Jun Woo, Hwi Young is leaving today.

He wanted to leave when no one else was around.

Mr. Oh.

Thank you for everything.

And...

I'm sorry.

I was rude...

and disrespectful to you.

Even my parents were so rude to you.

And I only cared about myself, being the selfish guy I am.

I apologize for everything.

For what I did...

to Jun Woo as well.

Hwi Young.

You got through the worst part.

You'll probably have to go through more ordeals,

but don't resent anyone.

Just stay strong and live your life...

of your own accord.

I will.

Gosh. I have to say,

I'm sad that you're leaving.

Take good care of yourself,

and stay in touch.

Yes, I will.

Soo Bin.

You'll be fine, right?

Take care.

Bye.

You said I'm dropping out because I want to run away.

So I thought hard about it,

but I think this is the only thing I can do now.

Going to school...

with students who have been studying so hard and honestly...

makes me feel too guilty.

I'll pay...

for all the bad things that I did to you...

and repent for the rest of my life.

Jun Woo.

Thanks for forgiving me.

I'm off.

Do you want to ride my bike with me?

Sure.

Choi Jun Woo! I'm sorry.

Soo Bin, I feel happy.

Jun Woo!

Soo Bin.

What brings you here? I can do this alone.

No, I...

I wanted to get here early,

but I have to go to the academy later.

Okay, that's fine.

- You're sweating. - Gosh, don't.

I'm all sweaty. Today is an important day, you know.

Gosh, you can't even run that well.

Thank goodness you didn't fall.

Jun Woo, today...

Today...

I'll do a good job. Don't worry.

You'll do great.

Best of luck.

Thanks.

- I should head in, Soo Bin. - Okay.

- Break a leg. - Get back safely.

Okay, you'll do great.

Thanks.

Go on in.

You can only use the given tools,

and you cannot change your seat.

You got this, Jun Woo.

Soo Bin.

What's wrong?

I have to retake the course.

Again?

What do you mean?

Why? What happened?

I'm not the only one that has to retake it.

Everyone has to do it?

Gosh, I studied so hard. Why do I have to retake it?

Just forget about it. Why don't we go have lunch?

Okay.

I heard the food at the cafeteria here is very good.

Let's eat off-campus.

Shall we?

That will be better, right?

- Yes. - All right, then.

(Shelter Psychiatric Nursing Hospital)

How have you been, brother?

Mom and Dad couldn't come because they're a little busy.

They're doing well.

Also, I dropped out of school.

I need some time to think...

about how I should live.

(I love you, son.)

You know what?

You've always been my idol since I was a kid.

You were smart, and you were a straight-A student.

You were even good at sports and good-looking.

You were Mom and Dad's favorite.

They couldn't be more proud of you.

They always told me to try to be as good as you.

Just as good as you.

But I'll stop trying to be as good as you.

I'll be as good as I can be.

Just as good as I can be.

I'll find what I should do...

on my own.

Someone taught me that.

I wonder how Jun Woo is doing.

Soo Bin.

- Mom. - Get in.

We haven't been on a date like this in ages.

I'm sorry. I've been too busy.

Don't apologize. I think what you do is cool.

Soo Bin.

I've given it some thought.

From now on,

I'll try to trust you more.

But right now, I can't be...

entirely happy about you two dating.

I know.

Still, I'm sorry...

I reacted so emotionally.

Mom.

Can I ask you a favor?

What is it?

I want you to stop...

caring about Dad.

Be strong and live your own life.

You've been doing your best so far.

Don't care about what other people think.

If you're worried about me, I'm really okay.

I want you to continue to be...

the confident, cool woman you are.

Not just Yoo Soo Bin's mom...

or Yoo Jong Su's wife.

The fabulous career woman, Yoon Song Hee.

Like you've always been.

Okay?

Soo Bin.

Do you think we can order even more food after this?

- Even more? - This is...

- Hi, Mom. - Jun Woo, did it go well?

I did my best, but I'm not sure.

The other kids were so good.

I'm sure you did better than anyone else.

Good job, son.

Where are you, by the way? There's an echo.

I'm at a big supermarket.

We ran out of ingredients.

Mom.

Should I come today?

What?

Why are you so surprised?

Go home and rest.

Why would you come here?

All right.

Don't skip meals.

Okay. You too.

Bye.

Isn't Aunt Hae Young there?

She's not feeling so well these days.

You don't seem very well either. Are you sick?

No. I'm in perfect health.

I'm sure he did well.

Soo Bin.

I'm with Mom. Can we text instead?

Soo Bin, everything went well.

Good job. Are you going home?

No. I'm on my way to my mom.

I'm going to surprise her.

Oh, she'll be so happy. Have a safe trip.

