Sorry. I'm really sorry.

Mom! Mom!

- Mom! - Mother!

Mother, it's me Dae Bum.

Can you hear me? If you can, nod your head.

Good job.

I'm going to help you up.

If you can get up then nod again.

I'm going to help you up, Mother.

Mom... Are you okay?

What's wrong? Did you fall?

Dae Bum, she's bleeding.

My mom is bleeding, Dae Bum!

Yeah.

She won't need stitches, I think we just need to stop the bleeding.

You should have been careful.

You should have been careful, why did you fall and make me upset?

Mom...

Mother...

You can't see, Mom?

Mom. Mom, I'm here.

You can see, right?

You can see me, right, Mom?

Here. My hand...

Grab my hand, Mom.

Grab my hand and get up, Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

What's wrong? What happened?

Mom's sick? Where?

Move! Don't touch my mom!

What are you doing to your sister?

Who's my sister? Forget it!

And your father? Where is he?

I don't know. He must have left.

What? Left?

He was fine, where did he go?

What if the gangsters catch him?

He suffered more because of Miss High and Mighty, who cares about the gangsters?

He's already a complete mess!

Shut your mouth. Get out!

You still can't see anything, Mother?

It'll come back after I sleep.

Don't worry and just go.

What? You can't see?

Why can't you see, Mom?

Suddenly, why can't you see?

Mi Ran, disinfect Mother's forehead.

Forehead?

You got hurt? Why? How?

Because of you! This is all your fault!

Mom getting hurt and her not being able to see, it's all your fault!

If you're going to leave, hurry up!

Leave right now!

Dae Bum. Forget disinfecting and get them out.

Episode 15

Where's the ahjumma and why are you cleaning?

Just because. I wanted to do it.

It's not because you were cleaning her room

instead of mine because you wanted to but felt guilty?

Go back to how you were, Mom.

Stop trying so hard.

I'm about to feel sorry for being a thorn in your side.

You catch on so quick.

I won't do it. I won't do it.

I get yelled at even if I this for you.

You learn to catch on quick when you keep looking for hints.

Mom, you don't know that, right?

That when you only look at her when you're with her so you don't look at me at all.

When did I do that?

It's the beginning so I'll let it go

but if you keep it up, I'm going to get really mad.

Okay.

I'll pick up on your hints from now on too.

Continuously. Better?

Yeah. Make sure you do!

Jung Won.

Yeah?

Let's put everything in the open.

Let's not keep anything that upsets or bothers us inside and say everything.

Let's not childishly or immaturely hide anything.

Yes. Let's do that.

The disposable coffee cup...

Why isn't it here?

Did you throw it out?

Yeah, I did, why? Why?

Why did you throw that out?

I put a post-it on it saying not to throw it out,

how could you throw it out?

What's so important about that cup that I can't throw it out?

Tell me!

You must have a reason

you even put a post-it on it and didn't let me throw it out.

What kind of coffee was it?

Did you receive it from someone special?

No... Just because...

I got it from an author I like so I wanted to treasure it.

Author?

Yes! A poet.

You know poet Kim Yong Taek, right?

You like him too.

He came up to Seoul for a lecture.

Really?

[Ophthalmology Hospital]

It's been a while since she went in, why isn't she coming out?

She'll be out soon.

It's probably presbyopia*, right? (presbyopia = sight weakening due to old age)

Probably.

I always knew her eyes were bad

but I was so busy with the wedding

that I forgot to get her the glasses I promised her.

Everytime we went to the bathhouse, she said she couldn't see

and would ask what was the shampoo or the conditioner.

Even though I saw her struggling every time she sewed

because she couldn't see the eye of the needle, I always forgot...

I didn't want to be bothered by it so I pretended to forget.

I did that, Dae Bum.

You're not the only one.

I'm like that too.

I run to the hospital if Seung Won just coughs

but when my mother gets a fracture, I assume a brace will be enough.

I pretend not to know or that it'll be okay so my studies won't be bothered.

