Motel California (2025) s01e05 Episode Script

Episode 5

1
Ah! You startled me!
Ice cream? You don't usually eat ice cream.
Because there's someone to buy it for.
What's this? I caught you right there.
Who is it?
Then, will you buy me one too?
I mean, I like ice cream too.
Alright, then.
Yay! Ice cream!
- Hello.
- Hello.
Wow! That looks delicious!
Director, what would you like to have?
- I'll take one of these in the family size.
- Yes.
This one?
A provocative flavor?
Why are you like this?
Ah, what should I have?
I really can't live like this.
What a waste of a fine-looking person.
Live your life straight.
Let go! Who do you think you are?
Who are you?
I'm the wife of the man you took to a
motel! What are you going to do about it?
You're dead!
Let go!
Hey, leave! Take your husband and go!
You scammer, go away!
It hurts, really!
Love isn't a crime, is it?
What are you saying? You!
Please stop! Yes. Okay!
Kang Hee, shall we go for ice cream?
Can I have a double?
No, you can have a double-double.
Then I'll have Shooting Star.
I'll take mint chocolate chip.
One is…
Chocolate?
Walnut?
Oh, I can't choose.
Then, choose four flavors
you'd like to have.
You should have mint chocolate chip.
- It's okay.
- Dummy.
Okay.
I'll take walnut.
And you?
I'll have two mint chocolate chips.
Don't eat ice cream with anyone else.
But after soccer,
I always eat with the guys.
Not like that.
Only eat Berry Scoop with me.
Then you too, only eat with me.
You promise first.
I don't want to. You're just
going to make me do it again.
Ah, come on!
Hurry!
Ah, really!
It's a promise!
This one is good, and that's good too.
I'll have the chocolate flavor, please.
Yes, I'll help you with the payment first.
- Please wrap it separately.
- Yes.
Bad guy.
You punk.
Okay.
From now on, even just the ice cream
or Berry Scoop,
I'll eat it only with you.
- Okay.
- Is that settled?
Yeah.
But,
- you play soccer?
- Yeah
The kids let me be the goalkeeper.
I did well, right?
You punk.
Who's the punk you're talking about?
You will look at someone
else with those eyes.
You will call someone else with that voice.
You will hold someone else in your heart.
Kang Hee, why are you crying?
You changed.
And you changed a lot.
Kang Hee.
Don't follow me.
I know you are there.
You saw it.
You saw me crying all the way.
Are you really not coming
just because I told you not to?
Clueless teddy bear.
Kang Hee.
Hey, Ji Kang Hee.
If you go now,
I won't wait anymore.
That's what I've been hoping for.
Our first love ends here.
The end.
Are you serious?
Thank you for liking me all this time.
First love, the end.
Serves you right for acting all high
and mighty, Ji Kang Hee.
You're the one who said it's over.
Why are you crying?
I told you not to follow me.
Go!
It's expensive, a limited edition.
"Make sure you return it".
I was going to say that,
but it suits you well.
It's not easy to find something
that suits me better than this.
Just take it, Kang Hee.
- Can you see well?
- No, I can't see.
Let's go together.
What? You can see properly.
Don't follow me.
Please make sure to only
give this to Kang Hee.
Kkam Hee,
Kang Hee was the only
one who could console me.
But not anymore.
Why did Kang Hee cry?
You're asking if I asked?
She said I changed, a lot.
I'm still the same though.
What exactly has changed?
What? Cheon Yeon Soo,
were you in your room?
Hey, put this on and
follow me to the rooftop.
What is all this?
Ah, I don't know, Mr. Chun Pil
wanted us to wear one each
and then gather on the rooftop.
Today is a bit…
It's Kang Hee's welcome party.
Are you planning to skip it?
You know how he really likes welcome
or launch ceremonies, all that stuff.
So he was saying we should have one
with the family members.
Ah Reum grabbed the opportunity
and even had uniforms made.
So, now it has come to this.
Let's ride along with it, okay?
Pretend like we worked hard on it,
you know the feeling?
Come on. You'll end up being
the most enthusiastic once you're there.
Come up.
The carpet?
What carpet?
Red carpet.
Why don't you ask?
Can I ask?
There's no guarantee of an answer, though.
No, I need to hear it.
It's a very important issue to me.
