TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
Rock, paper, scissors!
Yes!
Rock, paper, scissors!
I'm "it."
I'll look for you after I count to ten.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten.
I'll look for you.
When you play hide-and-seek,
you shouldn't hide too well or too obviously.
You don't want to hide too obviously and make it boring.
Found you!
Minho. Jinwoo.
Where are you hiding?
And you shouldn't hide somewhere too hard for "it" to find, or it'll be a drag.
When I hid somewhere quiet alone to avoid "it,"
I'd have two different feelings at the same time.
I didn't want to get found.
And
I wanted them to find me.
Come out wherever you are!
Hey, Eunsoo.
Mom!
Bye, Kihyun.
Bye.
Where's he hiding?
Minho, Nohye, it's time to eat.
- Okay. - Okay.
Let's go.
Jinwoo, you can come out now.
Cha Jinwoo!
I didn't want to be found,
and I wanted them to find me.
They seem like polar opposite feelings,
but what I truly hoped for was just one thing.
Hey, I've been looking for you forever.
The other boys already went home.
Do you know how long I've been calling you?
Never mind. Let's go.
- Ah!
Hey, I think there is
a really big dog in there.
Are you not scared?
This won't do.
- Let's run!
Come on!
I wanted to know that we were still
good friends,
even though we couldn't talk
like we used to.
I wonder what I want right now.
I want to distance myself from her.
But I also want to get closer to her.
These two may seem like polar opposite feelings.
Do you want to go to see the sea?
What's certain is
that these countless things I'm trying to figure out
are all about this one person.
It was your birthday that day, wasn't it?
Ah... Uh...
How... Well...
How did you find out?
Happy Birthday. Though it's too late.
I'm a bit slow.
"A bit slow"?
Mm.
I like you.
In case
you didn't know.
No.
In case
you were pretending not to know,
I wanted to tell you
that I...
really
like you.
Because you're a bit slow.
I don't know
If I can accept your feelings.
I'm not sure.
I cannot speak your language.
But you try hard
to learn sign language. My language.
So I always feel grateful and bad.
I only speak sign language,
but if you're okay with it,
I want to tell you
that I want to
do many good things with you from now on.
"I want to say I want to do
"good things with you"?
Things that you like,
let's do them together.
And stop trying to be so considerate.
What do you say?
EP 07 BEGINNING
TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
Do you want to see the sunrise?
See what?
The sunrise?
It's chilly.
Uh...
Here.
Is it good?
How do you say this in sign language?
It looks like how you eat it.
Then what about "season"?
Like this?
Then what about "spring"?
"Spring."
Like this?
Then what about "summer"?
Hot season?
Wind? I see.
Winter.
Then...
Hey.
Ah...
This painting was also drawn in Jeju.
And this one, too,
was tagged like this, so we're assuming it's Dino's work.
And next?
A mural of a girl drawn on a wall of an elementary school.
It's a public institution, so it's probably been removed right away.
Is it still there?
Well, there was a controversy,
but the school decided to leave it for the time being.
The girl in the picture was a student at that school,
but she died of cancer not long ago.
As the story spread,
many people requested that it be kept.
Hmm.
That's it for the paintings known as Dino's works.
Okay. Good job.
But I have one more thing to show you.
It doesn't have Dino's tag, but I think it's definitely Dino's work.
It's a closed traditional market.
And the woman is an old lady who's sold vegetables there for decades.
Seeing how there's no tagging and it isn't finished,
maybe the painter left in a hurry because of the police.
That's possible.
- Where's that? It's...
It's Daemin Market in Daemin-dong.
Daemin-dong? Isn't it near here?
Yes, it is.
I see.
The Director says she's coming back in the afternoon.
- So let's be prepared. Okay.
Let's.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Should I put them here? - Yes.
Enjoy.
THE CLASS ENDED EARLIER THAN I THOUGHT
I'LL GET OFF WORK SOON, TOO
WANT TO GO TO THE MOVIES?
YES, I'D LOVE THAT
Hello.
I came to deliver coffee. When I'm not busy, I do it myself.
Oh, I see.
Is your sign language getting better?
I think so.
It looked simple, but the more I learn, the harder it gets.
It must've been really helpful for Mr. Cha to have a friend who was
fluent in sign language like you in college.
Actually, no.
It was more helpful for me.
I received scholarships for all four years for helping him
by translating and taking notes for him.
I see.
What was he like when he was in college?
Jinwoo? Well...
He nagged a lot.
He may have looked good-natured,
but he was very picky.
He nagged?
I can't imagine...
I was a bad student who liked to go out to have fun
and was late to class quite often.
But if I didn't go to the class, Jinwoo couldn't listen to the lecture.
