He's going to die of suffocation.

Who are you?

Doesn't your head feel heavy with that bird's nest on top of it?

Are we brothers now?

Why? You don't want to?

Sure, I want to. Just wondering what the changes between us are.

Will you love me more?

What do you mean love?

Then are you going to be nicer to me?

Sure. I guess I can be nicer to you.

How are you going to do that?

Like this?

Ham.

And bean sprouts.

Here.

Kimchi.

So you'll give me anything I want?

Then I want a scooter, a new house, a car and what else is there?

Two scooters.

One car.

One house.

What else do you want? An airplane?

Here's one. And here's a train.

That came out rather well considering I did it while I was drunk.

It hurts!

Take a look. I pierced it all right.

It hurts.

You're exaggerating, boy.

Han-gyeol.

Han-gyeol!

What?

Han-gyeol.

-Han-gyeol! -Jeez!

What is so funny?

Han-gyeol.

Han-gyeol.

Hello.

It's me.

What are you doing right now?

Do you want to eat lunch together?

I'll come pick you up.

I have an appointment.

Are you avoiding me?

I can't say that I'm not.

How long do you plan to keep this up?

Okay.

I will wait until you're ready.

Call me.

Han-gyeol! Can you ring up table seven?

Okay!

-Anything else with your lattes? -Eun-chan?

Yes, Han-gyeol?

Thank you, goodbye.

Just felt like seeing you.

I'm really busy.

Oh, Eun-chan!

What?

I just felt like seeing you again.

You're teasing me just because I teased you this morning.

You're childish.

Koh Eun-chan!

So, were you with the boss this morning?

Do you like each other?

You're talking nonsense.

Why would the boss like someone like me?

Also, I'm a guy.

You're a girl.

What matters is that you're drawn to the person.

Are you threatening me right now?

But I promised to clean your place!

When? Today?

Tomorrow?

I'll clean it this week.

Why do you keep laughing? Is this funny?

Don't you think this is funny?

Jeez!

Jeez! Watch where you're going!

This is the manager's earring!

It's mine, you idiot!

Even if it is yours, you don't need to shout.

Boss, can I get a latte... I mean...

-Say something. What the heck? -Darn it.

What?

So tell me!

Since when were you guys blood brothers?

Since yesterday.

My grandma thought he was cute and said we should be blood brothers.

Blood brothers?

Then you two will share the inheritance!

How could your grandma do such a thing?

I knew you first and I'm much closer to you.

Does that bind you legally to him?

Get to work.

Take the waffles, Ha-rim!

Jeez! How could Han-gyeol do this to me?

I'm a lot closer to him than Eun-chan is.

But he became blood brothers with Eun-chan instead of me!

-Are you that blind? -What do you mean?

The manager likes Eun-chan. Didn't you know?

What are you talking about?

The two like each other. Is that weird?

It happens all the time in Japan.

You knew that too, Mr. Hong.

That Eun-chan and boss are in love.

Those boys don't like each other.

If you have the time for such idle chatter,

get to work!

I think you know what I'm talking about.

I knew Min-yeop couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Hello?

Eun-chan, this is Han Yoo-joo.

Hello.

Try the pastries.

Okay.

I know I should say something,

but I don't know what to say now that you are here.

I think I'm nervous.

I am too, a bit.

I was hesitant to see you, Eun-chan.

Honestly, I used to have a crush on Han-sung...

before I knew that you were Girl B.

How about now?

I still like him a lot,

but not in that way.

I have someone I like.

Han-gyeol?

Stop joking around with me.

Yes.

Why aren't you telling Han-gyeol that you're a girl?

I thought about it a lot too.

But he wants me to be his blood brother.

If he finds out that I'm a girl, I can't be around him like now.

Plus, things aren't bad the way they are.

I don't know what this is going to sound like,

but you don't have to worry about me.

Okay, I won't.

What?

Tell me, Han-gyeol. Are you in love with Eun-chan?

Why would I be in love with a man?

