OUR STICKY LOVE

[scoffs]

-[uneasy music plays]
-[Tae-ha laughs]

Chairman.

Prosecutor Go isn't on the cargo ship.

[Coach] Baek Sang-gil!

[exhales]

[scoffs]

[Baek chuckles]

So this is how we reunite.

There was a time
when I called you "Coach."

I don't know what to call you now.

[music fades]

There's not really a good word
for an abandoned disciple

to address their master with.

[uneasy music plays]


FINAL SELECTION

LIGHT WELTERWEIGHT MATCHUP

BAEK SANG-GIL
VS LEE JUNG-GU

[crowd cheering]

[commentator 1] All right,
Baek Sang-gil's in great shape today.

At this rate, he's almost guaranteed
to win the gold medal.

-[referee] No clinching.
-[grunts]

[commentator 1] Baek Sang-gil's
really going for it.

[referee] No clinching. Stop clinching!

Stop!

[panting]

Huh? What's going on here?

Blue corner. You're forfeiting. It's over.

[commentator 1] Baek Sang-gil's coach
just threw in the towel.

Now, it's not uncommon

for a coach to throw in the towel
to protect their fighter

if and when they're in danger.

-But Baek was in a favorable position.
-[commentator 2] That's right.

[commentator 1] I can't say I understand,

and Baek Sang-gil
appears to be just as confused right now.

[Baek] Coach!

What the hell was that about?

Take 'em off.

Think I wouldn't be able to tell
the difference in the sound of the gloves?

I was going to win, wasn't I?
I was about to become a national athlete.

Competing on a national level
by cheating your a*s off?!

Wouldn't it be good for you, too,
if I were to become one, huh?

The short time I wasted
having you as my disciple

will go down
as the most shameful thing I've ever done.

-Coach, come on!
-From now on, don't call me your coach.

I didn't teach you
to use your fists to harm others.

Agh! f*ck this sh*t.

I cherish Jang Tae-ha

as if a rib was taken from my own body
in order to make him.

And soon, not only I,

but the entire country will cherish
the extraordinary athlete this man is.

-[Coach chuckles]
-[scoffs]

[music fades]

[Baek] Hm.

Despite all your best effort, your student
ended up exactly the way I ended up.

I'm sure it wasn't easy to take him back.

It is unfortunate
that it turned out like this.

But…

[Baek sighs]

[uneasy music plays]

…throwing punches
like your life depends on it is thrilling.

Throwing those little jabs
in a ring? [scoffs]

I'm sorry, but that isn't even close.

[groans]

Even after these 30 long years, it's

a pity that you didn't change
even one bit, Baek Sang-gil.

You think you broke him?

Someone that I care about?

But you didn't.

Tae-ha has never once been broken.

Even now, you're still trying to k*ll
innocent people to satisfy your own greed.

Tae-ha did this to save someone else.

[breathes shakily]

So… you don't have anything
to be proud of.

[lighter clicks]

I reported the expl*si*n,
so the police will be here soon.

If you're brave enough, then stick around.

[dramatic music plays]

[glass shatters]

[music stops]

[car door opens]

[engine starts]

[somber music plays]

Tae-ha.

[groans]

Are you okay?

[exhales]

-[groans]
-[Coach] Can you get up? Let me help you.

[Tae-ha groans]

[Tae-ha groans]

[Tae-ha breathes heavily]

[Tae-ha groans]

I told you not to get involved.

Why did you come?

Even if you had g*ng-rok,
cans of gasoline,

and you were ready
with the police on standby,

what if something didn't go as planned?

What were you thinking
going after him like that?

It's okay. Go Eun-sae is safe.

She left.

She got away safely.

[tense music plays]

No. No. Jang Tae-ha! No!

[screams]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[Eun-sae breathes shakily]

[Coach] Tae-ha.

Tae-ha!

Wake up. Tae-ha!

Come on, stay with me. Tae-ha!

[breathes shakily]

[sniffs]

[grunts] Let go.

-I can't do that. You need to stay here.
-I need to go to Jang Tae-ha now!

If you get off, you'll die.

I said, let go!

Step on his foot,
push him over, and run away.

[Eun-sae grunts]

[door rattles]

[Kaito grunts]

Ms. Go!

[suspenseful music plays]

[music fades]

[tense music plays]

[gasps]

I'M DONE
LEAVE WHEN THE COAST GUARD SIREN RINGS

[engine revs]

[g*ng-rok] What now? Eun-sae?

