I’m so sorry, Kawi.
Did you forget something?
Your mom is having her exhibition at the gallery.
You told me you would come.
Pear.
It’s okay.
I understand.
You’re flying tonight?
Are you coming with me?
I’m not letting you go.
What did you say?
I will set everything right.
Will you go out with me?
No.
You must let me hit on you first.
It looks so good.
Hitting on someone like you is so easy.
Just take you out to eat.
Yeah?
Nice mouth.
A while ago, you were having a sad puppy face.
Hey!
I better not.
I think I’ll quit drinking.
Why?
Come to think of it, alcohol helps in a way.
It helps make my life more fun.
With it, I do things I’m not brave enough to do.
Even so, when I use it too often, it comes back and hurts me.
That’s good.
Whoa!
Let’s eat.
Sure.
It’s so good.
Good, huh?
Um.
Kawi.
I’m glad
that you finally opened your heart to me.
I never thought I’d get the chance.
Come on.
We no longer need touching speeches.
Will it sound bad if I say I’m glad Pear got something to do?
I ended up dating you instead.
It sounds bad.
So bad.
I want the next bite already.
Pear.
Congratulations.
Thanks a lot, honey.
Thank you so much for coming.
I’ve missed you so much, you know?
Pear’s mother is an artist.
But once she married and had a child,
family responsibilities and everything else took its toll on her creativity.
So she decided that it wasn’t the life she wanted.
She asked for separation.
I know how it feels to be abandoned by someone we love.
It’s really painful.
It was a long time ago.
I guess Pear already forgave her mom.
Lots of people came to see your exhibition today.
I’m happy for you.
Thank you so much
and please tell your dad I said thanks.
If it weren't for you and your dad, today wouldn’t have happened for me.
How dare you say that?
You traded Dad’s pain and my heartache for the path you chose.
Wow.
Do you want to eat anything else?
Let’s see.
Is there anything delicious around here?
Me.
I’m delicious.
Wanna try?
Ow!
You’re cheeky.
[Incoming Call - Fluke]
Hello.
Yes. What’s up?
Now?
He’s with me.
But he’s not available.
I’ll let him know though.
What is it?
Fluke called.
He said he couldn’t reach you.
My battery died again.
So…
Why did he call?
The band that was supposed to play tonight canceled.
So the owner asked your band to play instead.
Yeah?
What time?
10.
What time is it now? Check your watch.
9.
Hey.
It’s almost time.
Come on. Let’s go.
Wait.
Where are you going?
We’re not done with our date yet.
We finished eating.
What else should we do?
It’s a date.
It must end with…
With?
Well…
Don’t play dumb.
I really have no idea.
Tell me.
Whatever.
No more eating. Back to your place then?
Come on.
No.
I’m performing with my band.
Choose then.
Between me and your band, what will you choose?
Damn it.
All right. Thank you all so much for coming tonight.
Tonight is special as it’s Pang’s birthday over here.
She’s our regular customer.
Let’s sing her the happy birthday song, guys.

♪ Happy birthday, happy birthday ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
Hey, Pisaeng.
When did you come?
And why are you sitting all alone?
I came with Kawi.
♪ Happy birthday, happy birthday ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
I wish you tons of happiness, Pang.
I hope you achieve all your life goals.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Drink with me.
Please.
Can I just not drink? I quit.
No. You must.
You must entertain the customers.
If you don’t drink, it won’t be fun for them.
Then the owner might stop hiring us.
Please.
Pretty please!
Drink.
Sorry.
My friend over there is allergic to alcohol.
But I can drink for him.
What do you think?
Fine by me. Totally.
All right. You can drink instead.
But you must drink it all.
Bottoms up.
Woo-hoo!
And that’s Pisaeng.
If you want to hand us drinks tonight, hand them to him instead.
He will take them for us.
Hey, boy.
One more.
Drink one more.
One more?
Bottoms up.
It’s my birthday.
Bottoms up.
(Sorry. The number you've dialed cannot be connected…)
You’re back, huh?
(Sorry. The number you've dialed cannot be connected…)
Yes.
Your mom told me what happened.
Are you still angry with her?
No.
I just…
Okay.
I think we need to have a word.
What do you want to talk about?
There’s nothing to talk about.
We must
so that I know what you’re thinking
and what you’re feeling.
Do you even care?
Pear.
If you really do, why did you let her leave me?
Why did you let her do that to me?
She’s that selfish.
How could you tell me to forgive her?
And how should I respond to that?
Do I have the right to say I’m not okay?
How is it my fault?
This is not fair at all.
Thank you so much, Kawi
for coming with such short notice.
I felt really bad.
Hey, that’s okay.
This guy isn’t okay though.
I am.
Damn you.
There, there. Just rest.
He’s furious when drunk.
Don’t worry. I’ll take care of him.
All right then.
See you.
Get home safe.
Bye. Thank you so much.
See you.
