(Episode 13)

There may not be another time.

(Welcome to the Firework Festival)

- Let's go. - Are we going to see the fireworks?

Jung Won.

Ms. Jung.

Mr. Cha, are you all right?

Hold on. I'll get the doctor.

Jin Soo, the fireworks were great, weren't they?

Yes! It was so much fun!

It was great.

- Amazing! - Seeing them in person was better.

Let's come again. I liked it.

- Let's come next year again. Okay? - We should.

- I'm in. - Sure.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Thank you.

Are you okay, Mr. Cha?

I was so surprised.

You must've been startled.

I'm okay.

What a relief.

Jung Won, I thought you had to go somewhere.

Yes, I did.

It sounded like it was something important.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

You should go now. I'm okay.

But how can I leave you alone here?

I can call someone else to come. You should go.

I'm really okay.

But you're in such a bad condition.

Don't make me feel more sorry for what happened. You should go.

Mr. Cha.

How do you feel? Did you break a bone or something?

My gosh, stop it. Are you okay, Mr. Cha?

I'm okay. I didn't get seriously injured.

You came at just the right timing.

(Welcome to the Firework Festival)

It was incredible.

- Was it fun? - Yes.

Hae Sung!

I was worried that you might've left already.

I'm glad you're still here.

Did anything happen to you?

Yes, something happened.

As I was about to depart from the restaurant,

Mr. Cha got into a car accident.

He could've gotten badly injured.

How is Mr. Cha? Is he okay?

Yes.

Thankfully, he didn't get seriously injured.

I was so surprised.

I'm sorry I couldn't come on time. I was on my way to the hospital.

No, it's okay.

There's nothing you could've done about the situation.

What a shame.

I really thought I'd get to see the fireworks this year.

How were the fireworks? Were they pretty?

I bet they were pretty.

Yes, they were beautiful.

It would've been nice if I got to see them too.

Hae Sung.

You're making me feel sorry by making that face.

What? What do you mean? I'm really fine.

I'm so sorry.

Let's make sure to see the festival next year no matter what.

Let's just bring a tent here next year. That would be better.

You didn't eat anything yet, did you? I brought a lunch box.

Hae Sung, can you spread the mat on the grass?

Here.

Where did she go?

I hope you feel better with this.

I'm a human firecracker.

My gosh.

Hey, that's enough.

I guess you still have a weakness for the crab dance.

I guess so.

Let's eat. They look delicious.

I'm so hungry.

Eat up.

Does it taste okay?

You should go now.

Okay, bye.

- See you. - Okay, bye.

(Alarm)

My gosh, I must be crazy.

It was my dream, so no one could've seen what happened, right?

(Taesan Hospital)

The person who killed me was at this hospital.

(Health Examination Center)

My chest doesn't hurt anymore.

I can't feel anything at the department store either.

Please put the wine in the car.

Yes, sir.

It's starting to hurt again.

I must find who it is this time.

What in the world...

Excuse me.

What is it?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Where did that person go?

Who is it?

Why does this person keep calling me?

Hello.

This is Min Joon's aunt.

Hello?

Hi. I don't have anything to say to you. I'm hanging up.

A police officer paid me a visit.

A police officer?

A police officer visited me...

at my husband's funeral.

Why?

Had you come to his funeral,

you would've seen him yourself.

Is that why you called me?

What did the police officer say?

He asked me questions because he was curious about...

the car accident in front of the school.

The car accident took place 12 years ago.

Why is he bringing it up now?

I didn't say a thing. Don't worry.

Do you need money? Is that it?

Come to the office at the department store next week.

Forget that. I came here because I had to ask you something.

12 years ago,

why did my husband accept such a ridiculous offer?

It wasn't just about money.

What did you tell my husband at that time?

I'm warning you.

You'd better watch your mouth and behave yourself.

This is the photo your uncle had in the frame. He looked at it often.

I remember this photo, Aunt.

I will treasure this.

Okay.

You're not hurt badly, are you?

No.

You're moving to Australia?

I have a sister there. She asked me to come.

Anyway, Min Joon.

Don't get sick, and live well.

Aunt, stay healthy too.

You too.

You were left all alone after you lost your mom when you were 10.

But your dad said he had his own family...

and didn't even bother to take care of you.

If he wanted to call himself a dad, he shouldn't have done that to you.

