(Cohabitation Contract)
What is this, Gyu Jin?
(Episode 25)
Mother.
I want water.
You're home.
(Cohabitation Contract)
I asked you what this is.
Mother...
This is...
Na Hee.
You tell me.
What's this cohabitation contract,
and why does it mention the finalization of a divorce?
What is this about?
Mother, it's... You see...
We got divorced, Mom.
What?
What did you just say?
Na Hee.
We're divorced.
We have been for some time.
Wait. Hold on.
What on earth are you talking about?
Why would you get a divorce?
Why would you end your marriage?
Why would you...
Why would you get a divorce?
- Why would you... - Mom, hold on.
- Why... - Calm down, Mom.
- Mother, please. - Why are you divorced?
- Right. - Get her a bag.
- Mom, are you all right? - Why?
What's this?
Why would auntie and uncle be divorced?
This is outrageous.
Tell me about it.
I can't believe people would start such vicious rumors.
A divorce?
That's insane. Right, Joon Seon?
What? Yes, exactly.
I heard about how nasty people could be online.
They're the worst, aren't they?
Unbelievable.
Shouldn't we report these people to the police?
Let's tell Aunt Na Hee.
No, don't. There's no need to.
But still...
(Na Hee)
Na Hee, things are bad...
Ga Hee, Mom just fainted.
We're on our way to the ER.
What?
Why? Why would Mom suddenly faint?
- What? - Mom fainted.
She fainted?
Na Hee? Mom!
- Mom? - Mom, are you all right?
- Mom... - The doctor gave her a sedative...
and she just went to sleep.
She was hyperventilating and convulsing.
It's why I told you to tell her.
I said it'll only shock her more if you drag this along.
Why don't you ever listen?
Joon Seon, keep it down.
We're sorry, Joon Seon.
You're just as responsible.
How can you let it get this far?
You know how much my mother adores you.
What a jerk.
You know, I withdrew this to pay this month's rent,
but take it first.
Joon Seon, there's no need...
I'll pay you back the rest as soon as I make the money.
- You borrowed money from him? - Yes.
How is that important right now though...
when Mom is in a hospital?
How did she find out?
I doubt she read the online comments.
Online comments?
I don't think she knows.
("Couple Doctors Yoon and Song Reel in the Ratings")
(Yoon and Song are actually divorced.)
What are you going to do? There are over 1,500 comments.
What should've stayed within the family...
is now known by the entire nation.
Meanwhile, you also stabbed Mom and Dad in the back.
So what are you going to do about this?
Say something? What will you do?
Joon Seon, keep it down.
Dad?
Father.
Dad.
Did either one of you cheat on the other?
- No. - No.
Was money involved then?
Did one of you guarantee someone's debt?
- That's not the case. - No, Father.
Then what?
Why did you get divorced?
You two had a good marriage,
so why did you suddenly decide to call it quits?
Irreconcilable differences.
What?
I thought it was stupid when people got divorced...
over irreconcilable differences.
Is that even an excuse?
People are born to be unique and different.
But...
now I understand how important it is.
If that is truly a major reason for divorce,
your mom and I would've gotten at least hundreds of them.
Compromising and sacrificing...
For how long?
It's been torture,
and I've been lonely and unhappy.
So, for how long must I endure it?
It's unbearable.
We're only torturing ourselves.
I'm sorry...
for disappointing you.
I'm truly sorry.
Father...
("Doctors" Director)
Mr. Yoon,
can I get you another beverage?
I'm good, so don't mind me and study.
Aren't you going home?
Well, I'm a little exhausted today,
so I'm waiting until my mom falls asleep.
Why? Am I bothering you?
No, of course not.
Actually, yes. You're bothering me quite a bit.
I can't focus on these questions.
Gosh, that's harsh. You're being too brutal now.
I won't let out a squeak, so go back to your studies.
Goodness.
What? Are you serious? That won't get you to the answer.
That...
Okay, got it. I'll shut up.
Ga Hee, what is it?
I'm at the cafe.
What? So what happened? Is Mom okay?
Sure thing. I'll be right there.
What's wrong? Is something up with your family?
Yes, Mom found out about Na Hee and Gyu Jin.
She fainted so they took her to the ER...
and now they're heading home.
I should get going.
Anyway, your mom will find out soon too.
I hear that someone wrote about it online.
I'll leave you to deal with her, okay?
What do you mean someone wrote about it online?
