Episode 12
Let's not become people who can't even be friends.
Let's go back
to the place where we had fun and were happy in.
Choi Won.
Won.
Yes.
When you went on the long trip
I was afraid that I had lost something very important
and that I got rid of Choi Won's place as my friend.
I thought being close friends with you again
was very selfish of me.
The long time that we spent together...
doesn't mean we must be lovers or be in love with each other.
I think it has a deeper meaning to it than that.
As friends?
Yes, as friends.
Thank you.
From now on, I'll support the relationships that you will be in.
Supporting is good, but please don't criticize or judge.
Okay.
Oh Ha Na!
Whether you guys are friends or not
I won't forgive you for being around Oh Ha Na.
Cha Seo Hoo.
Let's go.
What were you guys doing?
You were with Choi Won again after you fought with me?
Didn't I tell you?
That day, I saw you laughing with Choi Won after you fought with me.
Seo Hoo.
Shouldn't you ask first
why, for what reason, I was with Choi Won?
Just because we were together, you're being mad at me like this?
Choi Won is my friend.
That day and today, Choi Won was there for me as a friend.
You expect me to believe that?
Why can't you believe me?
Then, three years ago, why did you just go back?
Why did you just disappear, without getting mad
nor trying to clear up the misunderstandings like now?
No matter what anyone said...
even when my family disapproved
instead of choosing a long friendship, I chose you.
Because the memories of scars and the pain I received from you
didn't matter at all for me.
You're a person who I can't push away.
Cha Seo Hoo, you really...
I'm sorry.
Team Leader Oh, I reported everything regarding ChaAndy shoes
so give us a date of when the shoes will be released for sale.
And other than that, tell her the status of the performance?
- Okay. - Well, then.
The shoes from the collaboration project
are planned to be released for sale next week, beginning with the mall.
The benefit concert will be next month...
Cha Seo Hoo's benefit concert
may be canceled depending on the world tour schedule
so Team Leader Oh Ha Na, from today, please withdraw.
What?
I don't like repeating the same thing twice.
Is this something you discussed with Cha Seo Hoo, himself, as well?
The director of the agency is me.
Even if you are the director
isn't the agency maintained by the artist's talent and reputation?
There are interviews that he did regarding this project
but if you change your decision, what happens to Cha Seo Hoo's reputation?
What did you say?
Do you think that becoming a person
who's not even able to keep a small promise because of a world tour
will really help?
Are you giving me advice right now?
It's not an advice. It's just that I don't understand.
There are many things in this world that you can't understand.
Where I am, those exceptions are not accepted.
Please reconsider.
Ah yes, Seo Hoo.
I understand what you're saying.
I'm not going on the world tour.
It's just Director Min's thoughts, not mine.
I've performed enough for three years, and I came here to rest.
Please continue with the plans for the benefit concert.
Okay.
Among the first class passengers today, there's a terminal cancer patient.
He'll be accompanied by a guardian, along with a doctor.
In case of an emergency, there may be requests for special care
so I ask you for your cooperation.
Okay.
Teacher.
Do you not remember me? I'm Choi Won.
Dong Bang High School 10th grade, class 1, number 43.
Oh, Choi Won!
Teacher.
Are you a loner? It's lunch time.
How come you're not even eating and just staring out the window?
You like her, right?
No, I don't.
What do you mean you don't?
Since I don't even have anyone to eat with, do you want to eat with me?
No, I don't want to.
If I eat with you, I'll have an upset stomach.
You're good at writing scenarios.
Who's the main character's friend
the girl that the friend liked, and the guy that liked the girl?
I'm curious.
I think I might know the answer.
It's the mind-reading skills I discovered from being a teacher for a long time.
Don't starve because you don't have a mother.
If you're hungry, come to me.
I can do that much for a guy with writing talent.
Thank you.
But don't be a writer. You'll be hungry.
I remember. Do you still write?
No, since I met you here, you haven't become a writer, right?
Yes, you remember.
