DAEHAN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY DORMITORY

Two o'clock.

Jeju black pork neck being grilled.

It's delicious.

What if we get caught

because of the smell?

We're in the basement.

Only a dog could smell it.

Right? Who would come here at night?

Why do we have to hide our relationship?

We're not having an affair.

Koreans are old fashioned.

It's awkward to date openly.

And I'm an RA here.

People may say that I'm dating

instead of working,

or that I show preferential treatment

to one person.

Does that mean we can't go here together?

What is that?

An unlimited pass to an amusement park?

Where did you get this?

From our boss. When should we go?

Tomorrow? The day after?

We're not going anywhere.

We should sell them online.

Fine. Sell them.

You're so obsessed with money.

Just kidding.

I haven't been there

since my middle school field day.

Should we go in two days

when we both don't have classes?

We should go on a weekday

so that it's less crowded.

This is for working hard at your

part-time jobs, studying, and dating.

So, here.

What's going on?

What are you two doing here? Are you two…

It's not what you think…

You are so smart.

So we can eat here.

If you cook in the kitchen,

the kids will come like wild dogs.

Especially Carson.

I'll keep it a secret,

so call me next time, okay?

You made seaweed soup

for your boyfriend's birthday?

Gosh. What a devoted girlfriend.

Don't be too good to guys.

They'll take you for granted

if you do that.

Sergeant Kim's grandmother

made me seaweed soup

on my first birthday in Korea.

It was delicious.

So I decided I'd make it for him

on his birthday.

This is the real deal.

It has a deep, traditional flavor.

Did Sergeant Kim's grandmother

teach you her recipe?

No. It's an instant soup

that I bought at the convenience store.

What?

You should've said so.

Dagnabbit. It's better than mine.

Sergeant Kim Yeong-cheol

went on leave yesterday.

Didn't he tell you?

What? He went on leave?

He said he wouldn't be able to for a while

because of an emergency at work.

That's strange.

Thank you.

CHEONGSOL PENITENTIARY

Let's go.

Why didn't he tell me he was on leave?

Is he…

hiding at home

to jump out and surprise me?

Hold the door.

Thank you.

SEAWEED

GLASS NOODLES

It must be someone's birthday there too.

Wait. That hoodie…

It looks so familiar.

-Babe.

-Yes?

Where did you go? I missed you like crazy.

To the market. It's your birthday.

You need to have seaweed soup.

We could've just had them delivered.

I'll make it with beef today.

-The soup?

-Yes, the soup.

Are you going to cook?

Then I want short ribs.

-Got it. Okay.

-And then I'll have you next.

Did you order something?

No, I didn't.

Who is it? We didn't order any--

Babe.

Wait, hear me out.

Why didn't you take my calls? Why?

Well…

Let me--

And why is she wearing my hoodie?

The thing is…

-Calm down and listen--

-You as*h*le!

-Are you okay, babe?

-It's hot.

What's wrong with you?

-Are you hurt? Is it hot?

-Yes.

I'm sorry.

Take them down and organize them for me.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

Professor.

Isn't this the Hollywood actress

Barbara Houston?

How did you get a picture with her?

That's so cool.

Jamie?

What are you doing?

Oh, I'm sorry.

But isn't that Jamie?

Why was he with--

None of your business.

-You can't tell anyone. Not a word.

-Yes, sir.

We'll be in trouble if this gets out.

It's trouble for you, me,

and the entire school. Got it?

You didn't see a thing.

Erase it from your memory. Okay?

Yes, sir. I'm sorry.

Barbara Houston's son, Jamie Houston?

Jamie is Barbara Houston's son?

He was adopted from Korea

when he was five.

It really is Jamie.

Jamie is the son of

a top Hollywood actress?

No way.

No.

You didn't k*ll that prick?

You came to Korea for him,

and he cheated on you?

What a jerk.

How could he do that to the girl

who supported him during his service?

But…

Why didn't you get boneless chicken?

And you should've asked for more radish.

How can you eat chicken right now?

I told you. Devotion leads to desertion.

You shouldn't have spoiled him.

Hey! You already had a drumstick.

You can't eat them all.

Others have mouths too,

not just buttholes.

Most people can't eat anything

after being dumped.

She's eating more than usual.

She's a monster.

It's because I feel empty inside.

So? Will you just leave them alone?

Forget it. It's over.

I'll never see him again.

Why is it over?

What about everything you gave him?

Hey. What good is it to cling onto someone

when it's over?

Once the love is gone,

it's never coming back.

Tell him to give back

everything you gave him then.

Think about everything

you gave that as*h*le.

Forget it. I don't want to see him again.

Hey! I was just dumped. Let me eat.

Be nice, will you?

Dagnabbit.

Why is she taking it out on me?

