Song Joo. What are you doing?
Your dad looks so handsome.
Song... Song Joo.
Why are you both so surprised?
Sleep in your beds.
Well...
Hey... What now?
Dad.
Say we won't have breakfast.
No. Next time.
Why aren't you eating?
Did you leave the hospital?
They said I couldn't, but I insisted.
Why do they want to keep me when I'm okay?
Since you ended up there,
you should stay until you fully recover.
I wanted to but...
I can't.
Because of our meals? You don't have to worry.
We ate well last night.
- Right, Dong Hyun? - Right.
You don't have to worry about us.
So you ordered jajangmyeon and fried chicken?
We only eat that every now and then.
Isn't that much okay?
It's not okay.
To detox what you ate last night,
All this isn't enough.
Eat up.
Still, it's not like we're cattle.
We can't eat a whole trayful of vegetables.
Stuff your face until you digest it.
Song Joo.
Can I just skip breakfast?
- Why? - I can't stomach this.
You can if you swallow. Eat.
Gosh, do you think this is bland?
- Pass me the salt. - Okay.
My gosh. This should be enough.
- There. - That much?
There.
Gosh, now it's too salty.
What then?
- I'll get some water. - No, no.
Let's eat and if it's too salty, add water yourself.
- That'll do. - Right?
Oh, dear. Let's eat.
Let's go.
Where's Mom? Still in bed?
She's practicing.
She'll eat breakfast later.
Dad, see if you can stop her.
She never does something halfway.
She'd rather just not do it at all. Now that she started,
she'll do the best she can.
What is this mess?
She doesn't sleep much...
nor eat on time.
Dad, what if Mom gets sick?
All trainees do that.
You want to be a singer and you know less than me.
Your mom's album might come out soon.
An album? So soon?
Composers are lining up...
hoping to give her one of their songs.
You two need to take cues from her.
Especially Il Lan.
You can't get anything in the world without hard work.
Look at Mom.
She's 45 and trying hard...
to make her dream come true.
Wait. She wanted to be a singer?
She never talked about that.
When she was in a band,
everyone in Incheon knew about her.
Why did she quit that band?
I don't know.
She said she didn't quit because she wanted to.
Exactly. That's what I always wanted to know.
What on earth happened?
All sorts of things happen in the human world
There are all kinds of lives
No one is noble, no one is base
Fortune-tellers, research scientists
Dad's not in. He must've left.
Really? I didn't hear him leave.
Did he leave at dawn?
I think your dad's upset about yesterday.
Too bad.
You can't say that.
He was really good to you and So Young.
I know I should be respectful,
but we can't talk for over 10 minutes.
He never tries to listen to anyone.
He always condemns and scolds.
He's impossible to communicate with.
That's because he was like that his whole life.
You should understand.
No, I can't understand.
If he knows he's a problem, he should try and change.
Don't worry. No harm will come to you.
Are those Dad's?
I'll take them to him on my way to work.
Welcome.
Did you eat breakfast?
Here's some food.
I brought it as Mom was worried.
She's not worried.
Leave it there.
Dad.
Can't you just eat out for lunch?
What?
Think about it. Mom works now too.
Must you make her pack your lunch?
Did she make you say that?
Because she wants to stop packing lunch?
Don't be so insistent.
This thermal lunch box contains rice and soup.
Keep these in the fridge.
These are braised beef and summer radish kimchi.
I don't need this. Take it all away.
Dad!
Why do you think I work so hard?
Do you think I'm a waste of food too?
- We really can't talk. - What?
I don't want to argue with you. Do you know why?
If we argue, you just make things worse for Mom.
Listen.
You can't do this to me if you know the truth.
The truth?
Knowing the truth won't change anything.
Whatever anyone says, I'm Mom's son.
Did I say you're not?
Treat Mom better from now on.
Please.
The truth?
Knowing the truth won't change anything.
Whatever anyone says, I'm Mom's son.
- You have a parcel. Hello. - Hi.
- For Cha Jin Ok? - Yes. Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
(Cha Jin Ok)
"Sender Cha Jin Ok, recipient Cha Jin Ok"?
Is she demented or something?
What is she doing?
I organized the cosmetics...
sold on each home shopping channel.
They're sold quite late at night.
You think that 9am is when housewives...
(Husband)
I'm in a meeting.
Late at night...
Sorry.
What is this about?
A parcel? I sent that.
Why? Can't I do that?
I wanted to give myself a present on my first payday.
Yes, I wanted to get myself something.
You should've gotten me something instead.
If you don't have parents, treat your husband instead.
I practically raised you, so of course...
Hello?
Hey. Cha Jin Ok.
Fine.
Now you even hang up on me?
Darn you.
Hello, Master Sagong.
I was in practice, so I missed your call.
I'll see you at your center.
Mi Rae.
Do you still meet Master Sagong?
Master Sagong?
The man who stood you up, right?
Did Master Sagong stand you up?
You don't need to know about that.
Why do you still meet him?
You don't need to know about that.
Anyway,
didn't Master Sagong say he's going to produce a musical?
I did hear something along those lines.
