Kang San, I got this for you.
Thanks, Sang Soo.
Why are you thanking me? I should thank you.
Had they picked Mr. Dong's proposal,
I would've been kicked out to a different team.
Really? For real?
Anyway, Kang San.
You were so well-spoken earlier.
Since when were you such an eloquent speaker?
Gosh, stop it.
I know what Mr. Geum did was wrong,
but Mr. Dong grabbing you by the collar like that was out of line.
In any case, you beat Mr. Dong...
and taught him a good lesson.
It's even more refreshing than this soda.
Seriously, way to go!
Seeing you happy makes me happy.
You know, Kang San...
About your idea.
If you get a chance,
can you tell the chairman that I inspired you to come up with the idea?
If you could do that, it'd really help me out.
Yes, sure.
But isn't that a lie?
Come on. Don't be so square.
It's called a good lie, Kang San.
"A good lie?" Okay.
There you are.
Mr. Geum.
Can we talk? Just the two of us.
Yes, sure.
(Hwang Dong Food)
What does Mr. Dong have to say that he dragged Kang San away like that?
It's making me anxious.
Goodness.
They're taking another coffee break.
Fine. This company...
shall be protected by Generation X.
Oh, boy.
Let's get some work done.
Hello, Mr. Eun.
Oh! My gosh, Mi Rae.
Who are you here to see?
Mr. Dong? Mr. Ok?
I'm here to see Ju Hyuk.
Oh, no. Mr. Dong pulled my brother-in-law aside for a 1-on-1...
and took him to the rooftop.
He's having a 1-on-1 with Jan Di's father?
Yes. Mr. Dong was like, "Follow me to the rooftop, you little..."
I'm sorry.
Mr. Geum Kang San.
Let me give you a piece of advice.
They picked your idea because you lucked out.
Don't even think of using it as an excuse to stir things up...
in the company. Do you understand?
Why would I try to stir things up in the company?
Don't forget that you're Chairman Hwang's caregiver.
You don't work for Hwang Dong Food.
You're a caregiver.
I only offered my help with the project...
because I was concerned about Chairman Hwang's health as his caregiver.
Like you said,
I plan to stay focused on my job...
as Chairman Hwang's caregiver,
so you can put your worries to rest.
You're clever.
But you know what?
I can see right through you.
While working as a caregiver,
you're trying to win over Chairman Hwang...
to move up in the world.
"To move up in the world?"
Mr. Dong.
Fine.
I don't care what you do.
Just don't meddle in my plans.
Then I won't meddle in your business either.
Ju Hyuk!
Hello.
Hello, Mr. Geum.
Mi Rae, how did you find me here?
I went to your office, and Mr. Eun told me you'd be here.
Anyway, what were you two talking about?
What?
You two seemed to be having a serious conversation.
I hope you're not holding a grudge about what Jan Di's grandpa did.
No, it wasn't a serious conversation.
We weren't talking about anything important.
Well, I'll leave you two to talk. I'll head down, then.
What were you two talking about?
Did you hear?
Instead of my proposal,
his idea was chosen.
No.
My grandpa picked his idea?
Yes, so I gave him a piece of advice.
I told him to focus...
on his job as a caregiver and not to overstep his bounds.
Overstep his bounds?
Mr. Geum isn't like that.
I'm sure he was just trying his best to help my grandpa.
Mi Rae.
Are you taking his side right now?
Do you not even care about my feelings?
Ju Hyuk, I'm upset too.
I know very well how hard you worked on it.
So I totally understand how you must feel right now.
You understand?
Yes, I understand.
But it'd be wrong...
to be rude to Mr. Geum just because of that.
Ju Hyuk.
Let's drop this.
I want to be alone today.
Ju Hyuk!
(Sun Bakery)
Aren't you going home, Ms. Dong?
You know,
I can't forget you and move on no matter how hard I try.
Sorry?
Can't we give it a shot and see how it goes, Doo Ho?
Or do you dislike me that much?
Why do you dislike me?
It's not that. Why would I dislike such a wonderful person like you?
I swear, that is not the case at all.
But you don't have any feelings for me.
Why are you sighing?
I'm the one who wants to sigh right now.
I'm so anxious because I have no idea how you feel.
