Episode 9
I'll stay over there.
Are you embarrassed?
A little...
Don't back out on me. I don't even know how to set a table.
I'll set the table, then.
Bow down to the ground twice, making a wish.
Take rice cake, scatter it around, and sprinkle rice wine on the tires.
Let's do it together.
It's not my car.
But it's for OUR business, right?
Let's just do it. I'm embarrassed too.
Well...
Don't care about them. Let's bow.
Bless our business to be popular and prosperous as this restaurant.
You don't say a word?
Keep us from any car accident and bless our business.
Now throw the fish. The head should face the restaurant.
Is that so?
Well...
Perfect.
I feel good after doing this.
With this done, we must do well.
Sure.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Good night.
You're late.
I am.
Did the alarm ring?
Yep.
I didn't hear it and kept sleeping.
Because you're tired. You need a rest today.
Is rice done?
Yes. Ready to eat.
What do you think we share this with Jedoug? He's your partner now.
If you want.
Yes?
Have some bean-paste stew.
Oh, thank you.
How's Mr. Shirikawa's health?
He's gotten better since he started horse-riding.
That's a good sport, improving movement of the intestines.
That's right.
How's his investment in Macao?
No further investment.
Mr. Shirikawa told me he should have listened to your advice.
Did he?
I made a reservation at Grand Hotel as before.
Ok.
Hello.
It's me.
Aren't you on board yet?
I'm going to. Goodsoon's not home, is she?
No. She went out to a bookstore.
Her cellphone is turned off.
Really?
On my way to the airport, I saw her hugging with a boy.
Are you sure it's Goodsoon?
Had I been alone, I would have gotten off the car and caught her.
I'll ask her when she's home. Don't worry and have a good trip.
I can't believe this girl...
Are you sure it's a boy?
Yeah, he was putting his hand around her waist... Lock her up when she's back!
Ok.
We took so many pictures, didn't we?
Because pictures last forever.
Should we have bought some presents?
The kids wouldn't like us spending money on that.
But our mothers could expect them.
Right, your mother must be expecting it, huh?
Can you recall everything?
I think I forgot most of them.
I heard women rarely forget bitter memories.
Let's see, they'll land at 2...
Counting baggage claims... they could be home around 4?
Or maybe 5...?
Are you almost done?
Have to memorize, since I can't read.
Is Kyle out?
Yes. Jade and I will initiate, and you guys back up.
We'll deliver it by 3:30 before the wedding starts at 5.
Yes, to Namsan Hotel.
Ok. Bye.
The tall guy seems not around.
Oh. He's on vacation.
Oh...
I'm home.
You! Come in my room!
Why?
Who were you with until now?
A friend.
A boyfriend?
No.
Don't lie. Dad saw you with a boy and called me.
Didn't he left for Japan?
Can't believe you're seeing a boy.
It's not a boy. She's Dongja, my classmate.
Are you saying your dad mistook a girl for a boy?
She was wearing her brother's clothes.
Why a girl in boy's outfit?
Her mother told her to wear it since clothes are too expensive.
Are they that poor?
No. But that's the way her mother is.
I don't think your dad will believe you.
Then I'll bring her home. He'll believe if he sees her.
My heart sank after I got a call from him.
I don't date a boy. Boys are immature.
Dad also saw her hand around your waist.
So? We are friends. Didn't you hug your friends when little?
Yeah, I love that. Do it once more.
It's awesome.
Hi, where's Prince?
Sleeping.
Wasn't it hard to do housework?
Nothing new to say that.
Amber, get me some water.
He's like a sleeping angel.
Didn't he cry for us?
No.
Ruby, go on a date.
With whom?
In this group tour, there was a wealthy-looking couple.
They liked my look and asked if I have a daughter.
I said 'Yes', and they asked if she's pretty.
So I told my second daughter was the May queen.
When they asked your age, I answered that you're 26.
The truth is their cousin owns a building in a business district, and he's rich.
He has tens of thousand dollars of rental income monthly.
