12 YEARS PROMISE
EPISODE 12
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Let me ask you one thing.
Do you think it was right for you to slap my son's face?
Why was my son the only one who got slapped?
Are you telling me that you want to slap my daughter as well?
Wait. If I'm to blame for my daughter's mistakes,
maybe I deserve a slap as well.
That's not what I'm saying.
You're saying my daughter's to blame.
It takes two to make a baby, doesn't it?
Guk is not that kind of girl.
And Jun-su is that kind of boy?
You don't suppose a 19-year-old girl seduced a boy first, do you?
Yes, I do.
What?
She went to a boy's house without adult supervision
to watch a soccer match. That's a bit dangerous, don't you think?
I can't help but think she had an ulterior motive.
What ulterior motive?
Well...
Jun-su is the son of your landlord.
And he's tall, handsome and naive.
So he was taken advantage of?
That's what it looks like to me.
You think I'd sell my own daughter's body?
Then let's put an end to this,
so that we won't have to see each other again.
Are you suggesting an abortion?
That's up to you.
I don't want to have to see you over this ever again.
Shouldn't we each just do what's best for both our children?
Vice Principal? What a waste of a title.
I will not let my daughter marry into your family.
You think I want my son marrying a girl whose family runs a dumpling shop?
Are we done here?
We're done.
Please move out of our building as soon as possible.
Oh, right. We'll cover the moving expenses.
Yes. I did the right thing.
I did the right thing.
Why did you get so many?
You said you wanted it.
I can't finish them all.
Save them for later.
You said you can't eat much these days.
Is there anything else you need?
No.
If you need anything, let me know. I'll get it for you.
And give this to Hun.
Okay.
Here.
Yum. It's sweet.
Yum.
Why are you smiling?
Because you're smiling.
Do you like it when I smile?
"Hakuna matata."
Have you seen The Lion King?
Yeah. It means no worries.
Yes.
"Hakuna matata."
"Hakuna..."
"Matata."
"Hakuna matata."
Welcome.
Isn't that Jun-su?
-Where? -There.
Wow. He's gotten hotter.
Who's the country girl he's with?
Whatever. Who cares?
You're paying.
Okay. How much is it?
-This one. -Excellent choice.
We'll take it.
How much is it?
It's last season's, so I'll give it to you for $5.
I'll wrap it up for you.
It's fine.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Isn't it pretty?
It is. Should I put it on you?
No, no.
Are you embarrassed?
Yes.
-Let me do it. -It's okay.
Let me do it. Come on.
Let me see.
Wow. Even prettier.
-Me or the necklace? -You.
Let's go.
-Thank you. -So long.
You should go, Jun-su.
I'll walk you to your place.
You've seen my mom.
She might break your legs.
Oh, right.
These are the handouts from today's classes.
Look them over and call me if you have any questions.
Okay.
Call me when you get home.
Okay.
And text me every hour.
I'll text you whenever I miss you.
Don't smile at every girl.
I won't.
You're mine now.
Okay.
-I want you to do something for me. -What?
I want to hear you play the Irish whistle.
Okay. I'll play it for you tonight.
Okay.
Go first. I'll watch you as you go.
Okay.
You need to take these.
Thank you.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like. I'll get it for you.
Okay. I'm off now.
See you.
I'm going.
Hey, Ju Da-hae.
How are things at school?
Are you still top of your class?
Just leave me alone.
What are you doing here anyway?
How's Jun-su doing these days?
We saw him on our way over.
Why are you laughing?
Curious?
Leave me alone or I'll whack you like a mole.
I know you got dumped, but don't take it out on me!
I saw Jun-su with some girl.
We all saw it.
They looked so good together.
Jun-su looked really hot.
She stole him from you?
Shut up!
-I know how you must feel. -What do you know?
Wow, Ju Da-hae.
Being book smart doesn't make you love smart.
You're a thug who doesn't know a thing.
Isn't this strange?
Even though you're acting tough, I just feel sorry for you.
You got ditched by your dad and by Jun-su.
Since I know how much that sucks,
I'll give you a free pass today.
It's like your heart's being stabbed by an ice pick, right?
