Episode 04
I was being so careful in the way I lived...
Where'd this persistent jerk come from?
What'd you say?
It's nothing.
Type your grandma's address into the Navigation.
Stop!
Stop...!
What's wrong?
Why are you out here?
Are they making us move out?
I thought not. It makes no sense.
Hyung, don't worry. It won't happen again.
Our webtoon is getting signed. Stay strong. Fighting!
I was first.
I noticed her first.
Who is that jerk!
Why's it so easy for him?!
Okay, okay, okay...
How cute can you be?
See you later.
But why'd you get so angry before?
I was dying of embarrassment.
What's the problem?
Is it Enrique? What's your problem with him?
'Zombie Soccer'? He did that before us.
He couldn't do all those characters in a month.
Don't compare me and Enrique.
Is our neighbour really dating Enrique?
Did something happen between them?
Shut up.
NO SUCH THINGS AS KIND LIES OR WHITE LIES
Pull over.
Going together isn't right.
Your grandma's in danger.
Did I say she's in danger?
I don't think I did...
When old people are sick, it's dangerous.
We must be good to elders. Time waits for no-one.
I only brought my phone, not my wallet or bag.
- I need to go home. - Use mine.
Why do you want to go back?
It's nonstop till we're there.
You really were angry, right?
What's up with you lately?
I know you're kinda cranky, but you never...
screamed at me before.
That's what's wrong with the world.
When things don't go well, people get in a rage...
Oh Jae Won?
Watch your mouth!
Keep your voices down.
Hey, keep watch.
A postcard?
It's like time stopped here.
Go Dok Mi?
Go Dok Mi lives here?
- Go Dok Mi? - Go Dok Mi?
Shoe lady!
From yesterday...
Thank you for yesterday.
But why are you here?
Ah, a friend lives here.
What kind of fate is this?
Which unit is it?
402.
I'm in 401.
Are you and I destined?
- You're so cool! - Oh my goodness!
Then the guy yesterday...
Oh my, I don't know your names.
I'm...Cha Do Hwi.
Wow, chic name.
I'm Yoo Dong Hoon.
Ah, my hyung?
Oh Jin Rak. Isn't his name something?
It's like a flower bed here.
Mister, why are you dressed up?
Well, I'm a butterfly in a flower meadow.
"I just got a phone call..."
"Grandma is better and going to the spa."
"I should've have answered the call."
Hi, oppa. Me? I'm at the library.
I have to study all day.
No, don't come.
Whenever I see your face...
I need nothing else
and I can't focus on study.
Oppa, I have to go.
Sweetie!
I'm with my parents now.
Sweetie, I'll call you later.
What were you doing in the bathroom?
Who was on the phone?
What's wrong?
When I see your face, I need nothing else
and I need only you.
- Promise it's not a lie? - Of course!
It's not a lie...
Ajumma!
Korean snack shops are unique!
There are squids like...
with their arms...
- I have to confess something. - I'll confess first!
Grandma's fine.
I didn't want to go on a trip.
Once I started lying, it got worse.
I'm sorry.
You have a right to be mad at me.
I'm sorry.
We can go back.
But I've something to confess.
Your text about your sick grandma...
I got so flustered at the lie, I ran out with
only my car keys, and no money.
I'm hungry...
and the car's hungry too.
Sorry. It's my fault.
If you say 'sorry' again, I'll get mad.
Shall we take care of our problem?
You're so cute! So cute, so cute!
- Do you girls have boyfriends? - No.
It's too bad you're here without boyfriends!
How about I introduce you to guys in Seoul?
Just 10,000 won.
Why's he doing that?
My uncles and aunts... See? It's me! I told you...
- Right? Right? - Yeah, you're right
- Only 10,000 won? - 10,000 is fine. My angels!
Why're you in my way?
- What's wrong with her? - How annoying! Out of the way.
- Hey! Did you push her first? - Is she an idiot?
- What did you do? - Answer.
- Tell us! Tell the truth! - Answer me!
Aren't you answering?
Ajumma...Go Dok Mi...
Why are you out here? Aren't you cold?
Look, you're frozen. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Let's go.
- Let's go home. - You don't look good.
Let's get hot food?
I want to go home now!
Dong Hoon. Juice, hit.
Oh, hit! You learn fast.
[ You wanted the drawing to be modern. You like? ]
No. Draw it again.
[ No. Draw it again ]
How's this jerk draw so well after partying all night?
Even her handwriting...
fits her.
I'm sorry I insisted on leaving.
Can you stop saying 'sorry'?
I turned on the heat.
Your seat will warm up soon.
Relax and rest.
The Nav will get us back safely.
All set.
I want to go home now!
They're always nervous protecting their goal
in the penalty box.
They have a lonely, tough time.
You're the goal keeper.
Can you...
Oh my!
I pressed the wrong buzzer.
This is 401.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
But haven't we met?
I remember!
You helped me last night...
when I broke my heel.
You don't remember me?
Ah, yes.
What a fate we have.
I was trying to buzz 402.
