[Episode 10]
Are you crazy?
Your luggage is already on the plane!
Why are you being like this all of a sudden?
It's not sudden.
The truth is, I've been looking for a reason.
I just needed one reason to stay for now.
From the office, the theater, and the lecture hall...
I wanted just one reason why I shouldn't go just yet.
But...
that didn't happen.
I'm someone who could leave anytime I choose to.
Then leave.
You just need to walk out of here with me right now.
The moment that plane takes off, everything that happened here won't matter.
You just need to return to your old life.
No.
The reason why I can't leave is within me.
That I'm still okay...
I can just stop here right now... I can just leave this place...
I fooled myself with those thoughts. But...
You know this yourself.
Once I start a game... I have to see it through to the end.
I can't end it here like this.
Okay.
Go as far as your heart will lead you.
Don't give up like I did.
Here's your bouquet.
The person you are trying to reach cannot be connected, please leave a message.
If reconciling is too difficult, then I'll have to think of something else.
She said she was going to send Dok Mi off at the party today.
What's your name?
Oh Jin...
Huh?
Oh... Jae Won.
Oh Jin Rak is being prosecuted for committing fraud.
Who's Oh Jin Rak?
A mutual friend of ours.
He's just a mutual friend of ours. It's nothing really.
It's something he's been dealing with for a while.
A manhwa writer who's been embroiled in those plagiarism claims over your work
has been insulting you and depicting you as a total human trash in his webtoon.
The netizens said that he may have a prior record of some kind of a fraud.
You don't' sleep well at night?
How did you know that?
I can't sleep well either.
No, I don't sleep.
I made a decision not to get more than four hours of sleep a night until I turn 35.
Huh? Why?
I don't come from a good family, I have no money and no one to support from either.
So I at least want to have some time to myself to do what I want.
I'd appreciate it if you turned your phone off while we talk business!
Don't you know basic etiquettes?
Are your young ears deaf already?
The volume is too loud!
We'll... we'll correct the problems, and resubmit it to you immediately.
Feel free to call me anytime you need.
Hello?
Jae Won, I mean...
Oh Jin Rak.
This is Enrique Geum.
I...
Whether your Zombie Soccer plagiarized my work or not...
or what kind of a crime you may have committed...
I don't care about things like that.
But, Jin Rak...
Why did you cover up who you are and deceive me?
I don't like dishonest people.
I can't allow that dishonest person...
to stay by Dok Mi's side and protect her.
So get away from her.
I'm not going back to Spain until you do.
I want to talk about it now.
Will you hear me out about why I did what I did back then?
Jin Rak... let's just take the bus.
That little party...
It's not like you're going to lose out on anything by being late to it.
Come on, let's just take the bus. It's rush hour right now.
Do you even know how much the cab fare is going to be?
Enrique found out about me.
Zombie soccer.
He didn't go back to Spain.
He's come back.
He said he's on his way to Dok Mi right now.
But...
I'm going to get there first.
I was first from the beginning!
[If you want to know the enemy, don't look with your eyes, but with hers!]
Come in, Dok Mi. It's cold out there, isn't it?
You brought flowers?
Dok Mi...
You remember Teacher Go Jae Yeol, don't you?
He was both of our first love.
The literature teacher.
I've been wanting to see you again, Go Dok Mi.
- Why do I feel so uneasy? - Why do I feel so uneasy?
Go Jae Yeol teaches an essay class in Daechidong.
He said he's published a book of essays and a book of poems too.
What kind of work do you do, Dok Mi?
Are you not writing?
You used to be so good at writing.
Dok Mi was a good writer?
Back then...
you even wrote a drama script with me, didn't you?
You're all...
acting like everything is fine.
You're all...
asking me questions like nothing happened.
You're all...
so cruel.
Lady...
Lady!
You left.
Why are you here?
Dok Mi!
Just what have you done to her!
What happened?
I didn't do anything!
Test results doesn't show anything out of ordinary.
I think she'll be safe to go home after resting for an hour or two.
Thank you.
I'll stay here.
Watanabe, thanks for your help.
- Go on home. - Okay.
But... Enrique came as soon as you left.
What if he comes here too?
I asked what happened?
I can find out anything once I make up my up mind to do it.
I'm a really persistent person, so...
Just what is it that happened...
for one person to shut the world so completely out of her life like that?
I want you to tell me.
Why... why do people keep blaming me for everything?
I didn't do anything!
Are you okay? Are you starting to come to?
I'm fine.
I know this well.
After a few minutes... it passes.
