That's as far as your talent goes.
An unattractive answer. Photos you can find anywhere.
You have no talent at all.
What are all these?
Please, calm down. My goodness...
You are the problem, too.
Please leave me alone.
Where are you going?
I'm going to Seoul.
Leave it. Leave it.
Oh, welcome.
Our guest house isn't like this normally.
Ouch.
Ahjussi, are you Lee Baek Man?
Yeah, I am.
Nice to meet you.
I think you're my dad.
Did you follow me?
You must've been tired.
You were snoring, too.
Let's meet again. I won't ask for your number and I won't follow you either.
But you'd like to meet two more times?
We met before, too.
- That was a coincidence. - Who knows? It could be fate.
They're not lively. That's why your photos aren't being recognized.
Wait until your body reacts to it.
I'll be right back.
Where are you going this late?
Would you like to come back after you're done with that roll of film?
I think those eyes would capture interesting photos.
♫ One more flight ♫
[ Second Night ]
Aigoo. It's nice having a drink outside with a guest.
I'm not taking your time away, right?
You must've been stressed.
Not so much stress. Everything is all jumbled up.
Oh, earlier...
what did you mean by "Mr. Fate must be right?"
- I decided. - What and how did you decide?
I decided to do what I want to do.
Just do it.
You don't hesitate, huh?
You're young!
Is there a photo studio nearby?
Yeah, there is. It's probably closed now.
Go straight and make a left at the fork.
I'll test out my fate. One more time.
Are you confident?
Yes, I'm confident.
Thank you.
It's nice to be young.
Testing out the fate?
The number you dialed...
There's no way that it's still the same number.
Wait a minute!
If I had left missing a call, we would've never met.
I must be lucky.
Do you want to relax a bit?
No matter how busy,
I have to do this right.
Okay.
I think I'm Mr. Fate.
- You must've finished your film. - Yes.
Wait a minute. I have to take his picture first.
Open your shoulder, tuck in your chin,
and turn your face slightly to your left.
Yeah, it looks great now. One, two...
One more time. Just how you are.
Can I trust you?
- If you don't feel comfortable... - Then will you give up?
No, trust me.
- Do your best. - Yes.
The light will come in.
I asked to turn off the outside light, too.
How is it going?
Isn't it annoying when someone opens your bedroom door at any time?
This is how you look.
Don't look.
I have to go. Start cleaning up!
I'm sorry!
You leave first.
Do you need help?
It's okay.
Put your head down a little.
I can do it.
I shouldn't have let him go inside, huh?
Didn't he interrupt you?
I'll keep your photos so come by tomorrow.
Thank you.
- You, too. - Yes.
Goodnight.
Bye.
Yeah.
Why did you take a picture?
Since I'm jobless, I have to look for a job again.
Didn't you want to dance?
Will you apply to a dance company?
Thanks to you.
Thanks to...
me?
I wish it worked out for you.
It will.
Your pictures must've turned out great.
- Did you see it? - No.
For you to check at this hour...
means you really like them, right?
Just because...
I couldn't fall asleep.
Goodbye.
Do you have someone special?
What?
I want to see you again.
Not coincidentally.
So you do have someone.
It's not that.
You said you were leaving in four days.
So what?
I don't date anyone easily.
It was nice meeting you.
This is my final greeting.
I wish you good luck.
To you and to your trip.
You, too.
Goodbye.
I don't want to hear your excuses.
Chae Won, it's nothing.
Leave.
I'll call you.
Did I interrupt?
I should change the front door passcode.
Did something happen?
It's just...
You... where were you?
Ah, I went to the photo studio.
There's a studio that's still open at this hour?
An important picture?
Maybe.
What a hassle. Let's clean up tomorrow.
[ June 11th, 2010 ]
I met someone strange.
Cha Hyun Oh.
A traveler from Tokyo who's same age as me.
He asked to meet again.
And this time, he said he was waiting for me.
