(When My Love Blooms)
We stopped.
- Call for help. - Are we in a tunnel?
- We stopped. - Oh, no.
I need to hurry.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the train will stop briefly due to a generator issue.
We will start as soon as we complete the inspection.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
It's raining. I have to find my daughter.
My daughter must be cold because of the rain.
Ji Young.
Honey.
We're going to the department store to get my watch fixed.
Should I pick up their strawberry cake?
My dad's office called and said I need to hurry over.
Still, I need to hurry back. I'm sorry.
(Stop)
Ji Su.
Excuse me.
No.
Why won't it open?
I need to go.
Please. Please open the door!
It's...
It's because I was too late.
I said I'd go home early.
Mom...
Please open the door.
Please.
Ji Su.
I can't remember.
I remember...
every little detail of that day...
but...
I can't remember...
Mom and Ji Young's faces that I saw for the last time that day.
Ji Su.
Ji Su!
(Episode 10)
I hoped it would be the ER.
I prayed that they were in the ER,
that they were alive.
I prayed over and over, but...
We're going to the department store to get my watch fixed.
Should I pick up their strawberry cake?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Ji Young.
We're going to the department store to get my watch fixed.
Should I pick up their strawberry cake?
As you please.
Hurry up. Dad will get mad again.
Okay.
Look at that brat leaving without even looking at us.
I'm going to forget what you look like.
Mom.
Ji Young.
Mom.
Mom! Ji Young! Yoon Ji Young!
Mom, look at me.
Mom, please turn around and look at me just once.
Ji Young.
Please look at me just once.
Just once.
Please let me see your faces.
Please, just once.
I have that same dream every night.
In that dream, I keep calling my mom and Ji Young,
but they won't turn around to look at me.
I wish I had seen their faces more often.
Ji Young said she was going to forget how I looked.
I wish I had looked at their faces,
and told them I loved them every single day.
I have changed so much.
What if they can't recognize me?
I miss them so much.
What if I can't meet them again?
That's what I think every day.
How can they not recognize you?
I'm sure they've been watching over you every single day.
They probably saw your gray hair too.
Your little sister would say, "Look. Ji Su has gray hair."
Ji Young and your mother...
probably laugh together and worry about you...
discussing what they should do to help you.
They'll scold me for worrying about them...
when I already have enough to worry about.
Harshly.
You see, Jae Hyun,
I think that maybe...
I haven't moved away from that day, not by a single step.
Must you though?
That day may not be a place that you must pass through,
get away from,
or move away from.
Deep wounds lead to deep longing too.
You feel pain because you miss them greatly,
and that pain makes you miss them even more.
It's not about how to endure it,
but how to embrace it.
So if you keep trying to face and look into it,
you could remember the faces of your mother and Ji Young...
someday.
Did you do the same?
To borrow Dong Jin's term, "indubitably."
I talked big, but I still have a long way to go too.
I'm halfway through, I guess.
My... My daughter... Please help me find my daughter.
What? Stop it.
- Gosh. What's wrong with him? - Please help me find my daughter.
Ji Young.
Please help me find her...
Please help me. My daughter...
My wife and daughter must be in there.
- Pardon me? - Please help me find my daughter.
Have you been told that they're in the ER?
They must be here.
They must be hurt... They must be lying there injured.
I'm sorry. Please excuse me.
Please help me find my daughter.
(Emergency Medical Center)
The person you have reached is not available.
Hey!
- What are you going to do? - Let go.
Our moms were talking. We don't know if it's true.
I don't care. I'm going to kill him.
- Wait, Joon Seo. - Joon Seo.
I said I didn't like you from the moment I first saw you.
I wish you were dead! Just die already!
What now? What is it this time? What did I do that was so wrong?
Everything about you is disgusting.
Both you and your mom are disgusting!
Why are you badmouthing my mom? Why?
Because all of this was your mom's fault!
I was waiting for you to come.
The two of you arrived together. That's great.
Joon Seo.
Young Min.
Young Min hit Joon Seo again.
This is why I told you we should take action back then.
One who commits petty crimes will later commit bigger crimes.
People say that for a reason.
Are you all right, Joon Seo?
Are you?
What happened?
Young Min.
Look at me.
Will you really not tell me?
Do you want me to forget it like last time?
Then I can't help you this time.
Last time, I promised...
I wouldn't let it happen again.
Are you...
mad at me?
None of them will say why they fought.
Above all, the most important fact is that Young Min...
hit Joon Seo first.
Why they fought is more important than who started it.
Ms. Kim.
Are there any students who were with them or saw them fight?
Tell us.
I heard you two were there.
If you don't tell us,
you will also be summoned to the school violence hearing,
and it'll go on your records.
