01x12 - Episode 12

[bunniefuu]

LOVE YOUR ENEMY

THE CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS,
AND PLACES IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL

12 YEARS AGO

Hoseok, hang on. I'll explain everything.

What are you going to explain?
You stealing the company's money?

Or you bringing Dad's foundation into this
to illegally get a loan?

And then losing all that money?

I was just trying to do great things.

I just wanted to make a success
of our new venture.

Do you think I knew
it would turn out like this?

Stop making excuses!

It's all over.

It's funny how life turns out, isn't it?

Gyeongtae, brother.

It seems like just yesterday
I lost my company because of your father.

And now his son is here in front of me,

begging me for money
to save his own company.

Please help me out this once.
Otherwise my company…

Right now, even the school foundation…

I have no intention of helping you.

Brother.

What goes around comes around.

Your father did the same thing to me.

By the way, Ji Gyeonghun called me.

Did he say why he was calling?

He was quite incoherent.

Something about if we trust him,
he would get the money together.

That idiot. Surely he's not…

HOSEOK

- Hey, Hoseok.
- Gyeonghun, where are you right now?

Hoseok, please just trust me
one more time.

Let's meet.

I'm on my way to you.

No, don't come.

It's no use.

Gyeonghun, please!

Don't come.

Honey!

Gyeonghun.

Gyeonghun.

Please, just save my wife. Okay?

Please, Gyeonghun.

Gyeonghun, please.

I'm sorry.

I'll make things right.

Gyeonghun.

Please give it to me.

My son, Hoseok.

Did you k*ll him?

Father!

Don't call me that!

After everything Hoseok did for you!

After everything he did for you,
you b*stard!

k*ll? I didn't k*ll anyone!

He died of his own accord!

I did nothing wrong!

You, you b*stard!

Give me back my son!
Give me back my Hoseok!

- I didn't k*ll him!
- You b*stard!

TITLE DEEDS

Are you leaving?

I hope you won't.

Sorry?

Don't drive. Not today.

I've been having such vivid dreams.

Father.

So, don't go anywhere.

Just stay here with me.

What are you talking about?

I know I'm not making any sense.

I know that.

But I feel like if I let you go now…

I'll lose you forever.

Hoseok, please don't go.

Okay?

For my sake.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

He's gone.

Huh?

Hoseok's gone, Jiwon.

Grandpa.

Hoseok's…

Everything's going to be okay, Grandpa.

Everything's fine.

Everything's fine, okay?

It looks like mild cognitive impairment.

Is that different from dementia?

He doesn't have dementia, but he has
a high risk of getting it in the future.

Still, we've caught it early,
so don't get too disheartened.

What should I do?

There's no cure for dementia.

But with medicine
and a few changes to his lifestyle,

we can try and slow its progression
as much as possible.

His family will need
to appreciate the situation

and give him a lot of support.

Does he have any other family besides you?

No, it's just me.

Excuse me…

Who…

Well…

You might describe me
as being almost family.

- Sorry?
- I'm family.

What can we do to help him?

Thank you for being here.

Well, I'm not here because I want to be.
It just happened that way.

Besides, it's not even dementia.

There's no need to make a fuss.

He's been beside himself
that you might find out.

So put on a brave face.

Okay, I will.

Oh, my goodness.

I'll be going gray after what that old man
has put me through these past two days.

I'll be going now,
so take good care of him.

Aren't you going to see Jiwon
before you go?

I saw him briefly just now.
He looks perfectly fine.

Goodness me.

Why are you trying to get up? Lie down.

How's your grandfather?

I helped him eat and stayed with him
until he fell asleep.

- What about you?
- Me?

You look like

you're on the verge
of being admitted yourself.

I'm going to get some rest,
so you'd better do the same.

Where are you going to rest?

There's a cot here for carers.

Come here. We can rest together.

No, thanks. Just get some rest.

Come on! Hop up here
so we can rest together. Quick.

What did the police say?

They'll seek
the stiffest sentence possible.

Although I'm sure that won't do much
to relieve you and your grandpa's pain.

Jiwon.

It might not seem like it right now,

but everything is
going to turn out just fine.

