(suspenseful music)

Who? Taeyoon?

Yes.

-The Taeyoon I know wants to work with me? -Yes.

-Why? -What do you mean, "why?"

You've now joined the ranks of lyricists who produce guaranteed hits.

You should be more proud of yourself.

Jay Jun apparently spoke very highly of you to Taeyoon.

They're close friends.

Uh...

I'm a really big fan of Taeyoon.

It was my life's dream to work with Taeyoon.

But please keep that a secret from Jay Jun.

(Wooil chuckles)

Isn't it too soon to have your life's dream fulfilled?

(laughs)

Let's get everyone together soon.

We need to get another song of ours on top of the charts.

Yes, of course! Yes!

Wow.

(whispering) This is amazing.

(screaming)

(chuckles)

I'm so sorry.

(laughing)

Taeyoon?

I mean, he's beyond human.

He's a god of music. A music god!

And that Taeyoon said he absolutely has to work with me

even though he already has his in-house lyricists!

Can I tag along when you go to work?

Let me just see his face from a distance.

Why do you need to go and see a face that's all over the Internet?

I don't want to see faces that I want to hit.

I want to see faces that get hits on the Internet. That's why.

No one's ever on my side.

Man, it would have been nice to have Sunwoo around on a day like this.

(chuckles softly)

-Yeah… -Does he keep in touch often?

Maybe once or twice a week? Not so much.

Gosh.

I miss our Mr. Han.

-GYEOLHAN: I wonder if he's doing well. -I'm sure he is.

He's the type to enjoy himself even in the middle of a desert.

(all laughing)

That's true.

CUSTOMER: Excuse me.

Yes, coming!

Where are you going?

Come on, you're closer.

Hey.

Now you are.

She's on a total power trip.

GYEOLHAN: Seriously.

-Jeez. -Did you have another fight?

MARI: You're not truly married if you don't.

Even all the scuffles are a part of married life.

(chuckles)

(Mari sighs)

EUNSOO: I'm writing lyrics for Taeyoon now.

Crazy, right?

(message transmit)

(Sunwoo clears throat, sniffs)

SUNWOO: Ms. Lee Eunsoo!

How does it feel to have officially debuted as a lyricist?

(We'll Shine Brighter than Any Star plays on cellphone)

(clears throat) Well…

-♪ I wonder if you know ♪ -It is…

-♪ How precious they are to me ♪ -...a beautiful night.

-Me, a lyricist… Can you believe it? -(both laughing)

♪ Had I held you more often in my arms ♪

How do I set this song to repeat all-day?

I want to keep listening to it, but it doesn't work.

-There should be a way. -Is it this?

-You like it that much? -♪ I regret ♪

I need to play it so you can get rich.

♪ The way things ended ♪

-That is an excellent idea. -I know.

-♪ So I miss you more, so I'm sorry ♪ -(deep breath)

-♪ Where are you now? ♪ -(breathes deeply)

-I now have another goal. -♪ Are you listening? ♪

What is it?

Taeyoon.

-♪ If you're listening ♪ -He's your favorite singer.

-♪ Will you think of me? ♪ -I'll write lyrics for him one day.

Then it would be nice to listen to it all-day long.

That's not just nice. It would be awesome.

Right?

Good.

My next goal is Taeyoon.

EUNSOO: Please help me.

I'll put the song on loop 24 hours a day. Please do it.

-EUNSOO: All-day long. -Definitely.

-(sniffles) -(both chuckle)

That sounds so nice.

-I know, right? -SUNWOO: Yeah.

(Sunwoo chuckles)

(chuckles)

(reflective music)

(reflective music continues)

(theme music)

(Eunsoo groans, exclaims)

FINAL EPISODE

What is all this?

Enjoy them. I can bring you more every day.

DONGHYEON: Nice!

Mandarins are in season. They're very sweet. Super delicious.

Mmm, mmm...

(chuckles)

Oh, what's the picture you wanted?

My ID photo from last year. I have to submit one to some association,

but I don't want to take the picture anywhere else.

You can't go anywhere else once you've seen what Sunwoo can do.

DONGHYEON: Let's see.

