Hello?

[Hello?]

I'm Geum's father.

Hi, father.

Yes, I can talk now. Go ahead.

I wanna see you for moment.

Yeah?

Can you come to Silk Road High then?

Yes, I'll be there now.

Yes, I know.

Yes.

[Coach left late afternoon and hasn't come back yet.]

It's me. How's Mi-Ja?

Her?

She's cleaning up a storm in the kitchen.

She was cleaning the countertop and now the refrigerator.

Dinner? Of course not.

I'll put her on the phone. Hang on.

Sis, it's Man-Seh.

Ask him what it is. It's a hassle to take off the gloves.

Sis wants to know what it is.

I see.

Okay.

He'll be late. He said don't wait for him for dinner.

I see.

Eat if you're hungry. I don't want to.

How can I eat in this mess?

Let's eat when he comes back.

Sis, stop polishing.

You polished the countertop and now you're now wiping the refrigerator clean.

You'll get sick like that.

You've led a good uneventful life so this might be a big worry to you.

But I lived with Soo-Kyung's father 3 more years after I swore I'd rather die.

So I can't take your reacting like that seriously.

Aren't you gonna go home?

How can you say that? I wanted to console you.

You don't have to. I'm not that serious, so go.

Okay. I'll shut up.

Sit.

Yes.

Geum told us, but I wanted to hear from you.

Is it true that you called the wedding off?

Yes. I'm sorry.

I heard you rushed the wedding.

And she agreed on the condition that you pay for her father's hospital bills.

Is it true?

Yes.

Is your mother really the director of Silk Road high?

Yes.

So your mother objected to Geum.

She kicked Geum out the door. Is that true?

I'm sorry.

I asked if it's true.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I'll ask one more thing.

Of all the women, why Geum?

Someone like you with a good background...

could have married a girl with a better background.

Why did you pick her?

I'm sorry.

The first girl I was introduced to was Coach Lee.

She came as a substitute for Soo-Kyung Jin.

So she just happened to be there?

She happened to be the first?

Alright.

Father.

Father? Why am I your father?

You said you'd be home early. Did your work finish late?

What happened to your lips?

It's nothing.

I saw Coach Lee before. Why did she come?

It's not nothing. It looks like you got hit -

Did you?

No, of course not.

I stayed up for shooting and I was just tired.

Why did she come here?

Why are you curious? Aren't you done with her?

That's why I ask.

What business does she have to come here?

You didn't call her and scold her, did you?

Should I not?

Of course not! She's a victim.

I called off her wedding after invitations were sent out!

Did you really?

I called her to discuss the track team. Because their performance is so poor.

Is it true?

How dare you...

Okay.

I'm telling you just in case.

Don't tell her anything about the wedding. Especially don't blame her.

It's all my fault.

I led things this far and I called off the wedding.

It's all my fault without a doubt, so never blame her, okay?

Never.

I got it. Wash up and eat.

Miss, is the soup done?

Yes.

Father, I have a test in a couple of days. Can I go to the practice hall?

No.

Just today and tomorrow.

I couldn't practice enough because of the curfew.

I'll practice till 11 and come home.

Let her. She has a test.

Where are you going?

Bathroom.

Dad, I'm really going to practice.

If you don't trust me, you can give me a ride and wait there.

Dad, I behaved so well lately.

She came home early every day, grandpa.

See?

She read comic books with me every day.

Hyo-Eun, you don't have to say that.

Okay. Until 11 then.

Okay.

Aunt, can I go with you?

No. I'm not going to play.

Let's talk.

What's with your attitude?

Is that how you treat your mother in-law?

I came up because I was so mad I got shaky.

Do you know how hard I'm trying to tolerate -

I'm trying too.

Do you think I am not?

What?

I feel very isolated with no one on my side, but I'm trying.

Even if it won't be enough for you -

Won't you shut up?

How dare you!

How terrible...

After what you've done...

Tae-Il cheated too.

He cheated too.

I didn't want to tell you this much.

But he did. This spring.

