Serendipity's Embrace (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

[Serendipity's Embrace]
[Episode 2]
Gosh, my head.
I'd be crazy if I drank again.
Have you been well?
- Congratulations!
- Thank you for the meal.
There's no reason to give up.
This day came because we endured.
You know, right, Producer Lee?
Of course, I'm really good at enduring.
- For the success of Special School!
- Cheers!
Bottoms up!
Yes, I've been well!
What are you going to do about it?
It's Kang Hu Yeong.
Kang Hu Yeong is like a smart preschooler.
Ramen is the best for hangovers.
Ramen is best with dumplings.
Keep the dumplings in the freezer.
Keep them frozen. You know, right?
What's with this story flow?
I'm sorry,
but mine already started thawing.
No.
Really?
So did mine.
It's okay. They won't kill you.
See you tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning?
Gosh, you scared me.
- You came.
- Why didn't you answer your phone?
Did it run out of battery?
- Come in first.
- No.
Get ready quickly and come out. Let's go get gamjatang.
(Pork stew)
Hurry, hurry.
Gosh, I'm happy I'm still alive.
I get to have a hangover soup you made.
By the way, how did you know I drank last night?
- Just eat.
- Okay.
Wow, this is so unbelievably good.
What's with the dumplings suddenly?
You craved them, didn't you?
They don't have these in the US, do they?
What happened with the first love of yours yesterday?
- Uncle, the soup is getting cold.
- Yes.
I should have it while it's hot.
You don't mind me inviting a friend, right?
- Friend?
- Yes, she'll be right over.
- She lives upstairs.
- No!
Why are you yelling?
My heart is weak.
I only made two servings.
Enjoy it yourself.
I'm sure Lee Ddoong drank last night, too.
Gosh, you finished it.
I held back since you can't bother anyone when they eat.
What is it?
Where and with whom did you drink so much last night that you got so sick?
I was hungry and nauseated.
It wasn't just us last night.
It was to welcome Kang Hu Yeong back, right?
It was just the four of us. You said you'd come soon,
but you got wasted.
We invited him. Think about how he must've felt.
- I'm sorry.
- Don't apologize to me. Apologize to him.
Do you know how much I drank because you didn't come?
You forced yourself to drink just to lift up the mood?
Hye Ji, I deserve to die.
My Hye Ji. How come she's so precious?
Whatever.
So why were you late last night?
Jun Ho.
I'm a crazy bitch. I'm out of my mind.
I can't believe it.
You pay.
Do you want pastries, too?
You went to run an errand, and Bang Jun Ho was there?
I could've avoided him, but the director caught me.
So?
He asked me how I've been. With a smile, even.
How could he
What a completely useless bastard.
I've told you he'd be like that.
He's a rude, crazy bastard who only cares about himself.
- I'll call him.
- No.
So I said, "Yes, I've been well."
I've been really well.
You seem great, too.
I didn't even know you came to Korea.
Funny to see you here.
Gosh, Producer Park.
How was the movie? Wasn't it so fun?
I loved the ending so much. What do you think?
It was so smooth.
And as I started drinking with everyone
I'm sure it was smooth and natural.
Your eyes are fine, still.
Of course, they are. You think I cried?
How about you? Did you contact Kang Hu Yeong?
Not yet.
He's still as handsome,
but his atmosphere changed.
He's totally an adult male now.
Is he?
Well, he had to grow up.
He was really awful back then.
Kang Hu Yeong was? He wasn't.
What do you mean?
Don't you remember what he said then?
He's not handsome!
[10 years ago, September 2013, Obok High Field]
His face is small, but his eyes are long,
and his nose is too prominent.
That means he's handsome.
Gosh, you dummy.
Hey, I already delivered 10 letters.
[Men's Restroom]
- Gosh, you scared me.
- Geez.
♫ I always only believed in myself until I met you ♫
Kang Hu Yeong, this is from my friend, Kim Hye Ji.
♫ I believed there was happiness within ♫
♫ So you could achieve your dream, I'll teach you how to fly ♫
Kang Hu Yeong! Hey, Kang Hu Yeong!
Here. This is from my friend, Hye Ji.