(keypad clacking)

(reflective music)

(clicking)

Even you find yourself beautiful, don't you?

(chuckles)

When did he take a picture like this?

(reflective music continues)

(reflective music)

(cellphone buzzing)

(cellphone buzzing continues)

Hey, Sunwoo! You're finally getting a signal?

Yeah. Oh, is that right? Eunsoo's here with me.

Okay. All right, take care!

(music stops abruptly)

-What? -He got a signal for a brief moment,

so he couldn't talk for long.

-Too bad. Yes. -Is that so?

(Donghyeon clicking)

Found it. This one, right?

-Yes. -DONGHYEON: Okay. I'll email it to you.

Okay.

(cellphone chiming)

It must be Sunwoo!

I knew he would call me.

PRODUCER KANG WOOIL

(cellphone chiming continues)

Yes, Mr. Kang.

(wine pouring)

(gentle music playing)

(wine pouring)

(gentle music continues playing)

Enjoy your dinner.

WOOIL: Yes, thank you.

(breathes deeply)

How's the view?

WOOIL: It was hard reserving a table by the window.

Yes. The view is lovely.

So, when are the agency people arriving?

I'm sorry.

WOOIL: I lied.

-Sorry? -I postponed the celebration party.

I want to talk about something else today.

WOOIL: It's a bit hard waiting indefinitely.

I'm sure you know, and it's nothing new, but…

(suck teeth) I want to go out with you, Eunsoo.

I want to hear your voice every day, buy you all the good food in the world,

and make you smile.

When I find one sad line in your lyrics, I spend all-day wondering if you're okay.

(suck teeth)

That's how I feel.

(breathes deeply)

How about you, Eunsoo?

(gentle music playing)

EUNSOO: Mr. Kang.

I also lied.

Actually...

(music stops)

...I don't like wine.

(somber music)

I couldn't have come this far without you, and I'm really thankful.

There was also a time…

when my heart fluttered being around you.

Even when I'm sitting across from you

in this beautiful, fancy place. Yet for some reason,

I feel no excitement in my heart.

(somber music continues)

I thought I would hate wine less

if I kept drinking it.

But it just never got better, Mr. Kang.

Even as we're having this conversation,

my mind is somewhere else. And I…

(breathes deeply)

(exhales sharply)

I don't really know why.

So that's what he meant.

WOOIL: Your friend.

When we met last time,

he asked me if you were enjoying the wine.

That bitter expression on his face…

I didn't know what it meant then.

I'm sorry, Mr. Kang.

Then,

we…

Can't work together anymore?

(somber music)

(laughing)

Who in the world would do that?

Lose a talented lyricist like you just so I won't have to feel awkward?

WOOIL: Then I'd be a fool.

Don't worry about it.

Thank you for being honest with me.

It does sting a little, but I do feel relieved.

Let's forget the wine and have some beer instead.

They have a good selection of draft beer here.

(Wooil sucks teeth)

(exclaims)

Well…

You do like beer, right?

Yes, I do.

(chuckling)

(sighs, chuckles)

Gosh.

(door chimes open)

(door chimes)

(uplifting music)

Sunwoo?

You should have called me first!

(Eunsoo yelps) My goodness!

You scared me.

Can't you please call before you come, Mom?

Why are you looking for Sunwoo? He's not even in Korea.

Are you seeing things?

(exclaims) Where did you even find this?

I found it upstairs while I was cleaning.

It seemed to be Sunwoo's, so I brought it down.

EUNSOO'S MOM: You should keep things tidy.

You turned the dumplings in the freezer into fossils.

They're frozen, so they should be fine.

Is Sunwoo in good health?

Well…

I'm sure he is.

-Oh, right. Mom. -EUNSOO'S MOM: Hm?

-Did you bring them? -Bring what?

You know what I'm talking about. Ones that look like this.

This?

-Do you smoke? -EUNSOO'S MOM: No…

(whimsical music)

Go ahead.

Choose three cards, from your heart.

It will be your future.

-Left hand, right? -Yeah.

EUNSOO: This one.

(whimsical music continues)

And this one.

And this.

(whimsical music)

New opportunities.

Determined heart.

Oh, my.

