LIKE FLOWERS IN SAND

The curtains have come down

on the 31-day global fiesta, that is the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.

Our shared journey of this emotional roller coaster

already feels like a midsummer night's dream,

but it's time to treasure this happy, unforgettable memory as a keepsake

and return to reality.

Now, today's first song.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream."

OH DU-SIK

Promise me that you'll be a champion when you grow up.

And when you become a champion, don't forget to tell people about me.

Okay?

Du-sik, wait!

Where are you going?

Oh Du-sik!

OH DU-SIK, KIM BAEK-DU 02 05 30

EPISODE 9 ALL THAT WE HAVE LOST

I thought I had to investigate myself.

People are funny.

They used to be so eager to know the truth,

but after some time, they couldn't care less.

But that's just not fair.

For both me and my dad.

That's why I came back.

Just like you did, right?

Am I wrong?

So did you find anything?

Back then, everyone said Jun was the culprit.

But I didn't think so.

Choi Chil-seong.

After he came to Geosan,

match-fixing and illegal gambling started happening.

So I thought he must be the one who harmed my dad.

I don't know how he knew,

but he started coming to my café about two months ago.

He'd always sit in the same spot,

have some coffee, and leave.

Then one day...

Enjoy.

Joo Cheol-yong.

What happened to Cheol-yong

is my fault.

Technically, I killed him.

He knew who I was.

He came because he knew me.

But what do you think he meant by,

"Technically, I killed him"?

I had to know the answer.

So I went with him.

What does that mean?

What do you mean that you technically killed him?

I shouldn't have dragged Cheol-yong into it.

It was my fault.

You can't be here either.

You've got to leave this town.

What are you talking about?

The person who killed your dad...

is in this town.

What? Sir.

Wait, sir.

Wait. Take this.

Take this 40,000 won.

Sir.

It's your money. Come on. Take it.

Wait.

You need to take this 40,000 won.

- Keeping this... - Then, unfortunately...

It would make me feel guilty.

We ran into some drunkard.

Why are you looking at me?

Are you talking about me?

You kept insisting he should take 40,000 won...

No, I don't think you have to talk about that here.

Did Choi Chil-seong really say

that the person who harmed your dad was here?

His phone kept ringing.

He kept ignoring it, but in the end, he picked up.

And it seemed

that he was arguing with someone.

I couldn't hear it though. He was far away.

Let's meet here.

What do you mean? You didn't tell me any...

Come here tomorrow.

Then I'll tell you everything.

62-9 BUKNAM-DONG ROOM 304, ROSE INN

Everything you want to know and have to know.

So just leave for now.

That was it.

When I woke up the next morning, the whole neighborhood was in shock.

Apparently, a car was towed out of the reservoir,

and there was a body inside.

That was the end.

I'm one unlucky girl.

Wait.

What about the plan to meet again?

He said to meet him there.

Rose Inn in Buknam-dong?

It seemed that he was staying there before he died.

He said if I went there, he'd tell me everything he knew

and give me something.

I think this was it.

It was in the middle of the empty room.

Wait. Let me open it.

Hey.

It's money.

Did he want to give it to me?

Jeez, how much is that?

Well, it doesn't matter, does it?

All I wanted was to find out who killed my dad and why.

That's all I needed to know.

Anyway, that's all I know.

Now, I'll trust you and wait.

Because you're a cop.

Hey.

She knows everything.

I appreciate that she told us all this,

but I still don't get what it means.

Do you get it?

I do.

And you should too.

What?

Do you still not recognize her?

No. Who is she?

It's her.

JOO CHEOL-YONG

Uncle Cheol-yong's daughter.

Joo Mi-ran.

What?

Du-sik, did you really come back to Geosan because of that?

Is that it?

I thought you wouldn't want to think about what happened then.

Hey.

I was cleaning the house a few days ago

and found my old diary.

And all I wrote about there was playing.

Apparently, I was all about playing around then.

One day,

I went to the mountains with you guys

and played there until the sun went down.

I had such a blast

that I wrote this at the bottom of the page.

