Love Me (러브 미)

All right, let's try that again.

Let's keep that and go for one more take.

Let's do it one more time.

We'll keep that and go again.

We'll keep this one too.

Gyu Hee.

Gyu Hee.

Gyu Hee.

- I can't do this. - Gosh, what's wrong?

Of all days for Na Ra to get sick, it had to be today.

And you had to go and make the song so difficult.

Where do we find someone to pull this off on short notice?

What about Hui Jeong?

Hui Jeong? You think I didn't already call her?

She saw the score and said she'd need a week to practice.

I'm not trying to blame you, but you could've been more flexible.

This is definitely...

Yoon Ju?

You really did just fall out of the sky.

I heard you were back in town,

but I can't believe you're actually here.

Hi, Do Hyun.

Hey, Jun Kyung, have you eaten yet?

I was waiting to eat with you, so not yet.

Are you going to be much longer?

It's going to take a little longer.

I'll probably grab a bite with Jung Hoon later,

so go ahead and eat without me.

You must be starving.

Jin Ho.

Have you seen my Bom?

It's just that I can't find Bom.

Ja Yeong.

Are you okay?

I must have dozed off.

I was dreaming about Bom.

The dream felt so real, I thought she was actually here.

Goodness.

So it was a dream.

I must have scared you.

Gosh.

I'm sorry.

Oh, and one more thing. You'll need about 5,000 dollars ready.

A lot of people are competing to teach these electives,

and it's a desirable position, so that amount isn't out of line.

All right. Wrap things up and come quick.

The director loved it.

- Send Jung Hoon your account info. - Gosh, so transactional.

Thank you.

- Enjoy your meal. - We will, thank you.

It's been ages since I've had hagfish.

Playing earlier brought back so many memories.

Remember that street piano in Jongno from our freshman year?

I played your piece on it back then, remember?

A huge crowd gathered around us. Remember that?

Do you have any idea how much I liked you back then?

Come on, we don't need to be awkward about old memories.

I was thinking about the old days earlier too.

Back then,

I really liked you too.

But

like you said,

it's all in the past.

I'm sorry, but I should get going.

Jun Kyung is waiting for me. I don't feel right staying longer.

Then what about me?

You're the one I need right now.

We were over a long time ago.

I'll do my best as Daniel's father,

but there's nothing more between us.

Do Hyun, where are you going? Hey!

Do Hyun!

I know.

I know Jun Kyung is with Do Hyun now.

But it's only been two years.

We go way back.

And we have...

Daniel.

I just figured I had the upper hand.

Come on, it's not a competition.

So,

what are you going to do now?

I don't know.

What am I supposed to do now?

Both joy and sorrow

always seem to come out of nowhere.

This feels especially true for sorrow.

There's a certain tribe in Africa

that believed that rain was a sign of the Almighty's sorrow.

When it rained, they wouldn't leave their village

until the rain stopped.

Not until the sun was shining and the ground was dry.

Here in Seoul, unforeseen rain is falling.

Could it be a sign of sorrow

that the Almighty is sending us?

Listeners,

did you remember your umbrellas?

With Bom...

She'd stay still when I'd pet her like this.

I can still feel how soft the back of her head was.

The happy memories

are what make things harder.

If I'd known it would be this hard,

I wouldn't have tried to be so happy.

I wonder if that Oblivion Package is still a thing.

Remember the tourists on Jeju, when we were eating?

- Jin Ho. - Yes?

Do you hear that?

The rain?

Jun Kyung, where have you been?

You're soaked. You should have taken an umbrella.

It's like an umbrella can be right by your side,

but it's never there when you actually need it.

I lied to you, Jun Kyung.

Earlier,

when you called me,

I was with Yoon Ju.

I was worried you'd be uncomfortable if you knew,

so I couldn't tell you.

I thought it was better to lie.

I'm sorry.

I went by the studio earlier.

Thank you for being honest with me.

I've been giving this a lot of thought,

and...

I hope that moment is now.

When you need me,

and even when you don't,

I...

will always be by your side, Jun Kyung.

Jun Kyung.

Will you marry me?

- Hi, Dad. - Hey, Jun Kyung.

- Is now a bad time? - No, it's fine. What's up?

It's not a big deal,

but it's about Ja Yeong.

I thought she was doing better here,

but lately, she's been having trouble sleeping,

she seems much more on edge,

and she just seems depressed.

I've heard of something called Pet Loss Syndrome.

Maybe that's what she's going through?

Pet Loss Syndrome?

Yes. It's after you lose a pet.

I heard a lot of people even go to therapy for it.

They were family, after all.

Jun Kyung. Why don't you all come visit sometime?

I haven't seen you all in a while, and I miss Daniel too.

We will, Dad.

I'm sorry for not checking in.

I know you're busy. Thanks.

- Okay. - Jun Kyung.

And you're doing okay, right?

I'm doing fine.

All right, I'll see you soon, Jun Kyung.

Okay.

Ja Yeong.

What are you looking at so intently?

The five-day market should be open. Want to go check it out?

We can pick up a few things we need,

and grab some jjajangmyeon while we're there.

Jin Ho.

Yes?

Do you think

we rushed into moving here?

I wonder if running away like that was the right decision.

Jin Ho.

Jin Ho?

You don't like it here?

- What? - Answer me. Don't you like it here?

- It's not that... - You were the one who said it.

You wanted to see the first flowers bloom,

get the first kiss of the sun,

step on the first fallen leaves. You'd like a place like this.

You're the one who told me that, Ja Yeong.

What do you mean, "running away"? We're not running from anything.

I was just feeling a bit suffocated, and...

I didn't really mean anything by it.

I'm sorry.

I guess I was being a little sensitive.

You're living with Jun Kyung, right?

Which means you're basically in a common-law marriage already.

All you have to do is take just one more step.

Just one more step.

But for Jun Kyung, that one step is the hard part.

I know.

It's because

my job isn't stable, and...

- I have a kid too. - If there's even a one percent

of ulterior motive in his proposal,

it'd just feel wrong.

It's not because of her.

And it's not because of the kid.

If it's not because of his ex,

then what on earth is it?

I'm telling you, it's not about you.

For Jun Kyung, the issue is with marriage itself.

It's... How should I put this?

She's already gone through countless mental rehearsals,

and run pointless simulations in her head.
