(Episode 59)
Why are you being like this?
Must you be like this because of a mere newspaper article?
Why are you so weak?
I don't know.
I was so surprised when Grandpa was talking about it.
Mom, I'm having such a hard time.
Like you said...
I tell myself, "It's all in the past."
"I can forget it and move on with my life."
But then, when I think about what happened to him because of me...
You're talking as though...
it was entirely your fault.
It was an accident.
That day, we did everything we could.
Right, we made sure no one would find out.
Right, Won Sub knows.
He wanted...
to cut all ties with our family, and he did just that years ago.
Do not bring up his name again in front of me.
From time to time, I wonder about this.
What?
What kind of person was he?
How would his family be doing now?
If he was married,
does that mean I killed the breadwinner of his family?
Mom.
Did that knock some sense into you?
Can you really afford to be fixated on the past...
and waste your time like this?
Do you have that much time on your hands?
You are...
my son, Jang Se Jun.
And...
you're the future chairman of TS Retail.
Never forget those two things...
going forward.
Get some rest.
Ta-da!
You made these yourself?
Mom, look at this. It's so cute.
Yes, it's adorable.
There's no way you made all these yourself.
My goodness. How did you know?
We have someone who helps us with the housework.
She helped me make these.
Mi Ri Nae, which one do you want?
I'll get it for you.
Well...
This one! This one's the cutest.
Oh, it looks like a teddy bear.
It's a bunny.
Oh, it's a bunny?
How come everyone thinks it's a teddy bear?
Does it look too chubby?
Mi Ri Nae, open wide. Here.
Well done.
Mister, open wide.
Mom, feed him one too.
But he's an adult.
Come on. Feed me one.
Here.
- But... - What? Come on.
Here.
Mom, hurry.
It tastes much more delicious when someone feeds you.
I learned something new today.
I'll brag about this to my friends at the kindergarten tomorrow.
I'll tell them I had lunch which you packed for us...
and rode a bike with you.
Are you that happy, Mi Ri Nae?
Mister, you're like...
my dad.
"Dad?"
My friends told me that dads are good at everything.
You taught me how to ride a bike...
and packed me lunch too,
like my dad would.
If there's anything else you want to do, just tell me.
I'll make it happen, no matter what it is.
Hurry up and eat the bunnies that look like teddy bears.
Okay.
(Cafe Pareut)
Mom, what if someone steals my bike?
We locked it, so don't worry.
I wanted to spend more time with him.
Next time. Let's go inside.
Eun Ho.
Yes, hi.
Mi Ri Nae, you're here too.
Uncle Eun Ho! I learned to ride a bike today.
A bike?
Did you teach her, Yeong I? You can't ride a bike.
Well...
Mr. Jang Kyung Jun taught her.
We were with him until just now.
Oh, I see.
You said you had something to tell me. What is it?
Well...
Oh, I should've dropped Mi Ri Nae off at home first. Sorry.
I thought it was something she could hear too.
It's okay. I'll tell you another time.
Hey, you'd better watch out. Why am I your girlfriend?
Come on. We were busy handing out the flyers.
"No, we're just friends. We've been friends for 20 years."
Was I supposed to explain everything? I was freezing.
Are you guys already done? You said it'd take a while.
We want to warm up for a bit before we head out again.
We're hungry too.
Sorry, Eun Ho.
Did you do it?
Anyway, what are you and Mi Ri Nae doing here?
Eun Ho wanted to see me.
Eun Jin!
My grandma sent this...
to congratulate you on your grand opening.
Do Young, you're here too?
Eun Ho, it's not your day today.
Thanks.
Oh, Eun Ho. What are you two doing here?
This is actually good. I wanted to ask you something.
Wait. What are those flowers for, Eun Ho?
Don't tell me Hae Mi was here.
Or are you meeting her here again?
Eun Ho, what is really going on between you and Hae Mi?
Do Young, what is wrong with you?
You know nothing, so stay out of this.
Hey, I asked him to pick up some flowers for the cafe.
Gosh, you guys are stressing me out. Leave, will you?
Is this a monthly meeting or something? Get out, all of you.
Do Sik, you get out first.
You worked me like a dog all day.