- Oh... - Right.
So he nagged me a lot.
I see.
People probably thought he was just some quiet art student.
You know, it was silent nagging that no one but me could see.
You're right.
Have a nice day, then.
You wanted to see some other movie, didn't you?
I did.
I had a feeling that you chose that movie because of me.
Wait.
Does this mean even if I'm in a movie,
you won't understand it when you watch it?
I can read the script like last time.
If you think about it,
there's nothing to take for granted.
Take for granted.
Ah...
"Take for granted." Is that right?
DEEP
Welcome.
My...
Hi.
"Hi"?
Hey, this place suits you really well.
I did hear that you came back to Korea, but...
how did you know about my bar?
Sometimes,
I missed you more than Jinwoo.
You can't do that. I'm married and have a kid.
So I'm sorry, but dream on.
Since I came back,
I've seen people I missed,
gone to the places I wanted to go, and had food I wanted to have.
Everything I missed
had Jinwoo involved.
I know we met through Jinwoo,
but we're friends, too.
So what?
I'm saying it's nice
that I can meet you as a customer now.
Not as a friend of my ex-boyfriend.
I can come often, can't I?
Why bother asking?
Even if I tell you not to come, I know you'll ignore it and come anyway.
I got goosebumps.
I was getting ready to say that.
But would Jinwoo hate it?
What's the matter with you? Huh?
Then do you want him to still have feelings for you?
Seriously?
- I'm not sure. - Seokyung.
Stop beating around the bush. Just tell me honestly.
Before I put "Seokyung not allowed" on the door.
That look makes me not want to tell you.
I mean...
Why did you really come back to...
Hey, you and Jinwoo...
No, never mind.
Whatever. I don't know anymore.
It's between you two.
And it's up to you to come here or not.
Still, it's nice to see me, isn't it? It's been so long.
What?
Just say it is
even if it's not.
God, you haven't changed.
Fine.
It's nice to see you.
I don't know about others,
but I thought you should change a bit,
but you haven't changed a bit, so I'm dumbfounded.
I have changed a lot.
So much that I'm actually grateful
that you said I haven't.
A few days ago,
I saw your friend.
You saw my friend?
I went to the recording studio
to set up my painting.
"Recording..."
"To set up a painting"?
Oh... You went to Johan's recording studio to set up your painting.
So they were the ones who ordered it.
I saw the memo your friend wrote there
and found out about your birthday.
I see.
Well... He is
like family to me.
I've been feeling this lately.
When I'm at a quiet place like this... How do I put it?
All the sounds that were all mixed up when it was noisy,
I can hear them separately.
It feels new...
I'm sorry.
Tell me. I'll listen.
- I forgot. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
- Be careful there. - Okay.
Please get on each treadmill, sir and ma'am.
I'll turn them on.
Your heel first, pinky toe, and then big toe.
Give it a try, please.
Good.
Your posture is great.
We're doing well for people our age, right?
Come on. Age doesn't really matter.
- There's someone in their 30s-- - Yes.
...who has a body of a person in their 60s.
What now?
Come on, that's impossible.
Well, I'd say the same thing if I hadn't seen for myself.
Anyway, since it'd be dangerous to do it now,
so say hi to each other when you're done.
Her body age and yours are quite similar.
Hello.
Ah...
I've been thinking
why I keep getting smart with you.
And? Why on earth do you do that?
Because it's fun.
Teasing you is fun because of your reaction.
Jung Modam. Don't you have any friends in Seoul?
Go hang out with your friends!
My friend is here.
I'm not in the mood to joke with you.
You follow me.
Slow down. Why are you drinking so fast?
To cool down my anger.
What are you so angry about this time?
All right. I won't tease you anymore.
Listen.
You are
the little brother of my friend that I love so much.
So you're like my little brother.
So...
I'll just let it go.
What are you talking about?
No, Jiyu.
You're a friend of my sister that I love so much.
So you're like my friend.
So you can be comfortable around me.
- You little punk, you and your mouth...
Fine.
To be honest, even if you look down on me,
how can I complain?
When I heard about Jaden,
I ran over to the gym and signed up
without knowing anything but his name.
I must've looked like a fool.
No, it's not like that.
But I...
I forgot my dreams
and have no goal.
So,
I have no expectations for the future.
But
I wanted to meet someone
who would make me feel excited
and make my heart race.
- Modam. - Yes?
- I... - Yes?
I don't know what I want anymore.
- What do you mean? - No!
I want something.
What is it?
It may sound childish,
but matching outfits!
Matching shoes!
Photo booth!
My dream is to do those things.
But why is it so difficult to do it?
You can just do it.
- Oh! - What? God, that startled me.
