(Family By Choice)
- Hi!
- Hello.
We live on the second floor.
Children should never be hungry. Okay?
Is he your big brother?
- You can have him.
- Hooray!
When I come back, I'll
bring a hamburger for you.
I would like it if you would be my dad.
What kind of assortment is this?
You're all so unfortunate.
We're not unfortunate.
We're all special in our own way.
- The crazy girl?
- Call a school violence committee.
She's not going to apologize.
Why should she apologize?
He took pictures of you.
Could your mom have sent him?
- Mom!
- Pardon?
I'm sorry.
Are you Kang Hae Jun?
I'm
your dad.
I'm your father.
Your father.
(Gymnasium)
(Haedong High School)
(Episode 3)
You look exactly like me.
Where How so?
Don't you know the Namwon
Yang clan signature look?
Large but sharp monolid eyes
with tips that tilt when we smile.
Everyone's eyes tilt a bit when they smile.
I doubt there are many with
attractive monolids as ours.
I see
Did Seo Hyun not tell you about me?
Did she say I was dead or
She said I didn't have a dad.
Does she think she's Virgin Mary?
How could a baby not have a dad?
No, I'm not blaming you.
That's just me being upset.
If only she'd told me about you,
we wouldn't have had to be apart
or reunite like this after 19 years.
Darn it.
You didn't know
Then how did you hear
about me and find me here?
What?
How did you find me?
Well
Oh, dear. Excuse me.
Hello?
Director Kim. I'm in another region.
Yes, I know it's urgent.
Okay, got it. I said I got it.
Sorry, but Dad has to
urgently take care of something.
I'm staying at a hotel in Busan.
Call me here if you need to.
(Global Biz Partner, CEO Yang Dong Gu)
I'll see you again.
See you soon.
(Global Biz Partner, CEO Yang Dong Gu)
I did as you said and said I
didn't know he'd been born.
And he asked how I heard
about him and found him.
You're right.
How did he think to ask
that as soon as he met me?
Is he a smart kid?
Is he like me, then?
Okay, let's hang up.
Goodness.
Oh, well.
What was that about?
Is he for real? Is he your dad?
He was dressed head
to toe in designer clothes.
- Could he be filthy rich?
- He must be.
Are you all right? Shall we take a break?
I won't be okay if we
take a break from practice.
Let's go.
Why are there even more than before? Why?
Why?
Mine too.
Okay. He might not read it.
I know that.
I can't confirm if he read it or not.
I know that too.
It would be nice if he reads
it, but too bad if he doesn't.
Why bother writing to him, then?
If you have feelings for someone,
you want to relay them to them.
Be sure to pass it on.
The mock exam results are in
order of your registration number.
Don't look at anyone else's.
- Shoot.
- Darn it.
(Levels 7, 8, 8, 5, 7)
Did you do well?
That's not important.
Oh, dear.
What's this? Why does it have my name?
Wasn't this meant for you?
What is?
It's a letter.
For me?
(Yoon Ju Won)
It's for me?
It's my name.
It is for you, then.
- What does it say?
- Hang on.
Hi, Ju Won.
I saw you in the schoolyard
at lunchtime one day,
and my heart started to pound at 200bpm.
(My heart started to pound at 200bpm.)
What does "BPM" stand for?
- It says "200bpm."
- What?
A pulse of 200bpm will kill you.
That means his heart
beat so fast he almost died.
Spring suddenly took over my heart.
I decided to let this odd emotion
take over my body and soul,
and so I tell you how
I feel with this letter.
From X who adores you.
What is it?
What does it say?
He gave up his body and soul.
- To you?
- No. To the odd emotion.
Really?
What's his name? Did he put it down?
He called himself "X." Is he in our year?
There's no name?
No.
Hey, that's San Ha.
I should go and brag.
- See you.
- Okay.
San Ha!
Your exam results are out, right?
I'll pick you up from your academy.
