Guys, let's play together!

- Hello. - Hello.

(June 6, 1995, before Eun Gyeol's time travelling)

This year was the 50th anniversary of our independence,

and today was the 40th Memorial Day.

Goodness. You guys look like aged cucumbers soaked in alcohol.

Yes, it's dried pollack soup.

- You're so considerate! - Here you go.

You ought to spend your days off sober from time to time.

Whenever you guys have days off, all you do is drink until you drop.

Your parents must be working hard...

in your hometowns to pay for your education here.

Grandma! Can I have some food too?

What have you been doing that you skipped a meal?

Are you hungover too?

I didn't eat at home, so I could have some of your food.

- Where's Yi Chan? - I have no idea.

He's been cooped up in his room with his guitar since yesterday.

He's been lounging around like some lazy kid.

Hey, Yi Chan!

Don't make me set the table twice. Come out and eat your meal.

What are you doing?

Are you recording the message for your pager?

Hey.

Did you look into what I asked? What did you find out?

Was he really a genius guitarist who used to rule his era?

Yes. Hyun Yul wasn't lying.

Anyone who knew how to play the guitar...

tried to mimic him at least once back in the day.

- Let's go. - Go where?

- To see him. - Why?

So he can listen to my song.

Why do you want to do that all of a sudden?

To participate in the National Teen Band Contest,

we need to have our own song.

Hey, have you gone mad?

On the day of the rehearsal for the festival,

we got into a fight with the Jindo Dog Gang.

We almost got suspended. Have you forgotten that already?

How could I forget that?

But you want to do what?

What? You want to participate in what contest?

Your grandmother had to kneel before the dean that day.

The bruises on her knees are still there, you punk.

That's why I must restore my honour!

If I give up on my band now,

I'll be nothing but a reckless guy who made a band to hit on a girl...

and started a group fight.

Yi Chan. Please give up already.

Our band disbanded. Don't you remember?

All right. We will begin the rehearsal...

for First Love Memory Manipulators.

(Yoon Dong Jin, the original member of First Love Memory Manipulators)

One, two, three...

Let's go!

- Hey, let's go. - Get them.

You jerk!

Hey. Crush him!

Darn it.

Hyun Yul was crushed by the stage equipment.

He'll be hospitalized for 12 weeks.

It was awful meeting you guys.

I hope I never see you again.

Dong Jin got annoyed and left the band.

- In His name... - Si Guk was sent...

to a prayer retreat, and the bruise on his back is never going away.

Se Bum was forced to study abroad.

We don't have any other members left for the band.

Exactly. I must meet with him and ask for help.

I can seek musical advice from him too.

I'll ask him to recommend me some people too.

Then we'll form our band again.

Gosh. There's no talking to you. What am I going to do with you?

Gosh. My father texted me 8282. That means to hurry back home.

I must get going now.

Hey!

Sorry.

I must keep a low profile because of that incident for the time being.

You can go and meet him alone. I'm sorry.

That jerk.

Where's his loyalty?

(White Night)

Hello, sir.

I'm in 11th grade and go to Baekwang High School.

My name is Ha Yi Chan.

You remember me, right?

I'm Hyun Yul's friend.

You bought our band meat the other day.

I do remember. But what a shame.

Something came up. I was on my way out.

Pardon?

But you made an appointment with me first.

Anyway, I'm sorry. Let's do this another day.

Can you spare me just 30 minutes then?

It's a short song because it's unfinished.

Let's do this next time.

I'll make sure to put aside time to listen to this with you.

Just spare me 20 minutes, sir.

No, 10 minutes. Or 5 minutes.

Or 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Please, sir!

Please listen to my song, sir!

Everyone has their own life.

Isn't it bad manners to impose like this on other people?

I get it. I'm sorry.

Bye.

Minor coincidences come together...

to bring luck miraculously...

or to create an unbelievable tragedy.

If...

he listened to Yi Chan's song just for five minutes...

- Darn it. - I'm sorry.

Hey, you handsome boy.

Look over there.

A lot of cars come and go here.

