Is that the window to your room?
No.
Then whose room is it?
Don't you know?
I'm sorry for asking something weird.
Anyway, I'll see you around.
I'll come by often.
Sure.
Sun Hui.
Be careful
of your dad and mom.
(Perfect Family)
Did you bump into the man
who just left our house?
- Yes. - So you two met.
What did he say?
Is he a relative?
You saw him often as a child.
Don't you remember him?
I don't.
I see.
I'll go and rest.
Be careful
of your dad and mom.
Sun Hui.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Good night.
Are you able
to sleep well?
Sure.
I'm glad to hear that.
Su Yeon,
you, and Gyeong Ho.
Did something happen between you three?
- What? - Gyeong Ho's death
hit me hard as well,
which is why I get it.
But
you haven't been yourself lately.
It's also odd that Su Yeon disappeared
right around that time.
I really hope
nothing happened between you three
and that I know all there is to know.
Of course.
You can talk to me
about whatever you're burdening yourself with
or what you can't tell your parents.
It can be anything.
I also
want to know where Su Yeon is.
Hyeon U.
Yes?
There's something
I need your help with.
You both want to leave early?
Is this about Gyeong Ho?
I understand how you two must be feeling,
but you'll soon be seniors.
I really hope this will be the last time. What
I'll talk to her.
Even if she falls from grace, she'll rank tenth in the school,
- but you - Thank you, sir.
Hyeon U, I wasn't done talking.
Have a good shopping experience.
Wait a moment, please.
Just a second.
Sun Hui, wait for me!
Hey!
Sun Hui.
What
Hey.
- Don't I get an explanation? - Later.
I'll hold you to that.
Sure.
Gosh.
If only she'd tell me what this is about.
Then I wouldn't worry.
Yes, Mom.
Sun Hui, I'm sorry, but I'll be late picking you up.
I'm already home.
What? Already?
I wasn't feeling well.
Where are you right now?
I'm out grocery shopping.
I'll be home soon. Probably in about 30 minutes.
Sure, I got it.
Never
enter this room.
Do you hear me?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
This won't happen again.
It was the first time I encountered that tone of his
and that look on his face.
Be careful
of your dad and mom.
Darn it.
Darn it.
Don't be nervous.
Don't be nervous.
You startled me!
I need your help. Hurry.
You almost scared the life out of me.
It looks dangerous,
- so let me do it. - No.
I must see this for myself.
Be careful up there, Sun Hui.
Sure.
I'm good now, so look out for my mom's car.
Got it.
Darn it.
Darn it.
Sun Hui!
- It's your dad. Get down. - My dad?
No.
But I'm almost there.
Hyeon U.
Can you get rid of the ladder for me?
Hurry.
- Mr. Choi! - Hyeon U, it's you.
- Hello, sir. - Hi.
You're home from work early.
- I'm here to pick something up. - Okay.
- I see. - Where's Sun Hui?
She's home.
Is that so? Have a good day, then.
Mr. Choi!
There's something I'd like for you to see.
- I'm afraid I'm a bit busy. - It'll be brief.
Can you please take a look at this for me?
At what?
Why on earth am I dancing right now?
Sun Hui, hurry up and go in.
What's going on here? Hyeon U.
What are you doing?
He asked me to take a look at this.
- What - Can you stop? I have to get going.
- Oh, gosh. - What's wrong?
Hyeon U.
Oh, my.
What's wrong with you all of a sudden?
What is this place?
Hyeon U, should I call the ambulance?
No, I'll be fine.
I just got a cramp in my leg.
Are you sure that you're all right?
I'm really okay.
Why did you dance like that all of a sudden?
- Is Sun Hui inside? - Yes.
Honey, please bring the groceries.
Okay.
Here.
It wasn't so bad.
- Take care. - Thank you.
Sun Hui, is this the only type of thing
that I can do for you?
Sun Hui.
I'm home, Sun Hui.
Sun Hui.
Honey.
Are you home?
Sun Hui,
are you feeling all right?
Yes, I feel better than before.
Dad, you're home early.
Yes, were you taking a shower?
Yes, I sweated a bit.
Sun Hui.
Do you dance with Hyeon U?
What? Dance?
Don't push yourself too hard.
Of course not.
I'm going to rest, Mom.
- I'll call you when dinner's ready. - Okay.
Can I help you with anything?
Don't worry about it.
You aren't feeling well.
Get some rest.
Here you go.
What's the matter?
About dad's relative.
Yes?
Does he know
a lot about our family?
I'm not sure.
You don't see your relatives
because of me, right?
Sun Hui.
Because you adopted me,
the elders are
Don't say that.
