Do you still think...

we can't be more than siblings?

We can't be.

What will we say to my dad?

To Mr. Kim?

What about Hae Jun?

What will we tell them?

Is that a problem?

It is.

So it's not about how you feel?

That's all I need.

I'll take care of the rest.

Twelve.

Thirteen.

(Episode 12)

Why did you get wet in the rain?
We're not that young anymore.

What?

Why is your face red?

Do you need to talk to me?

Nothing. I'll tell you later.
Get some sleep.

I'm not a little kid.
It's too early to go to sleep.

Goodness.

Where was I at?

Darn it. Come on.

One.

Is she still in the shower?

(Message)

(Kim San Ha)

Sleep tight.

(Mom's Birthday)

(Mom)

(Mom)

You know tomorrow is Mom's birthday, right?

(So Hee)

I'll send the cheesecake Mom likes
to the house tomorrow.

You too.

Okay.

(Sleep tight.)

Sleep tight.

(Sleep tight.)

(Daldal, 81, Haengrang-ro, Haedong)

(Kim San Ha)

I'll be there in five minutes.

Now?

(Ham and cheese sandwich)

- Thank you.
- I hope you enjoy it.

You're here.

Thank you for the food.

Just stick to what you've been doing.

I like seeing you enjoy your food.

Are you crazy?

What if someone saw that?

Who's going to see us? There's no one here.

What is it?
Are you thirsty? Should I bring water?

San Ha.

What?

You said you were having an early lunch.
So you came here?

Had I known, I would've come with you.

Is that so?

- I thought...
- So who is this? His girlfriend?

Do you all know each other?

- Why would you say that?
- She's not his girlfriend.

- No?
- They're family.

We are.

Where's Hae Jun? I heard he'd be here.
That's why I came.

He just comes whenever he wants.

He's been dodging my calls too.

Is he avoiding me?

I don't think so.

This kind of vibe can't come from families.

Is that so? Then what kind of vibe is it?

- It has to be a fling at least.
- You should order.

You guys should order something.

You're all getting coffee, right?

Three iced Americanos.
An extra shot for mine!

Three iced Americanos
and an extra shot for one.

- Do you need help?
- Gosh, something is off.

My romance radar is pretty good.

Hey, stop it. They're just like siblings.

They have always been affectionate
even when they were in school.

People who don't know us
will figure it out right away.

Be quiet.

Other people can't find out
before your dad, my dad, or Hae Jun.

That can never happen. Okay?

I know. Don't worry.

We can't stay here for long.

Give us our coffee to go.

Okay.

When you go out,
don't make it look obvious.

Thank you.

I feel alive now.

When you see Hae Jun,
tell him to answer my calls.

Of course.

San Ha, shouldn't we get going?

I saw your car outside. Give me a ride.

I'll leave in a bit.

Right? Don't you want to stay longer?

Hey, just leave.

- Come again.
- I'll be there soon.

Okay.

Okay. I'm leaving.

What's this about?

What?

You've been looking like that
since yesterday.

What do you mean?

You said you were only picking up
the medicine yesterday.

You've been looking shocked
ever since then.

Is it a serious condition?

- No.
- Then what's wrong?

I met Hae Jun's mom.

I thought you were sick.

Wait, what?

Well,

I...

ran into her.

You...

What do you mean?

It's all in the past.
I don't want to talk about it again.

Okay. I don't have any right to know.

But Hae Jun ought to know.

He's been waiting all this time.

He's been waiting for you
without knowing anything.

- Seo Hyun. Don't do this.
- No.

I won't get in touch with Hae Jun.

If you tell Hae Jun that you saw me today,

I'll close down my business in Busan
and never come back here.

So...

let me just see him from time to time.

I can see him from afar.

Let me just...

see his face once in a while.

Please.

Goodness. She did what?

If it was manslaughter,
it could've been self-defence.

Or there must've been a reason.

What did you tell her?

