RECOMMENDED PRODUCT OVERVIEW

I'm busy doing a translating gig.

I'll finish up and go home safely,
so don't worry.

She's making me blush.

STEW PLACE

Hello?

Yes, I reviewed it.

But the most important aspect
of the meal kit business is a heart--

I mean, convenience is very important.

What you've sent…

Something happened to Dahyun.

I had no idea…

Lee Jingeun was still after you.

I thought he had disappeared,
so I let my guard down.

It's all my fault.

-From now on--
-No. Don't apologize.

I'm at fault.

To be honest…

I know your sister.

What?

I think I know her.

What do you mean?

Words are powerful.

What had been mere speculation

becomes certain

the moment it is verbalized.

I think I have…

something to do with Gyeyoung.

Why do you think that?

Lee Jingeun said this to me.

What's wrong?

You know everything too.

He said I know everything too.

That's all there is to it?

Who cares
what that attention-hogging punk says?

You're right.
That's what I thought at first too.

-But it's still strange.
-What is?

I have no recollection whatsoever
of your sister going missing.

Something so horrendous occurred
in this small neighborhood.

So how's it possible that I don't remember
a single thing? Isn't it strange?

It happens.

No, I don't think so.

I'm certain something happened to me.

After I met you and Lee Jingeun showed up,

I'm regaining my memory bit by bit.

Then remember it.

Remember it this second.

It doesn't work like that.

Then don't think at all until then.

What?

Don't act so rashly like this

ever again.

I said I didn't mean to.

I made a mistake while pondering over it.
I didn't mean to meet Lee Jingeun.

Before pondering over it
and making such a mistake,

why couldn't you discuss it with me?

It's just a mere memory.

Mere memory? It might have
something to do with your sis--

So what?

I don't want to look for my sister…

if it means you'll be in danger.

It's a fact that
you looked for Lee Jingeun

because I was feeling anxious
not being able to find him.

-That's…
-Do you even know

how I felt as I rushed over here?

You said you wouldn't disappear.

But nothing

happened.

Nothing…

happened?

I'm sorry for getting angry.

No, I should apologize.

You and Eun Gyehoon can never be together.

There's a reason for that.

And you'll find out soon enough.

THE WITNESS

All right.

Lee Jingeun.

Eighteen years ago,

did we go to a certain house together?

The red gate.

I searched everywhere.

But it's been such a long time.
I'm sure things have changed.

Dahyun, hurry up.

Wait for me!

It's fascinating.

How does he know
every time I have a nightmare?

What? Where are they?

Mom.

Grandma!

Why are they
at the restaurant at this hour?

What?

Say it again.

That scumbag showed up again?

So she didn't tell you.

How did Dahyun seem earlier?
Do you remember?

Was she hurt at all?

Nothing serious,

but he strangled her a little.

My goodness.
She must've been so frightened.

What's wrong with you?
You'll wake up the neighbors.

-Bokhee.
-Don't you dare call my name!

I'll k*ll them all.

He'd better not show his face.

Don't even joke about it. It scares me.

Joke? Does it sound like I'm joking?

One or two makes no difference.

Only the first time was hard.
I can do it again.

Be quiet. I told you
not to bring that up ever again.

I mean every word.

I'll never

lose Dahyun ever again.

Never.

Eun Gyehoon,

how is your father?

Be happy, Gyehoon.

Like others.

Lee Jingeun said this to me.

He said I know everything too.

I think I know her.

Just stay right here, okay?

EPISODE 11

Thank you for the food.

Why aren't you telling us about yesterday?

What happened yesterday?

You really don't know?

No, I don't.

I heard that Lee Jingeun showed up again.

I heard that scumbag found you
at the library and hurt you.

-So what?
-"So what?"

You need to tell us
about such things right away.

Then what?

What?

If I tell you,

will you and Grandma
find Lee Jingeun and bury him?

Will you find him and k*ll him?

Dahyun, that's…

What are you talking about?

Why are you spewing nonsense?

What I meant was

that you should tell us
if anything is going on.

So that Grandma and I can help you!

Okay, I got it.

Then what about you guys?
Don't you have something to tell me?

Is there anything
that I don't know or can't remember,

but should know?

There's no such thing.

Me too then.

It wasn't anything serious
that you should worry about, Grandma.

I'll tell you if I need any help,
so don't worry.

Okay.

I said I'm fine.

Okay. Get going then.

I'll be back.

She left.

-What?
-You should control your temper.

Don't blame me.

I was just upset.

Of course, I know.

But Mom, I think she sensed something.
Don't you think?

I don't know.

For our spring seasonal menu,
how does sea squirt sound?

We can put it in the carpaccio sauce too.

I'm sure it will taste good.

But it's hard to store
and difficult to cook.

