Episode 9
[Won! I'm going to be late tonight. Let's have a treasure hunt another day.]
I didn't know it would make you this upset.
- I guess you finally remembered. - What was I supposed to remember?
The memory of us being in love?
Or the memory of you hurting me? Or is it...
The memory of you hurting me and acting nonchalantly?
That key chain.
How much you treasured that worthless key chain.
- That's what I remembered. - What's the use now?
What do you think you could do with those worthless memories?
I wanted to show you I haven't forgotten about your moments of happiness.
No. I have forgotten about all of them.
I have no happy memories from being in love with you.
In my memory
you're just a scar that has healed.
Never. I don't ever want to bring those memories back.
Then let's start all over again from right now. From now on...
I'll make sure I don't ever hurt you.
I'll now present my project proposal for Cha Seo Hoo and Tandy collaboration.
The first design is
a luxurious, flashy dress shoe that also serves a practical use.
The second design is a loafer made with natural colors and large volume.
The third design is a casual loafer made with navy and brown colors.
'Sharing a melody with Cha Seo Woo.'
This concludes my proposal to advertise his benefit concert and our new shoes.
Whether Cha Seo Woo will help our company or not
have you carefully considered this?
If you rush into decisions like this, you may bring loss to our company.
I started this project because I was instructed to do so
and I'm proceeding with it because I've concluded this will benefit us.
Will you take the responsibility if it fails?
In addition to that Chinese project, if you can't pull this project through
- actions will be taken. - I'll take full responsibility for it.
You really like taking responsibilities, don't you?
Good luck with Mr. Cha's project.
Sure. Thank you.
[Choi Won]
I wonder why he's not picking up. Maybe something is wrong...
[Oh Ha Na]
Firstly, the compensation of loss for canceling the concert
will be made by our company. Also...
the threat to interfere with our future concerts in Korea due to this incident
- seems to be a real one. - It's just as I expected.
- Pardon? - I have something more urgent.
Hello.
- Am I here too early? - Have a seat.
This sounds great.
'Sharing a melody with Pianist Cha Seo Woo.'
Whoever wrote this, it sounds like they have a lot of affection for me.
Our Chief Oh is very...
For this project, we'll be marking through story-telling.
Your concerts, daily life
and your other personal activities will be used to formulate your story.
Through this, we'll create an image that will arouse sensibility in customers.
Won! Choi Won!
Choi Won!
What's wrong?
Won! You have a very high fever!
Do you feel sick?
Let's go to the hospital. Let's go.
I'm fine. I'm all right.
Won.
Mom. I'm trying to make fish rice porridge.
What ingredients do I need?
Should I check in the freezer?
Yeah. We have some.
This and green onions.
Won. Take some medication.
I wonder if this will taste good...
All finished.
Wake up, Choi Won. Have some of this before you sleep.
Are you sick from drinking too much?
As your friend, seeing you ill like this all day makes me feel sad.
Have some of this and get more sleep.
This is rice porridge that my mom makes for me whenever I'm sick.
You look very happy for someone who feels sad.
Here you go with your abrasiveness. I see you have enough strength to eat.
Go ahead and eat.
Are you sure this is edible?
Just try some.
Let's run some experiments. Go ahead and eat.
- Soy sauce. - Soy sauce? Hold on.
Here you go. Try some.
- Seaweed. - Seaweed?
More?
- Tissue. - Hey!
- Don't eat this! - I won't. It tastes bad. Take it.
Choi Won. Are you feeling really sick?
What's wrong with you?
Also, I like beef rice porridge.
- What? - Make me beef rice porridge.
My goodness. Once he feels better, I swear I'll pay him back!
Beef rice porridge? My god.
I've been too nice to him lately. He keeps on picking on me.
Anyway, how did he get so sick?
- Where are you going now? - To Won's place.
You feel sadder when you're sick and alone.
I feel sad too.
Are you fine with me being by myself? But feel bad for Choi Won?
