I hope the new girl that Woo Suk started dating this year...
will be as well-behaved as you are.
Have you not changed your mind?
No.
You got married in the spotlight, and now you're getting a divorce.
But all you want as alimony is the hotel that's about to go bankrupt.
I'm happy to hear it, but it also seems cheeky at the same time.
It sounds like you're declaring that you'll be cutting all ties with us.
The contract states that I must attend...
any family event that you ask me to.
So that kind of declaration will be of no use.
It's a misunderstanding.
Then I'm grateful.
I'm sure you thoroughly read the contract. Do you have any questions?
I'd like to know what you mean by "any unfortunate happenings"...
stated in Article 3, Clause 4.
It's exactly what it says.
It means you should maintain your dignity even after the divorce...
and that you shouldn't do anything to harm our family's reputation.
Do you understand?
(Cha Soo Hyun)
(Episode 3)
Don't bother greeting me.
I'm obviously not in the mood.
Would you like the tea you always drink?
I'd like some cold water. I'm burning with anger inside.
Article 3, Clause 4. The part that you checked...
over and over again.
Do you mean the part regarding the unfortunate happening?
Yes, the unfortunate happening.
What kind of absurd...
You used to be a member of our family.
So how dare you get yourself involved in such a scandal...
with such a young man at that?
I'm trying my best to sound nice, but it's not easy.
Do you understand what you've done?
This is not an unfortunate happening.
I just had a meal with someone I was indebted to.
(Donghwa Hotel, Resume)
I never did anything to be ashamed of.
The fact that Cha Soo Hyun, the daughter-in-law of Taegyeong,
got involved in such a scandalous gossip...
is already something to be ashamed of.
I'm no longer a family member of Taegyeong.
There's no reason for you to be like this.
I was wondering why you were behaving so immaturely,
but I guess it was because you had the wrong idea.
You may be divorced,
but don't mistakenly think that cuts off all ties between our families.
I'm sure you know better than I do...
about how your dad managed to become who he is today.
You'll remain as a member of Taegyeong even after you die.
Once you set foot in our family,
you'll forever be a member of our family. Keep that in mind.
Don't act up.
Did you hire him because of his looks?
You're crossing the line.
I let you have a company so that you could keep your dignity.
Let's end it here. Otherwise, it'll only get ugly.
Fire him.
Ma'am.
"Article 3, Clause 4. If any kind of unfortunate happening occurs,"
"Cha Soo Hyun will lose all her rights to everything."
Think carefully about what's included in those rights.
Why did you call me out?
It was you, wasn't it?
I'm talking about the photo with Ms. Cha and the guy.
You're the guy in the photo, aren't you?
You're good.
You wear that outfit often.
I'm really curious.
What kind of relationship do you have with Ms. Cha?
I met her by coincidence in Cuba.
- You met her there? - I helped her out a little.
Someone stole all her stuff, so she was penniless.
Plus, I didn't know I'd get to work at Donghwa Hotel back then.
That's all.
But I still don't get it.
That doesn't explain why you guys ended up eating ramyeon together...
at a rest area.
It's a long story to explain.
Things just naturally happened.
What you read on the news articles is all wrong.
Then why do you look so worried?
Because I am worried.
Who are you worried about? Yourself?
No, Ms. Cha.
I wonder if she's okay.
Hey, she's been living under the spotlight her entire life,
so she'll just brush it off. She'll be fine.
You should worry about yourself.
You're the one who'll get stressed once people find out who you are.
You really are the best, my friend.
The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.
How dare she avoid me after making so much trouble?
Wench.
Chief Editor, it's me.
Thank you for the article.
It's a good thing I left the writing to a real reporter.
It turned out more interesting than what I had planned.
Thanks to you, I was able to do my homework well.
We'll continue to purchase an ad space on your newspaper.
It's nothing. We're just helping each other.
Let's talk another time.
Welcome.
How does it look at the Donghwa Hotel?
Ms. Cha hasn't made any statements to explain herself.
The staff thinks it's a gossip.
She's been treating her staff well and getting along with them,
so it hasn't caused any disturbance.
She also won the bid to build a branch in Cuba.
