How come it's taking longer than the expected time?

It's been over two hours.

She will be fine.

(Seoul Yusim Hospital)

Doctor.

You must have been so worried.

The location of the tumor wasn't that bad.

It took longer because...

we were trying to remove as much tumor as possible.

The surgery went well.

She was so brave.

Okay.

Well done, Professor Lee.

It went well, so you have nothing to worry about.

When she's ready, we'll move her to the ICU.

We'll keep an eye on her overnight.

Let's talk more tomorrow.

- Okay. - Okay.

Oh, right. During the surgery,

we had to check her speech center.

So we asked her to make a sentence...

with three words. They were Mom, my, and love.

Then she said...

What's this?

Apple.

Puppy.

Let's make a sentence with these three words.

Mom,

my, and love.

Hyo Ri?

My mom...

is...

my first love.

That made my heart pound.

Thank you.

Thank you.

(Episode 12: To All of Our First Love)

(Seoul Yusim Hospital)

I drove Dr. Jeong home...

and told her to come back once Hyo Ri was in a regular room.

I told you to go and get some rest too.

Staying by your side is the only place I want to be.

Don't tell me to leave.

Jeong Seok.

When...

Hyo Ri told me she had a headache,

I told her to take painkillers.

I told her to take painkillers and study.

I said everyone endures the pain...

while studying just like her.

I scolded her for having a weak mind.

I'm an awful mother, aren't I?

What do you think about this bicycle?

I'm thinking of buying a bicycle for Hyo Ri.

She can go far on the bicycle for her walk.

And it's a good exercise too.

Oh, right. Let's look into a car too.

You can drive it for hospital visits.

When Hyo Ri recovers,

she might want to go on a trip. Right?

What a fool.

I'm talking about myself.

I should be thinking about things Hyo Ri is going to need.

Look at me, talking about the past I can't turn back.

I'm wasting my energy.

Hyo Ri must be fighting her battle...

to come back to us.

But her mother is talking about what happened in the past.

I'm such a fool.

Being an adult is hard.

Being a parent is harder.

Whether it's saving face or pretending,

being a parent...

makes us think again...

and hold ourselves back again.

That's not being foolish, but being honest.

This is how we're slowly becoming true parents.

Hyo Ri is going to wake up, no matter what.

Why point out the obvious?

I won't cry. If I do, it will drain Hyo Ri's energy.

You can cry.

Hyo Ri will come back to you no matter what anyway.

(Are you all right? Let's hang in there.)

Jeong Seok.

Seon Yeong is crying.

She's crying.

She must be crying.

- Are you Ms. Lee Hyo Ri's guardian? - Yes.

We'll move her to a regular room now.

- Jeong Seok. - Yes?

- Get the doctor. - Okay.

- Mom. - Yes, Hyo Ri.

It's me.

It's me.

It's okay. If it's hard, you don't have to talk.

- Mom. - Yes.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm...

Yes?

I'm...

seeing...

(Authorized Personnel Only)

What if I can't see you again?

I'm...

seeing you again.

Hold on. Let me check.

Ms. Lee, can you recognize who I am?

- Can you keep checking her vitals? - Okay.

Hyo Ri.

After the surgery, she developed a speech abnormality.

She didn't speak unless it was absolutely necessary.

She avoided meeting people too.

It seemed as though she was gradually collapsing.

("Seasonal Essays" by Park Jun)

(The lighthouse at the end of the world 4)

(When misfortune rushed toward us, we covered each other's eyes.)

"When misfortune..."

"rushed..."

"We..."

"covered..."

I'm waiting. Take your time.

(The lighthouse at the end of the world 4)

You're...

my lighthouse.

I miss you.

You're also my lighthouse.

You're not going to read the letters.

Tell me the color of the card. Okay?

I'll practice alone.

All right. Start.

Yellow-green.

Good job.

Here.

Red.

Correct.

Pink.

Yellow.

Well done.

What's that?

Ta-da.

These are Angelica-trees...

Village Chief Go picked in the mountains.

They're rare.

