Lonely Enough to Love (Love is Annoying, But I Hate Being Lonely / Yeonaeneun gwichanhjiman wiroun geon simlheo! / 연애는 귀찮지만 외로운 건 싫어!)

My dream

was never able to spread its wings.

It fell on the ground

and got covered in blood.

You don't have to do anything.

I want to be alone.

I want to be someone

you need.

There are so many people who are better off than her.

She already has it tough.

She thought her dream was finally coming true.

They called her a writer

and got her all excited.

How could they just throw her away like this?

Poor Na-eun.

Hey. It's those guys who are bad.

Why are you crying? Don't cry.

I'll catch those guys and teach them a lesson.

I'll use my connections to find those swindlers too.

Na-eun must hate the world right now.

It makes me feel awful just imagining being Na-eun.

How do you think she'd feel?

No one can imagine. Only she would know.

I'LL WALK AT YOUR PACE

Na-eun.

Are you inside?

Lee Na-eun.

Answer me if you're inside.

Lee Na-eun.

Hey, Na-eun.

If you're not at home,

then where are you?

NA-EUN, ARE YOU OKAY?

YOU HAVE 54 MISSED CALLS.

Kang-woo.

Were you here all night?

You look like you were up all night too.

Did you get in contact with Na-eun?

Na-eun.

Na-eun.

I heard voices outside so I came out. What are you two doing here?

Are you kidding me? Why didn't you pick up your phone?

You're okay, right?

I'm fine.

It's normal to run into ridiculous situations like this in life.

I might want to be alone from time to time.

Anyway, did you all have breakfast?

Since Na-eun isn't here,

Hyun-jin and Kang-woo didn't show up either.

Hyun-jin is her friend, so I understand,

but I guess she got really close to Kang-woo too.

They're next-door neighbors.

Of course he's more concerned about her than us.

This is the dish Na-eun liked the most out of what I made.

I prepared it hoping some sweets would get her spirits up.

My nosiness made me overcook.

Don't you think Na-eun will come back soon?

She'll feel bad about us worrying about her.

I have a feeling she'll show up as usual.

It'd be best not to ask her anything until she talks about it first.

What's the point in talking about this?

She's not here.

Na-eun.

It's my favorite, pancakes. Good morning.

Yes. Good morning to you too, Na-eun.

Na-eun, the owner brought this menu back just for you.

Have a lot.

Sugar works the best when you're down.

I love sugar. I need it right now.

- Thank you for the food. - Of course.

The attendance is higher than usual. It's nice.

Yes.

Where's the maple syrup?

Actually, I couldn't sleep a wink last night.

I was going to read just a few pages,

but I couldn't put down your book.

Those people who swindled you are going to get punished.

No. You'll meet a good publisher and things will go well.

"Failure is the mother of success," right?

Not failure. A mistake...

No, disappointment.

Disappointment is the mother of success.

That's wrong too, right?

Gosh. Go ahead and eat.

Eat. Go ahead. Go on.

It's so delicious.

Go ahead and eat.

"SCENARIO"

"YOU CAN HAVE IT"

Where did you sleep last night?

At a friend's.

Friend who?

It wasn't A-reum or Ji-a.

Would you know if I told you who?

I ate well and slept well.

Nothing happened, so don't worry.

Where are you going now?

Are you a tick? I'm taking out the trash.

PLASTIC, PAPER, CAN, GLASS

PRACTICE NOTEBOOK

What's the big deal?

These are just notes.

Not everyone can become a writer because they want to.

Just because you dream, it doesn't mean you can fulfill it.

Crying won't solve

anything.

I'll just go back to my place.

I feel lighthearted thinking I won't write anymore.

I won't have to force myself to struggle or waste my energy.

It's for the better.

PRACTICE NOTEBOOK

Why don't you rest at home today?

I'm already recharged. I took the day off yesterday.

If you don't have anything today,

do you want to go to a beach?

With you? Why?

Well...

You didn't even get close to water this summer.

So are you going to give me a tour?

I'm really fine, so just act normal.

Also, I'm super busy today.

Where are you going?

Where should I drive you?

Did you bring your car too? I was going to drive her.

You two can go together.

I should walk on a nice day like today.

She's just like usual.

LANDLORD

Ma'am.

You said you'd send me two months' worth of rent first.

I didn't get it yet.

I'm not talking about compensation right now.

You're being too harsh.

You should think about me

having to live outside of my own place.

Yes. Please send it as soon as possible.

This is Lee Na-eun.

I haven't received my payment yet.

It's already past the date you promised.

Yes. Thank you.

You need a proofreader for a new novel?

PRACTICE NOTEBOOK

POCKET PRINCE

Gosh, I'm hungry.

I only wrote two pages today.

Tteokbokki? Malatang? Sundae soup?

Dear writing fairy, help me write just one page. Please!

My head isn't full of rocks, is it?

I'm exhausted.

How much longer do I have to write and fix it?

I can't tell if it's getting better,

and I'm not sure if my writing is good.

Maybe I'm not cut out for this.

If I work this hard, will I achieve my dream someday?

I can't see the end.

I CAN'T SEE THE END.

Is there even an end?

Mr. Cha.

Did you see it?

Not on purpose. I only saw what was visible.

It looks like a woman's handwriting.

Don't try to know more.

- I won't tell you anything. - That's cute.

You really changed a lot.

It makes me wonder if you're the Cha Kang-woo I knew 15 years ago.

Mom...

JEON MI-HYUN

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I...

I should've been more affectionate.

I should've listened to you.

JEON MI-HYUN, CHA KANG-WOO

- How dare you come here? - Why are you raising your voice?

Visitors are here to pay their respects.

Get out. I said, get out!

Someone shameless like you shouldn't be here.

You rude punk.

How could you talk to your dad like that?

She must've died early so she wouldn't have to see you behave like this.

Don't you dare talk about her.

You must want to blame me for her death.

But she died due to depression.

And whose fault is that?

I gave her everything she asked for.

She wanted a divorce, so I agreed to it.

So what?

Did you come here to show her that you're happy with your new wife?

I told you that we shouldn't come.

People are selfish.

They only think about themselves.

We should understand.

I pity him.

What? You pity me?

Kang-woo, don't.

Just show your condolences and leave.

You're nothing but an incompetent nurse who couldn't take care of your patient.

- I don't understand why Mom had to-- - Enough!
