Chapter 4 - The Tail Of Twins

Episode: 4

Do twins really have telepathy? The more items we share, the more frequently I ask myself that in the mirror. Eunbi, what are you wearing today? What kind of music are you listening to? I was at the department store shopping for my daughter and thought of Eunbi so I bought one for you, too. From Song Migyeong. - What do you think? / - It's pretty. I had the same dream again about the day I first met Mom when I was five. (12 years ago) It was the third day after returning to the orphanage. I was hurt from having my adoption dissolved and an angelic lady came and spoke to me. Hi. Don't you remember me? You were in House of Love in Tongyeong. I saw you a few times there. You've gotten prettier. What? Her adoption was dissolved? Yes. Eunbyeol came back three days ago and hasn't said a word since. Poor thing. Eunbyeol. Do you want to go home with me? Her embrace was so warm that I couldn't tell her that the child she met at the House of Love in Tongyeong wasn't me. It was my twin sister, Eunbi. I couldn't tell her that I was never at House of Love. No, I didn't want to tell her. If I had known that Mom had met Eunbi first and that I had a twin sister, Sister. would I have been honest? She forgot her phone again. Please forgive me for leaving a letter instead of telling you in person. I am Lee Eunbi, and I grew up in House of Love in Tongyeong. There must have been a mistake when I was rescued because we look alike. Thank you for all the warm memories and I'm sorry. I was admitted here about a month ago. Can you check if someone else came in on the same day? What is the person's name? Go... I mean, Lee Eunbi. There was no one by that name. I see. Yes, that's correct. Was someone else rescued along with me? No one was saved, but a body was found at the same place a few days ago. A body? Hey! Sir. Do you know that Taegwang's birthday is coming up? What should we do? Tell him to pick a gift he wants. Should I prepare a birthday dinner? I'll let you know after I check my schedule. Eunbyeol isn't here yet? Did anyone hear from her? Ian. How far did we get last time? Hello. I'm Song Migyeong from Seoul. I see, but... what brings you all the way from... Song Mi... Oh my. You came to see Eunbi, didn't you? How did you know? Eunbi was so happy every time you sent her a package. How could I not know? Packages? This is all she left behind. I kept telling myself I need to get rid of them, but I could never get myself to do it, so I've kept them. What do you mean? What she left behind? Oh my. Didn't you come because you heard that Eunbi died? What? That poor thing was bullied by the kids at school. And then she was framed and was expelled. It must have been too much to bear. I'm to blame. I'm supposed to be her substitute mom, but I knew nothing until after she decided to take her life. May I look inside? Yes, of course. Where... Where is she now? Eunbyeol. Where were you? I looked all over for you. You are... You are my Eunbyeol, right? This. I tied this around your neck when you left on the trip. Try to remember. You had it with you at the hospital. Please. Please try to remember. I'm sorry. I don't know what happened, but I think my sister saved me and... I'm sorry. Stop teasing your mom. That's not true, Eunbyeol. It's not, right? Eunbyeol. It isn't true. It isn't true. I'm sorry. You brat. You brat. Why are you upsetting me so much? Do you want to see me lose my mind? It isn't true! Why are you doing this? No. No. My Eunbyeol is alive. No. My Eunbyeol didn't die. She didn't die. She didn't die. No. No. No. No. My Eunbyeol... My Eunbyeol is alive. - Yes. / - Hello. I had to spend some money recently. I get paid in a few days. Give me a call then. I haven't had an accident in 12 years. I won't get into an accident. Okay. My precious 1,200 dollars. No one knows what will happen. No one knows they will be in an accident. Do you want me to lend you some money? That smell. You've been smoke... Taegwang. Don't worry. Maintain a safe distance is my motto. Between the cars in front and behind, and also between a teacher and a student. Okay? What is he saying? Take your math notebook. My mom wants you to take a level test. What? Well... What? You've been waiting for a while. My parents said the tuition was burdensome. Never