"Seoul, South Korea"

Your room is ready. Please enjoy your stay.

I'll call you for dinner.

Sounds good.

Thank you.

"My Korean Teacher"

"Three years ago"

"Ueno, Tokyo"

"Shinsei Food Co., Ltd"

I'm very sorry.

But our company isn't doing well right now.

We can't afford to renew your contract.

I'm afraid this will be your last month.

There's no way for me to stay?

You haven't been back to Seoul in three years.

Go back and talk to your father.

Surely, there's a job for you

among his many subsidiaries.

—Haruko! —Yes?

The documents, please.

Yes, that sounds fine.

Let's go with that then.

How did it go?

So that means the Okinawa trip tomorrow

will be your last assignment.

It's easy work, so enjoy yourself.

I will.

"Naha, Okinawa"

I'm home.

Yuri.

Yuri?

What's going on...

Hey, if you have a problem with me

don't keep quiet, spit it out.

(Korean) You're so annoying. Act like a man!

Please, Yuri. Calm down.

And speak in Japanese.

(Korean) He may not look it

but he's the president of an IT firm.

He's filthy rich.

Unlike you, he makes his own money.

That's my kind of man.

Hey.

Get lost.

"Seoul"

Young-un.

I'm surprised that you called.

Where are you? Still at work?

Yes.

I'm preparing for a business trip tomorrow.

"Oh my... you must be exhausted."

"By the way, son."

"You look really down."

"Is something wrong?"

No, nothing in particular.

"Your dad's here. Want to speak to him?"

Is he?

Dear, it's Young-un.

Would you like to say hello?

"Sorry. He was here a minute ago..."

I ran away from home.

He probably doesn't want to talk to me.

"Young-un, don't say that."

"Why don't you come back to Seoul"

"and work for your father?"

"He has been getting questions about"

"what his successor is up to these days."

Sorry, Mum. I need to wake up early tomorrow.

I'll have to go now.

"Okay. Take care of yourself."

—Okay. —"Keep in touch."

My life's a disaster.

Dear.

I think it's time you told Young-un

about your operation.

What for?

"Naha, Okinawa"

"Uehara Food Supply"

—Thank you very much. —You're welcome.

Hello, Mr Iwata?

I just met with our client.

Hello?

Mr Iwata?

I can't hear you.

Mr Iwata? Are you there?

I have no idea.

I left it all to my accountant.

Like I said, the police is here

at our office right now.

It looks bad.

You'd better stay in Okinawa for a while.

Apparently what you delivered today

isn't real ginseng.

Who are you calling? Let's talk.

—Yes, sir. —Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Mr Iwata?

—Hey! Hold it! —Hello?

You! From Shinsei Foods!

You...

Stop right there!

"You've reached Shinsei Foods."

"Our business hours are..."

"Yuri, I'm in Okinawa."

"But don't worry."

"Yuri: I'm at home."

"Don't worry about me."

"Open image"

Bloody hell, you witch!

Why did she choose that friggin' loser?

You'll regret this! Hell!

Hell!

What the hell am I doing?

(Korean) How do you do?

I'm Kawamoto.

Thank you.

—Right? —Yes...

Here's your set meal.

That sounds like a real disaster.

You can't go back to Tokyo.

You'll be staying here for a while?

Yes, my supervisor told me not to go back.

I can't even reach him now.

And my girlfriend...

is with this guy.

Take it easy.

Fate has brought us together.

Dinner and drinks are on me.

Drink to your heart's content.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you.

So it looks like we have a deal.

A toast to Lee Young-un's future!

Thank you!

More...

—Cheers! —Cheers!

Mr Kawamoto, you did it.

Have faith and you will be rewarded.

We should never give up too easily.

I'm counting on you, Teacher.

Mr Young-un.

I fail at everything I do.

But I sure as hell can sing!

"Turning in bed towards the wall."

"Listening intently with my back to you."

"I suppose this means you're leaving."

