(Episode 13)

I received the email from Eric. He agreed to collaborate with us.

Let's talk later. I have to get home.

- Why? - Gi Ppeum's missing.

What do you mean she's missing?

The housekeeper called in sick today.

I'll stop by when Gi Ppeum gets home.

You should take Grandma to the hospital.

I'm sure you're busy with work.

Should I ask Yi Yoo?

No, I can spare an hour in the afternoon.

How on earth could I forget that?

Where could she be?

My gosh.

Grandma!

- Grandma. - What should we do?

How could Gi Ppeum be missing?

I'm sure it's no big deal.

I'll look for her, so please head inside.

How can I go home when my grandchild is missing?

What are we going to do?

You'll hurt yourself even more at this rate.

I'll look for her, so please head inside.

Oh, dear. How can this be?

What if she was kidnapped?

Honey, calm down.

Gi Ppeum wouldn't have gone with a stranger.

She's smart enough to find her way home,

so wait for her there.

I'm just so terrified.

- Gi Ppeum! - Grandma.

Did you find her? Are you with her?

Hello.

I heard that no one was home,

so I looked after her for a while.

Gi Ppeum...

Her clothes...

What she was wearing got dirty,

so I put her in some clothes that I had.

Some clothes that you had?

Yes.

That's Daddy's car.

Come on. Let's head inside.

Ma'am, her backpack...

Ma'am.

- Grandma, what's wrong? - You need to change.

- What about Daddy? - Do as I say!

Hello.

Yes, hello.

Here. This is Gi Ppeum's backpack.

What?

I was looking after her for a while at our house.

She was at your house?

Yes, I heard that no one was home,

so I left a note and...

Grandma!

Not again.

I won't let it happen again.

You wench.

How dare you play games with my granddaughter?

No.

- That wasn't my intention. - Haven't you raised a child?

Do you not know what it's like to be a parent?

I'm sure there was a misunderstanding.

Let me talk to her, and...

Our entire family was in a mess just now,

but you dare to cheerfully say that you had her at your house.

There's no need to hear her out.

Let's go.

Why did we have to get such repulsive new neighbors?

Darn them all!

I just want to wear that dress.

- You can't. - Why not?

You shouldn't wear other people's clothes.

But that dress is pretty.

Even the lady said I looked pretty.

- Is Gi Ppeum here? - Mom.

My puppy!

My gosh, let me see.

Are you all right?

I was worried to death.

- Song Joo. - Yes?

My goodness. Jin Yoo, look how dazed she is.

I'm sorry.

Don't do anything else from now on.

Just take care of Gi Ppeum.

You can stop worrying about my meals and hospital visits,

so don't take your eyes off Gi Ppeum.

Okay.

You should never follow a stranger.

We've told you countless times. Why did you follow her?

What if it turned into big trouble?

She's not a stranger.

I know her from my taekwondo class, Great-grandma.

Everyone who's not a member of our family is a stranger.

If that woman tries to take you somewhere again,

you must never follow her. Do you understand?

She didn't ask me to come with her.

I didn't want to go back to the kindergarten,

so I told her that I wanted to go to her place, Dad.

- Oh, I see. - My goodness.

I didn't even do anything wrong.

I didn't take her.

She said no one was home,

so I brought her to my place for a little while.

I left a note about it on your gate.

Why couldn't I say this earlier?

Why?

No one's home now, so I'm watching Gi Ppeum at my place.

Please let me know when you're home.

Mom, you must be tired.

I'll take her to her bed.

Just leave her with me.

She must've been scared. Don't leave her alone in her room.

- What's wrong? - Sorry?

Is your heart still pounding?

No, I'm fine.

I'll go check if Gi Ppeum needs anything for school tomorrow.

I know how you must feel now.

You almost lost your granddaughter who's growing without a mother.

You must be so upset.

What she was wearing got dirty,

so I put her in some clothes that I had.

That can't be.

(Detective Kim Chang Ho)

No, her face is different.

It can't be her.

Many people can have the same clothes.

Yes, I heard that no one was home,

so I left a note and...

Goodness.

(No one's home now, so I'm watching Gi Ppeum at my place.)