I know how that feels.
Let's go.
Hey, Eun-sil.
I'm going to make that girl suffer.
Call me. That sounds like fun.
Can you make it happen?
Me?
Why should I?
Down payment.
I'll double it once the deal is done.
If you get caught, I'm staying out of it.
I'll deny everything.
Wow.
Hey, girls. Ju Da-hae knows how to do business.
You don't want it?
As if.
This is a designer wallet. When do you want it done?
As soon as possible.
Where?
How should I know? I'm just an innocent bystander.
Take your student ID. You're just an innocent bystander.
I'm scared too.
I wish it were me instead of you.
It's killing me too.
But we have no other choice.
No.
No? You're going to have the baby?
You think that'll make anyone happy?
They're our landlords.
They won't welcome a girl from a family who runs
a tiny dumpling shop.
I don't care.
I care. You're my daughter.
I don't want to.
This isn't about what you want or don't want.
It makes me mad as well, but--
It's my baby.
You think I want my son marrying a girl whose family runs a dumpling shop?
Please move out of our building as soon as possible.
I'm home.
What took you so long?
Did you see that girl?
Yes.
Did you just say "yes"?
Given the circumstances, is it appropriate for you to see her?
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
Stop doing things that you have to say sorry for.
Also, it's unbecoming of a man
to apologize so easily.
Mom, I know how you feel, but Guk is preg--
Enough!
I don't want to hear another word out of you.
-Guk? -Mom.
Don't ever mention her name in front of me again.
Don't you know I'm doing my best to hold back right now?
This is killing me. It's so upsetting.
It's breaking my heart.
My head.
Jun-su.
About Da-hae...
Yeah?
What's going to happen with Da-hae?
What do you mean?
Didn't you used to like her?
We're just friends.
You said you liked her.
Yeah. I like her as a friend,
not as a girlfriend.
You know she has feelings for you.
I'm worried about her.
There's more to her than meets the eye.
Jun-seong.
I have too much to deal with right now.
I'm starving.
-I'm so hungry. -It's taking forever.
Is it ready?
Coming right up.
Oh, my gosh. Why is he so slow?
Here you go.
-Where's our pickled radish? -Pickled radish.
When will our kimchi dumplings be ready?
They're coming right up.
Could we have some water?
I'll get you some water.
Here you go. Your kimchi dumplings will be ready soon.
-Water please. -What about kimchi dumplings?
Should we get some to go?
-Would two servings be enough? -Good idea.
Mom.
Are you okay?
You said you were sorry, right?
Yes.
Then do as I say.
Do you know what I'm going through?
If I could protect you,
If you could go back to how you were,
I would gladly give up my own life.
Why would you say such a thing?
I'll take care of it, Jun-su.
I will.
Let me take care of everything.
It'll be like the whole thing never happened, so...
just do as I say, okay?
No.
What?
I know it makes you angry, but Guk--
I told you not to say that name in front of me!
Mom!
Don't talk back to me. Don't talk back to me!
-Don't talk back to me! -Calm down, Beom-suk.
Oh, my goodness.
-You stop it too, Jun-su. -You pathetic fool.
Come, Beom-suk.
Are you studying?
Yes.
Your mother's not home yet?
No. She wasn't here when I got back.
Sit down.
Did you get to see Jun-su?
You knew, Grandma?
What did he say?
He told me to let him know if I needed anything.
What's that?
Banana milk.
Is it good?
Do you like Jun-su that much?
Yes.
You just wait then.
There will be good news.
Would you like bibimbap again?
No. I'd like fried rice, Grandma.
-Fried rice? -Yes.
Okay. I'll make it for dinner.
-For you. -Thank you.
What?
Have you heard anything?
About what?
From that widow, idiot!
Heo Se-min, pay back the advance!
You filthy scumbag! You son of a--
Figure it out yourself!
Mr. Heo.
Isn't this Mr. Heo's number?
Hello?
I'm sorry, Ms. Choi.
I was a bit upset earlier.
Don't be. I'm sorry to bother you. I'm sure you're busy.
Do you think we could meet for a bit?
Is something wrong?
