Su Mi.

Su Mi.

Woo Seo Ri.

Her name was Woo Seo Ri.

She was alive.

You are alive.

- Mister, why... - Thank you for being alive.

Thank you.

Mister, what's wrong?

Thank you.

Come out when you're done.

I'll wait outside.

Did you see a young man standing here?

No. Why do you ask?

Where did he go?

He was really pale. He looked like he'd faint.

I wonder if he's okay.

(Winner of Single Scull! Congratulations!)

You can change the banners as you please.

Put up what was there before.

Sir. This Lee Ri An is me.

I place number one every month, so this is meaningless.

I'll hang that up just this once. I'm sorry, sir!

Hey! Number one national student!

You're her boyfriend's nephew, right?

I'm talking about Mr. Gong Woo Jin.

I'm sure she misunderstood.

It must be a misunderstanding.

- Where are you going? - I think I'm all better.

Thank you for everything you've done.

Where are you going?

I'm fine. I'm really fine.

Hey, Yoo Chan.

I can't be any better than this.

Seriously, it doesn't hurt anymore.

- You shouldn't move. - Please.

- He's doing it again. - We need to hold him down.

Let's go.

- Help me. - Hey.

- Stay still. - Hey.

I'm not just saying this.

I'm really fine. I'm serious, okay?

This can't get better in two days.

Here's the x-ray.

Usually it doesn't get better in two days.

What?

It's all better, right?

Wait... How can you recover so quickly?

Taxi!

- Yoo Chan! - Hey!

He's like an animal. Why is he so fast?

Hey, this hospital serves great seaweed soup.

Should we get a bowl?

Hey, it's a matter of course. Why bother asking?

- Let's go. - Okay.

- Matter of course? - Never mind.

Yes, it's me.

I see what happened.

She hasn't eaten because of the tests.

She's probably shocked about her friend.

She must be very tired.

Please take good care of her.

- I will. - And...

if you have time, can we meet later?

I have someone...

who cries for me and thanks me for being alive.

I feel sorry for my friend for some reason.

Because we had the same accident, but only I survived.

You must be tired.

Let's go in.

The doctor called me and told me what happened.

You must be devastated.

When you're worn out,

you must take care of yourself.

Eat some porridge I made for you.

I'm sorry, but...

I want to lie down.

I'll get some sleep first.

Okay.

Go to my room and sleep in my bed.

Mr. Gong, you don't look well also.

It's because I've been driving for too long.

Go inside.

I'll bring you a wet towel.

You should go to your room and take some rest too.

Okay. See you.

Mister.

Why haven't you been looking at me when talking?

I'm just a little tired.

Get some rest.

It's because of me.

Not here. You have to get off at the stop after this.

She didn't have to live like this...

if it wasn't for that accident.

I'd been lying unconscious in a hospital bed for 10 years.

While I was in bed, I lost all my skills,

and I woke up to find myself as a 30-year-old.

If she kept playing, she would have lived a completely different life.

It really breaks my heart to say that there is nothing she can do...

to make up for the time she has lost.

It's because of me.

She's been in bed for 10 years.

There's no way she can play the violin that well.

I don't mind as long as I can play the violin.

To me, an opportunity like this...

is so precious.

It's because of me.

I want to retrieve...

my time that was lost.

It feels really strange and difficult...

for me to be this age.

Of course, I'm an adult,

but it feels like I'm the only one who hasn't become a real adult yet.

I...

took it away.

I ruined...

everything.

It's because of me.

It's all because of me.

It's because of me.

It's all because of me.

It's because of me.

(Episode 27, Etude of Farewell)

Chan.

Where is your cast?

I'm all fine now.

Then where are your stuff, and how did you get discharged?

I'll take care of that later.

Where's Uncle and the lady?

Seo Ri just fell asleep,

and Mr. Gong is in his room.

You might fall...

if you do that, but I guess you really are an athlete.

Uncle. I heard something really funny at the hospital.

What? Where did he go?

Why isn't he in his room?

What? Were you here?

What are you...

What's wrong?

What happened?

What's wrong?

What's going on? Tell me.

What is it? What's going on?

I'm really worried about you.

I'm fine now.

Anyway, why are you here? What about your leg?

I'm all good now. So forget about me.

What on earth is going on?

- Chan. - Yes. What?

I'm really sorry,

but can I get some rest? I'm a bit tired.

- But... - Please.

Seo Ri. You should wake up...

and eat something.

It's been too long since you had any food because of the examinations.

I am...

too sleepy.

