What should have been the happiest moment
became a piercing wound.


With UBS News, I'm Baek Yi-jin.

I'm so glad that he took her side.

What is it?

EPISODE 8

Gosh, you startled me.

Why are you watching that old news?

Grandma. It must have been tough
for you back then.

What is?

So, I was looking through some things

and found out
that Mom went through a dispute

for her medal at the Asian Games.

I saw you on the news

referring to her medal
as "a stolen gold medal."

But you were not only a mom

but also a news anchor.

That must have been heartbreaking.

Gosh.

Your mom could not get
what a 15-year-old you can understand.

She just doesn't even try to be
in other people's shoes.

I know.

It's not like
I wanted to read that line on the news.

Do you know how I felt
having to att*ck my daughter?

That was the day

when I regretted my career
as a news anchor for the first time.

I totally understand.

How did Hee-do end up
with such a smart daughter like you?

But my mom is from you, Grandma.

I love you, Min-chae.

I love you, Yi-jin.

Please remember this moment.

I love you so much.

What?

I love you too, Da-eun.

You loved Da-eun a lot.

Why on earth are you listening to this?

So to explain what had happened,
Hee-do was in the broadcasting room...

It's all because
you had suddenly disappeared.

Hey.

Stop talking to him so casually.
I feel uncomfortable.

Let me use the restroom.

Thank you all for coming to save me.

You startled me!

Same here. I wasn't expecting
to find you here in the men's room.

Sorry.

Hee-do.

Do you carry this with you?

My dad advised me to.

He said a gentleman
should carry a handkerchief.

Thanks.

But aren't you supposed
to be in Gyeongju?

I got kicked out from the NTC.

I was told to stay at home
until I'm disciplined.

This is your home?

I have to see Mom if I go home.

I don't want to.

Then were you going to
stay the night here?

Why are you so reckless—

Will you stop it?

You nag when you're with me

but you interviewed the referee
and aired it on the news.

What you're doing doesn't add up.

Thank you.

You don't need to thank me.

I would have done the same for anyone.

So? I know that.

But still...

you did that for me.

Gosh Hee-do. Stop worrying me.

Isn't she scared?

How did she think of sleeping here?

That's how you have to think
if you want to win the gold medal.

I guess she was too busy fencing
to know about the toilet ghost.

The toilet ghost?

I heard about this from my band member.

Every midnight, there's a sound of
someone crying on the fourth floor,

inside the far-end toilet.

And if you go closer
to check who is inside,

a pale hand would appear under the door
and grab your ankle like this!

That's such a cliché horror story.

No wonder it didn't sell.

True. You didn't know about it.

But Seung-wan.

What?

Now...

it's midnight.

What happened?

Nothing!

Then what's with the running?

Because it's scary!

This is so exhausting.

CLASS 1 KIM DA-EUN
CLASS 4 JUNG DA-EUN

I love you too, Da-eun.

PARK DA-EUN

So that's her.

BAEK YI-JIN

They're like birds of a feather
flocking together.

This is her.

Park Da-eun.

Why did she put her hair down like that?

I have no idea what I'm doing now.

But one thing is for sure,

I'm so very annoyed.

I dated only for two weeks,
where all I got to do was to use nicknames


and even was mocked by Yi-jin for that.

Fine!

He's been deeply in love before,
so I guess he just couldn't help himself.


"I love you too, Da-eun"?

I love you too, Da-eun.

This is frustrating. I'm so upset!

It looks pretty good.

HOW ANNOYING!

Chairman Baek's eldest son?

Yes, sir.

How have you been?

You've come to
a creditor's house on your own?

I wanted to give you this.

I got a job and saved up a little.

I know this is nothing
compared to what my dad owes you,

but this is straight from the heart,

so please add this
to your daughter's tuition.

I'm sorry.

I'll get going now.

You made a promise.

You said you will never be happy,
not even for a moment.

Don't keep that promise.

It had been weighing on my mind.

I acted out on you despite
all of this not being your fault.