She loses it when someone takes her food.

Why is she letting him off?

Right? When someone took her umbrella,

she said she'd crush their bones

into 20,000 pieces.

I told you.

Carson acts like she has a bad temper,

but she's soft inside.

Shouldn't we do something?

We can't watch our friend

being treated that way.

I told you. We should get revenge for her.

We have to do something!

Like tear them apart or something.

Shouldn't we at least take back

the stuff she gave him?

You're right.

Why should he get to keep them?

Let's go tomorrow

and show him what's what, okay?

-I'm in!

-Definitely.

That's too much.

Why are you so upset

about their love life?

It's up to them to date or break up.

Why are you butting in?

I told you.

This is why you have no friends,

you heartless prick.

It's my principle

to stay out of other people's lives.

But it's Carson.

You don't have an aorta of loyalty.

It's iota, not aorta.

You know the Lee Moon-sae record

that you lent her? His first album.

She lent it to Sergeant Kim.

Did you get it back?

What?

I'm too excited about going

to the amusement park to sleep.

I planned out which rides to go on

and in what order. Want to see it?

I'm too tired. Going to sleep.

See you tomorrow.

Has Jamie been putting on an act

all this time,

while keeping this big secret from me?

Why is someone

from the American upper class

hanging out with a nobody like me?

He'll inherit

hundreds of millions of dollars,

but he's working at a restaurant

to pay for my phone.

Was all of that an act?

But why?

Where are we going so early?

We agreed to go to Sergeant Kim's place.

How could you forget?

That's right.

We're going to get revenge for Carson.

We did. But are you really going?

What do you mean? Of course we should.

I told you. It's wrong

to butt into other people's love lives.

That's what he said.

Why should we? She doesn't want it.

We took an oath

to get revenge for a friend.

We should do it at all costs.

You call yourselves her friends?

Since when did you care about loyalty?

You're the biggest traitor.

Revenge? Like hell.

You just want your stuff back.

We said we'd go, so we should.

Where's Minnie?

Hello?

There's a special discount on cosmetics.

I'll go after I shop, so go ahead.

I'll k*ll you if you don't come.

You'd better come.

You have Sergeant Kim's address…

Damn it. What happened to Sam?

I feel really sick, guys.

I was puking all night.

Let's go. We'll get medicine on the way.

No, stop. That's not it.

I can't feel my leg.

Look. It won't move.

You coward. Your ears are red.

Stop lying, and let's go.

The two of them look scary enough.

Sergeant Kim will be scared,

so don't be scared. Go.

Get revenge for Carson on my behalf.

That selfish coward.

I told you that traitor wouldn't go.

When did you say that?

You always say you said it.

Let's go. Off we go.

Se-wan!

You got here early. Sorry I'm late.

It's fine.

It was so smart to come on a weekday.

It isn't crowded,

so we can ride everything.

Look.

These are always packed,

so we should ride those first.

What's this? Why does this feel

so awkward and distant?

Is he really the same Jamie who ate

with me in the storage room?

He's smiling on the outside,

but I wonder what he's thinking inside.

Ta-da.

He's all excited.

It's cute.

Why do I feel so betrayed?

Hey. Are you that happy?

You grew up in America.

You must've been

to better amusement parks.

No. I've never been to one.

It's my first time.

Let's go.

My shoelace.

Let's go.

Come in.

I wondered how I should send Carson

her things.

Thank you for coming.

Whatever.

If you borrow something,

you should return it.

Sorry? What do you mean?

You borrowed a Lee Moon-sae album

from her, right?

That's mine.

It is?

Would you look for it in here?

I really wanted to try this.

-Go ahead. Help yourself.

-Awesome.

What a nice drone.

I've been wanting to get one.

I've never seen this one. Is it new?

My uncle got it for me

when he went to the States for work.

-Try it out.

-You mean it?

Sure.

Make yourselves at home

and hang out while I pack Carson's things.

Hey. This is Yoon Jong-shin's

limited edition record.

My gosh.

I searched all over

Dongmyo Flea Market but couldn't find it.

Goodbye, my old love

I'm preparing all day to say goodbye

Let's go to the other side now.

Our safari reservation is coming up,

so let's head there.

-Are you hungry?

-No.

I need to use the bathroom.

Okay.

He has never been

to an amusement park before?

Liar.

How much of it is a lie?

Is anything true?

What does he take me for?

I made him work multiple jobs

and ripped him off.

I must've looked like such an idiot,

acting like I had one up on him.

Hey! Se-wan!

Hey. Carson.

-What are you--

-What about you?

Well…

I was…

Are you working here too?

-Yes. Yes, I'm working.

-I see.

-Are you here alone?

-Yes.

You didn't follow me

because you were worried, did you?

