[High School Basketball Finals]

[It's the final match of high school
men's basketball teams.]

[The match between
Serim High School and Baejin High School]

[has begun now.]

[High School Basketball Finals]

[Serim High School, Aim for the Medal!]

[Victory to Serim Basketball Team!]

The ball goes to Hong Dae-young now.

[Victory to Serim Basketball Team!]

Number 11, Hong Dae-young, gets buckets.

If he joins the professional league,

the basketball field will definitely
head to a new course.

[Before the game]

You know that
scouts are coming today, right?

Yes.

There's a scout
from Hankuk University too.

You'd better bring it.
Your life depends on this game.

I'll play how I always play.

Hong Dae-young
did not make the free throw.

-Get a grip.
-It looks like he's quite nervous

as this is a big game for him.

What's wrong with you today?

[I Am a Proud Student
of Baejin High School]

Focus!

[Before the game]

Who's that beautiful girl?

She's your girlfriend.

Yes, she is.

That's my girl.

What took you so long?

What's wrong?

What?

It's nothing.

Something did happen.

Dae-young.

He's calling you. You should go.

Jung Da-jung.

Today's game is important.

Just focus on your game first.

No.

If you don't tell me what it is,
I won't play today.

Tell me.

Now.

[Baejin, move forward to win!]

-Dae-young!
-What are you doing?

-Pass it!
-Hey.

-What's going on?
-Hurry.

-Pass the ball.
-Hey.

-What's he doing?
-Hey.

-What are you doing?
-What is he doing?

Da-jung!

Dae-young.

No.

You shouldn't have come.

No.

This is my decision.

Don't cry.

You're my future.

And our baby is my future.

So

just trust me.

Don't cry.

It's all right.

[If]

[our story stopped here
like an ending of a movie,]

[my life]

[would have been a happy ending.]

[However...]

[18 years later]

[...the reality is a series
of open-ended stories.]

[The unexpected misfortunes
don't even surprise me anymore.]

[And just like that,]

[life goes on.]

[Episode 1, Life Goes on]

Secretary Jo,
how many people must I rescue today?

[I'm not sure if I understood
your question correctly.]

Secretary Jo, I must save the people.

Get the suit ready.

[My apologies. I'm not sure
if I understood you correctly.]

Secretary Jo,
I don't have time to joke around.

People are waiting for my help.

[I'm not sure
if I understood you correctly.]

Secretary Jo.

[I'm sorry. I don't know.]

I should take this with me today.

He's crazy.

[Seongjong Electronics, Service Center]

[Special Corn, Low Sugar, Ye Ji-hoon]

I am so grateful
that you're letting me stay here.

But can you please take off
that tin on your chest?

When will you grow up? Goodness.

I understand that you got kicked out
and things aren't going well.

But I cannot take off my heart.

Oh, my.

Why am I getting divorced?

-I know why.
-What do you know?

What is it?

[Of course, it's his looks.]

Oh, my gosh. How can he let
his looks wither away that badly?

He looks like
a completely different person.

It's not because of his looks.

If I keep living with him,

I don't know what I'd do.

Is it that bad?

What happened?

She hates how devastatingly old you got.

Is that enough to kill me?

What?

Did I curse at her? Or did I hit her?

I didn't even cheat on her.

Why? Why would she do that?

-There must have been an affair.
-I told you that wasn't it.

Not you. It must be Da-jung.

Da-jung?

That crazy jerk.

And you didn't kill him after seeing that?

I would've killed him if I were you.

Thank you for understanding me.

No. No!

This isn't a matter
of one's understanding.

Goodness.

I'll get going.

Take it easy. Otherwise,
you'll end up dying of exhaustion.

Even if I die, I'm going to get
promoted first, so don't stop me.

Right. Who cares if you lose your family?
You just need to succeed.

What?

If I get promoted,
Da-jung is going to change her mind too.

Don't worry about me. Bye.

Bye. You're doing a good job, my friend.

I love you!

I understand why he's getting a divorce.

Are you really okay
with getting a divorce?

I don't have feelings for him anymore.

What about you?
How are things with Professor Kang?

Who's Professor Kang? Oh, right.

I've already ended things with him.

This time it's a new face.
He's in college.

He's in college?

You know I can't settle down
with one person.

I want to continue feeling butterflies
in my stomach.

I get that, but a college student?

[Seongjong Electronics]

[We don't care about your age.

They don't care about age,
and they don't care about education.

