It's not just any button!
For three years, from my heart
it witnessed all 3 years of my school life, like a black box!
That button...
If only I had delivered it where Yi Seul wanted it to be,
it could've been my second button too.
You thief! Hand it over!
Apologize and give it back!
I bet you'll have someone too.
Someone who'll be more sad that you decided to give up baseball.
It's me, Ham Yi Seul.
Kang Baek Ho would never hurt me.
Yi Seul was always by my side
so I thought I'd be able to confess my feelings whenever I wanted to.
Episode 7
This one.
It's my first.
Wh... who do you think you are!
Kang Baek Ho, you...
Don't think that you can pull any prank on me just because I'd take it!
If you try this one more time, I'll tell grandpa!
Wait, wait. Yi Seul, that's not it.
Don't follow me!
It's true, it doesn't work.
This shouldn't be happening.
Say no more. Give me a refund.
Ah, why is this causing so much trouble?
Here, I'll take care him first.
You recognize me from somewhere, right?
Yes.
I've a common face, so all the customers say that.
Anyway, why isn't this working?
Happy Valentine's Day.
Hello everyone. Valentine's day is here again this year.
For couples, today is like a melting truffle chocolate
and for singles, a bitter whisky bonbon.
But one thing for sure is that
at least for this one day, we'll all be thinking about love.
[Chan Wook]
Hey, Kang Baek Ho! Why aren't you coming?
Where?
Hey, how could you forget this?
It's Yi Seul's engagement party.
Hey man, you listening? You're singing for them, remember?
Hello?
[You are invited to the engagement party of Kwon Jin Won and Ham Yi Seul]
Did you get in touch with him?
He was still sleeping, huh?
No. It didn't seem like it.
Is he really coming?
I... think so.
You think so?
Wow. Of course!
You look great.
You're really handsome!
What are guys like me supposed to do? How can you be so superior?
I want to hear this from the bride, not you guys.
So, people won't say I'm a thief?
You'll get that no matter how hot you are.
An old teacher using his position to pick up his innocent little student!
An old teacher and little student?
Is this some kind of soap opera?
And, Coach looks 5 years younger than you!
Hey, Chae Ri. How can you be so sharp...
-My dear Yi Seul~ -And whose beautiful daughter is this?
She's my daughter for sure, but I'm not sure about you.
What do you mean?
Yi Seul, let's practice walking down the aisle.
That's only for weddings.
We don't do that at the engagement party?
Ah, not again.
-Were you practicing all night? -Too obvious?
Hey, Kang Baek Ho! What are you doing here?
I told you, you didn't have to come today.
-I wanted to be here. -It's really okay.
Today I really want to be here.
-To start? -Yes.
It's just a second tier game.
No need to practice this much. Your expression makes it feel like we're in the WBC finals.
It doesn't matter which level this is.
Practice or real, a game is a game.
And today, I really want to be on the mound.
Okay, get ready then.
Throwing a ball was my only consolation.
If I didn't play ball now, I thought I'd really go crazy.
[Engagement. Kwon Jin Won and Ham Yi Seul]
I was no longer relieved that it wasn't a wedding.
What would make Yi Seul choose me and not the coach.
No, why was it the coach and not me?
It made me angry.
No. Be honest, Kang Baek Ho.
You're not angry because of Yi Seul, but because this is all you still are.
This is all that Kang Baek Ho you amount to.
Foul!
You don't know anything.
Baek Ho, you...
really don't know anything.
Kang Baek Ho! Hey, Baek Ho!
Hey that, that...
If this happened any earlier, it would've disrupted the engagement.
Thanks, for exploding towards the end.
I'm sorry.
Yi Seul didn't come. I didn't let her.
I wouldn't want to show her this side of myself.
I won't ask why you caused such a huge incident today.
But the next time you decide to do this, I hope you give Yi Seul or me a warning sign.
I'm sorry, Coach.
This makes me unworthy of being a coach or agent.
Just apologize to Yi Seul no matter what.
You know how she is, right.
Oh my!
No fear, huh. You're about to get married,
and at the playground in the middle of the night?
Coming home now?
I'm sorry.
About what?
Not coming to the engagement party?
Or, for starting a fight and getting suspended.
Both.
Aren't you sick of it?
What, the swing?
That movie.
Well, it's my mentor.
Who, Tom Cruise?
No, Jerry Maguire.
