I feel funny writing a letter to you like this.
But I wanted to tell you that my life, too,
became beautiful because you're in it.
I also want to tell you I'm happy beyond words
because I can see you whenever I want to.
And I want to tell you I'll never be separated from you.
And now I must return to being your sister.
And...
Everything sounds so simple in writing.
Brother, I love you.
With the same words and a different meaning.
And that's why I'm happy.
Eun-suh.
What did you buy so much of? It must be heavy.
It's been a long time.
You came out very pretty.
Don't throw it away, okay?
Shall I stick one on my wallet? Wait.
You don't have Yumi's picture.
That...
Just keep it until you put on one of Yumi's pictures
and then put my picture next to it.
That sounds like you won't stick on my picture either.
You got me.
You want to raise pets and grow plants?
That's your dream?
Goldfish are good too.
You have no idea how horrible I am.
I never keep anything alive next to me.
Who told you to grow them?
I'm only saying I'd marry someone like that.
Is that right? Good luck to you.
Like heck you will.
I spent too much money.
What is it? Your ledger?
You don't have money?
Then should I... Don't say that.
I'm sorry.
You're putting my hard learned technique to shame.
What are you painting? No, you can't.
You can't.
I can't?
What's with everyone?
Everyone?
Brother won't let me see his either.
Joon-suh?
Maybe he's drawing something he doesn't want you to see.
Like his secret love.
Excuse me.
Let's get married.
Let's get married, Choi Eun-suh.
Hello?
Are you waiting for someone?
I called too late, didn't I?
No, I was going to call you too.
Why? Is something wrong?
I want to make kimchi stew,
but I don't know when to put the kimchi in.
Do you want me to write it down for you?
It's all right.
But what's this about kimchi stew?
I don't have a class tomorrow so I figured I'd go hiking.
Remember that cabin we used to use a lot?
Really?
With Yumi?
No. Alone.
You want to come with me?
- Yumi... - Tae-suhk...
Let's get married.
Marry me.
Mom's asking me if we've set the date yet.
What do I tell her?
You want to go?
Yes.
When we get married we won't be able to go.
And it's just for a day.
Yes.
What's wrong with a brother and sister taking a trip?
Stay home today.
Why? Are you going somewhere?
Seung-taek came from Seoul.
Remember, he used to study with me in the States.
Yes.
I'll call you when I get back.
Yoon Joon-suh...
You have a friend visiting?
You're going home?
What time is it now?
Wait, I'll drive you.
No.
Kang-hee is going with me.
You don't have to drive us.
I'll just see Mom and Dad and come right back.
You're lying.
You look like you've been caught lying.
I'm just kidding.
Have a good trip.
Say hello to them for me.
All right.
Bring me back some squid.
What?
All right.
You have to saute kimchi first before you put in it, right?
That's right.
You caught me.
You said you don't know how to make kimchi stew.
You lied?
I...
It's embarrassing to say I called because I missed you.
I'm hungry. Let's hurry.
It's almost ready.
What the...
It's raining.
Why the sudden rain?
He should hang his clothes.
Joon-suh? You're back early.
Tae-suhk.
Joon-suh's not here?
He went to meet his friend.
What brings you here? Eun-suh is not with you?
She left me and went to have fun with her friend.
I guess we're in the same boat.
Have dinner with me.
It's raining hard.
I know.
Hello?
Who is this? Yes, the management office.
What?
When will it reopen?
All right.
What? Bad news.
We can't go back tonight.
Then...
We might have to sleep over.
Here... Just the two of us?
I lied.
I didn't tell Tae-suhk I was going on a trip with you.
Was I wrong? No.
I lied, too.
It just came out.
He's late.
He is.
I guess her mother and father are asking her to stay.
Mother and father?
Joon-suh's mother and father?
They're in Seoul now.
Did Eun-suh...
I'm sure there is an explanation.
I guess she missed them.
Eun-suh?
Where are you?
I'm at home.
Where are you?
Mom and Dad are telling me to stay since it's raining a lot.
I'll stay here tonight.
You're sleeping over?
Really?
I see.
Hello?
Joon-suh.
All right.
You'll come back early tomorrow, right?
You'll be sleeping over?
I see.
I see...
You'll be sleeping over...
You're sleeping over.
It reminds me of the old days.
I used to go to your room and cry when I had nightmares.
Then I'd sleep on your bed and you'd sleep on the floor.
You remember that?
I remember everything now.
Your cute sister, Yoon Eun-suh.
