(Episode 88)
Come on in, Ms. Kim.
Take a seat.
Yes, sir.
I heard you were back.
I wanted to see you, so I called you here.
My wife and I were very worried.
When your father told us that you were in the hospital,
we were so shocked.
You're young and have a bright future ahead of you.
You should never do something like that.
I'm sorry for causing you concern.
I've done some thinking.
Ms. Kim.
How about you work at our branch office in China for a few years?
China? Why?
The recent incident showed me how devastated you were,
and I can't help but worry.
If you have to keep running into Kyung Jun in the office...
while working,
you'll have a hard time moving on.
And of course, working at the branch office in China...
is a great opportunity that will help your career.
Ms. Cha deserted me,
and you're trying to kick me out.
I do not want to work overseas, sir.
I'll pretend I never heard any of this.
You shouldn't turn it down right away.
Take some time and think about it.
I'm offering it to you for your own sake.
Please excuse me. I have to go to the factory in Yongin.
Hello, Ms. Kim.
How are you feeling? Are you all right?
Are you mocking me right now?
How would I be all right?
No, I am not mocking you.
I'm only asking because I'm really worried.
Seeing that you're back at work...
makes me feel a bit relieved.
Thank goodness, seriously.
My gosh. We finally got to try the braised chicken.
- Thank you for the meal. - Stop harassing me, Yeong I.
Yes, I apologized for causing you concern.
What do you mean I did it on purpose?
Don't...
Don't hound me like that. I can't breathe...
Hey, Hae Mi. Are you all right?
Ms. Kim, what are you talking about?
What's wrong with her?
Please excuse us, Yeong I.
Are you okay?
Yeong I, did you say something to her?
Did you two fight?
No. I didn't really say anything.
She suddenly started acting like that.
For no reason?
Why?
She's really something.
Here, drink this and calm down.
Thanks, Kyung Jun.
Why are you already back?
You should've taken a few days off.
How could I?
Director Jang is taking a leave of absence too.
I need to do my job.
Kyung Jun.
Mr. Jang called me to his office,
so I met with him just now.
He wants me gone.
My father?
He told me to go work at the branch office in China.
How could he do this to me?
He used to adore me, calling me his future daughter-in-law.
How could he change like this overnight?
By any chance,
did you ask him to send me there?
No, I did not.
Then, Kyung Jun.
I want to just look at you from behind,
so let me stay here.
I ask for nothing more. Please?
Kyung Jun, please.
Sir.
Evergreen University Hospital thanked us for your plan...
to establish a foundation dedicated to organ donation.
I see, well done.
From what I know, Kyung Jun has asked a few times too.
The person who donated his corneas to Kyung Jun.
You still can't find anything on this family?
That's right. The thing is...
In some cases, the donor, the recipient, or the families...
exchange letters if it's something both parties want.
In other words, it can't be done if the other party doesn't want it.
Kyung Jun really wants to find them. My goodness.
Is there anything else you'd like me to take care of?
You see, High Heels...
These days, she looks...
as if she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.
I'll find out what's up.
Okay.
- Hello, Director Jang. - Hello. Take care, Mr. Oh.
I'm home, Grandpa.
Where were you?
The office. I had to swing by.
It's good that I took this out earlier. Sit.
Here, take this.
It's a bankbook.
Why are you giving me this?
You're taking a leave of absence.
I know that you make a lot of money,
but consider it an allowance from me.
I wrote down the password on the first page.
Withdraw the money and spend it.
It's been years since the last time you gave me an allowance.
I'll keep this bankbook as a souvenir.
Thank you.
You rascal.
I'm giving you the money so you can eat out...
at nice restaurants and see lots of nice things.
Go watch some movies and...
What's that called? Musicals. Watch those and stage plays too.
Get a girlfriend and take her with you.
Even your brother is in a relationship now.
How come you're still single?
I'll think about it.
Stop thinking and act on it.
How about I take you out for dinner?
Oh, I'm meeting Yeong I for dinner.
