Why is there so much fog tonight?
Wait, this isn't fog.
This is smoke.
What's going on?
What's wrong with this?
It's even raining now.
It's burning hot!
It's not like I know how to fix this.
I need to know where I am if I'm to call for help.
Are there any buildings nearby?
It's freezing.
Why is there nothing around here?
How is the driver's condition?
And who might you be?
-Was there an accident? -Why is that important right now?
How is the driver's condition?
Mr. Ji?
Are you an idiot?
How could you take the wrong car?
What if you were involved in a car accident?
Well...
I'm more worried about you.
It's pouring, so how did you drive?
How did you drive all the way here?
You're all soaked.
The umbrella.
You're soaking wet. Did anything happen on the way here?
Are you really okay?
How did you come this far through the pouring rain?
I didn't know.
I didn't notice...
that it was raining.
Yes, Ms. Cha.
I'm sorry that I made you worry about me.
The car has been towed.
I've spoken with the author and rescheduled our interview.
I've agreed to meet the author at Heyri over the weekend.
Yes.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Cover yourself.
You're more soaked than I am.
-I'm okay, so why don't you-- -Forget it. Cover yourself.
-But I'm really okay. -Just listen.
Listen to me, will you?
I've turned on the heat, so the seat should get warm soon.
You've got smudge on your face.
I'll take care of it myself.
May I turn on the radio?
Whenever I hold you close
I remember the hard times
Hold me close
Hold me close, I say hold me close
Thank you for giving me a ride.
Ms. Kim Hye-jin.
Get some rest.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Good night then.
Hye-jin...
When the time comes to reveal the truth,
we lack the courage and so we hesitate.
That extended hesitation can end up
taking away our opportunity to tell the truth.
Sung-joon.
Hye-jin.
However, even if we find the courage to tell the truth,
other truths often make us more uncomfortable than the lies.
Did something happen to you?
Ha-ri.
Why is Ha-ri...
Are you all right?
I'm sorry that I couldn't keep my promise.
I've broken another promise with you, Hye-jin.
What's the matter?
Did something happen to you?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Do you mind...
if I just get some rest tonight?
Sure.
You don't look so well.
Go on and get some rest.
I may end up hurting you more.
I know I shouldn't treat you like this.
I promised not to hurt you,
but I'm not sure if I can keep that promise.
Did you know that Mr. Ji has a girlfriend?
And she was beautiful.
Did anything happen on your business trip?
Happen? Like what?
Was it awkward between you and Ji Sung-joon?
Congratulations to the two of you!
SUNG-JOON
This is the final stop.
Miss, aren't you getting off?
This is the last stop.
Sorry?
The last stop.
Where are you, Jackson?
I'm not sure.
I don't know where I am or what I'm doing.
I don't understand anything.
Where did the injured motorcyclist go?
I'm not sure.
What are you doing?
Why did you come all the way here?
Mr. Kim.
Why...
Why is this happening to me?
So what are you going to do now?
Are you going to confront your friend?
Or will you begin by telling the truth to Mr. Ji?
No.
I think...
I'm going to wait a bit longer.
Wait for what?
Ha-ri asked me...
to give her some more time and that she'll tell me everything.
I'm sure that she has her reasons.
Like I had my reasons for lying to Sung-joon,
I'm sure Ha-ri has hers too.
I'm sure of it.
I envy your friend.
You know how it should be.
"Hey! How could you do this to me?
And you call yourself my friend?
You evil witch!"
Most people would react like that.
I envy her for having such a trusting friend like you.
I'm jealous.
She doesn't know how fortunate she is.
It's because she's my Ha-ri.
She's Ha-ri, my best friend.
Let's leave now, Jackson. It's getting late.
Oh, my leg!
What's wrong with your leg?
I must've been squatting for too long.
But where did you get that car?
It looks expensive.
Oh, that?
I borrowed it from a friend.
And what about your motorcycle?
I know, right?
I wonder where it is.
Ouch.
