Flower Boy Next Door
[Episode 7]
Being treated as an elder or judged as an older brother because I'm older...
I hate things like that.
So... let's just talk as friends.
The sun's too bright in my eyes.
I'm really curious to hear what you're about to say.
Pretending not to like someone you like, or pretending to like someone you hate...
I can't do things like that.
Do you not like me either then?
Not, either?
Why? Does someone else not like you?
I'm gathering up quite a base of anti-fans lately.
What?
Why? You seem to be quite a decent rascal unlike the rumors I've heard about you.
You know that 'rascal' isn't an insult, right?
You're familiar with that much Korean, right?
Yeah.
Jin Rak!
You're a pretty okay rascal yourself!
Ugh... you decent rascal!
Okay... well...
But anyway...
Even though I don't know you very well, in case I do come to dislike you...
That's why I asked you up here so that we could talk.
I was really curious about that too. Why? Why? Why?
Why would you come to dislike me?
Why? Why? Why?
[Pride and prejudice and misunderstanding.]
Wait!
Don't you think you should go up to the roof and check on them?
And why did he leave these with me?
What... are you going to do about these?
And... there is bad blood between the two up on the roof...
that you don't know about.
Just like you do with me...
I wish that you were more clear about your actions with men.
Then such childish situations like this wouldn't happen.
And also...
You don't want to accept this?
Do you even know what's in these boxes?
Our memories are inside these boxes!
Awful wench...
Excuse me...
Who are you here to see?
Oh Jin Rak in Apartment 401.
So it's not Oh Jae Won this time?
What about him?
He's to be prosecuted for fraud and illegal money lending.
Ah, fraud and illegal money lending... What!
Listen, earlier... earlier in the hallway...
What did you mean by that?
You asking if she's just going to keep on watching from the side?
Who's watching whom?
- I know that you like her. - Me?
- You confessed to her. - What did you say?
When did I do that? I haven't confessed my feelings yet.
- Really? - Yeah, really.
That's strange. From the way I saw it, it looked like you were confessing to her.
What... what did you see?
From the look on your face, I was right, you did confess.
- You love confessing fool, you! - Hey... what is a love confession?
What... "I like you. Let's starting dating."
"Let's be lovers from now on"... things like that?
I'm telling you this now, but this is clearly a form of violence.
A form of violence!
If that's the way you think
how does anyone start a relationships?
Someone has to confess their feelings first.
No, that's not true.
Without there being any need to confess their feelings
if people take their time and fully get to know one another...
At some point...
I'm sure at some point someone will confess their feelings for the other.
"I love you, Go Dok Mi".
You... you... by any chance...
- Did you confess your love to her? - Huh?
Why would I confess any love for her?
Then what the heck is all this!
Why did you have to pull calm, serene Dok Mi who was living quietly on her own
out of her comfort zone by barging into her home and shaking her all up!
I haven't shaken up anything! And you said it right!
Go Dok Mi is too quiet of a person like a still water pond by nature.
And also, in another month's time, I'm going to return to Spain.
- Until then, I'm just... - Until then, what?
What are you saying you're going to do until then?
You're saying you'll crash into her like a tidal wave or something until then?
That lady is not someone who'd be shaken even if the tidal wave's
were to move in on her like a tropical storm!
And... even though you've watched over her for as long as you have
you know even less about the lady than I do.
You really were planning on getting to know her really, really slowly, huh?
Don't you think I'd know her better since I've been watching over her
for more than three years now?
Oh... is that right?
Do you know what Miss Go Dok Mi's dream is?
Dream?
Did you know that she has a leek plant that's this big in her house?
She has a leek plant in her house?
Did you know that she likes travel documentaries?
Do you know...
Do you know how many times she goes to the post office a week?
You don't' know that, do you?
Do you know how much Dok Mi loves trash?
Huh?
No, that's not it. That's a little weird.
