(Lovers in Bloom)
(Episode 88)
What are you doing awake?
Woo Ri.
What's on your mind?
Mom, I want a dad.
A dad?
You said you didn't want a stepdad.
I changed my mind.
Then what kind of stepdad do you wish to have?
Mr. Tall.
I wish that Mr. Tall was my dad.
Woo Ri, what are you talking about?
But I really like him.
You can't say things like that.
Why? You don't like him?
He can't be your stepdad.
Why not?
Uncle Su Hyuk married his sister, you know.
He's your pretty aunt's brother.
Since when?
He's always been her brother.
So he can't be your stepdad.
Really? He can't?
That's right. He can't.
I still like him though.
Are you crying?
Whatever.
Woo Ri.
Come on. Why are you crying?
Don't cry. Stop crying now.
(Chamsu-ri Substation)
- I told you, it's good for you. - We're back.
We're back.
- Hey, guys. - Mr. Park, you're here again.
Oh, I had to drop off some documents for Corporal Jang.
By the way, Officer Moo.
Your mother won't be able to make lunch for us for a while, right?
Gosh, why ask such an obvious question?
Of course, she won't be able to. Her granddaughter is hospitalized.
That's true.
What are we going to eat today then?
Please hold on just a bit more.
Woo Ri will leave the hospital soon,
and my brother wants to make a website to run it properly.
That means you'll be able to order directly from the website.
You can post your suggestions and complaints too.
Gosh, I'll have no complaints at all.
That's such great news.
Goodness.
Mr. Cha, spare me a second.
Well, I looked into it,
and Senior Inspector Hwang was the one who sent Detective Han.
I see.
I'm really sorry, but I can't get involved in anything risky.
I'm a dad, you know. I have a family to support.
And as you know,
I received disciplinary action for taking bribes,
so he must be keeping a watchful eye on me.
I get what you're trying to say.
Okay.
Well, I can't promise that I'll be able to help you,
but I can be your messenger if you'd like.
We're friends, so I can't really turn a blind eye.
Thank you, Mr. Park.
You guys are having an early lunch.
We figured we should eat before we head out.
My parents keep trying to set me up with ladies they know.
I don't know what to do.
Why are you looking at me?
Corporal Jang, what are you doing this weekend?
Have you lost your mind? Don't even!
It's totally natural for a young man and woman.
Don't be like that.
How dare you! I'm your direct supervisor.
Stop spewing nonsense. Let's go before the chief yells at us again.
Corporal Jang. Corporal Jang.
- Could you tidy this up for us? - Sure.
Corporal Jang!
You seem downcast.
Is it because of Woo Ri?
- What's the matter? - Nothing much.
Being a mom is getting more difficult as she grows up.
When she was a baby, all I had to do was adore her and give her love.
Now, she has her own opinions and has become stubborn too.
That's what happens when kids grow up.
Exactly.
I have to persuade her,
but it's harder than I thought it'd be.
At the same time, I can't be forceful about it.
What did she say?
It's a secret between us.
I heard women say that to avoid questions they don't want to answer.
She must've spoken ill of me.
Yes, Mom.
What? Department store? Why?
All right.
I was going to stop by during my lunch break anyway.
Okay, got it.
I don't think I can have lunch with you today.
It looks like I have to go to the hospital.
I'll go with you.
I should also get closer with Woo Ri soon.
Hey.
You really won't tell me where Do Hyun is?
He's at a hospital now.
What? He's at a hospital?
Did he drink until he dropped again?
He got in a car accident.
What did you say?
Please don't worry too much.
The injury isn't serious.
He just sprained a ligament in his arm.
He's staying there for a few days to take it easy.
- Which hospital is it? - Hanguk Hospital.
Your dad knows now. He'll be there soon.
Jae Hee, why on earth did you tell my dad?
Whatever happens to you doesn't matter to me anymore.
Figure it out yourself from now on.
Hey. Hello?
Hey, Jae Hee.
How dare he. He hung up on me!
He's acting up all he wants after losing his chance with Bo Ra.
Gosh, this is crazy.
Now that Dad knows, he'll cause a scene here.
- Hello. - Gosh.
You two came together.
Woo Ri is asleep.
