[A Good Friend to Meet]

EPISODE 9

CLOSED DUE TO PERSONAL BUSINESS

Is the boss's daughter at the hospital?

Are you the Bang Jeong-hwan of Bongsu?

You seem to care a lot about children.

Especially with that bully.

Why do you sympathize so much with them?

Do I really?

You feel for them too much.

Maybe it's time to get some of your own.

You should get married.

Goodness.

That is my dream though.
To be the father of a harmonious family.

Jeez.

They kicked everyone out.

I wonder when
the redevelopment will start.

Seriously.

Please save me.

Are you giving this to Chung-ha?

Yes.

- Only if...
- Hello?

I'll be right there.

Yes, sir.

I hadn't left in a hurry that day...

We're really going to go see the stars?
You're serious, right?

Yes.

Come to Bongsu Market with that ring.

I'll be there by 8 o'clock.

Okay.

Jeez. He really likes the stars.

How adorable.

Only if I hadn't made that promise...

PROFESSOR PARK YONG

Yes, professor.

Okay, I'll be right there.

BROTHER

Wow. Lecture at
the fall academic conference.

The chairman selected you specifically.

- I'll do my best to prepare.
- Okay.

The topic will be decided gradually.

Email me all your research first.

Yes, sir.

Only if I had answered
his last phone call.

Joon-h*, I'm on my way.

It was already late when I had arrived.

There was nothing I could've done.

I miss him.

I just wish...

I want to see him just once.

If you meet you brother,

what do you want to tell him the most?

That I'm sorry.

That everything is my fault.

He probably resents me a lot.

After I started this job,

there was only one time I met a kid.

You met a kid before?

Yes.

I have to go.

The ring. I left the ring
in front of Bongsu Market.

He was a worried child.

He cared for people other than himself.

He was that kind of a kid.

I didn't know then,

but now that I think about it,

it hurts.

Like that child, I'm sure
your brother won't resent you.

Because it's not your fault.

Don't blame yourself.

If you were there.

If you were there besides me,
it would've been better.

Thank you...

for being next to me now.

EPISODE 9
THE LETTER THAT I CAN'T SEND

LOBBY

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

I was going to pull an all-nighter.

I wanted to keep watching.

Joseph.

Get up real quick.

This right here.

Give your strength to it.

- Why?
- Hurry.

More.

More.

Give your strength to it.

And you can be sad.

You don't have to hold it in.

When you miss your dad,

you can say you miss him.

And you're allowed to cry.

You can cry like you did yesterday.

Okay?

Joseph, say "Ee."

Let me see if your tooth came out.

Where are you going? Come here.

Let me see your teeth.

You're not going to show me?

Hey.

Show me.

Hurry and show me your teeth.

Come on.

You're so heavy.

What did you eat?

You ate something
while we were sleeping, huh?

Joseph, did you sleep well?

You're awake.

- Did you have a good night sleep?
- Yes.

When did you cook all this?

I woke up early.

I thought you'd be hungry.

I woke up early.

Who eats meat for breakfast?

- That looks delicious.
- That looks delicious.

Here.

Let's dig in.

Joseph, say "ah."

How is it? It's good, right?

Michelin can't compare, right?

I haven't been to one, so I don't know.

I admit you're good at grilling.

Oh, yeah. I woke up early today

and looked around this place.
People here...

They stay here for at least two nights.

Maybe to get their money's worth...

I see.

Is that so?

Joseph.

Should we stay another night?

Didn't you say you want
to see the stars more?

- Yes.
- You did?

Shall we?

We can fish and swim too.

- And we have so much food left.
- That's right.

No, I have to go see my mom.

- I see.
- I see.

Sure.

Okay.

That's a waste, right?

Yes, it is.

Eat more meat.

Be careful.

- Joseph, should we see flowers?
- Yes.

Have you seen this many flowers?

There's so much over there and here too.

GENERAL STORE

Oh, thank you.

Joseph.

Use this.

This will help you
find your dad faster at the playground.

Thank you.

How adorable.

Is there anything you like, Dong-joo?

Yes, try this on.

HIGH QUALITY SERVICE
A DIME A JOB

Joseph.

Uncle.

Joseph, did you have fun?

- Yes, I had so much fun.
- That's good.

Gosh.

Good job. It must've been exhausting.

No. Not at all.

We had fun too.

Right.

Joseph lost a tooth.

Wow, Joseph, you lost a tooth?

- Yes!
- That's amazing.

