It's nice and warm.

Home, sweet home.

Welcome.

What's going on? What are you doing here?

Say hi.

This is my friend, Dogyeong Choi.

He'll be staying here.

He's your friend?

There's a group, named N-Gaon, that we made when we were juniors.

Although Yongguk left after he went to the army.

I thought you were going to the Europe office.

More than that,

why would you stay here?

Thank you.

Jian...

lives with Hyeok Seonu?

Jian's...

at my sister's house.

What? Sister's house?

Hyeok Seonu's not reliable at all.

Dogyeong Choi.

Aren't you Yongguk Lee?

What are you doing here?

What about you?

I live here.

You live here?

Why do you live in a share house?

I operate this place.

I heard you invest in social enterprises. I didn't expect you to do this.

Let me talk to you.

What? You... You left home?

They kicked me out when I said I'll live on my own.

You got kicked out?

The grandson of a conglomerate is desperately looking for a normal girl.

She was an employee of that company.

Who's hosting this?

It's Haesung Apparel's Foundation event.

I didn't expect that from you.

That's why I have no place to go right now.

And what are you going to do now?

I'm going to get a part-time job. I need to make a living.

And then?

I'll look for investors.

Do you have an item?

I do. If it doesn't work out, I'll look for one.

Your grandfather's not easy.

Are you going to be okay?

Yongguk.

Do you think it was easy for me to do this?

We ran into each other. He had his reasons.

So I brought him here.

Let's talk. Let's go.

Bring your bag.

Why are you giving me order?

Let's talk, Yongguk.

Yongguk.

He can't stay here.

Why?

The story I told you before is about Dogyeong Choi and Jian Seo.

Why does that matter?

What?

Is someone disrupting your love life?

It's nothing like that.

It's going to make Jian suffer.

That's up to Jian.

-Yongguk. -Hyeok.

They live their own life.

But...

I like the fact that Dogyeong made such a choice.

That he moved in here for Jian?

No.

He left his family. He has no place to go.

What's going on?

You said you're going to the Europe office.

I've never said that myself.

That's what you believed.

When I said I saw the announcement,

and when I asked if that was the last of us, you didn't say anything.

You said you'd have a meal with me.

I thought I was lucky.

How could you lie to me and go out for a meal?

I was ready to be beaten up by you.

But I liked it. It was great.

Dogyeong.

I liked seeing your relaxed face.

It was...

our first date.

It wasn't a date.

It was your last day, so I was only being nice.

I know, but I saw...

you were true that day.

I was happy about that.

I wasn't true. It was because it was the last.

It's still the same.

You completely tricked me.

But...

this isn't going to do anything.

You better not think you can come whenever you like.

I have 80,000 won to my name right now.

What?

I got kicked out with nothing.

So I can't focus on you.

In other words, I can't afford to bother you. You don't need to worry.

Did you tell your family about me?

Do you think I'm crazy? That will only cause you trouble.

Then why did you get kicked out?

They kicked me out when I said I'll forge my own path.

Nothing to do with you.

Your own path?

Where did that come from?

I wanted to make a living on my own.

I was going to roam around you,

make you trust me

and realize that my feelings are true.

But it didn't go as planned.

So for me, my comeback and independence come first.

However,

do you know why I moved in here?

You're living with Hyeok Seonu.

After I found that out, I couldn't do anything.

I'm here because I have to be where you two are.

That's the only reason.

So don't mind me.

You've gone insane.

I can understand if you think so.

Stop it, and go back.

This is crazy.

And will you date me if I go back?

You shouldn't tell me what to do if you're not going to do that.

-You're in no position to tell me anything. -It's because of me.

I never said you're the only cause.

Treat me as a share house member, and so will I.

You don't expect me to talk about love with 80,000 won in my pocket, right?

-You should go back... -It's cold.

I'm frozen from walking around...

because I had no place to go. Let's go.

Dogyeong Choi.

And you...

shouldn't get any closer to him.

It's none of your business.

Fine. Don't mind me either.

I have no place to go anyway.

I'm going to sleep at my parents' tonight. Dogyeong.

You can use my room with Hyeok.

Okay.

Okay. It's 30,000 won.

Oh, I need this for the bus tomorrow.

Give me the change.

He said he has no money for the share house.

