You're doing this...
because you still like me.
- That little jerk. - No.
Hong Ju. I'm glad I met you.
The hair elastic you left last night. It's in my car.
Go get it.
Yes. It's my favourite.
Let's go.
- That guy... - Hey, on the wall.
Are we done hiding now?
I didn't know you worked with Uncle Wook.
The company I work for is next to Rock Asset.
- It's that building. - That's why that guy...
I thought about it, but you can keep the hair elastic.
You can use it to tie up your bangs.
So that guy almost turned you into a carp-head yesterday, right?
I was incredibly grateful to you just now.
Could you pretend to know nothing, so I can keep being grateful to you?
I have to get back to work now.
Anyway, thanks. Nice to see you.
Bye.
I should keep pretending to know nothing about this too, right?
Thanks for your hand.
Goodbye.
She keeps saying goodbye to me.
That was a long bathroom break.
I didn't know you were here.
I was just about to come see you.
Does your heart still ache when you see him? It's been three years.
I don't follow.
Your ex-boyfriend just left the building.
Everyone here knows that.
Since when did you know?
Look at your sorrow-stricken face. How could we not know?
I'm sorry.
No need to apologize for your dating life.
To be honest, I don't want to know anything about it.
("My Avant-garde Lover")
Read it and get ready to adapt it for the movie.
Ms. Bae. I can't work on this.
You wanted a chance to produce the anime movie...
for the company's ten-year anniversary.
I did.
But you saw me how I was in there. So you must know I can't do it.
Yes, I did.
You practically said...
you wouldn't work with him to his face.
Ms. Bae.
You can't pick and choose the opportunities you get.
You all saw it, right?
There's no such thing as beautiful love in real life.
But who are we?
We are creators who paint true fantasies.
Everyone, if you have time for love, work harder instead.
Work.

I should keep pretending to know nothing about this too, right?
Thanks for your hand.
Hoo Young.
Hey, you're back.
What about Oddball? Did she go back to work?
Uncle, who was that guy from earlier?
Why are you asking me about that jerk?
His name is Bang Jun Ho.
Come again?
What did you say his name was?
That's Writer Bang Jun Ho! He recently published a book too.
My gosh! Hey!
Oh, no.

(Sender: Bang Jun Ho)
That guy is...
Bang Jun Ho?
I gave the script to Peter's Pen.
So you're determined to make it into an anime movie?
When you probably won't make any money from it?
You haven't wrapped up your novel yet.
And you need to do autograph signing for the essay.
I can handle everything.
I'm in excellent condition now.
What about Hong Ju? Did you see her?
Did she slap you yet?
Is this funny to you?
Gosh, you're such a jerk.
When you left all of a sudden like that,
Hong Ju came to see me dozens of times.
I couldn't tell her where you went because you told me not to tell her.
She was sobbing in front of me.
Gosh, it made me so awful.
If I were her parent, I would've given you a good beating.
Join the club. There are more people here who hate me.
I'm one of them, you punk.
I see.
Then should I sign with a different agency next time?
You jerk.
I will have...
script adaptation meetings with Hong Ju.
Do you think she'll really do it?
Isn't that obvious?
There's no way she can turn that down.

(Scene 2, Gangnam, Morning)
(Scene 3, OB-GYN Clinic, Afternoon)
That was all for Bang Jun Ho?
Yes!
Are you that surprised to have met Bang Jun Ho?
You'd be even more surprised...
when you hear the prices of the sofa and the carpet.
Gosh, you punk.
Did you know?
When I was in high school,
I wrote a lengthy recommendation for a book in the library.
- So they'd buy Bang Jun Ho's book. - Are you also Bang Jun Ho's fan?
Wait. You were a fan of his writing too?
That's not everything.
(Obok High School)
I should be accompanying you.
But I have a class to teach. What a pity.
Not only are you a medallist,
but you also represent the school in this interview.
No need to be so humble.
If gifted students like you are too humble,
it's even more annoying.
Everyone there is smart too.
But you're different.
You're the only one from a public school.
Okay. I'll get going now.
Okay.
Don't talk about me too much.
Okay.
(Obok High School Bulletin Board)
(Take your pictures!)
(Teachers' Office)
Gosh.
Which award are you receiving today?
I'm on my way for an interview today.
(The day of the interview for International Math Olympiad)
Oh, my.
(Obok High School)
Hoo Young, you're the pride of our school.
Thank you.
All right. Be safe!
Gosh.
(Kang Hoo Young)
What?
What are you doing here?
