Original subtitles

(All characters, places, companies,)

(and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)

All right. Attention.

Stop what you're doing for a minute, and gather around.

Hurry.

Mr. Kwon.

Everyone.

The person that used to use the office around the corner...

has left our company.

However, Mr. Baek Seung Soo left on good terms.

He tarnished our team's name...

by scouting a player named Kill,

then he got involved in an employment corruption.

They're enough to get him fired, but...

Later. Go argue later.

There was no employment corruption.

Also, why is he bringing up Kill Chang Ju now?

Are you going to fight with him in front of all these people?

But this is wrong.

Reasons aren't important.

An organization cares more about the procedure.

But, since we care about Mr. Baek Seung Soo's future,

we decided to let him resign voluntarily.

Until he finds a new job,

we'll secure the remainder of his annual salary.

He's really something.

Why is he telling that to us?

Until the new general manager starts their post,

everyone will get additional workload.

I hope you'll all put in a bit more effort.

We can easily replace a single person's vacancy.

Where's Mr. Baek right now?

I wouldn't know.

It's unfair that you're making him responsible for scouting...

Kill Chang Ju at this point.

Also, Baek Young Soo was hired in a fair process.

I heard that both you and Kyung Taek...

picked him knowing who he is.

We did, but...

Ms. Lee, I understand.

Anyway, please focus on getting the team normalized.

I am not sure what you mean by "understand".

I understand that you're loyal to Mr. Baek.

I want you to go out and think about how we should normalize the team.

I'm telling you that you're the temporary general manager.

Why?

If I leave this room without being able to accept what happened,

I won't be able to act as the temporary general manager,

nor think about how we could normalize the team.

Baek Seung Soo was okay with this compromise.

We also allowed his little brother to stay.

Who do you think will see the most damage...

if you do this?

What if his brother also gets fired...

because of your ridiculous chivalry?

(CEO's Office)

(Mr. Baek Seung Soo)

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.

Hello?

What?

No, it's not confirmed yet. I'm going to take care of it.

How did you know about what happened with our team?

What?

- Mr. Byun. - What?

Don't you have any comradeship?

You know I have no power.

Mr. Baek left just 10 minutes ago.

How can there be an article about his voluntary resignation already?

It's not possible unless you prepared it in advance.

We do this with our players too.

It's the same thing we do with the players.

Is there a law that says I can't do it with Mr. Baek?

We could get fired just like him.

If I don't write the article, I'll end up like him.

Sure.

You were ordered,

so you did as you were told.

I'm going to go back and speak up.

It's not fair to make Mr. Baek leave like this.

The rest of you...

will sit still, won't you?

Mr. Baek isn't friendly, but...

were any of you disappointed at his attitude...

towards work or at his abilities?

Or...

Do some of you believe this is just?

(General Manager Baek Seung Soo)

I'm a little busy.

Were you in here?

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

Because I'm busy.

Do you have any idea what's going on?

If you do, why aren't you doing anything?

I'm trying to let out everything that's in my head.

You're just going to accept it as is?

You can either leave or stay quietly.

What do you want to do?

In this USB are materials I gathered...

thinking I'd last here for a while.

Please hand it over to the new general manager.

Are you just going to quit like this?

If I may confess,

I thought the Dreams was like a team of pigs who are full...

since they weren't worried about losing every time.

However, I don't think they are that bad.

Sometimes,

they do their best.

It's not what I assumed after seeing their scores.

And sometimes,

they go beyond their best and showed me their sweat.

I...

was moved by that.

Also, I want you to be the temporary general manager.

I don't want to.

You're no longer my boss. Why should I listen to you?

- It's only temporary. - Even if it's temporary.

If Mr. Kwon Kyung Min orders me,

do I have no right to refuse it?

The only thing Mr. Kwon Kyung Min and I agreed on...

after we decided I'd leave was this.

It's Mr. Kwon Kyung Min's order,

and my last advice.

I have no feelings or attachment for the Dreams.

I only worked hard because it was my job.

In a way,

I think I should've done this from the start.

(Promotion Manager)

He didn't do anything wrong, so why is he being demoted?

On top of that, to a ssireum team?

They think he caved in after his brother got injured.

He doesn't even have anything to do with sports.

Exactly.

The ssireum team is supposed to disband soon.

You have a secret plan, don't you?

I bet you have something planned.

I'm sure you'll return and surprise everyone. Right?

