(Episode 109)
Hey, it's not Parents' Day. Why are you making a carnation?
Don't ask.
Are they for my aunt?
No.
Then who are they for?
Gosh, mind your own business.
Why am I having such a hard time folding the petals?
They're all crooked.
Jan Di, do you need my help?
No, it's fine. I can do this on my own.
- Here, let me. - No.
I got this.
Well, I'm off. I have to go to the math academy.
Sure, whatever.
Whatever. I'm off, Auntie Mi Rae.
All right, bye.
(Horang Art Academy)
Did you ask for me?
Yes, Ms. Ok.
How many group classes did Seo Yeon miss last month?
Two, I believe. I'll check again.
Oh, there's no need.
By the way,
I saw earlier that Jan Di was making a carnation.
Are they for her mother?
Yes, probably.
My gosh.
Ms. Ok, you must be hurt.
She's totally neglecting you now that her mother has shown up.
No, that's not true.
It is true. The other day,
she sided with Sun Ju and glowered at you.
Why does she even love her mother who abandoned her in the past?
I totally understand Jan Di.
I experienced similar feelings when my biological father showed up.
Ms. Ok, you really are an angel.
In any case,
I guess this is why people say blood is thicker than water.
It's done.
Mom will like this, right?
Jan Di.
Mom!
Is your class over?
Yes.
Mom.
This is for you.
What is this?
A carnation.
I had always wanted to give it to you...
when and if I met you again.
That's why I made it.
I see.
Last time,
I made one for you to give it to you once we found you.
But I was told that you were dead.
So I just let it drift away on the river.
But now,
you're back.
So it's all good now.
Jan Di.
Mom.
Let me put this on you.
What?
Mom.
Thank you for bringing me into this world.
Jan Di.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Gosh.
I don't want you to ruin your dress because of me.
Jan Di.
Why don't we go to my place together today?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm supposed to meet up with a friend of mine.
Really? Okay.
I'm going to have a quick consultation with Ms. Ok before I leave.
Okay. I'll call you later, Mom.
(Horang Art Academy)
Oh.
When did you get here?
I guess you're here to see Jan Di.
You weren't at your desk earlier.
Anyway, I need to talk to you about something.
Oh, sure.
Then please take a seat.
No need.
I want Jan Di to quit the academy.
Pardon me?
I'm going to make my daughter quit this academy.
Well, that is not something you can decide, Ms. Lee.
What did you say?
Jan Di's legal guardian is Mr. Geum Kang San.
Most importantly, Jan Di's opinion is what matters most.
Have you talked to Jan Di about this?
What would an eighth grader even know?
She's too young to decide anything.
Oh.
I suppose Jan Di wants to keep taking the art classes here.
Right?
Hey, quit your sly tricks.
"Sly tricks?"
I know you're trying to keep Jan Di here to hold her hostage.
I bet you were the one who told Kang San to move out of my mom's place.
What?
I was away for ten years,
so I guess you think it'd be easy to replace me.
Don't be delusional.
You're not Jan Di's mother. I am.
And as you can see, I'm alive and well.
Know your place. Why do you keep trying to act like you're Jan Di's mom?
See this carnation?
Jan Di put it on me.
I'd appreciate it if you could stop meddling in...
my husband and daughter's business from now on, Ms. Ok Mi Rae.
Hey, Kang San.
I heard you decided to stay.
Yes.
Right, what can you do? Jan Di got so angry.
Anyway, have you had a chance to talk about divorce with Sun Ju yet?
Will she settle?
I haven't heard from her yet.
She's not calling because she doesn't want a divorce.
From what I heard from Mother,
I think she's hoping that you'll get back with Sun Ju.
If she keeps this up,
you'll have no choice but to take her to court.
Take her to court?
That's right.
We don't know how the situation could unfold, so be mentally prepared.
We've been doing our best.
But we haven't found any hematopoietic stem cell donor...
who's a match for you yet.
In the current situation, it's most likely that we'll find a matched donor...
among your family members.
Mom is not picking up.
Hello?
Hello? Who is this?
Why do you have my mom's cell phone?
I beg your pardon? My mom?
Jan Di, it's getting late. Where are you going?
Dad.
Mom has collapsed.
What? Where?
Well, that's...
Hey, tell me more. What is going on?
No. Mom makes you uncomfortable, so you won't come with me anyway.
Grandma and Auntie Ye Ju are at the store now.
So I should go to Mom.
- Jan Di. - What?
I'm in a hurry, Dad.
Go inside.
I'll go.
You'll go to Mom?
Yes.
My gosh.
Sun Ju.
Wake up.
Hey.
Wake up!
How much did she drink?
Sorry? Oh...
She's been here since we opened today, so she drank quite a bit.
Lee Sun Ju.
