01x06 - Fluttering

[bunniefuu]

LINK

I'm busy right now.

Are you feeling better now?

What about you?

Let me just make this clear.

I'm totally fine.

And…

If you think I was crying
just a while ago, I--

-Sorry.
-It's okay.

What is it?

Where are you?
You're with that chef, aren't you?

Lower your voice. I'm--

Yes, I'm with him.

We're not doing anything.

Nothing's going on.
We only held hands once.

Just hang up.

Jeez.

-Wine?
-Yes, let me drink myself to death.

I'm sorry, but this isn't that strong.

Then I guess
I'll just have to die of humiliation.

It's okay. I'm used to it.

What's her problem?
My mom is going to be the death of me.

You're just like her.

We were crying and now we're laughing.
Hilarious, right?

Not really.

Don't you feel better after crying?

-Not at all.
-Really?

Whenever I cry,

it feels liberating because I can vent
all my pent-up emotions.

Let me repeat what I just said.
I'm totally fine all the time.

So there's nothing to vent.

Plus, I didn't even cry.

I see. You're embarrassed.

Right. You didn't cry.
I didn't see anything.

I understand.

It's true that I was shedding tears,
but I wasn't crying…

What?

I know this sounds crazy,

but I…

can feel

your emotions.

What?

I know it's hard to believe.

But whenever you feel
upset, sad, or happy,

I also feel

upset, sad, or happy.

But please don't misunderstand.
It doesn't happen all the time.

It comes and goes. It's very irregular.

Actually, that's not true.

It happens quite often.

I feel

your emotions quite often.

Why?

Beats me. I'm curious as well.

I know you can't believe me.
And you don't have to.

But in any case, I came clean.

You have a superpower.

Fine. You can tease me.

Can you fly too?

I'll practice.

That's enough.

Fine. Then guess
what I'm thinking right now.

If you do, I'll take you seriously.

I just told you that I sometimes feel
your emotions, not read your thoughts.

Whatever the case may be, try it. Okay?

All right.

It was all fun and games.

I was just going to tease him

for his childish joke
about feeling my emotions.

Now, it's the lighting
that's shining down on him.

I didn't want to have any butterflies.

I wasn't going to fall for him again.

FLUTTER

FLUTTERING

You're in no position
to feel such emotions.

You just said that you wouldn't
get involved with another man.

So why is my heart fluttering again? Why?

Mommy…

Should we tell Dahyun…

EPISODE 6

…about that fridge guy's sister?

Or should we not?

Look at you.

Same goes for you.

You're right.

What's wrong with you today?

Hey.

I think I've gone crazy.

What's wrong this time?

But is it so wrong to feel this way?

Isn't everyone like this?

I tend to be fickle, don't I?

That's right.

Yes. It's much better
to have butterflies for someone

than to hate them.

That's right. What's so wrong
about having feelings

for another human being?

It's just my love for mankind.

That's what it is. Of course, it is.

Has she gone insane?

Jeez.

You're terrifying.

In any case,
there's one thing I know for sure.

After crying and laughing
together last night…

we bonded even more.

Did--

-Did you sleep well?
-Yes.

The weather is lovely. Right?

Yes.

Is there anything I can do?

No.

-The sweet corn arrived.
-Yes.

Look at that beef.

Yes.

Did I do something?

No.

Then why are you acting like that?

Isn't it common courtesy to look
at someone when they're talking?

Good?

Are you being petty
because I was cold to you last time?

Then I get it.

What do you take me for?

Actions speak louder than words.

I'm not the petty type.

But you act like one.

It feels like you blocked my number
and didn't reply to my text

without telling me why.

You know what?
I thought we bonded a bit last night.

Was I mistaken?

You see…

I didn't start this business
to make friends.

And I have no plans
to become closer to anyone either.

I didn't come here to make friends either.

I'm glad we're on the same page.

But I didn't come here
to work like a dog either.

I'm not a robot or anything.

Sure. We work to make money.

Who joins a company
with the intention of finding a boyfriend

or new friends?

But you still chat with your colleagues
and sometimes even befriend them.

Do you go to school solely to study?

You make new friends there too.

You sometimes go to church or a temple
to pray and end up finding your love.

What am I spewing?

Darn it.

She's gone insane.

My one and only daughter has gone crazy.

Lucky you.

What?

That's just one daughter for you.

But both my daughter
and granddaughter are crazy.

I'm not that crazy.

You're hurting my feelings.

Mom! It's her!

Who?

Have you been well?

I guess so.

What a relief. I was worried
since you didn't look so well.

What's wrong with my face?

It's pale as if you're sick
or guilty about something.

