Yoon- jae answers a call from Joon- hee and says no, he’s not going to the reunion dinner. He hasn’t gone to one before, so why start now? He’s already a judge, which seems fast, but I won’t argue. A sunbae introduces him to another, the only purpose of which is to catch us up on Tae- woong too, who is famous for having sold his mega- billions company in favor teaching. They laugh that if he hadn’t, Yoon- jae wouldn’t have to work at all. He heads down to the garage. Is that Tae- woong’s old (S)onata? He climbs in through the passenger seat (the only door that works), and curses the old beater, narrating that the only thing Hyung gave him was his apartment, “and this Onata.”So the life of a judge, not so glamorous. He also makes a call to someone, asking to eat at home tonight. But in the past year, he decided to donate his wealth and start teaching again, at a university. Hak- chan apparently didn’t return in a year as planned, and is studying movies in Hawaii.

Though from what we see, he’s pretty much the same—glued to his computer screen, watching porn. Sung- jae revs up the motor? He’s working in the countryside, in a public works office. And Yoo- jung is a kindergarten teacher. Joon- hee is a first- year medical intern, and then Yoon- jae sighs as he narrates that the last one. They sit awkwardly at a table, and it sort of feels like Shi- won’s a cop and Yoon- jae’s being grilled for his crimes. She asks what he’s doing around here and notes the lack of his Busan accent, and he asks if she hasn’t fixed hers yet. Shi- won: “Yeah I’m loyal that way.” Ooooh, them’s fightin’ words. I love her sass. Then she looks him right in the eye and asks, “Do you have a girlfriend?” Pfft, no pleasantries before the interrogation? She just sits back with a calm smile as he says he does, and they haven’t been dating very long. She nods and takes it in, and then picks up her phone. Hey, does Yoon- jae have a girlfriend?” HAHAHA. Omg, she’s such a gangster. Suddenly Yoon- jae’s sweating bullets and fidgeting. Did you make up a girlfriend? She just keeps talking, “Uh- huh. Uh- huh,” all while watching Yoon- jae squirm. She hangs up, and he busts out, “Friends! You know, like guy friend, girl friend? He’s stumped speechless. As they sit like that, he narrates that he doesn’t go to reunions because of her, goes down a day early for Parents’ Day, and every Chuseok and New Year’s he comes up with some crazy new illness, every year for the last six years? Sung Shi- won, you awful girl. To ’9. 6 and the first day of high school. I have been reset to ’9. Yoon Yoon- jae. Love it. He freaks out as he dissects the whole encounter back home with Joon- hee (Yay, they’re still roomies?) and asks how she could’ve thought to call him in that moment. I have a poker face!”Joon- hee continues to ignore the rant. He then blames Joon- hee for not being faster on the uptake—couldn’t he read the situation and have answered better? Joon- hee finally snaps at him that he did answer yes. He totally corroborated Yoon- jae’s story, to a tee. Pfffft. So he outed his own lie, with his face? He decides he should just die, and throws a tantrum instead. Shi- won chuckles to herself at home, and then gets a call. Yoon- jae comes out of the shower to find Joon- hee fully dressed in a black suit. He tells Yoon- jae to hurry and get dressed, “Yoo- jung’s father passed away.”Pretty late into the evening, the funeral hall has mostly cleared out, and Sung- jae tends to everything, sweetly covering Yoo- jung with a blanket. You’re such a good friend. He brings her a tray of food and tells her gather her strength. There’s two more days of this left to go. Yoo- jung turns around. Oof, that smile of hers when she sees all her friends show up just turns me into a puddle. Shi- won just holds her hand without a word. Sung- jae says it’s been a really long time since they’ve seen Shi- won and Yoon- jae together, and they throw awkward looks. He figures at least they all saw each other this way, and says all they need is Hak- chan, though he doesn’t know he got the text message all the way in Hawaii. That gets him a big glower from everyone, and Yoo- jung has to remind them she’s fine and they broke up forever ago. Sung- jae snipes at Yoon- jae for being a traitor with his Seoul accent, and Yoo- jung wonders if Shi- won will ever try to change hers, and she sighs that she had no chance to, and we get a quick flashback to her college friends who all had accents too. Heh. Yoo- jung tells them to hurry home to their parents before it gets too late, and when Shi- won protests, she says tearfully, “Be good to them while they’re here, and don’t have regrets like I do.”She says when she moved up to Seoul to start teaching, she didn’t come down for a whole year, and always got