Excuse me!

Are you there? Hurry up and open this gate!

Coffee.

Beom-suk, have some coffee.

Okay.

What time is your flight?

At 3:00. I'll take the airport shuttle.

I can take you.

Let him drive you there. There's no traffic on Sundays.

Okay then.

I'm leaving quietly this time, Beom-suk.

Thank you.

Who could it be? I'll go and see.

Open the gate!

It's some lady.

Some lady?

Open up.

Who is it?

I'm Guk's mom... I mean, I run the dumpling shop at the market.

Dumpling shop?

Who is it?

She says she's Guk's mom from the dumpling shop.

What is she doing here?

Who is it?

Open the gate.

It's the dumpling granny's daughter.

Dumpling granny's daughter?

Our tenant who runs the dumpling shop at the market.

Remember? Jun-su told you her granddaughter is his classmate.

Oh, right.

Good morning, Jeong-suk. Good morning.

What brings you here?

Is Yu Jun-su here?

Jun-su?

You're looking for our Jun-su?

Are you Jun-su?

Yes, why?

What is the matter with this woman?

Have you lost your mind?

Why did you slap my son? Why?

I am still upset, what do you suggest that I do?

Ma'am, what is this all about?

Do you know Jang Guk?

I'm her mother.

Yes.

Keep it down. Su-han, call the police.

Go ahead.

I'm so mad right now. Do whatever you like.

I know you're a tenant in our building,

but you can't just barge in here like...

She is pregnant.

My daughter is pregnant.

So what? This is unbelievable.

What does your daughter being pregnant have anything to do with us?

Would I come here

and throw a fit here for no reason?

You mean...

What is she saying?

Should I repeat myself?

My daughter is pregnant with Jun-su's baby.

I only found out yesterday.

Jun-su, say something.

Is there anything going on between you and her daughter?

Her morning sickness was so serious

that she had to be hospitalized.

Morning sickness?

Is she telling the truth? Is she?

What are you going to do about this?

What shall we do about this?

Forget it. Yu Jun-su, be honest now.

What did you do to my dear Guk?

Wait a minute!

What did my son do to your daughter?

Do you still not understand?

Jun-su.

Goodness me.

Look at this mess.

What's this?

Oh, wow. It's so tacky.

Jun-su didn't come today?

I don't know. I haven't seen him.

Why is his phone off?

- Jeong-han. - Yes?

I can't believe it.

Do you really think it's Jun-su's baby?

Maybe the girl's mother's trying to entrap Jun-su.

I know it's a crazy world out there these days,

but Jun-su just isn't the type.

Honey, I'll talk to him.

I'll ask.

You just stay put.

Jeong-han.

Oh my.

Those who bear sons must not judge philanderers.

Those who bear daughters must not judge harlots.

Jeong-suk!

You startled me.

Choose your words carefully, I don't want hear it.

Okay. Calm down.

I'll keep my mouth shut.

Let's go inside.

Sit.

Jun-su.

Yes?

I...

What I mean is...

Let me ask you man to man.

Is it true?

Yu Jun-su.

I didn't know.

I mean, she didn't tell me.

So do you need to take responsibility for this?

Yes.

Yes? Yes? Yes?

How can you say that? How can you?

You? Responsible? For what?

You crazy fool! How can you? You?

A baby?

But you're so young. You're so young.

Why? Why are you doing this to me?

I raised you with everything I had.

How can you do this to me?

How? Tell me. Why did you do it?

Answer me. Answer me.

Why did you do it? Why did you? Why?

Stop it, Beom-suk. Calm down.

That's enough.

I'm sorry.

Mom... I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

You're sorry?

What are you sorry about?

This is killing me!

You think saying sorry is going to change anything?

Do you realize what you've done?

What about your life and university?

What about the university entrance exam?

Why is everyone blaming Jun-su for everything?

Isn't the girl to blame, too? Why is this only Jun-su's fault?

These days, the girls are way worse than the boys.

Nasty girls are out to corrupt pure young boys!

Be quiet.

A baby?

Mother...

How can you let this happen to your grandson?

I'm losing it.

Jeong-suk, what'll happen if she has the child?

Is Jun-su going to be a father?

Beom-suk...

A father? He's not even 20 yet.

This is killing me.

I'm losing my mind. What do I do?

I think I might die. I might die.

What do I do? This is killing me.

What do I do?

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

My baby...

Why are you doing this to me?

What happened?