I have no reason to.

My annual salary's guaranteed, even if I don't work.

You don't work just for the pay.

It is for the pay.

One who works just for the pay doesn't work this hard.

Why did you give us hope to begin with?

There are people who can't do things moderately.

And...

I don't believe that working hard always brings good results.

I never thought so, not even once.

You brought good results. All your previous teams won.

Thank you for seeing me out.

Mr. Baek was a bit rough.

What's rough like?

People should adapt.

He went against his boss.

So, is that guy any good?

Yes.

Then he should've applied to another club.

We knew when we hired him.

Yes, even if that were so,

if things got this bad,

shouldn't he leave as well?

Let's get back to work.

Hey. He must know what everyone thinks.

Why is he still here?

Can we get back to work already?

Why...

We're here to discuss the second round pick.

As you all know, our general manager resigned.

Oh, dear. Why did he do things the way he did?

He started a whole load of things. Just look at this mess.

Oh, well.

I'm filling in for him temporarily.

I invited all the coaches to hear what you think.

Let's confirm the list of protected players first.

You have a copy of the list we came up with.

Why isn't Yoo Seung Woo here?

He was in the first division for years.

He was usually sent in to pitch when the team is losing.

His ERA is the about the same each year,

but his left-on-base percentage is improving.

Out of the players we suggested to be on the list,

that's the Analysis Department's recommendation.

It's a bit odd. Yoo Kyung Taek.

Are you trying to show off that you're working?

It's against common sense on the field.

You mean your thoughts, not common sense.

And unless you're head coach, can you speak politely in meetings?

Even if you're a senior.

Hey, you at the end. Who are you?

The Analysis Department's data analyst.

Oh, the general manager's brother?

His name is Baek Young Soo.

He wrote a baseball column...

Leave it. I heard that way too many times.

He should've stuck to writing a baseball column.

Do we have to do as he says from now on?

What a mess.

- Excuse me? - It wouldn't be this bad...

even with Mr. Baek.

- This is unbelievable. - It's good to try new things.

But I'm not too sure.

Have a good day.

Are you flustered by how things changed so suddenly?

My brother contacted me.

He said I'm dead if I quit.

He says things like that to you?

It makes me think he doesn't know me well.

Why would I quit?

If I were to leave too, we'd both become trash.

One's a fool who got fired for hiring his brother.

The other is an incompetent jerk who tried to take someone else's spot.

(CEO's Office)

The CEO went home.

- When? - A short while ago.

Mr. Kill?

- Yes? - It's you.

The naturalized American.

- Who are you? - The acting club owner.

Did you fire Mr. Baek?

Yes.

Take that back.

My gosh. What right do you have to ask?

It's all my fault.

I gave a careless interview.

And?

I messed up my life.

I made some wrong decisions...

and Mr. Baek paid the price instead.

It sounds like you feel that you're in debt to Mr. Baek.

I'll tell you of a better way.

When the season starts,

play some amazing baseball.

That'll do.

Will Mr. Baek come back then?

No.

Later on, I can say...

"He was actually a great general manager."

I'll be able to reminisce.

That's good enough.

Let's go.

[VIU Ver] SBS E17 'Hot Stove League' "Seung Soo Leaves the Dreams" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

In this USB are materials I gathered...

thinking I'd last here for a while.

Please hand it over to the new general manager.

(The Dreams Championship Plan)

(2020 Pro-baseball The Dreams Championship Plan)

(2020 Pro-baseball The Dreams Championship Plan)

What? What is it?

I'd given up as well.

But once I read the files, I just had to come here.

Is there an issue with the files? It's just a reference.

For someone who just quit like this,

you had a huge dream.

To win the championship.

All the files in the USB.

Yes. Would someone get to work without setting a goal like that?

We're not the type to be nice to each other,

but we had a kind of camaraderie.

We'll work alongside you.

Come back to work, sir.

Don't call me that.

Call me Baek Seung Soo.

Can't you at least ask me to help you?

You must show the will if we're to do something.

No. Do what is best for the Dreams.

Come on.

I was guaranteed my annual salary.

Why would you say something so crass?

It's the best chance to prepare for something else while being paid.

You love the Dreams.

You called us pigs with full bellies.

That's a joke.

- That's what I once... - I know you're good at what you do.

But you're only good at doing tasks you're faced with.

Even pigs can eat what's in front of them.

Not even such insults will change my mind.