Thanks to you, I'm not stranded and I've made it home safely.
Thank you.
I'm pretty fortunate myself.
You're going off on a tangent, so I don't know what you're referring to.
I have someone like you
who's willing to listen when I need someone to talk to,
so I think I'm fortunate too.
If you know that, you can always throw 10,000 won my way.
Talk is cheap, you know.
There you go joking again!
You should go now.
Thank you again for today.
Hey, Jackson.
Yes?
If everything goes back to normal...
will you go back to Mr. Ji?
Yes, I want to.
I...
like Sung-joon,
and I am confident that he feels the same way about me.
I see.
Go for it then.
I'll see you tomorrow.
What are you doing?
I came home and found this falling apart.
I knew I couldn't convince you to throw it away,
so I'm gluing it together for you.
This won't do.
I think I'm going to have to buy you another pair.
You'd better wear it if I buy it for you.
Don't refuse again.
Sure, Ha-ri.
Do that for me.
What's up with you?
You hate it when I get you things.
You're my friend.
I'd be grateful.
I love it when you listen to me.
Let's go shopping together this time.
Okay, we'll do that.
I'll be waiting.
You're willing to wait now?
What if I never offered to buy you a new pair?
Now that you mentioned it, it was the first time.
It's the first time during a storm that I wasn't reminded of that day.
It's the first time, Mom.
How am I supposed to face him? What will I say to him?
You're here early.
I'm off to buy some coffee if you want to join me.
No, I've already had my coffee this morning.
You can always have another one.
What?
Follow me.
Americano Ristretto with triple shots for me.
And what would you like?
Well, I'll just have anything that tastes sweet.
Since you've already had coffee this morning,
you should try something smoother.
A cup of cream latte, please.
Your order is ready.
Let's stay for a while. We still have some time.
Did you sleep well last night?
Yes.
I didn't sleep well at all.
I kept thinking about yesterday's events.
It's Mr. Kim.
I have something to discuss with him,
so if you'd excuse me...
Mr. Kim!
Jackson, why are you coming from there?
Act like we're talking and keep walking. Be natural.
What?
-What's the matter? -Don't look back!
Ji Sung-joon is back there.
So what?
Well, I don't know what to say to him.
I don't know how to act around him and I'm going nuts.
-So you want me to put on a show? -Yes.
And so?
What happened after that?
Oh my, are you serious?
Congratulations!
Cue laughter.
That's good. Let's go now!
Ki-tae, I need to borrow your tie.
-Ma'am? -Hurry, it's urgent.
Thank you.
Isn't he the guest in room 2009? The buyer from America?
Yes, he has to attend a meeting, but he ruined his tie.
I went to the office and borrowed all of the men's ties.
My back hurts from running around all morning.
Well, you've had your exercise for today.
Too much exercise, if you ask me.
-Why aren't you going inside? -Ji Sung-joon is alone in there.
Does that bother you?
Yes, it drives me up the wall!
For our 20th anniversary issue,
we'll cover the celebration event we had across 12 pages.
Luckily, we were able to interview some of the artists from that day.
Our readers are interested in our backstory as well.
So, we can extend our coverage and cover a few more pages.
Shall we end our meeting here for today?
Tomorrow is the beginning of a well-deserved weekend, so rest well.
I'll see everyone next week.
Good work, everyone.
-Good work, everyone! -Good work, everyone!
Good work!
-Ms. Kim Hye-jin. -Yes?
As soon as you finish with the minutes, bring them to my office.
-Good work today. -Good job.
What was that?
-Are you a bobblehead? -What?
Of course not.
Here are the minutes.
Good day, then.
Pull up a chair and sit down until I'm finished reading it.
There may be some mistakes.
What?
All right.
Can you raise your chair a bit? You seem uncomfortable.
No, I'm really comfortable where I am.
You may be comfortable,
but you're making me uncomfortable.
There. All better now.
About yesterday...
Mr. Kim wanted me
to get some documents for him right away!
