Original subtitles

Mrs. Choi.

I didn't know I would run into you here.

I don't think this is a place where you should be coming and going.

-What are you... -What reason I would have to come here...

is none of your business.

I understand.

We'll head out right now.

We're late...why don't we leave?

Why don't you move?

Ga On.

From now on...I hope you don't show up suddenly like this.

How do you know that woman?

I know her through work.

Why?

Get yourself together.

Mom...

Tae Yang saw us.

He'll know everything soon.

I'm sure he will.

I'm sure he'll start squeezing our life line.

Get yourself ready. And don't think about useless things.

-If we were to tell dad everything now... -What?!

Dad is a very understanding person... Maybe...

Understanding?

The moment he finds out that Ga On's dead, he'll become the scariest person in the world.

Just like I was.

Don't be mistaken.

The one that your dad loves and cares for... is his daughter Mok Ga On.

It's not Jin Shim.

You go to your dad.

Since that bastard is here... I can't let him see me with your dad.

She came all the way out to work, then she leaves because she's tired...

Your mom's mood swings are too severe lately.

At this rate, I feel like I'm going to age a few more years before your sibling is born.

Dad.

You know...how much I love you, right?

Of course, I know.

But...why are you saying this all of a sudden?

Did something happen?

No.

Once my little sibling is born...

I'm worried that you'll be taken away, so I'm scoring points right now.

Honestly...my daughter is the only one who can lift up my moods.

Crazy bastard!

You crazy bastard! You mindless bastard!

You...you stab me in the back like this?!

It's Ho Jae's mother.

What? You got hired at a company?

Work is so busy..so you can't come home much?

Is this work?

Is this work?!

A grown man...wears an apron...

You handling onions and garlic... is that work?!

Stop it mom.

The products are getting ruined.

Do you know who I've been... counting on all my life?

To make you succeed...

Do you know...how hard I've lived?!

If you're going to be like this...

I'd rather you live as an unemployed bum all your life.

I'll work and take care of you...

So I'm saying don't humiliate your mother, and stay holed up in your room...!

Mother.

Mother...! Get up, please?

You're the one, right?

The one who filled my perfectly fine son's head with bunch of nonsense!

Oh my...Captain?

National Team Representative?

What a joke...!

Mom...stop.

None of you have ever even been by the gates of a university, right?

Work like this...

suits people like you guys who don't have any smarts!

My son Ho Jae...isn't someone who'd be doing this kind of work!

I told you to stop!

Ho Jae...

Oh my, you mindless fool!!

Oh my...how could you stab me in the back... Oh my...

How can you nail me in the heart like this?

I can't believe this...I can't live...

Ho Jae, you...

It's because of this.

I wonder if she saw it on accident?

She wasn't supposed to see it... but I guess it's all over the place.

I'm sure she received quite a shock.

I was shocked too.

Saying that this work is suited for unintelligent people...

It totally hurt me.

We have to be understanding.

In parents eyes...all they see are their kids.

Is that how it is?

Because I don't have any parents... I don't really know.

This is a first.

Jung Ki Young talking about himself.

How could you have thought this?

Do you think that in that frame of mind, I could think to take care of Jin Shim?

That's how it is.

It's right that in parents eyes... all they see is their kid.

Is this the store that the bachelors are operating?

Yes, it is!

-He's totally cute! -Oh! This one is mine!

No! Even at a quick glance, he totally suits me.

What are you talking about?!

Hey, it's there! There...

There he is! It's him! There he is...

Oppa! (term of endearment for older male).

Oppa, can you take one picture with us?

How many times is this already today?

You're so handsome! You're totally my type!

Okay, okay...I have to work, so make it quick.

We'll be quick!

1, 2, 3!

It came out so well!

Noona! (Term of endearment for older women).

Unni... (Biological or honorary older sister).

Yeon Ah...there are a lot of customers in front of Fresh Men.

Go hand out some pamphlets.

Yes.

A dog can't fix their old tricks.

It's not like that.

I really was just standing still, and they just ran towards me!

That's your problem!

How can you just stand still? You have to sell the products.

Do you think opportunities like today will come around often?

Instead of just posing because of your mood, do what you can to sell more products!

Instead of just letting them take the picture like earlier,

and having them leave empty handed.

Because Ho Jae isn't here, everyone is working harder.

