(Family By Choice)

Hi, Ju Won.

Spring suddenly took over my heart.

So I tell you how I feel with this letter.

From X who adores you.

He called himself "X." Is he in our year?

- You're in a good mood. - I actually...

have something to brag about.

"Yoon Ju Won." You see? There's my name.

I'll start dating now.

He's class president and smart.

I heard he's handsome and tall too.

My mom always said...

a person's background is important.

You're proof that it's just a stereotype.

I don't live in poor circumstances.

We're special in our own way.

What was that about? Is he for real? Is he your dad?

A birth father he never knew existed...

I thought he passed away.

But are you sure he's your biological father?

If you follow me to America,

you can do anything you want.

I hope you never contact me again.

I am Hae Jun's father.

I put in twice the amount my lawyer calculated.

Dad!

Your birth father...

wants to take you with him.

I don't want you to go.

I was afraid...

you might tell me to leave,

so I wasn't going to tell you.

I was scared.

You must be surprised to see me out of the blue.

Why did you suddenly show up after ten years?

To forgive you.

- Forgive me, for what? - You and So Jung.

You two were alone in the house.

What did she say?

I told him I wanted to stay in touch.

If I take him to Seoul,

I can have him meet some college admission consultants...

You abandoned him. How could you say that now?

Can't you just leave San Ha alone?

San Ha!

You see the resemblance, right?

And if I do?

I want to live with you.

How come you never ask me what I want?

Please leave.

And never come back here.

Hey.

Excuse me.

Don't you think you should ask him if he wants to go back to Seoul?

Why?

Because San Ha might not want to go.

That can't be.

My mom said he would come.

Sure.

Go ahead.

His college entrance exam is around the corner.

He must be under a lot of stress from studying and all.

I didn't see the need to bring up the incident from the past.

I'm his mother.

If anyone is worried, it's me.

Of course, that's right.

If so,

why don't you ask him...

to meet his half-sister after the college entrance exam?

Or you can revisit that next year...

since he'll be going to college then.

You spoiled him because you're too lenient with him!

Pardon?

He used to be an obedient son.

I mean, I did think that he had gotten a bit rude.

That's because...

you hadn't called him even once over the past ten years.

And you acted like a caring mom all of a sudden.

I mean,

he didn't even ask to go to Seoul first.

Did you think he would up and leave...

just because you asked him to go to Seoul with you?

You should have asked him if he wanted to go to Seoul first.

Had you asked him what he wanted, he wouldn't have been this rude.

- Look! - Yes, look here.

You basically punched him in the heart first.

Then you got angry because he fought back.

That's what happened here.

(Yoon's Kalguksu)

There are plenty of other kids who are happy with their moms.

Why do you keep taking it out on me?

When other people see us, we're exactly the same.

We're just some kids, abandoned by our moms!

How many times must I say this for you to remember it?

Should I say it again?

You and I are...

Why are you acting like little kids?

He's still got his mommy issue, so that makes him a kid, I guess.

Kang Hae Jun!

Don't hit my brother! Don't hurt him!

What are you guys doing?

You sure know how to keep things in line around here.

(Episode 5)

What's up with the mood?

They had a fight.

What about your dad?

When they fought,

your ex-wife insulted my dad's parenting method.

I told her to stay away.

Why do you keep whispering?

Do you want some dried lavers?

This is not how one should behave at a dinner table.

Thank you for the meal.

Thank you for the meal.

Why did you lose your temper? They might get indigestion.

We should be the ones to scold them. If they behave this way outside,

people will say it's because they grew up without a mother.

You know that they're not the type to behave like this outside.

Learning how to deal with their issues is part of growing up.

That's right.

What about my dried lavers?

We won't be having them. The kids are done with the meal.

But what about me?

Dried lavers are expensive these days.

What?

It's been like this for a week now.

It's been over a week since I had a proper family meal.

Just give them more time.

Reconciliation requires time. You know?

At this rate, my blood might dry up before that happens.

You know what happened yesterday?

Mr. Kim gave us money to order fried chicken.

Do you want the plain one? Or the one with the sauce?

With the sauce.

Then let me go and ask San Ha too.

Plain or with the sauce?

- What? - Plain or with the sauce?

- I want plain fried chicken. - Not the one with the sauce?

Why? Does Kang Hae Jun want the one with the sauce?

I want plain fried chicken.

