CALL IT LOVE

EPISODE 10

[thudding]

[song with female vocals playing]

SUNWOO [on phone]: Are you working?

DONGJIN: I'm in the office.

SUNWOO: She said not to tell you,
but how could I not?


CEO Shin caused some trouble.

He went to see Minyoung
about the investment funds,


and Ms. Sim got hurt.

DONGJIN: Who got hurt?

SUNWOO: Sim Woojoo.

She got hit by a rock instead of Minyoung.

I'm on my way to the hospital,
so you should come too.


[ambulance siren howling]

[heavy footsteps approaching]

Hey.

[ambulance siren howling]

SUNWOO: Hey, hey, hey, calm down!

-Let me go!
-SUNWOO: Calm down.

-Come on…
-[screams] What?

SUNWOO: We're at a hospital. Not now.

How much more should I let slide? Huh?

[yells] How much more?

I didn't want to get back at you
like you did with me.

[shouts] And I certainly didn't want
to stoop down to your level!

[panting]
That's why I didn't even deal with you.

[exhales]
But I let it slide too much, didn't I?

[yells] How could you
throw a rock at someone?

What kind of grudge
could make you do something like that?

Huh?

I have no excuses.

[seething]

[shouts] Of course you don't!

[shouts] Hey, stop it!

Just calm down!

[Dongjin breathing angrily]

SUNWOO [panting]: I'm so sorry.

[panting heavily]

[breathing exasperatedly]

Just look at his face.
Does he look like he's all there?

[breathing angrily]

SUNWOO: I'm not telling you
to let it slide forever.

Let him come to his senses,
then go pick a bone with him.

[sighs]

[breathes frustratedly]

You rushed all the way here
worrying about her,

so why waste your energy on him?

How badly is she hurt?

Thankfully, there is nothing wrong
with her eye.

But above the eyebrow here,

she got five stitches.

Go see her.

I'll take care of this.

[puffs in relief]

[sighs] Well, you were incredibly lucky.

[stomps]

[sighs exasperatedly]

You know what?

I told her to sue you for as*ault.

But Ms. Sim says she doesn't want to.

WOOJOO: I'm not going to sue him.

SUNWOO: But, why not?

[chuckles nervously]

I don't think you understand,
but you're quite hurt.

[weakly]
It's enough that he didn't run away.

I've checked everything
that I needed to check.


[distant siren blaring]

SUNWOO: She says, having seen
how you couldn't even run away


and how you were trembling
even more than her,


she could tell
that you are not a bold man.


And that you probably
couldn't even try to take revenge…

No way.

What about all those years
Dongjin and I suffered from you?

[sighs]

I don't agree with her,

but I just said okay.

So come on!

Let's just end this
cursed relationship already!

We shouldn't be
running into each other anymore!

If there's a lawsuit,
we'll have to see each other again.

[smacks lips]

Just go.

Leave now and let's never
see each other again.

[Sungman sighs, inhales]

I'm sorry.

[somber music playing]

I've been living

like a crazy person
as if I was possessed by something,

and I ended up coming this far.

I wanted to stop, but…

I didn't know what else to do with life.

[sniffling]

I'm so terribly sorry.

[sobbing]

I'm sorry.

[Sungman sniffling and whimpering]

[sobbing]

[sniffling and sobbing]

[somber music continues]

[music fades out]

[tender music playing]

[softly] Does it hurt?

Not really.

I mean, I was an athlete.

[inhaling deeply]

I didn't dodge it on purpose.

I thought this needed to happen to end it.

If it didn't,
I thought he'd cause a bigger scene.

I'm sorry.

For what?

Everything.

But…

when I said I wanted you
to live a comfortable life,

I really meant it.

I went there to tell you that.

It was my bad.

[inhales] Ms. Sim.

The rock…

It struck you in the head, right?

[sighs incredulously]

When did you learn how to joke?

I'm not joking.

You should get it checked again.

Of course, it's a joke.

Let's just…

have an ordinary conversation.

About nothing too special.

And cr*ck a few jokes too.

And stop saying sorry.

I'm sick of it.

I've said it too many times,

and I've heard it too many times.

I'm hungry.

You said we should have
an ordinary conversation.

[music fades out]

[vehicle passing by]

[slurping]

[inhales deeply]

What are you going to tell your family?

I'll just tell them that I fell.

They wouldn't really believe me,

but they'd know
that I don't want to tell them.

And that I'll tell them
when the time comes.

They'd let it slide like that.