so annoyed at their phone calls, hanging up as quickly as she could. Yoo- jung: “I didn’t even know my own father was sick. How badly must he have wanted to know—if I was eating, if I wasn’t sick, if the other teachers were good to me. She says through tears that even on his last day, her father told her to hurry back to work, that he was fine, because he didn’t want her to get fired because of him. The threesome stand outside in the street. Yoon- jae admits to being a little jealous of Yoo- jung, for even having memories of fights with her dad to regret. He doesn’t have any memories, just the fact that he misses them. Sung- jae pulls up and offers Joon- hee a ride on his way. Joon- hee leaves them alone and tells them to settle anything they need to now, and stop fighting. He goes back to his hometown accent, “You guys are friends, aren’t you?”Yoon- jae puts a cigarette in his mouth and Shi- won gapes. He’s like, “What, did you think I was still in high school?” But she yanks it out and steals the pack. They play keep- away and then Mom and Dad pull up to pick them up. Aw it’s like they’re kids again. Shi- won asks if Dad got a new car, and he says that Yoon- jae bought it for them with his first salary, choosing to pointedly call her “Daughter, Daughter, Dog Daughter.” (Seriously, do you and my dad share a brain?)She snaps at him for smelling of liquor when he’s a cancer patient, and he reminds her that he’s fully recovered and swears he just had one drink because they won today’s game. But when he complains of the cold, she gives him her jacket, which awww. I love how Dad’s tone totally softens with Yoon- jae, as he asks about work. Shi- won mutters under her breath out how smoothly he’s suddenly back to his old accent around the parents. Her phone rings, which she says is probably Joon- hee calling to see if they caught a cab, and she asks Dad to hand her the phone in her jacket pocket. Noes. He grabs her by the hair and FLIPS his lid, swearing up and down and shaking her as she screams. And the even more hilarious part is, Yoon- jae just sits there, frozen in fear, and says nothing. LOL. Dad’s screaming that he’s gonna cut off all her hair again, and Shi- won swears that it’s not hers, and rats Yoon- jae out. She turns to him, all Why aren’t you saying anything? He’s so scared that it comes out like a stutter, “I- i- it’s mine!” Shi- won gives him the side- eye and he nods at her. Dad’s like, YOU THINK YOU CAN FOOL ME? Hee. This just gets better and better. Then he grabs the both of them by the hair and knocks them around, screaming and ranting all over again. Among the things he yells: “Oh good, it’s a funeral home! Let’s go hold a joint funeral for the both of you tonight!”Finally Mom comes back from the bathroom, and Dad cries and hugs her as he delivers the news like the world just ended. Dad continues the hair- pulling screamfest all the way home. Back to daily life. Sung- jae returns to his job in the public works office, which is mostly a collection of random errands and grunt manual labor—a thankless job to be sure. Shi- won calls Tae- woong to thank him for his help in writing up quiz questions for a side writing job she picked up. He asks her to make him ramyun as a thank you, and shows up at her door. She tells him he should be so cavalier about showing up to a girl’s apartment so late at night, “What will the security ajusshi think? Are you going to take responsibility for me?”Tae- woong, “Of course I will! That’s my wish in life!” As soon as I think, that’s gonna get you a beating, Shi- won attacks his back, “I! That!” Hehe. She tsk- tsks that he used to be so innocent, calling him greasy. He says it’s because of her; he has to remind her that he likes her, even jokingly like this. Aw, I hope she hasn’t strung you along for six years. He asks haltingly if he can try to win her heart for real this time. She gets quiet and doesn’t answer. Her non- answer must be familiar to him, because he smoothes over it quickly and changes the subject. Shi- won: “Oppa is like a daddy long legs to me—someone who’s always dependable, who always protects me by my side—a good person. That’s the same today as it was six years ago.” Ouch. The moment he gives her the ring on the keychain. He gives it to her so expectantly, and she says she has something to tell him. Shi- won: “Oppa, I like you a lot. I’m still young so I don’t know exactly how it feels to like somebody, but my heart now. I’m sorry, oppa.”His face falls. Tae- woong: “I’m not expecting anything right now. Until you like me a lot. Now I feel terrible for Tae- woong. How many unrequited loves must you take, Universe? Back to the present. Tae- woong asks if he’s still her daddy long legs now, and she doesn’t answer. He tells her to come back tomorrow.