You didn't know, did you?
I...
wanted to become a better agent than Jin Won.
To become a really smart, and capable agent.
To become Kang Baek Ho's Jerry Maguire.
That was my dream.
I should've studied harder.
And become more capable.
There must be something special about that agent, if that player trusts in her.
I wanted that kind of recognition.
Hey, think you're like Princess Pyeonggang?
So you're admitting you're similar to the idiot Ondal she saved?
Hey-
Here, take this.
What is this?
I didn't get to see you because I was away last Christmas.
I kept forgetting about it, and remembered today.
This... may be my last Christmas gift to you.
I feel like I've been repeating the same things to you:
chin up, feel better, do your best.
But today,
I want to say something different.
Kang Baek Ho!
You don't have to force yourself to do more, it's alright.
So far, you've been doing your very best,
and to me, you're already the best player.
Remember that being the #1 fan for Kang Baek Ho
is my life's pride.
Merry Christmas.
I'm the one who's always receiving.
As a child, my Father passed away
and Mom was never home.
I started looking forward to Christmas again, after meeting Yi Seul.
But I...
But you, Kang Baek Ho...
Why haven't you ever prepared a gift for her?
Do you really have the right to be angry,
that Yi Seul didn't choose you?
If only I could give her a gift...
Go back in time,
and just once, make it right.
If only I could give Yi Seul a gift, so she could feel
the excitement and joy of creating precious memories.
That's what I want to give her.
There are two from Park Cheol Su?
Uh, oh, Conductor!
That's a good reaction.
Lots of people predicted I'd be back by now,
and would probably take my presence for granted.
Ah! Thank you so much.
I'm so happy to see you back here.
Thank you so much, really!
1982 MVP Professional League...
The miraculous 22-win streak!
This was all before you were born. How'd you get these?
These are rare items.
These were left to me by my father.
This other Park Cheol Su...
honestly, I like this one better.
Well that one's from 1995.
A pitcher who got messed up after 14 years in the pro league,
Legends never keep a man's name clean.
And we know he met his desperate fate at the mound.
I think it was a much more valorous decision,
rather than becoming a boring legend.
That's why I really want this ball.
Enough to want to send you back where you came from.
Ah, thank you.
Thank you!
Hey, be thankful to this pitcher instead.
And get some of this fighting spirit too!
Yes sir, I'll do that.
I won't forget, I really won't.
Renovatio...Renovatio... Renovatio...
Yi Seul--
Punches are timing!
Hey, hey! Put 'em up, up!
Hurry up and put 'em up!
What are you doing? Get it together!
Hey, he can't get up!
You're supposed to count to ten!
I said so. Now give me my money from the bet.
If I'm KO-ed as soon as I'm back,
what am I supposed to do, Kang Baek Ho?
The coach... did you see that?
That was all business.
His shoulders are like boulders!
He's like Popeye!
Who knew he'd have a body like that when he looks like a pretty boy.
This is the most fabulous surprise ever.
What about me, huh?
You're...cursed with the worst kind of body.
Just accept what you have and don't ask for more.
So then why did we have such a predictable match?
What do you mean?
You're the one who wanted this so much.
You idiot, Kang Baek Ho.
What were you thinking!
Oh, it looks like a performance! Let's go.
Ah, it's just one week to Christmas now.
That means that in two weeks,
another page of my youth will be ripped off.
When you're depressed like this,
of course, shopping is the cure!
In just one week.
That means I still have a chance this Christmas!
Hey, but...
What do you think girls want the most for Christmas?
That's easy. A designer bag or shoes.
No, not what Chae Ri wants.
It'll depend on the recipient,
but won't they like anything if it's from a guy they like?
It's only a problem if he doesn't give her anything.
Why didn't you tell me earlier that it's a problem not to give a gift, Chan Wook?
Hey, it's your style.
That's not my style!
Ah, I'm telling you it's not my style.
If you like it, go in and try it on.
Trying it on doesn't cost anything.
Should I?
Yi Seul's reflection was so pretty,
I almost lost consciousness.
So does it look good on me?
Yeah, sure. It's...
It's a great coat, covering up enough of your humble body.
What?
It looks good.
How much is this?
Thank you.
Good bye.
Why, how much was it?
Nah, don't worry about it. Let's go.
Where are the others?
Just one moment.
This coat, how much is it?
