I keep going to your school.
You know how worried I am when it's locked?
I waited for 2 hours outside your house.
I kept fretting over it.
Did I make trouble with your father?
So much trouble that you couldn't even step outside?
I'm...
Hyongi.
Do you care for me?
Huh?
Do you...care for...me?
Um...
- No? - Huh?
If not, knock it off.
This is why my father gets the wrong idea.
I'm just worried about you.
Why? What do you care?
This all started cause of me.
That's why he got the wrong idea.
So you tell me to meet you outside my house?
We're not that close.
We met through our kids.
We happen to be neighbors.
- That's it. - Yeah.
I was out of line. Sorry.
But I'm...
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
Rain blossoms in the night...
He's been drinking.
Something happened today.
The lanterns are...
Dad. No snacks?
It will hurt your stomach.
Let it.
Hang on.
Sitting together, looking in...
Dad, Mom will wake up.
Let her. Parting is such...
Mother.
What now?
I can't sing in my own house?
I'm the head of this house.
When did you get in?
Just now.
- Dinner? - Not yet.
Go get cleaned up.
Ma'am.
You've had enough. You started before you got home.
Get some sleep.
I can't sleep.
You're dead drunk. Why can't you?
I'm not drunk. I wish I were.
Now you're yelling?
Sure am. I was mortified today thanks to you.
Thanks to me?
You did it to yourself.
How did you know?
I have my ways.
Jo told you?
I have enough trouble with Seungi.
Just go to bed.
Fine.
You forget I have eyes in the back of my head?
Hm? Oh.
Where were you?
Never mind. It doesn't matter.
Dad went looking for you.
Father?
Yeah. Just say you were on the way back from the school.
You get me?
Songhi.
Relax. Even if you met your dentist friend, I never heard nothin'.
Actually...
Father, I'm home.
You're late.
Yes.
I was talking with one of the parents.
A parent? So you just left the school?
No. We met somewhere.
Why when you have a perfectly good school?
They bought me dinner.
Why did they do that?
So she's favor their kids, of course.
You never have before.
You kidding? Shows what you know.
Am I right or am I right?
Sure. Sometimes.
See?
He's getting worse and worse.
Just bring it out in the open.
What?
Seeing the dentist.
Songhi.
Go see her.
Hm?
Mirim's shop. You should stop in.
Oh, right, sure.
Mingi called earlier.
He's going off to write.
Something bothering you?
Hm? No.
You're lost in thought.
Not really.
Have you heard from Mingi?
He has to leave for work. He may not have had time to call.
Like talking to a brick wall.
I just said that.
Oh, uh-huh...
Why he needs to leave a perfectly good studio...
Hello?
Anyone?
Hello?
No one?
ARGH!
Istanbul nights and your eyes... your eyes...
AAARGH!
Writer's block, a concrete wall of reinforced steel.
Dorkmeister..!
Who are you?
- Aren't you a bit young..? - Who are you?
Is an adult here?
What adult?
The landlord.
What's it to you?
I need a room.
I'm the landlord. No vacancies. Go way.
Jin.
Are you asleep?
No, come in.
What's that?
I'm sleeping with you tonight.
You're what?
Like this.
Next to my darling.
What is this?
Can't you tell?
So nice.
Go on.
Jin.
We're not married yet.
So what?
What is it with you?
What is it with YOU?
I can't even sleep with you?
No.
Why? Why not exactly?
That's not it.
I'm scared to sleep alone, I couldn't sleep.
I wanted to be with you.
I sleep better if I'm with you.
That's it, that's all.
Why push me away?
Am I so repulsive?
Fine.
I'll go.
Happy now?
S-Sinyong... Sinyong...
Why spring it on him like this?
You think you live alone?
Carrying on like this at night?
I'm sorry.
Go on.
Sinyong.
Why chase after her?
Let's move up the wedding.
Mom.
I'm booking the hall tomorrow.
Hyongi.
Do you care for me?
Do you...care for...me?
Hyongi. Do you care for me?
Of course not. I know that much.
Still...
I don't know. Do you know why I'm acting like this?
Tell me if you do.
I'm sorry, darling... so, so sorry...
Your mom can hear a ghost's footsteps.
Rice wine? No glasses or nothin'?
With Mom around I'm lucky to get this.
Excuses, excuses.
Drinking out of old fart bowls.
