VOLUME 10

I've had

a change of heart.

Could it be because you, the reader,

might have had a change of heart?

The book you have hasn't changed.

I'm pretty sure it's you who changed.

The heart of the reader

has changed.

How has it changed?

I wonder if Ms. Song has left.

It looks like she left.

My gosh, I'm sorry.

I was thinking about something else
for a second.

I guess I've been invisible all night,

from the restaurant to here.

His car is not here,
so they're probably not home right now.

But I don't know
whether they left together or not.

Thank you for walking me home.

Technically, we didn't walk together.

It was nice to even walk behind you

and I enjoyed the story about your book.

I've signed a contract with Gyeoroo,

so we'll see each other more often, right?

Then on that note,

let's high-five before we call it a night.

Finally, I got to hold your hand.

I'll see you tomorrow morning
at the bus stop.

Dan-i, do you remember

buying me a padded jacket
with your first paycheck?

Yes.

Why did you buy me that?

Isn't it obvious?

It was winter, and it was cold.

I'm sure other people were cold as well
because it was winter.

So why me?

This isn't a good idea.

If I give him this,
he'll ask the same question.

"Why did you buy this shirt for me?"

Good work.

-Thank you for all your hard work.
-Thank you.

Let's eat.

-Let's dig in
-Dumplings, overcooked dumplings

Let's eat.

Why aren't you eating?

She's not eating
because these are overcooked dumplings.

Why?

Why do I have to eat overcooked dumplings?

Why do you only give me
overcooked dumplings?

You do this every single time.

I'm your only child.

Why do you always give me
leftover overcooked dumplings?

Why?

This is why...

I get rejected by guys all the time.

It's because you only give me
overcooked dumplings.

Did the chief editor reject you?

He doesn't like you? What's his problem?
Why doesn't he like you?

I...

I really hate overcooked dumplings.

Does he think he's better
than everyone else?

-He's tall, but that's about it.
-Hae-rin is tall too!

Being handsome is useless.

Hae-rin is good-looking too!

-Gosh.
-That prick, I must teach him a lesson.

-Jeez.
-Way to go!

We've given him tons of kimchi.

-Honey--
-Let go.

-It's cold.
-How dare he

reject my daughter?
How could he reject my precious daughter?

Hae-rin, stop crying.

I promise I'll get back at him for you.

Honey, you have to help me.

He's dead meat.

And don't give her
overcooked dumplings from now on.

Give her only the perfectly cooked ones!

Jeez.

It's okay. They still taste good.

Eun-ho.

What's gotten into you?

What are you thinking?

Hey, what's going on?
Why is your phone off?

It's past 2 a.m. Why aren't you home yet?

What's up with the necklace
and the flowers?

Are you going to keep confusing me?

Come home now and explain.

I didn't touch them. They are in
my room just how you left them.

I said we should just get a taxi.

You said you're penniless.

Yes, I am.
You must have some cash on you though.

Yes, I do. I have cash in my wallet.

But that doesn't mean I can just spend it.

Our next payday is still a long way ahead.

The first bus will be here in ten minutes.

You have no idea how awesome it feels
to be on the first bus of the day.

Should I just call my mom and tell her
that I'll go on the blind date?

No!

You must not give in!

What's our company motto?

-Gyeoroo.
-Gyeoroo.

-Never slow down and keep going.
-Never slow down and keep going.

It's so cold.

I see the bus! The bus is here.

The bus! It's here!

Hello.

Are you going to sit there?

For two people, please.

Payment has been processed.

It's so warm here.

By the way,
are buses usually full at this hour?

It's not easy to make ends meet.

-Hello.
-Good morning, Dan-i.

Last night,

Eun-ho didn't come home.

Contusions are nothing serious.

It's such a relief that
he does not have any fractures.

Right.

It's not like
this is the first time this happened.

My friend here would be
very proud of the fact that he taught you.

You're better than his children.

DAN-I

Are you not coming to work or what?

Oh, my.

-Hello, Mr. Bong.
-You're here early.

Where can we keep all the letters
from Mr. Kang's fans?

I've been holding onto them,
but they keep piling up.

Oh, I guess no one has told you.

You'll find a box for them

in the second meeting room.

-Thank you.
-No problem.

Take it easy.

So many readers are waiting
for Mr. Kang's next book.

CHIEF EDITOR CHA

What's this?

Mr. Cha isn't coming to work?

