The Last Scandal of My Life: Episode 13

Ajumma went to the gym wall and started to write “Hong Sun Hee’s feelings…” when she realised it was way to dark to write, went to switch the light on,

Song Jae Bin: Don’t switch on the lights

Ajumma: Is it Dong Chul? Why are you here sitting alone in the dark?

Song Jae Bin: I’m sleeping

Ajumma: What?

Song Jae Bin: Don’t disturb me and just leave

Ajumma realised something must be amissed here with his tone of voice, went to him and saw that he was crying

Ajumma: Dong Chul? Are you….crying?

Song hugged Ajumma

Song Jae Bin: Sun Hee, I’m afraid

Ajumma wrapped her arms to console him

Ajumma: I know now why you wouldn’t let me cry

Song Jae Bin then released his hold

Song Jae Bin: Ah! This is so satisfying, that is why we are best of friends. Hong Sun Hee, it is a pleasure not only to have a friend like you. Hyung (Jang Dong Hwa) will be there waiting, worried about you. I will get the car key and sent you there

Song Jae Bin then left to get the car key, leaving Ajumma digesting the scene that had just happened.

Car journey

Ajumma: Shall I give a call to Sang Jang Nim (Jang Dong Hwa) that I wouldn’t be coming to the theatre? If you wish, I will stay here with you.

Song: I have an appointment

Ajumma: Huh?

Song: Once you meet Hyung (Jang Dong Hwa), asked him to treat you a nice meal

Ajumma: Why? But who are going to see?

Song: Why?

Ajumma: It is nothing. Who you meet is none of my concern, but I am afraid you may drink (alcohol). When you return, your clothes may have been soiled and it is hard to wash it off especially chilli paste is the most deadliest

Ajumma in her housewife mode. Song Jae Bin was amused by the comment.

Song Jae Bin: Don’t worry. I will not be drinking

Ajumma: Is it? That it will be fine

Song Jae bin: We are here (arrived)

Ajumma: So fast?

Song Jae Bin saw his brother donned something so casually for the first time waiting at the entrance of the theatre.

Song Jae Bin: Really?

Ajumma: Eh?

Song Jae Bin: Oh? Nothing. You are going to be late. Why are you still here?

Ajumma: I’m off

But Ajumma was still sitting in the car.

Song Jae Bin: Why aren’t you going?

Ajumma was still looking at Song Jae Bin

Ajumma: I’m off

Song Jae Bin turned her head towards the door/

Song Jae Bin: Leave

Ajumma opened the door and Song Jae Bin tracked her with his eyes

Jang Dong Hwa saw Ajumma coming and hid the stock of rose. While Ajumma was walking away from Song Jae Bin’s car, Jang Dong Hwas realised that Song Jae Bin was the person who sent her. Song Jae Bin drove off. Ajumma looked so longing and decided to hail a taxi to follow Song Jae Bin.

All this was witnessed by Jang Dong Hwa and he got a call. It was Lee Na Yun

Jang Dong Hwa: Oh! Why

Lee Na Yun: All because of you…

Jang Dong Hwa: What is it?

Lee Na Yun: Jae Bin found out. What am I to do? What to do?

Jang Dong Hwa: What?

Jang Dong Hwa rushed over to Lee Na Yun’s as he realised what had happened. Song Jae Bin reached Lee Na Yun’s hotel, followed by Ajumma in her taxi. Ajumma wondered why he was there in a hotel.

Lee was getting anxious in her room and there was a door knock, thinking it was Jang Dong Hwa, she opened it and found out that it was Song Jae Bin. Song Jae Bin invited himself into the room.

Lee Na Yun: Jae Bin?

Song Jae Bin: I have come to confirm what you said at the holiday villa.

Lee Na Yun looked so ridden with guilt

Lee Na Yun: What I said at the holiday villa was just nonsense because I was angry

Song Jae Bin: From now on, you need to be responsible in what you say. If you said anything wrong again, it will be the death of you.

Song Jae Bin’s nephew (Jang Dong Hwa’s son) was called Hu

Song Jae Bin: Is Hu….my son? Is it true?