That's mine.
The class started. Where are you going?
Why do you care?
I'm going home because I'm sick.
Then what about you? Why aren't you in class? Where are you going?
- Seoul National University. - Seoul National University?
For an interview with the medallists of International Math Olympiad.
Is that so?
Come on.
You're dead meat if you tell them you saw me!
(Seoul Express Bus Terminal, 11:40am)
Hello. A ticket to Cheorwon, please.
Thank you.

Is something wrong?
(Mom: Is something wrong?)
I'm coming. Where are you?
(Cheorwon Intercity Bus Terminal, 2:25pm)
(Ticket Booth)
When's the earliest bus to Seoul?
- It leaves in 20 minutes. - I'll take one.
Gosh. I didn't know Seoul National University was around here.
- Do you think that makes sense? - Exactly.
What are you doing here?
I got on the wrong bus.
You're not even trying to come up with a good excuse.
What about your home? Is it in Cheorwon?
What was the school number again?
Hey. Come on.
We're both playing hooky.
That's a petty threat.
I'm not playing hooky.
I see. You're giving up?
I get it. Playing hooky is too wild for you. Isn't it?
I have a ticket leaving in the evening.
I see. Is that so?
Then have fun.
(Cheorwon to Seoul, Time: 2:48pm)
You're following me now.
Hey, I don't want to talk to you...
any more than you want to talk to me.
Why are you following me?
I don't know either.
Why am I following you?
What?
This stop is the front of the Jingyeok Base.
The next stop is Cheorwon Sam-li.
(Stop)
- Hey, let's get off. - Why?
You said you were following me.
(Cheorwon City Bus)
(Front of the Jingyeok Base)
Where are we going?
Even if I told you, you wouldn't know. Just keep up.
You're not going to a weird religious centre, right?
Maybe.
I bet your heart is pounding...
with excitement at the fun possibilities...
ahead of us.
It's closer to anxiety and concern.
That also makes your heart pound. The heart-pounding feelings.
Where are we going?
Over there.
(Jingyeok Base, the 2nd Division, Army, 3:32pm)
Wait.
Did you come here to visit someone?
No.
I'm here to confess my feelings.
Hey, what do I do? I'm so nervous!
Let's go. Let's do this.
For love.
You went to see Bang Jun Ho in the military?
And you played hooky, on top of that?
That was all for Bang Jun Ho?
Why?
With Oddball, at that?
Why did you go with her to see...
You!
Hey, you!
Your crush wasn't Ms. Kim?
You... Really?
Then you and my tenant...
That gutsy girl, Oddball...
Lee Hong Ju was your first love?
Uncle, it feels like my head is going to split open.
Could you keep it to yourself?
Oh, my gosh!
Then you postponed going back to the US for a week.
Was it to spend time with Hong Ju?
What if you end up liking her more?
Not going back to the US because of Hong Ju...
wasn't part of your plan!
Hey, I know you really well.
But you take after your meticulous mother.
You've never failed in your life.
Because you're smart, I know you were able...
to get everything done just like you planned.
Then you must have gotten everything you wanted in life so far.
Is being successful a problem?
Yes. Your problem now is Lee Hong Ju.
I get that you're acting like this because your first love was Oddball.
But... Hey.
I doubt you'll be able to have your way when it comes to her.
- You're not her type either. - Uncle.
I'm giving you my warning!
I'm giving you my warning now!
How did the blind date go?
Well...
If it didn't go well, go on a date with my niece.
She recently got a job at a company.
She's ready to settle down too.
She's only 25.
I just think she would be perfect for you.
Gosh. I doubt...
your niece will like me.
Goodness. She's my niece.
I'm not going to set her up with just a random guy.
Men like you are a gem these days.
You're kind, reliable,
and neat.
You also have thick hair.
But he has incredibly high standards.
Look at him. He didn't even bat an eye at me.
Gosh, no.
Goodness. My niece is much younger than you.
Besides, she's naturally beautiful like me.
Gosh. Ms. Oh.
Bragging about that is so outdated. Seriously.
Right. Could you relay this message to your niece?
When she gets her first paycheck,
do tell her to buy a package at a good dermatologist.
Mr. Son, could we talk for a second?
You know,
I wasn't going to say this because it would hurt my pride.
Why wouldn't you ask my friend out on a follow-up date?
Well, that's... I...
I'm not saying this just because she's my friend.
Hong Ju has a charm as deep as a black hole.
Once you're in, you can't get out. Hence the name, black hole.
I can vouch for her.
