A Time Called You (2023) s01e08 Episode Script
Episode 8
-Koo Yeon-jun.
-Oh, Tae-ha, there you are.
I'm only a little late.
Here. It's a little present
since you always save me a seat.
TOP CLASS CSAT RETAKE ACADEMY
So, Tae-ha,
for a long time now, I…
Hey, Tae-ha,
for a really long time now, I…
Hmm.
Hey, Koo Yeon-jun.
Why didn't you wake me up?
Oh, the CSAT sucks.
I'm done with studying.
I'll have to take it
three times just to pass.
I… Ta…
Hey, Yeon-jun.
I make my way to this cram school
because I want to study with you.
-Why do you think that is, huh?
-Why?
I drive three hours through traffic,
even thought there's
a cram school near my house.
Whose fault do you think it is
that I choose to come here to be with you?
Is… is it my fault?
Yeon-jun, do I really have to, um,
spell this all out for you entirely?
Jeez, you're so frustrating.
So what are we gonna do with you, huh?
Um, well, what do you mean by that?
Let's get going.
TOP CLASS ACADEMY
What's this? Is this your car?
No, it's my mother's.
I drove it from her house just now.
It's only been a week
since you got your license though.
That's why I should
practice driving then, yeah?
Hurry up. Let's get out of here.
Otherwise, I'll die from boredom.
Quit looking at the map, okay?
You're not here to read the entire way.
We need to map out where we are going
since you're not used to driving yet.
If we end up getting lost,
we'll be in Busan eventually,
so don't worry about anything, okay?
Shall we spend
the night together out there?
Huh?
You're totally nervous
because you're such a novice driver.
You got some nerve.
Nervous? Don't be ridiculous.
I've got this totally under control.
Forget it. Grab a C…
a CD out from inside there?
A CD?
Uh, I don't see any CDs.
Oh really? There should be. My mom
definitely left a few in there for us.
No CDs at all. Nope, sorry.
No, look again.
There has to be a few right there. See?
There… there definitely are.
I'm positive my mom put CDs in there.
I'm sure.
A TIME CALLED YOU
Um, hello? Ah, it's Ye-ji's mother.
Yes.
Oh, her tutoring?
Uh…It's okay, seriously.
Don't worry, okay?
Yes, I'll be right over.
Okay.
RESIDENT REGISTRATION CARD
KOO YEON-JUN
Are you sure about this?
Not enough time has passed
since the car accident.
Do you really have to move away
from home already, Yeon-jun?
Why don't you just study here
and commute back and forth?
Driving back and forth
is just a waste of time, you know.
I need to move.
That way I'll be able to study harder.
Oh, Yeon-jun.
Don't worry too much, okay?
I promise I will take
really good care of myself.
I promise I'll call you every day.
But it's time for me to move on.
Ah, I'll really miss you.
You better study hard.
If you begin to miss home at all,
please call me right away, hmm?
-Got it? Okay?
-Sure thing.
Hey, Mom,
it's not like he's leaving forever.
Off you go.
I'll be all right.
-See you later.
-Uh-huh. Take care of yourself.
Mmm.
OPENING SPECIAL
1,000 WON DISCOUNT FOR AN AMERICANO
Sorry, we're closed for the day.
I bought you an opening-day gift.
So pretty please, can I see inside?
Si-heon, it's you!
I told you. It's Koo Yeon-jun now.
I've been meaning to ask you,
27 was in the name of your record shop
and now your café.
But what does the number mean?
Jimi Hendrix.
Jim Morrison, Janice Joplin, Kurt Cobain.
Back in my day,
there was something called the 27 club.
It's a list of artists
who died prematurely at the age of 27.
-That's what I was inspired by.
-Hmm.
Twenty-seven's too young to die.
It's very young.
And yet, despite the fact
they left us a long time ago, I wonder
what their music would be like
if they hadn't left us too soon, you know?
But even though
they're no longer with us,
we'll always remember who they were to us.
Exactly.
I can't help but love their music anyways.
Oh, so what are you
planning to do next, Si-heon?
I'm gonna attend an art academy
to prepare for the college exam.
That reminds me.
Any part-time job openings here?
It's to pay the academy tuition fee
and basic living expenses.
So an art academy.
Wait, by any chance…
Yes, I want to go to Jun-hee's university.
I've been thinking a lot.
Ever since I time traveled here, I, uh…
I realized I can't be Nam Si-heon
in this life anymore.
I have to be Koo Yeon-jun now.
Jun-hee said that the two of them met
while attending
the same university together, you know.
So your plan is to do what she said?
Mmm. Yes.
I really need to make sure
I'm the Koo Yeon-jun she, uh,
will remember by the year 2023.
If I can do this,
I'll be able to reverse
what happened in the past.
That day on October 13th, um, in 1998.
I need to
make sure I won't fail.
All right, a part-time job it is.
No problem.
You start tomorrow, okay?
Thank you so much.
Si-heon, wait.
These are some of Min-ju's things I found
while sorting through her belongings.
For some reason they tugged at my heart,
and I couldn't bear to throw them away.
But now that I think about it,
they're your memories too.
SOOSEONG ACADEMY
MAIN CAMPUS
Gerunds and to infinitives
are called noun equivalents,
and are pretty similar to a noun.
Uh, help.
Can you show me
how the light reflects from this angle?
Like this. See right here?
Here's where the light…

Thank you for coming. Merry Christmas.
The results must be out now.
Hey, Chi-won, I'm here.
-Oh, you're finally here.
-Let me do it.
-Whoa, you got in!
-Mm-hmm, I got in!
-Hey!
-I got in!
Hey, congratulations!
Hey, Jun-hee.
Uh…
Were you waiting long?
Hey, freshman, are you
interested in joining our dance club?
-All right, bye, Jun-hee.
-Okay, see you both tomorrow. Bye.
-Hey, Min-ji!
-Hey, you're here.
-Good work. Go and grab something to eat.
-Hold up the fort, okay?
VOLUNTEERING CLUB, ONSAEMIRO
RECRUITING NEW MEMBERS FOR 2008
Uh, hello there.
So are you here to join our club today?
Sorry?
Yes.
Have a seat, why don't you?
Hello again.
So are you a freshman?
I'm guessing you must be.
Yes, I'm class of '08. I'm an art major.
Oh, so you're an art student here.
So what about you?
I'm in the class of '07.
I'm in the school of business.
My name is Han Jun-hee.
-Han Jun-hee.
-And what about you?
Um, I am… I'm Koo Yeon-jun.
Yeah, Koo Yeon-jun.
Hmm.
Although I don't have
the club president with me right now,
you're more than welcome
to fill out an application form.
Or instead, you can take our brochure
and decide later after looking it over.
Do you wanna take one with you?
Yes, I'll take one.
Uh…
Where… Ah, here it is.
Hmm.
So take a look
and come back once you're ready, okay?
Oh, um, here. Take this.
Goodbye, Sung-hoon.
Oh, have you decided
to fill out an application?
