Episode 17

Pal Kang

Grandfather

How do you know Pal-Kang, Mr. President?

President?

How do you know the President, Pal-Kang sshi?

Are you the President? Grandfather is?

Are you the President of JK?

We'll talk about that slowly at another time. Let's go meet with that person first.

Jeong Ae ajumma isn't here.

Why is it that there are so many people looking for Song-Ho's mother today?

Did she swindle any money from you people?

That must be why, she was in such a hurry to leave last night.

Are you telling me, that they've left already?

Each of them took one bag and left here as if they were being chased.

President

Pal Kang

Even though you weren't able to find them, I'll give you the money as I had promised. Don't worry!

Do you really think, I went through all of this trouble to find Jung-Hye ajumma for the money?

I didn't even know Nami was sick while I was lost wandering. You think I did this all because of money?

You think people who are poor would do anything for money, huh!

Pal Kang...

I... I felt bad for you, Grandfather...

I felt bad for the grandfather, who used to dig through the trash and come over to our house and eat...

I felt so bad, that I wanted to do everything in my power to find her for you!

I know! I know, Pal Kang.

What would you know, Grandfather?!

Did you think, that if I knew that you were our company's President, that I would...

ask you for a promotion? Was that what you were afraid of?

Did you deceive us, because you thought that I would beg you for a place to stay, due to the relationship you shared with my parents?

That's not it..

The very fact, that you would give me, the 30,000,000 Won that you had saved all your life...

I'm the fool who pitied you over that!

With the room that I was going to get with that money...

I wanted for all of us to live together, you and Jeong Ae ajumma too.

Please, listen to my-

I didn't even know that you were that wealthy...

I came into this snowy mountain, carrying Nami with me. Wandering, lost...

Getting him sick...

It's enough!

I'm sick and tired of dealing with people, who have "things," like you.

Pal Kang...

So that's what had happened.

Pal-Kang has every right to be this way.

I should have told her the complete truth, the last time we had met, but,

she had changed so much from before.

I just had wanted to watch over her, for just a little longer.

She'll gain self confidence...

But, why wouldn't she feel betrayal either?

How I am going to resolve this with Pal-Kang?

Please, get in.

Pal Kang

The President had his reasons as well...

Please, don't be too upset. Let's resolve this misunderstanding, while heading back to the city.

I don't have a misunderstanding to resolve.

Pal Kang-sshi

President

Yes?

When you were the ragman grandpa, we could live with you, but not anymore.

Pal-Kang, please listen to me...

We went to help our poor grandfather...

My Nami went through such an ordeal in the process...

Nami, why is your sister so stupid?

I'll do my best to find out where Oh Jeong Ae ssi went.

How could one night make such a difference?

If they had stayed for just one more night, we could have met them.

What kind of hardship did they want to go through, that they left so quickly?

Kang Ha

Yes, President

You must find them

Yes. I will.

And Pal-Kang, she's like my own granddaughter,

and her siblings are also like my own precious grandchildren.

Jin Sae-Yoon... Ah, remember the dream, that I had wanted to create with you?

Yes, you did speak of it before.

I wanted to wrap up things at the company. And, with him, build the best free clinic in the country.

Pal-Kang and her siblings are his children.

After I had fainted...

After the two of them had left this earth, due to a car accident. The rest ended up living at your house.

The dream that I had began to create with Pal-kang's father...

Is the dream that I will finish with Pal-Kang.

And I wanted to wait and see until she matures more.

But that kid.. she won't even want to see my face right now.

So, I'm putting my faith in you.

Go and talk well to her.

Yes. I understand.

How did anyone think of making a computer like this?

This is just so amazing.

You little rascal. What are you gonna be when you grow up, at this rate?

I sent you up here to clean, but you're playing games?

I already cleaned.

It's still dusty as before. What do you mean you cleaned?

See!

Mr. Lawyer...

he filled up the trash can, and I emptied it all.

Just be quiet. Whenever you open your mouth, you're asking to be beaten.

Don't just do it wishy-washy, and do it good and right.

What happened, Noona?

What business trip did you have to go on, with Nami too?

