Su-jin: Forgiving... isn't that hard. It's just... giving away just one plain room in your heart. My grandpa said so. A true carpenter... is the one that can build a house in his heart. But in the house you've built. So well in your heart... You gave all the rooms away to your mother and to your hate. And where are you? And you're shivering outside the house. I understand. I know it's hard to forgive. But... My dad remembered that piece of wisdom... and forgave me when I almost ran off with a married man... and he permitted our marriage so easily. You know why? Forgiving... is giving your hate just a little room in your heart.

Doctor Lee: Do you work?