"I wish

this moment would last forever."

Maybe that jinxed it.

Soon after, everything fell apart.

By the way, did you really not recognize Mi-ran in the past three years?

Hey, Kim Baek-du.

Yeah? What?

Did you really not know Mi-ran was Uncle Cheol-yong's daughter?

Right. Mi-ran.

No, I really didn't know.

You know the show, The Masked Singer?

On that show, people don't recognize the contestants

by their voices.

But do you know what's more embarrassing?

Even after they take off their masks,

some people still don't recognize them.

That's how I feel right now.

Uncle Cheol-yong's daughter, Joo Mi-ran...

Du-sik.

To be honest, if I were her, I would've just taken the money.

I mean, objectively speaking...

Realistically,

it's good to get some compensation.

You think that's going to compensate for everything?

No amount of money would make up for it.

Think about what she lost.

Though I can't speak for her,

she's probably felt like one foot was stuck in mud all her life.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get out.

And nobody came to help her out.

Imagine living stuck like that all your life.

No money can comfort someone who...

Was that how you felt?

What?

Have you felt

stuck in the mud like that, since you left this place?

Me?

For me, there have been ups and downs.

One day,

anything related to ssireum and Geosan would make me shake with anger,

and the next,

thinking about my life here would bring a smile to my face.

I keep trying to deny it,

but I guess my childhood here as Oh Du-sik must've been the happiest time of my life.

Oh, well. You wouldn't understand.

You haven't lost anything in life, so you wouldn't understand what it's like.

What?

What do you mean, I haven't lost anything?

What is it?

What is it that you've lost?

- Many things and... - So tell me.

Many things and what?

Well...

I've lost something too.

Because of her, I...

I...

That was the wind.

Go wash up and eat.

Okay.

Dad.

What?

Back then,

we shouldn't have let Du-sik's family leave like that.

We should have done whatever we could

to make them stay here.

Then...

I know they're twins,

but how could they place 197th and 198th?

They did a pretty good job.

Babe, these days, they don't have 500 to 600 students at school

like in the old days.

They have a little more than 200 students.

Really? Then their grades are almost the lowest in school.

Jeez, their parents must be so worried.

Their mom is actually thinking of asking Uk to tutor them.

Yeong-uk?

If he had taken the same exam, he would've placed 199th.

No, not that Uk. Hyeon-uk.

Remember the new general manager of the ssireum team?

- Her husband. - I see.

He's unemployed at the moment,

but apparently, he was a pretty smart kid back in school.

No wonder he sounds quite knowledgeable

when he speaks.

Well, that smart man has no idea what his wife is up to, though.

What do you mean?

What?

You seem to have some juicy gossip.

- What? - Do you?

I think this could be a bit dangerous to share.

Do you remember what I said the other day?

At the terminal, Baek-du...

He was happily chatting with some girl.

You never forget those kinds of stories, do you?

What about it?

Actually...

- I think I saw the girl's face. - Really?

And I think she is...

That's what I think.

- Baek-du and her? - Yes.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, that came out of nowhere.

I guess this is it.

Anyway, we can go back to Seoul now. Right?

I can't believe she hasn't told me this important information all this time.

She impresses me in so many ways.

Did she say anything else?

Maybe there's more.

"Technically, I killed him."

What?

"The person who killed your dad is in this town."

"So leave this town."

This is what Choi said to Mi-ran.

What do you think it means?

That the murderer is someone else

and they're in the town now?

So who is the murderer? Did he tell her?

I think he tried to tell her that night,

but he got a call and left urgently.

If only we had Choi's phone right now...

So how much is it?

You wanted us to count it? I didn't touch it to avoid temptation.

I'd say about one billion won?

One billion?

Yes, this bag is about the size of my safe.

It must be about one billion.

Maybe you don't know.

Anyway, we found the ledger.

Now what? Is there more to find?

Oh, are we going back to Seoul then?

You sound excited.

Back there, you'll have to work overtime every...

I'll stay here.

I'll go back after catching the culprit who killed Choi.

Come on, Yu-gyeong.

