(Episode 12)
Auntie Myung Sook.
Let me look at you.
You're Dong Hee, right?
You really are Dong Hee, aren't you?
Yes, it's me.
You stubborn fool.
How could you cut off all contact with us?
I'm sorry, Auntie Myung Sook.
No, don't apologize.
I should be apologizing to you.
And thank you for having been so well.
Auntie Myung Sook.
Mom, why are you crying?
Don't cry.
It's okay, Him Chan.
I'm not crying because I'm sad.
Him Chan.
Not long ago, I told you that you had a great-aunt and a great-uncle, right?
Yes.
This is your great-aunt.
Say hello to her.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Seo Him Chan.
Is he the child that we saw back then?
Yes.
Your name is Him Chan?
Yes.
Can I give you a hug?
Him Chan, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Why are you sorry to me?
It's just...
I'm just sorry.
Let's go home and talk more.
I have to go back to work.
Come on. Work is not important right now.
Call them to say you'll take the rest of the day off.
Really? Dong Hee works here?
Yes, that's what I said.
Who might you be?
I'm Dong Hee's cousin.
What?
Oh, right. She told me...
- about her auntie's family. - Right.
By the way, where is she now?
She stepped out to pick her child up from school.
My gosh. This is big news. Thank you, sir.
No problem.
Thank you for calling Hana Dumplings...
Hey, Dong Hee. What?
Oh, my.
Really?
Your cousin just stopped by. Yes.
Yes. Sure. Okay.
Don't worry about the restaurant, and have a great time with them.
This is amazing. I'm so happy for you, Dong Hee.
This is incredible. I can't believe this.
Mom, I found Dong Hee.
Mom, I said I'd found Dong Hee.
Did you hear me, Mom? I found Dong Hee. I...
What?
Why are you here?
Hi, Tae Pyung. Have you been well?
Yes, I've been well. But I found you.
I guess you went to the restaurant where I work.
Darn. I found her first.
That doesn't matter. What matters is that we found her.
But still...
Him Chan, say hello to your uncle.
Hello, Uncle.
Hi. You must be Jae Seok's...
Tae Pyung.
What?
Oh, got it.
Him Chan, how about we go out together to buy some snacks?
Can I go, Mom?
Sure. Go ahead.
I'll step out with Him Chan so you guys can catch up.
Let's go, Him Chan.
See you later.
Now, tell us how your life has been until now.
You must've gone through a lot.
It wasn't easy, but I met a kind person who helped me get through the hard time.
Goodness, you. How could you ghost us like that?
Do you know how hard my mom tried to find you?
Also, I heard you ran away when you saw her.
At the time, I couldn't think of anything else than keeping Him Chan with me.
I'm sorry about that, Auntie Myung Sook.
Even so.
We texted you so many times to say we'd help you raise the baby,
but you ignored all our text messages.
Actually, the night before I left,
I heard your conversation.
Fine. I understand why you had to leave.
But how could you not call us even just once in the past eight years?
I wanted to call you many times too.
I missed you on the national holidays.
And I wanted to ask you to visit...
Grandma and Jae Seok's graves with me on the anniversaries of their passing.
Then why didn't you?
But then you would've told me to move back in with you.
I didn't want to inconvenience you.
So I decided not to call you...
until I at least got a yearly rental house.
Oh, right. Mom, now that we've found Dong Hee,
we can move to a new house, right?
Go pack up your things and come back.
I'll make dinner for you.
Right.
Are you telling me to move in with you?
Of course.
Auntie Myung Sook, I've saved up almost enough money...
to rent a place with a monthly rent.
If you refuse this too, I will never see you again.
Honey, since you've changed your clothes, go with her...
to help her carry her stuff.
- Okay. - Wait. I'll do it.
- You'll do it? - Yes. You must be tired, so rest up.
Then tell the owner of the restaurant...
that I will pay him a visit soon to thank him.
- Okay. I'll do that. - Wait.
Don't go there empty-handed.
- Pick up a fruit basket on your way. - Okay. I heard you.
Let's go, Dong Hee.
Oh, okay.
Go on.
Are you going somewhere?
To the airport.
I have something to do in the US.
When will you be back?
It'll take about a week.
Excuse me, but did you clean upstairs?
I'm going to do it now. Have a safe flight.
See you later.
I'll get going.
Was it for money?
- What do you mean? - Was it a money problem...
that you needed to discuss with your father?
Why do you want to know that?
If so, I can help you.
If we live together,
we will only end up letting the secret out.
If I had to pay for what I've done, I'd do so willingly.
I'm done running away from it.
(Ms. Jung)
Gosh, why is she calling me?
The person you have reached is unavailable. Please leave a message...
Why? Did she not pick up?
No.
She must be really upset.
Is it that offensive?
That's exactly my point.
Could she favor her eldest son?
She's so hard to read.
By the way, what does your husband do?
What?
Oh, he works in the US as a real estate developer.
By the way, what kind of girl are they looking for?
