Her number.
Her parents died when she was young.
Find out how and of what.
That will take a little longer.
If Nadan finds out he might hold it against me.
I can't trust the service.
What?
But if I'm right, it's simplicity itself.
Cleaning up?
I will.
Hello.
Lunch tomorrow.
Okay.
What shall we have? Any cravings?
Not especially.
Something is up for sure.
I'll text you the address.
Okay.
Are you going to tell Nadan again?
Suit yourself.
Okay.
Mm, goodni...
Little.
What?
Ill-mannered little...
Hanging up on ME?
Yaya? She thought you were done.
Make up with her.
We never know about tomorrow.
Look at us.
Tomorrow, an hour from now, we just don't know.
We can't nurse grudges, especially not family.
This isn't the first time or the hundredth.
Look at me and Yaya.
I asked for nothing more than a meal with my mother when she was alive.
Just some soup, some sides, some kimchi.
Roasted croaker, steamed then baked.
Back and forth till it was just right.
Let her be her.
Let her give Songjun the choicest bits.
She still won't treat me better.
Your mother is in the wrong, she doesn't understand you.
But look at what she's done.
Feeding you, clothing you.
You clean your room?
No.
Then who does?
We can't judge someone based on one thing.
Are you happy?
No, huh?
Don't be like us. We're full of regrets, Yaya and me.
We should have been better to each other.
In front of Yaya's brother.
What good does this do?
Treat your family and loved ones well while you have them.
You could lose them overnight.
Especially the elderly.
Like my dad.
Exactly.
Hold on.
Enjoy.
Hey.
Evenin'.
Can I get $5 worth of those small ones?
Sure.
How many?
Three.
Little guy.
We'll start cooking lessons tomorrow.
Very good.
Better than any school.
You're so busy.
Not compared to all you've been through.
Thanks.
You need to get some sleep.
Okay.
She and Sonji...
We'll give her Sonji's room.
Okay.
They're here.
Goodnight.
Uh-huh.
Come in.
Sorry for the trouble.
Not at all. You cold?
Yes. Night and all.
What's this?
Sweet taters.
I love these.
Here.
They're best hot.
They'll warm us up.
Oh?
Use this room.
Uh-huh.
Forget being a manager.
Take off for a while, a month at least.
You're not yourself.
You must see that.
I'll explain later.
What?
Travel is good for the soul.
You need time to clear your mind.
You'll find a better man in time.
You never know.
I see that you're concerned.
Thank you.
But never mind?
You wouldn't understand.
The taters were delicious.
Even better for being from you.
Sorry. I was wrong.
You'll get all the best cuts.
Whatever.
And for dinner?
The platter of nine delicacies.
Of course.
I'll find a way to fix you.
You think I reared him for the likes of you?
Never mind that Jia will have Hwaom someday.
What?
Go on.
Pick me instead.
There's no one else for me.
I'm tired of all this.
What are you saying?
Marry me.
Hwaom.
What was that? Did I hear you right?
Have you gone insane?
Mother.
Are you up?
The cabbage...
I'm off to wash the cabbages.
They can't wait.
Songjun will have done it.
Come in.
Oh.
Hey.
I would have done it.
This is man's work.
I always do it at my house.
Let me.
Too late. This is the last one.
It's pickled perfectly.
Check it.
It's perfect.
Right?
You must be hungry.
Nah, but I wouldn't say no...
...to some coffee?
Sure.
Um...
Back in the day cafes had an egg in their morning coffee.
I've always wondered about that.
I'll make it. I've wondered myself.
Good morning.
Morning.
Sleep well?
Yes.
What? You didn't?
I did.
Two tangerines each for dessert.
He used to have 7 or 8 as a boy.
Not just tangerines.
Half a watermelon sometimes.
True.
And yet you're still short.
Watch that mouth of yours.
Sir.
Yaya made the seaweed today.
Ah. Well done indeed.
She's a quick study.
Why are you sighing?
I don't know. Yaya's impending wedding, I guess.
I'm worried for her.
Does your mother suffer?
Yaya's still young.
The age for doing things.
A face like a flower, wilted too soon.
The girls from my class all have kids now.
Their faces are droopy.
Here we go.
They're waiting a year.
One year, two, it's all the same.
He won't wait.
He called?
He wants to set a date next week.
He has guts!
And you agreed, just like that?
This is your wedding, why didn't you say something?
Are we out of line? This is all for you.
Let me tell you about men...
You're spitting everywhere.
Gunpowder burns out fast.
Men want what they want.
He looks sweet enough, but a man's a man.
Not sweet. Handsome.
Dry wood burns best.
True.
Dad, c'mon, dry wood, seriously?
What?
What's that got to do with marriage?
What's got into you?
This is a mistake.
You'll be sorry you didn't listen.
Curse them while you're at it.
I'm just sayin'.
Is she your responsibility?
If a man like that asks and you reject...
then there's something wrong with you.
Sure, sure.
She sleeps well as a guest.
The day is half way through.
Any yogurt? Plain?
Mm.
Wake her up for breakfast.
