12 YEARS PROMISE

EPISODE 7

Hello.

I got lost looking for the teacher's room.

Goal! They did it! They put it in!

Let's go steady.

What?

I said let's go steady.

Jun-su!

Yu Jun-su!

Why aren't you looking? Over here!

Don't look.

Don't look at her.

Ouch!

What is it? What's going on?

Guk!

Don't call me that.

Jang Guk.

-I don't have time for this. -We need to talk. That day...

-Are you retarded? -Listen to me!

It's meaningless.

That's it to you?

Jun-su.

I told you I'll do it myself.

You're cute, even though you act weird.

I'm cute? You're the one who smells like a baby.

-What? -You smell like a baby.

I smell like a baby?

Guk!

Why are you crying?

I asked you why you are crying!

-Mom! -Did you fight?

-No. -Are the Seoul girls bullying you?

I said it's not like that.

Then why are you sitting here crying?

You're driving me crazy. Tell me!

I'm crying because things are so hard that I want to die!

Are you done crying?

Yes.

My daughter must have been having a hard time studying.

You don't have to go to Seoul National University.

I heard that you're a very good student if you make one of the top three schools.

You realized that now?

Fine. I'll go easy on you.

A private university is going to cost a lot.

But I'll be satisfied with the top three.

People would beat you up for saying such a thing.

Why?

The kids here, they go to institutions, have private tutors, and all the rest.

I'm nothing compared to them.

Really? What are we going to do then?

-It's no joke. -I'm not joking around either.

But what's the point of getting private lessons every day.

If you go there and not pay attention, you won't get anything out of it.

You just don't get it.

What I'm saying is, if you don't do your best, it's a waste of time.

You need to have a goal.

I loved your father very much.

You know that, right?

When I found out that your father died,

I just wanted to die too.

It was so hard and it was so shocking

that I didn't want to listen to anything. I just wanted to die with him.

But I saw you and Hun standing there.

Do you remember?

Yes.

So I decided to go on.

I should raise my kids before I die.

You are my goal. The reason I go on living.

If you stumble, then I stumble.

If I stumble, then Hun completely falls apart.

Do you know what I mean?

We're not wealthy but I'll do my best.

So don't say that you want to die.

That makes me want to give up and leave this world.

Mom...

I'm sorry.

So you should be.

But we all get like that at times.

Don't give up.

I'm completely and forever on your side.

Your mom is here for you. You got that?

Yes.

Hello?

Hello?

Yes, ma'am. This is Heo Se-min.

Good morning.

We'll be out of the office today. So we won't be needing snacks.

Yes, I'll call you later. Bye.

I've been saving the settlement money for the kids' education.

Why are you bringing that up? That was the cost for his death.

I didn't say anything. It's because you brought it up.

Hi.

You can get your own drinks now! You, twerp!

Why are you talking nonsense to me? I'm busy planning our business.

Everything is set to go. Why are you having different thoughts now?

-It doesn't feel right. -What doesn't?

I think it's compensation money from her dead husband's car accident.

-You mean the widow's money? -Yes.

So are you saying it's unlucky or uncomfortable?

Both.

Then why did you come along so far?

What?

-Ouch. -I asked you to come here.

-That's not what I mean. -And...

Don't call her a widow. Big sis.

No, Hun's mother.

No, just ma'am.

-Listen to your crap. -What?

Do you like her?

Are you nuts?

Then why are you ruining a perfectly made meal?

I haven't even started cooking yet.

Just rent an average car and get an average office.

Find a gourmet dumpling restaurant and get their name.

You want a piece of the pie without even putting in a dime?

You said she's stupid.

When did I say that? I said she's nice.

Nice? But she's been around the block. She's a widow.

I said don't call her that!

It hurts! Then what do I call her?

Go-sun. Ms. Choi Go-sun.

Why should I call her that?

Show some respect for my meal ticket.

Fine, I will. Just don't hit me.

When will you start this Ms. Choi Go-sun project?

Huh? I'll come up with the deposit.

Heo Se-min! What about all the homeless that we fed dumplings to?

I'm thinking.

All you do is think and beat me up.

Did you allow Hun to go to Gwanghwamun with his friends?

Yes, there's a match against Germany.

It's going to be really crowded. You think it'll be okay?

Sure. Boys need toughening up.

Shall I go with him?

We had that talk last night, remember?

Oops! My mistake! I'll just focus on my studies.

Don't worry. He's already been here a few times for dumplings.

Already? That boy is so friendly.

It's in his blood. Like father, like son.

What are you doing, Hun? Hurry up.

You go ahead and eat first.

Okay, Grandma.

There you are.

-Good morning. -Good morning. Go on and eat.

What's going on? Both of you eating breakfast?

