Red Balloon (Ppalganpungseon / 빨간풍선)

Mom, don't get the wrong idea.

Darn you.

How dare you two?

Aren't you afraid of your punishment?

How could you have an affair with your friend's husband?

Call Ba Da.

My daughter, Ba Da.

Mom!

Mother.

What?

Mom!

Ba Da.

Mom, it's me.

Mom, open your eyes.

Mom, open your eyes.

Mom!

Mom, are you all right?

Can you see me?

You...

What's wrong, Mom?

Mom!

Excuse me.

My mother had heart surgery at this hospital...

I already told them.

We should move her to the ICU and observe her for any changes.

Over here.

Oh, no.

What's going to happen to my mom?

Why did she faint like that all of a sudden?

Was she shocked or something?

How did you know she had passed out?

Were you two together?

Yes. Well...

We met in front of the apartment complex.

I was on my way home with burgers for Mi Poong and your mom.

Mi Poong and Chun are having a sleepover today.

I didn't know.

Cha Won had gotten off work, so we were saying hello.

Then your mom came out all of a sudden and fainted.

It would've been worse if Cha Won hadn't checked on her right away.

That's a relief. And today was especially cold too.

What if my mom was alone when she passed out on the street?

You have part-time work, right?

You should go. Thank you for helping us today.

No. I'll stay here with you.

It's okay.

There's nothing we can do now.

By now, I know what the doctors will say.

She's right.

I think you should go.

Okay.

Ba Da, call me if anything happens.

Don't be nervous.

We can get our story straight.

She can't call both of us liars.

You should go home.

Both of us don't have to be here.

I'll stay with you.

You might have to take my place later.

So you should go home and rest up for now.

I'll call you if anything changes.

Okay.

Let's switch after I get some sleep.

What is it?

I was worried you'd be having a hard time,

so I wanted to see you before I left.

I'm fine.

I told you how I felt earlier.

Tell me how you feel now.

How I feel?

I don't want anything.

Knowing how you feel is enough for me.

I don't mind...

living in the shadow for the rest of my life.

I won't get married.

I won't date other men.

I'll just run errands for Ba Da and take care of Mi Poong.

Seeing you will be the joy of my life.

I'll always stay in my spot.

So you can see me when you turn around.

I won't ask you for anything.

I can't say anything,

do anything,

or make any promises.

I hope you can understand my situation.

I can't give you a clear explanation...

of my feelings right now.

I just want to let myself...

flow with the river.

I can understand that.

I don't want you to be miserable.

Just as I've done up till now,

I'll love you on my own...

and treasure you on my own.

At least, you know how I feel now.

That's enough.

Darn you.

How could you have an affair with your friend's husband?

You... - What's wrong, Mom?

What brings you here at this hour?

It's not morning yet.

Well,

I was worried about you.

You didn't get any sleep, right?

I got some sleep in the lobby.

How's Mom? Is she awake?

Not yet.

I'll stay here.

You should go home and get some sleep.

No.

Cha Won also wanted to come, but I told him not to.

When Mom wakes up, she'll ask for me first.

I should be here.

Right.

I'll stay with you then.

Give this to her and end it...

before Dad finds out.

Someone will come and pick this up later.

You can hand off this box.

I made some bibimbap.

Get up and have some food.

I don't want any food.

You're afraid to be on your own after a divorce.

But you're furious to forgive him.

You must be going through a hard time now.

You should sue that girl.

After the adultery law got repealed, people started filing lawsuits.

What was that called?

With a lawsuit, you can get a lot of money for alimony.

But then again, your family is already rich.

You wouldn't want more money.

You must be so upset.

I heard that girl was 20 years younger than you.

Goodness. You can try all you want, but age is one thing you can't beat.

Aren't you going to eat?

I'll take it with me if you're not going to eat.

The sesame oil smells amazing.

Here.

Did your son-in-law end it?

Sometimes, men tend to lose their way.

Be the bigger person and forgive him.

Then he won't do it again.

I heard you went skiing and camping.

How did you know that? - What?

I just had a feeling.

You've never cheated on your wife, right?

Do you want my honest answer? - Why else would I ask?

I have to spend money if I want to meet women.

I didn't have any money.

When I started making money, I didn't have the time.

Now that I have some time,

I've gotten old physically and mentally.

So I have no desire.

I have neither the passion nor a woman who likes me.

But when it comes to my inner thoughts,

I can't say I'm free from any infidelity. What about you?

I've been keeping things low-key. A few flings.

Since you never crossed the line, you're not guilty?

Right.

You must have been grocery shopping.

Not even a hello from you?

Forget it. - Take this inside.

Let me take care of the trash first.

See you later.

Call me anytime.

Do you need to talk?

Things are pretty bad at the house.

I feel bad for his daughter.

She can't even divorce him.

Getting a divorce isn't easy. They have kids.

Rich people are more reluctant to get a divorce.

I heard the company couldn't function without the husband.

That's why it's crazier.

Age is the biggest weapon women have.

And her weapon is not the same as the girl's weapon.

That girl got the newest missile.

And the wife got the outdated submachine gun.

I wonder who she is. I would love to see that face of hers.

You should go.

Come home quickly. I'll be done soon.

Okay.

Is the owner not here?

Over there.

You're older than I thought.

I know we never met. But don't take it personally.

What you did was wrong.

You can't wreck someone's marriage like that.

How could you come to work as if nothing happened?

Yes. I'm almost there.

I can just take Eun San's belongings, right?

I put the money in the box.

Hold onto it.

Once Eun San calms down, give it to her then.

Even if she calls or visits you,

send her back and don't give her any hope.

Please do that.

She's too young. So she doesn't know anything.

You shouldn't encourage her as you're older.

Hey. I'm not here to pick this up.

Dad.
