(Episode 37)
Do you want me to tell you a few stuff about Director Kang?
Will you do that for me?
I could even let you meet him.
Can you really help me meet him?
Yes.
But if I help you, what will you do for me in return?
What?
"Do ut des."
Do ut what?
It's Latin, so I guess you wouldn't know what it means.
If I give you something, you should also give something in return.
Tell me what you want.
I want an American-style breakfast every morning.
I also want a bidet installed in the bathroom.
And get me a goose down blanket.
What?
Are you really friends with Director Kang?
What if you're lying?
We went to college together.
He passed the preliminary bar exam,
but gave up there and started getting ready to manage the company.
I was able to get a job at this company thanks to him.
If you don't believe me, just forget it.
Wait.
When will you let me meet him?
He's on a business trip right now,
and he'll be back next month.
I'll let you meet him once he comes back.
Really?
If you're really his friend, show me a photo you took with him.
Why would we take a photo together?
I do have his business card.
Here.
"PR and Marketing Team."
"Director Kang Suk Joon..."
You see?
So are you in or not?
- I'm in. - Okay.
I also want broccoli soup for breakfast tomorrow.
I don't know if it's a good idea to trust that guy.
But he works at the same company and even has his business card.
So he can't be lying, right?
My miserable days are over, and happiness awaits.
Sooner or later, there will also be an AC installed in this room.
Eun Ja.
- Eun Ja. - Why are you home already?
You asked me to show up so you could set me up on a date?
If I told you about it beforehand, you wouldn't have come.
So you lied to me?
I went there expecting to have dinner with you.
I was dumbfounded...
when I saw a strange woman sitting there instead.
How did it go?
Did you tell her Yu Kyung is living with her mom in the States?
I was worried she might not want to get married...
if I told her she's living with you.
First, get married.
Then you can convince her to live with Yu Kyung.
Are you kidding me?
She was never married, and she's a college professor.
She has a great background.
On top of that, she has a great personality.
I don't want to lie about Yu Kyung just to get married.
- I told you. - Do you think of me as baggage?
- Yu Kyung. - What are you doing here?
Mom also thought of me as baggage.
Do you think of me the same way?
No, I don't think of you that way.
Don't get mistaken. We're just going to lie to her for a while...
Why did you have me in the first place...
if you were going to lie about me?
You never should've had me.
I'm not going to lie about you just so I can get married.
Don't lie to me.
Adults are all two-faced.
If you think I'm so bothersome, I'll just disappear from your life.
- My goodness. - Yu Kyung.
- What... - My gosh, seriously.
- Yu Kyung. - My goodness.
What a difficult kid.
She just ran out without even hearing us out.
My gosh.
Yu Kyung.
(Yu Kyung)
The receiver cannot be reached. Please leave a message...
Why? Am I not even allowed to drink now?
This isn't going to change anything.
Is the director that powerful?
He became an executive director.
He became an executive director, and you became a full-time employee.
You guys must be really happy to have it all.
Stop being sarcastic. I'm going to quit.
Are you trying to get on my nerves?
The internship was only for a few months,
and my mom insisted that I did the internship.
But working full-time is a different story.
I'm not that brazen and shameless.
I'm able to tell what's right and wrong.
Remember when you told me to ask my mom for help last time?
I don't have a mom.
I don't have a dad either.
I don't know where they are.
You may have worked there because your mom forced you to.
But I was desperate for the job.
I know you got the internship using your connections,
but I trusted that the company would be fair...
when it came to choosing a full-time employee.
But I was a fool to have expected anything.
I'm sorry for what happened.
So stop drinking.
Where do you live?
I don't know.
You need to tell me where you live so I can grab you a cab.
Let me go.
Soon Jeong.
What does she want me to do?
Soon Jeong, wake up.
Soon Jeong.
Where is Yu Kyung?
I couldn't find her.
Why would you do that? You only ended up causing trouble.
When did I ever say I want to get married?
Then are you going to grow old and die single?
Before that happens, I might die due to frustration.
Can't you see that I'm trying hard to become closer with Yu Kyung?
Things were going good, but you just ruined everything.
