(Episode 25)

This will be the first and the last family meal...

we'll ever have.

I'll take care of Jung Hyo.

And I want you...

to get divorced with me.

What?

Get divorced?

Yes. Let's get divorced.

I might have still expected something from you.

I wanted to interfere in your life.

I wanted the same with Min Soo too.

That was the only right I had left.

Since I was socially isolated, I could only think of...

expecting a lot from my family and interfering in their lives.

I fully understand you,

but it's hard to understand that you want to take care of Jung Hyo.

There are two reasons for that.

To a woman who's pregnant, being with Mom is better...

than being with her husband or Dad.

No matter how much they try, men will never understand pregnancy.

Am I wrong?

Secondly,

I can't give up being a mom.

To be more honest,

I cannot even think about giving it up.

I've already been living this way for decades.

I might have been...

afraid of losing my role as a mom.

That could've been why...

I couldn't let go of Sang Jin and Min Soo.

It was sad and pathetic,

but I thought I had to hold on to them for money.

Because I had never left the house for decades.

But I found out...

that's not what I want.

Jung Hyo made me realize that.

I wasn't holding on to money.

It was my title as a mom.

I also found out that my role as a mom...

made me endure something more pathetic than just money.

You wanted to be credited for what you've done to your family.

Isn't that why you hurt me so much?

When did I...

But what have you done for our family?

That's what you've been saying every day...

since you became a captain,

and I began to stay home.

When Min Soo didn't get good grades,

when I gave you the same side dishes,

when I forgot to do the laundry, and when I didn't clean the dishes...

Every time you said that, I shouted from inside.

I took care of you and our child.

I saved money for our child's university tuition.

And my hands were always wet from working hard in the kitchen.

I lost my parents who raised me.

I lost my job, and I forgot about the trends.

I've been losing my things...

by giving up everything for you and our child.

I've been living half of my life to keep my family together.

I've been living as your wife and his mom...

to keep things together.

If you tell me to give up everything now, that's too harsh.

I have done so until now, and I will continue doing so.

I'll live as a mom.

That's where I'm going to start all over again.

What was that in front of everyone?

What did I do?

You are speaking nonsense. Get divorced?

I made up my mind already.

It's time for you to make up yours.

You came here all of a sudden and made your announcement.

Are you telling me to just follow your decision?

Did you get my permission to have an affair?

Did you discuss with me before having a child?

You could at least tell me what changed your mind.

I didn't change.

I only made the choice I've been delaying.

But why does that have to be now?

If you need time, I'll give you.

Stop going too far.

We've gone too far enough.

Even I want to stop now.

It felt like a car with broken brakes...

running on a highway.

It was terrible...

for years.

Since when were you so emotional?

You're a rational person.

I know you're saying things you don't mean out of emotion.

Then let me be rational.

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

But...

It has too much sugar. Don't finish it at once, okay?

You think you didn't?

You used to eat two at a time.

You begged me so much to buy you twisted doughnut...

every time I went to collect money.

I spent all of the money I collected on twisted doughnuts.

Did I?

Eat a lot.

Even if all of your teeth rot, you will get new teeth anyway.

Eat as much as you want.

It feels new.

What are you talking about?

Listening to my childhood stories.

I still remember it clearly.

You grew up so fast.

It feels just like yesterday when you were about Yoo Yeon's size.

Goodness. Your daughter grew up so much.

Who's this? Granddaughter?

Stop babbling nonsense, and keep walking.

Let's avoid making things ugly.

But still, we haven't met for a long time.

We should introduce each other.

Don't you think so, Aunt?

Grandma. Who's this?

How cute.

Don't touch her.

Se Young.

You can't do that to me.

I'm your sister.

Sister?

Hello, Aunt.

Hi.

You must be Se Young's daughter.

Everybody is watching. Let's go.

Where are you going?

It's a family reunion after such a long time.

Stop it before I get mad.

What did you say?

I'm the one who's been mad for my whole life.

How could you say that?

Let's go.

My goodness. How can someone be so shameless?

I was going to greet them.

She must feel guilty since that's how she lived her whole life.