It will be dangerous for you to play with this here.

Where's your mother?

Over there.

Could I take this as a freebie?

Gosh, I said no.

- Come on. You can spare me this. - I'm not making any money then.

- If... - Seriously.

- Do you want to see something cool? - Yes!

he didn't come across the boy that day...

You can come out now.

If...

he didn't have any surprise guest visiting that day...

- Do you want to take this? - Yes. Give me 20 of this.

Okay.

Dad. Can you give us the elastic one in the 3cm chequered pattern?

If his friend...

- accompanied him that day... - Do you need anything else?

I'll teach you how to score a big one!

- Hey. You're going to drive? - Hey.

Gosh. Just go.

- If it wasn't... - Hey. You're driving?

- a national holiday that day... - Are you serious?

Gosh.

Do you want me to show you a swing this time?

If...

one of these minor coincidences didn't happen that day...

- Hey. - Hello.

Thanks. Wait.

Take one with you.

No. It's okay.

- I appreciate the gesture, though. - I just feel bad.

Actually, I'm allergic to Korean melons.

If just one of them didn't happen to him...

Wait!

If it did,

would he be...

living a completely different life by now?

Is this a novel?

(Fall of 2022)

Right.

Is this a novel?

Why? Is it interesting?

Well...

The incident isn't that dramatic.

By the way, why are you suddenly writing a novel?

Don't tell me...

you're going to retire as a taekwondo player.

No. I want to show it to my brother.

Your brother?

You want to show it to your brother?

If you hadn't caught me with that,

my brother would have been the first one to read it.

When will you show it to your brother?

I don't follow.

Once I finish it.

I see. So what happens to the main character?

He becomes our dad.

That's not a novel.

It's a true story.

I heard something from Eun Ho.

The date of Yi Chan's accident...

Hey, you. Look at these two teenagers!

Acting lovey-dovey out in public after playing hooky.

Are you coming back from school, Yi Chan?

Hello.

- I'm coming back from school. - It wasn't the day...

before the festival.

You're really handsome.

- Ma'am, you're still so beautiful. - The accident...

hasn't happened yet.

- I'll get going now. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

What are you guys doing?

I'm talking to you!

They're having fun with this, aren't they?

Are you all right?

Then when is it?

When does the accident happen?

(Selling the national flags for the Memorial Day)

It's tomorrow.

This is amazing. I can't believe it!

You're glowing in all of these shirts.

What are you two doing?

Hey, you're home.

I took her out and went shopping.

Why did you buy so much? Who knows how long she'll stay here?

You have no idea how many basic necessities...

one needs to live in a new place.

Even if she stays here for a day, she should be comfortable.

At this rate, you might head to the borough office tomorrow...

to register her under you.

Gosh. This is so fun.

I'm used to having only guys in my house.

Now that I have a girl staying in my house,

it's like I'm playing princess. This is quite fun.

You've never thought about playing prince?

A handsome prince has been living with you for 18 years.

Hey.

I'll wash this thoroughly and make a blanket for you.

Cover yourself with it when you go to sleep. Okay?

Gosh. This is frustrating.

If only she could hear me, it would have been perfect.

- Grandma! - Gosh.

You almost had my heart shoot out of my throat, you brat.

Wait here.

Gosh.

(Chung Ah, I'll make you a blanket.)

(Thank you.)

I made this!

(Snail Guesthouse)

It's a novel.

My brother came up with the story.

It's not a novel. He said it was a true story.

He likes to joke around.

You think he would use his parents' tragedy as a joke?

He's always been off-the-wall.

Ha Eun Gyeol.

There's no way only I was in the dark about it.

There's no way my dad only told him about the accident.

Eun Ho didn't hear it from his dad. He found out by chance.

Are you seriously using that as an excuse?

A falling accident from the lift?

This isn't some third-tier regional event.

It's a concert that generates hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I told you to be thorough with the safety gear.

Hey.

Ha Yi Chan?

I told you to be careful with potential injuries at all times.

Didn't I tell you that?

I can't compete if I'm scared of getting injured.

The moment I give up...

