Let's sit

It's been a while

yes

You're having a tough time, aren't you?

I'm sorry

I'm sorry enough to get on my knees to you.

Why are you sorry grandfather? It isn't your fault

Children are always the responsibility of a parent

Seo Young,

I don't know how our Young min got himself into this situation.

We were just as surprised as you, and it was very difficult to accept.

Even now, looking at Joon, I wonder if all this is true.

But...

it is true, so what else can we do but accept it?

Accept our Young-min

Grandfather

The love he has in his heart for you--from the past, til now, and into the future, hasn't changed.

I know

Also

If he had known he had a son somewhere, he wouldn't of gotten engaged

You should know his sincerity

So, please accept him.

I am well aware that he is sincere and that he loves me

If he wasn't that type of person, I would not have fallen in love with him.

grandfather

But, I cannot accept this situation.

I'm selfish and not open-hearted, and impatient...

so how can I take in a child?

I'm not even confident that I could raise my own child.

so how can i accept a child from someone else?

if you really are a person in love

can't you cover up the other's deficiencies and accept him?

I dont have that capability

It would have been better if he'd asked me to adopt a child.

everytime i see that child, I will think of the other woman

I dont have the patience

Please don't expect anything of me.

why should i accept him

Nobody has the right to ask that of me.

This isn't an order Seo Young, it's just a plea.

It's too unfair for YoungMin to have to lose his love (you) because of a child

that nobody even knew existed.

It just doesn't make the least bit of sense.

I'm a very jealous person, grandfather.

Do you really think I have the ability to raise the child of YoungMin's former lover?

I don't know anything about children!

Thank you..

I'm fine now.

Did I worry you?

Please don't be sick.

ok

I won't be sick,

I promise.

My heart is so burdened that I had to come and see you.

young min is having a hard time

you guys should help him out

After you guys left,

even though I was there, and his aunt and uncle too,

he's lived with a hole in his heart.

now he found someone good, he should be happy

but this situation arose

so help out

Do you want to eat?

What are you up to now?

Joon already ate lunch, you eat and gain your strength

Did grandfather go somewhere?

he didnt respond when I asked where he was going

Young Min...

Is everything ok?

Yes,

don't worry.

I'm going to eat dinner and leave.

yes, ok.

Aren't you going to tell me the whole story? Where did you get soaked to the skin like that?

I went to look at the fountains and I got wet.

A fountain?

President Lee is coming in.

What fountain did you go to see?

There are a lot of fountains to look at these days.

Did you just come in, father? Oh, you were here... Are you home?

It looks like my telepathy got to you.

You sent telepathy to me?

Of course i did.

I had a good idea.

Honey,

Let's go on a trip to a northern country with Seo Young.

There's some snow, and it'll be good for us.

When you saw snow as a child, you used to jump happily up and down.

Yes, the times in the snow with my puppy were really the happiest.

Hows about 3 nights 4 days?

What do you think, Seo Young?

We went last year, why should we go again?

Mom, let's go. Now that the subject of snow has come up, I want to go.

i wonder if you plunge in fresh snow for a few days, you're heart will be as clean?

Exactly, clean your heart as pure as the snow before you come back.

Hello.

Yes, sister-in-law (husband's older brother's wife)

How have you been?

It's your older brother's wife from America.

Nothing out of the ordinary with you, is there?

Of course we're fine.

Yes? What notice? ... oh, the wedding date?

Not yet.

Although we're thinking before the new school term...

But, in America, it's not vacation so it shouldn't be difficult to purchase tickets.

Hyung nim(sister-in-law), don't worry about the hotel. We'll figure everything out on this end.

Yes.

We'll be in touch.

Yes, yes.

Yes. Good bye.

Really,

She has to buy the plane tickets but we haven't gotten in touch with them yet, so she's angry.

Oh, I'm really going to go crazy.

What is all this anyway?

What are we going to do, honey?

We still have time. It's fine.

I really don't even feel like leaving the house.

As soon as people see my face they ask about the wedding.

I don't know, how can I go on like this?

It's our side that is wanting to break off the engagement.

But why are we wanting to break it off? Why?

Don't get mad. Let's just take our trip first.

Seo Young,

Set a date.

Ok, dad.

Where did you go, Father?

Where were you all day?

I went to meet someone.

How's Young Min feeling?

He must be better. He ate a lot of porridge.

