PLAYFUL KISS
Episode 7
Hey, it's you again.
Your girlfriend?
Of course not.
I thought so.
Seungjo, shall we grab a cup of coffee?
No, I gotta go.
You're home?
Hey...
What?
Well, the girl I saw at the lecture hall today...
Hera Yoon?
Hera? Is that her name? Is she a senior?
Senior? Does she seem like a senior?
Well, I guess. She's called
-the goddess of the freshmen. -A goddess?
So she's in the same year?
She got into Parang Univ, ranked second of all the freshmen.
You are the first.
She didn't have to come to our school, then. Why did she?
Are you being jealous?
What? Who's jealous? Not at all.
Why not? You could be jealous.
We did kiss, didn't we?
Kiss?
Would this be the second kiss?
Look at your face.
He mocked me again.
That kiss meant
nothing to him.
It was a joke to him.
Come, join us.
-Should you just jump on him? -Sign up here.
That might make him hate her.
-It's difficult. -I know.
Shit. I gotta go.
What about lunch?
Actually I've got a job.
-A job? -Yeah.
At Parang hair salon, in front of the school.
Really? Congratulation!
Well done!
I'm not sure yet.
I need to work my way up from the very bottom.
Anyway, I've started. So it might be difficult to have lunch with you guys now.
I gotta eat really quickly when it's not busy.
Come by when you have time.
Then, I'll head off now.
Bye, see you later.
Good luck! Take care!
I can't have lunch with you as well.
How come?
The seniors in our department are getting all the freshmen lunch today.
I need to eat alone then...
I'm sorry, Hani. Sorry.
I don't want to eat alone.
Chicken cutlet/ Traditional meal Meatloaf/ Pork with rice
Pork cutlet, chicken cutlet...
Meatloaf...
You don't get it if you don't read it out?
Hey.
I was going to ask you if you'd like to have lunch together.
What do you want? Pork cutlet?
A slice of meatloaf, please.
Same one, please.
With extra vegetable as well.
Same here.
Excuse me. I think there's something wrong with the orders.
Why? Is there a problem?
Jungu?
Mr. Genius, you have some nerve to have a problem with my fair distribution.
Hey, Hani. Haven't seen you for a long time, right?
How come you're here?
Weren't you working at my dad's restaurant?
I am. I'm there in the evening, and work here during the day.
I'm work hard and make good money.
You can just come and be my wife whenever you want.
Okay? I'm all ready.
You're in the same school as that asshole.
How could I just let it slide? Right?
Seungjo. How is it?
Surprised?
Sure. Surprised.
How can you always just tag along a girl's tail?
A girl's tail?
This is love.
Love. Do you even know what that is?
Hey, keep it down.
Excuse me. Can you give me this properly?
What is this? How come you served so little?
Bong, you can't do this.
Ma'am, it is enough for him.
Have a nice lunch.
Hani! Bon appétit.
Let's sit here.
Hani!
I'll join you in a bit.
I got you!
It took me long time.
Kyungsu, haven't seen you a while.
A while?
How could you not contact me as soon as you got into our school?
Not nice, you know.
Should I have?
Should I have? You cold ass.
Okay, let me just get to the point.
-Have you joined any club yet? -Club?
-Not interested. -Who joins a club for something? Just do.
So, don't be so... Anyhow, just sign up for our club.
If you join us, we can go on to national competition.
National competition?
No, I haven't played it for a long time as well.
All right. Seungjo. When you just started high school,
who got you the series of the Red Shoe Diary?
Can't remember? Well, then the year after,
the hottest issue on the dark side of the Internet, who downloaded...
All right. I'll do it.
You just said yes. It means yes, right?
Thanks a lot. I knew you were a good person!
Well, after you're done with classes, come to our club room.
-I will -All right. You promised!
Club activity?
-Hi. -Don't you have any class?
Aren't you tired of following me?
Anyway, what kind of club is that?
Not telling you.
-Why not? -Because you might follow me there too.
I'm not following you around...
Strong Man Show Club
Can I help you?
Hello! Kyungsu.
I see everyone is here.
Here's the list of the new people.
Where did she go? Come in.
Well done, you.
Hey, come here. Have a seat.
Look who's here. Hi, again.
What? Thank god I followed him.
You play tennis well?
