GEOSUNG UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

EPISODE 14

I'm sorry, Grandma. I didn't know you had collapsed.

Do you get no mobile service there?

Why did you ignore all my calls and texts?

Did you label my number as spam by any chance?

-Yes, I did. -What?

-Are you kidding me? -You were at Wando?

There's a man there who used to think of me like a son.

My goodness, you pathetic punk.

Do you think your situation

allows for a laid-back trip to Wando?

Your aunt is trying so hard

to take over Geosung by herself...

Seo-hun.

Sorry.

I sounded a bit rude, didn't I?

Your aunt is trying,

I mean working her ass off to take over Geosung.

She's desperately biding her time--

Did you get to meet that man?

Yes.

I wanted to stay there with him.

I didn't want to come back from Wando.

What in the world are you saying?

-Then go back! -Mom.

Go back! Go back to Wando right now!

Go back, you punk!

-Go back there! -Mom, calm down.

-Go back! -Mother.

-Are you crazy? Hurry up and apologize! -Go back.

-Go back. -Mother.

Why did you bring me here all of a sudden?

You wanted to tell me something.

Why did you bring me to your grandfather's grave?

You like this place, Dad.

You always came here every time you went through a hard time.

That's because my dad was the only person who understood me...

Why are we here? Why are you suddenly changing the subject?

Are you sick or something?

You're being weird all of a sudden.

-You keep saying unusual things. -Was Grandpa really

the only person

who understood you?

Yes, that's right.

The entire world

including my mom and siblings looked down on me.

But he always told me that I'm the best and that he'll always be on my side.

Why?

What is it? Can't you believe it?

Ask your grandfather.

Aren't I right, Dad?

You told me that competence isn't everything.

You told me that my imperfections

made you care for me even more. Right, Dad?

Let me tell you something. After your grandfather told me that,

I purposely didn't study at all.

I wanted him to care about me even more.

To be honest, your grandfather

wasn't that happy with Kang's father, Jae-hun.

That's because those who are smart tend to be very inhumane.

He always tried to lecture our dad about hierarchy and equality.

He was so rude.

My goodness.

By any chance, are you going through something?

Is that why you brought me here?

I just felt suffocated in Seoul.

Plus, we haven't come here in a while because we were so busy.

I don't think that's why.

I feel like you have something to tell me.

I don't remember. I forgot.

I promised you that I'd go back with you,

so I will keep my word.

Although I couldn't keep my promise for chocolate shasha.

can I

love you, Cha-young?

Tae-hyun.

Why?

I can't eat anymore. I'm stuffed with food.

I told you to taste a little bit, not stuff yourself.

I couldn't stop eating because the food was so good.

But you know what's weird?

You can't smell or taste anything, but your food tastes even better.

I wonder what's going on. Do you think God is pitying you?

You still can't taste anything? It's so delicious.

No.

Can I also have a bite?

All I had today was coffee, so I'm really hungry.

-Here. -Thanks.

I'll leave you guys alone. Good luck.

It's delicious. You seasoned it just right.

It's really good.

Well, you guys went all the way to Wando.

Are you sure nothing happened between you two?

Tae-hyun.

Did she tell you that nothing happened?

Yes.

Then I guess nothing happened.

Sure. You kids go ahead and catch cooties and stuff.

You guys are like a monk and a nun.

How annoying.

Try cooking something else. I'll taste it for you.

If you tell me what you want to eat, I'll make it for you.

Something that takes a very long time to make.

This is really delicious.

Are you making mapo tofu?

But that only takes five minutes.

That confession I made back in Wando...

I mean, the question I asked.

You don't need to answer it.

I'm going to keep liking you

regardless of your answer.

That's going to burn.

But of course, I'd ask for nothing more

if you also liked me back.

But even if you don't,

I won't get upset.

Because even if you reject me, that'd also be your choice.

And I'd respect

the choices you make.

Thank you for the meal.

It's delicious.

Anyway, I'm glad to see you again.

I was worried that you'd feel pressured and end up running away.

Hey!

Seriously?

Na-ra, where are you? Where did she go?

Hey, get over here.

You little rat. Get over here.

-Come here! -What's going on?

-My gosh. -Get over here right now.

Come here! Are you playing hide-and-seek?

Hey, get out of my way. Move.

What are you doing?

-Come here, you brat. -Dad, that hurts.

-You darn brat. Come here. -My ear will fall off.

You're unbelievable.

How dare you lie to your parents?

