[English]

What's with your face?

Let's go eat.

See you!

Are you insane?

You shouldn't have gone after him alone.

You came.

Hey, bookworm. What are you doing here?

I mean, you...

You're so warm-hearted.

Your eyes, how you behave, how you speak,

and your face.

It feels awfully strange.

What is what? I'm thirsty. Give me some water.

Delivery!

Don't mess with Soo Ho.

I will be back soon.

Go ahead and eat.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Poor Soo Ho...

Poor Soo Ho.

It was him, wasn't it?

What do you mean?

Was it him?

You shouldn't be sorry to me.

What do you want?

Shi Eun!

I'm sorry.

For what?

Just everything.
