No!
You'll get in trouble if you speak.
Somebody help me!
Please, help me!
If it hurts, you'll die.
If you die, it'll hurt.
Gyeo Wool, no!
- Run away! - Hello, doggy.
What are you doing over there?
Hey, come down from there! Come down right now!
If you speak, you'll get in trouble.
You'll get in trouble if you speak.
Vice-president, the money that I gave Dae Beom is not because I bought the idea from him.
But I gave him that money because I have a big responsibility for how he lives now.
But Vice-president, isn't it hard to believe?
He came up with this idea seven years ago, before the Netherlands professor
when he was an undergraduate student.
An Dae Beom, aren't you refusing to be a co-author because there's something you're guilty about?
Are you sure you wrote that on your own?
Professor Park, are you saying we plagiarized the paper?
What's the difference between this paper with the Netherlands one?
Professor Park! Did you understand the paper in the first place?
Please don't forget that you are here as an examinee.
Young lady! Young lady!
Are you okay?
Did you get hurt anywhere?
- Thank you for helping me earlier. - Well...
That's not the point.
I'm really sorry to you.
Excuse me?
Actually, the guy just now is my son.
What?
But my son looks all grown up, but his mind is still five years old.
What are you talking about it?
So I'm saying
my son liked Seon Ah, who lived here before.
You know the Dae Beom's older sister, who passed away.
But he saw Dae Beom's sister dead here.
So he thought it'd be dangerous for you to be here, so he wrote those graffiti for you to run away.
Graffiti?
I'm so sorry.
But why did you...
Why didn't you tell me about this until now?
Young lady.
You came here to have some rest, right?
Can't you just think as some incidents happened at the vacation place?
We have to live in this town forever.
But if people figure out that my son wrote those graffiti, Mr. Bae will flip and make my son go to a sanitarium.
I'm really sorry to you.
But I can't live without my son next to me.
- I'll beg you like this. Please! - Please, don't do this.
Please keep it a secret. I'm really sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Please let it go just this time. - Please stand up.
Please keep it a secret. I beg you!
Look at you, An Dae Beom.
This is not just covering the Netherlands' paper, but it also covers the quantum theory.
And if that's the case, this proves that he didn't plagiarize anybody.
Don't you agree, Professor Park?
This started from the idea that Professor Lee and I came up with together.
And whatever paper he writes about with this idea has nothing to do with me.
Let's end it here for today.
And let's have a few days of careful consideration.
[Summer Strike: Episode 9]
Yeo Reum.
Welcome.
Did I interrupt you?
- No, not at all. - Hello, Gyeo Wool.
It's very spacious.
Please have a seat over there.
Teacher, I look forward to learning from you.
Oh, please stop it.
My learning is very short.
Please understand that.
Don't worry. You'll do great.
Did you make that on your own?
Yes.
It's very pretty.
Then shall we start?
There are consonants and vowels in the Korean alphabet.
- Why don't you go inside? - No, it's okay.
I have to walk Gyeo Wool anyway.
What a good doggy!
Are you also seeing me off, Gyeo Wool?
I told you not to go over there!
Let's go.
What's wrong with you, Geun Ho?
That household has been quiet for some time.
Do you also know about them?
Every family has their own problem.
Geun Ho is like that to Chang Soo's family.
Is Geun Ho his name?
Yes, Hwang Geun Ho.
Did that happen to you with Geun Ho?
You would've been very surprised.
I should tell this to Mr. Bae, right?
You seem like you don't feel right about saying it after all.
It feels like you are really inside my mind.
Geun Ho won't do something bad.
But if you are too worried about it, then you should tell him.
Oh, you walked too far with me.
Why don't you go home now?
Grandma.
If you were me, what would you do?
What was that?
It means to follow your heart.
But if you still can't figure it out, ask Gyeo Wool.
Okay, I will.
Teacher, get home safely.
Get home safely.
But Geun Ho is a sweet boy.
I'll see you tomorrow!
Let's go home.
[Police]
Hello.
- How are you? - I'm good.
I saw a recording of Geun Ho running out of this building from that surveillance camera.
Did anything happen?
Geun Ho came over to hang out a little bit.
Geun Ho came over to hang out?
Yes.
He likes to play with Gyeo Wool.
- Have a good one. - You, too.
Let's go.
Yes?
Bom, did you get off from your work today?
I suddenly had a make-up class at the tutoring.
I'll be there soon. Wait a little bit.
Wait, Jae Hoon.
You don't have to come today.
Why?
- Can we have one more ramyun here? - Yes!
What's going on?
I'm having dinner right now with my friend that you met yesterday.
Oh, really?
