Childless Comfort - Episode 20
- Here you go. - Thanks.
- It snowed a lot. - Yes it did.
I would love a cigarette right now.
You always want cigarettes, it's been so long since you quit.
I never quit, I'm just resisting them.
There are times when I want it so bad, but I'm just patient.
It's cold, go on inside.
Hurry and come in.
You're up.
- It snowed mother. - Really?
- They said it would snow. - It snowed a lot.
Want me to open it?
- You'll get cold. - It's alright, open it.
Open it some more.
- The snow finally came. - That is enough.
- It won't be cold. - Yes.
Oh no, look at that.
There was a fire?
What about all those people?
They are all people who are having a hard time.
- It it in the country? - A dorm.
Was it a big fire?
- No one was hurt? - The whole building caught on fire.
No one has died.
Get in.
You're so lucky you weren't severely hurt.
You could have been severely hurt.
Or you could have been trapped in there.
- Did you inhale a lot of smoke? - The doctor said I would be ok.
- I couldn't bring the laptop. - You're worried about that?!
Be thankful you're even alive.
You think God saved me?
Yes he did.
What the hell?! How will I love?
I was on my way to the bathroom.
And there was a weird smell.
It was like plastic burning.
I saw the smoke coming up the stairs.
And someone was yelling fire, and everyone was running around.
I went in my room to get some belongings and my cell phone.
I had some water in my room.
I got this jacket, and I was falling down the stairs.
As I came outside,
I peed... on my self.
- It didn't smell? - No, hurry and eat.
- I paid my rent yesterday. - That's not important, eat.
I feel crazy.
Why am I alive? I'm like a beggar.
Yes mom.
I heard you borrowed grandpa's car.
Where did you go?
What about your friend?
What?! Was he hurt?!
What a relief.
When will you come home?
Be careful and drive safe.
The dorm where his friend lives caught on fire.
Your father saw it on the news.
- It was on the news? - It was on earlier.
It was a dorm.
I see.
They need to be careful.
In the winter there are a lot of fires.
Yes, it's dry and people use the boiler.
- Good morning grandma. - Hello.
Joong-gi's friend's dorm caught on fire.
He's not hurt, he took grandpa's car and left.
His friend that lives in a dorm? He's never told me about that.
He has lots of friends, how can you know all of them.
The coffee isn't good today.
I made it, just drink it.
Alright.
Are you trying?
Your grandpa asked me again earlier.
I have nothing to tell you yet.
Work on it.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- When will you do it? - What?
Get married?
Stop, not you too!
Hey.
May.
Should I book a wedding hall in advance?
It's so cold!
- Dad how about some tea? - Sounds good.
- Mom ginger tea. - Ok.
Put in one spoon.
- She's not out yet? - Do you see her here?
I saw her go to the bathroom, did she go to sleep again?
Leave her.
She's probably embarrassed for what she said yesterday.
She wasn't even drunk and said that to me yesterday.
She doesn't know how to handle it.
She meant it, she wants to get along with you.
Accept it that way.
She tired so hard.
If she stops, she will pack and leave.
Shes an independent woman.
We fought on our honeymoon and even talked about divorce.
Why?
I said that we might have to move in with you guys.
- That I never told her. - My goodness.
She brought up divorce during your honeymoon?
- Yes. - Than why did you move in?
- You guys came here to get along. - Hyo-joo loves me very much.
I know that you love me.
I love her after you two.
If you give Hyo-joo half of the love you have for me,
she will be fine.
I hated her so much, how can I like her in one day?
- Mom. - Mom.
Can you tie this for me? I don't know how to tie it.
The cut is wrong, my hair keeps falling out.
Then why did you get a perm?
Turn around, let me tie it.
You shouldn't have dyed your hair.
Why did you decide to get a perm randomly?
Should I have cut it more?
To tie it, it's better that its long.
Won't I look too old?
- How much did you pay? - $80.
What?!
I know a salon that gives perms for $30.
Are you crazy? How can you pay $80 for hair?
In Gang-nam they charge $150.
I found a cheap place.
My salon gives a good perm and dye for $30.
Next time go with me.
How can you spend $80?!
My salon lasts longer.
I went with your aunt, she went to Gang-nam I went to my salon.
- Hers went away in a month. - Ok I understand.
Hold on.
Did I drink my tea already?
What?
Oh the tea! I forgot, hold on.
That young guy where is his mind?
Where is Hwi-gyu?
I haven't seen him.
Are you deaf?
I'm not talking to you.
I feel very bad for what I did.
- It doesn't matter you can't fix it. - I'll be dead before I fix it.