I'll explain when we meet.
-You're later than usual. -Yeah.
-Welcome home, Dad. -Welcome home, Dad.
Where's your mother?
She won't leave the bedroom.
Have you had dinner?
Jun-su and I ordered food.
-What about cram school? -I'm about to leave.
-Do you need a lift? -No thank you.
-Run along then. -Okay.
Are you sick?
I'll take care of everything, so pull yourself together.
How do you plan to do that?
Why are you drinking by yourself?
Mr. Heo.
Oh.
A bottle of soju and a glass please.
Yes, sir.
I think you've had enough. Maybe you should stop.
I'm fine.
If I don't drink today, I feel like my heart will explode.
This is better than dying from a busted heart, right?
Is something wrong?
-Let me do it. -Thank you.
Is this the second time we've gone drinking together?
Yes.
What do you think of me, Mr. Heo?
Excuse me?
Why do you look so startled?
You must think I'm stupid and naive.
I don't think that.
But I am.
I don't know how the world works,
but I never asked for much either.
I met my husband and had a daughter and a son.
I just wanted to raise them well.
It's very unlikely for a husband and wife to die together,
but I hoped that we could've spent more time together,
to share life's burdens for a while longer.
But sadly, my husband died already.
I thought that all I had left to do
was to raise my kids well.
Just let me cry tonight.
Here.
Pour me another glass.
I think you've had enough.
It's because I need courage.
Okay.
Is there something you'd like to discuss with me?
Yes. There is.
This is money.
It would take all night for me to tell you the whole story.
And it's not something I'm proud of, so I ask for your understanding.
I need to know what this is about.
We...
My family has to leave the dumpling shop.
Please help us, Mr. Heo.
We need to vacate our shop.
My pride won't let me stay there...
But I have no other choice.
I don't know much about business.
I'm going to trust you and start new.
Please help us.
Excuse me. I need to use the restroom.
Sure.
I'm sorry.
I should go home.
I'll drop you off.
It's $15, ma'am.
Marriage?
Are you saying that we should let them get married?
Jun-su needs to take responsibility.
Responsibility? For this unfortunate accident?
Beom-suk.
Don't get me more upset.
Even if you insist, I won't let that happen to my son.
I understand how you feel, but we can't just avoid--
Yes, we can.
-It's not easy for me either. -I'm taking the easy way out.
-It's my fault for not raising him right. -How is that our responsibility?
Fine. I'll take the blame for not raising my son better.
But they should suffer equally for not raising a better daughter!
I'm sure that family is full of worries because of their daughter's state.
You only care about their family?
Can't you see
how enraged your wife is?
I won't allow it.
I met Guk and--
No. Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.
So what do you suggest we do?
My child is Jun-su.
We should each do what's best for our own children.
Is this how you're going to be?
What did you do when Su-han said he was getting married?
Jun-su is your son.
Fine. I'll make a generous concession.
I'll consider Jun-su and Su-han equally important.
Put your foot down with Jun-su like you did with Su-han.
You came between Su-han and the love of his life
because you wanted him to marry someone better.
But you don't care about who your son marries?
What's the matter with you?
They're in love.
Love comes with responsibilities.
Don't you know that?
This marriage will never happen.
That woman said she won't let her daughter marry into our family anyway.
Did you...
Yes. I went to see her.
I had to put an end to this.
Don't tell me you told her
to move out of our building.
I did. Of course they have to leave.
-What? -And we decided
to do what's best for our respective children,
so all you and I have to do is worry about Jun-su's future.
Pyeong Beom-suk.
Are you all right?
Thank you. I'm rather tipsy today.
I should go.
Okay, get home safely.
Good night.
I saw that movie too.
Yeah. I like the song too.
Yes.
Jun-su.
When did you start learning to play the Irish whistle?
When?
Jun-su.
Nothing.
She's so in love with him. What do I do?
What are we going to do?
Honey, what should I do about our dear Guk?
I'm home, Dad.
Did you get to see Guk?
No. But we talked on the phone.
You could've called her from here.
Marry her.
You two should get married after the entrance exam.
Tell Guk. I'll talk to her mother and--
Jeong-han!
