(Episode 18)
J and C...
Jaemin and Chaeri...
Right.
I can't be Shin Jaemin.
Goodbye.
Chaeri,
I don't even know where to begin.
How would I begin to ask for your forgiveness?
Chaeri,
I'm not a doctor,
and I'm not Shin Jaemin.
It started out as a joke, but
before I knew it, it was so much more than that.
and I started wishing it wasn't a joke.
I kept telling myself,
I'll tell her today or "I'll tell her tomorrow."
But I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
I was riddled with guilt
deceiving you, watching you be
deceived by me, yet
I couldn't bring myself to tell you.
I was afraid
you'd leave me if I told you.
I was afraid of losing you.
And if you left me...
If you were gone,
I didn't think I could go on.
Because
I love you too much...
Hyeongsun...
How could I make up
for what I did to you?
I'm a bastard,
so don't ever forgive me.
But in spite of it all...
In spite of all that,
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Who's there?
Who...
I'm here to see Hyeongsun.
Oh, you're...
Hyeongsun's girlfriend...
I think Hyeongsun went out.
Hyeongsun...
Where is he?
Ms. Seon,
do you have a stalker?
Did you take legal actions?
When you report a stalker to the police...
No, it's nothing like that.
I'm sure they made a mistake...
You said you knew who did this.
That was...
Ms. Seon,
you can't resolve something like this alone.
You must call the police first...
No! I can't call the police.
It's nothing. Really...
I'm very sorry I made you come all the way here.
I'm fine now.
You can go home.
I really am fine.
Thank you so much.
Are you sure you'll be okay?
Yes.
You won't be scared to stay here alone?
Is there anywhere you can go?
No.
I'm not scared. This is my home.
It's really late.
You should go, Mr. Lee.
Then,
if anything happens, call me right away.
I will.
Make sure you...
Lock the door.
Okay.
You should go.
Goodbye.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Your call is being forwarded to...
He won't pick up.
Maybe he left his phone at home.
Well...
It's late, so I think you should go home.
I'll tell Hyeongsun you were here.
No, I'm not going home.
I can't go home until I see Hyeongsun.
But...
Chae-Chaeri?
- Father. - Father?
Do you need to buy something?
What?
Umm...
Who is it?
It's me, Ms. Seon.
You didn't go home?
How could you get me fruit at a time like this?
Still,
you're a guest.
I was beside myself earlier.
So your family is coming home tomorrow?
Yes.
They went to Daejeon for my uncle's birthday.
Then, Ms. Seon,
choose one of the 3 following options.
I stay here with you until tomorrow morning.
We go to my car and stay there until the morning.
Or we go to our office and stay there.
All of them involve being with you.
Yes.
As
your boss,
it's my responsibility to protect you tonight.
But I'm fine...
- Please choose. - What?
The office is a bad choice.
It smells like sewage at night.
And
your car wouldn't be a good option.
Both places would be too uncomfortable for you.
Mr. Lee, I'm fine, really.
You must be tired so go home.
So you're going with the first choice.
Good. Let's do that.
No! I didn't mean it like that.
There's high chance of recurrence
if the culprit is an acquaintance.
You don't want to call the police,
so I have no choice but to stay here.
I will
work here,
so you can get some rest in your room.
You're going to stay here?
Is there a problem with that?
You don't trust me?
I do!
I do trust you...
I trust you.
If I get sleepy, I'll just go to sleep here,
so don't worry about me
and go to bed.
Is there anything else you want to say?
No.
I don't.
Have some apples.
It's sweet, isn't it?
Thank you. Come again.
Hoonjae,
why don't you go home?
I'll look after Chaeri.
Hyeongsun will walk past this store.
But...
You have to go to work tomorrow.
Go home.
Please go home.
I feel so awful about making you stay here.
You do?
Then, I'll go home.
Father, I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
Well...
Don't tell Sanok I work here.
I won't.
Goodnight.
Would you like something to eat?
Do you like fish cake soup?
I'm finished, Ms. Hwang.
Oh?
You are.
Good work, Jinae.
I'm sorry.
I should've done better the first time around.
It's not your fault.
The material was wrong to begin with.
We got it done quickly working together, didn't we?
We did.
Now, that we're all finished,
let's celebrate.
