for a minute?

What is it?

It won't take long.

It won't take long.

I have a special gift for you.

What kind of gift?

Mrs Lee from the piano school

is here, dear.

- Welcome.

- Hello.

Well... I...

I heard all about you.

About me?

How you've been hit by tragedy...

Why you've moved to Miryang...

So I'd like...

This is a truly precious gift...

It contains the Word of God.

Read it when you get home.

But I don't believe in

that stuff.

Really? Maybe you believe only

in what you can see?

You doubt what you can't see?

I don't believe everything

I see either!

Mrs Lee, if you look outside...

...you see people and cars.

But there are things

you can't see too!

Oh! Where did Jun go?

Mrs Lee...

When you believe in God...

...you see everything the naked eye

can't see.

I mean...

The world is really

filled with happiness...

With gratitude and

peace of mind.

Before we accept God,

we humans...

...know only half of the world

around us.

Anyway... thanks for the gift.

Yes, for unappy people like yourself,

God's love is crucial.

I'm not unappy, Ma'am,

I'm doing fine.

I have to go,

I can't see my son.

- Do read it.

- Okay.

Jun, where are you?

Are you here?

Jun, where are you?

Jun!

Jun!

Jun... where are you?

Jun!

Jun... where are you?

Jun... where are you?

Jun!

Gotcha!

Where are you going?

Come back!

Award for the Most Outstanding

Performance in Piano...

You got an award, sister?

I used to play pretty well.

I only stopped because

I married so young.

Why did you marry so young?

How's Dad doing?

You know how he is.

You left without a word.

You want to sever all ties?

That's the idea.

So, why are you here?

Is he really snoring?

He's not asleep.

Stop that, Jun!

I told you not to!

Sleep in your bed, it's late.

Say good night to uncle.

Good night, Jun.

He's imitating his dad.

His dad used to snore...

...when he slept.

When he misses his dad...

...he pretends to snore.

You know...

...I miss that sonuvabitch too.

I...

...really don't get you.

Why do you miss him?

And why on earth...

...do you have to live in his

hometown, Miryang?

After all...

...he cheated on you

with another woman.

No, you idiot.

They got it all wrong.

Jurs father...

...only loved the two of us,

Jun and me.

He wasrt like they say.

Do you believe that?

Are you in denial?

Shut up!

Or go back to Seoul.

I hate Seoul.

I like it here.

You know why?

Because no-one knows me.

I can start over here.

The road over there...

It's the Daegu-Busan Highway!

And that's the high-speed train.

Really a great plot of land.

They say electronics industries

will set up here.

The locatiors perfect.

Great access, and