Here it is.
I really like you.
-Huh?
-I like you a lot, Jun-hee.
Uh…
-Are you sure that I am the right girl?
-Uh-huh.
Oh.
But didn't we just meet
like a second ago? Isn't that right?
The amount of time
has nothing to do with this.
I already knew you long before I met you.
And it's taken me a really long time
to see you again, Jun-hee.
I know
it doesn't make any sense right now, but
I don't want
to waste time anymore with us.
We were meant to be, Jun-hee.
Hey, you're totally crazy, huh?
You look perfectly normal, and yet
you're definitely out of your mind.
Wait, what?
Hey, I have a boyfriend, actually.
Uh, you… you do? Who is it?
Seriously? Yes, I have a boyfriend,
so go away, huh?
And who the hell are you
to speak to me like this?
I just retook the exam
and we're the same age right now.
Uh, but what is
the boyfriend you're talking--
Listen!
You're still behind me in school
by an entire year.
If you don't want your head
to get beaten in like a drum,
then stop addressing me
as if I'm not your senior, all right?
-Hey, Jun-hee.
-Hi, honey.
-Let's grab something to eat.
-Great.
Okay.
So who is this? Is he new to campus?
Uh, I think he was
just about to leave, actually.
He was asking for directions.
Hey, do you wanna join
our school organization today?
No, he says he's considering joining
another organization, yeah?
I'm very hungry.
Please, I want something to eat.
-Hey, will you take over for me?
-Uh-huh.
-You're a lifesaver. Thanks a lot!
-All right.
We're on the 2nd floor
of the admin building.
It's open 24 hours a day, so drop by
anytime if you want to join our club.
No, just go and join that one
you originally wanted to. Bye.
Ah, who do we have here?
Good to see you again.
Do we know each other?
You seriously forgot?
During the practical exam,
I sat right here, yeah? Just like this.
Oh really?
-My name's, uh, Koo Yeon-jun.
-I'm Oh Chan-yeong.
Mmm.
Hey, do you have any plans tonight?
Uh… tonight? I'm going home.
What? That's boring, yeah?
I might have something for you to do then.
I met some girls from the business
department in my art class today,
so, um, I set up a group date
with three of them.
Some applause. Mm-hmm.
This is great. You can come with us.
Oh, no, thanks. I'm good.
Are you sure about that?
Don't worry. I'll do most of the talking.
You just need to show up
as yourself, okay?
'Cause I look like a sexy kitten,
so you'll be the cute puppy of the bunch.
Ah, it's just I'm a little tired today.
-How about we go another time then?
-Have it your way.
There might not be
another opportunity coming.
So long, puppy!
Yeah, aren't you just super cute?
I guess I should find someone else.
Perhaps a sloth.
Wait, business majors?
That's where Jun-hee studies.
Oh, so they might know her.
Wait! Hey! Hey, Chan-yeong!
Um, are you both studying art?
Why? Do we look really sculpted to you?
-So business is what you three study?
-Mmm.
Do you know a senior named
Han Jun-hee in any of your classes?
Han Jun-hee? I'm not sure.
Today was our first day at school.
We still don't know who's who yet.
Ah, really?
Hey, you're killing our vibe here.
Hello, everyone.
Are you all ready to order?
-Uh, what… what are you doing here?
-Why? Do you care?
What is this?
Who is she?
Ah, you're all new students.
Let me guess. Business school?
Yes, all of us.
Oh, no way!
I'm a business major too. Cool.
So I guess you're all friends.
No, it's a group date, actually.
Those three wanted to meet up today.
-Did you say a group date?
-Wait, no, it's…
it's not like that at all.
Well, let's hope
it goes well for all of you.
Definitely try and enjoy college life.
But I think you girls should be suspicious
of some of the male students here.
You know, the kind of guy who
falls in love with a woman he just met,
then goes on a group date. Hmm?
Hey, I said it's not like that. Okay?
So what would you like to order today?
Take a look.
Um, our female customers
tend to like the A and B set menus.
Um, as for guys…
At first, everything seemed like
it was going pretty good, you know.
Then that woman just
had to call you out
for coming onto her.
Those girls looked completely turned off,
and we lost them.
Hey.
Because of you,
the whole thing fell apart.
Ah, yes, yes, it was all my fault.
Just move out of the way.
Wait, you serious?
Are you, um,
really waiting to see that woman?
It was just all a misunderstanding.
To be honest,
I don't think she really cares.
I've been waiting so long
to meet her.
-I can't just give up on her.
-Wait, so have you two met before?
-I'm so hungry.
-Oh!
-Wanna get dessert?
-I have a date with Do-hyeon.
-Jun-hee!
-Oh, there he is.
-Aw, they're so cute.
-Good job, everyone!
-Good night!
-See you tomorrow.
I guess you will have to give up on her.
That sucks.
Shame she's got a boyfriend, huh?
I'll see you later.
Hmm.
Hmm. Mmm.
Oh, I'm so relieved. I was so hungry.
-Are you sure the portions are big enough?
-This is more than enough.
Could we please get one
more portion of noodles?
-Okay.
-Better dig in.
Would you like some broth?
How could she have a boyfriend?
How could she do this to me?
So Jun-hee didn't, um,
tell you that she had a, uh,
boyfriend before dating Koo Yeon-jun?
No, she never mentioned anyone else.
All she ever talked about
was me as Yeon-jun.
Han Jun-hee,
how dare you do this to us?
Well…
…I'm a bit amused, to be honest.
So Jun-hee doesn't know
anything about you yet.
That's right.
Jun-hee, um, doesn't even care
to know who I am.
Now I know how she must have felt
when she first woke up from a coma
in the hospital and saw me there. Hmm.
How lonely she must have felt
way back then.
While I was preparing
for the college exam,
at the time, I figured
it'd be quite simple,
just meeting Jun-hee all over again.
I thought she'd recognize me
and we would fall
right back in love, you know.
I really must sound like a complete fool.
All this time,
I held onto the memories we had together
not realizing
Jun-hee wouldn't have any of them.
She's totally different.
Everything that happened between us…
has been robbed of meaning now.
There's no way that's true, hmm?
You two didn't meet
under ordinary circumstances.
There must be a way
to get close to Jun-hee again.
You just have to find one.
You really think so?
Yeon-jun was always there
for me in the beginning,
even though I kept
my distance from him at first.
He never pressured me into liking him.
Still, when times got tough later with me,
he was always there through it all.
You said you were keeping
your distance from him.
-So how did you end up getting close?
-Our paths kept crossing.
Wherever I went,
I would always run into him,
and so it became our thing, you know.
I'd see him in class, at our school club.
We even worked
at the same restaurant together.
And so gradually we
got to know each other that way.
I think I…
I think I know what to do.
In the past, Jun-hee already gave me
all the hints that I'll need.
That's it. I'll see you later.
Hey, Jun-hee, what should we eat
after class is finished?
-Ramen noodles.
-Okay, sounds good.
