What do you mean?

I guess I needed time to process it, too.

I'm fine with you moving on without me,

but I couldn't stand you thinking my feelings were that shallow.

It was just...

I guess that just makes me a worthless jerk.

For hurting you that day,

I was truly sorry.

I'm sorry.

Gosh!

I should get this for Je Yeon.

So cute.

It looks just like her, doesn't it?

You have really weird taste.

This one?

Yes.

I'll buy them for you. Go ahead and get more.

Oh, no, it's fine. I've already got plenty.

Go on, grab one more.

- Hey, I called it... - Here, use this.

I said I was hungry first, so I'm the one who's paying.

Besides, you paid for everything at the stationery shop earlier.

Let me get this.

Please charge it to this card.

When you buy things,

do you make a habit of buying things without checking the price?

I did check the price.

The 2 items at 3.2 dollars...

and 3 items at 17 dollars,

plus the one you bought because it was cute.

Anyway, you were short-changed by 4.7 dollars.

How on earth did you calculate all that?

Anyone can do that kind of math in their head, can't they?

You must be great at math.

Is that why you became a tax accountant?

Math and tax accounting don't have much to do with each other.

I was good at everything. I was just especially good at math.

Then why did you just brag about it?

I haven't even really started bragging yet.

You're so obnoxious.

Why would someone like that become a tax accountant?

You should've become Pythagoras or something.

I wanted to, back in the day.

"The Kim Seok Joo Theorem."

What are you theorizing all of a sudden?

No, the theorem...

Good grief.

How do you even know who Pythagoras...

Never mind. Anyway,

you lost out on some money,

What's the point of going back to fight over it?

That's my regular shop. I'm happy they make a little extra.

So people like you do exist.

And what kind of person is that?

A good person.

Did you quit your job?

You've been showing up at all sorts of odd hours.

Who knows? Maybe I will.

Master.

Back when my family went broke my senior year of high school.

Do you remember what you told me when I rejoined the dojang?

I poured my heart out about being unsure of the path to take.

Of course, I remember.

"I want to practice kendo again, Master."

You were bawling your eyes out.

Haven't you been reading a few too many sports comics?

You told me that if I just kept going,

everything I've been through would become my path.

Gosh.

I was so cool.

You were always moving around.

So you said this place felt more like home.

Because kendo was the one thing I'd stuck with the longest.

When my family lost everything,

when I had to drop out of school,

Each time, I thought it was the hardest thing I'd ever face.

I wonder what kind of path he's had to walk.

His path always seemed so dark.

I wonder if he felt as hopeless that day.

Mumble all you want,

I'm not cutting the membership fee any further.

Gosh! Guess that didn't work.

How am I supposed to rebel so that people say I did a good job?

Gosh, just go away.

- Oh, I'll do it. - No, go warm up!

I'm really not sorry about this,

but sorry.

Mind if I go first?

It's just that this is something I've been dying to do.

Besides, I bought you that meal earlier.

So this is why you insisted on treating me.

Go ahead.

- You ready? - Yes.

- You have to stand perfectly still. - Okay.

Gosh!

The truth is,

I actually started doing this because of the CEO.

I used to cry a lot on set when I was younger.

One day, she bought me something to supposedly cheer me up.

It turns out she was buying something for her son.

She just gave me the freebies that came with it.

I know that...

I've lived my acting career as an afterthought.

But I see I've been your afterthought too.

I think you have it backward. I was the add-on.

I cried when no one was looking.

At the hotel back then? You were bawling?

Bawling my eyes out.

What did you want to be, Tae Rin?

I mean, you weren't born wanting to be an actress, were you?

Well, that's a secret.

I see.

Is your life ambition to be a secret?

You know, that doesn't sound half bad.

So is that a yes or a no?

Nope, it's a secret!

What?

("Waegeum")

Hey, Tae Rin. Want to go for a bike ride with me?

I could even teach you.

But I don't know how.

Let's go diving later instead.

Why the sudden urge to ride a bike?

No reason.

I just wanted to be active for once.

To clear my head.

Tae Rin.

Here, have a cup. I brewed it myself.

Thank you.

Oh, Director.

You know how to ride a bike, don't you?

Could you teach me?

Don't you know I'm swamped with my company launch right now?

Oh, I'm pretty good. I could teach you.

Gi Ppeum, you're just learning the ropes yourself.

- This is great. It's so delicious. - Good, right?

Goodbye.

Looking for someone to teach me how to ride a bike.