Normally, when people talk about others...
or even when they're talking about themselves too...
they tend to over exaggerate, sugarcoat things and even lie.
When Cha Do Hwi told me about your high school years a while back...
A thought came to me.
That there's more to the story.
Just what exactly happened... that you're struggling with so much...
Can you...
tell me about it?
I must've become really dull to all this.
It's not that tough on me anymore.
Instead of avoiding... I wish you'd tell me about it.
I would like to hear about it.
I think...
I've been watching over you for enough years to hear what happened.
When I was in high school...
I became famous overnight.
Without even fully knowing just what kind of rumors about me were going around...
I endured through it.
They whispered about me...
talked behind my back...
and kicked me around.
I didn't know... how to escape it.
Why do people...
hate other people?
Why do they discriminate?
Why do they want to stomp all over the weak people and beat them?
I'm sure there are many other people who aren't like that...
But where are those people?
I used to think how nice it would be if I just had one person by my side.
Ever since then...
I think I find it more comforting to be alone.
Thank you...
for telling me.
I also...
I used to be a horrible student and was an idiot when I was back in high school.
I had my own set of worries too.
Over a girl.
This is really embarrassing.
In commemoration of you telling me about your painful memory...
I'm...
confessing... how truly pathetic... I can be.
You left.
Is confessing about how pathetic you can be the end of it?
Do you have anything else to confess?
What I did was wrong, Lady.
If it's that difficult...
I should've told you not to reconcile.
I said those words too easily when I didn't know anything.
But...
The one person who should be on your side...
isn't Oh Jin Rak.
Hey... hey!
Stop!
Hey, hey, hey...
Why do you like Jin Rak?
Well... do I need a reason for liking him?
I don't think that's it...
You're too obsessive to have just fallen for him at first sight.
And... aren't you even worried?
You saw all those weird guys that came around looking for Jin Rak.
If we go by what they're saying, Jin Rak could even be a criminal.
He's not.
I'm sure of it.
Did you do a background check on him or something?
No matter what the case... I'm on your side.
I like you because you're not nice.
This world is too tough to survive in if you're too nice.
I don't really know Go Dok Mi in 402 too well...
But she's not tough enough to live in this cruel world.
- Can my medical insurance... - It doesn't apply to emergency room visits.
Why? Because it's too expensive?
I'll pay you back soon.
Paying me back isn't the problem.
Not having to come back here is your priority.
I should've been there.
Why did you come back?
I already told you.
That I was going to leave Dok Mi in your care.
Then why?
Even though I'm not sure if you're a good person or not...
You're still someone who lied to me. Someone who deceived me.
A dishonest person.
So... when did you find out?
At the airport.
When someone told me about the 'Flower Boy Next Door' webtoon.
That person told me about Oh Jin Rak who drew up Zombie Soccer.
No!
I'm asking when you realized how you felt?
That you've come to like Dok Mi enough that you're unable to return to Spain...
When did you realize that?
You're really...
I don't know.
I wonder when I knew?
When I left to go back to Spain so suddenly?
When I thought how I wished I could see her one more time before I left?
Ah... was it before that?
When we went on our cozy trip to the ocean together?
You've never failed at anything, have you?
You've never even been denied anything, have you?
Because you're so cool and special...
You think this world is easy?
The words you said to me...
I remember them very clearly.
Having to take on the role of an elder just because you're older than someone...
is something you hate doing.
But...
that's what this is right now.
Since I'm younger...
I wouldn't even know what failure or denial would be like.
That I think I'm cool and special... that's what you're saying right now.
I've had failures, and I've been denied too.
But...
Thinking that I'm special... is that a bad thing?
More so than lying?
More than not being able to be honest?
Just stop swaying her!
I want you to stop swaying her!
Someone who's just barely starting to change...
If you're ultimately going to end up leaving after shaking her all up...
then just leave her be!
Even if it doesn't end up being me...
you can't ever be the one.
It can never be you.
And I...
can never let you be the one.
I've been... wanting to see you again, Go Dok Mi.
I did all I could to not hurt someone who was obsessed with me.
At the very least, stop the rumors so that I can transfer to another school.
Even if it's not in this neighborhood, you can find something, right?
Of course! I can even find an apartment in China from this seat if needed.
It doesn't matter if it's far away...
So do you think you'll be able to find a place that won't require a security deposit?
Even if I looked throughout the universe, there wouldn't be a place like that.
Then...
Even if it's a bit far, even if transportation is inconvenient
and even if the place is small...
Please... look into a place with the lowest security deposit requirement.
What the heck?
- Why are you trying to avoid people... - Why did you come?