I'm the proof.
I haven't been able to escape from her charm for ten years.
Ms. Kim, but...
Hong Ju told me she wasn't interested in dating.
What? Hong Ju thinks...
you're not interested in her.
What? There was a misunderstanding between you two.
Mr. Son, contact her quickly.
Well, actually, the truth is...
Let's go.
Right. Mr. Son.
You cannot go on another blind date. Okay?
Her family is weird.
Okay.
(Peter's Pen)
Gosh. This car again?
How many times must I tell her she can't park here?
Come on.
(This Woman)
The person you reached is unavailable. You will be directed...
- to voicemail after the tone. - Okay. You won't answer your phone?
Should I just ram into her car?
I told her not to park...
(Baek Do Seon)
Hey, what's up?
Did you see the data Mr. Kang put together?
Yes.
I didn't see a single error.
What more does he need to review that he's staying?
I didn't like it from the start.
It's so obvious he knows he's smart.
I must admit that he is smart.
Hey.
So what if he's smart?
I bet his head's filled with nothing but numbers.
So this is what happened?
(Lee Hong Ju, first love, ex-boyfriend)
(Bang Jun Ho! Piece of trash)
What the heck?
- Darn it. - Hello, sir.
He should've told me.
Hey.
What's up with you?
- What about me? - You got promoted.
You didn't know?
Should I congratulate you or not?
The new office is linked to a huge Korean family.
It's not final yet.
As if it's not.
Your mom wants you back at the head office immediately.
I'll handle it.
Where are you going?
At least stay for dinner.
Hoo Young.
Success or love.
That boring dilemma is back again.
Hong Ju. I'm glad I met you.
So that guy almost turned you into a carp-head yesterday, right?
I should keep pretending to know nothing about this too, right?
I should pretend not to know.
Hey, Kang Hoo Young. We meet again.
Are you off work?
We met because we have the same commute.
Property prices here went up.
I should've bought a building long ago.
How's the business you came to take care of going?
So-so.
When will you go back to the US?
I don't know.
But then, you never left with a warning.
Kang Hoo Young.
Do you want fried chicken?
Isn't it a surprise?
It is. How could this be?
Hoo Young you're really Mr. Baek's nephew?
You and I must be destined to be together.
I guess so.
We'll have a half-and-half and a Coke.
Why a half-and-half?
We used to eat one each.
I don't have an appetite.
You craved chicken, didn't you?
Shall we order more?
- Excuse me. - Yes?
- One fried and one with sauce. - Okay.
Why don't you have an appetite?
Did your boss nag you again?
Why would she nag me?
I'm good at what I do.
Then why did your 29-year-old appetite disappear?
(Crunchy skin, tender flesh)
What's up with her?
I wouldn't know.
Where did you two meet?
Outside work.
Someone followed me in secret.
"In secret?"
That could be misunderstood.
You were walking ahead of me,
and I was walking behind you.
You were going to ignore me.
After thanking me for saving you earlier.
You saved her earlier? Why?
I didn't know your leg was there.
My legs are so darn long. Sorry.
Lee Hong Ju, you...
How come you haven't changed in ten years?
What do you mean?
You're...
still clueless...
and still stupid.
You call me stupid to my face?
I took you on rides and took your photos...
all day yesterday.
And today, you said you wanted chicken.
I had a date with Hye Ji...
and kindly let you tag along.
That's how nice I was to you, and you say what?
That I'm clueless and stupid?
You're still a jerk, and I can't stand you.
Excuse me. Can I have a beer?
Three?
No, cancel the beer.
Ms. Kim, it's a Monday.
We agreed not to drink on Mondays.
I need to go to the ladies'.
Start without me.
Enjoy.
Hoo Young.
I might be crossing the line here,
but I prefer things to be exact.
Do you like Hong Ju?
Does she know?
(Oddball)
Why are you calling?
No, don't do this.
Hey, Oddball.
Something urgent came up at work.
Kang Hoo Young, it's your lucky day.
I'll let it go because Hye Ji likes you.
Why does she like someone like that?
Sorry.
Why should you apologize to me about how you feel?
Did you track her down on purpose when you got here?
We met by chance.
I see.
By chance, you're Mr. Baek's nephew.
By chance, you're Oddball's neighbour.
By chance, you met up yesterday,
and by chance, you met Hong Ju today?
Is that all really by chance?
There's one thing that isn't by chance.
Then since we were in school...
(Grilling Meat Again Today)
Welcome.
Hi, there.
Is this how you run a business?