Times like this...you know that you have to completely liven up the atmosphere, right?

Hurry up and go.

Noona, you're really the best! I love you!

You must be really busy.

Yeah.

I don't have time to waste with you.

-Mixed lettuce's last box is out! -Mixed lettuce's last box is out!

If you just use lettuce as a wrap when you eat meat, it's not enough!

Bitter lettuce, and chicory is the best! Hurry up and grab it!

Oh my, oh my..oh my!

Peel these onions for me.

If I come on Thursday, you prep the vegetables, right?

Yes, yes...give it to us.

I'm sorry...but it's because we're so busy... can't we do it for you next time?

Just because you've got a lot of customers, you're going to be like this already?

Forget it! I'll just go to the market, and buy peeled onions.

No...we'll do it for you.

What are you going to do?

Lee Seul Woo.

Come in. You have work to do.

Please come again!

Fresh fruits and vegetables are here! Come take a look!

There you go.

Goodbye.

You shouldn't be this slow...!

You should learn from the other guys.

Prep them.

Smile.

Customers are watching.

What do you think? Not bad for physical labor, right?

Yeah, it's not bad.

All the errant thoughts are all disappearing.

I can do it alone.

I'm trying to get rid of errant thoughts too.

There wasn't anything especially different.

Because the customers flocked in at the shop, he was busy out of his mind all day.

Really?

Should I keep watching?

No, it's okay.

You can take your hands off of it now.

I understand.

Request for bail?

Yeah.

Forget it. Don't do it.

What are you talking about?

If they accept the request for bail, you can come out immediately.

You can get your judgment from the outside.

With what money?

It's not an amount that you can take care of.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

-How are you going to do that? -Lady Hwang...

You're not the only one with friends.

I have friends too!

There are so many friends who are calling to say that they're going to help me!

You just...have to trust me and wait.

Seul Woo.

You're not doing wrong things just to get me out, right?

Seriously...

My Lady Hwang is a ghost!

I...started working at a vegetable store.

Vegetable store?

You used to say it every time we would go to the auction market...

To take a look at people working hard and learn.

Even from this point, like you said, I'm going to live with my head on straight.

It's a store where young people like me are operating it together...

And all of them really work real hard.

You're really...working at a vegetable store?

You're not doing something else?

Seriously...I said I wasn't.

All day yesterday, I was peeling onions, and prepping carrots...it was no joke!

I didn't tell you anything because I was afraid you'd be like this.

Because you'd be upset about your precious son suffering.

Why would I be upset?

When my immature son says he's grown up.

That's right.

I've matured.

So from now on...my problems, and your problems, just leave them to me.

Okay?

Yes.

Where should I meet you?

The person you are trying to reach...

Ga On, answer your phone. There's something I need to verify.

How did it go?

I got into the shop.

You did well.

With your mom as a consideration, of course you should do that.

Don't worry about the bail money.

No matter what that amount is, I'll take care of it all.

There's something I can't understand.

I heard that Ga On... has already broken up with Han Tae Yang.

Why are you going this far?

I'm just trying to get rid of the roots.

Because unless his shop is ruined... he will somehow always be connected to Ga On.

It won't be easy.

Because thanks to the advertisement they got from Mok Young Group,

the shop is doing too well.

That's good.

If you fall down from a low place, it's over with a broken leg and an arm...

But if you fall from a high place... then you're done with that.

Do well so that Han Tae Yang likes you.

He has to trust you for me to have satisfaction of investing in you.

Why?

Do you have anything else to say?

Because I take after my mother... I guess I know how to read people.

Do you remember what I said before?

Me saying that I felt bad for Ga On who grew up under such a scary and poisonous mom.

If I had the strength...

I would like to pull Ga On out of that prison too.

Stop acting like an idiot... and just worry about your mom.

If your mom gets a cold in a place like that, she'll get sick terminally.

Han Tae In.

Answer the questions I'm about to ask you honestly.

You and Ga On...

Since when have you two started contacting each other without me knowing?

What do you mean without you knowing?

I just didn't tell you because I thought you wouldn't like it if you knew.

So why did you start contacting each other?

I just met her a few times because I wanted to get close to her.

Because when I heard the girl you're dating is Mok Young Group's daughter,

I thought it was a good opportunity.

You know too... how much I adore women like that.

Is that all?

I said it is.

