No. No.

(Last episode)
Honey.
Tae Soo.
You should take Mother outside.
Mom. Get some fresh air.
Are you really not coming?
Ji An will feel uncomfortable if I go.
And I'm ashamed to go.
Do Kyung. That's not right.
Hey.
Is he not coming?
He won't because Ji An would feel uncomfortable.
He's ashamed to come.
He ran around in that condition...
to save my family.
My dad, Seo Tae Soo,
was like the giving tree.
Ji An.
Father will like it.
You made it well.
Father...
said he was happy.
He left with a happy smile.
So let's trust him...
and let him go.
You too, Mother.
(My dad, Seo Tae Soo,)

(Cheongju, a year later)
("How Babies Are Born")
("Old Tales and Riddles")
(Books for School Staff)
Good job, Manager Seo and Mr. Lee Yun Tae.
By the way, how did you come up with an idea...
to help single elders in our company?
Residents love it.
Saving the local community...
is our initial spirit.
I hope our branch...
would take care of compact house areas too.
Shall we?
Seul Gi, your mom is coming. She's coming.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Mother, I'm home.
Let me go wash my hands first.
- I beat you today. - You're already home?
Today was Volunteer Day.
Mom, I'll hold Seul Gi now. Let me.
- All right. - Go to your daddy.
My goodness.
- Seul Gi. Seul Gi. - Mommy is here.
Mommy is here. My gosh.
Good girl.
Did you have fun with Grandma today?
Did you have a tough day today?
No, it's not that. I went to the pharmacy...
to buy Seul Gi's probiotic drinks today,
and I bought these too for Soo A.
This is for you.
Mother.
You're the one doing all the hard work.
You play with her after work.
It's harder for you than it is for me.
I'll have one after you.
Here you go.
Okay. Thank you.
When is Ji An coming back?
She said she's coming back as planned.
(Helsinki, Finland)
The aim of designing is to lure the buyers.
Most Designs from Northern Europe...
based on craftsmanship focus on practical values.
But we also strive for natural designs...
which show a touch of humanity.
Finnish designs focus on traditional craftsmanship,
which is based on simplicity, practicality,
utility, and durability.
It's busy today.
How have you been?
Beer?
Okay.
- You signed the contract? - Yes.
I told you. I knew it was mine as soon as I saw it.
Come on. Start the bakery after we get married.
We'll get married when the bakery gets established.
I knew a thing or two about businesses.
All of them need at least a year to be established.
Then I'll open it soon and get established soon too.
Then we can't get married within a year.
Can't we get married a year later?
Can't we date longer as we work on our careers?
What?
I'll put the kitchen right here.
And I'll put the display shelf here.
No, would it be better here?
Ji Soo, we'll be late.
I got so distracted. Let's hurry. Let's go.
Ji An, Queen of Carpentry, welcome back!
She's been off the radar for too long.
When I sent 10 texts, she replied only 1.
She had a hard time in Korea.
You know that she left right after the funeral.
She told me not to mention Do Kyung or Haesung.
Would she still want that?
- It's me. - Ji An.
- Did you study fashion? - Ji An.
You changed a lot!
I told you not to come. I'm meeting Myung Shin.
Do you think I came here because I missed you?
I was practicing driving.
Look at you. You know how to drive now?
We almost broke up while I was teaching her.
We did break up once.
You two have gotten closer.
Ji Soo, lend me your phone. I must call her.
Okay.
Myung Shin, I'm back.
You're back?
What's wrong with you?
After I broke up with Jung Soo,
I got wet in the rain. So now, I have a cold.
You broke up with him?
You said you were marrying him.
That's why you said you'll introduce him to me.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to go to the airport,
but I can't move an inch.
No, no. Get some rest. Don't talk too much.
Yes, I'll rent a phone later.
I'll call you from that number. Okay.
Is your meeting canceled?
No one is at home now.
Mom and Ji Tae will come tomorrow afternoon.
You said you were meeting Myung Shin,
so I booked a meeting with an interior designer.
Don't you worry. I have many places to go.
Let's go, Hyuk.
Let's go.
- Hey. - Let me.
- Wait for me. - Thank you.
Hyuk, why do you look so nervous?
Ji Soo is doing well.
Right? I'm good, aren't I?
Yes, you're good.
I'm just keeping an eye on you just in case.
