SPICE UP OUR LOVE

How about we do the ending scene after all?

The ending scene?

Wait!

I… I don't think I'm ready yet.

- But I'm totally ready. - [gasps]

[sighs]

I guess I can do this with drunk women, but I really can't with sick women.

I'll do everything you want.

But for the time being,

let's forget about it.

I don't mind.

[person clears throat]

[gasps]

Yeo… Yeo Ha-jun?

It's Kang Ha-jun.

Secretary Kim, you can't just show up without notice.

I must have a good reason to visit the boss's house, right?

Still, how can a secretary--

Please wait, wait. Just wait. Time out.

Are you telling me… Are you telling me you're Yeo Ha-jun?

And that he's your assistant?

- You don't recall Mr. Kim? - [Mr. Kim] I doubt you don't remember me,

Miss Seo Yeon-seo.

- Can't you see? - So you're saying

that you are really, actually…

I'm Kim Do-gyeom, really.

[Do-gyeom] Yeon-seo, you know the employees don't eat your sausages, right?

People get sick of eating the same thing every week…

[sighs]

…but I endured it for a whole year.

- [exclaims] - Huh?

[inhales sharply] There's no way.

My Yeo Ha-jun.

My Mr. Kang.

Yeon-seo, it's me.

[scoffs]

[Ha-jun] So is it urgent?

[sighs] Why else would I be standing here in this awkward situation, hmm?

Then you deal with it!

Mr. Kang, I came here because it cannot wait.

- So please-- - Why are you still standing there

if it's not an emergency?

I have something very urgent that I need to tend to.

Miss Seo Yeon-seo. Let's go to the hospital.

This can't be.

You're not Do-gyeom.

You're just not. You can't be, got it?

[exclaims]

Seducing Mr. Kang wasn't enough,

now you're pretending to be delirious?

You obviously have quite the dedication though,

Seo Yeon-seo.

Stop the car, will you? I don't need to go to a hospital.

- I'm perfectly fine. - [sighs]

Do you know how startled I was just now? I really thought

- something was terribly wrong with you-- - I'm perfectly fine.

But you are not, Mr. Troll.

What?

I'm pretty sure that troll's name was Bok Gyu-hyun.

[horn blares]

That man must have died in the real world.

Now I'm being punished for causing his death somehow.

What punishment?

Bok Gyu-hyun, the online troll, is Kang Ha-jun,

and my Yeo Ha-jun is Kim Do-gyeom.

In my book, this is a living nightmare.

Wait.

Me being Kang Ha-jun is

punishment and a nightmare for you?

So,

who the hell is Yeo Ha-jun then?

He's my first love.

I wrote Spice Up Our Love thinking about Yeo Ha-jun.

That's why I used the name "Ha-jun."

But now, I'm stuck in Seo Yeon-seo's body,

and my Yeo Ha-jun is Kim Do-gyeom of all people.

So, it turns out the man who trolled you on the online forum is… is me.

Is that right?

You don't believe me, do you?

I do.

Your word is law, Miss Seo, in my book.

- You mean that? - Of course.

Hey! You said my word was law.

[panting] How is this law?

You bastard,

- just you wait until I'm out of here. - [sobbing]

You'll break character and face the most horrendous situations!

And I'll make your life a living hell!

Will Miss Yeon-seo be okay, Doctor?

[Yeon-seo] Kang Ha-jun!

[sighs]

[Yeon-seo] I'll make your life a living hell!

What did Director Oh say?

Thank God, there's no issue with your brain at all,

and your memories are intact too.

See? I told you I was perfectly fine, you idiot.

You still don't believe me, do you?

I believe you.

Except for the web novel and Internet troll?

[sighs]

- Where are you going? - To my freaking house.

- Do you even have money, Miss Seo? - [gasps]

[sighs]

[sighs]

How can I act out a happy ending with the online troll

while my first love remains in the picture?

[gasps] I have to get out of this world.

I need to figure out how to escape from this reality though. [huffs]

[sighs]

[driver] We've arrived.

Sir, this isn't the right…

Huh? You're the manager… I mean,

Director Oh? No, the bus driver?

A bus driver? No. A taxi driver? Yes.

