Original subtitles

I hope the girl my son is seeing

is as right-minded as you are.

So you haven't changed your mind?

No.

You're settling for the divorce of the century,

and all you're demanding is a failing hotel business.

I should be happy, but why do I feel like you're being cheeky?

It seems like a proclamation that you'll never see us again.

"I shall be present for whatever family events

that require my presence."

With that clause in print,

what power would that proclamation have?

It's a misunderstanding.

If it is, all right then.

I'm sure you went over the papers.

Any questions?

I want to know what you mean by the "mishap"

that is mentioned in article three, clause four.

It's as it is.

You are to maintain your elegance and dignity

even after the divorce.

Don't cause any mishaps which will taint our reputation.

Do you understand me?

CHA SOO-HYUN

Let's forget the greetings.

I'm not in the mood for hellos.

The same tea as always?

I'll have some cold water today.

There's a raging fire inside.

Article three, clause four.

I'm talking about that clause you even reconfirmed with me.

Are you referring to the "mishap"?

Yes, that "mishap," exactly.

Just what kind of nonsense…

You were once part of our family,

yet that scandal in the tabloids,

and with a man who is much younger.

I'm trying my best to filter my words, but they still come out rough.

Do you realize

what you've done?

This is not a "mishap."

All I did was have lunch with someone I'm indebted to.

I never did anything shameless.

You're Cha Soo-hyun,

the daughter-in-law of Taegyeong.

How is this gossip

not shameless?

I'm no longer part of the Taegyeong family.

There's no reason for you to do this.

I was wondering why you were being so reckless,

and I see you have the wrong idea.

Divorce?

Don't think that your divorce

has also settled things between our families.

I'm sure you know better

on how your father got to where he is today.

You are part of Taegyeong group, even in death.

Once you enter this household,

you are a part of this household even in death. Remember that.

And don’t be cheeky.

Did you hire him for his good looks?

That was too harsh.

I gave you a hotel so you may uphold your dignity…

Let's stop here. Otherwise, it'll really get ugly.

Send him out.

Ms. Kim.

Article three, clause four. "In the occasion of a mishap,

Cha Soo-hyun will surrender all her rights."

Do your calculations and think about

what's included in those rights.

Why did you want to see me?

It's you, isn't it?

I'm talking about that photo. Ms. Cha's scandal.

You're the man in the photo, aren't you?

There's no fooling you.

It's what you always wear.

I'm really curious.

What's your relationship

with Ms. Cha?

She's just someone I met in Cuba.

-You met her there? -I helped her out a bit.

She had nothing on her after the pickpockets took everything.

I didn't know I'd be working at Donghwa Hotel back then.

That's all.

Still, I don't understand.

That doesn't mean you're close enough to eat ramyeon

together at a rest stop.

It's a long story.

But things just happened naturally.

It's not as they say in the tabloids.

But why do you look so worried?

Because I am.

About who?

You?

No.

Ms. Cha.

I hope she's okay.

Hey!

She's been living life in the public eye since she was young.

It won't bother her.

She's probably fine.

You just worry about yourself.

You'll have a bigger headache if they know it's you.

I guess...

this is why friends are the best.

Your call cannot be connected…

She dares avoid me after creating this mess?

That wench!

Director, it's me.

I enjoyed reading your article.

This is why journalists should do the writing.

It's more interesting than the story I had in mind.

Thanks to you, I did my homework.

Taegyeong Electronics will continue

its partnership with Jaemin Daily next year.

Please. We're simply helping each other out here.

We'll talk again.

Welcome.

How is the atmosphere at Donghwa Hotel?

Ms. Cha has yet to make a statement,

but the employees have dismissed it as gossip.

Maybe it's because Ms. Cha has been close with her employees.

But overall, it's been unaffected.

And after how she won the bid for the Cuba project,

a single tabloid article

won't jeopardize her position in the company.

Will she step down easily?

We'll have to make her, step by step.

She's a smart girl,

so she won't be stubborn.

Besides, that girl needs a break too.

She needs to come back and support our Woo-seok.

