Original subtitles

Come out. Stay out here.

- How long has it been? - Not long.

I didn't even know she came in.

She was sleeping real well. She fell asleep reading.

She probably feels like she's sleeping on clouds right now. Don't wake her.

You stay still and take care not to yell.

Am I the type of person who yells?

- Want me to turn on the TV? - What else would I do.

Never mind.

Hey. Hey, son.

Do you think… Do you really think you're making any sense right now?

What do you think marriage is?

You think it's like giving your shirt to someone who's shivering in the middle of the street?

- That's now how it is. - That's exactly how it is.

You think it's normal to marry a cute café employee just because she has nowhere to sleep?

- Dad. - That's a dumb thing to do, son.

I like her, dad.

She's innocent and sweet. I like her.

You say she's 18 Korean age. That means she's only 17, which makes her underage.

- We can register our marriage couple months later. - No!! I won't allow it, son.

I'm not going to tell your mother about this. She's gonna call you a crazy bastard.

She's gonna starve herself and collapse, mourning the fact she gave birth to a fool.

- Dad. - You're only 25.

- I'll be 26. - Can you even support yourself?

- I can. - How?

I'll ask grandpa to support me just for the first year.

I'll send Soo-mi to barista school and make her a barista. Then we can support ourselves after that.

- You think grandpa is your benefactor? - He supports you and mom.

I'm his son. Up until his son is fine. You're his grandson.

Then you support me since I'm your son.

Sung-ki and So-young both support your mother.

The only freeloader here is you, and you wanna bring in another one?

- Then I'll pay for our living expenses. - No. Give it up.

There are no conditions under which you can bring her in. None.

Hey, your mother is having a hard enough time as it is. We're in a huge rush

We have to get your brother out of the house in 5 months. We don't have time to worry about you.

Alright?

Also, don't even kiss the girl. That's molesting a minor!

Do you hear me? Yes or no?

Yes.

Okay then. Meeting over. Okay.

- Were you upstairs? - Yes.

- Come here and turn on the TV. - Okay.

So-young is sleeping in my room. Turn it on quietly.

- You can even mute it. I can just watch. - Okay.

The animal channel. The animal channel.

Here it is.

- What? - Just checking what you're gonna feed me.

Braised mackerel with old kimchi.

- Is there anything I can do? - It's fine.

Don't worry. I calmed Joon-ki down. He said he understood.

You did well.

I also talked to So-young.

We can't expect anything right away. Just wait for her.

Must have been a lot of work. Good job.

Cheer up. It's okay.

- Come in, Madam. How've you been? - Oh, it's been such a long time!

You must be having a hard time helping my short-tempered daughter.

But I'm so thankful that you've stayed here all this time

- Oh it's nothing. - Oh, not at all.

Of all the people in this world, you're the one person I'm most grateful to.

Thank you, Madam.

Bring it in here.

I really can't believe it. Are they really seeing each other?

Is it romantic? A real relationship?

Yes, well. That's what I think too, but I'm not sure what to tell you.

Mom, what are you doing. Hurry up and get changed. I'm starving. Come on.

Oh, okay.

Thank you. I'm sorry. Well done.

Oh, yes. Uh,,

Doctor Ahn. I'll be out right away. Sit down for a minute.

Okay.

Weren't you really busy?

Well you'd already prepared most of it. I just made the stew.

- Set the table, please. - Okay.

- Please sit down. - Thank you.

- Mom, what are you doing? - Huh?

Oh, I'm just not that hungry. Ate a lot on the plane.

Just eat now, instead of raiding the kitchen in the middle of the night.

Okay, I will. I'll eat.

Where is this laver from? I should take some when I leave.

I have no idea. The cook knows.

- I'm leaving, Doctor. - Oh, okay.

Oh, please don't get up. I should have left after you guys were done.

I was just in a rush because my husband is sick with a cold.

That's alright. You should hurry and go.

- I'm sorry to ask for help on your day off. - It's okay.

- Good bye, Madam. - Yes, bye. I'll give you your gift tomorrow.

Okay.

Sung-ki.

Don't be so uncomfortable with me. I'm not such a difficult person.

Okay.

You're the one making him uncomfortable, mom. Stop looking at him. It's so embarrassing.

Did you tell your father I was coming?

No.

You don't talk to him?

I did a week ago.

It's annoying that he doesn't call me unless I call him. So now I'm not gonna call him either.

- He's a busy man. - I'm busy too.

Anyway... When did you guys start seeing each other?

Mom.

I'm your mother. I can and should ask him some basic questions.

It's uncomfortable. Ask me later. I'll answer all of them.

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

But, you don't have to speak so respectfully to me, ma'am.

How could I not on our first meeting.

See, you're making a fuss out of nothing.

I told you we work together. We started going out at the hospital.

