[Hong Dae-young]
Do you want to know something interesting?
[Hong Dae-young]
It's about Hong Dae-young.
[Hong Dae-young]
[The person you have reached is unavailable.]
[Education Philosophy]
[Physical Education Teacher's Office]
What is it, Woo-young?
What are you guys doing here?
What do you think?
This is a teacher-parent conference.
I think we covered everything today.
I want you to think about it.
And call me.
What did you talk about?
Why are you curious?
It was between Ms. Jung and me.
Does it have anything to do with you?
No.
I'll ask her myself.
You'll ask her yourself?
Gosh.
Did something bad happen in there?
No.
What did you talk about with Mr. Choi?
Hey. Ae-rin.
Hold on.
You can go.
Okay.
You know, Ae-rin...
It's nothing.
Let's talk later.
[Episode 8, The Story Only I Didn't Know]
Do you want to know something interesting?
[Hong Dae-young]
It's about Hong Dae-young.
[2009 KBU Rookie Draft for Non-Athletes]
[10 years ago, I saw Hong Dae-young at KBU Rookie Draft]
[for non-athletes.]
[He stopped training.]
[So he couldn't compete with young players]
[who had been getting ready for the draft.]
[Of course, he didn't make it.]
[But...]
He's back again?
Yes. He's been coming for two months now.
-Two months?-Yes.
Coach, what are you watching?
Gosh, he's still here?
Yes. He's definitely tenacious. I'll give him that, at least.
-Il-Kwon. -Yes.
You said you knew him, right?
Yes.
What?
It's asthma.
"Asthma"?
I heard that's incurable.
If he doesn't take care of it,
his lung functions will decrease, and he won't be able to be normal.
[But it's possible]
[to treat this when the patient is still young.]
[Hang in there.]
Si-woo.
Please don't be sick.
Dae-young. Dae-young!
Someone is here for you.
What is this about?
The coach gave his blessing.
You can join our practice.
Thank you for the offer,
but I don't have time for that.
Why not?
Si-woo is sick. I need to make money for him.
You'll give up because of your mere son?
"Mere son"?
Dae-young! What are you doing there?
I need to get back to work.
-What? -I'm sorry.
Is that true?
Gosh.
You lived with the guy. You didn't know?
Gosh. I get it.
You had no idea about that, which explains your behaviors.
You must have money to achieve your dreams.
Look at Dae-young.
If he didn't stick with such a menial job to make money for Si-woo,
he would've been a fantastic athlete.
Da-Jung.
Think carefully about this.
Do you want your son to give upon basketball because of money?
Just like Dae-young?
[I thought he had changed.]
Did something happen?
Why are you drinking? You rarely drink.
Nothing happened.
Let me drink a bit more.
[But...]
What's wrong with you?
Another complaint had been filed against you. How many complaints do you have?
What on earth are you good at?
Is there anything that you're good at?
[I didn't realize that he was pouring]
[the energy and passion he once used to go after his dreams]
[into his family.]
Sir, you still have to pay for the cost of coming here.
You didn't fix anything, so why should I pay you?
Get out!
-Sir. Sir! -My gosh.
Sir!
You've been working this job for how many years, and you still can't do that right?
Aren't you embarrassed to face your coworkers?
I'm sorry.
Goodness.
Are you drinking again?
Aren't you embarrassed to face our kids?
Are you embarrassed of me?
Then do you think I'd be proud?
Gosh, you're so pathetic.
[Seum Wolves, Ye Ji-hoon's Press Conference]
Do you think he caused trouble?
-I knew he would do something. -I'm not surprised.
[Ye Ji-hoon's Official Announcement] [It has come to light that]
[despite being unmarried, I have a seven-year-old child,]
and I'm aware that many people were shocked and disappointed in me.
However, the person who was most surprised was my child.
My child
still calls me Uncle Ji-hoon.
My child
is the daughter of my brother, who passed away
from an accident two years ago.