Did you give her your word?

That you wouldn't tell Hae Jun?

If I did, she said she would leave.
Then Hae Jun...

would lose his chance to see his mother.

But still.

She should explain the reason
before she cuts off ties with him,

so Hae Jun can accept it.

She said she wouldn't meet her son.
Imagine how miserable she must be.

Are you seriously worried
about her right now?

I have a plan.

I'll go to Busan tomorrow...

and ask her to reconsider.

Busan? She's in Busan now?

She came back last year
and opened a hair salon.

Busan is so close.

- If she wanted to see him...
- It's a short drive.

Don't worry. I'll make sure Hae Jun gets
to see his mother...

this time around.

What if Hae Jun doesn't want to?

Why wouldn't he want to?

Not just because he doesn't want to.

Even after he came to Haedong,

he didn't come to us right away
because he wanted to come back...

after having something to show for himself.

He would be meeting his mother
after 20 years.

He would have a lot on his mind.

We should open up a business for him...

or help him get a job first.

Right.

Basketball had been everything for him.
But he hurt his leg.

What should he do?

I see. I find it uncomfortable
to go on a date...

with a gorgeous woman.

Same here.
It's not uncomfortable for me at all.

This is great.

By the way,
if you opened up a law firm here,

how much money would you make?

Pardon?

This isn't just a casual blind date.

We must make things clear. You know?

- Should I show you my income tax?
- Sounds good.

Okay.

Sweetie, are you on a blind date?

He called her sweetie.

- Oh, no.
- She's cheating on him.

How could she cheat on a guy like that?

- Why would she go on a blind date?
- Sweetie.

Do you want to see me go crazy?

Well...

Ms. Park.

Do you know this man?

Am I just a man you know?

He's not just a man I know.

He's the man I like.

- What did she say?
- She likes him.

- It's like watching a drama.
- Good for him.

- It's like a scene from a drama.
- Oh, my.

- Good for her.
- What?

I can't believe this is happening.
What is this?

Goodness. Unbelievable.

It will be difficult for you
to go on blind dates from now on.

Hey, my acting was good.
But your acting was quite good too.

I really thought you meant it
when you said you liked me.

No way. That's not true at all.

Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang.

Hello, sir. What brings you here?

I'm on my way to see a building.

Then there you were.
I saw you walking down the street.

The building you checked out before
was sold just this morning.

Gosh, already?

Goodness. I told you
good listings could get sold...

even in a couple of hours.

It's hard to find a great building
like that around 800,000 dollars.

Did he say 800,000 dollars?

- I'll call you again.
- Okay. Bye.

Did he say 800,000 dollars?

What? Do you also think that's a bad idea?

No. Anyone would be happy
to get a building.

Right? Don't you think it'd be great?

But San Ha kept telling me
to ask my dad first.

Then it defeats the purpose
of making it a surprise.

Do you like apples?

I do.

When I win cases,

sometimes,
my clients bring me a box of apples.

But I like strawberries.

I understand that you want
to give him a present,

but wouldn't it be better...

if you asked him first
since he's the one getting it?

I see.

I got it.

Gosh, you made it so easy for me
to understand.

I guess attorneys are indeed smart.

I should tell him now
since I'm already thinking about it.

Wait, what about our meal?

I shouldn't have said anything.

Dal!

I owe you one!

I'll treat you to a meal later!

Okay.

Ma'am.

Do you know anything
about the real estate market...

for commercial buildings
in the downtown area?

Yes. My friend from Jinju
has a daughter-in-law who runs...

a real estate agency in the downtown area.

I sometimes go there for some rice cakes.

How much...

would it cost to rent a restaurant
like this there?

Why? Are you thinking about
moving your restaurant?

It's not for me. It's for Hae Jun.

I'm glad to hear that.

My gosh. You've got to help him.
Otherwise, he'll waste his life.

But no matter how small it is,

you have to consider the deposit,
the premium, and the loan.

