Yun-jeong.

Jang Ok-bun.

Why are you here at this hour?

What?

Gosh, how could your husband do that to you?

How can his sister be a priority

over someone who's been his wife for 40 years?

He should be grateful for you being nice to a sister-in-law

you never knew you had.

I can't believe he wants to keep living with her.

That's what I mean.

Otherwise I wouldn't have packed my stuff and left the house this late.

I felt so frustrated.

I spent my entire life cooking for my family and frying chicken.

All that time living frugally with my stingy husband

feels like a waste now.

-I can't even look at him. -Good thinking.

He should try living without you for once.

Men think their wives should always be good to them.

They take it for granted.

Those selfish jerks.

I'm sorry for coming to you like this.

I thought I'd go to my sister's,

but she's dating someone now, so…

And getting a motel room seemed too dangerous.

I was on my way to our shop and saw your lights on.

Again, good thinking.

There's no need to apologize among friends.

Still…

We did hit a rough patch because of our children,

but we've been friends for decades.

I'm glad you came here.

Actually,

my life's been feeling so lonely and wasted these days.

My boys are busy living their own lives

and the house is too big for one person. It's scary too.

By the way, I apologize for what I said last time.

About divorce being a trend in your family.

My anger got the best of me

and the words just flew out.

It's all right. I was just as nasty that day.

I shouldn't have brought your late husband up.

I've been feeling awful about it ever since. I'm truly sorry.

Fine. Since we're both guilty, let's just chat like the old days.

-How about some wine? -I'd love that.

Wait. Do you have any soju?

Is it okay if I like you?

What?

Is it okay if I like you?

I have feelings for you.

Are you drunk?

What did you just ask me?

You must be crazy.

Are you sick or something? You're not making any sense.

I'm nine years older than you.

-I'm like your big sister. -I know that.

I know.

You don't need to emphasize that.

I know that you're way older.

You've been married once.

You're divorced.

And you have a son.

But you still have feelings for me?

I'm not some rich divorcee.

Don't smirk. You'll grow on me.

My gosh.

The way you spoke seemed suspicious,

but this is not what I expected.

People might point fingers and call me names.

Don't worry about what others might think.

What do you expect to get out of liking me?

Does this have to lead to anything?

-I like you. -Stop!

Just don't.

Don't say anything.

Don't say another word.

I'll pretend I didn't hear it. I'll head home first.

My gosh, he's insane.

Him and me? That's absurd.

Wait.

Why is my heart pounding?

Is it because I haven't been liked in a while?

Still, me with a man who's young enough to be my baby brother?

The idea of it is just silly.

Oh, this is crazy.

Yes, Da-hee. I'm almost home.

What? Mom left home?

Your mom? We talked on the phone earlier. She hung up after asking me where I was.

Why? Can't you reach her? Did something happen?

Ok-bun's missing? Why?

It's nothing, Aunt. I'll explain later. Bye.

So she's not at Aunt's house.

Where on earth could she be then?

She's not answering.

-The person you are calling… -It must be intentional.

Oh, dear. Mom must be serious this time.

Is there any other place she could've gone? Maybe a friend's house?

There's one, but she went back to her hometown after closing her diner.

I doubt she went to a motel.

She's not the type to easily walk into motels.

Where on earth could she have gone?

She should've at least told us where she was going.

-Cheers. -Cheers!

It's my eldest daughter this time.

Are they taking turns or what?

No, don't answer it.

-Don't answer it? -Why would you?

If you talk to your kids, your husband will find out.

Then he won't worry about you at all.

Let your husband worry and suffer.

As if he would.

All he cares about right now is his sister.

Whatever. Don't answer it.

You know what? Turn it off.

Take that!

Nice job.

Wait, hand me your phone.

You're so tender-hearted.

You might turn it back on and answer their call.

-I'll keep it. -There's no need…

Forget it.

I bet you'll end up answering your phone tonight.

Let me keep this.

Now let's go back to reminiscing about the old days.

Did you seriously have a crush on our Korean teacher?

Didn't he have bushy hair?

I don't know why it looked so cool back then.

I wrote him letters after letters.

You had terrible taste in men, didn't you?

My gosh. Him of all people?

With car camping becoming a trend,

many have been converting their vehicles for a more convenient trip.

Yeong-dal, shouldn't you call Ok-bun?

It's all right. Don't worry.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

If I just left--

Don't be ridiculous.

After all that I made you go through,

devoting my whole life to you wouldn't be enough.

So just sit tight and do as I say.

