Subbing in the Rain presents
If I did what I wanted, then I would make it so that you couldn’t even step foot in here!
Stop it already!
What are you doing right now?
I won’t meet him.
I said I won’t meet him.
I won’t meet him any more, so stop it now.
Noona.
Everyone just stop now.
Joon Hee,
Let’s talk again later.
Let’s stop it here.
Let’s break up.
Noona. Jin Ah Noona!
What are you doing?
Noona!
At an elder’s house, what are you doing?! Go away!
What are you doing?!
- Why are you doing this? Let me go! - Noona! Yoon Jin Ah!
Open the door!
Joon Hee, please.
What is he--? Get him away!
Noona!
Let me go!
Open the door!
Noona.
Yoon Jin Ah.
Don't cry.
I'm fine, so don't cry.
I am sorry.
No.
It’s because I had too much to drink that I made a mistake.
Your father didn't…
Jin Ah Noona.
I know. I know. Don’t worry. Huh?
I’ll leave now.
Let me go.
Really! Why are you being like this? Really!
It hurts.
Seo Joon Hee
Let’s listen to some music.
Do you want to go up and have a cup of tea?
Please go on in.
Anyway, thanks to you, I’m back safely.
It seems I don’t have to worry about Joon Hee in the future.
He’s grown up well.
He definitely took completely after his mother.
Of everything I’ve heard from you, hearing that makes me the happiest.
Don’t live hating me.
It’s a waste of your lives.
If as we live, we happen to coincidentally meet again,
let’s be happy to see each other.
Go home safely.
Did you call by mistake?
No, I meant to call Father.
I’m ready to be scolded.
Please prepare yourself properly.
Noona.
Hello?
Yoon Jin Ah?
What are you doing?
What do you think I would be doing?
You’re very mad, aren’t you?
I’m not the one.
I know that you were mad and you wanted to upset all the elders. I understand completely.
I do understand, but--
I want to see you.
Wait.
I’ll go over there now.
Open the door for me.
N...Noona?
May I come in?
Where is your tea?
I don’t really feel like having coffee right now.
If you open the near front cupboard, it’s there.
I’m sorry.
I got too angry at Mom’s words.
And I wanted to quickly end that mess of a situation.
I said that I understood that.
You're angry.
No matter how hard it got,
you shouldn’t have said that we should break up.
At that moment,
I was really annoyed.
Okay. That’s enough.
It’s obvious that wasn’t enough.
Do you really want me to get angry?
Should I say that I was about to flip my lid, and yell and carry on?
That’s why I said I was sorry.
If you just threw out there that we should break up and run into your room, then what was I supposed to do?
How you were doing alone.
Whether you were crying again.
And I couldn’t reach you.
Really.
Do you know how I had felt till just a little while ago?
I know.
You must really know.
I know that I absolutely shouldn’t say words like that, but I made a mistake.
I won’t do that again.
Look at you trying to just gloss over it.
Then?
What should I do?
Should I do a deep bow, proclaiming that I had committed a crime deserving death?
When a person is angry, then sometimes
even words that shouldn’t be said come out, and things like that.
What?
Don't you make mistakes?
No matter how small, I don’t make mistakes like that.
There are words that you can and can’t say. How could you, there…?
That thing over there keeps whistling.
Would it be okay if I turn off the flame and then come back for the rest of the scolding?
Since the water has been boiled, couldn’t we make some ramen?
Why are you being like this?
Because I’m too hungry, so I don’t have the strength to be scolded.
Do I eat the ramen by myself?
I won’t give you even one chopstick’s worth.
Should I just leave?
I said I was wrong.
I need to pick up the pieces, but I didn’t know how to do that, that’s why I’m being like this.
We can just talk sincerely and figure it out. Why do you keep provoking me?
It’s not that I’m trying to provoke you.
It’s because I was wrong, so if we talk about it, it might just become an even bigger deal.
And also because I might make a mistake.
Why are you going under the covers?
Because while you’re mad, you might pick me up and throw me out of the house.
