- When did you get here? - What happened to Momo?

- Who told you? - Does it matter who told me?

The bends?

She's almost recovered, thanks to oxygen therapy.

What's her room number?

She's not seeing anyone but her mom.

She doesn't want anyone to see her without makeup.

She's an actress, you know.

This snowman is too risqué.

Yong Joong.

Have I changed that much

that you don't even recognize me?

I guess I haven't crossed your mind at all.

Confirm the facts, post the headline, then write the full article.

Let's see

how the article turned out.

Why isn't it here?

The article didn't run?

It's running in the weekend edition.

The weekend edition?

Act like men, you punks!

And stop picking on weaker kids.

You punk...

Some guy develops one game,

and makes 100 million dollars.

I can't even wrap my head around it.

- One hundred million dollars? - Who?

Ha Yong Joong. The guy who created "Lost Knights."

- That's got to be an exaggeration. - No, it's true.

(Ha Yong Joong, Developer of the Mega-hit "Lost Knights")

That's insane.

Move out.

- I've gone up an inch, haven't I? - You still have a model's physique.

There's a stack of paintings in my room.

It's next to my desk.

Got it.

Is she new?

Momo's new stylist. She started last week.

This isn't a fake, is it?

Paul Kim. You've never heard of him?

I was told he's an artist who was based in Germany.

Did you buy it directly from the artist?

Judging by your luggage, I take it you've been living abroad.

Yes.

Whereabouts?

Hello.

The article was very well-written.

Thank you.

Do you need help with anything?

No, I'm good. You can head home.

Hello. Didn't you get the message?

My father in the US suddenly passed away,

so our reporter, Geum Ba Ra, went to the interview in my place.

(Ha Yong Joong, Developer of the Mega-hit "Lost Knights")

Bow!

Ready for sparring!

Sparring, begin!

(Geum Ba Ra, Culture Desk Reporter, Sungwoo Daily)

This is Ha Yong Joong.

I was wondering if you were

the Geum Ba Ra in the fourth grade at Minjin Elementary 16 years ago.

Yes, that's me. Yong Joong.

Yes, I am.

Can you talk now?

I'll call you in about ten minutes.

Hello?

Hello?

Look at you, all grown up.

Amazing.

Why didn't you say anything yesterday? You totally played dumb.

We were meeting for work.

So you're saying you knew it was me?

How could I forget?

Yes.

The nerve! If I were with you now...

If I were with me now?

I'd give you a noogie.

I thought I was texting with Kim Jeong Ah the whole time.

I figured as much.

I just can't believe it. How could that little kid...

- I haven't changed, have I? - Not at all.

An Hee hasn't aged a day either.

- How is he? - He's doing well.

- Have you married? - No.

Let's meet up and talk. You're off work, right?

I'm about to leave now.

We have to meet tonight. If you're busy, we can meet later.

Bring An Hee.

I don't have any other plans.

I'll try calling An Hee.

What foods do you like? I'll book a table.

Okay, just act natural, like you're having a conversation.

Could you give me a little smile?

Great.

You're kidding, right? About never having been to Paris.

I'm serious.

I've never even been on an international flight.

I spent all four years of college working part-time jobs.

Yes, great.

Okay, could you stand up for a moment?

I thought you grew up like a princess.

I was wrong about you.

Would you like to take a look?

I can delete them if you want.

If it's not going to run, why bother?

Could you send them to my phone?

I can still see the little kid you used to be.

I can't get a hold of An Hee. He might be working.

What does he do for work? He can't even answer your call?

Take a guess.

I just know that he joined the UDT.

Was he able to complete the UDT with his personality?

He did.

So, did he get a corporate job?

He's a bodyguard for some chairman.

A bodyguard?

That suits him. It's the perfect job for him.

Order whatever you want.

The course menu here is nice, isn't it? And the portions aren't too big.

- The tasting menu? - Yes.

- And for wine... - Let's save the wine,

for next time with An Hee.

- Okay. - And how would you like your steak?

- Medium, please. - Maybe I'll get the fish so we can share?

- How about the sea perch with caviar? - Yes.

Let's toast with our water then.

Am I dreaming, or is this real?

It feels like the impossible has happened.

Are you leaving for Italy tomorrow?

I was supposed to leave today, but I changed my flight to see you.

Goodness.

When did you get so tall?

Starting in sixth grade.

You were just a little kid.

Are you disappointed I'm not that little kid anymore?

Not disappointed, it's amazing!

You were barely kindergarten-sized with the face of a four-year-old.

I was really insecure about that.

I was insecure about everything, though.

Especially my height...

Would it be okay to ask

something like this?

Did you end up getting adopted?

I was about to be, but it fell through.

- Why? - It's a long story.

There was another kid you always used to hang out with.

- Jin Ju. Kim Jin Ju. - Right, what's she up to?

She studied fashion design and works in the field.

Sounds like everyone's doing well.

You have a boyfriend, right?

What makes you think I do?

I was deliberately holding back that question.

Are you seeing someone?

Why were you deliberately avoiding it?

I was worried you'd get the wrong idea and think I was interested.

Using the interview as an excuse.

I was completely honest with my answers.

I never even had the time to date anyone.

But you have plenty of time now, right?

If someone catches my eye, why not?

Are you trying to set me up with someone?

Tell me what you're looking for.

What do you mean?

I'll start thinking about it now.

No reporters, though.

What's wrong with reporters?

You're saying that to a reporter.

You're family first, not a reporter.

So where are you living now?

In a multi-unit house in Myeongil-dong.

It's about 46m².

- By yourself? - Yes, of course.

What about An Hee? Is he seeing anyone?

He was almost Prince Charming, but it didn't work out.

Her family was against it?

After his UDT service,

he was a bodyguard for a conglomerate heiress,

and the heiress he was protecting fell for him.

A pretty princess or an ugly one?

Come on.

An Hee is picky about looks, so she must have been pretty.

So what happened?

The heiress even decided she wanted to marry him,

so he got fired.

Hey.

Liven up the mood a little.

You, sit down.

I'm sorry, Staff Sergeant.

I had no other choice.

When your commander is getting humiliated in front of his men,

it'd be a dereliction of duty to stand there and watch.

Now that you're here, have a drink.

I'm not much of a drinker, but...

Get in, Little Reporter.

- Where are we going? - Don't ask.

We'll go to An Hee's place later.