It probably looks that way
because I have very fair skin.

I have pretty good skin.

I see.

I thought you were avoiding me,
so I thought you had done something wrong.

What are you? A cop?

What's it to you
if I did something wrong or not?

Is that a no then?

Oh, my. The way you two
are glaring at me is frightening.

That was a compliment.

You have sparkling, powerful eyes.

Why are you explaining yourself?

Have you still not seen him?

Of course not.

Look at that. You replied
without even looking at the photo.

Only our regulars come here to eat.

We never have new customers.

I see.

In that case…

Has she caught on?

Let's say that's the case.

No. You're right.

But we don't have time for this.

As you know, I have my own matters--

You're right.

And I have mine.

I haven't forgotten.

How could I
when the fridge is still there?

Fridge?

But I want to forget about it.

I don't want to cry about what happened
every time I look at that fridge.

Lee Jingeun is going to come back anyway.

I don't want to wait
while trembling in fear.

I refuse to be intimidated.

I'm going

to live my life the way I want to.

Let's be honest. I have nothing to fear.

-I've already k*lled--
-Jeez.

I tripped and fell on my way in.

Come in and help us.

Okay.

You!

How much did you hear?

From the part
where you acted very obnoxiously

till right before Dahyun
was going to spew nonsense.

That's right.

It's nonsense. Do you understand?

Don't worry.

Eunjung didn't hear anything either.

But…

But?

You were being a scumbag to Dahyun.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't that mean.

Yes, you were. You were awful.

It's better that way.

Does it really torment you
that much to feel her emotions?

Yes. It's annoying. I hate it.

What do you hate so much about it?

Everything.

Every time…

she cries, laughs, and is startled,

it annoys me.

But most of all…

Most of all?

What is it?

Look closely at my face.

Come on. Take a good look.

How do you feel? Is your heart fluttering?

Am I really that handsome?

Why are you so nosy?

I wasn't being nosy.

Are you a reporter? A cop?

-Are you interrogating me?
-When did I?

What's with that gaze? I don't like it.

-You complimented my eyes before.
-When did I ever do that?

Every night.

When, where, what time?

How could I
when the fridge is still there?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I was wondering why he didn't use this.

I see.

I guess he doesn't need it for now.

Right.

He doesn't need it.

Lee Jingeun is going to come back anyway.

I don't want to wait
while trembling in fear.

Let's be honest. I have nothing to fear.

I don't like the way…

that girl's looking at Dahyun.

Are you that irritated?

Yes.

Are you irritated because she is?

Or is that your own emotion?

Can you even differentiate them?

How can you tell
whose emotions you're feeling?

I know this for sure.

This desire to sew your mouth shut
comes from me.

Like I said before,
I have no time to think about that.

I'm not here
to do something like that with her.

Something like that? What exactly?

My top priority right now is…

What if that kid's
colluding with that fridge guy's sister?

Just smile for now.

Hello.

Gyehoon, the ladies are acting strange.

Maybe they feel guilty about something.

Hey.

I'm glad you're here.

We're not here to see you.

We just came
to have some noodles over there.

We're busy people, you know?

Still, you should try some of this.

Yellowtail season will be over soon.

This just came from Jeju Island.

Here.

How is it?

Make sure you charge him for that.

Of course.

It's so fresh.

I just need some rice and gochujang.

Of course, we've got some rice here.

Do you think they feel guilty too?

Yes.

Even if that wasn't the case,
I'm still not welcome here.

I think that cop
is happy to see you, though.

I heard you're that kid.

You remember me, don't you?

-It's me.
-Wait.

Hello.

I knew it. So you do remember me.

We met at the patrol unit a few days ago.

No, we also met before that.

A very long time ago.

Right.

Yes. It's me.

Your Mr. Policeman. Your hero.

Your Iron Man! Your John Wick!

I'm afraid I can't agree with you on that.

I was the one who caught the suspect.

-That makes me a hero.
-He was let go soon after.

No one was as dedicated
to the case as I was.

I solved everything singlehandedly!

The culprit is still at large.

Requesting rescue.

Girl. Age, ten. Height, about 130cm.

She didn't come home from school.

Red skirt. Carrying a pink backpack.

Is it a missing case?

Let's go.

It would've been better

had the kid's family and school
taken better care of her.

Don't you agree?

Bye.

They even have radish here.

Weren't you buying potatoes?

What?

Right.

They're very fresh.

Is it a missing case?

Age, ten. Height, about 130cm.

Red skirt. Carrying a pink backpack.

-I need to go.
-What?

Red skirt. Pink backpack.