So he's going to pay 30,000 won a day for 10 days.

I explained you the rules for the share house. Follow the rules.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

-I'm going to take a shower and rest. -Okay.

All right.

Be nice to each other. Bye.

Dogyeong Choi is unbelievable.

I didn't know he and Yongguk were friends.

I'm sorry.

You even have to share your room because of me.

Wanna pretend we're dating?

What?

I'm worried what you'll go through when Haesung Corporation finds out

he's doing that for you.

Isn't that the easiest way to make him give up?

Do you want to date me?

That's not what I mean.

I'm willing to do that if that would make him give up.

But...

that's not possible.

Don't worry. He won't last long.

No, I bet he won't even last a few days.

50,000 won?

He has never taken the bus before in his life.

He's never set up the table once in his life.

How could he live without money?

It's impossible.

I'm glad if that's the case.

What about you? Will you be okay?

Why wouldn't I be okay? I won't pay him any attention.

That's what he said he will do, too.

I'm back.

Hee, how did you get back so early today?

Is Mr. Kang okay now?

Yes, he was still sick last night,

but he's better today. He told me to get some sleep.

You probably haven't eaten. Let me whip something up for you.

That's all right, Jian.

I checked if I could cook veggie porridge tomorrow.

All he could eat yesterday was rice gruel.

You packed to leave here. Where will you unpack now?

Sorry?

Jian, did he tell you?

You mean about your touching love story?

It's not touching at all. I'm so embarrassed.

Come on. No one can be embarrassed about love.

So where will you stay? You have to get married.

I know. I can't let him live alone now.

When I saw his room, I almost cried.

Namgu's room is such a mess.

Do you plan to live there when you get married?

Won't you get a new place?

Why would I do that?

His house is barren and needs work,

but his bakery is attached and it'd take too long to find a place.

Then...

I'll fix it up for you.

Will you do that for me?

Why are you sleeping on the bed?

This is Yongguk's bed anyway.

This belongs to nobody. First come, first served.

But I came to live here before you did.

That's not fair. Let's not dwell on that.

Whoever comes to bed first should take it.

Let's turn off the lights. I'm tired. I'll sleep now.

It's not even 10 p.m. yet.

Is that so?

Then keep the lights on.

I'll manage.

Dogyeong won't last a few days, right?

Why are you not answering me?

Because I don't know the answer.

Everything is going on as we planned.

I'll use the bathroom first.

"As we planned"?

Manager Min.

Yes, ma'am.

How could you make this mistake?

Vice Chairman's toothbrush is black, and mine is red.

You've been here for ages. How could you switch them?

I'm already stressed about Dogyeong.

I did not change the toothbrushes.

Who would come to our bathroom if not you?

If anything urgent comes up, give me a call.

And this is for you, Jisu.

He said that I can call him now.

He even made me a cutting board.

He's been so nice to me lately.

Is this part of my delusion, too?

Ms. Choi.

Ms. Choi.

Ms. Choi.

I...

I just wanted to check.

You...

treated me so differently from Ms. Jian Seo...

and Eunseok now.

No one pays any attention to me,

but you let Jisu do whatever she wants.

Is that why...

you took our toothbrushes for a DNA test?

I thought...

you could have adopted me...

after losing Eunseok.

I lived my whole life following your orders,

but you forgot about my graduation concert.

You even forgot that you forgot about my concert.

I felt invisible in this house.

How could you be so short-sighted?

We were raising you as our perfect daughter,

-but Jisu... -I was too lacking.

Seohyeon is already a perfect daughter.

Jian was smarter than me and adjusted better.

But you wished I wasn't yours because I wasn't good enough.

Isn't that why you ran a DNA test with my toothbrush?

Jisu, that's not true.

That's what even Grandfather told me.

If you were adequate,

do you think this disguise would be necessary?

Think how inadequate you must have been.

Is that...

how much you wanted that I wasn't yours?

I just didn't want

to repeat the same mistake.

Sit down. Let us explain.

Mother,

you didn't even welcome me.

I was flustered.

I accepted Jian as my daughter after 25 years.

I had a difficult time, too.

I poured out my affection I kept for 25 years.

However, after you came here,

I tried hard to forget about her.

Even when I found out that she had disappeared,

I didn't even try to look for her.

