It won't work.

Your father froze all your cards.

I could give you money

as part-time wages for all the help you've given me up until now.

But I can't hire you.

I really can't afford to.

So why did you have to run away from home too?

I'm at a loss.

Is it okay to go to a housewarming empty-handed?

Give me one of those appliances instead of money.

Whose housewarming are you going to amidst all this?

A senior from my department.

It's not brand-new

but it was purchased not too long ago.

Are you lending this to me, by any chance?

No.

It's a gift.

It's delicious, isn't it?

Yeah.

We'll grill the meat. You should eat.

No, I'll do it. Don't worry about it, and eat up.

Wow, what a real manly man.

Thank you for the food then, Senior.

Sure.

I'll do it.

- It's fine. - Give it to me.

Look, he even cut it into small pieces so it's easier to eat.

Are you trying to make glass noodles?

I'll do it.

Eat up, okay?

I'll hold onto your TV for you, so come pick it up

whenever you need it back.

That's too expensive of a gift.

Don't you watch TV, Senior?

I can just watch shows on my phone.

- Paying for cable is a waste of money. - I agree.

But she insists that she needs a TV.

What?

She's so exhausting because she's such a penny pincher.

Even when she's buying day-to-day necessities

she has to buy them for the lowest prices online to be satisfied.

I'm like that too.

- I only buy hot deals. - Me too.

I shop during the timed sale every morning.

No, the special midday offers are better.

No, the discount you get from the first purchase of the month is cheaper.

I got a bundle of 1-liter bottles of water for just 1,500 won.

Really?

Wait, want to create a group order for when we don't need to buy much?

Yes, that sounds great!

Free shipping!

Gosh, you two are so excited.

Oh yeah, if you watch movies on the last Wednesday of the month

- you get 50 percent off. - Wow.

You're amazing.

No, I'm not amazing. I just scrimp and save since I have no money.

I got a bogo deal at a convenience store.

I bought one item and got another for free.

Goodness.

You're such a mood-killer.

Oh, it's a guitar.

- You even know how to play guitar? - Just a little, as a hobby.

- Oh, play something for us! - Yes!

I'm not good enough to be playing in front of people.

- Play for us. Play for us. - Play for us. Play for us.

I'll show you later, okay? I promise.

- Wow! - Whoo!

Play for us.

[Episode 8: Basic Instincts]

Just leave it. I'll do the dishes.

No, I'll finish it quickly.

I'll do it.

- Want to take the garbage out with me? - Sure.

I think Kyung Seok is a lot different than I'd expected.

He's good at mingling with people.

Why? Was he rough around the edges in middle school?

A better way of putting it would be... well...

Someone who was totally unapproachable.

So it was quite shocking to me that someone like him remembered Mi Rae.

He may hate his mom, but she's hospitalized.

He should go see her, if even just once.

Why did he come here instead of going to see her?

You still haven't managed to open that?

I'll do it.

Let's get together often since we all live in the same neighborhood.

How about we all go see a movie on the last Wednesday of the month together?

- I'd love to. - Me too.

Kang Mi Rae.

The two of us have to go see a movie too.

It's for our Pop Culture Studies class's assignment, remember?

Oh yeah, that.

Let's go see it together.

It's a school assignment

so it'd be weird if I declined, right?

Sure.

You have to see a movie and write a review

for your cultural ed class, right?

Make sure your review is long.

She says the length doesn't matter

but she'll give you a good grade if it's long.

I see. Thank you.

I know that too.

I heard.

Are we watching the movie alone?

Or with other people?

Bye.

Want to meet up after class tomorrow?

Um, sure.

I'm done with classes after four tomorrow.

- I... - Don't your classes end after five?

Yeah, that's right. Five o' clock.

I'll wait for you then.

Sure.

Wait, so it'll be just the two of us, then?

Where do you live?

We live up there.

- Bye. - Okay.

Bye.

It's quite close by.

Wow, Kang Mi Rae!

You're seeing a movie with a boy for the first time in your life!

And with a super handsome guy, at that!

I told you, it's just for school.

Maybe...

Do Kyung Seok likes you.

How do you feel about Do Kyung Seok? You're not interested him him?

Yes, I'm super interested in him!

And today is the first day that we've started dating, okay?

