Serendipity's Embrace (2024) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
[Serendipity's Embrace]
[Episode 3]
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.
♫ Run, run, run to you ♫
♫ At least, there will always be our own ♫
♫ You used to help my tender throbbing heart ♫
♫ You really doubted, but it was time to shine ♫
♫ I need you by my side ♫
♫ Fall in love with you ♫
♫ I know if I stay, I'll be with you again ♫
- That man-
- Hey, hide.
♫ Bring me loving, loving dreams of you ♫
♫ Oh, baby, feeling, feeling close to you ♫
♫ That's alright, I want to fall in love with you ♫
Are we done hiding now?
You work with Uncle Wook, don't you?
Our company is next to Rock Asset. It's that building.
- That's why he-
- I think you should keep the hair tie.
Use it to tie your bangs.
He's the one who almost turned you into a carp head, right?
I was really grateful to you just now.
Could you play ignorant so I can stay grateful?
I should go back to the office.
Anyway, thank you, and it was good to see you.
Bye.
I have to keep ignoring this, too, right?
Thank you.
Bye.
She keeps dissing me.
You were in the restroom for a long time.
You were here, CEO Bae.
I was just about to visit you.
Was your heart still achy?
It's already been three years.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Everyone knows it was your ex who left just now.
When did you find out?
Your face was saying everything. How could I not know?
- I'm sorry.
- No need to apologize about your relationship.
To be honest, I'm not interested.
Read it and prepare for the adaptation meeting.
CEO Bae, I can't do this.
You asked me to let you debut as a producer for the company's 10th anniversary.
I did.
But you saw me just now.
Yes, I did.
You said, "I won't even talk to you" to his face.
- CEO Bae.
- You think the opportunities always suit your liking?
You all saw it just now, right?
There's no such thing as beautiful love.
But what are we?
We're creators who create sincere fantasies.
Let's work instead of falling in love. Work.
[Script: Bang Jun Ho / "My Avant Garde Love"]
I have to keep ignoring this, too, right?
Thank you.
Kang Hu Yeong.
Hey, you came.
How about Lee Ddoong? Did she go okay?
Uncle, who was that guy earlier?
Why ask about that bastard?
His name is Bang Jun Ho.
Who? Who did you say he was?
Writer Bang Jun Ho. He recently published a book.
Hey!
["My Avant Garde Love" Written by Bang Jun Ho]
[Book Recommendation]
[Bang Jun Ho]
That man was
Bang Jun Ho?
I gave Peter's Pen my script.
You insist on making the animated film?
It won't make any money.
You haven't even finished the book.
You have to do the autograph event, too.
I can do everything.
I'm in the best condition right now.
How about Hong Ju? Did you see her?
Did you get a slap in the face?
You think that's funny?
You really are a bastard.
Hong Ju visited me dozens of times after you suddenly left.
I couldn't tell her where you went because you asked me not to.
Seeing her sob made me so angry.
I would've beaten you up if I were her parent.
Many people hate me here, too.
I hate you, too. You bastard.
Should I sign my next contract with someone else, then?
You bastard.
I'll discuss the adaptation with Hong Ju.
You think she'd agree to?
Of course, she would.
There's no way she can say no to that.

[2. In the middle of Gangnam / Morning]
It was all Bang Jun Ho?
Yes! Is it so surprising that it was him?
You'll be even more shocked to hear how much the sofa and carpet were.
Geez, seriously!
Uncle, you know what?
When I was in high school, I wrote a lengthy book recommendation in the library.
I asked them to buy Bang Jun Ho's book.
Were you his fan, too-
Were you his fan, too?
That's not all.
I should be going with you.
It's too bad I have a class.
You're doing the interview
as a medalist and the representative of Obok High.
There's no need to be too humble.
If someone exceptional like you acts like that,
it comes across as more annoying.
Guys there are talented, too.
But you're different.
You're the only one from a regular high school.
Yes. I'll be right back.
Okay.
Don't talk about me too much.
Okay.
[Obok High Announcement Board]
Aigoo, which award are you accepting today?
[International Math Olympiad interview day, 10:55 at school gate]
I'm doing an interview today.
Gosh.
You're Obok High's pride, Hu Yeong.
Thank you.
Sure. Safe travels.
What?
What's with you?
It's my bag.
T-The classes started. Where are you going?
What do you care?
I'm going home because I'm sick, okay?
How about you? Where are you going instead of being in class?
- Seoul National University.
- Seoul National University?
I'm being interviewed as a medalist for the International Math Olympiad.
Is that so?
Seriously.
You're dead if you tell anyone you saw me!
[11:40, Seoul Express Bus Terminal]
♫ I've always trusted myself before I met you ♫
Hello. A ticket to Cheolwon, please.
♫ So you could achieve your dream, I'll teach you how ♫
Thank you.
♫ True happiness is always in your heart ♫
♫ Show me your smile, baby, that's as clear as crystal ♫
♫ So I can get inside your heart ♫
[Dear JH. From HJ]
♫ Show me your smile, baby, that's as white as snow ♫
♫ So my heart for you stays forever ♫
♫ It might not be such a fancy world ♫
♫ But there's a world I've been dreaming just for you ♫
♫ So you could achieve your dream, I'll teach you how to fly ♫
♫ True happiness is always in your heart ♫
♫ Sometimes, the warm sunlight shines on your shoulders ♫
Everything's okay, right?
I'll be right there. Where are you?
♫ Happiness is in your heart ♫
♫ Baby, trust me ♫
♫ Show me your smile, baby, that's as clear as crystal ♫
[14:25, Cheolwon Outer City Bus Terminal]
When does the earliest bus to Seoul leave?
In 20 minutes.
I'll take one ticket.
♫ We will forever, oh, I love you ♫
♫ You will never know ♫
Wow, was Seoul National University around here?
- Of course not.
- I know.
Why are you here?
I took the wrong bus.
That's a lame excuse.
Do you live in Cheolwon, then?
What was the school's phone number?
Hey, come on.
You're playing hooky, too.
You can't threaten me like that.
I'm not playing hooky.
[Cheolwon to East Seoul]
Are you giving up? Playing hooky is too much for you.
I'm leaving later in the evening, okay?
Is that so?
Have fun, then.
[Cheolwon to Seoul]
♫ I look at the old photo in front of the fire ♫
♫ I stare at it for a long, long time ♫
♫ I finally try to express my heart ♫
♫ Slowly, slowly ♫
You're following me right now.
Hey, I don't want to talk to you, either, okay?
Why are you following me?
I don't know, either.
Why did I follow you?
The next stop is Jingyeong Army Base Entrance.
The next stop is Cheolwon Forest.
♫ In the midst of the smoke ♫
Let's get off.
Why?
You said you were following me.
♫ Looking at the photo of me smiling awkwardly ♫
♫ I was very happy then ♫
♫ I ignored my feelings like a fool ♫
♫ I'm sorry I've been complaining ♫
♫ I throw my old worries into the fire ♫
♫ Slowly, slowly, I'll come to you ♫
Where are we going?
You won't know. Just follow me.
You aren't going to some weird religious center, right?
Maybe. Isn't your heart racing?