Then you shouldn't hang out with him all the time.

Why are you acting like this?

I didn't want to tell you this.

But Seon-gi keeps telling people that you and Eun-chan are in love.

It's not just Seon-gi.

Mr. Hong keeps smiling when he sees the two of you together.

Min-yeop keeps gawking at you and Eun-chan.

The café's atmosphere is weird these days with you two.

Do people have nothing better to do than spread rumors?

Anyway, how are things with your dad?

He says he doesn't need a son who doesn't follow his will.

He said that it was a mistake spending so much money on tutors

to send an idiot like me to medical school.

He was screaming at me, saying I'm a waste of his money!

Why is he so obsessed with money?

It must be difficult for you too.

Did you waver because I gave you a hard time?

No, it's not like that.

It would be easier if it was because of me.

Then all I would have to do is change.

I'm still trying to figure out

what came over me.

All I know is...

that this has happened to you too.

For the two years after we separated,

I wasted so much time trying to understand you.

Now that it's happening to me...

Are you saying that it isn't a mistake? That it's love?

I was in love with him at that time.

What do you want me to do?

I'll take care of things with Eun-chan.

I was worried that Eun-chan would end up hurting you.

But she ended up hurting me instead.

Let's go on a vacation.

Please?

Stop.

Wow, you're fast.

Why didn't you tell me you're going grocery shopping for eggs?

You're always telling me to just follow you.

Are you trying to be a man of mystery?

Maybe a movie star?

Do I have to brief you that we need milk,

chocolate syrup, kiwis to top waffles,

and a new plate since you broke one today?

When was your first kiss?

You always change the topic if you have nothing to say.

Was it with Yoo-joo?

Hey! What kind of person would I be if I kissed my cousin's girlfriend?

I tried. But I got rejected.

Then was I your first kiss?

Idiot.

Since Yoo-joo was your first love,

if you didn't kiss her, then that leaves me.

I told you that I loved Han Yoo-joo for nine years,

but I didn't say that I loved only Han Yoo-joo for nine years.

Isn't that the same thing?

How is that the same thing?

Saying that I loved Han Yoo-joo means I loved Han Yoo-joo.

But saying that I loved only Han Yoo-joo means I loved only Han Yoo-joo.

Get it?

Then who was your first kiss?

Another Korean student in America.

How many times did you meet her?

Three times.

So you kissed her after seeing her three times?

Did you sleep with her?

We didn't sleep together.

Why is that?

I liked her friend.

What?

You're so mean!

You jerk.

Don't you talk to your brother like that!

-What? I'm mean? -It hurts.

Say, "I'm sorry, Han-gyeol."

You're being mean!

-If you don't listen, I'll pinch you. -Ouch!

I didn't do anything wrong!

I'm sorry, Han-gyeol!

Say, "You're hot, Han-gyeol."

But you're not that hot at all.

-You're hot, Han-gyeol. -There you go.

Why do we have to spend our summer working

-while everyone else is going on vacation? -That feels great.

This air-conditioned shop is better than going on vacation.

But it's no fun here.

Anyway, what do we do about the concert? Shouldn't we prepare?

Stop!

I want to play a big instrument.

A drum this big or a trumpet this big.

-Or a-- -Do you know how to play them?

-No. -Just massage my shoulders.

How about we throw a party instead of a concert?

I'm a pretty good dancer, you know.

How about wrestling, boxing, or Korean wrestling?

-Wrestling! -Korean wrestling!

Will you shut up and clean?

Okay, Han-gyeol.

It must be nice to be able to call the boss by his name.

Why don't you just tell him that you're a girl?

You'd better shut up! What the heck?

On guard! Take that!

I'll dance to accompany your sword fight.

Hey, go clean.

This is fun!

-All together! -This is so fun!

It hurts.

What were you doing,

jumping from the second floor in your bare feet?

My dad was trying to cut my hair and locked me up inside the house.

Your family is so strange, trying to lock you up

when you just wanted to visit your mom for her birthday.

