(Episode 5)
This is Ae Ra's earring.
Why was this in our room?
Hey, honey.
Did Ms. Joo drop by during our trip over the weekend?
Ms. Joo?
Yes.
Nonsense. It was our trip. Why would she have come?
Right?
Then why was this there?
What is it?
Why did you ask such an absurd question?
You see...
Actually, it's nothing.
I'm tired. Turn the lights off.
Ms. Jung.
Gyeo Ul?
Gyeo Ul.
Oh. Hey, Ae Ra.
Do you mind if I drink a glass of water?
No, go ahead.
No. I'll do it.
What brings you here at this hour?
The chairman left a document behind. I came to get it.
What were you thinking about?
What is it?
Do I have something on my face?
Hey, listen.
Forget it. I just had some things to ponder.
Right. I see.
- I'm off. - Bye.
What was I just thinking?
Look at these. Which do you think is better? This one or this one?
Can't you get both?
No way. That's spoiling the fun of shopping.
Come on. Pick one out for me, Ms. Joo.
Oh, Ms. Cha. Why not ask Ms. Jung to choose?
Gosh, don't even bother.
She knows nothing about shopping and has bad taste.
After all, she's from a poor family.
It takes time for someone to develop great taste.
Come now. Choose one, Ms. Joo.
Here, take a look at them.
This one. What do you think?
- It's nice with the coating. - Right?
Yes. But earrings like these are quite heavy,
so the stoppers get loose really quickly.
I lost one side of my favorite pearl earrings.
Really?
Gosh, what a waste.
It was pretty.
She lost her earring?
Does that mean this earring...
Tae Yang. What is it that you want to tell us?
I'm thinking of going out to the sea again.
What? You want to get on a vessel again?
A fishing vessel like before?
Now that I'm back, life in the city is too much for me.
I applied to several jobs but haven't heard from any of them.
Don't be in such a rush. Take some time to think.
You came back after three years. It's natural to encounter hardships.
I realized it after coming back.
That it was the perfect job for me.
I want to go back.
I'm sorry.
When will you leave?
I found one set to sail next week, so I'm joining them right away.
That soon?
What do you mean?
Se Rin.
You're leaving?
Are you serious? Is this true?
Yes.
Se Rin!
Se Rin, what are you doing?
- Let go. - Calm down.
Let go! Let go of me!
What has gotten into you?
You live your life doing whatever you want,
so I'm doing the same with mine. Let go of me!
Don't do this! Please don't do this, Se Rin!
Tae Yang, it's me, isn't it?
You're leaving because of me!
It's not like that.
It's because there is nothing I can do here!
No, liar. You're lying. No!
Let go of me!
Father, what happened was...
You will turn 60 very soon.
How come you never change?
Father, it's not like that.
My in-law kept going on...
What is it this time?
("The Analects of Confucius")
What? Father.
You gave me this to read when I broke the record...
on my credit card bill.
Goodness, Father, did you forget?
Oh my, I can't believe this.
Father, are you suffering from dementia?
You have learned nothing from the book,
so you must read it again.
All right.
When should I turn in the book report?
No, this time,
I don't need a book report.
Then?
Mom, what's wrong?
Did Grandpa give you another book report?
No, not that.
Then? He always makes you write one when you do something wrong.
Is it something else this time?
It's not a book report.
But...
But?
He wants me to turn in a transcription.
What? A transcription?
Is that a chance to get all the subscription products?
- Hey! - My gosh.
He told me to copy the book.
Copy the book?
You have to copy the entire book?
This is troublesome. So troublesome!
What is it that you want to say? It's taking you a while.
Mom.
I'm going to get a job.
What?
You're going to get a job?
What are you saying?
I'll drop out of the law school and get a regular old job.
What?
It'll be a while until I graduate,
and I have to study for the exam.
I can't continue to put my family in financial pressure.
Who says it's pressure?
No one thinks so.
Stop talking such nonsense.
I don't want to put more pressure of Gyeo Ul, Mom.
Why? Did she tell you something?
No, she's not the type who would do that.
She didn't say a word.
Then why are you saying this?
If it wasn't for me, we can live without the support of her in-laws.
They paid back your debt and let you start a restaurant.
That's more than enough.
Young Jun.
We decided to get their support, so let's bite the bullet...
and receive it just for another few years.
You've seen how Gyeo Ul has to live because of us, Mom.
She said it was a mistake.
Even Yu Jin and his mother came here to apologize.
It's all over.
It won't happen again.
I've already decided,
so that's that.
Young Jun. Young Jun!
Young Jun...
Did you have fun?
I heard the resort looks great after the renovation.
Yes, it was nice. You should go there sometime.
Okay. That's a place I should go with a boyfriend.
When will I get to go?
Gyeo Ul.