Then you go get it.
. . . little . . .
Pour already.
This and this and this!
Why hit me?
You can't do anything right. Some ally you are.
That's why I offered to get the wine.
Cause I'm so pathetic, drinking all alone?
I'm worse off than you.
You dug your own grave.
True.
Huh?
Dad.
What?
You see me as a person, don't you?
What kind of talk is that? What, are you an animal?
Mirim thinks so.
Yeah, well...
Your mother thinks the same of me.
That's how it is.
Here.
One shot.
That's it.
So there's really no chance for you and Mirim?
Even if I wanted to, she wouldn't have me.
But suppose she did?
No.
I've hurt her too much. It's all over.
It's time you straightened yourself out.
I want to.
But I can't. I'll always be a player.
Rotten little... You like the ladies that much?
There's lots of stuff I like more.
But I can't seem to get away from the girls.
Huh?
It's the same with golf.
No matter how I try, I can't seem to do my own thing.
In your EYES... In YOUR eyes...
Ugh, suffering for art is like going through labor.
Wha...?
Him again.
He's, like, ancient.
Not that he's half-bad.
You slept here?
What are you doing here?
You're not old enough to take a trip alone.
What's the story?
Your girl chuck you out?
You have a fight?
How old are you?
What do you care?
What are you doing?
$30 a day. Cash in advance.
Well? Drive already.
Where?
To the inn. C'mon, clocks-a-tickin'.
Drive.
I want a detailed schedule of your lessons, start to finish.
Go back to work.
Mom.
Knock it off.
Thank you, she-she, gracious, danke schoen, merci beaucoup.
Whoa, check you out.
Aram, watch the slang.
Let me go to.
Why? You're not in prison.
My salary.
Would you like more?
No, thank you.
Mom.
Please.
(Traitor.)
Mom.
What now? Go to work.
Yeah, I've gotta.
But, um, there's no bus from here.
Too far to walk.
You want a car?
That's my mom. Nothin' gets past you.
And you'll help Mirim and look after Boram on your days off?
We're divorced.
My pastel green jacket at the cleaners?
It came back yesterday.
Mom, I understand, but...
It's not there?
Not that I can see.
(Traitor.)
Here.
You going to work?
Yeah, yeah.
Now, seriously, what do you think?
About what?
Mirim. Suppose she never takes Seungi back?
That's life.
Her house and shop?
Why? You want me to take it back?
No but you don't give something for nothing.
You call how Seungi treated her nothing?
Well, if it's alimony, sure.
Bite your tongue. They're not even divorced yet.
Just as good as.
I still feel like I owe her.
With all she's put up with.
I don't know how I'll ever make it up to her.
Hey.
Sorry I'm late. Traffic.
Forget it. Coffee?
Yeah. Boram? Is he at preschool?
Yes.
Good morning.
You're here early.
Pssh. What do you want?
You can go. I'll tell Mom.
I'm not here cause of her.
Why then?
To talk to you.
Why should I help you lie?
You want me here every night? And my days off?
- You nuts? - My point.
- Go. - Mirim.
I'll tell her to buy your stupid car, okay?
No. If she knows I was here...
She'd beat you to death?
Yeah. You get it.
Don't worry about it. Get out.
Mirim. Pak Mirim.
There's a pharmacy on the main road.
Aram?
Hello.
Here to see your dad?
Yes'm.
Oh, dear, he's pretty busy today.
Just a simple cleaning, nothing to worry about.
Okay.
- Irrigation. - Doctor.
Yes.
Just give me five minutes.
Busy day, huh?
Just a restroom break.
Aram was here.
Oh?
I told her you're busy so she went to piano lessons.
Across the hall?
Yes. She started her lessons today.
Ah.
You have a few minutes between patients.
Thanks.
Huh? Hello.
Hey, Dabin. Aram?
- Daddy. - Aram.
It's her first day. I explained the lesson plan and her book.
I see.
She gave me this.
Ah. How much?
Pay with the lesson fee.
Okay, great.
Whatcha doin'?
Oh, it's May Queen.
- Want to try? - Can I?
Aram, we should go.
Are you busy?
Not really.
Do you have a minute?
Okay.
Gimme one.
No sweets. Your tooth.
It's okay now.
Here.
I like to get things out in the open.
Get things said and done.
I got to thinking. I was out of line the other day.
