Se Jin, what brings you here this early?
How's Gyung Soo? Don't you have to go to the hospital?
Why are you cooking here?
He doesn't let me come.
He doesn't want me to see him suffering.
I think the Diner family should stay home too.
Is that so?
Who's at the hospital, then?
It seems like Mrs. Choi is there.
He wouldn't want a bride-to-be to see him in pain.
I feel for him.
Someone I knew lived long enough...
but died of lung cancer.
He was in so much pain that he rather wanted to die.
After he died,
his children had a rough time because that image broke their hearts.
Gyung Soo wouldn't want Young Shin to remember him suffering.
I guess he feels more comfortable with his own mom in the end.
He asked Mrs. Choi to stay in the hospital with him.
I guess so.
Are you upset that he didn't let you come to the hospital?
I understand why.
I'm just afraid that it's going to be our last moment together...
when I drove him to the hospital.
Young Shin.
He was in so much pain, and I was all over the place.
I don't remember our last conversation.
I can't remember...
what we were talking about last.
Still, you should put yourself together and stay strong.
Gyung Soo might turn the corner...
and come visit us again.
Mom.
I want you...
to be with me at my last moment.
Okay. Don't worry.
I'll be with you until the end.
Even if I suffer a lot, don't cry.
I won't.
I'm a strong woman, so don't worry about that.
Why do you worry about it?
I'm just sorry.
Don't be sorry to me.
I will keep others from seeing you in pain.
I'll be the only one to stay with you until the last moment. Don't worry.
Do you want...
to hear me say, "I love you"?
You don't have to say that.
I might not have time to say that later.
Don't worry about those things.
You can say that if you want to, but if you don't, you don't have to.
I haven't said it because I was shy.
But in my heart,
I might've been loving you.
Look at you. You're crying already.
Mom.
I have a favor to ask.
Tell me.
Since Young Shin is getting married,
she'd need to buy wedding gifts.
I should be with you,
so I'll ask Min Gyung to do that for you.
Make sure to get her a beautiful wedding dress.
I'll have it designed by the most famous designer.
I want to see Young Shin in a white wedding dress.
You'll get to see it. Don't worry.
Will I?
Do you miss Young Shin?
Young Shin.
What are you doing now?
Do you miss me so much...
that you can't focus on anything but thinking about me?
Why are you so dazed?
What are you thinking about?
I thought I managed to get through today.
It's only been a few days after he went to the hospital,
but it feels like a long time.
Do you miss...
Mr. Jung?
I missed him so badly...
I would spring to my feet to go to the hospital.
But then I would drop down,
waiting for the longing to pass.
When that happens,
I have to stay still, holding my breath.
What are you doing?
I'm guarding here to take Young Shin to a doctor if she faints.
What are you doing here, not studying?
Mother asked me to check on Young Shin...
because Da Jung will only be crying her eyes out with her.
Do you get me?
I do.
I'm also thankful for you.
You're thanking me because you think she can't...
get over Mr. Jung, right?
As time goes by, Young Shin will be so thankful for you.
If the three of us have to be together forever,
there's nothing I can do.
Why would you think that?
I still think I should take care of her in this situation.
Where did I get that wrong idea?
I learned how much you love her.
Don't worry. You two will live happily.
You two are so special. You don't have to make up...
to be calm around each other like an old married couple.
- Congratulations on your wedding. - Thank you.
Once she gets married, she'll be busy with her new life.
If she has a kid, she'll be busy raising them.
Then years will fly by.
That won't make Young Shin forget about Gyung Soo.
She won't get over him.
I'm just saying life goes on.
Hello.
- Hello. - Mi Ja is coming.
Mother.
- I'm here. - What are you doing here?
I just came by.
I wanted to see you all.
I'm glad you're here. Brother is living here with us too.
Pil Sun told me that over the phone.
Did you already get your teeth fixed?
The dentist fixed them for aesthetic purposes.
Anyway, you look completely different with the new teeth.
So, you want to get back together with him?
- Yes. - If you're going to back out...
since you're only here for a place to stay,
just sign divorce papers already.
