So why do you make me say these things?

There wouldn't be this situation if you had stopped seeing him.

But your aunt is the one who gave birth to you and left you with your mom then left for America.

and so your mom now raised you.

Aunt, how can you be this way, how can you say that?

Because you needed to know the reason why I can't accept her into the family

that even though Seoyoung isn't the right one , Misoo won't ever be.

But this isn't the way.

Is this true?

Afraid I'll lie?

I saw it with my own two eyes.

You being 1 month old and at your current house.

and Shinja left you with your current mom and never came back.

After all I've told you, you'll stop seeing him, right?

It doesn't matter if this is true.

I can't let Misoo go, ever.

Do you think I'll give in?

Misoo, please.

Get in the car.

Please.

I want to be by myself.

If the situation was reversed, would you let me go?

Why aren't you surprised?

Because it's not something I find important.

It's not important.

and

I already knew.

Why didn't you tell me.?

I told you,

that it's not that important.

I can't believe it.

That Aunt Shinja is the one to give birth to me.

How can this happen?

I feel that I can understand what your feeling.

but I'm hoping that you'll think about this in a distant manner.

This situation could get worse from here.

Why do think Aunt Shinja had me then give me to my mom?

With what emotion did my mom raise me?

Misoo you know everything about your mom.

That she really loves you.

How could Aunt Shinja,

wait until I've grown up

to even call me?

How could mom really love me this much?

Was it because I was pitiful?

Will you be alright?

Don't worry.

I don't have the courage yet to talk about it.

I'm going to act like nothing's wrong.

I don't know what to say,

except to sleep well.

Go.

After watching you go in.

Goodbye.

Why aren't there any walnuts?

In the fall you need walnuts!

Older sister probably didn't buy them because they were expensive.

What's that?

It means a day to thank the gods that we've come so far healthy and everything that we wanted has come to fruition.

and that's why we eat these foods.

Aunt! I want to see you.

Come in.

How can you be so cold-hearted?

Didn't you think about how it would hurt the other person?

I know.

She always thought that her real mom was her current mom but

that her aunt is her birth mom, how shocked she must be.

Why do you think I did what I did?

I did for you because that kind of daughter-in-law is unacceptable!

It doesn't matter what you do, I love Misoo.

If Misoo will only agree, I'd marry her in a second.

No I will marry her.

Why are you being like this!?

I told you, she doesn't even know basic etiquette and she doesn't know who her father is!

And who cares?

So if a person doesn't know who their father is, they're automatically a bad person but

if they know who their father is then they're some great person?

Don't you know the phrase that blood doesn't fool anyone?

Is that what the phrase is saying?

Aunt, I've never been more ashamed of you.

I know what you went through to raise me but I'm ashamed.

It doesn't matter if your ten times more ashamed of me, if you bring home a decent girl then I wouldn't say anything.

Aunt, it's like you wish me to become depressed!

How dare you say that!

What's going on?

Let's try to keep it quiet.

Come out here!

Did I tell you or did I not tell you to keep your mouth shut!

How old are you?

Then

Father do you not care if you have a granddaughter who doesn't even know her father?

Then this shouting is about that?

How dare you tell such a sorry tale to the poor girl!

How can you not know what it is to be ashamed/embarrassed!

I'm embarrassed!

I don't care about embarrassment

I can't just sit by and let Youngmin get together with such a girl!

What's so great about our family line! I grew up as a merchant

Is being a merchant that lofty?

But our house isn't a gambling house or a lounge either!

Is she a gambler or a con artist?

She's good enough.

If she comes into this household then I'm leaving.

You don't have to wait, leave now. No one's making you stay!

Father please calm down.

She's just reacting as a person with a lifetime of responsibilities.

But her love for Youngmin is

That love is skewed and not at all caring for Youngmin!

How am I skewed?

Is wanting Youngmin to meet someone of high caliber that skewed?

How can you not understand what I'm saying!

You think that Shinja's just your aunt

but Shinja is the one who gave birth to and left you with your mom and then went to America.

She had you without even knowing who your father was.

Are you okay?

I wish you would call me.

I just want to go to sleep.

Okay do that. Please keep an open mind.

I feel helpless that this is all I can say to you.

Cho Misoo, What happened?

All I got was a text message and then no phone call.

Congratulations!

The pictures came out great.

The graduation went well, right?

Everything was perfect except you weren't there.

Well, what happened?

sorry....

There was a slight emergency at home.

I'll give you your present next time.

hold on. what is going on?

You can't just leave it at there was an emergency at home.

You should tell me the details at least.

I'll tell you later.

I see, Tell me later and give me my present later.

Don't do that, just tell me what happened.

Remember we're friends for always that have no secrets.

Sorry, I can't talk on the phone too long right now so I'll tell you later.

i am hanging up.

Are you just coming home?

Yes, mom.

Was there a party after the graduation>?

Yes there was.

Was it fun?

Yes.

Why don't you go in since your tired.

What are you doing? go in.

Goodnight, mom

Shinja gave birth to you and left you with your mom and then went to America.