The more time she spends outside, the harder she'll be to tame.

It won't be long, Director Choi.

I've always thought

you are best suited for managing Donghwa Hotel.

I'm honored.

PRESIDENT CHA SOO-HYUN'S SECRET DATE AT A REST STOP

Everyone's too cruel.

Is Ms. Cha inside?

She's not here today, Mrs. Cha.

I know she's inside.

-Step aside. -Mrs. Cha.

Mrs. Cha, but you can't just interrupt her like this.

You think you can avoid me by ignoring my calls and visits?

You can't pull the wool over my eyes.

Can't you just leave me alone, then?

Did you really have to come here?

How do you expect me to ignore this?

I have a headache from repeating myself over and over again.

-He's just someone I-- -It's all been taken care of.

Will it be all right?

No need to ask for her opinion.

She's the one who created this mess,

so she should be grateful you're cleaning it up for her.

"Kim Jin-hyuk is her stalker."

That's how we'll settle it, then.

Are you a monster?

Why turn a kind, hard-working man into a stalker?

-Are you a monster, Mom? -You're the monster, not me.

If you run your company quietly,

they'll take you back, you know.

-There's no need for this. -Take me back? Who?

Why do you have to--

Can't you just live quietly?

We're trying to get you two back together.

So, what's this now?

What's that supposed to mean?

I've talked to your mother-in-law,

so when you see your husband,

tell him it's nothing serious and apologize.

Even if he is of good character,

I'm sure he's offended.

You understood me, right?

I'm off.

I've done it once, so no more.

Mom, I'm not going to let you...

sell me off again.

Once is enough.

What about your father?

Won't you feel sorry for him if his political career ends

at just leading his party?

Your father's dream is to enter the Blue House.

You mean your dream.

Besides, the Blue House isn't

a place you can enter just because you want to.

You can only enter by having its doors opened for you.

I'll open that door for him.

So you just stay put and get ready for the reunion.

Without Taegyeong, we can't make it

to the Blue House.

Yes, Mr. Park. I'm almost there.

Yes, I checked the changes.

Yes.

Yes, I'll update you as soon as I'm there.

Okay.

The president's office is on the 11th floor.

One, two, three, four…

No, let's try again.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine…

Eleven.

Ms. Cha, don't read the comments on the news.

Cheer up, Ms. Cha!

How is the aroma?

Good.

Sorry I came when you're busy.

Don't be.

I'll leave you two to talk.

I'll be driving.

What about Mr. Nam?

He's been off work late these past few days.

Too bad I can't even enjoy a drink with you.

Why did you want to see me?

I found it amusing.

You were better than most celebrities.

Your name was hot online for two days straight.

Thanks.

First, I want to talk to you about your mother.

She's trying to fire an employee who worked really hard to get a job.

Like he did something wrong.

But that's not all.

I think she's planning to turn him into my stalker.

Please stop her.

You're scared, aren't you?

It's been a long time since I've seen you scared.

And the second?

Why aren't you getting remarried?

I feel like you're taking this out on me.

You couldn't break up with her

and told me you'll marry her.

So I set you free,

but why are you still single?

Does it bother you...

that I'm still single?

No, it doesn't interest me at all

whether you're single or not. I just…

I just don't want to hear that nonsense

about us getting back together.

You're angry now, aren't you?

Don't talk like you know everything about me.

-How much do you know me anyway? -Not much.

I never knew you had a side like that.

Who would've imagined a date at a rest stop?

Let's choose our words carefully.

Okay.

As for your first request, I'll try.

That poor guy did nothing wrong.

He probably worked hard to enter Donghwa Hotel.

However, on one condition.

There's really nothing between you two, right?

And as for your second request, it's none of my concern.

-But this is about you too. -Soo-hyun.

When have we ever lived our lives…

thinking they were our own?

Then at least tell her your honest feelings

when she brings up the subject.

I mean, this is just utter nonsense.

I'll trust you.

When will I be

something other than nonsense to you?

If I tell her my honest feelings...

it'll only make it harder for you.