I'm working.

Okay, then.

I felt frustrated.

I came to get some fresh air.

I see. I understand.

I came without thinking,

but I felt awkward being here alone.

Gosh. This is great.

Right?

Yes, this is great!

Don't come.

Hey. What's wrong?

Hey.

-I'm just so happy to see you.

-Okay. I'm happy to see you too.

I need to run to the bathroom.

Okay. Go ahead.

SOFT AND SWEE

COTTON CANDY

Carson? What's she doing here?

That was close.

I can't believe we ran into her here.

You heard, right?

She and her boyfriend broke up.

He cheated on her.

Really?

I had no idea.

So that's why she's here alone.

What do we do? She'll find out.

-Darn it.

-Find out what?

What else? That we're secretly dating.

That's right! I've got you now!

I was thankful today

Okay.

That's everything.

This is so nice. I can't believe

I got to listen to this on a record.

The whole album is good.

You can take it if you'd like.

What?

You lent me the Lee Moon-sae album.

It's my token of gratitude.

May I really?

Thank you.

Hey. You.

Let's go, punk.

This is awesome.

It feels so real.

You can have it then. I'm tired of it now.

What? This?

Thank you, bro.

So…

Can I buy this drone in Korea too?

Don't buy one. Just take it.

What?

-May I really?

-Sure.

Congratulations, you two.

You make a good couple.

Sorry.

You're feeling down, but…

Why are you sorry?

I'm the one who's sorry.

It's your first date,

but I've k*lled the mood.

I should've just left you.

It's okay. You didn't.

Have fun then.

Don't mind me.

Okay. See you back at the dorm.

Okay.

Carson.

Since you're here anyway,

hang out with us.

We'll feel terrible if we left you.

Hang out with us.

Are you sure?

What? You didn't get revenge,

but you got gifts from him?

Are you guys nuts?

You call yourselves her friends?

I mean…

Sergeant Kim was just so nice.

It just happened.

I wish I had met him sooner.

Why did they have to break up?

I told you. He's a great guy.

He's the real deal.

I called him "bro"

without even realizing it.

But did he really just give these to you?

All you said was, "This is so nice"?

I told you. He's a really great guy.

You should've seen him.

Hey. Get your act together,

and pack up everything you got from him.

-We're returning them.

-What?

Do we have to go back just to return them?

Shut up, and let's go.

I'll teach this as*h*le a lesson.

I told you.

I said Minnie would give us crap.

You didn't tell us anything.

Since when did you have that many lines?

Hey! You said you couldn't walk.

It's better now. Look. It's all better.

It was your left leg.

I see. You used to come here

with Sergeant Kim.

Yes. When I first came to Korea,

we came here all the time.

We'd hang out in the amusement park

and eat dinner here.

He loved their stir-fried pork.

You must've been down.

Sorry, Carson.

I wanted to finish where we started.

Sort of like a funeral for love.

Hey, I'm really okay,

so don't be like that.

You look like you're at a funeral.

That looks good.

Se-wan. Here.

Hey. Are you that clueless?

-This is not the time.

-Why not? She says it's okay. Come on.

Gosh. You guys are so sweet.

When did you first know about us?

I could tell during that group blind date.

The way you tagged along,

and how Se-wan acted.

There are three things you can't hide

no matter how hard you try.

Poverty, a cold,

and love.

One more. Hunger.

What brings you back here?

You know who I am, right?

Carson's best friend.

We met when we visited you.

Yes, Minnie. It's been a while.

That's right. Did you get

the key for the handcuffs out?

What? Whatever.

What are you doing, assholes?

Give them back.

Here.

Here.

Here.

You can keep them.

Also, let me be completely frank.

You really--

Babe, is someone here?

Babe.

So you must be that witch.

-Hey.

-Hello.

As a fellow woman, how could you do that?

He was taken.

I'm really sorry about that.

I didn't know this would happen.

What? You're sorry?

-Are you kidding me?

-Oh my.

Is that by your nose

a mole or sebum?

What?

It's a mole. It wasn't there before.

It just showed up.

The clinic director is my cousin.

For real?

The director of Snow White Dermatology is

your cousin?

If I go with you,

will I get a good discount?

A discount? It'll all be free.

Oh my gosh.

Thank you so much.

Ms. Minnie, give me your number.

Don't be so formal.

Let's be friends.

This…

Is this real? This is so cool.

This…

My dad's company gave him this gold toad

when he retired.

Okay. I see.

Why is his dad's retirement gift here?

My gosh. Look at the color.

It's so pretty. This must be jade.

-Yes. It belonged to my late grandmother.

-I see.

My grandmother adored me.

I see.

What the hell?

He gave the others everything they liked.

Why can't I have anything?

Gosh, this is…

This is really nice.