No, I mean, I don't know yet. I haven't played it before.
You shouldn't have come here if you never have played.
Does it seem just a play thing for you?
He said I can join without experience.
He said he right spirit and passion is what matters.
He did?
Just let her be, she never thinks anyway.
Okay.
She does seem so.
Okay, listen up, everybody.
Okay, I'll get it started.
Since it's our first meeting, we're going to just exchange names
and introduce ourselves to each other. And our practice session starts
this Thursday, bring your rackets then.
Nice to meet you, I'm Kyungsu Wang. I'm taking care of training side.
Second year in philosophy major.
Second year?
Yes, 21 years old.
Twenty one?
I'm sorry.
No, it's all right.
Well, even my mom calls me sir, you know.
She says I look too old to be her son.
Anyway, thanks to you I think we broke the ice.
All right, I'll carry on.
This year,
we have the best freshmen
joining the best club, Top Spin Tennis Club.
To start with,
the first place winner of
the national high school tournament two years ago,
Seungjo Baek.
And in the same tournament,
also the first place winner
in woman's division,
Hera Yoon.
Nice to meet you all.
For some reason, I don't know why,
We haven't been popular since last year amongst the girls
so fewer sign up.
But this year, voluntarily,
I mean, there's a girl who came here herself
and wants to join us, she is...
Her name is...
Hani Oh.
I'm Hani Oh, social science major.
How long have been playing tennis?
I've never even held a racket before.
I've played badminton.
Let's welcome her.
It's okay.
Are you okay?
Sure. And wow...
It was quite strong. I think you can get better soon.
-I'm sorry. -Don't mention it. I said okay.
You look nice.
-Really? -Yeah, you do.
You do look nice.
You got all set.
Well... I have to get things ready so...
It screams, "It's my first time playing tennis."
It's all over you.
You know, stupid kids just buy pens just before their exams.
Right, in every color as well.
Anyway, you seem very close to Kyungsu?
Yeah, I like him a lot.
He's like tofu.
-Tofu? -Yes.
He's soft, kind and he is friendly too.
Quite different to someone I know.
You really are so clueless.
Let's go.
Everybody! Hey, Kyungsu!
As it's the first day, I'll just test the level.
When your name is called,
you step into the court there and serve the ball back.
Kyungsu will serve the ball.
No needs to feel pressured.
We're gonna just see what level of your skill is.
That's all. So don't feel pressured at all.
So, I'll serve you five balls each.
Don't push it too much. You can get hurt.
Remember to be careful.
If it rains, do we still practice?
Of course. We practice whether it rains or snows.
So get ready. We're gonna start soon.
Move your ass!
Lazy little slugs!
Mansik Han, Mechanical Engineering.
Oh, my God.
What are you doing? Hit the ball. Let's go again.
Keep your eyes on the ball.
What was that?
Try to hit it, at least once!
Why don't you hit it!
Next, Hera Yoon.
Kyungsu! What was that.
Do it properly!
Next.
Next is Seungjo Baek.
Hey, Seungjo. Good to see you here.
I've been waiting for this day to see you in the court.
I hope to have a good game.
Well, I went a little easy on you since you haven't played for a couple of years.
I guess I didn't need to.
Thanks, please go easy on me. I got lucky with that one.
Brat...
Okay. That's enough.
Good game.
Oh, crap. He's so pissed off.
I know. The one next is dead.
The last, Hani Oh.
Hani Oh! Where are you going?
Come here in the court.
Mr. Tofu is calling you, go ahead.
It's all because you!
You'd better come now.
Excuse me...
Stand in position.
I'm sorry but it's my first time playing in my entire life.
So, please be easy...
Shut up! You don't play tennis with your mouth.
Are you playing dodge-ball or what? Hit the ball!
If you run away from the ball one more time...
Oh, my God!
Hani, are you okay? Are you hurt?
Hani, open your eyes! Her nose is bleeding!
Yes! That's it! That's the spirit!
Trying to hit the ball even if you fall down without backing off!
Good job, Hani!
Well, cheers.
You okay?
That weirdo is usually a nice guy, except when he holds a tennis racket.
-Really? -Yes.
He can't even come over here, he's so embarrassed.
Hey! How can you two have
the looks, brains, and tennis skill as well?
