I'm sorry, Ji Su.

I will take...

all the wicked things I have done...

and the burden...

I had given you with me,

so that...

you will only be left with the good things.

Make sure...

to live happily, Ji Su.

Dad, I'm so sorry.

Dad.

Make sure to tell Mom and Ji Young...

that I'm sorry.

Okay?

Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

I don't want...

anyone to leave me anymore.

Why are you here anyway?

I thought I should be at your side.

I also felt lost as if I were...

left alone in the world.

Don't be too sad.

So your father can rest in peace.

Okay.

(Late Yoon Hyung Gu)

(Room 6)

It's been a while, Jae Hyun.

Yes, it has been a while.

So this is how we meet.

At our age, this is how we usually meet.

Let's not fight today.

When did we ever fight?

We just had spirited conversations.

Your conversations were more rough than spirited.

Do you want to see how rough I can be?

I'm happy, that's all. It's good to see everyone.

I'd been thinking of the old days and I missed everyone.

We laughed and had fun whenever we were together.

It's natural to miss those times.

We first became friends because of Ji Su,

and we had fun.

Thanks to Ji Su, we had the happiest moment of our lives.

What about me?

Yes, we should give you a nickname too.

Do you want to be a "nuisance"?

Or just a moron?

Deal.

My gosh.

Did you meet Mom and Ji Young?

Good for you.

I'm left alone now.

Give Mom and Ji Young...

a message from me.

Tell them to appear in my dream.

Because I miss them so much.

I thought I'd be okay.

I thought I'd cried all the tears I could.

But they keep falling.

(Yoon Hyung Gu)

It's such a pity he's gone.

It is, sir.

If it hadn't been for that incident, he'd have become a politician.

What are you saying? My point is that...

he was a useful pawn and now I can't use him anymore.

I see.

But then, he's not completely useless.

The man is dead,

but the facts remain.

Her father's funeral?

Yes. He died after spending many years in a sanatorium.

What a nuisance.

He must feel so sorry for her.

So?

Did Jae Hyun go to the funeral?

Yes.

It looks like I'll be going home in comfort, thanks to you.

I was up a few days in a row and my eyelids feel so heavy.

They keep coming down.

- I'll drive you back safely. - Good.

What's keeping Jae Hyun? He said it's just a phone call.

Did he go off to poop?

I told him to see a doctor.

By the way, is Mr. Han okay?

He will be if he sees a doctor.

No. I'm talking about him and Ms. Yoon's father.

What about them?

Is it not him? Her father's name was Yoon Hyung Gu.

What about it?

Never mind. It's nothing.

I apologize.

Do you...

You know about it too?

You know as well?

Yes, I know very well.

But Mr. Kang. How did you find out?

A few years ago, Mr. Han...

told me to look into his father's death.

The prosecutor that was involved had the same name.

And?

At first, I thought he was someone else with the same name,

but the visitors at the funeral said that it was him.

Let's get going.

Okay. Okay.

You must be tired.

You must've cried buckets,

saying, "Oh, poor Ji Su."

You're quite brave.

You're cheating on me with her.

How dare you go to her father's funeral?

Let's stop.

Seo Kyung.

Let's stop.

Fine. Do whatever you want.

That's odd.

Your grandpa's toys are missing.

He gave them to me.

He did? When?

The day before he passed.

He seemed to know who I was.

He wanted to give me something...

and asked if I liked toys like his,

so I said yes.

Good boy.

He must've liked that.

He told me to do as you said,

and to cheer for you.

He told me to live happily with you for a long time.

Is it Grandpa's diary?

Yes. I think so.

He suffered every day.

When did he have the time to write all this?

There are so many Chinese letters.

Your grandpa used to be...

Chief prosecutor at Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

That's right.

There are a lot of Chinese letters.

It's typical of him. He's helpless.

Ji Su.

The sun is warm...

and the breeze is lovely today.

Today, my mind is as clear as the weather,

and I feel comfortable and at ease.

But...

in no time at all,

I become weighed down with worry.

What the date was two days ago,

what I had for dinner yesterday.

How I ended up with...

the red blotch on my sleeve,

and why the person...

sitting across from me blushes when we make eye contact.

I don't remember a thing.

When my mind is clouded,

did I do something terrible?

Did I scream and treat you badly?

I'm too ashamed to ask someone else,

and I'm too afraid of...

what they might tell me.

Since I became sick,

whenever my mind is clear...

as if I woke up from a deep sleep,

I thought and guessed on my own,

and clung to reality.

