HOW IS YOUR LOVE?
Well, get home safely.
Oh, Eun-o.
Oh, Rin-i's here.
Hmm?
What's up? Why are you two here together?
Mm?
Oh, the meeting was at his company? Is that where you were?
Oh, yeah.
- Oh. - Hmm.
Wait. The documents you brought yesterday are still at upstairs.
Well…
we had to speed things up a little bit. That's why.
I told you, you didn't need to give me a ride home, Jae-won,
but you insisted on it.
Thanks so much. Drive safe. I'll go get a head start.
Oh. Jae-won, do you like ramen?
- Ramen? - Mm-hmm.
Oh, don't bother him. He's such a busy man.
You're not hungry.
I could eat.
But you don't actually want to eat ramen noodles.
I actually love ramen noodles.
- Let's eat, then. I've got time. - Mm-hmm.
You guys go ahead. Let me park my car first.
Eun-o's special clam ramen.
It looks so good.
It really does.
How "clam" I thank you?
Mm. It's so delicious.
- Jae-won, she invented this. - Huh?
I love clams.
Why didn't I think of adding this to ramen?
Eun-o.
Mine has so many clams.
Mine…
- When would you start working? - I won't start.
We had a conversation but I didn't like the conditions.
Mm. I think the company wasn't sure about you.
- We don't hire just anybody. - Ah, look who's on a power trip.
Ah, my guess is that you probably didn't read the small print, did you?
It says that other companies are going to bid as well
and our employees will evaluate all proposals and vote on the best one.
We made it clear.
- Could she be disqualified? - Mm-hmm.
Don't be ridiculous. No.
Oh, and just so you know,
O3 is the smallest company.
Haven't you heard "size doesn't matter"? Smallest ones are the best.
Anyway, I have no time, and it doesn't suit my company.
- So I'm out. - Eun-o.
I don't really think you're in a position to be picky.
And why not? O3 has been flourishing.
I'm actually about to reap what I sowed and receive like hundreds of offers.
Kyeong-jun probably told him that you were about to starve to death.
That's not true. I'm fine.
You need to get this gig. You better win this. Seriously.
The landlord wants to raise our rent. He called me.
Huh? Why are you telling me now?
He called me earlier today.
I am telling you now.
Okay. How much more?
- Twenty percent. - What?
Damn it. Is that absolutely necessary?
Do they want us to freeze to death this winter? Is he allowed to do that?
This is a rent-controlled neighborhood, Geon.
They can only raise it by four percent or something minor like that.
Are you stupid? Are you stupid? Why didn't you say anything?
Even five percent is absurd. Does money fall from the sky?
I refuse to pay all that.
Kyeong-jun told me the old Eun-o used to be kind and calm.
- Gosh. I'm really pissed. - Who in the world is this girl?
She's neither my beloved Yoon Seon-a nor the kindhearted Lee Eun-o.
I just can't understand her.
Tell the landlord I'm heading there right now.
- Go ahead. - You even signed the contract.
Probably not the best time to say this…
but the bidding is just around the corner, Eun-o.
Yeah, that was bad timing, dude.
Han-gyeol.
If you look closely at the maintenance fees
for the building here, I noticed the discrepancy…
Mr. Choi, may I have a word with you?
What is it?
I asked the owner of the house in Buam-dong
to wait until the end of this month.
Why won't you give up on your design?
You know they won't be able to move in.
Where are they gonna live until then? We already discussed this, remember?
You told me you would give up on it.
- But I can figure it out. - Yeah. For sure, you'll find a way.
After you redesign the entire freaking building.
Oh, don't forget to redesign the water supply and drainage.
You're an expert. What's up?
Why aren't you saying anything? Talk to me.
It's cause you're right about all this.
Kyeong-jun, everything you said is right.
Have you ever wondered…
how many houses in Seoul are over a century old?
They all get demolished within 20 or 30 years tops. It's a shame.
If we're going to build a house
with all the materials that we want to use,
I want to have no regrets about it,
and I want the family to live there for many generations.
You're bluffing about that. Let me see.
I'll give you ten more days.
I can't give you more than that. You understand?
Yes.
- How did the meeting go? - Pretty good.
Where were you?
I had a meeting with Lee Eun-o earlier today.
- Didn't you already give her the notes? - I thought I did that night,
but I forgot something. That's why. Hmm.
What's this?
Where was Eun-o planning to go
with an empty suitcase?
- Show us your necklace. - Oh, right.
Oh, yeah. Geon said you had some rings on it.
What are the rings for? A new boyfriend?
Good morning.
Hi. Is this a good time?
So, do you remember the open house party you did?
Uh-huh. Could you please send me the reference?
I saw the video your company made and wanted to refer it to someone.
Got it.
What if I go with acoustic music instead?
Uh, uh, can you please send a list?
Oh, sure, you're investing in O3.
Real soon. O3 will grow big and help you out.
Okay, thank you.
Well, I guess that will do.
Let's see.
- Are you here to see Rin-i? - Yes.
Uh…
I guess she didn't tell you yet.