The match is over.

Yi Chan.

Ha Yi Chan.

You punk.

So you're still alive.

No. You know what?

Let's not do this here.

Let's go to a café nearby.

- Let's... - Sir!

The doctor wants to see you.

- Wait here. - Why?

- I'll go and see your doctor. - Is it bad?

They will have to perform the surgery now.

- Where is he right now? - Over there.

Wait! Yi Chan.

Hey, Ha Yi Chan!

I'm Ha Yi Chan's son, Ha Eun Ho.

Who are you?

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

I am...

your father's high school friend.

I'm sorry to call you out of the blue like this.

Don't be sorry.

I've been waiting for you to call.

You said you had questions for me.

Ask them away.

Was my father...

able to hear...

in high school?

Who was his friend?

I don't know.

- Not even a name? - No.

Back then, that wasn't important.

I only heard that his friend regretted not going there...

with Yi Chan that day and blamed himself for it.

- Ma Joo. - Ma Joo?

He would've been the only person my dad would've trusted...

and discussed band matters as he was the manager.

His friend who couldn't go with my dad that day must be Ma Joo.

But this is odd.

He said he regretted it and blamed himself for it.

How come he didn't stay in touch with my dad?

Yi Chan was the one who cut all ties with his friend.

Eun Ho asked his dad after some time.

Then he said...

(Late fall of 2022)

When I meet my friends from high school,

my heart breaks a bit...

because I miss those days.

Whenever they see me,

they seem sad, and watching their sad faces...

is painful too.

I think I can understand him.

He misses them, but he doesn't have the courage to see them.

He can't face them because he's afraid...

that they might hurt each other.

Jonathan.

What did you say?

Many things have changed...

since I joined the band instead of Dong Jin.

But I think Yi Chan would still know similar people.

So?

A grown-up who knows enough about bands...

for my dad to ask for advice on music.

A guitarist who runs a store...

and knows the members of The Manipulators.

I'm sure my dad was supposed to meet Jonathan that day.

If it's Jonathan my dad is supposed to meet tomorrow,

even if we can't locate the place where the accident will happen,

we can narrow it down.

Near White Night Music.

Yes.

Tomorrow, you must stay with Yi Chan no matter what.

I'll be watching the scene of the accident...

and trying my best to prevent any variables from happening.

What are you talking about? Why would you go there?

Well, it's to make it extra safe.

Or it's like the second line of defence.

If you miss Yi Chan,

I can stop him there.

What if you get hurt?

Don't worry.

I'll immediately run away when I sense danger.

- Still... - Eun Gyeol.

The two moons didn't rise yet.

And we're still in this time period.

We can stop it for sure.

Trust your helper.

Go in.

Okay. Bye.

Have sweet dreams tonight.

Eun Yu.

What? It's my name.

Hearing my name here makes me so happy and nostalgic.

Thank you.

Am I going to a war or something?

I'm sure you're one of the reasons...

why I came to this time period.

Yes. I agree, sir.

Let's go back together no matter what happens.

In 2023, I'll pay you back 1,000 times or 10,000 times...

what you did for me.

Wait.

That's slightly less than enough,

but I'll look forward to it.

The two moons didn't rise yet.

And we're still in this time period.

We can stop it for sure.

Eun Gyeol?

We're from Mapo Police Station.

Please come with us for a moment.

We got a report about Chung Ah's abduction.

Are you sure you can handle the consequences...

and take responsibility for this?

If you walk out that door now,

you will regret it.

Let's go. I also have something to say.

(Seogyo-dong)

Mapo Police Station is over there. Where are you taking me?

What are you?

You're not police officers, are you?

I heard you were smart, but you're just a kid.

(Chairwoman Im Ji Mi)

When you get his written oath, send it through a fax machine.

Watch him board a ship before departing.

Then bring Chung Ah.

I'm not sure.

He chose to stow away as he didn't have a legal identity.

And no one would know that he disappeared...

as he doesn't have a family.

Do I even have to worry about what might happen later?

Aren't you just happy to see me again?