What are you doing here?
I'm pretty sure you're an art major.
You shouldn't be here.
Uh, this class is open
to all students, last I checked.
I'm still a freshman,
so I'm going to sample classes
from several different majors.
Mmm. Okay, did you really believe
that I would fall for that today?
Well, that's entirely up to you.
Everybody's still free to take this class.
Hey, don't speak so casually to me.
I'm your elder.
You only told me not
to address you by name,
but I don't remember you telling me
not to speak informally. Am I mistaken?
Um, well, in that case, have a good class.
-Let's go, huh?
-So who is this?
It's very nice to meet you, miss.
I'm Koo Yeon-jun, class of '08.
Ah, Yeon-jun, I see.
You look like a really nice guy.
I'm Oh Chan-yeong.
Nice to meet you, ladies.
The pleasure is all mine.
-Look how sweet and tall they are.
-Let's sit down.
-Okay, see you. Oh, why?
-Let's sit.
-But they're so cute
-Just sit down.
Okay, we can sit.
Hey, what's gotten into you?
Hello.
-Jun-hee.
-Oh, good evening, Mr. Manager.
Say hi. You'll be working
with Koo Yeon-jun starting today.
Uh… oh, hello.
Why bother coming all the way here
for a part-time job, huh?
Hmm?
Uh, I was looking for part-time work,
and Na-eun told me this place
was looking for new waiters.
Do you think I'm stupid?
I'm not falling for that.
You're here because of me, aren't you?
-Just say it.
-Um, that's right.
If I work here, will that make you,
um, uncomfortable?
-Yes.
-Then, um, I'm gonna quit.
Hey, actually, it's not a problem for me.
This job is really hard. I've seen so many
that quit in less than a day or so.
Just see for yourself.
And since you seem to think it's a piece
of cake working here, then let's see.
But I'm sure I'll hear about you quitting
in three days' time.
So are you saying
that I, uh, can work with you?
Uh-huh.
Just don't come crying to me.
Give it!
Uh…
-Lee Jun-woo, what are you doing?
-No, it was her!
Uh, don't worry about it. It's fine.
It's okay. It's okay.
Don't cry. It's okay, yeah?
Don't worry. Not a big deal.
I'll clean it.
-What the hell are you doing?
-I'm so sorry.
You're horrible at you job, you know?
-I apologize.
-Come on, man! What the hell? Huh?
-You made a really big mess here!
-It's all right, really. Don't worry.
Honey,
I'm taking your side right now.
I'm terribly sorry.
Honey, it's fine.
People make mistakes.
Yeah, Yeon-jun is attending
Jun-hee's university.
He's managed to meet her.
They work together now.
Well, it seems your plan
is really working.
All right then.
I don't think there's
anything to worry about yet.
All right, sounds good.
Thank you.
YEAR 2006
It's been a while, In-gyu.
Your grandma closed down
the snack bar today
so she could wait for you.
She should've retired long ago.
It's all because of me
that she couldn't retire.
It's all my fault.
Hey, don't say that.
She's been waiting for the day
you would return home.
She only stayed strong all because
she still has you, In-gyu, okay?
In-gyu is back
Oh, In-gyu!
Oh!
Ah.
I'm sorry.
No, don't say that!
You're here now. It's okay.
Everything's okay now.
Oh, my poor grandson.
Oh, my poor, poor baby.
-Where's your grandmother?
-She's asleep right now.
Ah.
I don't think we've ever drunk together
before now, huh?
I had a serious car accident
a few years ago.
I was in a coma
for several weeks, actually.
And my legs were, uh, like this
when I eventually woke up.
I was told by the doctor
that I was really lucky to be alive.
Then, I got a job here afterwards.
And from time to time,
I've been dropping by
to check on your grandmother too.
So these past few years,
I guess you could say
I've gotten my life back on track.
Ah.
Why are you talking
like nothing ever happened?
I killed Min-ju. You know I did.
How can you sit there
and pretend like everything is normal?
You must have a deep hatred for me.
I would never feel that way.
-I have no hatred towards you.
-I don't believe you.
I know Min-ju was the love of your life.
Yeah, both of us
loved her back then, In-gyu.
That's why I know you didn't kill her.
I know you would never do
something like that to anyone.
No matter what anyone says,
I know you.
Even though you saw it
with your own eyes in person?
You must really not
want to believe I did it.
NOKSAN MURDER INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
A PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF MURDER SUSPEC
I'LL STOP IN-GYU'S DEATH NO MATTER WHA
So to get
to that apartment building,
go all the way down here, turn left,
and when you see
a small alley on the right…
-Ah…
-Uh, actually…
Huh?
I can walk you there. What do you think?
Really? But you must be busy.
I don't want to be a bother.
-Here let me carry your bags.
-I can carry these.
-No, it's okay. It's not heavy.
-Oh my.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Are you
on your way to visit your kids?
Yes, my son lives there.
Deary, deary me.
I don't know why apartment names are
so difficult to understand these days.
I get confused whenever I come to Seoul.
Tell me about it.
I'd be nice if apartment names
were more simple.
Oh yes.
Oh, wow.
You're so handsome and…
and you're quite tall as well, aren't you?
You look like my grandson.
Actually, seeing you reminds me
of my friend's grandmother.
Jun-hee.
-Yeah, what?
-I got someone new to join. Take a look.
-A new member?
-Come in.
-Do you remember this guy?
-Uh…
Oh, wait. I have to go
to the dean's office.
Can you take care of his application
on my behalf?
Thanks.
Uh, see you. Thank you so much.
I, uh… I can explain myself, Jun-hee.
What for? You're just gonna give me
another made-up reason
like you needed
an organization to join today, right?
-No, I'm actually here because of you.
-Hey.
If you're uncomfortable,
I can get going, yeah?
Shall I just go then, huh?
No, forget it.
Just fill out the application form.
-Uh, really?
-Mm-hmm.
Hey.
Yeon-jun?
Uh, yeah?
Whenever you finish
staring at my face,
you can finish filling out the form, huh?
Oh, oh, oh…
Uh-huh.
You need to stop gawking at me in public.
Otherwise,
Do-hyeon could get the wrong idea.
Then you have to stop
looking so pretty all the time.
Ugh, why is she doing this again?
Hmm? Hey, what is it?
It's just my friend.
She broke up with her boyfriend yet again.
Now she wants me
to go to her right away and console her.
Don't know why she's like this.
I think you had better go.
Don't you think?
Forget it. I can't keep indulging her.
Seriously, who gives up on life
all because of a break-up?
She's just being a crybaby.
Even as her friend, I'm fed up with it.
What if she really needs you to be there?
This could be a cry for help from her.
Don't you think?
She could be going through a hard time.
You're saying that
'cause you don't know her.
-But she's always like this.
-She's still your friend.
What if you ignore her call for help,
and something happens to her?
You'll end up feeling really bad that you
weren't there for her in the first place.
You could end up losing her.
You'd lose that friend forever.
