(A Piece of Your Mind)
I need you to do something for me.
You just...
have to go...
back and forth so I can see you.
The thing you said you liked looking at...
You don't mean...
Me?
I can't say exactly what this feeling is.
But...
I need you.
Can you stay?
Please stay.
(A Piece of Your Mind)
I have to stay.
So what? Why are you complaining to me?
Hey. I'll call you back in five minutes.
Where are you going?
- I need to go. - Look how you're dressed.
You're right. Not now.
Hey. Snap out of it.
Hey. Girls keep hitting on me like crazy lately.
That was a coworker just now that everyone says is pretty.
She calls when she's drunk and flirts like crazy.
Why is this happening to me lately?
No one liked me in college.
That's right.
This is so disturbing.
Should I answer this or not?
You say she's a coworker, so answer it.
If anything happens later, it's all your fault.
Then don't answer it.
Who was it, that you had to take it outside?
Well... So...
Seo Woo ran out like a crazy girl.
I stopped her and sent her home.
What got into her in the middle of the night?
I should stay for him.
How do I do that?
Seo Woo.
Seo Woo!
Han Seo Woo!
Seo Woo!
Eun Joo.
Let me see.
Come over here.
Don't get any stupid ideas.
What do you mean?
I heard you ran around like a crazy girl.
I did not.
Don't think about doing something rash again.
What?
I won't. Come on.
I get so nervous this time of year, with your suicidal thoughts.
That's not it.
I'm so sick of it.
Get your head on straight, got it?
Seo Woo. A bunch of young kids came today,
taking pictures and traveling.
It looked nice.
You should date too.
I don't know where my own things are.
Should I bring it to you?
No, I'll go down.
Level B-3.
I'm here.
Go to C48.
I want to play this for you,
Mom,
Dad.
When will you be done with work?
(When will you be done with work?)
You're okay, right?
I texted just because.
"How are you? Isn't the weather nice?"
I like it when I get random texts like that.
I feel cared for.
I'm okay.
I just saw something I like looking at,
so I'm in a very good mood.
I got my hopes up for nothing.
I'm working on what to do to make it feel like...
I'm "staying" with you.
That's why I'm texting you for no reason.
Do you need anything right now?
(Before Dawn)
You usually have your head on the table when you're in the studio,
so maybe a cushion?
Or slippers.
I'm sure you need something.
I'm okay.
Guess what you often say like a habit.
A habit?
What is it?
"I want people to hear it."
Keep the door open so more people can hear it.
This is the last song we recorded here.
"I want people to hear it."
I want to play this for you.
Mr. Kang.
About the house concert, I think it was booked a long time ago.
- You remember, right? - I forgot about it.
I thought so.
The rehearsal is today.
If you can't make it, let them know in advance.
Soon Ho, didn't you say you were a gardener?
Yes, and I still am.
How do you throw out plants?
Why are you throwing them out?
- Because they're dead. - I see.
Can you send me pictures of them?
I'll check the state they're in.
(Mr. Kang)
Oh, gosh.
None of them are dead.
They're dead.
If you can't keep them,
will you send them to my farm?
- Are they in your balcony? - Yes.
The eucalyptus is missing.
The one you bought for your wife that time.
Eucalyptus...
What does it look like again?
We have the same one in our studio.
Seo Woo got it as a gift.
It was neglected and almost died,
but I saved it. Hold on.
Who...
gave it to Seo Woo?
I didn't ask her.
Ji Soo went to the studio...
and gave the plant to Han Seo Woo.
(Moon Soon Ho)
What's with the two of them?
The weather is so nice.
I hate it.
She threw...
the plant away.
I want to play it for you.
(Gangwon Province Harmony with Nature)
(Express Bus Timetable)
As you can see, the buildings are still ablaze...
as if they had been bombed.
Do you want to go to your house with me?
No.
I won't go.
I don't think I can.
Is it like history taking?
It's different.
You can ask more casually.
I can find its point of reaction right away.
Hold on.
Ms. Kim Min Jung.
I know you'll react right away...
if I talk about your daughter.
Where are you?
You're where?
