(Episode 29)
Soo Chul,
come to the US with me.
Join me and Ms. Park.
Ms. Kim.
This is out of the blue.
You want me to come with you to the US?
I can no longer imagine a life without you.
You're the reason why I'm still breathing,
so please continue to stay by my side.
Come to the US with me.
Yesterday's events must've triggered this,
and it's true...
that I began to have feelings for you.
I had the audacity...
to have feelings for someone out of my league.
Those feelings were the reason behind yesterday's events.
However, gratitude and respect...
were first and foremost. That's all it was for me.
I crossed the line with my actions,
and I apologize for that.
This is where I'd like to end things.
No.
It wasn't a mistake,
and we have feelings for one another.
This isn't how I want to end things.
I like you...
a lot.
Ms. Kim.
I can't go to the US with you.
I'm the breadwinner of my family.
I have a family to support.
It is just ridiculous...
that a man like me has feelings for you.
Ms. Kim.
You were just lonely with no one around,
so you must've developed feelings for me for a moment.
Ms. Kim.
Please, you must be strong.
I'm really sorry.
Please excuse me. I should get going.
Hello?
Mr. Lee, it's me.
Hello, Ms. Park. What are you calling about?
Mr. Lee, you're on your lunch break, right?
If you have time, could I bother you for some tea?
I have something to say.
Well...
I'm sorry, Ms. Park. I have a lot to catch up on.
I'm in a meeting now. I'm stuck here.
I have to go. I'll talk to you later.
Well... I was in a meeting.
I was out to get some fresh air, so I'm really busy.
But now that we're here,
I'll hear what it is you have to say.
Mr. Lee, about what you said to me last night...
Do you still not remember that?
No, I don't.
What did I tell you?
Well, I do remember.
So, I'll tell you everything you told me last night.
No. It's no use talking about it when I don't even remember.
And you're not supposed to talk about what happened after drinking.
It's like an unwritten law.
Last night, you said...
you still liked me.
That your heart is crammed full of me.
And that...
you regretted getting engaged.
Did I say such things?
Yes.
I guess I got drunk and talked nonsense.
I'm sorry that I confused you.
I want you to forget...
what I said last night.
No, Mr. Lee.
Even though you were drunk last night,
I believe you really meant all that.
So I'm going to muster up the courage.
Courage for what?
Actually,
it's my fault that things turned out this way.
When you were your 22-year-old self, you said you liked me.
And you said you would break off your engagement if I wanted.
So you asked me to come to Mount Nam.
You wanted to call off your engagement if I showed up.
Did I say that?
Yes.
But...
I didn't go.
I thought you were two-timing me...
before you lost your memories.
And I didn't want you to call off your engagement because of me.
So, that day,
I went to Mount Nam,
but I turned around and left.
And I still regret...
what I did that day.
But now I know that you weren't two-timing me.
So if you still have feelings for me,
I want to muster up my courage.
Ms. Park.
I think you know...
that I'm not in a position to talk about things like this with you.
I got drunk and did something inappropriate.
I'm really sorry, Ms. Park.
Please forget all about what I said last night.
I have a meeting to attend, so I should get going.
Get home safely.
Se Chan.
You shouldn't do that around your brother.
He's copying your behavior.
You should eat a well-balanced meal.
She's right. Children, listen to Ms. Cho.
She'll soon be your mother.
You should get along with her.
I'm so happy that Ms. Cho is sitting with us.
It feels like the table is full.
Don't you think so, Jae Ni?
Jae Ni, you're supposed to say, "Please excuse me."
Your grandma is still eating.
Can you be any more annoying?
Jae Ni, how could you say such a thing to your elders?
It's all right, Ms. Wang.
It's fine, Jae Ni. Go to your room.
My goodness.
I need to do something about her manners.
She's just plain rude.
My goodness.
What's wrong? What was that noise?
My gosh. Sa Ra.
Gosh, Sa Ra. What happened?
What is going on?
I slipped on these banana peels.
I mean, what's all this?
Why are there banana peels everywhere?
I don't know.
It must be Se Chan.
I bet he did this on purpose.
You can't be serious.
I guess the kids were playing with them and dropped a few.
No. I'm sure Se Chan did it on purpose. I'll teach him a lesson.
Wait, Ms. Wang. Please let me take care of this.