Is this how Japanese guys flirt with girls?
Do you have someone special?
What?
He said he wasn't flirting with me.
But he says strange things as if he read my mind.
And there are no hesitations.
It was nice meeting you.
This is my final greeting.
But still, wasn't he too casual?
Yeah.
Do you know anything about Yoon Hong Joo?
No, it's not that I'm missing her.
She appeared in my dream last night, the first time in a long time.
She asked me how I was doing.
Stop rambling. Do you know or not?
No, nothing happened with her. Forget it!
Hey, but...
Does your hospital...
perform DNA testing...
Oh, good morning!
I used your bike.
Ah, the bike...
Yes, it's good for your health.
Use it as you please.
You should eat before it gets too cold.
Yes.
I don't know how it turned out since it's been a while for me.
Hey, you...
You left without waking me up
and made breakfast. I feel bad...
Ah, this is so good.
Ramen is the best after a drink, huh?
I think the owner and the guest are switched.
What does it matter who makes it?
[ Mommy ]
Who is it?
My mom.
I don't want to answer it.
Does she still check up on you?
Not just checking...
she says she's supporting me, but
I feel like suffocating.
Does she know that you're in Seoul?
She thinks I'm in Nepal.
I ran away from graduation workshop.
No wonder! I knew something was odd.
Why'd you run away?
Just because.
Do you want to go and visit our school?
Our school?
Why all of a sudden?
Just because I want to see it.
Ah, your work.
Hey, I'll miss work, too.
Brave like you...
Take a half day off?
Running away
isn't being brave.
Hey, not anyone can do that.
Look at you.
What are you looking at?
Wow, it's a bird's egg.
Don't you think it's a woodpecker's egg?
A woodpecker?
I read in a book. A woodpecker lays an egg in someone else's nest.
Because she doesn't want to raise the young.
[ Aram Junior High School ]
Hey, was it always this steep?
We're experiencing a reverse wave of time.
There's my poor, old mother by the white wall.
My poor, old mother...
is washing the radish in this cold blue winter day.
She's just like you.
She's sleeping without any care in the world.
The first girl in that row is like you.
She acts all smart, but doodles in the textbook.
Please give me two banana milk and bread. Two, two!
Should we go to the library?
The library?
Don't you remember that book?
Hey!
What did he say?
He says we can see it if we don't cause trouble.
[ Aram Junior High School - Yearbook ]
[ Kang Chae Won ]
Your hoobaes may see it.
Or maybe, you'll even get to see it when you're older.
Don't write any nonsense, but be serious.
Think of it as a letter to yourselves in ten years.
You may begin.
Who'd look up something like this later on?
Ten years later, I can't believe it...
25 years old?
Wow, that's old.
I think I'll be a best-selling author.
What do you think I'll be doing in the US?
Oh, that's right.
You'll be so fluent in English.
I'll be in college, right?
No.
I'd be either studying for college entrance exam or working if I'm 25, right?
You might be married, too.
Hello.
Kang Chae Won.
How did you become such a famous author?
Some of the senior boys are fighting over you.
No, maybe they went their separate ways...
No, that can't happen.
Anyhow, it'd be a difficult life to live.
Shouldn't I come up with an autograph?
- Kang Chae... - Hey, Kang Chae Won!
Be quiet.
That old man.
Oh, my goodness. I haven't changed a bit.
Not knowing myself. Look how immature I was.
Let's see what you wrote.
- Shall we look? Do you remember? - No.
Don't do that!
How come the uniform, and PE clothes are still the same after 10 years?
- It's so dark. - Kids are so energetic.
Hey, you stop there!
So sorry, so sorry!
Hey, you! Stop!
Gosh!
It's the best time of your life now.
Oh, I have to go now.
I'll get scolded again.
- Let's go out together. - Why?
When will you get to come back? Look around more.
- Pierre? - Yeah.
I hate him.
Hello.
I'll be a great photographer.
I'll push the shutter without hesitations.
