(Episode 43)
I didn't think you'd actually drop by with beer.
It's so bitter. Why do people drink this thing?
I really don't get it.
Why? It's nice once in a while.
It's refreshing, and it helps you wind down.
Is something bothering you?
You suddenly wanted to have drinks with me.
You've never done this before.
Kang Rim.
Yes.
I think...
I like you.
I thought long and hard about this.
I kept wondering whether or not my feelings for you were real.
Sun Hae.
Do you think the two of us can actually date?
The two of us?
Yes.
I don't expect you to give me your answer right away.
I just didn't want to keep it all inside and regret it later.
That's why I'm telling you.
Sun Hae.
To me, dating means...
I know.
That you feel guilty about Yoon A.
But that's not love.
That's different from love, Kang Rim.
Right, maybe it's not love anymore.
Auntie Poong Geum.
What happened? I couldn't reach you earlier.
Did Bo Ri get home safely?
What is going on?
Why did that chief director, of all people,
carry her home?
Wait, does that mean he met Mom too?
He sure did.
Hey, how did Bo Ri get involved with that jerk anyway?
Does she really have to cause trouble like this?
When I saw that jerk's face earlier,
I was reminded of what your mother-in-law did to you.
It made me so angry.
That was all a misunderstanding anyway.
What matters is that Bo Ri is home safe and sound.
All right. Talk to you later.
I was too immature, honey.
I was so busy resenting you...
for leaving me behind all alone...
that I never really thought about how hard it must've been for my son.
I should have stayed grounded...
like a real adult would have.
I was too foolish.
It's...
all...
my fault, honey.
It's all my fault.
Mother is being silly.
She didn't do anything wrong.
Mother.
Cho Hee, what are you doing here?
Well, I was just...
Go ahead.
You said you wanted to talk to me about something.
Cho Hee.
I have...
made my decision.
A decision? About what?
As of today,
I'm going to put my Apgujeong days behind me.
Mother.
Wait and see.
I will do whatever it takes to rebuild the family's fortune.
I'm sorry, honey. I woke you up, didn't I?
No, I can't fall asleep.
I need to talk to you about Mother.
What about her?
She's determined to rebuild the family's lost fortune,
but it's making me anxious.
What? Mom said that?
Yes.
She'll put her Apgujeong days behind her and move on.
My goodness.
Her pride was what kept her going until now.
What if she tries whatever comes her way...
and gets hurt or something? I'm worried.
Jun has to be transferred to a hospital in Seoul?
Mom, are you sure you've been taking good care of Jun?
I told you to stay by Jun's side at all times!
Come to Seoul with Jun at once.
The flight prices aren't important now.
So...
please stay by Jun's side.
I'll look up the earliest flights and call you back.
I said I'd look up some flights and call you.
Seul A.
Kim Dong Ha. Even you have to bother me like this?
Leave me alone, please!
It's really difficult for me to get a call like this from you.
Then come to school.
You can quit your part-time job at the library,
but you can't miss your classes.
Okay, let's meet.
I have something to tell you anyway.
Goodness.
Gosh, seriously.
Hey!
Wake up already!
Get up and eat your breakfast.
What happened? Why am I here?
What? This is your room. Where else should you be?
How did I get home?
What do you think?
Some jerk carried you home on his back.
What? Mr. Yang carried me home on his back?
My heart just skipped a beat.
Goodness. My heart skipped a few beats.
Hey, your mother and I almost had a heart attack.
What did you think of him? Isn't he so handsome?
What did Mom say?
Hey, do you even know who that jerk is?
He's the chief director at Cometome.
Don't you know that your mother slapped Cho Hee in the face...
because of him?
Oh, right. You're talking about that incident.
But that was all a misunderstanding.
So it's all in the past now. Am I wrong?
It sure is nice to be simple-minded, isn't it?
How can we just let it go?
Ms. Na suspected Cho Hee of cheating and made a huge fuss about it.
Cho Hee was falsely accused of cheating, but it's over now.
Exactly. Your sister was falsely accused.
So how could you have drinks with that jerk?
Why does it matter? It's not like they actually had an affair.
Besides, he did nothing wrong.
My gosh, look at this brat. Have you lost your mind?
I'm totally sober now.
Goodness. I can't talk to you.
Anyway, don't see him again.
If you do, your mother will collapse.
And I won't let it slide either. I'll teach you a lesson!
Seriously!
What's with Auntie Poong Geum?
Did I make some kind of mistake last night?
I don't remember a thing.
It wasn't easy for me to bring this up.
And because of this, things could get awkward between us.
But take some time and think about it.