This really is driving me crazy.
Ms. Dong.
Can I tell you something?
Yes, go for it.
Here.
Hurry up and tell me.
You see...
I'm single now.
But to tell you the truth, I've been married before.
And I have a daughter too.
You've been married before and have a daughter too?
Then did you divorce your ex-wife?
No, she passed away.
And I parted ways with my daughter when she was little.
I see.
Unlike me, you've been married before.
Also, Ms. Dong...
You wanted to know where I learned my baking skills.
Yes, I did.
But it doesn't matter.
Well, I learned the skills...
in prison.
What? Prison?
Yes, that's right.
When I was still immature,
I hung out with bad people for a while...
and got into a fight.
That's how I ended up in prison.
How could I dream of being with you...
as a man with such a past?
Are you all right, Ms. Dong?
So that's why you've been pushing me away?
Yes, I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.
No, it's okay.
It's just that I never imagined you'd have such a past.
In any case,
now that I've heard your story...
I'm so shocked that my mind is drawing a blank right now.
Well, I'm leaving for the day.
Please tidy up.
- Sure thing, Ms. Dong. - Thank you.
- Bye. - Bye.
Spiritual enlightenment. I must focus on achieving spiritual enlightenment.
Grandpa.
Here's the letter set.
Perfect. Thanks, Jan Di.
Why do you need a letter set? To whom are you writing?
Oh, there's nothing like a heartfelt handwritten letter...
to move and pacify someone...
who's mad at you.
I asked you whom you were writing to.
Why are you trying to change the subject?
Oh, just someone. A friend of mine.
It must be your girlfriend.
Will she be my grandma soon?
Possibly.
By the way, why did you suddenly move to Mr. Kim's room?
Well, it was very uncomfortable to share a room...
with two other men including your uncle.
Besides, Mr. Kim said...
that he felt lonely alone and practically begged me...
to come and stay with him.
Oh, I see.
Now that you're staying with Mr. Kim in his room,
I feel like you're so far away even though we live under the same roof.
It makes me sad.
My dear Jan Di, you're the only one who cares about me.
I'll come over for meals...
and visit you often, so don't be sad.
Okay.
Oh, Father.
Dad, you're back.
- Yes. - Uncle Sang Soo, you're here too.
Hi, Jan Di. I'm home too.
- Oh, you're out here? - Yes.
You guys came home together?
- Father, the thing is... - Well...
He visited the office today with Chairman Hwang.
Is that so? You even got to visit the office?
You're a successful man now, son.
Father. You and Doo Ho are getting along, right?
Hey, he's not even home yet.
Let me say this again.
You'd better not inconvenience Doo Ho in any way.
Hey, whose son are you?
Are you Mr. Kim's son or mine?
Please, Mr. Geum.
Kang San is saying these things for your own sake.
Would you please listen to him?
If you listen to him, good things will fall into your lap.
Kang San, I'll head in first.
- Hurry up and come inside. - Okay.
We should have carp bread with everyone. Bloop.
- Oh, my. - It's still warm.
I must tell you all...
that I bought the carp bread for everyone.
Okay, we heard you.
Two per person, right?
My, Ye Ju. You can calculate so quickly.
Uncle Sang Soo.
Is it really true that the company is making a new porridge product...
based on Dad's idea?
Yes, I told you.
His idea beat the proposal prepared by the president's son.
He totally took him down a peg.
Thanks to him, I had something to boast about at work.
I felt so proud.
No wonder. That's why you're so nice to Kang San today.
Hold on. The president's son?
That means he is Ms. Dong's nephew, right?
Knowing what he's done to Kang San,
I must say it serves him right.
It serves him right? What do you mean, Auntie Ye Ju?
My goodness. It's nothing, Jan Di.
Anyway, you're so impressive, Kang San.
Not at all.
All I did was tell the chairman some ideas I had.
Don't be so modest. It is impressive indeed.
If you were an employee,
you'd get promoted...
and get a nice bonus too.
They have to do something for him even if he's not an employee.
Kang San, didn't the chairman's family say they'd compensate you somehow?
Father, please.
Grandpa's right, Dad. Aren't they giving you a bonus?
Why, Jan Di? Is there something you want?
No, not at all.
Jan Di.
