-Cheers. -Cheers!

2012 PUSAN KWANGAN HIGH SCHOOL REUNION, SEOUL

Of course, the pork gukbap , dude.

I can't do this anymore.

I'm going to have a cup of coffee and no one is going to stop me.

Get me an iced Americano, please!

Me too.

-Get me a cup! -Don't forget mine!

Say something if you heard us!

Watch her not get us any.

Can I get five iced Americanos

and a large caramel mocha, iced, please.

Would you like any whipped cream?

Yes. A lot, please.

All right.

So,

you are telling me that these are your wedding rings?

For what it's worth, it looks like it's at least a half karat.

They are not conventional. I think they're okay.

Mr. Yoon.

While we are on the subject,

how about you changing to these too?

I'm not religious.

These are so...

You two just guaranteed yourselves a free pass to nirvana, that's for sure.

Are you a monk?

It is still a platinum diamond ring.

You've got an expensive ring compared to most brides.

Also, Hak-chan's mom chose it herself, so it's meaningful too.

But still, how can I wear this around every day?

I know she is devout, but this is a bit too much.

Here.

Goodness.

Don't tell me this is your wedding ring.

I think I will just stick to our rings from before.

My ring!

Brilliant, just brilliant.

I am amazed that she didn't lose it.

But of course, you know what that ring means to her.

I've never seen her wear her wedding ring. She only wears that one.

She is all about what is most comfortable, remember?

Like her husband.

EPISODE 12

JANUARY 1999, PUSAN

When you receive her hand, you receive her heart.

That's what my brother always used to say.

Did you watch Super TV Campus Video Songs yesterday?

Of course. Wasn't Eugene on it?

They say her forehead's like 50 acres wide but she's still pretty without bangs.

No wonder boys go crazy over her.

She didn't seem all that pretty to me.

In my opinion, Hyo-ri is the prettiest, .

Ta-da! What do you think?

Girl, you are prettier than Hyo-ri.

Do you think so?

Yesterday, on the show,

they said when Eugene gets married, Bada and Shoo will make her wedding dress.

Can you imagine S.E.S getting married?

Don't be stupid, that will never happen.

Right?

Once a fairy, always a fairy.

Are you done choosing?

Yes, I want this one.

-Just this? -Yes.

Hey, please choose more!

Think of it as an early birthday gift from me.

Hey, isn't that Hak-chan?

When did Hak-chan become so comfortable talking to girls?

What I heard must be true, then.

I heard that Dan-ji was interested in Hak-chan.

I heard that too.

H.O.T. fans are really loyal, so I doubt she's making moves on him.

It's probably not true.

Anyway, Hak-chan only has eyes for you.

What do you...

Where did she go?

What?

What is the meaning of this?

Hak-chan wanted to talk to me about something.

Why?

Yes, she is right.

I needed to ask her for a favor so I asked her to meet up with me.

She's just helping me out, that's all.

Helping you with what?

What? Yes, it's something.

I will tell you later.

I'm leaving now.

I don't want to be part of your lover's quarrel.

Yes. So we are good for tomorrow. Bye.

Okay, thank you.

It's really nothing, don't worry about it.

I will call you later.

I told the guys I would meet up with them.

Bye!

Tony, I know it will be suffocating, but hold on for a bit, okay?

I'll see you again after I go up to Seoul.

People say, "Dreams come true,"

but I had no idea that I would actually go to Seoul.

This is all thanks to you, Tony.

I'll never forget it.

You look like a crazy girl talking to yourself like that.

Knock before you come in, please. I'm an adult now.

Adult my ass. Watching you, being a so-called adult, and your antics

is making me into a freaking saint, I hope you know.

If you're here to pick a fight with me, I'm busy.

Are you seriously packing all of this to take to Seoul with you?

Of course. These are all precious parts of my being.

I wouldn't dare to leave them at home in fear of the disaster that will occur.

Well, I suppose I owe that monkey a big one.

Since you did manage to get into college.

Just acknowledge him as your son-in-law already.