Just go and be there for her.
In any case,
she's having a hard time right now.
What about In-gyu?
Did you hear anything about him?
Oh, In-gyu, um…
I know he was sentenced to nine years
and has been in prison
serving his sentence.
That means,
if he completes his entire sentence,
then he'll be…
he'll be out of prison
this year or even sooner.
Have you heard anything about that?
So he got out
of prison on parole last year.
Ah, so, um, did you happen
to hear where he is now?
In-gyu…
Hey, what is it?
In-gyu…
killed himself shortly after
he got out.
At the very spot
where Min-ju had passed away.
Ah.
There you are.
The manager told me to wipe the dishes
with a dry cloth before we can go.
I can do it. You go home for the day.
Mmm. Let's do it together.
So we'll be done faster, huh? Hmm?
So my family runs a dry-cleaning business.
And it was really tough
for them last year.
That's when my mom and dad
started to fight a lot.
They even talked about
closing down the business too.
But out of nowhere,
my dad ended up falling ill.
And my mom
blamed herself a lot after that.
She felt
that if she had treated him a lot nicer,
then maybe
he wouldn't have gotten so sick.
Sometimes when something bad happens
to someone we know,
we wonder if we could've prevented
any of it from happening.
Although my mom blamed herself,
it's not her fault.
What I'm saying, Yeon-jun, is that I hope
you won't be as hard on yourself.
If you ever need someone to talk to
in the future, I hope you'll come to me.
I can be a shoulder to lean on.
Is your father doing okay now?
Of course, he's perfectly fine now.
He still works out religiously
every morning,
and he still bickers with my mom,
all the while running
the dry cleaners together.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm falling over.
Tell me, Jun-hee.
I heard today is your birthday.
Are you having a birthday party later?
Hey, what the hell?
What are you trying to give me,
a heart attack? Seriously!
We're having it later after school, hmm?
Oh, hey! Do you wanna come?
So we can go? You're inviting us, right?
What's wrong?
They can come.
Um, hello?
Ah, Mr. Manager.
Ah, today? Really?
I have the day off though.
Ah, don't worry. I'll go in today. Bye.
It looks like I won't make
my own birthday party.
Why, hmm?
Because they're a big group booking
tonight at the restaurant, that's why.
But it's your day off today.
Just tell him you can't do it.
How could I?
He's been with putting up with Do-hyeon
stepping out early all the time.
What a woman of virtue, huh?
I don't understand.
Your boyfriend always does this to you,
and yet you always end up
covering for him.
-Mmm.
-I'll do it.
I can go instead of you.
Your birthday party's today.
What's going on?
You definitely said you had
something going on later tonight.
I'm not gonna ask you to work
so I can have fun.
It's okay. You do your thing.
-No, it's all right. It's nothing urgent.
-Hmm?
In case I ever need my shift covered,
you'll be the person I ask first, okay?
Uh, you sure you're okay with this?
Don't worry, all right?
I need to get to class. See you later.
I don't have class, but I'll come with.
Uh, thank you so much, Yeon-jun.
I recommend set B
for the two of you tonight.
You can customize the sides
if you really want to.
-Is set B okay?
-Yeah.
Oh, then we'll have set B.
Are the sides okay?
-Let's just have it as is.
-Then, we'll have set B.
-Ah, set B then for you two?
-Yes.
All right then.
I'll bring some water right away.
Thanks.
What's this? What are you doing here?
Do-hyeon was busy tonight,
so, uh, I decided I should cover
my own shift, you know.
Huh?
What's more important
than your girlfriend's birthday?
-You made it.
-Yes.
Great. Please take
that customer's order. Hurry.
-Let's talk later.
-Uh…
Thank you for coming in.
-So what are you doing after work?
-Hmm?
-Going home, I guess.
-Mmm. Yeah.
After I'm done I'm gonna go home
and finish my assignments.
Do you mind waiting for me here?
I need to step out for minute.
I'll be quick, all right?
Sir, wait!
Hey, wait.
Are you closing for the day?
I'm closing for the day.
Uh, sir, hold on. I need one cake, please.
-Oh, Yeon-jun.
-Oh. Ah…
Jun-hee had to leave.
She left quite suddenly
but asked me to apologize on her behalf.
She's already gone?
She got a call from her boyfriend,
so I'm not sure what is going on entirely.
Ah, her boyfriend, that's right.
-You should go home now too.
-Yes, sir.
-There you are. I'm here.
-Oh.
Oh, Do-hyeon, who is this girl?
Here. Have a seat.
I asked you who this is, so you
have to introduce us before I'll sit.
Well, I'm not sure what to say.
We agreed to this.
You better tell her or else.
So this is a girl I
used to go out with, and, uh…
I guess we originally
broke up out of anger.
The more I thought about it,
I really began to miss her.
It was a mistake to break up with her,
you see?
So what I'm saying is, um,
I've been confused with my feelings.
Yeah, that's it.
I see.
So basically,
you were seeing her on the side. Huh?
So every time that you
kept looking at your phone in private
and kept making excuses
to leave work early,
it was all so you could
just meet her on the side. Am I right?
-Jun-hee.
-How could I be so stupid?
I should've seen this.
If I kept this from you longer,
I'd be doing you wrong.
-Have compassion. I'm here to be honest--
-Hey, what's wrong with you?
Hey, why don't you just sit down
and keep your mouth shut, all right?
And you, you say you want to be honest
when you have lied this entire time?
You stab me in the back,
then pretend this is for my benefit?
Exactly who do you think you are, huh?
Thanks for giving me
such a memorable and amazing birthday.
Hey, Jun-hee.
I never want to see your face again, okay?
Whether at the school club
or at the library, just stay away from me.
Hey, wait.
Huh? My wallet.
Um, yes, hello?
Hey, it's, uh, Yeon-jun.
Yeah?
So, uh, come to think of it,
I haven't wished you a happy birthday yet.
So I just wanted to say that
before the day was over.
Happy birthday, Jun-hee.
Oh, well, thank you.
Ah, you're with Do-hyeon
right now, aren't you?
-I'll… I'll hang up.
-Uh…
Just a second.
Earlier, why did you
ask me to wait for you?
Ah, um, it was nothing, actually.
Did… did you blow out
the candles on your cake?
-Uh, not yet.
-Huh?
How can you not blow out
your birthday candles?
If you make a wish after midnight,
it won't come true at all.
To be honest,
I actually thought a lot about
whether or not I should, uh, call you.
Still, I wanted to hear your voice
as I wished you a happy birthday.
Have a good one, yeah?
Why don't you wish me
a happy birthday to my face?
Please tell me you didn't…
Did you really run out just now
to get me a cake for tonight?
Hey, um, what are you doing back here?
I thought your were
with your boyfriend right now.
It looks like the candles
are starting to melt already.
Then you better make your wish
and blow out your candles, yeah?
Okay, I have my wish.
You should wish for something.
Hmm? But It's your birthday cake.
Then, in that case,
you have to do what I say, right?
