Episode 42

- Go in. Go in. - Jeez...

You idiot.

Jeez. What's wrong with you? Stop it.

Do you even know why I'm hitting you?

Because I'm dating Tae-Young, right?

Yes. That deserves a beating too, but...

I didn't know she was Tae-Il's sister.

We go to the same academy and got close. I found out she was his sister later.

We were both shocked, too.

Who said it matters? Do you know what you did to father?

What do you mean? What did I do?

I heard you told him you didn't wanna live like him.

That you won't live a life with no challenge, no ambition or no recognition.

How do you know? Did he tell you?

How could you say that to him? Don't you know how pained he felt to hear it?

- I didn't mean it... - Then what? What?

Yes. He has been too much of goodie two shoes...

You know he's stubborn. Too sensitive, too.

What?

It's a guy thing, you wouldn't know!

What a bastard you are. How...

I just blurted it out. He didn't try one bit to understand me.

Why does he have to? Why couldn't you understand him?

He toiled to get you through medical school.

What father would understand a son...

...who throws all that away to do something else?

Come on. Honestly, you're not qualified to say that to me.

Didn't you do as you pleased?

It was just once for me...

...but you did whatever you wanted to since college. Do you need a list?

You... You... You're really a jerk.

You jerk. He was crying.

Do you know I've never seen him crying before?

This was the first. He was crying while drinking alone...

Let's stop.

You have a conversation with someone who's qualified and prepared.

Otherwise it's all gibberish.

What we said was all gibberish. You're a real jerk. Got that?

What else is there in life? Why hold back your appetite?

I'll eat even if I get fat.

Have some if you want to.

I don't.

Why is it so stinky?

What's the matter? We eat it every day.

You...

Eat.

You're pregnant, aren't you?

- Close the container first. - Alright.

Yes. Keep it to yourself.

Goodness... It certainly was a pregnancy dream.

Sit. Sit now!

Come on!

How far along?

4 months.

I found out not too long ago.

Don't tell anyone yet.

Your belly will show it soon. Why hide it?

- It's Tae-Il's, right? - Of course!

Does he know?

No. I found out recently too.

Will you keep it?

Yeah.

I got my ultrasound today. Wanna see?

Aunt.

I can't help but sigh. How are you gonna raise 2 kids by yourself?

You know I'm capable.

Stop babbling. Has the news traumatized you?

How can I give up a 4 month old baby?

Aunt. I'm already losing sleep over it without you looking at me like that.

But...

But what?

When I looked at the ultrasound with heavy heart...

...I felt like he grinned at me.

Saying 'hi, mom. I'm here.'

Hey!

You know I struggled with heavy bags, running around to avoid patrols.

I shook on the cold street selling rice rolls last month.

Physical hardship aside...

...I had a divorce, got laid off and had problem with Hyo-Eun.

I haven't had a day of peace since he was conceived.

But he was strong enough to hang on to me and say hello.

Aunt. If I get strong enough to hang on like him...

...I'll be able to raise him well, right?

Be happy for me.

Stop seeing him.

Marriage doesn't involve just you two.

We don't want you to marry him and live with such a woman.

Sleep.

I told Geum. Now relax and sleep.

What did you tell her? Did you tell her that?

I didn't say anything specific.

I just said we don't want her to marry into such a family. I asked her to give up.

Don't tell her. I don't want her to know.

Sure. No good will come of it.

If she finds out, he will too and it will hurt them.

Yeah. So sleep.

Let's eat.

- Huh? - Who is it?

I'll get it.

- It's done. Eat. - Yes, let's eat.

- Thank you for the meal. - Enjoy.

This tofu stew is good.

- Eat a lot, father. - Okay.

Hyo-Eun, you try some too.

It's very good.

Uncle. Mr. Kyung-Woo Ko is here.

Huh?

Hello, grandpa, grandma, father, mother.

I'm sorry I didn't call you.

I came to eat breakfast. Please.

I heard mother likes flower pots.

What the hell are you doing?

I didn't know.

Mother. I decided to come.

Wait. You look familiar...

Yes, ma'am. He's the one who called off the wedding before.

I'm sorry. I have no excuse.

I would've come sooner, but I committed too big of mistake to be forgiven.

Then you are dating her again?

Yes. I came to my senses and begged her to forgive me, and came to this far.

I see...

Geum. What's happening?

