(Episode 65)
So...
you abandoned a child...
who was still alive?
We were so poor then.
We had to escape in the middle of the night.
We were unable to care for a sick child.
My own kids were about to starve.
As a human being,
I did something that...
I should never have done.
But I'm human myself and...
I thought of the girl.
It kept me up at night.
I went to get her as soon as day broke,
but a monk was holding her.
What?
I don't know...
if she was still alive at the time or not.
Either way,
I'm very sure that the monk took her up the mountain.
I saw it clearly.
Then...
my Young Suk...
Young Suk could still be alive? Is that it?
Is that so?
(Yongju Traditional Market)
- Cheese. - Cheese.
(Profile photo or video)
Is it done? Have you uploaded the photo?
I'm sure I pressed the button,
but it's still the same photo.
Let me.
You have to press the apply button.
See? It's done.
How many more times do I have to explain this?
It's not my fault that I don't know.
There's no need to embarrass me over it.
You just frustrate me, that's all.
Still.
Why do you always have to be so direct?
While we're on the subject, you should know...
that you being this way hurts my feelings.
What do you mean I hurt your feelings? Stop overreacting.
Young Dal only stepped out to throw out the trash.
What does it take him so long?
Should I look for him?
No, I'll go.
You two can continue your lovers' quarrel.
Did you know that...
you sulk easily over the littlest things?
It's the little things that hurt the most.
Now, give me that. I'll do it myself.
What the...
Honey, what are you still doing out here?
What?
Honey?
I...
Honey,
my sister Young Suk...
She might still be alive.
I need to go. I must look for her.
What did you just say?
Honey, where are you off to without closing up the store?
What is he saying? What on earth is going on?
Honey, where on earth would you go...
especially at this hour?
No, I need to go.
I need to check out the temple.
The old man said...
that there was a small temple nearby...
and that the monk was from there.
I must go and check it out.
Honey, please come to your senses!
Even if you take a cab, you'll arrive past midnight.
What do you expect to find at this hour?
You should go tomorrow when day breaks.
If you leave right now, you might end up hurting yourself.
You're completely out of it right now.
Yes, this is better.
Honey, please calm down a little for me.
Honey.
My sister Young Suk could still be alive.
What if she really is still alive?
She must've resented me so much for sending her away from home.
Honey, what do I do?
My gosh.
Right, of course.
Honey, my gosh.
Goodness.
Why is it so hard to fall asleep today?
I need some shut-eye to run the diner tomorrow.
Honey, why don't I join you? I should go with you.
What for?
I don't feel comfortable letting you go by yourself.
Also, I'm worried that you'll come back without a lead.
It's fine. You open up the store with Ok Ja.
I'll come back as soon as possible.
All right, but call me when you can and be careful.
Gyu Jin, what's all this?
Isn't it obvious? Take a look.
It's been a while since we had a hearty breakfast,
so I got working today.
Awesome! How about you marry me? I'll make you a happy man.
No, so shut it and eat up.
Gosh.
The stew is to die for. It's incredible.
That's what I call awesome.
(New text message: To Na Hee)
(New text message: To Da Shik)
What is it?
What? I didn't say anything.
Eat up then.
Sure thing.
Good morning.
You popped up in my dream last night.
By the way, where did Dad go this morning?
What?
Something happened to an acquaintance of his.
Like what exactly?
What acquaintance?
As if you'd know who.
Just eat up so that I can head to work.
Then go ahead and leave the dishes to us.
The office is getting new floors and a fresh coat of paint,
but the workers won't get started until after lunch.
It sounds like you're making some money now.
Give it up for Joon Seon!
Nice!
Your eldest son's business is finally on the right track,
so where's the love and support?
Of course. I know he's doing well.
If only you and Hyun Gyung can get back together again.
Let's dig in, then.
What you're already wearing is better.
Oh, right. Thanks.
It's not because I'm trying to look nice or anything.
This just seemed a little tight on me.
On the contrary. There's a lot of ease.
Really? I see. Then I'll get going. Thanks again.
Sure, have a good day.
Right.
Wait. Did she spray perfume too?
That's not like her at all.
I'll spray some on me too. Thanks, Na Hee.
Let's get going. I don't want to be late.
Sure.
- Hurry up already! - Coming!
What took you so long?
Why on earth are you all dolled up today?
Are you trying to look like Mr. Gatsby?
Don't be ridiculous.
I picked these because I had nothing else to wear.
