(Episode 91)
Aren't you curious who that person...
was yesterday?
She's Ga On's mom.
That's why I couldn't say anything.
I didn't know how and what to say.
I'm not sure...
what to say either.
Is that why you were suffering?
No.
I was suffering because of you.
Because of me?
Although it's a bit late, now I know how I feel.
I can't go back to how it was before.
I can't be friends with you either.
Sul Ak.
Can you?
You might shed tears because of me,
but don't tell me to be your enemy...
or a friend.
It's warm. You should drink it.
Don't you want to ask me anything?
Why did you come?
Ga On.
What did you come here for?
I waited for you for so long.
I waited for you, Mom.
But why now?
I don't need a mom anymore.
I can manage on my own...
without a mom now.
Why are you trying to be my mom now?
When I go to the playground,
other kids would come with their mom.
I'd be with a nanny...
or Auntie.
Everyone would be with their mom on the picnic,
and I'd be with Auntie...
or Min Joo.
Do you know how I hated that?
Do you know how fascinated and jealous I was...
of my friend's mom when I visit their home?
One day, I stopped going to the playground...
and picnics.
I didn't even make friends...
because I'm the only one without a mom.
Enough.
That's enough, Ga On.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I...
even bought my first sanitary pad with my money.
I couldn't tell anyone.
I had so many questions and was scared of many things.
But you weren't there then.
So why now...
when I can do everything on my own?
I can do everything by myself now.
I don't know to what extent your dad told you,
I heard about you last Christmas.
I wanted to see you right away,
but I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do, and Sul Ak...
I wasn't sure how to tell your dad.
I was so scared and afraid.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
If I was a mother, I should have checked numerously with my eyes...
to see if my child was dead and never give up.
I haven't done anything for the past 15 years.
I was really bad. I'm the bad one.
You're right.
You're not qualified to be a mom.
I think that's what I wanted to believe.
Even if I heard you were alive,
I was too scared.
I was only 17 back then.
I was only your age.
Don't worry too much.
She came here to see Ga On and met me due to work.
She'll go back soon.
I'm so stuffed.
Hey, you guys are home.
Were you home?
We went to eat at Buruna Noodles today.
Why?
- Oh, to have some cold noodles? - Yes.
But we had boiled meat and mung bean pancake instead.
They ran out of all days.
You should come next time when I'm there.
- Okay. It's so hot today. - It is.
Jang Won, have you seen Ga On lately?
No.
I texted her at the restaurant, but she ignored it.
Why?
Did something happen to her?
It's nothing.
You should be good to her and listen to her concerns.
Always.
I think they're an acquaintance.
Shall I serve them mung bean pancake and boiled meat on the house?
What a great actor he is.
The more I see him, the more handsome he looks.
It's time for me to get some repair work done too.
Since it's the first day of the holiday,
let me get some fresh air.
Don't you dare run away again.
Goodbye.
What could it be?
Gye Ok wouldn't have said anything.
Do I have an upset stomach because of that capsicin tteokbokki?
I feel nauseous.
What's wrong with me?
Honey, I'm here. Dad!
Welcome, honey.
Father popped to the restaurant for a bit.
It smells great.
I'm cooking dried pollack soup you like.
Hey, Geum Gang.
Hey, you're home.
Welcome. You should have breakfast before you leave.
I only have a few things and you call me here to take that?
Try thinking about the five of us living in that small room.
Take all of those useless things out.
Oh, what about my cash certificate?
What?
You said you'll write me one.
How much interest will you pay me?
Interest?
Did you think I just gave you the money?
I didn't. I need to pay for my rent and living expenses with that.
I didn't say I won't.
The legal limit is 24 percent.
I'll only receive ten percent since you're my brother.
Only ten percent?
Do you know how much ten percent of 100,000 dollars is?
I told you that it's eight percent.
That's quite a lot compared to the bank.
Fine.
I'll send you my account number.
Don't forget it's the third day of every month.
I even petitioned for him to move in with his girlfriend.
I shouldn't have been so touched.
Hey! You should start counting from today.
Yes, this is Buruna Noodles.
You're coming here today at one o'clock, right?
