[Episode 6]
What happened to you?
Me?
You!
What's this? You want me to leave?
You should've called if you weren't going to come home!
Do you know how worried Tae Joon was about you?
If you're going to keep doing whatever you want and live however you want
get out of here immediately.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Oh my... I must've been crazy.
Oh my goodness...
I kept forgetting... with all the lectures I've been doing.
Oh my goodness...
Tae Joon, I'm sorry.
Forget it.
Are you two having fun making a joke out of me?
[Seo Young... Tae Joon and I need to get this out.]
[We need some time.]
[Don't worry.]
I'm going to make sure to drag you out of there before I leave.
I'll be the trainer to your elephant.
You just wait!
[The key term for meetings are 'Fated' and 'Ill-fated'.]
Go Dok Mi!
I've been trying to reach you.
What the heck?
It sure is hard to get a hold of you.
Since I don't think you're here to see me... I'm going in.
No! I've been trying to reach you, and I kept stopping by too...
Director Cha, come on in.
402...
Jin Rak!
Jin Rak...
You two were together all night...
Oh my God!
Were the two of you together all night?
Don't lie to me.
Dok Mi...
Don't you think that you're going too far?
There are people watching us.
Are you going to put me in this situation?
Will you get lost?
Those are the last words you said to me.
Stop it!
Seriously, Cha Do Hwi...
You...
Hey, Cha Do Hwi...
You... didn't I tell you to stay quiet as a mouse?
That's right.
If you don't have friends, just hang out by yourself.
It's because you hang with her all day, that things are made difficult for you.
What did I tell you?
They've been best friends since elementary school.
What a heartwarming friendship the two of you have.
Do Hwi...
Don't you think you need to reflect a little?
Keep quiet as a mouse at the upcoming festival.
Do Hwi...
- Teacher... - Oh, there you are.
I called you to see if you'd like to tweak the paper you turned in
and enter it into the national writing contest?
What do you think?
Yes.
Why don't you give these a read?
They're books that I really like, and I thought you'd like them too.
Thank you.
I'm sure you'll do great.
I know you'll do well, Dok Mi.
Fighting.
- I want to try it on. - Me too.
How much did you say this was?
- Amazing. - Let me try it.
- Let me try it on too. - Why are you hogging it?
Want to try this on?
Teacher...
Please tell us... just exactly what happened.
Go Dok Mi...
Go wait outside.
What's the reason for a student to go in and out of a teacher's house?
Did she really go to your house just to write stories?
How many times was she over?
Did she come over often?
- Seriously... - We asked if she came over often.
Was writing really all you guys did?
Teacher, tell us!
How could you think of going home with a female student?
I just...
All I did was try not to hurt a student that kept obsessing over me.
At the very least, I...
I hope you stop spreading rumors so that I'm able to transfer to another school.
Whatever it is that you did...
the Lit Teacher told us everything.
Go Dok Mi.
Hey... did you do it first?
Are you crazy?
What did you do over at his house?
- We asked, what did you do. - Tell us honestly.
- Tell us! - Tell us the truth!
- Tell us! - Come on, tell us!
Let's stop.
Please...
Let's not be the bearer of ymore ill fate to one another.
Please.
We don't have any tea, so I just brought you some hot water.
Miss Cha Doo Hwi...
Do.
Okay.
You and Miss Go Dok Mi... had something happen in the past, didn't you?
Did you two have a fight?
No! It's not like we're little teenage girls, what could we have fought about?
We... were very close.
Oh yeah... here...
Here's proof.
I guess it's not really proof.
I carry all the pictures we took when we were little with me ike this.
So there were days when she used to smile like this.
I wonder where all these smiles went?
It's not just the motion of the ocean with these chairs.
But water, the breeze, and even the scent...
What the heck?
What? What is all this?
Please calm down.
It's an experience that allows viewers to experience the movie in a more realistic way.
Those sensations were no joke.
You'd be directly in charge of all the creative aspects of it.
We've been searching for a star director that we could collaborate with.
Why don't we work together?
Mister, what time is it right now?
Can I watch just one more movie?
Can you get me some popcorn too?
The sweet kind.
[This is a list of editors who have experience in lectures and autobiographies.]
I told you, I don't want to write a book. Why do you keep bothering me?
[Go Dok Mi.]
[Senior Yoo Ha Na.]
Yes, Senior.
