I'm not like that.

We athletes don't think evil.

And I worked so hard to

set this place up.

I even starved, you know?

Sorry to hear that,

but as an adult,

don't you think you need to

guide kids in the right direction?

I mean...

Say something.

She's got it all wrong, right?

You really shouldn't have.

What?

I'll go to ballet lessons.

No, you don't have to.

I thought you liked ballet.

Gina is there.

Gina?

The one you got in a fight with?

Is she mean to you?

No, I just didn't want to go.

There's going to be a lot of

difficulties in life.

You can't always run away from them.

Why don't we do this?

Let's invite Gina and some

friends over for your birthday.

I've never done that.

Studying hard before

the party, really?

I'm not studying, just homework.

Where are your friends?

Are they running late?

Not coming.

What?

No one's coming.

Hey, what are you doing?

Let's celebrate your birthday!

Who does homework

on her birthday?

Happy Birthday!

I like you so much~

I'll give you everything~

For you, my heart~

Sora, what else do you want to do?

Want to ride your bike?

I can't ride.

But I bought you a bike.

You just bought it.

To your right, right.

Balance it.

To your right, right, right.

Come on, balance!

I said right.

You keep leaning left.

You have to balance yourself.

I can't balance myself.

Stop looking back, fattie!

I'm done.

What?

The bike's too big for me!

You need to ride till next year.

Why don't I learn to ride

next year then?

It's my birthday and

you're calling me fattie.

I'm sorry.

I won't call you fattie.

Sora, I got you right here.

Don't worry about a thing,

just keep looking ahead.

See that light post?

Let's make it over there.

Get back on it.

Good. Let's go.

You're doing so good.

You got me, right?

I got you.

You're doing so good.

Mom, I can ride now.

We need to have you admitted now.

Okay.

Don'tjust say ok.

You can't handle it anymore.

But I take all my medicine on time.

The meds won't cure you.

They're just pain killers.

You never know how fast

the cancer can spread.

Let's check you in today.

Doc, I get scared easily.

If I thought I couldn't handle it,

I'd be the first to check in.

Bye Aunt. I'm going now.

Okay.

Aunt.

Yes?

Can you walk me home?

Oh, sure.

Auntie.

Yes?

Mom takes a lot of pills.

A lot...

Is she really sick?

Real bad?

Yeah...

Where is she sick?

Sora, your mom is really sick.

But she's going to the hospital,

and we're all praying for her.

So she'll be fine soon.

Liar.

That's all lies.

What are you saying?

I know it, too.

Big hospital, lots of medicine...

And she keeps passing out,

throwing up...

Hey, that's just...

Is she dying?

Is mom going to die?

Don't lie to me.

I might hate you later.

Sora, your mom...

How soon?

We don't know yet.

Your mom is a strong person.

Please don't tell her.

She's got enough on her hands.

Okay.

Mom, I'm going to school.

Hey, mommy can't right now...

I know. Stop eating so much,

mommy pig!

What about your hair?

I'm good at doing my hair!

Bye mom!

80% chance of rain

Mom...

Surprise!

Told you to bring an umbrella.

Let's go!

Sleepy, huh?

I'm almost done.

Told you to stay home,

didn't I?

I'm not sleepy at all.

When I'm with you,

I don't want to go to sleep.

Why not?

With my eyes closed...

I can't see your face.

Mom.

Why didn't you wear a wedding dress

when you got married?

Your dad was poor back then.

He got me a nice dress instead.

Then you just make dresses?

I guess so.

You don't want to wear it?

Me?

What do you want?

Game player!

Traitor!

OMG.

Why did you do that anyway?

And you never came back afterwards.

Girls. You're all the same.

So did Mi-young.

Did you get in a lot of trouble?

My mom doesn't get mad at me.

That's good.

I thought you were in serious trouble.

Don't you think I'm nice though?

I take the fall for you and

still buy you ice cream.

Hey, mister.

What?

Have you been to a radio studio?

Radio?

Do you like me walking you to school?

Yes.

Mom!

Yeah?

What if I didn't go to school today?

Why not?

I just want to hang out

with you all day.

What if your teacher

gets mad at me again?

I'll take the blame.

Shall we?

Okay, let's go home!

I'm skipping ballet, too.

Of course. No problem.

What shall we do at home?

Let's hang out and read comics.

Mom, look at this shell...

Mom!

Mommy!

Shoot me now.

What economic down time?

You kidding?

Everyone's driving everywhere.

Damn traffic.

Rough day?

Don't even start with me.

You have no idea

how busy I was today.

What a bridezilla!

I just handed her

over to Suran and ran.

Told you to hire more people.

Why would I do that?

Why do you keep saying that?

You need to hire someone new.

You're right.

I do need a better designer than you.

But I don't think I can find

anyone as easy going as you.

Satisfied?

I can't come in... anymore.

Fine.

Let's hear what you have to say.

Why can't you come in?

Who's paying you more?

Are you getting your own shop?

Why do you keep bringing it up?

I'll be gone soon.

Where are you going?

To Sora's dad. Soon.

Suran. Hey, Suran!

Are you kidding me?

Who do you think you're talking to?

Hey, go home.

I don't want to see you.

You, you're fired!

Don't come back.

I'll send you your things.

Go home!

Come on in.

Is Sora here?

Yes, she says she'll be living here.

What?

What's going on?

I'm going to live here.

We eat here every day anyway.

Let's just stay.

What?

I packed your stuff too

so you can live here with me.

Oh Miss Mija.

You're gonna make me cry.

What a life? You worked so hard

to make a living, and now this?

I have heard that line before.

You think it's funny?

Should I be crying then?

My eyes are sore.

Fine.

What are you going to

do about Sora?

I don't know.

What do you mean?

Is Ji-hye going to raise her?

I understand you're not yourself.

My husband's business tanked again.

We're scraping everything

and emigrating.

We can take Sora with us.

Canada will be better

for her to study.

Wouldn't blood family be

better for her anyway?

I know it's hard for you right now.

But Sora needs a good life.

With her dad already gone,

and now her mom...

Anyway, Sora won't make it in Korea.

Even if it's hard for you,

that's reality.

Your insurance beneficiary...

it's Sora, right?

What are you doing outside?

You're home.

It's getting colder.

Yeah, it is.

Yeo-Woon was here.

Is it?

Her husband's business

isn't doing well.

It seemed that way.

They are emigrating.

Emigration?

Asked if they could take Sora.

That was thoughtful.

Also, asked about insurance benefit.

Mom, I'm going to school.

Bye son.

Hi, Aunt.

See you later.

Who is it?

Oh, hey.

How could you?

What?

How could you do that?

Have you any idea

what you've done to that dying girl,

who forgets she's sick,

worried about her daughter?

If you business is gone,

fix it yourselves.

How dare you ask for money to...

Go-Woon has lived with me
