(Episode 59)
You're already up.
Yes.
Good morning, Sun Hae.
What can I do to help?
You should have slept in.
I always wake up early.
You don't need to do anything.
We'll fix breakfast.
Just go sit down since you're a guest.
No, let me do something.
Then can I scoop rice for everyone?
Would you do that?
Of course.
Seeing the two of you together...
makes me feel like we're a big family.
Jang Geum, the two of you look like mother and daughter.
What? Mother and daughter?
Really? Does Ms. Oh and I look that good together?
Yes, sure thing.
Like you've always been a family. You look perfect together.
Kang Rim!
Come out. Now!
Why?
Finally, Sun Hae is in our kitchen!
What are you talking about?
She's in the kitchen,
helping Mom and Auntie Poong Geum fix breakfast.
Then what are you doing here?
Go help Mom.
What do you think of Sun Hae?
Isn't she so great?
And Mom is truly fond of her too.
Hey, life is short.
What if someone else snatches her up while you take your sweet time?
Make her yours now, or you'll regret not doing so later.
Are you going to keep blabbering away here?
I'm saying this for your own sake.
Come and join us when you're ready.
(Seo Kang Rim Law Office)
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
You said you wanted to talk.
Are you not going to say anything?
Sun Hae.
Yes, Kang Rim. Go ahead.
I'm fully aware that I struggle with interpersonal relationships.
Not just with romantic relationships.
Even with my friends and acquaintances.
Did you want to see me to confess...
that you have zero social skills?
And that said,
things like meeting someone new,
breaking up, and forgetting someone...
For me, it's never as easy as I think it should be.
And?
So? What's your point?
My point?
That's right. What you're really thinking.
No, I want to know how you feel.
Okay, I get it.
What?
This is too frustrating for me. I can't wait any longer.
I'm going to...
give up on liking you.
Sun Hae.
This jerk named Seo Kang Rim...
can just keep being my friend.
What do you think?
While staying at your place for the past few days,
I had a lot on my mind.
I have to say, it was so nice.
Your mother, Auntie Poong Geum, and Bo Ri.
They all treated me like a member of the family.
So I imagined how happy I would be...
if I could live with them as a member of the family.
But you know,
seeing how uncomfortable you were...
That was not easy.
You no longer look at me the way you used to.
You're like a different person now.
It's not your fault.
It's very difficult for me to start a new relationship.
Although I know that it's something I have to overcome eventually.
That's right, Kang Rim.
So...
let's stop trying.
A person's feelings...
is not something you can control or change by trying.
Sun Hae.
Do you think we can go back to how we used to be?
I'm not sure.
I don't think we can.
I was just kidding.
Now that I've given up on such a difficult task,
I feel so much better.
(Bangsoo Construction)
Finally, I'm here. It certainly was not easy.
My gosh, look who's here.
Ms. Na's daughter-in-law, right?
Hello, sir. How have you been?
Same old, you know.
Anyway, what brings you here again?
Sir.
I got the ad contract for the apartment complex!
Do you remember...
the important contract I told you about? I got it!
Oh, my. Well done!
Because you made sure that the documents reached the chairman,
I was able to seize the opportunity.
Thank you so much, sir.
Gosh, don't mention it.
Anyhow, I'm so glad to hear that it went well.
What are you staring at? They're just shoes.
Sorry, don't mind me.
Also, I wanted to thank you for taking such good care...
of my mother-in-law.
Come on. I didn't even do anything.
It's really nice to see the two of you get along so well.
We work together, you know.
Of course, we should get along. Am I wrong?
You should go inside.
Okay. I'll see you again soon.
All right.
What did she mean by that?
Did she want to tell me that she'll wait and see what happens?
Or that she's rooting for me and Ms. Na?
My gosh, Ms. Na must be waiting for me.
(Parking Attendant)
Yes! This is how it should taste.
I guess you've fully recovered.
You're back to being the amazing cook that you are!
I recovered quickly thanks to the medicine you gave me.
Thanks to you, I can enjoy all the side dishes at lunch today.
Thank you very much.
I'll see you at lunch.
Right, I haven't been in my office for so long.
How about we have lunch there today?
Your office?
You have your own office?
I mean, the parking management office.
It's no fun to eat here every day.
Okay. I'll be there on time.
Good.
By the way, your eldest daughter-in-law...
My daughter-in-law? What about her?
Oh, it's nothing. The break is over now.
I'll see you later.
Okay.
Hold on. What was that about?
Goodness. If she wants me to come in for this interview,
she needs to buy me a suit.
Why do I have to wear yours? This is not cool.
Shut it. This will do.
Darn it. Why do your limbs have to be so unnecessarily long?
This really blows.
I can't believe I have to work for that old loser...
as a parking assistant.
Do you know how hard it is to get a job these days?