So, spend the rest of today
feeling down in the dumps,

and then get some sleep, okay?

- Grandpa.
- Hello, Munsu.

- Careful.
- Watch where you're going.

I'm fine.

Ever since we left the hospital,

they've been fussing over me
like I'm a baby.

I'm glad to see you back to health.

I'm sound of body at least.

I've put you two through a lot recently.

I'm very grateful.

From now on, I'm going to eat,
sleep, and exercise well.

So, let's just pretend
like everything's normal, okay?

Okay.

Especially you two.

Okay.

Okay.

Why are you up so early?

Let's run together.

What are you doing up
at the crack of dawn?

I've decided to take up running too.

You'll have to open your eyes first.

Let's go.

Dear me.

- There you all are.
- Yes.

Wow, this is nice.
Not having to run alone.

- Right, let's go!
- Let's go!

Be careful.

- Are you going to run more, Munsu?
- Sure.

- Okay, let's go.
- One, two.

I really enjoyed teaching you all
this semester.

I also learned a lot myself.

Study hard, and exercise well.

There's a lot I want to say,
but I'm sure you're all anxious to be off,

so I'll wrap it up here.

Enjoy your vacation.

WE LOVE MR. GONG.

Today is the first day of summer vacation,

but the work you do in the second semester
of junior year is more akin to…

- Senior year.
- Senior year.

I see you're all aware.

So, although it's important to study,

enjoy your last summer vacation
and have some fun!

So, class dismissed!

Class dismissed!

So you're not going home?

I am, but then I'll be going
here and there.

Traveling?

I'm planning to dive right in.

Into what?

- The water.
- The water?

I haven't been in the water
since I quit swimming.

I've never even just splashed about.

But now that I think about it,
I really used to love being in the water.

Apparently, I never cried
when I was bathed as a baby.

That's how much I loved the water.

Even if I can't win any medals,
or break any records,

I want to start swimming again.

Because I still love it as much as ever.

Make sure you warm up properly.

Okay.

- Jiwon.
- Yes?

Can I finally make my wish?

Your wish?

Oh, from basketball. What is it?

I'll be back at some point.

Come back when you're done diving.

Bye.

- Thank you.
- I'll write you a good reference.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

Thank you for all your hard work.

Leaving for the day?

Yes, how about you?

Me too, I guess.

Do you remember…

that meal I promised
to treat you to that time?

Are you perhaps free today?

I'd love to. Yes, that'd be nice.

What would you like to eat?

How about you?

Do you like chicken soup?

Somebody recommended
a nice restaurant that serves that.

Chicken soup
with scaly hedgehog mushrooms.

Chicken soup
with scaly hedgehog mushrooms.

Okay, sounds great.

Shall we get going?

Yes.

Are you upset that the school nurse
is in a situationship with Ms. Maeng?

Don't be silly. It's not like I'm a kid.

Aren't you frustrated?

Always having to pretend to be okay,
that you don't care, that you're cool.

I'm not pretending.

Aren't you tired of being
such a nosy parker?

A nosy parker…

I looked up what that means.

- That's not why I'm like this to you.
- Then why?

I like you.

I like you so much
that you're always on my mind.

I want to be by your side and help you.

I'm not being nosy.

Are you out of your mind?

Don't you like me?

Why would I like someone
who's bottom of the class?

What if I raise my grades?

I'll make sure I'm not bottom
come next midterms.

If I do that, then you have to date me.

If you don't like me, just tell me.
I won't bother you anymore.

Try it, or not.

Do you think it's that easy
to raise your grades?

Okay!

When I first met you,
I thought you were weird.

Sorry?

Then I thought you were a bit rude.

Someone who never takes
anything seriously.

Why are you saying all this?

But the more I got to know you, I realized

that although you pretend to be like that,

in truth, you really know
how to comfort people,

and you're really warmhearted.

And why say all that…

As you know, I'm Haesu's father.

And I want to try and be a better father.

Why did you invite me
to come and eat chicken soup,

and then proceed to send me
on this emotional roller coaster?

What is it exactly that you want to say?

What I want to say to you is…

A BETTER TOMORROW
CORRECTION WITH HOPE

Hoseok was insistent.

