Mom, don't go.
Let me come with you!

Mom…
[♪ soft emotional music playing]
[metallic clang]
Let me keep this, Dad.
Dad… [grunts]
[Chan's dad] You shouldn't accept kids without their parents' permission!
-I… -Come with me.
[men speaking indistinctly]
[softly in English] Okay.
[in Korean] Dad! Dad!
I promise not to draw anymore, so…
So please let me stay in Korea.

EPISODE 3
[♪ soft emotional music continues]
[indistinct chatter]
[in English] I'll see you. Excuse me.
[♪ music fades]
Are you using this room by yourself?
No, I have a roommate, but he's traveling right now.
Do you want a drink?
[cups thud]
Father…
That's just…
[♪ tense music playing]
[breath trembling]
[sighs]
[objects clatter]
[grunting angrily]
How long are you going to keep doing this?
What more do I have to do to make you stop?
[♪ music fades]
[breath trembling]
[door slams shut]
[♪ somber music playing]
[breathes shakily]
[crying]
[Chan] I kept forcing myself to hang on,
but I couldn't find any reason to keep going,
so I eventually decided to end it all.
[pinging]
-But then she disturbed me really loudly. -[♪ music fades]
[inhales sharply, groans]
[pinging continues]
[sighs]
[groans]
Ran CHAN, CHAN, CHAN!
Oh…
[Haran] The pen you sent me for my birthday…
I used it to draw a design, and it won in our company contest!
-Let's go! -[Chan] It won?
[Haran] Thank you so much!
You know,
you're my savior.
"You're…
my savior."
And that disruption gave me an opportunity.
An opportunity to live again.
-[♪ optimistic music playing] -[laptop pings]
Ran DARN IT!
[Haran] Oh, gosh. They said it's a fake.
That Gold-something that helps you sleep. I heard there's no proof.
I should've looked into it before telling you.
[♪ "Goldberg Variations, BWV 988: Aria" plays on speakers]
-[mouse clicks] -[♪ music stops]
[mouse clicks]
[♪ Baroque music continues on earphones]
[sighs] Why did it suddenly get so lively?
It's like music to wake you up.
I'm so sorry.
[keyboard clacking]
[pings]
[Haran] Shocking news.
I was eating lunch with my teammates,
and there was…
dun dun, eggplant in it.
Gross.
[Chan] Eggplant?
[Haran] It's all mushy and squishy, and it's neon-colored. Yuck! [retches]
The taste of a neon alien. [retches]
[♪ Baroque music continues]
[Chan] Mmm.
A neon alien…
I laughed properly for the first time thanks to her.
[rain pattering]
I used to be trapped in a tiny world,
-and it grew wider because of her. -[♪ pleasant music playing]
[sighs]
[Chan] But that person who laughed and shone so brightly…
keeps crying now.
She keeps hiding.
[sighs]
[Chan] I want to do the same for her now
and help her live joyfully again.
Because she was a grateful disruption that made me live again.
Is it okay if I start being really nice to you from now on?
[chuckles softly]
No,
you can't.
What?
Why?
Oh, right.
I just want to repay you for what you did.
If it's because of those clothes, it's fine.
I have no intention of getting close to anyone.
What if there's a time limit?
[♪ lighthearted music playing]
I…
I just meant…
We can be friends while I'm in Korea.
[chuckles softly] Just for three months.
[sighs softly]
We'll keep seeing each other at work and at SHIM.
So…
"Let's live so I won't have any regrets."
You said that was your motto.
"Let's not get close to anyone. Then nothing will happen."
That's my motto.
I'll get along with you very well as a colleague.
But I will never get close to you personally.
[pings]
A three-month trial!
[stutters]
You know, like free trials in apps and games.
There's nothing to lose.
You can use me as a friend when you're bored
or a misunderstanding for Ms. Kim.
Just try me out as a free trial.
As soon as the three months is over, I'll disappear without a trace.
All right, fine.
You really don't want to be friends?
[sighs] No.
Okay. I understand.
Then, I'll make you want to become my friend.
-Excuse me? -Mmm.
[♪ sentimental song playing]
I hope you get better soon.
What…

IN YOUR RADIANT SEASON
Haran.
[♪ song fades]
[birds chirping]
Geez. Are you a bear?
You're sleeping in the cave now?
[sighs] I fell asleep.
Come downstairs.
I have something to announce.
First of all, thank you for gathering early in the morning.
Please understand, since I'm a busy high school senior.
I'm sleepy. Just get to the point, please.
Okay, I will.
I'm going to get married.
Mmm. You're always planning things, but aren't you planning way too far ahead?
No, I want to get married in a few months.
