Two Mothers (Cuckoo Nest / Bbeoggoogi Doongji / 뻐꾸기 둥지)

Two Mothers

Junhui.

What's the occasion? Why'd you call me out?

I wanted to set you free.

Why? Am I a prisoner of some sort?

I'm just saying.

Let's go.

What do you want to drink?

The lemonade here is nice and fresh.

Okay, two lemonades, please.

Okay.

What's the occasion?

I know you're busy, so why'd you call me out?

If mom and dad hadn't forced you

to get married so early,

you would've been even busier than I am.

I know. Why did I rush into it?

Is that it?

Don't be like that.

You should start working again.

It's a waste of your skills.

Just get to the point, Baek Junhui.

Yeonhui.

Do you still meet with Mr. Yu?

I mean, Seongbin?

Why?

I'm just curious.

That's silly.

I heard you were Seongbin's first love.

Who said that? It's not like that.

About Mr. Yu... Seongbin... I love him.

He's different from anyone I've ever dated.

What does your love for him

have to do with me?

Let's just get it out of the way.

What's your relationship with him?

Junhui, I'm your sister.

This is a bit upsetting.

Don't you know that I'm married?

My mistake.

Did you know that there was

a girl who liked Seongbin?

She was the sister of his college friend.

This is really delicious.

One drumstick...

What's wrong?

We ordered two chickens.

If you eat three drumsticks,

what are me and Sora going to eat?

Come on.

Sora can eat the drumstick

and you can eat something else.

Like, the wings.

The wings are actually even better.

You can eat the wings and then fly away.

You eat it.

Please eat it, grow wings

and then get out of our house.

Fine, I'll leave.

Give me my $10,000.

You act like $10,000 is such a big deal.

Get out of here.

How can you do this to me?

I'm your little brother.

I'm just trying to get some nourishment.

Is that so wrong?

You bring tears to my eyes.

Sora, don't you agree?

You're not leaving any for Hwayeong?

I'll order more for her later

so eat as much as you like.

My sweet girl.

But where is Hwayeong, by the way?

I thought she came home early to take a nap.

Remember Gonghui?

Hwayeong's high school friend or whatever.

Hwayeong went to go meet her.

Thanks to Hwayeong,

I get to eat all these drumsticks,

but I wonder where she got the money.

Did she really win the lottery? Or did she...

Or did she what?

Do you think she robbed a bank?

I don't know.

One drumstick...

And there you go again.

- It's just food! - That's enough!

Sora, eat this.

What? You resigned already?

Yes.

I decided to accept the proposal.

I wasn't going to tell you

but you're the one who got me this job.

You're the only one who understands me.

I know I'm crazy, too.

But this is the only choice I have.

I'm sorry, Gonghui.

Don't get mad at me. Try to understand.

Gonghui.

Drink up.

Drink up I said. Drink.

Fine.

Start a new life from here on out.

I feel like drinking a lot tonight.

Did she win the lottery?

No.

Since when do you care?

Don't ask and don't try to find out.

I'm sure there's a story behind it.

You're home.

Why aren't you asleep, mom?

Take a seat.

Tell me the truth.

Where did you get the money you gave me?

Tell me. Where did you get it?

That's not for you to know.

What's wrong with you?

You won't even answer your own mother?

Why do you have to know?

Do you think I stole it?

That's right, missy.

I'm scared you might have stolen it.

I didn't steal the money

so stop worrying about it.

How could I not be worried?

You suddenly got a bunch of cash.

Tell me the truth.

If you don't, I'm going to kill you.

Since when do you care about what I do?

Didn't you ask me to bring you money?

I thought you'd be jumping for joy.

Why do you keep nagging me?

What'd I do wrong?

Tell me right now!

Mom!

Who was it?

Who gave you that kind of money?

Was it a married man?

Yes, he was a married man.

I sold my body to make money.

This body is all I've got.

What choice did I have?

Might as well sell it to make a living.

Hey, you skank!

Who told you to do that?

Who told you to sell your body for money?

Why did you do it? Why?

He says he'll give me even more.

And then you can live on it forever.

What?

Hey, missy. Are you insane?

You're too young to be a homewrecker.

What's wrong with you? I can't believe this.

I can't believe it.

Chuja, what's wrong?

Hwayeong, what's wrong with your mom?

Chansik.

Just listen to what she's saying.

The money she gave me

she got it by becoming a mistress

to some married man.

What?

Yeah. He's the man I'm seeing.

I took the money he offered me.

Is that so wrong?

Uncle, don't ask me about this either.

And mom, listen close.

I'm done living with you.

What?

I'm sick of you, sick of uncle.

I'm sick of all of you.

I'm going to live with that man.

So don't even look for me.

Just pretend like I died with my brother.

What? Pretend like you died?

Hey! Did you hear that?

Hey, how can you say that to me?

Chuja.

Pretend like you're dead?

Pretend like you're dead, you say?

Chansik, I can't stand this.

She wants me to pretend that she died.

Yes, at 11?

Okay then. Thank you.

Jinsuk, today is the day.

What?

Today,

Hwayeong will go through with the procedure.

I'm going to work.

Wait, come talk to me first.

Yeonhui, have a seat.

I was going to tell you when it was all over

but I felt that you two had a right to know.

Our surrogate is getting the procedure today.

Just pray that it will all go smoothly.

That might be easy for Byeongguk,

but it'll be hard on Yeonhui.

Come on, Jinsuk.

What's so hard about that?

All she has to do is wait until the baby's born
