Hurry up.

Don't worry. It's big enough for the both of us to sleep in there.

Let's go.

No light comes in at all,

so you can sleep so sweetly.

You use the bed.

I find the floor comfortable.

Mother, I beg for your help.

Mother The security deposit is gone,

and you got fired from your job?

Yes, Mother.

You're still working part-time as a translator, right?

I am, Mother.

Please have mercy and take pity on this poor creature.

Well, that kind of hardship happens to everyone.

All right, you can stay at the boarding house.

Mom, one hundred million won's gone. Is that okay?

You're the one who blew it, not me.

You better pay me back within three years.

Well, of course.

- Also, in exchange for staying here, - What?

you will operate the boarding house yourself.

Don't forget to study hard and find a new job.

You want me to manage the boarding house?

What are you going to do while I do that?

Son! I'm going to go on a trip abroad.

Life is too short. You should enjoy it when you're young.

Mommy will have fun on her trip, so good luck, Son!

Goodbye.

A new tenant is coming today so be sure to make him feel welcome.

He's handsome and tall.

I think he said he's a PE teacher or something.

Also, there's a whacko who lives in the backroom of the second floor.

Be. Careful.

And this is how I came to live at Boarding House 5.

What the hell! Hey! You're Jae Wu, right?

When did you grow so tall?

It's good to see you.

What are you doing?

Don't get weird and all.

Nam Jae Wu, 18 years old Seol Won's younger cousin

I heard about the situation from Aunt.

Hyeong, I heard you got scammed and lost your deposit.

And fired too. Right?

Is that really the first thing you have to say?

Anyway, I was really worried about managing this boarding house.

I'm glad that you're here, man.

Bring it here.

Me? Help you?

What?

But my mom is paying the same amount as the rest of the people here.

I'm a guest at this boarding house.

- But we're still family- - Family?

You shouldn't play the family card on me like this.

Take a look. The rice cooker is empty, right?

Then what should you do? You should make more rice!

Got it?

I expect some meat, too, okay?

What's wrong with this thing?

What's wrong with this thing?

Nothing's working out today.

What the hell! Who are you?

I'm Wang Ye Min, the guy in the backroom of the second floor.

The wacko mom mentioned. Addicted to grape juice

- Oh, you're that whack- - Yes. The whacko is me.

I'm so sorry. I-

You lost money in a scam, got fired, and are managing the boarding house.

I already know who you are.

Okay. Nice to meet you.

Never mind the greeting. I just have one favor to ask.

I'm a writer.

Therefore a quiet environment is most important for me

so please keep it quiet.

I don't want to hear loud footsteps.

I hope you understand.

Yes, sir.

I should've just moved in with Bong Deok.

What's with that guy?

Recently, in the Namsa-dong neighborhood in Seoul,

a burglar has been breaking into empty houses.

The culprit seems to be targeting residential areas where CCTVs are scant.

What do you mean robbing empty houses in the 21st century?

It's not enough to work hard.

Description of Suspect Kwak Stocky, Wears Black, Copper Tanned Complexion

He's the loud one…

Just die already!

Who's being so noisy right now?

Are you the new tenant?

If you have some common sense,

please stop walking on your heels and making noise.

Understand?

Okay.

You're the new tenant, right?

Welcome. This is the boarding house uniform.

Come with me.

Come.

Is there a problem?

Oh, not at all.

I think the guy in the next room is a little unstable.

- Unstable, yes. - Yeah, unstable.

I just met him today, and…

I agree.

Let's both try to survive that whacko, okay?

For now, get some rest. I'll call you when food's ready.

- Thank you very much. - No problem. Relax.

Okay. Relax.

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

And we've got a snorer, too.

I'm sorry.

Try putting these in your nose. They will help.

Seriously.

I just said they're being noisy, so what's the big deal?

But you're asking for too much. Be reasonable.

Give us some breathing room! Really.

Hey, hey, hey…

- Come on. Do something. - You messed with the wrong guy.

You brought this on yourselves.

Give me everything you have, you bastards!

Come on. Come on!

Stop running.

Is that a rabbit?

Are you okay?

Yes…

Why, of all houses, did you break into this house?

It was so quiet that I thought nobody was here.

I'm so sorry.

I'll repent and never commit crimes again.