[Hayeong inhales sharply]
-With whom? -My boyfriend.
What do you mean? How can you just get married…
[gasps]
[in English] Wait a minute.
[in Korean] I trust you, but this is really sudden,
so I'm asking just in case.
-Are you… -Don't be ridiculous.
We've been dating purely without crossing the line.
Don't even think about it.
Tell me. Who is he?
I've known him since elementary school.
Cha Yougyum. He's in our school's baseball team.
[scoffs] He should focus on baseball instead of seducing our innocent Hadam.
He's an innocent guy who only thinks about baseball and me.
I'm the one who suggested marriage.
Fine, let's say you get married. How will you make a living?
He's joining the Major League. He's joining the New York Comets.
It was on the news.
The Comets?
So are you saying you'll give up your studies
and go to the US with him?
No, I'm going to medical school here like I planned.
I want us to get married so I won't feel anxious when he's away.
Things won't change much right away.
[groans] She planned everything already.
Hey, Hadam.
You don't know much about life yet, so--
Wait.
Let me meet him first.
-[♪ upbeat music playing] -Grandma!
All right.
He's in Jeju Island for a competition, so I'll bring him home after.
Okay. We'll discuss this after I meet him.
[giggles]
I have to go study now, so I'll see you later.
Song Hadam.
Hey. How…
Haran. Sis!
Shouldn't you say something as the eldest sister?
Grandma said she'll discuss it after meeting him.
Go get ready for work.
What?
How are they all so relaxed
when a teenager said she's getting married?
Mom, Dad. Isn't this crazy?
[Chan] Then, I'll make you want to become my friend.
[echoing] I'll make you want to become my friend.
-[sighs] -[♪ amusing music playing]
What is he trying to do?
Do you have a meeting here?
No, I just wanted to get everyone coffee.
Coffee? Nice!
I'll be back in a second.
Oh. Ms. Song, what are you doing?
[sighs] It's nothing.
-[♪ music fades] -[Seung-gyu sighs] Mmm.
This is good.
[chuckles softly, inhales sharply]
Where's Ms. Song?
She disappears at 12 on the dot.
Is she Lunch Cinderella or what? Where is she even going?
Does she think I'll get curious about her?
Since you're here, have lunch with us.
Sorry, I'll pass today.
Next time. Enjoy your lunch.
Genius.
-Are you visiting, too? -[barks]
[Haran] Aww.
I can't go to SHIM for a while.
I'll see you later.
[Haran coos]
[barking]
-[♪ upbeat song playing on speakers] -[coughs]
[sighs heavily]
[lively chatter]
[slurps]
Ugh...
[groans]
[sighs]
[gasps]
[gasps] No way.
[gasping]
-[both exclaim] -[tableware clanging]
[Haran exclaims]
I'm sorry.
Are you okay? I'll order the same one for you. [sighs]
[papers rustle]
Okay. Let's run the meeting with Lafayette like this.
Is there anything else? If that's it…
I want to say something.
Go on.
I want to be excluded from the animation collaboration.
[hiccups]
[♪ pensive music playing]
Why?
Well, I don't know much about animation,
and I don't think I'm skilled enough--
[Nana] Stop.
That's a long excuse.
Prove yourself instead.
Just do it, no matter what.
That's it for today.
[staff] Thank you.
[sighs]
[door closes]
-[♪ soft jazz music playing on speakers] -[shop bell chimes]
Mr. Park. Oh…
Is she not here?
Do you need to see her?
[chuckles] It's nothing. I'll head upstairs.
All right.
[Chan grunts]
[chuckles]
Ah.
-I'm heading out for a bit! -Okay.
[♪ pleasant music playing]
-[shop bell chimes] -He just got here. Where is he going?
-[shop bell chimes] -[Chan] Mr. Park, I'm going upstairs!
Mr. Park, I'm heading out!
-Where are you going? -Just buying something!
-Good boy. Wait. -[Chan] I'm going upstairs!
-[objects clatter] -[groaning]
-[Chan] Is it broken? -Did you break something?
[panting] No, it's fine. I'm going upstairs.
[scoffs, exclaims]
Genius, do you know why he's so busy?
[whines]
[♪ music fades]
[cell phone vibrating]
[telephone ringing]
-Yes, this is Nana Atelier-- -[woman gasping] Help me.
Hayeong?
[shop owner] It's 39,000 won.
[exclaims] I'll transfer the money. It's fine.
It's okay. Eat as much as you want.
Here.
YUMMY SNACK BAR
[in English] Okay.
[in Korean] Then I'll treat you next time.
Here. Have one.
-It's fine-- -Come on. Try it.