I've been on a date with my mom.

(Jeokseong Snack Restaurant)

(Jeokseong Snack Restaurant)

Mom.

Are you home?

We just closed the restaurant and are finishing up.

How was it at the restaurant today?

Was it okay?

Yes, of course.

All right.

(Aunt Hae Young)

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message.

You'll be charged after the beep.

(Aunt Seon Mi)

Aunt Seon Mi.

It's me, Jun Woo.

Have you been well?

I'm wondering...

if something happened to my mom's restaurant.

Please tell me.

I see.

Jun Woo, are you asleep?

Did you visit your mom?

Yes, I did.

Can I call you?

Hey.

Jun Woo, was your mom happy from your surprise visit?

Yes.

But you sound a bit worried about something.

No, I'm not.

Don't lie. I could already see your face from the text you sent.

What is it?

It's nothing.

I guess I was too nervous today.

Yes, I know.

It must've been a long day for you.

Yes, I'm a bit tired.

Then I'll sing you a lullaby...

so you can sleep well.

Okay.

While the mother is out at sea

Picking for oysters

The baby is left alone

Looking after the house

The sea sings a song

A lullaby from the sea

The baby puts her head on her arm

And falls asleep

Ms. Lee! Hurry up and get in.

- I'm sorry I'm late. - Why are you so late?

I'm sorry. Hello.

- Don't be late tomorrow. - Okay.

Goodnight.

I'm so sleepy.

(Jeokseong Snack Restaurant)

Hey, Jun Woo.

Mom, what are you doing?

What do you think?

There are so many customers right now. I'm really busy.

No, you're not.

Mom.

Tell me the truth.

What kind of situation we're in.

How difficult it is.

Don't worry. I'll take care of everything.

How can you call this taking care of...

Mom. I'm not a kid anymore.

If there's a problem, you should discuss it with me.

It's just you and me in our family.

I'm your guardian too.

Why are you trying to carry the weight of the world alone?

I feel so guilty and stupid for...

not being aware of this all this time.

Jun Woo, don't think that way.

I hid it from you...

because there was a good reason I couldn't tell you.

You did nothing wrong.

Mom.

Tell me everything.

I want to know.

To tell you the truth, Aunt Hae Young...

took the money we needed for remodeling this place,

but I can't reach her.

It's quite a large amount...

that took me a lot of time to save up.

For now, instead of opening up this restaurant...

and making money,

I decided working part-time would be better.

I'm going to take care of everything. Don't worry, Jun Woo.

I'm going to reopen this place as well.

So you just concentrate on...

preparing for art school. Do you understand me?

Mom.

I'm sorry.

Monthly expenses.

Electric bill, food expenses,

transportation expenses, and my academy fee.

The total is...

(73 dollars. Sigh...)

Jun Woo, what are you doing?

I'm at the academy.

Are you learning well?

Yes, I am.

Have a good day.

Shall we run away?

I was too busy to call you yesterday.

Jun Woo.

Do you remember the day we got soaked in the rain right here?

Yes.

By the way, why did you do that?

Did you think you'd be able to block all the rain like that?

I don't know.

What I felt that day...

was something I had never felt before.

What did you feel?

I felt as if...

getting soaked in the rain with you...

was washing away all the hurtful feelings I had inside my heart.

Jun Woo, what do you plan to do during the summer break?

I'm not sure.

The summer vacation is finally...

- It's back! - It's back!

No one looked excited when we were talking about the school trip.

Are you that excited about not having to see me?

- Yes. - Pil Sang.

I was joking, of course. I'm actually sad.

Mr. Oh, how am I going to get through the summer without you?

Pil Sang, stop putting on such a show.

Don't forget to check your homework for each subject.

I hope you all stay productive and healthy during the break.

And don't call me too often even if you guys miss me.

Mr. Oh, can I follow you on social media?

Me too! Please follow me back.

I'm already following you guys.

- I see. - I see.

Oh Han Kyeol.

This was your first time acting as an HR teacher, and you did it.

Well done.

All right, guys.

Let's wrap up. Enjoy your summer break.

I'm off!

- Bye, Mr. Oh! - Bye!

What's with Mr. Oh today? He's being so corny.

Guys, how about we party it up today to celebrate?

- Good call! - When will you keep your promise?

I have to ask my mom first.

You can join us if you want.

Okay, I will. I should join you girls, of course.

Oh Je and Jun Woo.

Hang out with us. Go, let's go!

Pack up.

- Pack up your stuff. - Pack up.

What should we do?

You look so excited.

Mr. Oh!

Ji Min, this is... We're on school grounds now.

Calm down. Please calm down.

I...

Gosh, it's okay.

There's always next time, you know?