I'll always be your cute sister, right?
Yes.
It's better we're brother and sister.
We'll be brother and sister until we die.
You're right.
We'll be brother and sister until we die.
But what if I die first?
Then who'll take care of you?
No.
I'm going to die first.
You can't die before me, all right?
You can't.
I...
I don't want to lose you again.
I don't want to lose you so many times in one lifetime.
I'm going to die first.
All right.
I'll stay by your side then.
I'll hold your hand and smile.
I won't let you go alone.
I'll go with you.
Don't worry.
All right.
You promised.
Promise.
When did you find out?
It hasn't been long.
I found out some time ago.
It was really difficult for me.
Are they serious?
Do you believe in destiny?
No.
I only believe in myself.
I never believed in destiny, but...
Lately, I've been thinking.
Maybe there is such a thing as fate.
Maybe we're going against fate.
Against Joon-suh and Eun-suh's destiny...
So what? She's my destiny.
Mine is stronger. I'll show them mine is stronger.
Shin Yumi, don't be weak.
You have to marry Joon-suh and be happy.
I won't be weak either.
Bye.
Hi.
When did you come?
A little while ago.
You must've had drinks with your friend.
I made some porridge.
Did you have a good trip?
Yes, I did.
Hi.
I came early, didn't I? Here.
You wanted it.
Wait for me, Eun-suh.
What's that?
Oh, well. This plant is dying.
I am gonna nurse it in my room, and bring it back later.
I don't understand you sometimes.
That is weird.
You don't like it, sir
No way. What if it dies. That hurts my heart.
Oh, that's why you said so.
Yo, you don't have any idea how terrible I am.
I will never sleep with any living creature.
How come? Anybody else don't like raise a plant like this.
He must have an attitude, too.
Or, his life is so lonely so that he is afraid to open his mind.
Director Han?
Yeah, it must be tough.
He is far more fragile.
Don't break his hurt, please.
I am very strong.
Maybe...
If it dies or whatever comes, don't be sad.
I've loved it until then.
This flower also has feeling for it.
I wanna become a tree if I reborn.
So I can stay next to the only person I love.
Even if he may not notice me,
Something like that... I could at least watch him.
Is that Mr. Tae-suhk Han?
Execuse me?
No, right?
You don't have to cry when you mention Director Han
What are you doing tomorrow afternoon? You want to come to our place?
It's him. That's it.
Tae-suhk, I think we need more beer.
Will you get some more? All right.
Who dropped his wallet here?
Is it Joon-suh's?
Tae-suhk, aren't you drinking too much?
Not even. I'm feeling great.
This is great.
Let me have another one.
Tae-suhk.
Eun-suh...
Let's drink, everybody.
This is important.
We're drinking to...
To our wedding announcement.
Tae-suhk.
That's right.
I have to plant a tree if I want to marry you.
What's this about a wedding and a tree?
Eun-suh said she wants to be reborn as a tree.
That's interesting. A tree.
I see...
Eun-suh said that when she was little.
She did?
We have so many secrets.
So many secrets. Don't we?
That's enough, Tae-suhk.
What did I do?
I have nothing on my conscience.
I have no secrets. Not even one.
Eun-suh, what about you?
Do you have any secrets?
Stop it! Don't you raise your voice at me!
That's enough.
I don't think secrets are all bad.
I'm happy I have a secret.
It's something you keep in your heart.
I feel rich for having one.
Is that bad?
Rich?
Rich...
Tae-suhk, what's wrong?
Should I tell you that secret?
Your secret is that you love your brother.
Han Tae-suhk!
You want me to say it again?
Choi Eun-suh...
...loves Yoon Joon-suh.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I'll kill you if that's the only way I can get Eun-suh.
Tae-suhk.
This is my way of loving Eun-suh.
What are you?
Did you call for me?
I'll clean up.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, Tae-suhk.
I...
I thought everything would work out.
It's my fault.
It was so difficult... I used you.
It's my fault.
I didn't want to hurt you.
Then don't hurt me.
Tae-suhk...
I...
I don't care if you love Joon-suh.
I don't care if you rip up my heart like you're doing now.
Anything is fine as long as I have you.
As long as I have you...
Excuse me.
Yes, what would you like?
Are you Eun-suh's mother?
I'm Han Tae-suhk.
Mom.
You jerk, you're the one that took off with Eun-suh before.
You jerk...
Mother, may I come in? I have something to tell you.
Yes, please come in.
Look, why are you doing this?