My gosh. Look at her.
Is it because they don't want Sa Ra to be their mom?
What should we do?
My goodness.
Well... Se Chan.
You know what?
When I saw Ms. Cho slip and fall,
I was terrified.
Actually, I feel the same way.
We should never do something like this again.
Okay. We should never do that.
Se Chan.
The banana peels. It was your doing, wasn't it?
You.
Follow me.
What do we do now?
Se Chan!
Why are you doing this to me?
Do you hate me that much?
Do you want me to slip on the banana peels and die?
No.
I just wanted you to get sick of our house...
and leave here.
That's why I did it.
But how could you do such a thing with your younger brother, Se Jong?
This is a crime.
Do you want me...
to call the police and put you behind bars?
No.
If you keep behaving badly like this,
you'll end up in a fiery pit when you die.
A ghost or a goblin will take you there.
Se Chan.
Please don't do this to Se Chan.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay, Se Jong.
Why are you here, Se Jong?
Se Chan, you're in the wrong, so stay and think of what you did.
Se Jong, come with me.
I want to stay here too!
Se Chan will be scared on his own.
Fine. Then you can stay as well.
Se Chan.
I'm scared.
What if a goblin appears?
It's so scary in here.
Ms. Cho, help us!
Save us, Ms. Cho!
I'm scared!
Help us!
I'm sorry for what I did!
I'm sorry!
Are you really sorry? Do you feel bad?
Yes. I'm sorry.
I won't do it again.
If you do it again, I will really scold you harshly.
Okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
(Eat fried chicken and cheer up.)
It's so good.
- Se Ryeon. - Yes?
Drink this and slow down. You'll get sick.
After one more drumstick.
- Is it good? - Yes.
I feel much better now.
We had a huge lunchtime rush,
and I didn't get to eat lunch. I was so hungry.
Se Ryeon.
You can't eat on time and have to work.
Do you like me that much? Isn't it hard?
Will you stop it? It's not hard. I said it's not, okay?
How often must you ask?
Seeing you have a hard time makes me feel bad.
It's not just me having a hard time. You work just as hard.
Doesn't having me around make you feel better?
That's how I feel.
It's fun.
Honey. That look...
What do you want to do?
What are you doing with that drumstick?
- My gosh. - Se Ryeon.
- You have chicken on your face. - I do?
- It's so good. - You're silly.
- Be careful. - I got crumbs on my face.
What a surprise.
Keep still, I can't see properly.
- Did you get it? - Yes.
My goodness. What did I just see?
The chicken is so good.
Here's this month's living expenses.
Thank you.
I'm not sure if I should just take what you give each month.
I will help you out like this until your business settles down.
Make sure Soo Chul and Dae Bum keep their spirits up.
Cook them lots of good food.
And make sure Soo Chul and Dae Bum always have extra allowance.
A man's confidence comes from a fat wallet.
That way, your business will boom.
You're right.
It hasn't rained in a while. Your house must be dry.
It is, but we have to move in the spring,
and I'm worried about that.
Next year, they'll demolish our house to build something else.
I don't know where to move to.
I see.
My friend will move in a year's time.
Try to stay where you are until then.
I will.
I hope the redevelopment plans are put off until my friend moves.
Me too.
Sorry.
Yes, Mom.
Why?
Okay, I'll be back soon.
Bye.
You should go. You must be busy.
I think I should. It's about the restaurant.
Okay. Go ahead.
- Bye, Mi Sook. - Bye.
- Thank you. - I won't see you out.
- That's fine. - Take care.
He looks after her old mom, her single brother, and a niece.
How many extra people does my brother have to feed?
How does she manage to accept it without once saying no?
No, forget it.
She gave us Dae Bum, the firstborn son of the family.
What can't I do for her?
No. I'm okay with it.
Mom, was someone here?
Mom.
Can you make me some ramyeon?
Where's your conscience?
How dare you ask me that?
Cook it yourself!
I can't stand seeing you.
I love you, Mom.
She gave me over 10,000 dollars in just three months.
I'll save it for Dae Bum's wedding.
Shall we have Korean beef for dinner?
I don't know this number. Who could it be?
Hello?
What could you have to say to me?
I need to ask for a difficult favor.
Ask for a favor? From me?
I own a clothing business in the US.