I was just out and about...

in the mountains when I spotted them...

and picked them up.

We picked the prettiest ones for Hyo Ri.

Thank you so much. We'll enjoy them.

- What's that? - Hi.

We made a custom board just for Hyo Ri.

Gosh, yes.

Exercise is all about the gear,

so when you upgrade it,

it really motivates you.

You're totally right.

Hyo Ri is right here. And Bo Hyeon is here.

Dong Seok wants you to let Hyo Ri know...

he worked the hardest on it.

Great.

- Yes. - Yes.

But is this really the best he could do?

- It's not bad. - He did his best.

Yet...

no one doubted that...

everyone's determination never to leave her alone in the dark...

Someone like me is the real deal, you know?

Don't you agree, Hyo Ri?

It...

Together...

with her own efforts to find normalcy...

by following the faint light,

Got lost.

Would ultimately meet...

with genuine sincerity.

(Seoul Yusim Hospital)

Every time we stepped into the hospital,

a deep sense of urgency about life filled us up.

Each time we left,

we were filled with gratitude...

simply for being alive. Through those repeated moments,

we awakened...

our awareness of life...

and endured.

"But the problem isn't where we live."

"It's who we live with."

"That is the crucial element..."

"that makes life truly meaningful."

"From now on, wherever I may be,"

"I want to strive..."

"to be a good neighbor."

- Hyo Ri! - Yes?

Have your healthy juice.

- Thank you. - Of course.

"I normally keep a comfortable distance,"

"but when summer is in full swing,"

"with chilled cheongju in one hand..."

"and something like pickled cucumbers in the other..."

Hold on.

Why don't we create a set called...

"One Sip of Summer..."

with chilled cheongju and pickled cucumbers...

and sell it?

- That sounds good. - Yes.

- It's creative. - Right?

- Yes. - This is exactly why...

people should read.

Thanks to Hyo Ri, you might even say that reading is your hobby,

even if you barely finished a book each year before.

What nonsense is that?

I've been...

reading fashion magazines for years.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Dr. Jeong.

Hyo Ri, are you going to Seoul today?

Yes, with our Bo Hyeon.

Some might think you gave birth to him.

- Really, our Bo Hyeon? - My Bo Hyeon.

Your Bo Hyeon, is it?

Dr. Jeong.

Dr. Jeong.

Have your healthy juice.

Gosh, my body's really stiff today for some reason.

No.

Come now, let's begin.

Raise your arms.

Relax your shoulders.

Straighten your back.

- It feels good. - Pull your back up.

Now, to the left.

Ji An, don't stick your head too close to your arms.

Okay, fold your right leg over.

Straighten your back, Ji An.

My back... Arms go here.

Turn.

Mimi.

- Hey. - Hi.

We picked this corn this morning.

Have some for yourself.

Please sell the rest.

It's ten dollars for a dozen.

You won't make a dime.

Make it ten.

- Is that so? - Let's have a look.

- Ten dollars for ten? - Yes, ten.

Mr. Ryu is here.

What's this? Do you have eyes in the back of your head?

How did you know?

Her Chinese zodiac isn't just a dog.

She's a Shepherd.

You're here for milk, right?

Take the ones in the fridge.

Weren't those delivered today?

Seriously, you're way too quick to notice things.

Those aren't all that different from the ones in the fridge.

But the ones from today are fresher.

They say losing a regular customer is scarier...

than a first-time customer visiting.

You're so much fun to be around, being so smart.

You're delivering them to Hyo Ri's, right?

I guess...

this is what people mean when they say late bloomers can be intense.

I'm not a late boomer. She was my first love.

My first love I met after 30 years.

First love. I knew it.

I sensed the two were far from ordinary.

First, what?

First love.

Do you know what it is? First love.

As if I wouldn't know that.

Don't worry if you don't.

I'm sure your first love was around the time of the Korean War.

I...

I was born in 1958, the Year of the Dog, okay?

You joke too much just because I'm too nice.

I can tell you were born in 1946, the Year of the Dog.

He's funny.

Hey! My niece was born in 1970, the Year of the Dog.