What brings you to the office?
I was passing by, then I decided to come.
You had something to say to me.
Well, actually...
Where were you last weekend?
Last weekend?
That day?
I stayed home.
I've been so tired with mountains of work lately.
- Right? - Why do you ask?
No, it's nothing.
We should grab a bite sometime. It's on me.
Thank you for helping us with Uncle Yeon Seok.
Okay, sure. Let's do that.
Anyway, I have to go. I'm really busy.
Okay.
Go home safely.
What's on your mind?
Babe, by any chance,
did your wife say anything?
Say what? Nothing in particular.
Yes, right.
Last night, she asked if you were at the resort.
She asked you that too? And?
What would I say?
I said you had no business there.
Wait, she asked you that too?
Yes, she came by the office...
and asked for what I did on the last weekend.
What? Maybe she suspects something.
There's no reason for her to be suspicious.
No, I doubt it.
I picked up this earring by chance,
and I'd like to give it back to the owner if I can.
- Let me check. One second. - Sure.
I checked the serial number, and the buyer's name is Nam Yu Jin.
Nam Yu Jin?
I don't think that's right.
No, that's the name. Nam Yu Jin.
("The Analects of Confucius")
When am I going to finish copying everything?
Darn it, this is driving me insane.
Hey! Where were you? You didn't say anything to me.
Goodness, hey!
Look at that girl.
Did she just ignore me?
Hey! You!
So Yu Jin bought these earrings,
and he gave them to Ae Ra as a gift?
Then Ae Ra lost this in my room.
That's absurd. There's no reason for her to be at the resort.
She said so too. She never came.
And Yu Jin had been with me all day long, so...
No, what am I imagining?
Nonsense. No, it can't be.
No.
The person you have reached...
She's not picking up.
Where did she go? She's not in any state to walk around.
This won't do. I'll report her missing to the police.
Se Yeon. The police accept a missing person's report...
only after 24 hours.
Then let's look for her outside.
Okay. That's a good idea.
Hold on a minute.
We don't even know where she is.
Blindly looking for her is meaningless and a waste of time.
Let's wait a bit longer, okay?
Where could she have gone?
It's not like she has any friends.
Where are the places she could be?
I'll bring her back.
Isn't it cold to be out here?
How did you know I was here?
You come here whenever you remember your late parents...
or face a problem.
You know everything about me, don't you?
Then...
you must also know how I feel.
Se Rin.
Tae Yang.
You're leaving because I like you, aren't you?
So I'm right.
Do you know why I like this place?
You often came here...
when you were frustrated or worn out.
That was why I came to like this spot.
Everything you like, I do too.
And everything you hate, I do too.
To me,
you are my whole.
That's because we grew up together...
like real siblings since we were little.
It's been almost 20 years since my mom...
started working as your housekeeper.
What's more, little sisters are like you.
They want to copy their older brothers.
You're unconsciously misinterpreting your current feelings.
"Misinterpreting?"
Se Rin. You are really dear to me, like a real little sister.
So you must find a good man who can love...
and cherish you much more than me.
No one can be better than you, Tae Yang.
That's not true. You know that very well.
And it's impossible for me now.
Why? Because of your criminal record?
Is that why you're pushing me away?
Se Rin.
I don't care about that.
And...
I know that it happened because you were trying...
to help someone.
I've always wanted to ask.
Who were you trying to save?
Let's go home. It's cold.
Everyone's worried about you.
Young Ran.
There's ink right here. Why are you making one yourself?
It'll tire you out, stupid. Use this.
I heard making ink myself...
was part of self-discipline.
Gosh, don't talk to me.
- I'm cultivating myself right now. - Okay.
Right. I get it now.
You're protesting against Grandfather, aren't you?
And this is all for show.
No, you're wrong.
Mom! You're getting it all over me.
Goodness gracious.
I'm going nuts. When will this ever end?
Mother. The food is ready.
I made your favorite braised cutlassfish.
What? Are you playing cat and mouse with me?
This is all because of her!
I'm back.
- What about dinner? - I already ate.
I'm going upstairs.
This is troublesome. So troublesome.
Honey, give me my underwear.
Honey. What is this?
Oh, you found it?
I bought it to give to you as your birthday gift...
during our trip.
But I lost one of them.
I don't know where it went.
So I just kept it with me.
Giving one side of it felt off.
Is that so?
Yes. But did you go through my jacket?
No. I was thinking of getting it dry-cleaned.
Just to be sure, Yu Jin,
did you really buy this for me?
Good grief. Then for whom would I have bought it?
Right.
So it was for me, right?
Honey, I'm thirsty. Get me a glass of juice.
Sure thing.
Like you said, she fell for it.
She totally bought my story.
You're smart as ever, Ae Ra.
What? Maybe she suspects something.
