PLAYFUL KISS

EPISODE 10

I'll call you, Mom.

You take care of yourself now...

Don't skip a meal.

Have lots of fruits and vegetables.

Don't go around at night.

-And... -Okay, I get it.

If you need anything, call me.

I don't need anything.

And you make sure you come home once in a while, okay?

-Eunjo, take care. -My big brother.

He's gone.

He's gone just like that.

I...

I just started to get used to living with Seungjo in the same house.

Although he treats me coldly and meanly,

I just love being with him.

Don't cry, Hani.

Let's just wait for him.

He's not gone too far,

and he'll come back soon, okay?

Now, I can only see him at school.

He'll...

He'll forget about me for sure.

We need two more king-size pork cutlets.

So she's back to her old self then.

It's just like the days in high school.

Hi, Hani.

-You seem to be in a good mood. -Of course.

I'm good. Now I can work without worries. My mind is at ease. I can hum now.

It is like I beat Seungjo Baek in a duel or something.

That dude is going down man, my passionate heart won.

One king-size pork cutlet please.

Yes. Enjoy your meals.

Are you okay, Hani?

-I'm sorry. -For what?

What's wrong with her?

She's so weird.

That's because Seungjo moved out.

She's traumatized by that.

Never mind her, let's practice.

Seungjo doesn't even come to tennis practice.

I knew it but I was hoping, just by any chance...

Hey. Hani Oh.

Can't you even pick up the balls right?

-Sorry... -Oh, man. She's like... Nowadays.

Hey, Hani.

Why don't you treat me for dinner?

-No... -Really?

That's too bad.

I thought I could tell you the newest information on Seungjo Baek.

If you don't want it, then fine. Hey, let's practice.

I'll treat you, Kyungsu. I'll treat you.

I'm buying. I'm buying.

-I know a really good place. -What?

Don't worry about it. It's not like those fancy restaurants.

But what is the information?

Information...

Well, as you know, Seungjo and I talk about everything.

So, if I tell you,

then the information is just for you and me, like classified intel.

I'll take you there after the practice, where Seungjo's working part time.

Really?

Is this place where Seungjo works?

Yeah, he's a waiter here. I got him this job though.

I work here on Saturdays and Sundays, weekend part-timer, let's go in.

Prince Charming Seungjo, working at a family restaurant.

I can't imagine it.

This is added to the menu. It wasn't in it last week.

-Hey, Hani. Hani. -Yes?

Stop looking around and order.

Ginseng dates salad sounds good...

But then this picture of garlic steak pie looks good too...

Have you decided on the menu?

Why don't you just pick one?

Okay, I'll have...

Fifteen minutes to think on the menu is more than enough.

-Seungjo Baek. -Do you want a salmon soy sauce set menu?

A ginseng dates salad? Or a garlic baked chicken?

-I'm... -I'll have the salmon soy sauce.

Ginseng dates salad,

and black tea too.

And dressing on your salad?

The pine nut...

What kind of black tea would you like, peach or lemon?

Lemon...

Do you want your tea after the meal?

Yes.

Wait for a few minutes.

So, Hani. How is it to listen to me...

What the... Are you crying? Don't be such a baby.

It's been too long until now, I got to talk to Seungjo.

You think that was a talk? What I heard was a plain order.

Excuse me.

-Can you refill this coke please? -Yes, of course.

-Do you want more drink too? -Yes.

He looks great even in his uniform.

Thank you for waiting.

Here is your grilled salmon in soy sauce and wheat tortilla...

Lemon chicken and ginseng dates salad.

It looks really good.

Enjoy your meals.

Hey, Seungjo.

Hi.

Where do you live?

I'm working now, sorry?

Are you mad because I came?

I knew you'd come soon or later.

But don't ever tell my family.

I won't.

HELP WANTED: A PLACE FOR PART TIME

That's it.

What?

Over there.

If I get to work here,

I can see Seungjo very easily.

I don't think that'll be so convenient...

Wait a second.

-The part time job? -Yes.

I'll work really hard.

Well, I'm sorry but the position is full.

We hired someone just about now,

so there's no more positions.

What.

I'm sorry but you can apply some other time.

