Original subtitles

Cha Hyun O, are you okay?

Won't you tell me anything about yesterday?

I'm sorry.

Apologize to your mom.

It's easy for others, but it's impossible between her and me.

Why did you want to see me?

Because I like your writing.

Everyone here wrote in the past.

But Ms. Kang's writing is really good.

To get to the point,

it's serious.

What about Han Yoo Kyung? Why did you meet her?

You hid everything, so I had to find out on my own.

Explain.

You don't trust me already anyway. I have nothing to say.

Hyun O!

Hyun O!

Do you want to go to the beach later, huh? To the East Sea?

It's me. Cha Hyun O.

Where are you now?

Please go to the Seoul Station.

[ Twelfth Night ]

Where are you? Why can't I contact you?

I told you I hate it when I can't reach you.

Did you see my text?

I'm at Seoul Station now.

I'll see where you are, then decide to go first or wait.

Yoo Kyung.

What?

Grandma...

I think my mom is...

going to pass away.

They say...

she'll pass away tonight.

It was good...

with so many people here.

Aigoo.

When did you come home, Mr. Yoon Chan?

Just now.

Don't interrupt me because I'll be busy packing.

Hey, didn't you say you won't take that?

[ Da Young ]

Why are you so surprised?

Won't you apologize to your mom before you leave?

So, what did you decide to do about the house?

Hey, you don't listen to me. So, why should I listen to you?

I already apologized.

Really?

I don't know who you take after, but

you do everything you need to do while complaining.

Hey,

what did she say when you apologized?

What is it?

I don't know. I haven't heard back.

I want to end this conversation here. Okay?

I didn't expect anything.

[ Da Young ]

Hey, is it your mom?

Geez, can you please give me some privacy?

I'm not a kid anymore.

Alright, alright.

- Make sure you pack everything, okay?- Yes.

Alright. Alright.

- Go. Hurry!- Alright!

Yeah, what?

What do you mean, "Yeah, what?" You called first.

I didn't.

Then forget it!

- Ah, wait a minute.- What?

Hey, you dork...

I'll go near your house.

See you in an hour!

So, he apologized first, huh?

Did he say something weird while apologizing?

Hello?

Make time tomorrow morning.

To go to the airport with Chan?

I don't know about that...

I thought you might have something to say to him.

Chan was courageous...

Okay. I'll see you.

Go out now.

Go out.

Ahjumma,

you don't need to apologize to me.

That means you really did wrong me.

I know that you wanted to become an artist.

I also know that you might've become one sooner if it weren't for me.

You waited seven years until I turned seven.

You waited a long time.

I understand with my head

but it's still hard...

to accept with my heart.

So don't apologize to me.

[ Seoul Station ]

Yoo Kyung.

I'm sorry.

Jeongdongjin.

Excuse me, did the train to Jeongdongjin leave?

Yes, the 9 p.m. train left.

The next train is at 11:30 p.m.

This is the last train for the day.

Please give me a ticket for that one.

Are you sure you won't regret it if something were to happen to me?

[ Surgery in progress ]

Dear God, my mom went into the operation room.

Please keep her safe during the procedure...

And please be with my sister who came to see her from the States...

Please help recover the relationship between

my mom and sister through this opportunity.

I pray all these in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear God, my mom is in the operation room...

We're over the hump now.

She'll stay in the ICU for a day or two

and we can transfer her to a regular room if she's better.

Then does that mean she's okay now?

We took care of the blood clot that's blocking the blood vessels to the heart,

but because of her age and high blood pressure,

we have to monitor her since it can reoccur.

Alright then.

Here.

Where's Aunt?

I sent her home.

We can't even see Mom in the ICU right now.

She has to take care of herself.

You have to rest, too.

I'll be here.

[ Cha Hyun O ]

I was debating whether to tell you or not.

I didn't want to shock you.

Of course, you should tell me.

Aunt said Grandma wanted to tell me something.

She collapsed just as she was about to call me.

Why now after all these years...

such a fool.

She'll regain health again.