I'm calling just to check.
Don't forget the option I added and proceed without any error.
Okay.
Why did you come out?
Look how I can't see a glimpse of Baek Doo.
If I was him, I would've come and tried making the soup again.
So are you really going to hand it over to Chef Cha?
You said you can't even trust your daughter-in-law,
so how much will you suffer by letting a stranger take over?
Why don't I go in there instead?
Why did you change your mind?
I'm not taking over instead of Baek Doo.
I'm going in there with him.
There is someone called a pacemaker who runs beside a runner.
They take off or stay behind at the right moment.
You'll run beside Baek Doo?
Sometimes to motivate him and to be a figure to rely on.
How about it?
By all means, we should try everything.
I will tell him to come out from tomorrow.
I'll tighten him up.
I should've expected that from Han Ra.
I shouldn't have fed him those expensive pine mushrooms.
Forget it.
You should be accurate with money, the closer you are.
Are Hye Gyo and Ji Hyun...
adjusting well at their new kindergarten?
Adjusting is one thing,
but it's good they walk there as it's close.
What about Tae Hee?
She's like the queen bee.
She's excited as she's first place at everything she does.
I almost forgot, honey.
Contact business is emerging these days.
Contact?
What is that?
It's something like a kiosk.
You know the machines do things without people.
Goodness. It's called untact.
Whatever.
Anyway, that's already been used up a lot,
so now they'll be using robots.
Robots can do the delivery, cooking, cleaning,
and all sorts of things.
Honey, it's the blue ocean right now.
That's replacing humans in the workplace.
Anyway, the fourth industrial revolution is the problem.
I can do all those things.
Try to get some money from Father.
You only need to rent a few robots.
Take him to the bathhouse or get a haircut.
Goodness me. Wait for it.
Today is the day.
Mrs. Geum is coming today.
I'm not sure of that.
He might get angry about it.
We have to aim for a niche market.
This is the blue ocean...
that no sons can think of. Do you get it?
Wait.
It's time for her to come.
Dad. I'm here.
Hello.
Ms. Gong.
Keep up the work.
I heard that you were moving in, so I came to see you.
Really?
We have many days from now on to catch up.
Dad.
Please wear some colorful clothes.
That's right, Father.
You know the pink T-shirt that Ms. Gong bought you before.
Why are you talking about clothes all of a sudden?
Yes.
You're here already?
Okay.
Dad. Let's pop over to the restaurant for a bit.
Why?
- Just for a minute. - What?
Pretend you don't know.
Ae Ri.
Is Ga On home?
She left with her bag. Why?
It's nothing.
Come this way for a second.
Hello.
Welcome.
This is my dad.
Hello.
I'm not satisfied with having a baby and being loved by my husband...
and doing housework.
My pride doesn't allow me...
to rely on one man.
Mrs. Geum served her whole life in Yeouido.
She's the National Assembly member policy secretary.
She's legendary.
Yes. You did a magnificent job.
That's why I’m still single.
You know the word "single" right?
The reason why I'm not married is...
that I'll regret it whether I get married or stay single.
Do I have to do this?
So she sometimes goes on a blind date like this...
and meets boyfriends.
She's not at all interested in marriage.
A boyfriend.
That sounds good.
Right?
See? You have things in common with my dad.
You're very broad-minded than I thought.
You agreed on the spot.
I'm not saying this just because Geum Gang is my son,
but he's generous, manly, and perfect as your boyfriend.
What?
Though he has a wife and kids, what's wrong with that?
You're not getting married to him.
Then have fun.
Dad.
What about you, Geum Gang?
Are you interested?
I have no problem with it.
Okay.
Wait, what?
You wicked brat.
Have fun with her.
Good job.
What is all this?
Don't take it the wrong way.
This is my work style.
When I can't get an answer, I work together...
by putting heads together and breathing together.
Why do I have to fit your style?
I got a departure date.
It's the 14th of next month as specified in the contract.
There will be no extensions or exceptions.
I will make your project successful and leave.
How about it? Is it an appropriate explanation?
Fine.
You don't come to work every day.
Did you hear from the headquarters?
