(Episode 26)
My, look at this.
It's beautiful.
Let me put it around your neck, Ms. Kim.
Pardon? Oh, that's okay, Ms. Cha.
Give it to me.
All right. Here we go.
I wonder if I'll look good in it.
There. Let me look at you.
Gosh. You look great in it.
It's perfect for you.
Do you really think so, Ms. Cha?
It wasn't a flummery.
I'll cherish this necklace that you gave me...
for a long time... No. I mean, for the rest of my life.
I promise you.
Is someone here?
- Yes, Father. You're up. - Yes.
Hello, Chairman Jang.
Who might you be?
She's Ms. Kim Hae Mi.
Oh, right. Kyung Jun's friend.
I asked her to stop by after work...
to give her something.
I heard you two chatting, so I came out.
I'm very happy to see you again.
Likewise, Chairman Jang.
But it's getting late. I should go now.
All right. Where is Kyung Jun?
It looks like he'll be late.
Oh, no. How come he's not home whenever she comes?
I see him every day at work. It's okay, sir.
Then... Right. Good night.
You want me to go back to sleep when I just woke up?
But it's night now...
Oh, boy.
I'll get going.
- I'll see her off, Father. - Okay.
Dad, you're up.
Yes.
I wish...
you had had a daughter too.
Pardon me?
- Hey. - Kyung Jun.
What brings you to my house at this hour?
Are you just getting back?
- Yes. - Perfect timing.
You should drive her home, Kyung Jun.
- Where's your car? - She rode along in my car.
She left her car at the office.
Let's go. I'll give you a ride.
I'll get going, Ms. Cha.
Ask him to take you for a drive.
Kyung Jun.
Take me for a drive.
I'm driving you home. Think of it as a drive.
But why did you come to my house?
I didn't come to see you.
Ms. Cha invited me.
Kyung Jun, I received...
such a special gift from Ms. Cha.
- Guess what she gave me. - What did she give you?
If you want to know,
decide when you'll take me out on the remaining two dates.
Or we could have a cup of coffee on our way.
Hey, having coffee before bed will keep you from growing taller.
Kyung Jun, when we were in the US,
you liked... Philz Coffee's mint mojito coffee?
You were crazy about it.
On weekends,
we went all the way from New York to Washington just for that. Gosh.
Besides, I really don't like mint.
I hate it. I put up with it just for you.
- I put up with something for you. - What was it?
I went to Bloomingdale's a million times because of you.
I bet I went to a department store more than any other men do.
Oh, except for those who work there.
Kyung Jun.
You should know that I helped you improve your fashion style.
Until you met me, you only dressed in black.
You looked like the Grim Reaper.
I don't know about my fashion style,
but my arms got stronger for sure...
because I carried all the things you bought.
Gosh.
Mommy, I'm home.
Oh, is my daughter home? My dear daughter, is that you?
- Hey, welcome home. - Oh, gosh.
Hey, do you know what your dad said to me today?
Mom, haven't you and Dad made up yet?
Why are you so late?
You should've let us know you'd be late...
so that we didn't have to worry.
Yes, Dad.
But Dad, you shouldn't make Mom sleep on the sofa, don't you think?
I didn't tell her to do so.
That egoist.
By the way, I wonder why you're in such a good mood.
Mom.
Vice President Cha invited me to her house...
and gave me a gift.
A gift? What is it?
Ta-da.
Oh, my.
I can tell it's very expensive at a glance.
It was the first gift she had received from her husband...
before they got married.
She said she wanted me to have it because she thought...
I might become part of her family.
That's amazing.
That means she wants you to be her daughter-in-law.
You think so too, right?
Was Kyung Jun there too?
No, he wasn't home because of work.
But he came home when I was leaving.
So he drove me home.
My goodness. Why didn't you bring him home...
and give him a cup of tea?
There's so much tension in the air...
because of you and Dad. It's not something to show off.
Right. Your dad can't hide his emotions unlike me.
Anyway, I'm so happy for you.
All the hard work I did to raise you surely paid off.
Aren't you glad you had me?
Of course. There's no need to say.
Hey, can I sleep with you tonight?
Well... Sure. Fine by me.
Hae Mi, what did you two talk about in his car?
Well, we just talked about the days in the US.
