[Episode 81]
I'm sorry.
Come closer. Out of the snow.
I'm sorry.
Sonjung.
Um...Sonjung.
Yes?
We're making dumplings.
Dumplings?
We just need to make thirty or so for breakfast tomorrow.
Why dumplings?
To welcome Sonji home.
I wish us all long, happy lives together.
We can't control how long we live.
Exactly.
Nadan's spirit may well be lingering, yearning to return.
He loved Yaya that much.
Cherish the time we have.
It can be gone before we know it.
True.
I'll take some to Hyogyong.
Why?
Why? She took Sonji in.
Oh. I'll make more in the morning.
You came early.
Yaya.
You awake?
Say my name.
What? It's me.
Nadan has to be prepared for the funeral.
You need to be there for that.
You were sleeping, so they couldn't go on with it.
What can you do?
When it rains, all you can do is get wet.
People are meant to come and go.
No one can stop it.
Sonjung?
He's sleeping in.
Rice cake soup? There are no sides.
Dumpling soup?
Sonjung stayed up making them.
Past two.
How is it?
It's good. What about you?
I'll eat too.
Thinking about Yaya breaks my heart.
What will she do?
Live alone, I suppose. With Hyogyong and Junso.
Forever?
She's not meant to be married.
It's not uncommon these days.
She might be lonely, but she'll be relieved.
So I shouldn't marry?
Bite your tongue.
Enough chit-chat. Eat and get to work.
The future chairman's wife can't be late.
It depends on the work.
I just need to be there before the shooting crew.
His mother is the madam, then there's Hwaom's future wife.
The eldest will inherit Daehae.
Muom will head up HBN.
That will make you the HBN chairman's wife.
Is that so?
Hang up your brother's work at the company.
We'll see how he does.
He was up all night making dumplings to feed you.
There's no other brother like that.
She might be scared and shocked that she can't speak.
There are cases of severe trauma leading to muteness.
The hurt is so great that patients close themselves off from the world.
And in a way, expressing their own pain.
How long will it last?
She needs time.
We have to work together to bring her out of it.
Thank you.
She should eat something.
Yes, Doctor.
Porridge. Try a bite.
Yaya.
Want some tangerines?
Do you want to eat tangerines?
They're sweet.
Just two bites, okay?
Yaya.
You want to die, too? To follow him?
Oh no. Better the world we know, no matter how awful.
Life is for the living.
Shouldn't you be doing something?
Yessir.
You have Nadan's service to think of.
You should say your final goodbyes. Are you going to stay like this?
Eat, okay?
I hurt, too.
Eat.
You need to eat to regain strength.
I can't.
They said you have to walk, but with what strength?
Yaya?
Why did you leave her?
Her brother came to visit again.
She woke up so he's trying to feed her.
She's awake?
Yes.
Her brother is so good to her.
Pretty, huh?
Want to smell?
You know Sonji was here?
She's marrying Muom.
You're here?
Hey.
Restroom?
Towel?
I see.
Yaya is awake.
She ate a little, and she went to clean up.
Hwaom is still there?
He went to work.
Dumplings.
You made them?
Yes, with my mom.
Is she going to the hospital again?
I just dropped her off.
Yaya has to be up for the service.
Janghun, it's rice punch. Drink it.
Yaya is ready.
For the service?
Yes.
There. It's all done.
His eyes wouldn't shut.
You can try... to close his eyes.
Nadan.
Nadan...
Close your eyes...
Not because he's my son,
But he made me proud.
I should have treated you better.
You're with our mother now. Be happy.
Nadan...poor boy...
You know how I feel.
It hurts so much.
Was this what fate held in store for us?
You made your vows at the wedding.
You promised.
To spend our lives together.
Can you leave me?
Should I follow you?
I wish I could.
I respect you...
and I love you...
I really love you now.
Goodbye.
Until we meet again.
Close your eyes or I'll follow you.
I don't have anything to live for anymore.
