Did you lie to me?
I didn't lie...
Then what was it?
I mean...
I was trying to find the right moment...
Were you ever going to tell me?
Or were you just going to keep lying?
If I were trying to hide it, I wouldn't say it now.
So you're saying it was just bad timing?
That's not what I mean--
Then what do you mean?
Are you saying you don't have a kid?
Did I look that easy to you?
Did you think I was so lonely
that you having a kid wouldn't matter to me?
Anything else you want to confess?
Any criminal record?
I was afraid you'd react like this.
That's why I couldn't tell you.
I was scared.
Because I really liked you...
How do you think that makes me feel?
I hate myself for liking you.
For trusting someone like you.
I regret it so much.
[Do Hyun]
I'll stop by this weekend to get my things.
If it's uncomfortable for you, I'll come when you're not home.
[Squirtle]
- Hello? - Where are you?
- At home. - What are you doing?
Having an existential crisis...
Some people create masterpieces at 18,
and some people...
are 27 and fixing other people's typos.
I'm coming over.
I just showered and changed...
So what? Just wait for me.
- You know... - Yeah?
You don't usually try this hard at life.
Don't start with me. Just look it over.
Do grad students always write papers this long?
Is it too much?
There's a saying.
"Since I don't have much time,
I'll make this long."
*
See?
The longer it is,
the more it shows you're not ready.
So help me tighten it up,
make it sharp and airtight.
Let me benefit from the future great writer.
Nice.
This smells amazing.
This is crazy.
Good, right?
My parents went back to the countryside for their orchard,
so I basically lived at your place and ate all your food.
Yeah, I told you to just move in at that point.
Right.
Your mom's kimchi fried rice was seriously the best.
Hey.
What's wrong with you?
I just miss your mom.
Sorry.
Still... it feels nice.
Because I get to talk about my mom.
If I'd known she'd be gone so suddenly,
I should have tried harder...
to be a better person.
That's a real shame.
[Listen 25 Convenience Store]
Looks like the power is out.
Do you have cash?
Uh, no...
I don't have cash either.
I'll put this back and go.
No, I'll take care of it.
Why aren't the lights on?
Why's it so dark in here?
Give me a pack of cigarettes.
Sorry, the power just went out.
Do you have cash?
Who carries cash these days?
The register is down, so cards won't work.
You disrespecting me now?
You looking down on me?
What are you talking about?
She said cards aren't working because of the blackout.
Who the hell are you?
- Then who the hell are you? - What?
How dare...
You two...
Give me the cigarettes. Now.
Yes, sir.
What are you staring at, huh?
Police? This is a convenience store in Yeonhwa-dong.
There's a drunk guy in here...
He's throwing things and threatening us.
Please come right away.
It seems that the whole area is blacked out.
My boss told us to lock up until the power is back.
I can't even check visitors out anyway.
Just in case things get out of hand.
Thank you.
You can lock the door.
Want me to stay with you?
If I go home, it'll be dark there too.
And we don't even have candles.
Those of you who've been with "Night Walk" for a while know this,
I really love cherry blossoms.
You hear this, right?
Spring came especially late this year.
I've heard the blossoms would bloom late too.
So I waited and waited,
hoping to see them in full bloom...
but then a sudden rain knocked them down early.
In the end, I missed them.
Why do the good things disappear so quickly?
How did he hide having a kid?
One turns into two, and suddenly there are variables.
Oh, no. It's three.
Is this funny to you right now?
At least he's not married.
If he's staying at Jun Kyung's place,
it doesn't look like he is raising the kid.
So what's the problem?
He's just divorced, right?
- How old is the kid? - Stop.
Why does any of that matter now?
Anyway, delete his number.
If you keep it, you'll just wait for him to call.
And end up calling him when you're lonely.
I already deleted it.
You probably memorized it.
Erase him from your head, too.
You need a drink.
Drink and forget everything.
Let's drink.
Are you really going to break up with him?
Not "going to." We're already done.
Didn't you hear he has a kid?
What better reason is there to break up?
Come on...
It's like you're always waiting for a reason to leave.
Did you even hear his side?
Like... why he couldn't tell you.
Hey, you still love him. Don't you?
Isn't that a pretty strong reason to stay?
- Who is it? - You...
Don't answer it.
It's not Do Hyun.
You don't need to remember a con artist's number.
Hello?
Yes.
This spot was originally...
requested by a father who was terminally ill.
His family paid a deposit for months
to reserve it specifically.
There was a mistake on our staff's part.
We sincerely apologize.
How could something like this happen?
I don't understand.
We were quite taken aback when we found out as well.
"Taken aback?"
Do you think this is like canceling a restaurant reservation?
We don't have anything more to say.
That's it?
