MOJUNGHYANG CHINESE CUISINE

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

-Thank you. -Enjoy.

It's been such a long time since we ate jjajangmyeon together.

Thanks, Jae-seok.

Oh Jae-seok. We're not forgiving you because you're buying us food.

Could we have some tangsuyuk too?

-Large. -Large dish, please.

-You're so cool. -I'm so touched.

What are you guys doing?

Why are you hanging out with the loser behind my back?

Well, Hae-kang, it's…

What's going on here?

I'll tell him.

The reason why I did that last year…

His mom told him to transfer.

His mom told him to.

I don't care about that.

Why didn't you order mine?

We already ordered yours, of course.

A large bowl of jjajangmyeon.

Really?

But it was cold of you not to call us after you transferred.

-Don't you agree? -Sorry. It was embarrassing.

Mom told me to play sports in Seoul,

-and I couldn't say anything. -You stupid mama's boy.

So you do have a sense of shame.

Hey, do you think you can do anything you want?

Don't you realize that you can't do anything significant without your mom?

I guess you're right.

Can you sleep at a friend's without permission?

I'm even paying for this with my mom's card.

Right. I'm 16 years old,

but my mom feeds me three meals a day, and finds me my socks.

But that's what a mom is.

Moms are like that.

-Have you been starving? -Have some more.

Eat up. Eat all this.

59TH NATIONAL SPRING BADMINTON LEAGUE

-Bang. -What?

That Oh Jae-seok guy

who lost against me. What's his rank?

Probably fifth in the nation.

Then if I crush the other four, I'll be the first in the nation.

Of course not. You'll have to win against me first.

Hang on. Why would I compete with them?

I just have to crush that Yellow Hair.

And if we win a team match, I'll get my Wi-Fi and retire.

I'm going to play baseball.

Hello, Hae-kang!

I trained with you in elementary school. Do you remember me?

Weren't you… You're Man-sik, right?

I'm Jun-sang.

That's right, Jun-sang. Hey.

You've grown a lot. You used to be so small.

You were awesome today.

Even Park Chan had nothing on you.

You don't have to say it like that.

Well, I won.

But they lost, so we didn't get to win as a team.

-It's just too bad. -Hae-kang.

We'll get to see you play again, right?

Well, if you really want that. Go and pray that you will.

I'll see you again next time. Bye. Get lost.

How cute. Bye, guys.

Good work, kids.

It was your first national competition, but you did great.

Hey, you know.

Our coach won all kinds of medals in every kind of game.

But why not an Olympic medal?

-Because she didn't win one? -Jeez.

She probably didn't play.

An injury, or maybe her rank wasn't that high.

No. Ranos…

I mean, Coach Yeong-ja ranked first before the Olympics.

-In Korea? -No, in the world.

Coach Hyeon-jong. Why didn't she play in the Olympics?

Did she not play in the Olympics?

It's such a long time ago. I don't really remember.

They say the heavens decide your fate regarding the Olympics.

Coach Ra may not have an Olympic medal, but she's still the best.

Whether or not she played in the Olympics doesn't matter. Got that?

But why didn't she play?

Lee Yong-tae, get out. Do you all want to run back?

-No. -No.

Our ace! How are you doing?

Let's meet next week. I'll go to your neighborhood.

Have some, Coach.

Don't you have team dinners? They don't buy you chicken?

How is your life here? It's so far from Seoul.

It's still a long way to get to my house.

But what business brings you here?

No business.

You should play baseball again, Hae-kang.

Did you change your mind already?

Do you like badminton better?

Coach.

While playing badminton again,

I realized…

how much I love baseball.

I love it even more than before!

RACKET BOYS

Se-yoon, what kind of victory ceremony did you prepare?

I know a super elegant one.

-What is it? -Lee Yong-dae style.

-Jeez. -Jeez.

How long will you keep doing that?

Hey, Se-yoon. This will look pretty cool. Look.

Ta-da. Isn't this cool?