We were doing the cleaning.

See! Isn't it sparkling clean?

Come in, everyone.

Is it because we were cleaning, and not studying, that she's mad?

Noona, what are you doing?

You all pack up your own backpacks too.

Noona!

Unnie, what's going on?

Don't touch anything that belongs to this house. Just pack up the things we brought in.

Noona, what's wrong?

We're leaving this house, so hurry up, everyone.

Big Noona, why?

Are you guys not gonna listen to me?

Where would we go? We have no place to go?

I'll take care of that, so just pack up your stuff.

Unnie! Noona!

Everyone, do your greeting.

Thank you for everything.

Good bye.

Aren't you guys gonna hurry and say your goodbye?

Why are you doing this, Jin Pal Kang?

Say goodbye.

Noona, let's live here. I don't wanna go.

You better get over here.

What exactly are you doing, Jin Pal Kang?

Go where?

You needn't get involved. I will figure out where to go.

Miss Jin Pal Kang!

Everyone, come outside.

Let go. I said, let go!

Why are you doing this?

Do you really need to go so far?

Does it even occur to you, that the chairman must have had his reasons too?

Yes, it's true.

You must feel angry and wronged.

And you must feel betrayed too. I understand.

But you can't just leave the house like this.

It's not like it's just you.

You have the kids. The kids!

Where the heck will you go with the kids, to be like this right now?

Please think rationally. Rationally!

I am not smart enough to think rationally or whatever.

If I were smart, would I have wasted five years of my life chasing you around?

Then, start thinking rationally from now on.

Don't come up with an irrational thought like moving out first.

It was because of you.

That my mom and dad died.

Because I thought you were the prince on a white horse.

Because I thought you were someone who would make this "Miss Jin who didn't matter" the crown princess.

I put up my hands and came in here to be a maid, just to look good to you.

Even when Nami was ill...

Just so that I can look a little prettier to you, I went to get a perm and I couldn't be home.

And they were so worried about Nami who was ill...

my mom and dad...

rushed to get home...

If you had said sooner..

that you'd be marrying Director Jung Jae Young...

it would've been nice if you did.

Then I wouldn't have been dreaming such a vain dream and lived my life with an alert mind.

I am so sick and tired of it that I can't stay in this house any longer.

If I stay in this house,

then I'll just think of that pathetic me who dreamed in vain.

And it makes me not want to live anymore.

You can't do anything for her, so don't try to go after her, Won Kang Ha.

Just let her leave.

I said, just let her leave.

Just let her leave!

Aren't you guys gonna hurry up?

What? My home?

Why do you ask me where my home is?

Pal Kang.

Did something happen to you?

What? What's wrong? What happened?

Hey, Pal Kang, did you get kicked out?

I mean, you were living there fine.

And he even renewed your contract, I thought you said.

No, I mean it's fine if you come to my place.

But hey, Pal Kang, I'll be right on over.

Where's Pal Kang? Ack, seriously.

Aigo, this is what my room looks like. Here, come on in, it's cold out there.

Can you all, really live here together?

I feel bad toward Eun Mal ssi, but it's fine for us.

No, you don't need to feel bad toward me, but it's gonna be so stuffy for the kids.

I mean, Lawyer Won's house is so much bigger and nicer.

It's gonna be hard for the kids to live in this place, after living in a place like that.

No, we're fine. Everyone's fine, right?

We can live here with peaceful hearts.

But we were living with peaceful hearts at the lawyer mister's house.

I wanna live at Mr. Lawyer's house, Noona.

We have to live here for the time being, so don't have other thoughts.

Hyung.

Where did everyone go?

I don't see any of the kids.

When did you get in? Were the kids not here either, when you came in?

They all left.

To where?

Jin Pal Kang took the kids and left.

Pal Kang was here? She left with the kids without saying where she was going?

They left with all their belongings.

Bro..

She left, saying she couldn't live here anymore, because she's sick and tired of living here.

What do you mean, hyung?

So,from now on, you take care of this.

It's your job to go find them, and it's your job as well, to figure out what to do after you find them.

What exactly happened? What exactly happened between you and Pal Kang?

