- Episode 12 -
Ah!
That's how I want the woman who can make my eldest son laugh again,
even if it's today, fall straight from the sky.
If only that would happen, I'm ready to give away the remaining years of my life, not five years,
even ten years.
In-law!
How can you really say that?
Really! This is too much!
After I got the call that Jin Joo was kicked out,
I should have just left.
I mean, how could you say that in front of someone who lost their daughter?
No matter how bad you feel for your son who lives alone,
my daughter died!
I won't be able to see her face ever again!
Aigoo, Jin Young...
Aigoo, why did you have to die? Why did you die?
Aigoo, I should have died then too!
♪ She's going!
♪ The one I've grown fond of
♪ is leaving me...
Excuse me, I-I-In-law.
♪ When will she come back?
In-law, I did wrong...
You did do wrong!
Of course, you did wrong!
How can someone as educated as you, say such things
to someone who lost her daughter?
You can't even differentiate between what should and should not be said.
Fine, let's consider that I'm like this because I'm ignorant.
Try seeing it from my perspective.
A dead person is more pitiful. How can a living one be more pitiful?
Still, Son-in-law Lee gets to see his children grow up and also eats delicious food.
He also gets to visit nice places, but my daughter...
My Jin Young
lives inside a jar, as powder.
Aish. My Jin Joo should've gone too.
I'll be back. I need to pee.
What the heck? You're just eating my money.
Move.
For some reason, it looks like you will do well.
In one try!
This one too!
Awesome. Awesome!
What else do you want?
You're going to get all of them for me?
Thank you.
For these, too...
The kids will like them.
This is your daughter's.
Thanks.
And... This is yours.
Its name is Happy.
Since it will bring you happiness.
You made In-law cry?
What do you mean by saying I made her cry?
She made herself cry.
What's with you?
That's right. I'm the only troublesome and stubborn wife.
Doesn't everyone have a conscience and good judgement?
I'm also an educated woman.
I also have good judgement, a conscience, and manners,
just like you do.
I have them, but because it concerns my child and since I'm also a mom,
I also became a bit shameless.
Is that so wrong?
Well if in-laws get together to drink,
the mistake our younger son made to Miss-in-law,
that's something you should console her about.
Why did you have to mention our eldest son?
Well then, when you do the dishes, are you picky over which dishes to wash?
While we were talking about the kids, I just happened to mention both of our sons.
So, what did you say? What did you say to make In-law cry?
I talked about the eldest son getting remarried.
This person!
I didn't even get that far.
Our eldest, who's like a dead tree,
if I could see him put out a new leaf,
I said that was my wish.
You have to choose your words according to the appropriate time and place.
Why out of all people did you have to say that in front of her?
She was talking about the kids, so without me knowing, it just came out.
I don't expect much.
Children who are lacking till the end... Don't other people feel the same way?
Being safe without getting sick, not having others point fingers at them,
having them live relying on their abilities, are really grateful things.
If you are greedy for more than that, you will be punished.
That's how I think.
But, our eldest isn't really living.
A person has something called a heart.
That heart should be pounding heartily.
Our child is like one without a heart.
That's right. Our eldest, a woman who can make him laugh,
I said it would be nice if there was a woman like that.
No, it's fine, even if it doesn't go that far.
That child who is like a dead tree,
I said it would be nice if someone would at least shake him up.
He's always the same, "It's alright, I'm sorry."
Our eldest who only says those words,
I wish he had someone to get angry at.
I mean if he could have someone beside him to fight with,
and have someone make him upset,
and also laugh with afterwards...
What kind of son is the eldest to us?
He died the morning of his 100 day birthday.
He died without being able to wear the clothes I sewed for his 100 day birthday party.
After cremating him, there wasn't much left.
We put him in a jar and buried him in the corner of the garden.
Were you and I really living?
Our child had died, but I was still lactating.
Every day,
I pumped my breasts as I kept crying.
Because he was born, we managed to live.
Where are you going?
Where are you going, Honey?
This side is safe.
♪ When I think of you ♪
♪ Without me knowing, a smile blooms ♪
♪ One day, above the sky I gazed at ♪
♪ Drawn in white was your face ♪
Can't you like me?
Am I not allowed to date?
Don't worry about work. Don't worry about the children and Grandmother either.
You were really cool.
