I'm returning this to you.

This is yours, so do what you want with it.

Whether you keep it or not, it's up to you.

I'm really sorry that this is all I can do for you.

Wherever you are...

Be well.

And don't be sick.

I'll get going.

Grandma.

- Hi, were you drawing, Aram? - Yes.

Where did you go so early?

- Did you eat to feel better? - I just ate.

What's with the hangover soup?

You saved the dentistry.

- Hyungi changed his mind? - Yea.

Taeyang Real-estate said he canceled the listing.

And I signed the new tenant for the academy.

That's good. Is everything over with then?

Not until she moves out. Hyungi needs to move on also.

Anyway, you did a big thing.

But why do I feel like I did something bad?

Don't feel like that.

Everything happens for a reason.

- Boram is here. - Boram!

Aram.

Gee, they're so happy to see each other.

How long has it been, Boram?

Come here you. Let's see how much you've grown.

Wow, you must've eaten well.

Yes, I ate rice and snacks, too.

Sure, you need to eat well.

- Where are bros? - Huh?

Oh hi, Boram. You're much bigger.

Aram, where did daddy say he was going?

I don't know.

Here, the cooking oil.

Perhaps we should make mountain herb pancakes next year.

- Ouch, it's hot! - Oh, Inok.

I'm so out of it, thought it was cooking oil...

You put it in already.

What's the matter? Snap out of it.

What's going on?

It's nothing. Soy sauce and oil splattered a little.

Should've been more careful. You burn yourself?

I'm fine, Father. You can go.

Inok...I think it's burnt.

Gosh, come, come.

Why weren't you more careful?

Here, you like jopchae, right?

- Yes. - Say, ah-.

I like it, too, Grandma.

Yes, yes. Aram likes it also.

I made this delicious jopchae for Aram and Boram.

Aram, ah-.

That a girl.

Are you going to day care, Boram?

Yes, until it gets dark.

Until dark?

Until what time?

It's a night class, so until about 9 or 10?

He is there all day?

Mirim has no choice because of the restaurant.

But still...

Why does a child have to be away from his mom like that?

At least Boram is 4, Mom.

In Korea,

60% of babies under the age of 2 are placed in day cares.

I wonder what the moms do.

When both parents work, there's no choice. You'll see.

I'd have no problem if it was that.

But even housewives do it.

Mother needs to raise their child at least 2 or 3.

How is that child different from an orphan? Goodness...

This is all your fault.

Your child is suffering because of you! You know that?

There you go again. That's bad for your heart.

Think of your health and stop yelling now.

Gosh, that mouth of yours.

Hey, shut your mouth and just eat.

How can I eat with my mouth shut?

Mingi...Do it instead.

Yes, sir.

Gosh, not you too.

My son's watching.

So be good, dork.

Divorce? What's that?

It's when mom and dad fight and separate.

Like your mom and dad.

My mom and dad are divorced?

Yea, I have a classmate whose parents divorced, too.

When do they live together then?

They don't.

No! I'm going to live with mom and dad!

They don't live together when divorced.

Aang...Daddy.

- What's the matter? - What's wrong, son?

- Did you and mommy divorce? - What?

Are you not living together because you fought?

Boram, the thing is...

Boram, why don't you come to Grandma?

Let's go home, Daddy. Go to Mommy.

Yu Boram, didn't I say boys don't cry easily? Ttook!

Ttook!

You're living with Mommy, right?

Boram, want to go out? And eat something yummy?

Little Uncle, me, too.

Okay, Aram, too.

Here, eat this.

Yes, Hyungi.

The owner of this phone got drunk and passed out.

What? Where is that?

- Going somewhere? - Oh, yes.

Should rest on your day off.

Bye, Boram. See you next week. I'll be back.

Where is he rushing off to?

But where is Hyungi? He should give Boram allowance.

Hyungi, Hyungi! Hyungi, get up.

- Hyungi, Hyungi! - You're here.