Why would Pal Kang leave here all of a sudden?

That too.. you go find her and ask her yourself.

You didn't... mess with her, did you?

Did you tell her you are marrying Jae Young, but you have feelings for her too? Is that it?

I never did such thing.

Then why?

I told you, it's all on you now!

So you go and resolve this yourself!

Because a punk like me, doesn't even have the right to be involved!

So you resolve this yourself! You!

I don't have any space.

I don't have any space, so stop pushing me.

What?

Ack!

It looks like we need to get a new table first.

I'll buy that tomorrow. And I'll buy rice too.

Oh, nope don't worry about that. I don't know if it's because I'm such a bumpkin, the first thing I do when I get paid is to buy rice.

When I see the rice crock so full of rice, I feel like there's nothing to envy in the world. So no need to worry about the rice.

But oh no, there's nothing for you kids to eat with the rice.

What do you mean? There's kimchi stew, so what else do they need? You kids better spoon lots of it and eat up.

What?

Hey, let go. The kids need things to eat with the rice.

There's no need, I said. Our kids eat fine with just a stew.

Hey, they came here after living in such a nice home, and they're so downcast.

It's so heart-wrenching, I can't watch it. At the least they should be fed good food.

Don't be like this! They need to forget everything that happened in that home!

Hey! Pal Kang! Pal Kang!

What's wrong with you?

Pal Kang, Pal Kang! Hey, what's going on with you?

We need to forget everything that happened in that house, so why do you keep on doing this?

Pal Kang!

We need to forget all about living a comfortable life in a nice room, so we can live a hard life from now on.

You.. it's still that way for you?

Your feelings for Lawyer Won?

No, it's nothing like that.

Hey! It is. You moved out, because you were troubled about him, right?

I said, that's not it.

You.. even if you say you won't be living as a woman from now on, that's not exactly something you can control.

How can a person's heart be so easily controlled? A person you were so fond of for five years...

You were living in the same house together, and your heart continued to go towards him, but he's so heartless, he won't even acknowledge it, is that it?

I told you it's nothing like that, so what's wrong with you?

Why don't you just.. just.. Pal Kang...

Just confess to him. Tell him how much you like him. Tell him how you love him.

It's so hard on you because you couldn't even confess to him and you're just getting yourself stressed.

I said that's not it.

I have no lingering feelings left for him. Not an ounce left.

Where did Pal Kang and all the kids go?

Where did they all go, I asked! I don't even see Nami's walker.

All the kids stuff are gone too!

Uncle!

It's because of me.

This is all my fault.

It's because I said I got dumped, and I was.. doing that..starving myself thing... foregoing food, and they felt bad.

Because my love...

was too burdensome...

I deserve to die. I made them go outside in this cold weather. I really deserve to die.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

How did it go? Did you talk to Pal Kang some? Did you get her to calm down? If you have, I'm thinking about coming..

I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman.

Why? She's still mad? Why didn't you talk to her better? No.. this won't do... I'm coming over.

Pal Kang... left.

With her younger siblings too.

I'm sorry.

Father!

How... did he collapse again?

I think he was stressed over some worry.

He didn't even eat dinner, and he just stayed in his study, so when I went in there to bring him tea...

he was sitting there really weak, then he fainted.

Father, why do you keep on doing this?

If you keep this up, all my blood's gonna dry up.

What...

What is it?

Aigoo...

Hey, Pal Kang.. Pal Kang...

Oh my world.. why is sweating so much cold sweat?

Hey, Pal Kang! Pal Kang?

What is it, Eun Mal ssi?

What do you mean what? Why are you sweating so much cold sweat?

Are you sick?

Its nothing Eun mal shi. Please go back to sleep

What do you mean it's nothing. You're burning up.

I took some drugs before bed Don't worry, I'll be better by tomorrow after some rest.

You took some drugs?

Yes, I felt a bit cold so I took some medicine.

Don't worry, and hurry and go to bed.

Aigoo.

How exhausting it must be. Taking care of all of your siblings, after your parents passed away. I thought you were making it okay, but..