You'll die early if you eat like that at your age.

This is just a snack.

About Ms. Cha…

What on earth is going on?

I don't know either, not just yet.

But Assemblyman Cha must be so worried.

And he's just as bad,

using his daughter for politics.

How can you say that?

Oh, I don't know.

I prefer how he was before he became an assemblyman.

When you, my brother,

and Assemblyman Cha were all reporters.

You were like the Avengers back then.

You're really eating that amid the ramyeon scandal?

I'm seeing how delicious it is for her to have gone all the way there.

Why the deep sigh?

-I've done it. -Done what?

I hired a private detective.

Why a private detective?

It's about my husband.

I think he's cheating.

Don't talk such nonsense!

He has a daughter who's in middle school!

How does that have anything to do with cheating?

Like you know anything.

Are you sure?

Why else would I hire a private detective?

-When will you know? -I don't know.

They need to catch him in the act.

That darn bastard.

-Just eat. It'll go soggy. -I'm not eating it!

Why are you getting upset over someone else's business?

You're not just anyone!

-Here she comes! -Over there!

Is it delicious? We had just enough soup this morning.

Hey, it's beef soup.

Eat up, okay?

You'll fall ill if you skip breakfast.

Thank you.

-Finish everything, okay? -Okay.

Hey, beef soup!

You made beef soup for me, did you?

-Mom! -What are you doing here?

What?

Oh, come on, guys.

I finally finished my military service.

Oh, so it's today!

-Yesterday. -Then why are you back now?

I celebrated with my comrades all night.

Mom, can I have some soup?

You just came home like you came back from the supermarket.

I wanted to keep it quiet

in case Mom cooked up a feast, but this is too much!

Oh, dear.

-We have no more soup. -What?

You should've told me that you were coming back today.

You even made rice cakes for him,

but I don't even get soup?

-We don't even have any rice left. -Rice…

You still have ramyeon, right?

By the way, did you get a job?

He entered a really good company.

Hey, eldest son in the family!

Can I have some money?

-I have no money. -But you got a nice job!

-I haven't received my pay yet. -Don't ask him for money.

Eat your ramyeon and get ready for work.

You know the minimum wage has increased, right?

I worked for free, you know.

If I have a second child, I'm going to love him dearly!

I hope you have a son who's just like you.

Jin-hyuk never caused any trouble.

But with you, I always had to talk to your teachers.

But you've matured, right?

Mom, it's not that I was causing trouble.

It's that I was showing justice.

-Are you serious? -My gosh.

By the way, tell me.

Where's the ramyeon?

I don't think we have any.

How could you not have any ramyeon?

Well, I mean…

Tell us beforehand

the next time you finish your military service.

-Mom, that's absurd. -You want me to do this again?

I guess that was mean. Right, honey?

-Eat up. -Congratulations.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations.

-Thanks. -You did well.

About Master Jang's masterpiece we wanted in our Sokcho hotel lobby…

It's arriving tomorrow, right?

She suddenly called

and told us she can't give it to us.

Have you tried talking to her again?

I tried calling her, but her phone's switched off.

And we've already received reservations for our art tour

in Seoul, Cheongju, Busan, and Sokcho.

Should we say Sokcho will be excluded?

We're due to open in two weeks.

No, we need to bring

Master Jang's work no matter what.

We worked on this for two years.

It's no use, I think.

It's obvious Ms. Kim has something to do with this.

Why must she get in the way of her ex-daughter-in-law?

She's taking it out on you about that scandal, right?

This isn't the first time.

I think I should go see Master Jang at her Sokcho atelier.

Now?

Calling her won't solve this.

-Wait. I'll have Mr. Nam get the car. -No.

I'll take my car.

My head's too full,

so it's better that I take the wheel.

Stop caring.

Ms. Cha really is a strong woman.

She's totally unaffected.

Come on.

Well done. Bring me three copies of this and this.

Sure. Thank you.

Hey, why isn't this ready?

Excuse me.

You know me, right?

Yes, I've seen you drive Ms. Cha's car.