So in the US, you two went shopping together,
went to a cafe to have coffee,
and went to a department store?
Yes, just as I said.
Oh, my. He was practically your boyfriend.
Right?
I wish I had had a son.
I wonder if the night shift went well.
My, she must be super tired.
Ms. Lee, was everything okay at the store through the night?
You told me not to worry about you and to go home,
so I came home, but...
Kyung Jun, come down for breakfast.
Okay.
When I drink this...
after studying all night long while watching the sunrise,
I feel so refreshed.
When I drink this...
after studying all night long while watching the sunrise,
I feel so refreshed.
I can't believe he said the exact same words.
Do Jin, you find it hard to believe too, right?
What's hard to believe?
Well... Nothing.
Are you making breakfast? Where's Mother?
Don't get me started. Mom is protesting, which won't work.
She's on a hunger strike.
What?
She hasn't gotten out of bed since last night.
Why?
Is it because of the 100,000 dollars she received?
Yes. Last night, Grandma told Mom,
"Why hasn't Do Sik moved out of his apartment?"
"I told you to get the deposit back right away."
They argued again.
Mom said, "I won't ever give the money back, Mother."
Grandma said, "Tell him to move back in with us."
"And give him enough money to study at a studying dormitory."
Then Mom said,
"I'll let him live there until his exam."
"I'll never let him move out."
Mom is just being stubborn.
I think that Grandma is right.
Even so, don't be hard on her.
I know. I do understand how Mom feels.
She's trying to help her child...
by cleaning up his mess.
Yeong I, there's something I've never understood since I was little.
What is it?
Why do old women always wear a white headband when protesting?
I don't know that either.
"Hey, everyone." To draw attention?
"Look at me." Like this?
Let's just prepare breakfast.
Mom.
Grandma said she wouldn't have breakfast.
(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)
Well...
Mom, I'm sorry...
that my foolish child made you worry.
Don't call him foolish.
He's my grandson.
Yes, Mom.
Chang Il.
I don't know how long the queen of our family...
will keep refusing to eat while staying in bed like that...
Leave her be. I'm upset with her too.
Do you mean that?
I would never lie to you.
Tell Do Sik to move out of his apartment...
and come home.
Okay. I'll do that.
I was going to enjoy oversleeping since it's the weekend.
You see, Yeong I,
I'll make sure to marry a man who won't let me do house chores.
Good. Make sure to do that.
Honestly, I don't like house chores either.
Really?
But you're great at house chores. You're an all-rounder.
Hey, I didn't want to become great at it.
I naturally improved because I had to do all the work.
Why are you raising your voices first thing in the morning?
Are you two arguing?
No, Grandmother. Breakfast is ready.
Okay. Do Young, set the table.
Yeong I, let's talk in my room.
Me?
You do it.
I don't think this is right.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Why don't you just accept this as I said? Come on.
You sacrificed your sleep and health...
to earn that money.
Of course, I want to get my money back.
But...
I'm going to get it back from Do Sik.
He's the one who lost the money,
so he should be the one to repay me the money.
I guess you do hate him for what he did...
seeing that you address him...
as your friend, not as your brother-in-law.
You're right.
All right. Call him whatever you want.
Do Sik, that brat. I hate him.
Grandmother, when Father's business went bankrupt,
you shouldered all of his debt.
And we're a big family.
You've been supporting all of us by running your restaurant.
Please consider it accepted.
I'm truly grateful.
It comforted me greatly.
Yeong I.
Let me ask you one thing.
- Yes. - Do you...
trust Do Sik?
Do you believe...
that he will repay you the money one day?
- No, I don't. - Then why didn't you accept it?
I...
believe in my heart.
My heart that tells me...
I can start over again whatever hardships I may face.
Right.
You sure are...
Ms. Buyeo's granddaughter.
I heard about the promise you and my grandma made...
when you two moved to Seoul from Seosan together.
Yes, we made a promise.
I said, "Hey,"
"what if our business fails..."
"when we came all the way to Seoul?" Then she said,
"My gosh. Bok Hee."
"If our business fails,"
"we'll just start a new business."
"Also,"
"if you don't think you can believe in your heart,"
"believe in my heart instead and rely on me from now on."
That's what she said.
Right.
Yeong I.
Thank you.
And I'm so proud of you for having such a great mindset.