Who hit whom first?
Joon Seo...
I mean, Young Min hit him first.
There must have been a reason.
Because we heard that Young Min's mom and Joon Seo's dad...
have a thing going on...
Young Min.
I found out everything.
I know why you wouldn't even look at me.
It...
breaks my heart.
I'm hurting too.
Is what Joon Seo's mom said true?
Young Min.
I don't know how this might sound to you.
I'm not sure if it'll make you even angrier...
or make you feel a little better.
I'll tell you a story about me from a long time ago.
Joon Seo's dad...
was my first love.
Only the two family members...
who didn't get along were left.
Dad.
Where are you going?
They're gone.
They're gone forever.
That's nonsense.
My dear Ji Young is not gone.
If you say nonsense like that again,
I'll kill you!
What brings you here?
Aren't you coming back to school?
I'm going to drop out.
I understand how you feel,
but you don't have to drop out of school.
Take some time off, and when things are sorted out...
My dad has been dismissed.
He was investigated for abuse of authority and taking bribes.
and he confessed everything during his interrogation.
I feel like...
my dad is not living, but dying.
That department store is only five minutes away from home.
Every day, I feel like my dad may die.
That's why I'm planning to leave here.
What about Jae Hyun?
Thinking of the moments as pretty as the flowers...
will give me...
the strength to go on.
Sorry and thank you,
Jae Hyun.
(To Jae Hyun)
Found you.
Yoon Ji Su.
(To Jae Hyun)
(Thinking of the moments as pretty as the flowers)
(will give me the strength to go on. Sorry and thank you, Jae Hyun)
I can't find her anywhere.
They moved out of their house too.
She dropped out of school too.
Young Woo.
Didn't she say anything to you?
No, she didn't.
Then what about that girl?
Ji Su's closest friend. The engineering student.
You mean, Hye Jung?
Do you think she doesn't know either?
I wouldn't want to see anyone if I were her.
When I think about Ji Su, it makes me want to cry,
but she should've endured it together.
Why did she up and disappear?
That means wench.
I'm going to keep looking for her...
until I report back to the base.
But once I go back,
please keep looking for her for me.
She must be suffering enormously alone.
If something bad happens to her,
I don't think I can go on.
I was healthy mentally and physically,
but there was nothing I could do for her.
The person who was my world was falling apart,
but all I could do was watch from afar.
So all my life,
my heart ached and it tormented me.
Do you understand how I felt?
But I always hoped and prayed that she was doing well.
Then I met her again by chance.
She was still hurting as much as she was back then.
So my heart ached as if I had been transported...
back to that time.
But you have Mom.
I think...
I had no choice but to leave.
Ever since that day,
I felt like...
I didn't deserve...
ordinary joys of life...
like loving someone or being loved.
You're so small,
but I gave you such a big burden.
I'm sorry, Young Min.
- Hello? - Hello.
This is the nursing home.
Is this Mr. Han Jae Hyun?
Yes, how may I help you?
Mr. Yoon Hyung Goo's daughter isn't answering her phone.
He left the nursing home and hasn't come back.
His mother is a tough cookie.
Everyone else will bury everything and bow if it'll help their child,
but she will not.
She's despicable.
That's in her blood.
I made sure the records say...
it was Young Min's fault, not Joon Seo's.
But I'm nervous about what Young Min or his mom will do.
They can argue all they want. They don't have proof.
That's true.
Anyway, if he breaks school rules...
and causes big trouble,
don't you have the authority to expel him?
Yes, I do, but...
Even if we have...
the school violence hearing, expulsion is the harshest reprimand.
And middle school students are rarely expelled.
I'm worried that people will talk.
Who cares? It'll die down quickly.
People these days aren't interested in other people's business.
That's true. They are not.
Okay then. I'll contact you once it is done.
Okay.
(Intersection Market)
You weren't answering your phone.
I guess it was off.
The nursing home called.
Your father left and hasn't come back.
Do you know where he may have gone?
It's raining, so he probably went there.
Why are you here like this again? You're breaking my heart.
What if something bad happens to you?
Ji Su.
Isn't it such a relief though?
At least they found Mom and Ji Young.
I heard many people were never found.
We should be grateful.
Still...
I...
miss them so much.
Me too.
Do you have some time?
You said you wanted to know...
why I left, right?
It was definitely not your fault.
I knew that for sure,
but I felt like I'd resent you.
If it weren't for you,
I wouldn't have left that day without even looking back.
Mom and Ji Young wouldn't have gone there at that hour.
They would've stayed home with me and had a nice family dinner.
I resented myself again and again,
so I would've needed someone else to resent.
That would've been you.
I thought I'd keep resenting you...
and maybe end up even hating you.