Goodness.

Mom. Take Yoo Yeon home.

What are you going to do?

Go unless you want Yoo Yeon to find out.

Grandma. What about Mom?

She has something to say to Aunt.

Will you sing the song I taught you yesterday?

Let's sing together.

You can hear your voice better if you cover your ears.

Cover your ears.

- At the orchard outside the village - At the orchard outside the village

- The acacias are full in bloom - The acacias are full in bloom

Petals of the white flower

You said you're mad.

Tell me why you're mad.

Are you out of your mind?

Stop nagging,

and say the facts.

Oh, you don't know what facts mean.

I meant that you should tell me the truth.

What? Did you just look down on me?

Look down?

Are you even worth looking down on?

Just tell me why you're mad because of my mom.

Goodness. Everyone.

Look at her.

For her mom, ruining my family wasn't enough.

She's looking down on me and going crazy at me.

Goodness.

Everyone. Look at her.

Look at this shameless woman...

who got a young girl pregnant...

for not being able to pay off gambling money.

Instead of reflecting on herself,

this wicked woman...

keeps insisting she was a mistress.

Mistress? Who's the mistress?

She never wanted it.

Listen to me carefully.

It was a kidnap and a rape.

In modern times,

it's a crime to spend years in prison.

How dare you blame us?

Are you out of your mind?

I'm completely out of my mind.

How do you expect me to be sane?

My innocent mother...

was blamed for her whole life.

No child can be sane.

Is that my fault?

No one said it's your fault.

So keep your mouth shut, and keep your head down.

Don't be so shameless to keep your head up and blame my mom.

Blame your parents instead.

Do you really want to start this now?

Sure. Let's do it.

I won't do it here.

I'm going to take it to the court if I want to.

Everyone here knows what my mom went through.

They're all witnesses.

They know who my father is.

But there was no compensation.

Do you want me to sue you?

The rumor says you have a lot of money.

Right. Se Young's also family.

Everyone in town knows.

It's not like Ok Ja ever wanted it.

I will see you later.

You just wait and see.

Gosh.

Are you here to see Jung Hyo?

No.

Is your mom inside?

Yes.

Who do you want to see? Jung Hyo?

Yes.

Are you standing here because your mom's inside?

Then let's do this.

Why is it so dusty?

Are you sure it's been cleaned?

We do, but it's a factory.

Dust piles up even if I open the window just for a little bit.

And you stayed in a place like this for over a week?

I had no place to go.

Seriously.

Men are all the same.

They think the best place is where they feel comfortable.

When you're pregnant, no matter how nice they are,

you keep getting disappointed.

You can't help it.

That's why you need a mom who has experience of getting pregnant.

Can I keep calling you Mom?

Or what?

Who else nags at you like me?

Aren't you just acting like a mother-in-law?

I would never think about being a mean mother-in-law.

Since things turned out to be like this,

let's stay together.

At least for So Myung.

Mom. Come out for a second.

I'll go talk with him for a second.

- Take some rest. - Yes.

Mother. Since you had lunch,

how about some coffee?

Divorce? Now?

Unbelievable...

Gosh. The car's just like its owner.

Seriously.

Fine.

Then I have a plan too.

Tonight,

I will make sure to change her mind.

Where are they going together?

I should follow them.

The tire! Darn it!

Right.

Min Soo has a car.

Hey, Bikila!

- Have you seen Min Soo? - No, I haven't.

Is he at the lodgings?

Where are you going?

Gosh, seriously. Nothing is working out for me today!

Do you want some sugar with it? Shall I bring some?

- No, I'm fine. - I see.

By the way, why did you bring me all the way here?

I only have instant coffee at the factory.

You came all the way,

so I thought I should serve you something nice.

It's because of Jung Hyo, right?

Yes.

Do you know that?

What are you talking about?

Looking at Jung Hyo being pregnant...

reminded me of how I was a long time ago.

I remembered that I was just like her.

And...

I got to look back on myself.

I see.

And at some point,

I began to relive...

old memories in my head.

It was quite happy...

and nice.

