But do you think that will help them reconcile?

When you do something with your friends,

your friendship is bound to grow.

Let go of me.

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

- Darn it. - Hey.

You'd better not make up. I'll kill you if you reconcile!

Let's hang out.

- Please let go of my hand. - Hey.

Who's this? Aren't you Kang Hae Jun's sister?

Oh, no. Did she get a heatstroke?

- Shouldn't we call the ambulance? - The ambulance...

Right here.

Ju Won. Wake up.

Where are they? How dare they hit a woman?

Hey!

- Hold on. - How dare you?

Mr. Yoon Jung Jae, right?

Don't you remember lending me money?

Why don't you want to see Hae Jun?

You don't think you can tell him...

his mom paid her debt and left?

What could be a good reason...

to leave without meeting her son?

I heard she had paid him back.

She said you don't have to worry about the debt.

Why is Hae Jun so clueless?

It's you her mother wanted to see.

Why would I have asked him to tag along? He had nothing to do with it.

Most people would get the hint.

Was he always this clueless?

You're clueless too.

Why?

So...

What...

I meant was...

I'm not that clueless.

What?

I notice stuff too.

When didn't I notice anything today?

Name a time if you can.

Go on.

Why are you laughing?

You said you noticed stuff.

You couldn't tell why I laughed?

Why...

did you laugh?

- It's bus number 900. - Number 900?

- Look. - Oh, no.

- Come on, run! - Okay.

We have to wait an hour if we miss that bus.

- Mister! - Go ahead.

Mister!

Let's go.

Appeal to the guy.

Beg him to wait!

Thank you.

If we'd missed this one, we might have had to wait...

for 2 hours, not just 1.

My gosh.

Is herb salt an effective ghost repellent?

Is that what you talk about at school?

Yes. It's our hottest topic right now.

First, you must prove ghosts exist,

then if salt repels ghosts.

Only then can you argue that.

No. This isn't about proving and stuff.

It's a matter of entertainment.

Then I say herb salt works because there is some salt in it.

The main component of herb salt is salt, not herbs.

Then do hamsters' feet sweat or not?

Hamsters are mammals,

and they regulate their temperature,

so of course, their feet must sweat.

It was stupid of me to even ask.

My goodness.

What are you doing there?

Why are you guys so late?

Why are you out here?

Didn't you visit your aunt?

Did something happen at the hospital?

Why? What happened?

Nothing. My aunt's fine.

Then who isn't fine?

Is it you?

Before we turn nasty,

explain what isn't fine.

How much was it?

(Lucky General Store)

It was 20,000 dollars.

I'd known because Auntie had told me.

The loan. When did you hear about that?

Long ago.

When I came here.

I wondered why she always told you off.

She didn't mean to.

She felt bad too.

And guilty.

It's not Hae Jun's fault.

My point exactly.

Why tiptoe around us when it wasn't your fault?

Why feel bad?

She paid him back, so all is well.

You don't have to feel bad anymore.

He's right.

I was going to pay him back.

If Mom couldn't come back because she didn't have the money,

I could pay it back instead.

But she paid him back.

I guess she didn't stay away because she didn't have the money.

It would've been nice if it were the money.

It would've been nice if she'd stayed to see you.

Take it.

Here.

Eat. I gave you half first.

Eat this too.

I'm home.

Hi. Where's Ju Won?

She's waiting to get something from San Ha.

What?

I'm almost done. Do your own thing.

Why wash this by hand when we have a washing machine?

Do you see this? This requires manual washing.

I don't see anything.

Even if you don't,

it feels much better to wear something clean in the morning.

The money my mom paid back.

That should cover my tuition for the first year of college.

Then I'll work part-time and pay you back.

How did you hear about it?

I visited my aunt.

Why did she stop to see my aunt but not me?

Was she too busy?

If she comes by again and asks to see me,

tell her I don't want to see her.

Though I doubt she'll come back now that she's paid you back.

There.

I'll hang these up.

Hae Jun.

