(Episode 88)
Your mother died because of Choi Sook Jung.
I certainly heard her brother saying he caused the accident on purpose.
So, when are you moving out?
I must be adopted as his daughter.
What?
He dropped that a long time ago.
Do you want me to take everything you have?
President Kang, Mr. Jung,
and your fame as the best Korean cuisine chef?
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
You worked hard your whole life to win fame as the best Korean food chef.
What if I reveal to the world how overrated you are?
How impudent you are.
Gyung Soo's grandmother taught me her secret recipes. I'm a skillful chef.
No. You didn't learn the essence.
Why? Because you're not from that family.
His grandmother taught a secret recipe...
to the women in the family for generations.
Unfortunately, you didn't learn that.
How do you know if I learned it or not?
I can tell when I taste your food.
Do you think it's hard?
Anyone can tell.
You know it too.
I heard your brother purposely caused the accident.
He's just a drunk who tries to extort money.
Don't act rashly, believing what he said.
Why would I ask him to kill your mother?
That's what I have to find out from now on.
Mrs. Choi is going to the restaurant, so I'll stay home.
Chef Choi will be there too,
so I'll be home until President Kang recovers.
No. I should stay home.
I'm so worried about your health.
You should go to the restaurant.
I just need Young Shin to take care of me.
I can't work, leaving you to someone else.
Young Shin is not just someone else.
Don't worry about that.
Gyung Soo must've told Young Shin about the accident.
He's rather my enemy than my child.
Tell Jong Gwon she's his daughter and ask for forgiveness.
That's the only way.
Why would I when I can't even be held legal responsibility for it?
Who asks for forgiveness merely for that?
He even forgave me for giving birth to Gyung Soo.
My days are about to come.
How can I tell President Kang Young Shin is his daughter myself?
What are you going to do if she tells him first?
I doubt she will open her mouth that easily.
Gyung Soo could spill the beans because it was his secret,
but Young Shin owes him a favor.
How can she face him again after telling President Kang the truth?
If...
I forgive Mrs. Choi, would you like me back?
When I think about the fact she caused my mom's death,
I want to take her down with my own hands.
I want to crush her most cruelly.
But...
what will happen to us if I do that?
Just answer me this.
Should I forgive Mrs. Choi?
Answer me this one question.
You don't have to forgive her just because she's my mother.
Then, why do you push me away, saying she killed my mother?
I...
I can't help it.
- I'll forgive her if you say so. - Young Shin.
Because you're my mother.
I grew up eating the food you made.
I didn't grow up eating my mom's food.
I had the food you made with a lot of effort growing up.
- Young Shin. - You are...
my mother, my lover, my friend,
and my everything in this world.
So please just say one word.
That's...
the line we can't cross.
I was even prepared to be called a shameless, brazen person...
who loves the girl he raised.
I had prepared myself to stand that...
for you.
I'd also decided to trade the whole world...
for you.
I'm not just your whole world.
You've already become...
my whole world too.
Once,
you asked me what it feels like...
to be in love with someone.
The person who gave birth to me...
made your mother pass away.
I can't be over that.
I can stand finger-pointing,
but I'm not ready to feel bad...
every time I see you.
When you first came here,
you looked fragile and weak...
and were afraid of being abandoned by me.
Now, you can't leave me because I raised you.
Watching you like that, I wonder what it's like to lose a mother...
at a young age.
Mr. Jung.
Sook Jung is the one...
who made you that way.
And I am...
her son.
Then, I'll take finger-pointing.
I love the son of the person who made my mom die.
I'll stand being called shameless, inhuman...
- for it. - Young Shin.
I'll endure feeling bad for my dead mom.
Because I'd rather not lose you.
That's how prepared I am for my love.
Can't you...
just tell me you love me at least?
Young Shin seems to love you so much.
What is it like to love someone?
I guess one can love someone, putting their existence on the line.
Mr. Lee.
What should I do about Young Shin?
And what should I do?
You must've been worried if you made the Diner family perplexed.
Let's go in.
How shocked they must be.
Let's let time solve that matter.
- What brings you here, then? - Young Shin.
If someone caused an accident to kill your mother on purpose,
you must think about why.
I am.
Why don't you think about your father?
Is it because he left you and your mother?
If you want to find out why Mrs. Choi did this,
you have to think about your father.
Do you think I have a father out there?
Of course, you do.
Then, why hasn't he looked for me?
If he's alive, then why?
You could go looking for him.
If your grandmother didn't say that he passed away,
you should assume that he's alive.
When I recover a bit more,
I'd like to go fishing with you.
What are you thinking about?
Are you worried about something?
My mother passed away, but I should have a father out there.
What kind of man could my father be?
Is that what you were thinking?
Why would my father leave my mother?
Anyway, he abandoned my mother and me, so I was trying not to be curious,
but it crossed my mind today.
