(Episode 52)
Mom.
How did you know we were here?
I don't want you guys to come home.
Just stay here and keep playing games.
What are we going to do, Mr. Kim?
I don't know.
I'm worried I might get kicked out.
Me too.
You're her son.
Let's go home.
Why are you guys home? I told you to keep playing games.
I'm sorry, Mom.
We were only going to play for one hour.
The entire family was worried sick,
but I guess you don't really care about that.
You didn't even answer my calls, so it seems like you had a blast.
- Well... - I asked him to come with me.
No wonder.
Min Ho never once went to an internet cafe.
Why would you convince a little kid...
to go play games with you?
Mom, I'm really hungry.
Can you please forgive us just this once?
Yes, he's right. Min Ho didn't even eat lunch.
You can't fool me. Get out.
- Get out right now. - But...
Get out. Bye.
I don't get why she's that angry.
Your mom's weird.
She's mad because she couldn't reach me.
The day my dad got out of touch,
he got into an accident and died.
So she gets nervous when people don't pick up...
because she thinks something might happen.
My gosh.
Let's go get something to eat. What do you want?
- Jjajang... - There's a jjajang...
What?
- Let's go eat jjajangmyeon. - Okay.
Come on.
Why did you tell my mom that you asked me to play games?
I didn't want you to get scolded.
I'm used to hearing your mom nagging at me.
You eat very well just like your father.
He's not my dad. He's a lodger at our house.
"A lodger"?
You guys look alike when you eat,
so I thought he was your father.
Thank you for explaining our relationship to him.
You're welcome. You're single, aren't you?
Why do you think I'm single?
Because you don't have money.
Why do you like money so much when you're just a little kid?
Because my mom needs to marry someone who's rich.
Why don't you just grow up and become rich yourself...
so you can give money to your mom?
That will take too much time.
That means my mom will have to struggle until then.
Thank you for lying to my mom for me.
What?
Suk Joon's birth mother is living with Pil Jeong at her house?
I went to Pil Jeong's house...
and compared her with the photo I found.
I'm not quite sure yet.
But that only explains why they sent Suk Joon...
to that house.
How are you going to find out the truth...
when Suk Hwan won't even tell you anything?
I have my ways.
How's the track and field team?
They won't be able to win an award, right?
You have no idea how hard they practice.
I feel like they're getting better.
So I'm kind of worried.
Can't you cancel the offer and tell Pil Jeong...
that she can't become a full-time teacher?
I can't do that. The decision came from the foundation.
Now that you're the daughter-in-law of LX Group's chairman,
tell your in-laws that you'll be in charge of the foundation.
Me?
You seem very busy these days.
He started an IT business with his friend.
He started a business?
Isn't that a bit too much for you?
You'd better not ask Suk Hwan...
to help you financially with your business.
What's wrong with asking a rich brother-in-law for help?
If my mother-in-law finds out, she'll get angry at me.
Don't worry. I'll make sure that doesn't happen.
You still have some of that...
white cucumber kimchi from Ms. Baek, right?
- Why? - I need to take some of that...
in order to explain why I'm late.
My goodness, you're so smart because you take after me.
Okay, I'll get it for you.
You're so cunning.
I'm just being wise so I can get along with my in-laws.
Mom, Min Ho is home!
Why are you home?
- I'm sorry, Mom. - I'm sorry.
Did you eat jjajangmyeon?
What?
How did you know?
You have sauce on your lips.
I guess Min Cheol bought him dinner.
Min Ho, go to your room and get changed.
Okay. Sorry, Mom.
If you take Min Ho to an internet cafe again,
I'm going to kick you out.
Okay.
Aunt, when are you going to start selling pizza?
We're opening next week,
- so you can come visit. - Okay.
I went to the restaurant...
and saw her business partner.
- He had a nice first impression. - Really?
I'm glad to hear that he seems like a decent person.
Why is this on the bed?
Come on, hey, mommy
Come on, hey, daddy
Come here and take care of the kids
Come on, hey, sister
Come on, hey
What are you so excited about?
Why did you suddenly go to an internet cafe?
I wanted to see what it's like.
So did you have fun?
Yes. I was upset because I fought with Seo Hyung,
but I felt all better after I played games with Mr. Kim.
And I was the one who asked him to take me to the internet cafe.
So don't be so hard on Mr. Kim.
Why are you suddenly taking his side?
- Hey... - Hey...
You go first.
I think Min Ho had a fight with his friend.
Don't scold him too much.
I have no choice because I also need to be his dad.
If you're with the kids again like you were today,
please call me and let me know.
Okay.
By the way,
don't worry.
I won't let anything dangerous happen to the kids.
You want to keep doing sports?
Yes.
To be honest, I'm a little worried.
You know how people say it's difficult to major in sports.
Maybe it's because I like it.
But I find it fun even though it's difficult.
Mom made me play the piano,
ballet, and golf, but this is way better.
And I like seeing myself get better.
