(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
(Episode 17)
- Dad. - Yes. Do you need something?
You are staying here today, right?
Ah Ran. Well, that's...
No, I'm saying you can go.
I'm telling you because I thought you might be uncomfortable here.
I'm not uncomfortable here.
You have to get better.
That way, I'll feel better about leaving you here.
Then, are you saying that...
you're going to be here beside me to make yourself feel better?
Because of you and Mum,
I've always been uncomfortable and stressed.
I know.
So, I want to...
ask you to give me a chance to apolgise to you,
but I'm too ashamed to even beg you for a chance like that.
So he was at this house.
You left me and Ma Ru there and you have been here the whole time.
My goodness, what should I do with Ji Ah?
She's waiting at the door and keeps calling her dad.
Is there any way we can make her go away?
What was she thinking coming all the way here?
Go out and tell her Jung Ki will go back soon so that she'll leave.
How about we just call him for her?
Ji Ah's also his daughter, so we shouldn't really do this to her.
- Ouch! - You idiot.
Why do you keep changing your words?
Jung Ki is tender-hearted, so what will you do if he leaves with Ji Ah?
Even earlier, I had to work so hard on persuading him...
to make him stay beside Ah Ran.
Gosh, but we can't intentionally try to separate Ji Ah from him.
How will you handle it if Jung Ki finds out later?
He's easy-going about everything else,
but he won't forgive you if you do anything to his kids.
Gosh, I know that.
He can't even look after himself,
but he ended up having children in two different families.
I can't just sit here. I'll go out.
Oh? Gook Hee!
Where are you going?
Ah Ran hasn't totally recovered yet.
There is nothing much I can do for her.
When she wakes up, please make sure she eats.
It will be great if you can do that for me.
But it'll be good if you can see Ah Ran feeling better before you go.
- It's okay. - Jung Ki is here too.
I'll have to ask you to stop talking about Jung Ki in front of me.
No matter what he does with or for Ah Ran,
I've decided not to care.
Gook Hee, Gook Hee!
What should I do?
What if she bumps into Ji Ah?
Excuse me.
Miss.
Wake up.
Why are you here like this?
Miss.
Are you not feeling well?
Wake up.
Where do you live?
I don't...
I don't have a home.
My dad... My dad...
Gosh... Miss! Miss.
Miss.
I found her passed out in front of my house so I brought her here.
She could've got into a critical condition.
I know.
She's so young too.
She must've been feeling very sick to faint like that.
She's underweight, and she appears to be malnourished too.
Please treat her.
If she needs to be hospitalised, please prepare for it too.
But we need the contact information of her family members.
Until her legal guardian arrives, I'll take care of everything.
Please give her the treatment she needs first.
Yes. We will do.
Mr An, could you delay the meeting with the executives a bit?
Did something happen?
It's nothing serious. I'll tell you when I see you.
Okay. I'll inform the executives to wait for a bit.
Thank you.
She looks familiar.
What's this...
Miss.
Are you not feeling well?
Wake up.
Where do you live?
I found her passed out in front of my house so I brought her here.
Until her legal guardian arrives, I'll take care of everything.
Please give her the treatment she needs first.
That woman. Is she Dad's ex-wife?
This is ridiculous.
Gosh...
I should just kick out those beggars in the storage room.
I'm like a living Buddha.
I allowed beggars like them into my bar,
and I fed them and looked after them.
Who would be as generous and giving as I am?
Hey, where have you been?
Oh, I was...
How can your entire family be so shameless?
You're not even doing the work you are supposed to do for staying here.
I'll do it. I'll work.
Ji Ah. Stop pretending to be sick. That trick won't work with me.
At your age, you should be able to get over a cold in a few hours.
Why are you coughing all day?
By the way, how come you didn't come with your dad?
Please don't talk to me about my dad.
Hey, then who else should I ask about your dad?
Give me your dad's phone number.
I'll call him myself...
and tell him to move out if his work ethic will continue to be like this.
I don't know anything!
Look at you. How dare you raise your voice like that?
Mum, don't you think you're being too harsh on her?
It looks like you have a really bad cold.
Go in and get some rest.
Bom, is this your business?
Who are you to tell her to rest?
Whatever my mum says, just let it go in one ear and out the other.
Go into your room now.
I'll wipe the tables later.
I'm sorry.
Make sure you turn on the electric blanket before you sleep.
That way, you won't complain to me...
that your toes froze and fell off.
Mum. If you were going to take care of her like that,
why were you being so hard on her earlier?
You could've been nice to her from the beginning.
Are you not heading out to work?
I'm going, I'm going now.
I heard that there's a job that pays a high hourly rate,
and it happens to be related to food, so I'll go now.
Gosh...
Did she take medication?
Ji Ah.
I bought medication for fever, so take this before you sleep.