(Im Chi Woo)

Are you all right?

I'm really sorry.

What happened with Gi Ppeum?

We found her.

Gosh, thank goodness.

I need your approval on something. Are you stepping out?

Yes, just for a while. I'll take care of it later, okay?

Hello, welcome to Coffee Paradise.

- Hello. - Yes.

Is Ms. Im Chi Woo not here today?

My gosh, it's her day off today. I'm sorry.

I see.

She also works at a lawyer's office,

so she doesn't have regular shifts here on weekdays.

Is there anything you'd like me to pass on to her?

I'm her best friend.

I'll make sure she gets the message.

It's all right. I'll stop by again another time.

Then I'll let her know that you came by.

He even has a nice voice.

My gosh, how sweet.

My ears almost melted.

Hello, this is Lawyer Park Jun Seung's office.

Yes. I'm really sorry, but due to personal reasons,

he has to cancel tomorrow's... Pardon me?

He did?

Gosh, I never wanted to set foot in this office again.

Right. Then I'll call you...

as soon as the next appointment is confirmed.

Okay, thank you.

- What's the matter? - Jun Seung...

was at a client's office until just now...

for a consultation.

See? I told you that he'd manage fine on his own.

Why did I even come here today?

What are you talking about?

We must look after the clients until he pulls himself together.

What if people think that our office shut down?

Honey.

There's something I've always been curious about.

Why are you so loyal to Jun Seung? Don't you resent him?

What can I do?

We have to earn a living.

Even if that is the case,

we need to teach him that he shouldn't take us for granted.

For what?

What do you think? We must make him respect us.

- Respect? - Yes.

"Is coming to my office your hobby?"

"Do you think I give out jobs to the socially disadvantaged?"

Why do you think I put up with such rude remarks?

I'm not letting him win because I'm a loser.

I'm just letting it slide because I'm handsome.

- What? Come again? - You probably won't know,

but he's always been self-conscious about the fact...

- that I'm more handsome. - I'm not following.

What about you is so handsome?

Come on, what's with you?

Everyone else still thinks that I'm very handsome.

Honey, are you wearing a different shade for your blush today?

Let me see. Are you wearing blush on only one cheek? It's cute.

I have to take care of things and go home soon.

Get some work done. Father will be home soon.

My father? Why is he coming again?

Thank you very much.

- Thank you. - No problem.

My gosh...

Goodness.

I'll die at this rate.

I'll fall ill and die.

I'm in pain. What are you doing in my room?

What's all this?

Why did you bring all this?

Gosh.

What's going on?

What is all this?

Can't you tell? They're my stuff.

Exactly.

I'm asking why you brought all your stuff.

I'm going to live here.

What did you just say?

I sold the house in the countryside to live here.

Have you lost your mind? Why did you sell the house?

We're separated now.

Why would you move in here?

This has my savings from the past 30 years...

as well as my retirement payout and pension.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

- 200,000 dollars? - Pay back some of the loan...

you took out to get this house.

Gosh, you didn't say a word when I went on about us being broke.

Did you save 200,000 dollars behind my back? For 30 years?

Shall I take it back?

I never said that.

Brush your hair, and wear something proper.

I'm sick. Why do I have to get dressed properly?

Then forget it.

How petty. Why would you take it back after giving it to me?

Just get ready, and come out.

My gosh, that old man.

200,000 dollars.

Most appliances are built in.

There's also more than enough storage space.

Your office is close by too.

You won't find anything better than this.

Then I'll take it.

Don't you want to look at some more places?

You said I won't find anything better.

I did, but...

Can I move in right away?

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E13 My Healing Love "No One Was Home" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Really?

- It's true. - That's just ridiculous.

Park Jun Seung?

Jun Seung.

It's been a while.

I heard some weird rumors, but you seem fine.

I thought you'd be the luckiest one with marriage,

but I heard someone else put the shackles on you.

You should go. Your party is waiting.

Come to the reunion sometime.

After hearing that the great Park Jun Seung has fallen,

everyone's dying to see the aftermath.

Hey.

Shut it, and keep walking.

How can I leave when a friend is having such a tough time?

You need to work more hours since you have diapers to buy.