She left.
When?
Her note said she had to wash the cabbage.
She's putting it up today.
Mm-hm.
Wait, so she's with your brother?
Get over there. Scoot.
That again?
Don't you trust him?
Yes, but...
Whip up some lunch. For three.
There.
Whoa. Toast, too?
Some milk?
No. Just coffee.
Come on.
Here we go.
Wow.
It's so even. We don't have a toaster.
The frying pan.
Ah. My mom does it that way.
Mm. It's good.
I have some jam.
Plain is fine. I like the taste of bread.
I see.
Yeah.
Going to the studio?
Mm.
I'll come by at three.
Alone?
Of course.
Did Muom mention me at all?
His show airs tomorrow.
Yeah? Uh-huh.
Hey.
What's up?
Cutting radish.
Come help.
Mom made us lunch.
Is that fruit?
It helps the fermentation.
Mom's in Daegu today.
The alumni association is spread all over.
Daegu this month.
It's just 20 head of cabbage.
Yaya's coming at three.
She can help.
With what?
She's here for us, not to work.
Hello.
You're early.
Yes.
Going up?
I'll walk.
Listen, do you know the Migang lady's number?
Of course. Shall I send it?
Please.
...and slowly...
Well done.
So good with a work-out.
I don't know the number.
Take it.
Hello?
Is this Mrs. Hwang's phone?
It is. She's exercising at the moment.
And you are?
Tell her it's Jo Nadan.
Jo Nadan.
Hello?
This is Jo Nadan. Hello.
Hello.
Are you busy?
Not especially.
I was wondering if you have some time today?
I'll make some.
I have a lunch.
How about two?
Please.
You know Jenni's? Next to the Itaewon Hotel.
I know it.
My niece runs it. Mention my name.
I will.
See you then.
Yes, ma’am.
Wants to move things along, does he?
No work today?
Later.
I can't get over that Yaya.
This is how she repays us.
You buy her clothes, give her a handout, and what do we get?
A slap in the face.
I have no intention of getting over it.
And those Jangs.
Treating her like their own.
The boys especially.
She's going to get it big time.
But people are fickle.
Mom, on TV they use talismans and such.
A husband stops cheating, someone has a second chance.
I'm just saying, whatever works, you know?
Why did Georgia send for you?
It's your day off.
A movie.
What?
We skipped it. Her brother was there.
He was with his date.
So we decided to talk instead.
I told Yaya to take a trip.
We need to put the brakes on this.
Shall we?
Hello.
The longer it soaks the better.
Leave a little stem.
Right.
Mm. Yum.
What about me?
Sure.
You'll make a great husband.
If ever.
Give it time.
Some marry early, some late.
It would be way too weird if we all married at the same age.
I suppose.
You have any single friends?
Pretty ones are mean,
and the nice ones are not well off.
Blind dates are excruciating anyway.
I guess there's no rush.
I lack for nothing as it is.
True. You have Mom.
What wife can compare to that?
There are mother and there are mothers.
Some don't even bother with the ironing so the dad does it.
No kidding?
It can happen, when they both work.
They don't even work.
She hates to work.
Pssh.
How did Yaya sound?
Fine.
Maybe she'll bring Junso.
I miss him.
Not alone, with diapers and all.
They have a driver.
He can drive them.
Control yourself for Jia's sake.
Nasty piece of work.
She even stands up rude.
She must have something to act like this.
How did you get here?
A car.
Yes, a car. I meant did you drive.
The driver dropped me off.
Watching your health, are you?
The special.
For two?
Yes.
Water?
It's cold. Some warm sake?
'Sake.' You've never had it?
No.
The things she doesn't know.
They never took her out for Japanese?
Two sakes.
Ma'am.
If she doesn't drink, then I'll know.
Japanese liquor.
I'm fine.
It's perfect with sashimi.
I'll pass.
Listen.
Don't hang up first on your elders.
As you know.
Ah, I dropped the phone.
Little liar, doesn't blink an eye.
Oh?
Has my son called?
Yes.
What's the rush? Listen to your elders.
Again with the eyes. We talked about that!
Rude little...
You were born in the summer?
Yes.
What's your birthday?
Why do you ask?
For reference.
August 9th.
Solar or lunar?
Solar.
The hour?
No idea.
Tell me, has my son misbehaved?
Let's say he feels he has no choice but to marry you.
That's all I can figure.
As if he feels he has to or else.
How do you mean?
Are you so naive that you don't know?
Yes.
You baiting me?
Don't you dare.
Hello?
Have you eaten?
I'm trying to now.
I only had time for coffee and cake.
So I thought of you.
I'm having Japanese with Mother.
My mom?
Yes.
Where?
Han Sushi.
Put her on.
For you.
Hang up.
It's impossible to treat you well.
You're ignorant and rude to your elders.
I suppose I am.
I had no parents.
Are you proud of that?
How could I be?
You'll never marry my son, not in this life.
Not ever.
Yes.
I'm close. Give me 10 minutes.
Okay.
He'll be here in 10 minutes.
