Episode 22

That's mine.

How'd you get this?

I found it.

You heard my mom talking about an exorcism.

My whole family's haunted by the scrap-collecting ghost.

I keep collecting useless things myself.

Please give it back. It's mine.

I don't want to give it back.

Why do you want my picture?

Just because.

I found it when I went to your great-grandfather's funeral.

And I kept it as a novelty.

So don't call me a thief.

I knew it was your picture.

It was strange to see such an old-fashioned photo.

Then please return it to me.

I'll give it back after our show.

What's your problem?

What are you going to do with my picture?

Nothing, but I just don't want to give it back now.

Let's go out.

Don't stay mad at me.

You don't have to fuss over a picture.

I just think you have a strange hobby.

I haven't been feeling well.

You heard from my mother, didn't you?

I'm worn out from selling my business,

and quarreling with your brother at work.

I need medicine.

What does that have to do with my picture?

Don't you have any sympathy?

Should you fight with me right now over a picture?

That's a picture of me when I was 10.

That's even better.

That picture will make you think about him.

Are you really Dan-ah?

Then you won't be able to focus on our show.

It'll be better if I keep it for now.

Please...

I haven't had much of an appetite lately.

I'm trying to eat now, so give me a break.

Are you feeling unwell?

Don't work too hard.

Are you worried about me?

You asked for sympathy.

What's wrong with you? You need to rest.

I'm just going to do some office work.

Can you do that kind of work in your condition?

But I have to make money.

I have to pay you back, and I have to repay my loans too.

You can pay me back later. Just stay hospitalized.

I will, but my loans...

Enough. Health is more important.

But this place is boring.

Staying here is killing me. I'm itching to do something.

Then you should take a shower.

Is your hand all right?

You said it was the first time you ever punched someone.

Your hand's not broken?

I'm not that weak.

I'm sorry I made you do something you didn't have to.

I never thought I'd ever punch someone.

I'm really a bother, aren't I?

I never thought I'd get angry enough to punch someone.

I just didn't know I had it in me.

Mister.

I'm sorry about what happened.

But at the same time, a part of me is glad.

I'm really glad you did something for the first time

in your life for my sake.

I'm going.

- Good night. - Miss Jin-ah.

Thank you for getting me to do something I would've never done.

Go in.

You go first.

You first.

This could go on forever.

Listen to your elder.

I like watching you drive.

Then I'll go first,

since I get cold easily because I'm old.

I know why you call yourself old.

You want me to keep my distance.

So I'm telling myself not to cross the line every day.

Feeling better now?

Why are you so nice to me?

Did you forget the tickets and your animosity?

But we're friends now.

Loyalty's of the utmost importance to me.

I'm a mutt who doesn't let go off his target.

My loyalty is equally fierce.

But why a "mutt?"

There are better nicknames to indicate tenacity.

Are you hungry?

These are good for a fracture.

You're spending so much on me.

And don't you forget it.

I'm the loyal mutt, Ha Tae-young.

Enough with this mutt stuff.

When I was a kid, my friends and I went up a mountain.

I think it was around Dog Day.

Some old men came to kill a dog.

They managed to beat the heck out of the dog.

Is this grossing you out?

Keep going.

The dog was nearly dead,

but it got away when its leash broke.

It ran up the mountain, but...

But?

One of the men was its master.

He called him, "Jjong!"

Then the bloody dog looked back.

It looked up the mountain,

then looked back at its master and hesitated.

And then?

Its master kept calling, so it slowly walked back to him.

The dog knowingly chose death?

I think it knew, judging from its tearful eyes.

But it probably accepted its fate by returning to its master.

I couldn't forget that dog's sad eyes.

I wonder if that was loyalty.

A mere dog chose death over life for that.

Is that why your nickname is "Mutt"?

I resolved to be a loyal person after

I witnessed that dog's loyalty.

That was stupidity, not loyalty.

In a world where people constantly deceive one another,

I've chosen to remain loyal.

What's that look?

Don't tell me you're going to bring up my adultery!

I didn't say a word!

Idiots always jump to conclusions.

At least an idiot's treating you a meal.

I thought you were exhausted.

So?

Why did you bring me to a karaoke then?

My friends are throwing a year-end party.

So?

The first time may have been funny,

but the same trick won't work twice.

Are you going to make me sing again?

And dance too. Get out.

Well?

We'll go with Innocence of the Dancer.

That's not to say that you sing it well.