Mom said that I need to eat carbs for my brain to work well.

Mom said that I will get taller.

Today they both got up on their own.

How come you're eating porridge?

-His stomach's upset. -Is it indigestion?

No, you know how Mom worries too much.

You said you felt bloated. It's all stress.

Right.

Su-han also likes pine nut porridge.

How is he doing?

-He looked well. -When's he coming?

When the time comes, I guess.

Really, Vice Principal? You sound so relaxed.

That's how I'm going to live my life.

Dad, you look happy.

Really?

You think we'll win today? Germany's a tough team.

But I believe we can.

-Dreams come true! -Let's go! Yokohama, okay?

Let's go to the finals. Go, Korea!

My heart is trembling already.

-Bro! -Yes?

Where will you go for the Germany match? I'm going to Gwanghwamun.

-I'll watch at school. -What about Da-hae?

Not sure.

Jun-su.

Dreams come true!

Hakuna matata!

Da-hae!

Oh, Jun-seong!

Ju Da-hae, you poor girl.

God, please help me.

Honey.

It must've been. Sure, I'll call you right back.

What are you doing? Da-hae is waiting for you.

Give me a minute.

I just got a call that Director Kim's mother-in-law died.

His mother-in-law? Where is the funeral?

Gokseong in Jeolla-do. I should go, right?

Are you coming?

-Coming! -I'll call you.

How people die just like that?

His mother-in-law's funeral?

Korea!

I'm hungry. Let's go to the cafeteria.

It's Jang Guk's treat today.

We made a bet on the Korea versus Spain match.

Jang Guk went for Korea and I went for Spain.

I did everything I can to lose.

-Then I'll go for Korea. -$10 on Germany, okay?

I'll go for Korea, too.

Things are looking good, my friends.

You're early.

Oh, you're late.

I'm here too.

Yes, I see you.

Did you mean it by wanting to making up?

I'm the one that's asking.

Is it still valid?

Let's be friends, Da-hae.

You were right. We were making our friends uncomfortable.

I don't believe it. The high and mighty Ju Da-hae!

Okay!

Mr. Heo must be sick.

I don't think so. He must feel stressed from the pressure.

He was here because he just likes our dumplings.

But you were so hasty. Of course, he doesn't want to come.

He doesn't need to be like that.

A man should be straightforward about saying yes or no.

He can just say he doesn't want to be involved like that.

He's a grown man, isn't he?

Go-sun, people all think differently.

You think like that, but Mr. Heo might think differently.

People are all the same, Mom.

He might think that we've been nice to him so far because of the business.

Fine. When I see him again, I'll tell him to forget about it all.

I don't know if we will see him again.

Shall I call him?

Let it be. If things are meant to be, he'll come.

Don't fret.

Honestly speaking, I don't like him that much.

Why?

I don't like how he's too soft.

But he's a Seoul guy.

My husband and Father were about as reserved as they come.

It's just personality.

Listen to me. Don't call him.

Okay, I got it.

When Guk finishes her exam and chooses her university,

let's move to another place with a good location.

She's going to Seoul National University!

You're being greedy.

She's my kid. I can be a little greedy. She was a top student in Busan.

Sure. Wanting the best for your kid is only natural.

Guk has a lot to live up to.

Of course. People can become whatever they want.

People have the right to dream and go for their dreams.

Hello.

This is the dumpling house.

-Yes. -I was calling because--

I'm out of town.

So you're not sick?

No, I'm not.

It's all good then.

I called because I was worried you might be sick and alone.

And about the franchise business, Mr. Heo.

Yes.

Don't worry about it. I don't want you to stress.

So you can't come to watch the Korea versus Germany match?

You're out of town, right? Drop by when you're back.

Okay.

Bye, then.

Okay.

We should start the Choi Go-sun project.

That widow... right...

If Ms. Choi Go-sun calls us first, we go ahead with the project.

That was our final decision.

Shut up. We never stick to our decisions anyway.

So you don't want to do it? But the widow is all fired up to go.

You're asking for a beating!

Watch what you say.

Oh, so you're Mr. College Graduate!

Oh, you're so refined. But you're a traitor and a jerk.

Do as you please. Even the deposit for this place will run out this month.

We'll be kicked out onto the streets.

My house is out of the question because of my wife.

I don't know what to do so I hope you do.

I'm going, you twerp.

You get the start-up money.

Seven to three.

Fifty, fifty.

Forget it, jerk!

Fine, then. Six to four.

Get it ready.

Okay.

Thank you.

Da-hae's father is in Gokseong, in Jeolla province.

A co-worker's mother-in-law's funeral or something.

You should come on your own. Don't be at home all mopey.

Da-hae's out too, right?

My hair's a mess.

