#IN A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP
HOW IS YOUR LOVE?
WHAT'S YOUR IDEAL TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP?
- Hey, you can go first. - You first.
First, I should meet someone who really likes me.
You should meet someone you really like.
- What are you talking about, huh? - Huh?
Oh, yeah. You should like each other.
You don't know how difficult it is when you're a student
to actually start a relationship with someone who likes you back.
I bet it only happens when there's divine intervention.
I don't think too much about it, but it really is incredible.
We only met because the universe wanted it.
I don't have any expectations.
I've seen too many couples fight at the station before.
Oh?
They're asking you about your ideal type of relationship.
- Actually, to be honest, I've never dated. - What?
- Are you serious? - Mm-hmm.
You're so good-looking. How is that possible?
Anyway, I'll date soon.
Someone will show up one day just like that, without any effort at all.
Unexpectedly.
He's only saying that because he's handsome.
Do you really think you'll meet someone like that, dude?
Huh?
- That question for me? - Yeah. For the interview.
- We can be casual in this interview. - Excuse me, please.
Come here. Let me tell you something.
What's up? We'll be late. Hurry up.
Being considerate also counts. In my opinion, anyway.
Love isn't just about excitement.
Huh?
You see?
Kyeong-jun is an expert. Mm-hmm.
I always gave my all when I dated.
But now, I don't care.
Although, I still think it's one of the greatest things life can give.
You can feel lonely by yourself.
How reassuring would it be
to have someone on your side in this world?
When Seon-yeong ended things with us, I told her this.
"You may come to me whenever you miss your mom."
But now, I want to tell her this.
"Wander around and do what you wanna do."
"When you're happy…
I'll meet you once again."
She won't know what I mean by that.
She won't get it.
It's gonna be like last time.
The construction got delayed because I had to move the stairs.
Honestly, we were worried about the delay.
But this looks better than before.
Much better.
I thought that they would make a big fuss about the change of plan.
But you pulled it off.
I'm proud. Good job, Jae-won.
They even gave us a box of tangerines.
I mean, what did you take me for, man? Come on.
No more changes, okay?
- Don't go crazy with your ideas anymore. - I won't. I know, I know.
Here, give me the keys. I'll open the trunk for you.
We don't need keys in this era, man.
Aim for the middle and use your foot.
What? How is that possible?
You never done this?
- Does my car do this? - Of course, you dummy.
Since we're here, let's check the townhouses in Gapyeong.
We can't. We have to meet with Eun-o.
Today?
Hey, you should've told me in advance if we had a meeting at 2:00.
You're the one who wasted our time by coming here
when they had offered to visit us at our office instead, moron.
And she can wait there.
- She's my friend, you know. - Hey, Kyeong-jun.
Here's some advice coming from someone with more experience in life and work.
What you're doing is an abuse of power.
What are you talking about, dude?
You're making her wait. That's a total abuse of power.
Okay, we'll get there.
I'll drive fast. Hold tight.
I came too early. They'll think I'm desperate.
I was hired already.
It's okay. Be strong.
- I'm no longer the stupid old-- - Eun-o.
The old Eun-o… wasn't stupid.
I was never stupid.
The old you. The new you. Both of them are Eun-o.
They're all you.
She's right.
Old or new, I'm still Lee Eun-o.
I may still make mistakes today or mess up the party tomorrow.
But it's okay.
I can do it.
So, in conclusion,
the entire event will end around 7:00 p.m.
Here are all the details. Have a look at this.
By the way, our employees really like the idea you presented,
the "walk around the neighborhood." concept?
Yeah. And we actually said something similar when we built this.
- "A place to age gracefully." - You're right.
The thing that came to my mind when I built it
was a zelkova tree.
You know how in rural areas, there's always one place
where neighbors gather to be together?
I understand what you're talking about. That's the idea.
Like a zelkova tree that's always there no matter when you visit.
"Wouldn't it be nice if there was a building
that I could stop by when I'm going for a walk?"