Hey, get out of the way!
Move!
♫ So I can get inside your heart ♫
Kang Hu Yeong, this is from my friend, Kim Hye Ji.
I'm sure he never liked anyone.
How could he ignore all those letters otherwise?
Hye Ji, instead of someone like him,
how about you like someone who's normal?
Lee Ddoong, can you give up on Bang Jun Ho, then?
Why would I give up?
Let's send him a public letter so he can't ignore you this time.
Public letter?
Yes.
Kang Hu Yeong's here! He's here!
[Kang Hu Yeong, I'm waiting for your answer. From H.J.]
What's this?
Answer her!
Hey, hold on! I didn't get to take a photo.
Gosh.
How could you erase someone's heart like that?
I was so angry that I still remember it.
Hey, when we went to a fortuneteller recently,
she said I'd be living abroad. Remember?
Well
the one who said you and your ex were meant to be?
That was because he was wrong about the time he was born.
Think carefully.
Why did I become good in English?
I know. Because you liked Brad Pitt.
That's right.
Since then, I thought I'd live in the US after getting married.
- If so
- If so
- I can feel it!
- I can feel it!
Are you two close?
With whom?
The woman upstairs.
Lee Ddoong? We're really close.
We've been best friends for 10 years.
Ask her to be my guide, then.
Lee Ddoong? What guide?
I haven't been back in a while. I can't just leave.
You're leaving next Tuesday.
You only have three days left.
Meet your first love as soon as possible.
What is it? Were things not good yesterday?
Just say she'd be entertaining your nephew from the US for a day.
Skip the details.
Why does it feel like you're being pushy?
Is it just the way I feel?
You don't know who Lee Ddoong is.
I saw her going upstairs yesterday.
So?
Just never mind.
You said you were close with her.
So, I just wanted to ask casually.
What's the big deal?
That's why you should be in a relationship.
That's not even like carbs.
Yes, it's an essential nutrient.
Since you're lacking in the essential nutrients,
your whole body is sending a signal.
"You're dissatisfied. This is an emergency." Like this.
- Uncle.
- Lee Ddoong.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
Nothing, it looks like. Why?
Aren't you meeting your blind date from last week?
You need to tell Hye Ji for me.
I shouldn't be dating right now, right?
Right, you shouldn't be.
You're dating yourself. Why would you tell her that?
Ms. Kim, you're turning 29 this year, right?
And you went to Obok High School.
Yes, why do you ask?
Ms. Kim, did you have a reunion yesterday-
- What?
- Just get to the point.
Okay, give it back.
You're a funny one, aren't you?
Lee Ddoong, can you entertain my young relative tomorrow?
Your relative?
The one in the photo?
Yes, that kid. The kid came to Korea a few days ago.
The kid hasn't seen anything. So you can go wherever you want to.
I'd love to.
Tell the kid to count on this unni.
- Unni?
- Okay.
Come to our hangout around 10, then.
Thank you in advance.
Happy?
Uncle,
has she seen a photo of me?
Yes.
Which one?
How could she have such distinctive features at this age?
She'll grow up to be a beauty.
- Right?
- Yes.
So cute.
Why do you have this photo?
I want to have a daughter like this.
Lee Ddoong and Ms. Kim must've been classmates.
They drank together yesterday, too.
I just told you I saw her.
You just said you didn't know her. You acted like it.
- Me?
- Yes, you did. You, man.
How could you use your uncle to see your first love?
Hey, hey. I won't ask you anymore, even if you begged me to.
I'll go on a date, too, now. Hey, where are my clothes?
- Which clothes?
- The ones you wore for the blind date.
I'll wear it since you wore it.
It must be in here. Look for it.
Where is it? I didn't see it.
Go ahead and look for it.
The first love must be a powerful thing.
It even got Kang Hu Yeong to pull a trick. Seriously.
Why does he only want to see Lee Ddoong, then?
Who is it?
Lee Ddoong, make sure to bring Ms. Kim tomorrow, too.
It's Wook.
He's telling you to bring me tomorrow.
Really?
What should we eat tomorrow? What should we do?
Leave me out of it.