But I need him today.

We're going to a conference together
in the afternoon.

He didn't even call?

-No.
-Then,

who wrote this?

Mr. Kim did, earlier today.

He came in and wrote that,
then he left right away.

What is going on? Gosh, these people.

CHIEF EDITOR CHA
TENDING TO PERSONAL MATTERS

Back when I had to look after my wife
because she was ill,

she said this

out of the blue after waking up one day.

"I can put my worries to rest and sleep
because I know you're by my side."

He probably feels the same way.

Because you're by his side,

he can put his worries to rest
and sleep soundly.

Why didn't you come to work today?
What's going on?

What's this "personal matter"
that I don't know about?

DAN-I

Mr. Kim makes
so many exceptions for Mr. Cha.

A big percentage of our sales

is from his books, you know.

That's why
Mr. Kim can't say anything to him.

All right, everyone!
The meeting will begin in five minutes.

Ms. Seo, Hoon isn't here yet.

Our new hire isn't here yet either.

She really should just quit.

I know Hoon went to help her
with the stickers last night.

Then it's obvious.

I'm speaking from my own experience.

After putting the stickers on all the
books, they must've taken the first bus.

Then they must've gone to
a sauna near here

to get some sleep before coming in.

I bet they couldn't get up on time.

Back in the day, we also...

Both of you must have the same experience.

Shall I try calling them?

Let them sleep a bit more.

We'll be late for the meeting.

I'll go bring Ms. Go.

My, this is more ingenious
than sleeping at the sauna.

Well, we now at least know
that they're here.

So technically they're not late, right?

What should we do?
Should we use the meeting room downstairs?

That won't be necessary.

Hae-rin.

You got Ms. Yu's manuscript from
Mr. Cha, right?

-The one you're proofreading with Mr. Cha.
-Yes, I did.

I must say,

Mr. Cha truly amazes me.

I read it twice,

and I stayed up all night last night
to read it once more.

And?

I didn't catch a single typo.

Then should I, the editing expert,
have a look at it now?

Pass it over. I'll check--

It's okay. They proofread it together,
so it should be good.

Still, I have more experience,
so I should--

Your eyes will hurt,

and it'll delay the release date.

-Okay.
-Hae-rin.

What's going on with Ji Seo-jun?

I got him to sign the contract yesterday

for five books.

My, that's great!

Ji Seo-jun will design Ms. Yu's book.
That's awesome.

All right. Then do we just have to
get ready for the public reading now?

Is that all we have to do?

I can't believe
they're sleeping through this.

Are we organizing a public reading

as Ms. Yu's book launch event?

Yes, those of us on Marketing Team

are thinking of inviting about 50 guests.

Sounds good.
Let's proceed with that plan, then.

That's it for this meeting.

Okay!

-The meeting is over.
-It's over.

They must be very tired.

Wake up already. Ms. Go has left the room.

Ji-yul, I know that you're already awake.

I'm sorry, everyone.

I almost passed out
because my heart was pounding like crazy.

-Good luck, guys.
-Thank you.

You look so ugly right now.

Your hair looks so messy.

Ms. Seo.

-Yes?
-About the public reading event...

How about we invite
an acoustic guitarist for it?

That's a good idea.

Like an intimate book concert, right?

I think it's great. Go find a guitarist.

Sure, I'll look into it.

Friend.

Friend.

Then can you help me organize the event?

Yes? Amazing.

"Friend"?

Just after hanging out once? How easy.

Do you have no friends?

That's right. I have no one.

No friends, no boyfriend, and no family.

Would you like the contact information
for the Center for Separated Families?

No, I don't need that.

Well...

Yes, I'm listening.

What should I have for lunch?

Are you looking for a restaurant
where you can dine alone?

Yes, by myself.

All by myself.

MY HEART IS DRAWN TO YOU

"But suddenly,

the wind blows again from somewhere.

The sound of the sandstorm
reaches the branches up high.

And with that, my heart flutters.

That means

I miss someone I left behind.

The desire to love someone again

is making my heart throb.

Dream.

And yearn.

Love deeply and lastingly.

We sleep, rest,

and dwell in our momentary joy

to recharge ourselves

so that we can return

to the world full of pain,

so that we can have new dreams.

Yearn for new things,

and love once again

deeply and lastingly."

MY HEART IS DRAWN TO YOU

You're not coming to work again?