Goodness, can you be any cheaper?

You will give the powerful Seoul people a run for their money.

Of course! I'm the daughter of Dong-il Sung.

I fit in amazingly well anywhere because I take after you, Dad.

Do you even know how sad your parents are?

Are you that excited to leave?

What do you mean, who is excited?

Says the kid who started packing from a month ago!

You were just ready to leave, weren't you?

It's just because there are a lot of stuff to pack.

So you're going to take everything and never come back down again?

I never said that! Why would you say that?

This is why people say there's no point in raising children.

This is why they say once your children grow old, they become guests.

Don't say stuff like that, Dad.

Well, I'm going to cut you out of my life now.

I'm done. I have had enough.

This house is going to be so empty and lonely now.

It's bigger than I thought.

Why have I never noticed?

Goodness.

Goodness.

Anyway.

Such an ungrateful child.

Pack up all you want.

Si-won's birthday

Hey, this song is totally you.

Do you want to die?

Jerk.

When Yu-jung finds out she's going to fall over from shock.

Seriously, she's going to be so shocked.

But what can you do? It's not like you can

stay in Pusan with your boyfriend and make bungeoppang all your life.

You're the only one going to study abroad in this economic crisis.

Of course, it would have been nice

if you did end up going to the States.

But hey, Hawaii!

I'm sure it will be great. I'm jealous.

Besides,

like how they say, "If you fart often enough, you will poop."

She's said nothing, but "Let's break up,

let's end this,

and I'm through with you, it's over."

Well, her prayers have finally been answered.

Wishes do come true!

I knew you would get hit like that.

Tell Yu-jung already, stupid.

She thinks you are staying in Pusan.

-Do you have soju? -Goodness.

Don't pop the yolk.

I said, don't pop the yolk.

-Here we go. -Nice!

You're so lucky, Yoon-jae.

Jun-hee will be making you food like this every day.

Don't you get tired of each other?

Going to the same school, living in the same house.

Why would they?

He is the dad and he is the mom. They don't even bicker.

You'd better know how lucky you are.

Don't you dare think about ordering our poor Jun-hee around!

Si-won is perfect for someone like you.

She will beat you up like this and like this

and stab you with stuff like this a few times.

That's the only way you can stay minimally well-mannered.

Our poor Jun-hee got his work cut out for him living with this man.

Worry about yourself.

How can you even get 88 points on the test?

Were you commemorating the year 1988 Olympics?

Do you know what I went through trying to get that score?

One mistake and I could have got 86 points and made it to the 1986 Asian Games.

You don't understand students like me go through, all right?

Why don't you rub it until it disappears?

Just call her, dumbass!

Die.

Just do us a favor and die!

Si-won said she is going up to Seoul this weekend.

She's done packing already too.

Whatever. It doesn't matter to me.

Of course, she is in a hurry to leave.

She has to go see Tony, make him lunch,

and make sure to get in fights with the Sechs Kies fans.

If I had known following idols around

would get me into college, I would've followed Baby V.O.X around more.

You know I'm the first Mi-yeon Kan's fanboy in Pusan, right?

If we're talking about just looks,

Mi-yeon beats Yoo-jin, Hyo-ri and everyone else.

Si-won didn't get into college because she was an avid fan.

She's incomparable to someone who doesn't even know how to spell correctly.

She writes pretty well.

Then you...

You read about Woo-hyuk unzipping Tony's pants

and him taking it out and doing all that...

Did you read all that? Did you?

-Are you crazy? -You did, right?

-Are you freaking crazy? -Look at your face! You did!

You piece of...

Are you out of your mind?

Why are you all like this to me?

I got an 88 on the SATs

Happy faces, everyone. Let's eat.

Good work today. I'll see you tomorrow.

You're not going back to the office, right?

No. I got to go out with my friend tonight.

I'm glad you're dating her, to be honest.

She's better than any girl who pursues you

only for your money.

Are you already at this stage?

Take a look.