- You know... - What?

Why am I singing alone?

What?

Shouldn't you lead by example?

So I showed you the choreography.

Start from the beginning. Then I'll copy you.

Nonsense.

I don't have to do anything.

Just work on your skills.

I don't want to.

It's not like you're teaching me anything.

I can't get a refund for this room.

Just do it.

I can be stubborn too. And...

And what?

I haven't seen anything from my teacher.

A student should respect her teacher without questions!

Let's see if you deserve the respect and the title.

I shouldn't do this for free...

Just laugh.

Are you happy now?

Thank you for teaching me a lesson.

You played me like a fool.

I thought you liked playing games.

What if I grow on you?

Good night.

You're not at all worried?

That I might grow on you?

Like a love-hate relationship.

Are you worried?

Your comebacks really sting.

Good night.

Go home. I can close the shop.

You can go. I'll close up.

Are you going to drink again?

What if I am?

Do you hate me?

If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have seen

my brother and Professor Ha together.

At least you know.

But I don't hate you. That's not manly.

You said you'd show me your bad side.

How can I think ill of you when you're so considerate?

That's true.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

I just can't hate you.

And...

I do feel bad about treating you the way I do.

I know what it feels like to watch your loved one from behind.

So I just can't get angry with you.

Close the shop.

Don't drink too much.

It'll be over soon.

I have a hunch this might just go on.

Why couldn't I have taken back my picture?

I am a little scared, like he said.

l don't know what I'm doing right now.

Do you mean that?

You finally make me proud.

You'll really do it?

Yes.

That's great, Hye-joo! You made a great decision.

Gang-suk, Hye-joo will go on an arranged date

with that plastic surgeon intern.

I'm going to my room.

What's gotten into her?

Does she want to get married and leave us soon?

I couldn't care less. As long as she gets married.

Hye-joo.

I'm going to sleep.

I'm coming in.

What are you thinking?

He's asking us to buy him a hospital.

Why would you date a guy like him?

I'm going to get married.

Hye-joo.

It doesn't matter to whom.

It doesn't matter whether he's a con artist or

someone who looks down on me.

You're talking nonsense.

This is the only way to make you stop.

If I get married, you won't pretend to be with Professor Ha

in front of him.

Do you think Ha Dan-ah would go to him if you do that?

I don't know.

Then what?

I know if I'm out, you'll stop.

Then he won't have to watch you with Professor Ha.

Does he mean that much to you?

You'd throw away your life for his sake?

I don't believe in such love.

If you're in love,

you have to make the other person want you.

I've never thought of love like that.

He's there, and I'm here. That's all I think of it.

Look at yourself, Hye-joo.

You're beautiful, and you deserve everything you want.

Love isn't about loving me more.

This is the only thing I can do for him.

I'll leave for his sake.

Don't do this to yourself, Hye-joo.

I know once you start something,

you'll see it through.

If I don't stop here, you won't either.

Get out. I want to go to sleep.

What are these?

Just look.

What are these?

Christmas gifts.

They look shabby.

Shooshyne. Yoo kan pai 50 centz or knot.

What the heck did you write?

Dong-dong, your spelling is terrible.

I'm not good at spelling yet.

Do you understand what it means?

Did you mean "shoeshine"?

And are you asking for money or not?

I understand everything just fine.

You weren't such a good speller either.

You give me shame as a Christmas gift?

Yours is free, Brother?

It doesn't mention anything about 50 cents.

You're not charging Grandfather?

He's my roommate.

Thanks!

You're working hard, Dong-dong.

I didn't know they'd all ask at once.

I know.

They're such trouble.

Grandma. A shoulder massage is free.

You can use your coupon anytime.

Why is it free?

I'm not your roommate or anything.

For cooking me delicious meals.

How nice of you, Dong-dong.

Are you finished, Dong-dong?

Almost.

That's gross, you brat!

But this is how you do it.

He's doing a great job.

Here's 5 dollars.

But I only asked for 50 cents.

It's a Christmas bonus.

Thank you, Great-grandma.

Dong-dong, isn't Uncle the best?

You are.

You made me look cheap.

Should I take back my 5 dollars?

Then I'll look even cheaper.

I'll buy you some comic books instead.

Thank you.

Dad.

You said 50 cents. You don't want it?

You're so stingy.

Here's my gift.

It's a gaming console.

You're the best, Grandma!

- Grandma. - Yes?