And one more thing. Always...
be careful with fire.
Right. Yes, Grandmother.
Won't you get up?
Honey.
You told me not to call you "honey."
Do you even consider me your wife?
- Oh Eun Sook. - Save it.
Go out and eat as much food as you want.
And keep siding with your mother.
Are you sure you won't eat?
I hate the sight of it. Take that headband off.
- Stop it. What are you doing? - Gosh.
It took me a lot of effort to tie it. I'll fight!
My gosh. Fine. Go ahead and fight all you want.
Oh, dear.
You brat.
Mom, what is it this time?
I'm so sleepy.
You don't even care if I starve to death, do you?
Why? Are you on a diet?
Hey!
Son, have you been studying hard?
Have you been taking your classes?
Yes, I've been studying hard.
- I've been taking my classes too. - Good.
You're the only one I can trust in this situation.
I'm counting on you, okay?
Gosh, seriously.
Never tell anyone, okay?
At the interview at the company named Baro Flowers or something,
you didn't get the job because you said you had a child.
You don't have to reveal that now.
But still, it doesn't feel right.
Just do as I say.
Don't tell anyone unless someone asks you.
Don't tell anyone, okay? Never.
Got it?
Got it.
By the way, when will you meet your supervisor Dan Chu?
Shall I tag along with you if you can't go by yourself?
Don't worry. Do Sik will go with me.
It seems like...
you and Do Sik have become best friends.
I'm a little jealous.
Best friends, my foot. Do you want to get beaten up?
I'm sorry.
By the way, Eun Jin...
Never mind.
What is it? Why won't you finish what you were saying?
Well...
There's this person...
who said the same thing that Do Jin once said.
And this person likes the same beverage as Do Jin.
You mean, the pine needle tea?
Yes.
What kind of man is he?
Hey, is he your work colleague?
What? Well, yes.
But I didn't say he was a man.
Come on. You're so naive.
Gosh. Anyway, it's so hard to believe.
Do you think so too?
That's not what I mean.
It's hard for me to believe...
that you're talking about a man who's not Do Jin.
I've never seen you talking about any other men but him.
Here. Mi Ri Nae, have some fruit.
Son, when will I hold my grandchild in my arms?
What? I just opened up my clinic, Mom.
You said, after graduating from med school...
and then, after finishing your residency.
Now, you're using your clinic as an excuse?
I'm not going to live forever.
Aren't you seeing anybody?
No.
Anyone you're interested in?
Mi Ri Nae, do you want to go to a bookstore with me?
Yes. Sounds great.
Granny, go with us.
Okay.
Teenagers prefer soda drinks as expected.
Women in their 20s prefer fruit juice and dairy beverages.
That's not what I mean.
It's hard for me to believe...
that you're talking about a man who's not Do Jin.
I've never seen you talking about any other men but him.
A man?
Sorry?
Nothing. Never mind.
Gosh. You were miles away.
I guess you don't want to win 10,000 dollars anymore.
I didn't say that.
You should learn how to make a PowerPoint presentation.
I'll teach you after work...
That's okay.
A guy I know who lives in my neighborhood will teach me.
Oh, I see. There's a guy you know?
Then is he the one who has been teaching you computer skills?
Yes.
About this guy you know...
Do you know him well?
Yes, I do. I've known him for a very long time.
Don't slack off when he teaches you.
Master computer skills as soon as possible.
We're running out of time. You know that, don't you?
All right. I heard you.
Here you go. Have some snacks.
I bought coffee and snacks to cheer you guys up.
Thank you, Mr. Heo.
He used the team funds to buy that.
They might think he bought it with his own money.
- What? - Haven't you picked your item yet?
All the other teams seem to have made their decisions.
We know we should hurry up.
Oh, boy. This is driving me crazy.
What's wrong?
Did we do something wrong, Ms. Kim?
Stop what you're doing for now and wait.
Hello? Is this the HR team?
This is Kim Hae Mi, the food product development manager.
The interns on our team didn't get the reference book for the interns.
What's the reason?
What did you say?
I understand for now.
Ms. Im and Se Hee.
- Yes, Ms. Kim. - Yes, Ms. Kim.
Didn't you check your messenger?
Was I the only person who saw the other interns...
with the reference book at the cafe earlier?