I should have visited you. I'm sorry.
What are you sorry about? We just happen to run into each other.
Is there anything else you need?
- No. - This trip
is also for our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary.
Oh, I see.
Wait a moment, please.
What are you doing, Senior?
A special present.
What is this, Won?
It's a present for you to have a fun trip.
Oh my, it's really pretty.
Because of you, we'll have a perfect trip.
I'll look forward to serving you again for your next trip.
The scenario that you wrote should be at home. Take it.
You still have that?
Okay, I'll visit your house soon.
Okay.
Won.
You must live every moment without any regrets.
I really want you to.
Yes, Teacher.
As expected, Choi Won is unique.
Anyone can act like that.
Would you like some cake too, So Eun?
No thanks.
He always acts weirdly like that.
He's not acting weirdly. He's being clever.
Ah, yes, yes. What can I say? Seriously.
- Is this also buy one, get one free? - Yes, it's buy one, get one free.
- Do you not like it? - This part is keep going like this.
Is there anything I can help you with?
Wait a second.
Will you please bring a small table and chairs, please?
Yes.
Why? What are you trying to do?
We sold a lot.
The effect of Cha Seo Hoo's autographs is great.
As many as they're sold, shoes are sent to the less fortunate children, right?
- Yes. - It's a nice idea.
When we donate the shoes, you'll also get your pictures taken and do interviews.
I'll leave everything up to you and follow you.
Thank you.
This is refreshing.
Let's get out now.
I have something I want to say.
Say it here. It's comfortable and nice.
It's not something I can say in this kind of atmosphere.
We still have a long time before we can get our money's worth.
It's only been two hours.
Are you really that comfortable around me?
So far, we've only met twice, and first, it was gamjatang restaurant
and today, it's a spa.
Doesn't this lack tension?
I don't think this is going to work out since we have different tastes.
Let's not see each other anymore.
If it doesn't work out, we can make it work.
Let's go somewhere you want to go next time then.
Did you not just hear me?
Let's break up!
Do I really have to say these kinds of words at a spa?
First, let's eat, then we'll think about it.
Next time, don't put on makeup.
You're prettier when you don't have any makeup on.
I don't like boiled eggs!
Mi Hyang!
[Ladies]
Mi Hyang! [Ladies]
Mi Hyang!
Do you even know where this is?
Let's meet over there later.
No thank you. Don't call me.
I'll call you.
Hey, hey!
This. What's this? What is all this?
I'm going to cook for my lovely family.
Why are you cooking?
No, no! Don't do it!
I mean...
You don't have to do that.
I was sad that I've been causing troubles for my parents.
Ha Na, can't I just do it?
Shouldn't you just wash up and wait patiently, then eat the delicious food?
Look forward to my cooking. I memorized all the recipes.
Memorizing doesn't mean you can cook.
Taste comes from the cook's skills.
Won!
What's wrong? You're scaring me.
My sister is cooking right now.
You wouldn't want to eat it either, right? I don't want to eat it either.
So let's buy something and eat.
But of course, you're going to pay.
What are you doing? I want to eat a home-cooked meal.
I'm hungry.
Do you really think what my sister makes will be like a home-cooked meal?
When I was sick last time, she made me porridge.
It was actually pretty good.
I think you're the only one who takes my sister's side.
Actually...
I have a secret that I can't tell my parents.
What is it, again?
The director of the agency that the jerk who ran away is in
came to Korea.
There are words going around saying she's very rich or whatever.
I heard there's also a scandal going around.
Really?
Just by sharing what I only know with you, I feel much better.
This kid.
How on earth would anyone be able to taste this?
This is so small. You can finish it in one bite!
First, we can eat this, then, we can eat another meal again. What's the problem?
The quality of the food is upon the taste more than quantity.
Let's eat.
This is surprisingly well-seasoned and everything.
Really?
It's surprisingly good. My daughter's good at cooking!
Can we have seconds?
Of course, Dad!
But what's wrong with everyone?
