Yeah.

Her session just ended.

We're heading home now.

Yeah, OK.

Here comes my handsome son!

Hi!

I was just wondering what song it is

the Jong-hwa sings all the time?

It's from a TV commercial in Korea.

OK. Good bye!

Go... go...

Hurry to Loan Loan King

There's a car coming.

What is it, Jong-hwa?

I was afraid you might get hurt.

Mom is sorry, okay?

Mom is sorry.

Yes, sorry.

Mom is sorry.

Mom is sorry.

Mom is sorry.

Kids who went to the camp

said it's great.

You'll have fun.

I'm worried you'll like it so much

you won't come back.

I love you.

Speedy Loan Loan King

Please...

I'm afraid not.

You have to follow our rules.

I'll just watch from a distance.

I won't get in your way.

Yes... But there's no point to

this camp, if parents comes along.

You just have to trust us

and let us take care of him

I promise.

I won't be in your way.

My son needs me with him.

If you're this concerned, then maybe

you should take him home with you.

Pardon?

Think about the reason

you came all the way here.

Excuse me.

Do you have a light?

Thank you.

You're from Korea, right?

Yes.

Is the camp far from here?

It's near Tampere.

It'll take 3 to 4 hours.

You're really okay with this?

Yes.

Anyway...

You thanked me already.

Are you sure we're going

in the right direction?

Yes.

You don't talk much.

Not really.

It's over there.

It's dangerous.

No, it's not. You can come.

Let's go to the camp.

Across this lake?

We need to get to the kids.

We can go by car,

but let's try this way.

Just kidding.

Let's go back now.

We're not seeing the kids?

It's okay.

I've seen where they are.

Your coffee.

Only one cup?

I don't drink coffee

because of my stomach.

But all they have to eat

are sandwiches.

Coffee is enough.

I think you should eat

something warm.

That would be nice,

but we'd better hurry.

Shall we?

How about finding

a place to eat first?

My treat.

You drove all this way.

This kind of food don't suit me.

My tastes are too Korean.

I like soybean paste

and that sort of thing.

So when I go abroad,

I carry around red-pepper paste.

Do you have it with you?

Why?

May I have it?

Is it good?

Yes.

So you've been here two years.

Is life better here?

Well, it's alright.

It took some time

getting used to it.

But life is the same everywhere.

What?

What kind of answer is that?

Vague and thoughtless.

I mean, it's nice.

Quiet and clean.

Lots of snow...

The road's blocked,

we need to wait.

Until when?

It has to stop snowing first,

so they don't know yet.

What shall we do?

You can probably catch a train

at Tampere.

Let's try that.

And you stay here alone?

I guess.

It's a common thing here.

Then I'll wait with you.

It might take really long.

It's alright,

we're near the camp anyways.

I'll bet the kids

are doing better than we are.

So did your girl get better

living here?

Well, yes and no.

- Another vague answer.

- No, I mean it.

You can't see progress on

the outside.

Depression isn't cured easily.

Oh, I thought she was like my son,

being at the same school.

The condition of my son is...

really quite bad.

Since coming here,

I check the time constantly.

I've lost all sense of

if it's day or night.

I've been there, too.

- You're up.

- Hi...

Why are you up so early?

I thought I'd take a walk.

We walked quite a bit,

are you okay?

I'm fine.

The place I work

is by a mountain.

So every day I walk

up and down the hill.

Which mountain?

Mt. Namsan.

You can call it a mountain, too.

Look.

I think it's a sauna.

Are you okay?

Is it okay to just come in?

Don't know.

Someone's just been here.

A sauna deep in the forest...

People here love saunas.

They say Finns build themselves

saunas before houses.

Even 100 years ago,

women gave birth in saunas.

They even have a legend

about 'Saunatonttu',

an elf living in the sauna.

If people are naughty here,

the elf gets angry and...

Sorry.

What were you talking about?

About...

the elf in the sauna.

I woke up this morning,

and I was alone.

I thought I'd fall apart

if my son wasn't by my side.

But strangely, I felt calm.

I haven't felt that before...

Take care.

Wait.

I don't even know your name.

It's me.

Hey...

Did I wake you up? Sorry.

Today is Sunday.

Is something wrong?

No, I just called.

Hi.

My feet... ice... Home...

Your feet are cold?

Yes, let's go home.

- My feet...

- Poor Jong-hwa's feet are cold?

My feet... ice...

He seems to be calmer.

How was it there?

Okay.

- Heard it's freaking cold.

- Yeah, it is.

But it's nice. Quiet and clean.

Lots of snow.

We have quite a lot here, too.

It's different, really.

What's so different?

It's just...

different.

8 MONTHS LATER

With this high ceiling,

it feels too big.

It seems that way

because of the glass.

But the mood totally changes

after sunset.

How many guests

were you thinking?

About 200 to 300?

What do you think?

I like the open space,

but with a square shape

the runway and seating

will be hard to arrange

in an interesting way.

Shall we keep looking?

There's not much time.

Finding a place with

glass walls won't be easy.

And if you think about parking,

there wouldn't be

better options in Seoul

for a fashion show venue.

Hello, Teacher.

I want to see how

it looks like in the evening.

- I went to Jong-hwa's school.

- So?

He tore up

his classmates' textbooks.

Thank god he didn't hit anyone.

Did you pay them?

I sent them the money

and gift certificates.

Called all of them to apologize.

Problem solved then.

How about transferring

out of Gangnam district?

Schools near here are more difficult,

and the parents are picky.

Look, Ms. Lee Sang-min.

You think that's

the real issue here?

Ordinary schools will

all be the same.

But we could at least try.

I told you not to insist

on an ordinary school.

Special schools in Korea

aren't bad.

But special schools...

We need to face reality.

From an objective view,

this is vanity.

Great, you know its name!

Crabs walk sideways like this...

There are so many!

Which animal is your favorite?

- Hello!

- Yes? Hello.

What brings you here?

Pardon?

What are you doing here?

I was... passing by.

I had business near here.

CEO Lee Sang-min.

I didn't expect that.

You mean the work I do

doesn't suit me?

I just didn't see you

as a CEO type.

What exactly does

a CEO look like?

I didn't mean to...

It's okay. It's just a title.

I'm hired to manage

the boutique.

The real owner is someone else.

Her?

Yes.

Are you back for good?

Yes... and no.

Guess you got well.

You said you don't drink coffee

because of your stomach.

You remember that...

The display team is here.

- Shall I tell them to wait?