I just heard that the HR team posted an announcement...
to tell everyone to pick it up a few days ago.
But you haven't checked that?
- I'm sorry, ma'am. - I'm sorry, ma'am.
They wasted a few days. What are you going to do about it?
Can't you get things done properly?
What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring it.
Yes, ma'am.
Hello.
I guess the interns get a reference book starting this year.
It looks like you two didn't get it because of their mistake.
Thinking that their hard work went down the drain,
I got very upset.
I'm sorry for raising my voice, Director Jang.
It's a bit late, but start using the reference book now.
Let me know if you need any other materials.
I see.
Thank you.
Come in.
Hey.
Hi, honey.
You look happy, honey.
What is it?
They say that money can't buy time.
The saying crossed my mind suddenly.
Did you get a face-lift?
You look five years younger now.
My goodness, you silly.
I have no time for that.
You know how busy I am. Gosh.
- Hey. - Hi.
Did you want to see me?
You're here too, sir.
I'm here to have some tea with her. What about you?
Honey, you haven't read the article yet, have you?
One of our competitors...
launched bundle products at their convenience stores...
at a price as low as at supermarkets and increased the sales.
They beat us in sales.
What's the item?
Instant rice.
Director Jang.
Why can't you plan an aggressive strategy like that?
It's the same for the sales of our lunchboxes.
Are you planning to let it...
keep going down until the first half of next year?
Vice President Cha, our sales will go up...
when we launch a new product. Wouldn't you agree?
I'll come up with a plan to increase the sales before that.
May I leave now?
Do your job properly, will you?
And try not to show your superior that you're upset, okay?
Come on. Don't put so much pressure on our son.
I didn't give our son an order.
I gave the director an order.
I've been able to live with you because you're my wife.
If you were my superior, I could never survive for a single day.
Why would you push him so hard?
Why else?
I'll make him stronger so he can become the chairman.
Hey, Kyung Jun.
What's up?
Hey, are you feeling unwell?
I'm fine. It's nothing serious.
Did you get the reference book?
Yes.
You see, Ms. Lee and I will be fine.
So don't be too hard on Ms. Kim regarding the reference book.
I came to tell you this.
What?
Did you come here because you were worried...
I might give her an earful?
It's suspicious.
Are you sure you two are just friends?
I shouldn't have come.
I'm off.
I thought so.
Oh, my. Mr. 10,000 Dollars.
I mean...
What we found out from the survey is in this book as well.
It's a little discouraging.
Don't be discouraged.
The fact that it's similar to our analysis...
means that we did a good job.
You're super optimistic. I'm jealous.
Cheer up, Mr. 10,000 Dollars.
I felt discouraged too earlier.
But to be honest, had it not been for Ms. Kim,
we could've wasted a few more days.
I'll read it thoroughly at home.
Aren't you guys going home?
Oh, the computer lesson.
I'll get going now.
Kyung Jun, shall we have dinner together?
How about tomorrow?
Sure.
Really? It's a date, then.
Yes. You pick the place.
Thank you for helping us get the reference book.
Oh, gosh.
I'll get going.
Bye.
Yes!
How much is this?
It's five dollars.
Oh, I see.
I'll come back another time.
Ms. Lee.
Mr. Jang.
You left hurriedly for your computer lesson.
Right. I'm leaving now.
Don't you want to buy that?
Why didn't you buy it? Just buy it.
No, I don't want it.
I said I didn't want it.
Here.
Hey. You don't have to do this.
Oh, my.
You said it was five dollars, right?
You really don't have to do this.
I'm giving you this to cheer you up as your work colleague.
So don't feel burdened.
If you say so.
Thank you.
It's pretty.
Oh, and this.
This is yours. You left it in the staff lounge.
Thank you for this as well.
Put it on. I'm sure you'll look great.
Right. Okay.
I'll try it on at home.
Put it on now. Give it to me.
How do I look? Do I look okay?
(The Love in Your Eyes)
You asked him out on a date too?
Are you sure that Kyung Jun is interested in you?
I know him well.
He wouldn't even speak to people he's not comfortable with.
This isn't fair.
Why don't you think of us at all?
Eun Sook.
About Do Sik's apartment... I gave the notice to end the lease.
Must you do that?
(Subtitles are provided by KOCOWA.)
