[bunniefuu]

Ji-young, please.

Let go of me.

Let go!

Ji-young, please don't go.

YEAR 1995
26 YEARS AGO

Ji-young!

Ji-young, why are you doing this?

Let go of me, darn it!

I know things have been tough lately,

but I'll do better. I'll try harder.

So please don't do this.

You drive me crazy

whenever you're like this.

I'm not leaving
because you did something wrong.

I just feel

like I'm being suffocated.

This isn't how life should be.

This is a prison.

This is a cave
without a single ray of light!

What about me, then?

What about our Dan-dan?

Just consider me dead.

Sir, please go. Hurry!

Just take me somewhere far from here!

I feel bad for Dan-dan's father.

She talked about leaving her family
but she actually went through with it.

She's so cruel.
How can she abandon her own daughter?

The kid still needs to be breastfed.

How can a young man possibly
raise a child on his own?

Dan-dan, it's all right.

It'll be all right.

Has it already been a year
since a hit-and-run driver

took your husband's life?

Goodness.
I feel bad that Dae-beom has no dad.

That poor thing.

Excuse me. Why would you say that?

Don't say such a thing
to Dae-beom ever again.

If he needs a dad, I'll get him a stepdad.

Why would you pity him?

I just feel bad that he has no dad.

What is she so upset about?

Why do you keep smiling like that?

Do you have a smiling disease?

I don't know.

I'm just so happy.

We can't even afford decent meals,
but you're still happy?

Yes. All I need is you.

And we have a great future ahead of us.

Soo-chul, you will become
a world-famous artist.

And I will become a huge fashion designer.

I'll become successful

and let you wear the clothes I designed.

I promise.

Yes?

Oh… What brings you here?

Are you going out?

I brought you some zucchini jeon.
It turned out nicely.

Thank you. I'll enjoy it.

Okay.

If anything comes up,

I can look after Dan-dan.

Dae-beom isn't fussy,

so please don't hesitate
to ask me for help.

Thank you.

I have to go somewhere now, though.

Okay. I'll see you later.

Dan-dan, don't worry.
You will see your mom again.

We'll tell her
she doesn't need to worry about us,

so she should study hard
until she comes back.

JI-YOUNG, TAKE CARE

Ji-young, take care.

I'm sorry I can't give you
more money for your trip.

I'll work hard to make more money
and send it to you.

Become a successful designer
and achieve your dream.

Dan-dan and I will be waiting for you.

I love you, Ji-young.

Hey!

Are you insane?

Are you trying to get me
into trouble or what?

Why did you bring a newborn baby here?

I'm so sorry.

Give him the baby.

Just stay home and take care of your baby.

Don't come back here again!

Gosh, let's go.

Come on.

Why can't I register her birth
when she's right here?

I'm her dad.

I told you. Only the mom can register

the birth of a child
who was born out of wedlock.

The baby must have a mom.

Her mom is dead.

She has no mom!

Are you saying

we can't register babies
who don't have a mom?

What kind of law is that?
That's just ridiculous.

I'm Dan-dan's dad.

Don't you even have
the mom's name and social security number?

This isn't something I can do.

That's just how the law works.

And to be frank, where's the proof
that you're the baby's dad?

What?

Proof?

Why do I need proof
when she's my daughter, you jerk?

Gosh, let go of me!

Say that again. You want proof?

You jerk.

-Please calm down, sir.
-Please leave.

Let go of me!

What did you say? "Proof"?

Dan-dan is my daughter!
She's my kid, you jerk!

Darn it. Can you believe that guy?

-Please calm down.
-Dan-dan is my daughter!

My daughter!

She's my child, you idiot!

Let go of me. Get off me!

Let go!

Wait, Soo-chul!

Soo-chul.

Soo-chul.

Please.

Please don't die.
We can raise our kids together.

I'll…

I'll be Dan-dan's mom.

So please… Please, Soo-chul…

12 YEARS LATER

Dan-dan, let's switch popsicles.

No. I don't want what you were eating.

Look. There's BIGBANG.

BIGBANG? Where? Where are they?

Where?

What did you just do?

I was going to have just one bite.

How did this happen?

You should've switched with me
when I asked.

I would've just taken a bite.

You're dead. Come here.

Gosh, it hurts. Let go of me!

Mom, how could you do this to me?

You borrowed 10 million won.

Soo-chul took out a loan
to lend you that money.

