Are you hungry? Uncle Wooji made a lot of delicious food, so eat a lot.
명호(5살)
Wow... wow~
도겸(5살)
Did Samchoni do all of this?
우지
Yeah.. I like cooking
명호(5살)
There's chicken and pizza too?
우지
Yeah.. I did it all myself
호시(7살)
Isn't my dad amazing?
명호(5살)
I think you're better than my mom, right?
Min-gyu: Oh... this is more delicious
도겸(5살)
That's because your mom is busy.
도겸(5살)
You're working
명호(5살)
Yeah.. Mom's busy.. But I'm sick of eating only the side dishes I bought every day.
명호(5살)
Ugh..
Mingyu: Myungho... don't cry... I'll tell mom.
명호(5살)
What if you hit me again? I'll just eat whatever you give me.
명호(5살)
You can eat at the daycare center
Mingyu: Sigh~
도겸(5살)
When...you hit me?
명호(5살)
Yeah... I got slapped last time when I asked if you could make me some food... It really hurt.
승철
What? You hit me in the face!!
정한(5살)
(sob sob)
명호(5살)
Oh no!! I shouldn't say that
Mingyu: We're going to get in trouble again...
명호(5살)
I'm sorry, hyung
승철
That...
우지
right?
Seungcheol approaches and lifts Min-gyu and Myeong-ho's clothes.
It seems like Jeonghan is looking at the body.
A bruised body...burn marks are visible
승철
What about your dad?
명호(5살)
My dad works abroad. He only comes once a year.
우지
Does your dad know that you guys are being treated like this?
명호(5살)
No... Mom said I'd get in trouble if I told her.
도겸(5살)
Why didn't you say anything?
명호(5살)
Because I got scolded
A mother who abused her children while their father was away.
Because they had no guardians, they relied on each other and were careful not to be caught.
What the children said accidentally, their guard down in the comfort of this house
승철
This is child abuse
정한(5살)
Did your mom hit you too? Did it hurt?
명호(5살)
Yeah..it hurt..did you get it too?
정한(5살)
Yeah..so I live with my uncle..my mom and dad are far away in prison.
명호(5살)
Really? That would be nice..
Mingyu: I miss my mom too.. I miss my dad
승철
Isn't this your dad's contact information?
명호(5살)
Um...just a minute
I rummage through the bag Myungho brought.
Bring the business card that was hidden deep inside.
명호(5살)
This is my dad's business card...
승철
Uncle will call dad
명호(5살)
yes
Mingyu: Yes
When Seungcheol calls his father abroad and tells him about the condition of his children, his father doesn't believe him at first, but only when he tells him that the children are real does he believe him.
In fact, the children's mother was a stepmother. Her biological mother died giving birth to Myeong-ho, and she remarried for the sake of the children. Min-gyu was so young that he thought his stepmother was his biological mother. While they lived together, she treated him well, but when his father went to work abroad, she began abusing him.
Dad will come to Korea as soon as possible, but it will still take some time, so he ends up suing the stepmother for child abuse and the children will stay with Jeonghan.
승철
Stay here until dad comes.
정한(5살)
I'm going to sleep in my room
호시(7살)
Mingyu sleeps with me
명호(5살)
thank you
Mingyu: Yeah
도겸(5살)
That would be nice.. I just have to go home..
After much begging from Dokyeom's envious parents, he decides to stay here for just one night.
Dokyeom's parents called Seungcheol and apologized, and Seungcheol said that it was the same whether it was four or five, so they gave him permission.
우지
I should start with rice.
승철
Should I order it?
우지
No... But I still have to eat home-cooked meals...
승철
I'll help you
우지
It helps to get out of the kitchen
승철
Tsk.. (I'm trying to set the dishes)
우지
Handprints on the bowl
승철
Tch
Seungcheol is terrible at anything related to cooking.
I can't even boil regular ramen
정한(5살)
Should we sleep in the playroom on the first floor today?
명호(5살)
It was pretty there
도겸(5살)
Joa
정한(5살)

호시(7살)
I'll give you my bed especially
Mingyu: Yeah...thank you
호시(7살)
Let's play with my robot
Mingyu: Yeah
