"this won't take a minute longer, i promise..." he bursts into a smile, "yah, what are you doing?!"
"I'm hungry. feed me, please."
"ramyeon isnt even proper food but it's all you have in your cupboard."
"i know that look & tone. save it for later. just feed me, pls."
"ahrasso."

“Hey, put down your phone & look at me.”

“I am looking at you. Even w/ that sour mood, you’re still cute...in photos.”

He smirks. “That won’t let you off the hook, y’know.”

She beams at him. “Sorry I was so late but y’know how my cat can get clingy like you and—

“—aigooyah.”

“Is this the best you can do? ”

“I don’t know how to take a selfie, okay? This is hard... I’m all sweaty & tired...& hungry...”

“And I’m here taking a vacation while you’re there working so hard...I’m sorry . Don’t be grumpy.”

“I’m not. I just miss you.”

“나도. ”

“Stop staring, please.”

“Why not? I like what I’m seeing.”

“Ah jinjjaaa. A bottle of soju and you’re like this? I’m disappointed.”

“You know I’m not drunk. I just remember the first time I saw you. You looked exactly like how you are tonight.”

“Like how?”

“My endgame.”

“How’s school today?”

“Crazy. I’m just thrilled you’re picking me up. You are the highlight of this long day.”

“Hmm, that feels good to hear.”

“I mean it. I’m so thankful you’re here coz I’m losing my mind.”

“That’s what I’m here for. Right?”

“Hmm?”

“To keep you sane.”

“See you later. I still want to pick you up, tho. This is a date night, not a business meeting.”

“No need. Let’s save time & energy, ok, oppa? I promise I won’t be late.”

“No rush. I’m camping out here & wait.”

“You really like movies this much.”

“No. I just really like you.”

“I sometimes wish you’d look at me the way you look at delicious food.”

“What? Eyyy...why, how do I look at them?”

“You’re smitten. Honey dripping from your eyes.”

“And I don’t look at you that way?”

“Well...I dunno”

“Liar. I can’t even properly breathe now...”

“Aigoo.”

“You’re bored, aren’t you?”

“Found your pic and I couldn’t stop laughing. You’re so weird.”

“You’re weirder, sending me your own pic like this.”

“But you’re funnier.”

“Now, you’re making fun of me.”

“Of course not! I just miss that bald head right now.”

“I miss you more.”

“Hey, no peeking I said!”

“It’s just a photo shoot. Not yet the big day.”

“But still...I’m not yet done prepping.”

“I just wanna be the first to see you before anyone else does.”

“...always the first in everything, huh?”

“Of course! As it should be. When it comes to you.”

"This is on my bucket list."

"What is?"

"You and I backpacking somewhere far where we don't speak the language. Just us two."

"And eating unfamiliar but yummy cuisine...and getting lost every mile or two?"

"I don't mind getting lost with you."

"I can go with you anywhere."

"...and what are we doing?"

"...i don't know about you but i'm trying to take an IG-worthy pic here."

"Your tea is turning cold. Let me see...ya, your face isn't even in the frame."

"It's deliberate."

"But people need to see that pretty face. I know I would."

"Ah, jinjjaaa."

"How are you still this bubbly at this hour?"

"Wae? It just feels nice to see your face before I go to bed."

"You miss me?"

"Everyday. But I'm getting used to it."

"Hmm..I don't think I want you to get used to it. I'll see you soon."

"Don't you dare lie."

"I promise."

“I bought the wrong kind, I see.”

“Uh-huh.”

“But they all look the same. How could I know? They’re all just cheeseballs in a jar.”

“That one’s tastier. And cheesier.”

“You’re not asking me to go back out there and buy that brand, right?”

“of course no—

“—I’ll go. Now.”

"Wait, how--when did you get in here?"

"The guys let me in. I think they're still in shock to see me."

"I bet. I thot you aren't flying back until tomorrow?"

"And miss your birthday?"

"Well, I didn't want to get my hopes up but..."

"...here I am."

"Here you are. Komawo."

“Hey, are we fighting? You mad?”

“No...are you?”

“No but you have been quiet thru our ride to here.”

