They stare because you wear this

like a celebrity.

Han Ahreum, look at me.

Who am I?

I was a teenage mom.

How many years have we walked this road?

13 years.

Right.

Your uncle cried like a baby

after his circumcision,

when he was your age.

But you went through treatments

that are far worse.

Yeah...

Not everyone can do that.

You're doing something incredible.

So, walk proud and let them stare, got it?

Okay.

Let's go.

- But mom...

- Yeah?

I heard circumcision is really painful...

How'd you know?

I read it online.

But not as painful as giving birth.

Mom wrote down dad's best

and worst qualities.

According to her, his best qualities

were 'tall and kind'.

His worst were...

'too tall, and too kind'.

- I felt it!

- Wow!

So cool!

But her dad thought otherwise.

"The only thing he's good

at is getting my daughter pregnant!"

Then grandma said

"at least he's good at something".

"1 New E-mail"

Hi. My name is Lee Suh-ha.

I'm 16, same age as you.

I managed to get your e-mail

from the TV station.

They probably took pity on me

because I'm sick too.

After seeing your episode,

I thought we could be friends.

A minute of my life

feels like an eternity too.

Good luck, wish you well.

Lee Suh-ha?

Hi. My name is Lee Suh-ha. Same age as you.

Hi. My name is Lee Suh-ha. Same age as you.

Hi. My name is Lee Suh-ha.

Same age as you.

It's all my fault.

What is?

I think it was all my fault.

Mira, it's no one's fault, it just happened.

Doctors said so, it's not genetic.

If only I didn't do that then...

Ahreum wouldn't be like that.

How many times have I told you?

It was a random mutation.

Jogging while pregnant didn't cause it.

My mom didn't know she was pregnant

and did all kinds of exercises.

No!

I ran 10, 20 laps all night until

my heart was ready to explode!

I prayed, 'please don't let it be born'.

Dae-su...

Could our baby...ever come home again?

Don't say that.

I ran 10, 20 laps all night until

my heart was ready to explode.

"That Brilliant Summer"

I prayed, 'please don't let it be born'.

"Would you like to permanently erase

'Cosmos.hwp'?"

'Please don't let it be born'.

Mr. Jang, I'll be admitted tomorrow.

That's good.

When do you discharge?

Well...When I get better.

You'll be out in no time.

Does that taste good?

Soju?

It's foul, of course.

Then why do you drink it?

Do you stop living because life's foul? Nope.

Same can be said about soju.

Damn, that'll kill me!

Strange, eh?

You're too young to know.

- Mr. Jang?

- Yes?

Is it normal for a girl to see me

and want to be my friend?

How could that be normal?

She's probably sick too.

How did you know? That she's sick?
