The day I first met Han Yeo Reum, June 15, 2004 "inside the train."
We suit each other so very well.
Contract
I know that you worked hard on the 4th year anniversary,
but if you forget to write back again, you're dead.
And... I couldn't tell you then because I was shy,
but 10 years, 20 years, and even more time, let's spend it together.
I love you.
In order to see Brown Eyed Soul's concert that Yeo Reum likes, we went to Busan.
Episode 14 Did you just call me a b*tch?
Doctor Nam, we're making sujebi. You're going to eat before you go, right?
Hyung, come see me.
Hey, just see me here. Hey!
When he lowers his voice tone, he's scary.
Hey, just now he lowered his tone of voice, right? - Yes.
Why come here instead of home?
What do you want to talk about?
I have to eat lunch.
What is it?
Is it because Yeo Reum didn't come home last night?
Kang Tae Ha,
I see that he dated Yeo Reum.
And for a long time, at least 5 years.
Don't think to change the subject since I won't be deceived further.
- I tried organizing my thoughts on the way here...- Ha Jin.
It all happened in the past.
It's not that I never thought of Yeo Reum having another man.
I too dated Yeo Reum for a year and 4 months.Wouldn't I know that?
Like you said, past matters shouldn't be an issue and has no bearing.
But that was Kang Tae Ha.
I told her not to tell you. There was nothing good that would have come from you knowing,
and if I knew that she was going to work for the company for this long I would have dissuaded her, but
truthfully how did I know what would happen?
That work too, you should have blocked her so she couldn't do it.
The emotions are all finished and how could I block work the Sol is also involved in?
She couldn't tell you, but their workshop always had a hard time.
They wanted to do interior. You know that, too.
Even if Yeo Reum couldn't tell me, you should have!
Do you not know how concerned I was about that person?!
What reason was there to have to tell you?! If I'd told you would you have felt comfortable inside?
If you knew then, would you feel a little better than you do now?
You three have tricked me.
What I really couldn't understand until now,
I understand them now. That makes me feel even more upset!
Hyung, you were just watching when you're my friend!
After Yeo Reum met you, she only knew you.
That's the truth that you and I know. What more do you need?
Right now you found out Yeo Reum's past. Are you going to break up with her because it's Kang Tae Ha?
Can you break up with her? - How could you say that so easily?
Why are you so easily saying words that I can't even say?!
Right. I don't have the right to say that. Sorry.
But don't you know Yeo Reum?
I don't know about anything else, but Yeo Reum is someone who exactly knows how she feels.
If she has any lingering feelings for Kang Tae Ha,
would she have accepted your ring?
I love you.
I know. I know that Yeo Reum loves me and
I know that we're not going to break up easily.
While she continues to do that work she's mindful of me,
and her being so watchful of me while she lives with the words 'I'm sorry' attached to her lips, is also pitiful.
But...
she has a box.
The whole time I walked here I thought all kinds of things.
No matter how I try to understand, I can't understand that.
Why is she holding onto those?
Why?
What box?
A box that has pictures she took with Kang Tae Ha,
a ring,
and even letters.
Oh man, should I just half-kill this girl?
And also,
Hyung, I really don't understand it.
I really can't understand it.
I am trying somehow to understand it, but I can't even if I die.
I'm really going crazy, Hyung.
So what are you going to do?
What I'm going to do,
I'm going to start thinking about it now.
Recently, I saw a chair and the design was so cool.
My lifelong dream is to make a chair that I love before I die.
You know that, right?
Are you going somewhere? -To the company.
The ones who went on a business trip to the Milano furniture expo last year... were Hyo Won and Team Leader Kang, right?
Call them and ask where they put those files.
I need information on living fairs and domestic furniture exhibitions, too.
And award winners of international furniture design contests, too. Find out about everything.
What are you going to do with it?
Because of Yeo Reum.
Sending you stuff related to modern French style from the piles I have. See if there's anything I can use as reference.
Yeo Reum isn't to normal standards either. When she could do it on Monday.
She's like someone.
Just like someone who goes to work on weekends.
Come out.
I'm heading to the company. I'll call you once I confirm it.
What about Ha Jin?
He went out with Do Joon Ho.
But..
nothing happened yesterday? With Kang Tae Ha?
What was supposed to happen?
We worked, ate, and drank while eating.
That's the end. At the grilled intestines restaurant next to Deoksoo Palace.
I heard that you were shaken by Kang Tae Ha, and you stayed out last night.
If you were in my shoes, how nervous would you have been?
If I cheat with Kang Tae Ha, what will you do?
Suddenly I..
"Sol, I should sleep with Kang Tae Ha. Will you be my alibi?"
