You said you'd protect me.

You said you'd help me go to college.

You said to be in the band together.

Hey, Ha Eun Gyeol, where the hell are you!

Am I...

back, then?

Mom! Dad! Hyung!

Dad! Hyung!

Why are you being so gross?

Where's Mom? Where is she?

She'll be late after hanging out with her friends.

She told us boys to figure out dinner.

What are we having?

Ramen.

Ramen? That sounds amazing.

What's wrong with him?

It's so good.

Dream? What kind of dream?

A dream in which I met Dad in 1995.

1995?

It's when I was 18, then.

Yes. The same age as me.

I was your tutor

and I was in your band, too.

I went to the Snail Boarding House, too.

I even met Great-grandma, too.

How about me? Didn't you meet me?

It was before you were even born.

What was I like in your dream?

I was cool, right?

Cool, my foot.

Do you know how much I suffered because of you?

You refused to study

and you made Grandma upset.

- Se Kyeong, where were you? - You said Mom was your first love,

but you were chasing after another girl.

What? Another girl?

Is that really true?

Mom would get so upset if she found out.

No, no. Your mom was everything to me.

She was my first love.

It's Mom.

I'll ask her myself.

Don't do it. Don't.

I don't want to. I'll tell her everything.

Mom!

You were all together.

How about dinner? Did you eat it?

If you go back now,

2023 will be much different than when you left it.

Do you still want to go back?

No way.

Eun Gyeol, what's wrong?

Are you sick?

Gosh, I guess you didn't know.

Everything started changing the moment you arrived here.

- Eun Gyeol? - No.

What's wrong, baby?

It's Mom.

No, no, no!

What was that? What happened?

Where am I?

It's 1995?

Jinsung Instruments' chairman, Yoon Geon Hyeong?

Take this. You'll catch a cold.

That girl from then?

You can't be running away, right?

How strange.

He'd call me if he were running late.

You'll be connected to the voicemail.

Yi Chan, it's me. I can't seem to reach you.

I'm going home now. Call my house when you hear this message.

You almost bumped into me there earlier, right?

- Se Kyeong? - My goodness.

Are you okay? Did you get-

B-Blood.

Is it from bumping into me earlier?

My goodness.

Hold on, hold on.

Where are we going?

Why are you taking me somewhere dark?

Hold on.

Cheong Ah? Yoon Cheong Ah.

Yes, Cheong Ah. Let's talk instead. Let's talk.

Where are we going?

Violence isn't the answer.

Yi Chan?

Yi Chan! What happened?

Help!

Someone passed out here! Is anyone there?

Is something going on?

Please call 911 now. Someone passed out here.

Okay, I-I'll call.

Yi Chan. Ha Yi Chan.

Wake up, please!

Open your eyes. Yi Chan.

S-Se Kyeong.

S-Stop shaking me.

My headache is killing me.

What? Are you awake now?

Do you recognize me?

What happened?

Can you get up?

Who are you?

No matter how much I looked, all I found was dust.

I couldn't find out anything about you.

Who the hell are you?

You have no belongings

and you have no ID, either.

Oh, my bag.

You weren't even a real contestant for the audition.

Well, let me explain what happened.

I went to the audition due to a situation, and I found the invitation for it.

But a staff member mistook me for a contestant.

- Are you a spy? - Pardon?

You're an industrial espionage from Daemyeong Instruments, right?

Or are you trying to scam me?

Or are you trying to blackmail me or something?

Looks like you aren't interested in believing me or listening to me.

Just imagine however you'd like. I'll get going now.

Where are you going? Sit.

Sit!

I spent so much money and manpower to steal you. Why would I let you go like this?

Do you think I brought you here because I like you?

Because of you, tons of reporters were at the hospital, and the company's image might suffer.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'll get going because I'm in a hurry.

If you really want to leave,

sign this memorandum.

Memorandum?

What for? I'm the victim. Why-

Look at him. Look how he's calling himself a victim already.

Wow.

You'll leave pretending to be innocent, and you'll make up stories

and come after me eventually.

Demanding compensation.

Happy now?

- Make sure to get it notarized. - Okay.

Huh? You're...

I'm sorry.

Yoon Cheong Ah.

Yoon Cheong Ah?

Mom.

Mom!

Mom, it's me, Eun Gyeol!

Let go of me. I need to check something.

Let go of me, I said.

Hey, stop!

Let go, let go of me!

Mom! Mom!

What's all the commotion?

Well, he kept calling Lady Cheong Ah "Mom" and insisted on checking something.

Crazy bastard.

I'm done dealing with him. Get him out of here.

Are you crazy?

The deal is off. I won't leave this place.

- Hey! - Try kicking me out.

I'll barge into the office right away.

I'll meet with the chairman and face him directly.

Are you serious right now?

Hey.

Hey, get up.

Stop putting on a show and get up, you bastard!

Hey. Hey.

Hey!

Hey!

They definitely called Mom "Lady Cheong Ah" earlier.

That means this is my grandparents' place,

Chairman Yoon Geong Hyeong is my grandpa,

and that annoying bastard is my uncle?

How strange.

She definitely said she doesn't have a family.

Why?

Why did she say that?

Get us cold drinks.

Yes, Ma'am.

Okay...

You came.

Hello, Ms. Im.

My mom doesn't like seeing you and Attorney Jang together, Oppa.

Sang Ah, go to your room.

Okay.

What did you do this time?

M-Mom, the thing is...

That guy who got electrocuted the other day-

I told you to behave until the Chairman comes back!

Gosh, get out of my face.

I'm not even surprised anymore.

Did you get into a fight again?

What's this now?

What's with that reaction?

How suspicious.

Did you steal this?

Is that why you got all bloody?

Is it a limited edition?

Thank you. I'll enjoy it.

Hey!

Let go of me!
