[Longing Heart] Subtitles by DramaFever

What?

See who before I go, now?

He's like a mouse who's considerate of the cat.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang!

what if I do that...

and end up not wanting to leave, forever?

What is he planning to do then?

[Han Ji Soo]

Let's go back.

Because...

Ji Soo will definitely be waiting for me there.

Because this definitely won't be the last time that I see her.

Because I'll be able to see her again.

Mr. Kang.

Are you really quitting?

So Kang Shin Woo told you, huh?

By any chance... Is it because of me?

Is it because I make you feel uncomfortable, and--

Look at you, saying unnecessary things again!

It's just that something came up

so I'm leaving without much prior notice, is all.

Where are you going?

This won't be the last time I see you, right, Mr. Kang?

Let's make a promise...

to meet again one day, for sure.

There's one final thing that I wanted to say to you.

Sometimes, you can be wrong or misguided when it comes to your own feelings.

And so, you can end up deceiving yourself.

But...

this part of you never lies.

So look deep into your heart and figure out who it is that you truly like.

Because, when you do...

this part of you, right here, will send you a signal.

Thanks for everything up until now.

Thanks...

for liking me.

I mean it. Thanks so much.

You have to take care now, okay?

Until we meet again.

Thank you. Really.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr. Kang.

Didn't you have thoughts like this, too...

when you liked your first love, Mr. Kang?

Things like, "I wish I could be alone with that person for just one day."

Mr. Kang.

I won't...

make you feel uncomfortable anymore.

Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not crying because I was wrong.

I also knew...

that this was the correct answer.

But I can't help it.

Sometimes, you can be wrong or misguided when it comes to your own feelings.

And so, you can end up deceiving yourself.

But...

this part of you never lies.

So look deep into your heart and figure out who it is that you truly like.

Because, when you do...

this part of you, right here, will send you a signal.

You quit your job at the school?

That's why I'm wandering around like this today.

So this is what an unemployed person's afternoon is like? It's nice.

Oh, come now.

Your mind will just start wandering since you'll be bored with nothing to do.

There's nothing good about that.

I was always really busy, ever since I graduated high school.

I had to work at part-time jobs while attending school.

Then I went to the military, graduated, and got a job.

It's the first time I've ever relaxed on a weekday afternoon like this.

Wow, you sure lived a diligent life, Mr. Kang!

I don't know who your mother is, but she must be so proud of you!

I'd be so happy if she were.

I lived my life in a diligent way so that my mother could look down at me

and be proud of me.

Oh, you're such a filial son, Mr. Kang!

Oh, I'm in the mood for a little bit of fun!

Want to do a bit of day-drinking with me since neither of us have plans today?

I'd love to!

I'll make you some fish cake soup!

- Fish cake soup? - Yes!

Let's hurry and go! Thank you so much!

So, did you play two women at once?

I told you, I've liked only one woman for ten years!

You borrowed money from her, then, didn't you?

What reason would I have had to borrow money from a girl, at 18 years old?

Oh, I'm so curious!

Why did your first love tell you, "I don't want to see you again"

after seeing you for the first time in ten years, then?

And go as far as to say that you two were bad for each other?

Her words exactly!

But now, things went well with her which is why you're going back, right?

Well, it's a bit complicated.

It's not exactly all resolved at this very moment

but I'm guessing that everything will be all right

when I get back and see her.

That's my guess, anyway.

I seriously have no idea what young people mean

when they talk about their love lives!

I do get one thing, though.

You and my Shin Woo are both the type to get really hung up over their regrets.

I mean, you said that you waited 10 years without confessing to your first love!

My Shin Woo is exactly the same way when it comes to those things.

You... knew that Shin Woo liked someone?

It'd be weird if I didn't know!

I am his mother, after all!

You know...

it's the first time I've seen Shin Woo act like this

in the 18 years I've raised him.

He keeps waking up early every morning even though I don't wake him up.

So, one day, I followed him.

And then, I saw him taking the bus with this pretty little girl!