Do you want to go shopping today?

Or shall we go have some meat?

I got in, Mr. Oh.

I got in!

Seriously? Ji Min!

Wait, hold on. Ji Min.

Let's get out of here first.

Come on.

My gosh, Ki Tae. Look at you, volunteering at school.

Oh, just a second.

Throw out your own garbage, will you?

But this is right here. Sorry.

By the way, did you see Hwi Young leave?

No, I didn't.

He'll probably get in touch with me after he pulls himself together.

Gosh, can you make sure to pick up all the garbage?

Go away, Sang Hoon.

Take it easy.

- My gosh. - What just happened?

You're good.

Pil Sang, you're pretty good at bowling.

Of course. I'm good at everything else but studying.

And I'm very good to you.

Cut it out. All right, Pil Sang.

Let's go to the movies this Saturday.

- Seriously? - But...

all of you have to come with us.

Otherwise, I won't go.

Guys, help me out just this one time.

I'll buy all the movie tickets.

Hey.

Pil Sang, do you think we're broke or what?

Thanks!

Guys, let's go!

- Let's go. - Just a moment.

Go Soo Bin!

That was so close.

Gosh, too bad.

I know.

Gosh, this feels like a dream.

I can't believe Ji Min got in.

She said she was going to the ladies' room.

What's taking her so long?

Ta-da!

I love you, I love you, I love you

What's all this, Ji Min?

Mr. Oh, thank you for waiting for me.

And thank you for always being there for me.

I'm going to formally ask you out today.

Please be my boyfriend.

Okay.

Jun Woo, is something bothering you?

Oh Je.

- Yes. - To tell you the truth,

I'm debating whether I should go live with my mom.

Did something happen to her?

I think I should be by her side.

She's...

going through something at the moment,

and I'm the only one she has.

I want to see if there's anything I can do...

to help unburden her.

But still...

This thought struck me...

when I saw my mom the other day.

I've been...

feeling lonely, thinking that I'm all alone in the world,

but perhaps my mom is lonelier than anybody else at the moment.

I now have Soo Bin,

you,

and Mr. Oh in my life.

Are you hesitant because of Soo Bin?

[VIU Ver] jTBC E16 'At Eighteen / Moment At Eighteen' "This Goodbye Isn't Forever" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Mom, I'm going to the academy.

Study hard even during the break.

Okay, I will.

Hello?

Yes.

Hello, thank you for making time to meet with me.

What's up?

I heard you did much better on the exam this time.

And I've decided on my career path.

I want to go to art school.

I started going to an art academy too.

Art school? It'll be tough.

That's okay.

What did you want to talk to me about?

If you're going to ask for my permission to date Soo Bin,

you won't get my answer. I hope you understand.

No, it's not about that.

I have...

a favor to ask of you.

That's why I called.

What is it?

Please allow me...

to hang out with Soo Bin for just one day.

Why not just hang out with her without asking me?

Please give her your permission...

so that she can hang out with me without feeling bad.

I plan to move back to where my mom is...

so that I can be by her side,

which means I won't be able to see Soo Bin for a while.

Why all of a sudden? Did something happen?

She has a bit of a situation now.

But...

I'd like to tell Soo Bin myself.

I'd appreciate it...

if you could keep it from her until then.

Please don't tell her.

All right.

I won't tell her.

Thank you.

Jun Woo.

Thank you so much for comforting Soo Bin back then.

And I think...

I reacted too emotionally.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

I'll be going then.

Okay.

Hi.

Where are you?

I'm at the academy.

Are you on your way home?

Yes.

Is something wrong?

Well...

It's just that we don't see each other so much.

The vacation started, so we can't meet at school either.

Go home.

Jun Woo, it's a bit tiring, isn't it?

Let's hang in there until the day...

my mom approves of our relationship and we can meet freely.

Actually, it doesn't matter to me.

Should we meet now?

No.

Until the day.

Go home now.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

- I'm home. - Did you study hard?

Have you been somewhere?

What? I just stepped out for a moment.

Hey.

You...

You're on vacation now. Why don't you meet him once?

Who do you mean?

Jun Woo.

Why are you saying this?

You asked me...

to trust you.

Also, your grades went up.

You said he's been working hard too.

I'm not saying you can date. Meet him and get some fresh air.

Thanks, Mom.

Meeting him with your permission even for a day would be great.

You don't seem too excited.

I am. Thank you.

Jun Woo, the thing you asked for the other day.

Thank you.

He gives private lessons around there.

- Give him a call. - I will.

I really hope you'll win a prize.

I don't think I will. All the other kids were too good.

Jun Woo. Choi Jun Woo.

I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.

Jun Woo, will you go on a date with me? All day?