I'll toss you some cases,

so bury yourself in work, and forget everything.

You must've been distracted lately due to your newborn.

Anyway, when's the wedding?

Will you walk down the aisle with a baby in your arms?

Are you insane?

Darn you!

- What are you doing? - Cut it out.

Get over here!

- That's enough. - Let go of me!

(Lawyer Park Jun Seung)

Is he out of his mind?

If you say that you just called or that you drunk-called me,

I'll kick your butt.

Yi Yoo, I just thought I'd call.

I'm a bit drunk, you see.

You crazy jerk.

Please meet me just once.

I can't let things just end like this between us.

I should've already blocked his number.

(Block number?)

I see she's working late.

Yi Yoo.

The phone is turned off. You'll be connected to the voicemail box.

Extra fees will be charged after the beep.

That lousy jerk just disrupted my focus.

Gosh, he's annoying.

Darn it!

She thought my brother would marry into Hansoo Group's family,

then this happened.

I'm heading up since I'm busy,

but just know that I wasn't crying.

Oh, no. No!

Don't!

- No, you can't. - What?

I know you're upset, but don't do this.

What? Hey!

Please rethink.

What are you doing?

You can always find love again.

And we have only one life.

What are you saying? Let go.

No, I won't let go!

You can't do this.

Mr. Im!

You are a precious soul.

What exactly are you apologizing for?

I'm trying very hard to keep my rage in check.

Why are you poking at the bear?

We're terribly sorry. I should've raised my boy better.

Please leave.

Your presence is revolting enough.

See them leave, and lock the gates.

Every member of that family is getting on my nerves.

Let's go.

Come on. Let's go!

These are sweet potatoes I harvested myself.

I brought you some of these as part of my apology.

Look here.

Do you think we're on good enough terms...

to share sweet potatoes with one another?

Do we look like fools to you?

Take them, and leave this instant!

- Mother. - Just look at them.

They have some nerves to come by with these.

Don't you think you're being too harsh?

it's not like we committed a mortal sin.

How can you say that to someone who came to apologize?

That's enough.

Please forgive us. We have nothing else to say.

Yet, you still came by...

and enraged me even more.

Grandma, please.

Let's leave right now. There's no need to apologize.

I don't intend to accept your apologies,

so get lost.

- Leave! - Don't push us!

Leave!

He's too weak now!

- Stop that! - Sergeant Park?

I'm sorry, but aren't you Sergeant Park?

It's you, isn't it? You're Sergeant Park Bu Han.

It's me. Corporal Choi Jae Hak.

Choi Jae Hak?

That skinny Choi Jae Hak?

Yes, that's me!

Corporal Choi?

Sergeant Park, sir!

My goodness.

Sergeant Park.

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

How long has it been?

I can't believe we met again!

My gosh. It's so good to see you.

So Bu Han is President Choi's savior?

If I had known sooner, this marriage would still be on.

No, wait. It's still not too late.

President Choi can repay us by approving this marriage.

Why did I have to yell at his mother-in-law?

I can't believe it.

- Hey. - We're home.

There you are.

Welcome home.

What's wrong with you?

You must be tired from working.

Have you had dinner?

We were just about to.

Mother, are you all right?

No, I think my mom has finally gone insane.

Something very extraordinary just happened,

but you don't know yet, right?

Mom, please!

I'm Wan Seung, not Jun Seung.

You never talk this softly to me.

Did you roll off your bed?

Did you hit your head? Let me see.

Enough with the gibberish!

Can't you tell that I'm in a great mood?

What on earth happened?

Hold on. Where's Father?

Your father-in-law...

- just hit a home-run. - A home-run?

President Choi next door served directly under him in the army.

- What? - 40 years ago,

your father was a great help to President Choi.

He's calling your father his life's savior.

Really?

Jun Seung still has a chance.

It's our final escape route. The golden route.

Can we have another bottle of soju?

- Let me pour you one first. - Okay.

- Allow me. Here. - Okay.

- You too. - Sure.

I guess I haven't been the most decent person.

Don't be absurd. Neither have I.

Raising children and trying to make a living...

has sped up 40 years of my life.