Hyuk, women don't like that kind of attitude.
She can drive better with your trust.
I forgot that you guys were twin sisters.
I thought you were my friend.
Ji An, don't you think you were too mean?
Why were you so hard to reach?
Besides, it's been a year since you left Korea,
but you're here for only four days?
I meant to stay for three days after visiting Dad.
I'm staying another day for an exhibition.
Thank you.
- Bye, Ji An. - Bye.
- Be careful driving. - Okay.
- Bye. I'll call you. - Thank you.
- Should I drive? - No.
- I'll drive. - Go get in the car.
Let me drive.
This is bad.
The duck flies in circles
Turn the sponge cake slightly to the side.
That's right. Great. That works.
You're not working. What are you doing?
Choi... Choi Seo Hyun.
(Block Bakery Factory)
No need to feel intimidated.
We are just friends.
Are you Yoon Mi?
Is that right?
You're all over Ji Ho's social media account.
Are you his friend who went to the US?
I heard a lot about you from Ji Ho.
What happened to you? What's up?
All right. Try some.
I read a post that said your bakery was good.
It is good.
What about you? What's going on with you?
What happened to your prince from New World?
I've never met such a boring man.
It's arranged. How could he be fun?
Hey, there's only so much boredom I can take.
His secretary and driver...
tagged along the whole time.
I thought all four of us were out on the date.
But he looked handsome in the photo.
He is handsome indeed,
but it's no use when he starts talking.
So what?
I can't live with a boring prince.
Wait...
Then...
Then are you back for good?
Yes. Now, I have no reason for me to study abroad.
Then what will you do in Korea?
I'll go back to Haesung and get it back.
What... What?
I'm going to sleep in a hotel tonight...
and clear my thoughts.
I'll tell them tomorrow.
A true entrepreneur is responsible...
for the company's growth and survival...
while generating incomes.
So until our next lecture,
based on the spirit of entrepreneurship,
each team will choose a product...
and come up with a sales plan.
That's it for today.
- Give us less homework. - This is so annoying.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
(School of Business)
You're already here.
I love watching students.
Drink this first.
Is this balloon flower tea?
I told you coffee would be enough.
A lecturer needs a healthy voice.
It's good.
Let's go.
I like this one.
Now, you know how to look at art.
It's all because I share a hobby with my wife.
You two look beautiful.
My husband is so busy that I barely see him.
Do you still like...
bragging about your chairman husband?
That's not it.
Having a workaholic husband...
isn't as good as you think.
You running a gallery is even worse.
It doesn't suit you.
Jae Sung.
What did you like about Myung Hee?
So why did you set up your gallery before her?
She could run one too.
Do you think I'm going to copy what you do?
You just want to spend time...
with your husband. Why blame me?
See you later in Yangpyeong.
Are you jealous?
Do you want to run something too?
Not yet.
Not working isn't so bad after all.
- Mom. - I missed you, Ji An.
I missed you too.
You must be tired from coming a long way.
It's nice to see you, Ji An.
My dear Seul Gi.
Don't cry.
You are so much prettier in real life.
Ji An!
Ji Ho!
You look so cool.
Isn't Seul Gi the prettiest?
You must've missed Korean food. Eat more.
I really missed your food.
Do you rest during the weekend?
I stay here during the weekend.
So Mom gets to rest...
while Ji Tae and Soo A get to spend time alone.
I told them to do that.
Ji Soo, you volunteered, right?
You can't believe it, can you?
Aren't you surprised I'm with my parents?
You wrote it in the email.
You met them once in a while,
and you naturally became closer.
This bulgogi is really good.
Ji An,
tell us how it was in Finland.
I took classes, worked part-time,
did assignments, and went to bed.
I woke up in the morning, went to school,
worked part-time, did assignments, and slept.
You still look much better.
When do you get to rest then?
Is it because it's so fun?
I didn't feel tired at all.
I know how that feels.
Working at the bakery is so fun...
that I don't feel tired.
You've become mature.
Let me hug Seul Gi too.
- Okay. - Seul Gi.
You are so pretty.
You're adorable.
(Product Order Request Form)
Look. We can't...
keep up with the orders.
What's the point of adding production lines?
We can't produce quality pellets...
with the waste wood we get in Korea.
So you said we would import wood...
if we could make this birch wallpaper.