You won't even buy me a meal?
Here's your pay for the day. Go buy yourself some jjajangmyeon.
I have a thing called pride too.
Hey, we're friends. I shouldn't let you pay me for...
I should draw the line between work and my personal life.
I should get going too.
Yeong I, let's talk another time.
Okay, Eun Ho.
Eun Ho, tell me!
Are you really seeing Hae Mi?
No!
- Eun Ho! - Hey, stop! He's not seeing her.
He's not crazy. Why would he date someone like her?
Hey, Do Sik. Take your sister and leave already.
Okay. Do Young, let's go. Come on.
- Go on! - Gosh!
Eun Jin.
Is everything okay with Eun Ho?
What? Oh, well...
By any chance...
Is he having money problems?
Yeong I, you're so complicated and simple-minded at the same time.
It's nothing like that, so don't worry.
I saw a bike out front. Whose is it?
Did you buy it for Mi Ri Nae?
Sorry? Oh, that's...
Mi Ri Nae wanted to learn how to ride a bike.
My goodness. It looked expensive.
You can now buy a bike for your daughter without thinking twice.
Mother, she is not afraid to spend money...
now that she works for a big company.
This is what makes earning money so rewarding.
Well done.
I'm surprised, Yeong I.
You didn't even want to spend money on a new pair of socks.
We should've bought her a bike long ago. Why didn't we think of that?
Hey, Yeong I.
I'll take care of that later. Leave it. Just have some fruit.
I'm almost done.
Mother.
I'm tired because I was busy cleaning the house all day.
I should go to bed early today.
- Good night. - All right.
Wait. Are you aching all over?
Do you want a massage, honey?
Goodness. I can't stand them whenever they do this.
Are you jealous, Grandma?
Then I'll give you a massage!
Oh, that feels nice.
Does this feel nice?
My, it feels so nice.
Did you get home safely?
I got home safe and sound.
Hey, Mi Ri Nae.
So that jerk... I mean, he bought you a bike...
and also taught you how to ride it?
Yes. He also brought lunch for us.
We ate it together with Mom.
Hey, I was supposed to teach you how to ride a bike.
This really hurts my feelings.
You're always with Eun Jin.
Well, we have been spending a lot of time together as of late.
Why are you so surprised?
Me? What?
I heard that jerk bought that bike for Mi Ri Nae.
Did you just call him a jerk? How dare you.
Just tell the others that I bought it.
Look at you. You're getting better at lying.
How much longer must I put up with your lies?
Answer me.
I put up with your antics too, so return the favor.
I'll tell them soon.
Are you asking for a favor? Or is this a threat?
I feel bad that you wasted your time and money because of me,
so I'll be nice.
Mom.
Yes?
Does Uncle Do Sik not like him?
Why does he always speak ill of him?
No, he does not dislike him.
Well, Uncle Do Sik is just...
He's just worried about me.
Why? That Mr. Kyung Jun would turn out to be a bad person?
No, it's not that.
He's such a wonderful person.
You must be tired.
I had fun today.
And thank you, Kyung Jun.
Grandpa, you're still up?
Kyung Jun, come to my room.
You're seeing someone these days, aren't you?
How did you know?
It's written all over your face.
You even packed a lunchbox for her.
You must be serious about her.
I'm so curious. Let me meet her.
We're not there yet, Grandpa.
She has just started to open up to me.
She's a very careful person, so I'm going to take it slow.
Wait just a little longer. I'll introduce you to her soon.
She has just started to open up to you?
You two can just date if you like each other.
What's there to hesitate when she's so young?
Did you rub Baby Chick the wrong way?
What? No way. I'm so good to Yeong I...
Grandpa, how did you know?
When did you find out?
You've been talking about her a lot when you get home from work.
You just can't hide it, can you?
She's a wonderful person.
She's a great person,
and I really like her.
You won't be against it, right?
What if I am? Will you give up?
I, of all people, know that she's a wonderful person.
I know that better than you do.
It won't be easy though.
I'm sure your father will be against it.
And your mother wants you to marry Hae Mi.
Be her solid rock...
so that she won't be hurt.
Thank you, Grandpa.
You never read. What's gotten into you?
I told you not to try too hard.