Ms. Cha's position won't falter...
from just a single article.
Do you think she'll give up on her position easily?
I'll have to prepare things one by one to make her quit.
She's a smart girl,
so I know she won't act stubborn.
It's about time she gets some rest.
She should stay home and help support Woo Suk.
It's not a good idea for her to work outside for too long.
It won't be long, Mr. Choi.
I believe you're fit...
to look over the Donghwa Hotel.
I'm so flattered.
("CEO Cha Soo Hyun Goes on a Rest Stop Date")
(She's pretty and rich, so it's easy for her to meet younger guys.)
People can be so harsh.
- Is Ms. Cha inside? - No, ma'am. She's not in.
I know she's inside. Move.
Ma'am.
You can't just go in, ma'am.
Do you think Ignoring my calls and locking up your door will help?
Covering your eyes doesn't make it go away.
You could've acted like nothing happened.
Why did you come here?
It's too big for me to act like nothing happened.
I'm getting sick from repeating myself so much.
- He's just an acquaintance. - I already took care of everything.
Will it be all right?
Soo Hyun has no right to say if it's okay or not.
She's the one who made this mess.
She should be thankful that you're helping her clean up.
Then I'll turn that man named Kim Jin Hyuk...
into a stalker.
Are you a monster?
He's kind and earnest. Why did you turn him into a stalker?
- Are you a monster, Mom? - You're the monster, not me.
If you just run the business quietly,
your mother-in-law will take you back.
Why did you make this mess?
Take who back? Mom, why did you...
Please, let's live in peace.
Why did you do this...
when we're talking about you two getting back together?
Who's getting back together?
I already spoke to your mother-in-law,
so meet with your husband and apologize to him.
It doesn't matter how nice he is.
He must be so offended.
You heard me, right?
I'm leaving.
Once is enough.
I was sold off in your hands.
Once is enough. I won't do it again.
Don't you think about your father?
He'll have to end his career as a party delegate.
Don't you pity him?
His dream is to go to the Blue House.
No, that's your dream.
The Blue House...
isn't somewhere you can go in just because you want to.
You must be let in.
I'm going to help him get in,
so stop making trouble and prepare yourself...
to get back together with your husband.
He can't go to the Blue House without Taegyeong.
Hello, Mr. Park. I'm in front of the office.
Yes, I saw the edits.
Yes.
I'll report to you right away when I get in.
Okay.
The CEO's office is on the 11th floor.
1, 2, 3, 4...
No, again.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11.
Ms. Cha, please don't read those comments.
Cheer up.
How do you like it?
It's good. I'm sorry to bother you when it's a busy time.
It's no trouble at all.
Please take your time.
I have to drive.
What about Mr. Nam?
He's been going home late in the last few days.
That's too bad. You can't drink.
Why did you want to see me?
It was interesting.
You're more popular than some celebrities.
Your name popped up in the search engine for two days.
Thank you.
First of all, it's about your mother.
She's trying to fire a new employee who worked hard to get in.
He didn't do anything wrong.
On top of that, she'll make him sound like my stalker.
Please stop her.
You must be scared.
It's been a while since I last saw you with this face.
And secondly?
Why aren't you getting married?
That sounds random.
I moved out of your way because you said...
you can't break up with her and that you'd marry.
Why are you still alone?
Does it bother you...
that I'm still alone?
No.
I don't care if you're alone or if you see someone.
Just don't let me hear about...
us getting back together.
You're mad this time.
Don't talk like you know everything about me.
How much do you know about me?
I don't. I never knew how eccentric you could be.
I never imagined you'd go on a date to have ramyeon at a rest stop.
Choose your vocabulary wisely.
Okay.
I'll do my best with the first request.
That guy didn't do anything wrong. He worked hard for that job.
But I have a condition.
There's nothing between you two, right?
As for the second request,
I don't have a say in it.
- It's your life. - Soo Hyun.
Have you and I...
ever lived something that we can call...
our lives?
If she mentions us getting back together, tell her the truth.
That makes no sense at all.
I'll trust you and go now.
When will I become a man that makes sense to you?
If I tell my mom how I truly feel,
it'll become harder for you.