You should've asked me. She already came back.

She's back?

No, I mean...

If something happens to her, the responsibility...

I'm sorry that I'm your biological daughter.

Jisu! Jisu!

Look at Father. He's still...

Sit down.

Jisu.

Jisu.

After losing Eunseok,

I tried harder to raise you as the best daughter of Haesung.

I always put security details on you

and taught you the best manners.

I taught you how my mother taught me.

Don't you know that?

I know.

When Jian came, I paid more attention to her

because I had to teach her manners since we found her after 25 years.

And as you know, Jisu...

lived a wild life, which I must fix from scratch,

and she was hostile.

To make her like you...

Seohyeon.

Yes?

Do you...

want to be someone like Jisu?

No.

I find it strange to see how you changed like this.

I get it.

Your graduation concert was an important event,

but there was a more important event.

We had to reveal Eunseok at the anniversary event.

Didn't you understand that?

I did...

understand it.

Jisu ran away from the anniversary event, and even Dogyeong left home.

In the midst of this, we must look after you, too.

Where did you get such an idea?

I'm sorry.

She's right, but why do I feel like this?

Why do I feel wronged?

My gosh! This is so messed up.

Hey, you quit like a man. Why are you so down?

This is unlike you, Jiho.

I am getting more and more upset.

Hey.

Why do rich people use their money to look down on other people?

Is money power?

Is money class?

Money is power and class.

That's what you always said.

That's why you've been working like crazy.

Right.

I will do whatever I can

to become rich.

If they have a lot of money, they can use it however they want to.

They can wipe their bottom with it or sleep on it.

Why would they show off?

It's not like they're willing to give it to me.

Hey,

only nouveau riche do that. They say real rich don't.

Real rich?

CINDERELLA

You full of yourself.

Don't call me. I'm hanging up.

I'm full? My stomach is fine.

He just hung up. Is he busy?

I'll pay you quadruple today.

You just have to listen to what I say today. On the phone.

-Jiho. -Yes?

You know Seonghyeok from high school, right?

I know him. He was the bottom of our class.

I heard his dad sent him to an American college,

but he took drugs and partied until his dad dragged him back here.

Weren't you close to him?

We used to be quite close back in high school.

But he did a lot of trashy things,

so I cut ties with him.

Well, that trash...

is running some kind of a special cafe, and his business is thriving.

Let's go take a look?

You said you wanted to run a business.

Where is that?

I was going to roam around you,

make you trust me...

and realize that my feelings are true.

But it didn't go as planned.

Will you...

miss me, though?

I might.

However,

missing you won't kill me.

I was mad to say that.

-Did you sleep well? -Yes.

Dogyeong was gone when I woke up. He must've gone out to work early.

I see.

Have some bread.

What's gotten into you? Where did you get bread?

My baker friend gave it to me.

That good-hearted, naive, and off-the-wall one?

What?

Isn't she the one you made the cutting board for?

-It's good. -Isn't it?

It's really good.

-I'll leave it in the back. -Allow me.

Why are you smiling?

I just remembered something funny we did.

Gosh, it's cold.

Good morning.

Why don't you eat this bread?

You said you're on your own here. I'll just eat mine.

-Let's leave in 20. -Okay.

Gosh, I'll be late.

It's cold outside.

Why did you bother coming here to cook? The kitchen here is cold.

Just eat up already.

You must take your medicine three times a day.

Let's look for a room this afternoon.

Hyeok said he would fix the room and the kitchen.

Are you going to live here?

You said you don't have any savings.

I thought I was going to live alone forever.

I donated everything to my orphanage.

I regret it now.

-Why would you regret that? -This is good enough.

I'm okay as long as we can stay together.

Then should we...

register our marriage today?

Today?

Dogyeong must've made up his mind.

I hope Mr. Yang will make some time so that we can fix Hee's place sooner.

Do you want to design their furniture?

Can I do that?

She got me clothes,

so I can do that as a wedding present.

Then I'll drop you off and meet up with Mr. Yang at the site.

I will measure the room and be there around noon.

SECRETARY YU

Mr. Choi.

Where did you sleep?

Why didn't you come to my place?

I'll explain that later. Please do me a favor.

Yes. Tell me.

You have the file of my White Bio business proposal, don't you?

