(Episode 61)
Honey, why are you home so late?
Goodness, those people.
Since we hadn't drunk together in a while, it went on for longer.
I called you to say I'd be late, but your phone was turned off.
I was surprised. You always keep your phone on.
I didn't know my phone died.
By the way, why do you look upset?
I saw Yeong I hitting on Se Jun in his office earlier today.
So I scolded her a bit harshly.
Kyung Jun threw a fit about it when he came home.
He always calls me "Mother" politely.
But he told me to butt out of his life, lashing out at me.
It made me feel so sad.
(Pureun Bank)
(Branch Manager Kim Chang Yi)
Did you send back the gifts from Yes E Construction?
Yes, sir.
With their loan extension evaluation coming up,
they must be anxious. I understand that.
But tell them to pay attention to preparing documents thoroughly.
They've been doing business with us for several years.
He should've known better.
That company's CEO is really nice and friendly, you know.
He seemed a little upset that you even sent back...
the apples for the other employees.
You don't do business based on personal feelings.
Work is work.
Understood.
I see you got a new watch.
Oh, My mother-in-law got this for me.
(Branch Manager Kim Chang Yi)
My goodness. What do you mean by that?
The chairman and Yeong I are friends?
Did I tell you they're friends too?
You see,
I called you over to give you pickled vegetables.
Come on. I clearly remember you saying that.
Please tell me the details.
Well... Yeong I and the chairman seemed quite close to each other.
The chairman came to the restaurant to see her yesterday.
What? Why would he meet Yeong I?
I mean, how do they know each other?
You find it hard to believe too, right?
He's the chairman...
of the company Hae Mi works at.
The guy Hae Mi is seeing is...
the chairman's grandson, Eun Sook.
His parents and we have already talked about their marriage.
What? Hae Mi's boyfriend is the chairman's grandson?
Of course. No wonder why...
you came here right away. You wanted to brag about it.
By the way, the chairman seemed...
to care deeply about Yeong I.
Apparently, when she was working at the convenience store,
the chairman met her often as a customer.
She worked there for several years, you know.
Oh, I see.
Oh, right. If that's true, I'll ask Yeong I a favor.
I'll ask her to put in a good word for Hae Mi with the chairman.
It looks like the chairman has been a little difficult lately.
You should do something for her in return.
My dear daughter-in-law...
is so busy with work and house chores.
Besides, seeing that they canceled the meeting the other day,
they must not have...
the least respect for your family.
And if a third person interferes in a relationship,
that would only ruin everything.
How can you say that? We're family.
Tell me.
If Yeong I helps you,
what will you do in return?
Yeong I listens to me, you know.
If Hae Mi marries into a rich family,
we shouldn't look so shabby. That would be bad.
What do you want, Eun Sook?
I hated it when she showed off her wealth.
This will teach you a lesson, Hwa Kyung.
Tell me what you want, Eun Sook.
How can I tell you all that? We're a big family.
You see, I'd like a faux fur coat that's popular among young people.
Such coats look so nice.
Like the one you have from a luxury brand.
By the way, when did you get this purse?
How much is it worth? It looks nice.
An outfit sounds reasonable. Of course, I'll buy you an outfit.
Do Sik, you said you needed a new laptop computer, right?
What was your suit size?
Eun Sook, please.
Did they go to the kitchen together again?
Kyung Jun went to the kitchen.
Yeong I got a phone call and rushed out.
She does whatever she wants.
(Food Purchase Order List)
I'll give you a choice.
I'm afraid I don't follow you, sir.
Choose between your job and love.
Make your choice right here and now.
Do you think it's unfair?
But I've seen many before.
I've been fooled too.
Ms. Lee, be honest with me.
It's for money, isn't it?
Or higher social status.
It's not like that.
You told me to be honest with you, right?
To be honest, I'm scared.
But I'm not going to let Kyung Jun go.
The same goes for work. If I've done something wrong,
I deserve to leave the company.
But if that's not the case, I don't want to quit.
You're so selfish.
Ms. Lee, let me be more candid with you.
It must feel like your feelings for each other will last forever.
But that's all a fantasy.
Such feelings fizzle out quickly.
