Love Me (러브 미)

Dad's heading out.

Okay.

Feed Oscar for me.

All right, you have fun.

Oscar, why are you so down?

Are you hungry?

Daniel, you...

Oscar's food...

I don't like her.

Dad.

Can't you break up with her?

If you don't,

maybe I should go back to Mom's?

I used to feel so tired but fulfilled after my shift.

I've been walking on eggshells around the director.

It feels uneasy.

I know, right? We have so few expecting mothers.

I've been enjoying the downtime, actually.

Hey, if you're not busy, that means we're overstaffed.

Especially us.

I'm feeling kind of blah, and I've got so much pent-up energy.

What do you say we go out for a team dinner?

- Sounds great! - I'm in!

- Count me in. - So where are we going?

- I'm feeling grilled intestines. - What? I'm craving lamb skewers.

- How many rounds are we going for? - Hi, Do Hyun.

- At least three rounds! - Then lamb skewers for round one.

- What? - Yes, I just got off work.

Sashimi sounds good too.

- Do Hyun, are you drunk this early? - What's going on?

This is bad.

Do Hyun.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

Want to walk for a bit?

"I'm fine."

"I'm fine."

All he ever said was "I'm fine."

But

there's no way it could be fine.

That should have been obvious.

I really had no idea.

Of course you wouldn't know.

No one ever knows things like that.

They don't say a word or give any sign

because they're desperately trying to hide it.

I...

want to get along with Daniel.

Why?

You don't think I can?

No.

It's just that...

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Let me handle it.

Daniel has his own pace and his own way of doing things.

I don't know when that will be or what it will take,

but I'll just have to watch closely for an opening.

And who knows? It might happen sooner than expected.

Seriously, I...

Jun Kyung...

I never expected you to say that.

Daniel's feelings...

I can't control them,

and this is going to be hard on you too.

"What if you decide to leave me?"

"What if you abandon me?" I was worried like that.

Goodness, spoken like a true artist.

So dramatic.

Two single adults, a man and a woman,

spent the night together.

Consensually.

What seems to be the problem?

Well...

- It's not so much a problem... - Was it just a one-night stand?

No, I wouldn't call it a one-night stand.

Then it's love, I suppose.

Well...

- I wouldn't say it's love... - Well...

Brother, what is troubling you the most right now?

We first met back in kindergarten, you see.

So?

What I'm trying to say is,

what if this goes wrong and ruins our 20-year friendship?

- That's what I'm worried about. - So what if it's ruined?

Sorry?

I said, so what if your precious 20-year friendship gets ruined?

Well...

It's occupied.

Hey, come on out.

Sorry?

I said, come out.

Aren't you a little old to be getting beaten up like this?

I didn't get beaten up, Father.

- This was an act of retribution. - Good grief.

You really are your father's son, aren't you?

What?

Just drop the "Father." Talk to me like you used to.

All right, Chang Sik.

Right, so...

This is one of those "between love and friendship" things, isn't it?

The classic, boring dilemma.

You can't just sum up our relationship that simply.

Back when we were in school,

you remember what was up with me and Jun Kyung, right?

Could you even call that a "thing"?

If I had to put a label on it,

you chased my uninterested sister and told everyone she was your girl,

until my mom threw a bucket of water on you. That "thing"?

Back in the prime of my passionate youth,

I wonder why I gave up on Jun Kyung, instead of enduring the humiliation.

What?

Back then, I chose friendship.

I was torn between love and friendship.

Yes, right. Some "great friendship" that was.

Hey...

- You were never my sister's type... - Shut it.

Friendship, my foot.

I just didn't have the courage or the confidence.

It was a loser's excuse, plain and simple.

Are you sure you don't actually like her?

If you don't like her, why are you agonizing over it?

He looks perfectly fine.

Gosh, what a jerk.

Listen up!

I know this is sudden,

but our marketer, Beom Jun, just quit on the spot.

He feels bad for leaving so suddenly so he's treating us all tonight.

Let's all get together after work,

so he can show off how rich he is before he leaves.

He said he's buying the good stuff!

See you all later! I'll treat you to something good!

How cool is that?

Quitting his job for love and heading to Europe indefinitely.

I wish I were your age again, Beom Jun.

Come on, Chief. It's not too late for you.

- I lack the guts and the ability. - Ability has nothing to do with it.

That's only for guys like him who treat work like a hobby.

So where in Europe are you going?

She said she wanted to visit Estonia,

so I think we'll start with the three Baltic states.

The Baltic states? I've only read about them in books.

Where are the Baltic states?

- So he's really going? - She's actually going?

Looks like it.

- To think she kept denying it... - Gosh.

- Just knock it off. Hey, enough. - Gosh, cake!

Now this is more like it! It's a farewell party, isn't it?

Is that what you went out to buy?

Congratulations.

Enjoy your open-ended Europe trip with your girlfriend.

Goodness, Hye On...

Right.

You're just being true to yourself. I'm the idiot here.

- Wait. - What's this about?

Wait, why?

(Towel General Trading, Commemorative Towels)

Don't say that! Of course, we can do it for 300 or more.

For crying out loud. Be quiet. I'm on the phone.

No, it's nothing. Yes, please, go ahead. Yes.

We'll take care of that for you. Yes, thank you.

Gosh, Jin Ho!

What brings you here without calling first?

Hey, there.

Yes, sir. I just sent you a text. Did you get it?

Yes, that's right. A hundred each of gray, pink, and white.

Yes, I'll need them by the 15th. All right, thank you.

You have to understand her, Jin Ho.

You know what she's like.

What's wrong with her? She's wonderful.

Wonderful? Did the fiery pit freeze over or something?

A person has to have some...

I'm not asking her to be like a soft, fluffy new towel.

But still, you know? Gosh, she's just so abrasive.

She shouldn't be like an exfoliating towel, at least.

What was that about an exfoliating towel?

You scared me.

When did you get back?

- What about the shop? - It's empty. Now hurry up and go.

What?

Right.

Jin Ho, I'll come visit you soon.

When my sister brought you home and said you were getting married,

everyone was dead set against it. It was a whole ordeal.

- Can you blame them? - Right?

Think about how old you two were.

But do you know that I was the only one on your side?

Of course I do.

My sister asked me why I was for it.

What do you think I told her?

I said you seemed so dorky. You'd never be popular with women.

So I was sure you'd never cheat on her.

What am I supposed to say to that right now?

But listen, it's a huge misunderstanding.

- It really is. - I mean,

while my sister is alive and well,

do you really think you have the guts to cheat on her?

Of course I know you don't.

Right?

I've spent over 20 years living with a man

who jokes around with people who won't even pay their debts.
