Jae Hwan, to think that you're my son!
Jae Hwan! Son, you're my new reason for living!
- This food is for Jae Hwan. - What was I to you?
I can't stand this obsessive relationship anymore!
- I'm going on a penniless trip. - Wait, I'll come with you.
You said you couldn't sleep, but you fell asleep right away.
Maybe I should crack the door open.

I wish that time would just stop right now.
What's with Kim Dong Joon?
Are you asleep?
That's the weirdest sleeping habit.
Is he playing freeze tag in his sleep or something?
Ugh, he startled me.
Kim Dong Joon, you should just die!
Yes, it's very important to me, so please find it.
- Yes, I'll leave it to you. - What are you doing?
Nothing.
- I'm sorry to see you guys go. - Why are you leaving already?
- Sorry, but this is all we have to give. - We've already imposed on you so much.
You weren't imposing. Hang on, wait here.
- Oh, that's good. - No, it's okay.
Here you go. Take this with you, too.
Call me whenever you need napa cabbage, and I'll make sure to get it to you.
- Thank you. Thank you for everything. - No need to thank us.
We'll come back for another visit.
It's too far for you to come back and visit.
I guess, your house really is 'far'. (word play on 'lady')
We'll be leaving now.
- Okay. - Be careful heading back.
Bye.
Jae Hwan!
I thought you weren't leaving for Germany until next week
so why are you going already?
I have to go home and spend some time with my parents
and I also need to do some preparations to leave next week.
Can you ship the rest of my things over to my parents' house?
I've finally found my long lost child only to say goodbye?
Let me know if you ever find yourself needing anything while in Germany
and call me right away if you ever want to eat anything, okay?
Okay.
I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to everyone since I'm leaving so suddenly.
- Send them my apologies. - Okay.
I'll be the best father I can be when you return.
I'll be going now.
Jae Hwan!
Mr. Kim?
I'm sorry.
I guess I'm more saddened than I thought.
You should get going.
- Take care of yourself. - Okay.
Jae Hwan!
Don't go! Please don't go!
Mr. Kim, why are you being like this?
I must be getting foolish in my old age.
The truth is, there's something I've been wanting to give you.
But I seem to have forgotten to give it to you.
- Here. - No, it's okay.
Take it, or you'll hurt my feelings.
Just take it.
Travel safely.
I'll keep in touch.
Mr. Kim... you didn't have to.
A picture of himself?
Good morning!
- Wow, are those your invitations? - Yes.
It's so pretty! Congratulations!
Wow, you've got them printed already? Congratulations!
Thanks!
- You guys have to come, okay? - Of course!
But why are you getting married so soon?
A slingshot wedding? Is there a baby in there?
No, I'm not!
Have you ever seen such a skinny pregnant woman like this before?
And it's a 'shotgun wedding', not a 'slingshot wedding', you dummy.
Mr. Kim, did Jae Hwan go somewhere?
I stopped by his room earlier, and his room was completely empty.
He's being transferred to Germany
so he left to go back to his parents' house this morning.
He's being 'withdrawn' to Germany (wrong term for 'transferred')
and he's being sent to 'foreign troops'. ('foreign assignment')
'redevelopment' must be crucial to succeeding. ('self-development')
In that case... we'll never see Jae Hwan again, will we?
Still, we were all housemates, and for him to leave without even saying goodbye...
that's a little disappointing.
Then...
did Lee Jae Hwan break up with Dohee?
That's right! Jae Hwan and Dohee were dating!
You're right!
What about Dohee?
Dohee didn't even come home last night.
Instead of sending him off on his trip, she stays out all night?
There's no doubt that those two must've broken up.
Kim Dong Joon didn't come home last night either.
We're home.
What's with the napa cabbage?
What's going on between you two?
You two are still in the same clothes you were wearing yesterday.
Dong Joon, you said you were going away on a trip by yourself yesterday.
Can't be...
You two... went together?
What!
She left my son to go away on a trip with another man?
- That's... - It was by pure coincidence!
We're still wearing the same clothes because our bags got stolen.
Don't get the wrong idea.
If you had lost your bags, why didn't you just come back home
instead of staying out all night?
