Original subtitles

All locations, characters, organizations, and incidents

depicted in this drama are entirely fictitious.

It turns out that the assault victim lives with only his grandmother.

They must have thought he was beneath them.

It's sick, if you ask me.

Ki Seon-gyeom sure is righteous.

He must pack a punch too.

Still, isn't it scary that he used violence?

If his mother had taught him better,

he wouldn't have.

Don't you agree?

That mother would be me.

He's my son, you see.

I read the article, Mr. Ki.

- It must have been tough. - Thank you.

You made a public apology even though you knew the whole story.

- Your love for your son is commendable. - We should be considerate of the public

since we get paid with their tax money.

My son using violence to handle the situation

reflects on my role as a father.

I heard he was banned as a runner,

but that might change thanks to the public sentiment.

This recent issue with my son has been a teaching moment for me too.

Mr. Ki, isn't it about time we went golfing?

Is Ms. Ki still in Korea?

Should I get Eun-bi to join us sometime?

It wouldn't be difficult.

You must love to golf.

Of course.

- Seon-gyeom, an article is out. - Everything seems okay,

but your medical history shows you may have arrhythmia...

- Ms. Seo? - I'm listening.

As if my opinion matters to you.

I'm going to suggest a Holter monitor test.

NATIONAL TRACK AND FIELD TEAM

Coach.

You should see this.

You're mentioned in the article too.

Hey, let's get out of here.

- I'll go first. - Sure.

Damn it.

That bastard.

I hope he's all right.

Have you seen the news? If not, don't.

Seon-gyeom, I know it came as a shocker,

but I couldn't tell you in person.

Honestly though, I'm fine.

I'll help out my grandma for the time being.

WHEN HUNGRY, BANG

Leave a dot if you got home safely and tell me if you can't sleep.

I'll recommend a boring movie.

We'll send Park Gyu-deok and Kim Gi-beom off to the military.

And don't put them in the Athletic Corps.

All of this happened because hierarchy is enforced around here.

It's because the organization is male-dominated.

We need more women in leadership positions.

That's not what matters at the moment.

Regarding Ki Seon-gyeom, the disciplinary committee

already finalized a ruling.

So what about Kim Woo-shik?

As if there's anything more to consider.

He blew this wide open and quit on his own accord.

I doubt he'll ever come back as long as he's right in the mind.

The association has decided on

a six-month suspension for you.

Your hard work and achievements were put into consideration,

so we'll see you then.

Any objections?

I'd like to know if this is a fair ruling.

Am I receiving special treatment?

Please do it by the book.

If so, you'll be banned from track.

- Is that what you want? - Yes.

You're not a bad runner.

Why choose to end your career short?

You sure are determined, aren't you?

The one who had his career on the line was Woo-shik.

This isn't the place to mention a whistle-blower.

How is it whistle-blowing when he was only speaking up?

Keep at it and you won't ever be reinstated.

Seon-gyeom, you've been given a chance

to make up for this mess.

That isn't what I want.

Thank you for giving me the chance to retire.

I really am unemployed now.

When will Ki Seon-gyeom be back?

That's not something we'd know.

Rumor has it that he lives here.

You're putting us in quite a spot.

- Just tell us a few things— - I won't be staying here anymore.

I'm checking out as of today.

The last thing I want is to cause trouble for anyone else here,

so please be aware of that.

I can't believe you finally answered

when you've been ghosting me.

I'm sorry, Seon-gyeom.

Everything's been set,

so stay at the hotel with your grandmother.

I bet people have been pestering you.

Anyway, just know that it's an order.

Thank you and I'm sorry.

Just stick to one, okay?

Could you give me some time?

Truth is, I still don't have the courage to face you.

I know you're disappointed in me.

Why would you need the courage to face me?

You're a master at messing with people, you know that?

So much for being innocent.

I apologize for that then.

Forget it. It's too late anyway.

You've made your decision,

so what else can I do but respect it?

SEO DAN-AH

Woo-shik, I'll hang up then.

Take good care of yourself.

I will if I need to. Good night.

Right, a towel.

