(Staff ensured the animals' safety in the filming of this drama.)
Hey, slow down!
Sorry. Are you all right?
If you need to use the toilet, just pull over.
No. I'm fine.
You don't seem fine. You're scaring me.
We're here.
You'd better hope you didn't get a speeding ticket.
I'll just go and grab my files. Go use the toilet.
I'm good.
Hey, I'll give you a ride.
I'll get going first today.
- Where are you going? - See you later.
- Hey, what about my car key? - It's inside!
What's gotten into him?
(Sunah Billiard Hall)
What is it? Do you want to go for a walk?
Can't we take a day off today?
Fine. Let's go for a walk.
Let's go.
Mr. An?
What brings you here at this late hour?
I came too late, right?
No.
Everyone left.
I was about to walk Gyeoul.
I see. Then can I join you if your route is toward my house?
Sure.
By the way,
why are you sweating so much?
Oh, this?
It's pretty hot today.
Is it?
You really go for a run every morning that early?
You have such a healthy habit.
My body just wakes up around that time.
I have trouble falling asleep.
Then you should never open your eyes.
When you keep your eyes closed, you can fall back asleep.
With that method, I slept up to 14 hours.
- Fourteen hours? - Yes.
But I did have a regular sleep cycle when I lived in Seoul.
Gosh. I'm really envious, though.
I see.
I have to go this way now.
Get home safely.
- Get home safely. - Okay.
Bye, Gyeoul.
Mr. An.
Well,
it's nothing.
Bye.
- Okay. Bye. - Bye.
Let's go.
Gosh. I can't even wake up early in the morning.
Right, Gyeoul?
Hello.
Yeo Reum.
I decided to exercise too.
Really?
Slow down.
Or you'll get tired fast.
By the way, I don't even hear your breathing.
(Angok Downtown Area: Start, finish)
No. I need to go to sleep.
Lie down. You should go to sleep too.
I can fall asleep.
No. There should be some soju around here.
Yeo Reum.
Hello.
You really came.
Exercising early in the morning was nice.
Then do you want to meet up...
in front of the library every day and go for a jog?
- Every day? - I also...
came up with different routes for our jogs.
I see.
But since it's early in the morning, a short route will be good. Right?
- Of course. - Okay.
By the way, please don't mind me.
You can just stick to your route, Mr. An.
I'm Dae Bum.
Pardon?
My name is Dae Bum,
Yeo Reum.
I see.
Okay.
Gosh. I'm so tired.
I think he might like this.
Yeo Reum.
Are you inside, Yeo Reum?
Ma'am.
Gosh. There you are.
Hello.
Ma'am. What brings you all the way here?
Come inside for a bit.
I have to get going soon.
Well,
I have a favour to ask you.
What is it? Tell me.
A friend of mine has...
a house in Dongcheon Valley.
Could you go there and spend some time with Bom?
Me?
My little girl went through such a traumatic incident.
As her grandma, I couldn't do much for her.
That's not a favour then. You're giving me a present.
I'm so glad to hear that.
Thanks to you, I'll get to go on summer vacation.
Thank you.
- Dae Bum. - Yes.
Dae Bum, hurry over here.
Look at this.
("Physicists Shocked by a New Take on Quantum Mechanics")
Hey, your professor is amazing. He's awesome.
Sure.
- Come here. - What?
- Come here. What is this? - What was that?
What? What is it?
There was sand on you.
I see.
Do you think my hands are that dirty? Don't make a fuss.
Sorry.
Hello.
Yeo Reum.
Are you leaving already?
Yes. I see.
Right.
You're having dinner today, right? Are you busy?
Why do you ask? Are you going to watch a movie?
- A movie? - What?
Oh, I mean...
No. Nothing.
There was a movie I wanted to watch.
It came out today.
I see.
- Do you want to watch it... - Do you want to...
Do you want to watch it together if you don't mind?
Shall we?
- They must be heavy. Let me help. - It's okay.
- No. Let me help. - They're heavy.
- This is... - I'm sorry.
The books are heavy.
- Can you just take this? - I see.
Bom, what are you doing during the summer break?