Do you know how hard Dok Mi works separating all the recyclables every night?
Just how many books she checks out every time she goes to the library...
Do you know which books she's read more than ten times?
You don't know, do you?
Jin Rak, you're awesome!
I'll help you out, and put in a good word for you.
Wow... you're really cool!
Enough! Enough, enough!
Put in a good word for whom?
Help out with what?
Aren't you... involved with Dok Mi?
I bet Dok Mi would be really upset if she heard what you were saying.
It's totally not like that!
They all start off by saying, it's not like that.
He says it's not like that!
I told you, no one by that name lives here.
This is my house and he's just one of my alumni.
We know who Oh Jin Rak is and that he lives in this house.
Why?
How?
By any chance...
Is he by any chance on the wanted list?
Both of you know nothing about women.
Women are like onions.
No matter how many layers you peel off, there's just no end to them.
I'm getting a strange feeling.
Anyway...
I'm saying that Go Dok Mi has a different side to her than how you both think of her.
Listen to me carefully.
This is something that happened during sophomore year of our high school.
Back then...
We both...
were in the midst of our first loves.
First love?
During sophomore year of high school...
We both liked the literature teacher who taught at our school.
What the heck is that? The story is so weak and obvious!
You could've just thrown a punch or two at each other and made up.
But what kind of a style did that literature teacher have?
So if you're to compare him to a celebrity, who would you say that he looked like?
That happened so long ago... how am I to remember his style?
It was so long ago, who the hell knows...
His style...
was very cool. I can remember it so clearly.
Your name is...
It's Enrique.
Enrique?
You look so much like what the literature teacher looked like.
So that's why... Dok Mi must like you.
What do you mean, she likes me?
You keep throwing off nonsense at us!
You have no idea how much that lady can't stand me!
She doesn't even treat me like a human being!
How bad do you think it must be for her to ask me not to even acknowledge her anymore!
Then you shouldn't have acknowledged her then!
She's asked you not to acknowledge her, and doesn't treat you like a human being!
So why did you have to barge into her house
and have to shake up Dok Mi who's quiet and calm as a still pond...
It's because of work! How many times did I tell you it was for work!
How many times do I have to tell you that! I've made that very clear to you earlier!
Seriously! What's wrong with you! What!
You built up so much suspense like it was something so important...
But it was just a story of your first loves while you were in high school?
I'm just about to get to the point of the story!
Do you think you can handle it?
We used to be best friends and were very close.
But with the arrival of the lit teacher, our friendship grew apart.
The lit teacher used to favor me a lot because I was very good at writing.
He even called me over so that he could lend me some books.
But...
Dok Mi... crossed the line that she never should've crossed as a student.
She became obsessed.
"If I can't have him, I'm going to crush them both!"
Well... I guess that's what she felt?
The lit teacher couldn't even last the year, and put in a request for a transfer.
And a rumor spread all over school that it was all because of Dok Mi's doing.
Dok Mi... stopped speaking and didn't speak to anyone until she graduated.
She didn't speak? At all?
- She must've had Aphasia. - I can't tell you any more than that.
Since its about Dok Mi's private life.
It must've been so lonely for her.
[Honey, where's my underwear?]
Why is she asking me this question? How would I know?
Excuse me...
Does Oh Jin Rak know that he's being indicted?
Isn't it that you can only arrest people who's been proven to be guilty?
Which department are you two from?
Do you two have proper identification to prove who you are?
If you two can't provide proper identification...
You wouldn't mind if I called the police?
What are you doing up here anyway? In this cold weather?
No kidding.
And why tell us all that about your friend when we didn't even ask you for it?
Oh Jin Rak, the fraud and illegal... What was it again?
Fraud... you're being indicted for committing two different types of fraud.
You can't go down from here. Just stay up here for now.
What? Oh Jin Rak?
Who's Oh Jin Rak?
Who do you think it is?
Who is he?
It's just someone we know. It's an older friend of mine.
