Is this what he meant?

Was what he said really true?

Hey!

Don't touch Yi Chan, you sons of bitches!

Hey, let's run before the police show up.

Are you okay? Can you walk?

First of all, hop on my back.

Don't worry.

I lied about the police being here.

Would you be able to handle it?

Do Jin won't forgive you if he finds out you tricked him.

I should actually call the police then.

My uncle is a police chief.

Hey, hoobae. You should've reported before this happened-

Shouldn't we turn this place back to normal?

The security guard will patrol in the morning.

Can we hurry up a bit?

He'll start patrolling soon.

Hello. I'm a 10th grader on the festival committee.

You were sleeping so soundly earlier.

Hey, lean on me. I'll help you.

Gosh, so heavy.

Are you okay? Isn't your head spinning?

Go home, get some sleep, and let's regroup at 12 at school.

Hey, you want us to go home looking like this?

Hey, aren't we making our parents too happy?

Well, you're right.

Jindo Dog Gang?

Yes.

So, you've been mugging people, fighting, and stealing from cars since middle school with him.

But you quit doing that since you joined a band.

But he thinks he went to juvenile jail because you turned him in?

Yes.

But you never told the police?

No. But I'm sure he knows I didn't do it, too.

Why did you let him misunderstand, then?

I'm sure he needs to vent at someone.

And he thinks I betrayed him anyway.

Is refusing to steal from cars a betrayal?

Geez, what if they come to ruin the show later?

Don't worry. He's reckless, but he isn't stupid.

He knows better than to cause trouble while on parole.

You're not going back to him, right?

Huh?

No.

You don't have a tattoo of a Jindo dog, right?

No.

- Really? - Geez, I said no.

Look for it if you can't believe me.

W-What's going on right now?

Hey!

Come here!

What do you think?

What do you think? Not too bad, right?

Hey, pretty good, huh?

Am I really your dad?

Huh?

You said I'm your dad, and you're my son.

You knew my future

and figured out a way to change my life.

That's why you didn't want us to rehearse.

How did you know?

How did you come, knowing I'd get injured?

To be honest, my father was against me being in a band.

So, I left home out of anger.

But he ended up finding out our rehearsal date.

I'll be forced to study abroad if I get caught.

So, I had no choice but to lie to you.

I'm sorry.

- Really? - Really.

- Is it true? - It's true.

Right? You almost fooled me. Geez.

Gosh, you thought I'd buy a lie like that?

But seriously, do you want to die?

How could you drag Se Kyeong into something like that?

You promised me not to see her before the festival.

Huh? Seriously...

Hey, the movie's about to start! Where are you going?

Hey, Ha Eun Gyeol!

Hey! Where are you going naked?

Se Kyeong! I know you're inside!

Come out for a second! I need to talk to you!

Se Kyeong! It will just be a moment! Choi Se Kyeong!

Be quiet, or I'll call the police!

I'm sorry.

I really owe you big time.

To be honest, I have a reason I can't tell you about... No.

I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything.

To be honest, I was worried Yi Chan would get into an accident... I mean...

I managed to cancel the rehearsal, but they still tried to do it...

No...

Anyway, I'm sorry.

Beat me up if you want to.

Swear at me all you want.

You can do anything to make you feel better.

But please don't avoid me.

Give me a chance to apologize sincerely in person-

There's something you don't know about.

I hate being abandoned

more than anything.

I was forgetting for a moment while focusing on Dad.

That I have other missions left.

I need to make Mom smile.

I need to make sure my parents end up together.

To do that, I have to make Choi Se Kyeong stay away from Dad no matter what. And...

You're like a stray cat.

I thought I kicked you out. Didn't I?

Same with that witch who's next to Mom.

Since you came, clear out the annex and take the rest of your stuff.

I never said I'd move out.

You skipped classes, and you left without notice, too.

Do you need more reasons to get kicked out?

I sent the Chairman a fax to let him know in advance.

I told you. He's my boss.

Get out while I'm still treating you like a human.

Cheong Ah is the only one I need to worry about in this house.

Should I get someone to drag you out?

How dare you tell him to leave or not?

Welcome, Chairman.

Did you have a comfortable business trip?

You should go to the study.

I need to talk to you privately.

Okay.

Since when did you pretend to be the head of this house?

- Chairman. - Who let you make that decision?

You must've noticed earlier, but he's a kid without any class.

He's unbelievably arrogant because he has you.

Not only that, we have two grown-up daughters at home.

You're more sensitive than anyone about letting people in the house. How could you-

I clearly told you not to judge him by his attitude.

- Chairman. - Don't talk back at me!

Chairman.

You won't say your relationship with him is thicker than water, right?

What you said just now turned Joo Yeop and Sang Ah into water.

And I became putrid water in a sewer.

Happy now?

- Pardon? - I said I'll cancel the contract.

But the contract period doesn't expire for five days.

It's too slow. Investing and withdrawing is all about timing.

You probably don't know, but Cheong Ah has been changing a lot lately.

Her sign language improved a lot, and she made a lot of friends.

She's been opening herself up a lot, too. And most importantly...

she smiles a lot.

I think you forgot the contract condition.

Didn't you say you'd let me see her smiling?

That's because you're rarely home because of your business trips-

Are you telling me to forget about the company and stay at home?

Anyway, this is unjust.

How could a chairman of a corporation fire a young person unjustly-

That's why I'm saying I'll extend it by a month.

If you keep doing this, I'll report you to the labor administration-

Pardon? Extend?

Let's cancel the original contract and extend it by a month.

Instead, I'll change the conditions a bit.

Conditions...

What exactly...

She has to smile, looking at me.

Who?

Cheong Ah?

Why? Can't you do it?

I'll give it a try.

I'm done talking. Leave now.

- Chairman. - I won't cooperate.

Figure it out on your own.

I'd love you to see it.

See what?

Cheong Ah's smile.

It's really pretty.

Who did I like more before I left to study abroad?

Ha Eun Gyeol.

She definitely likes Eun Gyeol.

Ha Eun Gyeol.

Se Kyeong will definitely choose Eun Gyeol over Yi Chan today.

You'll come to the festival later, right?

Yes. I'll go.

I can never let Mom cry.

I need to win Choi Se Kyeong over before the festival starts, no matter what.

Se Kyeong.

Are you going to Baegwang High's festival today?

Well, I think you'll go.

Come on. Why would I go there?

It's obvious that you'll go.

I mean, I thought I should accompany you if you're going.

I can't let you enter the cave of wolves on your own.

You look like you'd go regardless of my attendance.

Why? How do I look?

You look like an Ahssa* who wants to be an Inssa*.

What does that mean? Is that a good thing?

What does that mean? Choi Se Kyeong.

Choi Se Kyeong. Please answer...

Se Kyeong, let's talk for a second.

Hi. Good morning.

What? Did she do sign language just now?

She must be crazy. What if people think she's handicapped?

I'm sorry. I'll see you later.

They have something going on. Don't they?

You know something, right...

Are they serious right now? Hey!