Please go. This is where we are in this chapter.

"In this chapter"?

This chapter's ending scene.

The chapter's "ending scene"?

- [knocks] - Hello, is anyone there?

Anyone?

- Anyone! - [gasps]

Look, multirole character,

- if you know something, please tell me… - [horn honking]

…what is it…

Aren't you getting out?

[Yeon-seo] I must be the only person in the world

who comes to work to get locked up in the freezer room.

[sighs]

- I can't even change the last scene. - [Ha-jun] Hi, everyone.

- [employee 1, 2] Hello, sir. - [employee 3] How are you, sir?

- [employee 4] Hi, good to see you. - [employee 5] Hello, sir.

[Yeon-seo] Look at that man.

Ah, he's so pretty.

Mmm. [giggles]

I thought you were going home.

Did you miss me already?

Absolutely not.

I think you did.

[voice] Yes.

What the hell?

[employee 6] Hello, Mr. Kang.

Whenever they serve pork cutlets at the cafeteria,

- something good always happens. - [elevator bell dings]

SPICE UP OUR LOVE, EPISODE 102

PORK. CUTLET. THAT WAS A SECRET LANGUAGE

ON THE DAYS PORK CUTLETS WERE SERVED,

I WAITED FOR HER IN OUR SPACE

AND WE SPENT A NIGHT SO HOT WE COULD FLOAT IN THE HEAT

IT WAS OUR EXPRESS TRAIN TO HEAVEN

[exhales, groans]

[inhales sharply] Enjoy your food, Mr. Kim.

Hmm.

[stammers, chuckles] Oh.

Miss Seo is just silly.

An "X" in the break room.

An "X" means…

Mr. Kim. You know what this "X" means, right?

Jerk, asshole, bastard.

How unprofessional of you.

This "X" means…

a kiss.

Whoa, whoa. Whoa!

Enjoy your meal.

[sighs] Kiss.

[Do-gyeom grunts]

Are you out of your damn mind?

This morning, you pretended not to know me in front of Mr. Kang.

Then, at lunch, you flirted with me in front of him.

Oh, no, no. It's not at all what you think.

I'm just happy to see you here, and I know how much you like your pork cutlets.

Why don't you just tell him that we used to be together?

You're just trying to mess with my head.

The pot calling the kettle black.

[sighs]

Tell me, are you just using me to make Mr. Kang jealous? Is that it?

Why? Is he getting sick of you as well?

Then again, why would Mr. Kang think you're good enough?

Don't try too hard, Seo Yeon-seo.

Before you know it, he'll be done with you.

After all, you're just a plaything for Mr. Kang.

Kim Do-gyeom, you're…

cute even when you're being mean as hell.

- [grunts] - You look like my Ha-jun, after all.

I wish you were the male lead instead.

[gasps] What if I made you regret letting the girl go?

The male lead loses the girl to many side characters.

[Do-gyeom] Whoa.

Are you saying you want to get back with me now?

- [baby giggles] - [Yeon-seo chuckles]

[scoffs]

Listen.

If I was chewing gum and spat it out,

then someone else chewed it and spat it out,

why would I want it again?

Huh?

Yeon-seo, me and Mr. Kang chewed you like gum.

Nothing less and nothing more. You should know your--

- [Ha-jun grunts] - [Yeon-seo exclaims]

What on earth are you doing?

Ha-jun. Are you all right?

I'm Ha-jun!

I'm the man who loves you deeply. I'm the man you love.

Me, Kang Ha-jun.

The truth is,

I am not all right at all.

Seo Yeon-seo.

All because of you.

Kang… Kang Ha-jun, I…

[Do-gyeom grunts]

[sighs]

Damn it.

Ha-jun.

Ha-jun, you said? Are you calling me by my name?

Yeah. The person holding my hand,

- Kang Ha-jun. - [gasps]

You're really hurting my hand.

[Ha-jun] Oh.

I'm sorry. Are you okay, Miss Seo?

Listen, don't be so harsh with Do-gyeom, if you could.

Miss Yeon-seo, he was very mean to you,

- but you're just-- - Do-gyeom acts like that

only because he is the villain in this novel.