What is it?
From today onwards, we
don't have to look for
accommodations, right?
We'll be staying at Motel California.
Was that what you were going to ask?
Yes, why?
Like, "why did you cry?"
"Why didn't you say
Motel California is your home?"
"Why did you say your perfectly
alive father had passed away?"
"Why do you call him Chun Pil?"…
You expected to be asked that?
Why ask things that you
would not want to talk about?
I'll find out on my own.
The moment you find out,
you'll distance yourself from me.
Because I hate men who know my past.
That's right.
How did you get here?
No, nothing happened.
- Nothing at all?
- No incidents or accidents.
Hey, Ji Kang Hee.
When did you arrive
that I'm only seeing your face now?
Kang Hee, get behind me.
Since Ji Kang Hee needs to rest today,
due to heavy workload,
please come back another time…
What heavy workload?
You were going on about interior design,
are you really the heir
to the Elitree Hotel?
I've seen it all, a Seoul man escorting
manual laborers at construction sites.
- It's not manual labor, it's the supervisor.
- Then…
Let's take the questions
one at a time, please.
Starting with me.
What do you mean by gangster?
So why do you call
Kang Hee's friends gangsters?
- Thank you.
- Please come in.
I'm back.
Kang Hee,
everyone is waiting.
For me?
Who?
[Nice to see you, Kang Hee.
Isn't it great to reunite?]
Wow! There's really a lot of beer.
Hey!
Should I help you?
Let's get ready, now.
Kang Hee should like it though.
Ah Reum and Seung Eon stand over there.
Come here.
Here.
Hey, but shouldn't her father also be here?
[Welcome]
[Hee Kang]
Maybe not? Right?
Because it's Kang Hee's house.
Pose.
Ah, what is it?
Let's go together, Ms. Kang Hee.
Who are you?
I'm Kwon.
Well…
Not just the surname, full name please.
It is Mr. Kwon.
Mr. Kwon.
I'd like my room on an
upper floor as well, please.
It's the family floor.
It seems you don't know,
but I'm practically family too.
Kang Hee and I are like family
eating from the same pot, okay?
Your family members…
Manager!
Let's go out and buy some food,
as we are family who share meals.
I'll give you my card.
No. No need!
- Manager!
- Let's go out to eat. Let's go out.
Mr. Manager!
What's about this sweater?
Huh? Sweater?
Your cronies call this a team uniform.
They got it all right and even had
me put it on. Go upstairs and look.
All your cronies are gathered there.
[Welcome, Kang Hee! Isn't
it nice to reunite?]
[Kang Hee, welcome back to Hana-eup!]
[Welcome Hee Kang]
What is this?
Congratulations on your comeback
to Hana-eup, Ji Kang Hee!
Hey, you've got it reversed!
- Hey, you should have told me!
- It's ruined.
You are "Kang" and I am "Hee".
If Mr. Chun Pil had come too,
it would be "Hee Kang Ji"!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
So, now, shall we give it a try and eat?
What is that?
This?
Do you want to try this?
It's the famous Sriracha
sauce from Thailand.
The spiciness is delicious.
- It's good?
- Yes.
It says "son of a dog", "son of a dog".
[I'm a son of a dog, woof woof.]
[I'm a piglet, oink oink.]
If you bully Cheon Yeon Soo
whoever it is, I will
pay back the same way.
Got it?
One, two, faster! One, two, one, two.
Faster! One, two, one, two.
Hold on.
Why do I have to do this?
There's no such thing
as a free lunch in this world.
I saved you, didn't I?
I don't know, I can't anymore.
Cheon Yeon Soo! Cheon Yeon Soo!
Cheon Yeon Soo! Cheon Yeon Soo!
Cheon Yeon Soo! Cheon Yeon Soo!
Cheon Yeon Soo, well done.
Cheon Yeon Soo! Cheon…
Again!
Can't go home today until it's done.
Good job! That's right!
As expected, I was right. Well done!
Number 1.
- Number 2.
- Number 3.
Number 4.
- Fighting!
- Fighting!
- Win, Kang Hee team!
- Win, Heon Yeol team!
- Win, Kang Hee team!
- Win, Heon Yeol team!
- Win, Kang Hee team!
- Win, Heon Yeol team!
Kang Hee team, win!
