(Episode 44)
You're Young Shin's friend I met at the Diner.
What brings you here?
Let's go somewhere and talk.
You and me?
I love Young Shin.
So?
I want to say that Young Shin isn't a girl you should treat carelessly.
I already know that.
Then I suppose you know what to do.
If that's what you're worried about, then stop worrying and go.
I'll leave it here since you're Young Shin's friend.
Get away from Young Shin.
What exactly do you want?
Did I butt in between you...
when you two were dating?
Or are you just mad?
I already said my piece.
I love Young Shin.
Really?
I love her too.
Is it settled, then?
Jung Hoon, what were you saying to him?
Why are you getting involved with a guy like him?
What does it matter to you?
Kim Young Shin, are you trying to make me really mad?
It already looks like you're mad.
Are you willing...
to ruin your life for Da Jung?
My life would be great if you would go away.
Did Da Jung finish work?
I told you to stop harassing Da Jung.
So, I'm here.
- Why were you just watching? - Watching what?
Do you really think Young Shin will marry into a conglomerate?
How should I know...
about the invincible Young Shin's life?
Da Jung, you really...
disappoint me.
I don't care.
Do you know why?
You were the one who disappointed me first.
I can't control who I love.
Clearly, you can.
You have such free control over it.
You like anyone if you think you need them.
If you don't need them, you cut them off.
You can't love.
How long are you going to keep bringing that up?
Okay, let's say you only did that in elementary school.
Is a middle schooler too young too?
Are middle schoolers these days that childish?
You were only close to me when you could learn from my father.
Then when we went to high school,
you didn't need my father or me anymore,
so you naturally fell out of love with me!
That's why you can control it.
Am I wrong?
Did you come here to meet Kang Jun Young?
What do you think of him?
Did you think he'd be like Oh Bok?
Kang Jun Young won't pay any mind to someone like you.
Get yourself together before something happens to you.
Was that guy at the Diner a student?
Who?
Park Jung Hoon or Jang Oh Bok?
The handsome one.
He's a medical student.
Medical student?
Why is a medical student so handsome and tall?
Who said medical students have to be ugly?
What's his history with Young Shin?
It's quite a shocking history.
Shocking?
They went to the same school from elementary to high school,
and they ate dinner together at the Diner since first grade.
Really?
That's a problem, then.
Why? Does he make you nervous?
Why are you talking to me so informally?
We started working here at the same time.
But I'm the heir. I'm also older than you.
All right, I'll let it go since you're Young Shin's friend.
I need at least someone on my side.
Can you be on my side?
What are you thinking about so seriously?
We need to send Jun Young to study abroad.
Study abroad?
Why didn't I think of this before?
He's that bad with our supervision. What'll he get himself into abroad?
No matter what he gets himself into, I can't have him dating Young Shin.
I see a powerful enemy was waiting for me.
We're sending you to study abroad.
With Kim Young Shin?
Great, send us really far away.
What does Young Shin have to do with this?
I don't want to go alone.
I'm going to tell your uncle and send you right away.
Try your best.
If I don't get on the plane, will you ship me in a box?
Why are you acting like this?
Do you think she's all that...
because she keeps rejecting you?
- Yes. - What?
Okay, fine.
Then you can date her for six months and then break up.
Mom, I love you.
Love?
What have you ever done to know you love her?
I have a crush on her!
- Don't you know about crushes? - What?
Girls go crazy for me when I tell them about my family.
If a girl holds out, she'll give in if I give her a necklace or a watch.
Meh, I've never had a chance to have a crush.
Now that I try it, it's so sweet and nice.
What about this is sweet?
Seriously!
- Why, you! - Geez.
We can't let Young Shin stay at the restaurant.
She ruined the working environment for other employees.
She's openly displaying affection in the kitchen.
Then send Jun Young to the cafe first.
Send Jun Young to the cafe?
Jun Young did nothing wrong!
Young Shin is the problem.
Do you think I don't know Jun Young?
I sent him to the kitchen so he could learn how to work.
What kind of behavior is that?
With the authority of the vice CEO acting as the interim CEO,
I will terminate Kim Young Shin.
Before you do that, you need to step down.
Do you think I promoted you to that position...
so you'd ignore your son's mistakes and fire a powerless employee?
- Jong Gwon. - If Kim Young Shin is gone,
who will take charge of the kitchen?
I was able to send my wife home because Young Shin is there.
If I hear that you've fired Young Shin,
I'm going to send Sook Jung straight back to the kitchen.
I made you a temporary vice CEO, and now you're abusing your power.
That's why I can't trust you, you punk!
Don't you think I'm too old for you to call me a punk?
Are you talking back to me?
Do you want to go back to parking lot duty?
If you ever don't want Young Shin around, just tell me.
I can go back to the kitchen as soon as tomorrow.
It looks like I won't be resting much longer before returning.
You should still send Young Shin away.
