When I woke up this morning,
I saw her lying next to me with both of her hands holding mine.
When I saw...
how small her hands were when she held mine,
it broke my heart.
She didn't get any sleep at our house. She was very worried.
Both her grandmother and grandfather...
passed away from sickness.
So she's terrified of someone getting sick.
I used to not want anything or become someone.
I went to the army as soon as I graduated from high school.
My grandmother passed away when I was discharged.
Since I didn't have a dream or anything,
I inherited her diner without any hesitation.
But nowadays, I smile a lot...
because of Young Shin.
She makes me want to save up for the future.
They say you're the only person you can trust in this world.
But I guess everyone has their own fate...
that others might not understand.
What do you mean?
The pictures aren't going anywhere. Stop looking at them.
I'm memorizing them to remember them in my head.
You don't need to memorize them.
You'll have another field day...
and Christmas again next year.
Da Jung and everyone we see at the "Diner" might not be around.
Da Jung, Jung Hoon, Oh Bok, and everyone...
will be around.
What do you mean?
Go outside and ride your bike instead of memorizing the pictures.
Do you mean that I'll be staying here until next year?
I think you will.
Young Shin, what's wrong?
What do you mean, "What's wrong?"
I passed out out of happiness.
You scared me.
That's how happy I am.
Thank you so much, young man.
I'm so happy for you!
Young Shin, I'm so happy!
Stop jumping up and down by the table.
Thank you, Lord!
He has answered my prayers.
Hooray!
It's not like today is Independence Day or something.
All of us prayed with one heart.
The Lord couldn't ignore our prayers.
You've made a tough decision.
We'll treat Young Shin like she's our daughter.
We'll help you raise her well.
You'll be blessed for doing this, Gyung Soo.
I was able to be this brave because all of you helped.
I feel relieved also.
I've always felt very bad.
That's why we're having a pork barbeque party tonight!
Hooray!
I love pork belly!
Let's start grilling our meat.
Let's raise our glasses for Young Shin.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Cheers, everyone.
Pork belly tastes great. I haven't tried this before.
Young man!
I want some hotteok.
I'll buy you one on our way back after getting groceries.
There are socks here, young man!
Could you wait a little bit, please?
You're distracting me.
I'd like it if you could get me these socks in pink.
This is taking way longer with you by my side.
Starting from tomorrow, stay at home.
I'll take them all.
- It's 30 dollars, right? - Yes.
Wait for me!
Young man, wait for me!
She's asking him to buy her stuff now.
Everyone's laughing because she is calling him a young man.
He wouldn't mind if she called him a young woman.
He's not the type to mind what other people think.
He's gotten more talkative and outgoing...
ever since Young Shin got here.
You do have an idea of what's going on.
I'm not that stupid, Mother.
Don't eat too much before dinner.
My only wish left is for me to grow taller.
I have to eat a lot for me to get taller.
Having sweets is going to make you lose your appetite.
Stop eating now.
Just one more bite.
Welcome.
Long time no see.
How have you been?
When I heard that you went to the army,
I thought about visiting you.
But I didn't want to make you feel pressured.
I felt uneasy...
when I heard of your discharge.
I had to see you at least once.
Am I making you uncomfortable?
You're graduating soon.
Are you going to get a job?
I wanted to, but it's not working out well.
If I can't get a job, I'm thinking about getting married early.
Are you seeing someone right now?
I did.
I've dated a few people,
but things didn't work out.
Who is she?
Is she your niece?
You know I don't have any siblings.
Then who is she?
That's bad.
Why?
It's an emergency.
Emergency?
He just decided to let you stay with him,
and someone like her shows up!
What happens if they get married?
Married?
I feel like something bad is going to happen.
Why would you say that?
You're making me nervous.
Is there a more serious word than an emergency?
This is worse than being an emergency.
If he gets married,
I could just live with them.
Do you think you'll have a say in that?
He'll let me stay with him.
Of course, Mr. Jung will.
But what if she doesn't want to?
Guys can never win against women.
Really?
When my mom and dad fight, my mom always wins in the end.
She uses all kinds of dirty means.
What do you mean, dirty?
She either talks him into it or gets angry...
to get her way.
You scared me!
What's up?
Are you hungry?
Why did you get scared?
It's nothing.
I think you look better in pink.
Do you think so?
Are you going somewhere?
Yes. Someone's coming to visit.
Who?
Is it that woman from before?
Yes.
Do you want to go with me to the train station?
Do you want to look handsome for her?
No!
What are you talking about?
Can I wear something pretty too?
Sure. Wear what you want.