- [sighs] - I portrayed him in the story

- as a complete and utter jerk. - [groans]

You're going on about that novel again. [sighs]

You're wealthy, you're very outspoken, and also a hypersexual man.

Is that good?

Hyper? You don't like that, do you?

You're very sexy. Hypersexual is so good.

HYPERSEXUAL MAN: MALE LEAD WHO IS OUTSTANDING (IN BED)

- Oh. - Anyway,

you feeling like you can't live without Yeon-seo is part of my novel.

A work that I've poured my heart and soul into.

- [sighs] - I know you don't believe me.

- [gasps] - How can you expect me

to believe such utter nonsense?

[sighs]

You have your car keys, don't you?

Yeah.

[Ha-jun] Miss Seo Yeon-seo, how far are you going?

Why did you bring me here all of a sudden?

To prove that everything about you and this universe originates

- from my novel. - How though?

So, if you write "sunrise" on the beach,

are we going to see the sun rise all of a sudden?

I would type "escape" if it could be done.

- [sighs] - The thing is,

this is the chapter's ending scene.

Tonight,

I'll find myself stuck in the freezer room at the office cafeteria.

In exactly one minute.

It took us an hour and a half of travel to get here.

- How can we get there in one minute? - That's why I brought you here.

Because there's no way to get to the office in one minute.

In my novel, the fate of Seo Yeon-seo rests solely

in the hands of Mr. Kang.

Only you can save me from being locked up in the freezer room.

Miss Seo Yeon-seo.

Ha-jun, I implore you to believe me now.

If you don't come, you'll find me frozen to death

- in the freezer room. - [sighs]

You have nothing to worry about.

[mouse clicks]

[typing]

THE DOOR OF THE FREEZER ROOM SUDDENLY BROKE

JUST BEFORE SHE LEFT WORK…

[typing continues]

[Yeon-seo breathes shakily]

Time is running out.

Just believe me, and please come to my rescue.

Can you do that?

Oh, I hate being cold so much.

- Can you lend me this, Ha-jun? - Are you cold?

- [exhales sharply] - Hold on.

Hurry, hurry! [breathes shakily]

Miss Seo Yeon-seo?

Miss Seo Yeon-seo.

Miss Seo Yeon-seo!

[gasps]

[Ja-yeon] Well, here I am.

- [door thuds] - [Ja-yeon] The door is broken, Yeon-seo.

You don't have reception, Yeon-seo.

Is anyone there?

Anyone?

Is anyone there?

[Ja-yeon] No one's there, Yeon-seo.

Hello! [pants]

I'm sorry, Yeon-seo.

Anyone?

[paper rustles]

I'm Seo Yeon-seo?

[Yeon-seo] Bok Gyu-hyun, the online troll, is Kang Ha-jun,

and my Yeo Ha-jun is Kim Do-gyeom.

In my book, this is a living nightmare.

You feeling like you can't live without Yeon-seo is part of my novel.

A work that I've poured my heart and soul into.

I implore you to believe me now.

If you don't come, you'll find me frozen to death in the freezer room.

If I believe her, that means I don't have real feelings for Miss Seo Yeon-seo.

If I don't believe her,

Miss Seo Yeon-seo will die.

Oh, my God.

[sighs]

[Yeon-seo sobbing, shivering]

[sighs]

[gasps]

Oh. What's wrong with this?

[strains] Is it broken?

- [knocks] - [Yeon-seo] Hello!

Are you there?

I'm trapped in here.

I'm trapped in here. Please hurry!

[drill whirring]

- Why would someone go in there? - She's gonna freeze to death.

[clamor, drilling continues outside]

[Ja-yeon] Only Kang Ha-jun can open that door.

[parent, distorted] Nam Ja-yeon!

[high-pitched ringing]

Don't make me repeat myself!

I told you to come out!

- [muffled banging] - [inhales deeply]

[parent] Come out now!

Come out!

[young Ja-yeon breathes shakily]

[parent] If you don't come out right now…

Nam Ja-yeon, you better come out this second!

Why are you not listening? Open up!

[parent] What the hell? Come out now, Ja-yeon!

Where are you? Come out, for God's sake!

