COHABITATION CONTRACT

What is this, Gyu-jin?

Mother…

I want water.

You're home.

COHABITATION CONTRACT

I asked you what this is.

Mother…

This is…

Na-hee.

You tell me.

What's a cohabitation contract,

and what's this about your divorce?

What is this about?

Mother, it's… You see…

We got divorced, Mom.

What?

What did you just say?

Na-hee.

We're divorced.

It's been a while.

Wait. Hold on.

What on earth are you talking about?

Why would you get a divorce?

Why would you get divorced?

Why would you…

Why would you get a divorce?

-Why would you… -Mom, hold on.

-Why… -Calm down, Mom.

-Mother, please. -Why are you divorced?

-Right. -Get her a bag.

-Mom, are you all right? -Why?

What's this?

Why would Auntie and Uncle be divorced?

This is outrageous.

Tell me about it.

I can't believe people would start such vicious rumors.

A divorce?

-That's insane. Right, Jun-seon? -What? Yes, exactly.

I heard about how nasty people could be online.

They're the worst, aren't they?

Unbelievable.

Shouldn't we report these people to the police?

-Let's tell Aunt Na-hee. -No, don't. There's no need to.

But still…

NA-HEE

Na-hee, things are bad--

Ga-hee, Mom just fainted.

We're on our way to the ER.

What?

-Why? Why would Mom suddenly faint? -What?

-Mom fainted. -She fainted?

-Na-hee? Mom! -Mom?

-Mom, are you all right? -Mom.

She got a sedative, and she just fell asleep.

She was hyperventilating and convulsing.

I told you to tell her.

I said it'd only shock her more if you dragged this out.

Why didn't you listen?

Jun-seon, keep it down.

We're sorry, Jun-seon.

You're just as responsible.

How can you let it get this far?

You know how much my mother adores you.

What a jerk.

You know, I withdrew this to pay this month's rent,

but take it first.

Jun-seon, there's no need.

I'll pay you back the rest as soon as I make the money.

-You borrowed money from him? -Yes.

How is that important right now when Mom is in hospital?

How did she find out?

-I doubt she read the online comments. -Online comments?

I don't think she knows.

A DOCTOR COUPLE ON DOCTORS

THEY'RE A FAKE COUPLE

What will you do now? There are over 1,500 comments.

Now everyone is going to find out about this.

And you even stabbed Mom and Dad in the back.

What are you going to do about this? Say something. What will you do?

Jun-seon, keep it down.

Dad?

Father.

Dad.

Did either one of you cheat on the other?

-No. -No.

Was money involved, then?

Did one of you stand surety for someone?

-That's not the case. -No, Father.

Then what?

Why did you get divorced?

You two had a good marriage,

so why did you suddenly decide to get a divorce?

Personality differences.

What?

I thought it was stupid when people got divorced

over personality differences.

"Is that even an excuse?"

"People are born to be unique and different."

But now,

I understand how important it is.

If that is truly a major reason for divorce,

your mom and I would've done it hundreds of times.

Compromising and sacrificing--

For how long?

It's been torture.

I've been lonely and unhappy.

So for how long must I endure it?

It's unbearable.

We're only torturing ourselves.

I'm sorry…

for disappointing you.

I'm truly sorry.

Father.

DOCTORS DIRECTOR

Mr. Yoon,

can I get you another beverage?

I'm good, so don't mind me and study.

Aren't you going home?

Well, I'm a little exhausted today, so I'm waiting until my mom falls asleep.

Why? Am I bothering you?

No, of course not.

Actually, yes. You're bothering me quite a bit.

I can't focus on these questions.

Gosh, that's harsh. You're being too brutal now.

I won't make a single sound, so go back to your studies.

Goodness.

Are you serious? You won't get the answer like that.

That--

Okay, got it. I'll shut up.

Ga-hee, what is it?

I'm at the café.

What? So what happened? Is Mom okay?

Sure thing. I'll be right there.

What's wrong? Is something up with your family?

Yes, Mom found out about Na-hee and Gyu-jin.

She fainted, so they took her to the ER, and now they're heading home.

I should get going.

Your mom will find out soon too.

Someone wrote an online comment about it.

I'll leave you to deal with her, okay?

What do you mean? What comment?