You all right?
Wanna go home?
Is the ride here yet?
Wait a bit.
When will it come?
It’s coming. Look.
In five minutes.
Just wait a little.
Okay.
Kawi.
Hm?
So…
We are together now.
What?
You said you’d hit on me first.
Come on.
No more hitting on you.
Let’s just be together.
Yeah?
What?
The ride is almost here.
It’s not here yet.
Kawi.
Hm?
Kawi!
What?
Kawi.
Yes?
Can I get a kiss?
Huh?
Oh, come on.
Can’t I get just one little kiss?
Not here.
Damn you.
Hey. Our ride is here.
This one.
Let’s go.
Hey!
Fine. No kiss, it is.

[Incoming Call - Not]
Hello.
(Pear, it’s me.)
Yes.
What is it?
About the thing I told you before,
I was right.
(So I’m with him already, aren’t I?)
(And it’s the right thing, isn’t it?)
(What kind of person looks this good even when he sleeps?)
(I just want to keep on staring at him.)
(Hold on.)
(Am I this whipped for him?)
(When did this happen?)
(It’s good he’s sleeping.)
(If he’s awake, I won’t dare stare at him like this.)
If you're going to stare this hard, you might as well eat me.
Hey!
Oh.
I thought you were sleeping.
I’m awake.
Go take a shower.
You didn’t take a shower last night. Can’t you smell yourself?
I just don’t remember when I blacked out last night.
Oh, you have the guts to ask now?
You blacked out in the taxi.
I carried you up here.
You’re damn heavy.
I didn’t realize that at all.
Wait a minute.
What?
Did you do anything to me last night?
Are you crazy?
Who would do anything to you?
Do you really think I would?
I don’t know.
I was unconscious.
Who knows?
You might not be able to resist your desire.
I won’t do anything to you.
What kind of person do you think I am?
There, there.
I’m kidding.
Are you mad?
There, there. Don’t be mad.
Please don’t get mad.
Asshole.
I should’ve let you sleep on the streets.
What a lazy day.
Can we just not go to class?
Should we skip?
No.
We have a quiz today.
Come on. I just want to cuddle you all day.
Please, please.
No.
We don’t want to be late.
Go.
Let me hug you a little longer, yeah?
No hurries.
Enough.
It’s ticklish.
Do you think people will notice I’m wearing your shirt?
Oh, please.
Let’s go.
Wait.
Stop by the shopping mall first.
What?
I just told you have a quiz.
Why are we going?
The quiz is at 1 p.m.
It’s only 11 now.
You should’ve just slept in class yesterday since it’s such a rush.
I’m sorry, sir.
I will not get on your nerves ever again, sir.
I want to buy a new phone.
How rich you are.
What you’re using now is still new.
Want a new one already?
Not for me. I’m buying it for you.
Huh?
What? No!
Why not?
Your battery is deteriorated.
Tell me what phone you want.
Sugar Daddy will buy it for you.
Please.
If we are to date each other, don’t do this.
When we were just friends, I bought you food and things many times.
Why are you thinking so much now?
We are together.
That’s why I need to think more carefully.
What do you mean?
Hey.
Are you okay?
Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about it.
If we're going to be together, I don't want to take advantage of you.
That's the reason I don't want you to always pay for or buy me expensive stuff.
What does it matter if I do?
Isn't this our business?
Why should you care about what other people think?
I don’t care about other people.
I care about you.
If we decide to date,
I want our relationship to be successful.
I don't want it to fall short.
You may think I'm overthinking things.
But I will feel more comfortable if we are more equal.
We are neither givers nor takers.
Just stay together.
Don’t leave each other.
That’s all I need.
Okay.
From now on, whatever I do, I promise I will let you know first.
I will not do anything without discussing it with you.
And if I do anything wrong,
give me a chance to adjust.
Um.
Of course, it’s true.
I saw it with my own eyes.
You’re talking nonsense, Not.
They might be just drunk and messing with each other.
Do you think I’m stupid?
I have brains.
I could tell what it was that I saw.
I think it’s possible.
Those two are suspiciously close.
Remember what I told you?
Someone saw Pisaeng in a gay bar.
Really?
Yes.
See?
Thinking back on his weird behaviors lately, it all clicks.
You’re right.
True.
Hey, Kwan.
What did Pear say?
Did you talk to her about this?
You told Pear about this?
Yeah, why?
Do you want Kawi to keep lying to her?
It’s a shame I didn’t take their photos.
Kwan.
Hasn’t Pear come yet?
Oh.
You haven’t talked to her yet, Kawi?
Pear is sick.
She’s taking a day off.
Pear doesn’t answer the phone.
You try.
She doesn't take your calls. What makes you think she will take mine?
Oh, come on. I told you to call her. Just call.
(Sorry. The number you've dialed cannot be connected…)
She didn’t answer.
Damn. What should I do?
She must have known about us.