People think we're the same age.

I'm serious, okay?

He's the cheekiest person on the planet.

The world's best.

If you keep this up, you'll make me upset.

There's never been a time I didn't keep my promise.

No.

What?

A rising sun? That's bad manners, you know?

It's my strategy, not bad manners.

Go.

Come on.

Good grief.

What a bummer.

Yes.

It hurts.

Where does it hurt?

My knees have been acting up lately.

Goodness.

I'm fine.

(For your joints)

Have this.

Why are you whispering?

It's Auntie Seon Yeong's.

She's been taking these...

for her sore joints.

Keep it down.

Two pills.

If you want to keep gaming with me for years,

look after your joints.

You're the only person who truly looks out for me.

She'll figure it out...

if I leave this here,

so I'll take this with me.

Hey.

What were you two up to?

I bet the milk is only an excuse.

You came over to game with Hyo Ri.

Of course not.

He goes out of his way to get us milk,

so how could you say that?

Milk has nutrients that help kids get taller.

Exactly, and I need to grow taller.

Right.

We can turn it off. Let's do that.

- We'll stop gaming. - Sure.

- She's gone. - I know.

Let's keep it down.

All right.

Bo Hyeon.

Gosh, hi.

I made it myself.

It wasn't Seon Yeong.

No wonder.

Is it good?

These bibim noodles taste like bibim noodles.

Was I hearing a backhanded compliment,

or is it just my low self-esteem?

Bibim noodles tasting like bibim noodles...

is high praise.

I see.

You should know that your dad is gaming with Hyo Ri again.

Wouldn't you call that gaming addiction?

You know, his eyes twinkle when he's gaming.

He needs an intervention.

I'll limit his phone time...

and put his computer in the living room.

Let's go shopping next week.

We'll go alone without telling your dad.

Going shopping with your dad drives you up the wall.

He tries on everything in the store.

Tell me about it. It's not that bad when he buys something,

but when he doesn't...

My words exactly.

So we'll go alone.

Sure.

When you drive to Seoul later,

take breaks on the way.

Don't fight the drowsiness...

just to look macho.

Got it.

This is incredible.

Look at you eat. It must really be good.

How can it be this good?

- Finish the whole thing. - Got it.

I'll make you more some other time.

More?

Are you waiting for Bo Hyeon?

Yes.

You must be going someplace nice.

Well...

I wanted to visit my old university.

Hyo Ri.

Do you know why I became a doctor?

It's all because I got incredible grades.

Medicine was a career for me,

and I lived my life doing the best I could.

But when retirement grew near,

I realized I was far from being a healer.

I kept asking why,

but I only found the answer...

when I became a patient myself.

As a doctor, I overlooked something important.

The defeated nature of patients.

I thought that giving them the best answers I could...

was the best treatment,

but I was wrong.

First,

I should've understood...

the devastation and sense of defeat in patients.

Understanding the vague fear patients carry...

should be the starting point...

of communication between doctors and patients.

That's exactly...

why you won't be the same as me.

That'll be all,

since I'm an evolved boomer...

who knows not to take it too far.

I guess it went well.

How did you know?

I like you a lot, you know.

I can tell by the look on your face.

- The dean asked... - Yes?

If I wanted to come back, knowing how difficult this path is.

- He asked if I wouldn't regret it. - Right.

So I replied...

that I desperately need this harsh,

demanding everyday life,

and that I believe I can do better this time.

Good for you.

Who cares if this isn't the correct answer?

You can try answering it again.

Right?

That's not the same as regretting.

Besides, I uncovered a secret of life...

that few people know.

Hardships are not meant...

to be fought and conquered.

You just need to accept that hardships are part of life...

and figure out...

how you'll handle them.

You shouldn't do this.

You're making it hard on me...

by making my heart skip a beat.

So, when are you telling your mom?

Soon.

I didn't want her waiting with her hopes up.

Her heart had endured enough because of me already.

Your mom will love it.

- Really? - Yes.

That being said, I also have something to say.

I'm going to study.