But our partnership hasn't been formed yet.
Mr. Yoo, why are you so aggressive?
Haven't you run out of breath yet?
Well, the money is starting to come in.
I can't lose the momentum.
Right. Why did you ask me to find...
a site for a new factory?
I am trying to take it slow.
Let's take it step by step.
Mr. Yoo,
don't be greedy.
When you take a stroll, you can look around you.
But when you run, you can only see forward.
Okay.
I love my room smell.
You told me not to...
tell you about what's going on here.
Weren't you curious?
What's the point? I was in Finland.
Do Kyung...
resigned Haesung six months ago.
I thought he would.
Then is your grandfather the chairman again?
No. He handed it over to Uncle Myung Soo.
Uncle Myung Soo?
Mr. Jung?
You really didn't care, did you?
Didn't you read the internet news?
Check it.
That's impossible.
He was trying to destroy Do Kyung's family.
Why would Do Kyung give him the chairman position?
Do Kyung must've been really determined.
He hired management specialists...
to manage all the subsidiaries,
and he made Grandfather step down from the board.
Then he handed it to Uncle Myung Soo.
Apparently, Uncle Myung Soo...
had the most affection for Haesung.
I didn't see that coming.
Do you know what happened to Grandfather?
He married the woman he used to live with.
He's married?
He suffered from the side effects...
of cardiac infarction,
and she took very good care of him.
I wouldn't be this well if it weren't for her.
Of course.
We really appreciate her dedication.
People around you are most important.
By the way, when will you make Do Kyung marry?
Father, who could force him to do something?
He even beat you.
But that was about the company.
This is about my grandson and bloodline.
Before I die, I must see him...
getting married and having a child.
Is it marriage now, Father?
When you don't have an obsession,
you should die.
You should take care of him.
Do Kyung sacked me...
and trusted you.
But I'm too busy.
I only managed to be here after three long months.
The problem is that he's moved out.
Why would you let your child move out?
Gosh, I'm hungry.
Dad, Ji An is here.
You didn't get to see her for a year,
so you must've missed her the most.
Dad, look at her style.
She's become a hippy.
Tell him about what you've been through.
We came here many times, so he knows everything.
Dad.
Thanks to you, I am enjoying my studies.
Because you...
left me more money than anyone else,
I decided to extend my studies.
What's in this suitcase?
What made him bring this here?
(I leave this message for my family.)
(Life Insurance for Seo Tae Soo)
- Ji Tae. - Ji An.
Dad...
had a life insurance...
alongside his cancer insurance.
Ji Tae.
Dad...
wrote how we should use it.
For my dear family.
After the twins were born, I got an insurance.
Now that I had three children,
I was afraid what would happen to you all...
if I ever got into an accident and died.
Out of fear, I got this life insurance.
It used to be a large sum back then.
But it's not much now.
I hope you will get to use it well,
so I'm writing down everything here.
20,000 dollars for cancer diagnosis...
plus 10,000 dollars is 30,000 dollars.
My life insurance will pay you 50,000 dollars...
plus the special fee of 100,000 dollars.
That's 150,000 dollars,
so it's 180,000 dollars in total.
First, Mi Jung will get 40,000 dollars.
I'd like her to help Ji Tae buy a house.
Second, Ji Tae and Soo A will get 40,000 dollars.
They can use it however they want.
Third, Ji An will get...
20,000 dollars for living expenses in Finland.
If she extends her studies,
she will get 50,000 dollars more.
Fourth, Ji Soo will get 10,000 dollars...
as an allowance.
Fifth, Ji Ho will get 10,000 dollars.
It will go into his business.
Dad.
(Movie ticket)
Dad.
Movie ticket, 9 dollars.
Instant soup, 2.90 dollars.
Jeongseon to Seoul, 17.60 dollars.
City bus 1.30 dollars.
The total amount is 30.80 dollars.
Don't visit Seoul too often.
Dad.
Seul Gi.
It would be nice to come here...
when you can walk, right?
Your arms must hurt. Give her to me.
- I'll hold her. - Here.
My gosh. You guys are becoming...
more and more lovey-dovey.
I have nothing to ask of Ji Tae and Soo A.
The fact that you met each other...
is good enough already.
Right. There's something I forgot to mention.
I signed a lease contract for my bakery.