Just be grateful that you got this interview.
Hang on.
If I do poorly in the interview,
I don't have to work as a parking assistant, right?
You little...
Don't try to weasel out of it.
Tell him that you'll work very hard.
You'd better not bomb the interview on purpose.
Darn it.
Gosh, seriously.
Take your time and eat up.
My gosh, it looks so good.
(Parking Attendant)
My, it's so delicious.
Hi, Cho Hee.
What? You're here?
I'm sorry.
I'm busy. I have a lot to do.
We see each other every day anyway.
You don't have to come and see me here.
Don't worry about me. Just get going.
I'll see you at home.
Was that your daughter-in-law?
Yes. She said she stopped by to take care of something.
She's leaving now.
I saw her earlier.
She was here for an important meeting.
She dropped by to say hello.
She did? How come you didn't tell me?
I'm telling you now.
We were busy talking about us earlier.
How come you're not eating?
Oh, I'm going to eat.
That handkerchief.
By the way, Brad.
Yes.
This handkerchief...
and the medicine.
What does it mean?
Ms. Na, you're not so quick-witted.
What do you think it means?
Shouldn't you know by now?
You've lived long enough to know...
that the twilight years will fly by.
So...
So you're saying we will...
- Ms. Na. - My gosh.
Today is...
our first day as a couple.
As a couple?
(Night Goblin Travels)
Oh, here.
My gosh.
She said she had a lot of work to do.
Now, I know why she packs her lunch every morning.
Have some water.
You're such a fool.
If you do nothing and lounge around all day,
will your father want to pass his business to you?
Do you think he'll be impressed?
Dad's not home right now.
He'll never know...
as long as you don't say anything to him.
Seriously!
You know what? This is considered domestic abuse.
Here, look.
His company's anniversary is just around the corner.
Are you preparing anything for it?
What do I have to prepare?
My gosh. Has it already been 35 years?
This is the perfect chance for you to win some points.
You should not waste an opportunity like this.
What will you do?
My dad hates things like company anniversary parties.
He thinks it's a complete waste of money.
So don't do anything silly.
We'll do it the practical way.
Father will love it.
So get up already. Let's go out.
- Where are we going? - No questions, please.
Just get ready and come out, okay?
(Parking Attendant)
Sit up straight.
Sitting like that is bad for circulation.
You'll end up with twisted hips.
Well, did you bring your resume?
No. I had nothing to write on my resume.
How brazen.
Tell me about your previous work experience.
Ms. Na told me that you used to have your own business.
Don't pry into details.
It was a global business.
You wouldn't understand even if I told you.
You're a lot more discreet than you seem.
You have your driver's license. Do you have any other certificates?
A driver's license is all I need.
Why would I need other certificates? They're all useless.
You're right.
A parking assistant just needs to know how to drive.
You're hired!
- What? - You can start tomorrow.
You're hiring me? You're not failing me?
When I first met you, I didn't know...
that you are this honest.
I like you!
Sir!
How did my son do, Brad?
Ms. Na. Starting tomorrow, you two can come to work together.
- What? So he got the job? - Yes!
My gosh! That's so great, Seok Gu!
Mom, he's such a weirdo.
Towels for the company anniversary gift?
Yes. What do you think?
A gift for each hardworking employee.
What has gotten into you, honey?
Your wife is very thoughtful.
My gosh, these are very nice.
I love the thickness and the colors.
- Yes, it's nice. - Yes.
Then should we get these?
Sounds good.
That looks delicious.
You know, Jang Geum...
I was...
reminded of the old days when you brought up our old house,
so I went through our old photos.
Our old photos?
Yes.
And I found this.
My gosh.
This is a photo of Cho Hee's dad. Where did you find this?
Inside an old notebook.
Things were very hectic after we lost him like that,
so I thought all of his photos were gone.
I didn't know I kept this.
You must miss him.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss him.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Mom, Auntie Poong Geum. I'm here.
What? My gosh. We see you so often these days.
My mother-in-law always brings her own lunch to work.
So we run out of side dishes quickly these days.
Ms. Na brings her own lunch to work?
Yes, that's right.
My, that's impressive.
That way, she can save money on lunch.
Well, there are other reasons too.
Anyway, I'll get the ones made with ppageumjang...
and a few other things as well.
Okay.
Hello.
Jang Geum, she's here again.
Hello.
Was this japchae made today?
Yes, of course.
The noodles seem swelled up though.
My gosh.
Can I get a pack of seasoned acorn jelly?
Just a moment, please.
Poong Geum, can you take out a pack of seasoned acorn jelly?
Okay.
How is Jun? He's doing well, right?
Yes, of course.
He must've won your heart when you watched him the other day.
Should I drop by more often with Jun?
No.
We'd appreciate it if you never left him here again.
