High Kick! Episode 42

Can I get a bowl of noodles? Make it a super size.

This isn't a fast food place. 'Super size.' he says.

Hey, how are you these days? Are you doing okay?

Not really.

I've been sitting at home for the past five years. It's driving me insane.

Hey. I didn't know you were going to be here.

You're alive? Why is it so hard to see you?

You're the busiest person in Korea, aren't you?

Hey, hey, I'm glad you're here. I was going to call you.

Why, did you hear any inside info?

Not that.

I felt bad about last time, so I looked into a job for you.

Don't start that again.

I'm only saying this because you brought it up.

Because of you, do you know what I...

Forget it.

You can't play with people like that.

I'm sorry, but this time it's for sure.

I know someone at LK Securities.

LK? They only hire recent grads.

Yeah, but he wanted me to recommend someone with some experience.

I suggested you, and the response was pretty positive.

If it goes well, they'll call you soon.

Really?

Tomorrow? That sounds good.

I'm sorry. I have to take Jun to the hospital and I have a meeting later today.

Let's go somewhere far tomorrow, okay?

Okay, sure.

Mr. Lee called first today, too.

Let's go somewhere far tomorrow? I wonder where we're going to go.

I'm so excited.

Minjung.

Are you writing in your diary again?

What? No, I just...

I'm going to have to steal that one day.

Hey! Bohui's getting married. Did you see the invitation?

Yeah, I got one, too.

Are you going to go? It's in Suwon.

Of course.

But didn't she say she was going to study abroad?

I thought she said she didn't want to get married because she'd be abroad.

I know the inside story on that.

What happened?

This is a shotgun wedding.

A shotgun wedding?

yeah, her fiance...

He got Bohui to go to an island saying he wanted to see the ocean,

and then, you know how the story goes.

No more boats, only one room, and "you better not cross this line."

And then him crossing the line.

She probably went knowing what would happen.

Really?

I have a show that night. I guess I'll send my gift with you.

Hello? Yes, this is Lee Junha!

What? The DVD?

Yes, I'll return it.

Are you waiting for a call?

No, I'm not.

Then why did you run out with your pants down?

Well, you know. You should answer your phone when it rings.

Hello?

Shoot, I missed it.

Hello? Did someone just call?

My name is Lee Junha. What?

Oh, you dialed the wrong number?

What's with you?

You are waiting for a call, aren't you?

No, I'm not! I'm not!

He weighs less than average.

Is it because he doesn't eat enough?

It was only a tiny difference.

Do you want to get lunch before you go?

Lunch?

I have no more formula. Let's eat quickly and go home.

How are things with your new boyfriend?

What? Okay, I guess.

I have something to tell you.

What?

I'm meeting Miss Seo.

What time?

I mean, we're officially dating.

Didn't see that coming.

- You're kidding. - No.

Come on, you're kidding.

No. I went after her, so don't blame Miss Seo for anything.

- What did you do that for? - What do you mean?

She's really innocent and naive. You're going to hurt her.

I'll just have to be careful.

- Who ordered the gimchi noodles? - She did.

Enjoy your meal.

I thought I should tell you first.

Let's eat.

Why are you staring at me like that?

I'm just in shock.

I knew you were close, but I never thought you two would actually date.

I'm not saying anything about it, not that it's my place anyway...

I'm just really shocked.

Hello? This is Lee Junha!

Hello? Hello?

Yes, would you hold on a second?

Honey, what are you doing?

Nothing.

I'm home.

Did you go to the hospital? What about lunch?

I ate.

I heard you're dating Minyong.

M-my chopstick.

I just heard from him.

I'm sorry. I was going to tell you.

I just felt so bad.

You don't need to feel bad.

I can't congratulate you, but you don't need to feel bad.

I still feel bad, though.

Honestly, I'm worried about you.

W-why?

Your parents probably won't like it.

Did you tell your mom?

I didn't think that far.

That's why you worry me.

You can't fall for every guy that goes after you. You're too naive.

I'm not naive. I know everything I need to know.

You don't know anything.

Minyong isn't the nice guy you think he is.