A confident photographer.
I'll be so awesome.
And...
I'll have a fateful love.
Tall, straight eyebrows,
bright eyes, my destined
love will be by my side when I'm older.
But where is he and what is he doing now?
[ 17th Seoul Contemporary Dance Company Performances ]
No, no, no.
Not like that.
This feeling. Hang onto it.
Cha Hyun Oh?
How'd you get here?
Did you come to see my performance?
Thanks.
I didn't think you'd really come.
I came for a business trip.
With those clothes?
I have a meeting at night.
I'm nervous thinking that you'll watch.
I'm still not sure about tomorrow's schedule.
You have to come. You came all this way, and you'll just leave?
How is everything?
Do you enjoy it?
Not really.
I feel like dying.
I took three years off and my body isn't like how it used to be.
Is it that bad?
The body is one thing...
but I'm afraid.
I don't know why the stage seems so big.
I feel like I'm standing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
You know that feeling, right?
For some reason, the stage is scary to me.
How about you?
Did you give up on dancing?
I've never given up.
What's he doing?
He's incubating.
He'll raise a woodpecker on his own, he said.
Strange...
He doesn't know his house, no contact information.
Where did he come from?
He knows, but he's not saying anything, right?
Whenever I ask something, he's ready to cry. I can't even open my mouth.
I'm so frustrated.
You're suspicious to me.
If you have nothing to do with him, why don't you just send him to the police?
You have some doubts, too.
What doubts?
And besides...
even if he's my son,
how can I raise him? I don't even know him.
That's what I mean.
You're suspicious in saying that.
Even if, what if...
something like that did indeed happen.
Aigoo. Welcome.
Please come in.
Se Jung sunbae?
Did you write anything?
But...
how did you come here?
Why?
You think I came for you?
I never meet someone I dated before.
What are you doing here?
I'm working.
I write, too.
If you didn't come to see me, what brings you here?
My air conditioner broke
and they're so backed up that they can only come tomorrow.
I won't be here tomorrow.
Why not?
Didn't you see? I brought luggage with me.
- Where are you going? - It's none of your business.
Can't I ask?
I'm following my work,
to Moscow.
What is it?
There's a spot to fill in Bryan's studio.
Do you have anything to send from your portfolio?
Thank you for the information.
I'll keep that in mind.
I'll look at it first. Send it to my email.
I won't butt in this time.
It's a great opportunity so don't be too prideful.
Just think about the result.
You know what I mean, right?
Cheers.
Daebak.
You're a sunbae from my school.
No, don't mention it.
Drinking food.
Thank you.
It's really amazing.
I live in Busan now.
I transferred during my middle school years.
Did you come to visit?
I came to catch someone who ran away.
He's MIA.
Such a jerk.
Are you sure he came to Seoul?
He's in the palm of my hand.
His family are all supportive of me.
His younger sister told me that he came to Seoul.
Who is he to you?
We're very intimate...
But Seoul is so big.
I have to know where he is through telepathy.
Would a runaway send something like that?
He's probably sending it, saying that he misses me.
Why are you drinking during the day?
Just because...
I feel so petty.
What's so petty?
I don't want to
let go of what's in my hand.
New Yorker?
You went home late last night because of me, right?
Yeah.
Here.
I like quince tea.
How did you know?
Huh?
Did you drink?
Yes. A little.
You're young.
I don't think you drank because of a happy occasion.
Can I take my pictures back?
Yeah.
I didn't touch them on purpose.
There's a joy of taking it out from the dryer.
There's a spot to fill in Bryan's studio.
Do you have something to send from your portfolio?
Are you happy with your photos?
But, last night...
why'd you say that you were curious about my photos?
Your face looked like you were contemplating a breakup.
The way you were looking at the dark room
looked like you were saying, "Should I part ways with photos?"
The muses always show up then.
When you want to give up on everything.
What if it's a...
lingering affection?
I have a confession.