It seems like yesterday, but that's how long it has been.

Thanks to you, I can still be alive like this.

I should've been in touch.

Back then, cell phones and the Internet didn't even exist.

My family moved after I completed my military service,

so you had no way of getting in touch with me.

By the way, I'm so impressed how you recognized me.

Now, I'm so old and wrinkly.

I look nothing like I did back in the old days.

No, that's not true.

Those kind eyes of yours haven't changed one bit.

Cut it out.

Look at you. You used to be very skinny,

but you look great now. You look so much better than before.

Yes, indeed. I owe it all to you, Sergeant Park.

That's not true. It's all your luck and fortune.

By the way, I'm ashamed that we met again...

through something like this.

Yes, it would've been nice if we had met again through a better occasion.

But what can we do? This already happened.

My daughter has pulled herself up,

and we're over it, so please don't worry too much.

When you raise children, things never go the way you planned.

- Here. - Thanks.

My goodness.

I'm so annoyed.

No, no!

It could injure a passerby if it falls.

What should I do?

No!

No, no!

My goodness.

That was amazing.

You should take this call.

This is my alarm, not a phone call.

Pardon?

Sometimes, I sit at my desk for hours when I work.

I set alarms to remind myself to do some stretching.

I see.

(Episode 14 will air shortly.)

(Episode 14)

Thank you.

Don't mention it. You fell because of me.

I should apologize.

I understand why you got the wrong idea.

I was told not to get involved and do what was asked of me.

The head of my team did tell me that.

I forgot that again.

- It sounds like you don't know. - Pardon?

Our company doesn't want employees who only do what they're asked.

I see.

- Anyway, I proved it, right? - Sorry?

I didn't cry when my eyes were smeared with makeup that day.

Right.

Why do you still look doubtful?

No, that's not it.

I should have just taken your word for it that day. You seem bothered.

That crossed my mind.

Just take my word for it?

- I'm telling you the truth. - Yes, that's right.

- I believe you. - You don't believe me, do you?

I really admire honest people,

but shouldn't you...

be more flexible when it comes to your honesty?

Right. I'm sorry.

Would you like to go for a second round?

I'll bring you to a nice place.

Today isn't our only day. Let's take it slow.

But we met after 40 years.

I feel terrible to finish the night with just soju and ramyeon.

I thought it would taste like those we had in the army when I ordered,

but that ramyeon back then was to die for.

You can't forget about it even in your dreams.

When I had a terrible flu back in the old days,

you took my night-watch shift for me...

and cooked me ramyeon.

- Did I do that? - Yes, you did!

I licked the bowl clean without leaving a drop of soup.

- Do you not remember? - I don't know about that.

But I do remember you writing love letters every night.

Right.

Your wife...

is the same woman in the photo that you hung in your locker, right?

Goodness, I must have gotten it wrong.

No.

After...

bringing a daughter into this world,

she passed away.

- Poor lady. - I thought about following her,

but I met my current wife, lived, and laughed.

I'm managing it somehow.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said that.

No, I don't have anyone else to talk about these things.

Goodness, you worked hard to live a good life.

Seriously. I had no idea that I would ever run into you.

You remind me of my old days.

I came into the world

as a man

- There are lots to do in this world - There are lots to do in this world

I should return this to them tomorrow.

Goodness.

Her clothes...

What she was wearing got dirty,

so I put her in some clothes that I had.

Some clothes that you had?

She looked really shocked.

Is she all right?

Grandma.

Grandma.

Ms. Heo.

I followed her around thinking she lost her mom, but I guess not.

Give me 10 yogurt drinks, please.

Sure.

The girl should be thirsty.

She's been crying the whole time. She cried a lot.

By the way, her outfit is so pretty.

That's expensive, right?

I could spot her right away even from a distance.

- Dad is late tonight. - What?

Dad might not have said anything, but he must have missed him.

I haven't seen him that happy for a long time.

Right.

By the way, how could he be the father of that family next door?

Sometimes, the universe works in funny ways.

- Are you going somewhere? - Yes.

I'm going to see Yi Yoo come home.

I took something to cover up since it gets chilly at night.

- Give it to me. I'll go. - No, no.