You should've put the electric blanket on a higher heat setting.
Don't worry about it.
Where is Ma Ru?
I guess he went to work.
But where did your dad go?
I warned you not to talk about my dad to me.
What's wrong?
Did something happen to your dad?
Don't talk about him.
He's not my father anymore.
Your fever is pretty bad.
I can't leave you like this here. Get up.
Let me take you to my room.
I told you not to worry about me.
How can I not worry?
You need to rest properly to get better.
You can't even get fresh air in this room,
and I know you have the electric blanket, but it's cold in here.
You're giving me so much hassle.
Are you really going to do this?
Listen to me.
Why are you doing this?
Oh? What's going on?
Why did you bring her here?
Ga Eul, put down a blanket for her.
What's wrong with her? Is she sick?
My goodness, she looks like a corpse.
Ga Eul, watch your mouth.
It's not like I wanted to come here.
Your sister dragged me here.
Gosh, I guess you still have the energy to talk.
Yes, I dragged you here,
so just do as I say.
You haven't eaten anything all day, have you?
I'm going to go make porridge for her, so...
change the handkerchief on her forehead,
and also bring Mum's humidifier to turn it on for her.
Mum was right when she called you Mother Theresa in Hapjeong.
Why are you being so nice to her even more than your own sister?
I'll go now...
No, don't worry. Ignore what she says.
Ga Eul, I know about that ring.
What about the ring?
So take care of Ji Ah...
and keep it as a secret from Mum.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
What about the bar?
I'm trying to track down your uncle.
Didn't you say you have work today?
It got cancelled.
How useless.
Can't you even find a proper part-time job?
It's just for today.
I'll be busy again starting tomorrow.
I'll be watching.
You hardly paid me a third of this month's interest.
I know! I'll pay you back even if I have to work overnights.
You little...
You better not beg me at the end of the month...
when you don't have it ready.
I'm almost ready,
so it's you who should have it prepared.
Looking at her talking back,
she must have some money saved up.
Where did she hide it?
- Mum! - My gosh! You scared me.
- Why are you going into my room? - Well, that's...
Where did I put my ledger?
Why would that be in my room? Go search your room.
You're right.
If she ever found out Ji Ah's here, she'll be really mad.
That poor girl could have...
got kicked out instead of getting taken care of.
I won't eat it.
Why not?
What's the point of eating and living?
What's wrong with you?
My dad went back to his ex-wife.
He left us behind and decided to live with her.
What are you talking about?
My dad has another woman.
My grandma is already there and so is Dad.
So when I went over, they wouldn't open the door.
They didn't even come outside although they knew I was waiting.
I'm sure it's a misunderstanding.
He's not someone like that.
What do you know?
It's embarrassing to say this, but...
my dad is really irresponsible.
He didn't even get a divorce...
and lived with my mum when he had me. He's a cheater.
Other people say he's a nice man,
but he's a bad person that made my mum cry all the time.
I'm sure your parents have reasons that you don't know about...
What reasons?
He acted like he was bound by that lady's leash.
See how he just left us for her...
as soon as Mum died.
What is this?
How can a father do that?
Don't cry.
You'll get more sick.
Don't cry.
Yes, what is it?
Ma Ru, where are you?
Your sister is...
I'm really busy right now. I'll call you after work.
What the...
But his sister's so sick...
Is he coming?
Yes, he'll be here.
Don't worry and get more sleep.
What are you doing?
Are you going out?
I should get to work.
Remember what I said?
You need to take care of yourself first.
Dad, my work is my everything.
Taking care of work is taking care of myself.
Ah Ran, our garden had beautiful hydrangea in bloom.
I've got better and I am going to work thanks to you.
Don't overdo it, okay?
I'm sure they'll make our team take responsibility for it.
What should we do?
What did we do wrong?
All we did was do as we were told.
Look at this situation.
Us weaklings will become the scapegoats.
Director Choi is the heir to the company...
and Mr An is her fiance.
Gosh.
I would like to talk to you...
in regards to the new project.
I have something urgent to get sign off from.
Ouch, my stomach.
Sorry.
I think it would be...
best to talk about it when they return.
Gosh...
Even if I sat still, Poongildang would have been mine.
Why did I go off and make a mess?
Gosh.
Ah Ran!
I thought you were taking time off. Are you back already?
Staying home is torture for me.
Don't say that.
Our team is trying really hard to find a way to save you.
That doesn't mean anything.
The people you worked with trust you.
What else could be as meaningful?
I guess so.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance.
You are always so organised...
and you always take the right path.
I figured you wouldn't agree with my project.
That's why I didn't tell you.
You still haven't figured me out right.
No matter what you do and what decisions you make,
I'm always on your side.
Since I always do what I want the way I want...
and was mean to you,
I thought you would hate me.
How can I hate you?
