(Episode 60)
"I hope the day ends peacefully."
Is that what you're thinking?
Sorry?
What are you thinking about so intently?
It's nothing.
I try not to think.
I shouldn't have found out about it.
I'll do it today. Go in and get some rest.
It's not because I don't want to make dinner.
That's never been a problem.
Are you thinking about Mrs. Choi?
Why was I born as her son?
And how did she end up like that?
Not all mothers seem to have a motherly instinct.
Did she come and bother you because I didn't go to work?
She talked about a lot of nonsense.
Why did she say?
It's just so absurd.
How could she be so reckless with all the years behind her?
I guess you're getting into fishing.
Young Shin.
How do you feel about moving downtown?
Why would you say that?
Well, it's far from work.
I'm not going to the restaurant. What do you mean?
You're too young to settle down in the countryside.
I'll only see people and cars downtown.
Here I can see mountains and waters, feel the wind,
and I have you.
I don't want to leave this place.
We don't have any fish today.
It's because the wind burst.
The wind burst?
That's how anglers say it.
Try to draw a picture.
The wind will form a cluster then burst.
I like that expression.
You sound like an angler.
Mr. Jung.
I don't think a person needs many things in life.
You're too young to think that way.
When I took a cab,
I saw many drawings of a cherub wishing for a safe day...
that drivers hung up.
A lot of cabs in the country had them.
I work hard to earn money to pay for our expenses...
and end an exhausting day, being thankful that it went by well.
That's all I need.
Do you think that'd be enough?
Of course, what else do I need as long as you're there?
Mr. Jung, even if a war were to break out, I could live if you're there.
We could flee far away to the seaside,
open a stall at the port,
and start a squid rice soup business.
Squid rice soup?
For the fishermen who were out to fish fighting the cold and waves all night,
I'll sell a hot and spicy bowl of squid rice soup and soju.
You said there was a war.
It's about when people get back to their livelihood after the war.
The fishermen would say the rice soup is so delicious...
because of the pretty new bride.
Are you the new bride?
Sure.
Who is the husband, then?
Wouldn't I be with someone by then?
So you do have plans to get married.
The problem is that with you, I'm always smiling.
What's wrong?
Mrs. Choi, I can't do that.
I will decide whether you can do it or not.
Young Shin won't take it.
You think she is now?
How could I start such a rumor about Mr. Jung and Young Shin?
Forget it, then.
Mrs. Choi, tell me something else.
I'd be punished for that.
I'll take the punishment.
You should just do as I say.
I'm not forcing you.
Forget it if you don't want to.
Come to work.
Are you here to say that again?
You...
Do you want me to start weird rumors about you and Mr. Jung?
- What? - That's what Mrs. Choi told me to do.
She said someone in town has to start a rumor like that.
You must be insane.
So stop insisting and come to work.
If I don't get back to work, are you going to start this rumor?
I have no choice.
Mr. Jung.
What is it?
It's nothing.
What's wrong?
Didn't you just see Da Jung?
Did she say something again?
No, she didn't.
We have cuttlefish. Do you want a beer?
No, I'll go to bed early today.
Young Shin, what brings you here?
Mr. Lee, there's been a problem.
What's wrong? Your face turned pale.
Mr. Lee, what do we do about Da Jung?
Tell me what happened.
Did Da Jung really say she was starting these rumors?
It's not just about me getting back to work.
To adopt Mr. Jung into that family,
Mrs. Choi would do anything.
Welcome. Do you have a reservation?
Which way is the kitchen?
The kitchen?
Are you here for the sanitary inspection?
The kitchen is too busy as it's dinnertime.
Come in tomorrow morning.
Where is the kitchen?
Sir, may I help you?
Are you Mrs. Choi Sook Jung?
Yes, I am. Who would you be?
Lee Da Jung is my daughter.
Oh, I see.
I've wanted to invite you for...
I want my child here.
It's working hours.
I know about the relationship...
between you and Gyung Soo.
- Call Da Jung from the kitchen. - Yes.
I will have the decency to talk to you for Gyung Soo's sake.
Don't do things like that with my daughter.
I didn't bring her up, the apple of my eye,
so people like you would use her.
I don't understand.
I've worked as a teacher my whole life in this community...
and did whatever it took to protect my students.
I had to deal with people like you...
to protect them.
If you ignore what I've said,
you'll be making a big mistake.
Dad!
Let's go home.
This place isn't worth spending your precious youth.
Da Jung's father said that?
From the look in his eyes, he's not an ordinary man.
It's people like him...
who helped Young Shin grow up so properly.
What did you ask Da Jung to do?