So you'll at least need 100,000 dollars.

- Did you say 100,000 dollars?
- Yes.

Well, can you give me her phone number?

My gosh. Isn't that Hae Jun?

Ma'am, are you going home?

Who are you?

You look so handsome!

You should dress up like this every day.

Gosh, I can't do it every day.

I'll have girls following me.

Say that after a girl follows you.

You need to be good to Mr. Yoon.

Pardon?

Okay?

Okay.

I see.

Dad!

Yes. I'll call you again.

Okay. Thank you.

Hey, you're here.

My gosh. My son, you look dashing today.

Did you go for an interview?

Gosh, no.

Right. I came because I wanted to have
the food you cooked.

Is that so? Great. Let's go.
I'll cook you something at home.

I still have a lot of food.
Slow down.

So why aren't you living here?

You can have home-cooked meals every day
if you move in.

Actually, that's why I'm here.

I was going...

to move in after getting
a nice building first.

A building?

"This is yours."

I was going to surprise you
with a building.

But everyone told me
I should ask you first.

What are you talking about?

(Kang Hae Jun, 810,621 dollars)

What's this?

(Kang Hae Jun, 810,621 dollars)

You have over 800,000 dollars.

- Is this true?
- Yes.

Did your biological father give it to you?

No.

How did you get this amount of money then?

I washed the dishes and worked as a server.

You washed the dishes
and worked as a server?

What do you mean by that?

I did those things at your restaurant too.

I got a lot of tips because I was good.

One of the customers liked me
and got me into modelling.

And I had made a good investment
before I was enlisted.

I did my very best to pay you...

To pay you...

back.

Who told you to pay me back?

Do you think I sent you
to the States for that?

What did I say before you left?

I told you to do it only as long
as you found it enjoyable.

You washed the dishes
and worked as a server?

Why would you be good at that?

Have I ever made you do that
at my restaurant?

No, that's not what I meant.

You raised me for ten years.

What kind of parent raises their children
for something in return?

They raise their children...

as they want them to eat and sleep well,
and enjoy their lives.

They don't raise them for money.

Do you think they raise them
to ask them to pay back?

No.

- Take it back.
- Dad.

You...

Is it because
I'm not your biological father?

Is that why you keep saying
you want to pay me back?

No.

That's not true.
I've never thought like that, Dad.

Go.

Dad.

Go!

(Myungjoo University Hospital)

Are you at home this weekend?

I have something to say.

(Father)

What is it?

I'll tell you in person.

I'm fine.

I'm all right.

I think you have a fever.

A fever?

No. Never mind.

I think you caught a cold.

Thanks.

You should drink water after crying.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

It's not your fault.

Considering how angry he is right now,

he would've never wanted to see me again...

if I had told him
after signing the contract.

No way. I'm sure he wouldn't mean it.

I think...

he's not angry. He's just sad.

He didn't want you to go through hardship,

but you said you did, which made him sad.

It means...

he loves you so much, doesn't it?

I know it too.

I'm the problem.

No matter what, I'm not his real son.

So I feel like I should do more...

and pay him back.

I keep thinking like that.

If you know that, you can just say sorry.

Should I go right now?

No.

He might need some time.

Why don't you go tomorrow?

Okay. I'll go tomorrow.

What would I have done without you?

Thank you. I mean it.

It was nothing.

Everyone would've said the same thing
even if it weren't me.

Still.

So did you let him go like that?

I already scolded him for that.

I'm not saying what I did was good.

Ask all the fathers in the country.

If their children brought enough money
to buy a building,

everyone would be dancing in joy.

Would your father act like that too?

My father?

Yes. Well, I'm sure my father
would be dancing as well.

I told you. I was right.

Your anger is coming from guilt.

Because you're not his biological father.

That's just what I think.

It's just one of many opinions.

By the way, what did he model for
to make that much money?

Should I look it up?

Let me see.

