(Episode 7)
I already told you, we can't!
Mom, please.
What's all the noise about this morning?
Your daughter is asking me to buy a bike for her so she can ride it to school.
It'll be good for her to exercise. Buy her one.
We don't have the money.
If you buy me the bike, you won't...
have to give me bus money until high school. No, until college.
The way your grades look now, I don't think I need to worry about college.
- Mom! - Don't be like that.
Transportation costs will be the biggest problem with her grades.
Will she need to use KTX if she goes to a college out of Seoul?
Oh! Maybe we should worry about living expenses than transportation.
Dad!
So, what I'm trying to say is that your mom should buy the bike for you.
Then you buy it for me.
- Me? - Yeah.
I still haven't forgotten about your surprise party yet.
Why are you bringing that up again?
Happy menstruation day to you!
Fine!
Your dad will buy his daughter's bike for her!
- Yeah! - No way!
Dad said he'd buy it for me. What's wrong with you, mom?
- You're going to buy it for me, aren't you? - Of course!
You promised, alright?
I believe in you daddy. I hope you have a good day.
Okay. Have a great day, you're daddy's little girl!
Whoa!
Do you even know what you just did?
I got some love my daughter.
Wrong! You just filed for bankruptcy!
Bankruptcy over a bike?
You wouldn't be able to buy the bike Ik-hee wants even if you sold your car.
Yeah right.
Ik-hee's talking about an imported bike that costs $3,000!
What? How much?
Do you recall the winter coats that we referred to as "bankruptcy jacket"?
As the new school year starts in March, many expensive items...
also known as the "bankruptcy jacket" has been added to the list.
Yes, it really was true.
If I sell my car that was purchased in 2006...
I still can't buy her bike.
What will I say...
to Ik-hee?
Good morning, Mr. Choi.
How can you say "good" with that kind of expression?
How about you say something from the bottom of your heart?
Mr. Choi, will you lend me some money?
That's is from the bottom of you heart. So, how much?
- About $3,000? - You're not a Spartan, why $3,000?
Let's just stick to your original greeting. Good morning.
Then, would you like to buy my car?
It's 11 years-old, but it's accident-free.
I'll sell it for $3,000.
Then I'll sell you my 9 year-old car for $5,000.
We can trade cars and you can give me $2,000.
My, oh my! Oh my!
- Big news! - You have big news everyday.
You should become a reporter instead of working here.
It really is big news!
You know our new employee, Lee Kwi-nam? He brought his car today.
Do you know what he drives?
- Is this a quiz? - What about prizes?
Geez! It really is surprising news!
Well, I hope it's not an 11 year-old car that's worth $3,000.
I also hope it's not a 9 year-old car that's worth $5,000.
Don't be surprised.
Well, it's an import car that starts with B.
It's one of the most expensive and new SUV.
Isn't it crazy?
I bet he's on a lease he can't afford.
He also only buys name brand clothes too.
Isn't he living above his means?
I don't know what he's thinking or if he makes any sense. Do you?
- Are you jealous? - Looks like it. You lose if you're jealous.
Who's jealous?
I'm just worried about him as his colleague.
I can tell he lives in a rented studio eating triangle kimbabs...
while buying his car and luxury clothes.
I bet Chun-il is worried.
He had it coming.
He needs to learn a lesson this time so he stops treating Ik-hee like a princess.
He doesn't know how to say "no" to her.
He needs to be more stern and cut her off.
And Ik-hee can be really stubborn sometimes.
She whines until you finally buy it for her.
You don't have any rights to say that. Don't you remember how you were?
What about me?
You act like you were different.
Mom...
When I didn't get what I wanted, I stopped whining and figured it out on my own.
Yes, you did do that.
You stole your oldest aunt's make-up, stole your other aunt's perfume...
stole your older sister's clothes and your younger sister's food.
You did figure it out all on your own.
Seriously, mom! You're making me lose my appetite!
Do you know how many you ate? Of course you're hungry.
How come you come over to my house empty-handed all the time?
You only know how to take.
You're so cheap!
I don't mind giving anything to Ik-hee.
Don't forget your wallet.