♪ Love, to me like the spring sunshine ♪
♪ Without me knowing came and touched my heart ♪
♪ And surrounded me ♪
♪ Just with the sound of your name ♪
♪ Just with my heart filled with love ♪
♪ Bringing a smile to my face again ♪
If you have something to say you can come inside and say it. Why do you call your father outside?
Is it something your mom shouldn't know about?
It's actually something Mom should know about, but I wanted to tell you first.
What is it?
Ta-da.
What's with the flower all of a sudden?
Father.
It looks like you'll become a grandfather.
Jin Young is pregnant, Father.
Is that so?
That's good, it's good.
Congratulations. But,
it's something you should be congratulated for, why are you giving me a flower?
I was coming out of the hospital after confirming it,
and my heart was so overwhelmed with joy that I felt like I was going to tear up.
I was looking at the sky thinking it hadn't been long since the good news,
and I immediately thought of you.
Father.
Father, when you had me, were you also happy like me now?
Of course!
To a man, his first child is the sky and the earth, his self,
and the whole world.
Thank you for bringing me into this world, Father.
I'm the one who should be thankful.
- Because I couldn't do things better— - Not at all, Father.
Even though we've only confirmed she's pregnant, I think I can understand
how you felt while you were raising me.
That's right.
Let's go inside. Your mom will be really happy.
Also this flower, can you give it to your mom?
No, Father, I was thinking of you when I bought it. Let's go inside.
Father
Yes, Father?
Where are you?
I'm on my way back home.
Are you driving now?
No, I'm just sitting for a bit now.
Where is there a place for you to sit on your way home?
Ah, well, just for a bit.
Am I at cross purposes with you?
I'm just in the park, Father.
Are you alone?
I'm sorry.
There is nothing to be sorry for.
This isn't something for you to feel sorry towards me.
Yes.
Father.
I'm fine.
Yes, I know.
I know without you telling me.
Even if you say things that are different from what's really inside your heart,
I just know what you want to say.
I...
Even if I pretended not to know you heart,
I just know it all.
Yes.
Let's hang up, you go inside.
Yes, Father.
He is sitting alone in the park,
not even going home.
This punk.
So this is why you are called Happy?
Mom! Mom, wake up! You need to change your clothes before you sleep.
Mom!
Let her be. It's useless, she won't budge.
Dad! By any chance, Mom wouldn't have lost her inhibitions in front of Elder-In-law, right?
You know Mom's behavior, the one where she cries and talks about Unni whenever she drinks.
No way, she wouldn't do that there.
Did you already forget the time you told her to hurl the prawns at that house?
So why did you go to that house and make us look like crap?
Oh, Brother-in-law came!
Brother-in-law! I've come back home.
When did you come? I was about to come get you since tomorrow is Saturday.
Today.
I used my head and came back. Although I might not have book smarts, I do have street smarts.
- Welcome back Son-in-law Lee. - Yes, I'm home.
You know what Brother-in-law? Mom is now drunk and...
The kids fell asleep in your room again.
Ah, yes. What about Mother-in-law?
No, it's nothing.
Brother-in-law, but what's that stuffed toy you're holding in your hand?
It's for Bin. It's B-B-Bin's.
- Bin will like it. - Quickly go inside and take a rest.
Yes, please rest.
Father-in-law, why don't you come to the public bath with me?
Public bath?
Oh that sounds nice! It's been a long time. I should have a refreshing soak.
Soo is also coming.
Alright, let's go.
Oh, right, Mother-in-law how are you feeling? I heard you caught a cold and slept early yesterday.
Ah, yes I'm all better now. It's alright. I feel well.
What a relief. I'll bring Soo.
Yes, yes, go ahead.
I was busy sleeping yesterday after drinking so I couldn't tell you, but In-law
is dying to have our son-in-law remarry.
Are you saying that the In-laws still haven't given up yet?
Don't tell Son-in-law Lee about Jin Joo getting chased out, he'll needlessly be concerned.
Of course. I already told Jin Joo to keep her mouth shut about it yesterday.
Because of that wench, we are facing a huge problem.
Now what?
As soon as she finished breakfast, she left again. She didn't even tell me where she was going.
Aigoo, is she going to school or not?
At this rate, what if she says she's going to quit school?
Shave her head.
- Until she's bald?- Yeah.
So you like places like this?
It's a bit out-dated, isn't it?
That's right, it's a really old restaurant that's been open for over thirty years.
Since it's our first date, I felt it had to be here.
Let's start by ordering.