I could tell just by watching him that my Shin Woo's heart was racing!

Oh, my son!

Goodness.

After my husband passed away early

I got so busy with trying to make a living, that I...

wasn't really able to be there all the time for my kids.

But still, even by hearing the sound of my kids opening the door and coming in...

I can tell if they're happy, sad, tired, or if they need to poop.

I know exactly how they're feeling.

Oh, and you proved my son's innocence!

And yet, I almost sent you away without even properly thanking you.

Instead of thanking me...

just promise me one thing, ma'am.

A promise?

To be honest, the reason why I came by today was to ask you this favor.

Don't ask me why.

You just have to do this for me, okay?

No matter what happens.

Sure.

You'll be getting a call from your sister soon.

And when you do...

you mustn't go to see her, no matter what.

You mean, my kids' aunt?

You have to...

promise me this, okay?

You mustn't go.

No matter what.

Am I done doing everything that needed to be done here, now?

You'll be getting a call from your sister soon.

And when you do...

you mustn't go to meet her, no matter what.

You mustn't go.

No matter what.

Where are you going?

This won't be the last time that I see you, right, Mr. Kang?

Let's make a promise...

to definitely meet again one day.

Give it one more try.

This is...

Just trust me, and try confessing one more time.

The end result of your first love

has to be different than mine, don't you think?

Will...

the future really have changed when I go back?

Will I...

be able to meet everyone again?

No.

If I stay here...

everything will just get messed up.

I'll definitely be able to see...

everyone again.

We have a patient in critical condition!

150 Joules! Charge!

If we were fated to meet, it was definitely for a bad reason.

Let's never see each other again, for both our sakes.

Ugh, damn it!

[September 28th, 2007]

Pills don't work...

and incense doesn't work, either!

How on earth am I supposed to go back?

Damn it!

Hey, what are you doing, Mister?

It's dangerous, so hurry up and get out of there, okay?

Mister!

What year is it right now?

Jeez, what kind of nonsense is this?

This is weird.

Why isn't it working?

What kind of bullshit is this? Seriously!

And in the middle of the night, too.

Falling from a high place doesn't work, and getting hit by a car doesn't work!

How many days have I been trying to go back, already?

I can't go back, no matter how hard I try!

At this rate, I'll end up going back all right

Back into the earth, when I get buried!

I wonder if the kids are doing okay?

I'm sure of it. Mr. Kang was lying about his schooling.

That's why he left all of the sudden, without any warning!

You know how they've really been cracking down on that stuff lately.

Oh, no way!

I told you, I definitely heard him say

with his own mouth that he graduated from our school!

But I can't find his name or photo anywhere!

- Really? - Yeah, yeah!

And he's not in any of the yearbooks, either!

I think he definitely lied about his education.

Hey, everyone! Our homeroom teacher is coming!

Hey, this is super rare!

Oh... really?

I got it on my first try.

Hey.

Is that the reason why you ate 10 loaves of bread yesterday?

Yeah.

You're out of your mind.

Choo Geun Deok!

Quiet down, over there!

Kang Shin Woo and Han Ji Soo talked a lot, too!

Oh, hello, there. Hello.

Damn it!

Hey, Choo Geun Deok! What are you doing?

I'm... emptying the garbage can.

Take this too, then.

Did you drink alcohol again last night, Ms. Baek?

Did you bite someone again?

What do you think I am, a dog? I don't bite whenever I drink!

But you know, Choo Geun Deok.

How did you know that I bite when I'm drunk?

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Um... Shin Woo told me.

Damn it, why did that bastard have to go around telling people that?

So, um... why did you drink alcohol?

Oh, I went on a blind date.

What? With who?

With Shin Woo's older sister's older colleague from work.

With Shin Woo's older sister's older colleague from work?

Then, they're probably not even from Seoul!

What, am I supposed to wait for a guy from Seoul

in a middle-of-nowhere town like this and eventually die a spinster, then?

It's fine, as long as they meet my other qualifications.

Qualifications? Like what?