Miss Go Dok Mi, I just sent you a package.
Stop everything you're working on right now, and finish this book first, please.
Please send us each chapters as soon as you complete them.
I'm hanging up now.
But my schedule is...
Hello?
Dok Mi has always been lonely.
Yes, she's very lonely.
You saw her earlier, didn't you? Lonely ones are usually a little sensitive.
Her parents divorced when she was in middle school.
And they both remarried.
Oh my... I bet it was really difficult for her.
Dok Mi lived with her grandmother.
I don't know if it's because both her parents got remarried and had other kids...
but she never really saw her parents much.
But she grew up to be such an accomplished person, didn't she?
The truth is... both in middle school and high school...
I took care of her with everything.
Why was she being so cold to a friend that took such good care of her like you?
No kidding.
I don't know.
Oh... you don't know.
Ouch! That's flipping hot!
Oops.
I wonder... if there's a way we could find this smile for Dok Mi again?
Thank you.
I was 10 years old when I created my first game.
You're thinking it's the first time you've heard something like that?
You better learn. I'll be asking questions later.
An age where no other explanations were plausible except that I was a genius.
I didn't copy someone else's game, but made something very creative...
It was a game that would be equivalent to all the legendary games these days.
A 10 year old you first stepped foot in the foreign land of Spain.
In order to communicate with his friends, he created a game.
I'm reminded of the day that I saw Alcazar Castle for the first time.
A castle which I believed to only exist in fairy tales...
was standing in front of my eyes in reality.
From that point on...
I started to think that reality and imagination were not separate entities.
No matter what it is... an no matter who it is...
You can imagine it.
Alcazar Castle is a once in a lifetime experience.
It was an immense eye opener like first love that comes once in our lifetime.
And my next creation...
It's a story of a knight that chases after the demon that stole his princess.
Easy... speedy... and fantastic battles happening in front of you in 3-D graphics.
Even eating or sleeping wasn't as fun as my work was.
Even though I was happy...
I lost my adolescence because of my obsession with work.
Oh my goodness...
Those are some pretty good skills.
Their skills show they've done this more than once or twice.
Drawing books... writing books...
This one is cute.
This isn't the work of just one person.
For some reason, I feel like I've become Sherlock Holmes.
This is really interesting.
But...
I wonder why these people hate me so much?
- No, they don't! - No, it's not like that!
I guess...
I'm amazing enough for some people to be jealous of.
To be a man like me is really...
When Korean youth runs away from home in the middle of winter
where do they usually sleep?
Well... either in PC Rooms, or the saunas?
- Here you go. - Take this up with you.
- Please give me some sweet rice drink. - You can find that on the third floor.
There... that's right. Don't crash it.
Go around it! Go around it!
Regulations are a biased boundary.
I do not like to live in the boundaries of reality.
Games can be a danger, you say?
If you let it, anything in life can be a danger.
Malicious comments and all the gossip are signs of an inferiority complex.
[Explosive. Lighters and cell phones are not allowed.]
Lady! That's dangerous in there! Bring it out here quickly!
Hurry... hurry!
[I'm sending a few pages that's been edited.]
Yes, Senior.
I didn't send you too many pages, did I?
I needed to do some research first.
Things should speed up from this point on.
I've only touched the areas where the writing was too rough...
The writer... said he didn't like it?
I think you need to meet with the writer.
No!
My condition to working for you has been that I didn't have to meet the writers!
We've been begging him to write a book, but he's refused all this time.
But he chose you to be his editor, and told us he'd sign a contract with us.
Do you really not know who Enrique is?
He said he could be at your house within an hour.
I have to step into a meeting.
Please make sure we get the book published on time, okay?
[Keep up with your unrequited love, and end up losing your mind...]
What the heck... what the heck is this!
Keep up with your unrequited love, and end up losing your mind?
I'm seriously about to go crazy.
Jin Rak, did you see our webtoon?
The spoiler totally sucks!
I know, I know. I got it. I'm heading there to take care of it.
Be strong about it! And give her some response!
Hello?
I can't believe he hung up while I'm still talking!
No, no, it's nothing.
Oh... Jung Eun!
What do I do?
What do I do? What do I do?
Excuse me...
By any chance, are you Editor Go Dok Mi?
Hello. I'm the author of the book that you're editing right now.
My name is... Enrique Geum.