What the...
Da Hee, how about we close up early...
What are you doing here? Where's Da Hee?
Something urgent came up, so she left.
Something urgent? As in what?
You'll soon find out.
Mom, how's your blood pressure and heart?
Are they both fine?
Why are you suddenly asking about my health?
What is this about?
Mom, please sit.
Let's take a few deep breaths.
What's going on?
Just tell me. You know how impatient I am.
Mom,
Gyu Jin...
got divorced.
Divorced? When? When did it happen?
Mom,
please calm down and have a sip of this.
Let's be rational.
So when was it?
When exactly did you sign the papers?
It's been a little over a month.
What? A month?
Why?
For what reason?
Did you cheat on Na Hee or hit her?
No way. She'd never let anyone do that to her.
Don't tell me that she's been hitting you.
Mom, that's not it.
It just happened, all right? I'm sorry.
What did I tell you from the get-go?
I said that you weren't meant for each other.
Remember her reaction when I told you...
about the shaman who said Na Hee...
would swallow you whole?
"No one believes in such superstitions anymore, Mother."
This is what she does after making me look...
like an old-fashioned hag?
My son is now divorced because of her!
Mom, it's not just me. She's a divorcee too,
- so stop... - Shut it!
Do you really want to take her side even amidst all this, you moron?
I know you're upset, Mom,
but not as much as Gyu Jin and my sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law? They're divorced now!
You know what? This is for the best.
You're still young and you have your whole life ahead of you.
You can meet someone better.
Her family was never right for you anyway!
Mom, please...
Mom, Gyu Jin's divorce is still quite fresh.
It's too early to say those things.
Well, I'm that upset!
I blame myself for not disapproving hard enough.
Unbelievable. Are you kidding me?
Mom, I bet you want to lie down.
Shouldn't you eat something?
How about some porridge or ground-up rice?
They're practically the same thing.
How are they the same?
Porridge has chunks in them while ground-up rice doesn't.
Mom! Mom...
My goodness. Look at how pale you are.
Shouldn't you have stayed at the hospital?
Are you sure you're okay?
Your mom will be fine,
so leave the room and let her rest.
Sure.
Mom, get some rest.
Goodnight, Mom.
You three, come and have a seat.
When did you find out about it?
You knew about it, right?
When did you find out? Tell me.
I was the first one to know, Dad. I found it out two weeks ago.
And we heard it last week. About three days ago to be exact.
Is it four days?
Anyway, it's been less than a week.
We told Na Hee to tell the truth as soon as possible,
but she asked us to wait a little more.
Still,
how could you pretend not to know about it?
Do you still call yourselves her brother and sisters?
I'm sorry.
We were wrong, Dad.
It's my fault.
I found out about it first, but I was afraid to tell you.
I'm sorry.
How could you guys do this to me?
How could all four of you...
This is unbelievable.
You guys are just unbelievable.
Dad.
Dad...
This is crazy.
Is Ms. Choi all right?
The worst is over on our end. What about your family?
They are devastated.
What did Ms. Choi say?
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Yoon.
I was going to text you, but I just called you instead.
Is Ms. Jang's condition really bad?
I'm afraid so.
She's not saying anything.
What about Ms. Choi? She's furious, isn't she?
Of course. She is going on and on furiously.
She's cursing with words that I can't even dare to repeat.
Come to think of it, we're like enemies.
How did we end up like this?
I know.
And it's not just about Mom.
I'm worried more about tomorrow. I mean the hospital.
Oh, the comments. I can only imagine.
What are Na Hee and Gyu Jin going to do?
The hospital director is quite hot-tempered.
There will be a big fuss at the hospital.
What is this all about?
You should've told me about it sooner.
Look what you did to the hospital's reputation.
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm sorry.
I told you to promote our hospital, but you become the talk of the town.
Some are even calling it a publicity stunt.
Is that true? Is that what you intended?
No, it's not like that.
You should've been more patient.
Why couldn't you just get along?
I will take full responsibility and resign.
I will...
quit my job too.
What?
Then what?
As if we have anyone to replace you?
You can't just quit without any kind of plan.
How could you be so irresponsible?
Director Jang.
- Director Jang. - Gosh.
- Loosen your tie. - Just go away.
Are we done getting yelled at?
Who knows? There might be someone else.
How is Mother doing?
What about your mom?
She's enraged.
I knew she'd be like that,
but it's just too hard to deal with.
