(Episode 8)
Until we make it official,
keep it to yourself, Kyu Sun.
My gosh.
Kyu Chul, are you in your right mind?
You couldn't forget Chan Ran even after you got married,
so Ju Hyuk's mother was heartbroken, then she died like that.
Have you forgotten all about it?
Ju Hyuk's mother suffered from delusional jealousy.
Strictly speaking, her delusional jealousy was brought on because of you.
Let's drop this.
And do not bring up Ju Hyuk's mother in front of Chan Ran.
She doesn't know anything.
Of course, Chan Ran doesn't know anything.
Anyway, I understand it's been over 20 years.
But after losing her husband and daughter like that,
Chan Ran talked as though...
she'd just stay single for the rest of her life.
Why did she suddenly change her mind?
I told you to stop.
Fine. We can leave it at that.
But what will you do about Ju Hyuk's pain?
He still doesn't want to talk to you because of what happened.
I told you to please drop it.
It's all true, though.
Ju Hyuk is coming back.
That's why I'm worried.
What? Ju Hyuk is coming home?
That's right. He called and said he was returning to Korea soon.
- Gosh, come on in. - Thanks.
I'm not late, am I?
No, not at all.
Thank you for coming all the way here, Mr. Eun.
Everyone in the family had to go out,
and something suddenly came up for me as well.
The housekeeper happens to be taking the day off too,
and you were the only one I could think of.
I see. I'm glad you called me, Mr. Ok.
Don't worry about a thing. Go ahead and do what you need to do.
I'll quickly take care of it and hurry home.
- Just stay for a couple of hours. - Sure, no problem.
All right, then.
See you.
What a nice house.
Would I ever get to live in a house like this?
Anyway, my nose...
He called me here on the weekend, knowing I nearly broke my nose?
What can I do? I'm a mere employee, darn it.
No, Eun Sang Soo.
For Se Chan's sake,
I must keep my spirits up.
I should seize this chance and see if I can get a promotion.
Sounds like a plan
Mr. Chairman, I am here.
All right.
Why are you here again?
I'm here to look after you, sir.
You should eat.
First,
let me put some striploin on your rice.
All right.
Sir, here.
You must eat well to recover soon.
Chairman Hwang, here you go. Open.
Come on. Open your mouth.
Just a little wider.
Do you think I'm a kid?
Ouch!
- Then... - Yes.
he held my hand and said,
"Mr. Eun, thank you very much."
"I would've starved if it hadn't been for your help."
- He said that. - My gosh!
Then what happened?
What do you mean, what happened?
The thing is,
being called to the chairman's house on the weekend and having to feed him...
It's certainly not an easy task. Right, Mother?
Yes, you're absolutely right.
My gosh, Sang Soo.
Even the chairman fully trusts you.
Sang Soo.
That's so impressive.
To tell you the truth,
the company can't really function without me.
- Right, I bet. - Uncle Sang Soo.
How come you have a black eye?
- What? - What? Really?
Oh, this.
I bumped into something.
- I see. - In any case,
they've been practically begging me...
to find a good caregiver for the chairman.
Working for a family like that, you'd get paid a lot...
for working only a few hours during the day.
It'll be a sweet gig.
How much are we talking?
Well...
Compared to professional caregivers who have to work all day,
you'd get paid twice as much.
- Twice as much? - Yes.
Sang Soo, can you recommend me for the job?
I can quickly make the side dishes in the morning and do that as a side job.
How? You have no experience.
I took care of my grandmother on her sickbed for more than ten years.
I am confident when it comes to taking care of seniors.
It's not something you can take on...
just because you took care of your grandma for a few years.
Also, you need to be certified as a caregiver.
I am a certified caregiver.
I got it when taking care of my grandma.
Come on.
You can't work for the chairman just because you have the certification.
I'll get in trouble if I recommend just about anybody.
Why is my dad "just about anybody?"
And what's so special about that job?
Well, it's...
Jan Di, be quiet when the adults are talking.
Sang Soo.
I'll do a great job and make sure I won't embarrass you in any way.
- So please recommend me... - Wait, hold on.
Kang San, that's enough.
Like Sang Soo said,
what if you end up ruining his career or something?
Do not inconvenience Sang Soo in any way. Okay?
Dad.
Sang Soo, then could you recommend me?
I really want to work for Hwang Dong Food.
A contract position would be fine too.
Come on. You're being like this too?
Stop trying to cheat your way into the company.
Just do what I did. Take the open recruit exam...
if you want to join the company.
Come on! You got your job that way because you're highly qualified. I am...
Gosh, she's right.
