What do you like so much about Dong Hee?
I just don't get it.
Anyone can tell that she's a nobody.
Why do you like her so much?
You may think she's a nobody who has nothing to offer.
Even if that's what everyone thinks of her,
she shines more brightly than anyone else in my eyes.
She has confidently overcome every crisis that has come her way.
In my eyes, she sparkles so brightly,
and I can't help but like her.
Frankly, I've never felt this way before.
I've never liked or longed for anyone so much before.
You...
You're losing your mind.
Yes.
I guess I am.
So stop having feelings for me.
Move on and find someone who can love you back.
Okay.
I can't do this anymore.
I'm sick and tired of this unrequited love.
I really can't do this anymore.
Enjoy, kids.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
Thank you, Great-aunt Myung Sook.
No problem.
I'm home.
- Mom. - Him Chan.
Hi. You must be Him Chan's friends.
- Hello. - Hello.
Yes. I heard you got into a fight with Him Chan yesterday.
We're sorry.
I didn't invite you over to scold you.
I just want you guys to get along.
You'll get along with Him Chan from now on, right?
- Of course! - Of course!
Great, thank you.
Eat lots of good food today.
I bought some fried chicken too. Eat as much as you want.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Here.
Here you go, kids.
Him Chan, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too.
It's okay. Let's eat.
- Okay! - Okay!
Hey, it's mine.
- Let's eat! - Thank you, Auntie Myung Sook.
It's so good.
- Don't mention it. - It's delicious!
I heard you called and spoke with their moms.
Yes. It was something they said in passing without thinking...
that the kids would overhear it and cause something like this.
They all feel very bad about it.
That's why you always have to watch what you say.
In any case, they told me they gave the kids an earful...
and apologized to me.
I see.
You know, things like this will happen from time to time.
I'm already worried.
So don't think that you have to raise Him Chan all by yourself.
You should consider getting married.
You can't raise Him Chan by yourself and live alone forever.
You need to live your life too.
Right?
I'll go wash up quickly and come down.
I'm hoping things would work out between me and Dong Hee.
Even though she has Him Chan?
Yes.
Why?
Do you feel different about Him Chan now that you know he is...
her nephew and not her own child?
Frankly, I can't deny that.
So I am embarrassed of myself. I feel pathetic.
No, you don't need to feel that way.
It's only natural.
The thing is, I'm sure you already know this,
but Dong Hee thinks of Him Chan...
as her own child even though she didn't actually give birth to him.
Do you get what I'm trying to say?
Yes. Of course, I do.
I do worry about you as well,
but I'm not sure whether Dong Hee would accept you. It worries me.
She made up her mind years ago that she'd devote her life to Him Chan.
I'll try my best.
I'll do my best.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
I'll get going, then.
Make sure you lock the door when you leave.
Okay, bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
Auntie Jung Eun.
Hey, why are you back?
Let me sleep here for the time being.
What?
I have nowhere to go.
Even so, you can't sleep here.
What if Ja Young finds out?
I'll leave before Ja Young gets here. Don't worry.
I'd sleep at the sauna if I had the money, but I don't.
Have you found a job yet?
Yes. I started a job at a courier company today.
So let me stay here just for a month.
How did we end up in this mess?
I don't have time for a pity party. Just go. I'm exhausted.
Make sure you leave early in the morning so Ja Young won't see you, okay?
Don't you worry.
- Bye, Auntie Jung Eun. - Bye.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
(My daughter)
Hey, what's up?
Dad, where are you?
Why do you ask?
Don't tell me you're sleeping out on the streets now.
Hey, what do you take me for?
So? Did you call because you were worried about me?
Yes.
Don't worry. I'm doing fine.
Dad, what's your bank account number?
My bank account number? Why do you ask?
I've been saving my allowance. I'll send it to you,
so tell me your bank account number.
Hey, don't worry about it.
I can't do that to you.
How could I spend my daughter's allowance money?
Who cares? You're the one who gave me the money.
Still, that's just wrong.
Dad, please turn things around so I can stop worrying about you. Okay?
Okay, I will.
All right, bye.
All I do is make my daughter worry about me.
Why do I even live?
Let's go!
Who said you could come into my room whenever you want to?
My room? Give me a break.
This is Hyun Seok's room, not your room.