mind. I'll be there. Are many kids being tested? I think it's just you and Sijin. Lee Sijin? What about me? Your mom didn't tell you? I heard you wanted to join our study group. I guess the cut-off isn't that high after all. There isn't much to prepare. You're driving me crazy. They're pretending to give me a chance because they know I'll fail. Why else? Because you've been bribing them! You and Minjun's mom being close won't make me turn into Minjun. Being with them won't make my grades go up. Forget it. Bye. Why are you so down this morning? My mom is hanging out with some bad friends. The top star Song Huiyeong has announced that she will be getting married a third time. Her fiance is a businessman who is six years younger. They plan to keep the wedding private since her fiance is not a public figure. We wish them a happy marriage. Did you just get here? Do you want to eat anything special tomorrow? No. Everything you make tastes good. Wow. Balloons. Wow. You're so lucky. You get to have a birthday party and see Mommy, too. Yes. That must be your Mommy. - Excuse me. / - Yes? Don't tell her that I'm here, okay? I want to surprise Mommy, so it's a secret. Okay, it's a secret. Did the shoot go well? You know already. Did you think I wouldn't know that you had people tailing me all month? These are divorce papers. Send them to me after you sign them. What are you doing? You didn't marry me for love anyway. Our meeting, Taegwang being born, our marriage was all mistakes, weren't they? That's why I'm accepting my punishment. Taegwang and I are a punishment to you? Taegwang. You poor thing. You eat alone on your birthday, too. I don't care about that. What's wrong? Have some while it's still warm. I don't really like it. Sure. Seaweed soup isn't for the person himself. It's for the mom who gave birth that day... The director was upset that he couldn't eat with you. He said to pick out a really nice gift. Sure. I will. Thank you. S-Stop! What is it? What? The girl over there. Isn't she really pretty? Ouch! Ouch, that hurt! Hey, Taegwang. Are you okay? No. I'm sorry. Mr. Kim. It's not like you to rear-end people. You need to always maintain a safe distance between the cars behind and between a teacher and a student. You should know better. Oh my. That will be pretty expensive. I'll have to call the insurance company. Sir, your car insurance expired as of May 3rd. You'll call the insurance company, right? I guess, right? I heard you worked multiple jobs to support the other kids. It was fine. I wanted to do it. They couldn't help a friend trying to be strong without parents, but instead... Those wicked things. You had no one on your side. How hard life must have been for you to decide something so horrible. Call me at any time if you ever need anything. I will. Thank you for everything. And it wasn't intentional, but I'm sorry. Because of me... Goodbye. I guess I was a happy kid. Hi, Mom. Mom. I don't want to sleep alone. I like your scent, Mom. I still feel like I'm dreaming. Thank you for coming back to me, my precious daughter. Mom. Mom. Yes. Mom. Mom... Why do I still feel like you're my daughter? I don't know if I can't believe it, or I don't want to believe it. But to me, you're still like my Eunbyeol. Do you want to erase all your memories of this place and live with me again? If I let you go too, I don't know how I'll survive. I don't think I can do it. Can't you just live as Eunbyeol for me? That's crazy. How... How could I? Just like when we didn't know anything, let's live together, you and I, holding each other, please? The May competition applications are due tomorrow. It's the national team in Seoul, so you know how important it is. You know only two can compete per category, right? - Yes, sir. / - And Han Ian is doing the 100, 200, and 400 m freestyle, so the rest of you choose three categories each. Yes, sir. What was that? What? You better prepare yourselves, got it? Yes, sir. That's all. Thank you. Hey. They give you the best and tell us to pick the leftovers. Don't be like that. It's because it comes to this punk too easily that he fools around at competitions. What? Do you want to fight again? I'm sorry. It will never happen again. That's cold. Wake up. Are you taking after Eunbyeol? I want to show you something. Ta-da. They're picking