Kang Hee team, lose!
- Heon Yeol team, win!
- Cheon Yeon Soo, come quickly!
Cheon Yeon Soo, quickly!
Hey, Cheon Yeon Soo!
Line up properly.
Are you a gangster too?
- Not really.
- What do you mean you're not?
Kang Hee's gang, they are gangsters.
It's not a gang, it's a family!
Yeon Soo, we are going to eat red bean
bread. Do you want to come with us?
Yes.
To that treasure chest. The first
person to get there is number one!
- First place!
- Second place!
Third place!
Hey, everyone, gather around.
Ah.
Is it that delicious?
Yes.
I want to do it too, gangster.
That's right, number 3.
Number 3?
I am number 1.
I am number 2.
Number 3 is the best for Cheon Yeon Soo.
Look.
Number one, three syllables.
Number two, three syllables.
Number three,
you are the only one with four syllables.
It's special.
Number three?
Right?
Ah, garlic!
Everyone has grown a lot.
What are you talking about?
He was always calling himself the boss.
Ah, I don't know. I can't remember. And,
these days, it's Cha
Seung Eon who's the boss.
He's the one who earns
the most money among us.
I heard he even gives
pocket money to your father.
Ah? What pocket money?
He cried while releasing the cattle
at the Hanwoo farm.
He really became a man, right?
Who says I cried? I mean,
it's not that I cried, so, well…
Now I finally realize
why I'm called Han Woo!
I didn't cry.
Have some shrimp too.
How did my dad decide to name me Han Woo?
Why did he name me that way?
Yeon Soo, how about you?
Are you doing well?
Is the hospital doing well?
Just…
It's fun.
I inherited the hospital from Grandpa,
but there's also a sense of fulfillment.
You could say he's Hana-eup's top guy.
Just how many animals
is Yeon Soo responsible for?
But Cheon Yeon Soo is really lucky.
You did your apprenticeship here, too.
Right?
How about you, Ah Reum?
Are you still writing poetry?
What does it matter? Everyone knows anyway.
Yeah, even when you used to work many jobs,
pretending to be refined and writing poetry.
I wasn't pretending to be refined.
And you, Kang Hee? How have you been doing?
Me? Well…
Hey, I should get going. I'll leave first.
Hey, Kang Hee. Then, I'll go with you.
- I'll take you.
- No.
You need to clean up here.
This and that, clean it all, right?
Ah, right. Then I'll tidy this up.
Hey, Han Woo, can you help Seung Eon a bit?
Let's go, Ah Reum. I'll take you.
- Go.
- Going?
Cutting off like this?
What's going on, Ms. Ah Reum?
Leaving me out?
I'm sorry, Manager. I was invited too.
Kang Hee, I'll go ahead
with Yeon Soo. You stay here.
Let's go.
I heard it was a welcoming party for you.
Must have been nice.
Not at all.
I'm going for a walk.
Ah, it was not me, actually.
Good work!
Are you resenting me right now?
You came out following Kang Hee.
My offering you a ride was just an excuse.
Then did you do it on
purpose, knowing that?
There's the guy with Kang Hee, too.
Once the construction is finished,
she'll go back to Seoul.
If you get shaken,
how can we just watch you struggle?
I have to do well on the construction.
All of a sudden? You
are already doing well.
I ran away from here when
I was 20 years old, you know?
I went to the capital without any plan.
Moving from one exam prep room to another,
working two or three part-time jobs a day.
When I got my college diploma
with my own effort,
although it was a community college,
I was happy to make it to first base.
After I got a job,
when I received a business card
with "Ji Kang Hee" engraved on it,
I felt proud because it seemed
like I had reached second base.
What I mean is,
I've also lived diligently.
I know, I am the witness.
I've seen Ms. Kang Hee working part-time
and work passionately as a designer.
But seeing my childhood friends today,
why I felt like I was the only loser?
Everyone seems to be living well here
without any problems.
I couldn't bear it and ran away.
It wasn't running away, it was a challenge.
Maybe all the friends
are envious too, right?
Otel Hana.
Renovate it magnificently, for all to see.
"I wasn't wrong."
"I am also living well and working hard."
I want to prove that.
Yes.
I'll let you do whatever you want to do.
We'll have a splendid opening
ceremony on Christmas
and have a grand plaque unveiling as well.