"It's not all bad."

"Gather up memories of our good times."

"Pack them into your bags with your things."

"If you never return"

"I hope you find happiness."

"But you'll always be welcome here."

"Just leave me with a little dignity."

"Slip out the door"

"while I pretend to be asleep."

Good morning!

I brought you breakfast. Rice ball.

May I come in?

Did you sleep well?

You sure had a lot to drink.

How are you feeling today?

Mr Kawamoto.

Thank you so much for last night.

Don't mention it.

Excuse me but... where am I?

This is where you'll be living.

Make yourself at home.

It's a good location.

And the school's nearby.

The school?

Yes. You're the new Korean language teacher

at Kawamoto Foreign Language Academy.

Wait. Don't you remember?

What we talked about last night.

A toast to Lee Young-un's future!

Thank you!

The Korean instructor we hired

vanished with our signing bonus.

Sayuri and I just happened to be

wandering the streets...

when you appeared before us.

No, I can't.

I can't possibly teach Korean.

Of course you can.

Besides, teaching is a thousand times better

than going around selling fake ginseng.

You don't want to return to Seoul.

And you have no one in Tokyo, right?

And then you said...

it was only right that one Korean

fills the vacancy left by another Korean.

And you willingly accepted the job.

You don't know how happy that made us.

So your first class is tonight at 6.30pm.

No way! I can't!

Please. If we don't start the course tonight,

I'll have to refund the tuition fees.

The school will lose its credibility

and we may be forced to close down.

Just do it for a week or even ten days.

Think of it as an act of charity!

—Please don't. —I beg you!

I can't do it!

—You can. —I can't!

Just for a while!

—No! —Please, Mr Young-un!

No... I can't!

"Kawamoto Foreign Language Academy"

I'm Lee Young-un.

(Korean) My name...

My name is Lee...

Young-un.

I'm 29.

I was originally from Seoul.

I've been in Japan for three years.

I'm very pleased to meet you.

Mr Lee, please continue using the textbook.

Page six.

Oh, page six.

Page six...

Please turn to page six.

Today, we'll be learning...

the various...

ways...

of... eating.

Take this for your stomach-ache.

—Thank you. —Don't worry.

The first day of class is always tough.

It's the same for everyone.

You're afraid of public speaking?

You weren't shy when you sang last night.

Was that liquid courage?

One of the students kept glaring at me.

From start to end.

You mean Yamashiro Sakura?

She was just paying attention.

That poor girl has it tough.

She's a young, single mother

with a child starting grade school.

She's raising her kid alone.

Why is she studying Korean?

To save her job.

She lost her parents when she was little.

She was raised by her grandma.

She had been getting by on part-time jobs

but with her son starting school,

she wanted a steady job.

And so I applied for this job.

I can be a great asset to the company.

No special skills or qualifications...

Your hobby is listening to music.

Do you know a second language?

Yes.

I like K-pop.

I'm interested in picking up Korean.

Korean?

We sorely need Korean-speaking staff.

We could use with all the help we could get.

Are you fluent in conversational Korean?

I... get by.

That's probably not enough.

I'm studying Korean. I'll work hard!

Could you say something in Korean?

Her mind went blank. She panicked.

All she could think of

were lyrics to a Korean song she knew.

(Korean) Walking along a street

where autumn leaves are falling.

I remember walking along

this narrow pathway with you.

We both knew.

Our hearts were full of love.

But I couldn't possibly tell you.

My chest pounds.

My heart beats loudly.

They hired her as a temporary staff

to cope with the increase in Korean tourists.

Korean-speaking staff.

She'll be exposed before long.

She bought textbooks to study on her own

but it's just not that effective.

So she dipped into her meagre savings

and came knocking on our school door.

It makes you want to cry, doesn't it, Mr Lee?

Hold on tight, Kei.

You should have slept earlier last night.

—See you later. —Be careful.

—Okay. —Bye. Be safe.