What are you going to do then?
Don't do something like that, Han Yeo Reum!
You don't believe my words when I say I love Ha Jin, don't you?
Among so many words I said, you only heard that I was shaken by Kang Tae Ha.
There is only one reason why I don't do anything even if I get shaken by Kang Tae Ha.
It's not because I'm nice or because I'm ethically perfect.
The person I love is Ha Jin so he is the person I'm staying next to.
So if you change your mind, that means you'll go to Kang Tae Ha?
If I change my mind, I should go. What else could I do?
Leave the one I love and stay next to Ha Jin while living like a shell?
Bad b*tch.
Do you date to be nice? - Complicated b*tch.
Yes, I'm very complicated, so I hope you don't just look at only one thing.
How can you only hear that I'm being shaken by Kang Tae Ha out of all the words I said?
And you made so much fuss about me sleeping over at my mom's office.
Where did you go?
Date.
Ha Jin, wash your hands. I think the sujebi is going to be really delicious.
Team Leader Kang and Bae Hyo Won didn't answer the phone.
Who would answer a call from work on a weekend?
Anyway, I went through all the documents and only found this.
Award winners from the contests.
That's why I asked before to make it into a file and share it with everyone.
Yeo Reum got an award at the contest at the IFDA.
To get an award from an international contest means she's really good.
When you recommended Summer and Pine Tree, you didn't even check her career record?
I thought they were very good for a small studio. I didn't know that they were that good.
If she was at that level six years ago, she could've focused on art furniture.
Why didn't she?
After she got the award, her father passed away.
She broke up with me too, and she quit her work.
It's a waste to leave her like that.
When you two were dating, did you get along well?
Aiyoo, based on how you two get along now,
it seems like it would've been no joke.
Who knows? A bit weird couple?
We fought a lot, both had bad tempers, and great ambitions. But strangely enough, we got along very well.
I want kimchi.
Why aren't you putting the side dishes on the spoon today?
You eat on your own.
You're doing well, Docor Nam. Don't treat her too well.
Yeo Reum, I ask you for this favor
Oh, Kang Tae Ha.
Thanks for sending me the material as soon as you got home, but I don't like any of the files you sent me.
What do you not like?!
-yo.. (added to sound formal).
I've sent you everything that I've collected for 10 years from my files that have to do with that concept.
Did you look at it properly?
You're thinking of sloppily copying them now.
And the materials are not on par either.
Look for new ones, not the ones you've collected so far.
Prepare for a marathon when you come to work on Monday.
Plan to finish the design here.
How can I finish designing there? Are you playing my boss again?
If that's all you hear, think that way.
Hello? Hey!
What is it?
Nothing goes over easy with him.
He was drying up my blood on the wine project and here he goes again!
If the first run of the wine bar project finished well, can't he go easy on the next one?
What did he say?
Let's eat. Let's eat and then go out.
I loved you... and I kept missing you.
I missed you.
Don't joke with me.
You should have said that when the girl wanted to hear it!
I know I was wrong, so
why don't you give me another chance.
I got my phone switched with the man I met at the hotel and
after I went to switch my phone, I ended up sleeping at his house.
2003 Brown Eyed Soul's 1st album track number 4.
Is it a song that you liked? - At one time.
Ha Jin..
I need to go to the restroom briefly.
Ha Jin is weird today.
Something has happened.
The concert, let's not see it today.
I want to go home.
What do you think?
Okay. If that's what you want, then let's do that.
Han Yeo Reum, come here.
Keep your feet in the water for 10 minutes and come out.
Come here and sit.
You knew that my feet were hurting?
I knew, of course.
You wore those high heels and we wandered for 5 hours.
You kept your mouth shut the whole time and punished me.
If you punish me, I should be punished. What else can I do?
Why did you hold it in?
You're not the type to hold it in.
Why didn't you tell me that your foot was hurting to the point it became like this?
You only know (care about) yourself.
If it were another time, you would have tried to make the situation advantageous for you.
You're the type of person that can make tears fall out of your eyes in front of me.
Give me your other foot.
Stay still.
Tell me now, why you're like this.
I'm going to tell you now.
In your room..
I saw the box.
The box you put under your bed.
The things inside... I saw some, and others I wanted to see but held it in.
I thought about just ignoring it and letting it go until the day I die, but I can't do that.
You two are too close right now.
Why haven't you thrown it away if it's already over?
You should have thrown it away or burned it.
Say something.
I'm being patient to the point where I can't be patient more than I already am.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Ha Jin.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
After you met Kang Tae Ha again,
do you know how many times you have said "I'm sorry" to me?
