(Episode 15)
Thankfully, your wound isn't deep.
Disinfect it well, so it won't get infected.
I think you'd all right if you apply ointment.
Okay.
Thank you.
Why are you out so late? It's dangerous!
Where's Ah Ri?
She says she's running late because of work.
Mister, would you like to have this?
Why would you have this for dinner?
You need to have a proper meal.
I bought it as Ah Ri told me to have something first.
This tastes so good.
I'm fine. Let's go. I'll walk you there.
It's here.
Ah Ri and I are staying here.
You should go in.
Don't run around by yourself when it's dark.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Thank you so much for saving me.
You were so cool.
It's not easy to find a house.
The studio we saw last seemed the best.
The tenant needs a month until she moves out.
That's not good.
Should we have a look around tomorrow again?
I think I should wait a month and move into that house.
That place is the cheapest.
Then you're going to say in an inn for a month?
It was uncomfortable at first,
but I got used to it, so it's all right.
I'll sign the contract tomorrow.
- Then I'll go to the real estate... - No.
I'll do it alone.
If he finds out that you saw me and found me a house,
Dad will freak.
You lied to Dad already because of me.
You even argued with him. I'm sorry.
Why would you say you're sorry?
Ah Ri, I'm your mother.
If your daughter is in trouble, a mother should come forward.
They say it takes a whole village to raise a child.
Byeo Ri is smart and kind.
But you'll go through a lot while raising her.
I had ups and downs while raising Bo Ra by myself too.
Mom.
Call me anytime whenever you need my help.
You know I'm always on your side, right?
I know.
Right. Your dad...
would've had so much trouble while raising you alone.
So he might be angry at you...
because he knows you'd have a hard time because of Byeo Ri.
Ah Ri, you're here.
Hey, what happened to your face?
Did you fall?
Did you get hurt? How did that happen?
Well...
Joong Han,
why would you drink without any food?
Did you have dinner?
No, I didn't feel like it.
You'd get sick if you drink on empty stomach.
What?
Dad saved you?
Yes, he even bought ointment and applied it.
He walked me here too.
Geez.
But Ah Ri, where have you been?
Oh, I went to the real estate agency with Mom...
to find us a house to live in.
Wow, really?
When are we moving out?
Well, a month from now,
so we'd need to stay here for the time being.
Is that okay?
Of course.
I'll be with you, not by myself.
Right. Let's hang in there for a month.
But how did those punks who hurt you look like?
If I ever see them, they're dead meat!
Give me a glass too.
Aren't you going to the flower market today?
I don't have many orders tomorrow, so I don't think I need to go.
But...
why are you back so early from the reunion?
Actually, I looked at studios with Ah Ri.
So...
did you get a room?
Well, there is a place close to Byeo Ri's school at a fair price,
but the tenant will move out in a month.
I told Ah Ri to look for another place,
but she says she'll move in there.
We're going to sign the contract tomorrow.
Then will they be staying at that inn for a month?
They have no choice.
It wasn't easy to find a place that I like.
By the way,
I heard you met Ah Ri yesterday.
Yes.
You know...
I feel like a heavy rock is pressing down on my heart...
ever since Dad told me he'll never see me again.
You don't want to give her the same pain, do you?
But still, I feel so proud of her for trying to take Byeo Ri...
under her wings rather than turning a blind eye.
She is indeed our eldest daughter. Don't you agree?
That's right.
This.
Have you listened to it all?
Aren't they all-time favorites?
They are,
but they made me cringe.
I especially like...
this song.
Whenever I listened to it, I thought about you.
What song is it?
- Would you like to have a listen? - Yes.
I listened to this song so many times too.
Korean pop music comforted me...
during my lonely times of studying abroad.
You must've been really lonely.
Didn't you date anyone while studying abroad?
Dating?
I did. Do you think women would've left me alone?
What?
How many have you dated?
How long have you dated them? Did you meet her on the campus?
What am I a womanizer? Why would I meet so many of them?
I just...
dated one girl for a long time.
For how long?
About five years.
Five years?
Oh, my gosh.
What kind of woman was she?
Well,
she was really different from me.
She wouldn't care what others would think of her.
She had to do what she had on her mind.
She was a person of a free spirit.
Why did you break up with her...
when you went out with her for five years?
She left to do what she wanted to do.
What? Then were you dumped?
I guess I was.
It would've been so sad for you.
Well, I wasn't sad.
I was rather angry.
We better head out...
if you are to go to work at dawn.
Right.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I think I drank too much wine.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- Honey. - Yes?
Could you wash some blueberries and give it to me?
Don't forget to wash it with purified water in the end.
Blueberries?
There should be a pack in the refrigerator.
Okay.
(Bo Ra)
What?
He texted Kim Bo Ra again?
She could lean a little this way.
Bo Ra.
Bo Ra, we're here.
Oh, dear.
I fell asleep.
You slept like a baby.
Did I?
Go on in.
Can you go without falling?
Of course.
I'm not drunk anymore.
- Bye, Jun Soo. - All right.
You idiot!
Why did I fall asleep?
I didn't snore, did I?
I hope I didn't drool.
Welcome.
Oh, you startled me.
Dad, you're still awake.
What are you doing out here?
The night was fresh, so I was just getting some air.
How did the shooting go?
It went well.
After filming,
I had dinner with Jun Soo. I had a glass of wine.
I see. Good.
I want to see the commercial quickly.
Oh, right. Here.
You should try this in the morning.
What is it?
This is the Wonky Box Lunch, which is popular on social media.
Wonky Box Lunch?
That's right. It's made with ungradable produce.
The men who are living at Grandpa's run the business.
Oh, is that so?
All right.
I'll share it with Mom in the morning.
You need to go to work early tomorrow. You should go rest.
Okay.
You make sure you don't stay out too long...
and catch a cold, okay?
I will.
Oh, Jun Soo!
It's been such a long time!
I just moved here too.
What a small world.
How have you been?
It's not like you and I are close enough to ask how the other's been.
Hey, what's with the cold shoulders?
You know...
You came home late today.
Oh, my. What's wrong with you?
Did something happen?
You've broken out into a cold sweat.
It's nothing.
It's something for sure! Look how you're sweating!
Are you sick?
Have you been drinking?
Yes.
I had a glass of wine during dinner.
Dinner?
With whom?
I'm tired.
Okay.
Do you want some honey water?
No, it's okay.
I'm going to bed.
All right.
Oh, it looks tasty. You said it's 100 servings, right?
Yes. It's the freshwater snail gangdoenjang...
and wonky cabbage and fresh greens ssambap lunch.
Let's try it ourselves first this morning.
Okay.
Can I have a glass of the garlic peel water?
Of course.
Thank you.
We're going to have cabbage and greens ssambap for breakfast.
Is that okay with you?
Sure.
Her hands are as big as pot lids. How would she make those?
Look at them. They're all wonky. They look weird.
Just listen to how he talks.
One of these days.
One of these days, what?
I'm going to sew up your lips!
Amazing! We hit the jackpot!
What?
Look at this.
The video with you two in it had 600,000 views!
There are a ton of comments too!
They said you two have amazing chemistry!
Wow, 600,000 views? Really?
The boys living at my dad's made this lunch?
That's right.
Bo Ra said they're famous on social media.
- Here, try it. - Okay.
Let me taste it.
- It's so good! You try it too. - Really?
The flavor of the wild aster is really strong.
I know.
My mom used to make a lot of fresh green dishes.
It reminds me of her cooking.
I guess we won't have to worry about my dad's meals.
I guess so. That's good.
Let's order from them now and then.
Okay. Let's do that.
But you looked like you couldn't sleep last night.
Did you get any sleep?
I did.
Well,
I've given it some thought.
For the month before they move into the studio,
you can have the kids stay on the first floor.
Really?
I don't think that having them stay at an inn is right.
Honey, that's wonderful.
But...
it's just for the month...
it takes them to move into the studio apartment.
Honey.
This is the best I can do.
Okay.
Charge!
I'm glad you changed your mind.
Thank you so much for making this decision.
Hello, sir.
Who's this?
It's Madam Suncheon!
Long time no see.
I was worried you were eating alone, so I brought you some side dishes.
This is pickled chili pepper and garlic,
and this is young radish kimchi.
You shouldn't have.
Thank you. I'll enjoy it. Goodness.
But who's this?
What?
Oh, do you live with her?
Good for you.
You were alone for some time.
What are you talking about?
How could you think that I'm this geezer's partner?
You darn hag.
One of these days.
Oh, you're not?
These young men are living here while paying rent,
and they run a lunch box business.
This old lady works for them.
Madam Suncheon was my late wife's best pupil.
Oh, I see.
How's your side dish factory going?
Oh, don't get me started.
The supermarket we used to supply went out of business,
and we're on the brink of closing!
Everyone orders food from the internet these days.
You run a side dish factory?
It's as good as closed. We have no orders.
Could we use your factory temporarily?
My factory?
It's out for sale,
so it can be operated right away if someone takes it.
We got an order for 100 servings of meal boxes,
and it'll be hard to make all of them here.
I'll pay the rent.
All right. I mean...
I'd be glad to as long as you pay.
That's great since we'll have more orders from now.
Then can I go to the side dish factory tomorrow?
Goodness. Sure.
Yes, Mom.
Did Byeo Ri go to school?
Yes, she just left wearing the new coat you got her.
She was all excited.
Right.
Your dad said to stay home for the month...
you wait to get the studio.
Did he really say that?
You didn't force him because of us, did you?
No, I didn't.
Your dad is not the kind of man who would be convinced like that.
I see.
But I kind of feel uncomfortable for Dad and Byeo Ri.
Listen to me, Ah Ri.
If you refuse, your dad will be upset.
All right.
I'll pack our stuff and go in after Byeo Ri comes from school.
Goodness. You have some spare time today.
Yes.
We're not getting many orders or deliveries today.
Right. You need days like this.
By the way, when is Bo Ra shooting a commercial for Jun Soo's company?
She filmed it yesterday.
After the shoot, she had dinner with Jun Soo.
What? She filmed it yesterday?
Then Jun Soo's dinner appointment yesterday was...
It seems they had a drink too.
Didn't Jun Soo tell you?
What could they have talked about...
for Jun Soo to break out in cold sweat?
What? Cold sweat?
Oh, it's nothing.
Jun Soo won't talk to me about anything.
He's no longer a little kid anymore.
Why does he become quieter as he gets older?
Jun Soo is so busy these days.
I guess he has a lot on his mind.
You think?
But Bo Ra hasn't heard about her dad yet, has she?
Oh, my. The director had texted me.
(I'd like to treat you to dinner. Any time works for me.)
I can't refuse again.
Should I join him for a meal?
Yes, my dad's in it too,
so I should have dinner although it'll be inconvenient.
Director Kim. As I read your message late,
I am replying to you now.
This is very kind of you. I appreciate it.
Would you be available tomorrow evening?
Do you mean to select popular products online...
and open a pop-up store?
Yes.
If they can taste it in a real store...
for a set period before buying it,
it could be a special event for the customers.
It seems to be a good idea, but...
Director Kim. Do you have good news?
Oh, it's nothing.
The pop-up store seems excellent.
Write up a plan.
Take extra care in selecting good products.
Yes, sir.
Dinner tomorrow sounds great.
Then I will see you at six at a restaurant in Cheongdam-dong.
Gosh. In Gangnam?
There will be so much traffic as it's rush hour.
What is it, Ah Ri?
Did you cast the CEO of Daybreak?
Jun Soo said he can't work with an irresponsible writer.
Why did you pull a no-show?
So he can't be on the show?
I begged him to get a new appointment.
What? A meeting?
With whom?
Who do you mean? It's you.
Aren't you the writer in charge?
When?
Call Jun Soo's secretary and set a new date.
Make it soon.
Okay.
Hey. I'm going home tonight too.
What? You're coming home? Really?
Did Dad say so?
Yes. We got a studio.
But we'll have to wait for a month. He said to stay home until then.
Unbelievable.
He's a parent too.
Hey, you know you have to clean the toilet for a month, right?
What a perfect period is that?
I'll see you at home.
Tell me.
Byeo Ri.
Oh, ma'am!
Did you study well in school? Were you a good student?
Yes. But did you send the meal box to us at the inn?
Yes. Did you enjoy it?
Yes. Wild greens bibimbap tasted great.
Goodness. That's wonderful.
But aren't you hungry?
What do you want to eat? I'll buy you anything.
A hamburger?
Hamburger?
Okay. You can have a hamburger or hot dog.
Why not pizza as well?
It's Ah Ri.
Ah Ri.
Byeo Ri, where are you?
I'm at the school gate.
What is it?
I'm going to your school now, so wait for me a bit.
You're coming to school?
Yes.
Dad told us to stay home until we get a studio.
Really?
He told us to come home?
Yes.
I'm almost there.
Let's go home together.
Yes, Ah Ri.
What's going on?
I'm going to Ah Ri's house again.
We can't have a hamburger today.
What do I do?
It's okay.
But will you live with your sister for good?
No, it's not that.
But we can stay at her parents' house for a month.
I see.
Okay. Go when your sister comes.
I'll go now.
All right. See you again, ma'am.
Goodness. See you again.
I'll see you.
- Excuse me. - I'm sorry.
(No Matter What)
Do you know that old lady too?
Didn't Joong Han say anything?
I have an appointment with Director Kim.
Have a good time.
I'm going to kill both of them.
Do you know CEO Na's type?
Where are you going dressed like this?
It's because of that rude girl, right?
Hey. You have a scandal with CEO Na.