Let's just think it's the punishment we deserve.
We were expecting this to begin with.
She's so heartless.
So heartless.
("Couple doctors Song and Yoon revealed to be divorced")
The comments are so harsh.
This is way too much.
It was bound to happen.
There were even articles that said they had good chemistry.
People probably feel like they were fooled.
It's obviously tarnishing the hospital's image.
Dr. Yoon. You knew about it, didn't you?
Yes, I did. I'm an accomplice in this.
I aided and abetted their fraud.
So go ahead and criticize me too. I will take the heat about that.
Hey, we're not criticizing them.
We're just worried.
I know.
I don't know about Dr. Song, but I do feel bad for Dr. Yoon.
Honestly, he's probably the one who put up with Dr. Song.
Isn't it obvious?
It's so obvious. I can almost see it now.
You know Dr. Song has an aggressive personality.
I would never marry a woman as scary as her.
I'd rather kill myself.
She would nitpick at everything I do. Gosh.
Who said so?
Who said I put up with her?
Are you guys such good judges of character?
Are you mind-readers or what?
Don't shoot your mouth off when you don't know anything.
I'm the one who nags at home.
I'm a neat freak. I have mysophobia.
Did you not see that?
Darn.
Don't you dare say things like that again.
This is a warning.
- Song Na Hee speaking. - Hello, Dr. Song.
This is An Hyun Joon, a fellow at Sejin Hospital.
I'm calling to update you on Yo Han's surgery.
The surgery went well,
so we can start rehabilitation right away.
Really? I see.
Okay. Thank you.
We'd like to have him transferred. When is it convenient for you?
(Sejin Hospital)
Na Hee must be upset.
No wonder.
Hey.
You're not here to meet me, are you?
Well, not really.
Is it telepathy or what? I just wanted to come this way.
I wanted to thank you.
I heard Yo Han's surgery was successful.
Sure. Of course it was successful. I took care of it.
I know.
Are you all right?
- Here. - Thank you.
You're good at surprising people.
To be honest, I was shocked too.
I know.
It's harsher than I thought though.
My name is all over the internet.
What made you decide to appear on TV?
It must've felt uncomfortable to be on TV as a couple.
My parents didn't know about my divorce.
And when the casting offer came,
the hospital director practically forced us.
If I knew it would cause so much trouble to the show,
I would've refused the offer.
People would say malicious comments were a social issue,
but I didn't care about it all that much.
But now that it's happening to me,
I find it hard to deal with even when I'm quite bold.
I understand people calling us a pair of tricksters.
But they even tell us to quit our jobs and kill ourselves.
I'm not sure if I did something that bad.
Don't trouble yourself.
They just want something to gossip about.
Apparently, I'm called the Icy-Cold Witch online.
It sounds about right.
That's a good nickname.
You know what?
Ice begins to melt as soon as the temperature rises by one degree.
You seem to get hurt more easily than you look.
Am I wrong?
I don't know.
I'm not even sure about myself.
I can tell what you're like.
Let's go. I have afternoon appointments.
Make sure to get the data from Dr. An on your way back.
We took the biopsy and there wasn't any sign of metastasis.
Thank you. I'll see you later.
My pleasure.
Bye.
Yes, Mom.
Don't you dare talk to me like that.
I'm the one who should be giving you a deep sigh.
Why are you calling me? What do you want?
When will you sell the apartment?
Will you go on living with her?
We notified the real estate agent...
Let me deal with it, Mom.
What can you deal with?
Shall I call an agent I know? If I offer more commission money...
Mom, I'll deal with it.
I want to sort out some other issues first.
Why do something that needs sorting out? Hang up!
Why does she keep...
- Hi, Bo Young. - Gyu Jin.
Can you talk?
Yes, well... I'm free.
I wasn't sure whether to call or not but I was worried.
Are you all right?
You were surprised, weren't you?
Things just happened.
I finally understood what you said last time.
It must've been tough for you. Even more so now.
Well, it's fine. It'll pass.
Well...
I have to deal with it. It's my fault.
Okay.
Call me whenever you need me.
Whether it's food or coffee, I'll buy you anything.
Okay.
Thanks for calling.
Cheer up.
Take care. Bye.
(Closed today for personal reasons!)
The darn brats never let us have a day of peace.
How could Na Hee do this to us as well?
We got stabbed in the back by the person we trusted the most.
Are you going home? Hop on.
