when we are going to take a giant leap of progress too.

Okay, come on then.

What? Right away?

What's tomorrow's test?

Huh?

I will tutor you every night until you finish your exams.

Huh?

So...

The "less materialistic present" you mentioned is...

Is becoming your personal tutor during the exam period.

Huh?

That's it?

What did you think it was?

Get your notebook and come over here.

Oh.

Hey...

I don't think we should be eavesdropping.

Gosh, stop pushing me.

I can't hear anything.

An organization is established with three main points,

vision, mission and task.

-Vision means-- -Oh! By the way,

weren't you supposed to help Zi-ling with her research today?

Were you even listening to me?

This isn't the time to worry about others.

Pay attention to the main points.

Oh.

It just popped in my mind.

Zi-ling is a smart girl.

She'll be fine without my help.

Plus, I already found someone really smart

to go in my place.

What are you two planning to buy for your boyfriends for Christmas?

I'm thinking of buying something for Zhi-shu too.

Don't even remind me.

Yesterday, my boyfriend said,

"Mei-mei, I'm sorry.

I have something really important to do on Christmas

so I can't spend it with you."

Can you believe it?

It's our first Christmas, but we can't spend it together.

Stupid men.

My boyfriend is the same.

He's going to the South on Christmas with his band to open do a concert.

What?

How could they do that?

Exactly.

-How about you? Any plans for Christmas? -Yeah.

-Spending it with Zhi-shu? -Yeah?

No, we're not.

I don't believe you.

On your birthday, didn't you guys...

Yeah.

The bold and passionate, Zhi-shu Jiang.

That day...

Actually nothing happened on that day.

-What? -What?

It's true.

I didn't get a chance to tell you guys earlier

and it was a little difficult to explain.

We were fooled by Zhi-shu again.

Okay.

It's decided then.

What is?

This time, we'll have a girls-only Christmas gathering.

But I...

What?

Can't leave Zhi-shu behind?

Nothing's going to happen even if you spend it with him.

That's true.

Okay.

We'll celebrate together on the 24th then.

-Yes! -Yes!

Great.

-Where should we go? -Yeah.

Give a star as a present?

This seems perfect for Zhi-shu.

But it's so expensive!

$30

NOT NEARLY ENOUGH

With the tree,

it feels more like Christmas.

-Right? -Yes.

I'm going to buy some presents and place them under the tree.

It'd feel even more like Christmas then.

Yeah.

Very nice.

What's wrong?

The present that I want to get is too expensive.

I think I need to find a part-time job.

Part-time job?

Okay.

Let me see what kind of job you can do.

You should come to House of Fortune.

Are you hiring right now?

Yeah.

Ah-jin came up with an idea of making seasonal sets.

But it's a bit complicated so I thought it would be better to hire more staff.

Pick me!

I can do a lot.

Of course! It's fine with me.

You'll pay me, right?

Of course I will.

The salary must be reasonable.

Of course.

Can I ask for an advance?

An advance?

Also, I will not be working on Christmas.

But Christmas is the busiest time! How dare you ask for a leave on that day?

Yue-qin.

You're doing something on Christmas?

Yeah.

I have plans with my friends.

Is there something wrong?

Well, we wanted to invite you both to a party on Christmas day.

A party!

Sorry, Mrs. Jiang.

I already promised Mei-mei and Xiao-sen to celebrate Christmas together.

Oh. All right then.

HOUSE OF FORTUNE

Ah-jin.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I came here looking for you because you kept avoiding me,

I wasn't avoiding you.

I've just been busy lately.

Ah-jin.

Well...

About what happened, I'm partly to blame too.

I hope you don't take it to heart and let it past. Okay?

Yeah.

Friends?

Friends.

IN PREPARATION

Is the water too cold?

You should use warm water. Your hands might become rough.

It's okay.

Never mind.

Huh?

I'll do it.

What? But...

It's fine, really.

Ah-jin.

What are you doing?

Do you think if you do Yue-qin's work you won't have to go buy groceries?

Oh, right. I'll get to it right away.

You mean right now.

-Oh. -Hurry up.

I'll do it.

-Yue-qin. -Yeah?

You go too.

Oh, okay.

Sir!

-Ah-jin. -Yes.

-You're here. -Yeah.

You brought your girlfriend too?

