Dal Ja's Spring
Episode 14
Does Sae Do know?
No, I didn't tell him.
How can you not tell him? Especially about something like this?
I'm not telling him especially because it's something like this.
I don't want to seem pathetic to a man because of this.
So don't worry about me Dal Ja.
But Seon Joo...
It's my problem, and I can solve it by myself.
Seon Joo, you're here too?
You two were together?
I thought only Dal Ja was here, so I came as fast as I could.
How did you get here so fast? Your house is farther away than mine.
I was in the neighborhood.
Oh, is that so?
But is Soon Ae okay?
She is in surgery.
Surgery?
Where are you right now?
Soon Ae is in surgery right now.
Both mother and baby are having a hard time right now.
Come to the hospital as soon as you hear this message, okay?
It have been saved.
How can he leave the house for two weeks with no contact?
Even if his workplace is restructuring, How can he leave a seven-month pregnant wife,
and not contact her for two weeks? With a mother and a five year-old child, too.
Think how hard it must have been to leave his home. Just think...
It doesn't matter if it was hard. He is a guardian and a husband first.
He is both of those things first, but all men are still human.
How can men have all the responsibility?
That is unreasonable and discriminative. Aren't I right, Seon Joo?
Yes, that must have been a burden.
Sae Do...
I know it much be hard on her, and I feel bad for her.
It would've been better if her husband's work wasn't restructured,
But life doesn't always go the way we want it to.
Yet you're still asking him to do all the work as the guardian of the house and be Superman?
Hey, that's asking too much, and the women asking for it are the selfish ones.
Aren't I right, Seon Joo?
Yes, it's selfish.
See? Seon Joo understands everything.
Seon Joo and I have a connection.
"Will you vow to live through the hardships and the pain during your life?"
"Yes, I promise."
Why else do people make that vow when they get married?
Do they just do it for show?
However difficult things are,
you do it together.
However much suffering you go through,
he's the one who's supposed to hold her hand through it all.
That's why you take a vow and get married.
But... who is he to run away by himself?
That is acting cowardly.
He is turning his back on his wife and marriage. That is betrayal.
He should come back when he is better. Do you think he will never come back?
Then is the woman just supposed to be alone, complaining and waiting for her husband to return?
That is being disrespectful to the wife.
Why are you attacking me?
Did I leave home? Did I betray my wife?
You are defending those kinds of guys right now.
I'm just telling you about the other side of the men.
Why can't I just talk?
Because right now you aren't in the position to say those kinds of words.
I'm not in the position to say those words?
Why would I be?
Aren't you too loud when we are in front of the operating room? Stop.
Tell me, what did I do? Tell me.
Never mind. Let it go.
You always say that when you have nothing to say. Then don't bring it up.
Stop. The surgery is over.
How did it go?
Is she all right?
Welcome!
I'm sorry, but lunch hasn't started yet.
I didn't eat breakfast. Can it be done?
I'm sorry, we start at noon.
Tell him to sit, and ask him what he would like.
Thank you.
Soon Ae.
Soon Ae. Are you okay?
Soon Ae.
They said if we were a little later, you would have been in big trouble.
I told your household, and I kept leaving messages on his cell phone.
I bet he just heard and is on his way.
I was going to name him Chan.
It's all my fault.
Being a mom, I shouldn't have said that, even if I was mad.
If we had known this was going to happen, we would have had the second one a little later.
If I didn't say that, then my baby wouldn't have left this way.
Because I said that, my baby left me.
Because it was so mad and disappointed in me.
What am I suppose to do, Dal Ja?
My baby... I'm so sorry.
Stop crying. The baby is fine.
What?
It's a boy.
They did an emergency C-section, and it's in an incubator right now,
because it's premature.
The dangerous part is over for you and the baby.
Really? My baby is okay?
Are you just saying that to make me feel better? Really?
It's for real. We just checked up on him. Wow, he is a handsome kid.
We just checked up on him.
Wow, he's a handsome kid.
Let me up. I want to see my baby.
No, you can't do too much. The stitches are going to come out.
No, I'm OK. I won't let the stitches come out. Where is he?
I want to see my baby.
Where is he, Dal Ja?
He is handsome.