While I was with the director.
Is it on?
He's a teacher. He seems to be thinking about it.
Why worry when the school's his?
Why is the school his?
His grandfather is board president of Jangsa Girls' High School.
Really?
You didn't know that?
Not at all.
Gosh.
Dong Hyun.
Where are you going?
I went to Mom's but the door was locked.
You don't know the passcode?
I did, but I guess she changed it.
Wow. It's really good.
Is it?
I don't cook often, but when I do, I cook a treat.
My mom too.
Which one? Your birth mom? Stepmom?
Why are you so stupid?
It's okay.
They're both good cooks but with different specialties.
Like how?
My mom cooks the food I like.
Song Joo cooks what's good for health.
So which do you prefer?
Of course, he'd prefer his mom's.
What kind of question is that?
Your stepmom.
Does she know you're here right now?
Yes. She'll call me soon.
Here?
An auntie's house.
I'm with friends.
Yes.
I'll go to class after I meet my mom shortly.
Bye.
That's crazy.
She's not a bad person.
Hello, son.
Hey.
What's wrong? What's going on?
Why did you change the passcode without telling me?
Did I not tell you?
I thought I did.
I must've been preoccupied.
Were you upset?
No.
I couldn't get in earlier, so I was on my way back home...
when I met the twins and hung out with them.
Did you?
Were they nice to you?
- Why won't you answer? - What's the point?
It'll be that woman.
You can't call her that.
Dong Hyun.
I know you have complaints, but you can't do this anymore.
You should...
start calling her "Mom".
Why?
You left my place to go back to her...
because of how I treated you.
Because she treated you better.
Nothing in this world is perfect.
You have complaints about me, your birth mom.
Of course, you'd have some about her.
Yes, but...
she calls every 30 minutes. It's annoying.
It's because she cares about you.
You should get used to it.
The more you complain, the more you find to complain about.
Things about the positive things.
Mom. Am I a nuisance now?
What are you saying?
It's not that.
Yes, it is like that.
That's why you changed the passcode.
Dong Hyun.
I won't bother you anymore.
I won't visit out of the blue.
Hello?
He came over a while ago...
and just left.
Let him loose once in a while.
I'm afraid he might get into real trouble.
I told you to tell me before you visit your...
What's wrong, Dong Hyun? Are you hurt?
No.
I fell off my bike in the road.
Let me see. I'll put ointment on it for you.
No, leave it.
I can manage.
I'm not feeling well, so I'm skipping class.
Okay then.
What about dinner?
Did you eat with your mom?
How do you know I was there?
What? Well...
She called me.
Why?
To ask how I'm doing.
- Liar. - What?
Yes, 450,000 dollars.
Okay, I'll call you back.
Honey.
What's the matter?
I have no energy to talk.
I'll sit here just for a while.
Did you have another tough day?
I have to go out again tomorrow.
Where are you going when you're in this state?
I don't know,
there's some gig in the countryside.
Some kimchi festival.
All I want to do right now is stretch out and sleep.
Honey, what if I die before even recording an album?
Why would you say something like that?
Here, drink some water. Drink up.
Shall we give up then?
Give up?
Are you kidding me?
That's just nonsense.
"Fight to the death and you live. Fight to live and you die."
You saw last time.
I complained and got you a meeting with a composer.
I'll see what I can do about this situation.
Trust me, okay?
Is that the home of Kang Dong Hyun who's in...
Jeil Middle School Year 2 Class 3?
That's right. What's this about?
Is the boy at home right now?
Who are you?
He was riding a bike.
He rode into my parked car, scratched it and just rode off.
What?
You should've left your number on the car.
It was an accident,
and the car wasn't that badly scratched.
My injury's more serious.
That's just lack of common sense.
You're 15 years old.
You must take responsibility for your actions.
Even if it was a mistake,
you left the scene, and that's a hit-and-run.
What? A hit-and-run?
Oh, really?
Was the child not hurt?
- Pardon? - Your car was parked.
If the kid rode into it on a bike,
he could've gotten hurt.
Aren't you going to meet the kid...
out of concern of his injuries?
What?
I am worried about the kid and some other things.
I'll come over once everything's settled.
Sorry.
I thought she was hard-headed and self-centered.
That's unusual.
Will you stop crying?
I'm so sorry.
I can't believe my child did this.
It was an accident.
I thought it wasn't that bad.
You can't say that after scratching someone's car.
Whatever the situation, you should've left a number.
I guess he got scared and flustered.
I teach teenagers myself and...
couldn't let this go.
If you do, they might flee the scene...
after doing something worse.
I didn't flee.
You still don't get it, do you?
You were caught on camera checking out the car then leaving.
That's a hit-and-run.
Go on your knees, and say you're sorry.
He doesn't have to kneel. I think we're fine.
No. He must learn that he did wrong.
Dong Hyun, go on your knees.
I don't want to.
Not in front of everyone.
Song Joo, stop it.
I said no.
- Don't... - What?
It's my fault.
I didn't teach him well. Forgive me.
- But... - Sorry.
I'm very sorry about it all.
That's fine.