We don't care about your education.]

[We don't care about your experience.]

They don't care about experience either.

The world has become a better place.

They should've done this sooner.

A lazy world makes a better society.

They're too lazy to look at the details,

so they make a rough model
and pass rough judgments.

-Even if you are skilled...
-It'll take 10 years to get promoted.

If you aren't skilled...

Your ratings drop,
and so does your salary.

[A broadcast that looks at people.]

[JBC's new face...]

[Is you.]

You applied to JBC this time, right?

How was the written exam?

I've taken so many of them already.

I will use my experience and age.

My age is a problem.

I turn 38 next year.

This year will probably
be my last chance, right?

Be strong, my friend. You only live once,

so you should live life as
a full-time anchor at least once.

I really hope I can. Please.

Look at your family portrait again
and gain energy.

Of course.

You're going to get promoted today,
so you must be happy to work.

Of course.

[-Let's go.
-Gosh, I'm jealous.]

[Nuri Elementary School]

I need to go out. Hurry up already.

I'm sorry, ma'am.
I will finish up quickly.

I refuse to pay you for coming here!
You said it wasn't broken!

The cost for coming here
and repair costs are separate.

Then you should've told me this
in advance.

Do you want to get a zero
in your service ratings?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

What is this smell?

-Pardon?
-Your feet smell so much.

I was wondering why I smelled garbage!
It was me.

Gosh, do you have any common sense?

You'll get a call later
asking if everything was fixed well.

Please give me a ten out of ten.

Okay.

Can you throw this out for me?

I really feel like working today.

Sir, everything has been fixed.

Where did he go?

Gosh. I thought it was a real raccoon.

That surprised me.

"Do you want to be young again?"

Why bother asking?
Of course I want to be young again.

Gosh, he must have his doctorate.

["A Drug That Buys Youth",
"The Time of Reverting Cells"]

He even has a lot of medicine.

He must really like raccoons.
There's another one here.

Did you fix everything?

Yes, sir. I fixed everything.

Is that so? Then fix this one for me too.

I'm sorry, sir.
I only fix washing machines.

I fixed it, sir.

You're good at fixing things.

Why do you only fix washing machines?

I think you'd be good
at fixing everything.

I can fix almost everything.

I wish I could fix my life like this too.

Do you want me to fix it for you?

Thank you.

However, it's my life,

so I should fix it myself.

Is that so?

-Open up.
-Open up.

-You're eating so well, my daughter.
-Goodness.

-Son, do you want to have some too?
-You're eating so well.

Have some fishcakes too.

Have this too.

You're eating well.

Hey Si-a, you said today was
Foundation Day at your school, right?

Come out with Si-woo.
Let's get something to eat.

Yes.

Si-a, have some meat. It's expensive.

Gosh, why is my nose bridge so low?

-Should I get a nose job?
-What did you just say?

I told you not to touch my nose!

-My nose.
-Enough of that.

Didn't I tell you? When you go out into
society, there are three types of people.

[Those who do really well,
and those average]

Those who do really well, those who
do well, and those who just do.

If you don't study,
and focus only on your looks...

I'll just enter society.

I see you're well aware.

What about your future?
Is there anything you want to do?

No.

Oh, right. Si-woo, are you really
not going to play basketball?

You were good at basketball
when you were younger.

I'm not interested.

What on earth are you guys interested in?

Are you going to waste your good years
by doing nothing?

Si-a, Si-woo. You guys don't need to worry
about your mom and me divorcing.

My promotion will be announced today.

If I get promoted,
your mom will have a change of heart too.

I had a dream about a fire.

Do you think it was a dream
about your promotion?

Did you get rid of the fire or not?

I didn't.

Then it's settled. Sell that dream to me.

Okay. Give me 50,000 won.

Gosh. It's a dream for your promotion.

You should pay at least 50,000 won.

Fine, since I'm in a good mood.

Hey, Bo-bae. Over here.

-Hello, Mr. Hong.
-Hi.

Did you eat?

Bo-bae, you're a student. Don't you think
you're wearing too much makeup?

A student should look like a student.

[A student should look like a student.]

-Right.
-Stop it already.

If you worked out as much as you nagged,
you'd be muscular.

I have plans with Bo-bae, so I'm going.
Enjoy your meal.

Si-a, you should eat first.

It's expensive meat!

How is your mom these days?

She's really depressed, right?

♪ Starting today ♪

♪ I'm a shining solo ♪

Your mom isn't in a good mood,
so you guys have to be good to her.