When I brought you under my roof,

I wanted to give your parents
a proper send-off

and take care of you for a few months
before finding you a new home.

But Hoseok clung to me crying.

And begged me not to send you away.

He said you had nowhere else to go.

When he said that…

when he was sticking up for you,

I should never have listened.

Father.

Don't you dare call me that.

I am no longer your father.

I'm so sorry, Father.

You allowed me to live with dignity.

I wanted to return the favor.

Ever since I was young,

when I saw you and Hoseok,

I always felt sorry.

I was indebted to you
for the rest of my life…

and I resented it.

I wanted to be decent and confident

as your real son.

So I got greedy.

I wanted to do a good job

and hear you say, "I owe it all to you."

I wanted to hear you say things like that.

Not to be treated differently from Hoseok.

You silly fool.

When did I ever

give you reason to think
I looked at you differently from Hoseok?

I'm sorry.

Father, I don't deserve your forgiveness.

No.

I forgive you.

That's why I'm here.

I don't want someone like you
occupying my thoughts.

What's the point in holding on
to hatred and loathing?

Scum like you doesn't deserve it,
and you're not worth it.

I forgive you.

The thing is,

the person I really can't forgive,

is the person who ignorantly took you in.

My stupid self.

I will never forgive myself.

Never…

Never…

A BETTER TOMORROW
CORRECTION WITH HOPE

Let's sit for a moment before we go.

I seem to be thanking you
a lot these days.

If it hadn't been for you,

I would have been ashamed
to face my son and daughter-in-law.

Hoseok came to see me back then.

Hoseok went to see you?

He asked to borrow money.

I refused of course.

On his way back from meeting me,

he got into his accident,
and when I heard,

I was scared.

And I was angry.

I wanted to believe it wasn't my fault,

that it was you who made me that way.

It wasn't your fault.

I know it's late, but I apologize.

For sending Hoseok away like that.

It's all water under the bridge.

Now, our kids

will end the bad blood we never could.

What are you talking about, old man?
Of course it'll be at a hotel.

It doesn't make any sense to waste
hundreds of millions of won on a wedding.

The thing is…

There's the small matter
of social standing.

You might treat me like a c*ck,

but I am nevertheless the chairman
of a major company.

We were thinking--

Well, I have something called dignity.

I can't tolerate things like
pretentiousness and ostentatiousness.

Goodness me.
I told you we'd take care of it.

Why would you pay?
It's my granddaughter's wedding.

Jiwon,

let's look at dresses together.

I've already chosen a few that I think
you'd look really beautiful in.

Think about how many people
are on my guest list.

- Pare it!
- But--

Only invite close acquaintances.
No hangers-on.

I never had a daughter of my own.

I always wanted to choose
my daughter-in-law's dress.

It's my dream.

Excuse me, Father, just now…

I will take…

what you're saying under advisement.

However, we do have a budget in mind,

so we will discuss carefully what
we can achieve within those constraints.

Ah, yes. That's enough quarreling.

We will take care of everything ourselves.

And when it comes to the wedding,
how about keeping it small

and only inviting family?

Say what?

Do you know how much I've spent
at other people's weddings?

A family-only wedding?

Exactly. No matter what you might wish,
a wedding

is an important family occasion.

I mean, even if we abide by that,

Jiwon, you must have
a ton of guests to invite.

Exactly.

It has long been my dream
to have a small wedding.

I love it.

Enough!

I won't allow it.

There will be no wedding.

Enough? What's enough? Is it your wedding?

Su… Suja.

You should have told us you were coming.

She did actually let me know,

but I couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Mother, didn't you say
you were coming next week?

I moved up my plans.

Seeing mortal enemies burying the hatchet?

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Let's cut to the chase.

Gyeongtae.

Yes, ma'am.

Jaeho.

Yes, ma'am. I mean, yes.

The two of you have come to
this momentous decision.

Don't go and ruin it by sticking
your nose in where it's not wanted.

It doesn't matter where the wedding
is held or how many people they invite.

Even if she wants to come down
the aisle dancing the cancan,

just leave them be.

Got it?