Before I die, I can’t step even one foot outside
While I’m speaking nicely, you should let go.
One.
Two.
If you cry, I won’t give you any ramen.
Give me ramen.
Just you do that again.
Look at me.
Yoon Jin Ah.
Hm?
Stay by my side forever.
Do you have to think about it?
I’m about to become sad.
For now…
For now?
Do what I tell you to do first.
Oh, you’re here.
Did you sleep well?
Yes, yes.
Did you pack all your things?
Yes, I packed everything.
Yes.
Oh, don’t come in.
Stop frowning.
Just a minute.
I need to use the restroom.
Yes?
You promised.
Without frowning
Huh?
Did you say you would be understanding? Or not?
I got it.
I mean it. Or else I’ll just leave on my own.
I said I got it.
Noona is watching, so do it properly.
You really aren’t like me.
I don’t really have a good eye for women.
Just in how I lost your mother, you should know.
Saying something like that now doesn’t provide any comforting at all.
It’s not that I’m trying to be comforting.
It means that I am sorry.
You who had chosen Jin Ah reassures me.
Thank you.
Please take care of your health.
And contact us now and then.
I’m giving you an opportunity to get a hug.
I can’t lose an opportunity for that then.
Here.
May I hug you once?
You have to definitely stay in touch.
Have a good trip.
Make sure to call us.
What?
I did everything you told me to do.
Aigoo. You did well.
Why?
I complimented you. Do you have a problem with it?
I asked whether you had a problem with it.
You know what’s going to happen next, right?
No, I don’t know.
You’re going to get caught immediately.
Say you’re sorry. Say you’re sorry.
So?
Thanks to Yoon Jin Ah, you acted like a son to Father.
So what of it?
Did you want me to bend over in a deep bow to Yoon Jin Ah or something?
I know this makes you feel bad,
but we didn’t do anything good either.
Even if he had done much worse, Father is not a person who could have shocked me.
What was really shocking for me was that,
at that house, how much they really looked down on you, on us!
That we finally learned that.
Wow. It seemed to overflow three mountains.
Even if she was going to lay bare to everything, it was too much.
She was too much.
But, if it was another family, do you think it would have been different?
The only difference would be how much they would actually say it to my face.
But without changing the circumstances of my birth, it would all be the same.
So?
Are you saying that you’ll throw away your pride and everything,
and everything is fine as long as the two of you are happy,
so you’ll just live that way?
And you want me to just watch that?
Noona.
Don’t act as if you’re frustrated.
And don’t treat me as someone who is being unreasonable.
No.
What does it matter?
When it seems you feel you're you and I'm me.
Why are you being like this? Really?
Why are you being like that?!
Noona.
Don’t try to change my mind.
I can’t see anything now. I don’t even see you.
So just do what you want!
Why are you cleaning at this time of day?
Where’s Mom?
In the bedroom.
Did you fight?
What is that?
Laundry.
Dad will do it for you.
You did fight.
Why did you fight with Dad?
What was it about?
Seung Ho, don’t even talk about it.
You.
The other time,
you said that you had even thought about dying.
And that it was ultimately because of Mom.
Why are you being so dramatic again?
You said that to scare me, telling me to leave your older sister alone.
Okay. Okay, let’s say I did.
So what?
Did I do it so that your lives would go wrong?
What is it that a mom is supposed to do for her children?
To give you at least one more better thing.
And even if it’s just by a little bit, to put you on the more peaceful path.
Why are you like this? Why? Why?
How you could so not understand a parent’s heart? It’s because I’m speechless.
I can’t believe that this is how I’m being repaid for all that I’ve done.
So it’s not Dad but Yoon Jin Ah?
Did she cause trouble again?
It’s for the best anyway.
Whether she caused trouble or not,
at least she’s finally broken up.
She said that she would break up with Seo Joon Hee?
When?
Do you guys set a date for things like that even?
She said she won’t meet him.
They were meeting.
What?
Oh. Well, while coming up, I was talking with Joon Hee.
And he was hanging out with Yoon Jin Ah.
