The number you have dialed...
It's me. You see Dr. Yu?
I gave him the address.
Hello?
Anyone here?
May I help you?
Um...
Huh? Mister!
Dabin.
You went to the campgrounds with him?
Yep. A tent and everything.
Oh? I bet you loved that.
Yep.
But Aram's nana is scary.
She got mad at Mom and the doctor.
I like Aram and her dad.
But not her grandma.
That's not very nice.
Here you go.
Nana.
Hm? Yes?
Aren't you going to tell Mom he's here?
I just called, but her phone's off.
Oh.
Come in. Wait inside.
No, I'm fine.
I made some tea. Come inside.
Thank you.
I'm sorry it's not much.
Not at all.
Please.
Thank you.
You, too.
'kay.
Here.
'kay.
Your teeth all better?
Yes.
He made my teeth all better.
You did?
Yes'm. He's a dentist.
Oh, I see.
Why didn't you bring Aram?
Oh. I left pretty early.
Then you missed lunch.
Yes.
Wait here. I'll see what I can whip up.
Please don't. I doubt I can eat until I see Inok.
Where are you?
You have a guest.
I got Mr. Han's message.
I'm outside. I'm coming in.
Mom.
Go on in.
The truth is...
Tell me later.
He won't eat till he sees you.
Go on, go.
Mom, Dr. Yu is here.
Dabin, want to go the store?
Here we go.
Inok.
Dabin, want to stay at my sister's house tonight?
She has bunnies and chickens and little chicks.
Really?
Sure. You like puppies?
Yep.
She's got five.
Wow.
When do we leave?
Let's go.
How can you treat me this way? Didn't you miss me?
Why did you shut off your phone?
My txts. Did you get them?
Yes.
Weren't you worried? About me?
What about your clinic?
What's that matter?
You should go.
Inok.
I'm sorry. I'm not ready to see you yet.
Ready? What do you need to be ready for?
To go back.
Back to when our children had the same school.
When we worked across the hall from each other.
Back to then.
We can't do that.
How could we possibly..?
It's that or nothing.
We'll never see each other.
You should go.
I won't.
Not alone.
Hyongi.
Not without you.
I'm staying right here.
Mom.
Dabin, you go on. I'll be right alone.
Yes'm.
Mom, don't do this.
It's over between us. I'm sending him away.
You know the best thing I ever did?
Marrying your father.
Our situations are different, I know that.
I was still seeing my late husband's family when I met your father.
Of course my family, his family, they all said the same thing.
But I made my choice.
I went to your father.
I won't say my situation was worse,
but it wasn't easier.
It's like I said.
It's not too late.
Ahem.
Welcome.
One moment.
- Miss. - Yes?
You're turn.
The doctor isn't in.
He's not?
No. He left this morning.
The piano school isn't open today either.
And Boram?
If she gets married, you think she'll give you Boram?
She'll keep him and that twit will be his dad, how about that?
He's your son. Why let some other man rear him?
Oh, jeez.
What you doing here?
I'm done for day.
And? You're leaving?
Yeah.
You're hardly ever here. Looking for another job?
Huh?
It's slow, but it'll pick up.
I'm off.
What's with him? He sick?
Next, the head.
And after that...
Ta-da!
- You like dinosaurs? - And robots.
You like robots?
May I help you?
Hello. I'm Boram's dad.
Yes, hello.
Boram, your dad is here.
Daddy!
Let's look at you.
I'm not going anywhere.
Hey, Boram.
Thank you. Come again.
I'll clean up. Get Boram while it's slow.
The nursery closes at six. I should find a night school.
Like you don't miss him enough as it is?
What can I do?
What else?
Make lots of money and hire some help.
Okay.
Hello.
Boram's father picked him up.
His dad?
When?
Oh, 30 minutes ago.
Look at this. Arrgh.
Boram, don't feel like playing?
Hey. Boram...
Daddy.
Hang on.
Boram.
Eat. I want a word with your dad.
Is he going again?
Eat up.
I just wanted to see him.
But Boram wouldn't let me go.
I told you.
You can't see him until the divorce is final and your mother accepts that fact.
Why did you go there?
Am I a joke to you?
Not at all.
I just missed him.
Poor girl.
What girl?
Seungi, don't get married right away.
What? Hurting me wasn't enough?
You need to ruin another girl's life?
It's not like that.
It's not? You're not marrying her?
Ah, the player at work.
Only now you're promising marriage, too.
Mirim.
Eager to be sued for breach of promise?
What is this? What did I do wrong?
I just wanted to see my son.