Until now,

just how hard you worked to get this far,

I know it very well.

I know so well that...

I couldn't let you know that I knew.

A while ago, when Jae Hyun was at the sanatorium,

I recognized him right away.

Whether my mind is clear or clouded,

he has a face I could never forget.

He still had eyes only for you.

You stood next to him, smiling brightly,

and you looked like you were 20 years old.

Seeing you both that day...

weighed on my mind.

I saw how you both still have feelings...

and are happy when you're together.

Why that makes me feel so bad,

I should explain to you...

when my mind is clear like today.

However much I try to pluck up the courage,

I just can't put it into words.

So instead, I write to you.

You knew he was Ji Su's father?

Since when?

Five years ago.

Hey. The indictment played a huge part in...

causing your father's...

You knew that and still met Ji Su?

When we met again,

I could think of nothing else but her.

Our reunion itself was such a miracle.

Then I met her father at the sanatorium recently.

I remembered all the papers...

and complaints I found in my dad's bag.

Just the papers?

When I heard,

I thought of your father's empty funeral hall.

I can't say I didn't mind at all,

but it wasn't Ji Su's fault.

Does she know?

She never can.

That's true.

So keep your mouth shut...

and take my divorce case.

What are you doing?

You said to keep my mouth shut.

You're crazy.

You decided to go to court for a divorce?

I haven't decided just yet.

If I do end up in court, you be my lawyer.

I never refused a client who came to me,

and I even clung to clients.

I dealt with all sorts of people so far.

I really don't want to take your case.

You said you wanted to live with me.

Do you still want to?

That makes me happy,

but why did you suddenly make that decision?

Is it related to why you quit school?

I want Mom to be happy.

She needs you if she's to be happy.

I want Mom to get married.

But I'll just get in the way.

Does your mom have someone to marry?

I guess she does.

But...

can you give me a little time?

Grandpa died not long ago,

and Mom's struggling.

For a while, I want to be there for her.

Okay.

Are you okay with the others...

finding out that we met in private?

It's fine. They know already.

It's not worth trying to hide anymore.

Mr. Han, you took over the borrowed name accounts.

Congratulations on becoming the majority shareholder.

Hyung Sung Holdings...

is Hyung Sung Group's primary holding company.

Shouldn't we call you Chairman Han now?

I appreciate it, but it's too early for that.

Even if we exclude...

the minor shareholders and the pension funds,

Chairman Jang has 36.8 percent.

The shares of the three of us combined...

is 35.65 percent.

Until the next shareholder meeting,

I can buy up 1.2 percent more at the current stock price.

I think I can buy two percent more.

Let's see. That means...

Then we will have 38.85 percent.

Chairman Jang will have 36.8 percent.

It's very close.

Not to mention that they still have a very powerful hand to play.

The current difference in shares is 1.15 percent.

At the current stock price, we have 2,190,000 more shares.

You're saying we're ahead...

when the difference is just 1.15 percent?

That's what it looks like,

but nine percent of Hyung Sung Holdings...

owned by the employees is yours.

The five percent owned by the banks that manage the pension funds...

will never support Mr. Han.

I believe you can defend your position...

What did you tell me last time?

Since Jae Hyun has to pay...

hundreds of millions in tax to take those shares,

you said he'd come groveling to me.

But what happened?

He paid the tax and took it all.

I didn't think that Seoul Bank would pay it for him.

If I'd known this would happen,

I'd have gathered the press,

and said, "I'm sorry I didn't know the sentiment had changed."

"I am so sorry."

"I'll donate my assets and create a scholarship foundation."

I'd have made that excuse...

and gone to prison.

I'd only be away for a few months.

I'm sorry, sir.

Who are the men funding Jae Hyun?

Sir.

The confirmed people are Lee Hyo Sin from Changwon...

and Song In Su from Gwangju.

They're both well-known in financial circles as super investors...

They're not super investors.

They don't want just one company.

They're trying to take the whole group. They're thieves.

I can't believe I have to worry about fools like that.

I complain every day and nothing changes.

Everyone.

Listen carefully.

Han Jae Hyun is no pushover.

"Since I pay them,"

"the employees will support me."

"The institutional investors and us go way back,"

"so they'll support me."

Don't just assume that.

From now on, think from Jae Hyun's perspective.

Think of all the possibilities,

and block them all, okay?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Hak Su.

What I mentioned last time. Put that into motion.