Thirty-four-year-old adult, total beginner.

Total beginner.

(I am at Chungra Lake Park.)

What?

I'm in the area. I can teach you. No payment needed.

Are you KendoChamp?

By any chance, are you RascalMom?

Yes.

Gosh, you're really good.

I can help you until I have to leave for Taekwondo.

For an hour.

Thank you. I'm counting on you.

Today's my last session before I move.

Oh, but... I was supposed to learn this.

But we're just getting started.

"I made such a stupid mistake."

- Ma'am. - Oh, pop!

You make me do the strangest things.

And at my age, too.

The puffed rice guy is coming today, but I'm too lazy to go out.

Oh, sure.

The weather. It's perfect for a trip.

I'd love to go to Jeju Island.

No, wait. I'm scared of flying.

I mean,

I'm still so terrified of planes flying in the sky.

Isn't it weird? For something so huge?

Ma'am?

Yes?

Is there anything you really want to do before you die?

Me?

Surrounded by a vast, open landscape,

I'm going to drink a delicious cup of coffee that I brewed myself.

Australia would be perfect!

Australia?

But I thought you feared planes. That's a long flight to Australia.

I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Maybe I should just follow you to Australia.

Lately, I don't really know who I am.

I just keep overthinking things,

and I'm becoming more hesitant to act.

You know, back when I worked in the school nurse's office,

I really hated how cramped and stuffy it was.

That's why I jumped at the chance to take over this place.

It was great at first. I'd play Korean chess when bored,

watch people, and look through books.

But now,

I'm tired of even that.

Is this how my life is going to end?

I don't want that.

I'm still finding myself at my age,

so if you had it all figured out, don't you think I'd be jealous?

Gosh, this is hard.

Why is this so hard?

You'll get the hang of it soon.

Everything's hard at first.

I don't know.

The world just keeps on moving.

I'm sorry.

And I'm left wondering what the point of it all is.

I'm...

sick.

What do you mean you're sick?

Welco...

Oh, the firefighter.

Hae's not here this week. I told him to take some time off.

I figured you were here to see him.

Right.

Did you two have a fight? Because Hae was late the other day?

That was because he was at the hospital.

He didn't mention anything like that.

What was wrong with him?

Did you know about this?

All he told me was...

that he was sick.

He's never been sick enough to collapse and be rushed to the ER.

So I was really shocked.

You must have been really shocked too, Je Yeon.

What's the illness?

Is he dying?

Oh, well, that's...

I think it would be best if you heard it from Hae directly.

It's not my place to say.

Oh, but you must have been so upset.

Nu Ri.

About last weekend, when you stayed at Min Kyung's...

I said I studied all weekend.

I wasn't just playing around.

Min Kyung is ranked 99th, you know.

Don't you miss your mom?

No, I don't.

Oh, don't say that.

I can't believe people.

Just throwing their trash all over.

They should fine everyone who does that.

Right in front of someone's house...

I've been thinking.

This isn't how we should end things.

It's just like last time.

You have your reasons for pushing me away,

and I get mad at you for it.

And sometimes,

I've regretted those moments.

I've been doing some thinking too.

Why isn't he here yet?

Oh, hey.

Hello.

Are you here to see him?

Yes, I have something to talk to him about.

Go on in and talk. Make yourself comfortable.

I'll make you some coffee.

You can head inside.

Should we go somewhere else?

You didn't have to buy this.

That day...

That day, I...

I feel like I just sprung it on you.

I thought there was nothing left to be afraid of,

but after I told you,

I got scared all over again.

I can't lie or sugarcoat it.

And you're crying and worrying sick.

I realized that's how it's going to be.

That's what scared me.

It doesn't even feel real to me yet.

So how could I have explained it to you?

Where does it hurt?

Is it okay if I ask what it is?

If it's so serious that you'd say we shouldn't see each other...

- Is it... - Fatal?

Yes.

If you're unlucky.

And I was unlucky.

And that luck...

Can't it get better?

Is there nothing that can be done?

They say meds can slow it down.

For the record, it's not like I'm in agonizing pain or anything.

So make sure you don't skip your health checkups, either.

Get regular blood work done, too.

The prognosis for most diseases is good if you catch them early.

How can you be joking right now?

I'm not joking.

You explained everything so earnestly,

and I'm just supposed to accept it?

The reasons we can't be together?

Thank you for coming to see me.

Sure.

I'll get going.

This time, I mean it.

Don't follow me.

