Let's stop.

We can't be late.

We still have time.

Somebody might see us.

I already locked the door.

No one will see us.

(Mom, Slide to answer)

Hello, Mom.

I'm in the washroom.

I came to get Gott.

Yes, I'll be right there.

Welcome. Hello.

Thank you for coming.

Please stand on this side.

Stand closer.

One step to the right. Great.

Is this okay now?

Yes, get ready. One, two...

- Okay. - Thank you so much.

Thank you. Head that way.

Write down your blessing.

There you are, Guy.

- Where have you been? - I was in the washroom.

Help me welcome the guests.

Honey, where have you been?

I went to freshen up.

I need to look my best

standing next to you.

You are handsome the way you are.

Come on, let's take photos together.

Closer.

Guy, take photos with us.

Come on.

Come.

Ready?

One, two, three.

Come stand here.

Let's try it this way.

Aoy and Chod,

I'm betraying the woman I love most,

my mother.

I feel terrible.

But I'm only human after all.

I can't stop myself

even though I know it's wrong.

(1 year ago)

Here's your iced latte.

- Thank you. - No problem.

Can you concentrate here?

- Are you sure? - Yes.

I'll be over there discussing work with Gott.

All right then.

- Gott, hello. - Rin, hello.

- Take a seat. - Thanks.

- This is for you. - Thank you.

They will bring mine shortly.

Gott.

Thank you very much for your help.

My vitamin water business

generated significant revenue during its launch.

Come on.

You have experience working in a large company.

It's different when it's your own company.

Believe it or not, I was so stressed in the beginning.

After developing the formula,

I had to contact the factory and handle other steps on my own.

Thank you.

By the way,

I brought you flowers.

Thank you.

Do you not like the flowers?

Well.

It's not that. I love them.

It's just that my son is watching.

Is your son here to guard

his beautiful mother?

No, he's not.

He's studying to keep me company.

Do you think he might mistakenly assume that I'm hitting on you?

The truth is I'm here to congratulate you

on surpassing your sales target.

I also want to thank you for giving a small and struggling company

the opportunity to work

on such a significant project

and for allowing me to learn from you.

- Thank you too. - My pleasure.

Why don't we talk about our next project?

That sounds great.

Although we currently have a strong marketing strategy

based on insights from the previous product,

I believe some adjustments are necessary

even with the similar target market.

There's quite a big difference in our products.

That's why I did some research.

Does Guy usually join you on your runs?

He feels that playing soccer provides him with enough exercise.

What about you?

Do you have free time now? Is that why you asked me to go for a run?

I’d be running with or without you.

It's great to meet a new friend who loves running too.

I get it now.

You infused your personality into the product

because of your love for exercise.

I have more to offer.

After our meeting the other day,

I came up with ideas for many products.

Really?

I've been doing so much research

that I've lost sleep.

Really?

You are amazing.

My dream is for my products to better everyone's health.

What about you? Are you looking for someone to take care of you?

Gott, I can still take care of myself.

Wait.

Rin?

Are you okay?

Rin.

How are you feeling?

Well.

I feel dizzy.

But I'm better now.

This has never happened to me.

It's probably due to the lack of sleep.

You’ve been pushing yourself hard with all the research.

Make sure you get enough rest.

Thank you.

Are you sure you can drive?

I can give you a ride.

It's fine. I'm much better now. I can drive home.

You can call me anytime.

I bought you

some food.

Congee is good for an empty stomach.

This is from my favorite restaurant. It’s delicious.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Drive safely.

Text me when you get home so I don't get worried.

I will.

Thank you so much.

- Sure. - See you later then.

Mom, what if you collapsed?

I wasn't there with you.

I'm sorry.

You were too careless.

You stay up late, don’t get enough rest, and skip meals.

I know.

Luckily, Gott was there with me today.

He came to my rescue.

You went for a run alone with him?

Yes.

Did he ask you out?

The park was near his office.

We had talked many times before about how much we loved running.

So he invited me to join.

He must be hitting on you.

I saw how he brought you flowers at the coffee shop.

I guess so.

How do you feel about him?

Make sure

you get enough rest.

From what I've seen,

he seems like a good guy.

Much better than many men in my past.

Would you be okay

if I gave him a chance?

I will turn him down if you are not okay with it.