You really make it well, I see.

Grandfather.

Oh...

Oh...you're feeling better?

I'm sorry, Grandfather

Your fever went down?

Yes.

Well, that's good.

Let your father rest, Joon, let's go play outside.

Get some rest.

Enough Han Young Min...

I have something to say

I have nothing to hear anymore

Let's meet for just a moment.

i have no reason to meet you

You don't even know if this could be the last time.

It could be the last time.

Go ahead and talk.

You said that today might be the last time.

i will ask you once more

Is breaking off our engagement the only solution?

There's really no other option?

There's another.

Can the two of us leave for another country?

Only the two of us together?

Can you do that?

Can you do that?

Just tell me.

I can't do that.

The child has already been abandoned by his mother...

How could I...

I can't abandon him.

I'm going to pretend that you didn't answer.

Think about for at least one day.

That's as far as I can give in.

Call me when you decide.

So what did you say?

How could I do something like that grandfather?

So you told Seo Young that you can't go?

Yes,

but then,

Seo Young said she would wait for my answer and for me to call.

Grandfather,

it's hard.

It's really hard.

Young Min,

Don't throw away your future because of the child.

Do what your heart tells you to.

Grandfather.

if you really think you are going to be happy, do what Seo Young wants you to do.

I'm not saying to dump Joon off at an orphanage.

don't worry about Joon any more.

While you are gone, we will raise Joon well.

Raise him really well.

Therefore....

So, don't give up on your life.

Never give up your happiness.

Do you understand what your grandpa is saying?

Lets have a meeting

What's going on?

Sick for just a day, and now ready to get to work again, eh?

But don't try and get us all to be the same way.

Come on, sit down.

Before we get to work, please get me a cup of coffee.

Director, aren't you taking note of this?

Sending me on coffee errands, isn't that against labor laws?

So then, are you saying that it's against the labor laws for you but not for women?

Listen to this guy talk.

You better watch it or we women are going to smack you silly. I'm sorry...

Alright, I'll make some coffee right away.

The twit, messing around like that...

This is Mura.

May I ask who's calling?

Just a moment please.

Director Han, it's Jo MiSoo.

What's an unknown women calling for at this early hour?

An unknown female?

Han Young Min here.

Hello.

Why doesn't your cell phone work?

I gave you a call yesterday, but you didn't answer.

It fell in the water so it broke.

How did it...in water...

Ah, so that's why...

Oh, thank you for the scarf.

I'm sorry I couldn't return it, but can I give it to you next time?

Just in case you were calling about the scarf.

No,

That's not it.

I was wondering if things went well between you two.

Since I was the one who called you then...

So i was hoping that things had gone well..

You can give me back my scarf when you have time.

Thank you.

This is Mura.

who?

Han Young Min?

Who are you?

Who is this?

Why is a little kid wanting to talk to you? I asked who he was, but he said to ask you.

A little kid?

Oh, Joon.

Why did you call?

Are you sick?

Hmmm, I'm fine.

How did you get this phone number?

Grandfather?

Don't worry, I'm all better now.

Ok then.

Why are they all calling the office?

My cell phone broke.

But, why did the little kid tell me to ask you who he is?

Let's talk about personal matters after our meeting is over.

Hello everyone.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!!!

are you that glad to see me?

Of course we are very, very glad.

There's a reason behind it, so there's no need to be touched.

whats the reason?

the reason?

Misu, come here. ill tell you.

Go ahead.

sit.

You know, starting next month we want to make a new column, and we want you to do it.

what is it?

love and coffee or something about coffee. something like that.

one picture and a poem line.

do you get the point?

yes. its coming to me.

it just has to have a cup of coffee, then any picture is ok. theres nothing else.

same with the poem. it doesn't matter if its another person's, yours, etc.

a cup of coffee and a line of a poem....

isn't that a fine idea?

yes.

then are you telling me to write the poem or find one, anything i want to do?

no. take the picture yourself.

me?

but, with my skills, how am i supposed to...?

you just have to have the heart and feeling.

a little bit of amateur feeling may be better.

our concept is that.

what do you want to do?

You can't ask her what she wants to do when we have no other options.

MiSoo, you have to take this on.

and heres the camera.

wow! this is awesome!

jyung hyun was supposed to do it, but something else suddenly came in.

he has to do that instead.

ah, so that was the reason he was so happy to see me.