I've spent the past two years...

looking into classes in Berlin...

that cover what I want to learn about landscaping.

After the school reviewed my portfolio,

they told me to send an application.

I'll head there early to study the language...

and apply for the next semester.

Watching you make such a strong decision...

gives me confidence.

You, Bo Hyeon.

Flower, tree,

garden, and soil.

You shine the most when you talk about those things.

I know you'll enjoy your time studying there.

I'm happy for you.

Are you upset now that we'll be apart?

No.

Actually, I'm really upset.

Likewise.

But this is right.

Shall we get going?

Sure.

No way, look at them grow.

Right? We didn't even have to do much.

Aren't you just proud of them?

How can they be this clever?

Someone said that was the way of nature.

Come on.

You're emotionally so barren.

I wonder how you'll manage...

in the 21st century, ruled by emotional intelligence.

I have no idea.

- Is that all you need? - We're done. Let's go.

Mom.

I want to go back to school.

What?

I looked into a way to get back into the program...

and met with the dean at the university today.

No. It will be too much for your health.

Mom.

I'm doing this for my life.

To have a good life, actually.

You know how demanding the medical program is.

Mom, I really want to do it.

"Will I be able to do a good job? Will it be too much on me?"

Those are the last of my concerns.

I really want to do it.

I just want to do my best to learn...

and share my learning with others. That's what I want to do.

I won't neglect my health.

I have you by my side.

Bo Hyeon, Aunt Seon Yeong, Dr. Jeong, and Jeong Seok.

I won't neglect my health for the sakes of the people I love.

I'll treasure it.

You won't change your mind no matter what I say, right?

No.

Gosh, you're just like me.

I trust you.

But I knew you would support my decision.

Mom.

Could you accompany me somewhere this Sunday?

Oh, right. Suk is coming over tomorrow.

Why? Does she miss my scolding?

Let's have fruits.

Let's have some fruits. Where's Dr. Jeong?

Dr. Jeong. Have some fruits!

- Dr. Jeong. - Nice. Apples.

Come and have some. They're so good.

- Dr. Jeong, have some apples. - Okay.

It's so good.

- Well, - Yes.

There's something I want to tell you.

I'm going to return to Seoul now.

Thank you for everything.

I ought to go back to my place.

I put my house on the market.

I'm looking for a house in Seoul...

where I can get medical assistant just in case.

Why?

Why are you suddenly going back to Seoul?

Hyo Ri is doing much better.

If I stay here,

I might end up becoming a burden on you guys later.

Dr. Jeong.

- This is where you belong. - Yes.

What we have is more than just some bond.

We saved each other.

We lean on and support each other.

It's nothing like those blood relations people are born with.

For hard-earned relationships like ours,

forged through all kinds of small...

and big life's ordeals...

What do people call that? What's that called?

- It's irrevocable. - That?

This kind of relationship...

can't survive without deep love.

Since we love each other, it's irrevocable. Right?

Of course.

Even if I stay here...

It's because we love you.

It's not about gratitude, guilt,

- or moral principles. - Right.

We want you to stay...

- because we love you so much. - Right.

- So keep living with us. - Yes.

Dr. Jeong, you know us well. Right?

Pushing off things or saving for the right moment...

is foolish when you love someone.

It's super foolish.

We love each other.

Let's have a fun life together with our loved ones.

If you can't stand living with us and it's uncomfortable for you,

we can't stop you then.

What?

Is that the reason?

Is that so?

No. Gosh, no way.

Well...

My gosh. I also...

love you very much.

She just confessed her feelings.

Isn't that your first confession?

Didn't your heart skip a beat?

Once that happens,

there's no going back.

There's no going back.

I can't let you go, Dr. Jeong. I won't.

- Hold her tight. Don't leave. - I'll hug you.

I'm going to cry.

Don't leave. Why would you leave?

Don't leave.

You're going to make me cry.

Seriously. Why would you do that?

Come on. Don't leave.

- Can I cry? - Yes, Village Chief Go.

What?

I mean...

Of course. We can totally do that.

What is it?

