Hey Joon Hee.

No, I can't go.

You know I never go to alumni meetings.

They would just ask for favors. I would feel bad refusing them.

Let them talk behind my back. It happens all the time.

Mr. Yoon, is your case already over?

I'll call you later.

Hello.

Where are you going?

Say hello. This is my colleague Kim Dae Ho.

He's also a public lawyer.

Hello. I'm Yoon Yoon Jae.

He was my junior in college.

He was recently appointed as a judge at the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office.

I know him. Who doesn't? How is your brother?

- He's good. - How do you know his brother?

Isn't his brother Yoon Tae Woong? You didn't know that?

Really?

Why didn't you tell me?

I thought you knew.

Why did your brother donate his stocks?

If he hadn't done that, you wouldn't need to be here!

What do you mean? They say he left his company not to burden his brother.

Anyway, you two are incredible.

You know everything about me.

Judges tend to be transparent under public scrutiny.

If you haven't had lunch yet, why don't we eat together?

I'll treat you.

I'm sorry. I have somewhere to go.

Please treat me next time.

Are you ignoring me because I'm a public lawyer?

No, I'm sympathizing. You don't get paid very much.

Use that money on your child instead.

I'll see you later.

And I don't eat with lawyers. Just buy me coffee later.

Judges are under public scrutiny, after all.

He's not a bit flexible. He never comes to alumni meetings.

That's how he achieved his status. But he's pretty cool.

I just need to renew my driver's license.

Can you cook today? I want to eat at home.

- I'm sorry. - Whatever.

Okay. See you at home.

Don't put bracken in it. I don't eat that.

Okay.

My brother didn't give me a share of his stocks.

I've never even seen them.

The only things my brother gave me are my apartment...

and this beat-up old Onata.

Six years ago, he achieved immense success with I Like School.

Last year, he succeeded at changing his life once again.

This is like a personal little website.

People can decorate their own page.

They can change colors, buy songs, and display a little avatar.

What kind of money would they use?

Cyber money that can only be used on this website!

Acorns!

The 'Cyland' he developed spread quickly among the younger generation.

And soon everyone had their own personal page.

Thanks to its huge popularity, he became very rich.

But he chose to go for another challenge and moved on.

At the beginning of the year, he donated all of his money...

and started working as a professor at my college.

He was not the only one to have a fresh start.

We also went through many changes in the last six years.

Hak Chan, who promised to come back in a year...

occasionally sent e-mails saying that he was studying film.

Sung Jae started working as a public service worker in the countryside.

A long time passed...

Yoo Jung finally moved to Seoul.

She discovered her talent as a kindergarten teacher.

My roommate Joon Hee, who was once afraid of blood...

is now a first-year intern.

And finally, Shi Won...

I don't know about her.

I don't know what she's doing now.

It didn't take long.

I stopped for some coffee. It started raining.

I've avoided her for the last six years.

Now I don't even wonder how she's doing.

Just a moment.

Until I ran into her today...

Next in line.

A large iced caramel mocha please.

- Would you like whipped cream? -Yes, a lot.

- Would you like whipped cream? -Yes, a lot.

Yoon Yoon Jae.

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

How have you been?

Good... I've been good.

What about you?

Same.

What are you doing here?

I had something to do in the area.

Nice Seoul accent.

You still speak in dialect.

I wanted to keep it.

By the way, do you have a girlfriend?

Yes, I do.

Really? Did you meet her in college?

No, from the Judicial Research and Training Institute.

It hasn't been long.

Hey Joon Hee. Are you free?

Does Yoon Jae have a girlfriend?

He never picks up my calls.

Okay. Thank you.

You know, friend.

Like a boy friend and a girl friend.

I'm sure you have those kinds of friends too.

Friends?

Friends?

Are you kidding me?

I didn't attend alumni meetings because of you.

I went home the day before Thanksgiving.

I made up so many ridiculous excuses not to go home on New Year's.

You made it all for nothing in one shot.

You're unbelievable, Sung Shi Won.

Back to 1996, to our first day of high school.

Back to 1997, to the fountain where we shared our first kiss.

