EPISODE 14

-May I see this one, please? -Sure.

Sunwoo Jun.

Jung Ga-yeong?

Found you.

Didn't you miss me?

Not really.

You're still so cold.

Fine, drink it.

Ji-hun, can I have that?

What? Okay. Sure.

Thanks.

Do you think…

she likes me?

Gosh, it must feel great to be popular.

I'm too popular for my own good.

You can let go now.

Are you okay?

Oh, my.

Ji-hun, let's go to the library.

Hey, Jung Ga-yeong.

Shouldn't you apologize to me properly first?

You two should stop being joined at the hip.

That's exactly why you got hit.

Should all of us go to the library? Let's do that.

I don't want to.

Hey.

Did you chose your career path?

It's medicine, right?

No, I'm going to major in mathematics.

I want to go to MIT or Stanford.

Your parents are okay with it?

My mom's always on my side anyway.

Should I tag along?

Then shall we set our sights on winning the Fields Medal together?

Shall we?

-Let's go. -Let's go.

The Fields Medal is mine.

You know I won a gold medal at the Math Olympiad, right?

So I'm afraid I'll have to join you.

Ga-yeong, be honest. You like me, don't you?

Think whatever you like.

Rumor had it that you quit school and went abroad to study.

But I didn't see you there.

I got into Stanford.

The college you and Ji-hun wanted to go to.

I see.

Congratulations.

I thought you'd keep the promise you made with him.

Then where were you?

Why do you want to know that?

Were you going to elope with some lame woman?

I saw a video online

of you crashing a wedding.

Did you run away from home because of Ji-hun?

Why were you looking for me? To pester and take revenge on me?

Revenge?

It was because I like you.

But…

you had a crush on Ji-hun.

You've always been slow on the uptake.

You're the one I had a crush on.

So why don't you be kind to me from now on?

EPISODE 14 "A FURTIVE TEAR"

A SPECIAL PROMISE

Here's your juice!

Gosh, you startled me.

Ra-ra, make a sound when you walk. I have a weak heart.

-You like Ha-yeong, right? -No.

Don't lie.

Drink this.

But how did you know?

Seung-gi, if someone as dull as me noticed that,

it's safe to say everyone here knows as well.

-I'm so jealous. -Of what?

Of the time you've spent together.

Ms. Gong Mi-suk, my longtime mentor, told me once

that time is the most powerful thing.

She said my playing would sound better with time.

I see.

But you know what? Ha-yeong is so busy falling for other guys

that there's no space for me.

Do you really believe that?

Yes, it's obvious.

Oh, right. When will you see Jun?

I heard you'll be visiting him instead.

So that he can spend more time studying.

We agreed to meet on the day he finishes his mock exam.

You better keep that promise.

If he doesn't see you, he'll come here right away.

I know.

Brother Tes

Brother Tes

Why is the world like this?

Why is it full of hardships?

Brother Tes

Welcome.

Oh, my. I did your hair earlier today, right?

How did the blind date go?

Forget it.

It's all your fault that it fell through, so give me a refund.

Pardon?

It turned out that the guy likes long, natural hair.

But you suggested this perm, and everything fell through.

Come on. You can get your hair done again.

And half of the world population is men.

Do you want to get it done again?

Just give me a refund, already.

I want to charge you for the time wasted

and the emotional damage that I've suffered.

But forget about that and just give me a refund.

Ma'am, it's not like your hair got ruined

or the perm didn't turn out well.

Gosh, you're so noisy.

Hey, old lady.

"Old lady"? Are you talking to me?

Then who else here is an old lady?

-Hey, I'm still single. -I don't care.

Why is it my mom's fault that your date failed?

From the way I see it, even if you had long, natural hair,

he would've still rejected you.

-Stop it. -Are you done talking?

No, not yet.

You must think you can do this just because you paid some money.

But she's not your emotional trash can!

What?

Gosh, stop it, you brat!

Ma'am, I'll give you a better hairdo, okay?