Is that so? Hold on a second. That doesn't seem to be it.
- Let me see. - I said it's no big deal.
Why would I dress up when I'm seeing patients all day?
It's worthless.
- But I'm sure... - Come on. Let's not be late.
Get your grubby hands off me. Now, go.
- Okay, fine. Stop pushing. - Let's go.
Dr. Song, are you just getting in?
Yes, good morning.
You too, Dr. Yoon.
Right back at you, Dr. Song.
Dr. Song, you're blinding me in that outfit of yours.
Could you look any prettier?
Is that so? But this is how I usually dress.
That's not true. You look extremely beautiful today.
You too, Gyu Jin.
You spent the entire morning in front of a mirror today.
Is there an event today that I don't know about?
What do you mean by an event? Gosh.
So my former brother-in-law, how is your dating life going?
What? Well, good, I guess.
What's taking the elevator so long?
I know.
You look stunning today!
I know.
Really?
Then Young Dal's sister who was presumed dead...
could still be alive?
Who knows?
The monk could've saved a dying child...
or only took an already dead child to give her a proper burial.
Anyway, the man told Young Dal that the girl wasn't dead yet.
How can people be so dishonorable?
They threw out a child who was still alive.
Tell me about it.
The family got what it deserved though,
and the old man has been barely making it...
by collecting and selling paper.
That's karma.
Young Dal must've been shocked.
I hope he's able to receive some good news.
I am worried though.
Slowly but steadily, he was moving on,
but this new-found hope could bring more despair.
Hello, ladies.
Right, good morning.
Hello, Ms. Kang.
Is Mr. Song with you today?
He had somewhere to be today.
Well, have a good day then. You too, Ms. Jang.
Sure.
Let's go.
Ju Ri, can you cook the rice? I'll get started on the fillings.
Sure thing.
Cho Yeon, our customers have been raving about our kimbaps.
We even have true regulars now.
See? I told you we only had to try.
If only you had told me about the seasoning earlier.
I know. Since we're on the subject,
I'd like to say how uneasy I felt whenever Cho Yeon told us...
to eat her kimbap instead of spending money on dinner.
We had to literally shove it down our throats.
Even the vegetable lady left her kimbap behind.
Did you see that? Me too!
- Is the rice cooker plugged in? - Right.
Well, good morning. It's been a while.
Why are you back here?
I doubt we have anything more to talk about.
That's only what you think.
We looked for Hong Yeon Hong everywhere,
but she is nowhere to be found.
Anyway, let's keep this as light as possible.
I'm sure she called you. Where is she?
How should I know?
Why would she call me when she owes me money too?
Check my phone if you don't believe me.
You won't cooperate, is that it?
There's just no way for me to cooperate,
so stop wasting your time here.
Stay for some kimbap...
or take it outside so that I can run my business.
If this is how it'll be, we'll have to move onto plan B.
Let's follow the protocol.
Got it.
- Cho Yeon? - Cho Yeon?
I see you bought something delicious for yourself.
Anyway, just so you know, we'll be seeing you often.
Wait, hold on. Is this 50 cents a pop?
What do you think you're doing?
This won't help you at all. I don't know where she is.
Sure.
We're going to stick around until she calls you.
We'll stay right here until she does.
What? Are you kidding me?
Can you even make a profit off these?
Darn it.
Is this really 50 cents?
What are you people doing here again?
What do you want?
Gosh, mister. It's good to see you again.
I hope you've been well.
Stop that and tell me why you're here.
Why are you disturbing people's workplace?
What did we even do?
We didn't threaten anyone or bash anyone's property.
All we're doing is looking around the market.
Are you going to call the police when we did nothing wrong?
What can you even report us for?
Why you...
Stop!
What is it?
Not this annoying couple again.
I can take care of him. Bring it on.
I'll be out of your hair...
as soon as this lady tells me where Hong Yeon Hong is,
not a second before.
(Jogwang Temple)
I'm not sure.
I've only been at this temple for 12 years.
In order to know what happened 40 years ago,
I'll have to ask around and see if I can get into contact...
with someone who was here at the time.
Then please ask around and give me a call.
You must, all right? I truly need this.
- Isn't Ji Won answering? - The receiver cannot be reached.
- No. - You'll be directed to voicemail...
He's not one to be absent without telling anyone in advance.
I know, especially when the class is of his major course.
Da Hee, haven't you heard from him?
What? No.
You two have been like best friends.