- Did he say something to you? - Mom.
Why did you
adopt me?
What kind of question is that?
You could've adopted someone younger or a boy.
Choi Sun Hui.
I'm sorry.
She asks me questions
as if she knows something.
We must keep it a secret no matter what.
What now?
We better
move our plan forward.
- It's because you slept. - What?
You slept during class.
- Sleep isn't the problem. - Let's go to the PC room.
Let's go.
I have somewhere to go today. I'll get going.
Sun Hui.
Sun Hui.
Where are you going?
Sun Hui.
Hey, Sun Hui.
Hey
Hey!
Don't worry about me and leave.
Yesterday, you asked me to act as a lookout at your house.
Right?
You entered your house secretly on a ladder.
How can I not worry about you?
What is it?
Where are you going?
You have to tell me so that I can help you.
It's not something that you can help with.
Hey, Sun Hui.
You can't decide whether I help you or not.
You aren't doing something dangerous, right?
Isn't there a doorbell?
Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Who are you?
Gosh.
My name is Choi Sun Hui.
Please wait here.
Gosh, the house looks like
a palace.
What is this place?
It's my grandmother's house.
Your grandmother's house?
I haven't seen you in a long time.
What brings you here?
Do your parents know that you're here?
No.
Leave.
What?
Aren't you being too harsh to your granddaughter?
It's none of your business.
Grandma.
I refuse to be called your grandma.
I came to ask you a question.
Why do you have that?
Who is the boy in this photo?
I thought that you could tell me.
Who is he?
- Please tell me. - Why do you want to know?
Even if you find out,
you're neither my granddaughter nor my family.
I'd like to know.
Why are my parents trying to keep this boy a secret?
Grandma.
- Please tell me. - Shut it!
You freak!
Don't ever show up here again!
Get out!
Didn't you hear me?
Get out of here now!
Let's go, Sun Hui.
Sun Hui, you must be hungry.
This will soothe your stomach.
I know you like this.
Let's treat your wound.
Give it to me. I'll do it.
No, you should eat. You haven't had lunch.
- Your mom didn't pack you lunch? - She did.
I just didn't bring it.
It might sting a little.
I thought we would be spending
our senior year bickering,
then go to college.
I thought your family
would be happy forever like the ones I see on commercials.
But Gyeong Ho died
And you're scared to go home.
Is that how you see it?
What kind of friend is Su Yeon?
Why are you asking?
I'm just asking.
Now that I think back,
since Su Yeon transferred to our school
everything is going wrong.
I feel like you know something.
But you aren't going to tell me.
Hyeon U.
I guess you don't think I can help.
It's not that.
I still
have not
figured stuff out myself.
Your grandmother and the photo.
Are they all related?
I think so.
Well
Can you promise me one thing?
Promise you what?
To those places that are too hard or scary to go by yourself,
go with me.
And
when you want to talk to someone,
or when things are too hard for you to handle by yourself,
tell me.
I'll listen.
I'll listen on behalf of Gyeong Ho as well.
Okay.
I knew
that my grandmother would be cold to me.
But why on earth
did she get so mad after seeing the photo?
Sun Hui, you know what?
What?
In the Indian language, "A friend" means,
"A person who carries my sadness on their back."
That's what it means.
- Hyeon U. - Yes?
Help me.
Of course.
Just trust me.
Okay.
Oh, right.
Here.
What is this?
I've been carrying for a while to give it to you.
It's very sticky.
I kept it in my pocket for some time.
Don't tell me this is my gift.
Of course not.
It's not.
Many things happened today as well.
But what Hyeon U said comforted me.
(A friend is a person who carries my sadness on their back.)
A friend means
a person who carries my sadness on their back
in the Indian language.
The saying lingers in my heart.
To Hyeon U,
I feel like I can say everything.
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday, dear Sun Hui - Happy birthday, dear Sun Hui
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Sun Hui. This is your birthday gift.
It's so cute!
- Do you like it? - I do!
That's called a diary. From now on,
you write down everything that happened every day and be honest.
Okay.
I'm home.
- You are home. - How was school? Was it fun?
Yes.
I fought with Gyeong Mi again today.
Gyeong Mi
told everyone that my parents weren't my real parents.
I can stand it when she teases me.
But it teared me up because she said bad things about my parents.
I don't want to go to school because of Gyeong Mi.
Gyeong Mi moved to another school.
I heard something happened to her family.
My mom said
- Gyeong Mi got injured badly. - What?
No, my mom said Gyeong Mi's father died.
I heard Gyeong Mi's dead.
I will be out for a moment.
Where are you going so early on Saturday?
I have to work on my assignment with Hyeon U.
