It’s Doo-shik’s birthday, so Hye-jin cooks seaweed soup. Mi-sun side-eyes the concoction, but Hye-jin force-feeds her some anyway before skipping over to Doo-shik’s with thermos in hand. When she arrives, there’s a whole party already underway, and Doo-shik explains that the villagers do this for him every year. As Hwa-jung serves her own seaweed soup, Chun-jae leads everyone in singing Happy Birthday. Doo-shik smiles broadly while protesting that they really don’t have to do this (they assure him he deserves it). After he blows out the candles, everyone insists Hye-jin help him cut the first slice of cake.

The couple slips inside to get watermelon, and he notices her thermos. Hye-jin hesitates, since he’s already eaten seaweed soup, but he just says there’s nothing wrong with having a second bowl and happily drinks it down. Meanwhile, at home, Mi-sun rinses her mouth out, complaining that no one deserves to eat something so salty. Doo-shik gives no sign, though he does refuse to let Hye-jin try any of it.

When they reappear outside with the watermelon, everyone starts making up excuses to leave early

When they reappear outside with the watermelon, everyone starts making up excuses to leave early. Yoon-kyung, Geum-chul, and a sleepy Bora are the last to leave, and as they make their way home, Yoon-kyung asks Geum-chul if they can go on a date this weekend. With the baby coming soon, it might be their last chance for some alone time for a while. But Geum-chul tells her to rest instead.

Hye-jin wishes Doo-shik a private happy birthday. She also notices a new addition to his wine shelf, which he says is for her – but she’ll have to wait a year for it to get sweet enough. Hye-jin sticks a label on the bottle to mark it as hers, and sentimentally wonders what things will be like a year from now. Doo-shik looks thoughtful… and repeats that the wine will be sweeter by then.