Is this piece of rag or a wallet? You're liable to lose money with this.
I don't have any money to lose.
Are bikes that expensive these days?
Don't even get me started. You know those road bikes?
My nephew kept on asking for one so his dad bought one for $1,800.
But that wasn't the end of it.
Helmet, gloves, knee shields, saddles, new saddle bar and accessories for his tires.
That bike eats up money.
I can't break a promise in half a day.
You might have to file for bankruptcy for that bike.
Mr. Na, the longer you wait, the more hope she's going to have. Just tell her.
Why did I do that this morning?
- We're back. - Hi, we're back.
Hey there.
Why are you coming in together?
Because we left the office together.
Yes! A man is defined by the car he drives.
How could the great Ms. Ahn hitch a ride in a guy's car?
You can think whatever you like but there's no need...
to use 2 cars when we're going to the same place.
Yes, yes. Why, of course.
Oh! Did you hear that joke?
A woman who was on a blind date says, "Oh my! What kind of car do you drive"?
B-something.
Wow! Then where do you live?
Bench!
Have a nice day!
- Isn't it funny? Isn't it? - What are you talking about?
Mr. Choi, Mr. Na! What's wrong with Mr. Park?
It may be degeneration due to his feelings of loss.
Are you saying this because of the car I was driving today?
Of course not! What do you take me for?
That's his friend's car.
His friend let him borrow an expensive car like that?
He didn't let me borrow it. He's been out of town for a couple of month...
so he asked me to drive his car since it's not good keeping it off for long periods.
Is that so?
Geez. I totally misunderstood! You should've told me earlier!
So, how was it out on the field today? Was it hard?
You're so tight here.
- Your daughter is going to ride it? - Yes.
Can you give me some recommendations?
If she's in junior high, then this line will be good.
Out of these...
these carbon ones are great.
They're the most popular amongst junior high students.
This is the newest model. You should take this one.
$1,980.
$1,220.
$750.
How about... how much is this one?
This one is $112.
The rest of the bicycles are for little kids.
Why didn't you recommend this in the first place?
You should've told me to recommend a cheap on then.
You asked me to recommend a decent bike for you.
Then you asked for lower and lower prices. Do you know how many I showed you?
I'm sorry...
can't you understand a fellow dad?
It's been pretty hard lately.
Alright then. Will you like this one?
Yes, do you take credit cards? 3 months layaway please.
But you know, junior high school students aren't going to ride bikes like this.
I found the most perfect bike.
Ik-hee has always liked pink, even when she was little.
I know she'll be so happy, she'll say...
"Thank you so much, daddy"!
Are you crazy, dad? What is this thing?
You promised a road bike. You said you'd buy it for me!
That's why I bought this.
I thought this was the prettiest one there.
Want to listen to it? It's so smooth.
Are you joking with me, dad? How am I supposed to ride this?
Na Ik-hee!
What are you doing home when you should be at tutoring?
I only came because dad texted he bought my bike.
You're the same. You know what kind of bike I want.
Hey! Why does a junior high student need a $3,000 bike?
All the other kids are riding them.
- I wanted to buy it for you, but... - Never mind!
All you do is lie to me.
You look at sale racks when you promised to buy me a new backpack.
You have a backpack.
What's the harm in looking at sales when you get new one every year?
Those aren't in trend anymore.
That's right honey. Backpacks aren't much. Just buy her what she wants.
- $289! - Geez, I'm thirsty.
I wonder if there's water in the fridge.
Whatever, buy me a bike like you promised.
I already said we can't!
Daddy!
Alright.
When I win the lottery...
- Dad! - Hey!
How dare you yell at dad. Go to your tutor!
I'm starting to get really mad.
You both are liars!
- What are you looking at? - What?
- I wasn't looking. - Never mind then.
Do you want to borrow it?
What the... were you eavesdropping on us?
- I could hear it from here. - Yeah right.
I'm so pissed.
- You can borrow it. - Are you kidding?
I'm being serious. I don't ride it often so you can ride it most of the time.
- I'm not a beggar! - Okay, then don't borrow it.
- Are you really going to let me borrow it? - Yeah.
- But I don't know how to ride it. - What?