[I have adopted]
-I didn't realize he was so cool. [-my brother's daughter.]
-I'm not surprised. -He adopted his niece?
[Through this incident,]
[my child's personal information became public,]
[and I was troubled by it.]
Mr. Ye Ji-hoon. I heard you were preparing to retire.
-What is he talking about? Retirement? -He's retiring?
-I didn't hear about this. -Me neither.
-Is he retiring? -Is this true?
I don't get it.
-Really? -Already?
In order to become a parent,
I needed to learn responsibility over giving up.
I'm going to show her.
I'll step on the mound, throw the ball,
and show her how I take responsibility.
I will continue playing
for the sake of my child.
-He's good. -Really?
-See? -This is big news.
-Thank goodness. -I told you.
-He's so cool. -It's not time for him to retire yet.
-He's doing it for his child. -Gosh.
Is the mother of the child alive?
I got a tip that the child's mom is still alive. Who is she?
Are you in contact with the child's mom?
[-Can you answer the question? -Please answer.]
You all know we don't have much time left before the game, right?
[Go Woo-young, Hong Si-woo] I want you to prepare well and be on your toes.
And Go Woo-young, Hong Si-woo.
You guys are still on the reserve squad,
so I want you to clean everything up before you go.
-Okay. You're dismissed. -Thank you.
Coach.
Shouldn't everyone help out with cleaning up?
Why? Do you have a problem with it?
That's how everyone starts in the beginning.
Both the parent and the child don’t have any class.
Si-woo.
-You should throw this out and go home. -Forget it. Let's do it together.
That will take longer.
-Let's finish up quickly and rest sooner. -Okay then.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Hey.
Go first.
[Serim High School]
I put in 50 percent more, like you asked.
Gosh, you're so exact.
[Don't worry about Ja-sung starting.]
Okay.
Please continue to show your support.
Right.
[Serim High School]
What was that just now?
Let's talk later.
Have you been paying him off so that I could play?
Tell me!
I only filled in for what you were lacking.
Is that something a father should say?
If you could play and go to college on your own, I wouldn't have given him money!
Then don't give him any money.
I won't go either.
I'm
embarrassed of you.
You punk!
You're always whining, just like that mother of yours.
You just need to do what I tell you to do!
If not, I'll kick you out of the house just like I did to your mother!
Gu Ja-sung!
Did it hurt?
Are you okay?
Why do you care?
You and Hong Si-woo always show up at times like this.
Hong Si-woo?
Are you
bullying Si-woo because of that?
How embarrassing.
Hey, Go Woo-young. I'm warning you.
Watch your mouth.
Drink this.
You can drink on a day like this.
I told you to mind your own business.
Why are you bothering me?
I don't want you to have regrets.
I got hit by my father a few times too.
He wasn't always like that,
but after my mother passed away, that's when it started.
You're not the one who did something wrong,
so why should you do something you’re going to regret?
I didn't mean to see what happened,
but I'm sorry anyway. I'll keep what happened today a secret.
To be honest, I quit drinking.
But I'll drink today with you.
Stop bluffing.
Are you trying to comfort me?
Why?
After hearing that I'm not good enough and I only played thanks to my dad's money,
are you taking pity on me?
You're
a good player.
You would've been good enough on your own,
but your father just met the wrong people.
So don't you ever think that you're not good enough.
And
don't do things that you'll regret later.
Even if it's someone you hate,
[turning your back on someone]
[for good]
will bring more sadness to you than you think.
What? This is non-alcoholic.
[Fresh Zero]
Hey!
How do I take him home?
My back hurts.
My gosh.
How can he get drunk on non-alcoholic beer?
He's still a kid, indeed.
[I knew it. I trusted you from the start.]
[Everyone is gathering because we know you had it hard.]
[You have to come.]
[We'd like you to be KD Bank's model again.]
[Please give me a call when you're free.]
How can everyone change just overnight?
Da-Jung must've watched the press conference too.
We're all here. Aren't you going to come?
