[This drama is purely fictional and is not associated with...]

[actual people, organizations, locations, or incidents.]

[It's the final match of high school men's basketball teams.]

[The match between Serim High School and Baejin High School]

The ball goes to Hong Dae-young now.

Number 11, Hong Dae-young, gets buckets.

If he joins the professional league,

the basketball field will definitely head to a new course.

You know that scouts are coming today, right?

Yes.

There's a scout from Hankuk University too.

You'd better bring it. Your life depends on this game.

I'll play how I always play.

Hong Dae-young did not make the free throw.

-Get a grip. -It looks like he's quite nervous

as this is a big game for him.

What's wrong with you today?

[I Am a Proud Student of Baejin High School]

Focus!

Who's that beautiful girl?

She's your girlfriend.

Yes, she is.

That's my girl.

What took you so long?

What's wrong?

What?

It's nothing.

Something did happen.

Dae-young.

He's calling you. You should go.

Jung Da-jung.

Today's game is important.

Just focus on your game first.

No.

If you don't tell me what it is, I won't play today.

Tell me.

Now.

-Dae-young! -What are you doing?

-Pass it! -Hey.

-What's going on? -Hurry.

-Pass the ball. -Hey.

-What's he doing? -Hey.

-What are you doing? -What is he doing?

Da-jung!

Dae-young.

No.

You shouldn't have come.

No.

This is my decision.

Don't cry.

You're my future.

And our baby is my future.

So

just trust me.

Don't cry.

It's all right.

[our story stopped here like an ending of a movie,]

[...the reality is a series of open-ended stories.]

[The unexpected misfortunes don't even surprise me anymore.]

Secretary Jo, how many people must I rescue today?

[I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly.]

Secretary Jo, I must save the people.

Get the suit ready.

[My apologies. I'm not sure if I understood you correctly.]

Secretary Jo, I don't have time to joke around.

People are waiting for my help.

[I'm not sure if I understood you correctly.]

Secretary Jo.

I should take this with me today.

He's crazy.

I am so grateful that you're letting me stay here.

But can you please take off that tin on your chest?

When will you grow up? Goodness.

I understand that you got kicked out and things aren't going well.

But I cannot take off my heart.

Oh, my.

Why am I getting divorced?

-I know why. -What do you know?

What is it?

Oh, my gosh. How can he let his looks wither away that badly?

He looks like a completely different person.

It's not because of his looks.

If I keep living with him,

I don't know what I'd do.

Is it that bad?

What happened?

She hates how devastatingly old you got.

Is that enough to kill me?

What?

Did I curse at her? Or did I hit her?

I didn't even cheat on her.

Why? Why would she do that?

-There must have been an affair. -I told you that wasn't it.

Not you. It must be Da-jung.

Da-jung?

That crazy jerk.

And you didn't kill him after seeing that?

I would've killed him if I were you.

Thank you for understanding me.

No. No!

This isn't a matter of one's understanding.

Goodness.

I'll get going.

Take it easy. Otherwise, you'll end up dying of exhaustion.

Even if I die, I'm going to get promoted first, so don't stop me.

Right. Who cares if you lose your family? You just need to succeed.

What?

If I get promoted, Da-jung is going to change her mind too.

Don't worry about me. Bye.

Bye. You're doing a good job, my friend.

I love you!

I understand why he's getting a divorce.

Are you really okay with getting a divorce?

I don't have feelings for him anymore.

What about you? How are things with Professor Kang?

Who's Professor Kang? Oh, right.

I've already ended things with him.

This time it's a new face. He's in college.

He's in college?

You know I can't settle down with one person.

I want to continue feeling butterflies in my stomach.

I get that, but a college student?

[We don't care about your age.

We don't care about your education.]

They don't care about experience either.

The world has become a better place.

They should've done this sooner.

A lazy world makes a better society.

They're too lazy to look at the details,

so they make a rough model and pass rough judgments.

-Even if you are skilled... -It'll take 10 years to get promoted.

If you aren't skilled...

Your ratings drop, and so does your salary.

You applied to JBC this time, right?

How was the written exam?

I've taken so many of them already.

I will use my experience and age.

My age is a problem.

I turn 38 next year.

This year will probably be my last chance, right?

Be strong, my friend. You only live once,

so you should live life as a full-time anchor at least once.

I really hope I can. Please.

Look at your family portrait again and gain energy.

Of course.

You're going to get promoted today, so you must be happy to work.

Of course.

[-Let's go. -Gosh, I'm jealous.]

I need to go out. Hurry up already.

I'm sorry, ma'am. I will finish up quickly.

I refuse to pay you for coming here! You said it wasn't broken!

The cost for coming here and repair costs are separate.

Then you should've told me this in advance.

Do you want to get a zero in your service ratings?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

What is this smell?

-Pardon? -Your feet smell so much.

I was wondering why I smelled garbage! It was me.

Gosh, do you have any common sense?

You'll get a call later asking if everything was fixed well.

Please give me a ten out of ten.

Okay.

Can you throw this out for me?

I really feel like working today.

Sir, everything has been fixed.

Where did he go?

Gosh. I thought it was a real raccoon.

That surprised me.

"Do you want to be young again?"

Why bother asking? Of course I want to be young again.

Gosh, he must have his doctorate.

["A Drug That Buys Youth", "The Time of Reverting Cells"]

He even has a lot of medicine.

He must really like raccoons. There's another one here.

Did you fix everything?

Yes, sir. I fixed everything.

Is that so? Then fix this one for me too.

I'm sorry, sir. I only fix washing machines.

I fixed it, sir.

You're good at fixing things.

Why do you only fix washing machines?

I think you'd be good at fixing everything.

I can fix almost everything.

I wish I could fix my life like this too.

Do you want me to fix it for you?

Thank you.