We pretend like we don't notice things
about each other and just let it go.

[smacks lips]

It became a habit at some point,
so we don't have deep conversations.

Can I…

Can I go fetch my brother's things?

Should I just send Jigu?

You don't have to do that anymore.

Feeling people out, I mean.

If you want to come, you can come anytime.

I'll be waiting.

[bright music playing]

I'll contact you.

[Woojoo smacks lips]

[slurping]

[bright music continues]

DONGJIN: You can go.

I'll stay here.

You should go.

[music pauses]

-[music resumes]
-Stop drinking.

DONGJIN: And when you're better,

then we can go get tea
or drinks or whatever.


[phone vibrating intermittently]

SUNWOO

[vibrating stops]

[messenger vibrates briefly]

SUNWOO: Where are you? Did you go home?

[sighs]

MINYOUNG: I'm about to sleep.

SUNWOO:
You must have been shocked. Rest well.

And don't drink.

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN SHOCKED.
REST WELL. AND DON'T DRINK.

JUN: Hey, what happened to you?

What happened to your face?

I was distracted by my phone and fell.

[Jun hisses]

Man…

You fell and tore up your skin?
There's a bruise too.

Did someone hit you?

Who would hit me?

How should I know?

Come on, just let it slide.
Don't ask anymore.

[sighs]

Something definitely happened,

but you won't say anything?

It's about that guy then?

Hmm? What happened?

Did he find out who you are
and throw a rock at you or something?

He's not like that.

He's nice and gentle.

He's a good person.

Are you trying
to turn me into a walking b*mb?

Hmm?

If you keep on doing this,

there's no telling who I'll explode on.

Then don't explode.

Don't do anything, like right now.

And just wait.

I'll sort it out on my own
when the time comes.

There are just things that cannot happen!

Get a hold of yourself!

What can't happen?

Why does she need to get a hold…

What?

What's with your forehead?
Did you get hurt?

I fell.

Did you go to the hospital?

JUN: Exactly.

Go to…

Go to the hospital.

The pharmacy can't handle everything.

Okay, I'll do that.

[water pouring]

I'm sure this wasn't the context.

What is it, you two? What's the secret?

If you're curious,
ask your amazing sister.

[sighs]

[heavy footsteps]

HAESUNG: He seems angry for real.

Is it something serious?

No.

All right then.

I don't know what it is…

[chopsticks thud]

…but don't bottle it up
and make up with him soon, okay?

[knocking on door]

JUN: Aren't you going to work?

Hurry up and eat.

I'm not crossing the line
that you're thinking of.

I can't cross it.

So don't worry too much about it.

[sighs]

[gate opens]

[sighs frustratedly]

[gate shuts]

Whatever.

[contemplative music playing]

Just trust her.

You have no choice but to trust her.

[bright music playing]

[phone clatters]

DONGJIN: I'll be out on an errand.
Let's get lunch together.


[phone vibrating]

WOOJOO: It's on me.

[bright music continues]

[music fades out]

[footsteps approaching]

They're both going to be back
in the afternoon.

[sighs]

JUHO: Tell them to hurry back.

Hey, over here!

You were in a meeting,
and I was getting back from Ilsan,

and then I got a call from Ms. Baek.

She says Director Kim is in the office.

You get it?

As soon as CEO Shin
shut down the exhibition,

he apparently ran straight here.

He must have grilled him so much.
He got all his money back.

They're number one in the industry,

so the promotion will
definitely be decent.

There's no downside for us.
Honestly, it's good.

[smacks lips]

It just doesn't feel good.

[inhales]

We should take the offer, right?

Did you have lunch?

Not yet.

Then go and eat first. I have plans.

What are you talking about?

What about Director Kim?
He's been there since morning.

Let him wait.
It doesn't matter if he leaves.

Hey, Dongjin…

[heavy footsteps]

SUNWOO: Jeez.

[mellow music playing]

[breathes deeply]

[munching]

I've waited in front of
Director Kim's office for five hours once.

I just suddenly remembered that.

[inhales deeply]

I did that out of spite.

[snorts]

Is it petty?

[spoon clunks]

You have two hours and 30 minutes to go,
to make it a full five hours.

A neighborhood granny used
to say this like a broken record.

"People have to die
to experience the afterlife."

There's no way of knowing it before.

He has to experience the agony
to understand what it feels like.

Let him suffer.

So it wasn't my fault
for stupidly waiting for him?

It's definitely not your fault.