Hold on. Let me ask him again.

Plain fried chicken?

The one...

with the sauce.

Plain fried chicken.

Then how about half and half?

I want the one with the sauce.

Plain.

(Sauce)

Are you dead set against getting it half and half?

(Plain)

The one...

with the sauce.

Plain fried chicken.

I don't want the fried chicken.

Forget it, darn it!

But I must get them to make up before Kang Hae Jun's birthday.

Why? What's happening on his birthday?

What if they fight again at the birthday meal?

He must already feel uncomfortable since his aunt is coming.

His aunt? What aunt?

Hae Jun has an aunt. She comes on his birthdays.

But I heard he lost touch with his mother.

But he's still in touch with his aunt. She lives nearby too.

Is that so?

That's good. I'm glad his aunt is around.

Right? It's good, isn't it?

What?

I heard you might be coming down with a cold.

I got you some medicine from the nurse's office.

Thanks.

Are you free this weekend?

Are they going on a date?

I didn't say anything. It was you who told everything.

I kept my promise.

So give me another chance to make a good impression on you.

Now, I know that you come from an amazing background.

Is that so?

Where would you take me?

Look.

They built a new rail for bicycles at the park.

What is it?

"Sky Bike, 2km."

"Your love can come true after a ride on the Sky Bike."

And there's a heart.

I'm not interested...

(Ride with friends, and your friendship will grow!)

Is this true?

Yes.

It's true!

- Hey, where are you going? - To invite them!

We have a bicycle at home. Ride that.

It's totally different.

"A therapeutic ride, accompanied by the scent of pine needles."

We have a bicycle at home.

"A therapeutic ride while smelling phytoncides."

Really?

- They're coming? - Yes.

Forget it. I'm good.

Well, I tried.

I guess it will be just me and San Ha.

Well, I tried.

I'll just go with Hae Jun instead.

Seriously. They can't stand feeling excluded.

But do you think that will help them reconcile?

It said so.

"Ride with friends, and your friendship will grow."

When you do something with your friends,

your friendship is bound to grow.

- It's so logical. - You think it will be that simple?

Are you free at 2pm on Sunday?

- You want me to come too? - Yes.

The bicycle is for four people.

Why? Are you busy?

No. I'm not busy.

What should I wear?

I can take the bus.

You said the lecture would last all day.

You must save your energy.

Should I come and pick you up in the evening?

Sure.

Goodness, the traffic is terrible today.

Here we are.

- I'll get going. - Bye.

- Bye. - Okay. Have a good day.

(Sky Bike to the End of the World)

Stand in the back.

You can get on the bike in a little while.

- Gosh, they're so handsome. - Oh, my.

- I can't believe this. - Goodness!

They're so cute!

Oh, my. What am I going to do?

How can we have a therapeutic ride when it's this crowded?

That's odd.

It just opened, so I heard it was pretty empty.

You're here.

Hey, why is this place so crowded?

Wherever they go becomes a popular spot.

How did everyone know they were coming?

You told everyone that you would come here with your brothers.

I did?

To invite them!

(Ju Won's brothers will go to the Sky Bike this weekend.)

- This is crazy. - Right here!

Come here! Right here!

Girls, come over here.

- San Ha and Hae Jun... - What is it?

Will ride the rail bike!

- ( Awesome. Let's go this weekend. - I'll ride behind them!)

- ( What time are they going? - Me too! I want to go too!)

- ( Get me the address now. - Let's gather more girls and go.)

I think that's why he came too.

See you later.

Excuse me. Let me just pass through.

I'm sorry. Let me just pass through.

Originally, this was my idea.

I would have accepted it if you wanted to bring them too.

Did you forget? We're not on good terms.

I told you not to talk to Ju Won, didn't I?

I repented on what I did. So we're good now.

Next.

Let's go, Ju Won.

- What do you think you're doing? - As if!

Dal will be here soon. Yes.

I hope she comes soon.

Next.

It's 2 by 2. It's perfect.

Okay. I guess we don't have a choice.

- Let's just ride it without him. - That would be better.

Yes. Let's go.

Let's go.

No! Not there.

What?

- No, I'm going to sit here. - No!

- You're holding up the line. - What?

This is good.

Fasten your seatbelts.

- Come on! - Oh, no!

Get on the next one.

You know,

I can't hear anything.

