Now listen carefully to what I have to say. It's going to be a long story.

한여주 image

한여주

okay.

박지민 image

박지민

Before we get into the main topic, I'll tell you about my past. You'll probably know about it anyway, and you'll probably be curious.

박지민 image

박지민

You'll know that I was abused because you heard it from Taehyung, and I'll tell you the story later.

한여주

Nod) …

Four years ago, a few days before I parted ways with my older sister, I heard the news of my grandfather's awakening. I didn't want to go to America, but I was powerless at the time, so I had no choice but to go. At first, I hated and resented my grandfather for bringing me to America, but later I realized I was wrong.

박지민 image

박지민

I realized my grandfather had called me to America to protect me. But by the time I realized that, his condition had worsened, and he passed away a few days later.

박지민 image

박지민

And after he passed away, he wrote me a letter along with his will.

지민 할아버지

"I'm sorry I raised you so poorly. If I had paid more attention, you and your mother wouldn't have been separated. I'm so sorry."

지민 할아버지

"I will leave my fortune to you, my grandson. I will take everything away from Sangcheol. You will live happily."

지민 할아버지

'- I have one last request to make, even though I'm ashamed of it. I'd like you to take care of Louis.'

박지민 image

박지민

So I inherited all of my grandfather's property and, as per his will, I was going to go to Korea, but that person had already intervened and prevented me from even going near the airport.

박지민 image

박지민

Then, with someone's help, I saved my life and was able to come to Korea.

한여주 image

한여주

…I kind of expected it, but life is truly spectacular. It must have been so hard to handle at such a young age…

박지민 image

박지민

(Lonely smile) … Everything is okay now. It’s already in the past.

한여주 image

한여주

박지민 image

박지민

From now on, it's my worry.

박지민 image

박지민

I'm planning to ruin that guy right now at the inauguration ceremony. There will be a few reporters there, and I'm going to use that to my advantage to take him down.

박지민 image

박지민

Then it will spread quickly on TV, the internet, and social media, and then the whole country will know that I am that person's son, and my past may be exposed.

박지민 image

박지민

Should I avoid those gazes out of fear? Or should I charge straight at them? What do you think, Yeoju?

한여주 image

한여주

…If you’re going to avoid it, where are you going to avoid it?

박지민 image

박지민

America. That's where I worked while I was in the US. A friend of mine told me my position there was vacant.

한여주 image

한여주

It'll be here for a few years.

박지민 image

박지민

Well... about a year.

박지민 image

박지민

You don't have to go to the US. There are other options. It hasn't been decided yet, so you can take your time deciding.

한여주 image

한여주

In my head, I want you to go to America, but in my heart, I want you to stay in Korea.

박지민 image

박지민

You too.

한여주 image

한여주

But if you want to avoid it, you can. I won't stop you from going to the US. I respect your opinion, no matter what you choose. Haha.

박지민 image

박지민

My lady…

한여주 image

한여주

But Jimin, there's a saying, "If you can't avoid it, enjoy it." If you think about it, that saying is actually true.

한여주 image

한여주

I think it would be better to confront it head on just once rather than keep avoiding it.

박지민 image

박지민

한여주 image

한여주

If you stay in Korea and regret your choice, are afraid, and scared, come to me.

한여주 image

한여주

I will block everything and I will protect you.

박지민 image

박지민

… he

한여주 image

한여주

(Majestic) Don't you trust me, sister? In the past, sister fought 10 to 1.

박지민 image

박지민

(Laughs) I'm really going crazy over this one. Hahahaha

한여주 image

한여주

What? You look like you don't believe me? I really do.

Side-

박지민 image

박지민

I was worrying about something useless. The answer was already decided.

한여주 image

한여주

Huh? Have you decided already?

한여주 image

한여주

What is it? Is it America? Is it Korea?

Side - ×3

한여주 image

한여주

Oh really! Stop kissing me!! Tell me!!

박지민 image

박지민

Sighㅡ) I won't go to America and I'll stay by your side.

한여주 image

한여주

really?

박지민 image

박지민

Yeah, really.

한여주 image

한여주

Jimin hug) You chose well. Haha

박지민 image

박지민

What? You said you respected my choice just now.

한여주 image

한여주

(A little) Well... that's true, but...

한여주 image

한여주

So what? You're staying. Haha

박지민 image

박지민

Behind the scenes

A year ago in the United States

English→*

박지민 image

박지민

Ugh...

Jimin was dragged somewhere and beaten for no reason, leaving his whole body covered in wounds and blood.

박지민 image

박지민

Anger) * Tell me straight. Who told you to do this?!

