Under The Gun (언더더건)

You seemed to be in a bad mood, so I just wanted to check in on you.

It's nothing.

Tell me. What's going on?

My dear daughter, you're hurting my feelings here.

I'm your biggest cheerleader, Se Young.

From the moment you were born until now.

Mom.

There's this boy I like.

But the thing is,

he keeps thinking stupid thoughts.

I had no other intention.

I just wanted to help improve his situation.

That's why I did it.

But he...

He looked at me with sad eyes, as if I hurt him.

And that really broke my heart.

If he cares for you too,

he must know how you feel even if you don't tell him.

You see, love can throw you off balance sometimes,

but it can also help you find a greater balance in life.

That's life. It helps you grow as a person.

You might think love is all sunshine and rainbows,

but a love that breaks your heart is also love.

It means you truly love the person...

and care for them.

I don't know who he is, but he's one lucky guy.

My daughter loves him this much.

Defendant Ko Gun, please come forward.

Even though you are a minor,

you frequented an illegal gambling den...

to engage in illegal gambling activities,

and you also worked there.

This violates the Game Industry Promotion Act...

as well as Article 246.1 and Article 247 of the Penal Code.

Mr. Ko.

You may give your closing argument.

"Your Honor."

"I am Defendant Ko Gun, who is being tried for illegal gambling."

Around 10pm on August 21, 2022,

"I was arrested at an apartment in Inje-gu..."

"for engaging in illegal gambling activities."

"I deeply regret what I did."

I will make sure this never happens again.

This statement I wrote...

won't show you my sincerity.

I swear...

I never gambled.

Your Honor, even if I were to be faced with the same situation,

I would make the exact same choice.

Picking up cigarettes as an errand boy and getting beaten up.

I did those things to pay my sister's hospital bills.

I couldn't find any jobs that paid better.

I knew it was wrong,

but I had no choice.

Even so,

I sincerely regret what I did.

I promise you that I won't do it again.

We received...

many petitions from your school.

Mr. Ko.

Even if you didn't do anything you should be ashamed of,

it's important to live an honest life.

I'm very sorry to hear about your sister's situation,

but one wrong choice...

can completely destroy your future.

Never forget that.

I will announce the court's decision.

Mr. Ko...

did violate the Game Industry Promotion Act,

but considering that he has no previous record...

and that he is still a minor...

as well as his circumstances,

the court sentences him to 100 hours of community service.

Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you so much.

Son!

My gosh, this is nuts. - It's crazy indeed.

I knew it.

What will happen to him now? - Will he go to juvie?

I have no idea. What is he going to do?

I knew he would...

This is nuts.

My gosh. A high school student participating in illegal gambling?

He's got some nerve. - Yes, indeed.

What's that?

How come the atmosphere suddenly changed when I walked in?

It's nothing.

What is it?

I knew it. - What will happen to him now?

I have no idea. What is he going to do?

Seriously, what's he going to do now? He's doomed.

This is crazy.

Be quiet, all of you.

You guys.

You're only interested in gossip.

Have you ever shown concern for your classmate, even just once?

Shouldn't you at least ask him if he's okay, knowing what happened?

And you guys think you're his friends?

Anyone who says mean things...

or spreads false rumors...

will pay for it.

If you hurt him, I'll teach you a lesson. I don't care who you are.

Let's go. - Go where?

Come on. Let's get out of here.

I'm hungry.

Yesterday, you left as if you'd never see me again.

You frustrated me so much yesterday.

I felt like I was starting to hate you.

But today...

Today, what?

Today, I'm back to liking you.

What are you, really?

What do you mean, what am I?

Hurry up and eat something...

so you can perk up.

Hey.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why? You really don't know?

Because I like you.

My mom told me...

that love could throw you off balance sometimes...

but that it could help you find a greater balance in life.

I don't really get what that means.

You dummy.

Because of you, I'm all out of balance right now.

But thanks to you,

I'm in the process of finding a greater balance.

Hey, where are you going?

I have somewhere to be.

The Hold'em pub?

Se Young. - Yes?

I said a while back...

that fate...

was like taekwondo or the piano.

It's nice to have, but you can live without it.

Then you said,

"You can't live your life if you think like that."

You know very well...

that I can't afford to think about stuff like that.

I'll go my way now.

You should do the same.

Gun.

I realized once again...

that I shouldn't get greedy.

Get greedy for what? - You know that you and I...

were given very different starting lines.

Gun, what are you talking about? - Cha Se Young.

Thanks for everything.

I'll be off, then.

How could you leave without listening to what I had to say?

Why is it that you always take off after saying what you need to say?

They say fate finds those who can withstand the weight of life.

I'll be your fate,

your destiny that finds you because you're too busy to come to me.

I'll go to you,

so... - Se Young.

All you need to do is...

You don't need to do anything.

Just like me back, please.
