Childless Comfort - Episode 22
- What did you say? - I want to get married.
Did you hear him?
- I'm not deaf. - What did he say?
- What nonsense did he say?
Sung-gi has no hope, I will get married before him.
You have someone to marry?
- Did grandpa ask you too? - No, nothing like that.
Then why do you want to get married at 25?
- I'm going to be 26. - Do you have a girl?
- Do you have someone to marry? - You don't marry yourself!
- Don't get mad and listen. - Listen to what?! Nonsense!
- That's not what I mean. - There is no way you can!
You said nothing, and I didn't hear anything alright?!
Mom.
Why are you getting mad?
- He wants a discussion. - He has just gone crazy!
He wants to get married before his brother, maybe there is a reason why.
We keep talking about marriage, maybe he feels the pressure.
Lets hear what he has to say.
Did you get her pregnant?
- How many months? - What?
It's alright Joon-gi tell us the truth.
Tell me honestly.
Did you get a girl pregnant?!
- Mom. - Tell me right now!
Mom.
- I will die tomorrow then. - Honey, don't say that!
How will I face anyone.
My daughter had a child without a father.
And now he wants to get married before his older brother.
That is not it, calm down.
That isn't it?
We've only held hands, we haven't even kissed.
Than why?
You have only just started dating, why marriage?
No one wants to get married right when they're dating.
You don't know anything about girls, that is not how you get married.
I know enough dad.
You've only held hands, that's all you know.
What are you talking about right now?!
- No that's not what he meant. - I heard nothing, go upstairs.
- He didn't get a girl pregnant. - You still can't!
What did I do wrong that all my kids are like this!
Go upstairs, I don't want to see you.
I want to get married.
Or give me money.
- I want to move out. - Did you leave me money?
- No. - Then why are you asking for money?
- I want the money for my wedding. - That isn't yours!
Honey.
Move out and live with your own money, I don't even have 50 cents!
Get up, leave.
- I want to get married. - Punk come on, get up.
Let's go talk, talk with me, lets go.
What will you talk about?
You're going to tell him that you understand, right?
Not now,
- lets talk later. - Say what later?!
Lets talk later.
I'm home.
You should listen why did you yell so much?
- Wait. - Where are you going?
Sung-gi is home.
So you're going upstairs and telling him about Joong-gi?
I'm getting nagged so much.
You think that he will be happy? He won't care.
He doesn't want to get married, nothing will persuade him.
You should learn to think!
Fine, you're right.
Sung-gi,
when I think of you my heart warms.
When I see you, my heart leaps.
I want to touch you.
And I want you to touch me.
I like that you're my man, and I like that I'm you're girl.
Good night.
I feel the same way.
You have a good night too.
I know how you're feeling.
But you don't need to over react this way.
Whenever he ran away you always yelled at him.
He didn't know what he wanted to be.
He tried to study but he couldn't keep up.
His pride was hurt because he couldn't study as well as his siblings.
I didn't compare them.
- I wasn't the one to make him run away. - But you did compare them.
He said it himself, that he hates when you compare him to them.
He compared himself, I didn't do that to him.
Try to be honest.
To be honest, you were upset he wasn't as smart as his siblings.
What about you?
I'm different from you each child has their own strengths.
I always say that having a kind heart is better than being smart.
You take all the credit as being the good parent.
I wonder who she is.
- Aren't you curious? - No I'm not.
- He's a 25 year old getting married. - He will be 26 soon.
He has no money.
He works to have spending money.
- We can take care of them. - That is your problem.
- In the olden days he should be married. - That was so long ago.
- A child born to young parents... - Do you want to continue?
Fine, lets stop, stop.
I'm feeling a bit upset.
I'm not your son, don't scold me like that!
- I'm sorry you feel that way. - Sorry I feel that way?!
You say sorry like it's nothing.
- What? - Don't say that to me.
You don't know how much you changed.