You should welcome a customer with gusto.
How are you a customer when you're no good for me?
I told everyone I met...
that the food here is amazing.
If I got a commission per head,
I'd own a building by now.
What kind of logic is that?
How much commission must you get...
to afford a building that I can't?
Did you have dinner?
Make me something tasty.
I left fried chicken to come here.
Okay, I'll make you something good.
Hang on.
You.
I'll only feed you.
If you need a psychology consult, go to your friend.
My friend.
She's eating chicken with her first love.
What?
She's alone with Hoo Young?
Yes.
I can't stop thinking...
that Hye Ji's wasted on him.
This doesn't make any sense at all.
Well, it's not all nonsense but...
Hey, can I have another beer?
You can't drink.
If you won't date me, don't be so nice to me.
Okay.
Okay. This is it for me.
Are you staying in Korea, then?
You're going back?
Oh, okay...
You got so worked up earlier, so I thought you were serious.
You're just like me, though. Poking to see what happens.
Not really.
Do you know whose number Oddball saved on speed dial?
Neither you nor Bang Jun Ho was with her for the past ten years.
It was me. I'm her guardian.
You can't replace me.
This is on me.
You didn't eat. Take it home.
You won't get to eat this in the US.
How much is it?
I made an extra side dish for you.
When will you grow up?
I stopped growing in ninth grade.
You're stupid, aren't you?
What day is it today? Why are you all picking on me?
Oh, my gosh...
Poor, long-suffering Hoo Young.
Why is he a poor guy?
He's a spiteful jerk.
Pity me, a Korean office worker.
Why am I eating this good food on my own?
How could people work if they wanted to...
get drunk on a Monday?
They should give their livers a day or two to recuperate...
Darn it.
Drink all you want.
My boss.
She insists that I should work on the tenth-anniversary project.
Well, you must do what the boss says.
Who are you to refuse?
She'll make me the main producer.
It's all good, then. You wanted that title.
Yes. After ten years there, I finally got a shot.
It's been that long? Has your time come at last?
It was written by Bang Jun Ho.
Say no.
You worked there for ten years. You can say that much.
I finally get to be a producer after ten years.
What if you do? Do you get convenience store discounts?
Who will do it if I don't?
Why would you worry about that?
There are many others who can do that job.
I'm a founding member of the company.
I should work on the anniversary project...
Are you insane, Hong Ju?
You'll work with Bang Jun Ho?
You still aren't thinking straight.
- I'll call Hye Ji. - I'll kill you.
Darn you. You said that knowing what would happen.
- What? - I want ramyeon noodles.
I'm sick and tired of this!
(Mother)
Yes. Your problem now is Lee Hong Ju.
I doubt you'll be able to have your way when it comes to her.
You can't replace me.
You're still a jerk, and I can't stand you.
(Mother)
Come back.
Is he not back yet?
(Speed dial 0: Ms. Kim)
No.
I should leave them alone.
Kang Hoo Young.
Don't be like that.
It took a lot on my part to let you get together with Hye Ji.
There was a lot I wanted to tell her today.
Oh, gosh.
Goodness.

I liked your proposal.
It could do with some work,
but you chose a good book,
and you looked at it from the viewer's standpoint,
and that wasn't bad.
Thank you.
Give me your resume.
Weren't you told to bring one?
Here you go.
(Resume: Lee Hong Ju)
(Obok High School, Future graduate)
- This is it? - Yes.
This can't be it.
How little did you think of "Peter's Pen"...
that you applied with zero qualifications?
You said you were looking for people...
who love anime movies.
- That academics don't matter. - They don't matter...
as long as you have an educational background...
of a certain level.
People who love animated movies...
means people with expert knowledge...
in how they're produced. Don't you get that?
Is that so? I didn't know.
I should've been more precise.
Very well.
You can go.
Ms. Bae.
I'll do anything you want.
I'll learn. I'll try anything.
I stayed up all night writing that for the first time in my life,
and I found a dream.
I want people like me to see our animated movies...
and have warm and fun dreams.
Just thinking of that got me so excited.
And meeting you just now convinced me.
This is the place.
I want to work here.
(Turn "My Avant-garde Lover" into an animated movie!)
Did you enjoy typing this up?
Yes.
How much?
Enough not to know I'd stayed up...
and that the sun had risen.
("My Avant-garde Lover")
Hello.
Ms. Bae.
Ms. Bae. I'll do it.
Because it's Mr. Bang?
No. Well...
To be honest, I don't know.