You go ahead. I'll get some groceries.
I don't think Lady Luck cares much for that family.
She was so excited that her daughter and son-in-law were on TV,
she even threw a party and celebrated.
How did that daughter end up divorced in just two days?
Exactly. You get sick if you eat too much at a party.
She celebrated way too much.
She was down for a while after her youngest got an annulment.
She was so haughty about the TV show.
At this rate, shouldn't she get in the Guinness Book of World Records?
It's rare for 100 percent of your kids to be divorced.
"The youngest got an annulment!"
That's what Ok Boon would've said if she heard.
Sorry.
What was that? Did he do that on purpose?
What? He couldn't have.
The fishcake needs to cool.
- Cho Yeon! - My gosh.
Cho Yeon! Cho Yeon, Cho Yeon.
She heard gossip.
Why do you dress weirder and weirder each day?
What is it?
The second daughter of the president who runs the fried chicken place.
She came on his birthday...
and signed autographs and acted over the top.
- Yes. - What about her?
That daughter and her husband got divorced.
Over a month ago!
What? For real?
What are you saying?
They went on TV and said they were married?
Yes, but the president and his wife found out just now.
His wife lost her mind and passed out, causing a fuss.
The fried chicken joint is closed today.
My goodness. How did that happen?
- She adored those two. - Yes.
Aren't her older son and daughter divorced and living at home too?
Yes. Everyone in the market gathered around...
to talk about that family.
Everyone is whispering and gossiping.
It's no joke.
Too bad.
The president must be really upset.
Stop doing that. How can you focus?
Give it back. My problems should be kept separate from work.
I have to update that today.
I'll do it. Leave it to me.
I have to notify everyone...
that the recycling truck will be coming at a different time now.
I'll do that as well. Leave it. You just chat with me.
How's your wife?
Shouldn't you be at home?
I left because I thought I'd only be in the way.
She's better off alone.
I guess nothing can comfort her now.
She wouldn't want to hear anything.
It's so devastating. Even I feel brokenhearted.
How could all four of them do this to their parents?
I know.
I must've wronged all four of them in my past life.
Yes. Think of it that way and let it go.
Don't feel wronged or guilty.
Aren't you going to the kimbap place today?
I may be head over heels in love,
but how can I leave a friend in distress?
I'm not that disloyal.
What do you think of me?
Thanks a lot. I feel so touched I could cry.
Right? Aren't I the best friend?
A man puts loyalty before love, okay?
Loyalty.
My gosh.
(Unnie's Kimbap)
I wish I could see Cho Yeon's face just once.
No. No.
My friend is moping because of his daughter,
and I came here to see my love?
This is wrong.
Yang Chi Su, you're a man and this is not how you live.
What's wrong with just seeing her face?
It's not like I'll get sweet with her...
or do anything untoward.
Why not? Why not?
Don't make excuses.
If you go inside, you're a traitor.
You're a jerk.
Darn it.
Sweep up outside your door!
It's so dirty I can't stand it!
Look at all this! You have no conscience!
What...
- What? - What's so dirty?
It's way too clean.
Mom, Joon Seon bought your favorite cream buns.
Have a bite, will you?
Yes, Mom. Eat a little, for my sake for going to get these.
You haven't eaten all day.
Mom, this is really upsetting.
She didn't starve when we got divorced.
Mom, this is discrimination too.
It is.
You say you love every child the same,
but you ate after our divorces and can't after Na Hee's?
Now I'm upset.
- You must eat... - My gosh!
Get out of here. Get out! Out!
Mom.
- Sleep, then. - We'll leave.
- Auntie. - Hi, Auntie.
How's your mom? Did she eat something?
No. She just turned these down.
She can't eat something that dry.
I'll make abalone porridge. You can have some too.
What is Dad up to? Is he with Mr. Yang?
No. I think they parted ways.
Then where is he?
Is he alone in the store?
My afternoon appointments were canceled?
- All of them? - Yes. There was one left,
but the kid went to stay with the mom's parents.
The mom just called to reschedule the appointment for next week.
Okay.
I get it. You can go.
- Yes, doctor. - Go.
My gosh. This is not fair.
(Father-in-law)
Hello, Father.
Can you...
really not get back together?
Father.
All married couples...
experience a crisis or two.
If you try to be a bit more understanding...
and get over that,
everything else will come easier.
This I can guarantee as a man who has lived more years.