There's nothing between us, of course.
I didn't really look at it from your perspective, just my own.
I'm sorry.
No. It's natural that you'd see it that way.
I've been thinking, too.
About when we talked after I saw Aram's teacher.
And the amusement park.
As you know, I'm a little dense.
Too serious, too literal.
I never gave the nature of our relationship any thought.
I know. So let me apologize.
You were only trying to help.
I was too sensitive.
But you saw how it is.
I live alone, so it's easy for people to get the wrong idea.
So I have to be above suspicion. Observe the proprieties, so to speak.
I see.
- Grandpa. - Hey.
Hello.
- You are? - Aram.
Father.
Are you in the middle of a lesson?
Hm? Just cleaning up.
Please.
Dabin?
Your tooth hurt?
But we had it treated.
Dabin, did you have candy?
I told you not to.
Don't be mad. Kids can't resist sweets.
But how brought it here?
I'm sorry.
You gave it to him?
Yes'm.
Dabin, where does it hurt?
Take him to the dentist.
My dad's here.
Daddy.
Hello.
Dabin's took hurts.
Oh?
Shall we take a look?
Here we go. No crying, now.
It's okay. That's a big boy.
Go on. The clinic is right there.
Right. Here we go, Dabin.
No crying now.
Well? Go on.
Huh?
Right.
All better now?
Mm-hm.
May I have a word?
Dabin, stay here. I'll be right back.
Mm-hm.
Your grandpa's scary.
Your nana's scarier.
His prescription.
You okay?
Doesn't matter if I'm not.
Water?
Sure.
Here.
I should go.
Shall I join you? We can...
No. That will just make it worse.
I just need a minute. If that's okay?
Yes. Please.
Here.
All better?
Yes.
No pain?
No.
Your mother?
Take your time. You still look pale.
I always do.
Oh, right.
I'm sorry for all this trouble.
Not at all. I'm sorry for causing it all.
I thought you did, too. But not after today.
You didn't do anything.
It's my fault for causing the misunderstanding.
Still...
Bye.
What are you doing here? I told you to wait.
Grandpa?
He just left.
Welcome.
Your soup of the day and a drink.
Yes, sir.
The number you have dialed...
Hello.
Hello. Have you seen my father?
Your father? Nope.
Thanks.
You father?
Did you call?
He's not picking up.
Ah.
You taking Aram home?
Yes. I can drop Dabin on the way.
It's okay.
Please. Get back to work.
What are you looking at?
Huh?
You want to take a picture?
I should. Such a lovely family picture.
Family? Watch how you talk about my boy.
Ms. Song is someone's daughter, you know.
Yes, pardon me.
But whatever you may think, he has plans. Don't mix him up with some girl.
Mix? I just call 'em as I see 'em.
Whatever you see or hear,
I won't have any foolish talk.
Hello again.
Ah, hello.
Your daughter-in-law was looking for you.
Listen, about the dentist.
Things are looking good. He has wedding plans.
Where did you hear that?
The dentist's mother.
Your troubles are over.
What troubles?
You were worried about them getting too close.
Weren't you?
Sure Sera's better than the piano teacher, but still...
But what exactly?
Comparing her to a widow with at child.
Sera would be furious.
Who's comparing?
There are bachelors that are glad to marry a divorcee with two kids.
The days of parents standing in the way are long gone.
Gone with "Once Upon a Time."
Don't you know couples decide for themselves these days?
You'll see. After all you're fussing that he'd grow old alone.
You should be grateful he found someone.
I would be, if there was no Sera. But there is.
He doesn't love her.
He never said that.
Just friends, that's what he said.
He said he never thought of her that way.
My point exactly.
You never thought of me that way till you heard my family has money.
If you're not going to help, hush up.
He'll never find another girl like Sera.
Are we clear?
Sera?
It's me. Uh-huh.
We need to focus on the shoulder line.
I'll show you.
You're favoring the right side. Lift your left shoulder about 10 cm.
Hello?
I just got a new number.
Could you make sure I'm listed?
There's another one.
Why didn't I think of this before.
Who?
Soyong, I lost my other phone, sorries.
I've got to take this. Hang on.
Yeah, Seungi's cell.
That's me.
Who?
Sir, sir.
There you are.
Someone just called for you.
Hi-kick, I mean, Hiyong.
Right, Hiyong.