I couldn't record him.
What should I do now?
Then the only way
is for a parent who has made a deal
with Choi Il-Kwon to come forward.
If a parent who paid him testifies,
will they be punished?
They will be,
which is why it'll be hard to get any parent to testify.
Give me a moment.
What?
Get out right now.
Do you even know where I am?
I'm busy working.
Your job requires you to slice pork cutlet while you work?
What?
Hey!
What, you're following me now?
Hop in.
Are you crazy? Why would I do that?
Let's talk inside then.
You have one minute.
Hey! What are you doing?
[Ye Ji-hoon]
Hey, Mr. Ye.
[What's up?]
What are you doing?
Just having dinner.
Really? I was just going to eat too.
Enjoy your dinner.
All right. You too.
That's all?
[It's such a relief]
[that you aren't going to retire.]
-Here! -What took you so long?
Where are you going?
-Ji-hoon, -He ignored us.
I'm sure you'll do well.
Where is he going?
I'll cheer you on as your fan.
Thanks.
What?
What brings you here?
I have to eat too.
And you just happen to be here.
What a coincidence, right?
Yes.
Did you come alone?
No, with my friends.
Why are you alone?
My friend stepped out for a moment,
but she's taking so long.
Are you crazy? Why did you bring me here?
This is where our history began.
How could you forget all about us?
I can't forget until I die.
You are
my first love!
Do you realize how old you are?
Goodness!
You can all go home from here.
What?
-Bye! -Bye!
[Stop acting this way!]
[I can't!]
[-This has been going on for years. -I can't give you up.]
Why are you so in love with me?
You're daintier than Kim Ha-neul in my eyes,
prettier than Kim Tae-hee, and cuter than Suzy.
I can't stop thinking about you all day. What do I do?
You need to take responsibility for it!
She said no!
Who are you?
Me?
[Don't do it. Don't you dare.]
[Please don't.]
[All right. I'll help you out.]
Who are you?
I'm Ae-rin's boyfriend.
You broke up with me to get with someone like that?
In my eyes,
he's the sexiest man ever!
She thinks he's sexy?
Good one.
You two look great together.
I must be the weird one here.
Have a good life!
Thanks for helping out.
I'll get going first.
What a day.
What should we eat?
-Pasta! -Pasta?
-Yes. -Is that good enough?
Maybe steak, then.
Steak! That sounds great!
You scumbag!
That's ridiculous.
[I know.]
[My head is all over the place, so I'm going home.]
All right. Don't worry about me.
Go home and rest.
Your friend isn't coming back?
No.
You can go talk to your friends now.
I'll get going first.
Let's go together.
I'll take you home.
It's fine.
Why? Is there a bus that gets you straight to home this time too?
No,
but your friends are waiting.
I don't feel good about taking your offer.
I hope you wouldn't think so much.
Sometimes,
thinking and acting simple is the best.
Simple.
Thank you.
You're going to say no anyway, so why thank me?
Are you saying that in advance for when you get a ride later?
It's not that.
I'm just going through something very complicated right now.
But thanks to you, I cleared my mind.
I'm only going to look ahead from now on.
I'll have your back, then.
I'm your first fan, remember?
I got your back.
Thanks for being my first fan.
Enjoy your night.
Get home safely.
It's okay.
I told you.
I'll always have your back.
No, he punched me first.
Gosh. It hurts.
Did you really punch him first?
Yes.
Since you're not hurt at all,
you should just settle and let this one go.
My lawyer will take care of the settlement.
I was talking to him, not you.
Can I make a call?
Will you really call your lawyer?
Gosh. Suit yourself.
[Agreement, Petitioner]
I'm at the police station.
I'm with Choi Il-Kwon.
I punched him.
I can put up with a lot,
but not when it concerns you, Ms. Ok.
-You crazy jerk. -Let go of me. What?
-Give me that! -Let go of me.
-Give me that. -Let me go.
-Give me that. Take this. -Sir. Help...
Come on.