If you keep eating like that at that age, you'll die early.
It's just a snack.
About Ms. Cha...
- What on earth is going on? - I don't know yet.
Mr. Cha must be deeply worried too.
He's mean too.
He's using his daughter for political reasons.
- Don't call him like that. - Whatever.
I like the old days better, before he became a congressman.
When you and my brother were both reporters,
as well as Congressman Cha.
Back then, you three were like the Avengers.
Do you still want ramyeon after this crazy ramyeon love scandal?
I'm curious how good it is to make them go all the way there.
- Why are you sighing so deeply? - I did something insane.
- Insane? - I hired a private detective.
What did you do that for?
It's about my husband.
I think he has a woman.
What is this total nonsense?
Your daughter is in junior high now.
Do you think only parents without kids cheat?
- You don't even know. - Are you sure?
I'm not, so that's why I hired a private detective.
- When's the result coming out? - I don't know.
He has to do something to get caught.
That jerk.
- Your ramyeon is getting cold. - I lost my appetite.
Why are you getting angry over someone else's affair?
You two aren't just someone else!
- There she comes. - Take the picture!
I've made some delicious soup for breakfast.
- Wow, it's beef soup. - Eat up when you can.
You can't skip breakfast because of work.
- Thank you for the meal. - Eat all the beef and broth.
My goodness, beef soup.
You made beef soup because of me, Mom?
- What are you doing here? - What?
I can't believe you guys.
You didn't even know when your son was discharged?
- It was today. - It was yesterday.
- Why did you come home now? - I had a drink last night...
with my fellow soldiers. Mom, give me some soup.
You act as if you've just been back from the supermarket.
I didn't want Mom getting excited and opening a feast.
But this is a bit too quiet.
Gosh, what should I do?
There's no soup left.
You should've told me you were being discharged.
You made rice cakes for Jin Hyuk, but there's no soup for me?
- There's no rice either. - Rice?
Do we have ramyeon?
Did you get a job?
Your brother has been accepted at a famous company.
I'm proud of you, big brother. Give me some money.
- I don't have any. - But you got a nice job.
I didn't receive my paycheck yet.
Stop begging your brother.
Hurry up and eat your ramyeon. You have to go to work.
You know the hourly wage has gone up, right?
I worked for free.
I'm going to be so nice to my second child.
Promise me you'll have a second child just like you.
Your brother never got into any accidents,
but you made me come to school almost every day.
Are you grown up now?
Mom, I didn't get in an accident.
It's because your son is a righteous man.
Goodness.
I have a question, Mom. Where is my ramyeon?
- I don't think we have ramyeon. - Gosh.
How can there be no ramyeon at home?
So you better tell me in advance...
when you get discharged from now on.
That's ridiculous.
You want me to go to the army twice?
That seems a bit harsh, don't you think?
- Let's eat now. - Okay.
Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - You did a great job.
Artist Jang's drawing that was scheduled to arrive in Sokcho.
It's scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
But we received a call that the drawing can't be delivered.
Did you call Artist Jang?
I kept calling, but the phone is turned off.
We already reserved art tours for hotels in Seoul,
Cheongju, Busan, and Sokcho.
Should I cancel the tour in Sokcho? It opens in two weeks.
No. We must bring Artist Jang's drawing no matter what.
We've been working on this for two years.
I don't think we can have it.
I can already sense that Chairwoman Kim is behind it.
Why does she keep getting in the way of her divorced daughter-in-law?
I think she's getting back at you for the recent article.
It's not her first time.
I think I should visit Artist Jang's studio in Sokcho.
- Now? - I can't do this on the phone.
I'll tell Mr. Nam to prepare the car.
No, I'll just drive there.
I have a lot on my mind, and it'll be better for me to drive.
Mind your own business.
Look at Ms. Cha.
She doesn't seem shaken up at all.
Come on.
Good job. Print out three copies of these for me.
Okay, thank you.
Excuse me.
- You know me, right? - Yes.
I've seen you driving Ms. Cha's car.
- Everyone calls me Mr. Nam. - I see.
Then I'll call you Mr. Nam from now on too, sir.
Did you have lunch?