-I practiced hard for this. -That's pretty cute.

Hey, Hae-kang. Give us some ideas for a victory ceremony.

Gosh. You losers. You're so clueless.

This is the trend these days.

No, it's this! That's a stupid dance.

Jeez. You're such a loser.

You little brats.

Se-yoon, how about this?

-Coach! -Coach!

Oh, my god!

MOM

Hi, Mom.

What is it this time?

Did she get a headache because of Coach's dance?

She seems to be in bad shape.

She's like that before international competitions.

And it gets worse before the match. It's stress, I guess.

Tell her to take medicine.

You're so clueless, aren't you?

It's a national youth athlete competition.

Have you heard of it? It's called doping.

You get caught even for taking cold meds.

Mom, stop! What's with you?

It won't kill you to not go hiking.

That's why you keep hurting your leg.

Stop worrying me, will you?

Is she using an accent?

She's from Daegu, and her family lives there.

Then why is she playing here? She could get more support in the city.

It's because of Ranos. I mean, Coach Ra.

Se-yoon wasn't that good from the start.

But since she won in the National Youth Sports Competition

in fifth grade, she's never lost.

-What does that have to do with Mom? -Her school and the team

didn't say anything bad to her.

Well, they couldn't since she was so good.

-And? -But Coach Ra did.

-What? -When she was a newbie coach,

she taught Se-yoon about grips and footwork all from the beginning

and trained her really hard.

Gosh! Stop asking if I ate!

Jeez, it's always food.

Moms seem to think we're starving all the time.

Hey, send your pep videos for Se-yoon to me.

You too, Hae-kang.

Me too? Why should I root for her?

You guys.

How about this?

-No! -Coach!

-Coach! -No way!

-No! -My eyes!

Mom, where are you going? It's Saturday today.

My daughter, I'm sorry.

Someone very important is coming to school next week.

I'll be back soon.

When you say that, you mean you'll be home late today.

I won't, Hae-in.

Hae-kang. Help Hae-in with her homework, okay?

Son?

I'll bring home chicken.

Hae-in, what do you need to do?

This? You just need glue and stick it on.

All right.

It's quiet without the other kids.

Se-yoon didn't leave.

She said she was going to bed.

Already?

It's not even six yet.

Na Woo-chan.

Yes, Father.

-You… -Don't say another word.

You always tell him to quit.

He can't even eat properly because of you.

It's so funny.

Hey, mom's here.

Hae-kang, Hae-in. Look what I got.

-Yay! -Yahoo!

Hae-in.

What's with your brother? Did something happen?

Well…

His old baseball coach came to see him. Maybe it's that.

Hae-kang! Your mom brought your favorite chicken!

I don't want any!

Fine! More chicken for us, then.

EDUCATION TO NURTURE PASSION AND VIRTUE

I have to do well on this test.

This is driving me crazy.

Hey, don't you know that e-School just gives you grades?

No, you have to get at least 40 percent of the average score.

What? Really? And what if you don't?

It's obvious. You can't enter the competition.

That's not a bad option. Being unable to compete.

Hey, you idiot. Be quiet. We're supposed to be studying.

You little…

All right. Sorry.

What happens if you drag down our average grade?

You jerk.

-One, two. -One, two.

-Three, four. -Three, four.

-Five, six. -Five, six.

-Seven. -It's cold.

Who turned the air conditioner on?

You should turn on the heater.

All right. Stop. The committee members and the principal will come soon.

Can't we practice a bit more before they come?

Okay.

You know, Se-yoon is the spitting image of you.

-What do you mean? -She's so determined

and never backs down against the boys.

It's not easy for a female player to do that.

That again? Stop saying such stuff.

One more thing.

You both hardly smile,

but you hardly cry, either.

Everyone, gather around.

We'll pick three players for the singles from tomorrow's evaluation.

The two who win will play in the singles,

and the other two will compete

to pick the remaining player.

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

It's just a normal evaluation for the small competition coming up,

so there's no need to feel pressured.