You don't need to know.
What did you order her to do that would make her father come here?
I said, you don't need to know.
Dad, why would you come to my workplace like this?
What does it mean to you to be a father?
I haven't even changed. What are you doing?
Stop right there!
Choosing not to forgive you...
is being your father at this moment!
I'll need to take the handbag.
I'll tell your mom to come to get it later!
After this moment,
you won't be able to take one step in that restaurant!
I won't forgive you!
It's looking too dangerous lately.
When wasn't it dangerous?
I think the end is near.
The end?
Jung Gyung Soo won't be able to keep quiet...
for much longer.
How long are you going to call him Jung Gyung Soo?
He's your cousin.
That's true.
I won't be able to tell your uncle Jong Gwon...
that he's my son very easily.
Do you think so?
It's strange to have a parent-child relationship.
After calling myself his mother,
I feel different.
I want to make any excuse possible to approach him again,
and I want to talk to him again.
I can understand what you mean.
When I see that young man...
stuck cooking in a rural diner,
it breaks my heart.
Even if...
I am punished and die,
I will make my son Kang Jong Gwon's son...
and have my son inherit his fortune.
Why are you dressed like that?
You came home wearing that?
Ask Dad.
Da Jung!
Go stay with your grandmother for a while.
If you so much as step outside her house,
just know I'll punish you.
How old do you think I am?
If you're not going to listen to me, leave this house.
Leave and don't step foot in front of me again.
Do you think I'm afraid of you?
Even if you hear the news that I've died,
don't even come to my funeral.
What I'm saying is...
I regret having you.
Honey!
How could you say that to her?
Do you think I'm saying this without reason?
This is why people can't live with their parents when they get older.
Do parents and children have to see each other?
I got it. This is what I wanted.
Honey, she'll remember what you said.
How could you say you regret having her?
I've reached my limit.
What could've made you say that?
What's going on?
I don't know what to do with her.
Choi Sook Jung ordered Da Jung to do that?
I think Young Shin told my husband.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
That woman is the bad one.
Gyung Soo.
Mr. Lee, I'm so sorry.
Did you hear from Young Shin?
The fact that she's my birth mother.
Someone will hear. Let's go over there to talk.
I can't handle that she gave birth to me.
I'm really sorry about Da Jung.
You don't need to be sorry to me.
I was the one who raised my daughter...
to fall prey to such a woman.
I feel so ashamed.
I don't know what to do.
We all know what kind of people you and Young Shin are,
so why are you worried?
It doesn't matter what happens to me,
but I'm afraid that it'll influence Young Shin badly.
You have us.
I will do anything...
and put my life as a teacher on the line,
to protect you and Young Shin.
Mr. Lee.
You can't show your weak sides.
Yes, Mr. Lee.
You must be very disappointed in my wife.
How could a family member write such a letter...
to slander a woman who focuses on work for the family?
How bad must it have been for her to do that?
Living with a husband like me,
she is probably losing some of her good judgment.
You can't just do anything you want because of a difficult situation.
Please forgive her.
I get even angrier when I look at you!
Then at least forgive her for Jun Young's sake.
I think Min Gyung is doing even more because she trusts Jun Young.
Jong Gwon.
At least she feeds you.
How can a person just live off food?
From what I've seen, it's a miracle that you even have three meals...
to eat in a day.
What else do you want?
Do you want to gamble again?
What are you doing not at work?
Oh Bok, can you lend me some money?
Money?
I need to move out, but I don't have enough money.
You're moving out?
My dad told me to move out.
Lee Da Jung.
I haven't even worked for that long,
but I've spent my salary, so I don't have enough for a deposit.
Lee Da Jung!
Don't you have any money?
Well, you probably couldn't have a job while doing the public service work.
How much money could you possibly have?
Then, can you ask Young Shin for some money...
and give it to me?
Oh Bok, I'm begging you.
I'm going to be kicked out soon.
Come stay with us.
What?
I'll use a bedroom with my uncle and my grandma,
and I'll empty a room for you to stay in.
What are you talking about?
How can you just go?
Are you afraid...
that if I get famous, I won't talk to you anymore?
What?
If not, then go ask Young Shin to lend you money.
Please just stop it!
It's so painful...
to see you like this.
It hurts.
I've been recently learning...
what it means to hurt.
Seriously?
Money? Okay, how much do you need?
Could you please lend me 10,000 dollars?
Okay, sure.
I'll go get it when the bank opens tomorrow.
Can you come around ten o'clock?
Thank you.
Also, please don't tell my parents.
Okay.
I'm going to tell them!
