Original subtitles

What do you mean, a cousin? Cousin who?

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

Shin-ae, you've grown so pretty.

You're crying again.

Life must've been tough for you.

- Not at all. - Don't lie.

I heard you were a good student. Joon-suh bragged about you.

No, he didn't. You did well in school, too.

You didn't go to college?

No.

What do you do now?

I work at a hotel.

You mean Tae-suhk's hotel?

I'll be starting there as a manager next week.

- What about you? - I'm in housekeeping.

I see.

Are you a full-time employee?

No, I'm not...

You came back from the States today?

No, I came back yesterday.

Mom and Dad will return later...

How are they?

Would they remember me?

It's nice to see you again.

I've thought a lot about you.

Mom and Dad forbid us to talk about you.

We left for the States to forget everything.

Everyone tried hard not to remember.

But it was very harsh.

How could we cut all contact with you like that?

Poor Eun-suh...

I feel so bad for her.

How could she have lived on?

She must've missed her mother and father so much.

I don't think I'd have...

How could you leave her behind like that?

How could you be so cruel?

Joon-suh, what did you do for her?

What did you do?

Tae-suhk.

You're right.

I couldn't do anything for her.

I couldn't do anything.

Eun-suh, sleep over tonight.

I'll turn in first. See you tomorrow.

I should leave now.

You can't leave now.

I have to report for work tomorrow.

I almost forgot.

Let's go.

What about Shin-ae?

It's all right.

Can you take me home?

Yes.

Can we leave now?

Let's go.

I'll take you home.

Shin-ae wants to see you upstairs.

I don't feel sorry for you.

I don't.

Don't I look pitiable to you? I said no.

I don't feel sorry for you.

Because...

I'm going to protect you from now on.

What were you thinking?

Calm down.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

Let's not tell Mom.

Let's not tell Mom about Eun-suh.

Shin-ae.

It's only been a few years since Mom got better.

She got sick because she missed Eun-suh.

Must you put it that way?

I'm sorry.

But I want to let Eun-suh meet Mom.

That's the only thing I can do for her.

As usual, you have no consideration for me.

Now that you've found Eun-suh, I don't mean anything to you?

Yoon Shin-ae!

That's right. I'm Yoon Shin-ae, your sister.

I was lonely.

Mom was sick from missing Eun-suh,

and you and Dad felt uncomfortable with me...

It was difficult for me.

What will happen to me

if Eun-suh enters our life again?

I never wanted to see Eun-suh again.

Let's think about it.

Let's think about it until they return.

Hello?

Joon-suh?

- Where are you? - I'm at school.

I came straight here after taking Yumi to the airport.

You didn't go to work?

When do you finish today? You get off early, right?

Someone is looking for you.

What do you want?

You have a pretty good punch.

- It hurt for days. - What do you want?

- Eun-suh... - You met Eun-suh?

No, I'm sure she's doing fine.

She has a great guardian after all.

But Mom's fallen sick.

I'm not asking for much.

Excuse me.

Wait.

Professor, what would the school say if you were living with a girl?

What would happen if Eun-suh's boss finds out?

Thanks.

I'll come and see you often.

After all, we're from the same hometown.

You jerk. You're a terrible person.

Why are you doing this?

Why do you make me so pathetic? Why do you trouble Brother, too?

- I'm all right. - Why are you doing this to me?

Eun-suh, it's all right with me.

Tae-suhk.

You still have that habit of latching onto people?

- You started work already? - No, I start next week.

I just came to say hello.

Buy me lunch.

What do you mean?

I'm not going to eat with you from now on.

Why not? You've got another woman?

How did you know that?

Who is she?

How many months is she good for?

I'm not kidding.

I met with Chairman before I came down.

My father?

He told me to get married instead of work.

Give it up.

I told you I'm not eating with women from now on.

This is good.

Enjoy it. It's the last meal I'm buying you.

Why are you so late?

Today is the cleaning day.

I forgot. We'll start now.

You know what the students said to me?

They told me I look like one of the students.

They thought I was lying.

Do I look that young?

What do you think? Do I really look that young?

No, you look old. Like a grandpa.

What?

You were scary earlier.

I'm strong, you know.

I'm sorry.

I wouldn't have given him money if I'd known you'd be so upset.

It's all right.

Are you happy you met me again?

Who?

Don't you know Yoon Joon-suh? Eun-suh's former brother.