You didn't even pay me back.

How could you ask me
to stand surety for your loan?

I had this house registered
less than a year ago.

I wouldn't ask you this
if there were another way.

Mom, why would you
start a business at your age?

Tell g*n to give up soccer

and work part-time to make money.

Hey! You can't say that
just because he's not your son.

He's your one and only brother.

You should support him
until he makes the national team

instead of telling him to quit

when soccer is all he knows.

How could you say such a thing
as his sister?

I don't care. g*n is your son, not mine.

You take care of him.

Oh, dear. If only my husband were alive,

I wouldn't be
going through all this humiliation.

I can't believe
this is how my daughter treats me.

Oh, dear.

Gosh, Mom!

Yeon-sil.

Gosh, Yeon-sil.

What are you doing?

Dae-beom and Dan-dan
are fighting outside now.

What?

-Dae-beom and Dan-dan?
-Yes.

Hey, come here!

Hey! Come here.

Oh, my gosh. What's going on? Dan-dan.

My goodness.

-Dan-dan!
-Let go of him.

You'll pull out all of Dae-beom's hair.

My goodness. Dae-beom.

-Your nose is bleeding.
-Goodness.

-Let me see.
-Gosh.

I can't believe we saw blood.

Park Dan-dan. How can you do that
to your older brother?

That jerk ate all my ice cream.

What? You beat up your brother

because of some ice cream?

How dare you call your older brother that?

Is this how you teach the kids?

Dan-dan.

Don't call him that ever again.

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

I don't know.

Dan-dan beat up Dae-beom
and gave him a nosebleed

just because he ate her ice cream.

What?

Dan-dan.

Why are you all scolding me?

Dan-dan.

Park Dan-dan!

Why did you eat her ice cream
and cause this mess?

You're her older brother.

Will you stop it?

Why would you smack him on the head

when he already has a nosebleed?

Yeon-sil. What's the matter?

Dae-beom,
did you get beaten up by Dan-dan?

Mom always takes Dae-beom's side.

Shouldn't you take mine, then?

Why do you always defend Dae-beom
and not me?

You're talking nonsense again.

But you're my dad.

You make all the money,

but Mom gives Dae-beom all the drumsticks.

I like drumsticks too.

Okay.

I'll tell Mom clearly

that she must be fair
when she gives out drumsticks.

Are you happy now?

Dan-dan.

We're a family.
We shouldn't be taking sides.

You shouldn't talk like that.

That'll upset Mom.

You don't know how I feel.

Are you hitting puberty?

Why are you so grumpy?

Dad.

About my birth mom…

Is she really dead?

You're not lying just because

you're worried I'll say
I want to live with her?

Park Dan-dan.

How many times must I say she's dead?

Then at least show me a photo of her.

I want to know what she looks like.

I told you.

I lost all the photos
when our old home burned down.

Don't lie. That makes no sense!

Kid, are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm fine. I'm not hurt.

What's this?

It's blood. I'm bleeding.

There you go. You'll be fine now.

I'm glad it's not too bad.

Kid.

You can't run like that
without looking ahead.

You could've gotten in a huge accident
if I were driving a car.

I'm sorry.

But I'm not a kid.
I'm a 13-year-old young lady.

Are you?

All right, young lady.

Watch where you're going
from now on, okay?

Where do you live? Somewhere nearby?

You hurt your knee. I'll give you a ride.

Don't mind me and go on your way…

What did I say? I said it would hurt.

Which way is it?

This way or that?

I'm not going home. I ran away.

So stop asking where I live.

Kid. Did you run away from home?

What if I did? Why would you care?

And why do you keep calling me kid?

Hello. Is this the police?

I want to report a runaway kid…

-No, a runaway teen…
-No, don't.

-Don't report it.
-Yes.

-Don't!
-Get here quickly!

I said don't!

Are you okay?

Does it hurt badly?

I'm sorry. I was teasing you.

You were teasing me?

You didn't really call the police?

You said you wouldn't go home.

Tell me where you live,

or I really will call the police.

Seriously. Who are you to do this to me?

Me? I'm a soldier who defends our country.

Is this it? Is this the place?

I thought so, but I was wrong.

It's over that way.

I think.

This isn't it either?

Okay, then. Hold on tight.

Pedal fast.

Faster than before.

We're at the wrong place again?

You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

Do you know how many times
we circled the area?

You're treating me like your sl*ve!