[bright music playing]

Let's have some coffee
and take a walk, too.

DONGJIN: Two iced Americanos, please.

[music fades]

You said this before.

I make it easy for them,

so I get sucker-punched.

And what else did you say?

This is why you get stabbed in the back.

You always make yourself look easy.

So why did you stupidly put up
with it for a whole year?

So what if he's handsome?

He's carrying his grim feelings
on his back.

I hate that it looks dumb.

I'm not blaming you or anything.

I just remembered that.

[inhales]

I should go now.

There's still an hour left.

This is enough. Let's go.

Don't do it if you don't want to.

I'm not telling you
to give back as much as you suffered.

Don't force yourself to do it.

Do whatever your heart tells you.

You don't have to do it
if you don't feel like it,

but if you want to, do it.

That's the right thing.

Hmm?

[frustrated breathing]

[sighs]

[scoffs] They've lost their minds.

[snorts]

Darn it.

[grumbles]

[stifled laugh]

[cackling]

Gosh, I always thought
the dormant Baekdusan Mountain

would erupt faster than you.

You b*at Baekdusan Mountain today.

-Sorry.
-Hey.

I didn't want it either.

I was just going along with it
because of you.

By the way, are you really Han Dongjin?

Do I seem different?

Yeah.

Then I guess not.

[laughing]

[Jun clears throat]

TO MS. SIM WOOJOO
TO MS. SIM HAESUNG

I see you went by the house.

It must be one of the two.

Either my son is a pushover
or the sisters have dirt on you.

Do you have to be so…

I didn't want to live alone,
so I asked them to live with me.

I tell them they don't have to,

but they insist on paying rent
and living expenses every month.

If you want me to believe
what you're saying,

then you need to answer one question.

Is it the younger one you call a friend,

or is it the older one
that you lied to us about?

Which one of the two are you seeing?

If that's not the case,
it doesn't make any sense.

That's what you think.

Don't you even think about
giving me neither as an answer.

It's neither.

Actually, I've never
thought of them like that.

To me, they're just…

They're just like air.

I can't survive without them,

and it feels natural
for them to be around.

And you probably don't know this,
but I get lonely easily.

I don't like being alone.

You can think of it like I'm suffering
from lack of affection or something.

Who do you take after
to be so sentimental about everything?

If you don't want to be alone,
get married.

Or look into going on arranged dates.

-Your sister and brother--
-You can stop there.

I completely understand
what you're trying to say,

so I'll think about it
seriously from now on.

About which one of them I like.

There's nothing more to say, right?

There's a place where they rent out
school uniforms near the subway station.

Uh, it's the weekend though.
Won't there be a lot of people?

If we dress like this and
post the pictures on our couple's account,

it'll be a total blowout.

[chuckles]

I bet it will.

Do you not want to?

What?

[stutters]

It's not that I don't want to.

I mean…

Let's do it. I think it'll be fun.

[bell chimes]

Huh?

Don't we have to go a bit further?

Let's just get off.

Huh?

[doors open]

[doors shut]

Suho.

Suho.

Are you mad at me?

I'm really not mad at you.

Can't you just tell me honestly?

You don't like theme parks.
You think they're childish, right?

[inhales deeply and sighs]

Then let's go where you want to go.

Don't pretend to
like the things that I like.

No, it's not that.

I wasn't pretending at all.

Are you angry?

Let's take the next bus and go.

Let's go and put on school uniforms.
And should we wear headbands too?

You're doing it again.
You pretend to like it.

Just stop it.

Haesung, every time you do this,

it all feels fake.

What do you mean?

[smacks lips] I don't know.
I just said that out of frustration.

But I think I do mean it.

Your laugh and happy face all seem fake.

It's confusing.

KANG

KANG: Uncle Daehong has gotten old.

STAFF: Here's your coffee.

The stitches are out.

If I take good care of it,
it won't leave a scar.

I can go to the hospital on my own now.

[sipping]

WOOJOO: You don't have to do it
if you don't feel like it,


but if you want to, do it.

That's the right thing.

Do whatever your heart tells you.

Do you want to go camping with me?

I'll spend the night
and come back tomorrow.

If you're uncomfortable,
we can come back at night.

I don't mind spending the night there.

It's camping,
so we should spend the night.

[soft music playing]

[engine rumbling]

I think it's my first time
seeing you drive.

You don't remember?

It's the second time.

[sighs]

When I took you to CEO Shin's company,
and I suspected you as a spy.

Oh.