That's how I had this idea.
I heard that the main event is supposed to be like a casual talk show.
You think that the two of us can actually pull that off?
You'll just have an honest conversation on how you built it together.
The catering service as well as the performance
will also be really casual.
Yeah. And that's why we're gonna have a campfire and bake sweet potatoes?
Mm. This is unique.
It's great. I like it.
Mr. Park, could you step out?
- Sure. You guys can go on. - Okay.
Oh, yeah, Kyeong-jun.
Also, can you check if we can do a campfire?
- They might say no. - Sure.
Thanks.
Carry it out as planned. Just send us the detailed budget.
Eun-o.
- So? - So what?
I saw you. Eyeballing him.
- Is he cute? - No. Stop it.
Okay, so what should we do?
Let's see. Call the City Hall.
- Maybe they can lower the water pressure. - Got it.
And if they say no, we can think about adding a valve. Okay?
- And-- - Mr. Park. Just a second.
- Huh? What? - We're gonna step out.
- Where to? - We're gonna get pizza.
Okay.
- See you. - Let's go.
Okay, can you call the City Hall?
- Yeah. I'll do that today. - Great. Thank you.
Now talking about the balcony, we should do something about it.
Here it comes.
Ta-da.
Whoa!
Wow.
Incredible.
You really came up with this by yourself?
You'll like the taste even more. Please begin.
Mm.
You like it?
How much is the prize for this recipe contest?
- Five million. - You'll win it.
You'll win for sure.
What's going on? Why are you being so nice?
No, no. I'm not being nice. It really is delicious.
And the presentation is just…
just perfect. You're great at this.
So tell us. What's the name of this pizza?
Mm. I still need to think about that.
Oh, don't you worry. You've got a marketer here.
And a writer, if you need my help.
Hey, hold on a minute. Just a minute. Something's coming to my mind.
Hold on.
What do we get in return for naming your pizza?
Oh, yeah. Of course.
I'll… Let me think… treat you to all to a meal.
Mm-hmm. Hmm.
Then you could invite Jae-won.
Hey, Eun-o. While you're working with him,
why don't you ahead and make a move on Jae-won, okay?
I saw how you were looking at him. Trying to be all cool.
Why did you do that?
Time for an ad? Ah, do I have to?
Uh, let me see.
Okay.
Here. "Mix some water"?
How convenient.
Ah. All right. Just squeeze it like this.
Why do you think he gave me this necklace?
I mean…
What does it mean?
I don't know.
Hmm? What do you think?
Mm.
Oh, best coffee ever.
He didn't even leave a note for me.
Why in the world
was this in my suitcase?
He probably left it by accident. It must be that.
If that was the case,
she should have given it back to me.
Don't you agree?
- Is it even for me? - Yes, it's for her.
I bought it as soon as I came back to Seoul
to give it to her at Cheonggyecheon.
She never showed up there.
But I still kept it.
You know, I just couldn't throw it away.
I usually don't get so sentimental.
Yeah. Gosh.
It annoys me.
What's annoying her? I want to know. Isn't she too busy finding herself?
Honestly, uh…
uh, that thing about her finding herself? I'm done.
Huh.
You know what I'll do? I'll give it right back to him.
How can I possibly convince her that…
I did everything I could?
There wasn't even a little note,
so I have no clue what it means.
Does it matter what it means?
If I didn't write her a note,
it's up to her to interpret. Isn't that clear?
Should I call his number?
Mm-mm. I'm not going to answer her calls or messages ever again.
Guess who's calling.
Ha.
PRETTY IDIOT
Hmm. That's a no.
The person you have called is unavailable.
- Please leave a message. - What?
What should I do?
Isn't it obvious? Why would she even ask?
She should follow her heart.
Look at that.
- Wow. - Wow.
Kyeong-jun is just absolutely incredible.
He built this whole building. Isn't it great?
Yeah. It's quite a view, isn't it?