What the--

Da-hee, how about we close up early--

What are you doing here? Where's Da-hee?

-Something urgent came up, so she left. -Urgent? As in what?

You'll soon find out.

Mom, how are your blood pressure and heart these days?

Are they both fine?

Why are you suddenly asking about my health?

What is this about?

Mom, please sit.

Let's take a few deep breaths.

What's going on?

Just tell me. You know how impatient I am.

Mom,

Gyu-jin

got divorced.

Divorced? When? When did it happen?

Mom,

please calm down and have a sip of this.

Let's be rational.

So when was it?

When exactly did you sign the papers?

It's been a little over a month.

What? A month?

Why?

For what reason?

Did you cheat on Na-hee or hit her?

No way. She'd never let anyone do that to her.

Don't tell me that she's been hitting you.

Mom, that's not it.

It just happened, all right? I'm sorry.

What did I tell you in the beginning?

I said things would never work out between you two!

Remember her reaction when I told you

about the shaman who said Na-hee would swallow you whole?

"No one believes in such superstitions anymore."

This is what she does after making me look like an old-fashioned hag?

My son is now a divorcee because of her!

Mom, it's not just me. She's a divorcee too, so stop.

Shut it!

Must you take her side amidst all this, you moron?

I know you're upset, Mom, but not as much as Gyu-jin and my sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law? They're divorced now!

You know what? This is for the best.

You're still young, and you have your whole life ahead of you.

You can meet someone better than her.

Her family was never right for you anyway!

Mom, please.

Mom, Gyu-jin just got divorced.

It's too early to say those things.

Well, I'm that upset!

I blame myself for not stopping the marriage.

Unbelievable. Are you kidding me?

Mom, you must be feeling weak.

Shouldn't you eat something?

How about some porridge or rice gruel?

-They're the same thing. -They're different.

Porridge is thick, and rice gruel is thin.

Mom!

My goodness. Look at how pale you are.

Shouldn't you have stayed at the hospital? Are you okay?

Your mom will be fine,

so let's leave and let her rest.

Sure.

Mom, get some rest.

Get some sleep, Mom.

You three, come and have a seat.

When did you find out about it?

You knew about it, right?

When did you find out? Tell me!

I was the first one. I found it out two weeks ago.

And we heard it last week.

About three days ago, to be exact. Is it four days?

Anyway, it's been less than a week.

We told Na-hee to tell the truth as soon as possible,

but she asked us to wait a little longer.

Still,

how could you pretend not to know about it?

Do you still call yourselves her brother and sisters?

I'm sorry.

We're sorry, Dad.

It's my fault.

I found it out first, but I was afraid to tell you.

I'm sorry.

How could you guys do this to me?

How could all four of you…

This is unbelievable.

You guys are just unbelievable.

Dad.

Dad.

This is crazy.

Is Ms. Choi all right?

The worst is over on our end. What about your family?

They are devastated.

What did Ms. Choi say?

-Hello? -Yes, Mr. Yoon.

I just called you instead of texting.

Is Ms. Jang's condition really bad?

I'm afraid so.

She's not saying anything.

What about Ms. Choi? She's furious, isn't she?

Of course. She is going on and on furiously.

She's cursing with words that I can't even repeat.

Come to think of it, we're like enemies.

How did we end up like this?

I know.

And it's not just about Mom.

I'm worried more about tomorrow. I mean the hospital.

Oh, the comments. I can only imagine.

What are Na-hee and Gyu-jin going to do?

The hospital director is quite hot-tempered.

There will be a big fuss at the hospital.

What is this all about?

You should've told me about it sooner.

Look what you did to the hospital's reputation.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm sorry.

I told you to promote our hospital, but you became the talk of the town.

Some are even calling it buzz marketing.

Is that true? Is that what you intended?

-No, it's not like that. -You should've been more patient.

Why couldn't you just get along?

I will take full responsibility and resign.

I will

quit my job too.

What?

Then what?

Who would replace you?

You can't just quit without any kind of plan.

How could you be so irresponsible?

Director.

-Director! -Gosh.

-Loosen your tie. -Get off me!

Are we done getting yelled at?

Who knows? There might be someone else.

How is Mother doing?

What about your mom?

She's enraged.

I knew she'd be like that,

but it's hard to deal with.

