This drama is based on a true story.

The plot was adjusted for entertainment purposes only.

We have no intention to offend any careers,

encourage immoral sexual values,

or create a pessimistic disposition of a gender or a group of people.

We would like to apologize in advance for any misunderstandings.

(present)

would you like to open up your heart and go out with me?

Do you know each other?

Yes.

We know each other well.

- I don't like it. - I've decided to go out with New.

Why are you this easy?

I'm her best friend.

And Joy knew him from before too.

You know your friend's not a regular woman.

I don't want you to overlook that feeling

because it might be a red flag

warning you to be careful.

Your phone

rang many times.

Is everything all right?

Who was it?

It's work.

Anyway,

I should go. You need to rest.

Okay.

Let me know when you get home.

Okay.

What happened to your hand?

Don't worry about it.

Wait.

How can I not worry about it?

Does it hurt? Did you get in a fight with someone?

Say what you have to say.

You texted me nonstop, telling me to come home.

About that...

Listen.

I realized

how I feel about Nan.

I don't love Nan in a romantic way.

I love her a lot as a friend, and I feel really protective of her.

Nan is like

the only safe space for me on earth.

Safe space?

Yes.

You know how everybody thinks of me negatively.

Nobody sees my worth,

not even my father.

But Nan is different.

Whenever I'm with her,

I feel safe and comfortable.

I'm afraid I'll lose her

if she's in a serious relationship

and cares for him more

than she cares for me.

I never knew

you were capable of caring for other people.

I might not act like it,

but deep down, I do.

Isn't it easier

to tell Nan how you feel?

Yes.

And I have. I have told her a million times.

I have even shown her,

but Nan is so certain that she will find true love one day.

Since I can't change her mind,

I have to pick a man for her instead.

I have to pick someone whom I know

won't take her away from me.

So that's where I came in.

That's right.

It's funny.

Everything was going the way you want,

but you got mad when you found out I started dating Nan.

Come on.

It was too soon. It normally takes Nan months to open up to somebody,

but you guys got together right away.

I wasn't ready for it.

Okay.

I get it.

I understand your plan now.

In the end...

I'm just a pawn

in your plan.

What's wrong?

Are you mad?

No.

Don't think of it that way.

I told you that I trust you the most.

You mean a lot to me too.

We didn't see each other for years,

but I never forgot

what you did for me.

Hurry back.

I'm waiting.

Who was it?

It's work.

Auy, Chod, you must be wondering

what I'm going to do

now that I know the truth.

If it was before,

I would have asked Joy directly what was going on.

But now,

I don't see the point of talking to a friend like her.

What are you planning to do?

I've decided to move forward with the relationship

even though I'm not sure

how it will end.

There are obvious signs.

Don't you think

it might be safer to walk away

than to move forward with the relationship?

If somebody has to get hurt from this,

shouldn't that person be me?

(Zolo Dance)

Aren't you going to help me?

I think you can get up on your own.

But I fell because of you.

I didn't mean to.

Aren't you going to apologize?

Be more careful next time so you don't get hurt.

I said, aren't you going to apologize?

Why should I?

I didn't mind

when you hurt me a lot more than this.

Now that it's your turn,

you are getting upset.

Your self-centeredness

is unfixable, isn't it?

What's the deal with you?

You suddenly started a fight.

What did I do to you?

Do you really not know?

Would I be asking you if I knew?

Are you mad you couldn't reach me yesterday?

Are you really my friend?

Do you think I'd get upset over your attention-seeking personality?

What are you talking about?

I'm not seeking any attention.

I disappeared

because I had to think some stuff over.

I didn't know a self-serving person like you

had stuff to think about.

Don't cross the line.

You have gone through worse with others.

So don't act like you are sensitive to my words.

I didn't care because those words came from other people.

But you are my friend.

I didn't expect you

to be that aggressive.

Didn't you say you've changed?

But didn't you hear what he said?

He said it as if Joy wasn't his daughter.

So you lost control of yourself

and did something like that

because of Joy?

(Five Years Ago)

Are you in a hurry to go home?

No.

Can you stay with me?

Don't do that.

Joy.

What?

I'll transfer you money

to get a hotel room next time.

Save your money to pay for her service.

You don't have to pay for a hotel room,

but a woman like her

wouldn't come home with an old guy like you for free.

This is my house. I can do whatever I want.

Let's talk about you.

You brought a guy over.

Don't you think you are making it too easy for him?

Do you feel better now?

What are you talking about?

Your father.

What he said to me or the fact that he brought a girl over?

Both.

I'm used to it.

Having to get used to it means you are not okay with any of it,

but you have no other choice

than to accept it.

Exactly.

Does it look like I have a choice?

You do.

At least you can prove him wrong.

Are you aware that my friends talk about you

that way too?

