By the way,

how come your boyfriend didn't make it today?

Sorry?

I was hoping to finally meet him.

What did you say he does for a living?

She said he'll be a professor soon.

No, he's a lecturer, not a professor.

I see.

He'll get there eventually. Goodness.

A star writer and a professor. What a power couple.

See? Now I'm even more curious.

You should've told him to come.

I guess he's a little busy.

What? Come on. His girlfriend won a major award,

and he's "too busy"?

Come on, let's go.

All right, thanks.

You guys go on ahead. I'll be right in.

Why? Are you going to call your boyfriend?

Tell him to come, even if it's late. I really want to meet him.

Hey.

Hey!

Is this why you didn't show up?

- You can see for yourself. - Why are you working as a driver?

I need the money. Am I doing this for fun?

That's what I'm asking! What could you need the money for?

- I'm busy. I got a ride request. - Seo Jun Seo.

For a nobody to become a lecturer,

they said I have to pay 5,000 dollars.

They said it's the only way. What else can I do?

You can't be serious.

You'd really pay a bribe for that job?

You'll be a famous author. Can't I have ambitions too?

I have to at least become a lecturer to be a boyfriend you're proud of.

- Then you should have told me. - And how was I supposed to do that?

You would've been ashamed.

You can only brag about a professor boyfriend.

Because you're embarrassed I'm a driver,

you lied to them too, didn't you?

While I'm losing sleep...

driving drunk jerks around,

while you're having interviews and going to award shows.

And what? Designer clothes?

You think I'll be grateful for thousand-dollar clothes?

Why did you even ask me to come today?

Did you need a pathetic accessory to wear that outfit and applaud you?

- You jerk. - You want me to be more honest?

I have absolutely no desire to congratulate you on your award.

When you got congratulatory calls, I felt like trash.

I felt like a freeloading parasite, and it made me sick to my stomach!

So?

So, what?

You're trying to get me to break up, aren't you?

You say it. Say you want to break up.

Well?

You can't even say the words?

Darn.

You pathetic fool.

Get up. Let's go.

You know something?

Jun Kyung lies all the time.

Deep down, she's really weak,

but she pretends to be strong, pretends she's okay.

She pretends to have it all together,

always acting like nothing bothers her.

And she's a terrible liar too.

Before,

whenever something was wrong with Jun Kyung,

she'd tell me every little detail.

But since she met you, having her do that...

gotten really rare.

I'll admit I'm a little bummed about it.

I kind of hold it against you, actually.

But...

I guess that's to be expected.

That's why...

when I got her call today,

I was like, "Yes!"

I was so excited.

But she won't tell me what's wrong.

So I didn't push it.

But...

The Jun Kyung I used to know wasn't like this.

She'd get angry when she was angry,

and she'd cry when she needed to.

Do you...

know what I mean?

I do.

Don't make me laugh.

You have no idea.

She just kept saying it was all her fault.

Okay, fine.

I'm sure Jun Kyung did something wrong.

But even so,

I'm always on her side, no matter what.

I'm completely biased.

Thank you.

From now on,

please always be on her side.

I'm holding you to that.

- Where's Jun Kyung? - She passed out.

My gosh.

Thanks for bringing Soo Jin home, Do Hyun.

And for Jun Kyung too.

Get home safe.

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

Hey. What are you doing? Eat up.

Your noodles are getting soggy.

Right.

(Management Office)

Ja Yeong.

Ja Yeong.

She...

My wife has Alzheimer's disease.

Her phone's off. The battery must be dead.

I've searched everywhere around our campsite.

We don't have any neighbours, so there's nowhere for her to go.

We're reviewing the security video. Just give us a moment.

- Okay. - This is the only road out of camp.

She could've gone toward the mountain.

- Has this ever happened before? - No, this is the first time.

- Is this you right here, sir? - Yes, that's me.

Could this be her?

It looks like she's looking at you, sir.

She seems to be looking at you while on the phone.

(Palbon Village Intersection)

You didn't run into her then?

(Palbon Village Intersection)

(Palbon Police Substation)

A work dinner?

You didn't mention that.

Yes, it was a last-minute thing.

It's one I can't get out of.

So I'm probably going to be pretty late.

All right.

It's been a while. Have some drinks and enjoy yourself.

Okay, don't wait up. Go on to bed.

(Bus Stop)

Hey, Ja Yeong.

Jin Ho.

Did you get on the bus?

No, not yet.

Jin Ho.

So where are you right now?