We can do that back in Seoul too.

- We'll ask the Violent Crimes Team... - I'll catch them.

I want to catch them myself.

You've gone through a lot to get this far, and you won't stop?

And you? Do you want to go back or stay here?

You decide.

Come on, Captain.

Of course, I've lost something too.

I've lost the... You know...

That thing...

Where's my wrist guard?

I don't see my wrist guard.

It's got to be somewhere here.

Why are you so surprised? Did you see a ghost?

Are you sure you want people to see this?

It's got to be here.

Mom, where's my wrist guard?

- Move, you punk. - Move!

Move, you bastard!

What's the big deal? What is it?

What is it about?

The woman and the man love each other.

And she isn't so well-off while he's quite rich.

So it's been a roller coaster for the two, going back and forth and squabbling.

And they finally decided to get married.

But the man's mother hates her so much.

When she went to meet her mom to end everything, she realized

that they knew each other.

So what happened

is that the man's mom got married young and had a child.

But then she fell in love with some rich old man.

So she gave her son to her friend

and married this old man, pretending it's her first time.

And the truth is being revealed.

That's so complicated.

So what's the message?

That those who have affairs pay the price someday.

Keep that in mind.

I can forgive you for being incompetent, unsuccessful,

and not getting married,

but I'll never forgive you for doing nasty things like that.

I'll literally cut off your limbs if you ever break someone's heart.

Jeez, that's just not enough!

He deserves to be struck by lightning!

He's not Pikachu. What do you mean, lightning?

Hey!

That won't be enough.

We should strip him and make him a human lightning rod on a building!

I had no idea Baek-du was that kind of boy.

I thought he was an innocent kid. I feel so betrayed.

Kids like him can get reckless

when they're into something.

Jeez, I'm not sure about this.

If this spreads, I'll be in big trouble.

I told you not to tell anyone.

Babe, this kind of matter should be shared

and discussed together so we can plan what to do.

This is a serious issue.

- She's right. - Yes!

We're talking about infidelity here.

Seriously.

Are you sure it was her?

Maybe you mistook her for someone else.

I think it was her.

As soon as I saw the two at the terminal,

I thought, "Isn't that the ssireum team's general manager?"

Come on. That's not enough proof.

This is a crucial issue that may cause a bloodbath in Geosan.

We need solid evidence.

But what can we do?

Let's go and check for ourselves.

Captain, I still...

Put the bag in the car first.

- But... - Put the bag in first.

Why do you have to do this?

Sorry?

Staying here for the investigation.

Are you seeing someone here?

What? That's nonsense!

And your obsession with this case isn't?

Is there any other reason?

Actually, the thing is...

Well...

I'll give you ten days to catch the culprit.

I can't give you any longer.

What's that?

Did you do something wrong here?

No.

Is she the girl you saw at the terminal?

Yes.

- Are you sure? - I'm sure.

This is not good.

By the way, who's that woman next to her?

She must be her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law?

Mom.

What?

I think I lost something.

What did you lose this time?

It's not like that.

I mean, I don't know what it is.

What are you saying?

Mom, listen to me.

I lost something.

I definitely lost something. I'm sure of it.

But when someone asks me what I lost,

I can't give them the answer.

I can't give her the answer,

so she doesn't understand me, and I get upset.

I just need to know what I lost.

- Are you seeing a girl? - I'm...

It's that girl who slapped your forehead, right?

Right?

So my baby boy has been up to something other than ssireum, huh?

What's wrong? She wouldn't understand you?

- That's not it. - Who is she?

- Do I know her? - It's nothing like that. Gosh.

Come on, I'm your mom. You can tell me anything.

What's the problem? Is the relationship not going well?

Mom, please!

Jeez. Look at him all excited.

Tell me. Who is she?

I definitely saw it.

Zero, five, six.

Two...

- Hurry up! - Okay.

Nice. It's empty now.

Mi-ran, give us each a coffee.

- Bring that table there. - Okay.

- Lift this. - Okay.

Make sure to put them back later.

- Okay. - Sit down.

