Stay with him as long as you want.
Okay. I will.
You must've been upset that day.
Parents don't get upset by their kids.
If you need anything, just call me.
I will.
Why don't you go back home?
President Kang must be sad.
We're going to be okay since he's my parent.
He told me I could stay with you as long as I want.
What are you doing?
You're here.
The lady next door gave me some napa cabbage,
so I'm salting it to make kimchi and share it with her.
I gave her some of the kkaetnip jangajji you made me, and she loved it.
So she gave me four heads of napa cabbage.
Are you going to make kimchi and give her some?
What else should I do?
I'll live here anyway.
If I'm going to live here, I should do what the villagers do.
Have a seat.
I got some good corn at the market.
Share it with your neighbor next door.
I went grocery shopping too.
You don't have to do that anymore.
Chef Choi gets off work so late he wouldn't have time for it anyway.
I can do it.
Are you going to get groceries too?
There's a cooking academy in town.
I turned in my resume, and they want me to work there.
A cooking academy?
I could teach a class and write a book there.
I could make enough money to provide for myself if I do something.
What are you going to do with money from President Kang?
How can I accept that money?
I won't.
I'd rather find a way to make a living than take that money.
Just take it.
No.
Why not?
I just don't want to.
Don't you want me to feel better?
- What? - Why don't you just take it?
He's not giving me that money because he forgave me.
It's because you devoted your youth to raising Young Shin.
How can I use that money?
I'm still a mother.
Don't worry about me.
I will work.
I'll live a full life.
I should season the napa cabbage.
Thank you for the corn.
I'll give some to the lady next door.
You should go now.
I came to eat with you.
Don't worry.
I'll cook after making kimchi.
I'll come by tomorrow too.
Gyung Soo.
Will you eat if I cook for you?
I bought burdocks to cook for you.
You must've cooked for me when I lost my memory.
At that time, I didn't cook to feed my kid...
good, warm food.
I just wanted to play the mom's role.
Then today, did you cook to feed me good food?
Try it and see if you like it.
It's good.
I spent decades cooking,
but I never knew what it's like to cook for someone...
with a lot of love and effort until now.
Is that so?
I thought of cooking as a means for success.
I've never put some thought into cooking to feed someone good food.
Now, you're qualified to give cooking lessons.
What if you become a popular instructor?
I didn't even know my son had such a beautiful smile...
until today.
If you apologize to me,
what should I say to you?
Parents and the kids don't have to say anything to each other.
We can just have a meal together.
I loved the food you made for me today.
You're indeed a talented chef.
I followed the recipe in the booklet I stole.
Good job.
I'm going to go.
By the way, my favorite food is not burdock...
but lotus root.
Really?
I was confused.
I had a lot on my mind at that time,
so I didn't even remember that right.
If I had known burdock was this good, I would've started to eat it earlier.
See you tomorrow.
I didn't get what it means that seeing your kid walk away...
makes you sad until now.
I didn't even know...
he smiled a lot.
So did you eat together?
How many more times will I be able to cook for him?
I didn't know...
what a nice guy he is either.
He's nicer than anyone.
How unlucky he is.
It's all because of me.
It's all my fault.
You should've thrown these things out earlier.
Why did you hold onto them?
Your room is as messy as a pigsty.
Why are you here again?
Take it to the door.
Let's throw it out on our way home.
Fix your teeth first.
I've been fine without them. So what's the point now?
Aren't you going to meet Oh Bok's in-laws?
Why would I want to be part of his life after all these years?
Now that we've found you,
you should meet them at least.
If you need more, let me know.
I'll get you more money.
Yong Goo, didn't you tell Mom?
What are you talking about?
If you didn't, that's okay.
About what?
Have you given him money to see the dentist?
He wanted to get me new teeth, so I asked for money instead.
Give me that. I'll pay at the dentist's office myself.
How is he going to live in this world from now on?
Mother, don't be too sad.
Why don't we sell the townhouse we bought...
and open a store for him at the corner of the market?
If we sell it after we impressed Pil Sun's family with that,
how will we face them again?