It only takes a couple of days, so do you want me to teach you?
Really?
30 minutes in the morning and night.
I'll pick you up after tutoring tomorrow.
What do you think?
Well, if you want to.
But on one condition.
I knew it.
- What is it? - Respect me like your older brother.
Are you crazy?
We have different parents, you're not my brother.
It's not right for you to not use honorifics when I'm 2 years older than you.
Call if off, if you don't want to.
I'll think about it if you teach me well. Just teach me first.
Sounds good.
Daddy's little girl, are you still mad about the bike?
Where's your little girl? I'm mom's daughter.
Oh honey! I feel so betrayed.
When I receive my incentive this month...
Forget it. Bo-ram, our next door neighbor, said he'd let me borrow his bike.
- Bo-ram? - Our neighbor's son.
He's older than you, don't call him by his name.
Who cares?
Anyways, Bo-ram's is really expensive but he's letting borrow his bike.
Really?
That's good to hear.
That means you can buy me my backpack, dad.
Okay?
Backpack?
You'd better buy it for me or I'll be really disappointed.
I should buy it for you. Sure, why not. Of course.
Alright!
I'm going to school.
Okay. Daddy's girl! Have a great day at school.
Good job.
You just made another promise you can't fulfill.
What? I'll buy it with my incentive this month.
- Oh! - What's wrong with this?
Oh no. I don't think you can fix that.
You did use it for a long time.
This is my only belt for suits too.
You can use your other old belt meanwhile.
It should be in the closet.
Honey.
You want me to use this thing?
You want me to wear this?
You don't have a choice right now.
Do you want one of mine?
I'll wear it today, but get another one for me today.
Okay, I'll look for one at the market.
Honey, I'm the head of my department.
I need a decent belt since I meet with customers.
Wait. You said you were going to buy Ik-hee's backpack with your incentive.
We don't have the money.
Honey! Please buy me a nice belt.
What's wrong with you? You only think about your daughter's back pack and your wallet?
Don't you see my wallet?
You can't tell if it's a wallet since it's so worn out.
Don't you see the wallet I've been using for the past 8 years?
I'll buy you one with my incentive.
My gosh! You act like you get paid millions for your incentives.
You can buy your daughter's $300 backpack, my wallet and your belt too!
I'm late! I'll see you later!
Geez! You're no help at all!
(Next door neighbor's cologne)
You were there? Are you on your way to work?
We're neighbors. The least he could do is say something when spoken to.
Does he have something stuck in his ear?
Your sense of fashion is very unique.
Excuse me?
Your belt is impressive.
Not a lot of people can pull that off.
Oh this.
Well, I like a lot of unique things.
I see.
I don't think I could pull it off.
It's unique and quite nice.
Isn't it?
You really are courageous. It'd be hard wearing that on a normal work day.
I guess.
Then, I'll be going now.
You're so lucky.
- Because of my new backpack? - No, because Bo-ram is going to teach you to ride.
I'm so jealous.
You should come too.
It's the morning and late at night.
Just tell Bo-ram some good things about me.
What should I say?
Tell him I'm planning to return his handkerchief to him soon.
Okay, I'll try to tell him.
- Really? - Yep.
But you have to keep it a secret from Yoon that I'm learning how to ride from Bo-ram.
- Why? - As if you didn't know!
No guy would like the idea that his love is learning to ride from another guy.
Then let Yoon teach you.
Then he'll find out I bought a bike because of him. I don't want to.
You're too much. Alright, I'll keep it secret from Yoon.
Whoa! How come we're more embarrassed for you?
Is it that bad?
You look like a rocker...
but I don't have any interest in fashion.
But I still think...
Just buy another one when you get your incentive.
I can't.
How can I buy mine when I can only buy either a...
backpack for Ik-hee or a wallet for my wife?
The head of the household sacrificing himself to buy his family a gift?
This makes me think of O. Henry's "The Gift of Magi."
Della cuts her hair to buy her husband a chain for his pocket watch.
And Jim sells his pocket watch to buy his wife a comb.
I had a similar situation long ago.
Let's see. I believe it was around 1998.
