Bachelor's Vegetable Store (총각네 야채가게 / Chonggakne Yachaegage)

.

What are you doing, what the heck are you doing?

-I'm sorry. -You're going to throw it out anyhow!

Why would I throw it away?!

I can make soup with it, dry it... there's a lot of uses for it!

Look at how much you have! Cheapskate!

Why you... look at the way you talk to your elders.

The cabbage must have lots of fruit flies.

The flies keep flying around.

Get lost. Get lost!

You two are the poop flies!

We're not poop flies!

Yes, you are!

If you suck off of other people's food, that's just like poop flies!

You know that's not right. Poop flies eat poop.

I guess you could say we're more like cabbage bugs?

You laugh? Let's see if you have that much fun at the police station.

-Come here. -The police station?

-Come here! -Police station?

Did these monsters cause trouble again?

Do you know these kids?

These kids were taking all my cabbage leaves.

You brat!

What have you done right to start crying!

Did I not tell you or not to stay home even if there was nothing to eat?

Oppa! .

What are you doing?

You're going to kill him!

I'm so sick of those kids, I would rather die off soon!

My fate in life is such bullshit!

My daughter is already dead, and my son-in-law ran off on his kids.

I'm left with two grandkids to feed and clothe all on my own.

I can't stand them for making my life miserable!

They don't even notice their grandma is getting old and frail...

and all they do is complain that they're hungry.

You damn kids!

Do you know how you humiliated me just now because of you damn kids?

That grandma is evil! Evil!

I'm sorry!

That man is a cheapskate.

What? Why? What!

Oppa!

It's a present.

What are you doing? Come on!

-We're back! -We're back!

Leave the cabbage outside and come in.

Okay.

Okay. Take off your pants.

Here it is.

My grandma...I wonder if there's an action school out there somewhere to recruit you?

You're the best when it comes to pretending to beating me.

And oppa, you're the best at pretending to get hit!

As for the crying act, Han Tae In, you're the best!

Yeah. Even when I think about it, I think I cry really pretty.

Oppa, should we try the butcher tomorrow?

Forget it. I'm not doing it anymore.

Why? It's been a long time since we've had any meat!

People are cursing at grandma.

Because they think that our grandma really is a bad person.

Is all the cursing bothering you?

Even it bothers you that much, then do something else instead.

Even if I want to, there's nothing I can do.

How can there be anything you can't do?

If you look carefully, there's a way for everyone.

Who cleaned the front of my store like this?

That kid is now stealing in broad daylight!

It must've been hard.

For being rooted in the ground , and having to stand alright the whole time.

And you were uprooted suddenly, and now laid out on the ground like this.

If it was me, I would be really mad and feel indignant.

What are you doing right now?

Hello.

Right now, I'm trying really hard to let you know how much I appreciate you.

Talking to the cabbage like a crazy person is what you call trying?

I thought these guys should know why I keep pestering them by moving them around so much.

Then try explaining it so I can understand it first.

I put effort into stacking my cabbage, so why are you moving them around?

the cabbage that's in the back gets sold later so they keep wilting.

If you line these guys up like this, they can stay fresh much longer.

So you'll be happy, and the customers will also be happy.

Then...I'll go back to what I was doing.

I wonder if my mom was pretty like that down to her fingertips?

They probably thought I was a strange girl.

I knew you'd be here.

Try it. I made it.

I'm sure grandma made it.

No. I made it myself to give to you.

To give to me?

I know you don't like well fermented kimchi, so I brought it while it's still fresh.

Han Tae Yang's kimchi...success!

I knew it!

The leaves were bright green and crinkly. I got a really good cabbage!

I even picked out the scallions that were lean and sturdy with the roots still attached!

If there are any questions on how to pick the right vegetables on an exam,

Tae Yang, you're sure to place first!

Too bad, right?

I...like being complimented by you better than placing first on an exam.

Tae Yang needs to get the scholarship.

No, Jin Shim should be getting the scholarship.

Do you not know how unfortunate Tae Yang's circumstances are?

If we're going by unfortunate circumstances, do you think he could compare to Jin Shim?

Tae Yang's mother passed away, and his dad ran away from home.

His old grandma is raising him and his little sister all by herself!

At least he has family.

Jin Shim is an orphan.

You know she lives in the orphanage run by the church.

We have to help her.

Jin Shim!

If you were struggling that much, you should've said something.

No kidding. We can help too.

Let's go.

Are you two dating?

You two fit well.

I'd like to introduce you to Hana Middle School's poorest couple!

Han Tae Yang and Jin Jin Shim!

-You should date! -You should date!

Stop it!

Wow. So Han Tae Yang can get mad!

Love definitely is a scary thing.

Give me my bag.

I'll carry it for you to the church.

Why?

Because we kissed?

What are you going to do if grandma hears you?

I'm sorry for scaring you earlier.

No, there's nothing to be especially sorry about.

Later on... later on even after we become adults,

I didn't like the thought of them remembering us only as the poor abandoned kids.

that's why I did it.

Now when they think of us, they'll think of our kiss today first.

I'll be going now.

Jin Jin Shim!

But...you did it because it was me, right?

Because it was me...because I'm Han Tae Yang, that's why you kissed me, right?

That's it! I'm right!

To commemorate today, I should probably get her a gift.

Since I'm the man.

Aren't you sleeping?

You need to sleep to grow.

Okay.

I wish I could grow quickly.

I need to grow quickly so...

What kind of a phone number is that?

Don't you know this?

10-10-2-3-5.

Ah...!

An oppa I met in the study room bought this for me as a birthday gift.

Now that I have this, I've become a love slave.

A love slave?

What it means is that every day it beeps, you end up thinking about that person.

It's like the feeling of always being together even when you're far apart.

You may not know it well since you're still a bit immature.

Let's go.

This is the last. You should stop playing with dolls now.

But they're my friends.

Think about your age, okay?

There are so much for you to be learning now.

Violin, horseback riding, ballet...

Those are the things that you like.

Mom, thank you!

Hey!

You're not taking your bag?

-Hey! -Come In. I'll give you your bag.

Drink it.

Do you live in this neighborhood?

You live in the church orphanage, right?

You shouldn't be asking things like that.

How...did you know?

Because you kept staring at us, so I became interested in you.

Goodbye.

Oh no! What to do!

It'll be okay, alright?

It's okay. Just hang on a little bit.

Mother, please come in for a minute.

Yes.

I guess there are kids who goes to private school even in our neighborhood.

That's why I'm a bully 24 hours a day.

I'm the only princess in the neighborhood so I don't have any friends.

And in school, I'm the poorest, so I have no friends.

It's not because of the rude way you speak?

If a bully speaks nicely, they get trampled.

Aren't there any other family members?

No, it's just the two of us.

What does it feel like?

To live with a perfect mom like that?

A mom shouldn't be perfect.

Then she would expect me to be perfect like her.

Then you can just become perfect.

You do well in your studies, right?

Well...yeah.

Please take care of me.

As of today, you're my study buddy.

Officially, you will help Choi Ga On's grades improve,

and unofficially, you play with me.

You can just consider it as teaching a bully new ways.

What should I do that?

You don't want to?

You need to take this twice a day, once in the morning, and once at night.

It's powdered medication, will it be okay?

My Ga On can't take powdered medication well.