Let's consider it the punishment we deserve.

We were expecting this to begin with.

She's heartless.

So heartless.

FANS SHOCKED THAT DOCTOR COUPLE ON DOCTORS IS DIVORCED

The comments are so harsh.

They're going too far.

It was bound to happen.

There were even articles about their good chemistry.

People probably feel like they've been fooled.

It's tarnishing our hospital's image.

Dr. Yoon. You knew about it, didn't you?

Yes, I did. I'm an accomplice in this.

I aided and abetted their fraud.

Go ahead and criticize me too. I'll take the heat.

Hey, we're not criticizing them.

We're just worried.

I know.

I don't know about Dr. Song, but I feel bad for Dr. Yoon.

I bet he's the one who put up with Dr. Song.

Isn't it obvious?

It's so obvious. I can almost see it.

You know Dr. Song has an aggressive personality.

I would never marry a woman as scary as her.

I'd rather kill myself.

She would nitpick everything I do. Gosh.

Who said so?

Who said I put up with her?

Are you such good judges of character?

Are you mind readers or what?

Don't make assumptions when you don't know a thing.

I'm the one who nags at home.

I'm a neat freak. I have mysophobia.

Did you not see that?

Jeez.

Don't you dare say things like that again.

This is a warning.

Song Na-hee speaking.

Hello, Dr. Song. This is An Hyeon-jun from Sejin Hospital.

I'm calling to update you on Yo-han's surgery.

The surgery went well, so we can start rehabilitation right away.

Really? I see.

Okay. Thank you.

Oh, and we'd like to have him transferred. When is it convenient for you?

Na-hee must be upset.

No wonder.

Hey.

You're not here to meet me, are you?

Well, not really.

Is it telepathy? I somehow wanted to come this way.

Thank you. I heard Yo-han's surgery was successful.

Of course it was successful. I took care of it.

I know.

Are you all right?

-Here. -Thank you.

You're good at surprising people.

To be honest, I was shocked too.

I know.

It's harsher than I thought though.

My name is all over the Internet.

What made you decide to appear on TV?

It must've felt uncomfortable to be on TV with him.

My parents didn't know about my divorce.

And when the casting offer came, our director practically forced us.

If I knew it would cause so much trouble to the show,

I would've refused the offer.

Although malicious comments are a social issue,

I didn't care much about it.

But now that it's happening to me,

it's hard to deal with, even when I'm pretty tough.

I understand people calling us a pair of tricksters.

But they even tell us to quit and go kill ourselves.

I'm not sure that I did something that bad.

Don't trouble yourself.

They just want something to gossip about.

Apparently, I'm called the Ice Witch online.

It sounds about right.

That's a good nickname.

You know what? Ice melts if the temperature rises by even one degree.

You seem to get hurt more easily than you look.

Am I wrong?

I don't know.

I'm not sure about myself either.

I can tell just by looking at you.

Let's go. I have afternoon appointments.

Get the data from Dr. An on your way back.

We took the biopsy. There wasn't any sign of metastasis.

Thank you. I'll see you later.

My pleasure. Bye.

Yes, Mom.

Don't you dare talk to me like that.

I'm the one who should be sighing.

Why are you calling me? What do you want?

When will you sell the apartment?

Will you keep living with her?

We notified the real estate agent, but…

Let me deal with it, Mom.

What can you deal with?

Shall I call an agent I know? If I offer more commission money--

Mom, I'll deal with it. I want to sort out some other issues first.

Why do something that needs sorting out? I'm hanging up!

Why does she keep--

-Hi, Bo-yeong. -Gyu-jin.

Can you talk?

Yes, well… I'm free.

I wasn't sure whether to call, but I was worried.

Are you all right?

You must've been startled.

It just happened.

I finally understood what you said last time.

It must've been tough for you. Even more so now.

It's fine. It'll pass.

Well,

I have to deal with it. It's my fault.

Okay.

Call me whenever you need me.

Whether it's food or coffee, I'll buy you anything.

Okay.

Thanks for calling.

Cheer up.

Take care. Bye.

CLOSED TODAY FOR PERSONAL REASONS!

The darn brats never let us have a day of peace.

How could Na-hee do this to us as well?

We got stabbed in the back by the person we trusted the most.

Are you going home? Hop on.