Of course. Whose son is it?
It's good, right?
Yes, it is good and strong... my baby.
Thank you. I thank you, my baby.
Hang in there, my baby.
Seon Joo, what's wrong?
No, I'm ok. I'm not used to this, so tell Dal Ja that I'm going to leave first.
Wait for me, and we can go together. I'll take you home.
I'm ok.
You were worried about her, so stay a little longer.
Are you sure?
I'm sure. I'm going then.
When would you like your surgery to be?
When is the earliest date?
It's in two days in the afternoon. Would you like that day?
Yes. That day is fine.
Wait! Wait, Seon Joo.
This is not totally your decision.
In my opinion, Sae Do has a right to know.
Tell him first, and then decide... okay?
The moment I tell him, our relationship is going to be over.
If I tell him that I am pregnant,
from then on,
we won't be together because of our feelings for each other,
but we will be tied together because of responsibility for our child.
If you guys have to take responsibility,
then of course you have to take it together.
Our love is too weak for that to happen.
No, our relationship can't even be called love yet.
Everything will be a burden to him.
Seon Joo.
The child will be unhappy.
There's nothing good to wear.
I can't even remember when I bought new clothes.
Child!
Yes?
What are you doing?
Why are all your clothes on the floor?
Did something happen?
No, there is a stain on what I'm wearing. I wanted to change.
Really?
Stop coming here.
You doing this is unlike you.
I'm not going back, even if you keep doing this.
The owner knows how to cook food.
It was good. How much is it?
It's okay. Just go.
If you liked it, then that's all that matters. Just go.
Oh, we already have a customer this early. Who is this?
The customer said that he hadn't had breakfast yet.
Really?
I ate well.
Goodbye.
Did the customer leave?
Already?
Yes, he just left.
Oh... Is that so?
Do you know him?
No. Hurry up and clean the tables, and bring the dishes into the kitchen so I can wash them.
It felt like a big typhoon just passed by.
Mommy!
Oh, my Jin Joo is here!
Did you go to preschool?
Yes!
Child, are you ok?
Mother, why did you come? It must be hard for you.
You didn't have to come.
The father hasn't contacted you yet?
Don't worry about him, Mother.
He's coming home soon, and I'm fine... See?
Right, Jin Joo?
She came back to her old self as a strong woman and started to smile again.
Since this product is made out of glass, there aren't any harmful chemicals. It's very strong.
Also, it is microwavable.
And she acted as though there was nothing wrong.
Shin PD, what's wrong?
Nothing. Why would I have a problem?
And I became utterly exhausted.
My body was totally knocked out, but something was weird.
I was starting to miss him.
You'll blow the entire hospital away.
Why are you outside?
Hey, how did you know I was here?
I'm on an errand.
An hour ago,
There was a call from a Soon Ae, and she said that you were here because of her.
And that you haven't been eating, so we should send someone to make her eat.
Soon Ae... At a time like this....
Is she all right?
Yes, she's a lot better.
You look tired.
Yesterday, you were at work all night, and today you are here at the hospital.
If you keep this up, you might faint.
I know. I'm so tired. I might die.
I wish I could just take a ten minute nap like this.
I wish I could do that, but...
Faint? No way. It's only one night.
I can never quit. You know that.
Are you sure?
Of course.
Nope, I'm not.
Don't force yourself.
What are you going to do?
If you force yourself, you feel pain.
If you feel pain, you get sick, and you don't want to get sick, right?
What are you going to do if I fall in love with you?
Do you want to lean on me?
I'm 33 years old. This the first time I've leaned on a man.
Ahh~ it's comfortable.
I think I could get addicted to this shoulder.
Damn it...
Episode 14: It's okay if you are not Superwoman!
You didn't make this, right?
Your mom made this, of course.
If you are experienced enough to make this,
then you should make a second Dal Ja restaurant near my company. I'll be your manager.
No...
I mean...
You know I'm not talking about promises for our future,
but as a business partner.
Eat up.
Ok.
You keep on looking at me. It's getting to me.
Was there a lot of traffic when you came?
I took the subway.
Oh, the subway is fast. There's no traffic.
Isn't there anything else to say?
Think of something... Think of something...
Have you ever slept with someone?