I'll be sure to call you "Ma'am" outside the house.

You still have to go to school during the break?

Yes, I have my dissertation and the museum work.

Don't work too hard.

I heard your leg's acting up again.

It's better now.

What's this?

Mother, it's a Christmas gift from me.

People will be looking for a pregnant lady in the car.

What's wrong with that, Mother?

What do you think, dear Son?

Remember your wish of announcing your pregnancy

during the company interview?

What's this now?

A phone radiation blocker.

Seems like you're just egging her on.

But that's not what I meant to do.

Let's go.

I really don't like him.

I can hear you, Mother.

She's been so nice since last night.

She's probably enjoying her last moments in this family.

Isn't it great to eat as a family, Hye-joo?

Don't go out today. We'll go for a facial.

Buy her clothes and shoes.

Do you have accessories?

Make sure to buy her nice things.

Sure.

See, now that you're obedient,

we're willing to do everything for you.

Thank you.

Don't be so formal.

Say, "Thanks, Daddy" or something.

You must really like those items.

Someone's really happy. You're smiling.

I am.

These are really great.

Purchased by that punk's donated funds?

Yes.

Dan-ah.

I know what you're trying to say.

Do you really have feelings for that punk?

Time passes by quickly when I'm with him.

Dan-ah.

I know every day is a battle.

But don't confuse your feelings.

You'll end up getting even more hurt.

But it won't be as bad as when Jin-ha left me.

Can we talk?

I'm going to ask you for a selfish favor.

I have no other choice.

Hye-joo said she's going to get married.

She thinks that'll stop us from what we're doing.

You sure have a strange sister.

Right. She really is weird.

But that's just the way she shows her love.

Are you here to confess?

You started this show for your sister,

but things are taking a strange turn.

So you want me to do something.

Professor Ha and I aren't putting on a show.

That's why I said it's a selfish favor.

I don't want to break up with Professor Ha

for the sake of you two.

So what do you want from me?

You're the only one who can stop Hye-joo.

She said she'd even consider marrying a con artist.

I don't want my sister to throw away her life for love.

So what? It's her life.

Please persuade her. She'll listen to you.

You're very egoistical.

You don't want to break up with Professor Ha,

and you want me to help your sister.

What do I get out of this?

Nothing at all.

I know having Hye-joo around is a burden for you.

But I have to stop my sister from making a wrong decision.

How about doing more for your sister?

If you break up with Professor Ha,

then I'll stop your sister.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.

I came here knowing your answer,

but I just had to try.

I don't understand how Hye-joo can love him that much.

She's been strange most of her life.

I don't think she's strange.

Compared to her, we're all too selfish.

If you love me, then I'll love you back.

That may not be what love is about.

That's negotiation under the pretense of love.

Is that how it was for you too?

With the guy that said, "Are you really Dan-ah?"

When he said he loved you,

did you feel like you had to love him back?

He never said that.

He didn't? Then how did you know?

I came to Seoul for high school.

One night, I went out to buy some textbooks.

I saw him standing outside our house

and asked him what he was doing there.

He said he'd been waiting outside for a few nights

hoping to run into me.

He hid behind the pole when the adults came out.

I asked why he hadn't just called.

He said he'd hoped to run into me by chance.

He liked waiting around in the hopes of seeing me.

I wrote in my diary that night,

There's someone who likes waiting for me.

Are those the memories that are holding you back?

Don't memories fade with time?

You're not afraid they'll fade?

When they fade, they're no longer memories.

What are you doing?

What are you worried about?

It's not as if a person like me would blur your memories.

I have work to do.

Let's go outside and get some air.

What are you doing?

Aren't you supposed to be working?

I have business outside. What are you doing?

I have to pay my fare somehow.

Don't bother. I can go to a car wash.

I'm almost finished.

Isn't it sparkly?

Aren't I good at everything?

Yes, like cooking.

Don't pick on other people's weaknesses.

I'll try to do everything in life.

How abusive.

I'll be back by six, so be here.

Why are you coming back?

To pay you for the car wash.

At age 17, you followed your master here.

Am I really any help?

It's not like my story's fun.

Having spent your entire life in a main family,

your perspective would be interesting.

Would people be interested in my story?

So you stayed with your master even after she got married.

How was the wedding ceremony?

The same as any other wedding.

You didn't regret about becoming a housekeeper?

No, I felt great.

My dear master married a magnificent man.

Magnificent? My brother?

