(Episode 7)
It's not what I wanted, but thank you for today.
You may think you're okay now, but if you're home alone...
I'll get emotional again.
It may not be such a bad idea to stay with Eun Hee for a while.
I don't know where she lives.
I'll take care of it, so go in.
Do you want to say something?
I remember the first time I saw you.
Me?
When did you first see me?
When your father was hospitalized for a while after an accident,
Jong Min and I went over often...
since Ji Woo was home alone and he was only in grade school.
It was when I was working as a substitute teacher.
We first met at our home, right?
No. I...
first saw you in the park in front of your place.
Rock-paper-scissors. Loser goes to buy ramen.
- Rock... - Wait.
- Okay. - Darn it.
- Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! - Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
- Yes! - Yes!
I always lose.
You teamed up on me, didn't you?
Are you two dating or something?
Are you insane? Don't be stupid.
Whatever. Get going.
I always lose.
Someone was sitting alone, crying, in an empty corner of the park.
She looked even sadder because the sun was setting.
She was still there...
when I got back from buying the ramen.
That person...
was you.
You're home. You didn't eat yet, right?
- Hello. - Hello.
The person who was crying alone in the park just minutes ago...
walked in eating ice cream like nothing was wrong.
I don't remember.
I wasn't doing very well back then.
Don't most people cry alone?
Eun Hee calls people to let the world know she's crying.
I really don't get her.
You should try it then. Don't cry alone.
If you need someone to cry to, call me.
I don't think I will.
Then look at the wedding pictures...
that I took for you sometime when you're alone.
A photographer sees and hears...
a lot at a wedding.
I'm a bit flustered...
given my situation.
If by chance, you are burying certain emotions,
it may be good for you to look at them again.
Sure, I'll do that when I have time. You should go in.
Don't tell me...
you told my sister yourself.
I did not.
Was she your companion on your trip to Goheung?
Let's go eat. I'm hungry.
Later.
Okay.
Did you go to Goheung with Chan Hyuk? What about Eun Hee?
Eun Joo, what is it?
Did you and Chan Hyuk go to Goheung alone?
You know where Eun Hee lives, right?
Yes.
Darn it.
Sook, I'll take that...
Sook, I'll do that.
Why weren't you coming in?
I was debating whether to get oriental melons...
or clementines.
I only made one run today from Incheon to Incheon.
I'm thinking of taking orders during time slots others avoid.
So I won't be able to come home very often.
I heard you live apart once you graduate from marriage,
but I don't know when to start.
Did you find the letter that you said I wrote?
Well... So the thing is...
I'm looking for it.
How can you find something that doesn't exist?
I never put a letter in with your lunch.
Are you sure you got your memory back?
That's right.
I remember everything.
I know I'm a jerk...
and the biggest scumbag in the world.
But why are you saying you never wrote me that letter?
I remember it clearly.
Let's talk about it at home.
"Sang Shik, eat slowly and chew thoroughly."
"I'm too embarrassed to say it, so I am writing it instead."
"I love you."
I memorized it. Don't treat me like an idiot!
If you got your memory back, tell me...
why you did that.
Tell me...
why you went up the mountain that night.
Did you really try to kill yourself?
(Treatment Journal)
(Write down your current emotions. I want to die.)
Don't cry.
Sook, don't cry.
I'm sorry.
What is wrong with you?
Do you want to see me go insane?
Doing this won't make me give up.
Not a chance.
I'll never settle for this life again.
I'm not going to die.
I'm going to live for more than 100 years.
And don't sell this place.
I worked so hard to buy it. You can't sell it.
Don't even think about using this apartment to hold me back.
I won't stop you, so don't worry.
So you remember when you were 22?
Do you remember neglecting our kids...
because you were busy raising another kid with your other family?
Do you remember that?
I knew you finished work, but you didn't come home.
You brought home half your pay.
They'd hang up on me if I answered the phone, but not on you.
You ran out of the house day and night.
Why don't you remember things like that?
I hate you.
I hate you so much!
How did you put up with me all these years?
How did you endure looking at me?
I did it for the kids.
It was...
over for me a long time ago.
I understand.
I'll leave.
You'll never have to see me again.
Live here.
I will...
never show my face again.
I promise.
The moment I thought I had fallen in love.