- Let's brag to mom when she comes.
- Okay.

Okay, she's here.

Mom!

- Did you have fun?
- Yes.

Dong-joo and Tae-hee showed me
the stars and bought me this.

That's good.

Hello.

I don't know how to thank you two.

It must've been tiring
taking care of a young boy.

No, ma'am.

He's so kind and listens very well.

Mom, were you scared?

- Why would I be?
- Because you were alone at night.

He cares for you a lot.

You do? I wasn't scared at all.

Is that right?

Then, I should've called you.

Dong-joo and Tae-hee wanted
to stay for another night.

They begged.

They did?

Right. Here.

Here's Joseph's tooth.

A DIME A JOB

You did a great job.

I had fun, thanks to you.

Me too.

And thank you

for a lot of things.

Thank you, too,

for telling me.

Also,

if you don't have anyone to talk to,
you can always come to me.

It's better to let things out.

So come to me when you feel frustrated.

I'm here for you now.

My lips are sealed.

Would you like to have dinner with me?

- Are you down for chi-maek?
- Well...

That scared me!

- What are you doing? Come in.
- Hello.

I'm coming!

You scared me.

Father called to go together.

She was good with the kid.

Also, with the tent.

There's nothing she can't do.

I see.

That's why you're so happy.

- What?
- Goodness.

Hey,

I never saw you smile like that.

You're always frowning at me,
so I almost forgot.

But...

I wonder who turned my nephew into this.

Could it be Baek Dong-joo?

What are you saying?

It's not like that.

Damn it. I should've gone.

It seems like it was fun.

Seeing other people having fun
makes me jealous.

Even if it's my nephew.

Jeez.

Goodness, my stomach.

How much did you drink
to be this hungover?

My hangovers last
for 48 hours now that I'm old.

Who did you drink with?

- What?
- You didn't even go camping.

You were excited to go.

I'm sure it's not just anyone.

- Myeong-chul.
- What?

He recently broke up with his girlfriend.

He was having a hard time.

He's was looking for a way
to get back together or whatever...

But why would he ask you?

Seriously, I don't know.

But...

What would you tell him?

What would you do?

If it's over, what could I do?

Right.

- Clean up the rest.
- What?

That jerk... you clean it up!

Dong-joo, I was worried,
but it looks like you had a lot of fun.

One night, two days.

- Next time,
- Send it at once.

Two nights, three days!

Good night.

What are you doing alone
in the middle of the night?

You're here.

Hey, you have a headache everyday.

Hold up.

Here.

What is this?

Are you doing this to make me feel weak?

What do you mean?

I was actually

going to live here temporarily

and move to the famous g*ng-nam.

And?

But you're taking such good care of me.

I want to be with you.

And settle down in this
A Dime A Job house.

Jeez. Don't say something so scary.

Don't you know how good it is
to eat here with you guys?

I feel like I have a real family.

I feel like I received

a Christmas gift
I've never gotten before.

Also...

with Dong-joo too!

Tae-hee.

I

really like Dong-joo.

I can't even swim,

but I'm drowning in Dong-joo's eyes.

Her cute walk.

And her cool personality.

- Hurry and sleep.
- And...

Jeez. You're the one driving.

Especially, when she smiles,

she's so beautiful.

There's not a single thing she lacks.

I'm probably...

in love with her.

- In love?
- Yes.

Love is a cure for everything, isn't it?

Even when I have a bad headache,

it goes away as soon as I see Dong-joo.

If that isn't love, then what is?

I'm sure it's love.

Falling in love.

Why aren't you dating?
You're so handsome.

- What?
- Are you just not interested?

Or are you against it or something?

You didn't take your medicine.
Hurry and take it.

Talking too much
isn't good for your headache.

I did talk a lot, didn't I?

Love is a cure for everything, isn't it?

Even when I have a bad headache,

it goes away as soon as I see Dong-joo.

If that isn't love, then what is?

I'm sure it's love.

Falling in love.

Jeez.

- Hi Dong-joo.
- Hi.

- Off to work?
- Yes.

Good choice. I'd rather be at work
on a summer day like this.

But I don't know why the air conditioner
at home isn't cooler than the one at work.

Isn't that because
you keep turning it on and off?

You're right. How smart.

- How pretty. It's grown so much.
- Vincent.

Yes, are you leaving?

Dong-joo, where are you going?

I'm going to work.

I see.

Let's go together. I'll drop you off.

- Isn't that going too far?
- No, it's not.

