ROMANCE IN THE HOUSE

-I'll never give my daughter to you, okay?
-That's what I want to say.

I can't give you my son. I won't!

I won't!

I won't! You little...

Let go of me!

-Stop!
-Stop!

Let go.

And keep your mouth shut.

-This is a residential area.
-And it's late at night.

I'll go inside now, sir. Let's go.

Cut it out.

-Let's get in the car.
-Okay.

Come on.

Just go.

EPISODE 12
OUR ROMANCE

Gosh, it's been a while
since someone grabbed me by the hair.

-Why did you come here?
-I was worried about you.

Why would you pick on Mr. Nam?
Why would you fight with him?

-I was angry.
-Are you trying to get me fired?

I'm sorry.

Did I ruin it again?

Must you ask?

Darn it.

But it felt good though.

To see you go off on him for me.

While you're here,
can you change the light bulb for me?

It's been flickering.

Okay, I'll change the light bulb.

Tell me if there are any other problems.
I'll fix everything.

Should I bring my tools?

Then please check out the pipes too.

The pipes. The ones under the sink?

Do you mean the pipes over here?

Look, I just wanted
to apologize to Ms. Byeon.

I was going to apologize and leave.

But that jerk annoyed me and...

Right.

Still, I shouldn't have done that.

But that jerk pointed a finger at you
and spoke ill of you.

How else was I supposed to take it?

-Good night.
-What?

FAMILY VILLA

You grabbed the CEO by the collar
and fought with him?

I'm telling you first
because you'll find out anyway.

But that jerk grabbed me
by the collar first.

Byeon Moo-jin.

-Okay, I'm sorry.
-Well done.

I would've done it if you hadn't.

I don't know if it's a he or a she,

but I'll pull out the hair of the person
who uploaded that post.

Well done.

But

I'm worried the CEO might give her
a hard time because of me.

That jerk looked like a petty man.

Don't worry.
Mi-rae can take care of herself.

All we know how to do is
grab and pull people's hair out,

but you know how strong and smart she is.

The CEO even came to apologize her.
I'm sure he knows that.

I hope you're right.

How's Hyeon-jae doing?

Is he going to start taking the course?

Yes, he is.

Really?

I thought he was going to throw a tantrum.

I know.

I'm glad he listens to his dad.

By the way, what was
his business pitch about?

Oh, that?

It was a tour package business
where people could go with their pets.

Here.

Did Hyeon-jae make it himself?

He must've worked really hard.

Anyway, I'll take care of Hyeon-jae,
so don't worry.

Okay.

COURSE REGISTRATION

Byeon Hyeon-jae. Just do as I say.

Did you argue with Mr. Nam last night?

No, I didn't.

Your father is very angry, right?

He has no right to be angry.
He started the fight.

Maybe he'll ask you to break up with me
because of what happened yesterday.

Who is he to tell me what to do
with my boyfriend?

We'll be late. Hurry up and eat.

Are you doing okay with work?

Isn't it hard?

I have no time to find it hard.
There's so much work.

I'm really okay now.

I have my team and you, my mentee.

Let's eat quickly and go to work.

Okay.

Gosh, she's something else.

I would've turned in my leave of absence.

That's what it takes
to seduce the CEO's son.

There's a lot to learn.

I won't learn anything from her.

I say it's a talent.

She's so shameless. I hate it.

How frustrating.

I have an upset stomach because of her.

Right. That's why you're stressed out.

Did you see the way
she held up her head high?

Seriously. She has no shame whatsoever.
For goodness' sake.

What is it?

You know the sandwich place
right out front at the intersection?

You seem to go there at times.

And?

I think you should take note
of their sandwiches.

Why?

I'd love to have the sandwiches
from our company,

but it's impossible to eat them
because they're too dry and tough.

There seems to be a lot of issues.

I mean, the bakery team's sales were

at the bottom again this month.

Last month and last quarter as well.

As a colleague, I'm really worried.

This month, didn't your Diver Tteokbokki

place first in sales?

That's right.

And last month, her Bravo Tteokbokki
placed first in sales.

It was that way in the last quarter
and the one before that.

