My meeting finished a bit early so I'm going to leave now.
Where are you?
I had some work so I'm outside right now. I'll make sure I'll be where we planned to meet on time.
Yes. I'll see you later.
Okay, I'll see you later.
Episode 11
Ara Hotel Best Hotelier Min Ha Ri
Selected as Ara Hotel's best hotelier of the month
Min Ha Ri?
Yes.
Seong Joon...
Min Ha Ri.
Who are you?
Why?
How the heck could you have been Kim Hye Jin?
What have you been doing this whole time?
Who are you?
What the heck is your true identity?
I'll explain everything, Seong Joon.
Seong Joon, what happened was that-
Answer me.
Who are you?
A friend.
Hye Jin's friend.
She asked me a favor. I needed to meet with you only once.
But after I bumped into you again at the hotel, things became complicated.
I was going to meet with you today to explain everything and apologize-
Then is the real Kim Hye Jin...
Is it her?
The person who I think it is?
Yeah.
You're right.
Seong Joon, I'm sorry for deceiving you.
I wasn't planning on dragging this out for so long-
I actually have naturally vicious curls
Yo-Your hair!
My hair?
My hair!
I'm Kim Hye Jin. Kim! Hye! Jin!
Oh? It's a go!
♫ Saying I want to see you fills my heart ♫
♫ but I can't say anything. ♫
♫ After walking far behind your heart ♫
♫ Rather than my own ♫
♫ I still don't know. You don't know. ♫
♫ Always... ♫
Why are you laughing?
Oh, I was just thinking about somebody.
But the peeping girl makes it look a picture puzzle.
If you don't look carefully, you can't even tell she's there, like a hidden picture game.
♫ Sometime even if you laugh at me, it's okay. ♫
I think I'll have to use
my last request today.
My last request is,
this.
If you're going to hesitate like that and can't even go to him, just come to me.
Give me a chance too, hm?
No but...
But Editor, I-I...
Take the call.
Yes, Deputy Chief.
It's been a long time,
Kim Hye Jin.
Pardon?
We just met earlier at the art gallery. What are you saying-
It's been a while,
Hye Jin.
I missed you,
Kim Hye Jin.
Seong Joon.
Where are you right now?
Let's meet.
Don't go.
Don't go, Jackson.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, Editor.
I'm sorry.
♫ The place from where I used to look at you, I'm here. ♫
Hye Jin. Whereabouts are you right now?
I'm at the crosswalk in front of the company. Where are you?
Oh, then are you on the other side?
Oh, I'm crossing the road right now.
I've found you.
I've finally found you,
Kim Hye Jin.
Why on earth did you hide?
Why didn't you say anything? Do you know how much I-?
Nevermind.
Nevermind, Hye Jin.
I recognized you far too late.
I should've found you earlier,
but I was late.
I'm sorry.
You must've have a hard time by yourself.
You were so close to me this whole time. How could I not have recognized you, like an idiot?
Let me see.
Even if I look at you this way, it's you.
And even if I look at you this way, it's you too.
It's you.
My friend, Kim Hye Jin.
♫ Beside me you, not some other person, ♫
Oh? It's a go. ♫ are always watching. ♫
Oh? You're right. It's a go. ♫ are always watching. ♫
♫ The way you talk and look are not unfamiliar. ♫
♫ You are the person I've been waiting for ♫
That day, I did go out to meet you. ♫ You are the person I've been waiting for ♫
But?
When you didn't recognize me and just walked by,
I suddenly felt as small as a finger nail.
It was when I was jobless,
and I also felt as though I had become so different from the image of Kim Hye Jin you remembered,
so I lost the confidence to face you.
Then looking back, I see everything began with my mistake. If only I hadn't done that then...
No, what are you saying?
It's my fault for getting scared and hiding.
Wow, it's so pretty!
♫It seems I don't know anything else except to love you ♫ Let's go.
♫ Your voice calling me (my voice calling you)
♫ It seems you love me too ♫
I didn't know anything then.
I wonder what you must've felt, knowing everything while seeing me.
But that lie continued to grow like a snowball, rolling and rolling,
until a moment in time when it became too big for me to handle.