He's 35 and has never been married.
Because he nitpicks a woman's appearance.
Since he's rich, he doesn't look for wealth in a woman.
He only looks at education level, appearance, and age.
You are exactly what he's looking for.
But he's older than her by 9 years!
Doesn't matter so long as he's rich.
What does he do?
I don't need to know.
Why not?
He's busy with collecting rent and managing the building.
So?
Don't sneer. He doesn't have to worry about lay-off or retirement.
You always wished to have a rich husband.
I didn't say I liked an old man.
He's not old. Also, it's better to marry an older man who'll adore you. Am I right?
Huh? You're right.
Your dad and I are of the same age, and we fought a lot since he didn't give me an inch.
Just see him, ok? I'll make an appointment.
That's not an urgent matter. We need to talk.
Ok, what is it?
Let's live away for one or more years.
Who lives away from whom?
You two from us.
Are you leaving to somewhere?
No, you two are leaving. Not us.
To where?
To grandmas' houses.
Come on.
I'm not joking.
I don't understand what you're talking about.
So, are you asking us to leave home?
Yes.
Why?
Because we can't live with you anymore.
Why not? What did we do wrong to you?
You really don't know?
Wait, is it because I got the surgery and owed money?
Those two only?
What is it out of the blue...
I ran onto a bike last week because of you.
Don't try to shift the blame on us.
We're to blame for your failure to be a drama writer, for your career as a nurse,
and for your failure in the second exam?
Did you run onto the bike thinking it's me?
It's because of birds...
Ever since you pushed me into the birds when I was little, I got scared of birds.
Pushed? I just wanted take a nice picture of you.
How nice a picture would look with birds flying around you!
What's with taking pictures?
Why did you have to push a little girl into them and make me a fool?
Stop being ridiculous!
Do you know what friends think of me?
They ask me what's wrong with birds. They just don't understand.
I was so scared of them with fear, but my friends never understood why.
There're pigeons everywhere. I get away from them everytime,
and I have to deal with that for the rest of my life.
Well, I'm sorry. We didn't know you'd become like this.
You shouldn't have forced a little girl when she's so scared.
Which is important, taking a photo or protecting your daughter?
You're right. We were ignorant and foolish.
You acted unusual. Other kids liked taking pictures.
Then why don't you eat pork? Everybody else likes to eat those.
You've never admitted your mistake.
Hey, no one is 100% perfect.
You can at least try to be 70% perfect.
Then how perfect am I in your eyes?
Frankly speaking, not even 30%.
Don't be ridiculous!
You grew up fine and that proves that I am a good mother.
Haven't you heard "like father like son"?
Look at yourself. Who do you think raised you guys?
Thanks to me, you didn't at least go astray. Ok?
We've struggled hard not to live like you and Dad.
My goodness! Not to live like us?
Is that what you can say to your mother? Ha!
Lower your voice.
How can I lower the voice?
They don't appreciate us one bit, and they're asking us to leave!
Well, I can understand you but...
Then please honor our decision.
No!
Why not? You can live with grandmas...
If you were in our shoes, would you come to us when your child abandon you?
I have dignity and face to save!
We won't cause trouble to our children and they will respect us.
Give me some respects. Anyone can make a few mistakes.
A few mistakes?
Should I remind you all your mistakes?
Sure. Go ahead. Like what?
Hasn't been long since you changed bad drinking habits.
True.
Whenever you're drunk, you woke us up.
It was when I was in second grade, right?
Yeah. November.
What a good memory.
You were drunk as usual and you yelled at us to bring our backpacks to search.
Do you know how terrified we were?
You kept yelling at us that our backpacks were whole mess.
When Jade at last spoke for us, you slapped her in the face!
Do you know what I was thinking?
"I wish I didn't have a Dad... I wish I lived away from him..."
Whenever you didn't come home till late,
I used to pray that you wouldn't come home that night.
Korean fathers are usually like that.
Not all fathers are like that.
But it's true in my generation.
Remember when we lost our house due to your stock investment?