My son was born, but I couldn't find a job so my friend...
recommended me to a taxi company.
Times were hard since I was bad with direction and we didn't have navigation.
I would go home empty-handed since I could never fulfill my daily earnings.
But one day...
- I'll be back. - It was raining so hard that day.
Have a goo day, daddy!
My wife wanted ox bone soup.
Ox bone soup, please.
I promised I would buy it for her...
but I wasn't confident I could.
We didn't even have money to change my broken wipers.
But strangely, I had a lot of customers and I knew where I was going.
Even my wipers worked well that day.
I was able to a lot more money than usual...
so I went home early after buying ox tail soup.
But...
my wife...
and our son...
had already...
already...
My goodness, this is tasty. Another bite for mommy.
They were already eating ox tail soup!
That's when I thought to myself...
I should've changed my wiper instead of buying this soup!
- No! - My goodness!
How great would it be...
if I could change my wife!
Would you like a bite too, honey?
Something doesn't sound right.
Isn't this a story that was written by Hyun Jin-geon?
He must be troubled these days.
Let's go work.
Why did you call me over when it's almost dinner time?
Hey. Take this.
What's this?
Look at your wallet. No wonder money doesn't stay with you.
I don't know about anything else, but money comes in when you carry a nice wallet.
Buy one with that.
Aren't these gift certificates? Where did you get them?
Your younger sister gave them to me for my birthday...
but I don't need anything. So you can use it.
Don't tell your other sisters and go to the department store to buy yourself a wallet.
Oh! Mom!
Okay, okay. Get away from me.
You're grossing me out. Get away.
- Oh, mom! - Geez! What are you doing?
Alright, you're welcome. Now, go!
Cash is the best way to received your incentives!
Isn't that right, Mr. Na?
I don't know.
It doesn't matter much since it doesn't really belong to me.
Oh! Didn't you say you were going to buy a gift?
- Did you decide what you were going to buy? - No, not yet.
I feel bad for Ik-hee if I buy my wife's wallet...
and I feel bad for my wife if I buy Ik-hee's backpack.
What should I buy?
I vote for your wife's wallet. She used it for along time if she used it for 8 years.
Not me. I think a backpack would be better.
Kids these days are sensitive to trends.
Which one should I buy?
You should forget about everyone else and buy yourself a belt.
A belt is an employee's self-esteem.
I wish I could buy everything.
Mr. Choi, if you don't need your money right away, let me borrow it.
I've already decided to donate it.
- Donate? - Where?
I know a youth in need.
He doesn't have a job so he can't go out often...
and since he wasn't born with a silver spoon, so he has no one to depend on.
He's talking about his son.
Mr. Choi really does a lot for his son.
I don't know what to do.
I did the right thing. Let's not regret since I already bought it.
Yes, I did the right thing.
- Ik... - Over here, Na Ik-hee!
Whoa, Kang Bo-ram! You came early.
You still don't respect me?
Do you really want me to be formal with you?
You already know, so why are you asking?
Why? Are you going to be formal now?
I'll think about it.
Let's go.
I'm doing it.
Hold on a second. I've almost got it.
It's working. It's working!
You could ride it by yourself tomorrow.
You're already tired of teaching me?
I guess it's hard for a book worm to take time away to teach me this.
- I can teach you more, if you want. - Don't bother.
Don't hold it even if I don't go straight.
Really?
- Okay. - I'm doing it!
Na Ik-hee! You finally got it!
Yoon!
What are you doing...
Wait. Wait!
Wait a second!
- Ik-hee! - Ik-hee!
Are you okay?
- Welcome home. - Hi.
- What about dinner? - I grabbed a bite already.
Honey, is that...
Isn't that...
- You bought my wallet, honey? - You bought my belt, honey?
I didn't know you lived next to Ik-hee.
I didn't know you two were an item.
I didn't know we'd be all together, like this.
I thought you'd be upset with me, so I was going to tell you later.
Well, I guess it's nothing to get upset about but...
you should've asked me to teach you.
It's embarrassing. I wanted to ride with you after I learned how to ride.
Don't borrow his bike, I'll ride the bus with you.
I pass your house anyways, so let's time it so we can ride together.