The reason I spent a fortune to send you to that nursing college

was so that you'd treat sick people and help them recover.

It wasn't so you could take care of people who are about to die soon.

I didn't have good enough grades to get a job anywhere else.

Do you think I'm a criminal or something?

You're damn right you're a criminal.

You're a fraud who tricked her own parents.

Whatever the case,

I won't let you stay here for another second.

-So come home right now! -Wait, sir.

What do you want?

Well, you see...

Not all the nurses who work here had bad grades in school.

We have our own beliefs and sense of duty--

So what?

Just for your information, I graduated from Geosung Nursing College

-with the highest grades-- -So what's your point?

Stop bothering me when I'm busy. Come here, you brat.

-Goodbye, sir. -Get over here.

-Bye, Na-ra. -No, wait.

-Let's go. -Bye.

-My gosh, Dad. -Get over here. Hurry.

-Hurry up! -Gosh, okay!

Are you just going to let her leave?

It's for the better.

What do you mean? How is this for the better?

I got a call this morning from the main hospital

telling us to stop receiving patients.

I think they plan

to shut down our hospice.

What?

By the way, where's Dr. Lee?

I heard Na-ra's father punched him.

What?

My gosh, her dad is so scary.

I looked for you everywhere.

Here.

I brought you ice.

It doesn't hurt at all.

I know he looked really tough, but he had a really weak punch.

Here.

Nurse Bae's father, who did this to you...

He recently came out on the news

for having wiped Dongdaemun clean of gangsters.

He's the chief of the serious crime team at Dongdaemun Police Station.

I see.

He's also known as the Crazy Dog of Cheongnyang-ri.

But I have to say,

I'm relieved.

According to Director Kwon,

you're the only person who got away

with a single punch

after having gotten in his way.

To be honest with you, I was hiding because I felt embarrassed.

I was embarrassed that I got beaten up in front of you.

Why would you be embarrassed?

I just told you earlier

that he's a serious crime detective who's even feared by gangsters.

That's just the nature of men.

Wanting to look like Superman all the time to the person you like.

I'm just going to

think whatever I want.

I know you would've run over here

with an ice pack

even if it wasn't me.

But this time, I'll just go ahead

and assume that you came because you were so worried about me.

Is that okay?

LEE JUN

I want to ask you something, Chef.

I'm hungry, but I can't seem to eat.

What should I eat when this happens?

By any chance, do you have any cooking utensils with you?

You need rice, kimchi, pork belly, and green onions.

You can also get ham and eggs if you want.

Kimchi fried rice is the best meal when you're distressed.

How did you know I couldn't eat because I was distressed?

Dad, I have something to ask you.

See? I knew it.

I can tell that you have a lot to say to me right now.

What is it? Ask me in French if you want.

Kang and I...

Why must we fight?

I feel like I knew why in the past.

But I can't remember.

Did you have lunch?

You knew how to bake pottery?

I know how to do everything.

Isn't today your first day back at work?

The long break made me get lazy, so I'm slacking off.

So did you eat or not?

When distressed, kimchi fried rice is the answer.

But I have no rice.

Pork belly tastes best with soju.

-Should I go get some? -No.

I won't drink with you.

Don't you have anything to tell me?

You seem to be the one who has something to say.

-Do I have something on you? -Yes.

-What is it? -Find out for yourself.

I'll go buy soju.

You think I'll get drunk and tell you?

I said I won't drink with you.

Then I'll go now.

You wanted to eat together, and we did. Are we done now?

Go meet Director Lee Jong-uk.

Or Director Kim Hyo-ik.

Who are they?

Influential directors at Geosung Foundation.

They're very unhappy and nervous

that my mom became the acting chairwoman.

And therefore,

they could be of help to you.

Why are you telling me this?

Forget it if you're not interested.

SPRING, 1995

How many did you miss?

Math no. 8. Society no. 21.

You did this the last time

with your tutor.

I don't understand, Mom.

I don't understand a word you're saying.

Can you please talk in Korean?

Why don't you understand?

Why can't you understand?

You went abroad to study English, so why can't you understand?

How will you be able to survive like this?

Kang may seem dumb, but he's actually a very scary kid.

Are you sure you'll always be better than him?

I got two questions wrong

out of all the tests.

That times five is ten lashes.

Stand up.

I said stand up!

I just

don't seem to understand.

And my mom says she doesn't understand you either.

You were always at the top of the school, and you took the third just once.

Is it a big deal for you even to skip a meal?

