The person you've reached is unavailable. Please leave a message...
Auntie Kyu Sun isn't picking up.
What if that baker did something to her?
Ju Hyuk, why didn't you tell me about him?
Auntie Kyu Sun practically begged me not to, so I had no choice.
I can't sit here and wait. I should go to the bakery now.
Dong Kyu Sun!
Why didn't you answer our calls?
Must you worry your family like this?
I didn't know you called.
Kyu Chul, what's gotten into you? You never worry about me.
Auntie Kyu Sun, Father has found out that Mr. Kim is an ex-con.
What? Ju Hyuk, did you tell him?
Jae Hyun told me.
How could you hire someone like that?
I'll fire him first thing tomorrow. Consider yourself informed.
Kyu Chul.
Father, he is Mi Rae's biological father.
I don't think you should get involved.
You heard about that too?
Right. Chairman Hwang's family found out about it.
But Mr. Kim left, so put your worries to rest.
What? What do you mean he left?
He didn't want to negatively affect Mi Rae in any way,
so he moved far away.
So please stop talking about this.
How did it go?
Did you meet your father?
Yes, I met him and tallk with him.
He walked me home and left.
I'm so glad to hear this.
I was very worried, thinking you two might miss each other.
We almost did.
But Mr. Geum persuaded Dad...
to wait for me.
What? Why is Mr. Geum sticking his nose into this?
I wonder too. Why was Mr. Geum there?
Oh, the thing is...
I asked Mr. Geum...
to make sure Mi Rae and his father wouldn't miss each other.
But he's an ex-con.
I bet Grandfather will never approve of him.
Watch what you say, Soo Ji.
If you're rude to Mi Rae's father, I won't let it slide.
Mother, you're hurting my feelings here.
I was just worried he'd cause harm to the family.
That's all.
Right, honey?
Well... I'm very torn too.
However, he is Mi Rae's father.
It's wrong to cut all ties with your family.
Okay, fine! I'm always the bad one, aren't I?
Soo Ji, I'll make sure you don't need to worry about anything.
Mom.
How's Grandpa? He must be very angry.
I'm home, Grandpa.
Father.
Mi Rae met and spoke with her biological father.
You always do whatever you want.
Why bother telling me?
Grandpa, I'm sorry.
Father, please don't be angry.
I don't want to hear it. Get out, both of you!
My dear Haeng Bok...
I mean, Mi Rae. I hope she doesn't get in trouble when she gets home.
Don't worry.
Ms. Hwang would like you to stay by her side.
She told me to tell you that.
I'm so sorry and grateful that I don't know what to do.
Thanks a lot, Kang San.
Without your help,
Mi Rae and I wouldn't have been able to meet again.
It's all thanks to Ms. Ok, who plucked up her courage.
Doo Ho, you must be exhausted. You should go home and rest up.
What is it, Doo Ho?
Kang San, thanks for looking out for me.
But I can't keep inconveniencing your family.
I'll find a place to stay,
so don't worry about me, and just go home.
Doo Ho.
My place is close to the art academy, so it's perfect.
Let's hurry home together.
Come on!
Let's get moving. Come on.
Let's go. My goodness.
(Baker Wanted, Sun Bakery)
I do need to hire a new baker,
but the thought of someone else replacing Doo Ho's position...
makes me so sad.
Ms. Dong! You're here already.
Mr. Geum, don't you have to go to work?
I wanted to help them prep. I was just about to leave.
By the way, are you looking for a new baker?
I have no choice.
Doo Ho left.
Doo Ho came back.
What did you say?
Doo Ho came back?
Yes.
My goodness.
My gosh!
I was so excited,
thinking I'd finally have the whole room to myself.
But my son practically begged me,
so I agreed to take you back.
Don't forget that.
Thanks. I won't forget it.
Anyway, Mr. Kim.
What will you do about Kyu Sun?
You won't get back together with her, right?
I do not want to.
I see. That's wise.
Once you break up, that's it. You know?
What's done is done.
Hello? Are you inside, Doo Ho?
What? That pretty voice is...
