Drinking Solo (혼술남녀)

I'll just act as if nothing happened.

I was straightforward, so I'm sure he got my message.

No Geu Rae.

Get in.

Professor Jin, what brings you here?

What do you think?

I came to pick you up to go to work together.

Didn't you get my messages yesterday?

Yes, I did. That's why I'm doing this.

Let's talk on the way. Please get in...

No, thank you. I think it'll be awkward.

Please come with me.

I don't want to.

No Geu Rae.

Hey, No Geu Rae!

What's wrong with him? I was very direct about it.

He probably got the message now.

No Geu Rae.

I bought this for you.

It's premium-quality coffee made with beans from Yirgacheffe.

Let's drink this on the rooftop and talk.

No. I have nothing to talk to you about.

No Geu Rae.

Do you have to be this cold towards me?

I thought you had feelings for me. Was I wrong?

I did.

However, I decided that I should give up.

So let's not talk about it any more.

I know that I've hurt your feelings.

I'm trying my best to make it up to you.

Stop trying because it won't work.

She's so firm.

No.

I can't expect her to forgive me with just this much effort.

I need to try harder. I certainly should.

Hi, Professor Jin.

What are you doing here? Oh, you have coffee.

Two cups of coffee. Whom are they for?

Is one for me?

You can have it. - Really?

Both of them. - Seriously? Both of them?

Nice. Score!

Thanks so much!

What has gotten into him?

Hey.

Isn't it your birthday today?

What?

How did you know?

What?

I heard it through the grapevine.

Through the grapevine?

Anyway, take me out for dinner. We should have your birthday party.

Do you think I'm crazy?

I don't even do that with my friends. Why would I do it with you?

I just wanted to have some fun.

Why don't you celebrate your birthday with your friends?

Do you have no friends? - That's right. I don't.

I stopped talking to them to focus on studying.

Besides, how can we think about having birthday parties now?

You're seriously so clueless.

If you do all of those things, when will you have time to study?

So?

You're going to waste your birthday by studying away?

You should at least have a birthday party.

Forget it.

Stop looking for every chance to slack off...

and focus on your studies if you're here to study.

Is it Chae Yeon's birthday today? How did you know?

What?

Well...

It's certainly an unwanted piece of information,

but I overheard some guys talking about it.

They were making such a fuss about that stuck-up's birthday.

Gosh, it made me so sick.

Hey, you forgot your phone.

He's so forgetful.

What it this?

Unwanted information?

He set an alarm every hour so he won't forget.

He's the one who's making a fuss.

We're going for lunch.

Professor Jin, we're going for lunch. Do you want to join?

Have I ever had lunch with you?

I know,

but I got some free lunch tickets for a nearby Chinese restaurant.

I have three of them.

Without you, one will go to waste.

Why don't you take No Geu Rae?

She doesn't have much of an appetite.

She doesn't?

I'm not very hungry, either,

but I should eat to survive.

I have little appetite these days, and I rarely crave any food.

Is this menopause?

Let's go, Mr Kim. Eat a lot.

See you.

Why is she skipping a meal?

No Geu Rae, you haven't had lunch yet, have you?

Try some cake.

I don't have much of an appetite. You go ahead.

Don't be like that. Just try a bite.

This is premium cheesecake...

handmade with organic milk.

I picked it up at a hotel bakery just for you.

I'm sorry. I really don't have any appetite.

What's that? - Wait. Is that cheesecake?

Professor Jin, what is this?

Did you buy it to work up my appetite?

Oh my. How did you know I love cheesecake?

Enjoy.

Okay.

Oh my.

I appreciate it.

What has gotten into High-quality Trash?

He even gave you some coffee this morning.

That's right.

Why is he being so nice to me?

It's not my birthday today.

It looks delicious.

They are way too excited about that.

It wasn't even meant for you.

What should I do to change No Geu Rae's mind?

This is the most difficult problem in my whole life.

Gong Myung, are you...

Forget it. He needs a rest.

Hi, Master.

What happened?

Were you discharged from the hospital?

Yes. I came here straight from the hospital.

Are you okay?

Shouldn't you rest a bit more?

It's okay. I'm completely fine.

I should go back to my studies.

I'll meet you in the classroom.

No way, Jung Chae Yeon.

Does she really have a crush on Gong Myung?

Gong Myung, you're back.

Are you okay? - Totally.

Why are you sitting in the front?

Because it's your love, Professor Park's class?

Do you want to see her from close by?

Be quiet.

This is love, it sure is.

Cut it out now!

All right. Let's get started.

Today, we'll take a look at Hwang Jin Yi's poems.

As you all know, she wrote many poems about love.

First,

let's read "The Long Winter Night" from the textbook.

Here we go.

"I wish I could cut out..." - "I wish I could cut out..."

"a part of the long winter night," - "a part of the long winter night,"

"keep it under my blankets..." - Gosh.

Gong Myung is reading it so loud.

Look at those sparkling eyes.

Those are eyes in love.

She's saying she wants to cut away some time...

when her love is away...

and use that time...

when her love is... - Those are eyes in love.

The main point to note in "The Long Winter Night" is...

that the speaker concretised an abstract object,

namely "the long winter night".

Eyes in love do look different.

She says she wants to hide it under her blankets.

By the way, why is this so complicated?

This is worse than a love triangle.

The theme of this poem would be...

the longing for someone.

Now...

If Professor Park falls in love with Ki Bum,

it'd be such a perfect love rectangle.

Let's move on.

Ki Bum is the only one here no one is in love with.

I feel sorry for him.

Professor.

Gong Myung, are you sure you don't need more rest?

I'm okay. I feel all right.

Are you sure? - Yes.

Hey! - Oh my!

Are you okay? - Yes.

What's up with you? - Sorry.

I'm sorry. I tripped.

Be careful.

See you next class. Bye.

You did it on purpose, didn't you? - Yes, I did.

I'm so nice, aren't I? You hugged her thanks to me.

Are you a kid or what? That's so childish.

I just wanted to support your love.

Love between a teacher and a student.

Don't you see how hard I'm trying to help you?

I don't. I really don't.

You brat. - Stop it. I just want to help.

Do you think you're in the position to help someone?

You're the only one no one is in love with.

Poor you.

What? You want me to fill in for Professor Min next week?

Yes.

Professor Min must still be devastated.

I don't think he'll be ready to teach classes by next week.