There's no way that I'm happy to see a hunting dog...

that has gone crazy after tasting money.

Are you good at copying words?

Copy them and sign it.

Then I'll set you free.

It's simple.

"From the electric shock accident..."

"to becoming a tutor, I planned everything to approach her."

"I acknowledge that I kidnapped Yoon Chung Ah..."

"and demanded a ransom."

"I got the money I wanted,"

"and I will never show up to the Jinsung Family."

Do you think I'll do it?

You'll get rich if you sign it obediently.

If you act up, your life will end.

The most luxurious ship is ready for you.

Don't even dream of it. Those guys have many tattoos.

They know how to use tools as well.

They know how to use a shovel to dig the ground to bury someone.

Why are you scared? I already gave you the right answer.

Let's get it done quickly.

(Oath)

(Chairwoman Im Ji Mi)

(Seowon Arts High School)

(Oath)

(I lured innocent Chung Ah to kidnap her as I became greedy.)

(Signed by Ha Eun Gyeol)

This isn't what you promised.

Where are you going right now?

You said you would set me free if I signed it.

Stop the car.

Let me get out. Let me go.

Hurry up and bring it to me.

You came home.

You came a day earlier than planned.

Did you not hear me? Bring it to me.

Did they make a mistake?

Sir.

Why on earth are you doing this?

This is just an attic, a storage.

Open it yourself.

Do I have to repeat myself?

I told you.

It's just an attic.

Chung Ah wanted to store her clothes...

she doesn't wear anymore here.

She's been too stubborn since she was little.

When she got upset during her tutoring session,

she bit me, scratched me, and broke things.

Once she ran into this room and locked the door,

there was nothing I could do.

"Shall I break down the walls and get rid of the room?"

I definitely considered it,

but I thought it was a good idea...

to keep a shelter that only Chung Ah could use.

Do you think using English words would make this misery look better?

I kept the room for Chung Ah's sake.

When chased and cornered,

even a rat will bite a cat.

Is my daughter a rat?

What have you all been doing?

You turned a blind eye to it, helped her hide it, and assisted her.

What did you receive in return for destroying a child's soul?

We did nothing but follow Ms. Im's orders.

Pack your things. You are all fired.

Pardon?

Ms. Im, you are fired too.

Take your kids and move out of my house at once.

Sir.

I cannot move out.

I refuse to leave this house and my school too,

without a legitimate reason.

"A legitimate reason?"

I don't know what kinds of rumours you heard...

or what you're imagining, but I...

Don't tell me...

it was Eun Gyeol.

Finish what you were saying. I want to hear your conclusion.

Do you know...

what that boy did while you were away?

He kidnapped Chung Ah and demanded money.

Because of your reputation...

and the company's public image, I couldn't even contact the police.

So, I sent Attorney Jang to get things sorted out.

But he ran off with the money.

Are you doing this to me because you trust that boy?

I should be on the stowaway boat by now, shouldn't I?

You seem puzzled as to why I'm here now.

Stop the car.

Let me get out. Let me go.

There's something I must do!

Darn this kid!

Hold him down!

- Stop the car! - Let go!

- Pull over at once. - Darn you!

Hey, cops are here.

- Shoot. - Darn it.

Hey, run!

Eun Gyeol!

Mr. Shin.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I've been tailing you from the guesthouse,

but I needed to capture some evidence.

I received the fax you sent.

I'm relieved that you received it before it was too late, sir.

You need a legitimate reason?

You took bribes using your position,

engaged in an admissions bribery scheme,

committed embezzlement and tax evasion,

started a dummy company to make a slush fund,

and kidnapped, abused, and confined a minor against her will.

Do you need to hear more?

Sir, that's...

Once I carve you out of my family register,

I'll have Mr. Shin drop off a copy.

- Sir! - I told you.

I said I'd teach you that good was bound to triumph over evil...

and that you shouldn't...

even dream of a comfortable life.

Oh, my.

I heard you were studying art. You really are so good at this.

The boys would love this.

- My, it looks so good! - Oh, my! What is this?

- Hey, what is this? - It's omelet rice.