[Trustworthy Seoul Police]
Gosh.
[Trustworthy Seoul Police]
-Gosh. -What happened?
It's nothing, Ms. Ok.
No, that's not true.
I saw him coming out of a hotel with a woman with my own eyes.
Your boyfriend has been cheating on you.
Pardon?
Are you under the impression Mr. Choi and I are dating?
Are you not?
This jerk said if people found out you two were dating,
you would be uncomfortable. He told me it was a secret.
Gosh. What are you talking about?
-Are you not well? -Get your hands off me.
You said you've been dating her for a month.
You said that on the day you asked to meet
at the bar and gave me the account numbers for money.
-You jerk. Do you want to die? -Stop that.
Gosh, he keeps lying. What's wrong with him?
I don't think he's lying.
Do you believe what this jerk said?
Let's just say that I don't believe you’re telling me the truth.
And based on your words and actions,
I was able to see your true colors.
And Mr. Go,
I lied to you that day because I didn't want you to pursue me.
Please don't misunderstand our relationship.
Gosh.
Don't pretend that you didn't lead me on.
What did you just say?
Don't pretend to be so classy.
Look back on how you behaved.
You kept leading people on.
That's why even a fool like him wants to date you.
Gosh. I know for a fact women like you always pretend to be so noble.
-What did you say? -How dare you insult her?
You came back as soon as you left?
-Just settle and leave. -Okay.
No.
I can't settle regarding his insult to Ms. Ok.
I wasn't talking to you.
[Petitioner: Choi Il-Kwon]
Get up.
Stand up straight.
Gosh.
You deserve more beating.
This won't do. You won't learn your lesson with this.
Don't move!
Get this. You deserve more beating.
I can't believe you.
Get that. I'm not done yet.
Get up, you jerk. Okay?
You psychopath.
Choi Il-Kwon!
"Choi Il-Kwon"?
Hey, you're up.
Who is that?
It's okay. He's nice.
Is he violent?
Why would he hit you for no reason?
I've been beaten up for no reason.
I got hit by my father a few times too.
He wasn't always like that,
[but after my mother passed away,]
[that's when it started.]
He did?
[Principal's Office]
I'm sure you know a while ago, Suheung High School's baseball team
was exposed for illegally bribing college admission.
I heard that the team wasn't doing so well
because the coach picked students based on the bribes he received.
I hope
you aren't like that.
Gosh, sir.
I'm a teacher before a coach.
I have only chosen my players based on their skills.
The team's performance is going down as time passes by.
Will you be able to make it to the national championships?
I'm going to check my players' skills
and decide on my starting lineup this afternoon.
If you don't trust me,
you can come and see it for yourselves.
We'll do that.
[Go, Serim High. You can do it!]
The new players are very good.
Yes, they are.
All right.
I'll announce the starting players. Bang Gi-Yong,
Gu Ja-sung,
Lee Jin-hyuk,
Hong Si-woo,
and Go Woo-young.
That's all.
I'll look forward to it.
[Go, Serim High. You can do it!]
[Let's go, Serim High Basketball Team!]
Well done.
[Go Woo-young, Hong Si-woo]
Sometimes,
thinking and acting simple is the best.
[Parents of Basketball Team]
[I'm Jung Da-Jung, Hong Si-woo's mom.]
[Coach Choi Il-Kwon asked for money in exchange for a place in the lineup.]
[So I would like to get together and discuss this in person.]
[I'll be at the cafe in front of the school at 7 p.m.]
Woo-young.
My father had to work, so I came here instead.
You didn't have to know.
It concerns me, so I should know.
Right.
But
it looks like no one is coming.
I hope
I'm not imposing on the other parents.
I like that.
You're trying to make things better for us.
You're doing the right thing, so don't think like that.
Okay?
Woo-young.
From now on, you shouldn't come to meetings like this.
This is something the adults should sort out.
You can just
focus on getting ready for the game.
Okay.
Wait here.
What?
Take this.