Why did that come out?
What did you say?
Huh? Nothing.
Why did you ask that so suddenly?
I know. Why did I do that?
Maybe because we are in the maternity ward of the hospital?
Maybe that's why... Because there are a lot of pregnant women that come here.
Just dig your grave, Oh Dal Ja.
Sae Do.
Seon Joo.
Do you have time?
Yeah. Why, did you have something to say?
What is it? Tell me.
No, nothing important.
Did you hear anything from Dal Ja?
What? Hear what? I heard nothing.
Really? That's it.
I have a meeting right now. Is that all?
Yeah. Go ahead.
Okay, I'll go.
What's wrong?
Oh my god! I was surprised! Why did you do that so suddenly?
I am more surprised.
Why are you banging your head against the wall?
Is something wrong?
What is it to you what I do?
There is nothing wrong.
Did you come from the hospital?
Her mother is there, so I came to get my bag and coat.
What's wrong? Do you have something on your mind?
No.
What are you talking about? It's written on your face that something's wrong.
Did Seon Joo tell you something?
No, she didn't.
Oh, she didn't...
Sae Do,
I have something to tell you about Seon Joo.
Don't tell me.
What?
Right now, don't tell me anything.
When I am ready, I will listen.
So don't tell me anything right now, and wait. Please, my friend.
Do you know?
Don't tell me anything, and leave me alone, friend.
You know. It must be hard for you, Sae Do.
But the person who is having the hardest time is Seon Joo.
You know that, right?
The password is the same.
Oh my...
Hello, is this the police?
Yes, there has been a robbery.
A person is dead!
I have some questions.
So what you're saying is, no one broke in,
And nothing was stolen?
Yes.
You haven't been attacked physically?
No, I haven't.
But who called the police?
I'm sorry.
I didn't want to call the police, but I was so surprised.
Well, if there was nothing wrong, then we will leave.
Come on everyone, we can leave.
I'm sorry, honey.
I've never seen your house this messy before,
so I thought someone had broken in.
How did you get in?
The password is the same our... wedding date.
Don't think too much of it.
I was too lazy to change it.
It isn't going well with Dal Ja?
You don't need to know that. Leave now.
I made these myself.
Today is Valentine's Day.
Since you like almonds, I put a lot in them.
What are you doing? Get the phone!
Is everyone out?
Hello? Handa Home Shopping.
Kang Team Manager?
She is out right now because she has a meeting.
When will she be back?
After the meeting she will go to a dinner. I think right after.
Oh really? I understand
What is your name?
Nam Dae Soo. Director of this team.
Can we have a talk?
Soon Ae.
Why did you come? Just go home.
How can I go home when you are here alone?
If you're here, I can't relax because I'll worry about you.
Go home, you went through a lot today.
It's okay.
He is not here yet?
Yeah. He hasn't come yet.
I thought this before, but you are a great person.
What?
You are a wife, mother, daughter-in-law,
And at the company, you are section chief.
And you are my dating guide.
How can you do all of that?
You think I am doing all that by myself?
Every Korean women does that.
When I was young, I didn't know if you lived like that, how hard it is.
I respect you.
Wow, you are grown up now. Why?
It is because you are living with a man now?
Well you know...
Wait! How did you know that?
I heard it from Shin Sae Do.
Oh, that bad Sae Do!
He's going to spread this around the company!
He didn't tell me on purpose. It was an accident, and you know me.
Well, we are living together,
But I'm only lending him an extra room... That's it.
If you are going to do it, then do it for real.
You like him enough to give him a room. There was never a guy like that in your heart.
I know. I am a living proof.
That's true...
If you already gave him that much, then what are you waiting for?
Don't be old-fashioned and timid, or frustratingly evasive.
Can I do that?
Why do you need my permission? You want to love.
Still... if you say he is all right, then I will feel better.
He is okay. You love him. It's okay.
It was never okay.
She is a troublemaker, to describe her in one word.
You could probably fill a book with all her accidents.
Her most recent accident was with Kang Team Manager.
It was harsh and incredible.
Is her relationship with Kang Team Manager bad?
Well you can't say that, but they aren't exactly very close.
Who are her relatives?
Her grandmother, her mother, and she is an only child.
