Sub by ®iQIYI Backstreet Rookie - SBS

Saet-byul,

I would like to be

someone special to you, too.

Will you accept my red tulips?

Mr. Choi,

I'll answer that

later.

I'm not dreaming to become someone as great as you are,

but I want to achieve something on my own, too.

I'll answer you when I pass the GED.

Sure. You've waited for me all along,

so I'll wait for you this time.

Saet-byul, don't you ever feel like you've achieved nothing.

You're responsible, loyal, a great fighter...

And you're diligent.

That's why the head office

is naming you as the assistant manager of the store.

Saet-byul, you are already enough.

You're awesome.

Thank you, Mr. Choi.

It's nothing.

How did you prepare all of this?

It's beautiful here.

Did you prepare wine or anything?

What wine?

People usually drink wine when they come to places like this.

-What wine? -Maybe I've watched too many dramas.

You mean something like this?

Is this what you want?

You drink. I'll go and plant the tulips.

You lost.

-I lost again. -Freshen up!

Give it to me.

Welcome.

Yong-pil.

Jang-mi, how did you get here?

I thought of how you said that you run a convenience store in Shinseong-dong.

I also have to ask you a favor before I go to China tomorrow.

What favor?

Don't you think it'd be possible to find Boon-hee

if you look into Busan alumni associations?

Boon-hee again? You have to forget about her.

How can I?

Boon-hee is the person I missed the most

ever since leaving Korea.

Jang-mi, I really don't know what Boon-hee is doing.

I haven't seen Gong Boon-hee for 40 years!

Dad!

Why are you saying that you don't know...

You're here.

Is that your son, Yong-pil?

He's handsome.

Hello.

How do you know my dad?

We were friends in high school. My name is Hong Jang-mi.

Hello.

Jang-mi, I love you.

Look at the time.

Jang-mi, come here.

I need to talk to my son about something very important.

Is that so?

Yes. I'll call you right away if I ever hear from Boon-hee,

so just wait for my call in China, all right?

-I think I should stay until I meet... -Go.

Go! You can go now. Bye.

-Go. -Fine.

Gosh.

Dad! I know she's your first love,

but how could you say that you don't know Mom?

It's all a misunderstanding. It's a long story.

Dad, no story can ever justify that. Ever!

Jang-mi used to be best friends with Boon-hee,

but Boon-hee doesn't want to see her!

Why? Why wouldn't Mom want to see her?

Look.

I'm Boon-hee's first love,

BOON-HEE

FIRST LOVE, ME

while Jang-mi was mine.

FIRST LOVE, JANG-MI

Boon-hee and Jang-mi were friends.

BEST FRIENDS

If you were Mom, would you want to see Jang-mi?

JANG-MI, BOON-HEE

My goodness.

My best friend disappeared

without leaving a single letter.

You must miss her.

As if. That wench. I already erased her from my head.

Is that the best friend who left

without leaving a single note for Mrs. Gong?

Saet-byul, how do you know about her?

Mrs. Gong told me about her

and how she never wants to see her again.

See? I told you!

Don't you ever tell Mom that Jang-mi is in Korea, okay?

Dad!

Take over my shift. My back hurts.

No, you can watch the store the whole night.

Let's go, Saet-byul.

Mr. Choi, I think...

I think you should tell her...

Why is everyone always on Boon-hee's side?

What did I ever do wrong?

-Mom. -We're home.

Hey.

Why are you two coming together? What about the store?

Dad is going to watch it overnight.

He has been avoiding me lately. Did he do something wrong?

No, nothing. What are you up to?

I heard that taking a foot bath is

the best thing to do to get foot-swelling go away.

You could just buy a foot bath machine.

A foot bath machine? We're still paying the installments for Dad's massage chair!

Foot baths easily cost 200,000 won. We can't afford one.

Actually, I think what you've got is quite decent. It even massages.

Massage? It doesn't.

Of course it does, Mom.

See? Give me your foot. Like this.

I'll massage your shoulders.

-What? -You're so tense up here.

What a luxurious day I'm having today.

Is this my lucky day or something?

I couldn't decide on what to get you with my first pay as an advisor,

but now I know. I'll get you a foot bath.

-Really? -Yes. Some shoes as well.

No, you can't buy me shoes.

I might run away if you do.

I'll buy you shoes when I get my first pay as the assistant manager.

What? You're going to be an assistant manager?

I've handed the ownership of the store to the headquarters.

They offered to promote Saet-byul as the assistant manager.

Really? That happened?

That's amazing! That's great news.

Congratulations, Saet-byul.

-Thank you. -That's awesome.

Goodness.

What a great man Mr. Choi is.

He's a perfect son.

And a perfect man.

I would like to be

someone special to you, too.

Will you accept my red tulips?

I've been dreaming about that moment forever.

Why couldn't I answer him right away?

I took

slow steps toward Mr. Choi, one step at a time,

and I've reached my goal now.

So, why?

Why do I feel as scared about this as I am happy about it?

Aren't you hungry? I'm going to have some ramyeon.

-Gosh, you startled me. -Saet-byul.

I'll make you some good ramyeon.

Why are you two coming out from there at the same time?

-I'm getting some water. -I'm going to the bathroom.

I see.

WHEN MOM HEADS BACK TO HER ROOM,

I'LL MAKE YOU SOME DELICIOUS RAMYEON WITH AN EGG ON TOP.

GREAT. MAKE SURE TO POP THE YOLK.

POP THE YOLK? IT'S SO MUCH BETTER WHEN IT'S NOT POPPED.

What are you two doing?

MAKE THE NOODLES CHEWY.

-Are you two dancing? -Yes.

-We're dancing. -Yes.

Look at that. You got the beautiful dance lines from me.

Saet-byul, when I was young, I was quite the dancer.

Dance, Saet-byul!

I'm a great dancer myself.

Look at that.

Mrs. Gong, aren't you going to sleep?

I'm feeling perfectly rejuvenated

after that shoulder massage you gave me!

But you have work early morning tomorrow.

You should sleep.

Why? Are you two going to do something after I sleep?

-We're going to sleep. -We have to sleep, too.

-Of course you have to. -Yes, we do.

You should go sleep. I'm going to watch some more TV.

What? Okay, I'm going to bed now.

-Goodnight! -Goodnight.

Goodnight! And come out if you get bored.

Hold up.

We need to come up with signs.

"Signs"?

What signs?

Just to be safe.

What's your favorite fruit?

Grapes!

GRAPES

Okay, then. From now on, "Grapes" mean "Let's meet."

What?

And "Strawberry" means "No." Is that okay?

STRAWBERRY

What a kid you are.

These are our signs, okay?

Strawberry!

I'm going to go to sleep now.

Goodnight. Grapes tomorrow.

Grapes.