That's right, but you're always welcome. In this boring office, you're like a breath of fresh air.

Seems I'm a little funny.

Not just a little, more like a lot.

Thank you

it's the first time I've received that kind of compliment from a guy.

no need to be happy. he does that to any woman that comes in this office. except for us.

but it doesn't matter, cause i'm feeling great.

likewise, you're great

Do you take money for this?

then, you're going to do it, right?

yes, ill do it. i want to do it.

one moment.

hey Hyun Woo!

you have to help me.

it's urgent. let's meet.

what do you need help on?

my graduation essay. i didn't think of it as important, but i looked through some papers, and it's no joke.

I didn't really worry about it, but suddenly things have gotten serious.

I'm at BI right now.

i don't have my notebook laptop right now.

hurry and go home to get it.

you know the hotel where you did the interview, right?

meet me at the lobby in an hour.

that's a yes, right?

Hey Jo Mi Soo, why aren't you coming?

where are you?

i said i would be at the lobby.

oh. i see you.

what is that bag? did you leave home?

they're study materials. sorry i called you out so suddenly.

You look like you're either on your honeymoon, or you're a runaway.

What is it I need to help you with?

organizing and fixing sentences. help me.

it's annoying and troublesome, but what can i do. it's my sin for befriending you.

on one condition. you have to help me also.

You name it, I'll help you with anything and everything.

They created a new column about coffee and entrusted me with it.

So you've taken on two tasks then? That and the interview?

Ohhhh. Jo MiSoo, fighting!

Ah, right.

Before we get to work, we have to get the contract ironed out.

We have to separate our personal and business relationship.

First things first. How much are you going to pay me?

Are you talking about wages?

Of course you have to pay me, after all, I'm a pro.

That's so mean. How much are you asking?

I don't need money,

if I can just get your heart.

I'm sure that's what you'd love to hear, but there's no chance of that.

20.000 Won per hour. (about 20 dollars)

20.000 Won?!

Or if you don't want to, then forget it.

No, I get it. Though it seems really mean of you.

You won't regret it! Let's hurry up and get to work.

Where are we going to work?

Oh, I rented us a room. The elevator is....

You rented a room?!

You rented a hotel room?!

We can't do it at the library. Where else can we do it?

A hotel room is the most comfortable...

Have you gone crazy?!

But still, how can we do it in a hotel room--a man and a woman?

I mean, of course you're just a friend, not a man...

What kind of things are you imagining?

Do you really think I'd take you to a room and sleep with you?

A lot of the people in my major often rent hotel rooms to do this, okay?

Stop thinking such strange thoughts, let's hurry up and go.

I don't want to!

I've never been in a hotel room before.

Hey! I'm not going to eat you up...

What do you take me for?

My graduation essay is more urgent than any woman, okay?

The room is good for doing this kind of work in.

They have room service so it's easy to just order a coffee or some food.

Other people wouldn't think like that.

What would they think if they saw us like that?

That's what people mean when they say you can't get anything done because of your fears.

Hurry up!

Are you crazy?

I said I don't want to! Man, really...

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.

Come on...

What's wrong? Someone you know?

Yeah.

How long are you going to keep watching? Let's go.

Please bring us two cups of cappucino, hot please.

If we leave at 10:10 a.m., we'll arrive in Sapporo at 12:50 p.m.

So it should be about 1:30 by the time we get to the hotel.

I wonder if they already have a lot of snow.

But, back there, who were those two?

The woman's the daughter of my housemaid and the man is a student at the university I teach at.

But didn't it look like the two of them were going into a hotel room?

There's no proof.

They might have been headed to the lounge on the second floor.

Two coffees please.

Yes, 907.

Thank you.

Is this the topic for your paper?

The Standards for Human Scale Engineering

Uh... Why is the topic so vast?

First, put together a list.

What's that?

Le Corbusier's human scale...

Oh, sweetie,

I'm in front of the house. I don't really have the courage right now. Oh, alright.

I told you not to call me, what's wrong?! I'm standing right in front of my wife's house, you know?!

I just wanted to cheer you on. Do well!

You're not going to stay there overnight, right?

If you do, you're dead!

I'm hanging up! Hurry, hurry up guys!

Kiss.

Kiss.

You too, honey. Kiss.

Why are you only now coming?

I came just in time for dinner.