Okay.
It's so nice to have a glass of wine with you.
Wait...
It's not right for me to enjoy it too much.
After all, you ran away from home.
Don't say that.
It's so great to be here with you.
Sounds like you're brown-nosing, if you ask me.
I mean it.
I'm happy things worked out with your boyfriend,
but what will you do about your mom?
There's a poem I like called "Lover,"
and one of the lines goes like this.
In life, there are endless paths to follow
And when your paths diverge
Your lives as one will never be.
Those lines hit me harder the older I get.
Once you break up with the man you love,
it's extremely hard to run into him again.
And even when you do,
everything has changed already.
Oh...
I don't know what's gotten into me...
I didn't want you to see me like this.
You're fine.
I'm touched that you decided
to share this with me.
I feel like we've gotten closer.
Right?
Maybe we were mother and daughter in another life.
Maybe we really were.
Cheers.
You've been working till this hour?
No, we finished and had a glass of wine.
How could you leave me out?
Where will Jinae sleep?
Right.
Clean the guest room.
That'll take too long.
There's so much stuff in there.
What about your son's room?
It has a huge bed.
But...
Should we?
It's okay.
I couldn't sleep in your son's room.
Go ahead.
It'll take too long to clean the guest room.
I'll give you something to wear to bed.
Yeah.
You should do that.
Okay...
Nice.
He has similar tastes as Mr. Kang.
Are you finished? (Mr. Kang)
Jinae. Did I text too late?
Not at all.
I just finished, and I'm going to bed.
In Ms. Hwang's son's room.
What? My...
What?
Nothing.
How is the room?
It's really nice.
It's big and neat.
This is odd.
What do you mean?
Something feels familiar.
The scent seems so familiar.
Really?
Oh,
how is my mom doing?
She was upset,
and I think she's sleeping right now.
Come home tomorrow and apologize to her.
Okay?
Huh?
Where's your answer?
You're not here,
so I feel like I'm a hostage.
Don't you feel sorry for me?
I'm so upset...
Hoonjae,
are you crying?
Mr. Kang?
If you whistle for me, I might feel better.
Or you can sing for me.
Stop playing.
Where did he go?
Mr. Lee?
Mr. Lee...
He looks angry even in his sleep.
Leave them. I'll do it.
It's okay.
I'm sure you were really
hurt by what Hyeongsun did.
Hyeongsun seemed awfully miserable, too.
I've never seen him
so tormented ever before.
When he couldn't tell you the truth,
he kept saying he'd soon be struck by lightning.
He kept torturing himself.
For whatever it's worth,
from a man's point of view,
Hyeongsun is a really great guy.
He didn't go to a good college,
and he doesn't have a good job,
but you can't judge a man by that.
What kind of person you are inside is important.
Hyeongsun is kind
although he pretends not to be.
Right.
You really know Hyeongsun well.
Hyeongsun...
What are you waiting for?
Go after him.
Mr. Lee Hyeongsun!
Hey...
What are you doing here?
Where have you been until now?
It's so cold at night these days.
Are you crazy?
What if you get sick again?
Hyeongsun...
Why didn't you tell me?
That you did it because you love me!
That you couldn't tell me because I might leave!
Why didn't you tell me?
Chaeri...
I'm sorry, Hyeongsun...
I had no idea.
I was so cold to you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry...
Mother.
Your precious only son, Lee Dongchul,
will surely fall ill at this rate.
What do we do?
So she didn't come home last night?
Why that little...
Huh?
Why...
He didn't come home, either?
Huh?
Hyeongsun, too?
Wait,
those are Mr. Jiffy's shoes...
- These... - Oh, my!
You scared me!
I'm sorry.
Did you sleep well?
Where's Hyeongsun?
Hyeongsun?
He didn't come home?
Why that little!
Mom, what is it?
Huh?
You were asleep?
Yeah...
Well, I thought...
You didn't come home last night, either.
Hyeongkyu isn't in his room.
Hyeongkyu didn't come home last night?
I don't know!
Maybe he came home late and went out early.
This is all your sister's fault.
She caused such a ruckus and just left,
and I got so distracted
that I didn't even look into your brother.
Want me to call him?
No.
You might wake him.
Something probably came up at work.
