It blows to think so,
but I might be your brother.
What? My brother?
Something like you is my brother?
Did you know you had one?
There's no way we're siblings.
That's impossible.
Kang Bo Reum!
Are you insane? Do you have a death wish?
You... You startled me.
You're not the only one.
I was just as alarmed.
Why would you run off like that?
What did you come here to find out anyway?
There's nothing I want to know.
I came to tell you...
not to spread lies about me being your sister.
Lies?
I'd like it to be a lie more than anyone else.
I'm just as appalled by the fact that you're my sister.
Where's your proof?
What makes you think so?
Proof?
We'll have proof once the test is run.
In the meantime, I have something to show you.
Whether you come or not is your choice.
Are you coming?
I'm leaving then.
It's surprising news, right?
Yes, a little.
Nothing's certain though.
I only told Hae Rang because I wanted her to stop herself.
I knew that Si Wol would be devastated...
to find out that his long lost sister...
is the one who's giving him all this trouble.
You can't choose your family,
but it's better than never meeting those you lost.
What matters is that they're still alive.
How did you persuade him though?
It didn't seem like he was going to change his mind.
- Who? Mr. Kim? - Yes.
What about the settlement? Was it steep?
Don't worry about that. Just forget about it.
Tell Kang Si Wol that things were settled amicably.
Okay.
I'm glad that it ended before it got too far.
There wasn't much I could do for him...
and I was worried about an aggregate sentence.
Thank you.
Don't say that.
I shouldn't be thanked at all.
I'm just glad that I could at least help him in some way.
(Letter of Resignation)
You're resigning?
It's as if you've won the lottery or something.
Who was it?
How much did they pay you...
that you settled with that scumbag?
Mr. Gu Jun Hwi.
Who? Gu Jun Hwi?
He found me a new job too.
Who's your master? Me or him?
Answer me, you bum.
You pathetic bum.
Goodness.
What did you just say? Pathetic bum?
Say that again.
How dare you order me around?
You aren't just a bum.
You're a pathetic bum, you vermin.
How could a dog bite his owner over a few dollars?
Do your children know that you make money this way?
You know what?
I called him an orphan and a piece of trash...
because it was your order,
but I was frightened, to be honest.
Why? What made you scared?
Because it's thoughtless and rude.
My gosh. What a saint.
I couldn't sleep even for a second at home.
I was scared,
and I was so apologetic to him that I couldn't sleep at all.
But you seem nonchalant,
calling me a bum and a vermin.
It's because that's how you are behaving.
I didn't say anything wrong.
Just accept my letter of resignation.
What letter of resignation?
It's not like you passed an exam to get this job.
All you can do is drive.
As expected, poor people have no pride.
If they're given some money,
they can forget about loyalty and everything else.
All they know is to run over and wag their tail.
I didn't settle for the money.
I did it because of a sandwich.
Don't look down on me.
What? A sandwich?
Are you out of your mind? What sandwich?
Goodbye.
Hey, get back here. Explain.
Explain so I can understand before you leave.
Hey, you punk! You...
(Recording)
You aren't just a bum.
You're a pathetic bum, you vermin.
How could a dog bite his owner over a few dollars?
- What is it? - It's for your blood pressure.
It seems you might need it.
What about Ms. Mun? Can you still not reach her?
No, she won't answer her phone.
What? Still?
Bring me my phone.
Yes, ma'am.
Why is she still not home...
when she can't even do her job properly?
(Madam Chairwoman)
Don't you dare.
Madam Chairwoman, my foot.
She's worse than a stray dog on the street.
You avoid feces not because it's scary, but because it's dirty.
I'm letting it slide for someone's sake today.
In case we get feces splashed on us.
(Madam Chairwoman)
The person you have called cannot be reached.
Hey. Why can't you be reached?
This is ridiculous.
The phone is turned off.
Are they all insane?
Hey, how dare you turn your phone off?
You're determined to die, aren't you?
Come back in here, and I'll just...
You really need a lot of care.
This isn't your first time, so why are you standing like that?
Must I drag you inside?
What is it that you want to show me?
Just get to the point.
Our picture.
How old are we in that picture that you're doing this?
