Who are you?
Uh, hello
You called about the dog, right?
Yes, did you come alone?
Yes. Is it this one?
Yeah.
The neighbor's left it behind when they moved away
I fed it a couple of times.
Afterwards it just settled in there as if it were its home.
Come, okay? Eat
Come here.
I've tried, but it won't budge.
You'll have place it inside or it won't eat.
We'll keep it for a while until somebody adopts it.
Contact us here if you think you can keep it after you move
Okay
Thanks.
Re-encounter
- I'm back. - Uh, you're early
This kid looks a bit funky
Look at this muck. You can mistake it for Big Foot
And the adoption? She won't do it?
There's no space to keep it. She's moving into a studio.
So, you're keeping this one, too?
Awe, dammit, I don't know.
Keep an eye on him while I change
Go inside.
Welcome!
Why hello there, Yeppi!
I want her trimmed and dyed.
And I want her tail dyed in pink.
sure
Let me out! Let me out!
That little dumbass crawled in there again!
Let me out!
Not in the living room, go change in the bathroom You're dropping sand. Go!
It hurts.
It won't if you stay still. It hurts cause you keep moving.
Stop it!
Stop moving. Stay still.
But it hurts!
It hurts.
Who's there?
Mom?
This area.
It's red, here
Red?
It looked red.
Underneath its tail.
And not its belly button?
Near its asshole.
Hmm, so it's near the asshole...
It... Looked like a sausage.
So good, sausages!
If it looked like a sausage... It might a hernia.
I want sausages! Linked Vienna sausages!
Is it serious?
Dogs barely have subjective
symptoms, so it won't know if anything's wrong.
But a surgery will keep those protruding organs from
getting infected
I want sausages! Linked Vienna sausages!
Stop crawling in there, okay? And stop whining about sausages
- Good? - Want some?
It's okay. it's all yours.
But it's good. You have some too, mom
You can't say that to an unmarried woman How am I your mom?
Woong! Never call her that again.
She'll never get married
How come?
What do you think, you dimwit!
How can a single woman get married with a son like you?
Why can't she get married with a son like me? Why?
I know. Now I'm getting annoyed Who says that in day and age?
Why can't I get married with a son like Woong?
Uh, yeah... Of course you can.
You can, but... Well, I guess it's okay...
Then, can I call you, mom?
Mom.
Look at all this shit.
Bad dog.
Don't. Don't. Don't.
I'll give you dinner
Don't cross the barricade. I won't be nice if you do.

I still need to change into my gym suit and assemble.
What? What did you just say? Is Phys. Ed. more important or me more important?

Rep. to Parental Authority SONG Hyeyoung, HYUN Oakja
Adopter CHU Byungwook
Get up.
It's almost time for Hansoo to come.
Your brother's coming, too.
I explained everything, so he won't nag you like last time.
- Mom - Huh?
You hate me, don't you?
I'll just stay until the baby's born and Hansoo graduates.
Sorry.
Stop saying that You're my daughter. You shouldn't feel sorry
But still...lam.
Especially since I quit school
- Is your mom home? - My brother's here, too.
Hey, Hyesoo! How have you been? Her belly's quite big now.
Hyesoo, how have you been? When's she due?
- Perhaps, at the end of next month? - Who's the father?
Want me to find out who my dog's baby's mutt father is?
I'm sure you've got a hunch?
Who's the father, Hyesoo?
Stop fooling around.
Who's she saying it is?
She says she's got to give birth to know.
She can be sure when she sees their fur color
It serves us right We did let her run free I guess she's a slut
- Let's eat. - Thank you
Does your mom have any plans to see you together?
Uh, yes... She did mention she wanted to see us one day
Hyehwa's due date's coming up. Shouldn't we just visit your mom?
Mom, what am I gonna do? I'm so nervous.
Stop being such a wiseass! This is not the time and place for wisecracking!
I know you'll do okay... And don't worry too much Hansoo.
I'll do my best to help you. Okay?
Yes, ma'am
- Long time no see - Hello.
She can't go to the toilet alone without that
I'm fifty years of age I've got three sons.
My second has the brains. Just like his father.
But I got on his case. I told the kids' father...
He was in his fifties when he brought home his bastard child.
“How dare you bring that illicit offspring into my house?" I shot words of venom at him.
But that little child was crying her lungs out. And I had to cover her mouth to shut her up.
But the little bitch just wouldn't shut up.
Who is it?
I'm a student at Myeong Won Univ., is Prof. CHU home?