Since you're done with her, I have no reason to see her anymore either.

Don't worry about it.

By any chance...

Have you ever seen Ga On with Mrs. Choi?

Mrs. Choi?

I'm talking about dead Ga On's mother.

Why would Ga On be with that lady?

I saw them.

I saw them together.

I accidentally ran into her in Ga On's neighborhood...

But no matter how I think about it, I don't think it was an accident.

If it's not an accident?

I know that this thought makes no sense...

What thought?

If by any chance...

Mrs. Choi took Jin Shim...

So...if somehow...Jin Shin became Ga On...

That makes no sense!

Then there's no way that Jin Shim wouldn't have told you!

You know how close you and Jin Shim are.

And on top of that, you two even dated... so she wouldn't have done that to you.

I'm sure you're right...

I'm sure that's not possible.

Tae Yang says he saw you with Mrs. Choi.

What are you going to do now?

If he finds out that you've been deceiving him, my brother might go crazy.

So if you're going to keep lying, then lie right to the very end.

You came to the front of my house last night, right?

You saw?

The man living downstairs says there's a dog that barks every night...

so I looked down to see.

I see.

Why do you come every night when you don't even see me?

Just...because I'm worried.

Because nothing can happen to you again while you're alone at night.

I wonder what I need to do to become friendly with that dog?

That way he won't bark anymore.

Don't you have any days off?

No, I don't.

Until the shop gets settled, we said we wouldn't take days off.

I was going to ask if you wanted to go to the zoo with me on your day off...

The zoo?

Ever since I was little, I've really likes giraffes.

I've always wanted to go to the zoo myself and see when I arrived in Seoul...

But I haven't been not even once.

I haven't been there either.

But since you're busy, there's nothing we can do.

If you get some time in the future, let's go.

Let's go...to the zoo.

Let's go see the giraffe. With just us country folks.

I'm sorry...

but do you know where Mok Young Group's chairman lives in this neighborhood?

You just need to keep going down that way.

-Ah, this way? -Yes.

They're so cute.

Tell Secretary Jang that I said thank you.

It probably took time to pick them out.

I've bought all this while out and about myself.

Really?

I wanted to take care of the baby's gifts personally.

I made a lot of effort finding the time when I've been really busy.

Thank you honey.

You'll be the most wonderful father in the world.

You have a guest.

A guest?

Yes. He says his name is Han Tae Yang.

Don't do this, and go somewhere else to wait.

I'll tell the Madame, okay?

Kick him out! Right now!

You've misunderstood.

Ga On told me it's not like that.

You know that I'm sensitive these days.

It's because I'm afraid that if I see his face, I'm going to be in a bad mood.

Okay. Do as you want.

Thank you.

She says to just go back.

What did I tell you?

Just go now, okay?

Are you...crying?

I know.

Mending the holes in your socks... it upsets me enough to cry.

Um...what does that mean?

You don't let me throw out even a pair of socks.

If there's a hole, you tell me to mend them all...

There aren't any people who live like this these days.

Oh my...of all things to cry about...

So...you think it's unfair?

Yes, I think it's unfair.

Give it here. Give it here, I'll mend it.

Okay...you mend it.

W..what?

You have to mend it yourself to know how ridiculous it is.

Where are you going?

Dan Bi and I are going shopping.

What about dinner?

There are a lot of times I eat alone.

I see that shopping should be done with a daughter.

When I would go by myself, there's nothing I like...

But when you pick them out for me, I love them all.

Now that I think about it, it really has been a long time since I've gone shopping with you.

Other than me dragging you against your will when you were little, this is a first.

Let's go grocery shopping now.

Where?

I heard that young man opened a shop... let's go there.

A hard core fruits and vegetable Madame is going grocery shopping at a vegetable shop?

It's because I want to go and see. Let's go.

Let's hurry and go. Hurry.

Who are you? You can't come in here!

Didn't you hear us telling you to just go back?!

How dare you just come in here?!

Just who do you think I am?

I'm sorry.

I came because there's something I wanted to ask you.

Please allow me to meet your wife.

Just what is he saying right now?

You came here not to see me, but my wife?

Yes.

If you have something to say, say it to me.

Since she doesn't want to meet you.

By any chance...

Did my wife make things difficult for you because of Ga On?

No.

There's...something I want to ask her. That's why.

Honey!