She gave birth to you without ever knowing who your father was.

Mom,.brush my hair for me.

Me too.

You were doing so well by yourselves, why now?

Put my hair in a ponytail.

me too.

What is with you two?

I'm busy so go ask your aunt to do it for you.

aunty!

Brush our hair.

Me too.

Come here.

How come one bowl is wild rice?

Who's eating wild rice?

Mom told me to set it out for Misoo because she wasn't able to eat it last night.

Then why isn't Misoo coming out!?

Misoo, come eat!!

Wow aunt brushed your hair really good.

Hey Misoo, after Hyunwoo's graduation did you guys have a dance party?

Aunt this isn't America.

We may go clubbing but we don't do dance parties.

Let's eat!

We all had wild rice last night but because you weren't here mom saved you some and told me to give it to you.

Yesterday was Harvest day.

Did you know it was harvest day?

no.

Ooo you're going to have a hard time now.

We ate all the nuts and chestnuts.

me too.

It's just your aunt who's going to have a hard year.

Misoo, you should write my biography.

My life is a good story.

Mom, what could you possibly have to say.

Mom, you said that you had the love of your husband and lived happily.

Meeting your father and falling in love would probably be a chapter in of itself.

You should do it. Misoo will write it down.

Mom, do you have $1000? Misoo only writes for $1000.

What my granddaughter can't even write me that?

For free?

Are there granddaughters who write down their grandmother's biography for money?

Misoo's busy.

Yea mom, Misoo's busy.

This current biography's going to take at least half a year.

Since your here and your relative is here, I'm going to go to the hair salon.

and get my hair trimmed

Why don't you go to the Adult center for some fun after your haircut? Don't worry about Shinbi.

I don't want to go all the way over there.

Come back again!

Yes, goodbye.

Goodbye

Are you free these days?

Not really.

Older brother, I quit Bhia.

I quit and got a job writing a biography.

So I'm not that free.

A biography?

That's not an easy task.

You need to be a good writer and be able to please the client as well.

It did seem that you were having a hard time.

It's okay because there are others who are writing too

and other than sewing she's had a pretty quiet life.

Try your best.

Older Brother,

do you remember me when I was about Shinbi's age?

Of course I remember.

Was I pretty?

I just remember what's in the pictures, how could I remember exactly when you were Shinbi's age?

Did I drink breastmilk or formula?

probably formula.

I remember feeding you formula.

What about when Aunt Shinja came from America when I was about 3-4 years old?

Yes because I was about 9 years old then

Even then no one knew her contact number so her visit was a surprise.

I remember her and mom crying together.

Are you so suddenly interested in stories about when you were young?

It just came to me as I was looking at Shinbi.

You have memories of when your older but when your this young, you just don't remember.

I'm just curious as to how mom raised me.

if I made it hard for mom growing up.

Do you remember the saying mom used to always say to you?

that Misoo never cried.

Because you hardly ever cried

mom spanked you just to see you cry.

That even when you cried you were so cute but that you never cried.

Study hard at choir practice.

okay. I'll be back.

I'm leaving.

Older sister, I'm going to have a cup of coffee, do you want one?

Sure.

Older sister, about when you told Misoo to follow me to America,

are you really thinking of sending Misoo to America?

You don't even like it when me and Misoo laugh together.

That I'll accidently tell her I'm her birth mom. Are you really thinking of sending her or were they just words said in the heat of the moment?

If she insists on seeing him, what other choice do I have?

You said it

that if you told her that your her birth mom that she wouldn't look at you like a person anymore.

I'll going to believe those words and am in the process of thinking of sending her.

Older sister, What if I had a situation that makes it so I can't go to the states immediately would it still be okay?

Remember, I told you that some old african american guy keeps asking me to marry so that's why I came to Korea.

I think he's still waiting for me so I can't go righ tnow.

Isn't it done if you don't like him? why are you running away?

What if he really dies because he can't have me like he said he would.

Well, there is that problem but actually,

I invested some money and I lost the investment pretty badly

that I don't really have the means to support Misoo.

Did you come here because your having a hard time with money?

NO!

Don't you know the saying that even if a rich person goes bankrupt, he still has enough for 3 years?

I'm not that far in debt but I'm just worried that Misoo would be disappointed.

I've never asked you how your made a living in America but

are you living on the brink of bankruptcy?

No, it's just that I'm having a harder time this year than last year, that's all.

I'm really okay, it's about Misoo

Hey older sister, about that piece of land that you have in your name

wouldn't it be great if you could sell it and use that to support Misoo in America?

It's not as though she's going for only 1-2 months.

You don't even have the money to support Misoo for a couple months?

I didn't really think about the spending money for Misoo

but you can't even feed, give her a place to sleep, or cloth her?

Of course I can!

I'm just saying that she wouldn't be living in the big house and be able to travel as much like last time.

Don't worry, I'll take her with me.

Don't worry.

Where is this ahjumma? She's not even here, so annoying!

What is with this ahjumma?

She got fired.

She got fired?