I heard something else...
pounding at my heart.
Please, don't let it be you.
My desperate plea.
You were the only one I could share this with.
I did it with the new vice president.
I think I liked Mr. Player first.
We always go to his place.
We were doing our best not to leave a trace.
I saw his girlfriend's picture.
You decided on seeing him, so leave the others out.
Why do you keep imagining her...
and making it feel like she's there?
Although I told you all those things,
I desperately didn't want you to see me...
right now.
Why are you in a bad mood?
Who says I am?
You are.
When you're mad or in a bad mood,
you eat super fast.
Did you go to Goheung with Ji Woo's eldest sister?
Not with that girl Eun Hee?
Drop "that girl". Did Eun Hee not go?
Why do you care?
Even an idiot can tell. It's obvious you're feigning ignorance.
I'm asking because I like you.
- Seo Young. - You told my mom...
that you'd take care of me. I heard you say it.
Don't put words into my mouth.
You know that's not what I meant.
Yes, you did. You believed me when no one else did.
Even my mom thinks I lied that my rich ex raped me...
because he dumped me.
That's not it.
Your mother believes you.
No, she doesn't. She locked me up to stop me from reporting him.
What she did was wrong, but she did it to protect you.
Protect me?
I've heard it countless times that she did it all for me.
I just needed someone to believe me back then.
And that was you.
I believe you even now,
and I'll always be on your side.
Which is why I'm completely in love with you.
So I'm your responsibility.
I can't work with you if you keep behaving like this.
No, I won't.
Right? Sorry.
That was a little too much.
I'll go home now.
See you tomorrow.
Hello, I'm Im Gun Joo.
Hello, I'm Kim Eun Joo.
She's our eldest sister.
I'm the youngest, Kim Ji Woo.
I see. I'm Im Gun Joo.
Oh, I'll get going now.
I know it's my little sister's place,
but we should've called first.
Oh, no.
Eun Joo, that's not it.
See you again, Ji Woo.
See you.
- See you tomorrow. - Okay.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
I thought your love cells were all dead.
You two were totally sweet.
"See you tomorrow." Wow.
Goodness, you cutie. I'm so glad to see you.
Make her sit down. She's looking for things to criticize.
Why did you go to Goheung?
- Me? - You guys went together.
You, Eun Joo, and Chan Hyuk.
It's a little odd.
Darn, don't whisper in my ear. It's gross.
I know too. I know everything.
What do you know?
That the three of you went to Goheung.
All you have is the 20,000-dollar deposit on this place?
You spend all your salary on rent.
How do you support yourself like that? Don't you have debt?
I have an installment savings account.
I'm doing my dues and paying into my pension.
What's there to worry about?
If it's too much to handle,
I'll just move back home.
If that's your plan,
you've got to strongly oppose their separation.
They're almost about to sell the place.
They'll never be able to buy another one at that age.
Stop them from selling the house, if not their separation.
Me?
She wouldn't listen to me though.
You tell her. She listens to you.
Why, can't you give her any mean advice...
because you're always on her side?
- So you know. - There you go again.
I'll be off.
Here.
This is time to call a taxi.
You brat. Just run.
Back when I was your age,
I memorized all the bus schedules.
Even in the middle of drinking, I teleported onto the subway...
before the last train stopped running.
Don't! You'll only spoil him.
Thank you.
- Hey! - Bye.
Kim Ji Woo!
Gosh, that little...
Is it that man from earlier?
Your mistake.
My mistake? Did Chan Hyuk tell you?
You got drunk and told me, crying your eyes out.
I see.
You aren't in the situation to worry about my boy problems.
If you work at the same company, keep love and work separate.
Don't rely on him, asking for stuff.
Be individual in love.
Okay, okay.
But why did you suddenly think of coming to my place?
Tae Hyung.
Pretend you don't know...
our situation. It's going to take some time.
What? It's not like I go around telling people.
Chan Hyuk told me...
to talk to him if I need someone to talk to.
Thanks for lending me your friend.
I'll make good use of him when I need him.
You dragged him all the way there.
Thank him, at least.
Friendship needs courtesy too.
Okay, okay.
Drive safely.
(Moknam Gallery, Nam Coffee Workshop)
The person you have reached is not available.
(Chan Hyuk)
Call me, please. Bow.
