What's this?
This isn't 100 percent.
No...
An 80 percent chance of us getting together is good enough.
If I try a little, I can make it 100 percent.
Bom, are you hungry?
Should I go get something to eat?
I'm sorry for not calling you earlier.
My girlfriend said she really wants to see this movie.
I brought her with me, so I can introduce her to you as well.
My girlfriend... my girlfriend...
- You want goldfish buns? - Yeah.
- I thought you wanted sweet potatoes. - Yeah.
What's wrong with you?
All you say is 'yeah', when I talk to you.
You mean you want to eat both?
Stop butting in.
- Welcome... - Hi Bom.
Hello.
Ki Joon.
Eun Young had some clothes to drop off.
Bom, can I get these dry cleaned, please?
Okay.
Hello, my name is Yong Soo Chul.
Yes, my name is Park Ki Joon.
But who...
I illustrate games.
And I'm sharing this space for my office.
It seems you are very close to Bom.
It's nice to meet you.
She must be your girlfriend.
You are so pretty.
Thank you.
Stop butting in.
- I'm sorry. - No.
Oh yeah. Nothing happened that day?
Right...
You left without watching the movie because you thought you left the stove on.
Yeah, it was fine. Nothing was wrong when I got home.
What are you talking about?
The day you went to the movies? Weren't you at the laundromat?
I told you to stop butting in.
We are always like this.
Episode 9 How to Become an Adult Laundromat
Subtitles by DramaFever
Mr. Kim Eun Chul didn't register for second round classes.
What's this? Did he really quit the academy?
He's not going to get ready for the second round of the exam?
Then where is Eun Chul at this hour, and what is he doing?
Mommy.
Baby, where are you?
- You know you're getting set up tomorrow, right? - Of course, I know.
That's why I'm in the middle of getting a facial.
Really?
Eun Chul didn't pass the exam then?
He had a stomachache in the middle of the exam, so he couldn't even take the test.
Mommy, I need to put on a mask, bye.
He didn't take the test?
I really thought that my intestines would burst.
It's a good thing that I've got abs.
If it were any other guy, their insides would have burst.
So why did you butt in like that?
That's because you were lying.
You...
But why did you lie?
It was that day, right?
The day you ran into me at the movie theater.
Right?
You drank beer at the laundromat.
You pushed me away when I said I would drink with you.
But what is this talk about the stove?
- Hey, Yong Soo Chul! - Yes?
Why do you want to know everything? Who do you think you are?
- Me? - Yeah.
It's none of your business whether I lie or not.
It's got nothing to do with you. Stop butting in.
How is it none of my business? It has to do with the woman I like.
I will never butt out.
No, I can't!
Spring.
What's happening to you?
Lies and excuses...
And now I have to wash Ki Joon's girlfriend's clothes...
- What's that? - Ta-da!
Couple ring?
It's so pretty.
Where did it go?
Where is it?
Oh, no...
What's this?
Now I need to find the couple ring that she lost?
So annoying...
Grandma, how can you do this to me?
Grandma, how could you?
You scared me.
- My heart almost dropped. - How could you do this to me?
You are the only one who knows how I feel, how could you?
Still...
Don't you feel bad that she lost her ring?
What about me? You don't feel bad for me?
At least she gets Ki Joon's love.
I didn't even get a chance to tell him anything.
It just came to an end as a one-sided love. Who's worse off?
I know well that you are in pain.
How could you make me do this?
Find their couple ring for them?
Bom...
Relationships don't come by just because you want them to...
I don't know who you will meet...
But you shouldn't wish pain to another's love just because you are hurting.
That doesn't help anyone.
Still...
Still, I don't want to do it.
I don't know how much they are in love...
But this time, I definitely can't do it.
No matter what kind of misfortunes come my way, I'll never do it!
Really?
Even if I can't drink, I won't do it.
You just wait.
I won't do it!
Grandma, I still won't do it.
Grandma!
Bom, are you okay?