You swore not to speculate in stocks, but did you keep your word?
You did it again in 2007, and we had to move here.
You know he never keeps his promise.
How about you? You are worse than me.
Come on, it was only minor promises.
Minor?
Have I ever made you homeless?
You've wasted as much money as dad.
That's right. The pot calls the kettle black. She wasted all my hard-earned money.
Compared to you, mine is nothing.
Didn't you hear what Coral said? Just admit your errors!
The most shocking thing was...
Huh? Are there more?
How could you eat a puppy that we'd cherished so much?
He'll eat even a rat if it increases his stamina.
Aren't you sick of bringing up that story again?
You broke our heart in pieces.
Let's say there's a bottle of wine you cherish to the point of a single drop.
What if we open the bottle and wash our face since it's good for our skin?
You killed a living creature, not a mere dog but our family pet.
He's from Mondo Cane.
I bet he'll eat the door if it's good for stamina.
Be quiet.
I didn't do anything lacking common sense.
You are bold in word only. You're worse than I am, and the kids are the witness.
Why not bring up the story? The audio incident.
You wanna a punch?
Go ahead.
You little!
With the little money you brought, I barely managed family affairs.
While I didn't have money to do my hair,
you bought a $8,000 stereo, and it turned out a lemon in two months.
That incident still infuriates me.
It was for our kids' emotional cultivation!
Emotional cultivation? You bought it to practice ballroom dance.
Thank God I didn't lose my mind back then.
The most unbearable thing was why you had to fight in front of us,
when we were still young and vulnerable.
Where can we fight?
On a riverside or in an empty lot.
How would you feel if we fought so hard in front of you?
You didn't care how much it hurt us. You always vented your anger first.
Driving us to the verge of insanity, you always did what you want.
Become good parents yourselves then. It's just your luck to have an incapable dad.
Then just accept our decision.
Hey! Children can't desert their parents as parents can't to their children!
Now it's enough!
It's not that we're deserting you.
When you're retired, we'll support you and pay medical bills.
We're only to live separately.
Why should I leave when my family's here?
I see your point. I do. So please stop.
Your dad won't make any troubles again. No more.
He solemnly promised me in Japan.
This isn't the first time you solemnly promised us.
But this is different.
As for Prince, we have to support his education after you retire next year.
You always lay burdens upon us, not being a help.
I'd rather rely on Prince than on you.
You're exactly like your mom.
Don't you know why I cheated on her?
Didn't I tell you I felt lonely with your mom since she's never trusted me?
There you go again. Did you already forget your words?
A wife must trust her husband to deepen his sense of responsibility.
You ignored me in front of them, and now she's ignoring me.
How did you educate her?
Then why did you have to ashame us by telling about our family affairs?
What shame?
A son of your friend was in my class. One day he asked me,
Is that true you mom is an alcoholic and a gambler?
Do you know how embarrassed I was?
Listen, he's my friend, and I only shared my story with him.
No, you always talk bad about Mom and tell on our family.
Although you may fight with her, you can't talk bad about her to others, right?
You can say that again.
If you hated her that much, you shouldn't have stayed married.
How could a husband badmouth his wife to strangers? It's degrading yourself.
I think you should leave the house alone.
You are so mean...
You leave the house with them!
I've worked hard to support you guys. Why should I leave?
You and I are troublemakers when we are together.
Why don't you just live alone and have fun with other women.
Can't believe you're so gifted in accusing me.
I fully understand that you've been hurt.
But like you guys, I'm...
I'm a victim, too.
I've tried my utmost to not make you orphans.
Otherwise, I would have gone crazy and ruined our lives.
Look, Ms. Heja Pi. I'm a real victim.
Being a man, I tried to tolerate your mistakes.
Had I kept a record of it, it would make a volume.
My story would make 10 volumes!
Come on, there's no husband, no father better than me.
You don't know how lucky you are.
Did I fail to put food on table? Did I fail to support your education?
That's parental duties.
So you take it for granted?