I mean, no one carries around cash these days.
I was about to transfer the money,
[mouthful] but I left my phone at the office.
So I borrowed the owner's phone and called,
hoping someone would pick up at work.
And, wow, the man who always goes home last
picked up and saved me.
-Applause. -[cell phone vibrating]
[Hayeong] Hang on.
Hey, Chaewon.
A blind date?
Okay, send me his profile.
Okay.
Someone saw my photo
and asked my friend to set us up on a date.
He said I'm his type.
-[cell phone vibrates] -[sighs]
I always end up just being friends with guys on blind dates.
But this time, it might be different.
He's handsome, right?
[hums excitedly] "Cha Min." Even his name is nice.
What do you think, Mr. Yeon?
I'm not so sure.
[mockingly] You're not so sure?
Mmm. He looks okay.
[Hayeong clears throat] Thank you.
Bye!
-[shop owner] Come again next time! -[Hayeong] Okay.
Right, my phone!
Bye!
CHARACTER "WON"
I want to be excluded from the animation collaboration.
[inhales deeply]
Did they argue?
Hang on.
No…
I'm going on a blind date.
Okay.
Were you two deceiving me?
What?
You're seeing someone, but you're at home on a weekend?
[♪ amusing music playing]
You were lying to me, weren't you?
We weren't lying.
Didn't you say you were meeting him today?
What?
I… Gosh, it's time to go. We can head out together. [chuckles]
See you later.
Bye!
[inhales sharply]
That's suspicious.
Is it really true?
[♪ music ends]
Hayeong, why do you keep doing this?
Shh! This is for your sake.
Mr. Yoon won't be the only one on Grandma's list.
-Just spend some time outside. -[sighs]
You can go to Genius' coffee shop.
I can't go there.
-Maybe I should go to the office. -No.
Don't you know Grandma?
I bet she checks all the entrance records.
-[sighs] -[cell phone vibrating]
[gasps] Hang in there, okay?
-Bye! -[stutters]
Mr. Cha? Hi.
[sighs frustratingly] Darn it.
I have nowhere to go.
[♪ soft music playing on speakers]
[pager vibrates]
[customers chatter indistinctly]
[customer 1] The course was so tough today.
[indistinct chatter continues]
[customer 1] Gosh.
[customer 2] There's a large variety.
[♪ whimsical music playing]
[Chan] Then I'll make you want to become my friend.
[echoing] I'll make you want to become my friend.
[customer 1] Geez.
[customer 3] You ran around a lot today, so this is on me today.
-So have anything you want. -[customers exclaim, applause]
[customer 4] I'm going to have something expensive.
Who are you?
What? I…
Ah. [chuckles] I have a girlfriend.
No, it's not that. Sorry. I'll just sit here for a second.
[customer 3] You were amazing, Mr. Seonu.
How were you so good on your first day?
I was just doing my best not to fall behind. [chuckles]
Number 26, your order's ready.
[pager vibrates]
[stutters] You can have this.
[restaurant staff] Number 26, your salad is ready.
Number 26?
Number 26, your order is ready.
Number 26?
[♪ music ends]
[scraping]
[sighs]
[gasps, sighs]
It's only 5:00 p.m.
Tsk.
-[sighs] -[boy] You're good!
[children cheering]
You're so good!
-Right? -[boy] You're amazing!
[Chan] Then I'll make you want to become my friend.
[echoing] I'll make you want to become my friend.
[♪ whimsical music playing]
[Haran] What is he doing here?
[boy 1] I want to do it, too.
-[boy 2] You're so good. -[boy 3] I want to do it.
-I want to do it, too! -[Chan exclaims]
-Oh no. -Oh no.
I'm sorry!
Where do I go?
[Haran groans]
[♪ music fades]
[Chan sighs] Where did she go?
I'm sorry!
[♪ slow pensive music playing]
[sighs]
[dog barks]
[Chan] Then, I'll make you want to become my friend.
[sighs defeatedly] Again?
Oh? Ms. Song! [chuckles]
It's nice being neighbors.
I was going to call you to give you this.
Aren't they pretty?
Green tangerine, lemon, beet…
They're good for… Hey, you're not coughing.
-I'm sorry, but I have to go… -[traffic light beeping]
I have to go. Sorry.
[engine accelerating]
-[exclaims] -[glass shatters]
-[engine revs] -[tires screech]
[Chan grunts]
[rider] Watch the traffic lights!
-[Chan grunts] -[Haran sighs]
Are you okay?
Uh… Why were you in such a hurry?
-[Haran groans] -[Chan exclaims]
Are you hurt?
Let me see.
[stammers] Wait.