Hello.
What present?
It's not much. I took the professor's class before.
He helped me with my grades once.
Here.
You could've just given it to him at school.
I just finished military service and haven't re-matriculated yet.
Besides, I live nearby and was just passing through.
Mommy, where did you put my Princess Poppy?
Don't come out like that. It's cold out here
Huh? Where'd you put my Princess Poppy? I want it now
Okay. Go inside You'll catch cold.
Then, who should I say brought this? Or would you rather talk to him on the phone?
No. I'll come back when the professor's home.
I live nearby anyway.
Then at least give me your name. He should know whom it's from.
I'm KIM Hansoo, ma'am.
And major?
Piano
Hello.
Hyehwa, you haven't eaten lunch yet, have you?
No.
I brought some sushi and fish cutlets.
Come here and join us.
Hey, Hyehwa?
Excuse me?
Go wash your hands and join us.
What?
- I'm nervous. -It's okay.
I'm sorry, it's all my fault.
But, to be honest, I don't know when Hansoo's coming back.
And I'm planning to join him soon
Why don't you raise it yourself, or put it up for adoption I'll support your decision.
If there's anything we can do, we'll do our best to help.
On condition that you let Hansoo go. Please, I beg you
So, Hansoo didn't tell you anything? Until now?
We didn't even know he had a girlfriend. I'm sorry.
Is that what Hansoo said? That he's leaving for Canada?
I'm sorry. it's all my fault.
Let's go, mom.
It's Hansoo's sister She's been staying with us since her recent childbirth.
You're KIM Hansoo, aren't you?
Sir? Yes, hello, sir.
My wife told me about you. So you live around here?
Yes.
- Come inside for a moment - Excuse me?
It's okay. Just come inside for a minute.
- So you live around here? - Huh? Yes, sir.
- And you took one of my classes? - Yes, sir
What class was it?
It was before I served my military term, so I'm not sure...
- Is that so? - Yes, sir.
- You said you're majoring in Piano, right? - Yes, sir. Is there...a problem?
Our university has no Piano major. And no one by the name, KIM Hansoo lives around here either
I checked at the Student Affairs office after you stopped by.
Anyway...
What were you doing in front of my house?
Sir?
It's not the first time you've snooped around here, is it?
Where are you going you son-of-a-bitch!
- Where do you think you're going? - What's wrong?
Where do you think you're going? Get over here.
- What's wrong? - Get over here.
Stop it! Let go of me!
What do you want you son-of-a-bitch!
What do you want? Tell me!
- Let go of me! - Tell me! What do you want?
Why have you been snooping around our house for days!
Tell me. Tell me, you little shit!
Honey, hurry and call the police!
Don't! Please don't! I can explain! I can explain everything...
Why haven't you asked any questions?
How come you're not asking me anything?
Our kid... At least go see her, just once.
And I'll... do anything you say.
He might be white. Hyesoo's boyfriend
Only that one looks like its dad.
But it still has its mom's yellow shade on its tail.
Mom.
Lets...
put them up for adoption
They'll be others who can take good care of them,
in other place.
Mom. Have you even seen the woman who gave birth to me?
Why did that woman...
give birth to me?
If she was going to give me up anyway
- It seems to like me - Do you like me?
Here, doggie! Come over here. Come here, doggie
Hey, doggie, come here. Come.
Don't be so stubborn when all the others are leaving!
Come here, come, doggie.
Hey, doggie.
It's not doggie, she's Hyesoo, Hyesoo.
Hyesoo?
My daughter's name is, Hyehwa. So I took the 'Hye' from her name.
We've got another white puppy. Where did it go?
Isn't it inside with the others?
Hey! Come over here! Hyesoo! Come!
If you keep it up, I'm leaving you here.
You like being by yourself? Come here, Hyesoo
Come here
Stay still! Come here
Sorry.
I'm positive it's her class...
I found her.
See the girl with the rabbit mask?
She's always wearing that hair pin.
No. 6149, 6149 please move your car!
This is a parking prohibited area. Please move your car!
I got it, so move out of my way! You're blocking my view!
- What did you just say? - I said, move your car!
I can't believe you're telling US to move! YOU move!
Just move your car! This won't take long!
You can't talk to us like that, mister! Move or you're getting a ticket!
Hey, you can't just leave your car there! Move it now! I said, now!
You said you just wanted to see her face!
Let's try one more time, okay?
If we wait a little, school will be over. We can still see her!
