(Episode 80)
Are you all right?
Oh, I... Yes, I'm fine.
I'm sorry you had to get into a fight because of me.
It's okay. Don't worry about me.
By the way, Mr. Geum.
Yes?
Well...
My family members don't know...
that I broke up with my boyfriend yet.
So for the time being,
can you pretend you don't know?
Of course. Please don't worry too much.
Then I'll get going now. I should go to work.
See you later, then.
Did I sprain my wrist slightly?
It hurts so much.
Gosh. I'm worried.
You're back here, sir.
Hello. The towels that I bought last time were very soft.
The kids liked those.
So I'd like to place an additional order.
I see. Then what about this one?
I think it's very good for children to use.
I agree.
I'll take this. Please give me ten boxes of it.
- Of course. Please give me a moment. - Thanks.
Oh, man. Should I put a pain relief patch, at least?
Mr. Geum, are you hurt?
No, it's not like that. My wrist is a bit sore. That's all.
Your wrist?
Did you have a fist fight again?
A fist fight? Gosh, no.
I see.
Well... By the way, I heard about what happened to your family.
Pardon me?
I'm talking about the tragic news about your wife.
Despite all that, Mr. Geum, cheer up.
They say that life is full of ups and downs.
Who knows? Good things might happen to you soon,
and you might find a good woman.
Right. Thank you for your thoughtful words.
You see, my husband would never be like you.
If I went missing, he wouldn't even wait for ten years.
He would get remarried in less than ten months.
For that, I totally respect you.
I'm flattered.
Well... Also, bring your daughter Jan Di sometime.
I'll treat you two to a meal at an expensive restaurant.
I'll let you two enjoy such fancy food...
that you can never afford...
to comfort you guys.
Thank you for your kind offer.
Then I'll leave you to your work.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
What has gotten into her? I'm surprised.
Oh, he's back.
Hey, Mr. Kim, where did you go?
Kyu Sun was so curious about where you went.
(Sun Bakery)
I had to go to someplace.
Did you meet your secret girlfriend other than Kyu Sun?
Doo Ho, that's not the case, right?
I bought some gifts for the kids at the children's home.
Oh, my. Then I guess in the bags in your hands,
there are things you'll donate to the children's home.
Yes. I'll deliver these to them when I have free time.
- I see. - What do you mean he'll donate those?
Doo Ho volunteers at a children's home on a regular basis.
You even make a donation on top of making bread for them.
My dear Doo Ho is so great.
My dear Doo Ho is a donation angel.
I'm not an angel.
An angel, my foot. He looks like a warrior to me.
Anyway, if there's a nice girl you know,
set up a blind date.
Oh, my. Charlie, are you going to get married?
I'm talking about my son, not me.
Now that it's been confirmed that his wife passed away,
shouldn't he start afresh?
Didn't you say you had someone in mind to be your future daughter-in-law?
Well, I had someone in mind, but Kang San wouldn't open up to her.
She ended up giving up on him.
She used to call me like this. "Father." I miss her nasally voice.
She hasn't called me in a while.
But you know the old saying that goes, "Old shoes are easiest."
Rather than trying to find someone new,
why don't you help her get with your son once again?
Well, that makes sense.
Right.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Come in.
(President Dong Kyu Chul)
Assistant Manager Dong Ju Hyuk from the planning team is here, sir.
Just call me if you want to see me.
Don't make your assistant do it for you.
- You may leave. - Yes, sir.
(President Dong Kyu Chul)
What happened to your face?
Nothing. I just bumped into something.
I see.
How did the talk with Mi Rae go?
You even went to her house to see her,
but couldn't change her mind?
She won't give me a chance.
Seeing that Chairman Hwang hasn't made any moves yet,
Mi Rae must not have told her family.
I'm sure she's afraid of the shock they will get.
But it's a matter of time until she tells her family.
So what's your plan?
I'm going to meet Chairman Hwang...
to urge him to expedite your wedding.
In the meantime, you should convince or beg Mi Rae...
to change her mind no matter what. Got it?
Yes, Father.
(President's Office)
(Hwang Dong Food)
Oh, Mr. Dong.
Yes.
You see, when I was in college,
I was like a celebrity at the college festival.
Not only because of my handsome face, but also my great sense of humor,
I was considered the best.
That being said, I'll host your wedding ceremony.
You'll host my wedding ceremony? That's okay.
Wait. Then instead...
I'm also good at singing and dancing.
How about I sing or dance at your wedding?
- I'll get going. See you. - See?
But I'm good at it.
I really can do it. See? Look at my dazzling popping dance moves.
President Dong.