Then they...

They came back from the States?

What's wrong?

Shin-ae...

This is harder than I thought.

Let's race to the hotel entrance.

Are you sure? I guess you have money to burn.

Then it's a game.

If you win, I buy breakfast. If I win, I get a kiss.

Start.

It'll take you some time to learn all the work.

I'll be counting on your help.

They're lasting a while this time.

Forget it.

I'm not eating with other women from now on.

I haven't had the time to learn all my responsibilities yet.

You're not in for a big change.

I'll be counting on your support.

Please do your best at your work.

Is that really Shin-ae?

Shin-ae.

Long time no see, Yi Kang-hee.

Yes, it has been.

It's so good to see you. I knew you'd come to our department.

You're glad to see me?

I asked Tae-suhk for the position.

What is this about Manager Kim Moon-jung getting fired because of you?

Did you ask Tae-suhk to do it?

What are you saying?

I don't think it's a good idea for us to be seen together like this.

You should go back to work.

See you later.

Shin-ae.

Mom.

Shin-ae.

You're Shin-ae, aren't you?

Shin-ae!

Shin-ae!

Mom.

Everything turned out great.

I guess they kept their promise.

Their promise to raise her well...

Wasn't she pretty?

She was, wasn't she?

Yes.

Did she do well in school?

Yes.

What do I do?

I couldn't keep my promise.

I've done a terrible job raising you.

I shouldn't have switched you back...

I shouldn't have...

I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for you.

I'm so sorry...

Is that Eun-suh?

What is it?

I was just goofing around.

Goofing around?

It's not as a sister, is it?

You don't love her as a sister, do you?

Shin-ae.

Mom's been sick?

Was she very sick?

She couldn't recognize me or Joon-suh for a while.

It was as if she was living in a dream with you.

It's my fault...

I'm not blaming you.

But if you're living with Joon-suh, you'll eventually meet Mom

and I'm afraid she'll get sick again.

And I'm sure Joon-suh feels bad for Yumi.

You and Joon-suh are strangers.

I don't think Yumi knows that.

I'm sorry.

I know I shouldn't do this to you.

But it was very difficult for us.

We've finally settled down.

Eun-suh, I'm afraid.

I'm afraid things will go back to the way they were.

I won't let it.

What do you mean?

Will it solve everything if I leave?

If I leave...

This is your favorite, right?

This is good too.

What's gotten into you?

When did you make all these? Did you get off early?

I made all your favorites. Aren't I a good girl?

Thank you for a wonderful meal.

You've never seen me eat before?

It's not the first time, but I haven't seen it often enough.

You'll see me eat until you get tired of me now.

I'll get water.

Remember this?

You take it back now.

I've kept it until now.

It's your turn now. Don't break it.

We can't be together if you break it.

Do you want more soup?

Eun-suh!

Where are you going?

Brother.

Let's go back in.

Yoon Eun-suh.

I'm not Yoon Eun-suh.

I'm Choi Eun-suh now.

I'm not the old Eun-suh anymore.

I thought I'd be happy if I met you again.

So while life was hard, I looked forward to the day I'd see you again.

I've lived so hard.

I was happy.

I was proud of myself.

But now that I've met you, I'm not happy at all.

Why am I so foolish? Why do I feel so pathetic?

I wish we hadn't met again.

That's not true.

Don't do this. Let's go inside.

I'll leave. Let me go.

Let's pretend we never met.

I think everyone will be happier that way.

You can't go.

You can't.

Don't go.

Don't go, Eun-suh.

I won't let you go.

So what if you're not my sister?

Let's stay together.

Let's stay together, Eun-suh.

Don't leave.

I won't let you go.

You want to go to the beach?

You brought everything. Thank you.

You come here often.

You should just marry him already.

I came because Joon-suh said he had something to tell me.

Maybe he wants to talk about wedding plans.

Well, I don't think Joon-suh wants to marry me.

He never talks about the wedding.

Then go out with me.

- Can I tell Eun-suh that? - Come on.

It's strange.

I don't know why you're so popular with women.

That's because...

Just the other day,

I fired a manger who was giving Eun-suh a hard time.

You did?

That must've put Eun-suh in a spot.

Why?

Her co-workers must've given her a hard time.

Really?

Your coffee is ready.

You're going to paint again?

I thought you quit after school.

It's a secret.

I know.