Mother, we're okay.
A townhouse?
Do you own a townhouse under his name?
They say even a cattle needs someone to rely on.
If we can figure out how to make a living,
I'm willing to live with him again.
Get out of this house right now.
Grandma, if you sell that townhouse, I won't see you again.
How big is the house?
How much can you get if you sell it?
If you help me out this once,
I'll live happily with him again.
I've lived too long.
I should've been gone before I saw all the nasty things.
I offered her money, but she rejected it.
Sook Jung?
She said she'd give cooking lessons, so I didn't have to worry about her.
She can't bring herself to take that money.
I want to make Gyung Soo feel a little better as he'll be leaving soon.
I'll go meet her tomorrow.
Don't go.
She wouldn't want to see you.
Don't worry. Do you think I'd provoke her there?
Sook Jung.
What are you doing here?
I missed you.
I'm serious.
I'm glad you're here.
Have some corn.
Your timing is good.
Why don't you want to take Jong Gwon's money?
Would you take that money if you were me?
He's giving me that money for Gyung Soo.
Even though I'm his mother, I don't deserve to have it.
You need to think about it from Gyung Soo's perspective.
You just don't know my son well.
He won't even spend a cent of another person's money.
Why don't you think I know that?
Still, with these circumstances...
Since you're here, take some greens with you.
Did you harvest them?
I have great neighbors,
so I never have to worry about having nothing to eat.
They bring so much food to me...
that Sung Chan and I can't finish all of it.
I'll take some, then.
You wouldn't even be able to buy these in the city.
You know he goes crazy over vegetables.
Jong Gwon?
Don't tell him that I gave them to you.
Just say you bought them at the market.
If you tell him they're from me, with his personality, he won't eat them.
You've changed a lot.
You also are looking at me differently.
Pack me up some greens.
I'll take them and serve them to Jong Gwon.
Seeing her today,
she just looked like a little woman who's getting old.
She even looked a little pitiful for some reason.
You're so unpredictable.
I don't think men can understand the pressure mothers feel...
to give their children a better life.
Have you let go of all your hatred for her from all that time?
How could you talk about hatred...
when a man so young is dying?
So, did you talk to her?
We might try again later, but she won't take anything right now.
She gave me these greens.
She told me you'd like them.
They taste different from the ones at the supermarket.
She said you might not eat them if I say they're from her,
so she told me to pretend I bought them.
I just wanted to tell you.
I think you all should go home.
Why? Is someone there?
Oh Bok's father is here.
Oh Bok's father is here?
What's going on all of a sudden?
I'll go, so you two stay here.
Where's Mang Soon going?
She said that Oh Bok's father is here.
Why would you tell her already?
Then, what should we do?
I'll let you speak privately.
Did you bring him here?
He said he had something to tell you.
Something to tell me?
What is it?
If you sell the townhouse for me,
I'll live with her again.
Is that what you ran to him to say?
Mother, he said he wants to try again.
What are you doing?
Tell her if she helps you this last time,
you'll quit drinking and start living with a new purpose.
If you help me this last time,
I'll work hard.
I can't believe my ears.
Why are you all sitting down? I heard that Oh Bok's father is here.
Let's go and say hello.
Honey, take out my suit.
No, you don't need to go.
Pretend you didn't know.
What are you doing? You should get ready too.
Dad, we're just going to go alone.
You stay here.
How could I not go after hearing that he's here...
in this small neighborhood?
If you sell it for me,
we'll take care of you.
You couldn't even take care of your son. How could you take care of me?
We really will.
Please help us, Mother.
Do you two even have brains?
I bought that for poor Yong Goo after going without food to save up.
Now, Yong Goo has met a nice wife and gotten married.
It didn't look to me like he'll have any trouble from now.
A nice wife?
Right, you're right.
I'm so thankful for him for meeting a nice wife after having a bad life,
so I bragged to my in-laws that I bought that townhouse.
Do you think she'd divorce him now...
if the townhouse is gone?
What?
How could you say such a thing?
My husband is in much worse shape.
Look at him!
Do you think he's in better shape than Yong Goo?