Honey, what did you tell Hae Mi?
I hope you didn't tell her to give up on Kyung Jun.
She won't listen to me anyway.
Gosh, honey!
She's feeling dejected now. Did you have to say that to her?
She says that she can't live without him.
She doesn't want to date anyone else!
As parents, we must do everything we can to help her.
Now, I really don't want to give up, honey.
That won't change his mind.
Let's not waste our time and energy.
What's this?
Oh, it came for you.
Who sent it?
The CEO of some construction company.
Isn't he your friend?
(Choi Jung Hyun)
I can't believe you accepted this!
Why are you yelling at me? Am I not supposed to accept it?
Hi, Mr. Yoon. You know, the CEO of the construction company.
I explained the situation to him. What's wrong with him?
He sent a gift to my home address.
With their loan extension evaluation coming up,
this isn't right.
What did you get from him?
Return it to him at once!
Since when did we accept gifts from clients?
Come on. I'm sure he sent it because you deserved it.
Don't be so strict.
Learn to be flexible, or you'll break.
Have some green juice before you head out.
Good morning, Yeong I.
Yes, good morning.
It's hot, so drink it slowly.
It doesn't feel bad to be treated like a kid.
It's good. It's warming me up.
Of course, I made it.
Oh, right. Mi Ri Nae told me that you couldn't ride a bike either.
That's right. I can't.
I can't figure out how to balance myself on a bike.
My gosh, I'm really surprised.
I can't believe you can't ride a bike.
You were a taekwondo player when you were young,
and you can run really fast.
Clearly, you're very athletic.
Maybe it's because you never met a good teacher.
I'll never learn how to ride a bike.
Come on. You can't say that after seeing how I taught Mi Ri Nae.
This weekend, it's your turn to learn.
You'll teach me too?
Gosh, no. You'll get really frustrated.
We'll end up fighting.
What kind of bike do you want?
One with a basket at the front?
Or a 21-speed bike?
My gosh. Stop. Maybe next time, okay?
You should learn before you turn a year older.
Yeong I!
Had the lunch meeting happened,
we would've been able to make Lee Yeong I...
give up on Kyung Jun as you had wished.
It's too bad.
Is Mr. Chairman okay?
He's getting old, you know.
So these things happen often.
By the way,
why don't you tell your grandmother and aunt about it?
Tell your mother too.
Then we should be able to speed things up, don't you think?
No, not yet.
The two of them just found out that they like each other.
If I step in recklessly...
and tell the elders now,
it'll only make the heart grow fonder.
To tell you the truth,
I'm afraid the two of them might elope together.
Don't worry.
I'm not sure about Lee Yeong I,
but Kyung Jun isn't that reckless.
Also, my husband and I...
certainly won't let that happen.
You've never experienced anything like this before,
so you must be hurt and devastated now.
But trust me and wait patiently.
Getting rid of someone like her is a piece of cake to me.
The interns should submit their lunchbox proposals by this evening.
I'll review them for you.
Sure, no problem.
No problem, Ms. Kim.
Kyung Jun, Yeong I. You said you'd use the kitchen this afternoon.
- Yes. - Yes.
I prepared all the ingredients you need.
Just make sure you tidy up when you're done.
By the way, what are you two making today?
I'm making seasoned herbs.
Are you thinking of making bibimbap for the lunchbox?
No, I want to make a lunchbox for the holidays.
These days, people opt out of ancestral memorial ceremonies...
to take a day trip as a family...
or just spend time with relatives they haven't seen in a while.
So I wanted to make a simple holiday-themed lunchbox.
That way, no one has to spend hours making all the dishes.
Seasoned herbs go bad easily,
so you'll just have to figure out a solution for that.
Is it because you have experience living with your in-laws?
It's a good idea. It's refreshing.
Yes.
I want to do what I know well and am best at.
Goodness. You should really include a meat dish.
Meat never betrays you.
I'm making a meat dish.
I found out this weekend...
that I'm actually good at food decorating.
How about some bunny-shaped meatballs?
Oh, really?
Then I'll come downstairs to taste some later.
(Cafe Pareut)
You should've just asked Do Young to do this.
I wanted to get some air.
You must be frustrated.