Go. We need to stop now
When I was hospitalized after hurting my leg in the army, this picture helped me endure it all.
You and me. And this baby Living and eating together Having these thoughts
Us three... We could've been a family.
I'm... going back to Canada next month.
Once I'm back in school and receive permanent residency, I'm planning to settle down there
Hyehwa.
Wanna come with me?
Hello?
I'm sorry.
You weren't answering my calls. Did something happen?
No. I had to stop by my place to do something.
Then you should've told me I was worried sick.
Since when have you started worrying about me? Were you really worried?
Of course I was worried!
The car keys were gone and you weren't answering my calls.
You know, when you return I'm gonna teach you a lesson!
But I am already here. So what's on your mind?
Hey, what's so funny?
- I just remembered you playing the guitar on stage - What was I like?
To be honest... I envy you.
You've been able to go back to the past
Creating a band with friends singing...
Seeing your old ex-girl friend again...
Which reminds me... Hwayoung, Woong and I are seeing my late wife's parents tomorrow.
What?
We're getting married.
After Woong's mom left us like that, my father-in-law asked me one favor.
That if I met someone, he wanted to meet her
That's why we're seeing them before I tell my parents.
You're getting married?
Did you tell Woong?
No, not yet. But he's known her for a while.
He'll like it. He needs a mother's touch anyway.
Why not me?
Huh?
I'm just...
curious
Why isn't it me?
What are you saying?
Surprised?
What was that?
You surprised me, so I just did the same thing. Surprised?
You must be crazy
it's all for the best. You can merge your hospitals together. Besides, her location's better.
Then what'll happen to me?
I'm not being laid off, am I?
Stop kidding around. Besides, we haven't talked about that yet.
- Congratulations. - Thanks.
You can come in the morning, check the dogs, and leave early.
I'm taking Hwayoung's car, so you hang on to this.
Let's go, Woong.
Let go. We have to go home. Oh my What am I gonna do?
He likes you more than his dad
That won't be good for Hwayoung either.
That's not true. Woong is fond of Hwayoung.
Three years is half a lifetime for Woong.
Without you, things would have been really tough, for Woong and for me...
When you get married someday, you'll be a great mother. Trust me.
I'm leaving. Bye.
Get a grip of yourself! You're putting yourself and your child's life at risk!
But, I just can't...
I know it's terrifying, but everyone goes through it.
But, I'm scared... I'm scared.
What are they saying?
She hasn't eaten anything wrong or was in pain
- Who did you talk to? - The girl's mother.
Then what's wrong with her?
I just want the operation.
Hyehwa. Are you awake?
What about my baby?
What is it? Is something wrong?
This morning... your baby became an angel.
It was born with a weak heart.
It's not your fault.
Why did you do it?
Did you feel you couldn't trust me?
When are you planning to move here?
Perhaps next month.
Which pre-school is your child going to now?
The one in Mokdong.
I see. The mom's there are pretty pushy, aren't they?
I guess it's the same everywhere...
Is this also a class for 6-year-olds?
Yes, the Elephant Class. Want to take a look?
Yes.
Parents are sending their kids to English speaking pre-schools as it's become a fad.
But it's not the name brand that matters, but the quality of the native-speaking teachers.
I'm glad you came today since it's the weekly English Day.
Everyone can only speak English on this day.
So the kids can be in a natural
English-speaking environment.
Can I take a look at the other classes?
Ah, no problem.
This is the Rabbit Class for 6-year-olds
Would you like to see the cafeteria and the auditorium?
No, that's okay.
Is this the last 6-year-old class?
Yes. Are there any other class you want to see?
Among the children, is there...
Anyway, thank you for the tour I'll be back.
You... must have married early You look so young.
Uh, yes. I'll be back.
Yes, please do
Think it over and come with your child next time.
Yes
Hey!
Why?
Are you... Nayeon?
Yes
I just told to take a pee ... I have to tell my teacher.
What?
I have to tell my teacher.
I said, I have to tell my teacher first.
But I already have. Your mom's waiting. Let's go.
You're... You're not kidnapping me are you?
Do I look like a kidnapper?
No. You're not wearing a mask.
Let's go.
Aren't we going to my mom?
Go back inside. Now!
Hyehwa!
- Hyehwa! Listen to me first. - Go away
- Wait Just hear me out. - Go away, you crazy fuck!
Hear me out, first!
If I don't do this,
there's nothing else I can do for you.
So? What the fuck do you want?
