MY FIRST FIRST LOVE
Thanks for the tea.
Do you wear this often?
Well,
I needed it today to take care of some personal matters.
You're pretty much a wreck too, Song-i.
And what's with the luggage, both of you?
Well, I have some...
I have personal reasons.
By the way, where the heck is the owner of this house?
Come to think of it, Tae-o said he was going on a blind date today.
What?
God, how mannerless.
DUMB SONG
Talk about bad timing.
Excuse me.
Are you Yu Se-yeon?
Are you?
Yes.
I meant to come earlier than you.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
You're stunning.
Actually, I'm not a fan of blind dates because I find it awkward and all.
I'm sure I would've regretted it if I hadn't come here today.
I didn't even see your picture because I thought that would make it more fun.
I'm glad I didn't. I was right.
It would've been nowhere close to what you look like in real life.
-Are you usually that straightforward? -Me?
I guess you could say that. Why? Does it bother you?
No, I'm just asking.
Did you order something already?
Gosh, I feel terrible about this.
Let's head to the place I reserved once you're done.
Give me a second.
Oh, right.
I'm Yun Tae-o, by the way.
The person you're calling is not available...
He's not picking up?
No.
Good. It's basic courtesy not to pick up your calls on a blind date.
How about we talk about how we know Tae-o while waiting for him?
Tae-o and I went to the same elementary school. What about you?
We took private lessons when we were really young.
Our parents know each other,
so we used to attend each other's family events.
Looks like you had many family events growing up.
-Right. -I see.
Who are you, by the way? I've never seen you before.
I'll try his phone again.
He has a knack for ignoring people's questions very smoothly.
DO-HYEON
Why is he calling me?
I'm in the middle of something important--
-Come home now. -What?
People are in your house, claiming to be your friends.
But something feels off.
Three of them?
Who are they?
I don't know. I've never seen them before.
Is Song-i the friend you talk about?
Han Song-i?
Is she there, too?
Yes.
She seems to have personal issues.
What is it? Did something happen?
I don't know the details.
You should get over here and talk to them.
Hello? Hey.
Han Song-i. What a pain.
Why now of all times?
You're the guy from earlier?
You were moving things at my house during the day.
Yes.
I was right.
Then, I guess you know that my family went bankrupt.
Are you Seo Do-hyeon?
Do you know me?
I've heard a lot about you from Tae-o.
He said his dad and yours are friends and that you go to the same school.
So, I suppose you know me.
A bit, I guess.
Can you keep it a secret from Tae-o? About my personal issue.
I came to ask you that as a favor.
Even though he and I are old friends,
I don't want him to hear the news from other people.
Okay.
I think you might want to take a look at the mirror.
The mirror?
What's this?
Oh, my god. How long has it been like this?
Listen.
I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid I have to go.
Something urgent came up at home.
That's all right. You can go.
I'm really not the kind of guy who bails on someone.
It's not like we have much control over urgent matters anyway.
Thanks for thinking that way, but still...
Are you into photography?
-I'm more into films. -Really?
I love filmmaking. It's been my hobby ever since I was a kid.
We have so much in common.
It seems that way.
Can I see you again tomorrow?
-I'm not so sure. -I really like you.
I know I messed up on our first meeting,
but if you give me another chance, I'll make it up to you.
Fine.
Shouldn't you go though? You said it was urgent.
Right.
I'll call you later. You have to pick it up, okay?
I'll get going.
I'm truly sorry about today--
I'll see you again. We have to meet again, okay?
He's cute.
Hey.
-Where are you going? Where are the rest? -They're inside.
-I'm off. -Okay.
I'll talk to you later.
-Tae-o! -Hey.
-Tae-o! -Tae-o!
Tae-o!
What's going on?
Why are the three of you together?
What are you wearing?
I was kicked out of my home like this.
Out of all shoes, I wore my mom's and--
O Ga-rin, what about you?
How did you find my place?
Didn't you get any of my letters?
Letters? What letters?
I went to the post office and--
Wait.
Are you okay? Did anything happen?
Well, sort of. I'll tell you after they leave--
"Leave"? Who said I'm leaving? I'm staying right here.
-What? -Who are you to tell me?
Tae-o, I have a problem.
You and I are friends, right?
-Please do me a favor as a friend. -Could you shut up?
Stop talking, and sit down, all of you!
I NEED A ROOM AND YOU HAVE MANY
Do you think my house is a motel or something?
You come here unannounced and expect me to let you stay?
Well, that's not exactly how I would put it--
Haven't I told you many times since I got my own place?
I don't mind you coming over as long as you don't crash here.
O Ga-rin.
Do your parents know you're here?
-The thing is-- -You know what? Forget it.
Hearing you out will only make me pity you.
Look. I'm going to wash up right now.
I want all of you out of this place by the time I'm done.