Get out of there!

- What the hell are you waiting for? - [door thuds]

Nam Ja-yeon!

[sighs]

[Ja-yeon] Kang Ha-jun.

Come quickly.

[drill whirring]

[gasps]

- Oh, Mr. Kang, good evening. - Good evening, sir.

[Yeon-seo] In my novel, the fate of Seo Yeon-seo rests solely

in the hands of Mr. Kang.

Only you can save me from being locked up in the freezer room.

[Ja-yeon] Oh.

He's here.

[shivering]

[cafeteria employee 1] How did he open it by just touching it?

- [gasps] - Huh? Was it that easy to open?

- We tried so hard to open it. - All that for nothing.

[sighs]

[shivers]

[sighs]

I apologize for being late.

[heartbeat thumping]

[sighs]

[Ja-yeon] Huh? This is…

an immutable law for romance novels.

The female lead always ends up falling for the male lead.

I wrote it, so why is my heart beating so fast?

[typing]

HA-JUN, MORE FURIOUS THAN EVER, ONLY HAD ONE THOUGHT IN MIND

I SHALL ENSURE YOU MEET THE MOST MISERABLE END

[sighs] I was so scared because I thought you weren't coming, you know?

Seo Yeon-seo would never die because of plot armor,

but it was never in the plot for her to have possessed me either.

So I worried about additional divergence.

Seo Yeon-seo… I mean,

would you like to be addressed as "the author"?

[gasps] Ha-jun.

- Does this mean you believe me now? - Are you glad?

- Because I believed you? - Of course!

Do you know how frustrated I was? I have no idea how to get out of this world,

and no one believes me.

Yeah, I'm glad.

[sighs]

Ha-jun, you seem upset about something.

You looked so cool when you saved Yeon-seo just now.

How can I not be upset?

My feelings, the universe I live in… I mean, I'm not even real.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…

Get some rest.

[door opens, closes]

[curtains rustle]

Ha-jun, wake up!

Close the curtains.

Come on, get up. Hurry.

Why?

Is today's chapter supposed to start early in the morning?

Just get up if you want to know.

[birds singing]

[Yeon-seo] Isn't this the place?

This is where you ate the sausage you had as a child,

the taste you still can't forget.

WE COOK WITH LOVE YEON-JUN'S MEAL

How did you know that?

Is this also part of the story in your novel?

You no longer need to convince me, Miss Seo.

I have no choice but to believe you now.

It's not that.

Shall we go in first?

Ah.

So, this is what it looks like in this world.

What, Miss Seo? Is this not part of the story in your novel?

I only imagined it when I wrote it. It's my first time seeing it though.

Oh.

The backyard…

[gasps] It's over there.

- What are you looking for? - [groans]

This isn't it either, huh?

Step aside.

[gasps]

Ooh! [giggles]

[gasps]

- I found it. - What is it?

I'm sorry, it's a secret.

Mmm.

Uh… [clears throat]

Y-You wrote me as an empiricist,

so I need to taste it in order to determine whether or not

I ate poop or fermented soy.

[exhales sharply] It's soy sauce.

- [clears throat] - Oh.

Could this be…

It's the recipe for the sausages

that you have been relentlessly tormenting Seo Yeon-seo to discover.

Stir-fried soy sauce sausage and vegetables.

Eat it quickly before it gets cold.

[breathes deeply]

[sighs]

Is it good?

- [chuckles] - [sighs deeply]

So, actually, Seo Yeon-seo's grandma ran this restaurant.

The spicy taste you've been craving in the stir-fried soy sauce sausage

was her grandma's aged soy sauce.

- [sighs] - When I was young,

very, very young in fact…

my mom made this for me.

That taste will always stick in my mind.

So, none of this is fake. I can assure you.

It's a part of me.

Both you and this universe.

All of this.

What about Miss Seo Yeon-seo?

What I'm so sad and upset about the most

is that my feelings for Miss Seo seem to have no place to go.

I still love the woman in front of me, in this restaurant,

but this woman says she isn't Seo Yeon-seo and wants to escape this universe.

So…

I am sad and upset.

As I mentioned to you,

it's all a part of me, Ha-jun.

