(Episode 106)
Are you okay now?
Yes, I feel much better now thanks to you.
I'm relieved.
Please enjoy.
Thank you.
It looks good. Eat up, Him Chan.
Can I eat this?
Of course, you can.
I'm treating you to show my gratitude. So dig in now.
Then I'll enjoy it.
Aren't you going to eat?
I'm okay. Eat a lot, Him Chan.
I can't finish all this by myself.
Please have some.
Come on.
Okay. I'll eat.
I'll eat too. Let's eat together.
Okay.
I'm home.
You're back.
Oh, my. Hye Na, were you doing your homework?
Yes.
Where's Him Chan? What is he doing?
He went to his friend's house. He hasn't come back yet.
Really? I told him not to stay out too late.
Why don't you try calling him?
I should do that. Keep doing your homework.
Yes.
It's my mom.
Hi, Mom.
Him Chan, where are you now?
I'm in front of our house. I'm about to go in.
Then hurry up and come in. I'm home now.
Okay. I'll go in now.
Ma'am, I should go in now.
Him Chan, I have a favor to ask of you.
Can you not tell anyone that you met me today?
You want me to keep it a secret? Why?
Well...
It's because I'm embarrassed that I cried.
I don't want anyone to know that I cried.
So can you not tell anyone that we met today?
Okay. I won't tell anybody.
Good boy.
All right. Go on in now.
Okay. Go home safely.
Bye.
Mom, I'm home.
Him Chan, I told you not to stay out late.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Are you coming from Jung Hwan's house?
What? Yes.
Then change your clothes and wash up.
Okay.
- Are you just getting back? - Yes.
But why are you empty-handed?
You said you'd buy a new outfit for your new job.
I didn't get the job.
What are you saying?
You said you got the job when we talked on the phone.
Anyway, it happened that way.
Then...
why do you look so happy?
I mean, you didn't get the job.
I look happy?
No way.
What's going on?
- I'm home. - Hey.
You went back to work after a long time. How was it?
It felt a little strange, but it felt good.
I enjoyed working with my colleagues again since it had been a while.
Did Dong Hee come back to work too?
Yes.
Your team will finally function properly.
How is the new senior manager?
Does the person seem competent?
The position hasn't been filled yet, Father.
What?
What do you mean?
Ms. Baek resigned a long time ago. How come anyone hasn't been hired yet?
Are you saying that the position of senior manager is still vacant?
Yes. Ms. Kim was worried about it too.
She said it had been vacant for too long.
Hasn't it been more than two months, honey?
It's been more than three months.
Did you hear when a new senior manager would join the design team?
No, I didn't.
Really?
Is Director Heo...
managing his responsibilities as the acting CEO properly?
Hello, Director Heo. It's me, Kang In Kyu.
Mr. Kang, what a surprise. Why are you calling me at this hour?
I heard...
that the position of senior manager of the design team is still vacant.
Can you explain to me?
Oh, a senior manager of the design team?
We're trying to find the perfect person for the job right now.
Oh, I see.
Even so, I don't think it's such a good idea...
to keep that position vacant for too long.
Please try to hire someone as soon as possible.
I'll take care of the matter. Please don't worry about it.
Of course.
Then I'll be counting on you.
Yes. Bye.
- Let's go in. - Okay.
Jung Ho and Myung Sook, we're here.
We're here.
Jung Ho, we'll make a bow to you.
- Let's do it together, Jung Eun. - Okay.
My goodness. You don't have to make a bow.
Oh, dear.
Honey, we should bow too.
- Oh, my. - Oh, my.
Why are they bowing to each other, Mom?
Be quiet, will you?
Let's sit down. Shall we?
- Right. Come here and sit down. - Jung Eun, sit down.
Okay.
- Let's sit down, honey. - Okay.
Did you just call him "honey," Jung Eun?
Yes, I did. Why? Is something wrong?
Well, nothing's wrong about it,
but you said it so naturally.
Why would it be unnatural? He's my husband now.
We still feel awkward calling each other like that, right, Tae Pyung?
Exactly.
Auntie Jung Eun, you're so bold.
What's so bold about it?
Then Mr. Jang, do you call her that too?
Me?
I still feel a little awkward doing so.
That's normal.
Jung Eun, you can be quite unusual from time to time.
Am I weird, Jung Ho?
I wouldn't say that it's weird, but I do find it...
a little strange.
Really? I don't find it strange at all.
Honey, do you find me weird too?
No. I like the way you are very much.
If you're happy, that's all that matters to me.
Was Jung Eun always like that?
I didn't know that Jung Eun would get used to it so quickly.
