(Episode 102)
I am...
your mom.
Don't lie to me.
My mom passed away.
Her will was found.
And we even held a funeral for her.
Back then, I was overwhelmed with my life.
So I decided to end it.
But I couldn't do that.
Jan Di.
I am...
your biological mother...
who gave birth to you.
Look at you.
You look so great in the outfit I sent you.
Do you like it?
How could you let Jan Di go alone, Ye Ju?
Call me as soon as you hear from Jan Di.
Okay. Bye.
What's wrong, Kang San?
Jan Di went to see a stranger by herself...
to get her phone fixed, apparently.
I can't believe Jan Di caused trouble on such a special day like this.
She never lets a day pass by without causing trouble.
Soo Ji.
Chairman Hwang, I think I should go out to find her.
Right. Of course. Go on.
Yes.
I'll go with you, Kang San.
Okay, Mi Rae.
Wait.
Is it Jan Di?
Yes.
Jan Di, where are you now?
Dad, I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I can't go to Ms. Ok's house.
Why? What's wrong?
What? You got hurt?
I see. Okay. Then make sure Hye Ri goes home safely.
Okay. Bye.
Is Jan Di hurt?
No, Jan Di's friend got hurt, not Jan Di.
She slightly twisted her ankle.
Jan Di said she'd take her friend home, but then it'd be too late...
to come here. I'm so sorry.
It's fine. We can reschedule our dinner.
Today is not the only day.
But you invited her considerately.
I'm very sorry.
That's okay. I must say, Jan Di is mature...
seeing that she helps her friend who's injured.
It's sad that she couldn't make it, but let's start eating without her.
Kang San must be very hungry now.
Sounds great. Let's do that, Grandfather. I'm so hungry I could eat a whole cow.
- Let's go, Mother. - Okay. Let's go and eat.
Kang San.
Thank you...
for canceling your plans and staying with me.
Actually, ma'am...
No, I mean...
Mom, I stayed...
because I had...
a lot of things to say and ask you about.
That's why I even lied to Dad.
Of course. Go ahead and tell me everything you want to say.
All my life,
I desperately waited for you.
I missed you so much...
and longed for you.
And to be honest, I resented you as well at the same time.
Why did you abandon me and Dad?
Why on earth did you do that?
Jan Di, that's...
Did you hate me?
Was I a hassle to you?
Back then,
I was very sick.
You were sick?
I had to give up on my dream of becoming a ballerina when I had you.
And that caused me immense emotional pain.
The pain was so unbearable that I couldn't even eat or sleep.
In the end, I decided to leave you and your dad,
which was such a foolish decision.
But still,
you could've reached out to me at least once.
You are my mom.
Then how could you never come to see me in ten years?
I felt so guilty toward you.
I couldn't get myself to come back to you.
In fact, I managed to get back on track physically and emotionally only recently.
Then are you...
still sick?
I'm fine now, Jan Di.
I...
I thought you were dead.
It was hard for me to let you go.
Why would you show up after all that happened? What am I supposed to do?
Jan Di.
I wish you had come back just a little sooner.
Just a little sooner.
You should've come back just a little sooner.
Hello?
It's Mommy. Did you get home safely?
Yes.
We just parted ways.
But I already miss you, Jan Di.
I feel the same way, Mom.
Also, Jan Di...
Thank you so much for forgiving me.
Oh, right. Can you not tell the family that you met me for the time being?
I'm worried that your grandma might be shocked.
And if your dad finds out, he might not let you see me.
Okay?
Okay.
My dear daughter, I'm back.
When did you get back?
Just now. How's Hye Ri?
I told you she was okay.
I wish you had come to the dinner.
Everyone in Mi Rae's family was so sad that you couldn't make it.
Oh, were they?
By the way, what's all this?
These are candied sweet potatoes and tteokbokki that you like the most.
Ms. Ok made these by herself.
Oh, my. Really?
Hey, hold on a second.