I'll just keep sleeping.

Hey, Jennifer.

Did something happen to my uncle?

I heard from the doctor...

that they went to see Seo Ri's friend together.

They met the lady's friend?

Her friend who got into the accident with her back then...

Is she all right?

It must have been a huge shock. She's been sleeping all day.

I will go to the hospital later and take care of everything.

- I'll get my bag... - I will do it.

I have someone to meet there too.

Oh, sure. Thank you.

If that happened to her friend,

why is Uncle so distressed?

Why did he go to the storage?

These are everything he used before he came to Germany.

Why did he suddenly look through his old stuff?

Wait, could it be that again?

Uncle. May I come in?

Uncle.

Uncle. Uncle?

Why? I'm here.

What's wrong? Hey.

I thought about that day...

when I saw you cry in the storage.

When you first came here after you decided to move in with us...

from Germany.

Uncle.

Uncle, are we going to live together now?

I was really excited to live with you.

Uncle.

You were always smiling, but on that day,

you cried.

Why are you crying?

Did someone steal your food?

I don't remember much...

from back when I was six.

Uncle.

But oddly...

Chan.

I clearly remember how you cried.

Chan.

I remember to this day.

Uncle.

I'm scared.

I loved how you recently came back to how you were before.

I'm scared that you might go back to how you were back then.

I'm really scared.

I don't know what's going on now...

or back then.

I'm just worried that...

you might start distancing yourself from everyone again.

I feel nervous that you might suddenly disappear...

for months again.

Chan.

You're not really thinking of going somewhere, are you?

You're not going to leave, right?

Why aren't you answering me?

Wait a minute. Where's your passport?

Here it is.

I'm going to take this from you.

Give it to me.

No, I'm never going to give it to you.

See? You can't go anywhere now.

- Chan. - What?

Let's eat.

I'm hungry.

Here.

Is your ankle really okay?

Gosh, call the doctor and ask if you can't trust me.

I even took an X-ray.

I'm relieved.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the bathroom. Do you want to come with me?

I have so many questions I want to ask.

Was Seo Ri...

really okay when she lived with you?

- Was everything really fine? - Yes.

She was completely...

fine.

At least, that's what it seemed like to me.

She was loved by everyone in the family.

I'll repay you for this.

- She was also very giving. - I promise that I'll repay you.

Surprise.

She laughed a lot...

and cried a lot.

It was as if she was an old friend...

and a true member of the family.

Everyone...

was very warm toward her,

and she was just as warm toward us.

If I knew she was so nearby...

If...

I met her back when she came to my house...

Or if I met her when I visited that house... No.

If I didn't get dispatched abroad, I would've met her a lot sooner.

The word...

"if"...

sounds...

very sad.

Maybe it's because I know...

how much that word means...

when you're dealing with something that's so hard to accept.

I guess that's why...

the word "if"...

sounds so sad...

to me.

I think the excessive amount of stress put a strain on the fetus.

On top of that, you didn't take good care of yourself.

Let's proceed with the surgery next week.

I know it's going to be hard,

but you need to eat and sleep well.

Okay?

If...

I took better care of myself...

If...

I was able to deal with my emotions...

If...

I didn't break down like that...

I'm pretty sure...

no one's ever thought of that many situations that could've happened...

as I have.

That's why the word "if"...

sounds so sad to me.

It's a necessary word...

that somehow helps you accept...

the things that are very hard to take in.

Here you are.

I made a mistake earlier, didn't I?

I didn't know that she wasn't aware of her friend's death.

I'm sorry. I never would've said anything...

if I knew about it beforehand.

I guess...

this is why...

the word "if"...

is a very sad word.

Now I get...

why it's such a sad word.

What's up? Where are you going?

We're not the only ones who get hungry. Deok Gu needs to eat too.

Oh, right. Deok Gu.

Okay, go ahead.

Okay.

Is he really okay?

Am I overreacting?

No, I need to stay alert.

You're home.

- Is she still sleeping? - Yes.

I think she's using sleep to avoid reality.

A lot of people tend to sleep a lot...

both consciously and subconsciously...

when they need to deal with...

something difficult.

Seo Ri's sweating quite a lot.

I think I'll need to help her get changed once she wakes up,

so I'm going to get her clothes.

You can check on that. I'll go get her clothes.

Why? Where are you going?

The kitchen. Jennifer wanted to ask me something,

and I forgot to talk to her.

Oh, okay.

- Chan. - Yes?

I'm going to drink some coffee. Should I get you something too?

