"You In Radio" KakaoTalk received a story from "Debt-ridden Solo." I broke up with my boyfriend after dating for just under eight months.

Almost the entire time we were dating, he gave me morning calls. Even on weekends, he would wake me up super early because I had a bakery job starting at 6 a.m.

But we broke up. We said, 'Let’s never see each other again,' and ended things cleanly. But yesterday… the day after we broke up, he called me.

"Uh? Ah…" Then he hung up abruptly. He probably forgot and called out of habit while half-asleep. I didn’t even cry when we decided to break up, but I cried so much that morning.

We’re meeting later today. So, does this mean we’re back to day 255 minus that one day we were apart?

Or... is it day 1 again? Wait a second. 'Debt-ridden Solo!' Did you skip a few lines between 'I cried so much' and 'We’re meeting later'?

Like, 'We decided to get back together' or something?

Or is this just denial? What’s going on here? If you broke up, then you broke up. Alright, this is over now.

Get up by yourself. I’ll be your morning call from now on, record this and use it as your alarm. 'D-E-B-T-R-I-D-D-E-N Solo!' It’s six o’clock!

Get up! If you don’t wake up now, someone like me, a bread lover, won’t be able to have her morning bread and will starve on the way to work!

And you! You’ll find a better boyfriend!

Until then, wake up with my voice! YOU! Get UP! Wow, my name is so useful. My grandpa gave me the perfect name.

Today is the day we share adorable love stories from couples. And today is also the day we meet... Our very own male lead.

Yes, 'The Male Lead of the Month!' It’s the day we meet our new lead. Oh, this person, how should I even introduce him?

I was so surprised when I came to work today. I showed up an hour early.

Yeah, even I think that’s funny. Right. Even I’m like this sometimes. [When I arrived, (the staff) were already there.] “What’s going on?

” I asked, and they were all sitting down writing letters. To today’s male lead. Some were saying they’d get autographs.

It was chaos. That’s the kind of person we’re talking about here. 'You In Radio’s' December Male Lead, Actor Park Jeong-min!

It’s overwhelming, isn’t it? Yeah. First, could you say hello to our 'You In Radio' subscribers and the viewers watching now?

'You In Radio' subscribers, hello, I’m Park Jeong-min. Thank you for having me.

Let’s clap only half as much as we feel like clapping. Since ears are precious, let’s only clap halfway.

This is for you. Thank you. I’ve watched you chat with men on other shows, so I know how unpretentious you are.

But inviting you here with such fanfare feels a bit over the top.

Sorry about that... No, it's fine. Why? You're okay, right? Do you know the term 'Afterimage Guy'?

No, I don't. You don't? Let me explain. Your style is what's called 'Afterimage Guy' these days.

I didn't know this either. I asked, 'What does that mean?' and when I looked it up, I thought, 'Oh, that's so Park Jeong-min!' It's like this: At a college freshman gathering, everyone's drinking and laughing, having a good time.

You go to bed, and then... something feels weird... The moment you made eye contact with someone earlier lingers like an afterimage.

Is that me? I'm the type who just goes to bed laughing. Right, you go to bed. But everyone else goes home, and you keep popping into their heads.

After a tough office dinner, when they're finally heading home in a taxi, they think, 'Something feels weird...' You singing earlier comes up like an afterimage.

Such a style. When you held the elevator door and said, 'Hold on a second,' they think, - 'Something is weird...'
- What feels weird?

The way you held the elevator door lingers. Really? Now you know that's exactly your style.

Really? Living like that seems uncomfortable. Really? 'Oh no, is that person going to think about me like that later...

Weird...' That's probably how I'd feel. But everyone will go home tonight, thinking, “Weird... weird...” No doubt about it.

So, you probably had some idea what this would be like when you came here today, right?

For the next four weeks, we’ll be sharing and discussing various love stories. I don’t know if I’m the right actor for this.

You’re perfect! A 100-point actor. But I’ve barely done any romance projects. That’s why I’m so curious.

Ah... I see. Each week, we’ll introduce a short story, formatted as a mini-sketch. Starting today, let’s see how well we can work together, Mr. Male Lead.

Have we met somewhere before? I’ve been on quite a few blind dates, but... This kind of thing has never happened before.

He was 10 minutes late, and as soon as he sat down... Huh? For the record, we were just meeting for the first time on a blind date.

We hadn’t even exchanged greetings yet. Huh? But he kept going, “Huh? Huh?” Huh...?

Why are you doing that? Don't you know me? Do you know me...? We know each other, don't we?

Do I? Don’t you think we’ve met before? Wow... this is so bad... such an outdated pick-up line.

After calming down a little, we ordered drinks and finally introduced ourselves. Anyway, nice to meet you. I’m Lee Joon-hyun.

Yes, I’m Kim So-eun. Yeah... so, your senior’s boyfriend’s friend is my high school friend...

So, your senior’s boyfriend is Kim Jung-hoon, who is my friend's friend, and Jung-hoon’s girlfriend is Jae-young, who’s your senior.

Jung-hoon’s friend is Park Jin-woo, and I’m Jin-woo’s friend, so I kind of know Jung-hoon too...

So, friend of a friend of a friend. It's quite complicated. I got it. So we're all friends.

Anyway, we met through friends. By the way, Jae-young said you’re a really nice person... I don’t usually run late like this, but I’m so sorry about being late.

Oh, it’s okay. Just 10 minutes. No big deal. Ten minutes is enough time to save a dozen lives.