You're going to buy it for your girlfriend?
It really did look good on her.
She looked the best in it out of all the people who tried it on.
So how much is it?
$499
What?
If you come to buy it I'll make it $490.
$490...
Ma'am.
I promise I'll come to buy it by Christmas Eve,
could you hold onto just one of them for me?
Will you really come for it?
Yes! I'll definitely be here to buy it.
You know Santa doesn't give liars any gifts, right?
Oh yeah, of course I know that.
Please, hold one for me. Okay, yeah?
Alright, I'll do that.
This is it, Kang Baek Ho.
There's one week left. It's life or death!
Get out of the way, here we go, take 1!
Myung Hee, can we...
Take 2!
Hey, why are you so lifeless?
Why is it just the two of you?
I don't know, everyone's going nuts with their part time jobs.
They're so busy making money there's no time to play.
Why are you in such a gloomy mood?
Happy Christmas day is tomorrow!
Joo Tae Nam. Can you join me somewhere?
Hey, you haven't even finished your food!
Aigoo, look at the great Yoo Chae Ri now.
Once a bowl of black bean noodles leaves, it never comes back again.
That's what life is like. Lady Na said that so many times...
Wow Jin Joo!
That color is so me!
Jin Joo, you have until Christmas, so make sure it's long.
Very long.
So dependable.
Independent Club Research?
"Thoughts on Creating New Professional Baseball Team"
"Third Generation Baseball Club"
When did you do all this research?
When I first met you all, Kang Baek Ho said this to me:
"To the world, there may be things more valuable than baseball."
"But for some people, nothing can replace baseball."
Especially for people like him and myself.
Baek Ho said that?
I decided right then...
I wouldn't run away from something I love.
I got a new dream thanks to him.
A dream?
I wanted to make a new club.
A new club?
A club for players like Baek Ho who need to get out of a slump.
For players who were dropped from being professionals...
For professionals who never got to play.
For players who are struggling to survive.
A club to nurture and train those kind of players.
Is there a club like that?
There isn't yet.
That's why I want to make one.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You're so disgraceful.
Disgraceful?
Disgraceful that you've kept that great dream all to yourself.
Then do you want to help me out?
I really think we need a manager like you to help out.
Really?
You can't take it back.
Speak for yourself.
It's Jerry Maguire!
Have you seen it? Actually, this movie...
- ...is the story of my life. - ...is the story of my life.
Coach and Manager...
Coach, shall we watch this?
Aren't you going to ask what we're doing here?
I don't really care.
I'm just glad that we're together.
Sorry.
Are you sick? What's the matter?
You're not being yourself.
Truth is...
I'm here to meet my boyfriend.
It's your guerrilla operation?
Do you want me to back you up just in case?
I'll buy it later. Eat this first.
Come on Dae Jung.
You're very good with kids. My husband just gets upset.
How old is your baby?
How many kids? Two? Three?
I'm a bachelor!
- I'm a student! - Oh my.
I thought you were my husband's age.
Well, how old is your husband?
Thirty three.
I'm ten years younger than that.
Chae Ri, let's go...
Thank you. Merry Christmas.
We have cake. On sale for Christmas!
Yes, cake...
What's wrong, kid?
Do you want cake?
Mister, are you really Santa Claus?
What?
Then can I tell you my wish?
Your wish? What is it?
Your dad? Where is he?
Do you have an older brother or a younger sibling?
- Where's your mom? - She's at work.
Then do you have friends?
Yeah. I do.
Kyung Ryung, Min Jae, and Seo Yeon.
You like Seo Yeon, don't you?
Oh yeah!
There's a cake your dad left with Santa. Do you want it now or later at night?
Really? Dad told you to give me something?
Of course.
Hold on. Let me see.
Here.
Lies. You're lying right? Santa doesn't even know my name.
How do you know my dad?
Why wouldn't I know? Your name is Kim Do Hyun.
Haneul Kindergarten, Class Three, Kim Do Hyun. Right?
How did you know? Are you really Santa? Is this really from my dad?
Of course. But if you don't take this now, another Santa will take it away.
Are you okay with that?
Oh no. Thank you. Merry Christmas Santa.
What kind of Santa lies to children?
Good work!
- Oh. Are you here to buy cake? - Yeah you punk.
But why are you working as a Santa?
What kind of Santa is this skinny?