You want to be a father after all we've been through?
You must be out of your mind
How about you?
Isn't it what you wanted, too?
Isn't it?
Nayeon's pre-school... Why did you go back?
Nayeon. .. Do you remember me?
- Do you have mommy's number? - Hyehwa!
I gave it to him
Give it to me again
Which one?
- Mommy's cell phone number. -0112873061
But he called to say I'm sleeping over.
No You can't sleep over today. You have to go home, okay?
How much are those earrings?
Hyehwa, we'll just spend one night together!
I'll take her back first thing in the morning, okay? Then everything will be alright!
It was never our decision to give her up! Don't you feel resentful?
Just one night. Hyehwa, just one night Stop it!
We'll take her back after just one meal.
Me, you and Nayeon it's our last chance!
It's our last chance, to be together!
Hyehwa, Please...
Come here and eat.
Shall we eat first? She wants to eat later.
Nayeon... You can't use chopsticks well?
Put this finger in here. That's it.
Like this. Look Like this and this.
- Like this? - Yeah. Try.
Like this, and this You try by yourself
Try it again
I can't do it well.
It's difficult to me I can't do it
Right. I can do it!
No, I CAN'T do it!
I know. You can do it. Let's try again
Can't we eat first?
Nayeon, let's try once more. Now, try.
It's okay. Try again.
I'm sorry
Who on earth...
wouldn't have been afraid?
- Good morning, guys - Like this?
I don't know. Uh huh, I got up already.
Huh? Auntie's awake.
- Want to talk to her? - Who is it?
Mommy
Nayeon, did you tell her where you are?
Mommy told me to tell her But I don't know where we are.
- So? - So... I read this to her
What is it?
Take this and hide for a while. My brothers are coming.
What about Nayeon?
I'll take her back. Just go I'll call you.
But I don't have a cell phone.
Then take this... No, remember the place you first found me?
The house with the green gates. The place you came to meet me.
Yeah.
Wait for me there. I'll join you as soon as my brothers leave
Just let me say goodbye to Nayeon...
There's no time, so go! I'll take her to her school!
What's the rush? Is something wrong?
Please!
Fucking bastard...
Where's my mommy?
She's coming.
Let's wash up before she comes. So you look pretty
But I see my mom everyday. I don't have to look pretty for her.
But you should still look pretty for her
- Aren't you hungry? - No.
Wanna have breakfast after you're done washing?
It's okay. I'm not hungry. I'm on a diet My belly's getting pudgy
Nayeon... when you grow up, you think you'll remember me?
Well, if you give me those earrings
Okay.
Okay, I'll remember you.
Thank you.
Mommy will remember you too.
Are you JUNG Hyehwa?
Yes
- Mommy! - Nayeon!
Now you can go home.
No. He's not living in Canada.
He said... he was going back to school in Canada.
I'm so sorry.
It was lie, about sending him off to study in Canada
At that time, we sent him to a country boarding school.
We were planning to send him abroad after high school
But our Hansoo...
never graduated from high school
We thought he was adapting well.
But right before his graduation, he just quit school.
Why?
We don't know,
what happened
He'd come home every few months when he ran out of money
And then sneak off again. Then he joined the military last year.
This we found out later.
This photo Is it a picture of Nayeon when she was born?
I don't think so.
No, it's not.
This child... Who is it?
Where... did you get this?
Did Hansoo give it to you?
Along with this
Because of this...
This is why our Hansoo...
My baby...
Where is she?
What about Nayeon?
Did she go back, safe and sound?
Met Nayeon's mother.
Our child...
I wanted to find her for you.
Because I felt so sorry.
Because there's nothing I can do for you.
But how could you do something like that?
I'll start looking again.
I'll search for our baby again.
What is wrong with you?
You heard the truth.
Your mom said she told you everything.
And you believe her?
Why is everyone saying that?
You've seen the photo and the adoption agreement.
Don't you get it? Your mom and my mom... Behind our backs
She's not here!
She's not here any more, our baby!
How could you say that, Hyehwa.
'M sorry for lying to you, but
Don't say that so easily
We just haven't found her yet.
She was secretly put up for adoption!
She's alive! But just for a day!
For that one day, her father had skipped town,
and her mother was trembling with fear.
While her grandmothers were signing up to give her away!
For one long day... Our child...
waited for us until she had to leave.
It's not right.
Because you don't want to accept it, doesn't mean you can turn it back to the past
Say hello.
It's Hyesoo's daughter.
