Wait, why is it so quiet?

Where is everyone?

Da Yun's mom is currently attending an association activity.

Yeol son-in-law

because it's Christmas, he has to attend a tribute at the Centre.

And also, Hui Bong isn't back yet.

Da Yun is studying outside.

Mak Bong too, since this morning...

Anyway, everyone's outside.

It's Christmas.

Let's not stay here like this.

Let's go out, eat some delicious food and go shopping.

It's expensive everywhere right now.

If we eat outside, I'll get indigestion.

This is such a good day,

do we just sit at home like this?

So...

I bought red beans, shall I cook red bean porridge?

Red bean porridge?

Awesome!

Christmas. The day when Jesus Christ was born.

A day when the world is filled with love.

Like the Christmas movie, it is a romantic day.

It's a day worth looking forward to.

Thinking about that happy day.

However, that doesn't mean everyone is happy just because it's Christmas.

Sorry, how much money will that--

An unsuccessful businessman.

Aren't you going, Sir?

Yes, let's go.

Even on Christmas, he needs to drive the taxi.

Mom, you're like this everyday. That's why...

Forget it.

Fighting with mom on Christmas eve.

A high school student who left home.

Forget it, I won't return home.

Who cares if I die? It has nothing to do with you.

Just like prior to opening a gift, it's full of expectation.

But sometimes Christmas can also be grim because of things.

It was a lot of fun.

How about some coffee?

Ji Yun, let's go. You must be tired.

I'll take you.

Then, shall we pass by the beauty clinic?

I have to get something.

Okay, let's go.

See you.

What?

Gift.

I haven't prepared it yet.

And also, who would have known this would happen between us?

What happened between us?

Do I have to say it?

Nuna, do you need to use the bathroom?

Mak Bong, what are you doing there?

I'm in pain.

Pain?

Did you hurt yourself?

No, I wasn't injured but...

There's a girl called Pil Na who I really like.

She's changing schools.

Huh? Suddenly?

Yes, suddenly.

She's going back to her hometown. I might never see her again.

Yeol Mak Bong, don't be too depressed.

Even if it's not her...

Another love will come?

Because you're still young.

You really don't understand love.

What?

The cocoa's really bitter.

I'm going.

Mak Bong.

When is your friend leaving?

U Ji Yun.

You're now independent, but still... let's reconcile...

This is a little stern.

Ji Yun.

This is too over the top.

Chairman.

Al.

Why are you here today?

I have something to do for a little while.

But Chairman, why...?

I have some urgent matters to settle.

The association has an activity, I just passed by for a moment.

If it's urgent, do you want me to help you with it?

There's no need.

Oh, no. Look at the time.

I have to leave.

Goodbye.

The Chairman was inside.

Oh?

Good thing you went in on my behalf.

I had a gut feeling.

Don't you want to reconcile with your mother?

Reconcile?

It's Christmas today.

It's a day for forgiveness and reconciliation.

There is no need.

I didn't move out because of emotions.

Mom doesn't understand me too.

I don't think reconciliation will happen anytime soon.

Perhaps, the Chairman wants to reconcile.

Mom?

Stop it!

Do you want to kill me?

What's wrong?

What do you mean why? Are you even singing a song?

It's pretty good.

I practised for a month.

You don't even know how tone deaf you are.

Is it that bad?

Why did you practise that for a month?

Of course, it's because of Baby Choux.

I want to impress her today.

If you sing that song, you'll only get a scolding.

Is it that bad?

It's not because of that. It's more like asking for a fight.

Then, you better do the singing.

Me?

No way. I can't play the guitar.

It's your event, you take care of it.

I have other plans. You just sing on the side.

No.

U Bong, please help me.

Please... I'll give you rice cake.

Please help me.

Okay, okay... I'll help you.

These red beads are big.

There was a sale on it a few days ago, I bought it immediately.

I like red beans. The red bean porridge will surely taste great.

The water's boiling.

Hello. Goodness, it's been a while.

Today?

No, mmmm. Fine, then.

How did you get this number?

Oh, yes. Yes, yes. Okay.

Yeol Mak Bong... you look really cool.

You even prepared flowers?

This flower is the only thing I can give her.

What? It looks really cool.

Let's go.

Did you get her address from the teacher?

Yes, I'll tell you along the way.

But ajussi, why are you going?

Hey! That...

I have a car, don't I?

Hurry, get in.

Al, it's already time.

I'm heading off right now.