Don't get in too deep. I'm telling you because you're my friend.

Hello?

Why are you so quiet?

I've been waiting for so long.

I'm sorry, sir.

I wish I could give you some good news.

It's not your fault. Do you have enough power?

Of course. I'm just like you. I can't control myself when it comes to food.

I ate a lot of electricity last night.

That's good. But I wonder why no one's calling.

Do you think it's because I didn't get the job?

Sir, I keep v-vibrating. What's wrong with me?

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Hello? Yes! This is Lee Junha!

This is LK Securities' human resources department.

Oh, yes! Yes!

What?

Yes, I see.

I see. Thank you.

Honey!

Junha!

Is anyone home? Where is everyone?

What's going on?

- Father! Father! - What is it?

Father! Father!

What's wrong with you? Let me down. Let me down.

What is it? What's going on?

Mom! Honey! I got a job! At LK!

- Really? - Really?

There he goes again. Are you sure?

Yes! I start tomorrow!

Oh, my boy! Oh, I'm so proud of you!

Mom!

Congratulations, honey!

How can you trust him?

You start tomorrow? Are you sure?

Yes, Father! They told me I can start tomorrow!

Stop yelling.

Okay! Father!

That's good. That's really good, Junha!

Mom! Honey!

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Oh, my goodness!

Hello? Mr. Lee. Sorry. I dropped my phone.

I thought you hung up on me.

Oh, no, no. I wouldn't do that.

Where should we go tomorrow? Is there anywhere you want to go?

Anywhere. Anywhere is fine with me.

What about Sukmo Island? We can have some fresh seafood.

Sukmo Island?

That's one of the places I've been wanting to go to for awhile.

Sukmo Island. I'd love to go there.

Yes, okay.

Sukmo Island?

Junha?

You should rest. You start work tomorrow.

I'm just cleaning out the study.

I'm throwing out everything I won't need at work.

Father's probably going to use it more than I will from now on.

You're tired, and you start work tomorrow.

Mom, once I start work, I'm going to be really busy.

I'll never have time to do this then. I should do it now while I can.

Is that right? You make me so proud.

Hey, what are you doing?

Nothing.

You're always playing games.

I'm bored.

Students don't have time to be bored.

Ask Minho if he's bored.

Reading ahead, reviewing, summaries, and study sheets. There's no time to be bored.

Sit with me. I have something to tell you guys.

You know I start work tomorrow, right?

- Yes. - Yes.

I was ashamed because all I did was sit around at home.

You guys were, too, right?

But I don't think the time we were able to spend together was bad.

I got to talk with you guys a lot,

and we got along like friends.

We even joined forces as the Invincible Bears, right?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

I'm going to get really busy.

That means I won't be able to see you or talk to you as often.

But if anything is bothering you, I want you to come to me right away, okay?

You guys are much more important to me than some job.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

- Yes. - Yes.

Okay, you two. My Brainy Bear and Good-Looking Bear.

I'm going to Sukmo Island with Mr. Lee tomorrow.

I'm really excited...

Sukmo Island is an island.

An island?

He got Bohui to go to an island to look at the ocean,

and then, you know how the story goes.

No more boats, only one room,

and "you better not cross this line."Then him crossing the line.

Sukmo Island?

There are so many places we could've gone. Why did he pick an island?

Could he...

What do we do? There are no more boats.

It's not like we can swim back.

And this is the only room left.

You understand, don't you, Miss Seo?

What? Yes.

Should I lay out the blankets?

Oh, my! Mr. Lee! What are you doing?

Me? Why do you think I suggested we go to an island?

Didn't you come knowing what I was thinking?

What do I know? I don't know anything.

What are you doing?

You mean you followed me to an island without suspecting this at all?

Come here!

Oh, no, no! Mr. Lee!

No, Mr. Lee's not like that.

Minyong isn't the nice guy you think he is.

Don't get in too deep. I'm telling you because you're my friend.

No way...

That's not what she means by that, is it?

I'm as average as the next girl. Stop thinking you don't measure up!

Does he really think I'm like the average girl?

No, no. No way. He wouldn't.