EUNSOO: Mom…

This is unbelievable.

I was just offered to write for a new song.

Really?

It's for a big star.

Guess who.

Lim Youngwoong.

Keep going.

-(music stops) -(sucks teeth)

(exclaims)

EUNSOO: This card.

This is the one that Sunwoo picked out before.

So you were the one who gave it to him?

What did it mean again?

Someone very far away or something?

-It was a lie. -What?

That card. It doesn't mean someone far away.

It means someone close.

A very close connection.

(reflective music)

What? Then why did you say the opposite? (chuckles)

(chuckles)

Because. When I saw his face then, I just felt like I needed to.

EUNSOO'S MOM: He looked like someone who had a secret found out,

so I wanted to cover for him. That's why.

(reflective music continues)

New opportunities

can always come by again,

but a determined heart is uniquely bound to a single moment.

When the right moment comes, seize it, whatever it is.

If it feels true to your heart, that is.

(reflective music)

Why? Do you want one too?

Yeah.

Pick one.

I want…

(reflective music continues)

This one.

(soft chuckle)

(sighs) I told you to seize it.

(both chuckle)

CARESSING ME WITH ALL YOUR BURDENS HIDDEN

YOUR HAND IS FILLED WITH YOUR PRECIOUS HEART

(reflective music)

EUNSOO: Are you kidding me? Why aren't you reading your messages?

You're dead when you come back.

(message transmits)

(keypad clacking)

I MISS YOU…

(emotive music)

(emotive music continues)

(object clatters)

(object clatters)

(music building)

(emotive music continues)

(paper rustling)

(object clatters)

(music fades)

(music stops)

IN EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE, I WISH I COULD BE BY YOUR SIDE

(I Want to Be More than a Friend plays)

EUNSOO'S MOM: Seize it, whatever it is. If it feels true to your heart, that is.

♪ To me, every day ♪

♪ Each day is like a gift ♪

EUNSOO Sunwoo. I have something to tell you.

♪ You wouldn't know ♪

Call me when you can.

♪ Even just a reflection of you on a window when I look at you ♪

♪ It feels like time has stopped ♪

(wind chimes tinkle)

(emotive music)

(emotive music continues)

(wind chimes tinkle)

Hi.

Here.

SUNWOO: I bought all the chocolate I could find.

And…

What is this?

-SUNWOO: So you can write your lyrics. -(Eunsoo exclaims)

(emotive music)

Couldn't you have texted back at least once?

I was worried about you.

I tried, but it just wouldn't send.

I thought about calling you as soon as I landed.

But I decided not to, so I could see that face right now.

Tss...

I guess Donghyeon's acting was good, seeing that he managed to fool you.

Yeah, he really got me.

SUNWOO: Gosh.

(Sunwoo grunts)

(Sunwoo breathes heavily)

(emotive music)

(clears throat) So what happened?

I thought you'd spend another year.

Benzema had some personal issues, so the schedule changed a bit.

We're meeting back up again in Prague, in ten days.

SUNWOO: So I came back briefly to work on the photos I took.

I see.

For ten days.

Oh, right. Taeyoon!

I heard you're writing for Taeyoon. That's really crazy, Eunsoo!

I shouted in the streets when I heard the news.

You promised that you would listen every day.

Yes.

-Keep it on even when you're asleep. -Of course.

Contribute to the royalties.

I vow to do so.

(Sunwoo exclaims)

I'm so proud of you.

I knew you could do it, friend.

(emotive music continues)

(music fades)

Get dressed. We have to get going.

What? Go where?

Hurry up.

The restaurant is glowing now that you're back.

(laughing)

But why did you come back so suddenly?

Well, that's because…

I came back to give you this. Ta-da!

What is this?

-What? -Happy birthday!

-Thank you. -EUNSOO: We got it together.

(Mari exclaiming)

MARI: I was giving up on receiving any gifts this year.

Thanks, guys.

Is Gyeolhan going to be late?

He went to see his parents today.

MARI: He's coming back tomorrow.

Though he really doesn't need to.

-(Mari exclaiming) -(cellphone buzzing)

-Hello? -MARI: My gosh.

-SUNWOO: Oh, yes. -So pretty.