(Cheonghae Association Executives' Get-Together)

Seon Yeong, what else do I need to serve?

I need to finish up the skate dish. I'll give it to you in a second.

There you go. All done.

- Welcome. - My gosh.

Where should we sit?

- Over here. - My gosh.

- Here? - Gosh.

- Hello. - Hello.

Gosh, Ji An.

My gosh. I love it.

- Village Chief Go. - Hey.

- Sit down. - This is great.

- Please sit here, Village Chief Go. - What a gentleman.

- All right. - Oh, my.

Isn't it good?

Isn't the food great?

Enjoy your food.

If you need anything. feel free to tell us.

Sure.

Enjoy.

I hope the food is to your liking.

The food tastes great and clean.

- Okay. - This is great.

We only add natural seasoning when we cook.

So the flavors might be slightly subtle.

But we devoted our time and effort to these dishes.

All right.

Are you saying that because we live in the countryside?

Are you afraid we can't tell the difference?

We know just by tasting it.

The chef is very talented.

- That's right. - Right.

- That's right. - Yes.

Steamed eggs are on the house.

These are only for our village celebrity.

This looks good.

You can thank me. It's only for the VIP.

- Thank you, ma'am. - Okay.

You're the best, ma'am.

(Cheonghae Association Executives' Get-Together)

- Dig in. - Okay.

How many people made reservations before leaving today?

The women's association from Gwanseol-ri.

The youth group from Dongcheol-ri.

The village chief meeting from Man-ri... One, two...

- Five group reservations. - Five?

- Five? - This is amazing.

Hey, we must show our gratitude.

We ought to treat Village Chief Go to a great meal.

Call her now. Right?

Suk is here.

I'm off.

Hey, we're having a wild wrap party today.

- Don't call us. - I won't.

- Don't wait up. - Sure. Okay.

Gosh, I can't believe this. We have five group reservations.

She's wearing a hairpin.

She must've done that for Jae Dong, right?

- Hey! - Suk!

- Hey. - Hey.

Hey, you've gotten so strong.

- I have, right? - Yes.

Hey.

- Hi. - Hey, come on.

Are you here to pick me up?

Did you miss me? Hey.

Were you waiting for me?

What took you so long?

Sorry.

My gosh, Dong Seok. What was that?

I've heard of people staring at the water and campfire.

But I've never been so captivated...

by watching someone grill meat like this.

Gosh, you're good.

Don't fall for it.

She's inflating your ego.

She just wants to eat a lot of meat.

She's using you.

- Hey. - What?

She catches on way too fast.

I'll go and get some ice cream.

- You want some, right? - Yes.

I should go and pick the one I want.

- Where are you going? - To buy ice cream.

- Okay. Be back soon. - Okay.

When are you leaving, Bo Hyeon?

Gosh, I already miss him.

Shouldn't they go on a trip to say goodbye?

He shouldn't. He gets indigestion on trips.

I got indigestion for the first time that day.

I never had indigestion until that day.

Right.

You couldn't have gotten it...

because you were nervous and worried. Right?

Hey, it's fine.

You guys already kissed.

Things will happen naturally at the right moment...

- Hey. - Hey.

Look at them.

Gosh, they're acting so innocent.

Is kissing a bad thing? Is it?

Kissing isn't a crime.

- They're back. - Hey, Jae Dong.

Jae Dong, when was your last kiss?

Kiss?

- What's wrong with him? - What?

What?

- Hey. - Hey.

- What? - Seriously?

Look at his face getting red.

Why are you touching your lips?

Hold on. They're swollen.

- Just now! - You just grill the meat already.

- Suk. - Gosh, seriously.

- Suk. - Enough is enough.

- Suk. - I won't answer any questions.

- Hey. - Just grill the meat.

- His ears are getting red. - Hey, am I not allowed to date?

- I'm the baddest - I'm the baddest

- You're the baddest! - I'm the baddest

(Ryu Jeong Seok)

Jeong Seok, I'm at karaoke.

A CEO can't leave first.

That's not being professional.

Yes, I'm totally fine.

Drinks? Maybe 2 or 3 glasses.