- Honey. - Yes?

- Thank you. - For what?

I know how pathetic I must've looked. Thank you for always believing in me.

Of course I believe in you. Isn't it a given?

Still. I always wanted to say this to you if I ever began working again.

My wish finally came true.

Go to sleep. What's wrong?

I can't sleep.

I'm worried about how Junha will do. I'm nervous.

I feel like I'm leaving him stranded.

Even though he looked pathetic lying around the house all the time,

he'll do well once he gets out there.

Don't worry. Go to sleep.

You're right.

Of course I am.

Be careful. Don't make any mistakes.

Don't worry, Mom.

Okay, okay.

Mom, come on. Don't do that.

Honey, you'll do fine.

Get a feel for the place, and put yourself out there.

- Okay? - Okay.

- Good luck, Dad. - You can do it, Dad!

Okay, I'm off now. I better hurry.

- Have a good day. - Thanks.

- Bye, Dad. - Okay, bye.

- Good luck! - Good luck!

Junha.

Dad, what are you doing here? It's cold.

- Are you going to work? - Yes.

Don't make silly mistakes.

Don't worry.

Take this in case of an emergency.

You'll probably have to treat someone.

- I have money. - Just take it.

I better go.

Go on, don't be late.

Have some coffee. I just bought it.

Okay, thank you.

Are you ready to go? Don't forget your seatbelt.

Okay.

Yeah, Mr. Lee is too gentlemanly to do anything like that.

Minjung, you're being silly.

That's ridiculous. Yeah.

Is there something on my face?

What? No.

Well, there's something on yours. You have some rice over there.

What?

Excuse me. I was eating in a hurry.

It's okay.

Mother, what is all this?

It's Junha's first day at work. He should have a hearty dinner.

You're preparing a feast.

A feast? Well, yes it is. This is a big thing for our family.

I had to stop myself from making rice cake and passing it out to the neighbors.

Is there anything I can help with?

No, it's okay. You should go down to the hospital.

Then I'll buy some champagne and cake.

Go ahead.

I wonder how he's doing. I keep having negative thoughts.

I'm so nervous.

I'm sure he's doing fine. Don't worry too much.

This will be your desk from now on.

You can use the computer right away,

and your personal laptop will be ready for you next week.

Okay.

This is a list of new stocks. Analyze it and turn in a report.

Okay.

I can do this.

The computer...

Hey. What just happened?

Why are you turning off my computer?

Your computer is on the left.

- What? - Shoot, now I have to do everything again.

I know it's your first day, but watch what you're doing.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Wow, this is really good. What is it?

It's red snapper. It's good, right? It tastes different from what you get in Seoul.

It really does.

You checked the boat schedule, right?

The last boat is at 8:00 P.M. We'll be fine if we're at the dock 30 minutes before.

Okay.

Yeah, Mr. Lee wouldn't do that.

This is the report on the new stocks you wanted.

Is something wrong?

No.

It's good. It's well-organized, with good summaries of the important aspects.

I have a toothache. You can go back to work.

Okay.

I was being silly.

I knew Mr. Lee wasn't like that.

Did you get the tickets?

- We're in trouble. - What?

I was wrong about the boat schedule.

The last one is at 8:00 P.M. on weekends. On weekdays, it's at 7:00 P.M.

What? Then what do we do?

What do we do? We have no choice.

We'll have to stay the night, and take the first boat back tomorrow.

What?

Why do you look so shocked? It's not like I said we should sleep together.

I'll go look for rooms. It's not peak season, so there should be plenty.

Oh, right.

I shouldn't overreact.

It's not summer vacation, so there should be lots of rooms.

You're overreacting, Minjung.

Oh, boy.

What? No way...

There are no rooms.

What?

A company's holding a conference here.

I went everywhere, but there are no rooms.

What do we do then? There isn't just one room left, is there?

Yes, there's exactly one room left.

What?

It's actually the hostel owner's room.

I said we'd take it. Let's go in.

We can't spend the night in the car.

Why isn't he coming home?

He should've been done a long time ago. Do you think something happened?

Stop talking nonsense.