Why are you wearing that dress?
I told you to put it aside because we didn't know who sent it.
I just tried it on because it looked so pretty,
and I was invited to Chairman Hwang's house.
Take it off right now and give it to me.
No. I won't wear it again, okay?
You...
If you wear it again, I'll take it away from you.
Oh, right. Did you get your phone fixed?
What?
Yes. Dad, go and get some rest. I'll eat it by myself.
You brat. Fine. Eat slowly and enjoy it.
Make sure to brush your teeth after that.
Here you go again, nagging me.
My goodness.
How could Jan Di make Chairman Hwang's family wait in vain?
Come on. You heard that they had understood her situation.
Don't worry too much, Sang Soo.
Mother is right. Chairman Hwang said he would invite her again sometime.
You're so naive. They might've pretended they were okay with that.
I agree. Rich people never let others what they really think, Kang San.
- Absolutely. - Oh, I see.
- Kang San. - Auntie Ye Ju.
- Yes? - Look at this.
- Here. - Give me that. I said, give it back.
- Hey. - Give me that.
Jan Di, what's that phone? It looks new.
This is an expensive model. It costs more than 1,000 dollars.
And I saw that Jan Di had it.
What's wrong with that?
Jan Di, where did you get that phone?
Where did you get that, Jan Di?
I asked you where you got it. Tell me now.
The thing is...
I received it as a gift.
What? A gift?
Who is this? I don't recognize this number.
Hello, this is Geum Jan Di's... I mean...
I'm the father of the student whom you bought a new phone.
I'm calling you to ask you something.
Hello?
Hello? Can't you hear me?
Hello? Are you there?
What?
The call got disconnected.
It was disconnected?
Maybe she hung up, don't you think?
I'm not sure, Ye Ju.
And Jan Di.
You lied that Hye Ri was injured.
And you received such an expensive phone from a stranger. How could you?
She must've wanted a new phone so much. She's a teenager, you know.
- Mom, you're siding with Jan Di again. - Be quiet.
Why are you all making a fuss about it? It's no big deal.
She got a new phone for free. How great is that?
You did the right thing, Jan Di. You should always be smart like that.
Father.
By the way, that woman is so strange.
Why would she buy a new phone for a kid she met for the first time?
Could she have an ulterior motive?
I agree, Sang Soo. She's so suspicious.
It wasn't like that.
She felt bad about breaking my phone, so she bought me a new one as a gift.
A gift? Hey, is she a corporate heiress or something?
Or does she have so much money that she can't even spend all of it?
- Auntie Ye Ju, come on. - Jan Di.
If the lady seems rich,
try to get closely acquainted with her.
Then you'll get some nice things, just as you did this time.
Father, please stop saying such things.
And Jan Di, give me the phone.
I'll meet her and give it back to her. That's that.
You'll meet her? No, you can't do that.
What do you mean I can't do that? I should meet her and give it back to her.
But Jan Di already opened it and used the phone.
The lady won't even be able to get a refund.
Just let Jan Di use it.
You're right, Grandpa.
Jan Di, are you serious?
Kang San, I think you should transfer the money for the phone to her account.
What?
Is that so?
Don't forget to tell me if she contacts you.
Do you understand?
I'll think about it.
You'll think about it?
That's right.
When it comes to money matters, you should think carefully.
Then I'm off to school.
- Hey. - I can't believe her. Jan Di!
Have a nice day. And watch out for cars.
See you later. Oh, dear.
Come on, Kang San.
I'll talk to Jan Di so that she can understand.
Actually, Jan Di said that the lady who bought her a new phone...
looked so much like Sun Ju.
Pardon? What do you mean by that?
She looks like Sun Ju, Mother?
I mean, she's just a kid.
So since she met someone who looked like her mother,
she must've been drawn to the lady.
I think that's why she received the gift.
From Jan Di's perspective, it's totally understandable.
Oh, my. That's so hard to believe.