I came to Korea...
to launch a new line with FT Group.
Oh, I see.
I'm in the final stages of that,
so I will return to the US in three months.
And when I do, Ms. Park,
your daughter Park Dan Dan agreed to come with me.
What? Dan Dan?
She didn't mention that.
I guess she didn't because there's still some time.
I decided to scout Ms. Park to work for me,
and I'd like...
Mr. Park Soo Chul, your husband, to come with us as well.
What?
My husband too?
Yes.
When he was a security guard at my complex,
he helped me out with a lot of things.
He's a good worker and a diligent one too,
so I offered him a job with me as well.
Oh, I see.
But if he's to live in the US, he'll need money for lodgings.
I don't know how much you'll pay,
but he can't go unless it's worth the move.
I'll provide lodgings and a car.
I'm thinking of an annual salary of at least 100,000 dollars.
At least 100,000 dollars?
How much is that in Korean currency?
At the current exchange rate, it'll be...
around 110 million won.
What? Did you say 110 million won?
My gosh.
Did your dad go far?
He should be back... Here he is.
Honey, come here.
Come and sit down.
What is the fuss about?
I just met Anna Kim.
You met whom?
She was here?
No.
She called the restaurant...
and asked Mom for my number.
So we met and...
That's not the issue.
Honey.
I heard Ms. Kim offered you a job but you refused.
Why would you refuse such a great deal?
She'll pay at least 100,000 dollars.
How can I leave when we just opened this restaurant?
Why would you worry about that?
There's Dae Bum, me, and Mom too.
Think about it.
She said she'll provide a place to stay and a car.
Honey, do you know how much 100,000 dollars is?
It's 115 million won in our currency.
Dad, don't worry about this place.
Even I think it's a great offer.
Honey.
Just...
go to the US for about five years.
With the money you earn, we'll be able to buy a house...
and live a normal life.
We might even be able to visit the US thanks to you.
That's enough. I'm not going, so don't mention this again.
But honey!
Mom, what's with him?
How can he not go because of this restaurant?
Tell me about it.
Especially when he's being offered 100,000 dollars a year.
Grandmother, Mother! I bought hotteok!
I can't believe him!
- Se Ryeon, just sit. - What...
- Can you believe it, Mom? - It's nothing.
Did you buy hotteok?
You and that appetite of yours.
It's delicious, you know.
You're never full, are you?
You probably know why I'm here.
Are you very angry with me?
Ms. Kim,
why are you being this way?
Why did you meet my wife and tell her about the job offer...
when I already declined?
Because no matter how I think about it,
I just can't live without you.
The last thing I want is to break up your family.
Can't you...
just be there for me?
Ms. Kim.
You're not wrong.
I have gotten weaker.
I may have recovered after the surgery,
but...
I can't move forward without you there to guide me.
My life in the US...
has been incredibly lonely.
I had to endure everything...
without family or anyone to lean on.
So being with you brought happiness into my life.
I have never met anyone...
quite like you before.
I know...
you like me too.
So join me.
Ms. Kim.
Why on earth are you hung up on someone like me?
You of all people know that I am a worthless man.
Hardly. You're the one...
who gave me the strength to live.
You mean so much to me.
Ms. Kim, please.
I have made myself clear.
I'm not going with you.
Take care, Ms. Kim.
And please do not contact my wife...
ever again.
(Dakgalbi in the Woods)
You wanted to grab dinner, but here you are downing drinks.
Let's just enjoy our time.
Lay your worries on me.
What's up?
Jung Woo,
it seems to me...
like everything has gone sideways.
This is because of your engagement, isn't it?
Although I had no recollection of it,
I doubt it was forced upon me.
It's why I tried to make it work with Ms. Cho.
I may currently not have any feelings for her,
but I must've liked her during the past three months...
to have gone through with the engagement.
With that in mind,
I was going to do the right thing.
You're admirable, Young Guk.
How can you think that way when you have no memory of it?
But as time passes,
I just don't think it's right.
I don't think...
I can get married to her.
However,
I can't break off the engagement for selfish reasons either.
Jung Woo.
No, Lawyer Ko.
What would you do if you were me?
Well,
here's the thing, Young Guk.
No one bets their life on something they don't recall.
It's an easy matter for me.
If I were you,
I'd go where my heart takes me.