So was it him who you wanted to marry?

Was it?

Yes. It's him.

Mother. Please.

Look.

Mi-Ja. You shouldn't turn away someone who comes during mealtime.

Yeah. You shouldn't starve him. Right, Man-Seh?

Yes.

Geum, bring rice and soup.

Yes, father.

Yes, father. Thank you, grandma, grandpa, aunt.

Yeah. Sit here.

Yes.

You're ear to ear.

How is he?

I've seen him before.

Put a lot.

Sure. You want a bucketful?

So you wanna marry her again?

Yes.

Thank you.

Then why did you pull out last time?

I'm so sorry.

As long as you know.

Stop interrogating. Let's eat.

- Yes. - Eat.

Thank you for the meal.

- Yes. - Eat a lot.

So you're a program director?

Yes, grandma.

Mom. Don't ask him. He's not gonna marry her.

Huh?

He certainly isn't. So don't misunderstand and just eat.

Eat.

My father and mother are treating you, so leave after you're done.

Yes.

Alright. I don't know the story, but she seems to be very upset, so leave after breakfast.

...so leave after breakfast.

- Yes, grandpa. - Good.

What happened?

I couldn't just sit and wait.

I was encouraged because you told me he softened.

Was it wrong?

No.

You didn't eat well, did you?

I did. I'm just thankful they didn't kick me out.

I'm so happy. To see you unexpectedly like this.

I have to go to a meeting.

I didn't say anything... Go.

Bye. Go in. It's cold. Go in.

Go.

I knew you were sly. But you should've told me they were dating again.

Why are you so disapproving? You're just pretending, right?

To straighten him up after what he did.

Mom.

Come to the room.

Are you ignoring what we said?

You should listen after father reasoned with you like that.

I didn't ask him to come.

Ok. Let's leave it at that.

So are you gonna obey us or not? Tell us.

I can't. I can't break up with him.

After you told me last night, I thought about it all night.

I really don't understand.

You asked me to give up this once, but where would I meet a guy like him?

What man would accept a woman with as many problems as me?

Why won't you admit it?

I can't have kids.

You said it well.

How dare you think of marrying someone?

Whose life are you gonna ruin?

Mom.

You said you love him. Then you should do this for him. Why are you so selfish?

We disapprove, and his mother disapproves.

He's out of his mind now, but do you think his love will last forever?

He'll regret it once he comes to his senses. Why won't you admit it?

I didn't want to go this far, but honestly, you shouldn't marry.

- Honey. - Mom.

Like you said, if Ki brought home a woman like you...

...I'd disapprove more than Kyung-Woo's mom did.

She's right. What mother would want a daughter in-law like you?

I'm disapproving because of my conscience...

...so why won't you listen to me?

Were you always this selfish?

You don't care what happens to others' lives?

Mom.

I'm saying it again. You shouldn't marry anyone.

Live with us all your life.

You took care of your sick father for 10 years.

Don't you know how painful it is to have a sick family member?

Honey!

I'm saying this because she won't listen.

She's my daughter, but I have to tell her as it is.

It's easy to say it's ok being childless, but how can it?

What's a marriage without kids?

After the passion cools down, they live for kids, right?

How can she be so selfish?

Won't you stop? Enough.

'He said he'd remarry. He has a date today.'

Yes, chief. This is Hwang Lee.

We have our first editing meeting.

It's with the main office's education team, so come by 2pm.

I see. I'll be on time.

Stop by the book store and research the market by 2... I gotta hurry.

'Wife'

Hey.

It's me. Can you talk?

I'm going to the main office today. Can we meet?

I have something to give you, too.

What is it?

You don't have to...

Just for a moment. I have something to tell you, too.

All right. What time?

It's ok. See you then.

'Hwang Lee'

'Saved'

Your sweater and favorite shirt. I thought you'd look for them.

Thanks.

Is everything ok? Is Hyo-Eun well?

Yes, she is. She got a lot better since she's with everyone in my family.

She's lost interest in ballet and is into piano these days.

What was it that you wanted to say?

Um... Thank you.

I met the head of the education team. He offered me a job.

I heard you recommended me.

That's all I did. It's not even a regular job.

Still... I've wanted to do children's books for a while.

I'll work hard in gratitude. Thanks.

Sure.

So that's it?

Yeah. And the clothes too.

I heard you had a date.