I can't help it that I don't remember.

I told you not to bother
and just go on your way.

This won't do.
I really have to call the police.

Okay, wait.

I might remember where I live

if you let me play whack-a-mole.

No, you play.

Come on. Give it to me.

-Whack it like this.
-Is that how you do it?

Like this?

Like this?

This is fun.

Is this the place? Your home?

Yes. This is it.

Thanks for today.

I feel better after going around
on your bike

and playing whack-a-mole.

Go on inside.
Your parents will be worried.

Okay.

Oh, right.

Mister!

What?

What's your name?

Why do you care?

That's not fair.
Why can't you tell me your name?

He's so cool.

How weird.

Why do I feel like I'll see him again?

I'm off.

Dad, are you leaving
without eating breakfast?

What? Oh, yes.

Honey.

At least have a bite.
I made dried pollack soup, your favorite.

An urgent call came in, so I have to go.

An urgent call? Like what?

Oh, I guess there's an urgent meeting.

Dad, just a second.

At least have some rolled omelet.

Thanks, Dan-dan. I'll get going, then.

-Bye.
-See you.

Mom, Dad seems to be working
too hard these days.

Tell me about it.

Gosh, my head hurts.

What's wrong? Do you have a cold?

Should I get some medicine?

What? No, I'm good.

Eat your breakfast and head out.

What about you?

I don't have an appetite.
Enjoy it all to yourself.

Gosh. Are you kidding me?

How can you
be sleeping like this right now?

Get up, darn it!

-Get up.
-What now?

"What now?" Do you really not know?

What on earth are we going to do?

Did you look into it?

Is all our money really gone?

Don't ask.

What are we going to do?

I must've been out of my mind.

Those darn rats.

How could they sell us a story

about a lost treasure ship?

What are we going to do?

What if your father and Dan-dan find out
that we lost the deposit on this house?

Do something.

Think of a way out of this

and stop sleeping like nothing happened!

What can I do?

The guy who sold us that story

got arrested for fraud.

Before your dad finds out,

we have to at least put back
the deposit on this house.

Do something!

But there's no darn solution.

Should I go and sell my organs?

You crazy brat.

I told you it seemed too good to be true!

Mom! We should at least
get the facts straight.

I suggested we only invest
the 10 million we had.

You're the one who took out
the deposit on this house

and switched it to rent.

My gosh.

Fine.

The both of us should just end our lives.

Goodness.

-What…
-Not again.

Dae-beom, did you get into trouble again?

Don't be absurd.

I heard her say
you should both end your lives.

Why would you do that?

Is it another money problem?
Is that what happened?

Of course not.

I'm tired of his constant drinking

which is why I said it out of spite.

Life sure is easy for you, isn't it?

People can barely make a living
even if they work hard,

but all you do is drink and party.

Even in his old age,

Dad left for work
without eating breakfast.

Mom, shut her up, will you?

It's not like I'm wrong.

If I were you,
I'd at least work as a delivery man.

Companies are still constantly hiring!

Why you…

Darn brat!

Oh, my head…

Have you still not hired a driver?

We did some interviews
since we need a live-in driver,

but the chairman rejected them.

I can always conduct interviews myself.

I honestly can't take it anymore.

Just hire someone already.

And send Driver Kim
to the department store.

Can I help you?

That nose of yours.

-My nose?
-You went under the knife, right?

What's your problem?

No, I just mean…
I was just admiring the work.

Could you tell me where you had it done?

Darn it.

Ma'am.

Ma'am? Please open your eyes.

Ma'am?

Doctor!

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

Yes, it's me.

What?

Mom!

Do you recognize me?

Se-ryeon, what are you doing here?

-Let's take a look.
-Okay.

Ma'am, how many fingers?

One.

-And this?
-Three.

What's with you all and where am I?

She may leave now. She seems to be fine.

Thank you so much.

What…

But…

Where on earth am I?

Mom, you almost died
from the nose job. You weren't waking up.

And you're in the ER.

My gosh. Did you call your brother?

Hey, Young-kuk. Over here!

You brat, why on earth
did you call your brother?

Why did you come all the way here
when you're busy?

They brought me to the ER over nothing.

I would've woken up when I had to.

Mom,

do you think the doctor
called an ambulance

because he was bored?

You almost died!

I only asked for a minor tweak to my nose,

but the anesthetic
must've been too strong.

You seem to be fine,
so I'll get back to the office.