[dramatic music plays]

Kaito?!

[music fades]

[breathes shakily]

[poignant music plays]

[exhales deeply]

[breathes deeply]

[Eun-sae screams]

[screams]

Don't disappear without a word.
Don't put yourself in danger.

Just…

I just want you safe.

[scoffs]

[exhales]

[doorbell chimes]

[music fades]

[footsteps approaching]

[poignant music plays]

[exhales]

[gasps]

Park Hyo-jin.

You b*tch.

[Eun-sae breathes shakily]

[breathes shakily]

[exhales]

Your memories have returned?

That's right.

You silly b*tch.

[sobs]

[chuckles weakly]

[Hyo-jin continues sobbing]

[exhales]

Why do you have a bag of taffy?

All I knew was that you were
in some kind of taffy village,

so I had to start somewhere.

You deleted your Instagram account,
and I lost your new phone number too.

[Hyo-jin sobs]

Why did you even want
to find someone you hate?

You should've left for good,
since you got your revenge, right?

But you didn't even have the guts
to do that.

[exhales]

How can I, with our history?

[music fades]

[breathes shakily]

[gentle music plays]

Hey, trade shoes with me, all right?

Hey…

[sobs]

Those things I hated you for doing,
they piled up so high

I couldn't remember
any of the good times we had.

But after I got my revenge,

all those things
that I was upset about disappeared.

I remember all the fun we had.

And I know now
what kind of friend you were.

[breathes shakily]

I'm sorry.

The way I lived my life was wrong.

[cries]

I'm so sorry.

[Hyo-jin cries] No, I'm sorry!

[Hyo-jin sobs]

-[Eun-sae] I'm sorry for everything.
-[Hyo-jin] No, I'm more sorry.

[Eun-sae] No, I'm even more sorry.

[music fades]

[Hyo-jin] Eun-sae,
drink this while it's warm.

Thank you.

So, where were you all along?

Gujin.

Gujin? [sighs]

Oh, Gujin.

I forgot they have
a taffy village there too.

But, uh,

who was that person who took you in?

[sighs]

He was someone…

[poignant music plays]

…that I knew from before.

So, what's your name?

Jang Tae-ha.

[Eun-sae] We once had
a serendipitous encounter,

and he was someone I had a good memory of.

But I like this one the most,
because I met my first love here.

It was nice to meet you,
future gold medalist.

It turned out that he was someone I was
destined to connect with from long ago.

MIRAE EDEN COMPANY
ORGANIZATIONAL CHART

JANG TAE-HA
DIRECTOR

I… About me being a gangster…

I'm sorry.

He endured unfortunate circumstances
and lived a life that he never chose.

Hey, it's me. Jang Tae-ha.

It's me. Your boyfriend.

We met up in the mountains.

Our dog is gone.
Um, she must have got out of the yard.

I'll… I'll go and look for her.

[chuckles softly]

He even put on an awkward, clumsy act.

Don't take it too hard.

If you find a way to breathe…

[music fades]

…you will get through it.

[gentle music plays]

[breathes shakily]

He's the one who saved me.

What's wrong?

[Eun-sae inhales]

[Eun-sae] He risked his life

to make sure I was safe until the end.

[music fades]

[cries]

-What, now?!
-[Jeong-hwa gasps]

You mean
Prosecutor Go didn't get on the boat?

Then where is Eun-sae right now?

[sighs]

No idea.

The last I saw of her,
she was riding off on my motorcycle.

-[Jeong-hwa] Oh no.
-So, what do we do now?

Tae-ha's in for a real shock.

Well, even if he does find out,
there's no way for us to find her.

She turned her phone off, and we can't…

It's not like we can
ask the police for assistance either.

[Coach sighs]

What are we gonna do?

For now, let's not tell Tae-ha.

If his a*s finds out
Prosecutor Go didn't get on the boat,

he's gonna get up and leave the hospital,

and go around the entire country
looking for her.

-Yeah.
-Yes, I agree with you.

So instead,

I'll look into different facilities
she may have gone to.

Yeah, okay. Yeah.

[groans softly]

[Hyo-jin] I'm so grateful.

I'm so grateful that you have him.

There's only one possible way
to save Jang Tae-ha.

We have to catch Baek Sang-gil.

Oh. So, you're going back to work?

Not yet. I need to keep an eye on this.

