[Family by Choice]

Why didn't you tell me Haejun was great at basketball?

I've heard that parents go crazy when their kids are lacking.

But who knew a parent could go crazy when their kids are incredible, too?

Can you face him every day while regretting not having sent him to America?

I'll follow that Ahjussi to America.

Mom was in an accident.

Sohui's dad, in the driver's seat, passed away.

What kind of shitty life is this?

You're the only one.

Sanha, can't you stay by your mom and Sohui's side?

What's keeping them?

Have you gone nuts?

Why?

What's going on?

Dad.

You told her you're going to America?

You knew about this, Dad?

About Kim Sanha going to Seoul, too?

Why Seoul?

Because of your mom?

Yes.

I was going to tell everyone after dinner when my dad got home.

I don't think he'll let you go easily.

Yes.

That's all?

He said he's leaving home!

You should be telling him how ridiculous that sounds!

Seoul's miles away!

Is America a joke?

You should be mad at them.

Has...

Has everyone gone nuts?

I'll...

I'll talk to her.

You should head down, too.

Haejun.

Sanha will make her understand.

She listens to Sanha.

Yes.

How could you make that decision alone?

That's why I came back to discuss this in person.

Isn't it more like notifying us?

You should've asked us before making a decision.

That's what families do.

You didn't even think about asking us, did you?

Since you have a real family.

Since we're not your real family.

Why are you bringing that up again?

You didn't even think about asking us since we're not your real family!

You don't care about us in the slightest right now.

You didn't even think about how my dad or I would feel

if you left, did you?

You only thought about your younger sister and Mom, right?

Can't I?

Is something wrong with me taking care of my younger sister and mom?

Both Kang Haejun and I will be 20 years old next year.

Naturally, our responsibilities will grow.

All right.

So, you're saying we're not included in your responsibilities.

I understand.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

Hey, Juwon! Open the door. Aren't you eating?

[Episode 9]

You can't. You can't go to Seoul.

I'll talk to your uncle. End of discussion.

But Haejun's leaving, too.

We're letting him go to pursue his dream.

But how can we let you go when it's obvious you'll suffer?

Just last week, Mom tried to kill herself twice.

You and I have both lost a loved one once.

How can I bear it if something happens to her?

You-

Let's say we turn a blind eye and ignore her.

But what if something happens to her?

You should eat before you go.

- I'll get going, too.- Sit down.

How much longer will you get to eat a home-cooked meal?

You're going to let him go?

I said sit down.

Eat up for now.

I'll pack some for Juwon separately.

This is all because of you, you know?

Keep building your karma with that mouth of yours.

Hey!

Mind your own business.

Damn it!

[Preparing ingredients][Mr. Yoon's Kalguksu]

Mr. Yoon! I'm here.

I bought some sagol* and 6 kg of loose bones!(Beef bone broth)

They're good items you can't get without connections like me.

Yes, thank you.

Give me a bowl of beef broth.

If you want to feed him tomorrow, you'll have to boil the broth all night.

Aigoo...

Gosh, nice.

Good, right?

Just think the kids went to college.

Who'd return to this hick town with a college degree?

You think they're just going to college?

They're returning to their own family.

Feed them the broth and send them off,

and you should forget them.

They might be someone else's kids, but you raised them for ten years.

It's natural to feel lonely after sending them off.

But they're leaving in the end.

I'm telling you so you don't wait painstakingly for their return.

What parent out there doesn't have heartaches while raising kids?

Goodness...

Why do I feel so sad?

When?

- Tomorrow.- That soon?

Hey!

Your brother is in the office submitting an application for Seoul National University.

And your other brother says he's pursuing basketball in America.

Weren't they going to attend Myungju University?

America?

It's okay! Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

I grew closer to my older sister after she went to college in Seoul.

That might be in your case.

Huh?

You're her real family.

We're not a real family. It's different.

I mean, you always said you're family, and I could see it, too.

I insisted that we are.

You all knew they weren't my real brothers.

Is this a surprise that only I wasn't aware of?

I heard you submitted an application to Seoul National University.

Have a good vacation, and I'll see you at school next year.

We'll stick together for six years.

I have to accept that we need to be apart for a little while.

The entire school knows you like Kang Haejun.

I heard he's going to America.

Such a distance is hard for me, too.

Don't you know the saying, "Out of sight, out of mind"?

Why is that so important?