Your brother is a lawyer, after all.
You only care about him.
Did Jinae really go to her boss' house or not?
She really went there.
I talked to her on the phone last night.
I'll do that, mother.
It's okay.
I'll do it.
Wait,
it's not even 6 yet! Why are you up so early?
It's okay. I'll do that.
It's okay.
I'll rinse them.
- Mr. Jiffy. - Yes?
This won't change my mind.
So don't waste your time like this.
Just stick to being a good tenant, okay?
Leave so I can work.
Okay...
Hoonjae,
what are you doing up so early?
Well...
But...
- Oh? - Well...
By the way...
Sanok isn't up yet, is she?
Sanok is up already.
What do you want from me?
Where do you go in the middle of the night?
Well, I...
I've started...
A new routine of early morning jogging.
Mom knows, dad.
What?
Oh...
You cover your face up with a blanket
and believe nobody sees you.
When we can see your bottom.
How long have you known?
I told you.
I'm omniscient. I know everything.
I'm stopping by the sauna on my way to the office.
I'm working on a portfolio to apply for a corporate
legal team, so you can...
Mr. Lee!
Have some breakfast before you go.
I didn't have time to get serving plates...
Just, just sit down and have some.
Mr. Lee, sit down.
It's okay.
Mr. Lee...
Stay for breakfast.
You stayed with me here all night, so
I'd feel awful if you left without having breakfast.
Come on. Please?
Come sit down.
Try it. Hurry up.
I had to hurry up, so I made egg soup.
I'm not sure if you'll like it.
Try it.
Okay...
It's not good?
I'm not a good cook, so...
And my mom's not a good cook, either...
It's the thought that counts, so...
Why won't this open?
Hyeju!
- Mom? - Hyeju!
Why did you change the door code?
Oh, my...
Who is this?
Mr. Chocolate Bun?
Hello.
Hi.
Oh, my... Did you...
Mom!
He came here on urgent business,
and I was so grateful that I made him breakfast.
Wait...
Isn't he Sanok's son?
I think he is.
Oh, my.
I saw him when he was in college.
Oh, my.
Hello, I am Lee Hyeongkyu.
Yes, Hyeongkyu.
It is him.
Oh, my...
Last night, there was...
Mom, what are you doing back so early?
You said you'd be back this afternoon.
What?
I was up worrying about you last night.
Because of that jerk.
So I just got up and came home.
Was everything okay?
What?
Yeah...
Wow, you were using my tray.
Doesn't the tray make everything yummy?
My mo...
There's something on your chin.
My aunt is a great cook.
She is?
I'll see you again.
Yes.
Thank you.
For looking after Hyeju.
Don't mention it.
It was my duty as her boss.
I'll see you later, Mr. Lee.
Mr. Chocolate Bun, bye.
Bye.
I need to use the bathroom.
Come and sit down.
Hyeju.
What happened last night?
He was here, wasn't he?
Did he take anything?
No, he just made a mess.
Maybe he found out
we donated his presents to the women's society.
Oh, no.
Maybe that's why he did it.
So how did he get in?
I think he just opened the door.
Really?
Why did you use San's birthday as the code?
So that's why you changed the door code.
Yeah.
I changed it last night.
What do we do, Hyeju?
Let's move.
We don't have that kind of money.
That darn money...
Wait,
what if he comes to my cafe?
He won't.
What he's after is...
Me.
Be careful, okay?
Okay.
Mom, I should get ready for work.
Okay.
My...
Why'd she have to get a job
at Sanok's son's office, of all places?
Should I tell her or not?
But he came all the way here.
Maybe...
Oh, my!
You're up early.
Good morning!
I hope you didn't find the bed uncomfortable.
Not at all. I slept like a baby.
You seem way too happy for a runaway.
You should apologize to your mother tonight.
I will.
- Good morning. - Hey.
Aunt, did you sleep well?
Thank you for these clothes.
Oh?
I didn't know that could look so baggy!
I think you need a daughter-in-law.
Jinae lights up the whole kitchen.
She does, doesn't she?
You haven't met your son's girlfriend yet?
No.
For some unknown reason,
he won't even talk about her.
Oh, no.
You must be hurt.
Well, I think I can handle it for now.
I had them send me some clothes.