Hi, Eun Hee. Good morning.
Look who this is.
What caused the change in style overnight?
Have you reverted to your rich only child image?
Nothing has changed.
I threw on anything from my closet.
Don't lie. Anyone can tell it's new.
Interview declined. Take pictures of me instead.
All right.
- Hello. - You...
My goodness, you startled me.
You didn't seem to know I was watching.
Please continue.
- All right, again. - Okay.
Again.
All right. Take this.
Are you screening Eun Hee's calls?
Do I look like I can answer the phone right now?
Oh, I apologize.
She keeps calling me because you won't pick up.
Let's hurry. We don't want to be late.
I got all scared again because you weren't here when your truck was.
What's that sad look in your face?
I moved out.
What?
Did you sleep in the truck again?
I told you to keep acting like you weren't well.
To be blunt, you still seem to be confused.
Right.
So you need to be honest with me.
About what?
Was I a crazy jerk?
What are you talking about?
Why else would I have gone up there late at night?
I got a call from a mental hospital.
It seems I had been going there regularly.
And Sook told me...
that I tried to kill myself.
Gosh.
I get that I deserve to die.
She said I had a second family. You knew, didn't you?
Tell me.
Okay.
Darn it.
To be honest, you were a little selfish.
You never told me about yourself when I shared everything with you.
That kind of felt wrong.
Don't do that. I hate it.
It's not like I've known you for decades!
You were always in your truck, writing in a journal.
Why don't you try reading it?
A journal?
(Seoul Savings Bank)
("The Bridges of Madison County")
(The phone rang.)
(Sang Shik, eat slowly and chew thoroughly.)
(I'm too embarrassed to say it, so I am writing it instead.)
(I love you.)
Give me a minute.
I'll pack the soup.
(Sang Shik, eat slowly and chew thoroughly.)
Sang Shik,
eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
I'm too embarrassed to say it, so I am writing it instead.
I love you.
(I love you.)
My gosh.
Who knew he'd still remember that to this day?
The amazing thing is,
hearing him recite what I wrote in the letter...
made me remember it too.
What's so hard about telling him that you love him,
that you never said it once?
He took the letter that she threw away...
and still memorizes it. What do you think about him?
Thank you.
I'll tell the kids.
Take care.
Like the kids care what we do.
I guess you're busy.
I have a meeting.
This is so demeaning.
Why didn't you go in first?
We're going to end up walking in side by side.
That's why I waited.
Okay.
We've been way too inattentive as of late.
Make time for me this weekend. Let's go on a date.
How could someone this hot have no one better than me to date?
I'm being considerate of you.
Oh my gosh.
Before we begin,
you can email me any proposals or suggestions...
that need immediate confirmation.
I won't be using this place anymore.
I couldn't think of anywhere else.
I can spare only 10 minutes.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you from the start.
I thought Dr. Yoon should tell you first.
Your lover took off with your money,
and you think Dr. Yoon is to blame.
Then should I apologize too?
You sound so cold.
Do you know why some people think they don't know anyone...
who's gay?
They're not trustworthy enough for people to open up to.
Should I repent for not being trustworthy?
Are you always the victim?
Must I understand you because you're always hurt...
and discriminated against?
I don't expect you to understand.
You seem busy. You should go.
You had your hard-earned money stolen.
Why won't you take the money from Tae Hyung?
You came to this town for that money.
Will I only think about money too, 10 years from now?
Eun Joo.
Have you ever been in love?
I wanted to know whom he dumped me for.
But he was a jerk...
who was married and lying to everyone he knew.
Dad!
It's super wide and super high.
The steering wheel is as big as you.
Dad.
Since you got your memory back,
did Mom ask you what happened...
on the mountain?
Neither of us said much.
Ji Woo thinks you had an accident while hiking.
So we can't talk about that when we go...
to Eun Joo's later.
Dad.
Promise you'll never do that...
ever again.
It was an accident.
That's why I'm here now.
That won't happen again.
Okay?
Okay.
I have a favor to ask you.
Sounds good. You should ask me for your favors.
Go ahead.
The picture in the living room.
The one of Sook and me.
Yes?
Would you get that for me?
Are you...
I'll explain later in front of everyone.
Sook won't want it anyway.
I want to take it.