I hear you, but your wife…

Stop that.

We couldn't find Mom.

She isn't at Aunt's place either.

Her phone is turned off now.

What do we do? Do we really do nothing?

What else can we do?

She's not some child and she left of her own accord.

That lady is unexpectedly temperamental.

Did she have to leave the house and make me uncomfortable?

I'll be gone soon anyway.

You could call it blackmailing or say I'm offering a partnership.

If we make it big, I'll give you a huge cut.

What are those thugs up to this time?

I'm so curious. A day's wait is killing me.

Cheers.

-Gosh, that's good. -I know.

An alliance has brought us peace.

I know, it's not that bad.

Being allies does provide assurance.

You should've been honest from the start.

That being said, how did things drastically change

between you and Na-hee?

Did Jeong-rok play Cupid in a way?

I guess you could say that.

Now that I think about it,

we broke up to stop hating one another.

That alone means we weren't over.

We didn't want to be hated.

Not wanting to be hated by the other

is also love.

Did you realize that now? What took you so long?

I know. We're finally in the right place after all that we did.

Na-hee isn't sure about remarriage though, so we're sticking to dating for now.

Good thinking.

-You should give her some time to think. -Right.

Still, I'm truly happy for you.

You have ruined my chances a little bit,

but what's the use in worrying about the future?

-It's all good for now. Here, cheers. -Right.

By the way, you left your socks inside out again when I told you not to.

You just had to kill the mood by nagging me.

Can't we at least end this day in peace?

Then behave so I don't have to nag you.

-Are we battling it out? -What do you mean?

-Is that it? -What?

You jerk. Take that.

-Jerk? -That's right.

-Jerk? -Yes!

You little…

I agreed to cook breakfast,

but I happened to sleep in. Goodness, me.

Da-hee, can you get the rice?

Right, the rice.

Hold on. What's missing?

Right, the cutlery. Here we go.

Sorry, Ga-hee. I should help, but I'm late.

It's all right. Just get dressed.

Dad, breakfast is ready. Guys, come on out.

Ga-hee!

-Ga-hee… -What is it?

Where's the rice?

The rice is uncooked. Didn't you press the cook button?

I thought you did.

You went toward the rice cooker, so I assumed you did it.

Oh no.

Goodness.

Should we go out and get some instant rice?

I'll go. I'll run the whole way.

It'll take too long.

Just bring out… Right, the cereal.

Sure.

Do we have milk?

What?

It's okay. I'll do it.

I'll get up first. You guys finish up.

Yeong-dal.

I didn't think there would be any more surprises.

The sour mood is killing me.

Where did Mom sleep last night?

Did she even have breakfast?

I'm worried sick.

Ok-bun!

Ok-bun, are you still asleep?

Ok-bun.

Ok-bun, you're up.

Come on out. We should eat breakfast.

Okay. You're up early.

Maybe because I'm old, I get up early in the morning.

Come on out.

Okay. My gosh.

Ok-bun.

Ok-bun, do you like your eggs soft or hard-boiled?

Soft-boiled.

Well… Ok-bun.

Ok-bun?

Do you like your coffee hot or cold?

Hot! Make it hot! Oh, dear.

You prepared a big breakfast. What time did you start?

I don't know.

Is it because I'm old? It's hard to sleep these days.

I decided to make breakfast instead of trying to sleep.

Sit. Let's eat.

You had a lot of wine. Why couldn't you fall asleep?

It sounds serious.

It's okay. I'm used to it.

So what are you going to do today?

Don't tell me you'll go to work.

Actually, we have a large order today, so they'll have a hard time without me.

Gosh, forget about it.

This is no time to worry about an order.

You made up your mind, so don't go to work.

Your husband should suffer and learn his lesson.

You shouldn't go to the store.

Right, he'll take care of it. I'm not going to work.

Oh, right. Why do I have this here?

Isn't this your phone?

You took it last night.

You didn't want me to give in and answer the phone.

Did I? Really?

When?

Do you not remember?

When Ga-hee called me as we were drinking wine in the living room.

Is that so?

I'm quite forgetful these days.

I can't hold my liquor. I guess I was drunk.

Here. I can't keep your phone anyway.

Let's finish this and go out.

I'll leave the cafe to my part-timer and have fun with you today.

All right. Let's do that.

Let's eat.

The person you are calling…

She's not answering the phone.

She knows we have a large order today.

I thought she'd come.

She must be really upset.

Why else would she have gone AWOL with her phone off?

Yeong-dal.

Aren't you going to do anything?

What am I supposed to do then?