It hasn't been long since my daughter arrived from New York. When did you find the time to?

We knew each other before I left for New York. What do you mean find the time?

It's not like a man and woman liking each other is like dry aging a steak.

- Are your parents living? - Even his grandparents are living.

- I think his family has long life spans. - You stay put.

He has an older sister and a younger brother. His sister was a judge and is taking a break…

Oh, she actually opened her own law office.

- When? - Recently. It hasn't been long

- You're dating and you don't even know that? - We're busy enough talking about ourselves.

What does your father do?

He was a high school teacher. Now he's retired.

Oh.

- Didn't you know that? - Why wouldn't I?

He told me when he told me the difference between his name and the word "seong-ki" (genitals).

What do you mean?

His name is Sung-ki. Ahn Sung-ki.

I asked him, of all the names, why is your name like that? And he taught me the difference.

What's wrong with it?

Oh, I just realized. Isn't your name the same as the actor Ahn Sung-ki?

Yes, it is.

So when do you plan on getting married?

Mom, we aren't at that stage yet.

What do you mean stage? You're almost 40. You should get married first,

- since you have to have children soon. - No, not yet. Give us time.

How much do you think I'll have to wait?

Um…

- At least 3 years. - Don't joke around.

- Mr. Ahn Sung-ki, can't you speak for yourself? - Why are you interrogating him?

It's his first time meeting you. It's difficult and he feels awkward.

- Do I make you feel uncomfortable? - Yes, a bit.

Oh, what a shame. You don't seem like the forthcoming type.

I guess I should stay a bit longer, if we want to get comfortable with each other.

I should stay at least a month.

Mom.

I hope that during that time, I can meet your parents once.

Your older sister.

Hi, yeah, it's me. Yeah, I got here fine.

I'm eating at Young-hyun's place.

Oh, I should have called. I forgot. I must be getting old too.

Okay, hold on.

Young-hyun, she says she's set up a meeting with the heart doctor the day after tomorrow at 7 pm.

What? Why? She didn't even ask me. Tell her to cancel it right now.

I'll call you back in a bit. We have a guest right now.

Yes, right away.

Why is she getting things done so quickly this time?

This is crazy. I knew it!

I knew this was gonna happen when you said you were coming all of a sudden.

Since you're not thinking of marriage, it's okay if my daughter meets another candidate, right?

Though it's up to Doctor Lee to decide,

I don't think I could be okay with it knowing it was happening.

You don't need to come out.

My mom's like that. I'm sorry. Forgive her.

Aren't you gonna be like your mother when you're older?

No. I'm laid back, you know.

I wonder what his name is.

The heart doctor you're gonna meet.

I don't know.

I'm curious. I should find out some information about him.

- What would you do with that information? - Just, you know.

Is it bothering you?

I'm just worried I might be causing you to miss out on someone who could be really great.

You think women would have left him alone if he was really great?

- Then what about me? - You were able to escape like a slippery eel.

I'm leaving.

Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

You like him more than he likes you, huh?

Hey, that's a new car!

Hey!

I don't like that smell.

Stop it.

This helps gets rid of the smell of mackerel, father.

It's the smell of people living their lives. Leave it.

- The kids don't like it. - Do the kids rule this house?

No. You do, father. I'm done.

- Hey. - Hey.

Did you have dinner?

Where's your wife?

I came by myself because she has an upset stomach, father.

- Did she eat something bad? - Yes, I think so.

- She hasn't gotten any better? - I thought so but it got worse during dinner.

- Sounds like it's really bad. - What happened during dinner?

Apparently she threw up, father.

- She should starve. Then she'll get better. - Okay.

- Uncle Hee-gyu, what kind of tea do you want? - I'm okay. I don't need any.

- Good night, grandpa. - You telling me to sleep now?

- No. Just that I'm going upstairs now. - Okay.

I'm okay, mom.

Are you giving it to me after he rejected it?

- Drink this. - It's okay.

Go upstairs.

I don't want to look at you. Go upstairs.

Did you yell at him or something?

It just seemed like there was something up between you two.

Oh, there's nothing. Just go upstairs and feed her milk.

Let's go upstairs.

Hmm. You should warm up her stomach.

Honey, you should give them the hot thing I stick onto my long johns in the winter.

Oh, I have that. Young-ja uses it. I completely forgot.

Good. You should try it. It really could be because her stomach is cold.

- Don't you wanna go rest? - Do you want to?

- I'm here, father. - Hi.

- Come upstairs. - That's okay. I'm see you later, Hee-jae.

Is there something the matter at his house? Why's he being like that?

I need to talk to you.

What's wrong? What is it?

Hee-myung is acting like that because he's mad at me.

For what?

Goodness. Why is my life so messed up?

I'm really not a bad guy, you know.

I wasn't such an academic person, yeah.