Five years old.
You were so gentle back then.
How did you end up becoming so mean?
We took this on the day you were adopted.
The day we parted ways.
If you're trying to pull something with that single picture, drop it.
I've never seen my childhood picture even once.
This cute boy is Si Wol. This half-way cute girl is Bo Reum.
The director's last name was Kang.
And we were abandoned on October 15.
So I was named as Kang Si Wol,
and you were named as Kang Bo Reum. Do you remember it?
Your favorite song was "Magpie's Lunar New Year".
Your favorite food was...
thick kimchi jeon made with sour kimchi...
which didn't suit your age.
You left all excited alone, saying you were getting new parents.
"Bye, Brother."
"Be sure to come and find me."
You smiled and left.
Do you recognize your face?
Kang Bo Reum.
So Hae Rang found out...
that Si Wol is her real brother.
How did she find out?
I told her.
It was the chairwoman's order,
but I couldn't watch her take away her brother's job...
and turn a blind eye on his wrongful charge.
I'm sorry.
What... What did you just say?
Did she really do such a thing?
Fortunately, he was released without being sent to the prosecution.
That brat.
What was she thinking?
What did she say?
She seemed shocked,
but Si Wol took her with him.
I'm not sure how she's doing.
Then is it all settled about him assaulting the chairwoman's driver?
Yes, don't worry about that.
This won't do. I better go see her.
Officer Kim.
You know where she is, don't you?
She's probably at Si Wol's place.
Type his address here.
I'll get my jacket.
Tae Rang, have the car ready.
I'll go see her.
Your ankle isn't all better yet. Just stay home.
My ankle isn't important right now.
They might need some time to talk.
I mean, Hae Rang and Mr. Kang.
I agree with him.
Who told you?
That's not important.
Your family might be worried, you fool.
Your good-natured father must've overindulged you.
I'm sure your kind-hearted brother...
adored you without teaching you how harsh the world is.
You grew up together,
so why are you the only one who's so thorny?
What a waste of all the food you ate so far.
It's none of your business.
I never thought about you even once.
I wasn't reminded of you,
nor do I recall any memories of you.
And I lived on my toes all the time,
in case my family would show up.
What?
In case they would show up as an ex-convict like this...
and make me feel even more miserable.
To me, Tae Rang is my only older brother.
We've lived just fine without knowing each other.
Let's keep living the same way.
I won't be of any help to you,
and you won't be to me either.
Can't you see?
I'm not sure about you,
but you're a burden and a trap to me.
So that I wouldn't become someone like you,
I studied extremely hard.
You show up in that state and call yourself my brother?
Don't make me laugh. That's not an excuse for anything.
You're a murderer.
How could you run away after hitting someone with a car?
The lady you hit with a car is dead.
You killed her.
Mr. Kang.
Here comes her only older brother.
Where's Hae Rang?
She's gone.
Where did she go?
She just left without telling me.
How could you let her leave just like that?
I think she's at the chairwoman's house.
Who should go pick her up?
I think her one and only older brother should go.
If I go, I will just end up in another fight.
Hae Rang.
What are you doing here?
Let's go home.
I told you this is my home.
Do you even know who lived in this house?
The woman you loved used to live in this house.
Oh, right. Do you still love her?
Pack your stuff and move out.
If you can't do it, I will go in and pack your stuff.
You have no right to tell me what to do.
Then what gives you the right to stay in this house?
How could you even mention rights? Just think of what you've done.
No. I'm coming in with you.
We will pack your things and leave together.
When are you going to stop being like this?
Until he comes back.
Once Jin U comes back home, I'll talk to him.
Come to your senses.
Jin U found out everything about you.
What?
What did he find out?
What you did to Officer Kim.
You said you felt like you were on the edge of a precipice.
You are standing on the edge of a precipice now.
Then will you hold my hand and go back home with me?
Or will you fall down the precipice?
It's your choice.
Bye.
I will take this to the end.
I'm sorry.
This is my choice.
I'm home, Mother.
I mean, Chairwoman Hong.
Your greetings sound rather brief.
Can't you at least bow your head?
You have no right to come in here.