I'm so sorry.

Let's go.

Of course.

Our house sure is quieter than any other in the neighborhood.

Of course, of course.

Our house is really the quietest one.

Hey, why are you looking at me?

It's good to be quiet. And it's not my fault that he broke in here.

Breaking news.

The burglar in his 30's who has been breaking into vacant homes in Namsa-dong has finally been apprehended.

Surprisingly he was caught... Hello.

My name is Kim Cheol Su and I'll be living with you.

I'm glad to be joining you.

Yesterday

Looking at you, Jae Wu,

I think you've caught something.

Usually I'm in great shape,

but it looks like I caught the flu that's been going around.

I have the chills and I'm sweating a bit.

I'm actually not feeling too sick,

but I'm worried my classmates may catch it.

That's considerate of you.

You should go see a doctor. Okay?

Yes! It worked!

The BB cream magic!

Let's do this!

Today, we conquer the Bronze Rank*. (League of Legends reference)

- To the Summoner's Rift! - Let's go!

Today

I didn't know you lived here, Jae Wu.

You said you were feeling sick yesterday, but today you're fine.

Well, it's…

I just had an upset stomach.

Upset stomach.

But you said it was the flu.

What the fudge do I do?

I can't tell him I went to the PC Bang. Or should I be honest?

Let's just come clean.

I'm sorry I lied.

Anywho!

I'm glad to be your neighbor.

Sure…

Fudge no!

I cannot live with him around!

The 374th Emergency Committee Meeting of Boarding House 5

I didn't know this room existed.

And what are we doing here exactly without the lights on?

I believe the new tenant is not a good fit for this boarding house.

That's a bit out of the blue.

What do you mean he's not a good fit?

Let's hear the reason why.

There's no particular reason but

** I can't tell them that I just wanted to play hooky.

Nam Jae Wu

If you can't convince them now, you are dead meat.

My knowledge in face reading tells me he doesn't belong with us.

What the hell are you talking about?

I think it makes sense.

He's obviously the athletic type.

We, on the other hand, prefer to exercise our brains while sitting.

His physiognomy definitely is incompatible.

Seriously?

It seems the decision has been made.

Kim Cheol Su shall not join the boarding house.

You'd reject him just because of that?

I'd like to hear from the landlord.

Like Mom said, he's handsome.

But more importantly, he saved my life.

- I think- - I

like Mr. Kim Cheol Su.

What? Why?

You agreed before he doesn't belong here.

I think he has good manners.

He's cultured.

Do I really have to do this?

This place is weird.

I think he's exactly the kind of person that we need at this boarding house.

- And I agree. - Two to one.

Under democratic principles by majority vote Kim Cheol Su's tenancy

in Boarding House 5 is approved.

My dear Jae Wu.

Good luck.

Yes. Come in!

I wanted to thank you again for saving my life.

My pleasure.

It was nothing much, really.

But thanks to you I realized again how precious life is.

Well… I'm very happy about that.

I'm actually a bit busy unpacking…

Oh, sorry I'm so clueless.

No, what I mean is,

I'll need some rest after unpacking.

I didn't get it.

Go ahead and take some rest. I'll call you when the food is ready.

Okay.

I'm tired in more than one way after being involved in a weird experience.

What?

Help yourself.

Cheol Su.

Is there anything you need?

Nothing, really.

Would you like some coffee? I know how to make drip coffee.

I don't drink coffee.

So, you don't drink coffee.

Green tea it'll be, then!

Cheol-su! I made some green tea for…

Are you okay?

Let me see. Let me wash it for you.

Please…

Can you please stop?

- But you saved my- - Just stop!

This is too much!

I'm overwhelmed.

What are you doing?

You're free to share your opinion.

I think your novel is…

is a very well-written one.

What is wrong with all of you?

The purpose of this class

is to share constructive criticism to develop into better writers.

Why are we even here if everyone's lips are glued shut, not even offering constructive criticism?

Professor.

Yeah? M-me?

Isn't the intimidation of all the students an expression of frustration

with your rigid teaching method?

Can anything creative come out in such a rigid atmosphere?

- Huh? - Huh?

O-of course.

Hi!

I was really impressed with your novel, Seonbae-nim. (Term of respect for superior)

Wh-who are you?

