Merry Christmas...

Merry Christmas.

Is it too quiet?

Will she go to Jeju?

And what's so different there?

What could be good now that's she's gotten this way.

So you think she won't be in the mood for a trip?

Seo Young!

Are you going somewhere?

Dad!

Let's have a Christmas party, you, me and mom. A wine party!

You mean, you went out and bought those clothes to have a wine party with us?

Dad, how's this dress?

Pretty.

Fine, let's have a wine party! I'll take care of the arrangements.

Thank you, dad!

Take off those clothes!

Take it off NOW.

The way you are...

I can't watch you anymore.

My heart hurts to see you like that.

Mom.

Take it off now!

So, should I just lay down in bed?!

Leave me alone, Mom!

What is it Joon?

Could you take me to Yoon Mi's house?

You want to go play?

I want to give them these cards.

Where did you get these cards?

I drew them.

For Yoon Mi and Yoon Ji?

For auntie too.

Auntie too?

Aah, Auntie is the greatest, don't you think?

I'm happy!

You're happy?

Me too!

Aw, who do you take after to be able to say such pretty words?

Hello everybody, some delicious chicken just made its way here!

Wow! I love chicken!

Go ahead and eat.

Our auntie is the best!!

Yoon Ji, you have to say it too!

Our auntie is THE best!!

I know, I know. Come on, eat.

Omo, delicious.

Where is this from, it's really delicious!

You want to buy some too? Alright, but you don't have enough money, I'll just treat you to it again.

Can't I even ask?

Who is that?

Nobody was supposed to come, right?

Oppa and Grandmom and Mom should still be eating dinner...

Go out and see.

Omo, Joon-ah!!

Why are you here?

Go on, you tell her.

I've come to give Yoon Mi and Yoon Ji a Christmas card. ^^

Auntie too, remember?

I have one for auntie too.

Aw, I couldn't even imagine this, you've even got one for me?

Wow... Thank you.

Could you please give these to Yoon Mi and Yoon Ji?

Why? Why don't you come in and give them to Yoon Mi and Yoon Ji yourself? Come in.

Could you wait outside for just a minute?

I'd like to invite you in, but the house is a mess...

It's okay. go on in. Alright.

Come in.

Yoon Mi! Yoon Ji!

Joon came over.

Omo, Joon is here?

JOON-AH!!

Joon-ah, go ahead.

Christmas cards. ^^

Ah, Joon brought some Christmas cards.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas!

Aigoo... our Joon is really cute.

Come in, come in. Come in quickly.

But daddy's waiting for you outside right now, what shall we do?

Ah, so your father came too. Then why don't you tell him to go out for a little while, then the children can play for a little bit here.

Joon, do you want to stay here and play?

Yes.

Oh of course. Children want to play.

I'll go and get permission.

Ok, Yoon Mi, go tell him and come back quickly!

Come in.

Let's go in.

Good evening.

What is it, Yoon Mi?

Can Joon stay and play with us? Just for an hour?

He said he'd like to.

Can he?

Sure, go ahead.

Thank you.

What will you do?

I'll just go home and then come back to pick him up.

Should I just take him over later? I could you know.

No, I'll be back later.

Are you... doing something important right now?

Right now?

Joon really seems to like you.

I didn't even get a card from him...

Joon didn't make a card for you?

Yeah.

Thank goodness Joon has Yoon Mi and Yoon Ji now.

He doesn't get a chance to interact with friends his age...

If you send him to kindergarten he'll be just fine.

Yeah, I should.

I heard about Seo Young from Hyun Woo.

I just went because I didn't know what to say.

It looks as if he considered it quite a large incident.

Thank goodness nothing much happened.

I believe it was all my fault. I feel very sorry towards Seo Young.

If Joon didn't appear out of nowhere...

she would have been very happy right now.

If she had been able to accept Joon, you three would now be extremely happy.

I thought about these things a lot on my own.

I know,

Your heart that wishes for us to pass these hard times.

I keep thinking that it would be great if Joon could just be happy.

As of now, I have no other plans besides that.

I think about it a lot,

how to make Joon happy.

It's okay. It was only a cat.

Are you okay?

What to do? What to do?

He's already gone. He's out of sight.

Calm down.

Ah, in all the world...

I'm most scared of cats.

Just relax, he's gone.

They say there are a lot of cats around houses these days.

I mean... there are cats in the park as well

My friend... lives in an apartment, and she says she can't go in the underground parking lot at night.

Because there might be cats.

Because she's that scared of cats?

Yes.

I really hate cats.

Here you go.

I didn't think I would cry over one.

This is really the first time I've been so surprised.

Let's go somewhere and drink a cup of tea.

Wait a sec...

Are you alright?

Yes.

I'm feeling quite well drinking this warm coffee.

You probably won't be raising any cats.

Of course I won't have any.

I might even keep my doors locked if there are many in the neighborhood.

I walk around carefully, afraid that I might see one...

The children are probably having a lot of fun right now, right?

We have another 15 minutes before we should leave.