[Chan grunts]
[Haran sighs]
[Chan pants] Sorry, sir.
-[Haran groans] -[Chan pants]
We should go to a hospital.
It's fine.
No, it's not. You hurt your hand, and you're a designer.
[Chan sighs]
I'm sorry. [grunts]
-Let's go get you treated. -Why did you…
[sighs heavily]
I told you I have no intention of getting close to you.
It makes me uncomfortable when you act like we're close.
It may have sounded weird since I'm a guy, but I didn't mean anything like that--
Whether you're a guy or not, I don't want to get close.
I can't even go to the cafe I love the most because of you, and…
-[♪ heartwarming music playing] -[Haran sighs wearily]
I can't keep avoiding you in the same neighborhood,
so let me be frank.
I'm really sorry,
but I'm a bit weird.
I feel at ease only if nothing happens in my life.
I hate people entering my life,
and I hate my daily routine getting disturbed.
I…
I don't need any variables in my life.
Please.
[sighs]
[mumbles]
I understand. I get it.
I'll just stand quietly next to you,
so let's go to the hospital.
Your wrist's swollen.
Please.
[♪ music fades]
[doctor] Uh… It's a Grade 1 sprain.
There's some irritation to the soft tissue,
so try not to move your wrist too much for the next two weeks.
The nurse will treat you.
All right. Thank you.
-Just a moment, please. -Okay.
[Chan] Thank you.
[clears throat]
Come out when you're done.
I'll be waiting outside.
Do I have to keep this on? My family's going to worry.
You can switch to a brace and take it off from time to time.
Wearing it for too long will slow down natural healing,
so check your condition for a few days and take it off if there's no pain.
Okay.
[♪ soft emotional song playing]
[restaurant staff] Number 26, your salad is ready.
I can't even go to the cafe I love the most because of you, and…
[sighs wearily]
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
I didn't think what I said bothered you that much.
If I was an uncomfortable variable,
I'm really sorry.
[Haran] Oh…
So just come to SHIM whenever you want.
It would be a shame not to be able to go there.
I'll move out.
And walk around the neighborhood as you want.
I'll leave so we won't run into each other.
Just give me a few days.
And at work,
I'll pretend nothing happened.
I promise to never create
any variables for you…
or bother you again.
-[sighs] I… -[taxi honks]
Oh. Sorry, sir. She's getting in.
Go on.
[♪ soft emotional song playing]
[sighs]
[♪ song fades]
[cell phone vibrating]
SHIM
Hmm?
Mr. Park, hi.
Hey there.
Sorry for calling you.
You've been coming here every day for seven years,
so I've been worried since you haven't come in a while.
Are you sick or anything?
I'm just busy with work.
I'll be back once it's settled.
Yes.
[Chan] I'm here!
[Manjae] You're late.
[Chan] You had dinner, right?
[Manjae] Of course. I enjoyed the stew you cooked for me.
How are you such a good cook?
-[Chan] What about your medicine? -[line disconnects]
[♪ solemn music playing]
I thought I'd feel safer if there was someone with me.
And he's adorable.
He's a really good man.
I'll move out.
[sighs heavily]
[sighs]
Of course, I took my medicine.
I get a harsh scolding from someone named Chan
if I don't take them.
[both chuckle]
Oh?
This guy must be going through a transplant shock.
A transplant shock?
When plants are suddenly put in a different environment…
[inhales sharply] they go into shock, thinking, "Where am I"?
Just like humans.
They need time to adjust to an unexpected variable.
A variable…
What if… they can't adjust?
A lot of them just wither
and die in the end.
[clicks tongue] It's a pity.
-[♪ music ends] -I should clean up.
-Wait, I'll do it. -[exclaims]
I said I'd kick you out if you do this. It's my job to do that.
I love cleaning windows. It's a habit of mine.
My gosh.
All right…
[mirror squeaking]
[sighs]
[Haran] I can't even go to the cafe I love the most because of you, and…
[Chan] Come to SHIM whenever you want. I'll move out.
Mr. Park.
How can you be so adorable?
I feel like I've suddenly gotten a son.
Thank you for being here.
[chuckles]
[chuckles softly]
Oh, right.
Weren't you about to say something to me?
I…
I'll clean up here, so you can go to bed. [chuckles softly]
All right.
And…
sleep tight.
[both chuckle]
Okay.
-Good night. -Good night.
Oh, my.
Tsk. [sighs]
-[♪ heartwarming music playing] -Tsk.
cafe SHIM
Tsk.
[sighs]
I should have just left her be.
It wasn't my business.

-[player 1] Great work. -[player 2] Great job.
[player 3] Great job, everyone.

Why are you taking off your pants?