How can you say that?
He can't have a second failed marriage at that age.
I'm at that age too.
He's come around now. I'll set him up with a neat lady if I can.
It's okay, Mom. I'd rather start things over again with her...
than living with someone else.
What?
It's my fault that she couldn't stand me, and she ran away from home.
Honey.
Don't think about asking me to sell the townhouse.
You don't have to sell that.
I wouldn't take things away from Yong Goo.
I'm thankful that you let me live here for free.
What changed your mind?
It's normal to change one's mind.
I guess they're still attached.
It was hard for them to make a living.
Now that that's taken care of, they'll be fine.
I have an idea.
We could get a small store at the market with Yong Goo's fixed deposit,
and Mi Ja and I can open an accessory shop.
We could sell accessories and women's clothes.
We can't use that money.
We can pay the rent deposit under his name.
That way, Pil Sun won't have to sell on the street.
If I have a store, I could make so much more money for sure.
You're diligent and have good business skills.
You will never go out of business.
I think Mi Ja could run a boutique.
As long as you don't lose the security deposit,
there's no real difference from leaving it in the bank.
That's perfect for me.
I know so much about boutiques.
I'll help make all the village ladies sophisticated.
I'm not sure if the village ladies would come to the shop after seeing you.
Don't worry.
I'll bring in so many customers.
You're audacious, so you'll be good at doing business.
Still, you're the worker, and she's the owner.
What's the point of distinguishing between the owner and the worker in a tiny shop?
We're both the owners.
No, she's still the owner.
Okay.
I look forward to working with you, ma'am.
I look forward to working with you too, Mi Ja.
If you're rude to her since you're higher in the hierarchy, she'll scold you.
She may not look tough, but she grew up in the marketplace.
Mang Soon, how could you say that?
How could she be afraid of me?
She should be afraid of her boss.
Okay.
I'll listen to Pil Sun and work hard.
I'm watching you.
Now, I don't have to worry about where to live...
and what I should do for a living.
Thank you, Pil Sun.
You're welcome.
Thank you, Yong Goo.
Thank you.
I bet Mom will sleep well at night now.
It's all thanks to you, Pil Sun.
Thank you.
It's all because she loves me.
You're right.
That's great. I'll sometimes go to help.
I used to run a clothing shop.
I know the industry.
Right, that's right. You were great at sales.
That's why you were scouted to be the handbag store manager.
Thank you so much, Se Jin.
Sure, I'll cooperate as much as possible, Mi Ja.
I'm going to work hard so that I don't hurt...
your honorable reputation in the community.
Honorable? I don't know what you're talking about.
Of course, you are honorable, Mr. Lee.
You're too kind. I don't know what to say.
I'm so thankful to you too, Gyung Chul.
You did so much to help get him in the right direction.
I'm all right. You don't need to give credit to me.
I'll just eat quietly.
So, the conclusion is my daughter-in-law Pil Sun is good luck.
Mang Soon, what is this all about?
I'll just eat quietly too.
I love you, Pil Sun.
Okay, just eat your food.
Oh, my. Yong Goo, you're such a romantic guy.
Guy? Do you mean scissors?
Scissors for cutting paper?
You haven't changed a bit.
I thought you'd have upgraded after getting married.
She lived abroad for a while,
so she speaks some third-rate English.
Just pretend you didn't hear her and eat your food.
Third-rate English?
Mother.
I think if she had been born nowadays and studied like other people,
she would've done big things.
I agree!
I strongly agree.
I guess we have some new family at the Diner.
Next year, the babies will be born too.
That's right.
Are you thinking of Mr. Jung?
No, I'm not thinking of him.
You can talk about him when you're with us.
How could she say everything she's feeling?
I'm a lot younger than Mr. Jung,
so I was planning on taking care of him at the end.
Mr. Jung is dying,
and I don't know why I have to be here doing nothing for him.
Young Shin.
Mr. Jung is dying.
What in the world am I doing here?
I feel like I'm going to go crazy when I have those thoughts.
Young Shin.
What do you think he's doing right now?
What do you think he's thinking about?
