Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (갯마을 차차차)

Why is it so difficult for you?

You see,

I really like you.

So I want to know…

what kind of life you've lived

and what's on your mind.

I've been dreaming of the day

you and I become family.

Say something. Anything.

I'm sorry.

Why are you turning into someone else?

Why are you drifting away?

Why are you becoming a stranger?

I don't know who you are anymore.

I don't understand you.

Me neither.

I don't know either.

Dr. Yoon!

I was actually on my way to your place.

What are you doing here?

Dr. Yoon, are you crying?

What's the matter? Is something up?

It's just that I forgot to pay my rent.

What? That's not a big deal.

I'm sorry. I'll make sure to wire it to you today.

One might think I'm a mean landlady.

Dr. Yoon, it's all right. It really is.

I must be going nuts. The tears just keep coming out.

Have you had breakfast?

EPISODE 14

-Dr. Yoon. -Oh, right.

It's seaweed soup with sea urchin.

I made it for Yun-gyeong, but you get to have some.

Isn't this what you had on your first day in Gongjin?

I really enjoyed it that day.

I'll enjoy it today as well. Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Giving birth sure is exhausting,

but I'm sure it was no easy task delivering the baby.

Go ahead and dig in.

Okay.

It's good.

Come to think of it, haven't you been here for about four or five months now?

Yes.

Time sure flies, and it's scary how people connect.

Who would've thought

you'd open a dental clinic here and date Chief Hong of all people?

Did something happen between you and Du-sik?

You don't have to tell me.

I just thought maybe I could be of any help.

You know, unlike Nam-suk, I'm one to be tight-lipped.

Ms. Yeo.

Do you know

why he quit his job and came back to Gongjin?

Oh, that. That's something I don't know much about.

The same goes for most people in town.

That's why there are all sorts of rumors about it.

After he went to college and served in the military,

he got busy and rarely had time to visit.

But

I do remember how he was on the first day back.

He was a wreck.

He wasn't the man we used to know.

I guess you can say that he held a blank expression.

Like someone who had let go of everything.

So no one could ask him.

We just all assumed that he'd gone through something.

Has he not told you about that either?

No.

He still hasn't opened up to me.

No, you're wrong about that.

Chief Hong… No.

I've never seen Du-sik happier than he is these days.

-Really? -Of course.

Dr. Yoon, what may be easy for one person

can be something difficult for another.

Ever since he was a kid, he was so mature.

He only learned how to hold himself back,

so he doesn't know how to open up to people.

For a long time, he hasn't had anyone that he could share his pain with.

I believe that you can be his rock, someone he opens up to.

Going through both marriage and divorce

has enlightened me.

I regret being so impatient.

I wish I'd told him what I was really feeling for once.

MS. DENTIST

Hello?

Chief Hong, where are you? You said you'd come and help out today.

Right. I did.

Sorry about that. I'll be right over.

Got it.

Seon-a.

-Ha-rang! -Uncle Seong-hyeon!

-Gosh, how long has it been? -Have you been well?

Ha-rang's gotten so big.

He couldn't wait to see you, you know.

-Ha-rang. -Yes?

"Yes," was it?

You're loving it, aren't you?

Is Auntie well?

She is. You won't believe what she said.

When she found out I was coming to see you,

she asked me to get DOS' autographs. She doesn't even know who they are.

How was the traffic?

It's not the traffic

but traveling with a kid that's the hassle.

He was adamant about not sitting in his car seat.

I know he's my kid, but gosh.

Seon-a, just let him do whatever he wants.

Don't even think of winning against this adorable being.

You think so? Then why don't you do a babysitting variety show next?

One with about 15 kids.

Fine, I apologize. Forgive me for what I said.

Yes, and there's another thing you should ask for forgiveness for.

You didn't come to my wedding.

It's been years, and you still bring it up?

I was an assistant director back then and was in another country

pulling all-nighters to shoot a show.

You chose your career over my wedding then, and thanks to that,

you've become a star director.

I take credit for your success.

Jeez. You sure have gotten more brazen over the years.

What? Is there something you need?

Whatever it is, I won't decline.

By the way, I didn't expect you'd actually come here.

I've been meaning to come by sometime.

I heard a lot about it.

Really? From whom?

Someone I know. This is his hometown.

Really? That's interesting. So how do you like it?

Just like I've heard.

It's nice.

Is it good? Take your time.

How long was I asleep?

Ms. Yoon, I'm leaving without waking you up. Enjoy your sleep.

CHIEF HONG

CHIEF HONG

CHIEF HONG

Hello? Hye-jin?

I see you called.

Yes.

I'm sorry I didn't stop you when you left.

We should meet. Where are you? I'll be right there.

No, I'd rather not see you.

What?

What if I see you? I know all you'll say

is that you're sorry.

Like you did just now.

I think

we need to have some time apart.

Not in a way people do as a formality before breaking up.

I don't want to break up with you.

Then why…

It just seems to me you need some time.

Time that will finally stop you from being sorry.

Time you'll need to finally be honest with me.

Because we can't go on like this.

Let's take our time and carefully think this through.

About where we should go from here

and what we both want.

You get what I mean, right?

I do.

I'll hang up then.

YOON DENTAL CLINIC

What's this?

I thought you'd look

pretty, cute, and lovely in it, so I bought it for you.

-Is it clothes? -Yes.

You really didn't have to. I have a lot to wear.

But I thought it'd look perfect on you.

I see.

Anyway, I have to get going. I just stopped by.

Thank you for this. I'll make sure to cherish it.

Sure.

I'll call you later.

Good for you, Mi-seon.

You're in the honeymoon phase.

What?

Why do you sound like you're already in a rut?

Are things still off between you and Chief Hong?

I get the feeling that it'll take quite a while to patch things up.

No?

Hello.

Gosh, Ms. Yu.

-Hello. -Hello.

As you can see, your wisdom tooth is impacted close to your jaw.

Wisdom tooth?

I never had one, so I thought I was born not to have any.

They mostly emerge in one's teens and early 20s.

Technically, they're third molars

but also known as wisdom teeth since they emerge when you get wiser about love.

I see.

It stayed hidden for long without showing any symptoms.

Hwa-jeong, people don't color their fingernails with balsam these days.

Most people use manicure.

But cooks shouldn't since it might chip and fall into the food.

I see.

Besides, I prefer balsam anyway.

Why? Wait, I know.

Because of the saying that love will come true
