Original subtitles

These are the servers at this year’s Lab Bar.

She’s all plastic.

A bit of staring and touching wouldn’t tarnish her.

If I give you more tips,

can I touch you a bit more?

Manners are the thing that we all should have.

No matter how hard I try,

I will never be viewed as a valuable person like others, right?

I was waiting to see if someone would stand up against it.

I’m not surprised to see what happened at Lab Bar.

Saint.

My room is over there.

Huh?

I see.

So Saint helped you find a place to live.

He might have found me a room,

but for the most part, he was just being a nuisance.

Nuisance?

Hell yeah.

You were nitpicking, fussy, and meddling.

All the nitpicking, fussying, and meddling was necessary,

when your survival skill’s way below zero.

How the hell would you get by with what you brought with you?

You only brought books and a fish tank.

Wh...

There are… only books and a fish tank?

What about bed sheets?

Where are your clothes, toothpaste and toothbrush, cleanser and shampoo?

I can buy those later.

Ann.

Help me with this table.

You had no business talking to me about feng shui, though.

Feng shui?

Dude, you can’t put it there.

It’s bad feng shui.

Now this… is good feng shui.

But doesn’t it make life easier for you?

Who the hell puts a table there?

It’s my place.

I can put whatever I want wherever I want it.

Come and take your pillows and blanket back today.

I’ll go get them when you have your own.

And here I thought you guys hated each other.

Who knew you actually got along so well?

- Who would get along with this guy? - Who would get along with this guy?

Okay.

You don’t get along, I got it

Saint, but…

What did my mother tell you?

Well…

You’re still going back after that?

You’re going back after that?

Yes.

If I run, that means I let everyone else face it on their own.

But I’m going back to stop it from happening again.

What do you mean?

Can you two… help me with something?

[BASED ON LINE WEBTOON “MY ID IS GANGNAM BEAUTY” BY KI MAENGGI]

I thought we’d have to make two trips to get everything.

If you wanna call me a genius for coming up with the idea to borrow Ann’s car…

Be my guest.

Why would I do that?

You don’t call me a genius for getting everything Liu wants in such a short time.

But I don’t need your compliments anyways.

I didn’t do it for you. I did it for Liu.

I guess I gotta…

send some photos to win over the heart of Mrs. Sunee.

Mrs. Sunee?

Who’s that?

Liu’s Mom.

You don’t know?

Well, no wonder.

The person she trusts to take care of Liu is me, after all.

You idiot, slow down!

Like I said, I don’t want us to go through what we did yesterday again.

I want to show them that we won’t just blindly follow that stupid tradition.

But if we don’t, won’t Milin and Da get in trouble for that?

That’s why I want to talk to you all first.

If you’re not okay with this, just please tell me now.

Liu, I understand your feelings.

But Milin and I fought for this once,

and it fell through.

If we’re to fight for it again, it just won’t look good.

It’ll make us...

Look.

I don’t think they should put up with this even for another day.

Hey.

I know you’re worried those guys are going to call me out for it.

But these girls are literally telling us they’re not okay with this.

We can’t make them put up with it.

Screw them.

Whatever happens happens.

I don’t care about those idiots anymore.

We have to go for it.

If you say so, then I have your back.

Count me in.

What about you, Faye?

I’m so sorry.

This is all because of me.

I didn’t make it clear enough with them about the costumes.

I put you guys through this.

I’m sorry.

Don’t blame yourself.

It’s not your fault.

Let’s do this together.

Well, where’s the stuff?

Here they are.

Thank you for coming up with this idea, Liu.

I couldn’t stop this absurdity at all before.

But I believe you can do it.

I’ll make you a hero.

Thank you, Faye.

Alright.

Let’s go get them, guys.

I feel bad about yesterday.

What Guy said actually hit me.

I shouldn’t have challenged him to a drink.

Oh, the man thinks.

My dude here actually has brains, you know?

Are you saying he didn’t before?

You’re not helping, bro.

Speaking of which, it’s strange you’re nice enough to come back to help, Ann.

I’m not being nice.

I’m only here for the drama I heard will be happening.

How was it?

All good?

See for yourself.

Milin.

What’s with the mascots?

Where are Faye, Liu, and Mimi?

They’re all here.

What? That’s Faye?

What?

How can you do this?

Did you forget what our gimmick is?

Nobody forgets that.

We just refuse to do it again.

Don’t you think you’re going to disappoint the customers who are here to see...

See what?

To see the sexiness!

