STILL SHINING

DECEMBER 2015

Your internship's over,

but can you even make it home in this weather?

Nothing will be running.

But I have to go.

I heard you got the only internship for Hawaii.

I bet you'll be there before Christmas.

Lucky you.

I'm not going to go.

I don't think I'm cut out for this line of work.

I'm going back to school.

That's…

It's a miniature Sea Train. They're local souvenirs.

Can I ask something?

Breaking up over the phone

doesn't count as a breakup, right?

Breaking up over the phone?

That's a bit…

So…

We're not broken up.

It's okay for me to see him.

I have to make it back today. Can I pay for this with a card?

Give me five minutes.

Please text me. I'll transfer the money to you.

I have to go.

- Thanks. - Get home safe.

Tae-seo, I miss you so much.

The thought of seeing you makes me wonder how I even managed without you.

I have so much to tell you and so much to explain.

I have to go see you right now.

- - Rescue,

are you able to respond to Yeonwoo right now?

Oh, I'm going to Yeonwoo too.

Can you take me there with you?

- - Able to respond.

The caller from Yeonwoo is stranded.

We've sent the caller's number. Contact them directly.

- - Copy that.

Hello? This is the rescue unit.

Please go ahead.

We're on the road leading to the Yeonwoo village hall.

We live here in Yeonwoo.

I know where that is. I'm also from Yeonwoo.

I'll help.

Ma'am, I'm with someone who knows the area.

Just leave your car and go back inside your house.

The roads are pretty bad, so it'll take me a while.

Gosh, my grandson left for the army this morning,

but he went alone.

All because our truck got stuck in the snow.

Please come get our truck out.

Even if we were late, we wanted to go after getting our truck out,

but it got stuck in the snow again.

We should've at least been there to see Tae-seo get his hair cut.

Goodness, that poor boy went to that scary place all by himself.

He's endured so much by himself.

My goodness, we should at least be there to see him enter the training center.

But Tae-seo went alone.

He shouldn't have gone alone.

FIRE RESCUE

COMMUNITY SAFETY UNIT

Gosh, thank you so much.

The wheels are just spinning.

It's cold, so please wait in our car.

Right. Come on out.

- All right. - Okay, be careful.

There you go.

Watch out. Slowly.

Will I be able to explain to him?

STILL SHINING

Rule Tongyeong out as well.

Don't go there.

Tae-seo.

Right now…

Isn't a good time to talk.

I'll call you back soon.

YEON NAMSAN

If you're home, let's meet.

I'm not in Seoul.

I'll call you back tomorrow.

Hi, Grandpa. I'm about to leave now.

Yes, you need to use the truck.

You must be tired after running the trains all day.

There's no need to hurry.

I'm going to leave now.

Okay, bye.

I'M NOT IN SEOUL I'll CALL YOU BACK TOMORROW

What time do you finish work today?

Did you finish your shift?

I'm at the hospital.

In Gangneung.

- Oh… - Where are you?

Seoul.

And yesterday?

I asked you to rule out Tongyeong,

but you haven't given me an answer yet.

I'll explain everything in person.

So there's something you've needed to explain since yesterday?

What is it?

All right. Let's meet up.

I can be in Seoul before midnight. Where should I go to see you?

Well…

I…

Only have time right now.

You were going to see me briefly…

…to explain what had changed so suddenly in that short amount of time

and then go back?

We were talking about our future just the other day.

So when can I see you?

In three days.

Fine.

Tae-seo.

- It's not visiting hours yet, is it? - No.

My goodness.

Gosh.

Hey, is the truck comfortable?

If you take the bus, you can at least get some shut-eye.

It's fine. You need to use it.

Come sit.

You must be tired after driving all day.

Grandpa, I'll just be a minute.

- Hello? - Close the window for me.

I already…

We just missed each other.

Missing each other, being drained emotionally,

yet still trying our best to make time to meet…

That's what you struggled with.

You want to do this again?

Even if you're mad at me, I want to hear it in person.

I'm going to keep coming here until I see you.

I don't care how many times we miss each other.

Did anything happen that I should be worried about?

No, it's nothing like that.

I just…

I really want to talk to you in person.

Please.

I'll tidy up a bit before I go since I'm already here.

The floor's quite messy.

You must be tired from the trip. You shouldn't be cleaning up.

Eun-a.

I don't want you to have a hard time.

But…

I don't want that for me either.

At least…

At least for us,

let's not make things hard for each other.

It's not working.

The portable gas stove…

Is it here?

Seong-chan, replacing just one breaker won't do it.

They all need replacing.

Eun-a asked me to change just one, but that won't fix anything.

Please replace them all.

Mr. Bae, we have a complaint that the room is different from the booking.

I see. Okay.

- Mom, I'm going to head in first. - Okay.

- Hi, Ga-on. - Hello.

Hi, you made it.

- - Oh, let me get that for you.

You've had it rough.

You're back now. That's what matters.

Thank you.

Let me know when the guesthouse is empty.

I'll replace everything real quick.

Seong-chan asked me to do it.

MO EUN-A

If she's back, that's good enough.

- -

Eun-a, I'm in front of your guesthouse in Tongyeong.

I'm not here as a surprise. I meant to message you on my way here.

But I ended up driving without stopping.

Yeon Tae-seo.