Feel free to talk to each other. Okay?

Don't even worry about pedaling.

Are you not done yet?

Okay. Then keep talking to each other.

She must be tired.

Right. She's trying hard, though.

My goodness. I told you we should just play pool.

Why did you want to come to a park?

- Come on. - You know what? All the girls...

from our school are all here.

Gosh, is that so?

I have a plan. Okay?

I'm sorry.

Gosh, who knows?

We might meet a beautiful girl today.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Look at that.

Nature is indeed magnificent.

My gosh. People might think...

we're climbing Cheonwang Peak on Mount Jiri.

- I'm sorry. - For what?

I'm sorry I punched you.

Just that?

And all the things you did wrong before that?

Before that?

What did I do wrong?

I knew it. You probably have no idea.

I know I punched you, but you started it.

You punched me with your words first.

You started it too.

No way. I didn't start it.

If you don't know why you have to apologize,

just don't even bother.

Hey, just hit me.

Just hit me, and let's move on.

- Darn it. - You told me to hit you.

- You little... - What?

I knew it.

- You want to apologize? - Let go.

Gosh, let go!

- Hey. Let go of me. - What?

I told you to reconcile. Why are you guys fighting?

- Darn it. - Hey, stop it!

You'd better not make up.

- I'll kill you if you reconcile! - Darn it.

- You... - Stop it!

Darn it. Come on!

- Hey, I told you to stop! - Goodness.

(Sky Bike to the End of the World)

What...

We're going home separately.

I'll go home after seeing Dal.

Seriously.

Darn it.

Hey.

Don't you go to Haedong High School?

No.

Gosh, don't lie. I saw you watching our basketball team practice.

That must be your friend. Is that a girl?

Then ask her to join us!

Yes, let's hang out.

(Beverages)

Do you not have any water?

I sold all the bottled water and cool drinks.

My gosh, I placed an order. What's taking so long?

It's tasty.

- They look like trouble. - Let's just go.

- She's my class president. - No way.

Min Soo is friends with some scary guys.

- Let's go. Come on. Hurry. - What?

Come here.

What? I'm on my way home too.

One of us should bring her home.

She's not a little kid.

It's broad daylight. She can find her way home on her own.

If you're worried about her, go and fetch her.

I didn't say I was worried.

Goodness.

Stop lying. Come on, let's hang out.

- No. Please let go of my hand. - Hey.

- Hae Jun. - Hae Jun!

Me?

These scary-looking guys approached Dal...

- Where in the park? - Around the gazebo.

He ran immediately.

Maybe, he likes Dal!

Who's this?

Aren't you Kang Hae Jun's sister?

- Why are you coming? - Ju Won.

- She said she was meeting Dal. - Darn it.

Ju Won.

Ju Won. Are you okay?

Oh, no. Did she get a heatstroke?

Hey, shouldn't we call the ambulance?

- The ambulance... - Call 911.

Are you all right?

- What's wrong with her? - What?

- What? - What's she doing?

- The medicine! - Get her the medicine!

- What? - Water...

- Water. - Water.

- She needs water to take the pill. - Get some water.

- Let's go! - We'll be back soon.

- It's this way! - Hey, where's the water?

Over here!

Right here.

Ju Won. Wake up.

What's wrong with her?

- Well... - Where are they?

How dare they hit a woman?

Hit her?

What about you? Are you okay?

- I don't have a cold... - Hey.

What?

- What's going on? What? - Cha Min Soo.

- Dal. Could you look after her? - You... Come here.

Darn you!

- Wait. It's not what you think. - Hey!

Hey, hold on.

How dare you?

Let go!

Hey! What are you doing?

- No! - Stop it!

- Hey! - No, listen!

- Stop it. - No!

(Police)

Are you all right?

What does it look like?

All right.

So they simply brought you water, right?

Yes.

I'll start with you on the left. Let's call your parents.

(Allowances: San Ha, Ju Won, Hae Jun)

Is there something wrong?

When they start college next year,

we should think about buying them a used car.

A car? No way.

Think about the maintenance fee and insurance. It will cost a lot.

Goodness.

Well, both of them will go to Myungjoo University.

It'd be nice if they drove to school together.

I wonder if I can set up another savings account.

I think drinking beer...

once a week seems rather excessive.

You promised not to cut down my beer!

Come on.

What's this?

Hello?