I want to live it again.

Through Jung Hyo,

I want to live my past self again.

I want to find myself again...

and start all over.

Please let me do that.

I had such a hard time...

raising Jung Hyo by myself.

You must be feeling heartbroken...

and awkward.

To be honest, I feel strange...

to know that Jung Hyo will be a mother...

and that I'm staying with her like this.

I also feel scared...

that Jung Hyo might become like her mom.

Like her mom?

I told you to go somewhere cool.

It's hot in the park.

I don't want to argue with you with many people around.

I didn't come to argue.

You're pressuring me with your army service.

How is that not an attempt to argue?

I should finish it as soon as possible...

so that I can take responsibility or do anything like that.

I'm scared.

I still wish you could change your mind.

But it will be hard for me no matter what you choose.

So I want to choose what's less difficult for me.

What do you mean?

I thought it would be less difficult for me if you could get an abortion.

But as time went on,

as I spent more time with your dad,

abortion became a more difficult option for me.

- Then... - So I want to finish it sooner.

When I'm done with difficult things,

only good things will be left for me.

You're wrong.

What do you mean?

Waiting is much harder.

Go after So Myung is born.

Then two of us will be waiting for you,

and that will make it less difficult...

for me...

and for you.

Maybe it's not just the two of us.

It will be three of us if we include Mom.

I didn't understand it before,

but as I feel So Myung stronger inside me,

I get to understand Mom more...

about the reason she had kept that house like that.

What do you mean?

She has been waiting...

all alone for you.

It turned out that she couldn't wait anymore for the man...

who should take responsibility for another child.

So she has been waiting for you, the only one left for her.

That's the reason she couldn't give up that house.

She's deluding herself.

Expectation is different from waiting.

After becoming a mom, I think I can understand her.

I find myself waiting blindly...

even though it's hard for me.

Even I feel like that, so I wonder how Mom would have felt.

You're wrong. She never did that.

She just got used to it.

She got used to waiting for her husband who went to work...

and for her son who went to school...

for decades like that.

Stay with me...

at least until I wait for my due date.

Waiting for two people...

will be too hard for me.

You heard...

- what Mom told me. - You're such a fool.

Mom was right again.

- You resemble your father, right? - What?

I can tell. Goodness.

Sang Jin, what are you doing on my boss's forklift?

Can't you see?

I'm waiting for my wife and kid.

And why are you eating up the snacks for the employees?

I was reminded of my old days.

It's the first time for me to wait so earnestly...

except for when I waited to be discharged from the army.

What if she trips over while running like that?

She won't.

You're worrying too much.

Why do you say that I'm worrying too much?

Living like this...

wouldn't be so bad.

Do you like this?

Do you like living like me?

I didn't say I like it. I said it's not bad.

So are you going to live like I do?

You were singing very well earlier.

I remember you singing me songs when I was little.

Will you sing a song for me?

I won't.

I don't remember how you went.

Why did you do that earlier?

Have you ever seen me say something wrong?

I said the right thing.

People left alone someone whom they should point their fingers at.

And no one would listen...

to what you said at all.

They just blamed you for being a mistress.

Well, even if you had the chance,

you wouldn't have said anything.

You thought...

you'd better be blamed...

than worrying that they might blame me.

Being called as a mistress's child...

might have been better...

than being called as an unwanted child.

You don't say anything wrong...

and you know my situation so well.

Do you want to ask me...

why I tried to follow your path?

No, it's fine.

I might feel more liberated...

if I tell you the reason instead of keeping it to myself.

Don't tell me.

Don't you want to know?

Whatever excuse you might make,

no matter how many times you might be born again,

what you did cannot be excused as a mistake.

I know.

So I tried to give up Yoo Yeon,

but it was too late.

Don't ever say that in front of Yoo Yeon.

What would happen if she hears that?

She didn't have a choice for her parents, and it's not her fault.

It's all you and Sang Jin's fault.

I know that.

I know that,

but I think it will only get worse.

At the orchard

outside the village

- The acacias are full in bloom - The acacias are full in bloom

- Petals of the white flower... - Petals of the white flower...