I'm sorry.

Your team gets compared to ours, right?

I should've held myself back a little.

Ms. Choi, I'm sorry.

I just happen to have
an incredibly talented junior.

Right! My friend is the ace
at her company.

So the employees in other teams
and her superiors get so jealous of her.

Incompetent people tend to be busy
bad-mouthing and disparaging others

instead of working hard.

I'm so glad we don't have anyone like that
in our office.

Isn't that right?

All right, then. Good luck with work.

Good luck.

What was that?

What the... Goodness.

Gosh.

Was I too aggressive?

Of course not. I'm glad you did that.

You were really cool.

It was the best passive attack.

All right. Let's go
and have something sweet.

Let's go.

So what happens to Mi-rae's mom
and President Byeon now?

Will they live together?

I guess so.
Now that she knows what happened to him,

I'm sure she'll take him back.

Think about why
President Byeon went through all that.

With the determination
to come back to his family,

he went on a long and winding journey.

So she should appreciate it,
feel bad for him, and take him back.

If you're family,
you've got to stay together! Am I right?

You have a lot of anger these days.

Well, I wasn't yelling at you, Se-ri.

All right.
Don't you feel good after washing up?

Feeling refreshed? Go play now.

Don't worry about what they said.

You know how our neighbors are.

What about you?

What do you think, Moo-jin?

It'd be a lie if I said I didn't
want to get back together with you.

That's just my wish.

But more than that,

I want to be there for you guys
when you are struggling and in need.

That's why I came back.

So don't worry about it.

And don't feel pressured, okay?

Call me.

Call me when you don't want to eat alone,

when you're bored,

or when you miss me.

AN JEONG-IN

This is Oh Jae-geol speaking.

It seemed like you never feel bored,

so I'm calling you first.

Things were hectic.

Are you busy today too?

Today...

I have more free time than usual.

That's good to hear.
Then can you drop by at my hair salon?

You missed a spot on my hair? Where?

Well...

Right here. It's a spot
that's 3 cm below the right ear.

I completely missed that spot.

I see.

You see, I'm a perfectionist.

Oh, I see.

By the way, do you have plans for tonight?

No, I don't.

What are you going to do after this then?

I'll go home.

What are you going to do at home?

I'll sleep.

Oh... I see.

What's wrong? Did I make a mistake?

No.

I wish you'd make a mistake,

but you won't. That's the problem.

Did I hurt your feelings?

No.

Who am I to have my feelings hurt?

There's nothing between us.

That's not true.

I don't usually rush over

at the request of someone
who isn't even a client.

What are you saying?

I'm also

interested in you, Ms. An Jeong-in.

However,

I'm not in a position
to make a move first.

As you know, I'm divorced.

And I have no money and no house.

I live in the office.

It's not like

we'll get married right away.

Besides, what can I do?

I'm so into you right now, Jae-geol.

So,

can we officially

start dating now?

Yes. I'd like that.

Would you like that? Do you like me?

Here.

Enjoy it.

Medal.

What do you want me to do?

Hey. Are you up?

You should get ready for work.

I took a day off.

You did?

Why? Did something happen?

I'll pick you up,
so wash up and get ready.


Okay.

Where are we going? To eat?

YOUR SKIN IS THE ANSWER

Why did you bring me here?

You're pretty, but I've booked a treatment
so you can look even better on TV,

and get those blemishes removed.

Don't waste money on useless things.
Let's go and eat.

I got a bonus.

I'm using that money, so just follow me.

She's going to be a very popular model.

Please take good care of her.

Okay.

Please wait outside.

Okay.

Please make her pretty.

Good luck.

I'm feeling nervous
because of your daughter's strong request.

Don't worry about what she said.

She's just a bit overprotective,
which runs in the family.

All right. I'll remove the freckles now.

-It won't hurt much.
-Okay.

Isn't it nice?
It's popular on social media.

Really?

I suppose that's why it's so crowded,
even on a weekday afternoon.

You're right.

Let's enjoy a relaxing day today.

Okay.

How does it feel to live alone?

I get lonely at times,

but there are many upsides.

And many things I want to do.