(Police)

(Police)

I'm sorry we got the wrong idea.

She was passed out on the street. So we thought you had harmed her.

I'm sorry.

Well, that was a sincere apology. It's hard not to accept it.

What should we do?

Should we just let this slide?

My gosh. But to do that, it feels a bit unfair.

(Police)

Mr. Kim.

Lieutenant. What brings you here?

Son. - "Son?"

- Can we talk? - Sure.

My goodness. Unbelievable.

My gosh, we almost fell for it. You know?

Fall for what?

You were faking it, weren't you?

You were just setting it up.

Right. You just wanted to bounce after a half-hearted apology.

- That's not true. - As if!

Guys, we can't back down now. Got it?

We're the victims!

- They beat us up! - That's right!

- Let's sit back down. - Oh, that hurts!

- Gosh. - Goodness, that hurts.

You guys should go home.

It's late. Your parents must be worried.

How dare you beat up people?

Make sure they're punished for what they did.

My gosh.

Seriously?

- He'll let them get punished? - My gosh.

Well, I don't think that's necessary.

Well, I would've lost it myself too if I saw my sister...

- on the ground. Right? - That's true. It's understandable.

I know how it must've felt.

Right. Come to think of it, they didn't beat us that badly.

- You got beaten up the most. - Are you okay?

- We should change the tissue. - Gosh, I'm good.

- This is... - It's crooked.

His fist only grazed my face. I'm good.

(Police)

By the way,

as you heard from the victims,

the situation could have been misunderstood very easily.

You got off easy today because the kids were nice about it.

You guys know that you were incredibly lucky, right?

- We do. - Yes.

So you are Ju Won's friend, right?

Yes.

What a day you had with these fools.

No, I'm okay.

I can drive you home. You can get in my car.

- No, it's okay. - Get in my car.

- You too, Ju Won. - Yes, sir.

You two can take the bus.

Bye.

Get in.

(Mirinae Academy)

Are you sure we can drop you off here?

It's not far from my house. I'm good.

Thank you for the ride.

Sure.

(Academy for CSAT and School Exams)

Park Dal!

- Mom. - Who were they?

Why did you get out of his car?

Do you know how many times I've called you today?

My gosh. Something had come up.

I didn't know you called.

Whatever happened, you should've answered your phone.

I was worried sick!

I was about to call the police!

I'm sorry.

I thought something happened to you.

Didn't I tell you?

You're my only hope.

You're everything I've got!

If something were to happen to you...

I'm sorry for making you worry.

This won't ever happen again.

So whose car was that?

I was with Ju Won and her brother.

I told you about them before.

Ju Won's brother only missed one question...

on his last English mock exam.

Getting his notes is more helpful...

than taking the lecture at the academy.

Is that so?

Mr. Kim.

Don't worry.

I didn't say anything to your dad.

You know, we don't want him to worry over nothing.

If you knew that, why did you beat up innocent kids?

If anything like this happens again,

I'll set you straight before you head off to college. Got it?

Goodness.

There.

Did you two make up?

You didn't?

We did. Yes.

We're leaving. Goodnight.

Sleep tight.

I knew they would make up in no time. Seriously.

- Come on. - Goodness.

I don't recall reconciling with you.

According to Dal, she's been having cold symptoms for a few days now.

We didn't catch that because you and I were busy fighting.

Let's pretend to have made up, at least.

Why must we do that?

Everyone is concerned about us.

Ju Won and Mr. Yoon too.

Why do you think my dad said he wouldn't tell Mr. Yoon about it?

If you keep making that face...

on your birthday in front of your aunt,

everyone will be uncomfortable.

It's just an act.

If you so much as lay a finger on me, you're finished.

Right back at you.

- Come on. - Go.

Darn it.

Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

The rail bike worked.

- Already? - Yes.

They didn't fight over side dishes in the morning.

Perhaps, it was the peace of mind I felt this morning.

I inhaled my breakfast.

What about your cold? Do you feel better now?

Yes.

I'm glad to hear that.

Did something happen? You look like you didn't get any sleep last night.

No, I slept well last night.

You got home really late yesterday.

Did you get scolded?

No, it was fine.

- It happened yesterday. - Really?

- For real? - Are they going out?

- Really? - My gosh.

- Oh, my. - Are you serious?

Did you hear?

Hae Jun likes Park Dal, our class president.