Back to 1998, to the night I cried and yelled like a madman.

Back to that winter.

I was reset to the Yoon Yoon Jae of the 90s.

How did she think to call you?

I accidentally said that I had a girlfriend.

How could she...

Is it obvious when I lie? I live off my poker face!

It's because she's a writer. She's so creative.

And you! How could you tell her that I didn't have one?

Don't you have that? That sense?

Couldn't you guess the circumstances?

Are you dumb?

How did you become a judge?

I told her that you had a girlfriend.

Really?

I told her I thought you were seeing someone these days.

I used my judgment.

Are you stupid?

You just felt guilty.

Go die.

I'll die.

I'll die.

How should I die?

Die! Just die! Why do I live? Just die!

Hello?

Are we eating out?

Get dressed.

Yoo Jung's dad passed away.

Episode 13 Next Time... No, Now

- Goodbye. - Thank you.

Thank you! Take care.

Mister, you're already screwed. Just cover up with that card.

What are you doing with those two cards?

Don't keep them. It'd be better to throw them away.

Finish up and go home.

Let's go, let's go.

Have some of this. You still have two more days left.

You need to keep your strength up. Your mother needs you too.

Your father must have been a good man. Over a thousand people visited today.

Let's eat together.

I'm okay.

No, let's eat with them.

You could have come tomorrow but you're all so impatient.

It's been a while since I've seen you two together like this.

I was going to come tomorrow since it's so late now.

But I wanted to come and see you.

Thanks to Yoo Jung's dad, we get to see each other again.

I wish Hak Chan was here too.

I don't mind. It was a long time ago.

See? It's fine. It's been a while.

I texted Hak Chan too, but I don't know if it reached Hawaii.

Had your father been ill?

You traitor, stop using a Seoul accent. It sounds weird.

Why are you pointing me out?

What about Joon Hee and Yoo Jung?

- Yours is the most natural. - You little...

But Yoon Jae, you adapted quickly.

So did Joon Hee.

It was difficult for me.

You aren't even going to try?

You don't know what college was like.

Hey everyone. I'm from Busan.

- I'm from Yangsan. - Gimhae.

- Geochang. - Geoje.

Masan.

Hapcheon.

Nice to meet you all. Cheers!

Cheers!

How would I have learned the Seoul accent in that environment?

You haven't been in Busan in a while.

Your parents will be waiting. You should go.

All of you must be tired.

After you eat. They can wait, so eat something.

Be nice to your parents while you can.

Don't regret it like me.

You too.

Yoo Jung, you've grown up.

Your father is doing so much for you even now.

I was too busy getting used to working Seoul.

I didn't come home for over a year.

Whenever my parents called, I was so eager to hang up.

When they asked about work, I would just get annoyed.

All I said was, 'I don't know.' 'I'll tell you later.' 'Next time.'

And I just hung up.

I didn't even know that my dad was sick.

He must have been so curious.

Was I eating well? Was I keeping healthy?

Were my coworkers nice to me?

Were people looking down on me for graduating from community college?

He would have had a lot of questions...

I don't know why I thought it was so annoying.

Do you know what he said before he passed away?

He couldn't even breathe well...

But he told me to go.

He said he was fine so I should go back to work.

I should go back to work.

He was afraid I would get fired...

How could he say that...

Yoo Jung's father must have loved her very much.

I feel so sorry for her.

I thought my dad was special...

but I guess that's how all dads think about their daughters.

It's going to be hard for her.

I envy her for having those memories.

To have fought with him, or regret anything...

Or even just to have talked to him.

Yoo Jung has done everything.

I haven't.

I don't have any memories.

Mom... Dad...

Missing them is the only memory I have.

Sung Jae's here.

Joon Hee, get in. I'll drop you off on the way.

I would appreciate it!

Take your time, you two. Don't fight!

You're friends, after all.

- Bye. - See you later.

You smoke?

What, you think I'm still 18?

Stop messing around and call a cab.

It takes a while.

We don't need to.

I'll smoke one cigarette before the car comes. Give it back!

What? What car?

Did you call my dad?

