Original subtitles

Are you okay?

No.

I'm not okay.

I don't want this May

to pass by without you.

[Congratulation on Your Engagement, Hwang Hee Tae and Lee Soo Ryun]

What brings you here?

It's nothing.

[Congratulations to Hwang Hee Tae and Lee Soo Ryun on their engagement!]

Thank you for coming such a long way.

When your children get married,

- remember to invite me. - Yes, of course.

Congratulations, again.

Whenever you hold a family event, don't forget to invite me.

I'll be the first to congratulate you.

Thank you.

Once again, thank you so much for coming.

Child, the guests are leaving. Where is Hee Tae?

He's been missing since earlier. Is he not feeling well?

I sent him home first.

What do you mean you sent him first?

He said he wasn't feeling well since this morning.

So I told him to go home first and rest.

But still! How could he go home?!

What situation is this?

[Episode 6, A cough, love, and...]

What's wrong with Hee Tae?

It seemed like he had cold symptoms.

I see.

Myeong Hee was coughing all day, too.

It must be due to the seasonal changes.

It was so hectic that I didn't even realize Myeong Hee had left.

Did you say goodbye to her?

It was both hectic for both you and me,

so she must have left quietly.

Myeong Hee isn't the type to have others worry about her.

- Soo Ryun. - Yes?

You did great today.

It would have been nice if Mom was there, too.

Why can't I walk you to the front of your house?

We're practically already there.

And... just in case—

You don't want Jin Ah to see us and cause a fuss?

All right.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Tomorrow, I'm going to go to church before going to work.

Then, I should hold tomorrow's tutoring session in the evening.

So I can see you around the time you end work.

You should just give me your work schedule.

I'll plan our dates around your work schedule.

All right.

This must be why lyrics are written.

I can't call you,

and I don't even have a picture of you to think of you.

The night is too long.

Can I at least take this with me?

So I can think of you, Myeong Hee.

Then shouldn't you give me something, too?

I don't have anything I can give you. Do you want at least this button?

I'll make do with this.

Hey!

The curfew siren is about to ring. What are you two doing at this hour?

Sorry.

If you're not going to grab a room, go on home.

- Yes, yes. Sorry! - It's just how the law is.

Sorry!

I'll be on my way.

Okay, okay. See you tomorrow, Myeong Hee.

Get home safely!

Father, did you sleep well?

You were feeling sick yesterday?

Are you feeling better now?

Yes.

Now that you're older, you think you can stand up against me, don't you?

Don't kid yourself.

The only thing you can stop is my hand.

And no matter how much you try, I have you within the palm of my hand.

Also, if you ever disappoint me as my son

in front of people like that again,

then I won't stop with just a slap on your face.

Do you understand?

Sir! A guest is here.

It must have been so hectic with the engagement yesterday. You didn't have to.

I wasn't able to greet you before the engagement.

My father said I should deliver the dowry in person no matter what.

Such precious things!

Please make sure to send our gratitude to your father.

I will.

- Is the food ready? - Yes.

What about Jeong Tae?

Jeong Tae went on a church retreat. He'll be back tomorrow evening.

Let's go eat.

- You! - Hold on!

If you're going to hit me, this side.

How could you disappear like that without saying anything?

Do you know how flustered I was, trying to come up with an excuse to tell the elders?

Sorry. I had something come up yesterday.

I saw you yesterday.

Leaving with Myeong Hee.

What are you two going to do from now on?

It doesn't really matter to you what we do, does it?

We're engaged as you wanted,

and we'll maintain this until the factory is completed.

Our relationship ends there.

Why would it not matter?

Like you just said, we have to maintain this situation.

If people find out about your relationship, the engagement and everything else will be ruined.

All right, I'll be careful from now on.

This isn't someone else's problem!

And just saying, but thank goodness I was the only one that saw you two.

What would have happened if someone else had seen you?

How am I supposed to explain that?

What are you so mad about?

Who said I'm mad?

Come in and have some dessert.

- Okay. - Okay.

Why don't you show me your album?

Let's see how ugly you were when you were younger.

I don't have any albums.

Of course, you don't.

[Anatomy & Physiology]

[Anatomy & Physiology]

What is this?

My mom.

What?

Not the mother downstairs, but my biological mother.