I do. I have all your business proposal files.

Then save all the files related to White Bio...

in a USB flash drive, and...

Do you have time this evening?

Jongno?

Yes.

I think he turned on his phone on the move.

On the move?

All right. Keep checking.

Dogyeong must still be in Seoul.

Now, I am getting curious about why he's doing this.

Where did he turn on his phone?

Why are you so slow? He said he was on the move.

For some reason, he doesn't want us to find out his whereabouts.

Ms. Noh and Mr. Jeong are here.

Bring them in.

Did you call Jinhee and her husband, too?

Here's why I summoned you.

It seems like Dogyeong has a woman.

-What? -What?

-Father. -We are in the office.

I am sorry, sir.

And I am trying to teach him a lesson.

That's why...

I kicked him out.

Is that why he took a leave...

without informing me?

Sir, you didn't--

I kicked him out.

If he doesn't come to his senses this time,

I'll consider him to be out of the family.

When will Jinsu be coming back? He's graduating this summer, isn't he?

When Jinsu gets back, I'll appoint him

the head director of Haesung FNB right away.

Will you appoint him as soon as he comes back?

I have no choice.

We will skip everything

and test his abilities right away.

Thank you, sir.

And tell everyone...

that Dogyeong has gone to Europe.

If the truth gets out, I'll hold you responsible.

They won't be defaming their own child.

If rumors spread, it must be you two.

We will remember that.

Until when will Dogyeong be kicked out?

Until when do you want him to be kicked out?

Are you asking when he will surrender to me?

I am sorry.

I crossed the line.

He must come back before he disgraces me

and does any damage to Haesung.

BUSINESS INVESTMENT COMPANY

I have to find one that's not related to Haesung.

Hey, mister.

Yes. How can I help you?

Will the gym open on the 25th?

We're closed on 25th.

That's only a few days from now.

What's this?

It stinks. You want me to wipe my body with that?

Did you just throw that towel at me?

I did. You need to smell it, too.

Sir,

this gym is a hygienic place.

How do you know that? You're just a part-timer.

Even part-timers get trained.

You slipped in a used towel, didn't you?

You can't accuse me if you didn't see that.

Do you want to check the CCTV?

Never mind. I don't want the hassle.

Part-timers are always the problem. Seriously.

But I am Dogyeong Choi.

They kicked me out when I said

I'd start my own business.

Don't act arrogant because you got appointed early.

Being the vice president is nothing.

He's been trained as the successor since the day he was born.

He won't do anything that goes against our rule.

They won't just sit and watch this.

Seriously. Why did he leave the house?

Oh, it's nothing.

I accepted Jian as my daughter after 25 years.

I had a difficult time, too.

I poured out my affection I kept for 25 years.

Is she back?

Eunseok...

learned our rules like she's one of us.

She was really clever, so Mom and Dad loved her.

Jisu.

Here. Look at this. What do you think?

"Dear valued customers, we apologize for the days closed.

The baker has regained his health."

You wrote a letter.

Today is the day my second life begins.

But my apprentice seems sad.

The start of my new life can't be depressing.

Go out.

And get some lunch. Get some fresh air.

Here. Put this on the door on your way out.

Here.

-Okay. -Okay.

Die!

Die. Just die already.

Those poor moles.

Manager Seonu.

What a hobby you have.

Well, I was just stressed.

You must be still bothered.

Yes. Well...

it's not something that can be easily fixed.

Then they won't be enough.

-How is it? -It's fun.

It's even better if you make a bet.

A bet?

The winner must grant the loser a wish.

All right.

-No, I must win. -Why are you so good?

No. It's mine. No.

You're really good. This makes you feel better, right?

Gosh, don't make me talk.

Look at this. My rank is high.

-Is it? -Yes.

Perhaps you've got the hunter's blood.

We've spent all our lunch time. So no food.

-By the way, Manager Seonu. -Yes?

You're talking to me informally now.

We made a bet, right? My wish is for us to be friends.

What? But I won.

The winner was supposed to grant the loser a wish.

But isn't the winner supposed to gain profit in bets?

It depends on the rules we agree upon.

Well, that's right. But...

What?

We're both 28.

It was uncomfortable to be so formal to each other. Don't you agree?

It never crossed my mind.

The start is good.