- I smell something. - Smell? All I smell is that bread.
Dohee, did you and Jae Hwan break up?
I heard he's leaving for a foreign assignment in Germany.
Um... we broke up.
I'm kind of tired, so I'm heading up to my room.
Hey.
What do you mean, Lee Jae Hwan's taking a foreign assignment?
We just found out about it. He's leaving for Germany soon.
So he moved out of here early this morning.
What is this love triangle all about?
What if she's moving onto Dong Joon after realizing that Jae Hwan will be leaving?
Jae Hwan had a constant smile from ear to ear after finally getting himself a girlfriend...
That poor thing!
Hey.
What was all that about just now?
Did you guys break up?
- Yeah. - Then why didn't you tell me?
Did Lee Jae Hwan want to break up so he could take the foreign assignment?
- Is that what he told you? - No, it's not.
I was the one who said we should break up.
Just because you said you wanted to break up, he actually accepted it?
No, he said he wasn't going, so I told him to go away.
What?
Why?
That's...
Well, once we actually started dating, I realized that we weren't a good fit.
I'm cured of my agoraphobia, so there's so much that I want to do now.
But Jae Hwan's busy with his job now.
So I was wondering what to do about it when he told me about the overseas assignment.
So it actually worked out for the better.
Are you... sure that you're okay?
Yes, of course!
It's better that we broke up before more feelings got involved.
Also, I've been told that we should date around while we're still young
so how can I wait around for my boyfriend while he's overseas?
What? It's for the better?
Heol!
Min Dohee, you dare toy around with my son?
Why is my back so itchy?
Where did my back scratcher go?
Hyun Young, I'm glad you're here. Can you scratch my back for me?
Your back?
But I just painted my nails.
Dohee's here. You should ask Dohee to do it.
Want me to scratch it for you?
Forget it! I don't need your help.
I could've scratched it for you.
I said, forget it!
You betray my son, then go on a trip with his friend?
- A cramp! - Where?
Did you get a kink in your back? Want to me rub it out for you?
I said, forget it!
I don't need or want any help from you!
I'm not going to take an ounce of help from you!
Li Bang In!
I'm going on a class trip to China with my math class for a week.
You know that, right?
For a whole week?
Why am I even going on this trip when I'm not even good at math?
Are they planning on making us study math all the way in China?
Anyway, I'll be traveling overseas.
I'll bring you back a nice present, so watch the house for me, okay?
I have to get going, okay?
Bye.
Ugh, this is so annoying!
Look at what Sam has us reduced to!
I'm sorry.
Isn't your birthday coming up soon? Is there something you'd like to have?
With Sam gone, I'll be the best boyfriend I can be!
- Really? - Is there anything you need?
I don't know.
- It's the thought that counts. - [Buy me something to tell me you care!]
But if you still want to get me something, then get me whatever you'd like.
- Nothing too expensive, okay? - [Buy me something cheap and you're dead!]
Listen to you.
Okay, I got it. I'll get you something you really need.
What's wrong? Does your ankle hurt?
I think the shoes I've been wearing are putting too much strain on my ankles.
Christian Louboutin's are too expensive, so I can't even afford them.
The cheap shoes I've been wearing are hurting my ankles.
I'm hinting that I want shoes for my birthday.
- Ouch, it hurts. - Damn those cheap shoes!
Wait here, I'll get you some medicated patches.
That should've been a good enough hint.
Where are the medicated patches?
Hey, don't you even know how to knock?
Sorry, I'm just looking for some medicated patches.
It's totally smeared!
What the heck? Where are my cotton balls?
Wait, there aren't any?
What the heck? Hyun Young doesn't have any either?
Why does she always use so many cotton balls?
Hey, hurry up and get me some toilet paper.
Okay.
Ugh, this is so annoying!
Here, take this.
I've finally landed myself one.
I definitely can't let her go.
Dong Joon...
I can't let her go, but I can give her my fist!
Kim Sa Eun, you finally succeeded.
What's the deal with that ridiculous sense of humor of yours?
Wow, you used to rave on and on about how funny I was when we dated
but you've totally changed.