Do you like the side dishes?
The prices are even better.
All the restaurants near here are expensive,
so I always used the company cafeteria.
The cafeteria makes good food too.
Ms. Cha is very strict about the food her employees eat.
She's an impressive woman.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
Thank you for the meal.
Drink this.
My body felt lighter after drinking this.
That's okay. Didn't you bring it to drink?
This is for my guest. I have mine here.
Thank you.
- He went on a trip? - Yes.
He suddenly goes off on trips like this often.
When is he coming back?
I'm not sure.
I think it'll be after this weekend.
I heard he went on a trip, but I don't think it's true.
I think I should stay here a bit longer.
I don't think he'll come on the weekend.
Anyway, I'll keep dropping by his studio.
You're going to spend the weekend without any luggage?
It's okay. I'll shop for some things here.
Don't worry.
It's very close to the sea. I can get some rest too.
Call the hotel in Sokcho and book a room for me.
You have something to say.
Did you meet Soo Hyun?
I did.
Why don't you just let this slide?
It's cute to see Soo Hyun act a bit crazy.
That's not crazy, it's plain cheap.
How foolish of her. I thought she understood me,
but she went to talk to you.
About that new recruit.
Why don't you just leave him alone?
It might cause a fuss if he's fired as soon as he started working.
You're taking it too far by making him look like a stalker.
He's a nobody that's as invisible as dust.
I couldn't care less about him.
Soo Hyun has always been on a high horse,
so I hope this serves as humble pie.
Mother, you've been quite busy.
Why waste your energy on this?
Isn't it obvious? I want you two back together.
- Mother. - I already talked to her mom.
Let's make preparations.
I won't.
I know why you're still single.
You're waiting for Soo Hyun.
Why would you loosen your grip on that thing?
- She's not a thing. - Did she say...
she won't get back together?
What's the point in forcing her back here?
We shouldn't force her.
I can't have her sulk all the time.
We'll make her come back on her own will.
She thinks she's a hotshot now that her hotel is a success.
We'll prove she's wrong and have her be a timid wife instead.
Once the hotel is gone,
she'll come to her senses and crawl back to you.
Donghwa Hotel...
Leave it alone.
It's like you're telling me to leave Soo Hyun be.
I hope we never have to argue about this.
I'll get going then.
It'll be too quiet since we haven't opened yet.
Is that still all right?
Only two employees will be staying here.
I'll have a few others be on-call as well.
No, I like that it's quiet.
Just have a room ready for me.
One of the biggest gossips has been CEO Cha's date.
She's been the talk of the town on many online sites.
The interest in her is just as great as it would be for a top celebrity.
She has been living in the spotlight all her life.
Even after the divorce, many are still interested in her.
Cha Soo Hyun is the nation's sweetheart...
Since the quorum wasn't met, the deliberation couldn't begin.
He apologized to the public saying he was ashamed.
Dad, it's me.
I wanted to call you too, but I couldn't...
since I didn't know how you were.
I'm sorry.
What is there to be sorry about?
I'm the one who shoved you into the spotlight,
so I should be apologizing.
Your party will exchange words over this.
What are you going to do?
No, it won't be on the agenda.
You don't need to worry about that.
Just make sure not to skip any meals.
What is it?
I'm sorry, Mr. Nam. I should be going myself,
but my mom needs to see her doctor today.
I can go, so no worries.
Is this all?
She said she'd buy what she needs there,
but we both know she won't.
The news articles aren't of any help either.
I'll take care of this,
so you focus on helping your mother today.
Sure.
("Hotel Marketing Strategies")
Hello?
Jin Hyuk, it's Nam Myung Sik.
Hello, sir.
We're up for a business trip.
Hello.
- You were home on the weekend. - I was.
- What's with the sudden trip? - I'm sorry about this.
By the way, can you drive?
Actually, let's talk on the way. Ms. Cha will be bored by now.
- Dae Chan! - Stop it already.
You were just discharged from the military.
I'm serving you as my mentor from now on.
I'll open the second store of Chan's Moon Snails.
I have no intention of approving one.
Dae Chan, a businessman should dream big.
You can be the owner of the second store.
I'll just be the manager.