Everyone mistreats me.
This tastes so bad.
Do you think Won will be okay by himself?
I don't know. He usually doesn't go to the hospital unless he's really sick.
He doesn't? Why not?
Because whenever he was sick, his mom was never really with him.
He got into a habit of holding it in and resolving everything by himself.
It's unfortunate we had to go on a long flight at times like this.
- Eating well is essential when sick. - I'm sure Ha Na took care of him.
- I should go and check on him. - Sure.
- Has it started again? - I doubt it.
- She must have some pride. - No. You're wrong.
She heard that he's ill. It probably aroused the motherly instinct in her.
It's very possible.
Why does she like him so much? Honestly, I'm better looking than him...
- My goodness. - You need to go get checked. Cure him.
Sure thing. Go get checked at a hospital.
What's going on with everyone? I'm a pretty decent man...
What's going on?
Did you finish a whole pot of porridge that I made?
- I threw it all out. - What?
- How wasteful... - You should have finished all of it.
My goodness.
By the way, what was the treasure in our hideout place?
- It wasn't anything significant. - What was it?
A tub of ice cream. I finished all of it myself.
Maybe that's where you got sick from. You had a high fever too.
Maybe you have an enteritis!
I'm not completely feeling well, so you just go to work.
- By the way... - Go.
My goodness! Hey! Go to the hospital if you're sick!
- Director. - Hey.
- Hold off on Mr. Cha's project. - Pardon?
- I'll take the full responsibility... - I can't fully rely on you for it.
I've already arranged all the kids to come to the charity event today
- and with the event... - Completely re-review the whole thing.
This is how our company collectively feels.
I'm sorry you've come out this far
and we're not able to give out any info on Mr. Cha's collaboration with us.
- Focus on this soccer charity event... - Whose call is that?
Wasn't I supposed to start with an interview?
I thought the focus on today's event was the collaboration between Tandy and me.
You know I don't usually do exclusive interviews.
- Don't you trust me? - I believe in Cha and Tandy project.
I'm going to turn it into a success no matter what.
Do you have any unique stories behind your shoes?
Long time ago, I had someone who used to care a lot about shoes that I wore.
She said my feet need to feel comfortable to play piano at ease.
She always picked out my shoes for me.
This sounds like a love story.
- Is that so? - Then could I ask you who that was?
This is an official Cha and Tandy event. I should talk about that first.
I've just scored a goal. Aren't you going to praise me?
Save everything and praise me all at once when we're done.
How could we go all the way to Island Jeju and come back like this?
My goodness.
Stop it all ready. Why hold a grudge for so long?
For two days and three nights, you were fishing the entire time!
And I was just seasick the entire time!
I lost track of time. You should have said something.
Of course I said something! I told you several times!
Won called in sick to work today too.
What? Even today?
You've come all the way out here to find me?
It's because I couldn't see the person I need to supervise.
I'm hungry now that I've worked out.
We should eat here.
I don't want to eat in a crowded place.
I think this is my first time seeing you play soccer.
I like hearing the phrase 'first time.'
That's right. We ate, played piano, and goofed around.
That's all we ever did.
I wonder what else could be our first time. I should try to find more.
- Right? - There's no need.
There's a concert tomorrow. Let's go together.
Even when I listen to them now, I like the albums I made when I was with you.
You're the one who saved me this time too.
I think you always help me be the best that I can be.
- Aren't you touched? - I don't know.
What's even more touching is that
what I'm telling you is the truth.
What do you do when you wake up in the morning?
I exercise. I sometimes go running.
I see. You exercise.
Look at you! You look so tired.
- Won. Have a lot. - You're the best.
- I've missed your cooking so much. - I'm hungry.
You should serve Mr. Oh first.
Have a lot, Won.
It must have been hard on you, being sick and eating what Ha Na made.
She's fine in every other way, but she's just horrible at cooking.
She didn't inherit that from her mom. I don't know how she'll get married.