Red skirt. Pink backpack.

Gyeyoung.

Eun Gyeyoung.

Where are you?

Gyeyoung, where are you?

Come on out.

I'm sorry.

Gyeyoung!

I'll…

Who are you? Get your hands off of her.

You're okay now.

Gyehoon.

Why couldn't you find me?

Why haven't you been able to find me?

Mister, are you okay?

What? Yes, I'm fine.

Are you okay?

He offered to take me to my mom.

I'll take her to the police.

If you're worried, you can come with us.

Dr. Eun's son…

has returned.

WIFE
DR. EUN'S SON HAS RETURNED

SAFETY FIRST

Leaving already?

We're extremely busy at the moment.

Why did you tell me to come here?

Did you see him?

-Answer me.
-Cut that nonsense.

Fine. Drive safely.

Dahyun!

Have you seen her?

What…

What the hell are you doing?

-Are you okay?
-What was that? Are you okay?

I think I could sue you for as*ault.

Oh, no.

He was teaching me
self-defense techniques.

I won't sue you, so get out of the way.

This time, I'll grab you from the back.

-I know how to do it.
-Do you?

-I'll begin. I'll grab you--
-Okay.

That's enough.

What's it to you?

What's it to me? I'm her--

I'm her boss.

Ms. Noh,
shouldn't you be working right now?

Yes. But I don't have anything to do.

I don't know when we'll open

or if we ever will,
but I should still work nonetheless.

-Thank you.
-My pleasure.

Free up your schedule some time,
and I'll give you a full course

without your power-tripping boss
interrupting us.

Power-tripping?

We're going to have
a soft opening at the end of this month.

That means we will be extremely busy.

We'll come up with a few more dishes.

Yes, sir.

Jinhoo, check the kitchen equipment,
dishes, oven,

and grill for the last time.

And we're going to see
if our movements don't clash.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

And…

Continue updating the menu guide

and revise the service manual
to befit our restaurant.

Frequently check
the tables, chairs, floor,

ceiling, and lights for any dust.

Keep practicing folding the napkins.
You're still terrible at it.

Look up more menu designs.

Have you studied the basics of wine?

You'll need to study the ingredients
to explain them to our customers.

Which means you'll be reading quite a bit.

And call all the farms we purchase from
and write down their harvest seasons.

I'll be planting a few more
edible flowers in the rooftop garden,

so don't forget to water them
every morning when you show up to work.

Hey. Mister.

Stop right there.

A girl went missing, Mr. Han.

She's ten and about this tall.

Doesn't she remind you of someone?

Eun Gyeyoung. The girl you kidnapped.

They just happen to be the same age.

What a huge coincidence, don't you think?

Thank you.

You're in trouble if your alibi is fake.

Jeez. There he goes again.

Does he not know
that we already found the girl?

Does he do that often?

Just answer me, will you?

Now that I know the story, I understand.
You'd question the most suspicious first.

It's pretty difficult
for someone to turn over a new leaf.

Culprits tend to do
the same evil deed over again.

Get branded once, and it's over for good.

Just like me.

You've already branded me

as a lost cause.

Where is the girl? Tell me.

Where is she? Come on.

It…

wasn't me.

Mr. Han,

do you know who I ran into today?

Eun Gyeyoung's older brother, Eun Gyehoon.

He told me
about how we let go of the suspect

and how the culprit was still at large.

So…

just come clean, Mr. Han.

If it wasn't you, then who was it?

Was it me? Did I kidnap her?

The girl was found.

I just got a text
that she was reunited with her parents.

You can go, Mr. Han.

Saved by the bell once again.

Don't think you're off the hook just yet.

I'll see to it that you go behind bars.

You're still here?

No one's waiting for me at home anyway.

Let's go.

I need to buy some writing supplies.
I'll walk you to the subway station.

Did you know we just walked 200 meters
without saying anything?

How do you even go on dates?

You must've been bored.

What dish do you enjoy making the most?

Is this an interview?

You're terrible
at making small talk, aren't you?

I'm not good at chatting casually.

But you do fine with Dahyun.

Do I?

Speaking of which,
what do you think of her?

She's pretty and cute.

She's still new to this job,
but she seems hard-working.

Is that so?

Don't tell me you guys are already dating.
Dating in secret?

No. Not at all.

That's ridiculous.

Really?

Then I'm relieved.

SKELETAL REMAINS FOUND
IN A MOUNTAIN IN GUYANG, GYEONGGI PROVINCE

REVEALED TO BE A JANE DOE

You can go ahead.

You're too boring to walk together.

I'll get going then.

That friend of yours gave this to us.