It's a digestive pill.
Okay. Thank you.
Oh, right.
How did you know I have indigestion?
I get like that when I'm stressed out.
Are you okay?
Yes, I am.
You don't look like it.
Give me your hand.
This is really effective.
How do you feel?
I feel like I'm getting better.
Right?
What stressed you out this time?
Who gave my woman trouble? I'm not going to leave them alone!
Okay.
I'm fine now.
I'll get going first.
Mom.
What's wrong with your face? Is something wrong?
What could be wrong?
You can't fool me.
You can tell whenever Si-a lies, right?
It's the same with me.
There's nothing wrong.
You will never be able to fix that habit of never sharing how you feel.
You're not a child anymore.
You have to take responsibility of your child too.
Thank you, Mom.
I'm sorry.
Time flies.
Mom. Did you throw out the papers that were on my desk?
Yes.
I organized your desk while I was cleaning.
My gosh. I told you not to touch my things!
Why are you getting mad?
Then why didn't you clean your room?
Who asked you to clean for me?
Gosh, I'm so annoyed.
"Annoyed"?
Is that appropriate to say to your mom?
You touched my stuff without asking. Of course I'm annoyed.
Grandma, tell Mom to stop.
Hong Si-a.
Why are you acting like that to my daughter?
Pardon?
I won't forgive anyone who upsets my daughter.
Even if that person is my granddaughter.
Apologize to your mom now.
Okay.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I had a daughter who's just like me,
just like you said I would.
Children are all immature.
I'm a mom and grandma because I'm here,
but in front of my mom, I'm just her daughter.
So you can live as a mom in front of your kids,
but to me, you can be a daughter forever.
If anyone upsets you, tell me.
I'm always on your side.
I haven't even eaten yet, but I feel so full already.
What did you do until now without having dinner?
I'll make you something to eat, so go and get changed.
Thank you, Mom.
Goodness.
I'm here, Mom.
Do you remember your son's face?
Are you more familiar with this face?
I went home for the first time in a while.
[I saw a picture of you on the wall,]
[and you looked exactly the same.]
[It was a face]
[that I longed so much to see.]
[Good job, everyone.]
[Mom. Good job.]
[I'll wait outside.]
[Okay. I'm almost done.]
[Sign Language, 1. The definition of sign language]
[Pancreaticobiliary Cancer Center]
Are you okay, honey?
What are we going to do about Dae-young?
I'm home.
Mom. Why does Dad drink so much these days?
Did you pack your socks? What about a towel?
I packed everything.
Don't overexert yourself because it's an away game
and don't get hurt.
Okay.
But
are you sick?
Why are you wasting your energy worrying about me?
Just focus on yourself during the game, okay?
Okay.
Dae-young.
You know
that I love you so much, right?
Gosh, that gave me chills. Why would you say that?
Hurry up and go.
-I'll get going. -Okay.
You should go in.
Okay. Go ahead.
[1999 National Athletic Meet, Men's High School Basketball, Victory]
We won!
[Serim High School] Hong Dae-young!
We did so well!
Dae-young.
Mom?
Dae-young.
Your mom's
surgery didn't go well.
What kind of surgery?
Why would Mom get surgery?
Wake her up.
Dae-young.
Wake her up!
Wake her up.
Your mom
was really sick.
Why am I just finding out that she was sick?
Why didn't you say anything?
Why didn't you tell me anything?
It was all for your sake.
Mom.
[Hey! No parents would want to ruin their children's lives!]
You sound like you actually care about me.
You punk!
Do you actually care about me?
You care so much that you hid Mom’s illness from me?
That's why you told Da-jung to get an abortion?
Did you ever think in my place?
You're just drinking every day. Don't say that it's for the family.
You did nothing for the family.
No, don't do that.
Stop it!
If you leave now,
I will disown you!
Aren't you Woo-young?
-Hello. -Anyway,
what brings you here?
My mother is resting here.
You're so young. It's unfortunate.
You can go on.