Oh, no. And?
She wants lessons and asked what time she should be here?
I'm so dead.
Who is she?
Her brother teaches martial arts.
He said he'd kill me if I saw her again.
He didn't mean it.
He'll just smack you around a little.
Knee-kick, high-kick.
If he knows close quarter stuff, maybe some joint locking.
This is no joke.
I'm under a death sentence here.
That bad, huh?
You've got to save me.
What?
Why are you so upset?
I'm not. But I feel bad.
About what?
The wedding.
Any way I look at it, I still think a spring wedding is for the best.
Are you...?
You only get married once.
I don't want to do it haphazard.
I want a nice long honeymoon.
Don't worry.
I just need some time, that's all.
No word from Mingi?
No. He likes to turn off his phone when he travels.
What the..?
Wind Story?
He's Yu Min? Hee-hee!
I can't believe it.
Hee-hee. It is Yu Min.
Leaving isn't easier than staying.
But I have to.
I can't tell her goodbye, but I have to leave.
I have to leave.
Leave?
What the...?
No...
No! Mister!
Mister, don't kill yourself.
Mister!
Ugh, I can't go up or down.
Mister!
Mister, don't kill yourself.
I'm scared...
Mister...
Easy... easy...
. . . easy . . .
Grab hold.
Mister!
You nuts?
You can't kill yourself.
Life is too precious. It's not yours to do with as you please.
Let me get up...
I'm not done. Like she's the only chick in the world?
Even if she is, you can't live without a girl?
You give people hope, they dare to dream of love.
You can't kill yourself. What about them?
You're rambling.
You're Yu Min.
Magic Lily, Wind Story, that Yu Min.
You missed breakfast.
You hungry?
Nah.
You've got to eat, it's a fact of life.
I won't charge extra, don't worry.
Come on.
I used two whole eggs. Dig in.
Aren't you eating?
I'm not much of an eater. Busy.
Enjoy.
Slob.
[Magic Lily]
What are you doing?
Removing any weapons.
What?
Usually I wouldn't care either way.
But since you're Yu Min...
Without you there's no Magic Lily or Wind Story. I can't look the other way.
Give them back.
Come and get 'em.
You're leaving? You won't get far.
Hey!
Come-n-get-me, Come-n-get-me!
Just wait...!
Hold it.
Let go. Or it's all over the 'Net. "Yu Min's a dude."
Post it, don't, just get my keys.
How about "Yu Min's a perv"?
Huh?
Yeah, perv-boy. You can see my panties.
Who are you?
I run the inn.
You're in high school.
Am not. I just look young.
I'm old enough.
Always something.
He's Yu Min.
Yu Min won't die on my watch.
Sheesh, I'm so hungry.
Whatcha want for dinner? Beer and grilled pork, cool?
Look at me.
MISTER!
Another round.
It's the middle of the day. You've had enough.
Something you wanted?
Yes. Lease payments.
Deposit it here starting next month.
Sure, no problem.
I should introduce you.
His daughter is the piano teacher.
This is Dr. Yu's mother.
I see. Hello.
Hello.
Oh, about the wedding, have you set a date?
Not just yet.
This is his bride's first marriage.
So there's a lot to prepare for.
Next year is soon enough.
Her first marriage? Her first ever?
Yes. They were friends in college. She studied dentistry abroad.
She has her own practice now.
A dentist for a daughter-in-law.
If you'll excuse me.
She's the real landlord.
The old fart just puts on like he is.
Three grown sons at home. That can't be easy.
How much?
Why? You're leaving?
Are you okay?
Yes.
You drank a lot.
Well, come again.
Thanks.
Is that her?
Looks like it.
Lucky guy, huh?
What's a girl like that want with a widower with a kid?
- Ah, hello. - Hello.
That girl just now. Your son's fiancee?
Who says?
Your wife.
Must be nice, being a know-it-all.
- Excuse me. - Of course.
Father, what are you saying?
I won't stand in your way. Just be honest.
Father. I told you it's not like that.
Then why are you together all the time?
You know he has a girlfriend?
Huh?
An old college friend. They're getting married.
I know about her.
They're just friends.
He said that? Just friends?
Yes.
Father. Don't be like this.
There's nothing between us.
It's just a misunderstanding on your part.
I'll decide for myself what I do or don't understand.
Father.
I won't make things hard for you, don't worry.
