[The final episode]

Are you okay?

Why did you run like that?

I was going to go to you.

Hoo Young.

It's cold. Why are you wearing something like this?

I wanted to see you quickly.

Why are you not mad at me?

Because I'm not.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

I'm more sorry.

I'm really sorry.

You had every reason to be upset and angry.

It's not because I didn't trust you.

I projected my anxiety onto you and made it your responsibility.

Hong Ju, look at me.

It's all good. It's all good because I saw your face.

Hoo Young.

I like you.

I like you.

I know.

But I'm sure I like you more.

No. I like you much more.

It's nice and warm.

I'm home now.

You should go home quickly. Or you'll catch a cold.

Let me stay just a little bit more.

You'll catch a cold. Go home quickly.

All right. Go in then.

Okay.

Well...

Do you want to eat ramyeon?

Yes.

I'm suggesting you eat ramyeon because it's cold.

Just have ramyeon and go.

Warm up your body.

Would you like to stay under the blanket if it's cold? Never mind.

Well...

Cover yourself with this.

What's your favorite ramyeon?

I...

- like this one. - Okay. Let me cook it for you.

Gosh!

"Gosh!" That's so harsh.

Why did you get so close?

I said we would just have ramyeon.

What are you thinking other than ramyeon?

What are you talking about?

If not, don't seduce me.

You make me look forward to it.

Can I use this pot?

Yes.

Here's water.

Let's sit down on the floor and eat.

I'm light. Let's eat quickly.

Why?

Nothing.

Hoo Young.

You're good at cooking ramyeon too.

There's nothing you can't do.

Hong Ju, you keep...

You're good at many things.

You're good at your job and cool.

Wouldn't you be a better fit...

in the US where you were?

Hong Ju.

It's because I don't want you to give up...

what's precious to you because of me.

Hong Ju. I'm not good at playing games.

I'm a terrible singer too.

I broke as many as six earthen bowls in Sang Pil's restaurant.

When I'm with you,

I keep realizing what I can't do.

But I like it.

Because it makes me realize what I like and what I'm good at.

I've found things I want to do as well.

Things you want to do?

Here.

Eating ramyeon with you after work.

Going to an arcade and winning all the games...

to humble you.

Taking you somewhere you've never been before...

to see how excited you are.

Watching the animated movie produced by you in a theater...

and taking a picture of your name.

Being in the same photo...

with you.

These are my dreams.

Do you think they will come true?

They will...

come true.

- Do you think so? - Yes.

Dreams always come true.

Hoo Young, are you okay?

Hong Ju.

Why? Do you have a headache?

Are you sure this is an accident?

I think you did it on purpose.

No, it's an accident.

Even if it's an accident, you should take responsibility.

Not before finishing the ramyeon.

After we eat ramyeon...

and brush our teeth,

I won't let go of you.

Me neither.

Let's finish it quickly.

So your mother doesn't want you...

to stay in Korea?

Because my father is in Korea.

They got divorced when I was an 11th grader.

My father met another person...

and asked for forgiveness.

[10 years ago in the departure lounge...]

[at Incheon International Airport]

I think she couldn't forgive him.

We're never coming back.

[Republic of Korea]

I guess she was so hurt...

that she didn't want to come back to Korea ever again.

Yes. There is something that needs to be done urgently.

Please prepare for a video conference with the law firm.

Hey, you should've gone early in the morning, at least.

I couldn't go because you were holding my hand tight.

So it's because of me?

You're blaming others again.

- Oh, my. - Gosh.

Mom.

Good morning.

Let's go together. I'll take you to your office.

No, thanks. You should go inside and sleep more.

Why are you following me?

I'm not following you.

Then...

Is this okay with you?

What are you trying to do with me?

I'm sorry for the last time, Mother.

Why am I your mother?

Should I call you Hoo Young's Mother then?

Madam?

Do Seon.

Aunt?

Oh, right. Ma'am.

Just call me Ms. Baek.

Doesn't it sound too formal,

considering our relationship?

What are we?

We both love Hoo Young.

Do you want to fight with me or something?

No, I'm just stating the fact.

I like him a lot.

And I'm going to like his mother too.

I hope we can get along well.

Have a good day.

[Peter's Pen]

[Peter's Pen]

Does she work...

[Peter's Pen]

Even I feel like it's destiny now.

Mr. Kang.

So you really were in Korea.

You said you weren't interested in coming back to Korea.

I guess I didn't know how I felt.