Yes, sir.

Tiny ants...

must be stepped on to learn a lesson.

(Uncontested Divorce Form)

(Applicant Han Jae Hyun)

(Uncontested Divorce Form)

I don't know if you can use this.

Use what?

Yoon Ji Su's father is...

Jae Hyun's father's sworn enemy.

It won't be easy for...

Jae Hyun and that woman...

to know the full story...

and still manage to see each other.

Tell me more.

I'd like to have a chat tomorrow.

If you're busy, I'll come to you.

(Uncontested Divorce Form)

Jae Hyun gave me this.

This is a shame...

because I don't plan on divorcing him.

And it looks like you will continue to see Jae Hyun.

So you will be as an adulterer and mistress for the rest of your life.

Do you remember what I said before? I'm not polite at all.

I'm very good at insulting and trampling...

on people.

I'm well-aware.

It's not something you can forget easily.

Anything else?

I guess pretending to be strong is your theme.

But let's see if you can keep that even after hearing this.

I don't like beating around the bush.

So I'll get to the point.

Did you know that your father...

was responsible for Jae Hyun's father's death?

If you don't believe it, look into the old case file.

Check the prosecutor that indicted Jae Hyun's father.

You do what you have to do.

And I'll do what I have to do.

I gave the divorce form to Yoon Ji Su...

after I tore it into pieces.

Don't worry. She'll piece it together and bring it to you...

if she wants you to get a divorce.

I have turned you into a monster.

This is the real me.

Given your behaviors,

it keeps making me think that I should just do what I want.

Did you know that your father...

was responsible for Jae Hyun's father's death?

However much I try to pluck up the courage,

I just can't put it into words.

So instead, I write to you.

It was the most lonely funeral.

No one came.

Why he took his own life, both Mom and I...

had no idea at all.

Until we found...

all the complaints issued against him in his bag.

The resentment and fury...

I felt after my father had died...

was actually my guilt and yearning for him.

As time went by,

I felt more guilty...

and missed him even more.

Are you going somewhere?

I thought you went home.

I was cleaning the car.

If you're going somewhere, let me drive you.

I just want to go for a walk.

Okay.

- You should go home. - Goodnight.

(Jae Hyun)

(Jae Hyun)

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

When things get hard and exhausting,

you're allowed to fall.

I can carry you and run.

Just don't you ever...

run away from me.

(For Rent)

You won't be able to take out a loan.

Your credit score is very low.

And you're not employed by a company that pays for your insurance.

More than anything, you have a lot of private loans out.

Banks can't give you loans.

Thank you for showing us the house. Please thank the landlord.

- Sure. Okay. - Bye.

How was the house?

Are we moving?

It's just an idea.

Why?

Your grandpa told me to be happy.

So I'm going to start with something I can do.

Do what?

- Hello. - It's been a while, Young Min.

- What are you guys up to? - We looked at a house.

A house?

A new house.

Wait, shouldn't you be at school?

I don't go to school anymore.

Why not?

I dropped out.

Good for you. You don't have to go to school now.

Was there anything you wanted to do once you got out of school?

Mom, what about you?

What did you want to do with Grandma and Aunt?

He asked you that question. Why are you asking me?

You couldn't do a lot of things because of me.

I want you to do what you want.

He's all grown up.

I had a long list.

Your grandpa was very strict,

so I couldn't do anything fun before college.

And when I entered college,

your aunt was still in high school.

And when your aunt got into that prestigious university,

I was busy.

I even left home once because I hated your grandpa.

Really?

I promised to go to a hair salon,

a department store,

and a bar with your grandma and aunt.

We were going to take a sticker photo which was popular back then...

and go to karaoke which had been new back then.

We were supposed to go to an amusement park too.

Okay. Let's go, then.

Young Min. That's it. Hold it.

Shoot.

You got it.

Well done.

Does Jae Hyun know that you're moving?

- Not yet. - Why not?

It brings back memories.

When I was living in the countryside,

you and Hye Jung came to see me.

(Spring of 1996)

Ji Su!

You're so awful!

You're so mean!

I've been looking all over for you.

I was worried sick for you!

I can't believe you, Ji Su.

Seriously.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

My gut was telling me that you knew where she was, Young Woo.

So I tailed you for several days.

Who had known? You went to the intercity bus terminal.

She sat down next to me on the bus.

I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

You should be grateful that I didn't beat you up.

I was going to kill you.

I just did what Ji Su asked.

