Hey! Slow down!
Sorry. Are you okay?
- Stop if you need a bathroom break. - It's fine.
It's not fine. I'm scared.
Here we are.
If I get fined, you're paying.
I'll just fetch the document. Go to the toilet.
It's fine.
- I'll give you a lift. - I'll go first.
- To where? - Bye.
- My car key! - It's inside.
Gosh! What's with him?
Seona
What? Do you want to go for a walk?
Can we stay in today?
Fine, let's go.
Let's go.
Daebeom?
What are you doing here at this hour?
- I'm too late, aren't I? - No.
Everyone left, but...
I was going to walk Gyeoul.
If we're heading to the same direction, should we walk together?
Should we?
By the way...
Why are you sweating too much?
It's a hot day today.
Right. Is it, though?
Do you really jog that time every day?
You're a model citizen.
My eyes open automatically.
I have trouble sleeping.
You should never open your eyes.
You'll fall asleep if you close your eyes again.
I slept up to 14 hours like that.
- Fourteen hours? - Yes.
But I had my routine in Seoul, of course.
Right. I was just genuinely jealous.
I'm going...
this way.
Take care.
- Bye. - Bye.
Bye, Gyeoul.
Daebeom!
Never mind.
Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
Let's go.
As if I can wake up early.
Right, Gyeoul?
- Hello. - Yeoreum.
I decided to work out from today.
That's good.
Pace yourself.
You'll get tired too soon.
You don't even pant a little.
Episode 7
No, I have to sleep.
You sleep, too.
I can sleep...
I can't. I have leftover soju somewhere.
Yeoreum.
- Hello. - You really came.
An early morning workout is great.
Then how about...
we meet at the library every morning?
- Every day? - I planned a few routes.
But I guess...
a short one's good since it's too early, right?
Of course.
By the way, don't worry about me.
Run as you always do.
No need to be so formal.
Sorry?
You don't need to be so formal, Yeoreum.
Right.
I'm so tired.
I think he'll like this.
Yeoreum!
Yeoreum, are you in?
- Myeongsuk! - Goodness.
- There you are. - Hi!
Myeongsuk, what brought you here?
- Come in. - I have to run.
Yeoreum.
I have a favor I want to ask you.
What is it?
Tell me.
I have a friend who has a house by Dongcheon Valley.
Can you visit my friend with Bom?
Me with Bom?
Bom went through a tough time.
I haven't given her anything nice.
This is hardly a favor. This is a gift.
Thank you for saying that.
I get to go on holiday thanks to you. Thank you.
- Daebeom. - Yeah.
Daebeom, come quick.
Look.
New interpretation of quantum mechanics shocks the physics academics
Professor Lee's impressive.
Come here.
Come here. What's this...
What?
- What? - There's sand.
Right. Okay.
You act like I have poop on my hand.
Sorry.
You're here.
Hello.
Yeoreum!
You're leaving already?
Yes...
Well...
You'll have dinner tonight, right? Are you busy?
Why? Are you watching a film?
- A film? - What?
No, I mean...
I have a film I want to watch...
- It was released. - I see.
- Do you want... - Do you want...
If you're okay with me going...
Should we?
It might be heavy.
It's heavy...
Sorry.
Daedeom: It's heavy.
Also, I bought the tickets already.
Already? Be careful, it's heavy.
Take this for me.
- What's your plan for this break? - No idea. Butt out.
- Yeoreum! - Yeoreum!
- Playing hooky? - hooky? No way.
- The school break started. - Already?
But I'm on a break every day now.
It's a bit of a shame, though.
I was going to go to school without skipping now.
Why are you smiling while saying that?
Mind your business.
I saw grandma packing stuff for you this morning.
Yeah, I got it.
Did she say anything else?
She wants me to travel with you.
Really? A trip?
Perfect. I felt like traveling.
To where? The sea? The mountain?
Grandma has a friend who has a house in Dongcheon.
Dongcheon?
Where is that? But that's not important.
Hey! Why do you think you're obviously going?
Wait! Daebeom should come, too.
I'll talk him into it.
Daebeom!
- Talk louder, will you? - Sorry.
The valley in Dongcheon's wild. Look.