Eunsoo, you should never get married.

I'm a textbook example of why you shouldn't.

Don't be like that on your birthday.

(music stops)

What?

-What's going on? -(guitar plays)

-GYEOLHAN: ♪ Your every word ♪ -(chuckles)

♪ Your every smile means a lot to me ♪

MARI: Hey!

♪ I, Gyeolhan, am forever your egg ♪

♪ And, Choi Mari, you are forever my roll ♪

♪ Today's your birthday ♪

♪ I've prepared this little surprise for you ♪

♪ Please take this ♪

(Mari exclaims)

Ta-da!

Happy Birthday.

-(all cheering) -Wow, what a surprise.

(all cheering, applauding)

So how many installments do we have on this?

I used my mom's card. We can talk about that later.

-Tell me. -Hurry up and blow.

-The candles are going out. -MARI: Okay.

-One, two, three. -SUNWOO: ...two, three.

-(blows air) -(applauding)

-Happy Birthday, Mari! -SUNWOO: Happy Birthday!

Thank you!

Come on! When did you plan all this?

I'm sorry it had to be in the restaurant again.

Next year, let's go to Jeju Island.

All right. Since I'm in the mood,

I'll get you a new fishing rod!

-Wow. -Gyeolhan.

-♪ Everything you do ♪ -MARI: Jeez.

Okay, I'll get you new sneakers too!

-GYEOLHAN: ♪ Everything you do ♪ -Hey, stop it. Stop.

-GYEOLHAN: I can do this forever. -MARI: Stop it.

-(Gyeolhan laughing) -(reflective music)

SUNWOO: Gosh. This is nice

walking with you after such a long time.

(Eunsoo chuckles)

EUNSOO: I got so much better at driving while you were gone.

I can drive to get groceries by myself now.

SUNWOO: Wow. Congratulations.

EUNSOO: And my mom came over to organize my fridge a few days ago.

You know the dumplings we got?

They were almost expired.

Remember? The ones we bought together.

My mom almost slapped my back for it.

(Sunwoo exclaims)

SUNWOO: You have a good memory. You still remember that?

EUNSOO: Because I never bought any dumplings after that.

-That's why I remember. -SUNWOO: You should've just eaten them.

EUNSOO: But they'd be gone if I ate them.

I just couldn't eat them.

SUNWOO: Don't let the mandarins go bad. Make some preserves.

EUNSOO: I never felt like doing it.

I'll give it a try.

Oh, Eunsoo.

You said you had something to tell me.

What was it?

Ah...

Well…

What is it? Did something happen?

(soft music)

Public safety isn't the best abroad.

So just be safe.

(scoffs)

(breathes deeply)

(soft music continues)

(music fades)

Hey, you should put something around your neck.

I'm fine.

Stay still.

You've already forgotten how cold winter is in Korea.

Take it.

You'll freeze to death trying to be fashionable.

That's my line.

(chuckles)

(emotive music)

Thanks. It's warm.

EUNSOO: Yeah.

I'm going in now.

-Okay, bye. -Okay.

(Eunsoo breathes heavily)

(emotive music continues)

What brings you here?

Ta-da! (chuckles)

There's a new dessert shop down the street and they're apparently super popular.

I thought I might bring you some…

But you already have some.

Sunwoo's friend from college brought some earlier. It's fine.

DONGHYEON: The more the better!

Of course. Take a seat. Have some with us.

(paper rustles)

I'm glad you brought more. He ate them all by himself.

Eunsoo brought the exact same stuff.

-She brought a lot. -DONGHYEON: I'm not complaining.

(chomps)

Sunwoo! One of the rolls is totally ruined!

I think I made a mistake. You need to come and see.

(Sunwoo sighs)

-DONGHYEON: No way. -I'll be back soon.

Where…

Gosh, she's a handful.

What's going on? Who's that?

Oh. Sunwoo's junior from art school.

She's here to help with the shots Sunwoo took with Benzema,

but she's really something else.

She and Sunwoo seem to be cut from the same cloth.

I see.

(whimsical music)

You know the ones we checked together?

Yeah.

SUNWOO: I think we can choose from one of those.