What do you mean it's surprising to see me cooking?
How low of an expectation did you have?
Whenever you cook, I feel a little disappointed.
I'm sure Mom is going to make me clean up afterwards.
Isn't that obvious?
All you do at home is just play and eat. You don't do anything...
Okay, okay, I understand.
Dishwashing, vacuuming, throwing away the trash... I'll do it all.
While you're at it, clean the bathroom and the master bedroom as well.
Will eating just this much food be enough to do all those chores?
Do you want more?
Okay.
Good boy.
Eat.
This is good.
Yes, I told you it's good.
[Teacher Park Young Soo passed away on the morning of July 30th.]
[Funeral Service at Han River Hospital Mortuary.]
Thank you for coming.
You guys are graduates of Dong Bang High School, right?
Yes.
Can you write down your graduation year and your names, please?
Oh, I remember you. You're a flight attendant, right?
Yes, how did you...
My father was happy to meet a former student of his
while traveling abroad a while ago.
If you have the time, can I invite you to 'A Day with Alumni'?
I'm also teaching at a school.
Yes, of course.
Call me anytime.
Let me know if you need anything.
It's good seeing you often
but it's a bit uncomfortable seeing you in these kinds of places.
It's been a while since I've visited him, too.
I feel sorry.
Won, you said you met him on the airplane?
Yes, while he was traveling with his wife.
He was fighting with cancer for ten years.
It must have been really hard for him.
Now that I'm in my thirties, there are so many weddings and funerals to attend.
Thankfully, the only funeral of acquaintances that I've attended are
those of Dae Yoon from high school and Teacher Park Young Soo from today.
Oh, Dae Yoon. Right.
I remember. You guys were close.
Yes.
From the teacher's belongings, there are things for his former students.
You guys should go get it.
Hey, Ha Na. Do you remember Dae Yoon?
Dae Yoon? Yes, well, a little bit.
A little? He liked you a lot.
Really? I didn't know.
There were a lot of gossips about me in high school.
The teacher's family was disappointed that not a lot of his former students came.
Well, everyone is busy with their lives after they have graduated.
What teacher? They're already busy taking care of their friends and families.
Let's leave right now.
I'm Kang Na Young.
Hey, mine's not there!
What?
Did you take it?
You weren't that involved in club activities
because you were busy dating Jung Mee.
Chang Soo, you're here.
Teacher must have already known that you guys are going to get married.
Yes.
What were you looking at with a blank stare?
[Summer Days]
Oh yeah, you wanted to be a movie director, right?
You said you have an appointment with someone?
Yes, you?
I also have somewhere to go.
An unexpected visit is not welcomed.
It's the same as three years ago.
It's so boring. Same girl, same decisions.
But still, the fact that I came here is a change.
Oh, did Cha Seo Hoo's fame change as well?
I would like to end our contract peacefully.
You came to Top Classic for power
but after you gained power
you think I'm the expert in love or something?
I made the promise with you for Oh Ha Na.
Then, if I get rid of Oh Ha Na from Cha Seo Hoo
will you be able to keep our promise?
What do you mean?
Three years ago
the actual reason why you couldn't make it to your engagement ceremony...
What if I tell everyone?
Will you leave? This is my personal space.
Oh Ha Na.
Why her?
Well, I did like you for your immaturity.
Seo Hoo, I'm almost there.
I'm glad you came.
Did something happen?
I was in a bad mood, but I feel better after seeing you.
What happened?
It's nothing.
Let's go in.
Do you want something to drink?
Never mind, since you practiced for over two hours
let's go out and grab something delicious.
No, I don't want to go out.
I don't want to do anything.
Did something happen today?
Nothing happened. I'm just a little tired.
Do you want to rest alone today, Seo Hoo?
You didn't even ask about how my teacher's funeral went.
Did it go well?
Yes.
[Eun Dae Yoon]
Did you give the letter to Oh Ha Na?
You do it yourself from now on.
I'll give up after trying ten more times.