Yong Soo Chul.
All the alleyways are frozen these days.
You should be more careful.
Even if I had been more careful, I couldn't have avoided that.
Couldn't avoid it? What do you mean?
You don't need to know.
What brings you here so early in the morning?
This.
That's the key to my scooter.
Where's your head at?
You parked the scooter in front of the laundromat and left the keys in the ignition.
I meant to leave my scooter behind after having a glass of beer yesterday.
Thank you.
You could have just given it to me at the laundromat, you didn't have to come here.
I need to stop by the office for an illustrating job.
What if someone drives off with it in the meantime.
So cute.
Thank you.
I'll meet you at the laundromat, then.
See you later.
Why is she pinching a man's cheeks?
She's the one that's cute.
Sip it to the last drop.
Don't be an amateur. Good, just like a judge...
That a boy...
Open up.
Let's put in some eels, and have another tonic.
It's okay, Mother.
What do you mean? We need to get your body ready for the second round of exams.
You are soon to be a judge after all.
Use this for lunch and transportation fees.
Mom, can I have just 20,000 won?
I got an audition call.
I need to go to the salon, and get my hair done.
Yeah?
After giving Eun Chul money, I only have 5,000 won left.
5,000 isn't enough. Then give me your credit card.
You can give this to her.
Nonsense!
Go, you are going to be late.
Go, go...
I'll be back.
What am I supposed to do if you give it all to Eun Chul?
I'll do it for you. All you need to do is use curlers.
Also, just wait until your brother becomes a judge or prosecutor.
Then you'll be able to spend not 20,000, but 200,000 won on your hair.
But are you sure he's going to become a judge?
What if he quits like last time after passing the exam?
No, he promised me this time.
There's no doubt that he'll pass the bar.
He only needs to worry about whether he should be a judge or a prosecutor.
Why are you doubting like an amateur... Just get the rollers ready.
Fine.
Hello?
Why are you calling here, Young Mi?
Why are you asking about Eun Chul?
He's at the academy!
Okay.
I feel so bad for him.
He can't even tell his family that he bombed the test.
Look at him wandering around.
Where's he going when he's got no place to go?
This will prevent Bom from slipping.
What are you doing?
Eun Sol!
Are you going on a shoot?
I have an audition.
You are doing this to prevent slipping?
It'll be bad if somebody slips on the ice.
- Sure... - Try and see if it's slippery.
Not bad, right? Not slippery at all...
I guess it's not slippery.
That's good.
Be careful walking around.
I'm late.
I need to get going.
Okay.
Bye.
What's with him?
He did this because he was worried I'd get hurt?
He must really want to become the president of my fan club again.
I'm touched by his efforts.
I only put in 10,000 won, and got 300,000 won out.
This is the best way to earn some money.
We are done.
How many times has he won already?
What's this?
I don't think a young man like you would know about this.
Try it.
If you do well, you can make some money.
- Money... - Actually, no...
I'm going to wager all this, and win everything at once.
Are you trying to make us go completely broke?
Just go home.
- Go. - Let's play one more time.
Young man, you want to give it a try?
Me?
Yes.
Try it once.
He's really bad. If you are lucky, you can make ten times your money.
- Ten times? - Yeah, it's amazing.
Wager all your money.
Should we start then?
You won't get results unless you take a risk.
Put in money, and get out money.
Here we go.
What are you doing?
Young Mi.
Young man, I'm busy.
Mister, how dare you try to cheat him using this played out trick?
What did I do? Why are you causing a scene?
Causing a scene? A scene?
Do you want me to call the cops? Should I throw this down?
Cops?
What's wrong with you?
Why would you bother those busy guys...
- Let's go. - We'll just wrap this up.
Stop the car right now.
You kidnapped me, and confined me to this car.
Legally speaking, kidnapping and confinement are...
I know that you bombed the exam.
What?
You didn't register for academy classes, either.
Did you tell my family?
- Did you? - No, I didn't.