Your dad must like you a lot.

If I were him, I would have thrown you out.

I wish he would just leave me alone.

Oh, my god! A cockroach! It's a cockroach!

How can you live in a place like this, Seon-gi?

I don't think I can live here even for one day.

Then don't come here next time.

That's not what I meant.

What do you think you're doing? Hitting Seon-gi like that!

You conniving bastard!

Why are you making Eun-chan clean for you?

Couldn't you just keep her secret out of good will?

Angel! I bought what you told me to buy.

Angel my butt.

Your angel hasn't left Seon-gi's side since we got here.

Why are you doing this?

Just sit down and rest.

I'll do everything.

Then you should go.

And wash these, okay?

Okay.

Hey, the television!

Bring that back!

Does it even work?

Throw this away!

And throw away this mosquito net!

What does this say?

Try reading it aloud?

Try reading it aloud.

Angel.

Let's go out now.

I'll buy you chicken feet.

Hey, what do you mean chicken feet?

Did you do the dishes?

No, I was about to hang these.

Then wash the dishes.

And take the garbage out.

I'll hang Seon-gi's clothes.

What are you waiting for?

Hey! Don't do it, Min-yeop.

Is Min-yeop your servant?

He always does everything I tell him to do.

Don't you, Min-yeop?

Hey.

Move over, I'll do it.

You'll just end up breaking the dishes. Move aside.

What else did you tell me to do?

Can you get me a glass of water, Min-yeop?

Get your water yourself.

Hey! Stop.

You, follow me.

Hey!

I like those guys a lot.

How can you embarrass me in front of them?

What are you going to do? Hit me?

You shouldn't walk all over me just because I'm in love with you!

I never asked you to love me!

Just give up! I don't like you following me around.

You're stupid and just strong.

It's embarrassing to show you to my friends.

Goddamn it!

I knew that Min-yeop would blow a fuse at you one of these days.

Do you really hate Min Yeop?

Just go and apologize to him tomorrow.

Beg for his forgiveness.

People bond as they fight, you know.

Like you and your manager?

Did you have to bring that up?

Him and I, we're blood brothers now.

Blood brothers?

Fine. Laugh all you want.

But I still get to see him every day, be with him,

fool around with him, and talk to him. It's great.

You would want to become more than that.

You'll want to hold his hand, hug him, and even kiss him.

You have such a dirty mind!

I like the way things are right now, okay?

By the way, that musician guy hasn't called you in a while.

He must be busy.

Something happened, right?

We kissed.

I knew it.

I thought you were being too nice to him these days.

Keep that up and you'll end up getting involved with both men.

I'm over that guy already, okay?

He has a girlfriend.

But why did he do that to me?

Did I confuse him?

You should draw the line.

-Take that! -No, just leave it.

-Oh, my god! -The weather is so incredibly hot today!

-For crying out loud! -Hold on.

-Ma'am! -Jeez!

Are you guys married?

Do we look like it?

Don't get married if you're not.

Things seem perfect between you two as they are.

She says she doesn't want to marry me.

I can tell from that sly smile that you're quite a playboy.

I caught him cheating on me not long ago.

She left me for another guy two years ago and came back to me just recently.

Good for you.

Ma'am, do you have any Pokémon figures here?

Of course.

-We could have gone further! -Let's do it again.

Why are you so bad at this?

Flower watching in the spring and going to the ocean in the summer.

Watching the leaves in the fall and the snow in the winter.

And?

Eat delicious food and experience fun things together.

And?

Get married and have children.

I'm afraid of what you'll say next.

Maybe you get my hopes up just to shatter them.

You asked me to tell you what I would like to do with you.

The things I would like to do with you, not what I'm going to.

Take it.

3 MISSED CALLS, KIDDO

It was cut off.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry!

I had my scariest experience when I was in ninth grade.

My mom had a big fight with her lover.

So I got angry, stormed into my room, and slammed the door shut by mistake.

I was shaking all over because I was afraid she would hit me.

No way. Did you?