This is where I need to stay for you.
It's a huge improvement that you went to the bus terminal.
You said you hadn't gone since.
Right.
I can go with you.
It's okay.
I talked so big to my mom...
that I'd bring her what I recorded.
She always asked me when I was going to,
saying she'd listen to it 1,000 times if I did.
Once my gift is ready,
I'll decide whether or not to go.
Let me hear what you recorded.
I'll pick the best one for you.
Would you know if you heard?
You'll be shocked.
This one is...
Brahms.
"Cello Sonata..."
"Number Two."
- What's next? - Next one is...
It's not very good.
He's a great pianist,
but he's in a slump these days.
He played this when he was slumping. You can tell?
I have no choice.
I'll have to show you my skills.
Do you play an instrument?
My mom was a piano teacher.
So you learned.
I told her that I liked listening, but hated playing,
so she didn't teach me.
I learned a little from watching, that's all.
Just wait and see.
I'll come with my recording gear next time.
I can't wait.
You look like you slept a bit,
or maybe not.
Once everything is resolved,
you'll be able to sleep.
Your body will send a signal.
"It's all good now. The complicated things are over."
Then you'll fall asleep.
Losing someone next to you.
It's tough every time you experience it.
But if you have someone, you're bound to lose them.
And you need a way to endure it each time.
What was your way?
Well, for me,
I just needed one person who understood.
"I'm struggling. I'm lonely. Help me."
The one person who would listen every time...
if I tell them right away without hiding it.
Who was it until now?
Eun Joo.
But she's starting to get exhausted recently.
But then again, it's been a long time.
One percent.
And one person.
That's all you need.
You left all your stuff at the studio.
That's right. I only brought my phone.
Let me go with you. I left something there too.
Like your heart?
My bicycle.
Oh, I see.
I'm slightly concerned...
about what I should do to stay with you.
How were the texts?
Did it make you feel like someone was with you?
It did for me.
It's not that I want someone physically next to me,
but more like in the air around me,
warming my surroundings.
Your texts are effective.
That's good to hear.
I'll go inside then.
Bye.
- My bicycle. - Oh, right.
Your bicycle.
What's this?
What...
What are these?
He is so silly.
They're pretty. I love them.
Darn, he's so distracting.
In Wook, will you let me work?
I'll leave a little while later.
I can stop thinking when I'm here.
I see. Stay here then.
Eat and sleep here.
Don't think. That's the worst.
They can make...
your brain and heart rot away.
All right.
Jin Moo.
It's just a single plant,
but I feel like I'm being laid bare.
(Eunjoo Homestay)
Seo Woo.
I wasn't late yesterday.
Open the door!
Hurry up.
Take this.
Gosh.
I'm so tired.
Hey, your face isn't covered.
Cover it back. This memorial isn't for you.
Whatever, it's fine.
No, cover it with something. Anything is fine.
Do it already.
There you go. Good job.
Let's bow.
Ma'am, Seo Woo is staying in the semi-basement...
because she wants to.
I just can't change her mind.
So don't be disappointed in me.
It's good now.
If I don't say this, it makes me feel uneasy all year round.
You aren't exhausted yet.
What are you saying?
What about Chang Sup? Did he not come home again last night?
No. I guess he's very busy.
He doesn't usually pull all-nighters.
Maybe things are unusual right now.
Thanks.
How much must I talk with it to find its point of reaction?
I haven't talked to someone for this long...
since my boyfriend when I was 22. I was up all night.
It depends.
I'm sure...
her daughter is the point of reaction, but it's not responding.
Or it could be something unexpected.
No, I'm 100 percent sure it's her.
She had leukemia.
When she knew she was terminally ill, she called me...
and made an appointment for her mom.
In case my mom does something rash.
She's very weak emotionally.
Please see her at least once a week.
You are...
very sweet.
I envy your mom.
But Kim Min Jung never talks about her daughter.
It would be healthier for her if she did.
Her daughter did the right thing.
Things could've been bad if she was left alone.
"I'm struggling. I'm lonely. Help me."
The one person who would listen every time...
if I tell them right away without hiding it.