What kind of man passes out after a couple beers?

Goodness...Geez...

Hyungi...

Why drink when you can't...

Hyungi, Hyungi...

What made him drink in the middle of day like this?

Gosh, Hyungi!

- Please get Songhi. - She has the day off.

Day off? She didn't mention anything.

Is something wrong?

She has a family affair.

Would you like to order, sir?

Aram and Boram. Order everything you want.

Whoa!

Can we really do that?

What do you recommend as children's menu?

One that's cheap with big portion.

If you're looking for cheap with big portion...

Those taste the best.

How about these?

That customer hasn't come in a couple days.

It's making me curious as to why.

I guess he's busy.

What time is Boram coming?

After dinner.

Welcome.

Hi.

- Boram, did you have fun with dad? - Yea.

Hi, Aram.

- Hello. - Yes.

Hello! Boram ate and played well today.

- Bye, Boram. - Dad, don't go.

Boram, dad will be back next week. Sleep 7 nights...

No, don't go.

Yu Boram, didn't we promise?

Boys don't cry easily. Ttook!

Ttook.

I'll come get you next week. Promise.

Promise.

Welcome.

- Hello. - Hi.

I'm a bit late today, right?

Hi, Boram.

Who are you?

I am Yu Aram.

You are very pretty.

Thank you.

I'd like to thank you.

If it wasn't for you, Mirim would've been in trouble.

Nothing happened since, right?

No.

Go.

Aram, let's go.

I'll have seafood spicy noodles.

Hyungi fell asleep at your studio?

Why sleep there and not the house?

You two drank together?

Why make him drink when you know he can't?

Geez...Okay.

Hyungi drank?

Yes, he drank with Mingi and passed out.

He'll sleep there.

He must want to drink. He should do at least that.

What does that solve? It's only unhealthy.

Where you going?

To make hangover soup.

Make him radish soup. Hyungi likes that.

Inok...

Inok...

Did he break up with Inok?

Clean up tomorrow and rest, Inok.

Why did you come? I'm all done.

Geez...How's your hand?

I put ointment on, so it's fine.

Did you see Dr. Yu earlier?

Why did he come?

Did Father go to bed?

Changing the subject? It's suspicious.

Don't be.

Go to bed, Songhi. I'm gonna sleep, too.

Something's off.

Did they break up?

Mingi, Mingi.

Oh, Hyungi.

You awake? How's your stomach?

Why did I sleep here?

Don't you remember?

You got drunk at Han River and passed out yesterday.

Oh...But how did you know?

The market owner called me.

Can't believe you drank alcohol.

Sorry.

I told Mom you passed out while drinking with me.

Okay, good.

But what's going on? What happened with Inok?

We broke up yesterday.

I'm leaving.

What should I say right now? Don't know what to say.

You needn't say anything. Bye.

Don't look at me like that. Many people break up.

Mom.

Are you all ready?

Mom, are you sick?

You have a fever.

No, I'm okay.

Let's go, Dabin.

Dabin, let's go with Grandpa.

- Grandpa, Mom's sick. - I'm okay, Dabin.

Where are you sick? Go see a doctor then.

Let's go right now.

My body aches a little. Some rest will do.

Go get a shot then.

It's better to rest.

Did you take medicine?

Yes.

Rest up today. You've overworked lately.

Just go see a doctor with me, Inok.

That's really okay, Songhi. I want to rest.

Okay, Dabin will be late. We'll be back.

Let's go.

Bye. Be sure to take medicine.

- Okay, Goodbye. - Bye.

I'm sorry, Father and Mother.

You canceled the listing?

Yes.

Good, Hyungi. Thanks.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

Please forgive me for upsetting you.

I'm sorry for hitting you.

Did you drink a lot?

No.

You know he can't drink. I'm sure it was a beer or two.

- Eat hangover soup before leaving. - Yes.

The academy...Was signed off yesterday.

All right.

Just think that it wasn't meant to be and move on.

Mother-in-law.