You raised me for ten years.

What kind of parent raises their children
for something in return?

They raise their children...

as they want them to eat and sleep well,
and enjoy their lives.

They don't raise them for money.

Your anger is coming from guilt.

Because you're not his biological father.

Right.

I was thoughtless.

I acted poorly.

- A cold?
- Yes.

But he still finished writing all
the prescriptions before going home.

Oh, right.

- Do you need candles?
- Yes.

Here.

San Ha.

San Ha.

(Kang Hae Jun)

Hello? What is it?

- What's the password to the door?
- What?

What's the password to the door?

San Ha caught a cold.

I think he's inside,
but he's not picking up my call.

Okay.

San Ha.

San Ha.

Are you all right?

He's sweating.

He has a high fever.

Were you worried that much?

What are you talking about?

Oh, right.

Get changed.

Are your clothes here?

Or here?

Let me find it.

Are you going to watch?

What are you talking about?

Are you done?

Yes. Come in.

- What are you doing? Lie down.
- Yes.

How do you feel? Do you feel any better?

It's cool.

I'll be in the living room.
Call me if you need anything.

Thank you.

Why did you come out?

You should sleep in the bed comfortably.

Because you're here.

I want to be with you.

I guess you still have a fever.

Your fever has gone down.

This is nice.

I saw the pictures we took
when we were in high school in your room.

Yes.

- You kept them all this time?
- Yes.

- Me too.
- What?

I missed you too.

I looked at the pictures when I missed you.

This is refreshing.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, right.

Yesterday,

Lieutenant Kim found this.
I forgot to show you.

What are you talking about?

Take a look.

Young people are surely good
at searching for these things.

- Look at him. It's no joke.
- So this is...

Look.

Is this really Hae Jun?

He's capable of taking care of himself,

but you worried unnecessarily
that he was unemployed.

That's enough.

- You're up.
- Yes.

- Here. Please take a seat.
- Yes.

Good.

- You like your eggs sunny side up.
- Yes.

The bread is straight out of the oven.

It must taste amazing.

Thank you.

- It's good, isn't it?
- Yes.

(Chat)

(Dad)

My son looks great.

What's this?

Is it Hae Jun?

What's this? Is he a celebrity?

I wondered where that money came from.

By the way, where is Hae Jun?

He said he would sleep over
at Seok Hun's place...

as he didn't want to catch your cold.

He should be coming soon.

My son looks great.

(The son of Haedong,
Star Model Kang Hae Jun)

Oh, my gosh. He looks great.

- I fell for him.
- He really is a model.

Oh, my. You have an amazing son.

He's different indeed.

I heard it's different
from modelling just in Korea.

He was in a global show.

- Yes, it's different.
- Of course.

- It can't be the same.
- Of course not. Right?

- Enjoy your meal.
- Thank you.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, you're here.

Yes.

Don't do this.
It's not good for your hands.

Take a seat.

There are many customers. This is nice.

My goodness.

- Hey, you...
- Is that really you?

I never thought something like this
could happen.

A celebrity from this tiny village!

Hae Jun,
I've never seen a celebrity before.

- Would you like to have kalguksu?
- Yes. Two servings, please.

Two servings, it is.

- It looks delicious.
- Why is there no pajeon here?

Did he not give it to you?

- He didn't.
- No.

- Mr. Yoon.
- Coming right up.

You should hurry up.

Here.

Oh, my. Let us see a celebrity up close.

Like father, like son, indeed.

He has his father's eyes, nose, and lips.

I know. I guess you don't look like
your mother at all.

- Right?
- Well, that's...

- actually...
- Try this. Mr. Yoon...

was a handsome man when he was young.

- Yes. I can tell.
- Right.

Have you been waiting long?

No. I came just now.

- Give it to me.
- I can do it.

I just wanted to help.

Who asked for your help? Do you pity me?

It's not out of pity, it's...

Never mind. Take a seat.