And I have a bad feeling about it.
Don't you feel the same way, Kang San?
Why did you let Jan Di meet her alone? This is all your fault.
- Gosh. - Why is it my fault?
Shut it. You little brat.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Delivery.
Oh, you're here too, Sang Soo.
What?
Why did you come here again, Ye Ju?
Well... The thing is...
What?
Mr. Eun, is this lady your sister-in-law?
Yes, she is. I'm sorry, Mr. Choi.
Ye Ju, did you really have to do this?
How many times did I tell you that no solicitors are allowed here?
Don't call me a solicitor.
Please stop it.
I ordered the food.
You did, Mr. Dong?
I'll take them.
Pardon?
Thank you for delivering all the food.
Oh, my. Mr. Dong, are you going to eat all that?
I think you ordered a lot of food.
No. I ordered enough food for all of us.
I ordered some for you too, Mr. Choi. That's why I asked you to come.
Oh, really?
You didn't have to do this.
If you try the food,
you'll see why I keep ordering food from this store.
Oh, my. Is the food that good? I'm excited to try it.
Then since it's time for lunch, shall we try the food now?
Wait, Mr. Ok. You don't have to leave your desk.
I'll set up everything neatly on your desk.
Mr. Choi, would you mind eating at the empty desk over there?
- I don't mind. - Okay.
You will serve the food to us as well, right?
My gosh, Da Seul. Do it yourself.
How dare you treat your superior like that?
You two take the food to your desks by yourselves.
- Whatever. - You're so mean.
Gosh.
Can I talk to you briefly?
Pardon?
I'm off.
(Hwang Dong Food)
So this is the food that he raved about.
- I'll try it. - What was that?
Why did you come so far away from your office?
Did you go home safely yesterday?
Did you come all the way here just to ask that?
Are you disappointed?
No, it's not that I'm disappointed.
Anyway, I'll treat you to coffee next time.
Before that,
give me your phone number.
What did you say? Are you trying to GPN?
What's "GPN?"
Don't you know that expression? It means "to get someone's phone number."
Hurry up and punch in your number.
Before someone comes and interrupts us.
"Us?"
As in me and you?
What?
Oh, come on.
You didn't think I gave you a fake number, did you?
That's not the reason.
I called you so that you could save my number too.
One more thing.
This is for you.
What's this?
Oh, it's sunscreen.
You make a lot of deliveries every day, right?
Don't forget to apply it before you make a delivery, okay?
What was that? Why did he bring me to such a sunny spot...
when he was going to give me sunscreen as a gift?
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Welcome.
My goodness. Aren't you Ms. Ok's mother?
Yes. I'm sorry for showing up unannounced.
Don't worry about that. But what brings you here?
I came here to talk to you.
I felt bad about arguing with you last time.
Oh, my. I'm so glad you're here. I'm so excited.
Since the weather is hot, I'll give you something cool to drink.
Do you like sikhye?
- Yes. - Great. Give me just a moment.
Oh, my. For my special guest,
I am going to pour a glass of cold sikhye.
Oh, dear. I should shake it well.
Yesterday, I thought my brother found out about us.
I was so surprised.
You were surprised too, right?
I'm sorry that I'm not good enough to introduce to your family.
Come on. Don't say that.
It's just that my brother is overprotective of me.
Anyway, how about we go on a trip this weekend?
An overnight trip.
An overnight trip?
You mean, we'll spend a night together?
Why are you so surprised? We're old enough to do that.
Even so.
Don't worry. I'll lie to my brother...
that I'll sleep over at my friend's house, just as I did last time.
Are you sure about this?
Of course, I am.
I really want to go on a trip with you. What do you say?
Let's do that, then.
My goodness. That's a promise, okay?
This is great. I'm so excited.
Thank you, Doo Ho.
I'm so excited.
What are you doing right now?
What? Hey, Kyu Chul.
What do we do?
Why are you doing this, Kyu Chul?