Don't cry, Aunt.

That doesn't bother me at all.

I'm sorry, Min Joon. I'm so sorry.

This is why the water was leaking.

(Jung Won, I fixed...)

Jung Won, I fixed the leak.

Using the basin won't be a problem now. Use it well.

Mr. Ahn.

Is this the house of your girlfriend who went to the festival with you?

- Yes. - They should've cleaned it.

They completely trashed the house.

Goodness, I have to clean it before I show it to others.

What? What's wrong with him?

Hey, what's gotten into you?

I have to clean it. Oh, my goodness.

Hey, you.

You are the cousin of the tenant, aren't you?

Hello.

Looking at your face makes me angry again.

Sorry?

Am I a joke to you?

She got paid, but because she paid back her debts,

she can't pay me the rent?

She's scared of the loan sharks, but not me. Isn't that right?

I'm sorry. We'll pay you the rent as soon as possible.

I'm glad I ran into you. Open the door now.

I'm going to move all of her things out today.

- Oh, my! - Gosh.

Thank you.

Are you his dad?

No, I'm his relative.

I see. You are so strong.

I get that a lot.

I see.

But you're going to kick her out?

Since you stopped me from falling today,

I will get going.

I will clean the house later.

See you.

Should I have given her this at least?

Oh, no. That's all right, Mr. Ahn.

Goodness, this is so good.

- Mr. Ahn. - What?

I'm not sure if I could ask you this.

Come on. It's between us.

Ask me anything.

How did you make money?

You paid for all of your son's hospital fee.

I want to make money, so I can be of help to my siblings and friends,

but I'm frustrated since I can't do anything without any identification.

Hae Sung, since you know my son is 80 years ago,

you probably calculated my age.

I was born in 1910, the Year of Dog.

You were born in 1910, the Year of Dog?

Yes, that's right. I was born in 1910, the Year of Dog.

I see.

Then you were born in the year when Korea...

lost its sovereignty to Japan?

That's right. It was when Japanese annexation of Korea took place.

March 1 Independence Movement, Independence Day,

and the Korean War. I've seen and experienced them all.

Gosh.

What do you think my job was when I was alive?

Your job?

Well, I don't know. I can't even guess.

I was the ginseng digger.

You were a ginseng digger?

In Goesan, Chungbuk, I dug ginseng...

and lived happily with my parents, wife, and son.

I was living a decent life, but one day,

I found the biggest ginseng.

It was an aged, wild ginseng. It was as big as this.

But I came to Seoul without digging it out...

or telling anyone about my discovery.

I came to Seoul to look for a rich customer who would buy that ginseng.

I see. So you sold the ginseng and became rich.

I was crossing Han River, and the boat flipped over.

I drowned to death.

I'm sorry.

It'd have been better if I had dug it up and given it to my wife.

But I just died.

The effect of wild ginseng is truly endless.

- That's right. - The moment you eat it...

What is this?

When I came to this world, I wondered if it'd still be there.

- So I went to that mountain. - I've never seen this.

The wild ginseng grew during those years and became a huge ginseng.

Isn't that amazing?

So that's how I ended up with a lot of money.

Goodness. This truly is incredible.

With the money I got from the ginseng, I paid the hospital feel...

and for his funeral. I think I've done everything I could.

Hae Sung, it's not much, but I have some money left.

I'd like to give you the money.

What?

No, Mr. Ahn. It's okay. I mean it.

I can't accept it.

No, don't turn it down. I don't need the money.

(Storage Locker)

Attention.

Mr. Cha isn't here today, so try to really stay focused.

Do a good job, okay?

- Yes, chef! - Yes, chef!

Jung Won, there are two men who are here to see you.

They look scary.

Soon Ji, tell them that you haven't seen me today.

They said you don't have to escape through the window.

They told me to tell you that you can just use the door.

I've already paid them the interest.

Your shirt looks so dowdy.

I think it looks so cool.

Why are you guys here again?

I've paid off all the overdue interest.

That's why we're here.

We...

calculated the principal and the interest you've paid us so far,

and you don't owe us anything anymore.

Here's your promissory note.

Pardon me? I've paid you guys off?

Are you sure?

Goodness. Do you have trust issues or what?

Why don't you believe me?

Promissory notes must be ripped when debt is cleared. Like this.