I'm a very timid person.

I have a lot of fear.

I met Eun-chan yesterday.

Give her a call.

The kid is trying to put this behind her and you should help her as an adult.

I will when I'm ready.

Adults are slow to act because we think too much.

1 TEXT MESSAGE, KIDDO

You got a text message.

Aren't you curious about what it says?

I bet you were the one who kissed Eun-chan.

Oh, I can't remember.

Oh, my. You're trying to avoid it.

-My stomach! -Where are you going?

-To the restroom. -You smell!

You're so funny.

Even if I call him,

what am I going to say?

"How are you?"

Are you doing well?

I'm doing well.

Please call me when you have time.

Bye!

Did you enjoy it?

Hello? I have a question.

It's called the Jeonga Kindergarten. Yes.

I asked you if you enjoyed it.

Yes, street number three? Okay, thank you.

Give it to me!

That's why you should have answered my question!

How did it feel to have Eun-sae stick by you like that?

Give me that memo.

I really liked you and did everything you asked but you...

Instead of discouraging her,

you kept on talking to Eun-sae and smiling at her!

Let go of me!

You stupid bastard!

I told you not to curse in Japanese!

You fell for a bitch and now you forgot your chain of command.

She is not a bitch!

Do you want to fight me too?

Let go of me!

Hey, where are you going?

Hello?

How are you doing?

This is Myeong-jae.

Oh, hello.

Are you in Sydney right now?

No. I'm in Korea.

I'm here to meet a buyer.

How are your mom and wife...

How is Han-gyeol doing?

You're okay with wine, right?

Just drink half a glass.

I was going to go home on the weekend.

I've been calling grandma every two to three days.

Cancer progresses much more slowly for the elderly

so don't worry too much.

I would appreciate it if you didn't tell mom

that I knew the secret of my birth.

Why did you ask me to come here?

How much do you know?

You had an affair and I was born out of wedlock.

My mom right now isn't my biological mother.

You only took me in after leaving me in an orphanage for three years.

What kind of a person was my birth mother?

She was a warm and affectionate person.

She studied hard from a young age and became a middle school math teacher.

She was a very tenacious woman who didn't like to lose.

Did she leave you?

Or did you leave her, Dad?

I left her.

There was nothing else I could do then.

How did she pass away?

From a car accident, before you turned one year old.

I wasn't ready to take on a burden of a child at the time.

I wasn't confident that I could persuade your grandma.

I wasn't good enough.

Of course.

No wonder you sent me to an orphanage!

Jeez, why isn't he answering his phone?

I'll try calling him again.

Hello?

Hello, son.

You're doing well, right?

Of course, I'm good.

Is your business going well?

Yes.

Mom.

What is it?

Do you have a favor to ask me?

You know how much I love you, don't you?

Of course.

I love you too, son.

Thank you, mom.

Thank you.

Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?

Should I put your grandma on?

No, I'm hanging up now.

Okay. Goodbye.

Han-gyeol says that he is thankful.

That softhearted child must have gone through such worry.

You did the right thing.

It's better that you take the blame, son.

So, is Lee Myeong-jae in Korea?

It would be better if he stayed away.

He said he came for business reasons.

Business?

Then he should mind his business and leave instead of calling you.

What is he trying to do?

You better take care of this.

I can't let Han-gyeol meet him.

It's his first time in Seoul in 15 years.

I can't just let him go back like that.

I should at least talk to him in person.

This is why I hate you.

I won't give up my son!

How dare he walk back into our lives.

Lee Myeong-jae didn't say anything about that.

Why are you jumping to conclusions?

Let's wait and see what happens.

Mom.

If he says something about Han-gyeol, bring him to me.

He wouldn't do that.

You better take care of this.

Otherwise, it's over between you and me!

Hi, this is the delicious Coffee Prince.

Is delicious Coffee Prince your name?

Boss?

Boss?

I mean, Han-gyeol!

-Were you sleeping? -No, I wasn't.

Anyways, where are you?

Well...