My name is Kim Hee Su, and I have a class with you.

Oh, okay…

What's up?

I was wondering if you could critique my novel.

I'm sorry. I have a class soon.

Class?

I didn't know there were classes so late.

I just wanted to thank him for saving my life and do something for him.

I guess he's not friendly, but he could have been nicer.

Perhaps there's a way.

Something to show my appreciation that's not too much.

How about sweets?

Everyone likes sweets.

Oh! Cake!

A cake will be perfect.

As a welcome gift.

A cake won't make him feel uncomfortable.

The perfect welcome gift!

You could also write a thank you message on the cake!

Why didn't I think of that?

I'm so glad I have a friend like you.

I'll put my baking skills to good use and make the perfect cake for you!

- You'll really do that? - Yes!

Thank you, Bong Deok.

That's one less thing to worry about!

Let's eat.

Sure.

Thank you for saving my life

Bong Deok!

Seonbae.

Here's the cake.

Thank you for saving my life

Did you really make this yourself?

You really learned well!

I'm glad you like it.

Oh, right.

Why don't you move in here? Your room's too old.

We have an empty room.

Really? Then I guess-

Good timing. Perfect.

Cheol Su!

Are you okay?

My cake…

- You're always a lifesaver. - I'm not!

Cheol Su.

My biceps have gotten smaller. I need to lift weights.

Do you want me to scrub your back?

What the f*ck?

No.

Please just leave me alone!

Cheol Su-nim. Here.

Use this.

Well, you don't have to do this.

I do. No one can stop me now.

You've saved my life twice.

Cheol Su-nim. Breakfast is ready.

Let's go.

Sure.

I hope you like it.

Help yourself.

Thanks.

I didn't make any for you.

Oh, come on. What the heck.

You can have mine, then. Here.

We have a school audit inspection today.

So, I think I'll have to go now.

Come straight to school after eating.

Don't be late.

Okay.

I just want to get to know him.

Why is he so awkward around me?

All right.

Then I'll go play just one morning game.

You little punk!

Cheol Su said not to be late.

If I was scare of him I wouldn't have gotten this far.

What the…

Mr. Kim, I think I have a stomachache.

Seol Won: He needs a good scolding to get his act together.

Seol Won, you f*cker.

Scrub the toilet as you repent for your lies.

2021 Namsa High School Scholarship Report

We're in trouble.

There must be some error. The scholarship report file wouldn't open all morning.

The school inspector is arriving soon, right?

I have a backup file at home.

I'll ask someone to bring it.

Knock, knock.

Is anybody at the boarding house?

I forgot an important USB drive in my room.

I have classes, so I'm at school.

Also, have some decency and take care of your own problems.

I'm sorry.

I have an urgent situation here.

Don't worry, Cheol-su.

I can bring you the USB. It won't take long.

It just had to be Seol Won…

All right!

I finally get to do something for him!

That's disgusting.

What do we do? The inspector will be here soon.

I'll give him another call.

Here's the USB.

This is it, right?

I hope I arrived in time.

Thank you. I'll see you at home.

What?

Is that all?

- What are you up to? - Hey.

Let's go out.

I'm craving spicy food.

Thank you for everything today.

Thank you for your hard work.

- Thank you. - Thank you for everything.

- Good work. - Good work.

Thanks.

Did he run all the way here?

I could tell he's a nice guy,

but it's like he has no limits.

Anybody want these movie tickets?

What an asshole.

You took the time to help him. I can't believe that's all he said.

He's worse than I thought.

Hello?

Oh, Cheol Su-nim?

Yeah.

A movie? I'd love to.

Totally.

Where should we… Okay.

I'll see you there in a bit.

Bye.

What's going on?

Cheol Su-nim is treating me to a movie.

You can have the rest, Bong Deok.

I've got to go.

He keeps on bugging me.

♫ Don't run away ♫

♫ Look me in the eye ♫

♫ You try ♫

♫ Never give it up, give it up, give it up ♫

Why am I feeling nervous?

The showing of "Behind Cut" will soon begin.

♫ Get yourself together ♫

Cheol Su-nim?

♫ Break it up, break it up, break it up! ♫

♫ You can shake it up, ♫

♫ Make some noise ♫

I'm sorry to do this, but I don't think I can make it.