Shall we get some tteokbokki?
There's an online class I
want to take before dinner.
Darn you.
You're in a good mood.
- Do you want to know why?
- Yes.
I actually
have something to brag about.
Gosh.
It's worth bragging about?
- You know what it is?
- I do.
How come?
You got your exam results.
Hey.
Darn it.
Go home.
A birth father you never
knew existed showed up.
You'd be a psycho if you could focus.
You did look a lot like him, though.
You both have monolids.
Tell the teacher I went home
because I didn't feel well.
A birth father he never knew existed
(Exam Result)
(23rd out of 25 students)
You wanted to brag about this?
This is an official document.
Isn't it something I
shouldn't let others see?
You had five options to choose from.
You should've scored at least 20 percent.
If there's a first place,
there must be a last place.
We live in a heartless competitive society,
and it's a fact that not
everyone can come first.
There are two others who did worse than me.
Put it away.
Oh, right.
These are for you.
If you have the time to
If you'd read your textbook
in the time you had to do this,
you'd have an average score.
If you have feelings for someone,
you want to relay them to them.
That's an earnest desire.
How can I refuse that? I'm no psycho.
How does it feel to get a letter like that?
Did you get so many
you don't feel anything?
I don't mind reading them
if the punctuation's decent.
You're so cruel.
You're so heartless, so cold.
You care about punctuation
when they wrote a heartfelt letter?
Why are you so upset?
Did you get the letter?
Someone could write to me too.
Who would do that?
I told you I had something to brag about.
I'm shocked you could
focus on something else
when you got grades like yours.
Am I not allowed to do
anything else if I get bad grades?
Hae Jun's grades are rock bottom,
but he has no problem dating girls.
Hae Jun's great at basketball.
Darn it.
It must be great to be special!
Hey, don't.
You could crack your head open doing that!
Sorry.
Let go.
I didn't lean out that far.
It was just a little.
Be more careful.
So, does San Ha know
you got a love letter?
I didn't show it to him.
He'd only nag.
Ju Won.
If you think about it, San Ha's not wrong.
I don't like it much
that only one student
got worse grades than you.
- There are two.
- One plays sports.
Didn't you say I'd be a
good girl as long as I didn't
gamble, drink, or smoke?
Yes, I did. And that's still true.
Dad. Don't you think I reached a
whole new level of washing dishes?
Shall I wash dishes at your
restaurant after I graduate?
What? Why? You won't go to university?
Why go to university with my grades?
There's nothing I want to learn.
What do you think?
Wouldn't you appreciate having my help?
You said you reached a whole
new level of washing dishes.
It wouldn't be fun to continue
doing something you're good at.
You don't know yet.
There could be so many things out there
that are way more fun than washing dishes.
So what if they're fun? It's
pointless if you're bad at it.
Don't you remember?
The time when I made ginseng chicken soup.
San Ha refused to eat it, saying
it'd give him an upset stomach,
and Hae Jun said it tasted like an eraser.
Even if that was the
case, their sister made it.
Couldn't they have at least
acted like they enjoyed it?
You see, there are many fun things in life.
Gambling, drinking, and smoking.
Not doing those things
How should I put this?
It's a passive way of
being a good daughter,
whereas finding what you
want to do and living a fun life
is how you can be a good
daughter in a proactive manner.
Really? I can be a good
daughter by just living a fun life?
Of course! And by staying
healthy. That's the best.
Then why did you give them
maple water and not me?
I only gave them this much.
I only had two bottles. That's why.
They're both high school seniors, you know.
I didn't have a single drop.
Mr. Kim? I didn't give him any.
He doesn't even know about it.
- Really?
- Yes, believe me.
Is San Ha studying at home now?
He's watching a video
lecture. He said not to disturb.
Then ask Hae Jun what
he wants to have for dinner.
I'll finish boiling the dishcloths
and go home to make dinner.
Wait, I washed all the dishes.