Everyone calls me Mr. Nam.

Oh, I see.

Then I'll call you Mr. Nam from now on.

Have you had lunch?

This place isn't bad, huh?

It's their prices I'm happier about.

I heard all the restaurants here were expensive,

so I was going to use the cafeteria.

Our cafeteria isn't bad either.

Ms. Cha hates the staff being stingy

about what they feed the employees.

She's truly awesome.

-Eat up. -Okay.

Thank you for the food.

Here. This is for you.

This will lighten your steps.

I'm fine. Isn't it yours?

This is for the guests. I have my own.

Thank you.

On a trip?

Yes, she always goes on trips spontaneously.

When will she be back?

I'm not so sure.

But I think after the weekend.

She says she's on a trip, but I don't think it's true.

I think I'll have to stay here a bit longer.

She won't come in on the weekend,

but I'll just have to drop in whenever I can.

But you took nothing with you. You're really going to stay the weekend?

It's okay. I'll just buy something here. Don't worry.

I'm right by the sea, so I'll just take a break.

Can you call the Sokcho hotel and get a room for me?

We need to talk.

Did you see Soo-hyun?

Yes, I did.

Why don't you just quietly let it pass?

It's cute when she acts out of line.

It's not cute, it's vulgar.

How dare she? I thought I made myself clear.

But she went to see you?

You shouldn't do anything to that employee.

People will talk if he's fired when he just started working.

Framing him as a stalker is too much.

I was never going to bargain with a man like him

who isn't even worth anything.

It's fine as long as it breaks Soo-hyun's spirits,

who's always so high and mighty.

You're always so busy, aren't you?

Why waste your time on such matters?

You know why. Get back with her.

-Mother. -I talked with Soo-hyun's mother.

Let's get started on it.

I'm not doing it.

Do you think I don't know why you won't remarry?

You're waiting for Soo-hyun.

So why did you have to free her?

She's not an object.

Did she refuse to get back together?

What's the point of forcing her to come back?

We won't force her.

We can't have her back unhappy now.

We'll make her return on her own.

She must think she's something after reviving a dead hotel.

We need to break her wings so she'll focus on supporting you.

Once the hotel's gone,

she'll come back to her senses

and come back to us.

Don't do anything…

to Donghwa hotel.

It sounds like a warning to keep my hands off Soo-hyun.

I hope I'll never have to quarrel with you.

Please excuse me.

It's too quiet because we're yet to open. Is that okay?

We only have two employees overnight.

I'll call in a few more employees.

No, I like that it's quiet.

Just have the room ready for me.

The hottest talk right now is

President Cha Soo-hyun's scandal.

It's decorated the top page

of every portal website.

Yes, I must say she's almost a top celebrity.

But then again, she's always lived a celebrity's life.

Though she's a divorcee,

there's continued interest in her affairs.

Cha Soo-hyun is truly admired by many--

He expressed his regrets that due to the lack of quorum,

the assembly failed to open…

Dad, it's me.

I wondered whether I should call or not,

but I just waited for you to call me instead.

I'm sorry.

Sorry about what?

It was me who put you in the public eye.

I should be sorry.

Your office must be having a hard time too.

No, it's nothing serious.

You don't need to worry.

Don't skip your meals.

There you are.

I'm sorry, Mr. Nam. It's better that I go,

but I have to take my mom to the hospital today.

Don't worry. I can go instead.

-Is this everything? -Yes.

She said she'll buy what she needs there,

but you know she probably won't.

Especially with that recent scandal.

I'll take care of it,

so just take care of your mother, okay?

Okay.

HOTEL MARKETING STRATEGIES

Hello?

Mr. Kim Jin-hyuk. This is Mr. Nam.

Yes, hello.

You need to accompany me on a business trip.

Hello.

-You were home on a weekend? -Yes.

But what's with the sudden business trip?

Oh, I'm sorry.

By the way, do you drive?

Let's talk on our way. Ms. Cha must be lonely.

-Oh, come on! -My gosh, stop.

What's gotten into you?

I picked you as my mentor.