Yes, sir.
You can give that to me. I'll carry it.
-I'm fine. -I'll take it.
It's fine.
Is it her death anniversary today?
Yes.
That's the same as my wife.
My wife also passed away years ago today.
It's been years
since I came on her anniversary.
Why is that?
My son couldn't be
with his mother in her deathbed because of me.
I should've given him time to bid her farewell.
I regret not doing that.
Since then,
I wanted him to at least have some time with her on her anniversaries,
so I always came a day later.
But he's in Busan this year,
so I came right on the day.
Even then,
it seems like he came by earlier.
I see those flowers every time,
but I don't know what they are.
They're hyacinths.
What a difficult name that is.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
What?
That's the meaning of the flowers.
He shouldn't be sorry.
We're sorry as his parents.
Honey, how have you been?
Look at the grass.
Gosh.
[Priority Seat]
[I didn't want]
[to live like my father.]
[My father was]
[a selfish man.]
[But...]
My dad can't come to watch me play.
Are you sad?
It's fine. He's always like this, anyway.
What do you mean?
He always says that he cares and nags,
but he only cares about himself.
[All along,]
[I was becoming just like my father.]
[The world is cold,]
[and alcohol was the only way]
[to forget about my long days.]
Si-woo,
you really shouldn't be playing around! You need to study.
And Si-a!
All you do is hang out with your friends!
[I started to worry more and more]
[about whether my children could survive]
[in this tough world,]
[and the more the world struck me,]
[the more I yelled at them.]
-Where are you going? -To meet a friend.
Don't come home late.
[Just like that,]
[I became distant from my children,]
[just like my father]
[and I.]
Come here.
Sir,
if you have time, would you like to come and watch the game tomorrow?
Si-woo and I are playing.
Si-woo is?
I'll make time if I have to!
Please come.
All right.
-You can give it to me now. -It's okay. It's light.
Is that right?
[KBF National High School Playoffs]
[Go, Serim High. You can do it!] Go!
Gather up!
We're eliminated if we lose this game.
Everyone, bring your best game. Okay?
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
And there has been a change in the player lineup.
Gu Ja-sung, Bang Gi-Yong,
Gu Bon-seung, Park Jung-min,
Ha Soo-hyun. That's all.
[Go, Serim High. You can do it!]
Mark up!
[Gu Ja-sung]
[Baejin High School: 67, Serim High School: 54]
Serim High School!
This is how you're going to play?
We're 15 points behind!
If you lose this game and get eliminated in the preliminary round,
we'll be changing the coach to the team!
Sir...
Goodness.
-You can do it! -Go, Serim!
It's okay.
-Cheer up, Serim! -Cheer up!
-You can do it! -Let's go!
[We're going to win today. Good luck, Serim High School!]
Go Woo-young and Hong Si-woo, get ready.
[Let's win, Serim!]
We're changing players.
Let's go, Serim!
Let's go.
[Go Woo-young]
You can do it, Serim!
Nice!
[Baejin High School, 88. Serim High School, 76]
[Victory to Baejin High!]
Nice!
Over there!
[KBF National High School Playoffs]
Block him.
[Go, Serim High. You can do it!]
[Let's win, Serim!]
My son is amazing.
You raised him.
So you're amazing.
I raised him with you.
[We're going to win today. Good luck, Serim High School!]
[Baejin High School, 88. Serim High School, 86]
[Let's go, Serim High Basketball Team!]
[Go, Serim High. You can do it!]
[Baejin High School, 88. Serim High School, 89]
[Victory to Serim High School!]
-Yes! -Yes!

[Go, Serim High. You can do it!]
[Serim Basketball Team is bound to win!]

I didn't get to see your last game.
I'll make it to this one.
Today's game is the last preliminary game.
Where are you now?
It's been a while since I've been to the stadium.

I'll be there soon.

Don't cry.
You're my future.
And our baby is my future.

Just trust me.
Excuse me.

I love you.