It's her birthday tomorrow

and I'm worried that it might be a bit too much.

Let's see here.

Goodness.

Do you think it's too much?

Yes, it is.

Isn't she still pretty young?

It might be overwhelming for her.

You think so?

I really want to give her a ring.

But you think it might be too much?

I don't want to make her feel burdened.

Then, why don't you just give her something simpler?

You know, like the matching rings campus couples wear nowadays.

Something that looks simple and cheaper.

I think that might be better.

No, I was about to go out anyway.

No, it's fine. I know you're tired from work.

Goodness.

No!

I will be waiting in front of your house. Okay.

Honey, why is there nothing to drink...

My goodness. Why are you packing already?

She is not leaving for another two days!

Just so I don't forget later.

You need so many things when you're living in Seoul.

Honey.

What is this?

What do you mean? It's ketchup, of course.

Like there's no ketchup in Seoul?

That's all money, you know.

This is ridiculous, you're going so overboard.

You will pay more for the taxi ride, I swear.

I don't know if she even knows how to make rice in the rice cooker.

She hasn't ever done her own laundry.

I put in three boxes worth of instant rice.

Would she need more?

She's still so young, our baby girl.

Only her body is all grown.

My goodness, I need her to be with me a little more before I'm ready.

I'm good at making rice, I won't starve.

Also, there are washers for laundry, you know.

I'm not even going that far away.

I'll come down once a month, so don't worry, okay?

By the way.

Where do you think you're going at this hour?

What?

I'm not going far. I'll be right back.

Who are you meeting?

Are you going to Yu-jung's?

No, just right here.

To Yoon-jae's! He wanted to see me.

Okay, go on!

-Okay. -Bye.

Don't be long!

You have to learn how to use the rice cooker and the washer.

Okay, I'll be back soon. Bye.

Hey, you don't have to do it. It's fine.

-I can do it tomorrow. -I'm almost done.

Is Tae-woong not coming home again today?

He said he'll be home early today.

He should be here soon.

Just leave it.

Let's go play some StarCraft.

You're coming to Si-won's birthday party tomorrow, right?

I don't know.

It's partly a farewell party too, you should come.

Hak-chan, you, me, everyone,

this is the last time we'll see each other before we leave.

Did you get her a gift?

What did you get her?

Nothing expensive.

Not that I'll give it to her.

Tae-woong!

-How long were you waiting here? -Me?

It's cold, I said I'll go to you.

It's fine, I just got here.

Let's go in, it's cold.

No, I have to get back soon anyway.

Is it?

Hold on, I have something for you.

It's bungeoppang .

Here. Go eat them with your parents.

Don't eat all of it by yourself.

I have something for you too.

Here. A gift for you.

A gift?

My birthday's still far away.

You always give me things, so I wanted to repay you.

Go on, open it. I bought it with my paycheck.

The first designer label that I bought!

You have to go to so many venues to receive awards.

Also, meet all the high-profile people.

I heard that when you wear a red tie, everything will go successfully.

Also, land great contracts!

Wear this and just make ten billion won.

Are you giving this to me with the full knowledge of what it means?

Yeah, I just told you. For everything to go successfully.

Is that not it? Is there another meaning?

No, you're right.

But that's the meaning of it when it's given to normal people.

But when it's a lover...

When you give a tie to your boyfriend

it means something slightly different.

Is it?

It looks good on you.

"I want you."

That's what it means.

Did you not know?

Don't be silly, that's not it! That's not what I meant at all!

I just wanted your business to succeed

and wanted to give you a good luck present! That's it.

I just like you wearing suits...

That's really not what I meant!

I'm serious. I really didn't mean it like that.

-Is that right? -Yes.

Then,

I'm sad now.

I...

I want it to mean that.

Be excited for your birthday gift tomorrow.

It will have a meaning just as deep as this tie

when it's presented by a lover.

What is it?

I'm sorry about what happened earlier today.

I really met up with Dan-ji for something else.

I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry.

What do you mean by something else?

What could you have possibly talk about with Dan-ji?