I bet you want to go to Pink Blue's concert.
No, the tickets are very expensive.
Besides, it's nearly impossible to get a ticket.
I don't understand Grandfather.
I can't believe he picked Mr. Geum's idea.
Right. When I heard about it earlier, I was surprised too.
But now that I know what the idea entails, I understand his decision.
Right, I do agree with you.
But it sure stirred everyone up at work today.
As for me,
it doesn't really matter as I only helped Ju Hyuk with his proposal,
but I bet Ju Hyuk was shocked by the decision.
How was Ju Hyuk, Mi Rae?
Well, he wasn't happy.
Hold on. Honey, did you check in on Jun Pyo earlier?
What do you mean?
Are you keeping tabs on him?
- No, I left him alone for too long. - What?
- Move aside. - What?
- Hey, Soo Ji. - What...
Goodness. Mi Rae, you really shouldn't raise your child like that.
Your child will feel smothered.
- Goodness. - Okay, Jae Hyun. I won't.
Jan Di is Pink Blue's avid fan.
I'll click like mad and get a ticket...
so she can go to the concert.
Ticket sales will open in 50 seconds.
Okay.
My dear son, how was the art academy?
Was it okay?
I like it, Mom.
What do you like?
Just everything about it.
If Jan Di tries to bully you,
you have to tell me right away. Okay?
Okay.
Anyway, what were you doing on your laptop?
What?
Open it and show me.
No. Please respect my privacy.
Your privacy?
Don't tell me you watch weird stuff on it when you're alone, Jun Pyo.
No, never.
Never, I swear!
Stop drinking.
Mind your own business.
Only drink when you're happy.
It's harmful to drink when you're upset.
I'd rather deal with you yelling at me.
Just swear at me and call me pathetic...
for letting a nobody like him beat me.
That would make me feel more at ease.
Ju Hyuk.
I know how hard you worked on your proposal.
Of course, I still can't approve of your motive for doing so.
In any case, I'm also disappointed...
that all your hard work has gone down the drain.
Pour me one.
This means...
Mi Rae is very important to you now.
Do not lose her.
I'm single now.
But to tell you the truth, I've been married before.
And I have a daughter too.
When I was still immature,
I hung out with bad people for a while...
and got into a fight.
That's how I ended up in prison.
Yes, it's okay that Doo Ho has been married before...
and has a daughter. I get it.
But he's an ex-con?
That's something I really can't handle.
Gosh, what should I do?
Why do I feel so bad for Doo Ho?
This really is driving me nuts.
Dong Kyu Sun, don't go crazy.
You must pull yourself together.
"My love, Kyu Sun."
"Aren't you having trouble falling asleep, just like I am?"
"Cutting you out of my life..."
"is as painful as ripping my heart out."
"Racked with excruciating pain,"
"I write each letter to tell you how I truly feel."
"My love for you..."
"is deeper than the vast Pacific Ocean and..."
Deeper...
Darn it. I'm stuck.
Deeper...
Hey, man.
Why the long face?
You look like you just got dumped by some woman.
What's that in your hand?
Isn't it obvious?
A love letter.
What?
Was my pronunciation too good?
It's my love letter for Kyu Sun.
She told you that she didn't like you.
Stop bugging my boss, will you?
I do not appreciate the way you put it.
Who's bugging her?
I guess you don't know.
Your boss and I...
had a park date,
threw some coins into a fountain together,
and even had pizza together.
We've done it all. You have no idea.
I know you took her out on a date,
but that was when you lied to her...
that you had never been married before.
Exactly.
Hence this handwritten letter.
I wronged her, so I should write to her...
to earn her forgiveness.
And speaking of which...
I have yet to meet a woman...
who didn't love my letter.
As soon as they start reading it,
they're literally moved to tears, right from the beginning.
You see hearts in their eyes...
bursting like water balloons.
You have no idea.
Deceiving women and toying with their feelings...
is nothing to brag about.
What? I toyed with them?
Enough of your nonsense. Hand over the letter.
What are you doing? It's my letter.
Whether I make a move on Kyu Sun or not, it's none of your business.
Stop, wait! Hold on a moment.
Then will you hand it over?
I can hand it over.
But I can write another one right away.
What will you do?