“I’m... not mad. I’m just hurt. And I can’t even remember how we got into that silly argument in the 1st place.“

“Me too. And I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“I know.”

"I wish you were here."

"I know. But I'm happy you're getting that needed rest."

"And when are you getting yours?"

"Soon. I promise. And I want you to spend it with me."

"You're kidding, right?"

"Why? Rest will only be rest when I'm with you."

"I think I just said yes."

"Man, I swear, when I saw her dance, it was like she was moving in slow-mo...and and --"

"You were a goner."

"I--I don't wanna admit that...but yes, I supposed I was."

"! You're gushing like an ahjumma. Does she know?""

"Of course. I just told her."

"Damn, you're fast."

"Sorry, did you wait long? The traff-

"-- it's fine. I got to review my notes while waiting."

"That smile, is that for me?

"What do you think?"

"This is why I love picking you up like this whenever I can."

"And I love being with you like this."

"Always?"

"Always."

"Eyes, definitely. Yours are big & expressive. I noticed that right away."

"For me? Your smile. Pretty & blinding. I couldn't look away."

"Geojitmal."

"And I like it when you get flustered w/ me being honest."

"Prankster."

"See what I mean? You're already blushing. Aigooya."

“No aegyo will let you off the hook.”

“Jinjja? Not even this ?Oppa~”

“Stop it. Just feed me with what you just cooked.”

“But what if it’s not edible? ~ let’s just eat out.”

“Every spaghetti is edible for me.”

“Not this one.”

“Oho! Let me be the judge on that.”

“Andwaee~”

""Ah, cute...did s/he just got out of the bath?"

"Yeah. And s/he's been really well-behaved. Didn't give me a hard time at all."

"Aigoo...s/he takes after mom."

"Really cute. S/he makes my heart melt."

"She does. Jinjja yeppeuda."

"Right??"

"You, I mean. You're so pretty."

"You know I wanted to take you to this new Michelin resto for our anniversary but you really chose this place."

"Because this place is special for me...for us."

"Because we filmed here?"

"I fell in love with you here. The first time I felt I never wanted to let you go."

"So, how's it?"

"It's...edible."

"I know that look. I'm buying you a proper meal. Let's go."

"No, this is fine. I'm gonna eat this."

"You don' t have to."

"I can eat a rock if you cook it."

"Ah cham."

"It's edible. You just have to make it tastier next time."

"Ahrasso."

“You and your uncle jokes, really.”

“Wae? You find it funny, too. Look at you laughing.”

“I- tbh, I don’t even know why it’s just funny when you’re the one telling it.”

“It’s just so easy to make you laugh. I like that about you.”

“Not really. I only laugh coz I like you.”

"You okay?"

"응...just a bit hungry. But I'm good."

"The shoot's wrapping up in 30 mins. You sure you can hold your hunger until then?"

"Sure. Don't worry."

"You didn't have to wait for me, y'know. We could've met--

"Sshh...I want to be here. I can wait for you all night."

"Good morning! What are you cooking?"

"Egg rolls, as you requested. To go with the doenjang-jjigae. And the galbi and the salted fish."

"Whoa. You woke up early for this? I just got out of bed."

"It's fine. By the time you get here, brunch is ready."

"Oppa jjang!"

"I know."

"You're asking me why I like you?"

"Uh-huh."

"You're fishing."

"No. I just wanna know."

"Simple. I'm greedy.”

"Huh?"

"You're such a ball of sunshine I want to keep with me all the time. All mine."

"Jinjja. I can't really win over you, can I?"

"No. But you can always try."

"We enjoyed the concert tonight. Thank you so much for inviting us."

"No, thanks for coming. It means a lot to me."

"I knew you're good but I didn't know you are this good. I don't know what to say."

"Ah jinjja...you liked what you saw?

"Yes.."

"That's all I need to hear."

"That's a really cute cat but--

"Isn't she? She's been following me since we got here & I've tried my best not to give in to her charms but she's such a sweetheart--

"--yeah she's cute i can see that but that hand petting her is cuter and I wanna see your face pls. I miss you."

"I know I said I won't even have time to miss you here but everytime I see food, I think of you..."

"Ah jinjjia...am I really seeing you being clingy with me? This is a first."