But it's not as if I had no other options except laboring away at father's restaurant.

My dream was to work on a ship, but I stayed because of father.

Anyway, I gave up my dream and did business, and the fact that

father is able to live such a comfortable life now is all my doing, not you or Hee-myung's.

We all know that. Why are you bringing that up right now?

Have I ever complained to you guys, even once?

No, you haven't. Why are you acting like this?

I've really tried my best to treat you guys right,

to be a good younger brother, and to not think about any benefits or losses I get or suffer.

But I guess life doesn't care if you're a good person since Sae-rom and I can't even have kids.

I have no idea what you're saying.

Hey, stop crying. Stop whining and talk.

What's the matter? Did Hee-myung make a comment about your not having children?

- No that's not it. - Then?

Geez, get it out already.

Sae-rom keeps vomiting.

- So? - They were asking if she was pregnant.

- Sae-rom's pregnant? - Hee-jae, how can you say that?

What are you talking about then?

You know how hard we tried to get a kid.

But we had to give up. And Sae-rom is too old now.

She was so upset I couldn't handle her. Thinks they purposely tried to make her feel bad.

Even though I told her it was a misunderstanding, it actually made me upset too.

But then he comes over in the middle of the

night, saying she can't be pregnant and upsetting me some more, so I got mad and

said something too. But he later bursts into my shop and makes a mess, saying I look down on him.

So I apologize and beg him to forgive me. I barely get him to let me buy him some meat,

when he gets up suddenly and tells me not to act like I know him anymore. Then he paid and left.

- What'd you say to him? - I told him to mind his own business.

That pissed him off enough to burst into your shop?

Yes.

Well, that's something you could say. I don't get why he'd go over and mess up your shop.

Why is he acting so sensitive? I thought he was okay now, no?

Hee-jae, I'm really having a hard time now.

I wasn't good in school like you guys, and I'm a businessman,

so I know Hee-myung and his wife look down on us but…

- Hey, that's ridiculous. - You don't know everything that's happened.

Yoo-jung tells off Sae-rom to her face for her level of education.

And what did I do that was so terrible that he says we should never see each other again?

Hey, hey, shut up. Stop making a fuss about something that's not even a big deal.

It's really not a big deal. It's nothing.

In any case, Hee-myung is your older brother, not just by 1 or 2 years, but by 10.

You should've just let it go, even if it upset you. I think you're not telling me everything.

I think you did something to provoke a sensitive man into barging into your shop.

It's not like he'd do that for no reason at all.

This is how it is. No one is ever on my side.

Don't cry. Stop crying like a child. You're a grown man.

Mom, how many squids should we get?

Oh, just get two. And don't get any if they don't look good.

- Do you need anything else? - No.

You should use these, mom.

That's so many! Do you hide these away and use them all by yourself?

She bought these at half-price, mom. A friend who works at the manufacturer gave them to her.

Half-price is money too, you know. It's enough just to use lotion at your age.

I can't even tell that they work. It's just to lure customers.

Just try it once, mom. It's not completely useless.

Sae-rom uses 2 to 3 of those a day. You think her skin and mine look that different?

Sae-rom's skin is much better.

Hey, that's just age.

Mom, your skin is really nice too. But if you take care of it, it's gonna glow.

You grow old and see what you look like. My skin used to be porcelain.

Okay.

We're gonna be a little late. We're thinking of getting memberships at the fitness center here.

Dad, do you want to start too?

No, not me. You guys enjoy yourselves.

Mom, text us if you think of something else you want besides squid.

- Okay. - Bye.

- Let's go. - Bye.

Yes, it's me. Yes, I can talk.

Hold on. Hold on a second.

That's right. I'm not gonna see him for a while.

Hee-jae, how can you say that after listening only to his side of the story?

Of course I did it with good reason. Do you think I'm crazy to mess up his place for no reason?

Bastard is slandering me.

You should've seen him. The way he acts with you is so different from how he acts towards me.

Do you know how delinquent he looks when he acts like that glaring you straight in the eye?

It really puts me off when he acts with no respect, as if I'm not his older brother.

He treated me like a bum!

Last time, he insulted me by dangling 500,000 won in front of me.

Okay, let's say the 500,000 won thing was a misunderstanding.

But I couldn't make what happened last night a misunderstanding even if I tried.

What'd he say?

Hey, you could just brush that off as a joke.

Geez, Hee-jae, are you drunk? How is that funny? How is it a joke

when he tells me to go to someone else's house because he has no change, right after we fought?

I heard you went looking like a bum, wrapped in a blanket.

Fine, fine. Neither of you did anything wrong. Both of you acted really well.

But why did you say something so awful? That you'll never see him again?

You're his older brother. That was a cheap shot.

That little rat. Is that what he said? Hee-jae, get off the phone.

