(Episode 60)
Had that never happened,
we wouldn't have lost him like that.
He just wanted to start a big business,
but he ended up meeting that scumbag...
and got conned.
It's all in the past. It's pointless to bring it up now.
Jang Geum.
That con man who lured him into it.
I wonder if he can sleep peacefully at night.
Who knows?
Back then, one of his co-workers...
also fell victim to the fraud, right?
I remember him feeling so bad about that.
Let's stop talking about this, Poong Geum.
That's enough. Get ready for bed. It's bedtime.
I'm sorry.
His photo...
keeps reminding me of that time.
He's dead?
He can't just die.
I can't accept this!
Mom, you should just give up now.
Let's just focus on figuring out how you, Jun, and I...
can live a better life together.
Let's only think about that, okay?
Your dad died such an unfair death. Do you not even care?
Are you not angry?
Mom.
I can't live like that.
I'll find that jerk's family...
and do everything it takes to make them pay for his death.
Yes, no matter what.
Sun Hae, are you heading out now?
Yes. I'll see you in the evening, Bo Ri.
You should wait a little and head out with Kang Rim.
Hey, are you off to work? Let's go together.
Sure.
Hold on. I forgot something. Give me a second.
My gosh. You two seem so comfortable around each other now.
Sun Hae, did you manage to work things out with Kang Rim?
No, I dumped him.
What? You dumped him?
Things just happened that way.
So let's stop talking about it now.
Sun Hae.
Please, Bo Ri.
(Bangsoo Construction)
There you are.
So? What do you want me to do first?
Tally up the parking fees?
Tally up the fees?
Come on. You're just an assistant.
Here.
(Parking Attendant)
Goodness. Don't tell me you expect me to wear this!
Put it on at once and come with me.
Where are we going?
I thought I was working here.
I work here since I'm the parking manager.
You, as my assistant, will be working elsewhere.
Put that on and come with me!
Darn it.
"Assistant"?
Watch and learn, okay?
Look at this.
Look at this car.
It's parked over the line.
Call the car owner and tell them to park again properly.
I have to make those calls?
Gosh.
And this car is double-parked.
No one can park here because of this car,
so push it all the way over there.
What did you say?
The way people park...
reveals so much about their personalities. Goodness.
What are you waiting for? Push the car!
Whoever wants to park in that spot will do it.
Why do I have to push this car?
You'd better do it now.
Why don't you do it yourself?
A mere assistant is telling his boss who's much older than him...
to push the car himself?
That's just wrong.
(Parking Attendant)
Darn it. Fine. I'll do it.
Excuse me.
Could you help me move this car?
Yes, of course! Seok Gu, go help him.
One thing at a time! Darn it.
Help is on the way!
Move aside!
(Parking Attendant)
Does your license plate number end with 1390?
Please move your car.
Come down...
and park your car again, inside the lines.
Because of you, other cars can't park.
(Bangsoo Construction)
This is the entrance.
- You can't park here. - I'll be quick.
No, move your car at once.
(Parking Attendant)
Gosh, I'm exhausted.
(Bangsoo Construction)
- Oh, boy. - I'm exhausted.
Well done, Seok Gu.
I was working like a dog.
I can't believe you're enjoying your coffee out here.
My gosh. Is it lunchtime already?
I should buy you lunch.
(Parking Attendant)
Am I getting a corporate credit card?
No.
A meal ticket. You can use it at the cafeteria.
I'll give you one a day, at lunchtime.
Gosh, a meal ticket...
Forget it!
You don't want it?
- Fine! - Wait.
You're so petty.
(Parking Attendant)
You brat.
How's Seok Gu? Is he doing a good job?
Gosh, he doesn't need to worry about doing a good job.
Well, he is doing great.
I hope he's having a proper lunch.
I gave him a meal ticket which he can use at the cafeteria,
so don't worry too much.
My gosh, Brad.
You're a lot more thoughtful than I thought.