Hey, stop touching me with the hands you used to touch your feet!

Stop it!

That tickles!

Hey.

Hey, hey, what are you doing? Go wash up.

Stop kicking me with your feet. Stop putting your feet on me.

Hurry up and go wash up.

I'm going to go wash up first, then.

Let's meet up at Shinchon Cinema Town at 6 p.m.

Wait.

This feels like a real date.

I think my bar is going to go under.

Want to cut class tomorrow and go to the beach with me?

I'm seeing a movie with someone.

A movie? With whom?

It's for a cultural appreciation class.

I guess you have enough money to see a movie, at least.

- I don't. - What?

I don't have any money. Lend me some.

Wow, I can't believe you don't even have 10,000 won.

Here.

50,000 won.

What kind of nonsense are you spouting?

We have to eat popcorn and dinner too.

Popcorn? As if!

Be honest with me. It's a date, isn't it?

- It's for school. - Give me a break.

Hey, hey, no.

[The first time she's seeing a movie alone with a guy]

[Date date date]

It's not.

It's for a school assignment.

[Date date date]

It's for a school assignment.

Let me see here.

Hey.

I'm going to stop by the bookstore.

I forgot to buy a reference book.

- Want me to come with you? - No.

No, it's fine.

You... you have to go to class.

You go on ahead.

All right, then. See you later.

Sure.

Oh yeah.

You're coming home late today

since you're seeing a movie with Do Kyung Seok, right?

I'm... I'm coming home right after the movie!

What?

Were you planning to do something else after that, then?

Go. Just go.

It's okay if you come home late, Mi Rae!

Hurry up and go! I told you, I'm only seeing a movie!

Are you looking for anything in particular?

A pinkish lipstick.

All of the items on this side are lipsticks.

And you know that there are many different kinds of pink, right?

Salmon pink, coral pink, rose pink, magenta pink, cherry pink.

And there are some coral pink ones with shimmer too.

I see.

You're totally peach though, Miss!

Pardon?

Don't you know the "fruit juice makeup" terms?

Red Velvet's Joy is apple.

And Sulli is peach.

And you're peach too.

I am?

You seem like you're not used to doing makeup though.

You have a warm undertone

but you put on products with cool tones.

I see.

Give me a moment. I'll fix up your makeup for free.

All right. Thank you.

Everyone else has been putting on makeup since middle school.

And everyone put curlers on their bangs.

But I've never done those things.

This is nice. What is it?

- Right? - Yes.

Even when I put on makeup and did my hair...

I didn't look that much better.

You're so pretty!

Here you go.

If we put this lip gloss here...

You look so pretty and cute!

Take a look in the mirror.

Take a look in the mirror.

Try smiling a big smile.

You look so pretty. You look just like a peach.

You're so pretty.

The makeup cotton pads are 10,000 won.

The cotton pads are 10,000 won?

It is a bit expensive. But if you meet the spending threshold by buying them

we will give you a free travel-sized kit.

This set is worth over 30,000 won

so if you do this, you're practically pocketing 15,000 won.

Oh.

Why did I buy this?

How many perfumes do I have to sell to make up for this?

Darn it!

- Hey. - Yeah?

Remember what you saw the other day? Keep it a secret, please.

What do you mean? Saw what?

On the day of the after-party.

He and I are just getting to know each other.

So keep it a secret for now.

What are you talking about?

About the fact that Tae Young and I are dating.

You and Tae Young are dating?

Really? Really?

You... didn't remember?

Wow, this is incredible.

This is a secret. Don't tell anyone.

Wait, so who else knows?

Yes, sing it!

Yes, girl, sing it!

- Hug me! - Hug me!

I'm not drunk at all right now.

Fine. So, what did you want to talk about?

This is the first time I've ever said anything like this.

Just don't laugh at me after you hear what I have to say.

You can't laugh.

I like you.

I told you not to laugh!

- I didn't laugh. - What are you saying? Yes you did!

No, it wasn't that kind of laugh.

Goodness.

I'm telling you, it's not like that.

You idiot.

What are you doing, Tae Hee?

I don't see it anywhere.

Oh, hey, Ye Na.

The thing is...

Seriously, don't tell anyone.

All right, all right!

Wait, so tell me everything.

Hurry it up.

