Mr. Park, it's Hong Joo's mom.
As the exam preparation planner...
shouldn't you take responsibility for my son's test scores?
I don't want to hear excuses.
Who tutors the number one ranking student at Hong Joo's school?
Get the resumes of all his tutors, and email me.
Right now.
You fell for a girl, and ranked last in class?
A girl much older than you?
Hong Bin wasted 80 percent of his life on a girl.
I'm sick and tired of that.
You, too?
Why that worthless girl?
I...
I made it this far on my own.
Some people say that I've succeeded.
But no matter how far I tried to climb up
I had to stop at a certain point.
Although I still have a ton of energy left to climb
my ladder just broke off.
The ones holding the ladder...
They said I couldn't climb up anymore...
They took away my ladder.
They wouldn't let me become a part of them.
That feeling...
It's bitter.
Meet a girl that can be a ladder for you.
Not a worthless girl like that.
Not an orphan living in a half basement, worrying about daily living...
I looked into her since she's next to Hong Bin.
You and your brother really want me to collapse?
I feel so ashamed, I can't live.
My friend's youngest son received a letter of acceptance from Harvard.
Since a long time ago, I had a feeling that you were no good.
I should have sent you away then.
If I send you now, people will say that you are just trying to escape.
But I can't afford to live in shame with you around.
I hear there are many universities in the U.S.
that accept students if you just pay the enrollment fees.
Go to one of those.
Spend a few years there, and learn English.
You are not going to get anywhere here.
I don't want to.
Can't I stay here?
No.
That boarding school you mentioned...
find out if they'll accept students mid-semester.
Prepare to send him right away.
So...
It's all my fault?
The reason why you had to retire without being able to get to the top...
The reason why the retirement funding got cut off without any notice...
The reason why you had to go to others for help...
Then your pride was wounded, and you just waste your time hiking every day...
That it's all my fault for not being able to become a ladder for you?
Is that why you spent your whole life disrespecting me and Hong Joo?
Was Hong Bin's mom that great?
What was so great about her?
I heard she was a poor student.
That bitch couldn't be a ladder for you, either.
She's already dead...
- Watch what you say! - Why?
You still carry around a picture of her in your wallet.
Did I offend you by calling her a 'bitch'?
Don't look at me with those eyes.
You don't have anyone by your side.
If you lose me, too, you'll spend the rest of your life in total despair.
You have a girl?
What girl?
Who is she?
How is that being a gold digger?
How can you insult my sincerity?
It's because I like you.
Are you sleeping?
Sleeping?
I can't fall asleep.
Joo Hong Joo...
Representative Joo.
What are you doing?
Running.
I'm jogging.
Listening to music.
Reading...
Is she sleeping already?
I'm about to sleep.
Good night.
Sleep tight, Representative Joo.
You, too.
- What are you doing? - I'm about to sleep.
- Good night. - Sleep tight, Representative Joo.
You, too.
Stupid!
I should have ended with a question mark to get an answer.
I thought you were sleeping.
You are going to sleep here?
What about you?
Son Se Dong.
Son Se Dong?
You are not going to pay back the bus fare?
I'll pay you back. I don't have much time.
You need to come to the company.
Okay. I'll go.
When? Where?
Spicy rice cake house next to Global Games.
Tuesday, at 6 o'clock.
Okay, since you are my girl.
You are my girl!
I ate so much. Thank you.
Are you still working? Something urgent?
Something bad?
Did you get in trouble at work?
Please answer me.
You keep ignoring me.
My dad just saw my report card. Please help.
It looks like he's going to send me to the U.S.
Please use this.
You don't know about this, right?
Recharging your transportation card to use as a debit card.
Recharging a transportation card?
Have you ever been on a subway?
What about a city bus?
Are you underestimating me?
So, let's talk about why you consider Monstro to be trash.
Why is it trash?
You meant to say it's a treasure, not trash, right?
Is that what's important right now?
What could be more important?
Representative Joo.
Shouldn't you stop calling me Representative Joo?
What should I call you then?
Senior Joo?
What's that?
Then what?
Honey, or something like that...