Does my opinion mean nothing?
I will not allow Jun-su to get married.
How can you... How can you just ignore me like that?
Just go to your room.
Yu Jeong-han, I'm your wife and the mother of your children.
He's not getting married without my consent. Understood?
He can't get married without my consent.
Take your hands off me.
You'll ruin Jun-su's future with this.
Do you want your son to become a married man at 19?
Jun-su has to go to college and also study abroad.
He'll be able to meet beautiful, talented, capable girls in college.
He'll never get a chance to date them.
Is that what you want for him?
You know this is our best choice.
Just let it go.
You think I'm doing this out of my own personal greed?
Marriage?
Is marriage some kind of joke to you?
I won't let my son go through with this.
I have big dreams for my son.
I raised him like a prince
because I wanted him to live in comfort.
I won't let him get married over a single mistake.
You know what I'm saying, right?
I'm going to tender my resignation.
If I don't make the decision now,
Jun-su will live a life of regret forever.
Why? Why you?
We can't bury this issue simply because we don't want to deal with it.
It's Jun-su's baby.
You think if we ignore this issue, it'll just go away?
Even if we do as you say, we'll still have to deal with this.
What'll happen after the baby's born?
It'll be Jun-su's baby.
Will you be able to deny the existence of your grandson forever?
Do you think you can do that?
I said I could.
Why don't you believe me? Why don't you believe me?
Remember how much you adored that baby, Mu-hui?
This time, it'll be Jun-su's baby.
You think you'll be able to ignore your precious son's child?
Stop it. Stop it.
Stop it! Please just stop!
Why? Why my son?
Why my Jun-su?
Other kids get into trouble too.
They get into all kinds of trouble but walk away from it unscathed.
So why can't Jun-su?
Why is this happening to us?
Why our son?
What did I do that was so wrong?
What did I do wrong?
What am I supposed to do?
What did I do wrong?
Why is this happening to me?
Why to my son?
Jun-su. Jun-su.
Why? Why?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Why are you calling so late?
Focus and listen carefully.
You're such a nag. Go ahead.
Get my uniform back.
Where is your uniform?
The uniform Jang Guk wears is mine.
Who's Jang Guk?
That girl Jun-su was with!
Oh...
She's wearing my uniform and impersonating me.
Do whatever it takes to get it back.
-Is that it? -Yeah.
You have to find my uniform and get it back to me.
Nothing else will work.
Whoa.
She wore my uniform and seduced Jun-su, okay?
Did you have this hard of a time because of Hamy?
Do you need something?
No. You should sleep in your bedroom.
No, it's too stuffy in there.
Thanks.
That dirtbag.
You dirtbag!
Hey, dirtbag!
Stop right there!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay?
Hey!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Stop there!
Don't follow me.
Stop right there!
Stop!
Oh, come on. Stop chasing me.
Stop right there, scumbag!
You dirtbag!
Darn it.
Why did you have to chase me down?
Why did you have to run away?
So you did it.
Give it back.
I wasn't planning to run away.
Okay, fine. Give it back.
We'll split it 60:40.
-I'm the one in charge. -You must be joking.
Don't come any closer.
Give it back. I said, give it back.
Swear that you'll stick to the original plan.
I swear. I swear.
Swear on your dead sister's name.
You little...
You can't do it.
You don't plan to split it at all, do you?
That's right. I didn't even count it. I'm going to return it.
-You have feelings for her, don't you? -What?
Don't make me beat you more. Just give it back.
I'll pay you back the advance.
Up yours, jerk!
Hey, hey!
Money turns a good man bad. Don't come any closer.
Hey, hey.
Let's not take it this far.
I'm sorry, I'm desperate.
Where did you hide it?
Take this.
Oh, man.
Hey, Jun-su.
Guk.
What is it?
My dad gave us his blessing.
What?
He said we can get married after the exam.
Grandma.
Are you going to school?
We can get married.
Mr. Yu said we can get married after the entrance exam.
He did?
Thank you, Vice Principal.
What did you just say?
Guk and Jun-su
can get married after the university entrance exam.