That's the only picture I have of her before she got sick.

Why do you have your mother's picture shoved in a corner?

You should have it in a frame.

Then, what about you? You don't have a single picture of your mom at your house either.

That's because I put her picture away so that I'm not constantly thinking about her.

It's the same for me, too.

How old were you when she passed away?

12 years old.

You were too young.

- It must have been hard because of all the events. - Events?

Well, like athletic competitions, welcoming ceremonies, graduations.

You must have thought about her then.

The only event that I had to deal with without my mother was my high school graduation,

and it was hard enough.

I was only forced to attend it because I was the valedictorian.

♪ Into my heart ♪

♪ A sheep wandering ♪

♪ In the dark ♪

- Thank you so much. - Enjoy it.

Enjoy your meal.

Enjoy your meal!

This is so good.

All of that needs to be cleaned, too? Leave them.

Hye Gun, is something wrong?

Why are you ignoring me?

What is it? Say it.

- I saw. - Saw what?

On the day of Soo Ryun's engagement,

you and Hee Tae.

How do you know each other?

No, more importantly,

what's going on between you two?

Hee Tae is Soo Ryun's fiance!

- And you're her friend. - Hye Gun.

Does Soo Ryun...

know about you two?

Hello?

You have a phone call!

Me?

Hello?

Brother-in-Law! Are you feeling better?

I feel like we haven't spent enough time together.

How about we meet up this evening, just us guys?

Well...

I'm sorry, but I already have plans.

Come on, don't be like that. Please free up some time.

I promise it won't take long.

Well...

[Resume]

The cousin I mentioned before.

I noticed that the president of Changhwa Pharmaceuticals lacks experience.

Wouldn't joint management be helpful?

I appreciate your thoughtful opinion,

but his father, Mr. Lee Chang Geun, is already participating in the management.

I don't think they'll be interested in joint management.

This isn't like you.

Are you already trying to protect your in-laws?

It's not like that, sir.

Thank you.

You know the president left for the Middle East yesterday, right?

Emergency martial law will be expanded soon.

I'm saying that the boat is about to set sail.

To get into the same boat, this is your only chance.

Mr. Hwang, do you think the new government

will only last for five years?

You need to look far ahead. You're too good to be stuck where you are now.

You're absolutely right. I'd like to pour you one as well.

Good.

Let me pour you one.

One more?

- Another bottle, please. - Coming up.

Cheers.

This is nice. You can slow down if you want.

You don't have to drink as fast as I do.

Goodness, you don't have to worry about me. Have two, okay?

So, what's your plan now?

The wedding and everything. Where will you live?

I guess we will go with what our parents want.

Is that also why you had an engagement ceremony? Your parents made you do it?

What about Soo Ryun? From going on that blind date to the engagement, did she make those choices herself?

Listen, Hee Tae.

Just because you don't want this marriage,

it doesn't mean you don't have any responsibilities and duties to fulfill.

I believe I'm fulfilling all my duties.

You can't say that...

when you ran away from your engagement ceremony.

Also, you didn't run away alone that day.

Excuse me. May I ask why you're here?

It's nothing.

Wait.

Why did you want to see me today?

Whatever you're up to, you should stop right now.

Don't do anything you can't take responsibility for.

I don't think I'm doing anything I can't take responsibility for.

Do you even know what it means to take responsibility?

It means to make sure no one gets hurt by your actions.

Even if everyone around you becomes devastated, do you think it's not a problem as long as you're okay?

How can you be so reckless?

Let me ask you something.

Are you sure you're angry because of Soo Ryun?

What?

You be responsible and do your duty.

Living without regrets comes first for me.

Last one?

Ah, what's this? It was you? I thought it was Hee Tae.

Is he not here yet? I thought you had a tutoring session this evening.

I have no idea what's going on. Did he forget about it?

But how do you know I had tutoring in the evening?

Um, well...

I'm here.

You're late. I was getting worried about you.

The thing is...

I did all the homework, but I couldn't finish writing down all the questions I got wrong.

Wow, you did all the homework? That was a lot.

Good girl, Jin Ah.

Oppa, did you drink?

- Music is what? - Math!

That's right! Go turn on some music.

Show me your fine taste in music, PD Jin Ah.