Oh, my.

- Thank you for the food! - Thank you for the food!

Oh, right. I was supposed to go out for drinks this evening.

It totally slipped my mind.

Chung Ah, please save this for me.

I can't eat now. I'll be eating while having drinks later.

Hey, weren't we supposed to meet up with...

Why didn't you remind me? Hey, wait up.

What? Where did everyone go in the middle of a meal?

Hello?

It's me.

What's up?

You ignored me earlier. Why are you suddenly calling...

Chairman Yoon came back to Korea.

Can you bring Chung Ah here?

I told you.

You don't have to forgive them.

You can come back and stay with us whenever you want.

We'll always be on your side, no matter what.

You know that, right?

All right, then.

Go on in. I'll get going too.

Could you...

spare me a moment, sir?

- Why? - Don't worry.

I won't cause a scene.

The next time you visit, I'll be sure to serve you some tea.

I just fired all my housekeepers.

My grandmother doesn't know sign language at all,

but I saw her chatting with Chung Ah all day.

That taught me this.

If you really want to express something, you will find a way.

And if you want to express more,

you just need to learn how to do it.

(The Most Beautiful Language: Lovely Sign Language)

"Your father..."

"is like a shield that protects you from everything..."

"until you're old enough to go out into the world."

Those aren't my words. Ernest Hemingway said it.

I never had such a father,

but I hope Chung Ah can.

You can keep that book, sir. I've already mastered it.

I'll be off, then.

Stendhal was the one who said it, not Hemingway.

And that's what he said about his mother, not his father.

- Oh. - But I got the message regardless.

Thank you very much for this.

Why are you following me?

I want to sleep next to you today.

You've been quiet for a while. What's up with you?

As for Chung Ah...

I believe I've finished everything I had to do.

(Snail Guesthouse)

You should go home too.

How much longer will you neglect your own problems and feel lost?

Go and tell your father...

that you like being in a band...

and that you don't want to study abroad.

Tell him you're done being his trophy.

No. I'm not leaving.

I don't want to live as your trophy anymore.

Then why didn't you...

tell me sooner about how you felt?

I knew you'd behave this way.

Just like now, you're set in your ways.

You still should have told me!

If you had respected me as a parent,

you should have done...

whatever you could to persuade me.

That's what a family does!

How could I have persuaded you?

You can't even hear my music anyway!

If you tell your father, he'll understand too.

He doesn't know because you never told him.

When you guys all leave,

my grandma will be very sad.

(Grandma, I'll make dinner today. Take the day off.)

Grandma, are you really going to be like this?

I can't believe this.

How could you like a stranger more than your own grandson?

If you're going to keep talking nonsense, get out and wash up.

I am not talking nonsense.

You like Eun Gyeol more than me,

and you and Chung Ah became best friends in just one day.

You brat.

He's no match for my grandson, no matter how adorable he is.

Try bringing me a truck full of Shin Seong Il and his look-alikes,

and see if I'd trade you for them.

My gosh. I'm sorry, Mr. Tutor.

Oh, don't be sorry.

Why do you adore me? And how much do you adore me?

Goodness. Hey, get out and wash up.

I should get some sleep.

Come on. Tell me.

Why do you adore me so much?

Oh, boy.

Even though you went through so much...

at such a young age,

you're still a good boy...

and have never once rebelled.

You're not a crybaby.

You're healthy, both physically and mentally. That's why I adore you.

That's the best thing, you know.

Well, I should sleep...

next to Ms. Go Yang Hee today. It's been too long.

Me too!

Let me join.

Hey, how dare you? She's my grandma!

You guys aren't kids anymore.

She's my grandma too!

- Grandma, tell him to go away. - Why are you guys being like this?

- She's my grandma. - Leave my grandma alone!

- Hey, seriously. - My goodness.

Hey, you scared me.

Why are you still up?

How do you know this song?

What do you mean? I wrote this song.

What is this?

Take a listen to the song in it...

and try to come up with a guitar riff for it.

If I think it sounds good enough,

I'll give you that guitar. I know you want it.