(Sintan-ri Station)
How do I look?
You must be cold in just a dress. Aren't you cold?
Being cold isn't important right now.
What are you going to do if you catch a cold?
I want to look pretty for her too.
Gyung Soo!
Did you come to pick me up?
No,
I was just passing by.
You came too!
My name is Kim Young Shin.
It's nice to meet you.
Why are you being so formal?
You look very bright.
I...
was burned by a lot of people in Seoul.
Seoul really...
isn't all that.
Before I went to the military,
I went to your university once.
Really?
You should've called me first.
I just...
wanted to say hi if I ran into you,
and I didn't think to reach out to you.
Does that disappoint you?
Disappoint me?
No, I mistreated you.
Your campus was so spectacular that it made me dizzy.
So, I just took a train home.
I see.
I really think they...
must've liked each other a long time ago.
My intuition was right.
By the way, Da Jung!
I think I'm going to like her.
- What? - She has such a nice voice!
She speaks really softly,
and my heart feels like it'll melt.
Hey, snap out of that!
She only made her voice like that on purpose,
so Mr. Jung would think she's pretty.
I've never heard such a sad voice.
I think I know why he liked her.
He's met such a fox.
He met a fox!
Mom, do men like women with soft and quiet voices?
Go somewhere else.
Why are you so stuck to me today?
Do they like women...
with sad and quiet voices?
Go ask your dad. Mom is busy.
I told you I'm going to an alumni gathering today, right?
I'm going to wear this. How is it?
From the front and the back, you just look like a teacher.
You seem like you were born to be a teacher.
I wish you would take me seriously.
- I'm going. - Dad!
Do you like...
women with soft and sad voices?
Would I have married your mom if I did?
I might be out late, so don't wait up for me.
I'm the only one who's worried.
We can just get takeout.
You liked my spaghetti, remember?
I just want to remind you of when you liked me.
This town is just so small.
Why?
Are you worried someone will see us?
No, it's not like that.
I just don't want any rumors.
What's wrong with a rumor?
I'm starting to sweat.
Why are you so anxious? It's embarrassing.
Let's see if I'm wrong.
Gyung Soo?
Hello!
We ran out of fruit at home.
But, who is this?
Okay!
Spaghetti sauce is over there.
I'll see you around.
You're Young Shin, right? Eat as much as you want.
Thank you!
Gyung Soo, you eat too.
Shouldn't I be the one cooking?
While I'm here, enjoy some food cooked by someone else.
You said that's the most delicious kind of food.
What's wrong?
Do you not like it?
I can't really eat salty food.
Is it salty? I'll get some water.
Whenever I try to make it tasty, it doesn't go well.
Just eat it up!
Isn't it too salty?
I can just drink water later!
You're an adult and you can't eat salty food?
I'm sorry. If it's too salty, don't eat it.
No, I think it's delicious!
Stop eating. It's okay.
Gyung Soo, it's been a while since I saw you smile.
What? She makes me smile.
What if you get thirsty from all this salty food?
What's the matter? I can just drink water.
Oh, my.
Seriously, stop eating.
You got it all over your face.
Don't you have to prep for dinner?
It doesn't take that long to go to the station.
You finished early!
Yes, the farm owner gave this to me.
Use it for a side dish.
It looks great.
Now that we have greenhouses, we don't have seasons anymore.
- Thank you so much. - It's nothing.
Well, I'll see you at dinner.
Yes!
Yong Goo! Are you out for delivery?
I guess it really is a small town.
You can't walk five minutes without running into someone.
I might have to go into hiding tomorrow.
Go deliver this to the pork feet place.
Delivery isn't important right now.
Then what is? Hurry up and go!
The pork feet place is angry that it's late.
The pork feet place being angry isn't important right now.
Then what's important?
You'll know soon.
What?
Gyung Soo is a lucky guy.
She looked nice with a good air about her too.
What's wrong with Gyung Soo?
He has a wonderful character.
They looked good together.
Mom, why are you smiling like that?
It's good to see them happy.
After living together for a long time,
you start to forget what you liked about a man.
Why are you saying that in front of a child?
Anyway, they really look great together.
Why is the melon so tasteless today?
We have to fill ourselves with these living in the countryside.
They say it's full of omega-3, is it not?
Omega-3 fatty acid?
The omega-3 fatty acid isn't the issue here.
What's the issue then?
I think there's a woman.
- Is this about Gyung Soo? - What?
Is Gyung Soo seeing someone?
What is this about?
Then will there be a young woman at the "Diner" now?
I wish she was pretty!
What are you giggling about?
He should be dating women.