An older friend of mine.
You shouldn't be put through all this trouble because of your friend.
You should make sure that they never come here again.
Wait, wait, wait...
Come on, it's no big deal. There's no need to go downstairs. Also...
It's not that much trouble. It's okay.
Those two guys didn't look like they were here to joke around.
Two of them came?
Hello?
Yes.
Those guys left.
Why did they leave when I was just about to go downstairs?
But, wait!
Dok Mi's not the only one who's having a tough time.
Whenever I think about what happened... I really have a tough time with it.
I really want to go back to the time when we used to be best friends.
Do you really want to apologize to her?
Of course, I do! Can't you tell by all the effort I'm making?
- There's a way... - There's a way...
What does "having crossed a line that a student shouldn't have crossed" mean?
Can't be...
Jin Rak... Mr. Oh Ji Rak... I mean, Mr. Oh Jin Rak!
What?
I'm going to ask you the same question you once asked me.
Are you a clear person?
No, you don't' even have to be clear.
But you're not a crook, right?
- No, I'm not. - Then what is this?
Fraud, and illegal money lending?
Did two guys in black suits come by here?
Those two guys are the crooks. It's not me.
I did make a mistake back in the day when I was younger.
But it's all been resolved now.
A mistake in the past?
So there is something. There is something you're hiding.
And if you really had taken care of it
strange guys like that wouldn't be coming around.
I'm going to ask you all the questions I need to figure out if it was a mistake or
if you're a crook. So tell me everything. Everything!
I don't want to.
You don't want to? I knew that you wouldn't want to.
Then... I want you to leave this house.
This is my house.
Okay, okay, okay...
I'll take care of it so that they never come around again. Okay?
But those two left a lot quicker than I thought they would.
Those guys aren't your average guys, you know.
It's because of Apartment 402.
Apartment 402 is normally...
So I thought that she was a mute that didn't even know how to talk.
"I'm going to call the police if you two can't provide proper identification."
When she said it, the glint in her eyes, and the way she spoke was like ice.
She has a past. A dark past.
Well... I guess in that sense, the two of you really do suit each other.
So what you're saying is...
She... believed me?
Lady, you can't focus on work, can you?
You're too curious about what Jae Won and I talked about, aren't you?
I'm more comfortable with you addressing me as 'Miss Editor'.
And what you wrote towards the end is good and doesn't need a lot of editing.
I think we'll be able to finish this soon.
Don't forget to pack up any of your stuff. With you taking so much stuff out...
What if you finish quickly? What, then you can kick me out?
Is that a top speed magic pen? Why are you so quick?
Lady, ah fine... Miss Editor.
Did you know that there's a meeting at three this afternoon?
It's three o'clock now.
This is... why are you here?
Hello.
Why are you here yourself?
Me?
I... this.
[A cooking lesson by Watanabe- Paella!]
And he made the judgment call for us.
So then the compensation was given...
I have a friend in Japan too. I know how to speak Japanese.
You have a friend in Japan?
I can speak some Japanese.
- You can speak Japanese? - Sure, I can
Why don't we start with 401's portion?
401... 401 got theirs. 402, here you go.
I've never once even participated in any of the demonstrations.
- I can't accept the money. - None of us really did much.
It's okay for you to accept it.
Yes, yes... take the money.
With the condition that you attend the cooking class once a week
the homeowner is making a special exception and giving the money to the renters too.
What did I tell you?
I told you that you could end up making a ton of money if you just keep up with it.
Those strange men from earlier...
No, that's not it.
Miss Dok Mi... will you give me the chance to explain it all to you later on?
Excuse me... we're being given the money just so that we can learn to cook?
Is the homeowner nuts?
Seriously, do I really need to spell this out?
By telling you this I'm putting my precious job on the line...
But don't you feel anything when you look at the Madame from 404?
Elegance that she can't hide...
Sense of class that she emanates from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.