And you can hear her out then.

I was so scared.

The whole time in the taxi...

and while I was waiting in front of the OR...

I thought I lost the chance...

So foolish...

I should've been braver.

I should've forgiven first.

I should've talked to her first.

Now that it's come to this when it's too late...

I'm saying unnecessary things to you now.

- I'll go to the restroom. - Okay.

I'll get on the train to Jeongdongjin at 11:30 p.m.

I'll see you there.

Something's going on with you, right?

No, nothing.

Go now. I'll be here.

Grandma will be fine.

Where would I go?

This is your last night here, too.

You really don't want to listen to me, huh?

Gosh, give me a break...

The doctor says she's fine, okay?

Grandma has two daughters, okay?

Go now.

Let me have some space, okay?

Whether crying or laughing, I want to shake it off!

Sorry.

Go and release everything. Whether it's regrets or whatnot.

You must go in order for me to be a good mom to you.

I'll be back.

Hurry up and go, girl!

Due to the frost inspection, the departure time got delayed.

We'll depart in five minutes.

Hurry, get in. It'll leave soon.

Yes.

Nothing will change between us...

This is the last night.

And we're on our last trip together.

Come out, you dork.

This is late, and you're annoying.

I have to see you for the last time.

How does it feel to leave to someplace far?

I'm so excited. Why?

For you, everything has to be in order, right?

But for me, I like it when things are in chaos.

What are you talking about?

I understand why you can't ask me to wait for you.

But I'll do whatever I want to do.

You can answer me later.

What's wrong with me?

There's nothing here.

Why do I come here whenever I struggle?

[ Dancing with a Whale ]

What are you doing?

I was taking a walk.

Okay then. Take a walk.

Boss.

What?

Is that it? It's been three years since we saw each other.

Three years? No way.

You came by drunk, depressed,

and crying...

You came by here so many times.

You saw me?

Of course.

But...

what are all these?

What do you mean?

Books I'm throwing away.

Why are you throwing these away?

I already read them many times. Why?

But these are books...

Seems like something bothers you for you to come by this late.

Just think simple.

That's you.

Boss!

What? Why?

I'll be back.

He acts all cool.

Why would he throw these away?

[ Dancing with a Whale, Edited by Ban Koo Wol ]

If you tried for ten years and hasn't worked out,

that means there's no hope.

You need experience, talent, and luck to survive in this field.

But from my perspective, you have a good eye.

You have the insight to discover a talent.

So, discover others' writings instead of writing your own.

You can do that.

You can!

[ Dancing with a Whale ]

Excuse me, can I please see your ticket?

You're sitting in a wrong seat.

This was an empty seat, so...

Your seat is over there.

Someone could've purchased this seat at the next station.

So you have to sit in your seat.

Okay.

- Do you need anything?- No, thank you.

Do you need anything?

A beer, please.

Why is it that I hesitate

when there's something I know

I have to say?

[ Cha Hyun O ]

I couldn't contact you...

because I was a fool.

My injury worsened

and couldn't perform anymore.

[ Two years ago in Germany ]

Hugh Joselin.

You pass.

Emma Wills,

you pass.

Hyun O Cha,

next time.

I expected it but doesn't mean it lessened the shock.

If I were to tell you,

I was afraid I'd crumble.

I didn't know what else to do

other than just to endure alone.

I knew you'd worry about me.

But I didn't have the courage.

I'm sorry.

I kind of suspected something like that.

That's why I worried more.

That's why...

I waited more anxiously.

And,

you didn't come back.

We were already done then.

We met again somehow

and still have this

strange lingering feelings.

I already know that to be here

on the same train is because of

those feelings.

I know that...

I'm too late.

We're struggling to find answers

from past memories.

For both of us.

Yoon Chan! Get up!

What are you doing?

Go and wash up.

It's only 5 a.m.

I know how to tell time, too.

Hey, let's stop by somewhere before going to the airport.

I'm sleepy.

Hey, you...

Dang!

What is this?

You can sleep on the plane!

Let's take a short trip.

