Recipe for Farewell (It Might Be A Little Spicy Today / Oneuleun Jom Maeuljido Molla / 오늘은 좀 매울지도 몰라)

Hello?

Hey, Dad.

Did you sleep well?

Hey, Jae Ho.

What's up?

Nothing's wrong with your mom, right?

No, she's fine.

- Are you up now? - Yes.

Yes, I am.

What time is it?

It's 10 a.m.

What?

You have a lecture today. I called in case you were still asleep.

I'd better head out.

I'll be back late afternoon.

No need to rush.

You can take your time.

Okay, then.

My son is...

so kind.

I should get a new blow dryer.

It's too old.

There are so many ripe blueberries on the blueberry tree.

I'd better harvest them soon.

I have so much time...

now that I don't need to cook daily,

but I've gotten worse...

at caring for those around me.

I misunderstood you.

(Episode Eleven: You're the Juice You Make)

I thought you were just soft-hearted, keen on details, and warm.

I didn't know you could be so indifferent and rough.

Of course,

because you were always keen on details when it came to working.

I should've known you had changed...

over the time I've aged and changed.

I guess I was too oblivious to that.

Oh, no!

Sorry, Mom.

I'm fine.

Still, I'm glad...

we have the time to get to know each other...

once again.

- Mom! Dad! - What?

What do I do?

Turn the heat down!

Turn it down instead of off?

Can you get some water?

I wonder how things would've been...

had I not asked you to come to the hospital with me that day.

Be careful.

What if we divorced,

and you found out about this later?

Would you have been mad at me?

Or...

would you have been glad?

It feels...

as if my illness has brought our family back from falling apart.

It's like it was planned.

I learn...

how to control pain here.

I take slow breaths...

or massage where it hurts.

But my favorite way...

is to use my imagination.

It's so spicy!

What did you add to this?

This.

- This is a Thai chili. - Yes.

How many did you add?

Just three small ones.

Give me some water.

Iced water, please.

Isn't that Jae Ho?

- Should we pick him up? - No, we can just go.

They seem to be on a date. We shouldn't interrupt.

I miss going on dates.

It's so good!

It's so good.

Thinking of the times and places I felt happy.

Here you go.

Thank you.

- Professor, - Yes?

your class for the next semester is already full too.

- Already? - Yes.

Didn't course selections just end?

Your lectures are so good...

that many take your course multiple times.

Is that right? I appreciate that.

So, we talked about this during our meeting...

and were wondering if you could open another course.

So many have requested a humanities course from you.

Another one?

I mean, not right away.

Maybe next semester.

I don't know.

I'll think about it.

Please do.

Thank you.

Sun Hwa,

Yes?

I'm sorry,

but could I...

get the deposit advanced?

Sure, you can.

I'm terrible with confrontations,

so why did I...

ask you to do such a thing?

But no matter how hard I thought about it,

I couldn't think of anyone...

but you.

Jae Ho.

Sorry, I'm a bit late.

I'll be there in ten minutes.

It's fine, Dad.

Take your time.

Okay.

Thanks for telling me...

you'd have done the same...

if you had been in my shoes.

Yes, I would've done so too.

Dad is coming soon.

Do you need anything else?

Our son is just like you.

I wonder...

how you two will live once I'm gone.

I'll be right back.

Don't worry.

You'll be late. Hurry.

See you later.

- Bye. - See you.

Here.

Thank you.

- How did the lecture go? - It was okay.

It's the same old.

You should do your best.

You should be grateful for the people who are there to listen to you.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll be a good lecturer.

There he goes again.

- Where are you going? - Sorry?

Well, this.

Chang Wook bought some food. I'll quickly go out and eat.

No need to hide.

You can just eat here.

Yes.

I asked him to buy it on the way here.

I felt bad watching you eat hospital food every day.

- Hurry and eat. - Okay.

The restaurant is so generous...

for just a tiny neighborhood restaurant.

Their fish is always fresh too.

That's abalone.

There's a seabream one too!

A herring nigiri!

Honey.

What am I doing?

I'm sorry, Da Sol.

You can eat.

I understand how you feel,

but Ms. Jung...

can't digest any food right now.

It'd be nice if she could just taste some food,

even if she can't swallow it.

Stage four colorectal cancer patients...

normally don't want food.

They instinctively know their bodies can't take food.

Ms. Jung probably wants to eat...

because of her memories.

So, are you saying...

she can't ever eat again?

You, as her family,

shouldn't hide from her when eating,

but instead, talk to her...

and make her feel at ease.

Food-related memories...

don't only live in our taste buds.

It'd be nice if I could do anything.

Then...

Well,

Well, I'll check how she's doing...

to see if she can drink something.

Okay.

- Please help her. - Yes, sir.

You can go home now.

It's 11 p.m. now.

Da Sol,

I'll be here this weekend.

You should take the weekend off.

Spend some time with Tae O too.

Okay, then.

Let me know if you can't come, though. I'm free.

Thank you.

I'll come as soon as school is done.

Get some rest until then.

Should I bring anything when I come back?

Do you need anything?

Fruit juice.

Fruit juice?