Really?

Are you really going to give me that guitar?

I said, "If I think it sounds good enough."

I clearly said that.

The song isn't complete.

It only has the main melody line for the lead guitar.

Fill in the rest.

But who wrote this melody?

Did you write this?

No, of course not.

You wouldn't know even if I told you.

No. No one would know.

It was written by an artist no one knew.

No way. Dad was the obscure artist?

But how did Mr. Viva know this melody?

Sorry to disturb you while you're spacing out,

but can you close the door at once?

Even the slightest noise can wake my grandma.

You really wrote this song?

Why? Are you surprised to find out that I'm such a genius?

For real?

Are you sure you wrote this melody yourself?

I'm getting offended.

Are you belittling me right now?

Why? Am I not allowed to write a song?

Well, it's not that.

I thought we'd decided to perform "Shining" at the contest.

Why are you writing a song?

I'm going to leave the band once the contest is over.

What? Why?

So Grandma can wear my graduation hat.

It's her wish, so I should make it happen.

What can I do?

In order to grant her wish,

I'll have to study very hard for a while.

And that's why...

I'm dedicating this song to my radiant youth.

Are you going to give up on music?

Of course, I won't.

I just want to compose this now, before I forget how youth felt.

My next goal is...

the Campus Song Festival.

But the thing is, I wrote the middle part,

but I don't know what to do with the beginning and end of it.

Please grant his wish.

Let's work on it together.

Let's complete this song together.

- For real? - Yes.

I'd love that!

But you'll have to promise me two things.

Seriously? You're such a jerk.

Tell me what they are.

First, no one can hear this song...

until you participate in the Campus Song Festival.

Okay. What's the other one?

Tomorrow, you won't go out. You'll just stay home all day.

You're at it again?

I know that you won't get it.

- But I can't tell you... - Okay.

- Did you just say "Okay?" - Yes.

But why would you agree to it right away without asking for the reason?

You're making me anxious.

I thought about it...

and realized that everything you had asked me to do was for my own sake.

Please don't ruin his dream.

Here. Get started.

Please let him be happy.

I can record this, right? I'm afraid I'd forget.

(Record)

Please help him...

so his youth can keep on twinkling.

If anyone's listening, please...

Please grant my desperate wish.

Hey, let's play together!

(June 6, 1995, after Eun Gyeol's time slip)

Today, we celebrated the 40th Memorial Day...

after 50 years of independence.

Oh, dried pollack soup!

Ms. Go, you read my mind.

My, this looks amazing.

You guys drink all night whenever there is a holiday.

Your parents back home are working themselves to the bone...

- to pay for your education. - Ms. Go! Can I have some food too?

You haven't eaten yet? What have you been doing?

Are you hungover too?

Gosh, I purposely came here on an empty stomach to eat your food.

- Anyway, where is Yi Chan? - No idea.

He's been stuck in his room with his guitar since yesterday.

I think he's just been lounging around all day.

Hey, Yi Chan!

Don't make me set the table twice. Come out and eat now!

My gosh.

Thank you.

Grandma.

I was recording something very important.

Your voice got recorded too!

- Ma Joo, why are you here? - What?

Eun Gyeol called me here.

He said we'd practice here today.

- Ms. Go! Can we have some food too? - Feed us too!

- Feed us! - Hey, you!

Hello!

- Goodness. Thank you for the meal. - Hey, move.

- Oh, boy. Thank you. - All right.

- Hello! - Boys, you should've called me...

to tell me that you were all coming over.

- Let's go. - Hey, eat the side dishes first.

- Okay! - Okay!

Hey, pass me the chopsticks.

You invited them over when this isn't even your house?

Bal San, how do you take care of your hair?

I try not to wash it often.

My gosh. It's so long now.

Bal San, what do you do to grow your hair so quickly?

Think lots of dirty thoughts.

Sung Dae, I heard your girlfriend dumped you.

Yes, for thinking lots of dirty thoughts.

- My goodness. - Hey, we're eating now.

Gosh.

I only heard that his friend regretted not going there...

with Yi Chan that day and blamed himself for it.