But I can wear what I wore yesterday.
Wear this.
I wanted to buy you an outfit anyway.
Thank you, Ms. Hwang.
Why don't you make Jinae your daughter-in-law?
I wish I could.
But she already has a boyfriend.
You're not cold?
No, I'm not cold at all.
What?
You forgot your socks?
You're right.
You didn't even notice?
I was in a hurry.
Let me see your feet.
It's okay.
Let me see them.
My mom said
women must keep their feet warm.
See? They are freezing.
I'll warm them up for you.
That tickles.
Even your feet are pretty.
Hyeongsun.
Yes?
Let's not break up, ever.
Are you...
Sure?
I'm not a doctor
and I don't have rich parents.
I'm your father's chauffeur.
I don't care about stuff like that.
But I'm the jerk who lied to you.
I know you had no choice.
Still...
I know for sure now.
Nothing in the world could be
more painful than life without you.
I feel the same way.
It's been
hell for me.
Let's not break up. Not ever.
Okay.
We won't ever break up.
Now, that I'm back in love,
my skin is glowing.
What's going on?
You seem to be feeling really happy today.
Granny!
I'm so, so happy.
Oh!
Hyeong...
Hello.
Welcome, Mr. Lee.
My son's leaving early for a breakfast meeting?
Yes.
- Just a minute. - Yes, ma'am.
Excuse me!
I smell something burning!
Hyeongsun!
Chaeri,
you shouldn't do this.
Why not? I'm so happy to see you.
But we saw each other a few hours ago.
Are you all right? You didn't catch a cold?
I feel so full of energy.
Hyeongsun!
Hyeongsun, are you here?
Dad!
My, you seem to be chipper this morning.
Right?
I don't know what happened last night,
but she's all smiles.
Oh,
you made me so worried last few days
because you were under the weather.
I'm sorry, dad.
So you made up with Jaemin?
What?
Don't get into fights.
A man like Jaemin is hard to find.
Hyeongsun, you're his friend, so you must know.
- I'm right, am I not? - Excuse me?
Yes...
Let's go.
I'll see you later.
Okay. Have a nice day.
Thank you.
Oh?
JInae, did you buy new clothes?
Oh?
This is...
From our company's most recent line!
We started selling this yesterday.
When did you buy this?
Well... I didn't buy it.
Was it...
Ms. Hwang? I'm right, yes?
It just sort of worked out that way.
This is so unfair.
Jinae,
what's your secret for winning her over?
Tell me.
I don't have any secrets.
Here.
Tada!
HuH?
H and C?
Hyeongsun and Chaeri!
I finally got it right.
What?
When did you get it changed?
That's the most important thing we have.
Here.
Lee Hyeongsun and Jang Chaeri
will pledge our love for each other.
There's no need for that.
Why not?
When we first got rings, we didn't do this.
I was actually really sad about it.
Okay, then.
Here.
Jang Chaeri,
I love you.
Let's not break up, ever.
Hyeongsun,
I love you, too.
It's been so long.
I was really miserable.
Me too.
Just a second.
It's Mr. Oh.
Hello, Mr. Oh.
Right now?
Yes, sir. I'll be right there.
Your father wants me.
I hate my dad.
Don't be like that.
It's my job.
Bye.
Hyeongsun, wait!
Kiss please!
- I'll call you. - Okay.
Hyeongsun,
drive safely.
How sad.
We can't be together when we want to.
Really?
So Chaeri has someone else?
Yes.
And she was sick because of him?
That's right.
So who is that man?
Do you know him?
I'm really not at liberty to say...
So you do know him.
Who is it?
Someone from your hospital?
Mr. Jang.
I have to go back to the hospital.
You do?
Thank you for your time.
Goodbye.
Yes, sir.
I'll see you again.
Bye.
Do you...
Excuse me?
When you drove for Chaeri the other day,
did you see her meeting a man?
Who is she seeing these days?
Let's go.
Yes, sir.
You have to eat well.
You can't get discouraged...
Well,
Mr. Lee said
he'll try to find a way
so you can win.
So try to relax and give us some time.
Ms. Seon,
why won't you listen to me?
I told you I can't take this case.
Well...
From what I know,
her husband transferred his assets to a third party
to avoid having to split the assets with his wife.