Who the hell would want to look at you like this?

If it’s sexiness you want, it’s here.

What’s that?

Creativity is the new sexy.

We’ve come up with new drinks.

If you want Lab Bar to do well, it gotta start with the menu.

We have to do things differently than the rest.

You think this kind of thing can up our sales?

Come on.

It wouldn’t hurt to let them try for half a day, right?

We’re opening soon.

If you want the old way, they have to spend at least an hour dressing up.

Why don’t we let them try for half a day?

If it doesn’t work, they’ll just stop being stubborn.

Whatever you guys say.

Fine.

You’ll see what actually works and what doesn’t.

I’ll be keeping a watchful eye on you two.

If we don’t make progress by then, it’s back to the changing room.

Fine.

Welcome!

Welcome to our booth!

Come on in.

Where are all the pretty girls?

Well, I’ve been told

that creativity is the new sexy.

What’s that?

There it is.

I’m going with scent marketing.

Uhh, what is that? I don’t get it.

It’s a strategy to attract customers by scent.

Something that smells amazing can increase people’s appetite.

Most restaurants use this strategy.

And so will we.

The first scent I’m going for is vanilla.

Vanilla smells sweet and inviting, not to mention relaxing.

We’ll leave diffusers on the tables so people catch a whiff of it,

nothing too strong, though.

Hey, this booth smells amazing.

Shall we?

Welcome. Please come in.

Hi there. Why don’t you take a look?

We’ve got a lot of new items on the menu.

Here.

Wow.

See?

What else do you think we should add?

I think it still lacks something.

Here.

Try this.

Oh?

Just top it up generously.

It looks so much better.

Here you go, Faye.

Go for it.

As for drinks, we can add rosemary which helps with memory,

and in turn makes people remember our drinks better.

Oh, that looks great.

- This would look amazing on social media. - Please come in.

Oh, we apologize,

but you’ll have to wait in line because we’re packed right now.

Oh?

Please kindly wait.

Of course.

I told you we can still sell even if we don’t do the same old thing.

Nonsense.

You haven't sold as much as we did yesterday.

One more thing, our regulars are those photographers,

and I bet they’re really disappointed right now.

Hmm.

Sure looks like it.

Snap!

One more. One, two, three.

-Another one.

Another one.

Third, my dude.

Love your booth, man.

People keep asking me to take a photo for them with these mascots.

Guess who’s making so much dough!

You’re right. We haven’t reached yesterday’s sales.

But it won’t be for long.

Let me help with the till here.

Gotta go.

We’re busy today.

Are the drinks even that good?

Do you want to try some?

Those two love it.

[The Lab Bar booth is sooo adorable today.] - Of course.

[Arghhh! I want to be there.] - Would you like to pay with QR code or in cash?

Of course.

Look here, guys. [The drinks are divine! Rosemary smells great.]

[Good presentation. This year’s booth is great!]

[It smells amazing inside. Bravo!]

[Guyssss, Lab Bar is so rad!]

Here’s your order. [Hurry up before they’re sold out.]

[I literally went twice because the drinks are that good.]

[They sell creativity, not just drinks.] [I literally went twice because the drinks are that good.]

How much have we made so far?

We’re going steady.

We nearly make as much as yesterday.

Okay.

Liu.

Hmm?

Water?

It’s okay. Saint already got me some.

[Liu]

Oh, dear.

Looks like you’re falling behind.

I’m not surprised, though.

Your eyes aren’t on Liu at all.

Mork said you keep staring at Faye.

Mork did?

Yeah.

Dude’s been observing you, you know?

What’s with you, though?

Why are you staring at her?

I have to keep an eye on her.

She said something suspicious back in the student society’s office.

Thank you for coming up with this idea, Liu.

I couldn’t stop this absurdity at all before.

But I believe you can do it.

I’ll make you a hero.

Thank you, Faye.

Here are your drinks.

Please enjoy.

Hello.

What would you like?

Yeah…

She does seem weird.

Seems like she’s working hard, though.

That’s exactly what’s weird about this.

Faye, how are you doing? Are you alright?

I am.

Faye, drink something.

You haven’t had anything to drink all morning.

Thank you.

Mork, order’s up.

Can I have some water?

Here you go, Mimi.

Thank you.

Today’s so much fun.

I’ve been asked for a photo countless times.

Even Note asked for one.

Guess we won them over a little?

If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t be having such a great time, Liu.

True.

You guys look really amazing on camera.