- Excuse me! - Yes.
We will have this please.
One order only please.
One?
Yes. One only.
Yes.
Why are you ordering just one? Is it because it's expensive? I have money.
What is it? Are you dieting, too?
Did you gain weight?
This is the location of the first date for a certain man and woman.
In the past, this was the best restaurant in Seoul.
At that time, the man was an ordinary salary man so this kind of luxurious restaurant was a bit burdensome.
But since it was his first date, he came here.
But as soon as the woman saw the menu, she ordered the most expensive item.
- That woman is dense. - Yes.
While the man was flustered and calculating how much money he had in his wallet,
the woman placed only one order.
So the man thought to himself "Were my inner thoughts obvious?"
As he was thinking "Today's date is ruined",
the woman said this:
"From today onward, let's share everything, like today."
It's so romantic.
In an instant, the diet became romantic.
Right?
It's my mom and dad's story.
It's their first date story.
I also heard about it when I was I child, and from then on, I kept thinking about it.
Next time I find a girl I like, I will come to this restaurant
and also do the same for our first date.
I'm touched.
As expected, you're old-fashioned.
I got it, from now on let's share everything together.
You're splendid, Kim Tae Min.
Thank you, Jang Jin Joo.
I feel really bad for you. It's a Saturday and you don't even have a date.
The way I see it, you're even more pitiful.
You should ask me about meeting my first love.
Cold wind is blowing through my mind and my heart is hurting to death, but
I have no place to talk about it.
You finally met her, that married woman?
How nice it would have been if she was a married woman.
She isn't?
It was all a lie. Everything about the States, the dentist, and the marriage, too.
Why did she tell such a lie?
Imagine you were her and think about it carefully.
There was a man she liked. Me.
This man was lacking in ability so the family tries to marry her off to another.
But, her household became totally bankrupt.
Because she was conned, she couldn't get married and her current living condition is shabby.
Under such circumstances, she met her first love again.
Ah, pride...
So did you pretend you didn't know?
Yes. I played along and let her go, but
I keep thinking of her.
The lonely way she was walking alone,
the worn window of a shabby basement room that's the size of my storage room,
the thought of her sitting in that room alone
makes my heart...
That's why cold wind was blowing?
Go to her, Oppa.
You never know, she might have been waiting for you to notice that she was lying.
If I go to her, will things change?
When neither of us have anything?
Seeing that she's guarding her pride, that means she still likes you.
So what if you're not capable?
Those who are lacking should share the load of hardship and sadness together, with warmth...
Why don't you write a novel?
Sharing joy doubles it?
The same goes for poverty?
If you cut that in half, it's supposed to decrease, but the unhappiness increases.
Poverty brings more poverty. At the end of unhappiness is even more misfortune. No matter how many pennies you save, you are still poor.
On top of two people's poverty, progressive tax, surtax, and even additional tax gets tacked on
like a terrible typhoon.
So are you going to do nothing?
I'm sorry, Ahjumma.
Oh yes. I just bought medicine and got in.
Good. Eat something first then take the medicine.
Don't worry about the restaurant.
Take the medicine and sleep. Also, turn up the heat.
For the flu with body ache, rest is needed more than medicine.
Alright.
She has the flu with body aches?
She can't even speak properly and only coughs.
That's a disease of the heart.
Aigoo, I know, right?
I picked up the clothes from the dry cleaner. Where should I take them?
If you're busy, should I send them via delivery service?
This one is using her brain. As an unemployed person, she finds it troublesome, doesn't she?
Woo Young, there isn't one for you. I didn't think you would like a doll anyway.
What would I do with a doll?
Mom, tonight is the night Dad will call, right?
As a matter of fact, I was planning to tell you.
I have big news for you.
What is it?
You want to see Dad, right?
YES!
Soon, we'll be able to see Dad. He is coming back from the States soon.
Woo Ji, Dad is coming. You're happy too, right?
Then, when is Dad coming, Mom?
He is coming soon.
It would be great if Dad comes soon. Right, Grandma?
Yes, you girls must be very happy.
It would be great if he brings a lot of presents.
Hey, you're stating the obvious.
What is this about Son-in-law Yoon coming?
I'm planning to tell the kids everything.
Alright, that's a good idea.
It might shock them at first, but it's something they'll
have to deal with. What good is there in delaying it?
Even though they're young, they know everything that's worth knowing.
When you were Woo Young's age, your mother was sick.
