(Episode 14)

Thank you.

Don't mention it. You fell because of me.

I should apologize.

I understand why you got the wrong idea.

I was told not to get involved and do what was asked of me.

The head of my team did tell me that.

I forgot that again.

- It sounds like you don't know. - Pardon?

Our company doesn't want employees who only do what they're asked.

I see.

- Anyway, I proved it, right? - Sorry?

I didn't cry when my eyes were smeared with makeup that day.

Right.

Why do you still look doubtful?

No, that's not it.

I should have just taken your word for it that day. You seem bothered.

That crossed my mind.

Just take my word for it?

- I'm telling you the truth. - Yes, that's right.

- I believe you. - You don't believe me, do you?

I really admire honest people,

but shouldn't you...

be more flexible when it comes to your honesty?

Right. I'm sorry.

Would you like to go for a second round?

I'll bring you to a nice place.

Today isn't our only day. Let's take it slow.

But we met after 40 years.

I feel terrible to finish the night with just soju and ramyeon.

I thought it would taste like those we had in the army when I ordered,

but that ramyeon back then was to die for.

You can't forget about it even in your dreams.

When I had a terrible flu back in the old days,

you took my night-watch shift for me...

and cooked me ramyeon.

- Did I do that? - Yes, you did!

I licked the bowl clean without leaving a drop of soup.

- Do you not remember? - I don't know about that.

But I do remember you writing love letters every night.

Right.

Your wife...

is the same woman in the photo that you hung in your locker, right?

Goodness, I must have gotten it wrong.

No.

After...

bringing a daughter into this world,

she passed away.

- Poor lady. - I thought about following her,

but I met my current wife, lived, and laughed.

I'm managing it somehow.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said that.

No, I don't have anyone else to talk about these things.

Goodness, you worked hard to live a good life.

Seriously. I had no idea that I would ever run into you.

You remind me of my old days.

I came into the world

as a man

- There are lots to do in this world - There are lots to do in this world

I should return this to them tomorrow.

Goodness.

Her clothes...

What she was wearing got dirty,

so I put her in some clothes that I had.

Some clothes that you had?

She looked really shocked.

Is she all right?

Grandma.

Grandma.

Ms. Heo.

I followed her around thinking she lost her mom, but I guess not.

Give me 10 yogurt drinks, please.

Sure.

The girl should be thirsty.

She's been crying the whole time. She cried a lot.

By the way, her outfit is so pretty.

That's expensive, right?

I could spot her right away even from a distance.

- Dad is late tonight. - What?

Dad might not have said anything, but he must have missed him.

I haven't seen him that happy for a long time.

Right.

By the way, how could he be the father of that family next door?

Sometimes, the universe works in funny ways.

- Are you going somewhere? - Yes.

I'm going to see Yi Yoo come home.

I took something to cover up since it gets chilly at night.

- Give it to me. I'll go. - No, no.

Gi Ppeum is alone. You should go upstairs and tuck her in.

- Honey. - Are you just getting home?

It's like we could communicate through telepathy.

Let's go in.

Whenever I walk into the alley,

do you get a signal or something?

- Did you drink a lot? - No.

I just had a good time while drinking.

I wanted to go for a second round.

But Sergeant Park wanted to drink again later.

He's an upstanding man.

I know that you're flustered.

It would've been great if there wasn't that unfortunate incident.

But let's try to get along, okay?

Let's talk tomorrow.

You're drunk now.

I ran into Sergeant Park.

I can't believe this.

My goodness.

I heard the conversation earlier.

Are they discussing Jun Seung's marriage...

with the neighbor's daughter again?

Then what's going to happen to my baby now?

I have to show my mom that I'm doing well...

and living a happy life at Jun Seung's place.

My father-in-law moved into our place,

so everything will be fine.

Don't worry too much.

I'm really worried.

When Mother sets her mind to do something, she does it.

You must stay strong for your baby to be at ease.

He only looks at you.

You can't be this weak.

Hey, Chi Woo.

Make some warm honey water. Hurry up.

Is Father here?

Of course. Why else would I rush you like this?

Make it good. Hurry. Quick!

Okay.

I want to just wash up and rest. Why do you insist I drink honey water?

I told you that it's acacia honey from this spring.

You haven't had soju in a long time.

Drink up the honey water, and get some good rest.

We can chat a little too.

- Father, you're back. - Yes.

Father, is it true?

Are you really like a lifesaver to President Choi from Hansoo Group?

Gosh, I'm sorry for this hassle.

Not at all, Father. Please enjoy.

- Thank you. - Mom said...

that President Choi is hugely indebted to you.

Did you lend him money back in your military days?

What is he talking about now?

Were you writing a novel or what?

What are you talking about? I only told him what I saw and heard.

The cost of living has gone up so much in the past 40 years.

Even if we just consider the interest...

Gosh, honey. How much would he owe us if he borrowed 1,000 dollars?

Money isn't the issue.

He met his lifesaver again after four decades.

He should do everything his lifesaver asks him to do.

Is the baby doing all right?

