Basketball (Bbaseukket Bol / 빠스껫 볼)

I have no intentions of forcing you to have feelings for me.

But I'm going to...

continue to show you how I feel about you.

So that you won't forget.

With the utmost gratitude...

to the Empire that brought an undeserving person like me to this position...

With utter conviction and of my own volition,

I vow to help defeat all our opponents.

You did great.

You have a great stage presence.

No, you're too kind.

You'll have a lot more of those opportunities from now on.

Opportunities that you haven't had before.

To motivate you even further, I'd like to give you a small gift.

Tell if whatever it is that you'd like.

Then...

May I ask you for an advance?

An advance?

I have a single mother.

Since my father passed away...

she's suffered through so much so that she could take care of me.

I'd like to get a small house... so that I could live with my mother.

I see.

- Look into some housing for him. - Yes, Sir.

For ease and comfort...

a modern home would probably be better than a traditional Korean home.

Give me back my brother!

I said, give me back my brother! Give him back to me!

- Give me back my brother! - Bok Joo!

Give me back my brother! I want my brother back!

- Bok Joo! - Bok Dol!

Sorok Island? How can you drag him there!

Let go of me right now.

Why are you acting like this?

This is so that we can help your brother heal from his disease.

There's a hospital that specializes in curing leprosy in Sorok Island!

There's never been a single person who's ever

come back alive after being dragged there!

Seriously... you're so frustrating!

Your friend Kang San is the one who told me to do this!

What?

He told me to have your brother taken to Sorok Island

so that your brother could get treated for leprosy.

Bok Joo! Bok Joo!

Bok Dol!

Bok Joo! Bok Joo!

I promise that I'll come for you!

I promise that I'll come for you.

Is it me or Min Chi Ho that you're dating?

Bong Soon.

Bong Soon.

Bong Soon.

Bong Soon.

Bong Soon.

Is my name coated in honey or something? Why did you wake up a sleeping person?

I was having such a nice dream.

I'm sorry.

I have something that I want to talk to you about.

I...

Min Chi Ho and I...

we kissed.

What?

I said, we kissed.

Min Chi Ho and I kissed.

Did you just say... Min Chi Ho?

And not Kang San?

How could this be?

Oh my.

Did you make a move on him?

What do you mean, did I make a move?

He's the one... who kissed me.

Oh my goodness.

What do you think about it?

What about you, My Lady? How do you feel about it?

It felt different.

When San and I kissed...

my mind went completely blank, and my heart felt like it was going to explode.

I felt tingly all over, and I felt like I was going to burst.

But with Min Chi Ho, it was just...

It was just?

It felt comfortable.

- Comfortable? - Yeah.

Like I was kissing my brother.

Oh my goodness... comfortable? How humiliating!

Bong Soon... what's wrong with me?

What do I do?

Go see Kang San first thing in the morning,

and tell him that what you did was wrong.

What do you mean, what I did was wrong? What have I done wrong?

You still don't get where your heart is leading you?

You have to go to the one who feels like a man to you, and not a brother.

Go to Kang San right away and grab onto him

before things get even more complicated.

And don't go anywhere near Min Chi Ho again. You understand?

Don't forget, okay?

You're going to make up with Kang San, not have another fight with him, okay?

Don't fight with him even if Kang San acts a little brusque towards you

but think of him as a piece of china, and treat him with kid gloves.

Understand?

I wonder if it really is okay for me to let you go see him without me.

Don't worry.

Hello.

I was worried that I might miss you.

Were you heading out somewhere?

As far as wedding rings are concerned...

these rings in front of you are the most popular these days.

I don't know which one of these would suit my future daughter-in-law best.

Is it okay if she tried on some of these rings?

Yes.

What is it? Do you not see anything that you like?

No, it's not that.

Shall we go somewhere else?

I'm sorry to say this...

but I didn't know that wedding plans would be going this quickly.

Hasn't your father told you?

He told us that he wants to have the wedding before your brother goes off to war.

Your father even gave us the wedding date.

Is Chi Ho... aware of this too?

How can you expect me to abandon my name?

No, I won't change my name.

How could you have changed my name?

A promise... is a promise.

I've agreed to change the names of all the Min family members.

How could you of all people agree to do this?

Do you think that you're the only one who feels this way?

You're my son.

Just like the way you wanted to protect that girl...

all I'm doing is trying to protect you.

You've wasted your efforts.

What did you say?

My name is Min Chi Ho.

The leader of left winged people, Min Tae Shin's son, Min Chi Ho.

I'm going to protect my name.

As your son...

I'm going to make sure to protect my name.

Kang San is not here at the moment.

Again?

Just why does a basketball player have

so much to do other than playing basketball?

Well... I'm not sure. I think that...

I think he went to Bumingwan or whatever for some sort of a ceremony?

Did you just say, Bumingwan?

Thank you everyone for all your hard work.

What's your deal?

- You weren't fired? - Come on, guys.

Who would fire this Lee Hong Ki?

I got caught by my mom for going to the rally, and got a beating for it.

And then... the coach gave me a beating too.

Ah... I even had to write a letter of apology too.

My wrist is killing me.

That's what I thought.

Okay, guys... what can I do?

What should I start with?

You're safe.

Of course, I'm safe.

It's not like I did anything that wouldn't keep me safe.

I was worried about you.

What a joke. You're nothing but a traitor.

How can you even call yourself a man?

If you made a promise, then should keep your promises.

I knew from the beginning that you were good at lying...

Who the hell are you?

I'm Lee Hong Ki.

Who are you?

You two don't know each other?

I thought that you both lived in the same neighborhood with Kang San.

Ah, that's right! Hong Ki!

You've changed quite a bit.

When have we ever met?

What do you mean, when did we ever meet? I haven't seen you since you graduated.

That's right.

You're having a hard time recognizing me too since it's been so long, aren't you?

I've never met you, Mister.

Who's he?

- A high school classmate. - Classmate?

You're saying that he knows who you really are?

Everyone gather around!

Everyone gather around.

You all know that today is a very important day, right?

- Yes. - Yes!

The Secretary Commissioner will be here too,

so make sure you don't make any mistake.

Yes, Sir!

Hey, Kang San.

You've been put in charge of escorting the Secretary Commissioner's wife.

You're the representative of our team today.

Do a good job.

- The Secretary Commissioner's wife. - He's totally on his way up the ladder.

Shin Young.

Have you been waiting for me?

I have something to tell you.

You're Choi Tae Yong?

Yes, Sir.

You have chiseled good looks.

You take right after your father.

Okay.

How does it feel to fight for the Empire as a citizen of Joseon?

I'm honored by the grace of the Empire.

I will become a soldier that you can be proud of out on the battlefield.

You sound like Je Gook's son should.