As a parent with a child,
I shouldn't have done that.

But that was all I could do at the time.

I understand.

It can be difficult, but do your best...

to find happiness.

My daughter's got a scholarship.

I will try.

What is this?

I got paid.

Oh my gosh. This is beef!

Why did you buy something so expensive?

I wanted to thank you
for the side dishes.

You are such
a decent and pleasant eldest son.

I'm sure your father misses you a lot.

I want to be successful
and bring my family back together.

What?

Mom, don't let him in here from now on.

Why is she so upset?

Yu-rim,

I got your favorite. Here.

POWDERED CANDY

I quit this in junior high.

I'm not a kid anymore.

That's right.

She was a kid,
but she will turn 20 next year.

You must be hungry.
Sit down for some tteokbokki.

I heard you got kicked out from the NTC.

Did you hear that from Hee-do too?

Why do you hear about
everything from her?

You should at least cut her some slack.

The entire world is
coming at Hee-do to pick on her.

I made a complaint

because I really was faster than her.

I had no idea
that she would be criticized by everyone

because I complained
and was in distress.

I just did what I could as an athlete.

I had never imagined
that kind of response.

That means you have way more people

rooting for you than you think.

And if that leads to blaming someone,

I don't need that kind of support.

You don't get to decide that.

That's the life of a star.

What do you mean by "a star"?
I'm just an athlete.

You don't get to decide on that, either.
What you can decide is...

Let's see. Right.

Whether you are going to eat
this tteokbokki or not. That's about it.

Are you trying to say
that life doesn't go the way we want?

Look at me.

I've become a reporter out of the blue.

So, where do you stay now?

I'm at a small studio in front of UBS.

But I'm moving this weekend.
You're going to help me, right?

Where are you moving to?

He's moving back? To here?

He asked if the room
was still available.

So I told him to come right away.

I heard he is now a TV reporter.

Auntie, thanks for everything.

And take care, Seung-wan.

Is this the only room
available in Seoul?

Why would he insist on coming here?

I guess he liked this place.

The landlord is generous,
the house is in great condition,

and it's close to the TV station.

There's no reason to stop him.

And not many tenants keep the room
as tidy as he can.

- But Auntie!
- Gosh, you startled me.

How could you decide on that
without consulting me first?

Can I stay at your place
until I graduate?

Gosh. Gossip about us
will spread like wildfire then.

People have been
gossiping about us for ten years.

It's about time
people talk of us living together.

It's fun to be at the center
of a gossip, but not now.

That could upset Yu-rim.

So there's something between you two?

Have you asked her out?

My heart is
about to burst at the phrase "ask out."

Your heart is here.

- What should I do?
- What?

In my mind, I asked her out,
got rejected, cried at home

and yelled at my mom

when she asked me to come eat.

Isn't this sad?

I can't stop myself from crying.

You're crazy.

Just worry about the moving day.

- What are we going to do?
- Thanks. Bye!

Who's moving?

Hi, Hee-do.

Hey, you can have one each.

Eat up now and give me the wrapper.

I'll throw it away.

I think she's after the stickers.

Geez. You're nuts.

Why would an Asian Games gold medalist
collect stickers?

Don't be ridiculous.

She's not in grade school
but an adult next year. What nonsense.

Oh my gosh! This is just so cute!

Note to self. Don't rush to conclusions!

You have to collect them
when they are this cute.

Here you go.

Hey, what was that about moving?
Are you moving?

Yi-jin is moving back in.

What? Baek to Seung-wan's?

- When?
- This Saturday.

Hey, let's study at the library
on that day.

What should I do then?

Aren't you going to help him move?

Seung-wan, he is your senior
from the broadcasting club.

He is also my senior from the band.

I couldn't have known about it.
It's your fault, Hee-do.

Guys, then we should
definitely help him.

Wouldn't that put your mind at ease?

Count me in.

- I can come and help too.
- Well...

I guess you're right.

Sir, welcome back!

