(Horang Art Academy)
(Episode 25)
Gosh, what should I do?
Ho Rang, why are you out here?
Kang San.
Where is Jan Di?
Kang San, the thing is...
What's wrong, Ho Rang?
Did something happen to Jan Di?
Jan Di went to find Sun Ju.
What?
What do you mean? She went to find Sun Ju?
So? Did she find her?
It wasn't Sun Ju.
So where is Jan Di?
Where is she now?
In the classroom. She's with Ms. Ok now.
Gosh, seriously...
(Horang Art Academy, Art helps children become more imaginative and creative!)
Why?
- Jan Di! - Mr. Geum.
Dad.
Are you okay?
Why wouldn't I be?
Jan Di, it's okay.
It's all right.
Dad, what's the matter?
I'm sorry. Dad is so sorry.
What? It got scratched.
Darn, it must've happened when I hit a fat shot earlier.
- Hi, Mother. Did you have to step out? - Yes.
You're back, Sang Soo.
- When did you get home? - I got home earlier.
Gosh, you even had to go out on the weekend. You must be exhausted.
What can I do?
You and Jan Di got on the wrong side of the chairman's family,
so if I want to get promoted,
I should go golfing with my clients even if I'm completely exhausted.
I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.
Anyway, did Kang San go out?
I called him earlier to ask him to help me carry my golf bag,
but he didn't pick up.
The thing is...
It's because of Jan Di.
Jan Di? Why? Did she cause trouble or something?
Oh, it's Kang San. Answer it.
Okay.
Hi, Kang San.
Where is Jan Di?
What? Are you serious?
Yes. Don't worry too much though, Mother.
Jan Di and I will be home soon.
All right.
Ho Sik, go start the car. Let's take Jan Di home.
Okay.
Don't worry about it, Ho Rang. Jan Di and I can go home on our own.
No, Jan Di isn't feeling well. I can't let you guys go alone.
I care about Jan Di as if she is my daughter, so don't reject my help.
I understand Jan Di was beyond excited upon hearing they found her mom.
But Ms. Ok could've stopped her.
I can't believe she took her there and let her get hurt.
What was she thinking?
Jan Di wants to wash her face before heading home.
Ms. Ok.
Can we talk?
Sorry?
(Parking Enforcement Camera)
Well, Mr. Geum.
You must've been so worried.
I really had no idea something like this would happen.
Jan Di told me she found her mom,
but she couldn't reach her family.
- So I panicked, thinking it was urgent... - If that was the case,
you really shouldn't have taken her there.
If you couldn't reach Jan Di's family,
you should've consulted Ms. Jang first as she knows the family's situation well.
Pardon me?
Since Jan Di's mother disappeared ten years ago,
I've been through this countless times.
"It's got to be real this time. It must be her." I'd get my hopes up...
only to fall deep into despair, over and over again.
I'm sorry.
So I know the pain...
I know how painful it is.
And that's why...
I didn't want Jan Di...
to experience such pain.
I apologize again.
I really should've been more thoughtful.
Ms. Ok.
Would you do me a favor?
Please refrain from getting involved in matters concerning Jan Di.
Pardon me?
You can continue to teach her art.
But with everything else,
please be very careful.
You can do that, right?
Yes. I'm sorry.
It wasn't Ms. Ok's fault.
Jan Di.
She did nothing wrong.
I insisted on going there.
And I asked her not to say anything about it to you.
So don't be mean to Ms. Ok.
- Jan Di. - Dad.
If you're angry, you can just scold me.
It's all my fault.
Jan Di.
I'm sorry for not keeping my promise.
Why are you sorry?
It's not like you told him.
What?
It's true.
Kang San, you were so harsh on Ms. Ok.
She must've been so surprised and worried too.
He was not harsh on her.
Of course, Kang San had to say those things to her.
Ho Rang, try putting yourself in her shoes.
She must've felt so embarrassed and guilty.
That's why she said no when we offered to drive her home and took a taxi.