Hey, hey, Hee-myung!!

- Stop being such a child. - Do you know what that little rat did?

- It doesn't matter. - He blamed everything on me.

Saying what helps you is human instinct. Everyone does that when thinking of their own perspective.

Get out of the way. I'm not letting him get away with this!!

Calm yourself, honey. You should just get over it.

Come on. Just let it go, okay?

I didn't tell you everything, you know.

I overheard you on the phone. I've figured out what's happened.

It's because they feel inferior, honey. You should, no, we should be more understanding.

Oh, god. That little rat.

Hee-jae said I made a cheap shot. That little rat has made me look like that kind of person.

But if you take this further, he might go and tell your father.

Hee-gyu is the youngest. We're at a disadvantage, so you should just end it here, okay?

Yeah. This is what always happens. Even growing up, I was always stuck in the middle.

- Let's have a beer. - Okay, I'll get you one.

It's okay. It's all come out. You should stop now. Here, have some water.

I think I really may die.

Be careful what you say.

- Hi. - What'd you have?

She had bean sprouts kimchi soup and some rice and ended up throwing it all up.

Oh, this is so upsetting. I have no idea what this could be.

Don't worry, baby. Nothing bad will ever happen to us.

It's probably nothing serious. It won't be anything. Okay?

Don't lift my hair. I look ugly.

No, you don't look ugly. No matter what you do, you don't look ugly.

Do you love me?

How can you ask such a shocking question? Are you saying the love I give you isn't enough?

No, just because.

Yeah.

Hee-jae, What if Hee-myung doesn't get Sae-rom a spot at the hospital because he's mad?

What type of childish nonsense are you spouting?

I'm worried because he's the type of person to act all twisted once he's mad.

Can you find out for me? So I can find another way if he says he's not gonna.

What are you talking about, "find another way"?

What if Hee-myung gets really mad at you for treating him like some cheap scate.

Yeah, of course. Don't worry. Yeah.

Hey, I heard you went at him, all life or death, with your eyes going wild in their sockets.

Is that what he said? Wow, that's so slanderous.

My voice did get a little louder but life or death?I'm not that vulgar. He's my older brother.

That's so cheap. Tell him we don't need his help!

He thinks if he doesn't make an appointment for us, we'll have no other options and we'll die?

Why are you guys behaving so foolishly? This is no big deal, alright?

As the oldest, I'm really shocked right now.

Don't worry. I've listened to and considered both sides. I'm getting off the phone!

When are these kids gonna grow up?

- Good night. - Good night.

I'm home.

- What about dinner? - I had some. Good night.

Good night.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Maybe you should slow down a little, father. - It's fine.

- There's no need to overdo it. - I said it's fine. I can take care of myself.

The whole point is to work out, you know.

Okay.

- He hasn't come down yet? - Nope.

- Guess he's trying to show us he's upset. - Well, no one here's afraid of that.

- Hey, Joon-ki. How've you been? - I have something difficult to ask of you.

Sure. What is it?

- Um.. - What is it? Just say it.

I'm asking because I really need it, but I'd be so grateful if you could lend me 1,000,000 won.

I'll never forget it.

Hey, there's no need to talk about "forever," kid. What are you gonna use it for?

Don't ask me that, Dae-ki.

I'll pay you back, 100,000 won every month. I promise.

- And can you keep this is a secret, Dae-ki? - Okay. Send me your account number.

Oh, Dae-ki, thank you. Thank you. Please send it. I'll send you my account number right away.

Please, don't forget and send it to me today.

Okay, kid. Just send it.

Okay, bye. You're the best, Dae-ki.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Did you have some coffee? - No. I'm thinking of switching to warm milk.

Okay.

- Good morning. - Do you want some milk?

No thanks, mom.

- Take this to him. - Okay.

What'd she say?

Hyo-joo, I mean.

What are you taking about? You can't reason with her, mom.

- Just because she got up early. - That's because she has to go to work.

She's always slept until lunchtime on off-days. Try to understand.

Well, my back hurts if I lay down for that long.

Maybe her back is sturdy. She says she can sleep for 20 hours.

Hee-myung asks if we have any seaweed fulvescens.

- He wants seaweed fulvescens? - Yes. He told me ask you, mom.

- He always wants to eat something. - What is seaweed fulvescens?

It's like laver's cousin. It tastes good when you make it in soup with oysters.

It's called "annoying son-in-law soup."

Pardon me?

It doesn't steam so they say give it to your annoying son-in-law to burn his mouth.

Then I guess annoying daughters-in-law should also be careful.

Once, Hee-myung made such a fuss after burning his mouth on it.

It's not as if he grew up starving, but you know how he always acts weirdly impatient about food.

Yeah.

It was so funny yesterday, when he threw the sweet potato.

Oh, geez. Is that how low you view me?