What?

It was my first time hearing you say
that you wanted to do something.

Really?

Is it?

What would you have done
if you hadn't moved out?

I'm glad I kicked you out.

Are you getting along
with the third floor these days?

Good. I feel comfortable.

Oh, look at these pastries.

Gosh, they're too beautiful to eat...

You know,

I won't oppose it
if you guys decide to live together.

When I saw you work as a model
for the home shopping channel,

it was really nice.

It made me think, "Mom will really live
Geum Ae-yeon's life in a cool way now."

I want you to stop worrying about me

and other people's words.

I want you to do as you want.

So,

just make a decision that makes you happy.

Okay?

Is Ms. Mi-rae okay?

Perhaps she lost weight due to stress.

Ask her to come right away. We'll give her
a full-course meal with meat.

Isn't it hard to work without me?

So far, we're okay.

Should we hire a replacement or not?

MASTER NAM TAE-PYEONG

Wow, no wonder your father is
so proud of you.

I'm sorry about the other night.

I apologize on his behalf.

Relay my apology to your father
for me too.

Actually, I should apologize to you.

Despite being an adult,
I behaved outrageously and got angry.

I'm really sorry, Tae-pyeong.

It's okay.

I'm not one to talk,
but your father really dotes on you.

Dads are like that, you know.

We try to act our age
and behave ourselves,

but it's hard to do that
when it comes to our kids.

That's probably why
your father acted that way,

just like me.

I see.

Do you run this place
with your two friends?

Yes.

Isn't it hard to teach kids?

It isn't hard.

They work really hard, and it's adorable.

I see.

Why did you quit this
and join the company?

To take over for your father
in the future?

No, it's not like that.

I'm just doing an internship.

Father wants me to settle down
and live a stable life.

So I decided to give it a try.

Is that so?

Given your family background,

I bet he was against you playing sports.

Your father has been
very patient with you.

Don't you have a date?

Today, I wanted to have a drink with you.

We rarely drink alone like this.

Let's do it today.

Thank you.

Right.

I didn't know there's a place like this
near the office.

You feel awkward, right?

You're a noble.

When you were little, I used to take you
to the factories in Sokcho and Cheongju.

Don't you remember?

I still remember how you used to
put on a show for the workers there.

Father.

Why did you decide to be my father?

Because you look exactly like me.

At first, it was
a sense of responsibility.

But as you grew up,

you'd run into my arms, calling me Dad,

and later, you'd smile at me so adorably
while calling me Father.

Before I knew it, I was your dad.

When you

told Mi-rae's father
about the medals I won

and bragged about me,

it felt really weird.

It made me realize

that you really are my dad.

I'm so lucky

to have

a dad like you.

Okay. I'm glad you feel that way.

When I'm done with my internship,

I'll go back to my old job.

To be honest, the work here
turned out to be more fun than I expected.

But

it isn't my place.

I know now that I've tried it.

So,

I think it's a relief.

Okay.

You kept your promise, so I'll keep mine.

Don't worry about me.

Because I take after you.

Fine.

By the way, when are you going to retire?

If you retire in your 70s,
we won't be able to go on that bike trip.

Why not?

You're athletic because I'm athletic.

I'm still in great shape, you punk.

It's a ten-minute walk
to the office from here.

You should walk this much from now on.

Cheers.

"You should walk this much"? My goodness.

Yes, sir. I'll walk.

-Okay.
-Yes, sir.

Are you going to keep avoiding me
like this?

What? I told you
that I won't talk about business anymore.

How about the academy?
Will you start going next week?

I'll take care of my business,

so don't tell me what to do.

You obviously can't, so I'm living
with you to tell you what to do.

All right.

I'm being overbearing right now,

but it's for your own good.

I know it's hard
and you may not understand me now.

But in the future, you'll understand me.

You know,

it's true that it's your investment
I wanted the most.

But I also had this thought that

even though Mom and Mi-rae look down on me

you might still believe in me
and support me

unconditionally.

Because that's how
I've always been with you.

I thought that's what family does.

Start makeup, 2 p.m., do my hair at...

-Hello.
-Hey.