- Goodness. - My gosh! I've come to the right place.
It's true that you came back, Doo Ho!
Yes.
Kyu Sun, how did you find him here?
Mr. Geum told me.
That fool has to stick his nose into everyone's business.
Sun Dal, do you mind stepping out for a few minutes?
I need to talk to Doo Ho in private.
No, I don't want to.
Who knows what could happen if I left the two of you alone...
in this tiny room?
I will not go anywhere.
If you keep this up, I won't be friends with you anymore.
Goodness. You're using our friendship to threaten me?
You're so mean to me.
Hurry up.
Fine. But...
keep it short, okay?
And no touching!
Let's sit down, okay?
Let's sit down and talk, Doo Ho.
Kyu Sun, I have nothing else to tell you.
Doo Ho.
I'll cut to the chase.
Come back to me.
I can't.
I'll only hurt you.
And I want to live quietly...
as a way of repenting for what I did to my daughter.
I wasn't asking you to get back together with me.
I was just asking you to come back to the bakery.
What?
Oh, I see.
Because you left so suddenly,
I might have to close up the bakery.
As you know, it's not easy to find a good baker.
Even if I manage to find someone,
I'm worried it might be someone dangerous.
You can come back...
and stay just until I find another good baker, can't you?
Please, Doo Ho.
Please?
Hey! Hello, Ms. Ok.
Hello.
Thank you so much for everything yesterday, Mr. Geum.
No problem at all.
Oh, right. Doo Ho decided to keep staying with us,
so don't worry about him.
That's such great news.
And thank you again for letting my dad stay with you.
Don't mention it.
By the way,
Chairman Hwang is still upset with you, isn't he?
Yes.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Thank you for calling Hong Do's Side Dishes!
Yes. One deluxe lunchbox? Sure thing.
Pardon me? Where?
(Hwang Dong Food)
Gosh. I'll get in trouble if Sang Soo is here.
Hello. Did you order the lunchbox?
Yes, you can leave it here.
Oh! It was you, just as I thought.
I recognized your unique voice when you called earlier.
Sorry?
When I heard your resonant voice,
I thought it might be you.
Let me settle up first.
Oh, sure.
I guess everyone else stepped out to get lunch.
Why are you eating alone?
Sorry?
Oh, I was just...
If you eat alone often, please keep ordering from us.
I have to say, this office is very nice.
Gosh, it must be fun to work in an office like this.
If you're done, please leave.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
I see a soda bottle on this desk.
This must be Sang Soo's desk.
Aren't you leaving?
Yes, I'm leaving.
Take care.
You have such a unique voice.
Enjoy the lunchbox, and have a good day.
I love you, my dear customer.
Ms. Ok, congratulations on finding your father.
And here.
Goodness!
It's the hair tie I gave you.
I figured I should return it to you.
You and Mr. Kim share precious memories of it.
Thanks, Jan Di.
I found my father thanks to this hair tie.
My gosh. Ms. Ok!
Was what Jan Di said really true?
We heard the baker at Sun Bakery was your biological father.
That's right.
My goodness.
All this time, you had no idea when he was so close.
Anyway, congratulations on meeting your father again.
Thank you.
Then...
your father must've been the reason you've been looking...
so stressed out for the past few days.
I was worried, thinking something had happened to you.
My father and I have reconciled,
so please don't worry.
Ms. Jang.
My dad found Mr. Kim and brought him back.
Kang San brought him back?
Yes. Mr. Kim told me...
that he and Ms. Ok could meet again thanks to my dad,
who persuaded him to stay.
Right, Ms. Ok?
Yes, that's right.
My, Geum Kang San sure never disappoints.
Kang San helped you out big-time, Ms. Ok.
Yes. I feel hugely indebted to Mr. Geum.
(Sun Bakery, Hong Do's Side Dishes)
How do they look?
My, how pretty.
Those shoes suit you perfectly, Mi Rae.
Every year, I imagined how much my daughter would've grown...
and felt bad for having never bought her a pair of shoes.
(Sun Bakery)
But you bought me these shoes, Dad.