Being older than me.

I'm into guys that are older than me, you see.

Someone who I could call "Big Brother."

Hey, guys.

How can I have a girl call me "big brother"

even if I was born later than her?

- What are you saying? - Hey.

What?

Look at this, look at this!

Oh my gosh, Big Brother! He's so cool!

Oh my gosh, look at him dance!

He's so cool when he does that! Oh, Big Brother!

She's mooning over him, even though I ate all that bread for her!

Hey!

Those guys are younger than you, all right?

Why are you calling them "big brother?"

What are you saying?

I'll call him "big brother" if he has more money than me.

- Oh, so cool! - That's it!

Oh.

By the way, have you heard, Shin Woo?

About what?

So Ra told me that Ji Soo may be leaving to study abroad.

What? Studying abroad?

What are you doing tomorrow? It's the weekend, after all.

Should all of us go somewhere and have fun together?

Sorry, but I have to go here tomorrow.

[Study Abroad Info Session 2007]

So you're really... going to study abroad?

No, I'm not going.

But my mom and dad said they'll stop nagging me about it if I just go to this.

And it looks like I'll have to take the ferry off the island too, thanks to that.

Hey, that's a relief!

I was worried that you'd say that you'd actually leave!

To be honest, I was considering going when my parents first brought it up.

But I ultimately decided to stay here.

Why?

Just because... I felt like it.

Oh yeah.

Why are you only sticking that one on your pencil case?

I have to stick it here so that I can look at it often.

I think I kind of understand why you want to stay here.

[New Patient Form]

I'm here because I have a cold.

You... were born in 1990?

Yes.

Um, yes, I was born in 1990.

Then, you're a second year in high school right now?

Don't I look like I am?

Sir!

Using someone else's personal information to receive medical care

is a violation of the National Health Insurance Act--

Wait!

That really is my citizen ID number!

Look!

Call the police.

Call the police.

Oh!

Aren't you Shin Woo's teacher?

I heard you quit working at the school, but you're still here?

I have to tell Na Hee.

Whoa, no! No, you can't!

I'm... I'm leaving today.

Today...

Where are you going, in this state?

You definitely seem like you need to be nursed back to health.

Well, um, so...

I'm going to a much bigger hospital that isn't on this island.

Don't tell anyone you saw me, okay? You can't tell anyone!

I already said my goodbyes and everything! How embarrassing!

Ugh!

Excuse me, sir!

If he was born in 1990, I was born in 1999!

What a joke.

Huh?

This belongs to Kang Shin Woo.

So why does his homeroom teacher have this?

Hey.

None of the socks are matched properly.

What's the matter? Did something happen?

Mom.

Are interpersonal relationships predetermined?

Interpersonal relationships?

I keep trying my best, but things won't work out for me.

So it's making me wonder if things are just fated to not work out between us.

Ugh.

There's no such thing as a predetermined interpersonal relationship

or an interpersonal relationship that was doomed from the start.

You have to take the chances that are given to you to turn it into "fate."

You may be fated to be together.

But if you don't take the chance that is given to you

it'll just become a passing breeze.

Oh, you.

Why do you over-think things so much when you're a guy?

At this rate, you'll end up like your homeroom teacher!

Why are you bringing up Mr. Kang all of the sudden?

Be good to your mother.

Pardon?

You don't know, do you?

That the reason why your mother is taking medicine is because she has bad knees.

What?

Mom.

Do you have bad knees, mom?

How did you know? Do you have x-ray vision?

My homeroom teacher told me.

How is it that Mr. Kang knows me better than my own son?

Come to think of of it, there were some things about him that were weird.

He knows way too much about me.

And sometimes, he acted as if he knew what was going to happen.

Maybe he's psychic?

Psychic? Oh, as if!

He's so kind and friendly.

I'd have no other wish in the world if you grew up to be like him!

Oh, it's fine. You don't have to. I'm sure your hands hurt.

Just sit still.

Want me to massage your shoulders for you, too?

Could you please?

- There we go. - Oh, that feels great.

