(Episode 83)
What are you doing still sitting there?
Jong Gwon is being discharged from the hospital today.
I need to be here because he's being discharged.
It could be dangerous if he sees you and gets shocked again.
Hurry up and leave this house.
Why would I leave my home?
How can you look at me as if nothing has happened?
You were so insistent that Jung Gyung Soo wasn't your son.
Did you forget about denying it adamantly?
Back then, you insisted that the old lady who died...
in the motorcycle accident mistook you for someone else.
What's the matter? Go ahead and insist as you did then.
When I told you to get a DNA test with Gyung Soo, you slapped me and yelled.
I'll make sure you're kicked out without a cent, so be ready for that.
Well, I guess you won't need my interference.
Jong Gwon will take care of it himself.
Just go to a hotel for now.
He just got discharged. What if he deteriorates again?
I see you have something else you want to say.
Are you worried that he'll deteriorate?
Be quiet.
They'll hear you from the second floor.
I won't leave on my own.
I can't leave.
I'm not going to take one step outside this house.
He's arrived.
I heard you were being discharged, so I didn't go to work and waited for you.
Why are you still in this house?
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me just this once.
I was going to tell you that Gyung Soo is my son,
but I was too afraid to tell you.
- Afraid? - I was scared I'd lose you if I told you.
I wanted to do everything I could to hold onto you.
Let's go.
Please forgive me just this once.
I did it because I love you.
You know I've loved you all these years.
You know I waited for you for so long until we got married.
Send this woman out of my house.
Honey.
He needs to be in a stable condition. What are you doing?
Get out of the way.
- Honey. - Talk to him later.
What do you think you're doing, upsetting him after he was discharged?
What are you going to do if he gets worse again?
Honey, please forgive me just this once.
Be quiet. Let's go in.
Don't you care...
what happens with the company?
Won't you lose all your investments if I give the recipes to a competitor?
If I hand over all the restaurant's recipes...
to a competing restaurant, would you care?
What?
I worked for that restaurant for 30 long years.
I could ruin the restaurant in a snap if I wanted to.
You should treat me with respect after I worked there for so long.
How could you try to shoo me away like a dog...
so haughtily?
Secretary Kim, are you still there?
What about Secretary Park?
Bring him here.
Drag this woman out of here.
I can't stand to hear her. Drag her out right now!
Let go.
Honey. Let go.
Honey.
- What are you doing? Get rid of her. - Let go of me!
No, let go.
Honey.
Let's go in.
So, she's finally been kicked out of the family.
Finally.
Let go!
- Let go! - Excuse me.
Go ahead inside.
- Let's go to my car first. - I'm not going anywhere.
Why would I leave my home?
What are you going to do in there, now?
Get out of the way.
Were you waiting so you could see me again?
It's all over, now.
Get out of the way.
I still have something to tell him.
He said he wouldn't listen to you.
He said you were too loud and to drag you out.
This was always where you belonged.
How dare such a crude woman come into another family...
and petulantly play tricks on us?
What?
A crude woman?
You should try kneeling and begging in front of me.
I might let you see his face.
Get out of my way.
Get out of my way if you don't want to die.
You sent my son away to the cafe,
and then you made my husband work as a driver.
Then, did you get so excited about snatching the president position?
Do you think the world bows to you?
How are you any different from me?
What?
This family's assets are Jong Gwon's, not Jong Woo's.
Neither Jun Young nor my son is Jong Gwon's son,
so, if you look at it that way, aren't you as brazen as I?
Jun Young has this family's blood.
Jung Gyung Soo has mine.
My husband's assets are my assets as well,
so is wanting to pass my assets to my son such a crime?
Remember this. If I'm punished, you'll be punished too.
- What? - Don't forget you're Jong Woo's wife.
I won't go down alone.
Even if I die, I'll take you with me.
Look at her.
Look at her being spiteful until the very end.
- Mr. Jung. - You're here.
Mrs. Choi left the house.
I was thinking of it since President Kang was being discharged.
She refused to leave, so President Kang ordered his assistant to drag her out.
She was kicked out in bare feet.
Why aren't you saying anything?
I don't know.
I don't want to say anything.
I'll take care of dinner, so you should go in and rest.
No, it's fine.
If I don't do anything, it'll be hard to keep my mind off things.
She should've just left quietly.
Why would she want to be chased out barefoot?
I see.
Mr. Jung looked heartbroken.
That Choi Sook Jung woman is quite spiteful.
It would've been okay if she'd stopped, but she kept going.