The fact they put me on extended leave

must mean that Baek Sang-gil has
people within the office.

Baek Sang-gil tortured me
to find out where my watch was.

And in the end, I saw him find it.

But even after he found it,
he didn't k*ll me.

That means he knows about my plan B,

and Gwak Chi-hyeon is
the only one who knows.

[tense music plays]

[Hyo-jin] Actually, when I was wondering
if I should report you missing…

She's not missing.

[Hyo-jin] …Chi-hyeon told me
you weren't missing. There was no need.

But I knew something felt off about that.

So is Gwak Chi-hyeon…

I think he works for Baek Sang-gil too.

[Hyo-jin] I mean,
how could he do something like that?

So, what exactly was plan B?

My sneakers.

My sneakers were set up
to upload whatever they filmed,

straight to the cloud.

When I tried to use the cloud drive
on my phone earlier, it didn't work.

Those guys must have hacked
the account already.

-So what do we do?
-[Eun-sae] We're not out of options yet.

The watch was always synchronized between
the computer I use and the sneakers,

so the footage should be saved
on my laptop at home.

But I'm a little afraid
to go home right now.

You're worried that Baek Sang-gil
might have planted something.

[Eun-sae] Mm-hmm.

Ah.

So, I was wondering…

-How'd it go?
-We didn't find any suspicious vehicles.

There were no tracking devices or cameras
around your unit either.

But there were signs
that someone tampered with the lock.

-What?
-What?!

But we checked the apartment thoroughly
and it's clear for you to go in.

[Eun-sae] Oh, okay.

[beeping]

[music fades]

[intriguing music plays]

[door lock beeps]

[Hyo-jin] What? Where's the laptop?

[Eun-sae sighs]

[Hyo-jin] Your laptop is gone.

Those guys must have taken your laptop.

Yeah. He's thought of everything,
that Baek Sang-gil.

What now? Did you happen
to save it anywhere else?

That was it. The last place
would be in those sneakers.

Where are the sneakers?

They also couldn't locate any prints

on the clothes or shoes
that you were wearing when we found you.

Why was I wearing a suit with sneakers
instead of dress shoes anyway?

So not me.

In Taffy Village.

That's great. Can we ask Jang Tae-ha
for help then?

Let's tell him your memory's back too.

No, we can't do that.

If he finds out my memory is back,
then he won't just sit by and watch.

He'll try to protect me
or send me somewhere.

That would disrupt the investigation.

I don't want to put him
in any more danger.

Then what are you going to do?

[exhales]

[door opens]

Chairman. I think the prosecutor
is here in Korea.

What?

I confirmed that no boats had left
the port last night except for one cargo.

And some of our men

say they saw Prosecutor Go
leave the port on a motorcycle.

The prosecutor's in Japan.
So, why come here?

You had the nerve to smuggle her away

and you thought
I'd just sit by and allow it?

I can see how much
that disciple of yours meant to you, but

you know I always make sure
to repay my debts, favors, and grudges.

You used to praise me for my grit

when I was still just a lowly boxer.

[poignant music plays]

If you're thinking of "playing coach"
like the good old days,

and giving me
some half-baked advice, then…

[Coach] Can't you please

just let Tae-ha go now?

Prosecutor Go lost her memory.

She can't hurt you in any way.

If it's me that you hate, then

just do whatever you want to me.

So just…

let Tae-ha go.

Let him go.

That boy has never lived for himself
his entire life.

So please…

Just please,

leave him alone.

I…

I…

I'm begging you.

-[groans softly]
-[music fades]

KAITO

[g*ng-rok] I told you,
I talked with Kaito on the phone.

He said that the boat departed safely.

But why haven't I heard from her yet?

[sighs] No news means good news.

She'll call later
when everything is settled.

Just rest, all right?

You're up?

-Why did you take so long at the store?
-Did you go somewhere else?

Just the bathroom.

[Tae-ha] Oh.

Hey, you don't need to worry
about somebody else going to the bathroom.

Just worry about yourself.

You're a healthy young man.

-It's not like you're an old lady.
-[Jeong-hwa] Oh!

What are you doing
laying in bed like that?

Well, that's… that's why
I'm going home now.

-[Jeong-hwa] Go home?
-Hey, we… Already?

-Oh!
-Hey, I didn't mean it like that, man.

[chuckles]

Really, I'm okay now.
There's not much more to do here anyway.