You go ahead. I'll get some groceries.

I guess that family isn't very blessed.

She was so excited that her daughter and son-in-law were on TV.

She even threw a party and celebrated.

How did that daughter end up divorced in just two days?

Exactly. You get sick if you eat too much at a party.

She celebrated way too much.

She was down after her youngest got an annulment.

Then she was so haughty about the TV show.

Shouldn't she get her name

in the Guinness Book of World Records or something?

It's rare for all four of your kids to get divorced.

"The youngest got an annulment!"

That's what Ok-bun would've said if she heard.

Sorry.

What was that? Did he do that on purpose?

What? He couldn't have.

The fishcake needs to cool.

-Cho-yeon! -My gosh.

Cho-yeon!

She must've heard gossip.

Why do you dress weirder and weirder each day?

What is it?

The second daughter of the fried chicken place owner.

She came on his birthday.

She signed autographs and stuff, remember?

-Yes. -What about her?

That daughter and her husband got divorced.

Over a month ago!

What? For real?

What are you saying?

They went on TV and said they were married?

Yes, but the president and his wife found out just now.

His wife lost her mind and passed out, causing a fuss.

The fried chicken place is closed today.

My goodness. How did that happen?

-She adored those two. -Yes.

Aren't her older son and daughter divorced too?

Yes. Everyone in the market is gossiping about that family.

Whispering and gossiping like crazy. It's no joke.

It's such a pity.

The president must be really upset.

Stop doing that. How can you focus on this right now?

Give it back.

My problems should be kept separate from work. I have to update that today.

I'll do it. Leave it to me.

I have to tell everyone that

the recycling truck's coming at a different time.

I'll do that as well. Leave it. You just chat with me.

How's your wife?

Shouldn't you be at home?

I left because I thought I'd only be in the way.

She's better off alone.

I guess nothing can comfort her.

She wouldn't want to hear anything.

It's so devastating. Even for me.

How could all four of them do this to their parents?

I know.

I must've wronged all four of them in my past life.

Yes. Think of it that way and let it go.

Don't feel wronged or angry.

Aren't you going to the gimbap place today?

I may be head over heels in love,

but how can I leave a friend in distress?

I'm not that disloyal.

What do you think of me?

Thanks a lot. I feel so touched that I'm tearing up.

Right? Aren't I the best friend?

A man puts loyalty before love, okay?

Loyalty.

My gosh.

UNNIE'S GIMBAP

I wish I could see Cho-yeon's face just once.

No.

My friend is moping because of his daughter,

and I come here to see my love?

This is wrong.

Yang Chi-su, you're a man, and this is not how you live.

What's wrong with just seeing her face?

It's not like I'll do something untoward with her or anything.

What's so wrong about that?

Don't make excuses.

If you go inside, you're a traitor.

You're a jerk.

Darn it.

Sweep up outside your door!

It's so dirty I can't stand it!

Look at all this! You have no conscience!

What…

-What? -What's so dirty?

It's totally clean.

Mom, Jun-seon bought your favorite cream buns.

Have a bite, will you?

Right, Mom. I went to get these, so eat a little.

You haven't eaten all day.

Mom, this is really upsetting.

She didn't starve when we got divorced.

Mom, this is discrimination too.

It is.

You say you love every child the same,

but you ate after our divorces and you can't after Na-hee's?

Now I feel upset.

-You must eat-- -My gosh!

Get out of here. Get out! Out!

Mom.

-Sleep, then. -We'll leave.

-Auntie. -Hi, Auntie.

How's your mom? Did she eat something?

No. She just turned these down.

She can't eat something that dry.

I'll make abalone porridge. You can have some too.

What is Dad up to? Is he with Mr. Yang?

No. It seemed like Mr. Yang left.

Then where is he?

Is he alone in the store?

My afternoon appointments were canceled? All of them?

Yes. There was one left,

but the kid went to stay with the mom's parents.

She just called to reschedule the appointment for next week.

Okay.

I get it. You can go.

-Yes, Doctor. -All right.

My gosh. This is not fair.

FATHER-IN-LAW

Hello, Father.

Is there no way

you can get back together?

Father.

All married couples

experience a crisis or two.

If you try to be a bit more understanding and get over that,

everything else will be easy.