There's no reason for her to be suspicious.
No, I doubt it.
Then what's making me so anxious?
She clearly fell asleep that day, didn't she?
But I have a bad feeling as well.
Something feels off.
I can't sit still.
I'm going to tail your wife to see what she's up to.
So it was the earring?
Yu Jin. Do as I say.
I'll give you one side of an earring. Take it home with you.
Tell your wife it was for her, but you had lost one of them.
Got it?
Are you sure?
Are you going to go on a blind date?
Yes, I will. So set up a date again.
What are you staring at?
I'll do as you say, okay?
Tell me once you have the date.
What? Okay. I'll let you know after I talk to him today.
Also, I know you told Tae Yang to leave our house.
- Se Rin. - I'm not going to quibble over it.
I'm attending the blind date and giving up on Tae Yang.
So there's no reason for him to leave, right?
Tell him yourself.
I will not give up on you, Tae Yang.
I will get close to you slowly.
No matter how long it takes, I'll make sure...
I make you mine.
Gil Ja has no appetite, so we're eating by ourselves.
Hyun Tae, did you two get into a fight?
Why would we fight?
She's recently been lying there helplessly.
She won't say anything when I ask if she's sick.
Goodness, what's going on?
Young Jun, do you know anything?
No.
Menopause?
Right, maybe that's it.
Menopause?
It's around that time for her.
Gosh, my sister is already old enough for menopause.
Hyun Tae, eat up.
There's nothing we can do for her.
Honey, goodness.
Even if you don't feel like eating, you should eat something.
I don't have an appetite.
Also,
can you work at the restaurant today?
I want the day off.
Yes, of course. I'll do that.
By any chance, is there anything you want to eat?
Should we go see an oriental doctor?
Let's make you a set of tonics...
for menopause. What do you think?
Honey.
Yes, go ahead.
Do something about Young Jun.
Young Jun? What about him?
I mean, listen to this.
He's going to drop out of school and get a job.
Get a job?
What does he mean?
That's exactly what I'm wondering.
I did my best to survive to this day...
just to see Young Jun do well.
I have no will to go on.
Honey.
Please talk him out of this, will you?
Goodness.
Yes, all right.
What do you mean, pressure?
We're family. Why do you say that?
I can't be everyone's burden, not anymore, Father.
Especially to Gyeo Ul.
Goodness, no. No!
Gyeo Ul...
grew up without any trouble, thanks to your mother and you.
I couldn't do anything to make up for her mom,
but she did just that.
And you became her only and most dependable brother,
her biggest support.
Father.
If Gyeo Ul finds out you feel this way,
she will feel sad too.
Also,
I have a plan too.
I have some money in my savings account.
You won't have a problem graduating with the money I saved.
We won't have to get Gyeo Ul's help.
That's why...
you need to stop letting your mind wander.
Please just focus on your studies.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
I couldn't imagine that you would be worried...
about something like that as your father.
Don't say that, Father.
I'm sorry.
Young Jun.
I feel so reassured...
and happy to have you...
as my son.
Father.
Hey, Yu Jin.
We need to put an end to Gyeo Ul's suspicions.
Don't worry about it. Bye.
Gyeo Ul.
You're here.
Director Nam had to go to a meeting, so I came for the file instead.
- Here. - Thank you.
Hey.
What? What's wrong?
Well, those earrings.
Didn't you say you lost them last time?
I found them.
They were at home, under my vanity table.
I see.
This is it.
- I'll get going. - Okay.
- Go home safely. - Bye.
I knew something was weird. What was I thinking?
That dreadful Ms. Joo. I need to quit my job...
just to stay away from her.
Why? What happened this time?
She does everything as she pleases.
- Do you know Rich Resort? - Yes.
The employees here get to stay there as a part of our benefit, right?
She asked me to let her borrow my name.
And? Did you let her?
What else could I do?
She would become abusive if I said no.
I checked, and the resort was fully booked, so she couldn't stay.
But she did go to the restaurant and use other facilities.
We only get to stay there once a year,
so you were saving it for a trip with your boyfriend.
Tell me about it!
Anyway, she's totally annoying.
Ae Ra was at the resort?
Gyeo Ul.
Gyeo Ul, what is it?
Gyeo Ul?
Why did you lie to me?
What? Lie to you?
You said you didn't come to Rich Resort when we were there.
Why did you lie to me?
What are you talking about?
I told you that I didn't go there.
What's this?
This is...
Why?
Why did you lie to me? Why?
(Woman in a Veil)
You messed with someone you should not have messed with.
- What are you doing? - Tae Yang.
Se Rin, I don't want you to step into my business.
You dread everything that I do, don't you?
Then what's your plan?
How can you make up a lie like that?
Do you expect me to believe this?
I'm sorry, but you are no match for me.