Why did you come back?
That's... after thinking about it...
You know I have a book coming out.
I had completely forgotten about that.
You want me to go back?
I came back because I was worried about you.
The dice game...
I played it.
I was going to open the door and go out into the world as it says, but...
All I did was show everyone a side of me I didn't want anyone to see.
I hate it.
There's no need for you to worry anymore.
Because I'm never going to throw the dice again.
You're going to go back to living your life in hiding again?
I don't think of it as living in hiding.
He said he was 28 years old back then... that's what your lit teacher said.
If the situation had gotten any bigger...
he was afraid that he'd have to give up his career of being a teacher.
So more than his concern to protect a student named Go Dok Mi...
he said he only thought to protect himself.
Because he hated himself so much for what he had done...
several years later...
he gave up that career.
He said he came today because he wanted to apologize to you.
That he was sorry for what he did.
He wanted me to relay to you that he's so very sorry.
I'm sorry.
It was hard on me too.
Do you think I'd find those words comforting?
I didn't want to hear that he quit being a teacher because of me.
It was better when I was struggling on my own.
It wasn't because of anyone.
Listen carefully.
After a soccer game is over...
the star athletes do a post interview.
If they won the game, then they say everyone played well.
They say how proud they are of their team.
But if they lose the game...
They say it's their own fault the game was lost...
and that they'll do better next time. That's what they always say.
Whether that's the truth or not...
That's how people get over their painful memories.
Okay.
I heard you loud and clear.
I think I can get over it now.
I'm fine now...
so don't worry about me.
I want to walk by myself.
I'm going to get going.
Liar.
That woman's door didn't open for a very long time.
In front of her dusty doorstep...
she found invitations to two very different worlds.
A person who came near by her like a breath of fresh air...
and a person who blocks the gusts from her like a shelter in a storm.
For the first time...
that woman grows afraid of her own desire to open her door.
Be careful, be careful.
Excuse us... excuse us. Be careful.
The ocean... let's go see the ocean.
What do you want to go see the ocean for in this weather?
The cold air is going to dry up your skin and make it all cracked and wrinkly.
- Why? Let's go. - Get in... just get in the car.
Here, here... just get in the car.
To take me to Gangneung... how much would it take?
How much would it take?
How much?
How much can you give me?
- 200,000 won. Deal? - Deal!
Okay, deal!
Miss... you can't come here.
It's not a place where just anyone can come in.
Don't put your hand on me.
Don't put your hand on me!
- Miss... not just anyone can go in there! - I won't... I won't go in.
I told you, you can't!
Don't put your hand on me... Don't put your hand on me!
Manager!
Manager, I'm sorry.
I know I should've called Oh Jin Rak.
But he doesn't know about me doing this, and I don't know what he'd do if he found out.
And I don't know anyone else who's insured that's normal with a steady employment
so that's why I called you. So the bottom line is...
I think I must've gone crazy.
How can the cost of car repair be 5.8 million won...
You useless fool...
In this damned, bull crap of a world!
Why... why do I have to cosign a guarantee like this because of you?
If you don't want to, then just forget it!
This bull crap of a world... You think I'm happy about this?
Even if I charge them 50,000 won per person, because I have to work every single night...
I hate... I hate all this crap too!
Time out, time out...
Give me some time.
If I make a mistake about signing this, I could lose a kidney...
and I could even die alone on a deserted island while drying shrimp in the sun.
Give me time. Time...
- Time for first subway car? - Time for first subway car?
It's closing time for the club.
Are you going to sign it?
On your way back from working out, Madame?
Customer...
This is such a waste. You only had two months left.
Play it rough! Hit him hard!
Play it rough! This is a physical battle!
[Enrique is getting a Korean citizenship because of his son.]
[Enrique is banned from Sola Studios.]
[This is your publisher. Why aren't you answering your phone?]
Harder!
No, no, no... block it. Block it!
Why isn't that goalkeeper using his hands? Why is he using his foot?
Why is he doing this?
Seriously... are you on a suicide mission? Are you a spy?
Wow... you really can't trust anyone in this world!
What a dishonest piece of human being!
Oh Jin Rak's plan is... "I've been watching you for a long time"...
This is what he's saying his plan is?
Then I'll just do the opposite then.
Lady... you did everything for the first time with me.
Well... we went to the ocean together for your first time...
and I was the first one who ever set foot in your house...
Why does it all sound so childish?
Who's at the door?
Who is it?
This is the money for the hospital bill.
Once I take this out of your hand, you're going to turn around and leave, right?
Can I... come in?
Five million...