I don't know. Mind your own business.
- Yeo Reum. Hi. - Yeo Reum.
Are you two playing hooky?
What? What are you talking about? Our summer break starts today.
- Already? - Yes.
Gosh. Well, I've been on a break the whole time.
What a shame, though.
I was going to start attending my classes more diligently.
Then why do you keep smiling?
Mind your own business.
Right. I saw my grandmother...
packing stuff up for you this morning.
Right. She gave it to me.
Did she say something else?
She told me to go on a trip with you.
Really? A trip?
Really? I've been wanting to go on a trip too.
But where? To the beach? The mountain?
Your grandmother said she knew a friend...
who had a house in Dongcheon Valley.
Dongcheon? Where is that?
That's not important. What should I pack first?
Hey, why are you assuming that you're coming with us?
Right! We should invite Dae Bum too.
- I'll go and talk to him. - Wait.
Dae Bum!
What is this? Your lounge?
Sorry.
Hey, Dongcheon Valley looks awesome. Look.
Whatever. I can go and look at it in person. Why look at it now?
Hey, I said I was good.
Hey.
I have plans today.
You guys should go without me.
Plans? Who could you be hanging out with other than us?
Okay, Yeo Reum. We'll get going then.
- Get home safely. - Good luck.
- Hey, what do you want to eat? - How about some meat?
Let's grab something to eat.
Sorry, Ji Young. I have plans today.
With Yeo Reum?
Yes.
- An Dae Bum. - Yes?
I'm not just a friend to you. Right?
Right.
It hurts.
I'm hurting too, because of you.
(Angok Public Library)
- Sure. - Did you have to wait a long time?
No. I just got here too.
What is this?
Darn it.
Seriously. You didn't even check if your light was on or not.
Goodness. You're so scatterbrained. Come on.
Don't turn off the ignition right away.
You really should be grateful to me.
Who would come here in the middle of the night to jump-start your car?
Besides, you could've called your insurance. Why did you call me?
You're weird too.
Why do you look so serious?
Are you crying, Ji Young?
Hey, did something happen?
I don't know. I'm so pathetic!
Okay, Ji Young. Just let it out. Then you'll feel better.
Seriously. This is so annoying.
Gosh.
I'm fine. Go get me some tissue.
Tissue? Is it in your car?
- Check the bottom. - Here.
Enjoy your movie.
Here.
You can't enter.
Why not?
You booked tickets for next week, not today.
This movie comes out next week.
There's no way.
You can check the date on the ticket.
You're right.
How did I miss this?
- I'm sorry. - No. It's okay.
Well,
then do you want to go and get fried chicken and beer?
Fried chicken and beer?
Actually,
I was going to ask you if you wanted fried chicken and beer earlier.
- Sounds good. - Really?
I'll look for a place.
Well,
if we go that way,
we'll find an old restaurant with good fried chicken.
If we go that way,
we'll find a clean and spacious restaurant.
But their fried chicken is average.
Over there, there's a restaurant with outdoor seating.
And the reviews said their beer was good.
You must have looked up restaurants in advance.
Yes. Just in case.
I want to go...
to the third one.
The likes and dislikes are greater for beer.
I see.
How far is that restaurant?
About ten minutes.
That's pretty close.
Why are you running?
It takes ten minutes if we run.
- Do you want to walk? - No. Let's run.
It takes 30 minutes if we walk.
Then let's make that five minutes.
This is so good.
Their beer is amazing.
How did people think of eating fried chicken with beer?
Seriously.
Whoever paired these up together first should win an award.
You can use these.
Thanks.
It's so good.
Right. Yeo Reum.
Here's what I brought.
(Myeongju)
What's that?
Youth in Angok. This came out today.
No way.
Don't tell me you've already read it.
No. Not yet.
That's good.
You really shouldn't read it. My writing is awful.
No, it wasn't.
What? You said you didn't read it!
I was talking about the photos, not the writing.
I took one for myself,
so the first thing I'd be doing at home is reading this.
No. You can't read this.
You'll be so disappointed. I'm serious.
What was that?
Gosh. That *.