You're my secretary, but you didn't answer my calls.
And you even failed to put that ex-con in jail.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know Mr. Kim would settle with him.
You didn't know it, so you couldn't stop it.
And you couldn't even win Jin U's heart.
What is it you can do?
I heard you are good at hitting people.
What do you mean?
I hear you bullied other kids back in school.
The girl who got beaten up by you tried to kill herself,
and that's how I lost my nephew.
How ridiculous is that?
Chairwoman Hong, it's not like that.
Isn't it true?
What is the truth then?
Stop playing innocent.
Jin U told me everything.
Are you saying Jin U lied to me?
Whether you hit Cheong Ah...
or Seol Ah, I don't care about that.
But you can't be my daughter-in-law when you have flaws like that.
Since you've been loyal to me,
I will let you keep working as my secretary.
But you are out now.
Chairwoman Hong.
You're late.
Why are you still up?
I couldn't fall asleep.
I just needed to see you come home. Go get some rest.
Were you not waiting for me?
You were waiting to ask me questions.
If it's not something urgent, we can talk about it tomorrow.
There was an assault case.
The assailant is an ex-convict, so he'd get aggravated punishment.
He needed to settle with the victim.
Whom are you talking about?
Kang Si Wol.
What? Si Wol?
What happened to him?
Aunt Hwa Young framed him.
She incited assault.
What? She incited assault?
Did your aunt really do such a thing?
I will make an issue of it. I will never let it slide.
Did Si Wol get hurt?
It probably hurt his feelings again.
So is it settled?
Yes. Just this case.
I know your time is important.
But Si Wol's time is as important as yours.
So I want you to make up your mind as soon as possible.
Whatever you did...
and what decision you make,
I will stay by your side.
Gosh, what's all this?
Mom. This is a dishwasher.
You don't have to do the dishes anymore.
What is this? A waste disposal unit?
Is this for me?
There's also a garlic peeler, Dad.
I guess it's for you.
But what about mine? There must be something for me.
Dad, you said the best form of love is the elders' love for the young.
Which one is for me?
Hey, how could you say that when someone just moved out?
You should care about Jin U, not a gift.
I will just shave his head with a garlic peeler.
By the way, why did he move out without telling us?
He went back home.
He said it would be too hard to say goodbye to you.
So he decided to leave quietly.
He asked me to say goodbye to you for him.
So does that mean...
he's gone for good?
Yes.
That darn punk.
He just moved in all of a sudden.
And he left just like that?
He could've told me that he would leave.
He can't just move out leaving some stuff like this.
That darn jerk.
Send these back.
We have no reason to get these gifts from him.
No.
I will use these to peel garlic...
and dispose of food waste.
Right. Jin U got these for us. We don't have to send them back.
I'm just upset that the gifts aren't as grand as I expected.
- And he didn't get me anything. - That's enough.
Take these out so I can set the table.
It feels empty, right?
Because he fussed around all the time.
We will get used to it.
Is everything all right?
Of course, I am okay.
Not you. I meant Jin U.
Did he leave because of me?
What? Why would you say that?
He left because of me. Why would it be about you?
Yesterday, Jin U told me he found out about Hae Rang.
He apologized.
He looked like he'd barely slept.
Seol Ah, Cheong Ah, I found something awesome.
Look, it's Jin U's watch.
He left us something huge.
How much do you think it costs? It must be really expensive, right?
He must've forgotten it.
Where was it?
On the bathroom shelf.
Then it's obvious he left it by mistake.
It might not be like that.
He didn't want us to feel bad,
so he pretended to forget it.
That's how thoughtful he really is.
Shall we split the money?
Mom will yell if she finds out.
The three of us can split it quietly.
Do you want me to throw you down on the ground quietly?
How dare you?
Give it back to him.
This is his big picture.
He left it behind to make you come to him.
Did he?
He's really cunning.
As far as I remember, we've never had breakfast like this before.
Love for the son-in-law comes from his mother-in-law, you know.
Dad.
Mother, can I have another bowl of this?
Good. Honey.
Get him one more bowl with a lot of bracken ferns.
Mr. Kim quit.