You.

-Why are you here? -I'm working here now.

You missed it by a second.

Can you give me another job here?

I'm sorry but we've filled every position.

Then, you can start now, good luck.

I guess I just turned the table on you.

Huh... What?

Since Seungjo's out of the house,

the only place you can see him is the tennis club.

But he hardly comes.

I'm in the same classes with him and work at the same place.

I keep getting this feeling like taking a candy from a baby.

Anyway, I have to go to work now, so long.

Wow... I'm so full.

Hani, I haven't had such a good meal for a long time.

Right, so did you get the job?

Okay, then. So it's all settled now, right?

So you really should thank me.

-It's all thanks to me- -Let's go now.

Excuse me? Are you leaving?

There's the black tea coming soon, it's in your set-menu.

I see.

Can you hold that for tomorrow?

What?

The tea.

Can I come tomorrow and finish it?

I don't think that's possible.

And plus,

I will not appreciate you coming here again tomorrow.

I'm not gonna bother you.

And no matter what, I'm a customer here.

You. Please, don't tell anyone in my family about this.

Does that mean I can come again?

-Busy? -I guess it's packed here. Kind of hectic.

So how is it to live by yourself?

Hera's gonna be here everyday. I can't just leave them together.

I must come tomorrow and the day after and after.

Hani. What's taking you so long? Let's go.

I'm happy anyway because I got to see Seungjo.

I'm home.

Hi, Hani.

Hey, you didn't have dinner yet, right? Come sit down.

I had dinner out.

Well, Hani,

I haven't seen you smile like that for quite a while.

What's the good news?

Huh?

No... Not really...

I was really worried about you since you've been so down

after Seungjo moved out.

You know, mom...

Seungjo is...

You. Please, don't tell anyone in my family about this.

What? Seungjo is working part time at a family restaurant?

It's supposed to be a secret between him and me.

I had dinner there.

Oh, my gosh, it would've been fun.

I wanna see that too, right Eunjo?

Your brother's a waiter.

Yeah, I wanna see him there too.

Okay, then, let's have dinner there tomorrow night, three of us.

But,

he told me not to tell you.

Hey... Don't be shy.

You don't worry about a thing.

We're going there in disguise and looking him over just a little, okay?

Okay.

Seungjo,

what are you doing now?

Are you preparing your own dinner?

Or reading a book?

What kind of place are you living in?

A mushroom rice in lotus leaf, a ginseng dates salad and a cup of omija tea for me.

I'll have an ear shell salad and grilled deodeok.

Give me the blueberry sherbet after the meal please.

I'll have joraengyi tteokbokki with vegetables on top.

And grilled salmon in soy sauce, don't put pepper on it.

Ginseng tteokgalbi and lemon chicken, six pieces, no make that eight pieces,

I'll have boneless chicken instead...

If you all say it like that, he can't tell what's what.

Let's list it. What do you want again?

I'll check the order for you.

A mushroom rice wrapped in lotus leaf, a ginseng dates salad, omija tea,

grilled deodeok, joraengyi tteokbokki with vegetables on top,

grilled salmon in soy sauce with no pepper,

boneless chicken, steamed king shrimp and orange sherbet.

Excuse me. You've missed mine?

Your blueberry sherbet will be coming up right after the meal, thank you.

He didn't even look at the order.

Well, he didn't even write those down, he just remembered them all.

Way to go, brother.

How awesome, a super genius.

But he's too stiff, not cute at all.

My Seungjo is really cute when he smiles.

Don't you think he'll notice us?

Hey, Hani,

there's no way he can tell us in this perfect disguise.

Excuse me, here.

Would you like to order?

Should I have the steamed lotus leaf set?

I want chicken, half lemon and half spicy sauce.

I'd like to have something new.

Hurry up.

What's today's special?

Fried yam salad.

That I had yester...

Stupid, he'll be able to tell...

Do you call that a disguise?

I'm sorry.

Wow, it's Seungjo's mom and Eunjo. Hello.

Oh, no. What are you doing here?

I work here with Seungjo, a part-timer too.

What?

Hani. How could you let this happen?

I'm sorry,

she beat me, I tried though...