Seo Yeon-seo is a part of me too.

So, me and Seo Yeon-seo are the same person.

I created this universe.

Ah.

[chuckles]

Mmm.

And is there something you want to do?

In this universe of yours?

Hmm.

For sure.

["A World For Us" playing]

From here to there, give me everything in between.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm paying. Here you go.

[song continues]

Mr. Kang Ha-jun, how about we go eat now?

What do you want to eat?

Mmm!

Enjoy your meal, Miss Seo Yeon-seo.

[song continues]

Mr. Kang Ha-jun.

You up for dessert?

[squealing]

What's up, Ha-jun? You're tired, huh?

[sighs]

[song continues]

Mr. Kang Ha-jun, shall we…

[stammers] You want more?

[song ends]

[crunches]

[Ha-jun] Oh. It's starting.

[film soundtrack playing]

Wait.

What is it?

Don't you think that actor looks like me a little?

[laughs]

All the male actors in this universe look like you.

Because you are the most handsome man in this universe.

[exhaling sharply] Wow.

I've always wanted to be unique.

[chuckling]

[birds singing]

[chuckles]

Is there anything else you wanted to do?

I'm doing it now.

Exactly this.

You know, I'll do this with you anytime and anywhere forever.

[parent] Ja-yeon!

Ja-yeon, it's Dad.

- Yeon-seo. - [young Ja-yeon] Dad!

[muffled footsteps]

- [chuckles] - [young Ja-yeon] What took you so long?

I almost starved to death.

What do you want to eat, Ja-yeon? I'll buy you anything you want.

Hmm. Then I want malatang.

I think your stomach will be upset because it's so spicy.

Then tanghulu.

Tanghulu?

Your teeth will decay because it's so excessively sweet. [chuckles]

[laughs] Let's go.

Apart from those, I'll buy you everything you want to eat.

[young Ja-yeon] Then I'm going to raid a convenience store.

Mmm. Okay, I'll keep an eye out. [laughs]

This place really is

the universe I had always dreamed of.

[sniffs]

It will stay that way.

Forever.

[mouse clicks]

- [classical music playing] - [typing]

[Ja-yeon] Huh? That sound…

What's up with that sound?

Mr. Kang, do you hear it too?

- Yeah, it's loud and clear. - [gasps]

Oh, that's not good.

YEON-SEO'S DRESS SLIPS DOWN…

AND YEON-SEO'S SLIM BODY…

[typing continues]

[gasps] What's happening?

This chapter's ending scene

must occur, no matter what.

It's crucial.

A scene?

Oh.

Do you mean a moment where emotions become warm,

and our bodies are ignited by an intimate…

- exchange? - When this music plays in the background,

I don't get to choose what my body does, and I'm unable to speak too.

Huh?

Never mind.

- Why can I control myself? - [inhales sharply]

- [gasps] - Is that important right now?

Now, you stop thinking.

[gasps]

Ha-jun.

Do you remember if last night…

Did we do it?

You don't have any recollection either?

What on earth happened?

It was a crucial scene. [gasps]

- Were we too tired? - I have a morning meeting to attend to.

[slaps]

- Again. - What?

- [bird chirping, in Korean] Peep show. - [gasping]

- [in English] You don't remember, do you? - Not at all.

I need to go to the meeting now. [grunts]

Again.

What?

[bird chirping, in Korean] Peep show. Peep show.

[Ha-jun mumbling]

[sighs]

[in English] So strange.

It's like the scenes in our memories have been cut out.

[person] Ms. Yeon.

So many readers are complaining because they can't read Spice Up Our Love.

The office wants to release a censored version.

Ah, so like PG-15?

[Ja-yeon, echoing] So like PG-15? PG-15?

PG-15? PG-15? PG-15?

Why am I living in the PG-15 version?

[inhales sharply]

[grunts] I lost so much hair from writing those passionate scenes.

Mr. Kang Ha-jun.

- Again. - [gasps]

I really want to, but today I really have to go to work.

Is work important right now?

This scene between us could just disappear from now on.

Yeon-seo.

I don't need a scene or whatever, as long as I have you.

You mean that?

You're in front of me right now.