You can slowly adjust to it.

Here we go.

-What? -I'm back.

Why are you two together?

I ran into this one on my way here.

This one?

What's going on? Are you already in love?

No, we're not. We just made a bet, and we decided to be friends.

A bet?

You're a slay fox. Gosh.

Mister.

I am Hee's brother.

I know.

You should've been friends a long time ago.

Not need for formalities.

I will measure your room.

Right, brother-in-law. Follow me.

I'll see you later.

Okay. See you later.

I am sorry. I'm late.

Can't Mr. Yang make time for you?

He can do the construction.

I ran into a friend on my way back.

But since she looked down, we played some games.

The baker friend?

I owe a lot to her.

You're weak when it comes to friends.

By the way, you look like you had fun.

I will take you there next time.

Just give me the measurements.

Right.

Are you well?

Why are you talking to me?

You told me not to call you.

We didn't call each other. We just ran into each other.

So you keep working at the bakery?

What is that supposed to mean?

I didn't think they'd let you work at the bakery.

You must've walked on eggshells at my house.

Right.

That's not the case for me.

I don't want anything from them like you did. So I can stay confident.

I want nothing from them, so I have nothing to lose.

I'll leave the house if I'm upset.

That's good.

What's so good about that? It's just natural.

They still call me Jisu.

I told them I want to live as Jisu Seo.

They call you Jisu?

Yes. That's why I still work at the bakery.

I see.

I'm glad to hear that.

And things are going well with Mr. Seon.

Is everything going well with the family?

Why do you ask?

Are you asking after my family?

I'm just curious...

if they're doing well.

I still feel sorry for them.

Yes. They're doing fine.

They're fine?

Yes. They're fine.

I said they're doing well.

Oh, okay.

Take care, then.

Hey, Jian.

What are you doing in this neighborhood?

I work in the neighborhood.

See you.

She works in this neighborhood?

Did they really kick him out?

Jisu wouldn't lie to me.

I mean...

how could they be fine after kicking out their own son?

I don't want anything from them like you did. So I can stay confident.

They still call me Jisu. I told them I want to live as Jisu Seo.

That's why I still work at the bakery.

That's so like Jisu.

I'd like you...

not to make any other plans for the time being.

You lost 25 years with us.

Don't you want to get them back quickly?

From now on, you're never going out alone. Mr. Myung must accompany you at all times.

Won't you answer?

Understood.

Where did you sleep last night?

Why didn't you come to my place?

I know why you turned off your phone, but...

Give me the light and the USB flash drive first.

It has all the items

you've been working on, including White Bio.

Thank you.

Why did you leave that? You don't even have enough money.

Look at what you're doing.

How would you know that?

You left with only 200,000 won.

It means that was all you have now.

If you visited my place as the vice president,

you would've left me at least 2,000,000 won.

How do you know so much about me?

It's been five years. Five.

Then...

you know I'd never take this money back.

Things are different now.

That's enough. I start feeling weak.

This is for your mother.

Okay.

It might...

take me long to settle things out.

So...

you should go your way.

You wouldn't like the general affairs division,

but you should support your mother.

Do you want me to buy a cell phone in my name?

You can't do that.

You were one of my closest associates.

They'd call you and ask you about my whereabouts any time.

I'll act like I'm deaf and blind.

Chill.

Okay.

Then you should check your phone at least once a day.

I might need to call you for something urgent.

Okay. I'll do that.

Please come on in.

So this is the "room escape" cafe.

It must be fun.

The cafe is pretty big.

And it has a lot of customers.

I became busier as the weather got cold.

Seonghyeok.

When you started this cafe,

how much did it cost?

I don't know the exact amount. My Mom paid for it.

It must've cost more than 300.

What? 300?

-300,000,000 won? -Yes.

I'm sorry for bothering you at this late hour.

I know the store closes late. It's okay.

You're here because of the house, right?

It's one thing.

I just don't know what Taesu is thinking about.

What did he tell you?

Is he really going deep-sea fishing?

If he said so, he will.

He'd never make empty promises.

I just don't know what to do.

If he's going deep-sea fishing, why does he want to move out?

Once my daughter-in-law has a baby,

I should raise her baby.

That's what I'm saying.

So why were you so hard on Taesu?

You should stop him though.