I'm going to ask Mr. Lee.
Please wait to lend her money until then.
Da Jung asked you for money?
Do you think I don't have 10,000 dollars to give her?
I could easily lend her that much,
especially thinking about how sorry I am because of you.
However, I'm worried...
about what she needs it for.
She said she's moving out.
She's moving out?
Can't you...
go back to Da Jung?
What?
How can you say that?
It seems that's the only way to get Da Jung back to her old self.
No matter how hard I think,
I can't find a way.
Telling me to die would be better.
That crazy woman!
She made her spread weird rumors? What kind of rumors?
How dare she?
She was trying to get Young Shin's recipes...
and release products, saying that she developed them.
Since Young Shin didn't listen,
she was using Da Jung as if she'd make her...
into a celebrity on TV.
We can't just leave her be.
I'm going to pick up Da Jung's belongings. Could you come with me?
Of course, I should go!
Darn, that woman.
Did my mom go somewhere?
She asked me to watch over and went somewhere.
Then, take this.
It's 10,000 dollars.
Yong Goo.
Put it in quickly before my mom comes.
I'll get in trouble if she sees.
No way! How can I take your money?
It's okay!
When I get the deposit for my house,
I'll pay you back soon.
Thank you...
so much.
No problem.
I need to go somewhere.
Where?
Someplace.
Can you look after this place together?
Yes. Don't worry about it!
Okay!
Am I dressed all right?
Of course. There's nothing wrong with clothes.
We need a bag to pack her belongings.
Oh, I forgot.
Shall we take this?
That'll do.
This seems too improper.
I had a department store bag somewhere.
That's fine. Let's go quickly.
This is a restaurant?
It looks like a royal palace.
This is a famous Korean restaurant.
I thought it was just...
a big Korean restaurant when they were talking about it.
I feel a little daunted.
There's no need to be!
We just need to go in and pack her belongings.
People will stare at me...
when I walk into the restaurant dressed like this.
Who cares if they stare! Let's go in!
I'll do all the talking. Just stand next to me.
Okay. Why would an old lady step in?
Welcome. Are you here to eat?
Lee Da Jung is my daughter.
Hello.
I'm here to take her belongings.
Welcome. I'm the managing director, Choi Sung Chan.
I apologize for having caused concern for Ms. Lee.
Take them to the locker room and help.
Come this way.
I'm done. Let's go.
Did you get everything?
Are you Mrs. Choi Sook Jung?
No, I'm not.
She is the CEO.
Hello.
Yes.
I don't have much to say, having raised my child like that,
but it's unbelievable for someone who has succeeded in this community...
to think like that.
Is that so?
I'm just going to say one thing.
If you run your mouth...
about Young Shin and Gyung Soo,
you'll die in my hands.
Did you just talk down to me?
That's because...
Young Shin is my daughter!
Go and ask in the town...
if there's anyone who disagrees that I call Young Shin my daughter.
What kind of mother would stay silent...
when she hears someone will ruin her daughter's life?
Why are you causing a disturbance at someone else's business?
Call the police.
What? Call the police? Gather all the employees here!
I'll tell you all about how this CEO of yours is...
doing business, so gather around!
You're old enough and dressed up so finely,
but how dare you play such tricks on young girls?
Call the police! Yes, call them!
Why only the police? Call the reporters too!
Call all the reporters from the local newspapers right now!
If you set up this large restaurant here...
and made that much money, you should at least do something good.
What the heck are you doing to such young girls?
I'll have to take care of this later, so please identify yourself.
Identify myself? What do you want to know?
I'm Young Shin's grandma!
Young Shin is my granddaughter!
Did you push her around as she has no relatives?
She's my granddaughter!
You told her to spread rumors in town?
Did you make her start these rumors so you could be punished?
Why are you just standing there?
Call the police immediately and get these people out of here!
Will the police come just for this?
This is the best way to get the police!
You wench!
Ma'am.
- How can you do that to young girls? - Let go!
Calm down. Please don't do this.
There are things you shouldn't do!
Please let go of your hand!
- It's the end for both of us! - Ma'am, why are you doing this?
(A Good Supper)
We just quietly packed her belongings.
Why would they call the police when you packed quietly?
If you're curious, go and ask.
Forget about the business expansion! I want to stop here.
I can't do anything because I'm scared of Min Gyung.
Jun Young is the heir to this family anyway.
In the end, Jun Young will take it all.
Get in now! Why are you standing here listening to this?
Don't get her involved in your dirty family squabbles.
Even if I am criticized for living...
in the same house as you, I think I can put up with it.
I'm nothing without you anyway.