- I'll be back. - Okay.
Sun Hui.
- Did you have a good sleep? - I did.
- That's good to know. - How about you?
I had a good sleep.
Did you eat?
- Yes. - That's good.
(Recent search history)
(Family relation certificate)
(Death certificate, Adoption certificate)
(Viewing adoption certificates, Can I change family relations?)
Look.
"Who is that person?"
"I'm so anxious."
"Many things happened today as well."
"What Hyeon U said comforted me."
"A friend means"
"a person who carries my sadness on their back in the Indian language."
"The saying lingers in my heart."
"To Hyeon U,"
"I feel like I can say everything."
I'm sorry
I've been worrying you.
It's fine. I'm okay.
Gosh, but even for me
I don't know how I should take this.
Don't you think it's a bad idea to get anxious by yourself?
That's why I'm here to see you.
I feel more comfortable
being with someone rather than being by myself.
Right.
I agree.
It looks like you still find me unreliable.
- Hyeon U. - Yes?
Thanks.
And I mean it.
By the way, why are you so interested in this Choi Sun Hui?
She's clearly in the center of the case.
"The case?"
Sir. At this rate, won't we be in danger too?
Listen, stupid.
We can't uncover the truth if we don't go against the system.
One of Choi Sun Hui's friends burned to death,
and another went missing.
The house could've caught fire, and she could've run away.
Forget it. She's moving. Follow her.
All right. Gosh.
- Hurry. - What? Goodness.
How much longer are you going to stake out?
Are you here on vacation?
Dong Ho!
Shut it. Why do you care?
- It's just pathetic. - Mind your own business.
Don't worry about my business.
- But you're not. - You punk.
How dare you, jerk?
- The chief - What, "Jerk?"
closed the case as an accident.
He closed it! Closed, you hear me?
Gosh.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm ready to listen.
All right.
There was an accident
before Gyeong Ho's house caught fire.
An accident?
That day
I'll tell you what I saw that day.
I went to Gyeong Ho's place that day.
Don't apologize!
- Let me go! - Hey!
Let go.
After hearing loud noises, I went into his house.
- And Su Yeon - Su Yeon.
was holding a knife.
It's all because of you!
Furious, she ran toward me with the knife.
But Gyeong Ho
He
got stabbed while protecting me.
Are you saying Su Yeon killed Gyeong Ho?
Yes.
Why didn't you report her to the police?
Answer me.
- Let's report her. - No.
What? How come?
The police
think Gyeong Ho died from the fire.
That means Su Yeon could've caused the fire.
No.
Su Yeon
didn't start the fire.
What are you saying?
So you know who started it?
Sun Hui?
I didn't tell you so we could report to the police.
I'm telling you all this,
trusting your promise to listen to anything I would say.
But this is different.
We can't settle this by ourselves, can we?
There's something I simply need to check.
This is
all I can tell you.
Sun Hui.
Report to the police,
and
we won't be friends anymore.
Sun
The beach is one of the more beautiful
Or is it the most beautiful?
Places on earth.
Choose the correct word.
Question two.
One of the best vacations.
Or
(Sun Hui. It's me, Su Yeon. I'm in front of school right now.)
(Can you come out for a second?)
(I'm really scared.)
Su Yeon?
(Can you come out for a second? I'm really scared.)
- It's finally recess. - Gosh.
Let's go to the snack bar.
What? Where is she?
The phone is turned off.
(Epilogue)
What is it?
It's nothing.
How many years have you been working for me?
It's been 25
No, 26
It's been so long that I've forgotten.
I see.
Why do you ask?
There's a memory I can't forget.
Watching the sunset
reminds me of that day.
My son was an expert at climbing trees.
In autumn, he would climb the chestnut tree
and shake the chestnuts off the branches.
But one day, he got badly injured.
Like usual,
he climbed up the chestnut tree to shake the chestnuts off
but slipped and fell off the tree.
I rushed over to him.
And he was bleeding from his head.
I ran to the hospital with him on my back.
But actually,
he didn't climb the tree for the chestnuts.
He was being bullied.
To get away from the bullies,
he went up the chestnut tree
and shook the chestnuts off to survive.
As you know,
I was devoted
to expanding
the company back then.
Only immersed in my own business,
little did I know what my son
was going through.
I regret that day.
I was unqualified as a mother.
How strange
for you to tell me
about your past.
(Perfect Family)
What's giving you such a hard time?
Didn't abnormal events
happen around you recently?
The belongings of Lee Su Yeon, the missing student, were found.
When I went to Gyeong Ho's house, he was
That person
is wearing a mask.
I'm
terribly scared of both Mom and Dad.