I didn't want our lunch break...
to be disturbed.
Anyway, you haven't given me your answer yet.
Answer for what?
Yesterday, I said it was our first day as a couple.
So? Is today officially our second day?
Just eat your lunch.
Ms. Seo, we'll be off then.
Okay. Good work, everyone.
Aren't you heading out too?
I'll leave soon. You guys should get going first.
So you won't be in the office tomorrow?
No. I'll have meetings all day at Bangsoo Construction.
Gosh, that makes me sad.
Cut it out.
I'll let everyone know you'll be out of the office. Good luck.
Okay. Thank you, Ro Mi.
- We'll get going, then. - Bye.
- Okay, get home safely.
- Let's go. - Okay.
What are you staring at? They're just shoes.
Hello, Mother. It's me.
Hi, Cho Hee.
What's up?
Can you come out for a moment if you're home now?
Don't tell Seok Gu.
Okay, sure.
Oh, boy.
Seok Gu, are you okay?
No, my whole body is aching.
Goodness. You're such a whiner.
I have to step out...
What is it? Are you going out?
No. I'm just stepping out to take out the compost.
- Don't get up. - Okay.
I'm in so much pain...
Hello!
Cho Hee.
- Mother. - Hey.
Seok Gu doesn't know that you came out to meet me, right?
That's right. I told him I had to take out the compost...
and sneaked out.
And he's not used to doing that kind of work,
so he's bedridden now. He can't even move.
Really? What's he going to do?
Don't worry. He'll get used to it in a couple of days.
By the way, why did you want to meet me here?
Oh, I want to buy a pair of shoes.
Shoes? For Professor Kang?
No, for your co-worker. The parking manager.
What?
Why would you buy him shoes?
His shoes looked very old and worn out.
Just tell him that it's a gift from you.
I'm grateful to him for taking such good care of you.
Right, that's true.
- Excuse me. - Yes.
Are you looking for something specific?
We'd like to get a pair of shoes for a gentleman.
I see.
How about this one?
This is the most popular one at the moment.
I see. It's nice. What do you think, Mother?
Gosh, I don't know.
Although I do think it'd look great on him.
Hold on. I don't know his shoe size though.
He and Seok Gu seem to be about the same height and size,
so why don't we get Seok Gu's size for now?
If it doesn't fit him, he can exchange it.
Right. Sounds like a plan.
- Here. - Thank you.
Pa Ran, can you hold onto this?
No, I don't want to.
Auntie, why do you keep all your stuff at my place?
Just for a short while.
Come on, Pa Ran. Just for a day.
What's this?
Did you buy new shoes?
What? Yes.
These look like a pair of men's shoes.
Stop fiddling with it. The bag will get all crinkled.
This must be for Seok Gu.
I heard he got a job. It must be a surprise gift for him.
Anyway, make sure you pick it up tomorrow morning.
I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
Did you really have to throw it on the couch like that?
Mother, are you worried about something?
You seem a little worried for some reason.
To be honest, I have a lot on my mind.
He's so good to me,
so I want to reciprocate his feelings.
But I'm not sure if this is okay, at this old age.
Why can't you do that at your age?
If it makes you happy, you should just accept it.
Maybe he's like a life's gift to you.
Gift?
That's right. A gift.
No matter what you decide,
I'll be on your side. Okay?
Thank you, Cho Hee.
Gosh, don't mention it.
Honey, did you have dinner?
Yes, I did.
Where did you and Mom go earlier?
What? Oh, it's a secret.
My goodness.
By the way, I heard Seok Gu is bedridden now.
He worked for the first time in a long while.
No wonder he's aching all over.
He used to do nothing all day, you know.
I'm worried Seok Gu would cause trouble.
Gosh, you can put your worries to rest.
The man he works with is such a wonderful person.
Seok Gu won't cause trouble while working under him.
How do you know that?