Sure, get going.

That cold-hearted punk.

He wouldn't have left
if I were his birth mother.

He still only thinks of me
as his father's mistress.

That darn brat.

He still came all this way
out of concern for you.

I doubt he was worried about me.

I bet he came here to see if I were dead.

Mom, people will hear you!

He wasn't this abrasive

when his wife was still alive.

My gosh.

What's wrong? Does it hurt?

It hurts.

CREDIT CARD
340,000 WON

What the…

Mom, what did you buy this time?

Gosh, Mom. I still haven't been able

to make the payments on last month's bill!

Unbelievable.

Stop shouting!

Besides, all I bought was a shirt.

Get a refund. I won't say it again.

But you buy designer items all the time.

What I paid is less than a quarter
of what you pay for your clothes.

If you want to buy them,
earn the money yourself!

Mom, I'm hanging up.

Come in.

Ms. Jo, what should I prepare
for dinner today?

Didn't we agree on steamed abalones,

a salad, and abalone porridge?

Well, the wild abalones
we were supposed to get today

won't be shipped out until next week
due to the bad weather.

Is that so? Then braised shank

and Se-jong's favorite fried shrimp
would be nice.

A non-salty cabbage doenjang soup too.

Gosh, look at the time.

I'll pick him up right now,

so please set the table
with the snacks I made for him.

But he said he wanted tteokbokki.

With fish cakes and ramyeon noodles…

Ms. Yeoju, kids shouldn't eat food

that can ruin their palates.

Have you been feeding him
such food behind my back?

Of course not!

I'll get going, then.

My goodness.

Unbelievable.

She's acting like the lady of the house.

She's just his late wife's friend!

We're both employees
working for this family.

Follow me, everyone.

Se-jong!

Is it you who's picking me up today again?

Why? Don't you like that I'm here?

I never said I hated it.

Se-jong, you should take my hand.

I'm not a baby anymore.

I'm a big boy now
so I don't need to hold your hand.

Of course. You're not a baby anymore.

Se-jong, look out!

You should watch out for cars.

I already saw the car coming.

I told you, I'm not a baby.

Se-jong, you should have some more.

Se-jong.

Did you remove the carrot slices
from the sandwich?

I guess he wasn't in the mood for any.

-You can head upstairs now.
-Stay out of this.

Se-jong, not wanting to eat them

is no excuse to throw them out.

Carrots are good for you.

I hate carrots, though.

Don't be like that and have a few bites.

It will strengthen your immunity

to protect you from catching a cold,
and help you see better.

If they're that good,
have them all to yourself!

Why do you keep pushing me
when I don't want to?

What? I don't want to eat them!

The carrot soup smells like poop!

Gosh, Se-jong.

Why did you make him cry?

Jae-ni!

Ms. Jo, explain yourself.

It's just that Se-jong

was throwing the carrots out

and being picky about his food.

I used to hate carrots
and broccoli as a kid too.

But our mom never forced me to eat them.

Not even our mom
scolded Se-jong like this,

so who are you to raise your voice at him?

Who do you think you are?

I wasn't scolding him.

I was telling him he should eat well
to be healthy.

Ms. Jo.

Don't force Se-jong to eat
what he doesn't want.

Got it?

Jae-ni, it's crucial to correct
bad eating habits as a child.

Just do as you're told
instead of talking back!

You'll only do what I order you to do.
Got it?

Jae-ni!

How dare you talk like that to Ms. Jo?

She's the adult here, not you.

Dad.

What's that on your lips?

A student shouldn't wear makeup.

Are you happy now?

Jae-ni!

Stop right there!

Father, don't.

She's like a viper these days

She will bite just about anyone

Se-chan, what's with your clothes?

You should dress neatly at all times.

Got it?

It didn't seem like a big deal,

so why are you telling off the kids?

Without their mother around,

they've been talking less
and losing confidence.

Why that darn brat…

Mom, I'm heading out.

But you just got here.

Have dinner with us
and stay for the night.

I have dinner plans.

Ms. Yeoju, I'll get going.

And Ms. Jo, don't work so hard.
Don't push yourself.

Got it. Take care, then.

-Bye.
-Mom, Take care.

Wait! Who are you having dinner with?

Is it Ji-sub?

Mom, that was over a long time ago!

-Get back here.
-I can't believe you remember him.

I apologize for not doing a better job.

