Family by Choice (조립식 가족)

Everyone, doesn't it feel great...

- to be outside? - Yes!

I feel great too!

My gosh, look at the flowers go!

Oh, my. How beautiful.

Oh, right. Who here has made a pinwheel before?

- Me! - Me!

My goodness. So everyone has made one before.

I knew it.

Everyone, guess what this is.

- It's an acorn! - An acorn!

That's right. It's an acorn.

Then what's the vowel letter in the word, "acorn?"

- O! - O!

All right. Today, let's name...

some words with an O in the middle like the word, "acorn."

- Okay. - Start!

- Me! - Go ahead.

- Lemon. - Lemon. That's correct. What else?

- Flower. - Flower.

- Cotton. - Cotton.

- Yes. - Dolphin.

- Dog. - Rainbow.

- That's right. - Hotel.

- Robot. - Robot!

Gosh, that's correct.

Go on, Ju Won.

Wind?

"Wind?"

That doesn't have an O in the middle.

Ju Won.

Window.

Widower!

- Widower? - Widower?

- Ma'am, what does that mean? - Widower?

Oh, that?

Well, it means...

Widowers can do anything!

Widowers can give an older brother too!

- There you go. - You're back, Ju Won.

Ju Won, there's your dad.

Dad!

My baby.

Thank you.

- Are you really a widower? - Really?

Are you really a widower?

Sir, are you a widower?

Mister, can you really do anything?

Yes.

Then will Ju Won get an older brother?

You bet!

Widowers can do anything!

Kids, sit down. Fasten your seatbelts.

Who told you that I was a widower?

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

Did she...

lie to me?

Well, no. It's not a complete lie.

But it's not completely true either.

Ju Won.

Do you really need an older brother?

You've got me.

You're busy selling noodles. You can't play with me.

Right. I do have to sell noodles.

But you can't simply pull a brother out of nowhere.

I know that.

You do?

Did our neighbour tell you that too?

Yes. She said you had to go on a blind date.

Dad. What's a blind date?

I have to go on a blind date?

So what's a blind date?

A blind date...

Well, the blind date...

It's...

Oh, she meant I had to look at the "sun."

You know, the sun in the sky.

Are they our new neighbours?

Our new neighbours?

Yes. A new family is moving into the unit on the third floor.

- Maybe, they have an older boy. - An older boy?

Let's go.

Let's go!

- On three. - My gosh.

It’s more urban than I thought it would be.

- Yes. - It shouldn't be so urban.

We purposely moved to the countryside...

where no one would know us.

- Right. - She's right.

- There's an older boy! - Yes, there is.

Hi!

You're moving in to the third floor, right?

Hello. It's nice to meet you.

- We live on the second floor. - I see.

Honey, they live on the second floor.

Hello.

- San Ha, say hello to him. - Hello.

San Ha.

Are my hands sweaty?

I'm not sure if you spotted a noodle restaurant...

right before you made the turn.

The one with a long staircase.

I'm the owner.

Come by to have some noodles.

It will be my treat. It's to welcome you to the building.

Okay.

I guess it's just the three of you.

Yes. It's just the three of us.

Two people live on the second floor.

Three people live on the third floor.

- That's interesting! - Yes, it is!

What's so funny?

Pardon?

Why is that so funny?

What's so funny about a family of three?

Gosh, no.

What makes him think he can just talk to us? How irritating.

Bye.

That's one scary lady.

- She is scary. - Yes.

Then what? Was I supposed to laugh with them?

There was no need to be so rude.

Should we tailor our emotions to meet social needs?

What? "There were 4 of us, but it's just 3 of us now."

Why didn't you just say and laugh with them?

He only asked so he could tell us it was just him and his daughter.

He didn't want his daughter to tell us she didn't have a mom.

How do you know that?

We moved her because you wanted to.

You didn't want people to talk about us.

You wanted to live quietly in a place where no one knew us.

You were the one who said that, weren't you?

If you want a quiet life, you must get along with people.

We'll move again.

- To where? - Anywhere!

Stop being unreasonable!

Come on!

- My gosh. - Goodness.

- Oh, no. - My gosh.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Let's move now! - My gosh. You're driving me crazy!

I got transferred here. I have to start working tomorrow.

- Will you keep this up? - This is great.

Let's not even waste a day. You can quit right away!

Hello?

We received a report regarding your unit.

We received...

Sir.

We didn't know it was your house.

Can I explain everything tomorrow at work?

Yes. Then we'll talk tomorrow.

Can we just leave like this?

He knows that someone made a report, so hopefully, they'll keep it down.

The chief told you, right?

Pardon? Told me what?

He lost his daughter last year in Seoul.

So the three of them moved down here.

It'd be odd if their marriage didn't take a hit.

- Keep it to yourself. - Okay.

Is that true?

Gosh, did they have a daughter?

What? They had a daughter?

- So they had a daughter too. - I guess they did.

My gosh, where's my head?

- I was in the middle of my meal. - What?

Right. You know, it can get noisy...

on the first day in a new house.

Let's go back in.

- Get in. - Okay.

Dad. What does it mean to lose a daughter?

Weren't you sleeping?

If you run into our new upstairs neighbours,

don't bring up the boy's sister. Okay?

Why not?

Don't you get sad...

- when we talk about your mom? - Yes.

Right.

She's not here anymore.

So you must miss her even more. Don't you?

- Yes. - That's why.

The family upstairs...

lost a loved one.

If someone mentioned her,

wouldn't they be sad just like you?

Right. They shouldn't be sad.

If you run into the boy tomorrow, bring him home.

I'll cook something delicious.

Something delicious? Meat?

Sure.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Do you want to watch TV in my house?

Do you want to?

I'm okay.

I was just about to get back inside.

Is that so?

Yes.

Deep down, your mother isn't angry.

You know that, right?
