(Episode 7)
Are you really not going to release it?
Why won't you do it? What do you write this for then?
Why do you care?
We are the protagonists. I have a share in this.
Who gave you the share? Do you think a novel is a gold mine?
Stop it. Please!
Aren't you tired of it yet?
You fight whenever you see each other.
Were you mortal enemies in your past life?
Please check Su Hyeon's wound later.
What do you mean? What wound?
The bullet wound.
It didn't go through her. It only passed by her.
I don't want to be treated.
She didn't get treated yet?
She said she treated it herself, but I think the wound is infected.
Can't you hear me?
I won't get treated by Hui Young.
- Why won't you? - He's got no license. He's fake.
Fake?
He may not have diploma, but he's from the medical department...
of Keijo Imperial University.
He quit at the last moment to become a writer.
You seem to be amused by that fact.
Thanks to that, we get a lot of help from you.
You can secretly treat a gunshot wound.
Your family has been running a pharmacy for generations,
so you know almost every drug out there.
Even your distant relatives are doctors,
so you can get medical supplies easily.
You are very useful in many ways.
Where are you going?
I need to attend my grandfather's memorial service.
By now, the elders in the family must be gathered around...
and thinking about ways to get connected to the government general.
I have to go and flatter them to get money out of them.
Treat her. All right?
- Why would I? - Why would I?
Or both of you should leave my place.
Is this your house?
Will it be okay to leave them by themselves?
Why?
Are you worried that the two boys will fall in love with each other?
No way.
I'll be thankful if they don't kill each other.
Take your clothes off.
No. I'm not taking my clothes off.
I can treat you only if you take your clothes off.
Am I a gisaeng? Why do you keep asking me to take my clothes off?
Why are you pretending to be a girl?
Who even thinks of you as a girl?
Do you want me to strip you off?
Darn it.
Come here while I'm still nice.
I said I don't want to. What's wrong with you?
You might die if the gunshot wound gets infected.
So you want me to be treated by a quack?
Don't annoy me.
I might give 10 stitches when you only need 2.
Is it normal to think about incising it even before you see it?
That's why...
we need to see first.
- It needs to be incised. - You look thrilled.
Bite it. It's going to hurt.
- Am I a dog or something? - Just bite it.
If you want to keep your front teeth intact, that is.
I'll begin.
It will be pretty painful, so you can scream if you'd like.
You didn't even moan. I'm impressed.
So many people of Joseon are suffering and crying.
Of course I won't cry over this little wound.
No wonder you can afford to frequent gisaeng parlors and not work.
I heard you come from a family of pharmacists and doctors.
I guess your family is rich.
It doesn't even matter.
They've cut ties with me anyway.
Your family cut ties with you? Why?
I told them I wanted to become a writer,
and quit school.
But I've become neither a successful writer nor a doctor.
I can't continue the legacy of the family business.
I mean, their one and only son turned out like this.
What parent would be happy with it?
Our comrades can get help from you though.
Didn't you call me a quack? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
Guns aren't the only thing that can save the world.
What's gotten into you?
You're talking nicely to me for a change.
I'll give you analgesic.
Once it kicks in, you'll get very drowsy...
It was sensational.
I got a feeling as soon as I started reading the novel.
I thought, "He'll become a phenomenal writer."
So please keep writing.
I'll hold a gun. You need to pick up your pen.
And use your knife here and there like this for your comrades.
If everyone does their best at the jobs,
don't you think our country will be liberated?
That novel...
I really hope you complete it.
It doesn't matter when.
Her name was Ryu Su Hyeon.
She was our comrade...
and lover.
Her wish was for you to complete the novel.
So please.
I beg you.
Please continue writing it.
Don't you want to know how we met...
and how you and I became friends?
Why Su Hyeon had to disguise herself as a man,
why she had to hold a gun,
how we lived that time,
and what our final moments were like.
Aren't you curious?
Why?
Why should I be curious?
Let's say that what you're telling me is true.
One lifetime is exhausting enough.
Why do I have to let my past life burden me?
So what if I know?
Will it help my current life?
Past life is just a past.
This is the life we're living now.
Can you just...
think of it as friendship?
As doing a favor for an old friend of yours...
I guess you don't know.
Betrayal hides on the other side of friendship.