How can I talk to her when she's not answering my calls?

So why did you wake a sleeping lion in the first place?

She didn't let it show,

but she was stressed out since you found your sister.

You care for her because she's your sister.

But she's not a person with an ordinary personality.

Still, Ok-bun tried to put up with her

for your sake.

Is she staying at your place?

Did she ask you to act as if you don't know anything?

I wish that was the case.

Then I wouldn't have to worry about her.

I thought she was staying with Ok-ja.

Where on earth is she now then?

I should try this on. What do you think?

-That's not good. -You don't like it?

Is it pretty?

-Me? -Yes.

-No way. -Just put it on.

Gosh, you look so cute.

Try these on.

You look amazing. It's the best.

What do you think?

What are you doing?

Keep your shoulders back.

All right. Walk like a model. Right foot first.

Okay?

Go. Right and left. Right and left.

Like this?

There you go.

How exciting.

My goodness.

My shoulders were feeling stiff from making batter.

This is really nice.

I know.

People our age should do this once in a while.

Thanks to you, I'm enjoying a luxurious vacation.

I'm worried if my kids are eating well though.

They must be busy looking all over for me.

Don't wrinkle your brow

and just relax.

Let's focus on becoming prettier.

Okay. I'm such a worrywart, aren't I?

Hanging out with you today

makes me think all kinds of things.

I can't do this every day,

but I should treat myself like this once in a while.

I'm old enough to live like that.

I guess I've been too strict towards myself.

My point exactly.

You can start doing this from now on.

You've been working really hard.

You should treat yourself well

to be treated well by others.

Gosh, it feels so good.

You seem to like it.

I guess you were thirsty.

Drink a lot.

The sky is beautiful.

Monk.

There was a tablet here. Do you know where it went?

Yes.

A man thought his sister was dead and put it there.

But he miraculously found her.

He came here a few days ago and took it with him.

Wow, that sounds amazing.

Things like that do happen, I guess.

I know.

He used to come here and spend time staring at it.

He seemed so happy the last time he came.

I was happy for him.

I'm envious of them.

Of him and his sister.

So what is it?

What nonsense are you up to now?

Whether it's nonsense or a jackpot, hear me out first.

I get it. Just cut to the chase.

You know there's a subway construction site

a few bus stops away.

There's always heavy traffic there.

There's a plot of land up for auction, about 1.6 acres,

and it's in pretty good shape.

So?

I'm thinking about selling that land in lots

to the vendors in this market.

What?

Are you saying you'll swindle the market vendors?

If you say you're the president's sister,

they will buy whatever you say.

I want an extra 5%.

-Then I'll start working on it right away. -What? You want 15%?

Okay. I'm in. Yeon-hong, you are good with your petty tricks.

I'll get back to you later.

-Here. -Thanks.

That's enough. You should go now.

You should go sell meat.

Jeong-sik will take care of it.

You're straining your arms making batter all by yourself.

How can I leave? It breaks my heart.

I guess it breaks your heart, but not Yeong-dal's.

I've been working all day.

Is the batter ready?

You should hurry. I'm done frying the chickens.

-I'm doing it. -Can't you see that she's busy?

You startled me. Why are you guys yelling at me?

Time is running out, so hurry up.

Yeong-dal.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I thought you'd be having a hard time without Ok-bun.

So I'm here to help.

Gosh, you don't have to do anything.

Just eat some chicken while you're here.

No. Let me help you with your work.

Tell me what to do.

This.

Come and make batter.

You can do it with your brother.

I should get going.

Ok-ja, let's go have some patbingsu.

Gosh, you…

Does he think I don't have a mouth?

He never offered me anything to eat.

Hey, why did Ok-bun not come to work today?

Is she sick?

She seemed fine when she got off work yesterday. Perhaps…

What do you want to know? What is it?

Do you want something to gossip about? My sister is your favorite topic.

Well, not exactly.

Because she never missed work, whatever the problem was.

Hello, ladies.

Drink this.

Here.

You too.

No, thanks. You can drink it.

Why is she so mean today?

Thanks. I'll take it since you gave it to me.

Me too.

I'm sorry. I made so many mistakes.

I wasn't taught properly when I grew up, so I'm rash and silly.

I shouldn't have embarrassed my brother.

Well, it's not like we were exactly in the right.

We did it because we didn't know who you were.

Let's all forget about the past.

Yes, let's. Can I treat you as if you're my older sisters?

I guess you could.

You're already at it, and I like that.

I hope we can get along now.

Sure.