How have you been?

Ask one of the people here...

if I seem to be doing fine.

Or are you making fun of me?

- Why would I?
- Why would you not?

Your ex-wife who left
to marry another man for a new life...

lost her new husband and showed up limping.

I bet you think it's either ridiculous...

or pitiful.

I've never thought of it like that.

Be honest.

Who knows if you prayed for my downfall?

You should've lived a good life then.

I let you go for a better life.

Is it my fault that your husband died?

Is it my fault that your legs
ended up this way?

I even sent San Ha
because he wanted to save you.

- What more can I do?
- Let me get it straight.

I never asked anything from you.

San Ha came to me
voluntarily ten years ago.

He won't say so,

but he'll return to Seoul in a month.

He can't go against me.

He can't leave me.

Will you please...

Why are you so self-centered?

Everyone is self-centered.

Are you any different?

Why you...

I was the idiot for thinking
we could have a conversation.

Darn it.

Did you come here to see him? Who was that?

So Hee. Shall we see your brother?

Mom.

Wouldn't he be upset to know...

we came all the way here
and didn't visit him?

We came here because you said
the ocean would cheer you up.

Did you come to Busan
on purpose with this in mind?

No.

I always liked the sea.

I'd like to live by it if I could.

Don't you?

Dad!

I need a marker.

(Yoon's Kalguksu)

What are you doing?

Even if the photo's for commercial use,

it shouldn't be so revealing.

That's acceptable.

- Dal, come in for some pajeon.
- What?

(Mom)

I need to take this.

How can he be so good-looking?

- He shines.
- There's an aura.

- San Ha went to work?
- Yes. Pack him some pajeon.

Okay.

Why isn't Dal here yet? I'll get her.

No, stay and eat. I'll get her.

- It's not like that.
- You can't do anything on your own.

Even if you were seeing someone,
you should've pretended you weren't.

Do I have to teach you everything?

I apologized for that.

- He wasn't in the right either.
- Don't blame others.

If you won't work at a firm in Seoul,

at least marry well so I can feel assured.

I'm doing just fine here.

You can feel assured.

I want to see you live a life
as good as anyone else's.

Sorry.

I sent you money
to buy some spring clothes.

Did you get it?

Okay.

(Mom)

Well...

I didn't mean to overhear.

It's because of me, isn't it?

Should I have done something differently?

The call dragged on.

I'm hungry.

Let's go inside.

- Here you go.
- Gosh.

- Ju Won.
- Yes?

Taste this.

Is it good?

It's the best. It's incredible.

- Ju Won.
- Hey.

Come and eat.

- Is it good?
- The geotjeori's a work of art.

Let's take a whole lot home.

I'll pack you a box
full of pajeon and geotjeori.

- Stash up.
- Perfect.

Everyone! The model's here.

- Oh, good.
- At last.

Stand in line if you want an autograph.

- Me.
- Me too. I want one.

- Here you go.
- My word.

I like you loads, you know.

Here. Sign this for me.

- My gosh.
- Goodness.

- What an autograph.
- I know, right?

Sign mine here.

- You're so handsome.
- Did your mom call?

- How are you so sweet?
- Yes.

If you don't have an appetite,
I'll eat it for you.

- Okay. Thanks.
- Thank you.

What shall we have for dinner
with the geotjeori?

Parboiled octopus? Half-dried saury?

Or shall I broil some pork
to have with a drink?

It wasn't the first time.

I didn't work this morning,
so I'll be home late tonight.

Okay. Let's eat something nice tomorrow
instead.

Drive safely.

(Hyeyum Villa)

(Kim San Ha)

- Hello?
- Hae Jun's overjoyed, isn't he?

He's up for anything if Dad is.

I think I'll be off early,
at around 7pm today.

Do you want to grab dinner?

Dinner?

- What will we have?
- I'll look stuff up.

Shall we, then?

Okay.

What was that?

Why are you grinning?
Did something nice happen?