But wait, do you like Oh Ha Na by any chance?
Are you crazy?
I'm counting on you.
I'm going to leave it on your backpack.
Hey!
I'm not going to feel sorry anymore
for not handing her your letters back then.
Finally, I'm able to be honest with my feelings.
I will leave the childish and immature boy
who couldn't confess his feelings back then
here with you.
Be well.
It's annoying seeing you so lethargic from the back.
Choi Won.
Does it look obvious that I have no energy?
Of course. Your posture isn't straight, but you're leaning thirty degrees forward.
I truly commend your observing skills.
It's nice having someone leading me from the front.
What about it?
I don't have to show my tired face.
There are those days when you have no energy.
Like having teacher's funeral and having a bad day at work.
Yes, I also like having you walk behind me.
Aren't you glad that no one can see your facial expressions?
Yes.
Did you talk it out with Cha Seo Hoo without any misunderstanding?
Yes, I did.
That's good. I shouldn't have worried.
Seo Hoo is busy these days because he has a lot of work to do.
That's why you're back early.
Show me the scenario that you wrote.
What are you doing?
Why did you stop?
There's nothing much.
Since there's nothing, show me.
If you don't show me, I'll be more curious.
Values in life get greater as you hide them.
If you don't want to show me, then fine.
I'll show it to you.
But you can't say you want to buy the copyright and make it into a movie
or use it as a marketing tool after you read it.
I'll analyze it critically, so wait.
[Graduated in 2001 Oh Ha Na]
Where was I looking at?
When did the teacher take this photo?
50,000 Won... 50,000 Won... 50,000...
Why are there so many events that I have to spend money on?
Next month it'll be at least 200,000 Won.
Try getting married.
200,000 Won is nothing.
It can get to the point where you spend your entire living expense on that.
After I broke up with my girlfriend, there's nowhere to spend money.
Is this a good thing?
For your mentality, look at it from the good side.
Choi Won's birthday is coming up.
Won, you should treat us out.
How about we go to a club? We should dance and find some new relationships.
It hasn't even been a long time since your break up
and you're already thinking about meeting someone else?
You're so old-school.
It is said that one love is forgotten with another love.
Anyways, I'm good with anything, club or street vendor
so just tell me the specific date.
I have to get permission by my wife beforehand.
Get your permission.
I'll just treat you guys out.
You guys can choose the date.
This is yours.
Thank you.
Iced coffee.
Americano. I like, I like, I like.
What was that?
I bought it. What is he doing?
Why did you call me again?
I told you I'm not going to see you.
But you came out, like this.
You're dressed like a pianist today.
There's someone I want to introduce you to.
Over here.
You two know each other?
Excuse me for a moment, please.
We meet in a place like this.
You feel uncomfortable because of me, right?
Why, because of Won?
I'm his so-called older cousin.
Don't you think I know what his feelings are?
I'm sorry, Mi Hyang.
What is there to be sorry about?
I understand both Won's feelings and your feelings.
Because I was worried about Won
I was thinking about not seeing Jong Hoon
but I saw myself going to him again after one phone call.
I can't even control my feelings.
But I like him so much.
Thank you, Mi Hyang.
What is this?
What are you so upset about that you would do that to an innocent machine?
Does it look obvious that I'm upset?
Yes, of course.
The angle of your arm when you pulled your arm back was this much.
If I get punched with this, I'll pass out.
Will you get punched for the machine?
No.
Everything seems to be going smoothly, but I feel anxious about something.
Maybe it's because it's hot.
Isn't it because there are only good things going on?
Sometimes ridiculous situations and ridiculous events make you feel relieved.
I know.
I'm very busy
but I'm also getting a lot of stress from everyone from top to bottom, so I'm tired.
And my body feels very tired, but my heart is at ease and I feel good.
Because we had our teacher's funeral
it reminded me of when my dad passed away.
He was on the bed for a long time
and around the day before he passed away...
he stared intensely into my eyes.
