(Episode 75)
Your dad told me that you were taking time off.
Yes.
I was out of line the other day.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Don't worry about it. I was on edge too.
Still, I feel at ease since you apologized first.
I met Uncle Won Sub.
Oh, I see.
He said the same thing you said.
What he said made me realize...
that it was selfish of me...
to try to dig into the accident when it was all in the past...
and to think of finding his family.
I decided to forget about it and move on.
Good. You made the right decision.
Don't worry about work.
Get as much rest as you need at home.
Don't go out to meet people when you need to rest.
Whom would I meet? I don't have any friends, you know.
I'll see you later.
Okay. Rest up.
I'm sorry, Mom.
But if you keep pushing me,
I'd have no choice but to keep lying to you like this.
(Vice President Cha Yoon Hee)
Oh, my, Ms. Cha. What makes you call me first thing in the morning?
Hand over...
all the information you got about the accident to me.
I want to check it myself.
Okay.
I should never let my guard down.
The result of the second competition will come out today, right?
Kyung Jun, this is highly confidential.
But Yeong I placed first in the preliminary evaluation.
They say that Yeong I who joined the company with the lowest score...
will get a permanent position for sure,
which has never happened in the company's history.
The word spread all over the company.
Is that true, Mr. Heo?
Come on. Why can't you believe your supervisor?
I heard you moved to DG Distribution recently. Is that true?
I see.
Hey, that's great news.
What are you pondering, Ms. Im?
Sorry? Oh, it's nothing.
We should wait to the end to see how it turns out.
Good morning.
Good morning, Yeong I.
Good morning, everyone.
- Hello, ma'am. - Good morning, Ms. Kim.
Ms. Kim, we were just talking about the second competition.
Everyone at the company says that Yeong I will...
What? Hey, how did you hurt your face?
Did you have a fist fight or something?
Pardon? Oh, that...
Let's get to work.
Why did Yeong I's proposal get such a high score?
I know, right?
Ms. Kim said she would take care of it.
What is going on?
I can't accept this.
I'll gather them to make them evaluate her proposal again.
(CEO Office)
Dad, what brings you here?
Father.
The second intern competition is today, right?
I said I would come.
In the second competition, we only evaluate their proposals.
So there won't be much for you to see.
You brat. I'm not here to see their lunchboxes.
Bring me the evaluation reports.
- Have a seat, Dad. - Okay.
Here you go. Check them, Dad.
Before that...
As for the evaluation of the proposals for the competition,
it was a blinded evaluation, wasn't it?
Bring me all of the proposals.
Let's see if this retired old man still has his business sense.
Let's test it.
Mr. Oh, can you bring the proposals? They're on my desk.
Here they are, sir.
I said I was okay. It doesn't hurt.
I'm worried it'll leave a scar.
I'll see your pretty face for the rest of my life.
Here.
Done.
I feel like I put you through this.
I'm really sorry.
You haven't done anything wrong.
Then why would you apologize?
Oh, right. How did you think of recording a story book...
for Mi Ri Nae's birthday gift?
I mean, I always knew you had a great voice.
Did Mi Ri Nae like it?
Of course, she did.
She asked me to play it as soon as she woke up...
and kept listening to it repeatedly.
Talking about Mi Ri Nae makes me want to see her.
I've been volunteering to read books since not long ago.
You read books? For whom?
For children with visual impairment.
It's one of the programs at the library.
I record an audiobook...
of a story book recommended by the librarians...
or one that many children are interested in.
Then the children who can't see...
can hear the story through my voice.
At first, I got really nervous.
But now, I wish I could do it more often.
It feels rewarding.
That's why you met Mi Ri Nae at the library.
That's hard to believe.
What made you decide to volunteer to do that?
I'll tell you about that later.
I want to tell you when we're alone together.
What could that be?
I can't wait to hear your story.
Well...
It's about the person who saved my life.
There's this person I must never forget...
nor can I forget.
Your lifesaver?
I too have someone I think of as my lifesaver.
Grandpa. I mean, Chairman Jang.