Yes, ma'am.

Yes.

I can't believe I'm so exhausted
after just one meeting.

How many more times
do we have to go through this?

How about we skip everything
and just go to city hall?

How can you be so unromantic?

Are you romantic?

Of course I am.

About what?

Wedding photos.

A bright, sunny day.

In a garden
with lots of flowers and trees.

Sounds hot.

Sounds lovely.

Photos always look nicer taken outside.

Of course.

A lot of people have been taken
by surprise by the sudden heat wave.

As the midday temperature in Seoul
approaches 36 degrees,

a sweltering heat has swept…

How much longer?

It should be about another 30 minutes.

I'm already 20 minutes late.

Your meeting ran long.
I'm sure she'll understand.

That's lovely.

Hold the flowers straight, yes.

That's lovely. Yes.

Left.

That's it. Great.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Enough. We'll talk after we're done
with the photos.

Now turn and face each other.

That's it.

Isn't the weather glorious?

And you look so, so pretty.

Now just give me a hint of a smile.

What the heck?

Why are you so mad?
If anyone's mad, it should be me!

I'm not mad at you.

Then why the attitude the whole way here?

How many times do I have to tell you?

I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at myself.

You're just saying that.
You just got mad at me again.

No…

Let's drop it for today.

You're saying that because you know
you're in the wrong. You big baby.

- Baby?
- Yes, a big baby.

OBONG RESTAURANT

- Bon appétit.
- You too.

Wow, looks great.

Dear me.

- No matter how often I come, it's great.
- Right?

Right! Now that the food's here,
let's raise a toast.

To Mr. Hong's future!

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

Thank you.

Dear me.

- This is great.
- I'm enjoying this.

That's what I'm talking about.

Make sure you have one of these each.

Tastes great.

Right, have you found a new position yet?

Not yet. I'm going to take some time off.

I'm envious.

You're going to enjoy a proper vacation.

I wish vacation was just one more week.
No, even just three days longer.

You sound just like the kids
on their first day back from vacation.

That is perhaps the only thing students
and teachers can agree on.

Does everyone hate going back to school?

It's better than being home all day bored.

Oh, I…

Something's come up.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to get going.

I do apologize.

Already? Just like that?
But it's our last time together.

Something urgent has come up…

Enjoy the rest of the night then.

I'll pay the bill on my way out.

- Oh, no need.
- No, we didn't mean it like that.

Enjoy. I'm sorry for dashing off.

Hi, Mom.

Really? Why?

Okay, I'm on my way.

- What is it?
- It's such a shame.

My mom said she's got something
she wants to discuss.

I'll be back soon…
I mean, I'll see you tomorrow.

What a shame. Bye.

Wait. Ms. Maeng!

Her phone didn't even ring.

What are we going to do about those two?

It's so obvious.

What is?

- You really don't know?
- You don't know?

How can you not know?

What?

So what I want to say is…

are you okay with who I am?

Feel free to refuse.

Of course you probably should.

But I really wanted to be honest with you.

Like you were with me.

Are you trying to tell me you like me?

Yes.

I like you, Sua.

- Yes.
- Sorry?

Sorry? I mean, I like you too.

I get bored with conventional things.

I know this won't be easy,

but I refuse to live in fear of what if.

It's just we won't be able to see
each other that often from tomorrow.

And nobody seemed keen to be heading home.

I couldn't wait any longer.

Don't you think my acting was too stiff?

Maybe I should've just been honest.

You were great.
Nobody had the foggiest idea.

- Really?
- Really.

You were so natural you almost fooled me.

What shall we do now?

I don't know.

Shall we think as we walk?

The night is still young.

Okay.

So, you wanted a nightcap.

I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat.

I needed some liquid courage
for what I'm about to confess.

To me?

All those years ago when you got sick
after breaking up with Jiwon,

do you remember I came to see you?

Are you talking about back in high school?

Yes.

Back then, he called you…

but I erased the record of the call.

Jihye.

To tell you the truth, I liked him too.

I know it's too late.

And I know it's no use.

But I wanted to beg you for forgiveness.

I was afraid of you finding out
what a terrible person I am.

So I kept it from you all this time.