Later, I'll tell you everything later.

I'm saying I want to know now!

Why can't you tell me?

Isn't it because you're hiding something?

Why, did Dan-ji tell you to keep it a secret from me?

Why can't you just trust me?

Do you have to know everything all the time?

I told you it's nothing. She and I are absolutely nothing.

Goodness.

Are you getting mad at me right now?

What did I do wrong?

How could you yell at me like it's all my fault?

You've been acting really strange lately.

You won't pick up your phone, you've stopped smiling,

always distracted when I'm talking to you.

Do you not like me anymore? Is that it?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything.

What are you sorry for?

Why do you always apologize to me?

I just want to know!

I just want to know why you won't pick up your phone and why you met up with her!

I'm going to go study abroad.

My mom is making me.

She said I won't become anything if I stay here.

So I was going to rent out Dan-ji's restaurant for a night and confess to you.

It was so embarrassing, but I begged her.

I asked her to let me use the place just for an hour after they close.

I was going to tell you everything then, that I'm leaving next week,

but I really like you so could you please wait for me for a year.

That after a year, I'll make any excuse to come back to you.

I was going to tell you everything.

You couldn't wait a few more days? Do you really not know how I feel?

How can I?

You never tell me how you feel.

So how could I possibly know how you feel?

Si-won, are you sleeping?

Si-won.

My goodness.

She is still like a baby to me.

I don't know how she will survive

in the jungle of Seoul.

My little girl.

She has never washed a single pair of underwear in her life.

How will she live in Seoul?

What if she comes back down, saying she can't live in Seoul?

That's what I'm saying.

I can just see her crying about how hard it is up there.

What can we do?

If she had

met a dad from Seoul and was raised in Seoul,

she wouldn't have had to go through all this.

Let's go, she's sleeping.

All right, don't make any loud noises.

Goodness.

Goodness.

My goodness.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY A GIRL'S LOVE STORY

Congratulations.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear

- Si-won Sung - Si-won Sung

- Happy birthday to you! - Happy birthday to you!

Kwangan High School's...

No, Pusan's biggest fangirl, Si-won Sung! Happy birthday!

I didn't know you were born later than me. but you can still treat me casually.

Anyway, be healthy in Seoul.

Our new Seoul University students, Yoon-jae and Jun-hee, be safe.

Hak-chan, who's running away overseas, have a safe flight.

Also, be sure to take care of whatever that's happening between you two.

Also, just because you live in Seoul,

don't come back down here and speak with a Seoul accent.

Don't come down during break and say stuff like,

"Did you eat?" with a Seoul accent

or also, "Do you want some spaghetti?" with a greasy accent.

One word like that, I'll rip your mouths up.

Do you get it?

Anyway, for our last night together,

let's do a toast.

Don't raise it too high, people might see from outside.

For our last night together,

-Cheers! -Cheers.

I had already known

That your love that made you suffer

will come to an end like this

All together now!

At first, I wanted to do everything that I could

The day of our date had arrived and I wore my best outfit

And did my hair all nicely

-Yes. - And thought about what to say

- You're too perfect, there isn't any girl - You're too perfect, there isn't any girl

- Who will talk to you first... - Who will talk to you first...

- There's no woman who would do that... - I'm no exception

I'm no exception, either

Yes!

I'm so tired.

Hey, Yoon-jae, sing us a song.

Now that I think about it, I've never heard you sing.

Is that your only hidden weakness?

Even you can't be perfect, I suppose.

That kind of flaw makes you more human.

We won't say anything so sing anything you want.

I have something I have to say to you

To you, who have stayed by my side all this time

-I really hate that man. - I had to hide my heart away

And smile like nothing was wrong

In fear that you will see me broken

I pretended I was all right, that I was completely fine

Smiling for you while you were by my side

There were times when I was disappointed

When you became as weak as I

I didn't know he was good at singing songs like that.

He used to be a part of the Pusan KBS Children's Choir.

I thought you would embrace all my hurt

But it's all right

Hello?