That's why it became harder for me to reveal it as time went on.
Wait a minute. Now that I think about it, I'm beginning to feel a bit sad.
About what?
If my situation had become worse than before,
then would you have been disappointed in me and regretted meeting me?
I thought that that sort of thing wouldn't be important particularly between us.
Am I the only one who thinks that way?
No matter how different your circumstances were,
or how you would look when you appeared in front of me,
it wouldn't have mattered to me at all. Ever.
At that time... if I hadn't hidden myself like that,
it would have been so much... so much better.
I'm regretting it.
Let's not regret. Let's not look back either.
From now on, let's only look at the present, Hye Jin.
But you must have already heard all of these things from Ha Ri.
No. I'm hearing it for the first time from you.
While coming here, I just assumed why some of these things must have happened.
What... do you mean?
Didn't you come here after hearing everything from Ha Ri?
Why are you home already? Didn't you meet Ji Seong Joon?
What happened? Are you okay? I heard you couldn't say anything. I heard you didn't even have a chance to explain.
What did I do to you exactly?
I... I think I lost my head for a while.
I should have told you everything sooner.
I'm sorry, Hye Jin.
You... You told me you were going to tell him the truth yourself and put everything back to the way it was.
You told me to wait a just little bit...
He was going to find out today anyway. It just happened an hour early, that's all.
Hey, an oppa I know is waiting for me nearby.
I should go. I'll be home late so don't wait up.
Ha Ri. Ha Ri!
Hello?
Hey, Min Ha Ri! Are you finally answering my call?
I... am Ha Ri's friend and she left her phone behind.
Ah... I was wondering why she picked up all of a sudden.
When Ha Ri gets back, please tell her to answer my calls.
Yes.
From where and how should I explain?
I didn't think I could tell you everything in person so I'm writing you a letter instead.
First, I'm sorry, Seong Joon.
Really... there's nothing else I can say besides I'm sorry.
Strangely, whenever I was having a hard time, I kept bumping into you.
Each time, I was comforted by your words and your actions.
I even thought for a second that you and I were very much alike.
Even though everything you said you only said because you thought I was Hye Jin.
I was mistaken like an idiot.
So for a while, I was bad and got greedy.
Thank you for everything... And I'm really,
sorry. Just saying it will never be enough but
I'm sorry.
All that time when you thought I was Hye Jin and even now,
I knew very well that the Kim Hye Jin that you like... that Hye Jin's the only one.
I'm so sorry for uselessly cutting in and making you take the longer route.
I will sincerely,
really sincerely, be rooting for you and Hye Jin.
Hye Jin's friend, Ha Ri.
You haven't left for work yet?
- It seemed like you came home late last night. When did you get up and finish exercising too? - Oh...
Because that oppa last night bought me so much to drink and I felt awful.
I've never seen an oppa who can drink that well.
I'm thirsty. I should drink some water.
You said you were going to drink some water.
- Huh? - Why are you going into your room to drink water?
Omo. Why am I over here?
So strange.
Hye Jin, hello.
Ah, seriously.
Good morning!
Hye Jin.
You shouldn't look at those things on the street, Deputy Chief Editor!
That's why you keep bumping into this and that! Like a fool.
Yes! I understand!
It's a go!
Oh, why do I feel so awful? Did I sleep wrong?
Let's have dinner together later. Oh! Should we go visit our old neighborhood?
I wonder if that cake shop is still there.
You know. On the Left Handers' Day, you even bought me a cake from that place thinking it was my birthday.
You remember, right?
Did... something like that happen?
My memory isn't that amazing so my old memories are a bit fuzzy.
But, what do I call you now? Deputy Chief Editor, Friend?
Mr. Classmate? Deputy Chief Editor classmate...
will be too strange.
Don't you have any ideas?
Kim Hye Jin.
Hey! Exactly what kind of life did you have in America
for you to become a totally different person? Hey, Ji Seong Joon! You became so cool!
Oh that's right. You told me you found out my email through the classmates' page.
Now that I've met you, I'm curious about all the others too.
Should we have a class reunion with everyone?
Stay put.
Going up.
Why are you doing this?
Me? What... did I...?
You're acting like a different person overnight.