The time for you to get sick has finally come.. So, unfortunate. How tough it must be for you right now?

What are you gonna do with the kids and go where?

Please think rationally. Be rational. Don't just think with your emotions.

It would've been nice if you said sooner, that you'd be marrying Director Jung Jae Young.

If you had, then I wouldn't have been chasing after a vain dream, and I would have lived with an alert mind.

Ack, seriously. She won't even listen to us.

Pal Kang is doing so well at the company these days. So, why does she insist on leaving the company all of a sudden?

Who is to know what she's thinking. I asked and asked, but she's keeping such a tight mouth.

I mean. Last night, she was suffering with cold sweats coming out nonstop.

And today she's carrying Nami, and holding Parang's hand to go around looking for a job. When I think about that...

I, seriously...

Please say something that makes sense right now.

How are you planning to work, when you have not one, but two kids with you?

Just try me out for one day. One day.

If you didn't have any kids, it would be a different story...

My Parang can watch over Nami in the other room.

Right, Parang?

The baby seems to have a good temperament. Make sure that the baby doesn't cry, alright?

Yes.

Oh...

Hello?

Ajusshi, it's me, Parang.

Oh, it's you, Parang.

I just wanted to let you know where we are living, right now.

Ajusshi? Ajusshi?

Did the call get disconnected?

No, it didn't Parang. Go ahead and talk.

Please come and visit!

I really, really miss you.

You miss me, too, don't you?

Well, that is... Ajusshi has to work right now.

So, let's end this call for now, Parang.

Oh!

The fact that the lights are on, must mean that they're home already.

Please don't make fun of me, because the room is the size of a nostril hole.

Oh, you guys were in the middle of studying.

Please come in.

Ajusshi!

Ajusshi!

Were you guys studying?

Yes.

Your sister hasn't come back yet?

You did a really good job today, Parang. If you keep watching over Nami like today, Noona can keep working there.

Noona?

What is it?

I want to see Lawyer ajusshi.

Just start to forget. Don't think about that ajusshi anymore, because Noona is going to do the same thing now.

But, I keep thinking about him, so how am I suppose to forget?

Just bite your tongue and tell yourself, "I'm not going to think about him anymore."

But, what if I keep thinking about him?

Think about something else. Actually, every time you think of that ajusshi, sing the "Goblin's Underwear" song.

"The Goblin's underwear are dirty."

"He wears them over again."

"He wears them inside out."

"He hasn't washed them in 2000 years. His underwear smells."

"It has holes in them."

"The Goblin's underwear are old and tattered."

"He wears them over again. He wears them inside out."

How can a person be like this?

Shouldn't a person say that they're leaving?

Thank you for everything back then.

You made our stay very comfortable, Team Leader, because you helped us out so much.

Jin, Pal-Kang sshi...

I have to get back. I have to feed the kids.

Let's go in together. Let's go in, get the kids and go back to the house.

I'm not going.

My brother is going to get married and move out of the house.

What has that got to do with me?

If the Lawyer gets married, it isn't my concern, whether or not he lives at the house.

Please leave safely.

Isn't that why you left?

It isn't.

That's a relief then.

If you don't want to leave today, then stay here.

But, I'm going to come see you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, until you decide to change your mind.

Whether it's this herb or that, get me whatever you can.

You asshole. It's not for me, but for my father.

Alright, so get the best stuff that you can and send it over as soon as possible.

You got it, right?

Oh man...

My friend, Dong-Tae, the doctor of Oriental Medicine. That asshole. He asked me if I'm interested in rejuvenation.

I don't know if it's the fact that his name is Dong-Tae (a type of frozen fish), but he has the IQ of a fish.

Please be quiet, you're going to get on father's nerves.

Oh, Kang-Ha is here too.

We're here, grandfather.

Why are you getting up?

I need to talk to Kang-Ha about something, so leave us.

Do you have a secret to talk about with Kang-Ha or something? We're all family, so why don't you...

I told you to leave us.

Kang-Ha.

Yes, Mr. President.

Do you really not know where Pal-Kang went?

I know where she is.

You found out?

Yes, sir. I do know where she is living right now.