Once again, we offer our deepest apologies.
You think an apology makes this okay?
So... is there any spot still available?
Yes. Please follow me.
Right here.
Thanks, everyone, for a great day today.
Yeah, thank you.
We will go back to our hotels and get some rest.
And then we will meet tonight dressed in our best.
- Okay. - See you later.
- See you tonight. - Thank you.
Have a good rest.
Jun Kyung. How are you?
I'm good.
How are you doing, Dad?
Oh, it's nice here.
Great weather, a breeze, the ocean.
How about you?
I'm at home with Jun Seo right now.
Yeah?
That's really good.
So you're having dinner together then?
But Dad...
Yes?
Hold on a second.
- Dad? - Hi, Jun Seo.
I felt bad leaving without seeing you,
but hearing your voice like this makes me feel better.
- Dad. - Yeah?
I'm sorry about what happened before.
Have a good trip.
We don't want to ruin his day. Right?
- Shall we go? - Yes.
They call just to check in, even when nothing's wrong.
It's usually parents who worry like that.
Now that they're grown, they're the ones worrying about me.
Sounds like your children turned out well.
They did.
My daughter is an OB-GYN,
and my son is in grad school.
They are so nice.
You must be proud.
But it's not that simple.
My son still hasn't found what he truly loves to do,
and that worries me.
And my daughter hasn't found someone she loves yet,
that worries me too.
When did we take that picture?
Was it the year you started college?
It was my orientation day.
A few months before Mom's accident.
It feels so awkward.
Why were we smiling like that?
You...
You look good.
Honey?
You know... thinking back,
our family wasn't that happy even before Mom's accident.
But we weren't unhappy either.
Do you think so?
Right.
We were just... ordinary.
We...
No, I...
I think I blamed Mom for my unhappiness.
It was just my fault.
Geez, the power is out again.
- Hey. - Yeah?
Do you think this ever happened when Mom was alone?
She must've been scared.
Yeah.
Probably lonely, too.
Honey.
Why are you sitting in the dark?
Oh, the power is out.
There.
It's bright now.
Next time the lights go out, over there...
Honey.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
Don't cry.
You were scared, weren't you?
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry I came home late.
Honey, don't cry.
It wasn't too late.
I always had you
right by my side.
That's why I felt sorry every day,
and grateful every day.
- Honey. - Don't cry.
Everyone is waiting for you outside.
You...
You look amazing today.
Huh?
That woman, Ja Yeong.
She's pretty.
She looks good with you.
Don't say that.
Don't hesitate anymore. Don't hold back.
You should
think about yourself,
and live for yourself.
I want you to be truly happy.
Okay.
Every single day...
be happy.
Honey.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
Is there a tall, slim middle-aged man inside?
There's no one here.
Mr. Seo Jin Ho?
Mr. Seo?
What are you doing here?
Did something happen?
You probably wouldn't understand
why I'm like this.
I feel like I'm the only one living well,
and that makes me feel so guilty.
It hurts so much.
It would be stranger if you didn't feel that way.
No.
You've already gotten through it.
Someone weak like me...
these feelings...
you wouldn't really understand.
I understand you...
more than anyone else.
My husband was always busy and distant.
Whenever he felt sorry,
he made me a promise
that when he retired,
we'd walk the pilgrimage trail together.
But he...
he never got to keep that promise.
I thought about it for a long time.
'What would it even mean to go alone?'
But in the end...
I went by myself.
Just like you.
Do you know what I packed when I left?
For the last day of the pilgrimage.
For that day...
I went from hospital to hospital,
collecting sleeping pills.
I poured all of them out,
and lay still on the bed.
And suddenly,
I felt so sorry for myself.
It wasn't that I wanted to live for my husband.
I just felt so pitiful,
and my life felt so unbearably sad.
The life I still had left...
it felt too precious to give up.
Thank you.
That must've been hard to talk about.
I just wanted to say
your life is not over yet.
They say life is a festival.
Our festival isn't over yet.
Would you like to go outside?
For our last song, we're taking requests.
If you have one...
How about a song your wife loves?
No.
Let's request a song you like, ma'am.
My name is Ja Yeong.
Jin Ja Yeong.
Alright, Ja Yeong.
Let's listen to a song you love together.
Aren't we kind of overdoing it?
I mean, coming all the way to pick him up?
We're not usually this kind of family.
Dad must've been so lonely traveling alone.
Yeah...
He probably was.
By the way...
Since when do you say the right thing?
Yeah, well.
Guess your conscience is kicking in.
You've been busy dating the guy next door, huh?
How long has it been now?
What...
I was waiting for a comeback. Why so quiet?
We really...
aren't the good family to each other.
Let's try.
Quietly, so no one notices.