Son, you come home once in while at least.

And don't ever, ever fall for that Hera girl, be careful of her.

Okay, I get it.

Seungjo, can't you tell us where you live,

please?

Let me go work now.

You get it, Hani?

You can never lose from Hera.

No matter what he says, don't ever care about it.

You have to see Seungjo everyday.

You have to be stuck on him like a piece of gum on hair.

-You come here every day. Got that. -Yes.

How is that not different from being a stalker?

I feel sorry for my big brother. Poor Seungjo...

What?

Really?

So, now Hera's hitting on Seungjo right beside him.

Yeah.

Oh, she's a pretty tough opponent too.

Now, you can't help but go there and see him everyday.

He would hate that though, wouldn't he?

What in the world is this girl talking about?

You never care if he likes you or hates you, but You just keep on going.

You are Hani Oh.

You're like a cicada

stuck on one old tree, buzzing all summer long.

Yeah, that's me.

I'm a cicada on the tree...

But,

the problem is whether you have

that much money to go there every day and whether you have enough time

to be there all day long.

Are you leasing this place?

So you're studying today?

I've got an assignment that's due next week.

-I'll take this table. -Okay, thanks.

Did you have to come here on purpose?

You seemed like you were going to devour my friend there.

So, what would you like to have?

Anything.

Okay, then, I'll prepare a nice one for you.

Thank you for waiting, here's your meal.

Oh, my gosh.

Do you mind clearing the table please?

What's all this?

This is the super special set menu, the most popular one here.

This is so big.

Is this a duck?

No, it's not a duck, it's a chicken.

You told me anything, so...

Enjoy your meal, call me if you need anything, thank you.

Excuse me,

it's your fifth cup of coffee, you still want it?

You've been drinking five or six cups of strong coffee straight everyday.

Your stomach's not gonna hold up.

Huh, well, thanks a lot for worrying.

But I'm fine, I'm nothing but tough.

A girl who has nothing else to do but waits for a guy like you are now,

no man in the world would be interested in her.

If I were Seungjo, I would've gotten so sick of you.

Well, do as you please then.

Pish, like that'll ever make me leave, you wish.

Excuse me,

excuse me.

We're closing soon.

Your total is 123,000 Won, please.

What? How much again? That's too much.

One super special set and 7 coffees.

How much is that super thingy?

That's 58,000 Won.

Wait.

Just a sec...

Here.

Okay, thank you.

Excuse me. You know what time Seungjo Baek gets off?

Come on, you can tell me, right? Why not?

Well, I think he might get off at 9:00 p.m.

Really? Thank you.

At 9:00. It's 8:30 now.

So I can wait a little, great.

Finally I get to see where Seungjo lives,

and of course, secretly.

Did you have to wait?

-No, I just got out too. -Really? That's good.

I'm so tired,

let's hurry.

They are just heading in the same direction, that's all.

It can't be otherwise.

What is it?

Why Seungjo and her...

Hani? Why are you home so late?

I was worried sick. It's past midnight.

I'm so sorry.

Did you have a club meeting?

Has something happened?

No, I'm okay.

What about a bath?

Do you want me to fill up the tub for you?

I'll just go to bed now.

Good night.

Okay then, good night.

He was right in the room next to mine,

but he's living with Hera now.

What did he mean when he said I was not so bad?

Did he mean I'm just a not-so-bad-type of girl,

but Hera is a like-type of girl?

The two are now having...

I'm off to school now.

Oh, my dear, Hani.

You've got long dark bags under your eyes

and your eyes are all red,

and you've got skinnier too.

Well, I think that's because I couldn't sleep much.

Oh no, you're studying too hard, aren't you?

Like that's ever gonna happen.

Are you really okay? Why don't you stay home for today though?

I'm fine...

If you feel any worse, call Seungjo to take you back home, okay?

If you show that ghost-like face to my brother,

he's gonna freak out on you.

Is that so?

I'll be careful not to see him.

I'm leaving now.

Hani? What about breakfast?

I don't want to eat though.

Then...

There must be something going on with Hani.

And I think it's kind of something big too.

What the...

Are you on a diet or what?