And in that case, she can file for a civil suit
to revoke fraudulent act and request a division.
Have you heard of the saying
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing?
Yes.
I'm glad you're learning,
but you can't try to fit the little knowledge you
got from reading a book into a real case.
It's not as simple as that.
Isn't a good lawyer someone who finds a solution
to a difficult problem?
You are a good lawyer.
You may go home now.
But I'm going to study some more.
Suit yourself.
I can't believe
she didn't call me after leaving like that.
How heartless of her.
But I don't really like this.
How about this one?
No thanks.
This color looks better on her.
It looks good on you.
I spent so much money
buying something she'd never wear.
Why did it get dusty when it was in the closet?
Mom, you're being too harsh!
Did Hoonjae commit treason? Are we sworn enemies?
How could you say that in front of him?
When you become a mom,
you'll understand how I feel.
Miss Runaway! You're back?
You scared me.
What else could I do?
You told me to come home.
So you came home because I told you to?
Well...
I don't want you to be blamed for what I did.
I know.
See how it looks like I'm growing fur here?
Fur?
From being in the doghouse.
That was so corny!
Can we go on a quick date before returning home?
Jinae, you look great in that.
I do? Thank you.
You're wearing a new outfit.
You noticed it now?
I guess you don't care.
Well,
I always focus on the whole person.
Ms. Hwang bought this for me.
Ms. Hwang?
The more I get to know her,
the more amazing she becomes.
I envy her son's girlfriend.
You envy her?
Yes.
Is that rude to say?
No.
But I have a feeling
your mother's a great woman, too.
I can feel it when I see you.
She certainly is.
You and my mother will get along great.
Nansuk!
- Hi, Seonyeong. - Hi.
Isn't that Hoonjae's photo?
That was out here. Why did you have it in there?
Hoonjae told me to put it away last night,
but the table looked empty, so I brought it back.
I called Hoonjae and asked, and he said okay.
But
why did he ask you to put that away?
I'm not sure.
Maybe he had his reasons.
His father is considerate.
His mother is...
I'm wiping the floor!
Move your feet!
His sister is...
How could you be so rude
when an elder is cleaning your room for you?
Man...
Had I known, I would've behaved.
But who cares about his family?
All I have to deal with is Hyeongsun.
I miss him!
Don't get into another argument, okay?
Be nice and sweet, okay?
Got it?
Why are you standing out here?
Hyeongkyu, hello.
Is mom very angry?
What? Why would she be?
He didn't come home last night, either.
Either?
You didn't come home last night?
With him?
- No. - No.
It was just me.
- Because you fought with mom again? - Yeah.
What about you?
I was working.
Wait. Here.
Good luck.
I'm home.
Hyeongkyu,
you didn't come home last night?
No.
I had a lot to do at work.
No matter how late, you should come home.
It's not good for you.
Yes, mother.
Mom.
What do I do?
Be nice and sweet.
Go in.
Mom.
Why are you back already?
You should've stayed out for a few more days.
Or never come back at all.
Sorry.
I was so upset last night.
I don't believe you.
Were you the only one who was upset?
I was so upset that I think I should've left.
I'm sorry.
I left out of anger, but
I was going to come back after getting some air.
But my boss called me,
and I went to her house to get some work done.
That must have been nice.
Sweet red bean cakes are already in season.
You like them, don't you?
Wow. They're out already.
Did you buy new clothes?
Oh, this?
Ms. Hwang got me this.
Pretty, isn't it?
I didn't take a change of clothes,
so she had one of the shops send her this.
Isn't that the jacket you bought me?
Why are you ironing that?
You never wore it, so it got dusty.
So I beat the dust out and am ironing it now.
Oh, no. What is this?
Do you like that jacket that much?
Of course.
It's just my style.
I wonder how she knew.
You never wore this jacket I bought you,
but you love that one so much?
Because your stylish boss bought it for you?
Mom, don't be like that.
You make it so impossible for me to like you.
What's wrong this time?
Because I got this jacket as a gift?
I couldn't refuse when my boss got it for me.
I didn't say anything.
Good for you. I'm happy for you.
Seriously...
I tried to work things out with you tonight,
but you make it impossible!
Look who's talking!
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Jinae...
She failed again?
They are really something.