Take my uniform.
[Changmo] Cha Yougyum! Where are you going?
I'm going to see Hadam!
[♪ music fades]
[cell phone chimes]

-What's wrong, Hadam? -[whimpering]
I heard a thud over the phone…
Oh… Sorry. Someone was in danger, so I had to help them.
[Yougyum sighs]
It's fine if you're okay.
Is that person okay?
Yes, thankfully.
I promise not to worry you again. I'm really sorry.
You must have been angry.
No, I like you even more now.
-You're so kind. -[chuckles]
Grandma told me to bring you home.
Hmm?
[♪ whimsical music playing]
My heart's going to explode already.
[stutters] What do I wear? A suit? Our school uniform?
Not my baseball uniform. Should I do my hair?
I should get new socks, and…
First, let's eat something.
[whines] I'm hungry after all that running.
-Okay. -[Hadam chuckles softly]
Ah.
But do you really think we can get married before I go?
Yougyum, did you ever see me failing to carry out a plan?
-No. -We just have to stick to my plan.
You're so cool.
[both chuckle]
[Hadam] The game was tough, wasn't it?
[Yougyum] It wasn't that tough,
but I feel like I aged 10 years from missing you so much.
[Hadam] I aged 20 years.
[♪ music ends]
[Chan] Here. Hang on.
Wait.
[Chan clears throat]
Now, this drawing… will turn into real candy.
[♪ amusing music playing]
-No way. -That's nonsense.
I mean it.
All right… Mmm.
[rustling]
-Look. -[all gasp]
-Where did they come from? -What was that?
[staff] They're real.
[Sol] They're real candy.
Take them. Take them.
[staff exclaiming]
These actually are real.
-[Sol] How did you do that? -[in English] Unbelievable.
Hi.
[♪ music fades]
[in Korean] This is some kind of trick, right?
Chan, tell me how you did it. I want to show my friends.
-[Chan] Okay. -"Chan"?
I'll send a video to our group chat.
[staff] Yes!
Right, Chan. We need a revenge match.
-"Group chat"? -[Seung-gyu] Let's go bowling again.
Sure. Anytime.
-I want to join, too! -Me too. Me too.
[lively chatter, laughter]
-[Chan] Are you sure? -[Sol] This will be fun.
[Seung-gyu] How will we divide teams?
-[Sol] Our teams? -[Remy] Well…
♪ Flip your hands ♪
-[Sol] What? -[Hayeong] What is that?
Let's be friends while I'm in Korea. Can I be really nice to you?
Sure. Of course.
Of course.
I really wanted to get close to you.
-Sure. -Yes, sure. I'd love that.
No, you can't.
Whether it's a guy or not,
I have no intention of getting close to anyone.
[staff] Rock, paper…
[Sol] Okay, rock.
-One, two, three. -[staff] Okay!
[staff exclaiming, chattering]
-[man] This is a revenge match. -[Hayeong] We won.
[staff cheering, laughing]
[Haran] Did I overreact when he asked everyone to be friends?
Then let's select some dancheong references that will suit Won
and put together a few rough drafts.
Sure.
I'm visiting some palaces for some research tomorrow.
I'll take a lot of photos.
-Really? -Yes.
You're going too, right?
-Me? -Yes, you.
Shouldn't you do something to show me results?
Well, I have a fabric meeting tomorrow,
-and I have to go to the factory-- -Send Raemee.
Go with him. It's for work.
You can bring Ms. Song with you, right?
Well… [chuckles nervously]
Then can I go to the palaces instead? Ms. Song can go to the factory…
-[blade swishes] -[lion roars]
[dog whimpers]
I would love to go to the factory.
I'll go there, and Ms. Song can go to the palaces. [chuckles nervously]
Okay. Then let's gather at our next meeting.
Ms. Kim, when should I go to the factory tomorrow?
If you feel uneasy, I'll go on a different date.
You can tell Ms. Kim--
No, let's go. It's for work.
Right. It's for work.
Then I'll text you the details.
And I'm sorry, but give me some time to move out.
I haven't told Mr. Park yet.
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
[stammers] I…
[sighs, mumbles]
Yes. I'm heading to the Lafayette meeting.
I'll call you after.
-[Sol] Oh, gosh! -[Remy] What? What is it?
[Sol] Oh, my gosh!
-[Remy] What is it? -[Seungkyu] What's with those flowers?
-I received them. -[Sol gasps]
[Sol] What?
Your date treated you to lunch and gave you flowers?
Hang on, aren't these ranunculus flowers?
They mean "You're beautiful."
[sighs] Am I beautiful?
-[squealing] -Geez. What's with you?