-Go on and drink. -Cheers.

Okay, then.

Really? Your mother left home?

Yes.

Gosh, your family's full of drama these days.

You suddenly got an aunt,

and your mother left home.

Exactly. It's so hard trying to get used to it.

Do you know where your mother is?

No. She turned off her phone, so we can't find her.

She turned off her phone?

She must be quite resolved this time.

That's not like her.

So I better go home early after work.

And help cook dinner.

Wait. You're going to cook?

No way.

Don't you think they'd be better off without you?

Are you kidding me?

What did you say?

Stop it.

Admit the truth.

-Will you let go? -I can't let go.

That's freezing.

Don't.

For real?

Then where on earth did your mother go?

I don't know.

I'm starting to get worried now.

She has nowhere to go.

Oh, dear. This is terrible.

It's a good thing that you found your aunt,

but that's causing other sensitive issues.

Anyway, I need to go home straight after school.

I'm sorry.

Really?

I might get sick if I don't see you.

Can you vaccinate me then?

Say "I love you."

Oh, come on.

I love you.

Twice more.

I love you, I love you.

Thrice more.

That was too much. I should've stopped. I'm so stupid.

It's a nice shirt.

Who should I ask to model for me?

Do you need a model?

Oh no. It's fine.

Do I make you feel that uncomfortable?

What?

No. You don't make me feel uncomfortable at all.

You're like my younger brother, so why would I?

I'm much older.

So?

What?

Well…

I still need to draw a line.

You don't need to.

I won't cross it if you tell me not to.

I'll just… like you on my own.

My gosh.

Does he take special lessons?

How does he know so many great lines?

What's wrong with me?

Why am I more worked up than the person who likes me?

It's so annoying.

What's happening?

Where's Dr. Song?

She left first.

Did you hear?

Yes.

That's why I'm so down.

I can't see my Da-hee today.

That's enough.

You're making me miss my Na-hee.

That's enough.

If you like her so much, why did you get divorced?

Don't rub salt in my wound. I might smack you.

I feel very gloomy today.

I should go see Mom and have dinner with her.

Let's buy her favorite sushi and go together.

My gosh. How much did we spend today?

That's at least half the money I left with.

I'd have to sell at least 20 chickens.

I don't care. I can spend this much. I don't do this every day.

The cafe's doing okay?

Yes. The part-timer's so-so.

She's not as good as your youngest daughter.

Right? Da-hee's good at things like that.

Better than her sisters.

That's so true. Especially your…

Never mind. Let me go put away my handbag.

That brat was about to bad-mouth Na-hee again.

No. She's not my ex-in-law. She's my friend.

She's my friend. My friend. We're friends.

Mom, it's us! We're… My goodness.

Hello.

Ok-bun. How about a simple pasta for dinner…

What are you doing here without even calling ahead?

We dropped by the cafe and heard you went home.

We bought sushi to have dinner with you.

Did you?

Ok-bun said she needed a place to stay for a while.

I'll go to the cafe for a while.

You can enjoy a family dinner.

-It's fine. We can eat elsewhere. -Yes. You two can eat this.

Oh. Will you do that?

Yes. We'll go now, Mom.

-Okay. -Have fun.

-See you. -Bye.

-Thanks for the sushi. -Sure.

-Bye. -Go.

Don't come out.

Get in.

What? My mom?

She's at your mother's?

Yes. We were so surprised to see her there.

We went in with sushi and your mother was sitting on the couch.

Why? Why go to your mother's of all places?

This is incredible. How unexpected.

She was right under our noses.

Our dad would've passed by the place to and from work

without knowing she was there.

This is crazy.

We thought of calling you to share the news,

but your house was on our way home,

so we decided to tell you in person.

We're here to share the news and see you as well.

I got it. Thanks a lot.

Na-hee.

Thanks. We have to tell our older sister.

Thank you. Bye.

But…

She left just like that.

I was hoping to see her for at least 30 minutes.

We should've called them like I said.

You agreed to come here.

Didn't you say it was a good idea?

Come to the passenger's seat. I'm not your driver.

Why do you always vent at me?

Don't talk back to me!

Really? Mom's at Gyu-jin's mother's place?

She's crazy. How could she go there?

There was nowhere else to go?

Exactly.

I was so astonished when we heard the news.

"We"?

You heard it together? Where?

What?

What Da-hee meant is,

Gyu-jin told me about it on the phone.

Da-hee was next to me.

So we heard it together like this.

Yes, that's right. That's what I meant.

I see.

You two are like a Hollywood couple.