I saw Tae Rin and Sunwoo Hae's show got a good response.

Their image isn't bad at all.

How about we use them for marketing?

Let's announce the greenlight sooner for "World Made of Ash 3."

"The author of the novel behind the successful film is Sunwoo Hae."

Je Yeon...

Jae Won, what do you think?

Well...

Before the finale of the docuseries airs,

we need to release it as an exclusive.

With no regard for his feelings whatsoever?

Can we really dredge all this up just to promote a movie?

People are already interested. That's a risk he'll have to take.

As part of the recent restructuring,

we've established the new Management Consulting Division.

He's Kim Seok Joo, the incoming head of that division.

Some of you may have seen him around.

He's been learning the ropes.

As some of you may already know,

he's my son.

What was that?

So my opinion just doesn't matter?

How could you just spring this on me like this?

Can we please do this later?

No. Make it quick.

I want a career with my degree I worked so hard for.

Is that such a problem for you?

I like my current company, and...

You're proud of working at such a second-rate company?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Don't you dare badmouth my company.

You might be at the top of your industry,

but that only flies in your industry, Mom.

Then why did you bother coming in to learn the work?

Because I was worried about you, Mom.

I was just stopping by to see how you were.

We're not...

a family that lovingly checks in or has meals together.

That's just not who we are.

Come on, what's so hard about asking how someone is?

You just ask.

Mom.

I have done everything you ever told me to.

You told me to be number one, so I was.

You told me to study abroad, so I went.

In all that time,

did you ever once ask me if I was okay?

That whole "checking in on someone" thing?

So how am I supposed to ask how you're doing?

I never learned how to do things like that.

Exactly.

Just like that.

You were doing a great job just now.

The company needs someone who can stand up to me.

I can't get through to you at all, can I?

I won't wait long.

Put in your notice at your company.

Gi Ppeum, what on earth is your problem?

You got into a university that's nearly impossible to get into,

but you can't even get a driver's license?

I failed the road test again.

The script.

What did you think?

If it's something I absolutely have to do,

then I suppose I'll give it a try.

You brought it to me, and I trust your judgment.

I want to hear what you really think.

You always dig deep.

Then...

can I think it over a bit more and get back to you?

Sure.

Gi Ppeum, what was your take on it?

The righteous detective, Kongjwi,

launching a targeted investigation against Patjwi.

To me, that reveals the limitations of the South Korean police.

- What? - Having so many psychopaths...

in South Korea is, in itself, a statistical error.

My conclusion is that Patjwi is just an ordinary horticulturist.

I've been born again!

Forget the detective.

How was the villain's part?

Pinpointing Patjwi as the culprit...

is just a symptom of the ills of Korean society.

Gi Ppeum!

Okay, we get it. You're highly educated.

I asked you to review a script, not critique Korean society.

Well...

Does anyone know how to go astray?

Want to go free-diving?

Come with me, into the water.

I don't think that's quite it.

If you're going to chit-chat, get out.

Am I the only one in this meeting?

I came because I was lonely.

Please be nice to me.

If you're going to chit-chat, get out.

Oh, for crying out loud.

About that Kongjwi role. Kwon Do Eun is reviewing it.

I hear it's pretty much a done deal.

Her schedule is booked next year, so shooting will start soon.

And it's scheduled to air in the first half of next year.

It was the first script Tae Rin read since switching agencies,

so I did a little digging back then.

You were so cool just now.

You're a real pro.

And here I thought you only came to cause trouble.

What?

Since you're here, want to see a new script?

Deal.

But you're treating me to something good.

- Something really good. - Thank you.

I'm so hungry, everything tastes amazing.

Gosh, why have you been skipping meals?

Word on the street is Nam Jun Ho is signing with you guys.

Shouldn't you be swamped?

But I see you still, well...

You don't even have chairs yet.

When are they coming? Did you get them custom-made?

If you're not busy,

could you rent a truck to get the chairs from my parents' place?

What?

You can rent a truck?

I thought they had to come with a driver.

Should I call someone?

I know a guy with a delivery truck.

What, who's this guy now?

Hey, are you busy?

Yes, I need you to grab your truck and go pick up some chairs.

He wants to know what you're paying.

- Tell him I'll pay him well. - Hey, she says she'll pay you well.

Should I go too?

Okay.

He's on board.

A new flame?

Hey!

You can't get into a scandal right after switching agencies.

A company that doesn't even have chairs...

isn't equipped to handle one.

Hold on a second.