Hey, Dad is here.
Watch your faces. For Dad.
Worry about yourself.
Everyone in our group had such strong personalities.
Thanks to you,
it was a great time.
Me too.
This trip will stay with me for a long time.
- Dad! - Over here!
He looks okay, doesn't he?
He's probably holding it together.
Wave nicely.
Mr. Seo.
It's time to wake up from forgetting.
[Tree Burial Information Voucher]
They say even the urn will eventually decompose there.
Everything turns back into soil.
Isn't that a little off?
What do you think, Dad?
You guys haven't eaten yet, right?
Is something wrong?
No.
I know this might sound weird, but...
Mom passed away,
and you're asking if something's wrong?
Isn't that a little off?
How about
something spicy?
Like what?
Anything you're craving.
Then...
how about tteokbokki?
Isn't that really spicy?
You order it.
I don't have my phone now. Can you order?
[Julia, Kim Mi Ran]
Well done, Jun Kyung.
Your mom...
She was stuck at home all the time.
This open place suits her better.
My sister has a tree now.
My dear... I may not come often, but...
I'll visit whenever I can.
Take care.
- This is better. - Yeah.
- It's nice. - It is.
I feel so bad for your dad.
He couldn't live without her.
What if he does something reckless?
It's not just the dead who deserve pity.
The living do, too.
Take good care of your dad.
You take care of yourself.
And stop getting drunk for no reason.
- Let's go. - Have a drink with Jin Ho, too.
I will.
Don't forget about the after-party at 6 tonight.
Oh, hi.
"Popularizing Korean folktales with AI?"
Sounds boring.
Do you want to hear something fun?
You know Yuna, right?
I'm doing the choreography for her new song.
Oh, really?
What if I get way too famous?
Yeah.
- You're annoying. - What are you doing?
Oh, right.
Whose choreo did you say?
That looks perfect on you.
It does? On me?
It's kind of flashy.
You're my boyfriend. How would it not work?
That's a lot of pressure.
I'm about to get even more famous.
You'd better be ready for that.
Aren't you sick of plaid shirts by now?
Hey, isn't that Yoon Sol?
I think it is.
No way.
It is me. Come here.
I follow you on Instagram.
You didn't follow me back, though...
I will if you DM me.
Could we get a photo with you?
- Of course. - Thank you.
- This is so good. - Delicious.
It's tasty, right?
Hey.
Stop grilling and eat some.
I am eating.
You look better than a few days ago.
Yeah, he must be eating well.
Eating well?
No, it's because he doesn't have a nagging wife.
Oh, there you are.
- Our guide is here. - Hello.
Good to see you.
You're pretty late, aren't you?
I come late on purpose when I'm off.
I'm sick of showing up early and taking care of everything.
Feels like it's been forever.
So good to see everyone.
Alright, eat up.
- Let's toast. - Sure.
Cheers!
The losing married couple will pay for the game. Okay?
- Sounds good. - Wait, hold on.
They're not even a married couple.
So what are they?
- Losing team pays! - Deal.
I haven't played in like 20 years.
Same. It's been over ten years for me.
Uh-oh.
Looks like we're paying for everything.
Let's do our best.
- Nothing went wrong, right? - Yeah.
Here she comes.
Thank you, Doctor.
Both the mother and the baby are healthy.
- Thank you. - Thank you so much.
- Thank you. - We really appreciate it.
Why did you do that?
- You should've told her sooner. - I was going to.
But you know...
I...
And Jun Kyung...
We only ran into each other a few times.
At the convenience store...
giving her a ride...
If I'd said, "I have a kid."
You know, I couldn't just do that.
And then we started seeing each other...
I didn't know...
when to tell her the truth.
I know it all sounds like excuses, but...
Yeah. I get it.
When she said we should take it slow,
I thought... okay.
I'll wait for the right moment.
That's what I kept telling myself.
Hey.
You really liked her.
Then,
why don't you just reach out again?
We're already over.
Tell me.
Let's hear your excuse.
In this moment,
I realized.
I like him far more than I thought.
Nothing's more certain than that.
That's why I need to see him again.
When I was 20,
I was really...
immature.
Well...
I still kind of am.
My ex-girlfriend called me...
two months after we broke up.
She said she was pregnant.
Suddenly,
the idea of having a child...
honestly...
it scared me.
The moment
I saw his face...
I felt overwhelmed,
and touched,
I was like...
strangely moved.
That's how I felt.
But,
we were already over,
and trying to go back
just out of responsibility...
that wasn't possible.
My ex took the baby and went to Germany to study.
We got back in touch
last year.
My son...
he wanted to meet me.
He wanted to live in Korea.
So,
after 14 years,
I met him.
What is his name?
Daniel.
Im Daniel.