Your ex-husband called you about such news?

Yes, of course. We even work together.

We decided to be cool, and we are.

They're so cool. It's almost giving me the chills.

It's admirable.

What should we do about Mom?

Just pretend not to know?

Goodness. Where did I put it?

My gosh. It's strange.

Are you looking for something?

My phone is nowhere to be found.

I know I left it here after eating sushi.

Can you call my number for me?

Yun-jeong.

My gosh. What?

Isn't that your phone in your hand?

My gosh. What is this doing here?

Goodness.

All this time, I thought it was the TV remote.

How silly of me, right? Oh, dear.

Mom!

What are you doing here?

I went to buy fruit

and thought of buying some for you two.

Goodness, what's gotten into you today?

This isn't like you at all.

First, the sushi, and now the watermelon?

Don't be ridiculous.

Why are you so suspicious of me?

Put this in the fridge. It's tastier when it's cold.

-Right, okay. -Watch your step.

Your daughters are waiting at the bakery near here.

They won't leave until you come out.

I fulfilled my duty as a messenger, so goodbye.

Mom, I'm leaving!

You're leaving? At least stay for some juice…

Will Mom show up?

Of course. We came all the way here for her.

Why do I feel like she won't show up?

She seems so determined this time.

An ex-husband is quite useful in your case.

Even your ex-brother-in-law is cooperative.

Maybe it's because he works with you too.

That's one reason.

There's also another.

Please let Mom walk through that door…

It's Mom!

-Mom. -Mom!

That's right.

I feel humiliated in front of you girls.

When I set my foot out the door,

I realized I had nowhere to go.

Even after the huge fight we got into, I found myself

ringing her doorbell at that late hour.

I didn't get it when I first heard the news,

but that's not what's important right now.

When will you come back home?

Why should you leave when the person who should go is sitting at home?

It's like she pushed you out the door herself.

Exactly.

You should come home now.

Dad may not show it, but I'm sure he's deeply worried.

She's right. Come home with us, Mom.

No.

I won't give in like this.

I've been thinking a lot these days.

All my life,

I figured that we were on the same page even though he never said anything.

That was far from the truth.

Your father had no intention of understanding me

no matter how upset I am.

I know he's not a bad man.

I also know the guilt he has for his sister.

But I'm not your father.

So why must I understand and endure everything for him?

I'm not a saint, you know. I'm a human being.

There are things I don't like

and things I just don't want to do.

So why…

Why doesn't he ever think about my feelings?

All right.

Do what you want.

I think you should.

She's right.

Still, keep your phone on and take our calls.

That way, we won't worry.

If you agree to that, I'm on board too.

All right.

In that case, don't tell your father where I am.

Got it?

The toothpicks were here somewhere…

Honey, the toothpicks…

Why can't she leave them somewhere easy to find?

Darn it.

Where on earth is this woman?

Doesn't she care about what's going on here?

CALL RECORD

They sure called me a lot.

My gosh.

MY BITTER HALF

What?

Why did you call me?

Hello?

Where are the toothpicks?

What?

Where are they? Why did you have to hide them?

You called me just to ask where the toothpicks are?

Pick your teeth with your fingers or ask your sister to buy some for you.

Why on earth are you yelling?

Must you be this way?

You're acting like a kid.

You left home and didn't come to work.

-Where on earth are you? -Why should I tell you?

You're still not sorry about anything, are you?

This isn't something you have to run away for.

All I want is to live with my long-lost sister.

Yes, it's a good reason for me to run away.

This isn't about you wanting to live with your sister.

I'm sick and tired of how inconsiderate you are of me.

I don't want to take you back.

If you're unhappy too, just divorce me!

Honey?

How can he be this selfish?

Now I finally understand why old couples end their marriage.

My gosh.

Is she kidding me?

Divorce isn't some word you easily spit out.

Her temper just gets worse and worse.

You've got to be kidding me.

A divorce?

Gosh, things between them must be worse than I thought.

I should go as soon as I'm done with this job.

I don't want it to blow up in my face.

MOM

Yes, Mom. What is it?

What? Were you hurt?

This is why I told you not to go diving.

Okay. I'll ask your friend to sort things out for you,

so come to Seoul tomorrow.

I'll get you an appointment with a doctor.

Gosh, talk about not having any customers.

Tell me about it. It must be due to the hot weather.

I'm worried I won't have enough to pay rent this month.

Should I get an extra job?

Ladies, shouldn't you get some lunch?

Well, we should, but…

I barely earned any money today,

so I'm thinking of skipping lunch entirely.