Oh. Then those things…
were just putting on an act?
Oh.
Oh. My head. What to do?
Mom. Mom.
Mom. Mom. Calm down.
Calm down. Are you okay?
A nerve relaxant.
What? What did you say?
A nerve relaxant!
Oh. Okay. I’ll get one.
What is this?
It’s the money that you had asked me to save for you. That’s everything.
So why this?
Take it and get out.
If we both live in the same house seeing each other,
at least one of us won’t be able to live to old age. Don’t you think?
Do you really have to go this far?
You said I was childish?
You said I gave you gooseflesh.
You know very well that your mom is that kind of person, anyway.
No need for any further noise or trying to reason out.
Let’s just make it a clean break.
Where are you going?
Convenience store.
I should have some beer in my fridge.
Just go on in.
Noona.
What do you want me to do for you?
How can you say something like that?
There has to be something that you expect.
Everything that you’ve already done for me, I couldn’t pay it back even till my death.
Whether it’s a rich guy or someone who thinks that they are well born,
if I had chosen some guy like that and gotten married,
would we be living well by now?
There is no need for everyone to be successful.
There just needs to be one representative for the family.
Just look at Jin Ah’s family.
Her father worked for a large corporation, but that was in the past.
That Seung Ho is working on his doctorate at KAIST is that family’s point of honor right now.
That’s enough now.
If I had known it was going to be like this,
I should have tried to be friendlier with the first woman that Dad had married.
I had heard that she had relatives who were real estate chaebol.
What should I do for you?
Should I not meet Jin Ah Noona?
Is it that?
Go ahead and try it.
It’s hard for me, too.
It’s not because I’m thoughtless that I keep saying that things are okay.
If I had acted according to my temper, I would have already flipped everything over.
It’s because that won’t do that I can’t do it.
I’m like that as well.
Do you think it’s because I dislike Yoon Jin Ah?
No matter how much I try to be understanding, her family…
I just can’t accept them. That’s why.
Noona.
I know that this is an impossible favor I’m asking.
For my sake,
couldn’t you just tolerate it?
When I see you, it makes me crazier.
It makes me angrier.
I can understand when they say that it feels as if your chest is ripping apart.
Hurting like as if hell was ripping your flesh, I’ve come to know what that means.
Because I’m too ashamed to see you,
I’ve been dragging my heels.
I’ll go soon to see you.
I’m sorry, Kyung sun.
English translation by Subbing in the Rain
Oh. Hello.
Manager.
Yes?
There. There. What should we do?
I think there’s some big trouble.
What?
What big trouble?
Manager Kang and Manager Geum are…
What?
What are they doing?
What are you doing?
Why are you doing this?
That’s what I wanted to say!
You're really too much, Kang Se Young.
Do you even have a conscience?!
You, actually!
Pretending to be all righteous.
Ultimately, all you're doing is flapping your mouth, so how dare you?!
You little… really!
What?!
Hey!
Let go!
You guys! Why are you like this?!
You’re not even children, so why are you being like this?
At least, let us know the reason.
Fine.
I told the female employees
that in the sexual harassment issue, Yoon Jin Ah also has responsibility for it!
I said that it’s dangerous to get involved to take sides and pretend to be victims as well!
So what?!
Is that even something to say?
You won’t support your fellow woman colleague
but you’ll gather the younger staff around and scare them off as well?
You’re an evil bitch, do you know that?
Hey!!
Why!!
Really. Be quiet! You two.
So this is why earlier, you…
I’m sorry, Manager.
We were too scared.
We were told that if it was made public, that we would just end with just our suffering.
It would be the same as standing naked in front of people, and then we would be fired.
Who said that?!
Is that also the successful Manager Kang’s words?!
You guys are sure playing around.
Even keeping confidentiality, it would be hard, but this.
Are you sure that you’re thinking of my welfare?
So is this how you’re getting back at me?
If not, then you really are an evil bitch.
Whatever I try to do, if you stand behind me, you’ll be fine.
Please help me already.
It’s already hard for me.
They’re avoiding me directly now.