Already? Where?
Mother, she is so blinded by the business...
that she keeps delaying our marriage.
Hey.
Ji Soo, I'm sorry...
to leave you only a small allowance...
since you have wealthy biological parents.
Right.
Let's see who runs a business better.
Gosh, stop it.
But Ji Soo makes bread with her own recipe.
They are unbelievable.
Ji Ho.
you already saved up some money,
and you are still young, so I'm giving you less.
I hope you understand.
I have no doubt...
that you will do well on your own.
Gosh. I am the only one spending money.
I hope you all understand why I left more money...
for Ji An's education.
You're just like me.
I know. I take after you a lot.
Proud and hard-headed.
Dad,
in your next life,
please be my dad just once more.
Then I will...
be a really sweet daughter to you.
Come on.
Your lines are wrong.
"In your next life,"
"please be born as my daughter."
You should've said that.
Is that it?
I said this,
before my mom passed away.
"Mom, in your next life,"
"please be born as my daughter."
I felt too sorry to her.
I don't want that though.
Why not?
I am not confident...
that I'll love my child as much as you loved me.
I don't know if you will be a son or a daughter,
but I am not confident enough to love my child...
as much as you loved me.
I want you to continue to love me,
and I want to be a sweet daughter.
It's because you've never had a child.
Once you get a child, you will love her dearly.
- Let's go now, Mom. - Okay.
Thank you, Ji An.
Thank you for being born as my daughter.
Ji Soo,
thank you for being my daughter.
Ji Tae, Ji Ho,
thank you.
I was happy...
to live as your father.
Lastly,
Mi Jung,
I loved you.
(My dad, Seo Tae Soo,)
(was like the giving tree.)
Let's see whose bread is better.
What do you know about bread?
- Hey, that hurts. - Do you know your bread?
- Seriously. - Ji Tae and Soo A...
must be happy in Cheongju.
They bought a car, and they got a raise.
And they are very much in love.
- It's that way, Mom. - Okay.
Are you really okay, Mom?
Of course I am.
Ji Tae does all the dishes and cleaning.
Soo A takes care of Seul Gi...
as soon as she comes home...
and lets me rest.
You worry about your own health.
I will.
I forgot.
I brought a frame for Dad.
I will be right back, Mom.
I will be right back, Ji Soo.
(Seo Tae Soo)
Ji An, where are you going?
Just drop me off at the subway station.
Hello?
Ji An, where are you?
Did you go see your dad?
I'm in the car on my way back.
Thank goodness.
Then please go on a blind date for me.
I have a blind date today,
but I reconciled with Jung Soo.
What? You said you broke up two days ago.
Were you planning to see someone else so soon?
They say you need a man to forget a man.
Ji Na set it up, so I can't cancel it.
You want me to spend my precious time on that?
Please go there, and just have some tea.
Please, Ji An. Okay?
My gosh.
Give me his name and the address of the cafe.
I don't know his name.
I kept refusing it,
so Ji Na just informed me the time and place.
I can't believe this.
He knows my name, so he will find you.
I heard he's a good man.
I will get a cup of cappuccino.
If someone comes here for Ms. Kang Myung Shin,
please let me know.
Okay.
- Ms. Kang Myung Shin? - Yes.
I'll have cappuccino too.
What's going on?
I didn't know you would go on blind dates...
using a fake name.
I didn't mean to use a fake name.
I'm doing my friend a favor.
Did you set everything up with Myung Shin?
No way.
I never knew anyone named Kang Myung Shin.
Then...
are you really here for a blind date?
I was.
But Kang Myung Shin sent her friend instead.
I heard she's a nice lady who's a public official.
But it turns out she's not.
Since I've been caught,
I must apologize on her behalf.
She had an emergency, so she couldn't make it.
I guess she did.
I'm not that bad to be rejected...
on a blind date.
By the way,
why are you using honorifics to me?
Because you're a stranger.
I will forget you.
But I don't want to stay in your memory either.
So we could pass like we are complete strangers...
even if we ran into each other...
as we come and go while we live.
I didn't mean this though.
I just couldn't pass you like we're strangers.
Let's get out then.
We should at least finish our coffee.
Cappuccino is my favorite.
Okay.
I'm CEO Choi Do Kyung of DK Echo Tech.
I run a small company that manufactures...
bedding pellets for pet cats.