I'm truly sorry, Jiwon.

It's okay to get mad at me.

It's okay to get mad at me.

I think you've already spent enough time
being mad at yourself.

Why would you hold on
to something like that?

We were young.

You should have just told me.

Why would you do that for so long?

Jiwon.

Oh, Jiwon.

Hey, what are you doing?

Do you think if you throw yourself
at me like this,

I'll just cast my pride aside
and stop feeling angry?

I'm not angry anymore.

Since we're together like this, it's okay.

Huh?

What are you talking about?

If we get caught like this,
we're dead meat.

Who cares. Let him k*ll us.

I'm sorry for being so mean earlier.

I was just venting.

No, I was being a big baby.

I ruined everything.

No, you didn't.

Taking wedding photos in the rain
wasn't too bad.

Right.

Even soaked from the rain,

you're pretty.

We need to pick a class president
for the new semester.

Does anyone want to volunteer?

If not, I'll also accept nominations.

I'd like to nominate.

Yes, Haesu.

Jeong Yul.

Is no one else interested?

- I abstain.
- No.

You're the only candidate.

Without even the need for a vote,

Jeong Yul is appointed
as the class president for this semester.

Okay.

Giseok, if you have time…

Off to play soccer?

No, I have time. Plenty of time.

I have nothing but time.

Then come with me.

Sure! Of course I will! Where?

- The library.
- What?

There's a new one just behind my house.

It's quiet and clean.

I'll help you study.

Hey, you're worried
I won't be able to raise my grades.

Don't be ridiculous.
No skin off my nose if you don't.

I'll go. Hey, teach me.
Teach me everything you know.

What are you going to teach me?

Let me tag along.

Get lost, please.

I won't stand for you two
hanging out without me.

And don't even think about
getting a crush.

It's nothing like that.

Don't even think about getting a crush.

Hey, will you get lost?

Please. Stop following us.

Honestly.

Hey, Yul, do you want to come?

Where?

Where are we going?

Library. You can come if you want.

No, thanks.

Just come with us.

Hey, you can sleep there too.

Guys, are we really going to the library?

Yes.

- How about some tteokbokki first?
- No way.

I won!

Come here. Face me.

Come here. Face me, face me.

Oh, dear me, I do apologize.

I got too into it for a moment.

If you get too into it again,

you might end up making
your first love's skull cave in.

I hurt you.

I can see you're still
as clueless as ever.

Is that why you dumped me
and went off with Gyeongtae's dad?

Was he sharp and quick-witted?

More than that,

Gyeongtae's dad was handsome.

The only thing I need in a man
is a handsome face.

What's wrong with me?

Good-looking guys live up to their looks
and act entitled.

Right. But the ugly guys
always live down to theirs.

If I have to choose, I choose up.

I'm not saying that's you.

To be honest, you were always
more interested in work than romance.

Am I wrong?

Was I?

Let's stop playing alkkagi.
How about playing Go-Stop instead?

A hundred won a point?

Um, shall we?

Okay.

AERIAL VIEW OF
MT. DOKMOK ECOLOGICAL PARK

This is what I'm building
instead of a golf course.

An ecological park?

Yes, I'm already in discussions
with the Forest Service.

It may not be as good as a golf course,

but it should be quite good
for revitalizing the local economy.

You're just notifying me.
You little twerp.

It's my project, and I won't screw it up.

I'm going to bring an expert advisor
on Mt. Dokmok on board to help out.

What expert advisor on Mt. Dokmok?

In New Zealand, you've got Albert Park,
Tongariro, and Arthur's Pass.

I've arranged it so you can visit
several places.

And I've set up the meetings you requested
with the 3D concrete printer companies.

How long will we be away?

I would expect about a month.

It's only one month.
Why are you making such a fuss?

Only?

I'll call you all the time.

I don't want to go.

It's work, so you can't not go.

Hang on.

If you're going to be away for a month,
you won't be here on our birthday.

Or for Christmas.

How can you miss such important events?

But, Jiwon, the thing is…

It's fine.

I'll just spend them quietly
all on my lonesome.

What if it snows?