I understand

it's just been us up until now.

You might not feel comfortable having another person in our lives.

You're right.

At first, I was worried about you.

But after thinking about it,

I think you should give him a chance

if it makes you happy.

I don't know what kind of person he is,

but I don't want to judge him before getting to know him.

How about this? You can get to know him

while he and I take things slow.

We will find out what he's like together.

Although I wanted my mother to be happy,

I admitted that I was afraid Gott would take her love

away from me.

I didn’t know how my life would change.

Stir-fried water spinach with crispy pork is your favorite, right?

I remember your mother mentioning it.

I'll get you some.

- Eat up. - Thank you.

And for you, I know that you love fish with chili.

How did you know?

When we had dinner after work the other day,

you ordered fish with chili

and said it was delicious.

Most importantly,

you polished off your plate.

Yes, I did.

Their fish with chili was to die for.

It's a shame you had school and couldn't join us.

He passed the ball to David Luiz.

David Luiz dodged Rati.

What's going to happen? It was a curvy kick.

Guy, do you watch soccer?

Yes.

Me too.

I root for Thunder though.

I don't like Arctic.

They tend to stall during the second half.

They are no match for Thunder.

Those guys charge aggressively throughout the game.

It's more entertaining

to watch college soccer matches than those slowpokes from Arctic.

Listen.

Give me the bowl. I'll get you some Tom Yum.

It's delicious.

- Try it. - Thanks.

Have some fish with chili.

(Arctic)

Do you want more?

What's with the frown? What's wrong?

I got pissed talking to someone.

- Really? - Whatever.

- What? - I'm exhausted.

Hold on. This makes us look like a couple.

What's wrong? I can't hug you unless we are dating?

We shouldn't.

Someone might see us and take it the wrong way.

Go warm up. I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

I need to grab my new friend. I invited him to come.

I'll introduce him to you.

- Long time no see. - Long time no see.

- How have you been? - Good. How are you?

I've been well.

Do you feel healthier now?

I decided to take better care of myself after I fainted that day.

It was worrying.

That's good to hear.

I wish I had the chance to officially take care of you.

What are you trying to say?

Have you been using exercise as an excuse to hang out with me?

I'm onto you.

No.

I really wanted to discuss work with you.

But as I got to know you better,

I became impressed by your talents.

Would you mind

if I wanted us to get to know each other better?

Why don't we go on a trip together sometime?

Do you have a destination in mind?

I...

Gott, something is bothering me.

- Yes. - The day we had dinner together,

you hurt Guy’s feelings with your comment about soccer.

What do you mean?

Guy is a fan of Arctic.

He's a huge fan.

I don't know why he's so obsessed with them.

But since you love soccer,

you might know how he feels.

I didn't mean to hurt his feelings.

I know.

It might not be a big deal for us adults.

But it's different for a teenager like him.

Look.

If Guy doesn't like you,

I'm afraid...

I...

I understand.

You do, don't you?

It's my fault for not thinking twice before talking.

But don't worry.

I'll find a way to talk to him the next time we meet.

Do your best.

I will.

Hold on. Why are you acting jealous?

We aren't dating.

When did you start liking Kay?

A while back.

Since the day you invited him to soccer?

No, it must've been before that.

Or you wouldn't have invited him.

Guy, we are not a couple.

Then what about that night? How did it happen?

Things happen. It's normal.

But I think it wouldn't work out if we dated.

Why did you pretend like nothing happened?

Why didn't you tell me?

I was afraid to.

You were afraid to tell the truth,

but you had the guts to introduce me to your new lover?

Fine.

I refuse to be on the same team as you.

I might accidentally kick the ball in your face.

How's it going, Guy?

Gott, hello.

Are you leaving already? You should stay.

Which field are you playing at?

This one.

Are you on the same team as those guys?

No, I'm their opponent.

I'll be on your team.

That's great. Let's go.

Guy.

Hey.

Guy.

Let's take a break.

Does anyone have the spray?

Where does it hurt?

Your knee?

Don't massage it.

It will get better with time.

Thank you.

Can you get up?

Slowly. Come on.

Let's go.

How are you feeling?

Sit here for a while

until you feel better.

Thank you so much for your help.

That final shot you scored just before the whistle was incredible.

You left them speechless.

Did you fight with your friend?