She got fired today.
Our manager's sister-in-law will take her place. So…
What? But that's just so ridiculous.
Uh, do you know where she is now?
She didn't come here.
Where could she be? She wasn't at home either.
She's not a kid.
You think she got lost on her way home?
Did you really get that for 350,000 won?
Mm-hmm.
I only gave in because she was pestering me.
I looked it up. It actually costs 1.2 million won.
And it's a well-known brand.
That's right. And you know what else?
- It is actually new. - Hmm?
It's never been used or even been on display.
It's brand-new, you idiot.
Well, then, why did you say it was free?
Did you lie to her about that?
Would she get mad if she knew how much you paid?
Why didn't you catch on sooner?
I gave you all sorts of signals.
Did you?
You're not helping.
You're the problem here, not me.
You're complicating your love life.
Well, I refuse to be lectured by someone who's been single for two years.
Mm.
Where in the world is she?
Don't you think her boss was wrong? Think I should report him for firing her?
- Should I? - Yup. Mm-hmm.
What if she's crying somewhere right now?
She must be furious and upset. Mm.
She said she needed another gig.
- How could she get fired? - Kyeong-jun.
You still don't know what Rin-i's like.
Don't worry. I'm sure she's doing better than you think.
Oh, you think so? How do you know that?
- Are you her dad now? - Yes, I am her father.
You should go back home now.
Hmm.
What a beautiful day it is.
What a good dog you are.
You're great on a leash.
Hmm.
Oh!
Ah!
You're here.
I missed you so much. I'm so glad you're here.
- I wasn't expecting you. - I read your mind, didn't I?
Then you must have known I was craving spaghetti for lunch, right?
Of course. I know everything about you, my love.
Oh, yes. Of course, you do. Of course, you do.
- I can't wait to eat it. - It's ready. Go wash your hands.
Ah…
- Ah… - Ah…
Mm. Mm.
- Huh? - Mm.
I, uh… Let's throw this out.
Mm-mm. No, I can glue it back together. Just leave it there.
Why would she glue it back together?
Rin-i, this portable gas stove looks dangerous.
The actual stove will be fixed soon.
- Should I buy you a new one? - Thank you for the meal.
Mm. Delicious. I was literally starving to death.
- Enjoy it. I made a lot. - Eat some, too.
- Mm. - Rin-i.
I heard that you got fired from the store.
Who told you?
Did you come to see me? You should have called.
Mm!
I'm working somewhere else.
- A new job? - Dog walking.
You know the house near that playground there?
They have a big dog.
Well, I'll be walking their dog two hours every day.
Guess how much they pay.
It's 15,000 won per hour. In two hours, that's 30,000 won.
But won't you get cold?
How can you walk around for that long in this weather?
Mm-mm. Dog walking is fun.
I'll be exercising and making money.
Mm. So good.
Rin-i.
Is there something you'd want to study or learn about?
I already study.
I attend environmental seminars. They're cool.
Oh, no, like seriously studying.
Didn't you tell me you wanted to become a teacher one day?
Oh, we all have dreams when we're children, Kyeong-jun.
No, it's not a dream. I think that occupation will suit you well.
After all, you like kids.
I really think you could be a great elementary school teacher.
Why don't you get a degree?
Give it some serious thought.
I heard many people study to become a teacher at a later age, you know.
Kyeong-jun.
Again, it's just not for me.
Everything in my life is really good.
Besides, tuition is expensive.
Don't say that. I can help you pay for it.
Think about it.
Hmm.
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
I wanna show you something.
Ta-da. It's 350,000 won.
Geon paid me for that bedside table. See?
Now, I'll have enough to buy you a scarf.
That's right. Let's finish our meal.
Mm.
Mm! Mm! Mm!
- This is a neighboring house. Number 56-9. - Mm.
They want this wall rebuilt. It sits between the two houses.
Here.
Um, you mean, this?
This wall?
Oh. Yeah, I see.
We have the bidding result for the complex cultural space.
O3.
See? I told you she'd get it.
- Oh, you may proceed. - Sure.
Will they stop complaining if we fix it?
Hold on. Let me text her. Eun-o's gonna love this.
Sure.
COMPLEX CULTURAL CENTER DESIGNER TEAM LEADER: PARK JAE-WON
You knew that I was looking for you for a year.
You heard it from Rin-i and Kyeong-jun, but you did nothing about it.
LEE EUN-O
O THREE
I found nothing when I searched for "Yoon Seon-a."
I found a book someone I know used to read.
Bratislava, Poznań,
Trieste, and Riga.
Due to their unfamiliar names, these cities sound more romantic.
He wanted to walk the streets of Europe together.
How are you doing?
I'm doing great.
What?
You said you got over it.
Tonight, I'm reminded of the memories that radiated
and dissipated like a midsummer night's dream.
My proposals have been rejected, and I haven't received any job offers.
Despite the endless worries
that have made me gloomy, I can still hang on
thanks to the memories of dancing in the rain like a kid.
Those memories make me smile once again.
Lee Eun-o, you can do it.
