It looks just like the picture.

Isn't that Tae-suhk over there?

Han Tae-suhk!

That girl?

You mean your personal maid?

That really hurt.

You make a great friend, but...

What's wrong with you?

Is that all you amount to?

Hey...

I'm sorry.

But you can really make me mad sometimes.

She sounded really nice.

Stop it if you're not serious about her.

I'm serious.

I am serious.

I've never felt this way.

Aren't you going to draw for me?

This is me?

It looks funny.

Don't you think so?

It looks fine to me.

Choi Eun-suh.

Eun-suh?

Is that you, Eun-suh?

Is that you?

Is this really my brother?

Eun-suh.

It's so tense in there, I can't even go in.

Why didn't I recognize her?

I heard she's his cousin.

Do you know her well?

What does she do?

What's it to you?

Who is he?

I'm Joon-suh's friend,

Yumi's first love, and that lady's boyfriend.

Ji-han.

- Why did you do that? - He was bugging me.

I have enough on my mind already.

Is she really his cousin?

That's what he told me.

But is it true she's the one you're interested in?

How is she related to Joon-suh?

I had no idea.

I had no idea you brought my pajamas

and charged my phone at the hotel.

I didn't know it either.

Eun-suh.

How have you been?

I've been fine.

Mom and my brother are very good to me.

My brother still gets into fights.

But he doesn't mistreat me.

I heard your family moved to Seoul.

We were poor, but we've always been poor.

But we got along fine and they adored me.

I was very happy.

Were you worried?

Did you worry about me?

A lot?

A whole lot.

Mom and Dad...

Are they still in the States?

Yes, they're doing great.

They're still in the States, but they'll return soon.

I miss them.

I missed you.

I've missed you more recently.

I guess I somehow knew we'd meet like this.

It's so good to see you.

I never thought we'd see each other again.

I'm so glad.

Did they leave?

Yes, Tae-suhk is taking her home.

You should've taken her home.

It's all right.

She looks really nice and pretty too.

But were you that happy to see her?

You were tearing up.

Isn't that strange?

She spoke so politely to me.

Aren't you late for your flight?

Would you like some coffee if you have time?

Sure.

He's your cousin?

Yes.

What a small world.

You're Joon-suh's cousin, huh?

Let's start fresh.

Let's forget everything and start fresh.

You and I...

Can't you regard me like your cousin's best friend?

This is terrible.

Joon-suh will kill me when he finds out

you got fired from your job because of me.

You didn't tell him, did you?

Would you talk to Manager Kim for me?

Would you tell her nothing happened between us?

I have to get my job back.

I don't want to tell Joon-suh that I lost my job.

I don't ask favors of just anyone.

I've never done it.

I'm sorry.

Is it important?

Is it important to you?

Please.

Eun-suh is not at fault.

What does that matter now?

Nothing happened that day.

Ms. Choi Eun-suh, did I ever tell you to resign for that incident?

Do you know how many days of work you've missed?

And now you've brought your man here to show me up?

What?

Man? Show you up?

- You should leave. - Woman, she's a nice girl.

I flirted with her because I wanted to date her.

Is that a problem?

How can you fire someone for dating?

Don't you date at all?

Please, go.

Then again, you don't look like you'd get many dates.

How have you been?

I've been doing fine.

Mom and my brother are very good to me.

Your brother was in a rage.

I'll sleep here tonight.

What happened?

Did your brother try to set you up with that old man?

Choi Eun-suh!

What are you doing?

- Get out of the way! - Stop right there!

Come here!

How dare you run off like that with some bum!

Do you know what that meant to me?

I can't work on ships anymore.

How do you expect me to make a living?

- You brat! - What?

What are you going to do now?

You're dead.

You're dead.

Die!

Die!

Fine, let's die.

What are you doing?

Mom!

I'll never let you get away with this!

You brat!

Where can you go?

Don't worry. I have lots of friends.

I hope he doesn't come back and give you a hard time.

This is no time to worry about me.

You keep this money.

Don't give any to Jong-chul.

You'll have a black eye tomorrow.

Jong-chul is coming.

Go before he beats you again.

Eun-suh.

Brother.

Eun-suh.

You're up early.

Am I here too early?

What...

I told Mom about you.

Mom and my brother told me to come here and spend some time with you.

Can I stay with you for a few days?

Do you have a room for me?

Did you leave home?

No.

I shouldn't have come. I don't want to worry you.

- I'll just go. - It's all right.

Can I stay then?

Yes.

Let's go in.

He still gets into fights.

But he doesn't hit me or anything.

Brother.

I...

To be honest, I left home.

I had a fight with my brother.

I'm sorry I lied.

I came because...

It's all right.

You don't have to tell me anything.

Stay with me.

I want you to stay with me.

Keep me company.

Just for a few days.

Sleep tight.

I wanted to say "good night"

and "good morning...."

Those are the things I wanted to tell you most.

Eun-suh.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Mr. Choi Jong-chul?

Yes.

- Who are you? - I'm Yoon Joon-suh.

Tell your mother Eun-suh will be staying with me.

Hey, are you...

