Myeongju Station
Yeoreum, let's just go. We'll miss the train, too.
Let's wait just a bit more.
When we called him, he said we'll see him if we tiptoe.
It's 30 minutes after, and he's not here.
I bet he just left.
- We can run. - Yeoreum! Bom!
- Jaehun! - Hi!
Hey! Run faster instead of greeting!
Run faster! Unbelievable.
Daebeom...
I thought Daebeom couldn't come.
Hey...
You waited for Daebeom, didn't you?
No, I didn't even know he was coming.
You didn't?
- Hurry! - Hi.
- Let's hurry. - Let's go.
- It's here! - Hurry!
Come on!
Episode 8
- We almost missed the train! - Sorry.
- I was packing these. - Eggs?
Are you an old lady? Did you call Daebeom, though?
No, I met him on the way.
I didn't know you'd come.
Of course, you did. You really didn't know?
You didn't even cancel his seat.
Do you have salt?
- Wow, it's so pretty. - So green.
- We're here already? - Hey.
How can you sleep the whole time?
I prepared food all night.
How much do we walk from here?
We just need to walk for 35 minutes.
- Did you research? - Awesome. Shall we go?
- Okay. - It's so far.
- It is. It'll feel like forever. - I know.
Wait, hold on.
What?
- We had one more luggage. - What?
- You didn't it bring it? - Luggage?
What are you talking about? It was yours.
The bus!
Sir!
- Stop! Sir! - Gosh...
- Sir! - How did he forget that?
- Can I get it a bit earlier? - It's so pretty.
- Okay. - It really is.
My luggage's back tomorrow morning.
It's okay. We can have food in this luggage.
- It's only cooking utensils there. - What?
Do we starve then? You should've told us.
I brought instant noodles just in case.
I have food, too.
Apples.
- No. I don't allow it. - Hey.
What choice do we have? We can't starve.
Hold on.
I can't believe you thought of working.
You'll survive anywhere.
People will feed you as long you work anywhere.
I feel ashamed suddenly.
There's a storm tonight. I'm glad you came.
Farmer: Harvest the unripe ones first.
- Okay. - Okay.
Gosh, look at him. I can't believe how skillful he is.
It's your lucky day. It's a homegrown chicken tonight!
- Really? - Really?
With young people here, I feel so energized.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
It's going to be good!
- Dad. - Yes.
Dress like that every day.
What?
- Do I look good? - You look rich.
I'm rich even if I don't dress like this.
I don't dress up since I'm always busy.
- Why are you dressed up today? - You don't have to know.
Look at you. Where are you going again?
I have an important plan.
You idle all day. What plan can you have?
Jun, isn't it hot?
Hey, are you going out to meet a chick?
Goodness, why would you ask so directly?
I have my privacy.
Pri... Goodness.
Privacy, my ass.
Right, Jun?
Dad.
Does my hair look better pushed this way or that way?
- Let's see. - Look. This way.
- Come closer. - One, two.
- I don't care. - Come on.
Don't stay out too late, wasting your time.
Fine.
Bye.
Have fun on your date!
A date?
Jun, is your dad on a date?
Yes.
Jaehun, you lost!
Where's Daebeom?
He's awesome!
He's so good.
Let's go back in.
Did you come out first?
Daebeom's not as patient as he looks.
Daebeom lost!
The loser deserves splashes!
You take splashes, too!
Don't!
You even brought the ukulele?
I didn't know you brought it.
- Music is a must for a trip. - Are you good?
- Yeoreum. - I'm not bad.
- Really? - Have a peach.
Sorry, I should've washed them.
- It's juicy. - Hey.
Juicy? Nice!
- Hey! - Yes.
- Should we enjoy the music? - We'll see how you do first.
He's good.
Bom is coming
- Bom is coming - Is he talking about you?
I'm with you
- You're smiling. - And that's the best part
Yeoreum,Yeoreum is coming
Yeoreum is coming
- Daebeom. - Daebeom is coming
- Daebeom's shy. - Daebeom's coming
Are you shy?
- Stand up. - Together.
- I'm with you - Daebeom, stand up.
I'm with you
And that's the best part
Clap!
Well done!
Don't be stingy. I want a peach, too!
Be careful!
Hey, you...
What? Do I look good?
What's with the suit?
- I see you like what you see. - It's disturbing.
What's the menu? I'm hungry.