Don't you know that a rumor has spread even to Korea...

that Mr. Oh will offer you something amazing?

A smart man like you...

would never refuse an offer like that.

Why don't you make an offer better than that?

Gosh.

Does Ms. Baek know what you're doing?

Ms. Baek...

knows how good I am at this.

I like your well-founded confidence like this.

You should never meet...

anyone else other than me. All right?

I knew it!

He said he would get an investment.

It means he will go independent.

Why does he disobey his mother in such a constructive way?

He's indeed...

my son.

It's not the time to be impressed.

They will accept all the conditions he wants.

Why wouldn't they?

He didn't budge an inch when they tried to recruit him.

But now, he wants to join them of his own accord.

They will take our Hoo Young away.

- Be quiet. - How can I be quiet?

It's a do-or-die situation.

I don't know. You can't take him either.

I'll keep him by my side.

My goodness!

My gosh. I knew it.

- It was unexpected. - Oh, right.

My friend went to Ko Samui...

for honeymoon recently.

- I heard it was an amazing place. - Is it in Thailand?

Yes. It's in Thailand.

Mr. Son, have you ever thought about a honeymoon destination?

No, I haven't.

He doesn't even have a girlfriend. Why would you ask him that?

Come on. I don't even have a girlfriend.

You're going to get married someday. You should think about it.

Thinking about it now is useless.

You're going to go to a place...

your wife wants to go anyway.

That's shocking.

But I couldn't do that. It's so unfair.

Mr. Son.

Can we talk for a moment?

Sure.

Should we keep doing this?

Sorry?

Dating is not a crime. Why should we keep it a secret?

Ms. Kim. There are a lot of watching eyes in school.

What about them?

What? If the rumor spreads in school,

people will gossip about you as if it's nothing.

But what's this?

You talk to me less than before we were dating.

And you avoid me when you see me.

Well, that's...

because I'm bad at hiding it.

That's what I'm saying.

Let's not hide it anymore.

I don't mind if the rumor spreads.

I'm serious.

- Really? - Yes.

Why are your hands so warm?

- Did you warm them up beforehand? - Let go of me!

I said I was sorry.

You're always being like this.

I thought it was tomorrow.

I can't switch shifts with you no matter what.

Don't ask me something like that ever again.

I won't!

Don't argue with your friend and get along well. Okay?

I'm reading a comic book.

Go on then.

Your face is more interesting to me.

I can't focus. Look at something else.

What are you doing?

[November 2013, Obok High School]

[My Career Plan, animation director]

"Core competencies?"

My love for animation?

Yes. That's the most important.

Right.

Then...

"Love."

[My love for animation]

Why do I need so many competencies?

What?

- Let's go. - Come on!

Oh, my.

How did someone so athletic...

fall into a pit?

- Pass the ball. - Hey.

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

We got this!

Keep going!

- Hey! - Nice!

Hoo Young.

I was looking for you.

It's not time for you to be in the library.

Have you seen this?

["Secret Saints"]

No.

I'll lend it to you after I finish it.

One of my classmates studies this genre in depth.

When I said I wanted to become an animation director,

she gave it to me as a gift.

I'm fine.

What?

You said you wanted to become an animation director...

as if it was an incredibly precious dream...

you've never told anyone about.

Did you change your mind as soon as you gave me your dream?

Hey. Do you know which university Hoo Young is applying for?

Hey, what if you know? It's not like you'll be accepted.

If it didn't work out after following him for three years,

you should give up.

Yes.

You heard how the girl who studies liberal arts...

was rejected last time.

Yes. It was crazy in the library.

It's because Hoo Young has no eye for girls.

Hey. You'll become an adult soon.

You'll find a lot of guys who are cuter than him.

They're badmouthing you only.

Be quiet.

Why don't you read the comic book?

I can't help it. You're more handsome than these guys.

I can't refuse that.

I remembered something amazing just now.

But I'm not going to tell you.

Tell me. What's the amazing thing?

I won't.

- What is it? - I'm not going to tell you.

- You're not? - No.

- You're not? - Hey, it tickles. Don't do that.

I love you, Hong Ju.

Me too.

You do?

What?

It's snowing.

Oh, my gosh.

It's pretty.

Hoo Young?

Hoo Young?

Are you not going to tell me to come in?

Come on in.

I'm sorry, but I have nothing to offer you.

I don't have much time either.

So...

I got this in a bit of a rush.

This is...

It'll be much better than what you expect.

I'm not saying I'll take it.

I'll just look inside.

You're here.

I thought I wouldn't get to see you.