One needs to meet someone on his level.
There's no way things will work out between you and Kyung Jun.
I...
genuinely like Kyung Jun. I have pure feelings for him.
Are you saying that you won't give up on either of them?
You're one foolish girl.
The answer you should've given me...
was that you'd give up on Kyung Jun.
I wasn't going to accept any other answers.
I'll give you until the second competition.
End your relationship with him before then.
- Sir. - Ms. Lee.
You may go now.
You're one foolish girl.
The answer you should've given me...
was that you'd give up on Kyung Jun.
Yeong I.
Come on.
Something smells good. What are you making?
Is it tteokgalbi?
Bingo. I thought of nuggets at first,
but I thought Korean food would be better, so I changed it.
Good thinking. I'm sure children like tteokgalbi too.
I minced onions and carrots that children hate.
Look. You can't see the vegetables in the patties, right?
Impressive. I can't see any of them.
You've improved a lot. You made a bunny look like a bear.
It was a fat bunny.
Stop, Kyung Jun. If you flip it too often,
it'll be undercooked inside and burnt outside.
Oh, I see.
Give me that.
Just press it slightly like this.
This way, you can cook the meat to the core well.
Watching you cook makes me fall more deeply into you.
I want to give Mi Ri Nae my tteokgalbi.
When can we meet again?
Wait, no.
I'll meet her at Eun Jin's cafe after work to give her this.
- But today... - I won't take no for an answer.
You promised to have dinner with me tonight.
All right. Let's have dinner together.
I'll ask Eun Jin to bring Mi Ri Nae to her cafe.
Yes!
Shall I taste it?
No, later.
I'll let Mi Ri Nae be the first one to try it.
We'll go to the meeting with our supplier, Ms. Kim.
Okay. When you negotiate the unit price,
make sure to let them know what we want.
Yes, ma'am. Then we'll get going.
You brought this upon yourself, Yeong I.

(The email has been sent successfully.)
Gosh, you startled me.
What were you doing? You didn't even see me coming in.
Oh, that...
I was just checking something.
What brings you here?
I just want to ask you for a cup of coffee.
You have an expensive coffee machine in the HR team office.
Don't get me started. It's broken. It'll be fixed two days later.
I see. Let's go in.
Thank you.
Is the intern assessment going well?
What are their current scores?
Why?
Are you worried about the interns on your team?
I'm not worried about them.
I'm just curious. That's all.
Right. They placed 1st in the 1st competition...
and did a good job at the charity event.
The interns on your team are ranked high currently.
Even if the mistake they made when the new PB product...
came out wrong affects their assessment,
they'll probably get a permanent position.
But the rankings could change...
according to the result of the second competition, right?
I don't know.
The second competition result won't make a big difference.
Unless they cause really big trouble, they'll be fine.
"Big trouble?"
I'm glad I changed the numbers in the purchase order.
If both of the interns on your team get a permanent position,
it'll affect your performance assessment too, right?
You must be happy.
Sorry?
Oh, that.
Exactly. I hope that'll happen.
But recently, I found out that one of our interns...
lied about having a child when she joined the company.
That shocked everyone on my team.
I didn't know about that.
One of them? You mean, Ms. Lee Yeong I?
Why did she lie about it?
She turned out to be a single mother.
Her kid is going to kindergarten.
So young, right?
Our company is quite conservative when it comes to such a matter.
I'm worried.
I'm not sure if she can survive even if she gets employed full-time.
True.
It's hard to focus on work while raising a child alone.
When is the grand opening again?
My gosh. You forgot the day of my grand opening?
Are you that busy with work? Or do you have a lot on your plate?
I'm sorry.
It's this coming Saturday.
It's okay. It's not like there will be a big event.
I'll keep it simple and prepare a tasting event.
After you quit your job,
I was worried that you might be stuck at home.
I'm proud of you.
You and I have always been great.
The whole neighborhood knows that.
Anyway, that's not important.
What did Yeong I say last night?
If you confessed your feelings, she must've given you an answer.
She said she was sorry.
Not even "Thank you?" She said she was sorry?
I guess that was the best answer she could give you.
I know.
But Eun Jin.