Listen, Ja Yeong, they're calling for me.

I'll take a cab home, so don't wait up for me.

I've got to go.

Jin Ho...

I'm sorry.

I've made things hard on you again.

I truly wanted you to be happy.

I thought I could be happy by your side too.

But I guess that's not going to happen.

Jin Ho.

Jin Ho.

Jin Ho.

I don't know how long I'll have my memories,

but I hope my last memory...

is of you.

Are you okay?

I'm the one who was wrong. Why are you asking if I'm okay?

You didn't do anything wrong.

I'm the one...

who's sorry.

Thank you for not letting me go.

- Sir. - Yes?

You should go home for now.

We've been in touch with the taxi company,

so we'll call you the moment we hear from the driver.

No, it's okay. I'll wait.

But you've been waiting for so long.

(Serving the community with integrity and care)

As you may already know,

a nursing home is different from a convalescent hospital.

We focus on providing daily care, not medical treatment.

We make sure our residents can eat their meals comfortably...

and live in a safe environment.

We provide care for all aspects of their daily lives.

It's the easiest way to understand what we do.

We have art classes, singing lessons,

as well as exercise and a variety of other programs.

Our staff members and professional caregivers...

treat them like their own family, so you don't need to worry.

So, will it be your father or your mother joining us?

It's me.

- Daniel. - I'm not your son?

Am I really...

not your son?

Why did you lie to me?

Daniel, look at me.

I wasn't trying to lie to you...

I can't trust anyone anymore.

Mom...

is taking me...

back to Germany.

It's all over now.

Nothing matters anymore.

You knew too, didn't you?

That day...

when I came to see you...

You knew even then, didn't you?

You know how much I like you.

So why? Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't have the courage.

I was afraid you'd get hurt. I'm so sorry, Daniel.

Because you accepted me...

and let me live with you,

I was so...

I was...

I was just so happy.

I know. I was happy too, son.

I really was so happy.

None of that matters to me.

I'm...

still your dad,

and you're my son.

Got it?

Yes, this is Officer Park Dong Su from the Palbon Substation.

Yes.

Yes, you said you've located him?

Yes.

Yes, I see.

This stop is the Ian City Promotion Hall.

Next stop, Power Square Mall.

("A Still Relationship")

(The hit new novel, "A Still Relationship" by Ji Hye On)

("A Still Relationship")

(Ji Hye On)

(Professor Song Won Cheol)

Tonight,

with the guy who's always been there for me,

instead of some fancy steak and whiskey,

I want to celebrate with a beer and a pork cutlet from our local joint.

And tomorrow night...

and the night after that...

(On the 29th night of summer, Ji Hye On)

I want to tell him I just want us to stay like this forever.

("A Still Relationship")

Aren't you going to answer that?

Your mom must be worried.

I don't want to.

Let's eat first.

You must be starving. You haven't eaten anything.

Eat up, and then I'll take you home.

(Police)

Are you Daniel?

- Yes. - Your mother reported you missing.

She said you weren't taking calls and thought you were here.

Come out, Daniel.

What do you think you're doing?

What's it to you? What are you, Daniel's dad?

What do you think you're doing?

Please bring my son out here.

Is this woman your mother?

And is he your father?

For now, I think it's best if you go with your mom.

- Daniel. - Sir.

This is the last time.

You will never see Daniel again.

Daniel.

Don't cry. You're not a little kid anymore.

What are you doing?

No matter what anyone else says,

what you want is most important. You know that, right?

Do what your heart tells you. Whatever that is.

Get in.

You said you'd do anything for him. Is this what's best for him?

I don't think that's any of your business.

Oh, her?

She had a consultation and left a little while ago.

There's something magical about sunset.

(For rent)

New buildings and old ones,

people laughing and people fighting...

At this hour, everything just looks equally beautiful, you know?

I used to...

feel so at peace watching the sunset.

I'd think, "Another day well-lived."

But these days,

it just makes me sad.

It's like, "There goes another day."

I used to feel that way too.

Are you really not going back to him?

Why?

Because you think without him,

I won't be okay?

No.

Without you,

I don't think he'll be okay.

You know what a mess he is.

Sometimes...

I even miss his awful jokes.

You're right.

They're really not funny.

He...

is probably still waiting for you.

Look at the state of you.

I thought you said I looked fine.

You really are a mess without me.

I know.

Without you,

I'm a mess.

So...

So, please...

don't leave me.

You win everything you touch. Good heavens.

What's with the surprise visit? You didn't even call.