Remember, when you had an affair with the karaoke owner,
we were too poor to buy a lunch?
One day, your wallet was open on the table, and I found $150 cash inside.
When I asked you for lunch money and reached for the wallet,
you smacked me with it, saying that I was rude.
No money to spend for your own children, but plenty for your mistress!
I know... It was when Jade was 13 years old,
when he's gone crazy for a restaurant waitress.
In those days, he only brought home 2 bags of rice on a payday, and that's it.
Now you've grown to an adult,
so your dad can't treat me as bad as before but...
I was battered a lot in those days.
I can't understand you either.
What?
Why did you stay with him when he kept cheating on you?
Because of you guys. I couldn't make you fatherless!
That's not true. As I see, a couple usually sticks to their own kind.
If they're not in the same league, they can't last long together.
But if the two are similar, they'd fight, but stick together at the expense of their kids.
Now you turned your criticism toward me again. Hey, we both are women...
Fine, it's all my fault!
I should have divorced him earlier and sent you guys to an orphanage, right?
Forgive me that I've raised you and put you through college.
Actually, you didn't pay our college tuition.
We got student loans and worked hard to pay back.
We also paid your debt with the money we earned.
Just once?
Hey, stop arguing with her. I gave her up long time ago.
Remember she got into a cult, and dedicated all the money available to her?
Gosh, it was terrible... Without us, you might have been sent to a mental hospital.
Would I have done that if it hadn't been that bad?
My only husband kept cheating on me, and I couldn't rely on anybody.
If I didn't consider you a wife, I would have divorced you. If you were a man...
Oh, shut up!
Ok....
Make sure you'll be born again as a woman in next life.
I'll be your husband and do the same!
No thank you. Aren't you sick of me? I am.
Meet you again in next life? You must be joking.
You think it's because I love you?
It's to pay you back what you've done to me!
What I've done to you?
Don't fight in front of us again. Just make a decision.
You talk as if your life was miserable, but it wasn't.
What?
Not many mothers enjoyed that many trips as you did.
You havn't missed any single seasonal travel for pleasure.
On top of that, you would go on a trip to get rid of stress,
or to enjoy gourmet food of the season, no matter how far.
You travelled abroad where we've never been. Is that what you call a miserable life?
I know.
You can travel and enjoy gourmet food too.
Remember you were once arrested for disorderly conduct at a tourist resort?
She brought a lot of shame upon us. Compared to her, I'm nothing.
Dancing, drinking, and gambling... endless.
She struggled not to divorce you. You too were almost arrested for an adultery.
Why don't you just shut your pie hole?
I don't have more patience for you. A pie hole?
Didn't ask you to be patient. Hit me if you want!
And I will do the same to you.
We moved your stuff to grandma's house.
No more scene in front of us, please.
Which grandma?
Goong grandma.
She could be shocked.
If you had cared for her, you wouldn't have lived like that.
You just don't understand marriage life.
I'm not gonna marry. All my illusions about marriage were shattered by you!
Whatever. A man makes a good wife. If your dad had done well,...
No, a wife makes a good husband. Get it right.
That's only an ad copy. In reality, a man makes a good wife.
If a man is faithful, caring, and makes good money, his wife will be nice.
Yes, I travelled a lot.
And thanks to that, I am still healthy.
You don't want me in an expensive sickbed because of stress, do you?
You know only one side of the story.
You released your stress through travelling, eating, and gambling.
Then what about us?
We didn't have that luxury, while our heart got shrunken from fear and hurt.
How do you think we are?
Are you diagnosed with incurable disease?
Seems you prepared a lot to confront us, and I feel as if we are criminals.
But compared to other fathers, I'm nothing. Yes, I slapped Jade.
But other than that, have I habitually beaten you?
Have I ever exploited you for money?
Have I deserted your mom and made you raised under stepmom?
One of my friends' father threatens his son when he doesn't get pocket money.
As for me, except that I speculated on stocks and...
Because you co-signed some papers, we had to move to a bulb.