This is more than I can take. I'm going to lose it.

How did this happen?

Explain yourself.

What happened exactly?

Tell me! Tell me!

You have to give me an explanation.

You two are in high school.

What happened exactly?

What's your relationship with Jang Guk?

Tell me!

Tell me, Yu Jun-su.

Are you okay?

Yes, grandma.

Don't you worry about a thing.

Put your mind at ease and sleep more if you can.

- Where's mom? - Huh?

Did mom go home?

Yes.

She wanted to check on Hun.

She'll be right back.

Why isn't he picking up? Something happened to him?

Will Guk be able to return to school?

I couldn't get a hold of Beom-suk.

Really?

Maybe she's tired from her mother-in-law's memorial service.

Anyway, thanks for the kimchi.

I'm in no mood to do work lately.

It's been a month already, right?

You're so laid back.

How could you not go after him?

I have to think about Da-hae

and her entrance exam.

Of course. Children always come first.

But it's so frustrating to watch.

I thought he'd come right back.

At first, I gave it a week.

I planned to divorce him when he got back.

Then I thought maybe he needed 2 weeks.

I was still set on divorcing him.

And now, here I am.

Oh my.

It's Da-hae.

- Hi. - Hello.

Having a hard time?

Yes.

You both take care. I'm heading out.

You're leaving already?

- See you later then. Thank you. - I'll show myself out.

Goodbye.

Da-hae, is something wrong?

No. It's just so hot out, and I'm tired.

What do you want for dinner? I'll whip up whatever you want.

Mom, did you see a small box here?

A small box?

Oh, this?

Huh?

Why?

There was a hairpin inside.

What's wrong? What are you looking for?

A hairpin. Have you seen a hairpin?

A hairpin?

Oh...

You saw it?

- Yeah. - Give it to me.

I threw it out.

While I was cleaning I just...

Mom!

Good heavens. What's wrong?

Where did you throw it away?

The trash bin...

Was it that important to you?

Yes.

It was a gift from Jun-su.

Jun-su gave it to me 12 years ago.

Where are you going?

The garbage collectors haven't come by yet.

Today's Sunday. I bet it's still there.

Why is that hairpin so important to you?

It didn't look valuable.

I proposed to him

and he will answer me after the exam with that hairpin

like he did 12 years ago.

But now the hairpin's gone. What do I do?

You proposed to him?

But why is he making you wait until after the exam?

Mom! That's not the point now.

Oh my.

I thought it was something serious.

Ask him to get you something else.

How about something pricier like a necklace, bracelet, or even anklet?

Da-hae.

Here.

Call her. You lost your phone, right?

You didn't know?

I really didn't.

Uncle, what do I do now?

What would you like to do?

I have to take the entrance exam and go to college.

I also have to do my military service.

I don't know what to do.

What about the girl?

Huh?

What was her name?

Guk. Jang Guk.

Right.

What will Guk do if you don't know what to do?

I bet she's suffering too.

You should call her, okay?

She's not picking up.

My goodness.

Do you know what she's like?

Not really...

They're not complete strangers.

Shouldn't you at least go and see what she's like?

Isn't this something the adults should take care of?

They're just kids.

Where are you going?

- Get dressed. - Why?

- Let's go. - Where?

To the girl.

No.

She's Jun-su's responsibility.

- I don't want to see her. - Beom-suk.

She's got Jun-su's baby.

So? So what?

Think about how frustrated her family must be.

What about me? What about us?

We'll have to meet her sooner or later.

You're leaving?

Yup.

Beom-suk, I'm leaving.

I can't come with you.

I know.

That girl's mother looked pretty upset.

Will you be able to manage?

I'm so mad I can't even see straight.

Great. That's the spirit.

If you need help, give me a call right away.

I'll fly over right away and fight her with you.

Jeong-suk, I'm in no mood for jokes.

Chin up, okay?

All children cause their parents grief.

I was no different,

but I turned out okay.

Thank you, Jeong-suk.

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

We're not open for business today.

Hey, kid.

What's your name?

My name is Hun.

Are you Guk's brother?

- Mom. - Hey.

Vice principal Yu.

How do you do?

Fine.

Guk, say hello. This is Jun-su's father.

Huh? How did this happen?

You don't look like a student from our school.

No. I'm looking for the high school teachers' room.

The high school teachers' room?

Do you see that big building?

Follow this path and turn right.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

I'll get going then.

That's right. Go straight down.