You're excited and thrilled to see what interesting event would unfold.
I'm anxious and worried.
That's a part of the excitement.
Where are we going?
Over there.
[15:32, Army 2nd Division Advancement Unit]
Hold on.
- Did you come here to visit someone?
- No.
I'm here to confess my love.
What do I do? I'm so nervous.
Let's go! Let's do it!
For love.
You visited Bang Jun Ho at his army base?
You even played hooky, too?
That was all Bang Jun Ho?
But why?
With Lee Ddoong, even?
Why would you visit Bang Jun Ho with Lee Ddoong
You Hey, you You!
It wasn't Ms. Kim?
Seriously
So, my tenant and best friend, Lee Ddoong
Lee Hong Ju was your first love, then?
Uncle, my head is hurting so much.
Could you just keep it to yourself?
Oh, my God!
Are you staying a week longer to spend time with Hong Ju?
What if you fall for her even more?
Not returning to the US because of Hong Ju wasn't a part of the plan!
I know you very well.
You've never failed because you resemble your perfectionist mom.
And I know everything has gone your way since you're smart.
Everything has gone your way all this time, right?
Is it my fault that I'm smart?
Yes, Lee Hong Ju is your obstacle now.
I understand why you're like this because it's Lee Ddoong, but
Wow! But I don't know if she's easy to predict.
- You're not even her type.
- Uncle!
I warned you, okay?
I warned you! All right?
How was the blind date?
The thing is-
Try seeing my niece if it didn't work out.
She just got a job, and she's ready to get married.
She's 25 years old.
I think you two would make such a nice couple.
Gosh, ma'am
Your niece wouldn't like me.
Gosh, I wouldn't just introduce her to anyone.
There's no one like you these days.
You're kindhearted, dependable, and clean-cut.
He has a full head of hair, too.
By the way, Mr. Sohn has high standards.
Look. He won't even bat an eye at me.
No, no, I
My niece is younger than you, Ms. Kim.
And she's a natural beauty like me.
Gosh, Ms. Oh.
That's so old school to talk about being a natural beauty.
Could you tell your niece
to make an appointment with a dermatologist once she gets her first paycheck?
Mr. Sohn, could we talk for a second?
Well, I didn't want to say this because it hurts my pride,
but why won't you ask Hong Ju out again?
The thing is, I
It's not because she's my friend.
Her charm is like a black hole.
Once you fall for her, there's no going back. That's why.
I can guarantee it, okay?
Even I've been smitten with her for over a decade.
Ms. Kim, she said she has no interest in dating.
Huh? She thought you weren't interested in her.
Come on. It was just a misunderstanding.
Call Hong Ju right now, Mr. Sohn.
Ms. Kim, to be honest, I
Let's go.
Mr. Sohn,
you can't go on that blind date, okay?
She's weird.
Okay.
Someone parked here again.
How many times do I have to tell her? Seriously.
Geez.
[This Woman]
The customer is not answering the phone. After the beep
Okay, you won't answer?
Should I just crash into it?
I told her not to park here-
[Bae Do Seon]
Yes, what's going on?
Did you look at the data Mr. Kang created?
Yes.
It was completely faultless.
What more does he have to check that he postponed his departure?
I didn't like him from the beginning.
He knows too well that he's superior.
To be honest, he is superior.
Hey, so what if he's all that?
His head is probably filled with nothing but numbers.
That's how it went, huh?
[Lee Hong Ju's first love. Son of a bitch.]
[Bang Jun Ho! A piece of trash.]
He should've told me.
Hey.
What's with you?
- What about me?
- You got promoted.
Didn't you know?
Should I congratulate you or not?
I heard the new office is owned by a prominent Korean family.
It hasn't been confirmed yet.
What do you mean? Your mom told me to send you back to HQ immediately.
I'll figure it out.
Where are you going?
You should have dinner, at least.
Ho Yeong!
Success or love?
It's that cliche of a problem again.
Lee Hong Ju, I'm glad I ran into you.
He's the one who almost turned you into a carp head, right?
I have to keep ignoring this, too, right?
Ignoring would be better.
Hey, Kang Hu Yeong. Funny to run into you here.
Are you heading home, too?
We run into each other because we share the same route.
The property values went up a lot around here.
I should've bought a building a long time ago.
Is your project in Korea going well?
It's going okay.
When are you going back to the US?
I don't know.
I suppose you never say anything before leaving.
Kang Hu Yeong,
do you want fried chicken?
I surprised you, didn't I?
You did. How could this happen?
Are you really Wook's nephew?
We really must be meant to be, Hu Yeong.
I know.
Unni, we'll have half and half and a Coke, too.
Why half and half? You always order a whole chicken per person.
I don't have an appetite. Right.
You were craving fried chicken a lot, right?
Should I order another one?
Unni, we'll have one spicy and one plain.
Okay.
Why don't you have an appetite? Did your boss yell at you again?
Why would she? I'm really good at my job.
Then why would you lose an appetite you've had all your life?
What's wrong with her?
I wouldn't know.
So, where did you run into each other?
In front of work.
I noticed someone was following me secretly.
Secretly? You're giving her the wrong idea.
You were walking ahead of me.
All I did was walk behind you.
You tried to ignore me.
I thought you were grateful I saved you earlier today.
Saved her?
Earlier today? Why?
I had no idea your leg was there.
I suppose my legs are too long. Sorry.
Lee Hong Ju, you
Why are you still the same as you were 10 years ago?
What did I do?
You still
are as clueless
and dumb as ever.
You're calling me dumb to my face?
Wow. I let you take rides yesterday,
took pictures of you, and entertained you all day.
And since you said you wanted fried chicken,
I invited you when I was supposed to hang out alone with Hye Ji.
I've been so nice to you, but you call me
clueless and dumb?
You're the one who's still freaking annoying, okay?
Excuse me. I'll have a draft beer.
Three? Two?
No, cancel the draft beer.
Ms. Kim, it's Monday today.
We promised not to drink on Mondays.
I'll stop by the restroom.
Start eating without me.
Enjoy it.
Hu Yeong,
I might be overreacting,
but I need to clarify stuff like this.
Do you like Hong Ju?
Does she know, too?
[Lee Ddoong]
Why are you calling?
No, no. Don't pull stuff like this.
Hey, Lee Ddoong!
Hey!
She suddenly has an emergency at work.
Kang Hu Yeong, consider yourself lucky.
I'm tolerating you since Hye Ji likes you.
Why would she like someone like him?
♫ I wonder why I'm being influenced by you ♫
♫ It surprises me how I mimic the way you talk ♫
♫ It's so strange ♫
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize to me.
That's how you feel.
So, did you look for Hong Ju on purpose when you got back?
I happened to run into her.
You were Uncle Wook's nephew by chance,
you live downstairs to Lee Ddoong by chance,
you hung out yesterday by chance,
and you saw her today by chance, too?
Was all of it just a coincidence?
There's one thing that wasn't a coincidence.
By chance, since we were in high school
♫ You need to tell me, too ♫
♫ That you like me ♫
Welcome.
Hey, you came.
How would you get any customers like that?
You should greet a customer happily and energetically.