The words "I'm sorry"... are they present or past tense?
I don't know what's in the box.
I haven't opened it.
I don't remember.
I was going to burn it, but I lost the timing.
That's all, Ha Jin.
I'm sorry.
That phrase, don't say it again.
You don't have to say you're sorry about things that have already passed, and
from now on don't do things that you would say sorry for.
If you want to stay apart from me for a bit, you can.
And don't say things like that either.
Even if we fight, you should say that we should be together.
Okay.
Then.. even if we fight, let's be together.
Like today.
Does it hurt a lot?
I'm okay.
Ha Jin..
I'll just finish up this project and quit that job.
Okay.
Go ahead and do that.
Hello.
We do set this up when we have marathons, but he probably won't give you time to sleep.
Wow.
Work hard. - Yes.
Work hard.
Look at the designs that I've put together over the weekend.
Why are you looking at it so inattentively?
It's a copy.
I've seen a design like this from you before.
It's the design that you made like a machine forced by the sunbaes when you started working for the furniture company.
How is that and this different?
It's furniture that's going to go in a townhouse.
It's obvious we would have to use softwood, and it would be difficult to join the wood pieces, and we have to nail them.
Who told you to do that?
If you want to save the cost- - So who told you to worry about the cost?
When you worked on the wine bar project and now, look at the contract closely.
Even if our company takes a loss, it says that the material fees are paid based on the actual cost.
You just have to pick out the best.
Why are you trying to run a business with a possible loss?
You've become a business woman, haven't you?
That's why your workshop's furniture is in that shape.
We did the wine bar project well.
You said you liked the result.
That result... did it come out from your hands from the beginning?
Did you do as much as you could from the beginning?
Only if I push you into a corner, you go forward.
I didn't ask you to use soft wood to match the prices, and I never told you to be a business woman.
Your furniture... is furniture made by a merchant. You know that?
I thought that you would be making
at least a single piece of furniture that I could tell was made by you when I went past a street and saw furniture.
What are you going to do by taking 100 pictures of chairs and carrying them around in your cell phone?
What you're making is furniture that matches the unit cost.
Work on it again.
I made the bed design again. Can't you take a look?
Why are you asking me to look at it?
You have to pick out the best from your point of view.
Eat this and work.
Yeo Reum, I ask you for this favor.
Yeo Reum, I ask you for my...
Oh..Tae Ha.
What is it? Tell me.
I'm so tired that I think I'm going to die. I slept two hours and I'm enduring it.
What is it? Tell me.
Hello?
It's me, Han Yeo Reum.
Oh, Ha Jin.
What time is it right now?
11 PM.
Are you really busy?
I've been a bit out of my mind.
If you were in the middle of sleeping, sleep more.
No, I still have stuff to do.
The words "I love you" didn't come out.
If there were introduction, development, turn, and conclusion in dating, where would we be at now?
As expected, will today be only one day out of the long time that we will spend together?
If we endure it well enough, will it pass by?
I love you.
I love you, too.
Hang up and work.
Okay. Sleep tight.
For the first time.. I said the words "I love you" to Yeo Reum without any feelings.
Do other couples have days like this, too?
Even when it's not sincere at all,
are some moments passed over with the words "I love you"?
How many days will there be that are like this day during the time that we will be living together?
Is Yeo Reum also thinking the same thought as me?
Let's step out for a moment.. to eat something simple for breakfast.
We're going to sedate you.
It might prick a bit.
Give me two club sandwiches with one without olives.
Right? - Yeah, that's right.
Enjoy your meal.
It came out really quickly.
The one without olives.
You can wrap it up around tomorrow, right?
Yeah. If I can, I'm going to try to finish it by midnight.
I really want to go home and sleep. I don't even know what day today is.
Do you want breakfast before you go? It's your birthday today.
That's right.
Since it's my birthday, I should be with good people.
During the time that we broke up,
I always thought this when looking at today's date,
"Today is Kang Tae Ha's birthday".
What are you doing not eating?
Are you okay?
Yes.
You don't seem to be in a good mood.
It was too easy.
If it was going to disappear this easily,
I don't know why, for 20 years,
I was stubborn.
You know well because you saw Tae Kyung's surgery procedure, right?
Of course, your surgery is simpler than Tae Kyung's so you can be discharged immediately.
But because the sedatives haven't completely worn off, you could be a bit dizzy, so
rest a bit and leave when you're comfortable.
Okay.
Also, since we introduced taping therapy, come by often and get it checked.
Okay.
Have you looked into studying abroad?
I had taken TOEFL at the beginning of this year, so...
I think I'll be able to go quicker than I thought.
Were your scores good?
Of course.
