All language subtitles for Encounter 05

First the scandal, and now that post.

I don't think it's appropriate
for you to just avoid them.

It's tainted the company's reputation.

Let's go.

Ms. Cha!

Ms. Cha Soo-hyun.

Are you off work now?

I have some money on me today.

I'll treat you today,

so how about we go have some ramyeon?

What?

That man was Jin-hyuk?

Jin-hyuk.

What? Is he the guy?

We may get stuck in traffic
if we go to a rest stop,

so how about we eat cup noodles
at a convenience store instead?

Let me treat you instead.

Is this for real, Ms. Kim?

Ms. Cha, shall we go
to a convenience store?

Just drop off Mr. Kim somewhere quiet.

Well, this is a weird mix
for going to have ramyeon.

Exactly.

Please pull over somewhere quiet.

Why not just pull over
right there, Mr. Nam?

Yes, we'll drop you off right there,

-Ms. Jang.
-What? Me?

Yes, we should go, Ms. Jang.

Mr. Nam, this isn't
something you can just joke about.

We can't all go like some varsity team.

Right, Ms. Cha?

If you feel left out,

you can go to the convenience store
with Mr. Nam.

I can't believe this.

Ms. Cha, be smart.

This could cause a headache.

Mr. Nam, why didn't you stop her?

Gosh, I think it's been about 25 years.

What?

I haven't seen
a fine guy like him in ages.

I was exactly like him 25 years ago.

Gosh, I'm going to lose it.

You don't have a man like that, do you?

Taxi!

Let's go to a convenience store, Mi-jin.

Baby! Let's go grab some ramyeon!

Baby!

Baby!

We're not really going
to a convenience store, right?

-I'll drop you off at home.
-No.

If we eat ramyeon now,
we'll wake up puffy tomorrow.

So let's go to a great cafe instead.

Is there an amazing vending machine
that you know of?

There's a perfect place we can go

to calm your heart on a day like this.

You need to turn right over there.

This is the cafe you were talking about?

My gosh, Jin-hyuk!

-Oh, my goodness!
-Ma'am.

Oh, my goodness.

You haven't visited in ages.

It's been too long, right?

You've lost weight.

You've become more beautiful.

Did you have fun in Cuba?

Yes, it was amazing.

Oh, my.

She's a friend I met in Cuba.

Oh, really?

Well, welcome.

It's an unfamiliar atmosphere, isn't it?

I'm sorry for intruding.
This seems like a private space.

Anyone who loves tea is a friend of mine.

Now that Jin-hyuk is here,

-I should serve some fine tea.
-Please.

Make yourself comfortable.

It's nice, right?

I mentioned Ms. Lee to you
when we were in Cuba.

Remember I told you about my dad's friend
who used to own a photo studio?

The one who gave you that camera?

Yes, she's his wife.

She used to be a teacher,

but ever since her husband passed away,

she's been spending her days traveling.

This building looks like a church.

Yes. She bought an empty church
because it was cheap.

Quite eccentric, right?

Wait right here.

I'll go lend her a hand.

Is she your girlfriend?

Sorry?

Didn't you bring her here
to introduce her to me?

Not exactly.

We just needed a moment to calm down.

Why?

Did you ask her out?

Do you think she'd say yes
if I asked her out?

Let's see.

You're ugly today.
Save it for another time.

Oh, please.

I'm getting even more handsome every day.

I think your vision's failing.

What did you say?

-Take another look.
-That's enough.

No, not today! I'm not looking.
I'm not going to look.

How's the tea?

It's so smooth and nice.

We have many other kinds of tea here,

so stay and try them all.

As for me…

Are you going somewhere?

I served you tea, so my work here is done.

Look after the place while I'm gone.

I have to visit an elderly neighbor
to massage her shoulders.

I won't take long.

Oh, that's right.
I received some fine tea from Kunming.

You should try it. It's really nice.

Okay. See you, then.

Have you calmed down a bit?

You surprised me.

And now you've helped me calm down.

I'm sorry I surprised you like that.

But I don’t regret it at all.

Jin-hyuk, things will get harder at work
starting from tomorrow

now that everyone knows.

More false rumors will start spreading.

