Episode 05
The spirits are pulling you in.
Ajumma, what's wrong?
Ajumma, this is...just an accident, an accident. The thing is...
Are you okay?
Ajumma...
It was like a car accident! Two cars crashed in the dark...
I couldn't see in the dark!
What did I just do?
I didn't commit a big sin. Don't be nervous, be confident.
I'll break up with the guy who gets my first kiss.
I'll remember it to the end.
No way. You'd break up even if you like him?
I'll kiss the Literature teacher.
- What? - I'll jump him at graduation.
Then I'll break off with him. Isn't it a perfect plan?
Do you have fantasies about your first kiss?
I...will stay forever with the guy who has my first kiss.
- Why? - Why? It's romantic.
Who's talking?
I did nothing.
I heard you screaming and with no regard for myself,
I ran to check you're okay.
Not many men would do that. I'm not ashamed.
Let's go. You're okay to drive?
402? She's so serious. That annoys me.
Why are you annoyed? She's as quiet as the air.
What's Dok Mi done to you? Why'd you be annoyed?
Dok Mi? Even her name's lonely.
Hyung, a woman should be brighter.
Is a woman a light fixture?
Are the women you hang around at night so bright?
Why are you so sensitive? And how'd you know about those girls?!
Why be angry with me?!
Why are you fighting? Don't.
You can't pay? You're broke?
Wata...Wata-san...
- Give me liquor. - Liquor?
Liquor...one bottle.
Okay, liquor.
No! No! Don't!
How can you drink? No! Get him out of here!
Get up, get up. Where are you going?
Don't drink here. Let's go! Let's go!
Let's get you out of here!
It's okay.
Ah, right.
I'll be right back. Just a sec.
Just as skin protects flesh and blood...
a lie protected the truth.
Rather than expose her scars...
lying with a bright smile pasted on her face
felt safer to her.
Listen. Don't crumble easily in strong waves.
Last as long as you can, ok?
I MAKE UP 1000 EXCUSES TO MEET YOU BY CHANCE
Okay. 402 is a woman... I like her as a human being.
Ok, yeah! 402 is really nice! And incredibly frugal.
From now on, should I call her 'Sister-in-law'?
See? You say stuff like that.
You jerks think only Eros exists between men and women.
Pure.
Innocence.
Respect.
Honour.
Soul Mate.
What are they?
Characteristics.
Oh my gosh!
You're drunk enough to spout English.
Do you know how fateful our first meeting was? .
Excuse me. .
You should've sold me the car after you moved! .
Well, I had a situation. Why are you angry? .
Get your stuff out.
- Right now? - Quickly, quickly!
Why are you in a mad rush?
What the heck? .
I have so much stuff. Did the boxes multiply? .
I can't believe that guy mixed up the boxes. .
I can't open every box to check. .
That's mine. .
I marked all my boxes.
If it was so fateful,
you should've got her number and made a move!
What'd you do these 3 years? You seem total strangers.
What? Get her number and make a move?
How dare you insult Dok Mi with cheap comments?
That woman needs respect and protection!
Who'd put the moves on her? You can't do that to her!
Y'know-what-I'm-sayin'?
I'm getting so sleepy.
Ta da!
The elephant was in Spanish news because it knows Korean. Amazing, eh?
World linguists came to study it.
Did they say how the elephant learned speech?
It was little when it came alone to a Korean zoo.
The little elephant was lonely.
Because it wanted to communicate with someone...
it learned the zookeeper's language...
like a miracle.
Why don't you learn to communicate too?
"When we're back in Seoul, ignore me?"
Don't talk like that.
"Is driving tiring? Want to listen to music?"
It'd be nice if you said that.
The elephant learned to speak. Won't you find it easier?
Are you crying?
Look at me. You are crying.
You're emotional over the elephant?
I'm not crying.
Right?
Don't worry.
It's a happy ending.
The elephant doesn't speak now.
It got a girlfriend and speaks elephant.
It's not lonely anymore.
I'm awake now. Let's go.
Do you know how kind Dok Mi is, staying up at night to...
Oh, you get weirder every day!
Dok Mi stays up sorting... .