Don't you know Ruby and I suffered commuting school from there?
Well, that's a...
Are those things we've talked about trifles?
Mom, you would always bluff about things.
In a PTA meeting, you put up a front to make a big donation,
and later, you asked for an installment plan.
Who on earth would give installment donation to school?
You brought enough shame on your children.
I begged you not to say anything, but you boasted as if I was a big writer.
Every neighbor asked what drama I wrote when I didn't write any drama.
Why did you have to put your children in an awkward position?
Honey, I'm sure they conspired...to throw us out.
You can't do this to us!
When we were poor, we've never thought about deserting you.
As our children, how can you do this to us?
By the time we're useless lying in sickbed, you'll poison our food. Am I wrong?
Probably. People will point a finger at you if they know what you're doing.
You ungrateful kids!
Yes, we are ungrateful.
I don't care whether people point a finger or throw stones at us.
But we don't want to die watching you two...
We're really on the verge.
We're not deserting you homeless. Why should we fight yet live in one house?
Please, we're begging you.
We've reached the limit.
Just one more happening...
it will make us really crazy.
We made this decision since it might be better than having a heart attack.
I just can't stand it anymore, so is Ruby,
and so is Coral.
Do you really want to see us go wrong?
You don't, right?
This is not a show.
Whenever you make a trouble, I feel my heart's gonna stop.
Coral and I suffer high blood pressure in these days.
Just once, put yourself in our shoes, and imagine how we'd feel.
Just once... in our position...
I see.
Let's leave.
We'll stay in the same block.
It's not a farewell.
But it's more heartbreaking than the last farewell.
So you already moved our stuff?
Yes.
Never have I imagined that you guys would do this to us.
I'll come to take Prince later when he wakes up.
We'll look after him.
Why?
It doesn't make sense you raise him, and he's our brother after all.
He'll be with us longer than you.
We need to give him our affection.
Is he your only family?
How come you're sending me away, while looking after a son of an unknown woman?
For he's your brother.
We'll reflect on ourselves...
You also should put yourself in our shoes and reconsider.
It's not an easy job to be a family head.
So is the job of a housewife.
Even preparing three meals a day in a row isn't easy.
But you can manage well since you're smart.
Amber, bring him out if he woke up.
Would you be ok?
Don't worry, they are tireless.
Don't worry.
Prince, grow up well and don't give them a hard time.
Stop sounding plaintive. Get up.
How's your trip?
Hi.
You take the bag.
Make sure to lock up the door.
Ok.
Prince.
Oh, stop... Don't come out. I'll go out.
Are they going on another trip?
No.
Don't cry.
Oh, what's the mourning? Stop crying.
Prince might be hungry.
They should be ok, right?
Mom and Dad are strong. Don't worry.
Let's have dinner somewhere.
You go ahead.
Aren't you hungry?
Gees! How can you attack me along with the kids?
Didn't you attack me with them?
I am a woman.
That's not an excuse.
I once decided to be good to you, but I'm really put off by your attitude today
So?
Let's not see each other for awhile.
You started first on their side, talking about this and that.
As I heard them, I thought Jade was right. My mistake.
I should have left you earlier, so that I wouldn't have had to face today.
Are you saying it's all my fault?
Isn't it? Had you not cheated on me, I would be a better wife.
As the children said, I made so many mistakes.
Let's eat something first.
I'll sort out your clothes. Come and take it tomorrow.
Aren't you coming with me?
No! I know how your mom would treat me.
I had enough with the kids, so no more with your mom, ok?
Then I'll go with you to your mother's place.
What?
You don't want a separation in this situation, do you?
Not a separation, but maybe a divorce.
Hey! We can't divorce after all our patience. Honey. Heja.
Don't call my name. You don' deserve it.
I do, for you are still my wife.
Retrace what the kids mentioned, and regret your wrongdoings one by one.
How about you?
You caused all this. If I had married a faithful man, I wouldn't be this bad!
Too late to be sorry. But we raised our children well. No one went astray. Right?