All right. Let's begin, then.

There's an international competition soon. How are you feeling?

The same as usual.

I don't think an international competition makes anything different.

You'll likely compete against another Korean player in the final.

You barely won last time. Are you confident you'll win?

I believe that if I work hard, I'll get good results.

That's not what I'm talking about.

With your headache and all, it won't be easy.

I'll try my best in every match.

Right. If that's what Han Se-yoon says.

This article's going to be about the lives of female athletes.

What's the most difficult for you as a female athlete?

What? I don't understand what you mean.

Even if you're just as skilled, you don't get acknowledged as much as men.

And you have monthly periods.

Mr. Kim. We have to train, so let's finish up the interview.

I just barely got started, though.

Mr. Kim, let's end it here.

All right, then.

See you at the competition, Se-yoon. Good luck.

Get some rest.

SHOUT VICTORIOUSLY! HAENAM JEIL GIRLS' M.S. BADMINTON TEAM

Gosh, that jerk. How did he even become a journalist?

I can't tell if he's friend or foe.

The lousy questions he asks…

But the badminton magazine he writes for is the best.

He even challenges the committee,

but he can't say anything to our coach.

I wonder why.

Should we go play games after the evaluation tomorrow?

I'm not sure I'd have the energy for that.

You're coming, right? You're a game addict.

I don't know. We'll see.

Woo-chan, my best mate. You have to come.

No.

Who else would I play games with?

And why would I be your mate? I'm your senior.

Woo-chan! Join me, okay?

No, thanks.

What's with Woo-chan? Did something happen?

You really don't know?

What do you think the evaluation is for?

It's to pick the ones who'll play the single matches.

Yes, but there are four of us.

And only three will compete.

That means one of us will be ranked last tomorrow.

It'll be tough for Woo-chan if he loses against Yong-tae.

As his senior, and as an athlete.

It'll be fine. Those two are close.

That's why it's tough.

Because they're close.

MOM

LET'S TALK LATER OKAY

Mom, how's your leg?

I'm sorry for getting angry before…

Mom, do you need anything from overseas…

Hey, Yoon Hae-kang.

I told you to send me a pep video.

Why didn't you?

No! Why would I do that? I told you I wouldn't.

Just do it, okay?

What's Se-yoon doing? Isn't she nervous before the competition?

-She's sleeping. -Already?

It's way too early.

Yoon Hae-kang! You better send it by tomorrow.

That little jerk.

Yoon-dam.

Goodnight.

Okay.

-We'll be back! -We'll be back!

My son.

Can I talk to you?

How are the meals at school?

You have to eat well to grow tall.

I'm not a kid, you know.

Hae-kang. Did I upset you?

Is this because of your baseball coach?

Because you can't play baseball?

QUEENSTOWN, NEW ZEALAND

This is nice.

It's a bit chilly.

Yes, it is.

You stuffed yourself.

Head Coach Fang, I need to tell you something.

Coach Oh, calm down.

You clearly haven't been abroad before.

What is it? This had better be serious.

Did you check the kids this morning?

That's what this is about.

What? Is someone injured? Sick?

No, it's something more serious.

Yoon Hae-kang wins.

Bang Yoon-dam wins.

Good work. Yoon-dam and Hae-kang, you can finish up for today.

-Can't we also decide who's in first? -Let's do that.

You really want to hear that you're in second?

Hey, now. Today's the evaluation. Next time.

Woo-chan and Yong-tae will play in 30 minutes, so get ready.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Someone is missing from the head count.

There's nowhere to go, though.

My gosh, I thought it was something serious.

I guess Coach Oh wants to show everyone it's his first time.

This is really serious!

Let me guess who it is.

It's time she arrived.

There she comes.

-Go, Se-yoon! -Good luck.

Hang in there.

-Go inside. -Good luck.

Hang in there.

It was pretty close, wasn't it?

Did Yong-tae play one year ahead of Woo-chan?

One year makes a huge difference.

