She's getting married.

- She's moving overseas soon.

- What?

You know "street smart"

is my middle name, right?

I'm telling you, she's gone.

Just forget about her.

Okay?

- Excuse me.

- Yes.

Drink up.

Their rice wine is amazing.

- Can we get a tofu plate, please?

- Sure.

- What was her reason?

- She just doesn't like you.

- But shouldn't I at least meet her?

- You idiot.

I told you she wasn't good

from the very start.

Come on.

Let's find you

a better woman, okay?

You've been looking in

the wrong places.

Let's look for one now.

There's plenty of good women.

Look around you.

So many beautiful...

We'll look somewhere else.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

What's going on today?

He's gonna think

I'm pathetic.

What's taking her so long?

Oh!

I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

- Sorry.

They stole a cop's wallet?

Crap.

Where are you?

At home.

Where else?

- Oh, right! Drinks!

- Get over here, right now.

But I can't exactly

go out right now.

It's just that

something came up.

(Hang up the phone.)

Yeah.

You're going out, eh?

I'm so sorry, Ae-yeon.

The in-laws suddenly came over.

I'm coming, Mother!

Enjoy your passionate night

with the in-laws.

Thank you.

What's taking him so long?

Hello?

Are you taking a number two?

- Hey, something just came up.

- You left?

- How could you just leave?

- It's not like that.

I don't have any money!

- I left my wallet at home!

- Then put it on a tab.

- Are you kidding me? Get over here!

- Talk up a girl into paying for you!

- I have to go.

- What? Hello?

That bastard...

Goddamn it.

What do I do?

One...

One fifty...

I can't believe this.

What should I do?

- Yes, hello.

- Hi...

What do I do...

What do I do?

- Bok-nam, that bastard.

- Think, Ae-yeon. Think.

Use your head.

Screw it.

Hello.

- We meet again.

- Right.

- Is this seat taken?

- Go ahead.

Sorry to bother you.

- You're here by yourself...

- Oh, no.

- My friend suddenly couldn't make it.

- Oh.

I see.

- Would you like a drink?

- Yes. Thank you.

Stop right there.

Boink!

- Cheers.

- Right.

Yes...

So...

You look much better

out of uniform.

Not that you look bad

in uniform or anything.

You're very pretty in uniform

and in regular clothes.

That's what I meant to say.

- The thing is...

- Yes?

- Something's come up at home.

- Oh.

- Why don't we call it a night?

- Shall we?

- Yes.

- Sure.

Should I combine your bills?

Yes, please.

That'll be seventy-three dollars.

Who will be paying?

- She will.

- He will.

Excuse us.

Hey...

I never do this.

I swear.

But couldn't I treat you

next time?

You can treat me now.

Now?

The truth is...

I didn't bring my wallet.

I'm really sorry.

What?

But I lost my wallet.

What?

What is this?

He'll be back tomorrow for it

with the money, right?

Yes, of course.

I'm so sorry.

- I'll be back for it tomorrow.

- Is this real?

Hey!

You think it's some kind of

two, three dollar cubic?

My mother gave me that.

- I'm a cop. You don't trust cops?

- That's right.

- She's really a cop.

- All right. Fine.

Hey...

I'm really sorry.

No, I'm sorry too.

Which way is your house?

- I'm over by Yeonsinnae.

- Oh, that's pretty far.

So...

How should I get you back

that ring?

Should we meet here tomorrow?

- Or should I wire the money?

- No, that's...

Then...

Let's meet here around

this time tomorrow.

- Good night, then.

- Okay.

Excuse me.

Yes?

- My goodness! Are you okay?

- Aw, crap.

It's so cold.

- Are you all right?

- Yes...

I'm fine.

Gosh, it's cold.

- You didn't have to do that.

- No, it's okay.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

Gosh...

Are you okay?

I don't think

I'm okay.

Hey!

Excuse me!

Sheesh.

Would you like to wash up

at my place?

Huh?

You're soaking wet.

And you don't have

any cab fare.

You said

you lost your wallet.

So she left you with

just a text message...

- And you've been looking for her since?

- Yes.

And you even got a loan

to buy a house in this economy,

when everyone's dying to sell?

That's right.

Real estate prices keep

dropping now.

I was out of my mind.

I didn't know there were still

nice guys like you, Mister.

Mister?

I'm not that old...

What do you do?

I have a small teashop.

Herbal teas and such.

- I love herbal teas.

- Oh.

- What kind of tea?

- I like lemongrass.

- I love the aroma.

- I see.

You know your teas.

I drink lots of tea because

I don't like coffee.

- You don't like coffee?

- No.

Neither do I.

That's why we don't

sell coffee at our shop.

- Really?

- Yes.

- You're left-handed?

- Yes.

Supposedly, I was a very

stubborn child.

My mother kept telling me to

use my right hand,

but I always used my left.

Being left-handed doesn't

mean you're stubborn.

I'm left-handed too.

- You are?

- Yes.

I see.

- What's in that big bag of yours?

- Oh, this?

- I have to dry clean my uniform.

- Oh.

- Isn't it heavy? Put it on here.

- No, no.

It's not heavy.

It's comfortable this way.

I see.

Sorry.

What's your name, Mister?

Oh.

I'm KIM Yoo-seok.

And don't call me "Mister".

- You're not gonna ask me my name?

- Oh! What's your name?

I'm CHOI Ae-yeon.

Officer CHOI.

I see.

Nice to meet you.

Come in.

Wow!

A vegetable garden!

Lettuce.

Chili peppers.

Chicory.

And cherry tomatoes!

That soil,

it's really good organic fertilizer

from worm compost.

I see.

- Come on in.

- Right.

I was in such a hurry,

I forgot the lights.

It's a bit of a mess.

I'm not done organizing.

No, it's really nice.

Wow.

Huh?

You take pictures, too?

- I majored in photography originally.

- Oh.

- Where was this?

- That's Africa.

I used to go there every year

to take pictures.

But with the cafe,

I haven't been for a few years.

Wow.

So this is her?

- The woman who let luck get away?

- Yes...

The floor is pretty cold.

I'll get you some slippers.

Slippers...

You sure are lucky.

They're not here.

Maybe inside the room...

- Here they are.

- Right.

- Here.

- Thank you.

- Put them on.

- I'll do it.

Thank you.

Your clothes...

Something in here

should fit you.

You may as well

just change.

- Sorry for all the trouble.

- Don't mention it.

- What are all these boxes?

- Those are Na-ri's...

She said she'd send someone

for her things.

A woman that ran away

won't come back for this.

Just sell what you can

and throw away the rest.

Those cheating a**holes don't care

about the ones they hurt, so...

- I'm sorry. That was out of line.

- It's okay. You're right.

She's getting married to

another man.

I'm a fool, aren't I?

You know...

You're pretty cute, Mister.

I keep telling you

I'm not that old.

You should wash up.

I'll turn on the

hot water for you.

- Get changed.

- Okay.

Yes?

There's no need to hurry.

Take your time.

Okay.

- Would you like some lemongrass tea?

- Later...

- After I take a shower.

- Sure.

Who is it?

Na-ri...

How have you been?

You haven't changed a bit.

Can I come in?

I just need to get something.