Don't talk to me about paying me back.

You don't owe me anything.

What Ju Won doesn't say,

you don't have to either.

He told you he knew his mom came by?

There are no secrets.

Be glad he told you.

You're right.

Brush your teeth and go to bed.

(Yoon's Kalguksu)

One, two, three, four,

five.

Good on him for offering to pay you back.

No parent should make a kid worry about money.

Did something nice happen to you?

Why are you in such a good mood?

San Ha's mom...

texted me to say she's going to Seoul.

She won't come here anymore?

She'll have to actually plan a trip to do so.

Seoul's at the other end of the country.

Did you tell San Ha?

Yes, as soon as I got the text.

I see.

They both came over and shook up the kids,

but they managed to find their places.

I noticed that...

Hae Jun's birth father has been quiet lately.

I was pretty sure he'd sue us in the near future.

Here.

Can you please take a look?

I was going to...

leave you behind and go to the US on my own.

But you come to mind whenever I try to sleep,

and I think of you whenever I eat something tasty.

Don't you think...

that's blood being thicker than water?

You said something like that when we first met.

I won't fall for it again.

Hey. You didn't fall for anything.

I'm dead serious.

You tracked me down to guard your assets!

That was before I actually saw you.

And I'm your dad.

You deserted me.

You deserted Mom and me, and now you say this?

What should I do, then?

Should I beg?

- I'm leaving if we're done. - No, wait.

Hae Jun. What's taking you so long?

I told you to start without me.

We can't. They came from Seoul to see you.

Let the kids who want to go to college in Seoul play.

Shut your mouth...

and run. - "Seoul?"

"College?"

- Touch, okay. - Okay.

Focus!

Number ten is Kang Hae Jun?

Yes. He's great at passing and shooting.

With skills like that, I'd say...

he could go pro.

We can't tell because he's stuck in the country.

He'll vanish as soon as he joins Myungjoo University.

He's the only good one here.

(Player List)

To me.

Who are you?

I'm a father who was passing by.

Play gentle.

That number ten kid.

He's good, right?

Would you say he's very good?

So, I have to come back here in two weeks?

This boy keeps making me come all the way here. Goodness.

San Ha!

Dad says to wash your sheets.

I already did, yesterday.

- What? - They're clean sheets.

Really?

What?

I told you not to sit on my bed.

And now, I'm lying down.

- Get out. - Why?

I already came up here, so let me hang out for a bit.

Don't come up to the third floor anymore.

- Why not? - Next week is the CSAT.

I should concentrate.

- Come on. - What? Why?

Hey! Come on.

You...

I really should be careful.

Oh, boy.

Hey, wait for me. I need to wash my workout clothes.

I started the machine a while ago. Wash them separately.

Okay.

Hey, it's wet! Why would you put it there?

Gosh, seriously.

Why are you so cranky?

Don't you think San Ha has been on edge lately?

He's always been like that.

It's gotten a bit worse now that he's in his senior year.

Does he think he's above everyone else because he's a senior now?

I can't wait until the CSAT is over.

"Your head feels clearer, and you have good digestion."

"You can easily solve questions you couldn't solve before."

- Is someone taking the CSAT? - My future boyfriend.

Your boyfriend is a freshman.

Hey, we broke up a while ago.

That fool ran away like a coward.

- He ran away? - The other day, at the park.

Even so, isn't it too soon?

Every important event in life...

happens all of a sudden.

Should I make one too?

(Talisman for Good Luck)

Use red for this?

No, use purple.

Yes, purple.

Hey, I wish I had an older brother too.

You want to take one of mine?

You'd want to take Kang Hae Jun, right?

Hurry up.

That's not enough. Go harder.

Keep going. Use your wrist more.

Let's see. There.

Fifty cents. A dime, and...

(CSAT)

Dad, rolled omelets. Make plenty.

Okay.

The threshold! Don't step on it.

Don't move.

The threshold!

Be careful, will you? That will sweep away good luck.

Dad, are you done?

Yes. All done.

