The year 2006 marks the 28th year of my birth. Republic of Korea.

High Kick! Episode 2

The fifth year of his term was a turbulent year for president Roh.

There was the incident of the staged stem cell research,

the progression of talks for the Korea-US FTA negotiation

and public outcry against adult arcades.

The North Korea finally had decided to test their nuclear weapons.

And it was also the year in which the soccer team led by Advocaat

failed to qualify for the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

In that turbulent late summer of 2006, I was born in Seoul.

You said you're going out. It's a good thing you're here.

I'm hungry. Give me my food.

I want to go��

You want to eat out? Let's just eat at home.

I want to go there.

What? Where is there?

Where is that? You want to travel?

I want to go study abroad. To study music composition.

What? Why all of a sudden?

What are you dreaming about again?

All you did was sing a few jingles on cable.

You can't compose.

What is this? Is there sweat?

What is this?

Are these tears? Are you crying?

I want to go to Moscow to study!

I don't want to live like this!

What is this!

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

Don't be like this. I'll do better.

Forget it.

Stop it! How can love change?

Love changes.

I'm going.

No! You can't go! You can't leave!

I don't believe kids nowadays.

What are you doing here by yourself?

Just...

Just what?

Mr. Lee, haven't you seen me before?

Where?

You seemed very familiar.

I don't remember.

I saw you somewhere before...

Be careful!

- Are you all right? - You should leave.

- Are you really all right? - I think I have a nosebleed!

We need to get you to a nurse.

I'm embarrassed.

- Let me see. - It's okay.

- You aren't bleeding. - Huh?

It's not blood.

You have a runny nose.

You're right.

I'm embarrassed. I'll take off first.

Hey, Shinji. It's been awhile.

Poor my baby. What am I going to do?

Did you talk to Jun's mom?

The cellphone is off. I can't reach her.

What shall we do? The child is left behind.

Who would've thought this will happen?

I have a workshop to get to. I have to go.

Where?

Where are you going?

You can't reuse plastic bottles.

Huh?

This can cause germs to breed.

I told you numerous times.

Why bother?

- I can't throw that out. - You can use the other one.

Don't put food in there. Understand, Mother?

I'm going.

Understand, Mother? Who does she think she is?

Give it up.

I don't have any money!

Do you want this instead?

I bought this couple days ago so it's brand new.

- Hey. - You scared me!

Does it look cool?

Where did you get the motorcycle again?

I borrowed it from Sungmin for a week. He went traveling.

You're crazy. What if Mom finds out...

Of course it's a secret. If I park it behind she wouldn't know.

- But I'm going to tell her. - Tell her what?

Go right ahead.

- Are you going to beat me up? - Pretty badly.

- You know me. Right? - I do.

Then don't do it.

Go in first. I'm going for a ride.

I wish I can just kill him. One of these days...

Oh! You scared me.

You came to see the baby? Father's in his office.

- Where are you going? - To Jeju Island.

- I'll see you when I get back. - Are you going to airport?

Cab!

- Have a good... - See you later.

See you...

She never lets me finish my sentences.

Haemi? She went to a workshop.

I don't know where.

I asked, but she didn't answer me.

I don't know where she went to.

Anyway, she left.

She doesn't listen to me at all.

Mom!

Minyong's here. Talk to you later.

What are you doing at this time?

School ended awhile ago.

Jun, come here. Come here.

Did she really go to Russia? Did she really go?

She did. How many times do I have to say it?

How can she do that? How can she abandon her child like that?

Forget it! Forget it! I'm hungry.

Why are you angry at me?

Do you want some cooked shrimp?

Just give it to me. Of course I'll eat the shrimp.

- Do you want rice as well? - Yes.

How come you didn't have dinner yet?

What if Father comes home again? I'm worried.

- He won't be here at this hour... - Honey?

You!

Where do you think this is!

Didn't you hear what I said?

I told you not to come here!

- Mother, take Jun. - Honey!

- Father, Father! - Come here! Stop right there!

Hey you! Stop right there!

You'd better not come by next time!

Minyong, Minyong.