Probably not.
Don’t make it up in your head.
Make it up, my ass.
Didn’t you hear what those guys said?
Let’s not lie to ourselves. They talked about us.
I should’ve cleared things up with Pear first.
I shouldn’t have agreed to be with you first.
So what?
So what if Pear knows or other people know?
Sooner or later they will find out.
Hi, Kawi.
Hello, sir.
Hello.
I came to see Pear.
Pear went out a while ago.
I even thought she went to see you.
[Pisaeng: Pear came to see me at my place.]
Do you think I was being rude to say that to her?
Not really.
But if you knew you’d act that way if you saw her,
you shouldn’t have gone in the first place.
If I knew, that’d be great.
Before last night, whenever I saw her,
she was struggling with something.
It’s either work or money.
That’s why I didn’t feel that angry.
But yesterday,
she started to be successful.
She looked happier.
Given the fact that she did that to me and Dad,
I just could take it.
The more I say it, the worse it sounds.
You don’t need to blame yourself that much, Pear.
You can be honest about your feelings.
It’s not that bad.
Pisaeng.
You know you’re the only friend I trust and can open up to about anything, right?
I don’t even tell my dad everything.
But there’s nothing at all I hide from you.
I didn’t actually come to talk about my mom.
I want to talk about something else.
About what?
Can you promise you won’t hide it from me?
Pear.
I have something important to tell you.
There’s no need.
I know everything.
Pisaeng told me.
Pear, I really am sorry.
I didn’t mean to hide this from you.
You must be thinking I’m fooling–
Just forget it.
Don’t say anything right now.
I’m not angry.
I just don’t get what it is.
Pear, wait.
I…
Just let me go.
I’m not ready to hear anything from you.
I’m sorry.
I just couldn’t lie to Pear.
Stressed out?
Of course, I am.
I told you I wanted to set everything right.
But in the end…
Damn it.
How many more mistakes will I make in life?
When you said set everything right, I thought it meant us getting together.
That’s not enough?

[Pearmai: Can we meet? I want to talk to you.]
[Not: Sure thing.]
Hey.
Are you having a date with Pearmai?
What’s going on here?
Don’t be nosy, you two.
I’m off.
Hey, where are you going?
Right. Where are you going?
None of your business.
He’s having a secret now.
Not.
Hi, Kwan.
What’s up?
I know we agreed that there must be no jealousy between us.
And if one of us wants to get serious with someone else,
the other must let go.
I don’t want to break the promise I gave you
but I want to be honest about my feelings.
Is there any way we can make our relationship right, Not?
I’m really sorry.
I don’t feel that much about you.
Hey.
You can’t blame me.
We have an agreement.
But can it not be Pear?
She and I are friends.
That’s too hurtful, Not.
I can’t.
She’s the only one I like.
I must be honest about my feelings too.
Right?
So that means, aside from ours,
everyone else's life is miserable.
Just like I saw in the future.
Pear's, in particular.
Pear.
The question is
are we really letting these things happen?
If we do what’s right for us but it leads other people’s lives to mistakes,
can we still call it righteousness?
We just got together
and now we’re already blaming ourselves,
and feeling so responsible for others.
Well, then.
Should we keep dating?
I get what you said.
But I can’t help thinking if you’re dating some girl, not me,
will you be this worried?
Will you be this guilty?
No.
It has nothing to do with that.
If you ask me if I want to continue dating you,
the answer is yes.
Because I don’t want to lose you anymore.
But is there any other way we can make things better?
I think the only thing we can do is
no matter what happens, we hold hands and get through it together.
That thing you told me
about Kawi and Pisaeng,
I know it’s true.
Sorry, I didn’t believe you before.
It’s fine.
No problem at all.
I’m okay now that you know the truth.
Then…
Can I ask you something?
I don’t want you to tell more people about them.
I don’t want them to feel bad and uncomfortable.
And it’s their personal matter.
You’re still protecting them?
Well, they are my friends.
And they are your friends too.
Aren’t they?
Just because you asked,
I won’t say anything.
Thank you.
Will you excuse me then?
Hold on a second.
You called me here because of just this?
Um.
Why?
Well…
Not.
I know how you feel about me.
But I don’t like you that way.
All I can give you is friendship.
I’m truly sorry.
Another thing that is also important is that we have hope.
I don’t know what makes you believe only bad things will happen in the future.
But can’t we just be optimistic?
I’d like to believe otherwise.
I believe things won’t turn into mistakes.
I believe everyone will do the right thing.
I believe the future will be as good as it can get.
But no matter what happens,
I believe there’s nothing more right than us being together.
I want to crash here with you tonight.
Hey!
Go take a shower.
Why do I have to see you unclothing?
Wanna shower with me?
Not this ride. It’s too much.
I don’t like it.
You haven’t tried it yet. How do you know if you like it or not?
If you’re afraid, just hold on to my hand.
Okay?