I was asked to find an intelligent woman with a successful career...
who speaks English fluently.
Really?
It sounds just like Seung Ju.
But why are you asking?
No reason. I was just curious.
By the way, can you set up a golf outing with the wife of Inha Fashion's CEO?
I'll pay.
You'll pay? Why?
Forget it if you don't want to do it.
That's not what I meant.
It sounds wonderful to me.
I can make Ms. Choi feel better while playing golf with her.
Exactly.
Anyway, I'll pay for everything.
So try to arrange it for me, okay?
Okay. I'll do that.
Pardon? I can't renew my contract?
Did you not expect it?
Is there a chance...
that the decision will be reconsidered?
Unfortunately, no.
I see. I understand.
Where is she going?
She can't cry here.
Ms. Kim.
Post an ad on a job search website.
Yes, ma'am.
Hello?
Great job, Ms. Baek.
James called to tell me that he had received the revision sample,
and that he wants to sign the contract as planned.
Really?
That's great news.
Will you be free this evening?
Yes, I will be.
Then let's have dinner together.
Sounds great. Let's do that.
Yes, sir.
Have we landed the contract with the American company?
Yes.
Good job, you two.
We did our best, but Ms. Seo Dong Hee contributed the most.
That being said, how about we tell her to apply to our company?
To this company?
But I doubt that she majored in fashion design.
If she did, she wouldn't be making deliveries now.
Our company hires employees regardless of educational background.
That's just a figure of speech. Educational background matters.
Right. Tell her to apply to our company.
Okay.
So you're going to move in with your auntie's family?
(Hana Dumplings)
I'm sorry, Mr. Jang.
Gosh. It's not something you should apologize to me for.
It's great for Him Chan as well as you.
He never said it out loud, but he must've been so lonely.
It seems that way.
And you can find the job that you want.
A job that I want?
That's right. Quit working here...
and start a career in making clothes.
What's wrong?
Do you feel bad about quitting working here?
Thank you so much for everything.
I'll keep working until you find my replacement.
That's okay. You don't have to do that.
I heard that someone the realtor knew...
was looking for a job.
I can hire that person.
So don't worry about me and focus on your new career.
Welcome.
- Hi, Dong Hee. - Hi. Are you alone today?
I'm here to talk to you.
Me? What do you want to talk about?
I want you to send your resume to our company.
We're hiring an intern.
An intern?
Yes.
That's great.
Apply for the position.
But I don't have a college degree.
Oh, just as expected.
Then don't you have any portfolio either?
I do have one.
Then submit it.
A college degree is not required according to company policy.
Right. What have you got to lose? Give it a try.
Who knows? You might get the job because you're a good fit.
Okay. I'll apply for the job.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
Please have some tea while waiting.
- Thank you for this. - You're welcome.
You should go now.
Why are you standing here? Leave.
I have to wait for Dong Hee. Let me stay here a little longer.
I'll wash your hair now. Please come this way.
Okay.
This way, please.
Oh, my. Welcome.
Please sit here.
I'm here for the interview.
- An interview? - Yes, I heard you were hiring.
Oh, I see.
Then wait here for a little while...
No, actually, you don't have to wait. We already hired someone.
What? Really?
That's weird. I was told to be here at 6 p.m.
It has just been decided. I'm the new employee.
Oh, I see. Then I should just...
- Yes, you can leave now. - Okay.
- Goodbye. - Have a good one.
- You too. - Goodbye.
Can you drink a lot?
I don't like drinking so much.
Oh, I see. But one glass of wine is okay, right?
Of course.
Let's drink.
Alcohol always helps me relax.
Are you nervous?
You didn't see my hand shaking while I was pouring you wine, did you?
My team needs a new intern.
How should it be done?
I'll leave the application review process to you.
And let's interview the final candidates together.
Understood. I'll keep that in mind.
Also, you said you had something to tell me the other day,
and that I wouldn't be disappointed.
May I ask what it was about?
Oh, that. A new hire will join the design team soon.
Really? That's good news.
Can you tell me about that person?
Well...
Wait until you meet him.
Sure.
Let's stop talking about work.
Let's talk about something else.
Like what?
Is there anything you want to know about me?
Ms. Baek... No, I mean, Seung Ju, I'm very curious about you.
Let's call each other by our first names outside of work.
If you feel more comfortable that way, please go ahead.
Are you seeing someone?
No?
Are you interested in me?
Aren't you interested in me?
That's unusual.
My career is the top priority right now.
That means you're not seeing anyone right now, right?
I'm telling you this to make you give up on me.
That won't be easy.
Hey.
Does the executive director have a crush on you?
What are you talking about?
I mean, his ideal type...
sounds just like you.
I'm tired. Leave now.
That's the case, right? Am I right?
I told you I wasn't interested.
Gosh, she's being difficult.
(1 message from Mr. Kang Sung Wook)
Did you go home safely?
I had a great time today.
Sleep well. I'll see you at work tomorrow.