Woo-chan did well, too.

Right. Woo-chan's defense is pretty good.

It'll be okay, right?

Good work. The head coach gave us his card.

-Let's wash up and go play games. -Yes!

Woo-chan, let's go play games.

I'm tired. I want to go home and rest.

Come on, let's go together.

I'm good. You guys can go.

Woo-chan, you'll join us tomorrow, right?

It's boring without you.

We're besties, you know.

No, I'm not going.

Woo-chan, come on.

I said, I'm not going!

Didn't I say no?

And am I your friend? Stop saying I'm your bestie.

Woo-chan, I didn't mean…

Yong-tae, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you.

Sorry.

Is it because of the evaluation?

You seemed pretty down these days, so I was trying to cheer you up.

Sorry about that.

No, you don't need to be sorry. And it's not about that.

Don't worry about it, okay?

-I'm going to use the bathroom. -Okay.

It's okay, Yong-tae. Don't feel too down.

I've never seen Woo-chan get angry like that.

He said it's not because of you.

Do you really believe that?

No. It really is because of that.

For sure.

Lee Na-ra, listen up.

They're all 16 year-olds, you know.

Don't make drop shots, and just smash, okay?

Their arms are so long. It won't work.

If you do it properly, your partner will get an opportunity.

-Don't get anxious. Okay? -Okay.

Dismissed.

Don't get too anxious about playing at an international competition.

And go to bed early. Don't stay up fooling around.

-Okay. -Okay.

Okay. All right.

Se-yoon, anything you want to say?

Well…

It's my singles final tomorrow.

I know. I didn't forget that.

What should I do tomorrow?

What?

-As usual. -What?

Just do it as usual. As you want.

Is there anything else you want to know?

-No. -It's because you're so good.

-We all believe in you. -You'll win anyway. Don't worry.

-Good luck. -Okay.

Bye.

Head Coach. She's still young. Maybe she wanted some coaching.

-Like tactics or… -There's nothing.

-Pardon? -There's nothing to teach her.

The only person she has to defeat

is herself.

What do we do? We're all living here together.

It's going to be fine. They're kids. They'll forget it all soon.

You're talking as if you're at least 20.

I am a bit mature.

Hae-kang. Let me talk to you for a minute.

No! I'm going to sleep! I mean, I'm already sleeping!

What a good son, Hae-kang.

Hey. About Yong-tae…

-Yes? What is it? -What is it?

-The competition's on his birthday. -What?

What's with your reaction? We should at least hold a party for him.

What? Then you really weren't upset because of the evaluation?

Right. You weren't playing games with us, and you were spacing out.

And yelling at Yong-tae.

It was a bit uncomfortable competing with him,

and I did feel upset losing.

But Yong-tae is better than me. And he trained longer.

It's right for him to play.

Then tell us. Why were you acting like that?

It was because of my father.

-Na Woo-chan. -Yes, Father.

-You… -Don't say another word.

You always tell him to quit.

He can't even eat properly because of you.

So…

how is badminton? Are you doing well?

What?

Yes. I'm practicing hard.

All right. Do your best.

I will, Father.

My father really doesn't approve of me playing sports.

He never said anything like, "Do your best. Good luck."

But he told me to do my best.

So I feel really anxious.

I'm sure he didn't mean anything else.

-Have you even fought with him before? -Of course not.

Woo-chan's father is a soldier. He's really scary.

Just once.

Yes. Just once.

Anyway, this is great. So you weren't upset about Yong-tae.

Yong-tae is our team's mascot.

He's adorable and kind. Nobody could hate him.

Woo-chan!

Except when he does this.

He's so clingy.

Han Se-yoon! You'll win for sure. We believe in you.

Don't you dare lose tomorrow.

You're Korea's pride!

You're the pride of Haenam Jeil!

You're always first place in my heart.

-You're the best in the world! -You're the best in the world!

This is so annoying.

What's so annoying?

Who else would it be? My mom.

You're lucky your mom doesn't contact you.