We can cook it sous vide.

Dahyun.

Can you help me?

Yes, sure.

Please put each ingredient
into separate pans.

Yes, chef.

Is your neck okay?

It's just slightly bruised.

How are you feeling?

Thanks to you, I feel fine.

Charlie Brown said,

we should "only dread one day at a time."

I'm going to become simple-minded
and not worry unnecessarily.

Good idea.

-By the way…
-Yes?

Dating secretly has its thrills.

You're right.

Just pretend you can't see or hear, okay?

Why do we have to suffer
when they're the ones dating?

But it's entertaining to watch.

That's true.

It smells good.

JIHWA PATROL UNIT

Hey, there.

What?

Why are you glaring?

You punk.

What's wrong with you?

Lt. An was looking for you, sir.

I think it's urgent.

That darn punk.

Follow me.

What's wrong with you?
Did something happen? What is it?

Nothing.

Of course, there's something.
Just now and yesterday too…

Let's stay like this for a while.

Hey.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Even though I hugged you yesterday,

there is almost no chance
our relationship will change.

So it's not a zero chance.

What? Yes, it is.

I have a favor. I need access
to CCTV footage off the record.

-CCTV?
-Yes.

I need to find a person named Lee Jingeun.

Lee Jingeun…

Oh, that one?

How do you know him?

What about you?

Hello?

Oh, really?

When?

I see.

Okay.

Dahyun.

Can you come with me somewhere?

Sorry?

We're going to a supermarket
instead of a market?

Yes. I need various ingredients today.

Why?

Because

I have no idea what he likes.

So, Korean, Western, Chinese,

Japanese, Asian, African, and more.
I'll cook dishes from all over the world.

You didn't do that for me.

Of course, you're my priority.
He's just benefitting on the side.

I'm telling the truth.

Wait.

What's that?

It's called kohlrabi.
I want to try putting it in a salad.

-Have you seen bell peppers like these?
-Wow, never.

They're huge.

Meat!

You carry meat scoring marble nine?

-Yes, we do.
-It looks fresh.

If the meat is glossy overall
and is marbled evenly like this,

the more umami--

You look so excited.

Do I? Let's look around.

Are you looking for dessert wine?

Oh, yes.

That winery was established
in 1737 in London.

It has a very long history.

Then in 1831--

It made its way to Porto, Portugal, and
started producing port wine thereafter.

The wine you're holding
is strong and full-bodied,

and has caramel, mocha--

It has a mixed aroma of pepper, walnut,
and wood spice, and in particular…

This is a 2016 vintage port.

A good mix of balsamic and spicy scents--

It has an intense and complex aroma,

so you can truly enjoy
the vintage port wine.

Were you jealous?

I wasn't jealous.

I was just trying
to share my expert knowledge.

Never mind. I'll play along.

Play along?

He was handsome.

-Who? Who was handsome?
-What?

No, never mind.

Open up.

I'll take one, please.

Still a long way to go?

No, it's almost done.

-Do you want to taste it?
-Yes.

Here you go.

It's delicious.

-What else should I do?
-What? Nothing. It's almost done.

I'm not the owner, but please have a seat.

Make yourselves comfortable.

What an awkward gathering.

Officer Ji is looking for Lee Jingeun too.

That's right.

Let's share information.

What on earth did Lee Jingeun do

and why is he stalking you?

It's a long story.

I see. You mean,

you almost died,
so you attacked back and k*lled him.

No, I didn't k*ll him.
He's still alive after all.

Right. You didn't k*ll him.

You put Lee Jingeun in the refrigerator
thinking he was dead, right?

I was really torn, Officer Ji.

I wasn't sure if I should let someone
so dangerous roam around freely.

It's understandable.

That must've been hard.
You suffered so much.

I'll help you as much as I can.

Thank you.

Then let's eat now.

By the way, this tastes good
if you wrap it in dried laver. Try it.

Okay. I'll figure it out.

-What's between you two?
-Tell me about it.

He used to follow me around
all the time when we were kids.

Hey.

No, it wasn't like that.

I never did that.

He's talking nonsense.

By the way, it's been a while
since I've had such fancy food like this.

Me too.

The last time I had it was
when we were dating. Not since then.

Seriously? You eat it all then.

What's between you two?

Nothing between us two.

-Yeah. You can handle it yourself.
-Okay.

Do you buy that?

No way.

What about you two?

We're just in lov--

-What?
-We're just work colleagues.

It's delicious.

-Well…
-Well…

-You can go first.
-No.

You go ahead.

Well…

I really enjoyed the food. Thanks.

Thanks for enjoying it.

Don't thank me.

I should be thanking you.

Did you go see your father?

How could I?
That would be so shameless of me.

About ten years ago,

my dad came to see me.