Hey!
Oh, Geum Kang San?
You're the only one who cares about me, after all.
Let's go.
Get up.
Why did you drink so much?
Kang San, I feel dizzy.
Get some rest.
Can't you stay just a little longer?
Jan Di is waiting for me at home.
Hi, Jan Di.
Yes, I brought your mom home safe and sound.
Yes. So don't worry, and just go to bed.
I'll be home shortly.
Okay.
That was Jan Di, right?
Yes. Take care of yourself.
Wait, Kang San!
What now?
I'm thirsty, and I feel queasy too.
So get me a glass of water.
And the medicine in the medicine cabinet too.
- Sun Ju, are you all right? - Yes.
Yes, I'm all right.
I'll be fine once I take the medicine.
Okay, where's the medicine cabinet?
By the fridge.
- Okay, one moment. - Okay.
Is this it?
(Mi Rae)
Ok Mi Rae?
Hello?
Isn't this Mr. Geum Kang San's phone?
It is, Ms. Ok Mi Rae.
It's me, Lee Sun Ju, Jan Di's mother.
Why are you answering Kang San's phone?
Kang San is at my place now. That's why.
Why is he there at this hour?
Whenever I'm having a hard time, he comes to my rescue.
You know that he waited for me for ten years, right?
And we'll spend the night together.
What did you just say?
So do not disturb us, Ok Mi Rae.
- Kang San. - You...
What did you just do?
You heard everything.
I will not let her steal you from me.
Let me make this clear to you once more.
Mi Rae is the one I love.
That was the case when you thought I was dead.
What?
Kang San, you're deluding yourself into thinking that you love her.
That woman, Ok Mi Rae, filled my absence for a little while. That's it.
No.
You're the one who's being delusional.
I'm being delusional?
I really...
don't want to talk about this anymore.
I'm off.
Kang San.
We can go back to that time.
Let go of me first if you want to talk.
You're Jan Di's dad, and I'm her mom.
Yes, that's right.
I am Jan Di's dad, and you're her mom! But you...
Forget it.
Let's drop this. From now on,
we'll do our best for Jan Di in our own positions.
That is...
all we can do.
Do you understand?
No, Kang San.
I really need you and Jan Di right now.
I will never let Ok Mi Rae steal the two of you from me.
Mi Rae.
I...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mi Rae.
Kang San, did you run here?
Yes.
Earlier...
You must've been very surprised.
I'll be honest. Yes, I was surprised.
What happened?
Jan Di's mother drank too much and passed out.
No one else could take her home, so I went to pick her up.
But while I was looking for her medicine cabinet,
she answered my phone.
So...
everything she said...
I know...
she was lying.
I trust you, Kang San.
But knowing how long you had waited for her,
I was a little anxious.
Don't be anxious.
Mi Rae, I promise you...
that you have no reason to be anxious.
Thank you.
For running all the way here to explain what happened.
Gosh, I'm covered in sweat.
It's okay.
I'm not okay with it.
Dad, how was Mom? Was she all right?
Yes. I took her home safe and sound,
so put your worries to rest.
Gosh. Why did Sun Ju drink so much?
Come on. Sun Ju is an artist.
Goodness, Mother.
It's not like every artist drinks until they drop.
What?
Anyway, my sweetie pie was so worried about her mom last night.
She was tossing and turning all night.
Gosh. They met again recently,
but she was only asking for her mom.
Anyway, Kang San.
Why did you get home so late last night? Were you with Sun Ju?
- Mom. - What?
Mother, do you know if Sun Ju is ill?
What? Sun Ju? Why do you ask?
The thing is, I ran into her at the hospital yesterday.
Hospital?
Why were you there?
I had to take Chairman Hwang there for his checkup.
I was actually worried because Sun Ju seemed to have gotten skinnier.
Come on. She is not ill.
Would someone who's ill drink until they drop?
She probably drank because she was upset about a lot of things.
Anyway, thank you, Kang San.
You're the only one who'd step in...
and try to help Sun Ju.
I had to, in that situation.
Somebody had to step in.
Thank you, Dad.
All right.
Kang San.
Are you planning to keep this job?
Of course, sir.
Father, why are you asking him such a question all of a sudden?
You see,
I think he's overqualified to work as a caregiver.
That said,
how about you join our food product development team?
At Hwang Dong Food, sir?
Yes, that's right.
Kang San.
Grandfather, he said he wasn't interested in joining the company at all.
Besides, the only experience he has is working at the side dish store.
Right, Mr. Geum?
He's competent enough when it comes to food product development.
And I can't let my future grandson-in-law work as a caregiver forever.
I think it's a good idea, Father.
Mother.
Sir, thank you for your kind offer.
But I like how things are now.
Don't be like that, Kang San. Why don't you give it a shot?