- A Santa should be as built as me. - That's right. You need a perfect beer belly...
Hey!
Just take this.
No...why are you...
I wanted to throw these away, which is why I'm dumping them with you.
But still...
By the way, why do you never visit to eat?
We always serve food that you like to eat.
Okay, I'll stop by sometime.
Here you go.
- Thank you. Goodbye. - Good luck.
Please buy some cake...
Please buy some cake. It's on sale for Christmas.
I told you I was busy.
A moment. It'll only be a moment.
I couldn't reach you, and it's been a while.
Besides, it's Christmas.
Yoo Chae Ri. A girl like you should have caught on by now.
I'm not a student anymore. I'm a very busy intern.
I'm exhausted enough taking care of things other than you.
Let's end this.
I'll do better.
I'll be more understanding.
I won't even ask to meet.
You think I don't know you?
You're just a girl to date.
I don't need a girl to date, I need a girl to marry.
Didn't we love each other?
Seriously.
Why are you being so childish?
All this talk of love is making me laugh.
Kim Jae Suk!
I'm busy. I'll get going.
General Joo. The guerrilla tactic has failed.
This injured person has returned with serious wounds.
Geez, I become so childish sometimes.
I'm a total fool.
Let's go.
You're not a fool.
You're not a fool, Yoo Chae Ri.
If you're a fool, then what am I?
Am I a super-ultra-fool?
I think I'm going to cry. Don't come near me.
Don't you dare look at me.
Okay. I won't go near. I just stand here right?
I'm frozen now.
Frozen!
Forget it.
I'll be here.
I'm always going to be by your side.
Through thick and thin and whatever.
If you need me, I'll be here.
Thanks.
What are you doing?
Oh in this scene, you lean your head on my shoulder...
and ask, "Can I cry?"
That's what's supposed to happen.
So here.
Lean on me.
Hey, I said lean on me.
- Hey. - Hmm?
No thank you.
Is that man so short he needs to stand on a chair?
Hey!
I'd really like to have some bean paste stew.
Jin Joo!
I just got chills.
Jin Joo really must be psychic.
Then should I ask when I'm getting married?
Jin Joo isn't a fortune teller.
Thanks for the food!
- You guys. - Coach.
What are you doing here so suddenly?
Why didn't you answer your phone?
What?
My phone runs out of power easily.
What's wrong?
Kevin Park is holding a contest for Korean students.
I know.
Kevin Park. Isn't he a MBA Major League agent?
I was thinking of submitting your midterm report for the contest.
What?
But that...
The deadline is until six today, but Kevin's leaving tomorrow morning.
We still have time, so why don't we give it a try?
It was an important opportunity for Yi Seul.
Even after she became the club's PR person, she always regretted missing the chance to be an agent.
What do you get if you make it?
During your school break, you get an internship in America.
Depending on the evaluation, they might even send you to school.
More importantly, you're counseled on being a sports agent. There's no better opportunity.
There's no way. I can't get a report on such short notice.
We're meeting at Baek Ho's tonight to have a Christmas party.
Oh really?
Was it too short notice?
Yeah Coach.
Next year, I'll be more prepared...
- Do it. - What?
Just go ahead and do it. You have nothing to lose.
We can just have the party tomorrow. We always meet up anyway.
And its not like we're going anywhere.
Kang Baek Ho, you're the one who said we needed to have the party tonight.
Now that I think about it, I have my part time job tonight.
Don't hesitate. Hurry up and get it ready.
You never know, you might really make it.
Go for it.
But still...
Hey, I'm leaving first.
Part time job?
Oh yeah! Me too! My job! I'm leaving. Bye!
Should we go get ready?
Yes.
Action! Everyone on cue! Come out!
For twenty years, I never gave her any gifts.
I can't get in Yi Seul's way with such an important opportunity.
The path Yi Seul needs to take is all too clear.
No good, no good!
One more time.
Hey, are you okay?
Your cough is getting worse.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
They said they're paying a bit more today, right?
Why do you need money so badly? What are you going to do with it?
You're doing this for your own reasons, I'm doing it for mine.
How did you know that? I didn't tell that to anyone.
- I'm trying to get someone a gift. - Who?
Yi Seul?
Kang Baek Ho. You're usually pretty cold, but sometimes, you're pretty nice to Yi Seul.
Was I like that?
Yeah! I know women pretty well.