You should still recover some more.

[Jeong-hwa] Just stay a bit longer.

-[Coach] No, I--
-It's all right.

-[Jeong-hwa] Ah…
-[Coach] That's not what I meant.

-[g*ng-rok] Watch your step.
-Be careful. I'll check on Tae-ha's room.

I said we should stay a while longer.
Why were you in such a rush to leave?

Uh, should he lie down?

-Wait.
-Are you okay?

-[Tae-ha] Grandma.
-[Jeong-hwa] Ma'am. You're here too?

-Oh, please.
-[Coach] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Ma'am. So, Tae-ha's condition
right now is…

[Grandma cries]

Oh, ma'am.

How… How much more
of an inconsiderate grandma

do you want me to be? Huh?

You… You didn't go because of me again.

You like her so much, but you didn't go
just because of my illness. [cries]

[poignant music plays]

How do you expect me to live with that?

As a grandmother
who held back her grandson twice.

How can I continue to live
with this kind of shame?

[sniffles]

But you… How are you going to live?

You let the girl you loved
even more than life itself go alone.

So, how are you going to live?

[Grandma sighs]

-[Tae-ha] Grandma.
-[Grandma sighs]

It's okay, Grandma.

I'll be able to live well,

even without her.

I'm sure I can live well enough.

[Grandma cries]

[Grandma] My poor baby. My baby.

What am I going to do, my baby?

[Grandma cries]

[music fades]

[Hyo-jin] Are you really
going to be okay alone?

Don't worry about it. Just go to work.

Baek Sang-gil thinks I went to Japan,
and the security company says it's fine.

So it's safer here, for now anyway.

Okay, then. Make sure to call me
if anything happens.

[Eun-sae] Mm-hmm.

Thanks so much, Hyo-jin.

Mm. What are you thanking me for?

-Hey, don't come out barefoot.
-[Eun-sae] It's fine.

[Eun-sae chuckles]

[Hyo-jin] Just go inside.

-All right.
-[Hyo-jin] Okay, bye.

-[door closes]
-[door lock beeps]

[sighs]

-[poignant music plays on radio]
-[Hui-ja sighs]

They say you don't know when someone
comes, but you know when they leave.

Our entire village is now just so quiet

all because Eun-sae is gone.

I wonder if she's arrived in Japan by now.

[Hui-ja sighs]

Oh, stop it, you two.

Why think about someone who's gone?

[sighs]

[in Korean] ♪ Have you already
Forgotten me? ♪

♪ Leaving only longing… ♪

[Hui-ja in English] Light pink roses.

[in Korean] ♪ Have you really
Forgotten me? ♪

[in English] So beautiful. [laughs]

Eun-sae's favorite.

[sniffles]

We also had so much fun singing together.

[chuckles softly]

-[Maeng-suk] And we fought so hard too.
-[Geum-hyang chuckles]

Well, if it's not going to work,
we should not do this today.

And once that feisty chick
was on my side… [chuckles]

[in Korean] ♪ Oh, what am I to do
When I miss you so? ♪

[all sob]

♪ My longing for you only grows ♪

[sighs]

[Eun-sae sighs]

[music fades]

[sighs]

[gentle music plays]

BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER

[chuckles]

[chuckles softly]

[sighs]

-[sniffles]
-[music fades]

[in English] Slowly, slowly. Okay.
Uh, cushion, cushion. Lay on the cushion.

Oh, you can go now. I'm fine.

No, it's not.
I should be here to help you.

You're in no shape
to even take a shower alone yet.

Even so, I don't know
about us showering together.

-Get out before you make it more awkward.
-Right.

Yeah, yes. Then just call me
if there's anything I can do.

-I've always got your back, okay?
-[chuckles] Okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, g*ng-rok.

Yes? Yes, sir.

Be careful out there.

-Ah.
-Baek Sang-gil knows that you helped me.

And he's going to know that you're here.

Well, why would he care about me?

Oh, don't worry.

Sir, I might not be as good as you,
but I can still fight.

[grunts, coughs]

[g*ng-rok groans]

Who are you, and who do you work for,
you piece of sh*t?

Look. I've still got it.

-[chuckles softly]
-[g*ng-rok] Don't worry. [chuckles]

Rest up.

If anything happens,
don't hesitate to reach out.

[gentle music plays]

[Eun-sae] Good morning.

She's probably safe.

I wonder if living there
is comforting for her.