- Have a seat. - Okay.

Here. Have a seat.

Sit down, guys.

Okay.

All right.

This is more than just a love affair.

- Right. - I agree.

If Tae-baek finds out about this...

Baek-du will be dead meat.

Do you guys remember that incident?

What?

When Han-ra was a high school senior,

he tried smoking cigarettes with friends after the college entrance exam.

But Tae-baek caught him

and knocked some sense into him with all kinds of ssireum techniques.

I heard that after that day,

he shakes like a leaf whenever he sees a cigarette.

I heard that Han-ra's recent checkup results showed

that his lungs were as healthy as a 7-year-old's.

A seven-year-old?

- No way. - Seven?

- You heard him. - Yes.

If Tae-baek finds this out, Baek-du will be dead meat.

- Right. - Right?

So all of you, keep your mouths shut.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Keep quiet. - Mi-ran, you too.

I will keep quiet

if you tell me who Baek-du is involved with in this affair.

Well, it's...

Wait.

What was her name?

Yu-gyeong! Oh Yu-gyeong!

Oh Yu-gyeong!

Keep quiet, okay?

I knew this would happen one day.

One, two, three, four.

One, two...

Six, seven...

Thirteen.

- Twenty-one. - Sixty-eight.

Hey, what's up?

What?

What did you just say?

It's the talk of the town right now.

I'm not lying to you.

Do you know anything about it?

I mean, you're with them all the time.

So I thought you might know

if there's something going on between them.

Mom, Baek-du may be foolish sometimes,

but he's not that reckless.

All right.

Keep pushing.

- We got this. - Let's do this.

Hey, Kim Baek-du!

You.

Live a moral life, okay?

What did I do?

You...

If you live immorally like that,

you'll end up in hell.

Jeez, who goes to hell for skipping some numbers?

Yes!

Right, Baek-du?

Where's Baek-du?

He said something came up, so we should play without him.

But we need him here. He loses every bet.

Did he say it'd take long?

I don't know.

I saw him entering the general manager's office.

What? Again?

He goes to that office all the time.

Maybe he likes her.

- Oh, come on. - What? Why not?

He does.

Listen. Two adults see and greet each other every day.

They could totally develop feelings for each other.

You're right!

She even recommended

Baek-du as the coach out of the blue.

Right. The other day, before the championship,

Baek-du carried her on his back

when he was running to lose weight.

- Right! - He was smiling all along!

- Now, I get it! - He got it.

My intuition is telling me that this is right.

- You know I'm intuitive. - I do.

There's definitely something going on between...

But Ms. Oh is married.

Ho-deok, you're out.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Drop that stare if you don't want to die.

Okay.

Why did you come to work so late today?

Mi-suk came by.

Oh, Mi-suk.

Is Mi-suk really still not married?

She had one short marriage, and she's single now.

Is that so?

No wonder. She's a very proactive woman.

Hey.

Do you have something to tell me?

What is it?

Well...

Look.

I lost a lot of things too.

What?

After you left like that, I lost a lot of things too.

What are they?

What?

What did you lose? You just said you lost a lot of things.

Right.

Anchovy gimbap.

What?

Remember I used to love anchovy gimbap?

When we were young, we used to eat it a lot.

But after you left for Seoul,

I couldn't eat anchovy gimbap because seeing it reminded me of you.

That's one thing I lost.

There's more.

I also lost a good ssireum partner.

I've been thinking,

and I made the junior champion

all because you and I used to practice ssireum all the time.

That's how I became a junior champion.

So after you left,

I lost my ssireum partner.

You know? And...

You know what? Go.

I don't have time for chitchat. I'm busy.

I have only ten days now.

Ten days? What do you mean?

I promised to Mi-suk that I'd solve the case

and go back to Seoul in ten days.

What? Ten days?

You're going back to Seoul in ten days?

I should. What else can I do?

How strange. I definitely put it here.

Darn it.

Oh, here it is.

If you have nothing else to say...

Baek-du and who?

You know the couple that lives at the end of the alley.

- She's the wife. - Hey!