My wish…
-It came true already.
-Mmm?
I wanted to be with you
for your birthday tonight.
-Oh, Tae-ha, there you are.
I'm only a little late.
Here. It's a little present
since you always save me a seat.
TOP CLASS CSAT RETAKE ACADEMY
So, Tae-ha,
for a long time now, I…
Hey, Tae-ha,
for a really long time now, I…
Hmm.
Hey, Koo Yeon-jun.
Why didn't you wake me up?
Oh, the CSAT sucks.
I'm done with studying.
I'll have to take it
three times just to pass.
I… Ta…
Hey, Yeon-jun.
I make my way to this cram school
because I want to study with you.
-Why do you think that is, huh?
-Why?
I drive three hours through traffic,
even thought there's
a cram school near my house.
Whose fault do you think it is
that I choose to come here to be with you?
Is… is it my fault?
Yeon-jun, do I really have to, um,
spell this all out for you entirely?
Jeez, you're so frustrating.
So what are we gonna do with you, huh?
Um, well, what do you mean by that?
Let's get going.
TOP CLASS ACADEMY
What's this? Is this your car?
No, it's my mother's.
I drove it from her house just now.
It's only been a week
since you got your license though.
That's why I should
practice driving then, yeah?
Hurry up. Let's get out of here.
Otherwise, I'll die from boredom.
Quit looking at the map, okay?
You're not here to read the entire way.
We need to map out where we are going
since you're not used to driving yet.
If we end up getting lost,
we'll be in Busan eventually,
so don't worry about anything, okay?
Shall we spend
the night together out there?
Huh?
You're totally nervous
because you're such a novice driver.
You got some nerve.
Nervous? Don't be ridiculous.
I've got this totally under control.
Forget it. Grab a C…
a CD out from inside there?
A CD?
Uh, I don't see any CDs.
Oh really? There should be. My mom
definitely left a few in there for us.
No CDs at all. Nope, sorry.
No, look again.
There has to be a few right there. See?
There… there definitely are.
I'm positive my mom put CDs in there.
I'm sure.
A TIME CALLED YOU
Um, hello? Ah, it's Ye-ji's mother.
Yes.
Oh, her tutoring?
Uh…It's okay, seriously.
Don't worry, okay?
Yes, I'll be right over.
Okay.
RESIDENT REGISTRATION CARD
KOO YEON-JUN
Are you sure about this?
Not enough time has passed
since the car accident.
Do you really have to move away
from home already, Yeon-jun?
Why don't you just study here
and commute back and forth?
Driving back and forth
is just a waste of time, you know.
I need to move.
That way I'll be able to study harder.
Oh, Yeon-jun.
Don't worry too much, okay?
I promise I will take
really good care of myself.
I promise I'll call you every day.
But it's time for me to move on.
Ah, I'll really miss you.
You better study hard.
If you begin to miss home at all,
please call me right away, hmm?
-Got it? Okay?
-Sure thing.
Hey, Mom,
it's not like he's leaving forever.
Off you go.
I'll be all right.
-See you later.
-Uh-huh. Take care of yourself.
Mmm.
OPENING SPECIAL
1,000 WON DISCOUNT FOR AN AMERICANO
Sorry, we're closed for the day.
I bought you an opening-day gift.
So pretty please, can I see inside?
Si-heon, it's you!
I told you. It's Koo Yeon-jun now.
I've been meaning to ask you,
27 was in the name of your record shop
and now your café.
But what does the number mean?
Jimi Hendrix.
Jim Morrison, Janice Joplin, Kurt Cobain.
Back in my day,
there was something called the 27 club.
It's a list of artists
who died prematurely at the age of 27.
-That's what I was inspired by.
-Hmm.
Twenty-seven's too young to die.
It's very young.
And yet, despite the fact
they left us a long time ago, I wonder
what their music would be like
if they hadn't left us too soon, you know?
But even though
they're no longer with us,
we'll always remember who they were to us.
Exactly.
I can't help but love their music anyways.
Oh, so what are you
planning to do next, Si-heon?
I'm gonna attend an art academy
to prepare for the college exam.
That reminds me.
Any part-time job openings here?
It's to pay the academy tuition fee
and basic living expenses.
So an art academy.
Wait, by any chance…
Yes, I want to go to Jun-hee's university.
I've been thinking a lot.
Ever since I time traveled here, I, uh…
I realized I can't be Nam Si-heon
in this life anymore.
I have to be Koo Yeon-jun now.
Jun-hee said that the two of them met
while attending
the same university together, you know.
So your plan is to do what she said?
Mmm. Yes.
I really need to make sure
I'm the Koo Yeon-jun she, uh,
will remember by the year 2023.
If I can do this,
I'll be able to reverse
what happened in the past.
That day on October 13th, um, in 1998.
I need to
make sure I won't fail.
All right, a part-time job it is.
No problem.
You start tomorrow, okay?
Thank you so much.
Si-heon, wait.
These are some of Min-ju's things I found
while sorting through her belongings.
For some reason they tugged at my heart,
and I couldn't bear to throw them away.
But now that I think about it,
they're your memories too.
SOOSEONG ACADEMY

Gerunds and to infinitives
are called noun equivalents,
and are pretty similar to a noun.
Uh, help.
Can you show me
how the light reflects from this angle?
Like this. See right here?

Hey, Chi-won, I'm here.
-Oh, you're finally here.
-Let me do it.
-Whoa, you got in!
-Mm-hmm, I got in!
-Hey!
-I got in!
Hey, congratulations!
Hey, Jun-hee.
Uh…
Were you waiting long?
Hey, freshman, are you
interested in joining our dance club?
-All right, bye, Jun-hee.
-Okay, see you both tomorrow. Bye.
-Hey, Min-ji!
-Hey, you're here.
-Good work. Go and grab something to eat.
-Hold up the fort, okay?
VOLUNTEERING CLUB, ONSAEMIRO
RECRUITING NEW MEMBERS FOR 2008
Uh, hello there.
So are you here to join our club today?
Sorry?
Yes.
Have a seat, why don't you?
Hello again.
So are you a freshman?
I'm guessing you must be.
Yes, I'm class of '08. I'm an art major.
Oh, so you're an art student here.
So what about you?
I'm in the class of '07.
I'm in the school of business.
My name is Han Jun-hee.
-Han Jun-hee.
-And what about you?
Um, I am… I'm Koo Yeon-jun.
Yeah, Koo Yeon-jun.
Hmm.
Although I don't have
the club president with me right now,
you're more than welcome
to fill out an application form.
Or instead, you can take our brochure
and decide later after looking it over.
Do you wanna take one with you?
Yes, I'll take one.
Uh…
Where… Ah, here it is.
Hmm.
So take a look
and come back once you're ready, okay?
Oh, um, here. Take this.
Goodbye, Sung-hoon.
Oh, have you decided
to fill out an application?
Here it is.
I really like you.
-Huh?
-I like you a lot, Jun-hee.