Just call all the people from Hana-eup
and show them properly.
Ji Kang Hee, you've lived well!
You've lived well!
Ji Kang Hee, you've lived well!
Nice!
Yes, this is Hana Veterinary Clinic…
Yes, sir.
Yes.
What should I do?
The director isn't here right now.
I'm not in charge of large animals,
and I haven't done any field
visits for treatment either.
Yes, I understand.
What's the matter? Where are you going?
A veterinary emergency.
What about Cheon Yeon Soo?
He went to consult too. I left a message,
but got no reply. It's an emergency, so…
Get off.
I'll drive.
Let's take my car.
Yes.
[Hana Veterinary Clinic]
Stay calm.
You can do it.
Ms. Yoon, you're the one whom
Cheon Yeon Soo trusted and selected.
You can do it!
When the director isn't here,
I am his stand-in.
Let's go.
What about Yeon Soo?
Didn't Yeon Soo come?
Where is the cow?
It's gas bloating.
I'll insert a gastric tube to relieve it.
- Please open its mouth.
- Ah, yes.
It's not going in well because it's
blocked near the throat.
Just a moment.
Chil Ddaeng, this for you.
It'll make you feel better.
Even if it hurts, please
bear with it a little.
- We need to puncture the stomach.
- What?
We'll make an incision and insert a trocar
into the stomach to remove the gas.
We need to shave the hair and disinfect.
Han Woo, please help me.
No, absolutely not.
Excuse me, doctor.
- Have you performed surgery before?
- Han Woo,
we have to save Chil Ddaeng, it's urgent.
Kang Hee, my father…
These guys! My poor cow! It's my cow!
My cow!
Even if it hurts, please
bear with it a little.
Hang in there. You're doing well.
- My poor cow.
- Mister.
They are killing my cow!
Just listen to the cow's cries!
They are killing my Chil Ddaeng, right now!
Chil Ddaeng, just hold on a little!
You need to hold on tight.
I'm going to insert the trocar now.
- Sir.
- I'm inserting it.
- Quickly!
- One, two,
three.
Chil Ddaeng!
Director, I did it.
Chil Ddaeng is okay now.
I did it.
Good job!
It must have been scary handling a large animal
for the first time, but you managed to do it.
Congratulations on successfully
completing your first surgery!
Thank you so much for saving Chil Ddaeng.
You worked hard.
[Hana-eup Hanwoo Beef Festival]
No way!
Where on earth have I
been leaving my brain…
Vehicle traffic is completely controlled.
The festival venue is here
because the judging venue is here.
Blocking off all vehicles. Is it like
a World Cup street cheering event?
Ah, yes.
The countryside folks
must be excited for it.
[Finishing: smoothing out the surface of the floor]
The day of concrete finish is the first festival day.
The mixer truck can't get in.
How many days will the festival last?
Four days.
Then let's just postpone our work.
Since it's the Hanwoo Beef Festival, let's
enjoy the beef to our heart's content.
The weather is getting colder,
so the concrete curing time gets longer.
If the finishing is delayed, the opening might
be delayed by ten days or even half a month.
Is that all?
The contracts for the teams here are ending…
What are you going to do after they end?
With money?
Do you like it here that much, manager?
I want to finish quickly and go back
to Seoul as soon as possible.
Do you like Seoul that much?
Tsk!
Or, how about asking Mr. Chun Pil for help?
He is on the festival
preparation committee.
He would know what to do.
It's been taken care of.
Do you know Mr. Chun Pil?
Forget about Mr. Chun Pil.
Bring me the list of the festival
preparation committee members.
Oh, all right.
Hey, Ah Reum.
- Yes?
- What's going on?
Because of the Hanwoo Beef Festival,
they say we need to lift the traffic
control because of a mixer truck.
There's no way, really.
What if we move the judging venue?
Ah, would that be easy?
Still, it's Kang Hee's work,
we should do something.
[Hana-eup Community Center]
Well, we do this every year, so it's fine.
Tourists will come from far away
to enjoy some delicious beef.
But imagine how surprised they would be
if they made eye contact with a real cow?
Well, there have been
some complaints before.
Exactly, this is the chance to
move the judging venue,
as I've been suggesting.
Those in favor, please
raise your hand. Hands.