What does her mother do?
She owns a restaurant.
Size?
I went there a few years ago, and I remember it being fairly small.
That's it?
Where is that restaurant?
I don't know if I can tell you that.
We are talking about a person's fate!!
Tell me right now!!
What are you doing? There is a customer.
Welcome. Have a seat.
I guess the male worker went somewhere?
Yes. I sent him on an errand.
What would you like to eat?
I'll have the soybean stew.
Hold on for a few minutes.
Child, I think I will go inside.
I've been sitting too long, and my back is killing me.
You should go inside and lay down.
Eat a lot.
Yes.
Can... we talk for a while?
Dal Ja's house? You are just advertising it.
Wait. Isn't that Tae Bong's father's car?
Hey, isn't that Tae Bong father's car?
Yes, the license plate number is right.
First, move the car where it can't be seen.
I'm sorry, but I have nothing to say.
You didn't miss me?
I never had a day when I didn't think about you. Ever.
Oh, what do to do?
I forgot a long time ago.
What happened?
If you left me like that, then you should be living a good life.
Why are you living like this?
In our second year of marriage,
my husband's business failed, and we had to live in the streets.
He was in state of shock, and he never came out of it.
He left us with my mother-in-law and my only daughter.
I tried my best to make a living, and ten years ago, I started this restaurant.
Yes, I am the result of choosing a diamond ring over love.
When I betrayed you, and left you for a diamond ring...
Yes, that's why I'm living this life.
Are you happy now?
Jung Ae.
Now you heard everything. I never want to see you again.
After what I did to you, I was punished enough.
So stop bothering me.
I missed you!!
I missed you. That's why I keep coming back!
I still have a mother-in-law and a daughter.
Please leave now...
I understand.
I'm sorry I bothered you.
If I tell him that I am pregnant,
from then on,
We won't be together for our own sakes, but for the responsibility for our child.
Our baby will be unhappy.
You came.
You ate the cake?
Cake? Oh my, did I eat it all?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I must have eaten it all because it was so good.
You are too much. You ate all the birthday cake.
Birthday? Whose birthday?
Mine. What is this?
I went to buy my own cake.
You ate it all.
If it was yours, then you should have told me.
But today is your birthday?
I didn't know! What do we do?
What you are you going to do? You ate all my cake.
Tell me what you want. What do you want?
I'll buy it for you tomorrow.
Why wait until tomorrow? Just give me a little kiss.
What?!
Why are you shaking like that?
Why are you nervous? Do I make you that nervous?
Who is nervous? You are funny.
Then give me a kiss. I want a kiss from you.
Okay... Okay... I'll do it!
There.
What is that? That's childish!
Childish?
Of course!
Who gives birthday kiss on the cheek? Am I a child?
Do it for real this time. Don't you know how to kiss?
He is killing my pride.
You really don't know how to do it?
Why wouldn't I know how to do it?
I am just hiding it, because you might be surprised by my skills.
Just please, this time surprise me.
Okay, fine. Close your eyes.
What are you doing?
Wait! I am getting into the mood.
There... That is enough, right?
Why are you laughing?
Nothing.
This little... is he mocking my kiss?
I kind of figured... There is a long way to go.
I guess there was never a guy who gave you a good kiss?
How can you do that at your age?
You can do it good.
Why did you act so sly earlier?
I told you... You might be surprised.
I can do it right when I want to.
Oh... I had these kind of skills?
What do I do? What do I do?
Goodnight.
Did you sleep well?
Yes, have a seat.
Are you going to be late today also?
I might.
You are often late.
We are busy getting ready for the new employees.
Then where do you go to eat?
What kind of person is he?
Who?
You know... The man that came in yesterday.
The man that came the other night... Isn't he the same person?
Yes.
Does he know that you are a widow?
It's not like that.
Don't just say no. It's so suspicious, even my nose can sense it. Tell me quickly.
He's trying to date you. Right?
What nonsense! The day after tomorrow, I will be 60 years old.
Stop saying ridiculous things and eat.
Hi, Seon Joo.
Hi.
Coordinator, I have something to say to Seon Joo.
Yes.
Thanks.
Whatever you decide, I'll respect it. Whatever you want to do, I'll follow. So...