I came in 86th place. Does that mean I should kill myself?

Just try this.

It's called chocolate shasha.

-I made it myself. -I don't eat it. Get it away from me.

I know you're upset now.

But if you put this chocolate in your mouth,

all your anger will just go away.

Just take it.

I said I won't eat it. Get lost, punk!

Go back to your house.

I'm...

I'm not someone scary.

I'm not here to prey on you.

I'm a human being, not a monster.

Why do you keep treating me like that?

Seriously, I'm just a human being.

I'm not a monster.

Hello, Ms. Bae. Did you get home safely?

I see.

I'll pack your stuff and send it to you by delivery service.

Ms. Bae.

Our hospital shouldn't shut down just like this.

I know it's important to save people's lives,

but it's also important to take care of those who are dying...

Nothing. Why am I telling you all this?

So you were eating pizza. Enjoy your pizza.

May the pizza go to your hips.

What's that?

Do you remember the day it rained?

I hope the whole thing will be Washed away by the rain

You're not supposed to sing here.

Okay. I'm sorry.

This is a hospice. You could disturb the patients.

-Okay. -Hold on.

Excuse me.

Hey.

Min Dae-sik?

You recognize me.

How would I not recognize you?

When I ran into you in an alley the other day,

I recognized you right away.

My gosh.

So what are you doing here?

Are you here as a patient's family? Who?

You're not married, are you?

Gosh, you haven't changed.

Gosh, it hurts.

-Yeong-sil. -You got a plastic surgery, right?

Gosh, it looks great.

While you're at it,

they should've made you look like Jang Dong-gun or Song Joong-ki.

But this is just you.

Yeong-sil, this is the trend these days.

I may look unattractive at a glimpse,

but if you have a close look, you will fall for me.

I see. What more could you want?

After getting beaten up by gangsters like that,

it's a miracle that you're still alive.

You broke your nose bone and cheekbones back then.

You totally lost the shape of your face.

Good boy, Dae-sik. I'm happy that you're alive like this.

You still treat me like a child.

I know.

I changed your diapers a lot

when you were a baby.

I think I've heard of this before.

Anyway,

I'm just glad that you didn't die.

I like it too.

That I'm alive so I can see you again like this.

What's that?

Why are your eyes getting so glassy?

You're scaring me.

What's wrong with you?

What?

Why are you coming close to me?

You're just making my heart flutter.

Yeong-sil. Actually,

I'm here to ask you something.

What is it?

Back then,

why did you dump me?

You're crazy.

You must be out of your mind.

Yeong-sil.

Yeong-sil?

That day.

-It was raining. -Shut it.

At the Hwayang Market.

KING'S TABLE

Don't you like dalgona?

What are you doing here?

I'm just out to get some fresh air.

Why did you not come to the wedding? Ye-sol was waiting for you.

Did Ye-sol's mom leave well?

Yes, she did.

After she thanked everyone.

I used to be really good at breaking this.

But I can't do it now as my vision is blurry these days.

You should give it a try.

If you break off the five edges cleanly, you get an extra piece.

You're good.

That's amazing.

You're still good with your hands. You should come back to our cafeteria.

All right.

Here's an extra piece.

Are you giving up like this?

Give up what?

I thought you worked at the hospital

hoping to make a meal for Director Kwon someday.

Despite the small pay.

You should cook for him sometime.

Okay.

What?

Why? I can't even cook instant noodles.

Director Kwon and you would make a cute couple.

My gosh, what are you talking about?

You know what? There's a guy who has a crush on me.

He's seven years younger than me. And he's single.

Really?

He's tall and has a nice build.

And thick eyebrows.

He might seem unattractive at a glimpse,

but if you take a close look, he has captivating charm.

He's something like that.

I'm serious.

Just give me one more.

Gosh, this is all I have.

I'm not lying.

I guess this is good for Alzheimer's.

She doesn't believe me.

Do you make good bossam kimchi?

Do you want to eat bossam kimchi?

Not me. It's for Director Kwon.

Our hospital is about to shut down.

Nothing.

You know Director Kwon is really into bossam kimchi.

He likes the expensive thing in kimchi.

Things like small octopus, abalone, or pear.

He just loves it.

Does he like bossam kimchi?

Totally.

He wouldn't eat my cooking though.

He's really mean, isn't he?

Give me the bonus.

I should get some rest here.

It's a star.

Ms. Han.

Are you in the kitchen?

No, I'm not in the kitchen.