Okay, just rip it!

I'll chuck it in the trash.

All right. We don't have to see each other again, right?

Thanks for paying us off.

Let's go.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

I've cleared my debt!

I'm free of debt now!

I'm completely debt-free!

I should tell Hae Sung.

He can't pick up the phone.

I'm dying to brag about it.

How did it go?

As you told us, we told her that she's paid us off...

and gave her the promissory note. She ripped it like this. Here.

She ripped it into pieces.

I cleared her debt in cash.

Yes, of course.

You paid the principal as well as all the interest.

We've already deleted her name from our books.

You may leave now.

Run!

Thank you, Mr. Ahn.

She got into debt from paying your grandmother's hospital bills.

I feel like I got to partially repay you for your kindness.

Gosh, you don't need to repay me for anything.

Don't say that.

Thank you.

Perfect timing. This is so nice.

What do you mean?

I just stopped by because I was in the area.

Hae Sung, I've cleared my debt!

Are you serious? That is great.

Hey, "great" isn't enough to describe it.

It's so amazing and fantastic.

Are you that happy?

Of course.

The principal didn't even seem to go down for years,

while the interest kept accumulating.

I used to feel suffocated by just thinking about it.

It feels as if a decade-old grudge has vanished.

This means that I can pay my rent on time now.

Right. It's such amazing, fantastic news.

You know what?

I feel like good things have been happening to me since you came back.

Thanks, Hae Sung.

Gosh, I'm so happy!

Gosh.

Hey, Jung Won.

Jung Won.

Jung Won, what's wrong? Does it hurt a lot?

Hey, I found a 50-cent coin.

Look at this, Hae Sung.

Things have been going so well for me since you came back.

I found 50 cents.

Gosh, it hurts.

I've been really wanting to watch this movie.

I heard it's very fun and scary at the same time.

I've been told to never watch it alone.

Gosh, yes. It looks very scary.

Right?

Shall we eat popcorn too?

Sure.

Just a second.

Hey, Jin Joo.

Hey, Jung Won. Are you done with work?

Well, it's...

Oh, are you still at the restaurant?

Yes, it looks like I'll have to work late today. What is it?

Ho Bang said that he's been wanting to eat pork belly by the Han River.

In this heat!

Anyway, Tae Hoon and Moon Sik are coming too.

We'll probably hang out all night, so you should join us later.

I don't think I'll be able to join you guys today.

I have no idea what time I'll be done.

That's too bad.

By the way, I have no way of getting a hold of Hae Sung.

If you talk to him, tell him that we're hanging out tonight.

All right, I will.

Have fun.

Okay. Don't work too hard.

My gosh, I'm so sorry.

My shopping cart was here. My shopping cart...

I mean, Ho Bang... Gosh, I'm really sorry.

I'll put them back quickly. My goodness.

I apologize.

Where did Ho Bang go?

You need to see an ID?

Yes, we have to check your ID as it's an R-rated movie.

He's really not underage.

He just forgot to bring his ID.

I'm sorry. We can't let you in without confirming your age.

What should we do?

Okay, thank you.

It's fine. Let's just go home and watch something else.

Let's pick up beer and popcorn on the way.

We should buy stinky squid too.

All right, let's do that.

Let's go.

Isn't Tae Hoon the vice president of the department store?

How can he say he'd come right away?

Shouldn't he be busy? Why is he not busy?

He should turn his phone off and focus on work.

And what's wrong with Moon Sik? The heat wave is in full swing.

Shouldn't he be busy fixing broken air conditioners?

Why don't they take hints?

It's so obvious that the two of us want to be alone...

Hey!

Are we kids going on a picnic? Put all of them back.

What's all this? Who put all of these here?

You did it.

I like chips.

Did he just smile?

My blood is boiling.

Come on. Hurry up.

Okay.

Here.

Shall we turn the light off so that it feels like a theater?

Shall we do that?

It's starting!

Is it gone?

Yes.

Why did you do that?

Why did you even want to watch this? You can't watch half of the movie.

It's fun.

Is it gone now?

Yes.

I don't believe you.

Wait, we should just mute the sound.

Hey, what is this?

That's much better.

The lights are off.

- Who is it? - Jung Won must still be at work.

She'll probably join us after work.

Hey, the guys are here.

Hey.
