Episode 24
It's almost dinnertime-why are you eating so much?
I've been constantly hungry lately.
You're on a diet, aren't you?
It's amazing how much you eat for someone your size.
-Ha Sun? -Yes?
Ha Sun, these are for the living expenses last month.
No, I told you I won't make you pay any sort of expenses.
It's because of me you're living here so uncomfortably.
No, I'll feel much better if you accept this.
It's okay, really.
I'm telling you to take it. Take it, take it.
-No, I don't need it. -No, no.
I'm here at your school now. Do I just need to go to the teacher's office?
Yup. Sorry. I need to urgently use the car.
It's on my way home anyways.
Okay.
What brings you to our school?
I'm here on an errand.
I didn't know you had these kinds of skills.
It's pretty cool.
I'm not doing it completely on my own. My teacher is helping me with it.
But I can't get this part to work...
Do you want me to take a look?
Do you know how?
I can try.
Oh this...yeah...
So it is...
Can you figure it out?
Nope. Not at all.
Make sure you show me when you launch this later.
I won't be launching it, it's just for the science fair.
Is that so?
Yes ma'am. Where did you say it's hurting?
And where else?
How much does it hurt?
When did the pain start?

Thank you so much! I thought I wouldn't get paid since I got fired. Thank you! Thank you!
Hip hip! Hurray!
I'm home! You didn't eat dinner yet, did you?
-We're about to in a bit. -Then let's eat this for dinner.
I got a hamburger family meal.
How did you afford that?
By chance, did you pick that up off the streets?
Nah, I forgot about the work I had done at the TV station but then I got paid.
And...this.
What is this?
It's not much but I put in a bit for living expenses.
No, you don't have to do this.
No, if I think about the amount I've eaten and slept here for free I should put in more, but I was only able to put in that much.
I don't know if I should accept this.
Ha Sun, you should take it. That way Jin Hee feels better too.
He's right. Please take it.
Alright. Thanks.
We should put some aside for Ji Won.
It looks so good!
Hi mom. What's up?
Money? How much do you need?
Where am I going to get such a large amount of money?
So much do you need immediately?
Is that so?
You must have gotten your scooter repaired.
The repair cost a lot.
So what? Did I break it?
You threw your bag at me.
You know I wasn't going to say this but if I go to the hospital for where you hit me with your guitar--
I won't ask you to pay for the repairs.
What is that? Is that a missile?
White missile.
Jin Hee felt she was at a fork in the road with two options.
Paying for living expenses and staying in comfort or not paying and living uncomfortably.
She contemplated over and over which path she should take.
Are you trying to get a cab?
Yes but there aren't that many cabs.
Where are you going?
House visits. There were a lot of patients at the hospital so I'm running a bit late.
I'll give you a ride. Get on.
-What? -I'll take you to your destination for the base fare.
I'm going to go to the store, is there anything you're craving?
-Jin Hee -Yes?
What are you thinking about? I said I'm going to the store.
We have plenty of living expenses so I'll make cook for everyone. What would you like to eat?
I'm not really craving anything...
That's a first...well if you think of anything text me.
Okay.
Paying for living expenses and staying in comfort or not paying and living uncomfortably.
Paying for living expenses and staying in comfort or not paying and living uncomfortably. Paying for living expenses and staying in comfort or not paying and living uncomfortably.
Paying for living expenses and staying in comfort or not paying and living uncomfortably.
Ha Sun just a second.
What is it? Did you think of what you want to eat?
It's not that...
I'm really really sorry but is it possible for me to get the money back?
What?
I'm sorry. Honestly, my mom said that she needs money urgently.
-Is that so? -I'm sorry Ha Sun.
No, don't worry about it.
Until I find a job and am able to pay for my living expenses, I will not do anything to make you spend extra money because of me.
-What? -I'll seriously eat little and use the bathroom minimally
and really really will not be a burden but rather help you to make money instead.
Thank you. I'll pay you the cab fare in yummy foods next time.
Something extremely good please.
Then get back safely.
I'll help you.
Excuse me?
I'll help you today since I'm here.
