(Episode 46)
Ju Hyuk.
Are you okay now?
Do you know how worried I was?
Thank you...
for coming back to me.
I was so afraid...
that I might lose you.
So promise me you won't do that ever again, okay?
Why won't you answer me?
As long as you don't leave me,
that won't happen again.
I told you...
that I would never give up on you.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I know...
why you made that decision.
Ju Hyuk.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Goodness. We have no customers again.
It's always been like this, you know.
Shut it.
Hey, have you heard back after the job interview?
No, I haven't heard back yet.
I see.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Hey, Ho Rang. - Hi.
Hello, Ms. Ma. Have you been well?
Isn't Kang San here?
Kang San is at work, obviously.
How come you asked for my son-in-law as soon as you walked in?
It's not like that.
I was going to get some side dishes on my way to my academy.
But since Kang San isn't here,
I'll come back later in the evening. Goodbye.
Hey, stop. Wait for a second.
Why, Ms. Ma?
You don't have to come back later.
Why don't you get all these? I'll give you a huge discount.
- Oh, it's seasoned acorn jelly. - Yes.
Could it be...
It hasn't gone bad, right?
What?
Are you accusing me of selling bad food?
Come on, Ms. Ma. You're overreacting.
I just want to make sure of it.
Even so, Ho Rang, you've totally crossed the line.
Ye Ju, it wasn't out of line. It's my right as a consumer.
Also, even when I buy just one item, Kang San always kindly tells me...
the benefits of the ingredients.
"Ho Rang, you get an upset stomach very often."
"You should have more of this and that."
He's incredibly considerate of me.
I guess you're very lonely lately.
Ho Rang, how about I set you up with a man?
Look at her. Hey, Ye Ju.
Worry about yourself.
Worry about myself?
Mom, I'm not seeing anyone because I'm focusing on getting a job.
Anyway, I'm good.
I have way higher standards for a man than yours.
Gosh, that's nonsense.
Seriously, I'm feeling a little offended by that.
Since I have accomplished more than you have,
it's a given.
But I'm much younger than you.
I'm still quite young.
Men find mature women more attractive. Don't you know that?
Goodness. You two are being so ridiculous.
Anyway, I'm relieved that you have high standards, Ho Rang.
I'm sure that you think Kang San is...
way below your league. Am I right?
Pardon?
I'll give you all these side dishes for free.
Please take them.
And don't even think of...
having your sights on Kang San.
Okay?
There. Here you go. It's free.
I'm not buying them.
You really made me not want to buy anything.
Why?
Do you actually have a crush on Kang San?
Well... I don't know.
What...
(Korea National University Hospital)
Then just as the doctor said,
I can go home now and will be fine, right?
Yes.
You can go home as soon as your discharge procedure is done.
Thank you.
Mi Rae.
I'm sorry for troubling you, but can you proceed with the procedure for me?
Ju Hyuk, why don't you rest here for another day?
I said I was fine. I have a lot to do at work.
All right.
Then don't overwork yourself, okay?
I won't. Don't worry.
(Get well soon, my prince. From Yu Jin)
(Sun Bakery)
- Doo Ho. - Hello.
I'm sorry I'm so late. You must be tired from doing all the work by yourself.
Not at all.
My, I love the scent of bread.
Whenever I come into the bakery, the scent of freshly baked bread...
cheers me up instantly.
Really?
Yes. And the weather is so nice.
You seem to be in a great mood today.
I am, indeed. I just got a call and heard...
that Ju Hyuk and Mi Rae decided to get back together.
They got through such a hard time...
and decided to get back together.
That's great news.
I know.
I think I can finally sleep peacefully at night.
- Doo Ho. - Yes?
To celebrate that, can you give me a high five?
Well... A high five?
Come on. Spread your hands and give me a high five.
Well... Okay. Sure.
- Here we go. - Okay.
- Yes! - Oh, my.
Oh, dear. Well... I'll go out to receive the delivery of flour.
- I'll be right back. - Okay.
Why would such a big man like him get so shy?
Then again, that's what makes him charming.
Of course.
So, are you feeling any better now?
I'm fine.
And I'm sorry for making you worry.
You're supposed to rest at home. You didn't have to come here.
I wanted to apologize to you and Mr. Hwang before going home.
But you don't look like someone who fell ill, Ju Hyuk.
I mean... As if you were expecting something good to happen soon,
you look rather lively and are even glowing.