Lee Na Yun: It is my fault

Song Jae Bin: Answer me!!!! Is that child my son? True?

Lee could only managed a nod to confirm that it was true

Song: 15 years ago, you left me all of the sudden, was this your idea or did Hyung (Jang Dong Hwa) asked you to do it? Whose idea was it? Yours or Hyung’s?

Meanwhile Jang Dong Hwa arrived at the hotel but saw Ajumma was waiting at the sidewalk. But he had to rush to see Lee Na Yun.

Back at Lee Na Yun’s room

Song: So what do you now want to do about this? I am already like this (emotional about hearing the truth), how about Hu? I know what you need to do now. For 15 years because of you…I treated Hyung……

Lee Na Yun was already begging

Lee Na Yun: It is my fault. Can you give me one more chance?

Lee Na Yun tried to hold his hand but Song Jae Bin just flicked it off

Song Jae Bin: From now on, please disappeared from my eye sight

Lee Na Yun: Jae Bin, I was scared that why I ran away. Can I have from you just one more chance?

Song Jae Bin: I understand. What you are feeling right now? I know of it all too well. But understanding and give you another chance are not the same. 15 years was too long a time. Now you are in no position to demand anything anymore. Don’t need to do anything, just leave quietly

Song Jae Bin left

Lee Jae Bin: Hong Sun Hee! Is it because of her?

Song Jae Bin turned around

Lee Na Yun: There is still Hu. Why are you treating me this way?

Song Jae Bin: I hope from your mouth never to utter Hu’s name again

Song left the room, opened the door to find Jang Dong Hwa was at the door. Song Jae Bin just left.

Jang Dong Hwa: Jae Bin!!!!

Jang Dong Hwa went in too see Lee Na Yun

Jang Dong Hwa: How much does Jae Bin knows?

Lee Na Yun: All of it

Jang Dong Hwa grabbed Lee Na Yun and shook her

Jang Dong Hwa: Are you crazy!!!! I used my life to protect this and you just helped me to shatter it. Now do you know what am I going to do to you.

Song Jae Bin left the hotel to his car and saw Ajumma was sitting at the side walk. He drove over and wound down his window. Ajumma turned around

Song Jae Bin: Say what are you being here, did Hyung (Jang Dong Hwa) stood you up?

Ajumma: Why are you here?

Song Jae Bin: I was stood up

Song Jae Bin took Ajumma home, and at the driveway

Song Jae Bin: Why?

Ajumma: You looked strange. What is the matter?

Song Jae Bin: I was stood up

Ajumma: Don’t be funny. Said it, what the matter?

Song Jae Bin: You wouldn’t have the patience

Ajumma: It’s fine. Say it

Song Jae Bin signalled for her hand, which she gave and Song Jae Bin just held to her hand and sighed. Ajumma waiting eagerly for Song Jae Bin to tell her what was bothering him

Ajumma: Dong Chul?

Song Jae Bin: I’m tired. Wait a moment then leave

Song Jae Bin just only could rest his eyes, holding to Ajumma’s hand as something relaxing

Meanwhile Jang Dong Hwa was already home and went to Song Jae Bin’s room and tried to call him, but there was no response then called Ajumma. Ajumma on hearing her phone, but didn’t answer. Song Jae Bin released her hand and asked her to leave the car first. Ajumma got off while Song Jae Bin drove off. Ajumma tried to call his phone, but couldn’t get through.

Ajumma came into the house and Jang Dong Hwa was waiting. He asked if she just had got back. Ajumma apologised that she had some matter and didn’t come to the theatre. Jang Dong Hwa said, it was alright as he too have some matter that he didn’t turned up too. Ajumma was glad and Jang Dong Hwa asked her to go in and rest.

The next morning, the kids were getting ready to school, The Assistant and Driver came in and told them that Song Jae Bin was missing. They asked what had happened but was asked to go to Jang Dong Hwa’s study as he was waiting for them.