Why aren't you eating nowadays?

I just don't want to, that's all.

What is it? It's about Seungjo, right?

You can tell us, come on.

I...

I'll just forget about it now.

We've heard you say that hundreds of times, right?

Right, I don't buy that either...

But this time it's real...

What? They're living together?

Hera Yoon and Seungjo Baek?

Are you sure you saw it right?

But still, if they went in together

and didn't come out for over an hour,

that means that...

Since it's all coming together,

I realized

how much I have really loved Seungjo.

Well, a crush truly crushes your heart.

Poor Hani. You poor thing.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Back to position.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Back to position, one, two, three.

Hey, Hani Oh. Focus.

Yes...

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Oh, really? Oh, my gosh, so what happened?

So, what happened was...

Hey. You there. Seungjo Baek.

-Who? -Who... Who?

You've seen us for such long time and you don't know who we are?

We're Hani's friends.

You're said to have an IQ of 200, but you don't remember us?

Although we weren't in the same class, we went to the same high school.

I erase all useless data from my memory.

I remember now.

You two have the same brain capacities as Hani's,

Juri Jeong and Mina Dokgo, right?

So what's the business?

What a snotty little... What does Hani see in this jerk.

Okay, do you have something to say to me?

Hey. You. Don't you think you went too far this time?

What about Hani? Do you even know how she's doing?

She's been like a living-dead for over 10 days now.

As her friend, I can't leave her like that anymore.

So what...

What do you want from me?

Your roommate.

Roommate?

What. Let's hear your excuses now then, huh?

You and Hera Yoon are living together, right?

Hani followed you and saw you two enter the same house with her own eyes.

That poor little girl was waiting outside for one and a half hours.

You already know how Hani feels about you, but how did you do that?

Then, you should've cleared it with Hani before. You are a coward.

If you are a man, tell her exactly how the relationship goes, face to face.

Okay. If I tell her face to face, you'll be satisfied?

Well, if you're too direct, that'll make Hani...

She's really fragile. She'll be hurt.

What we mean is don't hurt our Hani.

We are not telling you to break up with Hera,

you understand, right?

Just tell Hani that it's not gonna happen between you two.

You know it well, she's had a big crush on you for four years now.

That's all we wanted to tell you.

Then, we'll go now.

Let's go.

You must be hungry.

This is ear shells,

it is deodeok, and it is a smoked duck.

Come on, Hani, dig in. It's our treat for you, Jungu and us.

You really need to eat something good.

And start off in search of a new love.

That's right, Hani.

And that's not all that matters, you see?

He's not the only guy in the world.

Look around, there are so many nice guys out there.

Yeah, you're right.

But I can't eat anything.

You guys go ahead.

Hani, if I see you like that suffering so much,

I feel like I'm dying too, you know?

So, please eat something.

It's been two weeks already since I saw Seungjo for the last time.

Right, if I don't try to see Seungjo,

we never get to see each other.

What are you doing here?

Are you waiting for someone?

It's been quite a while.

I don't see you lately.

Yeah.

Then I'll leave you alone.

Why are you being so cold?

Can't you stay with me while I'm waiting for someone?

Well, okay.

How is your new place?

It's nice, roomy too.

Really?

How about food, how is it?

Well,

I get to eat some from where I work.

Sometimes somebody prepares for me too.

Prepares for you?

You're all by yourself all of a sudden.

Don't you feel lonely at all?

Not really

because I'm with Hera Yun most of the time.

I see.

Hi. Mr. Baek.

I'm here.

You're right on time.

Since I'm actually here on the campus where I want to be,

I really get motivated to study harder.

Wow, is she...

Are you by any chance, Hani Oh?

Do you know me?

You look exactly like Miss Yoon described.

I can tell even from a distance.

I've heard a lot about you.

What... What?

What are you talking about?

I heard that you were the bottom of your class

but after Mr. Baek tutored you,

you ranked in the top 50,

and that the record is like a legend of the school.

I guess...

Miss Yoon.

-When did you get here? -I just got here now.

I learn English from Miss Yoon,

and Mr. Baek tutors me in math.

I'll be applying for this school at the end of this year.