Mr. Jung.
I...
Even when you push me away like that,
I feel more and more nervous whenever I see you.
I feel so nervous that I can't even look you in the eyes.
I think I feel more desperate for fear of losing you when you push me away.
We're the only ones who will know that this is here.
They say if we put a padlock here, our love will last forever.
Do you think that could be true?
Guess what day this Friday is.
What day is it?
Is there anything you want?
What would I want? Is it my birthday again?
What do you mean?
It comes back every year, and it's annoying.
Are you too annoyed to celebrate?
With the circumstances like this, how is my birthday special?
Oh Bok said it's your first birthday since the wedding,
so he wants to buy you something.
What should I tell him to get?
Where does he have the money for that?
Just tell me something that's reasonable.
He said he's going to buy something, so if you tell him not to, he'll feel bad.
- Just tell him I'm all set. - That's putting him to trouble.
If he asks what to get you and you say you don't need anything,
that's when they get a headache and will spend more money.
Just tell him to buy a few pounds of pork to eat with the Diner family.
You can't teach them to be like that.
If you say no the first time, they'll think you really don't want gifts,
and they won't ever buy you anything.
Are you afraid that they won't?
Pork?
He really underestimates me.
My dad really doesn't want anything.
Should we buy him some bookstore gift certificates,
so he can buy as many books as he wants?
Still, bookstore gift certificates aren't great for a birthday gift.
Let's all put some money together and buy him something.
We never even gave him gifts for teacher's day.
He wouldn't let us.
What should we buy him?
I'm stumped.
Father, happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Dad.
Thank you, but I don't deserve this.
I have a birthday every year, so we could've skipped it this year.
How would that make me feel?
It's my father-in-law's first birthday since I got married.
Are Oh Bok's parents not coming?
I was worried they'd ruin the night if they came,
so I told them to go eat out in the village.
They could've been here.
Anyway, it's enough with just us.
Everyone is here but one person among the Diner family.
Happy birthday, Mr. Lee.
Thank you for helping me live here with Mr. Jung.
Thank you for taking care of me like a father...
and watching out for me.
Happy birthday, Mr. Lee.
Thank you for teaching me and taking care of me like a father...
when I couldn't afford to go to an academy...
and helping me grow into who I am.
Happy birthday, Mr. Lee.
Thank you for never giving up on me despite my crises,
loving me until the end,
and for letting me love Da Jung.
Happy birthday, Dad.
Thank you for always forgiving me,
not giving up on me,
and always thinking about my happiness.
I love you, Dad.
I never did anything to deserve all this.
Thank you all for growing up into great people.
I've been so grateful to have students like you.
It's an honor.
Thanks to you,
I was able to find a wife like Pil Sun.
Thank you, Mr. Lee.
I also owe a lot of thanks to you,
especially for what you've done for Jung Hoon.
Thank you, and happy birthday.
Of course. Jung Hoon worked hard.
Out of all the people with kids in this village,
there's nobody who hasn't been graced by you.
Thank you, and happy birthday.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, Dad.
Thank you, everyone. I appreciate it.
You should see what's in there.
Can I open it?
(Cruise ticket, 10,000 dollars)
What's this? Is it a cruise ticket?
Oh, my. How much is this?
One, ten, hundred, thousand...
Ten thousand.
Did you guys prepare this?
It was sponsored by President Kang.
President Kang?
He saw me searching for what present I should get for Mr. Lee.
And he prepared it for us.
My goodness. How grateful I am.
Please go on this tour with Mother.
Oh, my. It's your birthday, but I guess I'm the lucky one.
It's the kind of thing you give for 60th birthdays.
Not everyone can give it as a 60th birthday present either.
I don't deserve this, Young Shin.
Dad wanted me to tell you he's grateful to you too.
It's too good for me that I don't know what to do.
It's thanks to having a student like Young Shin.
You're very blessed, Mr. Lee.
We'll take it this time.
Don't get gifts until our 60th birthday. Oh Bok and Da Jung.
Not even for me. This does it.
This will work for the rest of our lives.