Then, bring Pal-Kang here. I need to make amends, even if I have to get on my knees and beg.

Why are you out here and not sleeping?

What about you, noona?

I wasn't sleepy. I'll be in soon, so go back to bed.

Noona.

What is it?

Mom and Dad didn't know.

What do you mean by that?

Mom and Dad didn't know that Nami was sick.

I didn't tell them. So they didn't get into the car accident, because they were trying to race back home.

So, don't blame yourself for what happened.

Here you go.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me?

Yes.

Yes.

Of course.

What can I get for you today?

Two seolleongtang (soup stock made of beef bone).

Ajusshi!

It was easy to find, right? I gave you really good directions, right?

Yes, it was easy to find.

Parang, you...

Please don't get upset with Parang. I asked Parang for directions and he gave them to me.

Why did you come all this way to find me?

The Chairman has collapsed.

He wants to see you, Pal-Kang sshi.

Yes.

What about Pal-Kang?

Please come in.

Grandfather?!

You came along too, Parang?

Where are you hurt grandfather? Your stomach? Your head?

This grandfather has committed a grave sin against you guys, so his heart is aching very much right now.

That doesn't make any sense, right?

Right?

You keep thinking about them. But, you tell yourself not to think about them. That doesn't make any sense, right?

My sister said it works. It's a bit strange, right?

Parang.

Yes?

I'm planning to do the same thing.

Huh?

I have something that I think about a lot too, but I'm planning not to think about it as well.

It's something that I really can't think about anymore. I'm trying not to think about it anymore, so I've been drinking a lot lately.

What is it that you're thinking about so much?

It's just something like that...

But you see...

Yes?

Just like you said, it doesn't make any sense at all.

Trying to forget something, when you keep thinking about it anyway.

That is really nonsensical.

It is, right? I'm right, right?

However, there are times when that is the only way.

I don't know what you're saying.

Mister. I'm gonna go pee and come back.

Okay.

Yep, maybe.

Maybe, I mean...

Your older sister, I...

Maybe I love her.

I've never run into such a strange woman like her before.

However, for me, I too love my younger sibling, as much as your sister loves hers.

I am a guy who's given Joon Ha many wounds.

And thus, I can't hurt him again.

That's why...

I cannot love your sister, you see.

That's why.

It seems the dreams I wanted to achieve together with your father, I can achieve them together with you.

Because you have changed quite a lot.

And when I see you living, so sturdy and strong, with your siblings,

It occurs to me that you are truly his child.

And maybe I could try and realize the dream I haven't been able to, with your help.

And that's why, even though I was fully aware of your struggles, I wanted to keep watching just a little bit longer.

However, it was wrong of me to lie to you.

Pal Kang, will you forgive me, this foolish grandpa who was too greedy over his own ambitions?

Or maybe I should kneel.

You're not even well, what do you mean you're gonna kneel?

Don't act overboard.

Then, you will forgive me?

I said don't act overboard.

Did I say I was gonna forgive you?

Hey, kid! That is that though.

Gee, just lie down.

The great chairman of JK Life collapses over such a petty little thing?

Before you worry about forgiveness or what not, you should get yourself more sturdy first.

How are you gonna ever realize your grand dream at this rate?

You're lashing out at me again.

How am I supposed to do when that's my nature?

Is that something to boast about?

What's this now?

You said you wanted my forgiveness, but you're picking a fight with me now?

Listen to you. When did I?

Go outside and tell Kang Ha to come in here.

You're being so noisy here. The mister says he has things he doesn't want to think about.

So I was teaching him this song.

The goblin song.

He wants you inside.

This is the best, when your heart aches.

With your touch, I feel all better.

When I grow up, I'm gonna be a doctor too.

Like my dad.

Good. That's a great idea.

Kang Ha.

Yes?

I'd like you to find a house for Pal Kang and her siblings to live in.

No, Grandpa.

Don't do that.

Your words are very kind.

But if my life gets so comfortable all of a sudden, I'll probably return to the old "Miss Jin who don't matter" again.

And that's no help to my siblings.

That's like winning the lottery.