You don't have to look good for my husband.

Just put on a cap. It's the pub near the intersection.

I don't feel comfortable around him.

It's not like he's a stranger.

If you don't come, I'll tell him all about your husband's secret.

If you do, I'll never see you again.

Then come out to zip my mouth.

The kids are all out. We should have fun, too.

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Is she coming?

Korea!

Let do this!

Hurry up! It's getting started!

You too.

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Hello, ma'am.

-Mr. Heo! -That's right, it's me.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to watch the soccer game.

My staff is watching the game together. So I thought I'd send them some snacks.

Is it too late?

No. We have some left and we can steam more.

Then would you please get them ready? He will take them.

Sure. Can you help me, Mom?

Of course.

-I'll be watching the game. -Sure.

-Go on. You should help them. -Yes, sir.

No, no. There's nothing to help. Just watch the game.

Okay.

Yes, sir. Please hold on.

Sir, it's the director.

Is there a problem?

What are you talking about?

Okay. I'll go there myself. Have everyone ready.

I'll drive you, sir.

No, I'll take a cab. You take care of the dumplings.

All right, sir.

Something urgent came up and I have to go.

Don't mind me. He will take care of everything.

Okay. But is everything okay?

Here you go.

The change... Hang on.

It's okay. Please keep the change.

Keep the change? Mr. Heo?

Take care, sir.

What's going on?

We just started construction on a pasta franchise in Myeong-dong.

There must be a problem there.

If the opening gets delayed, it could cause a lot of problems.

Ms. Choi Go...

I mean, ma'am. Could I have a plate of dumplings first?

Sure.

I hope we make it to the finals. Korea!

That's right!

Go inside!

-You made it! -Hello.

I'm so glad you came.

Here. Have a drink.

-Thank you. -Sure.

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

What's to become of him?

Take him.

Mr. Kang. Ham-cho's here.

Ham-cho.

Don't just stand there. Carry him up.

Okay.

Honey.

Honey...

That poor thing.

The referee blows the whistle and...

The legend of Korean soccer ends here.

It's quite disappointing.

Come on. It's okay.

That was so close.

The Red Devils here at the stadium are all very disappointed.

This couple looks like they're from Vietnam.

The wife seems to be so upset over Korea's loss.

No need to worry though. Korea's soccer will go on.

-Hamy?

Who would've guessed, Korea would make it to the semifinals?

Da-hae! Da-dae!

It's okay!

Korea!

Korea!

It's okay! It's okay! It's okay!

Go Korea!

It's okay! It's okay!

-It's okay! -Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Da-hae! Da-dae!

You saw, right?

That was my dad, right?

Do you know who that woman is?

Mom!

Mom!

Hello.

Mom's not home.

Yes.

Hello.

No. It's not!

You saw wrong! It's not!

Go. I'm home now.

Let's all go to your house.

No, it's okay.

You should go. Stay for a bit.

Yes, he can go home. Let me come for some coffee.

I want to be alone.

Okay.

I'll go then.

Her husband having an affair was aired on national TV.

Viewer rating would've been about 90%.

Everyone would've seen it, except those in a coma.

What is he going to do?

What about Yeong-hui?

It was so weird to see someone you know on TV.

It was, wasn't it? That Vietnamese girl was pretty, right?

Is that all women think about? Even in situations like this?

They say if you look pretty on TV then you're really pretty.

Most people look bloated and ugly.

Let's just go home.

Da-hae...

Da-hae?

Is it Hamy?

Is it Hamy that dad is having an affair with?

Da-hae!

Mom.

Where are you?

Da-hae! Ju Da-hae!

Da-hae, pick up...

My heart feels like it's going to burst.

Hello, Yeong-hui.

Da-hae found out everything.

What?

Her bag is here at home but she's gone.

Beom-suk, where is my girl? Please find her for me.

Jun-su, Da-hae is gone.

-Where are you going? -To find Da-hae.

I'll call you back.

-Jun-su. -Yes.

Actually today--

I know everything. She saw it at school.

What are we going to do?

Do you know where she might be?

No, but I'll call our friends and look for her.

Don't forget that this is a sensitive matter.

-I'll get going. -Okay.

-Call us when you find her. -Okay.

What are we going to do?

Da-hae, Da-hae! Da-hae...

Da-hae...

Da-hae!

Hello?

What? Da-hae?

What's wrong? Oh, okay.

-Get off, Jang Guk. -Why?

I'll tell you after we get off. Come on and get off!

Come on!

Sir! Can you stop the bus please?

Beom-suk?

Yes. Jun-su went to find her with some friends.

But she could be anywhere.

Stay calm and listen to me. Da-hae...

She saw it?

Yes, at school. Jun-su did too. He knew what was going on right away.