I'll go offer free house call services
for the entire month!
- What?
- A month?
Including nutrient supplement services!
Everyone's good with that, right? Yes?
[Consent Form for the Relocation of
Hanwoo Beef Festival Judging Venue]
They're moving the judging venue?
Yes, it's too close to the festival booths,
and it seems dangerous.
If the vet says so, then, well…
Thank you, sir.
I'll be right back. I'm
going to the restroom.
Goodbye.
Kang Hee.
You… Be good to your dad.
Your dad isn't someone who would run a motel
in the countryside and live a measly life.
Living like this, in such a state,
if you come down to it,
it's all because of you.
If she hadn't gotten pregnant…
Shut up, you're drunk!
Right? Am I wrong?
After rejecting the mayor's daughter,
the county governor's daughter,
he ended up involved with some girl
of unknown background.
Look at that, that! Look at those eyes!
Kids, just go. Hurry up and go.
- Kang Hee, let's go.
- Ah, let me go.
Chun Pil's mother also passed
away because of that.
She died mad with anger.
Ji Kang Hee even drove her
own grandmother insane!
You're saying all sorts
of things to the kid.
What? Am I wrong?
No, stop it. Just stop!
Where did this…
What is this?
Goodness, what is it?
Hey, you, Ji Kang Hee!
Aren't you going to open the door?
Come here, you rascal!
Sticking out your tongue? I'm going to…
Come here! Goodbye?
Hey, Kang Hee!
I need to poop!
Sir.
You know about the festival, right?
- Yes.
- Then,
did you know that the traffic
is also being controlled up ahead?
Our cows in Hana-eup
are of very good breed.
These cows need to travel safely.
But we need a concrete mixer
truck to come in that day.
You don't need to report everything to me.
How about
we solve our own things ourselves?
- Excuse me?
- I'm now
doing well with the festival work.
And you are fully committed
to the construction.
So, Ms. Kang Hee…
Do you realize how hard
she is trying to meet
the opening date?
Yes.
He only knows one thing, not the other.
It seems like he doesn't
know anything at all.
Hey, are you Ji Kang Hee?
Hello.
Good to see you.
First, just apologize.
When I think about how I suffered being
locked in the warehouse because of you,
it angers me to the point
where I wake up abruptly while sleeping.
Oh dear, why did I do that?
You were always disrespectful
since you were young.
Talking back to elders
and always getting into trouble.
Ah, sir, that's enough.
It's all in the past.
Past? Look at this.
What about the trauma?
Compensate me.
Didn't you get a wealthy boyfriend?
Not my boyfriend, but my company's manager.
Whatever.
You have to compensate first, if you want
to do construct in this neighborhood.
Go and try to persuade him well.
Sir, please think it over.
I will apologize, alright?
Am I supposed to kneel down?
Oh, right, that sounds good.
Try kneeling. Let's see.
It seems too precious to be seen alone.
Then, how about this?
If you gather all the festival
preparation committee members,
I will go to that place and kneel
down and apologize right away.
Do both that and separately.
Hurry and kneel down!
If you contact them first…
Kneel down quickly! Don't try to resist.
Stop it, sir.
If you do that, whether it's an apology
or compensation, it should be done by you.
Don't you remember what you
said to Kang Hee back then?
What did I do?
Come.
You…
Oh, you guys, really!
Kang Hee.
What are you doing? I'm working right now.
You don't have to do this.
I'll collect all the consent forms.
- You…
- Why?
Why are you helping me? By what right?
I've survived in Seoul for 10 years
starting from the bottom.
I've been through all kinds of tough times,
and there were people worse than that.
Sorry. I'm sorry, Kang Hee.
Do you have anything to do with me?
You should have just
ignored it, just walked on by.
I know everything.
How can I pretend not to know?
How could I just stay silent?
I hate it! That's why I hate it.
Because you know all about my dark past
and my wounds. That's why…
it hurts to see you.
Why did we have to meet like this?
I didn't want to show you this side of me.
Oh, manager.
It's all taken care of, right?
There are people here.
What about the wire mesh work?
[Wire Mesh: Strengthen structures by a metal
mesh] We're on it, trust the person in charge.
What about the manager?
He left a while ago, for a phone call?
It's been resolved.
- What?
- Traffic control.
