Boss.
Yes?
Would you like to...
sleep with me?
Are you asking someone
who you've only known
for less than three hours to...
sleep with you?
As far as I've seen,
you're probably not a crook.
You wouldn't rob me, would you?
If...
I'm interested,
what do I have to do?
It's your call.
You might want to do something
you've never done before.
Something I've never done before?
So, what do you say?
Is it a yes?
(Three hours ago)
- One margarita, please.
- One margarita...
Thank you.
Are you here alone?
Who would've thought, Aoy, Chod?
A brief encounter and greeting
changed my life
in such an unbelievable way.
Yes, I'm alone.
You?
Likewise.
My name is Pie.
I'm Boss.
My pleasure to meet you.
You're alone.
So aren't you lonely?
I like being alone.
I just broke up with my boyfriend
earlier this evening.
I'm sorry.
You are lucky to be the one
to end it.
But I...
You just got out
of a relationship too?
Not really, no.
Another margarita, please.
I just realized
that speaking to a complete stranger
can make you feel more at ease.
You can talk about things you're
too scared to discuss with friends.
There's no need to worry
about anything.
There's no need to put up a front
because you probably won't see
the stranger again anyway.
Are all men scumbags?
They're selfish.
They cheat on you.
They beat you up.
And they won't admit
they're wrong either.
Not all men are like that.
I might be the exception.
They're overconfident too, I guess.
Where are you going?
Leave me alone!
Oh?
Why are you all soaked like that?
I threw up,
and it got all over my top.
So I washed it with water.
Wear this, or you might get cold.
Thank you
for staying to chat with me.
Thank you for taking care of me.
I'm just scared your mascara might
run and you won't look as good.
Remember.
A woman can allow herself
to get hurt and cry it out.
But don't let love bring you down.
Thank you for the joke.
But I'm sorry.
I don't find it funny.
Here. I'll give you a hand.
What about you?
What kind of problem do you have
with your girlfriend?
I don't have one.
(Euro)
It's my best friend.
We've known each other for years.
He told me today
he's seeing one woman.
You were lied to?
I don't know if I can call it that.
But I can't blame him either.
Because
I'm also in the wrong.
It's my fault for being unclear
about who I am.
You weren't being clear with him.
But what about you?
Have you made things clear
with yourself
about who you are?
Actually,
I'm still confused about myself
and who I really am.
Boss.
Yes?
Would you like to...
sleep with me?
You might want to do something
you've never done before.
Something I've never done before?
So, what do you say?
Is it a yes?
It was from a curling iron.
My boyfriend, Pat,
got really mad at me
for checking his phone.
I caught him
sleeping with his colleague.
She's the owner's secretary
who's having a fling with her boss.
The boss's name is Sawang.
I can still remember her voice.
"Mr. Wang, sir. Mr. Wang."
It made me want to puke.
I don't know if they love each other
or if he's just a scumbag.
He's probably doing everything
to get promoted to a manager.
This mark happened
earlier this evening.
We had a really bad fight.
So bad
I thought I wouldn't put up
with it anymore.
I don't want to be
his punching bag anymore.
I've been putting up
with it long enough.
That's good.
A beautiful woman like you
doesn't deserve such a thing.
Thank you.
But I'm already used to it.
You shouldn't be used to
that kind of thing, Pie.
You really shouldn't.
Do you still want to do it?
That mark...
It's from a curling iron.
How strange.
It's the same as yours.
Your friend also
hurt you as well?
No, it wasn't him.
It was my dad who did it.
He doesn't like me being like this.
He saw me using it
and got mad.
That's probably why Euro...
I mean, that's probably
why my friend
doesn't want to wait for me.
Thank you
for making me feel like
I'm not the only one
in this world who's in pain.
We're both hurt.
I guess that's why
we understand each other.
(Pie R the Tutor)
A flower that faces the sun
like a sunflower
deserves to symbolize
starting a new life.
From the Stranger.
Hey.
Who are you?
Who are you?
I asked you who you are!
What are you doing
in my girlfriend's house?
Still refusing to answer?
- Who are you?
- Stop!
Don't do this.
Pie.
And don't ask
what a man and a woman do
when they're alone together.
You should be able to figure it out.
Alone together?
What did you just say?
Say it again!
You're hurting me!
Pie, are you okay?
Hey.
Pat, stop!
Stop!
- Don't!
- Do it!
And I'll tell Sawang to fire you.
Your boss, Sawang,
is my dad's close friend.
I'll tell him you're sleeping
with his secretary fling.
You won't get away with this.
And forget about being
promoted to manager.
You know Sawang?
That's right!
Would you like to prove it?
You should leave, Pat.
I will let it slide if you leave.
I'll help you convince Boss
not to tell his dad's friend.
Go on. Didn't you hear her?
Leave!
You should go, Pat.
Please. Let's end things
on good terms.
Don't make me do
something I don't want to do.
Pie,
this isn't over yet.
We have something to discuss.
As for you,
don't let me see your face again.
Pie, are you okay?
Why are your hands so cold?
Are you okay?