Gi Ppeum is alone. You should go upstairs and tuck her in.

- Honey. - Are you just getting home?

It's like we could communicate through telepathy.

Let's go in.

Whenever I walk into the alley,

do you get a signal or something?

- Did you drink a lot? - No.

I just had a good time while drinking.

I wanted to go for a second round.

But Sergeant Park wanted to drink again later.

He's an upstanding man.

I know that you're flustered.

It would've been great if there wasn't that unfortunate incident.

But let's try to get along, okay?

Let's talk tomorrow.

You're drunk now.

I ran into Sergeant Park.

I can't believe this.

My goodness.

I heard the conversation earlier.

Are they discussing Jun Seung's marriage...

with the neighbor's daughter again?

Then what's going to happen to my baby now?

I have to show my mom that I'm doing well...

and living a happy life at Jun Seung's place.

My father-in-law moved into our place,

so everything will be fine.

Don't worry too much.

I'm really worried.

When Mother sets her mind to do something, she does it.

You must stay strong for your baby to be at ease.

He only looks at you.

You can't be this weak.

Hey, Chi Woo.

Make some warm honey water. Hurry up.

Is Father here?

Of course. Why else would I rush you like this?

Make it good. Hurry. Quick!

Okay.

I want to just wash up and rest. Why do you insist I drink honey water?

I told you that it's acacia honey from this spring.

You haven't had soju in a long time.

Drink up the honey water, and get some good rest.

We can chat a little too.

- Father, you're back. - Yes.

Father, is it true?

Are you really like a lifesaver to President Choi from Hansoo Group?

Gosh, I'm sorry for this hassle.

Not at all, Father. Please enjoy.

- Thank you. - Mom said...

that President Choi is hugely indebted to you.

Did you lend him money back in your military days?

What is he talking about now?

Were you writing a novel or what?

What are you talking about? I only told him what I saw and heard.

The cost of living has gone up so much in the past 40 years.

Even if we just consider the interest...

Gosh, honey. How much would he owe us if he borrowed 1,000 dollars?

Money isn't the issue.

He met his lifesaver again after four decades.

He should do everything his lifesaver asks him to do.

Is the baby doing all right?

Has his mom had dinner yet?

- Yes, she has. - Gosh.

Don't change the topic.

What did President Choi say?

Didn't he say he was too harsh on Jun Seung?

He probably regrets it now after knowing Jun Seung is your son.

Mom, seriously. Are you thinking Jun Seung has another chance?

Didn't he say we should reconsider their marriage?

He must be dying to be your in-law.

We should make sure Eun Joo eats something nutritious.

Honey, why are you being like this?

Why do you keep bringing her up? Let's not ruin this happy day.

Why are you so excited?

I couldn't even face him because I was too ashamed.

I felt so bad...

that I couldn't tell him how happy I am to see him again.

Why are you making such a fuss over it?

My goodness, honey.

He even teared up because he was so happy about meeting you again.

Why are you being so negative?

Don't be like this. Try to ask him what he thinks.

Find out how he feels about Jun Seung.

Tell him that he has no reason to hesitate...

if he wants the two of them to get back together.

Bring it up first, and get the conversation going.

We have a newborn in the house. You'd better not say that again.

This is your last warning.

I should head over to my room.

What? What do you mean?

The baby threw up on me,

so I put on clothes that she had.

She had kids' clothes?

Yes, clothes in Christmas colors.

It was red and green,

but Grandma got mad at me and told me to get changed quickly.

That was because Grandma was thrown off.

She was so worried because she thought you went missing.

But why didn't you pick me up today, Daddy?

Why didn't you pick me up?

I was too busy today.

I'm sorry.

Get some sleep now.

I'm really sorry about earlier.

I know that Gi Ppeum wanted to go to your place...

and that you left a note on our gate.

I only found out about it later.

My grandmother was harsh on you because she had been so worried.

I sincerely apologize.

[VIU Ver] MBC E14 My Healing Love "You Remind Me of My Old Days" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

I'm fine, so please don't worry about it.

Seriously? Grandma didn't know about the note she left...

and slapped her in the face?