Once you do a favor for someone, he or she will keep depending on you.
That's the reality.
You have...
changed a lot.
Times have changed.
We're living in a world where we have to be cold-hearted to survive.
I think it was a mistake coming to you.
That's why I've told you numerous times.
I'm sorry...
for bothering you.
Then...
I'll get going.
Since we met like this, I should ask your name at least...
(Chicago Typewriter)
Thanks for everything.
He ripped your purse?
That's right.
He ripped it like this for no reason.
And he beat up Gyun Woo too?
He didn't really beat him up.
He did this.
Goodness. I'm so disappointed in him.
- Seol, I need to go to washroom... - That's not everything.
I made lunch for him because I was worried, but he told me to get lost.
He also told me to shut my mouth and know my place...
- He's certainly a sociopath. - What?
I absolutely despise those who treat women, the elderly, and animals...
badly and talk rudely to everyone. Han Se Ju is a classic example.
Are we good now? Then I'll go use the washroom...
Hey.
He's not a sociopath.
He was very rude to you.
He just comes across as blunt, that's all.
Shall I say it's sort of a self-defense tactic?
He just doesn't know how to deal with people.
If you observe him, you'll know he has no ill intention...
Hey, what are you doing now?
How do you expect me to react to that?
- What did I do? - Are you becoming like him?
Why are you having mood swings?
Well, I was just trying to state the fact...
Forget it. Just make up your mind today.
Are you a fan or an anti-fan?
I'll respond accordingly and go to the washroom.
Hold on a minute. I need some time to think.
Think, my foot. My bladder is about to explode!
Mr. Yoo.
We meet again.
How did you know that I'd be here?
I guess you're here to see Seol.
There's something I need to tell you.
You want to talk?
With me? What is it about?
Thanks for being my friend.
- Actually, I'm not a human... - Wait!
Just a moment, please. I have a bit of an emergency right now.
I'll be back shortly. Don't go anywhere and stay right here.
Hold on, okay?
I don't know why I'm being like this either.
Why am I so understanding when it comes to Han Se Ju?
Was I indebted to him in my past life or something?
Stop drinking.
It'll hurt your stomach.
I'm here to say a final goodbye.
I can't go if you're like this.
Good girl.
That man, Han Se Ju...
Why is he so selfish and untrusting toward everybody?
I know, right?
He wasn't like that before. Aren't I right?
If...
I found you first,
would you have believed me?
If...
you saw me first...
Had it been the case,
would you have welcomed me like you used to?
Why did she drink? Was it because she was sad? Or happy?
Can't you tell it from how she looks?
She never drinks more than three glasses.
Why did she drink so much today?
What do you have your brain for?
Think about it. Who do you think caused her to drink?
Is it because of me?
She felt sorry for hurting me?
She shouldn't feel sorry about it. I'm fine.
What are you saying?
Hey, you should run. I need to bring her to the veterinarian.
I'm trying my best.
Mother.
Father.
Mother.
Father.
Mother.
Father.
Don't you want to know how we lived that time,
what our final moments were like,
how we met,
and how you and I became friends.
Aren't you curious?
I put my hand on your forehead.
You worked so hard.
You worked so hard to live, survive,
and make it here.
I sincerely wish...
your happiest moment hasn't come yet.
I sent the camp schedule to all the participants via email.
I finished ordering the souvenirs as well.
Okay. Did you send the schedule to the writers as well?
Yes, but...
Mr. Han is still saying he wouldn't come.
What a troublesome man.
What should we do? To be honest, it's all up to him...
whether the camp could be successful or unsuccessful.
What are you asking? We should drag him here.
Maybe he's really going to...
- quit writing. - What are you saying?
Writers usually go through a slump every three years.
I'll do something about it. So don't say anything about...
whether he participates or not.
Do you understand?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Ms. Kang. What is Mr. Han doing? He doesn't answer his phone.
Well...
He's...
He's writing, isn't he? He must be.
He had enough of break.
He must be eager to write...
He's shoveling now.
Shoveling?
What do you mean by "shoveling"?
He said he'd like to make a blueberry farm in Suwon.
A blueberry? Is he already farsighted?
Not only that.
Once, he tried cooking.
He also tried building things with toy blocks and toy robots.
- Once... - He's just killing time, to sum up.
What about writing?