Why?
Where Kim Hye Ji goes, Lee Hong Ju goes.
Where Lee Hong Ju goes, Kim Hye Ji goes, no?
Hang out with us.
Kids should play among themselves.
I'm expecting an important plan tomorrow.
Sorry.
What should I do with the little girl?
What should I do?
♫ On a death, where shadows play ♫
♫ A familiar record led my way ♫
♫ In the distance, soft and sad ♫
♫ A dream I never could forget ♫
♫ Whispers of the past in the breeze ♫
♫ Now starts a new tune and again ♫
Niece.
Niece?
I'm the unni from upstairs.
Coming.
It wasn't a girl?
What are you doing?
The wrong person came out.
Hey.
Hey, why were you in Uncle Wook's house?
Because I'm his nephew.
You can't be. It can't be someone so big.
But I am.
It can't be you.
It was supposed to be her.
Why do you have that photo?
Because I wanted a daughter like her.
This is really you?
It's from my kindergarten talent show.
Why did he ask me to entertain an adult?
Did you know it was me?
I dropped you off at home on Friday.
See you tomorrow morning.
You were right about that, too.
- Quit drinking.
- Mind your business.
You should've said no if you knew it was me.
My friend said she'd entertain me. Why should I refuse?
Entertain yourself.
Let's hang out.
Are you breaking your promise like Friday again?
Let's go anywhere.
Hye Ji. Hye Ji. Kim Hye Ji.
[Ms. Kim]
The person you are calling is on another line.
Kim Hye Ji, of all days
Lee Hong Ju, you drive.
I can't make a reservation?
Not even just a foot massage, instead of a full-body one?
Got it.
Geez!
Why is Kang Hu Yeong busy?
I freed my precious Sunday to hang out with you.
Lee Ddoong couldn't have left already, right?
Kim Hye Ji!
Get dressed and come out.
Yes, nature is calling me!
Do you want to go anywhere specific?
You told me to count on the unni upstairs.
I was expecting a small and cute girl.
I know. I'd be okay with anything.
I'll choose a spot, then.
Okay.
♫ My love ♫
♫ Before I met you ♫
I heard there's a festival going on now.
♫ I wanted to live a fancy life, I believed happiness was there ♫
Let's go.
♫ So you can fulfill your dream ♫
♫ I'll teach you how to fly ♫
Isn't it fun?
♫ Show me your smile that's as clear as crystal ♫
♫ So I can get inside your heart ♫
♫ Show me your smile that's as clear as crystal ♫
♫ So my heart for you stays forever ♫
Why won't she pick up the phone?
[Lee Ddoong]
Please walk slowly.
Are you having fun? Are you happy?
Should I call up Lee Ddoong and have her leave?
You should have alone time with Ms. Kim.
Don't worry about it.
I should've given Lee Ddoong a hint.
I should've caught on.
Is Uncle crazy?
What's wrong with Uncle?
He's telling us to have fun.
He really is a fool for his nephew.
Are you feeling okay?
Yes.
The rides are kind of boring.
Is there something more intense?
Just go home. You look pale right now.
I'm like this even though I don't use any special skincare.
Whatever.
Being in a crowded place exhausts me.
- Are you exhausted?
- Yes.
I haven't come out to play in a long time.
On weekdays, I use all my energy working.
And I have no energy to leave the house on weekends.
It turns out I have the energy to play, too.
I feel like I'm on vacation, thanks to you. It's nice.
Let's go.
- Where?
- You're not done playing.
What do you want to ride?
Young man, do you really want to move on to the next stage?
- This is
- The essential K-food.
I heard foreigners are crazy about this stuff.
- I'm Korean.
- You'd love it even more, then.
As long as you aren't a coward.
A coward?
Try a bite, and don't eat it if it's too spicy.
You'll get heartburn.
My first love-
Spicy! Spicy!
Do you want to bet who finishes it first?
Look how confident he is.
- The loser has to grant the winner's wish.
- Start.
Start.
It's crazy spicy. Agree?
You can't handle spice.
Me? I'm good at handling spice.
You couldn't eat the spicy chicken feet at Sang Pil's.
