[Episode 114]
Sit down, please.
It's okay.
I'm here to give you this.
What is it?
It's a toy.
Give it to Baek Ya's nephew.
My friend has a toy company and he sent me his first-made toy for export.
Nephew?
I think his name is Junso.
I'll get going now.
But you didn't eat anything and came here...
It's too late to eat.
Still...
When is Baek Ya returning?
She's coming back on Wednesday.
Hold on!
Yaya said she had a nephew to you?
You heard that from her directly?
You didn't know?
Did I say something wrong?
I'll be going now.
Goodbye.
You're on a diet?
Muom will be eating vegetables from today.
And I'll be eating meat from today.
We need to change our eating habits to have a daughter.
Isn't that too heavy for breakfast?
It's okay.
You want a daughter that badly, huh?
I know it must be hard taking care of four babies, but don't be frustrated.
Although they're just babies, they know.
Okay.
Mothers should stregthen their kids physically, and fathers mentally.
But parents these days are only concerned about body rather than mind.
That's why society is a mess.
You mean, building character?
Yes.
Shall we educate our kids on Confucian teachings?
If you want to, sure.
Why don't you ask Hwaom to meet that Korean American girl while he's there?
I already asked him that, but he doesn't listen.
Then have the girl contact him.
Shall I do that?
Yes.
Have some.
G.T.L.
What does that mean?
Good job.
Thank you.
I love you.
Thanks so much for everything.
I love you.
Did you get some sleep?
Not at all. I just took care of business and came back.
How about your birthday?
What about my birthday?
How did you spend your birthday?
I took a walk around Yangjaecheon.
All by yourself?
Of course, by myself!
Did you get to see many handsome British guys there?
Italians guys are better looking.
Can you massage my head? I have a slight headache.
That feels good.
I feel much better.
I'm so sick of flying.
Can you do it harder?
Maybe I should tell Jia not to do the mini-series. She might get sick.
She's only done two dramas so far.
People will think she's arrogant for turning down a drama.
Is she having fun?
I think she's born with the talent.
I never thought she would become an actress.
You have laundry?
Yes.
Did you eat?
I ate on the plane. I'm not hungry.
I'm going out soon, too.
You're having so much fun.
I missed Junso so much.
Already?
Yes.
You were only in Zurich?
And Bazel.
It must've been fun.
You were in beautiful Switzerland, enjoying all the famous art pieces.
Without spending a dime of my own money.
I know.
How many people did you go with?
Four people.
They were all satisfied with the trip, even though it was the first time for me.
There were so many pieces at Wien Kunst Haus.
Pieces by Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne, Picasso, Munch...
And you know Man Ray, right?
The photographer?
Yes.
There were pieces by Man Ray and Robert Frank.
I'm sure you can travel with Junso when he's 6 or so.
I'm saving lots of money so let's go to Switzerland together.
A day like that will come, right?
Of course.
I have no reason to save money if not for you and Junso.
We'll use these well.
You didn't have to get something from such a short trip.
Well, I wanted to.
Teacher will really like it.
Are you still calling him 'Teacher?'
I call him by his name when we're alone but I'm used to calling him 'Teacher.'
Hyogyong.
Don't you think Sonjung should be tested?
An impotence test...
No.
You never know.
You had no problems having Junso, but you're still not pregnant.
It can be delayed even if everything is normal.
Isn't his mother saying anything about it?
No. She doesn't pressure me.
You shouldn't do all the housework by yourself.
Hire a helper, even if it's only for two or three times a week.
You might get sick.
It's only a family of three.
It's a family of four including Junso. Junso has the most laundry.
This is a big house. You can't clean this whole house by yourself.
We do it all together.
Mother does lots of cleaning, so there's hardly any dust.
When is Hwaom coming back?
The day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow?
Yes.
He's always sending us gifts...
You might think I'm being greedy for saying this...
But you know what I'm trying to say, right?
I'm happy with the way we are now.
But dating is different from getting married.
That's what Sonji said, too.
She said she couldn't explain the joy with words.
Exactly.
I wish you'd just go along with what Hwaom is asking, like I did.
For my own happiness?
But I'm scared of my own destiny.
What if something bad happens to Hwaom because of my greed?
There's an end to everything. Even with fate...
President Moon was being so annoying. She kept looking for Korean restaurants.
She says she has to have Korean rice to feel good.
Isn't that true though?
Having the right amount of beef is good for your stomach. It digests well, too.
Why aren't you sleeping? I thought you were tired.
Here you go.
Writer Jung asked me to give this to you.
What is it?
It's a toy.
Do you have a nephew?
He said you had a nephew.
Is that true?
Yeah.
I actually had an older brother.
And?
Why didn't you tell us before?
You don't talk to each other?
Last fall, he died.
And our nephew was born after that.
You should've told us.
Nadan knew.
He met my sister-in-law, too.
She remarried Sonjung.
Are you talking about Oh Dallan's daughter-in-law?
Yes.
Sonji's sister-in-law?
Goodness.
Then their family must already know.
Yes.
I didn't tell you at first because I was still in mourning.
And Sonji's family didn't say anything since it involved me.