She vents, which means she has the will to live.
If she didn't have that will, she wouldn't talk at all.
People should listen to each other and help each other out.
Gosh, what in the world must I say...
for Kim Min Jung to come out?
This is so difficult.
(General Ward A)
Ms. Kim Min Jung.
You may go in now.
- It smells like food in here. - Sorry.
I had to eat in my office...
because I'm working on a paper.
I'm sorry.
- Here. - Thank you.
What happened to the address? Are you moving?
I plan to.
You didn't tell me.
Eunjoo Homestay? That's it?
- Do you know them? - How would I?
I need the address.
I won't stop communication and disappear.
How can I trust you?
Anyway,
send me the address sometime today.
Okay.
What shall we chat about today?
Doctor. Your teeth.
- Sorry. Did something get stuck? - What did you eat?
I wondered how you were doing,
as well as the babies in the balcony.
If you don't mind,
should I take all the babies in the balcony?
It's more depressing if your plants are dying.
It's okay.
Just throw them out.
Leave them out front, and I'll raise them.
The performer is in a slump and holed up at home,
and his plants are dying.
To be honest, I don't know how to help someone get out of a slump.
I've never seen it before.
But I know exactly how to save plants from dying.
At least one of you should live.
- I'll take care of... - You won't take care of it.
All you do is run away.
- Are you ready? - Let's go.
I'm ready to go.
She's close to my wife.
I don't want her saying things.
Are you actually married?
There's the balcony.
Shall we begin?
Are you ready?
My gosh.
I never said I was good.
- I guess not. - Did you not like it?
Want to try one more time?
No. Mix it nicely and make it sound good.
I don't know if I'm that good.
Where to?
One to Yangnyang please.
Okay. Yangnyang.
Have a nice trip.
I recorded this.
I'm doing well.
Don't worry about me.
I'm home.
Mom.
Dad.
You mixed it nicely.
I wanted you to stay, so I should follow you around.
You came alone,
so you don't mind going back together, right?
I think this time of year will get better now.
Thank you.
Stay for dinner. I want to have the welcoming dinner now.
Are you kidding me?
What? Because I was rude to her?
We're dating, okay? Satisfied?
What's wrong with you? You're embarrassing me.
Are you embarrassed of me?
Is that why you've been so mean to me?
Why you...
I'm really sorry.
It's okay.
I made gimbap. Share with the others...
It's okay. I'm late.
What? But...
Give me a gimbap.
I'm hungry.
The doctors' lounge was my home.
When I was in my 20s?
Living in a homestay...
and hanging out in groups...
I've never experienced that.
Searching for details regarding...
- experiences... - Min Jung, stop.
How's Eunjoo Homestay?
Searching for information regarding...
- Eunjoo Homestay... - Stop the search.
Stop with Eunjoo Homestay.
I went to see Eun Joo.
Who's Eun Joo?
The owner of the homestay owner where I lived in my 20s.
She was full of energy.
I feel like seeing her will give me the strength to live.
Min Jung, is that you?
My gosh.
Why did you suddenly become Min Jung?
It's me. What's wrong with you?
Min Jung, is that you?
I told you, it is.
The person you have reached is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Seeing you...
is making me even more depressed.
Thank you.
(Eunjoo Homestay)
I'll go now.
The mattress was delivered.
I brought the sofa in by myself too.
You moved that heavy thing all by yourself?
Yes. It was really hard.
I was afraid I'd dislocate my shoulder.
You should've...
done that with me.
1, 2, 3.
Slowly.
- Here. - No, no.
In the bedroom.
- Bedroom? - 1, 2, 3.
Finally, the bedroom and living room have been differentiated.
She was critical that they weren't before.
It's the door to dreams.
The pillows are nice.
Is there food for me?
You said you don't eat breakfast.
I need to eat today.
I don't need soup.
I'll scoop the rice for you.
The person eating should scoop however much they want.
Chang Sup is late because of work,
and Jin Soo is sleeping...
I don't care.
What's your problem?
I said to call.
My bad.
Eun Joo.
I went to my hometown.
Good girl.