I was running the beauty salon, so I was extremely busy
since I had to earn money to buy your mother's medicine and send you to school.
You were only eight years old, but you ran the household.
When you came back from school, you made dinner,
did the laundry,
and gave your mom her medicine as well.
After I was done with work, at the bus stop
this little girl was waiting for her granny.
That's my granddaughter.
There's only one in the world,
my precious granddaughter.
It looks like your heart ached back then.
I was alright.
Yes, my heart was hurting.
Others even have fathers,
others don't have mothers who are sick.
It would have been good if you weren't my granddaughter, or my daughter's daughter.
You should have been born in a household where your father had a long life or
in one where your mom wasn't sick.
"Why did she have to be born as my granddaughter and suffer like that?"
That's how I was.
Back then, I went out to greet you so I could eat the fish-shaped cakes filled with red beans you'd buy when you got off work.
I wanted to eat that, that's why.
I was really okay.
Look at me now. The kids are doing well,
you're healthy and I earn my own money.
What problem do I have in my life?
That's right.
There are no problems, it'll be the same for the kids.
Woo Young.
Do you want to go out for a bit with me?
I'm going to tell you a secret.
Please give us two fish cakes.
Yes.
You grew so much!
Even last year, you only came up to here.
I'm supposed to grow very tall because I take after Dad. That's what he said a long time ago.
That's right. Grow very tall.
Also become handsome. You're going to be extremely cool, my Woo Young.
You resemble your dad a lot.
Like how soft-hearted you are, the way you treat your younger siblings,
the fact that you're tall, have big eyes, everything.
Since Grandma likes soondae (blood sausage) should we buy some?
Buy tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), too. Woo Ri and Woo Joo like it.
Okay, let's buy tteokbokki, too.
Woo Young, do you want to have a chat with me over there?
Stretch out your legs like me.
Wow, at this rate your legs are going to be longer than mine.
Tell me. You said you have something to say.
Before I told you your dad would come to Korea soon.
Even if he comes to Korea,
I don't think he will be able to live with us.
Then... where does Dad live?
Your dad will live in his house.
I think we'll live together like now.
There are a lot of families in the world that live separated.
I know that too.
Right, I'm sure there are many households like that among your friends.
Honestly, right now we're living separately from your dad.
It's already been 3 years. It's really been a long time right?
You and Dad...
Got divorced, right?
Woo Young...
I thought it was weird.
In the 3 years, Dad never came to see us.
Last year, I told Dad I'd go to him.
But you didn't send me.
You didn't send our letters either.
Dad never went to the States.
Right?
Why did you get a divorce?
Who's fault was it that you got a divorce?
There's no one at fault.
Even if there's no one at fault, there are times when we fight. You also have those moments with your friends.
If I fought with a friend, you told me that I should make up with them.
Can't it be like that between you and Dad?
Can't you make up and live together like before?
We can't do that.
Your dad and I...
already parted ways.
How can that be?
Without even saying a word to me.
Even if your dad and I live separately, we can live happily.
When dad isn't here...
How can we be happy?
After divorcing him, were you happy?
I...
Wasn't happy.
To be honest...
It was really hard.
But Woo Young, I really tried my best.
To live with you guys and grandma happily.
After trying so hard, you, Woo Ri, and Woo Joo all grew up.
Because of you guys, there were so many times when I was happy.
Because of your grandma, I was able to endure it.
Also, I made up my mind to live diligently.
Even though I divorced, I'm not a criminal.
Because I wanted to be a good mom for you guys.
I really tried to live confidently.
I wish you could do that for me too.
Even if you're not happy now, try hard to become happy,
and no matter where or in front of whomever, confidently and in a cool manner.
I wish you would do that.
You're also my son, so you can do that like me, right?
It's okay if it's not now.
Just like how I needed some time, you will too.
If you want to be mad, you can. If you want to cry, you can.
Then, what are you going to do about Woo Ri and Woo Joo?
I'm not sure yet.
That's my biggest homework.
I'll worry with you.
So refreshing.
What's the use of washing at home 100 times when you can't get any of the dirt and dead skin cells scrubbed off?
Let's go to the mountain tomorrow, Grandfather.
Should we? Son-in-Law Lee, let's go. The weather is also warming up.
Soo, which mountain do you want to go to?
Inwangsan. On our way, we can also drink water from the mineral spring.
Okay then, let's do that.