I need you to drive me around until I find a replacement.
Yes, ma'am.
Is Jin U still living in that house?
No. He sleeps in his office these days.
In his office? Since when?
It's been a few days.
That fool.
Why is he sleeping in his office when he has a perfectly fine home?
If you're to make it to the meeting on time,
you must leave now, ma'am.
She's so two-faced.
Is he really refusing to come home because of her?
Should I just kick her out?
Yu Ra.
Come to my place right now.
Right now? I have to go to work.
Hello? Yu Ra. Yu Ra.
What's this? Did she just hang up on me?
Yu Ra. I'm here.
What on earth is wrong with you?
What have you done?
What do you mean?
I told you to leave Si Wol alone.
Why are you doing this too?
Can't you just stay put?
Why is everyone out to get me?
I'm trying to think what I should do.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with him!
Yu Ra. Why get so angry about something like that?
I get it. I'm sorry for what I did.
Will you calm down?
But I did it for you.
For me? What does that mean?
Is causing me more problems supposed to help me out?
He's a time bomb. A ticking time bomb.
How can we just let him be when he's right before us?
I started it all.
I ruined his life.
That's why I said I'd sort it out.
You don't have to.
It's not solely your fault.
No, it is.
I tried to help Jun Gyeom and ended up causing his death.
My poor Jun Gyeom must've felt like his heart was being crushed.
He wouldn't have been able to breathe.
Waking up every morning would've have been torture.
Thinking of the old woman he killed.
Thinking of Si Wol who took the blame instead of him.
It must've been terrible for Jun Gyeom.
I failed to...
think about how my own son felt.
I told him to go study.
I said I'd deal with it...
and told him to go inside and study.
It's all in the past.
What will you do about it now?
What about Jun Hwi? What will you do about him?
He has a judge for a mom...
and a righteous person for a brother.
Will you turn him into the brother of...
a hit-and-run killer and the son...
of a mom who framed an innocent man to save her son?
Will you?
Be strong.
The statute already expired.
You just survive the hearing.
I will leave Kang Si Wol alone now.
I'll let you deal with it like you said you will.
But...
you can't just sit and do nothing like you're doing now.
You must do something, anything, to sort him out. Okay?
Your mom gave me an earful already.
If you're here about Si Wol, you can get out.
I have a headache.
I'm here not as your nephew but as the majority shareholder.
Please be courteous, Chairwoman Hong.
The majority shareholder?
I think that was courteous enough.
Say what you will, Mr. Majority Shareholder.
You made your driver assault someone,
had your secretary fire someone,
and if that wasn't enough, made them give false statements.
I let it go a year ago,
but I won't do that this time.
If you won't,
are you saying you'll make me resign,
Mr. Majority Shareholder?
Resign.
There's no need for a shareholders' meeting.
What? How dare you? Me, resign?
Or come to the police station with me.
Don't try to choose.
I won't give you any other options.
What did you say?
A nephew is threatening to put his aunt in jail?
A nephew can't report his aunt to the police,
but is it okay for a sister to report her own brother?
Who do you mean?
Sister? Brother?
Are you talking about Ms. Mun?
Now that you know, don't do such a thing again.
Actually, you won't be able to anymore.
Because you'll be fired.
Darn it.
What are you doing?
- Did you pack everything? - Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am, why are you suddenly doing this?
I told you.
I can't have someone like you as a daughter-in-law.
I let you stay because I thought you'd be a decent secretary.
What? Your brother's an ex-con?
And it's Kang Si Wol of all people?
- Ma'am. - Get out of here!
I have nothing to do with Kang Si Wol.
I told him so.
Mun Tae Rang is my only older brother.
Can you please forgive me just this once?
- Must I have you dragged out? - Ma'am.
Yesterday, you let my driver settle with Si Wol.
Was it because you're siblings?
There's a reason people say blood is thicker than water.
Your brother has a record,
and you bullied others in school.
Ms. Lee. Throw her out and sprinkle salt behind her.
Okay?
Yes, ma'am.
Madam Chairwoman. Madam Chairwoman!
Who is it?
Say I'm not here.
Your wife is here.
What? Who's here?
Is she really here?