-Yes, isn't it?

-Yes.

You can take it.

Really?

I ate too much. I'm stuffed.

I'm going to get some fresh air.

Are you going to take a dump?

Seriously. Stop that.

And it's not that I go all the time.

I'm too sensitive to go at all.

Get it straight.

What's with the sudden attitude?

I didn't know he could be so cute.

Jamie is really kind and thoughtful.

Look at him leaving us alone

so we could talk.

Punk. What a catch.

Anyway, is something wrong?

Did you two fight?

Or is it still awkward being alone

with him?

-Can you tell?

-Totally.

You're pretending to look after me

and are sticking by my side.

It's so obvious that you're trying

to keep a distance from him.

Well…

I can tell how you're pretending

to be fine too.

It's hard, right?

Breaking up with that as*h*le

Sergeant Kim?

Yes.

Trust me. It's not hard at all.

When I threw the seaweed soup at him,

that as*h*le thought that girl got hurt

and freaked out and glared at me.

Those eyes…

I knew that instant

that our love was over.

I wasn't pissed off.

It was like I had jumped into ice water.

It totally woke me up.

Everything became clear.

That's it?

Your love was over, so that's it?

The person you loved lied to you.

-How can you forgive him?

-He didn't lie to me.

Our love ended.

Just because it ended,

it doesn't mean that it was all a lie.

When we were in love, we loved sincerely.

That's enough.

I don't get it.

When I wanted to come to Korea with him,

I thought my mom would be

completely against it.

But she said

it was a once-in-a-lifetime romance,

and to love freely.

She was really cool about it.

As my mom said,

that love will remain in my heart forever.

That's good enough.

You guys go ahead.

I'm going to meet up with someone.

Sergeant Kim?

I'll go with you.

What? I can go by myself.

It's just that I'm worried.

Jamie. I'm sorry, but…

I think I should

be there for Carson tonight.

You should go ahead.

Okay.

Be careful. Call me when you get home.

Isn't it funny?

When you think about it,

that as*h*le stayed the same.

I'm the one that changed.

If I hadn't gone with the seaweed soup

to celebrate his birthday,

I'd still be in love with him.

Gosh. Dagnabbit.

You said it was over.

Is it not?

I don't know.

It's just ridiculous

how it changed overnight.

If I didn't know…

What if I took a time machine

to yesterday morning

and knocked the pot off the stove?

Then you'd be lying to yourself.

Why? I can do that if I need to.

There's nothing I can do

if someone lies to me,

but it's my decision if I lie to myself.

Although I don't know

why someone loves me,

I know exactly why I love him.

He stayed by my side, he was thoughtful,

he worried that I'd be lonely or scared.

Whenever I was tired and felt drained,

he encouraged me.

Then I should hold onto him.

That's what I think.

You should be selfish

when it comes to love.

Will you hold onto Sergeant Kim?

No. It's over between us.

There's just something

I need to say to him.

Then you should go by yourself.

-Good luck.

-Oh, okay.

-I'll go then.

-Okay.

Bye.

Gosh. Thank you for today, Sergeant Kim.

Same here.

I had fun, bro.

Me too.

Good night, sis.

I'll see you then.

Okay. I'll book it and call you.

Text me when you get home.

Thank you for coming over.

Come again.

This way.

What are you guys doing here?

Carson. Well…

They came to pick up your things.

Don't get the wrong idea.

Whatever.

I came to tell you something

for the last time.

I'm not here to vent or beg,

so you can relax.

Okay, go ahead.

You fell in love with another girl?

Sure. It can happen.

But you should've ended it with me first.

It's disrespectful toward me

to two-time me like that.

So, let me hit you just once.

Yes. When I get confused,

I should think only about myself.

I'll be strictly selfish.

If I hadn't seen that picture yesterday,

the Jamie from that picture

wouldn't exist.

I never saw that picture.

Until one day,

when it's okay for me to know…

Until you tell me everything,

you are just the clueless,

bumbling idiot that I know.

Jamie.

Se-wan. What about Carson?

Well…

It felt weird tagging along

since she was going to see Sergeant Kim.

See? I was right.

Sorry. It was our first date…

Don't be. I still had fun,

but you had to console Carson.

Let's go.

We can go to the amusement park

another time.

Sure. Let's put on a disguise

so no one can recognize us.

Okay.

Aren't you hungry?

You didn't eat much because of Carson.

You ate less.

Shall we have a barbeque

in the storage room?

Sounds good.

But what if Hyun-min comes again?

-He has the nose of a hound.

-We'll lock the door.

Should we?

Carson came out of nowhere.

Nothing happened.

It's fine as long as I ignore it.

I hope the world

doesn't come to an end tomorrow.

Because I have to see you again tomorrow.