I've been feeling down since yesterday.
You're amazing.
Did you go by yourself?
I'm so proud of you.
I was going to eat with her because I felt sorry for her.
- I'll be home later. - Okay.
Where did she go?
I wonder if he's up.
What good babies. You grew more.
What? Yes.
You're happy to have new family members?
Hey.
I have lotion and BB cream.
- You can use them all. - Thank you.
You didn't go home?
Good for you.
The studio has no business, but good for you.
Where are the chairs?
Why would we have chairs?
Then do people listen standing up?
It's a house. They lie down.
Everyone brings a pillow.
That's why it's in a house?
You almost fooled me.
Seo Woo,
why are you in such a good mood that you're being so silly?
She's full of energy too. She's carrying everything.
I went to my hometown yesterday.
Was it a day trip?
Seo Woo...
What is it?
What is it? Why can't I be in the loop?
You got over your trauma.
What trauma?
Hey. I want in too.
You rode a bike?
You never even took it out after coming to Seoul.
I even drove too.
How far did you go?
I drove for about five hours round trip.
Why are you doing things you never did before?
That's why you passed out and slept.
You're becoming high maintenance.
You're hiding something, aren't you?
Your wife...
isn't coming.
You can't accept that.
- You're half right. - I am?
Then what is it that you can't accept?
Tell me whether or not this is the absolute worst.
That way, I can try to help.
The absolute worst...
already happened.
How much does Seo Woo know?
Why won't he pick up?
I have a bad feeling about this.
Why didn't you come in?
- You look terrible. - I'm...
just too anxious right now.
Can you try to take some deep breaths?
Take some deep breaths.
There's someone I can't see.
I want to avoid it.
At the performance?
Who? I'll get rid of them.
You look like anxiety swallowed you up.
Take deep breaths.
Come out. I'll hold you up.
Come out and try to stand.
Put your feet on the ground.
Come on.
Mr. Kang. Play with your eyes closed just for today.
Play today, and quit the piano afterward.
Your world won't fall apart even if you do.
What you're afraid of won't happen.
Just a minute, please.
Don't stress about today's recording.
Mr. Choi said not to feel pressured.
You're okay, right?
You're all set.
Hey, we need to listen to this together.
She found Kim Min Jung's point of reaction.
Play it.
Okay, I'm putting you on speaker.
It's Eunjoo Homestay. It was Eunjoo Homestay!
Eunjoo Homestay?
Awesome.
I go to work at the hotel early in the morning,
eat a light lunch...
or eat at a pretty restaurant and take a picture,
and post on my social media page around 1pm.
I call my daughter as soon as my drama ends...
and chat with her about it, then I go to bed.
That's my daily life.
How did you find the point of reaction? It's so random.
I don't think it was random.
It may be subjective, but it's connected...
to a positive self-concept.
- Positive... - It's purely personal,
everyone has a memory that activates their will,
no, a memory that keeps them living.
Something that motivates you.
Is it like the most beautiful moment in one's life?
No, it's different.
It's like the healthiest experience.
A small piece of the person.
(House Concert)
It looks nice.
It's very different.
Isn't it good?
I feel like he's back.
Is he doing well?
I guess the person he can't see didn't come.
I guess you're better.
You're completely different.
I feel extremely anxious,
but it's strange. It made something...
surface for some reason.
Maybe your confidence and anxiety are alike.
It was as good as your best performance.
I don't know what I feel.
Great job today.
In Wook is buying dinner tonight.
He looks like he had no clue.
Yes, let's go.
- What about Seo Woo? - Seo Woo!
Why are you going without me?
You should come with us.
But... I have a lot to put away. Go ahead. I'll meet you there.
Please do...
my recordings going forward.
Are you officially hiring Seo Woo?
I'll do my best.
Great work everyone.
Where did you sleep?
Where I chatted with it.
So that's the house.
That house is perfect for you. It's quantum mechanics, you know?
It really comes down to the interactions.
It meshes with you for some reason.
Something in that house having a certain mass...
It isn't an atom or a photon.
Whatever it is cuts through the air like this...
and increases the electrical energy...
in your nerve endings from zero...
to bring them to their maximum excited state.