I peeked through your photos while cleaning up.
I think you had a reason to run over so late at night.
That is...
I'm not asking you to explain. I just liked it.
I just took those pictures.
That's why.
No reason, but just taking them.
Your body just moved.
Didn't you wait for that kind of excitement?
Could it be just a lingering affection?
Did you really...
like my photos?
You need a confirmation, huh?
I still do.
You have to trust yourself more.
I'd fall for it, too.
Can you scan this film for me?
I haven't heard from him.
He took pictures preventing
me from closing that late at night.
That means he decided something important, too.
Did something happen to him during the night?
Do you know anything?
No, I don't know...
You want to apply to the dance company?
Thanks to you.
Me?
So you have someone you're seeing, huh?
It's not that...
You said you're leaving in four days.
It was nice meeting you.
This is my final greeting.
Can't be because I refused him...
You again?
Well...
I can't let you in, you know?
Sorry.
Hold on. Give me one second... Just let me...
Chae Won, can you talk?
I want to find a place to stay.
No.
Yeah, I ran into Pierre, but...
Yeah, he came with flowers in his hand.
I'm not leaving because of that.
Just because...
I think you need time and space for yourself.
Lingering affection?
Playing around?
Coincidence?
A pushover?
A destiny?
Man...
Aigoo, it's good.
Wow, this is great.
I'm Park Ji Sung's fan.
We can see it so big.
The broadcast will be awesome. Great sound system, too.
Hey, why are you leaving to go to market now?
Don't just buy your favorite chips and cookies,
but buy some dried fish and squid.
Snacks for adults, okay?
Yeah, you can buy some chips and cookies, too.
Concerned about your blood ties, huh?
Dang it! Hey,
I'm just taking care of him as an adult, okay?
Be careful what you say.
Want to...
go for a drive?
Why can't I even find a strand of hair?
Doesn't have to be a hair. Toothbrush and nails are possible.
Come tomorrow. The result will come out in a day.
Aigoo. Father...
Man, why did he put it here?
I'm going crazy.
Ahjussi.
Yeah, why?
Do you not like me?
Huh?
Do you not even want to see me?
What are you talking about?
Why? Why are you saying that?
I'm just curious.
Hey.
Don't misunderstand.
I'm not your dad. Really, I'm not.
But you could be my dad.
That's not possible.
I'm really not.
Even if I'm your dad,
I can't raise you. I'll send you to your mom.
Why would I raise you? For what?
Geez.
[ Reencounter ]
Why would I raise you? For what?
Why did I say that?
I didn't say anything wrong though.
I just said it from my perspective.
Why does that kid's face look so sad?
Hey.
Hey!
Oh, you're here.
Have you seen that little boy around?
No, I haven't.
Where did he go with all his bags?
Did he disappear?
Could you stay here for a minute?
I'll look around and be right back.
I don't have anything scheduled so take your time.
Thank you.
[ Lee Baek Man ]
Ah, Ahjussi!
Oh, sorry. Later, later.
The owner just left...
Oh, I saw him.
He left in a hurry.
But why are you...
This is where I'm staying.
I think you can pick any room you want.
You can check-in when he returns.
Excuse me.
Why didn't you pick up your pictures?
I mean, the studio lady was waiting for you.
Did you pick up your pictures?
Yeah, I got them.
Do you like them?
Yeah, sort of...
No, I like them.
That's good.
Look around. There's more space inside, too.
This is the final greeting.
I wish you good luck.
To you and to your trip.
You said you weren't flirting with me.
Why...
are you cold to me?
That smile means you admit it, right?
You said you didn't want to meet anymore.
You expect me to be warm to you?
But we still met.
Then things change.
How so?
So...
we don't have to act like we're strangers.
- How much can I pretend to know you? - Huh?
It's so hard.
We'll leave each other soon
and you said you don't meet people lightly.
But we don't have to act like we're strangers...
I wouldn't know how to act around you.