While we're at work, I thought we should keep professional and personal lives separate.
It's a little... you know. Letting people know we're classmates...
Professional... and personal? Classmates?
You and I, are we only just classmates?
It's true! We're classmates.
Just a day before, you definitely came to me but we're just classmates?
Why are you being this way all of a sudden?
Ha Ri... likes you.
By any chance, are you talking about first love or whatnot over something that happened when you were little?
You're not, right? It's so old-fashioned.
You have a way of making me feel empty. All this time, because of you, how much...
Why are you doing this all of a sudden? I can't understand why your being this way.
What's the reason?
What reason?
Hey! Why are you so serious?
I guess I was alone in thinking that we were special.
Getting to meet each other after all this time,
I think I am the only one who felt sad and didn't want to waste anymore time.
To you, I am just one of your many classmates.
I will ask you again.
Is there really nothing?
What's the reason you're suddenly being this way?
Ha Ri... likes you... a lot.
Fine, I got it.
Editor, about that day-
There's no reason I didn't get home safely.
Editor!
Please take this.
I'm unsure about how to decipher this Shin Saimdang.
You hurt your arm... because of me.
It's for your hospital bill.
Don't bother.
Ah, Editor!
Oh our Crazy-
Why the sour face? Something going on?
Just because.
Because nothing's fun.
After the interview, I'm leaving the office for the day.
What's up?
Good morning.
Hello.
The two of them used to go around stuck together. What happened all of a sudden?
Something smells fishy.
- Hye Jin. Is there something special between you and Crazy? - What?
Well, it's normal to have feelings and then fight too.
And while you fight, you can flirt too.
I had a feeling you two were way too close.
It's not like that!
I know everything. How far did you two go?
Fine, fine, fine. It's the season of love. The season of love!
It's always winter for me. I'm so cold. So cold.
Yes, Dad.
Really? Congratulations President!
Yes, see you at home. Okay.
Your father is a president?
- Oh? Han Seul. - Ah, my dad really wanted to be the president of his morning soccer club
and he finally became one.
The president of morning soccer club?
No... No, that's not it. There's no reason you can't be a president of a morning soccer club when you're the president.
Father must be so busy but I guess he plays soccer too.
Yes. He is ve-ry busy.
He gets knotted up after a whole day of doing alterations and ironing so he does it for exercise.
Alteration? Ironing? Oh... why is your father ironing...
Didn't I tell you? My dad has a ve-ry big dry cleaning business in Gangnam.
My dad is very skilled so he's pretty famous around Gangnam.
My dad made this too.
Oh... you... you... didn't go to school overseas? But you speak English really really well.
Of course I do. My dad had a dry cleaning business in L.A. for
about 6-7 years.
My dad is really good with women's clothes too. Han Seol, do you want me to ask him for you?
Han Seol?
Then, I will call you.
Well, no... You don't have to.
I like her.
I like Kim Hye Jin.
These are the minutes from the meeting.
From now on, put the minutes into a file. There's no need to bring them to me one by one.
Yes, I understand.
Also,
take this.
10,000 won? Why 10,000 won?
- I heard you paid for it. - Ah...
the quick fee? It's okay. You don't have to give it to me.
Since it's business, it's not right for me to let you spend your own money.
I am under the impression that you don't like things being imprecise even more than me.
I can't do it, Hye Jin.
I can't do it. Being just your classmate,
keeping business and personal separate, I can't do it. No. I don't want to.
Exactly why do I have to do this? I don't understand!
Deputy Chief Editor, the article-
please review it.
Yes, give it to me.
Thank you for the interview, Director. The response to the previews have been great and
I think it'll do well.
But Editor Kim, there is something I'm a little disappointed about.
Did I do something wrong?
- Why did you become so boring? - Huh?
- Me? - Yes!
You've become sooo boring! I haven't done an interview with anyone else and
I'm doing one with you only because you're so much fun.
When I see you, I feel like I see me, and when I see myself, I feel like I'm seeing you.
But today's interview was definitely not exciting.
Really? What do I do?
Then, from this moment, should we start over?
Ah, now you're the Editor Kim I know!
Right? I will write the article to the best of my ability so don't worry!