I'm good at it.
(Horang Art Academy)
How have you all been?
Oh, my. Father.
Hello.
Oh, Ms. Ok, you're here too.
Wait. Jan Di hasn't come yet, right?
She'll be here a while later.
Then let's have an in-depth conversation before she comes.
An in-depth conversation?
The topic is Kang San.
You didn't really give up on him, did you?
Pardon?
He's officially single now.
You don't want to give up and let him go, do you?
I've been wanting to talk to you about that matter.
Ms. Ok, I'll leave it to you now.
Of course.
Let's go to my office, Father.
Sounds good. Let's go.
So...
You do want to try again to get with Kang San, right?
Of course.
I mean, I made a lot of effort to win you and Kang San over.
It wouldn't be fair if I have to give up just like this.
Exactly. You were so nice to me as well.
Ho Rang, I'll help you more actively this time.
So try to get with Kang San again.
To be honest, I really want to do so, but...
I mean, I can deal with Jan Di,
but I'm not sure I can handle Auntie Hong Do.
Just because I was in love with Kang San,
I got humiliated by Auntie Hong Do so many times.
Whenever I close my eyes, I still have a nightmare...
where she pulls my hair.
Don't worry about that.
I mean, it's been confirmed that Sun Ju passed away.
She wouldn't stop you from dating him again.
Oh, right. You have a point.
If she does that again, that means she has no conscience.
Exactly.
- No conscience. - Right.
(Horang Art Academy)
Father.
My daughter-in-law.
Mom.
Why did you come out?
You can't seem to stop sighing and look tired.
Go home now. I'll watch the store, okay?
Jan Di, go home with your grandma now.
She said she was feeling cooped up. That's why we came out.
Still, go home.
A thief might break into our house if no one is home.
Is there anything valuable to be stolen there?
Yes, Grandma. Uncle Sang Soo's coupons.
You're right. Those are Sang Soo's precious treasures.
Oh, dear. But since I ate some food, I feel a little bit better.
Oh, right. You said Mr. Geum had cooked ramyeon for you.
I'm surprised he did.
It sure is something you wouldn't expect him to do.
Anyway, just as Mr. Geum said, when you have no appetite,
ramyeon is better than rice. I realized that it was true.
Oh, my.
Grandma, I'll meet a friend before going home.
A friend? Who?
Well... Just a friend.
Hey, you're acting suspiciously. Who is that?
Is it Hye Ri?
Yes. It's Hye Ri.
Then I'll see you at home, Grandma and Auntie Ye Ju.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
I don't think she's meeting Hye Ri.
Goodness. Leave her be.
She's almost 16. You know how kids at her age are like.
Since it's been brought up, Mom...
About Kang San...
Shouldn't he meet someone new...
and start afresh now?
What? Already?
Hey, it's been only a few days since we sent off Sun Ju.
That was her belated funeral. Strictly speaking,
he already lost Sun Ju ten years ago. Am I wrong?
Well... I don't even know.
I should go home to rest.
Talking about Kang San's remarriage...
must be getting her tired again.
What? We should set the date for their wedding?
Yes, Chairman Hwang.
Since you approved of their marriage,
and the two families know each other well,
I don't see why we should put it off.
That's true.
But should we set the date already? It feels so sudden.
Chan Ran, Ju Hyuk and Mi Rae have known each other since they were little.
They know each other so well like siblings.
Then why should they wait any longer?
Wouldn't you agree, sir?
Even so, Kyu Chul,
shouldn't we take our time and make the decision carefully?
I agree with her.
Why are you rushing their wedding so much?
When autumn comes and the weather becomes cool,
we can think about it then.
Sir, as I said the last time we discussed this matter,
since we're about to launch our new instant porridge product,
we need to focus on work more than any other time.
If Ju Hyuk settles down with Mi Rae soon,
it'd help him focus on his work in many ways.
Also, I've seen many couples around me...
who ruined their relationships because of misunderstandings or fights...
as their dating period went on for a long time.
Therefore, I'm asking you, sir.
Please consider it carefully.
Chan Ran. Wait, no.
Should I address you as my in-law now?
I know I should address you as my in-law now,
but it still feels quite awkward, Kyu Chul.
Why would it feel awkward?
Once your father decides on the kids' wedding date,
we'll become in-laws.
Hello.
Kyu Chul, I need to discuss it with Mi Rae first.
She seems very concerned whenever we talk about her marriage.
She must be having pre-wedding blues.
Many women feel anxious before their weddings, you know.
If that's the case, shouldn't you assure her as her family...
that her marriage will be happy?
Is that right?