This is stupid.

Such a bummer.

Seol Won.

Did you see the movie?

No.

No. I didn't make it, either.

Did you wait for me?

I'm sorry. There was an ac-

Yes. I did.

For quite a while.

I'm so sorry about this.

Next time,

I'll treat you to a movie and a nice dinner, too.

Sure.

♫ I'm sure that ♫

♫ this is paradise ♫

Seonbae.

You have an empty room, right?

I decided to move in starting today.

Isn't this your favorite drink?

The Sorrow of Young Werther I'm sorry I startled you, Seonbae.

Isn't this your favorite drink, Ye Min?

Are you okay? Did I startle you?

Yeah.

But I'm fine.

Why do you keep sneaking up on me like this?

Every single time.

I'm sorry.

I hope I'm not making you feel uncomfortable.

About that novel I asked you to critique…

I'm sorry. I have class. I have to run.

- Sorry. - Wait!

Why does he act so weird whenever I talk to him?

Have I done something wrong?

Excuse me.

Can you teach me how to exercise?

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Nine. Nine.

Nine.

- Just stop, will you? - Just one more!

Okay. Last one, for real.

You can do this! Okay!

Let's move on!

Hi.

Thanks for the help.

If you're free after this, what do you say we go have some wine?

It's my treat.

Wine's not a good idea after workout.

Consuming alcohol can cause muscle loss.

Did you stretch after you worked out?

Stretch?

If you don't stretch after working out,

all the contracted muscles you used will be tight and sore for days.

Come with me.

Let me show you how to properly stretch your muscles.

Thanks. I'll pass.

I told you. Stretching is a must.

I told you I'd pass! I'm done!

Stretching is good…

Stretching is good.

I hope I'm not making you uncomfortable.

Why does she keep following me? It's like she's stalking me.

She freaks me out every time.

What the heck?

Why is nobody answering the door?

Stop ringing! I'm coming!

Seonbaenim, do you live here?

What a coincidence!

What are the odds?

What…

Hi.

There is a stalker standing in front of my door.

Please be quick.

Did you just call the police?

Did you do it for real?

- It's not what you think. - No.

- Just listen to me. - I'm sorry.

Hey!

Hey, look!

Seonbaenim!

Hey!

What the heck?

What a coincidence.

Seol Won.

Are you going somewhere, Cheol Su-nim?

I'm meeting with my friends so I'm going to take a bus.

Me too.

I see.

What do I say?

Should I talk about that movie we missed?

This is awkward.

He'll be uncomfortable if I try to make small talk.

Why is my heart pounding so when he's just my tenant?

Oh right!

What time is it?

I'll be late.

I think I'll have to catch a taxi.

I'll see you.

I'm not stalking you, so don't get the wrong idea.

You aren't?

What?

Isn't this weird?

How can we cross paths so many times?

It's not like there's some weird destiny between us.

Seonbae!

Here!

You're early, too.

What are you doing here?

I met him on the way.

Anyway, why did you want to come here? I almost got lost.

This place is famous. It's really good.

Let's go in.

I'll see you later. For real this time.

Sure.

What the heck?

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Do you want to go home together?

It's as if they were meant to happen.

Perhaps it was

destiny that brought us together.

I'm going.

See you.

Bong Deok, I have to go to an appointment I have.

What?

How could there suddenly be an appointment so late?

What about the second round?

Well,

I hope you enjoy the rest of the night.

I'll see you later then.

Being honest is a difficult thing.

♫ I feel alive ♫

There are plenty who can't do that

and have to take a detour.

♫ The bright sunlight ♫

♫ You make me feel more and more be lonely ♫

For some, that might not be difficult,

♫ I'm gonna change by myself one by one ♫

but sometimes it's the emotion you have to hide...

♫ Someday I'll be shy ♫

♫ Someday I'll be shy ♫ that gives you the toughest time.

♫ I believe in my inside ♫

♫ Day by day ♫

♫ Someday I'll be fine ♫

♫ Someday I'll be sure ♫

Cheol Su. It's cold out here.

Are you okay?

I can't get a taxi.

Police

I apologize.

I didn't know you were Cheol Su's younger sister.

It's understandable that the story is obviously

related to the prior situation.

Still, you could have listened to me before reporting me as a stalker to the police.

