can he die instead of Ahreum?'

I'm a terrible human being.

I knew it then,

I realized how scary being a parent is...

Ahreum loves to ride his father's cab

from time to time.

Rather than a dream,

"What's your dream?"

I wanna be a son

who can make my parents laugh.

Just growing up healthy

brings joy to the parents.

But I can do none of that for mine.

If dad had a healthy son instead of me,

he could've gone camping, or play catch...

So I thought,

'I should at least make them laugh!'

"A TALE OF 5 SIBLINGS"

"will air next week"

Hey bro.

Did you see?

Who is it?

It's me!

- Good evening.

- Mr. Jang!

Yo, Ahreum.

That producer is a prick!

Sir?

How could he accept my drinks

and cut all my interviews?

That's what I'm saying.

How could I, the father,

get less air time than the doctor?

He had that cunning look to him.

The doctor?

No, the shithead producer!

This is the 'shithead producer',

mom's old classmate, Seung-chan.

Mira,

it'll raise the highest donation

in our history.

I told you so.

Thank you,

so many people worked so hard for us.

We should be thanking you.

The rating was incredible.

It was the highest in that time slot,

and one of our top 3.

Thanking you is all I can do.

You contributed so much for us.

Not at all, Ahreum made this happen.

We were just closers.

Ahreum, I'm off to work!

No, your mom'll kill me if I take you.

Damn, I'm late!

Let's just go.

- That little mutt.

- It's Wet Rice!

Careful...

General Hospital please.

I'm riding with my son today,

is that alright?

Weren't you on TV last week?

Right?

Holy sh*t...

So disgusting!

I don't believe this, what the f***!

"A Boy with Progeria Talk of Town"

- It's him, right?

- Look.

Could we take a photo together?

1, 2, 3!

Thank you!

Get well soon!

Bye, study hard!

- Good luck!

- Thank you!

- Shall we?

- Okay.

So you attended P.E. school

to become a taekwondo player?

Nope.

Then what did you want to be?

Well...

I didn't know the answer to that.

The only thing I liked about taekwondo

was the uniform.

Can you be good at it and hate it

at the same time?

Sure, so many people are like that.

A friend of mine was a top ranked math student,

but he said never once enjoyed it.

You had a friend like that? That's a stretch.

Son.

Don't patronize me just because you look older.

Us former athletes are sensitive to that.

Okay, okay.

- Good night.

- Take care.

Hey honey! Get in the back.

Why?

Tada!

- For our family!

- Cheers!

Your mom's in drinking mood.

This feels so nice.

Why do I love the windy day so much?

Me too.

Wind moves electrons in the air to other atoms,

which is what makes you feel good.

So smart!

Who does he take after?