Yes. She's been playing all day until now.
She just fell asleep now.
Just let her sleep.
Why do you need to go to a department store?
Oh, I wanted to get a gift for Bo Ra.
That's great.
Shouldn't I get something for her too?
Gosh, Woo Ri is hospitalized like this.
Get her something later on.
Thank you for coming.
No problem. See you later.
Have a seat here.
We should have gotten coffee on our way here.
Stay here. I'll go get it.
Woo Ri.
Mr. Santa is here. I wish you were awake to see him.
You're sound asleep.
How dare you set foot here?
Dad!
Hello.
Why on earth are you here?
Dad, please stop it!
Don't even call me Dad.
Jin Dae Gab.
Father.
You tricked her into marrying you, and now, you're calling me Father?
So did you think you could get all of my money...
if you became my son-in-law?
No way. Don't even dream of it.
I won't give you even a penny!
Dad, keep it down. You're in a hospital.
You jerk, never show your face near me again. Do you hear me?
If you ever do, I'll throw you into the sea and watch you die!
Please stop it.
Dad, please come in. Come on.
I'm sorry, Su Hyuk.
Don't worry about it. Let's go in.
Seriously.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry, Goong Hwa.
It's not your fault.
Shall we get some fresh air?
By the way, why isn't Mr. Cha coming?
What are those brats doing here?
They're probably here to visit one of the patients.
You should've come to my room if you just came to see me.
Why would you make a scene like that?
Listen. Never accept them into our family. Do you hear me?
Fine. I heard you.
Oh, right. How did you end up in a car accident?
Well, I saw a kid in danger and got into an accident by saving her.
My gosh, you were so foolish.
Were you out of your mind?
You only have one life to live!
I'm fine. Please calm down, and sit down.
You might faint again.
Look at you pretending like you worry about me.
If you worry about me that much,
why did you cause trouble and have detectives visit me?
You brat. I heard you tore up an entire restaurant.
I guess you didn't find out whose restaurant it is.
Gosh, you brat. What are you talking about?
How much longer did you plan not to tell me about Ms. Heo's children?
How... How did you know about that?
I found out that Ms. Heo was preparing for asset division.
What? What did you just say?
So I tore up the place as a warning not to take what's mine.
Was I wrong?
Heo Seong Hee...
I tried to hold back for you and Ms. Heo's happy, later years.
But she crossed the line, so I had no choice.
I had to stop her so she could come to her senses.
I'm glad you did that.
That's the least you should've done to have given her a warning.
I get it now. I'll take care of it from now on.
You just do as I tell you.
And don't let Seong Hee know that I know about this.
What are you going to do?
I have my own plans.
Heo Seong Hee...
She's trying to backstab me after all.
I have to do whatever I can to convert my assets into cash.
Why did you leave without saying anything?
I saw Su Hyuk in front of Woo Ri's room.
I thought he'd be embarrassed if he knew that I saw him.
You could've at least texted me. I was worried.
I know. I didn't mean to make you worry.
You were surprised, right?
- What do you mean? - You said you saw everything.
Love really is amazing.
Su Hyuk is the last person to bear such humiliation, but he did.
My sister-in-law is like an angel.
Mr. Jin doesn't seem like such a bad person either.
However, their parents...
They think that money can solve anything.
They look down on poor people and treat them badly.
I suddenly feel bad because it feels like I'm backbiting them.
Anyway, I'm worried.
I don't think it'll be resolved so easily.
It's too much to endure.
Let's go out. We should go on patrol.
What did the doctor say?
My gastritis relapsed.
I got a bunch of medications.
No wonder your stomach got upset since you've been so stressed out.
Let's close our restaurant for today.
What are you talking about?
Our landlord wants to raise the deposit.
If you want to go home, go home without me.
Listen to me.
Your health matters more than anything else to me.
We're not going to starve just because we take one day off.
Come on. Let's go.
Leave it. Just come with me.
We can do it later.
- I'm home. - You're back.
Why are you making porridge?
It's for Hee Jin.
What about Hee Jin?
She was sick last night, so she went to see a doctor.
She has stress-induced gastritis.
Hae Chan and Tae Jin.
It's not a surprise for her to have gastritis.