- are flying like snow - are flying like snow

- I know that it's my fault. - The aroma is fragrant

- It's everywhere - But I can't do anything about it.

Why are you so late when you took someone else's wife out with you?

There was a reason.

I'm sorry.

Where were you?

You don't have to know.

- Did you eat? - I already ate.

I didn't eat and waited for you.

Anyway, consider what we were talking about earlier.

It's already over. There is no need to talk about it anymore.

Are you abandoning me...

just because I got fired?

I wasn't fired. I'm on leave.

You wanted to get a divorce so much a while ago.

It's easy to say so but getting a divorce isn't that easy.

We lived together for dozens of years.

I'll consider the money you gave me as alimony.

We don't even need a lawsuit.

Just settle down in one place now, okay?

That's the only way for you to not commit any more sins.

Why are you suddenly like this?

How will you live from now on?

Don't worry about how I will live.

Min Soo is all grown up now too.

Just worry about yourself.

I can't let it happen like this.

I won't let you divorce me.

Do you think I won't be able to get a divorce because you won't let me?

Don't you know whose position is more advantageous?

I protected this family.

You already broke our family, and it's over now.

I still fulfilled all of my responsibilities.

Are you talking about your salary?

Do you think that money can make you get away with it?

I did my best within my capacity.

You showed the worst situation so your family got hurt.

Anyway, no matter what you say,

I'm never going to divorce you.

I can't end it like this.

You haven't come back to your senses, have you?

Please think about the kids too.

Su Cheol.

Can we talk for a moment?

Here, drink this.

What did you talk about when you were out with her?

We didn't talk about your family, so don't worry.

I really worked hard.

I worked as hard as I could and gave her all of my salary.

Do you think that it makes sense that she wants a divorce...

just because I'm not valuable anymore?

You don't have to accept it like that.

Are you taking her side?

How could you do that as fellow men?

Don't you know how bad you were to her?

I made some faults,

but I didn't give up.

- Sang Jin. - What?

Why do you think she wants a divorce?

Is it really because you're not valuable anymore?

You know that's not true.

You know that you're being unreasonable.

Why are you doing this? Why are you so upset?

I never thought about it before.

You might have never thought about it before, but what about her?

She should have thought about it countless times for the past years.

She's the one who endured everything...

even when she really wanted to get a divorce.

If you did so many bad things to Min Soo and his mom,

you should've prepared yourself for that any time.

Are you really going to do this as a fellow man?

Gosh, everyone is being too unfair to me.

That's right. I'm not in the position to say that to him.

In the front yard and back hill

Even the birds and baby sheep

Your lullaby makes me sleepy too.

Do you want me to give you something to drink? There's sikhye.

When did you make that?

I make it every day.

Then why didn't you send it to me?

It will go bad because of the hot weather.

You probably didn't make it to drink it yourself.

I made it just in case you might come with Yoo Yeon.

However, it's nice that you came, but I think it won't be good...

for you to stay here for a long time.

Are you uncomfortable?

It reminds me of when you were young when I see Yoo Yeon,

so it breaks my heart.

You could at least cry and blame me.

I don't know where Yoo Yeon learned it,

but she keeps all her worries inside and endures everything.

It's probably so hard for her.

I'm sorry...

for living like you.

You should be sorry to Yoo Yeon than me.

Yoo Yeon won't get hurt that way.

Will you keep talking like that?

Leave Yoo Yeon with me, and go back.

You're smart.

You should come back after taking care of every matter...

with Sang Jin and Young Hee.

I think I won't get hurt then even if you stay for a long time.

Mom, are you serious?

Even if that man is stupid and not good enough,

he's still Yoo Yeon's dad.

Before that, he was Min Soo's dad.

He was also Young Hee's husband.

Even if you won't be forgiven, just do that.

If she hits your cheek, let her. If she spits on you, don't avoid it.

If she curses at you, just stay still, and listen.

If you don't, you and Sang Jin will have to live like this forever.

You must be so upset.

I'll get you something to drink.

(Episode 26 will air shortly.)