So you better listen to me.
Otherwise, I'm going to tell your mother what you are up to.
You can't do that.
You are so smart, and you know so much about the law...
How could you get lured by something like that?
I wouldn't have to ask my mom for money if I had some extra cash.
You should have asked me to lend you some money then.
And why are you so down just because you bombed the exam?
You can do well next year.
I don't even have the guts to tell them that I have to keep studying.
I promised her that this would be the last time.
Then get a job.
Do you think it's easy to get a job at my age?
Then...
Do you want to work for me?
The pay is pretty good.
Can you just drop me off?
No.
You have nowhere to go anyway.
When you've got a lot on your mind, and there are no answers...
It's best to go see the ocean, and enjoy some sashimi with soju.
I'm going on the highway then.
Honey...
I'm so upset.
My baby never showed up to meet the guy.
Okay, I understand.
Okay.
Did you find out anything?
It's been verified that she's with Kim Eun Chul.
Kim Eun Chul?
Then that bum lured my baby, so she wouldn't go out on that arranged date?
And?
- Pardon? - Where did they go?
You said you saw them.
You didn't follow them?
You told me to report to you in an hour, so I had to hurry back.
What are you saying?
Don't you know how to use a phone?
I'm so upset.
I'm sorry.
Phone... phone!
What happened to him? He didn't even go to the academy.
Now do you see?
Your bum of a son lured my baby.
What did you say?
Oh yeah...
This morning, Young Mi called asking if Eun Chul left for the academy.
Maybe your daughter pulled my son out of the academy, and lured him!
Why would my baby do that?
Anyone can tell that your bum of a son has been plotting this...
He realizes that our family has a lot of money.
I'm so upset that we are rich.
What the heck is this amateur talking about?
Your daughter's the one plotting because she wants to become the judge's wife.
- Madame, Young Mi has turned her phone on. - Really?
I got the location.
She's by Gyeongpodae.
Gyeongpodae? Hurry...
- Hurry up... - Let's go together.
Wait just a little bit. I need to bring my jacket. Just wait!
I need to pass this audition.
Isn't that Ki Joon?
Who's that girl?
Hot!
Hot...
Grandma, this won't make me change my mind.
I don't want to do it! I don't want to find that couple ring!
Hey...
This is big news...
Why are you so frantic?
Did you know that Ki Joon has a girlfriend?
- What? - You didn't know, right?
I saw them on the way over. He got caught red handed.
So what?
He's not all that, but it doesn't make sense that he wouldn't have a girlfriend.
I don't want to hear it. Get out.
She wasn't anything compared to me. But she was pretty and thin.
Pretty chic.
- They looked good together. - Get out!
Get out, get out!
What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?
'You'? You think I'm your friend? I'm your older sister, stop talking down to me!
I always talk to you like this, why are you overreacting now?
Seriously, you want to get beat up?
What do you think you are doing?
Wait...
What's going on?
Are you underestimating me?
Stop...
Stop.
Bom, stop.
Bom, that's enough.
Hey, is it a sin to say that Ki Joon has a girlfriend?
Are you a gangster? Why are you beating me up?
Yeah, I'm a gangster. So don't bother me!
Bom!
What are you doing?
Huh?
Still, you shouldn't touch me like this.
I just didn't want you to get hit.
The incident with the ice this morning... I understand you are worried about me...
Fine, I'll reconsider giving back your position.
- Huh? - Then...
What's this? What's going on?
Where are we?
I came in the wrong way, but the car stopped.
What?
Don't worry.
I can take care of this.
What's the problem?
I don't know what's what...
Young Mi.
Eun Chul, it's cold. You should go inside.
I'll find out the cause.
The cause is that you ran out of fuel.
What?
- The fuel tank is empty? - Yeah.
No matter how much you look inside standing over here...
Nothing will get resolved.
Who are you?
Eun Chul...
Hey, what's wrong with you?
It's so cold. What are you going to do if his butt muscles get ripped?