Yes, Mr. Geum. Do as my father says.
No. If I join the company,
people might gossip about Mi Rae.
If the company ever needs my help,
I'll help them to the best of my ability while working for you, sir.
My goodness. You're such a selfless man.
Will you always help others without expecting anything in return?
(Sun Bakery, Hong Do's Side Dishes)
My gosh.
Oh, my.
Gosh.
My goodness.
What?
I've baked all the bread for you.
If you need any specific kind of bread, leave me a note.
Have a nice day, Kyu Sun.
Doo Ho.
You're here, Sunny.
My gosh. What is going on?
What were you doing in there?
And why are you wearing that?
Don't you worry. I didn't touch anything.
I was worried people would think it was strange...
that you didn't have a baker on site.
So I'm here as Mr. Kim's stand-in.
- "Stand-in?" - Yes.
I'm a good actor, Sunny. Do you want to see my acting?
Gosh, forget it.
Hello, Ms. Dong!
- Hi, Ye Ju. Come on in. - Hello.
What? Mr. Geum, why are you here?
Me? Well, Kyu Sun and I will become in-laws soon,
so I'm here to fill in for Mr. Kim.
I see. Do you even know how to bake?
Ms. Dong. You and Mr. Kim...
didn't break up, did you?
Gosh, no.
He took a step back because my brother wouldn't approve of him.
Yes, that's right. Taking 2 steps back to take 1 step forward.
No. We're taking a step back to take two steps forward.
In any case, what matters is that you're moving forward.
My gosh. Ms. Dong, I think you're so cool.
You packed up and moved out because of love at that age.
You're pushing ahead with it and won't waver.
Ye Ju. When you truly love someone, you'll become brave too.
By the way, are you seeing anyone?
Or a fling, perhaps? As they say these days.
Well... Am I seeing anyone?
- There is someone, actually. - What?
Really?
Ye Ju, who is he?
Well, just someone.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Thank you.
You've been working hard.
But it's not as good as I had expected.
Don't be too greedy.
Think of it as a marathon, and be patient.
Anyway, how's your aunt doing?
Has she found a new baker yet?
Well, I don't think she has.
It won't be easy for her to bake and sell the bread...
all by herself without a baker.
I thought she'd give up and give in right away.
I suppose she can manage everything on her own.
To be honest, I'm also surprised that she's doing everything on her own.
She should close down the bakery...
to forget that baker for good.
Or she should meet someone new.
But she's refusing to go on a blind date.
She won't be able to think about anyone else but Mr. Kim for a while.
She's so in love.
What about you?
Me?
You should meet someone new as well.
Shall I look into it for you?
No, I'll figure it out.
I guess I'm getting old. When I see little kids these days,
I think they're so adorable.
Mom, you still make such good hangover soup.
Gosh, stop it. Why did you drink so much last night?
Did something bad happen?
Nothing happened.
What would you have done had Kang San not picked you up?
Also, Kang San said he ran into you at the hospital yesterday.
Are you ill or something?
No. I was visiting an acquaintance of mine.
Really? Hey.
Kang San got home late last night. Were you guys together until then?
- Mom, please. - What?
No, Kang San left right away.
Then where was he?
I bet he went to see Ms. Ok.
My goodness. I was wondering if he wanted...
to get back together with you. I got my hopes up.
If Ok Mi Rae isn't in the picture, he will come back to me.
So please help me, Mom.
I want to get back together with Kang San.
Hey, that's what I want too.
But I don't think it'll be easy for Kang San to end things with Ms. Ok.
It's not just about that, Mom.
Ms. Ok is so in love with him.
Sun Ju.
Don't get hurt while trying to break them up.
You should just give up.
We shall wait and find out who ends up getting hurt.
Jan Di is at home now, right?
At this hour, yes. She should be home.
Gosh, Mr. Kim has been stuck at home since he quit his job.
What does that have to do with us, Mom?
- He is Ms. Ok's father. - Yes.
You said Ok Mi Rae's family owned a conglomerate.
Why is her father renting a room from us?
The truth is, she was adopted. Mr. Kim is her biological father.
Oh, is that so?
Hello.
Oh, who might you be?
Don't you remember me?
I believe we met the other day.
Well... Oh! You were at Jan Di's grandmother's store.
Jan Di's grandmother is my mom.
Sorry?
I'm her second daughter. I am Jan Di's mom.
What? You're Jan Di's mom?
Yes.
Father, did you have a nightmare?
Why do you ask, Ju Hyuk? Did something happen to your father?
Ju Hyuk, these days...
Hello.
- We said we'd grab a drink together. - Sorry? What?
- Sweetie, can we go somewhere together? - Where?
Dad, what brings you here?
I'm here to talk to you about Kang San.
Dad, is it...