How dare you trip me over? Darn it.
Hey.
- What is this? He's so loud. - Gosh.
Are you all right?
- He's such a nuisance. - I know, right?
Let go of me! You little...
- Hey. - Look at him.
I served in the Marines.
I'm fine only because I put my hand down to support myself when I fell.
If it were other people, they would've hurt their heads.
You'd better watch out!
Let go of me.
Did something happen?
If you tell other people about this, I'll kill you.
Hey, who would believe the mighty Ji Young actually cried?
Thanks.
What?
You're the only one I have. Seriously.
Bye.
Hey, Ji Young. Talk to me if there's a problem.
Your existence itself is a problem.
Gosh. She must be feeling okay now.
She's back to herself, the ice queen.
Bye.
Drive carefully.
I'm leaving.
(Angok Public Library)
So I'm the only one she has?
Am I the only one you have?
- We'll pay now. Yes. - Did you enjoy our food?
- How much is it? - No. Let me pay for this.
No.
Your tab was already settled...
by the man who fell earlier.
Really?
Gosh. The beer was great.
And we had the fried chicken for free.
I love it.
By the way, do you not get angry?
I've never seen you get mad.
Well...
You could've gotten mad earlier too.
Do you not get angry by nature? Or do you suppress your anger?
I just try to put myself in their shoes.
Well, that's all.
That helps me go on with my life.
I see.
You're on a different level.
That's not easy for me to do.
It takes some time to get to our neighbourhood, right?
To keep ourselves entertained, how about a Q and A session?
A Q and A session?
I might be asking all the questions, though.
Sure.
What's your favourite fruit?
Apples for me.
What? That was fast.
Mine is strawberry.
I see. Strawberry.
Then...
Here's the next question.
Who's your favourite author?
Well, that's a tough one.
The author that just came to your mind.
Mine is Kim Ae Ran.
I see.
Who is yours?
Mine is Carl Sagan.
I truly enjoyed "Murmurs of Earth."
That suits you.
Then here's the last question.
What's your favourite season?
I like Yeoreum.
I mean, summer, the season.
I know.
- Summer is my favourite season too. - I see.
Then can I ask you 1 more question? Just 1 more.
Yes, of course.
You know, when we first met...
How come you never talked to me?
Oh, that.
Well, the thing is...
I can't initiate a conversation with people I'm not familiar with.
That's why.
Oh! Then I guess it means...
you feel quite comfortable around me now.
You talked a lot today.
Is that why? My throat is a little sore now.
You didn't talk that much.
(Sun Ah)
What is that?
Are you all right?
I'm sorry, Yeo Reum.
Dae Bum.
Wait, Dae Bum!
(Did you kill)
Hey, you'd better tell the truth!
I don't know anything.
Hey, how dare you lie to us? Don't you know where you are now?
Dae Bum.
You've been doing so well. Don't pull this on us all of a sudden.
You said you saw your dad running away on your way home.
Is it not true?
Dae Bum, look at me.
Hey, look at me!
Be honest. You're happy that Sun Ah is dead, aren't you?
You didn't like your sister.
Right?
I guess you're right.
He's happy that his sister is dead.
No, I am not.
You're wrong!
No.
Dae Bum.
An Dae Bum.
- Hey, you. - Hi.
Who rolled up the shutters?
- Was it you, Mr. Kwak? - No, it wasn't me.
Hey, pull it down.
(Sun Ah)
- Who is this psycho? - This, again?
"Sun Ah."
(Did you kill)
"Did you kill?"
What? Sun Ah's father killed her.
Father, we should report this to the police at once.
- If not, something worse might... - Hey.
Then rumours will spread throughout the county.
Mr. Kwak, is that important now?
Gosh, I can't believe this.
What did I do to Sun Ah and her family in my past life?
Goodness. Please, Father.
Dae Bum, this punk.
I've been feigning ignorance because I feel bad for him.
He's the victim.
What?
He's the biggest victim here.
Okay, I'm glad you brought that up.
Did I kill his sister and mother?
Look what happened to this building...
because of that darn family.
I am the victim here, okay?