Like I said, I don't want to.
We'll talk more later.
First, let me know that secret recipe of yours.
I'd rather you run off to your house already.
- Let me do this. - Gosh, you're annoying.
- Give me that. - You're driving me crazy.
Are you going to keep on bothering me?
Please teach me the recipe. I need a job now.
Whatever. Do what you want.
Dae Chan, teach me the recipe!
Don't be so childish.
Dae Chan, please!
We're from the Seoul office. We have something for Ms. Cha.
She's not in at the moment.
I saw her leaving for a walk.
Can you wait for her here then?
I have to run an errand for a friend of mine.
- I won't be gone long. - I'll wait here, sir.
All right then.
- Bye. - Sure.
Jin Hyuk?
What...
I'm here on a business trip with Mr. Nam.
I'm sure the article startled you.
I was shocked by the mean comments about you.
It's normal for me.
I'm sorry for not saying anything.
I couldn't even call...
since you'd be hassled if word gets out.
I'm not fazed by it, so don't worry.
What's that?
("I See You as I See Flowers")
It's your photo.
I'm nervous because you look better in person.
It's a good one.
Please read it when you have the time.
It's a book of poetry I like.
That one's my favorite.
("Yearning")
You seem like a lover of literature.
You like novels as well as poems.
I had to spend a lot of time alone as a child.
My friends would head home for dinner,
but my parents would be busy at the store.
Playing arcade games got boring too.
So I once went to a library to kill some time.
That's how...
Yes, Mr. Nam.
Yes.
I guess it can't be helped.
There's no rush, so take your time.
Sure.
Is he running late?
Yes, he has a few things to sort out with his friend.
Why don't we go for a drive then?
- What? - It's stuffy to stay in the hotel,
especially when you're here in Sokcho.
I'm here on business.
Mr. Nam told me.
All you can do is wait for Artist Jang,
so get some fresh air while you're at it.
I'd like another ride in that fancy car.
Can I open the window?
It's your car.
You can do whatever you want.
It's cold outside, so I'll leave it open for only one minute.
If you catch a cold when things are going haywire,
the medicine won't even work on you.
You seem to have a special way of saying things.
Maybe it's because you read a lot.
Let's just say I'm very sensitive.
I wonder if there's also a place in Sokcho...
that sells delicious bread and coffee.
Should we search the web? We still have some time.
I think it was delicious because we were in Cuba.
That's nonsense.
When you're in Gangwon Province, you should have coffee...
with potato rice cakes.
My dad loves potato rice cakes.
Really? My dad loves them too.
It seems like we click...
in many ways.
Isn't it a bit far-stretched to say we click...
just because of some rice cakes?
Then I'll just take that back.
Don't you like them?
The last time I had them was when I was in elementary school.
I get why my dad loves them so much.
I didn't know this when I was young, but it tastes quite nice.
It tastes...
I don't know.
Is this your first time trying one?
- Yes. - But you made it sound like...
- you were familiar with them. - I did?
I just meant Gangwon Province is famous for these.
But you said your dad likes them.
Today's our day one.
Your day one with whom?
My day one...
with this potato rice cake.
It really does taste nice.
I wonder if Mr. Nam's going to be a bit more late.
It seems like you have a very comfortable relationship...
with Mr. Nam.
Mr. Nam used to work as a reporter...
with my dad at a broadcasting station.
He's someone my dad can trust the most.
And to me,
he's like a friend.
Hurry up and send him home.
He's sleeping so well when he didn't even drink.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Hey, sir.
Where am I?
You're at a sashimi restaurant.
My gosh, I accidentally fell asleep.
What time is it?
My gosh, I'm late.
Thank you for the meal.
- You need to take your change. - No, it's okay.
You can use it to buy artificial seasoning.
But we use natural seasoning.
Then use it to buy some dried anchovies.
Ms. Cha, where are you?
Gosh, I'm finally done taking care of my business.
Did you enjoy... I mean, you must've waited so long.
Are you at the hotel right now?
I'm at a sashimi restaurant by the sea.
A sashimi restaurant by the sea?
I can see you.
You can see me?
Are you done taking care of what your friend asked you to do?