- Did you finish it up? - Yes.

Hey, Soo Ah!

Hey, hurry up and get in here.

You're the best, Soo Ah!

Don't you dare get a boyfriend, Soo Ah.

I mean it.

I'm begging you, okay?

Hey, hurry up.

Pretty people should be free to be appreciated by all, okay?

- Goodbye. - Whoo!

Hello.

Hey.

You got home safely that day, right?

What?

Yeah. Oh, you got home safely that day too, right?

I was so busy taking care of all the drunk people

that I didn't see you leave.

It must be hard being the class president.

No, it's not like that.

If there's anything that I can ever help you with, let me know.

Sure.

And you can give me a call whenever you want to have a drink.

Huh?

I'm a huge fan of yours, Senior.

Um, okay. Sure.

Are you not feeling well, Jung Boon?

No, she's just hung over.

She got drunk all weekend with her friends from her hometown.

Gosh, I feel like I'm going to die.

They better not come around here again, I swear.

Did a lot of your friends come here?

There were at least six guys who came over.

Wow.

Goodness.

You have tons of male friends.

I have tons of guy friends, sure.

But no boyfriends.

Isn't there someone you like among them?

Well, I do like all of them. But not like that.

I couldn't be friends with them if I saw them like that.

Goodness.

Help me up.

You're looking pretty glamorous today, though.

What do you mean?

By the way, why didn't you come to the after-party?

- You said you'd come by later. - Oh, something suddenly came up.

I see. That can't be helped, then.

Let's go.

Sure.

[How to make 5,000 won turn into 500 million won]

Are you studying for finals already?

No, I just had to read up on something.

By the way, why did you leave the after-party without saying goodbye?

Do I have to?

Something came up.

[Kang Mi Rae]

- What was it? - Just something.

I thought that we'd finally become friends.

Oh yeah, Kyung Seok.

Want to go see a movie together?

Let's go see the movie for our Pop Culture Studies class together.

I'm already seeing it with someone.

- Who? - Kang Mi Rae.

Oh, I see.

I am on my way to meet up with a male friend right now.

Kang Mi Rae.

Why are you just standing there?

Oh.

So that's where you were.

Which movie do you want to see?

I bought tickets already.

You did?

Good job, Friend.

How much was the ticket?

Don't worry about it.

Would you like to order?

One original combo, please.

That'll be 8,500 won.

Hey, why are you paying for everything?

Don't worry about it.

How could I not?

My share is 13,250 won.

I'll give you the 250 won later.

I said, don't worry about it.

Why do you keep saying that?

Take it. Friends are supposed to split the bill.

Is the theater not open yet?

We still have some time before the doors open.

I see.

Oh yeah.

Don't we have to include the movie tickets on our report?

We do?

Probably.

Should I tear it in half?

Tear it?

Should one of us just take a photo of it to submit with their report, then?

I'll do it.

Sure.

Kang Mi Rae.

Let's get a good grade on our assignment.

Good luck.

Goodness, Soo Ah.

Why did you come here?

I came to give you some of the picked vegetables I made.

I told you, I can take care of myself.

Hey, wait up.

Was she lying about living in an apartment...

in Dogok-dong?

Don't move.

You can't move. Stay still.

Gosh.

What is the message that the director wants to convey?

The part of it that will make it a big office hit among moviegoers...

I'll try to find a scene that is truly memorable for me.

A scene I'd want to see again...

Why?

Why do I want to keep looking at him?

It's just instinctual.

A basic instinct.

People's gazes tend to be attracted to attractive things.

And not because they have any special feelings toward them.

It just so happens that your gaze tends to gravitate toward them.

In an instinctive way.

Aren't you going to have any?

Oh...

During these sorts of situations in romantic movies...

this kind of thing happens, but...

I said, aren't you having any?

I'll have some.

This is what I call an ultimate defensive maneuver.

What are you doing?

What?

You told me to eat the popcorn.

So I'm eating it.

That movie was fun.

I'll have a lot to write about for my report.

Yeah.

Are we going to part ways here then?

Aren't you...

- hungry? - What?

Do you like pasta?

Pasta?

You mean, like the dish that couples often eat on dates?

We can eat something else if you don't like pasta.

I eat everything. I'm a total omnivore.

All right, let's go then.