I WILL IF I NEED TO, GOOD NIGHT

I chose the perfect day.

I'm not in the mood to bicker.

I just wanted to ask you something. Did you meet Seon-gyeom that day?

Well, let me go first then.

- Why did you say that to me? - Say what?

That you were his last.

I didn't know you'd be this concerned about your athlete.

I can't help it. It's been ages since he liked someone.

And how do you know that?

I was the last person he liked.

You're still bothered by that? It was ages ago.

You said it in a way that bothered me.

Why did you do that?

Well, to seem friendly, I guess.

That's your way of being friendly? I thought we were in a love triangle.

A love triangle? Should it be? It sounds like fun.

No, don't. It's already boring if you ask me.

- Why be friendly toward me anyway? - I want to be friends.

That just sent a chill down my spine.

You like having the last say and always talk back.

On top of that, you accept bribes.

You should learn how to be friends first.

There you go again.

Hold on a second. Did you mean it when you told me to kneel?

See? Again with that rebellious attitude.

She won't even answer me. I'm busy, so leave and don't bother me.

You're ignoring me now?

That's a first for me. It's very interesting.

I see I unknowingly charmed someone's socks off again.

- How much is that painting? - Pardon?

I'll pay for the one you gave me before while I'm at it.

Oh, right. But you see,

he doesn't charge me for the paintings I hang up around here.

It wouldn't be my place to put a price on them.

Why don't you speak to the painter himself?

The art student?

I'd rather not bother.

One Americano, please.

Sure.

- Here you go. - I'll prepare your order.

What's this about?

This is Eun-bi's contract that she signed personally.

Your father will throw a fit, won't he?

I heard she'd be renewing her contract.

But she signed with me, opening up the gates of hell.

Aren't you curious as to what this is?

It's the cancellation of your contract.

You don't need me now that Eun-bi signed with you.

That's one of the reasons.

Eun-bi signed with me and I have no use for you,

so we'll go back to a simpler relationship.

I heard you left the hotel. Did your grandfather kick you out?

- He read the article? - I left for multiple reasons.

- He kicked you out for multiple reasons? - That's not what I meant.

- How did you know though? - I know a lot of reporters.

Then you must know that I retired as of today.

When the media will be spinning you as a hero,

you retired?

You're not my agent anymore.

Where will you stay then?

I don't know,

but I'm sure there will be a bed for me somewhere.

Really?

But it worries me.

There's no need for that.

Well, I'm worried that you might not have anywhere to go.

Come on, now. It's not like we're strangers.

- I didn't say anything. - Move into my apartment.

I'll find a place on my own.

You've been there before, right?

I'll mostly be staying with my family, but—

I can take care of it. Jeez, you're strong.

What?

What are you looking at?

I'll stay with you if you ask me to.

Should I?

Ms. Oh?

How long have you been there?

I renovated the place with natural marble floor tiles from Brazil.

Falling on them will only crack your skull.

I also have an outdoor pool.

- It's private. - Where I stay—

A pool? Who's going to clean it?

Why waste money on something you barely use?

And the wide window

provides you with a panorama view of Han River.

It only gets hot in the summer.

Oh, dear. Your house must have nothing to offer.

Where I stay has three rooms

and wooden floors that won't crack any skulls.

Also, it's a five-minute walk from here.

You have a car, so why walk?

And create more air pollution? What about carbon emissions?

How uneducated of you.

So you're being eco-friendly? That's a great idea.

How about you sell your car?

Don't I get a say in this?

Why are you deciding for me?

Ms. Oh, your actions are just as puzzling.

Wait!

Was that fun for you?

Is it that fun to toy with other people?

Do I look like I have nothing better to do than toy with you?

Yes. If that wasn't the case, you should explain yourself.

I see.

First, he seemed emotionally upset and in need of company.

Second, he has no friends, no girlfriend, no agent,

and his family is useless.

Third, I came to the decision that the person best suited to care for him

is you.

There's no need to thank me.

She really is messing with me. Damn it, she did it again.

Again?

- Did you two go out or something? - No.

Is that it?

Yes, is there anything else you'd like to hear?

Did you retire?

Yes. How did you know?