- It does? - Yeah.

[Ji Soo]

Have you heard, Shin Woo?

So Ra told me that Ji Soo may be leaving to study abroad.

Study abroad?

You have to take the chances that are given to you to turn it into "fate."

You may be fated to be together.

But if you don't take the chance that is given to you

it'll just become a passing breeze.

Yeah.

I don't care if we're fated to be or not.

I can't just sit here and do nothing.

I can't just let her go without even giving it a shot.

I have something to tell you, Ji Soo.

I'll wait for you at 1 o' clock on Firefly Bridge.

[Text Sent]

It doesn't matter what I call it

since it's not like my feelings will change.

Happy birthday, Mr. Kang.

Ji Soo! Han Ji Soo!

Mr. Kang.

I'll leave this here.

My feelings, I mean.

Who could it be?

Yeah, Big Sis?

Are you sick?

Yeah. I'll come over right now.

If I leave now and take the ferry--

Please promise me one thing.

Don't ask me why.

You just have to do this for me, okay?

No matter what.

All right.

You'll be getting a call from your sister soon.

And when you do...

you mustn't go to see her, no matter what.

You mean, my kids' aunt?

You have to promise me this, okay?

Big Sis.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to come right now.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Big Sis. Take care of yourself, okay?

How did Mr. Kang know that I'd be getting this kind of call?

Hello?

Yes?

- Yes? - Hello.

- You're here? - Yes.

- It's a package for Shin Woo. - I see.

- Can you sign, please? - Sure.

- Thank you! - Goodbye.

Did we get a package?

Your citizen ID card is finally here.

Oh, I was wondering when my son would finally grow into a man.

And you're all grown now.

Are you going somewhere?

Huh? Yeah.

I'm going to meet a friend.

- I'll be going now. - Wait, wait!

Good luck.

Huh? Um... what do you mean?

I told you, I'm going to see a friend.

I'll be going now.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, I forgot to give him this.

How could he go out to the battlefield without any ammo?

Did Shin Woo go somewhere, Mom?

He said he was going to meet up with a friend.

Jeez, and I had something to talk to him about, too.

He's such an idiot, leaving things like this lying around!

This is his citizen ID card.

I saw Shin Woo's homeroom teacher, and he had this with him.

But, do they reuse old cards to make the new ones nowadays?

Why does it look so worn when it's brand new?

But... Shin Woo's citizen ID card arrived just now.

So, why does Mr. Kang have this?

- Mom! - Oh, goodness!

You can't go, no matter what, okay?

Do you have bad knees, mom?

How did you know?

My homeroom teacher told me.

How is it that Mr. Kang knows me better than my own son?

Come to think of of it, there were some things about him that were weird.

He knows way too much about me.

And sometimes, he acted as if he knew what was going to happen.

[Ji Soo]

This caller is unavailable. Leave a message at the tone.

Did something happen to her?

It was difficult to fix this. Please don't drop it again.

- It's all fixed now? - Yes.

Thank you! Here.

Is it a habit of yours to not know how to apologize?

Oh my. I'm oh-so-very sorry.

Isn't there another person you should apologize to, besides me?

Who?

I heard from everyone else.

Everyone forgot about it since they thought it was too boring to gossip about

but the person who smoked in the bathroom that day was you.

How could you walk around with your head held high after framing Shin Woo for it?

And you didn't apologize to him at all!

What about you, then?

Did you apologize to Kang Shin Woo?

What?

Oh, wait, no.

Maybe what you shouldn't be doing is apologizing

but thanking him, instead.

What... are you talking about?

All right, I'll be up front with you.

I didn't frame Kang Shin Woo for the cigarette incident.

He chose to take the blame for it.

All because of you.

Hey, Go Sung Jin.

Are you really going to sell this?

Give me a decent price for it, please.

What's gotten into you? You love this thing.

I was told that I'd die while riding this.

What?

You think I told you this so that you could die?

No, I'm telling you so that you can avoid dying.