Strictly speaking, did we raise them? They grew by themselves.
Fine, it's all my fault.
Bring my bag to me tomorrow.
Honey... Hey, Look! Hey!
There's a sushi restaurant behind this gas station. Hey!
It's already 7:30 but so calm.
I know. Didn't they return from Japan?
That's not possible.
Give them a call.
Let's wait 30 more minutes.
It'll be either this or that...
Either agreed to live - or are arguing fiercely.
What do you think?
Hello?
It's me.
Hi.
Didn't your parents come back yet?
They did.
Put them on the phone.
They left home around 6:30.
What did you say?
We told you yesterday.
Huh? Then did you throw them out at last?
Ohh... Where the heck are they now?
They couldn't have done something foolish, right?
Good luck, heartless kids!
Sangsik?
Where's Heja?
She just went in.
To my place?
Yes.
What a shame.
Mother.
Let me stay in your house.
But it's too small to hold three persons.
Your mother is worried. Go to her, quick.
Look at you.
I had enough. Don't say a word.
Why not?
I've heard about people deserted by their spouses, but not by their children.
How can you be deserted by your children? You poor! Didn't I warn you?
Mom, I am not myself because of it. Please stop.
You should have resisted. How come you're kicked out?
I'm not. It's only a temporary separation.
Come on, that's only your version.
Take your bag and go to your mother-in-law.
I'm not stupid to go there.
Stupid? You should go to her since you're married to her son.
Now.
Then? Do you think she'll give me a hug? Don't you know her?
You earned it!
I will not go. Never!
When she was a baby I wished she grew well.
When she was a student, I wished she'd studied well.
After she graduated, I wished she'd meet a nice husband...
But she fell in love with a playboy and married him to my sorrow.
And every day, they'd fight each other...
I've waited and waited till she comes to her senses, but...
Now, she's deserted by her children and came back to me?
An old saying that love of children is an eternal encumbrance is so true.
Mom, at least I didn't desert you.
I'll wait and see how well they live by themselves.
They'll beg me to come back when they get married, right?
I'll give them a hard time before going back.
Looks delicious.
Get some newspapers.
What is broken?
A pencil-stand.
Why were you moving it?
You guys use the room.
Hey, we don't need a studyroom.
But you're writing practice pieces.
Your study is more important than my writing. Put things back.
Right, you should take the room.
But you can't change clothes here.
That's not a big deal.
I don't feel comfortable.
Just listen to us.
Ruby!
Ruby Goong!
I missed you so much.
Wait a sec.
Ooh, I needa pee.
That's the restroom.
What so funny?
Nothing.
Taste this.
Did you make it?
Yes.
I'm sorry it's cold.
You know the taste best when it's cold.
Ruby. Let's go back to the way things were.
Who is he?
Her ex-boyfriend. A bit bland.
Is it bland?
Yes. Common people like food rather salty.
I see. I'll try again. .
But it's delicious. Can I have this?
Sure.
Ruby... Do something, please?
Ruby...
What are you looking at?
Can't I do stretching? Even at home?
Excuse me.
Yes?
Haven't we met before?
Well?
I don't think so.
I'll make it again.
Ok.
I'm so sure I met him before.
Wasn't he a patient?
No.
Let's talk somewhere else.
Persuade my mom.
You can do it if you're willing.
Get me some water...
How are you?
Hi.
Your sandwich the other day was really good.
Wasn't it hard to find our house?
Nope. I never forget a place I've been to.
I also have a good memory of phone numbers, and I've seen that man before.
Recently?
No, I don't think so.
Thank you!
Try to recall who he is.
Hi, Mom.
I'm hanging out with my friends.
I didn't drink much.
Ok. Yes.
Let's go.
Ruby. I really...
You know my heart, right?
I'll see you later.
Did you have dinner?
Yes. Why?
Jedoug made sausage stew. I like to share...
Then let me have some. For breakfast tomorrow.
Ok.
Have you ever eaten sausage stew?
Of course.
Good night.