But everyone’s so full of energy today.

That’s true.

You guys look really amazing on cameras.

What do you think?

That’s adorable.

Thank you, Liu.

If it’s like this every year from now on,

I’ll build a statue to commemorate you and enact it right in the middle of Lab Bar.

That’s too much.

I’m getting back to work.

She’s really nice, isn’t she?

Now I understand why you guys voted for her to represent our major.

But the day’s still a long way from being over, Da.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

That’s right.

We all still have to work hard for this.

Guess we have to make these drinks faster to deserve a statue, too, huh?

Then what are we waiting for?

Back to work, guys.

Mork, go grab more ice.

Faye.

Here’s the drink.

Alright, sir.

Work fast. We’re swamped with orders.

Mork, I said go get more ice.

How are we doing, Guy?

One more drink sold and we’ll exceed what we made yesterday.

Faye?

Faye, what’s wrong?

Faye?

Faye.

Faye.

What happened to Faye?

- Faye. - Faye.

- Faye. - Faye.

- Faye. - Faye.

Get the suit off of her.

She needs air.

Got it!

[Lab Bar server down! She looks so sexy under that mascot!]

[Great show at Lab Bar! Here I thought there wouldn’t be any more sexy ladies.]

Stop.

Don’t take photos.

-No photos. [Girl just stripped.]

Please stop taking photos.

Don’t take any photos.

[Creativity really is the new sexy!] - Don’t take any photos.

[Creativity really is the new sexy!] [As expected of the Chemistry major.] -Don’t take photos.

Don’t take photos.

Don’t take photos.

Hey, we say no photos.

No photos, please.

[Lab Bar finally did it.] [Anyone has this girl’s handle?]

[Anyone got a compilation of that?] [I rushed back to the booth so fast.]

[Back with their gimmick, to no one’s surprise.]

Don’t take photos.

Stop.

Don’t take any photos!

Please stop.

No photos.

Stop.

Don’t take photos.

Stop taking photos.

Hey, we say no photos.

Stop taking photos!

Hey, grab some towel.

Quickly!

Go grab something, Jerry.

No photos!

Let’s take her to the infirmary.

Stop taking photos!

I said stop!

Does she have to wear something so revealing?

No photos.

Stop taking photos.

Excuse me.

Make way.

No photos.

What happened?

She passed out.

Alright.

Why don’t you go back out there?

I’ll handle things here.

Everything’s all good now, but we’re currently closed.

We’re sorry.

Really sorry.

Crap. What should we do?

People are posting Faye’s photos.

We can’t report all this.

Film, aren’t you good with computers?

Help Faye out.

I’m helping.

But the feed is just swamped right now.

Do you see it now?

Not only does changing things up doesn't help,

it causes us even more problems.

You said our costumes were too revealing.

Well, you didn’t do a much better job there, did you?

I didn’t want any of this to happen, you know?

But it did happen, Milin.

It doesn’t only hurt Faye’s image,

but it also hurts our major’s reputation.

It’s time now, and you couldn’t do what you promised.

We’re sticking to our agreement.

Everyone, go get changed.

We’re going back to our old concept.

But you can go, Milin.

Don’t come back here.

If I were you,

I’d turn around and apologize to everyone for causing so much trouble.

Look.

I…

I think this...

I don’t think Milin owes anyone an apology.

If you’re trying to blame her for coming up with this idea,

then you got the wrong girl.

This is my idea.

Milin only went along with me.

So it was you who did all this?

I get it.

Are you jealous that your friend’s prettier and people treat her better?

Were you trying to get back at her?

No.

I did all this because I hated how you treated us.

You told us to put something sexy on and said, “it sells.”

What do you think we are?

You people think too much.

It’s just what’s always been done.

Nobody ever had a problem with it before.

Yeah, it sure isn’t your problem

because you didn’t have to strip down for anyone to look and gawk.

But it is our problem.

Someone complains every year and you never listen.

Shut up, Da.

You’re only saying that because you never get to put something pretty on.

Well, no one can help you with that when you’re fat.

Watch it.

So what if I’m fat?

Did I freaking beg you to feed me?

You love calling people names and passing it off as a joke.

As if you’re on some pedestal and can criticize or rate anyone with numbers.

Would you want someone to rate you, too?

You want us to do that and follow it with, “Dude, we’re just joking! Learn to laugh!”

Hey.

Milin.

Yeah?

I literally quoted it from you.

Not so funny now when it’s your turn, is it?