You complain that much because I drink?
He went to go shovel snow, why are you looking for him?
- What did he say? - The would have gotten a miscarriage.
You can apologize to father, but what about his siblings?
What I did wasn't that bad!
What did I do that was so bad?
- I thought you felt bad? - What a jerk!
He is two faced.
Last night he told me that it was ok and not to worry.
And to you,
he says something else?!
What would he say to you?! That what you did was very bad?!
You and I are what's left.
You and I, you brat.
Even if I made a mistake,
you need to be the one that forgives me!
In all my life I've never know a daughter that is bad as you!
Don't say anything and just be quiet.
You still don't think you didn't do anything bad?
- You're that type of person. - I'm not interested in that old grandpa.
You think I did that with other intentions?
What are you saying now?
You have feelings for my father in law?
What?!
Then why did you say that?
You bad girl!
You lived a long life.
Good bye.
You worked hard.
Honey what are you doing?
I'm down shoveling.
My mom is still so proud, I'm still angry at her.
I told you so.
You can come to my house if it wasn't for my grandpa.
Rest, I'll call you.
Sorry and thank you.
Lets go.
Do you want more seaweed?
I would like some more.
Ok.
- Just bring a few. - Ok.
The soup is boiling, should I turn it off?
Yes.
Hey.
- Stop trying so hard. - You don't like it?
I can't get used to it.
Your mother never heard that from a girl before.
It must be a bit odd for her to hear.
I like the sound of it.
I know that you don't meant it.
I'm trying my best to say mom, a word I've never said before.
Yes psychologically and emotionally it's odd to hear.
- Mom that.. - Mom is a mystery word.
I feel a bit close to you.
I know that feeling, I like it.
Whenever she says mom, I get surprised.
Stop it.
The best word to hear is mom.
- Some soup. - Ok.
Mom.
- Is it still watery? - No it's alright.
Kids who don't have their own, don't know a parent's heart.
If you don't know,
it's a big deal.
You don't know the ups and downs.
As a child you should, be respectful of your parents.
And spouses should respect each other.
And kids have a respect,
for their parents until the day you return as a ghost.
That is a happy marriage is.
- When I come back as a ghost. - There is no need bring ghosts to the table.
Sung-gi understands after his parents told him.
Being picky is being selfish just pick any girl.
Just pick a nice girl that has good morals.
Sung-gi.
Did you hear what I said?
Yes.
Your school friend, army friend, what friend?
A work friend.
- A country kid? - Yes.
- What caused the fire? - I don't know.
- We're the roads slippery? - No the ice has melted.
I wanted to take you to my office, but because of the snow you can't.
What?
Grandparents said that I can't, so we will go next time ok?
Where are you taking her?
The swing is coming today.
I wanted to take her to my office.
Are you out of your mind?
You're so smart but sometimes you say dumb things.
I can't understand it.
What?
- She wants to take Yoo-jin to her office. - You have gone insane.
I had a dumb moment.
I already ate.
Grandpa thanks for the car.
What happened?
- You didn't see the news? - Grandpa saw it.
Your friend didn't inhale smoke?
It's better getting a broken limb then inhaling smoke.
She broke 2 fingers and hurt her leg.
She was lucky.
A lot of people were seriously hurt.
And a lot couldn't drive.
And a lot had broken legs.
- The e.r. was full. - Yea.
- I don't think anyone died.
I'm not sure.
She's not from Seoul?
- She moved here alone. - Good thing you came.
As a friend you should do that.
Yes.
Hey.
They won't have a place to stay.
She is staying at the sauna for now.
You should invite...
Wait can his friend stay at our house for a few days?
The friend can stay with you.
It's just one more meal.
- Father.. - Invite them to stay here.
Yes.
Think of them as our kid,
and welcome them gracefully.
We have enough family members.
It's a few days.
- I'm leaving. - Drive carefully.
- Mom. - Tell him to come.
I can't bring my friend.
- Why? - It's a girl.
- You had a girlfriend? - No not like that.
Get in there.
- She's not my girlfriend. - You said it was a friend.
- I didn't want to be nagged. - I thought it would obviously be a boy.
- Why did you lie? - I didn't lie.
- I knew you would ask. - Yes I will ask.
When did you start dating her?
- Honey where are you? - Come here.
Father has plans for lunch.
- It's his girlfriend. - No she's just my friend.
She's in high school, no way is she my girlfriend.
She works at the café.
I think of her as my sister and I'm nice to her.
She had no one to call so she called me.
I did to help her, how can I not?
It's not like that.
Fine.
You did a good thing helping her.
She's a girl.
We have no room for her.