Ok, thank you.
You look tired, honey?
I'm ok. Where's Goodsoon?
In her room, with her friend.
Goodsoon, daddy's home.
Welcome back home.
Oh,thanks.
Dad.
I told you to come down with your friend.
She's in the restroom.
Are you hungry?
No.
Dongja, come downstairs.
Is her name Dongja?
Yeah.
Yeah? You sound rude..
I'm the youngest child.
So?
Dad, isn't she the one?
Her hairstyle is similar.
Hey, bring it here.
I'll show you evidence.
Can I get you a cup of tea?
Mr. Shirikawa doesn't recommend a tea before a meal. It's no good.
Dad, give me a present for me.
What present?
You got mom a present though, didn't you?
Do you want dinner now?
Please.
These clothes, right?
It's my brother's clothes. My mother wants me to wear it to save money.
Flush the toilet.
The guy didn't flush after using it.
So, it's over. There'll be no wedding reception, huh?
Mind your own business.
But you mind other's business, and take care of him.
Me? Whom?
You gave Jedoug bean-paste stew this morning.
It's a sharing, not taking care of him.
Then you should have shared it with me too.
I moved here first.
You've known me longer than him, and must have grown more feelings.
I have no affection for you.
I didn't say affection is the only feeling.
I thought Americans didn't like bean-paste stew.
I told you I was raised by a Korean mother.
I'm a lover of kimchi stew and bean-paste stew.
Also, isn't it common sense to ask me as well?
Are you saying I have no common sense?
Let alone common sense, I think you have no heart.
There's a Korean saying,
You may make your dog beg for food, but not your neighbors.
Did I make you feel that way? I didn't ask you because you're an American and....
From now on, count me in.
By the way, don't you Koreans call that kind of guy "a mama boy"?
Mom! Did you wash the grapes?
Yes.
Mom, you need to clean up the house. Give things you don't use to others.
I need them all.
I've never seen you use these.
It's my place. Stop nagging.
Give me $70.
I did yesterday.
I paid a lesson fee.
What lesson?
Swimming.
What? Do you swim?
Swimming is a good sport for old ladies.
Someone must have tempted you again. You don't have a swimming suit.
My neighbor gave me one.
It must be Sangsik.
It's me. Open the door.
Mom, tell her that I'm sleeping.
You deal with her.
Oh, Mom...
Yes.
Hello, Mother.
Where's Sangsik?
Isn't he with you?
No. What happened?
We parted from each other.
When?
About 2 hours ago.
Not sure?
Have a seat.
Were you eating grapes?
Because I wanted something sweet.
Did you have dinner?
Only a little.
I'm asking her. Are you her spokesman?
Weren't you kicked out together?
Yes.
They're not kicked out.
They only agreed to live separately to give a studyroom to Coral.
Don't talk nonsense. You and I heard Jade and Ruby yesterday!
You're kicked out, you came here alone, but where on earth is Sangsik?
He must be drinking somewhere.
A husband and a wife must stay together.
How did you separate? Huh?
To go to each place.
Who said that? Was it Sangsik or was it you?
She's not a criminal.
Don's cut my talk.
Both of us said that.
Very well! What if he goes missing?
He'll come back.
While you don't know where your husband is, you have an appetite for the grapes.
Are you that comfortable?
We made up our mind after giving it a lot of thought. Do you have any regret?
Nope.
I'm concerned about you taking care of us.
But we have peace in mind. Usually people get illness from heavy stress.
Mom and Dad also don't have to hear us complain. Better for their mental health.
That's right.
It's gonna be harder to live on our own but let's focus on our vision,
and more than anything else, let's keep our relationship close.
Cheers!
Where have you been?
Did you have dinner?
Yes. .
So what's your plan? Call Heja and take those bags with you.
To where?
You know where. Her mother's home.
I don't feel comfortable with her mother.
You earned it!
But Heja is as worse as you. You two are all square.
Call her.
I'll take the bags tomorrow.
Why did Dr. Yoo come? Can't let you go?