- Welcome!
- Welcome!

- What is this?
- A gift.

How did you find out about this?

They asked me to help you move in.

- That's what you said.
- That's what you said.

When did I say that?

I see. So you two didn't want to help,
but were forced to come?

That's not it. So where is Da-eun?

Hey, Yu-rim.

Are you also here to help him?

Yes.

Should I go, or should you?

We shouldn't really be in the same room.

I'm not leaving.

I'm here to help.

Fine then. I'm not leaving either.

Where should we start?

Metallica. This is a great album.

This one is by Judas Priest.

He even has Black Sabbath's album.
Geez. He was tough.

Way to go! The 14th year guitarist
for The Jungle Prince.

But isn't hip-hop
the mainstream nowadays?

I guess he is too old-fashioned
to listen to modern music.

Hey, you can't call
music these days as music.

Still, I like hip-hop more than rock.

- I agree. Hip-hop is better.
- What?

Wait, who is that from Unplugged Boy?

That guy Hyeon-gyeom. He says,

- "I dance hip-hop when I'm sad."
- "I dance hip-hop when I'm sad."

- You know this?
- Of course!

Who is this Hyeon-gyeom...

And who do we have here?

"I love you too, Da-eun."

Right. She must be Da-eun.

No, that's Min-young.

- What?
- What?

That's Min-young.

She was Yi-jin's girlfriend
for the longest time.

He was with Da-eun only briefly.

Yet they loved each other that much?

How do you all know about Da-eun?

I'm so glad that you now have a job.

When everyone found out
you didn't pass the interview,

we were really worried about you.

This is somewhat a glorious return!

He's a ladies' man.

- It's good to see you back.
- Take care.

- See you around.
- Please get home safely.

Wait, I'm sending that to my grandma's.

I wonder how many ladies you have
in that neighborhood.

How does it feel
to be surrounded by women all the time?

What are you on about?

Because of them?

You account for


It's because you let everyone know
that I didn't pass the interview.

If I account for 80 percent,
what about the remaining 20?

Do you even have to ask?
It's standing right in front of you.

He's annoying.

Did you take the tape? The sticky one.

- The sticky one?
- Yes.

I have it right here.

It's perfect.

When was this from...

What's her problem?

Hello. I thought
you weren't on the news today.

I have something else.

Hey, aren't you on the Gyeongju team?
Why do I keep seeing you in Seoul?

No, I'm on the Seoul team.

I went down to set up interviews
with the athletes,

then I got back late
because of the fencing controversy.

I heard that
Yi-jin is now on the Seoul team.

You saw him. He needs some guidance.

He's a loose cannon.

In a good way or a bad way?

It goes both ways I'd say.

Take care.

Bye, ma'am.

I doubt you came
all the way here to see me.

Of course not.

They want a copy of my bankbook
to pay me for my work.

I do have something to give you.

Let's sit down.

How did he tie this so tightly?

Can you pass me the scissors?

Can't one of you just go home?

It's awkward to be here.

She's right.
Hee-do, I think you've done enough.

Since when have you two
been on bad terms?

Is this because of what happened?

You're the one making things awkward.

What? He's even got this.

Wait, what was that called?

- It's an arm exerciser.
- Right!

Gosh, this is really hard to do.

Someone like you would only end up
hurting your shoulders. Be careful.

You use the muscles
you're born with to do this.

I bet I can do more than you.

Ji-woong, I'm an athlete
who is on the national team.

Haven't you seen me on TV?

Bring it over here.

Hold it like this.

One, two, three, four,

- five...
- Five...

six, seven, eight, nine,

ten, eleven, twelve,

thirteen...

fourteen, fifteen,

sixteen...

The look on my face right now...

Guys, you said you came to help me.

I never asked for any of your help,

but you all came anyway!

I'm sorry. I'll clean this up.

Hey, don't move.

You could get hurt.

Let me hold you for a second.

Stay here.

Yi-jin, what about me?

What was that sound?