She's taking me to a famous restaurant with 30 years of history.
Oh, that place! I know that restaurant very well.
The food there is really good.
That's great. Enjoy the food.
Oh, you've been there too?
Of course, I have.
I'm sorry, Grandpa.
(Managing Director Jang Kyung Jun)
By any chance,
did Sim Won Sub use this...
to threaten you?
No.
But maybe he threatened Mom.
Because he showed up out of the blue.
(Evergreen University Hospital, Appointment Today at 5:30pm)
It's already today?
(Sim Won Sub)
Hello?
Mr. Sim?
It's me, Kyung Jun.
Kyung Jun?
My goodness.
What's up? Why did you call me?
I have an urgent favor to ask.
Do you have some time this evening?
Okay.
I'll see you then.
I'll text you where to meet.
Hello.
My gosh.
You didn't go to work today?
You can't run your business like that.
Open and close at the exact same times every day.
That way, you can get regular customers.
Word of mouth is very important when you run a small business.
Anyway, how much do you make monthly?
Why do you want to know that?
Do Sik is still just an intern, you know.
You need to help him out a little.
An intern?
So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup has an internship program?
Gosh, I did not know that.
Anyway, why do I have to help him out?
You really don't know why?
No, I really have no idea.
Where is your mother?
In her room.
I need to talk to your mother, so just go to work.
Hello, Ms. An. I'm here.
How does Yeong I put up with her nagging?
She's already telling me what to do.
This is ridiculous.
My gosh. Please feel free to sit down.
Well...
I brought you some beef bone soup.
It's still warm. You should have some.
Thank you.
I know you were bound to find out anyway,
but you must've been shocked.
Yes.
I don't know what to do.
What can we do? We should let them get married.
The thing is, my daughter keeps saying...
she does not want to get married.
What? If she doesn't get married, what...
I mean, what's Eun Jin going to do?
It'll be embarrassing to walk around when her belly starts to show.
Well, I'll be honest.
I'm not thrilled that Do Sik wants to marry Eun Jin,
but what can I do?
They like each other, and she's pregnant now.
So we should just accept it.
Why do you not approve of Eun Jin?
Gosh, Ms. An. Please don't put it that way.
You know that Eun Jin has always been an opinionated tomboy.
She climbed every wall in the area even when she was little.
How many windows did she break?
That happened while she was playing with Do Sik.
The two of them played as if they were brothers.
So who'd want to marry their son off to her...
once they find out about it?
Right, others might think that.
But I'll be honest too.
Do Sik is such a weakling.
I feel conflicted too.
A weakling? Not at all.
Do Sik is very healthy.
If he were a weakling,
he wouldn't have been able to get her pregnant at once.
My goodness.
I'm talking about his competence, not physical strength.
I heard he dropped out of college.
He never sees anything through to the end.
I know times have changed,
but a man must be capable enough to support his wife and children...
unless he has enough money saved up...
What? I don't appreciate the way you put it.
Everything we own will become Do Sik's when we die.
You think he's not capable enough?
By then, the twins would be all grown up,
and they'd be old enough to support themselves.
So why does that even matter?
Twins?
Eun Jin is having twins?
No one told you yet?
My gosh. What was she thinking, conceiving twins...
What? Are you saying it's my daughter's fault?
If you do not like her that much...
Fine. They're not getting married!
What? I was just...
Why is she being so difficult? It's their loss.
Fine! They're not getting married.
My goodness.
Gosh.
I can't believe this.
Goodness.
What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be working?
I heard you and Eun Jin's mom were talking.
I came over because I was curious.
Goodness.
You two are not getting married!
My goodness. That is what I wanted to say.
Don't even dream of it!
What is happening?
What's with them?
What are you waiting for? Come with me.
Mom! It hurts.
- It hurts, Mom! Eun Jin! - Come here.
Eun Jin!
- Come on. Let's go! - Gosh, I'm so stressed out.
Oh, dear.
Son, I'm truly impressed.
You got her pregnant with twins.
