None of this would've happened without you around!
What do you mean?
She likes you. That's why she rejected me!
Happy now?
What?
You selfish jerk.
You said you two were just friends.
Friends, my foot.
You're the only one who thinks that way.
It's me, Ms. Choi.
Ms. Baek, what's up?
I just handed in my resignation.
You didn't have to tell me this.
Anyway, I'm glad you did.
But Director Kang ripped my resignation letter.
What? So what did you do?
Don't worry. I'm going to keep my promise to you.
I'll hand in my resignation again.
Okay.
I should go now.
Who were you talking to?
Mr. Kang.
Was it...
my mother?
No.
Give me your phone.
(Ms. Choi)
It's my mother's number.
Tell me. Did my mother tell you to resign?
It wasn't like that.
You said you would keep your promise to her.
Didn't you just say you would hand in your resignation again?
Did you hear all that?
Let's talk about this later.
Mr. Kang.
A Global?
I heard it's a company that invests in K-content.
Are you saying that we can make 5,000 dollars in 1 month...
if we invest 13,200 dollars?
It makes no sense, right?
I don't think it's a good idea.
Come on. What are you talking about?
You said that Mi Young told you about this.
Isn't she a public servant?
That's true, but...
And she's already made over 100,000 dollars.
Are you saying we should do this?
Of course, we should do this.
What if it goes wrong, and we only lose our money?
But Mi Young said it was a safe investment, right?
Yes, she did, but...
Hey, then how about we discuss it with your mom first?
That's pointless.
All she does is save money in the bank. She'd never approve of this.
Let's do it just for one month.
- Just for one month? - Yes.
You said we could get our invested money back any time we wanted.
So let's do it just for one month,
and get our money back once we make 5,000 dollars. What do you say?
What if things go wrong during that month?
Since the business has been successful until now, it won't go under in a month.
I guess not.
Of course. Call Mi Young and tell her we'll get in on it.
Then we'll close it exactly one month later, okay?
Yes. I don't want to do it any longer than that either.
My goal is to find a place to rent, so I can move out soon.
Why are you hesitating? Call her now.
Okay.
Hi, Mi Young, it's me.
Can I do it just for one month?
Great. Then I'll do it just for a month. I'll open 12 accounts.
Are you getting back now?
What?
Yes.
What's with the long face? Did something happen?
No, nothing happened.
But shouldn't I be asking that question?
I heard you resigned.
Yes, I did.
Sung Wook said he wouldn't accept it.
I just handed in my resignation letter to HR.
Seung Ju.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to say something to me?
Go ahead. What is it?
Never mind. Not now.
Let's talk later.
Mom.
Mom!
Why are you back at this hour?
Mom, what is your problem?
Explain so that I can understand.
What did I do? Why are you getting all mad at me?
You told Ms. Baek to resign. Am I wrong?
Who told you that? Did Ms. Baek say that?
Does it matter?
Tell me who told you that.
I heard Ms. Baek talking to you on the phone.
What?
Did you really have to do that?
I said I would handle the matter!
Clearly, you're not handling it well.
You only decided...
to chase the girl who rejected you. You call that handling it?
- Gosh, Mom. - Yes.
I told Ms. Baek to quit working there...
because I thought that was the only way to make you give up on her. Happy now?
Do you think that I'll give up on her just like that?
What?
The more you try to make me give up, the more I'll want to be with her.
You heard that I ripped her resignation letter, didn't you?
Even if she hands in her resignation 2 or 3 times again...
No.
Even if she resigns ten times again,
I won't accept it. So consider yourself informed.
Are you really going to stay stubborn like this?
You might fall out of your dad's favor...
and lose the company to Cha Yeol. Is that what you want?
You're the one who should worry about Dad.
If he finds out that you forced her to resign,
he won't let it slide.
Your dad knows about this too?
He doesn't, right? Your dad doesn't know, right?
Are you afraid of that?
Then...
never mess with Ms. Baek again.
Why that little...
You didn't tell me if your dad doesn't know about this.
What's going on?
What are you talking about?
Ms. Baek handed in her resignation? Why?
She said it was for personal reasons.
So HR doesn't know the exact reason.
Tell Ms. Baek to come to my office now.
Yes, sir.
Yes. Understood.
I'll be there shortly.
Cha Yeol, don't you know anything about this?
What do you mean by that?
You said you and Ms. Baek were friends.
Don't you know why she handed in her resignation?
I don't know.