As for today... I think it's a little late.
The publisher would like for it to be completed as soon as possible.
Which part of it do you not like?
Be honest. You were surprised with the fate of it all, right?
Just tell me which part it was that you didn't like.
It was more than just a couple parts.
No matter how rough the draft was...
Is it okay to be so ruthless editing someone else's writing like that?
Where should we get to work?
Please wait a moment.
What is this?
Why do you have so much stuff?
Editor Go Dok Mi...
Let's just go back to 'Lady' for a bit.
I... got kicked out by Tae Joon.
For the past few days, I...
I've been staying at a sauna.
I had to stay there with all these men, women, and little children...
Ah... the sweet rice drink was so good though!
Wow, that drink is the best. Anyways...
I've been doing all my work at the sauna, and going around doing my lectures.
It's been really difficult.
Why... why did you get kicked out?
Living together...
Tae Joon keeps getting jealous of me for being too cool.
That's right. I had forgotten...
You're on Tae Joon's side, aren't you?
Even though he believes he's in control and is pretending to stay strong...
But love doesn't work that way.
Why is he trying to control himself?
He's going to start volunteering with the army somewhere soon.
He'll be busy with all the traveling, but Seo Young doesn't think he can make it.
She can just ask him herself then... to see if he wants her to come along.
But those frustrating people can't be selfless enough to be honest.
Its a relief... since you don't look like your world is going to crumble
at the news of him going to the army.
Are you done putting him behind you?
By any chance, am I like Armstrong who pioneered the moon?
I'm the first person to ever step foot in this house, aren't I?
Ugh, it's cold.
Why is it so cold in your house?
Miss Editor... you must like traveling.
And here I thought that all you did was stay home every day.
So you travel through television?
You're just like this other lady I know.
So that's why only the TV is the latest model in this analog room?
Wow... the soccer game is on late tonight. This is great.
Should I peep in on Tae Joon and see what he's doing?
Just like someone else I know?
No! No, you can't! Let's just work.
I barely managed to send in five of the 30 chapters I owe.
What are we going to do if you start disliking them already?
I've already wrote the whole manuscript. Don't you think you're being too slow?
I'm going to be leaving soon.
It's because there were lots of things that I needed to verify.
Things are going to pick up pace now.
Can I ask you what it is about me that you felt the need to verify?
Okay.
Have you tried all the games that I've created?
Yes.
Have you read all the articles about me?
Since some are in foreign languages, I bet you had to have some translated?
Yes.
Do you think having played my games and reading a few articles mean you know me?
Ah... so that's why you wrote the reason why I created my first game
when I was 10 was because I was lonely and I wanted to communicate with them?
Communicating is something that you need to learn to do.
Also, the Alcazar Castle reminds me of my first love?
Isn't that a secret just between you and I? That's totally cheating!
You wanted to pretend we didn't know each other.
Don't you know too much about me considering you're a stranger?
Then why did you ask for me to edit it?
I asked that publishing house to keep that a secret!
I can cancel my contract over this. You know that?
Cancel it then.
I have lots of work and I'm tired from having stayed up the past few nights.
Lady... do you know that you're very strange?
When you can barely say a word in front of other people
why is it just me that you speak so harsh to?
Manager...
I told you not to drop by unannounced like this!
Well, the thing is...
There are a few things that I need to pick over with you today.
Go ahead, pick away.
Wherever you want.
Manager...
I told you not to drop in unannounced like this!
Well, the thing is...
There are a few things that I need to pick over with you today.
Go ahead, pick away.
Wherever you want.
Speak.
So the thing is...
The preview you give of the show is, "Go crazy from the unrequited love".
That's so extremely different than the vision I had for Flower Boy Next Door.
And... is there something else?
And because of the summary lines...
the spoiler is just too much.
The real story is about a woman who shuts herself in her home
but slowly starts to open her door to the world...
But the way you've surrounded her by the four men in the preview, it's a bit...
Okay...
Okay?
Anything else?
And also, you know how our show is scheduled for during the week?
If it's possible, could we scheduled it for a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday slot?
Everything you've mentioned so far I'm in charge of.
I will take care of it myself!
There are over a hundred webtoons that I'm in charge of.
Would you like it if I kept interfering with your sketches?
Draw the eyes, nose and the mouth bigger.
The background looks awful!
The man who can't even confess is a cowardly loser!