Yes.

Yes. Okay.

Where are you going?

My sister is at the police station. I have to go.

Okay.

I'm all right

You can leave me

You had hid your tears while you were with me

And as I see you leave me

I will wait for you the same way you did for me

Until one day, you are by my side again

So please come back to me

I will wait for you until forever

Aren't you giving me my birthday present?

I thought I told you already.

On my birthday last year.

JANUARY 30TH, 1998

What is this?

Your birthday present. Read through them. I'll do everything on there.

Is this the "Together" series?

"Be together, eat tteokbokki together,"

Wait.

This...

Is this for me or for you?

It's for us.

Whatever.

I'll do one of them today.

Want to go watch a movie?

No. Also, do you think I'm still a child?

How is this present-worthy at our age?

What? You gave me coupons for my birthday last year!

No, for the past ten years!

A woman changes day by day.

How is this suitable for an 18-year-old?

Then do you have a present you want to receive in mind?

Yes, of course.

But not from you.

I won't mind getting from anyone but you.

What is it?

A ring.

Go spread the news.

If there's anyone that likes Si-won,

that they should give me a ring next year.

Okay? I want a ring.

-Okay. -A ring.

You forgot, right? I've been saying it since last year.

Stupid.

Get it from my brother.

You said so yourself.

You wanted it from anyone but me.

You're really cruel, you know that?

How could you ask me to give you that?

Why?

I'm stupid so I can't work it out.

Explain it to me.

I like you.

I like you so much.

I was with you since birth.

I saw you every single day since.

I even remember the day you got your first period.

But you were still a woman to me.

On our first day of high school,

I thought you were pretty for the first time in my life.

From then on, I made myself pretty obvious around you.

That I liked you.

Hoping you would like me back.

But you never knew.

I wasn't surprised.

We were friends for so long, you might not have noticed.

So I thought I should confess.

So I asked you to meet me on the day of the SATs.

I told you to meet me at the school PE field at 8 p.m.

That it was my D-Day.

But my brother confessed to you ten minutes before me.

He said to you

that he liked you.

What should I do?

There are two people

that I love the most in this world.

One is my brother,

who gave up everything for me.

Also, the other person is you.

You!

But Tae-woong likes you.

He really likes you.

Just the way I like you.

What should I do?

What do you think I should do?

What should I do?

Why aren't you singing?

We only have a minute left.

I know the best wrap-up song.

What should I do? What do you want me to do?

Did I ask you to do something for me?

Can you even do anything for me?

Then what? What is it?

Why are you being like this? What do you want from me?

I...

I just wanted to know.

Did you think I wouldn't understand you going overseas?

What? Did you think I'll beg you not to leave me?

Or lock myself up in my room and cry every day?

Is that why I'm the only one who didn't know about this?

Yoon-jae, Jun-hee, and even Seong-jae knew!

What do I want from you?

The things you tell your friends.

Share them with me too!

Can I get some tape, please?

Yoon-jae.

Can't we

just be friends, like before?

Like you said,

we've been together since birth.

I'm a bit stupid.

You know, right?

But I know

that you're my most precious friend.

So...

Will you still be friends with me?

When a man

tells the girl he has a crush on

about every single feeling

he has been holding in,

he is willing to risk never seeing her again.

You throw them away.

Friends?

Bullshit.

-You're late. -Tae-woong.

You should've called.

I was playing Go with your dad and just came out to leave.

You let him win on purpose again, right?

How did you know? You're so sharp.

Goodness.

Happy birthday, Si-won.

The keys for your house in Seoul, I chose them for you.

You didn't know, did you?

It's a digital lock so you just have to press the key code to get in.

Also, that's your room key.

Of course, that's not your birthday present.

Look at the thing hanging under it.

That's my present.

But don't feel pressured. Just think of it as a keychain.

Tae-woong.

I have to tell you something.

How could you be so heartless?

Can't you even be that understanding?

Can't you see my heart wasting away? How could you be like this to me?

