Hello, Me! (안녕? 나야!)

EPISODE 10

They said they'd soon be back with Ha-ni. What's taking them so long?

My goodness.

Why on earth would this fall?

Hello?

What?

No way…

Ok-jeong, what did you just say?

Stop crying and say that again.

What did you just say?

What happened to Gi-tae?

Stop crying and tell me!

Grandma.

Is it you, my puppy?

Ha-ni.

My sweet little puppy.

Grandma.

Do you recognize me?

How did you make it all the way here alone?

You have no idea how worried I was

when I heard you were sick.

Goodness.

What a long trip you've made.

Hardly. I took the bus.

You know, I had something to give you.

I'm glad you're here.

Keep this with you always.

It's the only way you'll live.

What is this?

And what do you mean I'll live?

You must answer the phone.

No matter what, you must answer that call.

Grandma…

I guess you're really unwell.

What on earth happened to the great Lee Hong-nyeon?

My puppy.

I'll make sure you survive.

I'll make sure you do.

-How did you get in here? -Gosh!

Wait. Were you home all this time?

What's that in your hand?

Are you here to steal from us again?

Of course not. Grandma gave this to me.

-You know my great grandmother? -That's none of your business.

Anyway, I'm busy, so maybe next time.

Can I have your phone number?

Why do you want it?

I haven't been able to focus on my studies.

All I can think about is you. It's driving me crazy.

What?

Seriously? Pull yourself together!

-Do you even know who I am? -Who are you?

Ha-ni?

My goodness.

My gosh. No way.

How can you look exactly the same as Ha-ni back in high school?

-Goodness. -No, you're mistaken.

Wait. Hold on a second.

I'm sorry!

My gosh. Who is that girl?

Seong-u, do you know her?

She's the daughter of Aunt Ha-ni's friend of a friend.

That's what I heard.

The daughter of

Ha-ni's friend of a friend?

Wait, this belongs to Mother.

Mom, I'm sorry.

I wanted to stay and be with you more.

But I'm sorry.

Thanks to the changed ingredients,

Joa Strawberry has been receiving good reviews.

And people are enjoying it regardless of gender and age.

The power of one's palate never ceases to amaze me.

Consumers are quick to catch the slightest change to the taste.

That's why…

I'm making sure that

my world-class palate stays at the top of its game.

This isn't for free.

Unbelievable. Draw that tongue of yours back in.

-I see the white coating on it. -White coating?

I make myself nearly vomit to clean it, you know.

-No, I don't know. -Why not?

Them arguing tells us it's time to end the meeting.

You're right. That'll be all for today.

-Good job, everyone. -Good job.

-What? -Did you hit me?

-So what? -Unbelievable.

"So what?"

You're unbelievable.

Hold on a second. Gosh.

There's no need to worry. They're just putting on a show.

-Sorry? -It's obvious that they're dating.

Maybe they want us to know now.

Did you know?

Only they don't know that they're the company's official couple.

Unbelievable.

Fools, right?

How do you do this kind of research?

You gather a group of consumers online or through social media

and collect the data from the survey they fill out.

For renewed products like Joa Strawberry or newly-launched products,

the opinions of various consumers

are the most objective data we can depend on.

The opinions of consumers.

That's right.

It's lunchtime, so let's get going.

Ha-ni and I will head out first,

so join us after five minutes.

-Got it, honey? -Got it.

I don't think there's any need for this.

Still, it's better to be cautious at the office.

It's how we've kept our secret.

Right.

That reminds me.

Are you dating someone at work too?

It'll be fun to go on a double date sometime.

A double date?

That handsome cook at the cafeteria.

Isn't he your boyfriend?

No way. It's not what you think.

Don't lie to me. He even made tteokbokki for you back then.

It's not like that.

I have to take this.

You're just trying to change the subject.

Mom?

I'll be stopping by your house this evening.

My house? Why?

Is something up?

I should say it in person, so I'll see you then. Bye.

-Why on earth do you have this? -Mother?

I gave it to Ha-ni, so why do you have it?

-Ha-ni? -Give it back to her right away.

She'll die if you don't.

-Mother, please. -Right now!

Anthony, will you go home now?

Since we're here, let's get a bite to eat.

You used to live around here.

Isn't there some place nice?

Yes, Mom's Snacks. It's great.

My mouth is already watering.

I don't see Mom's Snacks.

It must have gone out of business.

It must have meant a lot to you.

I always went there after skipping class.

I had my first kiss nearby too.

Your first kiss? With that first love of yours?

Even the school has changed a lot.

Ha-ni.

Ha-ni…

Ha-ni…

Dad.

Dad…

No!

Dad…

-My gosh. -Dad…

Dad!

I'm sorry, Ha-ni.

It's all my fault.

Dad… No! Please…

Please…

What's on your mind?

Past memories.

Has reuniting with your first love stirred up emotions inside?

Is that what it is?

It could also be guilt.

Guilt? For what?

The reason she changed…

Well, it could be my fault.

What do you mean by that?

The death of Ha-ni's father.

I'm partially at fault.

What?

We should go, Jeong-man.

Did you throw all the salt we have in here?

This could elevate someone's blood pressure.

I won't

let it happen again.

Newbie, you'd better watch it.

We have our eyes on you at all times.

-Please enjoy. -Thank you.

Here you go.

Hey, Mr. Competent.

Do you know how I can appease the ladies' anger?

I'm too scared to even talk to them.

This is because I disbanded Hanwoo Galbi, right?

-Wait. This isn't what I usually drink. -How is it?

I tried selecting the best coffee for you today.

Dark roast coffee. How smooth.

I taste the heaviness on my tongue.

The aftertaste is rich too.

Nice choice!

Unbelievable. The way you describe the taste of your coffee

is so artistic.

Right.

Wait. I shouldn't enjoy this on my own.

Order two more to-go for the ladies at the kitchen.

Sure thing.

-Hello? - Newbie.

Where have you gone to slack off this time?

Slack off?