This is our field.
You were going to trespass.
Our car just stopped here because we ran out of fuel.
Really?
Then, I'm sorry.
So cool.
You are quick to recognize fault.
Are you okay, Eun Chul?
Yeah, I think I'll be okay.
Little boy, is there a refueling station around here?
Oil?
We got some at our house.
- At your house? - Really?
Yes, don't worry.
No problem.
Will cooking oil make the car run?
Of course, it's still oil.
What are you talking about? Cooking oil's got a high burning point.
The pressure from the fuel engine won't be enough to start a spark.
The engine won't work.
What does that mean?
So you are saying this won't work, right?
No problem.
We've got sesame oil, too.
Wait.
Sesame oil won't work, it's the same as cooking oil.
And why do you keep saying, 'No problem'.
Do you even know what it means?
I don't know what it means, but my teacher told
me to say 'No problem' when things get really rough.
Forget it. What are we going to do now?
I came here because of you, and we ended up in trouble.
I'll just go and buy some fuel.
Wait for me over here.
A man should go.
- Why should a girl do the hard work? - Hey.
I came here because of her.
Yeah, I'll go.
Hey, make sure he doesn't try to run off.
- Okay? - Okay, I've been pretty bored.
I'll keep him company.
Why are you following us?
Who knows what will happen to my son?
And I need to find out who lured who.
Yeah?
We'll make sure to do that.
Mr. Chauffeur, thank you for driving me.
Sir, your skin will get dry if you just stay in the car.
Please use this sample cream whenever you get a chance.
You can use this money to buy a pack of cigarettes.
Stop!
Who are you trying to take money from?
- Are you taking a bribe? - Pardon?
No, I'm just showing my appreciation for letting me ride in the car.
Why are you being an amateur and calling this a bribe?
No way.
He's my driver, and this is my car.
And this is during his work hours.
What does it say in your work manual?
I'm sorry.
Hello.
I get to see you again.
Your clothes aren't finished yet.
I'm not here to pick them up.
Did you see a ring in the pocket by any chance?
A ring?
Yes, it's a couple ring that Ki Joon gave me.
But I can't find it anywhere.
I thought maybe it was in the clothes when I dropped it off.
It wasn't in the clothes.
You never know. It might have dropped somewhere.
Miss, we'll go through the whole laundromat, and search for it.
What?
It's a chance for us to clean out the laundromat, too.
It's not just anything, it's a couple ring. Don't you feel bad?
Thank you.
I want to find it before Ki Joon finds out.
I feel so bad.
Wow, the two of you must love each other a lot. That's so nice.
Right?
Do you have time for a cup of coffee?
What?
But why...
You came to our laundromat and it's not like we don't know each other.
I wanted to treat you to a cup of tea.
I think you are a really good person.
No... not really.
How long has it been since the two of you met?
We met in Chicago while we were studying together...
It's been a little over 9 years.
I've known Ki Joon since before he left for the U.S.
Really?
You've known him for a long time then.
I guess that's why Ki Joon thinks of you like his own sister.
Sister?
How did the two of you meet?
I think it was at an end of the year party.
We were each supposed to bring a Korean dish, and share it.
Ki Joon put in a lot of salt instead of sugar...
Nobody would eat his food.
I ate some because I didn't want him to feel bad.
And I told him how I felt about him...
You did?
Then you liked him first?
Yes, I was interested in him from before.
I may have started things, but Ki Joon is the one who loved me more.
I was in a really bad car accident in the States...
Ki Joon took care of me for 24 hours without even studying.
Over a pretty long period.
Maybe because there was a time when we were totally dependent on each other...
We are like one person.
Whether it's my studies or finding a job, it's all over for me.
Fly!
Can you be quiet?
I'm trying to think here.
It's because the kite won't fly high.
It's because you are just running around with it.
The width and length of the kite have to have a 2 to 3 ratio.
I knew that would happen.