- Gosh, Father. - Sir, please calm down.
Then I'll...
install a surveillance camera up there first.
Okay, good idea! A surveillance camera.
I should've installed one long ago.
Thanks, Moo Chul. You're the best.
My goodness.
Yeo Reum.
If you happen to see anyone suspicious, call me right away.
Okay.
Hello, Professor Lee.
This is Reporter Park Chul Hyun from Tomorrow Daily.
I'm not doing interviews. Sorry, I have to go.
Wait. One moment, sir.
In the scientific community...
I'm sorry, I'm busy at the moment. I have to go.
Wait, Professor Lee.
Professor.
I think you need to see this.
This was posted on the anonymous forum.
What is this?
It says you paid your student to steal his idea.
Everyone's talking about it right now.
I stole the idea?
My goodness. They don't even know what happened.
If Dae Bum doesn't come forward,
things will get out of hand.
The chancellor would like to hold an ethics committee hearing.
An ethics committee hearing?
Then what will happen?
If things go south, Professor Lee may be ostracised by academia.
Selling an idea for money will be seen as a serious problem.
Dae Bum might get roped into it and suffer the consequences too...
Dae Bum too?
Yes.
That's why Dae Bum should attend the ethics committee hearing...
and tell them the truth.
Please let him know.
Okay.
I'll talk to Dae Bum again and call you back.
Hello.
Where is Dae Bum?
"Dae Bum?"
He's not here yet.
By any chance...
Did something happen between you two last night?
Well...
Hey, why do you get so enthusiastic about stuff like this?
Are you planning someone's 60th birthday party, not a day trip?
Sorry, I went overboard while shopping.
This looks like a lot of food, but we'll finish it. You know that.
Goodness.
Hey, where are you going?
What? Let's go inside. It's here.
- This house? - Yes.
Come on in.
You can put it over here.
Hey, is this really your place?
No, it's my aunt's place.
Our homeroom teacher?
You knew?
Hey, the entire school knows except for you and her.
The two of you always meet up behind the teachers' room.
So everyone knows.
But our homeroom teacher...
I mean, your aunt. I didn't know she was this well-off.
Well, it's a long story. Come here.
My dad bought her this house so she'd keep a watchful eye on me.
Sit here.
It must be pretty frustrating to live with your aunt.
She doesn't live here.
What? So you have this huge house all to yourself?
To tell you the truth, I only use the first floor.
Why?
I don't know. Relax and make yourself at home.
No, it's okay. Let's do it together.
All right, thanks.
Hey, what is this?
This is a huge fridge. Why is it completely empty?
I thought you liked to cook.
Cooking is only fun when there's someone to taste what you make.
Usually, I just eat things that are quick and easy.
Hey, Bom. If you want to help me, can you peel the pears?
Hey, I think someone is here.
- Oh. - It's a beautiful house.
Hi.
Auntie, what brings you by?
I told you that your new native English teacher would be here today.
What is all this? And what's she doing here?
Auntie, this is...
Jae Hoon, let's talk.
- Thomas. - Yes?
Wait a minute. Sorry.
- No problem. Take your time. - Thank you.
Sorry, Bom. I'll be right back.
Heo Jae Hoon.
What's with you, seriously?
- Hi. - How many times have I told you?
Think about your parents. You cannot do this!
You must become successful, you brat!
Get up. Let me take you to the hospital.
Get up already.
No, I'm fine.
All right.
I don't care whether you die or not. Suit yourself.
I've warned you. I won't repeat myself.
Jae Hoon, I'll get going.
Hey, listen carefully.
I don't know what you're up to.
But if you call him out again, I won't let it slide.
Jae Hoon.
Do you not like hanging out with me?
What?
I do. I like it. It's my favourite thing to do.
See? He's the one who keeps following me around.
You little... Hey, do you want to get expelled?
Wait up, Bom.
Heo Jae Hoon! Where do you think you're going?
I'll tell your dad everything.
Do whatever you want.
Hey, Thomas.
She is a very bad auntie.
I heard everything too.
Thomas!
What?
- Hey, Nurse Kim. - Yes.
- Give him an injection. - Sure.
