Who is it?

Hi Da-rin, it's uncle.

Uncle's here.

- Tada!

- Wow!

You've gotten big, Da-rin.

Haven't had dinner yet, right?

Nope.

Shall I treat you

to something nice?

Yahoo!

Uncle's treating us to dinner.

That's great.

Da-rin, you must be thrilled.

Quick, let's change.

How have you been?

Fine.

Da-rin, does it taste good?

Yup.

That's not polite.

You should say "Yes, sir."

Yes, sir.

- Good, eat plenty.

- Yes.

Help yourself, Yul-lin.

Go ahead and eat a lot.

You've lost weight lately.

So, nothing wrong these days?

No.

I kept meaning to visit,

but couldn't get around to it.

No, we're already

indebted to you.

Hey, don't say that.

Ms. Ji-young comes once

in a while, too.

Well, that's her job.

Da-rin, eat plenty.

Okay.

You eat this, too.

Oh, goodness.

You should be careful.

You're all wet.

It'd be better to leave her

with someone at least

until she goes to school.

Alright, I'll stop.

I'm just saying that because

you're having a hard time.

I'm going to school next year.

Right, sis?

That's right.

Time for Da- rin

to go to school.

Da-rin is a big girl now.

All ready to go to school.

Manager Kim...

Yes?

Can I take a picture?

Sure.

Da-rin,

I'll take a picture of you.

Okay.

Come over here.

I told you not to

call me Manager...

It makes us feel distant.

I'm sorry.

I'm taking the picture now.

Say "kimchi"

One, two, three.

How well she sleeps,

my Yul-lin!

She sleeps so well,

my Yul-lin.

You look so pretty

even in your sleep.

Whose daughter

could be so pretty?

Who are you?

Mom.

Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim.

Yes?

You need to

resolve this somehow.

She's been like that

for a month now.

This isn't some motel,

you know.

This is driving me crazy.

We can't do anything.

You know the circumstances

she's in.

I took that into consideration

which is why I waited a month.

Do you know how much

this is costing us?

I could get fired for this.

If I get fired, will you be

responsible for my family?

What about the police

any progress?

It's driving us crazy, too.

It's not like the hit-and-run

culprit will turn himself in.

Plus, no one's around there

at that hour.

Can't do anything

without a witness.

What does the insurance

company say about the kids?

Seems they're

backed up a few months.

They say it'll be tough

because of regulations.

Bastards. Regulations!

Mr. Kim, is it alright to do this?

Dad, do you remember

this place?

Remember what you said

when we came here?

You said you wanted to live

in a place like this later.

They said we couldn't bury you

because we don't have money.

They said to

just scatter your ashes.

But I said no.

I did a good job, huh?

Dad.

They said mom needs to stay

in the hospital a little longer.

It might get dull by yourself,

but just be a little patient.

I'll bring mom here soon.

Are you having a good time?

Why, do you think I'm a jerk?

Because I didn't go

when you invited me

and just called instead?

I just felt like calling.

You know what?

Never mind.

Sorry to bother you.

I'll hang up now.

Blood temperature

Cool or Hot

School records

I told you to drop by freely, but

you only come when I call you.

So how's it going lately?

With what?

Are you having a hard time?

I'm okay.

What about your sister?

Are you still keeping her

with you?

No, she's at a nursery.

It's been a while now.

Is that so?

Good, that's probably best.

It's not like you two

are totally separated.

Your grades have

gone down a bit.

They're pretty good at this rate,

but try harder.

Yes, ma'am.

It might be tough and hard

right now...

But the future's

much more important

than the present. Understand?

And lots of kids

don't have parents.

Don't let it get you down.

Yes, ma'am.

Is there anything

you'd like to say?

Any worries on your mind?

No.

Alright.

Any pain or illnesses?

None.

Okay, then you can go.

Come see me

whenever you need to.

The door is always open.

I lied.

But I don't feel sorry about it.

Let's do a group blind date

tomorrow, OK?

Don't want to.

Don't want to.

Why not?!

Why not?!

Judt because.

Shut up. Quit the games.

We're going!

I said no.

Stop text messaging!

Come on, why not??

I won't go if you don't.

Please??

If I catch anyone

text messaging, you're dead.

This is Da- rin's

and this is mine.

All right!

That's good.

Da- rin.

Huh?

You can play

by yourself, right?

I'll be right back so don't cry

and fuss like last time.

I won't cry.

But can I have some

ice cream?

Sure.

Ready to order?

One ice cream, please.

One ice cream?

Da-rin, I'll be right back.

So don't go anywhere.

Wait here.

Okay, sis.

Jae-won!

Da-rin.

Da-rin.

Poor Da-rin,

did you wait long?

Get up, let's go home.

I played by myself

like a good girl.

And I didn't cry.

Really?

Such a good girl!

Let's go home now.

Are you sleepy?

Let's go home and sleep tight.

Powerful shot, Ju-go.

Great.

What's gotten into you today?

You alright?

I don't know.

I just feel like...

There's something inside me.

There she is.

Yul-lin!

Yes, three years is the limit.

But there's no releasing

a body early.

I know about

the regulations, too.

But it's been two years,

and she really wants this.

Please help her.

But her body has been

donated.

We have to use it for a detailed

tissue autopsy and take samples.

If it's because of the

hospital bills...

I told you the outstanding bills

would be paid in full.

Mr. Kim, this isn't a pawnshop.

We have regulations

for a reason.

Young lady.

I thought

everything was settled,

and you held the funeral.

Yes, but...

I'm sorry

but I have nothing more to say.

It's out of my hands.

I'm sorry, but please

understand and go home.

Sorry.

What shall we do?

Looks like it'll be tough.

Hello?

Hello?

Hi, Yul-lin!

I see you called.

What are you talking about?

That's not what I meant.

Yeah, good job.

What did you say?

Sorry, I couldn't hear you.

Wait, don't hang up.

Hello? Hello?

Baek Ju-go

Wow, he's cute.

His name's Baek Ju-go.

Funny name.

Yul-lin

Yul-lin

Hello?

It's me, Baek Ju-go.

Oh, hi.

What are you doing?

Know where I am right now?

Well, I think it'd be better

for you not to be there.

I'm not breaking the rules.

You didn't say

I couldn't come see you.

Fool.

What are you talking about?

I'm the one who called.

Is that so?

Doesn't your school have

after-school classes?

Of course we do.

You're a slacker.

Why does that sound

like a compliment to me?

Of course it does.

Because you're stupid.

You've changed cell phones.

Huh?

Yeah.

Not too tired?

I'm fine.

Are you really okay?

Yes.

I'll carry your bag for you.

That's okay.

Let me carry your bag.

Hey, you had a camera, too,

all along.

Stop it!

What's with you? Don't.

How pretty!

Want me to take a picture

of you?

No don't.

Why not?

I don't know, just do it later.

You know what?

Huh?

If you really want to

take a picture,

take one for me

when I'm sleeping.

When you're sleeping?

Yeah,

when I'm in a deep sleep.