Please enjoy.
Thank you.
Oh, my. I love this smell. It looks so good.
Let's eat. I'll put some on your plate.
My dear Yeong I, chew it well.
I'm so curious about your lifesaver...
and how you met that person.
Don't forget to tell me the story, okay?
(The Holiday Lunchbox for Singles)
In my opinion,
this proposal is the best.
What's the ranking of this proposal?
Why can't you answer me?
Vice President Cha, check that for me.
Yes, Father.
It placed first, Father.
Of course!
I think I could return to work now.
The intern who submitted this proposal.
What's the name of the intern and what team is the person from?
The intern of the food product development team...
Lee Yeong I.
Really?
Since I've checked the scores...
and the proposals with my own eyes,
I believe the result won't change for any reason. Right?
Does the cat have your tongue?
Do you two have a problem with the result?
Of course not, Father.
Right.
Even if you do, what are you going to do about it?
The judges evaluated the proposals very fairly.
I'm telling you this just in case.
I believe it won't happen,
but if the competition result changes,
I'll think that you two are behind it. Mark my words.
Understood.
Yes, Father.
Let's get going, Soo Wan.
You don't have to see me out. Keep yourselves busy with work.
Go home safely, Dad.
I'll see you at home, Father.
(CEO Office)
Hurry up, Kyung Jun.
It hasn't come out yet, right?
Where have you been? The result will be out shortly.
Are we the only ones who are nervous?
You two must be so confident.
Oh, it'll be announced in seven seconds.
Okay. Six.
- Five, four, three, - Five, four, three,
- two, one. - two, one.
Come out.
(The second intern competition rankings)
Look. Yeong I is in the first place.
You really placed first.
The intern of our team wrote a new history in the end.
Congratulations, Yeong I.
Ms. Kim, Yeong I placed first,
and Kyung Jun placed third.
Yeong I, congratulations.
Thank you, Ms. Kim.
Kyung Jun, you did a good job too.
Yeong I, you'll get a permanent position soon.
That won't be all.
Considering how well she did in the competition,
she'll have no problem being hired with the highest score.
I guess so.
You worked very hard for this. You can put your mind at ease...
and finish your internship well, Yeong I.
Congratulations from the bottom of my heart.
I couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you.
I like this warm and friendly atmosphere since it's been tense.
The food product development team full of joy and love.
When I count to three, say, "Let's go." One, two, three.
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Now that the result has been announced,
it'll get harder for us to get rid of Yeong I.
Is there any way to fire her?
Honey, how come you're so relaxed?
Did you just give up when Dad showed up?
No, I never gave up.
I'm just waiting for Ms. Kim to drag her down.
Ms. Kim?
Ms. Kim is quite similar to me.
She has persistence in getting what she wants.
She has determination too.
I admire those values.
To be honest, our sons are too soft.
Especially Kyung Jun seems level-headed on the outside,
but he's tenderhearted on the inside.
He'll have more responsibilities at work.
Kyung Jun needs a spouse like Ms. Kim.
I didn't know that you cared that much about him.
You're right.
Kyung Jun needs a wife with tenacity just like Ms. Kim.
The oldest daughter-in-law from a moderately good family...
whom I can use however I want. She's perfect for that role.
(Beef bone soup with brisket)
Haven't you heard from Chang Yi since yesterday?
I think I should go see him.
What?
To be honest,
I'm upset when I think about what Hwa Kyung did.
But I have no choice. I'm the older brother.
Chang Yi must be distressed as well.
Thinking how heartbroken Hae Mi must be...
must break his heart too.
It's obvious that he feels so bad toward you and Yeong I...
that he doesn't even know what to do.
They say that the older siblings are always better than the younger ones.
Will you be okay alone?
The lunch rush is almost over.
You made the right decision.
Don't worry about me and go on.
Yes, Mom.
Yes, Yeong I.
I placed first, Father.
What?
The result just came out.
I placed first in the lunchbox idea competition.
And I heard I'll be employed full-time soon.
Hello? Father?
Yes.