I was only making sure
Se-jong was eating healthy,

but I guess I went overboard.

Ms. Jo,

just let the children be at ease for now.

Yes, sir. I understand.

I'm well aware of the hard work
you put in.

Just hang in there a little longer

until I hire a new tutor for them.

I don't mind doing the job
I've been doing.

That's absurd.

You already have a lot on your plate.

You may head out.

Sure.

-Bye!
-Bye!

-Another part-time job?
-Yes, I'll see you tomorrow.

-Ms. Park.
-Yes, boss?

It's nothing. I'll see you tomorrow.

Have a good day, boss.

Oh, dear.

-Do you like it?
-Yes!

-Isn't it pretty?
-Yes, I love it.

And for you…

-It's pretty.
-Yes, and it suits you well.

That's the right amount.
Apply any more and it'll be…

I put in some extra money.

Consider it a bonus
for all the regulars you bring us.

Thank you, boss!

Oh, no!

-What was that?
-Was there an accident?

Did someone get hit?

Are you all right?

-Is he dead?
-Is he all right?

-Is it serious?
-My gosh.

What? He's up.

-He's up.
-What a relief.

I'm so relieved.

My goodness.

I'm glad. He doesn't seem hurt.

I know, right?

He was very lucky today.

You're right.
He scared the life out of me.

Motorcycles are so dangerous and scary.

It's such a relief.

Excuse me. Is he all right?

Yes. Fortunately, he's just bruised.

-I'm sorry.
-Gosh, what a relief.

Thank goodness.

I'm so glad that he's okay.

GO EXPRESS DELIVERY

Excuse me. Please let me off.

GO EXPRESS DELIVERY

Dad.

Dad, is that you?

Dad.

Dad, it is you.

Dad, what are you doing here?

What is this motorcycle?

Dan-dan, the thing is…

Dad, what is all this?

You almost died just now!

It's okay, Dan-dan. I'm all right.

I'm not hurt.

I'm not going to die.

Dad!

Dan-dan.

Have some honey water. It's warm. Go on.

You should've told us
that you left the company.

You've been doing this for six months
without telling us?

Why would you do such a dangerous job?

I have to pay back the loan.

You don't have to do it alone.

We're a big family.

You don't have to suffer all alone.

Don't tell your mom about this.

She will be worried.

Okay.

Anyway, I want you to quit right away.

Okay?

Yes. I'll quit.

Promise me
that you won't do anything dangerous

ever again.

All right.

I promise. I swear.

Yeon-sil.

Oh, hello.

Why aren't you answering my calls?

You're driving me crazy here.

My phone is broken.

Gosh, what's with this?

Mom, the landlady just stopped by.

Don't call me, you punk.

So what are you going to do?

You haven't been paying the rent,
so you've lost the deposit.

Please give me some time.
I've been having some problems.

I'll be sure to pay the rent on time.

You're not the only one who has problems.

Things are tough for me too.

I'm putting the house up for lease again,

so move out within the month.

Ma'am, wait. Please.

Ma'am. Please wait…

Mom.

What is going on?

I thought we had a lease
on a deposit basis.

What do you mean, pay the rent?

You…

No way.

Honey.

The thing is…

I mean…

Dad, I'm really sorry.

Mom didn't do anything wrong.

I told Mom

to invest money in that treasure ship.

That's why this happened.

It's all my fault.

That's not true, Honey. It's my fault.

Dae-beom wanted to talk to you about it.

But I thought you'd oppose,
so I stopped him.

And it's me who took out the deposit.

They told us we'd make

at least ten times the money
once the ship was salvaged.

I wanted to buy you the house

that g*n and Dae-beom lost five years ago.

But then…

How could you be so ignorant?

I can't believe
you fell for such a ridiculous fraud.

A treasure ship?

Even a little kid would laugh at it.

And you blew the deposit

on such a stupid thing?

What are you going to do now?
What will you do?

Dan-dan, that's enough.

It's no use crying over spilled milk.

I'm just glad
that we are all well and healthy.

We can make money again.

Dad, do you even hear yourself?

Our family is about
to be forced out onto the streets.

We might have to move
into a basement room.

We can just make money again?

Did you get such a dangerous job

to give Mom money?

When she just loses
your hard-earned money to fraud?

-Dan-dan, stop it.
-What do you mean?

A dangerous job?

Do you even know
what Dad does to make money?