Get me the picture, okay?
Okay.
Thanks.
"Sook"?
Still?
Dad. Tell me about the day you took the picture.
That day...
You're still 22.
That was October 13,
- 1982. - Yes.
That picture is much older than I am.
It was the day I proposed to Mom.
I did this at the coffee shop,
so people were staring. That's why Sook took the ring.
You know how shy she is.
That was the best coffee shop of the time.
They took song requests too.
A Cho Yong Pil song was on.
Dad.
That day...
I held Sook's hand for the first time.
It was very warm.
Dad. Are you sure you got your memory back?
Yes.
This is where I work.
- What? It's nice. - See you tomorrow.
- Bye. - Goodbye.
How nice.
- Right? - Yes.
Bye.
This is my father.
- Hello. - My dad.
He's our executive vice president.
I'm Im Gun Joo.
It's nice to meet you.
He's meeting my entire family.
- Please take good care of Eun Hee. - Yes, sir.
I'll get the car.
Okay.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Take your time and look around. - Thank you.
Ms. Kim!
Hello.
I heard you were working again. It's good to see you.
I hear you're freelancing.
Yes. I'm only taking on pharmaceutical company cases.
You were the best at those headaches.
You won't keep freelancing forever, will you?
Come to us. We'll treat you like a partner.
Look at me.
The managing partner is going to the Patent Office herself.
You've already gotten scouting offers.
Did Lee, Oh, and Jang contact you too?
- Yes. - You can't go there.
Oh of Lee, Oh, and Jang is gay.
He wore a floral print suit to the Patent Office.
Do you have to make it so obvious?
Come check out our office.
You have to come, okay?
You feel like everyone knows your secret...
and are laughing and judging you behind your back, right?
Don't act like you know everything, like you're wise and selfless.
The look on your face, tone of voice, everything makes me sick.
What did you think when I was trying to get pregnant?
I detested you.
I detested how you tried hard...
to have a family when you were sick and tired of yours.
You hate your family, but our family is okay?
Did you need a way to raise your status?
You're superficial.
(Eun Joo)
(Tae Hyung)
Hello?
It's me.
Hey.
Forget everything that I said.
I think I was being mean on purpose.
Hello?
Come and finish things.
Let's shut down the hospital and end things...
with us.
Let's be friends.
You're the one...
who taught me the meaning of "friends".
Who do you think...
a Native American tribe called...
"the person who carries my sadness on his back"?
A parent?
No? Even parents can't do that.
A friend.
That's what they call their friends.
Is there actually a friend who will carry my sadness...
on his or her back?
You.
(You carry...)
You carry my sadness on your back.
I'll carry your sadness.
Really? You've never been here?
Will you help Eun Joo or play with Dad?
Father. You have to see their balcony.
Really?
Is it true that Dad has never been here before?
I invited him a few times, but he always had to work.
Then he should've continued to not come.
No. You keep living here. Don't move out.
You claim it.
Dad! Ji Woo! Let's eat!
Eat, Father.
Okay.
My eldest daughter...
has the same taste buds as I do.
You have my eyes too.
You're smart. There's nothing you can't do.
Hey.
What's wrong?
Lucky you.
But why don't Ji Woo and I have double eyelids?
Are we not Dad's kids?
I get double eyelids when I'm tired.
You do? When have you ever been tired?
I've never seen you with double eyelids.
Is Tae Hyung coming home after dinner?
He said he'd be home very late, so I didn't tell him.
Dad, what's your dream?
My dream?
Eating together often with my eldest daughter,
second daughter, and baby boy. That's my dream.
Not that.
You were 22.
What was your dream back then?
That?
My dream. Let's see...
I never told anyone.
It was competing at the College Music Festival.
Even if you play the guitar well, look cool playing the harmonica,
and sing really well,
you can't compete if you're not a college student.
That was my dream. A very distant dream.
So that's why you always listened to the College Music Festival songs.
Then can you play the guitar and the harmonica?
I'm not a college student, so why should I bother learning them?
Mom must be eating alone again.
Should I call her?
No.
That's why I asked you all to gather.
I...
moved out.
Don't make that face.
It's nothing serious.
I'm not as educated...
as you guys are,
and I'm ignorant, so I don't know how to say it, but...
Nothing has changed.