This I can guarantee as a man who has lived longer than you.

Can't you do that?

Even when

I'm here,

asking you for another chance?

Father.

Since I was a kid,

it was hard to deal with my mom.

Well,

I hated it, to be honest.

Unlike other moms,

she was always emotional

and got frustrated easily.

But she's my mom, right?

We're related by blood, no matter how I feel.

It's how I learned to accept her for who she is.

But it's different for married couples.

When things clash and we go off track,

it's almost impossible to recover.

We haven't laughed

with one another for a while.

We live under the same roof,

but we don't share a single laugh.

No silly jokes are said between us either.

We only talk when we argue.

I'm truly sorry, Father.

I couldn't keep the promise I made about our marriage.

I'm terribly sorry.

I'll be in touch. Sure thing.

Why is she thrilled about my son being divorced?

People just love seeing others unhappy, don't they?

Jerks.

Excuse me, Ms. Choi.

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead, although I think I know what you have to say.

I'm guessing I should look for another place to work.

You won't be comfortable seeing me,

and I don't want to walk on eggshells around you.

Quitting is probably for the best.

Right.

I can't disagree with you, I guess.

Should I stop working here today or stay until you hire someone else?

It's fine. You should get going.

I'll find your replacement myself.

Then let me stay and finish up things for today.

I said it's fine.

I doubt I'll have any more customers anyway.

Right.

I'm truly sorry about this.

What are you sorry for and why?

It's not like you did anything wrong.

Still.

I feel horrible.

I feel bad for Na-hee and Gyu-jin.

I hate we're ending our relationship like this.

I don't know how you felt, but I loved working here with you.

Ms. Choi, don't drink too much wine,

and don't skip your meals, no matter how upset you are.

Thank you for everything.

How can two sisters be this different?

Half of each sister would make the perfect woman.

How should I find a part-timer as decent as Da-hee?

It'll take her some time to find my replacement.

Gosh.

Ms. Song!

Mr. Yoon.

So that's what happened.

You had to quit your job too.

Yes, this happened in the end.

That means we're no longer in-laws.

What should I call you if I run into you now?

Na-hee's my ex-sister-in-law, so you're my ex-in-law?

Just call me Da-hee.

Mr. Yoon, you're older than me, right?

Then will you call me

by my name as well?

No, I don't think

I'll be able to do that.

I don't think I'll be able

to call you by your name either.

Let's not call each other anything, then. "Hi, it's been a while."

-We'll keep it like that. -Sure. We'll leave out the names.

So why did they have to do this? They're both grownups.

They fell in love, got married,

and brought us together to make this one big family.

They're causing harm to so many people.

Irresponsible jerks.

That's because love is bound to change.

I've been there, remember?

My sisters and brother have all experienced it.

Still,

let's contact each other every now and then.

It'll be a shame to end our friendship.

Keep up your studies

and work hard on changing your personality.

Here.

I'm sorry you have to experience this sour mood again.

Bombs keep going off, don't they?

It's all right.

You and I were a bomb three years ago too.

Na-hee, did you finish work now? You're late.

It's okay. Go back to your meal.

Where's Mom?

Na-hee, you're here.

Your mom looks like death in there.

I gave her some abalone porridge to eat, but she wouldn't open her mouth.

Why don't you try and get her to eat some?

Would she take the food? She caused this.

Mom,

it's me.

I heard you didn't eat anything today.

Can you have some of the porridge?

Just hate me all you want.

Don't hurt yourself by skipping meals.

Mom.

You!

How could you?

How could you do this to me?

The others might be clueless, but you know how I feel.

The divorce itself is bad already.

How could you hide it from me like this?

Do you even respect me as your mother?

Do you look down on us because we sell fried chicken?

Mom, that's ridiculous.

How is it ridiculous?

Then why would you do this to me?

I don't want to see your face.

I can't be bothered, so leave.

Get out!

I told you to leave!

-Mom? -Get out!

Mom, don't. You hardly have the energy.

Just get out of here.

Ok-bun, calm down.

Ok-ja, get her away from me.

-Tell her to leave. -Yes, of course.

-Ga-hee, take her. -Sure.

Na-hee, come on. Let's go outside.

Mom.

Jun-seon, just go.

My gosh.

Ok-bun, lie down first.