The boy's mother is very firm.
She's firm and peculiar too.
Oh, right.
Call me when you have the estimate for the repair.
Okay, I will.
- Here's my card. - Okay.
Haven't we met somewhere before?
- Us? - Yes.
I keep thinking you look familiar.
I don't remember seeing you anywhere.
I have very average looks, so I hear that a lot.
Sorry for the intrusion.
I should go.
Thanks for sparing your time.
- It's fine. - Thanks.
- Don't come out. - Okay.
Goodbye.
(Sagong Training Center)
Sagong Training Center?
It's so nice to come home after work with you.
It is. How did we end up meeting outside?
You didn't pick up your phone. I guess we still connected.
You called?
I left my phone at work.
I see. What's this?
Your dad's so mean.
This is my present.
From whom?
Who could it be from?
Can I open it?
Let's see...
Wow, these look amazing.
There's a note too.
(From Cha Jin Ok to Cha Jin Ok)
Well done, From Cha Jin Ok.
You deserve to wear these shoes.
From Cha Jin Ok to Cha Jin Ok.
(Call history)
How dare she?
She hung up on me and didn't call back.
She thinks that little of me?
Fine.
I won't come home until she begs me to.
Cup noodles for breakfast.
Cup noodles for dinner.
Does this even make sense?
I'll end this all today.
Hello?
Isn't this Cha Jin Ok's phone?
Is it?
It is.
Is she not there?
Jin Ok?
She was here before I fell asleep.
Now she's not.
What?
Hey, who are you?
Where are you?
Husband?
Why? Are you hungry? Shall I make you something?
No. Seo Jin's coming over.
Where? Here? Why?
Yes, to drop off your phone.
He doesn't have to.
Hello.
I left if because I don't get any urgent calls.
Why come all the way here to drop this off?
The thing is, I think I messed things up.
You what?
The phone rang while I was asleep.
I picked up and answered a few questions.
I think it was your husband, and he sounded angry.
- My husband? - Cha Jin Ok.
- Who are you? - Honey.
Who are you?
What are you doing? Let go.
Don't be so ignorant.
What?
Ignorant?
You don't care if your husband ate anything at all...
to hang out with a young man.
And you call me ignorant?
Honey, he's the director of my company.
I knew something was up when you started leaving for work...
in the morning with makeup on.
You did all that because you were up to no good.
- Let go. - Dad.
Oh, dear.
Jin Ok, don't touch him!
Dad! He's the senior who brought me back from Africa.
And he's the director of Mom's company.
Hello.
I answered the phone in my sleep. Sorry.
Ms. Cha had left her phone behind, so I came to give it back.
Why do you act like you're so ignorant?
What? I'm ignorant?
Now you look down on me too?
It's not that.
Fine.
You all can live happily without me.
He seems very upset.
Sorry, Seo Jin.
My dad has a fiery temper.
My gosh.
I called home.
Why come here if you didn't argue?
Did your mom say we didn't argue?
No, Dae Young did.
Dae Young and your mom ganged up against me.
They treat me like a fool.
This time,
I won't go home even if they beg.
What do you mean you won't go home?
- Our place is... - So Young.
Father. Spend the night with us.
Can I?
We have only one bedroom. Where will he sleep?
We can sleep in the living room.
You can shower first.
We'll get the bed ready.
You're letting my dad sleep in our bed?
The visiting elder always gets the master bedroom.
Says who? It depends on the circumstances.
You can't talk like that.
I know my dad very well.
You should take him home.
If he came here late at night,
there must be a good reason.
It's just for one night. Is that such a problem?
Stop complaining and go to sleep, ma'am.
Whatever.
So you insist you did nothing wrong?
Yes.
Hey. Dong Hyun.
What did I do that's so wrong?
Am I a criminal?
You committed two grave crimes.
You scratched someone's car. That's property damage.
Fleeing the scene without a report...
is against the Special Cases Act on Settlement of Traffic Accidents.
Is that true?
I looked it up.
Dad.
Is that true?
Yes.
She's right this time.
I didn't do it on purpose.
I thought it would be okay.
Maybe you did back then.
But now you know it's not.
Then you should beg for forgiveness.
Say you're sorry and kneel.
Then I'll forgive you.
Song Joo, he knows he made a mistake.
Stop corning him and...
The more you love a kid the stricter you must be.
How can you educate him if you let him drag you around?
He won't admit his mistake.
Dong Hyun, say you're sorry.
If it's wrong, then it is.
- Dad. - Do it.
Go on your knees.
Why should I kneel?
I don't want to. The man said I didn't have to.
If you keep this up, you lose the right to be forgiven.
Do whatever you want. I won't listen to you anymore.
Dong Hyun, get out here!
Fine.
I'll show you what you did wrong.
Is that the police? Hello.
I want to report a student who committed a hit-and-run.
Hey, Seol Song Joo.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Father, why are you out here?
Why are there so many people in this tiny sauna?
I go inside but you're never there.
Don't you see I'm trying to educate your son?
How dare you? Do you think that little of me?
What should I do?
Divorce Song Joo and live with Mom.
