Hello?

Hey, Dad.

Did you sleep well?

Hey, Jae Ho.

What's up?

Nothing's wrong with your mom, right?

No, she's fine.

- Are you up now? - Yes.

Yes, I am.

What time is it?

It's 10 a.m.

What?

You have a lecture today. I called in case you were still asleep.

I'd better head out.

I'll be back late afternoon.

No need to rush.

You can take your time.

Okay, then.

My son is...

so kind.

I should get a new blow dryer.

It's too old.

There are so many ripe blueberries on the blueberry tree.

I'd better harvest them soon.

I have so much time...

now that I don't need to cook daily,

but I've gotten worse...

at caring for those around me.

I misunderstood you.

(Episode Eleven: You're the Juice You Make)

I thought you were just soft-hearted, keen on details, and warm.

I didn't know you could be so indifferent and rough.

Of course,

because you were always keen on details when it came to working.

I should've known you had changed...

over the time I've aged and changed.

I guess I was too oblivious to that.

Oh, no!

Sorry, Mom.

I'm fine.

Still, I'm glad...

we have the time to get to know each other...

once again.

- Mom! Dad! - What?

What do I do?

Turn the heat down!

Turn it down instead of off?

Can you get some water?

I wonder how things would've been...

had I not asked you to come to the hospital with me that day.

Be careful.

What if we divorced,

and you found out about this later?

Would you have been mad at me?

Or...

would you have been glad?

It feels...

as if my illness has brought our family back from falling apart.

It's like it was planned.

I learn...

how to control pain here.

I take slow breaths...

or massage where it hurts.

But my favorite way...

is to use my imagination.

It's so spicy!

What did you add to this?

This.

- This is a Thai chili. - Yes.

How many did you add?

Just three small ones.

Give me some water.

Iced water, please.

Isn't that Jae Ho?

- Should we pick him up? - No, we can just go.

They seem to be on a date. We shouldn't interrupt.

I miss going on dates.

It's so good!

It's so good.

Thinking of the times and places I felt happy.

Here you go.

Thank you.

- Professor, - Yes?

your class for the next semester is already full too.

- Already? - Yes.

Didn't course selections just end?

Your lectures are so good...

that many take your course multiple times.

Is that right? I appreciate that.

So, we talked about this during our meeting...

and were wondering if you could open another course.

So many have requested a humanities course from you.

Another one?

I mean, not right away.

Maybe next semester.

I don't know.

I'll think about it.

Please do.

Thank you.

Sun Hwa,

Yes?

I'm sorry,

but could I...

get the deposit advanced?

Sure, you can.

I'm terrible with confrontations,

so why did I...

ask you to do such a thing?

But no matter how hard I thought about it,

I couldn't think of anyone...

but you.

Jae Ho.

Sorry, I'm a bit late.

I'll be there in ten minutes.

It's fine, Dad.

Take your time.

Okay.

Thanks for telling me...

you'd have done the same...

if you were in my shoes.

Yes, I would've done so too.

Dad is coming soon.

Do you need anything else?

Our son is just like you.

I wonder...

how you two will live once I'm gone.

I'll be right back.

Don't worry.

You'll be late. Hurry.

See you later.

- Bye. - See you.

Here.

Thank you.

- How did the lecture go? - It was okay.

It's the same old.

You should do your best.

You should be grateful for the people who are there to listen to you.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll be a good lecturer.

There he goes again.

- Where are you going? - Sorry?

Well, this.

Chang Wook bought some food. I'll quickly go out and eat.

No need to hide.

You can just eat here.

Yes.

I asked him to buy it on the way here.

I felt bad watching you eat hospital food every day.

- Hurry and eat. - Okay.

The restaurant is so generous...

for just a tiny neighborhood restaurant.

Their fish is always fresh too.

That's abalone.

There's a seabream one too!

A herring nigiri!

Honey.

What am I doing?

I'm sorry, Da Sol.

You can eat.

I understand how you feel,

but Ms. Jung...

can't digest any food right now.

It'd be nice if she could just taste some food,

even if she can't swallow it.

Stage four colorectal cancer patients...

normally don't want food.

They instinctively know their bodies can't take food.

Ms. Jung probably wants to eat...

because of her memories.

So, are you saying...

she can't ever eat again?

You, as her family,

shouldn't hide from her when eating,

but instead, talk to her...

and make her feel at ease.

Food-related memories...

don't only live in our taste buds.

It'd be nice if I could do anything.

Then...

Well,

Well, I'll check how she's doing...

to see if she can drink something.

Okay.

- Please help her. - Yes, sir.

You can go home now.

It's 11 p.m. now.

Da Sol,

I'll be here this weekend.

You should take the weekend off.

Spend some time with Tae O too.

Okay, then.

Let me know if you can't come, though. I'm free.

Thank you.

I'll come as soon as school is done.

Get some rest until then.

Should I bring anything when I come back?

Do you need anything?

Fruit juice.

Fruit juice?

The doctor said...

I could drink liquids that aren't just water.

You know,

the juice you made me, but I couldn't drink.

Right.

I can make that for you.

It was mango juice, right?

Anything but cabbage juice.

Okay, then. No cabbage juice.

Yes. You can go now.

See you.

Goodnight, Mom.

Get home safely.

Goodnight.

I feel myself getting stronger...

as we practice our goodbyes each day.

If it's inevitable,

I might as well be ready for it.

- Chang Wook. - Yes?

The liquid other than water...

the doctor talked about is...

probably clear liquid.

I don't think Da Jung can take...

fruit juice with fiber.

Right.

I'm just worried you'd get sad to find out she can't drink it when you've made it.

I'm just giving you a heads-up.