Don't waste any more of your energy.

Ok-bun, lie down.

I'm home.

What's going on? What happened?

Serves you right for waltzing in there.

Would Mom want to look at you after what you did?

You're a sinner, you know. You wronged her.

I know I wronged her.

-So stop it. -Stop what?

Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do?

Where's that attitude coming from?

Those who wrong others should be too mortified to say even a word.

Who are you to stand tall in front of us?

Jun-seon, stop.

-Keep it down. -Jun-seon, let's go outside.

Let go of me.

You don't even know what you did wrong, do you?

You have no idea how much you've hurt this family and our parents.

I know. I know it so well. It's killing me too.

If you knew, you wouldn't be talking back to me!

Jun-seon, please.

What should I do, then?

Should I get on my knees and await her punishment?

Is that what you want me to do?

What about you, then? What makes you such a good son?

You broke her heart just the same.

You have no right to yell at me!

Hold on. Why would you bring that up?

-What are doing? -My gosh!

-Dad? -Dad.

-Goodness. -Dad, that's not it.

Na-hee, this brat, went in to see Mom--

Shut it!

You've got to be kidding me.

No matter how thoughtless you could be, you shouldn't raise your voices here.

Unbelievable.

Get out. All of you, leave!

-Dad. -I don't want to see any of you.

-Dad, we're sorry. -Get lost!

Go!

We don't need any one of you, so get lost!

My gosh.

This is on you and that temper of yours.

Look what you did to us.

How is this my fault? It's Na-hee's fault.

Stop it already!

I can't believe you're still arguing.

All right, fine. There's no need to yell.

I'm sorry about this.

We keep showing you the worst side of us.

So what now? I don't think we can go back inside any time soon.

How about the rooftop, then?

Three are already up there.

That makes seven in total.

I guess there's room for us to stand around at least.

Follow me.

Let's take this chance to do some sibling bonding.

Where are we off to?

Are you ignoring my suggestion again?

I'll tell Mom and Dad-- Hey, wait for me.

I do feel bad for Mom.

She worked her whole life to raise us all,

but three got divorced and one got an annulment.

It's not common, to be honest.

Call me the original sinner, guys.

I'm the one who started it.

No. I'm the worst out of us four.

I hurt her the same way right after you did.

No. My annulment was the final straw.

Mom was moving on when I broke her heart again.

Na-hee had to hide her divorce because of me.

Because I caused the problem.

Don't say that. This isn't your fault.

I'm the worst one in terms of shocking her.

I stabbed her in the back real bad.

I'm glad you know.

Na-hee, let me give you some sincere advice.

You tend to be too sure about your decisions.

Your thoughts and choices could be wrong.

When you make big decisions,

seek advice from your siblings

and those around you.

There's a reason why people say things that you don't want to hear.

Even if it hurts, be humble and open to others' opinions. Don't you agree?

Isn't she the lady doctor from Doctors?

The one that got divorced.

She is.

I wouldn't stay married to her either.

A woman who stomps all over men--

-What did you just say? -Jun-seon!

She would never marry a punk like you. Who are you to insult my sister?

-Jun-seon, stop. -Gosh, we're sorry.

We're just in a terrible mood, you see. Sorry.

Stop it.

Aren't we entitled to free speech?

Like sister, like brother. What a family of thugs.

What?

-What did you just say? A thug? -Ga-hee, please.

Who are you to say that about my siblings?

I'm the thug in the family.

Want a taste, you punk?

Ga-hee, not you too.

Na-hee, please.

Punch him, Ga-hee.

I'll take care of the rest, so do it.

Did you hear that? My sister gave me the go-ahead.

You're dead meat now. She's notorious for knocking out people's teeth.

-Come here. -Ga-hee, no.

-What the-- -Ga-hee, please don't!

-Stop! -Say that again.

Try saying that again!

Why aren't you sleeping?

Can't you sleep?

Ok-bun, should I get you a glass of water?

Honey.

Right, of course.

I know how you feel.

I don't think I have it in me this time

to share words of wisdom like I normally do.

What can we do though?

They won't get back together even if we try.

Honey.

Let's just think of this as our fate.

I mean, what else can we do?

Honey, why is it always me?

Why only our children?

I had no idea that Na-hee of all people would betray us like this.