They said it's been lifted.
Really?
Ah, this turned out well.
As expected from Manager Geum.
How?
Well… I happen to be quite persuasive.
And I tend to be particularly likable, too.
There's no way
they would have agreed so easily.
Countryside folks aren't so easily swayed.
- Especially the people of Hana-eup…
- There's always a way.
I even contributed to the
festival development fund
and agreed to sponsor the after-party.
Besides,
I decided to receive a little help
from Ms. Kang Hee's friends.
What friends?
You know, friends.
So who is it?
Gangsters?
You said you'd help first,
even though I didn't ask for it.
Gosh. They're suddenly changing
the traffic control section?
This is going to be an
enormous amount of work.
Hey, but I'm…
I'm proud to have a friend who cooperates,
a true support for the people.
Are you being sarcastic?
I won't do it. I won't!
No, our people's support…
Is also handsome.
And cool.
Where should I start?
[Traffic Control Information]
[Traffic Control Section Change Notice]
Quickly! Quickly!
[Announcement]
[Traffic Control Section Change Notice]
There, spray on that side too.
Push it a bit more this way.
No, that way.
Are you upset?
Yes.
I'm sorry, Ms. Kang Hee.
No, it's not at you. I am angry at myself.
They're my friends.
They're the friends who truly wish
for my success more than anyone.
Friends who would help
gladly whenever asked.
All I need to do is receive help
and thank them.
But I couldn't do even that.
Because my feelings were twisted.
If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't be
able to start, and I would be a total loser.
Thank you, Manager Geum.
Are you serious?
Of course, it's genuine.
Then let's go to the after-party together,
to eat beef, at the Hanwoo Beef Festival.
Sure.
I don't do this for just anyone.
Alright, here we go.
Thank you! Thank you!
Thanks to you, the construction
went well today. Thank you.
Oh my, don't just settle for this.
Show me the cash envelope.
Goodness, you!
Should I take care of
it myself as expected?
Goodness! He gave ten million won
for the festival fund. Stop pushing!
But the people of our village…
Would it be too much to have a tour
for the festival in the next town?
Ah, that…
I'll discuss it with Ms. Kang Hee.
Enjoy your meal.
Wait! I just need a definite answer.
Hey, Kang Hee! Ji Kang Hee!
Go on. Go, quickly.
- Hello.
- Have you been well?
Hello.
Oh, Yeon Soo. Come here.
Welcome, veterinarian couple.
- Hello.
- Oh, our Su Ji.
You don't know how much we adore Ms. Yoon.
Aww! She's pretty, kind and diligent.
Gosh! You're lovely!
It's because you treat me so well.
She also speaks so nicely.
It's a match made in heaven!
Manager Geum, our Yeon Soo is lucky, right?
Ah, yes, the two are a good match.
Cheon Yeon Soo.
Congratulations.
Congratulations, ma'am.
Oh, right, thank you.
Congratulations to you, too.
I wondered what kind of person you'd
become. But you've succeeded, right?
You've got good skills too.
Absolutely no returns on this one.
No, no. Well, we…
We'll leave.
Alright, goodbye.
Ms. Kang Hee.
It seems that people might have
some misunderstandings.
I'm sorry.
Just until the construction is over,
I'll use you just one more time.
I don't want to.
This time, I have conditions too.
Seung Eon, today is the
Hanwoo Beef Festival.
Do you want to go together…
not together, though?
Hey, Cha Seung Eon.
You've got nothing to do today, right?
Do you…
No, why does this keep…
No, let's think this over.
Ah Reum!
Wait a minute, I'll go.
Stay there.
Are you off work?
Yeah.
Were you on your way somewhere?
- Yeah.
- Where?
I don't know.
Do you have a moment?
Yeah, why?
Han… Hanwoo…
It's the Hanwoo Beef Festival.
Do you want to go together?
Just the two of us?
If we go, all the kids
will probably be there.
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go.
Boss.
Boss?
Yes?
It's time for you to go.
Kang Hee,
can we talk for a minute?
I'm all done though.
I have nothing to say.
Then, just listen. Actually, Ms.
Yoon and I…
Impressive, isn't it?
You too, me too.
We received congratulations from people.
The adults in Hana-eup
knew how to give blessings too.
I'm at a loss of words.