Isn't it possible?
Even...
when I'm here...
asking you for another chance?
Father,
since I was a kid,
my mom was a handful.
Actually,
if I'm being honest, I hated her.
Unlike other moms,
she was always emotional...
and got frustrated easily.
But she's my mom, right?
We're related by blood, no matter how I feel.
It's how I learned to accept her for who she is.
But I don't think it's the same for married couples.
When things clash and we go off track,
it's almost impossible to recover.
We haven't laughed...
with one another for a while now.
We live under the same roof,
but we don't share a single laugh.
No silly jokes are said between us either.
We only talk when we argue.
I'm truly sorry, Father.
I couldn't keep the promise I made at the altar.
I'm terribly sorry.
I'll be in touch. Sure thing.
(Episode 26)
Why is she thrilled about my son being divorced?
They just love seeing others unhappy, don't they?
Jerks.
Excuse me, Ms. Choi.
I have something to tell you.
Go ahead although I think I know what you're going to say.
I'm guessing I should look for another place to work.
You won't be comfortable seeing me anyway,
and I don't want to walk on eggshells around you.
Quitting is probably for the best.
Right.
I can't disagree with you, I guess.
Should I work until the end of the shift...
or stay until you hire someone else?
It's fine. You should get going.
I'll find your replacement myself.
Then let me stay until the end of business today.
I said it's fine.
I doubt I'll have any more customers anyway.
Right.
I'm truly sorry about this.
What are you sorry for and why?
It's not like you did anything wrong.
Still...
I feel horrible, you know.
I feel bad for Na Hee and Gyu Jin...
and I hate that we're ending our relationship like this too.
I don't know how you felt,
but I loved working here with you.
Ms. Choi, don't drink too much of the wine today,
and please don't skip your meals no matter how upset you are.
Thank you for everything.
How can two sisters be this different?
Half of each sister would make the perfect woman.
Where do I find a part-timer as decent as Da Hee?
It'll take her some time to find my replacement.
Gosh.
Ms. Song!
Mr. Yoon.
So that happened.
You had to quit your job too.
Yes, this happened in the end.
I guess we're not officially in-laws anymore.
What should I call you when I meet you on the streets now?
Na Hee's my former sister-in-law, so are you my "ex in-law" too?
Just call me Da Hee.
Mr. Yoon,
you're older than me, right?
Then will you call me...
by my name as well?
No, I don't think...
I'll be able to do that.
I don't think I'll be able...
to call you by your name either.
Let's not call each other anything then.
"Hi, it's been a while."
We'll keep it like that.
Sure. We'll leave out the names.
Can you believe the things these so-called grown-ups are doing?
They fell in love, got married,
and brought us together to make this one big family.
Just how many people are affected by this?
Irresponsible jerks.
That's because one's love for another changes.
I've been there, remember?
My sisters and brother have all experienced it.
Still,
let's stay in touch, okay?
It's a shame to let this friendship go to waste.
Keep up your studies...
and work hard on changing your personality.
Here.
I'm sorry you have to experience this sour mood again.
Bombs keep going off, don't they?
It's all right.
You and I were a bomb three years ago too.
Na Hee, are you just getting home? Your work must've ended late.
It's all right. Please go back to your meal.
Where's Mom?
Na Hee, you're here.
Your mom looks like death in there.
I gave her some abalone porridge to eat,
but she wouldn't open her mouth.
Why don't you try and get her to eat some?
Would she take the food served by the one who caused this?
Mom,
it's me.
I heard you didn't eat anything today.
Can you please have some of the porridge?
Just hate me all you want.
Don't hurt yourself by skipping meals.
Mom...
You!
How dare you.
How dare you do this to me!
The others might be clueless, but you know how I feel.
The divorce itself is just as bad,
but how could you hide it from me like this?
Do you even respect me as your mother?
Do you look down on us...
because we sell fried chicken at the market?
Mom, that's ridiculous and you know it.
How is it ridiculous?
Then why would you do this to me?
I don't want to see your face, so get out.
I can't be bothered, so leave.
Get out!
I told you to leave.
- Mom? - Get out!
Mom, don't. You hardly have the energy.
Just get out of here.
Ok Boon, please calm down. Just breathe.
Ok Ja,
just get her away from me.
- Tell her to leave. - Yes, of course.
- Ga Hee, take her. - Sure.
Na Hee, come on. Let's go outside.
Mom...