- Hey. - You're right.

You're the one who caused this trouble. Darn you.

My dad left on a bad note,

so he didn't get his severance pay.

And he wasn't well either.

So my uncle was going to manage my dad's finance.

But afterward, I can't reach him.

No way. That's crazy.

So we don't have anything.

We neither have money or people.

That's why you should move back to Seoul.

I'll stay by your side.

Living here is more comfortable.

The living cost is cheaper here.

And the ocean is not far from here either.

More importantly,

there are no department stores.

This place is making me cry.

You're making me cry. The ocean is making me cry too.

This place is full of sadness.

Just tell us if things are tough.

You have Hye Jung...

and me.

Right.

That's why...

I'm okay.

As if.

You used to play with those hands. Now, you're peeling garlic.

This pays pretty well.

"The crape myrtle survived that summer."

"The tree didn't crumble..."

"even after a series of storms."

"Like a shower of hail,"

"I hung red flowers."

"That summer, I was in the middle of a storm."

"That summer,"

"my despair bore red flowers like they were mocking me,"

"but after several storms, they didn't fall."

"When they fell, they clung and climbed up."

"The stubborn flowers of the fire-breathing crape myrtle..."

"covered a small garden with blood."

"And my despair vanished like magic."

"Ji Su,"

"you must be going through a very difficult time now."

"I pray with my whole heart that it will end hopefully tonight..."

"or tomorrow at the latest like magic."

"Until we meet again, continue to be yourself."

Mr. Han Jae Hyun from Chuncheon...

sent his letter with Lee Seong Bok's poem,

"The End of That Summer".

And he requested...

"Like the First Day" by Andre Gagnon.

It breaks my heart for Jae Hyun,

but it's in the past.

Jae Hyun is still heartbroken...

because he had no idea...

and he couldn't do anything to stop his father.

But that's all my fault.

Because of me, he got arrested by the police.

He left home and was on the run because of me.

Because of me, he was drafted.

Because I disappeared on him,

he went around looking for me when he came out on a leave.

- It's all because of... - Then, it's all my fault.

What happened to Jae Hyun.

- It's all my fault. - What are you talking about?

I reported Jae Hyun to the police when he was a wanted man.

Why would you do that?

I didn't want to see you in pain...

because of him.

Just like before and now, seeing you in pain...

is the hardest for me.

But when he got arrested...

and you guys broke up,

I wasn't relieved.

It had tortured me.

Guilt stays with you...

longer than pain.

Because of my guilt, I could never tell you how I felt.

On my way back after reporting him,

this crossed my mind.

That it wouldn't...

work out between you and me.

So don't live your life with guilt.

I'm speaking from my experience.

I have something to tell you.

Ji Su won't answer your phone, right?

Did something happen to her?

Ji Su found out about what happened between her father and your father.

Ji Su told me not to tell you.

But why are you telling me this?

You knew what had happened...

to your father, right?

When I first heard that,

I was heartbroken for her,

but I was worried about you too.

How you...

managed to live your life with that scar.

Are you sure you're okay?

By that, are you asking me if it's bearable?

Then, it is.

Everything is bearable now.

When I look at you and Ji Su,

it makes me think you're living in another world.

People who live in a place...

where I can not go or live in.

So there's nothing I can do,

but you two...

always go through such rough things,

and you two...

are so much alike.

Just say it the easy way.

We lead such wild lives.

I'm by your office.

Are you elsewhere?

I'll head over there.

Where are you?

In front of your house.

Then let's meet in the middle. That park last time.

I wanted to give you this.

It's my dad's diary.

I thought you'd need it more than me.

Why would I...

I think it will help you in your long battle.

He mentions Chairman Jang.

And...

I wanted to end my battle as well.

While reading the diary,

I found out that my dad had charged your father.

I've been fighting on my own since that day.

Ji Su 1 and Ji Su 2,

and sometimes, even Ji Su Three appears.

The thoughts in my head keep fighting,

whether I should just leave again, pretend not to know,

or just tell you the truth and take the punishment,

but I can't come to a conclusion.

Because...

I really don't want anyone to leave me anymore.

I even considered the absurd option...

of asking for your advice.

But now I can't bring myself to look at you in the eye.

Ji Su.

If someone...

was to take the blame for what happened to my dad,

it has to be me.

Your father asked to see me.

A few days before he passed away.

He remembered everything in the past when he spoke to me,

and the person he loathed the most...

was me.