So-young needs to study.
- She will never share a room. - Just forget it.
She's not that important.
She will stay at the sauna.
You should have told us!
I just wanted to get over it.
- Did you wash up? - Yes.
I washed my clothes too.
I don't feel any pain, the medicine must still be in my system.
I feel sad.
My life is like a beggars, why did this happen to me.
I'm so sad.
I'm going to sleep now.
I'll sleep and wake up in a better attitude.
Good idea, call the manager and tell him what happened.
Yea.
Tell him everything.
The hospital said 2 weeks rest.
That,
I'll ask him, but I'm not sure.
There are a lot of spaces for workers like you.
Ok.
Yes?
- Give me your laundry. - Hold on.
Close the door.
- Is she in surgery? - Yes it's been 20 minutes.
- Do you want coffee? - No.
- Hello doctor. - Hello.
I'm sorry.
- I said I was sorry. - So what?
I had a situation.
Why aren't you answering my calls? I called 4 times.
Forget it, if you won't listen.
I don't need this from someone who doesn't accept my apology.
Then,
what explanation will explain your behavior?
Yea.
I was so dumbfounded it was so absurd for me.
I had no idea what to think.
You told me to come.
I had no reason to go.
But at the parking lot...
We're not even dating,
all I wanted was to give you wine.
We're not dating, why are you playing these games?
Get up.
Get up jerk!
If I'm on your mind fine.
Why are you acting like that?
What games are you playing?
- What do you mean? - You don't get it?
Are you scared? Do I scare you?
You don't have confidence?
Stop messing around.
Stop trying to play games with me.
I don't play games with guys.
If I like you I like you, If you don't thats ok, got it?
So what?
I'm okay.
Get home safe.
I hope that you won't suffer too long.
Ho-sae.
You were the best out of the 4 of us.
I liked you the best.
I really like you.
Good bye.
Lets meet again... we will.
I love you Ho-sae.
Get a divorce, I will take you.
I'm serious.
Yea.
Bye.
Ho-sae.
You were a great friend.
I will always think of you.
- Sorry. - Ok.
No need to be embarrassed.
I wasn't sober.
It was embarrassing,
but it's ok. Everyone makes mistakes when they're drunk.
- Hurry and come. - We don't need to do this.
Why did you drink at a child's party anyway?
I'm not drunk anymore, what do you want me to do?
It's all over with.
Come in.
No need to be embarrassed.
You're just my daughter, you did no wrong.
You did nothing wrong!
Be confident, alright!
I knew you would be like this.
That isn't confidence it's arrogance.
Lets go home, it's better we pretend like nothing happened.
Don't make things worse.
Where will we go? I did nothing wrong.
Yes?
- It's us. - Hello.
- The front door was open. - Hello.
Sae-rom.
Come in.
Come on in.
- Where is your father? - He went to work.
Good thing.
I want to see your mother.
Yes.
- Mother. - Yes.
No need to stand up.
Please have a seat.
I made a mistake and Sae-rom was so upset.
I just remember singing.
I'm so sorry for what I did.
It can happen.
You are such an energetic person,
you helped out so much.
I was thankful that you had fun.
Yes.
Don't say that, she will make a bigger mistake next time.
- I won't. - Please sit.
Sit down.
This is a heirloom of mine.
It's a nice vase.
We don't need it, take it back.
Just keep it and give it to your grandson.
This is a very nice vase.
It's a great piece of art.
I liked vases since I was young.
Until now she raised the child.
After the father heard of the pregnancy, he wanted an abortion.
Until now she has been raising the child.
What a jerk.
Therefore, custody should,
be given to the mother.
I ask for custody of the mother and financial aid for the mother.
Yes this is Ahn So-young.
Yes it is.
Yes this is for single mothers.
How did you find my number?
So you live in Suwon.
Are you in Seoul?
I'm sorry, Ahn Sung-gi.
Is Dr. Ahn in treatment?
Alright.
- Does it hurt? - No.
It doesn't trust me and just relax.
Ok.
Doctor.
What will you feed me?
Mom wants to make kimchi soup for you.
I'm really happy, it's my favorite.
- You do? - I love noodles.
But my wife won't let me eat it because I'm getting older.
My wife doesn't let me eat it often either.
- She's not coming? - She is.
Mom want me to make the noodles?
I want to make noodles, it's been a while.
Where's Yoo-jung?
She's dropping Dae-gi off.
- Did you text Sung-gi? - No, what will I say today?
I don't know what to write him everyday.
I sent him so many get married texts.
It lost its importance.
You don't care if Sung-gi gets married or not.
No that's not it.
What should I say?