- She's the home owner? - She's the home owner?
Bingo!
In a word, she's the undercover boss.
You're all really going to take the cooking lessons?
I'm so happy!
Let's all live together like this for a long time to come, okay?
- Yes, Madame. - Yes, Madame.
Ah! That's right!
There was a young lady standing outside... Miss, why aren't you coming in?
She was standing outside.
Director Cha!
Hello.
I'm your neighbor from across the street who loves cooking
and the name is Cha Do Hwi.
Dok Mi... hi.
Ta da!
This is Dok Mi's and this is Do Hwi's.
I'll help you.
Just what in the world happened up on that rooftop?
Pretend like you're really close.
Act like you want to apologize to her, okay?
Come to the cooking classes.
- Wow... you two look so cute. - Wow... you two look so cute.
Everyone...
Let's start our cooking.
Can you please translate for us?
Please translate.
- Sure, sure.. - Okay.
Okay. We're going to learn how to cook a dish called Paella today.
The word Paella is derived from the word, pan in Latin.
The dish is originated by gypsies who always traveled with only one pan in their pack.
The biggest paella ever recorded in the Guinness Book records was for 10,000 people.
It's a dish that poor people share to pass the cold and escape from hunger.
That's why to share a paella dish is to share life's burden with others.
It's a dish that encompasses friendship, love, reconciliation and forgiveness.
So... he's basically saying that it's a really delicious dish.
Is that all?
He says it's a very special dish that only he knows how to cook.
He basically said that you guys are very lucky right now.
He talked for a really long time. Are you sure that's what he said?
I kind of heard him saying something about Guinness Book of records showing
10,000 people eating it?
It means something like that.
Japanese words tend to be longer than Korean words tends to be.
- I'm done, I'm done. - Was it okay?
- Of course. - Thank you.
Thank you.
He wants you to drink it.
Is it good?
It's delicious.
He wants you to do this.
It really does smell really nice.
Oh... can you take a please for me, please?
Jae Won, what are you doing?
Why don't you get a little closer?
You're not standing close enough. I can't get all three of you in here.
Hurry up and get a little closer.
Okay...
Here we go.
Jin Rak...
You look good in all these pictures.
This one is the best one of me.
Dok Mi, you look pretty good too.
- Thank you. - This is really good.
Is it good?
You can have the shrimp and the mussels.
You know this is good for you, right? Here, you eat all of it.
Madame...
- What are you doing right now? - Come on, don't be shy.
Come sit down over here. Join us.
Dok Mi... I'll see you soon!
That little brat!
Jae Won, I'll invite you over casually, okay?
Invite?
Into Miss Dok Mi's house? But that's not your house.
Anyways... when I call you, just come on over, okay?
Understood?
I'll see you later.
Let's talk.
I heard the story from your friend.
It must've been tough.
To have had aphasia.
I know what that's like.
After Seo Young lost her parents, she had aphasia for three years.
She even had to undergo treatments from a psychiatrist and everything.
But then one day... she called out to me and said, 'Kkae-Geum!'
And ever since, she started saying everything that she's been bottling up for three years.
She just talked on and on nonstop ever since and has been a chatterbox.
What Seo Young needed was time.
I'm sure they're painful memories that Seo Young wanted to keep to herself.
Is it okay for you to be telling someone so easily like this?
I'm not telling it to you easily.
I'm telling you this since I don't consider you a stranger.
I bet I know more about aphasia than your average doctor because of Seo Young.
There are instances where people stop speaking out of their own will...
and there are instances where they can't speak as if something's blocking them.
Seeing how you're living in hiding like this...
It means that you haven't recovered yet.
Miss Go Dok Mi...
A legendary goalkeeper once said...
"You don't block a ball which can't be blocked".
How cool is that?
It's the same with any emotional scars.
If something can't be blocked, then don't try to block it.
You can't play soccer with goalkeeper alone.
