(Episode 113)
Hey, get today's young radishes. They're good.
I'm not here for them.
- What is it? - Is your daughter-in-law back?
Yes. How did you know?
She bought all kinds of cosmetic products on credit at my store.
- Is that so? - I told her we don't do that,
but she rather yelled at me, saying she's Oh Bok's mother,
so I couldn't ask her to pay.
Really? How much was it?
- I'll pay. - It's 73.5 dollars, but just give me 73.
I'll pay you the whole price, 73.5 dollars.
You don't have to give me a discount.
Here you are.
I'm sorry.
Well, I thought I'd never get paid.
I'll come to buy the radishes later. Thank you.
You're welcome.
It seems like Mi Ja doesn't have money.
Then she shouldn't have bought anything.
Why would she buy something when she's broke?
Women feel nervous when their makeup products run out.
She has no one to impress. Why did she spend money on them?
Why did you insist on coming?
I want to see where my son lives.
You can't come unannounced like this.
I called you.
Are you embarrassed by me?
Why are you so haughty and cautious around them?
Do your in-laws make you uncomfortable?
I'm so embarrassed by you.
- You're embarrassed by me? - So please just leave.
Oh Bok, you shouldn't be embarrassed by your parents.
- Mother raised you wrong. - Grandma...
doesn't have much, but she always had high self-esteem.
She's a refined person who never crossed a line or offended anyone.
Why did you buy cosmetics on credit?
I didn't have cash.
- Why didn't you pay with a credit card? - I don't have any credit cards.
If I had, I wouldn't have bought them on credit.
Then you shouldn't have bought them at all.
I can starve, but I need cosmetics.
Mom.
Do you think you're beautiful?
Nobody has picked on me for my looks.
When you said you'd come back for me with a lot of money,
- it was a lie, wasn't it? - No.
I wasn't lying.
I was going to find you when I make a lot of money.
Back then,
I still had feelings left for your dad.
What?
I was going to invite you next week, so when you called me, I panicked.
I thought we should have a meal.
It doesn't have to be an invitation.
It'd only make the people who invite and get invited feel burdened.
- Is that so? - I was just wondering how my son lives.
Mother, the room over here is our room.
- Do you want to take a look? - She doesn't need to see that.
Stay there.
Still, I should look at my son's room.
Do you two use this room?
When your baby is born, you won't have room to bathe it.
They don't have to bathe the baby in the room.
- It'd be my job anyway. - He's with his in-laws...
- like he's a farmhand. - What do you mean?
Now, mothers-in-law mistreat their sons-in-law like their own sons.
Sons-in-law were considered important guests back in the day.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Gong.
If you wait for a little, dinner will be ready soon.
I'm sorry for the trouble, Mother.
It's okay. Dinner is almost ready.
Da Jung, are you just going to watch your mother setting the table?
You're right.
Her morning sickness got worse, so she can't stand the smell.
As a daughter-in-law, she should at least pretend to set the table for me.
How can you be looking at me only?
I'm sorry.
Mom, I'll help you.
No way. What if you retch more?
She's not the only one who goes through that.
Who has a baby without having morning sickness?
Didn't women use to set the table for their mothers-in-law...
despite morning sickness?
You can't play sick in front of me with your morning sickness.
I never imagined you'd do that.
Oh Bok, bring Wan Soo from school.
Okay, Mother.
You talk down to your son-in-law and make him run errands.
How fun.
You must be close to her.
You're here. I'm sorry. Something urgent came up at work.
I hope you're not starved because of me.
It's okay. Now, we can eat.
Have a seat.
Why is she saying that like it's her house?
What a rude lady.
I'll eat later. I'm not feeling well.
Okay. Get some rest in your room.
Da Jung.
You should stay at the table and help me with what I need.
You can't rest in your room.
Young people are ill-mannered these days.
We should let her rest when she wants.
Otherwise, she'd throw up at the table, which would distract us from eating.
She'd throw up?
Why don't you pick a more delicate word?
It's okay.
You're quite hilarious. I like a good sense of humor.
- Koreans lack a sense of humor, right? - Yes.
Actually, I came to see you here today...
to give you good news.
I see.
It's great news.
What is that news?
We've built a good insurance plan for those who are over 40.
An insurance plan?
Not many people know about this plan.
I'm selling these plans with a great sense of duty.
Homo hundred.
You must get this plan for your peaceful, comfortable later years.
Take a look and get the word out if you like the plan.
Get up. Stand up before Grandma scolds you.
What are you doing? You're interrupting my work.
Are you out of your mind?
What do you think you're doing?
We haven't even eaten. How could you drag me out here?
How can you ask my in-laws to buy insurance?
I even bought my makeup on credit. I should sell the plan to anyone.
Why are you humiliating me after all this time?
Humiliate you?
This is not humiliating.
It's my job.
It's humiliating because I feel that way.
- Okay? - You've got nothing.
Why do you keep saying you're embarrassed?
That's not a good habit.
You should break the habit sooner than later.
- What? - You have to work on your mindset.
The old lady did a terrible job raising you.