Customer, my foot. You don't help the business at all.
I've been telling everyone I meet that your restaurant is amazing.
You should've paid me a commission. I'd own this building already.
How does that math work?
How much commission would get you a building that I couldn't even buy?
Did you eat dinner?
Make me something tasty.
I gave up on fried chicken to come here.
Got it. I'll make you something tasty.
Hey, hold on.
I'll only feed you.
Go to your friend if you need a therapist.
My friend
is having fried chicken with her first love right now.
What? With Hu Yeong? Just the two of them?
Yes.
No matter how much I think, Hye Ji deserves so much better.
Seriously, this makes no sense.
Why shouldn't it make sense? But
Excuse me, we'll have another draft beer.
I thought you couldn't drink.
Don't be sweet to me unless you're going to date me.
Okay.
Okay, I'll stop now.
You decided to stay in Korea, right?
Are you going back?
Oh, I see, okay, okay.
I thought you were serious because you got so emotional just now.
You're like me, too. You just want to test her?
It's not that.
Do you know who her No. 0 speed dial is?
It's neither you nor Bang Jun Ho, who's been with her for 10 years.
It's me. I'm her guardian.
You can't compete with me, anyway.
I'll pay.
We didn't even touch the chicken. Take it with you. You can't have this in the US.
I'll pay.
I even made a side dish to feed you.
When will you grow up?
I'm done growing. My height hasn't changed since the 9th grade.
You're stupid, aren't you?
Are you all serious right now? Why do you keep provoking me?
My goodness. My gosh
I just pity Hu Yeong.
Why would you pity him? He's a total jerk and an asshole.
I, the Korean office worker, am more pitiful.
Why am I the only one eating this tasty food?
How can you go to work if you crave alcohol starting Monday?
You need to give your liver a break-
Help yourself. Go ahead.
The CEO said I needed to work on the 10th-anniversary project.
Do it if the CEO tells you to. How dare you say no?
She said she'd make me the main producer, too.
That's great. I thought you've always wanted to be one.
Yes, it's my first opportunity since I started working 10 years ago.
It's already been 10 years? You got your chance after working so hard.
It's Bang Jun Ho's book.
You'd better say no. You can speak up if you devoted 10 years there.
I'm finally becoming a producer after 10 years, though.
Would that get you a discount at convenience stores?
Who else would do it if not me?
Find a better thing to worry about.
There are tons of people who would do it.
But still. I'm a founding member.
I need to work on the foundation anniversary project.
Hong Ju, are you crazy? You want to work with Bang Jun Ho?
You still haven't come to your senses yet.
- I'm calling Hye Ji now.
- You're dead.
You little. You knew you'd die when you said that, didn't you?
- What?
- Give me ramen noodles.
Geez! I'm so sick of this!
[Mother]
Yes, Lee Hong Ju is your obstacle now.
But I don't know if she's easy to predict.
You can't compete with me, anyway.
You're the one who's still freaking annoying, okay?
Come home.
♫ 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 ♫
Is he not back?
♫ Why is it so hard to say this? ♫
[Call - 0]
♫ I really want you ♫
No, I should read the air.
♫ I always want to be with you ♫
♫ I want to be a meaningful person to you ♫
Kang Hu Yeong, you can't do that.
It wasn't easy for me to give you Hye Ji.
I had so much to talk about with her today, too.
♫ I really want you ♫
♫ I always want to be by your side ♫
["My Avant Garde Love"]
[January 2014, Job interview at Peter's Pen]
I enjoyed your proposal.
["My Avant Garde Love" as an animated film!]
The overall quality isn't perfect,
but you chose a good book.
I liked how you interpreted it as the audience.
Thank you.
Hand me your resume.
Weren't you told to bring it to the interview?
[Resume]
[Obok High School - About to graduate]
Is this all?
Yes.
This shouldn't be all.
What did you think of Peter's Pen
that you applied at your level?
The application requirement said, "Anyone who loves animation."
- It said the education level doesn't matter.
- That means
it doesn't matter if you meet the basic requirements.
"Anyone who loves animation" means
someone with professional skills as an animator.
Don't you know?
Is that so? I didn't know.
I wrote it wrong. I did.
Okay, then.
You can leave now.
CEO Bae,
you can make me do anything.
I'll learn everything. I'll try everything.
I stayed up all night for the first time working on the proposal.
I have a goal, too.
I want kids like me to have fun and heartwarming dreams watching our films.
Just imagining that got me excited.
And I'm sure of it now after meeting you.
This is the place.
I want to work here.
["My Avant Garde Love" as an animated film!]
Did you have fun while working on this?
Yes.
How much?
I didn't notice I stayed up all night. I didn't even notice the sunrise.
["My Avant Garde Love"]
Hello.
CEO Bae.
CEO Bae, I'll do it.
Because of Mr. Bang?
No. Well
To be honest, I'm not sure.
I'm certain I'd regret this moment later.
But I'd regret today if I didn't.
I'll just do it.
I want to become a main producer through this project.
If you can't separate work and life, I'll remove you immediately.
Deal.
Are you sure you can leave like this?
Is this really your answer?
I'm done with work.
I'll drive you to the airport. Take my car.
Tell your employees that they did a good job.
Did you say goodbye to Lee Ddoong?
She knows I'm leaving.
And
she said goodbye whenever she saw me.
Are you satisfied with that?
It's enough for her and me.
Call me when you arrive, then.
See you in the States, Uncle.
Ready.
Throw it! Throw it!
Here I go!
Yes, yes!
Hey, hey, hey!
Pass!
Report to me about the fried chicken date.
Are you still eating?
Kim Hye Ji.
Ms. Kim.
I need to tell you something.
Hye Ji, is something going on?
[Lee Ddoong]
Kim Hye Ji
why are you so pathetic?
Rematch. Start.
Mr. Sohn, can we stop playing the bodyguard game?
That's right. We get hit instead of the girls.
It's unfair.
Really? Okay. I'll listen to you.
It's unfair that only you got to experience protecting someone.
You threw yourself earlier. That was cool.
I never did.
We get it, you're the Superman. Who's he trying to protect?
Over here! Over here! Over here!
Gosh, here we go.
Catch it! Catch it!
Let's go! Let's go!
Stop right there!
Mr. Sohn.
Over here.
Mr. Sohn, can I ask you something?
Yes, go ahead.
Well, if
your first love likes your best friend, how would you feel?
It's a coincidence,
but they're getting tangled up as if it's fate.
As for me,
if my friend found a new love,
I'd congratulate her.
My first love is turning 60 next year.
But it's not because she's 60.
My friend is a good person, too.
I've wanted him to find someone good,
but my first love is a good person, too.
Since they're both good
yes
Thinking about it, I think it's a good thing.
What?
Come on now.
Seriously. So funny.
Did you refuse to meet Ms. Oh's niece, by the way?
- Yes.
- Why did you?
I'll ask her to arrange the date again.
N-No, Ms. Kim! Ms. Kim!
Forget I asked you to have a date with Hong Ju, okay?
Geez.
Right, Sang Pil.
[Kwon Sang Pil]
I'm breaking my promise again.
I'm here for a visit.
Who are you visiting in which squadron?