-Hold on.
-What?

I have a question.

What?

Well...

How do you make up with your son
after a fight?

Between men, it's simple.

Go to the bathhouse together
and scrub each other's backs.

Then drink soju afterward.

Scrub each other's backs and drink soju.

Hyeon-jae.

Let's go to the bathhouse.

Hyeon-jae?

What is it? Did something happen?

It's about Hyeon-jae.

He packed up and left.

What? Why?

To tell the truth,

we were on bad terms because
I didn't support his business idea.

I spoke harshly yesterday.

Did you call him?

Mom.

Hey. Why are you...

Mi-rae, what brings you here?

You told me to drop by for kimchi.

What are you doing here?

Well, I wanted to share kimchi
with the third floor as well.

-Let it sit on the terrace for a day.
-Okay. Thank you.

So,

where's the kimchi?

What's going on?

I'm sure he's at his friend's place
or a sauna.

He'll return in a day or two.
Don't worry so much.

It'll be a problem even if he comes back.

He doesn't want to return to school
or get a license.

Will you let him run a business then?

We can never do that.

In any case, he must get
his bachelor's degree.

Why don't we get him to attend the academy
and get a license first

so that he can figure out
where his talent lies?

It'll take forever to figure it out.

Byeon Hyeon-jae.

Hyeon-jae.

Hyeon-jae, when did you come in?

I knew you wouldn't have gone far,
but here?

What an economical way of running away.

Why are you planning my life

without me?

Must you ask? It's because you're
hopeless and immature.

Hyeon-jae, let's go upstairs and talk...

I get it, but

did it ever occur to you
that I might be serious about this?

And in the first place,

have you ever taken me seriously?

Never!

-That's not true.
-It's true.

Even when Mom and Father got a divorce,
no one told me anything.

What's this for?

It's a family photo.

From now on, we'll take it every year.

How about Dad?

Why? Why are we moving without Dad?

It'll be that way from now on.

Why?

Why?

Just do as I say.

Come here.

Why?

Why? Let's bring Dad along.

Why? He should come with us!

You know,

kids said that my father ran away
and my family went bankrupt.

I was bullied until I graduated
elementary school.

-What?
-Hyeon-jae.

Why didn't you tell us?

You're flustered
to hear about it now, right?

One day, the house suddenly disappeared.

The snack bar disappeared.

And most importantly,

my dad disappeared.

But no one would tell me anything.

Because I was the youngest,

because I was young,

you thought
that I wouldn't understand it anyway.

But,

did you ever stop to think about

how I was feeling?

And look at this.

You split up as you wanted, and now

you're making decisions
about my life without asking me?

-It's ridiculous.
-Hyeon-jae.

I'm leaving for good this time.

-Hyeon-jae.
-Hyeon-jae.

-Hyeon-jae.
-Let go!

Byeon Hyeon-jae!

Let's talk.

Will it be okay?

Let's leave them to talk for now.

Come to think of it,

you stopped talking about your friends

at some point.

I'm your mom, but I had no idea.

Because I didn't show it.

Besides, you were busy providing for us.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Hyeon-jae.

Back then, I only thought about
how I could protect you.

I didn't think about how you'd feel.

I couldn't take better care of you
back then.

I'm truly sorry, Hyeon-jae.

Oh, right. I saw the app you made.

Your dad showed it to me.

It made me want to go on a trip
with Medal right away.

I could really feel that you got excited
and put in a lot of work there.

I think that's what I wanted to see.

To see you act and not just talk.

It wasn't just your dad's past mistakes
that made me against it.

I just couldn't see

why you wanted to run a business

and what you wanted to do exactly.

I was worried.

Back in the day,

your dad made me explode in anger
because he was all talk.

You're much better than that.

Really?

Of course.

So if you want us to listen to you,

show us your actions.

Then, even though it's belated,

we'll try to understand your feelings,
believe in you,

and be supportive.

I understand what you mean.

Can you hear something?

No. I can't...

Gosh, I knew you'd be doing this.

Come on in.

Hyeon-jae, you told me

that you might be a better version of me.

Come to think of it, you're right.