Yes? What's up?

Je Yeon, did you see the article about Bebop?

No. What article?

What else could possibly be out there?

Oh, my heart...

I mean...

We're trending at number one.

I guess it's thanks to Bebop.

After the news that Bebop is the creator of "World Made of Ash,"

Our on-demand viewership has skyrocketed.

I see.

Oh, what a relief.

You scared me. I thought it was an article on Hae.

I'm sorry. My bad.

You doing okay?

I'm good. How about you?

I've been busy planning my wedding.

I'll send you an invitation soon.

Take care of yourself.

What?

What's wrong? Are your eyes stinging?

Yes, they are.

They're stinging.

(Palgakdo)

(Bebop)

- What now? - Oh, hey.

I owe you 50 dollars for the ride. Where can I send it?

Oh, right. I almost got stiffed.

I'll text you my account number.

Okay, text it to me.

So, how have you been? Doing good?

Just wire me the money. I'm hanging up.

No, wait a second.

Is everything okay with you?

Are you just bored again?

No.

Did you, I don't know, hurt someone who came on too strong recently?

Does that ring any bells?

I'm hanging up.

Something's definitely up.

What? What's wrong?

You're so adorable.

And someone made my girl cry?

Who made you cry?

It's nothing.

I just got something in my eye.

No, really. Nothing's wrong.

It's just that...

I think I might go home for a little while.

Wednesday. A clear day.

The opening of Start of Spring.

Seok Joo, turn on the lights!

My favorite people are here.

There we go.

So, what's Start of Spring?

Oh, it means you're ugly.

Hey! You...

I got to make Nu Ri's graduation bouquet myself.

You guys are the ugly ones.

- No way. - Oh, hello, ma'am.

Hello.

Start of Spring. It's a nice name.

On Teacher's Day, I'll get you an armful of carnations.

Wishing you great fortune!

This one's mine! Yes! Thank you.

- Hey, the rice cakes are here! - Oh, you're here?

These rice cakes are so good.

Oh, ma'am.

Start of Spring.

"Late Autumn" is still a better name than "Start of Spring."

My shop's name is way better.

All the flowers that I can't sell are for Geon No.

To celebrate, how about a planter?

Look at you, not even thinking of paying.

Hurry inside and hand out the rice cakes.

I guess I'll have to keep caring for the plant Seok Joo took.

If I want it to grow well.

- Good, right? - It's delicious.

I'll go hand the rest out.

Hello.

We just opened today, so we brought some...

We went to the neighboring shops, handing out rice cakes.

Then we all ordered jjajangmyeon together.

- We hope to be good neighbors. - Of course.

There was one other face that came to mind.

(Congratulations on Opening)

You...

If you saw me now,

what would you say?

(Friday, cloudy)

Idiot.

Why is your bag so big?

Can I see how heavy it is?

This bag? Is it that big?

Je Yeon!

Oh my gosh, you didn't even call. What brings you here?

I was craving your cooking.

Oh, I'm exhausted already.

Oh, dear.

Oh, right.

Oh, perfect timing.

I have to run to the bank,

so you help the kids with their schoolwork.

Kids, be good and listen to your teacher.

- What? - Okay!

All right, I'm your teacher for the day. Sit down!

(Sunwoo Hae Revealed to Be Author of "World Made of Ash")

Hae wrote a book?

("World Made of Ash" is out of print.)

And it's out of print?

Sir.

There's an issue with the cover for Author Hwang's new book.

He must have inherited my talent.

Let's have our company do a rerelease. Yes.

So...

How... Oh, hold on.

Hey, son! It's, Dad. Yes.

Hey, about "World Made of Ash..." I hear you're the author.

I saw an article about it.

- What do you want? - Well...

Let's republish it, the one that went out of print.

Dad will help you out.

My staff is really good at what they do.

Wait, how did you get my number?

Nu Ri gave it to...

No, wait, that's not right.

Someone gave it to me.

Where are you right now?

I said, where are you?

Spit it out.

I asked what your business here is.

I said I'm here to see the CEO. Now, where is he?

Our CEO is out right now. What's this about?

I really didn't want to have to say this,

but I'm the CEO's son.

His biological son.

Did you just tell them you're my son?

Why are you there?

He's my son.

Are you trying to make a scene...

in front of all the employees?

Come on, let's take this show inside.

I'm very sorry.

This way.

Sorry, it's a little messy in here.

I wasn't expecting you.

Explain yourself.