I am.
Are you hurt?
You're bleeding.
I'll be okay.
Your ex doesn't
hit as hard as my dad.
I'd be all bruised up for days
when my dad beats me up.
This is nothing.
Thank you
for saving my life.
Based on what he said,
he'll probably be back again.
You have to look after yourself
from now on.
Thank you.
Anyway, you know Sawang?
I don't.
He's a complete stranger.
I just remembered what
you told me last night
and used it as a threat.
So? Wasn't I good?
You were.
I bought it.
(Euro)
Why did you come here?
To see you, of course.
To ask you if you want
to go out for a meal.
What are you annoyed about?
You can ask your girlfriend.
Why would you ask me?
Boss, you're hangry.
Let's go and get something tasty.
You might feel better.
I'm not hungry.
Hey.
What's wrong?
It's none of your business.
Come here. Stay still.
Did your dad beat you up again?
You should move out.
You're already old enough.
Why would you stay there
so he can keep beating you up?
I would have done it ages ago
if I could.
I'm sorry
if I'm the reason why
he beat you up.
It's none of your business.
I got myself a girlfriend
to help you out, Boss.
- So you...
- Stop talking about this already.
I don't want to listen.
It's up to you
whoever you go out with.
It has nothing to do with me.
We're just friends.
Do you understand?
If there's nothing else,
you should go.
Hang on.
Don't go, Boss.
Come here.
Boss, come and sit right here.
Sit down.
What's with the medicine?
I know I can't stop your dad
from beating you up.
But I can help apply this.
That's why I carry it around.
Lift your arm and put it around me.
Put it around my shoulders.
Hold your shirt.
And if you
get beaten up again,
call me.
I'll come to apply the medicine.
Thanks.
And whatever you want to do,
you should just do it
if it makes you
feel a bit better.
All done.
Hello, ma'am.
Yumi's finished with her tutoring.
You can come and pick her up now.
Would you like me to order her
some food for the time being?
She might be hungry.
Oh, of course.
Your mother'll be here
to pick you up in 30 minutes.
Sure, Pie.
Sit here and keep playing, okay?
Your mother said
she'd take you out for dinner.
But are you hungry right now?
I'll fetch you something to eat.
I'm fine.
Pie, I have a question for you.
Yes? What is it?
How can I get better
at solving math problems?
I don't want Mom to be sad
if I can't get into middle school.
if you want to be good at math,
you have to practice a lot.
Spend 30 minutes
before bed every night.
Solve some math problems.
You can call me any time
if you're stuck.
I'll help you out.
I know how to solve math problems,
but I always get them wrong.
Well, are you stressed?
You have to relax
because your brain won't
work properly if you're stressed.
And don't feel pressured
because math is fun.
You have to see it like a game.
Oh, another thing.
You have to believe in yourself.
Believe you can do it, and you will.
Have you ever heard
of the Law of Attraction?
I don't think so. What is it?
The Law of Attraction states that
we attract into our lives
whatever we think about.
If you want to get
into middle school,
you have to believe you can.
And you'll be able to get in.
Your life will be filled
with good things,
and you'll get into middle school.
Really? Then I'll
convince myself every day.
Well done. That's it.
You have to believe in yourself.
More importantly, you have to
make an effort too.
Oh, I have another tip for you.
What is it?
Print a photo of the school
you want to get into
and put it on your door.
So you'll see it every morning.
You'll feel inspired and
motivated to solve math problems.
I read it in a book
called "The Law of Mirror".
You've got lots of good tips.
I'll believe you.
Well done.
It's not really a tip though.
It's a theory.
Hang in there, Yumi.
I will.
All right.
You can go now, Euro.
I'm about to go home too.
Why are you going so early today?
Don't you have
another class to teach?
No.
I'm done for today.
I'm so tired.
I might go home and rest a bit.
I didn't go home last night.
You didn't go home?
Where were you then?
It's none of your business.
Oh, Pie.
Would you like to exchange numbers?
We can at least be drinking buddies.
You can call me
whenever you're stressed.
I'll pass.
I don't want to cause you
any more problems.
Okay then.
Good luck, Boss.
I hope you can
keep away from bad things
and figure out something
for your life.
You too, Pie.
I hope you can finally
start a new life.
A life as vibrant
as a sunflower.
Take care of yourself, Pie.
Thank you.
I'll keep the sunflower
to motivate me.
All right. I should go.
Well, Boss.
Let's do it this way.
Even though we're not
exchanging numbers,
you already know this place.
If there's anything
or you don't know where else to go,
you're always welcome here.
I'm here for you.
What's the matter with you?
Nothing.
I'm going now.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye. Thank you.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Bye.
Pie! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Pie.
Please give me another chance.
Aoy, Chod,
I want to ask you the same question
Yumi asked me earlier today.
When encountering
a difficult problem,
I know what I'm supposed to do.
But whenever I try to solve it,
why do I always get it wrong?
I'm someone who knows a lot of ways.
I'm the mistress of theories.
I'm good at helping others,
but I can't do anything
about myself.
Well, Boss.
