Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
What is it?
Ji Ah, I got you a present.
Wow! A teddy bear!
Thank you so much, Daddy!
It's been seven years since I last saw your face.
I've missed you so much all that time.
More than anything, I'm sorry for leaving you all alone.
I've blamed myself every single day.
That day...
I shouldn't have done that that day.
I think something got into it. I'll get you another one.
You turned out so well, my daughter.
Now that I see you, you look just like your late mom.
For seven years in prison,
I stared at the ceiling every night, filled with regret.
That day...
I should've killed you too.
- Let go! - You ungrateful brat!
After everything I did for you, you reported your own dad?
Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for this day?
You little...
You brat.
Where do you think you're going?
I'll finish what I should've done back then.
You little brat.
Get over here. Get over here!
Stay still, you punk.
The more you struggle, the harder it'll be on you.
Relax...
It's time for you to go meet your mom too.
Do you want a Christmas present?
Then no crying.
You have to be good.
I heard that Santa is very clear about right and wrong.
Miss, who are you?
Leave the living room window slightly open when you get home.
And leave the lights on.
See you again.
Mommy, wake up!
Yul, you're awake?
Daddy, wake up too!
Five more minutes, just five...
No, you have to go to work!
Yul really takes after you, no doubt about it.
Jeez, she's listening.
My Yul, you're so smart because you take after your daddy.
Are you awake?
Really?
Are you so smart because you take after me, Yul?
Yul, come here!
Daddy, get up already.
Oh, my little precious. Come here.
Yul, did you sleep well?
I think we put her to bed too early.
Well, who was it that insisted on putting her to bed so early?
Was that me?
Then our big precious too...
I need to go potty.
- Potty... - Let's go potty.
Come on. Let's go potty.
Let's go! Let's go potty.
The monster's coming after you! I'll catch you!
Let's go! Yul, let's go! Come on!
All done! Let's go!
Daddy! The swings!
The swings!
Well, it's good, right?
Four-year-olds can eat on their own, right?
Yeah.
Go ahead, Yul. Try eating by yourself.
Time for an important decision.
The selfish new look, bought with money stashed away from my wife.
Or the rebellious night out, lying about working late and heading to the club.
Which one?
The rebel look today?
Oh, my! Really?
Wow, my wife is so generous.
When was the last time I went clubbing?
Yul, did you eat it all by yourself?
Awesome! You can eat all by yourself now!
Daddy! Yul finished all her food.
Really? You ate it all by yourself?
That's amazing, my girl!
What time is it? Oh, time to get dressed.
Let's go!
Let's go, let's go! Let's get you changed.
Honey, her P.E. uniform is over there.
Yul, do you have P.E. today?
- Yeah. - That's nice.
- What time is it? - Okay, then,
stand on one foot for five seconds.
Start!
One, two, three, four, five!
Success!
- Success! - Success!
- One, two, three! - One, two, three!
- One, two, three! - One more time. One, two, three!
Have fun with your friends. See you tonight!
- Okay! Bye-bye! - Bye-bye!
Here.
What?
I feel like I had an important reason to get off work early today.
What was it?
Seriously, what was it?
Well, what could it be?
You're not falling for it, huh?
I'll be home early today. For my honey's big day tomorrow.
Oh, stop it.
But if you'd forgotten, you would've been in big trouble.
I really hope not.
Right.
Ms. Yoo Bo Na, have a great day today. And I'll see you this evening.
Alright.
What about what we didn't do earlier?
Now!
I'll get going. Bye-bye.
- Bye! - Me too!
A kiss for Yul too!
A kiss for Yul too! Bye!
Bye-bye!
- See you later. - Have a good day!
- I'll get going. - Yul, I'm closing the door.
Yul, shall we sing the song again?
Yes, yes. Don't run! Be careful, careful!
- Goodbye! - Yeah, yeah.
Take care.
Seo Jun!
Up you go.
Please take good care of him today.
Be sure to listen to your teacher, okay?
- I'll be off. - Okay, have a good day, Ma'am.
- Hello! - Hello!
Hello.
Hello!
- Hello. - Hello!
She always looks so relaxed. It's nice.
- Yul, you're here! - Hello.
Miss, I ate breakfast all by myself today.
Oh, really? You did a great job.
Yul, say hello to your teacher first.
- Give her a nice big bow. - Good morning.
Please take good care of her today too.
Don't worry. Yul seems to have adjusted now.
Totally different from the beginning, she's playing well and doing great.
That's thanks to you. Thank you.
Yul, shall we say goodbye to Mommy today?
Okay. My Yul.
- Today, too, with friends, - Today, too, with friends,
- get along well! - get along well!
- Have a nice day! - Yul, let's go.
Have a good day, Ma'am. See you later.
- Okay. - Yul's mom!
How about a morning coffee for a change?
That sounds great.
Oh, Ye Geon's mom, did you not sleep well last night?
My kid dozed off poorly in the early evening, woke up,
and then couldn't fall back asleep until late at night.
- Oh, dear, really? - See?
I told you, right?
That's why you need to stick to a daily routine.
Otherwise, you'll end up twice as exhausted.
Look at me. No matter how tired I am, I never let my kid nap during the day.
Right, naps...
By the way, isn't Seo Jun's mom amazing?
I saw earlier that she even seemed to forget that today was P.E. day.
I don't know how she manages to work while raising a child.
I'll... I'll go get it. You stay here.
How can you say that after seeing that poor child earlier?
If you can't do both properly, you should just focus on one thing.
Oh, dear.
I just feel sorry for her.
Oh, well.
Thank you!
The latte...
Still, I envy Seo Jun's mom sometimes.
It's hard, but at least she gets to keep working.
I only planned to take a short break, but sometimes I regret staying home.
Me too.
After spending all day dealing with my kid, I sometimes miss working outside too.
Who wouldn't want to keep working?
Is there anyone here who doesn't want to work?
That's why I call it being greedy.
Kids need so much attention at that age.
How can you leave them and work?
Is it really impossible?
Is it really that hard to work while raising a child?
I really hope not...
Why?
I'm going back to work starting tomorrow.
Oh, my.
My parental leave ends today, so I'm going back to work tomorrow...
Wait, you were a working mom this whole time?
How did we not know?
What, so you were just taking a break from work?
How long were you off work?
- One year? - Three years.