- Doo Ho! - Hello!
Ms. Ok, you're here too.
Yes. I came to pick up these shoes from Dad again.
My gosh. Those shoes have found their rightful owner.
I guess you could say that.
Mi Rae, he helped me pick them.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
But I'm not sure if I did a good job.
My gosh, Mr. Geum. You have such a good eye!
I love them.
I'll cherish them, Dad.
Doo Ho, it's so nice to see you...
and Ms. Ok together.
Really?
Mi Rae, your family will be worried. You should get going.
I'm not done yet, so I can't take you home.
Doo Ho, I'll finish up the rest.
Hurry up and take your princess home.
No, it's okay. I can go home by myself.
Then I'll walk you to the bus stop.
This must be a hassle for you. I'm sorry, Mr. Geum.
No, I feel like I'm out on a walk. It's nice.
A walk?
Oh, it rained earlier, so there are many puddles. Be careful.
Don't worry. These shoes are so comfortable that...
Oh, no.
I can clean them when I get home.
Your father bought you these precious shoes.
If you don't clean them now, they'll end up with stains.
But you're ruining your handkerchief.
I can wash it.
Luckily, I don't think there are any stains.
Thank you, Mr. Geum.
One moment.
All right.
Here. Put it on now.
Hurry up.
They're... They are clean now, right?
Yes.
Mr. Eun.
You and I are quite similar.
We get each other.
I totally agree, Mr. Ok.
Your wife has you under her thumb,
and I have my in-laws bossing me around.
Gosh, we have no one else to vent to,
but we can totally relate to each other.
All right. How about another round?
It's on me.
Goodness! I'd be honored.
Let's go, Mr. Ok.
Let's go!
Let's go this way.
Where shall we go?
There are many cool places in this area.
- My goodness. - Are you all right?
What?
That woman looks very familiar.
Oh, you're right.
Hold on. Isn't that Mi Rae?
You're right. She is Mi Rae.
- But... - Yes.
who's the man on his knees in front of her?
That guy looks very familiar too.
He's my brother-in-law.
Mi Rae!
Jae Hyun.
Kang San, what are you doing here?
The thing is, Sang Soo...
Hello, Mr. Ok.
It's getting late.
What are you two doing here?
Tell us, Kang San.
What were you and Mi Rae doing here?
The thing is, Sang Soo...
My shoes got wet, so he helped me clean them.
Is that so?
But why did he have to put the shoes on you?
Were you two shooting a movie or what?
Well, my brother-in-law has such good manners.
Mr. Eun.
I should go home with Mi Rae now.
Let's have more drinks another time.
Yes, Mr. Ok. I'll take you to a nicer place next time.
Mi Rae, let's go home.
What?
Okay.
I'll see you around.
Yes. See you, Mi Rae.
Good night, Mr. Ok!
Get home safely.
Hey.
Watch your conduct.
Even if you run into Mi Rae, just say hello and be on your way.
If people get the wrong idea, I could lose my job too. Don't forget.
Okay, Sang Soo.
Let's go.
Hold on.
Don't tell me...
you want to date Mi Rae.
What?
Don't get greedy because...
you could get hurt. Okay?
Let's go.
My goodness. How come they aren't home yet?
Mom! Why are you staring at your phone? Aren't you going to bed?
Your brothers-in-law aren't home yet.
Why couldn't they call and tell us that they'd be home late?
Come on. They're not kids. They'll get home safe and sound.
Why? Are you worried they might be spending time with women?
No, I was just...
Set Kang San free now, okay?
He really is single now.
Even if he says he wants to move out,
we have no excuses to stop him, Mom.
I know that, but...
- I'm home. - My gosh!
Sang Soo, you're home.
- I'm home too. - What?
Mother, you're still up?
My gosh. Kang San, you're here too.
How come you two came home together?
Kang San was with someone, and I caught him.
- What? - Hold on.
Who was he with?
He was with Mi Rae.
- Mi Rae? You mean, Ms. Ok? - Yes.
Kang San, why were you with Jan Di's art teacher...
at this late hour?