If that's how you feel, you never liked him that much to begin with.

Go by yourself.

It's not something I can resolve by myself.

We both need to be present so she can feel better.

She even went to Seoul in case you were suffering by yourself.

You can't even make it to the 10th-grade classroom?

- Seoul?- Yes, Seoul!

Went to Seoul with whom?

Alone.

You let her go to Seoul alone?

Why are you telling me that now?

I'll go by myself, so stay out of this.

She left early? When?

Just now. About three minutes ago.

Eat this. Or you can give it to Haejun.

I'm only going to give this to him.

Why? Because I was told to!

Wait. Can't I just give this to Juwon?

Fine. I'll bid him farewell while giving him this.

We're close enough to do that.

Hey!

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

I asked you first.

I'm okay.

Be more careful.

Sorry.

These are our containers.

Juwon went home early.

She didn't eat before she left?

I'll take it.

I think you should eat this right away.

I heard you're going to America.

Yeah.

When?

From here?

I leave here tomorrow.

Since things turned out this way, you should confess your feelings.

What feelings?

Tell Kim Sanha how you feel.

And if I do?

He'll probably reject you.

But at least you'll have no regrets.

Am I not attractive?

No way!

You're smart, kind,

and you can keep a secret.

Kim Sanha and I both know you're a good person.

But you're his younger sister's friend.

Which makes you his younger sister.

How could that be...

I'm really sorry about that.

This will all pass.

Just wait and see. Some incredible man might appear in your life tomorrow.

"Kim Sanha?"

"Who's that?"

That's what you'll say.

Here.

See you around!

Don't let your mom stress you out too much!

Eat well, sleep well,

and be well.

I'm off.

Go!

Take care!

If he can't catch onto how I feel, he could at least stop smiling at me.

Why did he block the ball, then?

Do you feel better after eating these things?

No.

You're right.

I have no memory of my mom.

I saw photos of her, but I can't remember anything.

Even if the townspeople felt bad for me for having no mom,

I couldn't really understand why they felt that way.

Since I never thought not having a mom stopped me from

doing something or made me feel lacking.

Since Dad did everything for me.

Since...

it's only natural for the two of us to live together.

But then you guys showed up.

I loved it.

It used to be just the two of us eating.

But when there were five of us at the table,

even if each person only said a few words,

there was so much to talk about.

And I didn't have to go home to an empty house.

There were plenty of people telling me to eat.

Now, all of that feels natural.

I naturally thought we'd live like this forever.

When I return,

I'll do that.

Everything you want.

Can't you stay?

I'll come back on holidays.

If I can't make it,

I'll call you every day.

What use is that?

When I return,

I'll never leave again.

♫ As I've always done ♫

♫ I'll always be with you like my breath ♫

You're home?

What?

You used a fortune.

How did you know?

I used up my entire savings.

You have a rich dad now, is that it?

This is just pocket money now, huh?

Hey.

What?

What are you doing?

It's not like you're taking these to America.

Give them to me.

This, too.

What use do you have for them?

That, too.

Hey, this is something I used to use.

Just take good care of it until I return.

See? I'm giving you everything.

Are you coming back?

Pray that I don't come back, and I'll still return.

Why would I go through the trouble?

Hey, but this is a bit-

I need hair wax!

- Why do you need wax? Give it back.- Hey! Hey!

- Buy one in America!- I need it.

Eat American jelly!

They have a lot of delicious stuff there.

Why aren't you sleeping yet?

Why? You can't sleep?

Drink this tea.

All kids leave home when they're grown up.

How long could you live with me?

Even so,

I learned everything from you.

Bicycling,

shaving,

and basketball.

Shoot!

Whoa, he's good.

Right?

I never even taught him properly, but look at that clean form.

I guess he takes after his dad.

Of course.

Once I'm finished with school,

I'll return right away.

I'll make it big and return

to treat you and Juwon really well.

I'm not sending you there to make it big and return.

I'm sending you there to do what you want to your heart's content.

Don't try too hard over there.

Come back whenever if you think

you've done enough.

Okay?

All right?

Hey, just have some.

I feel better now.

♫ However, time is still ♫

♫ Never thought... ♫

♫ Everything is perfect prayer ♫

♫ Fire 'cause I cry ♫

Eat what I gave you.

You can have mine.