I should have gone in with her.

You're moving to Pyungchang-dong tomorrow?

Yeah.

Recently, you've fallen often and couldn't see well in front of you, right?

Yes. Well, I think it happened a few times.

Your intraocular pressure is high and

it seems like there's a problem with your optic nerve.

It's because I'm old. It's presbyopia.

It's not presbyopia, it's glaucoma.

Glaucoma?

Glaucoma sounds familiar but I'm not exactly sure what that is.

I'm the one who came for my eyes, why is your expression worse?

What is glaucoma? It's okay.

There are even blind people out there.

If there's a problem, I can take medicine, get surgery, or you can fix it.

You're going to lose your sight.

In my opinion, it'll be one year at most or six months at shortest.

It's progressing right now.

What?

Lose... Lose my sight?

So, my eyes...

You're saying that I'm going to lose both my eyes?

I'm sorry.

Look here. Look here! Look here!

How can you scare me with unbelievable nonsense and just say you're sorry?

You can't do this!

You can't do this!

Let's check it out again!

I...

One more time, let's do it one more time!

When I just got checked out, I didn't try!

I didn't try at all!

If you came with other guardians, I'll tell them to come in.

No! You can't! You can't!

You cannot tell her! You can't ever tell her!

I can't hold back my poor daughter again!

No! Keep it a secret.

Promise me that you won't tell my child anything, Doctor.

You can't tell my daughter.

I'm begging you, I'm begging you.

Okay? I'm begging you.

What did he say?

What else? He said to quickly get glasses.

That my eyes got incredibly bad.

There's nothing else beside presbyopia?

There are a few problems here and there because I'm old.

There are problems but I can take medicine.

Let's sit for a bit.

When they call my name, let's get the prescription and go.

What a relief.

We broke apart because of a fight from a small misunderstanding

We're so used to fighting that we change things back

Fallen apart

And hidden

I hope our good memories don't become scars

Everything will fade

Even our days together

Like worn out shoelaces

They'll become forgotten

They'll trickle away

Even the time left

We'll turn our backs and ignore each other

We'll just live on

Let me go, I'll let you go

[Forest of Wisdom]

I built this with Dad in the middle of nowhere.

We painstakingly chose each tree and every pane of glass to build it.

I picked all the desks, sofas, shelves and tables.

Give it up?

She suddenly shows up and wants me to simply give up everything, my everything?

Dad, can I no longer say any of my opinions?

Is that how it is?

Editor-in-chief?

You should have come in, why are you just leaving?

I just didn't want to be at home so I thought about working

but I suddenly didn't want to.

Excuse me, my arm.

Ah, yes.

But it's the weekend, you came to Paju all the way from Seoul?

I just thought about working too.

There's another sad pathetic lonely old soul here too.

What?

No, no. I was just talking to myself so don't mind me.

But why are you breathing so heavily?

Did you see me and run out?

Why? Do you have something to ask me?

No, I don't.

Then why did you run out?

Editor-in-chief?

I was thinking about ordering jjajangmyun but I didn't want to order one bowl.

I was wondering what I should do.

Should I order jjajangmyun* and fried dumplings? (jjajangmyun=black beans noodles)

If I order dumplings too then that's too much to eat

but I happened to see you so I ran out.

What? Jjajangmyun?

You don't look very busy, let's go inside and eat jjajangmyun together.

What are you doing? I'm hungry. Let's go inside.

On this nice spring day,

on this nice Saturday afternoon,

I'm eating jjajangmyun with you inside the office.

Oh, my poor life.

It may not be much to you but I ordered a lot

so don't leave anything and finish it all.

Yes, yes.

I'll eat before you start preaching about the suffering from the Japanese tsunami.

I'll eat it all without leaving a single noodle.

There's one thing that I'm curious and bothered about you.

If I ask, will you answer me?

Let's hear that one thing that you're curious and bothered about me.

Why do you use pencils?