He's not writing.
- Not at all? - Not at all.
Why is that?
Se Ju.
Hi. You're here.
What are you doing now?
"Carpe Diem".
What Diem?
It means to enjoy the moment.
Live the very moment you are living right now.
I've been spending my time only writing in a room,
so I couldn't enjoy my life.
Now I'm properly enjoying it.
What's wrong with you?
(Mr. Kim's double life)
Why aren't you writing? You're a writer. You should write.
Hey, look.
Look at all the beautiful books.
Look at the writers who are immortal through books.
How could you run away from such a beautiful world?
- I told you I'm in a slump. - You've overcome it.
You already wrote the serial novel.
I told you already.
- My ghostwriter wrote the... - And the ghostwriter...
is a real ghost, right?
I don't care even if you don't believe me.
Se Ju.
Think about how hard it was to make it here.
Do you remember...
the day we met each other for the first time?
(8 years ago)
It was a sunny day in April.
It was a cloudy day in April.
Don't gloss over it.
Gosh, I've been looking for you.
Move the backlight away. I told you it was cloudy that day.
No, it was sunny.
You're Han Se Ju, right?
You were wearing a worn out sweatsuit.
Your hair was parted at the rate of 2 to 8.
You look way better in real.
I bet your books will be popular just for its writer being handsome.
Who are you?
Me?
I'm a dark horse in the publishing world...
who is going to make an ordinary amateur writer...
Han Se Ju into a bestselling author.
Hey, young man. I'm not finished talking yet.
Hey. Hey.
Han Se Ju is an imitator of Baek Tae Min.
Han Se Ju's "Destiny" is nothing more than...
an imitation of Baek Tae Min's "Fate".
Do you want to be eliminated in the literary world in Korea?
Don't you want to get back at them who are saying you're an imitator?
Is there any way to do that?
You don't look that successful though.
I'm going to found a publishing company soon.
I can give you the chance to write the first book to be published.
But you might need to change the genre to more popular one.
- Why... - Why did I pick you?
As soon as I read your writing, I got the feeling.
Talent, character, and appearance.
You got all these three things. You're definitely going to...
be a star writer. So I...
I mean we...
We are going to be incredibly rich.
What do you think?
Do you want to join me or not?
I'd like to join you.
Really?
Why?
You're cheesy and snob. And above all,
I like that you are outrightly crazy about money.
Don't ever change.
That was us.
I never change. Why do you change?
How can your belief change so easily?
At the time, I had a clear goal.
It may have been impure, but I had a purpose.
- But how about now? - I have nothing.
I'm confused about everything.
Se Ju.
What's confusing you? Tell me. I'll clarify it for you.
I said everything is confusing.
I don't know what I'm writing,
and I don't know why I need to write it.
You can come up with reasons.
Just stop a stranger and ask.
See how many people know why they live. Everyone...
- Everyone lives like that. - More than anything,
I am no longer happy when I write.
What's wrong with you? You're acting like an amateur.
I'm too tired from writing something that's worth money.
I don't want to write anything...
that doesn't make money even if it's writing a diary.
- And... - Why would you say "and"?
It should be "but".
And...
(I miss you more at night than in the afternoon.)
I'm confused about the past and the present life.
Did I really write that? Or didn't I?
Is my heart stirred...
because of Su Hyeon from the past life?
Or is it because of...
- He did really well. - He did?
Good job.
It's his first time to get vaccinated, so...
Please watch him well.
For a day, you shouldn't...
Doctor?
For a day, you shouldn't make him exercise or take him outside.
I'll see you in two weeks.
So he got kicked out from the hospital too.
He wasn't kicked out. She has a point.
If people hear that we take in abandoned dogs,
more people will abandon their dogs in front of the clinic.
Right. Why don't you ask Mr. Baek to take him?
But it's too late. We're not that close.
What do we do with him then?
Welcome.
The dog in front of the shop is yours, isn't he?
No.
He's my friend's. They're leaving soon.
I'm sorry. I'll take him right now.
I'm sorry, Seol. I'll be done soon.
Take a stroll around this area. Okay?
I'm sorry.
About what?
You got yelled at because of me.
Don't worry about it.
I'm sorry.
About what again?
I am already living off you, and I even brought a dog with me.