I was incapable of doing so,

but I had a clear goal that I'd make the Dreams stronger.

What is your goal?

Your pay?

Yes.

I took the job because I was guaranteed a huge annual salary.

Is it a problem that money is important to me?

You accomplished your goal then.

I'm left to...

accomplish mine now.

Thank you for letting me dream, however brief the dream was.

Baek Seung Soo.

- What are you doing? - Can't you see?

Wash your hands and take the guts out of anchovies with me.

What was your goal?

It wasn't to take the guts out of anchovies, at least.

Then how did you end up like this?

Because cleaned anchovies are pricey.

I mean,

why did you give up on your goal in life?

Are you going to help me or not?

(Pantry)

Well...

Well...

- Let's go out. - Okay.

Eat some.

I already ate on my way.

Are you sure?

Why didn't you eat dinner until now?

Kyung Chul's dad offered me some rice cake.

I didn't have an appetite after eating it.

I'll visit more often from now on.

Did something bad happen?

I just...

got fired.

I thought it was serious.

This is serious.

It's not serious as long as you're healthy and sound.

You should've get some rest instead of coming here.

When would I come if I don't at a time like this?

I'm telling you. I came here to rest.

That's why I came.

(Approval Needed)

(Percentage of Pitches Thrown for Different Situations)

This needs to be approved by the general manager,

but is it right I get the approval from you?

Yes, I'll take a look at it.

(General Manager)

- This is from Promotion Department. - What?

The promotion manager seems to find it difficult around you...

after getting scolded by you.

That's not really necessary though.

Wait, what's that?

I need the operations manager's approval on this.

Give it to me if this is for the Operations Department.

Do you want to die?

- What? - You aren't experienced enough...

to take a look at what needs my approval.

You even skipped lunch because of work.

I'm eating the sandwich you got me.

I'm grateful for your intention,

but don't be presumptuous.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Just do your job.

Seung Soo.

- Seung Soo. - Yes?

You must've been tired.

No, it's because I drove here.

You should go meet your father.

Right.

Let's go.

Seung Soo is here.

You brat.

I guess he forgot your face because you didn't come for a long time.

Father, I'm here.

He'll be back to himself later in the afternoon.

We've received the list of players from other franchises...

whom we can choose in the second round pick.

Let's take a look at it first.

We can go with Shin Min Kwang,

the middle relief pitcher of the Pelicans, or Cha Dong Joo.

Shin Min Kwang is better.

As for that player, his performances are getting worse consistently...

after his surgery from four years ago.

His strength is fastball,

but its spin rate is dropping more and more.

We should be expecting less this year.

I rather recommend Kim Se In of the Whales...

who played as a substitute starter from time to time.

His defense rate is only a bit high,

but if you look at his performances on away games...

Why did you call us in if you were going to do this?

We invited you over so we could share opinions.

Not to write down your opinions.

It's absurd to dispute our opinions...

with computer results like records and indices.

And you. Have you seen players throw a ball from up close?

Forget your darn spin rate talk.

Can you take their balls on the batter's box?

What is the meaning of this?

I'm okay, ma'am.

I think it's better we just go.

Yes, if you're going to continue talking like this.

When you...

made mistakes on your strategy,

changing pitchers, or using replacements,

did we ever throw a fit at you?

- Why you little... - I have agreed...

on this guy's opinion.

Say that I haven't seen players throw a ball from up close!

Hey!

You're crossing the line here.

Coaches.

Just get out.

Let's hear whom they will pick before we go.

No, which position is it that you'll pick?

Tell them.

In terms of positions,

we're planning to pick three outfielders.

You're fantastically bad at your work.

Are you clueless of what positions we need in the field...

unless we tell you?

If then, listen to us already.

- You agreed on this? - Yes.

How impressive.

- We'll go. - Well, there's a reason.

We don't want our plan to be too obvious.

So we're thinking of recruiting skilled players than needed players.

And use those players as trade cards.

There are good outfielders on the list this time.

(Outfielders)

If you look at all two rounds,

the franchises that need outfielders...

have players that we really want.

They have strong backup catchers...

and backup infielders.

According to the recent trend in their trades,

franchises are more drastic in trading backup players...

instead of major players.

There's also a recent example.

Kim Eun Dong was the third-rank outfielder of the Sabres,

but he became a key player of the Redhawks.

("Things to Look for in 2nd Round Draft With Various New Strategies")

(2019 KPB Draft)

(Each franchise can name up to 3 players...)