Hey. Han-sol asked me if it's okay to send you the pep videos.

She did? Why didn't she ask me?

What do you think? Your head hurts and you can't sleep well.

She was worried she'd just bother you.

I'll tell her to send them.

Where are you going? You can stay here.

HAN-SOL SENT A VIDEO

Se-yoon, go and crush everyone there. We're rooting for you.

Hey, don't say "crush" like that.

Se-yoon, destroy everyone like usual.

-Se-yoon, we love you! -Se-yoon, we love you!

Is that all you can do? Louder!

-We love you! Good luck! -We love you! Good luck!

Should we begin? Okay.

We're rooting for Han Se-yoon's victory.

What is this? Are we going to be on TV?

Be quiet! We're doing an interview.

I hope Ttangkkeut Village can be known…

-Which channel is it? -Be known…

-Channel Nine? -My gosh!

Se-yoon, we pity the player who'll compete against you.

You got so many hearts on social media. We're rooting for you!

Se-yoon, buy us nice snacks with your reward money. We love you.

Don't get nervous. We'll see you when you bring back a trophy. Also…

Se-yoon! I bragged about you at kindergarten. Good luck!

Coach! Say something too.

I'm okay.

Se-yoon, focus to the end.

What I want to tell you before the final match is…

do this.

-Coach! -Coach!

Go!

Well… I'm doing this because Han-sol told me to.

About mistaking you for a guy,

and bothering you when you were jump roping…

Well, it's…

-Sorry… -Just tell her you're sorry.

Hey, get out.

And close the door!

To be honest, I didn't know it was you.

But I recognized you soon after. I'm not sure about you, though.

I think it's really cool to play with the Korean flag on your chest.

What could be cooler than having everyone around you root for you?

It's awesome.

But you know…

I feel so awkward right now,

so you'd better erase this after you watch it.

I think…

you train harder than anyone and give it your all.

You've already done enough, and you're already awesome.

So what I want to tell you…

It's okay to lose, Se-yoon.

And not just this match.

Others in the future, too.

You've done great so far. You crybaby.

And if you're having a rough time and you feel upset,

just cry. Don't hold it back.

It's okay.

I didn't mean that you should cry right now…

This is the New Zealand Junior

Open Badminton Championship 2021.

Women's singles final!

Please welcome the players.

Han Se-yoon from Korea!

White or black?

-Black. -White.

Black. You choose.

-Receive. -You receive.

-This side. -That side. Okay.

-You can do it! -Good luck!

Ladies and gentlemen,

on my right, Han Se-yoon from Korea

GO, HAN SE-YOON

On my left, Laura Fisher from New Zealand.

Laura Fisher to serve.

Love-all.

Play.

Service over.

One, love.

Match point. Twenty, eight.

Match point by Han Se-yoon.

-Good job! -You did great!

Twenty-one, eight.

Look at her!

I can't believe it.

Gosh. Se-yoon was so awesome.

She's so cool. Has she ever even lost before?

Of course, she has. It's just all blown out of proportion.

-She got pretty lucky, too. -What? Lucky?

It's not about luck at all.

Guess where the competition's held.

I think it was Queenstown, New Zealand.

Yes. That city is about 7 or 8 degrees around this time.

She trained with the AC on in the gym to adjust to the temperature.

And slept four hours early because of the time difference.

"Lucky"? Just eat your noodles.

Congratulations. How do you feel right now?

I'm over the moon.

It doesn't look like that to me.

I get why she's such a big deal.

I'm still amazed every time I see her.

What amazes you?

Every time, it seems like she's reached her limit.

But the next time I see her, she's even better.

I guess she slept well and had no headache before the match.

She did so well.

It's all right.

You were having a hard time with your headaches.

But you seemed fine during the final match.

Did you find a treatment that didn't involve doping?

Did you get some different kind of care?

There was nothing different from usual.

Really, then how did you do so well today?

Thank you.

Thank you.

But she definitely seemed a bit different from before.