Are you dating? It doesn't suit you.
Not yet, but we'll meet often. His workplace is nearby.
So I won't be able to have lunch with you guys for a while.
[all exclaim]
-[Sol] I'm so jealous. -[Seungkyu] Congratulations!
-[Sol] When are you meeting again? -[Hayeong] Tomorrow.
[Sol and Remy squeal]
-[Remy] No way. -[Sol] I'm so jealous.
[in English] Just to confirm,
do you want to tweak the details on the Lafayette coat line one more time?
Yes. If you don't mind, we'd appreciate pushing the delivery back a bit.
[woman 1 in Korean] I got a boyfriend.
-What do you think? -Let me see.
-He's so handsome. -Isn't he?
-What does he do? -[woman 2] Let me see. Oh, my gosh.
[squeals]
Hello.
Do you know the meaning of these ranunculus flowers?
[women] I don't know.
-"You're beautiful." -[gasps, squeals]
What?
Thank you.
-[women squeal] -[man chuckles]
[woman 1] You said you couldn't come today.
[clicks tongue]
[in English] Surprise.
[man chuckles]
He's handsome, right? "Cha Min." Even his name is nice.
I got these for you.
-What? -Did you eat?
[in English] Mr. Yeon, would one more week be okay with you?
Oh, yes.
[man in Korean] Would you like some coffee?
[women squeal]
-[woman 2] Thank you. [squeals] -[sighs]
[man 1] Hey, you look nice.
[woman] It's been a while since I wore a hanbok.
SINGPUNGNU
[man 2] Wow, it's so cool.
[sighs] This is going to be awkward.
[♪ Korean traditional instrumental music playing]
You've got to be kidding me.
You're here.
Your outfit…
Ah. The fee is free if we wear a hanbok.
If you want, there's a rental shop over there…
No, it's completely fine.
-All right. -[♪ music ends]
-Let's go, then. -Okay.
[♪ pleasant music playing]
[camera shutter clicks]
[camera shutter clicking]
Wow. Aren't they beautiful?
Thanks to the dancheong,
the wood doesn't rot in the rain and is protected from pests.
Isn't it awesome?
[Chan] Mmm.
It's just basic knowledge.
I'd like to brag, but I studied that in advance.
I like showing off my knowledge.
[clears throat]
This is my bucket list for Korea.
-I'd feel upset if I didn't do all these. -[♪ music fades]
I don't know whether I'll be back in a decade or two,
or maybe never again.
[in English] Wow, hanbok looks so cool. Can I take a picture?
Of course, why not?
Okay. Guys, come on.
-Okay. -Kimchi.
[tourists] Kimchi.
-Thank you. -Thank you so much.
Have a great day.
Wow, man, it looks good.
[in Japanese] Can we take a photo with you, too?
One, two, three.
[tourists and Chan] Thank you.
-[in English] Thank you. -Thank you. Thank you so much.
-[woman 1] Have a nice day. -You too.
[woman 2] Bye.
[in Korean] Ah, sorry, I wore this to break the ice,
but I didn't expect this.
My clothes are in the locker, so I'll get changed.
[student] It's the king!
-[Chan clears throat] -[students chatter indistinctly]
Ice breaking…
[exhales]
[woman] Ran!
[Chan] Huh?
BONGSUDANG
Hmm?
Where did she go?
Did she go to the restroom?
[sighs heavily]
[sighs]
[sighs softly]
-[call connects] -[cell phone ringing]
[Chan] Huh?
She left her phone here?
[ringing continues]
[♪ pensive music playing]
[Chan panting]
[panting]
Where in the world is she?
[continues panting]
What…
[pants]
Ms. Song!
[sighs, sniffles]
[Chan panting]
You just disappeared.
What is it?
Let's go. We have to work.
What's wrong?
-It's nothing. -I…
I know you hate others meddling, but let me meddle just this once.
What's wrong? I'm honestly worried.
[sighs]
Then, let's sit for a moment.
[groans] My legs…
[groaning]
Let's sit for a while.
[groans softly]
[Chan clears throat]
I heard a voice.
[♪ soft emotional music playing]
[woman] Ran!
[Haran] Someone called my name, so I went to look.
[woman] Ran!
[both chuckle]
KIM RAN
-I'll try it first. -Okay.
[Haran] But her voice was so similar to my mom's.
Ran, come here.
[Haran] It sounded like my mom was actually calling me,
so I burst into tears.
[young Haran] Mom.
[Haran] Ran, Ran.
My mom always called me like that.
[♪ music continues]
-[Haran's mom] I like this song! -[Haran's dad] Mmm?