Why are you in contact with Nu Ri?

Well...

Hae, listen. Just calm down for a second.

Why don't you come over here?

Let's sit down and try to talk about this calmly.

So all this time,

you were meeting Nu Ri's birth mother...

and never said a single word?

No, it's just...

How did you find out?

Nu Ri's birth mom saw the show and came to find me.

Wait, why would she go to you?

Look.

I met with Nu Ri's mom a few times about some paperwork.

But that's all it was.

Back when you were in the army,

Seok Joo brought Nu Ri over to stay with me for a while.

My heart just went out to her.

But there was nothing more to it.

I'd just buy Nu Ri a meal from time to time,

give her some allowance,

and I'd ask Nu Ri...

how her mom was doing.

So...

You and Eun Nu Ri conspired to lie to me for at least ten years?

I only started seeing her again recently. I promise.

Nu Ri said she found something she wanted to do,

so I was just so proud of her.

And you knew about Eun Nu Ri's photography too?

Her photos are amazing, aren't they?

Gosh, my kids just...

They must all have a knack for the arts.

You've completely lost it, haven't you?

You raised Nu Ri so well that...

her talent was able to blossom.

Do you know why...

I took Nu Ri in?

Because I didn't want to be like you.

You came to me to abandon her, and I refused to do the same.

I could barely even feed myself. You think I wanted to take her in?

In...

my whole life, there's...

one thing I could never forgive.

What will you do about Nu Ri?

For now, I was thinking of an orphanage...

Are you crazy?

I guess you didn't mention that part to Nu Ri.

Did Nu Ri not mention this?

I'm...

I'm going to die.

I should have just died with Mom back then.

Or better yet, should I just die for you right now?

You little punk.

Sunwoo Hae!

No matter how angry you get, you can't just say things like that.

Especially since you wrote stuff under your mom's name.

How could you say something like that?

When everything happened with Mom, where were you?

You were nowhere to be found when I needed you.

All I did was wait.

Completely in the dark.

Waiting and waiting.

And waiting and waiting!

I don't know what I ever saw in you.

Why did you abandon me?

Tell me.

Why did you leave me behind?

Dad.

Was I such a burden?

No, that's not it.

Back then,

I was just a failure.

I was too immature.

I'm so sorry.

Gosh, we're the only family we have.

It wasn't like that.

I wish...

I wish I had inherited that irresponsibility.

Then I could have lived doing whatever I wanted.

After all this time, why now?

Mom.

Yes?

What's this?

I saw one in the study room too.

Oh, that. At the study room...

Your aunt said it helps develop the kids' creativity.

Can I try this, too?

I could use a little...

creativity myself.

Should we make some kimchi fried rice?

You said you loved the kimchi I brought from Min Kyung's place.

That it was so refreshing.

Eun Nu Ri.

Your birth mother came looking for you.

You should meet her.

And tell her you want to live with her.

What? No, I can...

I can barely even remember her face right now.

But why would she want me?

That's why you need to meet her and talk it out.

What's with your attitude?

What's gotten into you?

You're acting like you were just stuck raising me.

- Because I was. - Hey!

Don't scream. This is a public place.

Is that how I raised you?

What's gotten into you?

Do the grocery shopping by yourself!

Hey, there are plenty of seats here!

Come on, over here!

Oh, sorry.

Hey!

Hey, you punk!

You little punk.

You skipped the baseball game, you punk.

We got totally creamed today because of you.

- What? - You little punk.

Who are you?

This guy's wasted.

It's me, Won Seok, you punk!

Can I get a beer, please?

- Okay. - No.

A beer, please!

No, I'm not drunk.

And I don't know anyone named Won Seok.

Me?

Oh, right. I have the wrong person.

- Gosh, I'm sorry. - No, it's fine. Don't worry.

Since fate brought us together, how about we share a beer?

This neighborhood's changed so much.

All the good spots are gone.

It's become a tourist trap.

I don't have a dog. I'm raising a little sister, though.

She's not much to look at.

And she never listens to a single thing I say.

We got completely destroyed by the other team today.

And she's sneaking around with him behind my back.

Anyway, he's always the one causing problems.

No, Won Seok.

I'm the problem.

This dried pollock is actually pretty good with the sauce.

What's the problem?

Why did it have to be me?

Why did it have to be now?

Maybe I could just die today.

No way! You can't die! You're drinking with me tonight!

You only live once. Why waste it like this?

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Goodness.

Well...

What about you, Won Seok?