Ji Min was worried that her idol Song Jae Bin was missing. Hu assured her that it was not the first time his Uncle (Song Jae Bin) had done it. He did it all the time. Hu said that it was because Song Jae Bin doesn’t want to to shoot the film. Ji Min was relieved to hear that and Hu hurried her off to school or they will be late

Ajumma wasn’t too sure and started to worry. Assistant came down from the study and Assistant asked Ajumma in passing whether Song Jae Bin ever mentioned anything to her. Ajumma made a comment that yesterday Song Jae Bin wasn’t in a good mood. Maybe it was like what Hu said, he didn’t want to shoot the film. Assistant said it was not the same this time. Song Jae Bin had changed all his film and television schedule, it was to say, he had planned this disappearance. It is worrying. Ajumma wanted to know further, when Assistant caught sight of Jang Dong Hwa coming down from the stairs and made a hasty exit.

Ajumma asked whether he wanted something to eat before leaving for work. Jang Dong Hwa said today he will not be going to work. Jang Dong Hwa asked Ajumma, should Song Jae Bin by any chance contacted her, to let him know. He returned to his study. Ajumma wondered what was going on and how Song Jae Bin got everyone worried about him. She tried to Song Jae Bin but no response. They should have talk when he returned

Song Jae Bin went to the bus stop where the kids (Ji Min and Hu) were waiting for their bus. They were glad to see Song Jae Bin. Hu asked where he had been and he got everyone worried about him. Song Jae Bin asked Hu to get on the car. Hu asked Why? Song Jae Bin said he had an urgent matter to discuss with him, and hurried him into the car. Ji Min asked whether she can tagged along, but Song Jae Bin apologised to say that she had to go to school to apply leave for Hu from his teacher as he will not be at school and drove off.

Hu was surprised at his Uncle’s action and that his Uncle had asked him to play truant from school. He asked that his Uncle to send him back to school immediately. Song Jae Bin took no heed of his nephew’s complaint and protest and pester to take him back to school. Song Jae Bin decided to take him to the countryside for some fresh air.

Ajumma on the other hand at home took hold of the walkie talkie device and she recalled what Song Jae Bin had said

Song Jae Bin: This walkie talkie doesn’t have a distance restriction, so you need to carry it at all times. I don’t know when I will be hungry.

Ajumma then talked to it

Ajumma: Jang Dong Chul….Dong Chul….I had prepared the meal. Come and eat. Where are you?!!!!!”

Song Jae Bin took his nephew for a stroll in the park. His nephew was not at all interested in what his Uncle was trying to do. Hu jsaid that his Uncle was just blowing his trumpet (boasting). Hu asked to go home, but the request was denied by Song Jae Bin, then he asked to be taken back to school, was also turned down. Hu went on in a huff and Song Jae Bin pointed out why does he want to be like a little adult. Song Jae Bin showed a relax way of walking. Hu was thinking it look more like a clown and was not gentlemanly at all. Song Jae Bin was surprised and wondered why Jang Dong Hwa brought him in his replica.

Song Jae Bin asked what subject he preferred, and Hu answered that at his grade, they took all subjects. Song Jae Bin was trying to find out if Hu had any similarities with him. Hu suddenly had a urge to go to the toilet for a big business (pass motion) and asked Song Jae Bin to find out where was the toilet. Song Jae Bin asked his nephew to do in the trees. Hu said he can’t and pretend to look uneasy. Song Jae Bin can’t believe his nephew was such a sissy. Song Jae Bin then went to find the toilet. Hu took his phone and texted Ji Min to rescue him.

Jang Dong Hwa, Ajumma and Ji Min went to the location to find them. Jang Dong Hwa stopped and said that he wouldn’t be going

Ajumma: Why?

Jang Dong Hwa: Jae Bin doesn’t want to see me. Can I asked you a favour? You are his friend. Will you bring him home? Will you do it for me?

Ajumma: Yes

Ji Min asked if Jang Dong Hwa was coming, but Ajumma made an excuse that Jang Dong Hwa was busy

Ji Min and Ajumma went searching and found Song Jae Min and Hu, with some fishing gear. Hu was so glad to see Ji Min. Remembered Hu had a crush on Ji Min. Both kids jumped for joy. Song was surprised to see them there. Ji Min said Hu texted her. Hu then said it was an SOS message. Song Jae Bin asked then whether they wanted to go fishing too. The kids said it will be fun.