This place is so nice. Have you been here before?

No. I looked up restaurants online.

He looked it up?

Just so that he could come here with me?

[Remaining funds: 37,000 won]

[Most expensive pasta dish: 14,000 won Multiplied by 2: 28,000 won]

[Most expensive beverage: 6,000 won Multiplied by 2: 12,000 won]

[28,000 won plus 12,000 won]

[40,000 won]

I'll have the aglio e olio.

[Two orders of aglio e olio: 22,000 won Grand total: 34,000 won]

Excuse me.

Yes, would you like to place your order?

I'd like two orders of aglio e olio.

What do you want to drink?

I'll just have water.

Have something to drink. I'm going to get a sprite.

I'll get that too, then.

Two sprites, please.

All right.

[Two sprites: 8,000 won Grand total: 30,000 won]

- Did you take a lot of notes earlier? - What?

I mean the notes you took during the movie.

Let me see them too.

You're supposed to write your own thoughts, since it's a review.

You can't let your review be influenced by mine.

I'm not going to copy it. I just want to know what you wrote.

What are you curious about?

It's nothing special.

Your handwriting.

I'm curious to see what your handwriting looks like.

Why?

Do I need to have a reason... for being curious?

I need to go to the bathroom.

Will it ever be possible...

to think of a guy like him as just a male friend?

And with someone like me, of all people?

Isn't he super handsome?

Yeah.

I bet that any girlfriend of his is a total supermodel.

- He's so handsome. - He's so handsome.

I know, right?

Why didn't you eat?

Because you weren't here.

By the way... when's your birthday?

What?

I thought that we should know each others' birthdays, since we're friends.

You're curious about so many things. Just eat.

I'm not going to do things like tell him my birthday and get my hopes up.

Then don't tell Senior Woo Young either.

- Don't tell him what? - Your birthday.

[Looking for a roommate]

[It may be a bit uncomfortable since you'll have to live in the living room]

[but we can meet and discuss details if you pay me 100,000 won per month.]

Let's split the cost.

That'll be 30,000 won.

Here you go.

Hey.

You didn't go dutch when you ate pork belly at Senior Woo Young's house.

- What? - You ate that for free

so why are you trying to go dutch on me?

Well, that's because he invited me to his housewarming.

But I was the one who asked you to see a movie with me.

And I was the one who asked you to eat dinner with me too.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Huh?

The forecast didn't say anything about rain.

I have 7,000 won left.

Will that be enough for a cab?

Wait just a bit.

Hello.

Can I get one more of these?

That's the last one we have.

- Use this to get home. - What about you?

I can just run to the bus stop.

Let's use it together.

I'll walk you home.

Let's go.

No, it's too small for us to share.

You take it.

Then you can use it.

Hey!

Hey!

You're getting all wet. Cover yourself more.

Then you'll get soaked.

Or you can come closer to me.

This umbrella is so small, huh?

Yeah.

Did you put on perfume?

No, I don't really use a lot of it these days.

Is it because I said I don't like it?

No.

I went...

to the hospital that day.

Huh?

I met up with her.

I see.

So you did.

You're not going to ask me how it was?

I know you won't like it if I ask you about it.

How... was it?

It was okay.

Really?

You should wear that perfume.

That's my decision. I don't have to do what you tell me to do.

If you don't want to, then don't.

I'm relieved.

About what?

Because you don't hate your mom anymore.

Thanks.

For what?

Seo Yoo Jin moved out of his apartment and is currently living at his bar.

His business must be doing poorly, seeing as how he moved out.

I don't know if he'll be able to feed Kyung Seok any meals.

I can't believe that even your child is stressing you out

when you have the election coming up.

Things sure are tough for you, sir.

You know where Na Hye Sung lives, right?

Let's go there.

Yes, sir.

The rain...

stopped.

You're right.

You should go now, since the rain has stopped too.

Take it. You bought it, after all.

Okay.

- Bye, then. - Bye.

Wait.

Take it. It might start raining again on your way home.

All right.

Thanks.

No.

I'm more thankful since you walked me all the way here.

Get home safely, then.

I'm going to get heart disease at this rate.

I became acutely aware of the fact...

that I can't think of Do Kyung Seok...

as just a male friend.

Be healthy.

Who is it?

