(Episode 41)
I hate it when you cry.
It breaks my heart.
What are you talking about?
When you smile at me,
I feel happy.
It makes me smile too.
Would you call this a pity?
What... Mr. Jang.
This is affection.
Yes.
I...
fell for you.
Do you want me to say it again?
I do what I do for you...
because I like you, not because I pity you.
Hold on, Mr. Jang.
Because I like you,
I worry about you.
I want to give you nice things and help you.
And when I'm with you,
I want to make you smile.
Is this enough...
to explain my behaviors?
Hold on a second, Mr. Jang.
You see, until now,
I've only thought of you as a good work colleague.
Do you mean that?
What do you mean?
You're not a good liar.
Are you sure you've never had...
romantic feelings for me for a single moment?
That's not important.
I'm flustered by what you just said.
Why are you being like this suddenly?
It may seem like a sudden change to you,
but my feelings have developed over quite a long time.
You see,
you getting the wrong idea about my feelings...
upsets me the most.
That's why...
I confessed my feelings for you.
Anyway, I told you honestly how I felt about you.
Good. That feels great.
Is everything okay now that you feel better?
It's better than both of us feeling frustrated.
Also, now that you know how I feel,
why don't you start thinking of me more than a friend?
Try as hard as you can.
No.
I don't think that could happen.
You can never be sure when it comes to a relationship.
Don't be assured.
I'm sorry. I should go.
See you tomorrow, Ms. Lee.
Good night.
My gosh.
I felt like my heart was going to explode.
Hey, Yeong I.
You startled me.
Why are you so startled? Did you do something wrong?
You're the one who did a wrong thing, Mr. Debtor.
I signed a written pledge in front of everyone.
I promised to repay you. Are we good now?
Why are you following me?
Aren't you going to see Eun Jin?
I want to hang out with her too.
Stay at home. I'll have a girl talk with her.
Wait. If they'll have a girl talk...
Wouldn't that be about a guy?
How could you do that...
without discussing it with us?
I was dumbfounded when Mom told me about it.
There was the incident regarding your supervisor,
and you got sick. So I understand.
But you could've taken a leave of absence.
Is work a joke to you?
It's not a joke to me.
So I thought long and hard before quitting.
Do you think you or Mom could've thought harder than I did?
It's my life, you know.
Don't worry. I'll take responsibility for my decision.
Let me figure out my own life.
I have taken good care of myself until now.
I mean, it's one of the most desired jobs.
And she worked so hard to get the position of purser.
What's the point of having a job that others want to have...
and being a purser?
When I can't even breathe?
Eun Jin.
Hey, Yeong I.
Hi, Yeong I.
Hello, Ms. An. I see you got off work early.
Yes. I wanted to talk to Eun Jin since I heard she had quit her job.
I was upset, so I was giving her an earful.
Oh, I see. Then I'll come back later.
That's okay. You don't need to be on pins and needles like that.
Mom, she can stay, right?
Goodness, you.
Stay and have a chat with her, Yeong I.
Okay.
Let's go.
I wonder if Yeong I had dinner.
Get some rest, Mom. I'll give her some snacks.
What? Mr. Jang told you that he had feelings for you?
He stopped you when you were leaving the office to say that?
Quiet down. They could hear you from outside.
My gosh.
When I felt the tension between him and Eun Ho at Versailles,
I thought it might be the case though.
Oh, my. He's straightforward.
So? What did you say to him?
It's obvious.
I said I only thought of him as my colleague.
That's a lie, isn't it?
What?
Be honest. You said you couldn't stop thinking of him.
That's because he kept saying the same things Do Jin said.
I doubt that it was the only reason.
Then why else?
When Mr. Jang confessed his feelings for you, did you say,
"What's wrong with you? I have a child."
You didn't, did you?
You couldn't say that to him, right?
Listen, my dear friend.
I'm not saying this to make you feel bad about it.