Do you want a Korean song or a pop song?

Hee Tae. Hee Tae?

Hee Tae, wake up. Hee Tae.

Hee Tae. Hee Tae.

Hee Tae, wake up.

Myeong Hee, this is the first time I'm seeing you in my dream.

Gosh, I guess you haven't sobered up yet.

Teacher, wake up and have some hangover soup.

Why am I here?

I told you to make soybean sprout soup. Who'd want to eat this spicy soup first thing in the morning?

I didn't make it for you. Just eat your breakfast and go to school!

This is totally making my hangover go away.

As expected, he knows what's tasty!

These Jeolla Province folks don't know what's tasty.

I'm from Jeolla Province. I'm a Gwangju native.

Jeolla Province is famous for good food indeed!

You talk like a Seoul native. I had no idea you were from Gwangju.

You must not speak with a dialect much.

Oh, I'm good at it, but my father forced me to use the standard accent.

Of course! No wonder such a wise man did a great job raising his son.

When my son was enlisting in the army, I also emphasized to him that he must be mindful of his dialect.

Fortunately, my son is half Gyeongsang and half Jeolla,

so he can use both dialects freely.

He's like those people in border towns!

I'm originally from Jinju.

It's too hot!

Hey, do you have a girlfriend? I'm asking you if you have a girlfriend.

Hey, I heard the girls who protest sleep around a lot.

Come on. Tell me some stories.

Especially girls who work in factories. I heard...

they'd sleep with any college guys.

Have you hit on any factory girls?

No, I have not.

You look like you want to punch me.

If you don't have any stories to tell, then make some up or something.

How dare you glare at me?

Am I eating seaweed soup with clam or sand?

They should've removed the sand properly!

Darn it.

Halt!

1, 2!

Hey, hey! Take breaks.

This is exhausting.

Why did you do that earlier?

I was going to take it up with him anyway. He always speaks ill of Jeolla Province in front of this Gwangju native.

Elite colleges and Jeolla province are his trigger points, you know.

- But because of me... - It's okay.

That jerk will be discharged in a month anyway.

It's so nice to talk comfortably like this.

My best friend is also from Gwangju.

Hey, look at this punk. Do you think Gwangju is just a small neighborhood and we all know each other?

- Quick. - Okay.

What is this? Joint management?

Don't think too much of it. It's so the investors can put their worries to rest.

Mr. Hwang, I'm a businessman. I've overcome all sorts of hardships in this industry.

Bribing people in high places. Sure, I was prepared for it and will deal with it.

But this is different. You're asking me to hand over the business to this person.

This is practically robbery without a gun.

With a gun, I'd say.

[Resume, Hong Yong Gil]

I suggest you make a choice that will result in less damage. Like a true businessman.

Myeong Hee!

Is your stomach okay? Who did you drink with yesterday?

Just someone who makes me uncomfortable. Oh, your work schedule.

- You're really going to collect that? - Yes.

- I'm off today and tomorrow . - Really?

Then let's go on a date for two days.

Ah, n-not for two days and one night.

Continually for a two-day period.

A two-day and one night is fine, too.

Myeong Hee, answer the phone.

- One moment. - Okay.

Myeong Hee, is that you?

What time does your shift start today?

Oh, that's great. Then, can Myeong Soo sleepover at your place tonight?

Your dad was going to pick him up on his way home from the market,

but he's not feeling well.

Until what time can I pick Myeong Soo up?

All right.

Okay.

Let's go out now.

Not going out? Why?

This is so interesting.

How can your brother be Myeong Soo's classmate?

Did we drag you to an uncomfortable place?

Nah, not at all. He has nowhere to go to anyway.

He's supposed to be at a church retreat by this evening. Right?

- When he glares at you like that, he's your spitting image. - That's not true.

How can you speak casually to her?

That's so interesting.

They even say the same thing at the same time.

Myung Soo.

Eat up. Chew it thoroughly when you do.

Yes.

This boy is obviously growing a lot faster and needs more food.

He's all grown up.

When I was 12, I was just like Myung Soo.

Kids who grow later end up taller.

It's all nonsense, so don't listen to him. Eat up now.

Here.

Eat up.

By the way, what kind of relationship do you two have?