President Cha.

I've made up my mind.
That's why I stepped forward.

Made your mind up about what?

That you'll let yourself become
the center of gossip at work?

Don't get upset
after drinking that fine tea.

Jin-hyuk, this is not a joke.

You're saying
all the things I want to say.

This is not a joke.

I've made up my mind to try and become...

someone meaningful to you.

I think we should go.

We need to watch the place.

She's not back yet.

There's a lot of expensive tea here.
We can't have anyone breaking in.

Besides, the best tea...

is from the second steep.

President Cha!

I'll treat you today,

so how about we go have some ramyeon?

One, two.

I'm having lunch with my parents,
so let's catch up later.

I'll also call later
after I eat lunch with my family.

Let's meet up and drink all night.

Hye-in, what about you?

Do you want to come with us?

My parents are almost here.

I think my dad only just got here.

We're going to take some photos together,

-so you guys go ahead.
-I'll text you later!

-See you.
-Bye!

Hey, Mom!

-Mom, I've been waiting!
-Really?

Hye-in.

-Jin-hyuk.
-Hey, congratulations.

Thanks to you, I get to come
to an all-girls' high school.

What about your part-time job?

I changed my shift.
Your dad couldn't come, right?

No. I told him to stay
at the hospital with my mom.

Let's grab lunch and go to the hospital.

Did your mom's surgery go well?

Yes.

We should take a picture
since it's your graduation.

I had no idea you'd be here. Thanks.

Don't mention it. This is what friends do.

Now look at the camera.

One, two, three.

Let's take one together. There we go.

Look at the camera.

Congratulations, Hye-in.

One, two, three.

Now what?

What should I do, Jin-hyuk?

Excuse me.

Do me a favor.

Sure. If it's something I can do.

Can you send a text to Mr. Kim?

Tell him to come by.

Why don't you do it yourself?

Because he won't come if I text him.

You seemed pretty suspicious last time.

Are you a loan shark?

But Jin-hyuk's not the type of guy
to turn to that.

I don't look like a loan shark.

Hey, I sometimes get asked
if I'm a professor.

-You can't judge a book by its cover.
-There's nothing academic about you.

Fine. Text him yourself.

I'm not saying you look dumb.

Hey, just send him a text.

Gosh, you're so loud!

Why are you yelling
when you're asking me a favor?

People will think
you're a hysteric old maid.

Now I'm an old maid?

Then what? Are you 18?

-You don't look so young to me.
-Are you asking for a fight?

Why would I want to fight
with a woman I've only seen twice?

Then why pick a fight?

You're the one who barged in here
and started all this.

What a weird middle-aged lady.

Middle-aged lady?

You must be since you're not an old maid.

I'm still single.
I'm not some middle-aged lady.

Why am I even talking to you right now?

I don't want to know,
and I don't need to know.

If I send that text, will you be quiet?

I'm only letting it slide
because I really need

to meet Mr. Kim today.

What a ridiculous whelk shop.

My whelks are delicious.

You mean that little punk
willingly stepped up?

They must be out of their minds.

So, what will you do, then?

Are you just going to let
President Cha slip away?

I'm counting on you, Director Choi.

I hope you don't disappoint me.

What was that about?

Soo-hyun's gone crazy
with that young punk.

How shameless of her.
And in front of all those employees.

How humiliating.

Did something happen?

I'm done talking about it.

What did you mean when you just said,

"Are you just going to let
President Cha slip away?"

I can't just watch Donghwa Hotel
fall to its demise.

If the CEO's gone crazy,

we should replace her with a new one.

That hotel is her business.

Who gave it to her?

Did you forget it was her alimony?

How could I forget?

She impressed me
by making something out of it,

but now she goes and blows it.

I should call up the board

and kick her out.

Secretary Kim, find out what happened
at Donghwa Hotel today.

Ms. Cha, about the painting
you were waiting for in Sokcho.

Did you manage to get it back?

It's been settled.

Thank goodness. You worked so hard for it.

I don't know much about paintings or art.

But I must say,

the artwork displayed in our neighborhood
really does uplift me.

Is there an art museum?

Yes.