Squadron? Just one second.
Here.
Squadron No. 1 is no longer here.
I've been sending letters here until last week.
This came from here, too.
I can't check the details for you.
[Military Mail - From Bang Jun Ho]
[Missed Call - Mom]
[Messages]
I must be crazy.
Why did I follow her here?
Let's go.
Only one bus comes here.
We have to walk to the terminal if we miss it.
Do you want to eat ramen before we go?
[Ramen, Kimbap]
[17:25, Jingyeok Three-way Intersection Market]
You aren't students from around here.
We came to visit someone at the army base here.
But we didn't get to see him.
If you think you'll never see them again, you can endure it,
but you miss them if you know they're nearby.
I tend to make food spicy.
Get water if the ramen is too spicy.
Enjoy, okay?
Thank you for the food.
It's spicy.
Her ramen is really spicy.
The ramen is too spicy, ma'am.
It's spicy.
Hey, why are you suddenly crying?
It's spicy. The ramen is too spicy.
Should I add some water?
No. That'd ruin it.
Eat slowly.
We have time to catch the bus.
Go without me. I'll stay here overnight.
You can't stay overnight here.
I'll confess my love to Oppa and leave.
You don't even know if he's here. How would you do that?
I will. I'll find him and tell him.
It's overflowing from here.
It keeps overflowing. I can't even breathe.
I think I'd die if I didn't tell him.
Still, you can't.
Don't tell him how you feel.
Why not?
Because
I will report you.
For dating a soldier when you're a student.
You'd report me? Are you crazy?
He gave you the wrong address because he doesn't want you to visit.
You'd get dumped anyway. Isn't it better you didn't see him?
You haven't gotten dumped yet.
She hit me with a spoon first.
Why do you keep crying?
Do you want kimbap?
Ice cream?
Chocolate?
Should we go back to the army base after this, then?
Okay. Let's go and ask.
Eat. The noodles will get bloated.
[19:30, In front of the army base]
She's been sending letters here
and she got a reply here, too.
Bang Jun Ho of Squadron No. 1 at this army base. Right?
This is the right army base,
but Squadron No. 1 is no longer here. I told you.
"No longer" means they used to be here and left.
- Tell me where they went.
- That's
classified military information. I can't tell you.
You can deliver a letter and present, right?
Student, this isn't a janitor's office.
Tell me where they went so we can deliver them ourselves.
Squadron No. 1 was sent to the general outpost last week.
They went up to the mountain over there.
You can't visit them for six months.
Happy now?

[21:00, Cheolwon Gangpori Field of Reeds]
Lee Hong Ju, let's walk a bit faster.
The bus will be arriving soon.
I'm coming.
Coming.
If he went somewhere she couldn't visit,
he should've written her.
What's wrong with that bastard?
[Cheolwon Intercity Bus]
Hey, that's the last bus.
Run, Kang Hu Yeong!
- The bus
- Are you okay?
The bus!
You should've stopped the bus!
Because you fell-
That's not important right now.
What if we miss the bus to Seoul now?
We can stay here overnight, then.
Why would I sleep with you?
When did I say that?
Of course, we'd sleep separately.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
That car suddenly cut me off.
It's okay.
We can arrive at the airport by three, right?
Of course. We're leaving Seoul now.
[Lee Hong Ju]
[Kim Hye Ji]
- Yes, Hye Ji, I-
- Where are you right now, Hu Yeong?
I'm on my way to the airport.
Hong Ju got into a car accident.
- What?
- She's being sent to Obok Hospital's ER now.
I'm her guardian. What do I do?
I'll be there soon, but she's probably alone now.
Could you be there before me?
Please turn around, sir.
Let's go to Obok Hospital.
You'd miss the flight if we turned around-
It doesn't matter. Hurry.
Okay.
You went off-route.
Finding a new route.
♫ I'm strange these days ♫
♫ For some reason, I think about you all day long ♫
Sir, your suitcase!
♫ I can't stop thinking about you ♫
♫ My heart is racing ♫
I heard a patient in a car accident was just sent here.
Just one moment.
She's in the bed over there on the left.
♫ Do you know how I feel? ♫
♫ Or are you playing ignorant? ♫
♫ It's you ♫
♫ The destiny I've been waiting for ♫
♫ What took you so long to get here? ♫
♫ I only see you, I only hear you ♫
♫ It has to be you ♫
♫ I never want to let go of you ♫
Lee Hong Ju.
Are you this patient's guardian?
I'm
♫ It's you ♫
♫ The destiny I've been waiting for ♫
Yes, I am.
♫ What took you so long to get here? ♫
♫ I only see you, I only hear you ♫
♫ It has to be you ♫
♫ I never want to let go of you ♫
Let's send Hong Ju to either
[20 years ago]
back to her family or an orphanage.
[Hong Ju's aunt's house]
Oppa, we agreed not to talk about that anymore.
That was before you got pregnant.
Don't tell Hong Ju.
I'll figure out where to send her.
[Fall 2012, Obok High's clinic when Hong Ju was in 11th grade]
You should get treated at a hospital and rest at home.
Here's an early leave permission.
[Early Leave Permission]
Save this for me. I'll use it next time.
Lee Hong Ju, you have a high fever.
You should go to a hospital.
Why would I go to a hospital again? This is a hospital, too.
This is a hospital, too.
There are medicines and a doctor here, too.
I'm not a doctor.
- Are you a quack?
- Lee Hong Ju!
Aigoo, my gosh
Please keep it down. My head is ringing.
That's why I'm telling you to sleep comfortably at home.
This is more comfortable than being at home.
- You change the bedding every day, right?
- Do you think this is a hotel?
I can't even kick out a sick kid.
Stay here.
Hey, do you want to go home?
Never mind. Stay here longer.
Ma'am, I'm sorry, but can I have some water?
Are you awake, Lee Hong Ju?
Kang Hu Yeong?
Where
You can't move.
You were sent to a hospital after a car accident.
I was?
I survived.
But why are you here?
Wait here. They told me to tell them when you woke up. You need a CT scan.
I'm okay.
I wasn't hit by a car.
I fell, trying to dodge it.
Why did they contact you?
I'm sorry. You must be busy. I'll take care of the rest.
- Lee Hong Ju.
- I'm really okay. You can leave.
Why do you keep telling me to go? Where would I go?
Hey, why are you getting angry?
It's not a big deal. I didn't want to bother you.
Not a big deal?
You still think this isn't a big deal?
♫ I wonder why I'm being influenced by you ♫
[Serendipity's Embrace]
When you get lost,
the real thing begins.
Are you stupid?
♫ I wonder if you're like me, too ♫
♫ Could you stop your heart from racing and shaking? ♫
♫ Because no one taught me ♫
♫ So I ask you ♫
♫ Will you respond to my feelings? ♫
Please stop trying to be flirty.
We're just each other's classmates, right?
Nice catch.
I've never been joking.
Not now and not 10 years ago.
What's wrong with him?
You told me that you'd never change.
I'm embarrassed you keep finding out about my failed relationship.
I'm happy that your relationship failed.
♫ You knew I fell in love ♫
♫ You look so beautiful in the sunlight ♫
[Episode 3]
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.