-It's Hadam's favorite song. -[♪ song playing on radio]
-[Hadam exclaims] -It is.
[both parents chuckle]
Hadam, do you want to say hi to your sisters?
-Yes. -Okay.
Hi!
-[Haran's mom] Hi. -[Haran's dad] They look so excited.
[Haran and Nana chuckle]
[♪ song continues playing]
[exclaims]
-[♪ music stops] -[tires screech]
[gasps]
-[Hayeong screams] -[Nana breathes shakily]
Mom.
Dad.
[rattling]
Dad…
[♪ somber music playing]
Dad! Dad!
Dad!
[Haran breathing heavily]
Mom!
Mom, get up! Mom!
Mom!
Please!
-Mom! -Dad.
[Hayeong crying] Dad!
[Haran crying] Help us!
[♪ somber music continuing]
[Haran] They said the driver suddenly had a cardiac arrest.
Both my parents died on the spot,
right in front of me.
I know she wasn't calling me,
and that I was mistaken,
but when I heard her voice,
I think I felt happy for a split second.
-I know that sounds strange. -[♪ music fades]
Well, you felt like someone you miss
called your name.
[♪ soft emotional music playing]
-[Haran] Chan. -[EKG beeping]
-I love you. -[EKG beeping rapidly]
-I love you, Chan. -[beeping stops]
[breathing deeply]
[♪ music continues]
It's not strange at all.
Ah…
[groans] I guess I was showing off again.
[chuckles softly]
I'm sorry.
What?
Oh. It's fine. I was almost done looking around.
I'm really sorry
for lashing out at you until now.
You did nothing wrong,
but I was so harsh on you.
And those fruit syrups last time…
I'm really sorry.
No, it's all my fault.
I shouldn't have said all that stuff about being friends.
I'm sorry.
Look, you're doing it again.
I'm the one who's weird.
I keep making other people apologize when I'm the one who's sorry.
I know I'm being rude and cruel,
and I want to change, but I don't know how.
Getting close to someone is really difficult…
No,
it's scary for me.
Losing someone you care about without warning
is already painful enough…
[siren wailing]
...but it happened to me again… so cruelly.
So I run away before it happens.
Because I feel like I'll crumble if that happens again.
If no one is special to me,
then at least nothing bad will happen.
At first, I put up walls to protect myself,
but now, I feel like I'm trapped behind them.
[♪ music fades]
Darn it. I must be crazy. What am I doing? [sniffling]
You're so strange.
[stammers] Me?
As soon as the three months is over, I'll disappear without a trace.
Maybe it's because you'll leave soon.
Hm.
Huh?
-[♪ lighthearted music playing] -[gasps softly]
That's beautiful.
[Chan chuckles]
[grunts, inhales sharply]
I should take photos. [clears throat]
Huh? My bag.
I left my bag behind.
I'll go and get it…
Wait. What are you doing?
-What? -Don't you need your bag, too?
[gasps]
[exclaiming] My bag! Oh, gosh!
Come on. [clears throat]
[♪ lighthearted music continues]
[Hayeong] I also just got off work.
-[beeps] -[Hayeong] Oh.
-You're coming here? -[♪ music ends]
Sure, let's meet up.
But, Mr. Cha, are you walking here?
Wow, that's so close. I'll see you in 10--
Ms. Kim wants you in her office.
-Me? Um… -[♪ suspenseful music playing]
Oh. Sorry, but can you wait--
[Taeseok] She wants to see you immediately.
And it will take a while.
Why?
[sighs]
[stutters] I'm sorry, something came up. I don't think we can meet today.
I'll call you later. Bye.
-[elevator dings] -Why is she asking for me?
[♪ music continues]
You'll know when you get there.
Did I do something wrong?
Excuse me.
I heard you were…
[stutters] looking for me…
Where is she?
[♪ music fades]
Mmm… Then I'll refer to the dancheong we saw today and…
-Hey, Donggu. -Hey!
Were you practicing soccer?
-Yes. But, Chan… -Yes?
This thing you did with the ball.
Can you show us again?
Again?
Hmm. [sighs]
[inhales sharply] Since my dear Donggu is asking,
-of course, I'll do it for you. -Yes!
Watch. [clears throat]
Here.
[children exclaim]
-You're so good. Wow! -You're amazing.
You're like Son Heungmin!
[exclaims] Nice, Donggu.
[chuckles softly]
But my shoes aren't comfy, and I'm with someone today,
-so that's it for today. -[Donggu] Okay.
[Chan] Here you go.
-See you later. -[Chan] Okay.
Bye.
-Bye. -[children] Bye.
-[Donggu] Bye. -[Haran chuckles]
Let's go have pizza!