Finish reading that and let me know if you find any mistakes.
It's this door.
I see. Excuse me then.
Mr. Ji!
Is he not here?
I'm right here.
Mamma mia!
Why were you standing behind the door?
I was just thinking.
Thinking?
-About me? -No, not about you.
You're brutally honest.
You haven't forgotten
your meeting tomorrow with the Valley representative, have you?
The Ara Hotel, at 7 p.m.
Here.
Be sure to wear this suit.
It's only appropriate to wear their brand.
Yes.
You know,
the thought of meeting with you outside of work and on the weekend
makes me excited for some reason.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Hello?
Am I speaking with Ji Sung-joon?
Who am I speaking with?
Gosh. Ten has updated his social media.
-Really? -Where? Let me see!
He's releasing a new book in three weeks!
Then will it take a few more weeks to reach Korea?
I guess.
Memory?
The title doesn't give anything away.
Ten's new book is titled Memory?
Then, is the main character a flash drive?
Are you being serious?
Oh, right! I've received a call from the publisher
and they'd like Shin-hyuk to cover the review.
They want Shin-hyuk again?
Well, all of his reviews do become a hot topic.
But I'm not really feeling Ten's works.
Why not? Ten is a world-renowned author and already famous.
His fame is what annoys me. It's no fun reviewing famous authors.
I have more fun reviewing new, up-and-coming authors.
You and your rules of fun.
But who is Ten anyway?
Like I said, it's Haruki.
-Maybe Guillaume? -I have no idea.
No.
She's a Korean woman in her forties.
Hello?
Yes?
Who is this, please?
Bonjour, Mr. Jean-Pierre. I'm doing very well.
What language is she speaking now?
I can never tell with her.
It's French.
Our chief editor is the best!
He's making it so obvious that she's his auntie.
Could he be any more obvious?
Including the language at the last event,
how many can she speak?
I thought she was an airhead, but she's actually quite smart.
What's our chief editor's true identity?
I'm so hungry.
Let's break for lunch.
Sure thing.
-What should we eat? -What do you feel like?
There's a new rice noodle place across the street.
Really? Sounds good.
Wait. Where's Shin-hyuk?
Just leave that lunatic behind.
Everyone, just go on ahead. I'll try and call him.
-Hye-jin, we'll be waiting for you! -Don't be too late.
Just leave Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim, where are you--
The patient has gone in for sterilization.
Excuse me?
What patient?
Where is he right now?
The hospital?
Mr. Kim!
Hey, Jackson!
Why did you go to a hospital?
Why were you being sterilized? Are you injured?
It's nothing serious.
Let's go and eat lunch.
Where were you injured?
Is it serious?
I'm about to die of hunger.
Food. Let's eat already.
It must be serious since you saw a doctor.
Is it bad?
Can we go and get some lunch?
I'm craving noodles!
-Tell me what's wrong. -Noodles.
You promised to buy me food anytime.
Well, today's that day.
Today's the last day of my midterms, so I finished early.
Sure, I'm glad you called.
Are you ready to order?
Do you mind if I order?
Yes, get whatever you want.
I'll begin with the Caesar salad with balsamic dressing,
and I'll take the T-bone steak,
but please make sure that mine is heavier with tenderloin.
I'll have my steak medium well-done.
Sure.
Would you like a glass of wine?
No.
Then I'll take a lime mojito.
Yes, ma'am.
You really look like your sister when she was young.
How can you be so identical?
I resent that statement!
You can't really compare Kim Hye-jin with me.
I'm much more attractive!
Kim Hye-jin isn't pretty at all. All she has is brute strength.
Well, there's one other thing she's got going for her.
I don't know about anything else,
but people compliment her on her personality.
You're right.
Your sister is a really good person.
What did you say?
No, nothing. Let's eat.
How do you like working with--
I'm sorry, but I have to take this since it's work related.
Don't worry about me and take the call.
I'm sorry about this.
Yes, this is Ji Sung-joon.