- Minyong! - What!

Take the shrimp!

I don't want shrimp!

If you have time for that, talk to Father for me.

This is rough for me, too! Why can't he understand that?

- Take the shrimp. - No! I'm not eating it!

I'm going to throw it. Catch.

What is this!

Take it!

Here are some pancakes!

Forget it! I'm not eating!

Minyong! I'm going to throw this. Catch it. Watch out for your head.

I think I pulled my arm.

I told you to keep him away from the house.

Because of you...

My arm...

- What's wrong? - I'm dying.

Hey.

Where did you go after class?

We were playing computer games. I won.

Really?

- Are you going to sleep over? - Yes.

Two of my relatives are visiting. I'm sick of them.

I thought you were going for a lap.

I did. I'll hide it there tonight.

Tonight, I'm planning on racing.

- What? She dislocated her shoulder? - Yes, so she can't do much.

I knew it. Who is taking care of Jun?

Haemi isn't there.

We'll take care of him. Don't worry.

Hey, hang up. He's crying.

You can't watch the baby.

I'm worried again.

Shinji

- Hello? - Hey, it's me.

- Who? - Me?

Who are you?

It's me. Shinji.

You mean my ex-wife? I had no idea.

- What's up? - You are really lame.

Why are you calling me? I thought we were done.

I didn't call for you. I called to see how Jun's doing.

Call Jun if you want to talk to him. Why are you calling me?

I'm so frustrated with you!

You know I was like this.

- Didn't you? - Hang up!

Hang up!

I didn't ask her to call me. Why is she starting a fight with me?

Why?

Jun is doing well. Don't worry.

I'm hanging up now.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

That early?

I wanted to see Jun's face one more time before I left.

What? No way. Forget it. It's not going to happen.

What do you mean it can't happen?

I told Father that you left Seoul, just in case he might do something.

I can't take Jun to the airport.

Then I'll stop by your place at night. You can bring him out for a bit!

You really don't understand the situation.

If you get caught, you'll get in trouble. Don't even dream about it, all right?

I know, so you need to help me.

Help you out? Why should I help you out?

Forget about it. I hate you!

Hello? Hello? Are you crying?

Is it that hard to do me a favor before I leave?

Hey... All right. Stop crying.

Jun.

You're scaring him.

Am I scaring him?

He is crying even more.

Maybe you should leave.

Why are you making the baby cry? What's going on?

He drinks milk. He's got no fever.

And we are playing with him. Why doesn't he stop crying?

Did he poop in his diaper?

Poop? You may be right.

He must have pooped in the diaper. Check out his diaper.

- Here is the diaper. - Take out the diaper first.

- Like this? - Don't turn him over like that!

- Just lift the legs. - Like this?

Like... It's convenient to...

- He pooped a lot. - It's getting in my hand!

- It's all over my hand. - Don't shake it here!

This is disgusting! Shouldn't we bathe him?

You're right! Take him to the bathroom!

Careful...

He's falling!

- Help me! - Disgusting.

- The floor is slick! - Be careful.

- Let's switch positions. - Here?

Be careful.

Put him in the water. Careful.

It's hot. Hey! The water is hot.

I told you to check the temperature!

No!

Watch his head!

Take him to the sofa! Let's go to the sofa.

What are you doing!

Careful!

Bring the blanket here.

Hey! Careful! Careful!

I need to go out. Why aren't they going to sleep?

And what is he doing at our house again?

Mom?

My dear son. Are you studying?

The house feels empty without you, Mom.

- What about Yunho? - Yunho?

Yunho is sleeping.

He's always like that.

Yes.

Father, do you want to drink beer?

Sure. Bring it here.

There you are.

Are we having a picnic or something?

Huh?

You already had dinner. What's with all this food?

You know I'm a big eater.

Cheers!

Is the baby sleeping?

His eyes are wide open.

He will go to sleep when I hold him...

You can go in and sleep.

Looking after a baby isn't such an easy thing to do.

It's not the easiest thing.

How dare she leave behind her son to her father-in-law.

Don't blame her. They are both the same.