It's like they shoved her from the train so nobody else would be hurt.
Exactly.
Gyung Soo will have to see her like that, wounded from falling out of the train.
You're probably right.
She's his mother, not a stranger, so he can't just ignore her.
It'll be hard for Gyung Soo from now on.
I'm here. Were you waiting for me?
Why did you come here?
Where else would I go?
You heard me that day.
I lost a million dollars from my account,
and now, I don't have enough money to buy a house.
A hotel?
Why would I waste all my money staying at a hotel?
So, are you saying you'll live with me?
Don't worry. I'll earn my keep.
All I know how to do is cook.
Were you worried I'd expect to be fed for free at the Diner?
This must be Young Shin's room.
I'll use this room starting today.
What do you think you're doing?
How can you and I live in the same house?
Why can't we? We're mother and son.
What's weird about a mother and her son living together?
You and Young Shin living together is weirder.
Tell me when dinner is ready.
I'll get some rest in the room.
Gyung Soo, why the long face?
It's nothing. Keep eating.
The galchijorim is good today.
The radish is so sweet.
You should've told me when dinner was ready.
I was so hungry. Were you going to starve me?
You can keep eating.
I recognize all of you.
That's good. I don't need to introduce myself.
I'll live with Gyung Soo from now on.
I'm his mother, Choi Sook Jung.
You still have a lot to learn.
You can't cook radish this soft.
I'll make you a meal starting tomorrow.
You'll love it.
I have 30 years of experience working at the best Korean restaurant.
What are you doing? Get me a bowl of rice.
You won't even give me rice?
I should eat this one instead.
It's just what my son was eating.
Why are you staring at me like I'm a monkey at a zoo?
Get back to eating.
I'm sorry.
What's going on?
What did I just see?
I can't believe my eyes either.
I'm worried about how Gyung Soo will live with her.
She was eating as if nothing happened.
I heard President Kang was discharged. I guess that's why she left home.
She got kicked out, so she came to take it out on him.
Oh Bok, she's still his mother.
You should watch your words.
Okay, Mr. Lee.
She looks intimidating.
Why do you think she came here?
We'll find out soon.
Can we just leave him alone like this?
They're still mother and son.
They should face each other even if they have issues.
Let's not make a fuss and stay quiet for a while.
Let's go.
All you have to do is to boil it. It's convenient.
It's delicious. It's not that bad.
It'd be useful when I'm in a hurry.
- I'll set the table. - Okay.
Did she come to live with her son?
I don't think so.
Maybe, she needs to ask Young Shin a favor again.
No one can explain how parent-child relationships work.
It's unbelievable.
Who are you?
Who are you, then?
Are you here to eat? Then, have a seat.
I can serve you a home-style meal, right?
You're here, Jung Hoon.
Is she...
Mrs. Choi?
Yes.
I thought Young Shin was supposed to come today.
She came this morning but left early.
I beg you.
Please leave Young Shin out of your complicated life.
I'm worried about how Young Shin's life will go...
at this rate.
What do you want?
I want to live a long, healthy life with my son. Why?
Why are you doing this?
Didn't you see it coming? I told you many times.
I told you I'd come to live here when I get kicked out of my house.
- How can we live together? - Why can't we?
Are you worried Young Shin can't come back to this house because of me?
Don't worry. Get married to her. I'll approve of it.
Let me lead a happy life with my son and my daughter-in-law.
Say something.
Why don't you all say anything?
It feels empty for some reason.
Why does it feel empty?
There were times when only you, me, Jong Gwon, and Jun Young lived together.
Jong Gwon, Sook Jung won't come to work at the restaurant anymore.
Chef Choi wouldn't come in either.
Let's take time to think about it.
Young Shin should be in charge of the kitchen, don't you think so?
I should be taking care of President Kang.
We can't leave the kitchen empty.
His well-being comes first.
It's okay. The restaurant matters more.
Take charge of the kitchen at the restaurant.
What about the CEO position?
Would you take that position?
Thank you, Jong Gwon.
What about Jun Young?
I'll stay at the cafe.
He can't even talk freely yet.
Why can't we discuss it later?
When he was at the hospital,
Sung Chan didn't come to work, so the restaurant was closed for a few days.
What if customers stop coming, thinking it's permanently closed?
You can't say that when you don't know what's going on.
Okay, then. First of all,
Young Shin and you should take charge of the restaurant.
Help me here.
Why did you rush to take the position?
With Sook Jung gone, everything's fantastic.