So where is Hee Jin right now?
I dragged her home and laid her on her bed.
Shouldn't you be lying in bed?
You shouldn't have made Hae Chan take those private lessons.
It's all my fault.
When Mom recommended a tutor, I got tempted right away.
Are you saying...
that your mom arranged those lessons for Hae Chan?
Why? Are you going to resent Mom again?
Hee Jin.
Did you know that too?
Mom is living with a loan shark.
I heard she's not even his legal wife.
So you knew.
I resent Mom,
but I resent you more.
Hee Jin.
Whatever happened, she's still our mom.
Can you not trust and care about her...
for me and Tae Jin?
If you had held back your anger and helped Mom out,
Tae Jin and I wouldn't have grown up this lonely,
and our mom wouldn't have lived like that.
Why did you abandon our mom out on the streets...
and let her live such a miserable life like that?
How do you expect me and Tae Jin to live with that?
Hae Chan, did you have a good time at school?
You learned to cook from her, but you couldn't win her over.
Do you know anything about Moo Su Hyuk?
No more than you know.
Find out everything about his family.
What are you going to do now?
Stop asking. Just do as I said.
Yes, I will.
You're home.
Oh, my. What's with your face?
Well, I got stressed out a little, and my stomach got upset.
You shouldn't have lied to me.
You knew that Do Hyun was in the hospital.
How... How did you find out?
Don't you ever do that again.
You know that I can't stand being deceived.
Let me explain. It's not that I lied to you.
The doctor said it's nothing to worry about.
And I was worried that you might collapse again from the shock.
Goodness, I'm so grateful for your concern.
Don't waste your time with useless thoughts. Take care of your health.
You said you wanted to move to Jeju Island with me.
You can't do that like this.
I mean...
Are your children going through something by any chance?
I mean...
I thought it's the only thing that would stress you out this much.
They're doing fine.
There are no such problems.
I'm relieved to hear that.
It's me, Heo Seong Hee.
I'd like to sell all of my buildings in secret.
It's okay even if I lose a bit of money.
Anyway, please take care of it as soon as possible.
And make sure that nobody else finds out.
You're the only one I can trust, Mr. Yoon.
The gift-wrappings look so fancy.
They are not fancy at all.
It was so hard to stop myself from buying her better things.
I didn't want your mother to think that I'm a frivolous spender.
Good job.
But I kept seeing things only for you at the department store.
I was so close to splurging, but I stopped myself.
I'm happy you did.
- What is that? - Well...
You don't need to know. It's what all women love.
Me?
My goodness.
Hey, what are you doing now?
I was worried I might see something I shouldn't see. Why?
How's the website for the lunch service going?
It's done. It's a piece of cake for me, you know.
By the way, what should we name it?
- "Mom's Lunch"? - Gosh, that's just too common.
Lunch...
- "Lunch Story". What do you think? - No.
How about "Woo Ri's Table"? After Woo Ri's name.
That's perfect! Look at you, Su Hyuk. You still got it.
- Stop it. It's nothing. - I'm so sick of this.
That one was the worst. I don't even understand why you applauded him.
You two are such an eyesore.
Gosh, I'm hungry.
Mom's probably tired today. Shall we eat something before heading home?
How about udon?
Sounds good.
All right.
Bo Ra loves this.
Gosh, I'm so pathetic.
Why aren't they home yet? I'm so hungry.
You guys haven't eaten yet, right?
We already did.
We figured you probably wouldn't want to cook today, so we had udon.
Did you?
What about you, Mother? Have you eaten yet?
Of course. I already ate dinner.
Come to my room for a minute.
Sure.
I didn't get you guys anything for your wedding, you know.
Mom.
It's nothing big.
I just bought you a purse.
- I got a purse for you too. - What?
Bo Ra felt bad that she didn't get you anything.
I didn't even have the chance to give you any wedding gifts,
so I got you something.
And I also bought small gifts for Goong Hwa and Woo Ri too.
Did you?
Well, I hope you like it.
It's so cute.
I saw this at the department store earlier today.
- Really? - Yes.
This was very expensive.
You sure are a big spender because you're from a rich family.
My goodness.
Such an expensive gift...
I couldn't even look at it.