Okay!
Ah, yes.
I'll be there soon.
I think so.
I know.
I know. I miss you too.
Stay in touch, okay?
Okay, bye bye.
Maybe it's time for me to leave.
You're here?
Where shall we go?
Right, where shall we go?
Ha Ri.
Hye Jin.
Who is this?
Hey, Kim Jae Hoon. Go wait in the car so I can talk to my friend for a minute.
My name is Park Jae Hoon.
Are you sure?
Either way, go wait in the car.
Who is he?
Just someone I know.
What are you doing with a guy who's name you don't even know?
Why do you seem so surprised?
It's not like you don't know me already.
Come in. Let's talk.
No... If you want to talk, let's do it here.
I'm supposed to go somewhere with him.
Oh come in! Come!
What's wrong with you?
What are you doing?!
What am I? What about you?!
If you are upset, you're upset. If it's hard, it's hard.
Just tell me. Don't act like you're fine.
Why are you yelling?
Of course I would tell you if I was upset!
You were crying.
I saw you. You were crying so hard yesterday. It was you, right?
Ha Ri. How long are you going to going to act like you know?
How long are you going to act like you are okay?
Don't be by yourself-
The one who is acting like they know or that they are okay...
Isn't that you?
"Are you a friend?" "How could you do something like that to me?"
"You're the worst! You're disgusting and I never want to see you again!"
You should be mad at me!
Yeah that's right! I'm mad! Very! But...!
It's not because of Seong Joon.
I think maybe you couldn't just tell me.
I'm the one who asked you to do that from the beginning.
I'm the one responsible for creating this mess but what makes me angry is...
your attitude right now.
Don't keep just avoiding me.
Give me an excuse or something. How long are you going to keep avoiding me like a little kid?
This...
is all I can do.
Like you.
Hey! Min Ha Ri!
I'm tired.
Just... let's quit everything.
I just...
will disappear.
No. I will.
I'm the one who's living at your place.
You wench.
Father. I'm here!
Oh! Daughter!
So sudden. What's going on?
Nothing. I just want to stay the night.
- Then what about Ha Ri? -I don't know.
Oh! Daughter! What are you doing here so late?
She wants to stay the night.
Then what about Ha Ri?
I don't know!
Oh. Why are you here so suddenly?
I'm staying the night.
Then what about Ha Ri Unni?
Ugh. Why do you keep asking "Ha Ri, Ha Ri"?
If you are so worried about her, then ask her yourself!
Where are you going?
I'm irritated so I'm going to go get some air.
Her personality gets weirder and weirder as time goes on.
Kim Hye Rin. Don't you ever become like her.
Let's not regret. Let's not look back either.
From now on, let's just look at the present.
My umbrella
Let's meet. I'll be in front of your house.
Oh. Ahjusshi!
How can a person change this much?
What's going on? What's going on?
You're really that cutie chubby kid who used to live next door to us?
I did change a lot.
Have you been well? You've been well, Father?
Oh of course! Of course!
I would have never recognized you on the street.
Why are you here?
He called so I gave him permission. He said he wanted to meet you.
Oppa? How long?
But Oppa... you were actually chubby when you were young?
Yep. I really was.
In the past, I ate so much of the food you made me.
I basically lived in your house back then.
That's right. When your father went on a business trip, you slept over at our house sometimes.
So... do you have... a girlfriend?
Why are you asking that sort of thing? He and I don't have that kind of a relationship!
No. There's a great chance of things progressing.
Oh... that quince wine we made. Shall we open it?
That's right, we have that. I'll quickly bring it.
What do you mean quince wine! He can't drink!
I really want to try some quince wine.
Ah. You will like it.
Here, have a glass. Son-in-law Ji.
What do you mean Son-in-law Ji?
Thank you.
Here. Cheers.
Cheers.
He can't even drink a sip of alcohol.
Oh, it's tasty. It's very fragrant.
Of course it tastes good. Where is there a human in the world who doesn't drink alcohol?
Right here.
Ha Ri...
Have you been good?
You haven't... missed Mom?
Come be with me now, Ha Ri.
Please be by my side now.
He grew up so well.
When did that chubby little kid become a man?