I'm sorry. I truly am.

-Sit down. -Mom!

Come on!

Will you give me a refund or not?

Please sit down for now. I'm sorry.

Here you go. Happy?

You should've done this sooner. God, this is irritating.

Wait. Ma'am.

Mom. Don't you ever come back, you obnoxious woman!

I can't believe her.

Why did you give her a refund?

I'm so annoyed. Where's your self-respect?

Why did you fawn over someone like her?

You should've omitted the cost of the perming agent.

Why did you refund it in full? Gosh, what a waste!

Do you love money that much?

What's so terrible about making a bit less money?

Why did you give her money when you're not making any?

-Here. -Forget it.

Goodness.

Take it.

No. I don't need that money.

I don't want the money you earn being pathetic!

Jin Ha-yeong.

Nothing's pathetic when it comes to money.

This is how I made money to raise you.

If I didn't swallow my pride and acted however I liked,

we would've been homeless.

Did I ask you to live like that?

Did I ask you to do that?

Ha-yeong!

Ha-yeong.

Is something wrong?

Welcome.

Oh, my. My regular customer's come.

Gosh, is something in my eye?

Sorry, but could you wait for a minute?

Let me grab something to eat before my afternoon shift.

I have no time to eat

if I keep receiving customers.

Sit here.

Don't mind me, and take your time.

Thank you.

Usually, I never eat in front of my customers.

But I need some energy today. I'm sorry.

Goodness. What are you doing?

Sit over there and wait.

I want to use my pass. That's why.

I want to eat with you, but there's nothing to eat.

I carry them with me all the time in case I need to use one.

Goodness.

It looks so scrumptious.

I didn't know you could cook.

Didn't I tell you? I'm good with knives.

I'm good with scissors.

Knives, saws, and scissors.

We can be the Three Musketeers.

-Saws? -Dr. Cha.

He's good with saws.

How does it feel to live with him?

He seems picky, right?

But he's simpler than I thought.

He has a weakness for food.

He's a little greedy for food.

-Did you eat? -Yes.

All right.

What?

Darn it.

Has he been starving or something?

He never forgets his medication.

Medication? What kind?

Where did I put it?

Did I drop it in Yeong-ju's car?

Eun-seok.

What a surprise. You never call me.

What?

Your pill case?

Okay.

What the hell?

Where could it be?

What kind of pill is it anyway?

He only called me because he lost his pill case?

Gosh. Where in the world is it?

This must be it.

It's pretty.

What?

Is he sick?

Component analysis?

I do have a friend in the laboratory.

What are they?

They're Eun-seok's. They look pretty important.

Eun-seok's?

Bring them here. Okay.

I want to quit working here.

By any chance,

are you terminally ill?

Yes.

Was he

telling the truth?

I miss her voice.

From now on, I'll call and visit you.

Don't get distracted until you reach your goal.

Okay?

Fine. I promised her.

I've been looking for you all day.

Did you cry?

No.

Take this.

What is it?

You want to drink here?

They're for your mom.

She enjoys drinking alone while watching TV.

You're more worried about her than me?

Because you must've given her a hard time again.

It's obvious.

It's not here.

Is that you, Ra-ra?

No, it's Ha-yeong.

How did you know without even looking?

I can recognize my daughter's footsteps right away.

Did you visit Mr. Kim?

How is he doing?

The doctor said that nothing's changed,

but I want to believe that he's gradually getting better.

You're right. He'll wake up soon.

By the way, are you moving?

There's so much stuff.

I was looking for something.

I remember putting it somewhere safe.

Did I lose it when I moved here?

What are you looking for?

Well…

It's a prenatal music CD I used to listen to when I was pregnant.

Prenatal music?

I suddenly felt nostalgic, so I wanted to listen to it.

Goodness, is this Ha-yeong when she was young?

She's so pretty.

You're right. She was so pretty

that our elderly neighbors said she should compete for Miss Korea.

Really? My dad told me that he heard the same thing all the time.

Look at you bragging.

