(Episode 37)
I see he hasn't come yet.
Dong Hee has a child.
She is...
a single mother.
Mr. Kang.
Yes. Hello.
Please come in.
Yes, thank you.
What's taking him so long?
(Seo Dong Hee)
(1 new message received)
Cha Yeol, did something happen on your way?
I'm worried. Call me when you get this.
I'm afraid I will have to cancel our plans. I'm sorry.
What? I wonder what happened to him.
Then I'll get going.
Goodbye.
You're still here.
Mr. Kang.
I saw you here when I came in.
I had a meeting with a buyer here.
I see.
It took me a while to decide to come down to talk to you.
If it makes you uncomfortable, I'll leave.
Please sit.
What is it? Is it about Cha Yeol again?
He said he had a crush on Dong Hee.
And that he was going to tell her how he felt.
Did he say that to you?
That's cruel of him.
So I told him...
that Dong Hee had a child.
So...
Did that make you feel any better?
No, not at all.
I thought that telling him that would feel great.
But it didn't.
It only felt as if I'd shown him how horrible I could be.
And that made me feel so small.
I know how that feels.
But don't beat yourself up.
Anyone would've done the same in that situation.
So... What happens now?
Does it mean you have hope once again?
I wish that were the case.
But I'm not sure.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said such things to you.
Well, what am I going to do?
If I have no choice but to go through this,
I must deal with it.
Dong Hee.
Are you just getting back, Uncle Jung Ho?
Yes. Did you work overtime?
No.
Then did you have dinner plans with someone?
Yes.
But why do you look so downcast?
Did something happen?
No, nothing happened.
Let's go in, Uncle Jung Ho.
Okay. Let's go in.
Here we go.
Honey, I'm home.
Jung Ho, you're home. Did you have dinner?
No, I want to eat now.
You too, Dong Hee?
No, I'm good.
Then I'll go upstairs.
- Okay. - Okay. Rest up.
Jung Ho, go and wash up. I'll fix you dinner.
Wait. Did Myung Sook go out?
Why are you preparing dinner?
What? Well... She seems to be feeling under the weather.
What?
Honey, are you feeling unwell?
No.
Are you sure you're fine?
I said I was fine.
Then did something happen earlier today?
Nothing happened.
You should have dinner.
Jung Eun is preparing dinner for me. Leave it to her.
Why don't you let her do it?
Wash up and come out.
I'll make dinner for Jung Ho, Myung Sook.
Did you tell Jung Ho about it?
If I had told him,
he wouldn't be so quiet like this.
I knew that Tae Pyung was stupid.
But I can't believe you got involved in it too.
I'm sorry, Myung Sook.
I don't want to see you. Leave.
Okay.
Mom, look at this.
Yes. What?
Oh, this? What's this?
I drew this for the drawing contest.
What do you think? Did I do a good job?
My goodness. Did you really draw this?
This is amazing. You did an excellent job.
Really? Then I'll show it to Great-aunt Myung Sook too.
Here you go.
I hope everything is okay with him.
Hey, did you sleep well?
Good morning.
I'll leave for work now.
Without having breakfast?
Yes. I have no appetite.
Cha Yeol.
Come here and sit down.
Come on.
Did something happen yesterday?
No.
Why do you ask?
You can tell me.
You couldn't be more cheerful yesterday morning.
What's the matter?
It's nothing you should worry about.
What is it? Do you have any trouble getting with a girl?
I'm not interested in dating.
Why aren't you interested? You're young and healthy.
Are you really not seeing anyone?
No.
Your father said he wouldn't disapprove of anyone you liked.
If you have someone special, introduce her to us.
I just told you that I wasn't seeing anyone.
Right. Okay.
Then go on a blind date as I suggested.
Honey, set him up on a blind date as soon as possible.
Okay.
I should find someone who wouldn't mind moving to the US with him, right?
Why are you looking at me like that?
I thought Cha Yeol would go back to the US in a year.
You're right, I will.
But I don't need anyone to go there with me.