Why aren't you picking up? I'm worried.

"But...

-I still loved you.
-Everything's okay, right?

I enjoyed every moment.

We broke up.

I was grateful.

Because you left me,

I could learn to love myself more."

Eun-ho...

hasn't come home for three days now.

Are you friends with any cops?

I should file a missing persons report

and find him.

Did you just cry?

No, I didn't.

Which part made you cry? Let me see.

Gosh, I said I didn't cry.

It's wet.

Right.

This part made me very sad as well.

But even so,

I can't believe you cried.
I mean, you're a guy.

Are guys not allowed to cry or what?

Then you'll cry your eyes out soon.

It gets even sadder.

I won't cry that much.

Are you really going to be like this?

How could you ignore every message I send?

Is it that hard to text me back?

When you come home, I'm going to kill you.

Hey, Cha Eun-ho.

Eun-ho.

Eun-ho.

Eun-ho.

If you're alive, just send me
an exclamation mark to let me know.

Please, I beg you.

EUN-HO

EUN-HO

I'm alive.

I guess you miss me a lot.

I'll come home
if you tell me you missed me.

Gosh, this brat.

I came back home an hour ago.

Don't run home even if you miss me.
Take your time.

I'll teach you a serious lesson today.

Hey, Eun-ho!

I guess you forgot
how powerful my punch is.

Do you have any idea how worried I was?

He's sleeping.

How could you sleep right now?
After making me worry so much.

As if nothing happened.

I wonder if he ate dinner.

Hey, what's going on?

What's wrong with you?

Dan-i.

I'm okay.

No, you're not okay. You're burning up.

Gosh, what should I do?

Where did you put the medicine kit?

I think I saw it here earlier.

Oh, it's here.

Where's the fever reducer? Here it is.

All right.

Here.

Your temperature is 39°C! You should've
gone to a hospital. When did you get sick?

Where were you in this state?

I can't believe you drove
when you were burning up.

Where were you?

Where did you sleep?

Why didn't you come home?

Did you miss me?

You could've at least texted me.

I was worried.
You even turned your phone off.

You waited for me, didn't you?

Well, you weren't coming home.

Don't you have anything to say to me?

I have a lot to say to you.

But not right now.

You're sick.

I'm relieved that I'm sick.

I was scared that you'd make a huge fuss

once you saw the necklace.

I'll make some soup for you.

Stay here

for a little while

until I fall back asleep.

Wash your hands before eating.
You should take another fever reducer.

Did you try on

the necklace?

Do you

like me?

My answer is no. Are we good now?

You said you didn't like me.

I figured you'd be better off not knowing.

When did you start to like me?

I don't know. Why don't you guess?

I don't know when I started

to like you.

From spring to summer.

From summer to fall.

And from fall to winter.

Do you know when the season changes?

Do you know exactly when winter ends
and spring begins?

I don't know when exactly
my feelings for you

started to grow.

-Eun-ho.
-See?

This is why I didn't want to tell you.

Then

you should've just continued
to keep it to yourself.

How was I supposed to hide it

when you kept asking me?

What kind of person do you think I am?

I had my back to the wall,

so I couldn't keep lying to you.

But

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm just going to give you that necklace.

That's something I've always been doing.

Whenever I saw something nice,
I wanted to give it to you.

And I always did.

I always got you gifts,

and you always accepted them.

So just take the necklace.

But back then, I didn't know
how you felt about me.

Dan-i, wait.

I'm sick.

You checked my fever yourself.

So just listen to me today.

Yes.

I like you.

But I don't intend to
force my feelings upon you.

So you can keep doing what you want

just like you always have done.

You can date Seo-jun if you want.

There's no need for you to change.

Then what about you?

What are you going to do?

Are you worried that I might suffer
and be lonely?

I never once suffered

because of you.

I worked, gave lectures,

and wrote books. I was always busy.

And as you already know,
I dated a few women too.

My feelings for you
aren't sad and heartbreaking.

Why would I risk my life for love?

I took it easy.

So

don't think of it too seriously.

I'm tired.

I need to sleep.

Please clean this up for me.

Of all the women he could like,
why does he like me?

Hey, Hae-rin.

You picked up.

You actually picked up.

I can't believe you actually answered

my phone call.

You bastard.

I guess you answered my call

because you've dumped me
and officially made it clear

that I'm just your colleague at work.

I'm so dumbfounded.