Are you hurt?

I'm not hurt...

Honey.

I think I got really shocked.

Are you okay?

I think I'll know after some time passes.

Honey...

Since I'm nervous, stay next to me...okay?

Okay. Lay down.

He says to go back for today.

You're saying you've been waiting like this for this long?

You seem really foolish...

How can you be this foolish?

I'm...

someone who can take away that shop that you've worked so hard to set up.

Everything that you've worked yourself to death to get...!

I was born with all those in my possession already.

Someone like me...

Do you think that you can take care of me?

Yoo Bong. You're late. Hurry up and go.

Hey, how can I go when we're this busy?

I'll go when Tae Yang gets here.

Idol bachelor!

Yes!

Yes, well...

Yes, yes...it's delicious.

Hello?

Yes, it's me...

I'm really sorry, but I think I'm going to be a little late.

The shop is so busy right now.

Okay...I'll be waiting, so just take your time.

I'm really sorry... I'll be there as soon as I can.

If you have something you want to say, say it.

I have a meeting, so I can't talk for long.

You don't have anything you want to say to me?

No, I don't.

You really don't have anything to say?

Yes.

Then...

What about stories from your childhood?

You've never talked about your childhood in front of me, not even once.

Tell me.

What kind of a kid were you when you were little?

There's not much worth telling you about.

You have nothing worth telling me about...

It's not like...I grew up rough without parents like you.

Your mother...

What kind of a person is she?

Mom is...

a strong and beautiful person.

She loves me very much.

To me...

She's a precious being that I can't exchange for anything else.

You can't exchange it or anything else...

That's right.

Because if it wasn't for my mom... I wouldn't be here right now.

That's why you were able to do it.

That's why you were able to be so cold to me.

You must take after your mother a lot.

Because a person is bound to take after the person they treasure the most.

Just like in the way when I was young...

I wanted to be like my friend Jin Shim.

In my possession...

I have a fascinating lunch bag.

No matter how cold it was, if I took my food out of there, it was warm...

Even when I was starving because I had nothing to eat...

If I just looked at that bag, I no longer felt hungry.

But now...

I think that magic is gone.

-Would you like one of these? -Thank you.

-A bag of strawberries... -A bag of strawberries!

The business is going well.

Looks like it.

Seul Woo.

Hello.

Seul Woo!

You came?

The place you said you were working... was here?

Yeah, it happened like that.

Let's talk later.

I have to go back because we're so busy right now.

I'm sorry.

Okay, go back in.

I don't want to tie myself to him.

I'm sorry. They're all so busy right now, they didn't treat you properly as guests.

That's okay.

But...where is Tae Yang?

It's past time for him to come back... but we can't reach him.

Our captain has never done this before. Everyone is worried.

Then enjoy your conversation.

The phone you are trying to reach is turned off...

He's not answering his phone?

The phone is turned off.

He's not someone who'd leave the shop like this...

I'm sure it's nothing.

Tae Yang!

What happened?!

I'm sorry.

You've all suffered, right?

We were worried that something had happened to you.

Did something happen?

I'll tell you about it some other time.

Everyone, rest.

I'll finish closing up.

Seo Young!

Yoo Bong.

Why are you out here? It's cold!

I was waiting.

Because I thought you would come for sure even if it was late.

I'm sorry. I really tried to come here sooner...

I'm okay.

I'm serious.

I'm sure the zoo is closed...

Really?

We can go some other time.

Yoo Bong... you look really tired.

Since we got to see each other, hurry up and go home to get some rest.

There it is.

A giraffe.

There is a giraffe! I'll show you.

Seo Young...

Close your eyes for a moment.

Just a moment.

You can't open your eyes.

Now...

Open your eyes.

In the prairie...

If a giraffe starts running, all the other animals just start running too.

Since giraffes are the tallest...

They spot all the dangerous animals like lions and cheetahs first.

So giraffes essentially work as the wardens that protect all the weaker animals.

I see...

He's a warden.

When I see you...you remind me of a giraffe.

I do?

You're tall...you have pretty eyes...

And also your heart that worries about your younger friends...

I...really like giraffes.

Go hang on to that bastard.

Excuse me?

We have to buy some time.

So go talk to him so that bastard doesn't do anything else!

Mom.

That guy...he likes you.

He fell for you without even knowing that you're Jin Shim.