Ajumma: Do you know everyone is worried about you? Aren’t your actions taken way a little too far?

Song Jae Bin took no heed of it

Ajumma: Do you know how worry….

Ajumma implied that she was the one who worried as well.

Song Jae Bin: I’m not a child, what is there to worry? I wanted to take a break

They all went fishing. It looked like a family outing. Song Jae Bin and the kids, having fun at the water, while Ajumma looked on. Ajumma said that Song Jae Bin from here looked so much like the real Dong Chul. They caught a fish. Song Jae Bin slipped onto the water. Ji Min invited her mother in. All were having a good time. Song Jae Bin scooped the water in the net and extended it to make rain drop effect. Jang Dong Hwa was in the distance, looked on at them having fun and left

Ajumma was drying out Ji Min’s school uniform. I will assumed that their school uniform was meant to be dry cleaned. Song Jae Bin stole glances at Ajumma. Hu was trying to take off his wet shoes. Song Jae Bin took it of for him and undo the laces to say that it will dry faster that way. Hu said he will persuaded his father when he went home to speak to him. Song Jae Bin asked wouldn’t he be afraid to receive a reprimand from his father. He said that his father was not a person that lose his temper easily. Hu was afraid that his father might be disappointed with him. Hu said the he and his father have made a promise not to disappoint each other and he can’t go back on his word. Song Jae Bin asked if he was ever once was disappointed with his father. Hu confirmed that it was why he has full respect for his father. Song Jae Bin was slightly disappointed on hearing this.

Song Jae Bin said he never had Hu’s respect and said at his age he was still immatured. Hu said he did respected Song Jae Bin. He was surprised. Hu said that his father had always said that his Uncle in his profession he was No. 1. Hu agreed with the statement that his favourite Uncle Song Jae Bin was the best, and many kids in his school idolized him. It was such an honour. Song Jae Bin said it was nice to know of it.

Meanwhile Jang Dong Hwa was at home in Hu’s room looking around and saw the photographs taken with him and Hu, that it brough tears to his eyes.

Song Jae Bin headed back to the car.

Ajumma: Why are you here, all of the sudden?

Song Jae Bin: I want to rest

Ajumma: With Hu, playing truant from school

Song Jae Bin: Coming alone was senseless

Ajumma: I know you are getting stranger

Song Jae Bin: What!!!

Ajumma: I don’t know. I felt that you are not the Dong Chul, I know

Song Jae Bin: You are correct

Ajumma: What?

Song Jae Bin: I’m Song Jae Bin. The kids have to go to school early tomorrow, let’s sent them home and rest. Let’s hurry

Jang Dong Hwa was waiting outside the house for Song Jae Bin and the gang to return. A car came up the driveway, but it was Lee Na Yun

Jang Dong Hwa: Is this a place for you to come?

Lee Na Yun: I wanted to see Hu and will then leave

Jang grabbed her

Jang Dong Hwa: What are you doing?

Lee Na Yun: That I wanted to ask you. Why both of you are treating me this way? Don’t you all have some fault to it

Jang Dong Hwa: I haven’t spoken to Jae Bin about this. You being like this will not be beneficial to you either

Song Jae Bin arrived. The kids wre fast asleep at the back. Jang Dong Hwa tried to bring out Hu from the car, but Song Jae Bin pushed him away and said he will do it. Song Jae Bin passed Lee Na Yun as though she was transparent. While Ajumma tried to wake Ji Min up, Jang Dong Hwa volunteerd to take Ji Min in. Jang Dong Hwa also passed by Lee Na Yun. By now Lee Na Yun can’t stand the cold treatment she was getting and vented it out on Ajumma

Lee Na Yun: Ajumma, you really are the greatest. Jae Bin and you, what kind of relationship do you have?

Ajumma: We are classmates

Lee Na Yun: Ah! Then what do you think that my relationship with Jae Bin is?

