The Rich Son (부잣집 아들)

What is wrong with me?

Why am I so cold and dizzy when the sun is so warm?

Mom.

I'm sick.

Mom, I miss you.

Myung Ha, come to the department office when you come to school.

I was going to study at home today.

I don't think I should meet Mong Mong for a while.

What should I do?

Oh, my.

Why didn't you go to school yet?

My classes were canceled today.

Gosh, the tuition is so expensive.

How could they always cancel classes and have no classes?

We have makeup classes later.

Still.

Why don't you go to the school library?

I was on my way.

Son.

Are you having a hard time these days?

No.

Do you think I became distant from you...

and I'm only interested in your sisters?

I'm not a child to be upset about that.

Isn't that right?

Yes, you would have already become a father at your age in the old times.

Why would you say that?

I'm going to go out later.

Come back home after eating dinner.

Okay, don't worry.

You're so good.

You're my only child whom I can trust completely.

You're also my only child whom I rely on.

Don't forget that.

Yes, mom.

Myung Ha, what's wrong?

Why aren't you answering my calls and run away?

I wasn't running away.

I was on my way to the department office.

The teaching assistant's looking for me. Do you want to see?

That's okay. But why aren't you answering my calls?

You're ignoring my text messages.

That's...

because I was studying.

I failed my tests because of you.

I'm about to lose my scholarship.

- What? - Think about it.

I didn't have time to study because of you.

I tried hard to get a seat in the library,

but I couldn't study because I had to follow you around.

Before I met you,

I had a 4.0 GPA and received a scholarship.

I also received a scholarship when I was in China.

I came to study in Korea because I have good a GPA too.

Good, let's stop meeting and focus on study.

Let's see who gets better grades.

Mong Mong, are you feeling okay?

I'm not sick.

You don't have to worry about me.

She's all okay now.

That's good.

Hello?

Soo Hee, please come outside.

Come outside.

What's wrong?

Where do you want me to come?

Let's go out. Hurry up.

I'm not going out.

If you won't, I'll go inside.

Will that make you happy?

Come inside and have a cup of coffee.

Where do you want to go?

Let's get some fresh air and bathe in the sun light.

You don't have an appetite and you're not sleeping well...

because you're always at home like that.

Here. Who do you think made this?

Did you make it?

When I was young,

my mom made meals like this because we were poor.

When I was abroad,

it reminded me of this meal...

when I was sick or in a mentally difficult situation.

It's like a type of soul food for me.

Try it.

- It's delicious. - See?

It's nice to see you smile like that.

When I had dinner at your house...

while I was your tutor,

I tried bulgogi for the first time.

I thought it was the most delicious thing on earth.

It was soft, sweet, and tender.

People always had it but I wondered why I tried it for the first time.

You always ate snacks since you were picky with even that kind of food.

- Can I have some more? - Of course. Suit yourself.

Does your wife know that we're seeing each other like this?

Why? Does it bother you a lot?

I don't want to cause trouble for you.

No.

My wife would thank you.

Honey, isn't that right?

My wife passed away three years ago today.

She suffered for a long time before she died.

You must have been shocked and sad...

because Mr. Lee passed away so suddenly.

But it's still shocking and sad even when she suffered for long.

She was weak since she was born.

She had a difficult time having a daughter.

She was a poor woman who was abandoned by her husband.

- What about your daughter? - She's my wife's daughter.

She's cute and nice.

When I called her that I met the woman who I used to love,

she said, "Dad, congratulations."

She's a nice girl who congratulated me.

I also have a son.

I know.

Not him.

I have another child.

I haven't reconciled with him yet.

Young Ha, what happened to Gwang Jae?

What went wrong with him?

I'm also not sure.

But I think that happened to him on his first day.

I have a favor to ask you.

I wish you wouldn't tell people...

that he went to work at a place like that.

Of course, I would never do that.

If people ask how he got out,

my name will be mentioned.

If your uncle knows that I went to places like that,

he'll divorce me.

Don't say anything about it.

You'll also keep your word, won't you?

Of course.

Your mom is fast at catching things like this.

Even if she keeps asking,

you should never mention my name.

Don't worry.

Promise me.

- You don't have to do this. - No, I must do this.

This is our secret that we should take to our graves.

Hurry.

You're a traitor if you even mention a word.

- Promise me. - Gosh.

Oh, my. You startled me.

Don't you know how to knock?

Knock knock.

Young Ha, what were you talking about?

What? It's nothing.

But...

you were pinky promising each other.

You're not children, so it's strange.

Why is everyone here?

- Let's decide. - Okay.

Young Ha and Young Ae are a little strange.

What made you pinky promise...

each other?

What are you talking about?

Why is it so strange?

Young Ha and I promised...

each other to remain close...

even when time goes by.

- Isn't that right? - Yes.

Young Ha,

what is Gwang Jae doing and where is he staying these days?

What? How would I know?

Hurry up and find him.

Handsome boys might get in trouble.

His life will be over...

if he ends up working at a host bar.

Who knows if he's working part-time at a place like that?

How could you say such unlucky things?

Don't even say things like that.

Aren't I right?

He only knew how to spend money.

But his family is bankrupt, who will be able to give him money?

He's handsome.

Women aren't the only ones who are dragged to work there.

Women who are financially able...

sometimes go to places like that.

How do you know so well?

I know because I've been there.

Did you really go to places like that?

Yes.

I think Young Ae must also have been there.

How dare you think of me like that?

How could you say that?

How could you say that if you respected me?

You can just say so if you haven' been to one.

Why are you so upset?

Are you guilty?
