Rascal Sons (The Sons / Adeulnyeosukdeul / 아들 녀석들)

What got you out of bed?

I'd hear about it if I slept in.

Not up yet?

Nope. She was up till dawn, thinking, I guess.

Not thinking so much as giddy.

Come on.

You heard.

After 38 years of misery she can finally let loose.

No wonder she couldn't sleep.

She just said that in the heat of the moment.

Uh-huh, you know how I feel.

Hm? You know, don't you?

. . . owie . . .

You okay? You checking your blood pressure?

Where's the pressure-thingy?

Forget it.

At my age, my wife leaving me, what do I have to live for anyway?

Father.

As of today I'm a widower.

I'm better off dying and getting it over with.

That should please everyone.

Woohoo...

I knew if I waited long enough. Free at last.

Dreams DO come true.

Hey, lady, ever hear of Golden Years Romance?

Boom-chicka-wah-wah...

Are you up?

Come on in.

What are all these? You'd think you're leaving the country.

Your dad get up?

Mm, just now.

You're taking all that?

I wouldn't ask a cat to watch my fish, would I?

Don't be that way.

Dad feels really bad about this.

When did Aram get in? I didn't hear anything.

She slept at her grandma's.

Again?

Well, I called to go get her, but she was asleep, so, you know.

So wake her up. It's not Saturday. There's that outing today.

I'll pick her up now. Plenty of time.

No more of this. She has a bed. Why sleep there of all places?

Where did this come from?

It's not the first time she slept at her nana's place.

First time, last time, her mother has been gone a while now.

Go get Aram right now.

Yes'm.

That boy. Too wishy-washy for his own good.

Hey.

Collecting Aram?

How did you know?

What else would you be doing here?

A bit early for you.

You work all night at the studio?

Sure. I was going home at dawn but Jin called about something or other.

Hey.

Hm?

Something wrong?

Sinyong's back today. A minute's like a year for the poor guy.

Five years is long enough for anyone.

What about you? You miss her, too.

Whatever, that was 10 years ago.

Come on.

Yeah, yeah, what are friends for?

Mingi?

Uh-huh. And Mr. Lee.

My brother-in-law?

Ah, for Aram.

Hey, Mom.

Hey.

Good morning.

It is. But you're early.

I'd have gotten Aram up if I knew.

I know.

Aram?

Sleeping.

I figured I'd wake her up when the rice rolls were done.

My mom's making the rice rolls.

Oh?

Yeah.

Well, eat something at least. Soup is almost ready.

No, I can't. I'll eat at home.

Aram has that field trip. I have to get her home.

Coffee, at least.

Mom, stop already.

You do this every day. You're wearing him out.

Every day? I didn't see him last weekend. It's been forever.

Wearing him out?

Am I bothering you?

No. Never.

She's got to get up and dressed, so coffee, yes, please.

You, too?

I'm good.

Hang on. You wanted to talk.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Is today the day? The in-laws are splitting up?

Mm. Why?

He didn't look so good. Must be why he hasn't been by.

I suppose. Knowing him, he didn't get any sleep last night.

Aram, sweetie.

Aram, time to go home.

Aram. Sweetie!

You'll wake the neighbors. Move.

She won't get up.

Aram.

Open your eyes on the count of 3 or tickle-tickle.

1... 2...

Sheesh, what a faker.

A show for daddy, a good morning show.

Daddy, good morning.

You.

Wash up, chop-chop.

Her mom and I aren't like that. Where's she get it from?

Seunggi, of course.

He's the showman in the family.

Hello. Yes, sir.

Now? Why?

Professor Na? That's not till the weekend.

No, nothing, sir.

Leaving so early on my day off, what about my wife?

Pssh.

Really? Well, that's that, then.

Yes, sir. Right. Yes, sir.

Ugh, what a pain.

It's just, you know, the boss called.

You know, I told you.

Mr. Na. We were supposed to play this weekend.

So?

So one of the members had something come up.

So you have to go?

Mm. Ten o'clock tee off.

I may not make it.

Why you standing there? Get changed.

Huh? Oh, oh, right, sure.

Sorry, baby.

You know you're the only one for me?

Ah, right, the children's park. Shall I take Boram alone?

Why? You were just there.

Call it off.

Okay. You get cleaned up.

I must have been awesome in my past life.

Best wife in the world.

Off I go.

What is it with you two?

You're both getting what you want.

A happy divorce, a second chance?

Enough.

Divorce? Just a trial separation is all.

If you're done brush your teeth and get changed.

C'mon, let's go, Aram.

What did he do wrong?

Knock it off, for his sake.

Neither of you are pouting. He is.

Why?

Aram. He'll be on his own with her after tomorrow.

Yes. That worries me.

He'll still have his in-laws.

Mom, it's not easy to remarry.

Not with me around.

Widowers with 2 kids have 'em lining up.

He could have remarried long since.

True, true, he's got my looks.

He can make a living.

Dad.

No one wants their girls stuck with a father-in-law.

Would you, if you had a daughter?

Me, well... I'll move out, of course.

To sow your wild oats?

Pssh.

I'm done.

Enjoy.

Me, too.

The fortune-teller told me, unlucky in a husband, lucky in a daughter-in-law.

. . . yeah, yeah . . .

Look at all this food.

I'll take ours. Thanks.

Time to eat.

Hello, hello. You sleep all right?

Why are you here again? I'm being discharged this afternoon.

Sorry, Dad, the bus was late today.

Bus? You took a bus?

Yep. Songhi's car is in the shop.

Let her ride the bus. Why does she need your car?

It's not that, Dabin has an outing today and I've got lessons.

Songhi's going in my place.

Well, that's a new one.

What's she up to?

Nothing. I reeled her in.

Reeled?

Yep. I told her one of my friends is looking to trade up cars.

She swallowed it.

Now you've got her number.

Good for you.

Have her make the rice rolls, too.

Way ahead of you. She's probably lost it about now.

Mom will be mad that I skipped the carrots.

Hm?

Oh, I'll eat 'em for you. I'm no rabbit, I love me some carrots.

'kay?