- What? She's having twins? - Yes, apparently.
There are no twins in the family.
Does Eun Jin's family have twins?
This is fascinating.
Fascinating, my foot.
Her family doesn't want them to get married.
- Her mom is against it, Mother. - Why?
Her mom said Do Sik was incompetent and penniless.
She basically described him as a complete loser.
Honey, why are you all quiet?
Mother, doesn't it make you angry?
Well, she's not entirely wrong.
To be frank, she's right.
Mother really said that? She won't let us get married?
You fool. "Mother?" Why are you calling her like that?
Didn't you hear what she said? She won't let you two get married!
Mom, why did you ruin everything when you should be helping me?
She started it!
I can just picture what happened.
She only said that because you upset her.
She's like a living Buddha.
I bet you said things that upset her!
Whatever. If I can't get married, it's all on you!
You will get married!
Just wait. They'll call us and apologize.
It's their loss.
Uncle Do Sik, does it mean...
there are two babies in Auntie Eun Jin's belly?
Yes.
But you and Auntie Eun Jin can't get married?
No, I guess not.
"Penniless?" Does it mean you have no money?
That's right.
Right, you lost money in stocks.
Don't rub salt into my wound.
Here.
What is this?
Why are you giving me this?
You can take it all. I'll give you my piggy bank too.
Take the money and marry Auntie Eun Jin.
Mi Ri Nae, this isn't enough...
Yes, I'll be sure to marry Eun Jin.
I'll make sure Eun Jin...
becomes your real aunt.
This is my new lunchbox proposal.
Please go through it and let me know what should be tweaked.
I'll do my best to make it better.
Are you sure this was your idea?
- Pardon me? - Not the managing director's?
No, I came up with the idea on my own.
Why bring this to me? Go to your boyfriend.
Oh, did he already approve this?
Are you showing me this for formality's sake?
Ms. Kim, you're out of line.
This is work. Such a personal issue...
Yes, I hope you can draw a clear line between the two as well.
I was just cracking a joke out of concern.
Why are you so on edge?
Just say no if he didn't help you.
I'll need some time to go through this.
Okay.
Can I see you for a minute?
You should not step out unless it's for something...
related to work.
This isn't your playground.
(Kyung Jun)
I don't think I can step out right now, Kyung Jun.
(Food Product Development Team)
(Yeong I)
I'm leaving the office to take care of something.
I'll go straight home from there.
I guess I won't get to see you today.
Take it easy.
(Yeong I)
I told you that you didn't have to tag along.
I just had to check in on my patient whom I had transferred here.
Why did you tag along?
Because the thread always follows the needle.
Also, I wanted to know how that kid was doing.
I always wondered if the treatment was going well...
and hoped he'd recover soon.
You're sweet.
Why don't you take your sweet employee out for dinner?
We're done for the day anyway.
- Shall we? - Yes.
- Let's go. - Okay!
The intraocular pressure is within the normal range.
The test results don't show anything out of the ordinary.
But stress could trigger headaches again,
like last time.
So I'll prescribe you some headache medicine.
Sure, sounds good.
Chairman Jang called me.
I'll contact the donor's family...
and ask them if they wish to exchange letters with you.
They politely declined when I asked them initially,
but a lot of time has passed since then,
so they might have changed their mind about it.
From what I've heard, some donors and recipients exchange letters.
Even if it's just once.
I really want to meet them...
and express my gratitude.
Please help me, Professor Choi.
I'm relieved.
(Ophthalmology)
Hey, brother-in-law!
Hey, Do Young.
Hello, Dr. Kang.
"Brother-in-law?"
He will be Yeong I's husband, so he's my future brother-in-law.
What are you two doing here?
Oh, we came to check in on a kid we had transferred to this hospital.
What about you? What brings you here?
Are you sick?
Mr. Jang, do you have a health concern?
I had to come in for my regular checkup.
A regular checkup with an ophthalmologist?
You must have poor eyesight.
Not really.
We're going out for dinner.