There are paintings
by famous artists from the '40s

and landscape paintings by foreign artists
I'm not familiar with.

I go there whenever I have time.

That's strange.
I thought I knew all the art galleries.

There's a place like that in Hongje-dong?

-Yes.
-I think you're lying.

What's the name?

Maybe you're talking about
one of the galleries near Buam-dong?

No, it's definitely in our neighborhood.

I'm the docent of Hongje-dong.

Trust me.

You have so many titles, don't you?

Hongje-dong's forklift.
And now, Hongje-dong's docent.

Drop by sometime.
I'll walk you through the works.

You can drop me off at that station there.
I'll just take the subway.

Hey, Mr. Kim.

Starting from tomorrow at work--

President Cha, now that it's come to this,

it'll be weird if we become awkward
around each other.

So from tomorrow onward,
we need to be closer than ever.

The office is not that casual.

It's not like I'll be treating you
like a friend.

Did that sound funny to you?

Yes, it did.

Call me if you want to go
to that art gallery.

You erased that photo
of my phone number, didn't you?

-I'll write it for you again.
-It's 010-4329-2026.

I memorized it
when you wrote it on my hand.

I have a good memory.

Unbelievable.

You really are amazing, Ms. Cha.

Then how come you've never texted me once?

Because I never needed to.

You got my number,
so why won't you give me yours?

I never asked for it.

You forced it on me, Jin-hyuk.

I feel like we're much closer
now that you're calling me Jin-hyuk.

Shouldn't you go now?

I'll stop teasing you.

I was only trying to comfort you
in case today's incident frightened you.

I'm not frightened.

I'm quite used to this now.

See? When you laugh about it,
it's really nothing.

President Cha.

You're the CEO of Donghwa hotel,

daughter of Munhwa Party's leader,
Cha Jong-hyun,

and ex-daughter-in-law of Taegyeong.

That's who you are,

so I should treat you accordingly, right?

You really don't need to.

Precisely.

So let us get rid of the wall.

"Us" again.

I told you not to put it like that.

I don't see why that's necessary.

Goodbye, then.

If you chicken out,
you're letting them win.

Worrying will only ruin your health.

Good night, then.

Hey, you're here.

-Where's Jin-myung?
-Well, he went home early

saying he had to play a game.

Seriously. Some part-timer he is.

Did you wait for me?

Why don't you take a seat?

You caused a lot of trouble, Mr. Kim.

I only disclosed the truth.

I'm sure you know better,

but Ms. Cha didn't deserve
to be condemned like that.

To be honest, I was a little touched.

I'm sure it wasn't easy
to step up like that.

I'm a secretary,
so I always put President Cha first.

Which means I'm worried about
what will happen tomorrow.

The reason I waited here today

was to thank you
for all you've done so far.

But from now on,
just treat her like a stranger.

You two were strangers to begin with.

You being serious about this

will only make things weirder.

That's why we decided

to stay casual about this.

What? "We"? Did you say "we"?

Did you just refer
to you and Ms. Cha as "we"?

Yes, it's a first-person pronoun.

This is giving me a headache.

-Excuse me.
-Yes?

Can I have a bottle of soju?

You should have whelks on the side.

The whelks here are really good.

This place is strange.

CHAN'S WHELKS

Hey, Jin-hyuk. The cab is here.

Gosh, who is that woman?

What's going on between you two?

A senior colleague at work.

What? So she works
for that prestigious company?

My gosh, what a waste of a good position.

She should learn to watch it with alcohol.

The only friend Soo-hyun has left is me.

Her family is really rich,
so she was never allowed a boyfriend.

Then she was practically
sold off by her mother.

You're too young to handle her.

Do you think Taegyeong Group is a joke?

Her father's political career?

He wouldn't be where he is now
without Taegyeong.

That's why she's chained for life.

She still gets called
for her ex-mother-in-law's birthday.

If she doesn’t go...

they'll have a fit.

Yet I've never seen
that stubborn girl cry.

Although she must be
feeling like hell inside.

What kind of a life is that,

President Cha?

Right. It's really nothing.

This is not a joke.

I've made up my mind to try and become

someone meaningful to you.

Now that it's come to this,

it'll be weird if we become awkward
around each other.