I met him briefly when I had a meeting...
at Bangsoo Construction the other day.
Anyway, I can guarantee you.
You don't need to worry about Seok Gu anymore.
I really hope that is the case.
By the way, honey.
Do we have any pain relief patches?
Gosh, my back...
My goodness.
Uncle Seok Gu, are you in a lot of pain?
No, Ri An. I'm fine.
I guess you don't know how strong I am.
Your uncle is like Iron Man.
This is nothing.
But you seem to be in a lot of pain.
Don't worry about anything, Ri An.
Just think about what you want.
When I get my first paycheck,
I'll buy you a gift first.
Really?
Yes, of course.
- Thank you, Uncle Seok Gu. - No problem.
What about me?
Mom, you and I will get paid on the same day.
Gosh, you brat.
Why did I bother having seaweed soup after giving birth to you?
Did you have to hit me in the sore spot?
Seok Gu.
Are you all right?
Gosh, don't even ask.
He keeps groaning in pain. It's making me sick.
Put on a pain relief patch and put this bag over it.
It'll help.
Seok Gu, Cho Hee is the only one who's worried about you.
Thank you, Cho Hee.
Get some rest.
Let's go, Ri An.
Okay, Mom.
Oh, boy.
Gosh.
Don't you wish your wife was here to look after you?
Where is it? Where does it hurt the most?
Right here, where you hit me earlier.
Here? Or here?
It hurts. Be gentle.
When you get paid, get something nice for Cho Hee...
and make up with her. Okay?
Okay, I will.
That feels nice.
- There. - My gosh, that's nice.
(Celebrating Bangsoo Construction's 35-year Anniversary)
This looks great. Very nice!
My gosh, it's so nice.
Mom, what's this towel for?
Hush, Sa Rang.
You'll wake up Grandpa.
Grandpa can't know about this yet, so let's keep it down.
- Okay, hush. - Hush.
Honey, how did you come up with such a brilliant idea? My gosh!
Aren't you proud of me?
Of course. If I could, I'd carry you everywhere I go.
Mom, can I get one too?
I want to give one to Ri An.
Sa Rang, why would you give this to Ri An?
Why not? We'll give it out as a gift anyway.
It'll help promote the company anyway.
Right, the promotion contract.
There's no way Cho Hee's company got the contract, right?
Who cares?
As long as the job gets done, right?
I care.
Can you find out?
Goodness. You're at it again.
I wondered why you were so quiet for a while.
Why? What did I do?
Well understood, ma'am. I'll do as you say.
I should have Mr. Park take these to the office tomorrow, right?
Are you crazy? Why would you have Mr. Park do it?
I should drop them off and make sure Father sees it.
You'll go there yourself?
You just watch.
I'll show you how I can totally win Father over.
Honey.
- This looks perfect. - Yes, it does look awesome.
You should stay with us a few more days, Sun Hae.
The renovation will be finished tomorrow anyway.
It must've been uncomfortable to share a room...
with your mom and aunt.
A little.
But I'm so sad that you're leaving.
Why are you sad?
It's not like I'll never visit you again.
You know what? We should have a party today.
A party?
Yes, a party!
Here, Sun Hae. Cheers.
Okay, cheers.
Kang Rim, Mom, Auntie Poong Geum. Cheers!
Cheers to what?
Well, let me think.
It's for Sun Hae.
All right. Here's to Choi Sun Hae! Cheers!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Come on, Jang Geum. - Oh, sorry.
- Raise your glass. - Okay, cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
I'm sad to be leaving.
I really loved...
eating your home-cooked breakfast every morning before going to work.
I know. This is your last night here with us,
so I'm sad too.
Sun Hae, I packed some side dishes for you.
Make sure you take them.
Really? Thank you, Auntie Poong Geum.
Visit us whenever you're craving our home-cooked meals.
Okay?
Don't only visit us when I call you.
Okay.
Sun Hae, are you crying?
Sun Hae.