Our time was short, but I'm thankful...
I was happy.
Thanks.
Korea has so many different tastes.
Mm. Good.
This is fun.
Rock... Scissors.
Argh.
Call anytime.
I'll keep it on.
Hey.
I love you.
I can't believe it.
Imagine he became my son-in-law.
Just the thought makes me...
'Our lives are but dew on a blade of grass.' It's so true.
So they say. And they're right.
Poor Baek Ya.
I know.
Not quite a widow. Not quite unmarried.
Still, she wore and veil, and had a wedding.
So I wonder...
I'd like to buy her a meal.
Now is hardly the time.
She's been through a lot.
She'll shake this off.
I doubt I could.
Life is for the living.
Better grief than the cares of the world.
So they say.
Who?
I don't know. Just heard.
Such a shame, that youth.
He had some body on him.
Better than any statue in Italy.
How may I help?
Just leave it. She'll do it.
Ma’am.
When will she be discharged?
No idea.
Taken so young.
Just like your mother.
<No Visitors. For Patient's stability.>
This is us.
Sit.
Very nice.
Sit, sit.
Your room?
Here.
What's that?
Puer tea.
The real thing.
Cake would have been fine.
She loves it.
From my mother.
Tell her thank you.
I will.
Hungry?
Yes. I only ate a little for lunch.
No 'mother hen for the son-in-law' yet.
Right.
Hello.
Has she eaten today?
No.
I'll call you later.
Right.
Yaya still won't see anyone?
So it seems.
I'm afraid she'll close herself off.
I doubt it. This is temporary.
It's been days.
Seeing her husband killed. Of course she's in shock.
At least she didn't lose it.
She'll get through it.
But I don't understand.
The signs in her dreams were so clear. So why did he die?
I know.
It was a wedding dream. They were meant to be.
Maybe they're not meant to be.
Milk tea please.
Ma’am.
Yaya likes that, too.
Yes.
I couldn't see her again.
I'm worried.
Her luggage at the hotel...
I got it.
It's best if she stays at the studio when she's discharged.
Yes, we've discussed it.
It's probably best for her, comforting.
I'm going to marry her next year.
I know my feelings for her.
I won't put it off again.
Did she agree?
She and Nadan...weren't meant to be.
She can't get hurt anymore.
What will your family say?
It will ruin a good relationship.
I'm ready for that. I'll persuade them.
It will be too hard on her.
Anyhow, just keep that in mind.
The reason I'm telling you this is so you won't worry about her.
She has me.
It's impossible.
I know my family.
They'll accept her in time.
Even if they do, getting there will be the hard part.
I'll be the one carrying the burden.
Trust me in this.
Don't say anything to Yaya yet.
Everything looks and smells so different.
Doesn't it?
So expensive. Puer tea is pricey.
As it should be.
Meeting the in-laws and all.
And you'll break even with cheap undernothings.
How could I know?
I'd have bought better if I had.
So strong, so refined, perfect. So much class from head to toe.
Even if he doesn't make a big deal out of it, he cares for me a lot.
Your grandmother said you had a lucky face.
Even though I don't like my nose, they say it's one that brings luck.
Whatever for?
From the side it's perfect.
But pudgy from the front.
Pudgy?
Don't say that in front of other women.
They'll beat you for bragging.
Wait a minute. Is he going to overdo it? Make Muom drink 'til he's sick?
Text and tell him to go easy.
Just leave him. I should know if he has bad habits.
We're both dudes, but you're good looking.
You more.
I'm getting old.
You hit 34. You lose your looks.
Why?
What else?
Work stress.
Ah. I admire artists.
Why?
You create out of nothing.
Creation is God's province.
Artists impose on that prerogative.
- That makes sense. - Yep.
So long as we don't trespass.
Here.
I didn't say trespass.
I said impose.
It's my turn.
Yes.
It's the hospital.
Yes?
I don't think she wants to live.
She keeps trying to remove her IV.