Why didn't you pick up the phone all day?

Well...

You're making me curious again.

Where are you?

Well...

Are you home or at the coffee shop?

What's this sound?

You're here!

I've been looking for you all day long!

Hi!

If I win, you owe me a lobster this big!

You're always thinking about food.

There's no going back on the bet.

Don't ask me to cut it out of your salary.

Not this time. I want cash.

Bend your knees.

How many times do I have to tell you? Bend your knees.

Hold your stance like this.

Hit the ball like that.

You must be a good batter.

-I'm going to put the money in. -Okay, put it in.

-Keep your eyes open. -Eyes open.

-Think of someone you hate! -Koh Eun-chan!

Jeez! Go!

It's coming. Come on!

Hit it! Swing the bat!

Are all those muscles just for show?

I haven't done this in a long time.

So, why are we playing ball this late?

-Because I'm frustrated. -Why are you frustrated?

Koh Eun-chan. Let's go see the ocean.

The ocean?

Okay!

Hey! Jeez!

Hey, you have to slow down on the curves.

Do you think this is a scooter?

Gosh, aren't you scared for your life?

Stop the car!

Stop telling me how to drive.

I'm doing fine on my own.

For Pete's sake! I guess my life is in your hands.

-If you make a scratch! -"I'll take money from your salary!"

Is that what you were going to say?

It's fine by me.

Jeez!

What?

I think I just saw a ghost in the rearview mirror!

Don't lie to me!

Take a look!

Oh, my god!

This is so fun.

Were you scared?

It's so dark. It feels like we are in a whale's belly.

We are inside a whale's belly.

Pinocchio.

I wonder if the whale will throw us up if we light a candle?

Throw us up!

You jerk! Come on in!

It's really cool in here.

I'll pass.

Hey. When is your birthday?

In December.

Blood type?

Type O.

I'm type B.

I hate men with type B blood.

Why don't you like them?

They're ill-tempered, petty, and really mean.

That's not true.

That's just a stereotype. You shouldn't think that.

Men with type B blood are all different.

They're tough, loyal, warm...

Forget about it.

Hey, wait for me!

What kind of a person does that?

You have your facts wrong.

Men with type A blood are like that.

Okay, I know.

Jeez! You're so annoying sometimes.

Stop.

Since when did you start liking toys?

I played a lot with toys since I was young and it just happened.

Didn't you have friends?

Why did you play with toys?

The other kids hated me.

Why?

As you know, I have a bad temper.

It was ten times worse then.

I got angry at people who were nice to me and punched people easily.

Why?

I don't know.

I think I just got angry for no reason, now that I think about it.

I heard that my birth mother was a middle school math teacher.

My dad finally told me.

Why are you smiling, talking about that?

It's not funny at all.

Koh Eun-chan.

Isn't it nice to have a brother?

Do you like me just as a brother?

What do you like most about me?

What?

I mean, as a brother.

You're joking around again.

What do you like most about me?

I'm really cute, aren't I?

How about you? What do you like about me?

Everything.

Just as a brother.

Peekaboo!

Let's go.

Why are you looking around?

It's just between brothers.

I guess.

I found it!

Let's just go home.

We need to see the sunrise now that we're here.

It's really hard to come here often.

Wouldn't it be better to go home and get some sleep

since we have to work tomorrow?

It's not like we're going to faint if we don't sleep for a day.

It might be a little difficult for you since you're so old.

You look really sleepy.

Sleep for a little bit.

It's just between brothers.

Koh Eun-chan.

I don't think I can take it any longer.

As of today, you're fired.

Mom's going to kill you when you get home.

Oh, I'm dead.

You must be so tired.

You should go home and get some rest.

You're fired.

What?

Being blood brothers won't work. We shouldn't see each other again.

Stop with the jokes, will you? I'll see you later.

Hey!

When did you come home this morning?

I got back very early.

Sure, you did! How could you stay out all night like that?

Quit your job if you'll keep this up!

Mom, I'm late. Bye!