I didn't know Yu Kyung would suddenly show up like that.
I just did this for you...
How is this for me?
Just don't do anything.
Stop interfering with my life.
If you keep doing this,
I'll just have to move out with Yu Kyung.
Fine. Go ahead.
You're the one who wanted to move in here.
What's going on?
Yu Kyung threw a fit and just left...
after she found out I set her dad up on a blind date.
Shouldn't we keep looking for Yu Kyung?
I couldn't find her anywhere. She won't answer my calls either.
I'm sure she'll come back once she feels better.
She came from abroad, so she doesn't have any friends.
I have no idea where she could be.
Do you think I should report this to the cops?
Come in.
Is this good enough?
It's not bad.
I want you to change my blankets today.
Is that really necessary?
I need to sleep well in order to recover from my fatigue.
Have you been using goose down blankets all your life?
Yes.
But you don't even make much.
You'll become broke if you waste money like that.
That's why I'm asking you.
I'm saying this because we're running out of living expenses.
You can't expect results without putting in any investment.
There needs to be an input in order for there to be an out...
That's enough.
Just make sure I get to meet the director once he comes back.
Okay.
Hey, Soon Jeong didn't come home yesterday.
She didn't come home?
No. Her phone is turned off as well.
Do you think something happened?
Do you know the number of any of her intern colleagues?
No, I don't.
What's wrong?
Well...
I don't know if it's because I couldn't sleep well last night.
But my chest hurts a little.
Don't worry about Soon Jeong too much.
I don't want you to stress yourself.
I'll call her, so you should go inside and get some rest.
Okay.
Did you stay up all night?
Hasn't Yu Kyung returned yet?
I think something happened to her.
I should call the cops.
Just wait a bit longer...
before you call the cops.
If you make a report, they'll call the school,
and rumors will spread.
Why is that important?
What if the kids hear about it,
and they start badmouthing Yu Kyung?
She's already having trouble adjusting to her school life.
It won't do her any good.
Then what am I supposed to do?
Am I supposed to just wait until she comes home?
I'll ask her teacher if any of the kids...
keep in touch with Yu Kyung.
Call me the moment you hear anything.
Okay.
Min Ji, you're really upsetting me.
You upset me, too.
Why are you upset?
Because you don't listen to us.
We told you to meet that director guy,
but you refused.
I didn't refuse.
Okay, fine. I'll meet him. I'll be able to meet him next month.
Really? Do you mean it?
Yes. So get up and wash your face.
Min Ho.
Mom's going to meet that director guy.
- Really? - Yes, she told me herself.
Are you really going to meet Director Kang Suk Joon?
Yes, the upstairs lodger is going to help me meet him.
He went on a business trip abroad,
so I need to wait until next month in order to meet him.
- Nice. - Nice.
But it might not work out.
I need to like him,
and he needs to like me.
You know what I mean, right?
Yes, I know.
Now, go and have breakfast.
The device is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.
- Where in the world is she? - You will be charged...
after the beep.
My gosh, what am I doing here?
This is crazy.
I don't remember anything.
My gosh.
Darn it.
What? He left me here all by myself?
Can you give me my cell phone?
- Here. - Thank you.
No problem.
Hello?
How could you leave me in a motel room all by myself?
Then was I supposed to sleep right next to you?
I asked you your address,
but you wouldn't tell me.
Just be grateful that I didn't leave you lying outside.
I even paid for the room. I did everything I could.
Nothing happened, right?
What do you take me for?
I didn't even touch you.
Okay, fine. You don't need to get so angry about it.
Women get the wrong idea even when men are kind to them.
Just get yourself a hangover soup and go home.
Seeing her drunk and lying outside wasn't attractive at all.
My goodness.
Hey, kid.
If you continue to stay here, I'm going to call the cops.
Why?
You were here all night.
What about that?
We're about to get a lot of customers, so please leave.
I'm also a customer.
I was about to make an order.
- Is it yummy, my princess? - Yes, it's yummy.
Eat up. Drink some cola as well.
By any chance, did Yu Kyung ever contact you?
The last time I saw her was yesterday at school.