What? Got something to say to me?

Stay with Yi Chan today, no matter what.

No. Stay glued to him even when you get older.

Never cut off contact with him.

My gosh. I have to see that idiot even when I'm older?

Where are you going that you're dumping this bomb on me?

Hey, why are you calling me a bomb?

Because you are a bomb!

Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere.

I'll always stay right by your side too.

(The 2nd Hongdae Culture Festival)

Come and check out these oriental melons.

- I can't pinpoint the exact time, - Oriental melons!

- but we can narrow it down. - Fresh oriental melons are here.

All right. Come and try it.

When their late lunch begins at the guesthouse,

we'll start the countdown.

Okay. Then just in case,

I'll go to the scene in the morning and wait there.

As soon as the lunch begins,

leave me a voicemail message.

Okay.

The same goes for the site of the accident.

We can narrow it down.

When Yi Chan is visiting White Night Music,

he normally takes this route.

And this is the only road with street vendors.

The accident...

(Hardware store, used bookstore, café)

It'll most likely take place here.

- These huge oriental melons... - Hello.

- Yes, hello. - They look so fresh.

- Can I get this one? - Sure.

- That one? - Yes.

Could you give me this for free?

There are many cars here, so it's dangerous.

Where's your mom? I'll take you to your mom.

Why are you doing this?

No!

Wait! It's dangerous here with all the cars around.

- Shoot. - Hey, it splashed on me.

Sorry. How did I drop it?

- Darn it. - It splashed all over the place!

I said we should start the meeting.

Why did you have to go and bring the juice?

Hey, I'll get it.

Hello?

How could you drink and drive?

Did you want to get someone killed?

It's me.

Are you all right? Are you not hurt?

Congratulations, Ha Eun Gyeol.

It's all over.

I checked, with my own eyes.

Yi Chan is safe now.

Thanks, On Eun Yu.

I told you to trust your helper.

Do you want to come over?

Everyone's here.

I want to see you.

Okay, I'll join you guys.

After checking one more thing.

You still have to check something?

Well, just to satisfy my personal curiosity.

(White Night)

Who was the person that visited my grandfather that day?

(White Night)

(Used Musical Instruments)

So, Mom was that visitor?

Taxi!

Sir, could you follow that taxi? Please hurry.

Do not lose it.

I can't guarantee you anything.

There was a time when I felt lost too.

Whatever. I bet you were just pretending.

No, I swear. I'm telling you the truth.

I ran away from home, just once.

You ran away from home? You?

Yes.

I believe it was shortly after I'd moved to the US.

I ran away and came back to Korea without telling your grandparents.

My gosh. What was the first thing you did once you came back?

I met my biological father.

I had many questions for him,

and there were many things I wanted to hear from him,

but I couldn't say a word.

The same goes for him. We just...

I had a cup of tea and left.

After that, I didn't see him again...

until the day of his funeral.

What? Hold on. Why did you stop?

Oh, boy. It'd be nice if life was like a movie.

You said you'd come over. Why didn't you call me?

Do you know how worried I was?

I thought something had happened.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

I had checked everything...

except for one thing, so I was feeling anxious.

What was the thing you couldn't check?

The person who visited White Night Music that day.

So? Did you check?

Who was it?

Is it someone I know?

My mom.

Choi Se Gyeong.

Hey! Get up, will you?

Aren't we going to talk about the arrangement?

We can wait until Eun Gyeol is back, can't we?

Hey, you guys won't get any work done once Se Gyeong gets here.

Get up right now!

- I feel so lazy. - Let's take a break.

Hey, Yi Chan. Where is the recording of the demo track?

Is that it?

Gosh.

- No! - Gosh, you scared me.

This song cannot be revealed to anyone.

What?

Are you two planning to participate in a different contest without us?

I'm not like you.

Did you copy someone else's song?

Do you have a death wish?

Composed by Ha Yi Chan and Ha Eun Gyeol. We wrote it together.

Then why can't it be revealed?

You don't need to know.

Stop prying, or you'll get hurt.