It's so cool that my friend built this from scratch,
and now he's hosting the event for its opening.
They'll even have a book cafe.
Geon, can you just imagine if one day that cafe had your new novel in there?
- What are you gonna do here, ma'am? - Me?
I'll be a regular customer.
Wonderful. Let's go.
Oh, wait. Are there part-time jobs?
It'd be really cool if I could work here.
How would you be able to manage four part-time jobs?
I can do it.
- Eun-o, your walkie-takie. - Oh, thank you.
Also, could you move the photo space outside?
The harmony between the building and nature is very important,
so you need to capture it in one frame.
- Of course - Great. Thanks.
- Can you check the videos upstairs? - Yeah.
Eun-o.
I'm going to check the area upstairs.
- Don't forget your walkie-talkie later. - Okay.
Wow. I'm proud of her.
Hey.
You clean up well.
I'm a bit busy. Be right back.
Oh, okay.
What's up?
Can you check if there's enough food and drinks as well?
Sure. Hmm.
- Everything okay in here? - Uh, yeah.
The acoustic band is performing on time as planned. So all good there.
And the separate events are going as planned as well, as you can see.
Uh, but I do think this room has too many people in it.
Ah. I'm thinking let's split them into two separate groups. Okay?
Of course.
This is the monitoring room.
Uh, please split the guests in Gallery Two into two groups.
Thank you.
And thank you for making time despite your busy schedule.
My pleasure.
Oh, Jae-won.
Oh, hello.
Sir, this is my son.
- Hello, I'm Park Jae-won. - My goodness.
It's no wonder you brag about your son.
The building is great. Well done.
Thank you.
- Thanks again. - Good to see you.
Nice to meet you.
- See you soon. - Hey, Dad.
I'm in the middle of something, so I gotta run.
- Okay. Go on. - Okay.
Hey, Uncle.
This is my girlfriend.
- Hello, sir. Suh Rin-i. Pleasure. - I know you.
Didn't we greet each other in front of my company a couple of times?
We've met a couple of times. Yes, sir.
I wanted to introduce her formally.
Well, you must know that that all he talks about is you.
And every time his eyes glisten like you're his perfect match.
- Did you know? - Oh, is that true?
I always look at you like this.
You still love each other so much after all these years.
- It's nice to see that. - Thank you.
And I forgot. What do you do for work?
- Oh, I actually-- - I remember now.
You're preparing for graduate school.
Kyeong-jun has told me before,
but I keep forgetting. You know what I mean?
Professor Min.
Hold on. I have to go, but it was nice to see you.
Okay.
- Mr. Choi. - I'm coming.
Not now, okay?
TALK ABOUT SPACE
Well…
it's true we faced countless problems.
But luckily, we were able to overcome them.
Thanks to…
the tenacity of this man who pestered everyone he worked with.
Our great team leader, the Park Jae-won himself.
I refuse to acknowledge anything else about him,
but his tenacity is the one thing I do acknowledge.
Hello, I'm Park Jae-won, the man who pesters all his co-workers.
Nice to meet you all.
Compared to the person
that I love and respect the most, our president,
as well as my countless seniors. I lack experience and wisdom.
That's why I have no choice but to be brave.
I believe in the phrase, "Sincerity always wins."
This applies to construction as well as…
when you're building relationships.
Therefore, I don't want to disappoint those who have put their trust in me.
I'll be here the whole time and catch you whenever you fall.
So don't worry. Just focus on the waves. All right?
You're my only focus right now.
Eun-o, please come to the monitoring room.
Okay. I'm on my way.
Thank you.
- Great work. - Thanks. Good night.
- You guys go home soon. - Yes, of course.
All right.
- Get home safely. - Bye.
- Hey, man, great work. You should go rest. - And you?
I'll stay here until they wrap everything up.
The field team will take care of that.
Oh, right. Can you give Eun-o a ride?
I drove her here, so she needs a ride home.
All right. No worries.
- See ya. - Hmm.