Maybe I shouldn't have told Kang Rim.
What if he says he doesn't want to see me ever again?
I'll be straightforward.
What is this about?
Who's this kid?
He's my son.
- Your son? - Do you get it now?
The reason we can't be together.
This is why I've been working multiple part-time jobs.
Seul A, I don't really understand what you're talking about now...
I'm a single mother.
And my son, Jun, is ill.
Don't fall for someone with a bad past like me.
Meet a nice, normal girl...
and have a normal relationship.
- Seul A. - Bye.
A part-time job?
Is it because Nam Gu can no longer work as a designated driver?
Is that why you need to earn money now?
How do you know that?
Seok Gu told me.
Seok Gu, that fool.
Well, yes. That's the situation now.
I can't peel garlic anymore. It doesn't suit my aptitude.
What would be good? Can you think of a few things?
Who cares about their aptitude when looking for a part-time job?
You need to accept whatever job comes your way.
Is that so?
You should distribute flyers.
The more you distribute, the more you'll earn.
Flyers?
Yes. Like those flyers they give out in front of the new mall.
Those people are all part-timers.
And I'm pretty sure they get paid quite a bit.
Really?
(We sell bone broth made with Korean beef.)
How come you only want bland side dishes today?
Nam Gu's family likes...
salty side dishes such as braised semi-dried pollock.
Is someone sick or something?
The thing is,
Nam Gu is hurt.
Nam Gu?
Yes. He had a little fender-bender.
My gosh. Why didn't you tell us sooner?
Is the injury serious? Is he in the hospital now?
No, he's okay.
The injury isn't serious. It was a minor fender-bender.
He'll be totally fine after a few days of rest.
My goodness. It still is a traffic accident.
How did it happen?
Well...
Someone's car bumped into the back of his car.
My gosh. I'm relieved that it wasn't a serious accident.
Then Nam Gu's car is probably not that damaged.
Yes, it's okay.
It must've been a big scare for your family. For Ms. Na too.
Yes, a little.
Right. Ri An's contest is today. I'll be late.
- I'll be off, Auntie Poong Geum. - Okay, be safe.
- Bye, Mom. - Okay, bye.
Oh, dear.
Gosh, how did he get into an accident?
Cho Hee must be under a lot of stress now.
Shouldn't we visit Nam Gu?
Ms. Na lives with them, you know.
Gosh, you can't even visit your daughter's place.
You must be upset.
Oh, no. Honey, we'll be late. Hurry!
We're going to the kids' contest, not a fashion show.
You're clueless.
All the moms in Gangnam will be there.
Of course, I should dress up.
Then Ri An's mother will be there too, right?
Cho Hee?
Yes, she will be there.
Honey, please don't run your mouth again.
No more talking about her husband's driving gig, okay?
Goodness. Why do you care?
Why can't I run my own mouth?
Just listen to me and don't bring it up.
Don't cross the line.
Gosh, I'm already getting a headache thinking about...
having to see Cho Hee again. Must you stress me out like this?
And who's the one that crossed the line first?
You have no right to say that.
- That wench, Gong... - Hey!
Sa Rang will hear you.
I guess you are embarrassed to talk about it in front of your child.
Stop bringing it up.
I already apologized to you.
Yes, I was a fool for doing something like that.
And I promised you that I'd never do it again.
Sa Rang, let's go.
My sweetie. Did you have a good dream last night?
I had no time for a dream.
I'm so sleepy, Dad.
Why did you have to take her out the day before her test?
Because of you, she didn't have enough time to study.
- We'll be late, Sa Rang. Let's go. - Okay.
We'll see you later, honey.
There are side dishes in the fridge.
Make sure you eat on time.
The side dishes you bought don't look appetizing at all.
Shut it.
I'm sorry I can't give you a ride, Ri An.
Your mom will take you there.
Okay, Dad. Don't worry.
Good luck on your test.
Don't you worry. I feel confident.
Ri An, ace the test and show those obnoxious brats in Gangnam...
what you can do.
Okay.
Seok Gu, please watch what you say in front of Ri An.
I am right though, aren't I?
Ri An. You understand what I'm saying, right?
Yes, I do.
Anyway, did Mother go somewhere?
She was looking a little under the weather earlier.
Really?
Yes. Your injury isn't serious, so try to take good care of Mother.
It was a big shock to her, you know.
I'm afraid she'd fall ill.
Okay, get going.
Good luck, Ri An!
Thanks, Dad. I got this.
You can do it!
- Get going. - Let's go.
See you later.
(Ranking English Academy, English Contest)
Sa Rang.