Joon Seon, just go.
My gosh.
Ok Boon, just like down, okay?
Don't waste any more of your energy.
Ok Boon, lie down.
I'm home.
What's going on? What happened?
Serves you right for waltzing in there.
Would Mom want to even look at you...
after what you did?
You're a sinner, you know. You wronged her.
I know I wronged her,
- so stop it. - Stop what?
Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do?
What gives you the right?
Those who wronged others...
should be too mortified to say even a word.
Who are you to stand tall in front of us?
Joon Seon, stop.
- Keep it down. - Joon Seon,
let's get some fresh air.
Let go of me.
You don't even know what you did wrong, do you?
You have no idea have much you've hurt...
this family and our parents.
I know. I know it all too well.
It's killing me too, you know.
If you did know, you wouldn't be talking back to me!
Joon Seon, please.
What should I do then?
Should I get on my knees and await her punishment?
Is that what you want me to do?
What about you then? What makes you such a good son?
You drove a nail in Mom's heart too.
You have no right to yell at me!
Hold on. Why would you bring that up?
- What do you think you're doing? - My gosh!
- Dad? - Dad...
- Goodness. - Dad, that's not it.
Na Hee, this brat, went in to see Mom when she...
Shut it!
You've got to be kidding me.
Even the most stupid ones...
would think twice before raising their voices here.
Unbelievable.
Get out. All of you, leave!
- But Dad... - I don't want to see any of you.
- Dad, we're sorry. - Get lost!
Go!
We don't need any one of you, so get lost!
My gosh.
This is on you and that temper of yours.
Look what you did to us.
How is this my fault? It's Na Hee's fault.
Stop it already!
I can't believe you're still arguing.
All right, fine. There's no need to yell.
I'm sorry about this.
We keep showing you the worst side of us.
So what now?
I don't think we can go back inside any time soon.
How about the rooftop then?
Hold on, 3 are already up there and there are 4 of us.
That makes seven total.
I guess there's room for us to all stand around.
Follow me.
We'll take this chance to do some sibling bonding.
Where are we off to?
Are you ignoring my suggestion again?
I'll tell Mom and Dad... Hey, wait for me.
I feel bad for our mother, you know.
She worked her whole life to raise us well,
but 3 got divorced and 1 got an annulment.
It's not common for a parent.
Call me the original sinner, guys.
I'm the one who kicked things off.
Don't be like that. I'm the worst out of us four.
I hit the wound you left behind which made it hurt even more.
No way. My annulment was the final straw.
Mom was finally moving on but I open up old wounds again.
Na Hee only hid her divorce because of what I did.
Because Mom was still recovering.
Don't be so annoying. This isn't your fault at all.
My punch was probably the one that hurt the most.
I stabbed her in the back, didn't I?
I'm glad you know.
Na Hee,
let me give you some sincere advice.
You have too much conviction in your own decisions.
Your thoughts and choices could be just as wrong, you know.
When you make big decisions,
seek advice from your siblings...
and those around you.
There's a reason why...
people say things that you don't want to hear.
Humbly let hurtful advice sink in...
and be open to other opinions. Don't you agree?
Isn't she the lady doctor from "Doctors"?
The one that got divorced.
She is.
Even I wouldn't be able to stay married to her.
A woman who stomps all over men...
- What did you just say? - Joon Seon!
She wouldn't even marry a punk like you,
so who are you to talk smack about my sister?
- Joon Seon, stop. - Gosh, we're sorry.
We're just in a terrible mood, you see.
Stop it.
Aren't we entitled to free speech?
Like sister, like brother. What a family of thugs.
What?
- What did you just say? A thug? - Ga Hee, please.
Who are you to say that about my siblings?
I'm the thug in the family, you know.
Want a taste of this?
Ga Hee, not you too.
Na Hee, please.
Just punch him, Ga Hee.
I'll take care of the rest, so do as you wish.
Did you hear that? My sister gave me the go-ahead.
You're dead meat today.
She's notorious for knocking out people's teeth.
Ga Hee, no.
- What the... - Ga Hee, please don't.
- Don't do this. - Get over here.
I dare you to say it again!
Why aren't you sleeping?
Is it still keeping you up?
Ok Boon,
let me get you a glass of water.
Honey.
Right, of course.
I know how you feel.
I don't think I have it in me this time...
to share words of wisdom like I normally do.
What can we do though?
It's not like we can do anything to get them back together.