I overheard you.

Do you want a lift? Oh, wait.

It'll be fine since you live five minutes away.

So think how fast it would be by car.

Thanks.

- Oh, hey. - Ms. Oh.

What's all this?

Posters. I went on an urgent pick-up run,

but moving them has been hard work.

That's not necessary...

Where to?

The third floor of the coffee shop.

You can drop it off down the hallway.

- Watch your hands. - Thanks.

First my house, and now my workplace?

You keep bringing him home.

I met him just outside, you see.

Anyway, he checked out of his hotel. That's where he's been staying.

I never asked.

Someone wanted to take him home, but she's a crazy person.

I couldn't let them be alone together,

so I said we had three rooms.

If you're going to talk to yourself, do it somewhere else.

If I could, I'd let him stay in our living room.

Don't you agree?

Why don't I move out instead?

If you do, I might do something I regret, so don't you dare.

It's like he's already unpacking.

May, please. He retired as a runner

and isn't in the right state of mind.

What if he dies of starvation?

I thought you wanted to move on.

You told me to let my feelings run its course.

- Here you go. - I doubt he'll let himself starve.

People don't announce that they'll die when the time comes.

Besides, I'd rather he die by my side and not by Ms. Seo's.

He's bound to be the death of you.

Stay put. I'll make it as natural as possible.

Got it.

- How are you? - Not so good, I'm afraid.

You see, someone has been targeting women

in our neighborhood by mugging and terrorizing them.

Really?

I've been worried sick

about being mugged or terrorized on my way home,

but then I heard you had nowhere to stay.

I do.

How about you stay at our place for a few days?

No, it's okay.

What a natural way to ask.

We have three rooms.

You'll get the biggest room.

That's enough.

- Mi-joo. - Yes?

Thank you for this.

I guess you really enjoyed wearing this.

I never wore it again after that day.

Oh, I see. At least you didn't throw it away.

Go on inside.

Where are you going to go?

To a different hotel.

Goodbye then.

HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON

WE WISH YOU A QUICK RECOVERY

No one's here.

Back then, I didn't know

that my choices would end up hurting me forever.

I've never really been sick of living like this.

Because I wasn't interested

even though it was my life.

Of all the things I've loved,

why have I never loved myself?

Eat up.

How did you get into my house?

Are you here to live with me?

What did you say?

You're going to leave once you finish this?

Okay.

I'm sorry for calling you all of a sudden.

I didn't have anyone to discuss this with.

After the recent article, the public sentiment has changed.

Could you come back to coach for our team?

I'm sure there's someone who's more suited for the job.

I actually checked the resume of a potential candidate,

but he has been involved in some scandals.

The higher-ups think it'll be best to have a coach in the long run

and aren't entirely against hiring him.

But they'd be a lot more relieved if you were to return.

They would most likely think that I'm not qualified.

But I'll look around for you.

I actually have someone in mind.

Director Dong, I need help, but I didn't know who to ask.

There's a track and field coach named Ms. Bang Bae-jeong.

Can you help me find her?

I heard she's living a very secluded life.

- I'll look into it. - Thank you.

How are you? Are you doing okay?

I'm trying my best.

He never messaged me once, but I guess he's alive.

What brings you here?

Must I help you come up with an excuse again?

Come up with it yourself.

Okay.

I came to patrol the place in case that mugger shows up.

- But I haven't seen anyone suspicious yet. - There's someone suspicious right here.

By the way, the movie you translated isn't in the theaters anymore.

It was long enough for an independent film.

But seriously, why are you here?

Gosh, this is so frustrating.

Why did you come back looking like a fool again?

Who bothered you this time?

You're here because you want to stay at my place, right?

See? You should've come when I asked you to.

If you really meant it,

can I?

Can I stay there for just a few days?

Let's go to my place.

Come on.

It's actually a ten-minute walk.

- Is that okay with you? - Yes.

That gun must be really precious to you.

You always have it with you. I guess it's not just for safety.

It was actually used as a prop in one of my favorite movies.

I bought it at an auction.

And I got the autograph from the director herself.

Have a seat.