(who aren't included in the list.)

One who works just for the pay doesn't work this hard.

Why did you give us hope to begin with?

You planned for us to win.

All the files in the USB.

It was to win the championship.

(2019 KPB Draft)

Our goal today is to allow no more than two players to go,

while scouting the players on our list.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Now, you can each pray to whichever deity you believe in.

Please help the Dreams...

Please give me strength.

Please help us, I beg you.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Come on.

(2019 KPB Draft)

- Can you check this for me? - Okay.

Gosh. They must have started already.

Started what?

That?

Why are you concerning yourself with the second draft?

I'm not concerned.

Even if they scout good players,

nothing will change much.

It's the first thing they're doing without Mr. Baek.

It'd be good if they do a good job.

(2019 KPB Draft)

Hello, Ms. Lee.

Hello.

By the way, what happened to Mr. Baek?

It just turned out that way.

It's nothing for us to meddle in,

but it's unfortunate.

He wouldn't pick up his phone either.

I'm sure he'll pick up when he gets himself sorted.

You should talk to him then.

- Right. - Yes?

Do you plan on using...

- Jang Il Sun and Lee Han Ju? - Of course.

But if Vikings want them...

Gosh. You are doing it again.

I thought it was just Mr. Baek,

but you're doing it too. I know you took them for trading.

Let's try to see what we can arrange soon.

Okay.

- Is that him? - Yes.

He's the one who contributed the most today. Mr. Baek Young Soo.

Okay, I'll see you another time. Congratulations.

Take care.

- Yes! - Yes!

(2019 KPB Draft)

Me too.

("Experts Say Dreams Is the Winner of the Second Round Draft")

Today, we didn't lose any players.

No, we didn't.

We got two batters who could...

play right away, and one pitcher.

- So? - I will happily pay for all the...

Sit down unless you want to die.

Okay.

You all worked hard although the situation wasn't the best.

I don't know what will happen to us in the future,

but let's prepare hard during the winter...

so that we'll get to play baseball this season until it gets cold!

Good work. Have some.

- You too. - Sure.

Right. Young Soo.

I don't know if I can ask this right now, but...

You can't.

It's about your brother.

Why does he always take pictures of food?

He does that...

to send to Mom.

You're so boring, Young Soo.

Doesn't he have a girlfriend?

Why?

It looked like you were eating properly these days,

so why do you look so thin and pale?

Should I stop nagging?

It's okay, you can keep nagging.

Also, you can stop sending me pictures.

I'm going to keep on sending them.

He says he feels at ease when Mom worries...

about his meals.

Okay. Make sure you send them.

You better not forget.

It would mean Mom's still hanging in there.

She still has the capacity to worry about us.

He sends them to her to check.

By the way,

how long are you going to stay?

Let me rest here a little longer.

You should rest somewhere else.

Go on a trip, or go home.

You can't get back on your feet if you sit out for too long.

You should go and try to live your best again.

I still get paid without working. Also,

I don't have anything to do anyway.

But I don't like having you here.

My brother thinks he's responsible...

for my injury because he got me to play baseball.

But it was an accident.

When I got hurt,

our dad fainted.

Seung Soo thinks that was his fault too.

I know he left quietly so he could still get his salary.

It's unlike him to do that,

but I understand him when I consider his situation.

He can't save up no matter how much he works...

because of the hospital bills.

He's managing the hospital fees by himself,

and he wanted me to find a stable job.

He even paid for my tuition...

After our father fell ill,

his company advised him to resign.

Why did they advise that?

That's because he looked like he lost his mind.

He looked as if he'd make trouble.

(Congratulations on winning the team match)

He was a clueless office worker,

and they sent him to manage a ssireum team scheduled to disband.

That's how he got to where he is now.

(SK Sinheung Construction Ssireum Team)

I got where I am...

by eating away at my brother's youth.

Then all the teams kept on disbanding.

No one ever defended Mr. Baek.

No one.

Follow me.

Get your hand off me.

I don't know what humiliation is since I have no honor.

Are you like that too?

Read this.

See it for yourself, how a false news can harm someone.

Are you telling me to broadcast this?

All I did was edit parts of Chang Ju's interview.

It's another news company that mentioned Baek Young Soo.

I know. We're going to hold a press conference on it ourselves.

Think about what Kim Young Chae...

the journalist can do.

They're here.