I'm using the room now, so it is mine for the time being.
So? You don't want me barging into this room?
Of course, I don't.
Fine. Then I won't come into this room anymore...
if you sign this.
What is it?
Why don't you open it and see? Read it.
"I, Kim Jung Eun, promise that I will never flirt..."
"with Jang Hyun Seok, the owner of Hana Dumplings."
What is this?
What do you think? It's a written pledge.
Go ahead and sign.
Why do I have to sign this?
If you don't, I'll keep coming into this room.
Is that okay with you?
I can't believe this.
Then you can't rest, read, or write. Are you really okay with that?
Fine.
If I sign this thing, you will never come into my room again, right?
Yes, you have my word.
You promised.
Go ahead and sign it. Go on.
Jung Eun, may I come in for a moment?
Yes, come in.
I thought you went home. What are you doing here?
I told you that I'd wait for you so we could go home together.
My goodness. You're funny.
What were you doing?
Nothing. What's up?
Here, I wanted to give you these.
What are these?
Take a look.
My gosh. These are books by Ko Eun Hee.
These books are out of print. Where did you get them?
The truth is, the poet Ko Eun Hee is...
my late wife.
What? Seriously?
You're Ko Eun Hee's husband?
Yes.
I was so grateful to hear that you were a fan of my wife's books,
and that's why I wanted to treat you to a meal.
My goodness. I had no idea.
What's with that face? You look smitten.
Anyway, I'll cherish these books. Thank you so much.
My pleasure. Get some rest.
- Thank you. - Hey, let's go.
Wait outside. I have to take care of some unfinished business.
Goodness. Sure.
Sign it now.
What are you waiting for? Sign it.
I refuse to sign this.
What?
Ms. Baek, are you all right?
You're here.
How much did you drink?
I'm sorry.
But you were the only person I could call, Director Kang.
Can I ask...
what's going on?
Is it because of Cha Yeol again?
He says he still likes Seo Dong Hee...
even though he now knows that she has a child.
So today, I ended things with him for good.
What?
Kang Cha Yeol...
is no longer a part of my life.
And you're heartbroken?
Is that why you drank so much?
Yes.
But I'll let myself be heartbroken just for today.
I'll let it hurt me only for today.
Starting tomorrow, I'll completely erase him from my mind.
Completely, without a single trace.
All right, then.
You probably want to cry.
Then go for it.
Only then can you let him go.
Hey, where did you have to go so late at night?
I had to take care of something.
What? It's really late.
Good night, Mom.
That brat...
It's 50,000 dollars.
Did you say 50,000 dollars?
Put it in Ms. Baek's desk drawer and make sure no one sees you doing it.
Then send an anonymous letter to Internal Affairs.
An anonymous letter?
That's right. In the letter, you'll write...
that you saw Ms. Baek receiving money from one of the suppliers.
In any case, just do as I say.
Then,
I'll make sure you're not reprimanded for taking a bribe from Joobin Fabric.
Got it?
- Really? - Yes.
My gosh, I'm sure it was delicious.
It was so good.
Ms. Kim, you're early today.
Hey, good morning.
What's gotten into you?
You came in early to clean?
Am I not allowed to come in early?
It's me, ma'am.
Yes.
How did it go? Did you do it?
Yes, just now.
I hope no one saw you.
No one.
Well done.
Ma'am, then I won't be reprimanded, right?
Don't worry about that. I'll take care of that now.
What are you doing here?
Sorry? Nothing.
I made some coffee. Feel free to have some.
What's with her?
Did you get home safely last night?
Yes, as you can see.
I'm sorry about last night.
Kang Cha Yeol. I told you last night.
I'm done liking you.
So you don't need to worry about me anymore.
Okay. I won't worry, then.
Thanks, Seung Ju.
You don't need to thank me, but let me give you a word of advice.
Seo Dong Hee is not the one for you.
Here, I got this.
It's okay. I can do it.
You're not the only newbie on the team.
I'm a newbie too, so let's do it together.
All right, then.
(Bosung Fabric)
I'll take that security guard position.
I'm sorry. Someone else already took that position.
What?
I asked you to give me a day to think about it.
Right, I know.
But someone younger than you with experience wanted the job,
so I had no choice.
The apartment building wanted him as well.
Even so...