♫ Run, run, run to you ♫
♫ At least, there will always be our own ♫
♫ You used to help my tender throbbing heart ♫
♫ You really doubted, but it was time to shine ♫
♫ I need you by my side ♫
♫ Fall in love with you ♫
♫ I know if I stay, I'll be with you again ♫
- That man-
- Hey, hide.
♫ Bring me loving, loving dreams of you ♫
♫ Oh, baby, feeling, feeling close to you ♫
♫ That's alright, I want to fall in love with you ♫
Are we done hiding now?
You work with Uncle Wook, don't you?
Our company is next to Rock Asset. It's that building.
- That's why he-
- I think you should keep the hair tie.
Use it to tie your bangs.
He's the one who almost turned you into a carp head, right?
I was really grateful to you just now.
Could you play ignorant so I can stay grateful?
I should go back to the office.
Anyway, thank you, and it was good to see you.
Bye.
I have to keep ignoring this, too, right?
Thank you.
Bye.
She keeps dissing me.
You were in the restroom for a long time.
You were here, CEO Bae.
I was just about to visit you.
Was your heart still achy?
It's already been three years.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Everyone knows it was your ex who left just now.
When did you find out?
Your face was saying everything. How could I not know?
- I'm sorry.
- No need to apologize about your relationship.
To be honest, I'm not interested.
Read it and prepare for the adaptation meeting.
CEO Bae, I can't do this.
You asked me to let you debut as a producer for the company's 10th anniversary.
I did.
But you saw me just now.
Yes, I did.
You said, "I won't even talk to you" to his face.
- CEO Bae.
- You think the opportunities always suit your liking?
You all saw it just now, right?
There's no such thing as beautiful love.
But what are we?
We're creators who create sincere fantasies.
Let's work instead of falling in love. Work.
[Script: Bang Jun Ho / "My Avant Garde Love"]
I have to keep ignoring this, too, right?
Thank you.
Kang Hu Yeong.
Hey, you came.
How about Lee Ddoong? Did she go okay?
Uncle, who was that guy earlier?
Why ask about that bastard?
His name is Bang Jun Ho.
Who? Who did you say he was?
Writer Bang Jun Ho. He recently published a book.
Hey!
["My Avant Garde Love" Written by Bang Jun Ho]
[Book Recommendation]
[Bang Jun Ho]
That man was
Bang Jun Ho?
I gave Peter's Pen my script.
You insist on making the animated film?
It won't make any money.
You haven't even finished the book.
You have to do the autograph event, too.
I can do everything.
I'm in the best condition right now.
How about Hong Ju? Did you see her?
Did you get a slap in the face?
You think that's funny?
You really are a bastard.
Hong Ju visited me dozens of times after you suddenly left.
I couldn't tell her where you went because you asked me not to.
Seeing her sob made me so angry.
I would've beaten you up if I were her parent.
Many people hate me here, too.
I hate you, too. You bastard.
Should I sign my next contract with someone else, then?
You bastard.
I'll discuss the adaptation with Hong Ju.
You think she'd agree to?
Of course, she would.
There's no way she can say no to that.
["My Avant Garde Love"]

[2. In the middle of Gangnam / Morning]
It was all Bang Jun Ho?
Yes! Is it so surprising that it was him?
You'll be even more shocked to hear how much the sofa and carpet were.
Geez, seriously!
Uncle, you know what?
When I was in high school, I wrote a lengthy book recommendation in the library.
I asked them to buy Bang Jun Ho's book.
Were you his fan, too-
Were you his fan, too?
That's not all.
I should be going with you.
It's too bad I have a class.
You're doing the interview
as a medalist and the representative of Obok High.
There's no need to be too humble.
If someone exceptional like you acts like that,
it comes across as more annoying.
Guys there are talented, too.
But you're different.
You're the only one from a regular high school.
Yes. I'll be right back.
Okay.
Don't talk about me too much.
Okay.
[Obok High Announcement Board]
Aigoo, which award are you accepting today?
[International Math Olympiad interview day, 10:55 at school gate]
I'm doing an interview today.
Gosh.
You're Obok High's pride, Hu Yeong.
Thank you.
Sure. Safe travels.
What?
What's with you?
It's my bag.
T-The classes started. Where are you going?
What do you care?
I'm going home because I'm sick, okay?
How about you? Where are you going instead of being in class?
- Seoul National University.
- Seoul National University?
I'm being interviewed as a medalist for the International Math Olympiad.
Is that so?
Seriously.
You're dead if you tell anyone you saw me!
[11:40, Seoul Express Bus Terminal]
♫ I've always trusted myself before I met you ♫
Hello. A ticket to Cheolwon, please.
♫ So you could achieve your dream, I'll teach you how ♫
Thank you.
♫ True happiness is always in your heart ♫
♫ Show me your smile, baby, that's as clear as crystal ♫
♫ So I can get inside your heart ♫
[Dear JH. From HJ]
♫ Show me your smile, baby, that's as white as snow ♫
♫ So my heart for you stays forever ♫
♫ It might not be such a fancy world ♫
♫ But there's a world I've been dreaming just for you ♫
♫ So you could achieve your dream, I'll teach you how to fly ♫
♫ True happiness is always in your heart ♫
♫ Sometimes, the warm sunlight shines on your shoulders ♫
Everything's okay, right?
I'll be right there. Where are you?
♫ Happiness is in your heart ♫
♫ Baby, trust me ♫
♫ Show me your smile, baby, that's as clear as crystal ♫
[14:25, Cheolwon Outer City Bus Terminal]
When does the earliest bus to Seoul leave?
In 20 minutes.
I'll take one ticket.
♫ We will forever, oh, I love you ♫
♫ You will never know ♫
Wow, was Seoul National University around here?
- Of course not.
- I know.
Why are you here?
I took the wrong bus.
That's a lame excuse.
Do you live in Cheolwon, then?
What was the school's phone number?
Hey, come on.
You're playing hooky, too.
You can't threaten me like that.
I'm not playing hooky.
[Cheolwon to East Seoul]
Are you giving up? Playing hooky is too much for you.
I'm leaving later in the evening, okay?
Is that so?
Have fun, then.
[Cheolwon to Seoul]
♫ I look at the old photo in front of the fire ♫
♫ I stare at it for a long, long time ♫
♫ I finally try to express my heart ♫
♫ Slowly, slowly ♫
You're following me right now.
Hey, I don't want to talk to you, either, okay?
Why are you following me?
I don't know, either.
Why did I follow you?
The next stop is Jingyeong Army Base Entrance.
The next stop is Cheolwon Forest.
♫ In the midst of the smoke ♫
Let's get off.
Why?
You said you were following me.
♫ Looking at the photo of me smiling awkwardly ♫
♫ I was very happy then ♫
♫ I ignored my feelings like a fool ♫
♫ I'm sorry I've been complaining ♫
♫ I throw my old worries into the fire ♫
♫ Slowly, slowly, I'll come to you ♫
Where are we going?
You won't know. Just follow me.
You aren't going to some weird religious center, right?
Maybe. Isn't your heart racing?
You're excited and thrilled to see what interesting event would unfold.
