Take it.
I drove you home because I was worried. It's okay.
Gosh. Take it when I offer it.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry. Ju Hyuk is really drunk. This is a mistake.
Don't worry about it.
I'll just think that he's paying me for my time. I appreciate it.
I'll be off, then.
Jae Hyun.
Did Ju Hyuk get home safely?
Yes.
What about Mom and Grandpa?
They're asleep.
Mi Rae, come and take a seat.
Why did you show up at our team dinner today?
Did Ju Hyuk call you?
Yes.
But I had no idea that it was a team dinner.
Jae Hyun, are you mad at me that I showed up there?
I don't have a good feeling about it.
Everyone found out about you and Ju Hyuk.
Gosh. If Grandpa finds out,
he'll be very angry.
Anyway,
I'll tell my staff to keep it to themselves.
So don't tell the family that you were at my team dinner today.
Don't tell Mom.
Thanks, Jae Hyun.
What? 300 dollars? He actually accepted the money?
Yes, apparently.
My goodness. That must've really hurt your pride.
I'm sure Mi Rae was there too.
I don't care about my pride.
I can't afford to care about it.
Right. It's not like your pride can help you put food on the table.
Thanks to me, you got paid pretty well for driving him home.
So what's my cut?
What? I need the money for something.
Where did your business ethics go?
All right, fine.
Anyway,
I bet you already knew.
Knew what?
That Mr. Dong and Mi Rae are dating.
Right, I knew.
My gosh. If they're in a relationship,
Mr. Dong must've been visiting Chairman Hwang's home very often.
How serious is their relationship?
That I don't know.
Really?
Anyway, Mr. Dong is one lucky man.
His father is the president of the company.
And at this rate, he'll become the chairman's grandson-in-law.
I must say, I truly envy him.
Don't you envy him too?
Not really. I never even thought about such things.
Anyway, I'm going to wash up.
He's never had to stoop down to our level since he was born.
What's the point of trying so hard to get out of this murky pond?
We'll never be anything more...
than mere crayfish, carp, or frogs.
I feel so unmotivated.
Oh, boy.
Anyway, where's Dad?
He left in the wee hours to deliver side dishes.
Gosh. I think he got home late again last night.
What? So he probably couldn't even have breakfast.
Jan Di, you're the reason your dad is working so hard,
which is why you need to listen to your dad...
and study hard.
What? I can't hear you.
Must you nag me again?
Why don't you find a job first?
What?
Whatever. Bye!
- Gosh, that brat. - Have a good day!
- See you. - Bye!
Goodness.
Even if he delivers side dishes every single day,
he can't move up in the world.
You're a lawyer who makes six figures.
What's the use?
I don't come from a rich family,
so my child has to suffer too.
I'd say Se Chan has it pretty easy.
I can't even get a job.
Sang Soo.
By any chance,
were you the one who wrote the divorce complaint?
Gosh, he told you already?
Kang San's father showed up at my office...
and threatened me that he wouldn't leave until I wrote it for him.
So what was I supposed to do? I had no choice.
Even so, Sang Soo...
From now on, I'd appreciate it...
if you could discuss such family matters with me first.
All right. I'll consult you first.
Mom, that thing too.
Okay.
Look, Sang Soo.
What now, Mother?
Well...
As you know, prices are going up.
Everything's going up, you know.
And you're such a picky eater.
So I've been making more side dishes for you,
which means our living expenses have gone up significantly.
On that note,
could you contribute to our household expenses?
Oh, right.
Household expenses, that's right.
But I signed up for golf lessons this month,
so I have nothing to spare.
Not even 100 dollars?
It'll be hard.
Then 50 dollars.
I can't. I can't even afford to get cup noodles for lunch.
Hello?
Yes! What brings you by so early in the morning?
- My gosh, hello. - Hello.
Here. It's for this month's electricity and water bills.
My gosh, you didn't have to do this.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Oh, right. If you haven't eaten yet, please come in and join us.
- No, I've already eaten. - What?