- Why can't everyone do it? - You're drunk, so I'll ask... .
Why'd you change your name? .
Business or personal reasons? .
You committed fraud? .
Or you went bankrupt? .
I said not to ask even if you die of curiosity. .
It's cold! Let's finish this! Done, almost done! .
What 'done'? See all this...? .
What are you doing? Don't! .
Get up! What are you doing? .
C'mon, get up! .
Get up! .
Come on, get up! .
Why set the alarm when I have to wake you every day? .
Wake up! Get up! .
Get up. I don't wanna hear that. .
Ajumma... .
The sand castle I made .
will be wiped out by the waves. .
By then... .
our unrequited and first loves will be wiped clean. .
I put a strong spell on it. .
I'm sorry. Thank you for everything. .
"How long are you staying in Korea?" .
You won't even ask me that? .
I guess not. No interest, so no questions. .
Seo Young was like that. .
She had no interest in me as her neighbour,
but was curious about Tae Joon in Korea.
But I was curious about you.
Why's she peep on us?
Why's she hide inside?
I wonder what she does?
But to you, I'm like someone behind you on the subway...
just someone you pass by.
We really are strangers.
Enjoy your visit to Korea.
Have a safe trip back.
Is it what you really think?
To hide the truth, a lie is needed.
It's better to lie with a smile on your face.
How could you read my diary
and overstep boundaries?
It wasn't a diary.
And I saw the word 'lie'
and without even realizing...
I would never...
read yours.
I won't lie about reading it.
Even if I've been hurt, and worse things happen...
truth is always better.
Have you experienced it?
Truth disguised as lies...
Instances where lies become the truth...
Please...
Forget about me and what you read.
Lies can never become truth.
Look into your heart.
See what went wrong.
Go..Go Dok.. Go Dok Mi.
I...heard you stayed out all night and mightn't come back.
Why I know that is...
Cha...
Cha... your friend...stopped by.
Wow, the milk comes early!
Why don't you...take your milk in?
Enjoy your milk.
Hey! What are you doing?!
You should've stopped me!
Why can't you do anything right?
I did stop you yesterday!
You weren't your normal self!
Should I worry for no reason?
I'm so humiliated. What do I do?
Uh, what now?
Did you confess to her while I slept?
How'd you...? Did you see it?
Oh my God!
You said she needs protecting, and can't be shaken up...!
Eh? What's this?
Oh my God!
Why are you here early?
You stayed out all night?
What do you mean?
But...why are you here?
I have to talk to you.
What kept you so busy?
Are you avoiding Tae Joon?
Tae Joon says it's hard to see you.
Can't you stop worrying him?
He keeps me at a distance because of you!
I'll make special tea to calm you down.
Water is a nice 70 degrees.
180 ml.
I have no problem with Tae Joon
He's just being careful with me.
That means he likes you.
He must like you a lot.
You can see the next building clearly.
What's that saying on rearview mirrors?
What do they say on the back...
It's like rearview mirrors.
I bet they can even hear us.
It's closer than it looks.
"Objects in mirror are closer than they appear"
That's right.
You are smart.
But they're not actually as close as they appear.
Hurry up!
Hey, hey, hey!
Oh my!
Be careful! Careful!
Are you okay?
Thank you.
When you're moving, those shoes are a no-no.
- Cute! - How are you! (O genki desu ka)
You tarts!
Fancy seeing you. Welcome to the neighbourhood.
I'd help but Jin Rak's ill so we need to...
sober him up...
Are you sick? Maybe it's flu?
A scary flu is going around.
This won't do. I'll make you homemade ginger tea.
It's not flu.
He said you're sick.
It's a common hangover treatable with soup.
Hey!
Let's go! I'm hungry.
Excuse me...
By any chance, would you model for my shopping mall?
- Model? - Model?
I...I knew it! You see my potential!
Hyung! Take care of your own hangover.
No, no, no!
Go. Go with him.
We can discuss modelling later.
A hangover is nasty alone.
It feels miserable.
Yes, Miss Cha. Call us any time.
Hyung! Wait for me!
Hyung. I'm going to be a model.
402's friend is CEO of a shopping mall.