Was my brother that handsome?

Of course.

Although he was the firstborn of a fallen family,

my master's father approved of the wedding.

That tells you he had a quality you couldn't deny.

He was so magnificent and confident for a 17-year old boy.

Grandma, did you have a thing for my brother?

My goodness! How vulgar!

You interviewed me so that you could tease me?

I heard the Pyeongchon elder is bedridden.

How's he feeling?

He says he's okay, but he's not doing so well.

Please forget what you heard.

I'm sorry you had to hear such vulgar things.

You're off?

I'm done for today.

- Buy me some food. - What a bum.

I got nothing to hide and no shame at all.

What a beautiful life.

Let's eat chicken stew.

We had that last night.

It'll help me with my recovery.

Let's go, friend.

Do I have any say?

Let's go.

Take your time.

This is your second bowl since last night.

You sure eat well.

Free food tastes better.

How did you survive without a friend like me?

I wonder.

What?

Are you happy to have me as a friend?

Yes.

What's with the honesty?

I don't have to treat you or anything.

You've never dated, have you?

No man's ever bought you a meal?

I've dated before!

Have you?

- Of course. - When? With who?

- Well... - Don't stutter.

There was a guy I had to support.

Someone besides your family that you had to support?

What a life. And then?

I really loved him with everything I had.

And then?

He got a job with a major company.

The company president's daughter stole him from me.

It was heartbreaking.

I even gave him my rent fee

to pay for his mom's hospital fees.

But he gave me back the money when he hooked up with a girl.

The worse thing is,

he brought her along when he told me it was over.

This is a familiar story.

The day I met you at the station...

That's the same story we heard from some girl.

It is, isn't it?

You were there too?

You loser. At least copy a movie story.

You call me an idiot, but you're not any smarter.

Let's go already.

How Ionely do you have to be to steal someone else's story?

Let's go.

So you've never dated then?

But I have.

It'll break your heart if I tell you my story.

- Try me. - Try you?

You sound like a toy on display!

I thought you wanted to get some air.

Aren't we getting out?

I couldn't sleep last night

because Hye-joo was giving me trouble.

I need some sleep before I drive again.

Then why did we come here?

I don't understand you or Hye-joo.

I just don't understand women.

Just why do you obsess over love?

There's more to life than just love.

Why do you bet everything on love?

You think only women do that?

Was that guy like that too?

Did he also bet everything on love?

You're home early.

I think they make dramas just for you.

Honey, we spent quite a bit today.

Good job.

I looked at some apartments.

That's good too.

For Hye-joo and her husband.

That's good.

How will you live without dramas?

Take everything up.

Make sure to get some good sleep starting tonight.

You have to look your best for the arranged meeting.

I don't know what's gotten into her.

He should've yelled in that scene!

Honey!

Yes?

I said Hye-joo really wants to get married.

She didn't complain when we went to look for a place.

That's old news.

I wish every day was like today.

How long was I asleep?

For about an hour.

Why didn't you wake me up?

Because you said you wanted to sleep.

Since when did you start listening to me?

It's warm.

Drink this before you drive.

What'd you do while I was asleep?

I walked around.

In this weather?

You should've just stayed in the car.

You can't sleep when someone's around.

Drink it.

Then why did you wake me up just now?

I didn't want you to freeze to death.

Your feelings for me lasted an hour.

What?

Does it bother you when I say "feelings"?

I wanted to let you rest longer,

but I can't be late for my lesson.

Are you trying to make me nervous too?

Sorry?

I asked if your feelings only lasted an hour,

but you said you wanted to let me rest longer.

I could get the wrong idea from that.

The rules in this game should be fair.

Don't believe a word I say.

Especially if it gives you the wrong idea.

Touch�.

Finish it.

I don't want you to fall asleep at the wheel.

Scared of dying with me?

With someone you don't care for?

I'm not scared of dying, but with you...

Does it scare you?

Because it'll ruin your reputation?

I wouldn't want to meet you in the netherworld.

Drink it.

You'd avoid me even in death.

Poor me.

I'm sorry.

For what?

I'm five minutes late.

You're such a nerd.

I'm usually punctual.

I can tell.

I should buy you something expensive to make it up to you.

Then some cup noodles, rice balls, and fish cakes?

Welcome.

Why'd we come to a place like this?

As a penalty for being late.

I've never been to a place like this.

Let's just go to a convenience store.

I don't come here often either.

Only when I have VIPs over.