That's right, I've changed.
Even though it feels a bit weird to be inviting my ex-boyfriend to the wedding...
it doesn't feel right to invite everyone else but you.
I'm just inviting you out of formality, so don't feel obliged to come.
Don't come to the wedding just to throw a fit.
Hey, why would I throw a fit? I'll come and congratulate you.
- I really am happy for you. - Okay, thanks.
She has her window open again.
She's already frail as is. She's going to catch a cold.
A long time ago... there was this guy that I used to date.
I didn't realize it at first, but after we had already broken up...
I realized one day...
that he had taken complete control of my heart.
Is that right?
Yeah.
I was hoping that he'd see what I felt for him, and grab onto me.
But unless I expressed my feelings to him first, he'd never realize how I felt.
That's what I regret the most.
Not having expressed what I honestly felt for him.
Even if he were to have turned me down, I still wish I could've been honest with him.
That's why you should confess your feelings to her.
What feelings?
I know that you like Dohee.
- That's... - I'm never wrong about these things.
You knew?
Of course.
Don't end up like me and regret it when it's already too late.
Just tell her how you feel about her.
Hey, Kim Dong Joon.
Even though I did end up dumping you
you really were a good catch.
Be yourself, and be a man, and tell her how you feel.
I'm heading back inside.
Okay, Kim Dong Joon.
You're going to tell her how you feel.
So you're not left with regret.
Today's the day... of his departure.
My Eating Friend.
I have something for you. Wait for it... ta da!
Hey, that's...
I didn't know it was yours when I burned it in the grill.
Even though I didn't say anything, I felt so bad about it, so I saved it.
Wow, I thought it had burned up, but I can't believe it's growing leaves.
Well, I cared for it so carefully like I would a newborn baby
and like a miracle, I was able to save it like this.
It even has a name. I named it Lucky Wood.
Aren't you so thankful? You're touched, aren't you?
Yeah, thanks.
If you're thankful, then go out on a date with me.
I hear there's going to be a meteor shower tonight in Seoul.
Let's go see that together.
A meteor shower? Oh... that sounds good.
I was in the mood to do something tonight.
But... did you know?
I hear watching a meteor shower together can turn friends into lovers.
Really?
But... aren't we friends?
Well, I'm just saying that it happens to some people.
Anyway, I'm just saying that it happens. You in?
I also heard that this wood stump makes a person keep their promises.
- You have to keep your promise. - Okay, I'll be there right on time.
In that case, come to Paju Park by seven o'clock.
- Okay. - Okay.
My son, Jae Hwan, leaves today with a broken heart
and these two are going to see a meteor shower?
What a bunch of crap!
I'm going to crap all over that date!
Yes, that's right.
What?
A cat had kittens in the warehouse?
They're going to freeze to death in this cold weather.
What? You want me to go there?
I'm allergic to cats, so I can't go.
I guess I'll be burying some dead cats in the morning!
Mr. Kim.
- Where is the warehouse? - Why?
We can't let those poor kittens freeze to death.
I'll go there myself.
Really?
Then I'll show you where it is, so follow me, if you'd like.
Wait here, I'm going to get some food for the cat.
Okay.
Here, kitty.
The door will automatically lock once it's closed shut.
Mr. Kim, are you sure the cats are in here?
I don't think...
I hear the cat.
Where is it?
- There's the cat! - Where?
Oh my! The door must be broken!
I can't get the door to open!
Oh my, I'll go get someone to help, so wait here until I get back.
Mr. Kim.
Doesn't the cat sound funny to you?
You must be hearing it wrong.
Maybe you're right.
But the cat sounds just like the voice of an old bachelor.
- There's the cat! - Where?
No!
Mr. Kim, are you okay?
Heol!
I can't believe that we're locked in here together!
What?
What do you mean, we're locked in here together?
Of course we are!
Because this door is set up to lock automatically once it's closed shut.
I don't even have my cellphone on me right now.
Wait.
Anyone out there? We're locked in here.
It's no use.
This is an empty building in a desolate area, so there aren't any passersby.
You think I brought you out here without even researching that much?
What do you mean by that?
- Where's the cat? - There's no cat.