I want my money back.

What?

I'm turning down the lecturer job.

Hey, what's gotten into you?

I'm not interested in buying a teaching position.

And besides, I never wanted to be a lecturer.

Give me my money back.

Hey, what do you think you're... No, I...

Nationality, gender, age, social status, language...

Two people who seemed to have nothing in common.

For Emma and Ryan, in the unfamiliar land of Korea,

the only way they could communicate...

was through their broken Korean.

But the two do share one other thing.

Loneliness.

Which brings me to a question.

Do you have a favourite line from the book?

- Sorry? - I'm sure you love all you wrote,

but our Night Walk family is curious to know your absolute favourite.

Noticing the shadow on Emma's face, Ryan asked,

"What's wrong?"

"The milk bottles in front of my neighbour's door..."

"kept piling up, so I rang his bell."

"But no one answered."

"It was a lonely death."

"A lonely death?"

"Yes."

"He died from loneliness."

"Then, after a long silence, Emma spoke."

"Isn't that terrifying?"

"The thought that loneliness..."

"can actually be a cause of death."

"Ryan held Emma in his arms."

"And he told her,"

- "It's why some people..." - "It's why some people..."

"need someone else."

"The way I need you."

So you finally read it?

It was really well written.

You deserved the award.

Aren't you going to congratulate me?

Congratulations.

And I guess you're not going to apologise?

I'm sorry. I really am.

Not your hand.

Give me my book.

- What? - I said, give it back.

Right.

I didn't sign one for anyone else. I saved the first for you.

("A Still Relationship")

My very first autograph.

(To my Squirtle, Seo Jun Seo, From Ji Hye On)

I got a lot of criticisms for it.

They said a rookie was putting on airs.

Why?

You know...

You really look like Emma Stone.

Says Ryan Gosling.

I'm hungry.

Let's go get some pork cutlets.

Should we?

It's on me. I'm loaded.

Since when do you have money?

I got the 5,000 dollars back.

I'm not taking the job.

Really?

Then what are you going to do?

I'll have to figure it out. Starting now.

Good for you.

Being an instructor didn't suit you anyway.

But I can still afford to buy you beer and pork cutlets anytime.

(Gestational Age: 20 weeks, Fetal Ultrasound Photo)

(Next Appointment: In 2 weeks)

(The day you were born)

Please take good care of Oscar.

I will.

Take care of yourself.

I'll call you sometimes.

Mom.

Can I go talk to him for a minute?

Don't be too long.

Okay.

Is your hand all right now?

A scar from my defeat, I suppose.

Congratulations. You won.

You must think this is some kind of game.

Strangely, it doesn't feel awkward being alone with you like this.

Why did it have to be Do Hyun?

You came all this way just to ask me that?

(Maternal Health Handbook)

And I had something to return to you.

It's a common story.

A one-night mistake.

After Do Hyun and I broke up, I was struggling and so lonely.

And I was only 20 back then.

I ended up pregnant and was terrified,

but sweet Do Hyun fell for my lie and was overjoyed.

That's why I decided to have Daniel.

I guess that must be why...

I tricked myself into thinking Do Hyun could fill this emptiness.

But you know, Yoon Ju...

loneliness doesn't give you a free pass.

All this time,

it's been great.

Thanks to you.

I didn't know you could talk like that.

So now,

are you not going to call me Dad anymore?

I should get going now.

Be happy with Jun Kyung.

Okay.

I think I'm going to miss you a lot.

Dad.

I wish I could've treated you to somewhere nicer.

What could possibly be better than this?

I'm so glad you seem to be okay.

I was really worried about you.

When most people find out about a thing like that,

they're too embarrassed to reach out.

I'm sorry. Did I overstep?

No.

I'm trying to thank you.

For checking in on me and worrying.

But...

I have a concern of my own. May I ask you something?

- Sure. - Aren't you seeing anyone?

Like a boyfriend?

Spending a perfect day off like this with me, of all people.

There was...

someone I liked.

"Was"? So you two broke up?

No.

He doesn't even know that I liked him.

It was just a one-sided crush,

and in the meantime, he got a girlfriend.

What? If you started to like him,

you should have told him.

It's easy to like someone from afar,

but I guess dating and getting to know someone scared me.

I'm not very courageous, you know.

That's true.

There's misunderstanding, jealousy, fighting, and making up.

All those emotions you can afford to be lazy with when you're alone...

suddenly have to work overtime.

Gosh...