Yes.
How do I look?
A little scruffy.
Scruffy?
Mr. Cha, you can head home.
Yes, sir.
Seol Ah, you're here.
What brings you by?
Why haven't you gone home?
I was just about to.
Have a seat.
Did you sleep here?
You'll get sick at this rate. At least head to a hotel.
Are you here because you're worried?
No.
Then you missed me, didn't you?
As if.
Then why are you here at this late hour?
You're giving me the wrong idea.
I came to give this watch back.
I was going to leave it but came up...
when I heard you were here.
My watch. Gosh.
I should've hidden all of my watches around your house.
I wonder why I didn't.
Have you had dinner?
No.
Would saying that make you stay for dinner?
No, we've had enough dinners together.
That doesn't mean we can't eat today.
Don't be like that and join me.
We shouldn't have.
Jun Hwi was right.
We shouldn't have had meals together.
You must be feeling the void I left behind.
Not me, my dad.
Must you be this cruel?
You don't have to try any harder...
since I'm doing my best as is.
My mom shouldn't have told you.
I didn't want you to know that.
Don't beat yourself up over it though.
You didn't know when you had the affair.
Did you know that...
you can hold grudges?
Look who's talking. That's how you are too.
Since you're here though,
can I ask for a date...
before we finally part ways?
The period of time I agreed upon is over.
Another date will only make it harder for you.
I'm grateful.
Thank you for loving me again...
even though I don't deserve it.
I'm sorry for the way I treated you...
and I apologize for not returning the feelings.
I've forgiven you,
so don't be overwhelmed with guilt anymore.
Even though you've forgiven me,
you won't choose me, right?
Your mother...
is too much for me to handle.
I don't want her to hurt my family again.
I should get going.
Take care.
(Office of the Vice Chairman)
Jun Hwi?
Hi, Seol Ah.
Take care of Jin U for me.
Make sure he eats dinner...
and have him sleep at a hotel.
Sure. I'll make sure he has dinner.
I'll have him sleep at my place, so don't worry.
Thank you.
I'll get going.
She's really gone.
What now?
Do you want a tissue...
or a handkerchief?
Give me whatever you have.
I'm embarrassed enough.
She forgives me.
But still,
she won't choose me.
Come on. Let's grab some dinner.
I don't have an appetite anymore.
Then come home with me.
I'll fix something up.
I guess Auntie isn't here yet.
Wash up and get changed into my clothes.
I'll make dinner for you quickly.
Do it with care.
I don't lay an eye on anything other than homemade food these days.
Let go.
Just for a minute.
Let go.
It's almost done. Wait a little more.
I can't. I just can't wait.
Are you that starving?
Yes, I am starving...
for Seol Ah.
Eat slowly. You might get an upset stomach.
Hey, it's good.
All I did was make Seol Ah chew on sand.
Do you know how to make pasta?
I tried once.
But it came out horribly.
All I did was buy stuff for her. I never did anything for her myself.
But why did she say no?
She forgave you.
She says she can't live with my mom.
She doesn't want to see her family...
get hurt because of my mom anymore.
But...
I can't abandon my mom.
I can change. I'm willing to.
I can change even more, but that's no use.
Seol Ah and I will stay the same unless my mom changes.
Mom isn't willing to take...
even a single step.
Parents probably think that's for their children's sake.
For their children, they lie,
hide things,
and sacrifice someone else's child.
Without knowing that their children's lives...
are being twisted too.
Why does she think...
that's protecting me?
She doesn't know she's losing me little by little.
(Supreme Court)
I know your time is important.
But Si Wol's time is as important as yours.
So I want you to make up your mind as soon as possible.
What are you here for today?
I'm busy, so say what you have to say there and leave.
I'd like you to bring this to Ms. Park on Jun Gyeom's behalf...
because you're his mother.
I was going to go, but then I was reminded of you.
The two of them might want to see you more than me.
I don't understand what you mean.
You'll know when you get there.
(Hoje Charnel House)
Jun Gyeom held a funeral for the victim.
She had to move to a nursing home due to her hospital fees,
but he still visited her alone and cried at her bedside.
What?
He was a good kid.