How do you know something that'll happen next year--

Don't ask me how I know.

You wouldn't get it even if I told you, and I can't tell you anyway.

If it makes you feel better, my instincts have been quite off lately.

You saw how I was wrong about Kang Shin Woo.

Oh yeah.

I've taken care of the cigarette incident, more or less.

Last time, you used an underhand method to get your way

but this time, this is a chance that I'm giving to you.

It's up to you whether you want to make the most of this chance, or waste it.

So, do your best.

Why are you going to such lengths for me?

I've developed some expectations, after watching Kang Shin Woo.

If a person can change...

one's fate can probably change, too.

That kind of expectation.

Jeez, who said such an unlucky thing?

Oh, just a teacher who isn't half-bad.

[September 30th, 2007]

Today is the day...

of my mother's death.

I didn't frame Kang Shin Woo for the cigarette incident.

He chose to take on the blame.

Because of you.

Oh, I just had my reasons, is all.

The best option would've been to have this settled after I got a beating.

He said that he's leaving early in the morning.

And I thought that you'd want to see him.

Tell me something else, too.

After all...

you need someone to lend you an ear right now.

I have something to tell you, Ji Soo.

I'll wait for you at Firefly Bridge at 1 o' clock tomorrow.

So look deep into your heart and figure out who it is that you truly like.

Because, when you do...

this part of you, right here, will send you a signal.

You were here like this, this entire time?

You should've gone home if I didn't send you a reply!

Or you could've asked me to reschedule with you!

Why did you stay here, like this?

But, it's because I was here, like this...

that you ended up coming in the end.

You must be cold. Let's go somewhere else.

What is it... that you wanted to tell me?

What?

The thing you wanted to tell me.

What was it?

Could people's fates really change...

when situations change, and people change?

Hello?

Yes, hello. I'm Shin Woo's homeroom teacher.

His mother is home right now, correct?

Oh, Mom headed out.

Um... where did she go?

She said she was going to see you.

You said you were going to a hospital off the island yesterday.

So she went to take the ferry.

N-no. No.

What?

We have to hurry.

We have to hurry! There's going to be an accident!

No!

[Kang Shin Woo]

This time, will I be able to stop fate...

which is escaping...

through my fingers, like the wind?

Just a moment.

Hello?

Where are you right now, Kang Shin Woo?

Mr. Kang?

I asked you where you are right now!

What's wrong? Is something the matter?

Mom...

Mom is in danger.

Pardon?

Our mom is in danger!

"Our mom?"

What's going on?

What happened to your mom?

It's nothing.

But I think I have to go now.

Let's talk about this again later, after I go take care of this.

I'll call you.

Shin Woo! Shin Woo!

I just...

saw your mom, not too long ago.

Mr. Kang! Why are you still--

I'm going to borrow this for a bit.

Wait!

Mr. Kang!

Get in, Kang Shin Woo!

You were here this whole time, Mr. Kang?

Something came up.

But, what happened to your mother, Mr. Kang?

Did something happen to her?

She was in an accident 10 years ago.

There was a huge accident in which a ferry boat sank.

What does an accident from ten years ago have to do with now?

That day from ten years ago is today

and our mom was on that ferry that sank.

What do you mean--

What is this?

A cellphone from 10 years in the future.

Put your hand on it. It'll only unlock with my fingerprint.

You said that this only unlocks with your fingerprint, Mr. Kang.

So why is this unlocking with my fingerprint--

Because it's the same fingerprint.

What?

You still don't understand who I really am, Kang Shin Woo?

Um, not me, but my mother--

Hey, you punk! Despite everything, I never sold out my mom!

How dare you do that to our mom, you bastard!

Because of you, I've only come to realize so many things just now!

And because of that, I'm filled with more regret and remorse than you!

Shin Woo didn't do it. I know this for a fact.

He definitely wasn't the one who did this.

I told you, I definitely heard him say with his own mouth

that he graduated from our high school!

But I can't find his name or photo anywhere!

Could you be...

No way, this can't be.