I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay.
Enjoy your dinner.
Okay.
Kim Bom, you are busy.
What are you saying?
How is your father?
My dad?
He's the same.
He didn't even know that I was getting released.
I guess you don't look like a baby anymore.
Really?
You were surprised that I got pretty, weren't you?
Do you still like pastries?
Of course! I can't have enough of it.
I got a baking certificate while I was in the juvenile detention center.
Really?
I'll bake a lot of pastries for you.
Sounds good!
You've got the certificate and stuff. You've grown up.
I'm going to start studying for the GED as well.
I think it won't be easy to go back to school.
Who would like to have me?
I'm sorry.
I will get angry at you if you say sorry one more time.
- Hurry up and eat more. - Okay.
We're here now.
Thanks for the ride. Here.
Also, thank you for dinner.
Sure.
It's so good to have you back, Dae Ho.
Oh, that's right.
I met my mom.
She came to see me at the center. It was embarrassing.
How was it?
I think it's better for you not to see your mom.
It felt terrible.
If they were going to do that, they should've not had us in the first place.
It's fine.
I don't care about it anymore.
Okay.
I just wanted to share this with you.
It's not like...
I have someone else to talk to about this.
Dae Ho.
Do you want to say hello to my grandma before you go?
No, not tonight.
It's because she cries whenever she sees me.
Get inside.
Okay. Bye!
- Good night. - See you later!
You better listen to your grandmother, okay?
Okay.
Your handwriting is very pretty.
No, it's all crooked.
What do you want to write first when you learn the Korean alphabet?
Kim Bom.
Kim Ha Neul.
Kim Jung Hoon.
Yeo Reum, I guess you might be lonely since Bom is not coming to the library these days.
No, I'm good at hanging out by myself.
But "I'm lonely and bored" is written on your face.
Yes, I'm a bit bored.
It's okay.
It's okay to be bored,
and it's okay to be busy.
It's all good.
Really?
Of course. That's human life.
Please continue to be friends
with our Bom and Ha Neul.
Of course, I will.
Then, do you have time tomorrow for dinner?
Who's this?
Is it Dae Beom?
Wow! Did you get a cell phone, Dae Beom?
Yes, I got it today.
Is it your first cell phone in your life?
Yes.
Really?
What's that?
It's something called emoji. You can find it if you click the face-shaped button at the bottom.
Ta-da!
Oh, you got used to it really quickly!
At age 17?
That was all I could do back then.
I wish I could be good at studying because I have nothing else to do.
I didn't mean it that way...
Why isn't he replying?
How was your childhood, Yeo Reum?
I didn't have anything special besides my name.
Ah~~
"Ah?"
What does this agreeing "Ah" mean?
It's been a while since I stayed up all night texting.
It's the first time for me.
But doesn't it hurt your wrists?
Hello?
We could've called from the beginning.
It's good to hear your voice.
But you have to go to sleep now, don't you?
I jogged yesterday as well.
I wore the sneakers you bought me.
It was hard at the beginning, but I love it now.
When I like something,
I have my own rule to figure out if I really like that or not.
What's that?
That rule is,
I think about if I'm going to do that on a deserted island.
And I think I'll be jogging every morning on a deserted island as well.
Me, too.
But it's a bit harder today since I stayed up all night.
I feel the same.
Yeo Reum.
Are you walking right now?
How did you know that?
Are you looking at me from somewhere?
No, it sounded like you were walking.
Wait one second.
Hello?
Ta-da!
It's the morning ocean in Angok.
Wow!
Can you hear the wave?
Isn't it pretty?
Yeo Reum.
Thank you so much.
You came in early.
Do you want some coffee?
- Professor. - Yes?
Stand up now!
Seriously, darn it!
Hey, American boy.
Why are you alone today? Where's Kim Bom?
You know Dae Ho's released.
Hey, come over here.
- I said come here. - Where do you think you are going?
I guess Kim Bom got together with the ex-convict.
Hey, don't speak like that about her.
Oh, my! I'm so scared.
Let me tell you something.
Dae Ho is Kim Bom's pimp.
Do you know he went to prison for making her have sugar daddies?
That poor American boy.
Be careful of that girl! You might lose everything.
You might also go to prison because of her!
You're crazy! That's hilarious!
Hello?
Unni, guess what I have in my hand right now?
In your hand?
- Yes. - Well...
I think I smell raw fish from your hand.
What? How did you know that?
Wow, you are so good at this.
You are on my palm.
Really?
I called you to come over to my place and have raw fish together with my grandma.
Yeo Reum! Can you come and take this out?
Yes, I'm coming!
What? Are you at my house right now?