It's on the way.

Let's go.

- Drive safely.
- Okay.

Did you rest yesterday?

Yes.

Right.

I'll put this here.

What is it?

Vitamins.

I got canker sores on my tongue
and I got better after taking these.

Thank you.

Take some later.

Okay.

Thank you.

Drive safely.

- I'll get going.
- Okay, go first.

Okay.

LET'S OBEY THE STOP SIGN

You're Tae-hee, right?

Who is it?

It was worth seeing.

Jeez. How pathetic.

Hey.

Go take a look yourself.

You'd get rid of your feelings.

Who does he think he is?

How rude too.

How dare he just nod?

That's enough.

You don't think you're pathetic yourself?

What feelings do you have left
for someone like him?

You look like someone who's suffering.

But he looked like
he was having a great time.

Does he have a girlfriend?

Do you think he's like you?

He does have a girlfriend, doesn't he?

That son of a b*tch.

- That b*stard—
- No, it's not like that!

Leave please.

Just leave.

It's better that way.

Everyone seems to be good at leaving me.
Why can't you?

Why are you chasing me around
and making me miserable?

Chung-ha.

I'm your mother.
Do you think I'm the same as that jerk?

Do you think I'm the same
as that b*stard who blames a woman

for the death of his younger brother?

Just choose one!

Why does a woman
who's crazy about men need maternal love?

Or a woman dragging a man into her house
where her daughter lives?

Or a woman who's crazy over men?

A DIME A JOB

What are you looking at?

Oh my God!

You scared me!

- You get scared so easily.
- That scared me.

Why did you leave work so early today?

Well...

the team leader wanted to ditch work.

Really?

I've never seen such a boss.

He's so cool.

Your boss is cool too.

You don't know him.

Did you have dinner yet?

No, not yet.

Then,

shall we have dinner tonight?

I'll be here for a few days.

What are you doing?

Don't say no.

You know you met my mom.

I won't be here long.

Just until I find a house.

I'll sleep in the hospital when I can.

But I feel bad for you. What do I do?

No, I—

Go to a hotel.

I'll leave in a few days.

Yes, man.

How can you send a woman
to a hotel this late at night?

- Do you want to use my room?
- Living room is fine.

- Jeez. The living room—
- Just stay in my room.

His room is clean.

Kim Tae-hee.

Where are you going?

Chung-ha.

It's over between us.

It's over.

No.

How can we just end it?

We dated for ten years.

Your smell, your behavior,
your way of speaking, your habit...

I didn't forget any of it.

Have you already forgotten?

Is it that easy for you to end it?

Do you still

hate me that much?

Can't you forgive me?

This patient has
a 55% better oxygen saturation,

so he is wearing a high flow.

He'll be moved to the ward later,

- so check later.
- Yes, ma'am.

That's it.

I heard you're going
someplace nice with doctor Tae-hee later.

Sky lounge.

How did you meet again after ten years?
It's impressive.

Well...

Maybe, fate?

Goodness.

- Take it easy.
- Okay, take care.

- I'll get going.
- Okay.

Hi, this is
Eonju University Hospital emergency room.

- Doctor.
- A 38-year-old male.

He's in a state of mental change
after suffering a head trauma.

And a boy,
estimated to be under 10 years old,

has abdominal trauma, multiple trauma,
and the vitals are said to be unstable.

- Call Tak Chung-ha.
- Yes, sir.

- TA patient?
- Yes.

The patient was the driver.

He's currently unconscious.

Saturation continues to fall,
suggesting a cervical spine injury.

Move him
to the treatment room immediately.

Move. One, two, three. sh**t!

- Give me LP and Altro.
- I'll prepare it.

Does he have a pulse?

No, not yet.

- It's ready.
- Good.

Joon-h*.

Joon-h*.

Joon-h*!

- Tae-hee, let's stop.
- Hold on.

Why isn't anyone doing anything?

Can someone please help? Please.

Please help me!

What about now?

- I can't do it myself.
- What about the CT room?

- It's ready.
- Let's go.

October 5, 2020

at 20:18,

patient Kim Joon-h* has died.

Doctor.

How is the driver's condition?

He's passed the dangerous part,
but I think we need to keep an eye on him.

I see, okay.

Joon-h*.

Joon-h*.

Joon-h*.

Was the child in the accident
Tae-hee's younger brother?

That's right. How sad.

No.

It's not a matter of forgiving or hating.

You did your job as a doctor.