- Here, take this. - Okay.

The chocolate is for when your blood sugar drops.

Hey, why are you all nervous?

I know. I feel nervous.

All right.

I packed your usual favorites.

Don't force yourself to eat if you don't feel like it.

- All right, let's go! - Okay.

Good luck!

Just go ahead and skip the really difficult questions.

If you're really stuck, just mark the same answer for everything!

That way, you'll at least get a few questions right.

Got it!

We're having something special for dinner today, right?

You bet. I've already asked the lady...

to have some premium-quality meat ready for me.

- Nice! - No.

We should just let them celebrate on their own.

Yoon, the two of us should...

Are you kidding me?

We can't drink. We should feed the boys after their exam.

Dad, do we still have the tent from last year?

The tent? Yes, we do. Why?

Dad, you and Mr. Kim should go out for a drink.

I'll take care of the boys.

Really?

What are you going to do?

I should invite Dal too.

Overall, it was a little more difficult...

than the mock exam in September...

and substantially more difficult compared to last year's CSAT.

With challenging questions,

especially in the math and Korean sections,

this year's CSAT served its basic assessment function.

Nice, the exam's over now!

- Did you do well? - No, I bombed it.

- Hey! - Did you bomb the exam?

- I think I did pretty well. - San Ha!

- I totally bombed it. - Hey.

Which number had the most correct answers?

- Which number did you choose? - Three.

Nice. Number three had the most correct answers.

Yes!

But you're in liberal arts.

So, it's different.

Oh, you're right.

She says to wash hands...

and come up to the rooftop. You saw that too, right?

Are we getting fried chicken?

No idea. Let's go.

Hey. What are you waiting for? Take a seat.

You're here too.

How was the exam?

Exams should test the skills and knowledge you already have.

It means he bombed it.

Who set up the tent?

Oh, Mr. Kim did.

Dad prepared the doenjang stew and pork belly.

Dal got the chips.

- What about you? - Me?

I'm here, as an attendee.

Goodness.

Anyway... Here, guys.

Nice.

The CSAT is over at last. Congratulations!

Go on. Hurry.

Then did you both apply to Myungjoo University?

For Hae Jun, it's already decided,

and I have to submit my application.

I'm jealous. You guys will go to school and come home together.

How's that possible when our class schedules are different?

Why not? You guys can just go to school together...

You need to be careful!

You gave me a scare.

Hey, you gave me such a scare by shouting like that.

It's just a minor burn.

You still need to put some ointment on it. You guys, keep eating.

We'll be right back.

Don't worry. He'll be fine.

He doesn't bite.

Okay.

It looks fine, right?

It's nothing serious, right?

I thought you were seriously hurt.

Stop being so on edge now that the CSAT is over.

Was I on edge?

You told me not to even come up to the third floor.

That wasn't really because of the CSAT.

Then why?

Forget it. You can come up if you want.

What?

Let's leave those two alone for a bit.

We've given them plenty of alone time.

Here.

Here, have this.

Oh, it's okay.

- Let me... I can eat it myself. - Okay.

You know, my mom was here.

Your mom?

Yes.

I thought I should tell you, of all people.

It's good news.

Why did she say she couldn't visit you all this time?

I don't know.

I didn't even get to see her.

She had borrowed money from Dad ten years ago.

She paid him back and just left without seeing me.

Why?

I guess she didn't want to see me.

But you've missed her.

To the point that you looked for her on the streets.

No, I hate her now.

She doesn't want to see me, so why should I...

I hate her,

but I miss her at the same time.

I have to say, I think I miss her more than I hate her.

I probably sound like a fool now.

Hey, do you want some grilled onion?

The onion... Hey, where did the onion go?

Why are you crying?

I always cry when I see someone else cry.

I'm not crying.

You looked like you were crying.

Well...

I do want to cry, but...

Hey, I know.

You have a crush on San Ha.

Don't you worry. I haven't said anything about it to San Ha.

I mean, I shouldn't step in.