So from tomorrow onward,
we need to be closer than ever.

It's not like I'll be treating you
like a friend.

Good morning, President Cha.

-Good morning, President Cha.
-Good morning.

She came in early.

She still came even after yesterday.

At the lobby?

Yes, apparently so.

Thanks.

Mr. Kim.

Yes, sir?

Look into that employee.

I want to know everything.

He must be the new recruit.

-That's him.
-He's the guy.

I saw him yesterday.

Gosh.

I've never had such a shock
in all my time here.

Hye-in, don't you think it's shocking?

What is?

I mean, they're both just shocking.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Here's the man
who has stellar strings he can pull.

-Pardon?
-Sorry. You heard that?

Jin-hyuk.

Be honest.
What's your relationship with Ms. Cha?

She's someone I got to know somewhere,

and I found out she was the CEO
after I got hired here.

Do you really expect me to believe that?

She's like a celebrity!

I don't know those kinds of things,
so I didn't know.

Mr. Park.

It's time to switch to work mode, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

It looks like
you drank too much last night.

Yes, all thanks to you.

Why didn't you just have noodles?
How much did you drink?

I drank so much
that I even left my wallet there.

That's never happened before,
but why yesterday?

By the way, do you know
of an art gallery in Hongje-dong?

The word "Hongje-dong" makes me nauseous.

And I don't want to know, either.

You and Kim Jin-hyuk,
who seem to have agreed

to refer to yourselves
with a first-person pronoun.

So I don't even know anymore.

What do you mean?

I heard you both decided
to be casual about this.

You met Jin-hyuk?

"Jin-hyuk"?

Gosh, my stomach.

Get some hangover soup.

I'm burning black inside,
so I guess black coffee it is for me.

I'll have some too.

No! You make your own coffee!

Dae-chan, what's your lock pattern?

-Why?
-Sign up for a dating app.

How long are you going to date whelks?

-Dating app?
-Yes.

Come on. Do I really need
to resort to this to meet girls?

Dae-chan, trust me.

You need to actively search.
Come on. Hurry up.

That's so like you.

Anyway, so you download this app,

and you enter your profile.

Then girls will start
messaging you like crazy.

-Don't lie to me.
-I'm serious.

Let's take a profile photo.
Don't show your face.

No. If I have to upload a picture,
my face should show.

Do you want to be rejected from this app?

What's wrong with my face?

It's just a little…

Cover your beard with this hand.

-Like this?
-No, the other way.

This is so annoying.

Like this?

-Okay.
-Take a good one.

Girls don't like beards.

Two, three.

Oh, my head.

TWO NEW MEMBERS TODAY

Has a newbie joined the group?

Let's see.

Will he get rid of this headache for me?

LEE DAE-CHAN

Oh, my head.

Wait a second. He's quite familiar.

Where did I see him?

Is he an employee here?

"Owner of a franchise restaurant."

As in chicken?

Pizza?

Or a family restaurant?

Let's not bring up

the merger with Hwamin Party anymore.

Though that's the consensus in our party,

Taegyeong will start to exert pressure.

We can't have conglomerates
running the country.

There's a limit to their demands.

We need to stop getting swayed.

Merge parties?

If our visions correlate,
it's not entirely impossible.

But Munhwa Party and Hwamin Party
have completely different identities.

Let us go...

our own way.

Shall we go out for lunch?

That pork cutlet place is good.

No, it's okay.

I'll just eat at the company cafeteria.

I guess you were shocked too, right?

A bit.

Jin-hyuk.

About that anonymous post
on our web board…

Hey, here's our star.

-Let's go eat.
-Yes, sir.

-What was that, Hye-in?
-Nothing.

Let's talk later. Go have lunch.

That's him.

-That's him?
-Is it him?

-Do you think he's handsome?
-Handsome?

He is on the handsome side.

-An anonymous post?
-He's unbelievable.

He's young.

I'm sorry, Mr. Park.

I don't feel so good after all.

Oh, okay.

Go get some rest, then.

Looks are important for guys too.

Hey, it's Mr. Kim Jin-hyuk.

Is he skipping lunch?

When you laugh about it, it's nothing…

You have that radio app, right?