Gosh, that's absurd.

You work in order not to starve yourselves.

Come on. Let me treat you to a cool bowl of kongguksu.

Really?

You'll buy kongguksu for us?

My business is slow, but my appetite is still intact.

Gosh, this is good.

Yes, it's nice and nutty.

Please enjoy. Have the pancake and dumplings too.

MR. HAN

Goodness, Mr. Han.

I have been getting curious. How did it go?

It doubled already? That's almost 40 million won then.

If there are no buyers, I'll open a shop there myself.

All right. Of course, I'll treat you to a decent meal.

I owe you so much.

Sure thing. Call me again with more news.

What was that about?

Are you going to start a business?

No, not exactly.

You know they're constructing an extra exit for Jungang Suro Station?

Someone I know is building a commercial building there,

and it hit the jackpot thanks to the subway exit.

I had already bought a unit for 20 million won, but now,

someone even offered to buy it for 40 million won.

You invested 20 million won and it doubled?

-That's amazing. -Exactly. Lucky you.

The owner didn't want to sell the units to strangers, so I picked one up myself.

I was going to pay off my debt once that was sold.

The thugs were so impatient though.

I see.

Anyway,

could one still buy one of the ownerships?

I'm not sure.

He's against selling it to strangers, you see.

Should I make an inquiry for you?

We are quite close.

Yes, please ask on behalf of us.

In this day and age,

it's not easy to invest and double your seed money.

Can you look into it for us?

Sure thing. I'll ask him.

Still, don't get your hopes up too high.

Right.

She should help us out if that's why she came.

It's been two hours since she went out for lunch.

Yeong-dal, aren't you going to look for Ok-bun?

Yeong-dal!

What? What is it that you want me to do?

He's not the same. Yeong-dal has completely changed.

He was never the expressive type, but he still loved his wife very much.

That all changed after he found his sister.

Even I'm upset about how Ok-bun is being treated.

So that's how it'll go.

Isn't she Yeong-dal's sister?

That's the loan shark who came to collect her debt.

She already paid off her debt though. Why on earth is she meeting with him?

Consider it understood. Anyway, I'm off.

Where are you off to? Stay for a meal.

Come on. I haven't eaten yet. I'll buy.

What do you say?

There's a delicious place nearby.

What's going on?

Hold on.

They seem pretty close.

Still, I'm at least relieved to know where Mom is.

Even though it's my mom's place?

Before they became in-laws, they were friends.

Although they weren't exactly like best friends.

Don't you think they have an odd relationship?

After fighting like that on the street, they went back to being allies.

Is it because they're old friends?

Maybe it's a love-hate relationship.

Even though they hate each other's guts,

they go back to missing each other's presence.

Like a married couple?

Yes, like a married couple.

Right, like a married couple.

Well, that's my cue to leave.

Da-hee and I are eating outside today.

You can eat at home if you're worried about people seeing you.

I'll get going.

I'm leaving.

What do you say? I'll cook ramyeon.

That's all you have to offer?

Well, it's my special recipe that includes shrimp, crab, and other seafood.

Seafood ramyeon? That doesn't sound so bad.

I know where my mom is too, so I'm on board.

Okay, good.

Why are you looking around? You were here once before.

No reason.

It just feels odd to be back here.

I can't tell if this place

feels new or familiar.

This is new though.

Hey, this isn't mine. It's Jae-seok's.

That jerk.

I know. There's no chance of it being yours.

The room's the same, right?

My mom changed things up, but I put everything back.

I can see that.

Even the bedsheets are the same.

Why? Does it feel odd?

Yes, a little.

I've been on a long path,

but here I am again in this room.

Tell me about it.

This is where our marriage began.

Why are you smiling?

Do you remember

all the childish acts you did in this house?

One time, you didn't want to shower,

so I cleaned you up here with wet towels.

I can't believe that actually happened between us.

Do you miss it?

As if.

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

I'm astonished by the fact that you're here.

Let me look at you for a few minutes.

Come here.

I wonder if Na-hee and Gyu-jin are having a good time.

Probably.

You have no idea how much he grins these days.

His cheekbones always stay up.

They still love each other, so why did they get divorced?

It's a mystery to me.

We won't get it since we've never been married.

But looking at my mom and dad these days…

What is it?

When things are good,

it seems like they'll always be on the same side.

But they also come into conflict in a second.

I never thought my parents would fight over something like that.

I know.

Marriage is like two strangers living together.

So,

do you still have a negative view on marriage?