You need to grab the string of the kite at a 20 to 30 degree angle to make it fly.
Instead of just talking, can you help me?
Why should I?
I don't want to.
Fine, I'll get it out myself.
No problem.
Little kid...
Are you okay? Little kid...
Little kid!
911... 911...
I don't have my phone.
Okay...
What are you doing?
Little kid, are you okay?
Of course, I'm okay.
A man should be able to take this kind of fall.
Were you trying to kiss me?
Pervert...
How many fingers?
Two.
I told you it's no problem.
You scared me.
Honey, I'm on my way right now.
No...
How can I eat? I'll eat after I find my baby.
I'll have to hold back my hunger.
Okay, bye.
What are you looking at?
I'm low on sugar. This is my medicine to bring up my sugar level.
You are not supposed to share medicine.
Did I ask you to share it with me?
I'm just worried that you'll drop crumbs in my car.
It costs a lot of money to wash a luxury car like this.
Okay.
I'll eat carefully.
- Give me some peanuts. - Yes, ma'am.
What are you doing?
How can you give me the peanuts still in the bag?
Pardon?
How did I tell you to give me peanuts in the car?
Give me the manual.
Pardon? I'm driving.
Then get off.
He doesn't even know the basics.
How dare he give me the peanuts still in the bag?
Did you drink in the middle of the day?
What's the big deal about the peanuts?
Why did you make the driver get off when you can't even drive?
You can just take back the fare you paid before.
Let's get there quietly.
How arrogant and bossy...
I wouldn't have to deal with her if it wasn't for Eun Chul.
What's this?
The wheel fell into a ditch.
I guess a luxury car is no different.
This has nothing to do with the car. It's because of your driving.
Why did you go towards the ditch?
What the heck!
What am I supposed to do when the road is like that?
Forget it, what are you going to do now?
Even if I step on the gas, the wheels just spin.
We need to call for help.
I'm so upset.
Chauffeur Park, return.
Return. Not, u-turn.
Do you do anything right?
Harder!
Seriously...
Why are you acting like an amateur? Aren't you going to push?
I am.
You are going to make the kids spend the night together?
Don't we need to find them?
Chauffeur Park!
I'm sorry.
I guess you'll have to wash the car because of the mud.
It'll cost a lot of money.
You must be upset.
Look at all this dirt...
Bom, relationships don't come by just because you want them to.
You shouldn't wish pain to another's love just because you are hurting.
I know.
It doesn't help anyone.
Maybe because there was a time when we were totally dependent on each other.
We are like one person.
I can't break them apart, and I can't get in between them, either.
What?
What do you keep saying?
It's nothing.
Okay, let's look for it.
Thanks to her, we get a chance to clean this place out.
So dirty.
Look...
Look at this dust.
It looks like dark clouds.
Dust bag inside a vacuum cleaner?
What?
Yes, hello?
This is Bom.
Do you use a vacuum cleaner in your house?
I think the ring may have gotten sucked in there.
You should try looking.
What do I do? I emptied it out this morning.
Maybe they didn't come to pick up the garbage, yet.
You should hurry and go check.
You are in the middle of a meeting, so you can't?
Where's your house?
You're going out?
Yeah, I'll be back.
Bom!
Park Ki Joon...
Kim Bom?
Why is she doing this with Ki Joon's name?
No way...
Who's that guy you were talking to at the market?
Why do you care?
You are hiding something.
Bom.
You left without watching the movie saying you left the stove on.
Hey, is it a sin that I said Ki Joon has a girlfriend?
Are you a thug? Why are you beating me up?
Yeah, I'm a gangster! So don't bother me!
Yong Soo Chul!
What are you doing here?
Forget it.
You don't have to do this.
Does she think you're her maid or something?
You cleaned the laundromat too, looking for the ring.
That's because I didn't know!
Just don't do it.
Forget it. This is my business.
I told you not to do it.
Stay here.
I'll do it.
Is she a fool?
Why is she looking for their couple ring?