That's great news.
I need to meet her to see if she's nice and gentle.
- She looked nice and gentle to me. - Really?
Hopefully, we'll get invited to their wedding in spring.
You didn't have to come out.
Last time, your uncle said...
that I was thinking about something else with my eyes.
It means no one's easy.
- You were right. - Is that old woman...
from the jujube tree house bothering you?
Of course, it bothers me.
Min Gyung. Go and get ready for work. I'll do it.
- Will you do it alone? - You take time for make-up.
What made you pull your punches?
Gosh.
We have to take care of each other.
I almost forgot. Sook Jung.
My college friends will meet up at the restaurant.
Is it okay with you?
Of course, it's okay.
I thought we should go somewhere else as you'll be uncomfortable,
but they love your food so much.
I've been doing it all along.
Why would you spend money somewhere else?
They're the ones who called for catering and paid more tips.
You liked it when you went to cater food...
as you got a salary and earned extra income.
Right. It's because I was addicted to money.
Did you want to hear that?
I'm just saying not to get drawn into their war of nerves.
Normally, it's like that with sisters-in-law.
A well-off sister-in-law is an eyesore as it hurts my pride,
and a poor sister-in-law is an eyesore as she causes trouble.
I hope the food suits your taste.
Chef Choi's food is perfect to my taste.
My mom will be 70 next month. What should I do?
Chef Choi's food made a great hit at my dad's 70th birthday.
Is that so?
The watery kimchi is good. Can you get more?
Please ask for more kimchi than the soup.
The radish is so delicious.
You're treating me like a waitress.
You look like a rich madam without the chef's uniform.
What do you mean she looks like?
She really is a rich madam now. Silly.
Hey. You guys have to get up and greet her.
How dare you just dawdle on your seat?
There's no need.
My leg!
I'm getting a cramp from sitting on the floor.
I can't get up.
It's fine. Just sit down and eat.
Do you need anything else besides watery kimchi?
Bring some more spicy soy sauce.
She's not the same woman who buttered us up for more tips.
She's completely changed.
What has changed? She still looks cheap.
That expensive hanbok is a waste.
Well, will a person suddenly look fancy in richness?
I can't stand it anymore.
- You do the rest. - You're going home?
Did you come home on purpose to make me dinner?
I need to discuss something with you.
You know I'm worried about something lately, right?
To be honest, it's about Min Gyung and Jong Woo.
Is that so?
I think we only thought of ourselves.
Jong Woo. You should move out now.
I should have said this earlier, but I'm so slow-witted.
Min Gyung. You've been through a lot.
It would've been uncomfortable to live...
with an unmarried brother-in-law.
Now that I'm here, move out and live comfortably.
Where can we go suddenly?
I'll look for a clean apartment for long-term rent.
Long-term rent?
What do you think?
It'll still be tough for Sook Jung to do chores on her own.
Though it's tough, she can't rely on you forever.
Whether she can or not, she should do it herself.
Of course.
Min Gyung. You've done a great job.
It was nothing.
Wouldn't it be nice to live on our own without minding Jong Gwon?
"A clean apartment for long-term rent"?
Who is she treating as a beggar?
Does she think I suffered all this time taking care...
of my sick parents-in-law...
to just get an apartment for long-term rent?
Isn't a rent house too small?
Even if you give it, give it later. It's for his sake.
I guess so. If I leave something under his name,
it doesn't even last him a year to ruin the whole thing.
Exactly.
I've been thinking,
but I don't plan on moving out yet.
I didn't tell you so that you can decide.
What if we do move out? There needs to be a way to make ends meet.
Jong Woo and your salary are paid through the restaurant.
He's the boss's brother. Wouldn't employees find it weird...
if he receives a salary?
Then, could you please...
ask Jong Gwon to appoint Jong Woo as the restaurant CEO this time?
- The CEO? - Jong Gwon is...
not even interested in the restaurant anyway.
Even so, isn't that asking too much of him?
That's why I'm asking you.
I almost forgot.
I got a call from the hospital.
That old woman is conscious now.
She's conscious now?
I gave my phone number to her son to contact me...
as soon as she moves to the general ward.
(A Good Supper)
Can I sleep over?
Should I just stay here with you, working at this diner?
Won't that be a pity for Young Shin?
Do you like children?
Is that your normal voice?
- Let's just go together. - Then what about your mom and dad?
I don't have the time to think of mom and dad right now.
She obviously knows that I followed in case she might make up a lie.
She got divorced because her premarital past was blown.
She's acting desperately to go down swinging!
You know me. I can never live with her.
Min Gyung!