Ajumma: I don’t wish to know

Lee Na Yun: How to say this? You will find it soon enough.

Lee Na Yun left. Ajumma went back to her quarters, as Jang Dong Hwa was coming out of Ji Min’s room and told her that Ji Min was tucked into bed. Ajumma thanked him. Jang Dong Hwa asked if Song Jae Bin had said anything to her. Ajumma replied he didn’t.

Ajumma: What is the matter with Song Jae Bin? It is true that something had happened. Why? Is there something I should know about?

Jang Dong Hwa: I will let you know the next time. It will still need some time. Thank you for bringing Jae Bin back home. Please take a rest.

Song Jae Bin tucked Hu to bed and stroked his hair and face. Jang Dong Hwa entered into the house and saw Song Jae Bin leaving Hu’s room

Jang Dong Hwa: Do you have something to say to me?

Both men went out of the house

Song Jae Bin: What do want to hear?

Jang Dong Hwa: What do you want to say? Say it.

Song Jae Bin: What? Am I suppose to thank you? 15 years because of me, you had sacrifice yourself, you have brought my child, concealed this secret from me and nurtured me to become a Top Star.

Jang Dong Hwa: At that time, it was the best solution

Song Jae Bin gave right hook at Jang Dong Hwa and he fell to the ground.

Song Jae Bin: To have my child called me Uncle for 15 years, was the best solution. How can you conjoured something like that for being a reason? Hyung, you see me as a idiot. Why is it that on my own matter, I become the last person who doesn’t know about it

Jang Dong Hwa: If you know, would you be able to bring up Hu? What Na Yun came to me, she had already decided to leave you. I knew very well that you cannot handled it (emotionally). I can’t bring it up to say it, so I decided to bring the child up. What am I to do?

Song Jae Bin: So you were willing to become the lover. To have Hu to become your child. Don’t make excuses that it was for me. It was your for your own ambition. I don’t know, I am like a machine, following your instructions on what you say and want me to do. So my life is just one big fat lie. Now what, try to return, when there is no way of turning back

Ajumma at her quarters recalled the incident between she and Lee Na Yun.

Lee Na Yun: Then do you know what my relationship with Jae Bin is?

Jang Dong Hwa: I will let you know the next time. It will still need some time.

Ajumma started to put the pieces together

Ajumma: It couldn’t be….

Ajumma went out for some fresh air and overheared the two men outside

Song Jae Bin: From now on, I beg of you, please don’t interfere with my life. I don’t need Hyung’s help or your involvements. Let me settled this. Remember, it you interfere in my matters again, I will not tolerate it.

Song Jae Bin walked away and Ajumma saw Jang Dong Hwa’s bleeding lips

Ajumma applied medicine on the Jang Dong Hwa’s lip. Jang Dong Hwa looked at her

Jang Dong Hwa: Ajumma, It is painful…(I think it more imply to his feeling rather than physical). Thank you

Jang Dong Hwa left for his room. Ajumma packed up the first aid kit and Song walked in, saw her, and left

Next morning, Ajumma brought up a glass of juice for Song Jae Bin to find that he was not in bed.

Ajumma: What? Where did he disappeared so early?

Song Jae Bin: What?

Song Jae Bin was putting his jacket on

Ajumma: Where are you going?

Song: Shooting. Why?

Song Jae Bin took the glass of juice and drank it

Ajumma: Nothing. Why are you so early?

Song Jae Bin: I have rested for a few days, had delayed a few shooting schedule. After this, there is no need to sent the juice to the room. I will drink it on my own. Carry on.

Song Jae Bin left

Ajumma: Dong Chul?

Ajumma chased him down the stairs

Ajumma: Jang Dong Chul?

Ajumma held his arm

Ajumma: Why are you like this to me, recently?

Song Jae Bin: What?

Ajumma: Don’t you know what I am asking? You are avoiding me. What is the matter that you are like this?

Song Jae Bin: What matter? Ah, I’m really busy.

Ajumma: Look! Like that! You dared not looked me in the eye.