It's annoying to sharpen, it erases easily, it doesn't last long,

and more than anything, it isn't clear to read.

The one thing that you're curious and bothered about me is the pencils?

Yes.

There's no particular reason I use them.

I like having to sharpen them, I like being able to erase.

Even if I erase, I can later look at the smudges

and see what I thought or what mistakes I made.

It reminds me what I wouldn't remember.

More than anything, I feel comfortable when I work

because it reminds me that I'm an imperfect human.

I can erase my mistakes and write again.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Me? When? I wasn't looking at you.

You were.

I wasn't!

You definitely were.

Yes. I was, I was!

But I don't know why I was looking.

I just did it and I don't know why. Happy?

You know? Like when you're walking and you look at a tree or a rock?

It's like the same thing.

Then why are you staring at me like that?

What's your reason?

You have sauce on your lip.

What? Sauce?

It's on the other side.

[Golden Egg Restaurant]

You're going to lose your sight.

In my opinion, it'll be one year at most or six months at shortest.

It's progressing right now.

Don't stand there like a totem pole and sit.

Did you pack everything?

Yes.

Oh here, this.

Pajamas?

I don't have the money to buy you real clothes

so wear this when you sleep.

In dramas, rich people wear stuff like this to bed.

Geum Ran.

Yes.

Promise me one thing.

Yes.

From now on, we...

Let's not see each other again.

What?

That's what I want.

Please do that for me.

That's the only way I can live.

Mom.

You and I, let's live like you died in the mountains that day.

Yes! Let's live like that, Geum Ran.

I'll bury you in my heart, you bury me in your heart

and let's live without seeing each other.

Don't think about coming here again.

Don't come here, don't call and just forget about us.

Stand strong and don't even turn your head this way.

I'm not going to try to see you either.

Why do we need to do that?

Why do we need to go that far?

I need to live too.

Because I have my pride too.

Every time I see you, my world will fall apart and burn in flames.

Every time I see you, I'll compare myself to the other parents.

I don't want to live the rest of my life pathetically being tortured like that.

Go live well. Without any problems.

If you live well, I'll be happy with that.

I don't have to see you.

I'll remember you.

Everything, I'll remember everything!

Even if I can't see you with my eyes,

I'll live while seeing you with my heart!

Let's do that, okay? Okay?

The publishing company is in Paju Book City

and it's called Forest of Wisdom, Father-in-law.

Forest of Wisdom? Okay.

Are you really going to go there?

How many times are you going to ask, punk?

I'm really going, man.

I'm really going to go and talk to that father about suing

and while I'm there, I'm going to meet my daughter.

I'm still her parent.

She's my blood, I need to meet her.

That's true.

That's true, Father-in-law.

If you're a man, you should go for it.

Even if you spill blood, break your heart,

or get beaten to a pulp, we must do what we can.

Beaten to a what? You punk!

Oh, no! I pulled out a black one too.

What do I do? I'm so sorry.

Father-in-law, seriously?

Seriously! My precious black hair.

Come on! You should have been careful!

You punk.

Get a hair transplant, man.

You're forty, what is this?

It's expensive!

If I had the money, I would have done it already.

Then at least use some hair powder.

How do I cover this large land with just hair powder?

Then at least wear a wig.

Oh! Wigs!

Father, give me that.

This? Okay. Here.

How is it?

Much better, much!

You look ten years younger!

- Oh, really? - Yeah.

Where's the mirror?

Oh, not bad!

Get one that makes you look younger.

Should I?

I look wild.

What did I say this was, Ji Won?

Atopy.

And why did you get this atopy*? (atopy=allergy with hives symptoms)

Because the walls have lots and lots of mold.

Good, good!

What did I tell you do when people come to see this house?

You said to twist my body around and scratch like crazy.

Okay! You can do it, right?

Let's go. Let's go.

Oh, my!

Come in and look around.

The mother must not be here?

Yes, yes, yes, I'm here!

Oh, you are here. We came to see the house.

Yes, yes. Please come in.