I first found out that I was pregnant with her

on my 20th birthday.

I was a 20-year-old girl with no parents.

I was so terrified.

I was walking down the street,

and a record shop was playing Christmas carols since it was December.

Snow was piled up on the streets.

Everyone except me seemed to be so happy.

I was cold and frightened.

I went into the record shop.

I put on whatever headphones were available and just sobbed.

I didn't care if anyone heard or not.

I only heard beautiful music.

You did well.

I sobbed for a while

and then I found courage.

That's when I decided to become a mom.

I had been alone my entire life.

To think that I'd be having my own family

motivated me to strive for a better life.

But where was your husband?

He ran away.

Just like mine.

I was barely making enough money to have a meal at that time.

But on that day,

I bought a prenatal music CD that cost more than 10,000 won.

And I listened to that CD over and over again.

I wanted my baby to be smart.

I wanted her to be clever.

Gosh, I'm such a mess.

But that wench refuses to study or listen to me.

Gosh, she makes me so upset.

I'm upset, so I'm going to make some braised spicy chicken.

What?

I'm going to make it so spicy!

I'm going to spank her once she comes home.

But that's Ha-yeong's favorite dish.

So that's what a mom and daughter are like.

Is it in here?

PRENATAL MUSIC

Found it.

I'll clean up later. Later.

Seung-gi, is Ha-yeong with you?

Yes. She's here.

Hey.

-She wants to talk to you. -Darn it.

What?

I think your mom's making braised spicy chicken.

The house smells so good.

Gosh, this is so annoying.

I'm hanging up.

-Here. -What is it?

I'm going home.

You said you weren't going a minute ago.

Hearts are bound to change.

Bye.

Why a potato when she gave you some meat?

She loves the potatoes the most.

All right. Let's eat.

Wait.

PRENATAL MUSIC

Let's invite Mozart to today's dinner table.

It suits this meal.

It's so perfect.

Whatever.

Here. Have a drumstick.

All right. What kind of style do you want?

Should I go for a smokey look and shock Jun?

No, let's go with a colorful look.

-Okay, Ms. Jin. -Okay.

How did the mock exam go? Hop in.

I have other plans.

Don't follow me.

Then let me give you a ride.

Are you meeting that woman?

-Yes. -How about we go somewhere else together?

What's with you?

I'm just kidding.

You look tired. Want some coffee?

I made this drip coffee myself.

Thanks.

You can take a nap on the way.

I'm fine. Just focus on driving.

I'll go now.

Am I too early?

I'll just wait.

How pretty.

The coffee worked like magic.

It's so pretty.

Gosh. At this rate, she'll soon have no space to sleep.

Fine. She found the CD which was like Mom's treasure,

so I'll do something nice for her.

Oh, boy. What is all this?

Goodness.

"Wish Box"?

What is this?

HA-YEONG AND SEUNG-GI'S WISH BOX

Seung-gi!

-Lee Seung-gi! -Yes?

What? Where are you?

I'm here.

Hey, come here.

Come, quick!

Hey, do you remember this?

Look, your name is written on it.

I think I put something in here back in elementary school.

Elementary school?

Hey, you threatened me to do it.

I did?

Lee Seung-gi, write one. Hurry!

10 YEARS AGO

Can't you just put in your wish without mine?

No, that's no fun.

Then when are we going to open the time capsule?

I told you. When we grow up.

The one whose wish comes true

will get a gift. Okay?

So I'll get a gift if my wish comes true?

That's right.

Hey, you're right. We wrote letters and put them in this box.

HA-YEONG AND SEUNG-GI'S WISH BOX

What did I write that day?

Hey, do you have the key for this?

What?

Darn it. Where did I put it?

Let's just do this.

It worked!

What did I write…

MY WISH IS TO MARRY GU SEONG-JUN

"My wish is to marry Gu Seong-jun"?

Who is Gu Seong-jun?

The boy who transferred to our school from Seoul in the summer of third grade.