Woo Young, since your siblings and grandma will worry,
how about going in with a smiling face?
Watch me.
Spaghetti.
Kimchi.
You try it too.
Spaghetti.
Mom...
Is this how you come home every day?
Huh?
You really tried hard.
Woo Ri, Woo Joo, look what mom bought.
Smell it first.
Tteokbokki! (Spicy rice cake)
Soondae!(Blood sausage)
My children, you have such a great sense of smell.
You should have told them to give you lots of Soondae.
Woo Young said to give a lot because his grandma likes it.
Ah, the weather is really nice.
I really like the evening.
Oh! Let's go over there.
-Where?-Over there!
Wow! It's totally nice.
This is where couples take photos.
- Should we take photos too?- A little bit later.
It's pretty.
We made a good decision to come, right?
Yes, it's pretty.
The stars that I couldn't see that night, I'll count it as seeing it with you today.
Since both of you are beautiful and twinkle just the same.
Ah, this is nice.
I know right.
Not the night view, but you.
Ah so cheesy.
Oh really, am I cheesy?
Am I cheesy?
Let's do this, I've always wanted to do this once.
In remembrance of our first date.
Deal.
You really don't know me? I'm a pro athlete and on top of that, a star.
I walk around, elegantly.
Did you do the dry cleaning properly?
I got it done by the best dry cleaning shop in our neighborhood.
There isn't any problem, right? Then.
Did you confess?
To that 7 year unrequited love, did you or did you not? You couldn't, right?
Excuse me.
From the beginning, I was really bothered by you. Whether I confess or not what's it to you?
It's not "excuse me", my name is Kim Sang Min.
I told you earlier.
It's an innocent curiosity. Seven years unrequited love isn't common, you know.
Also now that I think of it, I think I gave you wrong advice. Don't confess.
He doesn't know yet that he's your unrequited love for 7 years, does he?
When a woman has unrequited love for 7 years and the man doesn't know, there are only two reasons for that.
It's either he knows but pretends not to or he's not interested in you as a woman.
In your case it's probably the second one. Last time, you said it yourself.
That he doesn't see you as a woman.
Does he have a girlfriend?
He doesn't have a girlfriend but,
- He seems to like my friend. - Your friend?!
You are really an idiot.
What were you doing while he started liking your friend?
Your friend, is she prettier than you?
Yes.
See! You're not in the position to have a boyfriend.
You can't hang out with a friend who is prettier than you!
Everybody knows that, how can you not know?
How can I be choosy over such things while making friends?
Also, the person I like isn't the kind of man who likes a woman just for her appearance.
Enough with praising him.
Is your friend kind?
She's not a bad person.
Then at least tell your friend.
-Tell her what? - That you like him.
First you need to stop him from dating your friend, don't you think so?
I'm on a Namsan date with Tae Min, we hung our love padlock!
Yeon Tae, me and Jin Joo have decided to date.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
I'm late.
I'm always one step late.
Hey!
Why are you crying? Why?
Was someone in an accident?
Did someone die?
Hey!
How can you cry here? It looks like I'm the one who made you cry!
Does this make sense? They said they hung their padlock in Namsan. (Namsan Tower)
Do you know how many padlocks my friend hung in Namsan?
This is already the fifth time.
She doesn't even know it's with the person I like, like a fool.
My friend is the type who always hangs a padlock whenever she gets a new boyfriend.
It's not me who made her cry. Hey.
Hey stop crying, if you are going to cry then go home and do it.
I really wish I could just die.
Yes, well whether you die or not, you can't be doing this here— What?!
Die?!
Why would you die?
I think I'm the biggest fool. I know they're dating and I still like him.
I'll see his face tomorrow as well.
So you die because of that, huh?
If I jump in the Han River right now, do you think it would be too cold?
Since I gave you your clothes, don't contact me again please. I'm leaving.
Han River, my ass.
Ah seriously!
Hey! Hey you!
Seriously, don't go to the Han River.
The world is big and it's full of men, why do you needlessly want to die for him? Do you realize how stupid that is?
Excuse me.
I'm not the idiot, you are.
I told you that I liked him for 7 years.
It's not 7 days or 7 months.
It's 7 years.
This kind of feeling, I bet you won't even be able to imagine it.
During that long period of time, we were in the same school dreaming and studying the same things.
We even got assigned to the same workplace as if it were fate.
Do you know what I was thinking about everyday during that time?