When I won the auction,

I couldn't believe that this gun was going to be mine.

All the actors in the movie had that gun at least once.

You also had it for a while yourself.

I took that gun with me everywhere.

And one day, I ran into Ms. Colangelo at a film festival.

So this is what I said. "Hi, Michelle. I'm a big fan.

This is that gun from your movie.

Can I please get an autograph?"

The street was pretty packed, so it was easy to run into people.

Sit down.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

You must be fluent in English.

Yes.

So it turns out you didn't get that gun for no reason.

The same goes for you. You also didn't help me for no reason.

I kind of did.

People tend to say they did things for no reason

to prevent anyone from feeling burdened.

Then I guess it wasn't just for no reason.

Where's my room? I think I should unpack first.

Well, this is your room.

This is the living room.

That's May's room. That's my room.

And this is your room.

Like I said, we have three rooms including the living room.

You can use this chance to take your clothes back.

I'll find them for you.

Let's see. Where did I put them?

Tinker Bell is in our house. No, wait. He's more like Peter Pan.

Where did it go?

Seon-gyeom is asleep

behind that door.

SEON-GEYOM IS ASLEEP BEHIND THAT DOOR

A day like today calls for a drink.

How about we finish this bottle, and have three more.

Drink 'til we can't feel anything, right?

That's what i'm talking about, Linda.

Here's to looking at you, kid.

Pick up your phone.

HOUSEMATE

- Hello? - I'm working until late today.

- Don't wait up. - May.

I brought that guy home.

- So don't get shocked. - Right back at you.

Yes, she's right. I'm the one who's still shocked.

- Didn't you sleep? - You're up.

I just got off work.

- You stayed up all night? - When I'm busy with work,

I sometimes sleep at this hour.

Didn't you get any sleep?

Thanks to you, I slept well. I'm going for a run.

Gosh, I guess I was worried for nothing. He's so strong-minded.

Hello.

What a nice way to start the day.

It's the best kind of welfare.

You're finally up.

Gosh, I can't believe you're still here.

You're still half-asleep.

The moon is out.

I used some stuff in the fridge. I'll fill it back tomorrow.

Sure.

Is that...

It's my meal.

- You must really care about your health. - It's to stay alive.

Wouldn't it be better to exercise?

I take everything that's good for my body.

Then will you die without these supplements?

I even quit smoking to live.

No, you didn't.

I only touched it, okay?

You feel better just by holding it between your fingers...

Did you wait to nag at me?

I'm not nagging. I'm worried.

It sounded like you were nagging.

I waited until you got up to ask you a question.

What do you want to know?

Hello.

- Me? - Yes.

How did you know I get off work at this hour?

I asked Ms. Oh.

I forgot to ask you this morning.

Get in. I'll give you a ride.

Okay.

Is there anything you find uncomfortable at our place?

I guess I just exist there.

Doesn't Mi-joo bother you?

We barely even see each other because I sleep when she works.

So you don't get to see her that much?

What a relief.

I haven't noticed anyone suspicious in your neighborhood yet.

The mugger?

Do you patrol the neighborhood?

Every now and then.

But just in case, would it be okay for me

to come and pick you up whenever you get off work late?

- No wonder she can't get over you. - Sorry?

You don't need to worry about being in a love triangle.

I'm asexual.

Okay.

Okay.

Did you get rid of my painting?

You should greet us first.

I'm home, guys. Did you get rid of the painting in the gallery?

What were you doing at the gallery?

You're always busy with your work.

You mean the painting that Myeong-min hung up in the gallery?

It's by an artist that I've found.

It'll help him get paid better at the art fair.

How was it? I should go see it too.

He hung it on the best spot to show off that he discovered the artist.

But it was trash.

How did you even find that artist? You know nothing about art.

I have a good eye.

Sure. You do have eyes.

Why are you being so cranky?

Then replace it with a new painting.

Dad, it's not easy to discover a talented rookie artist.

If you did it, so can I.

But you're right. It's not easy.

Go ahead and bring whatever.

But mine will always be better.

Okay, I get it. Can we eat now?

Dan-ah, what are you going to do about your blind date?