No, of course not! He offered to come after the game today...

Do you know how late it is?

I told him not to come!

Hey! Shi Won, Yoon Jae! Get in!

We won the game today!

Be quick in there!

Did you get a new car?

Hey, daughter of mine. Can you still call yourself my daughter?

Yoon Jae bought the car for me with his first salary!

Hurry up and get in.

What is this smell? Did you drink?

I thought you had cancer!

Didn't you know that I've completely recovered?

I had one cup of beer because I won today!

I've only had one drink but my face is already bright red.

It's a bit chilly too.

You know you can't mess around with your health!

Please behave!

What did you just say to me?

I'm your dad! Is this for me?

Yoon Jae, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?

No, I'm taking a day off.

It's been a while so I'm going to rest at home.

What if people look down on you for taking a day off in your first year?

Don't worry. You know I'm a public officer.

There isn't anyone who bothers you at work?

No, there isn't.

That's good to hear... but Yoon Jae.

You know how much Shi Won's mom worries about you.

Even if someone is mean to you...

don't be bothered by it.

Okay. I won't.

But don't worry. I'm doing well.

Is there a switch in your mouth?

How are you using both accents so well?

You know I'm smarter than you.

I think it's your phone.

It's probably Joon Hee. He thinks we're taking a cab.

Give me my phone. Hurry! Before he hangs up!

Is this your phone?

Is this a new type of phone?

Are you crazy? How dare you smoke!

This is your last night alive! What happened to you?

That's not mine!

If it's not yours, then whose is it? It came from your pocket!

It's Yoon Jae's! It's not mine!

I'm going to cut your hair and I'll lock you up!

It's Yoon Jae's! What are you doing? Tell him!

- It's mine. It's mine. - What did you say?

It's mine.

You two are in cahoots!

I almost fell for it!

I told you to take care of Shi Won in Seoul!

And now you're defending her like this?

We're at a funeral home right now, that's perfect.

I'm going to kill you two here! Come here! Come here!

Father! Father!

Let's take a break.

- I told you, that's mine... - Come here!

Dad, I said it's not mine!

Okay, then it's mine, you crazy girl.

What happened? What are you doing?

Honey, she's gone crazy. She smokes!

- Stop, let's go! - Come here!

You are such a troublemaker!

Go ahead and smoke in front of your dad! Do it!

I told you it's not mine! Believe me!

She's right, it's mine!

Why can't I turn right here... how annoying...

Sung Jae!

There's a cultivator stuck at a farm!

Sung Jae.

A woman left the pot boiling.

Sung Jae!

Someone's water broke! Go help her!

Are you okay?

Okay? Do you think I'm okay?

Please don't do this!

If I die, can I be buried at the national cemetery?

What are you talking about?

No. Never mind...

Young man. Young man!

The lights are off at my house!

Today's duty is over. Please come back tomorrow.

It won't take long. Please, just change the bulb.

Ma'am, I'm sorry. I'm tired to death right now.

I'll do it later. Come back tomorrow.

You made up some great questions.

You could be a screenwriter too. Do you want to work with me?

A junior-level writer has to write this kind of stuff too?

No, this is just a part-time job. Ten dollars a question.

Questions for level ten are more expensive.

I got this from my senior, and now I'm giving it to you.

You know nothing's free in life.

What do you want? I don't have money.

Just cook me ramen. With a fried egg like last time.

- Right now? - Yes.

- Is that you? - Yes. Open the door!

You must be crazy. Isn't it too late to visit a woman?

You bought that for yourself, didn't you!

No, I got it from my assistant.

I didn't think I could eat it all so I brought it here.

Are you boiling water?

I forgot.

Does your assistant like you? I think she's hitting on you.

Is that what it means to get cake?

Not always.

But giving cake to a man who likes sweets means something.

Is she pretty?

Not as pretty as you.

Stop saying that. People will misunderstand.

What would they misunderstand?

If you visit me this late at night, people will look at me oddly.

Are you going to take responsibility?

Of course I will! That's my dream!

Stop! Stop! You've gotten so weird.

- What do you mean? - So weird.

- I am not! - You used to be so innocent.