I'm going to run your second store, okay?

I'm not interested in franchising.

Come on. A man should dream big when he does business.

You be the CEO of Chan's Whelks.

I'll just be the manager.

No, I said I'm not interested.

Let's get to that later.

Now teach me the secret to your delicious whelks.

Just go back home.

-I'll do it. -You're annoying me.

-Give it. -You're driving me nuts!

-Hey, why are you pestering me? -Come on, teach me!

I need a job now that I'm back.

Oh, whatever. Do what you want.

Come on, tell me!

Gosh, don't be childish!

Dae-chan, please!

We're from the headquarters. We have something for Ms. Cha.

I don't think she's in right now.

I saw her go out for a walk.

Then why don't you wait here?

I need to go downtown.

A friend asked for a favor. It won't take long.

Sure, I'll wait here.

-Okay then. -Okay.

I'll see you.

Mr. Kim Jin-hyuk?

How…

I'm here on a business trip with Mr. Nam.

That article must've been a shock.

I was shocked at all the malicious comments.

I'm used to it.

I'm sorry I kept ignoring you.

I didn't want to trouble you by exposing you,

so I couldn't even call.

I'm perfectly fine. Don't worry about me.

What is it?

I SEE YOU LIKE I SEE A FLOWER NA TAE-JU

Your photo. I'm nervous because this photo doesn't do you justice.

It's nice.

Read this when you're bored.

It's my favorite poetry collection.

That one is my favorite.

LONGING

You're into literature, aren't you?

You like novels, and you like poetry.

When I was young, I often had to spend time on my own.

All my friends would be called home for dinner,

but my parents would be busy with the shop.

Playing in the arcade got boring.

So one day, I went to the library to kill time.

And from then on…

Yes, Mr. Nam.

Yes.

I guess it can't be helped.

Take your time. There's no need to rush.

Okay, bye.

Will he be late?

Yes, he needs to sort something out with his friend in Sokcho.

Then why don't we go for a drive?

-Pardon? -Isn't it boring, staying here?

We're at Sokcho, the city of the sea.

But I have work to do.

I heard from Mr. Nam.

You're just waiting for that artist anyway.

Why don't we get some fresh air?

I want another ride in that awesome car.

Can I open the window?

It's your car...

so as you wish.

The wind's cold, so just for a minute.

There's no medicine for a cold when you're busy.

You must have a dictionary full of special sentences.

Or is it all the reading?

Let's just say I'm special.

I wonder if there's delicious bread and coffee in Sokcho as well.

Should I look for a cafe? We have enough time.

I think it was good because we were in Cuba.

What kind of an argument is that?

We're in Gangwon Province, we should have coffee and potato cakes.

Potato cakes. They're my dad's favorite.

Oh, really?

My dad loves them too.

I guess we click on many things.

You and I.

Aren't you going a bit too far

over potato cakes?

Then let's say we're not.

You don't like them?

I haven't had them since I was in elementary school.

I see why my dad likes them.

They're delicious. I didn't know when I was little.

They're…

Actually, I don't know.

Is this your first time having one?

-Yes. -Then what was that just now?

What? I only said

it's a signature food in Gangwon Province.

But you said your father likes them.

It's day one from today, okay?

Who?

Me…

and this potato cake.

It really has a charming taste.

Isn't Mr. Nam done yet?

You look really comfortable around Mr. Nam.

Mr. Nam and my dad used to work together as reporters

at the same broadcasting station.

To my dad, he's his most trusted man.

And to me...

he's like a friend.

Wake him up and send him off already.

He's in deep sleep when he's not even drunk.

Excuse me? Hello?

Sir! Sir!

What? Where am I?

This is a sashimi restaurant.

Oh, I see. I dozed off…

Oh, man, what's the time?

Thanks for the food!

-Your change! -You can keep the change

and buy seasonings or something.

But we use all organic ingredients.

Well then use it to buy anchovies!

Ms. Cha, where are you?

I'm finally done.

Was it fun? I mean, did you wait long?

Are you at the hotel?