Why would you make what
Hae Jun wants for dinner?
You're getting your
three special fried eggs.
He'll say he wants snow
crab doenjang stew again.
Is he practising now?
I am
your
dad.
I'm your father.
If only she'd told me about you,
we wouldn't have had to be apart
or reunite like this after 19 years.
(New message)
(Global Biz Partner, CEO Yang Dong Gu)
(Yoon's Kalguksu)
Hey.
Did you finish your practice?
Why did you come here
instead of going home?
Just because. Let me
No, leave it. I don't want
you to get your hands dirty.
(Yoon's Kalguksu, Welcome)
What's wrong?
The thing is, today
My goodness. Must you coddle him like that?
You won't even let him touch garbage?
He won't even be able
to do anything on his own!
- I'll quickly hang the dishcloths.
- Okay.
(Yoon's Kalguksu)
I must say, the two of you look alike.
How? We don't share a single drop of blood.
Married couples begin
to resemble each other
after living together for years.
You and Mr. Yoon have been
living together for ten years.
Oh, dear. Who knew this would happen?
I feel bad for yelling at him
to send you back in the past.
At least you know that now.
You rude brat!
When an elder is apologetic,
all you have to do is nod quietly!
Okay, fine.
- You little
- My gosh, I heard you.
- You brat.
- Ma'am.
Why
It didn't hurt at all.
You'll trip and fall!
Walk slowly.
So? What about today?
What?
You were going to say something earlier.
Did something happen?
Ju Won asked you what
you'd want for dinner,
but she said you ignored her.
Oh, the practice session was intense today.
I see. You had me worried.
All right.
Oh, I forgot about the fried eggs.
- I want three!
- Yes, ma'am. I know.
- Be quiet.
- I didn't say anything.
- You did, with your eyes.
- What did I say?
"You got some nerve, asking
for three eggs with your GPA."
What? You can read minds now?
Come on. It's nothing new.
Just eat three eggs and ace your next exam.
You're not chiming in?
- What?
- It's your chance to chime in.
Aren't you excited?
Well, it's not like I can
proudly talk about my GPA.
That's true.
Tell me.
What? Tell you what?
I don't know.
I won't know until you tell me.
If Ju Won gets involved,
things will get complicated.
I thought he passed away.
Well, my mom never said that.
I felt a little How should I put this?
He seemed happy and
excited to meet his son again.
I guess I was kind of happy too.
But I feel like I can't be too happy
because I'd feel bad for Dad.
How long have I been calling him Dad?
So after all these years,
if I were to tell him I
found out I had a real dad
Would you be able to say that?
But I'm relieved about one thing.
Shortly after I moved here,
my mom left and cut
off all contact with us.
I tried hard not to show it,
but I kept agonising myself,
wondering what I did so wrong
that she had to abandon me like that.
Mom!
Mom!
But he said that he had no idea I existed.
So, I now know that she didn't
abandon me because she hated me.
Knowing that, I feel
Shall I say it gives me a sense of relief?
Or is it just comforting to know?
Yes, I hear you.
Hey, don't get me wrong.
I wasn't talking about you.
I swear, I wasn't saying your
mom left because she hated you.
Don't overreact.
You're making it sound real.
No, I swear.
But are you sure he's
your biological father?
Isn't he saying you
should get a paternity test?
Come on. Why bother?
If you meet him, you will go
"My gosh. He is Hae Jun's father."
That's how much we look alike,
including the monolids.
- "Monolids?"
- That's right.
Monolids
and elongated almond-shaped eyes like mine.
It's the Namwon Yang
clan's characteristic feature.
I had no idea.
Even so, how could you be sure
just because you both have monolids?
Come on. I'm sure of it.
Why would he lie about it?
Did he look healthy?
"Healthy?"
Well, maybe
he needs an organ for an
organ transplant or something.
Hey! Are you crazy?
What did your aunt say?