I heard about it.
Because I wanted to do something about this, I think I’ve given you too much baggage to handle.
It’s okay if you want to give up.
No.
I won’t force you.
No. I’m going to do it.
What do you expect to happen? There are some options.
An arbitration, a settlement as an apology, …
A disciplinary hearing where the charges are publicly disclosed.
Other than the perpetrator getting severely punished, there’s nothing else I want.
Jin Ah.
More than you’ve prepared for, it could get much worse than that.
Yes.
You might not be able to keep your current position either.
However, I will make you one promise.
I won’t let you be the only one to get hurt.
This doesn’t make any sense.
I mean, being dragged off to a karaoke room and forced to dance to the blues.
If that isn’t sexual harassment, then what is sexual harassment?
Is there a law against this or not?
It’s obvious.
Why didn’t she refuse more strenuously?
Didn’t she also have fun doing it?
They’re saying stuff like that.
Oh. Trash!
Huh?
Who is trash?
Don’t know.
Seo Joon Hee.
Yes?
Go as part of the business trip team, and just get the contract signed and then return.
At most, it will be one week.
You’ll really be fired.
Why?
What now?
Nothing.
You said you had something to say?
You talk first.
How is the office issue going?
Suddenly, why?
Just because it’s something that involves you.
Mmm…
It’ll probably start soon.
It’ll probably be okay?
It probably won’t be okay.
But what of it?
I can’t avoid it so I have to meet it head on.
But why are you suddenly asking me about that?
Does it have anything to do with what you wanted to talk about with me?
I have to go to China for about a week.
Oh. I wondered.
Don’t worry. Even without Seo Joon Hee-sshi, there are a lot of people on my side.
Then that’s a relief.
It’s going to be fine.
Yes.
You know…
Somehow seeing the mood you’re creating, you caused some trouble again.
I… am going to become independent.
I’m going to leave the house and live on my own.
I’m going to become a true goddess, a free goddess.
What’s the reason?
What reason is needed?
Amongst my peers, I’m actually doing it late.
Among my friends, there are hardly any who still live with their parents.
Who brought up the topic first?
Huh?
Did your family ask you to leave?
Well, leaving the house was something that we had been talking about for awhile,
and then after talking about it, some time ago...
Are you being chased out of the house?
Of course not.
It’s not all just because of you.
You’re saying that it's your parents.
No, it’s not.
Let’s go.
You said you had to go back to the office, didn’t you? I’ll just take the subway home.
No, it’s fine.
I’m fine, too.
Why are you being like that?
Just because.
It’s not just because.
It’s uncomfortable.
What is?
Why are you pretending to be fine?
You’re upset. Just be upset.
You can go ahead and just say, “Why is your family just so awful to people?"
You don’t have to hold it in.
Then will anything change?
Then don’t make it noticeable.
What do you want me to do?
The office, the family, and even you…
What is it that you want from me? What do I have to do?
I’m also a person.
Do you know how often I want to just act out according to my temper?
I’m sorry.
I was a little frustrated.
So,
I was being a jerk.
I’m sorry.
I said I was sorry.
Seo Joon Hee must really be an idiot.
I must be.
I’m still going to take the subway anyway.
I’ll take you home.
No, thanks.
Stop being mad.
What did you just say?
You’re chasing Jin Ah out?
If I see her any more,
I’m about to break the parent-child ties completely with her.
This person, really!
You haven’t done anything right, either.
What did you do so right?!
I’m dumbfounded.
What is it that I did wrong?!
Talk about it later.
No matter what, I haven’t done a single thing for myself!
It was all so that they can do well!
For trying to do my best for my children, I’m being punished severely!
I have something to say.
There’s only one thing I want to hear from you.
That you’re immediately...
I’m leaving.
Jin Ah!
I’m leaving,
but I need a little time.
I can’t live on the streets.
I have a lot of work.
As soon as I can arrange it, I’ll leave.
Are you perhaps,
using this as an opportunity to say
“Oh boy! Here’s my chance,” and with that jerk Joon Hee…
Are you chasing me out, and then worrying about where I’ll end up?