-It's just so not fair. -I bet you two were always popular.
-Not really. -Liar.
I think Hera must have dated a lot.
I wasn't interested in dating.
Why?
"Others are my enemy but I need others.
Because I want my identity acknowledged through others."
That's when we go dating.
The identity here means?
Identity has the power to conquer all through the desire and will of oneself.
And when we respect others' identity,
we love,
to put it in words.
Why? Is it giving you a headache? The most important part is coming.
Therefore love is,
to lose one's identity and fall into the other's possession.
When that happens, a feeling arises which is called hatred.
Thus, love is always bound to fail.
What is it?
My brain hurts.
You like Sartre?
Rather than Sartre, I'm more into the relationship between him and Beauvoir.
Sartre and Beauvoir?
I know them.
Wait, you two are like them.
Sartre and Beauvoir met each other at the national exam
and were the top and the second.
That's right.
Really? I can't believe it.
She sound like a female version of him.
Yeah, you'd better watch her.
You broke your nose by playing tennis just to follow your sweetheart.
What is it? You seemed so lucky in the spring.
I know... Out of winter and back to winter.
No. There's still hope.
What hope?
You are here.
What a coincidence that we are in the same class.
I'm so glad you're here. I heard this class is really difficult.
Yes, this is it! Being in the same class with Seungjo.
I couldn't even dream of this in the high school years.
Yes! Spring in my life is here.
Is the guy at the back with you?
Hey, Hani.
What are you doing here?
What? What's the problem?
I missed the time when I was studying as well.
I didn't know you liked studying.
Hey, do you know how difficult it is to
get out of the cafeteria in these busy hours?
I didn't know the job at the cafeteria was so free.
Well, I feel little guilty about the other people there...
But what can I do?
Is this seat taken?
What a coincidence. We're in the same class again.
I haven't got a clue what he's saying.
Hani!
Can you understand?
Jungu, quite.
Pardon me.
What? Me?
What is he saying?
Why are you laughing? She's good.
Me?
Me? Me?
What is he saying?
Oh, shit.
I'm a high school student.
Yes, a high school student.
What?
Are you saying you're in high school?
No, I wanted to say I don't to go college.
As in I'm not a student here.
Everyone sitting here is paying a lot of tuition to be here.
How about you stop pestering people
-and go away? -What? Pestering?
If you don't have a brain, you can be quite about it.
Nothing worse than a guy with no brain.
You are like a pest.
You don't have any class today?
College, like, isn't...
That easy...
Why? Something happened?
Nothing particular.
But there are so many people
who are smart and good looking.
I guess Seungjo would prefer
girls who are
pretty, smart, and slim.
Wouldn't he?
So, there's a girl like that?
Hani,
I may look really young
but I'm all grown up, right?
Something's I know for sure when I see it.
You two...
You two are perfect when you're together.
-What? -I mean, you're a match.
Just like this.
I don't know how perfect that girl is.
But it's no use if she's not a match.
Look at this.
What can you do if it doesn't fit?
So,
you don't have to worry about it, okay?
-Yes. -All right.
Stop wiping that. You're going to make a hole in it.
What's up, Eunjo?
Calligraphy material?
Okay. Ink-stone and paper?
What are looking at? Couldn't you hear me calling you?
Hani!
Why are you here at my school?
Hey, I came all the way here to give you this.
Should I take it back home?
-Give it to me. -What were you looking at, by the way?
Oh, now I know. It's her, right?
She is so pretty.
Most of girls are prettier than you.
You little!
-Here. -Thank you.
I don't want to play any more.
Right? Okay. Would you like some...
Cookies?
I don't want to get fat.
You can put some more weight on.
Do you want to play checkers?
It's boring.
Come on!
Something interesting!
I wanna go home.
Mom said you should stay for dinner.
Seungjo!
Eunjo's friend?
You've done a good job.
Smart boy.
This one...
This one goes like this.
Wow.
Can I stay for the dinner?
Do you want some more?
No, I'm good. Thank you.
You smarty.
Seungjo!
Do you believe in falling in love first sight?
Well, I haven't thought about it.
Well, I didn't.
I thought it was all a made-up story.
But now I do.
When you entered the room earlier,
everything else around you got blank.
Only thing I could see was you.
Hey, wait just seven years for me.