By the way, why are you still standing here?
Well... The thing is...
Kyu Chul.
Mr. Geum was going to give Father his medication,
but I think we were in his way.
Right?
Yes, you can say that.
Then I'll get going now.
I'll see you off.
Ms. Ok...
probably doesn't know things are going this fast.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Oh, my. Kang San, are you just getting back?
You're very late today.
Yes. I had to wash the chairman's blankets.
Oh, dear. You work all day long as a caregiver and at the store.
You work so much that you'll get old so quickly.
Come on. It's not that hard.
Since such a reliable person like you work here,
I have nothing to worry about.
Right. I'm not bad at all.
- That's not true. - What?
You're amazing.
Where's Mother? Did she go somewhere?
Well... Mom went home early.
I see.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Kang San.
I'm so relieved.
I thought something bad had happened to you.
- I was so worried about you. - Ouch.
Oh, no. What's wrong?
Did you get hurt?
I think he overworked his wrists while washing the chairman's blankets.
By the way, Ho Rang.
Why were you worried about Kang San when he was fine?
I mean, I called you many times, Kang San.
But you didn't pick up.
I was sure that it wasn't that you were ignoring my calls.
So I was worried...
if you had overworked yourself and fainted on the street like last time.
I was worried to death.
You called me? Wait. I didn't get any calls...
My phone.
Where is it?
What? Oh, no. Kang San, did you lose your phone?
Gosh. I can't lose it because my contract hasn't ended yet.
I'll try calling my phone.
- Okay. - Hurry up, Kang San.
Hello? This is the owner of the phone.
Oh, Ms. Choi. It's me, Geum Kang San.
Oh, my phone was there? Yes, I'll go pick it up right now.
Yes.
Is it at the chairman's house?
Yes. Ho Rang, I'm sorry. I think I should leave now.
Okay. You have no choice.
Then I'll get going too. Let's leave together, okay?
- Okay. Shall we? - Yes. Let's go.
Ye Ju, I'll be off.
No, wait.
Wait a minute, Ho Rang.
Why?
Why are you leaving like this?
Aren't you here to buy some side dishes?
I, Intern Lee Ye Ju of Hong Do's Side Dishes,
will recommend you delicious side dishes.
Right. Ho Rang, get some good side dishes.
What? Well...
Then shall I do that?
Ye Ju, treat her like our best customer.
Of course. Don't worry, Kang San.
Then see you later, Ho Rang.
Okay.
I hope to see you again very soon, Kang San.
Ho Rang!
Gosh, you startled me. What's wrong with you?
Are you flirting with Kang San again? Is that it?
Yes. I'm trying to get with Kang San again. Why?
My goodness. You even bluntly said you were trying to get with him?
Kang San is officially single, you know.
What's the problem?
That's true.
But my mom is still grieving...
over Sun Ju.
Refrain yourself, will you?
Well... Fine.
But Ye Ju, you should know that things have changed.
Anyone, other than me, could ask him out. Don't you know that?
So? What's your point?
Rather than a stranger,
wouldn't I be better as his girlfriend since you've known me for a long time?
Well... Better the devil you know? Is that what you're trying to say?
Exactly.
I promise you I'll be good to Kang San and Jan Di.
And to you and Auntie Hong Do as well.
Ye Ju, come on.
Gosh. Don't do that.
Thank you, Ms. Choi.
By the way, where did you put my phone?
Oh, that. Well...
Where did I put Mr. Geum's phone?
Pardon?
I remember putting it somewhere in the kitchen.
Suddenly, I can't remember it.
I've been so stressed out lately from many things...
and became forgetful.
You know that your family is responsible to some extent, right?
Ms. Choi, then can I borrow your phone for a moment?
If my phone rings, I think I can find it more easily.
Goodness. No way. It's my privacy.
How can I let you use my phone?
I just need it for a second.
No. Not just for a second.
It has all my call records and text messages.
You can see everything on my phone.
Don't even dream of it.
Then how am I supposed to find my phone?
It's not like your phone can move around by itself.
It should be somewhere around here. Search every corner.
I should go out now to attend the family meeting.
A family meeting?
Oh, that's why Mr. Dong is here.
That's none of your business.
Anyway, good luck with your search.
I'm home.
Come on in, Mi Rae.
Hi, Mi Rae.
Mi Rae, I'm here.
Ju Hyuk, what are you doing here at such a late hour?
I asked him to come over.
Pardon?
Oh, my. I guess you didn't know Ju Hyuk would come.
I didn't tell her...
because I didn't want to interrupt her work.
Mi Rae, why are you standing there?
Go on and sit with Ju Hyuk.