Sure. It's the perfect situation to make things up.
"Something, somehow, for some reason..."
Why are you walking so fast?
Was I walking fast?
Yes.
I have plans.
What's the meeting about?
It's just... It's not a meeting, but it kind of is.
See you tomorrow.
I see. "Just"?
Why is he acting out of character?
Oh my gosh.
When did you come?
Just now.
But...
Were you watching the whole time?
I thought I felt eyes on me.
So this is how you look...
when you sleep well.
You always looked very irritable.
But... I'm getting a different vibe from you.
I slept well for the first time in a while.
This is how I feel.
I analyzed why I slept so well all day long.
You were tired. You drove and stuff.
It's the house.
That house is a good fit for you.
That house is perfect for you. It's quantum mechanics.
Please, anything but quantum mechanics.
Like frequencies.
Looking at quantum mechanics, it's mutual interaction.
Your special frequencies matched.
It went from here to there.
The special frequencies within that house...
were picked up by you.
Something somehow...
That's why...
you could feel me behind you.
Exactly. The house is the reason.
You're astute.
So there's something in the house that helps me sleep.
That certain something.
I should sleep there from now on.
Nice.
Did you sleep well?
I did. I slept like a log.
I think I know why.
You know how new blankets are all crinkly.
And they feel nice.
I fell right asleep.
- The blanket. - I'm positive.
I didn't get to see you sleep.
- Next time? - Sleep with me again next time.
I mean...
Is "Sleep with me" the right way to say it?
Everyone's there, so I have to go.
Are you going to the house?
I want to see if it really is the location.
I see.
You see what?
Why are you so awkward?
When I was coming here...
It's not like we made plans,
but I hoped...
you'd be here.
It was a very unfamiliar feeling, but it felt warm.
That sounds...
really nice.
(Mr. Kang In Wook)
I think he's calling to tell me to hurry up.
Excuse me.
Hello.
I'd like to listen...
to my performance at the studio.
Right now?
I left the studio.
This is...
very unusual for me.
The food is good here.
Let's drink until late...
and work in the afternoon tomorrow.
- Yes, sir. - Eat up.
It'll take 10 minutes.
It wasn't an important performance,
but it's meaningful to me.
Will 10 minutes really do?
Okay.
Mr. Kang In Wook had been in a slump all this time,
and did really well today.
He wants to listen to the recording.
I'll wait.
Kang In Wook.
It's definitely different.
Tension.
There's a tension that anxiety creates.
Anxiety created by a person I really don't want to see.
Did you see the person earlier at the recital?
No. I thought the person was there, but I was wrong.
You were anxious thinking the person was there.
I see.
Let me try to play.
You want to play right now?
I'll be done soon.
Is he playing right now?
I think he felt inspired.
Sorry.
We can listen together.
I'll text often.
You said that made you feel like I was with you.
I am helping, aren't I?
I'm helping you, but I feel like I'm the one receiving help.
Giving feels like receiving,
and receiving feels like giving.
Isn't that what it means to be together?
You are...
of great help.
I'm glad.
The more I think about it, the more I like the phrase...
"being in the air".
Staying by your side comfortably like air.
How nice is that?
Unintrusive like flowing water.
It's nice feeling like someone is by your side.
It provides a sense of security.
I can stay as much as you want.
It's not like anyone can do it.
It's only because it's me.
Why can you do it?
Because you are such and such a person,
and I am such and such a person. I think that's why it's possible.
That "such and such" is for you to fill in,
but it's like we share...
the one thing we wish others would understand.
I'll do it too.
I'll be the person who stays...
for you.
(Epilogue)
(A Piece of Your Mind)
Your hand.
Briefly and affectionately.
How does it feel to be in the studio with Kang In Wook all day long?
Eun Joo and her boyfriend broke up.
Get out.
Oh my gosh.
You're leaving anyway.
I want to settle down here.
Out of the blue?
Did my 1 percent grow to 20 percent?
Someone's hand that I want to hold.
Isn't it really nice...
to hold their hand?
Close your eyes.