You came to the head office and just left. I'm quite upset.

I'll fix a date to go see you again.

I have to talk to Myeong-min anyway.

- Say it now. - It's more than just words.

ASSEMBLYMAN KI JEONG-DO

FATHERS, DO NOT EXASPERATE YOUR CHILDREN

INSTEAD, BRING THEM UP IN THE TRAINING AND INSTRUCTIONS OF THE LORD

Sir, I brought the...

Sir, please.

Discuss it with us before you post it.

The strategy team exists for a reason.

Let me breathe. This is the only thing I find joy in.

You need to think about atheists and people with other religions.

- So what is it? - Eun-bi is now with Ms. Seo's agency.

They already signed a deal.

But she told me she's going to renew her contract.

Bring her to me so I can hear it from Eun-bi herself.

She was seen near Bulguksa Temple according to an online post.

So we're checking.

And as for Seon-gyeom, they were going to suspend him for six months,

but he decided to retire.

What?

That darn punk.

How dare he retire without my permission?

He can't quit just because he wants to.

That arrogant punk.

Gather everyone from the association.

Go ahead. Take it.

Okay, I will.

Hey.

Do you live in this neighborhood?

No, I live somewhere else.

I see. I live in this neighborhood.

Okay.

Do you know me?

Don't you remember me?

You threw my drawing tube like a pro.

Will it work?

- Yes. - You are...

- Yes, that was me. - Right. I see.

You didn't have it with you today, so I didn't recognize you.

It's because I didn't have class today.

Why are you doing this?

I thought you wanted to communicate like E.T.

What's that?

Expressing your feelings.

This is how you do it.

Sorry I didn't recognize you.

It was such an unforgettable situation that I had forgotten what you looked like.

I tend to leave a nice impression.

But why are you shopping here when you live somewhere else?

I heard there's a mugger in this neighborhood.

Really?

You're not having soju with that, are you?

Right, milk. I forgot about that.

This is for your drawing tube.

Are you sparing me the hassle?

Put your items on the counter with mine

so I can pay for them, okay?

My brother!

Can I treat you like my brother?

Wait. What's your name?

My gosh.

Thank you for everything, Seon-gyeom.

Why are you addressing me so politely?

Because you have a credit card and bought me groceries.

I have to go that way.

See you again next time.

- You're here. - I just came.

What is that?

My meal.

Are you too lazy to chew?

It may not look like much,

but this a balanced meal full of essential nutrients.

I have no time to set the table.

I have to go to work too.

Where are you?

Ms. Oh, I'm here.

Where?

Ms. Oh, I'm here.

- Where? Where are you? - Ms. Oh, I'm here.

Come in.

- Looking for this? - Gosh.

There you were. I've been looking everywhere.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Do you want to take a look?

- Would that be okay? - Of course.

Come on in.

- Excuse me. - Don't worry about it.

Check it out.

This is a newly released Blu-ray movie.

The title is The Strange Red Carpet.

I bet you didn't watch it.

The original title is quite long.

The literal translation would be

The Strange, Narrow Passageway.

But it sounded too suffocating,

so I changed it to The Strange Red Carpet.

Isn't it cool?

It sounds like the red carpet is the lead.

Whenever the sun sets on the road the main character always takes,

and the wasteland turns scarlet.

People say that it looks like the red carpet

despite the lack of cheer and cameras.

Fascinating, right? Not all translators do this.

I'm very anal,

so I make sure the subtitles appear at the right time.

This is my work diary and my schedule.

This helps me identify what my problems are.

Since I'm a freelancer,

I don't have a boss who oversees what I do.

EAT

EAT

You wanted to identify your problems.

Not having meals regularly and only drinking juice

is a problem.

You must be bored since you're unemployed.

I am jobless, but it's difficult to adjust to this lifestyle.

There's nothing to adjust to.

And you're not even doing it right.

What kind of jobless person goes jogging every morning?

How can you do it every day? Is that your schtick?

- You've retired. - How can you spend all day sitting down?

How did we meet during the day?

I didn't sleep.

You should leave now.

- You said you'd hang out if I was bored. - What? What did you say?

