You're saying you only used the 100 thousand dollars...
to try to help the young man named Jung Gyung Soo?
And it has nothing to do with firing Kim Young Shin?
That's what I told you.
And you truly had no idea...
Jung Gyung Soo and Kim Young Shin live under one roof?
I found out when Min Gyung went to Kim Young Shin's address...
and saw Jung Gyung Soo there.
Then what is Min Gyung talking about?
Then why did Jung Gyung Soo barge in looking...
like he wanted to tear the place down?
And why did Kim Young Shin go red with anger...
and swear to get revenge for Jung Gyung Soo?
Honey,
that's your victim complex.
What?
You're afraid that they'll adopt him as a son,
so you've lost your normal sense of judgment.
Why are you trying to make me out to be mentally ill?
Because you're making me mentally ill!
Stop playing detective!
Would you adopt a son from a family...
that has a grudge against you?
He doesn't know we're discussing adopting him, does he?
I'm worried he'd run away if we burden him.
Run away?
I don't think he's the type who'd leap at the chance to be...
adopted by a rich family.
Really?
I'm happy to hear that.
That's why I'm thinking about adopting him.
Of course.
If Jung Gyung Soo is adopted into the family,
Jun Young will be as vulnerable as a duck egg in the Nakdong River.
That's his fate as my son.
If he's a duck egg, he'll live and die as a duck.
Do you think he'd become a swan?
No.
This family's heir is our Jun Young.
No matter what they say, it's my son, Jun Young!
Are you really conniving to adopt Jung Gyung Soo?
Do you think he'd agree if I asked him to?
Then why would you say that?
What other stories would you make up about the 100 thousand dollars?
With this, I was able to resolve the problems...
with Kim Young Shin and the money.
So, you have your eye set on Jung Gyung Soo as an adopted son?
That's what I said. Why do you keep asking?
That's unbelievable.
Who are you to decide what's believable or not?
Like I said,
he's the son of my old acquaintances.
They've both passed on,
and I know their and Gyung Soo's character very well.
So, I'm considering taking him in as my son.
I hope you'd stop making things up...
and framing innocent people.
If you have that little to do with your life,
then you'd be better off raising your son better.
Understood?
How is he?
Don't you agree that Jung Gyung Soo...
has trust written on his forehead?
He has goodness in his eyes, and he looks tenacious.
Even if kids like Jun Young are more than 30,
he's worth more.
I can't even begin to compare Jun Young to him, honestly.
Kids like Jun Young?
What's wrong with Jun Young?
Do you really not know?
This clear codfish soup looks so refreshing.
Jun Young, did you come in late after drinking last night again?
I made it so you could feel better. Eat as much as you want.
He didn't even drink that much.
Right, he drank less than the other night.
When do you study when you're always drinking?
Is the codfish soup to your liking?
It's refreshing and tasty.
Don't just drink the broth. Eat the meat, too.
If you don't want to debone it, I'll do it for you.
Oh, right. You should call Kim Young Shin back to the kitchen.
Why are you bringing that up again?
You can't just fire her without firm evidence.
Firm evidence?
That was your guess, not firm evidence.
If it's true that she's been treated unfairly,
how can you repay her for blocking her bright future?
If you don't have grudges against him like you said,
there's no reason not to bring her back.
You're saying someone spoke to President Kang Jong Gwon?
It's not me or Young Shin.
Really?
If Young Shin or I went to talk with him,
why would we only talk about the unfair firing?
We'd mention the full story of why she had to be fired unfairly.
Tell Kim Young Shin to come back to work.
It's a favor for you,
officially.
Did you just call it a favor?
Whether it's a favor or a threat, I'm listening anyway.
Okay. I'll tell her to go to work.
Why...
did you start raising her?
Are you asking because you're expecting an answer?
She came to me and said she wants revenge.
Did you raise her to get revenge against me?
If she makes a scene to get revenge,
she'll suffer.
I won't just sit and still.
You should know my character.
I want you two to watch your mouths.
Do you understand?
Did you tell Choi Sook Jung you want revenge?
I told her I'll never forgive her.
If you ruin your life trying to get revenge for me,
how do you think I'd feel?
Do you think I'd be grateful?
"It's touching that you want to get revenge for me."
Is that what you think I'd say?
Mr. Jung.
The restaurant wants you to come back to work.
Really?
Just forget everything you've heard from me.
Go look straight ahead and learn some more...
so you can succeed in society as a cook.
I just want you to grow...
without getting hurt.
Do you understand?
Don't you ever mention Choi Sook Jung and her story...
in front of anyone.
Okay?
Answer me.
So in exchange for me working there again,
you agreed to cover up her past?
It would be foolish for you with your whole life ahead of you...
to waste your life by destroying someone else.
So answer me.