If you ever happen to reach her,
please let me know.
Did something happen to her?
She ran away from home yesterday,
and she's been out of touch ever since.
Did her father call you?
Yes, this morning.
Did something happen at home?
I don't know the details.
Just let me know if she ever contacts you.
Okay, ma'am.
Hello, Ms. Oh.
Hasn't Yu Kyung called you yet?
No.
By any chance, did something happen at home?
She thinks her mom and I think of her as baggage.
She left saying everyone will be happy once she's gone.
Oh, I see.
Don't worry too much. I'll ask the kids about her.
Thank you.
Why didn't you come home last night?
Do you know how worried I was?
Did you come home late because you drank with your colleagues?
- Then you should've at least... - Mom.
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
Did something happen?
I didn't get the full-time job.
Why?
I thought you had the highest score.
I was supposed to get the job,
but an intern who made a lot more mistakes than I did...
got the job using his connections.
This world is so unfair.
It's useless to work part-time...
because the deposit keeps increasing.
If I got the full-time job, I was going to work for 10 years...
and use the money I saved up to open up a restaurant.
I know.
I have no money,
and I have no parents who can use their connections to help me.
And people like me don't even get a chance to get a fair assessment.
You should get some good sleep.
Then I'm sure you'll feel better.
Come on. Let's go.
Has Yu Kyung contacted any one of you since yesterday?
If she ever happens to contact you,
let me know right away.
Did something happen to her?
No, I'm just trying to make her join the team again.
Okay, you got your rest. It's time to practice again.
Start out with weight training.
Dae Geon, you can help them out.
- Okay. - Okay.
Hey, Mom.
Soon Jeong came home.
She did?
She didn't get the full-time job.
Oh, really?
- Mr. Ha, you did great. - Thank you.
Yes!
Dad! Dad!
We can start selling our products at Royal Department Store now.
- Really? - Good job, Executive Director Kang.
We also cut the commission by 50 percent.
"50 percent"?
That's amazing.
- Good job, Executive Director Kang. - Thank you, Dad.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
How are things going with the model contract?
I'm trying my best.
I brought results.
Now, it's your turn.
I know.
Our brand entered Royal Department Store...
and even managed to cut the commission by half.
That's great. Good for you.
This is all thanks to you.
Thank you.
I'm glad I was able to be of help.
I'll treat you to a meal.
- Just a meal? - What?
You should also buy me a drink.
Yes, of course.
I'll buy whatever you want me to buy.
How about tonight?
I have plans tonight. I'll call you next time to fix a date.
What's gotten into her? She never asks me to treat her to anything.
Is she trying to reject me again?
How are you going to deal with the consequences?
Are you really going to meet her as the director?
Have you lost your mind?
Then why did you make a promise like that?
I had my reasons.
I'll just tell her that he refused to meet her.
Do you think she'll give up?
If I tell her he doesn't want to meet her,
she'll have no other choice but to give up.
But by then, I'll already have a new blanket and a bidet installed.
And an air conditioner.
I'm a bit nervous about this.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Is your friend searching for Ms. Kim's son?
Yes, he's searching.
Like I told you last time,
it'll be much quicker if you figure out his name.
Okay, I'll try to find out.
How does it feel? Doesn't it feel nice?
Yes, it's nice.
You should bring the kids after practice.
I'll help them recover from all the hard training.
- Should I really bring the kids? - Yes, it's not too far from school.
I'll support the team with the stuff we have here.
The kids will be happy to hear that.
It really is nice and comfy.
Why are you sleeping on my bed?
Oh, well... I wanted to see how it felt...
after I changed your blanket, but I guess I dozed off.
Isn't it nice? I bet you fell asleep as soon as you lied down.
Of course. It was expensive.
I also want a bidet installed pretty soon.
Okay.
I want to eat scrambled eggs tomorrow.
You know what scrambled eggs are, right?
Of course. There's nothing I can't cook.
My goodness.
I heard you didn't even eat lunch.
Are you going to lie there all day?
Back when I did interviews for the short-term teacher position,
some interviews were just carried out as a formality...
when they had already picked out whom to hire.