Hyeon-jae.

I'm sorry that I didn't believe in you.

Same here.

I never asked you about your thoughts.

I'm sorry that I only hounded you.

It's okay.

There's been a lack of communication
between us, don't you think?

From now on,

let's gather and eat together
at least once a month.

A family gathering, all right?

-I'm for it.
-Okay.

Okay.

You've been busy
drying and styling your hair

every morning, right?

Now, you can save time getting ready
in the morning

with this product.

Not only does it save you time,

but it also helps maintain healthy hair.

Just look at how elegant her hair looks.

You can have this look too.

Calls are coming in very quickly.

Please hurry.

I hope many of you will take this chance.

You did very well today.

Tomorrow, you'll model for a rice cooker

and the oven and air fryer set.

So, tomorrow's show is family-themed?

No.

These are package deals
for people who live alone.

There are many single-person households
these days.

With such households as our target,
we'll air this during the prime time.

I see.

You can live with him or live alone.

Many people live that way these days

because it's more convenient.

Mom, do you know
what the best thing about living alone is?


You can do everything your way.

Spend some time focusing on yourself,

Geum Ae-yeon, not your family.

Hey, that isn't your bowl.

Mi-rae bought it for my meditation.

THE MOST POPULAR PRODUCT
AIRSTRAIT

Geum Ae-yeon.

You need to smile more
during the after shot.

Yes, Ae-yeon.

Moo-jin, do you want
to go on a trip with me?

We just arrived.

Thank you for the car.

If I end up scratching the vehicle,

fix it on your own, okay?

Okay. Don't worry.

Hey. Wait.

-It's okay.
-It's okay. Leave it.

I'll do it. Don't worry. Just go.

-Go on in.
-You made a reservation, right?

-That's right.
-Okay.

This place's much better
than it looked in the photos.

Thank you.

It looks like
you guys left the kids behind.

Yes, we wanted to have some time
to ourselves.

Here's the key.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

-Let's go inside.
-Okay. Let's go.

Pork belly is the best.
I'll grill it good.

Why take a photo of this?

I'll send it to the kids.

I'll grill it nicely.

-Okay.
-All right.

So what is this again?

It's a welcome wine.

It's the anniversary
of this pension's open.

-We should've bought soju.
-I know.

But let's just drink it.

Okay.

Cheers.

It's good.

When Mi-rae and I wanted to cool down,

we'd take camping chairs to the rooftop

and drink beer
while watching a video of a fireplace.

It was nice.

But it's much better
to see it in real life.

You're right. Let's do this often.

Okay.

You know,

I've been thinking a lot about

what the two of us should do.

I've lived with Mi-rae and Hyeon-jae
for a long time,

and now that I'm suddenly alone

the house feels so big

and empty.

I also feel lonely.

But

at the same time, I like it.

So for now,

I want to keep things this way.

Okay, you made a good decision.

I like living with Hyeon-jae too.

And I can go see you whenever I miss you.
So I like it this way too.

We don't have to live together
and go through all the drama to be family.

You're right.

Like you, I sometimes felt

that my life was quite empty.

I thought I'd go to Major League

and lead a grand life.

But then I gave it some thought

and realized that a grand life
wasn't anything special.

We have Mi-rae and Hyeon-jae.

That's right.

That's enough.

That's enough.

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

Ms. Byeon, our assistant manager,
here's your water.

Thank you, Mr. Yoo, our assistant manager.

You guys are excited about the promotion.

It's awkward to say it myself,
but it's all thanks to me.

You're right.

Gosh, my alumnus' daughter
is getting married.

She's Ms. Byeon's age.

By the way, have your thoughts
on celibacy changed?

No, not at all.

No?

Aren't you still dating Mr. Tae-pyeong?

Yes, we're still dating,

but I enjoy being independent
and living by myself.

It's made me even more certain that
I never want to get married.

-What does Mr. Tae-pyeong say?
-He's okay with it.

Still, the birth rate is 0.78 percent.

For mankind... I'm being a boomer again.

-Is Mr. Tae-pyeong doing well?
-Yes, he is.

Get ready.