How can you fire her first without hiring someone else?

He's here.

Who's here?

He's coming right now.

This is our new employee. You met our cook and this is Misun.

Say your hellos, this is Pablo.

Ah I see, he's not korean.

Hello.

It's a relief that you can speak korean.

I can't speak it that well.

Speaking that much is good enough.

Misun, please train him well.

Yes. Don't worry.

But what country are you from?

He came from far away, Argentina

So not even on this continent but Argentina?

He says his mom is korean.

Ah, I see.

Ah, Isee...

At first glance he seems korean but also seems foreign, I was confused too.

Pablo, put on your apron and then start working.

Yes sir.

Do you think he'll be any good?

Just train him well.

Ahjumma, you take care of the training, ok?

Wash the dishes with this sponge and then

put them in here. This is the dish dryer.

I'll do it.

Okay, try it.

Make sure to get all the food crumbs off the dishes.

It's full now.

Have you done this work before?

I used to work in restaurants in Argentina.

Then you're probably more experienced than me.

What's that mean?

Ummm, meaning that in the experience ladder, you're higher up./

Anyways, since your new at this restaurant, your technically below me.

Plus, we have alot to do besides washing the dishes.

We have alot of stuff like washing the rice, peeling the potatoes, washing and cutting the green onions.

Yes.

I'll put the dishes away so Pablo why don't you start peelin the potatoes.

Where?

Over there.

It's not 10 cds, just 5.

But didn't you say you were going to buy me 10?

Well, buying the 10 cds brings some pressure for me

and you getting the 10 cds, you might not like all of them so I just bought 5.

Didn't you say that you got a big deposit on your biography writing contract?

I did but I thought buying you 10 might be a little hard.

Think about getting 10 cds at once.

That's true. If these were 10 cds, I would feel a little obligated.

Thanks.

Was your graduation that perfect?

Yes other than you not being there.

For a college graduation isn't it funny how my grandfather, grandmother, aunt and uncle were all there.

Your whole family went?

It felt like a huge party at my house, I even got spending money.

That must have been nice.

It felt a little ackward since i was the youngest there but

the adults actually thanked me

because they were able to gather them all at one place because of me.

Maybe it's because your an only child. Usually adults don't really have that much interest in graduations.

That's true. I am a favored son.

MIsoo, thank you.

Okay. Now it's your turn.

Tell me what happened at your house.

Later.

Later again!

Nope. I can't wait any longer.

I'll tell you later.

What can you do by hearing my household problems?

All you need to know is me and plus, I don't really know about your household either.

really?

That's because there's never really any news in my house.

Like say having an aunt that hasn't been around pop up in 20 years.

If that happened I would tell you!

I did too.

Then why can't you tell me why you couldn't make it to the graduation?

If you keep pushing it, it may become harder for me to tell you later on.

so wait.

Okay.

You want to watch a movie?

I have to go do an interview for the biography.

Today?

Next time, don't schedule to see me if you have other engagements because I get disappointed.

Dad....

I'm not even your daughter,

why did you love me so much?

My place was always

on your knee.

You'd place me on your knee and

read to me

and if I was sleepy,

you would hold me

and put me to sleep.

Was it because I wasn't your daughter?

Was it because you felt sorry for me?

Is that why you did those things?

Am I really

not your daughter?

Did aunt

really give birth to me?

Is it true?

You still have the same features as when you were 4 years old.

you were so cute back then too.

I've never forgotten your 4 year old face.

Let me give you hug.

Misoo!

Do you know what my first wish is?

What is it?

That you Misoo find someone who loves you and makes you happy.

someone who for you would even pluck a star from the sky,

Aunty, Thamk you.

Do you know what my second wish is?

To live with you forever.

Are you my mom aunty!?

Why are you being like this?

What?

Don't stick your nose in my business!

An aunt is like half your mom, I have the right to know about your business too!

Since I'm like half your mom, I could be your mom

I'm not thankful at all for your help, not one bit!

Have some hot water. Did you come to visit a grave?

Maybe it's because you were out in the cold for too long. Drink some water.

Thank you.

Mrs!

Yes!?

Wow, you must be having a hard time.

I'm sorry but

could I lay down for bit in the back?

I share the room with others

But it's okay so why don't you go in and rest for abit, you don't look so good.

Thank you.

I put in some charcoal so the floor should heat up soon.

Here.

Misoo, please pick up the phone.

If I can't get in touch with you all day, I told you how it would make me feel.

Even if it hurts, please answer the phone.

and tell me

that you're hurting.

Honey!

There's a director with a daughter

who asked if we could set her up with Hyunwoo.

They must get alot more lofty families requesting a meeting

why would they ask if she could meet Hyunwoo?

How did they find out about me?

Once before we had just been talking about our children and I guess he remembered.

it wouldn't be bad.

I don't really want too.

Plus well I don't think it would work.

Please excuse me, I have to take this phone call.

Hyun woo speaking.

It's been awhile.

Dad, come eat dinner.

I'm sorry to be calling so late but have you had any contact with Misoo today?