There you go.
It's going to take about 2 to 3 hours so wait it out even if it's a little uncomfortable.
Thank you so much every time.
Don't thank me, it's my job.
The antibiotics need to be kept refrigerated.
I forget all the time.
I'll put it your fridge.
I forgot to bring something. I'll be right back.
Go ahead then.
In the meantime, this pretty lady here is going to make sure you're not bored.
I'll be right back. You can keep her entertained.
Don't worry about it.
Jin Hee are you sure you don't want jajangmyun? The jajangmyun from this place is incredible.
Yes, I don't really want it.
-I'll clean that! -No, I can do it!
No, no. I'll do it, give it to me.
Alright then. Thank you.
Stay healthy mom. Your oldest son.
Your son must be in America.
My oldest is running a dry cleaner there.
Then why didn't you go with him?
He wants me to but what am I going to do there at such an old age?
I won't even be able to communicate with the people.
Nonetheless, he said he's coming to take me back with him.
You must be excited.
Of course. This time I'll go with him.
I can ride an airplane and go see my grandson.
You're probably tired from reading the letter to me and all. Have this.
Thank you.
Are you bored? Would you like me to turn the TV on for you?
The TV is broken.
Then would you like me to sing to you?
Just a second.
What are you doing?
I'm going to eat out of this bowl from now on.
How can you--
no, don't do that.
No really, this is the perfect amount for me.
Jin Hee what is that jajang? (jajang: black bean sauce)
I can eat it with the rice.
You're not going to eat banchan with us either? (banchan: side dishes)
This is good enough as banchan.
It's okay.
Why are you doing this?
Ha Sun, I'm really okay just eating this much.
Plus, it tastes really good.
Jin Hee are you a hamster, what are you doing?
I like the peels better. There's a lot more vitamins in it too.
Even still. Just eat this.
It's okay. I like this better.
If I eat this there's less food waste to throw out and you save on cost of trash bags too.
It's a 3 for 1.
Is it because of the living expenses? If it is you don't have to worry about it.
No, I really like this better.
I was able to get around comfortably today thanks to you.
Thank you.
I had fun.
I helped a bit, right?
Well...let's see...
-Give me your hand. -What?
Your hand.
You're probably exhausted so go get lots of rest.
Excellent job
Yoo Sun, here's the oven I borrowed from you.
You can put it down there.
It's japchae. (japchae: glass noodles with meat & vegetables)
I think I put in too much sesame oil so it might be too oily.
Do you want to try some?
Shall I?
I think it tastes fine.
That's a lot to try some...
You'll get indigestion.
I have a big mouth so I need to try this much to know.
You must be making seafood casserole.
Would you like me to taste this for you too?
No, no. It's okay.
I should try some, it looks a bit salty.
Hello.
Can I have some rice? The seafood casserole is so spicy.
-Rice? -Yes.
I'll just have one spoonful.
This is so spicy!
Good bye.
What's wrong with her?
I don't know. I asked her to taste some of the food and she ate like half of it.
Gye Sang!
You're coming home early today.
Yes. You must have bought something.
Anything good?
This is Yoon Gye Sang. Excuse me?
Yes I understand. I'll be right there.
I'll see you later.
Did something happen?
The grandmother you met collapsed.
What happened?
She has a pseudocyst in her pancreas.
she had a pancreato jejunostomy 2 years ago and
I think it might be because of her pancreatic juice.
It's an emergency so we need to operate on her immediately.
-What about her guardian? -I am her guardian.
Alright. Prepare for an operation.
Let Dr. Kim know it's an emergency. Now!
Wait here for a bit.
It must be a double charge. Ha Sun, come out here, it's a double charge!
This this this! Last time the newspaper man
came and picked up money for the paper but we just got a receipt for an automatic withdrawal.
He must have taken the money not knowing we have automated payments.
Really?
It would have been terrible if I didn't notice this.
We almost lost 30,000 won right in front of our eyes!
Oh and Ha Sun, what do you think about us getting rid of our internet service?
That way we can save another 30,000 won.