I haven't had a chance to tell her.
Besides, my aunt doesn't
know anything anyway.
Are you sure she has
heard nothing about him?
She's your mom's sister.
Why are you suspicious of everything?
Let's go inside.
He's over 180cm tall.
What's the point of being tall if
you're not a basketball player?
I heard he competed in
the Mathematical Olympiad.
No, then he's way out of my league.
What about him? Hasn't he been
coming to our classroom often?
He's dating Jae Eun.
I didn't see you there. Sorry.
By the way, you always
drink strawberry milk.
I only drink strawberry milk.
How does he know that?
- Which class is he in?
- Class Four.
Should I just ask him?
- Can you do it?
- Sure, why not?
Darn it, strawberry
milk is always sold out.
I need to drink strawberry milk to wake up.
- Thank goodness I didn't ask.
- My gosh.
You need to pour your
heart and soul into it.
Be brave.
Hey, you never spend a penny on the game.
You should do that much to earn diamonds.
Seriously, no one comes to mind?
No one.
I just want it to be
someone with a nice smile.
(Haedong High School)
This is like finding a
needle in a haystack.
He didn't even write his
name, which means he's shy.
It was wrong of me to try to find him.
I give up. But instead,
I'm going to go and
brag about it to Hae Jun.
Do you want to come with me?
- Sure.
- Let's go.
(Haedong High School)
Hey.
Auntie must be busy
now. Let's not bother
Just follow me.
Hae Jun isn't here now.
(Haedong Culture Festival)
(Kang Hae Jun)
What? Where did he go
without even telling me?
Just brag about it when
you see him at home.
I can only do it if San Ha isn't there.
That's why I couldn't
tell him in the morning.
Do you want to come
over to my place tomorrow?
San Ha will be stuck in his
room studying all day anyway.
The three of us should hang out.
Please?
(Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power)
I'm here to meet my aunt.
What's her name and
which department is she in?
Manager Kang Yi Hyun in Communications.
One moment, please.
Oh, my. Auntie works at such a nice place.
Oh, Auntie.
Oh, hello.
What brings you here?
I need to ask you something.
What is it?
Seeing how you brought San
Ha along, it must be something big.
(Global Biz Partner, CEO Yang Dong Gu)
You don't know him, right?
The truth is, he came to see me yesterday.
He said he was my biological
father and gave me his business card.
He looks a lot like me.
I think he really is my dad.
Mom never told you anything, did she?
He came to see you?
Yes.
Why?
Did you know about him?
How do you know him?
This man
Can you not meet him?
Auntie.
If you're going to meet him, I
don't want to see you again.
Why shouldn't we meet?
Did you hear something from Mom?
When she was pregnant, I saw them together.
Please stop.
How can I do it by myself?
I really don't want to
come to a place like this.
Let's just stop. Darn it.
Seo Hyun.
Did you bring it?
(Obstetrics and Gynaecology)
No.
She said he didn't know about me.
She said she hadn't told him
she was pregnant with me.
He didn’t even know about my existence.
He was someone
who gave a reason for her to say that.
Both she and I
found out after a long time.
He married the youngest daughter
of a rich family around that time.
It's not even a big deal.
Why didn't you tell me?
What?
Now that I know it, it's all good.
Let's go.
Don't worry. I won't meet him.
Will you meet me then?
Here.
I don't want to drink it.
You need to have some
sugar when you don't feel good.
My arm will fall off.
Go home when you feel better.
Even if it's not Mr. Yoon or
Ju Won, they'll be able to tell
something has happened to
you just by looking at your face.
Did you know this would happen?
I should've known when
you insisted on visiting Aunt.
You uselessly smart punk.
Thanks for the compliment.
Never mind. I won't meet him.
I can just forget it ever happened.
Why?
Tearing it up doesn't undo it.
Then what should I do?
You should find out.
The reason he came to you now
when he pretended he didn't know back then.