Well then...
You came to see 402?
Yes.
Ajumma. I'm sorry.
I must've put the wrong address in the nav.
It's just you and I and the nav...
like we're the only ones in the world.
She's saying nothing?
Why's it like her first time seeing the ocean?
V! V sign! Don't be shy!
- It's perfect! Perfect shot! - Behind you...
The waves...
She's not answering.
Why'd you hang up so fast?
I'm saying...
the phone might seem to be ringing there...
but it may not even have rung
or she mightn't have had time to answer...
It rang three times.
It probably rang 100 times in Halla Mountain by now!
Won't that be Baekdu Mountain?
I was hoping to surprise her.
It's not right for her not to answer.
What did you say? Cha... Cha...
Cha Do Hwi.
Country grocery store...
Hello, Grandfather.
Is there a big market in the area?
I dropped my camera in the water.
Your camera and shoes are wet. Your feet may get frostbite.
It's OK. Not too bad.
But I haven't uploaded any of these pictures.
Grandfather, may I borrow dry towels?
A hair dryer would be good.
You know what a hair dryer is?
Hair dryer... can't you hear me?
Can't he hear me...
- Grandmother. - What?
It's a grandmother.
Grand...
Ah.. grand...you're a grandmother.
Grandmother, you're a beauty!
Hat and all.
I have a hair dryer and dry towels.
Unless the camera got soaked, you can dry them.
You should eat first. Meals are optional.
Oh my! He's like a blushing new bride!
You smiled, you smiled!
This style is comfortable.
Kimchee!
So good!
You can't. You have to drive.
That... that glint in your eye... you're pitying me now.
That's not right.
So good!
Ajumma...
Even though Tae Joon seems perfect on the outside...
he's not as perfect as he seems.
For example...
he's rather stingy.
Stingy...
Your unrequited love isn't so perfect.
He's just human.
Stop saying unrequited love.
It was something
I started on my own to end on my own...
A secret no-one would know.
It doesn't compare to your first love.
But I did catch you out.
It wasn't such a secret.
How did you find out?
It rang a bell.
The way I look at Seo Young... the way you look at Tae Joon...
was similar, so I noticed.
Things like that can't be kept hidden.
Are you and Go Dok Mi even close friends?
Of course!
Dok Mi and I went to school together.
But I've lived here for three years...
How can you be close and not see her in three years?
Do you call each other often?
Or text? Not group texting.
I was overseas for a while.
After I returned, I've been busy at my shopping mall.
I'm exhausted.
I couldn't keep up with friends.
But I ran into her yesterday.
It was great to see her!
But...you've lived here for three years?
Yes.
Goodbye.
It didn't break.
My shoes are drying.
I should change clothes.
Then...you have to sober up... so the ocean...
Want to see the ocean again?
You want me to sober up to go home?
You like home that much?
Isn't it suffocating staying indoors all the time?
A human being's existence...
means they wash their face in the morning and walk around...
giving their scent into the world.
Is it scary for you outside?
Or...you don't like to wash your face?
It's not suffocating.
I like it.
I feel at peace in my tiny place.
I like it.
Do you draw manga?
It's not easy to do that.
Drawing isn't easy?
No. I mean...
it's not easy to go through school together.
You do nothing else except draw manga?
Once I start webtoons, there'll be no time.
Webtoon?
Then you have a different job and manga is a hobby?
Since you let me wait here...
may I take you to dinner?
Why don't you call her again?
I'm going.
Cha...
Cha Do Hwi.
I was going to ask you to stay for tea.
Why don't you have tea, and call her again?
I take back what I said yesterday.
Love is over, broken...
Expressing it like that wasn't really right.
Because love is over, and it's broken...
we can say, 'Next guest, please.'
Everything works itself out.
Leave everything alone, it finds its way back.
Ajumma, Ajumma, Ajumma...
Seeing the ocean makes me feel better.
It's opening my heart.
Why don't you answer it?
It's been ringing all day.
Dok Mi!
Dok Mi, where are you? I came to visit you.
Surp...
Surp... rice?
Surprise. Surprise visit.
Where do I live? You don't know.
Ocean Village, Unit 402.
When will you get home?
Tell her you'll stay till she gets home.
I'll stay here till you get home.
I'm far away from home.
Don't wait.
Let's stay strangers.
She's far away.
What?
She's not back tonight?
Does it make sense for her to stay out all night in this scary world?
Call her back and ask where she is.
I've kept an eye on her the past few years.
She wouldn't stay out all night.
As her friend...
rather than the Dok Mi who never stayed out all night...
I prefer the Dok Mi who has reason to stay out all night.
What bullcrap!
Crap?
No, it's not what I meant.
I'm sorry.
I blurted that out.
Is she in trouble?
It didn't sound like she was.
But what happened to the tea?
I think I'm catching a cold.
I'm catching a cold.
I'm feverish.
Dok Mi's not coming. You're still here?
You're not going?
You want 401?
- Yes. I'm on court business. - Court?