I see.

I'll figure something out.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- You should head home now. - Yes.

Get home safely, Jae Ho.

See you tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I didn't think...

I'd have you cook for me for so long.

And I definitely didn't think your food would be so good.

I feel better...

knowing you'd feed yourself well...

without me.

There's really not much time left anymore.

We spent so long fighting and hating each other.

But now,

every moment seems so precious.

Be honest.

Would you have...

done the same if it were another writer?

My opinion wouldn't change, even if it were written by anyone else.

I'm not doing this because it's you.

What's wrong with it?

If something could be fixed, I would've suggested we fix it.

Seriously.

We decided to live together out of love,

so why did we spend the whole time resenting each other?

(Fruit juice filtered many times to get any fiber out)

What's wrong?

This is it.

I feel alive now.

Does it even smell like anything?

Is it really good?

It tastes like you.

How do I taste?

Bland...

but has all the flavors it needs.

Be careful.

You could've told them to come to the hospital instead.

Are you sure about this?

I don't want to talk to them in bed.

There they are.

Da Jung!

Da Jung!

- Hurry. - We'll just park the car.

You can head in first.

Let's head in.

They even sell doenjang stew.

You came a long way. Let's have some good food.

What's good here?

We can order...

one meal set per person,

then some tteok galbi,

potato pancakes,

- and maybe acorn jelly too. - Yes.

Jae Ho,

you like aged yellow corvina.

I'm fine.

No.

Excuse me.

Hello.

We'll get four wild vegetable sets,

two tteok galbi sets,

and a yellow corvina set.

We'll also have potato pancakes...

and acorn jelly.

Yes, ma'am.

And...

grilled bellflower roots too.

That sounds like too much food.

We serve a lot of side dishes.

Okay, then.

What should we take out?

No, we don't need to take anything out. It's fine, honey.

- We'll just take them all. - Okay.

You know you want to try everything...

when you visit a restaurant like this.

You're right.

I always want the thing I don't end up ordering.

Thank you.

Shall we dig in?

Enjoy.

Let's dig in.

Thank you.

You can eat my bowl of rice too.

In Yeong, here.

Have some of this too.

Both my parents were busy working,

Thank you.

so it was always my responsibility...

to feed my sister.

You know, every eldest child...

has this responsibility.

These are rare to come by nowadays.

Have some.

It's quite enjoyable...

to watch others eat.

Always feeding others...

went from a responsibility to a habit.

And that habit became a joy.

There's nothing more important...

than sharing food together.

That's...

what you call a family.

He's complimenting his own food!

That means it's really good.

Thanks for coming today.

It's nothing.

I'll come back another time.

I guess you're not too busy.

No, I'm still busy.

I'm just kidding.

See you again.

Yes, Ms. Jung.

Bye now.

"See you again..."

feels like a difficult promise as time passes.

That's why I try so hard to leave it as a light goodbye.

Let's go, Mom.

Okay.

Your dad will stay with me at the hospital this weekend,

so you can leave with Da Sol.

I can stay too.

It's too crowded.

You were with me last weekend too.

It's not at all uncomfortable for me.

I just want some alone time with your dad.

Do you not go on dates with your girlfriend these days?

I don't have one.

Yeo Jin would be sad to hear that.

Did Dad tell you?

I know everything.

Why are you breaking up with her?

Just because.

We're busy with our own things.

Like Mom and Dad back in the day?

There are countless reasons...

to break up with someone.

But if the lack of courage is why you're breaking up,

you'll regret it so much later.

It's nothing like that.

You...

seem to be close with your dad again,

and I'm so thankful for that.

He's good to you, after all.

Right.

But...

if I didn't step up to ask him first,

it would've been hard for him to come back home too.

Jae Ho,

Yes?

if you don't want to regret it,

all you need to do is be courageous once.

Yeo Jin.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

Why did you do that?

What's with you?

Seriously!

What took you so long?

Are you asleep?

No.

Me neither.

What's wrong? You can't sleep?

No.

Let's just talk until we're sleepy.

Talk?

About what?

Just anything.

Let's see.

What did you tell Jae Ho earlier?

What he needed to hear.

Another secret?

There's no such thing.

I just told him to patch things up with Yeo Jin.

I see.

He's bad with apologies, just like you.

I'm like that?

Yes, you are.

I see.

Sorry, then.

See?

You're so bad with apologies.

Jae Ho...

will grow up to be a great person...

if you lead him well.

I don't know if I can do that.

You cooked for your wife, after all.

It's time...

you do what you do best...

that helps the world.

There's nothing to stop you anymore.

I'm not good at much.

No need to overthink it.

You can do anything...

with the effort you've put into learning to cook.

I should've cooked for you sooner had I known you liked it so much.

No, it was good.

I read your blog posts too.

They're nothing.

I just wrote them so I wouldn't forget the recipes I made for you.

Nothing else.

They're good,

even in the eyes of an editor.

This is my first time having you compliment my writing.

As sad as it may be, when people read the posts,

they'll know I was happy.

I'm glad...

we could record our moments.

I wish I had made you...

the kimchi rice you love so much.

It's not even that hard to make.

Kimchi rice?

It's good.

The rice cooker...

doesn't scorch the rice at the bottom,

so you need to use a pot.

And add perilla seed oil at the end...

instead of sesame oil.

That's what you like.

You can get better quickly and make it for me then.

I just want you to know.

Remember...

to use a pot and perilla seed oil.

Okay?

A pot and perilla seed oil.

Got it.

I...

think I'm ready.

You're so inspiring.

So brave.

This memory...

will fade with time too.

Please filter all the sad memories out...

and only remember our laughs.

You're...

the juice you make.
