The first 200 lines.
Don't be lonely even if I'm not around.
When you see your shadow by the street lamp at night,
know that it's me that couldn't leave you behind.
What are you doing?
I'm going to go to Mr. Jung.
I'll go to him.
To Gyung Soo? Why?
What about your father?
I don't need anything else.
Jong Gwon. Honey.
Young Shin is packing to go to the Diner.
Why?
Jong Gwon, do you know what's going on?
She wants to go back to the Diner?
Where do you think you're going?
I'll go to Mr. Jung.
I can't let that poor man leave like that.
I'll go live with him.
- Young Shin. - Mr. Jung...
is dying.
He has a terminal illness.
- What? - What are you talking about?
- Tell us more? - Do you think I'd let him die alone?
Do you really think so?
I will die with him. I don't need anything else.
Gyung Soo...
is sick for real, isn't he?
Mr. Jung is dying.
Mr. Jung is going to die.
Young Shin. Put yourself together.
Calm yourself down first.
How can I calm down?
This is a lie.
It can't be true. I can't believe it.
Is that why you want to go back to the Diner?
- I'm going. I'll go. - Young Shin.
I'll go to Mr. Jung.
I can't let him die alone.
Are you going to run away from home, leaving me behind?
Why did you abandon Mom and me?
- What? - Why did you leave my poor mom?
You said Grandpa and Grandma loved you and relied on you so much...
you couldn't let them down, right?
- Young Shin. - Then why did you love a woman?
If you loved a woman, you should've taken care of her.
You loved her all you wanted and turned your back on her...
only to be a good son.
Then what's left for the woman who loved you with all her heart?
Young Shin.
If you hadn't abandoned her, she wouldn't have died.
You abandoned me,
but Mr. Jung raised me, devoting his youth to me, and he's dying now.
He's dying of a terminal illness.
He's going to die alone, leaving me in this world.
How can I live in this world without him?
How can I live the rest of my life without him?
I can't do that.
I can't.
Young Shin, calm down.
I'll drive you there tomorrow, okay?
Stay the night today.
I'll drive you there.
I need nothing else.
How?
How can this happen to that poor man?
So, Gyung Soo has a terminal illness.
What should I do if he's suffering from an illness?
- Jong Gwon. - If...
he leaves like this,
how can I face Young Shin again as her father?
Jong Gwon went through a lot too.
His parents had a tough life,
so he couldn't ignore them.
He has a warm heart, so he couldn't let them down.
Even after he left your mother, he didn't get married for a while...
because he couldn't get over her.
Your father sacrificed his life to be a good son as well.
I can't hear anything now, Aunt Min Gyung.
- I understand. - What would Mr. Jung be doing now?
He must be forcing himself to accept the fact that he's dying.
What would he be doing now without me?
What is helping him hold out now?
- Young Shin. - Aunt Min Gyung.
I have to go to Mr. Jung.
All right.
Let's go.
I'll drive you. Let's go.
I think I should take her to Gyung Soo.
- Honey. - No. I do think I should.
Do you want to see her go insane?
Okay. Please do that.
Please take her to him, Min Gyung.
- Jong Gwon. - Take her to Gyung Soo.
We should let them be together.
She can't think about anything else now.
Would you give her a ride?
Jong Gwon.
Young Shin, are you not going to say goodbye to your father?
She'll be back anyway.
He's in shock. You should be with him.
What if something happens to him too?
You'll be back, right?
She's not clear-headed now. How can she answer that?
Of course, she'll come back. Stay with Jong Gwon.
Young Shin.
I'll drop by the Diner soon.
- Stay here. I'll bring the car. - I can go alone.
You can't drive in this state of mind. Wait for me.
Jong Gwon, are you all right?
- Did Young Shin leave? - I didn't stay to see her leave.
Min Gyung asked me to stay with you because she was worried.
Are you okay?
It's all on me.
It's because of me.
It's not your fault.
You only took care of the family, following in our parents' footsteps.
Taking responsibility for your choices...
is a terrifying thing.
- Jong Gwon. - I can't even believe...
that I lived all those years...
not knowing that my daughter was alive,
and now, I have to watch that poor kid suffer tremendously.
- Go in. - Thank you, Aunt Min Gyung.
When you were distracted, you spoke to me less formally.
Get going. Gyung Soo might be worried if he sees you with the bag.
Come up with an excuse.
- Take good care of Dad, please. - Okay.
Go in.
What are you doing here this late?
You were pressing clothes.
Why did you pack?
I told my dad that I missed you,
and he said I could stay with you for a while.
Why would you miss me like a kid?
Your father must've been sad to see you leave with a bag.
Even if you say I can't, I'm going to live here.
What time do you have to wake up for work?
I won't go to work for a while.
What's going on? Why won't you go to work?
I want to take a break.
I'll take a break next to you.
Did something happen between you and President Kang?
I was going to make myself at home...
since it was my dad's house,
but no place feels like home other than here.
- Young Shin. - I'll live here with you.
I'm not going anywhere leaving you behind.
- Young Shin. - It's late, so go to sleep.
I don't know about other people,
but when I wake up in the morning, I feel anxious and lonely.
He must open his eyes, feeling tired from fighting an illness.
I couldn't bear to leave him alone in the empty house,
so I came for him in a rush.
Until then, I didn't know there's nothing I could do...
for a dying person.
I brewed coffee. Doesn't it smell good?
It does. It smells like a warm house.
Breakfast is refreshing muguk. Yeolmukimchi fermented well.
Go wash up.
How did you sleep?
I slept well.
Why do you throw out good tteok?
It's from the lady next door.
This is so annoying.
She keeps showing up with things I'm not even going to eat.
Why are country folk so concerned about other people's lives?
They should just hang out by themselves.
They always call me over for everything.
If they invite you, then you should go see them.
Do you think I have nothing to do? Why would I go there?
Then, you can't live in the country.
The most difficult thing for people to get used to here is that mindset.
That lady is so nosey...
that she only met me three times before calling me her sister.
Who said I was her sister?
She just piles up unsorted trash outside her house.
Then she wants to bring gaetteok to socialize?
If she comes over with food, just take it.
Who in the world gives so much food to their neighbors nowadays?
It's annoying to throw out the trash, so people don't like it when you give it.
I'll take what you won't have, so just take it,
and you should give her some fruit or something next time.
Why are you back here?
The last time I was here, it looked like the wooden bench was shaky,
so I bought some nails.
I don't even have a hammer. Why would you buy nails?
I brought a hammer too.
The person who lived here before left it behind.
It seems like it'll be fine.
When are you coming to the village?
You're suddenly trying to give me the Diner's lease.
Are you trying to leave forever for Young Shin?
It doesn't seem like Young Shin is going with you.
Take a seat.
Why are you staring at me like that?
Still, if you look close enough,
I guess we do look alike.
What?
Young Shin looks just like her mother.
What are you talking about?
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
