(Hate to Love You)
(Episode 41)
Excuse me, ma'am. Ma'am.
You left this behind.
Please throw it away.
Pardon me?
Never mind. Please give it to me.
- Hello. - I'm glad I met you, Director Goo.
Here you go.
Why are you giving this back to me? I gave it to you yesterday.
That's right, and I enjoyed it. However...
I don't think it suits me.
You can use the rest of it.
That's okay.
It would be a waste.
See? I hurt myself whenever I exercise even a bit.
I tried it out yesterday, and it seems perfect for you.
My goodness.
(Top and Top Dance Academy, enrollment certificate)
It came back to me.
Shall I give it a try?
Eun Jo.
What are you doing here? It's cold outside.
Nothing. I just needed some fresh air.
Ms. Kim invited me for dinner...
since Myung Jo is done with his exam.
Did she invite Mr. Jung as well?
I think she wants to eat with you and Myung Jo without him today.
She said Mr. Jung told her to do so.
But my aunt will be home.
Something happened, right?
I don't know what it is, but let's talk at home. It's cold.
Okay. Let's go home.
What's with her?
She seems so downcast.
Eun Jo.
Lie in bed for a while.
I'm fine.
What's bothering you? Tell me.
What are these...
Bu Sik left his ring.
He said we should end things.
End things? End what?
Did you two break up?
How could he end it when he's a man?
Is it wrong for a man end a relationship?
No. That's not what I meant.
He was so nice to you.
He acted as if you were the only girl in the world.
I don't understand. Why?
What was the reason he wanted to break up with you?
I would end up saying bad things about him. It's just that...
we are tired of each other.
You look quite calm for a person who just had her heart broken.
I guess it wasn't as shocking as I expected.
I simply feel a little...
empty. That's all.
Is that all? You two discussed getting married.
Even while dating Bu Sik,
I think I was preparing myself to break up with him.
When he said we should end it,
I felt relieved rather than heartbroken.
You should tell Ms. Kim about this.
No. Please pretend not to know for a while.
Why?
She thinks Myung Jo broke up with her because of her.
If she finds out about me, she'll be devastated.
But she'll find out soon.
Let's worry about that when it happens.
Okay. I understand.
I almost left without seeing you. I'm glad I met you.
Why were you waiting for me?
Do you really not know?
- Let's go somewhere and talk. - No.
I have nothing to say.
You didn't answer my calls and ignored my texts.
We finally meet, and you have nothing to say?
Do you want to end things just like this?
What did we even do?
We were about to start dating because we liked each other.
I'm sure that we both were interested in each other.
Are you going to deny that too?
Well... You're right about that.
Then let's not worry about what others think and start dating.
I'm sorry, In Jung.
I put some things first in any circumstances.
My top priority is...
Haeng Ja.
Why is it Ms. Kim instead of yourself?
All right. In that case, if she breaks up with my dad,
your next priority will be us, right?
I'll take your silence as a yes.
Just wait.
Hey. Take this.
Hi. What brings you here?
Dad, break up with her.
What did you say?
You and the owner of the pawnshop.
You two should end things here.
- In Jung. - Why aren't you answering?
Why aren't you saying you will do so?
Well... I have a situation.
A situation?
Have you ever done anything to be a good dad?
As my dad, you should've at least said you will end it...
before I came here to see you.
That's what other dads would do.
Since you have done nothing for us,
at least don't get in our way.
I will do anything that you two want in the future.
Such an unrealistic promise won't work on me.
There's only one thing that I want from you.
Break up with her.
So Myung Jo and I can start dating again.
That's the only thing I want.
Where did Gil Eun Jo go without telling me she'd leave for the day?
Hello?
Where am I?
Bu Sik. Hello?
Yes. This is Byun Bu Sik speaking.
Are you drinking, Bu Sik?
Where are you?
Where?
What did he say?
The neighborhood?
Oh, the neighborhood.
What are you doing here?
I knew you would be here.
Why are you drinking alone?
Of course I'm drinking alone. Whom would I drink with?
Why would you be alone?
Should I drink with the woman...
who has never looked at me?
Or...
should I drink with the woman who always thought of someone else...
even when she was with me?
Are you talking about Gil Eun Jo?
Gil Eun Jo.
Yes. Gil Eun Jo.
You shouldn't have treated me like that.
This is a secret,
but I dumped Eun Jo.
It feels so good.
- You dumped her? - Yes.
I'm having a drink because I feel so good.
But...
it doesn't feel as good as I thought it would.
I wonder why.
I'm the one who wanted to start and end things,
but why do I feel so empty inside?
Why does my heart...
hurt so much?
Bu Sik.
Are you going to keep this up?