Sang Soo, you're a licensed lawyer.
That's why that big company wanted to hire you.
Well, that is true.
Yes.
Hey, Kang San.
Don't pick up a side job.
Just focus on your business.
How will you pick up a side gig when you can't even do one thing well?
Yes, I know.
I know that,
but the landlord increased our deposit.
What? Deposit?
Sang Soo, we're doomed now.
The store's rent deposit suddenly went up by 20,000 dollars.
- Goodness. - Oh, I'm so forgetful.
I have some work to finish off. I totally forgot. Hold on.
Mother, I should get going.
Yes, you must be busy.
I packed some side dishes for you. Make sure you take them.
Oh, you did? Thank you.
Finish your food, guys.
Gosh.
I'm from Horang Art Academy across the street.
We help students prepare for art school and teach adults too,
so come in for a complimentary consultation.
Thank you.
Please visit us. Bye!
Gosh, my legs hurt.
Ms. Ok, I'm sorry for making you work on the weekend.
Let's call it a day.
You can get going first.
I want to finish giving these out.
Come on. I can't leave you here alone.
Don't worry about me. Just go home and rest up.
Well, then please take care of the rest.
- Sure thing. - Take it easy!
Visit Horang Art Academy.
- Hello. Visit Horang Art Academy. - Thank you.
Visit Horang Art Academy.
My gosh, Mi Rae!
I can't believe you're handing out flyers on the street.
I'm glad I ran into you here, Soo Ji.
If Jun Pyo's friends are interested in taking art classes,
recommend Horang Art Academy.
Gosh, forget it.
Goodness. I'm worried I'd run into someone I know.
Please don't embarrass me.
Go hand them out someplace else, will you?
Come on, Soo Ji.
There's nothing embarrassing about this job.
Jun Pyo, doesn't this make you uncomfortable too?
Your friends might see this.
What? Oh, yes. A little.
Okay, Jun Pyo.
I'll see you at home, Soo Ji.
Then I should go that way.
What is she doing?
She really gets on my nerves.
Let's go.
Jan Di just went into her room...
even though she saw the two of us tidying up. That mean brat.
She's still young, you know.
No, she's not. She's all grown up now.
Let's go to Mount Kumgang, its 12,000 peaks
Kang San, Geum Kang San!
- Hey, you. - Hi. Hey, Ye Ju.
It's the weekend. You don't even have a date lined up?
What about you? Do you have a girlfriend?
I had a date with my lovely Ho Soon.
Ho Soon?
He's talking about his car.
Hey, Kang San. I heard you were looking for a job.
Ho Rang must've told you.
That's right.
Why do you suddenly need a side hustle?
Is your business struggling?
Because of Jan Di's vain ambition to join a girl group,
we lost 10,000 dollars in a scam.
What?
Hey, is that why Jan Di ran away from home the other day?
Yes. People always get angry at others for their own mistakes.
She did nothing to be proud of!
That's enough, Ye Ju.
I can take on any job.
Help me find something quickly.
Hey, Kang San.
You have to run your store and take care of Jan Di too.
Can you manage a side job on top of that?
It's totally fine. I can do it!
Yes, you can do it!
Help me out.
You can do it.
Sir, please!
Please pay me.
I really need that money!
Goodness. What a nuisance!
Go home!
Pay me, and I will leave right away.
Pay me, please!
I already told you. I can't pay you.
Why not?
Hye Ri and I cleaned the grills for a whole week!
You have to pay us for the work we did!
Respect your elders, you little brat. How dare you talk back to me?
You won't even pay me. Why should I respect you?
You little...
- Why you little... - What are you doing?
- You brat... - What are you doing? She's a child.
Who are you? Mind your own business!
Me?
Are you her mother?
No.
She's my teacher.
She is my teacher.
Teacher?
You're a teacher?
I must tell you this since you're her teacher.
This girl is a brazen brat!
She lied to me about her age to work part-time at my restaurant.
Then she talked back to me and caused a scene!
It's all because you're refusing to pay me!
You little...
Sir.
Did you check her ID when you hired her?
She said she lost her student ID,
so I didn't bother.
I mean, I couldn't!
You're partially at fault for not checking her ID,
so I suggest you pay her.
If I had gotten caught hiring a minor because of her,
I would've had to have paid a hefty fine.
So why should I pay her?
Not a first-timer, I see.
My point, exactly.
Clearly, this girl has done this many times.
She'll grow up to be nothing but trouble!
No, I'm talking about you.
What?
You changed your business.
You used to run Amazing Porky, the pork belly restaurant.
What? How... How did you know?
Don't you remember me?