I think that's Lady Young Mi.
Where where?
Over there.
Baby!
Stop the car.
- Eun Chul must be waiting for me. - Stop!
Baby.
- Mommy? - Hey!
Where's my son?
Where's my Eun Chul?
Hey!
What are you doing? Come here!
Here.
Thank you.
I couldn't get out in the middle of the meeting.
I thought I wouldn't be able to find it.
I don't know how to thank you.
It's nothing.
We'll get going.
What are you doing here? Everybody came here?
You see...
I needed to ask her something about her laundry.
It's cold. Let's go in.
You should have a cup of tea...
But what's this smell?
I fell into a trash dump on the way over.
The two of you should go in.
You are busy, let's go.
Bye.
It's flying high, right?
Wow...
Follow the direction of the wind...
Make sure the angle between the wind, your chest, and the kite is 45 degrees.
Mister, what do you do that you are so smart?
I just study.
Study?
Your dream was to study?
I don't have a dream.
I feel so bad for all the adults.
They don't even have dreams...
I have over a hundred dreams.
Owner of a stationery store, bus driver, daddy, taekwondo player...
- An astronaut... - Son!
- Where are you? - Here!
I need to go now.
Okay.
Here.
It's my gift to you.
Gift?
It's the strongest kite that I own.
Look, it's got a robot on it.
But why are you giving this to me?
You can wait for that pretty girl while flying this.
I need to go in because my mom's sick.
Your mom is sick?
Yes, daddy is working, so I need to stay by her side.
Even though I can't go far away to hang out with my friends...
Still, I can play around here flying kites.
- No problem. - Son.
Yes mom, I'm coming.
Goodbye.
The liquor tastes so bitter today.
I know.
Why were you so insistent on finding that ring for her?
Huh?
You could have just ignored it.
Just because...
I had to do it.
But what about you?
Why did you go through the trash for me?
Just because...
I had to do that, too.
Do you see things too?
What?
Never mind.
Do you know something?
- Is that why you... - I don't know anything.
You know I like to butt in.
I see.
Today, I'm grateful that you butted in.
If you are grateful, then stop telling me to butt out.
What?
I didn't pass the audition?
Okay, I understand.
Damn.
Such bad luck in the new year.
Getting beat up by Bom...
My head still hurts.
Maybe I'll have really bad luck this year.
Your work will slowly show progress.
Does that mean I'll make it big?
How about dating luck?
A man will appear who protects you.
Whenever you are in danger or a difficult situation, he will appear before you.
It's likely that he will become your partner.
It'll be bad if anybody slips on the ice.
- Yeah. - You should be careful walking around.
Stop.
Bom, stop.
Then...
Yong Soo Chul?
Yong Soo Chul is my fate?
Baby...
If dad finds out about this, he'll be very upset.
I'm sorry.
You don't know about men, and you are too innocent.
- I understand that bum tried to lure you... - Mommy.
- I'm the one who lured him. - Huh?
I'm not that innocent.
Everybody else in the world knows that.
I curse a lot, and I've dated a lot of men.
That's because you go around collecting for the family business...
No, I'm not the innocent daughter that you think I am.
I'm the one that likes Eun Chul.
He doesn't even have any interest in me.
No way.
This is a dream.
This is a nightmare.
I'm sorry, Mommy.
Here, it's a gift.
It's the strongest kite that I own.
Look, there's a robot on it.
Macander V has the magical power of attacking his enemies with his sword and shield.
Dad and I moved to the countryside because Mom is very sick.
I hope my mom doesn't get any more sick.
I want to go hang out with my friends at the creek.
A man came from Seoul, and flew a kite with me.
I think he is a very smart man.
But he's a little foolish.
I hope I won't become an adult like that.
I felt bad for him, so I gave him my Macander V kite.
I didn't really want to, but it's okay.
I still have a lot of kites.
No problem.
My mom went to heaven.
Son.
Eun Chul, did you eat?