That makes no sense.

Are you saying there's something going on between Baek-du and that married woman?

Well, according to the rumor, yes.

Jeez, you clearly don't know Baek-du.

He may be too soft and silly sometimes,

but he's not a scumbag.

If he were, I wouldn't be friends with him now.

But look at him standing there. The rumor can't be entirely baseless.

What's he doing there?

He must be shocked.

His wife is having an affair with another man.

See? He's totally stunned.

Is this what he meant by the evil girl?

Don't you run your mouth about this.

Okay.

Captain. I'll stay with Yu-gyeong and go back in ten days.

I'm such a sweet junior.

How could she be like that?

Is she not sad about it?

How could she say she's going back to Seoul like it's nothing?

How cold-hearted.

By the way, isn't the atmosphere in the town odd lately?

- Why? - What about the atmosphere?

Well, it's...

I don't know how to describe it.

How should I put it?

When I walk on the street,

I feel eyes on the back of my head.

You too?

- I felt the same. - Right?

Yes. And someone even told me that I should knock sense into my brother.

But I have no idea which one they meant.

- Who said that? - The supermarket owner.

- He said that? - Yeah!

He can't have said that about me.

The money I spent on snacks there should be enough

to cover one full month's rent.

What?

It's not me either. I didn't do anything wrong.

Why are you looking at me?

I'm telling you.

The atmosphere is somehow different.

What do you mean? Different how?

Well, before, they saw me as a handsome, stylish, smart,

but humble, personable,

witty and charming man. But now...

You must have lost your mind.

These days, I feel like they're kind of pitying me.

- What's wrong with that? - What?

Now, they must see the real you.

Where's the problem?

- Well... - Gosh, you're...

You're so weird.

But something has definitely changed.

- Oh, my. - It's Baek-du.

Hi.

Hi.

"Hi"? I can't believe him.

Look at him looking so happy.

Why are they staring at me like that?

Isn't she that woman?

Who?

Oh, that's her?

How could that fine-looking woman do that?

I know, right?

She can probably do that because she looks fine, you know?

You're right. Goodness.

She looks quiet and coy, though.

You think so?

I know a bit about reading people,

and her face says she's not.

- Really? - Really?

- Who? - Oh, hi.

Who were you gossiping about?

Yu-gyeong?

Don't you have work to do?

Jeez.

What are they whispering about?

Yu-gyeong.

Hey, what's up?

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Right now?

The coffee machine isn't turned on yet, so...

I see.

So do you have something to tell me?

Yes, I remembered something.

It's about the phone call he got when we were in his car.

I'm not entirely sure,

but I think the number started with 056.

Zero-five-six-two...

Zero-five-six? That's...

The region code of this area.

By the way, you must be in quite a fix.

- What do you mean? - Don't you know?

There's a juicy scandal unfolding in this town right now.

Guess who's involved?

I'm not sure.

You and Baek-du.

You should've been careful.

Everyone's fussing about it now.

They're determined to split you up before his parents find out.

Unbelievable.

I thought you should know.

You've been through this already.

Once word spreads,

people won't care whether it's really true or not.

They'll just believe it.

They haven't changed a bit.

Keep going. It's about tenacity.

Keep holding out.

- Jeong-hun, hold him more tightly. - Nice.

Good. A little more.

Back out.

- Turn him. - Like this?

Let's do this.

She should've come to work a while ago, but she's still not here.

What will you nag me about this time?

What is it? Go ahead and say it.

Why is everyone acting weird today, all sneakily glancing at me?

Baek-du, you...

You seem so distracted.

Get your act together!

Is he only watching me when we train?

Jeez.

ROSE INN

Apparently, the man who was staying here died in an accident.

I don't know

if she was his daughter or niece,

but some young woman came the other day

and took everything in this room, saying he was never coming back.

Right. I heard about it.

Why did you want to check this room, Detective?

Did that man have some problem?

When he rented this room,

did he give you his phone number or something?

Well, he paid the entire rent upfront in cash.

So I didn't need his phone number.

I didn't even ask him.