I'll discuss it with your mom.
I already know what she's going to say.
She was always against what I wanted to do.
So are you saying I should approve no matter what?
I'm asking you to respect my decision.
You don't have to approve, but you can at least support me.
Okay, I'll think about it.
Why did you come home so late?
My mom made white cucumber kimchi for you.
Really? Thank you.
You only eat stuffed cucumber kimchi.
I just never had the chance to try something different.
Thanks to my daughter-in-law,
I'll get to try white cucumber kimchi.
I don't like eating food that was made by someone else.
So stop bringing food to our house.
Okay, Mother.
Why are you talking as if her mother is a stranger?
Well, she doesn't live with us, does she?
That's enough. Go on upstairs.
- Okay. - Okay.
Here.
I know you're a busy man,
so I apologize if I've bothered you.
No, you're free to visit whenever.
My daughter told me that you and your wife are very kind to her.
And that really put me at ease.
She's very clever and smart.
She's much better than my son.
Well, here's why I visited you.
You know Eun Ju used to work as a teacher, right?
Yes, I know.
Eun Ju is still very interested in education.
And she wishes to take part in the foundation.
She does?
Yes, but it looks like she's having a hard time...
telling you about it.
So I came to ask you instead without telling her about it.
We'd love to have her take part in the foundation.
I think my wife will also agree.
Eun Ju was right.
We really do go hand in hand.
Thank you.
Don't mention it. Drink up.
Okay.
Really? Did Father really say that?
Yes. Your father-in-law already agreed to it,
so your mother-in-law won't be able to disagree.
Suk Hwan also wants me to become the chairperson of the foundation.
He told me he'll push forward with it.
Okay, bye.
Did they find Kim Bok Soon's son?
No, I don't think so.
Do you have anything else on Seogye-dong?
No, not yet.
Let me know as soon as you find anything new.
My class ended late, so I got here later than expected.
- I'm sorry. - No, it's okay.
I'm sorry I asked you to meet me for lunch amid your busy schedule.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
I eat too well, don't I?
I get hungry really quickly after class.
It's nice to see you eat well.
You're way better than a woman who counts how much rice there is.
I'm surprised to hear you make jokes like that.
Am I really way better?
You're the only person who laughs at my lame jokes.
Was that also a joke?
Yes.
You can go ahead without me.
Okay, sir.
I think you should let Yu Kyung do what she wants for now.
She's a clever girl, so she'll do a great job.
I feel a lot better to hear you say that.
Ms. Oh.
Min Cheol.
What brings you here?
I'm here to eat.
What about you two?
We're here to eat, too.
"We"?
Why did you guys meet here?
- I needed to talk to her. - About what?
What do you think? He's a school parent,
so he came to talk about Yu Kyung.
Then why not talk at school?
Someone might get the wrong idea.
What if someone spreads a rumor about you two at school?
What are you talking about? Just leave.
Hello?
Really? I'll be right there.
I have an emergency patient, so I need to get going.
- Okay, go ahead. - I'm sorry.
Let's drink tea.
Drink it yourself.
- Are you angry? - Why are you so rude?
We were talking about Yu Kyung's future.
No one would've thought that way.
It looked like you guys were on a date...
Don't you know the Kim Young Ran Act?
Don't you know that it's against the law...
to let a school parent treat you to a meal?
We're allowed to let someone treat us to a meal,
refreshments, or drinks that cost up to 30 dollars.
The steak I ate cost 28 dollars.
Plus, I paid for my meal.
You should apologize to Mr. Choi the next time you see him.
He wasn't there to consult her as a teacher.
They were obviously on a date.
Aren't parents supposed to talk to teachers at school?
Who meets a school teacher...
at a restaurant that plays nice music in the background?
What if people get the wrong idea and spread rumors...
saying she's dating a student's father?
I didn't like the way Yu Kyung's dad looked at her from the beginning.
Didn't you also see him that day at the schoolyard?
Do you like Ms. Oh?
What?
You're obviously jealous.
What are you saying?
Here.
Listen carefully to your heart for 10 minutes.
My goodness. Are you okay?
Seriously?
Do I really like that woman?
What do you think?
What?
Are you still not sure?
I'll see you.
I knew it.
- Rock, paper, scissors. - Rock, paper, scissors.
I won again!
Rock, paper, scissors.
If you don't play, you lose.
Rock, paper, scissors.
No, that can't be.
It's probably a side effect for having been single for so long.
- Yes, that's right. - Rock, paper, scissors.
That has to be the reason why.
If you don't play, you lose.
Rock, paper, scissors.
- Rock, paper, scissors. - Rock, paper, scissors.
I won every single round.
Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim! It's me, Min Ji!
Hey, Min Ji!
Hey.
Are you upset because of what I said this afternoon?
Why would I be upset? I'm not a kid.
Okay, good.
- Give me that. - It's okay.
I bet you thought I was going to refuse.
Thanks. It was getting heavy.