—Here you are. —See you later.

—Good morning. —Good morning.

Good morning, Kei.

—Good morning. —Thank you.

—No problem. See you. —See you.

Greet your teacher.

—Good morning. —Good morning!

—Good morning. —Good boy.

Good morning.

(Korean) Hello. My name is Yamada.

My name is Yamada.

My name is Yamada.

My name is Yamada.

My name is Yamada.

Oh yes... Yamashiro.

—Yes? —Good news.

I just heard from Fiman Travel in Seoul.

They said that they were very interested in

the Okinawa island tour we proposed.

That's great news.

Their president wants to pay us a visit.

So here's your chance to shine.

Well, actually...

Don't worry.

We'll conduct the negotiations in English.

I just need you to make small talk.

I just want to show him

that we have Korean-speaking staff.

I'm counting on you, okay?

Can you ride a bicycle?

Did everyone get that?

Today, we're studying

expressions of possibility.

Remember what we studied last week?

Present progressive verbs...

Good morning.

Good morning.

—Good morning. —Good morning.

I'll see you later, sweetie.

(Korean) See you.

(Korean) See you.

(Korean) I'm going to work.

I'm going to work.

Understood. Thank you.

(Korean) Thank you.

Oh, excuse me. I didn't mean to say that.

The boss wants to see you, Yamashiro.

Coming.

—Yamashiro. —What is it?

Fiman Travel Agency just sent us an email

written in Korean.

Could you translate it for me?

I'm a bit slow with the reading and writing.

Monday's fine. Just a brief summary will do.

Also, print it out for me.

Boss, a call from Maruei Bus's Yamashita.

Which line?

This is impossible.

What's wrong, Mummy?

Kei.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. It's all good.

For you, there's nothing I can't do.

"Laundromat"

I'm sorry to bother you on your off day.

The school said I might find you here.

Could you translate this for me?

So what did that email say?

"I'm coming to Okinawa next month."

"I look forward to meeting"

"your Korean-speaking staff."

Does he mean Yamashiro?

Sounds like it.

She's done for.

She's in a real pinch.

She must be so depressed right now.

Not really.

Actually...

I really want to be able to speak Korean

by the time he comes.

I have to!

You've improved. You've been studying hard.

It's not enough.

My progress is too slow.

You don't teach on weekends, do you?

No. I only teach on weekday evenings.

Great. I don't work on weekends either.

Will you tutor me? One-to-one.

One-to-one?

I can't pay you much

but I can provide lunch. Please!

I don't like it.

Going behind the school's back like that.

So what did you tell her?

I'm a terrible teacher.

So you refused her flat out, right?

But she was really persistent.

You gave in?

I'll be meeting her tomorrow.

I don't like this.

It's not really a tuition session.

What is it then? A date?

No!

I don't have much to do on Sundays anyway.

Oh, come on.

Yamashiro is quite a fetching young lady.

—It's not like that! —Oh, come on.

Leave them be.

I admire her diligence.

Well, I suppose it'd be mean

to charge her extra fees for this.

We'll just put it down

as Mr Lee's private time.

What's with you?

Good morning.

(Korean) How do you do?

Thank you for making time for me.

How are you today?

Nice weather today, isn't it?

(Korean) Yes, the weather's nice.

(Korean) Today...

Today... I'd like...

I'd like to...

show you Shuri Castle.

Shuri Castle was the palace...

of a kingdom long ago.

I'm practising for when I show a client around.

A first visit to Okinawa

begins with Shuri Castle.

I see.

(Korean) This way please, President Choi.

It's no use.

I'll never pull this off.

That's not true.

I can tell how hard

you're trying to speak in Korean.

I think your Korean's charming.

I don't want it to be charming.

I want it to be understood.

Sorry.

(Korean) Are you hungry, Mr Lee?

(Korean) Yes. A little.

A bit.

Box lunch.

Box lunch?

(Korean) Is it good?

