Episode 48
Thanks for driving me home.
It's nothing.
And I'm taking this back!
Hey! Give it back!
Give it back!
- It's mine anyways! - You said I can ride it!
Give it back now!
You said I can ride it. Why are you breaking your promise?!
You rode enough. Give it back now!
- What's wrong? - What's going on?
Mrs. Ahn, Jong Suk won't give me back my scooter key.
I'm home.
Uncle, look at her. She's narcoleptic yet wants her scooter key back.
You're the one trying to run away from home with my scooter--
I did not!
Is this true?
- Give it back! - Uncle, stop her!
Hold on, hold on!
I was going to talk to you about this anyways.
Let's resolve this scooter issue while we're on it.
Ask Ha Sun to come over too.
Hold on, hold on!
So Jong Suk said he would hold on to the scooter key,
but he tried to run away from home a few times with that key.
She's making that up.
Why are you lying?
I'm sorry, but in that case, you can't, Jong Suk.
Then me! Me! Me! Pick me!
Ji Won, you can't either. Narcolepsy is a serious condition.
It's not that serious. How could've I ridden around if it's that serious?
You really can't!
Then me! Me! Me! I'll--
Ha Sun, what if it goes back to you?
She's definitely going to take it back if I hold onto it.
She would, right?
Then me! Me! I'll hold onto it!
Then since we have no other options, I'll--
Why is it so loud?
Then give it to him.
He can use it when he starts working at the delivery center tomorrow.
We can rent it from you and take Ji Won to school. It'll work out for everyone.
That's a really good idea.
We can do that then!
Everyone's ignoring me!
Why isn't anyone asking me for my opinion when it's my scooter--
We're all worried about you.
We're really worried you might get hurt.
We'll give it back to you if your symptoms go away.
Then it works out.
I'll drop you off at school tomorrow.
- I'm home! - It's really cold outside, isn't it?
It's freezing!
Did you have fun with your friends?
Yes.
Whether it's a job or boyfriend, everyone seems to be looking for something.
I'm jealous.
Why don't you go on a blind date and earn yourself a wolf fur coat?
Wolf fur coat?
I'd love to get one too but men seem to be looking in all the wrong places!
Do either of you know anyone interested in a blind date?
I have a friend who looks like Go So Young* we call her Go So Mi. (*Iconic Korean actress)
She's begging to be introduced to someone.
All my friends are in Texas.
Then what about Mr. Yoon?
Mr. Yoon?
He's kind of...
He's busy at the clinic and--
Not that one. The younger one!
Oh, the younger one!
We can really do that!
He'll be up for it, right?
I mentioned it to my friend, and she was interested.
I don't think there's any reason why Ji Suk wouldn't be interested.
Ha Sun, what is it?
The thing is...
Would you want to meet Jin Hee's friend?
- What? - She was just hired by a large company.
And she's got the looks, body, and personality. She has it all!
You should meet her. She looks like Go So Young so her nickname is Go So Mi.
No thanks.
Why not? Men line up to meet her.
Then tell her to meet the men in line.
If that's why you wanted to see me then I'll be leaving.
What the heck? Why doesn't he want to do it?
I don't know...
Good morning! Did you sleep well? Let's go!
It's okay. I'll just take the bus.
We can't do that. We made a promise!
Hurry and get on!
Welcome aboard! I'll make sure you get to your destination quickly and safely.
Let's go!
I heard about your symptoms and they're pretty serious.
Why have you been putting yourself in danger and riding this?
- It's not serious. - Liar!
You shouldn't lie!
I'm telling you as a father with a daughter the same age as you.
The most important thing in life is honesty.
Want me to tell you a story about honesty?
I've told Jong Suk and Soo Jung since they were young.
What is it?
Long ago, there was a child who always lied when asked questions.
One day he fell into a body of water.
A passerby saw him struggling in the water and asked him.
"Hey, are you drowning?"
Then you know how the liar responded?
What did he say?
"No!"
- So what happened? - What happened? He drowned to death.
What kind of story is that?
What do you mean? There's a life lesson to be learned.
Ji Suk.
What are you doing? Why are you staring at Ha Sun...
What is? Why are you here?
Do you by chance like Ha--
So that's why you didn't want to do it. No wonder...
When did you start liking Ha Sun?
I can't really say...
Have you not tried telling her?
Of course not! She has a boyfriend...
Why does that matter?
It's not like they're married or she started dating him because she likes him.
I think you have a good chance.
Just try telling her you like her.
How can I!
Why not?
Then you want me to tell her for you?
No no! Please don't!
You absolutely cannot!
Why not? I think you'll have a good chance if you tell her.
Regardless, please don't tell her.
If anything, I'll tell her later.
So please don't tell her, okay?
I'm begging you.
I came to ask you about the blind date again...