Now I get why my grandma asked me to get some raw fish today.
Come home quickly. I haven't had raw fish in a long time.
Okay. Wait a little bit.
- Come home safely! - Okay.
Gyeo Wool, this is for you.
Is it good?
This is so good.
Grandma, your food really tastes the same as my mom's cooking.
People swoon if they have my cooking.
It's so good.
Can you get me some more rice?
- Grandma. - Yes?
Unni wants more rice.
- Hey! - Do you want to eat more?
No, I'll go get it.
No, let me do it for you.
Unni, you might have a stomach ache if you eat that much.
But it's been a while since I had a home-cooked meal.
Hey, Kim Ha Neul! Stop feeding Gyeo Wool. Otherwise, you might make her sick.
- And focus on eating your food. - Mind your business.
Gyeo Wool is having a feast today!
Can you do just a tiny bit of what you do to Gyeo Wool to me?
If you were sweet as Gyeo Wool, then I would've treated you the same. Right, Gyeo Wool?
What? Do you want to die in my hands?
- Stop feeding her and eat your food! - You guys are a very realistic brother and sister.
Gyeo Wool, you shouldn't act like her.
Wow, thank you for the food!
But what's this?
No way, Grandma.
Wow, you figured it out immediately. You are really good at this.
I asked you to come over today so that you could have this.
- I'm so excited! - I made it from scratch. Have a drink.
Grandma, you have to have a glass first.
She doesn't drink because she's sick of alcohol.
Since Yeo Reum's pouring for me, I have to have a glass.
- Why don't you go ahead and pour it? - Yes.
What? I've never seen you drinking, Grandma.
It's because I'm in a good mood today.
It's nice that our house is bustling.
Grandma, don't pour too much for her. She gets drunk pretty quickly.
I need to taste this since Grandma poured it for me.
Grandma, let's do cheers.
- I want to do cheers, too! - Me, too!
Cheers!
Gyeo Wool, do you want to have this as well?
Wow, this is so good!
What does it taste like?
How did you make this?
It's a top secret.
- She said it's a top secret. - I'm going to pack this with me when I go home!
Noona, did you look around for the house?
I knew rent in Seoul was expensive, but I didn't know it would be this expensive.
How are people living here?
Decent-sized places with two bedrooms are asking for seven to eight hundred thousand won monthly rent.
But they all ask for the maintenance fee separately.
I did my best and worked hard until now.
But I don't have enough money to rent a semi-basement apartment in Seoul.
Today I felt like I was less than mere dust in Seoul.
Noona, shall we sit down for a second?
Shall we?
Oh, my legs are hurting. I walked all day long.
- I thought your legs might hurt. - It hurts.
If I knew it would be this hard, I should've just signed a contract, even if it was expensive.
Noona, thank you.
I always thought that way, but I couldn't say it until now.
Sure.
Whenever I had trouble, you were the one who always helped me first.
Yes, I did.
And also I came here, thanks to you.
Okay, I get it. So stop it now.
But, Noona.
I'm going to go back to Angok after finishing this work.
I think going back to Angok
is right for me.
Why are you suddenly talking about Angok?
I already talked about this with Professor Lee.
I told him that after this case settled down,
I'll go back home.
No, he told me that he wants to continue to work on this project with you.
No, you can't.
You can't go back. You have to stay here.
Noona,
you have been my old friend
and my family for a long time.
So please trust me in this case
as you did until now.
I don't think I can talk about numbers
for the rest of my life with people here.
Dae Beom.
How can you make such a big decision like this?
You should get your Ph.D. and become a professor.
Wouldn't it be nice to study for life since you are good at it?
What are you going to do in Angok?
No, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said.
You might feel different when you wake up tomorrow, so let's talk about it again later.
Also, get a place where you can live comfortably.
Now you should think about yourself first, and don't worry about me.
Are you saying that from your heart?
Yes.
Do you know this was the first time you said thank you to me?
But it made me feel horrible.
Thank you.
Hey, Bae Jun. Play with the ball outside with your friends.
I don't have anyone to play with right now.
Even if there is nobody to play with, take it outside.
You're distracting me.
Jun!
Put Dae Beom Hyung on the phone.
This little brat! You should say hello to me first.
Dae Beom Hyung is not here.
You went to Seoul with him! Put Dae Beom Hyung on the phone right now.
I told you, he's not here with me. He went to work.
Hey, who are you talking to on the phone?
I don't know. She's not putting Dae Beom Hyung on the phone.
Oh!
Oh, Ji Young?
It's Seong Min! What are you doing?
Me? I'm not doing anything special.
What are you doing? Why are you so drunk? Who are you with?