Whether he's better or worse, you two need to go and live your lives.
Mother.
I still have feelings for him.
As long as we have a way to live,
I want to try again.
Oh Bok, you're here.
It's your dad.
How have you been?
My parents-in-law are here.
What?
What do we do?
I'm sorry we came without notice.
I thought if I didn't say hello now, it would just get put off again,
so I decided to come even if it's impolite.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Lee Wan Soo.
It's nice to meet you, Father.
She's Oh Bok's wife.
Really?
I see you're Oh Bok's wife.
You're so pretty.
This is my wife.
So, you're our in-laws.
I'm Oh Bok's father.
Yes, you must be tired from your travels.
Mr. Lee is a teacher.
Really?
Oh, my. What an honor.
I wouldn't call it an honor.
It's such an honor to meet you like this.
It's really an honor.
It's an honor.
Is that all you have to say?
I'm not sure what else to say.
Now that we've met like this,
we should go get some drinks.
Sure.
There's a bar in the village.
How could we take our new in-laws to a bar?
Do you have money?
Yong Goo and my mother gave me money to fix my teeth.
Well, I hope you have a nice stay. I have to get going.
Let's have dinner another time. Just go home.
Should we?
Then, I'll see you another time.
Oh Bok, take Da Jung and go.
You don't have to stay.
Still, her father-in-law is here.
How could a daughter-in-law leave after just showing her face?
What an impolite family.
Shut your mouth!
How dare you say such a thing?
Honey, what's wrong with you? How could you just run away?
Well,
are you saying you want all of us to get together...
and drink alcohol at the village bar?
It looks like Yong Goo and Mang Soon gave him money to fix his teeth.
He's going around drinking with that money.
Can't you see? It's so obvious.
I hate this.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I'm sorry, Oh Bok.
I can't even look at you the same.
Mom!
Did you just yell at me?
What did you do so right to give you the right to yell at me?
Is this Oh Bok's fault?
Don't be so harsh!
There's no reason to yell.
Go and take care of your parents-in-law,
have your baby, and live a good life.
Now, I'm really sick of you too.
I really hate you. I hate everyone!
Honey, listen to me.
If you ever act like that...
in front of Da Jung and Oh Bok again, I won't let it go.
Don't let it go.
When her baby is born,
their great-grandma will sell vegetables at the market,
their great uncle will be different from others,
and their grandparents will be that mess.
How do you think the kid will feel?
Why would you bring Yong Goo and Mang Soon into this?
I know that Mang Soon is a thoughtful woman...
and that Yong Goo is a good person.
Still, from a child's perspective, would they be able to see that?
Even kids that don't have as much as we do grow up fine.
Why did you want to go fishing out of nowhere?
I just wanted to go fishing.
It'll be hard in this heat.
We're right next to the water. How hot could it be?
It's quite cool, actually.
Let me know if you're tired.
Okay.
When will the fish bite?
They'll bite if you wait.
Why are we wasting our time like this?
People who can't spare time can't do this.
Will they really bite if we wait long enough?
The stupidest question you could ask when fishing...
is asking when the fish will bite.
That's for the fish to decide. How do I know?
How do you two still bicker like that?
Young Shin, I told Jung Hoon to come.
Be nice to him.
I'm tired already. I should get going.
Are you tired?
Let's go together, then. I want to go too.
No, while you're here, stay a bit longer.
What will you do with the bait?
Jung Hoon, come over for a beer in the evening.
Don't you know why Mr. Jung left like that?
I don't.
Mr. Jung told me this.
You have compassion for me.
I do.
Some weird ladies must've found out my contact information.
I'm getting more calls than I imagined.
Weird ladies?
They seem to be matchmakers who arrange marriages for money.
I've heard of many where both the father and daughter are doctors.
I might be able to choose from a list if that's what I decide to do.
I guess you would.
Medical students with good looks as you won't be easy to come by.
I realized why none of them caught my eyes...
after hearing what Mr. Jung said.
I have compassion for you too.
That's how we grew up, pitying each other.
It's the same with you saying I feel like a sibling to you.