I'm anxious and worried.
That's a part of the excitement.
Where are we going?
Over there.
[15:32, Army 2nd Division Advancement Unit]
Hold on.
- Did you come here to visit someone?
- No.
I'm here to confess my love.
What do I do? I'm so nervous.
Let's go! Let's do it!
For love.
You visited Bang Jun Ho at his army base?
You even played hooky, too?
That was all Bang Jun Ho?
But why?
With Lee Ddoong, even?
Why would you visit Bang Jun Ho with Lee Ddoong
You Hey, you You!
It wasn't Ms. Kim?
Seriously
So, my tenant and best friend, Lee Ddoong
Lee Hong Ju was your first love, then?
Uncle, my head is hurting so much.
Could you just keep it to yourself?
Oh, my God!
Are you staying a week longer to spend time with Hong Ju?
What if you fall for her even more?
Not returning to the US because of Hong Ju wasn't a part of the plan!
I know you very well.
You've never failed because you resemble your perfectionist mom.
And I know everything has gone your way since you're smart.
Everything has gone your way all this time, right?
Is it my fault that I'm smart?
Yes, Lee Hong Ju is your obstacle now.
I understand why you're like this because it's Lee Ddoong, but
Wow! But I don't know if she's easy to predict.
- You're not even her type.
- Uncle!
I warned you, okay?
I warned you! All right?
How was the blind date?
The thing is-
Try seeing my niece if it didn't work out.
She just got a job, and she's ready to get married.
She's 25 years old.
I think you two would make such a nice couple.
Gosh, ma'am
Your niece wouldn't like me.
Gosh, I wouldn't just introduce her to anyone.
There's no one like you these days.
You're kindhearted, dependable, and clean-cut.
He has a full head of hair, too.
By the way, Mr. Sohn has high standards.
Look. He won't even bat an eye at me.
No, no, I
My niece is younger than you, Ms. Kim.
And she's a natural beauty like me.
Gosh, Ms. Oh.
That's so old school to talk about being a natural beauty.
Could you tell your niece
to make an appointment with a dermatologist once she gets her first paycheck?
Mr. Sohn, could we talk for a second?
Well, I didn't want to say this because it hurts my pride,
but why won't you ask Hong Ju out again?
The thing is, I
It's not because she's my friend.
Her charm is like a black hole.
Once you fall for her, there's no going back. That's why.
I can guarantee it, okay?
Even I've been smitten with her for over a decade.
Ms. Kim, she said she has no interest in dating.
Huh? She thought you weren't interested in her.
Come on. It was just a misunderstanding.
Call Hong Ju right now, Mr. Sohn.
Ms. Kim, to be honest, I
Let's go.
Mr. Sohn,
you can't go on that blind date, okay?
She's weird.
Okay.
Someone parked here again.
How many times do I have to tell her? Seriously.
Geez.
[This Woman]
The customer is not answering the phone. After the beep
Okay, you won't answer?
Should I just crash into it?
I told her not to park here-
[Bae Do Seon]
Yes, what's going on?
Did you look at the data Mr. Kang created?
Yes.
It was completely faultless.
What more does he have to check that he postponed his departure?
I didn't like him from the beginning.
He knows too well that he's superior.
To be honest, he is superior.
Hey, so what if he's all that?
His head is probably filled with nothing but numbers.
That's how it went, huh?
[Lee Hong Ju's first love. Son of a bitch.]
[Bang Jun Ho! A piece of trash.]
He should've told me.
Hey.
What's with you?
- What about me?
- You got promoted.
Didn't you know?
Should I congratulate you or not?
I heard the new office is owned by a prominent Korean family.
It hasn't been confirmed yet.
What do you mean? Your mom told me to send you back to HQ immediately.
I'll figure it out.
Where are you going?
You should have dinner, at least.
Ho Yeong!
Success or love?
It's that cliche of a problem again.
Lee Hong Ju, I'm glad I ran into you.
He's the one who almost turned you into a carp head, right?
I have to keep ignoring this, too, right?
Ignoring would be better.
Hey, Kang Hu Yeong. Funny to run into you here.
Are you heading home, too?
We run into each other because we share the same route.
The property values went up a lot around here.
I should've bought a building a long time ago.
Is your project in Korea going well?
It's going okay.
When are you going back to the US?
I don't know.
I suppose you never say anything before leaving.
Kang Hu Yeong,
do you want fried chicken?
I surprised you, didn't I?
You did. How could this happen?
Are you really Wook's nephew?
We really must be meant to be, Hu Yeong.
I know.
Unni, we'll have half and half and a Coke, too.
Why half and half? You always order a whole chicken per person.
I don't have an appetite. Right.
You were craving fried chicken a lot, right?
Should I order another one?
Unni, we'll have one spicy and one plain.
Okay.
Why don't you have an appetite? Did your boss yell at you again?
Why would she? I'm really good at my job.
Then why would you lose an appetite you've had all your life?
What's wrong with her?
I wouldn't know.
So, where did you run into each other?
In front of work.
I noticed someone was following me secretly.
Secretly? You're giving her the wrong idea.
You were walking ahead of me.
All I did was walk behind you.
You tried to ignore me.
I thought you were grateful I saved you earlier today.
Saved her?
Earlier today? Why?
I had no idea your leg was there.
I suppose my legs are too long. Sorry.
Lee Hong Ju, you
Why are you still the same as you were 10 years ago?
What did I do?
You still
are as clueless
and dumb as ever.
You're calling me dumb to my face?
Wow. I let you take rides yesterday,
took pictures of you, and entertained you all day.
And since you said you wanted fried chicken,
I invited you when I was supposed to hang out alone with Hye Ji.
I've been so nice to you, but you call me
clueless and dumb?
You're the one who's still freaking annoying, okay?
Excuse me. I'll have a draft beer.
Three? Two?
No, cancel the draft beer.
Ms. Kim, it's Monday today.
We promised not to drink on Mondays.
I'll stop by the restroom.
Start eating without me.
Enjoy it.
Hu Yeong,
I might be overreacting,
but I need to clarify stuff like this.
Do you like Hong Ju?
Does she know, too?
[Lee Ddoong]
Why are you calling?
No, no. Don't pull stuff like this.
Hey, Lee Ddoong!
Hey!
She suddenly has an emergency at work.
Kang Hu Yeong, consider yourself lucky.
I'm tolerating you since Hye Ji likes you.
Why would she like someone like him?
♫ I wonder why I'm being influenced by you ♫
♫ It surprises me how I mimic the way you talk ♫
♫ It's so strange ♫
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize to me.
That's how you feel.
So, did you look for Hong Ju on purpose when you got back?
I happened to run into her.
You were Uncle Wook's nephew by chance,
you live downstairs to Lee Ddoong by chance,
you hung out yesterday by chance,
and you saw her today by chance, too?
Was all of it just a coincidence?
There's one thing that wasn't a coincidence.
By chance, since we were in high school
♫ You need to tell me, too ♫
♫ That you like me ♫
Welcome.
Hey, you came.
How would you get any customers like that?
You should greet a customer happily and energetically.
Customer, my foot. You don't help the business at all.