The lanky kid with pale skin.

He was lanky?

I don't remember. I've had so many crushes over the years.

I can't remember them all.

That's something to be proud of, for sure.

But how is it

that you remember my crushes way better than I do?

Anyway, my wish hasn't come true. Let's check yours.

-Shall we? -Yes.

What is it? Why won't you show me?

Hey, where are you going?

What's with him? What did he write?

PLEASE MAKE JIN HA-YEONG FALL FOR ME

I wonder if something happened.

Did he bomb the exam?

He hasn't even read my messages yet.

Is he not home?

My gosh, Ga-yeong.

Thanks so much for today.

No problem at all.

I was just happy to be with Jun.

I see. All right.

Get home safely, okay?

-Take care. -Bye.

What?

It's that woman.

I guess you're the type to follow a guy all the way to his doorstep.

Everything's okay with Jun, right?

Why do you ask? Do you want something bad to happen to him?

If he's okay, it's all good.

Hey.

Break up with Jun already.

No, I won't.

Gosh, I guess she'll be home late.

I wanted to be complimented. Why isn't she home yet?

SEUNG-GI

Hey, what's up?

Give me a haircut now.

Now?

Have you lost your mind? Who gets a haircut this late?

I'll wait for you at Jin Beauty Salon.

What? Hello?

Hey, Seung-gi!

Lee Seung-gi!

Gosh, seriously.

I can't believe he hung up on me. How rude.

You're so dead.

What's going on?

He said he'd wait here. Where did he go?

Ha-yeong!

Hey, I told you to stop recording. Goodness.

Hey, stop it!

Ha-yeong.

I like you.

When you're smiling,

when you're sleeping,

and even when you're singing.

I like everything about you.

Jin Ha-yeong!

Are you a pervert? Why are you recording this?

Why not? Whenever you cry, I think it looks hilarious.

Don't get dumped by other guys and cry.

You have me,

who's been by your side for a very long time.

Ha-yeong.

Today is our first day as a couple, okay?

If your answer is yes,

blow out this candle.

BLOW OUT THE CANDLE AND WE'RE A COUPLE

That's your gift.

Gift?

Yes, we said the one whose wish came true would get a gift.

Please make Jin Ha-yeong fall for me.

"Please make Jin Ha-yeong fall for me"?

Ra-ra.

-Ra-ra. -Gosh.

Ha-yeong.

What were you thinking about? You didn't even hear me.

I'm just a little tired.

Ra-ra, doesn't the room look clean today?

Oh, maybe.

You should go to bed.

-Okay. -Good night.

Is the cleaning going well?

Of course. No one will know that we were here.

Seung-gi.

Yes?

Ra-ra is acting strange. Maybe something happened between her and Jun.

From the way she's acting, it looks like the situation is very bad.

Really?

Yes.

Can you call Jun and find out what's going on?

Yes, ma'am. You got it.

Those pills that he takes. Did you find out what they are?

A while back,

I actually asked him

if he was terminally ill.

It sounded like a joke

when he said he was.

What? "Terminally ill"?

Eun-seok is terminally ill?

I did wonder if there was some truth to his joke.

So I thought this might be

an analgesic of some sort, but…

But what? What is it?

Just tell me!

These are just vitamins.

What?

He takes such good care of his health.

Thank goodness.

Give me that! I'll give it back to him.

Gosh, you!

-Oh, that guy. -What?

The guy at the wedding.

What's he doing here?

I swear, I've seen him somewhere.

What?

DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

Why did he go into the director's office?

He didn't even knock.

He and the director must be close.

Oh, wait.

What?

Hang on a second.

Hey, where are you going?

Yes, that's right!

He's the director's son.

I see. What?

What? My gosh.

So your ex-wife is dating

the director's son?

Gosh, I can't believe this.

What do I do now?

What should I do about this situation?

Call your mom.

-Go on. -Oh, right.

Yes.

Is everything okay with Ra-ra?

She used to run out of the room the second she smelled food,

but she hasn't even taken a single step.