I know I'll regret doing it later on.
But if I don't do it, I'll start regretting right now.
I'll do it.
I want to become a main producer through this project.
I'll take you off it...
if your emotions take over.
Deal.
Are you really okay with leaving like this?
Is this your answer?
My work here is done.
Take my car. I'll drive you to the airport.
Say goodbye to the staff for me.
Tell them they did well.
Did you say goodbye to Oddball?
She knows I'm leaving.
And...
she said goodbye each time we met.
Is that good enough for you?
That's more than enough...
between me and her.
Call when you reach the airport.
See you in the US.
Play!
Get someone!
- Darn it. - Here comes, Mi Jin!
- Shoot. - Nice save.
Hey, pick it up!
- Keep going. - Run away!
Come on!
- Hey! - That's it!
- Give me the ball. - Hey.
Tell me how the fried chicken date went.
(Oddball: Tell me how the fried chicken date went.)
Are you still in the middle of having it?
Hye Ji?
Ms. Kim.
There is something I must tell you.
Hye Ji. Is something going on with you?
(Oddball)
Kim Hye Ji,
you're pathetic.
- Let's go again. - Gosh.
Sir, can we stop playing this game?
Right. We have to get hit by the ball on the girls' behalves.
It's unfair.
You think?
Okay. I accept your opinion.
It's unfair for you to enjoy the experience...
of protecting someone with all your bodies.
It was cool when you threw yourself earlier.
I didn't.
No wonder why he's called Superman. He's obsessed with protecting.
Here.
- Over here. - Me!
- Gosh, what... - I mistook you.
- Give it to me. - There!
- Take this! - Hey!
Let's go.
- Hurry up and throw it. - There.
Mr. Son.
Over here.
Mr. Son.
May I ask you something?
Sure. Go on.
Well...
If...
your first love...
liked your very best friend, how would you feel?
It's a coincidence,
but they seem to get involved with each other like a fate.
If...
at least my friend found someone new to love,
I'd congratulate him.
My 1st love will probably turn 60 next year.
Oh, that's not exactly the reason,
but my friend is such a decent man.
I really hope he finds someone nice.
My first love is a nice lady too.
Since they're both nice...
Right.
I think it'd be nice.
What?
What are you saying?
Oh, gosh.
It's hilarious.
Oh, right. Did you turn down the blind date with Ms. Oh's niece?
- Yes. - You shouldn't have!
I'll tell her to arrange it again.
No, Ms. Kim.
Mr. Son. Forget that I asked you to meet Hong Ju.
Goodness.

(Kwon Sang Pil)
I broke the promise again.
I'm here to pay a visit.
Who are you visiting? And which company is he with?
Which company? Just a moment.
Here.
Company One doesn't reside here now.
I sent letters to this address until last week.
I received this letter from here too.
I can't check any details for you.

(Mom, Uncle Baek Wook)
I must be out of mind.
Why did I have to tag her along?
Let's go.
There's only one bus that comes here.
We'll have to walk all the way to the terminal if we miss it.
Why don't we have ramyeon before we get going?

(Ramyeon, Gimbap)
(Jingyeok Samgeori Mini-Mart, 5:25pm)
(Healthy Event, Healthy Milk)
You don't go to school in this neighbourhood.
We came to visit the military base nearby.
We came all the way, but we didn't get to meet the person.
It'd be bearable...
to think of not seeing him at all.
But if you couldn't see him when you knew he was right there,
it'd be devastating.
My cooking tends to be quite spicy.
If the ramyeon is too spicy, have some water as you eat.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
It's spicy.
Ma'am, this ramyeon is so spicy.
Your ramyeon is too spicy.
It's spicy.
Oh, dear.
Hey. Why are you crying all of a sudden?
This ramyeon is too spicy.
Should I pour some water in it?
No. It won't be as good, then.
Eat slowly. We have some time left before the bus comes.
Go without me. I'm sleeping over here.
But you know nothing about this neighbourhood.
I'm not leaving until I express my feelings for him.
How will you possibly do it? We don't even know if he's here.
I'm going to do it.
I'll find him and do it.
My heart is overflowing.
I feel suffocated because it keeps overflowing.
It might kill me if I don't tell him.
Still, don't do it. Don't profess your feelings for him.
Why?
Because I...
am going to report you...
for dating a soldier as a teenager.
You'll report me? Are you out of your mind?
He gave you the wrong address so you couldn't visit him.
You'd be rejected anyway.
It's fortunate that you couldn't see him.
Oh, right. You aren't rejected yet.