Uh…
-Are you sure that I am the right girl?
-Uh-huh.
Oh.
But didn't we just meet
like a second ago? Isn't that right?
The amount of time
has nothing to do with this.
I already knew you long before I met you.
And it's taken me a really long time
to see you again, Jun-hee.
I know
it doesn't make any sense right now, but
I don't want
to waste time anymore with us.
We were meant to be, Jun-hee.
Hey, you're totally crazy, huh?
You look perfectly normal, and yet
you're definitely out of your mind.
Wait, what?
Hey, I have a boyfriend, actually.
Uh, you… you do? Who is it?
Seriously? Yes, I have a boyfriend,
so go away, huh?
And who the hell are you
to speak to me like this?
I just retook the exam
and we're the same age right now.
Uh, but what is
the boyfriend you're talking--
Listen!
You're still behind me in school
by an entire year.
If you don't want your head
to get beaten in like a drum,
then stop addressing me
as if I'm not your senior, all right?
-Hey, Jun-hee.
-Hi, honey.
-Let's grab something to eat.
-Great.
Okay.
So who is this? Is he new to campus?
Uh, I think he was
just about to leave, actually.
He was asking for directions.
Hey, do you wanna join
our school organization today?
No, he says he's considering joining
another organization, yeah?
I'm very hungry.
Please, I want something to eat.
-Hey, will you take over for me?
-Uh-huh.
-You're a lifesaver. Thanks a lot!
-All right.
We're on the 2nd floor
of the admin building.
It's open 24 hours a day, so drop by
anytime if you want to join our club.
No, just go and join that one
you originally wanted to. Bye.
Ah, who do we have here?
Good to see you again.
Do we know each other?
You seriously forgot?
During the practical exam,
I sat right here, yeah? Just like this.
Oh really?
-My name's, uh, Koo Yeon-jun.
-I'm Oh Chan-yeong.
Mmm.
Hey, do you have any plans tonight?
Uh… tonight? I'm going home.
What? That's boring, yeah?
I might have something for you to do then.
I met some girls from the business
department in my art class today,
so, um, I set up a group date
with three of them.
Some applause. Mm-hmm.
This is great. You can come with us.
Oh, no, thanks. I'm good.
Are you sure about that?
Don't worry. I'll do most of the talking.
You just need to show up
as yourself, okay?
'Cause I look like a sexy kitten,
so you'll be the cute puppy of the bunch.
Ah, it's just I'm a little tired today.
-How about we go another time then?
-Have it your way.
There might not be
another opportunity coming.
So long, puppy!
Yeah, aren't you just super cute?
I guess I should find someone else.
Perhaps a sloth.
Wait, business majors?
That's where Jun-hee studies.
Oh, so they might know her.
Wait! Hey! Hey, Chan-yeong!
Um, are you both studying art?
Why? Do we look really sculpted to you?
-So business is what you three study?
-Mmm.
Do you know a senior named
Han Jun-hee in any of your classes?
Han Jun-hee? I'm not sure.
Today was our first day at school.
We still don't know who's who yet.
Ah, really?
Hey, you're killing our vibe here.
Hello, everyone.
Are you all ready to order?
-Uh, what… what are you doing here?
-Why? Do you care?
What is this?
Who is she?
Ah, you're all new students.
Let me guess. Business school?
Yes, all of us.
Oh, no way!
I'm a business major too. Cool.
So I guess you're all friends.
No, it's a group date, actually.
Those three wanted to meet up today.
-Did you say a group date?
-Wait, no, it's…
it's not like that at all.
Well, let's hope
it goes well for all of you.
Definitely try and enjoy college life.
But I think you girls should be suspicious
of some of the male students here.
You know, the kind of guy who
falls in love with a woman he just met,
then goes on a group date. Hmm?
Hey, I said it's not like that. Okay?
So what would you like to order today?
Take a look.
Um, our female customers
tend to like the A and B set menus.
Um, as for guys…
At first, everything seemed like
it was going pretty good, you know.
Then that woman just
had to call you out
for coming onto her.
Those girls looked completely turned off,
and we lost them.
Hey.
Because of you,
the whole thing fell apart.
Ah, yes, yes, it was all my fault.
Just move out of the way.
Wait, you serious?
Are you, um,
really waiting to see that woman?
It was just all a misunderstanding.
To be honest,
I don't think she really cares.
I've been waiting so long
to meet her.
-I can't just give up on her.
-Wait, so have you two met before?
-I'm so hungry.
-Oh!
-Wanna get dessert?
-I have a date with Do-hyeon.
-Jun-hee!
-Oh, there he is.
-Aw, they're so cute.
-Good job, everyone!
-Good night!
-See you tomorrow.
I guess you will have to give up on her.
That sucks.
Shame she's got a boyfriend, huh?
I'll see you later.
Hmm.
Hmm. Mmm.
Oh, I'm so relieved. I was so hungry.
-Are you sure the portions are big enough?
-This is more than enough.
Could we please get one
more portion of noodles?
-Okay.
-Better dig in.
Would you like some broth?
How could she have a boyfriend?
How could she do this to me?
So Jun-hee didn't, um,
tell you that she had a, uh,
boyfriend before dating Koo Yeon-jun?
No, she never mentioned anyone else.
All she ever talked about
was me as Yeon-jun.
Han Jun-hee,
how dare you do this to us?
Well…
…I'm a bit amused, to be honest.
So Jun-hee doesn't know
anything about you yet.
That's right.
Jun-hee, um, doesn't even care
to know who I am.
Now I know how she must have felt
when she first woke up from a coma
in the hospital and saw me there. Hmm.
How lonely she must have felt
way back then.
While I was preparing
for the college exam,
at the time, I figured
it'd be quite simple,
just meeting Jun-hee all over again.
I thought she'd recognize me
and we would fall
right back in love, you know.
I really must sound like a complete fool.
All this time,
I held onto the memories we had together
not realizing
Jun-hee wouldn't have any of them.
She's totally different.
Everything that happened between us…
has been robbed of meaning now.
There's no way that's true, hmm?
You two didn't meet
under ordinary circumstances.
There must be a way
to get close to Jun-hee again.
You just have to find one.
You really think so?
Yeon-jun was always there
for me in the beginning,
even though I kept
my distance from him at first.
He never pressured me into liking him.
Still, when times got tough later with me,
he was always there through it all.
You said you were keeping
your distance from him.
-So how did you end up getting close?
-Our paths kept crossing.
Wherever I went,
I would always run into him,
and so it became our thing, you know.
I'd see him in class, at our school club.
We even worked
at the same restaurant together.
And so gradually we
got to know each other that way.
I think I…
I think I know what to do.
In the past, Jun-hee already gave me
all the hints that I'll need.
That's it. I'll see you later.
Hey, Jun-hee, what should we eat
after class is finished?
-Ramen noodles.
-Okay, sounds good.
What are you doing here?
I'm pretty sure you're an art major.
You shouldn't be here.