Oh my gosh! How did this happen?

Mom, it was me. I broke it.

- Thank you for the meal!
- Thank you for the meal!

Gosh, it's hot.

All of you can go after having this.

The window will be fixed tomorrow,
so please bear with it for a while.

Okay.

Is that for me?

That was the only paper large enough
to cover the window.

Enjoy your meal, Yu-rim.

Same to you.

Thanks.

Hee-do, why do you look
so absent-minded?

- Me?
- Did that arm exerciser blow your mind?

No, nothing.

Let me hold you for a second.

Please remember this moment.

I love you so much.

I love you too, Da-eun.

No, that's Min-young.

She was Yi-jin's girlfriend
for the longest time.

- This is just so annoying!
- What is so annoying?

When did you get back?

Did you buy all this
just to collect that?

You're wrong.

When are you going
to stop acting stupid?

I figured you were avoiding it,

so I didn't want to bring it up.

But have you reflected on your attitude
at the press conference?

You're a gold medalist, so act like one.

So are you acknowledging
that I'm a gold medalist?

I thought it was "a stolen gold medal."

You said so yourself on the news.

What are you getting at?

Should I have sided with you
since you're my daughter?

What do you think the news is?

When you read that line...

did you at least feel
a little sorry for me?

What difference would that make?

I don't apologize
for things being the way they are.

There is always a victim to
every news I cover.

Then should I be
going around apologizing?

I've decided not to
feel sorry for anyone,

and I'm not making an exception.

Is that so? All right.

Good for you. It's great
that you don't make any exceptions.

What do you want me to do?

You don't want to do anything.

So let's stay out
of each other's business.

Whether I do something stupid or not

has nothing to do with you
and your news.

The gold medal your daughter threw away.

I got it from the Federation.

I thought you should give it to her.

Why did you think that?

You said on the news yourself
that it's "a stolen gold medal."

That's that, but you should
offer an olive branch to your daughter.

Give it to her in person.

I can relate to
what Hee-do must be going through.

I was once betrayed by a trusted friend.

The national team coach Ms. Yang Chan-mi

bought this car
from an athlete, Mr. Kim's father.


It costs more than 3 million won
in the used car market.


But Coach Yang bought the car
for 1,5 million won.


She leveraged her power to select
the members of the national team


for personal gain.

Nice work, Jae-kyung.

Thank you.

But didn't you say
you were close to Coach Yang?

This story is for a minute and a half,

so we'll show the scene from the match,
then the interview for 20 seconds.

Excuse me.

Baek Yi-jin speaking.

Yi-jin, are you in the Jongno area?

Yes, sir. I just interviewed
Yeo Hong-chul's parents and...

Go to the Central Government Building
right now. There's a fire.


Check if it is arson
and get a phone ready.


- Yes, sir.
- This will be on the main news.

Yes, sir.

We have to
get to the Central Government Building.

Okay.

A fire broke out.

I know it's temporary,
but still, I'm in the sports dept.

As you know,
a fire can break out anywhere.

This time, it happened to be at the MOU.

Are you saying this
isn't an arson att*ck?

Like I said, there are no signs so far.

The fire was at the MOU, which stores
a lot of important files on North Korea.

Did anything get destroyed?

We back up the important files,
so that won't be the case.

But do you know
that the fire spread to the press room?

Phones are unavailable.

Hurry up!

What time will you give us
an update on the investigation?

Within an hour.

But sir, don't you need to find a phone?

I already have one.

Gosh. How did I come up with
such a great idea!

All right.

Let's get ready.

Yes, the fire broke out
around 6:20 p.m...

INCOMING CALL

Baek Yi-jin speaking.

Do you have a phone?

Yes, sir. Of course.

Yes, sir. I'll be on standby.

Our next news.

This afternoon, a fire broke out
at the government building on Sejong-ro.


Fortunately, there were no casualties,

but the fire alarm did not work and
it could have led to a huge catastrophe.


We'll hear the details,
live from the scene.