Oh...

Hello.

- Hi, it's been a while. - Yes.

Are you going somewhere?

I stopped by the restaurant.

Send Aram over to the house.

It's so hard to see her face when we live so close by.

Sorry.

If you're busy, just drop Aram off.

No, Mother.

I miss Jin anyways, so I'll bring Aram over this weekend.

Okay.

Um...Hyungi.

Yes.

- I have a favor to ask. - Yes, please say it.

Please talk to Jin and persuade him.

On what?

Jin is going on a trip to Iceland.

Iceland? But why?

He won't say, but it has to do with Sinyong and Mingi.

It's not going well with Sinyong right now.

Has Mingi said anything?

No...

Must you worry Mother by going on a trip?

Yes, I want to.

Try to understand, Hyungi.

Is there another reason?

I guess there is.

Later...I'll tell you another time.

I'm sure you've thought it through,

but it's bad for Mother to stay here all alone.

You look out for her.

I asked Mingi also, but she'll be more comfortable with you.

Don't worry about that.

You have your reasons, so I can't stop you.

When are you leaving?

After I see Sinyong.

If she's moved out, it must be serious.

I can't contact her after she left.

I have both you and Mingi to worry about.

I don't know what to tell you.

You don't need to.

It's been very hectic for me lately.

I should've taken a better care of you and Mother, but didn't.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

I heard about you from time to time.

I was hoping it would work out.

Let me take a breather.

Ring, ring. I said ring.

Any ideas to bump up sales?

How can he not call after leaving like that?

How about an advertisement?

Is there an original idea that doesn't cost money?

Why won't you report back to me? Why?

Report what?

Pay attention. She's asking for ideas to increase sales.

Aren't I enough?

Can't you be more serious during meetings?

I'm sorry.

Oh, how about this? Online shopping mall.

We can run it simultaneously with the offline store,

so customers can shop anytime.

Then to manage the webpage,

we'll need another employee.

What's so hard about hiring one more person?

I mean,

Popular online shopping malls make up to $30 million a year.

It'll need some start-up money.

Not as much as you think.

And online mall must have a killer webpage.

So you'll need a good web designer.

Mom.

Dad.

I'll be strong and live well.

So don't worry.

Jin, it's me.

I'll be over at the house tonight.

Okay, Sinyong.

I heard about your new place.

Okay, see you later.

Mom, Sinyong called. She'll be here tonight.

Really?

When she comes, talk to her. Don't put it off any longer.

- You calling Mingi? - Yes.

Don't.

You need to keep distance.

Why did this start in the first place? On top of that, you're going on a trip.

If you lose Sinyong, you have nothing to say.

Please stop.

Did you finish? Tonight's the deadline.

I'm almost done.

Inok? Inok?

Is she asleep?

She went out in that condition?

You going out?

Yes, to give the contract money since academy is leased.

But where's my pay?

Oh yeah, I forgot.

- Good work. - Thanks.

Oh, what's this? 100 bucks?

The rest is being used to repay the motorcycle repair.

So I really have to last a month on 100 bucks?

- Give it if you don't want it. - Who said I don't?

Since the academy is solved, do I get herbal extract?

When she's completely moved out.

Gee, what can I do with 100 bucks a month?

My image is being tarnished as I'm aging.

But I won't die like this.

I'll get a side job if need be to obtain my image.

Aging is sad enough, but this is really...Geez...

Ah, I'm burning up.

Yes, I'm okay, Father.

I can rest tomorrow.

I went to the doctor's, too.

Yes, I'll be home early.

What brings you...

The academy was signed off yesterday.

I see.

This is 10% of the contract.

I'll give the rest when you move out.

Okay.

Are you sick?

No.

I'm sure it's been hard on you...

Oh gosh! What's going on?

Look, Inok.

Oh no, what do I do?

Inok, Inok!

Wait, isn't that the piano teacher?

- What's going on? - Oh no, what now?

- This is bad. - What in the world?