-Yes.
-Set, go.

Well done, Seul-a.

Eun-woo, get ready.

-Yes.
-Set, go.

While I'm glad that he came back,

I think our gym is too small for a man

who almost succeeded a major company.

All of my students moved
to Tae-pyeong's class.

Yours too? Hey, mine too.

Okay, today's lesson ends here.

Stand up.

Attention.

Bow.

-Taekwon! Thank you.
-Taekwon! Thank you.

Hold on.

Ta-da.

What's this?

I made plans for the holidays.

GOLDEN HOLIDAY DATE PLAN

Is this the schedule
for two nights and three days?

We couldn't go on dates
since we were busy.

Let's do everything we couldn't do.

I don't think we can do these things
in two months and three weeks.

That's why I created a timetable.

Is the schedule too tight?

So we'll drive to Paju in the morning,

go to the Wolmi Theme Park
in the afternoon,

and visit the night market
by the Han River late at night.

Mi-rae, you'll get a nosebleed
and collapse.

I got carried away
when I wrote down them one by one.

There are many things
I want to do with you.

Are we breaking up next year?

-No.
-I have many things to do with you too.

I plan to be with you
for a long time, Mi-rae.

So let's take it slowly
and do one thing at a time.

For a long time.

What is it?

Are you angry?

No.

You made my heart skip a beat.

Then for this holiday,

let's just do these only.

That's everything.

No, just these here.

But I want to go to the Han River.

That's everything then.

We'll get nosebleeds.

So? You want to do them all?

Will you put that away already?

Do people read novels on smartphones
these days?

They're called web novels.

I became obsessed with them.

They're all the rage these days.

Which web novel do you read?

The title is

A Man in High Heels.

The main character wants to catch
the bad guys who conned him

while keeping his identity a secret.

So despite being a man,
he wears high heels

and destroys the bad guys.

It's a revenge story.

I bet the author made a lot of money.

Really? It must be a masterpiece.

That sounds a bit similar
to what happened to President Byeon.

Don't you agree?

-I don't know.
-I don't know.

Mr. Lee, you should stop daydreaming
about silly things in your room

and write something like this.

You never know.
Your work might become a big hit.

For everyone who's sitting here with me,

-I'll pick up the tab.
-My goodness.

-What?
-That's so random.

Picking up the tab is
President Byeon's specialty.

Did something good happen?

-Yes, it did.
-Really?

It's that Se-ri is pregnant!

Really? Congratulations!

Congratulations. Seriously.

You must've gone through
a lot of distress.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

Congratulations.

I've just entered the safe stage.

Sit down.

Congratulations. So, do you have
a nickname for the baby?

It's Geek.

Since the father is a geek.

Please eat up.

It's on Geek's dad.

Okay. Thank you for the treat.

Cheers.

-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.

That is some news.

Excuse me.

Eat more.

I heard that Ms. An got a boyfriend.

You can't control someone's feelings.

It wasn't just meant to be.

Drink a lot today and let it go.

Cry.

By the way, how long are you going to
hide the fact that you're

the legendary author, Lee Seol-rok?

Until the day I die.

I want to stay rich and unknown

all my life.

I agree.

SEOUL CHILDREN'S BASEBALL CLASS

COACHED BY A PROFESSIONAL

Well done. Bye.

Bye. High-five. You did well.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Well done.

Bye. Let's go.

Taekwon! Master, bye.

Have a safe trip home.

Father.

-Are things going well?
-Yes.

Excuse me.

How can I enroll in a class?

-Baseball?
-Taekwondo?

Well...

At that age, it's very important
to learn a sense of community.

Baseball is the best team sports for that.

At that age, taekwondo is
the most fitting.

It improves a child's athletic ability
as well as manners.

It's beautiful sports.

At that age,
a child shouldn't use his feet.

He should use his hands

for the brain development.

The brain development?

We don't only use our feet. Taekwon!

We use our hands a lot.

Taekwondo is an all-body sport
that improves the body type.

Baseball is a comprehensive sport
which involves

aerobic and anaerobic exercises.

Hyeon-seong, what do you want to learn?

I want to learn ballet.