I knew she smelled of money.
Don't worry.
Even if I become a star and celebrity,
I'll still draw the webtoon.
Dong Hoon, you're so cool. You're the best.
That's right. Those two were friends!
You should've told me those two were friends!
Why can't you do anything right!
Let's be kind.
Treat her kindly... kindly.
What the..? Is he still drunk?
Hey, home-made ginger tea...
- Do any shops sell it? - How's that a problem?
- Though we sell women's clothing... - you'll use male models?
We can expand, you tacky tarts!
You're so funny!
Miss Do Hwi.
Oh my, Jae Won...Jin Rak.
Welcome to our neighbourhood.
Thank you.
I guess we were meant to meet.
Dok Mi got home at the crack of dawn
so it doesn't count as staying out all night. .
Did you come back just to tell me that? .
No, no... she came back early so she needs sleep. .
Once you unpack, later this afternoon... .
wait till later to see her, got it? .
When she steps into the world, that woman often becomes invisible. .
When she gets shoved around and stepped on, .
and overlooked... .
she feels invisible to others. .
That's why she hid in her room. .
Her small room was like a cozy nest for a bird with an injured wing. .
In that space, that woman can breathe freely. .
She never missed or dreamed of the world outside. .
At least until now... .
At least until now. .
Ajumma... .
I caught the flu on our trip to the sea. .
I'm coughing up blood! .
I think... I'm really sick... .
Want some flu medicine? .
Wanna go to hospital? .
Ajumma. I found a hairpin in the car. .
Is this yours? .
Ajumma. .
The penalty for debtors is no joke. .
We have to repay those people. .
I can't sleep because of money we owe.
Ajumma...
Let's pay them back.
Ajumma?
[ Let me know your account number ]
I don't have a Korean bank account.
Am I paying them all by myself?
[ Let me know Han Tae Joon's bank account number ]
[ I will be back soon! ] .
I don't want to! I'll get it from you!
If she won't see him, he should accept it!
Is this a club? Why's he barge in every day?
Ugh! Seriously!
I won't stand it any longer.
My patience reached its limit.
Dunno how it'll go.
Hey! You!
Hey!
By any chance...
are you Enrique?
You know me?
You live on the fourth floor.
Remember I got treated like a pervert the other day?
With my panda hat?
I remember! I remember!
You almost got kicked out because you had no rent money!
Why'd you pretend you didn't know who I was then!
Seriously, you're slyer than you look!
I just thought you looked a bit familiar.
Number. Give me your number.
- My number? - Number... your number.
Give me your number.
- What's your name? - My name?
- Oh Jin... - Huh?
- Oh J...ae Won. - Oh Ji Ae Won.
- Four words? - No, Oh Jae Won.
Oh Jae Won.
But how do you know me?
- From games? Animation? - Anima...
Games. I game a bit.
A.R. Madrid?
I back Barcelona!
I can't believe I met a rival!
Barcelona? You're a rival!
El Classico!
Why'd you wait so long to recognise me!
Let's go.
Do you know how lonely I was, knowing no-one?
I don't know if it's because you're lonely...
but you visit 402 everyday.
But she won't open her door. She says I'm a stranger.
If she won't let you in...
why do you come every day?
Knock and it shall be opened!
That's not the case!
There's also, "Don't knock and it won't open!"
Who opens their door to a stranger knocking on it?
We're not total strangers.
What are you saying? The bottom line is...
pounding on a stranger's door is a form of violence!
You must hate the noise! Sorry, sorry!
How about a round of games to celebrate meeting?
What?
- Let's go... let's go. - Hey...
When did they get so close?
Oh my, it's nice to see. It's like me in young days.
Just like kids say... what a joke.
Give me my parcel!
I'm busy, so why aren't you giving it to me? Seriously!
Ah! That's right, the parcel.
But you don't need a parcel to see me.
Don't over-exert yourself. I'm a pro in this game.
- Loser pays for the games. Call? - Call.
Wait and see who the loser is.
Oh... manly of you.
Okay, look after me.
You're pretty good.
Ugh... what's this?
There it goes again. It's not like I'm used to.