Yeah. How did you know?

Jung-Yoon Cha told me.

I was surprised. You hate blind dates.

How was it? Did you like it?

Yeah, I did. I think I met a good woman.

I have to see...

...but I was surprised. I didn't believe I could like someone I met on a blind date.

She must be really good.

Yes. I'm gonna take her seriously.

So... Let's not call each other unless something comes up.

Sure. I had to give your clothes and thank you today.

Okay.

Let's go. I have a meeting soon.

Sure.

I wish you the best. Call me if you have good news.

- Bye. - Okay, bye.

Why did you do that?

Why were you so cruel to her?

Because she won't listen.

There you go again.

You know this will hurt you more. Why say something like that?

Don't you know hurting her will cause you more pain?

Don't do that again.

I know you didn't mean it but if you repeat it, I might get disgusted too. Ok?

Sometimes words can hurt more than a blow.

You know they leave a more lasting pain.

You know mom just said that to make you give up, right?

So don't dwell on it. She never meant it.

Okay.

Geum.

What hurts me the most is that everything she said is right.

I don't think mom loves me though.

However much she wanted me to give up, she shouldn't have said that to me.

This?

Wait.

Its' me.

I got a new phone.

This is my new number. Where are you?

My office. I'm looking at a cue sheet.

People?

Yes, there are of course.

That's good. Then sing a song to me.

Yeah, a song.

To celebrate my new phone.

Come on. I'm at work.

So what? I wanna hear it.

Are you drunk?

Why?

Do I need a reason?

Couldn't you do it for me even if it embarrasses you?

You can't even do that for me? Is that how much you love me?

Jeez... this is a bad habit.

You shouldn't test people like that.

Love is not something you test, but something you're sure of.

Hello?

Hello?

I'm listening.

Alright. My wife wants it, so the hell with the office.

Fine. Any requests?

Anything?

Here it goes.

You were approaching me.

I felt like I'd never be able to...

Hey. The director called. Follow me.

Okay.

Did you hear it? I'm sorry.

I'll be back soon and sing again.

Hello? Are you mad?

No. I'm not.

I'm not.

Really.

Yes. Go to his office.

Love is not something you test, but something you're sure of?

'You're a real jerk. Father was crying.'

Ki Lee! What are you doing? Focus!

I'm sorry.

Pay attention. One more time!

Do you want me to live my life like you?

Back and forth between home and school.

Do you want me to live a stuffy life that's secure...

...but presents no challenge or excitement?

I don't wanna live like you.

I wanna feel alive even if it's risky.

I wanna live a passionate and recognized life!

Ki!

Hey.

Why so gloomy?

Did Hwang scold you for dating me?

No.

Ki. If you sway because of Hwang, I'll be really disappointed in you.

It won't happen.

But...

Tae-Young.

Is it hard for you to understand too that I wanna be an actor?

Do you want me to be a doctor, too?

If... If I say I don't, will you go back to the hospital?

No.

Then why do you keep asking?

Don't be swayed.

I have faith in you. So have faith in yourself.

I have faith in you.

Thanks.

It's cold. Let's hurry.

Okay.

Hey. You left this.

Why steak all of a sudden? You don't even like steak.

Why do you keep glancing? Did you do something wrong?

No. It's not that...

Don't look. Hide yourself with the menu.

What the hell is this?

I overheard Tae-Il on the phone.

I was very curious about the girl he likes. So...

What are you thinking? What if we get caught?

Tae-Il aside, what would she think of us?

It's fine as long as we don't get caught.

- What do you think? - I like it.

See? You were curious too.

Honey. Don't. Hold it up.

How is she? Pretty, huh?

Yeah. Calm and elegant.

I see why he likes her.

Well, don't mind us. We'll leave soon.

I'm sorry. We'll order next time.

Ok.

So shameless. We drank a lot of water already.

What can I do? We can't eat like this.

I wanna ask something.

Okay.

You knew I was divorced. What made you meet me?

Can I be honest with you?

Yes.

Mom told me she'd help me out with a new car only if I went on a date.

So I was just gonna go on one date.

But it seems it didn't turn out that way.

Do you know you make me feel happier?

Do I?

What?

Nothing.

Nothing.

I'll start the research.

- Ok. Work on it. - No problem.

Ok. Hello?

This is Geum's father.

Hi, father. This is Kyung-Woo.