From what I’ve been listening,

isn’t it kind of weird that you keep thinking we’re doing this because of jealousy?

You said Milin is jealous of you for getting to host this event,

and Da is jealous of other girls who get to play dress up?

But when it actually comes down to it,

don’t you see that, whenever there’s a problem,

it’s always us sorting things out on our own?

She’s right.

All you guys do is blame us.

What the hell do you want?

I’m just trying to maintain our major’s image.

Don’t you care about our reputation?

I think you should care more about us, not our major.

Liu.

That’s too much.

I don’t think Liu’s said anything wrong.

He’s right.

And I’m glad Liu brought this up.

Nobody should continue this tradition of yours next year.

I agree.

You told us to learn from you so we can host it next year.

The truth is… this makes me kind of uncomfortable.

Me, too.

It also makes me uncomfortable.

Hey, cool it.

Third, they have a point.

Don’t be a jerk about it, man.

It really was our fault this time.

And they outnumber us.

Just let this slide, dude.

Alright, guys.

Let’s all calm down.

I think Third’s got it now.

He just hates to lose face.

We actually made a killing this morning.

If we continue to help each other out,

in a way that we can all agree on,

then I’m sure we can even exceed last year’s sales.

So… let’s make Lab Bar fun for everyone.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay.

Are you in?

Well?

Fine.

We’ll do it.

We’ll be back in ten minutes.

Go get ready, guys.

Crap.

This is a masterpiece.

I’ve uploaded it.

Mork, why don’t you just change your major to Arts Comm?

You’re quick when it comes to this.

Am I?

Hello.

Welcome to Lab Bar, you guys.

We’ve got some fresh and new drinks that everyone will surely enjoy.

Just wait patiently for a moment. We’ll get to you soon.

Hello.

Welcome everyone to Lab Bar.

We’ve got some fresh and new drinks that everyone…

How are we doing with the sales, Milin?

I honestly don’t care about that anymore.

I just want us to do this the way we want.

So true.

We’re almost sold out.

Da and I can wrap things up on our own from here.

Why don’t you go and enjoy the event, Liu?

Maybe you have someone special you want to spend the night with?

There’ll be fireworks, too, you know?

It’s pretty romantic.

I don’t have anyone like that.

If you’re all good here, I’ll go see Faye and then return the mascot suits.

You can go take care of that.

I’ll go see Faye.

Okay.

You need some muscles?

Yeah. Let us help carry some stuff.

No need.

I’ll help her.

Like, only the two of you?

I got it.

Shall we?

Yeah.

Milin.

When is the firework show?

8PM.

What’s the rush, buddy?

Saint.

Have you been waiting?

Yes.

How are you feeling?

Any better?

Yeah, a little.

I didn’t think you’d be waiting.

That actually kind of makes me blush somehow.

Why wouldn’t I wait?

I have something I’d like to talk to you in private, Faye.

You do?

What is it?

Well…

Faye…

Why did you pretend to pass out?

What do you mean?

I thought what you said back in the office was weird.

And then I heard you refused to drink anything all day.

If you didn’t want to help your friends out, you could have just said so, you know?

Now you made everyone worry about you.

But well, never mind that.

Things turned out well in the end.

This confirms one more thing for me…

It was you who were messing with Mac back then, wasn’t it?

What are you saying?

I don’t understand.

Oh, I was right on the money.

Saint.

Don’t worry.

I’m not going to do anything for now.

I only waited for you to wake up to tell you that,

from now on,

Guy won’t be the only one keeping an eye on you.

I will as well.

Well, then.

That’s it.

Bye.

Will you thank Ms. Linda for lending us the aroma diffusers for me?

It’s nothing.

She’s been all about you lately, you know?

She’ll give you anything.

Well, then thank you for all the support.

You made a lot of things easier today.

I barely did anything.

It was all you guys.

You were all so brave for speaking your minds today,

especially you.

Hmm?

I just didn’t want Milin to take the blame for what was my idea.

But you encouraged her to fight again.

I think you should take credit when it’s due and accept the compliment.

I’d love to.

But I don’t think I deserve it.

Honestly, Third and the rest really made me see the worst in myself.

When they were choosing who to be the servers,

they chose based on how we look.

I used to do that, too.

I was the worst.

I only realized it was bad to put numbers on people when I got to experience it myself.

It was a wake-up call for me.

“What am I even doing,” you know?

Well, are you going to do that again?

No. Definitely not.

Then you should take the compliment.