So you're Guk.

Yes. Hello, sir.

Hello. So it was you.

We've met before, right?

I heard you were unwell.

Yes. She was exhausted.

You're not feeling well. Go inside.

You too, Hun.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

The baby's father is Jun-su, vice principal Yu's son?

What am I doing?

Here.

Are you okay, Guk?

Yeah.

Guk.

I couldn't call you because I lost my phone.

This is my uncle's number. Call if anything happens.

Is she alright? There are no complications, correct?

Yes. Don't worry.

That's a relief.

Vice principal.

Yes?

Guk is a good girl.

It may be hard to believe,

but she's never caused any trouble...

Don't cry. It's pathetic.

What are you going to do?

You must have come here to make some kind of a decision.

I wanted to meet your daughter.

- That's your answer? - Yes, for now...

What will you do about this?

What would you like us to do?

You're telling us to decide?

Hello?

Hello?

Is that you, Guk?

Jun-su.

It's me, Guk.

Are you okay?

Don't worry about me. Are you okay?

Nothing to worry about.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't know.

I called as soon as I found out, but you didn't answer your phone.

I'm sorry, Guk.

Don't be, Jun-su. I'm sorry too.

Your father's at our place right now.

Where's Jun-su?

I was told he left very early.

I'm done.

- Have a good day. - I'll get going, dad.

- See you. - Bye.

You should eat too.

You didn't even have dinner last night.

I'll eat later. You two eat and head to work.

Did you get to see her?

Just briefly.

What do you plan to do?

I don't know.

You should let them get married.

Su-han.

How can you say that?

Get married? Get married?

Beom-suk...

They're in high school.

They're old enough to get married.

That's not the point.

Marriage?

What is marriage?

You want Jun-su to marry into a family that runs a dumpling shop?

Don't think of it like that.

It's more like we're bringing Guk into our family and...

Guk? Do you even know her?

Do you know anything about her family?

Do you know what kind of a woman her mother is?

And Su-han, you were out of line.

I know we're not related by blood,

but I've always been good to you.

Marriage?

How can you say that so lightly?

I'm sorry. I didn't say it to make you angry...

I'm not angry. I'm just so hurt.

Why do you think your brother was so opposed to your marriage?

He wanted to find you someone better.

If you take Jun-su's marriage so lightly like that,

it really hurts my feelings.

Beom-suk.

Don't try to convince me otherwise.

Eat.

I know what you're trying to say. Just finish your breakfast.

Okay.

I'm off to school.

What are you doing?

Put it down and sit.

You're not going to school.

Mom...

I told your homeroom teacher you were sick.

- I have to go. - In your condition?

If I fall behind, I won't be able to catch up.

Unbelievable.

You're worried about your grades?

If you cared about your grades, why did you let this happen?

I can't stand to look at you.

What will you do once you start to show?

Guk.

I've thought long and hard,

but I just don't think you can have the baby.

You just can't.

Everyone makes mistakes.

This was a mistake. It was an accident.

Mom.

No one will know if we put an end to it now.

That's right. No one will find out.

It's not like Jun-su's family will tell anyone,

and we obviously won't either.

It kills me to think of what it'll do you to your body,

but you'll be better off in the long run.

I'm scared too.

I wish it were me and not you.

It's killing me as well.

But we have no other choice.

No.

No? You're going to have the baby?

You think anyone will be happy about that?

They're our landlords.

They won't welcome a girl from a family who runs a tiny dumpling shop.

I don't care.

I care. You're my daughter.

I don't want to.

This isn't about what you want or don't want.

It's making me furious too, but...

It's my baby.

What?

Let's not talk about that.

Just let me go to school.

I'll go to school.

I want to see Jun-su.

Mom, please let me go to school.

Mom...

Attention, bow.

Thank you.

Jun-su.

- Where's Jun-su? - He went to meet his uncle.

His uncle? Uncle Su-han?

Yeah.

Why?

Guk's not here either. It feels so empty in here.

What happened to Guk?

She's sick. Let's go.

Huh?

Didn't you come by to grab lunch? Let's go.

Right.

Come on. Let's go.

Here.

They said this is their most popular model.

I see.

Are you having a tough time?

Call her first.

She really needs you the most right now.

Thank you, uncle.

If it's a boy and he takes after you, he'll be really good-looking kid.

Chin up, kiddo.

Where are you going? We have to make dumplings.

I have to step out for a bit. I'll be right back.