I might have been mistaken, though.

She looked like she enjoyed it.

-I want ramyeon. -Me too.

-Ramyeon is the best. -Isn't it?

-Yes, really. -Come on.

Can't get sick of it.

Han Se-yoon, we have to party. I brought everything…

-Let's go. -What is it?

-Let's go. -Is she asleep?

Be quiet.

Hae-kang.

My son.

It's Sunday. Let's eat out tonight.

Let's eat your favorite.

No thanks. I'm just going to sleep.

What's gotten into you?

Let me talk to you.

Mom. Do you even know what I really like?

Why do you suddenly want to talk to me?

Just act like you always have.

Why are you acting like other moms now?

What's this about?

When I was little,

I knew there was nobody home when I came back from school.

But I said, "I'm home" really loudly.

Honestly, I hated eating

the food that Dad made by myself.

But I could endure it

because it was better to think that I didn't have a mom.

Hae-kang, I…

Why are you acting like you're a normal mom now?

I'm used to not having a mom.

I can play games and play baseball.

But what about Hae-in?

Have you ever helped Hae-in with her homework?

That's right. Slowly.

Okay. Just like that.

Hae-in.

The homework you got from kindergarten last week…

I already handed that in.

Can you show me?

Honey…

YOON HAE-IN

Is this it?

Family trip…

POST A PHOTO OF A FAMILY TRIP AND INTRODUCE YOUR FAMILY

Hae-kang.

I understand why you behaved like that.

And I'm sorry.

I really mean it.

There's no need to feel sorry.

You were just following your dream.

You left me and Hae-in for badminton.

Because it was more important than us. Isn't that the reason?

-Hae-kang. -To you,

me and Hae-in were taken for granted.

Why would we suddenly be special to you now?

You're right.

I have no excuses to make about making you feel lonely.

But you and Hae-in are much more important

to me than badminton.

And of course, you're special to me.

I'm really sorry.

Can't you tell me how you feel from now on?

I didn't know how you were feeling.

So can you understand?

It's my first time being your mom.

That's why.

Mom.

It's my first time, too.

It's my first time being your son, too.

Yoon Hae-kang.

Hae-kang.

-Don't talk about Mom. -When I was young…

That's even worse.

When playing baseball or badminton, personal connections are important.

You know what it's like, right? It was worse in the old days.

But one player I know

never cared about that, and only focused on winning with skills.

That made her unable to participate in the Olympics, though.

That player was so determined. She made it so they had no choice.

She became the top player in the world.

She was so excited to be able to finally compete in the Olympics.

But she gave up the Olympics

and suddenly retired.

Why? That's so stupid.

Because she got pregnant.

There was a risk of miscarriage,

so she had to give up either the Olympics or the child.

She made her choice.

But do you know what was really awesome?

One rookie journalist kept asking her about it on the day of her retirement.

That journalist had been provoking her for a while.

"Did you make that decision because you're a woman? A mother?

Is that why you're giving up badminton?"

What did she say?

She said she didn't make the choice as a woman or a mom.

She just made the choice herself.

And then…

How should I put it…

She bashed him.

What?

She bashed that journalist.

There weren't any articles released about it, but it was terrific.

Gosh, I'm getting hungry.

Let's go eat dinner.

I'm fine. Go without me.

All right. We'll have more to eat without you.

Oh, right.

You know what else she said?

She said that decision she made was much more valuable than an Olympic medal.

She would never regret it.

Fine. So that's what she said back then.

Yes. That's right.

And again last night.

BURN RAMYEON

-What? -What?

What is it?

About the competition.

You were pretty good.

Where is everyone? Why are you here alone?

Well…

I had a fight with Mom.

I'm not sure if it was a fight or if I did something wrong, but anyway…

By the way, have you ever seen my mom smile widely before?

Of course.

It's a very rare occasion, though.

Once, we lost against the team her rival was coaching.

We were forced to train all day that day.

Anyway, we were all scared.

Good work, everyone.