I'm telling you, this desk is a perfect size!

Do it out on the balcony!

Why do you have to practice putting in the room?

Putting?

Putting is the most important thing in golf!

Also, why do you have to dry the peppers here?

I told you, this room gets the most sunlight!

Then, take this bed out and dry the peppers here!

Then what about when Si-won comes home?

Where will she sleep?

She's not even going to stay for long.

Just put out some blankets in the living room!

We have thick, soft covers!

Pile some together and it's better than a bed!

I cannot believe you!

You can't.

Dad!

What? Should I pack my things and leave now?

Just like that. Yes.

-Go. -All right.

It looks perfect there, see?

Goodness.

Here, eat it on the way.

Go back inside.

Go back inside, I can't leave if you are like this.

I'll come right back down.

What's your platform number?

I'll be fine, Mom.

Don't cry, why are you crying?

I'll call you as soon as I get there.

Don't cry.

Stop it. I'm not going off to die.

I'll be going now. Stop crying.

Here.

Be sure to call as soon as you arrive in Seoul.

Okay. Go on. The bus is leaving soon.

What are you doing? Put your seatbelt on.

Also, when the bus stops at a rest stop, don't fumble about

and just pee and get back on the bus.

-Okay. -Also, the bag.

There's kimbap and water inside, so eat it on the way.

Okay, I will. Go.

Wait, your legs look uncomfortable. Here.

Also, be sure

to take everything with you when you get off.

I will.

All right. I'll go now.

Go on.

I'll call you.

The reason why the teenagers are so stubborn

is because we do not yet know the answers.

Answers to questions like, what do I really want?

Who really loves me?

Who do I really love?

In order to search for the answers

we go through endless trial and error.

Also, at the final moment,

when you have miraculously figured out the answer to everything,

we had already become adults, going through all sorts of farewells.

So that winter

the world was full of breakups and goodbyes.

The end of the world, as predicted by Nostradamus, did not come.

But to fans, that might have been better.

Sechs Kies suddenly announced their disbandment

and furious fans burned up innocent Young-gu Jo's car.

In 2001, H.O.T also announced their disbandment.

My world came crashing down.

A plane crashed in the middle of New York City.

Incheon International Airport opened

and Korea advanced into the World Cup semifinals.

Moo-hyun Roh was elected as the 16th president of Korea.

Typhoon Maemi hit the Korean peninsula by force.

It became possible to travel from Seoul to Pusan

in two hours via KTX.

Like so, the 21st century began

and our 90s disappeared into the past.

So I thought

that was the end to my 90s as well.

PUSAN TO SEOUL

IN 2005, SEOUL

Si-won.

Where did she disappear to now?

Si-won Sung!

Get ready to film!

Get the scripts for the cast!

-You little... -I'm sorry.

Si-won.

When you're putting the mic on him

-just go over the rules briefly again. -Okay.

Tony just got summoned here

so he probably isn't hyped up yet.

What are you doing? Go on. Do you want me to go with you?

Goodness, what's wrong? Are you okay?

Hey, you all right?

I didn't forget everything,

but I had set it aside for quite some time.

Like this, my body

remembered the 90s better than my heart.

The moment I met the man who i was crazy about,

I instantaneously became the fan I was back in 1997.

Also, the 90s that I had thought ended,

had begun again.

Can I get five iced Americanos, please?

Actually, give me a second.

Next customer, please.

-A large caramel mocha, please. -Okay.

-With whipped cream? -A lot, please.

Thank you, good day.

Professor Yoon, do you want to have a cup of coffee with us?

I'm broke so I sold all of my shares.

We're not here to mooch off of you.

We knew you were going to say that,

so we bought some.

So just 30 minutes of your time, please?

Which one do you want? There's iced Americano, iced latte,

kiwi juice and iced caramel mocha.

There's a large variety for you to choose from

I'll take this one.

Just 30 minutes, no more.

-Really? -Really?

That's really sweet, though.

It's fine, I like sweet things.

Let's go.