I could sense your anger before the match.

You could say that.

By the way, how did you end up here?

I sometimes come here to play soccer.

Luckily, we ran into each other by chance today.

I'm glad we did. I'll play on your team from now on.

Did you fight with that friend?

All right, you don't have to tell me now.

You can tell me when you are ready.

I'm sorry for what I said at the restaurant

the other day.

How did you know?

Your mother told me.

I said those things because I didn't know better.

You know, Arctic is trying very hard to win.

They have a great strategy,

unlike Thunder.

All they do is attack

without a care in the world.

I guess

I'm an aggressive guy like my favorite team.

You better prepare for my attack

next time we play together.

Bring it on, Gott.

I'll wait and see how good your attack is.

Hello?

Gott?

What's wrong?

All I did was challenge you, yet you're at a loss for words?

Discussing soccer with you is quite fun, actually.

Mhm.

Here. Watch your step.

Guy? What happened to your leg?

I fell over playing soccer.

Oh dear! Are you okay?

I'm okay now.

Gott gave me first-aid.

So I'm feeling better now.

Thank you so much

for taking care of my son.

No problem at all.

Injuries from playing sports are quite common.

Don't be a burden to Gott again next time, understand?

I know, Mom.

It's not that I wanted to get hurt or anything.

Can you get yourself upstairs, Guy?

Should I give you a hand?

No, it's okay.

You bringing me home is more than enough.

- Thank you. - Mm.

Gott,

I'll make you some tea.

- Gott. - Yes?

I'll make you some tea.

Oh, I'm afraid I'll have to pass.

I should get going. I have an early start at work tomorrow.

All right.

Thank you for taking care of my son.

Let's take a trip together for a few days

once we have some free time like you suggested.

I do want to spend more time with you

so I can get to know you better.

Of course.

Well then, get some rest tonight.

Good night.

Thanks. Good night.

(I found an internship placement)

(I have a soccer game with Guy today.)

Oh? Aren't you playing today? Why are you here then?

I saw the story you posted yesterday.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I didn't tell you I already found an internship placement.

You hurt my feelings.

And now you've wasted my time looking for a placement as well?

You promised me

we'd look for a placement together. But you left me hanging.

Well, Kay asked me to join him.

Kay?

Oh.

That explains a lot.

Guy?

I'm sorry.

Slow down.

Take it easy.

Is something bothering you?

A little.

It's that friend of yours, isn't it?

You can tell me if there's anything.

We're both soccer fans. We can chat about anything.

Please don't tell my mom, okay?

Sure.

I'm all ears.

I won't tell her.

Kem and I have always been friends.

But things became a bit more than that for a while.

We almost started going out.

But he dumped me

for Kay,

the guy he recently asked to join the team.

Are you...

upset about it?

More like disappointed.

I don't even know when they started talking.

Kem didn't tell me.

And he broke the promise he made me too.

He said he'd do an internship at the same place as me

and that he'd also find a placement for me.

Does that mean you haven't found an internship placement?

No, I haven't.

Who even am I to him?

Am I worthless in his eyes?

After all this time, what was it then?

He might not see your worth,

but it doesn't mean you're worthless.

I'm going to give him a piece of my mind right now.

Don't, Guy.

No drunk dialing.

Guy! Enough.

Why are you drinking so much? You'll get yourself drunk.

Here. Listen to me.

If someone doesn't see your worth,

let them be. Ignore them.

You're still worthy

in other people's eyes. Do you know that?

What's the matter, Gott?

Don't you like me?

Or have I done something wrong?

I'm sorry.

This is impossible.

I'm into women.

I think I'm getting drunk myself.

Anyway,

let's have a little bit more and leave.

Cheers.

Take it slow.

How come you're so drunk?

Ugh.

He's completely flush.

I suspect he might be allergic to alcohol.

He's allergic?

- Let's take him to a hospital. - It's okay.

He's looking better now.

Let him rest and give him lots of water.

He'll recover soon enough.

Oh, Guy.

Didn't I tell you to not bother Gott?

- We should let him rest. - Agreed.

And where did you two go? How come he's so drunk?

Please don't tell my mom this, okay?

You can tell me if there's anything.

I won't tell her.

Guy...

had an argument with a friend.

He suggested going out for a drink after our soccer game.