I just want to point out that the fact...
that you hesitated to say that could be a sign...
that you have feelings for him too.
But even if I have feelings for him...
There's no way.
Why? Because you have a child?
Is a single mom not allowed to date a man who's never been married?
That's one of the reasons.
But on top of that...
I told you that my uncle-in-law's daughter is my manager at work.
Yes. I remember that.
She said...
that she and Mr. Jang...
had been in a relationship since they were in the US.
She even visited Mr. Jang's parents to introduce herself too.
She asked me not to tell anyone, so no one else knows.
What? And Mr. Jang told you that he had feelings for you?
What's wrong with him?
I don't know what's going on.
He asked Yeong I out...
when he has a girlfriend?
Hey, are you just getting back?
Yes.
Your grandfather went out to have dinner.
Kyung Jun, can I talk to you for a minute?
Please go ahead.
- Kyung Jun. - Yes.
You're aware that you're not from an ordinary family, right?
What do you mean by that?
I'm saying that as a member of the TS Retail family,
you shouldn't date anybody.
Your dad and I...
that Ms. Kim is a good match for you.
I told you she was just a friend from the get go.
She saved your life in the US.
And you've been close friends with her for the past three years.
Mother.
I'm not telling you to marry her right now.
So give it some serious thought.
I'm telling you this for your own sake.
Kyung Jun.
You won't settle for that position, will you?
What kind of ruse are you cooking up this time?
Ms. Kim is the one who can help you.
As your partner and your wife, she's impeccable.
If you're done, I'll go upstairs.
I know you're not a thoughtless person.
So I'll believe that you'll bear what I said in mind.
Good night.
Hey. You came home early.
There should be some days like this.
I'm going to have some beer. Do you want to drink with me?
I'm desperate for it.
Hurry up and bring beer.
Sounds great. I'll be right back.
Wait, Se Jun. You said...
you were interested in Ms. Lee Yeong I.
Did you mean that?
Oh, gosh. Looking at your face, I feel like I should say no...
even if I did mean what I said.
I decided to be her friend.
Did something happen? Do I need your permission now?
Not yet.
I told you to sort things out, and you did so right away.
When you told her how you felt, what did Ms. Lee say?
She ran.
She must've been surprised.
Of course, she ran. You stopped her on the street...
and said you had feelings for her.
I had no choice.
I felt a sudden surge of emotion at that moment.
Oh, my. Finally, my dear brother...
- What? - fell in love for the first time.
Stop teasing me, you brat.
I didn't mean to say that to her. I'm serious.
I'm not teasing you.
You see,
I loved Ja Young so much.
You know that, right?
Yes, I know.
Since I was little, she was the only one for me.
She meant the world to me.
I loved her...
so much that I could sacrifice my life for her.
But I lost to Mom.
The sense of loss that I felt...
was unbearable.
My heart is still aching.
So you have no intention of dating anyone else?
Well... I don't know.
I wonder if anyone else can love me just as I am like Ja Young did.
And...
I wonder if there's anyone...
in the whole universe who can handle Mom.
Well, I guess someone like Ms. Kim might be able to do that.
Hae Mi?
Mother pressured me to go out with her.
Kyung Jun.
If your feelings for Ms. Lee are genuine,
you should stay strong...
and keep her safe.
It won't be easy though.
I'll be rooting for you, brother.
Cheers.
I should get it together.
He's a playboy, and I'm a single mom.
But why is my heart fluttering?
(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)
Gosh. Do Sik, that brat. He left his backpack lying around.
Goodness. He even left it open.
What's this?
Oh, it's a report card.
(November Mock Exam)
(October Mock Exam)
His scores in the mock exams...
(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)
My gosh. His grades are so bad.
I'm sure that the maximum score is 100 points, not 50 points.
Wait.
Oh, no. My goodness.
What are you looking at? Why are you shaking?
Oh, it's nothing, Mom.
Why is Do Sik's backpack here?