Well... I know, but...
Ms. Ok knows how badly Jan Di wants to find her mom.
That's why she couldn't say no to Jan Di...
and went with her.
Gosh. What should I do with you?
It's not like I don't understand why Ms. Ok did what she did.
But if Ho Rang hadn't told me,
I would've never found out what Jan Di went through today...
- even though I'm her father. - That's right.
Hey, it's not like Ms. Ok deceived you on purpose.
Right, Jan Di?
Thanks, Ho Sik.
- Thanks, Ho Rang. - No problem. Go on in.
Jan Di, you must be exhausted. Go inside and get some rest.
Thank you. Get home safely.
- All right. - Jan Di, I'll see you at the academy!
Aren't you coming, Dad?
Why did you want to come here?
When you were little,
you played here very often. Do you remember?
Of course, I remember.
Whenever you cried because you missed Mom,
I brought you here and put you on the swing set, then you stopped crying.
Do you remember that too?
You know,
whenever I come here,
I'm reminded of your mom even more.
Even though over a decade has passed.
By the way, why did you want to come here out of the blue?
To reminisce about Mom?
Jan Di.
You must've been...
very upset today.
I know how disappointed you must've been.
Why did Ms. Jang eavesdrop on my conversation...
and tell you all about it?
Because I should know, as your dad.
Jan Di.
From now on, even if someone tells you that they found Mom,
you shouldn't meet them without me in secret. Okay?
I didn't mean to hide it from you.
I couldn't call you because you left your phone at home.
By the way,
why did you ask Ms. Ok to keep it from me?
So she tried to hide it from me, and I got the wrong idea.
You went there to find Mom.
Why did you want to hide it from me?
Because I didn't want to see you upset.
I'm totally fine, you see.
I did it because I thought you'd overreact and get all worried.
Jan Di.
I don't like it when I see you cry, Dad.
That's why I did it.
That poor thing. She must've been so disappointed.
I know. She must've been very excited, thinking she finally found her mom.
What is this, torture by hope? It's been ten years.
Let's be honest. The chances of Sun Ju being alive are very slim.
Sang Soo!
It's true. It's just so disappointing every time this happens.
Just thinking that she's dead...
is way better for Jan Di's sake too.
- There they are. - Grandma!
My gosh, Jan Di.
Oh, dear. Why did you go there?
You must've been so upset, my sweetie pie.
No. I'm fine, Grandma.
Gosh, my dear Jan Di.
Geum Jan Di. Do not answer such calls, and don't meet those people from now on.
I only went there myself because none of you answered when I called.
Hey, that can't be an excuse.
Stop.
That's enough. It is all my fault.
Gosh, my poor baby.
I really am fine. Stop overreacting.
Grandma, I want to go inside.
All right.
You must be tired. Go inside, get changed, and rest up.
Okay.
Kang San, Jan Di is such a tough cookie.
Se Chan would be bawling his eyes out.
She certainly takes after Sun Ju.
Sang Soo, how could you say that right now?
What? Look at her.
She's just like Sun Ju.
She's acting tough,
but she must be so heartbroken now.
- Are you all right? - Yes, of course.
(Vacant)
Ju Hyuk.
No, my brother-in-law.
Don't you worry about a thing, brother-in-law.
I've got your back.
My true friend, Dong Ju Hyuk,
wants to marry my beloved sister, Mi Rae.
I'll help you two so you can get married, no matter what.
Even if my grandpa is against it, it doesn't matter. You can count on me.
All right, thanks.
But your wife will yell at you for drinking a lot.
Choi Soo Ji? Goodness.
She thinks she can boss me around because she's older than me.
She always talks politely to her son,
yet she's so rude to me, her husband.
How dare she. I should teach her a lesson.
My goodness.
My dear husband.
How about I scold you politely, then?
Soo Ji, why did you come out?
I was waiting for you, my dear husband.
I was wondering when you'd be home, so I came out to check.
I'm sorry, Soo Ji. We had a drink together.