I'm at a restaurant by the sea.

A restaurant by the sea?

I see you, Mr. Nam.

What, you see me?

Are you done with your friend?

Well, yes… I…

Mr. Nam!

You startled me.

I keep telling you.

I'm more sensitive than you think.

Did you eat, Mr. Nam?

My stomach's about to burst…

I don't have an appetite.

That only means you ate too much.

We're by the sea. Can't I do some self-reflecting?

I'm hungry!

The spicy seafood stew there tastes great.

-You're here. -Yes.

Isn't it nice?

Yes. I'll take this one.

I'm sorry. This is on hold.

This one.

This one.

This one.

This one and…

This black one is nice too.

What's your size?

I guess she's about my size?

Have everything I picked out ready in your size,

and you can keep them.

But I'd like the other dress.

Tell the other customer that a crazy bastard...

stole it.

You can tell them it was me.

I really shouldn't do this.

I'll have it ready for you.

SOO-HYUN

JANG MI-JIN

-Yes, hello? -It's been a while, Ms. Jang.

Ms. Cha isn't in Seoul.

-Is she on a business trip? -I don't know what to call it.

The painting for the Sokcho hotel suddenly became unavailable.

So she's on standby to catch the artist.

And I have just the feeling it's because of President Kim,

but forgive me if I'm wrong.

Where is she now?

She's probably spacing out at the hotel that's not even open.

Soo-hyun, how about we play in the sand?

We used to play when you were young.

Are you scared people might recognize you?

It's okay. No one's interested in us.

-Okay, fine. -Really?

Then you two do it. My knees hurt these days.

Let's go back to the hotel.

Why don't you play with me?

I'm known as the forklift around Hongje-dong.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors.

-Ms. Cha. -You took a lot.

Why so little?

Because you took so much.

Well, here comes the forklift.

How's Soo-hyun?

Just holding on.

Spend some time with her.

Whenever she cried,

she looked for you first.

What?

Take it, then.

Hey, that's so unfair.

This is too dangerous.

I have a feeling I will no longer be the person she looks for

when she needs a shoulder to cry on.

-Ms. Cha. -He's better.

-Get in the water. -No, one more!

-Come on, hurry! -One more game. Please!

-Don't be absurd. -Come on.

-Just one more time. -Okay.

This time, you have to.

The loser has to take a dip.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Hold on.

Go ahead, Ms. Cha. Off to the sea.

No, just one more!

Be careful. It's hot.

-Thank you. -Enjoy.

Your seasoned whelks are here.

-Thank you. -Enjoy.

Don't just sit there. You're here to learn!

Dae-chan, I'm observing here.

You need another dish.

There's a limit to sales with just the whelks.

Just do the dishes.

I did enough of that in the army.

That's where you start.

-We need to get rid of this bureaucracy. -Get out!

I'll do it.

Jin-myung.

Who's this?

Why, it's my goddess, Hye-in!

-You finished your duty? -Of course.

I heard you work with Jin-hyuk. I can't believe he hasn't told you yet.

I know, right? Where is he?

He's on a business trip.

Are you sure you work for the same company?

-On a weekend? -Well…

Something's fishy.

Is he seeing someone?

Who? Jin-hyuk?

The guy who goes to the library to date books?

You don't know where he went either?

No, I don't. Who cares? He's an adult.

So, Hye-in. Do you want some beer?

No, I'm good. Jin-myung, let's have a drink soon.

-You're leaving? -I was just passing by.

-I'm off. -Sure, take care.

She could have had a glass of beer to help with the sales.

Right.

She could've at least bought me a drink.

She's gotten even prettier.

-Hey, get out. -I'll do the dishes.

Why don't you just come back to Seoul with us?

I don't think Master Jang is on a trip.

She's probably avoiding me.

I'm going to try her atelier tomorrow and on Monday.

Then I'll stay here with you.

Tomorrow's the anniversary of your father's death.

You're not even ready, are you?

I ordered some food for you.

It'll be delivered to you.

When did you…

Then how about I stay?

No, right?

I'm really fine.