I don't remember.

But why is your face as red as a beet?

No, you're mistaken.

It's menopause making me flush, not the drinks.

Come out.

Hyo Ri is going back to school.

And Bo Hyeon is going to study abroad.

It's going to get lonely.

Hyo Ri and Bo Hyeon will support each other and do well.

After all, it's their life.

We should just quietly cheer them on from a distance.

Jeong Seok.

Living an extraordinary life...

has often felt burdensome.

But it seems there's no single definition...

of what an ordinary life is.

One way or another, I'm the one in charge of my life.

I decide what "ordinary" means for me.

I don't know why I tried to follow others' definition.

Am I part of your life?

Because of you, my life is shining.

Look at you.

Acting all drunk and flirting with me.

By the way,

our walk today is a bit out of the way.

How is it out of the way? We always take this road.

All the lights are on too.

"Out of the way?"

Does it feel creepy?

There are no people around.

Only mosquitoes are buzzing around.

Gosh, you're so naughty.

I feel dizzy.

It's not like I can let you down.

Be careful. Let's take a seat for a second.

- What's with you? - Careful.

Goodness.

- Okay. - I'm the best

I'm the best

Gosh, I'm dizzy.

- You better not. - Oh, dear.

Goodness.

Guys, I'm drunk. I'm going home.

You two can drink more.

I look drunk, right?

No way. That much drink...

isn't even an appetizer for you.

And where can I find that appetizer?

I told you, your body is a deadly weapon.

If you know, let's go. After all, I'm the best.

Let's go.

Let's go, Woo Seok.

- Be careful on your way home. - I'm the best

All right. Shall we...

go to that cart bar... No.

There's a really nice coffee shop...

nearby.

Cute.

What do you mean my ears are cut?

I have them on both sides.

I even have a nose.

- You're right. - I've got teeth as well.

- I have eyes too. - This won't do.

- All right. Up you go. - I have them, okay?

- We... - I've got my ears.

- Okay, sorry. - That's nonsense.

- Our chef with both ears. - Stop it.

- It's okay. - Okay.

- Let's go home. - Okay, let's go to your home.

Here.

- Drink. - Thank you.

Bottoms up.

- Thank you. - I'll take it.

Do you talk to your mom often these days?

Treat her well.

See her as often as you can.

You really should.

If she ever comes to our house,

I'll make the most delicious food...

- Oh, no. - My gosh.

- Tae O. - Yes?

Your move just now.

Don't you think it was a bit unnatural?

Maybe or maybe not, depending on...

how you look at it.

Maybe, depending on how you look at it.

It hurts.

You've been acting like a real monkey lately.

I'm not. I'm just showing how I feel about you.

You're doing what?

I like you.

Wait for me.

What?

No.

What?

No. Stop.

- Bye! - What's that?

- See you at the restaurant! - For real?

I'm being dead serious!

I really like you!

Bye!

- That's nice. - Bye!

Seriously. Does he think he's Sun Jae?

Gosh, I ate too much meat. My stomach feels...

Do you feel bloated? Should I get you some medicine?

No, I'll sleep well since it's full.

I see.

I'm going to transfer to a nursing school.

Are you serious?

I've been thinking about it ever since you went to medical school.

But I didn't have the courage.

I feel like I can do it now.

Nice, right?

When you become a doctor and I become a nurse,

let's do a lot of good, okay?

Suk.

What a wench.

What about me? What am I supposed to do?

Let's see. You can be...

The counseling director.

Wait.

That's new.

- Do you like it? - Yes.

Can you help me...

get an estimate...

for a nose job?

I'm not joking.

How about the department of urology?

You little...

If you like it...

There's some chili powder in your braces.

- Really? - Come on.

- Did you brush your teeth? - No.

Are you busy?

No. All the flowers have been sent off. What is it?

Nothing. I was just passing by.

Aren't you busy, Dad?

Me being busy...

is nothing new.

What?

Are you sad that I'm leaving?

Gosh.

Sad, my foot.

You'll come back during the breaks,

and you won't be staying there forever.