You'll end up getting hurt if you start being nice to her.
It's better that you be consistent and keep being cold to her.
Was I ever cold to Yi Seul?
Well, you seem to get softer as you get older.
But usually your personality's pretty stiff.
Besides, you and Yi Seul aren't like that.
What do you mean we aren't?
Anyway, don't waste energy and go in. Your hospital bill will be expensive.
No. I'm going to wrap this up.
Let's go! We'll start one more time.
Action!
Hey you.
Good work.
Hey Baek Ho.
A special bonus for you. Good work today.
Now go in and rest.
Thanks Chan Wook.
No! You can't!
Take this off. I'm gonna buy this. Hurry take it off.
What are you doing?
Here, here...Four hundred and fifty dollars.
Here. Happy?
This kid has more determination than I thought.
Fine. Here you go. Hope you bring the lucky lady a rose.
Thank you, thank you. Thank you!
- So long. - Yes thank you!
Thank you very much.
Hey Kang Baek Ho! I knew this would happen.
So predictable. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
But I hope Yi Seul's application is going well.
You shouldn't worry about Yi Seul right now.
Yi Seul said she wouldn't make the deadline. She seemed to be worried.
Hey, Yi Seul still has time...
Once she's finished, I'll call and let you know.
Okay. Thanks for looking out.
Okay. Yeah.
So that's what happened.
Still, since I finally confronted the problem, I feel more liberated.
Ultimately, I guess that how it is.
- You have that too, right? - What?
What do you mean?
A problem you've avoided confronting.
I don't know if I'll finish the application.
I have no idea if I can make it in time.
I'm not the type to be saying this.
That's not what I meant!
You keep things to yourself and never confront things, to the point that it frustrates me.
Hey, if I set my mind to it, I can handle anything.
Once in a while, follow where your heart leads you.
Patient, are you hurt?
- Help me. - Where does it hurt?
- Over there? - What? Over here? Here?
No other side.
Here?
How did it get hurt?
I think it's best if we go to the emergency room.
What do you think you're doing?
I said I had a headache. Why do you keep touching my butt?
Is being a doctor everything? Does that entitle you to sexual harrassment?
No, but you definitely said before that's where it hurt...
I definitely told you it wasn't on that side.
Seriously.
I don't want to be treated by this kind of doctor at this kind of hospital!
Pervert!
Doctor Yoo. See me in my office.
But really, I...
General Joo reports, Guerrilla Operation complete.
Hey Chan Wook.
What?
Is he really sick?
I knew this would happen? Why was he out so late?
Why is he so careless?
So what? Is he home alone?
He doesn't have to go to the hospital?
You can't be finished already.
Have you given up?
Coach.
What's wrong? You look worried.
There's a person...
He liked baseball so he played in the Little Leagues during middle school.
He went down that path...
But eventually, he had to make a choice.
Will he become a baseball player or someone who just loves baseball?
When that moment comes, how do you think a person should choose?
There's no right answer, but can I tell you what I know?
I think the question is, "Can you love the pain too?"
What?
The moment you become a player, baseball isn't just about joy.
Tremendous training, a lot of worries.
You'll endure slumps and be pushed to your limit.
Do you like baseball enough to endure all that?
I think that's what you should ask yourself.
On the flip side, if you want baseball just to be a source of pleasure...
It might be better to focus on something else.
I guess you're right.
You'll regret either way. But in the end, the real question is...
which choice will have more regrets?
Usually, the answer is already there.
Coach! I'm sorry.
If I don't go now, I think I'll really regret it.
Wait, is that what this was about?
Can't you finish the application first?
I'm sorry.
Kang Baek Ho. Baek Ho!
I have something to tell you!
Wait!
Just stay there.
I'll just tell you here.
If I see your face, I might not be able to say it honestly.
Do you know it's been more than fourteen years?
It's been a really long time that we've known each other...
But I think time has flown by.
It's all because of you.
First year, second year, spring break, winter break...
We were always together.
Kang Baek Ho!
You know...
Truth is...

I don't want to get in Yi Seul's way.
Please let me see her. It'll only be a minute.
A person's life is at stake.
Do you know me?
I know you, but you don't know me.
We really... don't seem to work.
- Where is your head? - Yes...
Name! Kang Baek Ho!
No! I can't let Coach confess first.
What do I do? What now?
The best Christmas present of my life...
...is you.