The suitcase...

The head office needs one of us back.

Shall we eat together for once?

Mom.

I'm sorry for disappointing you.

Hoo Young.

Do you know why...

I decided to move to the US ten years ago?

You don't think...

it was just because of your dad, do you?

It was...

because of the potential I saw there for us both.

And you never let me down.

Do you really think I dictated...

every decision in your life so far?

While you solved the problems you faced,

I didn't do anything at all.

There was nothing to do.

You solved everything on your own.

It was always you who wrote the final answer.

Mom.

Take it. It'll be my lawyer.

From now on,

I'm going to file a lawsuit against you.

I haven't yet accepted your resignation,

so you must know you're here on a business trip.

I heard you've been using inside information...

to secure investments.

What kind of nonsense...

Whether it's nonsense or not, we'll find out in time.

No one will invest in you with an ongoing lawsuit.

Time is money.

Shall we meet in ten days?

Mom.

- Why would you go this far? - I told you.

That I won't change my mind.

What mom would let her son ruin his life?

Even if you do this,

I won't change my mind either.

I know.

You're like me.

I look forward to seeing what you'll do.

And I worry too.

[Peter's Pen]

[Peter's Pen]

[Peter's Pen]

[Peter's Pen]

[Obok High School]

You were right.

My smart Hoo Young did the math.

He'll have chosen wisely.

I'm saying I like you too...

if you're the one Hoo Young chose.

So you mean...

Come to the US with him.

I don't have the time to help you pack or make travel arrangements.

That will cover the travel expenses.

You can't max it out, so don't worry.

How do you trust me?

Who knows what I could do with this?

I could buy all sorts of things.

Do you think it's you that I trust?

I trust Hoo Young.

I return to the US today.

Hoo Young and I will embark on a long fight.

Hoo Young would feel reassured if you were by his side.

I don't think I understood a word you said.

Once Hoo Young leaves this time,

he can't come back for a while.

Because I'm good at what I do.

So...

move to the US so we can live together.

My son made the decision...

to give up his good life to stay here with you.

You can't...

leave this stuff behind?

Or...

are you not that serious about him?

Lee Hong Ju?

Mr. Kim.

Why are you out like this in the cold?

You can't be out with wet hair.

You could get deathly sick.

I would rather die than listen to you nag.

Come with me. I'll buy you something hot.

Mr. Kim.

Can I treat you today?

No, it's fine.

I really wanted to use this today.

Put it on this card.

Stick it in the slot.

[Total: 37 dollars and 30 cents]

It's done.

You can't follow him there just like that.

The US isn't some next door neighborhood.

I know it's not.

But he likes me a lot.

When I say his name,

he says his heart might pop out of his chest.

I like him too, and I'd like to be with him.

Since it came to this,

it might be a good opportunity to see the outside world.

I'm thinking it could be my chance.

It's not an entirely bad idea, is it?

Then you can go.

Things will go one way or the other.

It's just another country where people live.

If it doesn't work out, you can come back.

Right. If it doesn't work out, I can come back.

Mr. Kim.

Should I really go?

Will you really do as I say?

You never did as I said in school.

Why would you listen to me now?

So...

Whatever it is,

you make the decision.

Think carefully what it really is that you want.

I don't worry about you.

I saw you make some decent decisions...

to get this far.

Lee Hong Ju.

As a teacher, I was always proud of you,

and you're my most treasured student.

Have some pride.

Mr. Kim.

Who's the guy you're seeing this time?

Do you remember him?

We went to school together. Kang Hoo Young.

Who?

Kang Hoo Young?

My most beloved math genius and pupil Kang Hoo Young?

He was a match genius,

but was he your beloved pupil?

No way! Why would he date you?

Did you tell him about me?

He must've wanted to see me.

If you'd told me about this sooner,

none of this would've happened.

How could you, Mr. Kim?

How could you, Hong Ju?

How come...

[Seoul Taxi]

[Reserved]

Call me when you land.

I will.

I talked to Ms. Lee.

You couldn't have said...

what you really wanted to say.

I hope to see you both in the US.

Hong Ju.

Lee Hong Ju!

[Hoo Young]

[Kyung Taek]

[Mr. Son, are you here? I haven't seen you around.]

[You don't teach today. Shall we get dinner later?]

What's going on?

Why won't he reply when he has no class?

If you heard a school inspector will visit,

you should prepare ahead.

What would the inspector think of our school?

If we rush about...

after they get here, wouldn't they notice?

You people...