I put those somewhere here…

-Hey, Eunsoo, come here. -Huh?

Let me introduce you.

-Okay. -This is Lee Eunsoo.

-You know Jay Jun and Taeyoon, right? -Of course.

She's a famous lyricist who writes lyrics for them.

SEOYEON: Really? That's amazing.

And you're so pretty.

-Me? -SEOYEON: Yes.

Oh, I'm not.

She's not your girlfriend, is she? She's way too pretty to be with you.

-No, she's my best friend. -I see. Best friends.

Yes, we're best friends. (chuckles)

(chuckles)

-And this is... -My name is Kim Seoyeon.

(music stops)

Oh...

Of course! (chuckles)

I'm helping Sunwoo. And following him around.

Mm...

Yeah, she's exhausting.

-Hey, stop. -Come on, what would she think of me?

-I just said the truth. -You can just say I'm here to help...

Nice to meet you! I mean it, really.

-(Eunsoo laughs awkwardly) -(whimsical music)

Hey, I'm going to merge the second file and put it aside then, okay?

-Okay, thanks. -Please sit.

Okay, please don't mind me. (chuckles softly)

-You're not going to eat those? -You can have them.

I'll be back soon.

Okay.

(whimsical music continues)

(clears throat)

(Seoyeon exclaims)

Eunsoo, can you pass me those cookies?

-Can you help me with this? -SUNWOO: Well, first…

How did you do that?

(both chuckle)

(Sunwoo clicking)

What about about here?

-SUNWOO: No, not there. -SEOYEON: Okay.

SEOYEON: Not this either.

HAN SUNWOO WHAT SHOULD I DO?

(music stops)

DON'T DO ANYTHING, EUNSOO. PLEASE! NO, DO SOMETHING!

EUNSOO: In for some French food and rice wine for dinner?

(message transmits)

(sighs)

(buzzes)

SUNWOO: We'll be drinking at the studio tonight. Want to join us?

(thrilling music)

Darn.

(clears throat)

(thrilling music continues)

Hair up?

SEOYEON: I put these together here…

-SEOYEON: Not this one. Too much noise. -SUNWOO: This much should be fine.

(music stops)

SUNWOO: There's too much noise...

Hey, you're here.

Can you wait for a little? We just need to finish this.

SUNWOO: We'll join you soon. Make yourself comfortable.

No problem. Take your time.

SEOYEON: How about this one? It's good, right?

-SUNWOO: No, the next one. -SEOYEON: This one's okay too.

(sighs)

-No? -(plastic rustles)

-This one? -SUNWOO: Next.

-This one? -SUNWOO: No.

-(chuckles) -(whimsical music)

-You don't like any of these. This? -SUNWOO: We can't use these. Next.

(Seoyeon laughing)

This is the one.

SEOYEON: When I took it, it had really nice lighting.

-It came out nicely. -Gosh.

-I see. -We can try this again later.

SEOYEON: And then…

-This one? -Nope, next.

-SUNWOO: What was this one? -What was what?

(Sunwoo breathes deeply)

-SEOYEON: This one looks pretty. -Okay.

SEOYEON: And this one?

-SEOYEON: This one… -EUNSOO: Why can't I see anything?

Eunsoo, I'm so sorry to ask, but that camera is quite expensive.

It's really fragile. (chuckles)

-SEOYEON: Can you put that down, please? -SUNWOO: It's okay.

No, it's expensive.

(chuckles)

-Thank you. -Hey, write this down.

-Okay, next. -This one.

SEOYEON: Eunsoo.

I'm so sorry, but that's our work.

Yes.

Thank you.

Don't worry. Focus on this.

-(chuckles) -(Seoyeon exclaims)

-This one looks good. -Yes, this is it.

-Okay, then. Let's take this one. -You are really good. I give you that.

Right? Sunwoo is talented.

SEOYEON: Yes, his photos are surely different.

-Right? -SEOYEON: Yes.

-I see. -(Seoyeon exclaims)

This one was here?

-I told you to delete it. -Why? This one looks good.

SEOYEON: I like this one. (chuckles)

Let's eat!

SEOYEON: Hey, Donghyeon.

Okay, then.