Are you with Geum now?

No?

Then did she call you? She left her phone.

Yeah? Then give me...

No, instead, do you have time this evening?

Then let's meet with her.

Call her and come with her.

Ok, father.

Yes... Yes, I know.

I'll see you later.

Geum. Where are you?

I'll be back.

Where are you going?

To meet someone. I might be late. Don't wait up.

Geum didn't call, did she?

No.

Bye.

Hurry. Hwang's treat.

Do you have good news?

I'll tell you. Sit.

- Okay. - Come, Hyo-Eun.

Wow, sweet and sour pork!

I'm not too crazy about it.

You used to like Chinese food.

Just wait till you age. You won't be able to digest greasy food.

What good news? Tell us.

Well, two things.

First, I got a temporary publishing job.

- That's great. - Great news.

- That's good. - Yes, it is.

Thank you. Thanks.

- And second is... - Yes?

I'm pregnant.

Huh?

What?

I'm pregnant. I'm 4 months. I recently found out on accident.

Why are you all quiet? Are you too shocked?

When... oh, you said you knew recently.

Of course we're shocked. In your situation...

Does Tae-Il know?

I haven't told him yet.

Are you gonna keep it?

Yes, of course. That's why I told you.

Jeez. You're not gonna congratulate me?

Hyo-Eun. You don't want me to have a baby either?

Don't you wanna have a sibling?

Yes, I do.

Yeah? Then congratulate me. I want someone to but no one will.

Congratulations, mom.

Cheers.

Ok. Thank you. Cheers.

Sis, congratulations.

Thanks, Soo-Kyung.

Same here.

Yeah. They say everything will work out. It's good news.

Thank you.

Congrats sis.

Mom.

Congratulations.

Let's talk again with father.

Let's all congratulate her together.

- Congrats. - Congratulations.

- Congratulations mom! - Thank you.

Help yourself.

Mom. Can I tell dad that I'll have a sibling?

Hyo-Eun. I told you dad went to the US to study.

Then call him in the US. He needs to know.

It's night over there. Eat first. What do you want? Pork?

Yeah, eat.

What is he gonna tell us both? Any idea?

None at all.

But it doesn't seem bad.

Let's not get nervous.

Hey.

Sit.

I heard you got a new phone. You should've called me first.

Do you wanna eat first? It's a bit early, do you mind?

No.

I'll order then.

Yes, father.

Kyung-Woo.

Yes.

Do you remember I went to see you the first time you wanted to marry Geum?

Of course I do, father.

Yes. I liked you a lot then.

That's why I was more disappointed and angrier later.

I'm sorry.

No, that's not my point.

I mean I like you and, and thank you.

Geum is sick and unable to bear children but you still want to marry her.

How can I not like you?

I'm forever grateful.

Geum. Kyung-Woo.

Now listen to me carefully and decide for yourself.

You're mature adults now...

...so any decision you make after listening to me, I'll respect.

Father.

I'll start.

Your mothers are high school classmates.

They were best friends. So close they even used to switch their diaries.

But a problem arose when they both fell for one guy.

I only know Geum's mother's side of story...

...so it might be different from your mother's side.

The guy dated Kyung-Woo's mother after Geum's mother broke up with him.

Geum's mother found that out when she was 5, 6 months pregnant.

Yeah. Your mom was pregnant with his child.

He left, but she was gonna keep the baby.

But after she found out that her ex was dating her best friend...

...she was devastated and unfortunately miscarried the next day.

Then...

Yeah, she lost the baby.

Since then she couldn't have children any more.

Of course Kyung-Woo's mother was shocked ...

...to find out about her friend's pregnancy and miscarriage...

...so she broke up with him and went abroad.

But Geum's mother still thinks her friend kept meeting him...

...even after learning about the pregnancy.

So her resentment runs very deep.

This is the sad story between your mothers.

I don't know the truth, but what matters is that Geum's mother's pain is very deep.

Your mother wanted you two to remain unaware of this.

She didn't want others to know her past and thinks knowing will only hurt you.

She was cruel to you because she couldn't bear to say this.

I'm sorry.

Really.

But I thought you should know.

Like I said, I'll respect whatever decision you make.

I'll go.

'Mom'

That bastard... Now he even hangs up on me?

'Your call has been transferred...'

Thank you.

Bye.

Yeah. I'll call you.