That's why he moved to another department.

She was his colleague.

He stayed out one day so I called him early in the morning.

He picked it up in his sleep.

It happened to be a video phone.

He was lying with her on her bed.

I saw it on my phone.

Is it true?

How can I lie about this?

I still have the phone. I still have the image.

Do you wanna see that?

No. Why would I?

Alright. Maybe it happened...

Alright. I was about to brew coffee for your father in-law, so...

Let's talk later.

'Goodness... How could he...'

Do you think that justifies your affair?

Is that why you told me that now?

It's not that.

I told you. I wasn't gonna tell you till the end.

You wouldn't be happy and it hurts my pride too.

Then why did you tell me?

Because you're a woman too.

If you knew the truth I thought you'd understand, if only a little.

I didn't expect forgiveness.

I just expected a little bit of understanding.

I swear it was just a one night's mistake.

I physically betrayed him for a short moment...

but he was in love with her for a few months.

I wasn't in his heart or head for that period of time.

He completely betrayed me both emotionally and physically.

Can't you understand me a little?

At least for tonight?

I can't.

How can I?

I might understand you if you were not my daughter in-law.

But how can I when you're my daughter-in-law who betrayed my son?

Don't be deluded.

Your behavior can't be justified, no matter what.

'Goodness. How could he do that?'

'How could she?'

'How could our family end up in this mess?'

'How on earth...'

Mom, Yoon-Mi had a car accident.

Mom! Yoon-Mi had a car accident!

What? What did you say?

I see. I'll be right there.

Right now.

Yoon-Mi had an accident? Is she injured?

I don't know. He was incoherent.

But her liver was ruptured and she needs surgery.

I have to go.

I'll go too. You can't drive alone.

Get in, Tae-Young. We'll drop you on the street.

Okay.

Don't speed up, father. Mom, you -

Don't worry. I'll make him be careful.

I should go with you.

Call me when you get there. I'm worried.

Okay.

Tae-Il.

What's with that attitude?

Isn't it the same for you? Let's talk.

Sure. I knew you'd say that. We gotta talk.

Come in right now!

What are you doing?

Bastard!

What? I gotta let it go because of Hyo-Eun?

You promised repeatedly when we married.

You'd never bring it up as long as we're together.

That she's your daughter no matter what.

You swore and talked me into marrying you!

Yes. I even lied to my parents to make her my daughter.

And you can't even forgive one night's mistake?

No, I can't.

I married you. It wasn't a deal.

Did I set out to cheat? Did I set out to betray you?

Isn't it a mistake? I was drunk -

I supported your studies abroad for 3 years.

Because I was so grateful.

I was about to promoted to chief, but I resigned and followed you abroad.

Only because I wanted to feed you and serve you for those 3 years -

Don't be so conceited! Isn't it what a married woman does?

So what?

So you think you paid for my raising someone else's child?

How could you...

Is this who you really are?

No. I'm worse than that.

Do you know how much I regret marrying you?

I was insane. Completely.

You weren't even pretty or nice and had a pot belly with another guy's child.

Why did I even lie to my parents to marry you?

I know.

I guess your parents failed in raising with you.

Won't you shut up?

You started. You cheated first too!

Yes. That's right. Still how could you?

After what I did to my parents for you and how I sacrificed my life!

You should've bowed at my feet and poured respect and love for me.

How dare you cheat?

You shouldn't be conceited either. Did I ever ask you to take her in?

Did I ever beg you to marry me?

You made that decision by yourself.

Why are you doing this to me after you got yourself into this?

What?

Did you lie to your parents for me?

Don't be ridiculous.

You were too proud to let others know she was someone else's kid.

You wanted to marry me,

but you were too proud to let others know that I had defects, right?

What? Did I hit a sore spot?

Were you gonna hold that over me forever?

You expected me to love and thank you all my life,

but now that you see I won't, are you regretting now?

Do you wanna undo it if you can?

Shut up!

Sure.

I will let you then.

Let's get a divorce.

What?

Let's get a divorce.

Did you just hit me?