- Are you telling me that you lied to me? - That's right!
I heard that you're going to see the meteor shower with Dong Joon tonight!
I was trying to stop you from going out on that date before I got locked up in here, too!
Is that why you locked me up in here?
But... why would you do that?
Are you unaware that today's the day of Jae Hwan's departure?
I'm aware.
You go off on a vacation with Dong Joon after breaking up with Jae Hwan?
You and Dong Joon are the same.
How can you guys stab your friend in the back like that?
Don't say things like that when you don't even know anything.
What do you mean, I don't know anything?
Anyway, we can't get out of here until someone comes out here
so I guess you'll just have to see the meteor shower in here with me.
I wonder why Bang In asked me to meet him out here?
What a silly question.
That's because today is Princess Hyun Young's birthday.
I'm sure he just wants to give me his present.
Oh, I almost forgot.
If he gets me those shoes, I'm going to have to try them on.
No smell, thank you.
Feel, thank you.
What's this?
Is that dirt on my toenail?
Okay, I'm all ready.
Hyun Young!
What's this?
Did he tape all the shoe boxes together? One, two, three...
How many boxes are there?
Thank you so much!
Hyun Young, close your eyes.
What is this?
Guess what it is.
There's no need to guess. They're shoes!
I seriously have no idea. What is it?
Open your eyes now.
Cotton balls?
You seem speechless. I heard that you're out of cotton balls.
I thought you'd need it, so I got some for you.
These cotton balls are top of the line.
I felt so embarrassed going into a makeup store for the first time.
I'm leaving.
Hyun Young! What's wrong?
Are you mad?
Why in the world is she mad?
Could it be... that I wasn't being romantic enough?
Okay, I guess I really wasn't very romantic for her first birthday as my girlfriend.
That must be why she's mad.
What a sassy cat, she is.
What's this?
Comrade Hyun Young.
Follow me?
I didn't realize... what your heart was wanting.
Please forgive me. I'll show you just how much I love you.
I love you so much, and I have a present for you.
Love.
So he's finally caught onto what I really wanted.
What was he thinking getting me those cotton balls?
Surprise!
Comrade Hyun Young.
Why are you angry again?
Comrade Hyun Young!
I just can't figure women out.
Maybe it wasn't a big enough surprise.
It's almost time for me to meet Dong Joon, but why isn't anyone here yet?
Soon Ok was so sweet, and I was the only man in her life
so how could she have had such a conniving daughter like this one?
Too bad she didn't take more after her mother.
You know my mom?
- How would I know your mom? - Right?
I'm nothing like my mom. I just wondered if you knew her.
I'm sure you must take after your dad.
Maybe.
I don't even know what my dad looks like.
My dad didn't even show up at my mom's funeral.
What?
Soon Ok... is dead?
I kept waiting for him... but he never showed up.
She must've struggled on her own without a husband before she passed.
Anyway...
A father figure...
is something that I've never had, and something that I'll never have either.
I really have to get going though.
- Maybe I can pick the lock with this. - You actually think that'll work?
- I did it! - What?
Mr. Kim, I unlocked the door.
I can't believe I got it on the first try.
No, you can't go. You can't go see the meteor shower.
- You can't go! - Why are you doing this?
Ugh, that little rat! Stop right there!
No! No, no!
A cramp!
- Happy birthday, Hyun Young! - Thanks, girls.
Dinner will be our treat tonight.
By the way, what did your boyfriend get you for your birthday?
My birthday gift?
I can't tell them that all I got was a bunch of cotton balls.
I got what all women want, a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes.
You know that our country doesn't get too many of those shoes imported.
I'm sure my boyfriend is out shopping for those shoes right now.
Really?
Wow... those cost a couple million Won.
Since you're all about designer brands, even your boyfriend must be top of the line.
Of course.
Yeah right, couple million.
I got 2,000 Won worth of cotton balls.
Are you Miss Cho Hyun Young?
This is a special surprise from your boyfriend.
From my boyfriend?
Wow, he's so cool.
Hyun Young.
This is for you.
I love you.
This is amazing. It must be a surprise from your boyfriend.