You've got a guy, too.
Can't I see a girl if I want?
I never said you couldn't.
I'm just saying be faithful.
I'll be fine, you look after yourself.
One failure is enough. Don't make it two.
Don't worry.
He's completely different from you.
What?
This is your last warning.
Don't see Boram without my permission.
If I do?
I'll tell him what you're like.
All the things you did, how you treated me.
All of it.
A player, a worthless, ugly, stupid user.
If that's the father you want to be, suit yourself.
"Drinks are on u tonight."
I needed comforting the last time.
Now it's your turn.
I was upset and wouldn't say why.
Now I know how you felt.
I wanted to talk to you.
Yeah? Go ahead.
First I've got to take back what I said before.
About how I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a total jerk.
Trust me, I am.
Why do you say that?
Pak Mirim.
My ex.
I thought I really did wish her the best with her new guy.
But I don't.
Why?
You got jealous... and told her to break up with him?
No, but I felt like it.
So you still care for her.
If I said otherwise I'd be lying.
Not TOO blunt.
I have no reason to lie to you.
And I don't want to.
You want to get back together with her?
No.
If I did, would I have used you to get my mom to leave her be?
Then...
If you still care, why don't you want to?
I've hurt her enough.
Any more and I really would be no better than an animal.
So you're leaving her...
because you care.
And you really used me?
I'm sorry.
You should be. I'm a person.
A person that truly loves you.
I was a fool.
I should just get up and storm out.
And here I'm just loving you that much more.
Sit. Let's talk.
If you're not eating, just go.
Inok.
Go. I've said all I have to say.
I'm not going alone. You're coming with me.
Why should I?
Inok.
Get this in your head.
I'm not marrying you.
So why would I go with you?
Get out.
Inok.
Come back.
We can talk.
I'm begging you, come back.
And I'm begging you.
Please leave.
How many times do I have to say it?
I can't go alone. I won't.
You'll catch cold.
Come in.
This isn't my house.
She reared me as her own, but we're not blood.
So you can't sleep here.
Leave before it gets too late.
Then come with me. We'll go together.
I won't. I can't.
Why can't you?
Don't you know? Truly?
When just seeing you...
Hurts... so much it's killing me...
How can I go with you?
How?
I didn't know I had it in me. Queen of Sales.
I'm the top salesperson.
Sleeping here again?
Yeah. Sorry.
Don't be. Just find a place.
I can sleep anywhere, it's okay.
Night.
Goodnight.
- Yuri, hey. - Hey Yuri.
So it's true. You're sleeping here?
What do you want?
Like you don't know? Why don't you pick up?
Cause I work all day.
Whatever. Let's get trashed.
Trashed?
To celebrate your job.
We did that already.
That was your birthday.
Knock it off.
Pretty hot, huh?
Oh, she got it ALL.
Take it off.
There's lots here. You won't miss it.
Do what you like but don't hurt others.
Like with my friend's mom...
What's she saying?
No clue. I'll take this.
Give it.
This isn't my stuff or my store.
Jin Boknam.
Thanks for the reference.
My treat when I get paid.
But for now, just go.
You can't do us this way.
We're your friends.
Whatever.
Take it.
Hey, I'm calling the cops.
What?
Little Boknam is growing up.
- What a loser. - No kidding.
Jin Yuri.
You sleep here?
What is it?
Are you hurt?
How did you know I'm here?
Who were those kids?
Were they the ones at my studio?
Get up. We're going home.
No.
I'm not going anywhere.
Just go.
Get up.
I said no. No way.
Ouch.
Let's see.
Come on.
Did they do this?
Did they?
Come on.
Ouch.
Out.
The hospital it is.
Ouch.
Just take me to the terminal.
Go.
Ouch.
You need a doctor. Before it gets infected.
I won't die.
Yuri.
I don't like hospitals.
No one does, but you need one.
Sleep...
Let me sleep.
"Back at the studio?"
"Yuwon Bldg #302."
Don't go.
Don't do this.
I'm still yours.
I can't do anything without you.
How can I live like this?
How can I?
Marry me.
Let's get married.
You know we can't.
You know we shouldn't.
Why look in an empty room?
You see a ghost? Why are you so jumpy?
He doesn't come home, doesn't call.
I told you he sent me a txt.
That's you, not your mother or me.
He knew I'd tell you.
Aram, are you done?
Princess Aram, you've got to eat.
Not hungry?
She's a kid. She'll eat if she's hungry.
Don't be insensitive. Kids have feelings too.
Right, Princess?