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

They play a lot of good songs.

Listen to the radio if you're bored.

How about you send a song request
to your favorite DJ?

It's such a fine day
that I'm thinking of running away,

but I don't have the courage to go alone,
so I'm just spacing out.

I don't think your CEO
will be happy to hear that.

Then I suppose it's safe

if I skip work with the CEO?

Why don't we apply for an early leave
and go to that art gallery in Hongje-dong?

The weather's too good today.

I have important appointments,
so I don't think…

Then what if your CEO joins you
so you have an excuse?

I suggest you come in your jogging outfit

instead of looking elegant.

What a weird exhibition.

You're not feeling well?

No, I'm fine.

It's just that…

You can be honest with me.

It's not that I'm sick.

But…

Okay, then.

We have nothing urgent today,
so you can go.

I'm sorry.

Talk about the solid support he has.

I have a private schedule.

-You can go home for today.
-That's great.

Assemblyman Cha wanted to see me.

Looks like I'm busted, right?

Hey, you did nothing wrong.

What's there to be busted for?

Looks like my mom will call soon.

See?

-Hello?
-Where are you?

I'm on a business trip.

-To where?
-Busan.

You'll be back in Seoul tonight, right?

I'll have to see.

Are you serious right now?

I'm going into a meeting.
Let's talk later.

Should I tell them I'm back from Busan?

Tell Dad to act like I'm in Busan.

Okay.

Soo-hyun.

Yes?

Nothing can stop flowers from blooming
when the spring breeze arrives.

No matter how stubborn those flowers are,

they all bloom in the end.

Right.

What? Who was that just now?

Goodness. Is that you, Jin-hyuk?

Hey, why are you back at this hour?

Because I'm not well. I mean…

I'm meeting someone.

What's he talking about?

See? This is why I told you to come
in your jogging outfit.

We need to walk for a bit, so wear this.

No, it's okay.

Do I look cold?
You always take your coat off for me.

Just in case you are.

I thought we were going to an exhibition.

Why did you bring me here?

To see an exhibition.

I'm leaving.

Come on.

See? I wasn't lying.

You call this an art gallery?

Yes.

There's art.
There's Cha Soo-hyun who loves art.

And there's Kim Jin-hyuk,

who happens to like Ms. Cha who loves art.

How is this not a gallery?

Your hand…

It stretches all the way to there.

There's plenty of great art.

I've been deceived.

Shall we walk?

Why not let your docent guide you through?

First, this is Couple by Lee Jung-seob.

Lee Jung-seob is one of the
greatest modern painters of Korea.

Does he even clean his room these days?

What… What is this?

-Mom.
-Oh, my.

I'm hungry.

When did you come home?

I wanted to get some sleep
before I go to work tonight.

You're still half asleep, aren't you?

-Hey, Jin-myung.
-Yes?

What do you think these are?

Did you buy shoes, Mom?

No, your brother…

I guess he bought them for you.

-For me?
-Yes.

Try them on.

Or maybe not.

Maybe not.

This is my favorite painting.

I always make sure to see this
while I'm out jogging.

At first, I didn't get
what kind of painting it was

because it just had
a bunch of squares on it.

But I started liking it more
as I kept looking at it.

It turns out those colors
are the result of much endurance.

I like this artist too.

Including his early works.

Isn't that a nice title?

"Where, in What Form,
Shall We Meet Again?"

Apparently, it was inspired
by the poem, In the Evening.

"Of the many stars,

one is shining down at me.

Of the many people,

here I am looking up at that star."

"You and I share
great intimacy between us.

Where, in what form, shall we meet again?"

What? You know that poem as well?

I didn't know the poem to start with.

I came to learn it through this painting.

We met penniless in Cuba.

Then we met again
as employer and employee.

Our relationship is quite interesting.

Now I'm starting to get used to it.

That first-person plural, "us."

Where, in what form,

do you think we'll end up meeting again?

Not much will change from here.

The sun's about to set,
and we've seen all the paintings.

So why don't we go eat something nice?

No, I should get going.

Thanks for showing me the paintings.

I guess you're busy, right?

If you ask me with
an expression like that,

how am I supposed to answer you?