Song Jae Bin then stared down on Ajumma

Song Jae Bin: Is this fine? Because of you, I’m late. If you call, I will not turn

Ajumma was at end wits to Song Jae Bin’s recent behaviour

Outside the house. Jang Dong Hwa waiting

Jang Dong Hwa: Jae Bin….Can you go for the shoot?

Song Jae Bin: Can’t I?

Jang Dong Hwa: This movie, I want to manage it. It is not convenient for you with Na Yun. If you are not willing, from today you do not need to go.

Song Jae Bin: There is no reason to hide. I’m not a criminal. Why do I need to hide?

Jang Dong Hwa: I wouldn’t say it anymore, you should know. For the time being, don’t go near reporters

Song Jae Bin: Yeah! This is what the real Jang Dong Hwa looks like. This matter, you can only think of reporters.

Jang Dong Hwa: Jae Bin!

Jang Dong Hwa tried to hold onto Song Jae Bin

Jang Dong Hwa: You….Na Yun….I….We must first think of Hu

Song Jae Bin just walked off

Ajumma was vacuuming the gym, wanted to make a call to Song Jae Bin but hesitated

At the location. Song Jae Bin was trying to do the same. Lee Na Yun came onto the set, while Song Jae Bin was texting on his phone. Lee Na Yun sat next to Song Jae Bin

Lee: Have you said it to Hu?

Song Jae Bin doesn’t say anything

Lee Na Yun: By your looks, you haven’t. He may not be able to accept you, can he accept Hong Sun Hee. I am all prepared. What do you think? Because of you, let me take Hu away for you.

Song Jae Bin: You have too much to say. Did I said it clearly to you not to utter Hu’s name?

Lee Na Yun: You haven’t heard from Dong Hwa. I will not stand down. Ah! Reporter Kim

Reporter Kim: Aigoo! Both of you together that is great. Public acclaimed couple. If you both go on a date, let us in on it

Lee: Of course not. We are in a secret, isn’t it, Jae Bin

Reporter Kim: Then let posed for the camera

Song Jae Bin: Sorry. The staff are here, it time for the shoot, next time for the photos

Song Jae Bin walked away

Reporter Kim: Ms Lee Na Yun, is there any news you can tell us about the both of you?

Lee Na Yun: Of course, not long from now, I will give you a sensation special news. Just wait for it

Ajumma was sitting on the sofa in the gym, recalled Song Jae Bin giving her a cake and sang ‘Happy Divorce’. Song Jae Bin was drawing a line on the ground to say that she have to smile before she entered. Song Jae Bin walkie-talkied to say if she have any last word to say to the 17 years old Jang Dong Chul. Ajumma went to Song Jae Bin’s graffiti on the wall that he preferred the 39 years old Hong Sun Hee. Ajumma went to write her reply

Meanwhile Song Jae Bin was on his way home, reading his script and he wrote on the car window.

Song Jae Bin was dropped home. Ajumma waiting for him outside.

Ajumma: You are back. Are you tired?

Ajumma asked for his hand but he didn’t offer it. Ajumma took his hand but he refused. Ajumma then draw a line on the ground

Ajumma: If you don’t smile, you can’t enter. Song Jae Bin, just bring out the country’s most perfect smile

Song Jae Bin: I’m tired

Song Jae Bin was not in the mood to play games

Ajumma: Fine. A force smile will do

Song Jae Bin: Enough

Ajumma: Yea! Fans wished for it. Can’t you smile?

Song Jae Bin: Sun Hee?

Ajumma: Oh?

Song: You have say to me before, you can’t see me as 39 years old. I let go of Jang Dong Chul. I know and understand what you meant. To you Song Jae Bin is a dream, to me Song Jae Bin is reality. Please move aside

Ajumma stood still

Ajumma: No. If you don’t, smile for me. I will not move aside

Song Jae Bin passed right through her

Ajumma: Dong Chul. I’m now crying. My tears are beyond control and you are leaving

Song Jae Bin turned around.

Song Jae Bin: Hong Sun Hee. I have said it, if you ever cry, you be fired. You are fired. Just leave this house

Ajumma just looked at Song Jae Bin