Oh, this? He left it in the room.
I'll go and drop this off at home.
They say that one's behavior says a lot about the person.
I'm pretty sure that he won't pull it off.
Oh, right. Are you free this weekend?
I shouldn't dress shabbily to the wedding.
Yeong I, can I borrow your outfit?
The one that Eun Jin bought for you.
All right.
Father.
Sit down, you guys.
You know... Well...
Listen, you guys.
Well...
It's about my friend's son.
He's studying to get into med school just like Do Sik.
So?
But in every mock exam, he got...
Out of 100 points,
he got less than 25 points, apparently.
Oh, okay. So...
you're talking about your friend's son, right?
Yes.
Come on, Dad.
Yes?
What Yeong I and I want to say is...
Yeong I, do you want to say it?
No, you do it.
There's no way Do Sik can pass the exam.
What? Does that mean you two...
Did you guys know about it?
You too, Yeong I?
Yes.
There's no hope, Father.
Oh, no.
About the idea of braille labels...
that the winning team of the competition suggested...
Yes, Father.
Launch the product as soon as possible...
and analyze how people react.
If we get positive feedback,
add braille onto all of our PB products.
It's a great idea, but it lacks marketability.
It costs too much to begin with.
CEO Jang.
Yes.
Now is the right time for investing money.
It's not the time to focus on sales.
It's a great opportunity for us...
to make consumers buy our products just because of our reputation.
Consumers these days are not stupid.
They're like psychics.
You're right, Father.
People find out which companies do good deeds and buy their products.
I understand, Dad. We'll push forward with the plan.
Kyung Jun, I'll become busy thanks to you.
Being busy is a good thing for a businessman.
I'm planning to focus on my work for the time being.
I have a long way to go to catch up with Se Jun.
Come on. You won the competition. You'll catch up with me soon.
Go easy on me, will you?
If a business owner...
is blinded by greed for a good title,
even his brother...
becomes the biggest threat eventually.
Kyung Jun and Se Jun, remain as you are.
Even if someone keeps...
trying to break you two up,
as long as your brotherly bond is strong,
no one would be able to destroy the relationship between you two.
Kyung Jun.
This is a scarf that I knitted.
It's not great, but I'd like to donate it for the charity event.
Oh, my. It's pretty.
Thank you.
Ms. An, you're good at everything. You're good at cooking and knitting.
Have a good day.
Kyung Jun.
Yes, Grandpa.
Well... I think...
that I'll need something to keep my neck warm this winter.
- Pardon? - Didn't you hear me?
I think I'll need something to keep my neck warm.
Oh, I get it. Okay, Grandpa. We'll pay a handsome amount for it.
Let's get going, Kyung Jun.
- We'll get going, Grandpa. - All right.
Why are you so surprised?
What?
It's just that I didn't know you were standing there.
Hi.
Can I have it?
Thank you.
It smells good.
Hello.
Good morning.
Good morning, Ms. Kim.
Good morning, Ms. Lee.
Good morning.
Where are you going, Yeong I?
Director Jang told me to come to his office.
Why is he asking for you?
I have no idea.
Did you want to see me, sir?
Ms. Lee, come on in.
Why did you ask for me, sir?
Starting today, you're in charge of these plants.
Check on them when you come in and leave for the day every day.
- Pardon? - The plants are an excuse.
We promised to be each others' bamboo grove, remember?
Let's change our rendezvous point to my office.
Because it's cold outside, and people may see us.
Isn't it a good idea?
I didn't know you were so serious about it.
Then did you think I was joking around with you?
I have better things to do, you know.
Since you're here, have a seat.
Yes, sir.
How did you feel yesterday?
Did you sleep peacefully all night long?
It's not something that happened yesterday.
There's a knucklehead in my family whose grades are really bad.
What?
Everyone else in the family knows that...
except for Mother. She has no clue.
That worries me so much.
Is that what worries you most right now?
Yes.
Really?