He has such full eyebrows and a strong jawline too.
But.. I think he has feelings for Hye Jin.
He wouldn't have come to our house if he didn't.
What are you doing here?
Go back in your room. Hurry!
- Okay! - Have a nice time.
Ah! What do you mean a nice time?
Wow. Seriously...
Oh, why am I here...?
Are you okay?
No. Because of you, I'm not.
Let's talk outside. I have something to say.
You really aren't going to tell me the reason?
If you don't tell me, I keep becoming foolish.
I thought maybe it was because of Reporter Kim but...
it's not. I'm sure it's how you feel.
Being foolish and having misunderstandings... I don't want to do it, Hye Jin.
Seong Joon. I think...
maybe being just your first love is special.
You know that's how first love is.
Things that weren't anything special seem prettier,
brighter, and stay sweet in your memory.
But, that's when we were young.
So now-
Back then, you took the place of my mom who wasn't there with me and
you were the only real friend I had. That's why it was that much more special.
But, all of that doesn't matter now.
You're someone whom I came to like in the present.
Even if you weren't Kim Hye Jin who I knew,
even if we had met as strangers, I would have been drawn to you once more and
my heart would have fluttered once more because of you and once more, I would have liked you.
Hye Jin.
Why you're being this way,
won't you please tell me?
Ha Ri...
she likes you a lot.
While suffering by herself...
wanting to meet you even if she had to pretend to be me...
I think she liked you that much.
Ha Ri, to me, she's more than just a friend.
She's just as precious as my family and you are to me.
But if I come to you now,
Ha Ri will get hurt and I will feel uncomfortable too.
I can't pretend not to know Ha Ri's feelings.
I don't want to do that while hurting her.
Kim Hye Jin.
Look at me.
The one I like... is you.
Back then too, it was you and even when I didn't know who you were, it was you.
Right now, it's you and in the future, it's you.
I won't push you. I don't want anything else from you.
Just...
please don't run away.
Just do that for me.
Aigoo, our Kim Hye Jin.
You were so nice back then too. You've become even nicer while we've been apart.
I'm so happy that you haven't changed.
Oh, sorry. It stopped.
Right.
Good morning.
Oh... good morning.
It stopped for a second so it should start moving soon.
Really?
Okay.
What's with Kim Shin Hyeok?
What about Crazy?
- I just talked to a friend who works at New Look and Kim Shin Hyeok is going over to New Look! - No way.
- Really? - What?
What?
What are you talking about?
No matter who tried to scout him, he always turned them down.
He never once met with anyone.
This time, he already met with someone from New Look.
What? So he's really going this time?
He's going to another company?
Then, he's not the son of Jin Sung Group?
Then, is Kim Poong Ho the son?
No, New Look could have scouted him without knowing he's the president's son.
Ah! What is this? I'm so confused!
Oh! Sunbae Shin Hyeok!
- Sunbae! - Sunbae!
Sit down.
- Is it true? - Are you really going over to New Look?
- Really, really? Are you going over to New Look? - No way! Are you?
Oh!
How does a rumor get around so fast?
What? You must really be going!
- No! Don't!
Hey Crazy. Your heart already left and that's why you've been saying that things were so boring these days.
That's right.
Really?
Well, were you going to stay here forever?
He's really going.
Hey, was he having a hard time because of me?
I think he's really leaving.
Call your friend and see if it's really true.
Editor Kim!
Are you... going over to New Look?
Well, not New Look.
Oh, what a relief.
Then, if not there, are you going somewhere else?
Well, I don't know either.
Attention!
Our current edition,
made a record in sales!
Even the ad sales went up. I just heard from the management team.
Yes!!!
Wow!
Awesome!
Then, did The Most take over first place?
- No. The first pace is still New Look. - Oh.
We're still in second place.
But it was worth working with the Deputy Chief Editor.
I hope it keeps getting better!
Shouldn't we have a celebratory get-together?
We should! Let's have a company get-together to celebrate!
Company meal! Company meal!
Bravo! Bravo!
Okay! A day like this should be enjoyed to the fullest.
I have a date in the evening, so I can't go.
Take this brilliante and scintillante gold card of mine and
enjoy yourselves Most-like as much as you want!