- Kyeong-jun, good work. - You, too.
Oh.
Han-gyeol, do you know where Ms. Lee is?
- Oh, I think I saw her outside. - Huh. Right.
Oh, what? Who? What? Man…
I drank too much wine, man.
Why is it so cold in here? Hey, turn on the heater.
Oh, it's already on.
Why am I so cold?
Are you guys listening?
Is there something going on between you two?
It feels like the mood is as cold as Siberia in here.
Did you two fight?
Shit.
Can we talk?
Okay. Thanks for dropping me off. Bye.
- Bye. - Mm.
Must be serious.
Hmm.
What did he mean by that?
Did you actually tell Jae-won's father
that I was preparing to go to graduate school?
That's what I told him
when he asked me about you.
Why?
It's not true.
Rin-i.
To be honest, when people ask me what my partner does for work…
I don't really know how to respond.
Just tell them that I work part-time.
What's wrong with that?
It's hard for me to say that. You know what I mean?
It just opens up a can of worms.
"Why is she still doing part-time work?"
"What was her major?"
"Did she even go to college?"
You hear that all the time.
Haven't you had enough of that already?
Yes. It's annoying to explain.
But so what? That's how I live my life.
I hate having to explain.
That's why I lied.
I don't want to have to explain to people who don't even really know you.
And…
it's been bothering me personally how you live.
What do you mean?
I think you should go to graduate school or look for a full-time job.
I'd like you to have a decent job, a profession.
Why?
Why would I do that?
- Rin-i-- - Kyeong-jun.
It seems like you don't know me at all.
Who cares what they think?
After all this time, haven't you learned that yet?
I want to pay for what I really need
instead of having all these material things.
I don't need to have something just because other people do.
That kind of lifestyle doesn't suit me at all.
And I don't want to be stuck forever doing the same job, you know.
If I make less money, what's the issue?
I like keeping it simple.
And I have free time to do what I want.
Don't you get what I mean, Kyeong-jun?
I get it. I'm just worried, okay?
Why would you be worried? I'm totally okay.
I work just as hard as they do.
And I really love who I am.
I don't understand how you can be so worried about what I choose to be.
You're okay?
- Yes, I'm totally-- - You got fired out of the blue.
How are you okay with that?
Then you quickly find another part-time job, so you can pay the bills.
You never know when you'll get fired again.
And you're okay with that?
I'm definitely not okay seeing you live like this.
Do you even know how angry I got when I learned how they treated you?
Rin-i. I'm not asking you to get a job that pays well.
I can help you with money.
It breaks my heart how people look down on you
and treat you so poorly.
Besides, you can't work part-time forever.
Do you think you can manage multiple part-time jobs
when you're over 40? Rin-i…
You can't live like this forever.
Okay, Kyeong-jun.
I understand how you feel.
And…
you might think that my life has absolutely no vision,
but this is how I live.
I'm completely devoted. It's what I want.
I'm working so hard
and doing everything I can to be happy, you know? Huh?
I'm not saying you're not working hard enough. But to the world--
I really couldn't care less what the freaking world thinks of me!
What breaks my heart is…
that's what you've been thinking about me all this time.
You think I'm a reckless child who just can't take care of herself.
That's what you've been thinking about me. Isn't that right?
No. Come on.
I thought you'd understand me.
I thought you gave me respect and support
because you're Kyeong-jun, and not some senseless boy.
If that's not true anymore…
or if that was never true…
why should we even stay together?
Come on.
Hey, listen to me.
Stop right there.
- Let's break up. - Rin-i.
Let's end this.
You don't like who I am.
You don't like how I live my life.
- I told you that's not it. - You lied about me to your uncle.
You don't even know why I left my mom in the UK and came here?
It's true I came back 'cause I was worried about Eun-o after she was gone.
But deep down…
I was extremely unhappy because of my mom.
She lied about me to everyone as well.
She told them…
that I was actually just her niece there.