Welcome.
What?
Why did you send me roses?
- Girls like roses. - Red roses.
- You liked it. - I hate roses.
I'll accept your apology.
Couldn't you have been nicer?
- You can just explain it to me. - He's my childhood friend.
He has pancreatic cancer and came to say goodbye.
- You should text me. - I wasn't in the mood.
Lets eat.
Marriage, marriage.
Marriage is marrying your loved one for life.
It's a new journey.
Get married and turn into an adult.
All of a sudden she called me mom, I was shocked.
- She called you mom? - Yes 3 times.
And she started to cry and she yelled at me.
What did she say?
She said she will live with me as a mom.
She will call me mom and what I say will be words of a mom.
She was crying.
I feel it's insincere.
- She will raise the bar. - Don't think of it that way.
Just think of her that she wants to get closer.
- That's how you see it? - Yes it is.
- You must have been so hard on her. - This is why it's unfair!
She isn't what you think.
She isn't polite as she is here.
She talks back.
And she won't let me win any argument.
That is a bad habit.
It's scary how she calls me mom.
After she woke up she called me mom again.
You have a daughter now.
Just become her mom, that's good.
You can nag, get mad say what you want.
It will be so much easier than having a daughter in law.
She is a very smart girl.
- Do you think she planned this? - What?
Don't say that.
I feel like she's messing with me.
Just accept it, or else her intentions can turn bad.
Hwi-myung was just watching and Dae-gi was on her side.
Don't laugh.
He said that I lost.
What?
Did you eat dinner?
- I'm eating at Ji-ae's house. - Your lunch was delicious.
I'm glad you liked it.
Put more side dishes tomorrow.
Ok.
Ok bye.
Mom.
Is it good?
Yes.
Give me some.
My mom.
She nags me.
She wants me to get married.
It's been 4 years since my mom divorced my dad.
I don't know why she's like this.
She wants her daughter to do well.
She doesn't care, she just wants me to marry.
I want too.
I was going to get married but I couldn't.
- Today's texts? - Yes.
I'm jealous you have so many family members.
It's annoying at times like this.
No need to repay my wine.
That day,
lets pretend it didn't happen.
- Give me back my watch. - I was going too.
We're friends.
I wasn't jealous but I was taken aback.
Sung-gi.
Right now,
I'm...
I feel sad and lonely.
Want to be with me?
- I have patients. - I have them until 3.
If I feel the same way when we leave work.
- What do you want to eat? - Kimchi soup.
No.. I meant.
I don't want any food.
Soo-mi.
Hey.
- You scared me. - Sorry.
Lets go.
- Where? - You need to eat lunch.
I'm not hungry.
If I leave, I need to pay a fine.
Lets just eat here, give me money.
- You skipped work today? - No, I'm on my lunch break.
- Be quiet. - I'm sorry.
I can't go home because of my grandma.
If I fight with my aunt, my uncle will hit me again.
I'll just stay here until my finger is better.
I'll find an apartment for $200 a month.
That's impossible.
If I look really hard I will.
I brought my checkbook.
Fool.
If your house catches on fire the bank replaces those for you.
I was so proud of myself.
Lets have a drink.
- I have plans. - Cancel them.
I can't.
Doctor Han made a mistake.
His patient had a heart attack.
They sent him to the e.r.
- He's in trouble. - It's not my place,
- death is better. - Your field is simple.
Doctor Han was in some financial issues as well.
He has no money.
- Lets drink. - I have plans.
That's right, who?
- A girl? - From a bar.
- I'll drive. - I can't trust you.
- Sung-gi lets me. - Get in.
I have something to tell you.
- What? - Stop.
- You shouldn't drive. - What?
Tell me.
Can my friend use your apartment?
Grandpa said to bring him home.
Well...
- It's empty just for a bit. - He doesn't want to come home?
- Yes. - Forget it.
How funny why is he so picky.
- That's not it. - I need to use the heater.
Who will pay for that?
And my house will smell like boy.
And I go for my books and rest there.
I won't allow it.
It's late, you should come home earlier.
- The sun sets earlier. - Yes.
Joong-gi?
He's coming with So-young.
- They might have left. - Is his friend coming?
No he isn't.
It's not a boy but a girl from his café.
Joong-gi is a nice boy.
She likes him.
- A girl? - Just a friend.
- He treats her like a sister. - Is it Yoo-jin's mom?
No one can find her.
- Father? - I forgot.
Father is home.
Does dad...have...
- What? - It's nothing.
What were you going to say?
Do you feel sometimes.... that dad is forgetful.
No why?
Joong-gi's friend from the fire.
