A Good Supper (Be A Meal / Babi Dweeora / 밥이 되어라)

You said your private class will be done at six o'clock, right?

Yes, what do you think will be served for dinner?

Are you going straight to the library?

Don't skip meals because you're busy. Make sure you come!

Going to eat will take up so much time.

He's just mad about his mock exam results.

He can't eat after going from first to the fifth rank in the province.

See you later! Hey, Park Jong Hoon! Wait for me!

If you don't come to eat,

I'm going to pack it up for you and barge into the library!

I'm home!

I'll do it. Go in and rest.

No, you should rest and then study.

Cooking is my study, now.

Don't worry and go ahead in.

Okay!

You said mackerel pike is best when cooked over a briquette fire.

I also said it's a nostalgic food for older people.

It's nostalgic for me too.

I don't think I can ever forget the taste...

of the mackerel pike I had on my first day here.

That's already more than ten years ago.

Good work today, everyone.

It's not much, but I hope you enjoy the meal.

You should show up to school...

as often as you show up to the diner.

He skipped school today again?

I was on my way to school,

but then something important came up.

You think you get to skip school when something comes up?

It's not like I'm going to college.

Why do I need to have perfect attendance?

Even if you're not the best student,

I just wanted you to grow up to be strong.

You really did grow up only strong.

Take your time. Why are you rushing so much?

Even ten minutes is a waste for me.

Young Shin, I ate as you said.

Don't embarrass me by bringing me a plate at the library.

Thank you for the meal.

Jung Hoon is the only one...

who seems like a high school senior.

His face looks so thin from studying.

He said he'll go to medical school even if he dies trying.

Medical school?

Do you think you can get into med school just with good grades?

You should study engineering. You can even get a scholarship.

If I can't get into med school,

I'm going to quit everything and just get a job.

What? Then how am I supposed to have fun at college by myself?

Did you even talk to your dad?

I'm probably the only mother...

who gives her senior daughter a face mask.

When you're done with this, get to studying.

Aren't you so happy Jung Hoon is going to medical school?

Are you feeling rushed and trying to make me all pretty?

Who do you think I am?

Anyway, which college are you going to?

Is there anywhere you have in mind?

I don't need to have anywhere in mind.

Based on where Jung Hoon goes, whichever major it is,

I'm going to go to the same school.

How could you say that?

I'm scared someone might hear you.

I have a cooking certificate, so I'll work after graduating.

If you're worried about tuition, don't be.

I have a college savings fund for you.

When I decided to raise you,

I wanted to make sure you at least...

could study like other kids.

I'm so happy even like this.

You should've let him send you to college.

Why are you so confident with not going?

How much do you think he makes...

selling food for four dollars?

Diner and the house we live in...

are both rentals.

How could I spend his hard-earned money on tuition?

Then why did you study so hard?

I wanted to beat you. So what?

What?

You know how much Mr. Jung sacrificed...

for me.

I really want to show him that I can be happy...

even if I don't go to college.

I mean it!

What brings you here so late?

Well,

Jung Hoon is staying up all night studying,

and I was wondering...

if you make food for other students.

Oh, that's why you're here?

What would he like?

Oh, right, Mr. Park.

Did you hear that he wants to go to medical school?

Medical school?

I heard you want to go to medical school.

You should study engineering. I can afford that.

I'm not going to study engineering.

I don't want to live like you.

What?

I can't afford medical school tuition!

Mom said she'll pay.

You're in contact with your mother?

I contacted her first this time.

Did you contacted her...

to ask for tuition money?

Get up!

Get up and look at my face!

Mom is responsible for me too!

What money does your mother have...

to send you to medical school?

She said she has it.

Do you think that's her money?

It's that jerk's money!

He's her husband!

You...

don't know why I divorced your mother, do you?

I know.

I know, and I knew a long time ago.

You got divorced because she cheated on you with that man.

I can't believe you know about it and you still want...

to go to college with his money!

I don't care whose money it is.

I don't even care if it's stolen money!

I'm going to medical school...

and leaving this tiny town!

- You can't. I won't let you. - Yes, I can.

Am I your property?

That day that Mom said she'd take me,

you wanted to take out your anger on her...

by dragging me to the middle of nowhere!

Why did you have to drag me here and ruin my life?

Your father asked me for a snack in case you got hungry,

so I brought mushroom porridge.

Jung Hoon!

Park Jung Hoon!

We're closed.

Mr. Park!

Do you have any leftovers?

All I need is some kimchi.

Don't worry about anything tonight.

Just have a few drinks and go to bed.

Although it's a petty life,

I guess I am indeed a foolish man.

I'm not sure if my ego is hurt or just upset.

But honestly, I can't tell why I'm in so much pain.

Him saying that I dragged him here to take out my anger...

on his mother keeps lingering in my mind.

At the time, she was crying and begging...

just to take Jung Hoon and nothing else.

If she said she couldn't take him,

I might have sent him anyway even if he didn't want to.

Now that I think about it,

I really feel so bad for him...

that it makes me shake.

I only ignored him because I was sorry.

So,

he can't even look me in the eye.

But actually,

it was me...

who turned away first.

It'll be dawn soon.

You always come here and sit. Do you want to go somewhere?

When I was young,

I couldn't get on the train and sat here because I didn't have money...

to buy a train ticket.

Is it because you wanted to go to your mom?

My mom didn't even care about me,

and my dad neglected me because of his pains.

I hated them both.

Jung Hoon.

I thought the only way was to study.

Everyone knows how hard you studied.

I will go to med school.

When I become a doctor,

I will leave this town...

with just one person.

Who is that?

- Is it your dad? - Are you out of your mind?

Then, is it Da Jung?

Hey! If you leave with her, what about her parents?

Take her parents with you if you must leave.

Stop talking nonsense.

I wanted to grab any train and leave,

but I couldn't leave because of that person...

and I've been holding on until now.

- Why couldn't you sleep until dawn? - I was talking with Jung Hoon.

What did you talk about until dawn in the library?

Don't ask anymore!

I won't tell you anyway.

It's a better world now.

Young Shin and Jung Hoon talk about secrets without me knowing.

Hey. This is bringing back memories.

What's that look for?

Are you worried about something?

I don't have any secrets from you.

We have no secrets between us.

Jung Hoon gave me a pretty notebook yesterday.

But he told me not to tell you.