So, they tutor? You mean...

They come to our house three times a week.

My mom loves them so much

that she cooks for them too.

But Miss Yoon and Hani, you don't look like friends though?

Then...

The place you went with Hera...

It's not like you two are living together.

-Right? -Living together?

That was all your own imagination.

Tutoring is a good way of making a living plus I get to eat there too.

-Let's go now. -Then, see you.

Oh, my goodness. You're making chocolate?

When a girl makes chocolate by herself, it's for her lover...

And you... Am I right?

It's so sweet,

you know, how I've been waiting for this moment?

It's kind of too late, isn't it?

Now you're back to your old self, I'm so glad, you know?

I've been really worried since you were feeing so down and weak.

I wish you good luck this time, okay?

Yes.

-Go for it. -I can do it.

Why does it taste so... Not good?

Well, who cares about the taste, doesn't matter.

What's the matter with me?

Because I've been starving too much?

Did you make it yourself?

Looks pretty. I bet it tastes good too.

Let me put this on you?

Seungjo...

AN OWNER-DRIVEN CAB

Why is it raining now? Why today...

I don't even have an umbrella with me.

Excuse me, what is the matter?

I'm sorry but the car broke down, I think.

What?

Oh, my gosh. It's Hani.

Hi, Seungjo,

I'm here.

It's pouring out here...

You're so stubborn, amazing.

Seungjo won't have time to see you even if you wait until he's off.

You just picked the perfect day, because we're going to tutor Jihyun.

And, of course you want coffee, right? Extra too?

How do I give this to him. I can't give it to him here.

There's Hera and all...

What's wrong with your face?

-What about my face? -You look terrible.

-You go home early today. -I'm fine.

Hani. Hani Oh. Hey.

Wake up, Hani. Hey.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry for the trouble.

Are you gonna be okay, should I call 911?

Seungjo here did the first-aid but...

I'm fine. I'm okay now, really.

Seungjo, you know her?

Yes.

Really? Then you can take the rest of the shift off,

and take this lady home.

No, don't mind me. I'm really okay.

No, you can't go home alone in such a condition in this weather.

-Seungjo, you do as I say, okay? -Okay, I will.

I guess, I'll have to leave the tutoring up to you.

Okay, what can I do...

I can see what you go through all the time because of this troublemaker.

Hani Oh,

you really are something. Anyway, take care.

There's no cab.

I don't think we'll ever get a cab out here.

Seungjo, you're getting wet. Come inside.

You'd better not cry after you get soaking wet, you get in.

Hey,

I'll just walk to the station, you just go home.

It takes half an hour to the station.

And the subway might have stopped running

due to this kind of rain like before.

It's a 10-minute distance, to my place.

Wanna come?

I can call my mom

to pick you up from my place.

Wow, bigger than I thought.

There's the integrated kitchen, is it all furnished?

And this is...

The bathroom.

Has Hera come here before?

Here...

You are the first intruder.

How is your heartburn?

I'm all okay now.

You've been drinking too much coffee lately on an empty stomach.

You were bound to have such heartburn.

I'm okay now though...

Here, use the towel.

Seungjo's scent.

It's a brand new one, what scent?

Hello, it's me Seungjo.

I'm at my place. What?

Oh, yes I met her.

She came where I work.

She fell down with heartburn, she's been gulping up all that coffee...

No, not at all,

She seems fine now.

So, I have until mom comes to pick me up

to be alone with Seungjo.

Until then, I'll photograph this place in my head.

She's here with me at my place.

Really really, really?

We couldn't get a cab because of the rain.

I'll give the direction so can you come and pick her up?

What?

What?

Are you kidding me?

Mom. Mother. Hello.

What the... She just hung up on me.

What's wrong?

What did she say?

She said, she doesn't want to come because it's raining so hard.

Huh?

She said, I should let you rest here tonight

and she'll come to pick you up tomorrow.

He's in the shower

and just the two of us are spending a night together.

It's just like a romantic novel.

What do I do?

It was something like this that happened before at his house.

But it's totally different this time.

Here, there's only one room.

And there's only one bed.

-Hey. -Yes, sir?

-Do you wanna take a shower? -Shower?

