MY FIRST FIRST LOVE
Tae-o.
Let's talk outside.
Are you her guardian?
Do-hyeon.
Why are you here?
Well...
She was with me.
-With you? -I met him
at the convenience store he works at, by coincidence.
So, we just talked for a bit.
And then,
my mom called me.
Your mom called you?
Could you fill this in first?
Yes, sure.
I should get back to work.
Go ahead. I'll call you later.
-Okay. -Bye.
Why didn't you answer my calls?
I kept my phone on silent during the day.
I'm grateful that you came.
The police wanted to contact my guardian. You were the only person I could think of.
You thought of me only after everything happened?
The new owner of your house told me everything.
When you got kicked out and lost touch with your mom,
did I not cross your mind?
Were you...
trying to commit suicide?
Why would I do that?
Do I look like someone
who would kill herself in such a lousy way?
I was just...
It just sort of happened.
You happened to be on a bridge and got dragged down by the police?
You expect me to believe that?
When the police called and told me your name...
Do you know how that felt?
I thought the worst had happened...
Was it difficult to trust me? Is that why you--
I didn't want to look pathetic.
Since when was that a problem for us?
Ever since I can remember, I've always been the pathetic one.
What's wrong with that?
I'm always depending on you and that makes me uncomfortable.
But I actually thought
that I would be able to suffer the humiliation if it's you.
So, I was going to tell you and move into your place,
but I couldn't.
Your other friends were begging you to let them stay.
How was I supposed to ask you in the midst of that?
How could I when I could see how stressed out you were?
You're different from them.
And that is why I didn't tell you.
I didn't want to become a burden to you.
Fine. I admit it. I let my pride get in the way.
I wanted to take care of it without anyone's help.
What's so wrong with that?
Why are you putting all the blame on me?
Hey.
Come on, this isn't fair.
I'm sorry for being so slow-witted.
I should have sensed something was wrong.
Why are you apologizing?
It's not your fault that my family went bankrupt.
Still, you and I are best friends.
I should have been more attentive to you.
Don't say that.
You owe me an apology too.
For what?
For keeping a secret from me.
For not giving me a chance
to help you through your hardest times.
That's hurtful, you know that?
I'm sorry.
Don't let your pride get in the way when you are with me.
And don't feel uncomfortable around me.
Okay.
Hey. My jacket...
You can have it.
FRETTING ABOUT SOMEONE
Wow.
When women wear men's clothes,
the size is usually way too big for them.
But that's not the case for you. It fits you well.
Maybe it's your broad shoulders.
It's late. You should go to bed.
I can just crash on the couch.
It's only for today.
By the way, what did your mom say? When did she say she was coming back?
I'll tell you about that later.
Okay.
Well, you should go to sleep now.
Good night.
Are you home now?
I got back way earlier.
I'll be going to bed soon, now that she's in bed.
All right.
I wasn't able to ask you because things were a bit hectic.
How did you end up at the station?
All kinds of incidents happen during the night shift. It wasn't my first time.
Today was one of those days, and I happened to run into her.
I see.
I have to go. Get some rest.
Okay, I'll talk to you later.
Bye.
I knew it from the start.
It wasn't hard to figure it out when you came with that huge suitcase.
You saw her suitcase?
-Didn't you see it? You did? -Yes.
-Was it just me who didn't? -I believe this makes it
three lodgers in your home.
Three, my ass.
If I have to choose one person, I'll choose Song-i.
Are you two dating?
-Hey! -Hey!
What's the reason?
How come she can stay and I can't?
That's because she's...
Gosh.
My mom ran away in the middle of the night.
She says she has no thoughts of coming back to Seoul
though she knows I have nowhere to go.
Because her own life matters more.
My house has been sold off and a new owner is living there now.
I haven't gotten my paycheck
so I'm pretty much penniless, so you know.
I can keep going if you'd like to hear more.
No, that's enough.