Mom.
Can you both hold my hand from each side and carry me?
Mr. Kim is probably tired.
Mr. Kim, please.
Okay, fine.
Let's go.
Ready, go.
1, 2, 3.
- This is so fun. - Yes, it is.
I don't think Mr. Kim enjoyed it.
- What? - Let's go inside.
My goodness, I'm so glad I ran into you.
- It's the hair salon lady. - Yes.
- Hello. - Hi.
I'm not here for you today, Pil Jeong.
I'm here to talk to the young man.
- Me? - Yes.
I've had my eyes on you...
ever since you moved to our neighborhood.
I'm very fond of guys who are good-looking.
You're not seeing anyone, are you?
I'd like to set you up on a blind date...
with someone very nice.
No, that's okay.
Okay, I'll do it.
Really?
I love your quick response.
But you don't even know what kind of woman she is.
She's a pianist.
She has a great personality, is very pretty,
and even comes from a great family.
I'll fix a date and let you know. Bye, Min Ji.
Hey, wait. No, wait!
I didn't know you were so desperate to go on a blind date.
Let's go, Min Ji.
This isn't right.
Grandma, the hair salon lady...
is going to introduce Mr. Kim to someone.
That lady is so nosy.
My gosh, I can't believe she's had her eyes on him.
Are you really going to go on a blind date?
He was extremely quick to say "yes".
You should've seen the smile on his face...
when he heard she's a pianist, pretty, and is from a great family.
When did I smile?
I don't want Mr. Kim to go on a blind date.
Why not?
Because if he meets that woman and gets married,
he'll have to leave us.
He can't live with us forever.
He'll have to leave one day.
He must've grown on you, Min Ji.
I should take care of my skin...
in order to impress my blind date.
Do you know any good face masks?
Why are you asking me?
You're a woman, so I'm sure you know.
I don't apply face masks.
You seem awfully happy about your blind date.
Well, not exactly.
Should I...
not go?
Why are you asking me?
She doesn't seem happy about my blind date, does she?
Or am I wrong?
How did things end up like this?
Honey.
Isn't it tiring for you to oversee the company...
and the foundation at the same time?
Yes, I bet she is.
Plus, she doesn't even care about the foundation.
What's with you guys?
The foundation's been quiet for a long time.
Why don't you let Eun Ju take your position?
You want her to quit work and focus on the foundation?
It's not a heavy responsibility.
I'm sure she can do both.
I agree with the idea.
Eun Ju used to teach kids,
so I'm sure she'll do a great job.
Did she ask for my position?
My gosh, she's not interested in your position.
She's already satisfied with her current position.
Mom, please. Come on.
Do this to save my face.
Let Eun Ju be the chairperson of the foundation.
Mom.
I think my mom's going to let you take over her position.
Really?
I was going to ask her,
but my dad brought it up first.
Your father?
I'm worried you might get tired of having to work...
and take care of the foundation at the same time.
I'll make sure I don't tire myself out.
You're the best, honey.
Do you know how you feel now?
I can't believe I have feelings for her.
Me neither.
I never imagined you'd like a single mother...
with two kids.
When did I start liking her?
Was it my birthday?
Just admit it.
Does she also know how you feel?
I'm not sure yet.
How do you think she feels?
She seems interested in me at times.
But sometimes, she's indifferent.
That's so vague.
I came to thank Ms. Oh for helping out...
with an event at our company.
She's not even here.
I'm not sure if it's okay for me to accept this.
Tell her you got it from the PR and Marketing Team at LX Group.
Then she'll know.
May I please use the bathroom?
Sure. It's over there.
I'll get you some tea.
(Soon Jeong)
(Grandma)
So you work at LX Group?
The guy who lives upstairs works at that company as well.
He lodges at our house.
Really? It sounds like you're pretty close with him.
Yes, I see him and eat with him every day.
Is he also close with Ms. Oh?
At first, they fought all the time.
But these days, they've grown a lot closer.
I see.
I'm heading home...
after I met up with the athletics association.
Okay, bye.
They look good together.
Just a second.
Ms. Oh!
Why are you ignoring me?
Why would you leave her there all by herself?
Did you see her?
What do you think?
I can't say anything about her personality.
But I don't know.
I'm not sure if she's pretty.
She's pretty enough.
Okay, fine. You must be happy that your blind date is pretty.
Are you jealous?
"Jealous"? Why would I be jealous?
What is your problem?
I felt the same way when I saw you with Yu Kyung's father.
Am I jealous that she's pretty?
What's the matter with me?
Ms. Oh!
(Mom Has an Affair)
The lady who lives with you seemed like a very kind woman.
Is she nice to you like a mother?
Should I ask him to keep searching for her son?
Yes. I want to help her meet her son.
Where did you hide her?
Where's my sister?
- A musical? - Don't go.
He's just using the kids as an excuse to meet you.
I personally believe in fate.
A person who makes your heart beat all of a sudden.