Thank you for attending our press conference.

We're holding this press conference...

to speak upon the rumors regarding unfair hiring practices...

that are allegedly taking place in our team.

Before the job interview, we did not know...

that the job applicant is Mr. Baek Seung Soo's brother.

At the interview, Mr. Baek Seung Soo...

gave applicant Baek Young Soo the lowest score,

but the analysis manager and I gave him perfect scores.

As previously announced, we took in the applicant...

who received the highest sum of all scores on the interviews.

And that is how all of this happened.

What was the point of holding that press conference?

Why did you have to waste reporters' precious time like that?

We did that to recover the fallen honor of our team.

It was already over with Baek Seung Soo quitting.

It wasn't something that someone should take the fall for.

And it was more important for us to tell the world the truth.

Seriously?

Father, I'll be back soon.

Make sure you drink some coffee if you get drowsy while driving.

Yes, Mom.

Why didn't your wife and your child come?

What are you talking about?

Seung Soo, you should get going. The traffic is going to get bad.

Did you two not work things out yet?

Come on, let's go.

Yes.

(Operation Room)

I'm sorry.

Mom and Dad are doing good, right?

Yes.

I should visit them too. I've just been calling them.

You did well.

What?

I won't say it twice.

I'm Kim Young Chae on "Baseball Life".

The second round draft, which takes place every two years,

took place yesterday.

People are saying that the Dreams is the winner...

of the second round draft.

It seems like their fans are quite happy about it as well.

It was expected that the Dreams would try to...

fill their weaker positions,

but rather than focusing on filling certain positions,

they chose star players...

that we didn't expect to see at the second round draft.

Starting from the recruitment of Kang Doo Ki and Kim Kwan Sik...

and the news that Chang Ju is throwing good pitches recently,

people are indeed admitting that the Dreams is quite a strong team now.

The member of the Dreams...

that contributed the most to this second round draft is...

supposedly Mr. Baek Seung Soo's acquaintance.

According to the news that just came in,

this very analysis manager is...

the columnist who specializes in data analysis and has been...

writing under the name of Robinson on a baseball website.

(Mr. Baek Seung Soo's Brother and His Shocking Work Experience!)

(As it turns out, Baek Young Soo is a gifted baseball data analyst.)

(He's none other than the Robinson of...)

(Heat Changes Everything, Even Baseball.)

(Robinson probably chose the Dreams for his brother.)

(Look up Robinson online, you'll be amazed.)

(Please come back, Seung Soo. He even gave up his salary.)

(We're sorry, please come back and save the Dreams.)

(Who told you to quit? Please come back, Mr. Baek!)

Hello?

Yes?

Yes.

Will do.

Okay.

We'd like to apologize to you...

for receiving so much criticism...

due to our malicious editing of the interview.

No, it's okay.

I hear that you are here today...

because you wanted to say something to the viewers.

Yes, because "Baseball Life" is...

the most-viewed show by baseball fans.

I know I've been causing a lot of anger...

and a sense of deprivation...

regarding my citizenship status.

I'd like to be honest now.

I talked to the Military Manpower Administration before coming here.

Apparently, if I retrieve my Korean citizenship...

after this season, I can enlist for the military.

I'd like to try my best on the Dreams this season,

then enlist.

From then on, I'll become a proud husband...

and a proud father.

A proud father?

I had a son recently.

Congratulations.

To be honest, I had discussed just playing this one season,

retrieving my Korean citizenship and enlisting...

with Mr. Baek much earlier.

I'd like to apologize...

and sincerely thank Mr. Baek Seung Soo.

As options for the solution, we can improve the duty-free malls,

improve the business hotels,

or place high-end brands at the mall.

(Chairman)

Yes, Chairman.

Then why didn't you tell people...

that you were going to enlist during your press conference?

Had you announced it earlier,

people wouldn't have gotten so mad at you.

I wasn't brave enough...

and I needed time to think.

Mr. Baek Seung Soo is...

really innocent.

Hello?

What happened?

Why is Kill Chang Ju enlisting?

Let's meet up.

I'll send you the address. Let's meet there.

Are you going out on a date? What does he do?

He's jobless.

A jobless man? I don't like the sound of that.

He's at least tall and handsome, right?

Sure, a jobless man is still a man.

Can you explain?

I found out about it at the same time as you did.

If he enlists like that,

what about his family?

It's not a bad choice...

for Chang Ju.