I owe it all to Mi Rae. She took good care of me.
I see.
Oh, goodness. I didn't realize it.
You look awful, Mi Rae.
You must be tired from nursing him all night long.
I'm not tired at all, Soo Ji.
I'm just grateful that Ju Hyuk recovered.
Of course. I'm relieved as well.
I won't make you worry again.
Mi Rae and I will keep our relationship solid until we get married, Ms. Hwang.
And Mr. Hwang.
You're mistaken.
I haven't decided to approve of your marriage yet.
Pardon me?
Father, why are you still hesitating?
I mean, you approved of them dating.
I'm saying that I'll see how things go between them before deciding.
Mi Rae, do you understand?
Yes, Grandpa.
I know well how hard it was for you and Mom...
to make the decision.
With that in mind, I'll make sure you'll see us happy together...
and won't let you two down.
Never cause your mother grief again.
That's all I want from you.
I'll bear that in mind, Grandpa.
Go back in now.
I'll see you leave and go in.
You stayed up all night. Go and get some sleep.
So that I won't be worried.
Thank you for caring about me.
Hello.
- Oh, hello, Mr. Geum. - Hello.
Did you go somewhere?
I stepped out to run some errands for Mr. Hwang.
Are you feeling better now?
Yes, thanks to you.
Thank you so much for helping him.
It could've been worse if you hadn't found him there.
That's okay. It's no big deal.
Thank you for what you did yesterday.
By the way, can I ask you a favor?
A favor?
Please don't tell anyone what you see or hear while working here.
Especially about the private matters of me and Mi Rae.
Ju Hyuk.
Please don't worry. I understand what you mean.
Then I'll trust you.
Sure.
Mi Rae, I'll get going now.
Okay. Go home safely, Ju Hyuk.
Wait, Mr. Geum.
You must've been in an awkward position because of us over the past few days.
Don't worry about it.
Anyone would've done the same in that situation.
But it's all been sorted out well. I'm relieved.
To be honest, I'm always grateful to Mom and feel bad toward her.
I always tell myself not to make things any harder for her,
but I keep making her worry.
I think, Ms. Ok,
you should just let her see you happy as often as possible.
As a parent, seeing my kid happy and seeing her smile...
make me feel the happiest.
That's how I feel when I see Jan Di.
- Really? - Of course.
Shall we go in?
- Yes. - Okay.
Mr. Dong didn't come in today either.
He's not in trouble or something, right, Mr. Ok?
It's not like that. He'll come in later.
Could he have gone on a trip with his girlfriend on a whim?
No way.
Gosh. What are you talking about?
Mr. Dong is a perfectionist who plans everything meticulously.
Even when it comes to dating, I have a feeling...
that he'd follow his head rather than his heart.
Don't you feel that too? You do, right?
- I'm sorry for being late. - Hello.
- Oh, hello. - Hello.
Mr. Dong, I was worried about you.
Did something bad happen?
I stayed in a hospital because I fell a little sick.
You stayed in a hospital?
Why? It's not anything serious like cancer, right?
That's not the case. And I'm fine now.
Mr. Dong, go to President Dong's office.
He said he wanted to see you as soon as you came in.
(Hwang Dong Food, President Dong Kyu Chul)
Assistant Manager Dong Ju Hyuk of the planning team is here, sir.
Let him in.
I heard you asked for me.
Yes. Have a seat.
- You may leave now. - Yes, sir.
You were discharged from the hospital earlier today.
Mi Rae must've helped you.
Well, yes.
Why did you come in instead of going home to rest?
Why don't you get to the point, Father?
I'm glad...
you changed Mi Rae's mind and convinced Chairman Hwang.
You did a good job.
How did you know?
Sorry?
You didn't hire someone to surveil me, did you?
I don't think that's important at this point.
Anyway, I didn't do it to get a compliment from you.
Besides, I haven't gotten Chairman Hwang's permission either.
You shouldn't underestimate him.
The fact that he didn't approve of your marriage right away...
means that he'll take time...
and see if you'll be useful for his family and won't be a threat to Jae Hyun.
If you don't want to be ousted after being used,
stay alert.
Just because you won a mere girl's heart,
that doesn't mean you can take over the company.
Save your advice and just watch me...
take over Hwang Dong Food...
that you desperately desired.
Take over the company first.
Then I'll acknowledge your abilities.
Shall I do that?
Try all you want.
- Hello, ma'am. How may I help you? - Hello.