Stay for the injection.
- Okay. - This way, please.
How is he?
Trauma is...
You may think that you've forgotten it all,
but your body is smart. It doesn't forget easily.
You know he needs to rest his mind, right?
Yes.
Just let him do whatever he wants.
Let's wait and see.
Lie down comfortably.
He's not doing well at all, is he?
That's right. It's not looking good.
I'll increase his dosage. Tell him to take his medication on time.
Okay, I will.
All right. Anyway,
when are you two getting married?
Next patient can come in.
- Okay. - Please. It's not like that.
- He doesn't know how to show it. - No, stop.
By the way...
Who wrote that on the building?
(Sun Ah)
Sun Ah is dying.
Kill Sun Ah. Sun Ah is dying.
Kill Sun Ah. Sun Ah is dying!
- She is not Sun Ah, Geun Ho! Okay? - No...
Please. Snap out of it, please?
Geun Ho, look at me. Look at Mom.
If you do it again, I will call the cops.
Cops are scary!
Geun Ho!
No! Cops are scary.
- Sun Ah is in danger. - It's okay. Calm down.
All right, Geun Ho.
Ji Young.
You...
and my sister were friends.
Was it nice?
Friends? As if.
She always bossed me around.
I didn't like her.
Because of her,
I always got yelled at by Dad.
(Sunah Billiard Hall)
What brings you here?
You've set this place up like this.
I'm going to sit down.
Well...
How's Dae Bum?
Dae Bum? He got a sedative injection at the hospital.
I just took him home and made sure he went to bed.
Hospital?
Yeo Reum.
So you heard about everything that happened here in the past.
Yes, Bom told me.
When Dae Bum's sister died here...
Did you also hear who found her first?
It was Dae Bum.
The same goes for when his mother took her own life.
He found her first.
At the moment,
the fact that you now live here is painful enough for him...
because it must keep bringing back old memories.
He thinks he killed his entire family.
And about Bom's hospital bill.
Do you know who paid for it?
Bom's hospital bill? That's...
Because you were so stressed out about it,
Dae Bum contacted his former professor...
and sold a paper he wrote in the past...
so he could take care of it.
Because of that, the professor is in a pickle at the moment.
If Dae Bum doesn't go to Seoul immediately,
so many things will get messed up.
How did this happen?
Yeo Reum.
Do you have feelings for Dae Bum?
- Sorry? - I'm not even curious anymore.
I don't care how you feel about him.
I just hate seeing his situation get worse because of you.
I really can't stand it.
Do you know how much he struggled to get to where he is today?
Every night, he went out and ran because he couldn't fall asleep.
He was always alone.
He held out like that.
He struggled and held out with all his might.
But all his efforts went down the drain today.
Once he confines himself to his room like this...
I don't...
even know when or if he will come out of his room again.
I'm sorry.
No. Anyone can say sorry.
Yeo Reum.
Can you take care of him?
Can you take care of Dae Bum for the rest of his life?
I can.
I've been taking care of him and will continue to do so.
To you, this may just be...
a fleeting summer romance in a beach town.
But to me and Dae Bum, this isn't like that.
Please don't get the wrong idea.
If I got the wrong idea, then help me.
Okay?
If you don't want to leave this town,
help me just this once so that Dae Bum can leave.
I beg you.
Help me just this once.
Will you be okay?
When I get home, I'll beg my aunt to forgive me.
That's the Jae Hoon I know.
Thanks, Bom.
For what?
For everything.
I envy you for being the way you are.
You envy me?
I envy you.
- Me? - Yes.
Your family is well-off.
Oh, I see.
But I feel like you have a lot more than I do.
You have Ha Neul and your grandma.
Hey. By the way, what if our aunt really gets me expelled?
Persuade her not to when you get home.
If she says that, I'll say I'll quit school too.
Had I not moved into the billiard hall...
You wouldn't have had to go through something like that.
You know that it's not your fault.
I really am happy that you came to Angok.
I don't want to be sad anymore.
Did that punk write that stuff on the building?
We've put up a surveillance camera.
Who are you?
So we'll catch him.