Then do you want me to step down as vice CEO? No!
Then do you want Young Shin to be your daughter-in-law?
Sure, that'd be better.
My friends are treating me differently now.
I can't step down.
What did you say?
Young Shin is a nice girl.
She has a nice impression, and she's good at cooking.
She'd be a perfect daughter-in-law for our family.
Oh, my. You're blind with your power as the vice CEO.
Yes.
What are you looking at?
I'm fascinated watching you work hard.
I want to do what it takes to get Uncle Jong Gwon's approval...
to take over the company.
Why? Because of Young Shin?
My rival is a medical student who's as handsome as a model.
You even have a rival?
I need to do whatever it takes to keep my place as the heir.
If I can't do that, I don't have anything to offer.
I'm not smart, and my dad is leeching off my uncle.
If he meets a girl he likes and things go well with her,
what else could we ask for?
I still don't like Young Shin!
This is why...
there are mothers who ruin their children's lives.
What's that?
Then, shall we fire her and bring back Sook Jung?
I can't do either way.
This means he had Young Shin to rely on to make me stay here.
In other words, doesn't this mean that I can go back...
to the restaurant if Young Shin is not there?
You're right.
Get out.
Come here and sit.
I said, get out!
Thank you for what you did last time.
We sure are related.
I didn't turn a blind eye because we're related.
Now that you know I'm your mother speak nicely.
I did it because I didn't want to get involved with you anymore.
Even if you don't want to, we're to be constantly involved.
That's your fate.
I told you to leave, Mrs. Choi.
Do me one more favor.
What?
I was...
dismissed from my post as the CEO because of Young Shin.
Tell Young Shin...
to resign from the restaurant.
Don't drag her into my life.
As soon as I gave birth to you,
your grandmother told me to give you up.
Your mom... No, the woman you believed to be your mom...
was keeping her place.
Your grandmother would've had no other way.
So, are you acting like a poor woman...
who's been forced to give her child away?
Even though I wanted to raise you, they wouldn't have let me!
Why did you give birth to me?
What?
What bad desires did you have to give birth...
to me in that situation?
What did you say?
If you didn't covet being the wife in that family,
how could you have given birth to a child under such circumstances?
Is your child just a means?
Did you just give birth to achieve your ulterior motive?
I mean, why did you give birth to me...
as you please and let things come to this, Mrs. Choi?
As soon as the restaurant was on fire,
you didn't even look back and ran for it, right?
Why didn't you take me with you when you ran for it?
My mom wasn't there as she had passed away.
I couldn't afford to take you!
What couldn't you afford?
Was it so you could go there, pretending to be a single woman,
and try to seduce the restaurant's CEO or his son?
You know I'm not the enemy who killed your parents,
so watch your tongue now!
Do you raise a child if you can afford it...
and abandon him if you can't?
So, stop talking nonsense and get out of here quietly.
Get out quietly...
and never show up in front of me again.
I couldn't...
live without seeing you since things came to this.
No.
You can live without seeing me.
I just have to tell President Kang that I'm your son...
and put you in a difficult situation again.
Then you'll pretend...
you don't know me again as you can't afford to.
Don't say it like that. I'm your mother.
So...
don't you ever show up...
in front of me again.
His eyes are scarier than when he knew me...
as the enemy who killed his parents.
It's probably because he's full of resentment.
I can't be stuck in the house like this.
I can't see the company being handed over to Jun Young.
Why did you wear this ridiculous jacket?
I have to wear this.
Wear this one. This is better.
I have to wear this!
It doesn't suit you. Why are you stubborn?
Pil Sun said I look cool in this.
Really?
Does it look good to young people?
Okay then. Wear that.
Do you have your wallet?
I do!
If you eat anything, run quickly, and pay for it first.
All right.
What socks did you wear?
You could go to a restaurant where you take off your shoes.
Did you choose a clean one?
I got new socks on.
Have fun.
Okay.
Right. Off you go.
He went off to see a woman for the first time in his life.
I was sad to see him go with slouched shoulders.
He'll do just fine.
It makes me think that he was born like that...
as I didn't eat properly when I had him.
That's absurd!
I was exhausted from working for other households.
So, I didn't eat properly as I had no appetite.
I'm sure that's not the reason.
People say it's not,
but that's not how I see it as his mother.
I feel...
like it's all my fault.
Yong Goo lived so kindly,
so the deity will help him.
Young Shin. Here's the rabbit.
Shall we pray for the rabbit to grow fast?
Sounds good!
On Christmas, the pastor prayed:
"Let no one have pity on us."
"May only the Lord have pity on us."
You remember that?
I remember too.
That made me feel sad for some reason.
When did he say that?
I don't even remember hearing those words...
because I only wanted his prayer to end quickly.
Se Jin. What does it mean?
I don't know, either.
I don't go to church.
What if you don't know what it means? We can just say it.
Right. Let's pray.
Let no one have pity on us.