Like that, we were just staring into each other's eyes for a long time
but I really liked that
although, he immediately passed away the day after.
Yes, I remember.
You cried for a long time without making any noise.
You remember?
Of course.
Yes, even in those days, you were there.
It's the legend of our strong friendship.
You're right.
As compensation for those days of strong friendship
do you want to hit me once?
Are you being serious?
Yes.
All right then. Be prepared.
Where are you going to hit me?
Hey, it's not fun if I tell you that beforehand.
I don't think you should do this. I don't think violence is right.
You're not allowed to hit my face.
Hey, Choi Won.
It really hurts.
Were you actually going to punch me?
Of course!
Of course?
Of course!
Wow, really, Oh Ha Na. You're insane.
You're so stingy.
How can you do that to my face?
So my eyes were turning like this...
Thank you.
Won. I have something I want to confess to you.
What is it? Did you cause trouble again?
Today at noon, I met with Cha Seo Hoo, Ha Na, and Jong Hoon.
Really?
Their relationship must be going well.
Yours, too.
People's feelings are like that.
When I first found out he is Cha Seo Hoo's teacher
I thought, 'Never mind, I shouldn't.'
But because I wanted to see him
I was looking for an excuse to see him, thinking, 'Who cares?'
Don't think about the name Cha Seo Hoo, and just look at what you want to see.
If you're happy, then it's good.
Won.
Oh yeah, and introduce me to him some day.
If he's dating you, he must be having a hard time.
I should at least buy him a drink to cheer him up.
Thank you.
To my friend who dodged my punch...
[Strong Guys' Real Workout]
Don't get sick, stay healthy.
What is this, Oh Ha Na?
Welcome.
Dae Bok!
Isn't work tiring?
It's just my first day.
I should really focus.
Dae Bok.
Do we have to make our relationship a secret?
Well, think about it.
My sister's the Team Leader, and you're the Assistant Manager.
So if the word goes out saying we're dating
there will be misunderstandings, saying you got in because you had connections.
Oh, you're smart!
Just wait a little more. Once I get hired by a large company
I'll confidently reveal that you're my girl.
I'm not high-maintenance.
I don't need any gifts
nor do I need to go on a date in a luxury place.
I have a lot of coupons as well.
Do you want to eat some kimbap?
I can also buy ramen.
Sounds good!
Dae Bok.
Oh Dae Bok.
From now on, I won't call you by any other name.
You can do this! Let's go!
Choi Won! Choi Won! Choi Won!
Please come in.
[A Day with Alumni]
Next question.
When I felt the most rewarded...
there are a lot of times
but it's when I receive a letter of thanks from the passengers
or when the older passengers who travel abroad for the first time
give me black soybeans or a slap on my butt to thank me.
Did you want to be a flight attendant from the start?
No. In high school, my dream was to be a movie director.
But how come you didn't become a movie director?
My dream was very big, but I lacked talent.
Due to the reality, I gave up my first dream.
I think that's why I was able to get a chance to become a flight attendant.
Even if you became a movie director, it probably would have been really cool.
I don't know about that.
Do you have a girlfriend?
I have a friend who's a girl, but I don't have a girlfriend.
Then make your friend into your girlfriend.
No comment. Next question?
About being a flight attendant?
Then did you give up on that, too?
Now that I think about it
I think it's my mistake for saying that I gave up
in front of you guys, who have never even started to walk towards your dreams.
Rather than saying I gave up
let's just say I'm waiting for a better chance to come.
For example, I may be a flight attendant now
but if the chance comes, I might become a movie director.
And we can be friends now, but become lovers later.
Thank you. It helped the students a lot.
I had fun, as well.
I hope you achieve your goal!
Goodbye.
What is that you're holding?
[Summer Days]
You don't have to know.
You've had it for a month, hiding and not showing me.
What kind of secret project is it?
You don't have to know. I'm not going to show you.
Stupid.
Is the JM Global project going along well?
Yes, I'm receiving positive responses.