-Hi! -Hello, Mr. Gu!

-Be careful or you'll choke! -Okay.

Ji-hyang!

What are you doing here so early?

Why did you ignore my calls and keep avoiding me?

I did no such thing.

I just figured that we would run into each other

since we live in the same neighborhood.

I need a definite answer today no matter what.

If you didn't like my proposal, then I can propose again in a better way.

Forget it. I don't want you to propose to me.

Ji-hyang, why don't we go on a cruise down the Han River?

We'll be able to see the beautiful night skyline of Seoul!

I already did that a long time ago. I'm good.

Is it because of Mr. Hong? Is that it?

Goodness!

I don't want to accept your proposal and that's final!

Mom, your friend Dong-suk's on the line for you.

Ji-hyang!

Ji-hyang!

Hello.

You're late again!

Hello!

Hello.

Boss!

Did you sleep well?

Boss!

Did something happen?

Boss!

Is there something wrong?

You need to tell me what's going on.

Did I do something wrong again?

I told you that you're fired this morning.

Why so suddenly?

I'll clear your debt. Don't come back to the café anymore.

Why are you doing this to me?

Don't ever show up here again. Do you hear me?

Why are you acting like this again?

You always fire me whenever you get angry.

I'm not leaving.

I'm never going to leave!

Working here might be a joke to you but for me...

But, I'm... I'm never leaving!

Okay, then I'll leave.

Aren't you being a bit too mean?

You're the one who wanted to be blood brothers!

So how can you change like this all of a sudden?

I'm this kind of a person. Didn't you know?

No, I didn't know.

How can you play around with a person's feelings like this?

I don't like you.

I don't like you anymore. So don't ever bother me again!

You'll change your mind someday.

You always change your mind so you will.

I really hate you.

Why? Because you love me?

Why are you laughing?

Is it that easy for you?

I guess it is.

Oh, I guess it's nothing for you.

But I can't handle it.

I'm here to set things straight once and for all.

Do you like Ji-hyang? Do you?

Give me a definite answer!

-What? -Well?

-Jeez! -Why do I have to--

This is so annoying! Why am I doing this?

Kim Ji-hyang, this is Hong Gye-sik.

Are you in love with Yeong-dal from the butcher shop?

Then do you like me?

Because you're not my type!

You're not my type either! All right?

You heard it correctly, right?

Then what is the impediment

that is blocking our love?

Gye-sik, I beg of you!

Please be a bridge for Ji-hyang and my love!

Leave me out of your lover's quarrel!

Oh, my god!

-A café Americano. -Okay.

Eun-chan is in a bad mood.

Min-yeop is also in a bad mood.

Han-gyeol is nowhere to be seen.

There is also a customer who wants the seeds out of the kiwi juice.

Talk about a bad day.

It's a text message from Han-gyeol.

I'm going to rest. Please take care of the shop.

Is he sick?

-Here's your coffee. -Okay.

Give me a cup of espresso.

Okay.

How long will you keep it a secret that you're a woman from Han-gyeol?

If I tell him, everything is going to be over.

He said it was a relief that I'm a guy.

Jeez. You've got to be kidding me!

Here.

Boss! Han-gyeol!

Can't you just come to work?

What is that?

How can a manager be absent for several days in a row?

RECEIVED TEXT MESSAGES WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS, BOSS?

HAN-GYEOL! DILIGENT KID

BOSS! DILIGENT KID

Boss!

Boss!

Boss!

Why are you acting like this?

Boss!

Boss!

Don't do this.

Boss!

Boss!

Boss!

I miss you.

Where are you?

Please call me.

I love you.

BOSS

You jerk!

Why aren't you calling me?

You are making me worry.

I got into a screaming match with my boss today.

Just tell him the truth.

Your boss is in love with you too, isn't he?

I'm going to New York with DK.

Can you give me a little time?

I just like staying by your side and watching you laugh and cry.

It will be three months soon. I have to do it until the end.

I want to show my grandma that I can do a good job.