You may not have found the courage to say anything yet,

but I bet someone out there has a crush on you.

Come on.

Should we try being brave together?

But is this really considered being brave?

Isn't trying something new an act of courage?

- Have you ever had a wavy perm? - No, this is my first time.

I think it'll look great on you.

- Then let's get started. - Okay.

Gosh.

What? Does it look weird?

It's because you're so beautiful.

You keep taking my breath away.

This looks about right, doesn't it?

Yes, Hye On, you're a natural.

- The best learn from the best. - And you've got the banter down.

- I'm just going to grab a rag. - Yes, go ahead.

Gosh, you can tell you've done this before.

How's the job hunt going?

Yes, it's going fine.

I'm sure it is.

Undergrad astronomy, your master's in "interdisciplinary studies,"

and now you're applying to the National Weather Service?

You want to forecast the weather when you can't fix your own life?

I'm trying to get my life together, you know?

For the record, it's been a while since I asked you for money.

So stop nagging me.

You still haven't fully paid me back, you know.

Do we have to do this at home? We could just go out instead.

Why are you suddenly doing something so out of character?

If we go out, are you paying? If we stay home, are you cooking?

- Kids! The kimchi is here! - You're here, Uncle!

Hey, take this. I have to use the restroom.

Gosh, this guy. He was like this the whole way here.

- Auntie, I'll put this away. - Okay. Something smells delicious!

- You're here. - Hello.

- Hi. - Hello.

- We're here! - Come on in.

Hello, everyone.

- Dad, you're here? - Yes.

- You're here, Dad. - You made it, Ja Yeong.

- Welcome. - Oh, my, Jun Kyung, your hair...

Why? Does it look weird?

- You look beautiful! It's great! - Really?

- You made it. - Yes, I'm here.

- Hello, Ja Yeong. - Hello, Uncle.

Jun Kyung, what's with your hair? I liked it much better before.

- This guy. - But she just said it was pretty...

Sorry.

Since when have we had a dining table this big?

I just bought it. I figured it'd be useful someday.

- Good call. - Dad, the picture frame too.

Goodness.

Gosh.

What do you think?

Gosh.

Goodness.

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday, dear Ja Yeong - Happy birthday, dear Ja Yeong

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

Hold on.

I have something to say before I blow out the candles.

Judging by your smile, it must be something good.

Did you win the lottery?

- Sadly, no. - Dad, are you two getting married?

- Oh, my. - Married? Don't be ridiculous.

Well, I...

I have Alzheimer's.

It's progressing quickly,

and the prognosis isn't good.

So I've been getting treatment and learning how to manage it,

and Jin Ho, in case I get lost,

has put up signs all over the camp ground for me.

I have to learn to live with my disease now.

I don't know when, but eventually,

I'll stop recognising all of you too.

If I don't recognise you and hurt you,

please don't hate me for it.

I wanted to apologise in advance and ask you for this favour.

Thank you, Jun Kyung,

for throwing me such a lovely birthday party.

Don't worry, Auntie. I think you'll be the last I forget.

That charisma you had when we first met...

How could I ever forget that?

I'm going to make a wish and blow out my candles now.

("A Still Relationship")

You doing okay?

What now? Did you call to pick a fight?

No, I called to say congratulations.

You're a real meteorologist now.

But can I even trust your forecasts?

Suit yourself.

Now hurry up and pay me back.

The second I get my paycheck, I'll pay you back first thing.

Please do.

I'm busy. I have to go.

- Jun Kyung. - What?

It's supposed to rain tomorrow.

Bring an umbrella.

All right.

Dad, are you doing okay?

I'm great. The hospital treatment you suggested is going very well.

These days, Ja Yeong is even better at finding her way around than I am.

How have you been? Are the wedding plans coming along?

Yes.

Do Hyun and I went to an adoption agency yesterday.

Really? That's great.

Yes. But I'm still not sure about it.

Take your time to think it over.

Whatever you decide, I know you two will do great.

Okay, Dad.

Someone once said...

that happiness is quiet...

and misery is loud.

In that sense, maybe happiness...

is a lot like loneliness.

Different in shape,

different in colour,

and different in size.

The loneliness each of us feels.

But if you trace it back to its source,

they say you'll find love at the very end.

When you crave something but can't have it,

when you're left wanting,

that feeling of emptiness is what becomes loneliness.

When you look at it that way, maybe being lonely isn't so bad after all.

It just hasn't been fulfilled yet,

but at least it proves...

that just as much love

exists within my heart.

(Love Me)