I'll get going now, Father.
Honey, can't you be a little affectionate toward Cha Yeol?
You should have said it to Cha Yeol.
Didn't you see him giving me the cold shoulder?
You're the one who made him upset by saying he was going back to the US.
You're his elder, so act like one.
Sometimes, you seem to have forgotten that you're his mother.
Gosh, seriously. I'm tired of getting nagged by him.
Good morning.
Hey, I'm glad you're down here.
Come over here.
I think that Cha Yeol found out about it.
About what?
That the girl has a child. I think he found out about it.
How do you know that?
I could just tell by looking at his face.
He looked totally devastated.
Hold on. Did you know about it too?
I happened to hear it.
From whom?
Did Ms. Baek tell you that?
Does that matter?
Why that little...
Gosh. Could he still have feelings for Ms. Baek?
This is bad. I should get her fired as soon as possible.
Cha Yeol.
What happened yesterday?
Did something bad happen?
No.
Then why did you have to cancel our plans?
I apologized already.
Cha Yeol.
Good morning.
- Hello. - Good morning.
Hello, Ms. Baek.
Hi.
I'll have coffee. You'll have some too, right?
No, I'm fine.
I'll bring mine by myself. Mind your own business.
Okay, then.
Hi, Ms. Han. It's me.
Didn't you say...
that it was Ms. Baek who switched the suppliers...
from Joobin Fabric to Bosung Fabric?
Yes, that's right. Why do you ask, Ms. Choi?
Then do you also know why she decided...
to switch the suppliers?
Well... I don't know the reason.
You don't? Then can you look into it?
Find out why Ms. Baek switched the suppliers...
without letting her know.
Yes. Understood, Ms. Choi.
Good.
I'm sure she received some money in return for it.
Or else,
she wouldn't have fired the supplier that they had worked with for a long time.
Right?
Hyun Seok, I'm here.
Hey.
Why didn't you take a few more days off?
I couldn't just rest at home when I knew you'd have to work hard alone.
It must've been really hard for you to work without me.
Not at all.
I can take care of everything without you. So go home to rest.
You might get worse.
I took the medicine you sent me yesterday,
and I fully recovered. So don't worry.
But how did you think of using a courier service?
Why is it so hard?
Anyone could've come up with the idea.
Is that so? Then does it make me weird?
What do you mean? Why would it make you weird?
Never mind.
I didn't know you would send it via courier service.
My gosh. I don't understand...
What should I do first?
Listen, Hye Ran.
Why don't you quit working here?
You said you got sick because you started working the job you had never done before.
I really don't think you belong here.
Don't be ridiculous.
Where else would I belong?
I know this is where I belong.
Let's stop talking about it, and get to work.
- But... - Give me that.
(Hana Dumplings)
It looks like the wedding season is back.
Why? Is someone you know getting married?
Assistant Manager Yang who works in the pattern room...
will have a family meeting later today.
I don't even remember the last time I was asked out.
Dong Hee, when was the last time you were asked out?
What? I have never been asked out.
That can't be true.
How come no one has ever asked out such an attractive lady like you?
Thank you for saying that.
What about me? Am I not attractive?
Let's go out for lunch.
Gosh.
Ms. Baek, I'm tired of eating at the cafeteria.
How about we go outside since it's been a while?
Sure. I don't mind.
Cha Yeol, aren't you coming with us?
Go without me. I have no appetite.
Then shall I get you some gimbap on my way back?
No, that's okay.
If you don't want gimbap, how about a sandwich...
I said I didn't need anything.
Let's go without him.
Okay.
I didn't know I was such a loser.
You want to find a job when you're 60?
(Recruiting Agency)
But you need some other qualifications than a driver's license to get a job.
Hi, Ja Young. Have you been well?
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Right now?
(Hyena Hair Salon)
What? A multilevel marking scam?
Yes.
Are you sure?
Are you sure they fell for a scam?
I'm almost 100 percent sure.
Those brats.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
You should've told me as soon as you found out.
