(Episode 55)
Mr. Kang!
Hey, Him Chan.
How have you been?
Good! You look so dashing today, Mr. Kang.
Really?
Thanks, Him Chan.
So do you.
Great-aunt Myung Sook told me to put on my nice outfit for you.
You don't need to stand around. Please have a seat.
Okay, thank you.
Dong Hee, can you give me a hand?
Sure thing. I'll be right back.
Okay.
We're all easygoing here,
so please have a seat.
Thank you, Uncle.
I'm home.
Hey.
Did you have dinner with Ms. Baek?
Yes.
Then go upstairs and get some rest.
I have something to tell you.
Seung Ju said she wouldn't accept the apartment and the store.
What do you mean?
Why won't she accept them?
She doesn't want to accept such things just because we're getting married.
She doesn't want to feel indebted for the rest of her life.
She said that?
- Yes. - Did she say anything else?
Anything else? Like what?
Well, I was just wondering.
I suppose she has a lot of pride after all.
I thought she'd accept them with open arms.
Seung Ju is not like that, Mom.
Ms. Baek doesn't want to accept them,
but her mother might be disappointed.
What can we do?
Seung Ju doesn't want to accept them.
Yes, what can we do? She doesn't want them.
It's not like we can force her to accept them.
Why did I bother arranging everything?
Now, I can't even tell them I did all the work.
Then prepare proper wedding gifts for Ms. Baek and her family.
And don't expect them to get us anything.
Okay?
Okay.
Hey, the two families should meet soon.
Ask her mother if we could schedule it for this weekend.
Okay. Will do, Dad.
Why couldn't she just swallow her pride for a moment?
She said no to millions of dollars because of her pride?
That brat...
Okay, we should cut all ties.
Let's cut all ties.
Are you sure about that?
Can I really cut all ties with you?
You brat! What did I do so wrong?
I can't even get those things when I'm marrying you off...
to that rich family?
I mean, they offered.
Why did you have to turn down the offer and ruin everything?
Do you think Ms. Choi was actually going to do that for us?
What?
You think she asked to meet up when she wasn't even going to do it?
Of course.
Otherwise, she would've just given us those things.
Why do you think she called both of us there?
Even so, if you swallowed your pride and said you'd accept them,
she would've done it for us.
No. Even if I hadn't turned it down,
she would've come up with an excuse not to do it for us.
- You really think so? - Yes, I know so.
I know her well enough.
So let's just be grateful that I managed to protect my pride...
and win points with Sung Wook.
Okay, you got to protect your pride and win points. But so what?
What about me? What's in it for me?
Wait just a little longer.
Once I get married and settle down,
I'll make sure you can live comfortably...
even if you say that you don't need my help. Okay?
How much longer do I have to wait?
So what are your plans with Dong Hee?
Seeing how you already told Him Chan,
I'm guessing you're taking this relationship seriously.
I'd like to marry Dong Hee.
But we heard your father was the owner of the company.
Do you think your parents will approve of her?
I'll persuade them.
But how?
There's Him Chan too, you know. It won't be easy to persuade them.
Right, it won't be easy.
But my father isn't as close-minded as you think.
He'll let us get married if he sees that I truly love Dong Hee.
Then when are you planning to tell him?
Auntie Myung Sook, we're in no rush.
The sooner, the better.
What will you do if you have to break up...
after dating for a while because of his parents?
My brother is getting married soon.
I'm planning to tell my parents right after his wedding.
I'd like to get married this year too, if possible.
Cha Yeol.
Why? You don't want to?
He has a clear plan, honey.
Plans are useless if they're not executed.
Please put your trust in me.
I'll persuade my parents no matter what.
In any case, I can't let Dong Hee get hurt.
Just remember that, please.
You understand what I'm saying, right?
Of course, I do.
I'll get going, then.
All right. Get home safely.
Dong Hee. You'll see him off, right?
Yes. I'll be back in a moment.
I'll visit you again soon.
Sure, sounds good.
Get home safely, Mr. Kang.
Thanks, Him Chan. Let's have fun the next time we hang out.
Okay.
- Let's go. - Okay.
How was that for you, honey?
What about you?
What did you think of him?
I like him.
I didn't know what to think when I just heard about him,
but now that I've met him,
I really hope things work out between him and Dong Hee.
Why? Do you not like him?
I do, of course.
He's a great guy.
Honestly, I want Dong Hee to marry him.
And I can see why she fell for him.
Then let's give them all the support they need.
I'd be so happy if that was all it took for things to work out.
Today must've been stressful for you.
No, I had a great time.
- Really? - Yes.
Your aunt and uncle are both so wonderful.
They truly care for you as if you're their own daughter.