Yes, I've checked the draft,
but there's a bit of a conflict right now.
That's right.
My arm!
My arm...
This isn't going to work.
I think you're going to have to feed me the noodles.
Why won't you tell me how you got injured?
You splashed it on me.
Wipe it off.
Seriously?
How did you hurt yourself?
Did you fall while clowning around again?
Did I?
Or did you get into a fight with someone?
Was that it?
Are you kidding? Stop joking already.
Must I go and get myself some broth in my condition?
Seriously?
Stay here. I'll go and get some.
It's really hard to eat by myself.
Can you give me a radish?
Tastes great, Jackson.
So how did you injure yourself?
I fell off my motorcycle.
Really?
I knew it!
I knew it was dangerous when I saw you zooming around on that thing.
Hand it over.
-What? -What else? The motorcycle key.
Hand it over. I'm confiscating it. Don't ride it anymore.
What are you doing?
Hand it over right now!
Then will you go out with me, Jackson?
What?
If not, stop demanding so much from me. You're giving me false signals.
You and your jokes again.
Lunatic Reporter!
-Why are you always joking around? -It's not a joke.
You should go inside and get back to work.
Thanks for lunch.
Goodbye, Mister.
Let's go together. I'll drop you off.
I'm not a child, okay?
I can go back by myself, so you go your way.
Oh, and you can't tell my sister that we met today.
Got it?
All right.
I'm off now, Mister. Bye.
Yes, be safe.
Outstanding hotelier?
The buyer you provided a spare necktie to this morning
was impressed with your services.
He was able to finish his meeting successfully,
so he nominated you.
It wasn't that big of a deal.
It turns out that he's a director for a fairly large IT firm.
He has already relocated his workshop in Hong Kong
and made reservations at our hotel instead.
It's all thanks to you, Ha-ri.
You can look forward to quite the compensation.
This! Why is this still here?
Mr. Ji is supposed to wear this to the meeting with Valley tomorrow!
I think he left it behind by accident.
He left it behind?
Give Mr. Ji a call right away.
Yes, ma'am.
I think he's in a meeting. He's not answering his phone.
My dears!
Would anyone like to volunteer and take this child over to Mr. Ji?
I'm headed to the Management Team.
-Hello? Yes. -Yes, it's me.
You dear with the onion, come here.
Me?
Here.
Leave now and deliver this child safely to Mr. Ji's home, okay?
Wait. Me?
Yes, of course, you dear.
No matter what obstacles or rejections you face,
you must convince or hassle Mr. Ji to go to the Valley meeting
with this suit on tomorrow night.
What am I going to do?
Deliver this to the man living in unit 502
and tell him that Han Seol from the office stopped by to give him this.
Remember the name Han Seol, okay?
Han Seol.
Did you change your name?
Chief Editor Kim wanted me to deliver this to you.
I was already informed.
Then I'll see you on Monday.
Why don't you stay for some coffee?
No, I'm fine.
Do I make you that uncomfortable?
Of course not.
You can't stand to have one cup of coffee with me?
It's not that I don't want to.
Then come on inside.
It's late, so I prepared a light-roast.
That...
Isn't it piping hot?
No, I'm fine. My food pipe is indestructible.
-Thank you for the drink. -Sit down.
I have something to tell you.
Sure.
Have another cup,
but sip on it this time.
-Yesterday-- -I know.
You were worried about your coworker.
If I knew one of my team members were in danger,
I would've done the same thing.
That wasn't it.
I went there because it was you, Ms. Kim Hye-jin.
To be honest, you annoyed me in the beginning.
I don't know when it started to change.
But I started to enjoy
talking to you and spending time with you.
The more I became concerned about you,
I felt like I was deceiving someone
which is why I tried harder to hate you.
But as of yesterday,
I've come to terms with my feelings.
I care about you...
very much.
Goodness.
Didn't it burn you?
I'm fine.
This won't do. Wait right here.
You should change into this.
No, I'm fine.
How are you going to go back looking like that?