- Where do you think you're going? - I should get my purse.
Seriously.
- Why are you home? - What is wrong with you?
Why do you ask everyone in the neighborhood to buy insurance?
I was working.
Then why did you mention Oh Bok's father-in-law?
That's what in-laws are for.
What?
How could you trouble your in-laws?
- You can't make a living if you're picky. - What did you do for Oh Bok?
Why did you show up only to embarrass him after all these years?
You're worried sick about me embarrassing you.
I guess that means your life is going well.
- I'm not embarrassing you for fun. - What?
People keep calling me all day to see if Wan Soo really bought the insurance...
and if she's actually our in-law.
- Where are you going? - I'm going to my house for a moment.
Stay here, Da Jung.
You left me like I was a burden. Why are you embarrassing the family now?
That's what families do.
Do you think I'm joking?
I wanted to earn money and then come to get you.
But your father made it impossible for me to trust him.
- So, you ran away? - I'm a victim too!
He started to hit me.
Your father said he hit me out of love.
- What? - I thought he would beat me to death!
So, that's why I ran away.
How could I bring you into that situation?
Do you really not know where Dad is?
I do know.
He's still my husband.
How could I not know if he's alive?
He's not human.
What? He hit her out of love?
He hit his wife and said it was out of love?
Such people need to be wiped out from this world.
Oh Bok, look at me.
Calm down. What about the baby and me?
Calm down.
Oh Bok.
Where are you going at this hour?
Mother, I'm very sorry.
I'm innately unfit as Da Jung's husband.
Oh Bok.
I was wondering...
what kind of people would leave their kid with their mother...
and never even see or contact their son into adulthood.
I imagined they weren't living good lives,
but it's a lot worse than I thought.
So, where are you going?
I'm going to see my dad face to face.
Do you know where he is?
Let's go together.
I'm so embarrassed because I don't know what state he's in.
Why would you be embarrassed about anything around me?
I'm just going to go see him alone.
I need to go see this man...
who said he hit his wife out of love.
What?
Hit his wife out of love?
Then, go with Yong Goo.
Take Yong Goo with you.
I don't think you should go alone.
How long are you going to stay around here?
I'll go when I have somewhere to go.
Where is Dad?
Are you going to go there now?
Do you know where he is? Where is he?
- I need to go now. Where is he? - Just...
let Oh Bok go.
- You should stay at home. - Why?
Is there some reason I can't see him?
What is he doing, and where is he?
I'll take Yong Goo and Oh Bok.
That would be great.
Mang Soon, you can go next time.
Just wait a minute. I'll get changed.
Where is he?
Is this it?
Is this the right place?
Seeing as there are shoes here, I think he's home.
I'll wait here.
Did you come from the social welfare center with lunch boxes?
Why are you bringing me lunch boxes at this hour?
Brother.
Yong Goo?
Brother, it's me, Yong Goo.
Do you recognize me?
Yong Goo.
Brother.
Yong Goo.
How did you know where to find me?
Brother, this is Oh Bok.
Oh Bok?
Oh Bok!
Are you really Oh Bok?
Oh Bok!
How long are you going to stay with me?
I don't have anywhere else to go.
Are you going to stay with me even after getting married?
If I have to, I will.
You don't have to.
- You don't like me. - I don't dislike you.
Thanks to you, I've learned this much,
and I'm living as I am. I'm thankful for that.
But...
Gyung Soo said he doesn't have time left.
I don't know what he means.
I guess he set his mind to it.
He's leaving for Young Shin.
For Young Shin?
At first, I thought he'd go with her,
but after meeting Young Shin, I don't think that's the case.
He probably...
thinks he's a burden to her...
and is trying to leave her.
I guess it could be that.
I guess he wants to live for her.
He's uneducated and doesn't have anything,
so how's he going to make a living if he leaves this place?
Does he really love Young Shin that much?
Are you upset that he's leaving you?
What have I done to deserve to be upset about that?
I'll stay by your side until the end.
I hope everyone had a good day. It isn't much, but please enjoy it.
Spicy yukgaejang. We're sweating it out with hot food.
I like it. Thank you for the meal.
Yes, eat as much as you want, Mrs. Gong.
How is this...
so perfect for my taste?
Se Jin, enjoy the meal.
Yes, thank you.
I have something to tell you today.
I don't think I can open the Diner anymore.
What do you mean?
Something came up. I'll tell you everything with time.
So, are you saying that you're closing the Diner?
I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to go ahead and rest.
Excuse me.
Is he closing the Diner? What's going on?
Is something wrong?
He wouldn't say that if not.
What's going on so suddenly?
Have you heard about this?
No, I hear for the first time too.
Should we call Young Shin?
What's happened all of a sudden?
What? He said he's closing the Diner?
What do you mean?
You probably misheard him. Why would he close the Diner?
Okay, goodbye.
Gyung Soo said he's closing the Diner?
I don't know what they're talking about.
Do you think he's going to work somewhere else?
Young Shin, let's talk for a minute.
Mr. Jung said he doesn't have time left?