You said you'd hang out if I was bored.

I said I'd hang out if I had time.

Don't do this to me when I'm working.

You're demotivating me.

I'm joining you today.

I want to know how fun it is for you to do it every day.

I'm making time to hang out with you.

Seon-gyeom.

- I have something important to say. - What is it?

Let me take a breather.

Wait. Hold on. Wait.

I mean...

Teach me how to run. This is my first time.

You ran so well last time.

Was it because you were robbed?

Start with your arms.

Point it upwards when swinging up and downwards when swinging down.

And make a fist like you're holding an egg.

The grip is too strong. Lighter. Imagine an egg.

Why is your grip so strong? You'll get tired quickly.

- A light grip. - Why do you think so?

Moving on. Your arms are the most important when running.

Fling them backward to get the momentum going.

That'll make it easier.

Give it a try.

It's somewhat similar, but loosen your shoulders.

They are loose.

Hold on.

Keep going.

Relax.

That's much better.

Lastly, let me teach you how to breathe.

If you inhale with your mouth,

it'll dry out quickly and you'll tire soon.

Breathe in a four-four time. It's easy.

Just...

Just breathe.

Can't you do it? Even little kids can.

I can't because I'm an adult.

Nothing's impossible. Keep trying.

- Keep trying. - You must be excited to see me struggle.

I'm excited to be running with you.

Maintaining your pace is very important when running.

You can slow down if you're struggling.

Just don't give up. You can do that as an adult, right?

What if I lose sight of you?

Then I'll wait until you come around.

Shall we continue?

Okay.

- Do you need to rest? - It's okay.

Here's your tuition fee

for teaching me how to run.

Thank you.

I actually returned the favor since you've taught me a lot.

I did teach you many new terms and abbreviations.

It's all thanks to my job.

How was your first run?

I loved it.

- Really? - Yes.

I didn't have to focus on anything except running.

I realized that this was your way of communicating.

That was a beautiful explanation.

You're right. You're a true translator.

How does it feel now that you've quit?

It was your job.

How does it feel to run for a living?

You're just out of breath.

Do you feel less out of breath?

I should look back on my life from now on.

How? Are you going to write in a diary?

Should I? It's boring being unemployed.

You don't deserve to call yourself that yet.

You're always going out.

I guess you'll be going to bed now.

Yes.

I should start sleeping at night.

Mornings are so wonderful.

DIARY

I'm sorry.

I was on the phone about my daughter's university entrance.

I'm unemployed, so I have plenty of time.

- It's okay. - I can't believe you're unemployed.

It's so absurd.

She was your first teacher, right?

Yes. I believe it's all thanks to her that I became a national athlete.

She rejected everyone who visited her.

No wonder she's legendary.

She wouldn't reject her former student, would she?

I'll have to try.

Ms. Seo seems to be out.

She went to the headquarters to talk about her blind date list.

I heard that you were on the list too.

I never agreed to that. Why would they put my name there?

She likes alcohol, so make sure to buy some.

- Don't go empty-handed. - Okay.

Thank you.

It was such an uncomfortable encounter.

You've done well.

Hey!

- Have you gone insane? - I kicked lightly

so you won't be disabled.

You know I used to play soccer, right?

Had you not tattled on me,

I would be playing for Tottenham right now.

Don't you know I made you quit soccer by outing you?

Should I make it so that you can't ever set foot in here again?

You messed with what was mine.

You...

You're being this way because of Jeong Ji-hyun?

You? Right now?

- How dare you! - Exactly.

You should hit someone who's also on your level.

Also, let me tell you what "outing" means.

"Outing" is when you disclose an individual's sexual orientation

or sexual identity without their approval.

You outed me regarding soccer?

If you want to continue doing business globally, study.

Study about genders.

- I went to an Ivy League school. - Enough!

Don't upset me anymore.

Unlike how I look, I'm not too kind.

Damn it.

If I wasn't born rich, I could have been more rowdy.

- More than now? - Don't you think so?

Nothing's impossible for me.

How did you know?

I told you to stop!

I feel so shitty!

I could hear it. It must've hurt.