They're places
you can apply for another job.

Just take a look at them.

That hits home.

MOTHER'S TASTE
CHOONOK STEW

This door is always a nuisance.

Why isn't she home yet?

What is it? Did something happen again?

Myungsook, tell your mom
to stop by the restaurant. Okay?

-Make sure you tell her.
-Yes, ma'am.

Where is she?

What time is it?

Darn it. What was that for?

Why were you following my daughter?
What were you going to do to her?

Are you afraid I'd do something?

What's wrong?
Feeling guilty about something?

I have nothing to feel guilty about.

What? Do you want to crush my skull?

Are you curious?
Then keep following her, and you'll see.

Don't you dare touch my family.

Or I will crush that skull of yours.

Look who's talking.

If I find you at fault for anything,
I will k*ll you all.

What nonsense are you spewing?
Have you gone insane?

Are you picking a fight with me? Are you?

You're just impossible!

Goodness. Why are you fighting?

Jeez.

You're two adults fighting in public.

What if someone reports you to the police?

Look at that.
Afraid of the police, are you?

Unlike you, I'm not because I'm innocent.

Are you crazy?

I don't have that many years to live,

so I was worried about dying alone.

But I found my partner.

Bury us together.

Are you crazy?
Why would I be buried with you?

Goodness.

Would you like that?

Or will you shut up

and go quietly on your way?

I'm home.

Are they asleep already?

FAILURE IS THE 5G TO SUCCESS

STAGRAM
A MESSAGE FROM LEE JINGEUN

STAGRAM
A MESSAGE FROM LEE JINGEUN

I haven't forgotten.

How could I
when the fridge is still there?

I don't want to cry

about what happened
every time I look at that fridge.

Why are they messaging me
when I barely go on my social media?

Jeez. There are so many ads.

No, thanks.
I don't want to make money on the side.

LEE JINGEUN
LAST ACTIVE: YESTERDAY

LEE JINGEUN
LAST ACTIVE: YESTERDAY

Once again, I'm watching you
from somewhere nearby.

Your mom, your grandma…

and your new friends.

I plan on meeting them all soon.

Mom.

Grandma.

Mom.

Grandma.

What's wrong?

My mom and grandma are gone.

They're neither home nor here.

They must've gone somewhere.

They're strong individuals.

They can always hold their own.

The fridge.

Lee Jingeun messaged me.

He said that he wanted to meet
my family and friends.

He said he was watching from nearby.

Have you tried calling them?

Yes, but they left their phones at home.

Then I'll look around this neighborhood.

Stay home and lock the door.

No, let me go with you.

Okay. That would be safer.

Okay.

Mom.

Grandma.

What's wrong?

Did something happen to them?

Well…

She's a little shook up
because they're nowhere to be found.

Don't worry.

If anything, they're the ones
who'll do others harm.

Calm down. I'll help you find her, okay?

What's going on?

You seriously shouldn't
carry around those tools.

That little brat.
She left us behind and ran away.

Shut up and apologize.

-I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry.

This won't happen again.

This isn't your first time either.

What's wrong?

Grandma.

-Mom.
-Are you okay?

They were bored,
so they came out for a walk

with their tools.

Is that really that precious to you?
Why are you always carrying it around?

Huh?

Why?

Are you sure you're okay?

What's wrong with your face?

Exactly. Something happened to you, right?

What's wrong with--

Hold on. Why were you even together?

Are you guys dating or something?

Lee Jingeun is alive.

What?

He messaged me.

LEE JINGEUN

LEE JINGEUN
DIAGNOSIS: CONCUSSION

Long time no talk.

What should I talk about first?

I'm trying to sort out my feelings.

The things you did
and your incomprehensible actions

hurt me pretty badly.

BEFORE TAKING OFF MY MAKEUP

I know I slightly hurt you.

But you hurt me first.

Don't you agree?

Will I truly be able to forgive you?

Good news.

-How are you feeling?
-I decided to forgive you.

You're all that I have.

I think I'll be discharged soon.

It won't take long.

I'll come to you.

But…

why aren't you checking my messages?

But why aren't you checking my messages?

But why aren't you checking my messages?

But why aren't you checking my messages?

But why aren't you checking my messages?

I'm getting discharged today.

I'm going to go see you.

Wait there.

In the last message,

he said he was watching from nearby.

He said he wanted to meet
my family and friends.

-Thank you.
-Mom.

Thank you, Lord.

Mom. Grandma.

You're not a m*rder*r.

You have nothing to worry about anymore.

Exactly. You have nothing to hide anymore.

You can live holding your chin up high.

Don't cry, you guys.