USED CARS

Has anyone else stayed in this room since then?

No way.

He paid for a few months upfront.

Whether he was dead or alive,

I thought it'd be only right not to rent it out during his rental period.

So I left the room untouched.

Hey, aren't you going home?

You can go.

Let's go.

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

Why hasn't she come to work yet?

People might find this suspicious.

Hey, Du-sik!

- Hey. - What?

Why are you so late?

I've been waiting for you here.

Waiting for me? Why?

I have something to tell you.

Okay. What is it?

Well, it's just that...

By the way, you shouldn't be late to work like this.

People will find it suspicious.

"Something's fishy about that manager."

"Maybe she's not really a manager."

What if a weird rumor like this spreads?

That's not the rumor you should worry about.

Do you know what rumors are going around about you and me?

- About you and me? - Yes.

Mi-ran told me that...

There's a rumor going around in this town, that we're dating.

What?

Dating?

That makes sense!

That's why people have been whispering around me

and giving me the evil eye.

- Now I get it. - What?

- Never mind. - What are you talking about?

So what did you say to Mi-ran?

I said it wasn't true, of course.

Oh, you said it wasn't true. I see.

Because it's not.

So if someone asks you

what's going on between us

and if we're really dating, you should say,

"No way! Not in a million years!"

"If you keep spreading this weird rumor,

I'll sue you for defamation and spreading false rumors,

under the Criminal Act, Article 307, Paragraph 2."

Put your foot down like that.

What now? Why are you pouting again?

What do you mean?

Anyway, be careful not to fuel this rumor.

You know,

once a rumor spreads, it can become unstoppable.

Why aren't you saying anything?

- Be careful, okay? - Fine.

I'll explain to people that it's not true. Happy now?

What the...

Hey! What is it that you wanted to say to me?

Kim Baek-du!

What's wrong with him?

There's nothing going on?

How could there be nothing between us?

There's at least a friendship.

And even though it was a mistake,

we even did that thing too.

So the rumor isn't completely false.

- Come here. - What's wrong?

- We need to talk. - What's this about?

- What's going on? - Just follow us.

Are you bullying me?

What are you talking about?

I'll tell my dad about this!

- Your dad? - Gosh!

You little brat.

You have no idea what's going on right now, do you?

We're actually trying to save you from your dad, you idiot.

What are you talking about?

Baek-du.

What's your relationship with that woman named Oh Yu-gyeong?

What?

Rumor has it that there's something going on between you two.

Is that true?

He's not saying anything. There must really be something.

Don't you know that's infidelity?

And that's a horrible thing to do, you brat!

Jeez, as they say, it's always the quiet ones.

I'm really disappointed, you know.

Baek-du.

You better end it when it's just us warning you. Understand?

Guys.

If that's what all this is about, don't you worry.

Because that's absolute nonsense.

Listen. Between the two of us,

there is nothing going on.

Not in a million years.

If you keep spreading this weird rumor, I will... You know...

I will sue you all according to some law.

I'm putting my foot down.

This is what you were all fussing about? Jeez.

- Wait, then... - Well...

What is he muttering about?

Hey, Jin-suk doesn't know about it yet, right?

No, she doesn't.

Maybe I should spill it all out.

No way. Think about what will happen afterward.

I'm just saying. I'm not crazy, you know.

It's just that she keeps cluelessly saying that she kind of likes her,

that we shouldn't bully a newcomer, and things like that.

My gosh.

Once she finds out she's seeing Baek-du,

- she's going to regret it. - This is so upsetting.

I think it'll happen soon, though.

- Why? - Why?

That boy Baek-du is an open book.

He won't be able to keep it secret for long.

Actually, at their team dinner the other day,

Baek-du kept putting the cooked meat on her plate.

It was so obvious.

- My gosh. - That bastard.

And the other boys next to him

were gobbling the meat even before it was cooked.

I mean, can you believe the dedication?

He's crazy about her.

- My goodness. - Unbelievable.

Guys.

Don't tell others about this, okay?

- Of course we won't. - We won't.