CAMELLIA

Geum-bi, wait.

You never answered my calls.

And you never replied

to the texts I sent you after work.

You bastard.

But...

Now you're answering my calls.

Gosh, I'm really speechless. I really am.

You're right.

I am a bastard, aren't I?

Where are you?

I'm never going to tell you.

If you come here and try to comfort me,

I'll just kill you and go to jail.

Did you drink?

Are you with anyone?

I hope you are.

I used to have someone

by my side.

Whenever I got dumped,

there was a guy who always comforted me.

You should look for another guy now.

I can't be the one to console you anymore

since I turned you down.

I am worried about you.

But I'm sure you did just fine
during the few days

I wasn't at the office.

And I'm sure you also did
a great job at work.

And tomorrow, you'll come to work
looking just fine.

Yes, you're right.

No one at the office knows
that I got dumped by a guy.

I got my work done diligently
and perfectly.

I made sure your absence
didn't affect anyone at work.

That's how great of a woman I am.

You're going to regret

rejecting me forever! Bye!

Can you see me?

Of course, I can see you.

As you can see,

I can't go in there
because I'm with my dog right now.

Do you need a friend?

If you do,

I can take my dog back home and come back.

No, that's okay. You know
we have a meeting tomorrow, right?

Yes, of course.

But why here?

Why are you crying in my neighborhood?

Are people not allowed

to cry in this neighborhood
if they don't live here?

Do you own the entire neighborhood?

Well, no. Not exactly.

I'm hanging up.
I'll see you at the meeting tomorrow.

JI SEO-JUN

I don't know what happened,

but don't cry.

And call me
if you need someone to talk to.

Come in.

We finished putting stickers on
all the copies of The Universe of Yours.

Thank you.

Will this go on sale today?

Yes, the warehouse
sent the copies to the bookstores

after they did a final check.

Okay.

AUTHOR KANG GYEONG-JU

FROM 1998 TO 2006,
HE WORKED AS A PHYSICIST

AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS
AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE US

I can't believe Hae-rin actually
put stickers on the books.

She must've felt really upset.

AUTHOR KANG GYEONG-JU

It looks good as new.

Ji-yul.

Come with me.

Dan-i, do you have any medicine?

Do you have an anxiety pill or something
that can help me calm down?

I'm sure she won't kill you.

I'm glad that
I'm Hae-rin's senior colleague.

Damn it.

Who has ointment?

Do you have a Band-Aid?

For God's sake,
it's just a tiny paper cut.

But I'm bleeding.

Just suck on it and it'll stop.

Who would do that?

-I have one, Mr. Bong.
-Really?

The cut is pretty deep.

Oh, dear. We should call an ambulance.

-Here you go.
-Thanks.

You must cut your hands often.

We touch paper all the time,

so it happens often.

Ask me anytime.
I always carry around some.

My heels hurt all the time too.

Ji-yul.

Listen to me carefully.

My parents own a dumpling restaurant.

-Sorry?
-My parents sell dumplings.

They've been at it for 20 years,

but some of them still get overcooked.

They never serve them to customers.

Instead, they give it to me. Why?

Because it's a cardinal rule

to only serve products that are

decent and presentable.

However, this book...

I worked my ass off for a year

and even worked on weekends
to publish this book.

But it's about to be sold
in a horrific state.

Every book will be covered with a sticker.

Hae-rin.

Get ready for the meeting with Mr. Ji.

Ji-yul, have a seat.

I'm sorry, Mr. Cha.

Ji-yul,

does it seem unfair?

Yes, a little bit.

Anyone can make mistakes, right?

You're right.

All editors leave typos.

No book is perfect in that sense.

However, all editors

feel ashamed of it.

They don't think it's unfair.

Read and summarize the books on the list.

You have one week.

What?

RECOMMENDED BOOKS

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN EDITOR
THE BASICS OF EDITING

Now you probably know
how tough the work here is.

Still, dozens apply for a job every year

because they like books.

All they want to do
is publish decent books.

Ji-yul, a lot of other applicants
would kill to be where you are right now.

If you don't care about books,
then start studying.

The copyright page is also on the back.

Many names are written there.

They are the ones who made that book.

A year or maybe two.

Sometimes, it takes even longer.

AUTHOR KANG GYEONG-JU

Many names are even excluded.

All those people do their best
to publish one single book.

However, the readers will be disappointed

when they open the book.