Alright.
Didn't know this before, but he has a cute, pure side to him.
Hey Kim Ji Won, right here!
Were you waiting for me?
Of course I waited for you.
- Get on. - I can go home alone.
I made a promise and intend to keep it.
Quickly, get on.
I saw a ddukbokki cart on the way here. Wanna grab a bite? (ddukbokki: spicy rice cakes)
- You're hungry, right? - I'm not hungry.
You'll get hungry. Let's go, I'll buy. Hop on!
I feel so much better now.
I didn't really eat all day and this looked so good!
You didn't eat anything today?
I was busy working.
Are you done? You want more?
- No. - Let's go.
How much is it?
1 order of ddukbokki and 1 order of soondae (soondae: Korean pork sausage)
And 4 fish cakes. That's 7,000 won total.
- But there's 5-- - Here you go!
The food was delicious! Let's go!
We had 5 fish cakes.
It's okay.
This morning you said we need to live an honest life.
The woman miscalculated. It's not my fault.
And this is all what makes life so much fun.
It kind of doesn't make sense.
I'm home.
Didn't you say you have dinner plans?
I was supposed to eat with Young Wook but an important lecture came up.
It's a good thing, because I'm tired.
It seems like you feel obligated to date him.
Does it seem like that?
Honestly, I'm still not that comfortable with him.
I'm sure it'll get better as time goes on.
The fact that you say that means it's not going to work.
It might mean you're meant to be with someone else...
Someone else?
Honestly, Ji Suk--
No!
Ji Suk, when did you get here?
Just now. You said you're going to grade these at home,
But you left them at school.
You're right. I'm so out of it lately.
- Jin Hee. - Yes?
I'd like a word with you.
What? Sure.
I asked you to keep it a secret and never tell her!
I didn't tell her.
You were going to tell her! I heard you!
I was just going to get a feel for what she thinks of you.
Why? I told you not to. Don't do it!
I just think it's so unfortunate!
Someone as charming as you is right next to her,
but she's dating that loser Go Young Wook.
Never mind all that. Don't tell her! Ever!
And even if she finds out, it'll be from me.
Okay?
Then instead of saying you like her,
- What if I say someone is interested-- - You can't!
Don't do that! Don't do it.
Then instead of interested,
- There's someone who thinks of her as a woman-- - No way!
Just don't say anything.
Then what about just compliments?
Compliments like what?
That I think you're good-looking.
Alright. That much is okay.
Really? Then what about dissing Go Young Wook?
That once you get to know him, he's a jerk.
And slowly pushing her to break up with him.
I don't want you to lie about him, but if it's the truth...
Alright, then I'll keep it just at that.
You can't do or say anything beyond that, okay?
Alright, I got it.
- Do you want a glass too? - I'm okay.
What did Ji Suk say to you? He seemed mad.
No he wasn't...we just...
Dr. Yoon asked him to relay a message to me.
I didn't realize it, but the more I see him, the more attractive Ji Suk is.
He's more and more attractive every time.
Right? Don't you think so too?
He's charismatic and has good manners.
I think he's attractive...
Yeah, Ji Suk is attractive.
But why are you suddenly acting like this?
What? No reason...
When do you think men are most attractive?
I don't know...
You know, like when your heart beats when you see a man with a six pack or something.
A six pack?
When men have their sleeves rolled up and back up the car with one hand on the wheel--
My heart races when I see that.
Back up the car?
I'm home.
Why are you late? Didn't the man next door pick you up from school?
He did, but we grabbed something to eat on the way.
- Why? - He seems kinda funny.
His words and actions contradict each other.
Did you just realize that?
He's Korea's #1 walking oxymoron.
I hate him!
I thought he was kinda fun.
Ha Sun, are you sleeping already?
Ha Sun, Ji Suk likes you.
Please break up with Go Young Wook and date Ji Suk instead! Please!
I'd like to.
- Oh my! - I'll eat the pig's feet!
Give me johk bahl! (johk bahl: pig's feet)
Do you have any stories to tell me today?
Like a story about honesty?
You want to hear a story?
Yes!
Let's see...what do we have...alright!
This morning I'll tell you about boundaries people shouldn't cross.
Boundaries?
Yup. It's also a story I've been telling my kids since they were young.
Yes.
A long time ago,
there was a mean kid who always crossed the line with people.
One day this kid crossed the ceasefire line.
So what do you think happened to him?
Did he die?
Exactly! You catch on quickly!
There are lines you shouldn't cross in life.
- If you want to be a good person-- - Mr. Ahn, I have a question.
What is it?
Why is the center traffic line to our right?
We almost died!
- Are you okay? - Yes!
You were telling me about lines I shouldn't cross in life.
And you crossed a line as you were saying it.
You sure are the master of oxymorons.