I don't think I can give up on her.
I thought I could move on after telling her...
how I felt for her and getting rejected.
But it didn't work out that way.
When I found out...
that Yeong I was seeing him,
I could see what she would go through.
I think I should be there for her...
when she goes through the hardest time.
I want to do that.
If she finally relies on me, and when that day comes,
I don't want to be with her while hiding my feelings for her.
It was a little too late, but I'm glad I told her how I felt.
Do you believe that Mom won't disapprove of her?
Mom adores Yeong I.
Whoever I choose to be with,
she'll be happy for me.
You were here, Eun Ho.
I have something to tell you.
Eun Jin, can you give us some privacy?
This is my cafe. Go to his clinic to have a private conversation.
You can't tell me to get out.
I couldn't talk about it at my workplace.
You know nothing about love as I expected.
Then just stay.
- Eun Ho, how could you do that? - What?
How can you have feelings for Yeong I?
Hey... How did you know that?
You confessed your feelings in front of my house.
How could I not hear you?
I came out to do exercise and heard your conversation.
Gosh, my head hurts.
"Why Yeong I, not me?" Is that what you're trying to say?
Eun Jin, do you really think I'm that kind of person?
Yeong I is...
Do Jin's wife.
And you are Do Jin's friend.
How could you betray your friend?
I didn't know you were so bad.
Aren't you even sorry to Do Jin who's up above?
I'm sorry...
to Do Jin...
and to you and Do Sik.
But Do Young.
I'm dealing with that guilt not to give up on Yeong I.
You know that Yeong I went through a lot.
I want Yeong I to become happy.
And I'm sure I can make that happen.
The guilt I have toward you...
I'll make it up to you over time.
No. Don't make it up to me. Just give up on her.
If you don't,
I'll tell everyone.
Including your mother and mine.
Do Young, wait.
Go and make her feel better.
Once she sets her mind to it, the whole neighborhood will know.
Don't let Mom hear that from anyone else but you. Hurry.
- I'll get going. Bye. - Go on.
Do Young!
Do Sik, you will return to school next semester, right?
Your mom and I think you should return to school...
and start studying so that you can get a decent job.
Return to school?
It's too late, Dad.
It's not too late.
I already dropped out of school.
What? You dropped out without discussing it with us?
You said I could live as myself.
You see, studying is not my thing.
You brat.
When did you drop out of school?
The day after Mom said I could live as myself.
But don't you worry.
Happiness is not determined by a college degree.
You brat. Even so, how could you?
Being a college dropout is different from being a college graduate.
You made such an important decision by yourself? Gosh.
I'm going to start...
thinking about my future career.
I'll make your lives so much better.
- Gosh. - What's wrong?
Did Do Sik cause trouble again?
- Why did you hit him while eating? - Well...
It's nothing, Mom.
(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)
- Mother. - Oh, my.
- I'm here. - Hey.
Oh, my. Hwa Kyung. What brings you here at this hour?
I came to have a talk with Eun Sook.
She suddenly got an upset stomach.
So I thought I should come and help with the work here.
Oh, I didn't see you, Do Sik.
Hello, Auntie Hwa Kyung.
Dad, I'll go and help Eun Jin at her cafe.
- Goodbye, Auntie Hwa Kyung. - No. Hey, wait.
Well... Hwa Kyung.
Is my wife very sick? Does she have an upset stomach?
Yes, it happened suddenly. But I know why.
I'm worried that she's sick.
- Oh, no. Eun Sook. No. - Goodness.
Oh, gosh. That fool. What do I do?
I'm jealous, Mother.
What?
Chang Il is so romantic.
"Oh, no. Eun Sook. No."
Give me a break.
Hwa Kyung, my sweetie.
Bok Hee, I love you.
My goodness.
Honey.
Honey, do you have an upset stomach?
Did you eat something bad? Shouldn't you go see a doctor?
It's not something that a doctor can fix.
Somebody is so lucky.
Who?
I'm talking about Hwa Kyung.
Sorry?
She said a large company's chairman will be her in-law.
A large company's chairman?
The elderly man who came to see Yeong I yesterday.
He's Hae Mi's boyfriend's grandfather.