You're right. It wasn't something edible for humans.
If Ha Na hears this, she'll be very upset.
Don't tell on me, Oh Dae Bok.
- Did you have fun on your trip? - Don't even mention it.
He was fishing the whole time we were there.
Won, the picture you took for us at the airport is
our one and only picture from the trip.
Really? Mr. Oh, you shouldn't have done that!
Here you go again, in front of the kids.
Go ahead and eat.
- Is it good? - It's the best.
Maybe I should get sick for a few days.
How rude.
- There you go. - Enjoy your meal.
Give me your bowl.
Give me a lot of meat.
You've been playing soccer too much. Are you going to change your career?
Being a soccer player does seem more fitting for you though.
You must feel comfortable around me.
Are you nagging me now?
No, it's just that you look so calm in a situation like this.
What's wrong with the situation we are in right now?
You know better than anyone that
once I get obsessed with something, I don't care about anything else.
Yes, I know.
So you are talking about Ha Na, but not really.
It's not Ha Na you are talking about. But it kind of is.
I assume Director Min will fly into Korea soon.
I'm in my best condition right now.
Let him know this well ahead of time.
- Are you all right? - Yeah.
I don't know what it is exactly
but there are things that you can't resolve just by holding it in.
- Mi Hyang. - What's with the seriousness?
The necklace.
I didn't get to give it to Ha Na.
I don't usually meddle with other people's love life
but since your my family, I need to give you an advice.
You're acting very weirdly lately. It got worse when Cha Seo Hoo came back.
I can tell right away that you don't think of Ha Na as your friend.
This is something that you and I know. Something only Ha Na doesn't know.
I don't think this is the way to go.
Madam Choi. You look quite pretty today.
Hey! You.
Come on.
Come on, Oh Ha Na! You said you'll build endurance!
Hey, it's all because I didn't get sleep while I was looking after you.
No. That's not it. I'll help you build endurance.
- Follow me! - My goodness...
- What is this? - Feel free to be surprised.
I came out here to see you on purpose.
What is he doing?
Good morning.
I should work out here every morning.
Isn't this park too far away from your place to come every morning?
Who cares when I get to exercise with Ha Na everyday.
You think you can win Ha Na's heart over by latching onto her all day?
No. I need to look at Ha Na all day long
to survive myself.
This is genuinely how I feel. I don't care if you believe it or not.
For the moment, it seems like Ha Na trusts you more than me
so I'm just putting in the extra effort.
For now, I don't want to turn you into my enemy. Just like this.
It seems out of your character. Don't try so hard to be nice to me.
Whatever you do, I won't like you.
Ha Na not getting hurt ever again.
That's the only way you and I won't become enemies.
Hey! Stop running!
Are you running a marathon or something?
Aren't you guys going to work?
Whatever.
What kind of relationship do you have with Ha Na?
- I'm sick and tired of that question. - You never answer my question.
I'm going to start it again with Ha Na, but you're still between us.
I don't care what kind of relationship you two have.
I see. The only thing you care about is Oh Ha Na, right?
Then you should ask me why I went to my engagement party
but didn't show up.
What you saw that day was me not showing up to our engagement party.
What I saw was...
my fiancée crying in the arms of another man.
- Who do you think was more angry? - You're misunderstanding something.
Do you think Ha Na is mistrusting you just because
you didn't show up that day?
What a cowardly bastard.
From the very beginning, you weren't fit to be with her.
If you're Ha Na's friend, make it clear.
I'm going to get her.
You... just stay where you are.
Are you feeling better?
- I heard you were sick... - Yeah. I'm fine.
- It was just a cold. - I see.
Do you want to go see a concert with me?
- So Eun, I... - If you're busy, maybe next time.
There won't be next time either. I'm sorry.
My goodness. This is so hard.
Hello, So Eun.
What is that?
Do you want to go see a concert with me?
- With me? - You weren't my top choice...
but I don't want to waste them or go by myself.
