Is your life at the medical school that hard?
You can tell me if you're struggling.
Maybe it's because I've been a bit sassy since I was young,
but you only tell Young Shin what's inside of your mind.
From now on,
you can tell me.
I'll be all ears.
Jung Hoon.
Lately,
I feel like I've come to like you more.
Da Jung.
Actually,
I have something to tell you.
You do?
What is it?
I love someone.
But that's not you.
I'm sorry.
Then...
who is she?
Is it someone I don't know?
All right.
I'll be aware of that.
You'll be aware of it?
What do you mean by that?
The fact that you have...
someone you love...
is something that we should cope with together.
What do you mean?
Do you really not know what I mean by that?
You should...
let me go now.
I'm sorry.
We should...
overcome this situation wisely, so it doesn't hurt us.
I'm sure you and I can do that.
Young Shin.
Can you come here now?
Why are you crying, Da Jung?
What's wrong?
How could he say such a thing?
He's pushing me away after all these years.
What does that make me?
I told him calmly that I'll pretend I didn't hear what he said.
But I felt so miserable...
that I had to clench my teeth through it.
Right. You did great.
You did a good job.
Jung Hoon. We need to talk.
Don't go inside the tent, Oh Bok. Give Da Jung some time alone.
You're the one who's been clinging on to her since eight.
How can you tell her to let go of you now?
Whatever reason you had for hanging on to Da Jung,
it's what you brought on yourself and the fate you should cope with.
Fate?
What has this to do with fate?
When your mother abandoned you,
your fate was determined.
Young Shin.
You'll regret saying that.
To overcome your wounds and to break free from them,
you used Da Jung all you want.
Like you said I was just eight.
And we're still only 20.
If that's what determines the long life ahead of us,
wouldn't that be too harsh?
Even if it's harsh, there's no other way.
It was your choice.
Your father had left you alone, engulfed in his feelings of sorrow.
Do you think you'd be who you are today without Da Jung's parents?
That's why I said I'll be the jerk.
That's far from enough!
If you just say that you're sorry,
does that settle everything?
You should console Da Jung.
You better do it properly since I'll be watching you.
It's all because I love you!
Who did you say you love?
You jerk. Did you just say you love her?
I must've misheard you, right?
Tell me I did.
How will you get back alone at this hour?
Does Jung Hoon love you?
That's nonsense.
I'll pretend not to know about this to Da Jung.
He asked the owner of the campsite to call a cab for him...
and went to the terminal.
Tell me if you feel cold, Da Jung. I'll turn the heater on.
To overcome your wounds...
and to break free from them,
you used Da Jung all you want.
Do you know why I like Da Jung?
Because she's pretty and has a mom.
I like going over to Da Jung's house.
It's not just about studying but I like being there.
The big TV and a cozy couch in the living room.
The pretty soap case and shampoo bottle in the bathroom.
Clean towels that always have a good scent.
It feels like the house that I used to live in before.
When I see Da Jung's parents coddle her, it reminds me...
that I used to live with my parents like that too.
That's what I think about there.
I can never...
go back to those times again.
The only place where I can forget I was abandoned in the country...
is Da Jung's house.
Young Shin.
- Young Shin. - Did you finish cleaning up?
Da Jung. Mr. Jung asked me to come home early today.
I should get going.
You guys can talk and come slowly.
- See you later. - See you.
Do you want to have tteokbokki before we go?
Okay.
The cleaning activity is over. What's taking Oh Bok so long?
Why are you waiting for Oh Bok?
I'm going to ask him to eat tteokbokki with us.
But he's such a messy eater.
Being messy is better than being boring.
What's the fun of eating tteokbokki with you?
Hey, Grasswalk! Get over here.
I told you I won't play with you if you call me Grasswalk!
So, you aren't going to play with me?
But I'm going to get tteokbokki!
Really? Then, of course, I'll play with you!
Let's hurry!
Geez.
What happened? You didn't spend the night and just came back?
It's so cold we couldn't sleep.
I'm sorry for waking you up for no reason.
Good night.
Hello, Se Jin.
I fought with Jung Hoon and ruined the mood.
Da Jung was looking forward to it, so she's probably irritated.
Uncle Jong Gwon doesn't know about money yet, does he?
He won't let it go if he knows.
We should take this chance to dispel the adoption rumor.
In any case, now that we've gotten dirt on Sook Jung,
I feel a spring in my step,
and the world feels so peaceful.
My gosh.
It's so awkward that nobody's talking...
during the meal, Sook Jung.
Then how about you start the chatter?
Well, I don't really have anything specific I want to say.