Alright then.

Whose phone is this? Go-sun's?

Yu Jun-su

Here.

Grandma.

Your mom stepped out.

Jun-su just called.

Thank you.

Guk.

Jun-su.

Are you sick?

No.

Then why didn't you come to school?

I'm smart enough. I don't need summer classes.

Jun-su.

Yeah?

You've been slacking off lately, haven't you?

- Yeah. - You should start studying.

I don't want to hear that you failed the entrance exam because of me.

Okay.

Guk.

Yeah?

Can I see you this afternoon after classes?

My mom's really angry right now.

She even confiscated my phone. Grandma found it and gave it back to me.

Should I come to your place?

No way. My mom will beat you up.

Did she already hit you?

Where did she hit you?

It doesn't matter.

I'll keep my eyes peeled and sneak out when I can.

I'm sorry.

If you ignore my calls or texts again, you're dead.

Got it.

Have you eaten?

Not yet.

Go eat.

Eat and then get to class.

What about you?

I'm going to eat, okay?

Okay.

Run along then.

Where to?

I'm hanging up now.

Guk.

Don't worry about me. I'm strong.

I miss you.

Guk.

I know.

You hang up first.

Okay.

Yeo Il-suk

Hello?

This is Yu Jun-su's mother.

I see.

Can we meet?

Why not?

Let's meet. Where at?

Why don't we go over to Guk's?

What for?

Why are you so jumpy? Make sure she's doing okay.

She's sick.

We should let her rest undisturbed.

- Hey, guys. - Hi, Da-hae.

Jun-su's being extra sensitive today.

You do what you will.

Oh, and you might not see me around for a while.

I'm not going to college, so why take summer classes?

Some more hands-on learning works for me.

What are you talking about?

I'm getting a part-time.

Where at?

- I'll call you. - Okay.

Oh, and send Guk my regards.

No, wait. I'll just call her myself.

Okay. See you.

- See you. - Bye.

Bye.

Let's go.

Why wasn't your phone working?

I lost it, so I had to get a new one.

Really? Let me see.

It's cute.

I need to get a new phone myself. Should I get the same model?

Jun-su.

Yu Jun-su.

Is this because I asked you out?

No.

You're acting strange. If we could just...

Da-hae.

I have a lot on my mind right now.

I'm sorry, but let's not talk about that anymore.

You coming?

Mom's not here.

Are you sure?

Yeah. I saw her leaving earlier.

It's just grandma.

Goodness. What to do?

Hey.

Okay. I'll be right there.

Okay.

Hey, Da-hae. I have to run.

Take care. Bye.

Hey!

This way, ma'am.

He's inside.

Thank you.

Yes?

How do you do?

What brings you here, ma'am?

I didn't know what to get, so I brought some dumplings.

You can share them with the teachers.

Thank you.

Are you alright?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Please give them your blessing.

You know the kind of girl Guk is.

When her father suddenly passed away,

she looked out for her mom and brother.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

I understand it's a hard decision.

You and your wife may think Guk's not good enough,

but we'll do the very best we can.

All you have to do is say yes.

You're the only one who can make this happen.

Please...

Ma'am.

I've already lived for so long now.

If anything were to happen to my Guk,

there'd be no reason for me to continue living.

Thank you.

Is that you, Su-han?

Yes. What are you doing?

Nothing much. Where are you?

I was getting counseling about studying abroad.

Why did you call?

I was worried.

I met with Jun-su and talked to him.

Those two are in love.

I know. I should give them my blessing, right?

As long as their parents approve, there shouldn't be a problem.

Alright. Okay.

Jeong-han.

This is your baby brother from now on.

He's Su-han. Yu Su-han.

Got it?

Letter of Resignation

Why'd you get so many?

You said you wanted some.

I can't drink all of this.

Save them for later.

You said you can't eat much these days.

Is there anything else you need?

No.

If you need anything, let me know. I'll get it for you.

And give this to Hun.

Okay.

Here.

Yum. It's sweet.

That's good.

Why are you smiling?

Because you're smiling.

Do you like it when I smile?

12 Years of Promise

Let's never see each other again.

Are you suggesting an abortion?

It's about money. Please help us, Mr. Heo.

Stop right there!

I'm sorry. Money turns a good man bad.

- Why are you smiling? - Because you're smiling.

I want to make that hussy suffer. Can you do it?

We need your uniform.

Take it off. Take it off.

Hey, wake up. Hey!