- For real? - I saw it with my own two eyes.

"Dal is in danger."

As soon as he heard that, he ran to her with his eyes widened like this.

- Oh, my! - He's in love!

My goodness.

- My gosh. - He is a real man.

- For real. - Hey, Hae Jun's girlfriend is here.

- Look! Kang Hae Jun's girlfriend. - Hae Jun's girlfriend is here.

- Oh, my! - Hey, Kang Hae Jun's girlfriend!

What is going on?

- Tell us what's going on! - My gosh.

Come on.

The rumor has spread already, so just ask him out.

How could I ask him out just because of some rumors?

Jae Eun said she saw it with her own eyes.

She may exaggerate things,

but she isn't creative enough to make up stuff that never happened.

How can he reject you if you tell him that you like him?

Hae Jun likes straightforward people.

Hey, do you really like her?

Why are you always so straightforward?

- So what if I like her? - Don't.

Do you realize you look like a loser now?

You look like you're totally obsessed with me.

I am obsessed with you.

- What if I say I like her? - Then I'm going to bully her.

I guess you have nothing to lose now.

Don't bully an innocent girl.

You know she's my sister's friend.

She's Ju Won's friend, so she's also like a little sister to me.

Is that right?

She's your sister's friend, so she's also like a little sister to you,

which means you will never date her. Am I right?

Of course, I won't. Stop talking nonsense.

Darn...

What is with them?

Not knowing the reason is better for your own sake, you heartbreaker.

What did I do wrong?

Do you want to go to the cafeteria?

Don't worry about me.

It was just a groundless rumor anyway.

But it's not like he rejected you directly.

If you ask him in person...

That's called a confirmed kill.

You shouldn't date when you're in high school.

Dating is something you do in college.

(Korean 1)

- What was that? - My gosh. Did you hear that?

- Hey, do you want this? - Really?

(Kang Hae Jun, Dal, Hee Ju?)

- Shall we go that way? - How about that shop over there?

Did Hae Jun mention he needed anything?

Running shoes? What about running shoes?

Running shoes?

I want this. It's the only one left.

- What should we get? - This.

How do I look?

Take it off. Turn around and go.

I want it.

A confirmed kill?

She can just be honest and tell him.

"I like you." Is it that hard?

She can't tell him because she really likes him.

It could ruin the relationship they have now.

But Dal is kind and smart.

Hee Ju is smart too.

Don't do that.

I said, don't.

Yes, this.

This one here?

- Let's get this. - Okay.

- Do you have this in 275mm? - One moment, please.

Hae Jun's shoe size is 270mm.

His feet have grown.

The ones he has now are a bit too tight.

I knew it.

You sure love him.

Do you have this in 240mm?

That's 240mm.

Try this on.

- It's not my birthday. - I know. Just try it on.

Later on,

I'll buy you something nicer.

Okay.

Here.

I think you got the price wrong.

I gave you an employee discount.

Why?

Because you're such a cute couple.

- We're not a couple... - Thank you.

Be quiet. She gave us a discount.

Enjoy the shoes.

Thank you.

I want to see San Ha.

- Not today. - Why not?

I want to see my brother.

We can go now.

We can go and see him once we're done eating!

- I don't want to see him. - But I want to see him.

Do you need to go to the restroom?

I'm going to the restroom. Stay here and eat your food.

- Okay? - Okay.

San Ha!

You're running late, right? I guess we can't eat now, then.

We can grab a quick bite.

- How about a burger? - A large combo.

San Ha!

San Ha!

San Ha!

So Hee, are you all right?

Get up.

Where does it hurt?

- Here? It hurts here? - Yes.

- Just here? - Yes.

If it's just here, the pain will go away very soon.

- Really? - Jung So Hee!

So Hee.

I told you to stay inside and eat your food.

I saw San Ha, so...

I told you I didn't want to see San Ha.

Come here.

Look at this. You're hurt.

This happens whenever you get involved.

So Hee. You were a good girl, weren't you?

Why do accidents like this happen when your brother gets involved?

That is not true.

Great things happen when San Ha gets involved.

My dad had never even won fifth place when playing the lottery,

but he recently won fourth place.

And my dad's restaurant is so busy...

because everyone is flocking to see the top student. Did you know that?

No one in the building has been in a car accident.

The bridal wreath spirea in the garden too.

We thought it was dead, but it started flowering right away.