Come on, Tae-o. Hey.
MOM
-Why aren't you picking it up? -Don't!
Hey...
You...
Hey! That was so cool!
That was a really cool move.
Superb.
Are you crazy? Do you know how expensive that is?
-Tae-o. -Yes?
Can't I live here?
For the time being.
-That's enough. -Wait.
What did you just say?
I'm asking if I can live at your place.
I was just about to ask him that same question, you know.
Wait, but--
Look, stop talking nonsense.
You came to my house randomly asking to live with me. That's nonsense.
You remember that day, don't you?
The day I quit school to become a musical actor.
My parents have treated me like crap ever since that day.
Today, I got kicked out of my home like this
and finally realized my parents will never acknowledge me...
unless I become extremely successful.
Dude, you're being too serious.
All I need is just one room.
I trust that you'll help me.
You've got plenty of rooms, and I happen to need one.
Help me.
Please, help me!
But this is too sudden--
I was going to tell you privately, but--
-I have nowhere else to go. -What?
I left home, too.
I just needed to get away from home.
But the only person I could think of was you, Tae-o.
That's why I came here.
So, you two are basically saying that
you came to my place to live here for good?
If you turn me away, I'm going to die!
Wait...
What are you...
Are you going to let my dad beat the life out of me?
I'm not saying I'll stay here forever.
Just until I pass my audition. That's all.
Please take me in until then!
Please, Tae-o!
Yes? Please?
I'LL STAY AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE. DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH.
At her friend's house?
But she doesn't have any friends.
How could she have done something this crazy?
It appears she planned everything from the beginning.
The wig and backpack prove that it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment act.
What were you two doing
while Ga-rin had been going through with her plan?
She doesn't have a single friend.
I'm certain about that
because the contacts in her phone are synced with my device.
What if she's been enticed by a con artist?
If that's the case...
Are you okay, ma'am? Shall I get you some anxiety pills?
Don't bother!
You must do everything you can to find her.
She's the sole heiress of my family.
The day the chairman finds out about this from the UK,
both of you
will be in huge trouble.
"My only source of escape that comes to mind is Tae-o."
How could she even think of leaving home without a proper plan?
What am I supposed to do with her when she
ran away after sending me a letter?
What?
-Where are the rest? -Ga-rin's sleeping in the guest room,
and Hun was making the bed in the dressing room.
Making the bed?
-This won't work. I should go and-- -Calm down, and sit for now.
-I should just-- -Come on.
This is driving me nuts.
Besides, it's late. Drink this. Here.
Why are you here, though?
Me?
Oh, that's because...
Tae-o, look at this.
They are withering away.
The leaves have turned all yellow.
They've all wilted. Don't you water them at all?
Do you come by the rooftop?
Why are you suddenly concerned about the plants?
You know, this house is quite too big for you.
Plus, you're not the type to tidy up the house.
Think about how nice it would be to have someone
who takes care of your garden, the rooftop and the garbage.
What?
I'm getting a weird vibe about this.
You're not implying you're staying here too?
-Well, it's-- -I get it.
What?
You fought with your mom again, didn't you?
It's written all over your face.
Well,
-it's actually more than that-- -Go back home.
You shouldn't stay here and act so stubborn.
They say that the closer you are, the faster you should make up with them.
The thing is,
it's not a good time for me to go back--
I would've gone insane if you said you were moving
into this house like the rest did.
You know that my biggest fear was
this place turning into a boarding house.
Of course, I do.
Not just one, but two people?
It couldn't get any worse.
Why do I suck at rejecting?
I think I'm naturally a man of goodwill.
There's actually a difference between temperament and personality.
I may seem a bit cold at times, but I have a warm disposition.
You're good at blowing your own horn.
I'll go and wash up now.
You'd better head home before the night deepens.
Don't waste any more time here.
Fine, I'm going to leave.
It's me, Tae-o.
Did you get home safely?
What time should we meet tomorrow? I'll pick you up.
What are you talking about? You totally stood me up.
Look, I don't really care whom you met instead,
but you shouldn't pull something like that on people, you asshole.
What the...
What the heck is going on?
Can you explain what this is about?
-What? -What?
I swear I met her.
But why is she doing this? She won't answer my calls.
Well, that's really odd.
Was it this girl?
No, it wasn't her.
She's Yu Se-yeon, a Literature major.
-You didn't even ask her name? -I did, and she said that was her name.
How could you say that she looks like Miranda Kerr?
This is so ridiculous.
She could've been a freak.
She looked completely normal.
Hey, what's up?
Hey.
So, what happened to your friends last night?
Don't get me started.
They kept refusing to leave, so I let them sleep at my place.
All three of them?
No, Song-i went home.
HAN JEONG-HUN
I forgot about Dad.
What are you doing in front of my house?