You see, my daughter just got a job at a large company.
Even as a little child,
everyone said she was so smart and clever.
And she got good grades.
But maybe she wasn't lucky.
Whenever she applied for a job, she failed.
Poor thing. She must've been so stressed out.
I'm so relieved that she finally got a job.
My, you must be very happy. Congratulations.
So I'm looking for something that she can wear to work.
Can you recommend something for me?
- Give me a second, please. - Sure.
What about this one?
Oh, my.
It looks so stylish. It's nice.
Is it expensive?
Mother.
- Mother. - Hey, Kang San.
Give me the bags. They look heavy.
They're not so heavy. I can carry them.
I beat you in the arm-wrestling match, you know.
I know you beat me.
Seeing that I defeat a strong man like you,
I think I've still got it. Don't you think so?
Of course. You're strong enough to be an arm-wrestling champion.
Goodness, you.
I know you made me a fake champion.
- Pardon? - You let me win on purpose.
Didn't you?
Did Ye Ju tell you that?
I may not seem so smart, but I'm quick at catching on to things.
That's how I've been running my business for 30 years.
You can't fool me.
I hope you weren't disappointed...
because I let you win, Mother.
Why would I be disappointed?
I laughed so much that day thanks to you.
But I'll actually beat you next time. Be prepared to lose.
Sure. Go ahead.
Instead, always let me carry groceries for you.
Like this.
I'll use the bag to practice.
Stop it. There's a bottle of liquid sauce.
(Special price: 7,800 dollars)
Nice. This one is perfect.
But it's quite pricey.
I'll add it to my favorites list for now.
Once I'm informed that I got the job,
I'll buy this massage chair with a 36-month installment plan...
and give it to my dear mom as a gift.
Yes! I can do it.
Let's see...
I got a text from Gichan Cosmetics.
(Gichan Cosmetics)
We regret to inform you that you have not been selected.
We hope you will apply again next time.
(Gichan Cosmetics)
"Next time?"
(Gichan Cosmetics)
There will be no next time.
Don't lie to me. I did really well at the interview.
Then why did I fail?
Why didn't I get the job?
- Ye Ju. - Oh, dear.
Hey, did any customers come?
Oh, Mom, you're back. Kang San, how come you're coming with her?
- I met her in the alley on my way here. - Dear me.
- And Mother. - Yes.
Make sure to take me with you next time you go grocery shopping.
It's bad for your knees.
Don't you worry. Ye Ju said she'd buy me a massage chair...
- to celebrate getting a job. - Goodness.
She was so confident when she said that,
so I'm sure she'll get the job. Right, Ye Ju?
What?
Right.
Ye Ju, why are you looking so pale? Are you feeling unwell?
No, of course not. I'm fine.
I'll step out briefly.
Hey... Ye Ju.
- Ye Ju. - Ye Ju.
Hey...
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
- Hold on a second. - Why...
Why won't they pick up?
Hello? This is the HR team of Gichan Cosmetics.
Oh, hello.
This is Lee Ye Ju. My applicant number at the interview was 201.
I'm calling because I'd like to hear the reason why I failed to get the job.
I'm sorry. Due to the company policy,
I'm not allowed to reveal the details of the recruitment process.
No, wait. Please. I'm begging you.
If you could just tell me why I wasn't selected,
it would be very helpful for me when I apply for a job in the future.
I need to know what I lack to improve myself.
Wouldn't you agree?
I'm sorry.
I implore you. Please.
There's nothing else I can tell you. Then goodbye.
Hello?
I mean, I was totally dumbfounded.
- It was ridiculous. - What did you say?
So I said...
(Sun Bakery)
Looks like the bear isn't there today.
That means this is my chance.
Welcome.
(Sun Bakery)
Oh, my. You're here again.
Oh, how nice. You remember me.
Of course, I remember you. Our bread is delicious, right?
Actually, I'm here to see you, not to buy your bread.
You're here to see me?
Why are you so surprised?
I thought we shared the same sense of humor,
so I wanted to come and have a nice chat with you.
Don't people in the neighborhood meet up here to have a chat?
That's true. Our bakery is the perfect place...
to stop by for a cup of tea when you come out or go home.
By the way, you seem innocent like a little girl.
You must've been living a wealthy life with no worries. Am I right?
Do I really look that way?
Yes. In other words, you're like a lily in a greenhouse.
My goodness. A lily?
Or a magnolia flower?