We started calling each other "honey" after Tae Pyung was born, right?
I think so.
Hearing her calling him "honey" made me cringe.
How did it make you feel?
I felt that way a little as well.
But Hyun Seok said he liked it so much.
Then that's all that matters.
Right. That's all that matters.
Right.
Use this to wipe your tears.
I'll stay with you until you feel better.
I can't finish all this by myself.
Please have some.
Come on.
I'm worried...
if Sung Wook has been eating well.
Don't worry about him. I'm sure he's doing well.
I can't just sit here and do nothing.
I'll go there and send some more food to him.
I'll go today, Mother.
You'll go?
Yes. I should see Sung Wook once in a while. I'll go.
Then ask him what he wants to eat...
and send some food to him, okay?
I'll do that.
Time used to go by so fast.
But these days, each day feels like forever.
You might develop depression at this rate.
Don't just stay at home.
Go out and have a chat with your friends.
I heard that a nice chat is the best cure for depression.
I have no friends.
I've been cast out because of what happened.
Besides, even if I have friends,
I can't go out and have fun in a situation like this.
Then at least exercise.
He's right, Mother.
Sung Wook will be worried if he knows you're living like this.
If Sung Wook asks you about me, tell him that I'm doing well.
Don't make him worry about me, okay?
Sure.
Oh, right. I talked to Director Heo last night.
About hiring a new senior manager? What did he say?
He said he was trying to find the perfect person.
I'm sure that a new senior manager will join the team soon.
Oh, I see.
Tell everyone on your team...
that they can put their worries to rest.
I'll do that, Father.
The perfect person for the team?
Yes, and a new senior manager will join the team soon.
That's what we hear every time.
Every time?
What do you mean by that, Jong Min?
Whenever we asked the higher-ups when they'd hire a new senior manager,
they gave us the same answer.
"We're trying to find the perfect person, so wait just a little longer."
Oh, really?
They told us to reproduce last year's designs.
I doubt that they'll hire the perfect person for the team.
Was there such an order, Ms. Kim?
Yes.
I'm worried that the design team might be disbanded.
(Hana Dumplings)
- Hyun Seok. - Yes?
Hey, you're here.
What's with you?
Did you enjoy your honeymoon?
Of course, I enjoyed it.
Right. I can tell that you had a great time.
My gosh.
How was it? Was it nice?
Of course, it was nice.
Exactly what was so nice?
My gosh. Why would you ask such a question?
Just tell me what was so nice. What was it?
Everything was good. Why are you asking?
Jung Eun, you're here.
Jung Eun, what brings you here?
I knew that Hye Ran would tease you like this, honey.
I couldn't stay at home.
"Honey?"
Why? What's wrong with that?
I'm not saying that anything is wrong with that.
Are you saying that you're here to stop me from teasing him?
Yes. So don't even think of teasing him. Do you understand?
Okay.
Honey, I'll stop by the production company and go home.
I'll see you at home in the evening.
Okay. Go home safely.
My gosh. How does she do that so naturally?
She acts as if she'd been married to you for ten years.
That's how my wife is.
You should stop acting up.
(Soojung Elementary School)
Him Chan.
Oh, the pretty lady is here.
Hello.
(No smoking in front of school)
What are you doing here?
(Soojung Elementary School)
I was passing by.
Is school done for the day?
Yes.
Then shall I buy you something delicious again?
Again?
Why? You don't want to go with me?
It's not that I don't want to.
But you don't have to treat me.
I want to buy you something delicious.
Let's go.
My, you must be really happy, kid.
Because your mom takes you out for delicious food every day.
She's not my mom.
Really?
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
Did I look like his mother?
Yes. I thought you were his mother.
I see.
Please enjoy.
Thank you for the food, ma'am.
You're welcome. Eat a lot, okay?
Yes.
(Hana Dumplings)
I'll step out briefly.
(Hana Dumplings, Hyena Hair Salon)
Oh, my.
Him Chan...
- Shall we get going? - Yes.
My goodness. What is she doing?
Why is she with Him Chan?
- I really enjoyed the food. Thank you. - You're welcome.
Him Chan, I'd like to meet you and eat something good with you...
from time to time just as we did today.
What do you think?
Why?
No reason. Just because I like you.
I like you, Him Chan.
Do you dislike me?
No, I don't dislike you.
Then let's meet up and eat something good from time to time.
Sounds good.
Then give me your phone. I'll give you my number.
Here you go.
Here.
And don't tell anyone that we met today either, okay?
But why? You didn't cry today.
I think that your mother might be upset...
because I didn't ask for her approval before I met you.