You're probably going to be dizzy, so sleep a bit more.
Okay.
Yeo Reum, come upstairs and have a piece of the birthday cake.
Okay.
We always do birthdays.
Start.
♪ Happy birthday to you,
♪ happy birthday to you,
♪ happy birthday...
♪ happy birthday, dear Team Leader Kang,
♪ happy birthday to you.
Thank you.
Chief Yoon!
Oh yes, Yeo Reum. It's slowly coming to an end, right?
Yes. I think I'll finish it by early morning tomorrow.
Chief Yoon,
you don't know CEO Kang's birthday?
He's not the type to celebrate those things, you know.
According to his resident registration card, his birthday's in winter, but every time I ask him he hates it.
This school is good, but
isn't this place a lot better?
I think that place is a bit..
The cost of living will be higher, but it's okay.
Oh, yeah.
Take this.
Until you go study abroad, I would like you not to do part-time jobs.
And when you go study abroad too,
I would like you to comfortably study only.
While I'm studying abroad, what do you think about me contacting you?
Will you be really lonely there?
No, no. I'm okay.
I do well by myself, too.
I just thought that maybe I could send you emails at least.
Even if I don't call,
you can just be curious whether I'm doing well, right?
And you're giving me such big help like this,
so aren't you going to be curious about my grades?
Okay. Send me emails. I'll be curious about how you're doing.
Are you sick?
Oh, I have headaches nowadays.
It's not severe.
Should I give you a recording file?
I have a sound recording of insects taken near my home in the fall.
When my heart is uncomfortable, I listen to that.
Should I send it to you?
Okay. If you send it to me, I'll listen to it once.
Tonight, I'm finished. I'm finally finished. I'm totally going to finish by 10.
From what I saw in the morning, like you said,
- I changed the chair... - The leg shape changed, too. - Yeah.
This is better.
And before you start making them, consider overall modification as well.
I was going to anyways.
And...
these are materials on international contests and living fairs.
I'll have Chief Yoon take them to the workshop, so take a look.
I hope that you...
would take on a different challenge than now.
I...
The fact that you wanted to do art furniture...
your forgetting that is sticking to my mind.
Father...
after your father passed away,
everything is frozen.
Things that are like dreams are only left as dreams.
Why are you like this to me?
When I dated you,
for not treating you better,
for not understanding you more,
for not loving you more,
I'm sorry.
There's nothing much I can do now.
Oh, right. The shelves.
In our floor plan, it's hard to figure out the space.Where are you going to put them?
Han Yeo Reum?
Oh, the kitchen shelves.
I think I would be able to create some hidden space under the stairs, so I took some pictures.
Hold on.
♫ That person is sitting in my heart ♫
♫ At some moment ♫
♫ that person sat on my body ♫
♫ and met eyes with me ♫
♫ I started ♫
♫ More than that person's words ♫
♫ the back of her white hand ♫
♫ and the steady eye stares ♫
I can't sing you the happy birthday song.
Happy birthday, Kang Tae Ha.
What are you doing? Hurry and blow the candles out.
♪ Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
♪ happy birthday Kang Tae Ha,
♪ happy birthday to you.
Tae Ha, thank you for being born.
Ta da!
- What is it? - Your present.
I don't have money, so coupons.
Hey, you got a job. Let's change this.
Letting me sleep late coupon.
It's okay to be late to a date coupon.
Stopping the nagging. Kiss coupon?
Hot night, oh!
There's a blank coupon, too. Think carefully about what you're going to use it on.
Thanks.
Now, one wish for this year.
A wish?
I wish I could see Yeo Reum a lot during the rest of this year that's about to end.
I want to earn more money so that Yeo Reum can open up the studio she wants to.
I hope that at the international design convention that Yeo Reum's been preparing for, she will get an award.
Okay! I'm definitely going to get that award!
You have to get it.
You have to.
I can't do anything else, but I can do this.
A wish for this year.
I... I...
want to become Han Yeo Reum.
I want to become Han Yeo Reum.
I want to become you just once.
I want to know why you waited for me,
and I want to know why you cried at Nami Island.
At the Deoksoo Palace Stonewall Walkway, too.
I want to know why you cried.
And also...
why, in the camera,
photos of me are in there.
I want to know that, too.
Because you...
are never going to tell me.
So I...
want to become Han Yeo Reum
and know what that feeling is.
So?
If you know my heart,
what are you going to do?
If what I think is right,
I have to hold your hand and go as far as we can go...
to the amount we can go together.
I...
still like you.
I still want to have you
and don't want to send you to anyone.
Stay with me... today.
You just have to take one step forward.
I can't go to you.
I can't go because of my father at least.