Change into this.
I'm back from my interview.
-You're back. -Welcome back.
Did Jackson leave? I don't see her.
She's probably at Mr. Ji's house by now.
What do you mean?
Why would she go there?
The chief editor ordered her to deliver something to him.
I don't think I could've handled it if I had to go.
Don't even say that!
I don't even want to imagine it.
-My goodness. -I'm about to lose my appetite.
I'm about to have indigestion.
Is something wrong? Why aren't you coming out?
No. I'm coming out now.
The sweater is too big.
I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.
I'm not after anything.
I just wanted to tell you how I feel.
In the beginning,
you resembled someone I used to know, so I was drawn to you.
Although it's impossible,
it felt like we've known each other for a long time.
I don't know why, but I'm weirdly honest around you.
It's like I want to tell you about myself...
and like I've finally found someone I can talk to.
What's the matter?
Did I make a mistake?
No.
Something is in my eye.
I should get going now.
Wait. Let me give you a ride.
I'll go and get my key.
Why did you leave without...
Why are you here again?
I know, right? I guess I just ended up here.
I was in the area and I was thirsty.
I was hoping for a beer.
Is the beer I bought still here?
Oh, here it is.
What are you?
Are you Kim Hye-jin's guardian?
Why do you keep following her around?
I've agreed to be her older brother so I guess that includes guardianship.
And what about you?
What are you to Kim Hye-jin?
A knight who comes through for her on rainy days?
You looked pretty cool that night.
It was like a scene from a movie.
At least I don't cover up my feelings with ridiculous jokes...
like a coward.
I guess I'll go home and have the beer.
See you next time.
I get that he doesn't want to flaunt his wealth,
but why must we always eat at these places?
My nose is running now.
You must not like spicy food.
We shouldn't have come
although I'm a regular here.
I guess I'll come here with someone else.
What? They call me the chili killer!
Watch me eat this.
I'm loving this!
It's so good.
I don't think so.
Your nose is all runny from the spice.
My nose is normally runny.
Watch me. The soup's the best part.
Right? I can eat this stuff.
So bring me here again, okay?
Don't bring anyone else.
Okay.
Are you done?
-Yes. -Should we go?
Let's go.
What are you doing? That's dirty!
It's not dirty.
It came from you.
Let's go.
Thank you!
Hey, what did you mean back there?
Do you like me?
Yes.
Didn't you know?
Then what does that make us? Are we going steady?
Okay.
Then kiss me.
Okay.
And hold my hand.
Okay.
Did you know that you look like a loner from afar?
I'm not one to involve myself in other people's matters,
but I'll do it this one last time.
She knows everything.
I'm talking about Hye-jin.
She's willing to wait for you
until you're ready to tell him.
She thinks you must have had your reasons.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Have you had dinner?
Of course.
Don't you know what time it is?
Okay then.
Hye-jin.
Yes?
By tomorrow,
things will be back to normal.
Give me until tomorrow.
Just one more day.
Then,
everything will be back to normal.
Thank you, Hye-jin.
Thanks for waiting for me...
and for letting me tell the truth myself.
Thank you.
That will conclude our interview.
Thank you very much for your time. I had a great time.
I think I enjoyed it even more.
Your questions had a refreshing twist to them.
You're very well-versed in fairy tales.
You must've prepared hard for this interview.
To be honest, I've always wanted to be a fairy tale writer.
It's why I envy you for being able to write such stories.
Oh my, is that so?
Then you should pursue it.
How could I?
It's too late for that.
I started after I had my first child.
I'd like to give you a book.
-Really? -It's not a best-seller,
but for the occasion.
-Here you go. -Thank you very much!
THE STORY OF PATJUI
TO HYE-JIN, IN HOPES THAT YOU KEEP ON DREAMING. LEE MI-EUN
EXHIBITION OF AUGUSTE RENOIR
-Hey. -Hi.
Are you here to see the artwork?
Yes.