- It's all because of you! - What about me?

I have to remind you that I still like you.

If you don't like it when I joke about it...

then can I say it directly?

The water is boiling.

You're my Daddy Long Legs.

You're always there for me. You're always kind.

You were six years ago and you are now.

January 1999, Busan

I don't want to burden you. Just think of it as a key chain.

Tae Woong.

I have something to tell you...

I like you... a lot...

But you don't make my heart pound.

Maybe I'm too young to know how love feels...

But I think my heart is beating for someone else.

I'm sorry.

I don't expect anything from you now.

I'll just wait for you.

I'll be your Daddy Long Legs...

until your heart starts to beat for me.

Like right now. I'll always...

be at your side.

Am I still your Daddy Long Legs?

Do you know how that movie ends?

Sung Jae, Kim Hae Yeon is coming to town today.

Do you want to go?

- You can drive me there. - Really?

I'll get you there safely! I'll go get the car!

Young man, please change just one light bulb for me.

I can't even cook.

I'm pretty busy today...

I'll go later. Tomorrow! I promise! Look out for me tomorrow!

I know you're not sleeping. Come outside.

Are you okay?

I can see that he hasn't aged a bit.

Are you okay?

In Busan dialect!

Are you okay?

I'm used to it by now.

You must have been surprised.

A little. I was thankful too.

Thankful for what?

If I say that I don't have parents, people always try to be nice to me.

Even when I do something wrong, they say it's okay and try to comfort me.

Teachers, seniors, relatives... everyone.

I know they're being nice, but I don't like it.

I don't like that they make an effort to be nice...

and I hate when they look at me full of pity.

I usually don't think of myself as an orphan.

But they remind me that I'm pathetic and deserve sympathy.

That I was left in this world with just my brother.

But thanks to your parents, I can forget these feelings.

Only your parents scold me.

So I'm grateful to them the most.

And appreciate them the most.

You make me feel like a bad daughter.

You're no help at all.

That's why I left.

Then why did you come back?

Good question.

What about now?

Do you...

Do you still like me?

Later...

I'll tell you later.

Good night.

Grandma!

You're here so early! Did you have breakfast?

Of course. Do you have time today?

Of course! I freed up all of my time for you. Let's go!

- Are we there yet? - We're almost there.

- Do we get off at the last stop? - Yes.

Going to Busan twice is so hard.

We should have taken the bus.

Your mom will give us a lot of things to take back.

It's better to drive there.

Where is Joon Hee?

There he is.

It looks like I can't go.

What?

I'm sorry. Take good care of Yoo Jung.

The air is so fresh here! That's why your skin looks so good!

Where is your house? Let's go!

It's so nice here...

The water is so pretty.

Look, there's a frog.

- Get in! - Okay...

I don't want to ride this car!

It runs fine.

And there won't be a toll at this hour.

You and your brother are so peculiar.

You had enough money to buy my dad a new car...

but you couldn't buy yourself one?

Do you have to pretend that you live righteously as a judge?

My brother said he would never sell this car.

Because it holds a lot of memories with you.

Do you want to listen to music?

Aren't you tired? Shall we take a short rest?

Did you walk all this way just to change the light bulb?

You're quite brave.

How did you walk all this way alone?

There's no other option. No one lives near me.

What about your children?

Did your husband pass away?

My husband passed away over ten years ago.

My daughter lives in Jinju, but I couldn't afford to educate her.

She's having enough trouble trying to get by herself.

But doesn't she visit you?

Why would she?

I haven't done anything for her as a parent.

I'm afraid to see her...

Don't say that. She's blessed to still have a parent.

She wouldn't think so.

I'm just a big burden on my children.

What do you mean? Why would you be a burden?

I'm even giving you a hard time right now.

That's not true. Not at all.

Weren't you supposed to go to Busan?

You're off duty today.

Something came up.

Have you found a roommate yet?

No, not yet.

Why, are you interested? That'd be great for me!

If you are, tell me right away!

Joon Ho already asked if I had a room.

But I'd rather live with animals.

- When should I let you know? - Right now! No later!