Go ahead and take some more.

You're mistaken.

She's just a friend.

-A friend? -She's the boss' daughter.

-Dong-liu's daughter? -Yeah.

She's grown a lot since I last saw her.

Very cute.

He's pretty good.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Not at the moment.

That's perfect then.

You should marry this cute lady here.

Right? You won't go wrong with my advice.

Yeah?

Oh.

-Okay. -By the way,

I've packed your greens here.

-Here. -Oh.

Thanks.

Here you go.

-There. -Looks good.

-Put this on our tab. -Sure thing.

Okay, thanks.

Ah-jin.

-Ma'am? -Hold on.

Yes?

Ma'am...

Take these with you.

It's okay, ma'am.

You should sell them.

Just take them. I know you love sweet potatoes.

Enjoy them with your girlfriend.

Yeah?

Everyone,

we're having this meeting today to discuss a very important matter.

So, in order to strengthen our teamwork,

let us all go out for some fun on Christmas day.

-I can't. -I can't.

What is this? Are you guys ganging up on me?

Hey, Zhi-shu. We're brothers, right?

Help me out here.

Help me so Zi-yu and I...

Sorry, but I really can't this time.

I have other plans.

The two of you are the club's heart and soul.

Let's go out together, okay?

When are you going to give up such old-fashioned tactics?

Zi-ling.

Let's hang out together with your sister.

I have a date on that day.

What?

Zi-yu.

I have a Dr. Wu staff event to attend.

I really can't.

I'm going to a business party with my family.

-Come on! -Huh?

So... The party that Mrs. Jiang mentioned?

I thought you won't be going.

I didn't plan to, but my dad said an important client will be there.

-He insisted that I go. -Oh?

Then I'm going too!

Fine.

But my mom said you're spending Christmas with your friends.

So you can't make it.

Friendship is priceless.

You've promised your friends already.

You shouldn't take back your words.

Yue-qin Xiang values friendship the most.

SPEECHLESS

Too bad, huh?

It'd be so much fun if you could come.

See you.

Hey.

Hey!

SAD

He did that on purpose.

Your food is here.

-Here you go. -Thanks.

She didn't mix up the orders.

Ah-jin.

Your method seems to be working.

Yeah.

You don't have to tell her the table number and she'll be fine.

Seems like you know her better than me.

Yeah?

-Excuse me, Dad. -Okay.

-Yue-qin. -Yes.

The soup is for that bespectacled uncle.

-Here. -Okay.

Are you okay?

-I'm fine. -Run it under water.

It's okay.

I'll teach you.

You should hold the bowl using wet towels.

-Too bad. -It won't burn then.

Why isn't Ah-jin the one Yue-qin likes?

If it was Ah-jin,

she wouldn't have such a hard time.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

Okay.

Sir, your soup is here.

What a sweet girl.

Have you always been working here?

No, I just started not long ago.

You're really cute.

Thanks.

What's your problem?

Nothing. I was just chatting with the young lady.

Chatting?

Really? You were staring at her.

Not just once, but twice!

You're talking bullshit!

I'm talking bullshit?

-You were clearly-- -Hey!

Sorry, sir.

Your meal's on me. Sorry about that.

-You're paying for-- -What are you doing?

Raising your voice at a customer.

No.

Dad, his gaze was filled with lust.

-You know? -Lust my ass!

-Like a pervert. -The customer is king.

Don't be so impulsive!

-Didn't you see it? -No!

-You-- -Dad!

-I have to go. -Oh.

-You're going home to change? -Yes.

They said we're going shopping after dinner.

-So I have to go first. -Okay.

-Merry Christmas! -Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas! Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

I have to get my stuff first.

Okay.

Merry Christmas.

Are you all ready? We have to go.

-Yes, we're ready. -Okay.

-Handsome boy. -Yes, very handsome.

Yue-qin, we're leaving.

Oh!

You look good.

Wow.

Yue-qin, did you change your mind? Are you coming with us?

Oh, no.

Mei-mei said we should dress up a bit because we're going shopping after dinner.

So I put on something nice.

All right.

I really wish you were coming with us.

You look really beautiful today.

You look beautiful too, Mrs. Jiang.

Thank you.

Very beautiful.

Oh, Zhi-shu is here.

