[You in Radio] - Mr. Oh Jung-se?
- Yes? - Hello.
- Hello.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. - It's been a while.
- Yes.

How have you been? I've been sitting here for a week. Really? - Yes, all week.
- All week!

That's why you were here studying something [Have been reading the script all week?]
when I got here earlier.

I heard that wasn't a preview. It was a review. I was thinking about why I did it like that last time.

[Not a preview but a review and regret]
- So, it was for review and regret, right?
- Yes, I could preview today's script.

It's the same for acting. We always review after doing it, right? - Right.
- I should've done this and that...

- It's been over ten years since we started acting. Why are we still doing that?
- That's what I want to ask.

Yeah, right. You're an actor like hot fish cake soup in cold winter. [I'm hot soup?]
Are you mocking me?

You're not, are you? - Surprisingly, this is a compliment.
- It's a compliment?

For me - wherever I eat tteokbokki I always need hot fish cake soup.
- Right.

Especially on a cold day, hot fish cake soup on the street is the best. I think that's why

you always look warm and kind, whatever you play. And that's why you look more scary when you play the villain.

Because you're usually warm and kind. Right. You always react like that. When there are several people here, if I say

"Hey!", and you're always the first to say "Yes?" [Jung-se who's always so cool.]
You're always unbiased.

Even if you're much older than me, when I say, "Hey," you say, "Yes?" so casually.

I could have even said, "Yes, ma'am?" What kind of food comes to mind when you think of me?

I think you're like a paper cup. Oh... It's not a kind of food. You do?

You're like a paper cup with hot fish cake soup in it. You always hold this warmth and make the fish cake soup valuable.

That means I'm somewhat empty, right? Yeah, kind of.

- You read between the lines.
- That's weird. You're much stronger than I thought.

Okay, then... - You think I can't even keep the soup warm because I'm a paper cup, right?
- Yeah, exactly.

That's the key meaning of it. I see. So, you mean I'm a paper cup?

- that you can feel my warmth directly.
- Yes, that's right.

You're so good at making me protect myself. Anyway, I know what you mean.

Today, we'll start with "Love In-na" as well. "Love In-na."

- Today is the last episode, right?
- Right. How do you feel that it's your last time today?

How about you show your best with a great act? It says here, "Only 50%, please."

So I'll follow this. Okay, good. Let's get started. [This episode is based on a true story. / Earphones are recommended.]

[Oh Jung-se / the role of Seok-ho] [Yoo In-na / the role of Tae-joo]

[That house still smells like summer. / Illustrated by Carrot] When I got home late at night

I found a note and a car key on the table. "I'm leaving the car. Use it until you move out."

It didn't say anything like "Take care" or "I love you," but every word was just left on the table.

In June 2020, the first year of our dating, we got a small house in Nowon-gu.

We didn't get married, but we decided to live together. Not only for me, but also for Seok-ho, it was the first time living without parents.

We checked houses for rent on Naver and looked around for a house in the town. When we asked, "We're here to look for a rental."

we looked like real grown-ups, which made me flutter. Room 103 in unit 207.

The realtor said that it came cheap because it's on the first floor. Come over here, Tae-joo.

Look at that trail. There are hydrangeas. Along the trail that Seok-ho was pointing

were lined hydrangeas that didn't bloom yet. We were so immature at that time. The floorboards were ripped here and there,

the sink was covered with a faded silver plate, and the humid wooden door of the bathroom had paint peels, which looked hideous.

"I like this place. Let's move in." We were so happy. Only because of the hydrangea trail seen through the window of the terrace in a small room

we picked that place as our first nest. We lived there for four years. They say living together makes each other's ugly side come into sight, which causes quarrels.

But we hardly had any quarrels while living together. When I got off the subway, line number seven, near our home

Tae-joo was always waiting for me, holding a bag with my sneakers at the front gate.

There was a quite long stream called Danghyeoncheon near our studio. It was always very crowded in the evening.

So many dogs would pass by us, sniffing, as if all the dogs in the world were in the town.

Let's get a puppy later. Small talks like this relieved my fatigue at the end of the day.

Tae-joo was the one who usually talked.  "Should we have hot dogs? That puppy is lovely."

"Look, there are ducks. Do we have spring onions at home? How about a movie tonight?"

I heard the first prize winner of the lottery came from that store! Those meaningless small talks from Tae-joo went on and on along our walk like that.

I could forget every annoyance and regret that bothered me on the subway while walking on the trail with her.

What are you thinking? Without a word of lie or exaggeration, I always replied like this: "All my fatigue goes away when I walk with you hand in hand."