Stop. I don't have to see it if I'll be there.
I don't care.
Hey, guys.
I made a plan today.
You go ahead.
A plan? With someone other than us?
Okay, we'll go.
- Bye. - Good luck.
- What should we bring? - How about meat?
Let's go have dinner.
Jiyeong, I made a plan.
With Yeoreum?
Yes.
- Daebeom. - Yes.
I'm not just a colleague, right?
No.
That hurts.
I'm starting to hurt. Because of you.
Yeoreum!
I'll just lock the door.
Take your time.
- Shall we? - Yes.
- Have you waited long? - No, I just came...
What the heck...
Oh shit.
This place has many trees...
You didn't even check if your lights were off.
Goodness, where's your head?
Don't turn off the car right after.
You should thank me.
Who'd come in the middle of the night?
Also, you have insurance. Why call me?
Why are you quiet?
Are you crying?
Hey...
Did something happen?
I'll feel so pathetic.
Okay, I got it. Just crying it out.
I'm really hacked off.
Never mind. Get me a tissue.
Tissue? In your car?
- Bottom! - I got it!
Enjoy your film.
Here.
You can't go in.
- Why? - You booked tickets for next week.
- The film's released next week. - No way...
If you look at the date...
It's true.
How did I miss the date?
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
Well...
Should we go and have chicken and beer?
Chicken and beer?
I was going to ask you out for chicken and beer earlier today.
- I'd love to. - Oh, really?
Let me find a place.
Actually...
The place this way is...
old but serves great chicken.
The place this way is clean and spacious.
But their chicken's just so-so.
The place this way has outdoor tables,
and people praise their beer.
It seems like you researched.
Just in case...
I go for...
The third place.
- It's harder to find a good beer. - Right.
- How far it is? - It's ten minutes away.
It's close.
Why are you running?
It's ten minutes by running.
- Do you want to walk? - No, let's run.
- It's 30 minutes of walking... - Let's make it in five.
It's awesome.
Beer here is awesome.
Who invented the chicken and beer combo?
Seriously,
we have to award the inventor.
Use this.
Thank you.
It's so good.
I almost forgot.
I brought this.
What is it?
It's Cheongchun Angok.
- It came out today. - Awesome.
You didn't sneak a peek, right?
No, I haven't.
I'm glad. Please don't read it. I suck at writing.
I don't think so.
You said you didn't read it!
I only saw the photos.
I brought another copy to read it as soon as I'm home.
No! Please don't read it!
You'll be disappointed.
You fucking idiot.
How dare you trip me with your foot?
Mister!
Are you okay?
Let go, you son of...
You!
I'm only fine because I landed as I learned in the Marine Corps.
Others would've split open their skull!
Watch it!
Let go!
Is something wrong?
I'll kill you if you tell someone.
No one will believe the steel-heart Jiyeong cried.
Thank you.
What?
You're all I have, really.
I'll take off.
Tell me if something's bothering you.
You're what's bothering me.
I see you're fine now, giving me cold shoulders.
Bye.
Drive safely.
Bye.
I'm all she has?
Am I all you have?
- How was your meal? - Good.
- How much is it? - I'll pay.
I will.
It's all been paid for.
The man who fell paid.
Really?
The beer was great.
We had free chicken.
I'm so happy.
By the way, do you ever get angry?
I've never seen you get angry.
You could've before.
Do you not get angry or hold it in?
I just think things happen, and...
I try to think like that.
The thought keeps me alive.
You're on a different level.
I can't seem to think like that.
It'll take some time to get home, right?
Should we ask 100 questions for fun?
A hundred questions?
I'd probably ask questions alone...
Okay.
What's your favorite fruit?
I like apples.
You answered so quickly.
I like strawberry.
Strawberry...
- Then... - For the next one...
Who is your favorite author?
This is hard.
The one popped into your head.
I go with Kim Aeran.
- What about you? - Mine's Carl Sagan.
I enjoyed "Murmurs of Earth" a lot.
It's very like you.
Here's my last question.
What's your favorite season?
I like summer.
Just the season...
I know.
Summer's my favorite, too.
Can I ask you my real last question?