She's been under a lot of stress.

Yes, I know.

Guardian, get in.

- No, I'm... - Get in. There's no time.

Oh no...

Why didn't you come earlier?

What's going on? Is someone sick?

Piano teacher fainted and was sent to the ER.

- Inok did? - Yes.

- Your mom went with them. - You should go.

Darn...

She is unconscious.

She's in her 30s and is unconscious with high fever.

Her SPO2 is normal.

First, check her temperature and run a blood test.

Does she have a history of illness?

What? Oh, I'm not her guardian.

I'm an acquaintance, and she fainted while we were talking.

[Hyungi].

Yes, hello.

Is there a patient by the name, Seong Inok?

What is your relation with the patient?

- Yes, I'm a friend. - Yes, she's currently admitted here.

Can you tell me what her status is and why she is there?

I can't tell you that.

Yes, okay.

You're awake.

It was a temporary shock from overwork, stress, and cold.

Have you been very stressed out recently?

Based on the blood test, except for the inflammation from cold,

everything else is normal.

I've given a fever reducer, so it'll go down as well.

- Yes, thank you. - Sure.

Are you okay?

Yes. I'm sorry for startling you.

Stay down.

I'm fine now.

You should get going now.

Do you have something to say?

I appreciated that.

In front of my son.

Excuse me.

Why?

I'm a little...

Are you sick? Should I get the doctor?

No, that's okay.

I appreciated that. In front of my son.

Mother, did you give her money just now?

How can you say that?

That's right, Hyungi.

Mother gave it to me.

Look.

- I asked her for money. - What?

I needed money so I asked her.

Yes, yes.

Hello, sir.

Gee, it's you again.

Sir, please hear me out once.

Can't you see I'm busy?

Besides, I don't need a new car.

Here...

Drink this.

Drink, it's still warm.

I don't drink coffee.

Then...How about green tea?

Drink it. It's warm.

You have more?

Of course.

What would you like? I'll go get it quickly.

I'll give you one minute to talk.

Let's give each other mutual help.

We should help one another in this economy.

Introduce me to your customers, and I'll advertise this place to mine.

Isn't that nice?

It's not as easy as it sounds.

I would be happy,

but there aren't that many people looking to buy cars.

It's your loss.

I'm not expecting to sell from the get go.

I'll gain their trust first. If you first introduce me...

Did you bring car brochures?

Yes! Yes, I did.

My daughter-in-law?

Yes. You didn't know? It's been couple of hours.

Hello?

Yes, Inok? Where are you now?

I heard you went to the ER? You okay?

Why can't you take a better care of your body?

Why does the body ache? Because you should rest.

You lied about going to the doctor earlier, right?

Do we starve if you don't work?

We can live off solely on my pension.

Are you alone? Think of Dabin, too.

I'm sorry, Father.

You should express it when you're sick, it's tough, or need to rest.

Do you get an award by living like this?

Even if you do, what will you do with it?

I'll take better care of myself so you won't have to worry.

Sorry for scolding you when you're sick and in misery.

Don't say that.

The medicine is in your room.

Take it and get some sleep.

Okay, than you.

I'm going out.

I left after seeing her talking to Mother.

It must be hard for Inok, too.

But something doesn't sit right.

What is it?

I think something transpired between Mother and Inok.

But they're hiding it from me.

With Mom? But what would they hide?

Inok had ordered advertisement fliers.

Why would she if she was planning to close it?

Even when she broke up with me, she said it would be hard to move.

So she had a change of heart overnight.

You have a point.

So Mom had something to do with it?

Any clues?

- I do, but... - What?

The money thing keeps bothering me.

These things always come up again later.

So Mom gave Inok money?

I'm not certain, but that's what it seemed like.

Mom wouldn't do that.

What about Inok then?

She isn't the one to lose integrity for money, either.

I mean, we aren't that rich to pull something like that.

I know.

It is kind of odd though.

It's Mother.