Dad almost died in an accident
delivering packages on a motorcycle!

Honey, what is she saying?

Dad, you can't live like this forever.

It's not too late.

Get a divorce. Divorce Mom!

Dan-dan!

Divorce?

How could you say that to your parents?

Why shouldn't I? I don't want you

to live like this anymore.

So just get divorced!

Dan-dan!

She's the one who raised you.

How could you be so ungrateful?

Ungrateful?

Do you really want

to look after Mom's family like this
until you die?

We're about to go broke again,
but you still love her?

Is that why you abandoned my birth mom?

You and Dad had an affair

and abandoned my birth mom.

That's how she died.
Did you think I didn't know?

No. I didn't do such a thing.

-Your mom was…
-Yeon-sil!

You must've hated my birth mom so much

that you don't have
a single picture of her.

Do you know

what I can never forgive you for?

How could you

not remember
where you scattered her ashes?

How is that possible?

Did you hate her that much?

Then you should've abandoned me too
since I'm her daughter.

It must've been so hard for you
to put up with me the whole time.

Fine! I'll get out of your way now.

Okay. Get out. Leave immediately!

Gosh, Dad. What are you doing?
Please don't do this.

Hey, Dan-dan!

Dad, please stop her.

Let her leave.

Dad, please. I'm really sorry, Dad.

Hey, Dan-dan. Wait.

Dan-dan!

Dan-dan!

Dan-dan!

Park Dan-dan!

Park Dan-dan!

Dad.

I'll come back a success.

I'll succeed

and make up

for everything you did for me.

Dad.

I hope you live a long life.

What are you saying?

Will you leave home as well?

Dae-beom.

You're really leaving?
You can't leave too.

Mom. I have a conscience too.

I can't stay home when Dan-dan's gone.

Mom. I'll come back a success.

So take care of yourself.

Dae-beom. You can't go.

You don't have anywhere to go!

Open wide.

It really is tasty. It's mouth-watering.

Guk-hee loves your green onion kimchi.

Especially when it's freshly made.

Is she not home yet?

No.

She's out drinking
with Chairman Lee Young-kuk.

Chairman Lee Young-kuk?

Yes. They've been seeing
each other a lot lately.

I hope she doesn't come home tonight.

I wish they'd spend the night together.

But Chairman Lee and Guk-hee are friends.

They are friends
but they're also a man and a woman.

If they cross the line
they can become husband and wife.

Guk-hee is so prim and proper
that she just can't cross it.

My dream is

for Guk-hee to spend the night
with Chairman Lee.

Would that even happen between those

who have been friends for over 20 years?

That's why I'm egging her on.

To please cross the line.

Where's Sa-ra?

She's not back from work yet.

Their live-in tutor quit,

so she comes home late
after putting the youngest to bed.

I should tell Guk-hee

to convince Chairman Lee
to give Sa-ra a big bonus.

She works so hard.

Hey.

Why are you back so early?

You said you'd meet Chairman Lee
for a drink.

He has kids to look after.

He has so many people
working at his place.

Why didn't you get him drunk
and do the deed with him?

Mi-sook, can you not say that?

Young-kuk and I are friends.

You should take what I say seriously.

Now that you've turned 40,
you have no more blind dates.

You can only choose
from divorced men and single dads.

It bothers me that he has three kids,

but Chairman Lee is
the best match for you.

Get out, Mi-sook.
I want to shower and sleep.

Why does he have three kids
and not just one or two?

Mi-sook.

Fine, you brat.

Here you are, Mom. I'm leaving.

Take care of her for me, Auntie.

Sure. Visit more often, okay?

I will.

My handsome son.

When do you finish your tough studies
and become a doctor?

Jun-o. Shall I buy an apartment
across from your school

so we can live together?

Auntie, can you talk to her, please?

-Go.
-Bye, Mom.

-Go on, quick.
-Son.

Son.

Mom. We agreed
you'd never mention blind dates again.

I'm going to marry FT Group's chairman.

Chairman Lee is
a single dad of three kids,

but would a company chairman

care for a member of his staff?

Stop dreaming about something

when the other party
is not interested at all.

It's none of your business what I do.

Guk-hee and Mi-sook are trying

to sink their teeth into Chairman Lee.

Guk-hee is a university professor.

If she were to make a move,
would he even look at you?

Mom. Guk-hee is an adopted orphan.

Hey. Darn you.

I told you not to say that.