It's okay for you to ask for help from other players.
Your friend says she wants to reconcile with you.
How about it?
Will you please leave?
I'll talk to the publisher about this project, so get out of here right now.
The literature teacher isn't the problem.
Do Hwi is the problem here.
The closer the relationship, the deeper the scar runs.
So instead of just avoiding the issue, stand up to her and fight it out!
You think because you memorized a few lines from a psych book, you know everything?
Do you know what the most commonly searched words are about you?
Enrique, the loud mouth. Enrique, the king of arrogance.
Enrique, the plagiarist. Enrique, and his private life.
They're all empty, hollow, words.
You've lived your whole life acting like you're better than everyone
and as if you know everything about the world. But...
Leave me out of it.
Don't speak like you know who I am.
What do you think your key search words are?
Ah... you hate things like that, don't you?
You stay in hiding because you're afraid of others judging you, don't you?
But still, some man has been watching you for all these years and made up
a whole slew of new honorable key search words for you.
A woman who receives her mail from the post office in packages.
A woman who checks out books on a long term basis from the library.
I guess they're not just empty hollow words.
But there's no warmth of life to them.
Why do you even collect those travel pictures?
This house is your whole world anyways, isn't it?
I don't need any warmth.
I like the way my life is right now, so...
From my life and my place... I want you to leave.
I don't care about the key words made up by people who don't know me.
But you know who I am. Even if it's a little bit.
Calling me a hollow shell?
That's a bit harsh.
I'll just take it that you said those words so you can cut me out of your life...
so I'll cut you out of mine too.
What are you doing with that suitcase?
Is Jae Won here?
There used to be a person who lived here by the name Jae Won...
But there's someone else who lives here under a different legal name now.
Will you just get him for me?
Enrique is asking for Oh Jae Won with a frog looking face at the door.
Oh Jin Rak... what are you going to do?
He's standing out there with a suitcase.
If you let him move in, I'll tell everyone who you are.
Three people can't live here.
Jae Won...
I have something to talk to you about... let's go inside and talk for a minute.
Wait, wait, wait!
Wait, let's go talk outside. You can't just barge into someone else's home.
What the heck?
Why does everyone block the way, and won't let me come inside?
Seriously!
What's wrong with you?
Jae Won...
I'm usually a very tenacious person.
But... I give up.
Why?
Why are you giving up?
I don't know about that lady anymore
so I'll leave her in your care since you describe her in such honorable search terms.
But I still feel a little better knowing that you're here for her.
What do you mean, honorable search terms?
I'm tired.
I'll call you.
When your love is rejected by the person you love the most...
When your betrayed by the person that you're closest to...
That's when your self-abasement begins.
You hide out in a space that's your own and close out your heart.
I can't just pass by those people when I find them.
You didn't...
go to work?
I turned in my resignation.
Ah... I see.
See? What did I tell you? Didn't I tell you it would be a week at most?
Kkae-Geum... are you done with your pouting now?
I overreacted last time.
And I spoke too harshly over nothing.
Come on, don't say things like that.
I did some reflecting, and I've come back to reconcile.
It must be because it's a new model, with it being so slim.
There's a soccer game on late tonight... You'll watch it with us, right?
I'm too tired. Why don't just the two of you watch it?
Hey... what's wrong with you?
Something happened, didn't it?
Barcelona's playing!
If you won't watch the Barcelona game, then who else is going to watch it?
Tae Joon...
Do you know what my key search terms are?
It says that I have a son.
I'm a total human trash.
One woman told me that I'm nothing but a hollow shell
and that's I'm a loud jerk who acts like I'm better than anyone else.
And because of that, I'm in a really lousy mood right now.
- Please understand, okay? - You...
You usually don't care what other people say about you.
Game makers are evil... they must die...
Even when they said things like that, you didn't pay any attention to them.
Who is this woman?
The important thing right now isn't your search terms, but that woman. Isn't it?