Do you remember me, Sejin?

What are you doing here?

Well, the thing is…

If you have nothing to say, just leave.

I…

I didn't hurt anyone.

I've never hurt anyone, Sejin.

I'm telling the truth. Please believe me.

I have a favor.

Tell me. I'll do anything for you.

From now on,

if we happen to run into each other
whenever and wherever,

please don't act like you know me.

Don't come see me like this ever again.

Please.

Looking back, perhaps my dad

came to see me

hoping that I would
understand him more by then

since I had become a grown-up.

But I…

But I still

envy you.

Isn't it odd?

It makes no sense.

Someone took the refrigerator?

Yes, exactly.

It was left outside to be recycled,
but it was gone before being picked up.

Why would anyone take it?

What refrigerator?

The one that Lee Jingeun was in.

It was left in front of the restaurant,
and it disappeared. Right?

Yes.

By any chance,

was it really big

with many doors?
It used to be right out in the front?

-Yes.
-That's the one.

You seemed happy earlier.

Did I?

Yes. You two seemed to get along well.

We used to be such close friends.

But…

many things happened.

And more than anything, I feel so bad.

I hope Ji Wontak

can become happy now.

I hope so too.

-So I'm thinking about it.
-About what?

I observed earlier

that he seemed awkward and uncomfortable
eating really fancy food.

He might've felt that way.
I felt like that too at first.

Right?

So,

I want to create a menu
that Wontak can eat comfortably.

If it were up to me, I would want him
to come eat here whenever he wants.

But knowing him, I doubt he would.

I should create a more casual menu
suitable for this business district.

Creating an ambience where one can
drink alone at night may be good.

-That sounds good.
-Doesn't it?

Yes, totally.

So I have another idea.

Yes, what else?

I'm thinking about revising the wine list.

Do I have to revise it?

-Well, hear me out first.
-Okay.

There are a lot more wines out there

that are more economical
and customer-friendly.

And to go with such wines,
I should create a simpler snack menu.

For example, gambas

or a simple cheese platter.
Something like that.

I finally feel better.

Let me.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Not much.

What about you?

You don't look good either.
Is something going on?

Eun Gyehoon came to the market
to see me not too long ago.

Why?

Because I was the witness
who saw Han Euichan a long time ago.

What did you tell him?

I just told the truth

that I testified because of Chief Seo
even though I wasn't sure.

But I couldn't bring myself
to tell Eun Gyehoon,

so I told Dahyun instead.

I see.

How will I face Chief Seo now?

Should I just leave Jihwa-dong?

-What?
-Darn it.

-Hey, what's going on? You got here early.
-Hello.

Did you start drinking already?

I needed a drink badly.

-Let's talk again later.
-Okay.

What? Is something going on?

Not really.

What about you?
It seems like you're up to something.

-Me?
-Yes.

My goodness. You're so nosy.

What now? What's bothering you this time?

The thing is that the stalker
showed up at the stew place again.

-The stalker?
-Yes.

-That guy from before?
-He showed up again?

Yes. Do you remember him?

Of course. We saw him
sitting over there last time.

Right, I remember him too.
The guy with a scar on his face.

-We saw him.
-Right.

Just tell them to report him.

The laws are better nowadays.

I guess

the situation is a bit complicated.

Is that right?

Then there isn't much we can do.
Our hands are tied.

The refrigerator keeps coming back.

I know.

You don't think
there is anything inside, do you?

I doubt it.

Shall I open it?

-Sorry.
-Jeez.

I…

didn't have a fridge,
so I had brought it up.

It looked nice.

My goodness. But it's huge.

What floor does he live?

Third…

On the third floor…

The restaurant is free today,
so feel free to use it as you wish.

You can study there.

Is something going on at home?

Why would he be there all day?

Zero, four, two, three.

Zero, four, two, three?

I thought the passcode was his birthday.

APRIL 23

It's Gyehoon's birthday today.

How could I not realize
my own boyfriend's birthday?

Why didn't he say anything?

He should've told me it was his birthday.

It's Gyeyoung's birthday too.

Mother, I'm home.

You're here.

Yes.

What's the point of all this?

I don't even know
if my daughter is dead or alive somewhere.

That's enough, Gyehoon.

Are you hungry? Wait just a little longer.
I'm almost done.

Is everything well with you?

Yes, it is.

What about the restaurant?

It's going well.

Which neighborhood did you say it was?

Don't worry about it.

How about you, Mom?
Are you feeling okay these days?

Yes.

Are you making sure to take your medicine?

I'm trying.

Does the food suit your taste?

Yes, it's delicious.

That's good to hear.

You should get going.

I want to stay longer.

You don't have to say
things you don't mean.

Even though I'm doing my best,
I still feel suffocated.

It's your birthday too.