He'll come home when he's done.

Yes, Mother. Don't worry too much.

Why isn't he coming? Should I try calling him?

He must be busy. Don't bother him.

Yes, don't bother him.

What if he's not busy? What if something...

I'm home.

How was work?

Mom, my boss said I did a good job on my first report.

That's great! Good job. Are you cold?

No. What's all this? What's going on?

Your mother made it all. To congratulate you.

It's a surprise feast. Are you surprised?

Oh, Mom.

Wash up and come out!

If it's too uncomfortable for you, I'll sleep outside.

How are you going to do that?

It should be okay if I sleep in the car.

But it's so cold.

It is cold, isn't it?

- Have a seat. - Okay.

Do you want to wash up first? Or should I?

What? Wash up? Why? Why would you wash up?

Do you sleep without washing up first?

What?

Oh, right. You can go first.

Okay.

What do I do?

What does he want?

He can't...

No, there's no way.

But Mr. Lee is still a man, and they say all men are the same.

That's how he had Jun...

No, no, no!

- Congratulations, Dad! - Congratulations, Junha.

What is all this? It's embarrassing.

What better reason to celebrate is there?

Blow out the candles so we can eat.

Thanks, everyone.

Hold it! You can't just blow it out. Give a little speech.

Oh, come on.

- Speech! - Speech!

- Yes, say something. - Go ahead, say something.

Well, okay.

I want to thank you all first.

Thank you for this dinner to celebrate with me.

I've been a bad son, a bad husband, and a bad father for a long time.

It's been tough for me, too.

I say this now, but just eating and doing nothing

was a pretty pathetic existence.

If someone told me to go back to that life, I don't think I ever would.

In any case, I'm so glad and thankful

that seemingly endless tunnel has ended. Thank you.

We know.

Yunho, what are you doing? The champagne.

Yes.

It's not opening.

Yes, hello?

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir. Yes.

What?

I'm so sorry.

We wanted to take you with us, but...

LK is being taken over. The decision was just announced.

Even old employees are at risk now. I'm sorry.

I see.

Yes.

I understand. Yes.

Yes, yes.

Good night. Okay.

What? What happened?

Father...

I got fired again.

The company's being sold.

This time I really didn't do anything wrong.

I didn't do it! It happened by itself!

Honey, it's okay. Things happen.

Right? Mother?

Yes, this is better. Who wants to work at a company?

It's a hundred times better at home. It's fine.

Come on, stop thinking about it. Let's just eat.

Look, it's everything you like. Your mother made it all.

I wonder how much he'll eat tonight. Are you sure you made enough?

Of course. Junha, let's eat. Hurry up and blow out the candles.

You had a long day today.

- Minho, turn off the lights. - Okay.

What are you doing? We're going to starve to death.

Blow it out.

Honey, blow out the candles. Let's eat.

Man...

Blanket?

It's time for bed. Aren't you going to sleep?

What? Sleep? Mr. Lee.

We should sleep. I'll sleep over there. You can sleep inside the blanket.

Okay.

Miss Seo, are you sleeping?

What do I do? What do I do?

Please don't come near me.

It's okay if I sit here, right?

Of course.

Oh, some of the customers are combining rooms.

Should I let you know if an empty room becomes available?

That would be great.

Okay, then.

Just wait here a bit.

I'll go and I'll let you know as soon as a room is free.

Okay.

Oh, great. Another blackout.

They're doing construction near the generator.

Don't worry. The lights should come back on soon.

Okay.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Why did he turn off the lights?

Mr. Lee, what are you doing? Move your feet, please.

Mr. Lee.

I like you, too. But this isn't right.

I think you may have misunderstood me. I'm not just an average girl.

I feel really uncomfortable right now.

Mr. Lee? Mr. Lee?

Why are you doing this? Please move your feet.

Mr. Lee, I like you, too. But this just isn't right.

Mr. Lee, please.

If you keep doing this, I'm really going to be disappointed.

Mr. Lee, were you always like this?

I didn't think you were. That's why I liked you.

If I knew you were this type of guy, I never would have liked you.

Mr. Lee.