Because it's from a company
that got the author's bio wrong.

You should think this over.

Ask yourself why you're working here,

and why you applied for this job.

Seriously?

Another typo?

I've already read this five times.
How can there be more?

Mr. Bong!

The deadline is in seven days.

Okay, I got it.

Stop rushing me.

I'll read it once again.

-This is killing me.
-Song-i.

-Yes?
-Which paper do you think is better

for the cover of Ms. Yu's book?

I can't tell the difference.

This is called snow white
while this is art paper.

Snow white works best

for Ms. Yu's books

because they're simple.

However, the colorful art paper
is a good choice

to captivate young readers.

-How about Mont Blanc then?
-Ms. Seo.

While gathering articles online,

I came across some great blogs.

Good job.

What should we do about Hae-rin's mistake?

Why don't we meet them?

We'll have to throw in some free gifts,
sell them all, and print a second batch.

Free gifts will put us in the red.

Gosh, we have a long way to go.

What can we do though?

You know how many times Hae-rin

went to the National Assembly Library.

She researched every section
and revised the manuscript.

We'll print a new batch

and send the new books
to Hae-rin and Professor Kang.

Okay. Talk it over with the owner of
the online bookstore then.

What is it?

Mr. Park, I've been
looking all over for you.

Well, we're just...

Mr. Park,
I'm a little disappointed in you.

Our books are placed too far in the back.

It's a book we're pushing at the moment.

Can you display our books here?

You always say the same thing.

They all feel like my children, you know.

However,

this one is like my dearest child.

Please, Mr. Park.

Okay, fine.

You're the best.

Gosh, he's so handsome.

You can tell he's handsome
even from a distance.

ATTITUDES THAT BOOK EDITORS MUST HAVE

I'm here to see Ms. Song Hae-rin.

Oh, Ms. Song?
The Editorial Team is over there.

Are you here? Hold on a second.

Can I help you?

Well, I...

Mr. Ji!

-You're here.
-Hello.

-Mr. Ji?
-Yes, Mr. Ji Seo-jun.

My gosh.

-Goodness.
-Hello.

Hello, I'll be designing
the cover of Ms. Yu's book.

I'm Ji Seo-jun.

I hope we get along well.

-Welcome!
-Here.

This'll be my bribe.

-Gosh.
-He's handsome and thoughtful.

-Thank you.
-Thanks.

Where does Dan-i sit?

Wait, do you know Dan-i?

-Yes, but she's not here.
-He knows her?

How does he know her?

She sits over there.

I see.

-Hello.
-Hi.

He's so cool.

This is for Dan-i.

-Enjoy.
-Thank you.

Thank you for the coffee.

He's so annoying.

I was surprised to hear you had quit.

You seemed so passionate, so I assumed

you'd continue working.

I like what I do now too.

I've never held a book concert before.

How exactly is it done?

Hold on a second.

Please keep an open mind.

I see it pays a lot.

Actually, that's the venue rental fee.

The selling point of
Ms. Yu's new book is that

the narration is alluring
and sophisticated like a classic.

That's why we expanded
its target to young readers.

We want the book design
to embody those elements,

so a sensuous cover--

I don't like that idea.

I haven't finished talking yet.

What you told me said enough.

You want a sensuous yet

a warm and friendly illustration.

Am I right?

See? They're bad and boring.

-So...
-She's here.

I'm back.

Right.

-This--
-Ji Seo-jun bought that.

He's in a meeting right now

with Ms. Song and Mr. Cha.

Do you know him?

He's so handsome.

He brought yours separately

and placed it on your desk.

Exactly.

He's very handsome.

-Exactly.
-I knew it.

Women only care about looks.

I hear that he's a freak.

No way.

Who said that?

My friend works at Wolmyeong.

He told me that everyone there meditated

five minutes before going into
a meeting with him.

Why? Because he'd annoy the shit

out of everyone
regardless of which team you are on.

Guess what people there called him.

Mr. Pretentious.

"Mr. Pretentious"?

Who cares when he's that good looking?

He's not though.

Mr. Ji, we're not making books
for fun, you know.

Work should also be fun.

Check out the bookstore.
Eight out of ten novels

have this cover design.

Isn't it boring?

Then what kind of fun design
do you have in mind?

I was thinking of using
an Oriental painting.

-An Oriental painting?
-What?

Mr. Ji.

Have you even read my editorial proposal?