We have a meeting with the vice president of Jinbing.
Yes.
I'll support you properly, so do it comfortably.
I'll let you know as the schedule comes out.
I almost forgot.
Did you deliver my gift?
Not yet.
Is that so?
Do whatever you want.
And...
can I meet that person too?
The person you like.
She has nothing to do with you.
Why doesn't she?
You're not just meeting that person.
She's the person Ga On's dad is seeing.
I wonder what kind of person she is.
She's not someone who should be verified by you.
(Dad)
Why?
I'm outside.
I'm at the internet cafe.
Are you watching over me?
No, I'm not.
I'm sorry.
Are you working? When are you coming home?
I took out all my luggage this morning. I'm not going.
Can I visit your workplace?
No. I can't play with you even if you come. Don't come.
If I was a mother, I should have checked numerously with my eyes...
to see if my child was dead and never give up.
I haven't done anything for the past 15 years.
I was really bad. I'm the bad one.
You have long fingers.
It's exactly the same.
Hey. Do you have something on your hand?
Why are you looking at your hand and not playing games?
You said you can't come.
I was joking. Did you believe it?
What's wrong?
Why did you want to come here all of a sudden?
I met my mom.
What? Mom?
Your mom?
Yes.
My mom.
I saw her for the first time since I was born.
How was it?
What did she say?
She said she's sorry.
She didn't even know I was alive.
You must...
have been very shocked.
Does your dad know too?
Yes.
They work together.
I see.
Why did she come?
She said she came to work,
but she must have come to see me.
Then what happens to you?
What do you mean what happens to me?
It will be the same.
She's going back.
Ga On's mom must have had a hard time too.
She was young too.
She didn't even see her child's face...
and thought she was dead.
How about Ga On?
Ga On was also surprised, right?
Is she taking it well?
She's a strong kid, so she'll get through it well.
That's good.
Ga On is all grown-up now and her mom wasn't dead,
so it's better to depend on it than to live without knowing it.
But what about me?
What?
Are you not worried about me?
Not even one single bit.
Aren't you the toughest cookie that doesn't bleed...
a single drop of blood even when stabbed?
You know me well.
What a relief.
Who would I be doing this to without Real Ma-jerk?
Just say anything. I'll do everything I can.
Don't you worry.
I'll straighten things out, so it doesn't bother you.
Let's go.
Okay.
You cried so much after sending me that text, right?
What text?
"Let's go back to that time. Let's be enemies. Let's be friends."
No, I didn't.
I was going to go on a blind date as I was so excited.
Geez. You're lying.
You cried all night.
You must have cried.
Was it that sad?
What are you talking about?
Father. Are you inside?
Yes, I am.
Did you eat?
Yes. What brings you here?
Father. Baek Doo is reflecting on his mistake.
He was too enthusiastic but he wasn't capable,
so he was struggling a lot.
He's your son, Father.
Though he's inadequate, please take him in.
Please I beg you.
Why wouldn't I know how he feels?
If I had no expectations, I wouldn't have got angry.
I'm deeply ashamed.
Don't worry. I'm about to try a different way.
What?
After the holiday, he will go into the soup room with Gye Ok.
Father. How could Ms. Gong...
Ms. Gong delivered meat from Majang-dong.
She has no experience at all...
except for briefly helping in the kitchen here.
Isn't it reasonable to have Chef Cha go in?
If you're talking about experience,
wasn't Baek Doo the one who worked at an office?
I said that because I was worried about how he would accept this.
This is all for Baek Doo and for Buruna Noodles,
so trust me without thinking about anything else.
What are you doing here?
You're more competent than I thought.
Excuse me.
Who is it?
Hello.
You were in front of the restaurant last time.
It was you, right?
Is someone here?
Hello, Father. It's me, Cheong Ah.
(Brilliant Heritage)
How dare you come here?
I came to say goodbye.
Thank you for raising my child so far.
Goodness me. Is she Ga On's mom?
Shouldn't they live together?
That’s why I told you to stop.
Cut your coat according to your cloth.
Gye Ok. Tell me.
Why are you two together at this time?
What's going on between you two?