She kept denying me.
We're done.
Please don't call me.
I…
still have no idea…
what kind of person I am.
I'm no longer Yoon Seon-a.
Once you find out the real me, you may not like it.
I'm still intimidated, clumsy…
and messy.
Yeah. You're right.
You're still discovering who you are.
And you're shy.
Mm-hmm.
And…
I'm not going to fake that I'm tough.
I really am scared and nervous right now.
But I…
I'll try to tell you about…
how I'm feeling.
I'm still healing myself.
I'm not the Yoon Seon-a you knew.
And I'm still not the best version.
There are countless things I still need to work on.
Are you still…
okay with that?
You see…
I thought about sending her a letter with the necklace.
But I thought it'd be better for her to interpret it herself.
What I'm trying to say is…
Eun-o, there's something you need to know.
The old Eun-o who was kind,
the Seon-a who I fell in love with,
and the Eun-o who's currently in front of me…
They're all the same parts. They're all Lee Eun-o.
The woman that I loved is…
is still inside there.
Are you still okay…
knowing that?
As you slowly discover who you are…
…I'll slowly learn about you as well.
I'll do what I can to love you more.
That's what it meant.
I hope she figures that out.
As for all the things you want to work on,
instead of getting rid of them…
how about we get to know them together?
First of all…
how about…
dating?
Let's find out how that feels first.
Okay?
Wow, I'm so nervous. And this isn't even our first kiss.
I know.
My heart's about to burst as if it were our first kiss.
What do you think romance is?
A journey of finding who your true self is.
I've finally learned how it feels
to truly love someone.
It was very miserable at first.
But now, it's much more like pleasant.
It's too difficult for me.
It's two people in a relationship,
showing each other their deepest feelings
their best and worst moments,
and striving to become one.
- Isn't that what it is? - It's crazy.
My mind is just blown to think that I was running away from myself.
Now I'm not scared.
I'm still a complete mess, but if he's by my side,
I strive to be braver and do things I've never imagined before.
It's unfair.
I admit that I was wrong, but I didn't want it to end like that.
I don't think there are any special relationships.
They can come to an end when you least expect it, you know?
My grandfather's letter is like a bridge between Rin-i and me.
It's this one.
I'll tell you about it one day.
And because of it…
our breakup is…
difficult to accept.
If there's a reason to break up,
then you should just do it.
Dating? It's much like a war.
Everybody knows it's easy to start, hard to end it.
For now, all of that is on standby.
It's not over yet.
Seon-yeong, keep dating.
Oh, don't just sit there, come on.
Once you've dated everybody…
come and ask me again,
"You like Lee Eun-o, right?"
It's an excuse.
So we can see each other.
We're officially dating.
What now, hmm?
- Hmm. First… - Hmm.
Call me by my name.
Your name? Lee Eun-o.
Eun-o.
- Eun-o. - Stop.
Okay, I'll stop.
Eun-o.
Shall we?
Oh, it's snowing.
Wow, it's snowing.
- Does Eun-o like snow? - Yes, just as much as rain.
- What else does she like? - Um…
- Sunny days. - Okay.
- Hot lattes. - Okay.
Cats' paws.
Oh.
- Taking a walk with someone. - Mm-hmm.
Sweet smell of lilacs.
- And… - And?
And you.
Park Jae-won.
Ah.
What?
How could Yoon Seon-a be Eun-o?
So Yoon Seon-a is actually my friend, Eun-o? That it?
Yeah. That's shit.
How is that even possible? You kidding me?
I would have known it… that before.
Last to know? Who else knows that?
Wait a second.
Let me make a call.
Why isn't Geon picking up, huh?
Hold on, I'm gonna call Rin-i, then. Wait.
Hold on.
Oh, right, I'm not supposed to call her.
She answered. Don't say anything, okay? Uh…
Hello?
I hear a man. Uh…
- Is this Rin-i's number? - Yes, it is.
Who are you?
Where's Rin-i?