- I'll get going, then. - Okay, bye.
My gosh. He's always so polite.
Goodness. This is too much.
My goodness.
Here.
Here's your lunch money.
Don't eat cup noodles all the time.
Gosh.
Mother.
I'll put this to good use.
Thank you.
Mom!
What?
Thank you, Mother. I love you.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
- Eat up. Chew well. - It's so good.
- You're the best, Mother. - Hey!
Gosh, seriously.
This is delicious.
Hey, Hye Jung!
Oh, hi.
Did you get home safely last night?
Yes. I can't talk right now.
Is your husband there?
- Hey, I have to go. - Okay.
I'll call you another time.
Who were you talking to at this early hour?
My son, Geum Kang San.
Whenever I ask you this question, you say it was Geum Kang San.
Go get some side dishes, then.
Okay.
Go!
Goodness.
Gosh.
Good morning.
Don't you have to go to work?
It's fine.
I called Jae Hyun and told him I'd be a little late.
You looked really stressed out last night.
Did something bad happen?
Nothing happened.
I just wanted to see you, so I called you.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry, Ju Hyuk.
No, actually...
Maybe it's a good thing.
What?
We can't keep our relationship a secret forever, you know?
What do you mean?
Unfortunately, everyone at work now knows that we're dating.
Then Chairman Hwang can no longer be against it.
Ju Hyuk. It might make my grandpa angrier if he were to find out.
Let's not be pessimistic, Mi Rae.
I know. But to be honest, it's making me worry.
Let's get going.
I'll drive you to work.
Come on.
All right, please stop what you're doing. May I have your attention?
Yes, Mr. Ok.
Ms. Park, relay my message to Da Seul...
- when she gets here. - Yes, sir.
What's the matter?
I need a favor from you.
It's about what you saw at the team dinner last night.
I'd appreciate it if you could all keep it to yourself.
As you all know,
private matters involving the owner's family...
can be considered extremely sensitive issues.
You could get roped into a defamation lawsuit...
or be accused of spreading false information, so...
Oh, no. What should I do?
Why? What is it?
I already told everyone...
in the internal group chat.
And Da Seul said she told everyone in the female employees' group chat.
What? Already?
Oh, boy.
Then everyone in the company must already know about Mr. Dong and Mi Rae.
- Oh, dear. - Sorry I'm late.
Hey, Mr. Dong.
Can you spare me a moment?
Now?
What are you making, Mr. Geum?
I'm making cinnamon tea for Mr. Chairman.
It helps regulate your blood sugar and prevents Alzheimer's.
My goodness. You're such a hard worker.
I give you that.
You work so hard.
Wait, Ms. Choi.
What is it?
Here, take this.
What is this?
Are you submitting an additional complaint to the parents' meeting?
No. I heard you gave my father 300 dollars yesterday.
I'm paying you back.
Oh, so you heard about what happened.
You don't need to pay me back.
I gave it to Jan Di's grandfather so he could go see a doctor.
My father...
isn't hurt at all. I'm sorry.
What?
Are you saying it was all an act?
My gosh. He nearly did a triple Axel!
I really can't believe this.
I'm really sorry. I apologize on his behalf.
But I swear, he didn't do it for money.
You said harsh things to Jan Di, so...
Says who?
Who told you I said harsh things to her?
I heard everything.
Ms. Choi, I know Jan Di...
grew up without a mother,
but she is strong and grew up so well. And she's my daughter.
That said,
I hope you never use my family's pain...
to hurt my daughter ever again.
Please do it for me.
All right.
Then can I have some cinnamon tea too? Please bring it to my room.
Pardon me?
And please put this back in the fridge.
Gosh, I'm so relieved that it all worked out,
thanks to the money I made yesterday.
You're right. That was reckless of me.
I should've been more thoughtful.
So what do you want me to do?
What can you do?
Now that this happened, President Dong...
can't even dream of getting back together with my mom.
I feel bad for my father.
For Ms. Hwang too.
My mom's fine because she has no feelings left for him.
But I'm worried about my grandfather.