Honey...
Let's just think of this as our fate.
I mean, what else can we do?
Honey, why is it always me?
Why only our children?
I had no idea...
that Na Hee of all people would betray us like this.
This is so unfair. What did I do to deserve this?
What am I supposed to do now?
Honey, I don't know if I can keep going.
My gosh.
Honey...
That's it. Let all the tears flow.
Think of this as the last day you'll cry.
And tomorrow, we'll close up the store for a day...
and get some fresh air.
I'll buy you crab, your favorite.
That's it.
Let it all out.
Oh, dear.
Dad, you're up early.
We spent a long time...
serving out our punishment outside last night.
I didn't ask.
Well... In case you're wondering.
Where's Mom? Is she still asleep?
She left home.
What?
Your mom ran away from home.
What? She ran away?
What now? What's wrong?
Mom is gone.
What?
Mom ran away from home. When Dad woke up, she was gone.
Hey, wait. I'll drive you there. You can't go there without the car.
Forget it. It has nothing to do with you now.
I see. So she's not there?
Yes. Her phone is turned off.
Yes.
If you get a call from my mom,
could you please let us know?
Yes. Thank you. Bye.
She's not at the playground.
What about the park near the community center?
She's not there. I looked there already.
Gosh, where did she go without saying anything?
Let's look for her a little more. Follow me.
(Mapo Seolleongtang)
She's not at Ms. Yeong Sun's either.
And Mom didn't call her.
It's the weekend, so their store isn't even open yet.
I have no idea where she is.
Hang on, Ga Hee.
Aren't you even worried?
How can you be frying chicken now? I'm worried sick about her.
We still have to work.
We can't make a habit of randomly closing a small store like ours.
Don't worry, Ok Ja.
I'm sure she will come back after getting some air.
It's not her first time to run away like this.
Back when Da Hee caused trouble, she came back after half a day.
Things are not the same now. This is a lot more serious.
Both you and I know what Na Hee means to her.
Na Hee was her only pride when people gossiped at the market.
"I still have my Na Hee."
That's how she held out.
She must be devastated now.
Ok Boon, where are you now? Ok Boon.
Young Dal, do you think...
Hey, that's enough. Stop crying, Ok Ja.
I just have bad feelings about this, Young Dal.
Why don't you call her again?
Ok Boon is practically like a mother to me.
I can't live without her.
Ok Boon, where are you now?
Ok Boon.
Gosh, where on earth did she go?
Wasn't that hilarious?
Gosh this is so pretty.
Mom.
Where are you going?
I'll be in my room.
Where's Na Hee? Is she still on Ganghwa Island?
No. She said she left.
I guess she's on her way home.
This won't do. I will go to the police...
and report her missing.
I don't feel good about this. I'm worried.
What are you talking about?
It's been less than a day. We should wait a little more.
For how long?
What if something happens to her while we wait?
What will you do then?
I can't wait any longer.
You go ahead and wait for her calmly.
- Gosh. - That punk.
Mom?
Mom. Mom!
Mom, where have you been? I've been worried about you.
Why are you being like this? Get off me. I can't breathe.
I thought you jumped into the river or something.
I was on my way to the police to report your missing.
I don't want you to worry me like that ever again.
Promise me, okay?
So where have you been?
It's not like you know all places.
I don't know. I don't care.
I'm just glad that you're safe.
Don't be silly. Why are you whining like that?
- Mom. - Mom!
Mom, we've been worried sick about you.
We called all your friends.
Na Hee even went to Ms. Yeong Sun's restaurant.
Thank you so much for coming back safe and sound, Mom.
- Mom. - Mom.
Gosh, get off me. Don't overreact.
You're back.
Yes, I'm back.
Good. Go get some rest then.
You must be tired from walking around all day.
Mom, did you eat anything?
Do you want some abalone porridge?
Heat up some porridge. I doubt she ate anything.
- I'll go heat it up. - Let me help you.
So where did you go today?
I wanted to go with you, but you left me out.
The beach on Ganghwa Island. Na Hee took me there before.
You went quite a long way.
I bet you liked it a lot.
It was nice that day.
But now that I think of it,
she took me there because she wanted to tell me something.
She wanted to tell me the truth.
Are you tired?
Yes, I'm tired. I'll get some sleep.
Go ahead and sleep.
Sleep well.
So where did she go, Dad?
Who did she meet?
You don't have to know everything. She's back and that's that.