-We're okay, thanks. -Yes.
-You guys have no place to go, right? -That's right.
Why don't we do this?
I'll try to do most of the cooking.
-You guys can clean up the house. -Me?
-Her? -What are you talking about?
Are you going to kick them out?
Well, I can't answer that right now, but...
As people with a conscience, we don't want to be freeloaders, do we?
-Of course not. -You're right.
Are you guys serious about living at my place?
Let's not be a burden on Tae-o.
-Okay. -Okay.
I hope the four of us get along.
Who's here this early in the morning?
You stay here. I'll go and check.
Who is it?
It's Do-hyeon.
Seo Do-hyeon? What's he doing here in the morning?
I think because of my suitcase. I'll get the door.
Hi, Do-hyeon.
-Did you sleep well? -Yes.
You're here to give this back to me.
It was easy to fix.
Thanks.
I owe you a lot.
By the way, why were you at the station last night?
What about you? How did you end up there?
There was a small misunderstanding.
It's embarrassing, don't ask.
What about you?
Because you didn't return.
I called a precinct station nearby, and that's how I found out.
I told Tae-o I went to the station because something came up at work
and that I ran into you there.
I lied so you wouldn't be put in a tight spot.
Thanks. Come in and have breakfast with us.
No, thanks. I have to get going.
Okay, then. I'll see you at school.
Let me.
I'll see you around.
Did my heart just skip a beat?
Don't press that now. You have to press it when we're about to get off.
Sorry, it's my first time on the bus. I had no idea.
You must be really rich, seeing that you've never been on a bus.
Let's be friends.
Where are we going?
-To make money. -Money?
I felt uneasy leaving you home alone since you're careless,
so I brought you with me.
There's a part-time job I have to go to, but they said I can bring someone.
A part-time job?
I'll do my very best.
-What kind of work is it? -We'll be in the background. You'll see.
"The background"?
This one, and this one.
This one?
Can we just get one of each?
-Sure. -One of each?
I don't know what she likes.
Right. Has your friend decided to stay at your place for now?
Friends, not friend.
I'm afraid I have to put up with all three of them.
If you ever have a fight with your dad, don't dream of coming to my place.
I have no spare rooms.
Are you that close to her?
Song-i?
She's like family. I've known her for ages.
But she's a lot of work.
I wish someone would just go out with her. Whoever it is.
I'm going to be in a relationship soon, so I can't keep watching out for her.
Your dessert is ready.
Thank you.
Why are you so devoted to her when you don't even know her that well?
Can't you see I'm doing this so that I can get to know her better?
Look, let me tell you how it works...
RYU SE-HYEON
Here she is.
"Name.
Ryu Se-hyeon.
Art Major. Enrolled in 2013.
She was the first Korean university student to participate
in graphic designing for an overseas studio as an intern."
You're really something.
Were you in the States?
In the UK. The production company was located in London.
When did you get here?
Just now.
"She traveled all over the world with her dad, a photographer.
She's fluent in English and Spanish, and can speak three languages..."
Girl, you can't be real.
What?
I don't want to use honorifics.
It's not that I don't respect you,
but because I want you to think of me as a man.
You just laughed, didn't you? I'll call you by your name?
-Still, you can't join the club. -Why not?
It takes a lot of commitment to be in this club.
-You need to devote a lot of time. -Time is all I have.
Is filmmaking your dream?
My dream?
I don't...
I don't have a dream yet.
You see what I mean? You're not prepared for this.
This won't do.
I should offer a bribe.
A bribe?
It's just a little something I got on my way here.
-Looks good, right? -It does.
Which one do you want?
This one?
Yes.
Ta-da.
It's really pretty.
CONVENIENCE STORE
Do-hyeon.
Did you not have lunch yet?
It sucks that our shift overlaps with lunch hours, right?
I guess so.
Let's have lunch together.
It doesn't seem like they will finish eating anytime soon, though.