Do you want hot chocolate?

Sure, hot chocolate sounds nice.

Is he really okay now?

But then again,

I ripped his passport, so he can't go anywhere.

Because of me...

Was it all a dream?

What? Why isn't he here?

Uncle, are you in the bathroom?

Uncle.

Su Mi.

Su Mi.

I'm not allowed in here.

But...

What's Mister's phone doing here?

Why is that...

This is...

me.

Why is this...

Why am I on this?

Uncle! Uncle!

Uncle!

You scared me. Where have you...

Hey.

Hey.

What are you...

That's Uncle's phone.

Were you with him?

No. Why do you ask? Is he not home?

I have something to ask him.

What's going on?

I think he knew me.

I think he's known me since a long time ago.

What do you mean?

This uniform, this hairstyle, and this pedestrian overpass.

This is me from 13 years ago.

I remember this clearly.

The name... Is it...

Woo Jin must've been in Germany then.

How did he know me?

Where did you find this?

In the storage.

Storage.

What? Were you here? What are you...

This was 13 years ago. Woo Jin was in Germany then.

13 years ago, he was studying in Germany.

But he came to Korea in the summer, so if it was before then...

This was not long before I had the accident.

Accident?

But I didn't know anyone named Gong Woo Jin.

How did he know me?

Did he pretend not to or did he really not recognize me?

I have so many questions to ask him.

Something happened, and he came to Germany unexpectedly.

May I ask you what kind of accident it was?

I don't know exactly because I fell unconscious.

But it was a huge accident.

Everyone knows about Cheongan junction 12-car crash.

There was an accident. Please come to the hospital quickly.

I'm sorry.

(Kim Tae Jin, Male, Date of accident: August 13, 2005)

Dear our strong baby's mommy,

Go away, morning sickness! Cheer up, honey!

I love you. From our strong baby's daddy.

How...

Jennifer, why...

Are you okay?

I'm always...

okay.

Are you all right?

What did you and Woo Jin talk about earlier?

He went downstairs because you needed to talk to him.

Then he didn't come up.

I never called him downstairs.

He said you called...

It's all here.

All his stuff is here.

It doesn't look like he went anywhere far.

Excuse me. Wait.

Excuse me! Wait!

Wait.

What is it?

Do you...

have a picture of him when he attended school...

here?

Why do you want to see his old picture?

Not here. You have to get off at the stop after this.

I did something very regretful to someone...

a long time ago.

I was scared...

that I might've interfered in someone's life again.

Woo Seo Ri.

Her name was Woo Seo Ri.

She was alive.

You are alive.

Mister.

Why haven't you been looking at me when talking?

I think it's because of me.

Because of me,

he left.

What do you mean?

Why would he leave because of you?

No. I'm sure he didn't go anywhere. His stuff is all here.

Look. I ripped his passport, so he can't go anywhere.

So don't worry...

It's expired.

That passport has expired already.

No way.

He really left.

Where are you going?

Sir?

I'll take whatever is the earliest and farthest.

Hey!

It wasn't...

It wasn't a dream.

Mister, why are you here?

I'm so sleepy.

Yes, go to sleep.

No.

He can't leave like this.

Make sure you live long.

Yes. Okay.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm sorry, but can you stop the car for a moment?

There's no use in going there now.

He even...

left a note for you in your room...

and left. He's gone.

How may I help you?

What? The person who paid for Seo Ri's hospital fee...

for 11 years?

Yes, he visited the hospital himself.

Who is it?

It's this man.

He wants to meet Ms. Woo himself. What should I do?

(Missing, Kim Hyun Gyu, Gook Mi Hyun)

Gook Mi Hyun?

I've heard that name before.

Oh, that lady from the house with the tree.

(My goal is to win! Don't think, feel.)

What is this, Uncle?

You said...

you'd bring me hot chocolate.

The first time I met you was...

when I was coming back from my art studio.

I suddenly heard the sound of a small bell.

When I looked up, I saw you there on the overpass.

I guess it was the sound coming from your key ring.

I began to wonder...

what you were doing up there.

After that, I saw you a few times in my neighborhood by chance.

I became curious about you.

"What is on her mind that she keeps..."

"getting drenched with water?"

"Why does she wear mismatched shoes?"

"Where did she get that question-mark-shaped massager?"

"Where does she live?"

"Which school does she go to?"

"What's her name?" The questions were endless.

It's not her.

I kept hoping that I might run into you.

That I might see you by chance again.

I found myself waiting for you.