I need to do something at the beauty clinic.

Do you want to come here?

I don't feel comfortable going there.

It's Christmas today so nobody's around.

Don't leave at 3 o'clock. Just come to the shop at 4 o'clock.

4 o'clock?

Why is this song so difficult?

I can't do it.

U Bong, you can do it.

Aren't you smarter than me?

This won't do. I need to write this in Korean then memorize it.

So there's such a way.

You're really a genius.

Not really.

Isn't that plagiarizing?

Is that so?

Then what idea should I come up with?

Just copy that.

Yes, yes.

Is there a letter 'T' in Christmas?

Isn't there?

Idiot. Will that appear in the movie?

And besides, it's an English movie. No one would notice the 'T'.

Then, do I include the 'T' or not?

It'll be embarrassing if I make a mistake.

Then, write X-mas.

Yes, X-mas... Why must it be X-mas?

It's Christmas.

I don't know. Anyways, there are too many confused people.

So they wrote it like that.

Truly, Jesus Christ is a genius.

You look really pretty.

Really?

What kind of party is it, wearing such a nice outfit.

A friend from my movie days.

Very successful people.

The last time I met her,

she was decked out in prestigious brands.

I need to wear something nice too.

What do you think?

Like a rich madam.

Is that so?

Mrs. Gong.

Don't just stay at home, do something.

I like staying at home.

It will look better if you wear that hairpin.

This?

Here? Like this?

How is it? Pretty?

Yes, pretty.

Fighting!

I really don't have money now. Just wait for a little while.

I am Pil Na's friend, Mak Bong.

Oh, Pil Na.

She went to her grandma's house with her mom, don't you know?

I heard but before she leaves--

She already left.

Mak Bong.

Let's go and eat something delicious.

That guy who came out from Pil Na's house, is he in debt?

This is why she's changing school all of a sudden.

Mak Bong.

Why are you this listless?

It's not the end yet.

Pil Na's father said they just left, he said they're taking a taxi.

They might still be waiting nearby.

Ajussi.

What are you doing? Get in the car. Let's go.

Let's go.

Once Da Yun comes... Cue!

Okay, once that part is over,

I start.

Today is Christmas.

Christmas is a time for honesty.

Why aren't you singing?

I was about to.

Anyway... This is the most important part.

To me, you are...

At this time, Da Yun's dimples will appear and she'll start to smile.

Smile. That's right.

Although, my heart's tired, I will still love you.

Until you become like this.

At this part, Da Yun will surely burst into laughter.

Then I will come in stronger.

Baby choux, Cha Seo Jun...

likes you. I like you very much.

It's perfect, seriously.

Aren't you going to memorize quickly?

I am. It's too difficult.

I want to kiss too just like in the movies.

I'm heading off now.

I'll be off soon.

What are you doing?

What else? Peeling garlic.

That's so many. It's a rest day, go and rest.

I am resting.

It's not really tiring.

Everyone is out.

It's not even boring at all. It's great.

Aren't you leaving yet?

Won't you be the last to arrive?

Ok, I know.

I'm leaving then.

Mom.

Ji Yun.

Today is a rest day. Why... ?

Oh, Al said he has something to say for a moment.

It's good that you're here. Wait a monent.

Are you here to see Al?

Are you really in a relationship with Al?

Are you dating on Christmas?

Al is really a nice person.

I know that too.

But...

I hope you stay out of my business.

Okay. Sure, I will.

When you see Al, tell him this...

Don't do this.

It's best if he stays out of my business.

Al, what was that?

When did I say I want to reconcile with mom?

I don't get along with her.

Is that so? Sorry.

Because it's Christmas.

I'm almost there. Just wait for a little while.

Ji Yun.

I'm very late. I had to get something.

Take this.

Thank you.

I'll open it.

Wow, it's pretty.

While looking at this pretty thing, think about your old hometown.

Don't go anywhere.

I have something to give you too.

Hang on.

Here.

Have a look.

Wow. What's this? What about this?

I want... to start travelling with Ji Yun.

Giving shoes in Korea, means the other party will run away.

Is that so? Then give that back to me.

No, you already gave it to me.

You said you'll run away. Give that back.

No.

And also, this.

What is this?

The card Chairman wrote for Ji Yun.

Al, I know your good intentions but mom...

U Ji Yun, it's nice to live on your own.

Al...

Not this one. Just one.

In return, I'll do whatever you want to do today.

Ji Yun.