I've been telling everyone I meet that your restaurant is amazing.
You should've paid me a commission. I'd own this building already.
How does that math work?
How much commission would get you a building that I couldn't even buy?
Did you eat dinner?
Make me something tasty.
I gave up on fried chicken to come here.
Got it. I'll make you something tasty.
Hey, hold on.
I'll only feed you.
Go to your friend if you need a therapist.
My friend
is having fried chicken with her first love right now.
What? With Hu Yeong? Just the two of them?
Yes.
No matter how much I think, Hye Ji deserves so much better.
Seriously, this makes no sense.
Why shouldn't it make sense? But
Excuse me, we'll have another draft beer.
I thought you couldn't drink.
Don't be sweet to me unless you're going to date me.
Okay.
Okay, I'll stop now.
You decided to stay in Korea, right?
Are you going back?
Oh, I see, okay, okay.
I thought you were serious because you got so emotional just now.
You're like me, too. You just want to test her?
It's not that.
Do you know who her No. 0 speed dial is?
It's neither you nor Bang Jun Ho, who's been with her for 10 years.
It's me. I'm her guardian.
You can't compete with me, anyway.
I'll pay.
We didn't even touch the chicken. Take it with you. You can't have this in the US.
I'll pay.
I even made a side dish to feed you.
When will you grow up?
I'm done growing. My height hasn't changed since the 9th grade.
You're stupid, aren't you?
Are you all serious right now? Why do you keep provoking me?
My goodness. My gosh
I just pity Hu Yeong.
Why would you pity him? He's a total jerk and an asshole.
I, the Korean office worker, am more pitiful.
Why am I the only one eating this tasty food?
How can you go to work if you crave alcohol starting Monday?
You need to give your liver a break-
Help yourself. Go ahead.
The CEO said I needed to work on the 10th-anniversary project.
Do it if the CEO tells you to. How dare you say no?
She said she'd make me the main producer, too.
That's great. I thought you've always wanted to be one.
Yes, it's my first opportunity since I started working 10 years ago.
It's already been 10 years? You got your chance after working so hard.
It's Bang Jun Ho's book.
You'd better say no. You can speak up if you devoted 10 years there.
I'm finally becoming a producer after 10 years, though.
Would that get you a discount at convenience stores?
Who else would do it if not me?
Find a better thing to worry about.
There are tons of people who would do it.
But still. I'm a founding member.
I need to work on the foundation anniversary project.
Hong Ju, are you crazy? You want to work with Bang Jun Ho?
You still haven't come to your senses yet.
- I'm calling Hye Ji now.
- You're dead.
You little. You knew you'd die when you said that, didn't you?
- What?
- Give me ramen noodles.
Geez! I'm so sick of this!
[Mother]
Yes, Lee Hong Ju is your obstacle now.
But I don't know if she's easy to predict.
You can't compete with me, anyway.
You're the one who's still freaking annoying, okay?
Come home.
♫ There are so many things I want to tell you ♫
♫ Standing in front of you again for a long time ♫

♫ Why is it so hard to say this? ♫
[Call - 0]
♫ I really want you ♫
No, I should read the air.
♫ I always want to be with you ♫
♫ I want to be a meaningful person to you ♫
Kang Hu Yeong, you can't do that.
It wasn't easy for me to give you Hye Ji.
I had so much to talk about with her today, too.
♫ I really want you ♫
♫ I always want to be by your side ♫

[January 2014, Job interview at Peter's Pen]
I enjoyed your proposal.
["My Avant Garde Love" as an animated film!]
The overall quality isn't perfect,
but you chose a good book.
I liked how you interpreted it as the audience.
Thank you.
Hand me your resume.
Weren't you told to bring it to the interview?
[Resume]
[Obok High School - About to graduate]
Is this all?
Yes.
This shouldn't be all.
What did you think of Peter's Pen
that you applied at your level?
The application requirement said, "Anyone who loves animation."
- It said the education level doesn't matter.
- That means
it doesn't matter if you meet the basic requirements.
"Anyone who loves animation" means
someone with professional skills as an animator.
Don't you know?
Is that so? I didn't know.
I wrote it wrong. I did.
Okay, then.
You can leave now.
CEO Bae,
you can make me do anything.
I'll learn everything. I'll try everything.
I stayed up all night for the first time working on the proposal.
I have a goal, too.
I want kids like me to have fun and heartwarming dreams watching our films.
Just imagining that got me excited.
And I'm sure of it now after meeting you.
This is the place.
I want to work here.
["My Avant Garde Love" as an animated film!]
Did you have fun while working on this?
Yes.
How much?
I didn't notice I stayed up all night. I didn't even notice the sunrise.
["My Avant Garde Love"]
Hello.
CEO Bae.
CEO Bae, I'll do it.
Because of Mr. Bang?
No. Well
To be honest, I'm not sure.
I'm certain I'd regret this moment later.
But I'd regret today if I didn't.
I'll just do it.
I want to become a main producer through this project.
If you can't separate work and life, I'll remove you immediately.
Deal.
Are you sure you can leave like this?
Is this really your answer?
I'm done with work.
I'll drive you to the airport. Take my car.
Tell your employees that they did a good job.
Did you say goodbye to Lee Ddoong?
She knows I'm leaving.
And
she said goodbye whenever she saw me.
Are you satisfied with that?
It's enough for her and me.
Call me when you arrive, then.
See you in the States, Uncle.
Ready.
Throw it! Throw it!
Here I go!
Yes, yes!
Hey, hey, hey!
Pass!
Report to me about the fried chicken date.
Are you still eating?
Kim Hye Ji.
Ms. Kim.
I need to tell you something.
Hye Ji, is something going on?
[Lee Ddoong]
Kim Hye Ji
why are you so pathetic?
Rematch. Start.
Mr. Sohn, can we stop playing the bodyguard game?
That's right. We get hit instead of the girls.
It's unfair.
Really? Okay. I'll listen to you.
It's unfair that only you got to experience protecting someone.
You threw yourself earlier. That was cool.
I never did.
We get it, you're the Superman. Who's he trying to protect?
Over here! Over here! Over here!
Gosh, here we go.
Catch it! Catch it!
Let's go! Let's go!
Stop right there!
Mr. Sohn.
Over here.
Mr. Sohn, can I ask you something?
Yes, go ahead.
Well, if
your first love likes your best friend, how would you feel?
It's a coincidence,
but they're getting tangled up as if it's fate.
As for me,
if my friend found a new love,
I'd congratulate her.
My first love is turning 60 next year.
But it's not because she's 60.
My friend is a good person, too.
I've wanted him to find someone good,
but my first love is a good person, too.
Since they're both good
yes
Thinking about it, I think it's a good thing.
What?
Come on now.
Seriously. So funny.
Did you refuse to meet Ms. Oh's niece, by the way?
- Yes.
- Why did you?
I'll ask her to arrange the date again.
N-No, Ms. Kim! Ms. Kim!
Forget I asked you to have a date with Hong Ju, okay?
Geez.
Right, Sang Pil.
[Kwon Sang Pil]
I'm breaking my promise again.
I'm here for a visit.
Who are you visiting in which squadron?