If you feel so bad, you can say,

"I guess I could stay for dinner."

-Let's drink.
-Sure.

Assemblyman Cha, I'm glad
we're able to drink like this.

What's with the "Assemblyman"?

Don’t call me that now.

Sure, Jong-hyun.

Busy these days, right?

Yes, as always.

How is Soo-hyun these days?

It's been quite noisy lately,

but she looks fine to me.

I saw the news,

and her mother said something to me too.

That young man
mentioned in the articles is actually

a new recruit at Donghwa Hotel.

-Is he?
-Yes.

But I must say I admire him.

In what way?

Someone spread a dirty rumor
about Soo-hyun and him

-on the company web board.
-What kind of rumor?

You don’t want to hear it.

Anyway, it put Soo-hyun
in a tough situation.

But this young man stepped up

in front of all those people.

"I'm that man from the article.

Ms. Cha has never been involved with
some low man as the rumors say."

Gosh, it was so satisfying
to see him do that.

Isn't he admirable?

And what did Soo-hyun say?

She stayed quiet,
but I bet she was grateful.

What if this young man goes out of his way

only to make things harder for her?

Only time will tell,
but he doesn't seem like that kind of guy.

Here are the whelks.

-I don't drink.
-Have a glass!

The whelks are great.

Is your wife doing well?

-Yes, of course.
-Great.

Hello. Welcome…

to Chan's Whelks.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I left my wallet…

Oh, it's over there.

Oh, my gosh!

How could you peg it like this?

Do you know just how much this is?

My gosh.

I was trying to keep it safe
from the sauce.

Do I really deserve this?

You call that safe? You just hung it!

What is wrong with you?

You got smashed and left it here.

"Smashed"?
What's with that vulgar expression?

What are you doing here?

My gosh. What am I seeing?

Why are you two here together?

We went to see an exhibition,
and I brought her here to eat.

Just when I thought I got sick of alcohol.

Jin-hyuk, can you tell this person…

I mean, this lady,

who is your senior at work…

Can you get rid of her?

I'm not an object.
You want him to get rid of me?

Why aren't you using honorifics?

You sound quite vulgar yourself.

You should have some whelks with us.

-No, thank you.
-You should join us.

Are you also a senior colleague
at Jin-hyuk's workplace?

-Well, yes.
-Welcome.

I'll serve them up real good for you.

Here. Take a seat.

Ms. Jang, your eyes will pop out
if you keep glaring.

-Yes, whatever.
-My goodness.

These younger employees
have been blessed with good looks.

"Younger employees"?

Well, she looks much younger than you.

-How?
-They're friends, Dae-chan.

Okay, then. I'll be in the kitchen.

I say this place is to blame.

This whole place is the problem.

You two are the bigger problem!

Mr. Kim, are you seriously…

Okay.

I'll shut up.

Goodness, is there a full moon tonight?

Your beauty just brightened up
this whole place.

Don't look at me. You're blinding me!

-Be nice to him.
-What's with you?

-She's just so blinding.
-Please.

Please take good care of Jin-hyuk at work.

He's so naive.

You'll want to come again.

Hey, I thought you were at the library.

I'm going home now.
I wanted to buy some pens.

-What about you?
-Well…

I wanted to get a diary.

Right, it's the new year soon.

-So did you pick one?
-Not yet.

What about this one?

Or does the color stand out too much?

It's nice. It's bright,
so it'll always be in sight.

I was looking at it.

Really? I guess we clicked.

I think this one's the nicest.

Yes.

Here you go. Try some.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

Thanks.

Jin-hyuk!

Did you eat dinner?

My boss won't let me eat.

What?

Isn't this person… I mean,

Isn't she…

Say hello.

This is my brother.

I see. Nice to meet you.

They're Jin-hyuk's senior colleagues
from work.

Does that mean you were that ramyeon guy?

What ramyeon guy?

This is so dramatic.

-I'm off, then.
-Goodbye.

Jin-hyuk, what's going on?

Tell me!

Jin-hyuk!

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

She's a VIP guest.

If I knew beforehand,
I would've served noodles on the house!

Man, I really had no idea
you were the ramyeon guy.