You should be good to her.

Broadcast dance is popular these days.

I feel like I'm releasing my stress.

Should we all learn together?

Da-jung is great at dancing.

She was good at boxing last time too.

Is there anything she can't do?

Regardless, she's still just a mom.

-Good job everyone.
-Good job.

Ms. Jung Da-jung?

-Yes, Director.
-Say hello.

She will be taking over
your position from now on.

Hello.

Then what about my position?

It's at home. You're a housewife.

Gosh, Director.

Who's ever born to be a wife?

Were you born a producer at birth, too?

Your kids are in grade 12.

It's an important time for them to focus
on their studies,

so how interruptive would it be
if you sang and danced on TV

just because you want to be a reporter?

They're still in grade 11.

You're being greedy.

There's a different reason
why I'm being fired, isn't there?

What?

When you got drunk the last staff dinner

and forcefully hugged the youngest staff,

I called you out on it.

Aren't I being fired because of that?

You're infuriating me.

You think you can say whatever you want?

Your job is so easy for you, isn't it?

You think I'll be a little kinder to you
just because you have kids?

Goodness.

[Employee of the Month
Hong Dae-young]

This is all a reward for your hard work.

The day has finally come.

May I say with caution,

congratulations, Department Head Hong!

Don't make a big deal out of it.

He's coming.

Everyone, thank you so much
for all of your hard work this quarter.

Let's give a round of applause

to all the engineers
that worked diligently

[Best service,
Highest customer satisfaction!]

to get a promotion that only comes
every five years!

Congratulations!

I will now announce

the new department head.

Congratulations,

-Hong Dae-young.
-Yes, sir.

[Seongjong Electronics Service Center]

Could you please step aside?

Sure.

Congratulations
to Engineer Kim Hyeon-cheol.

Me?

Let's give him a round of applause!

[Best service,
Highest customer satisfaction!]

And I have an announcement.

-Hong Dae-young,
-Yes, sir?

you're being relocated
to the Busan branch.

-Sorry?
-Let's go out for dinner now!

Let's have meat.

Come on.

Congratulations on your promotion,
Hyeon-cheol.

Thank you.

I should call you Department Head Kim now!

How can he become the department head
when he's been here for only four years?

He's the branch manager's nephew.

It's so unfortunate for people like us,
who don't have connections.

At least we're better off

than Dae-young.

Sir.

Keep drinking.

What now?

How could I have worked for ten years

and still be a regular employee?

Your wage is still increasing.

You promised me that I'd get promoted
every five years.

You said that it's a low wage,
but with a lot of potentials,

I could hold onto. That's been ten years!

Everything changes within three years
nowadays.

Did I expect so many university graduates
to come for us?

Hyeon-cheol graduated from a university.

You have to make way for him
since you only graduated high school.

Then can you at least

stop my relocation to Busan?

You know that I'm going through a divorce
right now!

Things are really over if I move to Busan.

If you're so desperate,

why have you been skipping out
on our staff dinners?

Pardon?

I know this is an electronics company,

but it's a company after all!

If you're lacking in education,
you should've worked on your connections!

You think capable people are
just good at what they do?

You told me a month ago
that if I fulfill my share of work,

I'd certainly be promoted!

Come on!

Are you really going to get so worked up,

just because your junior got promoted
faster than you did?

I worked really hard.

I've been treating this job
like my job for life,

letting customers push me around,
holding their reviews over my head,

spent many days putting my own money
into the repairs,

and have gone through thick and thin

in the past ten years.

So, why can't I get promoted?

Why am I being relocated?

Hong Dae-young, this personality of yours

is why your life is such a mess.

You always do things that you'll regret.

Calm down.

It makes sense how you had
an accidental baby when you were young.

I'm only holding back

for my family.

Family? Gosh.

How pathetic for a woman and a child
to depend on a man like that?

They're obviously failures in life.

Let's keep on drinking.

You!

I am

quitting today!

Did you just finish work?

Did you drink again?

Should I get on my knees?

Why should you?

Because I did you wrong.

What did you do wrong?

You didn't get promoted,

did you?

It never mattered, anyway.

You know that tomorrow is
our first settlement meeting, right?

I'll see you at court.

Da-jung,

I don't want to get a divorce.

[Serim High School]

[MVP Hong Dae-young

[Serim High School Basketball Team]

[Hong Dae-young,]

[what happened to you?]

If I make this shot, grant me a wish.