I'm just leaving by myself. That's all.
So listen. You be good to Mom.
Listen to her.
You guys too. Got it?
I saw your bag and documents on your desk, so I waited for you.
Aren't you glad?
I am glad.
But I really have to work.
I'm going to work through the night since tomorrow is a day off.
Okay. Work comfortably. I'll work too.
Don't feel bad at all.
Okay.
- Did your father leave? - He did.
There was a good spot for him to park his truck here.
Your father's hand was very calloused.
He reminded me of my own dad.
I just have to meet your mother now, right?
Get to work.
Okay.
I had two bouquets that day.
A photographer sees and hears...
a lot at a wedding.
(Chan Hyuk)
Here. Now tell me.
Why have you been obsessing over your phone all day?
I'll listen.
You always listen.
Well...
My friend is flat-out screening my calls and texts.
You did something wrong.
Why do you think that?
From your choice of words, "flat-out screening".
"He's flat-out screening my calls, but I won't give up."
Why not? Because you did something wrong.
Do you want to apologize?
I don't think I did anything that I need to apologize for.
That's for the other person to decide.
Don't just call. Make the effort and go see your friend in person.
Counseling session over.
I'm a man now.
I don't want to be a man that gets jealous of a friend.
So go see that friend and apologize,
and then come to me.
Okay, let's do that.
Whatever.
Who is it?
It's Ji Woo.
Hey. What time is it?
Let's make this my bedroom and not the office, at least until 8am.
I don't like employees that come in too early.
And I don't like companies that make me work on weekends.
Go back to sleep if you're tired.
What's wrong?
I stressed about it all night and couldn't sleep.
You and I should ignore Eun Joo's secret.
We weren't letting on that we knew, so why all of a sudden?
Last night,
our father gathered us at her place.
What? Why out of the blue?
Our parents graduated from marriage.
My gosh.
Anyway, let's pass that for now.
We were having dinner,
and our dad looked at Eun Joo with so much love.
"My eldest daughter has the same preference in food as I do."
"She has my eyes too."
He was totally acting like her biological father.
You had to see him.
He was shooting hearts with his eyes.
It was the real deal.
Whether or not someone has your DNA...
is not that important.
Let's forget that.
Maybe you misheard him.
That's it. You're right. I misheard them.
Let's settle it as that.
- Chan Hyuk. - What now?
Why are you screening Eun Hee's calls?
She's bugging me.
She calls at bad times.
You're screening her ever since you went to Goheung together.
Why did the three of you go there? Why?
The three of you went,
but you and Eun Joo came together and booted Eun Hee?
There was a time when you were punished...
for saying the earth was round when people said it was flat.
- That's so random. - There was a time...
when people thought cigarettes were good for you.
Come on. I'm being serious.
I'm saying you find out the truth eventually with time.
Eun Hee, Eun Joo, and I...
won't give you any answers right now.
Don't keep asking more questions. Just wait.
That's good manners.
Okay. I won't ask anything more.
You really are the best.
I should've spread that all over the world.
I'm sad that I didn't.
Eun Hee has such bad taste.
I wish I had a cool brother-in-law like you,
- and have a drink... - Hey.
Does what I want not matter?
Okay. When filming an unboxing, you just follow the items.
Split the screen into thirds,
and fill two-thirds of it.
- Okay. - Good?
- Okay. Are you ready? - Yes.
- Okay. Please proceed. - Okay.
- How do I look without makeup? - You look pretty.
I'm saying it doesn't look bad.
(Eun Hee)
- Where are you going? - You can't suddenly add sound.
Edit it out. Where are you going?
I'll pick up lunch. I choose what we eat though.
Your company must be doing well. You're busy even on a weekend.
That's why I said I'd get lunch...
since I felt bad making them work on a weekend.
You know they get annoyed if the food is late, right?
What did you want to talk about?
(Hong Jun Ok)
This place must be good. A lot of people are getting take-out.
I'm craving a drink.
Get to the point.
I want to know why you're screening my calls and texts.
I'm tired, that's why.
Are you tired because of work, something else,
or me?
You, naturally.
Why is that natural?
You know how they say throw it out if it doesn't excite you.
Are you treating me like an object?
It's a figure of speech.
The point of that statement is,
if you haven't used it or worn it for over a year,
throw it away without looking back.