You’ve learned to know what you don’t like,

and changed yourself into someone that you do.

Oh, then you deserve a compliment, too.

What for?

When you stopped Third today, you didn’t use your fist.

I see.

Take some credit for that, amazing guy.

I think we don’t need to hurry with returning the mascot and all that.

We can just take a walk around here until it’s 8…

Yes, Saint?

Is everything alright over there?

Yes. No problem at all.

No problem at all.

Well, where are you?

Where should we meet?

Are you coming to me?

Yes.

I’m currently at…

Hold on.

I’m currently at the booth called...

Welcome to Speed Date!

Why don’t you come on in?

[Let’s Prove the 8.2-Second Theory!]

Come on.

Join us.

Hurry up and sit down, please.

We’re really happy to have such a pretty girl join us tonight!

Shall we begin?

Alright, guys.

We’re here to prove the theory that says,

if you stare into each other’s eyes for 8.2 seconds,

you’ll fall in love with them.

If you feel like this is true, put your hands up.

If not, wait for the time to run out and then switch partners.

We’ve got a prize for the pairs that fall in love!

I think we’re short one person…

I don’t mind withdrawing.

I only happened to pass by...

The thing is, we barely get any participants all day, so help us out…

I think we’ve got one more hottie here!

How do you know when the game is over?

When you fall in love with each other, of course.

Well, let’s begin, shall we?

Wanna get out of here quickly?

Timer starts in three, two, one…

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

I like her.

Congratulations!

We’ve got a new couple!

Yeah!

Thanks.

Let’s go.

Wait, Guy, we have to return the mascots

and we have to meet up with Saint.

I have to call him back.

But you’re all drenched.

Why don’t you get changed over there?

I saw someone put a clean T-shirt there this morning.

I’ll… wait outside.

It’s stuck?

Milin was complaining the other day, too.

It’s okay.

I’ll call Ann.

Let me.

Uhh… You can change over there.

I’ll wait over there.

Hurry up, though.

Someone might get the wrong idea if they see us like this.

Don’t peek.

I won’t.

Actually what’s been going on lately

reminds me of something from my childhood.

You mean about Ms. Linda?

Yeah.

I tripped and fell once when I was a kid.

Dad told me,

“Boys should be strong. Don’t let anyone see you cry.”

What’s strange is that I took that to heart and stuck to it.

But now that I see Mom again,

I remember what happened afterwards.

Guy, baby.

What’s wrong?

Why are you holding it in?

Boys shouldn’t cry.

Who told you that?

Of course you can cry if you’re hurt, even if you’re a boy.

Cry when you’re in pain.

Boys can feel vulnerable, too.

Whatever your gender is, you can do anything.

Does that mean I can like perfumes like you, too?

Of course, baby.

Anyone can like perfumes.

There is nothing to stop anyone from any gender from liking something.

But Dad said...

Nobody gets to tell you what to like or what not to like.

Will you keep this in mind, baby?

Only you get to decide for yourself.

Mom…

It hurts.

Oh, it’s okay, baby.

You’ll be alright.

It’s okay.

Cry it out.

I don’t know why it just popped into my mind just now.

I never even thought about it before.

My heart was full of hatred and anger towards her.

But now that we’re reconciled,

all the good memories are starting to come back.

There must be so many other memories lost over the years.

I guess.

But I got these good ones back

because of you.

Thank you.

How many times are we going to say “thank you” tonight?

What else is there to say?

“Thank you” is right.

That means we did something good for each other.

You’re not wrong.

I have to thank you, too.

I know I thanked you for what happened at Lab Bar.

But I haven’t for Speed Date.

What do you mean?

You helped me out of the Speed Date booth.

You don’t have to thank me for that.

I do.

You don’t.

It’s no big deal.

You had to lie that you liked me to get me out of there, you know?

I wasn’t lying.

I meant what I said.

♪ I felt like the whole world ♪

♪ Was empty and lonely at first ♪

♪ What I’ve learned, what I’ve searched ♪

♪ Is right here, just within reach ♪

♪ But I was blind ♪

Hey. I think it’s over.

Maybe she just doesn’t know how to act around you.

You gotta hurry up and let her know you’re serious.

Let’s have lunch, Liu.

I know some interesting places.

That sounds great.

Should we all go together?

You know I’m trying to ask her out on a date.

Why are you in my way?

Because she’s got a date with me.

Two options for you:

One, back off.

Two, pick a dating spot that’s way better than the perfume museum.

Option two, all the way.