Do you know any places for dinner nearby?

Places for dinner? In what category?

A date.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No way. Who is it?

- Don't ask.
- Who is it?

- Don't.
- Who is it?

There are models everywhere in the US.

I wasn't that famous.

I just took a few shots and quit.

Why didn't you keep at it if it was fun?

I would have if I'd known you'd like it.

I like it...

if you're healthy and well.

You must be hungry.
Come home and eat if you're free.

Okay.

Seok Hun wants to see me.

I'll come over to eat another time.

Why not stay if you can?

There's a basketball team dinner.

Okay. Come by tomorrow, then.

I will. Bye.

I thought about it for a long time.

I couldn't forget
the look on your face that day.

I told her that you came back.

Go see her or not. It's up to you.

Taxi!

Have this.

You can go.

- Ms. Kang.
- Yes?

Why are you in such a good mood these days?

Do you think so?

Yes.

When I come back,
I'll bring a hamburger for you.

You frustrating fool. My gosh.

You should've chewed her out
for San Ha's sake.

I can handle it. Don't you mind me.

What if I do?

Well...

I'll talk to her again. On my own.

What about you?

What will you say to Hae Jun's mom?

What else?

I'll tell her to come see him
since he grew up nicely.

Unlike someone else,

I do what I say I'll do.

What?

Let's see, then.

Did I make you wait?

No.

What?

Someone might see us.

I'll tell Dad this weekend.

Should we tell Hae Jun first?

What does he know about dating?

More like,
he might be offended to find out.

Isn't that Hae Jun?

You're a true model.
Even your bench pose is killer.

Stick out a leg.

What is it?

Come on.

Is something wrong?

I saw my mom.

Where?

She has a hair salon in Busan.

Auntie told me.

So what?

What did she say?

We didn't talk.

I just looked from a distance.

She laughed a lot.

She looked like she was well.

Get up.

What?

Go and ask her why she didn't call.

If you can't, I'll go with you.

I'll even ask for you. Get up.

Stop acting like a fool and get up.

How could I ask her that?

Why can't you?

I don't know what she'll say.

I'm too scared to ask.

Let's go inside.

Aren't you hungry? Shall we order food?

You can eat without me. I'm a bit tired.

It's good to have you around.

What?

What is it?

- Did you get it?
- Yes.

His aunt had texted the address.

Hae Jun's...

Dad.

How did you know this place?

How come you two...

Where are they?

Did I leave it out here?

Who is it?

So you stopped calling Hae Jun?

And you don't want to call him again?

Right.

And if Hae Jun were to know,

you'll disappear to someplace else?

Why did you open a salon in Busan, then?

Things just happened, and I ended up here.

No.

You're here because Hae Jun is.

So, Hae Jun...

Does he know I'm here?

He doesn't.

He doesn't know.

We found out by chance.

We didn't tell Hae Jun...

in case he felt disappointed.

Do you not care as long as you feel fine?

What about Hae Jun?

He didn't know a thing.

He spent his whole life
thinking he was a burden.

When you stopped calling,

he assumed he was a burden to you.

People kept talking about how my dad
had taken him in.

He lived his whole life...

thinking he was an extra mouth to feed.

Do you even know that?

Thank you.

(Kim San Ha)

Where are you? At work?

Come home right away
or call when you read this.

Don't do this, Seo Hyun.

I just want him...

to live an ordinary life.

(Family By Choice)

You abandoned me,
had a good life, and met a guy.

Should I stay out of your perfect life?

How did you find me here?

- Pretend you didn't see me today.
- I'm sorry.

I'll be strong and never come here again.

You transferred to a hospital here?

So you'll be selfish...

and do as you wish?

Must you see me die?

Take So Hee and go back to Seoul.

I won't go with you.

San Ha's mother seems to want
to take him no matter what.

If you're here because of me, it's fine.

I won't ask you to stay
or say you can't go.