So why did we come here?

You washed my car.

That's not worth a meal here.

I'm not buying you a meal.

Sorry?

I'll buy you a cup of juice.

I'm not that rich.

Hye-joo!

You can't do this, Mr. Chairman.

Sit down.

How have we served you all these years?

What's going on?

You should know better, Mr. President.

Please sit down.

Come on now.

All the executives were fired during the employee shift!

How can you do this to us?

That's the risk that came with the title.

You're subject to being cut for the good of the company.

That's why your salaries were so high.

So what if we got paid more, you punk?

Call the police!

You treat people as expendable toys.

How am I supposed to feed my family now?

You should've planned ahead.

I told you he's not worth talking to.

Doing this won't change anything.

Call the police!

You crossed the line!

A spoiled brat like you wouldn't know

what we have to do to support our family.

You wouldn't know, you punk.

Do you want sympathy?

Then you got the wrong person.

You know the type of person I am.

I knew this would be useless.

If anything, we'll die here together!

Tell them they're intruding on our property.

They're intruding and they're trying to hit my son!

Let go!

I'll kill him!

I'm really disappointed, Mr. Chairman.

I didn't think you'd do this to us.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

How can they do that to us?

To our Gang-suk?

Stop crying already!

This isn't the first time.

But he grabbed Gang-suk by the neck.

Get over it.

We've had it worse than this before.

But I feel bad for Gang-suk.

He knew it was coming.

This won't bother him at all.

Professor Ha saw everything!

I'm sorry.

I don't think I can take you home.

Are you going back home?

It's better not to drive in your mood.

I'm going to have a drink.

Then let's go.

You're not getting off?

I'll make sure you don't drink too much.

I thought you were just buying me a juice.

I fooled you.

Isn't this really expensive?

Just eat it.

See how the tables have turned.

Who'd have thought I'd be eating in this kind of place?

I couldn't have dreamed of something like this without you.

Did I say something wrong?

Maybe he was right.

Other people might think we're dating.

Are you worried about what others will think?

I just wanted to treat you to some good food.

But people will think I'm making a move on you.

Are you making a move on me?

You're not.

I don't think you have the guts to.

Was I too rude?

I think I might be offended.

I didn't think I was that pathetic.

I'm not that old.

But there's a resolution I always try to keep.

As long as I know.

Back in school, I always got blamed

when things went missing because I was an orphan.

It didn't change when I grew up.

When money went missing at work,

I was the first one they blamed.

That's when I told myself, "As long as I know."

So mister, let's think like that.

As long as we know the truth,

let people see whatever they want to see.

Do I look too tough?

Sometimes, you seem like an older person.

I'm old,

but I wonder if I did anything right in my life.

Maybe that's why you met me.

I heard there's a good reason for every encounter.

I got what I deserved.

What a shame, right?

But if you weren't there,

I wouldn't have been ashamed at all.

I could care less about those pathetic losers.

Why can't you be honest?

You don't like yourself the way you are.

No, that never crossed my mind.

I like the way I am.

In this jungle, I chose the right way to live.

Then why are you drinking?

That means you're suffering.

When I went to study abroad,

I saw the movie Crying Game.

There's a story in the movie.

A scorpion asks a frog to carry him

across the water on its back.

The frog asks,

How do I know you won't sting me?

The scorpion says,

Because if I do, I will die too.

The frog is satisfied, and they set out.

But the current gets stronger.

Then the scorpion, out of fear, stings the frog.

The frog cries out.

Why did you sting me, Mr. Scorpion?

For now we both will drown!

The scorpion sadly replies,

I couldn't help it. It's my nature.

I forgot the other scenes,

but I couldn't forget that story.

I couldn't forget the nature the scorpion talked about.

But you said the scorpion replied sadly.

The scorpion was sad about his innate nature.

It makes me sad because I don't know how to stop.

Isn't that what you want to say?

I thought I warned you,

not to act like you know about me.

It's snowing.

Just once...

Just forgive me this once.

Why is that dead guy the only thing in your life?

I can tell you've never dated because you befriended me.

What was she like?

She suffered while she was with me.

This family ruined my life.

I heard you were getting married.

Why would you do that for my sake?

When you say you're uncomfortable to face me,

it drains me.

Can you consider Hye-joo a little?

This better not be a show.

You are a little interested, right?

I've never seen him as a man.

You can't see anyone else as a man?

TO BE CONTINUED...