What's all this ramyeon about?

Be quiet. You still have customers.

I should call Mom.

Hey, don't.

Just keep it to yourself.
Mom will be worried.

-Why? What is she to you?
-What?

What's the matter?

-What's your relationship?
-Come on. Tell us.

-Ramyeon guy!
-Hey, ramyeon guy!

We noted nothing special.

He's from an average family,
and there's nothing special.

This is awkward, right?

-Yes.
-Shall we have a drink?

-Excuse me.
-Yes?

I think it looks like
I need to make you like me.

But I have no talent
for these kinds of things, you see.

So why don't you just tell me honestly?

Tell me what type of girls you're into.

I'll try my best to fit that description.

I never had an ideal type.

But I think I do now.

Can you put it into simpler words?

I'm actually quite smart,

but not with stuff like this.

That's my type.

Someone who's just like you.

Soo-hyun.

You can't take responsibility
for what happens to him.

He's just starting out,
and you're making it difficult for him.

I know.

So I'm running away,
but I'm always back where I started.

It's like I'm in a maze.

You're surrounded by enemies,
and that includes your own mother.

I just wish you'd stop here.

This is so frustrating, Mi-jin.

You mean, your enemies?

No, the timing.

What are you on about?

This…

This feeling…

I wish I'd felt this way when I was young.

But it had to be now,

at this age...

when I'm a divorcee
whom the whole world knows about.

It frustrates me that it had to be now.

You like him, don't you?

I don't know.

I just…

I just keep getting curious about him.

You're right. The timing sucks.

Thanks for saying that.

Are you going to go any further than this?

You know what my life is like.

I'm good at holding it in.

You're going to reach nirvana
at this rate.

I know you're not in Busan.

How dare you lie to me?

I called your office,
and they told me you had no business trip!

I'll call you tomorrow.
I'm driving right now.

I don't think I can live
a single day as you.

Time passes when you hold it in.

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

I think it was all good
because it was in Cuba.

Spending a day together.
Spending little moments together.

It was fun sharing them with you.

But to drift apart...

It's still painful.

That's why...

I want to stop.

You're Cha Soo-hyun.

Yet that scandal in the tabloids,

and with a man who is much younger.

Did you ever see me do anything
to upset anyone?

Ever since Dad entered politics,
I couldn't even yawn when I wanted to.

And after I married into that family,

I couldn't even breathe, let alone yawn!

Even now, I…

This isn't just playful curiosity.

For someone to let
someone else into their heart…

It's something very meaningful.

President Cha. I've made up my mind.

That's why I stepped forward.

Jin-hyuk, this is not a joke.

You're saying all the things
I want to say instead.

I've made up my mind to try and become

someone meaningful to you.

See? When you laugh about it,
it's really nothing.

The rumors about Ms. Kim
are going to ruin our hotel's image.

I guess she fell hard
for that younger guy.

I've made up my mind to try and become...

someone meaningful to you.

WHERE, IN WHAT FORM,
SHALL WE MEET AGAIN - KIM WHAN-KI

Can you even see it when it's this dark?

Jin-hyuk.

You know, we just met again
under the Naebu Expressway.

What shall we say

we met again as?

It looks like...

you caught me.

You caught me here at this hour.

I'm usually good at holding things in,

but here I am now.

I read this in a book once.

That this undefined feeling
you have for someone

is the battle between
the confirmation and suspicion

that you like him or her.

The confirmation and suspicion take turns

sweeping over you like tides.

And when suspicions fade
and only confirmation remains,

that's when love begins.

A battle…

President Cha.

Why don't we...

just let suspicion and confirmation...

battle it out against each other
so we can find out

what this really is?

How about this?

Why don't we say...

that we met again here
as two people who feel...

something for each other?

Okay.

Let's say we met again here...

as two people
who feel something for each other.

Let me be romantic.

Let's go for a bike ride.

It's my first time,
so I don't know what to do.

Let's have one each.

Take that off for me.

You're my mother,

and I'm your daughter.

I guess Soo-hyun was lonely.

EPILOGUE

Where am I?

I'm good at holding it in.

I really am.

Did you call because you're out of fuel?

-Yes.
-Okay.