There is a place we can have our lunch. Do you want to go check it out?
The view is amazing.
I never knew we had such a place on our campus.
But are we allowed to be up here?
Of course not.
Here.
BULGOGI LUNCHBOX
-What happened to your hands? -My hands?
Oh, this? Most architecture students have scars.
It's inevitable when you work on projects.
Projects?
There's a lot of cutting, pasting, and other menial tasks involved.
When people think of the architecture major,
they think of romance because of the film, Architecture 101.
But it's nothing like it. Architecture students joke around
saying we're majoring in manual labor.
I'm sorry for boring you.
I find whatever you say interesting.
Have you brought other people here before?
Yes.
You're lying, aren't you?
You got me.
I think you're a fun person.
Really? No one's told me that before.
I must be the first person to have noticed.
I suppose.
-Let's eat. -Okay.
Where do you live? I'll drive you home.
Do you have a car?
Of course, I do.
I've never been on one.
It's really fun. I'll drive slowly if you're scared.
Why take away the fun?
Come on.
Wow.
The two of you can go that way.
-Hello. -You can sit there.
As for you, let's see...
Sit here.
-Here? -Yes.
Please sit over there.
Actors, please get ready.
-Okay. -All right.
Don't be nervous. Just converse casually.
If we're all set, let's roll!
It's nothing much. When the director says, "Ready, action!"
all you and I do is eat in a casual manner.
In a casual manner?
Yes, like how you would normally eat.
Okay, I can do that.
Scene 27, cut 24, take 1.
All right, then. Ready, action!
When you said you wanted to break up, did you really mean that?
I meant it.
I can't forget the insults your mom threw at me.
I apologized to you several times.
Apologizing is all you do, isn't it?
Cut!
What's with the napkin over there?
I'm so sorry!
Jeez. That was good acting.
-I'm sorry. -Gosh.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
-That was a good take. -I'm sorry.
Hey, didn't I tell you to be casual?
This is what I normally do.
What?
Ji-eun.
Hey, Kim Ji-eun.
Let go of me. I have nothing to say to you.
Are you really going to leave me?
If you leave now,
it's over for us.
Cut!
What's up with her this time?
I am very sorry!
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
What is wrong with you?
You're supposed to walk like how you normally do.
I can't remember how I used to walk.
What?
Are you doing this intentionally?
-Are you screwing us over? -No.
Is having a meal so difficult? Is walking difficult?
It's easy.
Extremely easy, in fact.
Of all people, you had to bring a stupid one to the set, didn't you?
Come on.
Come on. Go easy on us.
Everyone feels awkward the first time.
What? "Awkward"?
Hey.
Am I your friend?
-No. -Do I look like your friend?
-No, sir. -Sir.
Why are you hitting him--
Stop!
I am so, so sorry.
Just don't pay me for today.
Oh, and...
If anything urgent comes up and you need my help,
I'll do it for free!
Jeez.
How did I end up with these two idiots?
Get lost, both of you.
Okay, sir. I'm very sorry. Please take care.
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
I'm sorry.
-I'm so stupid. -It's okay.
-It's your first time-- -I'm so stupid.
My goodness.
I thought you were Queen Elizabeth or something.
How do you even do that pose?
-My gosh. -I don't know.
Why did I do such a thing?
Don't worry.
Forget about it, okay? Stand up.
How are you so composed?
-What do you mean? -Just now,
when that man yelled at you
and shoved you right here, you didn't get angry at him once.
That's because getting angry at him wouldn't have done any good.
In situations like this,
it's best to lie low and apologize.
You shouldn't let your ego get the best of you.
You lose more than you gain when you lose your temper.
This is exactly what I need.
I need to be able to decide for myself
in all kind of situations. I need that decision-making skill.
From now on, I'm going to follow you around.
What?
I think I'll learn so much from you by just being around you.
You're okay with that, right?
Well...