Living with that person in a small and pretty house,
with kids who look like him, living happily.
Growing old gracefully,
that kind of dream.
You can't understand such emotions. You said before that you never confessed in your life.
Then you've probably never really liked someone first.
You don't have precious feelings or memories that can be held onto for a long time.
All you care about is how you appear to strangers and people who pass by you.
You probably have never properly loved someone even once.
You're so busy being concerned about this and that, would you have ever dated just one person?
Then would it be possible for you to understand my feelings even just a bit?
That's right.
- You are right but— - Don't bother with me and don't follow me, whether I live or die.
Taxi.
I don't care anymore.
Ahjussi, Mapo Bridge.
Hey! Ahjussi wait, wait!
- Hey! You can't! Come out!- What's with you?
- Let go! - Come out!
Mapo Bridge!
I will take you there personally.
Where are we going now?
Just sit still.
I'll definitely take you to Mapo Bridge.
I also know of a good place to jump from.
It's not this way.
All roads lead to each other. It's because I have to buy something before we go to Mapo Bridge.
I thought there would be a place that would sell at least one but there aren't any.
Oh,
Hey! You wait right here.
You can't run away anyway. Once I turn off the ignition and get off,
then the doors won't open. Why? Because my car is a nice one.
Don't think about forced kidnapping or abduction, what would I ever do with you?
Cry as much as you want. Make your final phone call if you need to. If you want to write a will, do it.
I'll be back.
What is he doing?
Think of this balloon as that man you have unrequited love for. Your heart,
put it inside the balloon and let it fly away.
This really works, I'm living proof.
Why would I not get dumped? I've also been dumped! I've also stood here wanting to die.
I couldn't die. I'm also a pro at swimming and diving.
In any case, you're clearing out your unrequited love of 7 years today.
To Tae Min, whom I liked
I loved you
Goodbye, I bid you farewell
Please be happy
See? Since you are sending him off, he's not even looking back and going.
Did you cry it all out?
Don't throw that tissue away in the car. Be sure to keep it in your pocket and take it home.
But, did you get employed? Weren't you unemployed?
You don't need to know that.
This really! I even saved your life today what is with the term, "you"?
I said my name is Kim Sang Min.
- Thank you for the ride. - Of course you should be thankful.
I'm sure you have never received such kindness and consideration.
Also, the balloon.
Thanks to you, I think I feel a bit better.
Then.
Having a difficult time to the point you want to die, that's just temporary.
Time is medicine.
It will get better little by little. If you wait, everyday it gets better even if it's by the size of microdust.
I know it because I've experienced it.
I have too many experiences, needlessly.
Then.
Did you turn off the sign?
Yes, I wrapped up work well, Mother in law.
You worked hard.
Is So Young sleeping?
I don't think she is asleep yet.
♪ All that I have is all that you've given me ♪
Where did you put the medicine for indigestion?
Honey, is there nothing to eat?
Why, are you hungry?
Yes, Mother-in-law where is the ramen?
Hold on.
I have something to discuss regarding the children.
Please come near my work place on Monday during lunchtime.
Hello Team Leader, did you have a good weekend?
Ah, yes.
I came early and did some organizing.
Ah.
Did you find out why I named the doll Happy?
Yes.
I told my oldest kid about it yesterday. About me being divorced.
I see.
He seemed to be accepting the fact quite well compared to what I thought.
I feel so much better that I was able to tell him everything
but I am a little worried that the kid will grow up way too fast because of it.
Then what about you, Assistant Manager Ahn?
What do you think Assistant Manager Ahn?
I realized that I've been living while lying to the kids.
I was even practicing how to smile as if I were saying "Mom is happy."
I acted as if I've been a happy person all this time to my oldest kid
and told him that we should live happily in the future too but
he asked me if I was happy.
Once I heard that I wasn't able to say anything.
To be honest, I wasn't happy.
I really wasn't happy at all.
I was in so much pain as I was living in resentment and hate towards the children's dad.
But since I told my kids to be happy,
from now on, I plan to be really happy.
Even though I got divorced, I have to be happy in order for the kids to grow up happy, isn't that right?
So are you going quit living with the mindset that you're a machine?
Yes, I will be quitting for sure.
That's good.
What time and where do I need to meet you?
You got here early?
Didn't you say you moved to a different job? Is it nearby?
You can omit all the greetings since you're not curious about it anyway.
I'll have Bibimbap.