Pal Kang!

I heard that lots of people actually become worse off, after they win the lottery.

I and my kids.. I don't want us to live like that.

But it's not like you have a place to go right now.

We do have a place to go, so don't worry about that.

If you are to realize that grand dream with me, you'll have to study more from now on.

And in my opinion, though it's a bit late, you should start college now.

I was no good in studying.

My sister was really bad at studying. She was always last place.

I don't have a studying brain.

That's because you didn't have the opportunity.

Do you really think my mom and dad didn't send me to college because they didn't want to?

They wanted, but I couldn't.

Hey, that's not something to brag about.

When did I ever say I was bragging about it?

I am just telling you the truth, as it is.

Miss Jin Pal Kang.

Studying brain.. isn't anything particular.

If you find a good teacher, and work diligently in studying...

Are you boasting right now because you were good in school?

Haha.. when did I ever boast about me being good in school?

You may have been good in studying and became a lawyer, but there are still things you might not know in this world. Some people can't accomplish what they want even when they've study hard.

So is that something to brag about?

I mean, what's with you and grandpa, keep on saying I am bragging?

But you are yapping about how you were so bad at studying, as if you're bragging. You are, Jin Pal Kang ssi.

So anyway, don't think about getting me into studying.

Fine, I will. I'll try to succeed as an FC.

Because I think that's something I can do well.

And is that how you came to be number last among all our employees nationwide?

Last month, I wasn't last, okay?

Why don't you just listen to the chairman and study instead?

Ack! I said no, so what's wrong with you?!!

Oh... this Miss.

Why are you here, Miss Jin Pal Kang?

Oh, good you came.

Pal Kang, say hi. This is my son, his wife, and my granddaughter.

She is the daughter of Jin Sae Yoon, the man I helped and leaned on for such a long time, dreaming together.

She is no different than a real granddaughter to me.

I hope you guys will get along well with her from now on.

We will go first then.

Let's go, Miss Jin Pal Kang.

I'll go with you.

No, you stay and have a word with mom.

Mom!

Go on, Lawyer Won.

And goodbye, Miss Jin Pal Kang.

Yes.

Honey, you go and be with father.

What's going on here?

I mean, how did Jin Sae Yoon's daughter show up all of a sudden?

Your father was looking for her, so would he not be able to find her?

Go on in.

I really don't know what's happening right now.

So, Jin Sae Yoon's daughter was an FC at our company?

They say if you're determined enough, you'll find what you want.

Kang Ha found her, then.

Do you know what her presence means?

Your grandpa says he regards her as his own granddaughter.

Do you know what that means?

It means he could give to that girl, what he wanted to give to Jin Sae Yoon.

That won't happen.

How can you guarantee that?

Because she's not able enough.

If grandpa is determined,

I said that won't happen!

Father, what do you mean by that?

What do you mean you are naming that girl as one of your heirs?

Just as I said.

Why would you name a girl who shares no blood with you as one of your heirs?

I told you. She is no different than a real granddaughter to me.

How are you coming back together?

We went to see grandpa.

Grandpa?

The chairman and Pal Kang know each other.

The chairman is hospitalized, so we went to see him at the hospital.

I'll wait here, so go inside and come back out.

Leave Nami and Parang home.

Just go.

I'll wait here all night, until you come back out, so go on in.

Go ahead and speak.

If you're not scared about living in a house where my brother lives,

then move back.

If that's what you're here to say, then I'm leaving now.

I'm more comfortable staying at Grandma Eul Mal's place.

For the first time since I was born, I am wanting to take something from my brother that belongs to him.

Never once...

Never once, since I was born, have I ever been like this.

And so, I've always lived with my heart hidden.

But, for the first time, even if my brother says he loves you,

I don't think I can yield this time.

I'm gonna go.

Just like I put away that annoying one-sided love of mine.

And started over.

I am asking you to do the same.

I am pleading with you right now.

I am begging you, I said.

How can I do that??

I remember everything.

On days when he has a trial, he'd stand in front of the elevator, for about two times...

he'll just stand there, and miss the elevator.

When he's eating his meals...