If he hears that everyone at work has found out about you and Mi Rae,
he'll fly into a rage.
But don't you think he'll eventually come to terms with it?
What? You can say that because you don't know what my grandpa is like.
Gosh.
Your blood pressure has gone up a little.
This is why you have to stick to your low-sodium diet...
and go for walks often, sir.
Okay, I heard you. You don't need to go on about it.
Hi, Mr. Choi. What's up?
What? What did you say?
Is that really true?
Rumors are already running rampant?
Okay, got it.
Gosh, sir!
These brazen brats.
I knew Mi Rae would cause trouble like this.
Pardon me?
Hurry. Get ready to go out.
Do you want to leave now?
I told you to hurry!
Yes, sir.
Unbelievable.
It smells so good.
Right, Mother? I asked Mr. Geum to make it.
It helps lower your blood sugar...
and prevents Alzheimer's too.
Is that right?
My gosh.
Father!
- Father, you're going out? - Yes.
I have to go to the office.
Did something happen, Grandfather?
Chan Ran, did you know?
Know what?
Mi Rae showed up at Ju Hyuk's team dinner.
Because of that, everyone has found out that they're dating.
How dare she!
No way. Let me call Mi Rae and ask her.
One moment.
No need. I already confirmed everything with Mr. Choi.
What are you waiting for? Let's go.
Yes, sir.
Be careful, Grandfather.
Father.
Ms. Ok, take a look.
Which one's better? This suit? Or this one?
Is it for Mr. Jang?
Ho Sik?
No. It's for someone else.
Oh, I see.
Let me see.
I like the first one.
This one?
Yes, I think so too.
This one will look better on him.
Thanks, Ms. Ok.
No problem, Ms. Jang.
Thanks.
Hi, Mom.
What is going on, Mi Rae?
Did you show up at Ju Hyuk's team dinner last night?
Oh, that.
I had no choice. Ju Hyuk was very drunk last night.
So it's true.
What are you talking about, Mom?
Your grandpa left the house in a hurry to go to the office.
He said everyone in the company knew about your relationship.
Gosh.
Mother, what did Mi Rae say?
I think Father was telling us the truth.
Mi Rae finally pulled the trigger.
Hey, I'm sure Mi Rae didn't do it on purpose.
Who knows?
If rumors spread, she can make it official.
So it's possible that she meticulously planned it.
Gosh, Soo Ji. Is that all you can think about?
I'm sorry. Anyway,
if everyone in the company has found out about Mi Rae and Ju Hyuk,
it means you and President Dong can't get back together anymore.
Gosh.
Can you leave the office for this long during your working hours,
Mr. Dong Ju Hyuk?
I escaped for a couple of hours...
so I could sit back and watch things unfold according to my plan.
So what do you think?
You followed my suggestion.
It was pretty useful.
Well... Now, you just have to put on an act...
and play the victim? That's it?
You're one dangerous woman.
Look who's talking.
What can I do to thank you for this?
Are you asking me because you really don't know...
what I want?
Let me say this again.
Don't call me again. Wait until I call you.
(Hwang Dong Food)
I heard everyone in the company was talking about Mi Rae and Ju Hyuk.
Sir, I'll get it all sorted out.
No, you've done enough.
Pardon me?
I'm telling you...
to give up on Chan Ran and move on.
Sir, I'm not quite following.
With the rumor running rampant,
you and Chan Ran certainly can't get back together.
Even if you two somehow end up together,
it would look absurd since Ju Hyuk is your son.
This is why...
I told you to get it sorted out long ago.
I'm sorry, sir.
However, things wouldn't have gotten out of hand like this...
had we not let Ju Hyuk join the head office.
Are you trying to put the blame on me?
No. Of course not, sir.
I do understand how you feel.
However,
you tried your best to win Chan Ran's heart for years,
so it's time you gave up.
Sir, I can't give up like this.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Mr. Ok, could you spare me a moment?
What now?
I was just at the general affairs team's office.
I think everyone knows that Mr. Dong and your sister are dating.