Cha Yeol, can you talk to her so that she can change her mind?
Convince her not to leave the company.
Who am I to convince her?
By any chance, did you have a fight with Ms. Baek?
No.
Why?
You look a little upset. That's why.
Do you really not know...
why Ms. Baek is suddenly acting like that?
What if I know the reason?
Do you? What's the reason?
Have you ever had this thought?
What do you mean? What kind of thought?
That everyone...
would be happy if I were gone.
Why did that thought suddenly cross your mind?
No reason.
It just crossed my mind.
I feel like I'm causing so many people trouble.
By any chance, did Ms. Baek resign because of you?
But why? What did you do wrong?
I don't really know what I did wrong.
But...
I think I did something very wrong.
What do you think I should do?
Well... You said you didn't know what you had done wrong.
Then I think you should have an honest conversation with Ms. Baek.
That way, you can find out what you've done wrong...
and clear up any misunderstanding if there are any.
Is that so?
Yes.
You want to quit?
I'm sorry, sir.
Is it because of Director Kang, by any chance?
I guess that's the case.
Why? Does he keep bothering you,
pestering you to go out with him?
No. It's not like that.
Then why?
Why do you have to leave the company?
I thought you were professional.
I'm sorry, sir.
I thought you were better than this. I'm disappointed.
I'll make sure to do my work properly until you find my replacement.
Fine.
I understand. You may leave now.
Yes, sir.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I'm coming back from home.
Mr. Kang.
It won't ever happen again.
I apologize...
on my mother's behalf.
You don't have to do that.
I handed in my resignation again.
And I just talked to CEO Kang about it.
If you keep going on like this, I'll have to tell my father...
that my mother forced you to resign.
Mr. Kang.
What do you mean by all this?
Dad.
Your mom forced her to resign?
What does that mean?
Is it true, Ms. Baek?
- Sir. - Is it true...
that you resigned because my wife forced you to do so?
I understand.
Ms. Baek, you can go back to work now.
Yes, sir.
Is your mom home now?
Yes.
But Dad.
I talked to her so that she could understand.
So can't you pretend you don't know?
Why did you keep chasing her even after she rejected you...
and let things get this messy?
Darn.
- I'll get going now. - I'll be off too.
- Bye. - See you later.
Aren't you two leaving?
Yes, I'll leave soon.
What happens to our business trip scheduled for tomorrow?
Nothing has changed. We're going as planned.
See you tomorrow.
Understood. Then I'll see you tomorrow.
Cha Yeol, aren't you leaving?
Go without me.
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll get going now.
Shall we have a cup of coffee together?
You always left at 6 p.m. sharp.
What has gotten into you?
Do you have something to tell me?
You've been acting strange. What is it?
Just tell me.
Did you...
reject Sung Wook...
because of me?
What?
Sung Wook told me.
That you rejected him...
because of me.
Is that true?
Is that why you looked so worried all day?
Seung Ju.
As I told you before,
I care about you as a friend, which is why I acted friendly.
Since a lot of time has passed,
I thought that you had gotten over me.
I thought I was over you too,
but I wasn't, Cha Yeol.
You fool.
Did you believe that?
What do you mean?
Did you believe what Director Kang said?
Then...
Director Kang said he wouldn't give up on me,
so I had to make it up.
I thought he would give up on me...
if I said I had a crush on you.
Are you serious?
Is that the case, really?
Of course.
Just as you said, many years have passed.
There's no way I still have the same feelings for you.
Right?
That's the truth, right?
Gosh, I didn't know that.
It tormented me all day. You wouldn't know.
Really?
Of course.
Dong Hee was right.
What do you mean, Dong Hee was right?
She advised me to have an honest conversation with you.
She said we could clear up the misunderstanding that way.
Are you and Dong Hee close enough to share things like that?
It happened that way.
Anyway, thank you for telling me that.
No problem.
There's no way...
that In Kyu found out about it, right?
Hi, Ms. Han, it's me.
What is wrong with you?
Honey.
How could you force my employee to quit her job...
just because you're my wife?
How did you find out about that?
You want it to make the headlines...
and get humiliated? Would you come to your senses then?
It wasn't like that. Sung Wook couldn't seem to forget Ms. Baek,
and I asked her to quit so that he wouldn't have to see her.
If you do anything like this again,
I won't let it go like this. Do you understand?
I understand.
Gosh.
This is ridiculous. I can't believe this.
Darn it.
How did he find out?
An overnight business trip?