I was mad at first.
But I heard married couples also feel like siblings as they live together.
What do you want to say?
With Mr. Jung sick,
what can I say even if I have something to say?
I'm just saying.
Jung Hoon, listen to me.
I know how Mr. Jung must feel about leaving me behind.
But that's just how he feels.
Don't pass on a good offer to marry for my sake.
Three years ago,
when you merely thought of Mr. Jung as the man who raised you,
you would've left with me if it weren't for Da Jung.
Then, thinking that's what love was,
we would've had a good life.
No.
Even if it weren't for Da Jung three years ago,
I wouldn't have been able to leave Mr. Jung.
I blanched a cuttlefish.
Let's have it with Jung Hoon when he gets here.
I will open the Diner again from tomorrow.
Why would you cook at the Diner when you have a good job?
Mr. Jung, is there anything you want to do or want to go to?
Maybe because I haven't tried many things in life,
there isn't much I want to do.
People who have many experiences...
would have plans to do this or that when they have the time.
But maybe because I didn't have many experiences in my life,
I don't have much I want to do.
Well, after you graduated from high school and served in the army,
you ran the Diner passed down from your grandmother,
then you took me in and raised me.
You took on a child and became a parent at that age.
So, where could you have gone?
What could you have done?
Young Shin.
Still, I like my life.
You do?
I lost my mom at a young age...
and struggled after my birth mother showed up later,
but after meeting you, I loved unsparingly...
and was loved more than I deserved.
Not many people would get to feel...
such a wealth of emotions as I have before they're gone.
Mr. Jung.
I might've missed out on many things that others do.
But it's nice to know on a deeper level what it means to live a life.
With the life I had,
I'd say it was pretty good.
Mr. Jung.
You heard something from Jung Hoon, didn't you?
No, I haven't heard anything.
Mr. Jung.
Young Shin.
I'm okay...
if you are.
Mr. Jung.
I think of how you might be reminded of me at times...
and suppress your longing for me through gritted teeth.
And that one thing...
breaks my heart.
Mr. Jung.
I was the only one...
that you trusted and relied on.
If I'm gone one day,
you'd wonder, "Where did Mr. Jung go so suddenly?"
How empty you must feel.
Mr. Jung.
The one thing I regret...
is raising you to be too dependent on me.
Mr. Jung.
Even if I'm gone, be strong...
and live well.
I don't know what you've been telling me.
Why would you not be here?
When Mr. Jung took me in and raised me,
he was as old as I am now.
He was 23.
When I think about it now, that's such a young age.
He raised a girl, barely 15 years younger than him...
at that age.
I see.
He was as old as we are.
When the day broke, he would diligently work at the Diner...
and raised me with the money he earned from it.
That's all that Mr. Jung ever did in this life.
When I asked him if he had something he wanted to do,
he said he didn't want to do much because he never tried anything.
What should I do, Jung Hoon?
Young Shin.
I feel so bad for Mr. Jung that I don't know what to do.
I feel so sorry for him.
Just like Mrs. Choi once said,
Mr. Jung had such a rough life.
What a life he had.
I'm glad that with you here,
the Diner opened again.
Isn't Mrs. Gong coming?
She went to the village with Oh Bok's father.
Then I should say hello too.
I'll make a chance for you to say hello.
Da Jung, if you introduce my parents to someone without asking me,
I'll be upset.
Oh Bok, it's wrong to be embarrassed by your parents.
Thank you for the food.
Mang Soon, I mean, ma'am,
will you have Oh Bok's parents live with you in this village?
Well, I...
In that case, Oh Bok can't live with Da Jung to the end.
What are you saying?
We don't live in a world where parents stay together for their kids.
If they're going to split up, it's better to do so early.
Mother doesn't look too good.
Mom, are you okay?
I might have an upset stomach from lunch.
I'm not feeling too good.
Would you like me to rub your back?
I'll have to take a digestant.
I'll bring it.
- It's in the drawer in the dresser. - Okay.
Da Jung, I'm asking you a favor after much thought.
Put each of these rings on Mr. Jung and me later.