Who spread the rumor?
I'm sorry.
I'm so annoyed right now. Just go back to your desk.
Okay.
My gosh.
On the intranet forum, they're saying Mr. Dong is getting married.
It's really getting out of hand.
People said in the morning that they were just dating.
But people are saying they're engaged in the afternoon.
By the time we're wrapping up for the day, people will say she's pregnant.
Mr. Eun, that's enough.
Oh, sorry.
In any case, it looks like...
Mi Rae and Mr. Dong will get married soon.
Then I want to be the first one to congratulate them.
Anyway, do you have a preference between a nephew and a niece?
A nephew? Or a niece?
Enough, okay?
I'm sorry.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Gosh.
(President Dong Kyu Chul)
Sir, I can stop the rumors.
Please give me and Chan Ran another chance.
No.
When it comes to rumors,
it's easy to exaggerate them, but stopping them is hard to do.
When Chan Ran adopted Mi Rae...
and became a single mother,
the family had to suffer because of all the rumors. Have you forgotten?
No. I remember, sir.
So if...
rumors spread that she and her adopted daughter...
got roped into this mess...
I do not want to deal...
with another disgraceful scandal like that.
Then could you give me some time?
If I can't persuade Ju Hyuk,
I'll make Mi Rae give up.
Look, it's already too late.
It's no use crying over spilled milk.
You should give up.
That's all you can do now.
Sir.
Sir, please don't tell me that you'll let them get married.
Don't get the wrong idea.
I never once wanted to accept Ju Hyuk into the family.
Also,
what I just said...
means I neither want you nor your son to become a member of the family...
through marriage.
There. My, these smell so good.
Thank you.
There.
My gosh.
Hello, you're here.
What brings you by? Are you here to buy some bread?
No, I'm not here to eat bread.
- Mr. Kim. - Yes.
This morning, you gave me money for your electricity and water bills.
Why did you put in so much though?
You gave me a discount on my rent...
and gave me free side dishes too. That's why.
Come on. We live under the same roof.
Of course, I should help you out.
I only took what you owed me for your water and electricity bills.
Here's the rest. Take it.
No, please don't do this. I feel bad.
No, please just take this.
No, what I gave you was a fair amount.
Goodness. You're so stubborn. Give me your hand.
There. There you go.
No, please don't do this.
Here. I gave it back, okay?
No, this is...
- Gosh! Stop it. - Ouch, that hurt!
Just take it, will you? She really wants to give it back.
Then how about I buy you some bread?
What kind of bread do you like?
What? Bread? No, you don't have to.
Take your picks.
Well, if you insist... I shall pick out a few then.
- Let's see. - Do you like red bean buns?
My gosh! Did you read my mind?
How did you know exactly what I like?
Would you like some custard buns too? Your granddaughter likes them.
What? Well...
That'd be nice.
Gosh, thank you so much.
Goodness, stop.
Why pick and choose? Everything here is delicious.
I'll bag them for you.
Gosh, seriously.
They're all good.
What's with her?
- Gosh, I'm so busy. - What's her problem?
Did you have to come here so early?
Your grandpa left the house in a hurry to go to the office.
He said everyone in the company knew about your relationship.
You can stay here.
I'll escort him inside.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
Please reconsider.
I no longer want to accept you into the family.
How many times have I told you?
- Let's stop talking about this. - Then...
please allow Ju Hyuk to marry Mi Rae.
What did you say?
If you do that,
I'll give up on marrying Chan Ran...
and move on.
Look, I've made myself very clear to you.
I neither want you nor your son...
to become a member of the family through marriage.
Sir.
Mi Rae.
President Dong.
What my grandpa just said.
Is it really true?
You wanted to marry my mom? What do you mean?
You see, it's...
Let's forget about our parents.
Let's only think about ourselves, okay?
How could you do this to me?
Does this mean I can finally get my employee ID card?
Who are you?
Ms. Ok. You're upset about something, right?
I feel so bad for my mom.
Ms. Ok.