We'd hurt each other...
and end up hurting more.
But this time, Young Min was hurt.
It isn't your fault this time either,
but I feel conflicted.
I thought maybe you didn't talk to your son properly last time.
I know his mom is influential,
but a son usually fears his dad.
I thought those things...
and hit myself on the head.
Once again, I was being stupid...
and resenting you.
I'm making the same mistake...
as I did 25 years ago.
That's why...
The kids are hurt physically and emotionally,
so they need time to heal.
Maybe we do as well.
Okay.
You may be right.
(Homeroom teacher)
Hello?
Yes. I understand.
They're probably going to hold a school violence hearing.
Mom.
Do you still feel guilty toward me?
Yes.
Then...
will you let me do what I want?
Yes.
With all due respect,
don't go back on your word this time...
no matter what anyone says.
Yes.
Are they holding a school violence hearing?
Of course.
He dared to hit my son, not only once, but twice.
I won't forgive him this time.
What will you do?
I'll publicly humiliate him and have him expelled.
But I hit him too.
Tell me. Is what you said yesterday everything?
What do you mean?
Did he just hit you out of the blue? For no reason?
It wasn't for no reason.
He said it was because I disrespected and teased him.
That's fine then. Eat up.
You can say your piece at the hearing.
Why did you...
Young Min wanted to say something to you.
Young Min.
I will listen to both sides fairly.
If I decide based on only one side,
it would be favoritism.
I know you only believe what Joon Seo says.
What do you mean?
When did I only believe Joon Seo?
I did not hit him first, but I got angry...
and hit him back, which was wrong.
So I will accept my punishment.
That's why we're holding a school violence hearing.
I won't accept any punishment from the school.
The school did nothing for me...
while I was suffering from school violence.
That's why...
I will withdraw from school.
Yes, cry.
You can cry.
I know exactly how you feel.
It's okay.
Does this make me a middle school dropout?
I'm a college dropout.
I know you like me, but you didn't need to copy that.
But Young Min,
you could've just transferred. Why did you say you'd withdraw?
I felt like that would end it faster.
That way, it would be less hard on you.
Don't you hate me?
I was angry that the rumor was with Joon Seo's dad...
of all people.
I'm sorry.
It may sound insincere because I say it so often,
but I'm really sorry.
So what will happen now with Joon Seo's dad?
Will you not see him...
if I say I don't want you to?
Hey.
I heard that kid dropped out. Did you tell him to do it?
He dropped out?
I guess it was his mom.
She left on her own before he got kicked out.
Isn't that a bit cowardly?
What are you getting at?
I'm saying the divorce that you want won't be that simple.
Can you dump your precious baby...
and raise someone else's?
Dad. Do you remember Young Min?
Hello.
It's okay.
It's a Saturday.
It would've been nice if Jae Hyun could've joined us.
He goes to the office on Saturdays. You know he's a workaholic.
I don't mean anything bad.
I intentionally didn't tell him you were coming.
I wanted to talk to you alone.
Is something wrong?
Jae Hyun will do anything for you.
Since he likes you a lot,
if you say you like me,
I don't think he'd leave me.
Something...
is going on between you two.
Please stop him, Mother.
When did you come?
Why are you sitting here alone?
Is something wrong?
What's going on with you?
Seo Kyung asked me to please stop you.
You said you saw her again.
Did something happen with her?
It's not like I don't know how you've lived,
so when I think only about my child,
it's only right to tell you to get a divorce.
But when I think about your child,
I can't get myself to say that.
What got into you? You never greet me at the door.
Were you drinking?
After calling my mother here?
I finished saying what I wanted.
But given your response,
I guess even the Mother lifeline was ineffective.
It's between us.
There's nothing she can do.
That's nonsense.
I'll do everything I can. I'll ask everyone for help.
It's a shame that your father passed away long ago.
He would've taken my side.
Now, you need to decide.
I can't.
How could you decide something like that so easily?
Nothing was ever easy.
I had to put everything on the line each time.
(Bada Music Academy)
- Bye, Yoo Bin. - Have a nice day.
- Is she your friend? - She's not my friend.
Are you here for the academy?
She doesn't go to the academy.
I don't, but I play better than you.
Don't make me laugh. How can you play...
- if you don't go to an academy? - I can play.
You don't even own a piano.
Still, I can play.
Then do you want to try?
Ms. Yoon.
My mom says to come home and eat.
Okay. Goodbye.
Have a nice day.
Byul, how do you know how to play this?
Did you really never learn?
Can you play something else?
Did you really never get piano lessons?
- No. - And you can't read music?
You can tell how to play it just by listening?
Yes.
Do you want to go to the academy?
My mom says we don't have enough money to even survive.