Not really. It's not that I feel negative about it.

I just need to study and have a lot of things to do.

What about you?

For me, it depends on whom I marry.

I guess it might be worth giving it a shot.

You've changed. You didn't want to get married before.

I know.

I guess I've changed after I met you.

Oh, dear.

Anyway, don't you think it's about time we talk to each other differently?

-Do you remember what we said? -What?

Oh, I remember that.

Do you want to speak more casually?

Actually, I do.

I want to talk to you more casually

and I want you to do the same.

If that's what you want, let's do so when we're alone.

All right then.

Jae-seok.

It's nicer than I thought.

Two more times.

Jae-seok.

Jae-seok.

Three more times.

I'm sorry, Da-hee.

Da-hee, wait. I'm sorry.

Wait up.

I'm sorry.

Da-hee.

Jae-seok!

-Honey. -Yes?

I should go to your parents' and make dinner tomorrow.

Mother isn't home now.

Really?

Actually, I've been worried about Dad.

I'd appreciate it if you could do it for me.

Let's drop off the kids and go grocery shopping.

What?

What? Nothing.

You're pretty.

Gosh, what was that? That's so cheesy, Dad.

Don't you think so, Smiley? What a lovey-dovey couple.

What is "lovey-dovey"?

Seo-jin, you don't need to know that.

It's not a good word.

I want you to learn only good words. Okay?

What?

Whose handkerchief is this? I've never seen it before.

-Seo-yeong, is this yours? -No, that's not mine.

It's mine.

-Are you going to school, Ji-hun? -Yes.

Ji-hun, have a good day. I should go in.

Watch out for cars.

Hyo-sin, did you fight with my mom?

No. Why would we fight? We're not kids.

Let's go. I'll walk you to school for exercise.

Really? That's great.

I'm going to training in the evening today.

Do you want to exercise with me after work?

Will you come to the gym?

Well…

Why? Your academy starts late today.

Hyo-sin.

Will you play soccer with me instead of judo today?

Soccer?

Yes. We're having a soccer match next week.

And I don't think I'm good enough.

I'm a defender.

If the defense is bad, the other team will score goals.

Sure. I'm good at soccer.

I knew you'd be good.

Okay. I'll go to your school when your class is over.

-Let's go. -Okay.

-Are you excited? -Yes.

I talked to Mr. Han, and he said he could do it for my friends.

My gosh. That's great.

There's no use keeping money in the wardrobe.

-I should increase it. -I know.

The bank interest is less than 1% these days.

It's close to the subway gate so the price will be even higher than mine.

Gosh, thank you so much.

By the way, I'm such a blabbermouth.

I shared this with the clothing and rice cake shop owners.

Is there anything you can do for them?

All right then.

While I'm at it, I will ask him again.

But please don't tell my brother about this.

Why?

Is it something Mr. Song shouldn't know about?

I'm afraid so.

You know he's quite old-fashioned.

He just works hard and saves money.

So he doesn't like the idea of investing.

And if he finds out that I'm doing it with the market vendors,

he will give me a good scolding.

We'll make sure to keep our mouths shut.

I wish I could skip work and go on an outing.

I should probably talk to Chi-su.

Yeong-dal will take care of the store with his sister.

Mom, how are you feeling?

Do you like the food in the hospital? Okay.

No, you should never call me. I'll give you a call.

And I'll be there soon.

Yes. Just wait a bit more. All right, Mom.

Hello.

It's you again.

What are you doing here?

I'm going to play soccer with Ji-hun.

You must be busy taking care of Ga-hee and playing with Ji-hun.

People might think you're her husband and his dad.

You're not her husband either.

-You're just her ex-husband. -What?

Hyo-sin.

-Dad! -Hey.

-Son, did you have a good day? -Yes. What are you doing here?

Why do you even ask? I wanted to see you again.

Oh, I see.

But I promised to play soccer with Hyo-sin today.

My class is having a soccer match.

Really? Can I play with you?

You know I used to be a good soccer player.

Marseille turn. And a rabona.

No one can stop me.

Can you do that?

Hang on. I can't breathe.

I can't do this anymore.

-Son, pass the ball. -Pass.

-I'll go get the ball. -Go.

How far is it going?

Ji-hun!

Ji-hun!

Excuse me. I'd like an old-style chicken.

Gosh, I need to finish this batter.

I'm sorry, but can you go get one chicken to go?

Hurry. Make it quick.

Okay.

Hey!

What are you doing now?

Are you insane? Why were you checking my phone?

What do you want to know?