What?

Hey, hurry!

- Where are we going?- Just get in first.

Why aren't you getting in?

What is this?

A family trip.

Our train has arrived at the Jeongdongjin station.

Please check your seats before you exit and be sure

not to leave anything behind.

Excuse me!

We're here.

[ Jeongdongjin ]

How is it?

You really wanted to come here.

I'm thinking why did I come so late?

26 years old.

I wonder how we'd have felt

if we came when we were supposed to.

Not sure.

We came together in the winter.

Let's be satisfied by the fact that we came even still.

I'm hungry.

Do you want to go eat?

[ Hye Ran ]

Don't you need to answer that?

I'm sure she's worried about you.

Call her.

- She doesn't know you are with me.- She knows.

She knows about our relationship

and that we're together right now, too.

The fact that I think about you often,

and whenever I struggle,

you come to my mind first.

I need to know why that is.

I can't know that by myself.

That's why I came to see you.

So what if you know?

What if...

we still...

like each other?

- Then...- It's a habit.

You think of me as a habit.

You're so clear in your thinking.

I became that way.

It's too loud!

You tell your mom. She's the one who picked it.

Should we listen to something else?

No, I'm saying Ahjussi is too loud.

Where are we going?

We're almost there.

You complained since we never took you to an amusement park.

I'm old now.

There's no age limit.

[ Closed ]

Man, of all days.

You're so clumsy.

Let's hurry up and leave.

Hey, wait a minute. We have to do something.

Stay here, okay?

Where are you going?

Geez...

You can't go in there.

Come out!

Welcome.

Do you have candles here?

We have regular white candles.

That'd seem like an ancestral ceremony.

Actually, I told him I wanted to come.

I never took you to an amusement park when you were little.

Because everyone lived like that,

I thought I could have a family and raise a child

as a mom and wife

and do a good job.

I tried...

hard, too.

But...

I think I was...

not ready back then.

I blamed other people for the things I couldn't do.

I even blamed...

you when you were so young.

I felt so bad listening to you.

I was making excuses for myself

being selfish.

I know that now.

Thank you for understanding

such a bad mom, Chan.

And...

I'm sorry.

I'm not understanding.

I just accepted it.

Just like I have things I want to do,

you had things you wanted to do, too.

You don't have to try hard to be understood by someone else.

Just like now.

The way you were...

let's just do that.

I'd like that, too.

Let's have a birthday party!

You went to get these?

Hurry up and open it, so we can blow the candles and go.

Here!

I'll blow the candles now.

Hey, not yet. We have something else to do.

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

♫ Happy birthday dear Chan ♫

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

Say ah!

- He's so handsome.- I know.

You only have tickets for night trains?

Not too many people ride the train these days,

plus we only have tickets for after 6 p.m. since it's the weekend.

Please give me two tickets for 7:30 p.m.

Thank you.

7:30 p.m...

We have lots of time.

Aren't you tired?

You didn't get to sleep much.

Let's go out.

There's only one room left.

Let's just go to a cafe.

Get some sleep.

I'll go to a cafe.

That's more strange.

Come in.

Hurry.

The owner of the photo studio asked me to say hi to you.

She left the country again.

To Serengeti.

She closed the studio, too.

I don't think he runs the guest house either.

I think I was the last guest there.

I went to the fortress, too.

It hasn't changed there.

I went there, too.

At that time,

there's nothing that stayed the same

and everything has changed.

I thought that coming down.

So you can't...

be on the stage anymore?

I don't think I'll have an opportunity to go up there again.

There's a choreographer position offer, but

I'm not sure about that either.

That took...

a long time to hear it.

Finally today...

I know. It's nothing big.

But thank you for telling me.

I feel bad, but...

I feel relieved.

[ Ms. Kang ]

Are you sleeping?

Sleeping?

Huh?

I'll be back.

Where are you going?

[ Mama ]

You were right, Chae Won.

I was presumptuous and arrogant.

But I like your writing.

Who hasn't given up before?

But Ms. Kang's writing is really good.