Am I even dating at all?

Why do I feel more lonely?

You should be prepared.

You fool.

What's wrong with you?

Can't you even see where to turn?

Are you okay?

Darn it.

How many times did I tell her not to wear shoes like that?

What a nuisance.

Why won't it come loose?

Who would ever want to marry that thing?

What?

They'll notice our secret relationship.

Hye Ji.

You'd better brace yourself.

What?

I've decided...

not to hide my feelings from anyone.

That's what I wanted.

Father.

I'll marry Hye Ji.

What's going on?

How could you and my daughter...

Do what you will, dear son-in-law.

Yes!

What's going on?

For real? I was the only one who didn't know?

At last.

Ms. Kim. We got permission at last.

Oh, gosh. Mr. Kim.

Here you go.

Excuse me. Your food's here.

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

[Grilling Meat Again Today]

- Welcome. - Gosh, it's busy.

Sit where you want and read the menu...

I want to sit over there.

Me, there.

Okay?

Okay.

[Reserved]

Sorry. This table's reserved.

- It's reserved? - Yes.

- Oh, dear. - The other tables are taken.

Bae Hye Sook.

You came here to eat too?

That's great. I was hungry...

and there were no seats. Can I join you?

Hey, wait.

Finish your food.

Hey.

Keep me company.

Don't leave me...

on my own today.

Just eat, then.

Of course I'll just eat.

Can I have a bowl of rice?

Why don't we eat together...

and have a drink too?

- Here's your rice. - Thanks.

You're two of my regulars.

I'd like to give just you...

Kwon Sang Pil's special delicacy,

spicy chicken feet.

Would you have some?

Yes. And a bottle of soju.

Sure.

Nice.

His chicken feet are good.

You liked spicy foods.

Here's the soju.

You...

remember that?

It was over 20 years ago.

Could I forget my first boyfriend who had bloody diarrhea...

after every date?

Thanks.

We haven't done this in a while.

Have a shot.

Shall we link arms and drink?

This is nice.

Isn't it, Hye Sook? Don't you remember the old times?

- Eat your food. - Okay.

Everyone's dating but me.

Do you know it's the first time...

we walked around school together?

It is.

It would've been nice if we'd met a little sooner.

Our freshman year would've been ideal.

The year after that would've worked too.

Spring of the year after would've been nice too.

Let's go to the US together.

I know it's not an easy decision to make,

but I don't think I can live without you.

I don't think I can part with you again.

Come with me.

Hong Ju. Look at me.

Hoo Young.

I like you.

I like you so much I'm worried...

how I'll manage.

I like you more and more,

and I don't want to be apart from you.

But...

I know.

Everything that's precious to you is here.

Everything you like and want to do.

What I have isn't enough...

to win you over.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

I feel better now.

You won't give in...

whoever comes your way.

No one can seduce you.

["My Avant-garde Lover"]

I found it on the way.

["My Avant-garde Lover"]

[A first love is special because there's only one in a lifetime.]

We have so many memories with this book.

How could you throw that out?

Hong Ju, keep chasing my dream for me.

Why do you keep crying?

I'll come back.

I'll come back to your world.

Okay.

When I come back,

I'll never let you go.

Hoo Young.

What should we do for fun now?

[Goblin Tteokbokki]

Kang Hoo Young. You have to ace this.

Okay.

She's coming.

Who did you bring today?

I'm indeed crazy.

I'm crazy about you.

Hey, that was really bad acting.

She doesn't believe you.

- You put him up to this, right? - No.

It's been a while.

- Enjoy your food. - Okay.

- Dig in. - Okay. Let's eat.

Should I hang it here?

Could you help me with this? Come on.

Okay.

- There. - I'll turn on the lights.

Gosh, there it is. We're done.

How beautiful. Do you want to take a picture?

- I'll take it. - Okay.

One, two, three.

- What was that? - One, two, three.

What? Is there a problem?

You don't believe it?

This is fun.

She sort of looks like you.

Is that so?

[Production producers: Lee Chun Mu, Kim Young Ji, Lee Hong Ju]

[Lee Hong Ju]

So how long will it take?

I don't know.

Six months if it gets wrapped fast. If it gets dragged out...

I doubt that his mom is really going to sue him.

I bet it's just a warning.

I can sense that she's capable of doing more.

No. I strongly believe she will make whatever she wants happen.

Then you'll just wait for him without knowing when he'll be back?

You can't even be sure if he will indeed come back.

Oddball.

Are you okay?

- Are you okay? - Gosh.