A pianist? Unless it's pop music, I would fall asleep.
- Maybe I should still try it out. - You should.
All right. We should go. I am free from now on.
This is so ridiculous. They're just leaving me to suffer by myself.
I was forcefully assigned to the project and now they're telling me to drop it.
See? I told you. You can't get involved with Cha Seo Hoo.
- I'm talking about my work right now. - Sure. Of course.
Just wait and see. I'm going to finish this project on my own. Successfully!
Try to be aware of your company's superiors too.
Why should she? Just go for it.
If it all goes well, Director Byun will take the credit
and if you fail, you'll take the blame. It's all very clear.
No. Not this time. I won't have a repeat of last time.
Well watch out either way. They can still get you if they wanted.
'I'll take the responsibility for everything. Just try your best.'
Are there any superiors out there with this kind of mindset?
There is none.
Lately, I've been having a lot of thoughts about our days in school.
Back then, it all worked out if we tried really hard.
That's right. But in reality, effort doesn't really mean anything.
At our age, we just age faster if we try too hard. That's the reality.
Oh my god! Thank you so much!
I wanted to pay you back for your amazing meal.
I've bought some make-up for you.
- Mi Hyang? - Hey.
Thank you for taking care of Won while I was away.
He bossed me around by exaggerating his sickness.
Won did? That's not very like him.
He never makes a big deal out of being sick.
He must have done that because he was with you.
He usually holds it all in. I sometimes feel sad when I look at Won.
You're right.
He won't ever say anything but just make you feel sad with his expressions.
He smiles whenever he's very upset.
So then whenever Won smiles like that...
do you just get everything? I sometimes don't.
So then...
do you know why he didn't go abroad to get trained?
Is he not going? Why not?
I don't know. He just said he doesn't want to leave.
I think...
you would know why.
I think... you would know why.
[Pianist Cha Seo Woo mentions about a past lover]
If you're Ha Na's friend, make it clear.
This is something that you and I know. Something only Ha Na doesn't know.
I don't think this is the way to go.
Do you want to come hang out with me?
- You're here! - Yeah.
I heard you're not going abroad.
That's right.
You said it was a good opportunity for you.
- Ha Na. - Yeah?
- Ha Na. - Yes?
I don't think I could hang out with you forever.
I don't think I could be friends with you forever.
I think my opportunity is right here.
Sorry, I can't be on your side.
What is this, Ms. Oh Ha Na?
How could you proceed with an interview without discussing it with us?
Even though I was told to completely re-review the project
I thought canceling an event on the day of
would damage our company's reputation too.
He was interviewed as an artist, not as a collaborator of our company.
People keep on calling us to ask about Cha Seo Woo. What should we do?
What?
People are responding well to the articles from the event.
Something about him feels very familiar.
I think it tastes better since we're paying for this with free coupons.
I'll eat this one.
I'm going to become a successful career woman like Ms. Oh.
Like my sister? I don't think you necessarily have to.
What kind of person are you?
Since you're her brother, I'm sure you're amazing too.
My parents respect my lifestyle.
As the only son, there are a lot of things I am responsible of.
- Just as I had expected... - I'll tell you this much for now.
I want to hang out at your place some time.
What?
Come in.
Hey. You're here.
- I enjoyed your performance. - Thanks.
- Was it good? - You were the best.
- We keep running into each other. - Yeah.
- She's the woman I like. - This is a new side of you.
This is the first time he has introduced me to anyone.
- He usually only cares about himself. - Professor.
- Have a seat. - Sure.
I'll be heading out then.
I'll be heading out now too.
- I'll visit you some other time. - I'm fine...
- All right then. - Let's go.
You must be really tired.
- Just a little. - What did you think about the concert?
- It still hasn't changed. - What hasn't?
Your habit of asking me a question you already know an answer to.
Did I used to do that?
You always did.
You knew it when I was mad, but still asked me if I was mad.