No. I know how to ride a bike now. Plus, I've already borrowed this.
It's alright. Let's just ride the bus.
Bo-ram. Is that okay with you?
Well, it doesn't matter to me.
Do what you like, Ik-hee.
Really? Then let's ride the bus together.
Alright then.
Go ahead.
Thanks for teaching me, bro.
- Did you just address me formally? - Yep.
I said I would if you taught me well.
I see.
I forgot. It's getting late.
You can walk Ik-hee home. I'll see you later.
- See you. - Bye!
Just look at him. He has absolutely no loyalty.
We're neighbors and he knows I hurt my leg.
I'll walk you home.
Okay.
- Ik-hee? - Yeah?
- Are you close with Bo-ram? - Not really.
He just lives next door.
Don't meet up with him by yourself from now on.
What's this? Are you jealous, Yoon?
You are. You are. You are, aren't you?
- No, I'm not. - I think so! I think I'm right!
I said I wasn't.
Are you really jealous?
I'm really not jealous.
I'm so dumbfounded.
So what you're saying is that you bought yourself...
this expensive belt with your incentive?
Well, that's...
I felt bad for you, if I bought Ik-hee's and bad for Ik-hee if I bought your's.
I thought buying mine was fair.
Wait. What about you?
Your husband went to work in a belt that was in fashion in the 20th century...
but you bought your own wallet?
It's not like I used your money or took it out of our monthly expenses.
My mom gave me the certificates.
Oh my! Is that so?
So whatever your mom gives you, is your's?
Then how come you eat all the rice that my parents send up?
What? Are you really going to be that childish?
You're the one who started it. If it was up to me, I'd buy my husband's belt first.
I would've bought my wife her wallet first.
You have to fend for yourself, so I bought something for myself!
What are you going to do about it?
Good for you. So I used the certificates my mom gave me to buy something for me.
- You must be proud of yourself. - I've always been proud of myself.
What about my backpack?
When did you get home, Ik-hee?
What in the world?
What's wrong with your knee?
My knee's not the problem.
You didn't buy my backpack, but bought yourselves a wallet and belt.
Where are my real parents?
What are you talking about?
She's talking nonsense. Your dad bought his wallet so he couldn't buy your backpack.
Yeah right! That's not true, Ik-hee. You trust me, don't you?
She used your backpack money for her wallet.
Forget it. I don't need it.
Ik-hee, I would like nothing more to return my belt and buy your backpack...
but I can't since I put another hold in it already. What should I do?
Ik-hee, it's me who wants to return my wallet to buy your backpack...
but it's already stretched out.
Both of you can leave. Get out of my room!
Ik-hee, I promise this is the first time I bought something for myself.
And I had no other choice.
You should already know that I buy your things whenever I have money.
I really don't know.
That's right. It's me who buys you everything.
Like this jacket! Remember how I bought this for you?
I don't remember since it's been such a long time.
What do you mean? I haven't even paid it off yet.
Think really carefully.
Yes, try and remember what I bought for you too.
Oh! I do remember getting something from you two.
- Right? What did you remember? - What was it?
I received sperm from dad and an egg from mom. That's what it was.
Thank you for giving me your sperm and egg.
But get out since I want to go to bed.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Good night. - Good night.
She's mean because she takes after her mom.
She must take after her dad's dumb features.
Of all things to remember, she remembers sperm and eggs?
(Honey, where's Ik-hee?)
(I don't know.)
Have a nice day, I'm going to school.
What's that?
Aren't you taking your backpack?
No, this is plenty for me.
- Aren't I the best mom ever? - Yep!
I'm your daughter. I love you, mom.
Na Ik-hee! Want to see what daddy bought for you? Tada!
You bought one too?
Can I can exchange one of them for another?
- What? - What?
You bought one too?
You should've told me if you were going to buy it.
What the heck? I need to return it tomorrow.
I'm going to return mine. Let Ik-hee keep the one you bought.
You gave it to her first. I'm going to return it.
We've already over spent this month. I'll return mine!
- I had to use my emergency credit card. - I'm going to return it!
Yeah right! I'll return the one I bought!