I called Angok Garden
and ordered a big, meaty carp.
It's too hot. Let's not go that far.
Hey, still...
I want to cheer you up with good food.
Are you wearing a cologne?
- Gosh... - What?
- Do I smell nice? - I'll get my keys.
No!
Today, you can hop on my motorcycle.
We're not in high school!
It's to relive our memories.
- Come on. Wear it. - Jesus.
- This is too embarrassing. - Hop on.
- Of all the transport. - Hold on tight.
- Otherwise you'll fall. - Did you see a matchmaker?
Matchmaker, my ass.
- It's a good day. That's why. - Your cologne!
Hold tight!
You dressed up for me.
I always wear this.
- What a nice view! - Be quiet!
What's wrong with you? Let's be quiet.
Isn't the natural A/C nice?
Fine, it's nice.
I'm all you have, aren't I?
- Screw you. - "Screw you."
Stop...
Let's go have nice food!
I just don't get it.
Why is he doing this to us? Why?
Yeoreum. Don't you want to try it at least once?
No. Not at all.
Daebeom. What about you?
I'm fine, too.
This sucks.
- I was excited when he said chicken. - I know.
You knew it'd be alive.
I'm starving to death.
- Let's kill it. - Who will?
- Rock, paper, scissors! - Now?
Rock, paper, scissors!
This is wild.
It's so good.
I was going to put eggs...
But it kept staring.
You made the right choice.
It could be the cauldron, but the noodles taste better.
Right? And I told you I made awesome noodles when we first met.
What do you think?
It's so good.
- I'm so full. - That was great.
I'm happy about the noodles,
- but why did we work? - Hey.
Think about who made us work in the first place,
Hello.
Now?
I was told they'll bring it tomorrow morning.
- Okay, thanks. - What? Who was that?
The bus company will bring the luggage to the bus stop.
Now?
But we even had dinner already.
- I know. - It's fine.
We can have dinner-like breakfast.
Should we come along?
No, no.
Come with me.
Thanks for cleaning up. See you.
- Bye. - See you!
Bom.
- Yes. - This is nice.
What is?
It's nice to be here with you when it's dark.
Stop it.
When's the bus coming? Is it even coming?
I was so happy when I first met you.
Hey, be honest.
You were kicked out because you talked too much, right?
It's the opposite.
I clammed up at first in the US because kids teased my poor English.
When did you first go?
In the sixth grade.
Did you come back because of English?
My English improved over time.
But kids teased me for being Asian when I pronounced words wrong.
I couldn't take it anymore and punch one kid.
What? You did?
That's when my parents realized it was serious and sent me here.
They must have been really upset.
No.
I bet they're happy without me.
They're embarrassed by me.
They're both really smart, but I'm a black sheep.
They're well-known as professors of psychology.
But they don't know how their son feels.
The bus's here.
Hello. I'm here for the luggage.
There it is. Look how meaty it is.
Stop.
I'll do it for you.
- Isn't that gut? - It's meat.
Have it with rice.
It's nice.
You can't have this in Seoul.
Help yourself. As much as you can.
Thanks.
Your favorite drink.
Rice wine.
- Don't drink. - You know I don't drink.
You know...
Jiyeong.
I invited you to dinner because...
What is it?
It's hard for men and women to stay friends.
But we've been friends for years.
But...
You know...
Jiyeong...
- I... - Seongmin.
Can you do me a favor as a friend?
Of course.
Ask me anything. I'll do anything.
Kick that woman out from your building.
Who? Yeoreum?
Out of the blue? Yeoreum's a good person.
In what way?
Quitting her job to live like a bum?
Is that attractive?
- I'm not saying... - That's...
irresponsible and incompetent.
Don't you think I'd want that?
Many people survive and work hard when it's hard.
- Am I wrong? - You're right.
And why does she rile others up when she can be a bum alone?
Was Yeoreum mean to you?
Daebeom is...
He's acting weird because of her.
Jiyeong, do you...
Did you cry because...
Daebeom changed so much.
What should I do?
I think I like Daebeom.
- Bom. - Yes.
Do you know when I my crush on you started?
Come on. Stop being gross.
When we were in the same class...
"In a region near the Middle East, called the "Fertile Crescent,"
"the earliest known wheat was domesticated"
"and grown in about 8500 BCE."
Kids teased me for being a show-off
and for being a smarty pants.
