Jinwoo.
Are you okay?
We promised to meet on Children's Day, but you broke the promise.
I can't stop thinking about
how she stared at
students going to school
on our way to the hospital.
School's supposed to be no big deal. I feel so bad.
She left before she could realize that dream,
and it breaks my heart.
I'm sure Yuna was happy.
She could dream of something until her last breath.
You really think so?
Good. That's good.
- I'm sorry, but I have to go. - Oh, no. Don't be.
I'm sorry I have to go now.
You should open your bar. Go now.
Oh, right. What about your class?
I'm taking a few days off. I can make up for it later.
I'll leave it to you.
Bye.
There's no space to sit.
Sit here.
It's a three-leaf clover!
A three-leaf clover.
Wow!
I'm cold.
- How do you feel? - Good.
Sir.
I'm sorry I'm late.
It's me, Myeongju.
Let me point out two things.
When Myeongju comes in, call her dad right away.
- Okay. - And the care worker
stays in that position at the end. Not here.
What? Was it here yesterday?
When was it drawn?
Who is that? She's pretty.
Hey.
We'll be late. Let's go.
Hurry.
Mundane life for someone
can remain an unfulfilled dream to others.
I wonder what Yuna wanted to say
on her way to school with her friends.
Only when you take a pause
and gaze...
there's a voice you can hear.
Yuna, let's go.
I hope somebody cares
to take a moment and listen.
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
YOU TOLD ME TO TELL YOU WHEN I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME
Did something happen?
Were you taken aback
by my messages?
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm fine.
It's quite late.
You should go.
I PROMISED TO BE THERE WITH YOU WHEN YOU HAVE A HARD TIME
I just
texted you because I was thinking about you.
The text was just an excuse.
I was so excited
that I landed a role with an actual line
for the first time today.
But when I was doing it,
I was so nervous
and all over the place.
And I'm not sure
if I did well.
So I guess I felt somewhat sad.
Still, I managed not to break down...
I'm sorry.
I'm talking too much, aren't I?
I'M SURE YOU DID WELL. HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD REST.
Thanks to you, I feel
a lot better.
Thank you.
EP 04 EMPATHY
TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
- Hey, morning. - Good morning.
Hey.
I just saw Mr. Cha.
He's back from his leave.
Is that so?
I didn't expect that reaction.
What did you expect?
"Oh, really?" Maybe not that much, but you're so nonchalant.
You already knew.
Want some coffee?
I came to ask you something.
Would you like to work as a guide at our center on weekends?
Oh. As a guide?
No? You don't want it?
Well, I...
I'll do it.
Okay. Thank you, ma'am.
But which part were you so worried about?
I'm 33 but still haven't decided on my career,
so my self-esteem's dropping.
Be understanding.
Sure, ma'am.
I should kiss up to you.
It's such an honor to have you as a part-timer.
Could you visit me with your ID card later today, please?
Should I roll out the red carpet for you?
Ms. Jung Moeun is entering!
God, you're a female version of Modam.
That was out of line.
I take it back.
I'll take the job, so don't hire someone else.
I FOUND SOMETHING THAT CAUGHT MY EYE!
- ALREADY? - YOU DID?
YES
WHY DOES SHE CAPTURE MY HEART? BECAUSE SHE'S PRETTY
I'LL GO OUT WITH HER NEXT YEAR
DREAM ON, YOUR STANDARDS ARE TOO HIGH
SHE CAN USE SIGN LANGUAGE
Still 20 minutes left.
- Here. - ID card. I'll make a copy and give back.
- Okay. - Your job is simple.
Check the audiences' tickets and guide them.
Come early this weekend. I'll explain in detail.
Okay. Thank you.
I'll make a copy of it and give it back.
Hey.
Hello.
Well...
Have a nice day!
Right. Bye.
Mm!
There's definitely something.
- Looking for something? - Yes, my dress shoes.
You have a date?
Date, my foot. I'm working part-time at your center.
They told me to wear dress shoes. You know the ones I wear often, right?
Yes. Wait, maybe you threw them out with your flight attendant uniform.
I wore them often, so I wouldn't have thrown them out.
It's strange. Where did they go?
She has a date.
DAREUM EXHIBITION GUIDE
Could you leave your beverage here, please?
Okay.
Thank you.
From the 13th bar.
Okay, good. I'll just check a few things.
Well, in the 17th bar,
when you go from the first note to the second,
could you make it sound smoother?
- And-- - Did you order something?
Give me your car keys.
And when you go from the 18th bar to the 19th,
I think it'd be better if you could put in deeper emotions.
- Yes? - Where are you?
- You have my car keys. - Oh, I'm here.
- What on earth are you doing? - Are you asking me?
Sir.
You booked it a month ago.
We called you yesterday, but you didn't answer.
Should I put it here?
JOHAN AND MISO'S 1ST ANNIVERSARY
Oh...
No, it's okay.
It's all done. You just need to sign here.
Okay.
So you like this kind of thing.
Your taste is kind of beautiful.
It's pretty, right? I put in extra efforts.
Because he wrote in remarks
that his girlfriend loves flashy things and loves to get attention.
Hmm.