- Are we being sued for plagiarism? - What are you doing?
Only Oh Jae Won can sign this.
There's no Oh Jae Won here.
What are you two doing?
Ah...that's why you kicked me out?
But I came home too soon?
What crap are you spewing?
She came to visit 402, but no-one's home. She just...
- Just go. - Then...
Our place is for secret dates, huh?
By any chance... are you Oh Jae Won?
Mister. I said no-one here has that name.
Yes. That's me.
Yes. May I see ID?
Why's this so slow?
Did you check his ID?
I asked if you checked his ID!
That guy's Oh Jae Won, right?
Oh Jin Rak...
No...Oh Jae Won?
OK, after the Zombie Game mess, you might want a fake name.
But shouldn't I know your real name?
Here. The court permitted Oh Jin Rak as my name.
I have no other names.
You changed your name?
- Why? - I'm not a criminal.
And if you're curious, don't ask.
Got it?
There are always kids like you around this time.
I always respond like this...
The last bus to Seoul has gone. You must stay the night.
I give a good price.
And breakfast is optional.
That's right, Ajumma.
If you insist, I have to drive drunk.
I didn't want to say this
but I can't cause trouble in the news.
I checked online and I have to wait five hours.
Let's wait a bit longer.
I offer overnight stays.
Thank you for tonight.
- I'm so tired. - I'm sure you're tired.
You never go straight home after protests.
What are you looking at?
Hey, didn't I say to turn off the light?
Remember 402's energy savings?
The urine?
Is urine all you remember? Just urine?
Nothing else?
You filthy jerk.
This is better than freezing in the car.
But things like this always happen around New Year.
Really?
That's strange. This place isn't easy to find.
The spirits are pulling you in.
Why does a woman stay out all night?
She's running from debts?
[ She wants to be a hermit? ]
[ She doesn't like you ]
[ She ran away from you! ]
[ A scam? ]
I can't believe these low people.
Where are people who speak the truth?
Where'd they go? Shouldn't there be one?
Why are you like this?
That hysterical chatter is what a woman does.
Hyung. Just eat.
Let's eat.
Why don't you start dating?
I heard you never kissed anyone.
Who told you that? Who said it?
I guessed the truth.
That woman earlier is close to my style.
But she likes you.
Her eyes sparkle when she sees you.
Her standards in men are low.
If she's your type, go for her. She's moving in soon.
She's not your type?
Unbelievable. Is that how you think?
Let me hear your style.
Ajumma. Do you feel bad being called Ajumma?
I didn't give it much thought.
But what's your job?
I do editing.
I edit for errors before a book gets published.
Then you must know a lot of hard words.
No. I use a dictionary.
True?
So I'm not so bad!
I'm good at talking, but bad at writing.
It's nice and warm. Right?
Because of me...and my lie...
I lied too.
So don't be sorry.
We lied to each other.
Why did you lie?
I told you why I did.
Go Dok Mi.
Why'd you leave a warm building
to shiver alone on a park bench?
Rather than face people, you'd freeze?
You're that afraid?
When you were asleep in the car...
I didn't want to take you home.
Because you'd go back into hiding.
If you're afraid of people...
get closer to the world.
I bet you can face people.
Until I go back to Spain...
I'll take you around and show you the world.
I need a favour.
Call. Sure, tell me.
I'll do it.
When we're back in Seoul. can you ignore me?
Even if we run into each other...
can you walk past?
Isn't that cruel in my situation?
And we both...
know a lot about each other.
That's why I feel uncomfortable.
I don't like it.
Is it even possible?
How can we ignore each other?
Isn't that cowardly?
Don't talk like you know me after a few days.
You don't.
If we run into each other, ignore me.
You said such a harsh thing too casually.
Should I feel bad now you know a lot about me?
Okay, call. And in that case...
instead of doing that,
let's just say we never met.
Okay.
A woman who can concede first.
A woman who can say "I'm sorry" first
And...
a woman with no big ambitions.
Also, a woman who's sincere even when no-one's watching.
What's all that rubbish?
Is Nobel Peace Prize winner your style?
There is such a woman.
What would you know?
Why wouldn't I know?
A woman like 402?
Hyung, by any chance...
Seriously...
Hyung, that woman...
Do you really like her?!
What is your truth?
Answer honestly.
Whenever someone asks her that, she keeps her mouth shut.
Truth is not a candy or chocolate
when unwrapped from its lies.
Just as skin protects blood and flesh underneath...
she needed lies to cover her truth.
I have a favour to ask.
When we're back in Seoul...
can you ignore me?
More than being honest and exposing her scars...
that woman felt safer lying with a brilliant smile.
The spirits are pulling you in.
Ajumma, what's wrong?

What did I just do?
It was an accident.
I wonder how she's doing alone.
Is she eating well?
Is she happy by herself? I keep wondering.
I'll pull you out of there before I leave.
Just wait!
- Ajumma. - Don't ever come back.
Did you confess to her?
Go Dok Mi...
Don't go.
Just stay.
Ajumma, are you crying?