You did the school work and the group project together.
So I thought you might know something.
Well... I wonder what's going on.
By the way, what are we having for lunch?
- Shall we just go to the cafeteria? - Again?
It's a hassle to go out.
You guys go ahead and have lunch. I have some work to do.
Okay.
Really?
He didn't even show up for the class?
No.
I'm worried sick about him.
It's my fault.
Don't worry.
I bet he had drunk a lot and passed out somewhere.
He's young. For guys his age,
it's common that they get dumped by a girl and skip classes.
That's how they widen their life experience.
Even so,
I'm still worried about him.
He will be all right.
He will get over it and move on in a few days. Don't worry.
I'll call you back later. Don't skip lunch. Bye.
Thank you.
- It's not for you. - Then what?
- They both are mine. - What?
Gosh, that greedy fool.
- Thanks. - Here.
Oh, right.
It's good.
Ta-da.
- When did you get this? - Just a moment ago.
I got this so you can recharge with some sugar.
Here.
Now that we're here together,
it reminds me of when we were dating.
We used to loaf around up here.
I know.
This place was like our hideout.
Come to think of it,
we tried all the romantic stuff that other couples do, right?
Sure.
And there's one more thing we did.
What?
Gosh, that's just cheesy. Stop it.
You're telling me to stop,
but it seems more like you're asking me to do it.
No, we can't do this here. What if someone sees us?
Just stop it.
Where are you going? We have some business to finish.
There's no one here except us.
Did you have lunch?
Have a nice day.
Gi Yeong and Sung Woo, can I talk to you for a moment?
- What? - What?
Do you have any plans after work?
- What? - Not really.
Let's have dinner together then. It's on me.
And you can choose what to eat.
We can go to an expensive restaurant.
- Okay. - I see. We will.
- We should get going then. - Bye.
- See you. - Bye.
What was that? It didn't sound like you.
They seem startled.
You told me to be nice to my juniors.
And I don't want to be an outcast anymore.
How much is this?
- Can I try it on? - It's for sale.
I can't buy it before I try it on.
I'm doing this because I want to buy it.
Hey, Tiger. Come here and try this on.
- Okay. - We have customers here.
What do you want to buy? There's not much in here.
Customers are coming in.
Did you buy anything?
- Let me see. - Why are you doing this to me?
Are these right ones?
Why are you so startled?
Don't be.
Bye.
- What? - Sorry?
- Me? What do you want? - Nothing.
What's the matter?
Why?
I'm sure they will get a call from her.
How is it going? Are they still out there?
Yes.
This is crazy.
They are not going anywhere before they find out Yeon Hong.
Cho Yeon, the other vendors seem really upset.
And customers are trying to avoid them feeling terrified.
What should we do?
It's not just about us. They are causing harm to other vendors.
Right. If they keep hanging around here,
the whole market will eventually lose customers.
It's just too scary to do grocery shopping.
My heart is killing me.
My heart is pounding because of those jerks.
I'm just trying to ignore them,
but it's causing harm to other people in the market.
But as Yeon Hong's friend,
I just can't tell them where she is.
It's not like she's your sister. You did as much as you could.
But she can't just give Yeon Hong away to them.
If I were Cho Yeon, I wouldn't do such a thing.
I can't take this anymore. Can you get me some relaxing pill?
Okay. I'll be right back.
Aren't you feeling well?
(Yongju Temple)
Hello?
This is Cho Yeon. Is something wrong?
What?
Father. My gosh. No, father...
Cho Yeon.
- Father. - What's wrong, Cho Yeon?
Come here.
- What was that? - Are you blind or something?
- What? - Hey! Did you not see...
Wait...
Has she gone crazy? What was that?
Monk.
Father.
He's not been feeling well since last year.
- His doctor recommended surgery, - Father.
But he said he wanted to let nature take its course.
And he asked me...
not to tell you about it.
Father.
I came too late, Father.
Cho Yeon.
You are doing all right, sweetheart.
Father.
Father...
Father.
Yes.
So you're spending the night there?
Yes. They said they will find her as soon as possible.
And I should wait for the monk to call me.
Tomorrow, I will look around the neighborhood Young Suk lived in.
Okay. Did you have dinner, by the way?
Sure. I had some soup with rice.
Don't worry about me.
Okay.
I'll talk to you tomorrow. Don't worry about our store.
I hope he will hear some good news.
Oh dear Almighty.
He's been haunted by guilt his whole life.
Please.