You should've just confessed your feelings to her...
as soon as you made up your mind.
But Do Sik came, and Do Young showed up too.
There were too many people here.
It's okay.
I knew I couldn't do it anyway...
because of Mi Ri Nae.
But are you really going to tell her?
Then what? Just give up?
I will tell her. I must.
This was supposed to be a heart.
Yeong I, what do you think?
It's too big. You said the lunchbox was for kids.
Oh, is this too big for Mi Ri Nae?
Make it this big. That'd be the perfect size.
This big?
Let's see...
Like this?
Nice. Mi Ri Nae can eat the whole thing in one bite.
If I make this for Mi Ri Nae, she'll be so happy.
Mi Ri Nae is a picky eater.
My dear Mi Ri Nae said she liked everything except for cucumbers.
I am my dear Mi Ri Nae's mother.
I am my dear Mi Ri Nae's...
I'm just her mister.
She still just calls me "Mister."
Shall I grill a few of these?
Hold on, Kyung Jun.
- What is it? - Tie your apron again.
Did it come undone again?
It keeps happening.
Come here. I'll fix it for you.
It's because you tied it at the back.
All right. Tie it like this, and turn around.
Then tie it like this.
Now, that won't come undone.
Oh. I'm sorry, sir.
We recently inspected our kitchen facility,
so I wanted to show you around.
Let's do it another time.
Come in.
I heard you asked for me.
Take a seat.
Your mother said you might be dating Lee Yeong I at the moment.
I guess it's true.
Do you not care even if your colleagues see it?
Are you two that close now?
- Father. - I have high hopes for you.
I already had a word with you about this,
so at least pretend to listen to me.
Must you disappoint me...
with your girl problems during your internship?
If you keep this up, I'll have to change my ways too.
Do I need your permission to date someone?
Did you ask Grandpa for permission...
before you started dating Mother?
You didn't, right?
Was your mother a widow with a child?
Stop talking nonsense!
I didn't expect that you'd approve of her right away.
But...
I hope you can respect my decision...
and just wait and see.
She's way below your league!
She's no match for Ms. Kim. But what? You like her?
I'm saying this because I'm in utter disbelief.
I'll be blunt.
What would you do if I did something to Lee Yeong I?
You're being childish. Don't threaten me like this.
What? Childish?
You always said you wanted me to meet a wonderful woman.
But you're against our relationship without even trying...
to get to know her better.
Frankly, I'm disappointed in you.
I choose whom I want to be with.
Do not treat her unfairly...
just based on your personal feelings.
I am...
asking you.
That little...
She's way below your league!
I'm sorry. I called you here.
I just feel frustrated.
You look a little pale today.
Did you have trouble falling asleep again?
Yes. I guess it's something I have to live with.
By any chance,
did you have trouble falling asleep...
after your husband passed away?
Yes.
It was so sudden...
that I struggled for a long time to come to terms with it.
What should I do when even reciting the nonsense times table...
doesn't work?
To be honest, it's not really helpful these days.
You know what it is that's been keeping you up at night, right?
Then...
just face it head-on. That's the only thing you can do.
It's not like someone else...
will fix it for you if you avoid it.
Face it head-on?
At the beginning, you will be terrified.
It's painful, and you won't want to do it.
But it's the only way.
That was the case for me.
Director Jang.
Hello, ma'am.
What brings you here?
Ms. Lee.
What's an intern doing in the director's office?
I'm here to water his plants.
I'm in charge of it.
Director Jang.
Since when did you have these plants?
Did she tell you to do this?
So it'd be easier for her to walk in and out of your office?
Ma'am, please watch what you say.
You can go.
Thank you for everything today.
No problem.
What are you up to?
Kyung Jun and Se Jun.
Are you hoping one of them will fall hard for you?
How dare you smile? No wonder everyone thinks you're easy!
Please don't get the wrong idea. I was just...
Mom!
Please do not pity...
worthless riffraff like her, Se Jun!
Get out at once!
(The Love in Your Eyes)
Will they accept me?
Will it work out if I make an effort?
I don't know why I keep feeling so small.
I don't want you to be hurt because of someone you love.
How about me?
As a man, not as a good friend.