I know it all, you're changing day by day.
You're turning into Hwi-myung, you want to run away?
Don't joke around, I'm serious.
I said that I was sorry.
Is that it?!
- Why are you picking a fight?! - Look here!
Who is it?!
- Mom. - Take her.
Yes mom.
Soo-young didn't look for her.
She must have forgotten studying.
Why are you two fighting?
It's nothing mom, nothing.
If you want to fight go outside and fight.
It's cold outside.
- Sleep. - Don't drink.
How did you know?
- I'm washing up. - Okay.
- I can't talk, I need to shower. - Alright.
I'm not here to see you.
Dad didn't you tell Uncle to stop texting me?
They won't listen.
Your aunts will join in too.
- What? - Be prepared.
Yes.
Are you drinking?
I don't want to talk right now.
If mom comes up it will be hectic, lets talk tomorrow.
Good night, sorry.
So you really want to get married?
Yes.
- She's not pregnant. - No.
You can wait a little.
Ok, go to sleep.
Isn't it dark?
You must have good eyes.
Rest your eyes and take breaks.
Your eyes will become bad.
You won't turn on the lights because of the electric bill.
Do it in the morning so you don't strain your eyes.
- What? - Hwi-myung.
Can you make an appointment with your doctor friend.
Why?
Is your mother in law sick?
No Sae-rom is very sick.
She keeps throwing up.
I know, we went to the local hospital and got checked out.
She took her medicine but she keeps throwing up.
This is a big deal.
We need to get her checked out.
Ok, I'll call him later.
Don't worry, she will be fine.
Ok, ok.
Don't worry, I'm sure it's nothing.
Sae-rom keeps throwing up.
She must have indigestion or something.
The hospital said that it's a bug, nothing serious.
- How is she throwing up? - How would I know.
She trows up everything she eats.
She has diarrhea too.
Your daughter in law is here, watch what you say.
I'm not worried, I live my life comfortably.
- She throw up everything? - I guess.
Did she hit her head?
She isn't dizzy and she just keeps throwing up?
- He didn't say anything. - Does her stomach hurt?
I don't know.
If it's a stomach virus her stomach should hurt.
Is she pregnant?
I need to use the bathroom.
Why does he need to go to the bathroom to make a call?
Just relax, ok relax.
Don't worry you will be ok.
We will go to the hospital and get you check out from head to toe.
I'm sure you will be okay.
- Give me the medicine. - Okay.
Starve yourself for a day, it will get better.
- Don't say that. - Most stomach aches,
will get better if you starve.
I starved since yesterday, do you think I ate something?
I'm just saying to watch what you eat.
Stop trying to eat and just keep your stomach open.
Stop talking to me and leave.
Just make her rest.
Ok, mother.
What is wrong with you, this is upsetting.
- Yes. - Hwi-gyu?
My wife thinks that she might be pregnant.
What?!
What are you saying, that's impossible!
That is impossible!
I'm just wondering.
Miracles can happen.
She keeps throwing up,
that is the first sign of pregnancy.
And you guys keep making love.
- So it might. - Stop it, bye.
Are you trying to tease me?
What is his problem.
I'm older than you.
I'm sick, how could she say that?
Even though she doesn't like me and I might die,
how can she say that?
- They are hoping.. - That is not it!
She is pushing my buttons about not getting pregnant.
Honey.
She thinks I'm stupid and think I'll get checked for pregnancy.
And she wants me to be sad and cry.
You think I won't know what she's trying to do.
She told me, that she should have had another kid, right in front of me!
You know how old I am?!
I'm almost 50!
My life as a woman is about to end, how could she.
I can't just let this go.
She thinks that I'm a fool, I won't take this anymore!
What will you do?
I'm going to tell her everything that I've kept in since 25 years ago!
So you'll call in the night and rile things up?
That is your complex.
No one looks at us and says things because we don't have kids.
From the outside.