If you go hang onto him, he won't be able to refuse you.

You're mistaken about that.

I'm mistaken?

Yes. I...

Even when Tae Yang came to see me knowing everything,

I pretended not to know anything to the very end.

I stabbed Tae Yang in the heart with a knife.

Now I'm sure Tae Yang would be disgusted even with me.

If he could be that way, I'm sure he wouldn't even have came to you.

From the moment that he realized you were Jin Shim,

he should have turned his back on you.

As long as you give him hope, he won't be able to throw you away.

I can't do it.

I'm never going to see Tae Yang again.

I'm going to leave him to hate me as much as he wants.

I'm going to end it like this.

What?

End it?

End what?!

Then you and I... should we go off and die together somewhere?!

Mom.

I can't end it.

I can't end it because it's so unfair.

Do you know how I've lived until now?

I had to bury you in my chest.

I couldn't even utter a word.

In case your father who sleeps next to me heard...

Even if she appears to me in my dream, I've never been able to call out her name!

if it was going to end... it should've ended when my Ga On died!

It should've ended when I slit my wrists to follow Ga On!

You shouldn't have stepped in!

Mom...

Do you...do you know why I took you in as my daughter?

Because you saved my life...

Because you forced me to live...

So I thought of it as fate and accepted you.

I've prepared myself to live in hell for all eternity,

and I accepted you as my daughter instead of Ga On!

Have you forgotten how long I've lived with fear in my heart since meeting your dad?

Whenever someone even glances at you, my whole body shakes.

Afraid that you would make a mistake... I couldn't sleep without sleeping pills.

But...

I've won over those terrifying times, and now feel like I can finally live.

Now I thought things were finally about to get comfortable...

What is this state I'm in? Huh?

I'm shaking, fearing that I'll be thrown aside by my husband with a baby inside me.

My daughter that I've protected with my life on the line...

I'm shaking because I'm afraid that I'll get thrown aside by you...

Mom. What are you talking about? No. I'll never throw you away!

You said you were going to end it.

No matter what Tae Yang does to me, you said you'd just stand back and watch.

That's you throwing me away.

You're throwing me away.

-How many bags of peeled garlic? -Peeled garlic...6 bags.

6 bags of peeled garlic?

What about bean sprouts?

Bean sprouts...20 bags.

20 bags of bean sprouts.

Garlic...

Just a minute.

Tae Yang...why don't you go on the delivery?

Your expression is too dark right now.

Go get some fresh air.

Why are you sending him out? You should just let her leave on her own.

Then Tae Yang will keep being upset too.

Even if he sends her away, he should see her when he sends her away.

All you need to do is sign.

It's all set.

Please...!

Look at me.

I didn't know you'd still be waiting.

Do you have something to see me about?

You said you had nothing to say to me.

Just go back.

You don't have to hold back any more.

Just get mad at me.

Who is it that I'm supposed to be mad at?

Mok Ga On?

Jin Jin Shim?

Mok Ga On is a woman who already left me because she doesn't like me. And...

My friend Jin Shim...

no longer remembers me.

So who can I get mad at?

Tae Yang...

Don't say my name like that!

You don't know who I am.

To you, I'm just..

a nobody vegetable store owner that you used to see at the market.

I'm sorry.

I gave you a chance until the end.

Because I wanted to hear it from you...

Why you did what you did, I wanted to hear it from you.

But you pretended not to know me to the very end.

And you stared me straight in the eye, and pretended to be Mok Ga On to the end.

How could you do that to me?

How could Jin Shim do that to me?!

How could Jin Shim?!

I wanted to tell you too.

But I couldn't tell you.

Because I have to live as Mok Ga On.

If I told you who I was...

I was afraid that I'd go back to who I used to be.

That's why you should've told me.

You're not Mok Ga On.

You have to go back.

It's too late.

There are no roads for me to go back to the past.

Even if I told you to come back?

Then why did you come here?

What did you want to tell me that you came?

Just like I pretended not to know you...

pretend that you don't know me.

So that I can live as Mok Ga On...

Just let go.

Is that what you want from me?

I just need to erase Jin Shim from my mind?

Like I let Mok Ga On go...

I need to let Jin Shim go too?

[Happy days of Ga On and Jin Shim].

You're home.

Did you go to the hospital?

Do you...

know who Jin Shim is?