Wow, that’s so cool. You think that because of your job. But seriously, I feel like I’ve seen you before.

I went to a coed high school. Me too! Really? I even went to a university in Chungnam. Oh, I’ve never been to Chungnam.

I see. Do you go to church? No, I’m not religious. Ah, okay, not religious. Do you live in Gwangmyeong?

No, I don’t live there. Oh, I do live in Gwangmyeong. Oh... well, I don’t.

Then, as he wiped the sweat off his forehead with a look of frustration, I suddenly remembered something faintly. Ah, I see... His job is...

Oh, yeah, that’s right. You remembered something, right? What? You remembered something, right? We met before, right?

But a memory from exactly a year ago came rushing back. It was a lazy weekend, and I was at home, peeling mandarins without washing my face and watching a variety show.

I was laughing so hard at Lee Young-ji’s segment on Earth Arcade. And then suddenly, snap!

Huh? There was a weird sound in my back, and I felt dizzy. My younger sibling called 911, and soon my house was in chaos.

Ahhhhhh! Okay, calm down. Let’s move you carefully. Can you turn this way for me? Ahhhhhhh! Sir, please help me!

Hold on. Just try to stay calm. We’ll get you to the hospital. There’s a stretcher. We’ll slide it under you, alright?

AHHHHH! It hurts! It hurts so bad. I can't do it, sir. Oh, sir, I’m not a “sir.” No, you’ll be fine.

You can do this. Alright, step by step... I’ll support your back, so let’s try this side...

Just a little bit this way. Sir! Wait! Wait! Sir, if you press the bed, it hurts. Alright, if the bed moves, your back will hurt more, right? I know...

Careful, careful, we’ve got you, so just hang in there... Mommmmmmmm! Oh dear... just hold on a little bit longer...

While I was thrashing in pain, he kept sliding the stretcher under me from the right side, then moving it from the left, wiping sweat off his forehead the whole time, desperately trying to get my body onto the stretcher.

Using the back of his hand to push his hair out of the way...

Okay, on the count of three, we’re going to lift. One, two, three! AHHHHHHH!

Alright, into the elevator. Let’s go from the 16th floor to the 3rd floor quickly, okay?

We’re taking the stairs now. Okay, we’re down! Now, we’re going to load you into the ambulance. Don’t be scared, alright? One, two, three!

AHHHHHHH! We did it! We got you in! Now we just have to get to the hospital. You did great... You did great...

So, there were three paramedics that day, one woman and two men. And this man, who stayed by my side the whole time, kept saying, "You’re okay, you’re doing great, stay strong." Let’s see... Yeongdeungpo is backed up because of the festival.

Guro? That’s too far! Sir, I think I’m going to die… Guro’s closer. You’re not going to die. We’re almost there, okay? Just hang in there.

Guro’s closer. You’re not going to die. We’re almost there, okay? Just hang in there. Yeah... That day, my disc herniated, and all my nerves got compressed...

I ended up getting emergency surgery and was hospitalized for a whole month. How did I even look back then? Oh, eye boogers! Yeah, my eyes had...

Oh right, I woke up late and didn’t even wash my face... My hair! Oh gosh... It was such a matted mess...

And oh my goodness... I was wearing smelly pajamas... Oh right, my room was a total disaster, a pigsty.

You remember, don’t you? Something came to mind, didn’t it? Oh, I think I’m starting to remember myself.

No! Don’t remember! Don’t remember that it was me. No! We’re never going to see each other again anyway!

Excuse me, So-eun? Yes? Next time, I’ll make sure to make you laugh. Would you consider meeting me again?

Should I say it? That we’ve met before? That the man who gave me a ride back then is Joon-hyun now?

That the man who quietly took care of everything, told me not to get sick, and drove me to the ER is probably Joon-hyun?

Why are you smiling? Should I say it or not? I kept hesitating, but little chuckles kept slipping out of my mouth.

Is there something? There’s something, right? Well... What? I think we have some kind of amazing connection.

Us? Before I tell you, I have one condition. What is it? You have to forget how I looked that day!

You can’t think of my crusty eyes or my matted hair! Why? What happened? Where exactly did we meet?

Oh, this is a skit script based on Kim So-eun’s story. She shared her story about meeting the paramedic who helped her when her disc herniated, at a blind date later on.

While talking, she realized he had once worked in her neighborhood as an EMT. Though she was out of it, calling him “mister, mister,” he turned out to be two years older than her.

And suddenly, from a certain expression, she remembered. “Everyone, be careful with your discs! I had emergency surgery and had to wear a back brace for months,” she said.

This is fascinating. Fascinating, but... The paramedic must’ve been good-looking. Why? Because it’s hard to remember someone’s face when you meet them so briefly unless they’re somewhat attractive.

You’re in pain, after all. Exactly. When you’re in so much pain, who has the mind to notice anyone?

But if they’re good-looking, you might notice. Yeah, that could be it. But I guess it didn’t work out since they had a blind date...

Still, it’s such a fascinating connection. There’s no conclusion here. If they’re still seeing each other, shouldn’t the conclusion be, “We’re doing well”?

But it didn’t work out, did it? Maybe it’s because So-eun showed him her place at its absolute worst.

That must be what he remembered. Have you ever had such a special connection like this? I don’t think I’ve had a connection this special, but once, I met a woman —not on a blind date, just met and talked —and we realized we’d seen the same performance on the same day and time.

It was a play... A play? Plays usually run for two or three months, right? But it turned out we both went on the same day.