Okay.

That's a promise.

Okay.

Da-jung.

-Go out with me.
-What?

What was that? That was too easy for you.

Easy, my foot.

Gosh.

This is my last one. If I make this shot,

my wish will come true.

Dae-young,

let's go back.

What was that all of a sudden?

Did it go in or not?

Hey, kid. What are you doing there?

-Get out of here!
-I'm sorry!

Gosh. Why am I getting hungry
at times like this?

Hello.

Skipping a meal did the trick
of getting rid of my belly fat.

Let's just drunk.

[Seafood Noodle Soup]

Can I see your ID?

-My ID?
-Yes.

Oh, my. Gosh.

I can't believe I'm asked
to present my ID at my age.

[Hong Dae-young]

Hey, young lady. Do you know how old...

You.

You! What are you doing here?

-What?
-You...

You should be studying right now!

Who are you?

"Who are you"?

-Hey, Hong Si-a.
-Excuse me.

-What's going on here?
-Gosh.

Please don't mind me.

This is a family matter.

Is he your family?

I'm her father.

-You crazy jerk.
-"Crazy jerk"?

How dare you say that to your own father?

On top of lying to me,
you pretend you don't know me?

Let's go outside.

You crazy jerk. I'm going to scream now.

What are you doing?

Stay out of my business!

Come outside now.

No way. What happened to me?

Hey, young man. Is there something wrong?

"Young man"? Do I look young to you?

-Gosh, what's wrong with you?
-How young do I look?

How young do I look?

Hey!

There's a crazy man
at the convenience store.

Hurry. You must hurry.

- No!
- Goodness.

Hong Si-a, open the door.

We called the police, you crazy jerk!

What? "Crazy jerk"?

Gosh. Darn it. They are driving me crazy.
Why did this happen?

Am I dreaming?

Darn it. I'm not dreaming.
This isn't a dream.

Gosh. I'm about to lose it.

Hong Si-a, you stay there.

I'll come back once I fix this problem.

Why are you coming back?
Don't come back, you lunatic!

You lunatic.

-It's okay.
-It was scary.

Deok-jin!

Come on.

Go Deok-jin!

Gosh.

Who are you?

Deok-jin, it's me. Dae-young.

Stop right there.

-Dae-young.
-What?

-Hong Dae-young.
-What?

This is your only chance.

Get out of here quietly.

Deok-jin. Listen to me.

Hey, I'm really angry right now.

I know that it's a toy gun.

Put that down.

I tuned it up just in case
for a day like this.

That crazy punk.

Come on.

No.

No!

No.

You killed her.

My first love!

I'm sorry, man.

Deok-jin, put that down for now.

-I hope you have no regrets.
-Calm down.

You're the one who awoke the evil monster
I've kept deep down inside me.

Come at me!

Darn it. Come on.

Hey!

Hey!

You!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, I'm your friend, Hong Dae-young.

As if!

Dae-young is uglier than me!

Hey!

You.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

You!

You!

No!

[Son]

Don't call him.

If he finds out I'm working here,
he'll throw a fit.

He's not even answering anyway.

Gosh, it's so obvious.

He's probably busy
hanging out with Deok-jin.

Hey.

Gosh.

Do you seriously think
I'll believe that you're Dae-young?

Dae-young is...

[Deok-jin, it's me. Dae-young.]

[I'm Hong Dae-young.]

[I'm really Dae-young.]

How is your hairstyle
exactly the same as when you were 18?

Have you been exposed to gamma rays
at work?

I fix washing machines.

Are any of your ancestors
Dracula or a cyborg?

Enough already.

Really?

If none of these applies to you...

That's right.

Did you partake in an experiment
or take any drugs?

I told you that was enough.

I didn't partake in an experiment
nor did I take any drugs.

After I lost my job, I was depressed,

so I went to shoot some hoops.

My gosh.

School?

So you're saying
you threw the ball and made a wish

and that wish came true?

Yes.

I said if it goes it, I'll go back.

Really?

It's really hard.

It makes sense to fulfill a wish
after getting it in.

The power went out suddenly,

so I don't know if it really went in.

Either way, after that moment,
people started calling me a student.

It all worked out then.
You always said you wanted to go back.

I was talking about going back home.

Having a younger body
is 5.005 trillion times better

than going back home.

If I were you,
I'd get naked and start dancing.

You've received a divine gift,
and if you don't unwrap it,

the divinity would feel awkward too.