This Saturday, I will have the surgery.
I told Dal Ja that I would think about it until next week, but I won't do that.
You really want to do that?
That way its good for you too. Isn't it?
Don't worry.
I don't want our relationship to suffer because of something like this.
You are very scary.
How... How can you do that?
How can you act so cool?
Are we talking about someone else?
We are talking about the baby that is inside you.
Do you want to take care of it?
You don't have that in mind,
so why are you acting mad, acting like you care?
Why are you making me feel pitiful?
I'm sorry for acting sincere, for acting serious.
Yes, your right. I didn't have that in mind.
Yes, I didn't want to, because that's who I am.
I try to hook up with girls that I like,
and I don't care about the responsibilities, because that's who I am.
But things changed.
Whether or not we wanted it, this happened. And because it happened,
We're supposed to think about what to do next!!
You don't have to think about it.
I'm making it so that you don't have to worry about it.
Are you going to keep on talking this way?
It doesn't matter for you, because you don't care about me.
You are only thinking about yourself, and are pitying yourself.
How do you know so well? Did you come in here and see?
I know at least that you don't what to have this baby.
And you don't love me enough to want this baby.
What?
If you really loved me, then you would have at least asked me this:
Are you ok? Are you really ok?
You should go.
I have to change. I go on in a few minutes.
Dal Ja, you should go home today.
You did so well yesterday and today.
Don't fight with me and go home. I'm going to sleep.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Honey...
I'm sorry for making you go through this alone.
I'm really sorry.
Come closer. Why are you standing there like a stranger?
You didn't shave.
You always do this when I don't nag at you.
It's a boy.
He takes after you. That's why he is handsome and strong.
When he gets older, girls will follow him around, and he'll break some hearts.
Honey, thank you for coming back safely.
Thank you so much.
Honey.
Since the Supermen started hanging up their capes,
there are starting to be more and more Superwomen.
In the form of a superior in the work place.
In a form of a wife.
As a women.
As a mother.
And they have their own superpowers.
so they can keep their small part of the world happy.
Hello?
Where are you?
I just got off work, and I am waiting for the bus. Why?
Are you are coming home right now?
Do I have any other place to go?
Okay. See you later.
What was that for?
Wait for me, Kang Tae Bong!
I will show you my own superpower.
Look in the refrigerator.
I'm back.
Happy Birthday!
But my birthday passed.
Even though it passed, I didn't do anything for you.
Sit down. I have a lot of food for you.
When did you do this?
Don't get too curious, you might get hurt.
Where did you get that?
This?
They were selling it at last year's clearance sale, and I only wore it once before.
Why, do you like it?
I don't like it.
Don't wear it anymore. It doesn't look good on you.
It shows too much cleavage.
Pour it yourself.
You really don't know how to match the mood?
As soon as I got off from work, I went to the hospital, then to the market.
I spent money that I don't have, and I got all this food ready
like a crazy person. And I got all dressed up for you,
and all you have to say is this?
What? You don't like it?
"It doesn't look good on you?"
I'm sorry. Your feelings were hurt.
Forget it.
It was stupid of me to create some kind of special mood with you.
Forget it.
Let go.
I told you. Don't overwork yourself because of me.
What?
I don't care if you are in jeans or sweats. I still like you.
I don't care if you didn't wash your face. I'll still like you.
I don't need all this. I would like it if we just ate ramen.
After you got off work, you went to the hospital, the market,
and came home to get all this food ready.
I thank you for doing this,
But if it means you are overworking yourself, I don't like it at all.
But still, it's your birthday.
I already got my present. What else do I need?
Still, it's the first time we're spending your birthday together.
I wanted it to be special so we can remember it.
It is good enough for me if we are together.
What about you? It's not enough?
No, it's not like that.
You don't have to act like a superwoman in front of me.
I like you just as you are.
I like when we are this close.
We can kiss...
And I can hug you tight.
That is all I need to be happy.
So your saying... You don't need to strain yourself for love?
I like it like this.
Hello?
You have the wrong number.
I should rest.
I strained myself for the past two days, and I'm tired.
Yeah. Rest.
I'll go in.
Go ahead.
Good night.