If you ever lay your hands on Eun-suh again,

you'll get a lot more than this.

Why did you buy so much food?

I want to celebrate your first day of teaching.

What do we tell the others?

We can tell them we're cousins.

I'm comfortable with that.

I guess you didn't tell them about me.

- That was... - It's all right.

We don't know how Shin-ae would feel about it.

We'll talk about it when Mom and Dad return.

All right.

But why do you keep talking up to me?

I feel a little awkward. It's been so long.

Did I talk down to you when we were little?

By the way, how is Shin-ae doing?

She's something else. She's very ambitious.

She was a great student.

She'll return next month after she gets her MBA.

I see.

What is an MBA?

She studied management.

It's a master's degree in business.

It's another degree you can earn after college.

Let's cook something good tonight.

My specialty is in cooking.

I'll show you what I can do tonight.

Joon-suh.

Hello.

Mom packed too much food.

Eun-suh, enjoy.

You should've called.

I wanted to surprise you.

Are you visiting with him?

How long will you stay?

Just a few days.

No, she's going to stay with me.

Brother.

Now you finally call me brother.

She doesn't have a place to stay.

I'm glad to hear that.

I was worried about him living alone.

Take good care of him.

Did you make this kimchi?

Yes.

She says it's delicious. She wants your recipe.

Why didn't you tell me she'd be staying with you?

I was surprised.

It just happened.

Are you mad?

I'm glad she's staying with you.

Now you can't fool around on me.

I won't be able to fool around even if she weren't here.

I'm not good around women.

You didn't forget about going to your old house this weekend, right?

That's right.

All the furniture has arrived.

Really?

- You don't have to clean up. - I want to do it.

I want to win some brownie points with your parents.

Why don't we go with Eun-suh and Tae-suhk?

With Eun-suh?

Eun-suh must've visited you often at that house.

What?

I don't think Eun-suh would want to go. Let's just go by ourselves.

Or we can just take Tae-suhk.

Go in now.

I don't want to.

Can't you stay a little longer?

Will Eun-suh be waiting?

I guess it's dangerous for her to stay alone, right?

I should at least say good night to her.

You'll hurry back just to say good night?

Fine, you win.

Good night.

Bye.

Joon-suh.

Were you running?

Yes.

Why? Was something wrong?

No.

Good night.

I wanted to say good night.

Good night.

I'm so happy I can say good night to you again.

Good night.

I know I'm just a puppet, but must I report to you

for every little thing like firing an employee?

There is the union to consider and the other employees.

You can't fire a manger to rehire Choi Eun-suh.

I can't?

You'd better be nicer to me.

There is another way.

If you don't like Manager Kim,

you can assign her to another department.

Just make sure she's out of my sight.

Yes, sir. I'll take care of it.

- Is there anything else? - No.

Yes, sir.

And make sure you address her properly.

Pardon?

It's Ms. Choi Eun-suh from now on.

Yes, sir.

OK, we're gonna have a test on the history of Egyptian Art

You'd better work hard

Yeah! Thanks a lot

Yo, Tae-suhk! What are you doing here?

I came to see you, man

Thanks

Well, what are you doing this weekend?

I am going back home with Yumi to pick up my stuff

You want to come along?

- Back home? - Yes

Have Eun-suh Lived there, too?

Same town with you?

Well, actually, I came to talk to you

Well, it's awkward...

Would you tell Eun-suh that I am a great guy,

worth making relationship

- No - What?

You are OK, but no way with my sister

- Hey, Joon-suh - No way

She is so precious! You're not good enough

Joon-suh, you are not gonna live with her forever

Did you now she was forced to marry a 40 years old man

You didn't know, did you?

Tae-suhk

Whoever tries first is the man

What do you mean?

Tae-suhk!

Really?

Of course.

You can come back to work now.

How did you talk Manager Kim into it?

Did you ask her?

You wanted to get your job back.

You really did ask her for a favor?

Will you come back to work?

Thank you. I'm so relieved.

Can I start tomorrow?

Sure, you can.

I was so worried.

Buy me lunch if you're so grateful.

Fine, why not?

Why not?

If I'm your older cousin's friend, I'm older than you.

You shouldn't just smile at anyone, all right?

Joon-suh.

I told you the first one here gets the prize.

Hello.

Good morning.

What was that back there? And I didn't see Manager Kim.

You didn't hear? She's been assigned to the pool.

The pool?

But that's under outside management.

- She's been axed. - Why?

I don't know.

Rumor has it the new director has a thing against her.

That's mean.

It's good for you.

You wouldn't have gotten your job back if she stayed.

Consider yourself lucky.

That's why it was so awkward back there.

The rumor is there is something between you and that new director.

What?

I know, it's ridiculous. How would you know the director?

Who is he?

He's the chairman's youngest son.

They sent their troublemaker son down here.

It's supposed to be a secret.

- Really? Would I know him? - Of course not.

What was his name?

Han Tae-suhk...

What? Han Tae-suhk?

Choi Eun-suh. Welcome back to work.

I've been looking for you.

Choi Eun-suh!

