Rose and Tulip (Bara to Tsuripu / 薔薇とチューリップ)

You partied all night again?

Ajumma, shut up!

Thought we were the same age, though?

If I'm an ajumma, wouldn't you be an ahjussi?

Stop talking nonsense and just get me some medicine for my hangover.

I'm afraid there's no time for that now.

You know you have work to do . . .

since a Nero exhibition is opening this week in Japan.

You take care of stupid things like that instead.

Mr Nero

There wouldn't be anybody who can sub for you even if I look all over the world.

I'll give you an hour. Okay?

He has burst into fame like a comet in the world of contemporary art --

Korean artist, Nero Park.

Many of his sophisticated works are highly recognised

by art curators and collectors all over the world,

bringing him every art award in the world!

His first ever art exhibition in Japan will be held

at the Royal Victory Hotel Gallary.

"Dear my fans in Japan, please come to my exhibition."

Daewon, look!

That person really looks like you!

Doing contemporary art or whatever.

Contemporary(hyundae) art?

Does he paint on a Hyundai car?

It's not an Italian car, but an "itai"(cringeworthy) car . . .

I see. You mean that one?

No. That's "ita-sha."

"Ita-sha"?

Ah, I almost forgot.

I'm going to this fan event in Akihabara.

What's your plan?

I LOVE ONSEN (hot spring) !

Are you a grandpa? Why do you like 'em so much?

No Onsen, No Life!

Okay, okay. Enough.

First, you'll attend the ACA Art Festival's award ceremony.

Then you have to check the exhibits the hotel has purchased.

And there's also a reception in the evening.

The main event will be a live painting in front of cameras

from TV stations. You'll have to do that and . . .

What rubbish!

I won't do it.

Nero

Don't call my name casually!

Ms Myung-A, let's not forget one's place.

I beg your pardon.

Here's a list of works reported for plagiarism.

Find the painters and sue them.

Mr Nero

Your paintings are copied this much.

Do you know what this means?

There are so many fans who love your works

all over the world.

Those amateurs don't know anything about art.

What worth could my paintings have . . . ?

"Found a fake Nero at the Inn Shin-Kadoya. Lol."

Mr Nero

You are the best creator and . . .

Shut it!

5000-yen. (Counting the condolence money.)

Sorry, from Nakajima-san, too.

5000-yen? OK.

She was just joking when she told us to use that photo for the funeral . . .

but I really didn't imagine I had to see this day . . . !

It's true that she had hypertension as well as being always hyper . . .

but how could she die of a cerebral hemorrhage? I thought she was just sleeping!

Perhaps she was having a really happy dream

and got too excited.

Let's try to think of it that way.

We can say she died happily

in the arms of handsome guys at least in her dream!

I want my end to be like that, too!

Have some tea.

Thank you so much.

Kaori-chan . . .

Your tea.

So, could you tell me . . .

if you have thought about the inn's future.

What can I do?

Since your father passed away right after you were born,

your mum had to work so hard to manage it singlehandedly.

Though mired in debt,

this inn really means a lot to your mum. You must already know that.

But I can't possibly take over the business . . .

and you know I work at a flower shop as well, don't you?

It's not like you are a full-time worker there, is it now?

How long has it been since you left home?

Well . . .

I left right after I graduated from high school.

But it's not even a decade yet.

And I've been working really hard so that I could open my own flower shop someday.

You've had enough time for that, don't you think?

But I can't . . .

Perhaps it's too much for you anyway . . . considering you can't even use honorifics properly.

Right . . .

Perhaps we just have to close down then.

Perhaps.

But you know, even so . . .

we still have to honour the reservations already made.

It'll have to be managed for a while by the two of us.

The two of us!?

With me!?

You see they are already exhausted by the funeral and all.

They need a break, too, don't you think?

Now we have no time to lose, okay?

Let's get a move on!

Right now?

Kaori-chan, come on!

Hurry up!

Huh . . . ?

Why do I even have to work here?

You've still got it.

Come back to life now.

You are good! Nice work!

Isn't it though?

Oh, no! Look what you are doing!

We can't get it wet! Not the painting!

Just hold this while I wipe off the water. What is this . . .

Did my father paint this?

Your mum used to say this to me all the time:

"Van Gogh was appreciated after his death, and so, I'm sure my man would be, too!"

You mean this!?

Looking at this now closely for the second time . . .

Nope. Not this one.

I agree. This makes no sense at all.

Not in a million years.

I almost forgot.

I'm going to go shopping now. So, I'll leave the bathroom cleaning to you.

What?

It needs a good scrubbing so it won't go mouldy, okay?

The bathroom as well!?

Ah, I'm in heaven(tengoku)!

Paradise(gokuraku).

What?

Why a girl . . . !

In this situation, you should say; "Ah, this is paradise."

I . . . I'm sorry. I'll get out now.

Wait! Not there!

Hey! Are you okay!?

You can't . . .

die . . .

Mr Nero

Where the heck are you now!?

Cancel everything on my schedule.

I'm going to take some time out at a hot spring.

What are you talking about!?

You know you can't just . . . !

Thank God! You are alive!

Are you okay, Mister?

Are your memories all intact?

Tell me your name and what you do.

Yoon Daewon

I'm a college student,

and my parents have an appliance shop.

My hobby is hot spring hopping.

And I don't have a girlfriend.

I don't know what you are saying.

Could you say that in Japanese?

I'm Yoon Daewon.

I'm a student.

My parents have an appliance shop.

My hobby is hot spring hopping.

As for a girlfriend . . .

I'm so relieved.

Being able to speak that much is a good sign.

These aren't my pants!

Well, they are what another customer left behind,

but don't worry about it -- They've been properly washed.

What is it?

Did you see . . . ?

Sure I did.

NOOOOO! Why!?

It's fine! It's nothing!

Being a daughter of an Inn, I'm used to seeing men naked.

It was quite normal, okay?

Don't say it was normal!

Sorry. I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have left a bar of soap there. My fault.

Sorry I almost sent you to paradise, and not figuratively.

I want to make it up to you. Why don't you stay here as long as you like until you get well again?

We are closed anyway.

Do you really mean it?

Can you give me your contact number here, just in case?

I'm Kaori.

Kaori-san

"Kaori." The Korean word "gaori" means . . .

"ray"(fish).

What!? That's different.

"Ah, nice scent!" This is "kaori."

I see . . . "hyanggi."

So it's "hyanggi" in Korean then?

Yes.

Well, then. Have a good rest.

We can go out for ramen or something later.

My treat.

Wow! Hot spring as much as I like!

Daewon!

How come?

When did you have time to change?