My shoe bag.
I left it behind.
You left it? Why?
- It's expensive. - Really?
- Yes. - Hold on. We...
- What do we do? - Hold on, Modam.
- I want to throw up. - One thing at a time.
- All right! - I'm sorry,
- but I'll throw up on your back. - No, stop it.
Don't!
Get me home now!
Hey.
Where are you, Moeun?
Now? I just finished practice. Why do you ask?
What do you think?
To give you a present.
Hey, why would you prepare... Actually, thank you.
Where are you?
I'm at my recording studio.
Recording studio?
I went to the recording studio
to set up my painting.
Just wait right there. I'll come to you.
No, Johan. I will come to you.
You will?
Why? Why would you come here?
Why...
What do you mean, why?
You're giving me a present. Of course, I should come to you.
No, you don't have to. I'll be a hassle.
I can just drive there.
It's not a hassle at all.
Why would it be when I'm getting a present?
I won't take long. Wait there.
Moeun, no. I'll...
Hey. - Hey.
Awesome painting, right?
What about my present?
Follow me.
What is this?
Open it.
Hey...
Isn't it really expensive?
No, it's not.
Hold on.
What do you think?
Do you want to listen to the radio?
Sorry?
"Radio"?
Is the music playing?
Is it clear?
Yes.
Well... But
I like it quiet better.
She's so lost in the music.
Hey, it's really good.
And?
It's because the music is so good.
Right?
Wait. Your taste has improved.
Thanks for the present.
Sure. Use it as often as possible. You like listening to music.
Right. I used to.
I used to feel bored or off if I didn't listen to something
when I was going somewhere
or resting.
But not anymore?
I guess so.
But
being free from sound
is not bad.
There's something comfortable
about a quiet time.
I'm serious. I feel so happy every time I see this.
You should stop seeing that
- and study. It's cool.
THE PAINTING MAKES ME FEEL COMFORTABLE
I'M SURE MY FRIEND'S GRATEFUL
I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT
Hey.
You freaking moron.
Why did you act out like that at school?
What did he say again? It was like some movie line.
"Sir."
"Please isolate the school violence offenders right now."
"Isolate." That was it.
Fucking bullshit.
Damn.
"I admire your acting."
Did you expect something like that?
But too bad for you.
Everyone now knows that you are a sucker.
He's indeed a grown-up.
Did you see?
How he grinned and ignored it so maturely?
He's a grown-up because he knows he'll be fucked if he messes with us.
Got that?
Your life is fucked because you're so nosy.
Gosh, Taeho, when will you become a great grown-up like him?
Hey, it's a bad day for Taeho, so let's go eat together.
No, leave him out.
- Taeho, what do you want to eat? Pork? Hamburger?
- Sounds good. - Let's get off.
Get up.
Let's go.
Hey, Taeho, how many girls have you met with that?
God, aren't you sick of those girls?
I'm just so curious.
- He's not answering. He doesn't look good.
Stop it. I'm allowed to ask, aren't I?
- Excuse me. - Yes?
- Can I ask you something? - Sure.
I'm looking for
the person who drew this mural.
Do you own this building, ma'am?
No, I don't.
But I was wondering if I could
check the CCTV or dashcam footage here.
If the building owner makes an official request for investigation
or the person who drew this committed a crime, it'll be possible.
Oh, I see.
Yes. - Thanks for the explanation.
What? What is it?
What? This painting is the one at Daemin Market, isn't it?
What? - Yes, it is.
Yes. You know, a few nights back,
a drunk man and a deaf man were here for an assault case.
Don't you remember?
Oh, yes, I remember.
Is it around there?
You should've been careful.
I'm fine. It's just a scratch.
The area's going to be redeveloped,
so the wall will be torn down anyway.
So I doubt the owner will make a report.
Right.
- Thank you. - Don't mention it.
- I'm sorry we couldn't be of help. - No, you were.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
Welcome...
What's the matter?
Mm-mm. Nothing.
Right. Sohee told me not to go to your place,
so I told you to come here.
Wait. What's wrong with you?
You don't want me to come?
It must be going well with you and Moeun.
Hey, I feel so great.
Everything's on the house tonight.
- You just drink your fill.
When we played hide-and-seek...
Yes.
...all the other boys went home
and only you and I were left in the playground.
I'm suddenly reminded of that time.
It's because of you
who didn't come out even after sunset.
You're the one who didn't leave
until you found me.
You could've just gone home, leaving me behind.
All right, fine.
You know,
all the other boys went home
holding their moms' hands.
Well...
I didn't want to go home alone.
And I didn't want to leave you alone.
Wasn't it nice of me?
She feels like you from back then.
Who?
