I'll be in touch. Sure thing.

(Episode 26)

Why is she thrilled about my son being divorced?

They 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're going to say.

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

You won't be comfortable seeing me anyway,

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 work until the end of the shift...

or stay until you hire someone else?

It's fine. You should get going.

I'll find your replacement myself.

Then let me stay until the end of business 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, you know.

I feel bad for Na Hee and Gyu Jin...

and I hate that we're ending our relationship like this too.

I don't know how you felt,

but I loved working here with you.

Ms. Choi, don't drink too much of the wine today,

and please 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.

Where do 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 happened.

You had to quit your job too.

Yes, this happened in the end.

I guess we're not officially in-laws anymore.

What should I call you when I meet you on the streets now?

Na Hee's my former sister-in-law, so are you my "ex in-law" too?

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.

Can you believe the things these so-called grown-ups are doing?

They fell in love, got married,

and brought us together to make this one big family.

Just how many people are affected by this?

Irresponsible jerks.

That's because one's love for another changes.

I've been there, remember?

My sisters and brother have all experienced it.

Still,

let's stay in touch, okay?

It's a shame to let this friendship go to waste.

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, are you just getting home? Your work must've ended late.

It's all right. Please 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 served by the one who caused this?

Mom,

it's me.

I heard you didn't eat anything today.

Can you please have some of the porridge?

Just hate me all you want.

Don't hurt yourself by skipping meals.

Mom...

You!

How dare you.

How dare you do this to me!

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

The divorce itself is just as bad,

but 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 at the market?

Mom, that's ridiculous and you know it.

How is it ridiculous?

Then why would you do this to me?

I don't want to see your face, so get out.

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 Boon, please calm down. Just breathe.

Ok Ja,

just 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...

Joon Seon, just go.

My gosh.

Ok Boon, just like down, okay?

Don't waste any more of your energy.

Ok Boon, lie down.

I'm home.

What's going on? What happened?

Serves you right for waltzing in there.

Would Mom want to even 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?

What gives you the right?

Those who wronged others...

should be too mortified to say even a word.

Who are you to stand tall in front of us?

Joon Seon, stop.

- Keep it down. - Joon Seon,

let's get some fresh air.

Let go of me.

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

You have no idea have much you've hurt...

this family and our parents.

I know. I know it all too well.

It's killing me too, you know.

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

Joon 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 drove a nail in Mom's heart too.

You have no right to yell at me!

Hold on. Why would you bring that up?

- What do you think you're doing? - My gosh!

- Dad? - Dad...

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

Na Hee, this brat, went in to see Mom when she...

Shut it!

You've got to be kidding me.

Even the most stupid ones...

would think twice before raising their voices here.

Unbelievable.

Get out. All of you, leave!

- But 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?

Hold on, 3 are already up there and there are 4 of us.

That makes seven total.

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

Follow me.

We'll 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 feel bad for our mother, you know.

She worked her whole life to raise us well,

but 3 got divorced and 1 got an annulment.

It's not common for a parent.

Call me the original sinner, guys.

I'm the one who kicked things off.

Don't be like that. I'm the worst out of us four.

I hit the wound you left behind which made it hurt even more.

No way. My annulment was the final straw.

Mom was finally moving on but I open up old wounds again.

Na Hee only hid her divorce because of what I did.

Because Mom was still recovering.

Don't be so annoying. This isn't your fault at all.

My punch was probably the one that hurt the most.

I stabbed her in the back, didn't I?

I'm glad you know.

Na Hee,

let me give you some sincere advice.

You have too much conviction in your own decisions.

Your thoughts and choices could be just as wrong, you know.

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.

Humbly let hurtful advice sink in...

and be open to other opinions. Don't you agree?

Isn't she the lady doctor from "Doctors"?

The one that got divorced.

She is.

Even I wouldn't be able to stay married to her.

A woman who stomps all over men...

- What did you just say? - Joon Seon!

She wouldn't even marry a punk like you,

so who are you to talk smack about my sister?

- Joon Seon, stop. - Gosh, we're sorry.

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

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, you know.

Want a taste of this?