Come in.

Ji Won, come say hello.

Hello.

Oh, yes. You're so pretty.

Are you sick?

No, I just have very bad atopy.

- Atopy? - Yes.

The walls of our house have lots and lots of mold.

There must be a lot of mold?

Well, yes.

It's very old and very humid.

How far along are you?

Almost five months.

It'll be bad for the baby.

Well, come in and take a look around.

- Yes. - Please come this way.

The bedroom, go look inside.

Take your time.

Honey, the toilet is clogged again!

It's overflowing! Please fix it!

It's clogged again?

Why does it get clogged every day?

What kind of toilet spits up more than it takes?

Hurry up and fix it!

Oh, smells like poop!

It happens once a day!

Oh, my goodness.

You're not leaving?

I'm going to sleep over.

What? Here? There's nowhere to sleep.

I'll sleep on the sofa.

Or on the hallway floor.

Why aren't you going home?

I don't want to see her leave.

And while she's leaving, I want her to be comfortable.

That's all I can do as her father.

Excuse me, Editor-in-chief.

Yes.

Aren't you leaving?

I'm going to leave after I finish this.

Ah, yes. Then I'll head out first.

Have a good weekend, I'll see you on Monday.

Okay, yes.

He'll grab me. He'll call me.

He'll say "Excuse me, Team Leader Han, let's have dinner together!" and stop me.

I almost stopped her.

Of all the days not to bring my car.

Is there an umbrella in the office?

What if he misunderstands if I go in again?

It's better to just get wet.

Team Leader Han! Let's go together!

The manuscript?

In my bag.

Let's go.

Give this to Mom.

What's this money?

My severance pay.

Give it to her yourself.

I was going to but I couldn't. Please.

Okay.

I know it sounds ridiculous but take care of my mom, Dae Bum.

Yes.

Mom... my mom...

asked not to see me.

She said not to come or call.

She said she's going to pretend I died in the mountains.

She said she's going to bury me in her heart and not to ever see each other again.

I think my mom is going to abandon me, Dae Bum!

My mom must hate me, Dae Bum!

Mom! My mom!

Said she's never going to see me again!

She said she's never going to see me again!

Mom!

I think the car is here from Pyungchang-dong, I'll put this in the trunk.

Okay.

Take it and eat it.

What is it?

I packed some stuffed cucumbers.

Let me see my daughter's face for the last time.

What are you doing? Lift your head!

Hey, hey! Don't cry!

You're going to go with your face swollen?

I can't even hug you because you might cry!

Let's say goodbye here.

Mom.

Yes!

Don't get sick.

Okay.

Make sure you get glasses.

Okay.

I have no choice!

I'm going to have to go in to send you off!

I'm going in, Geum Ran!

Go.

Okay.

Yes. Welcome.

You said you didn't have much luggage, this is it?

Yes.

Go in and unpack.

Yes.

You're here?

Do you need help unpacking?

No, it's okay.

Okay, go in.

Yes, let's go.

I don't think you're going to wear these clothes again.

How about just throwing them away?

What?

Let's go to the mall tomorrow and get new clothes, shoes, and bags.

Yes.

Just pick what you really need.

Let's throw everything else out.

Yes.

Oh, right! Here are pajamas.

I didn't know your style so I thought long and hard about it.

Let's slowly get to know each other.

Yes. I'll wear it well, Mother.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I want to go to Pyungchang-dong.

Hold on.

[Jung Won]

Yes, Jung Won!

What is Seung Won doing right now?

I'm changing his diaper.

What are you two going to do after you change his diaper?

What? I'm going to make him practice saying "Dad".

At high difficulty. Sparta-style.

I need to make him practice saying "Mom" too.

At high difficulty. Subconsciously.

Excuse me, how is she?

Mother?

Yes.

So so... She cried for a long time.

For a while, by herself.

How is Geum Ran?

I don't know.

I don't know how she feels but she's unpacking.

Okay.