Of course.
When you first met me...
why didn't you talk?
Well, I...
I can't talk to strangers well.
That's why.
Then I guess I'm not a stranger anymore.
You talked a lot today.
That may be why I have a sore throat.
You didn't talk that much.
Have you ever killed Seona?
What?
Are you okay?
- Sorry, excuse me. - Daebeom!
Daebeom!
You better tell the truth!
I don't know.
This isn't a place to lie!
Daebeom.
You can't change your story at the last minute.
You said you saw dad running on your way home.
Isn't that right?
Daebeom, look at me.
I said look at me!
You know...
Aren't you happy that Seona's dead?
I know you didn't like her.
Right?
He is happy.
You're happy she's dead.
No. That's not true.
That's not true!
That's not true...
Pesticide
Daebeom.
Daebeom!
You're here.
Who opened the shutter?
- Did you? - No.
Pull the shutter down.
What lunatic did this?
It's the same shit!
"Have you ever..."
"killed Seona?"
Her dad killed her!
Dad, we should report it to the police fast.
- Otherwise... - Hey, now.
The news will reach the town center. It's not good.
That's not the problem.
I must have killed Seona's family and their dog in the previous life.
Dad, watch what you say.
Daebeom, that punk.
I was easy on him since I felt bad.
He's a victim.
What?
Daebeom's the biggest victim.
Fine, well said.
Did I kill his mom and sister?
His family shit all over my building! Look at it!
- I'm the victim! I am! - Oh, sir!
Please calm down.
I'm going to install a security camera here first.
A security camera, yes.
We should've done it a long time ago.
Mucehol, thanks. You're the only one I can trust.
- Christ... - Yeoreum.
Call me immediately if you see a suspicious person.
Okay.
- Hi, I'm a reporter at Naeil Ilbo. - I don't do interviews. Bye.
One second, sir.
- About your recent literature... - I'm running late. I'm hanging up.
Sir, sir!
Sir, you'll have to see this.
It's the college online forum.
What is it?
Everyone's freaking about you stealing someone's idea.
Steal?
They don't know the whole story.
If Daebeom doesn't show up, the issue will get even worse.
The president will hold the ethical committee meeting.
The ethical committee?
- What will happen? - If things go wrong,
Professor Lee may be ostracized at school.
Selling an idea is a huge issue.
- Daebeom may be affected... - Even Daebeom, too?
Yes.
That's why Daebeom has to come to the meeting and tell the truth.
Please talk to him.
Well...
I'll talk to Daebeom and call you back.
Hi.
Is Daebeom in?
Like he's a friend.
He's not in yet.
By any chance...
Did something happen last night?
Well...
Why do you go all out for a small trip?
You shopped like you're throwing a party.
Sorry, I got carried away.
It looks a lot, but we'll finish it all.
Where are you going?
Aren't you coming? We're here.
- Here? - Yes.
Come in.
Leave the stuff here.
Is this really your home?
No, it's my aunt's.
- Our homeroom teacher? - You knew?
I bet everyone knows except you and her.
You two always talk behind the teacher's office.
Everyone knows...
By the way, our teacher...
I mean, your aunt's really rich.
It's a bit complicated. Come here.
My dad bought this for her to watch me.
Sit here.
It must be frustrating to live with your aunt.
She doesn't live here.
What? Then you have this big place to yourself?
Actually, I only use the first floor.
- Why? - Never mind. Sit and relax.
- It's okay. I'll help. - I appreciate it.
Look at this.
You have a big fridge, but it's empty.
I thought you liked cooking.
You cook for others, not yourself.
I eat simple meals usually.
You can peel the pear if you want to help.
I think someone's here.
It's a beautiful house.
Hi.
What a surprise.
I told you about the new English tutor.
What's all this? Why is she doing here?
Aunty, we were...
Jaehun, a word.
- Thomas, wait a minute. Sorry. - No problem. Take your time.
- Thank you. - Sorry. I'll be back.
Jaehun!
What's wrong with you, seriously?
- How many times did I tell you? - Hi.
Think of your parents before you act!
You have to do things right!
Stand up. Let's go see your doctor.
Stand up now.
No.