[Eun-sae] Wow.

This place is so beautiful.

I feel like I'd be healed every day
if I lived in a place like this.

[exhales]

I hope it's not too hard for her,

Go Eun-sae.

You know, that's not her name.

[dog barks]

Her name is Bok.

I named her that because I thought
her choosing to live here was good luck.

How…

How are you here? What happened?

[music fades]

You're asking what happened?

After what you pulled on me,
you are asking what happened right now?

I was so scared.
I thought I was going to die.

[exhales]

Oh, man. I'm going crazy.

Wh… Why didn't you go to Japan?

Why would I go there?

To hide? What am I on the run for
when I didn't do anything wrong?

That was the only way to keep you safe.

[Eun-sae] I can be safe without going.

All I have to do is

break up with you, Jang Tae-ha.

[poignant music plays]

-What?
-[Eun-sae] Why are you so surprised?

You knew just how much I hated gangsters.

This was never going to work out
once you went back to being one.

The only reason why
you tried to send me away

was because you chose the g*ng life.

So if I ended things with you,

I would be safe, wouldn't I?

Even if that's true, you don't have
anywhere to go right now.

I'll go to a facility.

And we're strangers now,
so please don't ask me any more questions.

So did…

[music fades]

…your memories

return?

They didn't. Do I need to remember
everything to break up with you?

I'll leave as I want and go on
with my life. That's all I'm here to say.

Anyway, thanks for everything.
I'll pack my things, then head out.

[sighs]

[door opens]

Oh, wait.

[intriguing music plays]

Hold on.

No. What?

Where did all my stuff go?

Uh, I sent it all over to Japan.

Huh?

I asked the head coach to go ahead
and send your things after we left.

What? Uh, why would you…

[Eun-sae gasps]

Call them. Tell them to send it back now!
There's something important in there.

-Come on, hurry up!
-Yeah.

Faster!

[music stops]

What did they say?

They said if they send it back soon,
it should get here by tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow?

Oh, what do I do?

[sighs]

[taps table]

[Eun-sae sighs]

I have no choice.
I guess I'll just stay here one more day.

[awkward music plays]

I mean, the package
won't get here until tomorrow.

It wouldn't make sense to go back to Seoul
just to return here tomorrow.

And I bet you told him it's over. That's
both sad and funny at the same time.

Yeah.

Well, I guess you have no choice.

Then have a good night.

[music fades]

[Tae-ha] I met Go Eun-sae.
Call me when you see this.

-[sighs]
-[door closes]

Don't even think
about sending me somewhere again.

I won't just obediently go along
with whatever you say, like I did before.

I wouldn't say you were ever… obedient.

[jaunty music plays]

Oh.

[Eun-sae] Hm.

Hey. You really let yourself go
while I was gone.

Huh?

Oh, I…

I just got home from the hospital.

[Eun-sae sighs]

[tuts]

What will I do with this man?

-[Tae-ha sniffs]
-What are you doing? Go take a shower.

[Tae-ha groans]

Oh! Are you all right?

-Uh-huh.
-Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't realize you were hurt this bad.

[sighs]

Then you probably can't wash yourself.

[music fades]

Right?

[gentle music plays]

There's nothing to even wash.

-What do you mean? I have a lot of hair.
-I meant you have a small head.

-Oh, I can dry it myself.
-Just stay still.

[hair dryer blasts]

[Eun-sae] All I have to do
is break up with you, Jang Tae-ha.

Hm.

I'd say that's an improvement.

Was I that bad to look at?

Yes.

So, which facility are you going to, then?

-We're broken up.
-[music fades]

I told you not to ask.

We could still keep in touch--

-Have you ever washed the dog?
-[Bok barks]

-Huh?
-[Bok barks]

-No.
-[gasps]

Of course you never washed her.

Everyone in this house ends up so dirty
as soon as I stop being around.

[tuts] Hurry up and follow me.

[Eun-sae sighs]

I wonder if she'll turn into a white dog.

[Tae-ha chuckles]

-[Bok barks]
-[Eun-sae] Whoa! Oh!

[jaunty music plays]

Oh! Oh.

[groans]

-My eyes.
-Did it get in your eyes?

-The soap. Hold on.
-You okay?

[gentle music plays]

[music fades]

[Tae-ha clears throat]

[intriguing music plays]

-[g*ng-rok groans]
-[Jeong-hwa yelps]

-Ow, ow!
-Are you okay?