That's ridiculous. There's no way.
It's true.
Who told you that?
Jun-su did.
So are you happy?
Of course she is.
I'm not happy at all.
His mother said it would ruin her son's life.
Do you think she'll be happy about it?
Go-sun.
You never know when they'll change their minds.
Vice Principal Yu would never do such a thing.
I don't care. Either way, I'm not happy about this.
What are you doing in your uniform?
She has to go to school.
The exam's four months away. How will you hide your belly?
Just forget about school. It's all over for you, okay?
Mom.
Is that really something you should say to your own child?
It's true.
What's the point? She'll have to take a semester off eventually.
She's not going.
That may be, but let her go today.
-Give me your backpack. -It's fine.
-I'll carry it for you. -That's okay.
-Let me carry it. -Come on. Let's go.
Stop it.
-I'll carry it. -I'm fine.
-Are you sure? -I'm sure.
How's it going, friend?
I just wanted to hear your voice.
I'm here too, Mu-cheol.
Do you like your job?
It's not easy to earn money.
It's an endless struggle. How are your studies going?
What do you think?
Where do you work?
Why? Are you going to stop by?
Yeah. Just to say hello.
I'll text you the address. Bring Jun-su along.
Okay.
Take it easy. We'll see you soon.
Okay. See you.
-I'll carry it for you. -It's okay.
-Come on. Let me carry it. -I'm fine.
-Then I'll carry outside. Promise? -Okay.
Hi, Da-hae.
Did you get home okay yesterday?
I need to talk to you. Are you busy?
I'll just head home by myself.
Okay. Be careful.
Okay.
What is it?
Not here.
Just answer me.
What's going on with you and Guk?
What do you mean?
You were doting on her all day and feeding her.
Was I hallucinating?
You know I have feelings for you.
-I told you I could wait-- -Don't wait, Da-hae.
Do you like Guk?
Yes, I do.
-As for you and me-- -Stop it.
I don't want this to come between us.
I do like you,
but only as a friend.
See you.
What do you want?
It's no big deal. Calm down.
-Do you need money? -No. We need your uniform.
What?
If you just take off your uniform, there won't be a problem.
Why should I?
Do you have a change of clothes?
It's just us here. Take off the uniform, change into this and leave.
Do you know me?
Jang Guk?
Who are you?
You think I'll tell you?
Don't make me yell at you or hurt you.
This is ridiculous.
You can't just ask someone to take off their uniform.
You're being a real pain.
Why are you asking so many questions?
Just do as you're told.
Have you lost your mind?
I guess we can't settle this with words.
What are you guys doing?
-Why are you doing this? -Take it off.
At least give me a reason.
Take it off, okay?
-Hold still. Take it off. -Leave me alone.
-We told you to take it off. -We told you to hold still.
Take it off.
Hold still.
Hey! Hey!
Farm girls are as strong as cows.
Don't just stand there! Go and get her!
Stop right there!
Darn it.
Hey, stop!
We told you to stop.
You're dead meat.
Stop right there! Stop right there!
Stop! Hey, stop!
Stop right there!
Get her!
What's taking the delivery guy so long?
Where are you?
How many times do I have to tell you? Next to the gas station by the church.
I'm outside now, so hurry.
Man, I'm starving.
Is he flying it in from Hong Kong?
Stop right there!
Stop!
If you don't stop, we'll kill you!
Here. Right here.
There we go.
Finally.
Oh no.
What happened?
Is she badly hurt?
She came out of nowhere.
Are you kidding me?
Hey, wake up. Hey.
Guk. Guk.
Hospital. Hospital.
Get me to a hospital, Jang-woo.
Okay. Let's go.
Help me, will you?
12 YEARS PROMISE
Guk's at the hospital. I can't get a hold of her.
-Go back to your room! -Please let me go!
No.
I have to tell Jun-su!
I have to tell him it wasn't my fault!
I have to tell him!
You're just a tenant in our building. How dare you hurt my family?
Jun-su's not coming. He can't come.
Is Yu Jun-su there?
He went on a trip with his family.
Jun-su!
Nice to meet you.
My name is Yu Jun-su.