Well, yes. Kind of.
Mr. Nam.
My gosh, you startled me.
I told you numerous times that I'm a lot more sensitive than I seem.
Did you eat, Mr. Nam?
My stomach's about to burst...
I don't have an appetite.
You must've eaten a lot seeing that you don't have an appetite.
I mean, we're by the sea. I'm allowed to have a nice meal.
I'm hungry, Mr. Nam.
That restaurant makes the best spicy fish stew.
- Did you see it? - Yes.
It's nice, isn't it?
Yes, I'll buy that.
I'm sorry, someone else already made a reservation for this dress.
This one.
I'd also like this one. This black one looks nice as well.
What size do you wear?
Does she have a similar physique as me?
I want everything I just picked in your size, and you can keep them.
And as for this dress, I want it ready for me.
Just tell the person who reserved it that some crazy guy...
stole it.
You can tell them my name if you want.
This is a tough request.
I'll have it ready for you, sir.
(Soo Hyun)
Hello?
It's been a while, Secretary Jang.
Ms. Cha isn't in Seoul right now.
Is she on a business trip?
I'm not sure if that's the right word to describe it.
The painting that we were meant to receive...
for the hotel in Sokcho suddenly got canceled.
So she went on a stakeout to Artist Jang's studio.
Something tells me that your mother had something to do with this.
If not, I'm sorry.
Where is she right now?
Thanks to her, she's probably absent-mindedly waiting...
at a hotel that hasn't even opened yet.
Soo Hyun, do you want to play the sand game with me?
We used to play it often back when you were young.
Are you worried that people might recognize you?
It's okay. No one's interested in us.
- Okay, fine. - Really?
Then you guys should play. My knee hurts these days.
Let's go back to the hotel.
You should play with me.
I'm known as Hongjae-dong's excavator.
Let's do rock-paper-scissors.
Rock-paper-scissors. Rock-paper-scissors.
- It's your turn. - You took so much.
That's too little.
Because you took way too much.
Here comes the excavator.
Hey, how's Soo Hyun?
She's holding out.
You should entertain her.
She used to ask for you more than she asked for me...
every time she burst into tears.
- Yes, I know. - Impressive.
You're taking everything.
You can't do that.
This is dangerous.
I feel like I'll no longer be the person consoling her...
every time she cries.
I feel so relieved.
- Let's play one more time. - Gosh, come on.
- Come on. Just one more time. - No way.
Let's just play one more game.
Okay.
You have to go in this time.
The loser has to go in.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Ta-da. Hold on.
Let's go. Come on, Ms. Cha.
Let's play another round.
It's hot, so be careful.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
Your dish is here.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
I thought you were here to learn. Why are you slacking off?
I figuring out the flow here.
You need a side menu.
Moon snails aren't enough.
Forget it. Just go do the dishes.
- I served the army in the kitchen. - That's where everyone starts.
We should break such customs.
- Get out. - I'll do it.
Jin Myung.
Look who it is.
It's my goddess, Hye In.
- Did you get discharged? - Of course.
I hear you work with my brother.
He didn't tell you this important information?
- That's true. Where's Jin Hyuk? - He's on a business trip.
Are you sure you two work for the same company?
It's the weekend. What business trip?
It smells fishy.
Does he have a girlfriend?
Who?
Jin Hyuk goes on dates with books at the library.
Do you not know where Jin Hyuk went to?
No. He's an adult. Who cares where he goes to?
Hye In, do you want a beer?
No.
Jin Myung, let's have a drink next time.
- What is this? Are you leaving? - I was just passing by.
- I'll get going. - Okay. Take care.
What's this?
She should boost my sales if she came all the way here.
If she doesn't want any, she should buy one for me.
By the way, she got even prettier.
- Get out. - No, I'll work.
Just come to Seoul with me.
I don't think Artist Jang is on a trip.
I'm just being avoided.
I'll go tomorrow and on Monday too.
I'll stay with you, then.
It's your father's death anniversary tomorrow.
I bet you didn't prepare anything.
I already ordered food for the memorial service.
It'll be delivered to your home.
When did you do that?
Then, should I stay...