Why didn't she try to change my mind when I broke up with her?
I was so nice to you.
You can't treat me like this, Eun Jo.
Let's go, Bu Sik. You're drunk.
I'm fine. I'm not drunk at all.
You're drunk.
Let's go.
You can't do this to me.
How could you?
You said you dumped her.
Why are you so miserable?
You said you chose her for money,
but you must've really liked her.
It's so cold.
Why haven't you closed yet?
Are you waiting for the girls?
What about you? Where are you coming from?
Bu Sik isn't home yet.
It's too cold to wait outside.
Were you worried he couldn't find his way home?
Come to think of it, you're very protective of him.
This is all I can do for him.
They should come home early if they know we're waiting.
Has In Jung been quiet ever since?
What can she do?
She comes home straight from work and stays in her room.
She won't even look at me.
Time will heal this.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Is it Bu Sik?
What is it?
It's Choong Seo. He wants to meet at the cafe tomorrow.
I wonder what it is.
You'll find out tomorrow.
Eat up, Myung Jo.
It must've been hard to study.
Was that the National Examination for Medical Practitioners?
- Will you be a doctor if you pass? - Yes.
Myung Jo is a real doctor now.
You went through so much trouble studying.
You should wait until he passes to say that.
He already graded his exam. Right?
I don't think I'll fail.
How could you cause trouble with a girl with that exam coming up?
You almost blew it after all that hard work for the past six years.
Don't scold him...
and call him Dr. Gil Myung Jo from now on.
Stop it. I still have a long way to go.
I have to go through my internship and residency.
Internship and resi-what?
You're so ignorant.
Residency.
I'm sorry. Your pronunciation was too exaggerated.
Gosh.
Eun Jo, why aren't you saying a word?
I must be tired from working all day at the beauty center.
You did a great job, Myung Jo.
I'll buy you a suit when I get my first pay check as an intern.
Thank you.
Eun Jo, Myung Jo.
Let's go somewhere close by for an overnight trip.
I already informed the beauty center.
Where are we going?
I'll go anywhere you two want.
Haeng Ja.
We've went through so much.
Let's go and get some air.
It was my idea.
You're so lucky.
I really want to go too. Do you think I could join you?
Don't you know when to stop?
I was just joking.
Stop joking, and eat up.
(Dia Pawnshop)
Eun Jo is so lucky to go on a trip.
Should I wait outside unless I'm going to follow him from the cafe?
What?
It's nothing.
- I'll be back soon. - Again?
What is with her all the time?
Do you remember the song we used to sing together?
Which one?
In the night sky
There are three sibling stars
That's too gloomy to sing on a trip.
Why? I like it. Keep singing.
They twinkled
Lovingly together
Why is it
That one of the stars is gone
The other two stars
You should eat too, Eun Jo.
What about my mom?
We'll go to her after eating this.
Your dad is there too.
My goodness.
I've never seen anything like this. It looks great.
I made the reservations.
Of course you did.
You have such good taste.
You always treat him like he's the best thing that ever happened.
He's such a troublemaker.
Myung Jo.
Maybe we should've asked Mr. Jung to come with us.
You're right.
No, don't worry about us.
He...
is busy with his school reunion.
- Let's go in. - I'll take our luggage.
All right.
I think it's this way.
This doesn't have much investment value.
It's as bad as a hole-in-the-wall store.
Let's see.
This looks much better.
The earnings rate is reasonable.
This is perfect.
Let's go take a look at it.
It seems like he's up to something.
Why is he looking at investment opportunities when he's penniless?
Hold on.
He's definitely planning to do something with Haeng Ja's money.
Where did he go?
(Chairman Hong Suk Pyo)
Chairman Hong.
I'm here to close the bidding on the beauty center.
Have a seat.
I thought Ms. Kim would come by herself today.
Since she asked me to start this, I should finish it too.
However, would it be okay with you?
What are you talking about?
I wonder if you have the courage to show up in front of Ms. Kim.
You must enjoy butting in others' business.
You don't need to care if I have the courage.
I'm not nosy. I'm just worried.
Don't you think you better worry about the people around you?
People around me?
You're the one who is nosy.
Eun Jo is doing well, isn't she?
I'm surprised since you asked that without hesitating.
That's not...
what you should worry about.
I happened to see you two, but she didn't look fine.
I said that it's none of your business.
You shouldn't have made me worry.
- Listen, Chairman Hong Suk Pyo. - Yes.
Let's talk about business.
I'm here to do business.
Let's do that.
Goodness. This is so nice.
I'm not jealous of anyone sitting here like this.
- Haeng Ja. - Yes?
You brought us here because you have something to tell us, right?
Is that the case?
You're so quick-witted. How did you know that?