She could have told me tomorrow, why did she make her husband call and say that?!
So the whole neighborhood can gossip?
Is she pregnant? Oh I guess she isn't.
Stop, lets stop this now.
If you say one more thing, I'm sleeping outside.
I don't want you to create drama in my family because of your pride.
No one is thinking that about you.
Before you make a mess go and lay on the bed!
Right now.
- Where are you going? - I need some air.
Yes father.
Why is it so cold?
I was airing out the room, sit down.
I'm ok.
About Joong-gi.
Yes.
I think he's going to run away again.
It's serious this time.
- He wants big things. - What do you mean?
He wants his inheritance now.
Is he crazy? How dare he ask that!
I always gave him 2-3 grand when he ran away.
Last time I gave him 10 grand.
He got money from his uncles too.
I gave him some money too.
I think he's up to something.
He is running away for a long time.
Don't mention the will and talk to him about it.
Yes father.
So what did you say?
The will, I'm sorry.
The will, what amount.
I don't have any money, nothing.
I see.
Yes?
What did mom say?
She won't look at me.
- Working today? - No I'm off.
After breakfast go and work at the gas station, its cold out.
I will go out with him later.
I'll say that I need to buy a sketch book or something.
We will talk then, ok?
- Did Yoo-jin sleep well? - Yes.
- Did you stay up all night? - No.
What's wrong?
- What? - You're in a bad mood.
I can't be in a bad mood?
Why are you yelling?
- Nothing. - Did they say something?
- Huh? - There is nothing to say.
There is nothing else to say to me.
They know that the baby is here.
- It's weird that they're keeping quiet. - Mom I hate drama.
Stop it.
They're quit because they will forgive him and keep this a secret.
If he was kicked out, things would get messy.
They must hate me,
but they won't mess with us anymore.
Don't worry.
I'm going to the gym and sauna.
Is Joong-gi going to work?
- He off today. - You came in late yesterday.
- Yes. - You didn't drink.
- I didn't. - Then why were you late.
- Lunch? - I will eat it here.
- What now? - What?!
- Leaving? - Yes.
- Don't be like that to Joong-gi. - What?
You ignored him this morning.
What if he really decides to run away somewhere.
He can do what he wants!
All of these kids are selfish.
Think of when we were young.
We didn't think of our parents.
- I did. - Times are different.
We raised our kids like princes and princesses, what do you expect?
- Our kids are on the good side. - Good side, please.
Drink it.
Drink this, it's apple and orange.
Here you go.
- Just a little bit. - Yes a little bit.
- Hwi-myung? - What does he want now?
She just slept, she was ok.
Alright.
- Baby I'll be back. - Why?
What?
I was too lazy to wear a jacket.
The people will think that a homeless man is here.
This is a list of all the foods that should be ok to eat.
- We already ate it. - Oh you did.
She thinks that she is pregnant and wanted her to watch what she ate.
Hwi-myung.
You think that we are hoping to get pregnant?
Why are you mentioning that it's annoying.
- Hey. - Tell her,
not to mess with us and stop pushing my wife's weak spot.
We aren't hoping to be pregnant, so don't even bring it up.
Why does she keep bothering us?!
- Hey.. - Stop it and go away!
That little jerk.
Did you give it to them?
- Yes. - What did they say?
They just said thanks.
- Are the kids awake? - No not yet.
Leave them, it's the weekend for them.
After she calls me mom she thinks that she's the daughter.
Good treat her like your daughter.
It doesn't matter if she wakes up early or not.
Even if it was my daughter I wouldn't like it.
She needs to come out and work.
How can she be that brazen.
They are newlyweds, leave them.
- I want some eggs. - Okay.
Kids will be kids.
Parents see kids as children still.
Until we die,
kids are always our biggest worry.
So even if you're old, we keep worrying about our kids.
Yes.
Children are good if you are good to your parents.
In our days kids had to respect their parents greatly.