Hongin Middle School for Girls, Class 2-2, 12 years ago.
Ok Mi Rae.
You're that crazy part-timer!
The one who dumped poop in front of my restaurant for not getting paid!
Even back then, you worked me like a dog...
and refused to pay me, saying I was a minor.
You're still doing the exact same thing.
What do you say?
Will you pay her? Or...
shall we all go to the police station together?
Here.
Thanks for your hard work,
and I hope I never see you again.
What about my friend's pay?
Hey, Hye Ri! It's me.
I got our pay!
Goodness.
You're doing housework again? I told you to get some rest.
Where is Jan Di?
In her room, probably.
- Ye Ju. - Yes?
What's Jan Di doing in her room?
She's not in the room.
- She's not? - No.
Where did she go again?
Let me call her.
The person you have reached is unavailable. Please leave a message...
She's not picking up.
Don't tell me she ran away from home again.
Hi, Hye Ri. This is Jan Di's dad.
Yes, hi.
Are you with Jan Di now, by any chance?
What? Seriously?
Here.
What? I looked for this everywhere.
You left it here when you ran away from home,
and I held onto it.
Aren't you going to thank me?
Thank you.
And thank you for helping me get paid earlier.
By the way, ma'am...
The way you handled the restaurant owner...
was very impressive.
I guess you hung out with bad kids when growing up.
I chewed some bubblegum and kicked some butts.
Anyway, are you going to keep calling me "ma'am?"
How about you just call me "sister?"
Come on. You're old enough to be my aunt.
"Sister?" Please.
Then just call me "teacher."
My name is Ok Mi Rae,
so you can either call me Teacher Ok or Teacher Mi Rae.
No, I don't want to. It's not like you're actually my teacher.
You called me your teacher earlier.
Well, that was...
Who cares how I address you?
We won't cross paths again anyway.
Sure, do whatever you want then.
By the way,
I have a favor to ask.
What is it? Tell me.
Can you keep what happened today from my dad?
Working part-time in secret.
So you want me to be your accomplice?
My dad is still shocked that I ran away from home.
If he finds out about this, he'll faint from the emotional shock.
There was a reason I needed a part-time job,
but I'll never do it again.
So turn a blind eye to it just this once. Please?
You're more filial than I thought you'd be.
But...
I have a condition too.
- Thank you. - Gosh, this is a lot.
Thank you.
My gosh, Ju Hyuk!
How long has it been since the last time I held you in my arms?
Let me see. Who are your parents?
You look even more elegant now that you're older.
It's all because you raised me well, Auntie Kyu Sun.
I missed you.
Yes, I missed you a lot too.
Kyu Chul, come out. Ju Hyuk is here!
I'm home, Father.
Why are you already back? It's not your mother's death anniversary yet.
You haven't changed one bit, Father.
Hey.
Anyway, welcome back. Go to your room and unpack first.
Okay, Father.
Hey, Ju Hyuk.
You haven't eaten yet, right?
I'll fix you a meal quickly. Come out.
- Okay. - All right.
(Letter of Apology, I will study hard and...)
Here. Are we good now?
"I, Geum Jan Di, deeply regret what I did."
"I will never work part-time again without telling my dad."
You have to keep your promise.
Of course, you have my word.
Geum Jan Di.
Jan Di.
Mr. Geum.
What?
You stabbed me in the back again?
You traitor. You even made me write an apology letter.
No. This time, it really wasn't me.
Jan Di.
I'm the traitor.
Your dad kept looking for you and sounded really worried,
so I had to tell him.
Sorry.
Ms. Ok, I'm sorry she bothered you again.
No. It's fine, Mr. Geum.
Geum Jan Di.
You can't go out without a word. Everyone was worried.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
What?
Gosh. It was on vibrate.
I didn't know you called.
And I heard you worked part-time without telling me.
No, that was a while ago.
I did it to pay for the girl group training program.
Then you should have told me.
Why must you lie and keep secrets from me?
Mr. Geum, she wrote an apology letter.
Why don't you just forgive her this time?
Dad, I'll never lie to you or do something like this again.
I promise.
All right.
I trust you.
Thanks.
Hye Ri, I hope you apologized to your parents too.
- Yes, I did. - Hey, Hye Ri.
Ta-da! Here's your pay.
My gosh. I'll buy you tteokbokki.
Dad, can I go have tteokbokki with Hye Ri?
Okay, but you have to come straight home when you're done.
Okay! Let's go, Hye Ri.
Not a single day goes by without trouble.
Right. I brought you some seaweed chips from my store.
Try it.
Thank you so much for helping Jan Di.