By the way, have you lived here for a long time?
Yes. Long enough, I think. Why do you ask?
You probably remember most people who used to live in this area.
Yes, I think so. Although I don't remember everyone.
So many people come and go.
How would we remember everyone?
Unless they're our regulars.
I'll be a regular.
Since we're neighbors, let's be friends.
Yes. I'd love that too.
Six dollars, please.
Seul A will pay you later.
- Sorry? - Bye!
What? What's her deal?
Excuse me.
- Me? - Pay before you leave.
Like I said, my daughter will pay for it.
You know that she works at this dry cleaner's.
What's the problem?
Who expects a store to open a tab these days?
I wasn't asking you to start a tab.
Anyway, who are you? Why are you butting in?
I'm the store owner's daughter.
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
Mom. Oh, hello.
Perfect timing. Give her six dollars.
What?
She ran out after me...
because she was worried I wouldn't pay for this.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what my mom did,
but please understand.
Okay.
"Understand"? Understand what?
Mom. That's enough, okay?
Look, it's just six dollars.
This is not how you should treat your neighbors.
Unbelievable.
Mom, seriously!
Why? What did I do?
- Here, six dollars. - Thanks.
What is the matter with that woman?
She's the most shameless person I've ever met.
She's ridiculous.
She leaves her kid here whenever she wants to.
She left without paying and made her daughter take care of it.
I can't believe that woman.
For some reason, she looks very familiar.
(Our side dishes are made daily.)
(Sisters Side Dish)
Dealing with Auntie is stressful enough.
Even you're doing this now? What's going on?
Come on, Pa Ran. Help me out a little.
I'll pick up lots of side dishes for you as well.
It's not like you don't have a fridge.
Why is everyone keeping their side dishes in my fridge?
I thought it'd be better now without Auntie's side dishes.
Was Mother leaving her side dishes in your fridge?
Yes, and there's more.
She even made me...
go to your mother's store to pick up side dishes.
I see.
She should just eat out for lunch.
Why does she have to bring lunch to work every day?
We don't have enough room in our fridge.
Please understand just for the time being, okay?
Gosh, Mother! I'll do it. Just leave it.
There are only a few. I can wash them quickly.
Gosh, no. Come here.
My goodness.
- Sit here. - Okay.
Mother.
I left lots of side dishes in Pa Ran's fridge.
In Pa Ran's fridge? Why?
Every morning, you try not to wake us up...
when you're packing your lunch.
You don't need to worry about that anymore.
It'll be a lot easier to do it at Pa Ran's place.
Just like you've been doing.
Okay, sure.
What? Just like I've been doing?
Anyway, your co-worker must really like our side dishes.
Wait. Has she caught on?
Hold on.
What now? Starting tomorrow, Seok Gu will go to work with you.
What do you mean?
You eat your lunch with that co-worker of yours.
Every day.
Oh, that.
That's because I haven't made any friends at work yet.
He's just my lunch buddy.
We have lunch together. That's all.
And as for Seok Gu, he'll get his own lunch.
Really? Seok Gu will have lunch on his own?
I see.
Has she caught on?
What?
Hey, you'll have to eat lunch by yourself.
Why? We can't have lunch together?
If people at work find out that you're my son,
things will get uncomfortable for both of us.
You think so?
Yes, of course.
Then let's pretend we don't know each other at all.
We won't even go to work together. What do you say?
We'll go to work separately?
Yes. The moment we leave the house,
we're strangers. Okay?
Okay. Let's try to get along, like complete strangers.
- Stop! - You brat!
Darn it. I'm dead.
We're strangers now!
I love you.
Nonsense.
These fruits must be very expensive.
It melts in your mouth.
It's so good.
Where did you get these? You didn't buy them, did you?
- My boss gave them to me. - It's so good.
For free? Where do you work that your boss gave you these fruits?
I work at an attorney's office. His clients sent them as a gift...
Attorney?
I suppose you work at that attorney's office.
The side dish store owner's son, right?
Yes, I somehow got a job there.
That's great.
Use this as an opportunity to win his heart.
Whether he's seeing someone or not,
just go for it.
Mom.
Clearly, he's a better catch than Dong Ha.
His mother will be a handful,
but let me deal with her.
His older sister won't be an easy one to deal with either,
but I can handle her.
Oh, someone's calling.
Hello?
Yes, how did it go?
What... What did you say?
He's dead?
That jerk is dead?
(The All-Round Wife)
Don't tell me you expect me to wear this!
I'm worried Seok Gu would cause trouble.
Your uncle is like Iron Man.
You know what you have to put up with when you're poor.
I can't live like that.
To be honest, I have a lot on my mind.
I'm not sure if this is okay.
Can you come out for a moment if you're home now?
Where did you and Mom go?
It's a secret.