I am?
The master of oxymorons?
Yes. I realized it yesterday.
What the...
I'm a man of my words!
You are?
Are you mocking me?
I was trying to tell you stories appropriate for your young age.
Do you want me to tell you life-shattering stories next time?
Please do!
Ha Sun! Ji Suk!
Hi Jin Hee.
Why are you two together?
Is this what we call fate?
It's because we work at the same school.
You must have gotten off work early today.
Yup. Want to go to the grocery store together?
We don't really have anything to make banchan. (Korean side dishes)
Shall we?
Why don't you come with us?
It's hard for 2 women to carry everything back. Please volunteer your time and drive us.
Can you?
Sure. I have a few things to pick up too.
Will you? Then just a sec, I'm going to go change into some comfortable clothes.
Ji Suk, you know this is your chance, right?
What chance?
Ha Sun said she likes it when men back up the car with one hand and their sleeves rolled up.
You should do that since you're driving.
If possible, hold on to the parking pass between your teeth.
So weird...
Women fall for that kind of stuff.
There's something natural yet manly about it.
But your clothes...
Why don't you go inside and change into a shirt?
A white shirt if possible.
Why?
You really don't know much about women.
Women usually have a weakness for such things.
Hurry! Hurry!
You put on a white shirt.
You freak out when I tell you things, yet you must really want to look good in front of Ha Sun.
It's not like that...
You look very nice.
I think it would be better to unbutton a button.
What are you doing?
I'm telling you these things are women's weaknesses.
Let's roll up your sleeve.
Do I have to--
Of course you do.
You look great!
You usually don't dress business casual, but the look is great on you.
You look like a model.
No I don't...
You look good when you smile like that!
It's really cute.
Sorry to make you wait, I had an important call to take.
Please take your parking ticket.
Thank you.
Where is there a parking spot?
There's one straight ahead.
It's too tight over there.
What about over there?
You're gonna have to back into it.
Ji Suk, you're holding onto the back of my head right now.
Oh no!
I think all the spots are filled now.
We can go down a level. Is that okay?
You're going down backwards?
You're really good at driving backwards!
You did a great job earlier.
You were so great even my heart was pounding!
Nah...
Even if Ha Sun didn't say anything, she probably saw you differently.
Oh, get some beer.
Beer, why?
I just thought of a second idea.
Please stop doing that, it's embarrassing.
How many cans should I get?
- You're here. - Yeah, I'm glad you ended a little late.
I thought I was going to be late.
You must have been busy today.
Yup, but I still have work left to do, so I have to go back to work.
So do you want to go for a long drive with me?
I'll tell you lots of great stories!
You mean the life-shattering stories?
Sure!
What should I tell you first?
Want to hear about friends?
Friends?
Yes!
How many friends do you have?
The stories he told me that night were frankly not life-shattering.
Instead, they were actually lame.
But his stories blended in with Seoul's landmarks, and I often think of the stories when I walk by.
Friends are called friends because they act close to you and lie to you.
Remember. Friends. Don't trust them.
Men. The good-looking ones give you a hard time, and the ugly ones even harder.
Men. Don't trust them.
Love. When poverty comes knocking at your door, it runs out through the window.
Love. Don't trust it.
How can you pay back a debt with one word?
When you think it's too late to say or do something, it really is too late.
Don't believe in sayings that tell you otherwise.
Then what is there to believe in life?
Nothing.
Then I shouldn't believe that there's nothing to believe, right?
You catch on so quickly!
You're going to have to wait a bit for Ha Sun.
What are we doing...
Don't worry. Once Ha Sun comes down, I'll close off both exits.
The two of you can enjoy some alone time for about an hour.
What are we doing?
How effective can something like this be?
Ji Suk, you really don't know much about women.
Women are bound to be swayed by their atmosphere.
There's something about the mood down here.
Anyways, you're putting in a lot of effort because of me.
Thank you.
One-sided love is the hardest...
It's really hard, isn't it?
No, it's not.
I do feel better since I can talk to someone about it now.
You're so attractive, so why is Ha Sun with that--
You're a thousand times better than Go Young Wook!
I'm not much better...
No, it's because I didn't know you that well before.
But I realized that you're a really nice guy.
Looks, career, personality.
You're not really missing anything.
Plus, you're kinda cute.
No I'm not...
You have a cute smile too. You'd make a perfect boyfriend!
Ha Sun must be blind.
Jin Hee where are you?
I think Ha Sun's here. You heard her voice, right?
Yes, I think so.
I'll go up and check.
I'm just asking out of curiosity.
I'm not your type, right?
- Excuse me? - You don't have any interest in me, right?
What? No...I don't have any interest.
Right? That's what I thought.
Are you okay?
I'm fine!
Then good luck with Ha Sun!