It feels very ominous.
Why would he close the Diner?
Mrs. Choi also told me that he looks like he's trying to leave somewhere.
He said he wanted to put the Diner's lease under her name.
Then, there's definitely something going on.
I feel like he's trying to go somewhere to leave me.
Since I'm staying around him,
do you think he's trying to go somewhere where I can't find him?
I don't think that's it.
What did you want to see me about?
- Do you want something to drink? - I already had a lot.
Why are you closing the Diner?
How did things go when you visited President Kang's house?
I think it went well,
but I'm not sure what Young Shin thinks.
Jung Hoon.
You know I like you, right?
If you were ever upset at me, let it go.
I know you've always pitied me.
When I was a kid,
on the day of the field day,
I remember you made lunch boxes for everyone so I wouldn't feel left out.
Please forgive me for being rude to you...
without good reason...
because Young Shin didn't accept my love.
Do you think...
I could ask you...
to take care of Young Shin?
If it weren't for me, you two would've fallen in love.
I remember you telling me to give it more time.
But no matter how much I wait,
it won't change anything.
- Jung Hoon. - It must be impossible for Young Shin...
to get over your being.
That's what I've been thinking lately.
Give a bit more time to Young Shin.
It's getting tiring, actually.
I'm holding on because I can't let go of Young Shin no matter how I try.
But I'm getting worn out.
Still,
I think it has to be you.
She'll have plenty of chances to meet great people as President Kang's daughter,
but I know what Young Shin is like.
It must be you.
Young Shin...
has compassion for you ultimately.
What are you trying to say?
You'll only have to wait a little more.
Young Shin knows your feelings for her.
Even though Young Shin knows how I feel,
her heart is filled with you,
so there's nothing I can do.
Jung Hoon,
I can't be around Young Shin for long.
It seems I can't hold out much longer.
They couldn't do much at the hospital either.
Are you not well?
Don't tell Young Shin.
- Mr. Jung. - If I ask you to take care of her,
I guess...
it'll make me feel at ease.
Mr. Jung.
It's my last wish.
No way.
I can't believe what you're saying.
How can you tell me that?
I'm sorry.
Mr. Jung.
What did you say?
Did Gyung Soo tell you that?
It was too overwhelming...
to cope with on my own, so I had to tell you.
Even if I tell Young Shin later,
I thought...
you ought to know.
Mr. Lee. I feel so bad for Mr. Jung.
What do we do?
I don't know what to do.
What are you doing, honey?
- Are you crying? - Honey.
What should I do?
What's wrong?
Why? What's going on?
Gyung Soo.
I feel so bad for him.
I feel sorry for him.
Oh, my goodness.
Is that why you're crying?
What's wrong with Gyung Soo?
What happened? Why?
It seems...
that Mr. Jung has decided to leave for my sake.
That's not the way for me.
It's not what I want from him.
I don't think it's that, Young Shin.
My dad also said it might be something else.
Young Shin.
Gyung Soo is very sick.
Pardon?
How is he feeling sick?
His lung cancer...
has already progressed a great deal.
- Lung cancer? - Pretend you don't know about it for now.
He's really concerned for you.
You can't hurt him when he's already in pain.
But that can't be.
How could such a thing happen?
Something must be wrong.
No.
- There's no way that can be true. - Young Shin.
Pretend you don't know about it for now.
He's really concerned for you.
You can't hurt him when he's already in pain.
Did you go to the market when you're not opening the Diner?
I went to the market as I heard you were coming.
They had cuttlefish you like so much.
Let's have gabojingeomuchim with water parsley.
- Maybe I should've brought beer. - Let's have dinner first.
All right. Let's eat up.
Thank you for the food.
Cuttlefish tastes great when seasoned,
but it's also good if you blanch it and have it with wasabi and soy sauce.
Really?
Clean the cuttlefish, leave it until it's semi-dried,
and it tastes wonderful with beer.
Then we can dry it this autumn and have it as a beer snack all winter.
It can be on those snowy days after closing up the Diner.
Young Shin.
What do you want to be in your next life?
Next life?
I want to be a tree.
A tree that doesn't whine in the dead of winter...
and doesn't feel sad to blow away all the leaves in the autumn breeze.
I want to be such a tree.
Have you heard of a tree pod burial?
A tree pod burial?
When I'm gone, can you have a tree pod burial?
- I mean, later on in the future. - In the future?
Why would you worry about what's far ahead in the future?
He did everything, including saying his will,
and waited for his death neatly and in peace.
It was as if he would come back from it.
What will you do...
when I'm gone later on?
Mr. Jung.
Don't be lonely even if I'm not around.
When you see your shadow by the street lamp at night,
know that it's me that couldn't leave you behind.
(A Good Supper)
Do you want to see her go insane?
Even if you say I can't, I'm going to live here.
If you stop coming one day, I will think that you left.
Can you give me my savings account?
Did your brother ask for money?
Look at yourself. How foolish you are.
Goodness. Is that all you can say?
I only knew then that I couldn't do a lot for someone who was dying.