It's not because of you, Kang Rim.
Ms. Oh, your kind words...
remind me so much of my late mother.
Sun Hae.
Ms. Oh.
I'll visit you more often from now on.
Yes, please do. Just think that this is your family home.
And feel free to visit us as often as you want to.
Yes. You can use my room whenever you want to.
Thanks, Bo Ri.
- Jang Geum. - Yes?
Let's clink glasses.
- Just the two of us! Cheers. - Okay, cheers.
- Here, cheers. - Cheers.
- Here. - All right.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Mom, pull yourself together and eat some breakfast.
It's not like he can return from the dead...
and pay off Dad's debt.
And you won't be able to find the con man's family.
So give up already. Okay?
You're making me more upset, so stop nagging me...
and see if you can pick up another job to earn more money.
Don't be picky. Accept whatever job that comes your way.
Mom.
You know what you have to put up with when you're poor.
No. I'm done accepting any job offer that comes my way.
What?
I won't live like that anymore.
From your living expenses to Jun's hospital bills,
I was drowning in debt,
so I was willing to do anything for money.
But I really regret it now.
I'm too ashamed to face Jun.
I don't appreciate the way you put it.
Are you saying it was my fault that you had to do things...
that you didn't want to do and that you regret it now?
I'm speechless.
And you want to be able to face Jun without feeling ashamed?
That's right.
You said you don't regret giving birth to Jun.
You don't regret your decision,
but you don't want to take responsibility. Am I wrong?
What do you mean, Mom?
You said you'd take responsibility,
but you just left him with me and completely neglected him.
You should've raised him yourself!
I had to earn money.
That's why I asked you to take care of Jun.
And I sent you money for your living expenses.
We needed money right away.
How was I supposed to raise Jun...
on top of my part-time jobs and school?
This is why I say that you're selfish.
If I were you, I'd drop out of school...
and find a better-paying job.
I need a good job to raise Jun well.
And to do that, I need a college degree!
Is that so?
So you did it for Jun's sake?
It wasn't a choice you made for your own sake?
You're so well-spoken now that you're in college.
What's this?
What do you think? It's a gift to celebrate our third day.
Ms. Na.
Try them on.
You'll have to exchange them if they don't fit you.
My gosh.
They fit perfectly.
Then you should wear them from now on.
Throw out your old shoes.
There's nothing wrong with my shoes.
I could wear them for 20 more years.
You can wear these shoes I gave you...
for 20 years.
Thank you, Ms. Na.
I'll buy you another pair 20 years from now.
In 20 years from now?
We'd be dead by then.
No, why would we be dead in 20 years?
We're still young.
Are we?
My, these shoes feel so sturdy. Very nice.
I feel like I could fly in them.
Don't be silly.
That hurt.
My, this is our building!
Just seeing it makes me feel full.
I'm so proud.
- It's all yours. - That's right.
Come on. Go get the stuff.
Do I really have to carry that?
Then what? Should we get someone else to carry them for us?
Then Father will yell at you again.
Fine, I'll do it.
Put it on top of this.
All right.
(Neulpureun Bank)
Here.
Mother.
Hey, Cho Hee. Is the meeting over now?
No, we're just taking a short break.
I guess your daughter-in-law is here again for work.
Yes. Hello, sir.
Hello.
Ms. Na, your break is over,
so you should get back to work.
I have to go too.
The shoes must've made him happy.
Right, yes.
And they fit perfectly.
- Really? - Yes.
That's great, Mother!
Seo Cho Hee?
Hey, what are you doing here?
That woman is...
No Won Ju?
(The All-Round Wife)
I wanted to see you to ask you about this.
- No one can find out, including me. - Kang Rim.
What do you even know about my father-in-law?
Chairman Bang, the man who you were looking for,
is this woman's father-in-law?
I've never even met your father-in-law.
You were talking to him earlier in the day.
I saw it with my own two eyes.
