I forgot to call you.
Yes hold on.
She got a date with the heart surgeon.
Why didn't you even ask me?! Cancel it!
I will call you back, we have a guest.
I'll call you.
- Why is she moving so fast? - You're driving me crazy.
I knew something like this was up.
You're not getting married, can she see other men?
That is her choice, but I wouldn't be happy about it.
Don't come out.
Sorry my mom is like that.
- I thought she's like you. - No I'm cool.
What's his name?
- The heat surgeon. - I don't know.
I want to know about him.
- Why? - Just because.
Are you jealous?
What if you really let a good guy pass by.
If he was girls wouldn't leave him alone.
- And me? - You're a player.
- Bye. - Thank you.
Bye.
You like him more right?
It's a new car!
Hey!
I don't like that.
Stop.
I'm airing out the smell of fish.
It's not bad, leave it alone.
- The kids don't like it. - Are the kids the king?
No you are father.
- You're here? - Yes.
Did you have dinner?
Where's Sae-rom?
She has a stomach ache.
She ate something wrong?
- Yea. - She's still not better?
I thought she was ok but...
- She must be having a hard time. - What happened?
- She keeps throwing up. - Just make her starve.
- Ok. - What tea would you like?
- I'm okay. - Good night grandpa.
You're sleeping already?
- I'm going upstairs. - Ok.
I don't want any.
Are you dieting?
- Drink this. - I'm fine.
Go upstairs.
I don't want to see you, go upstairs!
Whats with him?
- Did you two fight? - Go upstairs and feed her.
Lets go upstairs.
I hope she is okay.
Give her that thing I use in the winter.
We have that too.
- I couldn't think of that. - Her stomach might be cold.
- Try it. - Lets go inside.
You want to go in?
- I'm here father. - Okay.
Come in.
No I'm leaving.
What's with him?
Lets talk.
What is it?
Hwi-myung is mad at me.
What is it?
Why is my life this way?
I really am not a bad guy.
I know I didn't study much,
but I didn't need to work at dad's restaurant.
I gave up my dreams for dad.
I worked hard at that restaurant.
I helped to achieve his wealth today.
Not you guys, but me.
We all know that.
Why are you saying that?
But Ive never complained right?
No you haven't.
Why?
I always try my best to treat you guys well.
I try my best not to complain to you two.
I thought I was doing a good job.
We don't even have children!
I don't know what you're trying to say.
Stop crying and tell me what's wrong?
- Did he say something? - No that's not it.
Then?
Spit it out!
Sae-rom keeps throwing up.
- They suggested we're pregnant. - You are?
- Don't say that? - What do you mean?
We hoped for a child for so many years.
Look how old she is.
Sae-rom thinks they're pushing her sensitive spot and I said that wasn't it.
Both of them,
are hitting our sensitive spots.
So I was upset and said something and he came to my store threatening me.
I said sorry and bought him meat,
he got mad and told me not to see him again.
What did you say?
- Not to get in our business. - So he came and threatened you?
Yea.
I don't think that he would do that just because of what you said.
Why are you being so sensitive?
You two are still fighting?
I am really upset.
I know I'm not as educated as you.
And Hwi-myung also looks down on us because of that.
- Don't say that. - You don't know,
Yoo-jung is also lecturing my wife about rules and etiquette.
What did I do that was so wrong?
Be quiet, stop.
It's not big deal!
He's your older brother.
I don't think you're telling the whole story.
You must have done something to upset him.
He wouldn't do that out of boredom.
See no one's on my side.
Stop crying, look how old you are!
- How many squids do you need? - Just one is fine.
- Anything else? - No.
You can use this.
That much?
You use those?
Her friend works there so she gets a discount.
That is still money.
You can just use lotion.
I can't see a difference.
You're just a consumer.
Try it it does work.
Does your aunt and my skin look any different?
She has better skin.
That is just age.
You have nice skin too.
- It will be better if you care for it. - Watch when you get old,
- I used to have porcelain skin. - Okay.
We'll be late, we're signing up for the gym.
Dad do you want to go?
No you two go.
- If you remember anything else call. - Alright.
- We're leaving. - Okay.
Yes its me.
I'm fine.
Hold on a minute.
Yea,
I don't want to see him for a few days.
How can you just listen to his story?
Do you think I would go to his work just for no reason?
What is he trying to do?
He treats you differently than he treats me.