But for how many years did we not talk to each other?
We can always get upset,
say nasty things to each other, scream,
and never see each other again.
It's easier the second time.
I don't want to waste my energy on a relationship...
that is so frivolous.
But listen, my friend. Try to change how you think.
You were screening my calls and texts like crazy,
but I didn't get angry.
I am cautious and careful.
And I even came here.
That's probably because even you realize you've gone too far,
and repented.
Exactly. I'm good at repenting.
Do you know why I repent so quickly?
I never want to cut ties with you
and not see you again.
I will see you and contact you for the rest of my life.
I'm going to be crazy good friends with you. Okay, my friend?
Golden Goose! Your food is ready.
Anyway, let's not keep in touch for the time being.
For the time being?
You asked me to look after Eun Joo.
She doesn't seem to want you...
to know more.
She said she'd call me if she needs anything or a person to talk to,
so let's do that until things settle down for her.
Okay.
Okay. For the time being. Sure, for the time being.
I won't ask for the time being.
Take good care...
of my sister.
But my baby brother doesn't like hangover soup.
You have no respect for your employees' preferences.
Later.
Are you leaving?
- Mom. - Oh my gosh.
What brings you here? You didn't even call. Did you eat?
You told Eun Hee to tell me to call you.
I thought about getting your dad another examination,
but there's no need since he got his memory back.
It's dusty. Go inside.
Is Tae Hyung feeling better?
- What? - I heard he wasn't well.
Yes, he's fine.
Is something wrong?
You look terrible.
My gosh.
You've lost weight.
Do you feel sick or something?
- Did you see a doctor... - That's not it.
It really isn't.
Why did you come all the way here on a day...
when Tae Hyung finishes work early?
I heard from Father.
Don't sell the place.
Ji Woo can't afford to move out right now either.
Fine. Okay.
Did you have lunch?
I'm hungry. Do you want to eat with me?
Why didn't you ever thank me back then?
What?
When I worked as a substitute teacher...
and tutored on the weekends.
Each day was so long and tiring, that it hurt to even breathe.
Before I realized it, a month had passed.
Before I realized it, a season had ended.
I can't remember how I lived back then.
That's how I blew my 20s.
Why are you suddenly...
bringing that up?
I'm just curious.
"Great work, daughter. Thanks, daughter."
I'm asking why you never once thanked me.
The day I first met Tae Hyung's mom,
she held my hand...
and thanked me for becoming her family.
I've wondered since then...
why you never once said that to me.
You were...
particularly cold...
toward Father and me.
I had no idea...
you've been...
harboring these feelings.
Yes.
It's all my fault.
I want an answer.
I'm not blaming anyone.
I want to know why.
Because words...
were too easy. That's why...
I couldn't say it.
Seeing kids your age...
wear makeup, dress nicely,
and walk around daintily...
killed me inside.
Back then, you hardly spoke, and you never smiled.
Even when you went to work before sunrise...
or worked late into the night,
you never once cabbed it.
You wore only cheap clothes...
and your soles were worn out.
How could I possibly thank you?
It would've been so shameless.
How could I say, “I’m sorry”...
when I could do nothing for you?
What’s the point of saying those words?
They’re just empty words.
Mom, I have something to tell you.
Yes?
Before I got married,
Father came to see me at work.
Happy birthday to you, Yoo Jung.
Happy birthday to you.
Blow out the candles.
Did you make a wish?
(June 13: Eun Joo’s Birthday)
Since when did I celebrate her birthday?
(June 13: Eun Joo's Birthday)
October 13, 1982.
It was the day I proposed to Mom.
Eun Joo was in Mom's belly.
That day...
I held Sook's hand for the first time.
Uneasiness pounds at my heart again.
November 13.
December 13.
January, February...
March, April, May.
June.
Ms. Kim Eun Hee?
(My Unfamiliar Family)
Why are you telling me your secret now?
Do you know what I regret?
You said we should be friends.
Just live as friends.
Just coy enough.
Should I give this to you as a gift?
Chan Hyuk screened your calls.
That’s a sign. A sign to not cross the line.
She's clueless despite being friends.
I liked her because she's clueless.
Young Shik? Why are you looking for him?
I heard this photo was taken the day he first held your hand.
I understand now.