What if the chairman finds out?

I avenged you. Don't you feel relieved or thankful?

You did so because he harmed something that was yours.

I don't think I should thank you for that.

Thanks to you, I could vent my rage.

You're what they call a talented individual.

CHILAN MOUNTAIN BEEKEEPING

Come on, Mom.

I still have so much, but you sent more?

How can a bracelet cost 10 million won?

Why didn't she demand compensation? Is it because she's rich?

Who is this?

- You're here early. - Mr. Jeong called.

- I heard you called— - Let's talk upstairs.

What? Is she really his sponsor?

Tae-woong, we really need to go.

Fine. Let's go.

Kang Baek...

Lee Yeong...

LEE YEONG-HWA

LEE YEONG-HWA

I got you.

FOLLOW

What?

There are no photos of you. Are you not confident?

Wait.

Please send it over by Friday. I'll confirm it.

Goodbye.

KI SEON-GYEOM

He's—

Sell me the new painting at the cafe. The owner told me to discuss with you.

You can speak casually to me.

- Here you are. - You refused to paint a new one,

so just sell that to me.

You like my painting that much?

What happened here?

I didn't know it was wet and touched it.

Don't you know that drying is the most important step in oil painting?

It was for school, and I hung it right after.

Art students often don't have the time to dry their paintings

as the assignments have a tight deadline.

Seeing how you took the painting anyway, you must really like it.

I do. I see time in your paintings.

You see, I value time the most.

If you're not going to sell it,

I'd like my ten million won in cash.

Right. You could sell your painting for just as much.

- That's good, right? - Pardon?

It's a bit much for my painting.

Then give me the change.

And buyers are the ones who put the price on them.

If I say it's worth ten million, then that's that.

- Why me? - What do you mean?

Why my painting?

Someone like you could ask Monet or Picasso for one.

They're dead.

I'm not selling it.

You don't want to paint or sell. What is it? Are you rich?

Hear me out, will you?

I drew that for the cafe.

If it's displayed anywhere else, it loses its meaning.

What if it was placed at Seomyung Art Museum?

I don't care...

What was that again? Seomyung Art Museum?

I'm going there?

Your painting, not you.

My goodness.

You should improve your communication skills.

What I meant was that I'd rather paint you a new one.

That was what I was about to say.

You rejected me before. You must be quite materialistic.

I was playing hard to get.

If I said yes right away, I would've looked desperate.

This is why I'm so disgusted by artists.

Give me your number. I need to speak with you to get the drawing you want.

You can call Mr. Jeong.

You spoke to him, so you must have his number.

You should go. Give me the rough sketch by this week.

Thanks for the robe.

Hey, about the rough... Answer...

Hey, kid.

FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND WON

CHILAN MOUNTAIN BEEKEEPING

My parents are beekeepers and sent me too many.

It's pure honey.

I know the number on your card is for business.

Reply with your private number.

Mr. Jeong, please check the origin of this ingredient.

You know I'm careful about what I eat.

What is that?

Is that how it's going to be?

You shouldn't do that when you're unemployed.

I thought bringing these would help.

What do you mean? Bring them where?

I need my teacher's help.

I'm going to meet with her and ask for a favor.

I'm so lost right now. Does she live far away?

Not really.

When will you be done with your project?

I'm trying to finish it by tonight.

That way, I can have fun in peace.

The weather's lovely these days.

Do you want to come with me? You can get some fresh air.

Am I allowed to go?

I don't feel too confident alone.

There's a lot that I don't know.

Eun-bi lent me her car

and told me to get some fresh air.

How nice of you to try and clock me out.

Since I don't have a boss, I clock out when I think I should.

But when I do, I feel bad.

That schedule of yours is quite problematic.

Write that you'll get off work at 9 a.m. tomorrow.

Yes. I'll make sure to get it done by then.

I'm excited to work now.

This is nice.

You have arrived at your destination.

- Ending navigation. - Apparently, we're here.

I don't think this is correct.

It's the right address.

What should we do?

One minute.

I should look around a bit more.

It's the correct address.

It's blazing hot. Let's have some ice cream.