I'm here...
by myself.
Where's Dae Beom?
Both you and your son, why do you guys look for Dae Beom from me?
Excuse me, Miss. Get out of the way.
Did you rent this stairway?
I don't have money to sign a lease.
I can't even pay monthly rent right now.
What are you talking about it right now?
A woman should have a fine drinking habit!
- Get out of my way. - Hey, you!
- What? - Jo Ji Young, don't get into a fight.
What did you just say to me?
Me getting drunk is one thing, but why do you bring up that I'm a woman?!
- I don't care about that. Just get out of my way. - Sir!
I have to call the police if you come out like that!
This is driving me crazy. Do you know where she is?
I don't know.
Seriously! What should I do?
I should've washed all the bedding if I knew Yeo Reum would stay over tonight.
It smells great!
It smells earthy and nice.
Unni, you are totally drunk!
I knew you were drinking a lot.
Then I'm going to sleep next to Grandma tonight!
Grandma! I think she'll switch me out and become your granddaughter.
It's not switching out but having one more.
Then you are my younger sister from now on, Bom.
- What? - Come here.
Unni will give you a hug!
Oh, seriously! Stop it!
You shouldn't make a loud noise at night. Let's be quiet.
It's cold at night, so don't kick your blankets.
And if you get thirsty, don't forget to drink some water.
We got it. Grandma, why don't you lie down, too?
Okay. I'm going to turn off the light.
Good night.
Unni, whenever I don't go to bed, my grandma always told me Gomji would come out.
- Gomji? - Yes.
What's Gomji?
I have no idea. Grandma, what is Gomji?
Gomji will come out. All of you should go to sleep now.
Gomji will come out!
- Gomji will come out. - Gomji will come out!
Gomji will come out.
Gomji, Gomji, Gomji.
Stop it! What are you doing?
What the heck am I thinking right now?
- Oh, you surprised me. - Oh!
- What is it? - It's Bae Seong Min!
How did you come here?
How can you go around drunk in Seoul City?
How did you come all the way here?
It's really surprising.
Stop saying nonsense and check if this is the correct address for your dorm.
You are amazing! Please give him a round of applause!
Seong Min.
I look stupid, don't I?
I bet you can see everything.
You can probably tell how stupid I must look right now.
I don't understand myself as well.
You can just keep your feelings for him.
A person's heart is like a wild horse, so you can't tame it.
So you should just give in to your feelings.
And especially, you don't have to worry about the other person's feelings.
That's something you don't have to worry about it.
Unrequited love has its own advantages.
No matter what the other person feels,
just looking at their face will make you happy.
It's not an unrequited love.
I'm saying, just don't hurt your feelings.
All right. I'll be quiet.
I'm so jealous of you, Bom.
You have such a wonderful grandmother.
You became her granddaughter today.
I hope you stay here for a long time!
I hope so, too.
It would've been nice if Jae Hoon was here with us today.
Jae Hoon?
Why would he come here?
Do you think Jae Hoon will go back to America when he graduates?
I don't know.
But I doubt he'll stay here. I think he'll go to Seoul or America.
Then how are you guys going to see each other?
Why would we see each other then?
We'll break up anyway, so it's better to hang out at some distance.
How is that possible?
If your grandmother hears about that, she'll say something.
Are you guys scared of maggots so that you can't make sauces?
What was that? Did you just impersonate my grandma?
- It was similar, wasn't it? - No.
Are you guys scared of maggots so that you can't make sauces?
It's so bad.
What a surprise.
What is it?
Do you want to have lunch with me tomorrow?
Make the sauce.
Should I?
What should I say?
Say, it's a night that I miss you.
That's so weird.
Sounds good.
Yes!
Bom, thank you!
What do you want to eat?
Korean food, Japanese food, Chinese food, or Bunsik?
Bunsik.
Yes, I knew we would have the same thing on our minds.
Yes, Bunsik.
Let's meet in front of Chungchoon Restaurant.
- What's going on? - What?
- Let me see it. - No!
- Don't be cheap! - What about it?
- Why aren't you showing it to me all of a sudden? - I just don't want to.
- Let me see it! - No!
You didn't cancel the movie tickets, did you?
Shall we see the movie tomorrow?
Is that Dae Beom Oppa?
What? You are the one who needs to make the sauce!
Yeo Reum Unni is going to see the movie with a guy!
It's not like that!
When did you two start going out?
What are you talking about it?
I hope you two figure out the way well.
Yes, we got this.
Since we came to now, I don't think we need to hold the ethics committee anymore.
Why don't we all have lunch together with the president of the university?
The president heard about you and wants to see you.
Shall we?