You should have come earlier and played with the kids.

I'm sorry! Sorry.

Daddy's been busy lately, so I didn't think of that.

But, before it gets colder, let's go play at an amusement park, okay?

You guys like the amusement park, don't you?

Daddy, you're not just saying the words and then going back on your promise, are you? YoonMi!

No, of course not!

There have been some promises daddy hasn't been able to keep, but this is not like that!

Promise! Promise! Promise!

Let's go inside. It's cold. Let's go...

Mother, your son-in-law's here!

Mom.

Yoon Mi's father is here.

Mother (in-law), I'm here.

Go greet grandmother. Yes. Let's go.

Grandmother!

YoonMi's dad is here.

This is Yoon Mi's father.

I'll greet you with the grand bow.

Thank you for coming especially to meet the grandmother you never knew of before.

Of course I have to come meet you.

But when are you going to start feeding your own family?

Men are supposed to feed their families. Women are supposed to bear children...

The Great Being created people in such a way, but,

are you made differently?

Grandmother!

There have been some difficult circumstances...

But...I'm thinking everything may be resolved soon.

Really, is that really true?

There's a golf course on the Phillipines that a couple of Koreans run.

They told me to come and work as manager.

I didn't tell you about that?

No, you didn't! A Philippines golf resort manager?

And the head manager at that.

Oh sweetie!!

Honey, honey...

Honey...

Mom, dad, what are you doing in front of grandmother?

Grandmother, you don't have to worry a bit from now on, he's going to take care of everything!

Please come visit me in the Phillipines, I'll make sure you're comfortable there!

Well, I don't ususally believe loud-mouthed people, but let's wait and see.

Oh, really...

Because of the existence of construction, the human scale...

or the concerns of humans to match their scale to that of construction's...

But one of the founder's of construction theory, Le Corbusier

says that construction of buildings can be a means of human expression.

Whoa!

Come here for a minute.

Here,

Turn like this, just...

What're you doing?

Forget an "S" curve, your body's more like an "H"...

and that is just not bringing me an inspiration.

What did you say!? And "H" line?

You... Hey, I was just messing around.

It was a joke, just a joke!

Oh, are the wedding preparations going well?

Director, I plan to design your wedding invitations myself as a gift. You can expect something special.

That's a great idea. That should end up a special wedding gift!

You've already decided on the time and date, right?

You've made the reservations too, right?

There's still time.

Han Young Min, I know exactly what problems you're having right now.

What do you mean by problems?

I don't know the specifics, but my intuition is never wrong.

What are you talking about?

You've appeared really distracted lately, and you've ruined the office atmosphere more than a couple of times.

It's been a while.

If you don't want to spit it out, you don't have to. I'm just saying this because it came up.

Hearing Senior Oh, it does seem like something's going on.

Thinking things straight through, YoungMin,

it started when that little boy showed up with that letter. You took that boy and ran out, didn't you?

YoungMin,

say something.

You've been out of it. You dumped the presentation, you're late, you miss work days, you've been sick...

That child... is my son.

.

Are you alright?

Should I get you something calming to drink?

Is it worrying you?

Don't be, I'm not as drunk as you think I am.

Of all things, a love child.

This world is really a scary place. How preposterous!

Hey, Young Min,

What are you going to do?

I mean, you're not even married, how could you be a father?

Well, being father, that's okay. Whatever,

well, it's not whatever, but,

you're about to marry a fiancee you're crazy about. So how did you end up being a father all of a sudden, and have to go through all this?

Is this what is means to have fate play with you?

Sonbei (sunbae),

I'll take you home, come on, get up.

This isn't fate playing with you, this is fate cursing you. This is a curse.

But, that fiancee of yours doesn't appeal to me either. What does she expect of you? What are you supposed to do?

It wasn't as if you got some woman pregnant while you were engaged to her. This was six years ago!

Seo Young wants to move abroad.

What? The two of you?

The two of us.

Oh, it's home.

Hello?

Mi Soo, why aren't you coming home?

I told you I had to help Hyun Woo with something.

When are going to come home?

Why are you asking, all of a sudden?

Because your brother-in-law came to greet grandmother.

Mi Soo, mother told him to stay over!

Then I'll be able to see him tomorrow.

I'll probably be late, let me speak to mom.

Mi Soo...

You're not going to tell them that you're in a hotel room, are you?