This is so unfair. What did I do to deserve this?

What am I supposed to do now?

Honey, I don't know if I can keep going.

My gosh.

Honey.

That's it. Let all the tears flow.

Think of this as the last day you'll cry.

And tomorrow, we'll close up the store for a day

and go somewhere to get fresh air.

I'll buy you crab, your favorite.

That's it.

Let it all out.

What do I do?

Dad, you're up early.

We spent a long time serving out our punishment outside last night.

I didn't ask.

Well, in case you're wondering.

Where's Mom? Is she still asleep?

She left home.

What?

Your mom ran away from home.

What? She ran away?

What now? What's wrong?

Mom's disappeared.

What?

Mom left home. When Dad woke up, she was gone.

Hey, wait. I'll drive you there. How will you get there without a car?

Forget it. It has nothing to do with you now.

I see. Is she not there?

Yes. Her phone is turned off.

Yes.

If you get a call from my mom, could you please let us know?

Yes. Thank you. Bye.

She's not at the playground.

And the park near the community center?

She's not there. I checked there already.

Gosh, where did she go? She should've at least told us something.

Let's look for her a little more. Go on.

MAPO BONE SOUP

She's not at Ms. Yeong-sun's.

Mom didn't call her either.

It's the weekend, so their store isn't even open yet.

I have no idea where she is.

Hang on, Ga-hee.

Aren't you even worried?

How can you be frying chicken now?

I'm worried sick about her.

We still have to work.

We can't make a habit of closing our store.

Don't worry, Ok-ja.

She'll come back after getting some air.

This is not her first time running away from home.

When Da-hee caused trouble, she came back after half a day.

This isn't the same. It's a lot more serious.

Both you and I know what Na-hee means to her.

No matter how much people gossiped about her, she said,

"I still have my Na-hee."

That's how she held out.

She must be devastated now.

Ok-bun, where are you now? Ok-bun.

Yeong-dal, do you think--

Hey, that's enough. Stop crying, Ok-ja.

But I have bad feelings about this, Yeong-dal.

Why don't you call her again?

Ok-bun is like a mother to me.

I can't live without her.

Ok-bun, where are you now?

Ok-bun.

Gosh, where on earth did she go?

Wasn't that hilarious?

Gosh, this is so pretty.

Mom.

Where are you going?

I'll be in my room.

Where's Na-hee? Is she still at Ganghwa Island?

No. She said she left. I guess she's on her way home.

This won't do. I will go to the police station and report her missing.

-I have a bad feeling about this. -What are you talking about?

It's been less than a day. Let's wait a little more.

For how long?

What if something happens to her?

What would you do, then? I can't wait any longer.

You can wait for her calmly.

-Gosh. -That punk.

Mom?

Mom!

Mom, where have you been? I've been worried about you.

Hey, let go of me. I can't breathe.

I thought you jumped into a river or something.

I was on my way to the police to report you missing.

How can you make your son worried like this?

Promise you won't do this again.

But where have you been?

You wouldn't know it even if I told you.

I don't know. I don't care. I'm just glad that you're safe.

This is disgusting. Stop whining already.

-Mom. -Mom!

Mom, we've been worried sick about you.

We called all your friends.

Na-hee even went to Ms. Yeong-sun's restaurant.

Thank you so much for coming back safe and sound, Mom.

-Mom. -Mom.

Gosh, get off me. Don't overreact.

You're back.

Yes, I'm back.

Good. Go get some rest.

You must be tired from walking around all day.

Mom, did you eat anything? Do you want some abalone porridge?

Heat up some porridge. I doubt she ate.

-I'll go heat it up. -Let me help you.

So where did you go today?

I wanted to go with you, but you left me out.

The Ganghwa beach I went to with Na-hee before.

You went quite a long way.

I guess you loved it, then.

It was nice that day.

But now that I think of it,

she took me there to tell me something.

She wanted to tell me the truth.

Are you tired?

Yes, I'm tired. I'll get some sleep.

Go ahead and sleep.

Sleep well.

Where did she go, Dad?

Whom did she meet?

Stop nitpicking. She's back, and that's all that matters.

Still.

Does she want to sleep?

She wants to sleep. Don't bother her.

Is she sleeping? I heated up the porridge.

Save it for later.