Eunjo.
Are you out here alone because Sara likes your brother?
She just doesn't know yet how great you are.
Hey, sweetie.
Leave me alone.
Come on.
Hey, you're charming.
Where's Eunjo?
You worried?
What? What have I done?
Player.
-What? -I can see.
You pretend you don't but I can tell.
-What are you talking about? -You being a player.
When I'm about to give up, when I think maybe this won't work,
you give me that smile...
Saying things deliberately confusing
if it's real or not. Just playing me for a fool.
What are you talking about?
Right. Good luck.
You two are perfect. Evil.
Hey, are you talking about Hera?
You're not talking about Eunjo.
Well. It's the same story.
Is he okay?
Go away! I don't want to see you. It all happened because of you.
Go away.
I'm sorry.
You brought her here.
I didn't even ask you.
You're right. I overstepped again.
You know me...
I'm really sorry.
I know whatever I say won't make you feel better.
Know what? What do you know?
I know...
I might know the most in the world.
I know what it is like when somebody I love is looking at the other direction.
Smiling...
I know very well how it feels.
I know how you can't be jealous honestly.
Are you talking about my brother?
Eunjo.
I think it is almost a miracle
if two people fall in love with each other.
Would that miracle happen to me one day?
Who knows.
Don't.
Stop it.
Well, should I get a temporary place?
Chef! Would you look at this?
All right. Hey...
Why is it so tough?
Did you knead one direction?
Right. I mixed it up.
I thought so.
Good seasoning, though. You used marshfire glasswort?
Yes. It's amazing.
How does that grass taste of salt?
It has a much richer taste, like it's sweet.
Yes, that's right. You don't need anything else
if you have that and some plums.
Hey. What if somebody hears the secret.
Just go and knead again.
What should I do with this?
There's another dough in the fridge to mix with.
Yes, sir.
All right.
There it is.
When should I get to make noodle myself?
I should learn soon and make Hani one.
-Hey, Jungu. -Yes, Chef.
Do you like Hani that much?
Chef, it's a bit embarrassing you asking me straight
as Hani's dad.
If Hani wasn't there, I wouldn't have finished high school.
When everyone was avoiding me because I was full of trouble,
Hani stayed with me as a friend.
That made it possible for me to finish school.
-I didn't know that. -It was, Chef.
Am I doing it right? Towards the inside.
You do live in the same house.
-Hey. -Hey, Eunjo.
We got a group assignment.
So we need to get some materials and all.
Do you mind studying in the library?
What assignment?
It's for the Understanding Western Philosophy class.
We need to hand in the assignment as a group.
Your brother?
Yes. His name's Eunjo.
Hi.
Come up.
She's pretty.
It's a lot nicer out here.
It has a better view too.
They say when Western guy thinks if a woman comes over to his place,
he takes it as her gesture to agree to sleep with him.
So what do you want?
Should we research separately first and put them together later?
All right. We can't cover it all in a short time.
What should be the main idea of our research?
Well, for me, the word "happiness" keeps coming in my mind.
What? Happiness?
Happiness?
That's great. Beyond denial to happiness!
What about making as a video instead of a research paper
-A video? -Something like clay animation.
We can depict the process of formation and extinction.
We can capture the idea of happiness onto film.
You have a camera home, right?
Hi, mom.
I'm just gonna grab a camera.
-A camera? -For an assignment with his friend.
Group assignment for two people.
-Is it? -Yes, his friend is here.
And she's so pretty.
What? A girl?
Yes. Don't get wrong ideas. The Professor grouped us together.
I'll put this back later. And Eunjo,
I need something from your school stuff. You don't mind, do you?
Have a good night.
You too. Don't leave the door open when you go out.
Don't worry.
Good night. See you.
Everyone else is in college,
joining clubs and taking English class...
I feel a bit stuck.
But what can I do? I should learn quickly, and become the best chef.
So I can propose to Hani.
Hani. What are you doing now?
Would it be okay to call her?
I've never done it this late.
I'm nervous.
Seungjo, can you spread the petals?
-Like this? -Good!
-Your mom? -She's...
-Hello, Mrs. Baek. -Hi.
-You're working on the same assignment? -Yes.
We should have asked you first.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude
-without asking you. -All right...
-Where's Hani? -Must be in her room.