Kids these days,
turn their heads if they don't want to hear it.
Your new grand daughter,
and you,
need to love each other.
And when you have a child you will love it too.
That is enough.
What more do you expect?
So from now on,
just love each other as is.
But what I think is different.
Even if you can't do everything,
you need to repay half.
You can't just take from your parents,
and just expect the same respect.
What is that?
You raise your children with great care.
The last part is too much.
You have 3 kids.
Don't die old regretting things.
- Listen to what I say. - These kids are good to their parents.
I know but I'm just saying.
It was on the news.
My mother died when I was young.
I felt like I was alone in the world.
Yes.
You should rest today father.
Joong-gi will go to the gas station today.
Lets go to the bathhouse after we eat.
It's cold out today.
Lets go when the weather is a bit warmer.
- Why do you go when it's cold out? - We are driving there.
You can still catch a cold.
Yes father.
Hey.
Yes?
Grandma is leaving, get dressed.
- You're going to the bathhouse. - You're going to work the gas station.
I didn't say it, you do it.
- Jerk. - It's so cold out.
Get dressed!
You will get a cold, you should just go home.
Stop talking about a cold, I won't get one.
I can take care of myself.
Stop over worrying about me.
Yes father, what about lunch?
I already have plans.
- How is business. - Okay.
Work hard.
It's not bad to experience working here.
I'm leaving at noon.
Where?
Welcome.
Why are you here?
You should go eat lunch.
Yes,
- we will go get lunch. - Yea go ahead.
Come and sit here.
What is it?
When did I become so degrading to you?
- Are you pouting? - Pouting?
Pouting?!
Look you little bastard how can you say that to your older brother?
What pouting?
Am I your neighborhood friend?!
I just meant I know why you came to see me.
I was a bit sensitive this morning, I'm sorry.
You always over react to everything.
Hwi-myung.
You always say sorry and you never fix your attitude!
I always say, he's the youngest.
But I can't take it anymore, I want to rip your limbs off!
That is why I came here!
I said I was sorry, lets sit and talk.
I was sensitive and got angry over the pregnancy talk.
And you probably wonder why I over reacted today.
How dare you speak to me so informally.
- Hey. - You think I came to learn a lesson?
You disrespect me so much!
Come back here.
Come back here!
I'm so sorry brother, sorry.
- Want more? - No that is enough.
Mom,
is sad since last night.
Yoo-jin mom,
keeps thinking about your dad.
He abandoned you and I.
That is how I kept thinking of him.
But yesterday,
It's like I found a book that I had lost.
When I first saw your dad,
my heart was beating for him.
The first day he asked me out to coffee.
After I knew how he felt...
I was so happy and nervous.
Want some dumplings?
No.
- You barely ate. - I'm not hungry.
- What's wrong? - What?
What?
How can someone change so much?
I don't understand.
Did I drive him away?
Was I too harsh?
He just wanted his career.
Yes,
he had many girlfriends.
But,
what is love?
If love is disposable, it probably wasn't even love.
Love was marriage in my day.
- But it's different now. - I was born in your day.
I was raised in those days.
When you meet someone else, this will all go away.
Hurry and find a new man.
Did I...
Did I hope that he would get a divorce?!
Isn't he suppose to get a divorce?
What women would accept that?
Did her father not tell her?
That is a possibility.
No...
Or does she know and didn't want to get divorced?
Yoo-jin's father,
has a way with people.
Honey where are you?
Mom.
Are you going to sleep?
No not yet.
Dad is at the gas station, he has lunch plans.
All his friends are meeting today.
- Did he dry his hair? - Yes of course.
- Ji-ae made dumplings. - Alright.
Rest.
What is it?
What happened?
Tell me what's wrong?
I don't show it, but I don't have a happy life.
I have a lot of worries.
Look at my life.
I'm my wife's 24 hour servant.
I do everything for her.