If I do that to you...
Don't shake me again like this.
I wish that after following Kang Tae Ha to the point where he drags me,
we would go to another world.
Now, it seems like this heart
isn't going to change.
♫ I loved you so much ♫
♫ where did you go up to? ♫
♫ I miss you so much ♫
♫ that it's hard to endure ♫
♫ Especially today, ♫
♫ I miss you so much ♫ I'm in front of your workplace. I'll wait. Finish up slowly and come down.
♫ While you're drunk on alcohol ♫
♫ and drunk on memories, while shaking, I am waiting ♫
♫ Again, I am waiting ♫
♫ for you ♫
Why are you like this?
Why are you crying?
Why are you seriously being like this?!
You can drive, right?
Go home.
Let's talk today, Kang Tae Ha.
Let's stop seeing each other, Kang Tae Ha.
Yeo Reum is going to quit this job, and-
Why are you deciding that?
Didn't you say you didn't want to tie Yeo Reum down?
I wasn't going to do that, but no more.
She's going to quit working, so know it like that.
You have no confidence in Han Yeo Reum, don't you?
You... won't do for Yeo Reum.
You... what do you know?
You love Yeo Reum, but
the thing that Yeo Reum loves is herself.
You just need Yeo Reum next to you, right?
But Yeo Reum isn't satisfied with just being next to you.
She's not someone that will be happy because someone is going to be next to her.
What Yeo Reum wants,
what dreams she's dreaming,
what she's giving up being next to you,
you don't know anything.
So you won't do.
What the heck?!
How?
Okay.
Hey, Han Yeo Reum. Weren't you with Ha Jin just now?
Why did you make things like this?
They fight every time they come! Every time!
Name is Kang Tae Ha and age is 34.
What's your occupation?
What about you, Nam Ha Jin?
Excuse me, this person is CEO at a company,
and he is a plastic surgeon.
Aigoo, the fine ones are like this. The fine ones.
It's because it's comfortable for them to eat and live.
Are you a company CEO?
Are you really a plastic surgeon?
Really.
What is (so great) about dating?
No, whenever they drink, they growl.
Don't come to my restaurant ever again.
Is that girl the only one in the world?
What did you fight over?
If it's assault on both sides, there's got to be a reason.
Forget that.
This guy
flew his fist,
and this guy broke things in our restaurant.
Because of this guy, this ahjussi got hurt. That's basically what happened.
A doctor hit someone and a company's CEO broke things in a person's place of business.
Get your senses straight!
What is love?
What is so great about love?
It's a world where it's hard to just eat and live.
Ahjumma, be quiet, be quiet!
I'm going to go crazy because of you.
My luck is bad this year. This is my 2nd time at a police station.
Let's be careful for the remaining months (this year).
Tell me why you cried.
It's not even just once but twice. I can't just let it slide today.
Explain...
so that I can know and understand.
And also...
stop that work immediately.
We grew apart naturally.
Can that type of ending exist?
Is there really a person that experiences that kind of break up?
If that kind of ending exists in the world, I, too, want to break up that way.
What are you doing right now?
Han Yeo Reum, you're not going to stop right there?!
Don't do this type of thing.
Let's quit, Ha Jin.
What are we quitting?
Let's quit fighting like this.
It's too obvious. We're going to break up in the end.
How do you know whether we'll break up or things will get firmer?!
I know.
We are both going to drag it to the bottom and it'll be the end.
We're doing that right now, too. You can't tell that we've reached the bottom?- Aha.
This is the bottom? Just this?
I can go more than this. It doesn't matter to me.
How much further do we have to go?
How many more scars do you want from me? Do you think I would feel good then?
How much more do you want to hate me?
Why are you trying to go through the road that's obvious even without going down?
Do you know about dating that well?
Who did you learn dating from, Han Yeo Reum?
I learned it from Kang Tae Ha. Are you satisfied?
We're completely at the bottom right now.
The bottom we can't reach anymore.
Hey, Han Yeo Reum.
You bad b*tch.
♫ I'm looking at you again ♫
♫ Your white face and pretty lips ♫
♫ Can I remember it all? If I send you off ♫
♫ again, I bow my head down, ♫
♫ my tears that I'm holding back, ♫
♫ Can I look back for a moment? If you try to plead ♫
♫ The fact that I can't do anything ♫
♫ is there but makes me regret ♫
♫ like a child I can't say anything ♫
♫ Like this, I'm sending you ♫
He's right. Joon Ho oppa's words are right.
I am a bad b*tch.
I am a bad b*tch, but
besides Kang Tae Ha and Nam Ha Jin, those two,
who can say that I'm bad?