This is enough for me.

[sighs]

[Yeon-seo] This is so annoying!

[Ha-jun] I'll come home early today.

Let me know if you want to eat anything. My secretary will…

Oh.

I'm sure you already knew,

but it was Do-gyeom who locked you up in the freezer room.

And even if you intended it, I couldn't let it slide.

[Ja-yeon gasps] This scene.

So I fired Mr. Kim at once.

What is it? Will something else happen?

If you'll tell me first…

Kang Ha-jun.

Yes, Miss Seo Yeon-seo.

Each morning, we'll begin our day together,

and end it together happily at night.

Nothing will happen to us.

Let's enjoy the here and now.

As if we're never going to die.

You know, the main character never dies, right?

I'll be home soon.

[car approaching]

[mouse clicks]

[typing]

[typing stops]

[Yeon-seo] I'll be fine,

so don't be too sad. Okay?

[tires squeal]

[thuds]

[gasps]

[gasping]

[breathes shakily]

Ha-jun.

[panting]

Ha-jun.

Kang Ha-jun.

Ha-jun!

[sirens wailing in distance]

KANG ** JUN, NEUROSURGERY

Something's wrong.

Do-gyeom's car was supposed to hit me.

Why? Why did Ha-jun…

[door opens]

- [Director Oh sighs] - Doctor.

Is Kang Ha-jun okay?

Thankfully, he isn't badly injured. He should be fine.

Mr. Kang is a lead character.

What? What do you mean "lead character"?

He's absolutely perfect. There isn't a single flaw in him.

Like a lead character.

- Oh. - [sighs]

This is something that I never imagined would have happened to him.

A variable must have been altered.

- "A variable"? - When a specific variable is altered,

the related value happens to be altered too.

At this point, there's no way to know with precision how the values will be altered.

[sighs]

Director Oh, I need your help.

What am I supposed to do then?

[panting]

[breathes deeply]

[machines whirring, beeping]

[Director Oh] Was a variable altered in Mr. Kang's life?

At this point, there's no way to know with precision how the values will be altered.

I'm so sorry, Ha-jun.

For everything.

[breathes shakily]

[panting]

[nurse] Mr. Kang Ha-jun was transferred to an inpatient room just now.

[panting]

Kang Ha-jun!

Miss Seo Yeon-seo.

I was worried.

You shouldn't be walking around in this condition.

I feel good though.

You said a lead character never dies, didn't you?

So, you recalled the rule.

Why did you risk your life then?

I can't die.

According to the plot, I should've been hit by the car.

- You should've let that-- - I couldn't let that happen.

I won't be able to in the future either.

[sighs]

Do you have any idea what you mean to me?

[breathes shakily]

What… do I mean to you?

[breathes deeply]

You're the reason I exist in this world.

You're the reason I want to exist.

You're…

the woman I love.

[romantic music plays]

I love you, Miss Nam Ja-yeon.

No matter where

or when,

I'll always be with you, Ja-yeon.

That was my first kiss.

[inhales sharply]

That wasn't your first kiss.

It's not a kiss I wrote, but one that happened.

You can't call that a kiss though.

Miss Nam Ja-yeon, here's a kiss.

[music fades]

[music resumes]

[Ha-jun] You're in front of me right now.

This is enough for me.

The universe I live in… I mean, I'm not even real.

[Yeon-seo] None of this is fake.

It's a part of me.

Both you and this universe.

I created this universe.

Each morning, we'll begin our day together,

and end it together happily at night.

[Ha-jun] I love you, Miss Nam Ja-yeon.

No matter where

or when,

I'll always be with you, Ja-yeon.

Don't do it!

I won't get sick of it.

Whether it's the flavors I love or the women I fall for…

I don't get bored.

Ever.

You're really the CEO of GB Electric.

I'm Kang Ha-jun.

[sighs]

[gasps]

[gasps]

My phone.

- [shrieks] - Miss Yeon.

It's me, the commenter.

So, you didn't die?

[sighs]

I'm sorry for that.

I couldn't obey your request for me to die.

- [sighs] - [breathes shakily] I am…

so glad you didn't.

[chuckles]

So glad.

[giggles]
