Lung cancer mortality rates are high...
because it's not easily detectable in the early stages.
About 70 percent of lung cancer patients in Korea are diagnosed...
at advanced stages, which is difficult to treat.
The Diner family already had dinner, right?
Things must be busy at work.
I could rush back at dinnertime,
but I thought having dinner alone with you wouldn't be so bad.
Sit down. You must be hungry.
Did anything fun happen at work?
I don't go to work for fun.
Didn't anybody say you were beautiful?
What are you talking about? Do you like my makeup today?
Now, you're wearing makeup.
I can't help it.
If I don't wear makeup to work,
they'd think I'm confident about my looks.
Do girls not wear makeup if they think they're beautiful enough?
I'm going to work, so I just want to look prepared.
You put some effort into your makeup and your work.
And nobody is into you?
There is one.
There is.
What is he like?
- He's a young researcher. - Really?
He went to a science high school and a good university.
He also joined the company with the highest interview scores.
Really?
He can't even look straight at me because he's always blushing around me.
But he saw my face somehow...
and asked me to go to the bathroom.
To the bathroom?
I looked in the mirror,
and the eyeliner under my eyes got smudged,
which looked like a black eye booger.
I was so embarrassed.
I might have to fire him.
I'd feel bad for him if he gets fired for that.
I'd like to see him sometime.
What does he look like?
He looks like Oh Bok.
Really? He must be good-looking.
That kind of face is a handsome face.
He looks like Oh Bok with thick, black glasses.
Where did he even get that frame?
I think he customized it.
Jung Hoon might be better.
Are you having fun?
Yes, I am.
I had no idea listening to what happened to you outside...
would make me this proud and happy.
You sound like a mom.
A mom?
A mother would want to hear...
about how her daughter did at work when she gets back.
I guess so.
I don't know what a mom is like.
There was no way for me to know what it's like to have a mom,
so I thought of you as my mom when I was little.
And you became my mom.
When I hear the word "mom," I think of you.
Really?
You've always been my mom...
and my friend.
I will always be.
One day,
I saw you tasting food calmly,
and my heart started to flutter out of nowhere.
I was so surprised.
Young Shin.
That's when the pain began.
Does it cause you pain?
But it's okay.
I guess that's my life.
A special and affectionate life for the two of us.
I don't know how I should leave you behind.
How should I leave you?
What's wrong, Mr. Jung?
Why are you tearing up?
When he was getting ready to say goodbye to the world by death,
I was 23.
That's how the summer of my 23rd year...
when I had to cry my heart out began.
Are there any books of mine you want?
Why?
I'm thinking of getting rid of them.
Why? They could be useful someday.
There's no point in keeping them.
Pick some books out, and I'll throw out the rest.
Why do you throw out the books you cherished so much?
Why do you always keep the door open?
There's nothing to steal in this house.
Is it to make it convenient for me?
You're flattering yourself.
What brings you here?
Did you go grocery shopping to cook for me?
I don't care if you throw my food out again...
because I'll cook again.
Why are you cooking here, not at the Diner?
I prepared some food for them to eat.
Sung Chan made soup and put side dishes in the fridge before he left.
Are you worried that I might starve to death?
How much longer are you going to mooch on him?
Why do you care?
I taught him and provided for him.
What did he do to deserve this?
It's his fault for having an aunt like me.
He could make a living thanks to me, but he'd been ungrateful...
because of his conscience.
How are you going to survive when you get older?
Why? Are you concerned?
Do you think I'd mooch on you if Sung Chan gets married?
How much money do you have left?
What?
You're getting old. You need money to get by.
Look at you.
You acted like you were noble, but you're eventually talking about money.
That's what money is.
Do you want to know how much money I have so I don't burden you?
This house must be under Sung Chan's name as well.
Why would I be worried?
I have a competent son like you.
If Sung Chan kicks me out, I'll go to you.
How are you doing?
Are you worried I might live too long?
I'm sorry, but I'm so healthy for a woman my age.
Why do you ask?
That's good.
Start eating before it gets cold.
What are you doing?
Do you want to eat with me?
We've never eaten sitting across from each other.
Did Young Shin ask you to do this?
To eat with me?
I voluntarily came to eat with you.
You're my son,
but you just can't watch me do anything.
You've been getting in my way, pretending to be righteous and thoughtful.
And now, you're making me food?
Start eating.
Are you telling me to shut my mouth?
Why would you put it that way?
You don't have kids to have them judge what a great person you are.
As a son, you always judged me, saying what I did was wrong or inhumane.
If I'm not admirable or right, does it mean I'm not your mother?
You want to eat with me after what you've done to me?
Don't come here again and rub it in my face.
I didn't buy this house to be close to you.
Sung Chan bought it.
I guess he wants to dump me on you when the time comes.
I didn't get this house to dump you on him.
Why would you throw the food he put effort into making?
Shut it. You're not any different from him.
I can clean it up. You can go.
I'll clean it up.
I didn't get this house to burden you with her later.
I wanted the two of you to see each other sometimes.
I understand.
You shouldn't have rushed it, though.
She barely sorted herself out yet.
It's too early for you two to eat together.
I don't think I have enough time.
Enough time?
I'm sorry.
What do you mean by that?
Are you planning to leave?
Take a look at this picture.
He's the Cheongmyeong Department Store family's second son.
His mother's family owns the KY Foundation. Do you know them?
Are you telling me to go on a blind date with him?
He's quite cute, too, isn't he?
- I'm all right. - What do you mean?
Your mother isn't around, so I should take care of you...
and find you a good man to marry.
I'm not going to get married.
Why won't you get married?
Still, it's better to do it. You'll be too lonely when you get old.
Thank you for the thought, but I'm not interested.
Women can benefit from being young.
It's best to get married when you're young and pretty.
If you keep waiting for the right one, the options will get worse and worse.
Later on, you'll think, "I should've just gotten married then."
I said I'm not getting married.
Why not? He's from a good family and is handsome.
If you're not going to get married ever, it's one thing, but if you will,
there won't be anyone better than him, Young Shin.
I'm not going to get married.
Why not?
I think it's because of Jung Gyung Soo.
How could we ever let Jung Gyung Soo and Young Shin get together?
As her aunt, I'll never allow it.
Well, Jong Gwon and Sook Jung aren't together anyway.
It still stands even though they're not together.
On top of that, Jung Gyung Soo raised her.
It's never going to happen, so I can't just watch...
as she never marries and grows old...
just waiting for Jung Gyung Soo.
I guess you're right.
How about you just meet him once, even just to be polite to your aunt?
I don't want to.