You must think that Oriental paintings

aren't sophisticated
and too old-fashioned.

I'm speaking from a general perspective.

Is that so?

Must Gyeoroo not take any risks then?

But Mr. Ji--

Hold on.

You do know that
this is our first meeting, right?

You're supposed to warm up
and exchange ideas.

Less arguing and more discussing.

Even after reading your proposal,

I still think
an Oriental painting would fit.

I think it's much better than
the common book covers we see every day.

The cover is the face of a book.

Also, I think it's best to make
Ms. Yu's book seem

classy rather than friendly.

Yes, the personality of the book
is important.

But why must it be an Oriental painting?

She's not a young writer,
so to have an old-fashioned cover--

I don't get why
you consider Oriental paintings

to be old-fashioned.

What if it were a Western painting?

What?

Ms. Song.

I understand what you're saying,

but Ms. Yu wouldn't have asked for me

if she wanted a common design.

You shouldn't have signed with me either.

I guess you don't know much about me.

I'm a risk taker, not a coward.

What? Coward?

Are you saying that I'm a coward?

Hae-rin.

I hear you loud and clear, Mr. Ji.

We'll end our first meeting then.

Carrying on will only be a waste of time.

I'll call you back
after doing some research on

the sophisticated image of
Oriental paintings

or whatever it was you were talking about.

Mr. Cha,

I think it'll take a while
to decide on a cover design.

The new designer we're working with

is an absolute freak.

You should've heard how rude he was.

I nearly exploded in the first meeting.

Sure. I'll keep that in mind.

Is she the only editor who works here?

No, we have many other editors.

The one I'm working with
seems to have a temper.

How are we supposed to work together?

I never even got to show you what I found.

Are these Oriental paintings?

Just wait for it. Ms. Song will come out

looking all exhausted
with bags under her eyes.

He's not that kind of guy.

-Is he not?
-What?

-Is he not?
-Really?

Are you being jealous?

Why would I be jealous?

You men can be so childish.

Just say that you envy him.

That's not it.

Are these Oriental paintings?

Yes, the contemporary kind.

They're by Korean artists
who are active right now.

These are nice.

These are really nice.

You're quick to change your mind.

It's nice, that's all.

There's no need to pretend otherwise.

That doesn't mean my proposal was wrong.

I'm just agreeing with you
because what you brought is better.

Why didn't you show it to me sooner?

Then I would've been on board.

So...

Are there any more samples?

Here you go.

We'll look at this later.

Let's talk about these first.

I really like this one.

This is perfect for Ms. Yu's book.

These are amazing.

Dan-i.

You must be getting off work soon.
How about we grab some dinner?

Wait up, Mr. Ji.

Let's have dinner together to celebrate
our first meeting. With Ms. Song.

Dinner? All of a sudden?

Yes, I had that in mind from the start.

Didn't you say
we'll meet at the next meeting?

That's why I'm asking you now
to have a meal with me and Hae-rin.

But I was going to...

I'm okay.

Why don't we all have a meal together?

Dan-i should join us.

Gosh, this place is so pretty.

The ambience is great.

Right?

Take a seat.

I didn't know
you also live in this neighborhood.

Does this restaurant only have one table?

Yes.

Where is the owner?

I don't see a menu.

I'm going to cook today.

I rented the restaurant for a day.

I told you I took cooking classes here.

I'll cook today

to review what I learned
and to serve a nice meal for my friend.

You like food with warm broth.

That's why you like udon too.

Today's dish is...

Is that nabe? That looks delicious.

Yes. I knew you would like it.

Are we drinking sake too?

Yes. I prepared it because Dan-i likes it.

I prepared this as a side dish.

Do you have beer?

Help yourself.

What's going on between you two?

Are you two

dating?

-No.
-No.

Why is she saying such nonsense?

Not yet.

"Not yet"?

No, not yet.

I just have a crush on Dan-i.

Then the person

you texted on that snowy day was

Dan-i.

Yes, that's right.

Dan-i was busy working on
Ms. Yu's manuscript that day.

I was with Ms. Song when it snowed.

We both texted someone that day.
You didn't answer my text.

And the person she texted...

Oh, right.

What happened to the person
you texted that day?

He doesn't like me.

I had a feeling. At the meeting...

What? What is it?

Was it because of your temper?

Or are you bad-tempered
because you were dumped?

I was kidding.

I don't know when I started

to like you.