Why are they not coming? I'm bored.
Darn it.
Where did they go?
I'm not curious. I'm cool.
I'm not obsessed with their whereabouts.
I don't want to know.
I want to know.
Darn it. Hey.
My goodness.
(Map of Oryun Mansion Complex)
Goodness gracious.
Hey.
Stop it now. We're almost there.
I have no energy.
- What's wrong with him?
- Take him.
- Come on.
- Where is Dad?
He went to a karaoke with the neighbours.
Where did you go?
We met his aunt.
You could just tell me
you were meeting her.
You didn't even pick up your phone.
Why did you act so discreetly?
I wonder.
Dal is coming tomorrow.
Hae Jun and I are going out tomorrow.
What? Where now?
Why do you want to know everything?
Where did you go?
Where are you going tomorrow?
Tomorrow is Saturday.
Darn it.
Dal is coming tomorrow.
Hey, that's great! Why don't
you two hang out together?
It's better when there's
no one in the house.
She's coming to see you.
What?
It's fun with just two of us too,
so imagine how much it'll
be more fun with everyone?
My gosh.
He seemed happy and
excited to meet his son again.
I guess I was kind of happy too.
But I kept agonizing myself,
wondering what I did so wrong
that she had to abandon me like that.
I swear, I wasn't saying your
mom left because she hated you.
How dare he say that?
- Once a daughter, always one!
- Excuse me.
I rather want him to lose his mind!
I rather want him to lose his mind and die!
I'll be in the cram school all day.
So I won't be able to look at my phone.
I'll contact you when it's over.
(Mom)
Let's go.
Dad said we could have
lunch in his restaurant.
He doesn't have to.
Hey, his kalguksu is amazing.
Don't cry and beg to have one
more bowl when you finish it.
- I'm excited.
- Sorry.
I called you because I thought
Hae Jun would be home today.
No. I said I came to hang out with you.
He and San Ha disappeared
in the morning again.
They should say where they're going.
They left me out.
I know.
But don't be too obsessed with it.
Why?
Even if you're a family,
it's suffocating if
you're like that 24 hours.
No,
I didn't mean to say it's suffocating.
It's just a little
They might feel that way once in a while.
Do you think so?
Yes. Because it's their privacy.
Privacy, my foot.
San Ha looks at my report
card without permission.
Dal,
all the snacks you got are so good.
- Right?
- Yes.
Do want to see Hae Jun's room?
No.
You shouldn't enter a room
without the owner's permission.
There's nothing much, right?
(Most Outstanding Player)
So
do you need
some alone time?
No.
Why did he put it here?
He usually doesn't make a mess like this.
He's quite tidy.
He must've been in a
hurry when he went out.
It's probably not a big deal, right?
A big deal? What deal?
Oh, my gosh.
A place like this costs
hundreds of dollars a day, right?
Are you sure this is the place?
Yes.
He told me to come to
the lounge at Heaven Hotel.
Don't let it intimidate you.
If you want to punch him,
I'll cover for you no matter what.
What are you saying?
I'll ask him nicely.
- Do you want my organ?
- What?
What organ?
I'm healthy.
I always eat healthy.
And I never have processed food.
You don't believe me?
Should I show you my
health checkup results?
They said my biological age is in my 30s.
It's not easy no matter how rich you are.
Why did you visit me then?
Of course, it's because
you're my son.
We share blood.
You didn't care 19 years ago.
I heard you cut off contact with my mom
when she was heavily
pregnant without any explanation.
Who said that?
Considering Seo Hyun's
personality, she won't say that.
- It's my aunt.
- Your aunt?
Her? Gosh.
So you brought your
friend to ask me about it?
To have a 2-on-1 with me?
You've grown up to be a more
despicable person than I expected.
A grown-up who says it's unfair
to have a 2-on-1 with teenagers
is more despicable.
Hey.
If you're not asking for
my organ, I don't care.