It's all over now.

Why are you crying?

Sorry?

Oh, him? He cries when others do.

That's not true.

Really? That's strange.

But you guys have to be
really careful from now on.

Don't worry about that.

We'll teach him a lesson
if he dares to appear.

Oh, dear. Had I known this would happen,

I would've told that lady so.

You're right.

What lady?

I don't know why you stayed behind

and watched our family cry.

But anyway,
thanks for looking for us with her.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Please go in.

-Go in first.
-Why?

-Don't take too long.
-I won't. Don't worry.

Right away.

Thank you.

About…

Right.

Don't worry.

I'd like to stop here.

Unintentionally asking for so many favors.

I don't want to do that anymore.

This morning, you told me

that you didn't have time for this.
That you didn't want us to become closer.

Your mom, your grandma…

and your new friends.

I plan on meeting them all soon.

I don't want…

to get close to you anymore.

Good night.

What lady?

That crazy-looking colleague of yours.

She's Lee Jingeun's older sister.

Of course, he should k*ll him.

If anyone hurts my little brother,
I wouldn't have any mercy.

Until they cry and beg
saying they'd rather die,

I'd dedicate my entire life
to getting revenge.

His phone.

Hello?

Hello?

Who are you?

Is it you, Dahyun?

Just ignore it.

It's not me who's afraid.

Gyehoon, don't forget this.

You have to be good to me no matter what.

Imagine if I was a crybaby.

Imagine if I was in a bad mood.

Imagine if I was scared.

Then what would happen to you?

You'll become a crybaby
and a scaredy-cat just like me.

That's exactly why
you should always make me feel happy.

I'm not doing this for you!

I'm doing this for me!

Got that?

STEW RESTAURANT

CHEF EUN GYEHOON

Hello?

I'm not trying to be friendly or nosy.

But please trust me this once.

Cooking is the best way
to clear your head.

I need a large amount of pickle juice.

And I forgot that I had
to use all the beef tenderloin by today.

You learning a few simple recipes
will benefit the restaurant anyway.

Right. I just received
some high-quality butter too.

Eunjung.

I'd like to speak in private with her.

Sure. I think that would be good.

This is my responsibility anyway.
Don't worry.

I can see that you finally know

who I am.

I do.

Yes.

I'm here to find my brother.

He vanished one day,
and I couldn't track him down at all.

At first, I thought it was just a joke.
A prank.

But he never returned.

"What if something happened to him?"

"Was he scared? Did it hurt?"

"Did he resent me for not saving him?"

These questions torment me
every single day.

I can't even breathe.

I'm suffocating.

I think you can help me.

Please help me find him dead or alive.
Okay?

Why won't you answer me?

Why won't you say that you'll help me?

What if he's still alive?

What?

I'm sorry, sir.

We're not open yet.

It's okay. I'm just here to look around.

Sorry?

It's a long story.

You see,

this restaurant holds
special meaning to me.

I think you should leave--

This place looks much better
with the lights on.

It would be the best dating spot.

-When are you opening again?
-Excuse me.

My girlfriend lives across the street.

Who knows? I could be a regular.

So you should treat me nice.

We'll have to see
if you become a regular or not.

But for now, please leave.

Jeez.

How will you run a business like this?

Fine, fine.

Jeez. What a temper.

By the way…

I guess you're throwing it away.

Sorry?

I'll see you around.

They said

he could still be alive.

They all say that.

"I'm sure he's alive.
He probably just left home."

"He's probably okay somewhere."

That's not true.

He would've let me know
if he was still alive.

Maybe he had his reasons

for not contacting you.

So just wait.

And once he comes back,

we can talk.

I have a lot to say to you too.

Things you must hear.

What could this be?
What is this ominous feeling?

Our sixth sense warns us
of imminent danger.

This restaurant holds
special meaning to me.

We feel anxious for no apparent reason
and sense an ominous feeling.

My girlfriend lives across the street.

I guess you're throwing it away.

Lee Jingeun messaged me.

He said he wanted to meet
my family and friends.

I'll see you around.

He said he was watching from nearby.

You idiot!

Where are you?

Don't worry.
We talked, and I'm going home now.

So where are you?

I'm in an alley.

Use the main road. Avoid the alleys.

This ominous feeling.

No. Just stay there.

I'm on my way, so don't hang up--

Dahyun.

Dahyun.

Noh Dahyun!

My entire body is emitting
an inexplicable signal.

A warning, perhaps.

"Run!"

LINK

I would've made sure he was dead for good.

I hope you won't have

Lee Jingeun won't stop
until he gets what he wants.

Grandma.
