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

- Do this quickly. - Is it ready?

Let's hurry up!

- Wash these. - Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

Great work today.

The last person to leave the kitchen will take turns inspecting.

Make sure you check everything before leaving. That's all.

- Good work. - Good work.

Should I put these in the fridge?

Of course, you should throw out all the unused vegetables.

Throw them out?

They're already prepped and washed.

If they're stored in the fridge, do you think they'll taste fresh?

What about the dried kelp and dried anchovies?

The dried kelp smells off because of a storage problem,

and dried anchovies aren't fresh, so they should be thrown out.

Then...

could I take them home with me?

We strictly prohibit taking ingredients out of the restaurant.

What are you doing here so late?

You haven't gone home yet?

We have an important guest tomorrow, so I'm preparing for it.

I see. I'll get this out of the way.

What were you trying to do?

The ingredients that were going into the trash are hard to come by,

so I was going to make a broth out of them.

Are you familiar with the ingredients?

I know if I try them.

Should I try it too?

Your broth?

No, it's not complete yet!

It's good for making sujebi with friends.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing? Get out.

Yes, ma'am. I'll see you tomorrow.

Keep up the good work.

I mean, you're working hard.

I mean, what should I say?

I'll decide whether to do good work or work hard.

Just go home. I don't have much time.

Yes, ma'am. I'll be on my way.

Why are you smiling?

I guess I'm really getting older.

The young kids look so cute to me.

Did you just get home?

Why the long face?

I tried too hard and got embarrassed again.

By whom?

I think the boss doesn't like me.

Why not?

They punished you for that?

I wasn't punished,

but she said it's good for making sujebi with my friends.

Doesn't she mean I ruined all the expensive ingredients?

You must be tired. Just go to bed.

By the way, I keep feeling like I've seen my boss somewhere before.

Where do I know her from?

Where would you have seen her? They probably just look alike.

Who did you learn cooking from?

They didn't even teach you to rinse your mouth when seasoning?

Mrs. Choi.

If the taste of the broth is still in your mouth,

how can you properly taste something else?

I see!

I don't know why I didn't think of that.

It's probably because you're stupid.

Oh, my.

Aunt, are you still working?

Go get two packs of boiled anchovies from storage.

For whom?

There's someone in the kitchen giving it her all.

What?

This isn't it. What's off?

You stayed behind to make some broth, I see.

Chef Choi.

I don't think I ever approved this.

I'm sorry.

I didn't think to ask you for permission.

You didn't think of it, so you didn't report it to me.

Are you cut out for working?

I won't do it again. I'm sorry.

This is the boiled anchovy that I'd only heard of.

So this is how it tastes!

But why are you giving this to me?

Her eyes shine so brightly.

They say people are the best asset. Hold onto her.

You haven't been able to see Young Shin a lot lately, right?

We chat for an hour every night before bed.

She must be exhausted.

Are you following me? Aren't you going home?

I'm going to study a bit at the library too.

Did you take the wrong pills this morning?

We're a campus couple.

We should show everyone how we study together at the library.

Why are you going to the library to show off?

Hey.

We've never had coffee at a nice cafe.

Isn't that a problem?

Who has time for that?

Let's study and have some coffee when we get a chance.

I hate when guys put their bags down and play around at the library.

They just take up space.

Stop joking around and just head home early.

Young Shin isn't there either. Why should I go home early?

Hello?

Yes, okay.

Goodbye.

Grandma, Mr. Jung called saying to come have...

a drink at the Diner if you're awake.

Yes, Mr. Jung, if you're awake, have some acorn jelly and makgeolli.

I guess Oh Bok didn't come.

He didn't want to drink with us oldies, so he went to play pool.

Since Young Shin comes late, I guess you're bored.

I lived alone before,

but now I don't know what to do until she comes home.

Having a drink all together without the kids...

is actually pretty nice!

I don't see much of Da Jung lately either.

All kids are like that when they get older.

Do you have conversations with Jung Hoon?

Conversation? It's hard to get in five words a day.

Besides asking me for money,

why would he want to talk to me?

So, his mother...

is apparently sending him tuition and spending money.

Adult sons and fathers are all like that.

How about finding some other work?

My friends are all getting ready to retire.

Doesn't it feel like a waste to work for someone?

Why would it be a waste?

You used to work at a big company, but you're stuck in the country.

Aren't you curious about the rest of the world?

It's been a long time since I've been curious or wanted more.

Same here.

You've been like that since you were young.

I also want to minimize my life and grow old with a light feeling.

It's my last wish.

Haven't you always been someone who threw things away?

What else do you have to throw out?

You'd have to shave your head and go to the mountain.

Should I get some more makgeolli?

By the way, Gyung Soo, you're too young to be stuck here.

Aren't you just 35 now?

I can't believe I'm not older already.

Already? You're so young!

Let's send away these long winter nights...

with a drink!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

It tastes good.

We should get together like this every day!

Come any time. I'll be open.

Okay!

Hey, I hear that movie's good. Do you want to go see it?

No, I need to study.

From what I've seen of medical school,

they accept students and make them study until the brink of death,

and their goal is to ruin their character one by one.

What?

If it's this bad in your first year,

I can't imagine what they'll make out of you...

when you're an intern or resident.

You're starting to act like a jerk.

Why are you going that way? Aren't you going to the library?

Today's Young Shin's day off.

Why do I have to sit in the library worrying about what you think of me?

It's your day off. Go hang out with Da Jung and catch a movie.

She's busy lately.

Busy with college and dating.

I don't know if I'm even dating. I feel numb.

You came by yourself?

Where's Jung Hoon?

I'm more interested in hanging out with you than dating him,

so I left him at the library.

What?

Do other people have relationships like this too?

What are you two like?

From elementary school to high school to college,

we've been exactly the same.

How can you be the same? You should get more serious.

How could I do that?

Try your best.

He keeps getting stiffer the more I know him.

What exactly do you mean by stiff?

I feel mortified.

They say you have to deal with that in any relationship.

In elementary school, even when he was a bit arrogant,

didn't he always give me my way?

Of course.

How could he get the upper hand? He couldn't dare to.

Oh Bok, you did that, didn't you?

Me?

You don't have any evidence!

If it's not you, who would do something so childish?

Get over here!

Let's fight!

What is this all about?

You're embarrassing her!

I don't need to use my words with a kid like him.

Da Jung and Jung Hoon, sitting in a tree.

- Hey! Stop it! - K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