I'm okay.
Okay, fine.
I don't care if you die on this floor.
I've warned you. I won't say it again.
- I'll take off. - Hey.
Listen up. I don't know what you want.
But you better stop seeking him out.
Jaehun.
- Don't you like hanging out with me? - What?
I do. I like it. It's my favorite thing.
See? He's the one seeking me out.
- Brat, I could get you expelled! - Wait up.
Where are you going? I'll tell your dad everything!
Suit yourself.
Hey, Thomas.
She is a very bad aunt!
I heard everything.
- Thomas! - What?
- Ms. Kim. - Yes.
- Give him a shot. - Yes, sir.
- Follow her. - Okay.
Come this way.
How is he?
Even if he says he put all the traumas in the past,
his body's too smart to forget them.
- You know he needs a good rest. - Yes.
Let him do whatever he wants.
- We'll wait and see. - Lie down and relax.
He's doing bad, right?
Yes, it's not looking good.
I'll prescribe more pills.
Make sure he takes it regularly.
- I will. - But anyway,
- when will you say your vows? - Next, please.
I told you we're not dating.
He's just too shy to admit it.
On that note,
who wrote the message?
Die, Seona.
Kill Seona. Die, Seona.
Kill Seona! Die, Seona!
- Kill Seona! Die, Seona! - She's not Seona, Geunho!
Okay? Please! Get a grip.
Geunho, look at me.
If you do it again, I'll call the police.
I'm scared of the police!
- I'm scared of the police! - Geunho!
- I'm scared of the police! - It's okay. Calm down.
Geunho.
Jiyeong.
You were...
my sister's friend.
Did you like it?
Friend?
She was way out of my league.
I didn't like being her brother.
Because of her...
I got scolded by my dad.
What brought you here?
This is what your home looks like.
I'll sit.
Well...
How's Daebeom?
He went to the doctor's for a shot. I tucked him in at his home.
The doctor's?
Yeoreum.
You heard about what happened here, right?
Yes, Bom told me.
Daebeom's sister dying here...
Did you hear who found here first?
It was Daebeom.
The person who found his mom dead was...
also Daebeom.
You know, he's...
struggling just for you living here.
It'll remind him of the past.
He thinks he killed his entire family.
What about Bom's hospital fee?
Do you know how paid?
The fee? It's...
You were so upset about Bom's hospital fee.
Daebeom called his supervisor and sold his literature.
To pay for the fee.
That's why the supervisor is in big trouble.
If Daebeom doesn't go to Seoul right now,
So many things will be ruined. I wonder why it all happened.
Yeoreum.
Do you like Daebeom?
- Sorry? - I'm not even curious now.
I don't care about how you feel.
I just hate that...
Daebeom's in more trouble because of you.
Do you know how much he struggled to get here?
He can't sleep. He just runs.
He's always alone.
That's how he survived.
He pushed himself, biting the bullets.
But that crumbled today.
When he trapped himself like that,
I just...
I don't even know when he'll come out again.
- Sorry. - No.
Anyone can say that.
Yeoreum.
Can you look after him?
And I mean for good. Can you look after him for good?
I can.
I've done it, and I will in the future.
You may think he's...
a fling you met on the beach, but it's like that for me and Daebeom.
I don't see him as a fling.
If he's not, nudge him.
If you're not going to leave, nudge him just once so that he can.
I beg you.
Just once.
Will you be okay?
I'll have to beg my aunt for mercy.
That's so you.
Thank you, Bom.
For what?
For everything.
I envy that you can be yourself.
You envy me?
- I envy you. - Me?
Yes.
You're rich.
I think...
you're way richer than me.
You have Haneul and your grandma.
Hey, what if your aunt gets me expelled?
You'll have to talk to her for me.
I'll tell her I'll quit school.
Summer Strike
If I had never lived in the billiard center...
You wouldn't have fallen ill.
You know it's not your fault.
Because you came to Angok, I'm sincerely happy.
I don't want to be sad in my life anymore.
If anyone comes and writes again, bite them.
Keep up the good work!
Do you think the punk wrote the messages?
The security camera's installed.
Who are you?
We'll catch the culprit.