Get some rest on the weekend. I'll see you next week. Dismissed.

Attention, bow.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

But she was smiling.

And she told us to go home.

It sounds scarier that she was smiling.

Coach. Is there some kind of good news?

You guys.

You know what it's called when a pitcher wins without letting the other team score?

I heard of it before.

A shoutout, right?

-Right. A shoutout. -Yes.

No. It's called a shutout.

My son did that today. A shutout.

And was voted the MVP.

Look.

Isn't he handsome?

Doesn't he look a bit like Park Bo-gum or Jung Hae-in?

He's so handsome.

Didn't you get in a fight with your mom? Did you call her?

No.

Your mom probably goes to all your matches, but I've never seen her.

I once lost when my mom came to see my match.

Mom thought it was her fault,

and never came again after that.

She doesn't even call before matches.

Just tell her you're sorry.

No way. I'm never going to do that.

-Can you do that? -No.

I just told you to, but I could never.

I know I should say sorry, but I just can't.

What do you think my mom really wants from me?

That wasn't me.

We're the only ones here, you know.

Hey, I know a good restaurant in Haenam.

Let's have dinner there.

Sure.

Here you go.

There was nothing much to serve you.

No, this is even more than what we eat on holidays.

What do you mean? We ate like this for breakfast.

There's more food, so tell me if you want any more.

Thank you for the meal!

This is amazing.

I just found out that you actually like stuff and smile.

Whatever.

You know, grown-ups always say, "Did you eat?" as a greeting.

Even if it's 3 p.m.

I guess it's because they don't have anything else to say.

But when my mom asks me if I ate,

it's because she's really curious and worried about whether I ate.

I'm just saying.

Let's eat.

I'm totally stuffed.

So, what are you going to say to Coach?

I don't know. We'll just forget about it, I guess.

Just go home later and…

Hey, that's not going to work.

Even Hae-in doesn't do that these days.

It's going to work for sure.

Do you think Hae-kang knows that you paid for the debt?

Gosh.

If only I hadn't stood surety for Yang-su back then…

You did that because of the hospital bills

when Yang-su's daughter was sick.

Don't regret past choices.

We're doing well enough right now.

And our kids grew up well.

But why was Hae-kang making such a fuss? Hae-in's okay with it.

But who knows?

Hae-kang might come in and say "I'm sorry, Mom."

No way. He didn't even do anything wrong.

And stop asking Hae-kang questions.

He's only 16 right now.

I think…

I'm feeling a bit sick.

I've been having a headache.

I told you not to stay out in the cold!

Let me see.

You're burning up. Why didn't you tell me before?

Go and rest in your room. I'll bring you medicine.

Okay.

Where are the headache pills?

It's in the cabinet, second drawer on the left.

Headache pills…

Here they are.

Do you feel a bit better?

Why did you have to get sick? You're making me upset.

I feel a bit better now.

You took medicine, so get some sleep.

You'll feel all better in the morning.

-Mom. -Yes?

Have you ever cried before?

Like when you lost an important match.

No.

I've never lost before.

Then how about when I got injured while playing sports?

No. Why would I cry when you're the one who's hurt?

Right.

-Then did you ever bash someone? -Of course…

Honey! What have you told him?

Hae-kang. Why aren't you doing your homework? Your teacher called.

I feel sick, Mom.

-You're faking it now, aren't you? -I'm sick.

Did you make up with your mom?

We didn't even fight in the first place.

You know, it's best to just let your mom win.

She's still your mom, after all.

Hello?

Okay, Mom! How many times are you asking the same thing?

Okay, I get it! I'm hanging up!

DAEGU STARLIGHT CHURCH 40TH ANNIVERSARY BIBLE STUDY

I ate.

What about you, Mom?

-I'll be off. -Go on.

-I'll see you next week. -All right.

-Bye. -Bye.

-He's gone. -He's gone.

-He's so handsome. -How nice.

-What is that? -My gosh.

-Is that your son? -Yes.