-I forgot to take the nameplate with me. -A nameplate?
This one.
It's my dad's.
I see that you used to live here before.
My mom told me about your situation.
Are you here to collect your things?
Not yet. I still have to settle a few things first.
I'll make sure to move them out soon.
I get that you lived here for many years and that you're in a difficult situation.
But you should be more considerate.
Pardon?
I moved into this new house, hoping to start afresh.
But someone else's belongings are in my room.
How do you think that would make me feel? A bit uncomfortable?
Let's be...
more considerate of each other, shall we?
I'm sorry to hear that it's uncomfortable for you,
but I was thrown out of this house overnight, so it's been very chaotic.
I'll clear my things as soon as possible. Thanks for your understanding.
You don't have to lash out like that.
THINGS I HAVE
THINGS I DON'T HAVE
THINGS I DON'T HAVE: MOM, HOUSE, MONEY
THE KOREAN SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION PAYMENT DUE SEP 10
THINGS I HAVE: MY BODY, MY DREAM, YUN TAE-O
So, you've never had any feelings for Tae-o? Not even once?
No.
Really?
He's sweet and charming and kind,
but he's not my type.
That makes it even more bizarre.
Well, there was a time when I almost did have a crush on him.
-When was that? -Back in 9th grade.
Tae-o had always been shorter than me.
But he suddenly grew by ten centimeters.
My heart kind of fluttered when I had to lift my head to see him.
And?
The flutter made me feel a bit tense.
And that feeling soon turned to discomfort.
-That's why I decided to drop it. -But how can you control your feelings?
I don't think that counts as liking him.
Which is why I said that I almost had a crush on him.
It's all in the past.
MONEY
CENTRAL LIBRARY STUDY ROOM PART-TIMER WANTED
I'm certain she's a student from our school.
Her jacket had our school name on it.
Forget about her.
It's weird that you mistook her for someone else,
but the fact that she played along is weirder.
You know what's interesting?
I happened to see her on campus right before going on the blind date.
I thought to myself,
"She's gorgeous. I hope my blind date is someone like her," and left for my date.
And what do you know? There she was.
That is quite interesting.
So, what are you going to do now?
She said that she's into making films.
She even had one of those high-end cameras.
Is there a Film Studies major in our school?
Why? Are you going to look for her?
You're going overboard.
How is that going overboard? I'd rather put things into action.
I've finally met a girl I like after a long time.
I don't think that's going overboard at all.
Could you come with me?
Leave me out of it. I have to go to work.
Hey, Do-hyeon!
I can't go there by myself.
And you call yourself a friend?
You're available after your Tuesday lecture?
-Yes. -Okay.
And then...
What about on Wednesdays? Do you have any classes?
-No, I don't. -All right.
Let's see. You can send the overdue notices through the computer.
You just have to copy and paste from the template.
Don't forget to mute your phone while working.
The librarian is sensitive to sound.
Okay, I'll do that.
Where did you spend the night yesterday?
I know I'm not close enough to be asking you that,
but it's hard for me to ignore, now that I know about your situation.
It's a big city with tons of places I could go to if I wanted.
I had a good night's sleep, don't worry.
Okay.
Wow.
-Aren't you... -I can't believe I actually found you.
What are you doing here?
I came looking for you.
So, tell me.
Tell you what?
How you found me.
Right.
You said you were into filmmaking, right?
I figured you could be a Film Studies major,
which is why I came to the Art's Department
and came across this club room.
It's how I found you.
You are really something.
But why did you lie to me?
I never lied to you.
You weren't there for a blind date that day.
I never said I was there for a blind date.
It was you who assumed and kept talking.
I was just...
I just played along. It was fun.
What's your real name, then?
Ryu Se-hyeon.
People often confuse my family name with "Yu."
-So, that's why-- -Did you eventually meet your blind date?
No, I didn't. And I don't intend to.
Because I've met you.
Do I need to meet certain requirements to join this club?
What?
This has to be fate. Nothing could explain it better.
Think about it.
I was meant to meet someone else, but instead, I met you, my ideal type.
And we both like the same thing.
Because we like similar things doesn't mean it's fate.
Well, that's what you are like to me.
I really want to join this club. What does it take to join?
You said your name is Yun Tae-o, right?
-Yes. Why? -When did you enroll at this university?
In 2015. Why do you ask?
Did you retake the college entrance exam a year later?
What? No.
You know what?
It looks like I'm older than you.
Oh, I see.
You're older?
You're older than me.
STOP
So, she's older than me.
DUMB SONG
She never picks up at the right moment.
Is anyone there?
Who's there? Come out!
Stop!
Song-i?
Song-i.
Hey!
The person you're calling is not available. Leave a message...
Why isn't she picking up? She must have finished work.
Who are you?
I'm the owner here. And who are you?
The owner?
But this is my friend's house.