Then... I'll take... Shower.

Are you nervous or something?

Nervous?

Never.

Put this on,

I only have mine, if you don't like it, forget it.

Thanks.

I love this heart-fluttering feeling now.

I'm inside the space where Seungjo has been until now.

Would he be waiting for me outside?

Tonight seems like the night

everyone experiences once in her life time.

-Hey, Jungu, get the phone. -Yes, I got it.

Yes. This is Sopalbok noodle shop.

Hello, I'm calling from Seungjo's house,

can I talk to Hani's dad please?

Excuse me, is this Seungjo's mother?

Oh, yes, but who is this?

-Is this Jungu? -Yes, this is Jungu.

Why? My chef is really busy right now.

Okay then, you listen carefully,

and repeat that to Hani's father exactly, okay?

Okay, I got that, you go ahead and tell me.

Tonight, Hani's spending the night outside but there's nothing to worry about it.

-Hani's staying at Seungjo' studio. -What?

I think it's better for her to stay there

rather than to come back home in this such harsh weather.

What are you saying? Hey, lady. Is that true?

Hani's spending the night at Seungjo's place?

Where is Seungjo's house?

Well, well, well, I don't know.

Even if I did, I wouldn't have told you.

What?

Okay then, I'll hang up now, bye.

Hello. Mrs. Baek. Don't hang up.

What's going on?

Chef. Do you know where Seungjo lives?

Hey, how do I know where he lives?

Well all I know is he has a part-time job at a family restaurant.

What is that place called?

I heard they have cheese... Or chicken... Or kitchen, it's called?

Is it a chicken or cheese, kitchen?

I'll just go now.

-You Seungjo Baek. -Hey, you there, Jungu.

I finished. Thanks.

Sure.

Then now what?

What am I supposed to do?

Who is it?

Hello?

Excuse me?

Let me ask you something.

Does Seungjo work here?

Seungjo Baek?

I got it finally.

I got it...

Hey,

excuse me, hello. Hey, mister. Are you okay?

I'm gonna go to bed now.

Okay, it's after 12:00, then...

I'll sleep on the floor there.

You tuck yourself in bed.

Of course.

Huh? What's...

There's only one blanket.

If you feel cold, take my coat from the closet and cover yourself up.

Hey. Isn't a man supposed to say,

"No, you go ahead sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."

I'm a girl too you know?

I don't wanna say things like that to you at all.

I'm a patient too.

You're not a human, you cold-hearted bully.

What?

You know...

You know...

What.

I really hate it dark,

can we leave the light on?

I can't sleep with the lights on.

A ghost seems to come out in the dark.

Stupid...

You know...

What now?

Aren't you cold down there?

Of course it's cold. My back's frozen.

I'll just sleep on the floor then.

Never mind, just sleep.

But still...

It's cold.

Okay.

I'll come up here and sleep you happy?

Wait...

-I'll go down. -Forget it.

This is how I'll shut you up, isn't it?

Go to sleep.

Why are you so nervous?

No, I'm not nervous.

Not really.

Then what's that gulping sound?

Huh?

Who knows what will happen

if you and I spend the night together like this?

Like kissing...

Or...

Anything can happen, don't you think?

If you were expecting something,

I'm sorry, but nothing will happen.

Good night.

Okay, good... Good night.

Oh, well... Something seems missing,

but I'm relieved though.

But still, how can he not do anything with a girl in the same bed.

Seungjo, is he maybe sexually dysfunctional?

No way, but then is it just that I'm not attractive as a woman?

That's it...

It's obvious. It's me...

Are you blaming yourself?

Blaming. Why am I blaming myself, no.

It's just that I don't' want it to be all my mom's way.

If something happens tonight,

that just falls into my mother's plan.

And she'll control everything forever.

That's about it.

So, you'd better

not expect anything and go to sleep.

Right. He said I'm not so bad after all.

Somehow, I can feel his warmth now. It's a happy feeling.

I'm lying on the same bed with Seungjo right beside me.

This moment is too precious to fall asleep.

PLAYFUL KISS

Seungjo Baek.

Interesting.

Keep going. Come on, one more game.