a school uniform model. I'm going to apply. If I make it, I'll take you out to celebrate. I hope I catch someone's eye and make my debut. Do you want to become a celebrity that badly? Yes. I'm jealous. Really? I have another application. Want it? Not that. You're lucky you have something you want to do. It's only good if I make it. That comes after. Why do I have millions of things I don't want to do, but not a single thing that I want to do? I don't know what I live for. Gosh. - You're leaving already? / - Yes. Stop. Getaway. Stop it. - What do you mean? Give it to me. / - You punk. Your body is your life. Don't waste energy doing this. This is all exercise, too. You'll hurt your shoulder. I'm fine. - Dad. / - What? It's tough, isn't it? Hang in there. I'll try hard... Nonsense. Do you think I'd live off of my kid and live in luxury? You know that's not what I meant. Look at this. Oil stains don't come out easily. You should get only water on yourself. You know what my hope in life is, right? Yes. Good. I'll see you later. - Dad. / - Yes? Don't skip your meals. I won't. You too. Go on. I'll go in after I park. What are you doing? Get ready for school. I'll go tomorrow. What are you talking about? Get ready. You don't seem well, Ma'am. Why are you speaking so formally? Nothing has changed. Just be how you've been. - Please eat. / - Leave it. I'll eat after I drop you off. After I see you eat, I'll take the bus, Ma'am. Again. I'll take the bus, Mom. Okay. Mom. Good. Shall I give it a taste then? It looks good. My daughter is a good cook. Do you even know how to take the bus? I've taken it with my friends here and there so I'll be fine, Mom. Okay then. I'm going to be late. Sister. May I really live as Go Eunbyeol? I'll always believe that you're with me. I'll always work hard not to disgrace your name. You were absent. Were you sick? No. Then? Did you skip school? Yes. Are you really Go Eunbyeol? Eunbyeol. Eunbyeol. Aren't you going to reply? What? Lend me your world history notes. I wondered why you were absent. Thanks. Eunbyeol, lend me your scissors. What? Wow. Does your handwriting change if you have amnesia? - Really? / - Yes, look. - It's different, right? / - That's amazing. What are you looking at? Wait. Look at this. This is a letter that you wrote me before. It's totally different, right? Isn't it amazing? You're right. Even if they lose their memory in the movies, the body still remembers that they were good at or playing the piano like sports. You're right. Hey, Ian. If you got amnesia, do you think you'll forget how to swim? No, right? I don't know. I might. I'll do this later. Where are you going? I'm going to get some medicine from the nurse's office. I have a headache. Taegwang, the bell rang. Get to class. Come on. Please. It's from a car accident. Then you should get to the hospital. It isn't that bad. I'll be fine in two hours. Goodness. I'm going to the administration office, so stay quiet. Okay. (The top star Song Huiyeong) Taegwang. I heard you were in an accident, were you hurt? Don't talk to me. It's bad. You said before that I didn't treat you like a human being and that we barely spoke. So you must not know much about me. I know one thing. What? You have amnesia. Yes, you're right. I don't know you and you don't know me. It's fair. That's nice. Do you like having amnesia? Want me to tell you a secret too? Don't believe anything I say. I'm a total liar. More than I am? You know... my name is Go Eunbyeol. What the... I knew it. You study like crazy. How could you not go crazy? I can't lose to you. Do you know the top star, Song Huiyeong? She's my mom. Did you call, sir? Junseok. Yes, sir. I heard Taegwang played a prank on you again. - Don't worry about the accident. / - No. I'll take care of it. If you can't handle Taegwang... I treat him like every other kid in class. I know you're very disappointed in me. I'm not disappointed. I have no right, either. Now that I think teaching is just a job, it's not so bad. I'll get going now. Hello. ("Would you at least remember me?" - Sun) You came over often when you were in grade school. Don't you remember me? I'm Suin's mom. Jeong Suin? What? Nothing. I just got a strange text. But Mr. Kim, is there a student named Jeong Suin at our school? I don't know. I don't know every student