Great job.
I'm so proud of you.
Father, are you crying?
I felt terrible about what happened yesterday.
So I wanted to let you know before telling anyone else.
I'm not crying.
Yeong I, come straight home after work today.
I'll prepare a special meal for you.
Okay. I'll see you at home.
Mom.
Yeong I placed first in the competition.
And she'll be employed full-time soon.
Really? That's great news. Oh, I forgot.
Ms. Buyeo, you heard that, right?
Your granddaughter will get a permanent position soon.
You can put your worries to rest now.
I'm so happy. Chang Il, when Yeong I comes back,
let's cook a lot of Korean beef for her. What?
(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)
Where did he go?
She thinks she's better than us.
How dare she slap Yeong I?
Gosh. I'm so furious.
I mean, has she forgotten what I did for her before?
Since her family had moved overseas,
I looked after her after she gave birth to Hae Mi.
When she was too afraid to even touch that newborn baby,
I went there every morning and evening to bathe her.
Gosh. I'm so angry. How dare she?
Good grief. I'm just fuming mad.
That ungrateful wench. I hate her guts.
Honey. Hey, where are you?
What is it now?
Honey. Come on, Eun Sook.
Yeong I will be employed full-time. Aren't you happy?
I heard you, so stop saying that.
You're all over the place.
What?
Gosh.
Goodness. I can't believe him. He has such a big heart.
When she gets employed full-time,
she'll see that guy at work all day long.
Good grief.
Oh, no.
Still, I'm proud of her.
When she gets employed full-time,
should she wear formal shoes instead of sneakers?
Why did you ask for jjajangmyeon? You never had jjajangmyeon.
You prefer jjamppong.
It's not just love that can change. I guess people can change too.
You're right. If you think about Yeong I...
I'm going to the restroom.
Eun Jin.
Why are you having jjajangmyeon? You prefer...
Yes, I used to prefer jjamppong.
But people can change. I like jjajangmyeon now. Okay?
Oh, right. How did Yeong I look this morning?
I didn't see her leaving this morning.
You know...
that I sleep with my grandma on Do Jin's death anniversary.
So that she can celebrate Mi Ri Nae's birthday...
and cry all she wants.
Oh, Yeong I said the competition result would come out today, right?
Didn't she call you?
Eun Ho, you know everything going on with Yeong I.
It's not just him. We all share our private lives with one another.
The result should be out by now. I'll text her.
Eun Jin, my lunchbox proposal...
was chosen as the best in the competition.
It's from Yeong I.
Is it Yeong I? What did she say?
- What? - That's awesome.
- That's such great news! - I'm so happy for her!
- Isn't it great news? - Yes.
I knew she'd pull it off.
Do you even know what we're celebrating?
No. I just wanted to join you guys. What were you celebrating?
Just jump with us.
What's the news?
It's so exciting!
- Drink this. - Thank you.
Kyung Jun.
You went on about how good you were at making a proposal.
I'm sorry I beat you.
As I placed first, I realized...
that how to write a proposal matters too,
but the idea is more important...
and that this company acknowledges it. That's what I thought.
Aren't you having coffee?
I just want to look at your face.
I mean, I wonder how a person in the first place would look.
I see why I lost to you.
Oh, gosh. It hurts my eyes.
You're shining so brightly. You placed first for a reason.
Come on. Stop it.
I was trying to brag, but you just joked around with me.
Anyway, you placed 3rd among the 20 interns.
You know that's awesome too, right?
You did a great job.
You're right.
I placed third when I'm bad at cooking.
Oh, I'm proud of myself.
But still, it's a shame.
I really wanted to place first...
so that I could go to the sea with you while holding your hand.
Oh, the sea?
I really enjoyed myself when we went to Han River.
Do you not like the sea?
You said you'd go with me.
It's not that I don't like it.
Can I be honest with you?
Of course.
I'm afraid.
Why? Do you have some kind of trauma?
I'll tell you later.
They must be being all lovey-dovey in there again.
Ms. Im, shall we ask Yeong I to treat us to a meal to celebrate?