Hold on.
Anyway, Mr. Kim.
You're acting weird today.
Why are you so on edge today?
"On edge?"
Well...
You never talk this much.
No way.
Don't tell me you're interested in my Sunny.
Stop talking nonsense. Just go to bed.
What was that?
Something's definitely up with him.
Something's fishy.
Father, you seem to be feeling great today.
You ate very well too.
Yes.
Now that the issue with the instant porridge has been resolved,
I feel relieved and relaxed.
I slept like a baby last night.
Yes. Mr. Geum helped us out big-time.
Grandfather, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better.
However, I'm not sure how I feel...
about Mr. Geum's idea getting picked instead of the premium porridge.
I know that Ju Hyuk worked very hard on it too.
Well, I did choose Geum Kang San's idea,
but Jae Hyun and Ju Hyuk will lead the actual project.
Then shall we invite Ju Hyuk over for a meal this weekend?
As a way of encouraging him.
Really, Mom?
Yes, of course!
Mother, the housekeeper will be on vacation.
Who will cook?
Well, I'll do it.
My goodness. You, Mother?
You don't even know how to cut a radish.
Hey! You don't think I can prepare a meal?
I will prepare a nice meal for my future son-in-law,
so don't be surprised.
Okay, Mother. I'll look forward to it.
Gosh, look at her.
Mom, don't worry. I'll help you.
Okay.
Hello!
Hi, come on in.
Hello, sir.
Mr. Geum, thank you for coming up with such a great idea.
I just wanted to help Mr. Chairman. That's all.
Sir, would you like some sujeonggwa?
Sure. Bring it to my room.
Yes, sir.
Yes, come in.
Sir, I brought you some sujeonggwa.
All right, thanks. Put it here and sit down.
Yes, sir.
Here, take this.
What is this, sir?
I'd like to compensate you for your idea.
To thank you for all your hard work so far,
I put in a little extra.
You'll be pleased with the amount.
Mr. Geum, thank you for everything.
My father wants to express his gratitude, so please take it.
Come on. Take it.
I cannot accept this money, sir.
What? Why not?
I'll be honest. I'd love to take the money,
but I don't think I should.
Why won't you accept it?
I came up with the idea...
because I was worried that being too focused on work...
could ruin your health,
not because I was hoping for compensation.
I just wanted to help you...
as your caregiver, sir.
I see.
But if we don't do anything about it and just let it go,
we'll feel uneasy.
Monetary compensation...
will make me feel uneasy too, ma'am.
Gosh, you're so stubborn.
Just so you know, I'm very stubborn too.
We can't just let this go,
so if there's anything else you want, just tell us.
Pardon me? What do you mean, sir?
For example...
Is there anything I can do...
to help you with your business?
No, sir. It's really okay.
My goodness.
Mr. Geum, you don't have to tell us right now.
Why don't you take some time and think about it?
I'm sure you know by now...
that my father isn't the type to just give up.
Right, I'm aware.
Haeng Bok.
It was shameless of me...
to develop feelings for Ms. Dong.
I should dedicate the rest of my life...
to atoning for abandoning my own child.
Hello.
Oh. Hello, Ms. Ok.
Whose picture is that?
Oh, it's a picture of my daughter.
That's right.
Jan Di's father told me that you had a daughter.
I see.
Anyway, I guess you had to go somewhere.
I went to the art supply store to pick up some paint and brushes.
I came out to buy something too. I had to pick up some fresh cream.
I'm just taking a break because it's too hot.
I don't do well with the heat.
Oh! Same here.
When it's hot, I feel lethargic and weak.
Then may I sit down too?
Sure, of course.
- Mr. Kim. - Yes.
About the children's home.
How did you start volunteering there?
The nun and I go back a long way.
The current abbess.
- I see. - Yes.
The sky is so clear today.
The breeze feels so refreshing too.
Doesn't it?
Yes, it does.
Stay still.
- Okay. - Kang San.
You've been spending a lot of time with Jan Di's art teacher.
Stop taking Mi Rae's classes at once.
You doing this will only make people suspect you more.
Is Mr. Dong seeing that woman?
If you want,
I can hire you for a permanent position at Hwang Dong Food.
Grandpa.
A permanent position, sir?