Ms. Han.

What are you doing?

This is what Ms. Han practices.

I'm just afraid I'd get dementia.

Hey, you're messing up her living room.

My gosh.

I gave my prayers before.

I wished I would have dementia.

My prayers have been working. What if this one works too?

What are you talking about? Just move over.

Move over.

-Hey! -My gosh.

Darn it.

Hey, what do you even do?

Ms. Han is having a hard time.

Can't you clean up the house and do the laundry for her?

Can't I just vacuum this good-for-nothing?

My gosh.

-Can't I get rid of him? -That's enough.

Forget-me-not Pension, No. 777, Haean-ro, Boryeong-si, Chungnam.

What's that?

How did I even memorize it when I'm so stupid?

I don't know. I didn't hear anything.

Just forget it. Forget all about it, Tae-hyun.

What is it? What's that address for?

It's for Mom.

Mom lives in Boryeong now.

Hello.

Where's Cha-young?

She went out saying she has a place to go.

I see.

I just left while eating earlier.

Can you check if the mapo tofu rice is still here?

I don't know.

Okay.

Wait.

I'll be working here instead of Seon-ae.

Until the hospital shut down.

She was worried about this place even after she quit.

I heard you were looking for someone new,

but no one would come here unless they went crazy.

I'm just here because I'm a crazy wench with no guts.

AUNT HYE-MI

Hello?

FORGET-ME-NOT PENSION

SEIZED

NOTICE

NO LIEN, WILL BE REDEVELOPED INTO FARMING LAND

Excuse me.

Is anyone in there?

The pension is closed.

Hello.

I'm looking for someone.

Her name is Seo Yeon-ju.

Seo Yeon-ju?

I'm not sure.

People don't usually call each other's name.

Here. This is her.

What?

I think this wench is the fraud.

That's right.

I heard her name was Seo something.

Did you get swindled by her too?

No.

Did something happen here?

Something did happen.

The owner of this vacation house and I went to the same school.

That woman used to live with him,

but she took out a loan using this vacation house as collateral

and ran off with the money.

Because of her, my friend lost everything.

To this day, he goes to the bus stop

first thing in the morning

without even having breakfast and waits for that wench.

Happy birthday, Cha-young.

Mommy's going to buy you a birthday gift.

Meet me at the department store after school.

Mom. It's me, Cha-young.

I'm waiting for you at the department store. Why aren't you coming?

I've been here for three hours already.

When are you coming?

I'll wait on the first floor.

Are you waiting for someone?

Yes, my wife.

Don't wait for her, sir.

She won't come back.

I waited for her too.

She said she'd come soon,

and 20 years have passed since then,

but she never showed up.

What are you talking about? I'm not following at all.

People said that my mom lied to me

and that she'd never come back,

but I still

waited for her without giving up.

To tell you the truth, I waited for her until yesterday.

But starting today, I won't.

So you should stop waiting for her too.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Even though we barely knew each other I could see us

Becoming one like a sweet couple

You'll be deeply touched and so happy

Did you find Mom?

Don't reply, Cha-young.

I don't care to know whether you found Mom or not.

Not interested, whatsoever.

I don't care about Mom at all,

so do not reply, Cha-young.

No, no luck.

I was told that no one by that name lives here.

Gosh, I'm hungry.

What should I eat?

I should treat myself to something very expensive and delicious.

In the presence bam bam

Bam bam, upon the reggae is bam bam

WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT: 500,000 WON

AMOUNT: 500,000 WON ACCOUNT BALANCE: 3,230 WON

MUD'S DINER

Please take this.

What is this?

I'm paying for the meals for the owner of Forget-Me-Not Pension.

Please take care of his meals from now on.

You said he's your friend. Please make sure he doesn't skip meals.

When the money is used up,

I'll send you more.

Take care.

If you give me that troubled, baffled look,

what kind of face am I supposed to make?

I told you what Grandma wants.

Please reconsider shutting down the hospice.

Your grandmother has entrusted me with full authority.

Considering the foundation's future,

I think shutting down the hospice is something that has to be done.

MOON CHA-YOUNG

And that being said,

when the hospice is shut down,

-we'll have to talk about what you-- -Hello?

It's me, Cha-young.

I know.

Are you busy now?

No, I'm not busy at all.

Where are you?

I didn't see you when I went to the kitchen earlier.

I'm in Boryeong now. The city in South Chungcheong Province.

If I leave now, I should be able to get there in two hours.