How about braised chicken that we couldn't have the other day?
That won't cost her too much money.
Ms. Im, can you hear me?
Ms. Im, I'm talking about chicken right now.
(Pureun Bank)
Let's wait for a few days before we accept Mr. Yoon's resignation.
He might change his mind and return to work.
I see. Yes, understood, sir.
(Branch Manager Kim Chang Yi)
Hae Mi, have you had lunch?
I know you must be upset, but don't skip your meals.
(Pureun Bank)
I don't remember you calling me to say you'd come.
I walked around the park six times in this cold weather.
Because I couldn't cool down my anger.
You should walk around some more before going home.
It might help you calm your anger.
I'll go home early.
Not home, but to Chang Il's house.
Go to Chang Il's house.
I won't ever approve of it.
So go there and get it sorted out.
Representing our family. Why?
Because you are the head of our family, not theirs.
What's left to sort out with Chang Il's family?
It's all over now.
Let's focus on helping Hae Mi pick up the pieces.
No. I already told you.
I'll make sure that Kyung Jun will be my son-in-law.
Honey. Hwa Kyung.
He scarred my heart and made me cry.
I'm determined not to leave him be.
Besides, out of all women,
he chose Yeong I. How can I let her steal him from Hae Mi?
His family won't even approve of her.
I even got slapped in my face. I'm not afraid of anything.
I'll take this to the end.
Oh, hello.
You were here too, Hwa Kyung.
- Chang Il, you're here. - Hi.
I'm glad you're here, Chang Il.
Let me just tell you one thing.
Tell Yeong I to end her relationship with her boyfriend no matter what.
This is absurd. We're family.
How could she steal her sister-in-law's boyfriend?
Stop it, honey. Leave now.
Hwa Kyung, did you say she stole him?
As far as I know, he never dated Hae Mi.
Hae Mi has been having a one-sided crush on him.
Chang Il, I think Hwa Kyung needs more time to cool down her anger.
I'm not here because I'm calm either.
We talked about their marriage with his parents.
She ruined everything when it was going well.
Gosh, I'm so upset.
My gosh.
Have a seat.
My wife ruined Do Jin's memorial ceremony...
and caused a commotion in front of the entire family.
I apologize to you for that on her behalf.
Well, my wife didn't do anything she'd be proud of either.
She shouldn't have hit Hwa Kyung.
You see, Chang Il.
I'm a little upset too.
When I visited Mom's restaurant a while ago,
you must've heard me talking about my concerns about Hae Mi.
Why didn't you tell me?
Had I known,
what happened yesterday wouldn't have happened.
Chang Yi, I don't appreciate how you put it.
Think about it. Are you saying that I intentionally hid...
the fact that Yeong I was seeing him?
Can't you see how hard it would've been for us to tell you?
It's not a simple matter you can just casually talk about.
Right. It's not that I don't understand how you felt.
But I would've told you if I were in your situation.
That way, we could've prevented emotional exhaustion...
Kim Chang Yi.
Right. I'm sorry.
I'm not highly educated like you.
In a situation like this, I can't think of a solution like you do.
What did you say? "Emotional exhaustion?"
You brat. You could've put it simply.
- Forget it. - Chang Il.
Hi, Kyu Young. It's me.
When will the news article come out?
Did you make your new product the same as the proposal I gave you?
Do not change any food in the lunchbox.
Don't worry. The higher-ups like the idea too.
I think I'm getting a promotion thanks to you.
The news article will come out soon.
Good. I see.
Don't mention it.
Treat me to a meal sometime.
Okay. Bye.
Keep trying to climb up, Yeong I.
I'll do everything I can to drag you down.
(The Love in Your Eyes)
Was this it?
The way to drag Yeong I down?
How did this happen?
Did she hand her proposal over to our competitor or what?
I think that's the case.
We should still confirm the truth with her though.
This might lead to a legal issue between the companies.
Do you think you can handle that?
Ms. Lee, while preparing for the second competition,
did you meet anyone from DG Distribution?