Even though we're not
exchanging numbers,
you already know this place.
If there's anything
or you don't know where else to go,
you're always welcome here.
I'm here for you.
How dare you, Pie? You brought
a guy into your house!
I'm sorry. I won't do it again.
How many times
have you told me that?
How many times?
I never did!
Liar!
Don't lie to me.
Tell that jerk
if he messes with my life
and makes me lose my job,
I won't let either of you live.
You're hurting me!
Oh, you're hurt?
Pat, I thought you said
you wanted a chance.
How many times have you
done this?
I'm like this
because of you!
You're always like this!
That's why I'm like this too!
- You're hurting me!
- You're always provoking me!
Do you want a piece of me?
Boss!
Pat!
Pat!
Pat, are you okay? Are you hurt?
- We should go!
- Are you hurt, Pat?
- Pie, let's go!
- Pat!
Pat!
Let go of me!
Boss, let go!
I'm going to call
an ambulance for Pat!
- Let go of me!
- Pie!
- Let go!
- Don't be stupid!
Get a hold of yourself!
Boss, let go of me!
Stay out of this!
Get out! Let go!
Let go!
- Come on!
- Boss!
Pat!
Boss, let go.
- Pat!
- Stay put!
Boss, let me go!
Boss, get away from me!
Pat!
- Pie!
- Pat!
Boss, let go of me!
Let go!
Let go. Why are you getting
involved?
There's nothing between us.
I'm going back to Pat.
What am I going to do if he dies?
He won't die that easily.
And you should know.
A man like him
who only loves himself
won't let himself die easily.
He'll be able to get
to a hospital himself.
Oh.
He'll call his lover
to take him there.
Shut your mouth, Boss.
Pat cut ties with that woman.
He broke up with her this afternoon.
And you're stupid enough
to believe him?
Yes, I'm stupid!
I believe everything he tells me!
Are you happy now?
If you don't know what to say,
then let go of me already.
Stay out of my life.
And do you think
that highly of yourself?
You can't even manage your own life.
And now you're interfering
with someone else's.
Let go! I'm going back to Pat!
I'm trying to help you
because I know
how painful it is
to be hurt by someone you love.
Physical pain can be treated.
But mentally?
You can't wish it away
no matter how hard you try.
And if you keep
letting him hurt you,
then you'll have to keep letting him
for the rest of your life.
You're lucky
the person hurting you is
your boyfriend.
You can still break up with him.
But I...
I'm being beaten up by my own dad.
There's no way out for me.
I can't cut him out of my life.
And I came to rescue you tonight
because I asked for it.
I was worried about you.
Do you want to go back yourself?
Or should I give you a lift?
And from now on,
I won't be worried
about you anymore.
Let's be strangers again.
Boss, don't leave me.
Please don't.
Please.
No one will leave you
if you learn to love yourself.
Otherwise, no one can help you.
I have no one else now.
Pat doesn't allow me
to be friends with anyone
because he doesn't want me to tell
my friends bad things about him.
It's okay, Pie.
Things are coming to an end.
If you're strong enough,
you can start over tomorrow.
Is this your house?
That's right.
You can stay here tonight.
I don't want you to go home.
I'm worried about you.
Is this really okay?
Would it look bad?
It's okay.
I'll tell Dad you're a friend
and you just came back
from overseas.
And you have no relatives.
My friends often spend the night.
Besides, you're a woman.
Dad probably doesn't mind.
He'll actually be happy.
Boss,
I'm scared.
Of what?
I don't know.
I feel...
confused about everything.
There's no need
to be scared anymore.
And don't think too much
about anything.
You need to rest well tonight.
We can figure things out tomorrow.
Okay?
Come on.
Boss.
Maybe...
we should try going out
with each other?
If I stay the night
at your house
as your girlfriend
and not as a friend,
a lot of things might get better.
A lot of things might get better?
What do you mean?
Well,
I'll be able to get over Pat
more easily.
As for you,
if your dad realizes
you're not going out with Euro
and you have a girlfriend,
he probably won't
beat you up anymore.
Do you think so?
Yes.
Let's try going out with each other.
It doesn't have to be
for a long time.
Let's do it until we can
overcome these problems.
Do you really think
it's a good idea?
I don't know.
But things can't get
worse than this, right?
Allowing someone
to hurt you repeatedly
shows a lack of self-love.
I want us to try going out
with each other
for real for 21 days.
Not just a sham to trick your dad.
Boss has a girlfriend now.
And that's me.
Are you crazy, Boss?
You tricked a woman into
being your girlfriend.
But you're with a woman too.
Why can't I do the same?
What kind of a woman are you?
You're as fierce as a dog.
Where is Boss?
The first time in my life
to be punched in a scene.
- Like this.
- Pat, stop!
Pat, no!
Go for the stomach.
- Pat!
- Whoa.
He's dead for sure.
Totally dead.
All right. Let him ask.
Act like you...
- Let's do it this way.
- It's a curling iron.
I stole my dad's and used it.
He's the one who has it.
But he got mad
so he branded me with it.