Then where did Uncle Jong Gwon hear about Kim Young Shin's firing?
That's what I want to know.
Seeing how surprised she was,
I don't think it's Min Gyung.
Young Shin started working at the Royal Palace again.
Really?
That's great.
I'm glad it ended fairly.
Exactly.
I was ready to hire her...
and help out.
Anyway, thank you for your concern.
It's nothing.
By the way, what's your surname?
You can just call me Mr. Park.
Mine is Kang.
Then I guess I can call you Mr. Kang.
I guess people who meet at the fishing dock...
all call each other mister.
Welcome!
I see it's fish pancakes today.
- Yes. - It looks great.
Would you like to try some?
Pancakes taste the best when you taste them as they're frying.
It's hot!
It's good!
So today's dinner is mackerel pike kimchi stew.
Fish pancakes, radish greens, spinach,
braised potatoes, fried anchovies, and salted oysters with hot pepper!
Even leaf mustard kimchi!
It's not much, but please enjoy.
Not at all. I'm about to have a hearty meal.
I might not be here next time.
Mr. Park told me...
that you got a job.
This makes me sad.
I'll never get to see you beaming...
like the sun again. What a shame.
Mr. Jung, please say hello.
He comes by our diner sometimes after fishing.
Nice to meet you.
Please take your time and enjoy.
That must be Jung Gyung Soo.
If you get distracted while working, you might hurt yourself.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Jung Hoon doesn't come home these days, right?
No, why do you ask?
Is something going on between you guys?
The number you have dialed is not available. Please leave a message...
I'm sorry.
Please tell the manager I left early as I'm not feeling well.
I'll wait in front of your college building.
Why are you ignoring my calls and texts?
What brings you here?
Maybe you don't think of me as a friend.
But I've thought of you as one.
I'm sorry.
What are you trying to say?
Don't make Da Jung cry.
It's the last request from your foolish friend.
Don't try to stick your nose into this.
Are you going to forsake everything for Young Shin?
Jung Hoon.
Let's go for lunch.
- Sure. - Are you guys talking?
No,
I don't know him.
Let's go.
(Stationery store)
Hey.
Are you going to give this ttakji...
to your stupid uncle?
- Stupid. - He's stupid.
Your uncle is stupid,
so he plays with it like kids, doesn't he?
- Oh Bok's uncle... - Oh Bok's uncle...
- is stupid! - Is stupid!
Shut it, you jerk!
What the heck?
- Hey. What's this? - Are you all right?
I have a nosebleed!
Did you just punch me?
Right. What are you going to do about it?
Stop it!
Hey! Why are you guys fighting?
The teacher will scold you for this!
This jerk called my uncle stupid.
What? Who said that?
Do you want to die?
Why would you call him stupid?
And how smart do you think are?
Apologize. You!
Apologize to him, right now.
Why would I apologize?
I called him stupid because he is.
There are always kids like them in every neighborhood.
They won't listen if you tell them nicely.
I need to teach him a lesson.
- Da Jung. - Apologize, right now.
Hey!
- Right. This will be your last day. - It hurts. Stop it.
- Guys, stop fighting. - Let him go. Stop it.
- What if you pull all his hair out? - That hurts.
- Say you're sorry. - Let go.
What are you guys doing?
Stop it.
This boy called Yong Goo stupid.
Jung Hoon.
How can you be such a coward?
I've never seen...
anyone as cowardly as you.
What happened to you?
Did you fight?
Some boys made fun of Uncle saying he's stupid,
so I had a fight.
What?
Those sons of guns.
Where are they?
Why did you not help?
I didn't want to get into a fight.
Even Da Jung stepped up for him although she's weak,
but did you just stand by without helping?
Da Jung's dad is a teacher,
so she wouldn't get into trouble even though she helped.
What?
The boy who got a nosebleed. His dad is a policeman.
Did you just stand by...
because I have no power, unlike his dad?
Why don't you...
go in later?
It seems your dad is upset.
Why are you sitting out here?
Is it because your dad might tell you off?
Then let's go inside Uncle's room.
It's cold out.
How can I go in when I feel sorry for him?
How come?
Is it because you didn't stick up for me when they called him stupid?
Uncle doesn't know about these things.
I'm sure he does.
Then go over to Da Jung's house.
Da Jung told me not to even set a foot.
She said I was a coward.
Then I'll sit next to you.
That way, Mr. Park will tell you to come in.
Do you also think I was a coward?
No, I think it was smart of you.
That boy's dad is a policeman.
So he might come to get me tomorrow.
To be honest, I'm kind of scared.
I'll be the witness then.
What's a witness?
I'll tell them that...
it was his fault.
You know everything.
Okay, thanks.
Why don't we play with these?
Sure.
Maybe you don't think of me as a friend.