Although I didn't know him for long, he cared about me more than himself.
From the start to the end,
he kept smiling so I'd feel relieved.
(Cheong Ah...)
"You stay alive."
"You're the victim."
"Please live my share of life too."
"Feeling happy with tteokbokki just like you did today."
"Feeling grateful for a short breeze."
"Please live my share of life happily."
He saved me and left.
He saw me go to sleep and left on his own.
I hope you understand him.
Even now,
he must be watching from above,
worrying about you.
(Cheong Ah...)
Mr. Gu, did you read the article?
What article?
Oh my goodness.
It's another article about the chairwoman's power abuse.
- What? - Really?
Who was the target this time?
No, who exposed this?
The chairwoman's driver.
What if Judge Hong doesn't get appointed...
because of Chairwoman Hong?
By the way, the shareholders' meeting is today.
I wonder how things will turn out.
Will the chairwoman be dismissed?
Then must we align with the vice chairman?
You know what the chairwoman is like.
If she was going to, she would've been dismissed a long time ago.
She was in good terms with the vice chairman at that time.
I guess it's up to the largest shareholder this time.
Who's the largest shareholder of our company?
I'm so curious too.
The mysterious largest shareholder.
Rumors say he's the son of Judge Hong.
- Really? - Yes.
Judge Hong's son?
The largest shareholder?
You aren't just a bum.
You're a pathetic bum, you vermin.
How could a dog bite his owner over a few dollars?
Do your children know that you make money this way?
Where is this punk?
Bring him to me right now.
He wouldn't answer his phone.
If he doesn't,
go grab his neck and drag him here.
Right now!
Calm down, ma'am.
There are reporters outside.
What is wrong with you?
Why couldn't you stop something this small?
Do you think I'm paying you so you can slack off?
I apologize.
Mr. Kim, that punk.
He knew the shareholders' meeting is today and exposed this, right?
To sock it to me.
Should we postpone the meeting then?
("Chairwoman Hong of Inter Market and Her Power Abuse")
Jin U.
Don't try to stop the articles.
Nor do you think about settling this...
by putting up an act of apology.
Don't worry because I won't.
I guess I didn't want to fight with my mom...
and so I wanted to put an end...
through the shareholders' meeting.
Shall I settle this if it's hard for you?
No, I will do it.
Before the meeting,
I'll make her resign.
What is this?
The shareholders' meeting is about to begin.
What are you doing with this suitcase?
Do you think I will cave in if you say you will move back in?
No matter what people say about my power trip,
there's no way I give in.
You might not give in, but your company...
and your son might collapse because of you.
The stock price has hit rock bottom, and there's a boycott going on.
And the press is...
making ugly headlines about you every day.
It will soon pass. It's not my first time.
Those who are making a fuss will cool off easily.
They are like boiling water in a saucepan.
That's too bad.
Even if it all passes,
I won't let it slide this time.
Step down from your position.
Or...
I will resign instead of you.
What?
And I'm not going home.
I'm going abroad.
What?
Once I leave, I will never come back.
You know what?
No matter what,
I didn't want to abandon you like Dad did.
Even Seol Ah asked me not to leave you.
So I tried...
my very best to understand you.
But I couldn't.
If you don't resign,
I will have to do it.
One of us has to...
take responsibility.
It's up to you.
Do you want me to move back in...
or go abroad?
(The 1st Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 2020)
We have an urgent announcement for the shareholders.
Today's meeting has been canceled...
due to Chairwoman Hong's voluntary resignation.
What do you mean?
Did Chairwoman Hong resign?
Is it because of the news reports about her power abuse?
I repeat.
Today's meeting has been canceled...
due to Chairwoman Hong's voluntary resignation.
What's going on?
- Why did she resign? - I can't believe this.
What are we going to do?
There's the vice chairman.
I'm Vice Chairman Do Jin U.
First,
I'm sorry to tell you the unfortunate news...
when you've come all the way here.
We were haughty and arrogant.
We didn't know what was precious.
We will reflect on ourselves not to lose precious people around us.
We will keep low...
and serve the employees...
as well as the whole country.
I'm sorry.
Please accept...
our sincere apology.