It seems so distant.

For me, it's not.

Maybe that's because I've never had
someone read me like a book before.

It's so vivid for me.

WOOJOO:
You'd like me to admit it, wouldn't you?

It'd be less painful to be betrayed
by the part-timer

who's worked for only three months

than to be betrayed
by the people you've trusted for years.

I haven't gone camping in a while.

Has it been three years?

There was a time when I would go
whenever I had the chance.

Whether it was the weekend or the weekday.

We broke up at the camping site.

DONGJIN: I knew she had someone else.

I don't know
why we ended things like that.


Come to think of it,
it didn't help either of us.

That was the day…

I hated myself the most.

So I couldn't go camping again.

If I went,
I would have to face my worst self.

Why are you going today?

[chuckles faintly]

I wanted to go with you.

[delightful music playing]

[music subdues]

[indistinct chatter]

[delightful music plays up]

DAEHONG: Han Dongjin.

[music ends]

SUHO: One iced Americano,
and a regular Americano, please.

[mellow music playing]

JUN: I like that face.

What face?

The face you make
when you're not making any effort.

Make that face more often.

Don't smile when you don't feel like it
or pretend to be happy.

You'll be comfortable then.

[smacks lips]

If you're uncomfortable,
you can't call it dating.

That's just work.

[shudders]

This is my first time
saying something like this,

so I don't even know where to begin.

I'll be brave and try to say it.

The theme park is not the problem.

I am.

I don't really feel comfortable

in a place that's closed off and crowded.

If I take medicine, it does get better.

But I wasn't sure
if I'll feel okay the whole time.

It's been two months
since I started having these symptoms.

Was it…

Yes.

[clamoring]

Ma'am, please calm down,
and let's just talk.

HAESUNG: You could say
that getting hit in front of people


and being humiliated

is not a big deal…

[inaudible speech]

But you only see that on TV.

Not a lot of people
actually experience that.

I'm the only one who experienced
something like that, that I know of.

[giggles]

You don't have to smile.

Okay.

It was difficult.

[music fades out]

It was enough to keep me awake
for many nights.

[somber music playing]

HAESUNG: Every time I thought about it,
I felt ashamed.


[whimpering]

To be honest…

[whimpering]
I hit on you, determined to make you mine.

[laughing in tears]

I hoped that if I meet a new person
and started dating again…

it would make people think
that the whole thing wasn't a big deal.

[sniffling]

I used you.

I'm sorry.

[shuddering]

I had no idea…

I must have seemed like a child to you.

No.

You're a man.

Not a child.

[sniffling]

[whimpering]

[sniffling]

[sizzling]

DAEHONG: How's it coming along?

DONGJIN: It's good. [chuckles]

Ms. Sim.

Just leave it. I'll do it.

Yes, just relax.

I'm not used to just relaxing.

I feel more comfortable doing things.

[Daehong inhales]

[inhales]

-[barbecue sizzling]
-[smacks lips]

Were you surprised?

I was, briefly.

Now I'm feeling great.

[chuckles]

Your tent is still there as it is.

I didn't put it away.

I mean, I did clean it once in a while.

[sentimental music playing]

I really hoped you'd come back one day
since you loved it so much.

And you're finally here.

[giggles]

Dust them off today and air them out.

They must've been suffocating.

All right.

[barbecue sizzling]

[soft music playing]

[puffs]

Do you need a hand?

Don't you need to just take it off?

No, I can do it on my own.

-Hello.
-MAN: Hi.

[chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

[happy breathing]

WOOJOO: Over there too?

Yeah.

[chuckles]

[munching]

[crunching]

[giggles]

Should we order more?

I'm full.

You didn't eat much, though.

No, I had enough.

[giggles]

Actually, I already feel full
without even eating.

[phone vibrating]

[placing chopsticks]

-SUHO: I'll be right back.
-HAESUNG: Okay.

[Suho smacks lips]

[door opens]

[sighs]

[giggles]

[utensils clatter]

THE BATHROOM IS OUTSIDE ON THE LEFT

[switch clicks]

Today's not good.
Are there a lot of people there?

No.

My girlfriend told me about
her being sick today.

So I can't really tell her
that I'm going to go gaming.

[chuckles]

She's not that sick.

You know how some people look healthy,
but they take meds?

Something like that.

So you guys go first.

I'll finish this up
in an hour and join you.

[somber music playing]

[grunts]

I only need one hour.