♫ Looking far ahead, I would feel her like that ♫

♫ How much I miss this ♫

♫ How much I miss this ♫

♫ Now it's time to forward beyond the sunrise ♫

Why? She's not answering?

I can just call her later.

Here.

Stash it away and use it when you need it.

Thank you.

What about me?

What money do you need when you're just going to Seoul?

Let's go. We'll be late for the train.

All right.

Always watch out for cars.

- And don't skip out on breakfast.- Okay.

Always turn off the light before sleeping.

And drink lots of water.

Ahjussi.

Go on.

Wear your seatbelts.

Drive slowly.

Call me when you guys arrive!

You were home?

I'm hungry. Give me food.

You still should've seen them off.

Seasoned cucumbers.

Rice.

- You mean you can still eat more?- Hey, hey.

Be quiet.

♫ One day, a precious memory ♫

See?

You already regret it.

If I say bye,

it seems like they're really leaving.

If I say goodbye,

it'll seem like we're really parting ways.

♫ We loved all those days ♫

♫ We were just young with our hearts racing back then ♫

♫ We were consoling each other as if arguing without knowing why ♫

♫ We probably didn't know what love meant ♫

♫ So we couldn't tell each other ♫

Thank you. Have a good day.

Yes, thank you.

♫ Words that always made us sad and worried ♫

♫ I'll tell you instead that I love you ♫

♫ That day when we met ♫

♫ From the day that you came to me in this world ♫

♫ We probably didn't know what love meant ♫

♫ So we couldn't tell each other ♫

♫ Every day, like that ♫

I'm going to sleep now.

Me, too.

The air in Seoul is so polluted.

I can't even breathe.

Don't copy me.

LOL.

I get to eat both drumsticks from now on.

♫ Holding onto the memories of our journey ♫

Aigoo, what on earth.

- Aigoo, watch out.- Hold him up.

Thanks.

Why? Did you think I'd offer you honey tea or something?

Why not?

Didn't you drink so you could feel awful?

Madam told me

to send the kids without expecting them to return.

That if they do well living with their birth families,

then it's all my blessings.

She's right.

If they live a good life with their birth parents,

it's my blessing.

But...

what if I miss them?

Sanha is my flesh and blood,

so he'll return eventually.

As for Haejun...

he will return even if we tell him not to.

He's going to correct his last name to Yang Heejun over there.

I never cared what his surname was until now.

People are so fickle.

I feel jealous now that I think about him changing his surname to his dad's.

He calls himself a dad?

He doesn't even know what Haejun likes or dislikes.

Why is that man his dad and not me?

Going through andropause?

Why the sudden dramatics?

Even if that man takes Haejun,

he'll never know what Haejun likes or dislikes.

I can tell by looking at his face.

Even if he took him when he was younger,

he's the type that would've neglected him.

Caretaking isn't cut out for everyone.

He hasn't even served in the military.

He knows nothing of this world.

How do you think he felt about leaving?

He probably left thinking it's better to suffer physically than emotionally.

Hey!

What do you know, Mr. Yoon?

He's my son!

Why wouldn't I know? I'm the one who brewed him jujube tea.

You should've brewed him jujube tea if he was your son.

"Type to neglect his child." Yeah, right.

You must've recognized it since it probably felt like you were looking in the mirror.

Darn it.

How do other parents live?

We can't be the only ones like this.

But why are we the only ones...

who keep feeling unusually empty?

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

Yoon Juwon!

- Happy birthday.- Oppa!

Ahjussi! Where's dad?

Happy birthday!

Hey!

Did your English improve any?

I have always been better at English than you.

- Dad!- You've gotten handsome.

Hey, happy birthday!

Okay. Thank you, thank you!

[Juwon's graduation]

[Congratulations on graduating! I'm always cheering for you!]Congratulations!

It's Kim Sanha!

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

Thank you.

Let's have a drink.

- Happy birthday!- Thank you. Thank you!

Take care.

[Kim Sanha: Happy birthday][Kang Haejun: Happy b-day]

Sorry, I was planning on visiting this year.

Happy birthday!

Sorry, Juwon. I'll visit on your next birthday.

[Dad: Daughter, what do you want to eat?]

[Year 2023]

What's the matter, Mr. Jeongjae?

Matter? What's the plan for your birthday?

Will you come in the morning or evening?

Birthday? Was it this week?

I knew it. It's this Thursday.