If Jin-suk hears about this,

that'll be the end of us.

She's got a disastrous temper, you know.

What are you talking about?

Oh, my gosh.

- Hi, Jin-suk. - Hey.

Hey, you're here.

Hey. Were you just talking about my boy, Baek-du?

- No. - We were talking about baeksuk...

Tell me what you were talking about.

Well, it's...

Tell me now!

- Goodness. - Jeez.

Gosh, Jin-suk.

Calm down.

Let's talk back in the store.

- There are people watching here. - Right.

No, let go of me.

Tell me here, while people are watching.

Calm down, Jin-suk.

- Jin-suk. - People can hear you.

The thing is...

I don't know what to say.

- So... - Gosh.

- The thing is... - What's going on now?

There's this rumor that Baek-du is dating Yu-gyeong.

What does that mean?

You mean he's dating a married woman?

Is that what it is?

My goodness.

Baek-du! You little...

Tell me.

Is it true?

What are you talking about?

People say that you're dating this woman named Yu-gyeong.

Is that true?

Mom, don't be like this with me too.

Hey! Answer me!

If it's true, you deserve a good humiliation here,

and if it isn't true,

you deserve apologies from these people. Am I wrong?

Come on. Answer me!

Mom, it's...

Jeez, this is why they say it's always the quiet ones.

My gosh.

This is unbelievable.

I wonder what Du-sik's family will do now.

I guess they'll have to leave soon.

I feel so bad for them.

Even if they stay here,

- That poor girl. - I wouldn't like it.

- I feel so bad. - I can't believe

that Jun fixed the match.

How could he do that to Cheol-yong?

Keep it down. She might hear you.

How embarrassing.

You know what?

You won't believe me.

Even if I say it's not true, none of you here will believe me.

I know that.

What are you saying?

If you say it's not, it's not.

- What do you mean... - This has happened before!

What?

This happened to Du-sik

a long time ago.

Du-sik's family kept saying it wasn't true,

but none of you believed them. Am I wrong?

You all kicked them out in the end!

And now you're accusing people of something they didn't do,

and trying to hurt them.

Is that it?

Are you trying to kick someone out again? Is that what you want?

Please, just please.

Stop it, okay?

It can be hurtful to some people.

Most of you here probably don't know

or even care about it,

but those who are wrongfully accused

will live the rest of their lives in pain.

So please...

Just please!

Du-sik, wait!

Where are you going?

Oh Du-sik!

Oh Du-sik!

Where are you going?

Oh Du-sik!

Where are you going?

About the rumor...

- It's half right and half wrong. - What?

It may not be true to you, but it is to me.

Look, Baek-du. You've been acting really weird lately.

You say you have something to tell me, but you always end up just rambling.

- Could you just tell me... - I like you.

What?

So let's do it together.

Do what?

What you're doing now.

What you've been trying to find all your life. Let me do it with you.

Kim Baek-du, you...

You showed up out of the blue, and you're saying such weird...

Remember you asked me what I've lost?

I found the answer.

It's you.

I lost anchovy gimbap and a good ssireum partner.

But that was all because I lost you.

Since you left, they meant nothing to me.

Do you know how often I think of that night

and how much I regret it?

"I should've run faster."

"I should've called your name out louder."

No.

"I should've run out of the house earlier."

No. "I should've taken the hint

when you came to my house."

I've regretted it hundreds of thousands of times.

But I don't want to regret anything anymore.

I was too young back then

to do anything to stop you. I had to let you go.

But this time, I won't let you.

This time,

I won't just let you go like that.

Look, Oh Du-sik.

I really like you.

I really do. I like you so much.

LIKE FLOWERS IN SAND

Did you put on blusher?

Blusher? What are you talking about?

About Snowball...

I feel like someone might be unleashing her on purpose.

Why are they coming out of the same house?

Baek-du and your manager definitely have something going on.

Don't you think we should step up?

Wow, so it was true.

Yu-gyeong, you've got to focus. I'm here because of you.

I have a crush on someone else. It's Du-sik!

Baek-du, I...