You acted however you wanted and now you care about how I feel?
Are you saying I can do whatever I want to?
No, that's not what I mean.
Then what do you mean?
So...
that's...
You're doing this on purpose, huh?
For revenge...
Just with this?
You want me to take revenge seriously?
What do you want?
What do you want me to say to you?
Your honest feelings.
I want to know you.
That's Spanish.
I was wondering when I'd use it, but
I'm glad I studied it.
I want to know you.
Man... you're so cheap.
You're striking me right back.
If you tell me first, then I'll tell you.
Forget it.
I answered you already.
Aren't you going to send me the email?
Kaiya just heard that she passed.
I'm wondering if you'd be worried.
You still need me.
Is something wrong?
No.
I forgot to send a picture.
What if I get embarrassed again?
Why am I so insecure?
Hey, Yoo Chan!
You...
Who said you can leave without saying anything?
It doesn't matter.
I was worried!
Ahjussi, the bird...
I didn't do that on purpose.
I wasn't careful so I made a mistake.
A mistake.
Does it make a different?
He died already.
I know you're confused.
You may be angry.
I'm marrying someone else after breaking up with you.
It doesn't have to be confusing.
I just...
need to forget about today.
A mistake, not being careful...
I'll just think that.
Both you and I.
Yeah, it's a mistake.
But my mistake was
not today.
The fact that I couldn't hold on to you.
Marrying someone that my parents decided for me.
That's my mistake.
A chance to make up for my mistakes...
Can't you give it to me?
You have to give another chance
to make up for the mistake.
Let's go. The sun is going down
You said for what?
You punk, what's wrong with your memory? You're so...
You're so special, huh?
I'm sorry...
I didn't mean any of that.
Let's go.
I'll trust you.
When will you come back?
I didn't buy a return ticket.
Why not? Aren't you coming back?
I don't know. If I like it there, then I can stay, too.
But why are you so interested?
Do you still have feelings for me?
Do I have to have feelings to worry about you?
Yeah, right.
You worry about yourself. Until when will you stay there?
Were you envious about your friends publishing?
Or were you hiding in that guest house because you were embarrassed?
If that's the case, then leave like I did.
You'd be refreshed and re-energized.
- So you came to hurt me before you leave? - Yeah.
I came to give you advice, too.
Anyhow, you're running away.
What?
Because things are not going well, you're running away, too.
Your relationship with that editor has ended, huh?
Do you check my background?
I just overheard. Why would I check...
I admit. I'm running away.
But that's better than staying still like you.
Ouch.
What are you thinking so deeply?
Huh? It's nothing.
It's really hot today, huh?
I want to print something out. Can I use it first?
Of course.
[ Applying for the studio: I'm sending my photo. Please confirm. ]
What are you printing out?
An application for the dance company.
Do you want a glass of water, too?
I have no reason to decline.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Are you asking me out?
Yeah, right. I'm sorry I asked.
I'm going to watch a performance.
A dance performance?
Yeah.
It's my friend's debut stage.
You came to watch that.
For this and that.
You really don't hesitate on anything.
I'm envious.
What makes you hesitate so much?
Should I send this or not?
Why did you open mine?
It was open. I closed it.
Anyway...
I'm afraid as much as you are.
But I still need to do it.
I ran away so I can do that.
I'm different from you.
Maybe not.
What did you just do?
You said you were envious because I don't hesitate.
What did you just do?
You wanted a confirmation.
What?
Didn't you need that?
Why do you decide for me?
You seemed confused.
I think you were doubting wanting a confirmation,
- and the problem... - You're wrong.
I hesitated because I'm not sure about myself.
I didn't need someone else's decision...
Thanks to you, I lost my opportunity again.
Oh, hello. Earlier, I was...
Did something happen?
Hello. You found him.
Ah, yes.
He went to get some ice cream nearby.
Thank goodness.
Wait...
You'll watch the soccer game later with us, right?
Well...
Do they know each other?