No one has ever told me I'm someone they can learn from.
Life is full of wonders.
Sure, why not?
I'm kind of hungry. Shall we go grab something to eat?
I forgot to bring my money
-because I was in such a rush. -Don't you worry!
I got my hourly wage in advance.
Did we get paid when we didn't do anything?
Life is beautiful.
You're incredible.
Run, before they find out!
Run. Got it.
Hey. Wait up!
Drop me off here.
Where's your place? I'll drop you off in front.
I don't think we're close enough for me to tell you.
That's fine. We can take things slow if you want.
It was fun.
I'll let you know the interview date once it's set.
I'll see you around.
Okay.
Hey, buddy. You're back.
You sure know how to make yourself comfortable in someone else's home.
Dude, you're talking as if we were strangers. We're basically family.
Hey. Can I write your number on the applications for my auditions?
What?
As you know, I don't have a phone.
I'm going to give them your number so they can send the audition results.
Oh, come on.
Please do me this favor.
You better check your text messages often. I love you, buddy.
-I love you. -You are seriously annoying.
You're doing great. That's it.
Hi.
Looks like we're roommates. I hope that's okay with you.
I should be the one to say that.
I've never shared a room with anyone before.
So, if I make a mistake, please tell me right away.
You're my first roommate, too.
Do you have any sleeping habits? I'm actually a very light sleeper.
No. You don't have to worry about that.
What are you doing out there?
Taking refuge.
Ga-rin snores like a horse. I'll go back in when it quiets down.
You should record it, so you can tease her later.
Is that the first thing that came to mind? You're so immature.
By the way, how did that blind date of yours go?
-Did you meet her again? -Meet her?
Yes, we did. It was like fate.
What?
What a weirdo. She totally ruined someone else's blind date.
Hey, be nice. Don't call her a weirdo.
To get the facts straight, it was me who made a mistake.
She didn't ruin my blind date.
You're taking her side? Unbelievable.
Are you really thinking of joining the club she's in?
Yes. In fact, she is the founder of the club.
She's won grand prizes in competitions.
I won many awards in competitions too.
And what's interesting is that she lives in this neighborhood.
Really?
That is quite interesting.
It had been my dream
to meet a really pretty girl.
Not only is she pretty, but she is also very cool.
If things go well between you two, introduce me to her.
I want to see for myself how bad your taste in girls is.
-I feel sorry for you. -Why?
Your standard for men must be high
because you've got such a perfect male friend like me.
I think I'm partly to blame for you being single
your entire life.
I feel responsible for everything. Drink up.
Whatever you say.
I'm only listening to your crap because I'm not paying you rent.
Tae-o.
Thanks a lot.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've thanked you properly.
If you're aware of that, you should be good to me.
Will you be late tomorrow? I'll cook something delicious for you.
I'll be having dinner at my parents' place tomorrow.
You should be more careful, by the way.
"I'll cook something delicious for you."
People will think we're living together as a couple.
Okay, I'll be more careful.
I don't want to blow my chances of getting married.
Song-i.
Do you think you'll have a chance at getting married?
I'm touched by your earnest concern.
Hey!
You, get over here.
You're dead meat.
Take that!
-It hurts. -Hey, are you all right?
No, it hurts.
I'm sorry, I--
Mid-term exams.
Group projects will replace your exams.
The theme is the change of future residential spaces.
Your presentations should be about ten minutes long.
The leader from each group
should email me your topic and summary by next week.
Of course, extra points will be awarded to the group leaders.
That's all for today. Class dismissed.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
We'll need more than three people to make a team.
I know someone in fine arts who takes this course.
-She's good at making presentation slides. -I like the sound of fine arts.
Hi!
Here are the drinks.
-Thanks. -The drinks are on me.
Thank you.
For now, let's exchange numbers and decide
when we're going to meet within this week.
I'll create a group chat,
to decide who will be the team leader and our to topic.
