Once Again (I Have Been There Once / Han Bun Danyeowasseubmida / 한 번 다녀왔습니다)

- Chi Su, hold on. - Yes?

Let's go for a second round of drinks.

You're already wasted. Call it a night.

Don't be ridiculous. I'll buy!

My gosh.

Wait, my wallet. Where's my wallet?

Where did you lose your wallet?

I'll head back to the restaurant we were at. Wait here.

All right.

Wait here and don't go anywhere.

- Freeze! - What?

I want to drink some more. Chi Su, let's have another drink!

Ma'am, did you perhaps see a wallet lying around?

It's my friend's who was sitting there.

Is it this?

Some lady picked it up and left it with me.

Yes, this is it.

Thank you so much. Have a good one.

- Good night. - You too.

- Cho Yeon! - Are you serious?

Why would you close your business?

Is it because of those thugs outside?

Just let them know where Yeon Hong is hiding.

Why must we suffer because of her?

It's not because of Yeon Hong.

I'm doing it for the market.

No matter how much I hate her,

I can't hand her over to those guys.

That being said, I can't let them...

lurk around and disrupt the market.

And if I stay,

they'll come back when we least expect it...

and take out their anger on us.

Still, this is wrong.

We were starting to gain regulars.

I'm upset about it too.

But this happened when we were finally settling in.

Maybe the market people were right about us...

not fitting in.

That's not our fault, but Yeon Hong's.

On top of that,

I'm exhausted.

I don't want to care about anything...

and just take some time off.

I'll split some of the deposit money with you,

so cover your expenses with that and think of what you'll do next.

Whatever I do, I want to do it with you.

I don't want us three to split up.

Me too.

We promised to run our business here for many decades to come.

I'm sorry...

for breaking our promise.

But there's no other option.

We need to split up.

I'll talk to the landlord tomorrow...

and quickly move things alone.

Just know that.

- Hey! - Dad?

My wife!

- Careful. - My gosh.

Be careful.

Wait, it's my eldest son, Song Joon Seon.

- Dad? - Dad.

Why did you drink more than you can handle?

Ok Boon, you must've been worried about me.

Sorry.

- I'm sorry. - My gosh.

- Dad, be careful. - Honey!

Goodness me.

You should've told me you were going out.

You didn't even answer your phone.

I was a few minutes away from reporting you missing.

Again, I'm sorry.

I was resting in bed,

but I couldn't stop hearing Young Suk's cries in my head.

Honey, please.

I promised that I'd come back for her,

but once again,

I was too late.

There's no brother like me in this world.

I have no right to be her brother.

It's not your fault, honey. You know that.

Would Young Suk agree with you?

Young Suk...

Is she even alive? Darn it!

My gosh.

Goodness.

Honey, please.

Honey...

Goodness me.

Who knew our father had such a sad past?

Being who he is, he must've had a hard time coping with it.

I'm sure he blamed himself all his life.

There you go.

Are you just getting back? Have you had dinner?

How about I cook something? Tteokbokki?

It's fine. I had ramyeon with friends.

Is this you?

Of course.

It's the only family photo I have.

No way.

Could...

Mr. Song and Cho Yeon be...

You were raised in a temple, right?

And you don't remember anything because you were sick.

But you still have a family photo though.

Have you ever thought about finding your family?

I've tried. I even hired a private investigator,

but I didn't hear any news.

So I just gave up. It felt like a futile effort.

What now?

Should I tell Yeon Hong first?

Yes, I should. Of course, I should.

Is he the merchant association president?

He must be quite rich.

What?

You want to move out as soon as possible?

Yes, I only just moved in, so I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

I'll let the real estate agency know...

and keep paying the rent...

until you find another tenant.

No, that's not necessary.

The spot attracts a lot of potential tenants anyway.

They'll come knocking if I just lower the rent.

Still, why are you moving out so suddenly?

Did something happen?

Many things, actually, including a personal matter.

I feel terrible to do this to you.

If you need time to pay back the deposit,

I can spare a few days...

No, it's fine. I'll wire it to you right away.

Instead, can you tidy out the space...

before you leave?

The tableware and tables cost a lot to throw out myself.

We'll call it even then.

Sure, we'll clear out the space for you.

Don't worry.

I know it hasn't been that long,

but I'm still grateful for everything you did for me.

- I wanted an Americano. - It's better with sugar and cream.

I see you don't know your coffee.

Iced Americano is the best.

My goodness. You've been awfully busy this morning.

Why did you open the diner yesterday?

I was worried that you had fallen sick.

- Are you all right? - Cut the pathetic sweet talk...

and follow me inside. We need to talk.

Just the two of us? Talk about what exactly?

What's this?

It's what you people most love.

I'm closing up the diner.

I talked to the landlady and got my deposit back.

So you won't get lucky...

no matter how often you come by the market.

But why?

I'll be gone by tomorrow.

So either take this and leave...

or lurk around as much as you want...

for nothing.

Do you really not know where she is?

How many times must I say this?

Do my eyes seem like they're lying?

I can't be sure.

Are you kidding me?

This doesn't even cover one month's interest.

- As you wish. - If that's what you want,

then I'll be more than willing to accept it.

Okay.

Promise me this though.

You won't come by this market again.

I'll have no reason to be here once you're gone.

I had no idea Yeon Hong had such a good friend.

It's unexpected.

Anyway, maybe we'll cross paths again.

Okay, ladies. See you around.

Still, give me a hint as to where she is and...

Fine, I'm leaving.

What a jerk.

Why would you pay him when you're moving out?

This is what'll speed things along.

They've caused enough trouble at the market.

I wired you some money too, so check your accounts.

Also, call Yeon Hong...

and tell her that the goons left.

I'm exhausted and in need of a rest.

Got it.

Really? They left?

Yes, I saw them leave.

That's odd. They're not ones to give up so easily.

How naive are you?

Cho Yeon paid them to leave the market alone.

What?

With the deposit money for the diner.

She's closing up for good.

She's leaving the market? Why? Because of those thugs?

Who knows?

She's upset as it is and wants to rest.

Anyway, we'll be gone by tomorrow,

so you can be on your way too.

Darn it.