For the time you'll be gone I'll pick Joon up to play often.

Take him to amusement parks....

to the swimming pool in the summer...

... ride sleds, and buy him Ddeokbokki to eat.

I'll take him to play with Yoon Mi and Yoon Ji.

Don't worry about him too much.

I've wanted to ask you something.

What?

When I said before that I would leave for Paris...

... you promised that you would take good care of Joon while I was away.

Will you become his friend even if I stay here?

Yes, sure I will.

In addition to writing, I think you would have been a great nursery school teacher.

You're right.

I've thought so as well.

We won't be buying anything.

What is this about?

Please take one. Today's Christmas, buy one for the lady.

This is purely professional.

And I'm sure your business is doing well.

I'll buy one next time.

How much?

2000 Won. (about 2 dollars)

Please give me one.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Well, I did think about giving you a Christmas present.

But, I thought it might seem strange, so I gave up the idea.

Besides, I also felt that, compared with everything I've received from you, it would remain lacking.

But, it's actually fortunate that the rose lady came by.

You seem to be turning into Santa today.

So this what it feels like to turn into Santa?

Mi Soo.... Merry Christmas!

I hear other voices.

Where are you? You're not at home, right?

I just went out here in the neighborhood. I'm about to go back.

It's really loud over there, I can guess where you are.

Come with me. Today's a special day, you know?

It's not that special a day to me.

You just go ahead and have fun. I don't feel like going out.

I'm hanging up

'I don't feel like going out?'

Why did you say you don't feel like it?

You could just go meet him now.

It seems like he's going clubbing. I don't like clubs.

Why not?

Everybody likes to dance, right?

I really can't dance.

Are you a wallflower?

Yeah.

Hyun Woo is lucky to have a friend like you. I envy him.

If... just if...

... you would feel happy if I was your friend...

...I'll become one.

Mi Soo, I just arrived at your front door.

Come out quickly.

What are you doing here?

Hello.

We get to see each other often...

Yes.

How did you get here?

I took a taxi.

Didn't I tell you I wasn't going to go out?

Are you discriminating people?

Going out with professor Han.

Jang Hyun Woo...

We just had something to discuss. Mi Soo, would you please get Joon for me?

Wait a minute.

My son likes to play with Mi Soo's nieces, that's why we came.

Did you try to contact professor Min to find out how she's doing?

I met her yesterday.

She said she was fine.

I heard about your cancelling yesterday.

I don't know if it's right for me to say this, but...

... professor Min seems to be having a really hard time.

Harder than you, professor Han.

I don't wish to speak of our affairs any longer.

Well done. Take care Joon!

Joon-ah, take care. Thank you for the Christmas card!

Bye.

Let's go.

Come back again!

Merry Christmas. Bye.

See you later. Oppa, bye

Oh, it's cold.

Joon-ah, take care.

Auntie, bye.

Bye.

We'll be leaving then.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

See you then.

You can't just send me away now, right?

You can't just go out to have a cup of tea with professor Han and then tell me no.

So, you're going to take me out AGAIN?

You do fine without me. Why are you always looking for me?

I just thought of you.

Just let me celebrate vee~ry slowly.

Alright. Then let's drink that tea vee~ry slowly.

Welcome.

Are you a regular here?

No.

How come the waitress is acting like she knows you?

I was just here...

That waitress is probably thinking I'm a two-timer.

You said you'd be at home, but then you just go out and have a date with professor Han, huh?

I don't want to explain, so pass.

I'm about to get mad here. Be careful.

Just order some tea.

You probably just had coffee, so why you don't you drink some juice?

Coffee.

That rose earlier... did professor Han buy that for you here?

On Christmas Eve... he drinks tea with you and buys you a rose.

I guess you got the full course, huh.

Your jokes are starting to get a bit strong.

We bought one already.

Before.

How much for all of them?

Hey!

How much?

All of them?

Yes, all of them

Hey, what are you doing?

Please just give us one.

Please give us all of them.

So you think if you buy me all this I'll be touched?

How much are they?

If you buy all of them, I'll make you a good price.

Just 30,000 Won. (about 30 dollars)

Jang Hyung Woo.... Could I have the money instead?

Thank you very much.

Here...

I told you I'm not touched...

What is this for?

What a waste of money!

I'm not cheap- buying you just one rose....

Do you know?!?... You're acting very strange these days....

A little...

I don't like that you're in the same neighborhood as Professor Han...

I don't like you ignoring my text...

Just act normal.... like always...

I don't like you acting so strange...

I want to become someone who gives his best for you...

Why?

Did you hang them well?

Yes.

Stop crying...

Stop crying... you're not the only one who could be crying right now...

What are you doing?... I have an empty glass.

Okay.

When did you start the party?

We started because we couldn't sleep.

Oh my.... How did you bring a bucket full of roses?

Hyun Woo bought them for me.

Yoon Mi's dad used to buy me flowers, too.

He used to buy you flowers?

He used to when we still had money...

Here....take them all... and stop crying.

If my husband were alive, he would buy them for me, too.