And you made me wait for hours, then asked me if I waited long for you.
I see...
We're not done with today's schedule yet.
- What schedule? - I need to pick photos for a magazine.
I think I need to work on this with the marketing chief.
Let's do that tomorrow. Never mind. Let's do it now.
Let's go.
I'll start going through these pictures.
Drink this. It's hot, so be careful.
I'm fine.
I'll take it.
- What are you doing right now? - I'm drying your hair.
That's hot, be careful.
If you get sick
I won't even have a chance to look after you.
So, let's not get sick today.
I'll pick out some photos for you on my own and send them out.
Why are you listening to a piano piece? You need a background music for this?
Hey. Doesn't it sound so elegant?
You know I don't care about a man unless he's young, right?
But from some old man
- I sensed an aura of young K-Pop idols. - Who is this?
I'll let you know after a bit more of fan-girling.
You're so unpredictable. You've already found someone to obsess with?
Do you know how important it is to fall in love?
You fall in love and act on it.
More than anything, I don't want to lose you again.
I came back because of you.
The memories I had with you are so strong and passionate
that regardless of who I date, I can't forget about them.
- You're late. - Yeah.
What are you doing here?
I...
have something to tell you.
Choi Won.
Cha Seo Hoo.
I had no control over him.
When I started things with him and also when it all ended.
When Cha Seo Hoo came back
I thought I could have a willful decision this time.
But...
I...
don't have control over my own decision again.
I...
can't push Cha Seo Hoo away.
Oh Ha Na.
From now on, if you are with someone else...
our relationship will change.
We won't have one of those cliche relationships though.
I need time to get on your side
no matter who you are in love with.
And you...
need time to think without me.
That's exactly where we are right now.
I'm going on a trip.
In my seven years of being a crewman, I haven't gone on an actual trip.
I always just took people from one place to another.
I've personally never went away to some place.
It's okay.
The necklace.
Think of it as a prize for the seventeen years of our friendship.
[One month later]
It's for two people.
I'm tired. Wake me up when we arrive.
A positive image was created for the artist.
And please take a note that people are asking for him to make a comeback.
From TV commercials to outdoor billboards
and from computers to mobile phones, media is going through a change.
With its systematized strategy, story-telling is the optimized method
that is responsible for bringing success to this Cha and Tandy project.
I'm almost here. I'm right out in the front. See you.
I, Ji Chang Soo, will take Lee Jung Mee as my wife
- and will love you with... - Jung Mee!
- You should have gotten here sooner. - What are they doing?
He's reading all the promises he'll keep once she's married to him.
- Their vows? - More like a contract for life.
She must be determined to take control. Their wedding hasn't even started yet.
She wants to make things clear before they go in front of their parents.
I promise you. I love you, my bride.
Stop it already. I can't take it.
Yes! Jung Mee! I love you!
Why isn't Won here? Was he contacted?
I'm sure he's coming to Ji Chang Soo's wedding!
Maybe he mixed up the date. Ha Na, do you know where he is?
I'm sure he's coming.
Try calling him. I'm sure he'll answer if he's here.
- All right. - Let's have a toast.
- Okay! - Cheers!
Choi Won!
Won!
Sorry, I'm a little late.
Let's not go home. Should we go on a date when we get back?
Oh Ha Na, I won't forgive you if you disappear like this ever again.
I'm sure there's something in there that is dangerous for you.
- Get lost. - Let's go home.
I don't think I could be friends with you forever.
We've been together for so long that
I didn't recognize the changes taking place in his expressions.
Perhaps I was afraid of seeing these changes
and chose to never look straight into his eyes.
----
It's been a while since we all gathered like this! We should have our own party!
I think we should be friends.
How are things with Cha Seo Hoo?
Don't worry about him. Just look at me.
I don't care how things are between you and Ha Na.
What was the real purpose of your long trip?
Staying by your side as a junior colleague
at least please let me do that.