-SUNWOO: Let's send these over email. -SEOYEON: Okay. Sounds good.

Earlier…

SEOYEON: Attention.

Onion soup with rice wine?

DONGHYEON: That's a new combination.

Am I falling behind with the trends or is this a mistake in the order?

They pair better than you think.

SUNWOO: This is soul food to me and Eunsoo.

That's right.

Trust me.

-Doesn't sound good. -Exactly.

DONGHYEON: Gosh, these two.

(scoffs)

I can do it.

(reflective music)

Want some?

Mm-mm... I've tried once, but it wasn't for me.

-SEOYEON: I'll have a beer. -Did it give you a headache?

Yeah, it gave me a horrible hangover the next morning.

That's because you drink like there's no tomorrow.

True, I do have the tendency to do that.

-(Seoyeon laughs) -SUNWOO: It's good when you try a little.

-(Seoyeon exclaiming) -(liquid pouring)

-Just this, okay? -Okay.

-SEOYEON: I'll try. -Try.

ALL: Cheers!

SEOYEON: Cheers!

(reflective music)

Mmm...

-SUNWOO: This is it. -(Seoyeon exclaiming)

SUNWOO: Donghyeon, did you check what I asked for?

DONGHYEON: It looked really good.

-SUNWOO: Really? -DONGHYEON: Yes.

DONGHYEON: I'm already making contacts with a few galleries.

It's definitely on trend.

SEOYEON: But I think it needs some correction.

SEOYEON: We can make some corrections and then…

SUNWOO: Yes, I agree.

STUDIO RED

(reflective music continues)

(traffic noise)

(Seoyeon exclaims, sniffles)

SUNWOO: Is your taxi almost here?

SEOYEON: Yes, it will be here in five minutes.

SUNWOO: Okay.

(Sunwoo groans)

I had fun today.

Get home safely.

I will.

But Sunwoo.

Is your answer no today as well?

SUNWOO: How long are you going to keep this up?

Until you say yes, I told you.

-(scoffs) -(chuckles)

-(exclaims) -I'll be good to you.

-SUNWOO: What? -SEOYEON: Go out with me.

SEOYEON: I'll be so good to you that you'll forget all about your exes.

SUNWOO: Don't be silly.

-We just went to school together. -Oh, come on.

You're so old school.

Can't you just be cool about things?

SEOYEON: Jeez.

This is what makes me tired of you.

But I like you for this too.

This is what makes me like you. (chuckles)

-Your taxi is here. Get home. -(exclaims)

Okay, but you have to say yes tomorrow.

-SEOYEON: Okay? -SUNWOO: Go home.

-SEOYEON: I'll go. -Yes.

SEOYEON: Bye!

-SEOYEON: Say yes tomorrow. -Bye.

(Sunwoo sighs)

SUNWOO: You can come out now.

(emotive music)

You saw me?

SUNWOO: Why are you squatting there?

(Eunsoo groans)

Nothing… (chuckles)

...just instinctively.

(chuckles)

Go and get your things.

SUNWOO: I'll call a cab. Let's go.

Oh, hey. Wait.

Let's walk a little.

I'm too full to even fall asleep.

(emotive music)

EUNSOO: I think we should keep French food and rice wine between us.

The world isn't ready for our ultimate soul food pairing.

Yeah. They just don't get it.

EUNSOO: By the way, Seoyeon…

She seems to like you a lot.

-(Sunwoo exhales sharply) -(Eunsoo chuckles softly)

(Eunsoo clicks tongue)

EUNSOO: It wouldn't be weird for someone to say,

“Okay, fine! Let's see where it goes!”

But as expected from Han Sunwoo. These girls just don't stand a chance.

SUNWOO: She's someone I work with. I have to stay professional.

EUNSOO: Then what if I asked?

What?

(music fades)

EUNSOO: Let's date, Sunwoo.

Yes or no?"

What if I asked you that?

Of course,

that's a no. You don't even need to ask.

Why?

You said so yourself.

If we don't want to break up forever, we have to stay friends forever.

(sighs)

(pensive music)

I did, didn't I?

But like Mari and Gyeolhan,

friends can become lovers and live happily ever after, right?