How do you live your life?

Me?

For me, once I swing the bat,

I just run, no matter what.

Whether it's an out or a home run.

Go!

All right. To the only life we've got.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Actually, this is my second life.

I mean...

I don't know why I made such a fuss about not drinking all my life.

Won Seok.

When I was younger,

I didn't drink because it felt like a waste of money.

And when I grew up, I couldn't drink for health reasons.

No, that was smart. Health is the most important thing.

"Whatever. Let's just drink till we drop."

I couldn't even work up the nerve for that.

No, that's the wrong kind of courage to have.

Drinking is one thing,

but you need a different kind of courage.

The truth is,

I want to get down on my knees...

and just beg.

And ask them to love me.

And not to leave me.

But...

I'd rather die than do that.

That would be so selfish of me.

Gosh, that hurts.

Hey, what are you doing here?

- Come on, have a drink with us! - Gosh.

We've been looking all over for you.

Hey, wait. Aren't you Gi Yong?

See? I told you. I'm not the only one, right?

He looks just like him, right?

Hey! Without you, our team's been terrible lately!

Oh, boy.

Hello there.

My name is Sunwoo Hae. I was just...

Won Seok and I...

just happened to end up sharing a table.

We're here because we lost our baseball game today.

- Oh, that's too bad. - Goodness.

- It's all right. - Hey, come on, get up.

- Our driver's here. - Okay, let's go.

- You should go. Your jacket... - It's fine, don't worry about it.

You wear it. It's fine. It's a gift from me. Seriously.

Well then, here's my card.

Here, you too.

- Please give me a call. - I will.

- Come on, hurry up! - Let's go, hurry!

Hey.

Life's not easy, is it?

Hang in there!

Gosh.

Don't try to control everything.

You know?

All right, if you ever want to play baseball, give me a call.

I'm heading out.

- Take care, Won Seok! - Right, see you.

(Start of Spring)

So what's Seok Joo up to these days?

You should ask Seok Joo to set you up...

with a tax accountant colleague.

Stop moping at home all day.

Oh, that Seok Joo. Ever since he was a kid,

he's been so handsome and well-mannered.

- Right? - What's going on?

Je Yeon's boyfriend?

- The tax accountant? - No, just a guy friend.

Oh, seriously.

This is so humiliating.

What? Did you actually call him?

Seok Joo. Our dearest Seok Joo.

Seok Joo, the tax accountant.

Are you with your mom or something?

Seok Joo, how have you been?

Oh, come on now.

Can't you do something about Je Yeon?

She's too good for me, ma'am.

Okay, bye now.

For goodness' sake.

Hey, it's Sung Je Yeon! That's her!

Yes, that's Sung Je Yeon.

- Hey, give Sung Je Yeon a call. - Why did you drink?

You would never drink with me, even if the world were ending.

Whatever.

What did she say?

This is just...

a huge pain for someone who has to work tomorrow.

Unbelievable.

I'm upset too. We should've had a drink together.

Why are you drinking alone? You should've called me first.

How come only you get to do this?

I want in.

What on earth is wrong with you?

Why? Am I not allowed to act like this?

You're driving me crazy.

So I'm...

not allowed to do anything?

Or be anything?

Here's the plum syrup I made the other day.

Drink it or don't. I don't care.

Drink it and get a stomachache for all I care.

I've been saving this. Use it for your living expenses.

I'll be 20 soon, so I'll get a job and help out.

The flower shop went under, didn't it?

I've never seen you act like this in my entire life.

Because the shop failed, Mom...

You're telling me to go live with Mom, aren't you?

Where did you get this money?

I really don't get it.

How could you send me to someone whose face I can't even remember?

Aren't you hurt by this?

We're family. You're the only family I have.

What do you mean I'm the only family you have?

I heard you've been keeping in touch with that guy.

That guy...

You mean Mr. Chan?

You knew all along?

You were lying to me?

How could you do that to your own family?

To my family?

You know what makes a family a family?

It means eating together.

Living together.

It means not sulking like you and talking everything out.

That's the point.

Lately, I feel like we're more of a family than ever.

Then why is everyone so desperate to get rid of me?

If you were going to be like this,

you should've left me at the park! Why did you even come for me?

You're the one who left me.

Stop fiddling with that.

You're going to wear it out.

Are you trying to torture it?

What is it you want?

How long do penguins live?

Well, up to 50 years?

You should've been born a penguin.

Get up, you rascal.

Let's go.

I'm so tired.