Finally, I became the CEO of Royal Palace.
I only feel sorry for Jong Gwon.
You should be at the counter.
You like being a cashier than a CEO.
I'll put you in charge of the books of ingredient costs.
I'm giving you a bonus because you've been working hard.
What?
Our days are back again.
Now that Jong Gwon is in poor health, he's only a figurehead now.
I'm the CEO, so there's nothing to worry about.
I am the CEO!
I still can't believe this happened to me.
- I look forward to working with you. - Yes, ma'am.
(CEO Seo Min Gyung)
This is what it feels like.
It feels amazing.
CEO Seo Min Gyung.
This is the only way I can control Young Shin.
What do you mean control her?
Without you, me, or Young Shin,
it'll take less than a month before the restaurant closes.
Do you still have regrets about that family?
Did you come here so you can use Young Shin...
to make the restaurant go out of business?
You don't know what kind of man Jong Gwon is.
He will even risk his life if it's for that Korean restaurant.
I have to go back to the restaurant even if he divorces me.
Then I'll certainly get another chance.
Pil Sun.
Her mother gave her permission to sell in the market.
Is this true?
I'm so grateful.
Now I can do business here comfortably,
eat out together,
and let's go on dates on our days off, okay?
It feels like a dream.
Is it?
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Who is this lady?
Oh, yes.
I'm his mom.
I see your mother is alive.
Did you enjoy your meal?
We enjoyed it. See you again.
Goodbye.
All the customers for lunch should have left by now,
so it must be quiet.
Would you please go in?
What will I do stuck in a room?
It's suffocating.
Hello, Yong Goo. Are you here for lunch?
You came together.
Are you coming to the market now?
Yes.
Have a seat. Can I get you two home-style meals?
Who is she?
I'm Gyung Soo's mom.
I find him odd the more I see him.
Are you that fierce old lady's son?
Your mother grabbed my hair back then.
I'm sorry.
She must be your girlfriend.
You do everything we do.
What did you just say back there?
What's wrong? Isn't she the girlfriend?
What do you mean he does everything?
That way, his mother will come and pull my hair out again.
Why are you acting despicably?
Despicable?
You said I was an insect.
I'm acting despicably, being an insect.
What's wrong with that?
Mrs. Choi Sook Jung!
You can't win against me.
Do you think you can win against an older woman like me?
You can't win against people who's gotten older.
You don't know my true colors as you only saw me dressed up...
at the restaurant.
You should look forward to it. I'll show you.
How was your meal?
- We enjoyed it. - Thank you.
- Welcome. Please come again.
Thank you.
Hello.
- Was it Room Magnolia? Okay. - Yes.
That'll be 67 dollars.
(CEO Seo Min Gyung)
Jong Gwon, we got off work.
Was the new caregiver nice to you?
It must've been tedious for him.
We'll fix you a meal soon.
No, don't bother.
I want to get more sleep.
But you should have your meal.
I'll have it later.
Don't worry about me and eat your dinner.
It feels like Jong Gwon became an old man in just days.
You know how with old couples when one of them passes away first,
the other one soon becomes old.
I guess this is exactly like that.
Yes.
Is that so?
I see. Okay.
Who was that?
It's the detective agency that I asked to look into Kim Ji Sun.
Now Jong Gwon has Manager Oh to look into it.
So, why did this man call you?
After Kim Ji Sun's death, her daughter lived with her grandmother.
He seems to have found out what happened after her grandmother passed away.
Really?
Don't talk about this to Jong Gwon.
What?
Choi Sook Jung got kicked out.
What good would it do if Jong Gwon's real daughter showed up?
Honey.
If Jong Gwon passes away after being sick like that,
all the fortune will be yours as his brother.
Don't you agree?
Honey.
If Jong Gwon's daughter comes along in this situation,
what good will that do Jun Young?
What?
Why would you look at me like that?
Are you saying I'm showing my true colors after quieting down for a while?
Right. These are my true colors.
I take a different approach to survive each time.
(A Good Supper)
Did something happen at the Diner yesterday?
- Why this woman! - Please stop.
You should stay with your parents and get married.
What are you doing here?
I'm cooking with my son.
I'll be a burden to you from now on.
I'm luggage that you can't throw away.
That's nonsense!
Parents can do something worse if it's for their children.
Keep your mouth shut.
How is President Kang doing?
It's not a big secret.
Can you give it some time?
Can you wait for Young Shin a little longer?
We can go back to the peaceful old days.
I'll make sure we do.