Ju Hyuk, you seem totally sober.
My gosh. I guess you made Jae Hyun drink too much.
Well, he drank more than I did.
You can drink me under the table, on top of everything else.
Be it studying or drinking. I've never once won against this guy.
That's not something you should be bragging about.
I should get going.
Hey, your father is here.
Come inside and have another drink with me.
Another drink? No way! You're already so drunk.
Jae Hyun, I should go home.
Hey, you don't want to see Mi Rae?
She's not home right now.
Did Mi Rae go out?
She's not back yet. I thought she went out to see you.
Gosh, try to sober up.
Ju Hyuk, let's go inside.
President Dong is inside too.
Come on in. Let's have another drink.
- Gosh, you're the bane of my existence. - Hey, that hurts.
Ju Hyuk.
What are you doing here at this hour?
What about you? Where have you been?
Oh, it's...
Chairman Hwang is very worried about you.
Take good care of him.
Thanks for your concern. By the way, Kyu Chul.
Yes.
Mi Rae will be shocked if she finds out that we talked about getting married.
Let's make sure the kids never find out about it.
Please.
Don't worry.
And even if Mi Rae finds out,
it won't be a problem if her relationship with Ju Hyuk is solid.
Well, that is true.
- Ouch. - My gosh!
Try to walk straight, will you?
I am walking straight. What is the matter with you?
Hey, Jae Hyun! Did you drink?
He kept tripping and falling nonstop.
He's so drunk, Mother!
I was in such a good mood, so I went out for a drink with Ju Hyuk.
I promised Ju Hyuk...
that I'd make sure to help him and Mi Rae get married no matter what.
- Soo Ji, he's drunk. Take him upstairs. - Yes, Mother.
Goodness, your legs! Stop wobbling.
- Hey, it hurts. - I can't drag you up the stairs!
My gosh. You're a big guy!
So you were out with Mr. Geum's kid until now...
to find his wife?
Jan Di asked me to come with her,
and I couldn't say no.
Mi Rae. Why do you keep meddling in that family's business?
Ju Hyuk.
At this rate, we might break up.
Must you waste your time on something so useless?
What do you mean I'm wasting my time?
Everything's a waste of time unless it concerns our relationship.
If you have time for things like that, get ready to move to the US with me.
Ju Hyuk.
I can't leave. I already told you.
What's wrong?
Mi Rae, what's the matter?
Well, it's...
Did you two fight? Is that it?
No, we didn't.
Yes, Mother. We had a little argument.
She works on weekends too. I'm worried she'd be overworked,
so I advised her against it.
I see. You're just looking out for Mi Rae.
I was surprised to hear you raise your voice.
It's just a lovers' quarrel. Don't worry.
Mi Rae.
It's great that you're working hard,
but I'm against you overworking yourself too.
Okay, I won't overwork myself.
Hello, President Dong.
Are you leaving now?
Yes.
Mi Rae, you must be very passionate about your job at the academy.
Can you give up on that job and move to the US with Ju Hyuk?
No.
My job at the academy is one of the reasons.
But more importantly, I can't leave now as Grandpa is still against us dating.
I see.
Feel free to call me anytime...
if you're stressed or need someone to consult...
after Ju Hyuk returns to the US.
Okay, thank you.
This must be stressful for you guys.
But what can you do? He won't back down.
Once he approves of you,
I will create a position for you at the head office.
Thank you for looking out for me.
It's getting late. You should go back inside.
All right. Get home safely with your father.
Get home safely, President Dong.
Thanks. Go back inside.
Bye.
I suppose you think you can force me to return to the US.
Let's talk at home.
If you didn't bring your car, just come with me.
No, thanks.
That foolish brat.
How's Jan Di?
She wants to be alone.
She must have a lot on her mind, thinking about her mom.
Kang San, what do you plan to do?
What do you mean, Sang Soo?
Will you keep waiting for Sun Ju to come home?
I said this to Mother earlier.
It's not good for Jan Di's sake.