Where is she? I heard she's home.
Her phone is here.
She's not in her room.
Isn't she?
Went out somewhere, maybe.
Hani! Hani!
What is that?
Where is this dude coming from?
I've never seen him look so happy.
Is Seungjo feeling
what's called '"happiness"?
Done.
Do you mind bring me some water?
Wait a second. We haven't had anything to eat.
I'll be back in a second.
Shit. Shit.
Should I jump?
I can't bump into her now.
I'd rather die.
Hello?
No, I'm outside.
At a friend's house for an assignment.
It's done now.
I'll call you back on the way.
-I'm heading off now. -Bye.
I hope to see you in the court soon.
You can't just spend years picking up balls.
I'd say you're trying hard. Come even when Seungjo's not.
-Why is he not coming? -You didn't know?
He's a special member.
He only joined under the condition he would come only when he wants.
You live together. How did you not know that?
Wait. That means...
You're not that close, right?
Cool.
It's shame that there isn't much
of competition.
She's like a grown up.
We're the same age. Why am I so immature?
By the way, he comes here only when he wants to?
Why did I even join here then?
Why am I picking up all these?
Dad.
Why?
-That's spicy. -I like it spicy.
Do you like
playing tennis?
It's hard.
Is it?
Why did you call me up?
Put some more diced radish in.
I asked you what's up, Dad.
Let's move out, Hani.
We can't live there forever.
-But... -Well...
I'm here working most of the time, so it's okay.
But you seem to have a hard time.
That hurts me.
Let's move out.
I'll look for some place.
-Are you okay? -It's just spicy.
I think I put too much of that chili.
It's making me cry.
I told you it would be spicy.
No. I wouldn't like Hani to go.
I don't like it. No.
Honey, calm down.
Hani will be gone...
Hey, Gidong.
You really don't have to.
We really want you to stay here.
And it's not like you are not living off us,
you even pay monthly fees.
Thanks, I do appreciate it. But we've been here too long.
Seungjo and Eunjo may feel uncomfortable.
And I think it would help
Hani to give up on Seungjo.
But that... I'll take care of that.
No, thanks. It's okay.
What do you mean no?
Anyway it's their problem.
You know well that Seungjo's not...
What am I gonna do...
What if...
Hani and Seungjo get married and she moves in?
Then everyone's happy, right?
I just love Hani so much. She's cheerful, bubbly.
She's hard working and cute.
Seungjo will find it in himself to like her.
I'm sure!
My little baby must be
the happiest girl.
She's loved by you so much.
Stop crying.
Hey, Hani is moving out.
Hani and her father are moving out.
Isn't that great?
Since she arrived, she's been nothing but trouble for you and me!
Moving out?
-Why? Disappointed? -Well,
everything's gonna be back to normal then.
Right.
I hope so.
I gotta go pack.
Good night.
Hani, let's get going. Everybody's waiting, downstairs.
Is that all?
Dad.
I know...
Geumheui,
and Seungjo,
Eunjo.
We owe you a lot for a long time.
I'm really sorry for having caused all the troubles...
Right.
Please come by my place, okay?
Hani, you should say goodbye too.
Thank you for everything.
You gave me wonderful memories,
cooking me nice food every time,
bringing pizza and taking pictures of us on my class pep rally day,
invited my friends to
the family camping trip to the beach,
throwing my college acceptance party...
I couldn't forget what you've done for me.
Everything happened while I was here.
Really.
Hani.
I'm sorry if I've been a lot of trouble for you.
Hani, sweetie...
I don't know what to do without you.
You're making it more difficult for her.
You take care.
You too, come and visit me.
Let's go now.
Yes, Dad.
Bye now.
Okay, it's goodbye then.
Put the seatbelt on.
Hani...
Yes! I got my room back.
Eunjo!
Mom, what about breakfast?
It's all your fault, Seungjo!
PLAYFUL KISS
Are you okay?
Is everything fine for you?
I really gave up on him.
Do you want to have a bet?
You and Hani as a team.
What?
Do you know how hard I'm trying to give up?
She's strange.
Remember that. I'm like home.
Whenever you come back, I'm there.
You must have noticed, I'm interested in him.
I like you.
How about you?
Goodbye, Seungjo.
PLAYFUL KISS