Your friend?
Oh, do you mean the girl who lived here previously?
-The slim girl with long hair, right? -Yes.
RYU TAE-HO
I don't know how she managed even the water supply was cut off.
After my family moved in, she had to move out very suddenly.
You said you're her friend. You really didn't know?
I would've gone insane if you said you were moving
into this house like the rest did.
Gosh, Han Song-i...
What were you doing there?
Didn't you leave earlier?
I did, but I came back.
You told me the door's password.
I didn't tell you so you could sneak in.
Don't tell me you were going to sleep there.
Well...
Don't tell Tae-o about this.
Just go to his place.
Don't make things complicated.
He has enough on his plate already.
His friends were there yesterday to ask if they could live with him.
-What? -If I do the same,
Tae-o will have to provide shelter for three people.
I'd be shameless to stay there.
Don't you have other friends besides Tae-o?
I do have other friends.
I'm just not close enough with them to tell them I have nowhere to go.
I have pride, you know.
Then, what's your plan? Will you go through this every night?
There's someone I'm counting on. I need to hold out for just a bit longer.
I'll be off now. I'll see you around.
Do you have to give me a hard time as well?
Come with me.
Where are we going?
Just follow me.
-I'll carry it. -No.
Come on.
It's okay.
You can stay here until sunrise. The bathroom is outside, first floor.
You really didn't have to do this for me.
It's because it bothers me.
You can leave the door slightly open if you get a bit scared.
I know that...
I owe you one. But can I have a cup noodle?
Who is it that you're counting on?
What?
You said earlier
that you're counting on someone and that you have to hold out for a bit.
Oh.
It's my mom. She's the one I'm counting on.
I don't know how much you heard on the day of moving,
but my mom left me after our house had been seized.
I'm sure she won't be able to ignore me any longer
now that there are new owners occupying the house.
She'll probably know by now that I have no place to stay.
She'll give me a call.
Possibly by today or tomorrow.
Even if she does,
you'd still be homeless.
I'm sure there will be a way.
She's my mom. She won't just ignore her daughter who became homeless.
What's this? Why did Tae-o call me so many times?
MOM
See? I told you she'd call me.
Pick it up.
I'll be back.
Hello? Mom?
Where are you now?
Why haven't you been answering my calls?
I'm sorry that I couldn't call back.
Do you have any idea what kind of situation I'm in?
Since yesterday, I've been...
Where are you?
When will you be back?
Song-i, I won't be able to come
for the time being.
What?
Why not?
Mom.
Our house had been auctioned off,
and someone else is living there now. You know that much, right?
I know that you ran away because you felt guilty.
Song-i, I--
I know how stressed you've been, having to work at the store.
I'll try to be more understanding.
I won't be mad at you. So--
I said I won't be coming. Stop calling me for the time being.
What are you talking about?
I have nowhere to go--
I had you
when I was only 22, and I went wherever life took me.
I lived as a mom
and became a breadwinner after your dad's death.
I even lived as a debtor.
One day, it occurred to me
that for as long as I could remember,
my life had been filled with nothing but regret, resentment and guilt.
Mom...
I want to live a life without those kinds of feelings.
I've done so much to raise you well.
You're more grown up than I am.
No.
Mom, I--
So...
please give me some time until I become more grown up.
I'll call you again.
SUICIDE PREVENTION LIFELINE
ARE YOU IN PAIN? WE ARE HERE TO LISTEN TO YOU
Hello, this is Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
I'm on the Mapo Bridge.
Okay, please continue.
I think there's a woman...
who wants to kill herself
by throwing herself into the river.
I can understand why she feels that way.
It's because the world isn't beautiful.
Do you think...
this world is beautiful?
Are you
the person who's feeling suicidal?
Can I ask you something?
Yes, go on.
I'm 23 years old.
Am I not...
supposed to enjoy my youth at this age?
But why is it so lame?
If God really exists, I'd like to ask Him this.
"What plans do You have for me?
Isn't there a reason why You brought me into this world?"
Ma'am, hold on a second. Please calm down.
I'll be right over to your side.
Hello?
Yes, this is Yun Tae-o.
The police station?
Hello, is this the police?
Well, I was wondering...
if there was any incident regarding a woman in her 20s
that was reported this evening.
There is?
It's really nothing like that. I told you 100 times.
I just needed some air, so I was taking a walk on the bridge
and happened to see a telephone there,
so I called it out of curiosity.
We'll let you go once your guardian arrives.
He's been contacted, so he'll be here.
Song-i.
How did you...
You disappeared without a word.
Couldn't you have at least called?
I didn't have your number.
Are you her guardian?
Pardon?
Is he your guardian?
Well, he's...
If he isn't, I'm afraid we can't let you go yet
due to procedures.
Yes, I am...
I'm Song-i's guardian.