Uh, this class is open
to all students, last I checked.
I'm still a freshman,
so I'm going to sample classes
from several different majors.
Mmm. Okay, did you really believe
that I would fall for that today?
Well, that's entirely up to you.
Everybody's still free to take this class.
Hey, don't speak so casually to me.
I'm your elder.
You only told me not
to address you by name,
but I don't remember you telling me
not to speak informally. Am I mistaken?
Um, well, in that case, have a good class.
-Let's go, huh?
-So who is this?
It's very nice to meet you, miss.
I'm Koo Yeon-jun, class of '08.
Ah, Yeon-jun, I see.
You look like a really nice guy.
I'm Oh Chan-yeong.
Nice to meet you, ladies.
The pleasure is all mine.
-Look how sweet and tall they are.
-Let's sit down.
-Okay, see you. Oh, why?
-Let's sit.
-But they're so cute
-Just sit down.
Okay, we can sit.
Hey, what's gotten into you?
Hello.
-Jun-hee.
-Oh, good evening, Mr. Manager.
Say hi. You'll be working
with Koo Yeon-jun starting today.
Uh… oh, hello.
Why bother coming all the way here
for a part-time job, huh?
Hmm?
Uh, I was looking for part-time work,
and Na-eun told me this place
was looking for new waiters.
Do you think I'm stupid?
I'm not falling for that.
You're here because of me, aren't you?
-Just say it.
-Um, that's right.
If I work here, will that make you,
um, uncomfortable?
-Yes.
-Then, um, I'm gonna quit.
Hey, actually, it's not a problem for me.
This job is really hard. I've seen so many
that quit in less than a day or so.
Just see for yourself.
And since you seem to think it's a piece
of cake working here, then let's see.
But I'm sure I'll hear about you quitting
in three days' time.
So are you saying
that I, uh, can work with you?
Uh-huh.
Just don't come crying to me.
Give it!
Uh…
-Lee Jun-woo, what are you doing?
-No, it was her!
Uh, don't worry about it. It's fine.
It's okay. It's okay.
Don't cry. It's okay, yeah?
Don't worry. Not a big deal.
I'll clean it.
-What the hell are you doing?
-I'm so sorry.
You're horrible at you job, you know?
-I apologize.
-Come on, man! What the hell? Huh?
-You made a really big mess here!
-It's all right, really. Don't worry.
Honey,
I'm taking your side right now.
I'm terribly sorry.
Honey, it's fine.
People make mistakes.
Yeah, Yeon-jun is attending
Jun-hee's university.
He's managed to meet her.
They work together now.
Well, it seems your plan
is really working.
All right then.
I don't think there's
anything to worry about yet.
All right, sounds good.
Thank you.
YEAR 2006
It's been a while, In-gyu.
Your grandma closed down
the snack bar today
so she could wait for you.
She should've retired long ago.
It's all because of me
that she couldn't retire.
It's all my fault.
Hey, don't say that.
She's been waiting for the day
you would return home.
She only stayed strong all because
she still has you, In-gyu, okay?
In-gyu is back
Oh, In-gyu!
Oh!
Ah.
I'm sorry.
No, don't say that!
You're here now. It's okay.
Everything's okay now.
Oh, my poor grandson.
Oh, my poor, poor baby.
-Where's your grandmother?
-She's asleep right now.
Ah.
I don't think we've ever drunk together
before now, huh?
I had a serious car accident
a few years ago.
I was in a coma
for several weeks, actually.
And my legs were, uh, like this
when I eventually woke up.
I was told by the doctor
that I was really lucky to be alive.
Then, I got a job here afterwards.
And from time to time,
I've been dropping by
to check on your grandmother too.
So these past few years,
I guess you could say
I've gotten my life back on track.
Ah.
Why are you talking
like nothing ever happened?
I killed Min-ju. You know I did.
How can you sit there
and pretend like everything is normal?
You must have a deep hatred for me.
I would never feel that way.
-I have no hatred towards you.
-I don't believe you.
I know Min-ju was the love of your life.
Yeah, both of us
loved her back then, In-gyu.
That's why I know you didn't kill her.
I know you would never do
something like that to anyone.
No matter what anyone says,
I know you.
Even though you saw it
with your own eyes in person?
You must really not
want to believe I did it.
NOKSAN MURDER INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
A PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF MURDER SUSPEC
I'LL STOP IN-GYU'S DEATH NO MATTER WHA
So to get
to that apartment building,
go all the way down here, turn left,
and when you see
a small alley on the right…
-Ah…
-Uh, actually…
Huh?
I can walk you there. What do you think?
Really? But you must be busy.
I don't want to be a bother.
-Here let me carry your bags.
-I can carry these.
-No, it's okay. It's not heavy.
-Oh my.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Are you
on your way to visit your kids?
Yes, my son lives there.
Deary, deary me.
I don't know why apartment names are
so difficult to understand these days.
I get confused whenever I come to Seoul.
Tell me about it.
I'd be nice if apartment names
were more simple.
Oh yes.
Oh, wow.
You're so handsome and…
and you're quite tall as well, aren't you?
You look like my grandson.
Actually, seeing you reminds me
of my friend's grandmother.
Jun-hee.
-Yeah, what?
-I got someone new to join. Take a look.
-A new member?
-Come in.
-Do you remember this guy?
-Uh…
Oh, wait. I have to go
to the dean's office.
Can you take care of his application
on my behalf?
Thanks.
Uh, see you. Thank you so much.
I, uh… I can explain myself, Jun-hee.
What for? You're just gonna give me
another made-up reason
like you needed
an organization to join today, right?
-No, I'm actually here because of you.
-Hey.
If you're uncomfortable,
I can get going, yeah?
Shall I just go then, huh?
No, forget it.
Just fill out the application form.
-Uh, really?
-Mm-hmm.
Hey.
Yeon-jun?
Uh, yeah?
Whenever you finish
staring at my face,
you can finish filling out the form, huh?
Oh, oh, oh…
Uh-huh.
You need to stop gawking at me in public.
Otherwise,
Do-hyeon could get the wrong idea.
Then you have to stop
looking so pretty all the time.
Ugh, why is she doing this again?
Hmm? Hey, what is it?
It's just my friend.
She broke up with her boyfriend yet again.
Now she wants me
to go to her right away and console her.
Don't know why she's like this.
I think you had better go.
Don't you think?
Forget it. I can't keep indulging her.
Seriously, who gives up on life
all because of a break-up?
She's just being a crybaby.
Even as her friend, I'm fed up with it.
What if she really needs you to be there?
This could be a cry for help from her.
Don't you think?
She could be going through a hard time.
You're saying that
'cause you don't know her.
-But she's always like this.
-She's still your friend.
What if you ignore her call for help,
and something happens to her?
You'll end up feeling really bad that you
weren't there for her in the first place.
You could end up losing her.
You'd lose that friend forever.
Just go and be there for her.
In any case,
she's having a hard time right now.
What about In-gyu?
Did you hear anything about him?