Doesn't she usually eat more when she's going through something?

That's right.

She says she wouldn't even care if she died from overeating.

Yesterday, I asked her to play cards with me because she seemed down.

But she said no.

This looks serious.

Girlfriend?

Are you saying Jun is seeing someone else?

That day,

Jun didn't show up.

I waited until it got dark.

That's why you asked me his address.

I went to his house to see if he was okay.

And you met his girlfriend there? Is that it?

Damn it! Jun is such a jerk!

Hey, don't jump to conclusions. We don't know the full story yet.

Maybe he had his reasons.

-Right? -Yes.

But he's been ignoring your calls and texts.

Yes.

Maybe you've been too strict with him lately?

Step out with me for a minute.

To where?

I don't work for free.

How much would you like?

Hey, let's just go.

It'd be better to just do it ourselves. Go bring your camera.

You're stealing my business.

You just started your business. Why change the category already?

That's not what I'd call it. We are expanding our business.

I'm an expert when it comes to Jun. I'm the one who found him in Eunpo.

But the cops were the ones who contacted his mom which was your client.

I heard some jerks beat you up and even took your wallet and phone.

Oh, right. Remember that information about Secretary Moon?

Even that was wrong.

He does look pretty clumsy, but don't state the facts so bluntly.

"The facts"?

You little prick.

What facts? What?

Seung-gi, I guess

he doesn't know what a fact means.

Let's go.

Hey.

I won't charge you for this case.

I shall put my honor on the line

and show you how it's done.

Will you? Sure.

Jin Ha-yeong, that girl, is really something.

Did she raise your blood pressure again?

Hey!

Anyway, from Gu Ra-ra to that mother-daughter pair,

you have to watch out for all the women in that house.

Hey! They're coming out.

Make sure their faces show.

So he actually did get a girlfriend.

Let's go.

What's wrong?

Hide!

Hey, did he see us?

I don't think so.

Isn't he coming this way?

No, he isn't.

Really?

Damn it.

Did my mom hire you again?

No.

Is it not good?

It's not that.

I brought you here because Ha-yeong told me you haven't been eating.

Should I have taken you elsewhere?

You liked the pasta here last time.

Right, I did.

Are you worried about something?

You can tell me, you know.

I'm a little older than you,

so I'm sure I can give you some advice.

Jun would never do that.

That I can guarantee.

There must've been a misunderstanding.

Why don't you meet him and hear what he has to say?

That would be better, right?

Yes, of course.

You're worrying about something you're not sure of.

It doesn't suit you.

No way.

That makes no sense.

You don't believe me?

Hold on. Ra-ra might walk in on us.

What is this?

Are you saying this woman is really Jun's new girlfriend?

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

What the hell. This is so annoying!

Why are you getting worked up? Ra-ra's the one who should be angry.

Seung-gi, look carefully.

She's uglier than me. That's why I'm annoyed!

-Who is this woman? -She's prettier than you.

In what way?

She's not prettier than Ha-yeong.

Ha-yeong is so pretty.

Anyway,

they went to the same high school, and she currently attends Stanford University.

She's visiting Korea for a short while due to a visa issue.

I guess she's very smart.

You should tell Ra-ra first so she won't agonize over it all alone.

No, I'm going to meet up with Jun first.

Why would you do that?

What do you think?

I'll grab him by the collar and ask him why he had a change of heart!

Gosh, what a jerk.

You kids are still so naive, aren't you?

A love that lasts forever?

That doesn't exist.

That's what I learned after seeing all sorts of crazy stuff in this line of work.

-Hey. -Hide it!

Hurry, quick.

Is that all true?

JUN

Oh, Jun's calling.

Hey.

JUN

Ra-ra.

You should answer it.

JUN

JUN

I'm sorry for not calling you back sooner.

It's okay.

I don't have much time, so I'll keep this short.

I figured

we should end things in person.

End things?

Yes.

Let's break up.

Why? Because of that girl?