That reminds me... Your brother recently got engaged, right?

Was that you?!

What are you saying?

We're just...

Friends. Just friends. Eat up.

Do friends always go around together like that?

Hey, you do the same with Myung Soo!

You guys go around together when you aren't even engaged!

Well, anyway,

you said today was your last day of break before the competition. Right?

Do you two want to go anywhere?

There's someplace I want us to all go.

We can go. Where is it?

♫ Let's play together, running and kicking the ball ♫​

[Ticket office]

♫ Drops of sweat ♫​

♫ In the heart is a blossom ♫​

♫ I want to climb the tree ♫​

♫ I want to go up to the sky ♫​

One of the days in our golden two-days and one-night trip comes to a close like this...

It's not like we were going to spend two days and one night together.

And I had a lot of fun.

Was that not the case for you?

Did you know?

When you eat sweet candy,

there's that feeling of your inner molar poking at you.

That's why rather than the taste of the candy,

you pay more attention to that pesky molar.

Why do you hate your brother so much?

Do you know how badly he treated me all these years?

Judging from today, you seemed to be the bad one.

What?

Jung Tae's may be tall, but he's still a twelve-year-old.

How could you argue with a child?

As if you were a twelve-year-old yourself.

You wouldn't understand, Myeong Hee.

He may be young, but the things he does—

Gosh. Even if he acts like a grown-up, he's still a kid.

Look at him. How is that a grown-up?

No matter how hard you try to conceal things, they're bound to show through.

It seems like Jung Tae wants to become closer to you.

Him? With me?

Gosh, that makes no sense.

Why don't you reach out first?

You're an adult, Hee Tae. Not a twelve-year-old.

Soo Ryun.

[Jaeyoung Confectionery Assorted Gift Set]

It's not okay to print the first draft as it is.

I made some revisions to the draft you gave me.

Did you do this all by yourself?

I thought you'd need more flyers for the upcoming street protests and rallies.

I got so much arm exercise from running the mimeograph.

Look.

I can beat anything now.

We prepared everything together.

It's a shame.

It's not.

I'm the one who's sorry for not being able to fight with you.

Anyway, I'll be printing flyers in my room.

If you need any help, make sure to let me know.

Thank you. Really.

By the way,

are you okay?

What?

You know...

Hee Tae and Myeong Hee.

Did they...

tell you about that, too?

What do you mean a woman problem?

I don't mean to badmouth your future brother-in-law, so this is a little awkward,

but that household is pretty complicated.

Check carefully before Soo Ryun gets married.

Who knows? He might have another woman in Seoul like his father did.

That's crossing the line.

You never know what people are like.

It's all they saw growing up.

They marry as they would.

What if he seduces an innocent lady and has a child with her or something?

Enough of that. Just bring me last year's financial statements.

No matter how hard you try to conceal things, they're bound to show through.

It seems like Jung Tae wants to be close to you.

What are you staring at?

Aren't you tired of hating me?

Then, what about you? Aren't you tired of sticking around my house?

Not at all. I love it so much.

I'm going to stick around forever.

You're like an insect.

While we're at it, let me ask you. Why do you hate me so much?

You keep doing things to make me hate you.

I'm the type of person to withstand everything when someone hates me.

So don't make it obvious that you hate me.

Just ignore it!

Think of me as a gardener who eats with you.

You keep acting like a son.

After you came, people started calling me the mistress' son.

They say I'm the son of a mistress!

My parents and I are the real family.

I'm the first son!

Did that upset you that much?

Gosh. You really are a child.

You're right.

No matter how much I try to conceal it and act like a son, I'm the son of a mistress,

and you're the first son.

So you don't need to be nervous anymore.

Okay?

Don't tell anyone about Myeong Hee. I'll do the same about the retreat.

I had no intention of telling.

Wow.

Sister, would other people think that we look alike, too?

What? With a poop face like yours?

We don't look alike at all.

Soo Chan?

That must be the brother you mentioned last time.

He looks just like you when he smiles.

Is that so?

By the way, why were you waiting for me?

Myeong Hee,

what is your relationship with Hwang Hee Tae?

It's okay.

You can always fix a mistake. You're being deceived by Hwang Hee Tae—

It's not...

a mistake.

He's not deceiving me either.