You should tell him yourself.

No, I do not.

I do not have a crush on San Ha.

Oh, is that right?

I really don't have a crush on him.

Okay, sure. I'll believe you.

Of course, you'll deny it. All right.

Let's just say you don't have a crush on him.

Hey! I said I'd grill it for you.

Spit it out. Come on!

- It's spicy! Spit it out. - He's yelling.

I told you it wasn't true. How many times must I repeat myself?

Okay, all right.

I'm saying this just in case. San Ha doesn't like Hee Ju.

I'm sure of it, so don't worry about that.

You really got the wrong idea.

Wrong idea? About what?

Ju Won, did you put ointment on it? My gosh.

- I should've come with you. - It's okay.

Hey, don't you have to catch the last bus?

If you stay out late, your mom will be worried.

- Take her to the bus stop. - What?

Hae Jun, you take her to the bus stop.

I'll...

do it.

- That's fine, right? - Then I'll tag along...

I have to clean this up by myself?

Text me when you get home.

- Wait until she gets on the bus. - Okay.

Let's go.

- Bye. - All right, bye.

Hey. Read the room, will you?

Don't you know when to leave them alone?

Why are you saying that?

Why does everyone say I'm clueless these days?

Why? Does San Ha like Dal?

You're so...

You should think.

- Does he not? - He doesn't.

I thought things were getting complicated.

Clean it up properly.

She doesn't even know her friend likes San Ha.

My goodness.

He doesn't even know Dal likes him.

Well...

I'm saying this in case you're misunderstanding.

I don't like you.

I know. You like Hae Jun.

Please understand.

Hae Jun is clueless when it comes to things like this.

He's the type to understand only when people are straightforward.

Then it'll never work out for me.

Why didn't you tell him? The timing was good.

What if I never see him again?

Once you confess your feelings, you can't take it back.

That's true.

Because he might not want to see you anymore.

I can go on my own from here.

It might be hard for them to clean up. You should go first.

Ju Won told me to watch you getting on the bus.

Let's go.

Okay.

(Incoming call)

(Incoming call)

Why do you keep calling me?

Leave me alone when I'm not picking up.

San Ha.

It's you, So Hee.

I said you mistook her for someone else,

but it didn't seem to work.

She fell asleep while crying.

What did you think I would say to make her call me?

Not a good thing, obviously.

Don't use her...

as a shield.

I'll talk to her later.

How did the exam go?

I called you to ask you that.

Have you decided on the school you want to apply to?

Not yet.

There must be candidates.

If you come to Seoul, we're going to meet often anyway.

I should know in advance to help you.

No. I'll go to a college here.

Do you want to live in the countryside all your life?

Is that all you're capable of?

Yes. That's all I'm capable of.

I guess you won't see me unless I'm bedridden and dying.

- Why are you speaking like... - I'm hanging up.

I guess that's my limit.

Who are you calling?

I'm calling the administrative office...

to ask for a quote on a banner.

Did you tell your father that you're applying...

to Seoul National University College of Medicine?

Hold on a second.

What's his number?

I've been telling you for a year. I'll go to Myungjoo University.

I said I would talk with your father.

No.

Why would I leave home and suffer...

when I have a warm house and warm food?

Why do you want to go to Myungjoo University so badly?

It's the closest to my house.

Hey.

Not everyone can go to Yeonhee University even if they want to.

And you say what? It's the closest to your house?

Do you have treasure at your home or something?

Don't you want to play basketball...

in a better place?

Why do you play basketball?

It's because I took after my father.

Anyway, I'm going to win against the Seoul kids this time.

Even if I go to Myungjoo University, if I win against kids from Seoul...

and everyone else, it doesn't matter, does it?

You little...

Hey. You little...

Don't avoid it. You're joking around again.

We can do it. Don't worry.

Hey, it's starting soon!

Yes!

Let's go!

Hurry up.

Let's go!

- San Ha. - Why is it so...

Didn't you call my father?

He told me to let you apply to the college you want.