I get less tolerant of pain when I'm drunk.
I guess alcohol awakens your senses.
- This doesn't count, then.
- No way.
You have to grant my wish, then.
I don't want to.
This is
You can't skip this when you're in Korea.
My gosh, I've never worn a hanbok before.
Why am I wearing the eunuch's uniform?
Come on. A loser shouldn't complain.
Follow your king.
Who's entertaining whom?
Wow, the mountains look great.
Let's come every week, Mr. Sohn.
I'd love to, sir.
- Mr. Sohn.
- Yes.
Did you make a reservation at the chicken restaurant?
Yes, I did.
Yes, they have amazing makgeoli.
I can't wait to drink the makgeoli after this.
There's nothing to see but the sky and rocks.
Why did we come up here?
There are so many pretty things down there.
Are you okay, Ms. Kim?
I'm okay.
Bukhansan is rocky. You need to be careful.
It really is very rocky.
Wait
you are wearing running shoes.
Are you okay? I'm so sorry.
Don't mention it. I should've been careful first.
I promise I didn't try to do anything.
I didn't grab your hair with a purpose, either.
But now I know you have a lot of hair.
Pardon?
Mr. Sohn!
Yes, sir!
Why are you so slow today?
Let's go down quickly and drink makgeolli.
Get going. I'll rest a bit here.
I'm okay. You don't have to worry.
- Get going for your career.
- Mr. Sohn!
You look strong, but you're so weak.
Come quickly, I said!
I'll be ahead of you, then.
- Hurry up, I said!
- Coming! Coming!
Gosh, what's going on?
I should be planning a vacation to the US with Kang Hu Yeong instead.
I have important information to share regarding Wook's young relative.
You'll be shocked. Call me.
How interesting can Wook's young relative be?
You can't shock me unless it's Kang Hu Yeong.
I'm in Korea.
I'll be at your place this evening.
This bastard.
Ms. Kim!
Go slowly. You need to go down slowly.
You'll hurt your knees.
No, you need to angle up so my legs look long.
Your legs won't even be visible.
I'm asking you to make the invisible legs look longer, you fool.
These aren't good.
Photograph the whole body instead of just the face.
Make me look like a better version of me.
♫ You used to help my tender throbbing heart ♫
Keep going until we get a new profile picture.
It looks fine to me.
♫ I need you by my side ♫
♫ Fall in love with you ♫
♫ Bring me loving, loving dreams of you ♫
♫ Oh, baby, feeling, feeling close to you ♫
What?
Gosh, the wind.
♫ In love with you ♫
Are you taking photos?
Yes.
I'll take one.
Did you take it?
[You're a carp head if you answer this call]
You got a call.
(Sounds like "Your Majesty")
Yes, I'm your majesty.
Joseon's future depends on me.
You got a call, I said.
It's Hye Ji, right? You answer it.
Let's surprise her. Hurry.
- I don't think you should answer it.
- Why not?
You're a carphead if you answer it.
[You're a carp head if you answer this call]
Kim Hye Ji.
When did she change this?
- What was that?
- I thought you might turn into a carp head.
Okay, keep my phone with you.
Don't give it to me. Never.
Let's take photos by the pond there.
I heard it's a great photo spot.
Let's stop taking photos.
Hurry up.
Hurry!
Seriously.
I told you to take them from below. You're so stubborn.
Go over there. Go over there.
♫ On a night with shining stars, I think of you ♫
You need to take one from way down here like this.
This is how you do it.
Look how nice it looks.
♫ I'm remembering the night I've been keeping to myself ♫
♫ I ignored my feelings like a fool ♫
♫ I'm sorry I've been complaining ♫
♫ I look at the old photo in front of the fire ♫
♫ I stare at it for a long, long time ♫
♫ I try to finally express my heart ♫
I admit that I'm not so fit.
I'm so tired from taking a few photos.
A few?
The weather isn't right.
We'll have to skip the highlight of the day.
There's a highlight left, still?
What?
Give me. I'll drive.
Wow, I look so good in this photo.
It's straight out of a period drama.
You had a good photographer.
You leveled up, thanks to me.
Look. Look at the photo I took of you.