You know why.
Come out here right now, Kyu Sun.
No. It's not like I'm a little child.
What's wrong with you?
Come out here right now!
Even though you're her brother,
you shouldn't force her to do anything.
What did you just say?
- Why you little... - Stop it, Kyu Chul.
Who are you to treat him like this?
He has done nothing wrong.
I fell in love with him first.
And I'm still the one who loves more.
Shut your mouth.
No, I won't.
I love Doo Ho.
I love him with all my heart.
- What does she mean by all that? - Oh, my.
- Oh, goodness. - Kyu Sun.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Chan Ran, what are you doing here?
I came here to stop by Mr. Geum's store.
Kyu Sun, are you really in a relationship...
with Mi Rae's father?
Yes, Chan Ran.
We're in a romantic relationship.
He and I love each other.
Oh, my...
Dong Kyu Sun, stop it already.
Do you really have to cause me to lose my face?
Fine.
I'll go home with you for now.
Kyu Sun.
Doo Ho, don't worry about me.
Chan Ran, I'll get going.
Okay.
Go on in.
Mr. Kim, are you all right?
Oh, yes, of course.
I'll go back in. I should finish tidying up.
Oh, okay.
(Sun Bakery, Hong Do's Side Dishes)
I guess the bakery owner's brother is strongly against their relationship.
You didn't know about them either, right?
No, I didn't know.
My gosh. So...
And they...
That's why...
My gosh. I get it now. That's why...
she felt so sad and cried her heart out. No wonder.
Jan Di.
What? Where did Ms. Ok go?
Why are you alone here?
Ms. Ok stepped out briefly to go to the pharmacy on the first floor.
She'll be back shortly.
What?
Gosh. She stepped out without telling me.
Oh, no. You haven't even finished drawing your sketch.
I'm going to do it now.
Here...
You need to shade this area.
Jan Di, I'm in front of your art academy right now.
Can you come down?
There. Look at this.
Jan Di.
Who is it?
Ms. Jang.
My friend came here to give me something.
I'll finish my drawing tomorrow.
But... Oh, okay.
Thank you. Please tell Ms. Ok why I had to leave.
- See you tomorrow, Ms. Jang. - But... Jan Di.
There's something fishy about Jan Di.
Jan Di.
Hello.
You're hungry, right? Shall we go and eat something delicious?
Why? You don't want to eat with me?
It's not like that. I...
I feel bad about seeing you without letting Dad know.
Oh, I see.
I'm just worried that he might stop you from seeing me.
Do you not want to spend time with me?
Of course, I want to spend time with you.
Then let's go.
(Dad)
Oh, it's your dad. Answer it.
Yes, Dad.
Yes. Okay. Bye.
Dad is on his way to pick me up. He's almost at my art academy.
He wants to have dinner with me.
I see.
So what do you want to do, Jan Di?
I think I should eat with Dad today.
Right.
Okay, then. Let's eat some other time. I'll call you later.
Okay.
Bye.
(Horang Art Academy, Pharmacy)
- Mi Rae. - You're here, Kang San.
But Ms. Jang said that Jan Di had left to see her friend.
Don't worry.
I just talked to Jan Di on the phone. She'll be here shortly.
- Really? - Yes.
By the way,
are you feeling unwell?
It's not serious. I just have a minor headache.
Oh, no. Will you be okay?
Of course.
Oh, dear.
Hey, Jan Di. Did you meet your friend?
Oh... Yes.
Jan Di, how about we go somewhere to have pasta?
Pasta?
Yes. What do you think, Mi Rae?
Sounds great.
Then shall we get going, Jan Di?
I'll make things go back to how they used to be...
- no matter what. - No way.
Oh, right. Ms. Ok, did you hear about your father?
Why? Is something going on with him?
- Oh, boy. - Father.
Who is that woman?
I don't know. She's coming toward us.
- Hello? - Jan Di.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Mommy is...