Chang Ju wants to...

be a proud father.

But is that all that he thought about?

Don't you think that...

at least a small part of him wanted to do this,

so that you're not left in the dark like this?

Come back.

Are you saying that I can come back...

just because Chang Ju is enlisting?

Objectively speaking, all that Chang Ju is doing is...

enlisting a little later than everyone else.

Please come back, not because you feel bad for him,

but because you want to be responsible for the team.

What gets better from my returning?

Do you think...

we placed last every time, since this team was first formed?

When we had a chance to seize,

we were struck with trouble.

When we got our hopes up,

our hopes were blasted right away.

We didn't have anyone...

who could prevent and stop it from happening to us.

Do you believe...

that I can be that someone if I return?

No.

I just want your support...

because we'll put our effort too.

What?

The competent general manager...

was forced to resign due to his conflict with the club owner.

If that truth gets revealed, you'll be put in a mess.

On the other hand,

you can settle this by making it a heartwarming story...

that you suggested a paid break...

to the general manager who suddenly fell sick,

but he came back with a sense of responsibility.

Choose between the two.

What nonsense are you saying?

Why would I make such a decision?

I know you're pretty concerned about regional issues.

Your group is regional-based.

It's favored by many consumers closely related to daily life.

You shouldn't do something...

that could cause a bigger loss than the club.

Hey.

You're being criticized for employment corruption...

This office is so well-equipped,

but does it not have any Internet connection?

Or are you ignoring public opinions?

Baek Seung Soo.

When I offered a deal, you agreed and left.

Why are you making a fuss now?

What do you want?

I just want to go back to what I have done so far.

The championship.

You're a lunatic.

Hey, listen carefully.

The chairman has called me anyway.

He wants you back.

But...

I'm going to defy his order for the first time in my life.

You know, I have a strong pride.

Stronger than you can imagine.

- Congratulations - Congratulations

- Congratulations - Congratulations

- Congratulations on your return - Congratulations on your return

Couldn't he at least say something?

Well, I guess he's full...

just to see us eat.

He can't see us eat if he walks away like that.

He also has a lot of work to do.

I mean, we tried so hard...

to make him return.

He's so weird.

I'm sorry.

That's not it.

I consider you as our colleague.

It's not that I forgot about your presence.

Congratulations, Mr. Baek.

Come in.

- Mr. Baek. - Yes?

We'd like to hold a get-together to celebrate your comeback today.

I can't make it. I have a lot of work waiting to be done.

It's to celebrate your comeback,

but you won't be there?

I see.

- Look. - Yes?

Tell them I appreciate it.

Okay.

I'll make sure to do that.

I bought this from my friend's store.

It tastes much better than Kopi Luwak coffee or something like that.

Thank you.

Mr. Baek...

came back like that.

I wonder if you are okay with it.

Oh, that.

The chairman wanted him back anyway.

The chairman?

But why are you in a great mood?

Find a general manager who is stupider,

but more obedient than Baek Seung Soo.

But Mr. Baek returned.

He signed a new contract.

(The Dreams Annual Salary Contract)

(I will resign voluntarily on March 28...)

(when the opening game of the 2020 regular season is held.)

"Resign voluntarily"?

How should I stand seeing his face until spring?

He's very grateful to us!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

For Mr. Baek's comeback,

- cheers! - Cheers!

Can you believe he wrote that article in 10 minutes?

Goodness.

Let's drink a couple shot.

That's enough.

Cheers.

- Here. - Oh, okay.

Of all the days I've seen you, you look the happiest today.

I wish my brother enjoys it on a day like today.

Enjoy what?

That there are people who protect him.

He isn't someone who has to protect others all the time.

I wish he enjoys that feeling.

Mr. Baek.

I heard you came back.

Why did you do that?

It was the right thing to do.

You're a father.

You've got one more in your family to be responsible for.

The first thing you would do...

is to leave your family's side for two years?

It's not like we're in the US.

Both my wife's parents and my parents are here in Korea.

I'm getting paid thanks to you too.

That's ridiculous.

You're responsible for your family.

Mr. Baek.

All my family...

is so grateful to you.

My wife agreed on it too.

Mr. Baek.

I gave him my consent. I made sure he did it.

He's our treasure.

Will you try holding him?

I...

can't hold babies.

He's adorable.

Then do hold him. I'm about to feel sad.

Is it okay for someone like me...

to hold a child?