"I couldn't even eat that gelato w/o thinking of you."

"Ya ya, stop! Don't make me miss you more."

""

"You still at the after-party? I heard the premiere night was a success. Chukahae."

"Komawo "

"You're drunk! I can feel it w/ these emojis overload. And that weird selfie you just sent!"

"Youknw I like you alot..come imiss you here.. "

"Oppa! "

"Is it really good? Do you like it? Should I have made it spicier?"

"Mmmhmm..it's good. I like it."

"I haven't been nervous in cooking tteokbokki before. This is crazy."

"Aww...but why? You cook anything so well."

"This is your fave. I don't wanna mess it up the first time."

"Stop gawking. Let me nap a bit. Go read your book."

"Stop whining & sleep. Let me do what I want."

"I can feel your eyes on me. And that smile...it's blinding."

"Sleepy but still cheeky, huh?"

"Too tired to argue but not too sleepy to kiss--

"Alright, you win! Sleep! Now!"

"You know when I like you most?"

"Hmm, no? W-when?"

"When you're busy being normal & ordinary even when the spotlight's on you."

"...that's a compliment, right?"

"It is. I like it coz it's what I try to do too."

"Feet on the ground while we reach for the stars."

"Exactly."

"....what's this?! When did you take this?"

"Sleepyhead you didn't even notice me."

"Ah jinjjiaaa...how many derp face photos of me that you have?"

"Derp what? Y'know I don't usually take photos. Only when I think the subject is pretty..."

"......"

"You're welcome."

“Make a wish!”

“...happiness & good health..and more time to sleep, please?”

“ well, aside from those things..anything else?”

“Uh—hmm. I was gonna say ‘you’ but I already have you so that’s it. Now, can I go back to sleep?”

“You really know how to shut me up. Jinjjia.”

“Wae? Why are you smiling like that?”

“Nothing. I’m just happy you’re here.”

“If I say I’d show up, I really would. You know that.”

“At work? In front of all these people?”

“Don’t whisper.”

“You’re crazy.”

“Crazy for you? I guess so.”

“Everyone’s looking.”

“Let them.”

“Come on... I see that pout. Long day?”

“Long and hard day. I can really use a hug right now.”

“... I’m sorry. I’ll give you one soon. I promise.”

“Kwenchana. Just talking to you right now helps a lot. How about you? How’s your day?”

“The usual. Still missing you.”

“나도.”

“Are you hungry? This will take a bit longer. And the rice’s —

“It’s fine. I can wait. Hey, did you lose weight? You look thinner from this view.”

“I weigh just the same. Ya, stop watching me.”

“Why not? Besides, I don’t get to see you everyday so I—

“I know. I miss you too.”

"Don't look at me like that, pls."

"What? I'm not even--

"--you're glaring at me. It's not like I meant this to happen."

"I'm not saying you did. I'm just tired. We've been driving all day and we're hungry and..."

"...i didn't know that they don't serve ttokbokki here."

""

"You sure you want that weird looking fish?"

"Yeah. It's so cute. Look, we even look alike! See?"

"Aigoo. Those big eyes look scary. You're the cute one."

"But the eyes remind me of you, tho. Esp when you're surprised."

"What?! Yaaa~ why do you always pick on my big eyes?"

"Oh.안녕하세요~"

"Aissh~ these punks! Ya..go away! Hey, how's your day? Are you going to bed? I'm still working as you can see.."

"Yes..I'm sleepy now. Ah, 감사합니다! You're all working hard. Fighting!"

"Yaaa~of course, she's pretty. Don't mind-- ah, gimme back my phone!"

"I'm your no. 1 fan, y'know. It's thrilling to see you onstage like this."

"Well, it's surreal to see you in the audience while I'm up here. This is your spot."

"Nah. You were born to shine. Look, you are so loved & cherished."

"I--

"Ssshh. Tonight, you're the only star."

"Stop goofing around and come sit with me. Aren't you tired?"

"My legs are aching, tbh. But that was fun. Dancing with you is always fun!"

"Right? We should do this often."

"Yes please!"

"Y'know I don't like to sweat & all but I don't mind dancing esp with you."