I still want to know.
Is she asleep?
She wants to sleep. Don't bother her.
Is she sleeping? I heated up the porridge.
Save it for later.
I'm going to the merchant association office.
Don't wake her up. Okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
- See you. - Bye.
Really? Is she asleep now?
Where has she been?
Okay.
Ga Hee, take good care of her.
All right. Okay. Bye.
Hello, Na Hee.
Hyun Gyung, where are you?
I just finished work. I had a make-up lesson to do.
I haven't eaten all day.
Will you eat with me?
Go ahead and eat. You must be hungry.
I'm sorry, Hyun Gyung. I know you should go home.
I called home already. Seo Jin is asleep.
Seo Young takes good care of her.
Why aren't you asking anything?
You must've heard the whole thing.
I want to let you eat first.
Does that sound too much like a mom?
You'll get sick if you do that.
Do just one thing. Eat or cry.
Good for you.
Cry first, then eat.
If you eat then cry, you'll get hungry again.
Bear with it.
You have no other choice.
You made the decision.
It was my decision,
so I can deal with my pain.
But the pain that my decision caused Mom and Dad...
That's too hard to bear.
Time is...
Time is too slow.
How delicious.
It's full of red bean from head to tail.
- Mr. Song! - My goodness.
What were you thinking about...
that you didn't even see me coming?
Were you out somewhere?
Yes, taking care of things at the office.
What about you?
I took out the trash...
and the fish-shaped bun lady gave me some leftovers.
- Do you want one? - No. I don't feel well.
Something must be bothering you.
Goodbye, then.
Go on ahead.
Mr. Song.
Do you have a few dollar bills?
Dollar bills?
How many?
This is the best when you're upset.
Sing a few songs like crazy and you'll feel better.
It's just a temporary measure,
but it's 4 songs for a dollar, so let's just sing 4.
I'll be in the booth way over there.
Don't worry about my overhearing you.
Here you go.
No, I... Ma'am.
- Where is it? - Over there.
I look around, wondering what to do
But all I see are people with their backs to me
Let's all go
To the East Sea
Who is throwing rocks and bruising me?
Who is it?
Who is making my poor heart cry?
- Who is it? - To the East Sea
Why are you filling your own glass?
It's fine.
I'm used to pouring,
but not to others pouring for me.
How do you feel?
Didn't the shouting make you feel better?
Well, I guess it worked a bit.
You should eat as well.
If you just drink, you'll be too sick to work tomorrow.
- Here. Eat this. - Thanks.
The fish-shaped bun lady said...
she uses the same batter...
and same red beans to make them,
but some cook well and some burn.
She's never completely pleased.
Even buns from the same batch are like that.
Kids from the same parents would be like that too.
You never get your way with them.
Don't be too upset.
Everyone is talking about our family, right?
I can't deny that.
But it's so strange.
Why is it so exciting to talk about someone else's misfortunes?
It can't be because we're all bad people, right?
It's because it's not their problem.
I don't have any kids,
so I don't know half of what you're going through.
But when I'm upset,
I think of the worst outcome.
I could fall down a manhole and break a leg,
or I could die alone in my room without anyone knowing,
and my body would rot away.
Why would you think of such dreadful things?
Compared to those situations, the rest is nothing.
So what if your kids are divorced?
Pretend they were never married.
Isn't it better than them dying of something dreadful?
Maybe.
I'm okay, but my wife is half-dead.
You're not okay either.
Don't pretend to be okay.
Your heart will suffer.
Vent it by singing,
or by drinking, and don't keep it inside.
Then start again tomorrow.
What's more to life?
You sound like you lived longer than I have.
I tried to lecture someone older, didn't I?
Sorry.
(Mr. Song Young Dal)
Yes, Dad.
Dad.
You're here.
You drink instant coffee, right?
You can talk, Dad.
Drink before it gets cold.
Just talk.
You called me to say something.
You should...
come home.
What?
Pack up and move back home.
(Once Again)
I'm moving back home. Dad told me to.
Yoon Gyu Jin.
It must've been tough living with me.
I was sorry.
And thank you.
Let's eat out as a family.
You won't go back on your word, will you?
Keep trying to get close to her.
That's all you can do now.
Let go. You're being a nuisance.
Na Hee must feel so embarrassed.
Mom doesn't even answer.
Should we help them make amends?
What's that?
My gosh. Isn't that Mom?