What...
do you think you're doing?
I'm introducing myself on a blind date.
Do Kyung.
This is a blind date even though it's a coincidence.
It was you who asked me to act like a stranger.
So let's just do that.
- Do what? - A blind date.
Are you kidding me?
Do you not like me that much?
Was my first impression that bad?
We just met today.
You can't judge a person without talking with him.
That could be considered as violence.
I don't think you fully understood what I meant.
I didn't want us to start all over like strangers.
I just wanted us to go back as strangers.
Exactly.
Let's just start over as strangers.
I don't want to.
Why not?
I'm studying abroad in Finland now.
I only came to Korea for four days,
so I'm going back to Finland in two days.
Therefore, this blind date would mean nothing.
Why not?
You live in Seoul, and I live in Helsinki.
We just can't meet.
Why can't we?
A long-distance relationship could work.
When did you come to Seoul?
How many days do you have left?
Just go out with me before you leave.
This isn't coincidence, is it?
I just learned one thing about your character.
You don't trust people easily.
Why don't you ask your friend?
Ji An, did you meet him?
Don't even try to fool me and be honest.
This blind date.
It wasn't for you, was it?
What do you mean?
You said you don't even know this guy's name.
How would you go on a date without knowing his name?
Do you think I even cared about his name?
I broke up with Jung Soo.
Why? Is he weird?
I heard he's a businessman in his 30s.
And I was told he's handsome.
What a surprising coincidence.
Where are you going? I'll drive you there.
I'll take the bus instead.
Then when are you available tomorrow?
Do Kyung.
I think I have the right to ask you out...
after a blind date.
Do you even think it's possible?
You haven't moved on yet.
You're not over the past nor me.
Weren't you upset?
I was very upset.
I was upset at myself for being so stupid.
And you suffered because of a fool like me.
Were you not upset at all?
I never thought I suffered because of you.
And I'm over you.
I've been fine for the past year.
Why would I start over with you again?
Is there a reason we shouldn't start over?
If you're over me, that's better.
Then we can really start a new relationship.
Like complete strangers.
Like two people who haven't met before.
But why are you talking roughly to me?
Once I go back to Finland,
I won't come back for another year.
I'll continue my study there.
Then let's meet each other until you go and see...
if the long-distance relationship will work.
I'm going back in two days.
Then I'll see you at least two more times.
This reminds me of the old days.
I've heard this before.
Just forget about that jerk.
Just think about it, and give me a call.
No, I won't even consider it.
I refuse to go on a date with you.
Who is this?
Hello?
Is it you, Ji An?
Yes, who is this?
I'm Do Kyung's mother.
Well, hello. How have you been?
But how did you know my phone number?
I got it from Ji Soo.
But why are you calling me?
I wanted to meet you.
I don't want to.
What?
I have no reason to meet you,
and I don't want to see you.
On top of that, I'm too busy.
I'm hanging up then.
My goodness.
What did she say?
She said she doesn't want to see me.
Ji Soo.
Does Ji An still hate me that much?
I called her, but she doesn't want to see me.
She turned me down cold.
Why would she want to meet you?
But I'm an elder to her.
She should know I wanted to see her to say sorry.
I told you not to call her in the first place.
Ma'am, Seo Hyun is home.
Seo Hyun?
Seo Hyun.
Just tell me what you mean.
You came back to Korea for good?
I heard the son of New World liked you.
Gosh, I don't like him. Just thinking about him...
makes me feel sick by his stupidity.
Seo Hyun.
I'm sorry that I came back without your permission.
But Father,
you told me to think about how I want to live...
and what to do in the future last year.
I did.
Did you find what you want to do?
Ji Soo, I want to learn hotel management.
"Hotel management"?
You studied English literature...
after graduating from the college of music.
Last semester, I attended a hotel management class,
and I found it interesting.
While traveling abroad, I've seen many hotels,
so I'm familiar with that.
I want to start as an employee at Hotel MJ.
Just like you did, Mother.
I heard you started...
as an employee at Haesung Apparel.
I guess we need some time to think about this.
Give us some time to think.
How was the date with him?
Are you sure you didn't know about it?
Hey. If I knew it was Choi Do Kyung,
I wouldn't have sent you there.
I know how you felt when you left.
Right.
So how did you feel?