Everyone was like, "This is a miracle!"

Let's go.

Let's check out that performance.

That is not true.

Great things happen when San Ha gets involved.

Hey! There's nothing wrong with my brother.

There's something wrong with you!

If you get hungry, just knock on my door.

Children should never be hungry. Okay?

San Ha!

Are you all right?

Was that too rude?

- What? - I mean,

she's way older than me. I was out of line, right?

What?

I wanted to check if you still had a fever.

A fever?

My goodness. It all went away long ago.

Yes, I see that you're fine now.

(Yoon's Kalguksu)

(Closed today to celebrate my son's birthday)

- Ju Won, get the plates ready. - Okay.

- What about your aunt? - She's almost here.

All right.

- Fry all the pancakes. - Hey, where are you going?

I'll go and get San Ha.

All right.

San Ha.

Can't you knock?

You heard the door open. That's like a knock.

- Get out. I need to get changed. - Okay, get changed.

Hey, get out.

- Get out! - Hey, you're being so mean.

- Get out! - I never asked you to knock...

Darn it.

From now on, lock your door when you're getting changed.

Why?

Well, what if Hae Jun or I open the door without knowing...

Forget it.

- Where's Dad? - He went to get cake.

Again?

You're making that face again.

- You know... - Auntie is a good person.

I know that.

It's just that Hae Jun doesn't know what to do when she's here.

He forces himself to laugh and speaks loudly.

Don't show him you noticed it.

Let's say you want to say something to her.

Yes.

But you're not sure whether or not you should say it.

- Okay. - Then just don't say anything.

Let's go.

You know, I always try, but...

Smile.

Auntie!

- Have you been well? - Yes.

- Let me. - Thanks.

You're here. Welcome.

- Do you need a hand? - No, I'm almost done.

Thanks for coming all the way here. Take a seat and rest.

- Let's go. - Okay.

- Hello, you're here. - Yes, hi.

Ju Won, have you been well too?

Yes.

You're due next month, right?

Yes.

Hey, go to the room and put your clothes away.

Oh, right.

Yes.

What?

What's going on with your birth father?

You haven't heard from him yet?

No.

- I think he went to Seoul. - I see.

Right, that makes sense.

What do you mean?

You see, I've been thinking.

I wonder if you should just go and live with your birth father.

- Auntie. - What? Am I wrong?

This family has been taking care of you for ten years already.

Don't be shameless.

I'm good to them.

As if I'd believe that.

Look what happened just now.

You can just go ahead and clean Ju Won's room for her.

And if you see San Ha setting the table,

you should go and help him out.

Next year, you'll have to pay your college tuition too.

It'll cost a lot of money.

I'll do better from now on.

I do try my best, but I guess I let things slip my mind sometimes.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

What are you doing there?

What?

Hey, you're back.

- I'll take it. This is... - Okay, here.

Whipped cream cake, nice.

Oh, my.

- Oh, hello. - Hello.

- Whipped cream cake. - What kind of cake is it?

Whipped cream cake. Look.

- Can't we open it now? - My gosh. It's covered with fruit.

- Look at this. - Hey, calm down.

- What? - Let's...

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday, dear Kang Hae Jun - Happy birthday, dear Kang Hae Jun

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

Make a wish.

- Here. - Oh, my. What is this?

It's from me and San Ha.

- Basketball shoes? - Yes.

We should eat before the galbi gets cold.

Okay.

Thank you for the food!

They say if you give a pair of shoes as a gift, the person will run away.

Will this be all right?

Run away? Where will he go?

Once Hae Jun gets into college,

he'll be an amazing son to Ju Won's father.

- Right? - Yes.

To tell you the truth,

when you decided to take him in,

I thought you'd send him back soon.

Back then, I was busy making a living,

so I would've been grateful to you even if it'd been for a short while.

It's not like you don't have your own child.

When you said you wanted to take care of someone else's child,

I thought you were foolishly kind.

Goodness. Don't say that.

I mean it. I really am so grateful to you.

The things even his own mother and aunt never did for him...

He got them all from this family.

So, I know Hae Jun will be good to you.

Tell him...

to repay you multifold when he's all grown up.

He doesn't need to be good to us.

That's not necessary.

What parent expects his children to repay him for raising them?

Why? Is the galbi not good?

It's not that.

- It's good. - It's delicious.

Yes. Let's eat.