How would I stop him? On what ground?

If Taesu isn't there, I'll rent the house.

I'll get the deposit and monthly rents.

It'll take some time until it gets redeveloped.

Seokdoo.

Monthly income is ten millions of won?

Thanks to his rich family, that idiot is now a business owner.

Jiho, my stomach hurts. I have a stomachache.

Are you hungry?

Let's just go eat.

By the way,

if I used only one floor, half the money would do, right?

No way. Let's go eat.

It's on you today then. Let's hurry off.

What do you do until this late hour every day?

Are you working?

I just have things to prepare.

Your drawers are empty.

Why did you get rid of your clothes?

I sorted out my stuff since we're moving out.

I won't need clothes once I go deep-sea fishing.

Do you really want me to live alone?

I've raised my children all my life. How would I live alone now?

Let the children go,

and live on your own.

That's the only thing parents like us can do.

I'd rather get a divorce.

Do you want that?

What is he doing in Jian's room at this hour?

Okay. I'll wait for a minute. Because they're friends.

I'm sorry. I left my old blueprints in this room.

It's okay. It used to be your room.

Hyeok, I designed the furniture and interiors for your sister's house.

-Come take a look. -Let me find this first.

Okay.

It's been more than two minutes. What's he doing?

Gosh, what's that? Is the next door on fire?

Hey, what's that smoke?

So it wasn't a fire.

Maybe it wasn't smoke. Was it the humidifier?

I'll sleep on the bed tonight.

Go for it.

Gosh, it's freezing cold.

You're right on time.

-30,000 won, please. -Sure.

30,000 won.

Thank you.

Here. My laptop.

Okay. Your laptop.

Ten thousand won rental fee.

Ten thousand won?

Thank you.

One more thing. Can I borrow your phone?

Just ten minutes.

His phone?

Not having a phone is such an inconvenience.

Did he lose his phone?

You have one. You just can't use it.

Wait 20 minutes. I'll find a part-time night job.

A part-time night job?

What are you doing out here?

Keeping an eye on you two.

Why won't you use your phone?

To avoid being located.

Text me if there's a problem.

I check my phone once a day.

Why do you need a job?

I need money.

Did you really have only 80,000 won?

No, I have 75,900 today.

I had 80,000 won,

but I paid 60,000 won for two nights' rent,

1,500 for a cup of noodles, 10,000 won for the laptop,

after the bus fare 2,600 won.

That leaves 5,900 won.

I was paid 70,000 won today,

so now, I have 75,900 won.

Do the math. I told you, it's 75,900 won.

You must enjoy playing a peasant's role.

If you can't avoid it, enjoy it.

What's he doing staying up all night?

It's great to smell your bread in the morning. It's been so long.

It's the smell of happiness.

You should deliver the bread from now on.

To say your morning hellos.

We planned a lunchtime date. So you can go instead.

Practice speaking freely to Hyeok.

Why can't you do that?

Give it a try. Use your nose, and be cute.

"Hyeok."

-"Hyeok." -"Hyeok Seonu."

-"Hyeok Seonu." -Hey, stop. It won't do.

I almost hit you.

When the guy wants to speak casually, say "yes". It's a good sign.

Well, I'll practice on my way there.

You do that.

Gosh, it's such a tiny space, but it can change like this?

This bed, closet, vanity, and drawer set...

-Hello. -...is designed by me.

Welcome.

She's a friend of mine.

Thank you.

We're discussing about our furniture.

Right.

Goodbye.

She's friends with Ms. Seonu.

They know each other?

How did that happen?

Did they work together?

Or meet in university?

Why are you waiting out here in the cold?

What shall we eat?

We need to go somewhere. Let's have sandwiches for lunch.

Where are we going?

I'm pregnant.

You're eight weeks pregnant.

This is your baby's heartbeat.

We'll text you your next appointment.

And we sent you a link that explains what to do.

Thanks.

27,140,000 won plus

10,000,000 won is 37,140,000 won.

I saved quite a bit over the year,

but it's still nothing.

If only I had worked until December, I would have received the severance pay.

That nasty woman ruined it.

You're eight weeks pregnant.

I'm working late today.

Let's talk at home.

Jitae.

Hello, Jiho.

Didn't you hear me? What were you thinking about?

Did you call me?