I'm sorry, Father.
Well, you have nothing to do with him now.
I shouldn't blame you.
Anyway, thank you for letting me know.
I'll be off now.
Go home safely.
Oh, my. Grandpa, hello.
Hi, Hye Na.
I have something urgent to take care of right now.
I'll see you later, okay?
Okay. Goodbye.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
Mom.
You told Grandpa, didn't you?
Did you see him?
Yes. He seemed furious.
What do we do now?
Nothing. The ones who caused the trouble will deal with the consequences.
Dad won't be kicked out of Grandpa's house, right?
Why did you nag me...
to tell your grandpa if you were going to worry so much?
It's still better than getting scammed.
Boring. There's nothing good to watch.
I'll just watch the news.
This morning, the prosecution announced...
that they had arrested five criminals from the multilevel company A Global...
for fraud, and they had begun...
- an investigation into the case. - What? "A Global?"
They promised a 400-percent interest rate...
for investments in quickly growing K-content...
and took about 130 million dollars from 30,000 people...
Darn it.
Mom.
That's the company, right?
That's the company you invested my money in, right?
Hey, Tae Pyung. We're in big trouble.
Myung Sook.
Did you see the news too?
Mom, sit down and calm down for now.
Give me my money back now.
Sit down and calm yourself first, Mom.
Your blood pressure might go up, and you might collapse.
Just give me my money back.
Give me back my money that you took without even asking me!
What do you mean by all this?
- Dad. - Gosh.
Honey.
Why are you telling him to give you back your money?
What do you mean by that?
- The thing is... - Did they...
take your money to invest in the multilevel company?
- What? - Dad, I can explain.
I just heard from Ja Young. Don't you dare lie to me!
Yes, you're right. They did.
My goodness.
Dad.
Is that how I raised you?
Answer me!
Dad.
Honey.
I understand that you're angry,
but how could you slap him in the face?
Get out of this house this instant.
Leave at once!
Why are you still here? Get out now.
Okay, Jung Ho.
I'll go. I'm leaving.
Darn.
Can I talk to you briefly in the kitchenette?
This is ridiculous.
What are you doing here?
Nothing, Ms. Baek.
What's with Cha Yeol?
He's acting strange, right?
Did something happen between you and Cha Yeol?
He seems a little bit upset with you.
I don't know.
Are you okay?
What do you mean?
You look shocked.
Do you wish I hadn't told you that?
No.
What are you going to do with Dong Hee?
I overestimated myself.
To be honest, now that I know that about her,
I'm not sure I can be with her.
Are you saying you'll give up on her?
You made the right decision.
I'm going to the fabric room.
Okay. See you later.
Ms. Kim.
I'll head out to do market research, and go home after that.
Okay, then.
Ms. Kim, can I head out now too?
You too?
Yes.
Go ahead.
See you tomorrow.
Cha Yeol.
Can we go somewhere to have a talk?
I have nothing to talk about with you.
What are you doing now?
I want to talk to you.
What on earth happened yesterday?
What happened to make you...
Why didn't you tell me?
What do you mean? What didn't I tell you?
I heard you had a child.
What?
You have a child, don't you?
How did you find out about it?
Does that matter?
Why didn't you tell me you had a child?
Why didn't you tell me?
Why should I have told you that?
What?
Why would the fact that I have a child...
be a problem for you? Why should I have told you that?
- Dong Hee. - Are you being cold to me...
because you found out that I had a child?
I understand that you must be surprised.
But I don't know why you're getting upset at me.
Do you really not know?
Don't you know why I'm being like this?
No.
I don't know. Why are you being like this?
It's because I like you.
It's because I have...
feelings for you, Dong Hee.
(Bravo, My Life)
I got kicked out of my house.
Can I work part-time here?
Where will you sleep?
Mr. Jang, you have a small room at the back of your shop, right?
Will you stay here?
Is everything okay with you?
I don't want things to be awkward between us forever.
Thank you for caring for me.
But I...