If I hadn't run away with you back then,

he wouldn't have had deep resentment,

and the resentment wouldn't have led to the charge against my dad.

Five years ago, I was still my foolish self,

so I did not understand it,

and I could not resent him nor forgive him...

and was lost in between.

Your father was facing difficulties inside and outside the company,

and it seems like he gave up his last strand of hope...

when he was charged for destructing the labor union.

And did you check the prosecutor who charged him?

Yes, sir. But they say it was an exceptional case.

The prosecutor who was investigating the complaint...

your father filed against Hyung Sung...

was suddenly transferred to a local office,

so the person in charge was replaced.

Your father was charged right after.

They say that usually happens if the prosecutor in charge...

went against the higher-ups.

Anyway, the new prosecutor...

was Chief Prosecutor Yoon Hyung Gu of Seoul Central District...

The chief prosecutor is who?

(Yoon Hyung Gu)

Chief Prosecutor Yoon Hyung Gu, sir.

After meeting you again,

a lot went through my head again...

once I met your sick and weakened father,

and that's when your father asked to see me.

But what stuck with me longer...

than your father's...

words of apology that day,

was his request to have his dear daughter free from any more pain.

You are also very dear to me,

so my feelings are similar to his.

I only realized then...

that your happiness is the way...

to end all this pain.

Since I have to be happy,

I don't want to repeat the most painful mistake...

I made in my life.

It's even darker and steeper than before.

But the front gate is pretty.

Is it?

I should get you another door lock and surveillance camera.

I'll bring the one I used to have. That was expensive.

Young Min is in middle school now, so he will need his own room,

and I will need my own room.

And I'm going to make my dream come true with the last room.

I'm going to open a piano school.

A school, not an academy.

I guess your dream came true quite early.

I guess so.

I was always on the fast side.

- Aren't you going? - Let's go.

The house has been rented, sir.

Was her current deposit enough?

I don't know. But she said she can't tell how much it was for.

When will I finally have a drink with you?

I thought you didn't want me to grow up quickly.

You're right.

I feel bad about it even at this moment.

What will you do about your piano school?

We don't have a piano.

I have enough money to buy one.

Really?

Yes.

If I give lessons for a few days.

How many days?

Maybe a month?

Then you're saying we just moved without a plan?

I was a bit busy these days.

I was lost in between thoughts,

so I had to settle them down...

and reason with them.

Are you better now?

Now, you and I are going to have fun...

living in a new house, with new mindsets.

Should we toast to it?

Cheers.

(Hendrix)

(Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, classical guitar)

- Excuse me. - Excuse me.

Do you want "Love Letter" too?

- Don't you have any work? - I'm extremely busy.

- You like me that much? - Yes.

- Are you here to get a guitar? - No, a piano.

What for?

There's a piano academy I know that I want to donate to.

- I have a piano. - Liar.

- I do! - You didn't have one before.

I bought one.

You barely paid your rent. How did you get a piano?

Did you dig my back again?

You're a stalker.

How did you match the rent?

The landlord agreed to lower the rent for a higher deposit.

But it's still a monthly rent.

It's going to be tough every month, then.

It was always tough.

So let me donate the piano.

No.

You can pay me back as you work.

How much will the lesson fee be?

I don't have to pay a separate rent,

and I don't need to pay anyone, so maybe 50 dollars?

How much do other places charge?

120 to 130 dollars.

Just take your time in paying me back.

Wait, let me figure it out.

The used piano I had my eyes on was 1,800 dollars.

50 dollars a month...

If I have 5 students, that's 250 dollars.

If I pay you back 100 dollars a month, that will be...

Are you only going to be paying for the piano?

Wait a moment.

Let's just go in and see, okay?

Let's go.

It's pretty.

I forgot that I had tried it on.

- Keep it on. - I don't want to. It's too much.

You know that I'll have to throw it away if you don't.

I never exchange or return anything.

I'm going to check every day.

I guess I'll have to wear shirts that come up to my neck.

But that...

will make me want to check even more.

(Demolish)

(When My Love Blooms)

What you're trying to do is against the law.

I'm going to keep tormenting and threatening you.

Until you leave Jae Hyun.

Stay by Ji Su's side.

Don't let her stand alone.

I can't live in the same house when we're going through a divorce.

Do whatever you want.

When did you start having a relationship with her again?

What can I do? I was bound to throw him out anyway.

Whether it gets dirty or if I have to scratch and bite,

I'm going to do whatever it takes to win.