Let's have Kimchi stew.
Assistant Manager Ahn, you like kimchi stew too, right?
She left saying she had another appointment.
If you are going to have kimchee stew too then
- Ahjumma! - Yes.
One bibimbap and three servings of kimchi stew.
Okay.
Who does Assistant Manager Ahn have an appointment with?
We don't know that either.
You didn't change your mind about letting me see the kids right?
First of all, I told Woo Young about it yesterday.
How could you do that without even discussing it with me?
So, what did Woo Young say? Wasn't he shocked?
It seemed like he already assumed that was the case.
Since I told Woo Young first,
With Woo Ri and Woo Joo, let's see Woo Young's reaction and think more about it.
My wanting to meet the kids
has nothing to do with trying to give you a hard time.
I know, that you sincerely miss the kids.
I didn't tell Woo Young that things became this way because you had an affair with So Young.
Really?
It's not for my sake or yours.
It was for the sake of the children. It will be like that in the future too.
So you should keep it that way too.
I feel thankful that you did that from my perspective.
I don't know about Woo Ri and Woo Joo,
but Woo Young can possibly remember that So Young was my friend.
I think it would be better to talk about your re-marriage
gradually as you see Woo Young.
You take care of it personally since it involves you.
Someone once told me this.
Look deep inside your heart, Assistant Manager Ahn.
See if you are just punishing the children's dad by not letting him see the kids.
He asked me if I am not letting you see the kids because I want to torment you.
Honestly, you had a bit of that intention, right?
Yeah, I did.
I admit it.
Even when Woo Young wanted to go to the baseball field
and also whenever we went to the public bath and I sent him into the men's side.
Even when Woo Ri and Woo Joo were envying the kids that were riding on their dads' necks,
and that's when I knew that my kids need a dad too.
I wanted to contact you and discuss it
but I didn't.
I waited though.
I am sorry to you and the kids about that. I was wrong about that.
If you had allowed it, then I would've played my role as a dad.
Even though the so called good dad no longer exists,
it's still better to have a dad like this then no dad.
What about Assistant Manager Chun and Young Jae?
They went to get some coffee.
There is a drip coffee place in front of the sports center
and they say that place makes the best coffee in town.
Oh! It's Assistant Manager Ahn.
That's her ex-husband.
You know him?
Yes.
I told you before that Assistant Manager Ahn had a trivial incident at her previous company.
I don't know too much about it, but Assistant Manager Ahn went through a lot of heartache because of that man.
Hae Sung, you go first.
I have somewhere I need to stop by.
If you have something to discuss about the kids you can call me anytime.
So Young will understand everything.
Do you want to go eat? It's lunch time.
Forget it. We are not in a relationship to eat comfortably.
Alright, then. Are you planning to go straight to work?
Lunch time is over, so of course I have to go back.
Your company is this way?
Oh, give that to me, it must be heavy.
If you are done talking about the kids then stop clinging on to me and go.
What? Clinging onto you?
You always talk that way, sheesh.
This bag is not heavy at all, the three kids that you left behind are heavier.
Well, your temper still seems to be there.
No wonder you seemed to be so gentle at the coffee shop.
I didn't want to raise my voice while talking about the kids
and I tried my best to treat you well because I didn't want to get all emotional.
If you're done talking, leave.
Alright. I will go. Who told you I wasn't going?
I couldn't live with you because you are this way.
You won't last very long with that man either.
He'll get so sick and tired of you that things will end really quickly, that's for sure.
Why do you care?
Snap out of it, you are a divorced woman that has three kids!
Think of the kids.
Is this the time for you to be dating...
Oh, so you had an affair because you thought about the kids, eh?
Even if I were to date 12 more times,
I think about the kids way more than you!
Every man is practically the same so just keep that in mind! Okay?!
Can you make Sushi to go?
Yes sir. We have all different kinds that you can choose from.
Have you decided?
I'm sorry, I'll cancel it. I'll come next time.
Ah, yes.

Our eyes definitely met.
Why do I like this kind of woman?
I can't leave this company, Team Leader.
Let go of that hand so I can go down.
I am feeling very ill.
You look like a heart breaker.
- It's a good thing that you got caught by me today. I am—
Are you married?
Not yet.
I have a son.
If you go like this, I won't be able to sleep.
My heart hurts a little, Father.
If there's something I did wrong, please tell me.
I feel uncomfortable around you, Assistant Manager Ahn.