Can you wait for me?

Okay. Send me the address, then.

All right.

What was that about? I was talking to you.

I'll make sure the hospice won't be shut down.

So I don't think I need to hear your briefing

on what I should do after it's shut down.

What?

I have to take care of something important, so I'll get going.

Where am I now?

Hello.

Do I know you?

We met a little while ago.

When?

Because of you, Hyeon-seok and I got into a fight...

Right, she has Alzheimer's.

Anyway, it's nice to meet you.

I'm Lee Seung-hun, Hyeon-seok's friend.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Where are you going? All by yourself. You're not even well.

I'm on my way to drop off lunch I made

for my husband.

I guess interns have a lot of work.

He can't even come home.

He's been working all night for days.

I see.

Let's go.

Listen.

When the word about the hospice shutting down gets out,

you'll face strong resistance from the employees.

I mean, they'll lose their jobs overnight.

So you know what you people are trying to do?

What's wrong with it?

We must get rid of things that have no future

and invest in what seems more promising to grow it more.

We're making an economically sensible move.

You've been a doctor your whole life and know nothing about business.

So what? You're afraid that the employees would go on strike or something?

Are you here to ask me to try to coax

and persuade them?

Gosh, you prick.

Hey, we're friends.

I guarantee there will be a position for you.

If there's a specific position you want--

What the hell?

Hey, this is a hospice. What's with the baseball bat?

Did you put it there to beat me with it?

I brought it to play baseball with one of the kids here.

If you keep this up,

I'll bash your head in with this.

-What are you-- -You'd better stay out of my sight. Okay?

Damn it.

If you have time to play with some kid,

you should look after your ex-wife first.

I know you two are divorced,

but leaving a serious patient alone?

Shame on you.

Honey.

Look at this mess.

I made lunch for you,

but a truck

drove by as if it was going to hit me.

It scared the crap out of me,

so I dropped your lunch.

Gosh, what should I do?

You must be hungry.

My gosh, this bossam kimchi...

I made it all for you and now it's ruined.

Oh, honey...

What am I to do?

What a waste. I'm sorry, honey.

Hello.

A lady told me

that I have to eat grilled clams

if I came all the way to Boryeong.

Especially if I'm not

in the greatest mood.

But I have to say,

it tastes much better than I expected.

Eating delicious food

suddenly made me think of you.

I'm glad you called me.

Thank you

for thinking of me while eating something delicious.

But come to think of it,

I feel bad for making you come here knowing how busy you are.

It's my day off today.

I only went in

because I wanted to see you.

Try it.

It's really good.

You should eat too.

I'm going to

tell you a long story.

Will you listen?

There's someone I really liked.

I know it'll sound like a cliché,

but he was my first love.

I was starving,

and he made a warm home-cooked meal for me.

He didn't even charge me.

He said he'd make chocolate shasha for me if I came back around lunchtime,

but we had to go back to Seoul because my parents fought,

so I couldn't keep my part of the promise.

About a year later,

I went back there to find that boy,

but I was told that he had moved to Seoul.

Then I grew up

and met him again, like a miracle.

"Lee Kang"?

I don't intend to date anyone for a while.

And I don't have time for it either.

I'm telling you not to waste your time.

If you have time to chase me around,

you should use that time to focus on your recovery.

I tried to forget him.

So some days,

I couldn't even remember his name.

But there were also days

when I couldn't stop

thinking about him all day long,

which made my heart flutter and sad at the same time,

filled with thoughts of him.

Min-seong and I

got together because of him.

When I went to the place where we first met

after hearing that he got into a big accident

in Libya.

Wait. Did you even love Min-seong?

There's a guy who keeps staring at us.

Stay still.

I bet he's envious of us.

I don't want you to make eye contact. What if he steals you away from me?

I'm...

in love with someone else.

Are you going back to Greece?

Have a safe flight back.

And I hope we never meet again.

Cha-young!

Let's stop talking about Min-seong,

your past,

and my past.

How about we only talk about us from now on?

As if it's always been just the two of us from the very beginning.

Subtitle translation by Young-ju Kim

How am I supposed to find you if you hide here like this?

I missed you so much.

Shouldn't I hold your hand first?

Next time.

You can do it next time. Today, I'll hold your hand.

A person

died.

If she had the chocolate herself

instead of giving it to me,

she could still be alive.

That lady

who gave you the chocolate.

What...

was she like?

I've never forgotten her.

Ms. Jung Su-hui.