I think they fought.
You can tell, too?
If you live cautiously, you learn to see those things.
We're back.
You came early.
Hey!
Can we still watch the soccer game today?
Hey, of course.
It's the first game of the World Cup.
Hey!
Do you want to cut your finger off?
Are you acting like this because of that Sunbae?
She's not the one for you.
What do you know about us?
Man...
Is anyone here?
Looks like we have a guest.
Yes.
Who is it?
Please come in.
Do you have a room?
Please come out. We're ready!
Oh, the red shirt.
You came prepared.
Yes.
The game is starting!
The World Cup comes around every four years.
Whose loss would it be, if you don't watch it?
It's the first game of the World Cup.
Park Ji Sung! Captain Park!
Ji Sung party, oh, oh, oh.
Let's watch it together. You came all the way here.

This is the Mandala bay stadium.
In a short while, the game will start between Greece and South Korea.
Yes, everything looks great.
- This is so exciting. - Yes.
Yes, so many came from far away to cheer for our team.
Yes, the players are entering.
We can tell their determination from their expressions.
We're so proud...
What is this?
What's going on?
Man, it just started.
- Is this a blackout? - It's starting.
Wait a minute.
Why isn't this working?
- Did the battery die? - I didn't recharge the battery.
Shouldn't DMB work?
But this doesn't have a DMB.
- Man... - Anyone have DMB on your phone?
Don't we have anything?
Ah, that!
That, that.
What's the channel?
It's on 93.8.
It's coming out.
The Greece continues to attack from the right side.
- Just like that! - Go straight!
- This kind of pass is dangerous. - That's right.
They're not allowing a goal.
I know.
- That was really scary. - It was really dangerous.
The players can't show their nervousness.
Park Ji Sung has the ball...
- Park Ji Sung! - Park Ji Sung! Captain Park!
Oh, my...
Goal in!
- Goal in! - Oh, my!
Park Ji Sung! Park Ji Sung!
Our Park Ji Sung!
Seven minutes remaining in the second half! It's 2:0!
2:0!
Park Ji Sung made a goal today.
He kept his promise.
That's right. That's right.
Oh, what is this?
The light came on.
Clap!
He made a goal.
- That's incredible. - That's beautiful, Park Ji Sung.
Daehan Minguk! (Korea!)
Daehan Minguk!
Here. Let's get together.
Young people can clean up.
Let's divide into teams.
One team can do the dishes and the other team can clean here.
Let's do daedanchi.
Don't you know how to do daedanchi?
This is my first time seeing it.
When I call out "daedanchi," then you do either way, okay?
There's no practice. There.
Oh, okay.
Daedanchi. Top.
Put it down.
Since the kitchen is small, you two can go and do the dishes.
The rest of us can clean up here.
Let's go.
Go inside, hurry.
Let's go to bed early.
That side, too.
I'm sorry for assuming things.
I probably would've sent it anyway.
I would've just dragged it out.
You said you needed to be sure.
I'm still thinking about that.
When you said, "It's not a problem needing a confirmation,"
it helped me a lot.
It was true that I was thinking too complicated.
But it wasn't okay for you to do that on your own.
I want to...
know you.
I want to know you.
That's what I said earlier.
Do you want to go and watch a performance tomorrow?
To College Row?
Are you declining?
If you decline,
it'll be really tough for me to fall asleep tonight.
I think so.
It'll be tough to fall asleep tonight.
I want to know you.
That's what I said earlier.

♫ The unknown nervousness, you pushed it all away ♫
When do you take pictures?
When you don't want to miss out.
When you don't want to miss that moment.
That's when I take a picture.
This is nice!
I don't know who he is, but your feelings for me hasn't ended.
But I was sincere.
Even the kiss.
I tried my best. Is this all I get in return?
You've lost your mind, Han Yoo Kyung.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
The person who called earlier...
I need you.
is the person I'm seeing.
The result of my heart being swayed
is obvious.