Even Mum pushed me away.
You'll get tired of me one day.
Stop talking nonsense,
and let's just think about what we should do to fix it.
Fix what?
It's already over.
I can already guess what the company will say to me.
But I really am innocent.
It's not like I was doing this for my own good.
It's a decision I made for the better of Poongildang.
I know that.
I know all of it.
What's the point...
when my mum turned her back on me?
You have me.
Please don't forget I'm right here for you.
That useless punk.
What did I say to you?
Stay out of my sight.
The only way to do that is to move out.
Can I run away from home again?
Do as you wish.
I'm going to stop caring about you like your father,
so do whatever you want.
Herbal medicine?
You should give it to your poor son here first.
Don't touch it.
It's not for you.
Is it Tae Ho's again?
So you'll act like I'm non-existent too?
Yes.
If I could, I would put you back where you came from.
To get rid of you.
Move.
Oh.
What?
What piece of work is this?
Are you Ah Ran's grandmother?
Yes, but who are you?
I'm Ah Ran's future mother-in-law.
I'm sorry to show up...
without notice.
Ah Ran's future mother-in-law?
Were there talks about marriage I didn't know about?
After Ah Ran's dad ran away to live with another woman,
you are probably just an old lady who is barely allowed to live here.
Why would someone bother to tell you anything?
My gosh.
How can you say such a thing in front of my face?
Here.
I went to a famous place...
and put in all the good ingredients...
to make a special herbal medicine for Ah Ran.
Please don't forget to give this to her.
I should take good care of my future daughter-in-law.
Is that so?
Why would a young person like her need this herbal medicine?
The effect of herbal medicine can be fully experienced when it's...
taken by an old person like me who doesn't have many days left to live.
If you don't have many days left to live,
why would you need to take something like this?
Gosh! Look at the way you're talking to me.
You're so rude.
What? Did you say I'm rude?
You're the one who should be polite.
Look.
You're the one who was rude to me first.
Who's calling you?
Mind your own business.
Isn't it your dad?
I don't want to answer it.
Jung Ki. What are you doing here?
You should go downstairs.
Ah Ran's future mother-in-law came to drop off herbal medicine for her.
Is that right?
I can't get a hold of either Ji Ah or Ma Ru.
I should go to them.
My goodness, Jung Ki. Where do you think you are going?
Because you're here now, you can meet...
Ah Ran's future mother-in-law and can finally be a father to her.
Just stay here, okay?
I'll go make sure your kids are okay. All right?
I'm sure this is the right place.
Where did they go?
Is there no one inside?
Who are you?
My goodness! What are you doing behind me?
No, I wasn't...
Why are you peeking in someone else's store?
You bit my lips too...
Who are you? Oh...
I think we've met before somewhere.
What are you talking about?
Right, that lady with a tiny waist.
What is this about now?
Stop talking nonsense, and let the kids know that I'm here.
Sorry?
Yes, it's this room.
Here.
Gosh, they're living in a room like this?
They grew up so privileged...
This is worse than the tiny room I was staying at.
Well, we gave them this room because they begged us.
It's not like we told them to stay here.
Look.
Would you have given them a room like this if they were your family?
Well, that's...
So we have them this electric blanket too.
Where are they now?
I don't know.
It looks like Ma Ru went to work,
and I have no idea where Ji Ah is.
Try giving them a call.
Gosh, I'm so upset.
- But, by the way... - My goodness.
How can you just leave like this?
What do you mean?
Tell the kids that their aunt will come back to get them,
and that they should stay here for now.
Wait, wait. Well...
You kissed me.
So, we should talk about it before you leave.
Gosh, you're ridiculous.
Do you think I wanted to...
do that?
Did you do it intentionally?
Even if it just happened because we weren't careful enough,
- we should talk about it so that... - You're being ridiculous.
It was just an accident.
There's nothing to talk about.
- Just forget about it! - Well...
But how can you just leave like that...
after kissing me?
Hey! Lady!
Ma Ru! Where have you been?
Ji Ah's not doing well.
What do you mean? What happened to her?
She's very sick, so Bom brought her to our place,
but she's not doing well.
What are you talking about?
She was fine when I saw her earlier.
Okay, so she's at your place now?
He's pretty good-looking,
but he's too incompetent.
He's really not my type. Not at all.
I guess she's feeling worse because she's upset.
Ji Ah.
Shush. She just fell asleep.
You must've been very busy today.
Yes. I'm sorry about earlier.
I think Ji Ah's fever went down quite a bit compared to earlier.
Thank you.
I always get help from you like this.
Don't even mention it.
Ji Ah ended up catching a cold because my mum's so stingy,
so I should do something to help her.
When I talked to you on the phone, you sounded stuffed up too.
Are you feeling okay?
Don't worry about me.