You need to pull yourself together and move on...
so that Jan Di can give up on her mother and live her life too. You know?
It's easier said than done.
It's not easy to give up and forget your own mother.
That is precisely why I'm telling Kang San to give up first.
Mom.
Sang Soo has a point.
Kang San, how much longer will you let her live like this?
What do you think, Kang San?
I feel the same way as you do, Mother.
The hope that her mom would come back was what had been keeping her together.
If I make her give up on that hope...
How could you say that after what happened today?
You should be honest with her...
so that she can give up. I believe that's the right thing to do.
And you too.
You should divorce Sun Ju first.
Sang Soo.
Divorce? What do you mean?
If your spouse has been missing for over three years,
you can file for a divorce, Mother.
He should legally end the marriage first.
That way, it'll be easier for him to move on and start afresh.
So you think he should divorce Sun Ju?
Yes.
Mom.
I don't want to do that,
so don't bring it up again. Okay?
Well... If you don't want to do it, I can't force you.
Kang San.
Grandpa!
Jae Hyun.
He's never done this before.
Jae Hyun, go upstairs at once!
Leave him be.
Let's hear what he has to say.
Okay, Father.
Grandpa, you're so mean.
I'm mean? What did I do?
You didn't approve of Soo Ji and our decision to get married.
You are so mean!
My gosh. I can't believe he came here while I was in the shower!
Gosh. I'm sorry, Grandfather. Get up!
Let go!
I need to have it out with Grandpa today.
Grandpa.
My sweet Mi Rae, my only sister!
Stop stressing her out, please. Just let her marry Ju Hyuk.
Stop being so ridiculously stubborn, okay?
"Ridiculously stubborn?"
Jae Hyun, what's with you? Don't be so rude to Grandpa.
I'm doing this because he keeps picking on you.
My gosh. Honey, have you lost your mind?
Grandpa taught me...
that an old single man can be a hundred times meaner than a divorcee.
Jae Hyun!
Oh, that's right.
Grandpa should get remarried first.
Shall I set you up with a pretty old lady?
Hey!
You have an important meeting with the buyers tomorrow.
Why did you drink so much?
Ju Hyuk invited him out earlier in the day and made him drink this much.
You're more likely to get dead-drunk when you start drinking early.
What? Ju Hyuk?
Yes.
I bet he made Jae Hyun drink this much...
and asked him to persuade you for him.
Maybe it was Mi Rae's idea.
What? Soo Ji, no. How could you say that?
Mi Rae, you should...
just count on me.
You and Ju Hyuk...
I'll make sure you two can get married, at all costs.
Oh, that's right. I should sing at your wedding.
Jae Hyun, please don't do this.
Goodness. What a mess.
Look how your childish decision is affecting the whole family! Gosh.
I'm sorry, Grandpa.
Soo Ji, hurry up and take him upstairs.
Yes, Mother.
- Get up. Gosh. At this rate, - No. Ju Hyuk and Mi Rae...
- I'll end up with a herniated disk. - are getting married.
Come on, Jae Hyun.
- Come here. - Gosh, seriously!
I should sing at their wedding.
Gosh, come on.
Oh, dear.
Hey, Ju Hyuk.
You're still up.
Goodness. If you're that worried about me, don't stay out so late.
I'm sorry, Auntie Kyu Sun.
By the way, did you really decide to return to the US by yourself?
What?
Is that what Father said?
What? Oh, yes.
Oh, Doo Ho.
Did something happen today?
I heard the family talking for a while in the yard earlier.
Jan Di went out to find her mom...
but couldn't find her.
She must've been so disappointed.
If she just cried in front of me,
I wouldn't be so heartbroken now.
When you miss someone, nothing can really comfort you.
"I'm sure she's doing fine, wherever she may be."
"She must be a thousand times happier..."
"than when she was with me."
Thinking like that...
will help you lighten your heavy heart.
Tell that to your daughter too.
It'll comfort her, Kang San.
Okay.
Mom...