They are the same.

I'm going in now. Be ready in 5 minutes.

Is he sleeping? Should I hold him?

It's okay.

- What are you doing here? - What about you?

I'm thirsty. I think I drank too much beer.

What kind of fart was that? Sounded like an explosion.

It's not like this is the first time. You know how I fart.

This smells awful.

Uncle, I'm going out first.

I don't know what's going on, but don't get caught.

You, too.

Why aren't they coming out?

Jun!

Jun, it's me! He's so big!

Dad's going to wake up soon. I have to go back in 5 minutes.

Is he sleeping?

Jun?

Where did Jun go?

Jun's right here.

What happened?

Did you drop the baby? Jun, Jun?

- Where did the baby go? - What's wrong?

- Is Jun in your room? - No.

Then where did the baby go? What did you do to the baby!

- What happened? - Why?

The baby disappeared?

Where did the baby go?

Jun! Where did the baby go?

He couldn't have come here.

Then what's going on?

Did somebody kidnap him?

No!

Maybe Yunho took him out for a walk?

Why would Yunho take him out?

Dad! Yunho went for a ride in his motorcycle.

Isn't that Shinji?

Oh! That's Shinji!

Look!

It's getting late. You should go. It's already been over 10 minutes.

Wait...

Hey!

I knew this was going to happen!

- What should I do! - Stay right there!

- Jun! - Where is she going?

Maybe she's planning on taking him to Russia!

- Russia? - We need to go catch her.

- Lets go after her! - Cab!

Jun!

I got you now!

Hey look over there! Isn't that Yunho?!

Isn't he supposed to be in high school?

What's going on?

- You! Come over here! - Dad, I...

Give me the keys!

Father, I'll do it...

Let me drive! It's dangerous!!

I'm going to get them!

This wasn't supposed to happen!

Didn't you see that? Yunho was driving a motorcycle!

That witch is going to take off with my grandson!

This wasn't supposed to happen!

I thought I'd be in trouble. Guess nobody cares.

I don't understand this!

Are you crazy? If you run away from there, they'll get angrier!

What was I supposed to do? He might really kill me!

But...

I need to go back. I'm getting off with Jun.

Oh! Oh my god!

Stop right there!

What should I do?

Pull over!

I'm here. We are not running away!

Minyong's also there. So it wasn't kidnapping!

Stop the car!

She won't stop unless you promise not to be so mad.

She is scared now!

I'm not promising anything!

You got a divorce! And now you took the baby!

I'm sorry, Father.

Father, promise her! We might get into an accident!

Just tell her you'll let her go.

No way! Stop the car!

Please, Father. I think I'm going to puke!

- Stop the car! - Father!

Stop the car! I'll make the promise.

I think I'm going to puke.

Wait. Father! Wait!

What are you doing? Let me go!

I'll take her home.

Father, Jun is here! Everything is okay now.

Both of you come here.

Dad don't do this. You promised!

The baby might fall!

Dad. Take this off of me.

I'm really going to throw up.

Hey? Where are you going?

Father, I'm so sorry.

You!

Oh!

Stop, where are you going! Hey! Stop!

Father! I can't see! Father!

Did she finally go to Russia?

Yes. Minyong went to the airport to see her leave.

She should have left quietly. She didn't have to make a fuss.

I really don't understand her.

Minyong is more of a fool. He's such a pushover.

He would have given her the baby

if we didn't chase her on the motorcycle.

Thank goodness you caught her. But whose motorcycle was it?

Yunho...

Wait. Why were you riding a motorcycle?

Why were you riding a motorcycle at midnight?

He said he got it from a college friend.

I didn't tell them. They asked me first.

Come over here! Come here!

I told you not to ride the motorcycle!

Are you out of your mind?

- What's wrong with you? - Are you out of your mind?

Strange things are happening.

Someone is in my house!

Someone...

Someone pooped on the toilet!

Oh my gosh. Is he senile?

It's the battle of the needles!

Now. Try walking.

You shouldn't do this to me!

- It hurts. - Why can't you walk?

Father...