I've texted them. They'll contact me soon.

Yes, yes. Wait, Hee-jae.

Did that little rat say something? That I wouldn't do it for him?

Hey, hey, no, not at all.

We all forget things then and again. I was just worried, so I wanted to double check.

Of course.

Hee-gyu didn't say a word. Yup.

No, I told you I wanted to double check. Yup.

Yup, okay. Thanks, bye.

Hey, Hee-myung hasn't forgotten, so don't worry.

No, actually he was mad that I'd even ask. He already sent a text and is waiting right now.

What for?

Since I'm asking you to lend it, not give it, you don't have to ask me why I need it.

- When are you gonna pay it back? - 50,000 won per month in 20 installments.

Shouldn't we write up an IOU?

- I will if you want me to. - Okay.

Sung-ki, I'll send you my account number, so today, okay? Don't forget.

- Do you have a girlfriend? - No, it's not like that.

Is your account overdrafted?

Yeah, a bit.

Spend money according to how much you make and how much you can handle.

Yeah, I will. I am.

It's okay. It's not gonna be serious so there's no need to worry yourself to death already.

Of course, it should be nothing.

So what if she's a little sick? Modern medicine has developed so much.

Nowadays, it fixes people who would have died back in the day.

Yes.

Honey, I want coffee.

Yeah, no, no. We'll hear back soon.

Just in case you have to get an exam done right away, we should take you on an empty stomach.

Be patient, okay? Let's be patient, baby.

I don't even have a single drop of energy.

Of course. You haven't eaten anything.

- Mom. - What?

- Why is this happening to me? - How should I know?

You're gonna go to the hospital. They'll figure it out.

Mom, can't you be a bit nicer?

You have Mr. Nice Husband attached to you right now. One is enough. Why do you need two?

- My mom's just upset, that's all. - I know, baby.

Hey, Joon-ki. What's the matter?

I've heard that one meal a day is healthiest but I think 3 non-filling meals a day is best.

It's not good to have an empty stomach for a long time.

What we eat becomes our strength. That's why they say there's no medicine like a healthy diet.

In this limited life, if you can't find one meal to eat, you're at a loss of one meal.

That's why I've never skipped a meal, except for when I had an upset stomach.

I've never liked the way you eat, ever since you were little.

- So-young. - Yes?

- Your grandfather is talking to you. - Yes, grandpa.

You have to eat with thanks and eat well to have good fortune.

If you sit there playing with your food, even good fortune on its way will leave you.

Yes, grandpa.

- So-young, what time are you leaving today? - I'm thinking of leaving at 9.

- What about you, Joon-ki? - Have to get to work by 3. Leaving early though.

Okay. You can go with your sister then.

Try to take Joon-ki when you leave for work. He's grounded from riding his bike until the spring.

Okay.

Let's leave at 9.

I'll take care of myself, so mind your own business.

What kind of tone is that?

I might leave earlier or later. So I'll take care of myself.

Why are you talking to your sister like that?

It's nothing.

He's just mad that I refused to let the part-time café employee live in my studio apartment, mom.

You're so needlessly meddlesome in other people's business.

- Sung-ki, you should hurry up if you're done. - Okay.

- Grandpa, grandma, I'm leaving. - Okay.

Is he doing such important work that he has to bring his phone to the table?

- Here's some scorched-rice water. - Ahem.

Be at gastrointestinal internal medicine on the 1st floor of the West Pavillion at 10.

Um, grandma? Can I talk to you for a second?

What's the…

Grandma, I really need some money. Could you give me some?

How much?

Hello.

Good morning.

Oh, you brought coffee? Me too. I can't drink too much.

We can just tell Chang-ho to have one. He'll be in soon anyway.

- Way to not text or call me. - You too.

I was busy with my mom. Had to hear stories about

her friends, my aunts' children, and the scandalous lives of the Koreans in New York.

I also managed to argue about cancelling the dinner meeting the day after tomorrow.

- I thought you might. - It ended finally at 3am with me just insisting.

- You're like friends, not mother and daughter. - My mom raised me that way.

But then sometimes she gets mad about it.

If she gets that way in front of you, you have to take her side, no matter what.

If you don't, she's gonna hate you forever. She holds grudges for a really long time.

You should be careful. There's ice all over the floors. There was even some in the parking lot.

My mom says she wants to buy you lunch. Says she wasn't able to get a good look at you yesterday.

She was staring at me so hard she may have pierced some flesh.

She asked if you were a player.

Huh?

- I said you were a player who can't even talk. - What kind of defamation is this?

I told her I had a real hard time trying to get this player into bed.

- You tell your mom stuff like that? - I do.

My mom was so moved. Says she's so grateful you didn't let me become this old hag.

Oh, geez. How can you tell her all of that?