I'm really sorry to you,
but Gyun Woo reminds me of my old self.
So I can't neglect him.
When my dad passed away and I became alone,
I had nowhere to go and your mom took me in.
If you and your mom didn't take me in,
I would've wandered around like Gyun Woo too.
Why are you crying? You're embarrassing me.
Why are you so sorry all the time?
When the kids didn't play with me because my mom's a shaman,
you were the only one that played with me.
You fought for me and always sided with me.
I felt so reassured because of you.
I am the one with the sad story.
Why are you the one crying?
Why are you crying and chasing away your luck?
What are you doing?
Whose tail is that?
Did you say he's not a Sapsali?
- No. He's an English Sheepdog. - He's an English Sheepdog.
He's obviously a Sapsali.
- He's not a Sapsali. - He's not a Sapsali.
If he's not a Sapsali,
I don't need him.
- He's a Sapsali. - He's a Sapsali.
How dare you lie to me? Idiots.
It's just a rumor that a Sapsali chases ghosts away.
Look at him. He's so gentle. He can't chase ghosts away.
He won't affect your business at all. Don't worry.
For now,
tie him over there.
Really? Can I really do that?
If my business fails, it's all your fault, girl.
Why am I the one getting blamed? Am I chasing the ghosts away?
Welcome. Are you here to get your fortune told?
Goodness.
I'm keeping him so that the ghosts won't get to you.
How is it my fault?
I heard dogs these days don't eat scraps.
Seol, you will pay for his food.
Of course. Thank you.
- Tell me. Why is it my fault? - Things worked out well, right?
You have to be a good boy, so she can love you.
Okay?
This is driving me crazy.
Why is that dog so loud?
He's going to bark all night.
Goodness.
It's because he's not used to this house.
After today...
Jeon Seol.
What's wrong?
I'm not going to abandon you.
I'm going to find you good parents.
Why did you cry so much?
Did you cry because you were reminded of the past?
Don't do that. Okay? It's better to forget sad memories fast.
Look at me. I'm living just fine.
Anyway, where should I send you?
(To Han Se Ju)
(Literature Camp)
Han Se Ju is Baek Tae Min's imitator.
Do you want to be eliminated in the literary world in Korea?
Hello, Mr. Baek.
I'm actually calling to ask a favor.
The other day, you said you'd look after Gyun Woo.
Is that offer still valid?
Really?
Would you adopt him?
Gosh, thank you. Thank you so much.
- Then I'll go to your studio... - It's okay.
I was just about to step out for a cup of coffee anyway.
We might miss each other, so...
I'll bring you coffee to thank you.
Will you?
What should I get? What do you usually drink?
Let's have a quick talk.
Two regular-sized Americano, please.
It's okay. I already got my coffee.
An extra shot in one of them, please.
I already got my coffee with an extra shot.
They're to go, so I'd like a tray too.
I'll let you know when they're ready.
Thank you.
Hey, am I invisible to you?
Why would you be invisible? You're perfectly visible.
Why are you talking so casually to me though?
I'd be polite to you if you were still the writer I admire,
but I no longer have any reason to be like that.
It's about time we nail it down.
If you talk politely to me, I'll do the same.
If you talk casually, I'll talk to you the same way.
Anyway, let's talk first.
I guess I didn't make it simple enough for you.
Will you keep talking casually to me or be polite with me?
- Look. - What?
Shall I be short with you too?
I would like to talk to you about something.
About the last time, I...
I apologize.
But if you know everything that happened,
you'd agree that it wasn't entirely my fault.
I fully understand why you got the wrong idea,
but I... I mean,
I don't abuse animals.
Ripping your purse wasn't my doing.
There was also a reason I had to yell at you like that...
Then who did it?
You won't believe me even if I tell you.
I'll believe you. Please tell me.
Do you believe in supernatural beings?
Like ghosts, for example.
You'll find it hard to believe,
but a third party intervened...
between you and me.
- That person is... - Hey, Han Se Ju.
What is the matter with you?
I've been waiting for a sincere apology.
You came to the clinic and left,
so I thought you weren't ready yet.
"I should give him more time." That's what I told myself.
Please calm down first.
Is it that hard for you to admit your fault?
Is it that difficult for you to apologize?
Supernatural beings?
Be creative, will you? Is that all you can come up with for an excuse?