She can get sick so please take good care of her.

Yes.

I know it sounds ridiculous but I trust you.

Yes.

Then goodbye.

This is just the start.

I only just got my own room.

I'm going to get everything back one by one.

I'm going to get everything back.

You wanted to help me?

Then don't ever meet this man again.

So I'm begging you...

Don't ruin my life.

Don't suddenly show up and steal it like this!

Okay!

I won't meet your man ever again.

But you take responsibility for your own life.

Don't ask others to do it.

I'm kindly saying the same words to you.

I'm going to find my life,

I'm going to make sure to find it.

So you protect your life.

Don't ask others to do it.

What's this, Ahjumma?

Your daughter who came today said her mother made it.

Oh, really? I made a new batch too.

It's too much. And the fridge is full.

Then should I eat this, Madam?

How can I do that?

I have to be considerate to the person who made it.

You take what I made and put this on the dinner table.

She sent it for her to eat.

Yes, Madam.

I'll eat what you made.

Oh, you heard?

Take this and eat it.

I'll eat what my mother made.

Is that okay?

Yes.

You make a new batch for me to eat,

I need to quickly eat it while it's still crunchy!

Okay then.

I'll help too.

It's okay. Go upstairs and call your brother, uncle and Jung Won to come eat lunch.

Yes.

Yeah, come in!

Come eat lunch.

Okay.

I can call you "Oppa", right?

Yes, I'm your brother.

Talk comfortably to me too.

Call me Geum Ran.

Yes, I should.

I'm really happy.

About what?

That I have a brother.

When I was younger, I was always jealous of girls who had older brothers.

Now that I have a reliable brother, I feel like I have the whole world.

Really? That makes me happy too.

Come down.

Okay.

What the? Being shy with my own sister?

Seriously. The whole world?

I'm not that reliable.

Okay, I'll come down soon.

Would you like me to use honorifics?

Or lower my speech?

It would be better to use honorifics. Honorifics!

Until we become closer.

I feel like we won't if I use honorifics.

Genealogy comes before friendship.

I feel like I'm getting rejected, Uncle.

It's like you set up a barricade saying don't come closer!

It's not a barricade.

It's because I'm shy.

We'll get closer soon.

Lunch is ready. Come down and eat.

Why are you laughing?

It's less than a day since you've been here

and it seems like you're the owner and I'm the guest.

Why are you laughing?

Because I am the owner and you are the guest.

What?

You really don't get it?

Or are you planning on acting like you don't?

I'm not the one leeching off this family, you are.

I'm not the one squatting here, you are.

You're not the one doing me a favor,

I'm the one doing you a favor.

What?

Why are you giving me permission for anything?

Why are you acting like you're doing me a favor?

Why are you acting like you're putting up with me?

Don't get it wrong!

This is my house and you're not the daughter of this house, I am!

Got it?

If you hated me that much, why didn't you say so from the start?

If you couldn't bear for me to come,

then you should have said no until the very end.

I barely came, with difficult feelings and situations.

What do you want me to do?

You want me to leave?

Stop pretending to be the owner?

I'm just a guest and you're the owner so...

Get out?

Yes! I'm already full of regret!

I should have said no until the very end!

I should have said I'd rather die!

I'm going crazy with regret!

I hate you!

I hate you, I hate living with you in this house,

I won't accept that you're my mom and dad's daughter.

More than anything, I'm scared, hateful and full of goose bumps

about how you abandoned my real mom who raised you for 28 years in one day!

Mom.

We must both be your children to you and Mom.

If she and I were drowning, who would you save first?

How do I look?

I don't look like me, right?

I can't ever leave this house.

The moment I leave this house, I'm acknowledging that I'm not your daughter.

So please don't tell me to leave.

I'm not going to get anything stolen by her!

If you just let me work at the publishing company, I'll work hard.

Please employ me.

If you pass the interview, then I'll employ you.

What?

You and me interview Hwang Geum Ran?

Can you carry my sadness on your back?
