MINISTRY OF CULTURE, SPORTS AND TOURISM AND KOCCA

CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

What time are we supposed to gather?

At 10:00.

We still have some time then.

Let's just skip the MT.

All of a sudden?

Be honest. You don't like to be around many people, do you?

- I told you, I'm fine. - (SCOFFS)

I know you're only going for me.

So are you saying we should just go home?

No, let's go on a trip. Just two of us!

Are you tired?

No. What about you?

I'm good.

Want to take a break over there?

Sure.

Isn't it beautiful?

TIMETABLE

What was your favorite subject?

Art.

Thought so.

What about your least favorite one?

Music.

You took the music class like everybody else?

I even participated in a choir contest with the whole class.

So you sang the song, too?

I don't know. Did I pretend? Did I sing?

I don't really remember.

Maybe I forgot because I wanted to erase the memory.

Who are you guys?

He graduated from this school.

Still, you can't just come in here like that.

I'm sorry.

No one including all the students and teachers?

No one could speak sign language?

Back then, even Kihyun couldn't speak it at all.

But it couldn't be helped.

There was no other school near my orphanage.

It would've been better if there were just one person who could speak it.

But it'll never happen again, because we'll never break up.

You really think so?

Of course.

Even if we do break up, I'll keep my eyes wide open

and keep an eye on you

to see how you're doing without me.

If we break up,

I'll never see you again.

For the rest of your life?

Wow, you're so cold.

That was harsh.

To see you again after breaking up as if nothing happened...

I...

like you...

too much.

You still have that.

You're not asking why I came?

I even practiced what I'd answer to that.

Jinwoo.

If I...

If I say I'm really okay now,

will you believe me?

Only then will I be able to say what I've prepared to say.

I believe you. Go ahead and tell me.

First off, I wanted to ask you how you have been,

but I'll skip it.

I was surprised when I saw your paintings.

To keep drawing without official career activities,

I'm sure it hasn't been easy.

I know very well that just drawing what you want means a lot to you.

But you should also try to show them to the world.

What are you trying to say?

You should engage and communicate more with people through your work.

I'll help you.

Thank you for the offer, but I don't need your help.

I'm not doing this only for your sake, of course.

I want to make it big.

I can't miss the opportunity to work with such a great artist.

This is the first exhibition I'm directing since I came back to Korea

and I want you to be the first artist.

Cha Jinwoo's solo exhibition.

EP 08 INFLUENCE

TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME

Look. So you got a boyfriend. Why would I...

Why would I be upset? Does that make sense?

Exactly.

It makes no sense, so why were you? You idiot!

Yes. You misunderstood me.

Yes, I admit that I was a bit surprised earlier.

Because, let's be honest, he's quite older than you, and...

What's it to you who she's dating?

Who do you think you are?

You're nothing. Okay? You're nothing.

What's it to you?

Whatever. I shouldn't drag this out.

YOON JOHAN

Hey.

Hey.

Were you asleep?

How could I pick up if I was?

Listen. Earlier, I was...

I'm sorry. Earlier, I was...

Did something happen at the studio?

- Songwriting's not going well? - Right.

Yes, that's right.

It's like that every day.

You know, good songs don't write themselves.

Goodness.

Talk about being so obvious you're an artist.

What's the problem? You can tell me.

I'll listen.

No, it's okay.

I'm sorry, too.

I should've let you drive me home.

Right? That temper of yours makes your body suffer.

Moeun.

Congrats.

Forget it.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

You're all welcome to come and hang out in my office.

The students are so adorable.

Why don't we grab something to eat later?

Thank you for the acting.

To check the image of your face, can you put your hair up and turn your head?

- Like this? Yes. Good.

Mm...

I didn't know it'd take this long.

I'm sorry.

Oh! (CHUCKLES) Oh.

Oh... (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

A belated birthday present for you.

Thank you.

Did you find them here?

This one, too?

I'M THE BUSIEST WHEN I DO NOTHING AND KEEP STILL.

NOBODY WOULD KNOW, BUT I WOULD BE DOING SOMETHING INTENSELY.

So it wasn't boring.

Like looking for four-leaf clovers?

Right.

When I saw you sitting

as I was walking up here,

I was reminded of a certain painting.

A painting?

It's a painting that I saw in Jeju Island.

How should I put it?

You looked a bit lonely.

"I want to stay by his side."

It made me think that.

You have a beautiful heart.

You have a beautiful heart, Moeun.

Jiyu, if you don't want to be my friend,

how about my girlfriend?

How about my girlfriend?

How about my girlfriend?

- What are you thinking so hard about? - (SCREAMS)

Hey, I wasn't torn at all.

What do you take me for?

I'm so offended.

- What? - What?

Uh... What did I just say?

- I'll just forget it. - I just asked what...

I was offended by your tone.

Oh, I see.

Yes.

- So it's my bad? - Yes.

- Sorry. - It's okay.

You should stop thinking about it and go to bed.

- Thanks. - No worries.

See you tomorrow.

Sure.

Darn it.

Johan, Moeun's coming over to bring the lunchbox here.

All right.

I'll sleep a bit more.

- Okay. Is it okay? - Yes.

- Go back to sleep. - Wait, who?

Moeun. She's almost here. Just go back to sleep.

What? What's wrong? What is it?

Sleep more. You said you didn't have work.

I do. I have... They say I have a meeting.

What? All of a sudden? Where?

What...

- Do you need a ride? - No.

- Bye. - (DOOR CLOSES)

I should just tell her I feel uncomfortable and not to come.

I mean, it's my house. So why am I leaving?

Why?

All right.

No, I can't.

My car keys... Darn it.

What do I do?

Is Johan sleeping?