I was glad to see him again.
You were glad to see him again?
It was good to see him being well.
If it really was a coincidence,
he's being weird.
He was on a blind date, and he wants to do what?
Did he say he wants to start over?
As if we're strangers.
As if we just met.
My goodness.
He isn't over you yet.
So what did you say?
What do you think?
I return to Finland in two days.
Would you consider it if you were going to stay?
No.
Seeing him again...
was still painful.
Ji Soo, your bread...
is really tasty.
I could eat it every day.
Really?
Seo Hyun, pack up, and come home for good.
Can I really do that?
That's great, Seo Hyun.
However, you must apply to work at Hotel MJ...
at the end of the year.
I have to apply for the job?
Do Kyung changed the rules before quitting Haesung.
There are no tricks or favors.
I won't make you do what you don't want to.
But you can't just waste your time.
What will you do?
I'll prepare for the job application.
It's best if you visit us to discuss the deal.
Yes. Of course.
It wasn't proved enough by a slight bit.
Increase the proving temperature and time...
by 10 percent each, and try again.
- Yes, sir. - Okay.
Tell me the temperature and time you went for,
and I could coach you even better.
I can't do that. That's my trade secret.
My gosh, you didn't fall for it.
I'm not saying it isn't good. Don't get upset.
- I don't make bad bread. - What?
Nam Goo, the kids are waiting. Let's go.
We regularly donate bread to an orphanage.
- We'll take these too. - Sure.
Ji Soo, give us whatever's left after the opening.
Okay.
Thank you. Come again.
Thank you. Enjoy the bread.
- Okay. - I'll pack them for you.
Ji An.
- Hello. - Just a moment.
Not bad. There are a lot of customers.
My store ranked third...
in terms of sales.
Really?
They credit me with the franchise idea,
so I get a better rate.
My baby brother will get rich in no time.
Ji An.
I make everything as if it's for Mom and Dad...
I meant our parents.
I tell myself that hundreds of times...
as I bake and sell.
Do you?
Good for you, Ji Ho.
Hi. You're a bit late today.
I am.
Oh, you don't know him.
He buys bread before work every morning.
He's a regular here.
Mr. Seo, do you have mine ready?
Of course I do.
Here you go.
Sign this, please. Here.
DK Eco Tech.
- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.
Why do you buy bread here?
Your factory's far away.
I live nearby.
You don't live...
with your family?
Of course I do.
I'm too old to live with my parents.
I moved out long ago.
I see.
I guess this is a coincidence.
Stop playing blind date.
I first met you yesterday on that blind date.
You refused to see me again,
but since we met, will you see my factory?
Your factory?
I want to show you what I do.
You know nothing about me.
Grant me a second date.
Okay. I am curious about your factory.
Hello, sir.
Mr. Yoo.
Say hello.
Seo Ji An. I met her yesterday on a blind date.
Ji An.
He's Vice President Yoo Gwan Woo.
Nice to meet you. I'm Yoo Gwan Woo.
Then I guess I should say,
"It's nice to meet you, I'm Seo Ji An."
I started this company a year ago,
but something came up,
so I left him in charge.
Sorry.
I only did as he said.
I knew that.
I sorted it out six months ago and worked hard,
and our sales doubled.
You should expand your factory.
So you know about this field.
We're preparing something else that's wood-related.
After that, we plan to move to larger premises.
Now, I showed you what I do.
Let's go where you were going to go.
Where I was going to go?
You wouldn't...
waste your time napping.
Spend the rest of the day with me.
Why not?
So you like wood carvings.
Yes.
My greatest treasure is a wooden lamp.
It was made by my first love.
Isn't that an exaggeration?
A first love at that age?
She was my first serious love.
She changed me a lot...
and opened my eyes to see the world...
in a different point of view.
You're a smooth talker.
The woman would've been touched if she heard.
That alone...
isn't good enough for her.
She likes wood.
That's why...
I grew to like it too.
What do you want from me?
For us to start over.
Can't we forget our past...
and start again as if we met just yesterday?
Can't you...
give me a chance?
What for?
What can I do with someone I tried so hard to forget?
What good will come from starting over?
I'm not done studying.
Meeting often isn't needed to stay in love.
There you go again.
I refused, but you're doing what you want.
It's different this time.
How so?
I'm doing as your dad said.
What?