From spring to summer.

From summer to fall.

And from fall to winter.

Do you know when the seasons change?

Do you know exactly when winter ends
and spring begins?

I don't know when exactly
my feelings for you

started to grow.

How could a guy not like you, Ms. Song?

I like that fiery temper of yours.

Exactly. That's my point.

That's my charm.

Forget about that guy.

I already dumped him in the
neighborhood trashcan where he belongs.

Why did you dump him in my neighborhood?

Are you okay?

-Yes, I'm fine.
-Oh, no.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay. It's just a small cut.

Where is the pharmacy?
I'll go buy some Band-Aids.

No, I'm okay. The cut is not deep.

Ask me anytime.
I always carry around some.

My heels hurt all the time too.

It's a small cut. I'm fine.

-Are you sure you're okay?
-Yes.

Go sit down.

Dan-i

didn't take out the Band-Aids
from her bag.

This is my second dish.

That looks great.

Thank you for the meal.

Let me try one.

-Is it good?
-It's so good.

It's good?

-Eat a lot, Dan-i.
-Okay.

-It's salty.
-It's salty?

Yes.

Why is it salty?

-Isn't it salty?
-No, this is delicious.

She says it's delicious.

I see.

-It's good.
-Right?

I guess it's good.

I really enjoyed the meal.

Same here.

I'll see you at the next meeting.

Okay. I can walk Dan-i home.

Should I walk you home, Eun-ho?

That's okay.
I'll walk you to the taxi stop.

-Get home safe.
-You too.

Get home safe.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Isn't it better to tell everyone?

That you're living with Mr. Cha.

Do you remember the time Ms. Song
came to his house unannounced?

It must be hard for you.

Yes, it is,

but if we tell them we live together,

we'll also have to tell them
we've known each other for a long time.

It will be uncomfortable.

Plus, at work, Eun-ho is my superior.

I can understand that too.

I had it in my bag,

but I forgot that I had it earlier.

Actually,

Eun-ho was on my mind.

It's a small cut, so I'm fine.

Thank you.

Did you have fun on your date?

Are you being sarcastic?

We didn't walk together for that long.

Are you giving me an excuse?

I guess I was on your mind.

You told me to see Seo-jun.

You told me not to care about
your feelings, and do whatever I want.

So were you sad about that?

Who said I was sad?

If it bothers you, then let it.

Whenever you see me,
make sure you remember this.

"Cha Eun-ho likes me."

-Stop being cheeky.
-Why didn't you give him a Band-Aid?

When Ji Seo-jun got a cut,

you had Band-Aids in your bag.

I forgot.

I forgot that I had one in my bag.

Not possible.

I really did.

I just forgot.

Why are you smiling?

Dan-i.

You know what?

There are days like today
from time to time.

When it's hard to hold back.

What can't you hold back?

There are days when I think to myself,

"I should hold back.

I should hold back."

So what are you holding back?

What are you--

This.

I THINK ABOUT THE WORD "PROMISE"

AND WHAT THAT WORD REALLY MEANS

LOVING OTHERS COMPLETES US

THAT'S WHY WE ARE BEAUTIFUL

WHEN HE HELD MY HAND,
I THOUGHT OF EUN-HO AND HIS WARMTH

WHERE DOES MY HEART LIE?

WHEN I TOLD HIM I WOULD FIND HIM, HE SAID,
"THERE'S NO NEED. I'LL COME BACK TO YOU."

HE USED TO SEND ME POSTCARDS FROM OVERSEAS
AND THOSE POSTCARDS GAVE ME GREAT COMFORT

THE WORLD IS EVER-CHANGING
AND SO IS OUR LIFE

OUR LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES

WHEN YOU KISS SOMEONE, EVERYTHING BECOMES
QUIET AND A SECOND FEELS LIKE FOREVER

ROMANCE IS A BONUS BOOK

I don't see you as a man.

Dan-i.

Go to the bathroom.

Say, "Eun-ho, please clean the bathroom."

You haven't been beaten enough, have you?

I can see myself in your eyes.

Did you get dumped
because you're a workaholic?

Or have you become a workaholic
because you got dumped?

Just because I fell asleep
on his shoulders,

doesn't mean I love him.

This young pollack
keeps looking at this cuttlefish.

They live in the same house...

Am I still like a brother to you?

Give me some ideas.

Give me some ideas.

You like me.