You're going to paint someone.

Eun-suh?

Yes.

How did you know?

Men are strange.

All artists want to draw the women they love.

Really?

I've never painted women before.

I guess you weren't serious about them.

I guess you really love Eun-suh.

Why is my heart racing?

Maybe it's broken.

Does it look that way?

It does.

Has Joon-suh painted you a lot?

He hasn't?

He hasn't painted me yet.

He said I'm too pretty for him to paint.

That doesn't make any sense.

Joon-suh is...

It's all right. I knew it all along.

It's not a bad idea to marry someone you understand and respect.

You're a great person.

To be honest, I try to talk myself into believing that.

But it becomes unbearable when I wake up.

Joon-suh.

I have something to say to you. I'll come to Seoul this weekend.

No, I'll come. I have a few things for Tae-suhk, too.

You went to see Tae-suhk?

Were you surprised when I told you to come?

I have something to tell you.

I do, too.

Joon-suh, let's get married.

Let's get married.

I don't want to be separated from you any longer.

Let's get married.

Yumi. To be honest, I was upset.

You decided to move to Sokcho,

and live with Eun-suh all by yourself.

You even lied to me about Eun-suh being your cousin.

- Eun-suh is... - We were going to get married anyway.

Look at me.

Look at me, please.

Don't you love me?

You don't love me?

I thought I could grow to love you if I tried.

I thought I had to tell you since I liked you.

I have to tell you the truth.

No. I'm leaving.

I don't want to hear it.

I won't. I won't hear it.

Yumi.

I will never give you up.

I'll call you.

Did you see the new manager that came with Shin-ae?

No, but I did hear he was very handsome.

What are you doing?

I'm thinking about him.

I wish I could sleep all day and dream about him.

There you go again.

At least I dream. What about you?

It'd be wonderful if you could meet a man like Joon-suh.

But Joon-suh is not really your brother.

You're not related by blood.

No, but you're like real siblings.

- Do you need something? - Do you need something, sir?

You forgot, "sir."

You smiled.

Don't you think I've gotten good at making you laugh?

If you don't need anything, please excuse me.

I'm sorry.

You know how to say sorry.

You've changed, Brother

Brother?

Brother...

Why did you page me?

Have a seat.

Sit.

Remember Manager Kim?

Manager Kim?

She'll be returning to housekeeping.

I didn't just give an order this time.

I apologized to her. I even bowed my head.

Is this the kind of man you want?

I can't live without you now.

Don't make me wait any longer. Just be with me.

Be with me.

Am I bothering you?

Yes, you are.

Aren't you hungry? Should I go buy some snacks?

Sure.

Joon-suh?

Excuse me.

Who might you be?

I'm Yumi's mother.

You must be Joon-suh's cousin.

Yes.

Yumi talked a lot about you.

Do you live here?

Yes.

Why does Joon-suh want to break up with Yumi?

Break up?

Don't you know anything?

What happened to you?

Do you know how Yumi is doing now?

How can you do this to her?

How can you not even come to see her when she's in the hospital?

Is she very sick?

I'm sorry.

Are you really the same man I used to know?

How could you do this?

Is there another woman?

Joon-suh.

Did you really break up with Yumi?

Why?

There is someone else I love.

My mom was here, wasn't she?

Yes.

What did she say?

Were you there too?

Did you and Joon-suh have a fight?

It wasn't a big fight, but...

I didn't know my mom would come see him.

Eun-suh...

I need your help.

You can help me.

You're the only one who can help me.

Joon-suh will do anything for you.

Since you're his precious sister...

Please, help me.

I've been sickly since I was a baby

and didn't have many friends.

I know I can't do much for Joon-suh,

and I thought of leaving him many times.

But now I know.

I'm nothing without Joon-suh.

I know Joon-suh is only staying with me out of obligation.

I know that, but I still want to hold on to him.

I'm sorry.

Don't say that.

Don't.

If you live with Joon-suh, you'll eventually meet Mom again

and I'm afraid she'll get sick again.

I can't live without you now.

Don't make me wait any longer. Just be with me.

Be with me.

I thought about leaving Joon-suh many times.

But now I know.

I'm nothing without Joon-suh.

Choi Eun-suh.

What's wrong?

I'm shameless.

So I have no regard for others and take whatever I want.

And I discard whatever I don't like.

Why don't you give me a chance?

You can trust me.