This is it.

I prefer K2, but this song is decent too.

Do you want me to raise the volume?

Why, you don't like it?

Do you still think H.O.T is the best?

Grow up! They disbanded. Why do you still like them?

Do you want me to play an H.O.T. song?

Yoon Jae.

What? Do you need to go to the bathroom?

Answer me now.

Do you still like me?

I said, do you still like me?

What about you?

Why are you asking this?

Do you like me?

Yes.

I like you.

Not as a friend, but as a man.

I like you.

I answered.

What about you?

Do you still like me?

Answer me. Now.

I had forgotten.

She was always upfront about her feelings.

I could have just said it.

I like you. Be mine.

Instead of saying this right then...

Then, as now, I could only hesitate.

Thank you.

There is no better time than now.

That next time may never come.

To talk about a next time that may never come...

when now is right in front of you...

Life is too short for that.

If you give up now because you feel too weak or lazy

there is no hope for a next time.

If you love her, the best time to love is now.

Approach her before it's too late.

You must confess now.

You never know what will happen in the future.

Your next chance may never come.

- Who is it? - You have a delivery.

Let's see...

[Daddy Long Legs]

2005 Seoul Central District Court

[Judge Yoon Yoon Jae]

[Let's have dinner later. Don't ignore me.]

[Remember this number. - Shi Won]

[I'm busy! I can't go!]

[Message sent]

I like you.

Not as a friend, but as a man.

I like you.

Wouldn't it be better to tell Yoon Jae?

If he knows, it'll get messy.

It's just a simple surgery. Just let it pass.

We still need a guardian. Even if it's just the intestine...

it's still big enough for us to have to take out.

You won't be able to eat right away. It will be better to have someone...

Hey, I'm here.

She's here. My guardian.

Hey, but this could be pretty expensive.

He must still have lots of money.

- I think you'll have to do it this time. - Are you sick?

Yeah. I got it because of the air conditioner.

Say ah.

Close up. What kind of girl...

Looks like it. You're sick. Did you have medicine?

I had some, but it doesn't help.

What should I do? What if I get you sick?

I seem pretty sick this time.

What do you mean? You have to take care of me forever.

Hey, hurry up. Let's go. My life is over if I get him sick.

Let's just go out and eat.

What are you doing here?

Don't you have work to do?

I just came to say hi. I'm leaving now.

I'll be going then. Even if you're hungry, just hold out for five days.

Hey, but when are you coming?

I already have a room ready.

- Isn't it cool? - Yeah.

- Is that a chair? - Yes. Our hospital's chair of truth.

I think I get what this chair's about.

Really? What's that?

When my dad got surgery, my mom cried a lot on the stairs.

Oh. You're smart.

Hey, but what's this?

People sitting here run upstairs when they hear someone coming.

So before you cry, it's warning you to make sure people aren't coming.

Oh, that's a good idea.

Well, there is no place quite like a hospital.

In some ways, places like this are more comforting.

At first I thought only the patients and their guardians came here

but nurses come here and so do interns like me.

A lot of people use it.

Your feelings calm down if you sit here.

Yeah. So...

I wonder if my feelings will come down.

Joon Hee.

I know.

I know you like Yoon Jae. I know.

I knew before you did.

Yoon Jae likes you too.

But you...

You like Yoon Jae too.

I need to get over my first love.

Living with him ruined a lot of my fantasies.

He didn't lift a finger.

But Yoon Jae will be upset to hear that you're moving out.

Have you thought about what you'll say to him?

Who knows? I'm still thinking of ideas.

I'm sorry, Joon Hee.

It was probably difficult for you too.

I only thought of myself.

You told me everything because you trusted me as a friend.

I don't know what I'm doing to you.

I'm sorry Joon Hee.

Why are you sorry?

It's not like you can choose what you feel.

I'm fine with both you and Yoon Jae just being my friends.

I have to go. Wait here. I'll get you some medicine for your cold.

- Just wait here. - No. Let's go together.

While I'm here, I should get some coffee with Yoon Jae.

This is really strong, so take it with food.

- Thanks, I'll go. - Bye.