Oh, In-gyu, um…
I know he was sentenced to nine years
and has been in prison
serving his sentence.
That means,
if he completes his entire sentence,
then he'll be…
he'll be out of prison
this year or even sooner.
Have you heard anything about that?
So he got out
of prison on parole last year.
Ah, so, um, did you happen
to hear where he is now?
In-gyu…
Hey, what is it?
In-gyu…
killed himself shortly after
he got out.
At the very spot
where Min-ju had passed away.
Ah.
There you are.
The manager told me to wipe the dishes
with a dry cloth before we can go.
I can do it. You go home for the day.
Mmm. Let's do it together.
So we'll be done faster, huh? Hmm?
So my family runs a dry-cleaning business.
And it was really tough
for them last year.
That's when my mom and dad
started to fight a lot.
They even talked about
closing down the business too.
But out of nowhere,
my dad ended up falling ill.
And my mom
blamed herself a lot after that.
She felt
that if she had treated him a lot nicer,
then maybe
he wouldn't have gotten so sick.
Sometimes when something bad happens
to someone we know,
we wonder if we could've prevented
any of it from happening.
Although my mom blamed herself,
it's not her fault.
What I'm saying, Yeon-jun, is that I hope
you won't be as hard on yourself.
If you ever need someone to talk to
in the future, I hope you'll come to me.
I can be a shoulder to lean on.
Is your father doing okay now?
Of course, he's perfectly fine now.
He still works out religiously
every morning,
and he still bickers with my mom,
all the while running
the dry cleaners together.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm falling over.
Tell me, Jun-hee.
I heard today is your birthday.
Are you having a birthday party later?
Hey, what the hell?
What are you trying to give me,
a heart attack? Seriously!
We're having it later after school, hmm?
Oh, hey! Do you wanna come?
So we can go? You're inviting us, right?
What's wrong?
They can come.
Um, hello?
Ah, Mr. Manager.
Ah, today? Really?
I have the day off though.
Ah, don't worry. I'll go in today. Bye.
It looks like I won't make
my own birthday party.
Why, hmm?
Because they're a big group booking
tonight at the restaurant, that's why.
But it's your day off today.
Just tell him you can't do it.
How could I?
He's been with putting up with Do-hyeon
stepping out early all the time.
What a woman of virtue, huh?
I don't understand.
Your boyfriend always does this to you,
and yet you always end up
covering for him.
-Mmm.
-I'll do it.
I can go instead of you.
Your birthday party's today.
What's going on?
You definitely said you had
something going on later tonight.
I'm not gonna ask you to work
so I can have fun.
It's okay. You do your thing.
-No, it's all right. It's nothing urgent.
-Hmm?
In case I ever need my shift covered,
you'll be the person I ask first, okay?
Uh, you sure you're okay with this?
Don't worry, all right?
I need to get to class. See you later.
I don't have class, but I'll come with.
Uh, thank you so much, Yeon-jun.
I recommend set B
for the two of you tonight.
You can customize the sides
if you really want to.
-Is set B okay?
-Yeah.
Oh, then we'll have set B.
Are the sides okay?
-Let's just have it as is.
-Then, we'll have set B.
-Ah, set B then for you two?
-Yes.
All right then.
I'll bring some water right away.
Thanks.
What's this? What are you doing here?
Do-hyeon was busy tonight,
so, uh, I decided I should cover
my own shift, you know.
Huh?
What's more important
than your girlfriend's birthday?
-You made it.
-Yes.
Great. Please take
that customer's order. Hurry.
-Let's talk later.
-Uh…
Thank you for coming in.
-So what are you doing after work?
-Hmm?
-Going home, I guess.
-Mmm. Yeah.
After I'm done I'm gonna go home
and finish my assignments.
Do you mind waiting for me here?
I need to step out for minute.
I'll be quick, all right?
Sir, wait!
Hey, wait.
Are you closing for the day?
I'm closing for the day.
Uh, sir, hold on. I need one cake, please.
-Oh, Yeon-jun.
-Oh. Ah…
Jun-hee had to leave.
She left quite suddenly
but asked me to apologize on her behalf.
She's already gone?
She got a call from her boyfriend,
so I'm not sure what is going on entirely.
Ah, her boyfriend, that's right.
-You should go home now too.
-Yes, sir.
-There you are. I'm here.
-Oh.
Oh, Do-hyeon, who is this girl?
Here. Have a seat.
I asked you who this is, so you
have to introduce us before I'll sit.
Well, I'm not sure what to say.
We agreed to this.
You better tell her or else.
So this is a girl I
used to go out with, and, uh…
I guess we originally
broke up out of anger.
The more I thought about it,
I really began to miss her.
It was a mistake to break up with her,
you see?
So what I'm saying is, um,
I've been confused with my feelings.
Yeah, that's it.
I see.
So basically,
you were seeing her on the side. Huh?
So every time that you
kept looking at your phone in private
and kept making excuses
to leave work early,
it was all so you could
just meet her on the side. Am I right?
-Jun-hee.
-How could I be so stupid?
I should've seen this.
If I kept this from you longer,
I'd be doing you wrong.
-Have compassion. I'm here to be honest--
-Hey, what's wrong with you?
Hey, why don't you just sit down
and keep your mouth shut, all right?
And you, you say you want to be honest
when you have lied this entire time?
You stab me in the back,
then pretend this is for my benefit?
Exactly who do you think you are, huh?
Thanks for giving me
such a memorable and amazing birthday.
Hey, Jun-hee.
I never want to see your face again, okay?
Whether at the school club
or at the library, just stay away from me.
Hey, wait.
Huh? My wallet.
Um, yes, hello?
Hey, it's, uh, Yeon-jun.
Yeah?
So, uh, come to think of it,
I haven't wished you a happy birthday yet.
So I just wanted to say that
before the day was over.
Happy birthday, Jun-hee.
Oh, well, thank you.
Ah, you're with Do-hyeon
right now, aren't you?
-I'll… I'll hang up.
-Uh…
Just a second.
Earlier, why did you
ask me to wait for you?
Ah, um, it was nothing, actually.
Did… did you blow out
the candles on your cake?
-Uh, not yet.
-Huh?
How can you not blow out
your birthday candles?
If you make a wish after midnight,
it won't come true at all.
To be honest,
I actually thought a lot about
whether or not I should, uh, call you.
Still, I wanted to hear your voice
as I wished you a happy birthday.
Have a good one, yeah?
Why don't you wish me
a happy birthday to my face?
Please tell me you didn't…
Did you really run out just now
to get me a cake for tonight?
Hey, um, what are you doing back here?
I thought your were
with your boyfriend right now.
It looks like the candles
are starting to melt already.
Then you better make your wish
and blow out your candles, yeah?
Okay, I have my wish.
You should wish for something.
Hmm? But It's your birthday cake.
Then, in that case,
you have to do what I say, right?
My wish…
-It came true already.
-Mmm?
I wanted to be with you
for your birthday tonight.