- Get up. - Gosh!

I...

I can beat Tae Rin,

but I'm no match for you.

Oh, really?

They say a parent is no match for their child.

Well then, I'll take my win where I can get it.

Oh, so that's how you're going to be?

Careful.

All right, fine. I was wrong.

I'll just be quiet and walk.

Great view, fresh air.

All this needs now is a cup of coffee.

You're having some without me?

- Give me some. - You want some?

- Good thing I brought this, right? - Yes.

Gosh, that's an eye-opener!

You have to keep moving.

It's important to stabilize your amygdala, you know?

You know, when people just sit around,

they just get stuck in their own head. And what happens then?

Oh, gosh.

I forgot I was with my tutor, the esteemed Ms. Kim Su Jin.

I just got some serious trauma flashbacks.

And you used to do that all the time without knowing the consequences?

Think about your past, okay? Did that get you anywhere?

That's why, just like we're doing now...

Look.

Let's just focus on what's ahead.

Okay?

- Okay! - I'm off!

Let's go.

Hey there, Ms. Kim Su Jin.

I've been so busy making money, I've been a bit out of touch.

What if I came back down here and started teaching again?

I'd have kids lining up out the door for my class.

You think?

You think teaching kids is that easy?

You're the one who quit teaching after a few weeks. Please.

Ms. Kim Su Jin.

You know, I saw a place over there earlier.

Isn't there a place where you can post your wishes or something?

Hey, Sung Je Yeon.

I brought you here to clear your mind,

not fill it with more desires.

Gosh, that hurts.

You don't love me, do you?

You don't even know what love...

Right, of course, you don't.

Hey, this right here between us is what love is.

It's not that big a deal.

You have my utmost respect.

Is that how you're strong enough to put up with Dad?

Your dad's not that mentally tough, is he?

So what if his business failed? It happens.

You know the saying, life is like throwing an egg against a rock.

You just have to be the rock. Always, you hear?

Then the world is the egg.

Mom.

Never mind.

I think I've come up against a pretty giant egg.

You're hiding something.

It's Seok Joo, isn't it?

The "Seok" in his name means stone, doesn't it?

You can't break him.

- This time, you're the egg. - No, Mom, it's not like that.

I'm telling you, it's not.

Oh, seriously.

You're getting me all worked up, and now it hurts.

- Gosh! - Why do you always try to run away?

It's okay.

Let's go.

- Mom. - Yes?

I love you.

What was that?

I can't quite hear you, Princess.

Whatever. I'm hungry.

Let's go down, okay?

We should probably head back up.

(Start of Spring)

Hey, Yong Dal.

I thought Mo Tae Rin was coming.

Aren't we heading out, Yong Dal?

So I've been thinking.

About our pay for today...

I didn't confirm if it was per person.

What did the Director say?

She said she'd give us a little more than the truck rental fee.

We should get paid for the delivery, too.

Excuse me, ma'am?

The pay for today is per person, right?

And the delivery fee is separate.

Right.

- This is the last of it, right? - Yes.

- Oh, my, be careful. - Yes, we're all done.

Oh, honestly.

I mean, that girl, Han Na...

Still so scatterbrained at 40. My goodness.

You must be so proud of how well the director is doing.

I remember scraping together my savings to send her to Seoul.

Well, even though she's a handful, please take good care of her.

We will.

Oh, and here.

Oh, what's this?

Just something to snack on for the ride.

- Gosh, thank you so much. - Oh, it's nothing.

It was great for us too. We got a nice trip, thanks to her.

Oh, my, I've been talking too much. I've held you up.

Well, drive safe on your way back up.

- We will. - Okay.

- Take care. - Thank you.

What's wrong?

My stomach's been feeling off lately.

It's just...

Hey, let's stop and get some digestive medicine.

Gosh.

It must be from sitting in the truck for so long.

Want to rest a bit before we head out?

Yes.

My ears have been burning all day.

Okay, so there are two things to discuss.

I booked you a photo shoot.

I'm going to ask for the interview questions in advance.

She doesn't usually give them out, but she and I are close.

Looks like I'll have to lose some weight.

And the other thing?

About that drama, "Kongjwi and Patjwi."

Apparently, it's fully cast.

I'm so sorry. I know you read it carefully.

It's always a race against time, isn't it?

Why do I feel so relieved?

To be honest, something about it was bothering me anyway.

It read more like a romance than a thriller to me.

I found the writer's intent hard to grasp.