I guess that won't work.
I'm really fine.
I had fun all day today.
You have to leave that with me.
You'll sleep well tonight because we played with you.
You have to stop taking sleeping pills.
I really need those.
Are there no radios here?
You should try downloading a radio app on your phone.
They'll play a lot of good music.
I have a billion things to do.
I delayed work today.
You guys should get going.
Get some shut-eye.
We have a long way to go.
I'll drive, sir. Let's go into a rest stop.
You drove on your way here. You should go home comfortably.
She'll be fine.
She's used to spending time alone since she was young.
Is she spending time,
or is she just bearing through it?
It's so dark outside.
You're not going to the Sokcho hotel, are you?
It might be out of line, but let me say this.
If you can't...
even protect her, please don't ask how she's doing.
Let's eat some ramyeon together.
Do you want to eat at 3am?
I was serving moon snails until 2am.
It was tougher than it was in the army.
Let's eat ramyeon.
- Go to bed. - Okay.
That was a story sent in by 3927.
Yes. It gets more lonely when you're left alone...
after hanging out with friends.
Listener 3927 says it's his or her first time sending in a story.
Here's the song you requested.
Try coaxing your loneliness with yearning.
It's Omara Portuondo's "Si Llego a Besarte".
It's Ms. Cha.
("I See You as I See Flowers")
("Yearning")
"There are roads I want to take"
"When I'm told not to"
"There are people I want to see"
"When we agreed not to"
"There are things I want to do more"
"When I'm told not to"
"That is life and yearning"
"That is you"
("Yearning")
- Hey! Dae Chan! - Yes?
Dae Chan.
I'm sorry, but please wake up.
Dae Chan.
Welcome.
Moon snails are 30 dollars.
- Just a few more minutes, Mom. - Dae Chan!
Dae Chan.
- Dae Chan. - What? What?
- Dae Chan. - You're insane.
Dae Chan.
What? What, what, what?
Lend me your car.
At this hour? Why?
Is your dad's car broken?
No. I just have to go somewhere.
Where are you going? You're crazy.
Hey! Bring it back by morning.
I have to get groceries.
(Chan's Moon Snails)
Did I startle her?
Jin Hyuk, why did you come back?
I know a great haejangguk restaurant near here,
but I didn't go yesterday.
But you must be tired. Did you come this long way...
just to eat that right now?
You'll understand once you taste it.
It's unbelievably delicious.
I'll give it a taste then.
To see if I can understand you or not.
It's incredible. You might want two bowls once you taste it.
Wait here.
Okay, let's go.
Let's go in this truck.
This truck is uncomfortable. It won't be a nice ride.
I want to ride this.
You should do what you want.
(Chan's Moon Snails)
Okay.
(Chan's Moon Snails)
I think Ms. Cha has gone out.
Really?
It's not good enough to understand what you meant.
Is this really your first time?
This should be more new to you than ramyeon is.
I've tried it with Secretary Jang, with some soju.
I think the place in Euljiro is a bit better.
It hurts my pride when there's a better restaurant than mine.
They really make juicy pork slices like this place?
Yes. They're even more juicy and chewy.
Jin Hyuk.
I appreciate the gesture,
but why did you come here?
I heard some lovely music...
and it woke me in my sleep.
The music we listened to together was on the radio.
The broth tastes better at this place.
Ms. Cha.
What should...
our relationship be like?
We...
You and I are just a boss and an employee.
I also thought about it on the way here.
Why am I coming all the way here to see the CEO of my company?
I grew up as a responsible son...
and I grew mature after enlisting in the army.
But why am I rushing to see you?
Our relationship...
seemed a bit unclear.
Jin Hyuk.
Your choice of words...
I came because I missed you.
I wanted to see you.
"There are roads I want to take when I'm told not to"
"That is life..."
"and yearning"
"That is"
"you"
That's why I came.
(Encounter)
I'm not used to something like this, and it worries me.
I believe letting someone in your heart...
is a meaningful thing to do.
To be honest,
I hope you and I stop getting involved like this.
It's nothing.
I'm not just playing around out of curiosity.
Listen to me, Jin Hyuk.
Don't take another step towards me.