Well, what happened was...
- Go on. - Mother, don't worry too much.
It looked like they'd become quite close,
but even if Mi Rae is feeling very lonely after her breakup,
she won't date just anybody.
Her grandpa owns Hwang Dong Food, after all.
Sang Soo is right about that.
Anyway,
I bet the chairman doesn't approve of Mr. Kim.
Right. I don't think he'll open up to him easily.
Goodness. That's too much to ask.
Mi Rae should be glad that he didn't kick her out, don't you think?
That family has so much going on, just like we do.
Mi Rae, let me give you a word of advice as your brother.
Do not meet Mr. Geum again privately outside the house.
Jae Hyun. Why are you being like this suddenly?
Men and women can never be just friends.
I know that Mr. Geum is a good person,
but nothing good will come out of you getting involved with him.
Mi Rae, were you with Mr. Geum until this late hour?
Yes, Soo Ji. I was with Mr. Geum.
Don't get the wrong idea. They met up to take care of something.
If others saw them together, they'd gossip,
so I had a word with her about it.
Oh, I see.
I'm going to bed.
Okay, go on in.
Gosh, it's so hot.
Soo Ji, can you please knock?
Oh, sorry.
Mi Rae.
Do you want to date again?
Why do you ask?
Well, since Ju Hyuk burned you badly,
I thought you might never want to date again.
My gosh. You're not saying you never want to date again.
Ju Hyuk did that because his father hurt him in the past.
Right. So next time,
date someone who's average in every aspect,
from his family to everything else.
Find an average guy who isn't difficult.
But there are people...
who embrace others' wounds and comfort them...
even when they're going through a rough patch.
And who could that be?
Don't tell me it's Mr. Geum.
What?
Mi Rae.
Is there something going on between you two?
Soo Ji!
Gosh, I was just joking.
I know Mr. Geum is a good guy, but he's a widower with a child.
Of course, you won't be interested in him.
Anyway, all right. Get some rest.
Kang San...
even helped Ms. Ok find her father.
Ms. Ok should really do something for Kang San to thank him.
Who helps others like that these days?
There's a reason he stepped in and helped her.
What do you mean?
Kang San...
has feelings for Ms. Ok.
What?
What did you just say?
Geum Kang San has feelings for Ok Mi Rae.
So give up already!
I wondered if that could be the case, but...
Hey, Ho Rang. Are you all right?
Ho Rang.
All right.
Here. Put it on now.
Hurry up.
Why is my heart fluttering?
Ms. Ok.
Oh, Mr. Geum.
Sorry, I startled you.
It's okay.
Come out and have some bread.
Doo Ho sent bread for your family.
My dad did?
Yes.
Try it.
Ms. Ok's father baked them this morning, so they're still warm.
Sir. Let's see.
Would you like to try this red bean bun?
No, thanks.
Who knows? Maybe he put poison in it.
Father.
Then let me taste it and see...
if there's poison or not.
The sweet red bean paste goes very well with the soft bread.
This is to die for.
Goodness. You've gotten funnier.
This one is good too, Father.
Mi Rae, try it too.
Okay, Mom.
How good could bread be?
I can really taste the butter. It's delicious.
It's because Ms. Ok's father put in ample amounts of quality ingredients.
Mr. Geum.
Yes.
Thank you for helping my dad.
No problem.
I'm sure Chairman Hwang will open up to him soon.
Do you really think so?
I know so.
You know that your father is a wonderful person.
Oh, I'll clean these.
No, it's okay. Don't bother. You have to go to work.
I'll clean these while washing Chairman Hwang's dishes.
It's okay. This isn't your job.
It's fine. Hand them over.
No... Oh, no!
- Kyu Sun. - Kyu Chul.
Why is this baker still here?
You should make a wise decision for Mi Rae's sake.
Ms. Ok. You look down on me, don't you?
Why are you all flirty around Kang San?
Ms. Jang, the truth is...
That man, Kim Doo Ho, was a thug.
Sir, there was another reason.
- Grandpa. - I'm here to talk to you.
Mi Rae...