You should at least eat miyeokguk.

It's difficult to visit on a weekday.

What about the weekend?

It's harder on the weekends.

[Out picking cherries]Does Monday work?

Monday?

Okay, I'll go on Monday then.

Okay!

She's too busy to even talk now.

What? Do you expect me to prepare a royal feast with seasonal ingredients?

Are you a king?

King, my foot.

Even Dobby wouldn't be able to change a sock with this meal.

- Let's eat out for dinner!- No.

I'll prepare meat and japchae for Juwon's birthday in two days.

You can eat up then.

Here. Lav-spin-per-gar*.(Laver, spinach, perrila leaves, garlic stem.)

It's good if you eat them in that order. Make a wrap.

Another all-nighter at the store?

I just took a brief nap.

I told you to sleep at home.

I'll go to the courthouse today, so I think I'll end early.

I'll stop by the store a little past lunchtime.

I'm on my way to pick cherries at Madam's cousin's place.

It should take me about three hours.

You have the keys, right? Just go inside the store if I'm not there.

Okay. Oh, right. The part-timer at the convenience store told me.

Some weirdo keeps loitering around your store.

Some weirdo?

He wears a hoody, so you can't even see his face.

Anyway, he sounds really suspicious, so be careful.

No way. What's there to steal from my store?

Okay, I'll install a security camera if I need to.

The part-timer at the convenience store told me.

Some weirdo keeps loitering around your store.

I-I mean...

who leaves cash in the store these days?

C-Customers use the cards...

and even the ingredients are e-transactions!

You cheap bastard.

Stealing money is not enough, so you hit people, too?

Damn you!

[Out picking cherries]

You're bound to reveal your face in the end.

You messed with the wrong person.

Juwon. Juwon!

Dad!

- Ahjussi!- What happened?

Hello.

- Sergeant!- Hey.

Is she your daughter?

No.

He's the dad. I'm an ahjussi.

She's like a daughter to me.

Oh, "Like a daughter..."

Are you hurt anywhere? Did he hit you or anything?

Dad.

He slapped me in the face.

You son of a bitch-

You-

Is it you, punk?

- Is it you, punk?- Whoa, whoa!

Are you aware of your crime? Why are you hiding your face?

Let go! Do you have nothing else to do than to hit a woman, you punk?

You punk! You won't show your face?

I didn't hit her!

I never meant to hit her- Gosh!

See? You look perfectly normal-

Hey.

Haejun!

Dad.

Dad...

You- Haejun!

You're really Haejun, right?

Dad!

Dad?

Ahjussi! Ahjussi, I'm sad!

Yeah, okay.

Hey, you should've come home if you were back.

Excuse me, Sergeant. What should I do?

Oh, he's like a son to me.

"Like a son..."

Like a daughter and son...

Then these two are siblings, right?

If you're family-

We're not family.

Do you know me?

Yes, Professor.

Yes. I'll visit you before I start work.

Yes.

[Out picking cherries]

Yoon Juwon!

[Statement]You must listen carefully.

It's hard to prove an attempt at robbery,

but this is clearly trespassing.

He only attempted because I stopped him.

I stopped him from committing the crime, so why does he benefit from it?

No, that's not what happened.

That's why you should've contacted her all this time.

What about assault? Doesn't assault apply?

That was by accident while trying to run away.

You hit me more.

W-Where? Where did she hit you?

- Did she get you good?- Here...

Who are you worrying about right now?

Yoon Juwon.

Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Let me see.

Kim Sanha?

I'm fine.

You- You rascal.

Ahjussi. Dad, you were here.

And what are you doing here?

Let's not do this here.

Let's talk at home.

Is today some special day?

Y-Yeah, let's c-clear things up and-

W-Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait.

So, earlier,

these two...

called him "dad."

And he called you "dad."

These two are strangers.

Then what are you two?

The man who just arrived, you're not related to the victim, are you?

We're not related.

Yes, we're not family.

We just used to live together.

Aren't we strangers if we haven't seen each other for ten years?

How could you talk to your brothers like that, no matter how upset you were?

Why not?

They're not strangers.

Juwon's not wrong.

You didn't visit once for ten years.

Look. They grew so many gray hairs while you two never showed up.

They're old already!

I'm not!

Don't I have enough hair for my age?

Of course! It's still luscious and full of black hair.

I still called regularly.

You just never answered.

