Once Again (I Have Been There Once / Han Bun Danyeowasseubmida / 한 번 다녀왔습니다)

Let me see. What are we missing?

The rice and soup can be served later.

That's right, the bokbunja. I put it in the fridge to cool.

- Da Hee, bring the bokbunja. - Sure.

Ok Boon, I'll get the bokbunja instead!

- Gosh, they're here. - We're here.

- Come on in. - Sorry we're late, Mother.

Come on.

Grandma, my dad is so indecisive.

It took him 30 minutes to choose the cake.

I was trying to choose the best one.

Telling on me was a nasty move.

I'm just glad you're here, so have a seat.

Seo Jin, come to Grandma.

Come over here.

What's taking your father so long though?

He should be here by now.

Will your family like me?

I should've bought something nicer to wear...

and get my hair done at the salon.

It's fine. You look pretty enough.

Young Dal.

Will they think badly of me because I ran a sleazy bar?

Don't be ridiculous. We're family, aren't we?

Family members aren't embarrassed of one another.

Don't you worry about that.

Right. We're family.

Young Suk, there's no need to be nervous.

The family will all love you.

What's there to worry about when I'm here for you?

Right, I have a brother again now.

I guess I got used to being alone in life.

- Welcome, Aunt. - Welcome!

Gosh, what a big family.

How many of you are there?

It's good to see you.

My friend!

Hi, my five-year-old friend. Have you been well?

Seo Jin, you can't call her your friend anymore.

She's your great aunt. Call her Great Aunt.

But I don't want to be anyone's great anything.

Would it be awkward for us to keep being just friends?

In that case, mute the sound of "great" at the beginning.

"Great" Aunt. Like that.

It's good to have you here, Young Suk.

We're sorry for not recognizing you...

even though you were right under our noses.

It must've been lonely for you.

Thank you, Ok Boon.

Truth be told, I'm still dazed by all this.

Welcome home, Ms. Kang.

I mean, Young Suk.

Young Suk, have some more bulgogi.

Young Suk, try a piece of this boiled octopus.

- Right. - There you go.

I'll help myself to everything, so please don't worry.

Gosh, this is going to ruin my weight-loss plan.

What? As if you have any weight to lose.

You look more drawn than you did before you left.

Young Dal, please.

Your kids will laugh at that statement.

Anyway, I'm eating a lot.

I'm going to have another bowl of rice, so don't worry.

Yes, help yourself.

Gosh, what a pleasant sight. I'm jealous too.

You're treating her like the most fragile being on earth.

Seo Jin, come to me, and let your great aunt eat properly.

Let her be.

I have the skill to eat my meal this way.

- All right. - I was truly grateful for that day.

Things were too hectic that I forgot to thank you properly.

Isn't it fascinating though?

What were the odds of her spotting our Seo Jin?

Tell me about it.

It must have been a moment of blood being thicker than water.

I also think that such a thing exists.

I saw you first at Dad's birthday party...

and then at the kimbap place. For some reason,

I felt this sense of similarity which was odd.

Did you go by the kimbap place?

When? Why?

She asked me to buy lunch, so we went together.

Anyway, welcome home, Young Suk.

I hope we get along well.

Come to think of it, we exchanged some harsh words...

not realizing that we're in-laws.

I was ruder in that aspect,

so we'll let bygones be bygones.

Say goodbye to our dark past! Cheers.

- Let me join in. Welcome home. - Me too.

- Us too. - Welcome home, Ms. Song.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

My glass is empty.

I'm truly grateful, everyone.

Truth be told, I was nervous to meet you all.

I never had a chance to spend a long time...

with family before.

You have no idea how excited I am to be warmly greeted.

This has to be the best day of my life.

That being said, let me sing a song for you all.

- What? - It's my way of saying thank you.

- Sure, go ahead. - Let's applaud!

- Go for it. - Go, Ms. Song!

A moonlit autumn night under the empress tree

How the leaves flutter

Or is it the call for dongdongju

- That makes our hearts flutter - How can I not dance to this?

- My legs bring me onto my feet. - Come on, Dad.

- Come on. - Let's dance.

- Not me. - Come on, guys!

Odongdong, odongdong, it won't stop

Odongdong, my heart pounds in agony

Gosh. It's true what they say about noticing one's absence more.

The house feels emptier now that Ok Boon's gone.

I feel emptier inside too.

Hey, Gyu Jin. What are you up to? Have you eaten?

Of course, I have. Look at the time. Have you had dinner too?

Yes, I grabbed a bite.

Anyway, I'm kind of bored.

I have no one to talk to now that Ok Boon's gone.

There's nothing fun on TV, and I'm not even sleepy.

You should still go to bed though.

Don't you have to be at the cafe tomorrow?

I guess.

Why not take a bath?

Keep it short at about 30 minutes, and hurry to bed.

I'll call you tomorrow. Good night, Mom.

As if you'd actually call. I'm the one who called you.

Sons have dry personalities.

How nice would it be for them to suggest we go for a drive?

What's the car for, anyway? It's not like you can eat it!

Wait. When did I open this bottle?

My gosh. Did I open another one without realizing it?

What's gotten into me?

- Come on. - Come on in.

Go on.

Goodness.

I could stay at Ju Ri or Ga Yeon's...

or at a nearby motel.

I feel terrible about forcing Ga Hee out of her room.

Don't be ridiculous. Of course, you should sleep here today.

You're family.

Exactly. Take your time to think about where you'll live,

and sleep here for today.

All right then. Thanks, Young Dal and Ok Boon.

I can't believe myself.

Up until recently, you were Mr. Song and Ms. Jang.

But now I'm calling you by name as if it's the most natural thing ever.

I know.

Calling you by your name isn't awkward for me either.

Right?

Anyway, come to us if you need anything,

and get some rest. I'm sure you're exhausted.

- Sure. - Let's get going.

Right.

- Good night. - Good night, then.

- Sleep tight. - You too.

- Thank you. - Sure thing.

Father,

are you watching this?

I found my brother.

My real name...

is Song Young Suk.

I'm someone's sister-in-law, someone's aunt,

and someone's great aunt.

It still feels unreal to have a big family now,

but I love it.

It's as if I gained a huge group of allies.

So Father,

don't worry about me anymore,

and rest in peace.

Goodness.

It must've been nice for you to be away from me.

You're practically glowing.

Eating fancy meals and treating myself to good things...

led to a healthier complexion.

Does that annoy you?

Unbelievable.

Must you put it that way?

It's true that you're the person who considers me the least.

Of course, I understand you.

It's also true that you're the one who knows me best.

Thank you for that. And I'm sorry.

In what way?

What are you grateful for, and what are you sorry about?

Everything.

Thank you for welcoming Young Suk into our home,

and I apologize for upsetting you recently.

That was careless of me.

I upset you a lot, didn't I?

Of course, you did.

Just know that I almost divorced you.

Young Suk's the one who stopped it from happening.

Gosh.

By the way,

where did you stay all this time?

I won't tell you since that's where I'll go if you upset me again.

Come on.

Tell me.

Gosh, did you just push me?