Not yet, at least.
Not yet? What does that mean?
Sook Jung, what do you mean chatter?
Jun Young is right here. Isn't that a bit harsh in front of her child?
Is that how you interpreted it?
No person is above another.
Jong Woo, you're speaking more forcefully now...
that you're the managing director instead of the parking attendant.
What's wrong with that?
Should she act like this family's housemaid forever,
while I act like the male servant?
What exactly are you trying to say?
Stop it, everyone!
I've never seen a family where the eldest wife...
fights with her brother-in-law!
Because of you all, we can't have one meal in peace!
By the way, Sook Jung.
Are the 100,000 dollars from the restaurant's company funds?
Or did it come from your own wallet?
Why? Are you going to sue me for embezzling company money?
Jun Young, tell your aunt that you'll work hard for her.
Hurry and tell her you'll act like a great son for her.
Mom, are you sick?
What's that all about all of a sudden?
Sook Jung, my Jun Young is such a nice boy,
so he won't make you sad later on.
Don't worry.
I wonder what she'll do.
Will she still talk about adopting a son?
Jun Young, just worry about being good to your parents.
You don't need to worry about your aunt and uncle.
Thank you, Aunt Sook Jung.
What are you thankful for?
So many kids these days act like their parents are invisible.
Why are you trying to burden me to care for Aunt and Uncle?
Did someone tell you to really look after them?
Does it cost you anything to say something nice?
Jun Young, come work part-time at the restaurant.
I told you I don't want to!
Listen to your father when I'm speaking nicely!
Now that you're the managing director,
you're being arrogant even to me.
It doesn't suit you, Dad!
What kind of kid says that?
Aren't you sleeping?
You go to bed first. I want to fix my fishing net before I sleep.
He goes fishing quite often lately.
I don't know if he loves fishing or just hates me.
I suppose he's uncomfortable.
He goes into his own world like a snail and doesn't come out.
Stop the talk of adopting a son.
After that was brought up, it put the family in shambles,
and Uncle Jong Gwon is acting like that.
Won't you lose everything if Uncle Jong Gwon turns away?
If I lived my life afraid of losing everything,
I, Choi Sook Jung, wouldn't have made it this far.
It's cold, and there are no fish.
We should head in today.
Let's do that.
Maybe it's the cold, but I'm starving.
Are there any good restaurants nearby?
What kind of food do you like?
I'll have anything as long as it's edible.
I parked my car here.
My son passed it on to me after he bought a new one.
Are you okay with a modest home-style meal?
It'll be worth eating.
Where is it?
If you go toward the village and ask...
where Young Shin's Diner is, everyone will know.
- Young Shin's Diner? - Yes.
You should go with me.
I'll eat later.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Where did you park your car?
Well, I took my bike here.
- Oh, I see. - Yes.
Welcome.
I'd like to have a meal.
We don't have a menu.
We just serve a home-style meal.
I was recommended to come here.
Just give me what you have.
Please sit wherever you'd like.
Please let me know if you need anything.
Okay.
Did you make this?
Why? Do you not like it?
How did you make a broth taste like this?
I made this with anchovy broth.
Anchovy broth?
It tastes so clean and delicious.
Nowadays, so many people put beef brisket in doenjang stew,
or they put in so much seafood that the fishy flavor overpowers it.
I can't remember the last time I had a doenjang stew...
that was made so deliciously with anchovy broth.
Is that so?
Please take your time and have as much as you'd like.
How could a young woman like you achieve this flavor?
Thank you.
Are these side dishes served every day?
Many customers purchase meal tickets and eat here every day,
so we serve different side dishes each day.
I see.
Who recommended us to you?
I don't know his name yet.
I met the man at the fishing area.
He's quite knowledgeable but seems a bit scary-looking.
He looks just like a retired boxer.
So it was Mr. Park!
Is he a regular?
He's like family.
I enjoyed my meal.
Of course, flavor matters,
but you clearly put so much love into every single side dish.
All I had was an ordinary meal, but it felt like a special treat,
and it really warmed me up inside.
Thank you for stopping in.
Your smile is so pleasant.
Your smile is like bright sunshine.
- Thank you. Please come again. - Sure.
Is it that upsetting that she couldn't finish the camping?
She won't go to school and cooped up in her room.
Did something happen while camping?
Apparently, Jung Hoon and Oh Bok had a fight.
They came back as they spoiled the moment.
Even so, is that a good reason to throw a tantrum?
Why do you stop eating?
I lost my appetite.
I've never heard that in my entire life.
Are you sick?
- Mr. Park. - Yes?