I know I promised that I would treat her like a queen.
But it's been 25 years.
You can't feel the same way after 25 years.
Of course I like her, she's cute but...
No matter what after 25 years things start to fade.
What if I tell her?
We're talking man to man.
- You spoke informally again. - I forgot.
- Want more meat? - Forget it.
When I'm tried I don't even like her cuteness.
I don't have the strength.
I'm trying but you're still being rude to me.
I don't want to see you for a while.
- Hwi-myung.. - You treated me like a beggar.
I can fix a physical wound,
but I can't fix the pain inside.
Hwi-myung.
How can you expect the disrespect you gave me to go away with meat?
I'm leaving.
I don't care.
- Hwi-myung. - $52.
- Why is it expensive. - Hwi-myung.
How much is it for one person?
- Where did you go? - I had some errands.
Why is the house so cold?
We had the window open.
- Where is Hyo-joo? - I was cleaning the bathroom.
Is that so?
Tell your mom I want some ginger tea.
She isn't here.
- Where did she go? - To give yogurt to grandparents.
- She just left. - She's starting again?
Yes.
- Do you want lunch? - I ate already.
Okay.
Don't worry.
It is no big deal.
I know.
How do you know that?
She always had internal problems.
She would always get indigestion and diarrhea.
I fed her so much medicine and took her to so many doctors to fix it.
She made me worry so much.
She was raised differently.
She was about to die in the womb.
When she was 20,
it started getting better.
You can't explain the times that she made me worry.
You should just work, why did you come here?
She ate porridge 2 times after you left.
She is fine.
She should have just laid down all day.
She won't listen to me.
Cancel the snake soup.
- I need to pick it up at 5. - She doesn't want it.
- Cancel it. - You eat it then.
Stop worrying.
I'm going crazy.
Eat.
Hurry and eat.
That is nonsense.
I knew you would say that.
I knew you would take her side.
You're always on her side.
I'm really sad.
It's because what you're saying is nonsense.
It's ok if you think I'm immature.
Her sister in law is sick,
why would she think good for her, lets tease her.
Would you do that to her?
No one would feel that way.
- She doesn't like me. - Stop it!
- She isn't an evil person. - Then what do you think it means?
She made her husband ask.
- She is teasing me. - You threw up.
She was just suggesting maybe that is why. That is a possibility.
Look at my age and I've failed at IVF 10 times.
There is still a chance.
Maybe the fairy god mother will find you.
Is the fair god mother drunk?
Why are you making this so hard?
She doesn't say it,
but why can't you just think of a positive thing.
That is because she is always mean.
If you did that I wouldn't mind it.
What are you saying?
I always do what?
It's nothing.
What are you tattling about now?
See she said I'm tattling.
When did I ever do that?
Fine I needed to talk to my sister in law, yes that's tattling.
I do tattle then!
About what?
What did I do to upset you.
It's nothing, sit down.
What do you want to drink?
Do you want some ginger tea?
Is it that great to you that we don't have children?
You really enjoy it?
- You really like it? - Have you gone mad.
How can you disrespect your sister in law like that.
- I was too patient. - Stop, be quiet.
That is enough!
Why are all of you yelling?!
It's nothing mother.
You aren't children.
It's been so many years, what are you all arguing about?!
It's nothing, what do you need?
What did you keep inside all these years?
You're the youngest, be patient!
How dare you speak to your older sister in law like that!
Mother.
Is that how your mother raised you?!
I've lived to long and seen too much.
And what about you.
You need to keep your calm.
Yes.
She thinks I yelled at you.
That is no different.
- She thinks that I.. - Stop it.
She is upset you thought she was pregnant.
- What? - She thought you were teasing her.
Your complex is really amazing.
I just mentioned it because of your symptoms.
How could you think that?
- How do you think of me? - The two of you just leave.
- Get in. - No.
- It's cold. - I don't want too.
So you can say that it's cold and I made you walk home.