He asked if she was Yoo-jin's mother.
What?
I know he forget.
He's know that it's So-young's daughter.
It's possible.
- Father remembers better than me. - No that's not it,
Father is forgetful.
It was weird.
Look how old he is.
Its possible that he might have memory loss.
What is that called... that thing in your brain.
All your medicines prevent that.
This is a good one.
- Make dinner. - Ok.
Mom have this when you want a snack.
- He wants a drink. - I will go get some.
- Hello. - Hello.
- She went up already. - Ok.
This is for you.
You shouldn't have, my kids will like it.
Come this way.
- You look like an actor. - Thank you.
- Good bye. - Have a good night.
Answer it.
- It's ok. - Answer it.
Dad.
- Dad. - It's good.
This will be your wedding song.
You didnt ask where I am.
You're at work?
Sorry, sorry.
Drink some.
Do you have to do that.
What?
I'm not a prostitute, you regret this?
Why are you turning your back to me?
Go take a shower.
You're so impolite.
- I'm not your snack. - Then am I your meal?
Don't show my your back.
- I was thinking. - What?
How you will escape here?
- Why did I do this again? - I'm a player, I don't worry about that.
You're afraid of me.
- I'm not? - I'm not afraid of women.
Am I a girl?
Are you a boy?
- Did I sleep with a boy? - Ok I got it.
All the girls you sleep with are bimbos?
I'm hungry, feed me.
I don't have any intention of trapping you.
Don't think of it.
You improved.
You're scoring me?
- Is this a test? - You're only a B minus.
Try harder.
What the.
I had kimchi noodles earlier.
I forgot to sign in.
- What's with me? - I'm in the car come.
- That isn't fair. - I saw mom.
How do I have to meet father and sign in front of him.
Father will be flexible.
Just tell father that I forgot and I'm taking a shower right now.
I don't feel like it.
Just go yourself.
- What? - I'm telling dad.
Ok I'll go by myslef.
I'm showering, ok?
He's so annoying.
You didn't listen to me. This fish is so expensive!
You can't even bring this to the table?
What a waste! What a waste!
- Are you hurt? - I'm ok.
You were holding it out like this.
You need to put your arms right to the side.
You always mess things up.
I'll do it.
You have such a long way to go.
- I'll do it. - I'm so upset.
I will buy 3 big fish tomorrow.
You don't know the price.
Go wash your feet.
Yes mom.
You really are something.
- Just sit down somewhere and take them off. - I guess I should have.
My goodness.
- So-young is coming - Okay.
- With Joong-gi. - Yes I know.
- Where's Hwi-jae? - In the kitchen.
You're here.
- Yes. - Come in.
I'll just wait out here.
I'm here dad.
Tell your mother in law that I understand she was drunk.
There's no need to worry.
- Yes father. - I liked the present.
I will drink with her in the future.
I will gladly accept.
Grandpa we're home.
- Where's Yoo-jin? - Your moms room.
- Take the plastic off. - Ok.
- What's that? - For Yoo-jin.
It's a baby swing.
Mom Hwi-myung forgot to sign and wanted me to do it.
I should go and sign it.
Guess what mom bought you.
- What do you think? - You're cold.
Give me her.
I was wearing a coat.
- Come eat. - Alright.
A sauana.
She has no where to sleep?
Yea.
A girl shouldn't sleep in the sauna alone.
I would let her stay in the attic but it's cold up there.
Is the heater in the basement?
You don't like the gas.
The wires were mixed.
There are new heaters out.
The heater is too much work.
- It's good to have. - You didn't say it was a girl.
- I did. - No you didn't.
- That's how mom and dad know. - You didn't tell me.
I did.
You're dating her?
- That is why I didn't tell you. - Even if its a girl, no.
- Forge it. - What?
He wanted me to give up my apartment.
Don't say that.
I just asked if she could stay there for a while.
- That is the same thing. - What no.
- That isn't the same. - I don't want anyone in my space.
- Forget it. - You always get mad.
Mind your own business.
- I mind my business. - What?
Don't get upset, she's always like that.
- You're like that. - Forget it.
You grew up a lot.
I'm sleeping here.
We're not dating, we're just a one night stand.
- Is that so? - Isn't it?
- Lets see who wins. - When did your mother die?
- You and her. - What?
What's wrong?
- He doesn't want to get married? - He wants a girl, not a wife.
- Somethings up. - What?
Brat.
Do you really love her?
As much as the sky.
Mom you're this bad person?
- You don't even know. - I think I'm really sick.
You're dating her.
- Then why are you thinking of her? - When I die get remarried.
- Hey. - What?