That's why I apologized.

Huh?

Are you annoyed with me?

And you're speaking casually on top of that.

No, I didn't raise my voice.

I'm sorry, Hui Su.

I'm just trying to be comfortable as you suggested.

This was my first time coming to the police station,

so it was a good experience as a writer.

I forgive you.

But in return, I have a favor to ask you.

What is it?

Critique my novel and give me some advice.

And be nice about it.

Okay, okay.

Aren't there plenty others who can critique your novel, though?

I had an epiphany when I saw your presentation.

That a writer needs fortitude and charisma.

I'll read through it once and give you feedback.

At least ten times…

Or five?

How about four?

Okay. Thank you.

Four times.

Hooray.

Can we use up one of the opportunities right now?

Why don't we talk about it over drinks?

Come with me.

Awesome.

Soju?

I make the best somaek*. (*Somaek: a mixture of soju and beer)

I'm sure you'll like it.

♫ When did this start? ♫

♫ I'm surprised at myself that even I didn't know about ♫

♫ It's a bit awkward, but I can only smile when I see you ♫

♫ The end of the long winter. When did it start? ♫

Come to think of it, is Seol Won dating anyone?

What's going on between us?

♫ I like you ♫

You, who is getting closer step by step

Could it be that he's into me?

♫ When we coincidentally met each other ♫

♫ I remember everything ♫

What am I thinking? I must be crazy.

♫ Brightly shining ♫

What the f*ck!

That's what I want to say. You have a problem.

How long have you been there?

That's not the important thing.

Go out and see.

The reason why I picked this place, paying 50,000 won extra,

was because it was clean and well-managed.

This is not what I'm paying for.

This never happened with the old landlady around.

You call this a boarding house?

This is more like a pigpen.

Right. This is your responsibility.

If this continues, we will hold an emergency committee meeting

and vote you out of the house.

You know the emergency committee meeting is a freaking dangerous thing.

He's right.

What's the emergency committee?

Just play along.

He's right.

Do your duties.

Come on.

I could die.

There's so much to do. When will I ever finish?

Cheol Su, I can do the cooking.

I'll do it. I feel like cooking today.

Take a seat. It's almost ready.

It smells good.

Do you like soybean soup?

It's my favorite.

Try it.

Okay.

It looks like the power's out.

Yeah.

Let me go get some candles.

I know where to find some.

I'm sorry.

That was…

There, too.

I'm so sorry.

I'll go find some.

W-what?

You can't touch me there.

I'm sorry.

Have at it.

Thanks.

This is better than my mom's.

You're kidding.

You did so much work today. Eat up.

Thank you.

- You know, - You know,

You can go first.

Well…

Why don't we-

You two.

What are you doing with the lights off?

Hey, Bong Deok.

Also, you reset the fuse box when power goes out.

Yeah.

Seol Weon.

Let's…

What?

Let's go to the movies together tomorrow.

A movie…

Sure.

I'd love to go to the movies with you.

Great.

I'll let you get to sleep.

Sleep tight.

You, too, Seol Won.

Thanks.

Yes, yes!

Yes, yes!

♫ It tickles too much to bare ♫

♫ My heart is going ahead of me ♫

♫ But I can only smile when I stand in front of you ♫

Seol Won,

♫ When I walk with you ♫

did you wait long?

Not at all.

♫ My heart melts like the snow in spring ♫

The movie's starting soon. Let's go in.

Sure.

♫ I like you ♫

May I see your tickets?

♫ Would it be okay to approach? ♫

♫ The moment your hand touched mine ♫

You paid for the movie, so drinks are on me.

Okay, sounds great.

♫ You and I are shining bright ♫

This is great.

Are you okay?

Wake up. We're almost home.

Cheol Su, you're a total mystery.

What are you?

When you're around, sometimes I'm happy and sometimes I'm uncomfortable.

Why do you keep picking me up and letting me down?

♫ It's only you who takes color ♫

I'll carry you.

♫ You who came to me like a special gift ♫

♫ I like you so much ♫

♫ I'm careful to even approach one step at a time ♫

♫ the moment you pulled my hand again ♫

Maybe it's because I like you.