There was a mart back there.

You can wait there while I look around.

Okay.

I bought some ice cream.

GAMA MART

Sit down.

Good boy.

"One hundred seventy-two."

Is anyone in?

Ms. Bang?

Ms. Bang.

Ms. Oh.

Why are you with her?

I picked her up on my way.

It's been a long time.

I was worried I couldn't find you

since you lived in seclusion.

It's not that. It's just hard to get a connection here.

Have you eaten?

No.

I don't have much, but this drink is expensive.

- Can you handle alcohol better now? - A bit.

Goodness, he's such a gentleman.

What kind of gentleman peels fruit? They won't even go near the kitchen.

Can you drink?

He's boring since he can't handle his drink.

I enjoy drinking.

I'll be your drinking buddy.

This must be expensive.

It seems like yesterday when we first met.

I can't believe you became a national athlete.

Ms. Bang, we met for the first time during your farewell match.

It was the National Sports Festival.

I was so shocked when I saw you.

I thought Jeong-do had adopted you.

You should seriously thank your mom.

Who knew he'd become a politician?

Never mind. I did see it coming.

Drink up, will you? Did you come here to peel fruit?

I still have some.

Ms. Bang, a track and field coaching position is currently vacant.

I was wondering if you could take that position.

I've been doing charity for them for the past five years.

Some of them are worth being nurtured for the national team.

Goodness, you did well. I'm proud of you.

What a shame. I enjoy my current life.

I don't want to get involved again.

Ms. Bang, there are many prospects in that team.

There are many girls too,

- so I think it's best— - I don't want to hear it.

- Ms. Bang, I— - Get out. Go.

Ma'am.

This gentleman...

Wait, what was his name again?

- Seon-gyeom. - "Seon-gyeom"?

Did you know that he came in last?

Do you or do you not?

Of course, I do. His record improved thanks to me.

No way. I didn't know that.

You're completely wasted, aren't you?

You see...

Listening to you, I couldn't help but be curious.

Since he didn't ask, I will.

Why don't you want to get involved again?

You made a boy who came last into a national athlete.

That shows how good you are.

So why are you refusing his offer?

Who gave you a tough time?

Who hurt you?

I'm going to kill them all.

Goodness.

Ms. Oh.

- Take her with you! - Yes, ma'am.

Get up.

This way. Over here.

- Are you okay? - Let me go.

I didn't touch you.

Ms. Oh.

It's a dead-end that way. Where are you going?

Ms. Oh.

Ms. Oh?

Wake up for a minute.

Have some water. Here.

What? It's not cold.

You should've refused if you couldn't take it.

She can drink you under the table.

Let me look around for a bed and breakfast.

Wait here. I'll be back soon.

Don't go.

I don't know. I just...

I'm worried you'll disappear.

I won't.

You drank so much for me.

To be honest, I wanted to help out.

That's a lie.

I wanted to see more of you.

If I get drunk and go to bed early,

then I'd wake up early as well.

By doing that, I'd get to see you more.

Gosh, my head.

Do you want more water?

- Are you cold? - No.

Is there anything you need?

I'll do everything I can.

- Really? - I'll try to.

You're saying that again.

You're...

You're so hardworking.

Then...

can you...

What did you say?

Can you...

like me?

I already do.

Subtitle translation by: Hye-lim Park

You must live around here.

- Let me walk you home. - He's like a baby.

What is it about him that makes you so protective of him?

- I never said I liked him. - You don't remember.

How disappointing.

- She even invited us to the premier. - Go with him instead.

Seo Tae-woong, Seo Dan-ah...

He was looking at you funny.

Stop crossing the line.

But you came to see me because I crossed the line.

Seon-gyeom! Where are you going?

- To see Ms. Seo? - I guess he wants us to become a thing.

- Why the hospitality? - Maybe I want something from you.

- Did you fight? - Stop following me.

I guess it was just me again.

What's with you and Ms. Seo?

I'm going to have Ms. Seo

marry Seon-gyeom.

Stop using me as the means to fulfil your dream.

Should I file a missing persons report?

Could he be crashing someplace else?