After Mi-sook lost her sister,

she took in Guk-hee
and raised her the best she could.

If they were to hear that,
they'll kick us out.

I'm just saying
Guk-hee isn't that better than me.

If the chairman were to date her,
he would've long ago.

You're dreaming too big.

You live here
because you have nowhere to go.

If you climb a tree too tall for you,

you'll end up with a broken leg.

I'll climb that tree
even if I break a leg.

Don't talk about dates again, okay?

What should I do about you?

This neuro-psychiatrist spelled it out.

Even parents or relatives

can cut ties if they're a bad match.

Just think of them
as one of many relationships.

Yes. Let's think
I was an orphan all along.

No.

I really was an orphan

all along.

DAD, MOM, JERK

WILL YOU DELETE THREE CONTACTS?

BLOCK CONTACTS

BLOCK CALLS AND MESSAGES

Where should I go now?

A STAR FOR A MEMORY
A STAR FOR A POEM

A STAR FOR SILENCE
A STAR FOR MOTHER

Hey, Yong-sik.

Where?

What the…

She's like Bambi. How sweet.

Honey,

did you just call me Bambi?

That's right.
As of today, you're my very own Bambi.

APPLICATION FOR DIVORCE

It's a divorce application.
You should sign it too.

Five years ago, g*n lost our house

on his pipe dream
of becoming an entrepreneur.

If you had divorced me then,

you'd still have the deposit
left on this house.

So you'll divorce me

after putting me through the wringer?

If you're that sorry about it,

pay me back every penny
and then divorce me.

Honey.

Have you not heard me all these years?

If it hadn't been for you

back then,

Dan-dan and I could be long gone by now.

I only made it this far because
you reached your hand out to me.

You helped me raise Dan-dan

and I promised to pay you back
in every way possible.

Did you think I'd break my promise

over a deposit on our house?

Honey.

Honey, I'm so sorry.

I won't cause
this kind of trouble ever again.

I'm so sorry.

All right. I hear you, so don't cry.

Don't worry about Dan-dan
or Dae-beom either.

They'll call soon.

But

what are we going to do?

We have to move out of this place.

Don't worry.

I'll make sure to put food on the table.

Hey, there.

A job?

Yes, I'd gladly do any kind of work.

A live-in personal driver?

What do you mean, the academy is closing?

I've been

meaning to tell you
for quite some time now,

but I couldn't bring myself to say it.

I'm aware of all the hard work you did,

but I can't even pay your salary.

I'm truly sorry.

But sir…

I'll do what I can to pay you what I owe.

Sure.

Hang in there, all right?

Thank you.

CONVENIENCE STORE, ACADEMY, TUTOR

APPLICATION COMPLETE

Gosh, that's good.

What's there to life, right?

You enjoy a shot of soju
and cheer up again.

I've already applied
to enough part-time jobs,

so I doubt I'll end up starving.

What lies before Park Dan-dan

is a wide world

and a future that couldn't be brighter!

Yoo-hoo!

Yoo-hoo!

Yoo-hoo!

Yoo-hoo!

Why don't I see a single person?

Am I on the wrong path?

But this is obviously a hiking trail.

What's he doing, hiking in a suit?

Talk about being shady.

DANGER!

Hey.

You shouldn't go that way.

DANGER!

Darn it. Why is he following me?

Miss!

Miss!

"Miss"?

Oh, no. Could he be a pervert?

Why is he following me? What does he want?

Miss!

Hey!

-Miss!
-Why does he keep following me?

Stop!

Miss.

Miss.

-Please don't hurt me.
-Watch your step!

Take this, you dirtbag!

Help. Please help!

Hey.

Hey!

He must be dead.

Oh, no. Did…

Did I just k*ll someone?

Did I?

Something must've happened

-to the chairman.
-What?

Aggravated as*ault with a deadly weapon?

I won't let this slide.

You know what?
You're like a patronizing dictator.

Jae-ni.

I'll have indigestion at this rate.

I'd rather stay single and unmarried.

I won't, unless it's with Chairman Lee.

When will you stop pining
after a man out of your league?

He's at Mi-sook's house
being treated as Guk-hee's boyfriend.

I need to earn money for my family

so I have no time to be in a relationship.

Sweetie, I'm loaded.

-Do you have to move in there right away?
-Promise me you'll stay quiet.

No one can know you're here.

What would you say
to being a live-in tutor?

Mister!