Wow. Zhi-shu, you look very handsome dressed like that.

Am I right?

He's my son all right.

Yes.

-You look beautiful today. -Huh?

Really?

Really.

I wish I could go to the party with you.

Huh?

If only you were free though.

You...

All right, it's almost time.

-Let's go. -Oh.

-Let's go. -Hello? Xiao-sen?

Go on.

What? You can't make it? Why?

ON THE PHONE

The show got canceled and he wants to spend Christmas with me.

I couldn't say no.

Sorry, I'll make it up to you and Mei-mei.

Oh, okay.

You're treating us next time.

Okay, bye-bye.

What happened? She's not coming?

No, Xiao-sen can't make it.

Come with us then.

It's okay. I can still hang out with Mei-mei.

Gosh...

All right. We're leaving then.

-Bye-bye. -Okay.

-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.

Mr. Jiang.

Excuse me.

-Long time no see! -Hello, Mr. Chen.

Look around us.

Almost everyone is in pairs.

I guess it's because it's Christmas.

Oh!

Next year, we'll organize a Christmas feast here for Zhi-shu.

Nice. Zhi-shu and I together.

No way.

It's for Zhi-shu and Yue-qin.

Hey, don't be rude.

Mei-mei should be here soon.

Oh, Zhi-shu is here.

Wow. You look so handsome dressed like that.

Am I right?

He's my son all right.

Zhi-shu wearing a suit is really dashing.

He really is the world's most handsome and stylish guy.

I'm falling for him all over again.

Wow, this place is beautiful.

This hotel is always full.

Especially on Christmas day.

You're right.

I prepared this especially for you.

-Hello, Mei-mei? When are you coming? -Yue-qin.

I'm sorry. I can't meet you today.

Huh?

He lied about having other plans.

I was on my way to your place,

but he showed up at my house

with a bouquet of flowers.

It was a surprise.

He even prepared a Christmas dinner.

It was a shock to me, too.

I'm sorry.

What?

Sorry.

I promise I'll treat you two to a meal.

Oh.

All right.

I understand.

It's your first Christmas together.

Thank you, Yue-qin.

I'm sorry.

Tell Xiao-sen I'm sorry.

Hope you guys have fun.

Yeah, bye-bye.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Thank you.

Sure, let's talk about it again.

-Pan-pan. Let's go. -Okay.

-Come on. -Let's go.

-Come. -The elevator's there.

-Over there. -Come along.

If only Zhi-shu were here.

How great would that be?

You... How did you...

In case you got lonely.

How did you know?

You seem to be enjoying yourself.

Who said that?

-Help! -It's me!

Huh?

Zhi-shu? Sorry.

You came back alone?

Yes, I sneaked back when I could.

It was too boring.

Huh?

As for you, seems like friendship can't win over love.

Yeah.

I was stood up.

Xiao-sen and Mei-mei are celebrating with their boyfriends.

Go ahead and make fun of me.

I see. This is as far as your friendships go.

Eat this while it's hot.

Wow!

Wow, awesome!

I thought I'd be eating instant noodles this Christmas.

It's so yummy!

-You have some too, Zhi-shu. -No thanks.

-Go on, it's really good. -I don't want one.

Come on. You bought it.

It's delicious.

Try it.

Is it good?

Your Christmas present.

Presents every year, huh?

But you don't need to get me anything.

You don't have to.

Really.

Don't worry. I never planned to get you anything.

Oh.

What are you doing with the telescope?

It will come in handy.

It has to do with my present for you.

Open it, quick.

Oh.

Look! I got you your own star.

There's a star up there called the Shu Qin Star.

Ah, so romantic.

This is pretty special.

I knew you'd like it.

You know, I put in a lot of effort in order to buy this.

I started working at House of Fortune and did a lot of research online.

-I see. -Yeah.

But, this star is known as Shu Qin to you only.

Huh?

Only the International Astronomical Union can name a star.

Only the person who discovered the star can name it.

It means nothing when other people give names.

What?

Are you sure?

But there's a certificate and also coordinates.

I made a mark here too.

Does this star not exist?

Never mind. Let's go.

Huh? Where to?

To see the star.

Huh?

There has to be a Shu Qin star in this boundless galaxy.

As long as you believe so,

it will exist.

Thank you for the present.

Merry Christmas.