"Mr. Kang Sung Wook"?
That's him, Ms. Choi's eldest son.
Oh, my. He definitely has a crush on Seung Ju.
My goodness.
That wench.
Unpack your bags later.
Get a good night's sleep without thinking about anything.
I'll do that. Thank you for doing this, Auntie Myung Sook.
Him Chan, sleep well.
Yes, Great-aunt.
Good night.
Mom, are we going to live here now?
Yes. Are you excited?
Yes.
But does it mean that we can't see Mr. Jang at the dumpling place?
Of course, we can see him.
Mr. Jang is like part of our family now.
Let's visit him as often as we can. Okay?
Okay.
Did you move their bags upstairs?
Yes.
You must be tired from going around trying to find Dong Hee.
Come and sit here. I'll give you a massage.
Then shall I enjoy getting pampered?
How do you feel? Are you happy?
Yes, it's perfect. Keep doing it like that.
I'm not talking about the massage.
Are you happy that we found Dong Hee?
Of course, I'm happy.
It feels as if a heavy rock lodged in my heart just disappeared.
She raised Him Chan so well.
I know, right?
When he dusted off my pants with those tiny hands of his,
he looked so sweet and adorable.
I can't believe we tried to send him to an orphanage.
Why would you bring that up again?
I feel so ashamed.
Do you?
Of course.
I'm so afraid...
that Him Chan might find out about that.
Let's be even nicer to him to make it up to him.
That'll do, don't you think?
Let's do that.
Let's give him twice as much love...
as we could've given him for the past eight years.
You can stop it. That's enough.
You'll be too tired to work tomorrow.
I bet you will sleep peacefully tonight.
Yes, I will.
Let's go to sleep.
(Incheon International Airport Terminal 1)
Yes, Father.
Have you arrived?
Yes, just now.
Then come to my office. I have a place to go to with you.
Where?
You'll know when we get there.
I'll be waiting here.
Yes, Father.
If you've checked them all, share your opinions.
Ms. Kim, who do you like?
Well... I like numbers 5, 14, and 17.
I like numbers 5, 14, and 19. What about you, Ms. Baek?
Number 5 and number 14 are my favorites too.
Ms. Kim, call these four candidates and tell them to come in for an interview.
Got it.
What?
Number 14 is Ms. Seo Dong Hee.
I knew it.
But it says she didn't go to college.
She said she didn't have a college degree.
Should I still call Ms. Seo, Ms. Baek?
You said you liked her portfolio too.
Call her.
Yes, ma'am.
Great job, everyone.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Really?
Thank you, Ms. Kim.
Yes. Understood.
Yes, thank you.
Hey, is there any good news?
I sent my resume to Inha Fashion,
and I got an interview.
My goodness. Congratulations. That's amazing.
But I didn't get the job yet.
Come on. It's not easy to get an interview either.
Myung Sook, Dong Hee got an interview.
I heard that.
Use this to get yourself a nice outfit.
That's okay, Auntie Myung Sook.
Will you dress like that for the interview?
I have enough money to get a new outfit.
I'll buy one with my money.
You should accept it as I'm your elder.
Take it.
She's right. Take it, Dong Hee.
Then I'll accept it. Thank you, Auntie Myung Sook.
Don't pick a cheap outfit to be considerate of me.
Buy something nice from a good brand.
Okay?
Hey, you should buy something from Inha Fashion.
That might help her get some extra points.
You have a point, Jung Eun.
It's a great idea. You should buy something from that company.
Okay. I'll do that.
(Inha Fashion Clearance Sale)
Oh, my. This one looks nice.
Please try it on.
Can I do that?
Of course. The fitting room is upstairs.
I see. Thank you.
Father, why are we here?
Although my company has no dress code,
you should wear a suit on your first day.
- Let's go in. - Father.
Do you want to let everyone know that I'm your son?
I'm here to inspect the store.
And you're here to shop.
I don't think that's a good idea.
I'll go shopping alone. You can go home without me.
I was going to have dinner with you after shopping.
Mother will be upset if she finds out.
All right, then.
I'll go home now. Go in and get yourself a suit.
Yes, Father.
Welcome.
Are you looking for anything in particular?
Well... I'll have a look around first. Thank you.
Of course.
Well...
Let's have a look.
This one...
It's pretty.
And this one...
Oh, and this.
There it is.
(Occupied)
(Vacant)
Can you ring this up for me?
Sure. Thank you.
How would you like the monthly installment?
Well... Can you give me a second? I'll ask her.
Oh, no.
Where is my phone?
Maybe you left it in the fitting room. It happens a lot.
Did I? I'll be right back.
What are you doing?
(Bravo, My Life)
- I'm sorry. - You again?
Did you find your camera? You didn't?
I can't believe you still don't have any plans for your life.
Don't try to come between me and my son.
You should be nice to Cha Yeol.
Don't tell them about Him Chan at the interview.
- I'll look for it too. - There's no way she's looking for it.
Did he mess with me?