You would've taken Mr. Jung too to help us bond with each other.
But we're here without him. It's easy to tell.
What do you want to tell us?
Tell us.
I...
made a promise when your dad passed away.
I promised that I would protect you two whatever happens.
We know that.
However, we're all grown up now.
It's different from back then.
Don't worry about us too much,
and do whatever you want in life.
Right?
Right. What I want to do in life.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
I want to give you two the assets I've been saving...
in a legitimate way.
In a legitimate way?
Eun Jo and Myung Jo.
I want to register you two as my family.
What do you think?
Register us as your family?
Are you talking about adoption?
Of course it's not that I can't pass my assets on to you.
There's a way.
However, I would prefer to adopt you two...
so I can protect you as a legal guardian.
Only then will I be relieved if I'm away...
or something happens.
Haeng Ja.
Yes. Go ahead. Tell me.
Can we continue living like this?
What?
You already feel more like my mom and my family.
Besides, I am my dad's son...
and my family's eldest son of the eldest son.
Let's live just as we have lived until now.
Eun Jo, you...
Do you feel the same way?
Yes.
Look at this. The data is sorted by date.
- This is how you should do it. - Manager Gong.
- Hello. - This is the takeover document.
- Please give it to Director Goo. - Okay. I understand.
Here you go.
Bu Sik. Is your stomach feeling okay?
I heard you had a hard time last night.
I'm still hungover.
I won't drink for a while.
Do you even remember what you said last night?
I'm not sure. I think I blamed someone. It was probably my mom.
I blame my mom when I'm drunk. You know that.
That's because deep down, you care about her.
That's true.
I care about her as much as I resent her.
I want her to live a good life.
What if you weren't talking about your mother?
What you say when you are drunk...
comes from love.
You can say that.
Is that right?
Your mother is at the cafe now.
Lawyer Byun, I didn't know that you were such a good son.
I'll take care of the document, so go to the cafe.
No. That's not the place I should be.
Goodbye.
He shouldn't be there?
What does that mean?
What's going on?
Ta-da.
- What's this? - A gift.
I see.
By the way, you put four candles on the cake.
It's not our 4th anniversary. I'm not turning 4.
What does this mean?
This is me. This is you.
This is Jong Hee, and the last one is...
your lawyer son.
I prepared this hoping we all will get along well together.
Thank you so much for thinking of my son as well.
- Her son? - And...
I will sing only for you.
You, such a beautiful person
Who was born in winter
You are as clean as snow
You are the only one for me
You were born in winter
What is it?
When did you come here?
Was Lawyer Byun your son?
Sorry?
Yes. Lawyer Byun Bu Sik is my son.
Gosh. Lawyer Byun Bu Sik is your son?
How do you know my son?
That's great.
Things are getting worse. Out of everyone, he is...
Haeng Ja.
Are you up?
You must have been surprised before.
Honestly, yes.
I thought you two would agree to that if I want it.
I expected you to disagree,
but I didn't know that Myung Jo would be so determined.
Are you disappointed?
I'm more disappointed than I thought I would be.
I know that even if we are adopted by you,
that won't change our real parents.
I also know that if we're given legal protection,
you would feel at ease,
and we would benefit from it in many ways.
Then everything is okay.
That's how you feel.
How Myung Jo and I feel is a bit different.
How is it different?
Myung Jo is the eldest son of the Gil family.
He thinks it's his duty to fulfill that role.
What about you?
I want to stay here for my mom and dad.
If not for us, they wouldn't seem to exist.
They'll disappear forever.
You shouldn't be so emotional about it. Be realistic.
Be objective, and give it another thought.
Haeng Ja.
This is my greatest wish, Eun Jo.
Adoption?
I've never even thought about it.
I debated whether to send this or not for a long time.
You look so stressed out lately.
I don't know what it is, but I hope you get through it.
(Hong Suk, I hope)
(Hong Suk)
Why are you showing that you noticed?
Why are you stirring my emotions?
What's that?
Excuse me. Can I ask you something?
Yes. What is it?
How do you know the man that just got out of the car?
Why do you ask?
I know him very well and was curious.
Why would you ask me?
Oh, are you interested in making investments?
Investments?
Call me any time if you're interested.
Hyesung Financial Investment?
(Hate to Love You)
He's thinking of doing other things with your money.
Why did you register your marriage?
They'll be fine when they both meet the right person.
- Where are you going? - I'm going to marry Myung Jo.
- Eun Jo. - This is my answer.
- It isn't that simple. - I want you to stand up for me.
I'll give you two interns a job.
You'll become a full-time employee if you pass the test.
Why is Eun Jo's baby clothes here?
Eun Jo's birth mother must know our family well.