What's going on? What's the matter?

Yeong-dal, Ms. Jang was spying on my phone.

What?

Well, I was just…

I just overheard her

saying "mom" or something.

You don't have a mom.

I thought it was strange.

What are you talking about?

I'm sure you misheard me.

No. I have a keen sense of hearing and seeing.

There's no way I misheard you.

I'm sure you said "mom." You said it twice.

So are you doubting me or something?

Fine. Go ahead and take a look.

You can check if I was talking to my mom.

Here. Go ahead and check it.

Hey, that's enough.

No one's doubting you.

Ok-ja, what's wrong with you?

You shouldn't doubt her because of something you're not sure of.

I wasn't just jumping to conclusions or anything.

I'm sure that's what I heard.

Hey. Stop it.

Yeong-dal, you don't even bother to listen to me.

Fine. My ears are broken.

It's all my fault. I'm a terrible person.

Come on, Ok-ja. Where are you going?

My goodness.

Yeong-suk. Don't be too upset.

Ok-ja's a bit upset because of her older sister.

I know. But still, how could she have such an idea?

Will you stop crying?

I feel terrible when you cry.

I'm not trying to pick on her.

I heard it clearly, with my own two ears.

Yes. I know you heard it right.

How could he not even hear me out and defend his sister?

I can't stand this.

He's not his usual self these days.

He makes so many mistakes with the association

that I'm busy covering for him.

Right? He's not in his right mind, is he?

Something's not right about her.

What is she trying to do, using her distracted brother?

And who's that "mom"?

This isn't something I should just let go.

Ji-hun, are you okay?

Were you hurt?

No, Mom. I'm fine.

But because of me…

How bad is it? Are you badly hurt?

No, I'm okay.

You don't look okay. Your arm and…

Wait. You hurt your shoulder too?

What should I do with you?

I'm really okay. It's just an abrasion.

No fractures.

Yes, Ga-hee. He's fine.

Fortunately, he only got a few stitches.

"Fortunately"?

How can you say that?

How is getting stitches fortunate?

Would you say that if Ji-hun or I were hurt?

Of course not.

You should've just passed the ball to me,

but you had to show off.

If Ji-hun hadn't gone to get the ball…

What about you then? What did you do?

What?

What did you do while he jumped in to save Ji-hun?

Aren't you his dad? You should've jumped in if anyone had to.

Look at him. He's an athlete!

I was too far away.

Why are you yelling at me?

Are you angry because Ji-hun could've gotten hurt or…

Never mind. Forget it.

Hyo-sin. Are you sure it doesn't hurt?

It must ache.

It actually hurts. The anesthesia must've worn off.

What'll happen now?

It's okay. I've been hurt lots of times.

This is nothing.

Don't mind too much about what happened earlier.

My sister-in-law is very curious.

She's not a bad person.

It's okay. I guess it's natural for her to dislike me.

I caused a lot of trouble and there's your wife too.

It's not easy trying to get along with others, is it?

Well, I guess not.

Yes. It's all my fault.

I should've kept you close and looked after you.

It's all my fault. Who can I blame?

You're relying on me because you knew I'd help you.

Lie down. I made the bed for you.

These two always say it's their fault.

My goodness.

It's Seo-yeong and Seo-jin.

-Grandpa! -Hi.

-Hello, Grandpa. -Yes, hello.

Hello, kids.

-You came on your own? -No, Mom and Dad came with us.

They went to get groceries to cook you dinner.

Okay. I'll go and get changed.

-Me too. -Okay.

BILL OF SALES

They're truly siblings.

They say everything is their fault. My gosh.

Forget it. Let's not get soft.

I need money for Mom's surgery.

I'll leave after this.

I'll move to a remote place with Mom afterward.

Grandpa. I need to go to the toilet.

Can you watch Seo-jin?

Sure. Go ahead.

Thanks.

Let me see what you drew, Seo-jin.

Oh, what is this?

Oops, I got paint on me.

What should I do about it?

Oh, thank you.

You're wiping my arm.

Seo-jin, wait.

Seo-jin.

Where did you get this?

What?

Where did you get this?

Where did you get this handkerchief?

What do you mean you find our aunt suspicious?

You remember that? I thought you lost most of your childhood memories.

Should I pluck out some gray hair?

We need to do it without her knowing.

We'll do it right this time.

Sir, please start driving.

Ok-bun! Your husband's sister…

My money!

Hello, there.

Seo-jin.

Did you get the handkerchief here?

Was that friend here?

My brother.

Yeong-dal. My brother…