I'm dating Eun-suh.
I have something to tell you regarding...
What have you done?
What did you do to my sister?
So what if you're a director of the hotel?
You're trying to get out of a jam scot-free?
So what if you have some money?
You think a couple bucks will solve everything?
Get out.
Mom, he must've done something to Eun-suh.
It's not like that.
I came to tell you I want to marry Eun-suh.
I want to marry her.
Give me your blessing. I'll make her happy.
You want to marry Eun-suh?
Yes.
Really?
Have you talked this over with Eun-suh?
What's there to talk about? He wants to marry her.
Please, take good care of her.
Who did you just meet?
Say that again
You know it
I went to Eun-Suh's house just now
I never thought that
I would feel sad
I lived with them in the past
Really?
I see
No matter what
I must get married
You go back and ask your parents
I'll pay them a visit
Han Tae-Suhk
Tae-Suhk
Why you treat me like this?
Did I say something that I shouldn't?
Don't make trouble
You should know my attitude. If you bring me trouble, it won't be good to you
Now I...
...only love Eun-Suh
Excuse me
Did you meet Shin-ae?
I'm sorry.
I met her without your approval.
I'm sorry.
I met with Eun-suh, too.
I'm sorry.
The reason I'm here today is...
Someone asked for Eun-suh's hand.
Tae-suhk?
Pardon?
You knew.
Yes, he's my son's friend.
That's wonderful.
How is he?
Is he a good person?
He wants to marry Eun-suh.
Would you approve of him?
Eun-suh...
She has come of age already.
She has.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't do anything for her.
I'm the lunatic.
I should've sent her with you.
I couldn't even give her a decent education.
No.
You raised her to be a fine lady.
Thank you for raising her so well.
It's too late, but...
Won't you take Eun-suh back?
Pardon?
It's her luck such a fine young man wants to marry her.
But what would his family say when they find out about me
and her thug of a brother?
I don't think Eun-suh was meant to be my daughter.
It was so overwhelming to raise her.
I kept telling myself to send her back to you, but...
Please help her so she can marry the man she's meant for.
If you adopt her...
They won't disapprove of her if she's your daughter...
Please.
Do you mean it?
Do you really mean it?
I beg you.
Please take good care of Eun-suh.
Please.
What are you doing?
Why are you sending Eun-suh to our house?
Why aren't you saying anything?
What do you have up your sleeve?
You want it?
Who says I want this stupid cola?
Don't you remember?
When you were little, you nagged me buy you cola
and when I didn't, you stole it.
What?
What are you saying?
I spanked you, but I felt bad.
I couldn't even buy you a soda pop
and I made my only daughter a thief.
But what could I do?
It was your luck you grew up with a poor mother.
And it was also Eun-suh's bad luck to be switched back
and end up with me. I couldn't even send her to school.
So?
You want me to just sit and let Eun-suh come back to our house?
It's no one's fault you and Eun-suh were switched.
It's just your fate.
Think of Eun-suh as your sister and...
I can't.
No, I won't.
Why should I?
I'm the rich girl.
Why should I let her take away the man I love?
Why does she take everything from me?
They're mine.
They're all mine.
No, that's not true.
You used to blame me for giving you that ragged slip,
but that was the best I could afford.
I dressed you in the best clothes I could afford.
They weren't as nice as Eun-suh's,
but they were the best I could afford.
Put everything behind you and make up with Eun-suh.
Make up with her.
No.
No!
Shin-ae! Shin-ae...
Joon-suh will be coming back from school soon.
You're his sister, aren't you?
Would you like some tea?
I'm fine.
And now I must return to being your sister.
Brother, I love you.
What is it?
They called Eun-suh and Tae-suhk over too.
Really?
Let's tell them about our wedding plans today.
Will you get out first?
Will you open the trunk?
Marry me.
I'll do anything for you.
You will all be our children now.
We called you here today because...
Honey...
Eun-suh.
My daughter, Eun-suh...
Joon-suh, Shin-ae.
What is it?
We're going to adopt Eun-suh.
Eun-suh will really be our daughter now.
No, she can't. You can't adopt her.
Do you know what's going on between Eun-suh and Brother?
They're in love. They love each other.
What are you talking about?
What are you saying?
Who's in...
What are you saying?
Read this!
Joon-suh, you...
You...
Dad, no.
It's not Brother's fault.
I loved him. Not Joon-suh.
Joon-suh.
What's going on?
Joon-suh.
Is this true?
Is it true?
What are you saying?