Please help him.
Gosh, please. I'm begging you.
Young Suk.
Are you alive or dead?
If you're alive, where on earth are you now?
Hello, Monk. This is Young Dal speaking.
So I've been asking around.
And I reached one of the monks who was in our temple 45 years ago.
Apparently, he's staying in Jeongyeon Temple,
which isn't far from here.
Oh, really?
Then could you please tell him that I'll visit him tomorrow?
This is it for today.
And this is the last meeting I'm chairing.
- What? - What do you mean?
My teacher is opening...
an international children's hospital in New York.
So I'm joining them as the chief.
And the schedule has been moved up a little.
But this is much too abrupt.
I'm so sad that you're leaving.
I'm sad too.
But a hospital director isn't really my cup of tea.
I should resume my profession before I lose my touch.
Anyway, thanks to you all, I had fun and I was happy.
Thank you.
How odd.
Hey.
What happened? What about him and Dr. Song?
Is it over? Just like that?
I guess? There's no talk about Dr. Song going to New York.
It looks like there's another story.
Like Dr. Song dumping Director Lee?
No. I think that Director Lee dumped Dr. Song.
No way.
The director liked her first.
I vote that Director Lee was dumped.
I say Song Na Hee. Because...
Just because. I hope it was her.
Did your professor really press you to return sooner?
Are you not leaving sooner because of me?
Gosh, no, it's not like that.
I'm not the type to bet everything on love.
You tend to overestimate the effect you have on other people.
Do I? That's embarrassing. I apologize.
We made great progress at the last meeting.
If I'm going to return,
I think it's right to do so when they need me.
Okay.
Anyway, you two can come to New York on holiday.
Even better if you fight and come alone.
Can I visit with another guy?
Don't you think that's wrong?
Okay, then.
Take care, Na Hee.
Goodbye, Jeong Rok.
(Dear Valued customer!)
(Thank you for your support for our products.)
Oh? Great, another order.
You got an order?
Yes, something you wore. There are lots of queries too.
We could become rich if just these people ordered.
Really?
Hyo Sin, get ready to go out.
Why?
A friend of mine called.
He opened a restaurant and said we can eat all we want.
I don't feel very well. You two can go ahead.
Are you sure? Don't complain later. It's beef tripe.
Let's get ready, Jeong Bong.
Do you feel that unwell? Why not go and eat?
I don't like tripe much.
You don't like tripe? It's so delicious.
Darn it. Does this idiot think I'm a pushover?
Why? Who is it?
Some loser with no pride.
I should just ignore him.
Let's see...
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to...
Ji Won, will you please pick up?
(Jae Soon)
Hi, Jae Seok.
Why do you sound like that? Are you sick?
No, it's not that.
Ji Won isn't here again today, and it was a major class.
Really? Did you try calling him?
Yes. He won't pick up.
What now? We have a team project.
If he doesn't do that, he'll fail the class.
What an idiot.
Okay, then. After we hang up, text me his number.
Why? Will you call him?
He doesn't know my number, so he might pick up.
I'll give it a go.
Okay. Text it to me right now. Bye.
He's such a nuisance in so many ways.
- Hello? - Oh, hello.
May I ask what your name is?
It's Choi Ji Won. Who are you?
Okay, your identity confirmed. That means you're alive.
What?
Hello? Who is this?
Hey, it's Yoon Jae Seok, Da Hee's boyfriend.
Where are you? Are you at home?
No. I went on a trip and just got back to Seoul.
Why?
Then let's meet up later.
I really need a drink and have no one to drink with.
Yes.
Father.
Cho Yeon.
There's no reason to be so sad or to shed tears.
We are all born once...
and must die once.
Father.
Still,
I feel so sad.
Being able to call you father...
was such a comfort to me.
Even as a young girl,
having an adult I could call father...
warmed my heart.
It gave me the strength to live.
Child.
Your name is now Cho Yeon.
And you can call me "father".
Okay, Father.
Monk Yong Gang.
I will let you go now.
Rest in peace.
Fly freely away.
Goodbye, Monk Yong Gang.
Goodbye, Father.
Goodbye.
Yes. I remember.
When I had just become a monk,
one of the senior monks...
was looking after a little girl about 5 or 6 years old.
I think she looked like this girl.
Then my Young Suk...
Who is that monk? Who is he?
Monk Yong Gang.
Right now...
Just a moment. Monk Yong Gang?