I was on my way back from Heyri
and I remembered seeing a poster about this.
How was your first interview?
Was it successful?
I hope so.
Anyway, I have plenty of materials for my article.
That man has a scarf like ours.
You're right!
Mister, is that for your runny nose too?
No.
Kids, you probably don't know this,
but he's dressing in style.
Not everyone can pull it off you know.
Lady, why are you taking his side?
Do you love him?
You must have a crush on him!
That's absurd! Now, go away.
I'm sorry about that.
-Let's move on. -Just go!
People seem to laugh at you every time you wear that.
-Seriously? -I was only joking.
It's nice.
Excuse me, can you take a picture of us?
Yes, no problem.
All right.
One, two, three.
One more.
One, two, three.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
Why don't we take one for you too?
What?
No, there's no need. We're fine.
Here you go.
Get ready.
One, two, three.
Why don't you smile some more? I'm taking another one.
One, two, three.
If you're going home, I'll drop you off.
It's on the way to my meeting venue anyway.
You go on ahead.
While I'm here,
I want to stop by the bookstore before heading back to the office.
I'll need to review the interview tapes
and organize my thoughts.
Okay then.
I'll see you on Monday.
Mr. Ji.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
But it's Sunday tomorrow.
I won't be at the office.
Still...
I'll see you tomorrow.
Hello?
Sung-joon, it's me.
Do you...
have time later tonight?
Today?
I'm heading to a meeting right now.
Then what time does your meeting end?
I think it'll be pretty late.
Why don't we...
No, I should meet with you today.
I have something...
to tell you too.
Mr. Kim?
He must've been working this weekend.
Mr. Kim.
How was your business trip?
I almost died from stopping by at all of those historic houses.
But what are you doing here on the weekend?
I had my first interview today.
I'm going to transcribe the recording.
Oh, the interview at Yadong-dong that was postponed?
Yes.
We thought you got into an accident.
Do you have any idea how worried we were?
Good thing that lunatic Shin-hyuk went after you.
It would've been a disaster had something happened.
He was gloating and freeloading off you again, wasn't he?
What are you talking about?
Where did Mr. Kim go?
He went to bring you back from Yadong-dong.
He thought you were in an accident and darted out faster than Usain Bolt.
Didn't you meet him?
And what about your motorcycle?
I know, right?
I wonder where it is.
I fell off my motorcycle.
Let's go and get some food. This place is the best!
Where are you going?
Aren't you hungry?
Wait.
Mr. Kim!
What's up, Jackson?
What are you doing here on the weekend?
Were you there that day?
I don't think I understand your question.
At Yadong-dong.
I heard that you were there.
Did you get into a motorcycle accident while on your way there?
Did you get injured while coming to get me?
Yes,
my meeting ended early, so I'm heading out.
Where are you?
I stepped outside to take care of something.
I'll be at the place on time.
Yes, see you then.
Okay, I'll see you there.
Answer me. Were you injured because of me?
Am I right?
Yes, you're right.
I got injured on the way to find you.
Why? Does that burden you?
Well, I hope it does.
I hope you feel bad about it.
Because I...
I want you to care about me too, Jackson.
But Mr. Kim...
I, Kim Hye-jin, promise to grant Kim Shin-hyuk three favors!
Gosh.
I guess I'll use...
my final wish today.
My final wish is...
this.
I don't want to be your friend.
I will never be just your friend.
Ha-ri, thanks for coming even though it's not your shift.
Get home safely.
Of course I should be here.
-Good night. -You too.
-Ms. Min Ha-ri. -Yes?
Sung-joon.
When the time comes to reveal the truth,
we lack the courage and so we hesitate.
That extended hesitation can end up
taking away our opportunity to tell the truth.
Min Ha-ri.
Who are you really?
Min Ha-ri, who are you really?
If you can't go to him or leave him,
just come to me instead.
I was actually there to meet you that day.
If I hadn't hidden from you back then,
things would've been much better.
I missed you dearly,
Kim Hye-jin.