Myeong Hee. Hwang Hee Tae, that guy, isn't a good person.

He's not someone you should involve yourself with.

It's a choice I made.

I've lived my entire life giving up and yielding.

Because I had no courage.

But Hwang Hee Tae,

is the first choice I made by gathering up the courage.

Even if you curse or throw rocks at me,

it's a choice I made.

So I'll pay the consequences.

That's what I'm saying.

Why do you, Myeong Hee, have to take the hit for someone like him?

I'm sorry.

Just wear them for a quick second.

Come on.

Wow, how pretty.

Myeong Hee, you're here.

Go on in first.

Okay.

Mister, take off your clothes first.

Soo Ryun,

do you like Hwang Hee Tae?

Gosh, you're drunk.

Why are you asking me something like that?

Answer me.

Do you like him?

Why would I get engaged to someone I don't even like?

Then, what about him?

Does Hwang Hee Tae like you?

Just go back to sleep.

Geez.

Why do both you and Myeong Hee

like someone like him?

I told you I'd take you.

I'm not a baby.

I can find my way with just a map.

So stubborn.

Be careful of cars. You're not leaving anything behind, are you?

No. Bring fried chicken next time you come.

Don't come out. Bye!

I told you. You left something behind, didn't you?

I'm sorry about last time during your family event.

Must you two take it to this extent?

I get that you both like each other. But do Hye Gun and my brother have to know that, too?

Must you make me look like an idiot and cause all this fuss?

Soo Ryun, I'm not trying to make a fuss.

As for your brother and Hye Gun—

You're going to leave anyway!

What?

You don't even have a month left before you leave.

It might be just a few weeks for you, but for me and my family...

It's just like last time.

If I leave,

will everything be resolved?

What?

Myeong Hee,

is the priest at your church

one of the priests who got arrested?

I have a good plan.

Myeong Hee, do you want to join me?

What's your plan?

[End the Oppression of Religious Leaders!]

Hyeon Joo! Take a look at this.

Please read this.

You're here early. Take a look at this, okay?

You. Come out.

What—

Myeong Hee!

Hey!

I heard Myeong Hee dropped out today.

You know, because of the protest.

Why is it just Myeong Hee?

I don't know.

All this time,

is that what you thought?

It must have been hard pretending to be my friend while hiding those feelings.

You surprised me!

I was so surprised!

You always respond like that when you're surprised.

Then, should I react with a Seoul accent when I get scared?

I came early on purpose, and you're here even earlier than I was.

You must have really missed me.

Well,

it's not like that.

Today's our first official date. Is there anything you wanted to do?

They're all ordinary things.

Hee Tae, did you have something you wanted to do?

If I tell you, can we do it all?

- Gosh. - Why?

Love and Peace?

♫ Taking it a little slow ♫

Why are you getting so close?!

♫ I will be here ♫​

Bread that Myeong Hee likes.

Hee Tae.

Why? Let's get it.

♫ Don't rush, let's walk together ♫​

♫ I will always ♫​

♫ laugh with you ♫​

♫ I know, that's how we become one ♫​

What are you doing?

It's all over your face.

Eat.

♫ Sing a beautiful melody ♫​

♫ Just like that ♫​

[Like the Last Wildflower]

[Resume, Hong Yong Gil]

How can someone we don't even know be a co-president?

Fine. I understand giving out bribes is an old custom,

but getting involved like this is an abuse of authority. I can never allow this, Father.

Do you think I don't know that?

It couldn't be helped and just happened this way.

No matter how filthy it is, what can we do? We're about to become a family, so we must oblige.

Don't drag it out anymore and just call off Soo Ryun's engagement.

What are you talking about?

Hwang Hee Tae, that bastard,

he's seeing another girl.

"Completing the lyrics for my song."

It's the song I requested!

All right, what else? What else do you want to do?

What else...

I need to go to Naju.

I haven't been able to visit home, and have only been able to make phone calls.

I wanted to visit home on a day I don't have work.

Okay.

Going to her Naju home.

Open parenthesis. With Hee Tae.

♫ Like a sleepy blue ocean ♫​

Why would you go there?

How would you introduce yourself?

How else? I would say I'm your boyfriend!

If I put my mind to it, elders love me.