He's 15.
And really tall.
He's at that cynical teenage phase, huh?
Yeah.
It really is.
That tiny little kid...
while he was growing up...
I couldn't do anything for him.
That's it.
That's my excuse.
What I really wanted to say to you...
with no excuses...
is that...
I'm truly sorry.
I already forgave you.
From the moment I saw your face earlier.
Oh, there's something I want to give you.
Wait, did you have this?
If we hadn't broken up,
you'd still be listening to music from just one side, forever.
Thanks to you, we didn't have to pay for the game.
I feel bad for everyone else, though.
You don't look that sorry. You were trying pretty hard.
I'm not usually competitive,
but tonight, I really didn't want to lose.
Really? Why?
I don't mind losing on my own, but you would've lost too.
- You are so nice. - Oh, come on.
I'm serious.
You're tall for your age,
no belly or anything.
I'm sucking it in right now.
If you just dyed the gray a bit...
you'd probably look younger than me.
You said it'd been ten years since you bowled.
How were you that good?
I try hard not to forget, that's all.
When things are tough, I try to forget,
and when things are good,
I try not to.
Does that really work whenever you want it to?
Are you curious?
Is this really okay?
What is?
Me coming over like this, to a woman living alone.
You're not...
getting any weird ideas, are you?
What?
No, don't misunderstand.
Oh! You scared me.
This is Bom.
Hello?
- I didn't scare her, did I? - Not at all.
Did you have fun today? Say hello to him.
This place used to be a pool hall.
With my work and my personality, I move around a lot.
I never needed a place that felt like home.
Kind of unusual, right?
No.
I think it's really wonderful.
It kind of feels like...
a hideout.
You really are
an incredible person.
Some people buy souvenirs,
take pictures,
and post them on social media.
But I just...
draw.
The things I want to remember,
the way they felt,
the people I met and the conversations we shared.
So I don't forget them.
That's how I remember things.
What do you want to remember right now?
May I see it?
- Yes. - Thank you.
Oh.
It still has a long way to go.
Are you really Seo Jun Seo?
- What? - What is that?
Are you being punished or something?
- Doesn't suit me, right? - Yeah. Not at all.
Sol bought it for me.
It really doesn't suit you.
I thought so too.
Why are you two dating if you don't even match?
Because I like her.
Because she's pretty, right?
Well...
She is cool.
She knows what she wants.
She does everything well.
So why would she like me?
A loser like me.
How are you a loser?
You're cool too.
Seriously?
In what way?
She is always busy,
always making you anxious.
That skinny girl. I don't even think she's that pretty.
But you're always on her side.
Yeah, that's what makes you a cool guy.
What are you doing?
What does it matter if you think I'm cool?
Sol is the one who needs to think so.
Why can't it be me?
Let's stop.
See you later.
Dad?
A grandma in my sister's village raised Bom.
She passed away, and Bom was left alone.
That's awful.
I was lonely, so I took her in.
But she spends more time at doggy daycare than with me.
I keep telling myself I'm busy,
and I think it's making her feel lonely.
Is the man in that drawing your husband?
Never.
Yeah? That's a relief.
He was a guest on a couples tour,
and he kept hitting on me.
I mean, his wife was right there. What was he even thinking?
It was a cruise, so there was nowhere to escape.
It was really uncomfortable and upsetting.
I drew him so I could curse him for life.
What the...
That guy is a total jerk.
A married creep, seriously.
Oh, you swear too?
Anyone with common sense would.
He is a bastard.
- You can take the call. - Okay.
[My Son]
Hey, Jun Seo.
What?
Oh, is it that late already?
Yeah.
I'm just hanging out with friends.
Okay. I'll head home soon, don't worry.
I'm coming now.
I said I'm on my way.
Bye.
You should probably go home.
Yeah.
We're out of drinks anyway,
and it's pretty late.
Hey, Bom.
I'm heading out now.
Hope we can see each other again.
Take care.
I'll get going.
Do you want to stay the night?
Weren't you heading home?
I felt like I needed another drink,
so I stopped by the convenience store.
Is it really...
Is it okay if I stay over?
- Doesn't she have a lover? - Yeah, but he is not a good boy for Sol.
He's some grad school loser.
So I'd shoot my shot.
- I want to say it's true love, but... - Call the cops!
Do you think I'll be in Sol's future?
I was scared that people might notice
how much I like you.
Do you really think Julia would want to see
you beating yourself up like this?
You don't need to blame yourself.
I'm done worrying about what other people think.
Dad?
What was that?
Hello.
Daniel, I want you to get to know my girlfriend.
You're cooking? That's new.
Why are you being so nice to him?
She is insane.
Sorry, Jun Kyung.
What? Did you already get dumped?