Answer your uncle, sweetie.
Leave her.
She just misses her dad, that's all.
She's just a kid.
You heard Seungi.
Kids have brains. They have eyes.
Not if you don't blab in front of them.
Remember what I told you?
Your dad went to the country to help treat an old couple.
Liar. You always lie.
Aram.
At least have water.
You saw Hyongi yesterday.
Did you ask where he went?
How could I?
He ran off like his tail was on fire.
Why did you have to fight? If you kept your temper...
Hey, you think I wanted to?
A parent hears is son insulted, he has to do something.
Parents, kids, what a pain.
You're telling me.
I've nearly got four.
Nearly? Four is four.
If I had only known.
I never would have had one.
Not a one.
Mom, I'm sitting right here you know.
Just as well.
Wake up Mingi.
Enough of this night owl stuff.
Get him up.
Mingi didn't come home last night.
He didn't?
The door was open.
Still sleeping?
Mom, look...
Let me explain.
Explain at home.
You go on. I'll be right there.
Open the door.
Mom.
Don't leave me standing here. Open it.
You must want to kill your poor mother.
Mom, it's all true.
I didn't leave anything out.
Trust me.
I would if I could.
But not a word of it makes sense.
Think about it. Would I date her?
You know I'm not the type.
I nearly passed out when I saw her in my trunk.
I've been trying to get rid of her ever since.
But yesterday, I couldn't just leave her.
If I kicked her out they might hurt her again.
So I took her home.
It was my idea. I did it.
Still, sleeping together?
Who's sleeping together?
I stayed in case they came to find her at the studio.
So what now?
She going to keep living there?
No, she can't, but...
I know you have a good heart.
But it doesn't look good, her living there.
What will people say?
I don't care what they say.
And why not?
You want people to say you're living with some girl?
Be patient.
I'll work this out.
Hyongi didn't come home last night.
Hyongi?
I don't know what to do anymore.
Try to behave or you'll drive me to an early grave.
All right.
I'm sorry.
Grandpa.
Did you have fun today?
Yes.
Father, I'm home.
Nice to see you.
You must be tired. Get some rest.
Yes.
Dabin, let's get cleaned up.
'kay.
I told you to get some rest.
After we eat. You need something?
Just some water.
Okay.
You come back together?
No.
He didn't go?
He did.
Dabin and I came back alone.
Why?
I told you.
I'm not marrying him.
Inok.
Here.
Oh. All right, if you must.
Don't worry about me. Enjoy yourself.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. It's just a trip.
I'll take you next time.
All right.
Now excuse me. Lots to do before I leave.
Of course. Off you go.
Wait. Sit.
Where did this come from?
I have no idea.
None?
This is the first I heard of it.
He didn't say anything to you?
Nothing.
You know he doesn't tell me anything these days.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For going alone? For buying your ticket?
It's okay. You've been like this for a while.
Sinyong.
What should I do?
You won't be here.
Not just a few days, for a month or more.
I can't stay here.
You want to leave?
I don't want to. I have no choice.
With you here at least I can breathe.
With your mom, I can't breathe at all.
How can I stay here?
I see.
You should go.
Do what's right for you.
One more thing.
After you come back, shall I move in?
Or stay gone?
Whatever's right for you.
You saw this coming?
You sure sound like it.
What should I say?
Stay here and wait for me even those it's killing you?
Should I force you?
Aren't we engaged?
I thought we were.
I see.
I'll take care of myself, don't you worry.
Let me know if you need something for your trip.
Why are you going anyway?
I told you. Iceland...
No other reason?
Okay, I'll trust you.
Is it me? Is that why he's leaving?
You know how dangerous it is or him to travel alone.
It frightens him as well.
He must have a reason for going.
And it's not you.
I don't understand you.
How are the two related?
Jin hasn't changed toward you.
Not his love for you, not his plans to marry you.
But something else has changed.
He just needs time.
You, me, his mother, we all need to give him time.
Time to come back to us.
He can't do that here?
He has to go far away?
I don't have the answers.
But he'll want you here when he gets back.
I believe that.
I hope you will be, too.
I'm home.
Hey. Dinner?
I ate.
Inok didn't open the school today?
Mm. She stayed home all day.
That's not good. Uh-oh.
She'll snap out of it. She's strong.
He should have won her over, driving down there and all.
He just gives up and lets her run off?
I doubt he wanted to.
He's hurting as much as she is.
She should just get on with her life. Is that so hard?
I'm giving up the school.
Inok.
I can't stand seeing him every day.
But to quit your job...