I'll just go to Namsan all by myself
like I did all those years ago,

and sit there pitifully getting snowed on.

Hang on. Let me just…

I'm kidding.

We have our birthday every year.

Go and work hard and earn lots of money.

Okay, thanks.

Huh? A one-month business trip?

Yes, that's just how things turned out.

What the heck?
So he won't be back until next year?

- He'll miss Christmas as well?
- Yes.

Sua, how about the three of us
spend Christmas together?

Huh?

Sounds great.
It really does sound like fun…

But I've heard that Christmas
is for spending with family.

You're going to make her cry.

I'm kidding.

Jihye, what are you doing for Christmas?

Do you have a secret boyfriend as well?

Forget it. If you go out at Christmas,
everywhere is just really crowded.

Even the thought of meeting someone
and dating them is exhausting.

It's hopeless.

Right,

I've nothing special to report
in today's staff meeting.

Except we do have a new math teacher.

Come on in.

I'm sure everything is feeling unfamiliar,
so please try and make him feel welcome.

I'd especially ask the other math teachers
to help him settle in.

- Yes.
- Introduce yourself.

My name is Kim Jiung.
It's nice to be here.

Hope springs eternal, huh?

Did you sleep well?

Who is this?

It's been so long,
I don't even recognize your voice.

I'm really sorry. I've been so busy.

You sound really tired.
If you're busy, shall we talk later?

No, it's fine.

Are you doing all the work?

Isn't the company working you too hard?

They really are.

Hey, we got a new math teacher…

Sir!

Jiwon, I need to go to a meeting.

- I'll call you later.
- Oh, okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Right, turn to page 134.

- Hello.
- Hello.

You're looking handsome.

Right?

I can hold my own
in the looks department, right?

Of course. Did someone say something?

Huh? No, just…

I'll see you later.

Have fun, Mr. Expert Advisor.

Okay.

Stay inside, it's cold.

Did you forget something?

Um, I…

I had something to say to you.

I've forgotten in the time it took me
to come over.

It happens. I do that from time to time.

Dear me.

Grandpa,

were you coming to tell me you love me?

Come on.

Why not? Don't you love me?

Of course I do.

I love you more
than anything in the world.

Me too.

Sure, let's say that's
what I came over to tell you.

Even if I forget everything else,

I must never forget that.

- See you later.
- Okay.

Okay then.

DOOFUS

The number you are calling is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the beep.

This will be charged at your normal rate.

The longer he's away, the less he calls.

And after all that whining
about how he didn't want to go.

It's the first snow!

Why couldn't it have waited
until Jiwon was back?

The weather forecast is never right.

How pathetic am I? Let's just go home.

DOOFUS

So you are still alive.

What are you doing?

What's it to you? You're in New Zealand.

Jiwon, where I am, it's snowing.

Do you think I'm stupid?

It's summer there right now.
How can it be snow…

We were often out of step.

There were long periods
where we couldn't express our longing.

Something I like and hate.

A jerk I miss
but also can't stand the sight of.

How did you get back here so soon?

Who needs sleep?

I saw the weather forecast
was predicting snow.

This time,

I didn't want to leave you waiting.

I wanted to give it to you back then.

Our birthdays are in the winter.
Why ask me what present I want?

Then a scarf.

A red one. Knitted by you.

Okay.

A small promise made a long time ago

traveled many miles to reach me.

It snowed sooner than I expected,

so it's still a little short.

- Woof, woof!
- Woof, woof!

Sparrow!

Hey, do you remember?
We had a wedding back in kindergarten.

Wasn't it called off halfway through?

Is that how you remember it?

Wasn't it?

Forget it.

I don't want to marry Yun Jiwon.

I'm going to marry Kim Jisu.

I don't want to.

- I don't want to marry Yun Jiwon.
- Dummy! Moron!

I like you.

So don't marry Kim Jisu,
marry me. Promise me!

Sometimes, we have different recollections
of days gone by.

But this much is clear.

Even if there are things we don't know

or can't remember…

even if we lost each other for a long time
and it was a long way back,

we…

I missed you, Seok Jiwon.

I love you too, Yun Jiwon.

THANKS FOR WATCHING