Hear me out first, okay?
Try to use your reasoning if you have a thing called brain.
At that time, I was here.
And you were over there.
From where I was,
I couldn't even reach your purse, let alone rip it.
What can be concluded from it?
It proves that there was a third party.
Goodness. I can't even stand the sight of you.
You can't stand what?
- If you're done... - Are you going to leave?
No.
You should get out.
- If you're done... - Are you going to leave?
No.
You should get out.
I have to reorder because my coffee has gotten cold thanks to you!
Yoo Jin Oh?
Yoo Jin Oh. You're in there, aren't you?
Come out for a minute, okay?
Don't ignore me like that.
Do you know what you've done to me?
My life has become a total mess because of you.
I feel so lost and confused.
I'm also under a mortifying misapprehension.
Come on out.
Please. Come out, okay?
Come on out first.
Come out, and we'll think about how you can reveal yourself confidently.
I'll help you.
Gosh, I'm sad that I'm witnessing this sight by myself.
I know. I must look a little weird to you.
But he's not a normal dog.
He may look like an ordinary dog to you,
- but there's something inside... - Gosh, that's enough!
This is why celebrities are scared of their fans turning on them.
Everything about you bothers me now.
Gyun Woo, let's go.
Hang on. Let me talk to him!
All right. I won't ask you to believe me.
But I really need this dog.
Too bad.
You should've been this desperate a little sooner.
I'm on my way to meet his new owner who's adopting him.
Wait.
I'll look after him.
Didn't you say you're allergic to dog hair?
I didn't know that.
Mr. Baek.
I was on my way there. You didn't have to come out.
I was just wondering what's taking you so long.
By the way, were you always allergic to dog hair?
I don't think I've heard about it.
Some of my fans send me dogs as gifts from time to time.
I had to find an excuse because I thought they'd be a lot of work.
That gives me more reasons not to give him to you.
What other lies will you tell when you don't want to look after him?
I won't abandon him. I'll take care of him until the end.
I'm sorry,
- but Mr. Baek told me first... - I'll offer him the perfect home.
Comfortable facilities and a huge garden.
Staff who can look after him whenever I'm not around.
Also, top-notch food will be given to him at every mealtime.
You can take him.
You stay out of this.
Let Se Ju take him. I can't look after him like that.
But...
Take good care of him.
Why are you acting like you're the generous one?
Are you his mom or something?
Let's go. Come on.
- Gyun Woo! - Just let him go.
He said all those things himself. I'm sure he'll keep his word.
I mean, he has a thing called pride.
About our meeting today... A lecture got scheduled unexpectedly.
Would it be okay to move it to 6pm?
Well, sure. I'll be there on time.
Mr. Han, why did you bring a dog?
I want to look after him from now on.
- Then leave him in the garden. - I'll take him out later.
I have to have a deep conversation with him at the moment.
All of you haven't forgotten, right?
Article 1, Section 1 of your contract, duty of confidentiality.
All right.
This is like a sacred ground which no one can enter without permission.
No one can bother us...
and you can show yourself without any worries.
Come out.
It's all right. Come out.
Hey.
Tell me the truth.
You're just a dog, aren't you?
He had a conversation with the dog this morning.
Now, he's building a dog house.
Yoo Jin Oh, you scum!
Because of that jerk, I had to care for the dog.
- Once you show up, I'll... - Stop it.
This is why celebrities are scared of their fans turning on them.
Everything about you bothers me now.
Mr. Baek.
I was on my way there. You didn't have to come out.
Would it be okay to move it to 6pm?
Well, sure. I'll be there on time.
Gosh!
He's now looking at the sky.
He looks a little sad.
You said we've met before, right?
When is it?
I got a feeling as soon as I started reading the novel.
"He'll become a phenomenal writer."
I already knew it then...
that he's going to be a great writer.
So keep writing.
Since then, I have always been your fan.
I'll hold a gun. You need to pick up your pen.
I hope the hard time you go through now...
is not a suffering but a training.
They say your talent would be taken away if you don't make it through.
That novel...
I really hope you complete it.
It doesn't matter when.
I...
I don't want your talent to be taken away.
Su Hyeon wanted the novel to be completed.
Please.
Please keep writing.
Is the manuscript boring?
Pardon?