You look amazing.
That's because I'm a good model.
You say that yourself?
I never learned how to lie, you know.
Yes, I had fun without unnecessary thoughts, thanks to you.
Come back to Korea again soon.
You sound like you won't see me anymore.
It'd probably take several years for us to meet again.
That's how old classmates are.
I'll send your photos.
You can't turn here.
I can.
Today's not over yet.
- I'll get going now, Uncle and Aunt.
- Yes.
Let us see your handsome face more often.
- Don't forget the umbrella.
- Okay.
It's pouring like it's the monsoon season.
- I'll let you rest.
- Okay.
Hong Ju won't answer the phone.
She drank a lot on Friday.
How could you show up in front of Lee Ddoong again?
Was Hong Ju very surprised?
Why would she be?
She's been doing just fine without you.
She's not answering your call today because she's on a date.
Don't ever show up in front of her.
You're being overprotective of her.
Yes, I'll protect her as best as I can.
I'll make sure you don't come anywhere near her.
Why? Because she still likes me?
Are you crazy?
You two broke up three years ago.
You dumped her and ran away.
Aunt was worried.
But I like how straightforward you became after fixing your face.
Hey.
I'm good as long as Hong Ju's okay.
I've always been jealous of your friendship.
What the hell.
He's a piece of trash that's good for nothing. What do I do with him?
Should I kill him?
Who reads books written by a jerk like him?
What a psychotic narcissist.
Lee Ddoong better not get screwed by him.
Seriously. What do I do?
Eating fried chicken by the Han River
was the highlight, but
It won't work today.
I know.
Let's go to the restaurant if you're hungry.
It's okay.
I still got to see what I wanted to see.
Did you want to see the Han River?
So, Kang Hu Yeong,
you should never meet your first love.
Lee Hong Ju, what you told me on Friday-
I'm so sorry. I crossed the line that day.
I shouldn't have said that.
What do you know-
How could I have said that without knowing?
When did you know?
It was when we first met.
I didn't then, okay?
I'm sure it started then.
You did that to me when you knew?
I said I'm sorry.
But think carefully.
50% of it was compliments.
"A smart preschooler."
That means you're a genius.
I know it can sound bad since it could mean you're immature.
That's why I'm apologetic for that comment.
Wait Hold on.
So
when you said, you knew
He's expressionless and disloyal. He's inhuman, too.
Kang Hu Yeong is like a smart preschooler.
Did I say something worse than that?
I'm relieved that 50% of it was compliments.
Expensive cars sure are nice.
I've never been in Uncle's new car.
There are many buttons since it's expensive.
Why are you opening the window?
How do you close this?
- Hey.
- Why won't this close?
It's because you're messing with it.
Try closing this!
Stay put.
Could you go away?
Okay.
Well, fix my seat, too.
Okay.
♫ It surprises me how I mimic the way you talk ♫
♫ It's so strange ♫
You're done sightseeing, right? Let's go, then.
Okay.
♫ I wonder if you're like me, too ♫
♫ Will your heart not stop racing and shaking, too? ♫
♫ Because no one taught me ♫
♫ So I ask you ♫
♫ Will you respond to my feelings? ♫
Napkins are in the front.
I'll use some of these.
♫ You need to tell me, too ♫
♫ That you like me ♫
Thank you.
♫ I know I fell in love ♫
♫ I knew it ♫
♫ You look so beautiful in the sunlight ♫
♫ I think of you every day ♫
Wait here. I'll get an umbrella.
Don't take it too far.
I just need to go up the stairs.
I'll go, then.
♫ You need to tell me, too ♫
♫ That you like me ♫
Oh, no
Geez
♫ There are so many things I want to tell you ♫
♫ Standing in front of you again for a long time ♫
♫ I'm not able to say a word ♫
♫ I love you so much ♫
♫ Why is it so hard to say this? ♫
Let me borrow this.
Bye now.
Lee Hong Ju.
♫ I always want to be with you ♫
Let's make sure to eat fried chicken together.
Sure.
♫ I want to be a meaningful person to you ♫
Fried chicken?