Baek Yi-jin reports.

Yes, the fire broke out around 6:20 p.m.

The fire started from the MOU
on the fourth floor...

Yes, please continue.

Reporter Baek Yi-jin?

Yes. It seems we have an issue
with the phone connection.


According to the investigations,

it is suspected the fire started
due to an overheated electrical fan.


We'll report further on this
once we have more details.


Our next news.

INCOMING CALL

Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

- Great work, everyone.
- Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

There wasn't a connection issue.
You hung up, right?

I had the news typed up on my laptop,

but then a blue screen error...

So a reporter hangs up the phone
during live news?

I thought that was the best option.

My mind went blank.

How can a reporter
not be fully aware of his own story?

If you're dumb, you should have
had it printed but you didn't.

Then are you at least quick
on your feet? No, you're not.

What qualities do you
have as a reporter?

I'm sorry.

I saw you on TV earlier.

Cheer up.

By the way, don't throw away
the stickers. Keep them for me.


Hee-do.

This is so humiliating.

ELEPHANT SNACKS

- I'm home.
- You're back.

Hurry, sit down and eat.

This looks tasty.

Did you bring your glove?
You said there's a hole in it.

Right, I have it here.

Let me take a look.

Here, and here.

Gosh. I darned this for the third time,
but it keeps getting worn out.

How about a new glove?

What time do you get off tomorrow?
Let's go and buy one.

No, that's a waste.
I can wear it after you darn it.

And tomorrow,

I have to be
at the disciplinary committee.

Oh, is that tomorrow?

All right.

Oh dear!

Did you stand surety
for that rice cake shop

when they had to buy a new machine?

Yes. Why?

Goodness.

It's terrible!

The owners of the shop
fled into the night!

What are you talking about?
I saw them yesterday.

I couldn't get in touch with them
this morning,

so I went to the shop and found out
that it was completely empty.

They had planned this all along!

Then what about the money
we've been saving?

Gosh. They took all of it!

- That can't be.
- Oh dear, wait!

Wait. I'm coming too.

Wait for me!

- Oh my gosh.
- What about my money!

- My money!
- Where are they?

- Where is she!
- Where's that wench!

- All the money's gone!
- My money!

- They're gone!
- Oh my goodness!

You rotten fools!
Do you know what that money was for?

It was for my child's wedding, damn it!

What should I do?

- Oh no!
- Goodness me.

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.

At least, you have a daughter
who wins gold medals.

What about us! What should we do?

- Please calm down.
- What should we do?

- This can't be happening!
- No!

Oh, you poor thing.

My goodness. What are we going to do!

- Mom?
- Yes?

- What's going on?
- What?

Oh, it's nothing.

Let's go.

- What should we do?
- Where are you going?

- Oh dear!
- They took everything!

- We have to find them!
- Give our money back!

BANKBOOK

Ko Yu-rim and Na Hee-do
from Tae Yang High School fencing team

have degraded the dignity of an athlete
and destroyed the name of Korea's fencing

at the press conference
after the Asian Games fencing finals.

Therefore, severe punishment
should be imposed.

However, in consideration of
the achievements in international games,

which have contributed to
the development of Korea's fencing,

they will be suspended for three months.

DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE

Any objections?

No, sir.

Go and move out from
the NTC immediately.

I'll make sure this never happens again.
I'm sorry.

We are throwing our weight behind you,

yet you lose a gold medal
and get yourself into trouble.

If you continue like this,
you won't be a star fencer anymore.

We only need one fencing star,

do you understand?

I'll do my best.

You should get going.

I have a question.

It's about the pension I'm receiving.

Would it be possible
to receive it in advance?

An advance on your pension?

Do you think that makes sense?

Gosh. How nice would it be
if you were from a well-off family?

I can ask,

but it's highly unlikely,
so don't get your hopes up.

Gosh.

Who could it be?

Everyone should be in Gyeongju now.

Ko Yu-rim?

What should I do!

- Oh no!
- Goodness me.

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.