How can we get rid of our internet?
Everyone has a laptop anyways and the neighbor's wireless reaches us.
We shouldn't use the neighbor's wireless.
They build a tunnel from their house to ours. We gotta get something out of it too.
Let's take their internet!
But still--
That way we can save 30,000 won.
Jin Hee, you don't have to go overboard--
It's 500 won!
It's 500 won! If nobody else noticed we would have lost 500 won!
If this gets sucked in by a vacuum or something no one can find it!
Operation in progress
Hello.
Why are there so many ER patients today?
I'm gonna die.
Wasn't that Dr. Yoon Gye Sang earlier?
Didn't he get in trouble years back for operating on a patient without guardian consent?
I heard it was chaos at the time.
What happened?
You cancelled Go Min Ok's operation?
What do you think about this gastric adenocarcinoma?
Chief, I'll do the surgery.
I'm going to do that surgery.
How? The patient has no guardian or signed consent form. How are you going to operate on such a person?
-And then if something goes wrong? -I'll take responsibility for it.
You can't...
That's enough. Get out.
Chief!
If you really want to help the patient then volunteer or something.
There are plenty of community organizations and charities that--
I understand what you are saying.
Alright. Don't act impulsively and cause trouble.
This is all because I care about--
I'm telling you right now. This is a mistake.
Don't be impulsive, you're going to regret this later on.
Can you help me?
Alright.
-So what happened? -Of course it was a huge mess.
Everyone from the chief down had disciplinary action taken against them. I don't even want to talk about it, I still get the chills thinking about it.
I think that's about the time Dr. Yoon quit.
Wow, what an incredible man.
And what about the patient?
The patient?
They lived.
Ha Sun! Here.
What is this?
I can't help pay for the living expenses but I told you I would help you save money.
It's a list of the things I've done to save money.
The only expenses I've incurred is for use of water and I only ate food that was going to be thrown out.
As for electricity, I only used it when you and Julien were using it.
Even this paper, I used the back of a sheet of paper you had written on.
I hand wrote it to save on costs for using the computer, toner and electricity.
You shouldn't have...
Julien from now on, don't flush after you use the bathroom. I'll flush after I use it after you.
I can wash my face with the water you use to wash the rice so you don't have to drain the water.
From now on, you'll discover ways to be able to save on living expenses and discover ways to be more cost efficient.
At this rate, we'll become rich thanks to Jin Hee!
Right? If you clean out the fridge often you can save on electricity so I'll go clean out the fridge right now.
-Jin Hee why are you doing this? -Ha Sun, just let her be.
She said she needs to do this to feel better about living here for free.
You know, doesn't she remind you of a hybrid car?
Hybrid?
You know, the cars that require less gasoline and are cost efficient.
Seriously. She's Hybrid Jin Hee.
It's a sausage!
It expires today! What would have happened if I didn't discover it!
Oh no! The water's leaking!
It's a coupon!
Mix the leftover jajangmyun with rice
Use the danmooji and chujoreem as banchan
Fill up at the neighbor's while tasting the food
Eat the fish completely down to the bones
Use the search engine in 4 seconds
The fruit peels taste better
Clean the fridge and save electricity
Find all short circuits and water leaks
I save, save, save and save
I'm going to live my life saving and saving
I save, save, save and save
Everything I do is saving and saving
Gye Sang.
I thought you said that's your science fair exhibit.
I want to try launching it.
The grandmother gave it to me.
You know that the twinkling stars in the sky were actually stars hundreds of thousands of years ago, right?
Yes, I know.
Even though those stars no longer exist, we can still see them.
Just as how though the grandmother and your parents are no longer here, they're probably still with us.
The grandmother's candy flew into the sky in a matter of seconds.
Just as the grandmother and my parents, both Gye Sang and I will one day disappear like this.
In a sense, life is a miracle.
Compared to the eternal-lasting planets, our lives are so short
and it's only after I die that I am able to let the world know that I once existed.
However, just as the stars that existed hundreds of thousands years ago are now a shining light for us
can't our lives be a source of comfort one day for someone else?