♫ I'm not sure if you know how I feel ♫
♫ You're just looking at me smiling ♫
♫ I love you so much ♫
♫ Why is it so hard to say this? ♫
"Let's make sure to eat fried chicken together?"
How pathetic, Kang Hu Yeong.
♫ I always want to be with you ♫
♫ When we're together ♫
♫ My heart is filled with you ♫
♫ I want to lean on you ♫
Why does eating fried chicken sound so romantic?
Is it because he's handsome?
♫ I love you so much ♫
♫ Why is it so hard to say this? ♫
I thought he was going to kiss me.
Oh, no
I must be sexually frustrated.
[10 years ago at Obok High's library, 9/24/2013]
- I'm returning this.
- Why not?
The school only purchases books that are educational to the students.
That's why I'm saying you need this book.
Write a proper reason for the recommendation, then.
This won't work, okay?
Why not?
"It's fun.
It's so fun that you won't notice a person next to you dying."
It's true, though.
Make it sound like it was written by a 12th-grader.
It should be because I wrote it.
How could I make it sound better?
You You
Why won't you write her back?
Text her if you're embarrassed to write a letter.
Talk to her in person if you're too embarrassed to text.
She confessed her love. You need to respond, at least.
Why are you telling me that?
Are you Kim Hye Ji?
No response is also a response.
I don't need to explain the meaning, right?
Hey, Kang Hu Yeong!
We're in the library.
It's because she likes you.
She's shy because she likes you
and because she likes you
she knows what it means, but she wants to ignore it.
Have you ever even liked someone?
Do I need to answer such a childish question?
You think you're really smart, don't you?
But no. You know nothing about love.
I would never fall for someone like you.
Looks like you're her proxy. Go tell her
to study Korean if she has time to write letters.
Darn it.
What I said just now has nothing to do with Hye Ji.
I've been overreacting because it concerns my friend.
Don't misunderstand Hye Ji.
Whatever your answer is, respond properly.
I heard Lee Hong Ju lectured you for being
rude to her at the library. Is that true?
Face forward.
Is it also true you told her to study Korean instead of writing letters?
Come on, you didn't say that, right?
You're not that much of an asshole.
You said it, didn't you?
How strange.
Why did you wait so long this time?
You don't normally accept letters from girls.
You're good at saying no, too.
I thought you enjoyed getting letters this time.
Hu Yeong, she's here again.
One, two, three, four, five
Wow, you're good.
♫ I feel so strange these days ♫
Kang Hu Yeong! Hey!
Hey, Kang Hu Yeong!
Here. It's from my friend, Hye Ji.
♫ My heart is pounding ♫
♫ Out of countless people, you're the precious one ♫
♫ You're the only one for me ♫
♫ Do you know how I feel? ♫
♫ Or are you playing ignorant? ♫
♫ It's you ♫
♫ The destiny I've been waiting for ♫
Kang Hu Yeong, this is from my friend, Kim Hye Ji.
♫ I only see you, I only hear you ♫
♫ It has to be you ♫
♫ I never want to let go of you ♫
[From HJ]
She's sleeping so soundly.
[Writing Lesson / Starting Today, I Also]
Is this what she's been working on?
[Book Recommendation]
Love has been the proven survival method
for human beings for centuries.
But the education in Korea doesn't discuss love enough.
I don't think the book is worthy of mentioning humanity.
Gosh, I fell asleep again.
I was going to finish it today.
Where did it go?
Did it fly away?
Gosh, I was sure I wrote something great.
What did I write?

[I recommend this book. Lee Hong Ju.]
♫ I wonder if you're like me, too ♫
When did I
♫ Will your heart not stop racing and shaking, too? ♫
Hold on.
♫ Because no one taught me ♫
♫ So I ask you ♫
♫ Will you respond to my feelings? ♫
When should we eat fried chicken?
♫ Someday, when you find out how I feel ♫
When should we?
♫ You need to tell me, too ♫
♫ That you like me ♫
Who's this jerk?
Don't they know how to read Hangul?
[Don't park in my heart without permission]
Hello.
Good morning.
Producer Lee, come in for a second.
Why does she want to see me first thing in the morning?