Five million... five million...
What's he mumbling about now?
5.8 million won!
Hello.
Well...
- I'm not sure if I should... tell you... - We need to tell him.
Lady in 402 is going to move out!
Huh? 402 is moving out?
She said since she's moving, she doesn't feel right about accepting this
and returned her portion of the compensation back to me.
But... why are you telling us about 402 moving out?
Everyone in this neighborhood knows that this young man likes the lady in 402.
His heart must be aching. What to do...
All you need to do is...
just stay there as you are now.
That's why as soon as I arrived at the airport in Korea
I took a taxi straight over to a Chinese restaurant.
I asked the server for a Jjajangmyun and Jjamppong combo
and ate it as soon as it was brought to my table.
But it didn't taste like I thought it would.
Even though it was the same restaurant made both dishes
and when eaten separately, they were each so delicious...
why doesn't it taste the same when they're combined together?
That's when I started thinking about it. Why? Because I'm very tenacious.
What could the reason be?
Part of the fun is trying to decide which dish to get between the two...
Was it because that fun was gone?
The longing for the other dish should've been there to build the anticipation
but was it not delicious because that sense of longing was gone?
That's why from now on...
I'm going to worry about which dish to get between the two until my head explodes.
That's why...
I don't regret having returned and staying in this empty house by myself.
Because it's what I chose after thinking about it until my head was about to burst.
Thank you.
Right? You're thankful that I came back, right?
For all that you've done for me...
for all of it.
Just like the ocean we saw...
when I'm reminded of you at times...
I think I'll be able to smile and draw strength from it.
I haven't even done anything for you...
but there's so much I've received from you.
For having nothing else to say but thank you all the time...
I'm truly sorry for that.
All I hear is you saying you're sorry, instead of the thank you part.
I don't like the words, "I'm sorry".
"I'm sorry I haven't done anything for you."
That's pretty cowardly.
Then you can start doing nice things for me as much as you're grateful, okay?
What are you going to do? What do you think would be good?
I have a request to make.
Starting the day after tomorrow
I have book signings and ceremonies...
and I'd like you to come with me.
You can get all dressed up in a dress and walk down the red carpet.
Is that too much to be asking for?
Just forget about that part... all you need to do is just come with me.
He's a good person...
There's no need for you to say that... to tell me that I'm a good person...
Mr. Oh Jin Rak.
Enough for me to be able to tell him about myself...
he's good person and I feel comfortable with him.
So you've finally... made your decision between jjajangmyun and jjamppong.
You did think about this until your head was about to burst before you made your decision?
You have to turn the knob the other way.
When I looked at you...
strangely enough, I used to think that I could hear your voice.
But now...
I can't hear anything.
I don't know.
I really don't know.
One and a half stars...
With a total of 11 votes.
If we take our two votes out, then only nine voters.
The dreaded end is near.
Jin Rak... Watanabe wants us to come down to the shop for dinner, aren't you coming?
Which one of these looks better with this bag?
I wonder if this one will look better...
Jin Rak, come here. Try this on for me.
Come on, put it on.
What are you doing now?
I'm trying to see if it looks good or not.
Who could this be now?
[How much of the 5.8 million have you paid back so far?]
Seriously...
What do I do about this?
Should I go... or do you want to go?
- You probably shouldn't right? - Have I committed a crime or something?
There was no need to spit all over me.
Do... Dok Mi!
Are you okay? You're not hurt?
- Yes, I'm okay. - I'm sorry.
Um...
Yes... go ahead and tell me.
Would you...
like to go see the Van Gogh exhibit with me?
I think it's going to end soon.
And I want to take you to see the Van Gogh exhibit...
Do you like Van Gogh?
I... I like him.
I love you.
No, I didn't mean you! I love Van Dok Mi...
No, I mean... Van Gogh... I love Van Gogh.
After saying that she's sorry for not having done anything for me...
I like Van Gogh much better than he does.
[Enrique's book signing event.]
Hi!
It's a present!
- Your name? - It's Eun Kyung.
Eun Kyung...
Bye!
You there... taking pictures.
I'm a huge fan of yours.
- Your name? - Shin Young Min.
It's Gwanghanmoon!
The end.
I've...
fallen in love.
[Next Episode Preview]
Enrique...
is in a critical condition.
If you had just gone back, this wouldn't have happened.
I'm sorry because I think it's my fault.
I'd... like for you to stop now.
Me having taken Dok Mi back to you... I believe was my last duty.
I'll stop here.
- I'll disappear. - I liked you.
I can hear you again.
I can hear what your heart is saying again.