Maybe.
Then try to find a way to make up.
No thank you.
I don't think you really loved him.
Girls are clear in ending a relationship.
You guys taught me that women are hard to deal with.
We're somewhat like women of the world.
You are not women of the world.
I can't leave the skinhead alone.
Don't be bothered, or you can get attached to him.
Amber, gather your friends to learn English. You learn for free.
Kyle might teach us conversational English but not test prep.
You learn colloquial English with your co-workers. At a low price.
Should I? Actually I need to speak English for travel abroad.
Where did Dr. Yoo meet Jedoug?
I didn't ask.
Ask him tomorrow.
Ok.
The sausage stew was really good.
I know. It's quite unexpected.
Do you think you'll pay to eat?
Definitely! If I have money, I'll spend it on a meal like that.
He might have been a cook, no?
Does he drive well?
Yes. Seems he's experienced.
Can we use his car once in a while?
Why?
I love riding a car. My next boyfriend must have one.
What do you wanna do with a new boyfriend?
With holding his hand, take a walk in a park like this.
Then you don't need a car.
We'll drive to a park for a short walk. Too much walking is irritating.
Minor irritations can lead to break up.
Prince, isn't Ruby funny?
We should let him go to sleep.
It's been a while since I slept with you like this, right?
Mom, don't give me a sigh.
If you were in my position, woudn't you?
I wasn't kicked out from my parents-in-laws.
This is more miserable and shameful.
Your mother-in-law and your husband are strangers in a sense.
But the children are like your other self and they abandoned you.
What is that? Did she come again?
What?
My mom sent me here.
There's no room for you.
You can spread a comforter here.
A husband and a wife should stay together.
You go with him.
Mom....
Just go.
Take her with you.
What's wrong with you...
Umm, delicious! Perfect.
I'll write down the recipe.
What did the other guys say?
Delicious. They agreed it's worth paying money for.
Cut your finger?
Yes.
Haven't you done kitchen work before?
No.
Be careful about infection.
Ok. What time do you go work tomorrow morning?
Very early, since I didn't prepare anything tonight. I'll leave at 4:30a.m.
I see.
Who is it?
It's me.
What?
Please open the door.
Are you alone or with her?
With her.
Go away!
Oh, Mom...
Go away!
Am I a pingpong ball? My mother-in-law and you are tossing me like...
Just go! I'm sleeping!
Let's go to an inn.
You go alone.
You mother can't do this to me.
Can't do what?
I gave her pocket money thousand times.
But she's so cold. Am I a stranger?
Not only money. You gave her troubles as well.
You can't say that to me.
I'm tired to say more. Just stop.
Same here.
Come back.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure, come in.
All set?
Almost.
You must pray hard tonight.
Right. I wanted to see you to say... you can come and work a part-time.
Can I?
I'll pay more than minimum.
Okie dokie.
Do you go to temple everyday?
Yeah.
To assist the priests with errands, and to show my mentor how determined I am.
I feel peaceful whenever I go there. Wanna come with me sometime later?
Isn't it too far from here?
It's in Suyu-dong.
Oh...
You're dating with Jade, right?
No.
No?
No. We are only partners.
Then were you late the other day because of the business?
The day I got the car? We only did a rite.
She taught me how to do it since I didn't know anything about it.
Oh I see. You looked intimate, so I thought...
Come to the restaurant anytime you want.
Do you know where their parents went?
They're in Japan.
No, they returned home this afternoon, but then left again with tears.
Mr. Goong almost wailed holding the baby. Have no idea?
No.
They left like that, but the children seemed indifferent, doing their routines.
Maybe someone in their families passed away.
Did the boy's real mother pass away? Then Mrs. Goong didn't have to go...
How about sounding Jade out about it tomorrow?
I'm not good at sounding out.
What did she say sending you back here?
She didn't even open the door.
Geez... how could your mother-in-law shun you?
I'll write down the recipe.
It's strange that he knows the English word 'Recipe' when he's only a laborer.