I'm a grumpy person.
But I become gentle when I fall in love.
What are you like when you're in love?
But when they come back, they forget about it and just move on.
So did you get over me?
I was just a memory for you?
You know nothing about me.
My feelings and thoughts, what I like.
You don't know one single thing.
Jump ropes? Nighttime workout?
Well, look who's talking.
There's a package downstairs.
Why didn't you get it?
Because…
it was for you.
What, are you serious?
- What? - What? Shit.
Ah! What did I do?
What? O3?
Ah! This is Seon-a's… I mean, Eun-o's car.
No, this is unbelievable.
I mean…
Seriously. How… Why did it have to be hers?
Ah, no way.
Jae-won, you lunatic.
How could you…
How do I…
Should I… Ah… Wait.
I should call her.
What should I say? Ah, I'm going crazy.
Hello?
I'm really sorry, but I…
No. It's Park Jae-won calling.
I was parking, and I think…
I bumped into your car. You should come and check.
It's nothing serious.
It's just a scratch.
It's really tiny. Tiny.
You kidding me? How is that a tiny scratch?
What?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. - Let me see.
How is that a tiny scratch?
You could barely see it if you're looking from a distance.
- Hang up now. - Oh…
Hey. Your car looks fine, but mine is just so messed up now.
"Messed up"? Come on. Seriously. How is it "messed up"?
And you know what, you should have parked a bit closer to the…
- This is my parking spot. - Yes, you're absolutely right.
And because you live here, you should've at least parked a bit closer to the curb.
Now you're saying this is my fault? Seriously?
My parallel parking was flawless.
You're right, it's all my fault.
You did nothing wrong. It's my fault.
It's my fault for coming here and bumping your car like that.
It's my fault for being the Park Jae-won
- and for having you as my ex-wife. - Seriously? "Ex-wife"? Hey.
- Don't say that to me. - And why not? It's no lie.
When I asked you to marry me, you even demanded a proposal.
Does it bother you?
- So, so sick of all this. - "Sick"?
You're sick of all this?
Ah! Why did you have to lead me on?
You had a hidden motive, all along.
Pointing to the field and talking about getting coffee on a rainy day
as you convinced me to get a driver's license.
You could've just not fallen for me when I was talking about those things.
You think you didn't try to seduce me? Of course, you did.
You were way more passionate about the whole thing.
Oh, yeah. Was I? Then why did you grab my hand at the party, huh?
I was perfectly fine until you reached out for my hand.
It was a game, that's all. I just wanted the prize, okay?
Coincidentally, you were right in front of me!
So I reached out and grabbed your arm since you were the closest!
Wah. So if it was another girl, you would've just grabbed her arm instead,
- is that it? - Oh, what? You're jealous?
- Of course, you are. - Not true.
Just pay for it.
I'll… I'll… I'll call the insurance.
No, forget it. How much is it? How much?
- Are you showing off that you're rich? - How could you…
Ah! They said you used to be kindhearted.
- But now, you're just so weird. - Well, look who's talking.
You were so chilled back and relaxed, but now, you're just obsessive.
Obs… Well, this is all because of you!
Where is the kindhearted Eun-o I heard about?
Forget Seon-a. Where's Lee Eun-o?
Right here. What are you gonna do about it, huh?
No, no. You're not kind in any way.
I bet you've always been this mean.
- I bet Kyeong-jun didn't know. - Move your freaking car.
Fine. I'll move my freaking car.
Jeez, you're horrible.
Just leave already, you punk.
Why did you kick my--
Hey.
This is…
This is our wedding ring. I threw it…
I threw it away in Cheonggyecheon. How did you…
Huh? Where is it?
What is that?
Is it your ring?
- No, no. - Ah…
The rings on your necklace, they're our wedding rings.
- Am I right about that? - No.
What are you talking about? They are. Let me see.
- I said… I said no. - Let me see.
It's not ours. Okay?
I was right.
They're ours.
I'm right.
Give them back.
I threw this away in Cheonggyecheon. Why do you have it?
- Give them back to me! - Hey.
What's your deal?
Why are you doing this to me, huh?
Huh?
These are our wedding rings.
You didn't throw yours away.
You didn't move on. Tell me. Hmm?
I found out every single thing.
What are you saying right now?
You had my cameras and printed all of our pictures.
Now these rings?
They are our wedding rings. And you had yours all along.
Eun-o, what's going on? Huh?
Tell me what your true feelings are here because I'm going mad!
Can't you just pretend I never existed?
I…
It's just that I really don't want our friends to find out about us.
Your fake identity is really that embarrassing to you?
Coincidentally, you're Kyeong-jun's cousin.
Yeah, okay, you're right. But so what if he's my cousin, huh?
Why would we have to end things because of that?
Can't you just break up with me?
Do you really mean it?
You don't.
I can tell.
Tell me.
Look at me.
Huh? Eun-o.
Hey, Eun-o.
When you went to Cheonggyecheon to find my ring, what were you thinking?
You thought of me.
You…
still love--
Mm!
I can't…