Hello, CEO Na Hye Sung.

Who are you?

I apologize that our first meeting is so late at night.

My name is Jung Young Mo.

It's me.

What are you trying to do here?

Are you trying to get revenge?

How did you find out that I live here?

Did you tell someone to look into me?

Do you still think that little of me

that you'd audaciously barge into my home this late at night?

Send Kyung Seok back to me.

- What? - Playing dumb, are we?

Kyung Seok ran away from home after meeting with you yesterday.

The only thing you had to tell your son after 10 years of not seeing him...

was that I hit you?

I never told him that.

Oh, you didn't, did you?

You and I are the only two people who know about that, though.

You must've told him, then.

Where is Kyung Seok now?

What are you going to do with that information? Take him with you?

That's for Kyung Seok to decide.

If you're done here, get out.

It's been 10 years since you last saw one another, correct?

- Stop being nosy. - Yes, sir.

What's gotten into me?

Let's go.

You're back?

What are you up to?

How did you manage to sleep here?

It feels like I'll fall off if I do this.

- I usually don't move when I'm sleeping. - Sheesh.

You can sleep in the room today.

It's fine. I don't want you to fall off and end up calling 911.

I might end up going back home.

If I lose the deposit on the store and go home, my dad will beat me to death.

When are you going?

I don't know. I have to ask my mom.

You should go home too, okay? Stop messing around.

I'm not going home.

What will you do, then? How will you survive?

I'll get a part-time job and get my own place.

So bear with me until then.

Hey.

You think you're better than me, right?

But the world isn't such an easy place to survive in.

Got it?

Turn the lights off. I'm going to sleep.

You don't have any jobs you may want to pursue in the future?

No.

You refused to answer questions about your family or yourself

and you don't want to tell us what your school ranking is.

You hate having to talk a lot

and you don't want to work every day or work overtime.

And yet you want a high hourly rate?

Yes.

I think it'd be best...

for you to try and find a job yourself.

What?

There are a lot of jobs on job listing websites

and your school's online bulletin board too.

[Job Placement Office]

Why is he coming out of there?

Why are you coming out of here?

Why is he coming out of here?

Thank you.

Ta-da!

Doesn't that feel refreshing?

Here.

- Jung Ho. - Yeah?

You know that saying, "Any tree can be felled if you strike it ten times"?

That only applies to trees, and not people.

Then I guess you should give up on Do Kyung Seok too.

Why?

Because Do Kyung Seok is also a person.

- Why, you little! - Ow!

Ow!

Ow, ow!

By the way, I saw Do Kyung Seok coming out of the job placement office.

Why was he there?

It's not like a rich boy like him needs to work part-time.

I'm sure it's all for his image

to say that even the son of a congressman works part-time or something.

He's not a congressman anymore, though.

He'll become the mayor of Daejin soon.

Do Kyung Seok, that punk!

No wonder he acted that way.

Wow, unbelievable.

Who does he think he is, telling me to come and go as he pleases?

I should distance myself from him.

I'm sure it'll get better as time passes.

[Rental listings]

[Looking for a roommate]

[It may be a bit uncomfortable since you'll have to live in the living room]

[but we can meet and discuss details if you pay me 100,000 won per month.]

What are you doing?

Did you have fun watching the movie yesterday?

Yeah.

I'm a bit busy right now.

Drink up, buddy.

Huh?

I've never seen him walk so quickly.

He always seems as if everything is such a nuisance.

Whoa, he's even running?

Hey, Do Kyung Seok is running. He's running!

Wow, what was that?

Looks like I'm talking to myself again today. Yep.

What are you doing?

Hey, isn't this the shirt that Do Kyung Seok wore that time?

Wait a second, is that seriously 550,000 won?

- Hey. - Wow.

Hey, buddy.

I get that it looks cool, but don't copy other people's outfits.

I never said I'm buying it!

I'm not buying it!

"I'm not buying it!" More like, you can't buy it.

Hey.

You can drink this.

What do you know about my family's financial affairs?

Well, do enlighten me, then.

Tell me all about it.

We're better off than your family.

What do you know about my family's financial affairs?

You won't be able to graduate if you keep cutting class like this.

Are you planning to stay here another semester?

Well, it's because it's humiliating.