I know. And that's why they're so worried.
This is nice.
Shall we walk together like this all night?
You know we can't do that.
Dong Hee.
What do you think about what I said earlier?
What?
I said I wanted to get married this year.
Oh, that...
Why? You don't want to?
It won't be easy to persuade your parents.
So let's not rush things.
I can wait.
I can't wait.
I want to be your and Him Chan's shelter as soon as possible.
So let's get married this year.
Please say yes.
Please?
Okay, let's get married.
Mom! Aren't you going to the hair salon?
You have to go to the salon.
You're still in bed?
You need to get ready.
We still have lots of time.
No, we don't.
We'll barely make it on time if we're going to stop by the hair salon.
I'll just wash my hair and head out.
You can go to the salon alone.
Are you really going to be like this?
What?
Will you keep this up just because I said no to the apartment and the store?
Hey.
Let's be honest. What's the point of marrying you off to a rich family?
Jae Seok was way better.
Mom!
It's true.
He couldn't even afford it,
but he took out a loan to get us this apartment.
What is this?
This is not good, Mom.
Don't come today. I'll meet his family alone.
That brat. How's she going to meet his family without me?
Hey, it's me.
Him Chan got his cast removed.
Let's take him to a theme park today.
I'm sorry. Him Chan and I have to go somewhere.
What? Where do you have to go?
I want to go see my brother at the columbarium.
Your brother? Why?
It's his birthday today.
So I want to visit him with Him Chan.
Really?
Then can I tag along?
You want to come with us?
Yes.
I can't?
You can come, but...
Do you really want to come with us?
Yes, I do.
Okay, then let's go together.
All right. I'll leave now. Wait for me.
I'll call you when I'm there.
Okay.
I'm stepping out.
Where are you going?
I'm meeting someone.
What are you talking about?
Don't you know that we're meeting Ms. Baek's family today?
Oh, really?
Honey, what is going on here?
Didn't you tell Cha Yeol?
He doesn't need to be there.
It's not like he doesn't know Ms. Baek.
Mother's right. Just go without me.
Stop talking nonsense.
You need to be there to meet your brother's future in-laws.
We're just meeting Seung Ju and her mother.
It'll be awkward if we outnumber them by a lot.
There are only three of us.
Cha Yeol, cancel your plans and go get changed.
Do I really have to be there?
Yes, of course. Do as I say.
Honey, we should get ready too.
Gosh, you're so stubborn.
Hey, why didn't you head out earlier?
Why get caught by your father?
How do I look? Does this suit me?
You're good-looking,
so you look great in anything.
Oh, please.
How do I look, Jung Eun? Does this suit me?
How do you feel? Do you like that uniform?
I do, of course.
That's all that matters. If you're happy, I like it too.
Will you be okay with the work itself?
Yes, sure thing. I'm off to work.
All right, sounds good.
- Have a good day, Jung Ho. - You too.
(Hana Dumplings)
He seems so energetic. I'm really glad.
Me too.
Mom, where are we going today?
To see my brother.
We're going to see Uncle?
Yes.
I thought he was watching over us from up above.
Yes, he is.
But there's a place where we can go and see him when we miss him.
I see.
(Kang Cha Yeol)
Go downstairs, Him Chan.
I'll take this call and meet you downstairs.
Okay.
Hi, it's me.
I'm really sorry. I don't think I can go with you.
Why not?
We're meeting Ms. Baek's family today to talk about the wedding.
My father said I had to be there too.
I see. It's for your brother's wedding. Of course, you should be there.
Don't worry. I hope it goes well.
I'm really sorry.
It's really fine.
By the way, you didn't know the meeting was today?
My family is always like this.
Always?
Don't worry.
I'm used to this.
Still, it doesn't sound like you're used to it.
You're right.
I should be used to it by now,
so I don't know why I feel this way every time it happens.
So you're upset now?
Why? If I am, will you make me feel better?
What can I do to make you feel better?
Tell me. If it's something I can do, I'll do it.
Really?
Then tell me that you love me.
What?
Why? You said you wanted to make me feel better.
Come on.
Do you have to hear me say that to feel better?
Yes.
So say it already.
Come on.
Okay.
To tell you the truth, I wanted to say this in person.
But since you're saying you must hear it now...
I'll say it.
I love you.
Seo Dong Hee loves Kang Cha Yeol...
very much.
What? It sounds like you had it all prepared.
I'm so touched.
So? Do you feel better now?
Of course. So much better.
I'm glad.
Dong Hee.
You know that Kang Cha Yeol loves Seo Dong Hee very much, right?
Yes. Of course, I do.
I'm glad you know that.
Go see your brother.
Okay.
Are you sure you can go there alone with Him Chan?