[angry breathing]

AUTOMATED VOICE: The person
you're trying to reach is not available…


[ringing tone]

[hanging-up tone]

Hey.

Good timing, I wanted a drink.

[sobbing]

What happened?

[sobbing]

JUN: What?

[whimpering]

You need to tell me so I can comfort you.

You know that's my specialty.

[sobbing]

It was…

my first time telling anyone

about me taking medication.

[sniffling]

And he told his friend…

as if it's nothing.

[sniffling]

What a jerk.

Jun.

[tearing up]

I feel so humiliated.

[sobbing, weeping]

It's all right.

[Haesung sobbing]

JUN: It's okay.

[weeping]

There, there. It's okay.

[weeping]

[weeping]

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

[song fades out]

WOOJOO: Is this fun for you?

Setting it up and taking it down.
It just looks like work.

DONGJIN:
There are people who do this for fun,

and there are people who do it to rest.

[firewood clattering]

I started camping
because I wanted to rest.

[mellow music playing]

I have so many thoughts
running through my head

when I lie in bed wanting to rest.

But when you're camping,

nothing gets done
if you don't move your body.

You have to build a shelter,

and you have to make food.

When you make yourself busy like that,

you can rest from your thoughts.

Your mouth can rest,

and your eyes can rest too,
looking at nature.

For me,

there was no rest quite like this.

In Seosan,

there's a campsite
with a long forest trail.

That's my favorite place.

Let's go there

together another time.

We'll see.

I didn't say I like camping yet.

Well, it's pretty nice so far.

[gulping]

You could've come up.

SUNWOO: No need for that.

Take this. It's porridge.

I didn't say I was sick.

[chuckles] Like you didn't pick up
the phone and talk like you were dying.

Don't drink on an empty stomach,
at least eat some porridge.

Here.

You should be telling me not to drink.

Hey, I can't tell you to stop drinking.
I'm just your friend.

Not your family or your boyfriend.

So just this is appropriate,
don't you think?

-Thanks.
-SUNWOO: All right.

[awkward breathing]

That's abalone rice porridge, king-size.

Make sure you eat it all.

[chuckles]

Go on up. I'll go.

-Take care on your way back.
-All right.

[phone vibrating]

[solemn guitar music playing]

JIGU

-The person you're trying to reach…
-What?

[calling chime]

AUTOMATED VOICE:
The number you dialed is turned off.

Please record a message after the beep…

[loudly] Why isn't anyone picking up?

MOM

I just arrived in Seoul.
Let's have dinner, so hurry back home.


This is driving me crazy, seriously.

[somber music playing]

Gosh, they're driving me crazy.

They should've told me
they changed the lock.

Excuse me. Who are you?

And why are you asking that?

Because you're standing
in front of my house.

What nonsense are you talking about?
Are you drunk?

How is this your house? This is my house.

-Do you have a heatstroke?
-Just keep walking, will you?

Look here, lady…

JIGU: Mom!

Mom, wait. We need to talk.

This isn't our house anymore.

[inaudible dialogue]

[somber music continues]

[inaudible speech]

[running footsteps approaching]

[panting]

HAESUNG: She said not to come in.
She said she'd k*ll us.

[Jigu groans]

You should've answered your phones.
What were you doing?

If we had, would it have changed anything?

Gosh.

[music fades out]

[running footsteps approaching]

HAESUNG: Mom.

JIGU: Mom, I'll carry it.

[plastic clattering]

[Hyunju breathing angrily]

[angry breathing continues]

[calming down breathing]

Let's just go home.

[footsteps leaving]

[sighs]

Hurry up.

[song with female vocals playing]

HYUNJU: You three.

You're orphans from now on.

Consider me dead.

Mom…

We're sorry.

[sobbing]

We'll never do something like that again.

We're sorry.

I'm sorry.

[Haesung sobbing]

[sniffling and breaking into tears]

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

[footsteps approaching]

WOOJOO: You know how sometimes
you can tell a lot about someone


just by the way they walk?

I can tell you won't
go down no matter what.

There are so many stories there
that are way worse than yours.

I just wish

you could live comfortably
in your own place.

It's definitely not your fault.

Don't do it if you don't want to.

Do whatever your heart tells you.

You don't have to do it
if you don't feel like it,


but if you want to, do it.

[snorts]

[gentle wind blowing]

[messenger vibrating]

DONGJIN: I put away the tent that I'd
abandoned like an island for a long time.


[exhales deeply]

I feel light-hearted.

If I hadn't met you,

I would've still been trapped