Hello.

Are you home?

Yes?

Ms. Kang, please come out!

I was wrong, so I apologize.

Our publishing company can't recognize a talent.

If you have a company that

you'd like to submit your work, please do it.

And if that doesn't work,

I'll publish it independently with your consent...

I was planning to quit anyway, so I'm glad.

Anyway, please take care.

Don't lose hope.

What do you mean, "Take care?"

You won't see me anymore over this?

What?

Whether I change it from Mama to Papa,

or to find a new idea, I'll do anything.

Yes, you have to!

Did you eat?

No, it's...

I'll get going now.

What? All of a sudden?

I came out of the office so suddenly, so...

I can't get fired if I want to be in charge of your work.

Let's grab something to eat next time.

I'm leaving.

Goodbye.

[ Hye Ran ]

[ Han Yoo Kyung ]

I think...

I know why you called me

from the train.

Why?

It takes less courage

this way.

This is not the summer ocean,

so I thought it was better.

Seems like the sound of waves is rougher,

the wind is colder,

and more refreshing.

I thought about...

what if I went to Nepal

the very first trip.

If I did,

would I have quit photography earlier

or...

I might have hung on to it longer, then quit.

But...

I don't think I would've continued.

And also,

if I went to Nepal,

I wouldn't have met you.

Then what...

would we be like?

What do you think would've happened?

We would've met still.

No matter when or where.

You still...

believe in fate.

Then,

what if we met after a year later

as we promised the first time?

Did you think about it?

Then,

I might have studied in New York instead of Germany.

We still...

would've gone our separate ways.

Because we always met on edge and didn't define our relationship,

we always thought about our next meeting.

Ms. Lee from the studio said...

let's not...

plan the next time.

She didn't feel like...

she was sincere...

about today's goodbyes.

I came out first to think

about how to prepare myself

to say our final goodbye.

I started to take photos again after meeting you.

Even after parting with you,

I started photography again.

I think you can do that, too.

Even if I'm not around,

you can do well.

Yoo Kyung!

It's almost time to go.

Shall we go?

[ Jeongdongjin train station ]

Today is the twelfth time.

To be with you in the same place

and at the same time.

Is it only...

that many times?

For eight years,

there wasn't a time when you weren't with me.

I still...

haven't prepared my final goodbye.

I always...

thought I was slow.

But for the last time,

I'm quick.

I wanted...

to say an awesome goodbye,

but I think I said it throughout the day.

So I won't say anything else.

Take care of yourself.

Yoo Kyung.

Thank you...

very much.

Me, too.

Take care.

I found out many things during the season.

To be able to smile comfortably and talk about the past.

♫ All the things you left me with ♫

How precious that is.

♫ It overflows onto me ♫

♫ You're there when I wasn't certain about my future ♫

[ To Da Young ]

To have an opportunity to be together next time

is such a precious thing.

Not giving up your dream to the end...

and working hard

is a great thing.

♫ Stay in my heart ♫

♫ I can't forget ♫

Hello.

Hello, I've heard a lot about you. [ Ban Woo Sik ]

- Please come in.- Yes.

♫ Always in my heart ♫

- Please come in.- Yes.

♫ Stay in my heart, I can't forget ♫

We have rooms on both sides.

- And we have a master suite inside. - I see.

We also have rooms inside.

♫ Like being an anxious child ♫

Yes, you can open it.

The fact that we can smile at small hopes

is a great joy and happiness.

♫ But you're still... ♫

I guess I won't be able to see the next year's bloom.

♫ In my heart, I can't forget you ♫

♫ You're in my heart ♫

The fact that I can endure today and

tomorrow thanks to the person by your side

is so important.

This winter,

I learned all these things faintly.

- 3 p.m. flight to New York, right?- Yes.

Yeah, how is Grandma?

She's well and strong. She's got so much energy.

Aigoo, talk quietly. It's too loud.

How can I talk softer than this?

I guess I don't have to worry about her.

Please let me talk to her.

Yoo Kyung, sorry. Wait a minute!