Yes, Grandpa.
Now that Mi Rae is here too, I'll tell you what this is about.
Grandfather.
Seeing that you organized this meeting and even invited Ju Hyuk,
it must be an important announcement.
Soo Ji, just let him talk.
But Mother, Jae Hyun is supposed to be with us at this important meeting,
but he couldn't make it.
Soo Ji, you should tell Jae Hyun about the announcement later.
Yes, Grandfather.
Mi Rae and Ju Hyuk,
get married until the end of next month.
Grandpa.
Thank you.
Mi Rae.
But... Grandfather, isn't that too soon?
There are so many things to prepare for a wedding.
Soo Ji is right, Father. Next month is too soon.
How about they get married in autumn, about three months later?
Just as President Dong said, there's no reason to drag it on.
Since it's not the first wedding in our family,
they can have a small wedding.
Ju Hyuk, what do you think?
I could marry Mi Rae right this moment because I love her so much.
That's settled then.
Then Mi Rae, you should start preparing for your wedding since it's been decided.
Well... I think...
Mi Rae wants to take her time and prepare for her wedding properly.
As long as the couple loves each other,
they can hold a wedding even with no guests.
What's the big deal about it? Why must we invite a lot of people...
and make a fuss?
You're right, sir. A small wedding is popular these days.
And I believe we should set an example by avoiding unnecessary formality...
as the members of the Hwang Dong Food family.
Mi Rae, what do you think?
Mi Rae, why are you all quiet?
Is it that you're so excited that you can't even speak?
Well... Grandpa.
Go ahead and tell me. How do you feel now that your dream came true?
I...
won't marry him.
Mi Rae.
- Mi Rae. - Mi Rae.
You won't marry him? What do you mean by that?
Why was my phone in the fridge?
Did Ms. Choi put it in there to pull a prank on me...
I'm sure that's not what happened.
Mi Rae! Are you in your right mind?
Say that again! Right now!
It's just as I said, Grandpa.
I won't marry Ju Hyuk.
Mi Rae. My goodness. I don't understand.
Ju Hyuk, did something happen between you and Mi Rae?
It's because of me, not him.
My feelings have changed.
Your feelings have changed?
Are you saying that you just changed your mind?
I'm sorry, Grandpa.
Chan Ran,
come to my room with Mi Rae and Ju Hyuk.
Mi Rae took us by surprise.
My gosh. It's absolutely shocking.
What? Oh, great. Mr. Geum, did you find your phone?
Yes, I found it, Ms. Choi.
By the way, you didn't eavesdrop on our conversation, did you?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hear it.
So you're saying...
that you heard everything?
Yes.
Why would you look so intimidated?
To be honest, I'm on Mi Rae's side.
Pardon?
I don't want her to marry Ju Hyuk either.
But I'm worried that Grandfather might disown Mi Rae...
because she's refusing to get married against his wishes.
- He might disown her? - My gosh.
Quiet down.
Don't you know he would even do something worse than that?
You do know his temper. Gosh.
Oh, man. He startled the life out of me.
Do you think marriage is a joke?
How could you call it off on a whim?
You stirred up a commotion to date him when I told you not to.
But now you don't want to marry him?
Father, please calm down and hear her out first.
Mi Rae, what does it mean? Your feelings have changed?
It's just as I said. I have no feelings for Ju Hyuk now.
Mi Rae.
Why suddenly?
There must be a reason.
Ju Hyuk, tell us.
Why is Mi Rae acting like this?
The thing is...
I had been having a crush on him since I was a little girl,
and as we continued our relationship for a long time,
I think my feelings for him faded.
That makes no sense!
Did you think...
you could just call off the marriage because your immature love ended...
when you're a member of this family?
Besides,
your mother had to call off her engagement because you caused such a ruckus!
I'm really sorry, Grandpa.
I will never approve of you calling off this marriage.
Grandpa, I can't marry Ju Hyuk.
Mi Rae.
You're completely out of control.
I hate the sight of you. Get out this instant!
Please calm down, Father.
I'm sorry, sir. I'll try to convince Mi Rae.
Did you not hear me? Leave immediately!
Stay strong and make sure Mi Rae won't leave you. Got it?
Father, you're quite delusional.
What? "Delusional?"
- President Dong? - I'm sorry, Mi Rae.
- It's all my fault. - Pardon?
Goodness, you. I'm off to work now.
Hey, why are you leaving so early?
Is there a woman you want to see on your way to work?
Mr. Geum, you're here.
Why are you peeking upstairs? Could it be...
I couldn't help but worry about you.
Ms. Ok.