Do you want to find your father?
He probably has a family by now.
He would probably be shocked if I approached him out of nowhere.
That could be true.
If you stay sitting in the wheelchair, you'll lose strength in your legs,
and you'll have trouble digesting food, so you should walk a little.
Should we?
Shouldn't you be lying down?
Young Shin is preparing food just right for my taste...
and helps me exercise, so I've gotten better.
What a relief.
Sit down for a minute.
Young Shin wants to find her father.
Her father?
He abandoned Young Shin and her mother,
so he probably has another family, but in Young Shin's point of view,
of course, she wants to find him.
Then, you should ask Manager Oh.
Should I?
Of course, you should ask him for that.
It's not like you can find him yourself.
Should I, then?
You walked more than yesterday.
I think so too.
Go in and rest before your meal.
Okay, let's do that.
Young Shin, I'm going to call someone over.
You should talk to him.
- About what? - He's been like family to me all my life.
You can speak with him candidly.
You can look for him first and then decide if you want to meet later.
I'm talking about your father.
President Kang.
I came per President Kang's request.
Hello.
Please tell me what you know about your father.
Actually, I don't know much about him.
Then, tell me about your childhood as best as you can remember.
Who did you live with, and when, where, and how did you live with them?
If you don't know the place name, then any characteristics of the area.
Anyway, you can tell me everything you remember.
I heard that I lived with my grandmother from a young age.
What did your grandmother do for work?
She didn't do any particular work.
She wasn't a seller at a market,
and I'm not sure how she made a living.
Are you sick now too?
Why are you napping so much?
It's been hard for me too. I want to rest...
now that I don't have to worry about Jong Gwon.
What did you do to deserve rest? Go out and find a house.
Jong Gwon won't forgive us this time.
You go out and find one.
What are you going to do now?
Why are you asking me that? You've figured it out all this time.
What money do we have to buy a house and groceries?
Jun Young gets paid at the cafe. We won't starve.
How much do you think his salary would cover?
I can just work as a driver again.
Have you heard anything else from the investigator?
Why?
We got punished for trying to stop him from finding his daughter,
so we should find her and look for a way out.
Everything's in Manager Oh's hands. I'm not involved in that anymore.
What are you doing?
I had him walk this afternoon to get some exercise,
but his legs hurt because he walked too much.
I'll do it, so you should leave.
Why did you make her rub your legs?
She's like a daughter to me anyway.
When you were gone,
I drank because I couldn't fall asleep,
but she said it's too dangerous to drink and was rubbing my legs until I slept.
Are you more comfortable with her now?
No way.
Min Gyung, come talk with me.
What are you going to do now? Are you looking for a home?
Don't do that. Let's get along.
What do you mean by that?
Where are you going to go? Do you have a place?
Jong Gwon told us to leave the house.
Aren't I the one who should convince him?
In return, you should help me with something.
What do I have to do?
We need to get Young Shin out of the house.
I went to see a fortune-teller,
and they said his recovery is slow because there's a lodger in the house.
A fortune-teller?
I didn't know you believed in that.
I didn't think of it until I heard it, but now that I see her in the house,
it makes me feel so uncomfortable. You know, that's how people are.
Then, just tell her to leave.
He doesn't want to make her leave.
So?
What are you asking me to do?
Tell him that Young Shin...
knew who he was when he first went to the Diner,
but she approached him because she wanted to be the heir.
- Me? - No, Jong Woo goes fishing, right?
You can just say that Jong Woo heard that from a villager.
Are you really doing this because you're afraid of a fortune?
I feel uncomfortable.
I want to do everything that could improve his health.
If you and I work together, there's nothing we can't accomplish.
I had been pushing you away because of Gyung Soo,
but now I don't have any reason to hate you.
Let's rely on each other and take care of the family.
You all are unbelievable.
You've already gone days without talking about Young Shin.
Just eat.
Mr. Jung.
What are you going to do about Young Shin?
I'm waiting for Young Shin's feelings to subside.
- What if they never do? - I just told you to eat.
I want everyone to share their opinions about this.
Are we studying right now? Is this a meeting?
Aren't you surprised that nothing changed after hearing that?
- I approve. - Mang Soon.
I just shared my opinion because you said to.
If nothing works, they can just live in another village.
- Mang Soon! - How dare you yell at her?
Who would know any different if they move to another village?
Being afraid of people's opinions isn't the biggest problem.
I'm going to go in and rest.
Stay seated.
We need to talk about this with you here if we want to solve the problem.
If we talk about it without you,
it'll just be gossiping.
Why aren't you staying quiet?
You, come outside with me.
- Did Mr. Jung commit a sin? - Yes, he did.
Do you think you've lived your life without committing any sins?
If you're such an ethical person, why did you dump Da Jung?