♫ My heart that used to be quiet is trembling and beating ♫

♫ Shining brightly ♫

♫ In this moment, I feel ♫

♫ as if we're in a movie scene with flower petals everywhere ♫

♫ Sign, that's full of spring light ♫

Good afternoon!

You're late.

It's basic manners to be on time for anything.

You should learn to be flexible.

You don't have to be so strict about everything.

Do we have two sessions left?

Can we not count this one? Think of it as a casual meeting.

No way.

Let's get started.

Cheapskate.

Look. you don't have to add an event to the story

just for character development.

You have to put yourself in their shoes

and let them speak for themselves.

Hey, Hui Su, are you listening?

You're nicer than I thought.

I just want your writing to get better.

Plus, you're Cheol Su's sister.

Time's up. That's it for today.

What? Yes.

Do you want to have soju--

I can't. That'll ruin my routine.

This is it for today.

I heard you used to go out with Ji Su.

How did you…

Everybody at school knows about this.

Some people told me that I remind them of Ji Su in some ways.

- Is that why… - I'm sorry.

I have a bus to catch.

See you later.

He's one tough puzzle to figure out.

Oh, why?

Why do I keep thinking about her?

Seriously.

What is it?

What the heck? Don't you know how to knock?

Oh, I'm sorry.

You idiot!

- Have some etiquette! - What a whack job.

Why does nobody lock the door in this house?

My eyes…

Where is it?

Did I surprise you? I'm sorry.

It's fine.

Thank you.

I'll wait outside till you're done.

Teacher.

A chicken bone got stuck in my throat during lunch,

and my body temperature suddenly dropped, and what do you call it…

My prefrontal lobe has not been functioning.

So, I think I'll have to go home early today.

I'll get back to the classroom.

Okay!

- You can go. - Huh?

Thank you.

But,

you'll have to answer some questions for me before you go.

What?

So,

you want information about Hyeong Seol Won?

Yeah.

Hyeong Seol Weon and I go back a long time.

Seol Won.

Information about Seol Won.

I have nothing.

You're his cousin. You should know at least something.

Whatever he likes is none of my business.

If you're done, can I go now?

I have many things to do.

Okay.

- Get lost fast. - Sure.

What does Seol Won like?

What does Seol Won like?

Why did you want to see me?

I'll cut to the chase.

How do you feel about Seol Won?

Why would I answer that?

Namsa University

I first met him when I just started at the university.

Seoul, which I first experienced at age 20 was a completely unfamiliar world.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

♫ Every time I remember ♫

Aren't you a Japanese literature major?

I am.

If you're not taken, do you want to team up with me?

♫ Try again ♫

Will that be okay?

Of course.

- Okay. I'd like that. - Really?

He was the first one who reached out to me.

♫ Away, anything, anywhere you remember ♫

♫ Maybe I try ♫

♫ So make me I cry ♫

Sit.

♫ Ever since in my life without you ♫

♫ Day by day ♫

♫ So maybe I try ♫

They have great tteokbokki here.

Boss, make it extra spicy, please.

♫ Every thing, every time, I ♫

Anytime you need company for lunch, call me.

Thanks.

Enjoy.

Is it too spicy?

♫ Anything, anywhere you remember ♫

No. I love spicy food.

Especially spicy rice cake.

♫ Make me I cry ♫

♫ Cause ever since in my life without you ♫

Help yourself.

That's when it all began.

Good, right?

I started falling for him.

At first, I denied my feelings,

but I couldn't hide it.

I've liked him ever since.

♫ I think my life ♫

♫ I lived in lie ♫

Do you understand?

I don't know about you, but my feelings for him are deep.

If you're not serious about him, please stop now.

Stop what?

Didn't you listen to what I just said?

I'm never going to give up.

You might want to play hard to get or be flirting.

But my feelings for him are sincere.

Who do you think you are to judge me like that?

I'm okay with him not liking me back.

But, I'll never let you lead him on.

It's disgusting.

Let me…

Let me make one thing clear.

You might have the wrong idea about me,

but I am serious about Seol Won.

That'll be it for our last session.

I won't take any questions.

Thank you for everything.

Seonbae,

aren't you interested in dating at all?

Why do you ask such a random question?

Answer the question.

Your advice on my novel wasn't the only thing I was after.

I'm not answering that, so don't ask.

Did you spend time with me because I'm like Ji Su?