Even to people like us.
They pretend to worry,
pretend to do favors.
While they were harsh and cruel before.
Why do you remember such things?
Just erase it.
Forget it and live.
- But that's not what's important…
- Exactly.
I should have.
But I'm trying to do so now.
Because there's no need
to hear such things anymore.
Ms. Kang Hee!
Did you drink?
Ah, yes.
His mother kept offering it to me.
I ran away under the
excuse of looking for him.
Director, please go find
your mother. I will be with unnie…
I can call you "unnie", right?
[♪unnie means older sister]
On the day of Chil Ddaeng surgery,
if it weren't for you, it would have
been really tough for me.
Thank you, unnie.
Let's go. I'll buy you something delicious.
Ah, next time…
I have company.
Really?
Then, next time, for sure!
You got it? Right?
Right?
Ms. Yoon, please stop it.
Next time, for sure!
She's pretty,
kind and diligent.
It's because you treat me so well.
She also speaks so nicely.
It's a match made in heaven!
It must be nice, Cheon Yeon Soo.
Well…
The thing about us working together,
I think we might have to put it on hold.
Why? Because the rumor
has spread all over town?
I don't want to.
Thanks to that, I don't get nagged at home,
nor am I told to go for dates.
I am saying I like things
the way they are now.
Can't we just date for the time being?
That won't work.
Why not?
I have someone I like.
Right now, I'm waiting for that person.
Exactly.
If you also have someone you like,
you don't need to do on dates unwillingly.
Let's just date until that person
comes, just for the time being.
After all, the rumor has already spread.
What's the difference
between clarifying it now or later?
What will you do if the rumor
becomes too much to handle?
Then,
let's just go out, whatever.
What?
Ah, I'm just kidding.
I really want to see who is
the person you like so much.
Just to see her face once.
[Mom]
[Mom]
He must be somewhere around here.
- Ah, he's not answering.
- Hey!
Your husband is over there.
Hey! Hey!
What are you doing?
Oh, what's wrong?
Trying to seduce my husband?
Me? What are you talking about?
These people, really…
Hey, get up!
Hey, what have I done for you to…
Dae Sik!
Dae Sik!
What did you say? In front of her?
The whole neighborhood is watching.
Hey, Dae Sik!
Hey, calm down.
You know me, right? Dae Sik!
Have a drink with me.
It's okay. It's okay.
Mom, what's going on?
Kang Hee, please call Dad.
Please call Dad.
I understand. I know.
- Mom!
- Have a drink with me.
I just took one love shot.
Sir, what's wrong? What's the matter?
- What is it?
- Min Goo, no, it's not…
Min Goo, I'll take care of everything.
Alright.
We will handle the cleanup,
so please go about your business.
Oh, what a lovely day.
Just keep doing what you were doing.
Everything is okay.
Look, the hero arrives.
Well… what should I have done, then?
Whenever Ms. Su Ji
is mentioned, both then and now,
you just…
Isn't it pitiful?
Then what about me?
What about Mom?
What about my brother who died?
Ah, it's annoying.
I've gotten too old to loathe freely.
My hair has completely turned white
and I have many wrinkles.
No, what would you do if you get hurt?
Why on earth are you doing this?
I really can't get it.
Just for you.
Who?
Who was it?
Who said to give it to me?
Who else could it be?
Cheon Yeon Soo!
Kkam Hee.
What? Were you alone?
No, it's someone else's room.
Why are you crying?
You have no food?
Teddy bear.
I have just one favor to ask.
Sell the teddy bear and take care
of Charlie after she gives birth.
And if there's money left,
please feed the kittens too.
Cheon Yeon Soo, you clueless teddy bear.
Why do you keep doing this to me?
Cheon Yeon Soo!
Why did you help me?
Answer me!
Do you like me?
That's all I can do,
because that's all there is.
I can't even wipe away your tears.
As someone who's rejected by his
first love, I can't hold you back either.
That's all I can do for you one last time,
because that's all there is.
I can't even do that?
You hate it?
One last time?
Who says it's the last time?
Who said you could change
the ending as you please?
I know, the beginning
and the end are always up to you.
But I need some time.
Time? What time?
Time to forget you.
So, don't worry.
Don't feel burdened, and don't get angry.
Just give me some time.
[Motel California]