Hey!
From now on,
where Joon Hee and Kyung Sun are concerned, don’t even try to compliment them.
Mom doesn’t even have that right any more.
Dad is the same.
Just leave them alone.
And going forward, no matter how or with whom I live, it’s my matter and my problem.
“We’re parents,
so we can be like this,”
will not be accepted any more.
I absolutely won’t change my mind.
Dad, don’t object.
It’s true that I’m leaving because I fought with Mom,
but I think of this as an opportunity.
I want to be independent.
Alone,
I want to go into the world.
Toward this side, you see the park.
So, it’s very desirable.
If the deposit is increased a little bit, then will the rent come down some?
Well, here, it’s not possible.
Let’s go.
Why?
It’s too expensive?
Since it’s an empty place, it does look a bit run down.
But with new paint on the walls and your own furniture, it’s perfect for living by yourself.
And the rent is low as well.
If you go down half a staircase, it’s right there.
Excuse me,
I think we’ll be fine not going inside.
With the money that you’re thinking of, there really isn’t anything else.
You have to choose from one of the ones you’ve seen.
We’ll think about it a little more and get back in touch with you.
I’m sorry.
If you say that none of them will do, then what do you want me to do?
I only have so much money,
so even if it’s not exactly what I want, there’s nothing that can be done about that.
Don’t you think that I don’t want to live some place that is clean, safe, and with good parking?
If I start being picky about every little thing, then there will be nothing that I can get.
It’s just that I have to choose some place that fits my circumstances.
How can everything be exactly as I want it?
Let’s live together.
You’re crazy!
Ow. That hurts.
Even if it hurts, you deserve more.
To the man who asked you to live with him, all you could say is to call him crazy?
Yoon Jin Ah,
are you in your right mind? Huh?
What’s wrong with living together?
The problem is not with living together.
I talked big about being independent, and ultimately, I just go to my boyfriend’s and live with him?
If I were going to do it, then I might as well live at home, having it out with Mom all the time.
Still, how could say that to him?
Did Joon Hee-sshi not say anything to that?
He didn’t say anything.
He just dropped me off at home and left.
Yoon Jin Ah is going to be dumped soon. KRW 100,000.
What? Should I bet more?
It would only be like finding a big nail and helping my mother nail it in further.
Even if I said that I begged and pleaded to live together, my mom is not someone who would believe that.
It’s obvious that she’ll just harass Joon Hee more and give him an even harder time.
Do you think that Joon Hee-sshi wouldn’t already know that?
Why do you think he would even propose that?
Why wouldn’t I know how he feels? Of course, I know.
But just so that I can be comfortable and well, how can I receive that from him?
Also, it's okay about my family, but what about Kyung Sun?
Oh, absolutely not. No, no, no.
Then what will you do?
The rents for officetels are all too high, aren’t they?
For the immediate future, I could probably afford it,
but how long will I be able to do so?
I don’t even know how much longer I’m going to last in the office.
Is it because of the issue that’s happening now?
Even if it's not that,
how much longer will we be working at the office?
Maybe 10 years?
Even another 5 years is uncertain.
But that’s to be considered later.
For now,
if something happens to you because of that issue, then I really won’t just sit still for it.
If you’re not going to sit still, then what will you do?
Well,
along with Yoon Jin Ah,
I’ll be unemployed as well.
Oh, really.
Is love for a colleague the same as love of one’s country?
Oh, as colleagues.
Whatever you choose to do,
I will give my full support.
I’m very grateful.
Unemployment.
Geez.
Come in and sit down.
I pretty much heard about it from Vice President Jung.
Don’t you think that this will become too great an issue?
I’m not sure of what you are speaking about.
Well,
it’s just that there is the mood of the office to think about,
and not everyone is going to think the same way.
Taking everything into account, what do you think about taking care of it quietly?
The Vice President must not have told you everything.
I have said that I want a disciplinary hearing where the charges are publicly disclosed.
Can you really go through with that?
What about the CEO?
