(Under the Gun)

You seemed to be in a bad mood, so I just wanted to check in on you.

It's nothing.

Tell me. What's going on?

My dear daughter, you're hurting my feelings here.

I'm your biggest cheerleader, Se Young.

From the moment you were born until now.

Mom.

There's this boy I like.

But the thing is,

he keeps thinking stupid thoughts.

I had no other intention.

I just wanted to help improve his situation.

That's why I did it.

But he...

He looked at me with sad eyes, as if I hurt him.

And that really broke my heart.

If he cares for you too,

he must know how you feel even if you don't tell him.

You see, love can throw you off balance sometimes,

but it can also help you find a greater balance in life.

That's life. It helps you grow as a person.

You might think love is all sunshine and rainbows,

but a love that breaks your heart is also love.

It means you truly love the person...

and care for them.

I don't know who he is, but he's one lucky guy.

My daughter loves him this much.

(Court)

Defendant Ko Gun, please come forward.

(Defendant)

Even though you are a minor,

you frequented an illegal gambling den...

to engage in illegal gambling activities,

and you also worked there.

This violates the Game Industry Promotion Act...

as well as Article 246.1 and Article 247 of the Penal Code.

(Judge)

Mr. Ko.

You may give your closing argument.

(Defendant)

"Your Honor."

"I am Defendant Ko Gun, who is being tried for illegal gambling."

Around 10pm on August 21, 2022,

"I was arrested at an apartment in Inje-go..."

"for engaging in illegal gambling activities."

"I deeply regret what I did."

I will make sure this never happens again.

This statement I wrote...

won't show you my sincerity.

(Judge)

I swear...

I never gambled.

Your Honor, even if I were to be faced with the same situation,

I would make the exact same choice.

Picking up cigarettes as an errand boy and getting beaten up.

I did those things to pay my sister's hospital bills.

I couldn't find any jobs that paid better.

I knew it was wrong,

but I had no choice.

Even so,

I sincerely regret what I did.

I promise you that I won't do it again.

(Judge)

(Petition)

(Your Honor, I'm Jang Jun Chul from Sunhwa High School.)

(Petition, Cha Se Young)

(I could not believe it when I heard Gun was involved...)

(in an illegal gambling case.)

We received...

many petitions from your school.

Mr. Ko.

Even if you didn't do anything you should be ashamed of,

it's important to live an honest life.

I'm very sorry to hear about your sister's situation,

but one wrong choice...

can completely destroy your future.

Never forget that.

I will announce the court's decision.

Mr. Ko...

did violate the Game Industry Promotion Act,

but considering that he has no previous record...

and that he is still a minor...

as well as his circumstances,

the court sentences him to 100 hours of community service.

Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you so much.

Son!

(Defendant)

- My gosh, this is nuts. - It's crazy indeed.

I knew it.

- What will happen to him now? - Will he go to juvie?

I have no idea. What is he going to do?

I knew he would...

This is nuts.

My gosh. A high school student participating in illegal gambling?

- He's got some nerve. - Yes, indeed.

What's that?

How come the atmosphere suddenly changed when I walked in?

It's nothing.

What is it?

(Like Father Like Son, Both Illegal Gamblers)

(Professional Hold'em Player K's Son Arrested for Illegal Gambling)

- I knew it. - What will happen to him now?

I have no idea. What is he going to do?

Seriously, what's he going to do now? He's doomed.

This is crazy.

Be quiet, all of you.

You guys.

You're only interested in gossip.

Have you ever shown concern for your classmate, even just once?

Shouldn't you at least ask him if he's okay, knowing what happened?

And you guys think you're his friends?

Anyone who says mean things...

or spreads false rumors...

will pay for it.

If you hurt him, I'll teach you a lesson. I don't care who you are.

- Let's go. - Go where?

Come on. Let's get out of here.

I'm hungry.

Yesterday, you left as if you'd never see me again.

You frustrated me so much yesterday.

I felt like I was starting to hate you.

But today...

Today, what?

Today, I'm back to liking you.

What are you, really?

What do you mean, what am I?

Hurry up and eat something...

so you can perk up.

Hey.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why? You really don't know?

Because I like you.

My mom told me...

that love could throw you off balance sometimes...

but that it could help you find a greater balance in life.

I don't really get what that means.

You dummy.

Because of you, I'm all out of balance right now.

But thanks to you,

I'm in the process of finding a greater balance.

Hey, where are you going?

I have somewhere to be.

The Hold'em pub?

- Se Young. - Yes?

I said a while back...

that fate...

was like taekwondo or the piano.

It's nice to have, but you can live without it.

Then you said,

"You can't live your life if you think like that."

You know very well...

that I can't afford to think about stuff like that.

I'll go my way now.

You should do the same.

Gun.

I realized once again...

that I shouldn't get greedy.

- Get greedy for what? - You know that you and I...

were given very different starting lines.