- I thought I was the same in Korea. - Quiet.
I thought I have no place here, either.
In the end, I hated myself.
Even my parents hate me. Who would like me?
It wasn't racist in the US. It was me.
Be quiet.
I'm the problem.
"It spread west Greece and Germany over a period..."
So I just listened to music during the recess.
I ran away, trying to look uninterested.
This is what you listen to every day.
It's not bad.
But...
You were the first person who talked to me.
You won't remember, though.
When I'm with you...
I like that I can talk less.
It's the opposite for me.
When I'm with you...
I find myself keep talking.
Ever since I was young...
Talking to someone has been...
such a burden to me.
Daebeom.
Since that day...
I kept thinking.
If I had never quit...
If I had never come to see the beach...
If I had never entered the library...
If I had never lived in the billiard center...
If I hadn't done at least one of them...
You wouldn't have fallen ill.
Only if I hadn't done one of them...
When you first came to Angok...
And the next day,
when you came to make the member's card...
When we spent that night at the library...
When you got drunk...
and I had to bring you home...
That's...
When we had ice cream at the library...
When we interviewed the senior lady...
Also...
When we jogged in the morning...
I was happy.
You know...
Because you came to Angok...
I'm sincerely happy.
It's raining.
Let's just walk.
Just walk?
Yes.
Okay.
It's nice and cool.
- I remember, too. - What?
I remember.
How can I not remember that day?
Thank you.
I called a taxi.
You can't ride in the rain. Come with me.
I've been riding all my life.
But it's raining.
- Don't be stupid. Get in. - It's here.
- Come! - Get in first.
- Jiyeong, bye. - Hey.
- Sir, go ahead. - Get in!
You know...
I've loved walking in the rain since I was young.
I wouldn't use an umbrella on purpose.
I heard about Bom's hospital fee.
About your work in Seoul, too.
I think it's too good to pass up.
Yeoreum...
You want me to go to Seoul, right?
Yes.
When it rained during my childhood,
I also didn't use an umbrella.
Fresh shrimps are here. It's on sale today only!
Hello, sir. Don't you want shrimps?
Are you sure? We have good shrimps.
It's shrimp season.
- Thank you. - He's good.
- Shrimps? - Do you work every day?
- Don't you want shrimps? - No.
- Not on Monday. - Are you sure?
It'd be hot since it's summer.
- Is it better than waitressing? - Yes.
- Today only. Hi, sir. - It pays better.
You sound like an adult.
- Have a look then. Thank you. - I almost forgot.
It was on sale online. It reminded me of you.
Are you sure? We have good shrimps.
I won't draw anymore.
- I don't care. Just keep them. - Shrimps are here.
- Shrimps are here! - Jaehun's so good.
What if he takes your place?
Hey, Jaehun!
Take it easy. It's my turn now.
- It's my turn! My turn! - No!
Hey! Give me that. Now.
- Hey, come on. - Hello.
"I eat well here."
"I exercise every day. I've gotten much better."
"Looking back with a clear mind..."
"I want to apologize to you badly."
"And to my kids, too."
"You never had a real break."
"My poor mom."
"When I go back home, I'll treat you well."
"Please tell Bom and Haneul I said hi."
Jeongho.
All I want is for him to be well.
I'm sorry for troubling you.
You're not.
Don't tell Bom.
But she'll be happy if she reads the letter.
Hey...
Can I ask one more thing?
What is it?
I'm a bit embarrassed...
Come on. What is it?
Yeoreum.
Is learning how to read and write hard?
I want to...
write back to Jeongho to say we're doing well.
Thank you.
That's better.
You'll get heatstroke, wearing the hat. Is this necessary?
You only earn a little more.
What did you just say?
- I just worry about you. - Jaehun.
I don't know what "Little" means to you.
But that "Little" is important to me.
Sorry. I was being silly.
Are you scared?
What?
I asked if you were scared, silly.
Come on.
You scared me.
It feels like my world's crumbling when you're mad.
Crumble, my ass.
I want to travel again.
Me, too.
It was nice.
Hey.
What's that sneaky smile?
- You know. - Stop! You must be crazy.
Bom, we've crossed the line.
I don't understand what you're saying.
- Wait up. - Don't follow me.
Go into the folder.
You need to label them. Compare and attach.
Type the titles.
You need to number it.
Do this first.