Hey, this is great.

I was anxious about competing against Ilyoung High with one song.

I have a good feeling about this.

"A Song for You."

Yes, I like it too.

It'll stand out among all the rock songs.

We'll have a greater chance of winning with this.

Hey, are your ears all clogged?

Did you not hear what I said?

I cannot reveal this song.

I promised Eun Gyeol that I wouldn't!

- Then... - Yes.

Get him!

- Hey! - Take it away from him!

- Hold him. - Grab it! Hurry up!

- No! - I'll ask Mr. Jonathan...

which song is better.

- Hey. Darn you! - Keep him here for ten minutes.

- Okay, got it. - Ma Joo! Hold on.

- Let go of me! - Hey, calm down.

But I don't get it.

Why did she suddenly come back from the US?

More importantly, why did your mother go to White Night Music?

Because he's my maternal grandfather.

What?

Mr. Jonathan at White Night Music is my maternal grandfather.

What are you talking about?

Your maternal grandfather is a physics professor.

He is my mom's adoptive father.

If you don't mind me asking,

how did you know Mr. Viva?

I'm his daughter.

Hey, what's wrong?

The two of us...

have met in the past.

What? Us?

When?

The day when your mother...

gave me the guitar your grandfather had left behind for me.

She's good, isn't she?

She's my daughter. She wants to be a cellist.

She's 18 too, just like you.

And...

we met at his funeral too.

(In Mourning)

(Viva Music)

That boy was you?

Yes.

But what were you doing at my grandfather's funeral?

He was my mentor.

What?

He saved me when I was being bullied in school.

He was the one who taught me music...

and taught me what "CODA" meant.

I must go meet him now.

Hey.

Oh Ma Joo!

- Shoot. - Hey, wait!

Hand it over while I'm still talking nicely to you.

You really can't do this.

I promised him to make sure no one would hear it.

Hey!

It's too late. We have all heard the song already!

Gosh.

Hey!

Eun Gyeol will flip out if he finds out that I left the house.

Since when did you do exactly as he said?

Oh.

Shoot.

Your father is paging you, right? Go and be a good son.

Hey, wait!

For real, okay?

You know I'm not doing this for my own sake.

So let's go and ask Mr. Jonathan.

Ask him which song is better.

- Hey, I can't... - You are our front man!

I'm counting on you.

(White Night)

Gosh.

(Viva Music)

Dry yourself.

You'll catch a cold if you stay like that.

It's okay.

Stuff like that can happen in your youth.

I can't believe I had no idea.

I can't believe I didn't recognize Mr. Viva.

Oh, no.

- Gosh, is he okay? - Call 911!

("A Song for You")

Special thanks to Ha Eun Gyeol.

("A Song for You")

Thanks to you, I was able to complete this song.

(Song by Ha Yi Chan and Ha Eun Gyeol)

Looking back, I realized...

that this song wasn't the only thing you helped me complete.

When I wanted something,

when I felt like I lacked something, when I was in despair,

and even at my most radiant moments,

you were always there with me.

You lied to me that you were my son.

But you know what?

For some reason, I felt as though you were like my father.

Even though I have never experienced a father's love,

I got to experience something similar thanks to you.

Son, thank you.

But...

in my next life, I'll be born as your father.

Hey, Yi Chan!

Don't make me set the table twice. Come out and eat now!

My gosh.

If anyone's listening, please...

Please grant my desperate wish.

Can you hear me?

My voice.

Can you hear it?

I'm sorry, Dad...

(The 2nd Hongdae Culture Festival)

We met while wandering

Through time

Among the countless people

I recognized you

(Twinkling Watermelon)

Wrap up your journey...

and come to the place where you arrived.

Do you think I can go back in this situation?

Where are you going?

To find the scumbag who made Yi Chan like that.

Please open your eyes.

I'm sure all your efforts...

changed the situation for the better.

So let's now return to the world where we belong.

This isn't your fault.

Accidents are just accidents.

Don't even look back, and leave.

If you decide to stay,

your life in 2023 will disappear.

Will you be okay with that?