Yes. Why?
Never mind.
Poor Kyung Jun.
Ms. Kim.
I have a favor to ask of you.
A favor? Go ahead and tell me.
I have to take care of something personal.
Can I step out briefly?
Sure. Take your time and come back when you're done.
Thank you.
Wait, Yeong I.
Why did Director Jang call you into his office?
Oh, that. He got a few plants.
He told me to take care of them.
He asked specifically for you...
to give you such a trivial task?
You're really something...
seeing that you make every man fall for you with obvious moves.
What do you mean by that?
You pick only tenderhearted men...
like Kyung Jun or Director Jang.
You act pitiful in front of them to get what you want.
You need talent to make that work.
But I'm not good at it.
I didn't do anything to Director Jang.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm just jealous.
You can call that an ability in a sense.
You said you had to step out.
Go on now.
I'll be back shortly.
Wasn't Kyung Jun enough for her? She even seduced his brother too?
How dare she try to take my place?
Hae Mi.
Is that how you treated her all this time?
I even asked you a favor.
Why would you mistreat her like that?
How could you hurt her feelings and say mean things to her?
You're not that kind of person.
Kyung Jun.
I simply said what I saw and heard as her supervisor.
I mean, was what I said wrong?
Both you and Director Jang are so protective of her.
People will gossip about her for sure.
Was it wrong of me to advise her to behave herself properly?
Are you sure that it was the only reason?
I heard you telling her that we're friends.
Are you sure you simply gave her advice...
as her supervisor?
You're in no position to say that. You siding with her like this...
Can you say that you're doing it as her colleague?
No.
- What? - I'm not doing it as her colleague.
I...
have feelings for her.
Finally, you admitted that.
It's been a long time since I noticed that.
That's the reason.
I was so jealous of her.
That's why I was mean to her.
You're the one who made me act like that.
You should know that.
(Pureun Bank)
It took too long to invite you here as I promised.
How's your internship going? It's not easy, is it?
I lack a lot of skills compared to the other interns.
So I have to make a lot of effort, Uncle Chang Yi.
The competency levels can be very different.
But you don't have to be intimated.
You just began your internship.
If you have any difficulties, ask Hae Mi for help.
Yes, Uncle Chang Yi.
Oh, right. I'd like to get a lot of good energy from you.
I respect you so much.
I respect you too. I mean it.
You received severance pay and won the intern competition.
You saved up 10,000 dollars so quickly...
and came here to leave the money to me.
You must've been very upset because of Do Sik.
This is all I have.
If I keep the money, it'll probably be used soon.
You can either make investments or just keep it in the bank.
I'll leave it to you.
I'll forget about the money.
All right. Since it's your money,
I'll keep it safe. Don't worry.
Thank you, Uncle Chang Yi.
Did you bring cash?
Yes.
Deposit it through a teller, who'll help you open an account.
- Why? - Even if it's your family,
you should always keep records of any type of money transactions.
Keep that in mind.
Understood. I'll keep that in mind.
You have feelings for her?
Let's see if your feelings won't change...
after you find out that she has a child.
Here you go.
What's this?
My company will hold a charity event tomorrow.
You should come to the event with Mi Ri Nae.
To Mi Ri Nae, visiting her mom's workplace...
will be meaningful.
Really?
Can the employees' families attend the event too?
- Yes. Oh, I almost forgot. - I see.
Auntie Eun Sook.
This is for you.
I put some money in it so that you can buy what you want.
Make sure to come, Auntie Eun Sook.
I'll show you around our office too.
You don't have to do this.
Oh, my. How thoughtful. I'll be there.
(The Love in Your Eyes)
I didn't reject you because I liked Ms. Lee.
Are you saying you'd still reject me if you don't like her?
Everyone on our team must think that you and Ms. Kim are engaged.
Does Ms. Lee believe so as well?
I didn't refuse to accept your feelings...
because of Ms. Kim.
The truth is, I...