My dream came true. I love it.
I knew I married the right man.
Did I become the right man for you over a cruise ticket?
When I got older, I was going to take you on trips.
To Jeju Island?
Young Shin, Jung Hoon, Oh Bok, and Da Jung. Thank you so much.
Please tell President Kang that I appreciate it.
When they ask us what we want as a birthday gift,
we shouldn't answer. That's how we get something like this.
All right. Let's blow out the candles and start eating.
Why don't we sing this song...
instead of the birthday song?
For the teacher's grace is
High as the sky
The more we look up to it
The higher it becomes
Our teachers who taught us
To be true and right
Are like parents
In our heart
Thank you. Everyone...
Thank you!
Help buy the furnishings for Young Shin's wedding, Min Gyung.
Of course, I should.
Sook Jung has to stay in the hospital.
Thank you, Min Gyung.
Jong Gwon will help cover all the expenses.
You can do a good job, honey. Isn't shopping your specialty?
Well, I mean...
Buying each household item is not an easy job.
But I have to wait for each item and get the delivery.
It's not like they all come together.
We can ask Young Shin to receive the delivery.
Goodness. I have to check if they're the right ones.
Don't you know much trouble mothers go through to marry off their daughters?
You talk as if you've done it once.
How would you know when you've never tried it?
That's how my mom married me off.
Right, at that time,
what happened to all the furnishings Mother bought for us?
What do you think happened to them?
Because you sold our apartment without me knowing,
we got kicked out overnight, so I sent them all to a junk shop.
My mom had bought us such nice furniture.
Is that so?
That reminds me of my mom.
Jong Woo.
You should be good to Min Gyung for the rest of your life.
I'll be good to you until the day I die, honey.
Thank you for staying with a man like me...
all this time.
I stayed because of Jun Young, not you.
It's still the same.
If it weren't for you, I don't know what would've become of me.
I love you, honey.
Let's have a fun life together as we have now...
for the rest of our lives.
Fun? Was it fun for you?
My gosh.
Even if I were born in the next life,
I'd marry you.
Oh, my. Says who?
No, I'll refuse. That won't happen.
I would...
love to be with you.
What?
I have a paunch. Oh, my.
Are you on your way to the hospital?
You must feel devastated to be sending your son away.
It's what I have to do.
Take good care.
You must...
feel heartbroken to be sending your son away.
I'm sorry to be caught up marrying off my daughter.
Don't say that. I should be doing that do.
At least,
I'm here for you, so don't feel so empty.
You're trying on the wedding gown the day after tomorrow.
Yes.
I don't think I can take time out.
Can you go with Se Jin and Da Jung?
Aunt Min Gyung will be there with us, so don't worry.
I'll come too.
I should be there for you. I'm sorry.
You guys keep talking. I'm going.
Oh Bok, can you give me a minute?
You have to be there for her to see her in a wedding gown.
Try to make time for it.
I can see it on the wedding day.
Can you take Mr. Jung there?
Mr. Jung?
He'd want to see Young Shin in a wedding gown.
Is it because Mr. Jung might not make it until the wedding day?
You never know what's going to happen.
So, did you say you didn't have time to give them space?
Do this for me, Oh Bok.
Don't tell Young Shin about it.
Just have Mr. Jung go to the shop.
If you tell Young Shin that Mr. Jung will be coming,
she won't get any sleep from the day before.
All right.
I'll get going.
See you later.
My goodness.
It's so pretty.
You look gorgeous, Young Shin.
Mr. Jung.
It's been a while.
Mr. Jung, what brings you here?
I came with him as he wanted to see you in a wedding gown.
Mr. Jung.
Young Shin.
You're stunning.
You really are.
(A Good Supper)
We might as well get divorced. Let's just stop here.
I'll see you in court, then.
I've always loved you.
And I'll love you even more as we live together.
How is it the four of us never want to leave this town?
Wherever I go, I always wanted to come back here.
Let's live a long life here together.
Don't cry.
Let's show him what a pretty bride you are.
Mr. Jung, thank you for loving me.
I love you too,
Young Shin.