She hit me with that spoon first.
Stop crying.
Do you want some gimbap?
Ice cream?
Chocolate?
Then, should we...
try visiting the base again after this?
Fine.
Let's go and ask them.
Eat up. The noodles might get soggy.
(In front of Jingyeok Base, 7:30pm)
She kept sending letters to this address,
and she received replies too.
Bang Jun Ho is in the First Company of this base.
You got the right base,
but the First Company isn't here anymore.
I told you.
If they aren't here anymore,
it means they went somewhere else.
Tell us where they went.
I can't tell you because it's a military secret.
Then, could you hand the letter and gift to him?
Look. This isn't a janitor's office.
Then, tell us where he went so we can do it ourselves.
The First Company went up to the border zone last week.
It means they're up those mountains.
So, visiting is not allowed for six months.
Happy now?
Six...

Hong Ju, let's walk a little faster.
The bus might come soon.
I'm walking. Go on.
If he was going to a place where visiting wasn't allowed,
he should've sent her a letter.
What is with this punk?
Wait.
(Cherwon City Bus)
Hey. That's the last bus.
Hoo Young, run.
- The bus. - Are you okay?
The bus!
You should've caught the bus!
But you tripped.
That's not important right now.
What if we even miss the bus to Seoul?
Then, we'll sleep over here.
I'm not sleeping with you.
I never said that.
Of course, we'll sleep in separate rooms.
Goodness. I'm sorry.
A car cut in.
It's all right.
Can we arrive at the airport by 3pm?
Of course. We're getting out of Seoul now.
(Lee Hong Ju)
(Kim Hye Ji)
- Hye Ji, I... - Hoo Young. Where are you?
I'm on my way to the airport.
Hong Ju got into a car accident.
- What? - She's being sent...
to the ER of Obok Hospital.
I'm her guardian. What do I do?
I'll head there now, but she is probably alone.
Can you go there before me?
Sir, turn the car.
Take me to Obok Hospital.
You'll miss the flight, then.
It doesn't matter. Hurry.
Sure.
You have left the course.
Searching another course.
(Obok Emergency Medical Center)
Sir! Your luggage.
Goodness.
(Instructions for the medical steps in the emergency room)
I'm here for a patient who came in after a car accident a while ago.
Just a moment.
Check one of the beds on the left over there.
Hong Ju.
Are you her guardian?
I...
Yes, I am.
Let's send Hong Ju...
to her father's family or an orphanage.
Honey. We've agreed not to say any more about this.
That's before you got pregnant.
Don't tell her.
I'll look into where to send her.
(Autumn of 2012 when Hong Ju was in 11th grade...)
(at the infirmary of Obok High School)
You better go see a doctor...
and rest up at home.
Here's an early-leave pass.
(Early-leave Pass, Lee Hong Ju)
Can I keep this for later?
Hong Ju. You have a high fever.
It's better you see a doctor.
Why must I see another doctor?
This is a hospital too.
It has medicine and a doctor.
I'm not a doctor.
- Are you a quack? - Hong Ju!
Goodness.
Please don't raise your voice. My head is spinning.
So go home and rest up at ease.
I feel more at ease here than home.
You change sheets every day, right?
This isn't a hotel room.
It's not like I can kick you out when you're sick.
Hold on.
Hey. Why don't you leave school early at least?
No, never mind. Just stay here a little more too.
Ma'am.
I'm sorry,
but could you give me some water?
Hong Ju. Are you awake?
Hoo Young?
This is...
Don't move. You were sent to this hospital after an accident.
I was?
I'm saved.
Anyway, what are you doing here?
Wait. I was told to call them when you wake up.
- You need a CT scan. - I'm okay.
I wasn't hit by a car. I tripped as I was dodging.
Why did they call you?
Anyway, you must be busy. I'm sorry. I'll take it from here.
Hong Ju.
I'm really fine. You can go.
Stop telling me to go. I'm not going anywhere.
Hey. There's no need to get worked up.
I didn't want to bother you for nothing.
"Nothing?"
Do you still think it's nothing?
(Serendipity's Embrace)
Once you're lost,
what's real begins.
Are you a fool?
Stop flirting with me.
- Hey. - You and I are...
not-so-close high school friends.
Nice catch.
I've always been serious.
(Producer Lee Hong Ju)
Both now and ten years ago.
What in the world is wrong with him?
You said...
you would never change.
I'm embarrassed that you keep witnessing my ruined romance.
I'm rather delighted...
that your romance is ruined.