at school. Awesome. Song Huiyeong is our director's ex-wife? Wow. Poor Director Gong. He's still alone but she's on her third. I'm sure he has a girlfriend too. Someone super young. You should date him, punk. My mom said she heard from someone she knows that this woman is a pro at marrying rich men and collecting huge alimony. I heard our gym shrank exactly in half to pay off Song Huiyeong. You're annoyingly loud. Hold on. You punk. I warned you. Darn it. You've lost your mind, haven't you? Go stop them! Taegwang is going to die! If I try to stop them, I'll be the dead one. Hey, Taegwang. What's wrong with you? I'll get a teacher. Sir, you have to come quick. Taegwang and Gitae are fighting. What? Those punks. You're laughing? - Taegwang, stop. / - Let go! Eunbyeol, are you okay? - Did you get hurt? / - Are you okay? Stop it, you punks! Eunbyeol got hurt! What's your problem? What's going on here? Gong Taegwang. Kwon Gitae. Come with me. Eunbyeol, are you okay? Yes. Are you okay? I'm fine. You know, heaven was on your side. I know. How could you step in when they're fighting? The old Eunbyeol would have complained of the noise and gone to the library. Hey, Eunbyeol. I was waiting to tell you once you got your memory back but you've been acting strange since the school trip. What did I do? You fought with some guy at the resort where we were staying, and had a wound on your neck, too. A wound? The wound healed. It looked pretty bad. Right, that was from the trip. You wouldn't talk to us and be troubled by something. There were so many things. But what guy are you talking about? Who was it? It was too dark so I couldn't see. He was very tall. Was it Ian? Ian wasn't there. Really? No one saw him? No. He was at a competition the entire time. I spoke to him on the phone, too. Hey, Eunbyeol. It doesn't hurt? I am not hurt much. Don't do that again, okay? You said you stopped by during the school trip, right? Did you see me? True. You couldn't come on the trip because of your competition. How would you know? I did go. Briefly, at night. No one else knew that. Of course not. I quietly saw the only person I wanted to see. Did you see me? I did not. Songju and Sijin said they saw me fighting with some guy at the resort. So badly that I had a wound on my neck. Hey, that was... Who was it? Do you have any idea? I don't know. Quit school and prepare to study abroad. Why? Sending me to a mental asylum for a month or two didn't suffice? I think the best way is for us not to see each other. That's right. Now you show your true color. What treatment? You just want to get me out of your sight. You know what today is, don't you? I don't need a gift. Why don't we have a family dinner? It's been 10 years. We can congratulate Mom on her third marriage, too. You're becoming more and more like your mom. You can't express yourself normally with common sense. I wonder, do I take after her because I'm her son? Or maybe everyone who lives with you turns out that way? Pathetic fool. How long will you keep throwing your tantrums? If you can't handle it, just leave. No. You said you're being punished. You said giving me birth was your sin. Then keep being punished! If I die, that will fix it! How dare you say that to your father? Think about it. What must a child see and hear while growing up to turn into someone like this? I'll regret it. I won't regret it. I'll regret it. I won't regret it. I'll regret it. I won't regret it. Eunbyeol, I need to tell you something. Come out for a bit. What are you doing here? What's it to you? Hey. Why did you have to butt in? Is your arm okay? I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Does that mean you're not fine and want me to worry about you? You said everything you say is a lie. Think whatever you want. Hey. I really... want to be alone today. Did I say anything? You're so dense! Put your foot on it. One, two, three. Okay, now go forward. It's hard. - I'm letting go. / - No. No. - I'm letting go! / - Don't! Quiet! Everyone sit down! We have a new transfer student. Everything will be strange to her, so help her out until she gets adjusted. Come in. Fantastic! Introduce yourself. I'm Kang Soyeong. I came from Tongyeong's Nuri Girls High School. - Tongyeong. / - We were there. I hope we can get along. It's nice to meet you.