-Okay. -All right.
What's your name?
It's Han Song-i.
Han Song-i.
I'm Ryu Se-hyeon.
Ryu Se-hyeon.
I didn't know you were taking the same course.
Where are you staying now?
At a friend's.
You're living off your friend?
I guess you could say that.
Se-hyeon.
I have other plans so I'll excuse myself first.
I should go now.
He's got a nice car. Was that her boyfriend?
He's just one of many,
since Se-hyeon's not into serious relationships.
Song-i.
Yes?
Could you get the books that are on this list?
They have to be discarded.
Sure.
Do-hyeon.
Is it this book?
Yes. Those as well.
-All of those? -Yes.
-Here. -Thanks.
I thought you might need it.
Thanks.
I think we're done with this section.
I'll put the books away.
Welcome, Tae-o!
Oh.
How have you been?
It's one of France's finest wines. Only 500 bottles are produced every year.
Sip the wine slowly and savor it.
I have to drive my scooter, so I can't have any.
Not even a motorcycle but a tiny scooter? Be a man.
I'll gladly accept it if you buy me a car.
Can I get a glass, too?
You can drink in college.
Isn't that too big of a dream, considering his grades?
My grades plummeted more than before.
Really?
Why are you pinching me?
Your face has become haggard.
Have you been drinking a lot lately?
Drinking? No way.
I'm too busy studying late through the night.
Studying about women?
What are you talking about?
Don't you have a close friend who's name is Song-i?
What about Song-i?
Didn't her mom run away in the night?
How do you know about Song-i's mom running away?
Why wouldn't I know?
She rented a spot for her gimbap restaurant in your dad's building.
Her mom hasn't paid the rent for months.
Enough, I'm losing my appetite.
We're not the only ones who were ripped off.
Right until the day before she fled,
she borrowed money from people in her neighborhood.
She even had a man.
Really?
You shouldn't say things like that
when you don't know for sure.
Tae-o.
Why would I make something like this up?
There are witnesses who saw her with a man.
I don't know who that man is or what he does,
but apparently, they say she fell head over heels for him.
Please be careful not to say anything to Song-i.
She's 23, so she's old enough.
That's just her luck. They say even karma is inherited.
She should know that her mom owes us money.
But seriously.
Isn't there a way to get it back?
Dad.
You sounded like a loan shark just now.
Don't mention anything about money to Song-i.
-I'll take care of it. -How could you say I'm like a loan shark?
This is why you should never lend money to people who are struggling.
Here I am getting scolded when I'm the victim.
MIN-AH
Hey, Min-ah.
What are you doing, Song-i?
Me?
I'm in the middle of doing my assignment.
It's so hard.
I was just calling to see if you wanted to go on a blind date.
A blind date?
He's majoring in physical education and is on the ice hockey team.
Doesn't he sound hot?
On the ice hockey team? That's pretty cool.
What do you say? Is that a yes?
I've always wondered what it would be like to date a guy who plays ice hockey.
Why not just tell the whole world?
I think I'll pass.
I would be on that blind date if it wasn't for my boyfriend.
How can you turn down the opportunity?
There's a guy I'm kind of interested in.
What? Are you serious? You didn't tell me about this before.
Recently, I've been having a hard time
and he's been helping me out a lot.
I started to have feelings for him before I knew it.
It all happened so suddenly.
Oh my god. You are totally smitten.
I think so. I think I am into him.
I can't stop thinking about him
and when we're together,
I get nervous.
Oh, my God. Come on, tell me who it is!
I'll tell you some other time.
Did you hear back from the place you applied for an internship?
Don't try to change the subject. Tell me who it is you like.
I'll tell you later when things go...
Wait a second.
Was this on this entire time?
The phone has been disconnected.
Go on, I'm listening.
Hello?
Song-i, are you there?
I'll call you back later.
Tae-o.
Yeah?
Did you hear everything?