- Oh dear!
- My money!

What is she doing?

Yu-rim...

What has she been up to?

She cried.

I saw her cry.

I wonder what tragic circumstances
she has to endure.


I hated her so much...

but now I feel confused.

I hope she knows
that you feel this way about her.


Then she wouldn't feel so lonely.

Are you also going through
a rough patch?


It just sounds like you're.

How about...

we meet up?

INJEOLMI: HOW ABOUT WE MEET UP?

How does it feel like to get kicked out?

Lessons come at a price,

but it came with a very high price
to pay this time, girls.

How long are you banned?

For three months.

They still want you
for the next international match.

They want their medals.

Train as usual for the three months.
Do you understand?

- Yes, Coach.
- Yes, Coach.

You can go now.

Hee-do, I need to have a word with you.

Hee-do, do you know
Reporter Baek Yi-jin?

- Yes.
- How do you know him?

Are you two close?

I've known him
since before he became a reporter.

I don't care since when.

Don't be too close to
someone who became a reporter.


This is my advice as a fencer.

Yes, this is Baek Yi-jin.

Yes, I put that on hold,

because you wanted to see how
the match goes next week.

Yes. I've already got
the sh**ting agreement signed.

Yes, I've sent the news
to the editor this morning.

Yes, understood.

He is such a grown-up.

This station is
Seon Jung Girls' High School.


Hey, Hee-do!

Geez. What a coincidence!

On your way back from school?

Yes. What about you?

I'm coming back from an interview.

Right. I have something for you.
Give me your hand.

Here.

Three...

four...

Thanks for the snack.

You didn't have to carry them with you.

In case we meet like this.

But this is so weird.

I was thinking about you.

- About me?
- Yes.

Why?

Look.

TEENAGERS ADDICTED
TO ONLINE CHAT ROOMS CAN NOT SPELL

- Why you little...
- Hey.

Do not "distrub."

- I'll get going.
- Hey.

We go the same way.
Why would you go alone?

It's not like there's anything
special between us.

We have a debtor-creditor relationship.

What is that?

You owe me 2,000 won.

That makes you a debtor. Got it?

Get me ice cream. It's hot today.

AHYEON SUPERMARKET

Now you owe me 1,000 won.

Here. Let me pay you back.

No thanks.
Get me ice cream again next time.

Take it.

You can buy one with this next time.

Why are you acting so different today?
This isn't like you.

Nothing.

That jerk is crazy
to drive like that in an alley.

Are you okay?

What?

Yes.

Do I have ice cream on my face?

Hold on to this.

Let me take a look.

So what's going on with you today?
You haven't answered my question yet.

Nothing.

Everything's the same.

That's good to know then.

Right.

That handkerchief you lent me earlier...
I'll wash it and get it back to you.

I forgot.

Sure. You can get it
back to me any time.

Why are you smiling?

Because I'm happy to see you.

This is me. Bye.

All right. Bye.

What is this?

Hey!

We meet again.

- Do you enjoy toying with me?
- What?

Is it fun for you to play me for a fool?

Why did you pull this prank? I'm upset!

Sorry, it was just for a laugh.

None of this is funny to me.

Do you think I'm in grade school
to laugh at a prank like this?

Right. You're an adult.
So to you, I'm still a kid.

You're smart. You read newspapers.

You work like a grown-up,
speaking on the phone using jargon.

But yes, I collect stickers!

I'm not as smart as you

and I've never been in true love
like you have.

All I know is how to fence. I know that!

But still, I don't want you treating me
like some young, dumb, funny kid.

I hate it.

Listen, Hee-do.

It feels like we're growing apart.

I can feel your world
and my world becoming distant.


You're so much ahead of me, and I'm...

Somehow, I feel like
I'm lagging far behind.


We'll hear the details,
live from the scene.


Baek Yi-jin reports.

Yes, the fire broke out around 6:20 p.m.

The fire started from the MOU
on the fourth floor...


Yes, please continue.