"* I'm probably one of the people you hate. lol"

박지민 image

박지민

(Mumbling) Well, there's no one else who would do this.

"*What? What is he saying?"

박지민 image

박지민

You guys are curious about what I'm talking about right now, right? lol

"* Crazy X."

박지민 image

박지민

It's not me who's crazy, it's you!!

The warehouse door opens behind Jimin with the sound of someone hitting his head.

Boomㅡ/ Bang!!ㅡ

"* Don't move. You are surrounded." Police

Jimin's vision becomes blurry as someone approaches him.

"No...no...please...please..."

박지민 image

박지민

(I can't see the face) Korean person..

Boom-

박지민 image

박지민

(Open your eyes) …

류다온 image

류다온

Are you awake?

박지민 image

박지민

Ryu Da-on...

류다온 image

류다온

(Press the call number) It's amazing to be alive.

박지민 image

박지민

here..

류다온 image

류다온

It's a hospital. Be careful.

류다온 image

류다온

You tell me to be careful on the road every day. Are you getting hurt?

박지민 image

박지민

…what does that mean?

류다온 image

류다온

Don't you remember? You almost got into a car accident.

박지민 image

박지민

A traffic accident..?

After a while, a doctor and a nurse come in, do some tests, and leave because there is nothing wrong.

류다온 image

류다온

Wait a minute, mom is coming now.

Drumroll_

다온 엄마

(Runs to Jimin and hugs him.) Jimin~

Explosion-

다온 엄마

Do you know how worried I was? Are you feeling okay? Do you recognize me?

류다온 image

류다온

My body is fine and my head is fine. There's no need to worry.

다온 엄마

(Relief) That's fortunate.

류다온 image

류다온

(Jealousy) If someone saw me, they would think I was my mother's son. Even though I'm a stranger.

다온 엄마

(Daon hit) Where did you get the habit of telling your brother to leave?!!

Time! ×2

류다온 image

류다온

Oh my gosh mom!!

다온 엄마

I'll hit you because it hurts.

류다온 image

류다온

Tch! I hate Mom. I'm going to Dad.

다온 엄마

Yeah. You go home with your dad. Jimin was busy taking care of you all night.

류다온 image

류다온

I don't want to, but I want to take care of my brother.

다온 엄마

You go home with your dad.

류다온 image

류다온

no!!

다온 엄마

(Tingle) You're going to skip school tomorrow, right? Where the X talk is coming from.

류다온 image

류다온

(A little hot)...

박지민 image

박지민

For now, go in today and come back tomorrow after school.

류다온 image

류다온

.. okay.

류다온 image

류다온

I'm leavingㅡ)

다온 엄마

Jimin's face looks like this (Oh my, my baby, this handsome face is all ruined).

다온 엄마

Is there anything you want to eat?

박지민 image

박지민

(Sigh) No. More importantly, how did I get here? What about the traffic accident?

다온 엄마

First of all, I'm worried that Daon will be surprised. He's surrounded by traffic accidents.

다온 엄마

How did you get here? You got a suspicious call.

박지민 image

박지민

Suspicious call?

다온 엄마

(Nod) Yeah. I told you to go to the ★★ warehouse right now. The mask is supposed to be there for you.

박지민 image

박지민

Who is the sender?

다온 엄마

There was no caller, the voice was distorted, and most importantly, it was in Korean.

박지민 image

박지민

Is it Korean?

다온 엄마

Yeah, it's weird. It's kind of rare to see Korean spoken in America.

박지민 image

박지민

Yeah, that's true. Was there anything else strange?

다온 엄마

… Well… he kept using honorifics towards me… and…

다온 엄마

At the end he said this.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you."

다온 엄마

He spoke as if he knew you.

박지민 image

박지민

박지민 image

박지민

What about the people who hit me?

다온 엄마

I put those motherfuckers in jail. I used my connections to make sure they rot there for the rest of their lives.

박지민 image

박지민

Thank you always.

다온 엄마

No need to thank me. Haha

다온 엄마

By the way, Park Sang-cheol is a fucking idiot. I'm going to get a Korean plane ticket and get really pissed off right away (talking harshly)

박지민 image

박지민

Just hold on a little longer. If you do that, your aunt will get hurt.

다온 엄마

Oh my, when did my baby grow up so much?

다온 엄마

Jimin.

박지민 image

박지민

yes.

다온 엄마

Do you really not want to see your mom?

박지민 image

박지민

Nod) Yes. Not yet. Haha

다온 엄마

…Okay, make sure to show Mom to your aunt later.

박지민 image

박지민

Yes. Haha