Are you laughing? How can you laugh?

They say people should go to Seoul,

and horses go to Jeju Island.

And you were even born in Seoul. Why do you not want to go there?

Think about it.

If you sow peas, you reap peas. If you sow beans, you reap beans.

If beans grow when you sowed peas,

you should move them to the bean field, right?

I'm not sure if this is going to work.

- Let's go! - I'm excited!

- Hurry up. - I said no.

Let's hurry up.

We don't have time. Hurry up.

Hurry up and come!

- It's a nice seat. - Right?

- Do you like basketball? - No.

Just like a rock.

I can sit with you during the game.

Do you think I'll miss the chance?

- Do you want to switch seats? - No.

Yes.

Do you know him?

He attended our school until his first year.

He wasn't included in the starting lineup because of Hae Jun.

He said he would learn from a professional basketball player...

and transferred to a school in Seoul.

Why is he acting like that then?

Don't care about him. Just don't get injured. That's our priority.

(Haedong High School)

It's been a while.

Hey, come by later if you can!

Got it?

- We should just go. - Let's go.

- Let's eat a lot in his place. - Good job today.

I'm glad that his team won.

Is that so?

Then I'll have dinner with Dae Wook.

Okay. Call me if you guys are coming home late.

Okay.

Goodness.

What are you doing here?

- This is my restaurant. - Exactly!

You should've been there to watch the historical moment.

What are you doing right now? Carrying mere groceries?

Unbelievable. Get in.

I won't.

(Yoon's Kalguksu)

I...

Come on. I knew it.

(Yoon's Kalguksu, Welcome)

I see that the envelope has gotten bigger.

Last year, this school sent its basketball players...

to three prestigious universities. It's a well-known high school.

Why didn't you tell me Hae Jun was a talented basketball player?

Did you hide that from me?

Why are you talking to me without honorifics?

I mean, I hear that parents go crazy when their kids have no talent.

But who knew I would go crazy because my son is super talented?

Why would you go crazy if he's super talented?

I'm well aware that Hae Jun is very talented.

But I didn't go crazy.

You...

Gosh. Come on.

Well, that's what's driving me crazy.

If you know how talented he is,

you should've sent him to Seoul.

I heard all those kids from Seoul took lessons...

from professional players.

But Hae Jun has been training...

in the countryside without a proper coach.

Imagine how talented he must be...

to have beaten those kids!

How great would it have been...

if you had sent him to a basketball camp when he was younger?

He would have had some kind of title by now.

What were you planning...

for his future?

If you can't help him with that, I'll do it! Okay?

Why are you getting in the way of his future?

What?

You little...

Get in the way of his future? How dare you?

- Stop it. - Gosh.

This man here comes to his restaurant at 5am...

to start on the dough.

Then he goes home at 7am to feed the kids.

He did that for ten years!

He did that every single day for ten years for a child...

you abandoned because you didn't want him!

Well, I know that kids need food to grow up and all.

Besides, there's so much food now that kids don't starve.

And I'm talking about his future...

from a much more elevated perspective.

- That jerk. - Come on.

You see, a tragedy doesn't begin from a failed attempt.

It begins from a state of complacency.

And you are...

causing the tragedy of my son, Yang Hae Jun.

Hae Jun is a Kang!

Who do you think you are?

You can't just change his last name as you please!

Goodness.

Unbelievable.

If he goes to the US, he will go on my dime.

How can you afford that?

That's for me to figure out.

I own this restaurant.

This sad little restaurant?

This old thing? I can't even tell when it was built.

- You jerk! - Gosh.

- You know what? You just wait. - Oh, dear.

My goodness. Fine! Whatever!

Unbelievable. Gosh, that jerk.

That stupid rat.

You jerk.

Darn it.

You jerk!

- His name is Yang Hae Jun. - What?

I don't care what you say! He's still my son!

Hey!

Take that!

I can't believe that jerk's guts.

My gosh. That jerk is super fast.

Why are you going through those?

Hey, let me take a look.