I just don't put my mind to it that often.

You have to go with me to Naju.

♫ Let me give my life to you ♫​

All right, what else should we do?

There's so much to do.

♫ Let me die in your arms ♫​

The song you requested is so good.

What's the title of this song?

♫ Let me always ♫​

If you tell me first, I'll tell you.

Mine is Nogoziri's ''A Cup of Tea..."

Not the song you requested.

♫ Come love me again ♫​

I'm asking about what you've been thinking all day that you had such sad eyes.

I think I may be making it hard for too many people just so that I can be happy.

So every time I feel happy, I feel like I'm a bad person.

Why didn't you say anything? Why would you hide what's bothering you?

You hide things too, Hee Tae.

♫ Come let me love you ♫​

I was afraid that you would think I was regretting my choice if I showed you that I was having a hard time.

♫ You fill up my senses ♫​

I don't regret it.

But just because I don't regret it, doesn't mean that it's not difficult.

Even if we're not always strong and at our best,

I would like us to be able to show each other everything.

♫ Like a storm in a desert ♫​

♫ Like a sleepy blue ocean ♫​

Myung Hee, you're in trouble now.

I'm actually a dramatic person. Every time we meet, I'll tell you all of my troubles all day long.

Go ahead. I'll listen to them all for you.

So what's the title of the song?

[Declaration for Democracy]

Let's become one. Let's gather together and become one.

[End the emergency martial law!]

♪ Let's take a step forward! ♪

♪ We will continue to stay strong! ♪

♪ And fight for democracy ♪

♪ Let's keep marching forward ♪

What's wrong?

Don't be surprised and listen.

Your fiancé has another girl.

Since the problem is coming from your family, you should take care of it quietly.

Was your daughter completely unaware of this?

If she knew...

do you think she would have agreed to the engagement?

So, you're saying your daughter didn't know that Hee Tae has another girl,

or who that girl is?

I have no words to say.

This is all because I raised my child incorrectly.

However, how could we end the relationship

between our two families because of this incident?

If you give me one more chance, I will take responsibility and correct the situation.

Usually, I never get two days off in a row.

I guess everyone is like this, but I didn't have enough vacation days, to begin with.

Among my juniors is someone named In Young.

She's a newbie and clumsy with her work so everyone keeps making me work with her—

You're not interested, right?

What? No. I was listening. Keep going.

Tell me if you're bored. Since you're staying quiet, I keep on blabbering.

I'm not bored.

I'm really fine with it.

If you're okay, what are those sleepy eyes?

Earlier, we said that we should tell each other everything.

Hey, Sissy. How could you?

I'm nervous.

Because I'm so happy.

In my life, I've never had this much luck before.

It's like I'm flying really high in the air...

until I suddenly crash. It makes me anxious.

I know it's silly and absurd.

♫ Above the dark night sky ♫

♫ One star shines brightly ♫

♫ I don't know who is it shining for ♫

♫ but seems like you're lonely all night ♫

♫ And suddenly I missed you ♫

♫ because I couldn't see you ♫

♫ I keep writing your name ♫

♫ On the pages of my diary ♫

♫ On the night in which the star falls ♫

♫ A ray of moonlight resembles you ♫

♫ I'll hide and keep it in my pocket ♫

♫ and deliver it to you ♫

I can't walk you all the way home today either, can I?

See you again. Tomorrow.

♫ Because I can't comfort you ♫

♫ when you on your shady face ♫

♫ I'll light the way so you can ♫

♫ find me from far away ♫

♫ On the night in which the star falls ♫

♫ A ray of moonlight resembles you ♫

♫ I'll hide and keep it in my pocket ♫

♫ and deliver it to you ♫

♫ I close my eyes, but they're still seeping in... ♫

[Youth of May]

I came to file a missing persons report.

Did you ever think that she's just trying to avoid you?

I'm sorry you came all the way here but couldn't meet Myeong Hee.

Does your family know that you're meeting Myeong Hee?

- Why are you asking that? - The Defense Security blocked her passport and visa applications.

I have something to tell you. I lied.

- Lee Soo Ryun, you little... - Father.

The only thing she did wrong was crossing paths with me.

Don't get scared already. I haven't even started yet.

Just let her live her life.