I would've done the same if I were you.

So there's no need
for you to feel any guilt

or be sorry.

- It's my problem.
- "My problem..."

What is your problem exactly?

What else

do I not know?

If it's not my fault,

we don't need to break up.

I'll wait

until you're okay.

No matter how long it takes. I'll wait.

Don't wait for me.

I'm never coming back.

Just because we're over,

doesn't mean it never happened.

It's cold.

Why do I make people so pitiful?

Why do I make a sad person

more sad?

What about you?

Aren't you sad too?

Why would I be?

Hey.

Keeping your mouth shut
doesn't mean it's wise.

Chung-ha doesn't know yet, does she?

That happened

when Joon-h* came out
with the ring that day.

Just go and tell Chung-ha.

Seeing Chung-ha coming home like that—

But that's my fault.

I don't want to blame Chung-ha.

I feel sorry for you the most.

You live like you're trapped somewhere.

I feel most pity for you
keeping everything inside.

Let's have dinner next time.

You don't have to worry about me.

Good night.

GOOD NIGHT

KIM TAE-HEE

STOP BY

Do you know
when I was most happy recently?

It's the day you went
camping with Joseph.

I sent you because you wanted to go,

but I was extremely worried.

He's the same age as Joon-h*.

I was afraid you might feel
uncomfortable and upset.

You came back with a smile.

And that made me happy too.

I heard from Father
that the three of you had a lot of fun.

And you even saw the stars.

So I thought...

As much as a tortoise
or as much as a chest of drawers,

you've started to move.

And that you're slowly getting better.

I shouldn't be though, right?

What? What do you mean?

I shouldn't be getting better.

Forgetting all my mistakes
and feeling comfortable...

I shouldn't want to be happy.

You should, okay?

You should be happy.

You've been living with your arms
and legs shackled since that day.

But you'll really die then.

I'm alive and well though,

after making everyone miserable.

I'm afraid...

that I might feel at ease
without even knowing it.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Dal-shik!

- How have you been?
- Good.

What's this?

Something you like.

It's hot though.

Exactly. I know you like it.

You should've told me
to come and take it. It's heavy.

- Bong.
- Yes.

It was around this time when Dong-joo
lost her mind over that job, right?

Yes. What about it?

I feel anxious.

Is there something
going on with Dong-joo?

- Do you know?
- Me?

Jeez. I barely even see her.

Why don't you call her?

She's probably busy with her studies.

Pray for her.

So she doesn't get tired of studying

and pass the exam.

Dal-shik.

You're Buddhist.

You don't believe in God.
You believe in Buddha.

Just do it.

Should I bow 108 times?

Why don't you visit Dong-joo
in her new home.

She'll go crazy if I go
saying I'm watching her.

- Should I visit?
- Yes.

Never mind. She'll freak out.

COME SLEEP AT HOME TODAY

- Hello.
- Hello.

Are you going to work?

You didn't have to do this.

I'm more comfortable walking.

It's hot today.

- Tae-hee's a good person, isn't he?
- What?

He's nice to everyone.

How long is your lease?

I need a house close to the hospital,
and it seems to be just right.

- Until the Fall.
- What?

Really? I should be on standby.

Hello, this is Restaurant Lubrio.

- I'd like to confirm your reservation.
- Sure.

Reservation for two under the name
Kim Tae-hee on August 26th.

- That's correct.
- Thank you for confirming.

Have a great day.

I'm here to get back together
with Kim Tae-hee.

We've dated for ten years.

Tomorrow at 7pm, Lubrio.

The reservation is under your name.

You told me not to wait.

But I'll wait anyway.

I'm going to do everything I can.

I'm going to try my best.

Hello, sir!

Yes, hello.

I couldn't make it on Bok-nal.
I thought you'd need some tonicking.

So-ra, if you keep doing this...

You remember my name.

This helps calm your nerves.

You really can't keep doing this.

I'm going to keep doing this.

This is heavy. Bon appetite.

Hey.

Jeez. Gomtang and now this...

Yoo So-ra.

What are you doing?

- What are you up to?
- Nothing.

- Are you insane?
- No, I'm not.

No, you can't, okay?

Why?

- I can't even like someone freely?
- Listen.

He dated his ex-girlfriend
for a long time—

I like a guy with a past.

They dated for 20 years.

- He's so pure.
- His first love is back.

I'm finally going
to be in a love triangle.

Hey! Why can't you understand?

She married another man,
had a child, and then reappeared!