Do as you please.
I want to punch her.
Hey.
What?
Look,
time will heal, it's true.
It's only been a while, it will get better with time.
- Did mom say something? - She was so upset she cried.
To mom and I you guys are our everything.
You are more precious than our lives.
When you guys are in pain, we feel that pain much more intensely.
- Really? - Raise Yoo-jin.
No one in this world will compare to the love your mother and I have.
That is how it is.
Love between a man and woman is like a candy.
It's sweet at first.
But after a while it's too sweet and it starts to melt.
That is love.
We're not like that.
Your mother and I,
we will love you kids until the day we die.
So,
a man,
isn't worth it.
A man isn't your whole life.
You are the most precious don't ever forget that.
Dad,
did you write it and memorize it?
Don't misjudge me.
The dust just began to settle.
She questioned how I raised you.
You fool.
She doesn't even know what we were talking about.
Be quiet!
Yes I was busy with my business I couldn't teach you everything.
I couldn't teach you about in law etiquette.
Still at 50 how can you make people say things about me.
I'm not 50, I'm 49.
Your mouth is the problem.
Why do you just let things run out of your mouth.
Don't mention this to Hwi-gyu.
No man likes it when you say bad things about their family.
No when I get yelled at he always takes my side.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
How can you lose it?
I was drying my hair and someone stole it.
They want me to die.
There is a phone thief.
I looked around but I couldn't find it.
I'm borrowing a workers.
- Why aren't you coming? - I'm working at the gas station.
I want to come at night but I might not be able too.
- You walked here? - Yes.
Aren't you cold? I would have driven you.
I am, are they making yams?
- Yea. - Where did you go?
Did you release some stress?
The gas was a waste so I didn't go far.
Was their good squids?
- Oh yea.. - You forgot.
- I did. - What dad?
- I forgot to get squid. - We will go buy some.
Hyo-joo needs to buy some bread.
- It's hot. - I need to change first.
Why isn't there any water?
Right here mom.
There were a lot of rotting yams.
- I threw them away. - Good.
Dad.
- These are so hot! - We just took them out.
Look,
Hwi-gyu,
I think that not having a child was traumatic for them.
Did he say something?
Even the word pregnancy is sensitive to them.
Those two are the same.
- We've never made fun of them. - Sae-rom said the same thing.
She asked me if I enjoyed that they didn't have children.
It was so absurd.
Mother came and yelled at us.
And Ji-ae was upset and told us all to leave.
- I was ran out. - How can she say that?
- What's with them? - It was too absurd to laugh.
Just ignore them.
Those two are really something.
Those two are exactly the same.
- Sung-gi? - Yes.
Where do you want to sit?
Anywhere, over there.
Ok.
- I like your coat. - I spent a lot.
- Sit. - Wait.
- Did you drink? - I had 2 glasses of wine.
Isn't that embarrassing?
- No why? - I thought this was a proposal.
It was.
I like you too.
That is not romantic.
Lets sit.
Right now,
I can't promise marriage.
I can't say we will marry in the future either.
- Are you afraid of it? - I don't find the appeal.
You heard the rumors, after they mention marriage I'm out.
- This is how you start a relationship? - I just want it out there.
I just want them to know marriage is not an option.
Why are you telling me?
You are older and your family is pressuring you.
I don't want you to have hope.
I know you already have a scar.
Two people decide on marriage not one.
And I have no intention of marrying you.
I just like you right now.
I need you, that's it.
If we fall out of love, we break up.
- What if we have a kid? - That isn't easy.
I'm past my prime.
I won't go on birth control.
I've never had a problem with pregnancy scares.
If we do I will raise it.
Your sister is a single mom, I don't care.
How many aunts do you have?
I have 3 why?
I know one died, but you had another.
Yea I have 2 older aunts.
I just said aunt when I needed too.
- What do you want for dinner? - Won't your mom decide?