I had a great day all day.

Gosh. Mr. Nam. Leave it here.

We tired you out, so you'll sleep well.

Don't make a habit of taking pills.

I really can't help it.

Isn't there a radio?

Ms. Cha, why don't you download a radio app?

They play a lot of good songs.

I have mountains of work to do.

I'm way behind on my work today.

It's time for you guys to leave.

Get some sleep.

We have a long way to go.

Let me take the wheel.

Why don't we stop by at the next rest stop?

You drove on our way here, so just relax.

I'm sure she's fine.

She's used to passing time alone ever since she was little.

Do you think she's just passing time?

Or is she...

just holding on?

It's too dark.

Don't tell me you're going to Sokcho.

Forgive me for stepping over the line,

but you can't

even protect Soo-hyun.

So stop asking about her like this.

Let's have ramyeon, brother.

At 3:00 a.m. in the morning?

I served whelks until 2:00 a.m. today.

Man, it's tougher than the army.

-Let's have ramyeon. -Go to bed.

Okay.

That was a story sent by listener 3927.

Yes, it gets lonelier when your friends leave you

after a night out together.

Here's a song for our listener 3927, who says it's her first time

sending in a story.

Why not console your loneliness with longing?

Here's Si Llego a Basarte by Omara Portuondo.

Ms. Cha, it's you, isn't it?

LONGING

There is a path you want to take when everyone is stopping you.

There is a person you want to see

when you tell yourself you shouldn't see him.

Some things you want to do more

when the world tells you not to.

"That is life, longing,

and you."

Dae-chan!

Dae-chan!

Can you get up for a second?

Dae-chan!

Yes, hello.

It's 30,000 won for the whelks.

-Mom, let me sleep. -Dae-chan!

Why is it so loud?

Dae-chan!

-Dae-chan! -What is it? What?

-You crazy bastard! -Dae-chan!

Dae-chan!

What? What? What?

Let me borrow your truck.

Why so early in the morning?

-Did your dad's car break down? -No.

I need to go somewhere.

Go where, you crazy bastard?

Hey!

Bring it back by morning. I need to shop for groceries.

CHAN'S WHELKS

I hope I didn't startle her.

Mr. Kim, what brings you back here?

There's a great hangover soup restaurant, but we didn't get to go yesterday.

Aren't you tired? Did you drive all the way here

just for that hangover soup?

You'll understand once you have some.

It's that delicious.

Let's have some, then.

Let's see if I'll understand you or not.

It will be great.

You may end up having two bowls.

Hold on, Ms. Cha.

There. Let's go.

Let's take that.

But it's rather uncomfortable.

The seats aren't very…

But I want to ride the truck.

We'll have to do what you want, then.

I think Ms. Cha is out.

Oh, is she?

I don't think I get what you mean.

Are you sure it's your first time?

Hangover soup has to be better than ramyeon.

I've had it before with Ms. Jang. We had soju too.

The one in Eulji-ro was better.

It hurts my pride when someone doesn't enjoy the restaurant I like.

Is their meat as juicy as this?

Yes, it was a lot juicier than this.

Mr. Kim.

While I am grateful,

why exactly are you here?

Because the music was too good.

It woke me up.

The music we listened to together

started playing on the radio.

At least the soup here is better.

Ms. Cha.

How would you define...

our relationship?

We're…

You're my employee, and I'm your boss.

I've been thinking on my way here.

I wondered if I was going too far since you're my boss.

I've been responsible as the eldest in my family,

and I've even completed my military service.

So why was I on my way to you?

I couldn't quite define what we were.

Mr. Kim.

The word "us" is a bit--

I came because I wanted to see you.

Because I wanted to see you.

There is a path you want to take when everyone is stopping you.

That is life…

longing…

and you.

That's why I came.

This is all very new, so it's burdening me.

For someone to let

someone else into their heart

is something very meaningful.

To be honest,

I don't want to be involved with you, Mr. Kim.

It's nothing serious.

It's not just a curiosity.

Listen, Mr. Kim.

Don't come any closer.