It's nothing like that.

You're not the most sociable person.

But you took the time to see me and offered kind advice to me.

I'm sure you also have some feelings for me.

I like you.

If you're not serious about him, please stop now.

Seol Won!

Cheol Su!

What's that you're holding?

I went shopping and bought some groceries.

Have you

known Bong Deok for a long time?

Bong Deok?

In college we had the closest senior-junior relationship.

Once you really get to know him,

you'll see that he's a great guy.

I see.

He seems to care for you deeply.

That's why he even gave me a warning.

Why would he give you a…

He told me not to lead you on.

But he was wrong.

I've given this a lot of thought,

and I decided that I don't want to be just another tenant to you.

Cheol Su.

I'm used to it, but because it might confuse you.

I've been thinking about it.

But I've been

having a hard time because of you

since the first day I moved in to the boarding house.

Cheol Su, I…

Bong Deok, time for breakfast.

♫ You say you want to try again ♫

♫ To fly away to save the light ♫

♫ Truth better not going to be with you ♫

Dear Seonbae Seol Won ,

I'm sorry I left suddenly only leaving this letter.

♫ You know you need to try again ♫

♫ To learn my ♫

Boss, make it extra spicy, please.

You might have heard it from Cheol Su,

♫ So, you were not going to be away ♫

but I'm afraid if I stay at the boarding house any longer,

it will only make you feel uncomfortable.

♫ So maybe I try, so make me I cry ♫

Even though we were always close,

I could never be honest to you, and all I did was agonize.

♫ So maybe I try ♫

♫ So make me I cry ♫

To tell you the truth, I liked you with all my heart.

♫ I remember ♫

It's way too spicy.

Why does he even like this?

♫ Anything, anywhere you remember ♫

Seol Won

♫ So make me I cry ♫

♫ Cause ever since in my life without you ♫

♫ So maybe I try ♫

♫ So make me I cry ♫

♫ Everything, Every time I'm on your mind ♫

Cheol Su

Missed Call

Bong Deok

Let's do this.

Let me show you how a proper spike is done.

Teach! Teach! Watch out!

Teach!

Teach, Teach, Teach. Are you okay?

I told you to watch out!

Hey! Teach! Teach! Teach!

Teach! Teach!

How are you feeling? Do you recognize me?

Oh, Jae Wu...

How long have I been here?

I was worried about you! I thought you died!

Jae Wu.

What?

When you kiss someone,

does that mean you're with them?

What?

Look at who you're asking. On top of that, I'm a high school student.

If you want love counseling,

you can go ahead.

I know all about dating.

- Really? - Yeah.

When did it start?

I don't remember exactly.

So lame. Stuff like that matters.

Was it a Jamanchu* or an arranged date? (Meeting a romantic partner naturally)

A Jaman… what?

It means "meeting someone naturally".

You kids make up words for everything.

I think so.

I think… it was.

Was it or do you think so?

Did you admit it and receive a definite response?

By the looks of it I see you did a half-ass job.

Teacher.

Confessing by yourself, creating misunderstanding,

that's a no-no.

It's okay. Things like that can happen.

Where are you going?

Teach.

Teach! I... What is it?

I gave you free counseling, so can I go home early?

Stop the waterworks.

It's because the food is too spicy.

Did everything go well with him?

Well, that's…

He looks like an asshole, but I think he's a good guy.

Think about yourself, idiot.

You, too.

I'm sure you had a tough time

until you finally decided to tell me.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry, Bong Deok.

I'm sorry…

And thank you, Seonbae.

2021 - The 36th Namsa Literature Grand Prize Kim Hye Su

You wanted to see me just to show this?

I won the award thanks to you.

Thank you.

Let me treat you to a nice meal.

No, thanks.

Do you have anything else to tell me?

I don't.

I see.

Thank you for helping me with my novel.

The person you called is not answering.

Seol Won!

Seol Won!

[Seol Won] Can you come meet me at the park?

Seol Won!

Cheol Su.

You had me worried.

I looked everywhere for you.

Actually, I was out meeting with Bong Deok.

I see.

After all, we did rush things a bit between us.

So, that's fine.

You know, things like this can happen to anyone.

Thank you for everything.

I hope you…

Oh! Boarding House