My...
How can my own daughter be that heartless?
Why can't we get along?
Did I hurt her?
I told her to send me the file right away.
(Ms. Seon Hyeju)
Your call is being forwarded to...
What is she doing?
Your call is being forwarded to...
What the... It's broken?
Ms. Seon? Ms. Seon!
Ms. Seon! Open the door!
Huh?
Mr. Lee?
What?
You've been home all this time?
Yes.
Then, why didn't you answer your phone?
I was taking a bath...
Taking a bath...
I thought something happened!
I'm sorry.
I must've made you worry.
Oh, no...
I wasn't worried at all.
I mean...
You didn't send me the file I asked for,
and I couldn't reach you. So I came over.
Right! That file!
I'm sorry.
I'll send it right away.
Seriously...
From now on,
when I call you, pick up within 10 seconds.
- Got it? - Got it.
- How many seconds? - 10 seconds.
Wait...
Stay and have some fruit.
You and your fruit...
I don't want any.
Goodnight!
Why did he come here and yell at me?
Check on him?
You're talking nonsense.
I mean it, Seonyeong!
It's time to check on Hoonjae.
Asking you not to come over because of his friend?
That seems fishy to me.
If you really wanted to
you could find out the truth.
What truth?
Hoonjae isn't a criminal.
You always act like nothing fazes you,
but you may come to regret it someday.
Besides, this could be considered neglect.
You're such a worrywart.
What if Hoonjae
and his girlfriend are living together?
Man...
I can't believe you said that.
Why don't you go
move in with someone yourself?
I would love to, actually.
Excuse me.
Hoonjae?
Mother...
Honey,
is someone here?
Huh?
Who are you?
Oh, my...
Hoonjae...
I'm sorry, mother.
I did something I couldn't get out of.
Mother?
This woman is your mother?
Hoonjae...
Hoon... Hoonjae!
Hoonjae!
It was just a nightmare.
Where your son lives?
Yes.
He doesn't like it thinking I'm butting in,
but I feel like it's time for me to check on him.
What do you think?
Yes, I think it might be the right time to visit.
You had that nightmare,
so maybe the timing is now.
Right?
Moms have a sixth sense about their children.
Your evening meeting got canceled,
so why don't you go tonight?
Shall I?
Hello?
Hoonjae,
I have a tip.
The floor is leaking in our side dish shop.
If you came and fixed it in a jiffy,
you might earn points with Sanok.
That's perfect!
Yes, Mr. Park.
I will take advantage of that. Thank you.
Take advantage of what?
Who was that?
Nobody.
I don't have to tell you about my personal life.
Are you...
Into real estate investments?
He called to give you a lead on real estate, huh?
Be careful.
When it comes to land, you must visit first.
Well,
I'm going out to the site.
The site?
You're going now?
Take care of your
personal affairs on your own time.
But he's going to our Dogok-dong site.
Oh...
I'll see you later.
I knew it...
There can't be a studio apartment building here.
Where does he live?
Excuse me...
It looks like it's going to be easy to fix.
Really? That's great news.
I told you it's not necessary!
Jinae's mother?
But it is necessary.
If you don't fix it early on, it might get worse.
So we need to fix it now.
You called Mr. Jiffy, didn't you?
No.
This won't earn you any points, okay?
It's okay, mother.
I'm not expecting anything.
Mother?
Why is he so intimidated by her?
Did you save the leftover linoleum from before?
Yes, I put it in storage.
I saved it because it was a fancy one.
Then, I'll go get it.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Unbelievable.
My...
He's been living in a shabby place like this?
Hoonjae!
Jinae!
You're home early.
Yeah.
You're fixing up my mom's shop?
Yeah.
I have to work hard to earn some points.
I'm sorry to put you through this...
You're sweating.
Since we ran into each other,
can I get a kiss?
What?
Jinae?
Why not?
We're the only ones here.
Your mother and father are at the shop.
But still...
I love you, Jinae.
What are you two doing here?
Mother...
Ms. Hwang?
Did you have to keep it a secret?
Why didn't you tell me?
How could you not take my feelings into account?
I'm sorry.
Be my daughter's driver starting today
and see whom she meets.
Excuse me?
I think someone's following me.
What was the code...
Ms. Seon!