Tae-joo said, smiling, that she felt the same. Now that I think of it, every word Tae-joo said while walking was music to me.

Sitting at the dining table, I could see the sink neatly tidied. The sink was a glossy emerald color at first.

My grandma had one the same color before. Grandma's house? I didn't want our first nest to look like a grandma's house, so we went to the mart right away

to get a sheet in a light brown color with a wooden pattern.  "Do you think we can do this?"

It wasn't us, but Seok-ho who did it. Seok-ho tried to cover the sink with the sheet, totteringly standing on it.

I don't think this would work, Tae-joo. He started removing all the doors.

He removed all fourteen wooden doors and ran to the supermarket to get paper boxes. He placed all the boxes on the floor like a carpet in the living room.

and cut, pasted, and trimmed the sheets prettily and neatly. Our kitchen became beautiful, as if we remodeled it with wooden materials.

Wow, it looks like a remodeled house! I said, clapping my hands. Seok-ho looked happy.

Do you like it? It was the kitchen we always used for four years. It was just the kitchen where we always ate meals and cut cucumbers.

That moment suddenly came to mind, so I couldn't look at the kitchen. It's so embarrassing to cry looking at the sink.

Four years had passed since we rented the house, so it was time to think about renewing the rental contract.

When we first rented the house, it was 250 million won for sale and 200 million won for rent.

But it rose to 500 million for sale, and the rental fee also increased a lot. We might be able to get a room in Gyeonggi-do.

Uijeongbu or Namyangju isn't that far from the workplace. You know how much the rental fee in those areas is? That also costs a lot.

Maybe we can get a loan. You know how much the lending rate is? It's 5 percent. You even know how much 5 percent is?

It's not that high. I heard there are better options like a "Stepping Stone Loan" or something.

I think it started from there. Our conversations were always about reality. While eating hot dogs, we talked about starting a business.

While touching a puppy, we talked about our friends who were raising kids. We talked about work during grocery shopping,

and we talked about salaries, parents, medical expenses, changing jobs, and oil prices. It wasn't fun anymore.

Even while walking along Danghyeoncheon hand in hand, everything around us sounded noisy. Sitting on the sofa, the place looked empty

although Seok-ho just moved out with a few things. We had six pots on the terrace.

When I took him to Yangjae Flower Market, Seok-ho was amazed by the size of the market, but he looked apathetic.

A shop owner asked us, "Are you newly married?" Then Seok-ho suddenly looked excited and started pointing here and there.

We bought orange jasmine, nandina, a Bangal tree, and Starlight Benjamin. Seok-ho picked four, and I picked two more palm trees.

On weekends, Seok-ho turned on the music, "The Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning," and I watered the plants on the terrace in a t-shirt.

In summer, Seok-ho used to burn mosquito-repellent incense on the terrace.

I worried that the smoke could kill the plants, and Seok-ho kept opening and closing the terrace door

saying it's a summer smell. It was just a terrace. A small and narrow terrace.

Seok-ho, who's not here now, was walking there. It's winter now, but our terrace still smells like summer.

I should have left a note that the window should be kept open when the heater is on to prevent the room from getting too dry.

I was worried that she would call me to take the car. Tae-joo changed her job three months ago

and it took 30 minutes by car and one hour and 40 minutes by public transportation to get to her new workplace.

The blue bus was fine, but the red bus made her sick, so she used to lie down with a pale face for 30 minutes when she got home.

We were going to move to a new house near her workplace, so I wanted her to commute by car until we moved there.

When I woke up this morning, there was no message from her. She might have been busy getting the house ready

so I thought she needed a car. I hope she didn't feel sick on the bus. I hope she stays healthy

and well. This has been our weekly love episode, "Love In-na." It was the story of Tae-joo and Seok-ho.

I hope they don't break up. I heard they're still getting along well. [(Shameless)]
I got a report.

In a short time, they reported they're doing well.
- Oh, did they? - That's a relief.
- Yeah, that's a relief.

Now we've adapted to the camera. [Finally got used to it in the last episode]
Finally, we can talk. Honestly, I thought that

for the first time on our radio show, we could show the male lead collapsing like this. [Fortunately, he can go home safe.]
- That's a relief.
- Yeah. They weren't in big...

[He's still adapting.]
- Not in big trouble.
- They weren't in big trouble.

Didn't you say, "Do we have a home in the spring onion?" earlier? [Home in the spring onion?]
Everyone has a home in the spring onion, right?

[Just earlier]
Look, there are ducks over there. [(In the spring onion?)]
Do we have spring onions...