Gyeolhan and Mari are exceptionally lucky.

There are more relationships that don't work out.

Go in.

You can sleep now, right?

(pensive music continues)

Yeah.

Good night.

-Bye. -Bye.

-I'm holding on to it. -EUNSOO: It's wobbling so much.

EUNSOO: I'm going! (yelping)

-I get it now. -Step on the pedals steadily.

-EUNSOO: Steadily, got it. -Yes, keep going.

Steadily.

-Don't let go! -I won't.

-SUNWOO: You have to keep going. -Steadily you said.

-Don't let go. -SUNWOO: I won't.

-Seriously, don't let go. -Okay.

-Okay, good. -Okay.

-Don't let go. -I didn't.

-Oh, no! Don't let go. -You're doing fine.

-You let go, didn't you? -I didn't.

I won't let go until you tell me to.

-(Eunsoo yelps) -Don't worry. Just go.

(Eunsoo exclaiming)

-Now! -Okay, now.

-Oh, gosh! -No, it's okay.

-I'm going! -Good!

-Don't let go! -You're doing great!

EUNSOO: Sunwoo. What are you up to tonight?

Let's hang out.

MARRIED COUPLE

(pensive music continues)

(door opens)

(Sunwoo breathes deeply)

-Hey. -SUNWOO: Hi.

Where are Gyeolhan and Mari?

Today is their off-day, dummy.

Oh...

Then how did you get in?

I asked Mari to let me borrow the restaurant for a night.

Why?

Because I have something to tell you.

(pensive music)

These are the lyrics that I'm working on now.

(sighs)

But I just can't seem to come up with the last line to finish.

I'VE BECOME MORE LIKE YOU I WILL PROTECT YOU

EUNSOO: Because of you.

(music fades)

I've thought about it all night. Again. And again.

And I've finally reached a conclusion.

I can't swallow it.

If I hold it in any longer,

I think I'm going to be sick unless I say this out loud.

(emotive music)

The day you went off to the military.

To tell you the truth,

I cried…

I cried a lot. You didn't know, right?

Back then,

it was because I didn't have anyone to eat late-night noodles with.

Or because a friend who put a scarf around me on cold days was gone.

Or because a friend to vent to was gone. I thought that was why I cried.

But on the day you left last year, I realized.

That it was love.

That this is love.

I thought unrequited love was supposed to be something cute like a little crush.

But every time I thought of you,

my heart ached so much

that I barely had any energy left when I came home.

But what made it most painful was…

to think how lonely

it must've been for you to do this for the past eight years.

(emotive music)

(sighs)

EUNSOO: To think…

you must have taken glimpses of me in secret

and stared into my back for a long time…

That I didn't realize it for so long is what hurt the most, Sunwoo.

I'm sorry.

For looking you in the eyes far too late.

For not realizing it sooner.

That's what I had to tell you.

That's all.

(emotive music continues)

(music fades)

(pen scribbling)

(breathes deeply)

I wrote in the last line.

I couldn't finish it because I had to leave a year ago.

Now I finished it.

(note book rustles)

PLEASE STAY BY MY SIDE, I LOVE YOU.

(emotive music)

(music building)

BONUS TRACK

(We'll Shine Brighter than Any Star plays)

MARI: Gosh.

What was it they say about how fickle the human heart is?

I knew this was going to happen.

GYEOLHAN: If they were going to be together anyway,

why did they go through all that trouble?

I guess a guy and a girl really can't be just friends.

GYEOLHAN: There's only one situation where that's possible.

It's only when both feel zero attraction to each other.

We couldn't stay friends because we were both so attractive.

(Gyeolhan clicks tongue)

(sighs)

You have to go out with me if you drink this.

MARI: What's with your eyes?

Is it one of those nights?

-Please raise your glasses now. -GYEOLHAN: Okay.

DONGHYEON: You did a great job.

MARI: Yes, we worked hard to make this happen.

DONGHYEON: By the way, why are they doing that here?

MARI: I know, right?

They're always like that…

GYEOLHAN: By the way, who are you?

(Donghyeon chuckles)

- Sorry, I was in the wrong seat. -(Mari chuckles)