I told you, we're friends. I briefed her on everything that happened from the beginning.

And she still wants you to meet that guy and consider marriage?

She asked me how I know if he's not a better product than you.

Even when my mom shops, she never buys anything the first time around.

She needs to get around the whole shopping mall at least once and then makes a decision.

So men are just like mall products?

It's because I tend to buy anything, without looking at other things, as long as I like it.

That's what she was pointing out.

Oh, so you guys made up? Good. Good job, Lee Young-hyun.

When did we say we fought?

You think everyone here is a bunch of idiots? We all knew there was some kind of conflict.

Just drink your coffee. It's a beautiful morning.

Mom, Yu-jin's food.

Honey, Yu-jin wants food.

I know.

Yu-jin, mommy needs to go to work, so play well and be a good girl today too, okay?

She's always a good girl.

Today is bath day, grandma. Don't let her drink the bath water like last time.

I didn't do that. Your mother did.

In any case.

Yu-jin, bye bye.

Also, let her bathe in the sun when the sunlight is nice, mom.

- Give her to me. - Just give that to me.

- Mom, did you hear me? - I did. Go to work.

Yu-jin, mommy is leaving.

Geum-shil, hold on. Her diaper needs to be changed.

It does?

Mommy didn't check your diaper?

Geez, mommy is mommy only in name. Isn't she, Yu-jin?

Honey. Can I turn off the stove under the rags that you're boiling?

I'll do it. They need to be boiled some more.

Okay.

All done. Let me see.

You must feel so refreshed.

Do you think Joon-ki is behaving more like an adult now?

I hope he is, but well, I'm not so sure.

Why, Geum-shil. Huh?

- Well, he asked me for money. - What money?

Well, he just told me he really needed it.

- Did you give it to him? - 500,000 won.

I gave it to him without thinking, and then I got worried, just in case.

The fact that he wanted to keep it a secret also made me suspicious.

Hee-jae, did you give Joon-ki money?

No. What money?

Geum-shil says he took 500,000 won from her.

Wait, hold on.

Do you think he's thinking of disappearing somewhere? What if he's collecting funds?

Yeah, Hee-myung. Did you give Joon-ki money by any chance?

No. What money? What are you talking about?

No way. He's old enough now. He can't still be thinking like that.

- You didn't turn it off? - Yeah, I forgot.

Yeah, Hee-jae, it's me. Yeah.

Yeah, I gave him 1,000,000 won.

Well, he said he needed it urgently, so I gave it to him without much thinking.

"Without much thinking?" Are you in your right mind? You know he collected money from all over

when he ran away from home last time. How could you just give him money and not tell me?

Did he run away from home?

No.

I forgot about it because it was so long ago.

How can I refuse when my nephew is asking for money, saying he'll pay it back in installments?

Did he leave a letter and leave home?

Nothing is certain for now. The only ones I've confirmed are you and mom.

He took 500,000 won from her.

No, Hee-myung didn't hear from him. Guess he left him out because it was obvious he'd get nothing.

Bye.

Hey, hey, hey, didn't you go to the hospital?

Okay, good.

He's not picking up. Guess he's in surgery.

Honey, why? Where are you going?

Honey, honey. I don't think that's it.

I don't think he's trying to run away from home. I think he's trying to rent a place for that girl.

- Who? - The café employee.

The high schooler who has no place to go because of the fire.

Why would he get a room for her?

It must bother him, I guess. You heard. He asked So-young and got rejected.

What, what nonsense!

He can't even take care of his own self, that fool! Give me the phone.

I didn't bring it.

Honey, where are you going? Where are you going?

Hey, honey, wait a minute. Listen to me for a second.

Honey, don't be shocked. The girl he wants to marry is that girl.

It's because he can't marry her right away, but he still wants to find her a place to stay, so...

Is that what he said to you? That he wants to marry that girl?

Yeah.

- He wants to what with a high schooler? - Well, since she will graduate in a few months.

How can he think of marrying a kid?

Well, it would be a marriage between kids since Joon-ki's a kid too.

And age isn't really a problem because you get older without any effort.

1, 2, and 3 years will fly by, just like that, and she'll become 19, 20, and then 21.

She's 7 years younger than Joon-ki. That's a good age difference from a guy's perspective, honey.

So you told him 7 years is a good age difference for a guy, did you?

No. I didn't say that.

Did you tell him to wait a bit longer, that dad would find a way?

Oh, why are you accusing an innocent man? I told him, no, never. That you would starve yourself

and faint, mourning the fact you'd borne a fool, and he shouldn't even dream of doing so.

I told him not to say crazy things. I laid it out for him real straight.

I know I can be silly sometimes, but do you really think I'm a fool?

Do you think I could accept an 18 year old daughter-in-law in this situation?

Oh my goodness, that was it? It was that girl?