Songhi, it's hard to let him go.
It hurts too much.
Inok.
I won't get on with my life.
My heart won't listen to me.
I don't trust myself.
Sitting at home all day will be worse.
If I did nothing, yes.
But I'll be teaching here like I used to.
You'll lose lots of students.
About half, I think.
What then?
What else?
You earn more. Pay a bit more to the household.
And to your father.
What is it?
Okay, here's the thing.
I couldn't tell Dad, it might kill him.
I lost all of Dad's pension.
I invested it and now it's gone.
I'm sorry.
Hyongi.
You left yesterday. Where did you sleep?
The clinic.
The clinic?
Dad said he didn't see you today.
I went out after I woke up.
Where were you all day?
You okay?
Mom and Dad?
Listening at doors like a cat burglar?
Hyongi's home.
Huh?
I'm home.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
What for?
If you don't want to call...
Dinner? Have you eaten?
No. I'm not hungry.
You can't starve.
Well? Chop-chop.
He's not hungry.
- He's still got to... - Dad!
There's my girl.
I'll put her to bed.
What?
You didn't ask him anything.
What's there to ask?
The look on his face says it all.
He's lost half his mind.
If not all of it.
Wherever he went...
it didn't work out.
You went to Busan.
Not Busan. The country.
The country? Why?
To see someone.
Who?
Aram, I'm tired. I'll explain later.
Go to sleep, huh?
No. You talk. I'll listen.
Want me to read you a story?
Sure.
Who was it?
The street is clean again today.
Who has been cleaning the street?
There's the old elephant man's scarf...
I'm closing the school.
It will take some time, though.
We're bound to run into each other.
That's why I asked you here.
So it's not as uncomfortable.
I don't want that.
There's a poem.
Let's part well.
Smiling like flowers.
Singing like birds.
So we should part.
Let me lean on you.
Thank you. Truly.
Hyongi?
He should be with you.
He has to be there first.
He's not there? He left work?
He left and didn't come back again.
Mother.
Huh?
Isn't that Mirim?
Mirim.
It's easier to deposit in your account.
But I don't know the number.
Mirim.
Thank you for everything.
You've given me so much.
I'm sorry to let you down.
I can never pay you back.
But I'll never forget.
You sound like this is goodbye.
I'm sorry.
We may meet again someday.
But not anytime soon.
Why are you saying this?
Seeing you and your husband...
It wouldn't be fair to the man I'm seeing now.
I'm sorry.
What's done is done.
She's getting on with her life.
Forget her.
I can't.
What else can you do?
Plenty of pepper.
Not as good as Mirim's, but close.
Thanks.
Enjoy.
What is it now?
There's no reason for you to be here.
Mirim?
At the courthouse with Seungi.
The courthouse?
Yes. The waiting period is over.
The divorce is final.
Didn't you know?
Now it's over.
May I see Boram now?
Once a week.
Got it.
I'm going.
Mirim.
I'm sorry.
You did what?
What kind of man are you?
You happy now?
That's not what I mean.
What kind of father are you?
Abandoning your own son?
Hun, let's talk it over.
Owie, not me.
Seungi, look, look, my shoulders broken...
What a life.
Are he and Songhi really...?
He wasn't just playing...?
You happy now?
You had to pour salt in her wounds? What were you thinking?
I didn't mean to.
Then what did you mean to do?
She keeps bring up the guy Mirim's seeing.
I said to let Mirim get on with her life.
And let me get on with Songhi.
Songhi?
You're serious about that?
About what?
You're thinking about marriage?
Why don't you answer?
Well...
Well what?
I want to. But Songhi doesn't.
Mom.
After she bowed to me and all?
About that...
Hush. Bring her by tomorrow. We'll set a date.
Mom.
The bow was a show, too?
You're so busted.
Dad.
Seungi.
Where you going?
I'm off work today.
Let's do something.
You miss my txt?
"Thanks for everything."
"Mom got the message. You're on your own." That one?
Yeah. So what do you want?
I told you. I'm off today and want to do some...
Go away.
You hate me so much?
What you said, our time together.
None of that was real?
Seungi.
For me, see, chicks are just fun.
Like I said.
Fun?
So it was all just a game?
I see.
Just a show. For fun.
It wasn't a game.
I don't hate you.
But I'll never marry you. Not in 100 days, not in 1,000.
Let's end it here.
Why?
Why never?
Cause of Mirim? You still...
No. It has nothing to do with her.
Well?
Answer me. Why never?
Tell me.
- Um... - Wait here.
Daddy, who's she?