He looks at me and yells.
I can't tell if I'm older or if he is.
He treated me like a beggar.
He hurt my pride last time with the $500.
Yea lets say it was my misunderstanding.
But today it was so clear.
What did he say?
You can just get over that.
Are you drunk how can I get over that?
He yelled at me, that is not humor!
You wore a blanket and came like a beggar.
Fine okay the both of you did no wrong.
How can you say that you don't want to see him?
That is too harsh.
That punk said that?
Bye.
Hey, hey!
- Be patient. - That little jerk!
Just be patient!
I heard you call, I know what's going on.
I understand you, lets understand them.
That little punk.
He said that I was immature.
- He made me do that. - What if he tells father?
He's the youngest, lets be patient.
Fine.
I was always stuck in the middle growing up.
- Lets have a beer. - Okay.
Forget it, you're alright.
Here you go some water.
I think that I'm sick.
Stop saying that.
- You're here? - What did you eat?
She had bean sprout soup and kimchi.
I don't know what's wrong.
Don't worry.
Nothing bad will happen to us.
- It will be okay. - Stop pushing my hair.
No it's okay.
Do you love me?
How can you ask me that? Do I not love you enough?
I was just asking.
- Hey. - Hwi-jae.
Hwi-myung needed to make my wife's doctor appointment, what if he doesn't?
What do you mean?
When he gets mad, he really gets mad.
Look into it.
- If not I'll look elsewhere. - What do you mean by that.
What if Hwi-myung really decides not to help you?
Yes don't worry.
Sorry, I heard that you tried to start a fight with him.
He said that? What a lie.
We yelled but,
it was nothing like that.
Hes so immature, I'll look into another doctor.
Does he think that we can't find another doctor without him?
I really shouldn't have asked.
Both of you are absurd!
When will they grow up?
- Good night. - Okay.
I'm home.
- Dinner? - I ate.
- Sleep. - Okay.
Did you sleep well?
Good morning.
- You should slow down. - I'm fine.
- No need to rush. - I said that I was fine.
I need to exercise.
Yes.
- He's still not down? - No he's not.
- He's really upset. - No one's scared.
Yes Joong-gi?
I need to ask you a favor.
What is it?
- Well.. - What is it?
I need to do something really important.
Can I borrow $1,000?
That's ok.
- What will you use it for? - Don't ask me that.
I will repay you $100 a month.
- And this is a secret. - Okay.
- You better pay me back. - I will, thank you.
Don't forget and deposit it today, ok?
Ok I will send it.
You're the best.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Do you want coffee? - I'm thinking of changing my creamer.
I see.
- Good morning. - Do you want milk?
- Give it to him. - Okay.
Did something happen?
- What do you mean? - Her.
- I can't tell her. - She woke up early.
She needs to work.
She used to sleep until noon before.
I can't sleep for that long.
She said it's no problem.
- Father wants laver. - He wants it?
Yes he said to ask.
He wants a lot of things.
What is that?
If you make soup it's really good.
It's son in law soup.
It's so hot that when you don't like a son in law you feed it to him.
- I should be careful. - Your father freaked out once.
He ate it while it was hot.
Yes.
We saw him throw a sweet potato yesterday.
What do you think of me?
I texted him already.
Yes wait a minute, did he say something?
- He thinks I won't? - No that's not it.
We are forgetful so I just called to make sure.
Yes.
He didn't say anything.
No it was all me.
Yea. yea. bye.
Hwi-myung didn't forget.
He already texted the doctor and was suspicious you asked.
Why?
I'm borrowing it so don't ask me.
- When will you pay me back? - $50 a month.
- For 20 months. - Do I need a contract?
- If you want. - Okay.
Don't forget and send it to me today.
- Are you dating? - No.
You over used your money.
Yes...
- Don't over spend anymore. - Yes I'm trying not too.
She will be ok so don't worry.
I hope nothing is wrong.
So what if she's sick?
The medicine these days are so good that everyone lives.
Yes.
- Honey I want coffee. - No you can't have any.
If we need to go to the hospital you need to go on an empty stomach.
- Wait a little bit more. - I have no strength.
You didn't eat anything.
- Mom? - What?
- What's wrong with me? - How would I know?
You're going to the hospital.
Can't you be nicer to me?
You already have a nice husband why do you need me?
- It's because she's upset. - Yea I know.