If Jung Hoon comes late, please tell him that I have something...
to say and to come see me.
He's sleeping at his friend's house these days and so doesn't come home.
He must have lots to study.
Please excuse me.
What's wrong with Oh Bok?
Is he really sick?
Give this to Da Jung.
All right.
Da Jung got mad after you and Jung Hoon got uncomfortable.
Is it because of Da Jung that you're uncomfortable with him?
It's no big deal.
I just need to act straight.
What are you doing there?
If things go well with you and Jung Hoon,
how can Da Jung live in this town with her pride?
What the heck are you talking about?
That will never happen.
Let's go in and eat. Don't say anything else.
I'll pass.
Would she want to see me at a time like this?
Eat this, Da Jung.
You and Jung Hoon have been together for a long time.
He may have second thoughts for a moment.
If you've really fallen in love with Jung Hoon,
you have to brace yourself and wait.
Leave it here and go.
I'll eat it later.
Why did you want to see me?
Sit down.
I'm sorry...
that I talked straightforwardly about fate last time during camping.
Okay.
Let's say I will deal with my own fate.
If I just endure when I don't love her,
is that really right for her?
Jung Hoon.
You feel like a brother to me.
What?
Even though I felt pitiful,
sorry, and piteous for you since I was young,
that's probably because you felt like my brother.
So you might have been mistaken...
that I liked you.
Do I really feel like a brother?
So...
I don't think I can ever go out with you.
- I'm sorry, but... - Do you mean it?
Go back to Da Jung as if nothing happened.
Answer me!
Is that how you really think?
It could be your last chance.
As you know, I'm a rude guy.
So I can't flirt alone with someone for long.
Do you really mean it when you said you only see me...
as a brother?
Of course, I mean it.
How can I believe you when you say it with those eyes?
Your eyes are shaking so much, Young Shin.
I was surprised as she had extraordinary skills.
It's a waste being in a tiny local restaurant.
Shall I find her a job?
I'd appreciate it.
She's a really nice kid.
There's a Korean restaurant I know.
Have you heard of "Royal Palace"?
I don't think she can go there.
Why not?
It's really unfair.
She's not a kid who would do that,
and I was actually the one who recommended a mushroom dish.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Did someone named...
Kim Young Shin get fired recently?
Where did you hear that from?
I want to hear more about why she was fired.
We gave assignments to the interns,
but it must've been difficult to prepare...
as she stole the mushroom recipe that I was preparing.
Why did you show your recipe to her?
Pardon?
She said she wanted to refer to it as she's preparing...
a mushroom dish too.
How did she know you were preparing a mushroom dish?
She may have heard that I'm preparing...
for the mushroom cooking contest.
Has anyone seen you show the recipe to her?
What are you talking about?
It's not right to fire her that way...
without any clear convictions.
Isn't it unknown who prepared the mushroom dish first?
Are you doubting Sung Chan?
I'm the one who gave her the idea to make a mushroom dish.
And, of course, Sung Chan started preparing first.
You gave her the idea to make a mushroom dish?
I felt bad as she was having a hard time choosing her dish,
so I recommended a mushroom dish.
Bring Kim Young Shin back.
- What? - Do as I say.
I can't do that.
I'm in charge of the restaurant.
I didn't entrust the restaurant to you to do such a thing...
to an innocent young woman.
If you're going to do that, come down from the CEO position.
Did you just say...
to come down from the CEO position?
After what she's done, Sook Jung gave her 100,000 dollars.
Did you say 100,000 dollars?
And what is that about?
She framed her unfairly and kicked her out as if she had a story.
And then gave her 100,000 dollars to buy her silence for that story.
What story?
When she came to give back the 100,000 dollars,
she said she'd take revenge.
Min Gyung, don't get excited.
There's no revenge.
Then why did you try to give her 100,000 dollars?
That wasn't money to buy her silence.
I gave it to help Jung Gyung Soo.
Who is Jung Gyung Soo?
He's the guy I wanted to adopt.
He's running a diner on rent,
but the landlord told him to move out suddenly,
so I helped.
You wanted to adopt Jung Gyung Soo?
(A Good Supper)
Don't make Da Jung cry.
It's the last request from your foolish friend.
It's none of your business.
I just can't tell my mom and dad.
I can stay by your side like paying off my debts. I'll tell them.
"Like paying off my debts"?
You wanted to adopt Jung Gyung Soo?
That's what I said. Why do you keep asking?
No. Jun Young is the successor of this family.
You must never tell anyone about Choi Sook Jung.
Nice to meet you.
I see he's Jung Gyung Soo.