I have your dad's permission.
I feel so sorry.
I feel so sorry to Ji An.
I broke her heart.
I'm so sorry.
Get up now.
Stand up so we can talk. Get up. Come on now.
That's when I knew...
how selfish my love had been.
I had been a coward.
Yes.
Ji An wouldn't have wanted you.
I should've broken off from my family...
to approach Ji An.
But instead...
I left Haesung...
as a place to return to...
if I couldn't win her over.
All the things...
that would've caused her...
I bet you knew all that deep inside.
Yes.
I thought I just had to win her over.
You did...
everything you could...
for our family despite your condition.
But I...
only hurt Ji An beyond reconciliation.
That breaks my heart,
but I can't do anything.
I'm so sorry.
But I didn't help you...
to make up for Ji Soo or my tainted past.
I wanted Ji An to be able to...
stand proudly before you.
What...
do you mean?
I did it because I could see...
she deeply cared about you.
After I die,
and when she had no father to lean on,
I was afraid she'd be insulted again.
If I made up for what my wife and I did,
Ji An can stand tall.
Mr. Seo.
No.
Ji An had found out that I got slapped,
threatened, and went on my knees.
Now, you are in Ji An's debt.
Right.
Then make up for it.
I'm still against you dating Ji An now.
She must be against it for the same reason.
But a broken heart can only be healed...
by the person who broke it.
You hurt her, so you should heal her.
But she is leaving to Finland.
She won't even see me.
- How could I... - You should wait.
- What? - Why rush?
You said you're sorry.
Show her that you're sincere.
A scab on a big cut...
takes a long time to fall off.
You got to her...
when she tried so hard to stay away.
Now,
you're being irresponsible by whining...
just because she rejected you.
Were you sincere?
Did you want to marry her?
If you meant that,
you can wait forever.
You're smiling.
Yes, smile.
Smile and wait until Ji An comes around.
If you can.
I can do it.
Either way,
Ji An owes your family nothing now.
She's your equal now.
You met...
my dad?
I had to...
thank him in person apart from our issues.
I wanted to apologize too.
He didn't say anything.
So I waited for you,
and I can wait longer now.
You did what you wanted for a year in Finland.
Keep doing that.
I'll keep waiting while doing my job.
Before,
I approached you for myself.
Now,
I'll approach you...
for you.
What if...
I still think you're being selfish?
You'll come back in a year.
There's no pressure.
I'd like to take you home,
but I have a meeting.
Shall I get you a taxi?
No.
I'd like to take you to the airport tomorrow.
Can I do that?
If we're meant to be,
we'll meet when I return.
Let's see if you still like me then.
If we do meet again,
can we start over?
I don't know.
If I'm up for it then,
maybe.
Deal.
I have to go now.
A businessman can't be late.
That's because you aren't a mom.
Have a kid and you can't love them enough.
Do you mean I should get married?
Of course.
If you meet someone like the air.
Like the air?
Someone I can't live without?
No.
Someone you can breathe freely around.
Someone you need.
If you're like air to that person too,
you should get married.
That's hard.
Can I meet such a person?
Ji An.
Give yourself one more chance.
One day, when you come back to see me,
if you think of him and not me,
don't do what you'll regret.
Don't ignore your feelings...
because of what hurt our family.
You are most important.
Dad.
Even if I were to live,
I wouldn't want that.
For my sake,
never lie or deceive yourself.
I told you it's over.
I'm sick of him.
Okay. If you can forget about him, do that.
But don't force yourself to...
for me or our family.
Kids...
are allowed to be selfish.
- Thank you. - Okay.
No, Dad...
Dad, no.
No. No.
That's why I feel like he died in a hurry.
It's driving me crazy.
(Yeongdam Funeral Home)
Wait.
Well...
Are you...
(Kang Myung Shin)
Hello.
Ji An's at the airport right now.
She's going to Lane Gallery.
Nice to see you,
Ji An.
An. Take the order from Table Three.
Oh, okay.
Hello, Seo Ji An.
We met again.
How...
did you get here?
I'm on a business trip.
I needed Finnish birch.
I'm celebrating alone after work.
Was that why...
I think I'll come here often.
Isn't this worth trying...
a long-distance relationship?
Would you like to order?
What's good...
if I'm going to wait until you're off?
A glass of beer will do.