Reporter Baek Yi-jin?

Yes. It seems we have an issue
with the phone connection.


Oh no.

Your mistakes weren't small blunders,
but much more serious.


So I couldn't tease you about them...

Was that an accident yesterday?

The phone got cut off
on a live broadcast.

He was reading off his laptop
then it shut down.

Rather than stuttering
and making the news a joke,

he simply hung up
as if there was a connection issue.

That was a good call in a split second.

And in a way,

you took the credit for those mistakes.

Whereas my mistake

had thrown me into an abyss.

I know what this feeling is.

I'm jealous of you.

I went too far.

I'm sorry for upsetting you.

There you go.

She should be properly dressed
since you two are living together.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED
DUE TO SOURCING ISSUES

Hi, Yu-rim.

Are you coming back from your training?

- Where are you going?
- To band practice for the festival.

By the way,
is something going on at home?

Did something happen to your clothes?

This? I'm into hip-hop these days.

I think we have similar tastes.

We like the same things.

I was saying that if I had to choose,
hip-hop was better than rock.

Really?

Then what is your favorite?

Let's see. Toy,

Lee Juck, Kim Dong-ryul?

That's your type? The highly educated.

You thought my taste
in music sucked just now.

Even today this rain continues

What are you talking about?
I like them a lot.

ELEPHANT SNACKS

But is something wrong?

I've never seen the shop closed before.

To be honest,

I wanted to get in touch with you
a few days ago.

When I'm with you, it feels like
everything is going to be fine.

So I wanted to see you,
but I couldn't reach out.

Why?

Well...

I guess I didn't want to show you
that side of me.

Come on.

Can't you see
I'm wearing my heart on my sleeves?

I'm upset. I'm going.

All right, I won't.

I won't hesitate next time.

It's a promise.

On that note,
what are you doing tomorrow?

Oh, I have this
important thing tomorrow.

Very important.

- Thank you for the camera.
- Why do you need it for?

I'm meeting someone today,
and I want to take a picture together.

- A guy?
- I don't know.

What? Who are you meeting?

I'm meeting up with
a friend I met online.

So you're going to meet someone
whose identity isn't verified?

But you're Ko Yu-rim.

That doesn't matter.
You don't know how much we've talked.

Are you going to go even if I stop you?

Yes. Bye!

Wait. I'm coming with you.

Why would you come with me?

I'll leave once I know
that person is safe to be with.

So you wait here for me.

- Wait, okay?
- But...

You just stay put.

All right. Then hurry up!

One yellow rose, please.

Sure. Just a moment, please.

Marronnier Park at 11 a.m.
Let's be there with a yellow rose.


That's how we'll find each other.

"Marronnier Park, 11 a.m."

"A yellow rose."

Thank you.

Bye.

You've been friends for three years,

yet you don't know their gender,
name, or age? That's absurd.

I suggested it. I didn't want them
to know that I'm Ko Yu-rim.

You're thinking like a true celebrity.

The less you know about the person,
the deeper the conversation gets.

Just keep quiet if you don't know.

Why would I have tagged along then?

No way.

What is?

This is insane.

What's insane?

Tell me.

Hey.

Hey, Yu-rim!

Where are you going?

What's with her?

Baek Yi-jin.

Injeolmi is...

Baek Yi-jin?

Everything is now making perfect sense.

I wasn't jealous of you.

I was upset
that I might not be good enough for you.


- Hee-do.
- Injeolmi.

No.

Yi-jin.

Our talks comforted me
through countless nights.


If that is you,
then I'm more than qualified.


I...

have to have you.

TWENTY FIVE, TWENTY ONE



Say that again.

You're Injeolmi?

Don't you have any faith in me?

What am I to you?

- Come out.
- Did you tell Na Hee-do everything?


You helped me
get back on my feet numerous times.


You should take on the responsibility.

It's going to be the two of us
in that vast space. Isn't that romantic?


I'm not disappointed
that you're Injeolmi.


I don't need a rainbow.