Oh... The one you broke up with a while ago...
I see.
You're done, right?
- Yes, it's done. - Then, you should...
Happy anniversary... No.
- Goodbye. - Thank you.
I think it looks pretty.
Can I borrow it for two days?
Could you please take a step back?
Thank you.
I wore dress shoes for the first time in a while,
so I got a scrape on my heel.
I work part-time at the exhibition.
I had a make-up class.
M-A-K-E-U-P.
"Make-up." Ah.
Sorry?
Mm? Thank you.
Did you get home safely that night?
Did you sleep well that night?
Yes.
Though my eyes were all puffy the next day.
I never cry, even in front of my mom.
So I don't know why I burst into tears there that night.
Isn't it funny?
YOU CAN CRY MORE LOUDLY NEXT TIME. SINCE LOUD SOUNDS DON'T BOTHER ME
You can cry more loudly next time.
Since loud sounds don't bother me.
Okay.
Mm...
Thank you for listening to me.
TRUTH...
TRUTH BE TOLD, I DIDN'T CATCH MUCH.
EVEN THOUGH I TRIED MY BEST TO CATCH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Huh...
You tried...
IT WAS DARK AND YOU WERE TALKING FAST,
SO IT WAS HARD TO READ YOUR LIPS.
Mm.
I feel more grateful.
Thank you for trying
to listen
and do best
you can.
Can I ask what happened?
IN THE ORPHANAGE I LIVED IN WHEN I WAS YOUNG...
A GIRL PASSED AWAY... THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED
Oh.
It must be
very painful.
Sorry?
Where are you going?
"Going"?
Yes, I'm going home.
Why don't we have dinner?
What's wrong with him?
Well, I don't know him.
Hey, I came to pick you up. I would've missed you if I came late.
What?
Mr. Cha Jinwoo?
Hello.
We met once because of my painting.
Oh, because of your painting?
He's my friend.
That's right. We're friends.
Let's go eat something nice.
- In that thing? No way. - What's the matter?
You have other plans?
Well, no.
I don't, but...
Then what? Mr. Cha.
I'll see you again next time.
Hey, we should go now. Let's go.
- I said no. - Come on.
Darn it.
Hey.
What were you saying earlier?
Your friend's waiting.
You should go.
Jung Moeun!
- Fine! - Hurry up!
Bye, then.
Unbelievable.
Wow, what a small world.
How do you know him?
Well, I just happen to know him.
But then, it's the same for me, too.
- Hey. - Yes?
What on earth did you do to your car? What are you up to?
Don't get excited and don't forget we're friends.
I understand,
so just close the roof. It's so embarrassing.
- No. - Why?
I want you to be embarrassed.
Oh!
You're so annoying!
I'm embarrassed as heck too.
So why did you do this?
It's a long story. That's why I'm treating you.
Let's get going.
Yes, ma'am!
Use your back, yes.
Three.
Good. No, don't stop. It'll cause muscle loss.
Now, go up. Use your back.
Okay, good. All right.
What? Go down. Now.
- Go down. - Wait, sir.
What? Sit properly. No, no. What?
- I'll kill you. - I'll give you a refund.
- Really? - You're fine.
I quit!
Go down. No, your posture is...
Go up like that. Just two more.
Two more. Last two reps.
- I'm exhausted. - I know. Just two more.
Keep going.
- Last two reps. - You keep saying that!
I think I've done 2,000 reps!
All right. Anyways, remember what you learned today.
I'll see you next time.
Good work today.
Let's go.
- Oh! - Whoa!
Darn it.
How was Jaden?
Wasn't I right? He's cute when he smiles and sexy when he's not.
Oh, how was Jaden?
You said last time
it was hard to describe his charms.
What did you say again?
He looks a bit dumb when he smiles,
but looks menacing when he keeps a straight face.
He is so ignorant when working,
and is no fun when you hang out together.
- You said so, right? - What?
When did I say that, ma'am?
- Have a nice day. - Wait...
- I didn't, Jaden. - I know.
- Seriously, why would she do that? - Right?
What's with her?
- I seriously didn't. - I know.
Jiyu!
I'll take you home. I'll visit Moeun, too, while I'm there.
- Come on. - She's not home!
You stop right there.
If you follow me any further, I'll kill you. Damn it!
Darn it.
This is so annoying!
What?
What do you mean, "What?" It's me.
Get out of my way.
I'm glad you're home.
Wow. It's your painting?
You're so cool.
Put it in here...
All right.
We're having beer!
I have to work.
What? Come on. No way!
We never get our timing right.
Sohee went to her parents' place today, so I came to drink with you all night.
Hungry? I can order something.
Oh, no. I'm good.
What?
In the old days,
you couldn't even order in jajangmyeon without me.
Remember?
Right. Because you had to call to order in food back then.
Back then, it was so bothersome sometimes
and it was so frustrating to communicate with you,
so I took it out on you often.
It's okay. I beat you often in return.
Come on! Hey, that's not true, you little...
I just let you hit me.
Don't you dare tell Sohee about it. She'll kill us both, okay?
Jeez.
Hey, anyways, smartphones send text messages and translate for us.