Shall I come with you?
No, it's okay. I'll just go with Him Chan.
All right. Be safe.
Him Chan, be a good boy.
Okay, Great-aunt Myung Sook. See you later.
See you.
- Let's go. - Okay.
He has no idea that he's going there to see his father.
Mom, I beg you.
Please keep to yourself today, okay?
Don't worry, you brat.
I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone.
Hello, Mother.
- You're early. - Yes.
Hello, sir.
Sorry we're late.
No, we got here early.
Mom, say hello. This is Sung Wook's father.
Hello, I'm Seung Ju's mother.
Hello, I'm Sung Wook's father.
Oh, this is my wife.
Honey, we've met.
We've even played golf together.
Hello, Ms. Bang. Have you been well?
Yes, of course.
This is my younger son.
Say hello, Cha Yeol.
Hello, I'm Kang Cha Yeol.
Nice to meet you.
Ms. Baek is Cha Yeol's direct supervisor.
Oh, really?
Well, let's all sit down.
Yes, please take a seat.
Hello...
You're back.
Yes.
What would you like to get done today?
I need a trim.
I see. Please sit over here.
How much trim do you need?
Where is the male hairstylist who gave me a blowout?
I'd like to get a trim from him.
I cleaned everything.
- You're back. - Hello.
I'd like a trim.
You'd like me to do it?
Yes.
Well... Like I explained the other day,
I'm not a certified hairstylist yet.
That's fine. Just try it.
But it's a trim, not even a blowout.
It's really fine.
Please take care of it.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
Are you sure?
Yes, of course.
Then I'll just cut a bit off.
Sure.
So?
When do you think their wedding should take place?
I'm not sure.
What's your plan?
I'm not sure.
The sooner, the better, Mom.
Okay, so when?
We want to get married next month.
That soon?
Will that be okay with you?
I'm not sure.
Are you okay with that?
Yes, Mom.
- One moment, Him Chan. - Okay.
(Kang Cha Yeol)
My brother wants to get married next month.
It means we can get married sooner than we thought.
Aren't you in the middle of the family meeting?
Stop texting me.
Focus on the meeting, Mr. Kang Cha Yeol.
I'm sorry. Please continue.
My parents said you didn't need to prepare any gifts for our family,
so please don't worry about it, Mother.
- Really? - Yes.
Still, that's not right.
Mother, please give me a list of things you'd like.
I'll do my best to prepare everything.
Like Sung Wook said, you don't need to get us anything.
You can just move in.
No, Father. I should do my duty.
It's okay. It's not like the things you prepare...
will be up to our standards anyway.
Don't bother.
I'll take care of everything, so don't worry about it.
Why is everyone staring at me like that?
Do I have something on my face?
Honey, did you have to word it like that?
What?
You also told them earlier that they shouldn't get us anything.
But you didn't word it like that.
Apologize to Ms. Bang at once.
Were you offended by what I said?
Wouldn't you be offended if you were me?
I was just trying to be considerate.
If I offended you, I apologize.
But why is it that I don't feel any better...
even after hearing you apologize?
Mom.
What?
I apologize on my wife's behalf.
I'm sorry, Ms. Bang.
Thank you for saying that, Mr. Kang.
I feel better now.
Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.
Sure, go ahead.
Mother, then should I not get anything before we get married?
No, I told you not to worry about it.
Okay, I won't. Thank you for being so considerate, Mother.
Thanks for understanding, Seung Ju.
Not at all. I just want to thank Mother for being so considerate.
Thank you for being so understanding.
I need to use the restroom too.
I can't believe she said that.
What? "It won't be up to our standards?"
Says someone who is giving us nothing.
I swear.
No one will be more giving and thoughtful than Jae Seok was.
"Jae Seok?"
Jae Seok, I'm here.
I came with Him Chan today.
Look, he's a big boy now.
Mom, I want to say hi to Uncle Jae Seok too.
You do? Sure, say hello.
Okay.
Hi, Uncle Jae Seok. I'm Him Chan.
(Seo Jae Seok)
You're doing well up there, right?
Mom and I are doing great.
So please continue to watch over us.
I'm done, Mom.
Well done.
Well, we'll let them discuss the details on their own.
Let's get going.
Sure, okay.
Hold on. Who is Jae Seok?
Pardon me?
Who is Jae Seok?
Jae Seok.
(Bravo, My Life)
Let's grab a drink. To tell you the truth,
- I've been coming here to see you. - Wait...
Mom, have you completely lost your mind?
You need to get this sorted out. This is on you.
Hey! What am I supposed to do?
Then what about Him Chan? She abandoned him in an empty house?
Something's fishy.
Who is Jae Seok?