What am I going to do?

Can you think of where she might have gone?

I hope she didn't go to meet that jerk.

Shouldn't you call Da-hae's dad to tell him?

Don't even call him that!

He doesn't deserve to be called her father.

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

Hello? Jung-sik, it's me.

Did you see it too?

What should I do with myself?

It was broadcast all over Korea. Da-hae's mom would've seen it too, right?

Jung-sik, what should I do about work? What?

Yes, I'm sorry.

Korea!

Okay. I'll take time for self-reflection.

If Yeong-hui, I mean if Da-hae's mom calls you,

then please speak on my behalf.

Yes, I don't know what to say.

I'm so sorry, Jung-sik.

Okay.

What should I do?

Korea!

Korea!

-Mu-cheol! -What happened?

I'll tell you later. Let's find Da-hae first.

You go home, Guk. We'll look for her.

No, I want to look for her too.

I'll look around the academy building. You look around the school.

-Okay. -Take good care of Guk, Mu-cheol.

Okay. See you soon.

-Bye. -Okay.

This way.

Get your dumplings! Dumplings!

Write just the first six digits of your social security number.

Enjoy the food!

Help yourselves!

Don't forget to come to the place on the date written there.

Today it's only dumplings. But we'll give you cash on that day.

Can I have one more?

She's not at school.

-She wasn't around the academy building. -What now?

It's getting late. You should go home, Jang Guk.

Mu-cheol, can you see her home?

Okay, how about you?

Don't worry about me.

-Call me if something comes up. -Okay.

-Bye. -Okay.

Let's go. I'll walk you home.

I can walk home by myself.

I'm Jun-su's assistant. I do whatever he says, didn't you know?

-Are you still peeved about that? -Peeved? What's that?

-Are you still holding a grudge? -Of course.

A boy shouldn't be so petty. I told you I'm sorry.

Who says boys have to be generous all the time?

-Are you throwing a tantrum? -What? A tantrum?

You know you're weird, right?

You can completely knock down a person in an instant.

-What do you mean? -Like you did before.

-Like when? -Like you did then.

Be specific. How am I supposed to know what you're talking about?

-Forget it. -Wait up.

Da-hae.

Da-dae, where are you?

She was staying here but she checked out a while ago.

Don't worry. She must've gone out to get some air.

She found out that Hamy was the girl her dad was seeing.

She must've felt so betrayed.

Does Da-hae know her well?

We met her in Vietnam when she was in the ninth grade.

She's an only child, so she thought of her as her own sister.

Even when she came back to Korea, they kept in touch.

How could I have not thought of Da-hae?

She's going be okay. She's a rational girl.

Da-hae.

Is that you, Da-hae?

Mom.

Where are you?

-Do you know where Hamy is? -What?

She's already checked out of her hotel.

Are you at Platz Hotel?

Yes.

Yes, Mom.

Yes. Platz Hotel?

Okay.

No, it's not far. I'll catch a cab there.

Let's talk when you get home. It's late.

Jun-su will come to get you.

We were all so worried that something happened to you.

Come home with Jun-su. Okay?

Okay.

Sit down.

Jun-su went to get her.

She said she'd come home with him.

Did she meet the Vietnamese girl?

She checked out already.

He must've hidden her somewhere. He's not a fool.

Ju Cheol-su! I want to kill him!

That bastard...

Just think of Da-hae for now.

Let's calm her first, then we'll think of what to do next.

Yes, Honey. We found her.

Jun-su is going to bring her home. We'll go home together.

Okay.

If anything happens to my baby,

I'm going to chew him up into pieces!

Mu-cheol.

-Do you know my house? -I was here to bring you your phone.

But I don't recall telling you where I live.

Jun-su told me.

He did what?

You heard me.

I mean why did he tell you where I lived?

-So that I could bring you your phone. -You could give me more details!

Your phone was at Jun-su's house, right?

So?

He came to me so that I could give it to you.

-But you were alone when you came. -He left.

-Why? -I don't know.

Come on, Mu-cheol!

Ask him yourself. You're home now. See you!

-Okay. Thanks, Mu-cheol. -Sure.

Jun-su.

I looked for you everywhere.

Ju Da-hae...

I was so worried about you.

12 YEARS PROMISE

Everyone saw him at the soccer game cheering with a young girl by his side.

Oh, my goodness!

Did you go home?

No.

Are you okay? Jun-su is only paying attention to Da-hae.

You said they've been a couple since kindergarten.

Goals still go in, even if there's a goalkeeper

-Did Guk get home okay? -Did Jun-su get home okay?

What are you two doing? Don't ask me. Just talk to each other

"Please take care of Da-hae!"

What does he mean?

Doesn't this sound like a suicide note?

Hey!