Grandma, I get that you were extremely worried,

but why did you do such a thing? I feel so bad now.

I should explain what happened to Sergeant Park.

No, we should apologize to his daughter-in-law, Dad.

That's enough. Eat your breakfast, Yi Yoo.

This is important.

She was the first person who told us about her brother-in-law.

Why are you speaking so fondly of her?

Regardless of what happened, she did worry your grandma.

Your grandma is upset, so let's stop talking about it.

Still, if we don't apologize to her,

Grandma will be so uncomfortable.

I'll meet her and explain everything.

She'll probably understand.

I don't understand why things keep happening with that family.

I still can't fall asleep whenever I think about that jerk.

I can't believe Jae Hak is indebted to that jerk's father.

Goodness, I can't even hate him now.

I'm sorry, Mother.

He did so much more than just helping me out here and there.

Once, I fainted while standing guard...

and almost froze to death, but he saved my life.

Also, he always got me snacks.

He even gave me money for bus fares whenever I left for vacation.

The list goes on.

I get what you're saying,

but we can't pretend as if nothing happened.

Yes, I moved all the consultations in the afternoon to next week,

and I received all the electronic copies of the complaints you sent.

Jun Seung, by the way, where are you staying now?

That brat, did he hang up?

He seemed to be trying to focus on work,

but he's emptied out his entire schedule for today.

Honey.

Then let's call it a day too.

Working two jobs is so exhausting.

We should take this chance and get some rest.

Shall we?

Yes, let's skip work and go out to have some fun.

Who says only he can miss work whenever he wants to?

Right, it's not fair.

But the problem is that we may lose this job forever if we do that.

Gosh, come on. Let's go out, honey.

1km in the southeast direction from Ulleung Island

There's a lonely island, which is a home to many birds

Enough, okay? Or I'll send you to a home of many stars.

Gosh, I want to go to Ulleung Island and eat spicy raw fish soup.

I'll slap down a shot of soju while enjoying the chewy raw fish.

Then there's the slightly frozen broth.

I'll throw in some noodles and stuff my face with them.

Then I'll have rice with sea urchin roe at the end.

Honey, rice with sea urchin roe.

Oh, my. Here it comes. Rice with sea urchin roe.

Honey.

Hi, Mom.

You should come home now.

Why? Did something happen?

What? It's urgent?

All right, see you.

Do you have something urgent to take care of?

What? Oh, you don't need to know.

My gosh.

What is happening here?

What's gotten into you?

I cleaned the shampoo area,

and I even cleaned the mirror, so we're all good, right?

Yes, it looks good.

But I just asked you what is going on.

I have to go out. Have a good dinner!

Gosh, what happened to her overnight?

She's 32 now, so it's about time she became mature.

But she's never done such a thoughtful thing before.

Do you really think she was being thoughtful?

She'd better be.

I was wondering why she looked so radiant this morning.

I guess she's finally becoming mature.

Mr. Lee.

I think that you should mentally prepare yourself.

- For what? - Mr. Lee.

You've been through this a few times now.

There's always a reason whenever she does something nice.

Didn't you think it was odd that she kept chuckling all day long?

Plus, she was obedient today.

I think something big is coming.

I'm getting a bad feeling.

Stop making such ominous remarks.

Gosh, you startled me.

They say there's a maximum amount of trouble one can cause.

Do you know how much that saying comforts me?

That brat has been causing so much trouble for 20 long years...

starting even before she entered middle school.

It's finally time for her to stop, so say no more nonsense, please.

I'm going to finish warming up my voice before Dong Geon arrives.

I'm Im Joo Ah.

I'll make sure that I can breathe life...

even into words that seem lifeless.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Who's calling?

(Don't Pick Up)

Hello?

Ms. Im, you're way behind on your payment schedule.

Seriously. I told you I'd pay you back this week,

so stop harassing me.

Stop being like that. I'll lend you 5,000 dollars more.

At least pay off your interest with that.

I don't want it!

I'll pay you back as soon as I receive my bonus.

I'll soon receive a new apartment and a million-dollar contract.

How dare he kill my mood with these phone calls?

Mom!

Does she own a jet or something?

That was fast.

Are you in your room?