I hope you never contact me again.
You already cut off our
connection at that time.
I came to say that.
As you can see
Take a seat.
Well
I have money and buildings.
I have everything
but a child.
- So what?
- "So what?"
So
How should I put it? My wife's family
They're asking for money?
They said it as a joke,
but these days, they're more blatant.
They want to divide the
buildings among themselves.
Does it make sense?
Just because I don't have any
children to inherit my wealth,
they're coveting mine
when I'm alive and well.
If you're looking for a
child to inherit your fortune,
there's a good system called adoption.
It's not bad for you, is it?
If you follow me to America,
you can do anything you want.
- America?
- Yes. The United States.
You know it.
America is the best when
it comes to basketball.
NBA. Michael Jordan.
What are you talking about?
It's still fun to play basketball in Korea.
- Why?
- Will you make him pay?
Hey.
You
Darn it!
Stop it. You're kicking up the sand.
It's the worst.
It's worse than I thought.
He should've asked me for my organ.
- Will you give it to him?
- Why would I?
My organs are precious.
My goodness!
How long are you going to do this?
People are watching.
I understand your mother.
But why didn't your aunt tell
you anything and let it happen?
She didn't tell me because
she cared about me.
There's something you don't
have to know in the world.
It's your business. There's
nothing you shouldn't know about it.
- She had good intentions anyway.
- How are you sure
good intentions lead to good results?
She thought you wouldn't
be able to handle the truth.
You're not entirely wrong.
- Don't tell Dad and Ju Won.
- About what?
How much of it?
That your birth father showed up?
Or that he's rich?
- All of it?
- But why?
- They don't have to know that.
- Were you even listening to me?
- Please?
- Whatever.
Come on, don't tell them. Please?
Don't tell them!
- Thank you.
- Thank you. Bye!
Kalguksu?
Are you here to eat at my restaurant?
I see. Please come in.
This way.
Have we met before?
Gosh, no.
I see. No, right?
The way you're staring at me made
me wonder if I had met you before.
I could say you did a lot more than that.
You've been raising my
son for the past ten years.
Your son?
I am
Hae Jun's father.
Gosh, excuse me.
I put in more than you would expect.
Expect that?
Goodness.
This is unimaginable for me.
Raising someone else's son.
It's not as easy as it sounds.
Right?
I didn't think of him
as someone else's son.
I put in twice the amount
my lawyer calculated.
Well, I wanted to talk it through with him.
But it seemed like he
couldn't be reasoned with.
My gosh, I can't believe he made
me come all the way out here.
Did you meet with Hae Jun?
Yes.
He will be an adult next year.
I thought talking to him would
be a faster way to sort it out.
I want to leave Korea by the
end of this year at the latest.
He needs to change his last
name and get a new passport too.
That will take months.
What
I just met you.
What's this about leaving
Korea and changing his name?
He has his mother's last name.
Now that I'm in the picture,
he must take my last name.
He must have my last name on his passport,
so he can get an immigration visa.
Immigration?
Did you say immigration?
So you're taking Hae Jun
- to another country?
- Yes.
What did Hae Jun say?
Well, the guardian has the right
to decide where a minor stays.
But still. He's in 12th grade now.
This is an important time for him.
He must want to have a say
in this. You can't suddenly
Goodness.
I told you I was generous with the amount.
You're a greedy one.
Fine, I get it.
I'll give you a bit more. Think
of it as consolation money.
Consolation money.
No, listen. That's not what I meant.
Right.
The guardian decides
where the minor stays.
I'm his guardian now.
Gosh, come on.
So this is your strategy?
Well. Yes, for now.
Come on. You're unbelievable.
Isn't this a break time?
I'm talking to a customer now.
Come back later.
I'm sorry, Dal.
Hello.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
The vibe was off in there, right?
Yes. Do you not recognize him?
No.
San Ha!
Hey.
You're here too, Dal.