I haven't finished reading it.
It must be boring because you're thinking about something else.
Drink it.
I'm sorry.
I'm a bit worried about Gyun Woo.
Maybe I shouldn't have sent him there.
Maybe I shouldn't have handed him over just like that.
I'm not blaming you though.
He would have taken him anyway.
Pardon?
I'm talking about Se Ju.
Even if we stopped him,
he would have taken him anyway.
How come?
He's kind of competitive.
Whenever I was interested in something,
he always wanted to have it.
Right. You once lived with Mr. Han.
How did you know that?
I'm Mr. Han's fan since long ago. So I know quite a lot about him.
There was even an article that you might be brothers.
I also have a question.
For me?
What is it?
What kind of relationship do you and Mr. Han have?
According to the article, you're his ghostwriter or his lover.
At the press conference, he said,
you saved his life and you're a big fan of him.
Of course it's the latter.
So you're not his lover at least.
It's okay then.
What's okay?
This has been bothering me.
The underlined part in the manuscript is related to veterinary.
I wish you concentrate on that part.
Okay.
I think I just loved your talent,
not the man Han Se Ju is.
That novel...
I really hope you complete it.
It doesn't matter when.
I thought stopping writing would make me happy.
But it doesn't seem like it.
Hey, Yoo Jin Oh.
Are you there?
If you're there, come out.
You coward.
You keep hiding yourself in there.
Because of you, my life is now in chaos.
You threw a stone into a calm lake.
You must reckon for what you did, you jerk!
Fine. I get it.
Let's write!
I'm going to write! So come out!
Do you mean it?
You just said you'd keep writing.
Do you mean it?
I never go back on my word.
Let's write together.
Are you finally interested in your past life?
No.
I still haven't changed my mind.
I don't care about my past life.
And you're not my friend.
Then why...
did you say you'd write the novel?
This is the only way to go back to how it was before.
I need to finish this up...
to put an end to this chaos,
so that I can make a fresh start as a writer.
I guess I will find out...
when we write together.
I'll find out why I'm so confused.
And because of whom...
my heart gets...
stirred.
Thanks to you,
I might be able to get over this long slump.
One you get yourself involved in this,
you can never turn it back.
Regardless of how the novel ends and what truth you find out,
you still have to stick with me until the end.
Do you still want to sign with me?
I said I would.
Great.
I'll help you get over your slump.
But...
there's a condition.
A condition?
Gosh, you startled me.
Did I startle you? I'm sorry.
It's all right.
I get startled easily these days.
The parts with blue mark are related to veterinary medicine.
They are already too accurate that it's embarrassing for me.
Good work.
I will get going now then.
Just a moment.
What's this?
The publishing company is holding a literary camp this weekend.
Would you go with me and get some air if you're not busy?
I applied for this camp too.
It was too competitive that I couldn't win the ticket.
You applied for Se Ju's camp, didn't you?
Well, that's right.
Anyway, think about it and call me.
Okay. I'll think about it.
- I'll get going now. - Let me go with you.
- I'll give you a ride. - No, it's okay.
It won't take long by bus.
You should continue with what you've been doing. I'll just go.
Take care then.
Goodness.
She's so defensive.
Goodness.
It's upsetting a little.
This is strange. I had an umbrella.
- I'm glad I followed you. - Mr. Baek.
It's raining. Let me give you a ride.
Here it is.
I'll get going then.
I'm sorry. I didn't see the motorbike.
I told you I'll give you a ride.
Please let go.
There's a condition.
A condition?
What is that condition?
For helping you get over your slump,
you should remove all the guys roaming around Seol.
All of them.
- What? - Stop my girl...
from dating another man.
Are you mad?
Do you think I'll do such a childish and a crude thing?
What are you doing right now?
I told you. I don't want to lose anything to you anymore.
Hello?
Guys.
Let's go.
(Chicago Typewriter)
- I want a written contract. - Go away.
Can't you just do it?
Why are you so obsessed with Seol?
Are you jealous right now? Do you like me?
Do you believe in a magical being?
What is this nonsense?
You've never dated anyone, have you?
Do you want to go to the suburb with me?
I know a quiet and an atmospheric cafe.
Should I go and bite him?
- I can see my past life. - Do you know?
Do you know who Ryu Su Hyeon is?