Really?
That's great news.
If it's a happy event to celebrate for that family, so it is for us.
I can't believe you. You have such a big heart.
People feel bitter even when their cousin buys a piece of land.
Are you jealous?
Yes, I'm jealous.
Had Do Sik gotten into med school,
I wouldn't be jealous of them having rich in-laws.
Hwa Kyung has only one child, and things are going well for her.
But our children...
Still, Do Sik will graduate from college...
and get a bachelor's degree. Right. I'm relieved.
I mean, he might get a job at a large company.
I can at least hope for that.
He's my last hope.
I already dropped out of school.
Hwa Kyung must have been itching...
to brag about marrying Hae Mi off to a rich family.
By the way, honey.
Their family meeting was canceled the other day.
There must be an obstacle. What could that be?
What obstacle could there be?
Chang Yi's family is good enough to be their in-laws.
No.
Hwa Kyung heard about Yeong I and the chairman's relationship...
and came to ask Yeong I to put in a good word for Hae Mi.
I hope Hae Mi will break up with him.
Don't say that.
Oh, no. I'm sorry.
I said that out loud unintentionally.
I wonder if Yeong I knows.
She must know since they work at the same company.
I'll ask her when she comes home.
Goodness you. Seeing how chatty you are,
I think your stomach is fine now.
What? Oh, you're right.
I think having a chat with you helped me get better.
Then come out to help us at the restaurant.
I'll send Hwa Kyung home.
Why?
She always brags about her life. Let her do some work there.
No. Hurry up and get up, okay?
The last time Hwa Kyung came,
she only broke ten plates and didn't help at all. Come on out.
Ten plates? That many? Gosh, seriously.
So...
You want me to find out about the person...
who died in that accident?
Yes.
About the victim's family...
and friends as well.
But you gave me too little information.
It'll cost much money to get all the information I need.
Just get it done as soon as possible.
I'll pay you handsomely.
You know that people in this field are expensive, right?
By the way, why do you want to find out about a dead person?
Are you...
You're more curious than you look.
Well, it's just a formality.
I'll shut my mouth if my client wants me to.
Do that.
Just do as you're told.
Then I'll get to work now.
- Who is he? - Oh, him.
A salesman. He was here to lobby, obviously.
Don't worry about it.
So many people want to meet me because of my position.
But he seemed so dodgy.
Don't deal with everyone.
What brings you here?
Did you have lunch?
Well, I ate with Yeong I.
You haven't eaten yet, right?
Thank you, Kyung Jun.
Se Jun.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I lost it for a moment.
I shouldn't have said such a mean thing to you.
You don't have to apologize. I would've done the same.
But...
Don't get me wrong.
Yeong I...
was my friend even before she started dating you.
- She's your friend? - I asked her to be.
She seemed like someone...
who could help me forget everything and relax for a moment.
Is there a lot you can't even tell me about?
It's not that I can't tell you.
I choose not to.
You have enough on your plate too.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave...
(Vice President Cha Yoon Hee)
I decide when we talk on the phone.
Do not call me whenever you want.
Have you lost your mind?
How dare you?
You promised to live quietly as if you were dead.
Live quietly as if you didn't exist.
Come on.
How can I do that when I'm alive and well?
Speaking of which, Yoon Hee, here's what's funny about being alive.
I didn't know I'd need so much money when all I did was breathe.
Right. Of course, that's what you want.
Tell me how much money you want.
You still believe that money can solve everything.
No, the most important thing to anyone is affection.
Let me see Se Jun.
You know how much I adored him.
I used to say he was smart just like his mom.
Shut it.
Don't you dare speak my son's name.
Calm down.
Everyone knows that he's your son.
I'll send you 100,000 dollars. Never contact me again.
That hurts my feelings.
Don't make me a snob.
That makes me want to go to see you.
Sim Won Sub!
I'll be in touch.
(The Love in Your Eyes)
Did you even try to see what kind of person Yeong I is...
before disapproving of her?
But she's way out of Kyung Jun's league.
I wish you lived with us.
I'll go and take you with me as soon as I can.
That's Yeong I, right?
What are they doing?
Who is that man? What's going on?