- It's uncomfortable. - Really?
- Take it! Come on! - You're competitive.
Nice!
- How'd that make it in? - No kidding.
Hyung. Fighting!
Stay strong!
That went up in flames.
He didn't come home?
The number is unavailable. Please leave a message.
[ Still can't get hold of Que-Geum? ]
[ I can't stand worrying. I'll come now ] .
The toothpaste's all gone. .
This won't do. .
Sun hurts my eyes. .
Dunno when I last gamed all night in a PC Room.
It's my first time since my army discharge.
Look at your 5 o'clock shadow.
So you were in the army?
Sure. You haven't been yet?
- I was in special forces. - Commando?
My shooting and attack abilities are no joke.
When I see an enemy, their vulnerable spots jump out at me.
- Do you know the magic eye? - No.
You don't know? Not your generation?
The magic eye lets you easily see vital spots.
It's why I can never fight. Why, you ask?
I'm a killing machine.
See? I automatically go for the vital spots.
- So I almost died? - Sure!
So cool! You were in the army!
Totally a man! Wow!
I haven't been in the army
but I'm good at running.
I may be as fast as Usain Bolt.
I see.
You compare yourself to Usain Bolt?
Want to race home to see who's faster? Call?
Your competitive streak is no joke.
No, forget it... Start!
You... you cheat!
Wait, wait, wait...
- My knees.. my joints... - Huh?
The cold weather affects my joints.
- What do I do? - Really?
Are you okay?
I'm fine. Let's call it a day.
Why'd you try so hard?
You ran all out.
- I was running casually. - Oh my god...
I was taking it easy.
Anyway, I have things to do.
See you later.
Bye.
So you're ignoring me?
Ajumma...
Why do people not eat it hot but take it away?
It's up to the buyer.
Ajumma...
You put food 'to go' in an expensive bowl?
Smart, nice people bring back the bowl.
Ajumma...
What's that?
- Liver. - Liver? You sell liver?
It comes with the meal, but this young lady dislikes liver.
Ah... this young lady?
This is your smart, nice young lady?
I see.
Thank you. Have a great day.
I may be far off but I still know you.
Oh! Startled me!
I can't believe I ran into you.
How fascinating.
Oh yeah...
That bag looks heavy. Can I carry it for you?
No. No need.
There's nothing heavy in it.
So you take food 'to go' in a dish? .
Yes. .
Dok Mi... .
Um...the truth is... .
I have something to say to you .
so I was waiting for you. .
So the thing is... last time... .
Early the other morning... .
About what happened... .
I should explain myself. Just a sec. .
So the thing is... .
Even though I'm far off, I still know you. .
I have a better expression. .
Even though I live close by, I still don't know you. .
So I'm saying... .
I wonder about you all the time. .
How you're doing by yourself... .
Whether you eat well... .
Whether you're happy alone... .
I'm concerned all the time. .
A great day... a refreshing day... a joyful day... .
The drawings I stuck on the milk carton every morning... .
That was my secret and I enjoyed doing it. .
I did it for my own pleasure. .
Stop saying 'unrequited love'. .
It's something I started and can end on my own. .
A secret no one can find out. .
I'm sorry. You must be cold. .
Would you like to go inside? .
I really did come here to shoot Cupid's arrows. .
There's another couple. .
Ugh, it's so cold! .
Um...
I'm sorry if I scared you.
Please don't feel pressured.
Just because of what I said, don't shut your door tighter.
If you tell me not to do it, I won't.
I won't go near your door again.
No...no, it's fine.
Saving your drawings and flipping through them is fun.
Thank you.
That's why I drew them.
It's nice to hear you know what they're for...
I'm sorry.
Why'd you stay out all night?
Director!
What?
This isn't how I normally dress! Just a sec.
Wait!
Jae Won...
Jin Rak stayed out all night?
I'll change and be back.
Your foot...
All night?
Go Dok Mi...

Please...let's have no more bad blood between us.
What?
402 and Enrique live together?
I'm the first to step in here, right?
Ajumma, do you know how weird you are?
No, no!
A man and a woman... all night...in a room of love.
I have to drag that guy out of her house right now!