He passed away too early... and leaving me to be sad and alone.

Mom!

Mom.

STOP!

Oh gosh, really, what is this?

Hey, you, hurry up and get up.

Why aunt?

Mi Sun... hurry up and follow me.

Alright, aunt.

Grandmother

What's going on?

Where are you guys going?

Let's see what I have...

Mi Sun, you can wear this...

Mi Soo, how about this?

I want to wear that.

Okay...then switch.

Why should I wear this?

That's the back...

Or you can wear this instead...

Hurry....hurry... and get changed.

Why are we wearing this?

Just do as I say... and get changed.

Mi Soo, what are you doing?... hurry and get changed.

This?!?

Just wear it.

Can you take this out?

What's that?

What is this?

If you were going to sing, why didn't you ask me, too?

Aunt...and nieces...they're all alike...

Yoon Mi's dad...

You jerk!!

Hope your life sucks!

Grandma...

I can't... I can't...

I don't want to...

Hi!

I heard Seo Young was engaged recently...

I saw her fiancee... He's really good-looking.

Were you invited to the engagement?

Seo Young...

It's been a long time...

Congratulations on your engagement!

Me, too.

There were many guys who liked you...

I don't know about that...

Who said that?

Who wouldn't be interested?... the one you choose would become the son-in-law of the university president...

Really?!?.... Is that why?

Seo Young...

It's you...

Thanks.

Let's toast...

Cheers!

Glad to see all of you...

Cham, do you know Hee Joon?

Park Hee Joon.... He's here... he was looking for you...

Park Hee Joon?

His mother is a famous obstetrician...

You don't remember?

I do remember... Where is he?

Bend down... slowly....slowly... are you okay?

That's right.... just a little more...

...a little more...

I have an announcement...

Min Seo Young... broke off her engagement!

There are so many friends congratulating me on my engagement...

I cancelled it...

Spread the word...

to not hear any more congratulatory remarks...

The engagement is off...

Thank you, Hee Joon.

You're welcome. Good night.

Do you want to come in for awhile?

My driver is waiting for me.

Can't you send him home?

You can get a taxi.

Why did you call off your engagement?

It's a long story...

Do you want to listen?

No...

Not really...

I think I understand your character, Park Hee Joon.

Someone who doesn't care too much for others...

I don't think I'm that self-centered...

There's probably a difference between the "me" that I know and what others think.

I didn't think I would be spending Christmas Eve with you.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

No,

Sad Christmas...

Then... for our friendship...

Joon, where are you going?

...for Santa's present...

Santa said

your socks were too small, so he left it in here.

Look over there.

Wow.... It's a robot!

Wang Grandpa.... Santa must have known what I like....

He knows what you like... and he knows if you've been good or bad.

He said my socks were too small?

That's what he said.

Did you see Santa?

Of course I did.... We even had a drink together.

You did?

of course!

I want to show it to dad.

Go ahead...

You like it?

I really like it.

Joon-ah

Joon, I'm going skiing later... Is that okay?

Yes.

Hey!

I have to get ready for an interview... and do my research...

I told you I have a lot to do.

Hurry up and come out. I told you to get ready.

Hurry up...get changed and come out.

I told you I didn't want to go... Why is it up to you?

Who are you interviewing this time?

I'll find the research for you.

You... you... unbelievable!

Are you done?

There's no take-backs...

Okay, father-in-law?

It's "jang"!

What's that?

Just one take-back...

I told you there's no take-backs...

That's the fun of playing "jang gi"... to have take-backs...

Hurry and put it back...

We really can't do that...

You're not going to do as I say?

Okay... just this once.... only

Alright...

Put this there...

Are you going somewhere?

The office people want to go skiing...

You're going to the ski resort?

Why are you going so late?... What time is it already?

There is night skiing...and it's close by.

Joon, I'll be back later.

Yes.

Grandpa, I'll be back.

Have a good time!

Dad, you must have lost... You're not even looking up.

He keeps asking me to "take back"...

When did I ask you all the time?... just a few...

Okay...just a few times...

Maybe I'll go out for awhile...

Where?

What are you doing?...not paying attention...

Okay...

Hurry and make your move.

Good bye.

Have fun.

Even if you told him not to, he would...

Hurry up...

Yah...

Let's go in...

What is it?... Is it someone you know?

I think so...

A man or a woman?

You go in first.

Hello.

Where are you?

Me?

I saw someone who looks like you... and thought maybe it was.

I'm kind of far away...

I am, too.

I'm at a ski resort.... with Hyun Woo.

Then I was right.

I'm at the ski resort.

It was you...

At the ski resort?

This one?

Yes, this one.

Did you go to the resting area?

I saw you awhile ago, but I don't see you now.

Han Young Min?

I was so surprised.

How could we run into him...all the way out here?

Is there some kind of unfortunate coincidence/fate?

What was that?

That's strange...

There's nothing strange about what I said.

It keeps happening...

Why is that an unfortunate coincidence/fate?

Hello Professor

Hello

Hello.