"Komawo~"

"We should do this often. This feels nice."

"Right? I told you, when the sun is out we should play!"

"And it's not so hot today. The wind is cool and refreshing."

"You're sweating."

"It's fine. I'm enjoying the view."

"Me?"

"Who else? You make the grass look pretty."

“You sure you wanna do this? You don’t have to.”

“No, lemme do things right. We’re here anyway. And it’s rude not to let them know I’m dropping their daughter off in one piece.”

“But...you’re turning pale. Kwenchana?”

“Pfft. Me? Of course!”

“You’re nervous!”

“Ya. Stop it.”

“Did you know that those two dated for real? They fell in love on set.”

“Yeah..but they did break up eventually.”

“...y’know that’s not what I’m getting at, right?”

“What? I’m just trying to say that we shouldn’t end up like them. Their sad ending, I mean.”

“You don’t say..”

"Should I drive you home after this? I think I can--

"Aniyaa~You should get some rest."

"But I want to. I've missed you these days..."

"...alright, we can do that I guess--

"And we can grab some dinner & maybe a movie--

"Ya, you're planning a full-blown date!"

"Yes, I am."

“Ahh, so you can add those effects even on a live video call?”

“ Oppaaa! Cham... you didn’t know?”

“I thot it’s just for photos... wae wae wae? Don’t laugh!”

“I’m not! Aigoo...Kiyowo.”

“What are those balloons for anyway?”

“Ahh, these? Keunyang. Just to make you smile.”

"W-what is that look?"

"Why do you look so pretty tonight?"

"Don't start, oppa. I'm starving. I can't eat your cute words."

"Ya. You're really something when you're hungry."

"You could've just cooked for me, y'know. No need--"

"--and missed seeing you like this?"

"Hmpft..."

“Komawo...”

“For what?”

“Just...for everything.”

“What...tell me..”

“For tonight...the moon above us...the stars in your eyes... you... beside me like this...”

“Aigoo...”

“My little universe is right here. I couldn’t ask for more.”

"축하해. I'm proud of you."

"Thank you...for helping me reach this goal. You do know that, right?"

"No. This is all yours. I didn't do anything."

"You were there for me at the hardest part. That means alot."

"...I'd do that for you anytime. It's nothing."

"It's everything."

“Do I make you happy?”

“Yes. Of course. Why?”

“...I like how you sound so sure. You make me happy too. Since day one.”

“...and when is that?”

“The day I first laid my eyes on you.”

“I remember that moment so well.”

“Really?”

“How can I forget? I knew then that it’s you.”

“Cham. I haven’t laughed like this in awhile.”

“You’re too kind. My uncle jokes aren’t even that funny.”

“Aigoo~ you think I’m just being polite?”

“I dunno, all I know is my corny jokes don’t deserve your pretty smile.”

“But...my smile has always been yours. No jokes needed.”

“A-are we okay?”

*silence*

*sigh* “I guess we’re not...”

*she glares at him*

“Eyyy... come on.”

“...you flicked my forehead.”

“Only coz you lost in the game. We agreed on it.”

“You didn’t have to flick that hard.”

“I— come here, I’ll blow a kiss on—

—in your dreams!”

"Got more vinegar?"

"Cupboard, lower shelf."

"Poached or scrambled eggs?"

"Poached, pls."

"Want some bracken?"

"Yes, pls."

"Oi muchim?"

"Yes, pls."

"Marry me?"

"Yes pl---what?!"

*Grins widely*

"I heard that answer, loud & clear."

"Ya~ ask properly. Again."

"I will."

“Is that a coffee stain? How—

—I thot I’d bring you but I spilled it while playing with a cute puppy earlier. ”

“Aigoo~ kwenchana? The coffee isn’t necessary, we’re gonna have bfast anyway.”

“But you said you wanted .”

“I said I wanted to see you. Coffee is optional.”

“Are we really celebrating our 100th day like this? Ah jinjja~”

“Why? This is exactly how I mustered the courage to confess to you.”

“Yeah but you weren’t drunk. Just nervous.”

“How did u know?”

“You weren’t slurring ur words. And your eyes were so clear.”

“Ah keurae?”