The Monk Yong Gang who stays at Yongju Temple?
(Yongju Temple)
He passed away? Who...
Monk Yong Gang?
Yes. He entered nirvana yesterday afternoon.
We held a small funeral as he requested.
How can I help you?
(Episode 66)
Hold on.
You hate that, right? Sorry.
No, you can go ahead.
Really?
For some reason, you've changed in a lot of ways.
I'm trying to change even more.
I'm glad you're trying,
but don't go to unnecessary lengths.
I'm fine being with the old Na Hee.
You've gotten better with your words.
Who taught you how to speak that way?
Your first love?
Why would you bring her up...
If this is how it'll be, I'll mention Jeong Rok too.
What should we have for dinner?
Beats me.
What?
- Yes, Ga Hee? - Na Hee,
- you need to hurry home. - What's wrong?
Dad came home, but collapsed as soon as he got here.
He's pale too.
Sure, I'll be right there.
I'm afraid I have to hurry home.
Why? What's going on?
I'm worried too, so give me a call later.
Sure. Thanks for the ride. Bye.
He doesn't have a fever, but his blood pressure is high.
He seems to be dehydrated.
Dehydrated?
What should we do? Shouldn't he get to a hospital?
Mom, please get him a glass of salted barley tea.
Sure.
- Let's give him some room to rest. - Got it.
I'm home.
- Hey, Da Hee. - You're home.
Why? Is something up? What's with your faces?
Da Hee, call Joon Seon,
- and ask when he'll be home. - Sure.
What? Dad has a sister?
Are you saying we have an aunt?
Why didn't you ever tell us?
Because it's been eating away at him for decades.
It's why...
he's always been reluctant to polish off his bowls during meals.
He feels guilty because his sister never had enough to eat.
But that aunt who was presumed dead...
could very well be alive?
My gosh, how can this be?
I'm not sure of the details, but she must still be alive.
That's why your father is in this agonizing pain.
He has no idea about where she is or how she is doing.
Talk about a shocking revelation.
How could he have not told us about her?
It makes sense now.
No wonder he'd sometimes stare into the sky and sigh.
It was more than just a habit.
Gosh, I feel bad for Dad.
He lived his whole life with burying his young sister...
in his chest.
Can you believe that this is what we must do?
Look here, lady. Where have you been all day?
Were you visiting Yeon Hong?
Right? What...
You really must be gutsy to ignore me like this.
We'll be back tomorrow.
Don't you think for a second that we'll give up.
Didn't she seem off to you?
Right?
Could something be up?
- Cho Yeon. - Cho Yeon.
- Cho Yeon!
Girls,
I'm an orphan again.
My father passed away.
He's gone.
What do you mean you're an orphan?
You have us, remember?
Please don't cry, Cho Yeon.
Really?
I had no idea that your father had such a past.
Of course. My siblings and I didn't know either.
I'm amazed by the fact that they never once mentioned it.
All I knew was that he was poor growing up.
So how's your father doing?
He's okay and is asleep.
It seems like he roamed around frantically for two days.
Watching him sleep with a frown on his face...
made me feel guilty in a way.
He's never been one to reveal his emotions...
which is why I thought he was as tough as nails.
It's why I never tried to consider his inner thoughts.
That's how my father is like as well.
Our parents' generation is all alike.
I know.
For the first time, my heart ached for him.
Look at you all grown up.
I know. It took me a while, didn't it?
I'm sorry for blowing off dinner.
Make sure you grab a bite to eat,
and go to your mother if you don't want to eat alone.
She'd love that.
Right, I'll think about it.
Anyway, see you tomorrow.
Na Hee, wait.
Good night.
Why on earth is he being romantic all of a sudden?
Who was that?
No one.
Was it that interim director?
Are things still good between you two?
No.
It's not?
Why? Is it over already?
Stop with the questions and respect my privacy.
Wait, is it really over?
He seemed to like Na Hee a lot.
Anyway, did Jae Seok manage to meet up with Ji Won or what?
Could they have gotten into a fistfight?
Hey, over here.
You couldn't have come sooner?
Should I just leave?
No, of course not. Have a seat.
Here.
Anyway, let me pour you a glass.
I don't drink alcohol poured by others.
I'll pour mine by myself.
Unbelievable.
Whatever.
Are you against clinking glasses too?
Let's be frank here. What about Da Hee do you like?
There are plenty of other sophisticated girls in your class.
Then what about Da Hee do you like?