- This can't be-- - Oh, but it can.

It can.

I'm right in front of you right now, after all.

I'm the 28-year-old version of you, from 10 years in the future.

Then, our mom right now is...

I tried to stop it.

But things ended up this way again.

You'll get to see this face as much as you want in the mirror, in ten years.

So focus on praying right now instead.

Pray that things will end up differently this time.

Has the 2 o' clock ferry left?

Yes, it left on time.

No.

You have to stop them! Call them and stop that boat, right now!

Pardon?

That ferry will be involved in an accident soon!

- Hurry up and stop it! Hurry! - Yes, this is the ferry office.

Pardon?

I think there's been an accident.

- What? - What's going on?

What happened?

Why are you all panicked?

Another boat has crashed into our ferry!

Yes.

No!

Please stay back!

- Goodness! - Where are you going?

I can't let this happen.

I can't let things end this way again.

It's possible that it could be different this time.

It's possible that Mom didn't take that boat this time!

No.

I know she was.

There was only that one ferry.

Things are exactly the same as that day.

What are you planning to do?

I can't just let her go like this for a second time!

Mr. Kang!

Why now?

Why here?

Why?

I need to make you a coupon and give you stamps on it, Mr. Kang!

I've been running this place for ten years now

and it's the first time I've ever had a regular like you.

To me, this food right here is the most delicious food in the whole world.

Oh, thank you so much.

I just stir-fried these, Mr. Kang. Try it.

Oh, I'm sorry, but I have a nut allergy.

- Really? - Yes.

You're exactly like our Shin Woo in that way, too!

I mean, your names are the same.

And your faces look kind of similar, too!

Are you all right?

Shin Hee! Bring us some water!

- Are you all right? - Um, yes.

Hey, Shin Hee.

Take a look at Mr. Kang.

Doesn't he look just like our Shin Woo?

Which part?

You mean how he has two eyes, one nose, and one mouth?

Jeez, she can be so harsh.

- Enjoy! - All right. Thank you.

Is she really my one and only blood-related sister?

Ugh.

Huh? Mr. Kang?

Huh?

Be good to your mother.

Pardon?

You didn't know, did you?

That the reason why your mother is taking medicine is because she has bad knees.

My mom is?

How did you know that, Mr. Kang?

These things become really obvious when you become an adult.

I only found this out about my own mother after she passed away

and I was going through her belongings.

And I saw the same medication at your mother's store.

I won!

Aw, come on! What was that?

You lied about that just now, didn't you?

Hey, you punk!

I'm not like you, who uses his mother in his lies!

At any rate, I won.

So help your mom with the store until it closes, okay?

This is not fair. Let's play one more round.

This is our fifth game already!

All right, fine. I'll hear you out.

What did you want if you were to win, anyway?

Can I be honest?

Yeah.

I want to hit you like this, just once.

- Oh, you! - Ow!

You really are the type that deserves to get hit.

Ugh.

Hey, hey, get up. Get up.

- Get up! - Ow! Ow!

Ow! Mom! The teacher is-- ow!

- Give that to me, ma'am! - Why?

- I'll do it. - It's okay!

- No, I can do it. - It's fine. Shin Woo? Do it.

Sweep. Sweep here!

Hurry up and sweep this!

- He's not the type who'd do it. - It's okay, ma'am.

It's all right. He has to do it.

- Work hard, then! - Hey, here!

Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up and do this!

Wow, how cool!

- Goodness, look at him. - Hey, Kang Shin Woo!

All right, I'll do it!

Subtitles by DramaFever

Stand by. Cue!

- Give that to me, ma'am! - Why?

- I'll do it. - It's okay!

Oh gosh.

Doesn't it feel like our ears are getting clogged up?

No, no. Right now is fine.

There we go! Oh!

Where are you shooting that from?

Wait.

- Whoa! - Wait, wait!

Oh, this isn't right!

There we go.

I used to play the crane machine games when I was young.

- Oh, crane machines? - Let's roll!

All right, go!

I won!

What? What was that?