Where's Dad?

He's not in.

He sleeps in during the day and leaves before we come home.

And he comes home around midnight.

What do you mean?

He's really angry with me.

With you?

It's a long story, and I don't want to tell it.

Why are you here?

I hadn't been home in a while

and I want to discuss something with you.

About what?

Jitae, do you think I could get a loan?

A loan? Why do you need one?

I quit my job.

Four years of college costs almost 100 million won.

I hoped to borrow at least that much.

Would you have not gone to college then?

I would have.

If we could've afforded it, I would've gone to some kind of college.

Why not? Everyone does.

But I know the limits of my brain power.

So I did the smart thing and gave up.

Then don't think about starting a business.

Find another job, and save up.

I should, right?

Seonghyeok's parents will support him if he fails,

but I lose everything if I lose my savings.

Yes, I hope

at least you could manage to settle down.

I have to care for our parents,

and that burden is crushing me.

Why should the burden be yours alone? It's mine and Jian's, too.

But I guess you're right.

Our parents don't have a retirement plan.

Who knows? If Dad really goes deep-sea fishing,

he might save some.

He's not going anywhere. You know Dad.

From what I heard, Dad's just upset.

Are you staying for dinner today?

Talk to Dad when he comes home.

But I have a part-time job that starts at 10 p.m.

Then let's order some Chinese food.

Sure.

I'll check out your room while I'm here.

-What for? -To see how nice it is.

You said you were too sick to meet up and wanted to see me tomorrow.

Yes, but I feel better now.

Here.

It's what I've researched so far.

You'll find a few things worth importing among those.

Will you really quit this and go deep-sea fishing?

I want to spend some time alone.

I don't think you have the energy to last on a fishing vessel.

You've lost...

some weight in a few days.

It's only because I can't keep anything down.

Right.

When we had soup together last time, you had stomach ache, and you vomited.

Indigestion and stomach aches.

I hope you don't follow my back luck and end up with stomach cancer.

Don't say that.

Why would I want to follow that?

You need to get a full physical test before you go on board.

Go to a clinic tomorrow.

I appeared clean in one physical check-up.

But just two years later, I had stage three cancer.

When was your last check-up?

I don't know. I think it was seven years ago.

Hey. Once we enter our fifties,

we need to get checked every year.

When you found out you had stage three stomach cancer,

you cried as soon as you saw me and said something.

Yes.

I thought the indigestion was caused by all the drinking and hectic schedules

I put up with while trying to take root in Vietnam.

But then one day I felt a stabbing pain.

I vomited, had stomach pains,

and I even vomited blood later.

You couldn't sleep well, could you?

Don't even ask.

Everything turned yellow.

Right, that's why you cried so much.

When I heard the verdict, I got scared.

I just wanted to live.

My mother had surgery for stage three cancer

and died two months later.

I know.

It's for the best. Get a check-up

before going on board.

Have a drink.

It's a pity I missed Jiho.

He picked the wrong day.

He'll come by again before the new year.

Did you eat Chinese in here?

I opened the window to air the room.

I have morning sickness now.

Oh, I see.

We should see a doctor.

I asked if I can use my leftover holidays.

Okay, I'll ask as well.

I hope your parents...

don't find out about the abortion.

Let's say we'll go on a trip and come back a few days later.

Say goodbye. Goodbye.

-Say goodbye. Goodbye. -Let me see the baby.

Give Grandma a kiss, too.

You must be cold. Get in the taxi.

Go to Daddy.

There you go.

-Bye, Grandma. -Bye.

Goodbye.

I felt a stabbing pain. I vomited, had stomach pains,

and I even vomited blood later.

My mother had surgery for stage three cancer

and died two months later.

Are you all right?

Just a moment, Seokdoo. Sorry.

Sir. You must've had a good day.

What?

You're standing alone, but you were smiling.

Of course.

I had a great day.

It must be a Christmas gift.

I was given...

rest and peace.

Dogyeong.

Where could you earn money?

You must've had to work part-time.

-Mr. Choi! -I'm coming.

It's so hard to make a living.

What's all that?

I bought some things I'd need.

You seem to be in a good mood.

-Wanna watch a movie with me? -A movie?

I'd always wanted to come here.

What's this? What happened?

Happy birthday, Jian.