(Korean) It's very good.

Did you make this, Yamashiro?

Yes. With my grandmother.

I see.

By the way, what is this?

Shredded carrots.

Shredded carrots?

Shredded carrots.

I don't really like carrots.

My grandmother made it. It's really good.

Is it good?

No. I don't like carrots.

They're awful.

I don't like carrots.

Instead of being formal and stilted

casual chitchat about food might work better.

Why don't we walk around town?

Please lead the way.

"Naha City First Makishi Public Market"

Sakura?

What do you think?

Do you like it?

I don't know.

I have a call.

Hello?

—I'll take these. —Thank you.

What?

That'll be 4,200 yen.

Sorry, but I have to go.

What happened?

My son isn't home yet.

My grandma hurt her foot looking for him.

I need to go back and find my son.

I'm sorry. Let's call it a day.

Nanjo, please.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll help you look. Let's hurry.

Kei!

—Kei! —Kei!

Kei!

Kei!

Kei!

Kei!

Kei!

Kei!

Kei!

Kei!

Kei!

Kei!

He's sound asleep.

Children sure have it easy.

Play, eat and sleep.

I bet he's long forgotten that he got lost.

Mr Lee, thank you for everything today.

No, thank you for the delicious meal.

I'm sorry to be imposing at this hour.

Why don't you stay the night?

No, I can't!

Is there a lady who'd be angry if you did?

Grandma.

I was dumped right before I came to Okinawa.

—But why? —Grandma!

Well... she said I was aimless.

So you came here because you were dumped?

And I lost my job.

That's how you ended up teaching Korean?

I'm afraid so.

He's a good teacher.

I'm grateful for your aimlessness.

It saved my job.

I'm sorry.

No, that's okay.

I was very moved today...

by how hard you searched for Kei.

But you're the one who found him.

It's all for Kei, isn't it?

I finally understand why

you push yourself so hard at work and studies.

Sakura lost her parents when she was little.

So it's just been the two of us

scraping by to make ends meet.

Kei is a boy. I need to make sure

he gets into a good university.

To do that, I need a proper job.

My boy is everything to me.

May I ask you something?

What is it?

What happened to Kei's father?

He disappeared before Kei was born.

I was only 20.

He was young too

and wasn't ready to be a parent.

But I insisted on keeping the baby

so he ran away.

Kei has never known his father.

I see.

What does your father do?

My dad runs a company.

A company president? Wow.

He's very strict.

He's been that way

for as long as I can remember.

I had to be the best in school and sports.

He disapproves of my love for dance and music.

I don't need someone like him in my life.

I'm sure he'd rather I wasn't his son.

So I came to Japan.

That's ridiculous.

After seeing how hard you try at everything

I'm ashamed of my own passiveness.

There's the bus.

Well then, see you tomorrow.

See you at school.

I'll help out at the shop

and pick Kei up from school tomorrow.

It's the deal I struck with your grandma

in exchange for lunch.

With Grandma?

The door's closing. Please move to the back.

Young-un's here.

Young-un!

Kei!

—Are you hungry? —Yeah.

—Bye. —Bye.

See you!

Kei, are you okay?

It's steep!

—You can do it, Young-un! —Too steep!

You can do it, Young-un!

Bye, Kei.

Bye, Young-un.

See you tomorrow.

Take care now.

—(Korean) Stand. —Stand.

—Standing. —Standing.

This is how you write it.

Standing.

Next...

—Hang. —Hang.

—Hanging. —Hanging.

This is how you write it.

Hanging...

(Korean) Hello.

This is Yamada.

Is Han Gi-nam there?

Speaking.

How are you, Yamada?

I'm fine, thank you.

So what can I do for you?

I was wondering if I could ask a favour.

What is it?

I'm off to Seoul tomorrow,

but I haven't booked a hotel.

I know you're busy. Sorry to bother you

but could you book one for me?

Yes, I understand.