What's your dream?

My dream?

You're young again.
You're at an age full of dreams and hope.

What's your dream
now that you're young again?

My dream now that

I'm young again?

[Powerful Serim, let's go!
Serim's the best!]

exam to become a JBC anchor.]

[Please come to the 25th floor of JBC by
10 a.m. on March 8th for the final test.]

Oh, my gosh!

Yes!

Do you want to come here
during your divorce?

Why are you wearing a mask?
Who would recognize you?

Gosh, be quiet.

I don't understand you at all.

-There's Da-jung.
-Where?

I'm Jung Da-jung.

Of course. I'm in a great mood.

Of course. Let's celebrate. My treat.

Do people celebrate divorces these days?

Didn't I tell you?
I'm sure she's having an affair.

How can she betray me like this?

I know.

So get rid of any lingering feelings
and live your life.

Fine.

Our kids are all grown up now,

so I'm going to start living my life.

I know.

I hope I pass this time.

I'm the sole breadwinner now.

I need to take responsibility
and raise my kids.

Right.

Thanks.

[Serim High School]

I never wanted to come back here.

But I can't believe I'm back here.

And it's all because of you.

Do you know how much I suffered
while preparing this for you?

I'll buy you chicken and beer.

Great.

I'm sorry, kid.

Watch where you're going.

[Counseling Office]

Kids these days are scary.

I was always afraid of them.

Welcome.

Sir? Sir.

Sir?

Oh, right.

Hello, I'm Ok Hye-in,
the homeroom teacher of Year 2, Class 3.

Hello.
I didn't get married, but I had a kid.

Pardon?

I'm single.

And I'm extremely rich.

You must be happy.

-What's your name?
-It's Go Deok-jin.

Deok-jin, have a seat.

I'm Go Deok-jin.

I see.

Okay.

Here.

I'm Go Woo-young.

Oh, your name is Woo-young? Take a seat.

Okay.

Go Woo-young.

I wanted to name him Deok-woo,

but he was so against it that
I named him Go Woo-young.

He was against it?

Regardless,

he was homeschooled?

When they should be running around,

kids are busy with performance assessments
and college exams.

All they do is go to school,
academies, and home.

I believe that building character
is first.

I believe that Korea's education system
is spoiled rotten.

Then why do you want to
send him to school now?

You can't avoid bad things in life.

Ms. Ok.

I think differently from him...

I mean, I think differently from my dad.

When would I get another chance to spend
time with kids my age?

There's a lot I didn't get to do,

so I want to try doing everything
this time.

Okay.

You can start tomorrow.

Let's get along.

Yes, I look forward
to being in your class.

See you tomorrow!

Bye now.

See you tomorrow!

-Bye now.
-Thank you!

What a strange man.

I missed this smell.

Get ready and come out.

How is Si-a late every morning?

You're so cold.

You know that today is
my final interview, right?

How do I look today?

-Your makeup is cakey.
-Really?

That's not good.

Sir,

she's pregnant. Could you give her
your seat please?

If you're pregnant, stay home.

Why do you need to be a nuisance
to society by going out?

-He's insane.
-How could you say such a thing?

I'm fine.

How dare you treat your elders like this?

Kids these days are so rude.

I can't just watch this.

Come on.

What's wrong with a pregnant man
wanting to sit

on a seat reserved for pregnant women?

Look at his belly. It's nice and plump.

It's definitely going to be a daughter.

What?

How dare you make fun
of an elder like that?

It's fine.

Stay seated.

You seem like you're due soon,
judging from your big belly.

Thanks and congratulations on contributing
to highering the low birth rate.

That's hilarious.

How is a kid so clever?

Driver!

I'm getting off.

How annoying.

I hope your birthing goes well!

-Please have a seat.
-Thank you.

No, you are entitled to that seat.

The kid is full of surprises.

Everyone,

you know that the English assessment is
due today, right?

I'll be collecting them after this.

-Come on.
-Really?

He said,
"Congratulations on your pregnancy."

It was so satisfying to watch.

But his face looks even more satisfying.

His face is so refreshing to see!

Quiet.

We have a new student today.

Come in.

It's Sprite.

Si-a, wake up!

It's him!

Even dogs don't bother another dog
when they're asleep.

Nice to meet you.

-Please introduce yourself.
-Yes.

Hello, I'm Hong Dae...

No,

I'm Go Woo-young.

I'm 18...

I'm 18 years old.

Nice to meet you all!

No!