Would you like it if I said all that? I will take care of it!
I'm frustrated enough as is because of you!
Ugh, seriously! What do you know about plot development?
Do you know the process of how a plot is developed?
No matter how short the story, there's always an intro, escalation, climax and a solution!
But because you ruined it all with your awful trailer
that plot development with intro, escalation, climax and solution has all been ruined!
Intro. Escalation. Climax. Solution! If they're not included, I'm not doing it!
I can't do it! I won't do it!
Intro, escalation, cli...
Cli... what was it again?
Intro, escalation, climax, solution!
A prize winning man, a manly man, the perfect man...
Sit down... sit down.
What is it?
Is it not going well with the neighbor?
Excuse me?
If you spend the whole winter just gazing upon her, you'll freeze to death.
Go confess to her.
This moment.
Right now!
Get out of here!
Ta da! Barcelona!
Please stop!
Can you stop moving around?
Lady, want to have some ramen? Late night work means ramen!
I have mad skills when it comes to making ramen...
Don't just say that you don't like it, but give it a good read.
I have other work I have to get to as well.
Yes.
Ramen!
He's staying out all night again?
What is he doing?
Why?
Why is he sleeping on the floor like that?
Is this part of the floor warmer or something?
I really enjoy collecting all the drawings to flip through and look at them.
Thank you.
You can really see clearly with these.
This lady...
Someone I've spent all my life not knowing about their existence...
but why do I feel like I already know everything about her?
What is it!
What is it? What happened!
- What? - What? What is it?
- What happened? - What? What did you do!
- Stop what you're doing! - What is it that you're doing, Jin Rak?
What's wrong with you lately? You're really scaring me.
No... no! I was just trying to get this off of you!
I was trying to get this off of you!
Because you've been up these few nights, I thought I'd wake you if I touched you!
So with my lips... no, not lips. What am I talking about?
Well.... you keep misunderstanding me to be a pervert ever since the ocean.
Lady, I mean Miss Editor...
I'm saying this to make certain. Don't think of me as a man.
What?
402 and Enrique started living together?
Hey... be careful how you word things!
I heard that Enrique has a son.
What?
Didn't you see it on the internet? I heard he was on the plane with him.
Wow... that young thing is a total player!
So the thing right now is... we have to somehow drag him out of that house!
Jin Rak...
- They're already... - They are... already... what?
A man and a woman... in an enclosed room... all night...
All night...
I'm sure they were just talking! About world peace.
You're going to have leftover garbage from all that.
Just cook enough for you to eat now.
If you keep opening up the fridge
the electric bill will go up, and the food will spoil.
Only use the leaves from the scallions and the herbs.
If you eat while walking around, you'll get crumbs all over the floor.
Can't you just concentrate on one thing at a time?
That woman believes fate is a string that quietly connects her heart to another.
Following that invisible string...
to feel even the slightest vibration...
is what connects people to feel and understand each other.
When one person's heart suddenly gets mixed with so many other hearts...
it starts to make that woman's heart feel uneasy.
So, fate...
please stop tugging so hard at my heart to pull me in.
Can't you be more dynamic?
Bravo! Bravo, bravo!
You're pretty good for this being your first time.
No, no, no... what do you mean, my first time?
I've been living all my life as model material.
By the way...
Does Jin Rak like Go Dok Mi?
I'm right, aren't I?
I'm really good at picking up on things like that.
You like Jin Rak, don't you?
Oh my! What are you talking about?
You're right.
I fell for him at first sight.
It was totally at first sight.
I swear.
How could you have picked Jin Rak over me?
You have awful taste!
If you want Jin Rak, now is your chance.
No, your friend...
You need to check out your friend's situation first.
Is the protest really over?
I guess there won't be any reason to see them every day now.
I'm so disappointed. All those beautiful boys...
Ma'am...
Don't worry.
The cooking... there are the cooking lessons.
You're right! The cooking lessons!
We'll have the chance to see each other every day.
We?
Hello, residents.
All the legal battles these past few years...
and the past few months of our fierce stance by protesting...
have finally paid off.
And to all those monthly renters, there will be a separate meeting.
I will be providing a special meeting in Apartment 403 due to the cold weather.
I'll see you all later at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
You're so good that.
So what this means...
they've accepted our demands for the improvement in our living conditions.
And finally... finally, we'll be receiving our compensation!