I really appreciate it.

You were amazing!

(Korean) Your bags... are...

—Heavy. —Heavy.

—Look very heavy... —Look very heavy...

Would you like me...

—To carry. —To carry...

No, Kei. I'm studying here.

But Young-un promised

to play soccer with me.

I'll play soccer with you later.

I want to play with Young-un.

Come on, Young-un. You promised.

Listen to me, Kei.

Kei, over here!

—(Korean) Ever since... —Ever since...

—I was a child, —I was a child,

—I've really loved —I've really loved

—To play soccer. —To play soccer.

—Kei! —Go...

Pass it here.

Young-un, pass it to me...

—How's that? —Be careful, Kei.

—Be careful. —Be careful.

Sakura!

Hello?

Young-un, where are you?

Yuri sent us your things.

What?

You broke up? You're not in Tokyo?

A lot has happened. I'm living alone now.

But you don't have to worry about me.

Young-un, come back to Seoul.

Talk to your father

about working in his company.

I can't. I'm in the middle of something.

Like what?

Whatever it is, it can't be that important.

Maybe not for me, but it is for someone else.

What? Someone else? What do you mean?

Young-un? Young-un!

He hung up. He can be so insensitive.

As long as he's doing well.

How long are you going to leave him be?

He needs to come back and learn the ropes.

He's our only son.

I didn't realise until I got sick...

what's truly important in life.

He's here.

Hey!

Kei!

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Look what I wrote, Young-un.

Aren't I awesome?

I got the most stickers of anybody!

Kei really loves those stickers.

He worked hard to earn them.

Yes! Mummy likes these stickers too.

"Well done"

I haven't seen these stickers in ages!

We had these in Korea too.

It was such a thrill to get one.

Yes, it is, isn't it?

It really makes you motivated.

What's that?

—Show me! —No way!

—Tickle him! —Come on!

Ogawa.

Maeda.

Try harder next time.

Yamashiro.

"Well done"

Go through your test paper

and ask me any questions you have.

—Understood? —Yes, sir.

Wow! Yamashiro scored full marks!

Look at these cute stickers!

Mr Lee, you're playing favourites!

No! I'm not...

Anyone who scores full marks

will get this sticker.

Let me see...

—It's kind of cute. —What's this?

—It's a bunny. —I want one!

(Korean) What would you like to eat?

Anything's fine.

Let's drink to our reunion, shall we?

Sakura, get some sleep or you'll fall sick.

I'm going to bed now.

(Korean) Good night.

OK. No problem.

I'm looking forward to seeing you soon.

Bye.

Good news, Yamashiro.

President Choi of Fiman Travel

said his schedule opened up

and he can come next week.

Next week? Early next week?

Relax. It's okay.

It means our summer season tie-up

is really going to happen.

I'm counting on you when he comes.

I know you can do this.

"My Bonnie lies over the ocean."

"My Bonnie lies over the sea."

Now she's really done for.

All her effort will go up in smoke.

Poor girl.

And we'll lose another student.

I didn't prove to be any help at all.

No, you did great.

I'm sure she knows that too.

If only I could take her place

And interpret on her behalf.

What's the matter?

What is this?

Before I opened this place,

I was a concert sound engineer.

What?

For your ears.

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

Can you hear me?

Say something into that microphone.

Hello?

What the heck?

I had the volume set too high.

Try it again.

Hello?

That's incredible.

This wireless system will function

within a 200-metre radius.

If you're within that radius,

you can serve as her ears and mouth.

My mother raised me all by herself too.

She deserved a better son.

He should be here shortly.

Is he really coming alone?

Apparently, that's his style.

He's the type to go by his instincts.

He's rather young.

He built his company from scratch.

I bet he was born into money.

I'm jealous.

Well, he's late.

Okay. Here.

He's here...

He is?

Well, Young-un. Can you hear him?

Okay.

As I told you before,

she is Yamashiro Sakura

who speaks Korean.