Yes, Mother.

Yes, I was curious about Inok's condition.

I heard you were with her.

It's a combination of overwork, stress, and cold.

She'll get better after resting, don't worry.

Yes, okay.

Is Inok okay?

Yea.

Only job on a motorcycle would be quick service.

That's dangerous.

Could I compete with young people?

Even if I get a job, I won't be paid for a month.

I can't wait that long...

Should I go collect money?

Sinyong hasn't called yet?

Hyungi was there?

I see. Today's the deadline, right?

Is it working out?

Yes, okay, Jin. Yea, bye.

- Who is it? - It's your dad.

Father. What brings you here?

Do I need a reason to come?

I just wanted to see you.

You need money?

You're so sharp. I don't even need to say it.

How much?

The more the better. Transfer it to my account.

- You know the number? - Yes.

- Did you buy shoes? - Pardon? Yes...

- Uh, Father. - Yea?

Um...

It's unlike you to hesitate. Just say it.

I was wondering how Mother's doing.

What do you mean?

The economy is bad, so wondered if she any money matters.

Money matters?

She did say it was hard paying off building's loan interest.

Oh, really?

Why, did she ask for money?

No.

Um...

It's nothing.

- I'll get you a... - Hey, why did you stop?

Father, I'm being very hypothetical here.

Okay.

Did Mom give Inok something?

Give what?

Money.

Money? What are you talking about?

Did she in exchange for their breakup and closing the academy?

Did you see it or hear it?

It's only an assumption on no ground.

Why would you assume that?

You need it for a new book?

The only money I know she gave is to Mirim.

Besides, your mom isn't like that.

Sure. Just ignore what I said.

How can you think that about your mom?

If she knew, she'd want to die.

You know how she raised you?

Watch it from now on.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Yes, there's a 1500sq ft. one near city hall.

It's by a big intersection, so very good business location.

Yes, yes. Stop by sometime. Thank you. Bye.

Money...Money?

Post up the academy as soon as possible.

- What? Is she moving out? - Yes.

Just what did you do for her to...

I didn't.

She thought about it and realized it was wrong to stay.

You got your wish.

But what's with you?

Shouldn't you look happier than that?

I'm tired, that's why.

I have my suspicions, but have no evidence.

But I can't just ask her flat out.

About what?

If it's true, she forced Inok out.

Then why did I have to smack Hyungi?

What?

Butt out and work.

Thank you for last time.

If it weren't for you, Mirim would've been in trouble.

- Nothing happened since? - No.

What exactly happened?

They don't seem to be dating so why do I feel uneasy?

Is he obsessed with eating ramen?

Why should I care?

Wait, of course I should care.

Mirim and Boram are one,

so of course I should. Yup.

What are you doing?

Welcome.

- The client you saw last time. - Who?

New York style.

Oh, is he here?

No, you look after him from now on. He wants personal lessons.

I only work with females.

Thought you wanted to know him?

Who knows? If you're lucky, he'll buy a car.

Oh, really?

If I reel him in, he'll definitely buy one.

Since he's been in New York, he might want a foreign car.

How should I know?

Hello?

- Seunggi, you came here yesterday? - Yea, heard you were off.

Should've called me in advance.

I can still eat without you.

Oh, I'll go there now. I need to talk to you.

Now? To see me?

It's been a day, and you miss me already?

Hey, let's hang up before you change my mind.

Okay, see you later.

Are you two officially dating?

I'm not that easy.

Is that why you're selling cars for her?

"I'm not that easy..."

Welcome, Sinyong.

Have a seat.

It's been a while.

Have you been eating well?

Yes.

Did you come for your things?

And to talk to Jin.

Okay. It's been put off for too long.

Let's get to the bottom of it.

Mom, let us talk alone.

You want me to stay out?

No, Mother. Say it.

Jin, hear her out first.

You know what it means by moving out?

And what it means by getting your own place?

Yes.

Okay, what does it mean?

I want Jin and I to separate for a while.