Yes Joong-gi?
Some say eating once a day is better.
I think 3 times is right.
It's not good to live on an empty stomach.
What we eat gives us strength.
We only have one body on this earth.
That is why,
I've always ate my meals.
You were a picky eater since you were young.
So-young.
Yes?
- Your grandpa is talking about you. - Yes grandpa.
Eating with a thankful heart will bring you luck.
You never eat well.
- Okay. - When will you leave today?
- Around 9. - What about you Joong-gi?
By 3 oclock.
Go out with So-young.
Give him a ride when you leave.
- Until it's warmer. - Okay.
- Lets leave at 9. - Forget about it.
What kind of attitude is that?
I'm saying I will go myself.
What's your problem?
It's nothing.
It's because I didn't let that girl live in my apartment.
You fool.
- If you're done leave. - Okay.
- I'm leaving. - Alright.
Why kind of call is it that he has to leave?
Here.
You have an appointment at 10 o'clock.
Grandma let me talk to you.
I really need it can you give me some money?
How much?
Hello.
Good morning.
- You brought coffee? - I did too.
I brought a lot.
Give one to Dr. Kim.
You didn't call or text me.
- You didn't either. - I was with my mom.
I needed to listen to all her stories about my aunts, and her friends.
And she made me cancel my plans.
- I thought so. - We slept at 3am.
- You're like friends. - My mom raised me that way.
And sometimes she gets upset.
If that happens you need to take my mom's side.
If you upset her, she will hold a grudge.
- There's ice be careful. - My mom wants to buy lunch.
- She wants to see you again. - She starred at me all night.
- She asked if you were shy? - What?
- She said you couldn't talk. - What do you mean?
That I must have had a hard time luring you to my bed.
- Your mom said that?! - We talk about that stuff.
My mom was impressed.
She's thankful that you kept me company.
How can you tell her that?
We're friends.
I told her everything about us.
- She still wants you to go on that date? - Yea he might be better.
My mom doesn't buy on her first impression.
She looks through the whole mall.
Is a man a piece of clothing?
If I like it, she trusts me and keeps and eye on it.
That's what she meant.
You two made up?
- Good job. - People said we fought?
Are people here stupid?
- We all know you fought. - Just have some coffee.
Good morning.
- Mom she needs food. - Yoo-jin needs to be fed.
I know.
I'm going to work so don't cause trouble and play well.
She never causes trouble.
It's time for her bath today.
- And don't let her drink bath water. - Your mom did that not me.
Still.
Bye Yoo-jin.
- Keep her out of the sun. - Give me her.
I can feed her.
- Mom did you hear me? - Yes I did.
Mom is leaving.
I need to change her diaper.
She didn't change your diaper?
She just calls herself your mom.
Right Yoo-jin?
Honey can I turn off the boiled rags?
- I will do it. - Okay.
It's all done.
You must be refreshed.
Joong-gi must be mature now right?
I guess, I hope so.
Why?
He wanted money.
- What money? - I'm not sure.
- He said he needed it. - You gave it to him?
$500.
I was just worried that he would run away again.
He wanted to keep it a secret.
Did you give Joong-gi money?
- What money? - He got $500 from mother.
Wait a second.
Is he going to run away again?
Did you loan Joong-gi money?
No, what do you mean?
He wouldn't run away look how old he is.
- You didn't turn it off? - I forgot.
It's me.
Yea.
I gave him $1,000.
- He needed to use it. - How can you give it to him?!
You know that he asks for money when he wants to run away.
- How can you do that? - He ran away.
No...
I forgot it was so long ago.
My nephew wanted money, how can I not give it to him?
He wrote a letter.
It's not final, you and mom gave him money.
She gave him $500.
No he didn't ask Hwo-myung.
Bye.
Hey are you at the hospital?
Okay.
He isn't answering.
Where are you going?
It's not that.
He's not running away buy giving her a room.
Who?
That girl who's house burned in the fire.
- Why would he do that? - He is worried about her.
What... what?!
He can't even plan his own future.
- Give me the phone. - I didn't bring it.
Where are you going?
Listen to me.
Don't be alarmed.
He wanted to marry her.
I think that he wants to get her a place first.
- He told you that? - Yes.
- She's in high school. - She will graduate soon.
- How can kids get married?! - Joong-gi's a kid too.
When they date, the years will go by.