Why are you bringing that up again?
Mr. Lee, Se Jin, and Da Jung are there, but you got jealous of Mr. Jung,
so you rolled your eyes like that.
Is that such a wonderful thing to do?
What?
You're not the only one distressed.
Everyone is watching because they're careful.
Why do you think it only hurts you?
Ask anyone on the street if this makes sense!
Nobody said it does!
Your grandmother said so.
My grandmother?
She couldn't have gone senile.
She thinks it's weird too, so she said they should live out of town!
You...
Don't come for dinner from tomorrow.
Do you think I come to see you?
I've gotten better thanks to you, so now I can even come here.
You'll be tired if you sit here for too long,
so think of it as getting some fresh air and let's go back soon.
You're here, President Kang.
Have you been well all this time?
Yes.
How is your health?
I have to watch my diet, so I can't eat here.
But I wanted to see you since I was around.
You must've had a hard time...
after finding out that she was your birth mother.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner.
You know how I like Young Shin and you.
Can we treat each other just as before?
I'd be grateful if you would.
When I think that you are her son,
in a sense, I feel relieved.
President Kang.
I'll go first. Have dinner here before you come.
I should take you home.
I've gotten better, thanks to you.
I'm sorry for causing confusion last time.
I was flustered, to be honest. But what can we do?
If you try to stop things by force,
things can get entangled and work in a strange way.
How could you say that, Mang Soon?
The reason I approved of it...
is that someone has to stand by Young Shin.
She means...
that there's no reason for Young Shin not to see us feeling uncomfortable...
about what she said.
Young Shin.
I'm afraid I'll have to oppose it.
I have to protect you from the hardships of the world.
Mang Soon said they could live in another town.
Even if they lived on the stars,
not just another town, it'd be bringing trouble on yourself.
Will you just be in love?
You have to get married and have kids too.
If the kids grow up,
they'll be curious about how their parents have lived.
You'll have to say, "Dad raised your mom, actually."
Do you think that makes sense?
She must be really upset.
Young Shin. Se Jin is genuinely worried about you.
Yes, I know.
Why did you have to get so upset?
You couldn't have your meal properly. Have some ramyeon.
Why is everyone trying to go off course when there is a way?
Se Jin, please be understanding of Young Shin.
I'd rather give you guys approval than allow Young Shin.
Do you mean that?
Da Jung, record this.
Are you going to use that in a trial?
What's the use? It'll be of no use if I change my mind.
Let's have the ramyeon that Oh Bok made.
You're enjoying it.
Se Jin,
have some kimchi too.
Mothers-in-law don't hassle their daughters-in-law these days...
but their sons-in-law.
I'll hassle you.
Are you really going to hassle me?
No, I didn't say I would yet.
You cook ramyeon well, Oh Bok. This is good.
If I fail to get into college, should I start a ramyeon business?
Go home.
Why are we four having ramyeon?
I'll make manduramyeon next time.
Look at you getting cheekier by the day.
When will you study when you keep making ramyeon?
If I get married and have a stable family,
I might study better.
I won't have this ramyeon.
I'll be in trouble for having a pot of ramyeon.
Listen to him talk.
Good thinking.
Stop eating, honey. I'll have the rest.
Goodness. Oh Bok makes better ramyeon than you.
Listen to you.
What are you talking about when you had dinner?
Goodness. Don't you know what time it is?
That's why the air was heavy in the Diner these days.
Don't be too upset that I can't take you to the Diner.
I'm not a kid. Don't worry about it.
What do you think I should do for Young Shin?
Whether you approve of it or not,
what matters more than that is being concerned about her.
I'll be concerned too.
Let's think about this together.
Now I'm doing everything with you.
My mom wants to have a meal with Mang Soon.
With my mother?
Really? She must've got her mother's approval.
That's why she wants to have a meeting of the two families.
What do you mean by that?
It's how the parents of both families meet...
before their kids get married.
Really?
I'm so proud of you, Yong Goo.
You did it.
Goodness.
President Kang asked for you.
He must have something to say.
It must be going well looking for your father.
Why would Sook Jung be so happy about finding your father?
Come have a seat.
I just got a call from Manager Oh.
It seems you'll get to hear news about your father.
Really?
Don't you know your father's name yet?
No, I don't.
It must be Choi Sang Ho.
- Choi Sang Ho? - Yes.
You might be able to see him soon. Let's wait for it.
(A Good Supper)
That's great news.
It's so meaningful for the Diner family.
I will devote my life to living in love with Pil Sun.
Why does it matter so much for you to send Young Shin out?
Are you going to tell her someone else is her father?
You want me to lie to Jong Gwon?
Would you rather have us kicked out?
What?
Don't ever say it to others.
That woman's greed knows no bounds.
Do you want to see my dad too?
I don't think I will.