Honey, I think that's burning.

I told you I'd turn it off. Did you burn it? Is it burnt?

Do you think that's the problem right now?

What is it? Do you have some good news or something?

No, why?

Then why are you smiling so much?

Oh. I'll tell you later.

Later. I'll tell you after we have pizza, watch the movie, and have lunch.

I can't wait that long. What is it?

What is it, huh? What is it, huh?

What is it, Joon-ki? Huh? Hm?

Come on.

You said you liked the villa near our café, right? At 5,000,000 won for 30, right?

- Yup. - Let's go rent it later in the afternoon.

I'll prepare 4,000,000 won for you. No, I've already prepared it.

You said you had 1,000,000 won, right? You fill up the remaining 1,000,000 won.

It's an empty space, so you can just move in right away today, right?

I don't want to.

Why?

I don't know when I'll be able to pay you back. I can't even make 200,000 in a month right now.

When will I pay back 4,000,000 won? It'll probably take me 5 years.

And in the middle of paying it back, I might get lazy and just run away.

How can you trust me enough to give me so much money? Joon-ki, you're kinda weird.

You don't need to pay me back.

Let's get married, Soomi.

You said your dream was to make bean paste stew for your husband and live happily ever after.

I'll make your dream come true.

Joon-ki

My family isn't rich but they'll probably get us at least a small apartment if we get married.

Joon-ki, is this a marriage proposal?

Yeah.

I'm proposing to you.

We haven't even dated, and you're asking me to marry you?

What were we doing all this time if not dating?

- We were dating? - You weren't?

- Was it dating? - What?

Hold on.

Yes, dad.

How'd you know?

It doesn't matter how I know. That's not important right now.

What are you collecting that money for?

You're not collecting funds to run away from home again, are you?

It's nothing like that, dad. I'm not gonna do that anymore.

He says no. I told you.

Then, you.. That..

Don't say anything else, and tell him to come home right away.

Yeah, your mother wants to speak with you so come home right now.

But I have work at 3.

Your mother wants to speak with you.

Tell the café something came up, and get here right away.

I'm not running away from home. Tell her not to worry.

I told her who the girl you want to marry is.

Your mother fainted for 15 seconds and got back up. And now she wants you home.

Am I gonna die if I go home right now?

- Hey, I'm here for you, remember? - What are you gonna do?

No, no.

In my opinion, anyways, you should get here right away,

and get on your hands and knees. That's probably the wisest way to handle this.

Get in here, right now! Right now, you hear?

Hey, your mother's really mad. Hurry home and beg for forgiveness.

What's wrong?

I need to go home. Withdraw 4,000,000 won with your 1,000,000 and get that apartment.

- No. - It's okay. Do it.

I like you, Joon-ki, but I don't know yet whether I love you or not.

And even if I did love you, I never want to owe you like this.

- Soo-mi. - I think there's something wrong with you.

Did we really date? If we did, then fine, let's say we did.

But, all of a sudden, saying "Get the apartment," "Let's get married"… I don't like it.

- Why not? - When are we getting married then?

- Soon. - How soon?

Leave it to me. I'll take care of everything.

- Did you even get your parents' permission? - I'll start getting it now.

I'm all alone, and I live off part-time jobs. I'm not even 20 yet, and you think they'll allow it?

Are you stupid or something?

My family is okay with that kind of stuff. They don't really care that much.

I don't love you, Joon-ki

I'm gonna marry a guy whose background is similar to mine.

I'm not so greedy that I'd go after a perfect guy like you.

Do you know why? It's because I know my place.

Soo-mi.

Why are you making me so sad? I hate being sad!

- Start by making a phone, okay? - It's not your business.

Stop misbehaving and listen to me!!!

- Baby, put on your seat belt. - Okay.

Don't worry since they say your digestive system has no particular problems.

And let's get you examined from head to toe starting next week, okay?

Either way, they're not gonna find anything wrong with you.

Just let yourself relax and you'll get better.

Baby, do you wanna go to the beach or somewhere with a great view for about 4 days?

- Stop by the pharmacy. - Why? What are you gonna get?

Just some strong digestive and nausea medicine.

Okay.

Is that doctor really famous? He's so lame. All he did was talk nonsense.

- What nonsense? - It's nothing.

- Did he look at you funny? - No, nothing like that.

Then what?

He asked me when the last time I went to a gynecologist was. Said I could be pregnant.

What kind of doctor says the same thing as Hee-myung?

That's what I mean.

- Joon-ki. - Yes, grandma.

I told your mother that I gave you 500,000 won.

Yes, so it was you.

I was worried that you might be thinking of something bad.

Not at all.

- Why are you back? - Oh, I just have something to do at home.

I'm back, dad.

Yeah. Go talk to your mother. She's probably in our room.