This will go very well with tea.
You must've been really worried about Jan Di.
Would you like a cup of tea?
Shall we have some tea?
Sure, one moment.
My goodness.
I wonder if Ms. Ok has finished handing out the flyers.
You can't even get up to get your own water.
How dare you complain?
After Mom and Dad moved out to the country,
you were living all alone like a recluse, and I kindly came to your rescue.
What?
You suddenly barged in after you got a divorce...
and destroyed my peaceful life.
Stop whining, will you? Just help Kang San find a job.
He must really be struggling for him to look for a side job.
It's all Jan Di's fault.
She was preoccupied with wanting to join a girl group...
that the family lost 10,000 dollars in a scam.
What? Ten thousand dollars?
His wife ran away ten years ago, and he doesn't even know if she's alive.
On top of that, his daughter is such a troublemaker.
Gosh, Kang San is so unlucky.
I feel bad for Jan Di, knowing the situation with her mother.
That's why Kang San is so protective of her.
He's always so scared Jan Di would get hurt.
He'd do anything for her.
Gosh, he's such a fool.
It's because he loves his child. It's only natural.
Why are you saying that?
You don't need to know.
What is going on?
What is it?
Hey, what is it?
My goodness.
Oh, right! I left my laptop at the academy.
Darn it.
Hey, go pick it up for me.
Hurry!
- Goodness. - What are you waiting for?
You little...
- Hurry! - I have to make dinner.
Hey! Then make dinner and go pick it up!
You were a troublemaker?
No way. I can't picture you causing trouble.
When I was around Jan Di's age,
I really struggled.
I ran away from home numerous times and always caused trouble.
I was way worse than Jan Di.
Really?
Seeing you now, I really have a hard time picturing it.
My mom put up with a lot to help me turn over a new leaf.
She never gave up on me.
What a wonderful mother. I need to learn from her.
I think you're a wonderful father too, Mr. Geum.
I can feel how much you love and care for Jan Di.
My gosh, no. I still have a long way to go.
My goodness.
What?
- Ho Rang. - Ms. Jang.
What are you two doing here at this hour?
Ms. Ok, you said you wanted to finish handing out the flyers.
What are you doing here?
Well... What happened was...
Ms. Ok helped Jan Di.
Jan Di? What do you mean?
Jan Di would've gotten into trouble if Ms. Ok hadn't been there to help her.
Ms. Ok helped Jan Di when she was fighting...
to get her unpaid wages.
Oh, really?
Ms. Ok, you're nosier than I thought.
Sorry? I'm nosy?
What? Well...
Not being able to ignore others' problems.
It's such an admirable strength.
Oh, thank you.
Anyway, Ho Rang.
I am worried about Jan Di's career path.
Why? Has she given up on joining a girl group?
Yes, she decided to give up.
But the thing is,
I need to help her find something she can focus on,
and it's not easy.
How about art?
She loved the art classes at my academy when she was little.
Oh, you're right.
Why hadn't I thought of that?
Ask Jan Di about it and see what she says.
Okay, I will. Thanks for your advice, Ho Rang.
I had a great time today.
Why didn't you tell Chairman Hwang? It would've made his day.
You see, about our relationship...
For now, let's keep it a secret between us.
I've been single for way too long,
so I may not be able...
to keep up the pace with you.
That's fine. You finally opened up to me,
so just don't shut me off again.
Chan Ran, there's a petal in your hair.
A petal?
- Where? - You almost got it.
Here?
A petal on a flower. No wonder it's hard to find.
Gosh, stop it.
Mom.
My gosh.
Hey, Mi Rae.
- You're getting home just now? - Yes.
Hello, President Dong.
I heard you got a job. Is it not stressful?
I'm busy adjusting,
but it's fun to teach kids.
Good. Feel free to call me whenever you need my help.
Thank you.
It's getting late. You should get going.
Yes, I'll be off then.
Drive safely, President Dong.
He seems a little different today.
What? In what way?
He was kinder to me today,
and he looked even more dashing than usual.
He must be seeing someone.
Right, Mom?
I'm not sure.
Hey, it's the weekend. You were at the academy all day?
Yes, some stuff happened.
I guess you and President Dong had to go somewhere together?
Oh, yes.
We had to discuss some things regarding the foundation.
Gosh, it's chilly.
Let's go inside.
(Apple of My Eye)
If you can't afford it, move out!
Wait, sir!
I know of the most perfect caregiver...
for Chairman Hwang.
I am Geum Kang San. I'm here for my interview.
Ms. Choi.
Jan Di's dad? What are you doing here?