Why don't you beg him to stay then?

This isn't like you. Why are you acting so indifferent?

You know,

it might have been too much for him to insist on staying in Korea.

Then you should go.

He asked you to come with him.

If I do, who's going to hang out with you?

Who's going to peel Sang Pil's onions?

Peter's Pen will be in big trouble without me.

Kang Hoo Young is so annoying.

He should have never come back if he was going to leave like this.

He's leaving after making you fall for him?

Forget about him. You should just move on.

You should just dump that guy.

Ever since he came back, every day felt like some vacation.

"What will I do today?"

"What will happen today?" I looked forward to my days.

My heart tickled all day. It felt nice.

Hye Ji. I had so much fun with him.

But this is way too short of a vacation.

Maybe, it was just a spring break.

Spring breaks are the shortest but the most exciting.

Gosh.

I'll entertain you starting today.

I'll tickle you right here every day.

Hey, you should spend time with Mr. Son.

I'm going to spend time with you.

You just have to take some days off. I'm on a real break now.

What do you say?

Red wine typically has a high alcohol content.

That's all the more reason to drink white wine.

Right.

This is good.

[I'll be there soon after work. Hang out with them.]

[I have more work than I thought. Next week is the viewing.]

Are you all set to fly back to the US?

I didn't have much to pack anyway.

I was only supposed to stay here for ten days.

Why can't you go after Christmas?

What's the rush?

All right. Where should I put this?

Why isn't Hong Ju here already?

She texted us to let us know she was running late.

The viewing is next week.

Hey, does she think she owns a part of the company?

The viewing isn't important right now.

Of course, it is.

Work is the only thing she has right now.

She won't have her boyfriend. She'll be all alone now.

Come on, Hye Ji.

What?

What?

You'll use Kyung Taek as your shield?

Yes.

Gosh. I give up.

When is Uncle Wook coming?

He told us to count him out.

He's not going to join our party?

I bet he's seeing a woman.

Gosh, hey. Be careful.

What kind of woman would like to walk in the snow?

What? Don't you know this is a beautiful sight?

We dated in summer,

so we never got a chance to spend a snowy day.

We dated in winter.

You and I went snowboarding too.

Oh, that.

That wasn't you.

So you did go snowboarding with another woman.

What? Are you asking me to catch you right now?

You'll fall. Be careful.

Hey, our bones won't heal now. Wait up for me.

Speaking of which, who was your first love, Sang Pil?

Mine was Kang Hoo Young.

Kang Hoo Young's first love was Hong Ju.

Lee Hong Ju's first love was Bang Jun h*.

But we don't know only your first love.

You don't know her.

Hey, don't be ridiculous.

I know every woman you know.

It must be that girl.

The one who dumped you when you went to serve in the military.

What was her name? Soo Ji?

It was Ji Soo.

Besides, she wasn't my first love.

My first love...

hasn't come yet.

The girl I fall in love with next will be my first love.

Loving her would mean...

I'd be in love for the first time.

Kyung Taek.

You're my first love too.

- You're mine too. - No.

Your first love was your elementary school teacher.

Gosh.

Is she pretty?

She will turn 60 soon.

What's wrong with turning 60?

You don't think I'll be pretty when I turn 60?

Of course, you'll look gorgeous even when you're 60.

Kyung Taek. You'll be handsome even until the age of 100.

I'm going to set up...

a hideout like this before I turn 40.

I'll set up the kitchen here.

And the rest... Kyung Taek.

You take care of your own business.

What does Kyung Taek have to do with anything?

Hoo Young. I think I need to pull an all-nighter today.

I can't make it. I'm really sorry.

- I wouldn't even go if you did. - Gosh.

Where's he going?

[Hong Ju]

Hey, where are you?

You'd better come quickly.

I'm stuck here.

- Can you move that back a bit? Yes. - Is it too long?

Something seems off about this scene.

Up to this point.

Do we have another take?

You'd better come quickly.

- I'm stuck here. - Great.

The person you reached is unavailable.

You'll be directed to voicemail after the tone.

[Hong Ju]

Hong Ju is coming home pretty late.

She texted me to let me know she had to pull an all-nighter.

I heard you guys met...

because of Hye Ji's letters for you.

Actually, that morning,

we met by coincidence before the whole letter thing.

We met on the bus.

I see.

By the way, you know that...

I also played a part in helping you two meet again...

after you came back to Korea, right?

I picked the cafe for the blind date.

In the end, you two would have met in the building here.