Is this a trick question? She's darn pretty.
She's not exactly the pretty type. Adorable is more like it.
You...
How can one be objective...
when there are feelings involved?
Anyway, her being pretty is just the tip of the iceberg.
There's something incredibly sexy about her nasal voice.
Also, her arms fly when she runs...
which is absolutely adorable.
On top of that, she knows when to wave the white flag...
which is super cool.
She's also one to always put others before herself.
That's how sweet she is. Should I keep going?
Ji Won.
Hey.
What about Da Hee do you like?
She has such neat handwriting which she puts a lot of effort into.
What?
There's no one in my class who takes notes like she does.
It was fresh to see someone does her best in every way.
She pays attention in class and participates in class activities.
But she doesn't let her get noticed too much.
She knows how to blend in.
You're a good judge of character.
Thank you for complimenting my girlfriend.
Anyway, cheers.
Cheers!
She's still mine though.
This is a surprise.
It's not like you to come by voluntarily to eat dinner with me.
Don't be so shocked about it.
It's not shocking for a son to eat with his mom. Eat up.
Even though it's not a big deal, you never seemed to bother.
I'm sorry about that. I promise I'll come by more often.
As if you'd keep your word.
Anyway,
have you crossed paths with...
my mother-in-law while walking in the neighborhood?
Why would you bring her up all of a sudden?
Also, she's not your mother-in-law anymore.
What else can I call her though?
Have you met her a few times?
How can we not cross paths...
when we work so close by?
The other day, I went to the market and bumped shoulders...
with these thugs. Gosh, it was terrifying.
There were thugs at the market?
That's what I'm saying.
Ok Boon still helped me calm down by offering me some tea.
She must've felt bad for me.
Why are you asking about her though?
No reason. I was just curious.
Anyway, dig in.
Jae Seok, let's be frank. In what way are you better than me?
I'm younger and better-looking.
I bet I'm healthier too.
The only upper hand you have is that you're a dentist.
I can be one too if I put my mind to it.
I'm smart, you know. I have an IQ of 130.
What's yours?
140.
How come you have such a high IQ?
Darn, I lost once again.
Ji Won, you should stop drinking.
You're already wasted.
You never listen, do you?
I have no choice but to call you a moron.
Jae Seok, I really liked Da Hee, you know.
I've never felt this way about anyone before.
It hurts so darn much.
Wait. Are you crying?
My gosh.
Seeing you cry is making me sad too.
Hang in there.
Ji Won, don't cry. Stop.
A man shouldn't cry over something so frivolous.
Song Da Hee isn't the only woman out there.
Is she?
Then you can break up with her.
If you want to cry, you should.
Cry. Cry as much as you want.
Wail if you must!
Stand up straight, will you?
You can't even hold your liquor.
Bring Da Hee for me.
Da Hee!
Tell me where you live, darn it.
Otherwise, how can I take you home?
Well, I'm home.
Goodbye.
What...
What are you doing?
Why are you taking off your shoes?
I...
Hey!
You'll get sick if you sleep outside.
He's driving me insane.
What do I do?
Jae Seok.
Jae Seok?
Seriously? You're still asleep?
We'll be late, so get up.
What?
Gyu Jin.
What?
Why did you sleep down there? Who's on the couch?
What on earth?
Please stop, Mom.
What... Who on earth is he?
I let him sleep here for the night,
and it's because of some long and complicated story.
We drank together, but he blacked out.
That doesn't give you a reason to bring him here.
I don't know where he lives, so what else could I do?
I couldn't abandon some kid on the street.
Then you should've asked for my permission.
Hey, you. Wake up.
Stop kicking people like that. It's darn rude.
Why do you always do that?
I wouldn't have to kick if you were a decent human being.
How do you know him, and how much did he drink?
I don't know, and don't ask.
Then leave, and take him with you.
Kid, wake up!
- No... - Stop it already.
I'll report you to the police on charges of assault.
Are you talking back at me in that drunken state of yours?
- You punk... - Stop it!
You jerk.
Gyu Jin, I don't feel so good.
- Get over here. - I don't feel good.
My gosh. Honey, why are you already up?
I can't leave the store unattended for two days straight.
Don't be ridiculous. Anyone can see you lack energy.
Just rest for another day.
I'm going to stay home and take care of you.
I'll have some herbal medicine brewed too.
Please don't. That's not necessary.
Don't brush me off like that, and listen to me for a change.
Rest for the day, okay?