I have my mom's permission.

Okay.

Are you at the academy? Focus.

Let's talk later.

Okay.

Thanks. I'll talk to you later.

Good. Like that.

He's painting.

Jun Woo.

Jun Woo, your skills have improved so much.

What did I tell you? I'm good at recognizing talent.

So why?

I heard you're quitting the academy.

Well...

I wanted to tell you first.

I think I should go to my mom.

What do you mean?

Are you saying you're transferring?

My mom is in a bit of a situation.

I think I should stay with her and help her as much as I can.

Jun Woo.

I hope this doesn't hurt your feelings.

Will you let me help you?

Mr. Oh.

I appreciate...

your concern.

I mean...

You're all settled now.

You found what you want to do, and you're going to a good academy.

To me, it seems like everything is finally in place.

That's why I'm going.

I know I can do well...

wherever I am now.

You're running away right now!

Fine, walk away trying to look all cool. But you failed.

Hey!

Jun Woo! You're only running away!

All right, Jun Woo.

Go.

Go to your mom...

and be with her.

I think you can do that now.

Without you,

I'd feel a little empty.

But I think you can do that.

Soo Bin.

You look pretty.

Do I look okay?

You look very pretty.

See you later.

Okay?

Soo Bin.

One more thing.

I've given some thought to what you said. I thought very hard.

Thank you so much...

for giving me courage.

Soo Bin, I'll try to do as you said.

Okay?

I love you, Mom.

I love you so much.

I'm sorry.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Like this? - Yes.

1, 2, 3.

One more time. 1, 2, 3.

Pil Sang.

Do you want to go out?

What?

I'll just say it one more time.

Let's go out.

- What are you doing? - Sit down!

- Sit down! - Gosh.

- Are you crazy? - I can't see.

I can't see.

This feels nice.

Yes.

Soo Bin.

Yes?

I have something to tell you.

I know.

I kept having this strange feeling,

so I called your mom.

Since you visited your mom last time,

something kept bothering me.

She said...

you keep trying to go to her.

No matter how much she refuses.

I'm sorry for telling you too late.

What do you think I said?

Hello, this is Yoo Soo Bin.

Yes. How have you been?

By any chance,

is there something wrong with Jun Woo?

He seemed down lately,

so I got worried and called you.

It's okay. You can tell me.

No matter how much I try to stop him,

I don't know if it's because he's too worried about me,

but he keeps insisting he should come live here.

So I eventually agreed.

You must be very upset, Soo Bin.

Right? I feel so bad.

I'm really okay on my own.

Jun Woo...

probably thought about it a lot too.

No matter where Jun Woo lives,

what's important is for him to feel at ease.

He can keep studying hard...

and focus on his art studies.

That's what's important.

I'll keep staying in touch with Jun Woo,

so don't worry.

Jun Woo, it must've been so tough for you.

But Jun Woo,

although I said that to your mom,

I...

still feel...

Soo Bin, to be honest,

you're the one that worries me the most too.

But...

Even if I go live with my mom,

it's not like it's over between us.

We can each stay in our own positions and wait...

a little longer.

Okay.

From now on,

let's never wear sad or depressed faces.

Promise me.

I promise.

You're so kind, Soo Bin.

You're so kind, Jun Woo

(Congratulations, you have won second place!)

Hey, Jun Woo. You came in second place.

You won second place?

Congratulations!

I feel so proud of you.

- Soo Bin. - Congratulations.

Congratulations, Jun Woo.

Thank you, Soo Bin.

- Great job. - Thank you.

That was so fast.

How about another lap?

That was already our seventh lap.

You should go inside now.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Soo Bin.

I have a favor to ask you.

What is it?

When I leave,

I don't think you should come.

Why not?

I don't want you to see me leaving.

I'll come back to see you.

I'll be even more handsome when I return.

Go.

My mom will be waiting when you arrive.

Thank you, sir.

Jun Woo is leaving today, right?

Yes.

Shouldn't you go see him and say goodbye?

I have to do this.

The academy is closed today.

All right.

It's like another world.

It is another world.

The world I live in.

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday to you - Blow them out.

Many happy returns.

Jun Woo.

I'm going to the academy.

Soo Bin.

Have a good day.

Bumbi.

The password is Soo Bin's birthday.

You, again?

Yes, it's me.

No...

Jun Woo.

Choi Jun Woo!

Jun Woo.

Choi Jun Woo! Jun Woo.

Jun Woo...

Choi Jun Woo!

Jun Woo!

Soo Bin.

Even though we're facing this moment of farewell now,

this goodbye isn't forever...

because all the moments we shared are still shining so radiantly...

and the dazzling moments that I experienced at the age of 18...

were truly beautiful.