- Enter them. - Okay.
Refer to the list. It's just a manual work.
Yeoreum.
How are you?
About jogging in the morning...
- Right. - I didn't see you.
Well, it's...
My trainers.
My trainers are ripped.
Right...
I can't run for a while.
Right...
Also...
I'm going to Seoul tomorrow.
Right...
That's good.
You'll do fine.
Part-timer! Show me where the storage is.
Yeoreum, one second.
- You have to go out. - It's outside?
Yes, it's close.
I'll be back.
Yeoreum.
Thanks.
Sure thing.
That feels good, right?
Gyeoul, you look like a city dog after a shower.
Goodness, you're so cute.
What else can I do?
Should I clean the bathroom?
Does it hurt?
I asked if it hurts!
- The number you have called... - Of all times...
- Sir. - Yes.
I don't know the exact size, but it's for an eight-year-old boy.
He's slightly chubby.
Size 120 to 130 is perfect for eight-year-olds.
But 140 would be better, considering kids grow fast.
Do you have this in that size?
One second. I'll have a look.
People I like and I don't like always coexist.
I can't really do much about that.
But...
when I dislike someone, it ends there.
When it comes to the ones I like,
I end up feeling sad because I like them.
Get up.
People who made me extremely sad have been...
the ones I extremely loved.
The amount of sadness is...
exactly as big as how much I love them.
So now...
it makes me afraid to love someone.
I don't want...
to be sad in my life anymore.
What a drama queen.
Daebeom!
Daebeom, Daebeom!
Yeoreum.
There you are.
What brought you here?
Well, I...
About Seoul...
Have a safe trip back.
What?
About Seoul.
Have a safe trip...
and a safe trip back.
Right...
I'll be back safely.
I...
I haven't canceled the movie tickets.
Yeoreum.
They're for you.
- What are they? - They're trainers.
You said your trainers are ripped.
But I'm not sure about the size...
Your trainers...
They look fine.
They are.
They are fine now.
Then run twice more for me.
Okay.
It's nice.
It's summer.
Library for a happy life and future
If you go to the far left at the library,
you'll see a seat.
That's my favorite spot.
I can't believe he hogged a nice seat like this.
- Hello. Thank you. - Hello.
- Sure. Go ahead. I'll park. - Okay.
Come to the third floor.
Professor's already there. Let's go.
Don't be nervous. Just say as it is comfortably.
We're here.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Now...
- Leave it. I'll clean. - It's okay.
- Where's Bom? - I think she's changing.
Leave it. I'll clean.
- Goodness. - Hey.
Bom.
See you.
That's ice cream cake for everyone.
Thank you.
Don't buy stuff for her. It'll make my life harder.
Why not? She liked it.
It's too expensive.
The better, the merrier!
Jaehun, do you know how much I get paid a day?
- Sorry, I'll buy a cheaper... - Careful!
- You almost hit us! - Lunatic! Hey, be careful!
- Isn't he from the gang you fought? - What?
They don't ride motorcycles.
Who the hell are you?
He must be crazy! Hey!
Bom, move!
- Hey, Daeho! - Bom!
- When did you come out? - Just now.
Your grandma told me you're here, so I came.
Hey, you should've told me if you're coming out.
- I can't believe you didn't! - Wait, you grew an inch.
- I did? - You used to be tinier.
I've been the same height since middle school.
You look slimmer.
- I just exercised! - Hey!
Stop! Get off.
Who is he?
- Well, he's my... - Can't you tell? I'm her boyfriend.
I see many things happened.
Many things... So who are you?
He's my best friend. A childhood friend.
- Best friend? - Yes.
So what if he's a...
Let's reminisce later. Come on.
Hey! Seriously...
See you around.
- Okay. Bye. - Bye.
Also...
- You are... - Jaehun. Heo Jaehun.
Okay. Nice meeting you.
- Drive safely. - Bye.
Bye!
What's wrong?
He's just a friend.
You hug a friend like that?
We're very close. He's my best friend.
You can come today.
I'll see you soon.
Summer Strike
The CCTV up there caught Geunho. Did anything happen?
I guess...
you're reluctant to report him.
It's like you're in my head.
Grandma might replace me with you.
You're on holiday here, right?
Can't you think you had bad luck during the vacation?
Keep it between us! I'm sorry.
Grandma, where did she go with all the lights out?