Father...
Yes.
May I have a word?
Hello.
Hey.
Dabin's grandfather came in.
We'll be going.
Okay.
Leaving already?
How many times an hour do you need the restroom?
Give it a rest. Nature calls, I answer.
Sera left?
She's inside.
Why are you leaving?
Hyongi said he'd be down and he isn't here.
He has patients.
Patients, shmatients, the clinic is closed.
I want to know why you keep seeing my daughter when you're engaged.
Just spit it out.
Father, Sera...
I'm not your father.
That's enough of that.
Yes.
What do you want?
Father, please.
Not till I have my answer.
Father.
Well? She your bit of fluff on the side, is that it?
Father, please.
Let's just go. Please.
She's nothing to you, but to me she's everything.
She's not your bit of fluff.
Father, Dr. Yu isn't like that.
I should have thought of you. I'm in the wrong here.
I'm in the wrong. I was foolish. Pardon me.
No, it was me.
Father.
Never mind.
I said never mind.
Father.
Who's at fault? Me, for caring about you.
Father.
What is it now?
What's the idea?
Blubbering in my son's office?
Mother.
She's Dabin's mother, right?
Look, lady...
Inok. You okay?
That little...
You can explain later.
Come on. Sera is waiting.
You said you were on your way down.
I'll be waiting. Hurry it up.
Ma'am.
One Seungi is enough.
Hey.
Yeah. Mirim? Upstairs?
Boram is missing.
Huh?
Boram! Boram!
Boram! Boram! Boram!
- Boram! - Mirim.
What happened?
I don't know.
I thought he was napping and when I went up...
How long has it been?
Ten minutes, no more.
My Boram, my little Boram...
I'll look for him. He'll be fine.
Okay? Don't worry.
I'll find him.
- Boram! - Boram!
Boram.
Boram!
Boram, Boram, Bo...
Jungi, I told you to wait.
Thank you, thank you.
Get up.
We've got to go to the police.
I'll keep looking. You go home.
You're going to faint.
You go there. I'll look around the shop.
Boram.
Boram...
Nothing yet.
You did?
Why did you hide under the bed?
I'm sorry, sweetie. I shouldn't have left you alone.
Boram.
Boram?
Asleep. You?
You okay?
Mm.
I understand.
Drink it and go.
I'm leaving now. Tell them to hang on.
Look, sir, I'm...
No.
Yeah. On my way.
I've got a lesson.
Got the shakes.
Night.
Is Hyongi here?
Why ask me? He was with you.
Seungi?
No sign of him.
Now we're talkin'.
Some kinda beginner's luck, huh?
Pssh.
Do it again.
Once a day is all I can handle.
Why were you late?
Sorry.
Oh, well, it happens.
Why don't you pick up?
You called?
Twice.
Strange. I didn't hear it.
Where's my phone?
I'm sorry.
Nothing to be sorry for.
- Off you go. - Thanks.
Who was that?
I'll be right back.
Okay. Don't be late.
More radish, please.
Okay.
Yes, Ramen Shop.
Hello.
Oh, Mirim just left.
Yes. Call her cell.
She's not picking up. Will she be long?
To see Seungi?
All right. Goodnight.
What now?
I'm not sure.
She's gone to the driving range. Something is up.
For better or worse.
Seungi is up to something again.
What good will you going do?
What else can I do?
She won't pick up and that's bad.
Seungi doesn't answer, either.
He may not even be at the range.
Would she go if he wasn't?
He's there all right.
Pretty good. What's the deal?
Well, you know...
Seungi!
Why don't you pick up?
Mirim...
I left it somewhere.
Martial arts. He's here.
Huh?
I said you're gone.
He's waiting downstairs.
Seungi..! Oopsies...
Heh, monkey-boy.
Knock it off.
Just say you're engaged, you've got a girlfriend.
I tried that.
She didn't believe you?
Seungi.
Lover, who's this tramp?
Who are you?
Me?
Seungi...
She's gone.
Easy.
. . . baby . . .
Which one was that? Six? Seven?
Hold it right there, martyr-boy.
You're not going anywhere.
I'll rear Dabin. Leave this house.
Darling, I'm in trouble.
That's not...
It's nothing to me. Do what you want.
I may never see you again.
Give us a kiss.
Even though he's divorced?
You try and try and nothing works.