Don't touch me.

What's the problem?

So what if I'm a director?

You know I don't do anything as a director.

I mistook you for a decent man for a second.

I thought you apologized to Manager Kim and got my job back.

Who says I didn't apologize to her? Who said that?

Why?

So you can fire that person too?

Did that woman say that?

Why, I'll...

I understand the likes of you very well.

You'll shed tears for a small scratch you have,

but you'd step all over someone else's life like it's worthless.

I despise you.

Fine.

That's the kind of man I am.

I don't care about anyone else's life.

What's wrong with getting rid of what's in my way?

I like you.

Yes, I like you.

I did it because I like you.

Satisfied now?

Joon-suh, where should I put this?

Let's put it here.

Get in. I'll take you home.

If you don't want to make a scene here, get in.

- About what I said... - I know it was out of anger.

I understand.

I won't tell Joon-suh. Don't worry.

What are you doing?

Let's go tell him.

Let's go tell him how I feel about you.

Then he'll trust me.

- Look... - Wear your seat belt.

It's a long ride.

Is this your hometown, too?

What are you looking at?

You didn't visit him here often?

I've never been here.

It's nice and clean.

It's not your first time here, is it?

Joon-suh lived here until he left for the States

when he was in junior high.

He told me so much about this house,

I feel like I lived here.

Where did they go, anyway?

Chest? Where? Let me see.

Joon-suh.

Mom, stop Joon-suh.

Bye, Mom... you're the best...

Bye, Joon-suh...

They're not upstairs.

Tae-suhk, when did you come?

Eun-suh.

Brother...

- Yoon Eun-suh. - Choi Eun-suh.

I think it's my fault.

I told her.

(Yoon Eun-suh's room.)

You were thinking, "I'm going to cry again."

You were thinking, "It hasn't changed at all."

You were thinking, "She's crying again."

You were thinking, "She's talking down to me," right?

You were thinking, "She's finally back to herself."

Eun-suh, is that you?

Yes, Brother...

Brother...

You must've been very close to your cousin.

Yes.

How did you meet him?

We studied art together in New York.

I was friends with Tae-suhk first.

I met him through Tae-suhk.

It was really funny at first.

He never said a word when we first met.

I thought he didn't like me.

Then all of a sudden he asked me what I want to be when I'm reborn.

So what did you tell him?

I told him a tree.

I want to be reborn as a tree.

- A tree? - Yes, a tree.

So once I put my roots down, I won't have to move.

That's how we met.

What?

I told her I like her.

I'm serious.

You...

I didn't want to be serious, but I am.

I really like Eun-suh.

What did she say?

She hasn't said anything.

But just wait.

I'll show her I'm the only man who can make her happy.

Can I date her?

What if I say no?

Will you forget her if I say no?

Of course not.

I'm not asking for your permission.

But you'll be on my side as my best friend

and Eun-suh's cousin, right?

Did you make it?

Yumi made it.

- Isn't it good? - It is.

Let's stay here tonight and return tomorrow.

Sure. What about you, Eun-suh?

So are you maternal cousins or paternal cousins?

What's that matter?

Since their names are Eun-suh and Joon-suh,

they must be paternal cousins.

What were you two talking about?

I was telling her about how we met.

Oh that. "I want to be reborn as a tree."

Eun-suh, what do you want to be reborn as?

Joon-suh's sister.

How touching.

Joon-suh, you must be happy.

Eun-suh, let me teach you how to fish.

But I have to clean this up.

They can clean up. It's all right, isn't it?

You put that thread through here like this.

No, that's not how you do it.

That's right. This must be the new model.

They make a cute couple, don't they?

I'm glad Joon-suh had an extra T-shirt.

Why are you alone?

Joon-suh went for a walk.

Have you seen Eun-suh?

No.

You used to cry here a lot.

I did?

I always found you here crying.

You did?

I did.

We always passed by here on our way home.

We used to take shelter here when it rained.

We did?

You don't remember that?

Then do you remember me?

I don't remember much.

It's very unclear.

I tried not to remember.

They were such happy memories...

they were all happy memories and I wasn't so happy anymore.

So I told myself to forget those memories.

I guess I really did forget about them.

Joon-suh, I...

I...

It was really difficult for me.

It was so difficult, I couldn't afford to reminisce

about happy memories of you and Mom.

Let me give you a piggyback ride for old time's sake.

No.

Come on. Hurry up.

My back is hurting.

Come on.

Why aren't they coming?

I'm sure Joon-suh is all right, but I'm worried about Eun-suh.

I know.

Eun-suh?

Yumi. Tae-suhk.

Yoon Shin-ae.

I missed you.

- Why didn't you even call? - You're still the same.

I'm not too heavy?

No.

I am.

Am I third in line now?

Excluding Mom, it's Yumi first, then Shin-ae, then me, isn't it?

You're not third.

Not even third? You're mean.

What about me?

Where am I now?

Must you ask something so obvious?

Obvious?

You come first as always.

I want to get down now. You must be tired.

What do you mean? Cousin? Cousin who?

- I'm sorry we're late... - Joon-suh.