I'll take care of Ji Ah tonight,
so you should turn on the electric blanket and sleep warm too.
For people like you and me who work day in and day out,
we have to make sure that we stay healthy.
I'm sorry.
Are you going to keep saying that?
I assumed that you were working at a weird place and got mad,
so I'm really sorry about that.
I knew you wouldn't do that, but I was still worried.
Thanks.
It feels good to have someone who worries and cares about me.
But before you worry about me, take good care of yourself.
Okay?
Okay, I will.
I have to make sure that I complete this project myself.
If artificial additives can't be used, it will take more time.
I'll have to rely on marketing, if that's the case.
Mum.
Let me ask you once again.
To you, is this being responsible for what you've done?
Well...
Mum. I'd like to work on this project again from the beginning.
I won't disappoint you this time.
I think we should try changing our marketing strategy.
Why are you so thoughtless?
You lied to me and to others at the company...
to push through your plan of making that horrible wine.
That didn't work out, so you submitted a letter of resignation.
And now, you're asking me to give you another chance?
- Mum, I'm... - Ah Ran.
Let me tell you one thing.
I'm not scolding you...
about this project.
I'm worried about you because you seem to obsess over result.
You can't stand making a mistake or any failure,
so it makes me sad.
Who do you think made me become like this?
Are you going to say that again?
Before you blame anyone, try changing the way you think.
You submitted the resignation letter, so be responsible for it.
What does she want? Is she really trying to kick me out?
This is unbelievable.
What are we going to do?
Ji Ah and Ma Ru are...
living in a tiny storage room with mold all over.
They say people should experience hardship when they're young.
Once they walk through the thorns, they'll get to a better place.
How can you be so heartless?
You only care about your son, don't you?
That's right.
What's so wrong about a mother wanting to look after her son?
My son is going through the most stressful time right now.
Ah Ran is acting like that,
and his other daughter is also nagging him.
I'm sure Jung Ki's heart...
is torn into pieces at the moment.
Mum, you can't blindly take...
his side like that just because he's your son.
He's going through all that because of what he's done.
But what did the kids do?
Their mother passed away, and they became broke.
They're being put through all of that right now...
because Jung Ki is unable to be a better dad to them.
That's precisely why...
he moved into his first wife's house...
in order to solve the problems step by step.
He'll take care of his eldest daughter first,
and he'll of course take care of his other kids after that.
Gosh, when will that be?
If they're left like that, they'll either starve or freeze to death.
They're about to go out into the street having to beg for food.
Do you think we'll be any better if we get kicked out of here?
Right now, staying at this house...
is the only thing he can do.
Gosh, seriously...
What's going on with this young girl?
(ID Card, Choi Ji Ah)
Are you not feeling well?
Wake up.
Where do you live?
No...
I don't have a home.
My dad... My dad...
Choi Ji Ah...
Then you're...
- Hello? - I am...
the person you met in the morning.
How are you feeling?
- About that... - Why didn't you...
let me know that you were leaving?
I'm actually a friend of Ji Ah's.
She just fell asleep.
Really?
I decided to call since...
there was a phone number in her wallet.
Really?
Then I'll come and get it for her.
No, that's okay.
I'll give you another call.
- Is it Dad? - No.
You lost your wallet, didn't you?
The lady who drove you to the hospital says she found it.
What? She has my wallet?
Where are you going?
I don't want that woman to hold any of my belongings.
I don't want her to see my mum's picture in that wallet.
What is it? What's wrong?
That's my dad's ex-wife.
Then I'll go get it.
You'll get more sick if you go out in this condition.
Tell her this.
I hope she lives happily ever after with Dad.
I got it, so just lie back down.
No, I have to tell her myself.
Leave you behind?
What are you talking about?
No way.
I will explain everything when I see you.
Forget it. I don't need you.
Ji Ah...
You couldn't care less what happens to me.
You didn't even bother coming out when I went over to that house.
So what's the point now?
When did you come here?
- What are you talking about? - It's too late.
I hope you have a happy life.
Ji Ah... Ji Ah!
Is that your daughter?
Go ahead.
You were going to leave anyway.
You lived with her for 20 years. You are her father more than mine.
I haven't had a father for years.
It won't change much for me.
If someone must suffer...
because of someone who made family here and there,
it's enough with just me.
What else can I say to you?
But...
I want you to know that there wasn't a moment when I didn't think of you.
Forget it, that doesn't mean anything.
Was he sticking around so that he feels better...
about himself, and not because he cared for me?
And now he wants to go to his other daughter?
He's going to leave me behind again?
What are they to him?
Who cares about the illegitimate children?
She said it was somewhere here.
Jung Ki!
Bom. What brings you here?
Where are you going?
Where's Dad?
Did he really leave?
Is she his daughter?
She came all the way here?
She was Dad's other daughter?