Squadron? Just one second.
Here.
Squadron No. 1 is no longer here.
I've been sending letters here until last week.
This came from here, too.
I can't check the details for you.
[Military Mail - From Bang Jun Ho]
[Missed Call - Mom]
[Messages]
I must be crazy.
Why did I follow her here?
Let's go.
Only one bus comes here.
We have to walk to the terminal if we miss it.
Do you want to eat ramen before we go?
[Ramen, Kimbap]
[17:25, Jingyeok Three-way Intersection Market]
You aren't students from around here.
We came to visit someone at the army base here.
But we didn't get to see him.
If you think you'll never see them again, you can endure it,
but you miss them if you know they're nearby.
I tend to make food spicy.
Get water if the ramen is too spicy.
Enjoy, okay?
Thank you for the food.
It's spicy.
Her ramen is really spicy.
The ramen is too spicy, ma'am.
It's spicy.
Hey, why are you suddenly crying?
It's spicy. The ramen is too spicy.
Should I add some water?
No. That'd ruin it.
Eat slowly.
We have time to catch the bus.
Go without me. I'll stay here overnight.
You can't stay overnight here.
I'll confess my love to Oppa and leave.
You don't even know if he's here. How would you do that?
I will. I'll find him and tell him.
It's overflowing from here.
It keeps overflowing. I can't even breathe.
I think I'd die if I didn't tell him.
Still, you can't.
Don't tell him how you feel.
Why not?
Because
I will report you.
For dating a soldier when you're a student.
You'd report me? Are you crazy?
He gave you the wrong address because he doesn't want you to visit.
You'd get dumped anyway. Isn't it better you didn't see him?
You haven't gotten dumped yet.
She hit me with a spoon first.
Why do you keep crying?
Do you want kimbap?
Ice cream?
Chocolate?
Should we go back to the army base after this, then?
Okay. Let's go and ask.
Eat. The noodles will get bloated.
[19:30, In front of the army base]
She's been sending letters here
and she got a reply here, too.
Bang Jun Ho of Squadron No. 1 at this army base. Right?
This is the right army base,
but Squadron No. 1 is no longer here. I told you.
"No longer" means they used to be here and left.
- Tell me where they went.
- That's
classified military information. I can't tell you.
You can deliver a letter and present, right?
Student, this isn't a janitor's office.
Tell me where they went so we can deliver them ourselves.
Squadron No. 1 was sent to the general outpost last week.
They went up to the mountain over there.
You can't visit them for six months.
Happy now?
Six
[21:00, Cheolwon Gangpori Field of Reeds]
Lee Hong Ju, let's walk a bit faster.
The bus will be arriving soon.
I'm coming.
Coming.
If he went somewhere she couldn't visit,
he should've written her.
What's wrong with that bastard?
[Cheolwon Intercity Bus]
Hey, that's the last bus.
Run, Kang Hu Yeong!
- The bus
- Are you okay?
The bus!
You should've stopped the bus!
Because you fell-
That's not important right now.
What if we miss the bus to Seoul now?
We can stay here overnight, then.
Why would I sleep with you?
When did I say that?
Of course, we'd sleep separately.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
That car suddenly cut me off.
It's okay.
We can arrive at the airport by three, right?
Of course. We're leaving Seoul now.
[Lee Hong Ju]
[Kim Hye Ji]
- Yes, Hye Ji, I-
- Where are you right now, Hu Yeong?
I'm on my way to the airport.
Hong Ju got into a car accident.
- What?
- She's being sent to Obok Hospital's ER now.
I'm her guardian. What do I do?
I'll be there soon, but she's probably alone now.
Could you be there before me?
Please turn around, sir.
Let's go to Obok Hospital.
You'd miss the flight if we turned around-
It doesn't matter. Hurry.
Okay.
You went off-route.
Finding a new route.
♫ I'm strange these days ♫
♫ For some reason, I think about you all day long ♫
Sir, your suitcase!
♫ I can't stop thinking about you ♫
♫ My heart is racing ♫
I heard a patient in a car accident was just sent here.
Just one moment.
She's in the bed over there on the left.
♫ Do you know how I feel? ♫
♫ Or are you playing ignorant? ♫
♫ It's you ♫
♫ The destiny I've been waiting for ♫
♫ What took you so long to get here? ♫
♫ I only see you, I only hear you ♫
♫ It has to be you ♫
♫ I never want to let go of you ♫
Lee Hong Ju.
Are you this patient's guardian?
I'm
♫ It's you ♫
♫ The destiny I've been waiting for ♫
Yes, I am.
♫ What took you so long to get here? ♫
♫ I only see you, I only hear you ♫
♫ It has to be you ♫
♫ I never want to let go of you ♫
Let's send Hong Ju to either
[20 years ago]
back to her family or an orphanage.
[Hong Ju's aunt's house]
Oppa, we agreed not to talk about that anymore.
That was before you got pregnant.
Don't tell Hong Ju.
I'll figure out where to send her.
[Fall 2012, Obok High's clinic when Hong Ju was in 11th grade]
You should get treated at a hospital and rest at home.
Here's an early leave permission.
[Early Leave Permission]
Save this for me. I'll use it next time.
Lee Hong Ju, you have a high fever.
You should go to a hospital.
Why would I go to a hospital again? This is a hospital, too.
This is a hospital, too.
There are medicines and a doctor here, too.
I'm not a doctor.
- Are you a quack?
- Lee Hong Ju!
Aigoo, my gosh
Please keep it down. My head is ringing.
That's why I'm telling you to sleep comfortably at home.
This is more comfortable than being at home.
- You change the bedding every day, right?
- Do you think this is a hotel?
I can't even kick out a sick kid.
Stay here.
Hey, do you want to go home?
Never mind. Stay here longer.
Ma'am, I'm sorry, but can I have some water?
Are you awake, Lee Hong Ju?
Kang Hu Yeong?
Where
You can't move.
You were sent to a hospital after a car accident.
I was?
I survived.
But why are you here?
Wait here. They told me to tell them when you woke up. You need a CT scan.
I'm okay.
I wasn't hit by a car.
I fell, trying to dodge it.
Why did they contact you?
I'm sorry. You must be busy. I'll take care of the rest.
- Lee Hong Ju.
- I'm really okay. You can leave.
Why do you keep telling me to go? Where would I go?
Hey, why are you getting angry?
It's not a big deal. I didn't want to bother you.
Not a big deal?
You still think this isn't a big deal?
♫ I wonder why I'm being influenced by you ♫
[Serendipity's Embrace]
When you get lost,
the real thing begins.
Are you stupid?
♫ I wonder if you're like me, too ♫
♫ Could you stop your heart from racing and shaking? ♫
♫ Because no one taught me ♫
♫ So I ask you ♫
♫ Will you respond to my feelings? ♫
Please stop trying to be flirty.
We're just each other's classmates, right?
Nice catch.
I've never been joking.
Not now and not 10 years ago.
What's wrong with him?
You told me that you'd never change.
I'm embarrassed you keep finding out about my failed relationship.
I'm happy that your relationship failed.
♫ You knew I fell in love ♫
♫ You look so beautiful in the sunlight ♫