Kim Ra Ra! Kim Ra Ra!
Okay! Okay! You're embarrassing me again.
Then with the next edition, I will expect first place.
Was it just me who got the chills?
What she just said... didn't she sound like Deputy Chief Editor?
I know. The Chief Editor has never mentioned ranking before.
I think our Chief Editor has changed her character.
- Ta-da! - Wow!
You made this all yourself?
It sounds like I'm boasting but it sells pretty well in Japan.
Oh, Cha Hae Jung. You're so cool.
So pretty!
I should have been single sooner.
Because I couldn't stand not being loved by a man whom I loved,
I left like I was running away but
I think I gave our Ha Ri a huge scar.
All this time, I couldn't come back because I had no confidence but
I worked really hard so I could show up in front of Ha Ri.
I'm pretty tough now too.
Really... are you going to take Ha Ri with you?
Even now, I want to keep her next to me and do all the things I haven't been able to do for her.
But, she won't even listen to me. Isn't it terrible?
(Mom) I'm flying out in a couple of days.
Before I go, will you not let me see you?
The crab-meat porridge,
do you still make it well?
This edition is in second place too.
Instead of working so hard by yourself, how about talking to the rest of the team and
looking for a solution together?
They will be agitated... and some people will try to leave before then.
Still... you look like you're having a hard time by yourself.
If you give me a hug, I might get energized.
It's not possible, right?
It's a joke.
Kim Shin Hyeok
Address: #2024, 58-2 Shinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
- Hello. - Oh, yes.
I have a question.
- Is there someone named Kim Shin Hyeok in #2024? - Oh,
I'm sorry. Due to our policy, we can't disclose our guests' information.
I understand.
Reporter Kim.
Is that where you normally live?
Well, doesn't it seem that way?
Why are you living in a hotel?
They give me food, clean up, and do my laundry too. Since it's comfortable.
I heard the rumor that you got scouted by New Look. Are you going?
Well, I could go or not go and I don't know either.
Things are not that much fun these days. I guess you could say I'm thinking about a lot of things.
I won't beat around the bush. I came to get you.
Can't you stay in The Most team?
I thought I irritated you.
It's true that you bother me personally. No, you used to bother me.
But I... I need your skill.
I don't know if that's criticism or flattery.
I
What are you saying? Shutdown?
It's exactly as you've heard.
It's a situation that's already been decided by the Corporate HQ. That's why I'm trying to hold onto you.
If you're not there, it'll be difficult.
That's a shocker.
Well, what should we do? It's just that I'm not someone who stays because someone wants me to.
Twenty year anniversary edition is our last chance. One more time...
No, just one last time. Please think about it.
I will check on it right now and let you know. Yes.
What's this? Shin Hyeok didn't come today either?
Hasn't it been two days already?
Has Sunbae Shin Hyeok really quit?
He's too much. Did he leave without even finishing the article for our current issue?
He sent us all the articles he was working on my email.
This guy has really decided to call it quits.
He said he wasn't going to go but it seems he has left for New Look.
He's so bad.
The person you are trying to reach isn't...
Reporter Kim, why aren't you here? You're not really going to stop coming to work, are you?
Excuse me. I'm sorry, but is this Kim Hye Jin?
Oh, yes, that's right.
Hello, I'm Min
I couldn't get a hold of Manager Min so I called her emergency contact number.
The phone number you have called is out of service-
Manager Min left after handing in her resignation but our General Manager wanted to speak with her.
Ha Ri!
Hye Sang came because she wanted to take Ha Ri with her.
To Do! 1. Hotel 2. Get rid of the car 3. Close accounts 4. Organize cothes, shoes, bags
Let's just quit everything.
I'll get lost.
Ahjusshi, by any chance, did you see Ha Ri today?
Didn't Ha Ri go on a trip? She left earlier with a lot of stuff.
It's so stupidly steep.
Ha Ri, just leave me here and go call your mom.
No, where am I going to go without you?
What do I do?
It looks like she really left.
Min Ha Ri, how can you just leave like this?
If you leave you like this... If you leave me like this...
What am I supposed to do, Ha Ri?
Ha Ri left me.