The JM project that you're doing can still proceed
but the benefit concert will officially be canceled.
Director.
We were leading that project.
ChaAndy shoes
was able to sell well
after we improved our reputation after deciding to work with Top Classic.
What are you talking about?
Even if we didn't work with Top Classic
the shoes itself was an item that would have had a chance of success.
Doesn't 'buy one, get one free' event bring enough profit?
There's no need for us to hold a concert.
I'm in charge of this project, Director Byun.
Did you get Cha Seo Hoo's consent to cancel the performance?
He should know about it.
Knowing about it and consenting are different.
This is the second performance that's canceled in Korea.
If you did this, Director Min...
what was the reason for it?
Well...
I came out after receiving a call from you
and since I'm not the type to just leave
I'll just get right to the point.
In the end, Cha Seo Hoo will choose me, not you.
What does that mean?
For Cha Seo Hoo to fall in love, to marry a girl, and to settle down
don't you think his talents are being wasted?
You can just date him for a while, then break up with him.
Is your relationship with Cha Seo Hoo
great enough to tell me those kinds of words?
Ask Cha Seo Hoo yourself.
More than anything else, I don't want to lose you again.
Because that's the reason why I came back.
Let's start over again.
There's no need to mention the past. From now on, I won't hurt you.
[Cha Seo Hoo]
Yes, Seo Hoo.
Where are you? I miss you. Do you want to come to my house?
Can you come here?
I don't think
I'll have the strength to go that far.
Where are you? I'll go right now.
I don't want to tell you where I am.
Just come find me, Seo Hoo.
There are not that many places I can go.
Honestly, I don't even know where this is.
I'll be waiting...
so come.
Oh Ha Na.
This is near the place where we fought last time.
It is.
I have to briefly go to Austria for a week.
To push back the performance dates
there's someone I have to meet and something that I have to do.
Who are you going with?
With Director Min?
Yes.
I'm going to come back right away.
Don't go.
What?
Don't go, Seo Hoo.
If you leave this time, we're really over.
It's for work.
I'm just going to push back the performance dates and come back.
Director Min scheduled it without my permission, but it's under my name.
If you must go, then leave and don't come back.
Oh Ha Na! What are you saying?
I don't have anything else to say.
While you're not here...
while I'm waiting...
I think I'll continue to have bad thoughts.
What kind of bad thoughts?
Whatever it is.
If you're not here next to me, I'll continue have those thoughts.
Even when you return
I might continue to whine and be angry at you.
Is there something wrong?
So if you just don't go, it'll be okay.
Just stay. Then everything will be okay.
I just need one week.
If possible, I'll come back even earlier.
You already decided to do that.
I understand.
Just go in already!
Oh my, what are they going to do?
Ha Na, are you back from your date?
Yes.
Last time, I scolded him too much
but bring him home next time so we can have a drink.
Okay.
I hoped that one day
my family would freely ask about the relationship that I started again.
But I didn't know...
those questions...
would be this sad.
[Graduated in 2001 Choi Won]
To my friend with a strong punch
[Summer Days]
[1999 Written by Choi Won]
See you in a week. I'll be doing the benefit performance!
[Summer Days]
[1999 Written by Choi Won]
Hello.
Ah, yes.
Did you give that up as well?
You must live each moment without any regrets.
I was afraid that I had lost something very important
and that I got rid of Choi Won's place as my friend.
Do you think there will be another chance?
I told you not to look so lethargic when you walk.
Choi Won.
I thought you would be walking home alone.
A while ago
you said you would never fall in love with me.
I will never...
fall in love with you.
I now was able to find the reason why you said that.
----
I think the recordings that I made when I was with you are the best.
I think you always make me the best person that I can be.
I need time to support you, no matter who you love
and you need time to think without me right now.
Right now, our relationship is just that.
I decided to trust Seo Hoo one more time.
How were you?
Why didn't you hold on to her?
What have you been doing, not even being able capture her heart?
Ha Na will be fine.