(Korean) It's a pleasure meeting you.

I'm Yamashiro Sakura from Sales.

It's a pleasure meeting you.

I'm Yamashiro Sakura from Sales.

It's a pleasure meeting you.

I've been looking forward to our meeting.

—Please have a seat. —Okay.

That's the president? He's hot.

Tall like a Korean movie star. Just my type.

No one's asking.

Do I detect jealousy, Mr Kawamoto?

Why in the world would I be jealous?

It's unsightly to be

drooling over men at your age.

What do you mean "at my age"?

Would you please be quiet?

Would you please be quiet?

(Korean) It's a nice hotel.

I love the great ocean view from the room.

I'm sure the Korean tourists will love it.

What did he say?

It's a nice hotel. Great ocean view.

Korean tourists will be pleased with it.

Thank you. I'm so glad you like it.

(Korean) Thank you. I'm so glad you like it.

We'd be happy to show you around town.

We'd be happy to show you around town.

Okay.

I've booked a room

at the restaurant in this hotel at five.

Where we'll talk about the contract.

Let's do it in English without her.

Sure. No problem.

(Korean) I'd love to hear more of

the beautiful Sakura speaking in Korean.

It's too bad.

What'd he say?

I'm sure he's just being polite.

He says he wants to hear more of my Korean.

Is it okay if Sakura shows me around?

She'd be delighted.

We're coming with you.

No, it's fine.

I'll feel bad taking up your time

all day long just for me.

I think I just need her.

Let's meet again here at 5.00pm. OK?

Yamashiro.

Spare no expense.

Just bring him back to the hotel by 5.00pm.

After that, you're free to go straight home.

We'll be off then.

—See you later. —See you later.

We'll leave it to you, Yamashiro.

That's an unexpected development.

It's amazing.

Yes.

—Shall we continue? —Yes.

Watch it.

This way.

Sakura.

Do you come here often?

Sakura, do you come to this aquarium often?

Yes, with my son.

You have a son?

Yes. He's five.

So you're married.

No, I'm not married.

Sorry. Perhaps that was too personal.

It was! Why are you prying?

It was! Why are you prying?

Forgive me.

Words aren't necessary in an aquarium.

Words have never been necessary

for a man and a woman to get close.

Not what a language school owner should say.

Listen, Sayuri.

We should get back to the school.

Things are just getting interesting.

Go back by yourself.

This brings back memories of going on dates

back in school days.

You went to an aquarium?

No, but Sakura...

you look so much like my first love.

You don't need to go back

to your office today, do you?

Actually, I do need to return.

Actually, I do need to return.

(Japanese) That's odd.

I thought your boss said otherwise.

I'm sorry I hid this from you.

I studied Japanese for a while in university.

But I found your Korean so charming

I wanted to keep hearing it.

The meeting with your boss this evening

won't take long.

Will you keep me company around town tonight?

I'd like to try Okinawa's famous sake with you.

I need to be home with my son

and grandmother at night.

I'm afraid I can't go drinking with you.

That's a shame.

Shall we return to the hotel then?

Yes.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Oh my. She went in.

That's enough. I have a school to run.

There's something off

with that Japanese-speaking hunk.

We can't leave now.

I have some paperwork for your boss.

I can get it ready in a jiffy. Could you wait?

Please make yourself comfortable.

Excuse me. Where's the paperwork?

I'm sorry, Sakura.

I lied. I just didn't want to see you go.

What?

Don't worry. I'm not up to anything.

Sakura...

What's wrong, Young-un?

Sakura's in trouble!

Wait...

Wait...

Please don't.

Please stop.

Come here.

Please stop...

—Please stop. —I said, come here.

It's okay.

No!

Cut it out. You can't be serious.

Please, Sakura.

Calm down, Sakura. I'm serious about you.

I've liked you the moment I saw you.

Stop! Stay away from me!

Sakura.

Help. Help, Young-un!