They're way better than humans. Way better than me.
Right?
I mean, you can do everything on your own now.
Yes, but you can't trust them too much.
When my phone dies in important moments,
it feels like my body is also switched off.
It makes me feel so helpless.
Hey, it's not just you.
Look. Without this,
my bar will go out of business.
I won't be able to call the designated driver service
or cabs for drunk customers.
Everyone's the same.
Isn't it frustrating?
Because I can't hear...
Well, to be honest,
I like to talk without a phone.
I like it, too.
I can't explain why in a few words,
but I mean it.
Hmm...
If feels like you understand what I say to myself without realizing it.
So,
sometimes,
I forget
that...
you can't hear.
Well...
Although, it must be
hard for you because my sign language is not very good.
What are you doing? What are you thinking about?
Were you talking to me?
Yes. I was talking to you.
The moment I'm lost in thought,
I become a rude person who doesn't answer people in front of me.
Sorry.
You say sorry all the time.
Just keep being lost in thought.
I'd feel sorry to ask them to repeat what they said
so sometimes,
I'd just nod even if I don't understand.
Because I believed not asking to repeat every little thing again
was the way to be considerate towards others.
So it's never occurred to me.
I feel more grateful.
Thank you for trying to listen
and do best you can.
Thanking me for trying
to listen to her...
It got me curious.
All this time,
for what have I drawn the line for,
and whom have I tried to distance myself from?
Maybe it's not just that I can't hear.
Maybe I have only tried to listen closely
to what I wanted to hear.
Okay, it's done.
- To the arts center? - Yes.
I'll get going.
- I'm jealous. Bye. - Bye.
It seems the artwork's getting delayed,
so why don't we show Hyeseon's works in the first half of this year?
I'll have to ask her first.
Hello. I'm here to deliver these.
Oh, coffee!
Enjoy.
Thank you.
She's quite friendly, isn't she?
What?
Hmm?
Hey!
Hi.
What a relief. I didn't know what to do without an umbrella.
Yes.
I can't confess right now because it's raining.
Because you're holding an umbrella, you can't answer.
Oh. This means "conversation."
Hold on.
If this means "conversation,"
what does this mean?
No, it can't be "confess."
"Confess"?
Confess...
No, no.
Focus. What did I say earlier again?
"Because it's raining,
I can't confess right now..." I said that.
But...
People make mistakes.
But not this kind of mistake, probably.
Well, it's okay to make a mistake. You can't know everything.
So that's why he looked so confused earlier.
No. It'll be okay if I pretend not to know, right?
But I do know...
Hello.
Oh...
Here's your coffee.
I realized
I got one word wrong yesterday.
I wanted to say, "We can't talk because you're holding an umbrella."
But yesterday... What did I say?
"Confess."
Sorry?
That's what you said. "Confess."
Did I say that?
I don't really remember...
Hello.
Hey.
Hey, what on earth happened?
What? He just bought coffee here.
I've never seen Mr. Cha smile like that.
Did he smile?
Hey, that's like cracking up for him.
Really?
He smiled because of you.
I'm not sure.
Or was it me?
Hello, sir.
Hey, what are you doing, Moeun?
I'm just done with my part-time job and so I'm headed to the theater.
Is that so?
I don't think we can perform today.
Pardon?
What do you mean?
We were rehearsing, and there was an accident during the blackout.
She's in the hospital now,
she can't even stand up on her own.
So...
So the director suggested that you play Myeongju.
That makes no sense. How can I possibly do it?
Well, I heard you performed on stage in college.
That was just the club's regular performance.
Oh, is that so?
But Moeun,
we have no alternative except for you.
If you don't do it, we'll have to cancel today's performance.
I'm here.
What a relief.
Will it be really okay if I do it?
Good decision.
Let's prep Moeun first and rehearse again.
- Okay. - All right. Let's hurry up.
How do you feel?
I'm so nervous.
It's okay. Everyone's the same.
If you think the audience came to evaluate your performance,
you won't be able to act.
That goes the same for me.
Just think, "They're here to enjoy it with us."
"They'll be generous and understanding even if I make a mistake."
"It's reassuring." Like that.
Okay.
Don't... Don't be too... nervous, okay?
I'll be inside, so call me if you need anything.
- Thank you. - Sure.
JIYU
Hey, Moeun. What's up?
Me? I'll get off late today.
There's a workshop, so I came to help out.
What?
Why does it have to be today of all days?
I should be there to cheer you on and support you.
That's okay.
Anyway, I'll do a good job, right?
Don't be nervous. And don't be scared.
Yes. Good luck.
You can do it, okay?
I'll see you at home victorious.
Okay.
CHA JINWOO
It's been over five years since I moved to this neighborhood.
But I haven't really looked around it properly.
- Watch your step here. - Okay.
- The daycare center is the only place-- - Hold on.
That line is...
We'll begin the performance!
You'll do a good job.
I believe in you.
TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
I realized while performing,
why acting feels so comforting.
Someone who's nice and I feel comfortable with.
- I feel Cha Jinwoo is a very nice person. - Cha Jinwoo?
We haven't heard from him since the fire accident at the art school.
How do you two know each other?