I already knew that, but I thought they might...
change their minds and hire me instead...
if I showed them how passionate I was.
But I stood no chance.
I already knew that, but it still upset me.
It just upset you? I would've gotten furious.
Yes, I was furious.
I thought about going back inside and throwing a fit.
And I even thought about telling the press about it.
Why didn't you?
But I just decided to change my mind.
As long as I do the right thing, I'll always get another chance.
After I started thinking about it that way,
I started to feel less angry and resentful.
Soon Jeong, you shouldn't let those people...
make you feel so upset.
You're right.
They wouldn't even care about this right now.
Just let those fools have their fun for now.
I want to eat. There's no reason for me to starve.
You're finally back to being you.
Let's eat and go to a karaoke room.
Let me relieve my stress.
Sure.
Did you call the cops?
Yes, I gave them a photo.
They told me they'll call me after they check the CCTVs.
Isn't Yu Kyung answering her phone yet?
He reported her missing to the cops.
Is she checking your texts?
I think so.
Then that's good enough.
She's just trying to make you feel anxious on purpose.
The fact that she's reading your texts...
means she's doing okay.
She thinks you gave up on her...
for sending her off with her mom.
Did she say that?
Yes.
I think she's just scared of being abandoned.
If we were going to abandon her,
we never would've asked her to come back in the first place.
If Yu Kyung felt that way,
it means we made a mistake.
My gosh.
What's the matter?
Are you sleeping all day now that you're jobless again?
I got the full-time job.
What? You got the full-time job?
Yes, thanks to Eun Ju.
Tae Woo got the full-time job.
Did you hear that?
Leon, are you happy, too?
We're going to go to a karaoke room. You should come with us.
"A karaoke room"?
We're off to a karaoke room.
("Change" by Lee Jung Hyun)
You're doing great!
No one is sane
Everyone is going crazy
How am I supposed to trust anyone?
I can't trust anyone
Chicks go chirp, chirp
Calves go moo, moo
The hunter shoots his rifle
And the wild duck waddles
Good job.
Frogs swim
Come on, hey, mommy
Come on, hey, daddy
Come here and take care of the kids
Come on, hey, sister
Come on, hey, brother
Someone come and stop these kids
I don't need to pretend to be cute or sexy
I don't need to act like I'm sexy
Because you see me for who I am
You have common sense and manners
And you talk, look, and behave very sensitively
I see you for who you are
You're just a palm taller than me
And every morning
I wake up to the sound of your voice
We're just perfect for each other
Come on, mister
Come over here
Slowly walk toward me step by step
Hey, you over there with that pretty smile
I'm talking about you, you
You make me go crazy
You have a great body and stunning looks
Come on, you're the best
That was great!
You sing like a professional singer!
You still sing so well, Pil Jeong.
She was even in a band back in high school.
It's a pity that she never became a singer.
You were in a band?
Yes, I was the lead singer.
My goodness.
Mom, I'm thirsty.
Oh, really? Min Ho, let's go buy some drinks.
Okay.
Come on.
- Gosh, I'm sweating. - She still sings so well.
I'm so thirsty.
There we go.
Look who's here. Hey, it's you.
Who are you?
We met on a blind date.
Don't you remember?
Oh, hello. I'll leave you to have fun.
Is he your son?
You're pretty brazen for thinking you could reject me...
even when you have such a grown-up son.
You're even ignoring me now? Hey.
Don't touch my mom.
How dare you talk that way to an adult?
Hey.
You should be singing at a karaoke room.
Why are you trying to start a fight?
And why would you try to hit a kid?
Who are you to get involved?
Me? I'm...
He's my dad.
(Mom Has an Affair)
He's your dad?
Why would you call me your dad? You made me become a married man.
I talked to Director Kang today,
and I told him about you.
Yu Kyung is at their place.
She's at Ms. Oh's house?
- Min Ho, say hello. - Is he your son, Ms. Oh?
Don't you miss your son?
I wonder if I'll be able to recognize him if I meet him now.
I'll ask if he can figure out his date of birth.
I'm pretty good at finding people. Do you need my help?
What do you need to talk to me about?
Are you free tonight?