But maybe, I contributed to making your reunion a bit more dramatic.

You're right.

Thanks to you, it was more dramatic.

I'm rooting...

for your relationship more than anyone.

I hope it snows a lot, so your flight gets canceled.

But your plane will have no problem taking off tomorrow.

I was just saying that you would be able to travel safely.

Right.

[Reserved]

Hey.

- What about Oddball? - She's at work.

At work? Gosh. She's unbelievable.

Who knows when he'll be back?

Let me give her a call.

- Wait. My phone... - Gosh.

We talked on the phone early in the morning.

Sang Pil, this feels weird.

You know what? Let me see you off at the airport.

You can't close your restaurant for two days in a row.

You should go to work too, Uncle.

- Have a safe flight. - Okay.

Hong Ju...

Never mind. I'm sure you two will work it out.

Hey.

Let's have another go at it when you come back.

I won't go easy on you then.

You should go to work now. You too, Sang Pil.

Bye.

Call me.

[Special Lecture: Meeting with Writer Bang Jun h*]

[How to be a good writer]

We all become writers the moment we are brought into this world.

I bet you all lied at least once in your life when you were a kid.

- Right. - Right.

You ran through in your head what kind of story you would tell.

Then you expressed that in somewhat decent sentences.

That's what writers do.

I bet you all have written letters and kept a journal. Right?

- Right. - Right.

Read the journal you wrote and the letters you received...

from those days.

- How could he leave... - Your imagination and sentences...

without saying goodbye?

Perhaps, writers...

He'll come and visit you the next time he comes back.

See? This is what I mean. You know?

Even if you adore your students, it will be just one-sided love.

I'll end up getting hurt.

Just like me, if you...

My dear son-in-law.

I just need you, no one else.

Yes, Father.

I'm relying on you too, Father.

Lastly, does anyone have questions?

Could you tell us a little bit about your next novel?

I've never shared this anywhere.

I'm not sure if I should tell you guys.

- Please. - Please tell us.

- Please. - Please.

I'm thinking about writing a story of a man...

who loves a woman to death, but has to say goodbye to her.

Why do they have to break up?

Because the woman left him.

It's not based...

- on your experience, right? - What's the title?

What do you think?

Do you think I experienced such a heartbreaking love story?

Yes. I think so.

Who's that woman? That's crazy.

- It's your ex-girlfriend, right? - Mr. Bang.

Bang Jun h* is still the same.

That was so mean.

- Come on. - Good luck.

- Who is she? Bring her here. - Hang in there.

Yes. You win.

[From Incheon to San Francisco]

Lee Hong Ju.

Hey. It's you, Kang Hoo Young.

What are you doing here?

Are you really surprised?

- You... - I have way too many vacation days.

You have to show me around this time.

Kang Hoo Young.

This isn't a coincidence.

I found you, so I could save you.

Thanks for saving me.

Hold on, look at me. I want to see your face.

I didn't even tell our friends...

to see this surprise look on your face.

I was itching to tell you, but I had to keep...

In life,

how many coincidences will we encounter?

Ma'am.

I'm sorry,

but could you give me some water?

Here's your water.

Sometimes, coincidences pass by without anyone realizing them.

You guys look great. Let me take the picture now.

Everyone, come closer.

- Here it goes. - Wait. Okay.

One, two...

Hey, let's go and buy the melon bread. Hurry up!

[Award]

Come on.

Hurry!

In life, how many coincidences will we encounter?

Sometimes, these mere coincidences...

change the direction of our lives.

What's clear is that behind every coincidence,

there was a fateful decision we made.

Does it mean we're fate?

Goodness.

You can let go of me now.

Thank you.

I'm safe thanks to you.

Wait. Your leg... Are you okay?

Is he okay?

[Kang Hoo Young]

[Obok-dong, Obok University, Mapo Station]

Then we met and fell in love with each other. Does it mean...

it's a coincidence?

[Serendipity's Embrace]

Departing to San Francisco...

I can't believe my first trip abroad will be with you.

We're going to the US at that too. I'm so excited.

Let's eat some delicious food at the duty free shop.

Should we buy a present for your mom too?

- It's on me. - Okay.

- Hong Ju. - Yes.

I'm asking you this just to be safe.

You got the visa, right?

Who do you think I am?

Hold on.

What visa?

- Visa... - What's "visa?"

You really didn't get it?

What is it?

Hey, you can't enter the US without a visa.

Do I need it? Does it mean I can't go?

You can't. You'll have to fly alone later.