There's nothing to be sad about.

Exactly, so don't worry, Dad.

Goodness.

I'm not worried.

I'm sure you'll do fine.

And your mom will be around.

No, listen.

I'll be thinking about you a lot, so don't worry.

I won't let you feel lonely.

Dad.

If you realize how much I care about you,

you'll cry.

Father,

if you find out how much of a rock you've been for me,

you'll cry.

Same here.

(The late Han Cho Rong)

I figured you'd be worried,

so I came to say I'm all right.

I came by to tell you I'm doing great.

I'm also back in school.

I bet you're proud.

This must've been extremely hard for her,

but to spare me the heartache...

My gosh.

She didn't let it show.

Actually, she did.

She was fussy and often threw tantrums.

But we made it here, despite how mean she was.

Mom,

you're a great mother.

You're a great mom,

an inspiring adult,

and a good person.

I probably put you through many hardships and heartaches,

but you never gave up on me.

When things got tough, you didn't let me get lonely,

and you held on to me tightly.

You were around my age at that time.

I wouldn't have been able to make the same choice,

so I wanted to thank you for protecting me.

I've always wanted to tell you that.

And...

Also...

Thank you.

(The late Han Cho Rong)

Thank you for giving me...

another great mom.

(The late Han Cho Rong)

Darn it.

Unbelievable. What's wrong with me? Wait.

Why did I avoid him just now?

Did I do something wrong?

Unbelievable.

Seon Yeong, are you lonely?

Are you?

So what if he has a hot body...

and he's cute and sweet?

There are plenty of men like that.

Don't be silly.

Get a grip on yourself.

Hey.

You must be going somewhere.

Sure.

Yes, I should be going somewhere.

Right.

I'll see you tomorrow, then.

Sure, bye.

Sous Chef!

I can't believe you.

Why aren't you being clingy?

- What? - If you're going to bark up a tree,

at least do it three times.

I didn't take you...

for someone who lacks tenacity.

Should I be clingy?

That's up to you.

Then,

I'll speak casually to you now,

Seon Yeong.

What you decide to do is up to you.

Button up that shirt.

Oh, sure.

Whatever.

What on earth?

Let's go.

- Where to? - I'll go wherever you go.

What do you mean you'll follow me anywhere?

(Hanguk University Hospital, Lee Hyo Ri)

Hello.

Hello.

(Hanguk University Hospital, Lee Hyo Ri)

You're kind of in the OR, but not really.

Just make sure you stay out of the way.

- Sure. - Of course.

Hello, Professor.

What? Why you...

Hello, Professor.

Each year, a few students...

end up passing out in the OR.

Let me remind you once more.

Quit if you can't handle it.

Got it?

Scalpel.

Oh, no.

Darn.

I knew it.

Focus.

Ms. Lee Hyo Ri.

You may go in.

Speech comes naturally to you now, doesn't it?

Yes.

Have you experienced any other symptoms,

such as headaches, convulsions,

fatigue, or memory loss?

None that stands out.

Well...

There's some swelling in certain areas,

which is a common effect of radiation treatment.

There's nothing to suggest a relapse...

at the tumor site or nearby areas.

Your hard work paid off.

Thank you, Doctor.

I heard you went back to med school.

Yes.

You'll learn along the way,

but healing isn't only up to doctors.

Half of it is in the patient's hands.

Thank you for trusting me enough...

to keep our promises and follow the program.

Thank you.

- Ms. Jang So Yeon. - Here.

- Dr. Jeong. - Hey.

Why are you here when you're obviously busy?

Aren't you taking the red-eye today?

I have a little time.

What did your doctor say?

My numbers have improved,

so I should lower my medication.

That's a good thing.

What about you?

I believe my recovery is also going smoothly.

It seems we're getting along...

with our unwanted guests quite well.

- Wouldn't you agree? - Right.

How's training at the hospital?

It's tough,

but not tough.

Soo A.

Don't worry.

You'll be all right after the surgery.

He's a famous doctor.

How do you know that?

I'll be okay after the surgery?

How will I be okay?