Are there no other vacant positions at the moment?
At the moment, no.
You're looking pretty good for someone who drank that much last night.
Yes, I feel good.
I'm glad to hear that.
Let me know when you're free. I want to buy you dinner.
You want to buy me dinner?
You kindly listened whenever I vented to you about my problems.
So I want to thank you.
Then how about today?
Today?
Why? Do you have plans for the evening?
No, I don't.
Then buy me dinner this evening.
Okay, sure.
Then I'll see you later.
All right.
Did you need him to sign off on something?
Yes, sir.
All right, then. I won't keep you.
Have a good day.
(Executive Director Kang Sung Wook)
Yes.
Dad. What brings you to my office?
I just saw Ms. Baek leave your office.
Right. She needed my approval on something.
Was that the only reason she was here?
Sorry?
What do you mean?
Both Ms. Baek and you seem to be in a good mood today.
Am I wrong?
We're having dinner together this evening.
What's going on between you two?
Nothing, really.
We're just good friends now.
We listen to each other's worries and problems.
You fool. You can do that when she flat out rejected you?
Right?
I didn't think it'd be possible, but I guess it is.
Then just stay friends. Don't think about taking it any further.
I'll figure it out, Dad.
Don't waste your time and energy. I suggest you heed my advice.
I need to do some work outside the office. Can I go straight home after that?
What do you need to do?
I need to get some ideas for the design concept.
Okay, sure.
Then I'll tag along.
I'll take photos for you.
I won't be returning to the office for the day either.
Sure.
Let's go.
We'll get going, then. See you tomorrow.
I think it'd be nice to use a park as our motive for the design concept.
What do you think?
Yes, I think it's a good idea.
Then could you take a bunch of pictures of the park?
Anywhere I want?
Didn't you tag along to take pictures?
Well...
Sure, then let me flaunt my skills.
My gosh, it's so pretty. Could you take a picture?
That, over there?
What do you think?
It's so beautiful! And that spot over there too.
Over there?
Look.
My gosh, you really are a talented photographer.
What about those trees?
Over there?
My, the flowers are so beautiful.
Can you take a picture of this right here?
Right here?
What do you think?
It's so nice.
Wow, this photo is so cool.
This one too.
My gosh, you really are an amazing photographer.
How did you take this one?
What? Which one?
This? It's easy. You just have to use long exposure.
I see.
I think we have enough.
Let's go have dinner. I'm hungry.
No. Why don't we...
go over to the other side and take some more photos?
What? More? I think we have more than enough.
Come on. Follow me.
What are you doing? Come on.
I can't. I'm scared.
Scared of what?
I have aquaphobia.
Aquaphobia?
That's right.
So you can't even cross this stream?
No, I can't.
Or you can hold my hand.
Then I might be able to.
You don't want to?
Forget it, then.
Okay.
Here, hold my hand.
Be careful.
Careful.
Now, you can let go.
What?
My hand.
Go on and take some photos.
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Kim.
Yes?
Why are you so startled?
Don't mind me. What is it, Ms. Baek?
I have dinner plans, so I have to get going.
You guys can get going when you're done.
Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, Ms. Baek.
All right. See you tomorrow.
How may we help you?
Who is Ms. Baek Seung Ju?
It's me. I am Baek Seung Ju. Who are you?
We're from Internal Affairs.
We received a tip-off about you.
A tip-off? What do you mean?
We've been told that you took a bribe from one of our suppliers.
I beg your pardon? A bribe?
Yes.
Who sent such a preposterous tip-off?
Who was it?
That we cannot tell you.
We'd like to search your desk.
Would that be okay?
I have never received a bribe from anyone.
Then allow us to search your desk.
Ms. Baek Seung Ju?
Sure. I have nothing to hide,
so go ahead and search all you want.
Go for it.
Search her desk.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
But if you don't find anything,
I won't let this slide. So you'd better be ready for the consequences.
Do you understand?
Found it.
(Bravo, My Life)
What do you think of Cha Yeol?
Why don't you date him?
Why don't you find someone to date instead of being a matchmaker for others?
He wouldn't have offered to walk you home if he had no interest in you.
He likes you, Dong Hee.
This is a put-up job. I was set up!
- Ms. Baek. - It wasn't me.
I really didn't do it.