Has his mom had dinner yet?

- Yes, she has. - Gosh.

Don't change the topic.

What did President Choi say?

Didn't he say he was too harsh on Jun Seung?

He probably regrets it now after knowing Jun Seung is your son.

Mom, seriously. Are you thinking Jun Seung has another chance?

Didn't he say we should reconsider their marriage?

He must be dying to be your in-law.

We should make sure Eun Joo eats something nutritious.

Honey, why are you being like this?

Why do you keep bringing her up? Let's not ruin this happy day.

Why are you so excited?

I couldn't even face him because I was too ashamed.

I felt so bad...

that I couldn't tell him how happy I am to see him again.

Why are you making such a fuss over it?

My goodness, honey.

He even teared up because he was so happy about meeting you again.

Why are you being so negative?

Don't be like this. Try to ask him what he thinks.

Find out how he feels about Jun Seung.

Tell him that he has no reason to hesitate...

if he wants the two of them to get back together.

Bring it up first, and get the conversation going.

We have a newborn in the house. You'd better not say that again.

This is your last warning.

I should head over to my room.

What? What do you mean?

The baby threw up on me,

so I put on clothes that she had.

She had kids' clothes?

Yes, clothes in Christmas colors.

It was red and green,

but Grandma got mad at me and told me to get changed quickly.

That was because Grandma was thrown off.

She was so worried because she thought you went missing.

But why didn't you pick me up today, Daddy?

Why didn't you pick me up?

I was too busy today.

I'm sorry.

Get some sleep now.

I'm really sorry about earlier.

I know that Gi Ppeum wanted to go to your place...

and that you left a note on our gate.

I only found out about it later.

My grandmother was harsh on you because she had been so worried.

I sincerely apologize.

I'm fine, so please don't worry about it.

Seriously? Grandma didn't know about the note she left...

and slapped her in the face?

Grandma, I get that you were extremely worried,

but why did you do such a thing? I feel so bad now.

I should explain what happened to Sergeant Park.

No, we should apologize to his daughter-in-law, Dad.

That's enough. Eat your breakfast, Yi Yoo.

This is important.

She was the first person who told us about her brother-in-law.

Why are you speaking so fondly of her?

Regardless of what happened, she did worry your grandma.

Your grandma is upset, so let's stop talking about it.

Still, if we don't apologize to her,

Grandma will be so uncomfortable.

I'll meet her and explain everything.

She'll probably understand.

I don't understand why things keep happening with that family.

I still can't fall asleep whenever I think about that jerk.

I can't believe Jae Hak is indebted to that jerk's father.

Goodness, I can't even hate him now.

I'm sorry, Mother.

He did so much more than just helping me out here and there.

Once, I fainted while standing guard...

and almost froze to death, but he saved my life.

Also, he always got me snacks.

He even gave me money for bus fares whenever I left for vacation.

The list goes on.

I get what you're saying,

but we can't pretend as if nothing happened.

Yes, I moved all the consultations in the afternoon to next week,

and I received all the electronic copies of the complaints you sent.

Jun Seung, by the way, where are you staying now?

That brat, did he hang up?

He seemed to be trying to focus on work,

but he's emptied out his entire schedule for today.

Honey.

Then let's call it a day too.

Working two jobs is so exhausting.

We should take this chance and get some rest.

Shall we?

Yes, let's skip work and go out to have some fun.

Who says only he can miss work whenever he wants to?

Right, it's not fair.

But the problem is that we may lose this job forever if we do that.

Gosh, come on. Let's go out, honey.

1km in the southeast direction from Ulleung Island

There's a lonely island, which is a home to many birds

Enough, okay? Or I'll send you to a home of many stars.

Gosh, I want to go to Ulleung Island and eat spicy raw fish soup.

I'll slap down a shot of soju while enjoying the chewy raw fish.

Then there's the slightly frozen broth.

I'll throw in some noodles and stuff my face with them.

Then I'll have rice with sea urchin roe at the end.

Honey, rice with sea urchin roe.

Oh, my. Here it comes. Rice with sea urchin roe.

Honey.

Hi, Mom.

You should come home now.

Why? Did something happen?

What? It's urgent?

All right, see you.

Do you have something urgent to take care of?

What? Oh, you don't need to know.

My gosh.

What is happening here?

What's gotten into you?

I cleaned the shampoo area,

and I even cleaned the mirror, so we're all good, right?

Yes, it looks good.

But I just asked you what is going on.

I have to go out. Have a good dinner!

Gosh, what happened to her overnight?

She's 32 now, so it's about time she became mature.

But she's never done such a thoughtful thing before.

Do you really think she was being thoughtful?

She'd better be.

I was wondering why she looked so radiant this morning.

I guess she's finally becoming mature.

Mr. Lee.

I think that you should mentally prepare yourself.

- For what? - Mr. Lee.

You've been through this a few times now.

There's always a reason whenever she does something nice.

Didn't you think it was odd that she kept chuckling all day long?

Plus, she was obedient today.

I think something big is coming.

I'm getting a bad feeling.