Who can guarantee that I'll live with the surgery?

Soo A!

I'm not getting the surgery.

I'll just do whatever I want...

with the rest of my life and then die.

I don't want to push myself anymore.

As if that changes anything.

So I'm going to die...

living a mundane life.

Are you scared?

(Bang Soo A)

I'm not scared.

I was so scared that...

I wanted to run away.

I was in your shoes a year ago.

- Why me? - "Why did this..."

"happen to me?"

It didn't feel fair.

It felt like my whole world was bleak.

So...

it's okay to cry.

If you want to cry, you can.

But just enough that it doesn't tire you out.

I can promise you...

that despite the ordeal,

a new world will come to you...

and you will be much stronger and cooler.

Getting sick is bad luck. It's not our fault.

But luck and bad luck...

come as a set.

You can cry all you want.

But not to the point that you miss out on your luck.

We'll meet again.

I'll see you around.

Guys, it's been 30 minutes.

Just let them be. They're crazy in love.

Even so, doing that for 30 minutes isn't cool.

This isn't cool.

Watch out for Jennie.

Who's Jennie?

It's a symbolic name.

Be careful around other women.

I told you not to be so cute.

Gosh, if you're this cute...

What am I going to do? I already miss you. Seriously.

Come on.

Could you please...

Don't worry about him. I'll take good care of him.

- And Hyo Ri too. - Yes.

Don't worry about anything.

Study hard and come back with top grades. Okay?

Okay.

Are you serious? "Top grades?"

It's a symbolic phrase.

Hey, you'll be late. Go on.

My gosh.

- I'll get going. - Go.

Don't worry about anything. Believe in yourself.

I'll believe in myself too.

I won't be scared.

- Don't be scared. - Got it.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Call me.

(Republic of Korea, Passport)

Guys, it's been 30 minutes.

Watch out for Charles.

You meant it symbolically, right?

Don't let them see your cute side.

That might be hard.

But I'll do my best.

All right.

It's time to get going soon.

Let's go.

- Hyo Ri. - Yes.

Our trip is only for a week.

But I'll take good care of her.

So don't worry.

Please let us go now.

At this rate, we'll miss our flight.

Let's go.

Why is this so heavy?

I packed dried sweet potatoes,

dried monkfish, and nurungji.

If we get homesick on our trip abroad,

we'll try to overcome it with traditional Korean snacks.

- Bye. - It's only for a week.

Why would we get homesick?

- Here I go. - Let's go.

- Bye. - Bye.

We're late. Come on, let's go.

- Over there. - There it is.

Look.

That's so cool.

Perhaps, all of our first love...

may be our mom.

After realizing my life's expiration date,

I tried to think of ways to say goodbye to her.

- Should I take a photo of you? - Yes.

All right.

There.

My first love...

gave me an answer that I should find a way...

to live life while being in love.

One, two, three.

- My mom is coming here... - Yes.

Next week.

- Really? - Yes.

I should cook a delicious meal for her. What does she like?

What?

- What? - Hold on.

- What is it? - Look at those bubbles.

How beautiful.

They got on my face again.

They keep getting on my face.

- How beautiful you are. - Hey, hurry up.

In the midst of life full of uncertainty,

the only thing we can do is...

to recognize that the process of sharing warmth,

immersing ourselves in each other's warmth,

and becoming one with it...

- is the most precious thing. - Come on!

There's nothing I can take from this spread.

Darn.

- What's that? - What?

Stop right there!

Being each other's small miracle.

- It's so beautiful. - That?

It's gorgeous.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

In the end, doing the best,

the 2nd-best, or the 3rd-best isn't what matters.

It's always remembering to make an effort...

to appreciate the joy of the present moment.

It is...

living the magic of today to the fullest in love.

That's everything.

Look at that.

Just like our first love, full of nothing...

but heartfelt sincerity.

The sky is wide above us

And you're here beside me

- Is it "radiant?" - Yes, radiant.

- Standing with a radiant smile - Standing with a radiant smile

- Yes, you are a blue ocean - Yes, you are a blue ocean