For a while? How long does that entail?

I'm not exactly sure.

It could be a month, two months, or even a year...

A year?

Jin and I need some time apart.

I'm sure he agrees. Right, Jin?

We'll talk later.

You aren't thinking of breaking up then?

Why can't you answer?

I'll talk to Jin about it.

Mom, let me and Sinyong talk alone.

Where is your new place?

I'll tell you later.

Write down your address here.

I'll send your belongings by delivery.

Just have them packed, and I'll send them tomorrow.

It's Mingi.

Hello?

It's me.

Me who?

Too bad if you don't know. When are you done?

- Why you ask? - You're gonna be there, right?

Why you asking? You curious about S again?

I'll go there tonight so be there.

Fine. Around what time?

Just don't be late.

What's gotten into him to call?

A date?

What's with the sad music?

I'll kick it up a notch.

I want to sell my current car for a smaller one.

The monthly payment is too much.

Are you doing it to help me?

Well, more or less.

Thanks.

Don't be moved by this, it's lame.

Who said I was?

It's only 1 car out of 10, so it's a start.

Starting is most important.

Once you start, you're half way there.

- You'll give good options, right? - Don't worry.

You bring the stamp, ID, and insurance receipt?

- Wait, let's do it while we eat. - No, I start work in 10 minutes.

You're still a customer then.

- Excuse me. - Yes, sir.

What's the most expensive thing on the menu?

Would you like to look at the steaks?

Wait...

It's self-pay.

Cheap with big portion, like yesterday.

Ah, yes...

Then we have salads over here...

Are you going on the trip?

Yea.

You're so carefree to go on a trip like this.

Sorry. I know it's hard for you.

Can't you stay then?

I told you last time.

Never mind...Go.

Let's be honest.

What do you want to see happen?

Regarding our relationship, our wedding.

I'm sure you've thought about it.

I'll do as you say.

As you said, we can spend some time apart.

Do as I say?

Then...What if I want to break up?

You said you'll do as I say.

It must've crossed your mind. How did it feel?

- Sinyong. - Don't avoid and answer.

Do you really want to break up?

Don't ask what I want and tell me what you want.

If that's what you really want.

If that's what I really want?

You sure that's not what you want?

I can only go along with your decision, Sinyong.

Why?

Why can't you?

Isn't there what you want?

Can't you do as you please?

The choice is up to you.

- Don't avoid like that. - I'm not.

Then don't put it so easily.

I wasn't doing that, either.

You're still a coward.

Fine...

Then, let me see if you can really do that.

If I want to be with Mingi, will you let me go?

If I leave you and choose him, will you let me?

Think about it carefully.

Think if you can really do that.

Jin said he had a deadline today.

He won't answer his phone? I'll call him.

Don't worry. He'll submit it by today. Bye.

What did Sinyong say?

Well, what did she say?

What was said that made her storm up to her room?

You two argue?

Please leave. I want to rest.

Just what did you two talk about?

I'm leaving, Mother.

I finished packing. Please have them sent.

What did you and Jin talk about?

Are you keeping quiet, too? He won't say a word.

Did you two talk about Mingi?

It's frustrating whether you're here or not.

If you aren't going to say, go.

- Goodbye. - Sinyong.

Yes.

This isn't a real goodbye, right?

Or could it be?

That's up to Jin.

You're still blaming Jin.

Do you feel better by putting it all on him?

Bye.

Sinyong!

What happened?

Did you go home to pack?

Yea.

Are you okay?

Yea.

Did you see Jin?

Yea.

Get in.

I'll take a cab. I know you came for Jin.

Get in.

I won't ask anything.

Let's go for a drive.

If I want to be with Mingi, will you let me go?

If I leave you and choose Mingi, will you let me?

Think about it carefully.

Think about if you can really do that.

[Address- Seoul, Yeongdeung District, Dang-san Street 28-51].

Min...

Jin.

Are you okay?

Don't be sick.