- Am I gonna die? - Nonsense. What parent kills their child?

I'm here, remember? It's me.

It's okay. Be bold. Okay?

Be a man.

Come on.

Honey.

Joon-ki's back.

Go in, go in.

Ahh!

Get over here, right now! Get back here!

What's the matter?

We only need one person running around with a stick, and that's Ho-shik. What's wrong?

I'm so upset and I'm gonna die, Geum-shil.

No one dies because they're upset.

Life is half full of bad days and half okay days. It's all half and half.

Just accept that.

Dad, you said it was gonna be okay.

Hey, I had no idea your mother was gonna be like that.

It's so cold. Hey, I don't even have shoes.

Just come 3 times. I'll make them as good as new.

Let's have lunch.

- I already have plans. - Really? With who?

Just plans. Want me to ask Chang-ho?

No. I'll just go back to the office and eat something there.

Eat with him. He's a good man.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

Doctor Ahn. Are you done?

Ah, yes. This is my older sister.

Ohh. Nice to meet you.

Oh, hi.

- My name is Lee Young-hyun. - Ahn So-young.

Go take off your gown and hurry up. I'll be waiting in front of the elevator.

Okay.

- Come on, So-young. - No, it's okay. I'm leaving.

Are you leaving with Sung-ki?

Yes, for lunch.

I heard you were a judge. You're pretty for a judge.

Then tell me, how's a judge supposed to look?

Oh, don't be offended by me.

Then, you're pretty for a doctor. I can say that too, right?

Oh, I'm not even close to pretty. Nowadays, there are a lot of good-looking doctors.

It's the same with the legal profession. There are a lot of good-looking people.

We've sure made some genetic improvements, haven't we?

We're going, mom.

I said we're going. We're leaving now.

Does that make you feel better then?

Madam, your guests have arrived.

They're here, they're here. Come in, come in, Doctor Ahn.

- Come in, Young-hyun. - Congratulations, Young-hyun!

- Oh, you've gotten so much prettier! - That's because she's dating, you heard.

Oh, don't get up. What are you getting up for? They're just kids.

There's no need for us elderly to get up.

It's because I'm old. I'm all confused.

I'm like that too.

Well, I wake up in the middle of the night, and think, "Who's this old man laying next to me?"

Hey, hey, everyone be quiet.

He could be your niece's husband. Don't embarrass yourselves at the first meeting.

We have our family tradition, after all.

- The biggest hoodlum's citing family tradition. - What's our family tradition then?

The Chinese characters for house and wind, so it just means house wind.

Oh, you're worse.

Fine, I'm worse.

Your mother is gonna foam at the mouth and faint!

That guy, he's the guy who made So-young a single mother.

- I'm the one with the parental rights. - You bastard.

Are you planning on using the kid as an excuse for ripping off my son forever?

Mom!

Yoo-jung doesn't even cook for you anymore?

Get your nose out of my family's business.

You guys didn't make up?

The main culprit is Yoo-jung.

It's hard for me too. You think it's easy for me?

Hee-myung has run away from home!

You guys should just get a divorce.

None of you are good enough. None of you.

I see why girls fall for you. It's because you act like this.

Judge Ahn's family?

They took the kid.

Oh my goodness.

Mommy will be back soon.

We've committed a terrible sin. Please forgive us.

You're so brazen for a girl who's had a baby out of wedlock.

- And what about what your son has done! - Stop it.

Why don't you call if you're so curious, Joon-ki?

Why is it so absolutely necessary to do this thing called marriage?

Don't you think that Hyo-joo is just like you?

Mom, mom.

I'm sorry. And I'm really grateful.

If you're interested in me, just say so.

You know, she wants to have a good relationship with you, mom.

Did you get her pregnant?

If that's what it is, you're gonna find my corpse floating in the pond tomorrow.

Do you relish the fact that we have no children that much, Yoo-jung?

So when do you plan on getting married?

Let's get married.

Get over here, come here!

I'm so upset and I'm gonna die, Geum-shil.

Doesn't it mean you're gonna marry her if you've even met her mother?

I'm so upset, I'm gonna go crazy! Mom, are you gonna act like this?

My aunts aren't even normal!

- Have you changed your mind? - About what?

I'm asking if you've changed your mind to get married.

What do you mean bombard? I haven't even started.

Mom!

I'm so embarrassed in front of Hyo-joo.

- Who gave birth to this kid? - I wonder who his dad is?

I guess if we have a baby first, you won't be able to do anything about it?

Hey, kid, what are you talking about? Are you trying to worry us to death?

- I can yell too, you know? - Fine, then yell!

How can she get more atrocious with age?

Even if you didn't settle with Young-hyun, you could find young, suitable girls…

Sis.

I find a woman's intelligence level to be the most important factor.

So you don't dislike me then, huh?

Doctor.