Why on earth didn't you answer me?

Is Joo Ah in trouble again?

Is Joo Chul ill?

Gosh, sit down first. Catch your breath, and eat.

How am I supposed to do that...

when you said there's an emergency?

Feeding you is urgent to me.

That witch of a woman got the best of me,

and I felt terrible for kicking you out like that.

Your mother-in-law kicked you out of the house,

and I did nothing but the same.

I made your favorite, bulgogi,

so eat up. There's also a rolled omelet.

I only had over-fermented kimchi,

so I made some new ones.

I hope it's tasty enough.

Did you call me over to cook me a meal?

Yes.

I knew you'd only come...

if I told you that something happened.

Now, eat up.

Eat what you want when your siblings aren't here.

This is all for you today.

Eat up already.

Those who are slow to eat at the table are most annoying.

Here.

All right.

You should eat too.

I ate quite a lot while seasoning the food,

so I'm quite full.

The eggplants are nice and moist.

Have some.

You need to eat well.

There.

What's with the tears?

A stranger will think that I was an evil step-mother.

Well,

I did have it rough.

I was always told to yield to Joo Ah and Joo Chul.

Of course I cared more for those two.

How can you compare to the kids I gave birth to?

That would be a lie.

I was only joking.

You didn't favor them that much.

Of course I did. I know myself.

Mom.

Eat up already.

Bulgogi is best when it's warm.

You know,

you care about me this much,

but I dared to think otherwise.

There's this old lady.

She was enraged when she thought she had lost her grandchild.

It made her slap this other person.

The slap itself must've really hurt,

but I thought to myself...

that the grandmother's love for her grandchild was powerful.

Were you envious?

Did you wish to have parents and siblings...

you were related to?

I'm an animal, aren't I?

That must be it.

I took in an animal and raised it for 33 years.

Darn it.

I worked my butt off to raise you,

but I guess biology always wins.

Mom.

I'm not your mother.

Why would you call me that?

Exactly. I must've gone crazy.

Why would I think of other people when I have a mom...

who cooks me a feast like this?

I'm sorry, so forget I said anything.

Look for them.

Seek them out.

You may laugh in front of me,

but I always thought...

how sad you'd be...

and how empty you'd feel inside.

I'm still your mother, you know.

No,

I'm going to live my entire life as your devoted daughter.

I'm the one who's curious.

I'd like to meet your family too.

I want to brag about how well I raised you...

and get credit for it, so look for them.

You didn't come to pick me up at the airport.

Are you that busy?

Should I stop by the office?

I don't intend to meet you,

so conduct your business, and leave.

For someone who's probably outraged,

he's keeping things cool.

But I came to Korea to see you.

Also, I have no intention of leaving anytime soon.

There's a reason for us to call it human nature.

You and your parents both probably want to find each other.

Don't worry about me,

and follow your heart.

I should give Gi Ppeum's clothes back.

I'm sorry for coming by so late.

I just thought I should give this back quickly.

I even washed it.

I see. Thank you.

Why don't you sit down with us?

We're sorry about yesterday,

so please stay for some tea.

No, it's all right. I should get going anyway.

Could I get my clothes back too?

Your clothes?

Yes, Gi Ppeum's clothes were dirty,

so I put her in some of my old clothes.

Actually...

Our housekeeper made a mistake while washing them.

- I'm terribly sorry. - Pardon?

The clothes were old, so they kind of fell apart.

Still, she should've been careful.

I'm terribly sorry about this.

No, it's all right.

Can I still get them back?

I'm sorry.

They were in such a mess...

that she took them out in the trash.

In the trash?

Those aren't even our clothes. She should've asked you first.

I know.

My goodness. I feel horrible.

If you tell us what they look like,

we'll buy you at least something similar.

What were they? Can you describe them?

It's all right.

I'll do it. I know what they look like,

so I'll got out and buy some tomorrow.

No, there's no need for that.

Again, I'm sorry for showing up so late.

Could the world be any crueler?

I finally made a big decision...

to try and find my birth parents,

but I lost my old clothes.

- What? - Here you are.

Hello.

(We thank Oh Eui Sik for his special appearance.)