Say it again. Say it again!

Say it again. What?

Let go. Let go! Let go!

How dare you bring up divorce? How dare you?

It's up to me, not to you! How dare you bring it up?

Lay low.

I'll get a divorce when I want to.

Lay low till I make a decision.

I can't turn.

This is why I need ballet but I'm not improving.

Should I take a private lesson?

I don't know...

What, a black out?

The room was empty for once.

Go with me. I was so scared.

Thanks. I was so scared.

Gosh. I'm sorry. What should I do?

What else? Wash it!

Wash it.

What?

You ruined my clothes. You gotta wash it.

I can't.

Jeez... What do you mean you can't? Hurry. I have no time.

I can't hand wash. I never have.

I'll teach you. Come.

I really can't.

You can't wash cosmetic smears with soap.

You gotta dry clean it. Really.

I'm really sorry. Can I pay for the cleaner?

No, no, you can't!

Then... give me private lessons.

For 30 minutes, 3 days a week.

Basic movement and turns for a month. Okay?

Are you nuts? I don't have that much time.

Do you know how much kids pay for my lesson?

Alright. Then go wash it.

I see the stain on my pants, too.

Then...

Fine, fine! I'll give you a lesson!

For free. For a month.

Alright. For free for a month.

5pm before class on Mon, Wed, and Fri.

Be on time. My audition isn't far.

See you tomorrow.

I saved the lesson fee.

That loach soup is frozen, so just tell her to melt it.

When did you make it?

She won't have energy to cook because of Geum.

Here. Be back soon.

Ok.

Honey, only a few months left for you.

I'll do deliveries once I get a license.

I was wondering when you were gonna say that.

You know once I put my mind to something, I finish it.

Alright, alright. Go ahead.

I'll burn all my fingers.

Alright. I'll tell you again. Keep them clean till then.

Okay. Bye.

Okay.

Bye!

He looks down on me.

I have to pass it to rub it in his face.

Maximum legal speed on a two lane one way street is 80mph.

Mph? What's that mean?

They should make it comprehensible.

One way and maximum legal speed? How do I know?

I gotta pass this test.

Ok, I'll skip this. Next.

When the road surface is frozen...

Father.

You're late.

Yeah.

You come home at random hours lately. Did another month pass?

Yes.

I've been rounding dermatology since last week.

Father, did you calm down now?

You should calm down first.

Sis came this afternoon and mom told her to get a room and leave home.

Did she?

Yes, she must be really mad.

Did you wash already? I'll prepare dinner.

Sit.

Why? You didn't have dinner yet.

I don't have an appetite. Sit down.

I have something to tell you.

What? Don't even bring up Geum.

Sit first.

I heard she came this afternoon.

I told you not to.

I'm as mad as you. Or why would I have told her -

It's to upstage me so that I wouldn't get angrier.

Do you think I don't know that?

Don't say anything.

I don't wanna hear anyone.

I met Kyung-Woo. Just now.

Like you said, I had to hear everything from him.

What Hwang said is true.

But his mother really is the director of Geum's school.

It's also true that Geum was poorly treated.

And his mother objected the marriage.

She didn't set out to lie about it. She just couldn't bring herself to tell us...

I'll prepare dinner.

I'm not done yet -

It's no use whatever you say. I won't forgive her no matter what.

Why do you ask me to endure and forgive everything?

Why do kids deceive and betray their parents and repeat the same mistake?

And why do parents have to forgive them every time?

I don't want to any more.

She doesn't think of me as her mother and treats me with no respect,

so I'll do the same.

So don't even tell me to forgive or understand her.

I know. I hate her too.

How can she be so immature and inconsiderate?

I'd want to whip her if she was younger. That's how I'm mad, but -

Good then. Nothing more to talk about.

Honey.

Honey, you're just tormenting yourself. You pain yourself more.

Don't. It's not that. I'm not tormented or in pain.

Then why do you look so terrible? Look in the mirror.

See how it's deteriorated overnight.

What about my face? It's alright. My face is just fine.