Why should I?
Before...
You and I...
You know...
Even if you rip my mouth open, I wouldn't call you honey.
Why are you playing hard to get?
You... Before...
On the rooftop...
You and I...
Oh...
Oh?
I see...
What a sly girl...
Pretending like nothing happened?
You want to die?
Then what else can I do?
Since meeting you on the streets before...
My heart has been beating so fast.
I can't even think straight.
I need to at least babble on like this...
Stop looking at me. Look elsewhere.
I'm getting so embarrassed.
- Se Dong. - Yes?
It's too bright here.
Don't you want to go somewhere dark?
Why are you doing this?
If my heart beats any faster, I'll die.
Se Dong... Se Dong...
Why don't we go over to that alleyway?
You want to see me die of a heart attack?
Get lost!
What? Get lost?
Come here.
Come here!
Representative Joo.
Just come.
Hey, Son Se Dong!
Hey, I think you broke it.
Come on.
Se Dong...
Can I go to your house, too?
Se Dong...
Please?
Come on...
Se Dong, I'll leave after sobering up a little.
Promise.
Come on, Se Dong.
Don't call me like that.
Do you know how well I keep promises?
- Stop saying that. - Stop playing hard to get.
I just need to sober up.
- No. - Seriously...
You think I'm going to do something?
Fine, I won't do it.
Stop pinching me.
Don't bite me.
You seem to be in a good mood, sir.
Let's go to the amusement park this Sunday.
To go on the Viking.
What about Se Dong?
Se Dong...
Stop calling her like that.
Then how should I call her?
Se Dong's not your wife.
Call her Ms. Se Dong.
Ga, Na, Da, Ra, Ma... [Korean alphabet]
Excuse me...
What is it?
You have something to tell me?
It's nothing.
Representative Joo. Aren't you going out to the company?
I'm going to take the bus.
Pardon? Bus?
Yes!
Have a good day, sir!
You scared me!
You know how to text, right?
Text?
Please do it for me.
I have something to tell Young Master Hong Joo.
No matter how much I call, he's not picking up.
Let's see... Joo Hong Joo.
Even backwards, Joo Hong Joo... I got it.
What should I say?
Young Master.
The envelope you wanted to give to Chairman Joo.
The envelope you wanted to give to Chairman Joo...
It got mixed up with the envelope of spending money I wanted to give to my son.
I called my son.
And he thought it was money, too. He gave the entire envelope to his wife.
So...
I called my daughter-in-law.
She says she gave that entire envelope to her mother to use as spending money.
What are you doing? Hurry, and write it.
Just continue with what you have to say.
But, her mother collapsed last night.
Oh, no...
She's in the hospital with an oxygen mask.
What should I do?
Please call me as soon as you can.
That's it.
I lost the envelope. Please call me.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
All finished.
Thank you.
Representative Joo.
So late...
This is it?
Thank you.
Wow...
Wow!
Where are we at?
Pardon?
This station...
Stop moving.
Don't follow me off.
If you do, I'll kill you.
No, Representative Joo!
I need to guard you 24 hours...
It's okay.
It doesn't happen these days.
Your arm didn't fall out, right?
It's okay.
The weather's nice.
And I'm feeling good, too.
Everything's fine.
You are supposed to use the card when you get off, too.
You found your way well.
I rode the bus.
I see.
Let's go.
It's here.
It's empty, so you can move in right away.
Wow.
The sink is outside the room, so you can utilize the room more.
Are you sure the roof doesn't leak?
Of course.
The landlord fixed it all.
If you decide to move in, he'll change the wallpapers, too.
Really?
Then I'm going to go with this house!
There are a few more houses. You don't need to look more?
No, I don't need to look further. I like it here.
I can move in right away, too.
Let's go sign the contract.
Yeah?
What is it?
Look some more.
I don't need to look anymore.
They are all similar.
The rent here is a little bit higher than the previous house...
but the sink is outside the room.
This is all thanks to you.
Since I got a good job, and get paid on time
I can afford to move to a place with a higher rent.
Thank you, Representative Joo.
Look more.
Wow.
