The first 200 lines.
When I woke up this morning,
I saw her lying next to me with both of her hands holding mine.
When I saw...
how small her hands were when she held mine,
it broke my heart.
She didn't get any sleep at our house. She was very worried.
Both her grandmother and grandfather...
passed away from sickness.
So she's terrified of someone getting sick.
I used to not want anything or become someone.
I went to the army as soon as I graduated from high school.
My grandmother passed away when I was discharged.
Since I didn't have a dream or anything,
I inherited her diner without any hesitation.
But nowadays, I smile a lot...
because of Young Shin.
She makes me want to save up for the future.
They say you're the only person you can trust in this world.
But I guess everyone has their own fate...
that others might not understand.
What do you mean?
The pictures aren't going anywhere. Stop looking at them.
I'm memorizing them to remember them in my head.
You don't need to memorize them.
You'll have another field day...
and Christmas again next year.
Da Jung and everyone we see at the "Diner" might not be around.
Da Jung, Jung Hoon, Oh Bok, and everyone...
will be around.
What do you mean?
Go outside and ride your bike instead of memorizing the pictures.
Do you mean that I'll be staying here until next year?
I think you will.
Young Shin, what's wrong?
What do you mean, "What's wrong?"
I passed out out of happiness.
You scared me.
That's how happy I am.
Thank you so much, young man.
I'm so happy for you!
Young Shin, I'm so happy!
Stop jumping up and down by the table.
Thank you, Lord!
He has answered my prayers.
Hooray!
It's not like today is Independence Day or something.
All of us prayed with one heart.
The Lord couldn't ignore our prayers.
You've made a tough decision.
We'll treat Young Shin like she's our daughter.
We'll help you raise her well.
You'll be blessed for doing this, Gyung Soo.
I was able to be this brave because all of you helped.
I feel relieved also.
I've always felt very bad.
That's why we're having a pork barbeque party tonight!
Hooray!
I love pork belly!
Let's start grilling our meat.
Let's raise our glasses for Young Shin.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Cheers, everyone.
Pork belly tastes great. I haven't tried this before.
Young man!
I want some hotteok.
I'll buy you one on our way back after getting groceries.
There are socks here, young man!
Could you wait a little bit, please?
You're distracting me.
I'd like it if you could get me these socks in pink.
This is taking way longer with you by my side.
Starting from tomorrow, stay at home.
I'll take them all.
- It's 30 dollars, right? - Yes.
Wait for me!
Young man, wait for me!
She's asking him to buy her stuff now.
Everyone's laughing because she is calling him a young man.
He wouldn't mind if she called him a young woman.
He's not the type to mind what other people think.
He's gotten more talkative and outgoing...
ever since Young Shin got here.
You do have an idea of what's going on.
I'm not that stupid, Mother.
Don't eat too much before dinner.
My only wish left is for me to grow taller.
I have to eat a lot for me to get taller.
Having sweets is going to make you lose your appetite.
Stop eating now.
Just one more bite.
Welcome.
Long time no see.
How have you been?
When I heard that you went to the army,
I thought about visiting you.
But I didn't want to make you feel pressured.
I felt uneasy...
when I heard of your discharge.
I had to see you at least once.
Am I making you uncomfortable?
You're graduating soon.
Are you going to get a job?
I wanted to, but it's not working out well.
If I can't get a job, I'm thinking about getting married early.
Are you seeing someone right now?
I did.
I've dated a few people,
but things didn't work out.
Who is she?
Is she your niece?
You know I don't have any siblings.
Then who is she?
That's bad.
Why?
It's an emergency.
Emergency?
He just decided to let you stay with him,
and someone like her shows up!
What happens if they get married?
Married?
I feel like something bad is going to happen.
Why would you say that?
You're making me nervous.
Is there a more serious word than an emergency?
This is worse than being an emergency.
If he gets married,
I could just live with them.
Do you think you'll have a say in that?
He'll let me stay with him.
Of course, Mr. Jung will.
But what if she doesn't want to?
Guys can never win against women.
Really?
When my mom and dad fight, my mom always wins in the end.
She uses all kinds of dirty means.
What do you mean, dirty?
She either talks him into it or gets angry...
to get her way.
You scared me!
What's up?
Are you hungry?
Why did you get scared?
It's nothing.
I think you look better in pink.
Do you think so?
Are you going somewhere?
Yes. Someone's coming to visit.
Who?
Is it that woman from before?
Yes.
Do you want to go with me to the train station?
Do you want to look handsome for her?
No!
What are you talking about?
Can I wear something pretty too?
Sure. Wear what you want.
How do I look?
You must be cold in just a dress. Aren't you cold?
Being cold isn't important right now.
What are you going to do if you catch a cold?
I want to look pretty for her too.
Gyung Soo!
Did you come to pick me up?
No,
I was just passing by.
You came too!
My name is Kim Young Shin.
It's nice to meet you.
Why are you being so formal?
You look very bright.
I...
was burned by a lot of people in Seoul.
Seoul really...
isn't all that.
Before I went to the military,
I went to your university once.
Really?
You should've called me first.
I just...
wanted to say hi if I ran into you,
and I didn't think to reach out to you.
Does that disappoint you?
Disappoint me?
No, I mistreated you.
Your campus was so spectacular that it made me dizzy.
So, I just took a train home.
I see.
I really think they...
must've liked each other a long time ago.
My intuition was right.
By the way, Da Jung!
I think I'm going to like her.
- What? - She has such a nice voice!
She speaks really softly,
and my heart feels like it'll melt.
Hey, snap out of that!
She only made her voice like that on purpose,
so Mr. Jung would think she's pretty.
I've never heard such a sad voice.
I think I know why he liked her.