Hello.
Can you two go to the restaurant?
- Why?
- A strange man is there.
- You should go and see.
- Who?
I don't know who he is.
But Anyway, something felt off.
I'm tired.
Me too.
He didn't even know he had a
dad. And his birth dad showed up.
Monolid eyes!
He had monolid eyes, but his eyes were big.
I
I think you sort of resemble him.
Darn it.
Darn it. Hey.
Hey, what's going on?
What about his monolid eyes?
Darn it.
Dad!
Hey.
He left.
You just missed him.
What?
Hey. Did Dal leave?
Do you want some ice cream?
I bought the ones you like.
So you met him.
Why didn't you tell me?
I'm not scolding you or anything.
If you had told me, I would have
No, never mind.
I'm not blaming you.
And it's not your fault.
So your father
isn't me.
Your birth father
Your birth father
wants to take you with him.
Is that so?
You're his son, so of course, he
must want to take you with him.
I understand that.
And you
I mean, he's your birth father.
If you want to go with him
But if you want my opinion on this,
I don't want you to go.
You're
You're still in high school.
Until you graduate from high school,
I can
cook for you.
I can iron your school uniform.
Gosh, don't listen to me.
You can do what you want.
But
But I want to do that
for you just a little longer.
I was afraid
you might tell me to leave,
so I wasn't going to tell you.
You know,
I was supposed to stay here
just until my mom came back.
But
instead of my mom,
my birth dad came back.
So I was afraid that you
might tell me to leave.
I was scared.
I was just scared.
No.
I would never ask you that.
I'm sorry.
(Yoon's Kalguksu)
It's okay.
His birth father?
Yes.
Gosh, so he has a father!
- That's great.
- Great?
Even if he wants to take Hae Jun?
Will he?
Isn't that obvious?
Right.
Would you be okay if his
father took him away from us?
He's not going to leave, right?
He might. I mean, it's his birth father.
Then what about my dad?
What will happen to my dad?
Even now, he's so anxious
that Hae Jun might skip a meal.
What about my dad? He can't leave.
Maybe, he can see his
birth father from time to time.
Like he sees his aunt from time to time.
- So he can't leave?
- No, he can't.
Never?
Never.
Why are you crying?
Come on.
Don't come near me.
Gosh, no.
Thanks.
Darn it.
Come on.
I'm sorry. Are you all right?
Why would you leave this here?
I'm sorry.
My apologies.
It's fine. There's always
that one awful customer.
Mom, when will we go and see my brother?
Very soon.
- Very soon!
- So Hee, you might fall.
You might fall. Let's go together.
What will you do now?
If he wants to take Hae
Jun, I'll hire a lawyer.
Luckily, the restaurant is under my name.
Kang Hae Jun, the 19-year-old
boy, gets scared very easily.
The moment he wakes up,
he looks for his dad and
snow crab doenjang stew.
To Hae Jun, his dad is the best cook.
But at the thought of losing the best cook,
the 19-year-old boy, Hae Jun,
ended up crying.
That's enough.
- The 19-year-old boy, Hae Jun
- Stop it.
He said he was sorry.
It wasn't fair that I had to go around,
looking for him while being
clueless about what was going on.
Why were you looking for me?
Right. Why was I looking for you?
It was definitely
more important than this silly thing.
Right! Hold on.
You know that she's the
weirdest one among us, right?
Exactly.
Imagine if we had told her from the get-go.
She would have gone to
the hotel and visited my aunt.
We could've saved a lot of drama, though.
You told me I was sharp.
You're only book-smart.
I told you to stop
bringing me their letters.
It's not yours. It's mine.
"Yoon Ju Won." You see? There's my name.
How is that more important than my problem?
Who sent that letter to you?
I don't know.
I'll start dating now.
I'll date.
Let me see. What if it's
one of those scam letters?
Come on. Let me read it.
Give me that.
Goodness.
Yes!