I've totally got you now.
Hurry up and spill it.
I'm tired.
I'm going to go in and get some rest.
- Go into settings and turn on 3D... - And then turn the glasses on.
Yeah... let's not pay it anymore attention.
To that woman, a scar was like falling into the deep water.
All the onlookers who don't know the depth of the scars...
keeps asking why she can't just pull herself out of the water.
There are too many people who are oblivious and belittle strangers' scars.
That woman didn't want to hear those empty words.
At least one person...
At least... from that one person.
Yes, Senior.
[Edited by Go Dok Mi]
The royalties you'll receive is 2% of the sales.
Come with your seal, bank account information and your personal ID, okay?
Do you really have a son?
Not only a son, but I have a daughter, and even a wife.
- No, no, no... - No, he's just teasing.
So what this is all about is...
You know how I lost everything when I was 17 years old?
So I'm just implying that all the characters inside my games are my sons, and daughters!
They're all members of my family!
Family... all my family!
Yes, I'm on my way.
But... what do you think about changing the jacket cover to red?
Ever since I was a kid, my lucky color has been red.
How do I put this... Enrique Geum's lucky...
Who are you?
You've picked the wrong person!
Stop right there! You're dead!
Stop right there!
Get back here!
I said, stop!
Fine, take it! Just take it!
Just take it! I won't chase you anymore, so just go!
What lousy luck.
It would be nice if you'd let me see your face like this once in a while.
Why don't you read through the contract?
- No, it's okay. - I can understand where you're coming from.
But you need to resolve your issue with the writer.
Aren't the two of you pretty close?
Enrique called me to let me know that he was on his way.
But I wonder why he isn't here yet.
No. I feel that I've made my point very clear, so I'm going to get going now.
Your dream is to write a children's book?
I didn't know that was your dream.
Why don't you write one now?
I think your children's book will become a huge hit.
You can beat Harry Potter.
I completely understand where Miss Go Dok Mi is coming from.
Her dream is to be a writer of her own.
I'm sure she wants the first book with her name on the cover to be one of her own.
I've made another mistake.
I'm bringing home carryout for three.
I'll be home soon.
That's right by the house.
Okay.
- This has nothing to do with Kkae-Geum. - Let go.
- Seo Young... - Let go!
The meat definitely tastes better when it's raised by a local farmer.
Of course, that's a given.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
You're going to come to the cooking lesson next week too, right?
That's...
Okay, deal.
Why does he keep speaking in Japanese to me?
- Work hard. - I'll see you later.
Go wait inside.
If we can't work things out, I'll just have to go back to being Oh Jae Won.
But then...
It's going to make things a little uncomfortable for the two of you.
Everything you'll need... is in this envelope.
You can check for yourself.
Why are you giving me this?
If I keep receiving something, then I'll have to give something.
Here. Give and take.
I'll contact you... so don't contact me first.
And enjoy those oranges.
You must be on your way home from somewhere.
So what this is about, is...
Those people are...
Do... Miss Dok Mi!
Will you... please hear me out with what I have to say?
I'm...
a little tired today.
Really? Of course!
We can do this another time since we live next door.
Why don't we talk when it gets a little warmer?
You must be cold!
Why don't you go in? Quickly... it's cold!
Yoon Seo Young... What's wrong with you?
You knew about it, didn't you?
You knew about it, didn't you!
What? Know about what?
About Tae Joon leaving for the island.
You knew about it, didn't you!
Yeah... what about it?
You knew about Tae Joon's dreams.
- You knew what his dreams were. - Who cares about those dreams?
What importance do they hold!
Then what am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do!
What am I supposed to do now?

- Lady! - Oh my goodness!
Is that what you think?
Wow... just what do you think of me?
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
I like someone else.
I want to leave right now.
Come with me.
It's just a little curiosity when it comes to Go Dok Mi.
Don't' even wonder about her.