- Gun, what are you talking about? - Cha Se Young.

Thanks for everything.

I'll be off, then.

(Cha Se Young)

How could you leave without listening to what I had to say?

Why is it that you always take off after saying what you need to say?

They say fate finds those who can withstand the weight of life.

I'll be your fate,

your destiny that finds you because you're too busy to come to me.

I'll go to you,

- so... - Se Young.

All you need to do is...

You don't need to do anything.

Just like me back, please.

Hey, Cha Se Young.

Hey, I like you.

Gun, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at school?

I skipped class to see you.

Whatever. Aren't you playing hooky because you don't want to study?

Bingo.

Hey, how are you feeling?

Look at me. Can't you tell?

Oh, you seem energetic.

My doctor also said I didn't look like someone with leukemia.

He said I was cheerful and mentally strong.

Really? I see, Ms. Ko Jun Hee.

Hey, Dad was here in the morning.

He said something interesting.

What did he say?

- That you'd participate in KPL. - What?

He said you guys played Hold'em last night.

He laughed and said he was no match for you.

For the first time in so long, I got to see Dad laugh so heartily.

Now, you should challenge yourself for your own good.

You'll lose everything if you keep hesitating like that.

You're talking like a grandma.

There are some things you can only see once you fall ill.

If only I didn't have to stay in the hospital...

You see, there are so many things I want to do.

You're at least in good health,

so you can do more things than I can.

My gosh. Are you crying?

No, I'm not.

Don't cry. You're as big as a bear.

Stop limiting yourself because of us.

If you don't need it, throw it away yourself.

Stop limiting yourself because of us.

I kept you waiting long, didn't I?

Did you see your sister?

Yes.

How is she?

She's doing pretty well.

I'm glad to hear that.

About the tournament,

I decided to do it.

What?

I kept being stubborn and tried to push you away.

I'm sorry.

When I see you... How should I put this?

I feel so small.

I think that's why I kept trying to push you away.

Fine, I'll give it a shot.

You made the right decision.

I'm not talking about Hold'em.

I mean, you.

I like you too, Se Young.

This time, I should say it first.

Would you go out with me?

What's wrong?

Well, it's just...

What can I do?

Can you tell me again that you like me?

What?

I want to hear it again.

I like you.

I like you. I love you.

- Gosh, stop. - I like you.

- Hey, by the way... - What?

What if you keep following me around like this...

and can't get into college?

I don't know.

It's all your fault.

I don't know!

Good luck, Gun.

I'll do a good job, for you and Jun Hee.

No, do it for yourself. So you won't have any regrets later.

Okay, all right.

Come here.

- Go on in. - I'll see you later.

- Hey, Gun. Hello. - Yes, hi.

Here.

- What's this? - A gift from me.

- A gift? - That's right, buddy.

Your place is very far from this hotel.

You can't keep going back and forth.

So I booked a room for you.

You need to be well-rested to play well, you know?

- Ji Chul. - I'm not giving it to you for free.

Win and pay me back double.

Consider this an investment.

Thanks, Ji Chul.

We'll split the prize money 70-30.

- Thief. - What? You little...

Just be glad that I'm not asking for a 40-percent cut.

You want a 30-percent cut? Dream on.

- So you'd better stay focused. - Hey, Gun.

Oh, hello.

I said you didn't need to come until the finals.

I wanted to give you this.

- What is it? - My good luck charm.

- Good luck charm? - Yes.

From my English test and the TOEIC...

to going out with you...

Anyway, it has made all my wishes come true.

It's going to protect you in my place.

Good luck, okay?

Hey, lovebirds. It must be nice.

Old bachelors like me should just drop dead or something.

Hurry up and go inside, or they won't let you in.

Bye.

Wait, make sure you eat well.

And you have to text me!

I'll study hard.

Goodness. If others saw this,

they'd think he was going away for days.

Hello.

Thank you.

It's cute.

(Tae Ha, You Are My World)

You're so handsome.

Look here, please!

(Tae Ha Forever, Joo Tae Ha)

Please step back.

I'll play fair and square.

How do you feel today?

That thing.

Oh, this.

My girlfriend gave me this.

"Girlfriend?"

Let's...

play fair and square...

and put the past behind us.

All right. The much-awaited 2022 KPL Championship...

begins now.

Darn it.

Nice, yes!

(How did it go? Can I just think no news is good news?)

(Why am I more nervous than you?)

(Can't you go to the restroom and text me back?)

(It's going well. Don't worry.)

Se Young.

What are you doing here?

I'm here because I missed you.

KPL Championship. The winner...

will get one million dollars. Round Three has begun.

Ten finalists are moving on to the finals.

Even if the odds are slim,

I want to bet on it.

No, I must.

He sure knows how to keep a poker face.

My gut tells me that Joo Tae Ha will win.

All in.