That's what he wants.

Please excuse me.

Okay.

In any case, good luck.

-Good luck to you too.
-Okay.

-Go.
-One, two, three,

four, five, six.

Hey, what brings you here?

I was in the area,
and I thought I'd stop by

to check how you're doing.

So how's it been teaching the kids?

They don't really listen,

but it's fun.

How are things for you?

Oh, right.
Congratulations on your promotion.

Despite the promotion,
things are the same.

Still, I did get bigger raise
than I expected.

You should ask for more.

You're the most hardworking
and talented employee.

There's something
I've been meaning to ask you.

You got swindled

and caught the swindler in the end.

Why didn't you tell us?

Telling the story

wouldn't have changed
the fact that I ruined the family.

You're right.

But

still.

I was too ashamed.

While you guys were struggling,

while you were looking after the family
in my stead,

I was wandering for years
in order to catch the swindler.

I didn't want you guys to know.

Like the money I came into,

I wanted to seem like someone
who came out of nowhere.

That's just how I felt.

Father.

I resented you a lot.

And resenting you

made me struggle a lot for years.

Because...

-Strike!
-Yes!

-Ta-da!
-Dad, you're the best.

Because when I was little,

I liked you a lot.

Now,

I won't struggle so much anymore.

And

I'm glad that you're back.

Shall we have a round?

Okay.

You've probably forgotten how to do it.

Talk after you see me do it.

All right.

After a long and winding journey,

-our story ended as such.
-There you go.

No, our story doesn't end.

Life goes on.

INTERVIEWEE WAITING AREA

Mr. Jung Eui-heon, Ms. Kim Min-ji,
and Mr. Byeon Hyeon-jae.

Please come in.

Although it isn't a grand life,

we'll wait for the special moments
that'll visit us like presents.


I'm here to apply for the driving lessons.

Okay.

Please fill out the form.

We'll assign you to a slot
on the desired time and date.

Okay. Thank you.

Or we'll make the special moments
ourselves.


GEUM AE-YEON

Just this once, sir.

You're asking too much.

We aren't making much profit as it is.

How could we have
a buy one, get one free event?

I can't do this.

Sir!

We work hard

to make each ordinary day special
in our own ways.


MISS AE-YEON:

You didn't forget, did you?
It's at noon this Saturday.


For a potluck,

each person brings one serving of food
and enjoys it

with other people.

-We might need more food.
-There.

More food?

Look at this.

We can take the leftovers home.
Take a seat. Let's eat.

All right.

-Thank you for the food.
-Thank you.

Enjoy the food.

Hyeon-jae, did the job interview go well?

I totally nailed it.
I think I'll get the job.

Really?

Of course. If I fail this time as well,

I'll work on my own.

If I take a small group of people
on a package tour,

word will spread, I think.

Hyeon-jae, I'll spread the words.

A lot of students in my baseball class
have dogs.

-Really?
-Yes.

Nice.

Right. I saw an unfamiliar car out front.

-Did a new tenant move in?
-What? No.

Oh, that? It's my car.

What?

-You bought a car?
-Without telling me?

-I bought a cheap used car.
-Congratulations.

Mom, you haven't driven in ages.

I signed up for the driving training.

Now that I have more work,

I need better mobility.

I can't take a taxi everywhere.

So I bought a car with my own money.

Wow, isn't your mom

really cool?

-I agree.
-I agree.

Now that I have a new car,

shall we all go on a trip next month?

Sure. I'll book a lodging.

Make sure it has two rooms.
I'll sleep with Mom.

Nonsense.
Your mom and I will share a room.

Who are you to decide?

Gosh, why are you guys doing this again?

The room is where I draw the line.

I can't let you do that.

Stop it. The two of you can share a room.

What?

I'll share a room with Hyeon-jae.

What? Why?
I'll sleep alone in the living room.

Why? Share a room with me.

-It's uncomfortable.
-Let him sleep alone. He's all grown up.

-No, I want to share a room with him.
-Come on.

In any case, we're enjoying our lives.

Sometimes apart, and sometimes together.

Thus, we're

pretty happy right now.