That's how parents are.

That's what parents are supposed to do.

They say you have to worry about kids all the time.

However bad the kid is, parents can't eat or sleep after they kick him out.

That's why I won't do it! I'm sick and tired of it.

I won't love her any more!

That's how love is.

That's why the one with bigger love is always on the weak side.

Will you keep frustrating me by being so righteous?

Then I'll hate you too.

I won't this time. I can't and won't forgive her this time.

Do you think I'm not human? I am. Parents are human too.

Alright. I'm sorry. Okay, don't forgive her.

But let her in.

Honey.

However you object, I can't let you.

She's a girl, not a boy. I can't let her stay out.

I'll bring her home tomorrow, okay?

What?

It was personal?

Miss! Please show her the door.

Hey.

What were you thinking of? You didn't even notice me.

This is it, right?

What's so important that you can't skip a day?

Nutrition pill.

What?

You know I take good care of myself.

I remembered since you came to see me. Thanks.

Aren't you hungry? Let's order first.

I'll treat you well today.

Excuse me!

Are you alright?

That was a stupid question. Of course you are not.

But eat something. You're only drinking and not eating.

Thanks, cousin.

We're not blood related, but I have only you.

Don't drink if you're gonna say such crap.

Alright. Sorry. I'll withdraw it.

I'm just upset.

I went to mom this afternoon and she told me to leave home.

She wants me to get a room and be independent.

Aunt said that?

Yeah.

Isn't she too harsh?

I know I did wrong, but how can she kick me out?

Would she say that if I were her birthdaughter?

She was just mad.

Moms lose their judgment when they're mad.

I know. But...

But knowing it doesn't make it any better.

It really hurt today.

I can't forget it.

Drink.

Cousin. Why doesn't anything go right for me?

My wedding was called off twice and I'm about to lose a job.

I'm about to be fired.

What do you mean?

The director told me to quit.

But don't worry. I won't relent.

Drink. Let's go to karaoke.

Geum. Get up.

Geum.

Get up. You're drunk. I'll take you to school.

Get up.

Here comes a taxi. Let's hop in.

Sir, hold on.

Take us to Ka-Yang Dong.

No, go to Kae-Hwa Dong.

I'll go home. Why would I sleep at the dormitory?

I'll go home. Let's go to Kae-Hwa Dong.

Yes, Kae-Hwa Dong then.

Okay.

Why don't you ring the bell?

Just a sec.

I'll just go.

You came this far.

I think they're sleeping. It's too late.

I drank a lot too.

You know...

At times like this, I hate that I'm not her birthdaughter.

I know. That she didn't say that because I'm not her birthdaughter.

I know I deserve it this time.

Still when mom is mad and says such things, I can't help thinking that.

Would she say that if I were her birthdaughter?

Would she hurt me like that if I were?

I hate it.

That I get to think of what birthdaughters wouldn't think.

I think moms don't know. That they can hurt us.

They think it's only them that get hurt.

They do, right?

Go in. Thanks for the dinner.

She'll calm down soon. It won't last long. You know that, right?

It's no use talking to me. I gotta do what they tell me to.

They said you were fired and told me to remove your stuff.

It's not decided yet. It's true.

You drank? How could you...

Give me the key.

Where can I go this late? Where?

So frustrating. It's no use talking to me.

Call the principal and get his permission!

Mr. Park! Mr. Park!

It's no use! I have to sleep. Go!

Open. Open!

Isn't it unfair? What did I do to deserve this?

What did I do to deserve this?

It's unfair. So unfair.

He was the one who suggested marriage.

My father was about to become homeless so how could I refuse?

He said he'd pay for anything. How could I refuse?

But I was sincere.

I was gonna try hard once I got married.

I didn't just let him kiss me.

I was fluttered. I was excited.

I was... I was really sincere.

What did I do so wrong?

She looks ill. Miss?

Miss? Wake up.

You gotta go home. You can't be sick here.

Miss?

Yes.

Go home. Ok?

Tae-Il.

Hey.