Is something wrong?
What is it? Why won't you make eye contact with me?
Am I in charge of the bomb again?
I had a good feeling this morning, though.
Come join us.
I have news you've been awaiting.
We decided on a piece to celebrate the 10th-year anniversary.
Really?
Mr. Bang, this is our producer, Lee Hong Ju.
Hello, sir. I'm Lee Hong Ju-
I know Producer Lee well.
It's good to see you again.
[3 years ago in March, Incheon International Airport]
Oppa. Jun Ho, please talk to me.
Oppa, what did I do wrong?
I'll fix everything.
Since you wrote this as a film script,
you'd have to adapt it for the target audience.
- Are you okay with that?
- Of course.
You said you're in the process of writing.
We can be in charge of adaptation.
No, I'll do it.
I know
Producer Lee would help me.
Why would I?
I'm in charge of production.
So, I won't be talking to you at all, Mr. Bang.
Good morning, everyone.
- Today, we're
- Set, set, set. Rock Asset!
Set, set, set, Rock Asset.
Set, set
What are you doing?
I'm thinking.
What are you thinking about with such a scary face?
- Uncle.
- Yes, what?
I can't leave tomorrow.
Why not?
Because of work, of course.
What work? Roem?
That's already been settled.
You transferred it to the HQ in a week like an ace should. Why can't you leave?
No.
I'm not done yet.
With what?
I haven't looked through it yet.
Of course, I'd be happy if you stayed longer. But
I thought you had an important plan in the US.
A week.
I can handle it, then.
I'll discuss the contract with Mino Pictures then.
Okay, I'll think about how to adapt it, then.
Take care.
Lee Hong Ju, come in for a second.
CEO Bae, I'll stop by the restroom.
I'm back, Hong Ju.
I went to do research for my novel.
That doesn't matter anymore.
Were you upset?
Upset?
That's why
I'm back now.
I wanted to see you privately to ask you not to let anyone in the office
know about our past at all. That's all.
I don't care if you work with Peter's Pen at all.
You said I have to work with you
if I turn my book into an animation.
I said that
before we broke up, Mr. Bang.
Hong Ju,
we never broke up.
I never stopped thinking about you for three years and
I know you didn't, either.
Was everything written here a lie?
I believe you'd never be like that,
but I'm asking you just in case.
You can't be delaying your departure because of your first love, right?
Ms. Kim isn't a femme fatale or anything.
Geez, why are you suddenly stopping, man?
Huh? It's Lee Ddoong.
What the heck?
Why is that bastard there?
- Who is he?
- You won't know.
He's Lee Ddong's ex-boyfriend and
first love. He's a son of a bitch.
Lee Ddoong!
Uncle.
- Kang Hu Yeong?
- When did he return to Korea?
Why were you with that bastard?
Hong Ju.
"Hong Ju"?
Uncle.
Take care, then, Mr. Bang.
If you really have no feelings for me,
there's no reason not to work on the project together.
You're doing this because you still like me.
You little
Lee Hong Ju, I'm glad I ran into you.
The hair tie you left last night is in my car.
Take it with you.
Yes, that's my favorite one.
Let's go.
♫ I keep thinking about you ♫
♫ My heart is pounding ♫

[Ramen / Kimbap]
I'll confess my love to him before I go.
Don't confess.
Why not?
Because
I will report you.
For dating a soldier when you're a student.
Report me? Are you crazy?
Back then, we were
pathetic, but we were lovely.
♫ We were clumsy but passionate. ♫
- Probably.
- Probably.
♫ I never want to let go of you ♫
♫ I never believed in destiny ♫
♫ But since I got to know you ♫
♫ I am like a star in a drama ♫
They need me to work on the 10th-anniversary project.
It's Bang Jun Ho's work.
It was all Bang Jun Ho?
There's no way Hong Ju could say no.
Gosh, are you stupid?
Is it a bad memory for you?
Everything linked to Bang Jun Ho is bad.
Do you want fried chicken?
She's still clueless and dumb as ever.
Are you sure you can leave like this?
Hong Ju got in a car accident.
Why are you getting angry over nothing?
Is this still nothing?