It's the grand opening of the tenth store in South Chungcheong Province.
It looks like they need some help.
It could be near Taean since it's in South Chungcheong Province.
It's not just near Taean. It's in Taean.
- I see. - Really?
Yes.
I wonder if my mom's old shop is still there.
I'm planning to visit there if I have some free time.
I want to see how her shop changed too.
You should do that. Take some pictures of her shop too.
Okay. I'll do that.
Dong Hee, you're going on a business trip.
You do have your own career now.
I know, right?
Then Mom, will you sleep out tomorrow?
Goodness. He's so quick at understanding.
Yes. I'm sorry, Him Chan.
You don't have to apologize. You're not going there for fun.
It's okay with you, right, Him Chan?
Yes.
If you're scared to sleep alone,
do you want to sleep with me?
That's okay. I'm no longer scared of sleeping alone.
Really? Are you not scared at all?
Of course. All my family members are in the house.
Why would I be scared?
- Oh, my. - That's a good boy.
Thank you for saying that.
I can focus on my work without worrying about you.
- Mom, you're back. - Hi.
What are you doing?
How do I look, Mom?
I haven't seen this jacket before.
Where did you get it? Did you buy it?
No. Dad bought this for me earlier today, so I can wear it on our camping trip.
Did he?
But it looks too big for you.
He should've gotten the right size for you.
Dad said the same thing,
but I picked a bigger size intentionally.
Intentionally? Why?
You know why.
If I picked one in my size, I would only wear it once or twice.
I grew 3cm this year.
So you picked such a big one, so you can wear it for a long time?
Yes. I can wear this at least for three years.
My phone is ringing.
Hi, Ju Eon.
Tomorrow? I can't meet you tomorrow.
I'll go camping with my dad and roast marshmallows on a campfire.
Go to the internet cafe with the others, okay?
Bye.
She must be really excited.
- Hyun Seok. - Yes?
- Hey. - Are you just getting back?
Yes. Are you going out?
- My daughter hasn't come back yet. - I see.
My, what's all this? Are you having a party or something?
I'll have a few guests tomorrow.
I see. But do you know how to cook?
My gosh. Of course, I can cook.
I sell food. I should know how to cook.
You sell food? Why?
My gosh. What do you mean? Why can't I do that?
That's not what I mean.
Didn't you major in literature in college?
Not many people can have a career related to their majors.
We make good dumplings at my shop. Come and visit me some time.
I'll make you a nice bowl of dumpling soup.
Sure. I'll do that.
Okay. I'll go in now.
- Go on in. Rest up. - Bye.
That's disappointing.
I expected him to be a professor or something like that.
Hey, why are you so late?
So? How did it go? Did you hand in your resignation?
What do you think? It went as I planned.
As you planned? Then will you keep working there?
Yes.
Tell me the details. I'm so curious.
I told you everything. I have nothing else to tell you.
Will you go to bed without changing your clothes?
Why do you look so downcast when it went as you planned?
Gosh, that wench.
Anyway, are you sure you can keep your job?
Yes.
Okay. Then that's all that matters.
What on earth is he pondering?
What?
It's getting late.
Aren't you going to bed?
Come on. I apologized to you.
So stop being angry.
Let's go to bed now.
Tell Sung Wook to come down here.
Why do you want him down here?
I need to talk to him. Just go tell him.
What do you want to talk about with him? Tell me first.
Gosh.
Fine.
What are you doing up so late?
I'll have a cup of tea before going to bed.
Your dad wants to talk to you downstairs.
What is it about?
How would I know?
Whatever he says,
go along with him no matter what, okay?
Did you want to see me, Dad?
Sit down.
Can you really not give up on Ms. Baek?
Please give me more time.
I'll win her heart by any means.
She already rejected you. How will you do that?
Dad.
I can't just sit back and watch anymore.
What do you mean? What are you going to do?
Will you let Ms. Baek go?
You made the right decision, honey.
Just let her go since it's already happened this way.
Sung Wook, if you can't give up on Ms. Baek,
I'll transfer you to our branch in Busan.
Dad.
Honey, have you lost your mind?
(Bravo, My Life)
I want you to inherit Inha Fashion.
Just shut it.
Are you telling me to give up on Ms. Baek?
Thank you for inviting us.
Hello. I'm Him Chan.
You remind me of someone.
Cha Yeol, are you sure you'll be okay?
I mean, we're going to Taean.
What? Your grandmother's shop was here?