I'm going to the merchants' association office.

Don't wake her up. Okay?

-Yes. -Yes.

-See you. -Bye.

Really? Is she asleep now?

Where had she been?

Okay.

Ga-hee, take good care of her.

All right. Okay. Bye.

Hello, Na-hee.

Hyeon-gyeong, where are you?

I just finished work. I had a makeup lesson to do.

I haven't eaten all day.

Will you eat with me?

Go ahead and eat. You must be hungry.

I'm sorry, Hyeon-gyeong. I know you should go home.

I called home already. Seo-jin is asleep.

Seo-yeong takes good care of her.

Why aren't you asking anything?

You must've heard everything.

I want to let you eat first.

Does that sound too much like a mom?

You'll get sick if you do that.

Do just one thing. Eat or cry.

Good.

Cry first, then eat.

If you eat then cry, you'll get hungry again.

Bear with it.

You have no other choice.

You made the decision.

It was my decision,

so I can deal with my pain.

But the pain that my decision caused Mom and Dad…

that's too hard to bear.

Time is…

Time is too slow.

How delicious.

It's full of red beans from head to tail.

-Mr. Song! -My goodness.

What were you thinking about that you didn't even see me coming?

Were you out somewhere?

Yes, taking care of things at the office.

What about you?

I ran into the fish-shaped bun lady and she gave me some leftovers.

-Do you want one? -No. I don't feel well.

Something must be bothering you.

Goodbye, then.

Go on ahead.

Mr. Song.

Do you have some 1,000 won bills?

Bills?

How many?

This is the best when you're upset.

Sing a few songs like crazy, and you'll feel better.

It's just a temporary measure,

but it's four songs for 1,000 won. Let's just sing four.

I'll be in the booth way over there.

Don't worry about me overhearing you.

-Here you go. -Well…

No, I-- Ma'am.

-Where is it? -Over there.

I look around, wondering what to do

But all I see are people With their backs to me

Let's all go

To the East Sea

Who is throwing rocks and bruising me?

Who is it?

Who is making my poor heart cry?

- Who is it? - To the East Sea

Why are you filling your own glass?

It's fine.

I'm used to pouring,

but not to others pouring for me.

How do you feel? Didn't the shouting make you feel better?

Well, I guess it worked a bit.

You should eat as well.

If you drink without any food, you'll be too sick to work tomorrow.

-Here. Eat this. -Thanks.

The fish-shaped bun lady said

she uses the same batter and red beans

to make fish-shaped buns,

but some cook well while some burn.

She's never completely pleased.

Even buns from the same batch are like that.

So it's the case for kids from the same parents too.

You never get your way with them.

Don't be too upset.

Everyone is talking about our family, right?

I can't deny that.

But it's strange.

Why is it so exciting to talk about someone else's misfortunes?

I mean, it can't be because we're all bad people.

It's because it's not their problem.

I don't have any kids,

so I don't know half of what you're going through.

But when I'm upset, I think of the worst outcome.

I could fall down a manhole and break a leg,

or I could die alone in my room without anyone knowing,

and my body would rot away.

Why would you think of such dreadful things?

Compared to those situations, the rest is nothing.

So what if your kids are divorced?

Pretend they were never married.

Isn't it better than them dying of something dreadful?

Maybe.

I'm okay, but my wife is half-dead.

You're not okay either.

Don't pretend to be okay.

Your heart will suffer.

Vent it by singing

or by drinking. Don't keep it inside.

Then start again tomorrow.

What's more to life?

You sound like you've lived longer than I have.

I tried to lecture someone older, didn't I?

Sorry.

MR. SONG YEONG-DAL

Yes, Dad.

Dad.

You're here.

You drink instant coffee, right?

You can talk, Dad.

Drink before it gets cold.

Just talk.

You called me to say something.

You should

come home.

What?

Pack up and move back home.

I'm moving back home. Dad told me to.

Yoon Gyu-jin.

It must've been tough living with me.

I was sorry.

And thank you.

Let's eat out as a family. You won't go back on your word, will you?

Keep trying to get close to her.

That's all you can do now.

Let go. You're being a nuisance.

Na-hee must feel so embarrassed.

Mom doesn't even answer her.

Should we help them make amends?

What's that? My gosh. Isn't that Mom?