If you can, try to haggle for a lower rent.
Or else you'll be wasting money.
Wow.
There are a few like this, but this is the only one ready to move in.
How do you like it?
It's so nice.
Really, so nice.
Good.
Move in here.
What are you looking at?
How can I move in here?
You just said you like it.
I just meant it's a nice house. Not that I'll move in.
Do you even know how expensive this place is?
I didn't say you have to pay. Just come in and live.
What is it?
The view is so nice.
It's even nicer at night time.
What is it?
Huh?
What is it?
I just felt really embarrassed.
Embarrassed? Why?
My face felt so flushed.
My face didn't turn red?
No.
I just felt this tremendous greed creep upon me...
Thinking about waking up in a warm bed in that bedroom...
Thinking about brewing coffee in that kitchen...
Having a bubble bath in the bathroom...
So nice.
I know. So do it.
I don't want to date you.
What?
I'll sign the house contract, and hurry back to work.
Thank you for coming with me to look at houses.
Good bye.
Son Se Dong!
Hey, Son Se Dong!
Why are you doing this?
What's the problem?
Who says you can stop dating me?
You want to die?
Hey!
Hey.
Hey...
I really can't understand you.
Let me hear what the problem is.
What is it?
What did I do wrong?
If I did something wrong, tell me.
Even if I didn't do anything wrong, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Se Dong, please forgive me.
I'm sorry, mom.
I'm sorry, dad.
Okay. Find out more.
Yes, it's Hong Joo's mom.
Yes, sir.
We were very disappointed because of Hong Joo, too.
Yes.
We are coming up with a plan.
Excuse me?
Hong Joo didn't go to school?
This isn't the first time?
I see.
I'll look into it, and call you back.
Okay.
The number you have called is busy...
What is it?
You should be in school right now.
I have a favor to ask you.
A favor?
Can you buy me a bottle of soju?
Pardon?
I can't buy it wearing a school uniform.
Young Master... Is something...
Can't you just buy it for me?
No, I can't.
I don't know what it is, but go back to school.
Wait.
I'll take you there.
I'll bring the car. Wait right here.
No, thanks!
Did Se Dong go to work?
No, she didn't.
The whole team took a day off.
But...
Why do you ask about her?
- You won't buy me cigarettes, either? - Young Master...
Okay. I'm going to school.
I am.
If you've calmed down, talk to me now.
What's the problem?
When I was in middle school, I really wanted to have a computer.
Computer?
Yes.
My father didn't have the money to buy it for me.
I really wanted one, so Seung Hwan gave me his computer.
Seung Hwan?
Yes, Seung Hwan on our team.
We've been friends since grammar school.
Continue.
The day that Seung Hwan put the computer on my desk...
I got spanked by my father.
It was the first time.
'Se Dong...'
'Do you know what it means to have honor?'
'It's knowing when to feel embarrassed.'
'Feeling embarrassed for coveting another's belonging...'
'That's the most important part of having honor.'
'Seung Hwan was probably happy to give you that gift.'
'But you used Seung Hwan, and coveted what was his.'
'Seung Hwan is now without a computer.'
'Looking at how happy you are with that computer'
'that I cannot afford to buy for you...'
'All the joy I felt saving up to buy you little things one by one...'
'Your colored pencils, drawing pad...'
'Your backpack and slippers...'
'All those things feel so frivolous.'
'You made me feel so small.'
The room that I have now...
My closet, desk...
Even the spoons and chopsticks...
I felt joy in my life as I bought each of those things one by one...
Standing in front of that studio you just showed me...
Those things almost became frivolous to me.
I wanted it badly to the point that I felt my face flush.
I see now why the employees look at me funny when I walk around with you.
If I continue to date you, I'll have to live being embarrassed about my life.
Or feel frivolous...
Maybe I would even lose my honor.
I don't want that.
Se Dong.
Before someone else takes it
I should hurry and sign the contract for that house we just saw.
Son Se Dong.
The fact that I took the Young Master out...
the chairman better not find out about it.
Of course...
You can ask me anytime...
As long as the chairman is not using his car...
You talk too much.