I wanted to be your friend. Then...

I finally got to know your name.

(No Su Mi)

Right, Su Mi.

Your name is No Su Mi.

Su Mi.

No Su Mi.

Su Mi. No Su Mi!

- Hey! - How have you been?

I think I was unbelievably happy to just know your name.

I was such an idiot...

not to have realized that it wasn't your name.

I was going to give you the drawing and ask to be friends.

I always carried it with me...

so that I could give it to you at any time.

Then I really ran into you again.

Excuse me.

Yes?

That day, on that bus.

I told you to go another stop and get off there.

Then your friend got on the bus,

- Seo Ri. - and I suddenly got shy.

That's why I ran off like an idiot.

That's why I couldn't give you the drawing.

But your key ring must've gotten caught on my poster tube.

I suddenly wanted to muster up my courage again...

and ask to be friends as I gave it back to you.

I really wanted to tell you that I wanted to get to know you.

So I started running after the bus.

But that's when...

the accident happened.

It happened right in front of me.

I made you stay on the bus,

and that bus had gotten into an accident.

(2 Casualties: No Su Mi, Kim Tae Jin)

I felt so sorry,

and I was so sad.

It hurt so much that I wanted to die.

But I didn't know what to do,

so I just ran away like a coward.

But one day, some girl suddenly showed up in my room.

I thought you were dead,

but you suddenly showed up in my life again...

in 13 years.

I found out way too late,

but I'd like to thank you...

for being alive.

But...

there's one thing that will never change.

I'm the one who completely ruined...

your entire life.

I don't think I have the right to stay beside you.

I'm sorry for making you...

have nightmares.

I'm sorry...

for ruining...

your life.

If it weren't for me,

you wouldn't have lost 13 years of your life.

You wouldn't have had to stop playing the violin,

and you wouldn't have lost your aunt, uncle,

and this precious house that used to be yours.

I'm the one who stole your teenage years...

and your 20s.

I'm the one who made...

you feel awkward about your age.

I'm the one who completely ruined...

your life.

I'm sorry for liking you.

I'm sorry...

for wanting to be your friend.

I'm sorry...

for taking away...

your precious time.

(Ward 21, Jinsung University Hospital)

Are you the person...

who'd been paying for...

Seo Ri's hospital fees?

Who are you?

I'm sorry, Chan. I'll call you soon.

Please give this to her for me.

Hey.

Hey.

Where did she go?

This must be a really great spot.

Great things happen every time we're on this pedestrian overpass.

Every time I wanted to meet you but didn't know where you were,

I always ended up seeing you here.

I missed you!

From now on, I should come here whenever I miss you.

That won't happen.

I'll never disappear.

I promise.

You promised.

You promised...

that you'd never disappear.

I didn't leave.

I felt like I should keep my promise.

I didn't think it was right to run away again.

Where were you?

You promised that you'd never disappear.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I constantly thought about...

what I could do to console you.

Come out when you're done.

I'll wait outside.

Hey, are you okay?

You look like you might faint soon.

Wait here. I'll get you a cup of water.

Why? Where are you going?

I'm going to the bathroom. Do you want to come with me?

"Should I run away? Should I just hide?"

"Or should I pretend like nothing ever happened..."

"and stay by her side without ever saying anything?"

"Maybe it might be okay if I just kept it to myself forever."

I thought about what I should do again and again.

If I knew that I was responsible,

I would have never fallen in love with you.

If I found out before I started liking you this much,

it would've been much easier for me to leave.

It would've been easier for me to run away and cut you off.

But now,

I can't seem to leave you.

I can't imagine my life without you.

I love you too much now.

I was worried that you might've left all of a sudden.

I was scared that you might've disappeared as well.

I was more scared about not being able to...

see you anymore than about being hated by you.

I know I have no right. It's my fault.

Your time, your future, your life. I took them all away.

So I want to protect you until you're truly happy once again.

You can call me selfish and crazy.

I'll be by your side even if you resent me.

You can hate me and push me away all you want.

Still, I want to be with you.

So... Please...

Gong Woo Jin.

His name was...

Gong Woo Jin.

What if...

What if that's not all?

What if what you knew...

wasn't everything?

- Nice. - Nice.

- Nice. - Good.

Can you see?

It's him.

He's the crescendo I told you about.

President!

You're so good.

He must be the class president.

I wonder what his name is. I'm curious.

- Nice. - Nice.

Clumsy.

- What did you draw? - What?

- It's a crescendo. - Crescendo?

Yes. Crescendo.