[g*ng-rok groans]

[g*ng-rok laughs awkwardly]

Oh, hello! [laughs awkwardly]

Uh, we came by
because we heard you were here.

Yeah, so, uh…

So we came over in a hurry.

Should we come back later?

Uh, no.

-Eun-sae, are you feeling okay?
-[music fades]

You all knew that I was going far away,
but you kept it from me.

But… where were you?

-Where have you been all this time?
-Jang Tae-ha can tell you all the details.

[Tae-ha] Where are you going?

Grocery shopping for dinner.

Don't follow me, Jang Tae-ha.
Tell them what's going on.

Oh, and find Bok and finish her bath.

What's with Eun-Sae?

Why is she being so cold to you
all of a sudden?

[sighs]

What's going on?

You should have told me
if you knew she didn't leave.

Hey, the reason we didn't

is because we knew
you'd go looking for her,

even though you were hurt.

[Jeong-hwa] Look. I'm just glad
Eun-sae showed up safe and sound.

So she can't stay in Taffy Village
anymore. Is that right?

Since Baek Sang-gil knows about it,
it's definitely not as safe as it was.

I asked Kaito to look into the schedule
for the next stowaway ship,

but it'll take a while.

And she's not gonna be convinced easily.

So, by the way, did you happen to see

a strange suit and some sneakers
when you were shipping her things?

You seen them?

-No.
-Did you?

A strange suit?

Baek Sang-gil knows about the plan B,

and he's looking for the outfit
Go Eun-sae was wearing

at the time of the incident.

There's key evidence somewhere
on her suit. The belt or the sneakers.

Yeah. That's possible.

We'll have to look for that first
when her stuff gets here.

If we can find the evidence,

we won't have to send her away,

and she'd still be safe.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION
NAME: MIN SU-JI

It'll be less painful for her if she did.

[gentle piano music plays]

[Su-ji] So, what is it?

Why'd you ask to see me
if you're not gonna say anything?

Uh…

Oh, uh…

You know, I realized something recently.

This was a really good place for me to be.

I saw that some people
just have to break up

even when they love someone.

So even when we let our pride get
in the way, it was almost a good thing.

What I mean is…

I'm sorry, Su-ji.

[gentle music plays]

For the times I didn't know better,

or when I did.

For how I hurt you the way I did.

Sorry for everything.

You know, I've always

liked you a lot, Min Su-ji.

I actually don't really like
drinking yulmu tea.

But every time I ordered it,

I was able to see you a little longer.

That's why I always ordered it.

Here's your yulmu tea.

[Gi-jun] Thanks.

I mean, I really love yulmu tea, so…

When I was dating you,
someone I liked so much, I really felt

like I had the whole world.

But our hearts can be petty
and steer us wrong,

and I let that happen.

So… I'll honor your decision.

You don't have to come
to the clinic anymore.

An Gi-jun…

And, just like you wanted to,

let's end it now, Su-ji.

[music stops]

[poignant music plays]

I'll get going then.

[music fades]

[Jeong-hwa] Oh.

Eun-sae, this is…

This is different
from how you usually cook.

I guess my taste buds changed
after I almost died.

-All right, enjoy your meal.
-Yeah.

-Thank you for the food.
-[g*ng-rok] It looks great.

-[Coach] Looks special.
-[Jeong-hwa] What to start with?

-[Coach] I've never had this before.
-[Jeong-hwa] I've never tried making this.

-[gasps]
-[intriguing music plays]

You're in your twenties, g*ng-rok.

The Ogol chicken legs are supposed to be
good for those in their thirties and up.

[Coach] Then, uh, that means I qualify.

Yeah, you do, you do.

Then, I'll have an abalone.

[music stops]

[intriguing music resumes]

The abalone smells a bit fishy. Well,
you can eat this for us, Jang Tae-ha.

Oh, you should, uh…
You should eat some too.

Ah, okay.

I can eat the chicken neck though, right?

[Eun-sae] Eat some shrimp too.

[g*ng-rok] Oh, long time no see, shrimp.

[Coach] Hey, there's a lot of kimchi.
Eat a bunch of that.

[g*ng-rok] Wow, that's a lot of kimchi.

[music stops]

Why am I still hungry?

Didn't it seem like the menu was designed
just to help with Tae-ha's recovery?

Yeah.

Also, if they're about to break up,
isn't it weird

that she said
she was going to sleep over here?