Hong Si-a, you just wait there.

I'm going to come back
once I sort this through!

That punk!

Hong Si-a! Watch your language.

Woo-young was homeschooled,

so he's new to being at school.
Please be kind and help him out.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Would you like to sit over there?

Sure.

Ji-ho, please take good care of him
as the class president.

Yes, ma'am.

Have a great day, everyone.

-Okay!
-Okay!

Why is that lunatic here?

Lunatic?

He's completely insane!

This is bad.

You're Seo Ji-ho, right?

You grew so much in the time
I haven't seen you for!

-You know me?
-Of course.

You're my Si-a's friend.

-"My Si-a"?
-Yes.

Did you also go
to Pungin Elementary School?

Yes.

I guess we went to the same school.

Let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

Sure.

Look at you.

[JBC Anchor Blind Hiring]

[JBC Anchor Blind Hiring]

Silla had the bone-rank system
and the hwarang system,

and residents of Silla were

controlled by the bone-rank system.

What's the bone-rank system?

Oh, no.

Hey!

-Where do you think you're going?
-I'm just going to the bathroom.

Seems like we have a real idiot in class.

The bone-rank system.

Yes?

You're finally picking up.

I've been busy. I'm on a work trip.

I'm in Busan right now.

You sound great for someone who's busy.

It must be the air in Busan.

You got my text, right?

I know you're busy, but you have to come
to the second settlement meeting.

If you don't come, I'll take it
that you're giving up child custody.

Who says you can do that?

You can't take the kids.

You never even cared about the kids,
so why now?

What are you talking about?

You may not know,

but I'm closer to the kids
than you can ever imagine.

[Janitorial room]

-Excuse me?
-What?

Is someone in there?

Could you open the door for me?

I heard that bullying was getting bad,
but this is terrible.

Thank you.

Who did this to you?

Who did this to you?

I don't think we've met.

Do we know each other?

No. I'm sorry. My name is Go Woo-young.

You know your father's friend,
Go Deok-jin?

That's my dad.

I didn't know he had a son.

But he never got married.

He did. He did get married,

but my mom wanted to keep it a secret.

I never get adults.

Anyway, thank you.

Don't tell other students about this.

If they find out, they'll target you too.

They'll target me?

Who on earth did this to you?

Bye.

You should be careful too.

"Be careful"?

Why are they bullying you?

Mind your own business.

Was it him?

Don't look at his eyes.

Don't look at him.

Si-woo has a friend now.

A loser has friends too, I guess.

Hey!

You come here.

Give it back.

The ball?

Sure.

You

need a stern talking-to.

[Fall of 2001]

[No.]

[No? Are you going
to have that baby then?]

You're carrying twins.

Don't be stubborn. Get an abortion.

I'm looking out for you.

But I don't want that!

What about college?

Will you live just as a mom?

Yes. I will.

You... You must be out of your mind.

You must be crazy.

What choice do I have?

How can I get rid of them
when they are alive?

I read it in a book

that babies can understand
everything the parents say.

Since I'm carrying two babies,
let's double up on compliments.

Okay?

It's hard, right?

Should we

give up the babies?

What?

We're still young.

No.

Da-jung, let's look at our reality.

Our reality?
Is giving up our babies your reality?

-That's not it.
-Is it hard?

If it is, you go on
and live your own life.

Da-jung, if you regret this later--

I

can feel our babies.

Call that girl now.
Let's take her to the hospital.

Why do you care, Dad?

You punk!

You ruined your life
because I didn't care enough!

If you want to ruin anything,
just ruin your life.

Don't ruin that poor girl's life.

They can't hear

the babies' heartbeat.

I can't conclude anything right now.

But if this is a missed abortion,

we may have to perform
dilation and curettage.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

Daddy is

so sorry.

Daddy is sorry.

I'm

sorry.

The babies must have heard your voices.

[Life always weighs
on a more important side.]

[And even if the weight]

[made us give up a lot more,]

[we thought nothing would be
as important as having these babies.]

[And that's how]

[we became their parents.]

[18 Again]

-You. You look familiar.
-You.

[He's my son.]

He's your son?

Did you know Si-a had a part-time job?

I just knew because we're friends.

[Because you're friends?]

[How long have they been friends?]

[They are more than school friends.]

[Il-kwon, that's your first love.
It's Da-jung.]

[What a disappointment.]

[That's a rude thing to say to an adult.]

[You deserved it.]

[Actually, I am...]