It doesn't cost money to look at them.

My gosh.

This school does have a basketball team.

I don't even know where to look to get this kind of information.

What if you do?

Will you send Hae Jun to that jerk?

No way.

No.

My gosh. I don't have to take this kind of treatment from anyone.

Why is he running on the street like that?

Gosh.

Why did you go to my dad again?

What did you say to him?

What? Did that annoying brat tell you everything?

What did you say to him?

Get in.

Gosh.

Then do you want to talk about this out on the street?

It's been over a year since I stopped consuming flour.

I'm not here to eat.

What did you say to my dad?

Your dad?

It's what I asked you before...

about you playing basketball in the US.

- I told you I wasn't going. - You must.

I watched you play today.

- I'm not going! - You will.

Why are you getting mad?

I offered to help you, but you turned down my offer.

I should be the one who's mad.

Let's be honest. Your dad...

If that man meant that he raised you like his own son,

he would ask you to go with me.

If he's stopping you,

it just means he doesn't think of you as his real son.

Stop talking nonsense.

Why would he send his real son away?

For his success.

What kind of parent would let his son rot in the countryside...

and deny him the opportunity of getting a great education?

I can do everything I want right here.

- Gosh. - That's my answer.

Bye.

- Hey. - What?

You...

Do you think it was easy to build this much wealth...

because my life has been nothing but sunshine and rainbows?

What are you talking about?

It means I've played close to the edge to get to where I am.

See what I would do if I were to change my approach to this.

I can easily force a mere restaurant in this small town...

to close down even by tomorrow.

Don't be ridiculous.

If you're curious, keep holding out.

I made myself clear.

Don't do anything to my dad.

If you're curious about what I'll do,

try it.

Look at him throwing a tantrum.

Cute.

See what I would do if I were to change my approach to this.

I can easily force a mere restaurant in this small town...

to close down even by tomorrow.

Darn it.

Are you still at the after-party?

If you're still hungry, come home and have more food.

Forget it. I made it crystal clear that I didn't want to go.

If he comes back, I'll tell him to leave again.

Right.

(Golden Brown Glutinous Fish-shaped Buns)

That guy came back again? Why?

He'll ask Hae Jun to go to the US with him.

But once he goes back to the US, he won't come back.

What if Hae Jun can't put his foot down and say no?

No way.

He wants to go to a university that's close to home. But the US?

That's not possible.

Yes, you're right.

By the way,

this is so good.

Stop eating.

You said it was good.

Be patient. Let's have them at home with everyone.

Sir, could you give us two bags...

and mix the red bean buns and cream buns evenly?

Sure. Coming right up.

- Close it. - No, they have to be crispy.

- Should I just have one? - Let's have them at home.

I thought you went to an after-party.

Did you not get enough food?

No.

Sure.

- Take your time and eat a lot. - Okay.

I'm asking just in case.

So you beat those kids from Seoul today.

And I hear they're really good.

Yes.

I see.

And you beat such an elite team...

Then do you want...

to play basketball in a bigger league?

Why all of a sudden? Did someone say something?

Well, I hear people go to the US these days...

to learn basketball and stuff.

I've been busy with the restaurant these days.

So I didn't get to watch your games.

People in the neighborhood tell me that you're too good...

to stay here and play basketball.

Who?

What?

Well, you know, just people.

It's not like I can hop on a bus to go to Seoul or the US.

How could I go there and live on my own?

Well, you can still think about it.

Gosh.

The blue crabs today are great.

- My gosh. - So did he just leave?

Yes.

I told him to leave and never to come back.

Where did you buy this?

It's the best fish-shaped bun I had lately.

Slow down.

How can I eat more slowly than this?

Who's that? It's late.

(Incoming call)

My mom.

You won't answer it?

It's probably So Hee. I accidentally yelled at her before.

Keep eating.

- Okay. - Okay.

Hello.

What?

Dad!

Mom...

Mom was in an accident.

So Hee's father in the driver's seat...

passed away.