If she finds out, I'll be in a difficult position.
Can't you keep it a secret?
I don't want to lie to my mom.
Then I have no choice.
I'll be scolded by your mother.
Okay. Then I won't tell her that I met you today either.
Will you do that for me?
Yes.
Thank you, Him Chan.
Goodbye.
Bye.
You'll visit your brother today?
Yes. I'll go to see him briefly.
Then say hello to him for me.
I'll do that.
Oh, right. Father asked me when we'd get married.
So I said we'd get married after Sung Wook got out.
Is that okay with you?
Yes. Of course, we should wait.
Thank you.
Don't say that.
By the way, where are we going to live after we get married?
Do you want to move to the US as we planned before?
No.
I want to stay in Korea if you don't mind.
What do you think?
Of course, I want to live in Korea.
Then let's not move to the US.
I'm going to start taking my job here seriously.
I'm glad you made that decision.
Since both CEO Kang and Director Kang left the company,
at least you should work hard here.
Okay. I'll do that.
Inmate 1148, you have a visitor.
Hey, you're here.
How have you been?
I've been doing well as you can see.
How about you? You look well.
I've almost fully recovered.
I'm so relieved.
Dong Hee sent you her regards. She returned to work too.
Really? That's great news.
You should leave here and come back to work soon.
Without you and Father, things are tense at the company.
Everyone is worried that the company might fail.
I hope I can go back to work too.
But I really want Dad to return to work as soon as possible.
I'm worried.
I told him that he should do so as well.
But because he resigned to take the responsibility for what happened...
it seems hard for him to decide to return to work.
But still, there's no one else who can lead the company as he did.
Keep trying to persuade him.
I'll do that.
By the way...
Have you heard any news about Seung Ju?
I don't know the details.
But it doesn't seem that she's doing very well.
Why?
Apparently, she's trying to get a new job.
But it must not be easy...
because of the bad rumors about her.
Why?
Do you still think about her?
It's just...
that I hope she's doing okay.
Seung Ju, are you home?
- Seung Ju. - Yes.
Why are you looking for me so desperately?
What was that?
What do you mean?
Why were you with Him Chan earlier in the afternoon?
Did you see us?
Tell me how it happened.
You didn't even let me talk about Him Chan.
What happened? Tell me.
It's nothing.
I ran into him and treated him to a meal. That's all.
Exactly. Why would you treat him to a meal?
I felt like I shouldn't just pass him by. Happy now?
Really? Is that all?
Of course, that's all. What more reason should there be?
Right. What more reason could there be?
But next time, just pass him by even if you run into him again, okay?
Why should I do that?
You know why you should do that.
What if Him Chan finds out that you're his biological mother?
What would you do then?
What do you mean?
If he finds out, he'll know.
What?
I'm just saying. Don't worry about it.
What's gotten into her?
Did you have a good day?
Yes.
Did you get along well with your friends?
Of course.
What else? Did anything fun happen today?
No.
How was your day? Did you have a good day?
Of course, I had a very good day.
Then I'm relieved.
You're so sweet.
Let's dry your hair.
(Him Chan)
Impressive. You're good at this.
- Oh, yes! - You pulled it off.
I made it. This is fun.
That one looks dangerous.
- This one. - It's dangerous.
(Kim Jung Hwan)
Him Chan, your phone is ringing.
Oh, no. It stopped ringing.
(Kim Jung Hwan, Pretty lady, Kim Jung Hwan, Kim Hye Na, Mom)
(Pretty lady)
(Director Kang Sung Wook)
(Senior Manager Baek Seung Ju)
(Senior Manager Baek Seung Ju, Pretty lady)
Who was it, Mom?
It was Jung Hwan.
I wonder why Jung Hwan called me.
Mom, give me my phone, please. I'll call Jung Hwan back.
Him Chan.
Why is the pretty lady's number saved on your phone?
What?
Isn't the pretty lady you saved on your phone...
the lady who used to work with me?
Yes.
Why do you have her phone number saved on your phone?
I'm sorry, Mom.
For what? What are you apologizing for?
I lied to you.
You lied to me? About what?
Actually...
I met the lady yesterday and today.
What? Then why didn't you tell me?
She asked me not to tell anyone that I had met her.
What?
I'm sorry, Mom.
(Bravo, My Life)
Seung Ju has been seeing Him Chan without letting you know?
And she told Him Chan not to tell me about it.
Why do you hate the lady?
I want to take Him Chan on an outing.
So send him to me.
Are you completely out of your mind?
Why doesn't my mom let me see you?
You know what, Him Chan?
I will never let the two of you see each other again.