But I've thought of you as one.
I'm sorry.
Did you see Jung Hoon in school?
Why didn't you go to his class?
That's not easy to do in our situation.
Although I acted as if I would let this pass,
how could I do that when he clearly told me?
He's been staying at his friend's place in case he runs into me.
He's not even going home.
Give him some time to clear his mind up.
Da Jung. What was that?
Did you guys break up?
You made a great choice.
It's the perfect fit for you...
who's sophisticated.
Goodness. You have such fair skin.
Do you get facial treatments?
Thank you. I hope you like it.
- Thank you. Have a good day. - Yes, goodbye.
It was just a purse. Why did you butter her up?
I have to swallow my pride in this business.
Those girls drain energy...
but often leave without buying anything.
I'm thirsty with all the flattering I had to do.
Mom.
Should I end things with Jung Hoon?
Why would you say that?
You wouldn't want me to live the rest of my life...
while hurting my pride, do you?
Why would he hurt your pride? He's so fond of you.
You know what the girl's parents do when she marries a doctor, right?
I think...
he'll end up hurting our pride.
He didn't go to medical school to benefit from his in-laws.
Still, I think he'll hurt my pride.
Pride?
Didn't you see just me groveling to that young thing?
Mom.
- About me and Jung Hoon... - Hush.
I need to make calls to my friends.
Hey, it's me.
I thought you were going to visit.
Not that I'm asking you to buy bags for me.
What? You're boiling a dishrag?
All right. Let me call you...
See? She just hung up on me even before I finish.
I'd rather go about begging strangers.
Hi, Min Sook. It's me.
I saw you in my dreams yesterday.
So I'm just checking on you from concern.
How are things?
Aren't you going to pay me a visit though?
I see.
What are you doing?
House is a mess after your mom got busy.
I'll do it after I get changed.
Your mom groans in her sleep these days.
She's been struggling to improve...
her performance after being scouted as a store manager.
It's not easy to give results in her age, you know.
That doesn't mean you have to wipe the floor that you've never done.
And that poor-looking posture too.
As I get age,
I get more aware of your mother.
Since I've always been giving away to people,
I couldn't let your mom get hold...
of my monthly salary in full.
You were just looking out for people in need.
You don't have to be like this.
He was crouching and wiping the floor.
And I noticed he lost his hair a lot.
The middle of his head is empty.
I didn't realize my dad got that old.
Have you been waiting for my class to end?
We need to talk.
Jung Hoon.
I know it'd be hard...
but can't you change your mind?
If I'm the only one to give up to settle this matter,
believe me, I'd do that for you.
I really do.
I do admit that it is cheap to hold you back...
with the feelings you had for me as a child.
However,
you and I've lived only 20 years.
And 12 years out of 20 can...
be said to be more meaningful than being considered...
as just a childhood.
I just can't tell my mom and dad about us.
But let's be honest.
Have you not spend most of your time at our house...
and only got some sleep at your house?
You can't do this if you had given a thought about our parents.
I'm everything to them.
So please,
spare me just this once.
I beg of you.
Begging like this is out of your character.
I'll tell them.
What?
I will tell your parents about us.
Park Jung Hoon.
I suppose I could stay by your side to pay off my debts.
I'll tell them about us and ask if that is what you really need.
"To pay off your debts?"
I didn't know you were this cruel.
That prick!
Where are you?
Answer me!
A convenience store?
Stay where you are.
Don't you dare make a move.
I'll be there in ten.
Do you think you can be forgiven...
and do whatever if it was for your love?
Don't get worked up.
This is hard for me too.
Mr. Jung once told me that...
when Se Jin and Mr. Lee offered him to help...
raise me like their daughter, he said he was so relieved.
If it weren't for them, do you think...
Mr. Jung could've raised me well all alone?
And you want me to accept your love?
Do you expect me to accept the love of a boy...
who throws Da Jung away like trash?
Is your love so great?
Is it that sweet enough to make you insane?
I don't need such shameless love of yours!
This is making me go crazy, I know!
Do you think I was fine when I had to tell Da Jung like that?
My heart broke as I clenched my teeth and tell her those words.
But...
I decided not to put anything else in my head...
except the fact that I love you.
(A Good Supper)
Do you intend to make Da Jung look like a leftover?
How on earth could you say that to her?
Jung Hoon didn't even come home, but this time he got hit by Oh Bok.
I'm concerned that something is happening between them.
I'm telling you to keep an eye on Da Jung since it'll be...
hard for her to rely on Young Shin.
Can I trust you?
Of course.
If Gyung Soo's late parents see you up above,
I'm sure they'll be more disgusted than seeing an actual bug.
- You must've laughed at me inside. - Are you serious?
You know, sometimes you could be so hypocritical.