Compensation!
Hey, Dong Hoon. Wake up! Compensation... compensation!
- We're getting our compensation. - Compensation?
- Yeah, compensation. - Compensation!
- I wonder how much we'll get? - She'll come out for the compensation.
- How much is this compensation? - She'll come out to receive her share!
- What? - 402!
- 400,000 won? - 402...
Wow... 400,000 won... with 400,000 won...
Yes, Mister.
I can't accept the compensation.
I've never once even attended the demonstration.
So I can't accept it.
She really is unique... so unique.
Why don't you meet us in apartment 403 and talk about it then?
And aside from that, you've got a delivery.
I didn't order anything.
What are you talking about? It has your name and address on it.
I was going to give it to you myself, but she said she'll take it herself.
She's gone. I wonder if she's already on her way up.
I didn't order anything.
You want me to get the door?
Go Do... Go Do... Go Do... Do Dok Mi.
Let's seriously stop being like this... and be friends. Okay?
Your friend started living with a man.
It's game over for Jin Rak now.
I... really want to talk to you.
Let me come in for a minute and let's talk.
You... don't you think you're taking this way too far?
A friend says she wants to come in for a minute to talk...
but you can't even allow that?
You... you've been avoiding me all this time on purpose, haven't you?
Fine. Let's just say you ignored all my calls and my texts.
How could you ignore a friend that came to visit you at your place?
Do you know how humiliated I was in front of your neighbor?
You really... haven't changed a bit.
What did you say?
I can't hear you. Speak louder.
What is all this?
You just... totally ignored what I said, and you're curious about this thing?
Go Dok Mi, you've really changed.
These...
These are some clothes from the mall that I operate.
It's a gift for my friend whom I haven't seen in a long time.
I don't need it...
so will you take them and leave?
Go Dok Mi!
Aren't you even considerate of my caring to bring you all this stuff?
You think I've just completely disappeared, haven't you?
No, I spent money to hire someone to find you!
- I purposely searched for you! - This lady...
Why does she have so many stories?
- Why did you search for me? - What is all this noise?
- Jin Rak, don't you hear anything? - Because I missed you!
It's... been really hard for me.
Doesn't it sound like you've heard it before?
By any chance... could it be our Director Cha?
There's no use dragging up the past now.
I really wanted to find you.
I really wanted to see you.
I really wanted to become good friends... like we used to be in the past!
Director Cha!
What's going on out here?
Why don't you go inside and talk? I'll leave and give you some time.
Don't go.
Just stay.
I thought you two were friends?
Why are you keeping her out here and making her cry?
Dong Hoon...
It's not something for you to get involved in.
Why don't you two go inside and talk? I'm fine.
We have nothing to talk about.
And I have nothing I want to hear from her either.
I didn't think you'd be so... your friend wants to...
Why don't you just talk to her?
I told you to stop.
Wait!
Everyone, just wait.
It's all... my fault.
Even though we're friends...
dropping by announced like this is still my fault.
I thought... that you lived alone.
You two look very good together.
Huh?
- No... it's not like that. - I'll be going.
Will you... accept this?
While picking out some clothes that I thought would suit you...
I felt like I was back in school for a moment.
Let's make sure to see each other soon.
I have an office across the street.
It won't be difficult for us to get together at all.
If you just... if you just cross that street...
We can... see each other.
For all the noise I've caused...
I'm truly sorry.
No, it's nothing!
This doesn't even come close to the noise caused by our most recent situation.
So the two of you... share the same room?
You two look very happy together.
No! I told you, that's not it!
We can't look good together.
It's not that...
We're working on something together so we're just temporarily...
staying together.
I'll accept those for her.
My purse.
Don't you think there's a reason she doesn't want to accept it?
If you're only staying temporarily, you shouldn't get involved.
Her friend says it's a sign of her affection. Since it's a gift...
Shouldn't she at least open it to see what they are?
And... she can't keep avoiding, hiding, and just standby and observe forever.
You and I need to talk.
[Next Episode Preview]
Those two up there on the rooftop...
there's some bad blood between them that 402 doesn't know about.
So that's why... Dok Mi likes him.
I love you... Go Dok Mi.
You... by any chance...
Did you confess to her?
I'll be in touch soon, so don't contact me first.
You picked the wrong person!
I did it because I know how you felt. Because I know how you truly felt.
Stop it now.