The test will begin shortly. Why do you seem so down today?
I'm afraid you'd fight with Ri An's mom again.
I'm worried.
It's not like I fight all the time.
I won't, so don't worry.
Promise me, Mom.
Promise what?
That you'd try to get along with Ri An's mom.
Okay.
(Broaden Your Perspective to the Bigger World!)
Ri An!
Sa Rang!
My gosh. You had to drive your kid all the way here.
You must be exhausted.
Yes, you take it easy too.
Oh, my husband drove us here.
My situation is very different from yours.
You little...
Mom, you promised me that you wouldn't be like this.
All right, Sa Rang and Ri An. Go on in.
Okay. I'll do a good job, Mom.
All right. I'll wait for you here. Best of luck.
You got this, sweetheart. You can do it!
I got this!
Go on in.
Wait, Sa Rang!
Best of luck, Sa Rang. You got this!
I got this!
(English Contest, Ranking English Academy)
Ri An, my mom was rude to your mom earlier.
I apologize on her behalf.
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
Did you solve the third question?
The teacher will bring the test sheets soon.
She told us to give out the OMR answer sheets and pens.
Guys, do you know what's good about winning this contest?
The winner will represent the academy...
in the nationwide English contest...
organized by Hankook University.
Ye Na will probably participate in that contest.
Here.
Hey, why did you take out a different colored pen?
This won't be recognized by the computers!
Ye Na, can I get another pen?
This must be a faulty one.
Ha Yul.
The one that represents the academy...
will participate in the nationwide contest, right?
Yes.
Ri An, you can't participate in it even if you win this contest.
Hey, don't lie.
Anyone can participate in that contest.
That's enough, Sa Rang. I'm okay.
Ri An.
It's okay.
Sit down, kids.
Gosh, what is wrong with me?
Auntie!
What's up? Why are you here?
I got a call about the flyer gig.
One of their part-timers didn't show up today.
They had a no-show?
Yes. They asked me if you could come now.
I'm really not feeling well today.
Then I'll tell them you can't do it.
Wait.
Hold on.
What is it, Auntie?
(English Contest, Ranking English Academy)
(Broaden Your Perspective to the Bigger World!)
My gosh!
(English Contest, Ranking English Academy)
Did you do well on the test?
Yes!
What's taking them so long?
Was it hard for you?
It was so hard.
(English Contest, Ranking English Academy)
That brat!
Sa Rang, I'm okay.
Let's go.
- Mom! - Ye Na, my sweetie!
- Did you do well? - Sa Rang!
Come here, quick!
Come on, quick!
- Bye. - Bye.
(Contest Prep Class Now Available)
Sa Rang, did you do well on the test?
Ri An.
Mom.
You must be tired, Ri An.
Let's go home.
(Contest Prep Class Now Available)
Ri An.
Gosh. Are you all right, honey?
Come here, my princess.
Did you do well on the test, Ri An?
I just wrote all the things that I know.
Well done, my princess.
Where's Mother?
I haven't seen her. She's not answering her phone.
Did she go to the center?
Hey, Nam Gu.
- Pa Ran. - Pa Ran.
Nam Gu.
Cho Hee.
What's the matter?
Auntie told me that I shouldn't tell anyone,
but I'm a little worried.
(Dragon Mart, Blowout Sale)
It'll take forever to give out all these flyers.
No.
Beggars can't be choosers.
Na Sun Duk, you're no longer that rich lady in Apgujeong.
Hello, there's a new supermarket...
A new supermarket just opened.
Hello, a new supermarket...
People are heartless.
It's not like your wrist will break if you take this.
Excuse me. A new supermarket just opened across the street.
What am I doing right now?
No, I must do this.
Na Sun Duk, get it together.
Hello. A new supermarket just opened across the street.
There's a grand opening promotion.
Hey, handsome young man. Take this.
A new supermarket just opened across the street.
Come and check out the grand opening promotion.
A new supermarket just opened across the street. Check out...
Why would he throw it away?
He should have it if he took it!
Why throw it away? My goodness.
Gosh.
(Dragon Mart, Blowout Sale)
My gosh, thank you...
(Dragon Mart, Blowout Sale)
Cho Hee.
Mother.
(The All-Round Wife)
- Seul A. - I'll be off, then.
I sensed some tension between you two.
Shouldn't we visit Nam Gu?
I'd do anything to avoid seeing them.
What's up? You didn't even call.
I'm sorry, Ms. Seo.
That's enough, please.
What did you just say?
I'm glad you're here.
Are you done talking?
What if I am done?
I will take my daughter.