If you come around this time, I can teach you for free.
But I have no money.
I'll teach you for free.
It's because I want to hear you play.
Go on in.
Ms. Yoon.
Thank you.
(For rent)
I know you're busy, so I'll ask just a few questions.
Kwon Hyuk Soo's suicide...
five years ago...
was due to the company maliciously breaking up the union.
And you are named in the complaint as being at the center...
of the incident.
Do you agree with the complaint?
That is not true.
Okay. I agree with you.
The documents submitted with the complaint...
set forth only accusations...
and no proof other than the fact...
that you were the head of Strategy and Planning.
The union was illegally broken up.
Pardon?
What I meant earlier was that I was not involved.
I wasn't denying the destruction of the union,
in other words, Hyungsung's illegal labor practices.
Five years ago, Hyungsung Steel...
strategically and maliciously destroyed the labor union.
And...
that was the direct cause of Kwon Hyuk Soo's death.
Mr. Han. Do you understand...
what weight your statement carries and what circumstances...
will result therefrom?
I know that very well,
and I've prepared thoroughly.
Are you looking for that old man?
I wonder why he isn't here.
This is a notice of dismissal of the case...
from the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.
"No culpability."
"Case dismissed."
What does this mean?
It means either...
there is insufficient evidence to prove Han Jae Hyun's guilt,
or it doesn't constitute a crime,
so he can't be punished.
Then...
what happens now?
There's nothing...
we can do legally.
He's a dirty-handed, thorough jerk.
Hyuk Soo.
My poor Hyuk Soo.
I can't go on living.
I can't live like this, sir.
I don't think I can live like this either.
I know you possess...
a lot.
The entire nation knows that.
I mean, I also know how you obtained them.
So I will never accept anything from you.
I heard you adore your son.
I guess not.
I'm doing this for my son.
And please stop having me followed.
It's illegal.
I will report you to the police.
Your father is bedridden,
and I feel bad for what happened to your mom and sister.
That's why...
I didn't show you...
even a sliver of my power and what I possess.
I'm sorry, but I don't care to see it.
Don't give me a carrot or a whip.
Please don't do anything.
All of them are illegal threats.
(Murderer, Hold Hyungsung accountable for brutality)
I'll confirm for you...
what Han Jae Hyun did.
You kept your promise after 25 years.
You're so right.
It doesn't taste the same as back then.
It was really delicious then.
It's probably because you were really hungry.
No.
It's probably because...
you've changed.
I'm happy that you were released and won't go to jail,
but I'm not sure...
what's real...
and what's right.
And I know that elderly man protesting...
in front of the office building.
I've helped him in the past too.
Did his son...
really die because of you?
It's a long story,
but conclusively, no.
You may not believe it because of the things I've done,
but I won't lie to you.
This is a big pain in my side,
so if you'd wait a little,
I'll tell you the entire long story.
I can't do it now though.
(Jae Hyun)
Jae Hyun.
I need to hear it.
That long story.
Yoon Hyung Goo's daughter came by this afternoon.
She's a feisty one.
Unlike her dad,
she's impetuous and spiteful.
She made me wonder what I should do to this puppy...
who needs to learn her place.
- Mr. Chaiman. - I said to sit already.
I was looking into Yoon Hyung Goo...
and found something I needed to tell you urgently.
What is it?
It started with my father.
I got a call when I was in the army...
that my father had taken his own life.
He was framed for betraying his colleagues...
who were like family to him,
and a corrupt informant who led the way in breaking up the union.
He was tormented because that's what everyone believed.
Unlike the labor representatives...
who always screamed "strike" whenever they opened their mouths,
there was one who tried to listen to the company.
That was him. He was the perfect patsy...
to meet our needs.
Things went smoothly because he was a virtuous man,
and the labor union was dissolved.
Thereafter, we negotiated a downsizing with the new union...
So? What about it?
He reported the company for illegal labor practices...
to the Prosecutors Office.
We stopped it back then.
Yes. The prosecutors manipulated the case,
and framed him to be the reason...
for the union's dissolution and layoffs.
Therefore, the members of the dissolved union...
and all the laid-off employees...
ended up pressing charges against him.
So all the cases against the company were dismissed.
Only he was indicted for illegal union dissolution.
Not long thereafter, he committed suicide.
We just found out that the man was Han Jae Hyun's...
father.
It was the loneliest wake and funeral in the world.
(When My Love Blooms)
If anyone were to blame for what happened to my father,
it must be me.
I hear Yoon Ji Su's son assaulted Joon Seo.
What are you getting at?
I don't know how to fight nicely.
I'll tear you to pieces and win.
Let's end this.
I don't want to repeat...
the most painful mistake.
I must become happy.