Moeun?
She found me when I was hiding.
Right, eh?
The moment I first saw her, I knew she was stubborn.
Seokyung was here.
I don't really know what she meant,
but she said she wanted to start over.
I guess there are many things she wants to do.
Come on. I'm just telling you.
- Hi. - Hi.
You're early.
What would you like?
The one you're having.
Excuse me.
Thank you. - Enjoy.
Thank you.
Why did you call me?
Mm...
Take it.
What is this?
Just take it.
Aren't these the matching shoes we saw together?
Jiyu, you...
Don't you remember what you said when we were drinking?
No, I don't remember.
What? What did I say?
Jiyu.
If you don't want to be my friend,
how about my girlfriend?
What?
Are you out of your mind?
Why would I?
- Are you done? - Yes.
Then I'll leave first.
- That's just ridiculous. - All right, fine.
Hold on. Just a second.
I bought them because they'd look good on you. Just keep them.
Okay.
It's not like only couples can wear the matching shoes, right?
- I know, right? - Right.
You go first.
Bye.
Is he insane?
What kind of nonsense was that?
What a crazy brat.
Why is he doing this to me?
It still burns?
Is it because of stress?
I don't think I can eat.
So I cooked some porridge. You should at least have this.
I don't know who will marry you, but she must be so lucky.
I know, right?
I can be really nice and sweet.
Did something happen?
No.
Why would you say that? Nothing happened.
Oh, right. It seems my sister got a boyfriend.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Who is it?
I don't know.
I saw them on the street by chance.
She was walking with some man.
That's it? Come on.
What? I've never seen her laugh like that before.
She's laughs often. I say poop, and she laughs.
It wasn't like that. I've never seen her smile so brightly.
Who could it be?
I should ask her later.
One iced latte
and one chamomile tea, please.
Do you want the tea hot?
Yes.
It's been paid.
If you wait in your seat, I'll bring them to you.
- Thank you. Thank you.
Hello. - Would you like to order?
No, I don't want to.
Pardon...
Are you almost done?
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
Well, I just dropped by because a meeting was canceled near here.
Want some coffee?
Iced Americano, please.
I'll bring you the coffee soon.
Okay.
I DON'T THINK I CAN GO WITH YOU TODAY BECAUSE MY FRIEND CAME TO SEE ME
JUNG MOEUN
HAVE A GOOD TIME AND TALK TO YOU LATER
- Thank you. - Sure.
- What should we eat? - Not sure. What do you want?
Well... Bean noodles?
You were craving it, weren't you?
Oh...
Oh. Hello.
It's nice to see you again.
Should we just all have dinner together?
Maybe next time. You should eat with your friend.
See you next time.
He said, "See you next time."
Oh. See you next time.
Excuse me for a second.
So...
When did you two get so close?
Well, we just did.
Then did you have plans with him?
Well, not exactly.
We just come to work and go home together if we have no other plans.
Why?
Because we just started seeing each other.
What?
Are you surprised?
I did think of telling you sooner,
but it felt too early.
I like him a lot.
Oh.
What's the matter?
What?
It's just that you don't look so well all of a sudden.
No. I'm okay.
All right, then.
You started to learn sign language
because of him?
Well, yes.
After I first met him in Jeju,
I started to learn it, so yes.
I didn't know I'd meet him again, though.
Because of someone
you met once in Jeju?
When you didn't know you'd see him again?
Yes. It sounds funny, right?
I can't believe I did that, too.
You're acting weird today.
Did something happen? Are you sick?
Just spit it out. And ask away if you have questions.
Why are you being like that?
I'm not sure.
What do you mean you're not sure?
You have something to say or not?
Or...
Are you being careful?
Or you don't like it?
No, it's not like that.
Let's talk about it later.
It's good that we're not having dinner together.
I'll just go.
You look quite tired. You should go home.
No, I'll drive you home.
That's okay.
But I must say I'm a bit hurt.
I knew you'd be surprised,
but I also thought you'd be happy for me.
Hey, of course, I'm happy for you. But...
Well...
Actually, I...
Never mind.
But don't get me wrong.
Maybe I'm too tired right now.
Suddenly, I...
blanked out.
All right. You must have your reasons.
I'll get going.
Uh... Moeun, I'll drive you home.
You still have that.
You're not asking why I came?
I even practiced what I'd answer to that.
Jinwoo.
If I...
If I say I'm really okay now,
will you believe me?
Only then will I be able to say what I've prepared to say.
TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
Have you met the guy Moeun's seeing?
He seems like a great person.
What's it to you who she's dating?
I'm not sure if I should ask you this. Is everything okay?
I like him,
and the words I know have been enough so far.
But will it be the same?