And don't be too disappointed.
You at least now know that she may be alive.
I guess you're right,
but I didn't realize that I already knew the savior.
It's like she slipped right through my fingers,
and I don't know where to begin the search for her again.
We'll take our time and think of options.
But for today, you'll rest.
Okay, I'll rest another day.
Why is the chicken place not opening up today?
Mr. Song has been absent for two days straight.
Who knows?
I doubt there are other issues left for his family.
Maybe Mr. Song's sick.
Wait.
(Closed for today)
Why is the kimbap place closed for today too?
Is this some kind of a trend?
Beats me. It is peculiar though.
Come along.
Darn it. What on earth?
- You! - My goodness.
You can't kick the rack like that.
Why would you wheel it outside...
when someone could trip and fall over?
Maybe I'll sue you for damages.
What the...
My gosh.
Until when will those men roam around the market?
Customers are too scared of them to come by.
Don't I know it.
The number of customers at my store has dropped to half.
This is bad.
The same goes for me too.
I didn't sell even half of the bread sticks.
We might have to close up the store.
The kimbap restaurant is to blame.
Maybe we should go argue with them.
Right. It's not like the owner took out a private loan,
but she should take the moral responsibility.
Because of her friend,
the jerks are hustling around in here like that.
I agree.
- We can at least go talk to her. - Right.
Cho Yeon, just have a little bite.
You haven't eaten anything all day.
She's right. Just have a mouthful for us. Please.
- Please. - Okay.
I'll eat it later.
I just can't eat right now.
Leave it there.
No. I'm not leaving before I see you eat.
Right. We are not going anywhere until you have a mouthful.
Excuse me.
Is Ms. Kang here?
Is anyone here?
Excuse me. Ms. Kang.
The ladies are here.
What brought them here?
- Hello. - What's the matter?
Listen.
We really didn't want to barge in like this,
but we just can't take this anymore.
What are you going to do with the thugs out there?
They are threatening customers. And we're scared too.
We are not making even half of the ordinary sales.
We need to come up with something.
We can't wait just like this.
We already are kind of slow these days.
I know what you mean.
But Cho Yeon is also a victim.
That's true.
Yeon Hong made off with Cho Yeon's money.
Ladies.
Please don't do this in here.
Once Mr. Song comes back, we can discuss it together.
We can call the police again or...
It won't work. They will eventually come back.
We need fundamental solutions.
Okay. I understand.
I know what you mean.
I'm really sorry.
I ended up causing you harm again because of my friend.
I'll try my best to settle things.
Please give me some more time. I'm really sorry.
Gosh, it's not something you should apologize for.
Actually, it is.
She shouldn't have taken in her friend in the first place.
You're right.
It's my fault.
I will take full responsibility and solve the problem.
Now my stomach feels better.
I wasn't feeling well, so I haven't eaten anything.
What about Ji Won? How is he doing? Is he okay?
Well...
He might get over it quickly. Or it might take a while.
I saw him sleeping this morning. I guess he went back home.
It turns out he's an only child.
Did you know that?
No. I didn't know.
I guess he longs for warm human affection.
He's a kind of guy who gives all his heart.
I feel really bad for him.
I didn't mean to break his heart. It's all my fault.
Maybe I should meet him.
I can come to see him and comfort him a little...
No. For now...
Hang on.
Hey, Ji Won.
Hello, Jae Seok. Where are you? Did you get off work?
Yes. I got off work already. Why?
Well... My stomach is a little upset.
Can you come over and cure a hangover together?
What? He wants to cure a hangover.
Happy now? Are you feeling better?
Yes. I feel much better now.
Thank you for yesterday.
Hey. I got a good scolding from my brother because of you.
You owe me big time.
I hate myself for being so tender-hearted.
I should've ditched you.
What's so funny?
Stop smiling. I don't want to grow attached to you.
That's what I want.
My gosh.
This is crazy.
- Have some kimbap as well. - He's smiling.
He seems rather at ease.
What on earth is going on?
Young Dal. Young Dal.
Why? You can watch it.
You hate to stop watching a soccer game.
No. I can watch it later.
So did Father not go to work again today?
No. Mom said he should get some rest today.
I didn't know...
Mom cared for Dad that much.
She was even going to get Dad some restorative medicine.
I guess that's what old couples do.
In that sense, I feel bad for my mom.
I guess you're right.
Considering my mom and dad.
So?
So what?
I'm just saying.
That's it.
