I don’t wanna do anything that can buy his disapproval.
It’s Jade’s birthday in 4 days.
Oh, right.
You’d have forgotten again if I didn’t tell you, huh?
Yes, thank you. What’s wrong with me? I’m so forgetful…
You never forget your own birthday though.
Thank you.
No problem.
Hello.
Already?
Take off your jacket.
Oh, right.
Go sleep more.
But you don’t know anything about cooking.
I already searched internet and memorized recipe.
Making food is not a joke.
Where’s all the grocery you shopped?
This is too simple!
Oh…..
What time is it?
4:30.
I doubt if Jade can have seaweed soup there.
Usually, a mother-in-law is supposed to set a birthday table for her daughter-in-law.
Maybe Younggook will make it.
Why would he do it while there’re maids?
Oh, that’s right.
Then the maids will probably set a birthday table.
Mrs. Suh will definitely be unaware of Jade’s birthday.
Gees…I feel bad.
She’ll know when they sing a birthday song over a cake.
Why did you turn it off?
It boiled enough.
Seaweed soup tastes best when it’s boiled down.
Aren’t we gonna stir-fry beef?
After this.
It’s boiled enough.
Just leave it alone.
The soup is brewed milky. Look!
It’s milky because I poured rice-washed water.
Tastes good enough.
Taste seaweed. It must be still sleek and tough.
Umm, looks delicious!
Well, you’re right.
Stop bugging me and go inside.
Are you sure you can do it alone?
Of course!
It’s almost 5:30.
We have enough time until 6:30.
The apron goes well with you.
I need to boil it more.
Honey.
Yes?
Can I sleep in today? I just can’t wake myself.
It’s Sunday. Sleep more.
But I have to prepare breakfast for Father.
He said he had a breakfast meeting this morning.
I’m becoming a sleepyhead with a child.
You surely should sleep well.
By the way, why doesn’t Michelle bear puppies?
I was going to give you a puppy as a birthday present.
Maybe she doesn’t want to ruin her figure.
And because she’s from France.
Like French woman?
Yep.
Don’t even think about naming our baby as Paris.
Of course I won’t.
Can we cancel a dinner at Hahn Hotel tonight and dine at Venetia?
I like to have their garlic bread and Montbleu.
Sure.
I’ll make a reservation at Venetia. What else?
That’s it.
I would have made seaweed soup for you if I knew earlier Father wouldn’t be here.
My Mom will make it for me this afternoon.
Hi, Goodsoon! How are you?
Are you here?
Did Jade get up?
No, not yet.
It’s her birthday.
Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
We made seaweed soup.
Just set a few side dishes on the table. You can have free time.
Oh, hi, Goodsoon!
When did you come?
Early in the morning, to eat seaweed soup.
We don’t have seaweed soup.
Oh, brother, it’s your wife’s birthday!
I know and I was going to make it.
But we’re not the only people living in this house so…
My mother will make it for me for lunch today.
Coming.
Oh, sounds like Father is home.
Good morning, Mother!
Hi.
I thought you already went out for a breakfast meeting.
It’s cancelled.
Did you tell the maid to make it?
Nope.
Take a seat, or the soup will get cold.
Honey.
Yes.
Today is Jade’s birthday.
Birthday?
Yes.
It seems like you’re getting better each day without medications.
I think she’ll be completely ok, when she gets a grandchild.
Thank God you married Jade!
Do you really mean it?
Yep!
How did she know and prepared all this when we didn’t say anything?
The truth is, Dad made these all.
Really?
I only helped Goodsoon.
Did you go before the day breaking?
No. He came to my place at 3:30 in the morning.
Oh….
Terry should have set a birthday table for you but as we all know, Terry is not well…
What?
You’re getting healthier every day.
Anyway, I just tried it.
I’m not sure about the taste though.
Even if it’s poor, please accept my heart and enjoy it
Father, I’m so touched.
Wow, I didn’t know my father can cook.
I assisted him.
Good girl!
Come on, let’s eat.
Oh, don’t cry, or you’ll have a crybaby.
Thank you so much, Father.
Thank you so much, Goodsoon.
I didn’t do much.
Yes you did. She did grocery shopping and trimmed materials.
With the auntie.
Actually I was going to have seaweed soup with my Mom but…
Good. Please go eat a well-made soup this afternoon.
I tried my best but it lacks something.
No, it’s perfect, Father. I think I don’t have to go home for soup.
Wow, are you sure you made this?
Yep.
If he had followed my direction, it wouldn’t taste this good.
It really tastes good, maybe seasoned with Tender Loving Care.
It’s your turn next year.
Sure.
Don’t cry, Jade.
Ok.
I only made the soup, beef, and pancake, with the help of Goodsoon.
You didn’t have enough sleep just because of me.
When is my birthday?
Huh?
You want my seaweed soup on your birthday?
Yes.
No problem. Tell me anything you want to eat.
Ok.
I’m preparing for mixed vege noodles.
I’m trimming spinach.
Mom, sorry but I can’t come. Have lunch without me.
Why?
I feel heavy and we’re going to dine out tonight.
Also I’m a little tired.
But you should have seaweed soup today. You know I forgot to make it for you last year.
I ate it. My father-in-law made it for me.
Mr. Suh?
Yes. He got up at 2 a.m. and prepared the soup, and everything.
Really?
Oh my….
I’ve never heard of a father-in-law who set a birthday table for his daughter-in-law.
Me neither.
Do you think you can do that?
Why not?
Then try with me first.
A wife and a daughter-in-law are not the same.
So, what do you want to say?
Huh?
You mean a daughter-in-law is higher than a wife?
A husband and a wife are in subordinate relationship.
Oh come on. That’s so old-fashioned!
Dad, would you look down on Younggook if he had set a birthday table for Jade?
Huh? No.
Then you can try that as a husband.
Right.
What?
What do you think, Grandma?
It’s not a bad idea to serve your wife at least once.
Come on, it’s a must for modern husbands to secure their status in their latter years.
Yeah, secure your latter years�
