(Episode 113)
Shouldn't I be the one to decide what to do with my future?
But I feel as if...
you were forcing me to live the way you wanted me to.
I want to ask you a question.
If I said I would quit teaching and start my own business,
would you be against the idea?
(Bangsoo Construction)
Gosh. Look at that.
Oh, no. I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
Hey, you don't look like you mean it.
Apologize again. Do it properly this time.
I'm sorry.
I made a mistake.
Wait. That's Won Ju.
Okay. I'll buy you a new pair.
- What's going on? - I'll buy you a new pair, okay?
You'll buy me a new pair? Can you even afford to do so?
Forget it. Just get down on your knees right now,
and sincerely apologize again.
Then I'll let it slide.
What? You want me to kneel down?
This woman must have eaten something bad.
How dare you? Do you know who I am?
Of course, I know who you are. You're a cleaning lady.
Listen. I am...
No. I shouldn't tell her. I'll just let it go.
Gosh, how ignorant. The way you speak tells me...
that you're totally uneducated.
And you have the worst temper too.
"Ignorant"?
Hey, what did you just say?
- My gosh. - You little...
Hey.
How dare you speak that way to my daughter-in-law?
"My daughter-in-law"?
Your daughter-in-law?
That's right. Who are you...
to tell my daughter-in-law to get on her knees?
I see. You're her mother-in-law.
Both of you are so ignorant and have no class.
What? I'll teach you a lesson.
Stop. Don't get involved. Let me handle this.
Hey, listen, lady. You think you're better than us?
Do you want to see what this ignorant granny can do?
I can't believe this. You ignorant women.
This isn't over. I won't let this slide.
Gosh, seriously.
You won't let it slide? What are you going to do?
I'll teach that wench a lesson.
Stop it. Won Ju, calm down.
Working as a cleaner,
you have to deal with mean people like her. It happens.
Why did you stop me?
I should've pulled all of her hair out like plucking a chicken.
I'm so angry. Gosh, I'm furious.
Here. Drink this. It'll help you calm down.
Thank you, Ms. Na.
By the way, Won Ju.
Your hair is so messy. You should do something about it.
- Pardon? - Don't touch it.
I'll fix your hair.
You'll do that for me?
There. Won Ju, turn clockwise a bit.
Like this?
You see, I'm really good at combing hair.
Until Ri An started school,
I combed and tied her hair every day.
I see.
I should not fall for this.
I really shouldn't.
- Dad. - Hey.
What are you doing at home at this hour?
I came back to pick up some documents.
You never come home during work hours.
I wonder what kind of documents they are.
They are very important documents. Absolutely important.
- Oh, and Hyung Do. - Yes?
Did you eat lunch?
Not yet. What about you?
I didn't either. How about we have a quick bite together?
Just the two of us?
Sounds great.
Great.
I tried...
Ms. Na's recipe that she gave me the other day.
How does it taste? Do you like it?
This is the best ramyeon I've ever had.
Really? Please have some more, Dad.
- It's so good. - I'm glad you like it.
Thank you.
I'm happy that you're enjoying it.
Here you go.
Hyung Do.
Yes, Dad.
To be honest,
I used to think that you didn't take your job seriously.
But seeing how much effort you've been making lately...
made me realize that I had been wrong about you.
I see.
Of course, you must have some things to improve.
But you can get some help and advice...
to improve yourself, don't you think?
Dad.
So if Professor Kang or anyone else...
offers you help, don't refuse.
Do you understand? That's how I really feel.
I understand.
Also,
you should cherish the relationships you have with others.
Even in the future. Do you understand?
Yes, I'll do that, Dad.
Then... Oh, right. Eat up. The noodles will get soggy.
Yes, Dad.
- Please eat a lot, Dad. - Okay.
Our break time is over. Let's get back to work.
Yes, Ms. Na.
What?
Yes, Manager.
Pardon me?
Yes.
Well, that's true, but...
Right now?
Is that our manager?
- Yes. - Let me talk to him.
Hello? Sir.
I'll explain it to you.
I saw what happened.
Yes, sir. I'll do that.
You can leave for the day once you finish your work.
I'll get this sorted out on my end.
Ms. Na.
My goodness.
The doctor said I was five weeks pregnant, Mother.
Oh, I see.
Wait. Hold on. That means...
Then when did it happen?
Auntie Poong Geum.
Right. That's not important.
As you must know,
you should be very careful in the early stages.
Kang Rim, make sure Sun Hae stays healthy.
The mother's health is as important as the baby's.
Yes, Mom.
I'll take good care of her.
Oh, my. It feels like a dream.
Jang Geum, I can tell from this ultrasound photo...
that the baby takes after Kang Rim.
It's only five weeks old now. What could you see? How silly.
Come on, Jang Geum.
I can just feel it, you know.
It's so cute.
I know.
You're still here.
How did it go, Ms. Na?
It's been resolved well.
Did that woman willingly let it go?
I mean, the manager sounded totally mad.
I just apologized to her.
So you can put your worries to rest now.
But why would you apologize to her?
She was the one who was at fault.
Well, honestly,
I'm partly to blame as well.
It's all in the past now.
Don't feel bad about it. Let's forget it, Won Ju.
I'm sorry that you had to go through it because of me.
Ms. Na, maybe we should've told her...
about our relationship with Father.
Who did she think we were?
Goodness, don't say that. Don't even think of doing it.
We shouldn't put Brad in a difficult position because of this.
Well... But still...
Just forget about it. Let's change our clothes and go home.
Wait, Ms. Na.
Why?
You see... I think...
we need to have a deep conversation.
How about we tell each other...
our honest feelings through a 1-on-1 conversation today?
Our honest feelings?
Yes. You see, I have so much to talk to you about.
But didn't we...
talk a lot when we were locked up in the storage?
Well, that's true.
But I want to talk to you more.
All right. Let's do that.
Then I'll go out and get some stuff we need.
I'll be right back, Ms. Na.
Stuff we need?
What do we need?
(Cometome)
Come in.
Chief Director Seo Cho Hee.
Honey.
What brings you here?
I came back because I wanted to congratulate you properly.
Honey.
It took me too much time, right?
No.
Your office looks amazing.
I'm proud of you, honey.
It's really nice.
Oh, honey, what if someone comes in?
I don't care.
I...
did a lot of thinking while I was on the trip.
I thought that maybe we'd acted prickly toward each other...
and hurt each other's feelings over a petty matter.
Honey.
I was just happy that someone needed my help...
because he recognized my abilities.
But I know that the school is where I belong.
Don't you think so?
And...
I've never wanted to get any money from Mr. Bang,
and I never will.
So don't worry, honey.
Thank you, honey.
And... I'm sorry.
You have nothing to apologize for.
I'm sorry.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the tone.
Oh, gosh. She switched her phone off.
Hasn't Won Ju come back yet either?
No, she hasn't. Ms. Na isn't back yet either, right?
No. She must've left work hours ago. What's going on?
Ms. Na switched her phone off too.
Did some kind of accident happen like last time?
Dad, we should go to the office to find them.
You're right. I think we should do that too.
Hurry up and get ready.
- Yes, Dad. - Okay.
I think we should wait a little longer.
- I said I would do it. - No.
Just sit back and relax. I'm making dinner today.
Right. Leave it to him, Cho Hee.
Nam Gu's spicy fish soup is amazing.
But Seok Gu, why must we assist him?
To keep the peace in Nam Gu's family.
What does this have to do with keeping the peace?
You just have to know that it helps.
We've done enough, right, Nam Gu?
Right. Thank you so much.
Pa Ran, let's go to your place and order a pizza.
What? I thought we were going to eat with them.
Why are you so tactless, Pa Ran?
Then enjoy a romantic dinner, Cho Hee.
Follow me.
It hurts. Ouch.
It's so nice that Dad is back home.
Really?
By the way, Mom, Dad is making this stew...
with the fish he caught by himself, right?
That's right. Your dad caught all the fish here by himself.
By the way, you must be really hungry, Ri An.
You had to wait so long.
It's okay, Dad.
I feel full now that you're back.
Are you serious, Princess Ri An?
Yes, Dad.
The soup tastes so good.
Mother.
You're calling me "Mother" now.
I'm...
really upset.
What did I ever do to you to make you so upset?
Not at you.
I'm upset at Father.
You're upset at Brad?
Yes.
I mean, Hyung Do has been making so much effort...
to get recognition from Father.
He didn't sleep or eat.
He even had a nosebleed from both nostrils.
From both nostrils?
Yes. That's what I said.
He worked so hard on his business proposal,
and Father told him to get advice from Nam Gu.
Does he think that Nam Gu knows...
more about business than Hyung Do does?
I mean, Hyung Do is his own son.
He's Father's only child.
Don't you think that it's just so cold?
I'm sure that Brad had his own reasons.
So Won Ju, wait a little while and see how it goes.
I should wait? For what?
If I do nothing, your family will probably...
swallow the company whole.
Don't be ridiculous.
That will never happen.
I swear on everything I have.
Mother, you can't promise that.
Listen, Mother.
Why would Father update his will? If you think about it...
Unless he's planning to name Cho Hee and Nam Gu...
in his will...
You don't know anything.
Brad is going to update his will?
Won Ju, what do you mean by that?
- Tell me. - Ms. Na...
Here they are.
My gosh. What's going on here?
Have you two been drinking here?
- What? - Oh, dear. Brad.
- Oh, gosh. Dear me. - Oh, no.
- Goodness. Ms. Na, are you okay? - Hyung Do.
- And Father... - You seem very drunk.
No, I'm fine. I didn't drink much.
- My goodness. - I drank a lot.
Gosh, seriously.
Honey, why did you keep your phone switched off?
My phone?
I put Mother's phone and mine in the fridge.
So that no one could interrupt our conversation.
What? You put them in the fridge?
- Gosh. - That's unbelievable.
My gosh. She actually put them in there.
This is Won Ju's phone.
- Dad, I think this one is Ms. Na's. - Right. Yes, it's hers.
I'm sorry, Brad.
It's okay.
Let's go home, Won Ju. Get up.
Gosh, you're so heavy.
- Seriously, how much did you drink? - I'm not going.
Father.
Yes?
Father, I hate you.
What?
Won Ju. My gosh.
Father, you only adore Cho Hee and her family members.
Why do you hate me and Hyung Do so much?
It hurts my feelings, Father.
It makes me so, very sad.
- Oh, boy. - What... I...
Dad, she's so drunk that she's talking nonsense.
Let's go now. Come on.
- Come with me. - Father, I hate you.
- I hate you, Brad. - Stop it.
Brad.
Don't worry. I'm fine.
I'm okay. Don't you worry.
I told Ri An...
that she was going to be a big cousin. She got excited.
She did? Of course, she's excited.
She must've been lonely since she had no cousin.
Exactly. Watching her get all excited...
made me think we should've had another baby right after her birth.
It brought back our old memories.
Our old memories?
Yes.
I was so happy when you were pregnant with Ri An.
To be honest, when I heard about Sun Hae's pregnancy,
I thought about how we were when I was pregnant.
That made me miss you more.
Really?
Actually, I missed you so much yesterday.
Then why didn't you come straight home?
I waited for you all night long.
And I thought of you all day today.
I was so worried.
Well... I wanted to see how long I could last...
without you.
What? My gosh.
You've become a smooth talker.
Oh, right. Honey.
Guess who I met at the fishing spot.
Who did you meet?
Bo Ri's boyfriend, Chief Director Yang Jae Min.
Oh, right. You're the chief director now.
You met Mr. Yang?
What are the odds? Right?
It seemed to me that he had some issues with Bo Ri.
I didn't say anything since it was between the two of them.
But I could just tell.
Did they have a fight?
Here's some honey tea for you.
Drink it. You'll feel better.
Thank you.
You were so cute last night.
Those rosy cheeks...
made you look like a young newlywed wife.
Come on. Don't be silly.
Brad.
I heard about your will.
Have you decided to update it?
How did you know that, Ms. Na?
Well, that's not important, Brad.
Do you know that Hyung Do has been pulling all-nighters...
to write a business proposal?
Well, yes, I know that he's been working on it.
I'm grateful that you're considerate of my son Nam Gu.
But I don't want Hyung Do to be scarred because of it.
I mean, no one should be hurt.
I made the decision because I was worried about Hyung Do.
Right. I should have been more thoughtful.
I didn't tell everyone where I stood clearly...
and caused trouble as a result.
I should have this all sorted out...
as soon as possible. Right.
What do you mean by that?
What? You don't have to know.
I'll tell you everything when it's been sorted out.
Give me a little more time, Ms. Na.
You got promoted to chief director, Cho Hee?
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I thought Sun Hae's pregnancy was...
more exciting news than my promotion.
So I let you celebrate it first.
I see. Congratulations, my daughter.
We should at least eat together.
Oh, I see.
Okay. I understand. Bye.
Did Cho Hee get a promotion?
Yes, apparently.
That's great news.
Cho Hee had such a hard time emotionally.
I know, Poong Geum.
So? When will Cho Hee have free time?
We should have a party to celebrate it, right?
She must be very busy as it was a sudden promotion.
She said it'd be hard for her to make time.
Gosh. Even so.
Hi, Bae Soo.
Today?
Well... I don't know. Today...
Is it something urgent, Bae Soo?
Oh, I see. Then I'll see you some other time.
Anyway, congratulations.
Your family has a lot to celebrate.
Congratulations on becoming a grandma.
And congratulations on the promotion your daughter got.
But what is it about?
Why do you want to meet me alone?
I'll tell you when I see you.
I can't talk about it on the phone.
Then I'll talk to you again soon.
Bye.
Hi, Bo Ri. Did I keep you waiting too long?
No.
Tell me more about what you told me on the phone earlier.
Oh, that?
Did you really meet Nam Gu at the fishing spot?
Yes. He seemed like a really nice person.
I see.
But Jae Min, you look troubled.
Well... Bo Ri.
Yes. Why?
Whatever decision I make,
you will stay by my side, right?
You will support my decision, right?
Of course.
But what do you mean by that? What kind of decision?
I moved out of my parents' house.
What?
I couldn't find any other way.
Why did you do that?
Please tell me it wasn't because of me.
It wasn't because of you, but because of me.
I want to live my life on my own.
So I need you to trust me and always stay by my side.
Can you do that?
Jae Min.