Ga Hee, not you too.

Na Hee, please.

Just punch him, Ga Hee.

I'll take care of the rest, so do as you wish.

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

You're dead meat today.

She's notorious for knocking out people's teeth.

Ga Hee, no.

- What the... - Ga Hee, please don't.

- Don't do this. - Get over here.

I dare you to say it again!

Why aren't you sleeping?

Is it still keeping you up?

Ok Boon,

let me 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?

It's not like we can do anything to get them back together.

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 get some fresh air.

I'll buy you crab, your favorite.

That's it.

Let it all out.

Oh, dear.

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 is gone.

What?

Mom ran away from home. When Dad woke up, she was gone.

Hey, wait. I'll drive you there. You can't go there without the car.

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

I see. So she's 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.

What about the park near the community center?

She's not there. I looked there already.

Gosh, where did she go without saying anything?

Let's look for her a little more. Follow me.

(Mapo Seolleongtang)

She's not at Ms. Yeong Sun's either.

And Mom didn't call her.

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 randomly closing a small store like ours.

Don't worry, Ok Ja.

I'm sure she will come back after getting some air.

It's not her first time to run away like this.

Back when Da Hee caused trouble, she came back after half a day.

Things are not the same now. This is a lot more serious.

Both you and I know what Na Hee means to her.

Na Hee was her only pride when people gossiped at the market.

"I still have my Na Hee."

That's how she held out.

She must be devastated now.

Ok Boon, where are you now? Ok Boon.

Young Dal, do you think...

Hey, that's enough. Stop crying, Ok Ja.

I just have bad feelings about this, Young Dal.

Why don't you call her again?

Ok Boon is practically like a mother to me.

I can't live without her.

Ok Boon, where are you now?

Ok Boon.

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 on 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...

and report her missing.

I don't feel good about this. I'm worried.

What are you talking about?

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

For how long?

What if something happens to her while we wait?

What will you do then?

I can't wait any longer.

You go ahead and wait for her calmly.

- Gosh. - That punk.

Mom?

Mom. Mom!

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

Why are you being like this? Get off me. I can't breathe.

I thought you jumped into the river or something.

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

I don't want you to worry me like that ever again.

Promise me, okay?

So where have you been?

It's not like you know all places.

I don't know. I don't care.

I'm just glad that you're safe.

Don't be silly. Why are you whining like that?

- 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 then.

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 anything.

- 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 beach on Ganghwa Island. Na Hee took me there before.

You went quite a long way.

I bet you liked it a lot.

It was nice that day.

But now that I think of it,

she took me there because she wanted 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.

So where did she go, Dad?

Who did she meet?

You don't have to know everything. She's back and that's that.

I still want to know.

Is she asleep?

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 merchant association office.

Don't wake her up. Okay?

- Yes. - Yes.

- See you. - Bye.

Really? Is she asleep now?

Where has she been?

Okay.

Ga Hee, take good care of her.

All right. Okay. Bye.

Hello, Na Hee.

Hyun Gyung, where are you?

I just finished work. I had a make-up 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, Hyun Gyung. I know you should go home.

I called home already. Seo Jin is asleep.

Seo Young takes good care of her.

Why aren't you asking anything?

You must've heard the whole thing.

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 for you.

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 bean 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 took out the trash...

and the fish-shaped bun lady 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 a few dollar bills?

Dollar 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 4 songs for a dollar, so let's just sing 4.

I'll be in the booth way over there.

Don't worry about my overhearing you.

Here you go.

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 just drink, you'll be too sick to work tomorrow.

- Here. Eat this. - Thanks.

The fish-shaped bun lady said...

she uses the same batter...

and same red beans to make them,

but some cook well and some burn.

She's never completely pleased.

Even buns from the same batch are like that.

Kids from the same parents would be like that 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 so strange.

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

It can't be because we're all bad people, right?

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, and don't keep it inside.

Then start again tomorrow.

What's more to life?

You sound like you lived longer than I have.

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

Sorry.

(Mr. Song Young 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.

(Once Again)

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.

Should we help them make amends?

What's that?

My gosh. Isn't that Mom?