- Me?- You haven't called or texted for years.

I was discharged last week from the military, so I haven't got a phone yet.

- You what?- What?

I visited the store a few times over the week.

But when I thought about it,

I didn't even graduate from college

and quit basketball, too.

I didn't know what to say.

What about before the military?

You should've contacted me when you came to Korea.

I would've at least visited you.

You must've gotten leaves, too.

You could've called us, then.

I kept pushing it, and it got harder to do.

Forget it! Let's hurry up and go home. We'll talk at home.

Yes. Let's go home and talk since you must be tired.

I need to go to the store.

Why? Come with us.

She needs to clean up because someone made a mess.

Should I come with you, then?

It's fine. We met after ten years, so you should go home and catch up.

Yes, then. Clean up and come right away.

Let's go.

I'll see you at home.

I brought my car. Let me drop you off.

It's fine. You must be tired from driving. Don't bother.

I can just take the cab.

I'll see you later at home.

Hey, what's going on?

You're not hurt anywhere, right?

Nope.

Are you happy?

Why would I be happy?

Kang Haejun- I mean,

he's Yang Haejun now.

Your first love came back. Aren't you happy?

That was ages ago.

I can't even remember his face.

Why did you come back to the store?

I can just clean up here.

Your brothers came after ten years, which calls for a teary reunion.

We already had a teary reunion.

They were just different kinds of tears.

I'll finish cleaning up here so you can go home.

It's fine. Four hands will be faster than two.

You don't want to go?

It's not that I don't want to go.

It's not like I never imagined my brothers returning.

But...

But?

I'm not as happy as I thought I'd be.

- Why?- They're surely the Kim Sanha

and the Kang- I mean, Yang Haejun I know.

But they feel like strangers for some odd reason.

They smell a bit different, too.

Are you a dog? Why'd you smell them?

Ten years passed, you know.

Of course, you'd feel awkward and strange.

Even blood relatives feel awkward if you haven't met them for a while.

- Really?- Yes.

It's still the same.

Still the same, right?

Mr. Yoon didn't let anyone touch your room and Haejun's.

So, you two can come and sleep over anytime.

I came too late, didn't I?

All that matters is you came.

I'm a distant relative.

I'm the in-law's third cousin's niece.

I feel awkward to see my relatives after a long time,

but I'm really glad to see them.

Let's go.

All right. Here's your rice.

You, too.

There isn't much on the table, but let's start eating.

- Thank you for the food!- Yes.

Why? Weren't you going to eat that?

Yes.

Thanks.

If you had given me a heads-up about coming, I would've gone grocery shopping.

How is it? Is it to your liking?

It's so delicious that I can't stand it.

Eat slowly. Take your time.

There's a lot.

Gosh, you look great, Sanha.

You can get married now.

- You're not dating anyone?- Not yet.

A third-year resident doesn't have time to date. He barely gets any sleep.

- It's better than my first and second years.- Yes.

Let me think about this. Hey, did we have any beer at home?

Yes, we do!

What about mine?

You drink alcohol, too?

She's all grown up now. Think of her age.

All right. One for you.

- Juwon, too.- Yes.

- You, too.- Thank you.

- Dad.- Yes.

Allow me.

Man, it's just like ten years ago since we're all sitting together like this.

Since we all got together like this, let's make a toast.

- Cheers.- Cheers!

It's nice to see you.

What?

It's nothing.

[Attorney Dal]

- Yes.- Is it going well?

Not everyone can be an in-law's third cousin's daughter.

Did you ask when they're leaving?

Well, I'll need to ask now.

Tell them to visit your store before they leave.

Why? You said you don't even remember Yang Haejun's face.

Well, I mean...

I'm just curious.

Just wait for now.

The cherries are in season, so they taste great. Help yourselves.

You're right. They're pretty good.

- Aren't they good?- They're delicious.

Join us.

Did you two agree to come over?

- How did you two come together like this?- Seriously.

We decided to come together since it's Juwon's birthday.

Why for my birthday?

We plan to spend birthdays together from now on.

What does that mean?

Well, the two of us...

moved back for good.

We're not going anywhere now.

That's why we're here.

- What?- You aren't leaving?

We're really not leaving.

They aren't leaving.

Wow, my daughter's birthday will be a noisy one this year, right?

Who said you can?

♫ Like the flowery path ♫

♫ Everything existed for us ♫