I'm sure you have your own plans.

Even though I believe she isn't,

I can't help but think
she is blaming me saying,

"You're off and well by yourself."

Then I'll get going.

What about Dad?

Has he contacted you?

No.

But I think he's doing fine.

So please don't worry.

I'll go now.

And

I'm getting used to telling lies.

I miss you.

Who?

Who do you miss?

What are you doing here?

Well, the thing is

I came here
knowing that it was your birthday,

but I wondered if you wanted to be alone.

I missed the right timing to pop out.

Have you been waiting for me
since I was at my house?

Yes.

Should I leave?

No.

Thank you for coming.

It's so pretty.

Yes, it is.

-Isn't it?
-Yes.

But you're prettier.

You even know how to give compliments?

-To be honest…
-Yes?

I'm surprised at myself too.

What?

Don't you know?

If you catch a falling flower petal,
your wish will come true.

I'm not a little kid.

I don't believe in
such childish, unscientific superstitions.

But I didn't have enough time
to buy you a gift,

so I was hoping
that your wish would come true.

But the thing about belief is that
it can change at any moment,

and I think today is the day to do so.
I believe it now.

I'll give you your real gift soon.

This is more than enough.

-Go on in.
-Okay. Good night.

Gyehoon, happy birthday.

Look inside the refrigerator.
It's not homemade though.

It looks similar.

Why do I get such a bad feeling?

Happy birthday, Gyeyoung.

I promise…

I'll find you.

Surprise.

Happy birthday.

Lee Jingeun.

Well,

-I came to give you a gift.
-From this moment on,

if you spew a single word of nonsense,

I'll k*ll you.

Jeez, I'm terrified.

Shall we go somewhere first?

My goodness, don't glare at me like that.

You missed me too, didn't you?

Yes, you're right.

I missed you a lot for a different reason.

Oh, right.

You and Noh Dahyun
looked so chummy earlier.

What?

That's why I came.

I believe now is a good time to tell you.

I'll tell you everything
you want to hear, Eun Gyehoon.

Fine.

That day, the night you disappeared,

-the person that was with you--
-No. Gosh, seriously.

Much before that.

Eighteen years ago,
the day Eun Gyeyoung disappeared.

Let's start from what happened then.

Eighteen years ago?

I told you. I know
what happened to Gyeyoung in the end.

What? You're not that curious?

Of course, I am. But why now?

You've kept it to yourself all this time.
Why are you bringing it up now?

Well,

it's your birthday gift.

Consider it that.

Although I suppose it's not a gift
you wanted to receive.

Do you remember this?

I really wanted it so bad.

So I had been eyeing it for days.

-Bye.
-Okay, take care.

Bye.

YEONNAE STATIONERY

But one day,

someone approached me

and asked me a question.

"Do you want that?

Do you want me to get it for you?"

Of course, I said yes.

But the person said he had a favor to ask,

and I had to do it
to get this game device.

The favor was…

Do you want to come to my house?

What…

What are you talking about?

Tell me.

I'm asking you what happened!

Do you want to come to my house?

Why?

It's nearby. I'll give you medication.

If you put that on, it'll heal right away.

Is this really your house?

Hey, Lee Jingeun!

Where are you?

Don't joke around!

It was me.

I was the one…

who took your sister Eun Gyeyoung.

I got that game console
that you're holding

from that person back then.

You…

did that to Gyeyoung

over this?

You took Gyeyoung over this? Did you?

How could you…

How could you?

Who was it?

Who told you to bring Gyeyoung?

Who was it?

Noh Dahyun didn't tell you?

She also knows who it was.

Oh, right.

Maybe she doesn't remember it yet.

Or maybe she's pretending not to know
even though she does.

Aren't you curious

how she knows that person?

I already know that Dahyun
was a possible witness as well.

What?

A witness?

A wit…

This is it.

A witness?

My goodness. You're mistaken.

Dahyun wasn't a witness.

The game…
I didn't have any game cartridges.

What?

I thought the console
surely came with a game,

but it didn't.

So I…

Do you want to play with me?

We're all playing together over there.

You don't want to come?

So I took another.

Eun Gyeyoung.

Gyeyoung. Are you there?

I chose her.

I chose Noh Dahyun.

But

we met again like this.

This is what you call fate, okay?

This is what you call fate, Eun Gyehoon!

Eun Gyeyoung.

Gyeyoung.

LINK

Now every time you see Dahyun,
you'll remember your sister.

Will you be okay with that?

I remember my sister and me
coming here before.

This was it. You were here, Gyeyoung.

Her hand slipped through mine.

Why don't you ask me
why I was the only one

who made it out alive?

I left her behind, Gyehoon.

I'm reminded of it
every time I look at you.

I can't forget the fact
that I left your sister behind.