Wow, he really is handsome. Does he play badminton?

Yes, he enjoys playing it.

Right. Having good grades isn't everything these days.

He's handsome, and he even has good grades.

Gosh, why are you saying all that?

You'll end up telling her he's the team captain, too.

My goodness.

-Here, this is on the house. -Will this be enough?

Honey. Why did you suddenly tell Woo-chan to do his best?

He's entering high school next year.

I'll let him play until this summer

and make him quit on his own.

He probably knows that he's just not cut out for it.

But Honey.

The side dishes are a bit…

You don't even know this?

This is serious. You're on a lower level than Hae-in.

You're like a six-year-old.

Darn it!

Why do you have to be the tutor?

I didn't want to come here, either.

Our teacher asked me to.

You guys are dropping our average score.

Darn it. He's so annoying, but I've got nothing to say.

I'll be back later,

so don't doze off, don't use your phones, and don't watch TV. Got that?

Yes.

Got that?

-Yes! -Yes!

You little brats.

Keep studying!

-I'm so sleepy. -Hey, get up.

I'm going to tell our teacher!

-How about some ramyeon? -Yes!

-Yes! -Yes!

Darn it.

We don't have ramyeon.

That's ridiculous. There's no ramyeon!

-Jeez. -Jeez.

Hello.

Are there no grown-ups inside?

They left just now.

I see. We enjoyed the curry last time.

Paik Jong-won's curry.

And here. It's not much, but…

Have this.

Yes. Thank you.

-Enjoy. -Okay.

What is it?

They ate the curry I gave them last time and enjoyed it so much.

They gave me this since they were so touched by the taste.

If they really ate that curry, wouldn't it be best not to open that?

I'm sure it won't be nice.

We'll know once we open it.

This is great!

It's supposed to be a travel photo. This should work, right?

We can say we're on a trip here.

-Look at the camera here. -Okay.

One, two, three.

Come on, Hae-kang. You look like you're going to fight someone.

-Smile a little. -Just take the photo.

-Gosh. -Smile, you brat.

-I'll take another. -All right.

One, two, three.

Hey, what are you doing?

Set the timer and come over here.

-Me too? -Yes.

-Come on! -Hurry up!

-Hurry up! -Come on!

Okay.

-Hurry up! -Okay.

Okay! One, two…

-Are you copying my pose? -Why isn't it working?

It must've been a video.

-Jeez! -Gosh!

Jeong In-sol, you're only book smart!

Hey, that's enough. Go and fix it.

Go!

-Yes! -Yes!

#HYEONJONGS_BOARDINGHOUSE #GREAT_POSES #CLOSER_THAN_FAMILY

Hae-kang. Why didn't you tell the others about this place?

It'll be nice to play here together. I like everyone.

Why would I?

If they all come here, the Wi-Fi will get really slow.

And it won't be fun.

Hae-kang, you know what?

Know what? Tell me.

If you look at the photos here, you look the most excited.

No way. Let me see.

I haven't seen you smile like that in a long time.

So you're playing, right?

Coach.

I really do like baseball more,

but my team needs me right now.

They can't enter competitions without me.

But you have lots of players--

We need you, too. That's why I came all the way here.

Is that the only reason?

I have to get Wi-Fi installed,

and there's a yellow-haired kid I need to get revenge on.

All right. I understand.

But it's a relief that you still like baseball.

I'm just worried because you seem to have gotten close to your team members.

-Are you friends now? -No way.

They just live in our house.

Think about it until the summer competition.

I'll come back again.

Thank you, Coach.

RACKET BOYS

We’re not getting disbanded, are we?

-We just have to win. -I bet they'll get eliminated right away.

Coach! Are you up?

If you're not on court five minutes after being called,

-you're disqualified. -Hurry up!

-Isn't this a big problem? -And give the boys some other excuse.

Did you hear what we were saying?

-Woo-chan! -Somebody, call 911!

What? Is she okay?

I heard they got disbanded.