That's how serious their relationship is.

Our team leader is having
a hard time because of that,

and it's complicated.

I see.

Right?

It's not where you belong.

What's wrong with you?

Why are you so angry?

Don't do something that will hurt you.

Do you think our team leader
will like you? No, never.

They're deeply involved with each other.

So don't do anything useless.

EONJU UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL FUNERAL HOME

Seo-rin.

I'm sorry...

for not being able
to raise you more healthy.

I...

am sorry.

Don't be sick there.

I...

love you.

Goodness. This is amazing.

I'm pretty, aren't I?

Why are you staring?

Am I pitiful?

You don't have to be.

I'm good right now.

I'm going to grow out my hair
all the way to here.

Jeez. I was really sick of losing my hair

and wearing a wig.

And why are there
so many things I can't eat?

You don't know how painful the
bone marrow injection is, do you?

Now that I don't have
to be sick, I feel alive.

I can kiss the hospital instead of school
and health room instead of class goodbye.

Being stuck in the hallway alone without
a friend to go to the bathroom with...

Guarding the classroom
like an idiot during gym...

I don't need to do all that now.

Best of all,

my parents don't need
to worry about my hospital bills anymore.

My dad quit his job as a firefighter

in order to take care
of me in the hospital.

He cried everyday,

and worried about hospital bills.

He doesn't need to anymore.

I hope my parents

live more comfortably now.

Then,

there's nothing you want to ask me?

I'm fine.

Everything's fine,

but there is one thing I regret.

Sixteen.

What?

That's the locker number

of the guy I like.

Tae-hyung's locker number!

BAEK MOK HIGH SCHOOL

My locker number is



There should be a letter inside.

Can you put that in Tae-hyung's locker?

FROM: PARK SEO-RIN

FROM: PARK SEO-RIN

Hello, Tae-hyung.

I don't know if you were surprised

by the sudden letter
from someone you don't even know.

My name is Park Seo-rin,
freshman in class 2.

Even if I introduce myself,
of course, you wouldn't know.

Does Jandee doll

sound familiar to you?

Why are you wearing this with a wig?

- Give it back.
- Try taking off your wig.

That's right, Jandee. I'll give it back
if you take off your wig.

- Give it back.
- Come on.

Take off your wig, Jandee doll!

What are you doing?

I said, what are you doing?

Let's go.

Let's go. That was lame.

I think it was from that day...

Hey, behind you! Pass it!

Your happy face...

Can I have a band-aid?

- Why? Are you hurt?
- Here.

Goodness.

Watching your daily life,

became everything to me.

NURSE ROOM [FEMALE STUDENTS]

Just watching you gave me strength.

Thank you.

And...

I don't know
if this letter can be delivered.

Well... I don't have
that kind of courage.

I don't know if I can dare
to have feelings.

I liked you.

A lot.

Right, I'm moving to the US.

A new drug has been developed there.

Well, I'm going to get treatment
and go to college in the US.

It will be difficult

to see you again,

but I will always support you.

I will never forget you.

He was popular

and had a lot of friends.

There's no way he likes me.

I'm sick.

And I have no friends.

And I'm not pretty either.

Well, now I am.

But

now that I died,

I do regret it.

My feelings are more important.

Who cares if he pities me?

And who cares if he doesn't like me?

I should've

told him the truth.

I should've told him.

I figured that out too late.

I shouldn't have hid my feelings.

I realized it

then.

We met in a strange way.

Let's...

Let's break up.

Yoo Byeong-su asked me to tell you.

I'm the one breaking up with you.

Please tell him that.

g*ng-hee.

g*ng-hee, wake up.

You probably thought I was weird.

No, it's not that.

Are you out of your mind?

What did you tell him?

When I knew it was a misunderstanding,

I thought you would just pity me.

My younger brother

died...

because of me.

Hearing that,
I wanted to be by your side.

Kim Tae-hee.

Your first love?

Yes.

Your first love,
who seemed to still remain in your heart,

made me hesitate.

No. I couldn't be honest.

"He wouldn't like me."

"He probably likes someone else."

My mind

made so many excuses.

You're coming tonight, right?
I'll be waiting.

That's right,

I wasn't the most honest with myself.

Welcome.

- What's the name for your reservation?
- Kim Tae-hee.

This way, please.

You're home late.

If

it's not too late...

Don't go.

I like you.

- [EPILOGUE]
- Oh.

- Can I have a band-aid, please?
- Again?