He's Kim Donggu. He lives in the neighborhood.
We started talking and grew close. We really clicked.
-[cell phone vibrates] -Hang on.
It's Je Raemee. [chuckles] It's about our bowling game.
You really are a human capybara.
A capybara? The animal that looks like a huge rat?
[inhales sharply] Well… I've never heard that I look like a rat before.
Oh. I just meant how you get close to everyone around you.
Look it up. You're exactly the same.
Anyway, thanks for everything today. Let's head home now.
I'll get going.
[♪ soft emotional music playing]
[Chan panting]
Let me make it clear since you seem to have misunderstood.
It's true that I want to get close to everyone.
But I meant something else when I asked us to be friends.
I wanted to show you…
that there's another way.
At first, I was curious why you were standing
in front of that winter painting by yourself.
And while working with you and watching you,
I thought that perhaps…
you thought the person standing alone in that painting was you.
So I know it's not my place, but I wanted to show you something…
that someone else showed me before.
You know, I used to go to bed every night as a child
hoping that day would be the last.
But I kept waking up,
and I lived like a corpse…
[bully 1 in English] He's so weird. Welcome him.
[bullies laughing]
[bully 2] No, he's a crazy guy.
[students whisper, laugh]
[Chan in Korean] …with no hope, expression, or color.
[♪ music continues]
Then when I truly thought it didn't matter if I died
and decided to end everything…
[pinging]
[groans]
-...someone suddenly talked to me. -[♪ music fades]
Purely by coincidence.
"You're…
my savior."
[sighs, groans]
Congratulations, and…
you…
[sighs]
[keyboard thudding]
saved me as well.
That coincidence made me stop,
and my daily life started changing as well.
[♪ romantic song playing]
[Haran] I finally got the sketch sample for my design.
Make some noise! It's all thanks to this pen.
[Chan] The words that person said to me made me smile.
[Haran] Thank you for helping me not give up on what I love.
For giving me a reason to keep going.
[Chan] For the first time, I started looking forward to the next day.
[sighing]
And…
I wanted to find a reason to keep going...
[sighs]
...thanks to that person who kept reaching out and talking to me.
So… you can overcome it.
Once you know how,
you'll be able to escape on your own.
I learned it through that person, so I wanted to show you, too.
[♪ song continues]
I've also been trapped
in a long winter all by myself.
[Chan] Is his name Mong? [gasps]
You're so cute, Mong.
Let's take a picture.
I can't hear on this side.
I wanted to get close
-because you reminded me of my past. -[gasps]
[sighs]
[Chan] I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.
[Chan] Three. Hey, Mong. Look at the camera.
-But I guess that doesn't matter. -One, two, three.
[camera clicks]
[Haran] Excuse me!
What?
What is it?
[Haran] Take this.
Oh…
You didn't get to drink your favorite milk because of me.
[♪ song fades]
Is your suggestion still valid?
What?
[stutters] Hang on, I'll go over there.
[Haran stutters]
No, I'll go.
Sorry, I didn't hear you. What did you say?
And what's with this milk?
Is it still valid?
What?
Oh. The expiration date?
Not the milk.
I mean… being friends.
The three-month trial.
Is that still valid?
I'd like to learn.
Can you show me?
You said someone showed you how to escape from winter.
[♪ soft music playing]
Uh…
I guess I'm too late.
[shakily] I understand. I was so cruel to you.
I'm so pathetic, going back and forth like this.
I'm just curious whether I can change as well.
And I thought it would be okay if there's a time limit.
Never mind. Just forget--
It's valid.
It's still valid.
Ah…
It's valid…
Well, I…
The nurse told me that if I keep this on for too long,
I wouldn't be able to heal naturally.
So I thought
I shouldn't stay trapped behind my own barriers…
[chuckles] I'm saying this because I…
Then, it's okay to be really nice to you now, right?
Just three months.
A trial period.
I'll do my best to learn, too.
[sighs]
[smacks lips]
[in English] Okay.
[in Korean] Then let's do this.
It'll be like we're on a spring picnic.
Let's have fun.

IN YOUR RADIANT SEASON
[Chan] It was my first time hearing that sound.
[doctor] What if there is still an empty spot in your memories
that you're not aware of?
[Haran] I told you a secret, so next time it's your turn.
[Yougyum] It seemed like she might have dementia.
[Nana] So please… Keep this a secret for now.
[Hayeong] It can't be, right?
[woman] You have a crush on Ms. Song, don't you?
[Haran] "That person"?
-[Haran gasping] I… -[car horn blares]
...shouldn't have asked you for a ride.
[Chan] As long as she becomes happy, I don't care what happens.