What more do you want?
Are they the doctors from "Doctors"?
- I guess you're right. - You think?
- Shall we go? - Try to act natural.
I must say TV shows are quite powerful.
We were in only a few episodes, but they still remember us.
What do we do?
I guess we should be careful even outside the hospital.
It's not like we're celebrities.
Are we supposed to date only in a car?
- Cover your face. - Why?
I can't believe this.
Ok Boon, I'm here.
Hey.
How is Young Dal doing?
He's been sleeping all day.
So I got him some restorative medicine.
And I'm making pumpkin porridge which is his favorite.
Then I'll let him take the medicine.
Okay. That sounds good.
I'll go check up on Young Dal and say hello.
Okay.
Ok Boon. Young Dal isn't in his room.
Really?
That's true. Where did he go?
He was here when I came back with the medicine.
My gosh.
I wish I found him a little sooner.
Just a little.
Young Suk.
I came too late again.
Are you alive?
Are you alive or what?
What? When did I finish this?
I'm starving.
I just want to have a decent meal.
I want some spicy soup.
I'm too scared to go out though.
I should ask Cho Yeon to get me some food.
The receiver cannot be reached.
- You will be directed to... - Why isn't she answering the phone?
Hello?
Hi, it's me. Why won't Cho Yeon pick up her phone? Put her on.
She can't come to the phone.
Why not? Is she busy?
No. She's in bed.
Her father died yesterday.
Oh, dear. Really? So suddenly? Why?
Cho Yeon must be so sad.
She seemed to be really close with that monk.
Are you two taking good care of her?
How dare you say that?
Do you know your creditors hang out here...
asking where you are?
The other merchants came by to complain about it.
How dare you talk like that to me?
What? Is that true?
Now you know, so hang up.
I have to bring Cho Yeon dinner.
Why are those jerks there?
They're so persistent.
I'm starving.
How can someone be so shameless? She's so annoying.
You didn't delete her number?
I blocked her long ago.
Why did you come out, Cho Yeon? I was going to bring you this.
You like tteokbokki and sundae.
We got some. Have some with us.
We should've bought these sooner.
We cooked porridge for you when you're not a patient.
- Let's eat. - Right.
Sit down.
- What? - Sit down, both of you.
I have something to say.
- Okay. - What...
- What is it? - Why?
I'm...
I'm going to close this store.
- What? - What did you say?
I'll close the store and leave.
Darn it.
Can I have another bottle of soju?
Young Dal. No, forget that. No more alcohol.
My goodness.
Hey, why are you drinking alone when you're sick?
You should've called me.
What else is a friend good for?
It's Yang Chi Su.
Yes, Yang Chi Su's here.
Chi Su.
Chi Su, Chi Su, Chi Su.
You're saying my name, and that means you're drunk.
Let's go. Go home. Your wife's worried.
She called me four times, asking me to find you.
Chi Su.
My younger sister Young Suk.
Do you think she's alive?
Do you really think she's alive?
Let's have hope, okay?
Things have improved,
so there will be a way to find her.
Is there?
Why do I keep having negative thoughts?
Maybe she died somewhere, and I have no clue.
Or maybe she's deadly sick in some hospital somewhere.
Get up. Let's go. Let's go home.
- More drinks? - Yes, more drinks.
- Let's get more drinks. - Gosh.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
No, wait.
- What? - I must pay.
No, I'll pay. Wait here.
No, Chi Su. I should pay.
Oh, dear.
Darn it.
Who was that?
Let's go now.
Come along.
- Can we go? - Yes.
- Let's get more drinks. - Let's go.
He's totally drunk. Is he upset about something?
This looks like his wallet.
(Song Young Dal)
It is his wallet.
What a bother.
Perfect.
This photo...
Hey.
When was this taken? Is this really you?
Of course it is. It's the only family photo I have.
It's the family photo I saw in Cho Yeon's room.
Why does he have...
(Once Again)
Brother, how about we chat while we walk?
Yes, brother.
Ga Hee. Let's go somewhere quiet...
She said to talk here.
Big news! Big news!
She got her deposit back and is leaving tomorrow.
I'm glad I get to see you before I leave.
My father died a few days ago.
Come to my place.
What if Gyu Jin comes back like last time?
Come here.
Who's that? Isn't it Jae Seok?
Did you see a wallet?
It's my friend's who sat over there.
Cho Yeon, that... I'll carry it.
Is this Seo...
Seo Jin?