Are you worried about me?

I think I'm making it pretty clear

how I feel about you.

Thank you.

No one has ever made me feel

worthy before.

You are worthy.

You just need to be with someone who realizes that.

That someone is you.

This will be the last time

I get hurt because of you.

(Zolo Dance)

I'm sorry if I've upset you

in any way.

Don't apologize if you don't realize what you did.

Otherwise, it will sound like you don't mean it.

I don't buy it.

Hey.

I mean it.

Of course I mean it.

I might not know what I did to upset you,

but you should know

that I always mean you well.

New.

Where are you going?

We are going out for lunch.

Come if you want.

Let's go.

- Can you open the door? - Yes.

Thank you.

Give me some too.

But you don't eat fish.

I eat fish now, starting today.

Get it yourself.

You got some for him.

He's my boyfriend.

And I'm your friend.

You know how it is.

Friends

sometimes turn into strangers.

But a lover

is the person you will spend the rest of your life with.

The truth is

you should learn to do these easy tasks.

You've managed to pull off trickier stuff.

What tricky stuff are you referring to?

For instance,

jumping from man to man.

Or do you think

that's easier

than getting some fish from a plate yourself?

I can get it myself.

You two know each other anyway.

I wouldn't want my only best friend

to choke to death on a fishbone.

It would be pathetic to watch.

Try this one.

You have been acting strange today.

How?

Well.

You seem upset with something.

Do you think I'm upset with you?

No.

I don't.

I'm judging from what you did to Joy today.

You seem to care a lot about Joy.

No.

I'm speaking from what I saw.

I see.

I guess I've changed.

But it would be wrong to say she was the only person

who changed me.

Someone else played a part in it.

Who?

Do you really not know?

No.

That's all right. You will find out soon enough.

If you feel uncomfortable with the way I've become

and want to break up,

just let me know.

Hey.

I don't mind.

If it makes you happy to become a new person,

then be my guest.

I like every version of you.

All right then.

I will call you

when I get home.

Can you stay?

Is everything all right?

I want you...

to spend the night at my place.

What was the deal with her?

Tell that punk who came to my house the other day

that I will throw him in jail if he shows his face here again.

Who are you talking about?

What happened to your hand?

Don't worry about it.

Hey.

Somehow, I didn't notice this mirror

the last time I was here.

Do you see the photos on it?

Each year, more photos are added to the collection.

The photos remind us how long we've been friends.

We even agreed

to never remove the photos,

no matter what,

unless we terminate our friendship.

I didn't realize

putting up photos with a friend

could be that meaningful.

I felt the same way.

But I'm starting to think

there are too many photos.

Every time I look at them,

the photos make me uncomfortable

instead of making me feel good.

Look at them.

Do they make you feel

uncomfortable too?

I think...

Why don't you replace the mirror with a bigger one?

There's no need for that.

Because I'm thinking

I won't be using this one anymore.

Why not?

I'll use the one at your place instead.

What do you mean?

I'm moving in with you.

Were you two going at it? Was that why you didn't reply to my text?

Nan isn't like you.

You can't be certain. She's been acting weird lately.

She might do something unexpected.

I don't think there's anything

as unexpected as what you did.

There is, actually.

Such as

you getting into a conflict with my dad.

So your hand got hurt because of me.

Who told you?

Dad did.

He sent me footage from the CCTV cameras.

So you came to the conclusion that I got hurt because of you

just by watching that.

That wasn't the first time you did something like that.

Or are you going to deny it and say it's not true?

You can believe whatever you want.

And why did you go to my house?

If you watched the footage, you probably know I wasn't alone.

- Did Nan tell you to go? - Yes, she did.

She was worried when she couldn't get a hold of you.

And if she didn't tell me to go,

I wouldn't have set foot at that place again.

Are you done talking now?

So I'll be able to say what I want as well.

It's time you moved out of this place.

- Why? - Nan's going to move in.

What?

How come she's moving in all of a sudden?

Why? Is there any other reason for a couple to move in together?

And what about me?

Do you want me to go home and live there? You know my dad!

- I can't stand him! - I don't have a choice, okay?

Why does it feel like I'm about to be abandoned

even though I was the one who built these relationships?

Let me tell you something.

No one can get everything they want.

Even if you create something, you lose it sometimes.

(Zolo Dance)

What are you doing?

Huh?

You don't really think

I invited you to stay the night

just to...

embrace each other, do you?

But that's all I want to do.

Why?

Uh...

Well...

Uh...

Um...

I want to take things slow.

You're moving in anyway.

You'll get to know me better.

But if I end up

being someone

who's not right for you,

you won't have to regret

sleeping with me.

Hm?

I might've gotten

to know you well enough already.

I don't think so.

There are many things

you still don't know about me.