She's 7 years younger, that is fine for a man.
- You told him that 7 years is ok? - No I didn't say that.
- You told him to wait?! - No I said he can never marry her!
I told him that if you knew you would faint and not to do it!
He's dumb but not I.
Do you think I want a 18 year old daughter in law?
It was her, it was her?!
It's burning.
- I told you it was burnt! - Is this important right now?!
What did something good happen?
- No. - Why do you keep smiling?
I'll tell you later.
After we eat, I'll tell you.
I can't wait that long.
What is it?
Tell me.
You like the villa near the cafe right?
- Yes. - Lets sign the lease.
I made $4,000 and you pay the $1,000.
- It's an empty room you can use it. - No.
- Why? - When will I pay it back?
I can't handle paying that, it might take be 5 years.
And I can run away and not pay you.
Why are you trusting me with that much money?
You don't need to pay me back.
Lets get married, Soo-mi.
Your dream is having a family and being happy.
I will make your dream come true.
- Joong-gi. - My family isn't rich.
- But they will get us a small apartment. - Are you proposing to me?
Yea.
I'm proposing to you.
We haven't even been dating and you want to get married?
- I thought we were. - We were?
You weren't?
- Was I? - What?
Hold on.
Yes dad.
How did you know?
It doesn't matter what will you use that money for?
Are you running away again?
No that's not it.
I told you it's not.
- Then.. - Tell him to come home.
Your mom wants to talk to you.
I have work at 3.
She needs to talk, call in sick at the cafe.
I'm not running away.
I told her about Soo-mi.
She is upset, she wants to talk to you.
She will kill me.
- I'm here. - You're what!!!
No...
You need to come home now.
You need to come...
Come right now!
Mom is very mad, hurry and come.
What?
I need to go home, go and sign that lease.
- No. - Just do it.
I like you but I don't know if I love you.
And even if I do, I never want to burden you like this!
- Soo-mi. - You're insane.
Even if we're dating, how can you ask me to move in and get married?
- Why not? - When will we get married?
- Soon. - When?
Leave it to me.
- Did you parents approve? - I can convince them.
I'm by myself and I'm just a part time worker, they won't approve!
- They're not stupid. - My family doesn't mind that!
I don't love you.
I need to marry someone like me.
I won't even wish for a good boy like you.
Because,
- I know my place. - Soo-mi.
Why did you make me sad!
Listen to me.
- Why do you care? - I said listen to me!
- Your seat belt. - Ok.
They said you were ok and next week,
we will get you checked head to toe.
Nothing will be wrong, just relax and try not to worry.
Should we go to the beach for a 3 day trip?
- Can we go to the pharmacy? - What do you want to buy?
Just some medicine for ingestion.
- Ok. - Is he really a specialist?
That doctor said weird things...
What?
- Nothing? - Did he offend you?
- Nothing like that. - What did he say?
He asked when my last OBGYN visit was.
If I'm pregnant.
- How can a doctor say that? - I know.
Joong-gi.
Yes grandma.
I told your mom I gave you $500.
It was you.
I was nervous you would run away.
Of course not.
- Why are you here? - I needed to do something.
I'm here.
Go see your mom.
Will I die?
No parent kills their kid.
You have me.
Be a man, like a man be brave.
Come here.
Honey.
He's here.
Go on in.
Come back here!!!
What's wrong?
Your father is the only one who holds a bat and yells.
What's going on?
- I'm so upset I want to die. - No one dies from that.
Everyone lives with their problems.
Just live with it.
- You said it would be ok. - I didn't know she would do that.
It's cold, I forgot my shoes.
It's so cold.
Come back later.
- Lets have lunch. - I have plans.
- Really who? - Who do you care?
- Should I call Dr. Kim? - No.
I'll just eat at my office.

- Come with us? - I'm leaving.
You're eating with Sung-gi?
Yes for lunch.
You're pretty for a judge.
- How is a judge suppose to look? - Don't take it to seriously.
You're pretty for a doctor.
I'm not pretty.
Same for the people in law.
We're natural beauties.
Mom I'm going, we're leaving now.
- They're here. - Hurry and come in.
Congratulations.
Don't get up.
You're the adult.
- Why are you getting up? - I'm old.
I'm so confused now.
- I'm confused too. - I mistake my husband sometimes.
Don't make him nervous.
You're the worst of us.
- Yes she is. - Right?