Hey, you're back.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Oh, okay.
By any chance, is he your husband?
My gosh. You think he's my husband?
Oh, my. Did you hear that?
I guess we look like a married couple. My goodness.
Well... Actually...
Oh, I get it. So he's not your husband.
He's not my husband.
He's our baker.
I see. Then do you run this bakery by yourself?
Yes, I run this bakery by myself.
By yourself? Then you must be single.
I'm a single man.
I'm single and have never been married.
Oh, my. That's funny.
There's no way you have no marriage experience at your age.
What's wrong with my age?
Sir, shall I help you choose bread?
No, that's okay. I can choose bread by myself.
- Doo Ho, what do you think? - Yes?
About what?
What else would it be?
About the fact that the customer thought...
we were a married couple.
Oh, that?
This is the only formal outfit she has.
But it's even non-branded.
Oh, goodness.
Oh, I'll have those dry-cleaned along with Sang Soo's suit. Give me those.
Okay. You're right. If Ye Ju gets the job,
she'll start working soon.
- Get these dry-cleaned too. Wait. - Okay.
I didn't check the pockets.
Goodness. Why did I forget to check? There's something in this pocket.
What's this?
Where did she get this receipt?
- Is it a receipt, Mother? - Yes.
But the letters are too small for me to read.
Hey, Jan Di. What did she buy?
"Ultra shiny hair."
She paid 200 dollars?
What? Did you say 200 dollars?
Gosh. Auntie Ye Ju got her hair and makeup at a beauty parlor.
I saw the fake eyelashes on the day of her job interview.
No wonder her makeup looked perfect.
Show me.
- She really went to a beauty parlor. - What?
Oh, my. It makes sense now.
I thought something was different when I saw her hair.
Gosh. I can't believe that wench.
I'm home.
Oh, she's here, Grandma.
Hey, tell me. What's this?
I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know?
Why did you spend so much on your hair when you didn't have any money?
I used the money that Kang San gave me from his first paycheck as a gift.
Gosh. You mean, the cash gift from Kang San?
Ye Ju, did you really spend all that money on your hair?
- My gosh. - I'm sorry, Kang San.
You must've lost your mind.
What were you thinking, you wench?
How could you spend 200 dollars on getting makeup done?
You know how hard Kang San worked to earn that money!
Oh, no. Ye Ju, that's too much.
Your competency and qualifications are what matter in a job interview.
Why did you waste your money on that?
I mean, that wouldn't help you get a job.
Are you not in your right mind?
How could you splurge the money he earned hard on your hair and makeup?
You gave Jan Di an earful...
because she had lost 10,000 dollars every time you saw her.
Do you think you're better than her?
Gosh, you wench.
Oh, boy. Mother!
- Mother, stop it. - Come to your senses, will you?
Please stop it, Mother. She just wanted to get the job.
And since she made so much effort, I'm sure she'll get the job.
Right, Ye Ju? You will, won't you?
Even so, it was wrong of her.
It's not easy to make money.
Listen, you wench. If you fail to get that job,
- I'll teach you a lesson. All right? - Calm down.
Come on. She splurged so much money when she had no job.
I'm sure she'll get the job.
I failed.
What?
What did you just say, Ye Ju?
I didn't get the job, Kang San.
Ye Ju.
What was that? You failed again?
Yes, I failed again.
I, who failed every time,
failed once again!
Auntie Ye Ju.
Right.
I thought it was my last chance.
So I wanted to get the job no matter what.
Neither my education level nor qualifications...
I have nothing better than others.
So I wanted to stand out in some way at the interview.
Ye Ju, try again...
Don't try to comfort me, Kang San!
I'll stop trying to get an office job because I won't succeed.
I mean it.
I'm really tired.
I really want to stop trying.
I don't want to do anything.
My goodness.
- Oh, no. Mother! - Grandma, are you okay?
Gosh. She got ahead of herself and seemed so sure she'd get the job.
I knew it.
Sang Soo!
All right. Fine. You always make me look like a bad person.
Oh, no. That poor thing. I feel so bad for her.
Oh, my poor baby Ye Ju.
Hey, Ye Ju. How did the job interview go?
Oh, that? I got a job.
Chan Ran, think of me as your in-law and your brother from now on.
- What? - I told you...
not to call me until I call you.
Oh, my. Hello.
I won't repeat myself. I should go now.
Your boyfriend caused you so much grief, right?
What?