Gosh, what is going on?
- This is ridiculous. - What are they up to?
What's going to happen?
- I can't believe this. - How could she resign like that?
This is absurd.
How are they going to run the company?
Let's go.
That's not enough.
What is this?
Voluntary resignation?
It's his mom who abused her power.
Why is Jin U bowing his head?
Honey. Something bad has happened.
Honey, did you hear? This is serious.
Gosh, what's all the fuss in the morning?
The chairwoman of Inter Market resigned voluntarily.
Because of the news reports about her power abuse.
It's not surprising.
Wait. Does that mean...
Jin U is becoming the chairman?
What does it have to do with us?
Taste this.
It's too bland. Put in more soy sauce.
Honey, why did you cook seaweed soup and meat?
Is it someone's birthday?
It's my son's birthday. My very old son.
What? Is it my birthday today?
Really?
My gosh.
(Dad's birthday, Jun Hwi's birthday)
When's your birthday?
March 7.
March 7?
That's my dad's birthday too.
There's no way I'll ever forget it.
Why do they have the same birthday? What should I do?
Hello?
It's me.
I know.
Well... Listen.
Can we have lunch together?
I'm not available tonight.
Really?
Okay. We can have a long lunch then.
Thank you. I have such a nice boyfriend.
You are so generous.
Then I'll make a reservation and text you. Bye.
Hello? Hey?
Did she hang up on me?
What's up with her? Why is she so busy?
Did Mom go out early?
Yes. She's really busy with the hearing.
She's been working day and night.
Are you making seaweed soup?
Gosh, look at you.
Today is your birthday.
Today?
Can we have lunch together?
I'm not available tonight.
What? Did Cheong Ah forget about my birthday?
What are you saying to yourself?
Nothing.
It was easy to pick a gift for Dad.
But what should I get Jun Hwi for his birthday?
He's got everything.
What should I get him to move his heart?
She said she would never forget my birthday.
How could she forget all about it like this?
What? She said she's not available tonight.
Is she going somewhere?
I'm sorry I'm late. It was so hard to bring this.
I guess you're going on a trip without me.
A trip?
Going on a trip by yourself is the best.
I even went on a trip with someone and came back alone crying.
What?
Are you going far away?
Looking at the size of that thing,
you look like you're going abroad. Are you?
I went far, to the East Sea.
With a scumbag.
To see the winter sea.
What?
What a jerk.
Is this that same suitcase?
Why did you bring this with you?
So you'd remember...
how you dumped me on my birthday.
That day, you didn't even give me a present.
No.
You presented me with a break-up.
So I prepared the same thing for you.
I don't have much,
and there's nothing to buy.
I dated you for a while and you're not that great.
Let's just break up now.
What?
Pretend a rabid female dog bit you.
I'm a fool who can't even let you share my bed.
And...
you're such a bother and a nuisance.
Cheong Ah.
I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
How did I ever say that to you?
Forget that lunatic scumbag.
Please forget him.
It's that same suitcase. Open it.
What? Okay.
It's what I wanted to give you...
but couldn't because you dumped me.
Sorry.
Why is there so much?
Is that why you brought two suitcases with you that day?
Cheong Ah.
Not here.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
And I love you.
Happy birthday.
(The late Park Kkeut Sun)
It was a hit-and-run.
I...
hit someone and ran away.
Mom.
What do I do?
What do I do with the old lady?
Mom.
Go to your room and study.
Let me...
wipe the car.
- What? - Now.
Jun Gyeom held a funeral for the victim.
She had to move to a nursing home due to her hospital fees,
but he still visited her alone and cried at her bedside.
I didn't know.
Mom didn't know you suffered this much.
That you were suffering all on your own.
I really didn't know.
What I did for your sake...
turned out to...
make you take your life.
I'm sorry.
Mom's sorry, Jun Gyeom.
That day,
if I'd taken you by the hand to a police station...
If I'd done that...
Instead, I told you to study.
As if nothing had happened.
As if we were okay.
You were feeling so tortured,
and I didn't care for that.
I did wrong.
Mom was wrong.
Jun Gyeom.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jun Gyeom.