She could sleep at our place,
and the SES ladies' places too.

-Did she really--
-[Coach] That's what I'm saying.

What's going on? Distant, but still close.

I have a sticky feeling.

Huh?

Huh?

[Eun-sae] Take it off now.

[sultry music plays]

Mm, uh, what now?

We have to disinfect the wound.
Coach said to make sure to do it.

[music fades]

Ah.

Ah, uh… I, uh… I can do it myself.

[sighs] Is your arm six feet long?

How are you going to disinfect
a wound on your back?

No, really. It's okay.

-Ah, hurry up.
-[exhales]

[gentle music plays]

You said you were a good fighter.

Guess you were lying.
Look how bad you got hurt.

Well,

you must have been covering your eyes,
but I fought off, like, 20 guys at first.

Oh, quiet, you.

[Tae-ha coughs]

[Eun-sae sighs]

Anyway, thanks for saving my life.

I mean,

even if we're breaking up,
I'm still grateful.

[chuckles softly]

When we were living together…

I felt so secure.

No matter how dangerous things got,
I was never afraid.

Even the thickest concrete wall

wouldn't stand a chance
against your strong shoulders.

For risking your life to protect me,

I'm truly grateful.

[groans lightly]

[Tae-ha groans lightly]

Just wait a little longer.

From now, I'll protect you, Jang Tae-ha.

I promise I will.

[music fades]

[glass slams table]

[gentle music plays]



[man 1] Keep your guard up. That's it.

[man 2] Move back. Move back.

Okay. Keep your guard up.

Hello, sir!

Welcome. I'm Hong Do-yeop.

I'm new. I'm Baek Sang-gil.
I watched you compete in the Asian Games.

I'm a big fan.

I see.

[music turns melancholy]

[scoffs quietly]

[glass slams table]

[woman] You already lost.

[scoffs]

[liquid pours]

[man] Has it been, what, 30 years now?

I think you drank
about a dozen bottles back then too.

You have a good memory.

[sighs]

Those days…

I used to feel like sh*t.

I thought drinking hard liquor
would wash my pain away.

[man] What is it, then?

Did something make you angry
like old times?

[sighs] Angry?

[music turns stirring]

[sighs] It's not anger.

What would I call it?

It feels a lot shittier than that.

It's the stench of defeat.

It's been a long time
since I've felt this way.

Back then, I didn't know
what to do with this feeling.

I think I know now.

The only thing that can wash away defeat

is winning.

I'm gonna win.

No matter the cost.

[glass slams table]

[breathes shakily]

[music fades]

RETURNED

Uh, hey. I have a lot of underwear here.
Can I get some privacy?

Oh, okay.

[sighs]

[gasps]

[gasps]

There it is!

When you arrive, can you let me know
what her destination was?

Goodness, if you're so worried, why don't
you just take her there yourself?

I want to, but she doesn't want that.

-[driver] Fine.
-Thank you.

[Eun-sae exhales]

I'll be going now.

Take care of yourself.

Go Eun-sae.

I know you said we're breaking up…

but I still like you.

[gentle music plays]

If you're ever in danger,

or scared,

or if anything happens…

if you need help, then,

just call me whenever you need.

You can do that.

I'll go ahead and call when I get there.

But not you.

I'll call Jeong-hwa.

[car door opens]

[engine starts]

[cries]

[cries]

Jang Tae-ha, seriously.

[music fades]

[Tae-ha] She never took out that suit
or the sneakers while she was staying,

but that's all she took?

[Eun-sae] Tell them to send it back now!

There's something important in there.

[cell phone buzzes]

HONG DO-YEOP

-Yes?
-Hey, are you with g*ng-rok by chance?

[Tae-ha] No, I'm not. Why?

I wanted to share some food with him,
but I haven't been able to reach him.

I'll go to his place, then.

[Do-yeop] Yeah, do that.

[Tae-ha] g*ng-rok!

Kim g*ng-rok?

What's going on with him?

[ominous music plays]

[Tae-ha] Baek Sang-gil knows
that you helped me,

and he's going to know that you're here.

Be careful out there.

[gasps]

[tense music plays]

g*ng-rok!

Stay with me. g*ng-rok!

I told you I'm a good fighter.
[gurgles] Why are you here?

[Tae-ha] Hang on.

[dramatic music plays]

Just wait a little longer.
Just until we get to the hospital.