I just…

don't like you anymore.

Jun, is that true?

Then look me in the eye and say it again.

I don't like you anymore.

I wish you all the best.

Forget a jerk like me.

My, what a lovely song.

What was this song called again?

"A Furtive Tear."

Gosh, I've cried a ton of furtive tears.

Is that so?

Goodness.

PRENATAL MUSIC

It's raining quite hard.

Is it going to rain all day?

I know, right?

-Hey. -Yes?

How did Mi-ran's IVF treatment go?

She said she was going to try it one last time.

I'm sure it'll go well this time!

I feel bad for her. She's wasting all her precious time in her 30s

trying to get pregnant.

What can she do? Her mother-in-law keeps pressuring her.

Mi-ran really wants a kid, too.

She just doesn't show it.

-Really? -Yes.

She always looks like she's sick of hearing about the trouble our kids cause,

so I didn't know.

She's most envious of you

because you're Ha-yeong's mom.

-That's right. -Really?

-Yes! -My gosh.

Why would anyone want a kid like Ha-yeong?

Suk-gyeong. Ha-yeong may be all grumpy at home,

but when she's out… Goodness.

She'd risk her life and fight if it's for you.

She's much more reliable than a husband.

-Sure thing. -Gosh, it's cold.

My gosh, it's so cold.

Ladies, I'm here.

-Hi. -Hi, Mi-ran. Come on in.

Ta-da! Let's make some kimchi pancakes.

The rain is making me crave some.

-Sounds good. -Good call.

-Don't carry around such heavy things. -It's okay.

All right. Shall we get ready, then?

-Yes! -Sounds good!

-This looks delicious. -It's so good.

It's seasoned perfectly.

Hey, how's Ra-ra?

Is she still downcast?

-Yes. -What can you do?

-Gosh. -Jeez.

It's the same thing, just in different order! You understood me. Whatever.

-What? -Jeez.

But I never imagined they'd break up.

Jun liked Ra-ra so much, you know.

Gosh. When it comes to relationships, outsiders never know what really goes on.

Oh, dear.

I haven't paid you back yet.

I'm sure you already know,

but I hate being indebted to others.

So you better not go anywhere until I pay you back.

Jun.

This place is still filled with your presence.

Will I be able to protect LaLa Land on my own?

INCOMING INTERNATIONAL CALL

Who is this?

INCOMING INTERNATIONAL CALL

Hello?

Ra-ra.

Ms. Gong?

How have you been, Ra-ra?

Ms. Gong.

What's wrong?

Hearing your voice

is making me miss you more.

Ra-ra, I'm moving back to Korea.

Really? When are you arriving?

Next Saturday.

I'll pick you up at the airport.

Don't bother. It's not like I'm making a grand comeback.

What time are you arriving? Which airline?

Gosh, don't make such a big deal out of it.

Then I'll e-mail you my itinerary.

Okay, Ms. Gong. I'll see you soon.

FROM JOYFUL WEDDING: RA-RA & JUN'S WEDDING

FROM JOYFUL WEDDING: RA-RA & JUN'S WEDDING

Ra-ra!

I sent you an e-mail.

Check it later, okay?

RA-RA & JUN'S WEDDING VIDEO.MOV

Congratulations. You're Joyful Wedding's first wedding crasher.

Wishing the two of you many blessings.

You have to hire us to plan your real wedding, okay?

INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL

-Jun! -Hey.

It's that way…

Jun.

Jun…

EPILOGUE

I find it hard to believe you opened a piano academy yourself.

I had a lot of help.

You've had a hard time while I was gone.

LaLa Land is filled with memories of Jun. I'm not sure I can bear to stay here.

I wasn't sure if I should tell you this.

The person who bought this building was Jun.

There must be some reason we don't know about.

I hoped you would never find out. In the end, you rememebered.

The time we spent together defined me.

So I could never just throw those memories away.

I'll never forget this place. It gave me too many gifts.

The people I met and Ra-ra.

Please take care of her.