Then he confided in me

about a lot of things.

Actually,

he doesn't usually talk to anyone.

He must've felt that he could trust you.

That's why he confided in you.

I've noticed he's been

very happy when he's with you.

He probably feels like he can trust you.

Deep down, he probably wants to have someone he can trust.

Don't worry, Rin.

Your son is like my own.

Anyway, have a seat. I'll find you something cold to drink.

Thank you.

It'd be nice if I could nap for a bit

so I wouldn't have to drive under the influence.

Then you can wait for me by taking a nap right there.

Really? Here?

I'm afraid a table and chair aren't my furniture of choice.

They don't look so comfortable.

I was hoping for something

more soft and comfortable to sleep on.

Thank you.

Actually,

it's already late.

And you must be tired

from having to look after Guy.

A refreshing shower

and a nice rest

might not be a bad idea.

Are you letting me stay the night?

It's your call.

And where do you

want me to sleep?

There should be some space upstairs.

Oh, Guy? You're up.

Did you stay the night?

I did.

Is something the matter?

No, nothing's the matter.

I hauled you back here.

I was too tired to get home, so I decided to stay.

You were very drunk last night. Do you know that?

I didn't expect you to drink so much.

Now that you're up, how are you feeling?

I'm fine.

Guy?

Sit down and have some breakfast. Everything's ready.

- Here. - Thank you.

Are you feeling any better?

Mom, has Gott left?

Yes, he did just now.

Guy, Gott and I have agreed

to be in a relationship.

You're not okay with that?

No, I'm fine.

I'm probably still a bit hungover.

Actually,

I'm okay with that if you're happy.

Of course I am.

I was worried you might not get along with him at first.

But I've noticed his efforts

and saw that you two are really getting along.

I'm very happy about that.

Oh? Isn't it your birthday this Friday?

Keep your schedule open, all right?

Where do you plan to take me this year?

You'll find out soon enough.

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday, happy birthday - Happy birthday, happy birthday

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Gott.

Happy birthday.

Surprise!

What is this?

Take a look.

Soccer cleats! And there are two pairs!

Gott helped pick them out.

He knew which ones you'd like.

Naturally. We're both soccer fans after all.

Do they fit? I'll help you.

It's okay. I want to try them on by myself.

All right, Rin.

I'll have to excuse myself soon.

- Oh? - There's a game on tonight.

So I was thinking I'd go home and watch.

Guy's also watching the game.

Why would you leave now?

Stay here and watch it with him.

Is that a good idea?

Sure.

It's Arctic versus Servia.

The goalkeeper kicks off.

The ball goes to Michael.

Michael retains the ball. It's a close call.

- And he scores! - Yes!

That's it! He scores!

- Unbelievable! - It's time to celebrate.

Here. Have a bit of this.

I'll pass.

Oh? How come?

Are you scared you might get drunk again like that night?

You remember it, don't you?

When we almost...

I don't remember anything.

Please don't mention it again.

But I think you remember.

How did you feel?

Nice, I guess.

But I don't want you to misunderstand.

It's probably because what you said about Kem and Kay.

That's why I felt like there's someone who sees my worth.

What about afterward?

Actually, after that night

and after finding out those two are going out,

I should've felt sad.

But somehow I didn't.

I was just a little irritated.

Was it because I consoled you?

Possibly.

Well then.

I'll try consoling you again.

Then you can tell me how you feel.

How are you feeling?

Good.

Even though you're into women,

what if you found a guy you had feelings for someday?

Do you think you could hold yourself back?

I might not be that guy,

but I'm curious what you'd do.

There's nothing certain in this world.

The person who makes you feel like you are at your worst

might be the one you love and trust the most.

I'm happy when I get to be with you.

Save your explanation.

You're my mom's boyfriend.

I think you've become more than a friend to me.

Do you mind if I try going after you?

I believe you'll choose whoever's best for you.

I have feelings for you,

but I feel guilty toward Mom.

There's nothing wrong

with us being this way.

We both get to be ourselves.

The desire is mutual.

It's my first time wearing a soccer uniform.

I'm not really a fan of contact sports.

I don't like basketball because you have to...

Or soccer. A big no-no.

I'm a small guy.

Yes. Seriously.

Tiny.

Don't come close to me.

Gott, are you tired?

Easy-peasy.
