CELLO:

Nice job.

Let's stop here for today.

Thank you, Professor.

Didn't see you there,

Professor Hong.

Now, where was it...?

I must keep it here.

What are you looking for?

Yes, here it is.

Do you remember Hae-young?

You remember,

Tae-yeon's little sister!

Tae-yeon?

Kim Hae-young

Homecoming Concert

Oh yeah... What about her...

all of a sudden?

She came back from

Austria last month

Gave me an invitation

to her homecoming concert.

Next week, huh?

Mi-ju!

You saw the notice, right?

The full-time instructor job

for next semester.

I really want you to

get it this time.

It's not that simple.

That's why...

And don't take this the wrong way.

But... it's about time the dean

bought a new car.

...Can you look into it?

Put your stupid pride aside for a second

and think about it. Okay?

This could be your last chance!

...Sun-ae, I'm...

No. I'm gonna go...

Oh... I almost forgot...

Hae-young asked me

to give this to you.

...Do I know you?

You don't remember me?

I took your lecture last semester.

How typical... As if you would pay the least

bit of attention to someone else's student.

Can I help you?

You really don't know? This is

worthless now, all because of you!

Don't act all innocent with me!

My mom and I worked

so hard to get ready...

I was a shoo-in for that school,

but now it's all over, thanks to a grade

I got from a worthless

part-time instructor like you.

If you've got a problem with your grade,

file an appeal.

Don't make a fool of yourself here.

I'm the fool?

Do you think you're so perfect

when you've ruined my life for

some stupid harmonics questions?

You're just a lousy

theory instructor...

I have nothing more to discuss with you,

so could you get out of the way?

And if I don't?

Ahhhh!

Watch your back! I'm gonna pay you

back for every single thing you did to me!

I hope you'll be very happy,

Professor

...Are you happy?

You should be...

I hope you'll be very happy,

Professor

Sunny...

Honey, honey!

Mom, Mom!

Is anybody home?

Yoon-hye,

Yoon-hye Song!

Anybody?

Aunt, Aunt!

Yoon-jin,

Yoon-jin!

Yoon-jin, where are you?

Yoon-jin!

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

- Happy bithday my lovely mom

- Happy birthday my darling

Congratulations!

Mi-ju. Here's your present!

Thank you, Kyung-ran.

Can I open it now?

How in the world did you find

such a rare album?

Hyun-woo searched every

single antique shop in Manhattan.

To be honest, I got it two months

ago, but I wanted to give it to you

for your birthday.

Do you like it?

Of course.

Please thank Hyun-woo for me.

So, what did you get,

big brother?

Well,

Kyung-ran, sit down here and...

Close your eyes.

Wow!

So?

Do you like it?

Thank you, honey.

The kids prepared something too.

Yoon-hye!

Yes, sir.

Watch closely, Mom. Sis!

One, two, three, four,

Yoon-jin, I'll be helping Yoon-hye

with her homework,

so go to bed without me

if you're tired.

Okay. Uh, Jun-ki!

Jun-ki?

Long time since you said my name.

Thank you.

...I guess

I haven't been doing too well

if you're so moved

by a little necklace like this!

No, it's not that...

I'll be better from now on...

to you and to the kids.

Yoon-jin, sleep tight!

Thank you, Yoon-jin!

Mommy is really grateful

for you, honey.

I'll be better from

now on too, okay?

She seems to be maturing at a faster rate

than other children.

Nevertheless, it's a perfectly

normal menstruation.

Then is there nothing wrong?

Yes. Although,

children like Yoon-jin

who show developmental

disability symptoms tend

to express, in some way,

their reaction

to the physical changes.

If you can handle the situation

without panicking,

then everything will be fine.

So... Mrs. Hong,

how are you doing lately...?

I noticed that you took home a hefty

amount of medications recently...

Mrs. Song, Yoon-jin's

symptoms aren't

your fault.

I've told you before,

the medications that you were on

in no way affect the foetus

during a pregnancy...

Wow!

Our Yoon-jin's a big girl now,

so she'll need some

pretty underwear...!

Right, Doctor?

Wow! You're younger than

I expected.

The windows can be cleaned

once a week,

and the bathroom floor needs

to be cleaned everyday.

There's so much hair, because of

the number of women in the house.

And this is my room.

It's a bit messy.

Just leave them there.

I'll get to it later.

Please, it's okay.

That's my fiance. He's working

on his MBA in the U.S.

He said

he'll be back next month,

so you'll see him then.

Handsome, isn't he?

Sunny, what's wrong with you?

Be quiet.

Who, who are you?

I asked you, who are you?

Oh, you're home?

How did the shopping go?

Fine.

But, who's this?

Our new housekeeper.

Housekeeper?

Oh, didn't Jun-ki

tell you yesterday that

the housekeeper was starting

from today?

Oh... yes, I heard.

He's acting strange today...

Usually doesn't bark at all...

Yoon-jin, you don't press there.

Like this...

Press here and don't force

the bow on the strings.

Mi-ju, stop and come to dinner.

Yoon-jin must be hungry too.

We will, so start without us.

Okay. Yoon-hye,

let's go downstairs.

Can't I try it too?

Later, after your sister is done.

Can you handle it?

Handle what?

Teaching Yoon-jin the cello.

I have no choice.

...Why?

Never mind. Hurry on down

so we can eat together.

I will...

Yoon-jin, let's stop for now

and get washed up for dinner.

...Are you happy?

You should be...

That's fine, miss.

I'll take it up myself.

Thanks.

...What's that playing?

It's Kyung-ran's present.

It's an album from 1942,

and the vocal's nickname is

Rainy Melody,

because it always rains

on the day that he sings.

I've been trying to

get it since college,

so Kyung-ran's basically

made my wish come true.

Hmmm... I like it!

Say, honey...

about the new housekeeper...

Yes?

...Can we just let her go?

I understand how you feel,

but it was a special

favor for a friend

who is moving to Canada.

But still,

don't you think

she's a bit too depressing?

...Her family was

in a car accident last year

and she was the only survivor.

She couldn't get over the shock and

tried to commit suicide a few times after that.

So my friend even asked her to move

with them and try to move on with her life.

She turned him down, saying

that she needed to

tend to their graves.

Honey...

She's a real hard worker,

but he asked me because he thought

it would be hard

for her to get a job,

not being able to speak and all.

...Then is the accident the reason

why she can't talk?

Yes, she...

- She drank acid.

- What?

That's how hard it was for her,

you know?

I hope you'll understand.

Okay.

Fine! Is this yours?

Wow, it's so pretty.

Flattery will get you nowhere.

I'm not sucking up.

Is this for the wedding?

That'll look so good on you!

...You think?

The color is a bit inappropriate,

so I'm only gonna wear it

for the outdoors pictures.

But I don't know