You thought it read like a romance?

If you read it that way, it has a completely different vibe.

That could be interesting.

Well, my interpretation was probably wrong.

Maybe I overthought it.

Why do I have to read so much into everything?

Director.

You don't have your hopes too high, do you?

You know my limits.

My hopes are just your size.

What?

What do you mean by that?

How about a salad for lunch?

Didn't you say you needed to slim down?

These roads are so confusing.

Director!

(Bicycle Rental)

Gosh, you didn't have to come.

Why did you push yourself to come here?

- Thanks. - Drink it.

What if you had passed out while driving?

You're not the only one who could get hurt, you know.

It was for the greater good.

Right.

You're in no condition to leave yet.

It's time you paid me back.

For what?

You said you'd teach me how to ride a bike.

Right now?

This seat is too high.

No, if it's this low, my feet will drag.

That way, your feet can catch you before you fall.

There.

Fine, you know best.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

Okay, be careful.

Here I go.

Gosh. I'm doing it!

- Gosh. - Hey!

I wasn't trying to hug you.

I know. Just be careful.

Hey, come on!

Give me some tips.

And stop making me crash into you.

Tips?

You know, balancing.

Not being scared, not getting hurt.

Gosh. You call those tips?

Don't imagine things.

Fear comes from your imagination.

Don't picture yourself falling. Just look straight ahead and go.

Can you really do that?

Yes. That's why I can ride.

But you can't.

If this happens again,

no matter what,

the end will be like this.

Let's stop seeing each other.

Show me again. I'm going to nail it this time.

I'll show you how it's done. Watch how I ride.

Don't be afraid.

Just like this. Look ahead. Don't look down.

Ready to try again?

Yes.

Are you okay?

- Careful. - Yes.

- I'm letting go. - Okay.

- I'm letting go. - Wait.

Wait, am I doing it?

Yes, I got it! See?

See?

Yes.

I missed you.

I've been thinking about it a lot,

and I keep coming to the same conclusion.

If I...

say I want to keep seeing you,

- then what? - Je Yeon.

Please...

Please, don't.

I can't stop thinking about you.

I don't know why.

Is it because I hate you or because I feel bad for you?

That's why I came.

But now that I see your face, I get it.

I can't get over my feelings.

I can't end things like this.

It's already over.

I don't want to be a burden to you.

Even if we start something, I can't see it through to the end.

I'll make you lonely and cry again over things I can't even promise.

There's no guarantee that won't happen.

I...

want to make the person I like smile.

Not make them cry.

I hate you putting up with things because of me.

I hate that you wouldn't be able to be yourself.

So...

don't waste yourself on me.

Even I don't know what's going to happen to me.

Asking you to endure that with me isn't the right thing to do.

You said life is like a gamble.

That some days you win big, and other days you lose it all.

Then why do you always...

bet on losing?

Can't you just give in for once and try?

I shouldn't have said that to you.

I shouldn't have...

I never should have told you that.

Told me what?

That you're sick?

You're just...

a coward.

You just...

don't like me enough.

It's just...

That's all it is.

I'm so sick of this.

Hey, Sung Je Yeon!

Wait.

- Let go. - Wait.

- I said let go! - Your shoelace is untied.

- Let go! - Just a second!

It'll just take a second.

Just a moment.

I've been asking you one thing this whole time.

Do you like me or not?

I don't.

Happy?

- She must be really hurt. - Oh, my gosh, I was so shocked...

It was so shocking, wasn't it?

- Did you see her? She collapsed. - I know, right? Goodness.

I wonder if she went to a hospital.

Her knees were scraped up. Seriously...

That was so scary, wasn't it? Gosh. What a mess.

Excuse me.

Did something happen here?

Oh, my goodness. Earlier, a woman on a bicycle...

and a group of skateboarders crashed right into each other.

They just took her away in an ambulance.

You must be with her. Oh, you poor thing.

She went down so hard that she couldn't get up at all.

- You must be with her. - You should hurry and go, okay?

(Phone)

The person you have called...

(Sung Je Yeon)

The person you have called...

(There was one other face that came to mind.)

(If you saw me now, what would you say?)

(My Youth)

I was told Sung Je Yeon was here.

I'm sorry, Je Yeon.

When are you free?

I thought you weren't making a move.

Is a guy like me okay for you?

When you're too happy,

it gets scary sometimes.

Do some people remember the first season,

that year, and the first snow?

I don't know...

what will happen now.

Still, let's do everything together.