It was nothing pleasant to talk about.
How did Writer Jung know, then?
Junso stayed at Hwaom's house for a while.
It must've been especially hard for you.
I mean, after losing your brother, you lost Nadan, too...
So everything worked out for your sister-in-law, I guess.
She's such a nice person.
I feel so bad.
She went through so much at a young age. Even with Nadan...
I know.
I understand why she wanted to be a part of our family now.
What do you think about us raising Yaya's nephew?
She does so much for us and we should do the same.
Yaya is always so good to me and you.
Isn't it better to be raised by his loving aunt than with burden at Dallan's house?
We can take him in as our own grandson.
Jia loves her work, and who knows when she'll get married?
Don't you agree with me?
But Sonjung likes him.
Well, Sonjung might like him, but his mother opposed the marriage so much.
I'm sure she took Junso in because she had no choice.
We can do our good deed by raising him.
But even if we bring him, there won't be anyone to take care of him.
Hiring a nanny won't make Junso's life any better.
We can hire a nice nanny to take care of him, and I think I can retire by next year.
I think Yaya can take over the gallery.
Is she capable of doing that?
If I help her a little bit, yes.
You do what you want.
But I bet Junso's mom won't give him up so easily.
It'll be different if she gets pregnant again.
It'll be hard to raise two kids since the youngest is always the cutest.
What are you reading?
Is it a storybook?
It's a fairytale book.
I just changed their diapers.
Okay.
Are they sleeping well?
I don't get sick of looking at them. It's not just one baby, but four.
Is it an interesting story?
This story is pretty touching.
My grandma told me a few fairytales when I was little.
Have you heard of the Centipede Bride story?
Yes.
He put a needle on his wife's clothes then she turned into a centipede...
No, this one is different.
Tell us.
As practice! You have to tell the boys stories later.
Try it.
Once upon a time, there was a boy with younger siblings from a poor family.
He wanted to kill himself because life was hard, but was helped by a beautiful lady.
They were living a happy life together
and one day he went to the village to see how the family was doing.
And the family was living in a big house and had enough food.
-That lady helped them, right? -Yes.
So he was coming back up to the mountain to his wife
and an old man appeared before him saying he was sent by his dead father.
The old man said his wife is a thousand-year-old centipede
and that she was trying to kill him to become a dragon.
The old man told him to spit out the rice she served him then she'd die right away.
He didn't enter his main gate, but looked into the room over the wall
and he really saw a thousand-year-old centipede moving around in the room.
He pretended like he didn't know anything and he was served dinner.
And she was giving him a strange look.
How scary is that?
So he took spoonful of rice and...
He spit it out?
No. He just swallowed it.
Then, what happened?
He finished his bowl of rice.
Then, she cried and asked, 'Why did you finish the whole bowl?'
She already knew that he knew about her.
But she couldn't say anything.
The old man he met was actually a thousand-year-old serpent.
A serpent?
Yes.
Only one of them was able to become a dragon from that mountain.
So the serpent was trying to get her killed.
What happened next?
She bowed and said everything would be okay and not to worry.
Then the house disappeared with a loud noise
and the centipede turned into a dragon and went up to heaven.
The man went back down to the village, and the family was still living well.
Everything worked out well with his life and he lived happily ever after.
That was interesting.
The message is that a centipede was able to turn into a dragon
because she had earned his heart and trust.
And the guy didn't betray her, despite the circumstances.
Even the the situation had ulterior motives,
he was happy thanks to her, so he just accepted the situation.
He thought of it as his fate, emptied his heart, and ended up with a better life.
We all have animal-like instincts in us.
We also have god-like instincts, too.
Once we earn the love and trust of another person,
the animal-like side can turns sacred.
It's important to earn a person's trust.
You earned my trust, right?
Of course. That's why I'm so nice like this.
Muom surely found a great wife.
I think she'll teach her kids well, too.
I know. You can tell a lot by just looking how she is now.
I hope we find a nice daughter-in-law like her for Hwaom.
That's my wish, too.
I'm going to bring him, no matter what.
Knock, knock.
What's today's menu?
It's kimchi rice.
I love kimchi rice.
Do you have kimchi rice often at home?
No. My wife doesn't know how to make it.
I had it once at a friend's house.
My mom used to make it for me often, especially in winter.
This is all?
I have more.
Koreans make so many dishes with kimchi.
It's hot, it's hot.
Wait until it cools down a little bit.
I heard that Junso is Yaya's nephew.
Yes.
I didn't say anything because it wasn't brought up from the beginning.
Yaya was having such a hard time when her brother died.
I can imagine. It's nothing good to talk about.
You still opposed the marriage?
I understand Yaya, but he's my only son.
My wife suggested bringing Junso to my house.
Really?
That's unexpected.
What do you think?
My thoughts aren't important.
My son and Hyogyong will never do that.
They're crazy about Junso.
It's not like they're sending him to a stranger's house.
His aunt will be taking care of him.
Even if that were true, my son and his wife will never agree to it.
Tell me how you really feel.
Do you like Junso?
Well, I do feel sad looking at him. It doesn't matter whether I like him or not.
