< Episode 13 >
(Help wanted, lodgings provided)
Welcome.
Hello.
I saw the sign. I'd like to work here.
You can't manage.
- I'm sure I can. - You can't.
You look too weak.
But I'm dang strong. I used to carry kegs of beer.
You can't do it. See how strong they look?
I'm a hard worker.
(Waiter needed)
Try this.
Not bad.
Really?
OK then.
I'll do that, you get mom and dad.
OK.
Mom, dad, Shi-wan cooked breakfast.
He did? Honey, let's eat.
Get up, mom. The kimchi stew's amazing.
I'm not hungry. Enjoy the meal.
Not with you like this.
- Get up. - Don't.
- Come on. - Please. Just leave me alone.
Get out of my face. Go, I said go.
Was Jung-wan the only son you had?
What?
Yes, I hate you all, so just get lost.
Would you be like this if I had died?
No, I bet you wouldn't.
You might even wish I died instead.
Shut up. How dare you say that.
It's true. She had a soft spot forJung-wan.
She would've done anything for him.
I never even got 1% of that...
Nah, even that's too much. Do you even know who I am?
What's got into this idiot?
I understand.
Jung-wan was obedient and bright. Of course you loved him more.
Want me to beat you up? Be quiet!
But still, I'm joining the army today.
Shi-wan cooked breakfast for me.
Can't you at least sit at the table?
I'm ugly, but I'm still your son.
Can you see me? Then get up and eat.
Get up.
See you soon.
I'll do just fine. Please don't think aboutJung-wan too much.
Eat well and sleep well, OK?
I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you.
- Take care. - OK.
You know your second son's a survivor.
I'm your son. Forever.
Jung-wan...
Jeez... He meant that much to you?
I'm off.
Why thatjerk...
I'll give him a ride.
It's too far away, forget it. Joining the army's no big deal.
Look at the girls.
Shi-wan, slow down. Why do they look so much prettier?
He's in another ad?
My goodness. I'm way better-looking than him.
See you in 3 years. Everything comes to him who waits.
Beware of the calm before a storm.
Just wait. I'll be back in force!
Dang.
Where are all your friends?
I told the girls to stay at home. The guys would kill me if they came.
I'll disappear in silence for a change.
It's better to go out with a bang. Why not let them kill you?
Hey, that's cool. ''It's better to go out with a bang.''
Shi-wan.
Did Jung-wan go out with a bang?
Yeah.
He loved, got married, and will have a baby.
I wonder what Geum-soon's doing.
Why mention her now?! Jung-wan died on his way to see her.
That's not her fault.
It is! He'd be fine if he hadn't married her.
Come on. Mom can say that, but not you.
Whatever, forget it.
I don't want to waste my time talking about her.
Will she have the baby?
Stop it! No girl in her right mind would have the baby!
11 PM to 7 AM? I can, starting today.
You have to work alone.
I don't mind. I'll do my best.
I'd rather hire a guy. Sorry.
I'll work hard. I've done it before, you know.
(Bank)
Miss.
Miss, we're closing now. Can you please leave?
Bye. Oh, miss.
The magazine...
Bye.
Nice, huh?
To London? When? For how long?
I'm leaving in a few weeks. I'll be there for at least 2 years.
Why spend 2 years studying makeup?
- Isn't 2 hours enough? - I won't waste my breath.
You can't teach factorization to someone who doesn't know the times tables.
Goodness.
Come home whenever you want to.
- Don't waste your time there. - Don't worry. I won't.
Dad, how come nothing looks good on you?
That outfit's a no-no. You should do something.
He wore it without me knowing.
This IS a no-no. You should know better by now.
Right?
Some things can't be helped. Everyone has their limit.
What?
Eun-jin, eat up.
Are you OK?
Yes. Are you two OK?
Did you hurt your head?
I'm OK.
Why won't she move? What does she want?
Are you OK? You should've been careful.
I'm sorry.
- What's she doing? - A cup's worth 5 cents.
Oh.
6 cups, that's 30 cents.
Thank you.
(10 cents)
Here.
It's OK. Don't want it? I want you to have it.
Hello?
Why didn't you ask for Geum-soon?
It was her mother-in-law. I can't talk to her.
Gosh, my heart is racing already. You think something's wrong?
You try calling Geum-soon again.
I did 30 minutes ago. Her phone's turned off.
I forgot.
I'm so worried.
Geum-ah, you call and ask for Geum-soon then.
Wait and see. Her calling won't make a difference.
They'll notice right away.
Still, why can't we call her?
Geum-soon's not a sinner. It's not her faultJung-wan died.
Then you make the call.
Want me to try?
Forget it.
Look at her.
She's so scared I'll bring Geum-soon back home.
No, I should do something.
Yes?
Who was it?
Why did he come out?
I thought Geum-soon would come to the door.
What now? I can't ring the bell again.
I just wanted to say hello.
Hi.
Gosh.
Hello, ma'am.
It's you. Everything OK?
Oh no, I'm sorry.
You're doing well too?
Of course, we're all fine.
Why are you...?
I came to attend a wedding.
I was hoping to see Geum-soon before going back home.
Oh, I see...
How is she settling in?
She's doing very well.
I see, that's good.
We talked yesterday and she said everyone's so nice to her.
I see...
Then could you... bring her out...?
Now? Wait here.
I think she went out with my mother.
Really?
I'll check if she's home.
OK.
Sorry, she's not home.
She's not?
Sorry you came all the way here.
It's OK, I didn't come to see her.
I just hope she doesn't get on everyone's nerves.
She's doing OK?
Yes. She's fine.
That's good.
Don't tell your parents I was here.
I won't.
Thanks. Bye.
I can find my way.
Geum-soon's really doing OK?
Yes, she is.
Take care.
Then where is she?
I don't know. I feel really bad.
We nearly kicked her out, but she didn't go home.
I said she was out, but I'm worried.
Geum-soon.
Wake up.
Geum-soon.
Wake up.
Jung-wan.
Jung-wan...
What happened? Why didn't you go home?
How did you find out?
I lost my wallet.
Where have you been the past 2 days?
- Hey. - Hello, sir.
Why didn't you go home?
She lost her wallet.
You need money? Shi-wan, go get your wallet.
No, sir.
It's not that.
Sir. Can't I stay here?
Can't I stay and have the baby?
Why stay here when Jung-wan's dead?
But...
Your grandma came by.
She thinks you live here, so go home before it's too late.
Sir, let me stay here.
I'll have the baby.
I can't change my mind even if Jung-wan's dead.
It's his baby.
Sir.
Then just for a while. Until the baby's born.
I have nowhere to go.
I'll get a job and move out once the baby's born. Please?
Come in for now.
Thank you, thank you.
My wife is sick, so be quiet.
We'll talk tomorrow.
OK.
Come in.
Who was it?
Your fever's gone down already?
I feel a bit better. Who was it?
Geum-soon.
Who?