Legally speaking,
if a sexual harassment issue is uncovered in the workplace,
the executives have to put the assailants…
They’re legally called offenders.
Yes.
I wanted to call them assailants.
The assailants have to be put through a disciplinary committee or some equivalent judgement,
otherwise, there may be serious penalties and fines for the violations.
Depending on the company’s bylaws,
some of the details may be different,
but that it’s not being taken seriously as a major issue is frankly disappointing and worrying.
I’m hearing that as you won’t be satisfied with just being compensated with money.
While we’re meeting anyway,
what else do I need to know?
If the employee who makes the report is fired or disadvantaged,
the company will be faced with penalties or significant fines.
You two have really studied up on this.
Oh, okay.
Since I’m being hit from both sides, my mind is even hurting.
Since it seemed that the two of you just can’t seem to remember,
so I thought this would help you in writing your statements.
Oh, geez.
What are you doing?
Turn it off now!
What is…?
What is that?
Huh?
Without any warning?
This…
Jung Young In.
You.
What makes you mess around like this?
Just because I just let you have your way…
What?
I’m a really scary person.
Vice President,
I really feel this is unfair.
If I had any other intentions, I’ll just accept my punishment and die.
But I only did as Director Nam ordered me to.
What, you bastard?
- Hey!
- Oh, really. - Hey!
- Oh, really.
Did I tell you to touch Yoon Jin Ah’s butt?
You told me to set the mood!
How dare you use lower speech to me?!
If you wanted to hear polite speech, then you should have always done the right things!
I didn’t..
President! Vice President! I didn’t...
What is going on?
You are really a sight.
What are you thinking to do about the Yoon Jin Ah case?
Well, that is…
What did I…?
Oh, geez, I’m speechless.
That is…
actually…
huh?
It’s true that it’s something you did.
Yes.
Because this is something that the staff are already aware of,
the office has to respond to it.
It looks as if a fact-finding investigation is going to have to be started first...
What do you mean fact-finding?
I have nothing to be embarrassed about.
If you keep talking about revealing things or whatever, then…
uh...
then I’ll take legal action.
Whether it takes 1 or 2 years, that’s fine.
I also have fought during that time…that…
what is that…
honor.
I am a person with honor.
Come on in.
Because the truth has been twisted, don’t go to all sorts of extremes,
whether it’s a waffle or you're able to turn the situation to your advantage. Just do that.
Deputy Head Choi, go ahead and help him.
Yes, I understand.
Doing that…
there isn’t a need for that.
I can’t just sit back and watch this issue explode and make a mess at home as well.
I’m not just giving the Director a tip because you’re so desperate.
Oh, oh, oh. Come and sit.
You weren’t too surprised that I called suddenly, were you?
No, not at all.
This is what I think.
That Manager Kang came here, I’m very grateful for that.
And, now I want to talk frankly. Why I’m doing this is because,
Manager Kang, going forward, has to do well.
Right?
For getting ahead, this is an excellent chance for you.
Even at the director level, Director Nam is very senior. And as your supervisor,
if you do well, then it will be very beneficial to you….
Oh, so she was doing that, and then Manager Yoon did that.
That’s a little.
Oh, you were here.
I came to buy you something delicious to eat.
Okay.
So what about the conversation?
Right now, how dumbfounded and confused you must be. It’s not that I don’t know it.
The reason that I’m saying this right now is…
not just from the viewpoint of the company, but…
it’s because I’m worried about your future going forward…
Then if you can give me some time to consider.
Well, it would be best if you consider quickly.
Yes. I will.
And since I have another meeting,
I’ll consider it quickly and respond back to you.
But you haven’t even eaten.
No, I’ve eaten plenty. Thank you.
Well, you just suddenly… Well, you could eat more… Okay. Fine.
Director.
Have a drink.
It’s not just a little.
Who did you drink so much with?
You drank alone, didn’t you?
You should have called.
Were you so mad that you didn’t even want to call?
Joon Hee.
This is totally enough.
If only I have Seo Joon Hee, then I’m fine.