Stop making such ominous remarks.

Gosh, you startled me.

They say there's a maximum amount of trouble one can cause.

Do you know how much that saying comforts me?

That brat has been causing so much trouble for 20 long years...

starting even before she entered middle school.

It's finally time for her to stop, so say no more nonsense, please.

I'm going to finish warming up my voice before Dong Geon arrives.

I'm Im Joo Ah.

I'll make sure that I can breathe life...

even into words that seem lifeless.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Who's calling?

(Don't Pick Up)

Hello?

Ms. Im, you're way behind on your payment schedule.

Seriously. I told you I'd pay you back this week,

so stop harassing me.

Stop being like that. I'll lend you 5,000 dollars more.

At least pay off your interest with that.

I don't want it!

I'll pay you back as soon as I receive my bonus.

I'll soon receive a new apartment and a million-dollar contract.

How dare he kill my mood with these phone calls?

Mom!

Does she own a jet or something?

That was fast.

Are you in your room?

Why on earth didn't you answer me?

Is Joo Ah in trouble again?

Is Joo Chul ill?

Gosh, sit down first. Catch your breath, and eat.

How am I supposed to do that...

when you said there's an emergency?

Feeding you is urgent to me.

That witch of a woman got the best of me,

and I felt terrible for kicking you out like that.

Your mother-in-law kicked you out of the house,

and I did nothing but the same.

I made your favorite, bulgogi,

so eat up. There's also a rolled omelet.

I only had over-fermented kimchi,

so I made some new ones.

I hope it's tasty enough.

Did you call me over to cook me a meal?

Yes.

I knew you'd only come...

if I told you that something happened.

Now, eat up.

Eat what you want when your siblings aren't here.

This is all for you today.

Eat up already.

Those who are slow to eat at the table are most annoying.

Here.

All right.

You should eat too.

I ate quite a lot while seasoning the food,

so I'm quite full.

The eggplants are nice and moist.

Have some.

You need to eat well.

There.

What's with the tears?

A stranger will think that I was an evil step-mother.

Well,

I did have it rough.

I was always told to yield to Joo Ah and Joo Chul.

Of course I cared more for those two.

How can you compare to the kids I gave birth to?

That would be a lie.

I was only joking.

You didn't favor them that much.

Of course I did. I know myself.

Mom.

Eat up already.

Bulgogi is best when it's warm.

You know,

you care about me this much,

but I dared to think otherwise.

There's this old lady.

She was enraged when she thought she had lost her grandchild.

It made her slap this other person.

The slap itself must've really hurt,

but I thought to myself...

that the grandmother's love for her grandchild was powerful.

Were you envious?

Did you wish to have parents and siblings...

you were related to?

I'm an animal, aren't I?

That must be it.

I took in an animal and raised it for 33 years.

Darn it.

I worked my butt off to raise you,

but I guess biology always wins.

Mom.

I'm not your mother.

Why would you call me that?

Exactly. I must've gone crazy.

Why would I think of other people when I have a mom...

who cooks me a feast like this?

I'm sorry, so forget I said anything.

Look for them.

Seek them out.

You may laugh in front of me,

but I always thought...

how sad you'd be...

and how empty you'd feel inside.

I'm still your mother, you know.

No,

I'm going to live my entire life as your devoted daughter.

I'm the one who's curious.

I'd like to meet your family too.

I want to brag about how well I raised you...

and get credit for it, so look for them.

You didn't come to pick me up at the airport.

Are you that busy?

Should I stop by the office?

I don't intend to meet you,

so conduct your business, and leave.

For someone who's probably outraged,

he's keeping things cool.

But I came to Korea to see you.

Also, I have no intention of leaving anytime soon.

There's a reason for us to call it human nature.

You and your parents both probably want to find each other.

Don't worry about me,

and follow your heart.

I should give Gi Ppeum's clothes back.

I'm sorry for coming by so late.

I just thought I should give this back quickly.

I even washed it.

I see. Thank you.

Why don't you sit down with us?

We're sorry about yesterday,

so please stay for some tea.

No, it's all right. I should get going anyway.

Could I get my clothes back too?

Your clothes?

Yes, Gi Ppeum's clothes were dirty,

so I put her in some of my old clothes.

Actually...

Our housekeeper made a mistake while washing them.

- I'm terribly sorry. - Pardon?

The clothes were old, so they kind of fell apart.

Still, she should've been careful.

I'm terribly sorry about this.

No, it's all right.

Can I still get them back?

I'm sorry.

They were in such a mess...

that she took them out in the trash.

In the trash?

Those aren't even our clothes. She should've asked you first.

I know.

My goodness. I feel horrible.

If you tell us what they look like,

we'll buy you at least something similar.

What were they? Can you describe them?

It's all right.

I'll do it. I know what they look like,

so I'll got out and buy some tomorrow.

No, there's no need for that.

Again, I'm sorry for showing up so late.

Could the world be any crueler?

I finally made a big decision...

to try and find my birth parents,

but I lost my old clothes.

- What? - Here you are.

Hello.