Is this Yoo Kyung?

Yes, Grandma.

I got to see you first time in a long time, and you're leaving so soon.

I know.

- Okay, have a safe trip back.- Yes.

Come back again.

I will.

[ A year later, in Seoul ]

[ December ]

Well, well, well...

Let's leave it alone.

No, the wallpaper is too old.

Let's just do the same white one.

Look at the house.

This vintage look didn't just happen.

The time had to be added on to it.

You say not to change this and that.

You say not to scratch it and take care of it!

I bought this house with my money.

Why are you fussing as a tenant?

I lived here longer than you, that's why.

Geez. Wait!

Yes, Ms. Kang.

Aigoo, I feel like I'm renting the house from you.

I called because of the deadline.

Please don't pressure me since I only have a few more pages to go.

We only see each other on the deadline and on planning stage.

There's nothing good about giving pressure.

So if you finish it on time, this won't be necessary.

If not, I'll have to visit you again.

Let's only see each other twice when it's time.

Aigoo.

I'm so crazy.

I shouldn't have had him as my manager.

Whatever! Whatever!

This looks so good.

It's hot. Careful.

This is hot.

Close the door. The cold wind is coming in.

How can your son be so narrow-minded?

I'm allowed to eat dinner with my friend.

Why is that such a big deal?

Don't you think so?

I heard you ate at his house.

Just the two of them?

That's because he was in my team.

I thought you asked him to be obsessed about you.

You want him to be jealous.

Gosh.

Are you going to be like this?

You came to the wrong place.

No matter what you say,

we are on Chan's side.

I totally agree.

The good old times. It was better back then.

I've come to the wrong place.

Should we FaceTime with Chan?

He said he's working this weekend.

So what? I'm working, too.

Da Young!

I knew it. They're actually on my side.

You would've been upset if we didn't call you back.

Stop teasing.

- Chan.- Yes, Mom!

Comfort Da Young.

What? You bird brain!

I did what you wanted me to do.

Why be mad? You asked me to be jealous.

You have to do it with the right person. Not with him.

You hurt my pride.

Then let me know when to do it. I'll do it then.

Such a smooth talker...

So, won't you come for Christmas?

I have to work. I can't leave.

Impatient already?

You must be cold.

Why are those two so happy?

Your mom and I will go watch a performance today. We'll go on a date!

Wow, you must be happy!

Envious, huh?

Why suffer so much at a far away country?

We should be together like this.

So that we can spend a cozy time together like this.

We can still be cozy even though we're far away. Right?

Dang! Your spit!

They're so childish. I can't show you any more.

Work hard, and I'll send you a Christmas gift.

I'm tired of gifts now.

- Goodbye!- Bye.

What? What is this?

Did he just hang up?

I didn't get to say goodbye.

But you two will go and watch a performance?

Without me?

A date for two.

[ Cha Hyun O, Dance Performance ]

Tae Jin, you have to keep the line. You're too high.

Byung Ho, your transition is too rigid.

Did I interrupt you?

No, you didn't.

But what brings you here?

This is Tae Suk.

My fiancé I told you about several times.

He's your fan and wanted to meet you.

I worked it out for him.

I enjoy watching your great performances.

Thank you.

Watch the performance before you leave.

- You, too.- Yes.

He's much better looking in person.

You don't choreograph with looks.

He wouldn't accept sponsors, huh?

That's what they say.

So I just cheer him on.

[ Photographer Han Yoo Kyung, Photo Exhibit / Cha Hyun O, Dance Performance ]

- In the corner. - Over there?

This can't go over there.

I announced it earlier.

Then where...

Please move this one to over there.

- Okay, got it.- Thank you.

Why? Is there a problem?

The light bulb for the light is out.

How about a spare? Do we have a spare one?

It's custom-made. It's a bad one. And they don't have a spare one.

I'll look up on the internet.

Ms. Han, where are you going?

We don't have much time until opening.

My legs work faster.

[ Thank you for watching Twelve Nights ]

[ Twelve Nights ]