Let's ask Yeong I if she's done for the day.
How about we all have dinner together?
Oh, I have plans.
Yeong I also said she had plans for dinner.
Enjoy your dinner, you two.
You heard that too, right? He told us to enjoy our dinner.
Let's go, Eun Ho.
- Okay. - Let's go eat something nice.
These should be dry-cleaned.
Is there anything in the pockets?
No.
What is this? Hold on, honey.
Did you take the ferry this afternoon?
What?
Oh, that.
One of my VIP clients wanted to meet me there for a consultation.
Who meets on the ferry for a consultation?
The client said he hadn't been to the Han River in so long.
He wanted to take the ferry,
so I went with him.
I bet you nearly froze to death.
Are you sure you went there with a client? Not a woman?
You're at it again?
Right, your daughter nearly died.
You won't go out and meet another woman if you have a heart.
Just tell me to quit my job and stay at home if you don't trust me.
What are you talking about? You're still young.
You should be promoted to vice president at the very least.
That way, we can marry Hae Mi off to a good family...
even if things don't work out with Kyung Jun.
Stay put.
Wait.
The campaign is tomorrow. You have to leave early, right?
What? Yes.
Make me some gimbap in the morning.
I can either go hiking or go to the park and eat it.
Eat out with your staff.
It'd be nice to take them out for a meal after the campaign.
You shouldn't eat alone in your office.
You're right. Okay.
Oh, right. Your father told me...
that you were seeing someone.
Are you planning to marry her soon?
Yes, I want to.
How long have you two been together?
Not long.
Come on. In that case,
you should decide carefully.
Marriage is one of the most important events in your life.
Date her for a long time and make sure you know everything about her.
Only marry her when you know for sure she's the one.
Listen to your elders because they're never wrong, you know?
It depends on who the "elder" is.
- What? - It's none of your business.
You said you had a favor to ask.
That was rude.
Anyway, what did you want to ask?
What do you want?
What do you mean?
There must be a reason you showed up in front of my family again.
What are you talking about?
I had to visit Seoul for work, so I thought...
I should visit Mr. Jang and Ms. Cha to say hello...
Oh, right.
I wasn't asking Mr. Sim, the driver.
I was asking Se Jun's biological father.
How did you find out?
Let me ask you one more time.
Do you want money?
Or...
did you show up to finally be there for Se Jun as his biological father?
If it's not that either,
do you just...
want Se Jun to acknowledge you as his father?
Is that it?
I can't expect him to accept me...
as his father after all this time. That'd be shameless.
There's nothing I can do for him.
That leaves me with only one reason.
Money.
I've really been struggling, Kyung Jun.
Leave the country.
I'll help you settle down in another country.
This is...
the last time I'm showing consideration...
for my brother's biological father.
Leave...
and do not show up in front of my family again.
Do you understand?
"My family?"
Right.
You deserve peace.
Jang Kyung Jun.
You are...
about to break that peace with your own hands.
When you find out...
who your girlfriend really is,
you will be very surprised.
I want peace too.
You want peace?
Does that mean you'll do as I say?
Yes.
I heard what you said. I'll think about it.
But...
you're mistaken about something. You see,
I do not want...
to make Se Jun's life difficult at all, so don't worry.
That doesn't change the fact...
that I'm his incompetent biological father...
who showed up to ask for money, but he is...
my son, my blood.
I have to get going.
I have to go back to the office.
How arrogant.
Anyway, Cha Yoon Hee...
This means she has no way out.
It's me.
We've got a problem.
Kyung Jun...
What do you mean?
What do you mean he knows everything?
(The Love in Your Eyes)
A cornea transplant?
Do Jin donated his.
What a coincidence.
The foundation called us a few times.
They said the recipient wanted to meet us.
He must be so grateful to the donor.
I understand why he's curious.
You should return the call.
So the two of you have kept in touch and stayed this close?
While deceiving the family?
You hurt Se Jun more than anyone else.
He is...
He's my father-in-law.
Director Jang, are you all right?