- Can't be... - Wow, impressive.
Those are nothing but cotton balls.
But what's in those heart shaped boxes?
Aren't those cotton ball boxes?
Ugh, this is so humiliating!
Take your cotton balls, and get lost!
Please just go away!
What the heck is this?
Starting today...
Can I beat you down to the ground?
You, bloody sweet potato head!
[Acronym for being frustrating as a potato, and wanting to beat to a bloody pulp.]
Why did Sam call me out here to meet her instead of resting after her trip?
I'm already in a foul mood as is.
Did she ask me out here so that she can give me the gift she got me from China?
She busted my watch when she beat me the last time
so could it be... that she got me a new watch?
Bang In!
Sam.
- How did you hurt yourself like this? - I fell.
Did you have a nice and safe trip?
You missed me while I was gone, didn't you?
I got you a special gift.
Close your eyes, and stick out your hand.
You didn't have to do that.
Here, you can open your eyes now.
[Coupon book for ten free kisses]
This is it?
That's right. It's a coupon book for ten free kisses.
Aren't you so touched and grateful?
Since I'm in such a good mood, I'll give you the first one for free.
Ten, twenty...
That's when I realized.
That's when I realized why Hyun Young was so angry.
Lee Jae Hwan?
It's been awhile.
Yes, it has.
You leave late tonight, don't you?
Take care of yourself.
Okay.
- Is Dohee doing well? - Yeah, she's fine.
As Dohee prepares to leave for her study abroad
there's a lot that she'll have questions about and struggle with.
Stay beside her and look after her.
- Study abroad? - Do me that favor.
I'll just be going now.
She's leaving to study abroad?
But she hasn't mentioned anything to me.
Did she lie and tell him that she's leaving to study abroad?
Is this Miss Min Dohee's residence?
- Yes. - Here.
The police station?
Hello?
Mr. Kim Dong Joon? Have you received your bags?
We couldn't get a hold of Miss Min Dohee.
Ah, you found the bags?
Yes, we found both your bags, but the wallets and phones were gone.
The bags were destroyed when we found them. Sorry about that.
Yes, I see.
Most people don't even bother trying to get their bags back at this point
but Miss Min Dohee said she had something very important in there
and she asked us to send it back to her.
Please make sure to get the bag to her.
Yes, thank you.
Could it be...
that she broke up with Lee Jae Hwan so that he'd take the job?
- Why are you going on this trip? - Just to clear out my head.
Yes, it's very important to me, so please make sure to find it.
Yes, I'll leave it to you.
- I told him that I wanted to break up. - Why?
Once we actually started dating, I realized we weren't a very good fit.
He must not be here yet.
I'm glad I'm not late.
I wonder if he's waiting over there.
You know something?
Dohee leaving to go study abroad...
That was just a lie she told you so that you'd take the job.
Because she's so kind hearted!
After sending you away...
she's going to suffer from the pain of heartache on her own.
Dohee...
still has feelings for you.
She's at the park.
I got it!
What's this?
I didn't see this earlier.
This bracelet is...
[Dohee, I'm writing you this letter because it's too painful for me to say goodbye...]
If Dohee's the original owner of this bracelet...
Then it means that my long lost child isn't Jae Hwan... but is Dohee?
Mr. Kim.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
You...
You're my child.
Excuse me?
This bracelet... is it yours?
Yes, my mom gave it to me when I was little.
This bracelet...
is what connects us together.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to find you.
Wait.
I don't...
have a father.
Dohee!
Do... Dohee...
[To weather a painful heartache...]
[is like becoming seashells alongside the ocean.]
[Even though you may get crushed and shattered...]
[in the end, you will shine brighter, and become even more precious.]
[The identity of the long lost child is finally revealed!]
My long lost child isn't Jae Hwan... it's Dohee!
I don't have a father.
I'm sorry, so sorry.
[One year later...]
My Hyun Young is known as Jessica Alba these days.
I'm not having this baby without my mom here.
- Where did Sam go? - Who's Park Sam?
You may not see me for a while.
- No, I can't! - My Dohee comes home today.
Why don't you go see her?
If we're meant to be... then we'll see each other again.