Would you be able to walk around confidently

after a freshman did that to you?

Then act like a real senior, apologize, and work things out

instead of avoiding him.

If I was going to do that, I should've done that back then.

It's too late now.

By the way, is it true that Do Kyung Seok...

What about him?

Never mind.

Sheesh.

What is this? Goodness.

[Chemistry Office TA Yeon Woo Young]

Long time no see.

Indeed.

You've... been doing well, I presume?

Yes.

I've actually been meaning to talk to you.

- Want to chat with me for a bit? - I'm busy right now.

Oh... you are?

Then let's talk next time.

Sure.

I wouldn't have done that if I'd known sooner.

You want to move into my place?

- Why? - I moved out of my parents' house.

You moved out, but you don't have a place to stay?

That's right.

Why don't you have a place to stay when you...

Did you run away from home?

I don't want a short-term roommate.

It won't be short-term. It'll be long-term.

Well, then.

Take a seat.

Did you read the conditions I wrote out?

Can't I pay for my first month of rent with the TV I gave you, though?

- What? - Or a microwave or a coffee maker?

I don't remember seeing either of those things at your place.

You don't have money?

I'll give you some as soon as I make some.

- So you did run away from home. - I told you, I moved out.

Did you already find a roommate?

No.

Let's do this, then.

[Contract]

You can pay me only 70,000 won per month, but you do all the housework.

Okay?

[Mr. Do will pay 70,000 won to Mr. Yeon every month as rent, and split]

[costs of all utilities with him as well as doing all the housework]

[including but not limited to taking out trash, cleaning, laundry, dishes, etc.]

If you don't want to do all the chores, you can just pay me 30,000 won extra.

I'll do all the chores around the house.

Oh, it must be that way.

Hurry in there, put the side dishes in her fridge, and come right back out.

I have to cut the watermelon for her.

The kids won't eat it unless I cut it.

I can't keep the car parked for too long, though.

All right, I'll be quick.

Oh my goodness, it's that young man.

Stop the car for a second.

What? Who is it?

Goodness, it's so nice to see you!

Do you remember me?

Yes, hello.

Hello.

Oh, yes!

Thank you so much for last time.

Where are you headed? Get in. We'll drop you off.

No, it's fine. I'm going right up the road.

I see.

Mom.

- Oh, you're here. - What brings you here?

Hello.

Hey.

He's a senior from my department.

Really?

So you're our daughter's senior!

Yes, hello. Hello.

Yes, yes.

Does he live alone too?

Yeah.

How old is he?

26, I think.

So he's six years older than you?

Give him some of these side dishes.

We should give him some watermelon too.

To Senior Woo Young?

He probably doesn't buy watermelon since he lives alone.

I'll cut it for you, so bring him some.

Hurry up and come out!

Goodness.

He could just drive around the block if he can't find parking.

Make sure to bring him some.

Yes, CEO Na?

I trust that you've been well?

Yes.

How are you feeling, by the way?

I'm fine.

Thank you so much for what you did for me.

It was nothing.

Is Kyung Seok... getting by okay?

Yes, he's doing fine.

I heard that you two met.

Oh yes, thank you for that too.

Um, can you tell me Kyung Seok's phone number?

I forgot to ask back then.

Yes, I'll send it to you right now.

All right.

Yes, goodbye. Yes.

Who is it--

Hey, Mi Rae.

My mom told me to bring you this.

Wow, your mom did?

Yes.

Goodness.

I'll give you your plates right back. Why don't you come in?

Wow, make sure you tell your mom that I'm really thankful.

All right.

You have to hurry and put this in the fridge.

All right.

Hey, why are you here?

I'm living here from now on.

What?

[My ID Is Gangnam Beauty]

You have to give me 70,000 won in rent plus money for utilities in a month.

And we pay for our own food. Got it?

Look at how sweet Senior Yeon is.

Doesn't it seem like that "Senior Yeon" guy likes Mi Rae?

- Hello. - Yes, hi.

You live with your grandma and grandpa, then?

You seem to be quite interested in my life.

I knew this was coming. Do Kyung Seok and Hyun Soo Ah, eh?

They look good together.

You haven't found a part-time job yet?

Want to interview at the place I work at?

The person you should be apologizing to

isn't me, but Kang Mi Rae.