Do you know how to read and write numbers?
[Chang]
That's a word.
You should learn numbers, too.
Write it.
Please write it for me.
If you write it for me, I can copy it.
I need to see you.
Representative Joo.
Mr. Kim and Mr. Oh are here to see you.
Hello.
The other day, you played ping pong with the production team, right?
Yes.
Who won?
They did.
Is Kim Seung Hwan good at ping pong?
A little...
So what did you lose?
External hard drive. Large monitor.
And...
Tablet PC.
I'm about to lose a speaker.
We bet on it, and the game has been postponed.
I'll win back everything you lost if you help me.
Should I pack this, too?
Yes.
Seung Hwan, don't put that in.
I'm going to put it in a separate bag to carry.
What is it?
Chang's grandmother gave it to me the other day.
Chang's grandmother?
Chang's grandmother came here?
Yeah.
Delivery!
I can't believe we are each eating an order of extra large noodles.
This is so bourgeoisie.
My mother said she didn't like noodles...
What is it?
Nothing.
Sit down.
Yes, Madame.
This is what you asked for.
I heard she goes in and out of that house.
Yes.
She hasn't been coming lately, but it's true.
Who is she?
A maid?
She's an employee at the Chairman's company.
She's an employee at Hong Bin's company...
And she comes to the house?
Yes.
It happened that way.
- Why? - Well...
Then the two brothers are both into one woman?
Brothers?
Are you saying that Young Master Hong Joo fell for this girl?
Are you questioning me?
Pardon?
Aren't you only supposed to answer my questions?
I'm sorry, Madame.
You can go.
Yes, Madame.
It seems like you are acting like the household's elder, wife, and mother.
You'll never be the housewife of that house.
Just because you put stripes on a pumpkin, it doesn't become a watermelon.
You should know when to stop.
If you continue, you are going to fall hard.
What do you think you are doing?
I'll end it here for now.
If you say the wrong thing again...
I'll let the Master know who you are meeting these days...
Who you are selling his land to and at what cheap price...
I'll report every detail to the Master.
Let go.
You better let go!
Then... Take care, Madame.
Bitch.
Son Se Dong.
Hong Joo sent me this.
I think something's wrong.
The world looks so beautiful from up high.
I came here with father and Hong Bin a long time ago.
I wanted to show you, too.
What's this?
Hong Joo's not picking up his phone.
What is this?
I checked the message too late.
I got the pictures a bit before.
And what he said to me yesterday seems strange, too.
What if something bad happened?
Where is this?
He went here with me?
Where is this place?
Representative Joo.
What is it?
Actually, Young Master came to see me in the afternoon.
What?
He asked me to buy him a bottle of soju.
I turned him away.
Soju?
Yes, they don't sell to minors, so he asked me.
Yes.
Do you remember the highest place that you, Hong Joo, and I visited a long time ago?
Se Dong.
Why aren't you going in?
Did you hear from Hong Joo?
Seung Hwan, what do I do?
I'm so nervous, I think I'm going to die.
Hong Joo sent me so many messages.
He's been trying to tell me.
I wasn't in my right mind.
What do I do?
It's okay.
Calm down, Se Dong.
Calm down, and let's drink some water.
Seung Hwan.
I don't want to go through that again.
I don't want to go through it again.
Really...
I don't want to live through that again.
It'll be okay.
Everything will work out.
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
I see rooftops all around.
And I can see Namsan far away.
Where is this?
You need to figure it out.
It must be the first building we built
after I started working at the construction company.
Why do you ask?
Representative Joo, over there.
They wouldn't believe me when I told them that he was my brother.
But I don't have a brother.

Did I die?
What are you thinking?
You shouldn't do things like this.
If I had just taken his calls...
I should have taken his calls.
Se Dong...
Who is that man before?
I'm the only man who can enter your house from now on.
- I'm the only man you can be close to. - Let's break up.
Hey...
- How can you just decide my future like that? - What will you do if you don't study?
You'll be on my side, right?
You're dead.
Son Se Dong, stop breaking up with me.
You are too much.
You can say anything you want like that?