Nan,

don't worry.

One thing you can be sure of

is that I really like you.

And the feeling keeps getting stronger.

(Zolo Dance)

What's with you lately?

I saw it the other day.

You deliberately made Joy fall over.

Why?

She's a friend you've always cherished

and protected.

But now,

you're just going to hurt her?

It's nothing, really.

I just want to change myself.

Change yourself

for the worse?

Why?

Is it wrong

to want

to be strong?

And who said you're weak?

No one.

But that's how I feel.

People who change themselves for the worse

because someone hurt them

are the weak ones.

The person you are now is a good person.

You don't have to change anything.

If someone mistreats you,

then stay away from them.

That's it.

But if you really want to change yourself,

you need to keep a clear head

and not let your emotions take control.

Changing yourself

to be strong in the way you want

might not be worth the loss.

Think about it carefully.

Who are you?

Why are you in my room?

Huh? I asked you who you are!

Get out! I said get out!

Get out! Get out!

- Get out! - Joy!

Why did you slap me, Dad?

Why did you hurt my woman?

And why is your woman in my room?

- Who gave her permission? - I did.

But this is my room!

No one can come in here without my permission!

Why are you being so possessive over a stupid room?

You've been sharing your own body with someone else.

When are you going to stop insulting me?

When are you going to stop treating me like this?

Do you actually think I want to be like this?

Do you think I want to do it? Do you think it makes me happy

sleeping around like this?

I'm doing it because I don't know what else I to do!

I've never seen what real love looks like!

Dad, I'm sorry

for still being alive,

for standing here in your presence,

and for not being dead yet.

I'm sorry.

You said it'd be nice if I died.

But I'm still here, alive and kicking.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

I'm sorry!

(Nan)

(Joy)

(Joy)

What are you looking at?

Oh, nothing.

You look worried.

Really? Maybe I'm just hungry.

Let's get something to eat.

Okay.

You guys are just going to ignore me?

So? Who slapped you?

Dad, of course.

Since when did you start living at your house again?

Today.

Why? Did the guy you lived with

kick you out?

He didn't.

His girlfriend's moving in all of a sudden.

You were living with a guy who already has a girlfriend?

Do you have any morals at all?

I didn't do anything wrong.

I was actually there before his girlfriend.

It's not important whether you were there before or after.

The important thing is who he chooses.

Because if he had chosen you,

he wouldn't have kicked you out.

All right. I'll find you a new place to live.

Initially, I was going to ask you to live with me at my place.

But I don't think that's possible anymore

because I'm about to move in with New.

Can you drive over to Joy's place?

Why are we going there?

She got slapped.

Let's check on her and see if she's dead.

- But you're on your own. - Oh?

I have another commitment. I'm afraid can't go.

But it might be...

Please help me.

Consider this a favor.

Please check on my friend.

Okay.

Oh, and don't get into

a fight with her dad.

Mm.

I don't want to tend to your wounds again.

Okay.

Thanks for coming over.

Does Nan know you came?

Of course. She asked me to come.

She asked you to?

What is she thinking of doing?

She might not be thinking of doing anything.

She's worried

but couldn't come, so she sent me instead.

And, um... what's your plan tonight?

I'll probably stay here. Dad took his woman out.

But I still don't know what to do tomorrow.

Strange. They say

home should be the safest place.

But in this case, it ended up being the most dangerous.

I don't think it has anything to do with the place, home, or wherever.

I think it depends on

whomever you feel safe with.

Like when I'm with you.

Don't forget you also have Nan.

I don't think that's the case anymore.

I don't feel

like I'm safe when I'm with her anymore.

Why's that?

I can't really say. Ever since she started to change,

it's just a feeling I have.

How was Joy?

She had a cut on her lip like the story we saw.

Mm.

Do you think it hurts?

You bet it does.

It's nothing though.

Why do you say that?

I've seen her endure worse,

but she'll get better eventually.

So where did she stay last night?

Well, at her house.

Her dad went out.

Your place is actually quite big.

Even with me here, there's still lots of space.

Would it be okay

if I bring Joy over to live here too?

No one is the center of the universe waiting for others to please them

while forgetting that everyone has their own path to walk.

- What's up? - Has Nan found out?

You two should talk when I'm here and not behind my back.

Otherwise, you'll appear like his lover rather than an acquaintance.

If you're constantly going to burn me,

then why ask me to move in with you?

It's probably something friends should do for each other.

There's no way three people can live together forever.

I admit that being alone

is better than having a horrible friend like you.

She's sleeping, and you see the wine. She's drunk.

She's freaking drunk? Say no more.

You're beginning to feel like you're worth something.

Likewise.

Says who?

It's time you moved out of this place.

- Why? - Right, right.

Why?

Why?

- Shut the door in her face. - And my foot too.