My, this is so refreshing.

- It's good, right? - Yes.

All right. Eat up, guys.

Shall we call a taxi for you?

No, don't bother. I can just hail a taxi on the main road.

I wish I had him brought here...

when he was even younger.

Then I would've been...

able to raise him without him knowing that I wasn't his real dad.

Then I would've been able...

to raise him without him hearing that he had to be good to me.

What's the matter with you?

Hey, take him to his room.

Okay.

Goodness. I'm fine.

We'll take you to your room, Mr. Yoon.

- Dad. - All right.

- My gosh. - Careful.

Why don't you know that when you're a parent yourself?

Feeding them, clothing them, and putting them to sleep.

I do it because it gives me joy, not because it makes them happy.

I do it for myself, so why...

Why does Hae Jun have to walk on eggshells because of it?

I didn't mean that he had to walk on eggshells.

I'm just really grateful to you, so...

"Grateful?"

Because of my kids,

I can't even spit on the streets...

because I'm afraid I'd even regret stuff like that...

if something bad were to happen to my kids.

Thanks to my children,

I can live as a decent man,

so I should be grateful to them.

What did the boys do so wrong...

that one of them has to put up with his mom being so mean to him...

and the other one has to deal with his aunt nagging him like this?

That kid, Hae Jun...

Whatever I'm doing,

he always tries his best to help me whenever he can.

He takes care of himself on top of practicing basketball,

doing his own laundry, and cleaning his room.

He's such a good boy.

What did he do so wrong...

that you have to keep telling him to be good?

What more...

What more can he do to be good?

I swear, that is not what I meant.

We know.

We know that wasn't what you meant. Right.

He's just drunk. That's why. You understand, right?

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Hey, I'm okay.

Oh, boy.

Oh, dear.

My goodness.

He's done it.

Talk about an unforgettable birthday.

- Hey, his socks. - Okay.

Here, it's clean.

- I'm so foolish, aren't I? - No.

Hey, just leave it.

I'll clean this with Hae Jun when he's out.

Oh, I can take care of this quickly.

You and Hae Jun aren't the same.

I know you guys grew up together here,

but your dad takes care of all the expenses.

I'll clean this quickly and get going.

Go upstairs and rest.

We are the same.

- What? - Hae Jun and I are the same.

My dad isn't here to just take care of the expenses.

And Mr. Yoon doesn't think that about me or Hae Jun.

You don't need to worry.

- Help me put away the dishes. - Okay.

Hey, help Auntie hail a taxi.

Okay.

- Let's go. - All right.

We should've just called a taxi to come to our building.

It's fine.

If I get into a taxi right away, I might feel like I'm suffocating.

I haven't cried in so long.

I do feel better now that I've cried a little.

Really?

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing again?

No idea. I don't really know,

but it's true that I wronged you.

You did nothing wrong, Auntie.

Dad was just a little upset today. That's all.

I totally understand where you were coming from.

- Hae Jun. - Yes.

Just forget your mom.

Just think that she never existed.

Just be good to Ju Won's father. Don't worry about anyone else.

As for your mom...

Just forget her.

No. Should I not say this to you either?

I rarely think about Mom anyway.

I barely remember what she looked like.

All right.

I'll be good to Dad...

and to you as well, Auntie.

I'll repay everyone for everything.

So, you have nothing to worry about, Auntie.

Auntie.

You trust me, right?

Stop crying. Please?

I'll be good.

What time is it?

Just before midnight.

Did your aunt leave?

Yes, I saw her off.

She said she was sorry.

I brought you some water and hangover medicine.

Auntie bought it for you.

Don't forget to brush your teeth.

There's fresh underwear in your drawer.

I know that.

Good night, Dad.

There.

How's Auntie? Is she all right?

Yes, she's okay.

After hearing what you said,

I guess she feels relieved.

Ta-da

Hey, stop.

Yes, stop.

The 19-year-old boy, Kang Hae Jun. Now that his aunt has left,

he feels loneliness filling up his heart.

Hey, cut it out! Goodness.

This is for you.

Ta-da - Seriously?

- You guys! - What?

(Getting ready)

(Suk's Dry Cleaning)

(Dry Cleaning)

We're still getting ready. Sorry!

You'll have to wait a bit.

Is that okay...

Mr. Yoon Jung Jae, right?

Do you remember me?