It's so good.
I think I made a mistake bringing that up.
No. It wasn't a secret.
I just didn't bring it up since I never told them in the beginning...
Nadan knew about it.
You gave me an expensive toy, so the meal is on me.
But I got it for free.
Well, whoever buys, let's go and eat.
I have something to ask you.
Me, too.
We'll have two lettuce-wrapped rice meals.
Is the soybean paste here good?
It's not bad.
You like lettuce-wrapped rice, right?
How did you know?
You just look like you would.
Do I look like a vegetarian?
You don't exactly come off as the meat-loving type.
I don't want to look like a vegetarian.
You just look pure.
Being pure isn't a compliment to a guy. I'm not going to become a monk...
Ms. Yaya...
Hwaom must've said something if he was here.
I like calling you Ms. Yaya better than Ms. Baek Ya.
Just call me that then.
I'm sure you'd want to call me Yaya without the 'Miss.'
No.
Do you think you know yourself well?
Yes, I do.
Do you love yourself?
Love isn't a simple thing to define.
What about you?
I think I'll love myself when I turn 40.
Why not now?
You're working hard and don't do anything wrong.
You never know. I might be doing something bad in the background.
Do you feel like you're lacking in something?
Maybe you're being too greedy.
I think I lack about 2%.
Don't you think so?
Not at all.
What did you think of the planning report?
I think you'll write it well since it's an area that you're familiar with.
Does it sound interesting?
Yes it does.
It's at a different level compared to other law dramas, just looking at the synopsis.
Hire me as your official assistant writer this time.
That was my favor to ask you.
I can be shy around girls, even though I'm not shy around guys.
I think you're shy around guys, too.
Do you feel comfortable around me, too?
Because you're Hwaom's best friend, yes.
That limits me from doing anything else.
It's not easy to find someone you feel comfortable with.
Doesn't your mother-in-law pay you wages?
It seems like you're selling a lot of art pieces, too.
She does.
Then, what do you do with all that money? Do you have any plans?
I like money.
I do, too.
Everyone likes money if you're not a dog.
What are you going to use it for? You don't seem to buy expensive things.
I have to support Junso later.
I have some money Nadan left me
and Hyogyong and Songjung are there, too.
But I want to be solely responsible for Junso.
That's the least I can do for my brother.
and that's what I want to do.
How much will you pay me per page?
I receive bonus incentives, so I'll give you my entire writing fee.
That makes no sense. I'm not a thief.
I should earn money without going against my conscience.
Thanks for today, again.
I feel good since you always enjoy my food.
That's because it was delicious.
Where? I'll scratch your back.
Goodness.
No!
It's okay, Janghun.
It's really okay.
You have time for coffee, right?
Sure.
She still acts like a lady even though she's older.
Here's some plum tea.
I'll pay with this.
Okay.
You're really paying?
It's not even an expensive meal.
Do you miss Hwaom?
Yes.
Do you want to go see him with me? As a surprise to him?
Now? We should've done that earlier.
Hello!
-Hello. -Hey.
You're all here.
When is Producer Jang coming back?
Why are you asking me?
He doesn't respond to my texts.
Tell me if you know.
It's a secret. He didn't want to tell anyone.
Even to me?
Ask him yourself.
Your work looks so much better after you got married.
It's because I can concentrate better.
I think it can even be possible this October, not next year.
The exhibition?
Yeah.
If nothing happens and if I can maintain my condition, sure.
I was so surprised the other day.
That my daughter-in-law had a brother...
Yes.
I didn't even imagine that...
Were you upset?
I understood after hearing what happened.
Junso...
Yes.
So he's Yaya's nephew right?
I curious, and I want to meet him.
You can come by even today.
Isn't it too rude of me to just show up?
No way.
You should come to our house for dinner.
Now that I think about it, you've never been to our house.
You're right.
Junso, you're not sleepy?
You're sleepy?
Hello?
I'm bringing a guest over today.
She's someone you know, so don't worry.
Hello?
The call cannot be connected...
He must be out of battery.
Let's go.
It's rush hour soon, right?
Yes.
We might not have nice dishes prepared because I invited you so suddenly.
I'm not going there to eat.
I'll only gain more weight at this age.
These days, it's good manners not to offer too much food.
I eat a lot, but I don't gain weight.
You're just blessed like that!
You're the same, right?
No way.
I gain 1kg easily. Maybe it's just my age.
I always go up or down by 1kg.
Come in. Wear the slippers.
Oh, hello.
Long time no see. I didn't even get to attend your wedding.
Thank you.
Sit down.
How about your Mother?
She's has a night cooking class today.
She must be busy.
It's all thanks to you. You provided her with the location.
My husband is happy to have delicious meals once in a while thanks to her.
Is Junso sleeping?
No.
Junso!
This is how we live.
Everything looks nice and luxurious.
Junso!
It's daddy!
Say hello.
Ask 'how are you?'
He's handsome.
Come to grandma.
What do you mean, grandma?
You're more like an aunt.
Let me get dinner prepared.
Go wash your hands.
Okay.
He looks just like Yongjun when he was little.
Junso.