May only the Lord have pity on us.
Help the rabbit grow up fast.
Let no one have pity on Yong Goo.
May only you have pity on him.
Why are you walking so far away?
It feels...
like people are staring at me.
I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable.
Gosh. There's nothing to be uncomfortable about.
Tell them to stare!
I think they're staring more because of this jacket.
To be honest, that jacket...
doesn't suit your age.
You should've told me earlier.
I didn't tell you in case you were embarrassed.
I should've told you sooner.
Let's go.
Still, these pants suit that jacket.
That one over there...
You want to buy a jacket too?
I brought a lot of money.
Okay then. Take off that jacket and buy a new one.
I'll pick another pair of pants.
Let me see.
You look so much better dressed like this.
I like this. What about you? Do you like it?
Then, wear this home.
How much is it?
It's 150 dollars.
One, two, three, four,
- Are you buying in cash? - five.
Six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four.
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen.
Fifteen.
Would you like an extra pair of socks?
That's all right.
I wouldn't want to do that.
No worries. I don't sell at a loss.
Here. Please take this.
Thank you.
I hope your business does well.
Thank you.
Thank you for shopping here.
I hope it looks pretty on you.
But I'm a guy.
Oh, right.
I hope you look handsome in them. Please stop by again.
Okay.
Let's get going.
Where do we go now?
We should go home.
You're going home?
We should since we bought everything. Where else do we go?
Would you like to...
Pardon?
Would you like to...
Would I like to take the bus?
Why would we take the bus when we can walk?
I know.
We'll just walk then.
I hope your mother likes these clothes.
Let's go.
Why are you back so soon?
We just got back.
Didn't you have lunch together?
It's wasn't lunchtime.
You could've had some coffee.
I guess you bought a jacket and pants.
You look your age and like a whole new person.
She has an eye for clothes.
She dressed him up nicely.
But he came right back after buying his clothes.
You should've had some tea at least.
I guess you forgot what I told you.
She only accompanied me to the clothing shop.
That's how things start.
If she didn't feel anything for you,
why would she care what you are dressed in?
I think I went ahead of myself.
I thought he hit a stroke of luck.
We never know how relationships will turn out.
You don't want to get your hopes up but don't feel discouraged either.
Even if things don't work out between you two,
it's meaningful in itself to meet someone.
It could help him find someone who's good for him.
I should see her for myself.
I'd know when I see her.
And what would you know?
I'll get an idea when I see her.
Whether things will work out for them,
or if my innocent uncle will end up getting hurt.
- Hello. - Yes, hello.
- Are you here to buy a hairpin? - Yes.
Is it for your wife?
I don't have a wife.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You don't have to be.
It wouldn't show if I have a wife or not.
- Is it for your daughter? - Yes.
How about this one?
It's popular among young ladies. Here.
How does it look?
That looks nice.
Can I have that? How much is it?
It's three dollars.
I'll put it in a bag for you.
That's okay.
I usually pack it in a plastic bag,
but it's a present for your daughter,
so I'll put it in a bag.
I only paid three dollars.
Anyway, thank you.
- Here you are. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Thanks a lot.
- Are you here to buy a hairpin? - Yes.
It's for my daughter.
Oh, my. There must be many cools dads in this town.
Everybody turned up.
They're worried that I might get hurt. That's why.
When he speaks nonchalantly like that,
isn't he the same as anyone?
You're coming here as if it were your home.
Here's what we can do.
First, make Young Shin leave the restaurant.
You're saying that again.
When Seo Min Gyung moves into high gear, she'll get rid of me.
If President Kang divorces me, I'll be left with little money.
That has nothing to do with me.
The one who has the restaurant will take over the company.
I said it doesn't concern me.
If I make it through this and take ownership of the company,
I will pass it down to you.
What?
You're my son. Who else would I give it to?
Why would I inherit the business when I'm not the heir?
Because you're my son.
Do you even hear yourself?
That's just like stealing.
Why would that be stealing?
I am the wife in that family, and you're my son.
I'm glad you mentioned that.
If you're so sure about calling me your son,
why don't you tell President Kang right now that I am your son?
Why would you be so stubborn when I'm showing you the way?
Do I have to go there and say it myself for you to keep it shut?
No matter how you try to escape it, you are destined to be my son.
Mr. Jung.
I'm not sure what I just heard.
(A Good Supper)
I managed to make Sook Jung stay at home,
and now what's this?
I wonder how my husband...
trusts Young Shin so much when he hasn't even seen her?
Sorry? How can this happen?
Did this really happen?
Things must be going right at the restaurant.
It's not like Young Shin is your daughter.
Why would you be so happy for her?
I feel suffocated because of Young Shin.
Even if things become harder for Jung Hoon,
will you keep away from him for Da Jung's sake?
If it weren't for Gyung Soo, you wouldn't be who you are today.
Can't you do that much when I'm his mother?