I have a prior plan, so excuse me first.
A plan?
What plan?
I'm going to see a movie.
If you are done, I'll get going first.
- Movie..? - Dae Beom.
Dae Beom!
Grandma.
When I get my paycheck, I'll use all that money to buy clothes. So don't judge me.
I won't judge you. Do what you want to do, Bom.
But are you going out to see someone?
Is it Jae Hoon?
No.
Yes.
My Bom is all grown-up now.
Oh, my.
Huh?
- Grandma. - Yes?
Did you forget to wash my sneakers?
Oh, no. I forgot about it.
- Let me wipe it quickly right now. - No, it's fine.
I'll just wear something else.
I asked you multiple times to wash this one.
I'm sorry I forget things.
It's okay.
I'm heading out.
Have a nice day!
Kim Bom!
- What are you doing here? - You should've told me if you are not working today.
You weren't at your workplace, so I came all the way here.
You could've called me.
I don't have a cell phone yet.
Wait.
Let me see.
What is it?
Did you put on makeup?
- No, I didn't. - That's not true.
- You totally put on makeup. - No, I said I didn't.
Where are you going?
- You don't have to know. - Get on! I'll give you a ride.
It's fine. I can go on my own.
Get on. I can give you a ride.
- Hurry up. - Hey!
It's because I'm bored driving alone.
Please?
Will you get on?
Dae Ho, don't go any further and drop me off in front of this bakery right here.
What did you say?
I said drop me off here.
- Drop me off in front of this bakery. - Where?
You just passed it! I told you to drop me off. What are you doing?
Drop me off--
- I said, drop me off! - Let's have fun!
What?
I think that is Bom.
She'll come.
I start working at the bakery tomorrow.
I might not have any days off for a while.
- Even so-- - Hey.
And it's my birthday today.
If that was the case, you should've told me earlier.
So let me borrow you just for today.
Hold on tight!
Wow, Yeo Reum.
- Shall we go inside? - Ah, yes.
We're here!
It's nice.
Excuse me for a second.
I'll go and get something to drink.
- Hello? - Hello?
Jae Hoon.
Bom, why aren't you coming? Where are you?
Jae Hoon, I'm sorry.
But something urgent came up, so I don't think I can see you today.
Oh, something urgent?
What happened?
Well, the thing is...
I'm sorry. Why don't we have lunch together on my day off next week?
Or you can come tomorrow to my workplace after work.
Sure.
- Bom. - Yes?
Stay safe.
I'll talk to you later.
Dae Ho, the meal is on me since it's your birthday. What do you want to eat?
When I was in the detention center, I missed two things the most.
Can you guess what those are?
It was you and the ocean.
I saw all of them, so I'm good now.
Seriously, what are you talking about it?
That's right. Wait a second.
- Take this. - What is it?
I only picked a few that came out well.
Wow, did you bake these?
If it tastes good, I'll keep baking it for you.
Was it Jae Hoon? Eat it with him.
Kim Dae Ho, but it's your birthday. How can I take this?
You and the ocean.
I received my present, so it's fine.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Aren't you glad you came here?
Yes, it's good.
My Yeo Reum ate this well.
Thank you for the movie.
- But, Dae Beom. - Yes?
You look like you've never been to a movie theater before.
Yes, it was my first time.
- Really? - Yes.
That's surprising.
You look very beautiful today.
I'm also wearing the sneakers you got me.
Then shall we go for chicken and beer?
Actually, I have to go back to Seoul right away.
Oh, you came here today only to see the movie with me.
Let's definitely have a beer together next time.
Okay.
Then if it's okay with you, will you walk with me to the bus terminal?
- No. - Right, you have to go.
- I'll run there. - What?
[Myeong Joo Bus Terminal]
Didn't my running get better?
Yes, really.
Isn't it almost time for you to go?
Yes, it is.
I figured something out this time, thanks to you.
What is it?
If I go to a deserted island,
I don't think I'll ever see a math book again.
Sorry?
Thanks to you,
I made this decision very easy.
I hope it was a good decision.
Yes, it was.
Grandma, I'm home.
Grandma.
Is she not home?
Where did she go?
Where did she go with all the lights off?
I was going to eat this bread with her.
What's this?
This is my favorite.
Where did she go?
When is she coming home?
[Summer Strike]
He confessed that he had killed the grandmother.
What are you talking about it?
It's driving me crazy because it's unfair to us as well!
If you had reported before, this wouldn't have happened!
You killed my mother!
If they hadn't met me,
Dae Beom wouldn't have had to recall his painful past,
and Grandma would've lived a long, happy life.
I shouldn't have come to this place.