Mom.
Oh, sorry. Thanks for this. I'll put it to good use.
You guys must be tired. You should get some rest.
Mother, it's...
Thanks, Mom.
Thank you, Mother. I'll put this to good use.
That was such a big purchase for me.
She probably won't even want a purse like that.
It's far below her level.
Su Hyuk, are you upset?
I understand your intentions, but...
I made a mistake.
But it's a wedding gift.
I wasn't able to get her anything else,
so I couldn't just buy anything cheap.
I know. I'm fully aware of your intentions,
but Mom must have felt like her gift was nothing to what you got her.
Gosh, I have no idea why things like this keep happening.
Why did both of you get a purse for each other out of all things?
She wouldn't have known the price if it had been something else.
I'm so upset.
I'm having such a bad day today.
It's all right.
You got home late.
Why are you not asleep yet?
It looks like Hee Jin is not feeling well.
She's been so stressed out, you know.
So? Are you still after that case?
You said you wanted to dig up dirt on Chairman Jin.
- Yes. - What if it goes wrong?
And he's...
Anyway, your mother lives with him.
Shouldn't you consider her position?
Why should I think about that?
- Tae Jin. - I don't care...
- whatever happens to that woman. - What do you mean you don't care?
How can you not care?
She's still your mom.
Just stop it here. I've thought hard about it,
but I think it would be better.
No.
I just can't.
You know me.
I must come to an understanding before I can give up.
Tae Jin.
Goodnight.
Is Hee Jin okay?
She said harsh words to her mother.
I'm sure she said those things because she was upset,
but she hasn't been able to eat ever since that happened.
You know she's tender-hearted even though she puts up a tough front.
I do.
I wonder how Mother is doing.
Hee Jin was so mean to her.
Hee Jin blamed her so harshly, yet she couldn't even say a word.
It shows how much children mean to parents.
She's reaping what she sowed.
I couldn't stand her when she was causing all sorts of trouble,
but my heart aches for her now that she's all weak.
What Hae Chan is going through must be enough to stress her out.
Baek Ho.
To Hae Chan,
I couldn't be a competent dad.
But I wanted to at least be a friend-like dad.
When he said he didn't want to take those lessons,
I should've heard him out.
I thought he'd be fine without even knowing how he felt.
I left him alone and thought that he'd change when he grew up.
As a result, I scarred him for life.
Hae Chan is going to be all right.
Cheer up.
I know. He should be.
Right. How are things going between you and Officer Moo?
- We're going to get married. - What?
I told Dad that I will marry her.
Right. It's your life.
You just have to follow your heart.
It's quite chilly. Come inside soon.
- Goodnight. - You too.
Woo Ri. Not again.
It's delicious.
Does it still hurt so much?
Yes.
Shall I blow on it?
Okay.
Woo Ri, I think I'll get better if you kiss me on the cheek.
I'm all right now.
Hi.
Woo Ri, are you really not going to listen to me?
I told you that he needs to rest.
That's okay.
I'm so bored lying in bed all day long.
Woo Ri, get up.
Mom, can I stay here a little longer and play with him?
No.
I wouldn't mind that.
Mr. Jin.
Woo Ri was doing a great job in attending to me.
You should become a doctor.
You said your dream is to become a doctor too, right?
You said you wanted to become a police officer.
No. I'll become a doctor so I can fix him.
I almost ate your finger.
I think Woo Ri is much smarter than her mom.
She also has a much better preference in men, right?
Woo Ri, get up right now.
No. I haven't finished the examination.
What about here? Does it hurt here too?
Yes.
My heart suddenly started beating really fast. Why is that?
Where?
Here.
- Rock-paper-scissors. - Rock-paper-scissors.
(Lovers in Bloom)
Are you mad at me?
Why would you take your anger at me out on her?
Just tell me if there's anything you're upset about.
- Please be nice to Bo Ra. - All you think about is Bo Ra.
Just wait and see. I'll make him beg me for mercy.
I've decided to marry Cha Tae Jin.
Just think about it.
Who would be a better dad for Woo Ri?
- Mr. Tall! - Hi, Woo Ri!
I hope Woo Ri will like this.
Mr. Jin is in our house.