Al, stop it.

Sorry. I don't have anything to say about my character but...

I... I... I... I love you.

It's too over the top.

Ji Yun, sorry.

I don't have anything to say about my character but I love you.

This is the Chairman's...

No, your mother's heart.

She threw it away because she felt it was too embarrassing.

Look at this. These are all--

the unfinished letters she threw away.

Love... Love... Love... and this one, love.

Ajussi, over there. Over there, over there.

Why now of all times?

Mak Bong.

Flower...

Pil Na.

It's me, Mak Bong!

Mak Bong.

The taxi stopped.

Pil Na.

Yeol Mak Bong, why are you here?

Well... this.

Take care.

We must meet again next time.

Pil Na, what are you doing?

You need to hurry up. otherwise, we have to get off the car.

Even if you change schools,

I will always like you.

I have no idea if you'll hate it,

but it's my choice to like you.

Pil Na, what are you doing?

Sorry, Mom is asking me to hurry up.

See you next time.

Aren't we going yet?

Yes.

Did you forget something?

It's not like that.

Are you still peeling garlic?

I'll be done in a bit.

There's still nobody home yet?

Everyone's especially late.

But, why?

No, don't just keep peeling garlic like that.

Do something else.

Aside from peeling garlic,

do something livelier.

Something like that.

I find this interesting.

I'm not bored at all. I feel great.

Fine. Seriously.

Why isn't there anybody home yet?

What nice place are you headed to?

To meet my friend.

It's nice to have friends.

I wish my mom would go out and meet her friends as well.

Meet her friends and scold her useless children.

It's good to let off some steam sometimes.

What are friends for.

Yes, right.

But despite asking her to go there , she'd rather stay at home everyday.

Like this kind of rest day, she can't even rest.

She's alone at home everyday.

Is she really an important friend?

What?

It feels like you're close to that friend.

Meeting that friend on a day like today.

Yes, right.

Hey! How could you let that slip?

I'm too nervous.

When is Da Yun coming?

She's here. She's here.

What's going on?

I still have something important to do.

This is more important. Have a look.

-=Today is Christmas.=-

-=To me, you are...=-

Is that me?

-=Christmas is a time for honesty.=-

What are you doing?

You want to die?

-=Like you. I like you a lot.=-

Da Yun... This, this...

This wasn't supposed to be like that.

Did you disturb my studies just to do this?

Da Yun.

What's so funny?

What's this? It's because of you.

Why is it because of me?

You were the one who messed that up.

You kept singing strange songs from the very beginning.

This is why this happened.

I don't have my watch...

I'll beat you up like this.

Jeez. So destitute.

You didn't go there?

Didn't you cook red bean porridge?

I really wanted to eat that so I came back.

It's really strange today... I feel like eating red bean porridge.

Can you make red bean porridge for me?

Of course! It's already prepared.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

You were really cool today.

Nuna, aren't you going in?

Yes, I'm going in.

But I have this sudden urge to drink coffee.

Mak Bong, you go ahead. Go in.

You really suck at lying.

Here, gift.

This?

It can't be helped.

Christmas is over.

I'll buy you a nice gift tomorrow instead.

I'll give you a better one next time.

Then, the next, next time will even be better?

Next, next, next...

Don't know, don't know. I'm not listening.

Don't know...

Next time.

Mom.

Ji Yun.

I got mad at you and acted like a child.

It's not like that at all.

I understand why you don't trust me.

I depend on you everyday.

If not, I depend on other people. I'm already this old.

So... This time I really want to find what I want.

Find out the limits of my capabilities.

I know. Mom knows that too.

Mom.

So, I want you to come home.

No matter what happens, I want to help you.

How to lighten your burden.

Until you find what it is that you want to do.

Let's go in.

See who's back.

Nuna.

Ji Yun.

Everyone's well.

Not everyone is happy just because it's Christmas.

During those times, family is our strength.

Even if our family might restrict us

and exhaust us but...

We already understand.

Dad.

We love our family.

Be with your families today.

Because it's Christmas.

Just in case you're hesitating,

think about these people today.

Pay attention to other people.

Then you'll get the answer.

How much you love your family

is how much your family loves you.

You will understand then.

Why, you ask?

People with you or strangers beside you today,

If you know,

whether you're someone's mom, dad,

son, daughter, nuna, eonni, younger siblings.

The fact is we are somebody's family.

-=Ladies and Gentlemen, have a merry Christmas everyone.=-