Young-un?

My name is Wu-son. Call me Wu-son.

Sakura!

Where are you, Sakura?

Which room?

I don't know. It's a suite on the top floor.

Who are you talking to?

What is this?

Sakura.

Sakura...

Pardon me.

No!

It's okay, I promise. It'll be all right.

Who's that guy?

He's my Korean teacher.

Your teacher?

Sakura...

Young-un!

Are you okay?

Come on...

Yamashiro.

Yes.

Did anything happen after we left yesterday?

Well...

President Choi seemed so eager

to seal the deal when we first met.

But he cooled off all of a sudden.

He called this morning

asking us to come up with a new proposal.

Well, nobody said running a business is easy.

But you did a remarkable job

as our interpreter yesterday.

I didn't expect you to be that good.

I was pleasantly surprised.

There will be more chances like this.

Yamashiro's probation period ends this month.

Starting next month,

she'll be a full-time employee.

Really?

Of course. Over here,

we recognise and reward effort.

Thank you! I'll do my best!

—Congratulations. —Thank you.

Congratulations...

Miss Yamashiro, congratulations on

becoming a full-time employee!

Everybody, dance!

Mr Lee, I want to thank you for everything.

I had fun tonight.

So did I.

But...

there's one thing that worries me.

What?

Now that you're a full-time employee,

will I still get to see you?

Of course.

Not just in class?

Sakura! Sakura!

You won't believe it! It's Shuichi.

He's back!

Shu?

I didn't want to let him in with Kei at home.

He told me he'd wait here till you get back.

Shu...

Sakura.

Forgive me!

I know it's too late for apologies.

But still...

I have to beg for your forgiveness.

Why now?

I'm so sorry. Please forgive me!

Please forgive me!

I see.

So the father came back after five years.

His debtors were breathing down his neck

and he didn't want to burden the family.

As a man running a business myself

I feel his pain.

He and Sakura didn't end on bad terms.

It's very complicated.

Above all, he's the boy's biological father.

Blood is thicker than water.

Sakura has been through so much

for someone so young.

I really hope she can find happiness.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Young-un.

It's your father.

He's not well.

What?

Come home. Now!

With his diabetes,

it was touch-and-go for a moment yesterday.

Dear?

Open your eyes, will you?

Young-un is back.

How long has he been like this?

Why didn't you tell me?

Your father told me not to.

He didn't want to worry you.

He's changed a lot since his illness.

He regrets being so strict with you.

He wants you to do what you want

and find your own path.

That's what he said.

Young-un.

There you are.

I made tea.

Mum, what is this?

Oh, that.

Whenever you solved a problem,

your father would give you a sticker.

"Well done"

It gave you such a thrill to get one of these.

This really brings back memories.

"Well done"

"Three years later"

Your room is ready. Please enjoy your stay.

I'll call you for dinner.

Sounds good.

We'll meet back here in the lobby at 5.30pm.

Please be on time.

We'll be taking a bus to the airport.

Please enjoy your last day here in Seoul.

Okay...

(Korean) Thank you.

My father is healthy and back at work.

He's at a bigger office than mine.

He's more worried about...

my love life than my career.

You're not married?

Since joining my father's company...

I've been too busy learning the ropes.

It has been hectic.

I haven't had the time to meet anyone.

Your cake, ma'am.

It looks delicious!

You're really good in Korean now.

Better than I am in Japanese.

I studied like crazy after that.

My teachers weren't as good as you though.

How's Kei?

He never listens to me.

It's not easy for him

being raised by just his mother.

What about his father?

Neither Kei nor I knew how to be around him.

So we parted ways for good.

What about now?

I travel between Okinawa and Korea.

All work and no play.

I'm flying back tonight.

Can we meet again?

I'll give you my cell phone number in Seoul.

My number in Okinawa is still the same.

But, here...

"Well done"

This sticker...

It's my good luck charm.

It picks me up when I'm down.