What you don't remember doesn't exist for you.
Your current emotions shape your reality.
My current emotions...
shape my reality?
Also, I don't know if this will be of help,
but you didn't look happy at your engagement party.
If you want to break things off, go ahead.
Some will say that you're irresponsible.
But...
even those who marry and have children out of love...
still get divorced.
The truth is that you're unhappy,
so who cares about a broken engagement?
Let's drink.
Mr. Lee.
Have you been drinking again?
Yes, I have.
But...
I won't lie like I did before...
about not remembering what I said.
Mr. Lee...
I'm engaged to another woman,
so I was ashamed of saying such irresponsible words.
That's why I lied about not remembering.
Things are already hard on you,
so I apologize...
for only confusing you even more.
Thank you for being honest with me.
But I understand why you're like this...
because I know the whole story now.
Mr. Lee, I said that I'd wait.
Do you remember what I said?
I said I'd wait until you can proudly say...
that I'm your girlfriend.
Ms. Park...
So...
this is a situation...
I can also be patient with.
I know how you feel about me,
so I'll wait.
Se Chan.
Se Chan...
Se Jong, what's wrong?
Se Chan.
I wet my bed.
What?
In my dream, I saw a fiery pit, a goblin, and a ghost.
I was so scared that I wet my bed.
Se Chan.
I'm too scared to sleep.
It's okay. It'll be all right.
Don't cry.
It's okay.
You'll be all right.
Se Chan.
Se Jong.
Why are you guys not in bed?
It's nothing, Ms. Park. You should head back inside.
What's with the comforter?
It's dirty, so I'm swapping it for a new one.
Is that so? Then let me do it for you.
- Let me. - No!
Se Jong?
Ms. Park,
I wet the bed.
Se Jong, it's okay.
You must've had a nightmare.
Yes, one with a fiery pit, a goblin, and a ghost.
That's what scared him.
Se Jong, what's wrong?
Ms. Park, what's going on?
Se Jong, was the dream that terrifying?
Yes.
A goblin chased me around, so I ran from it.
But then a ghost came out and grabbed me.
It dragged me to a fiery pit.
Goodness. That must've been terrifying.
Dad, I'm seven and a big boy now,
so I'm sorry for wetting the bed.
Don't be.
I wet the bed until I was eight, you know.
Really?
Of course.
What about you, Ms. Park?
Well, in my case...
I wet the bed until I was in third grade.
I also got caught many times by my dad...
while trying to change my sheets.
Se Jong, are you sure you don't want to sleep in my bed?
Yes, I'm okay now.
I'm fine.
Then go ahead and close your eyes.
I'll be here until you fall asleep.
You should go to bed as well. Good job tonight.
Right. Good night.
Se Chan, why are you back out here? I thought you went to bed.
I'm too frustrated and upset to sleep.
Se Chan, what's wrong?
Se Jong only wet his bed because of Ms. Cho!
What do you mean?
Se Jong and I left a trail of banana peels...
in front of her room,
and she slipped and fell on them...
as she was exiting it.
- Really? - Yes.
But Ms. Cho took us...
to the storage room in the basement...
and said that we would be thrown into a fiery pit...
if we did bad things...
and that ghosts and goblins would come after us.
She then turned off the lights...
and tried to lock us inside.
What? Did that really happen?
Yes.
I don't care how upset she was.
How could she lock them in the basement?
And how could she say those things to them?
What is wrong with this woman?
Ms. Park.
You sure are audacious.
How dare you make your senior come to you?
Talking about this at home would put you in a tight spot.
That's why I asked to see you here.
Something to put me in a tight spot? I'm curious what that might be.
So tell me.
Ms. Cho,
I don't care how upset you were about the banana peels.
It doesn't mean you can lock them in the basement.
Se Chan and Se Jong are still quite young.
I'm not condoning their actions,
but you shouldn't lock them in the basement...
or traumatize them with scary ideas.
Please do not treat them this way again.
What in the...
What did I just hear?
Ms. Park, what game are you playing with me?
How you treated them could be interpreted as child abuse.
Child abuse?
How dare you speak to me this way...
when you're nothing but a live-in tutor?
I had to see a doctor because of what Se Chan did.
He should be glad I wasn't seriously injured.
This isn't something one should ignore.
All you had to do was strictly tell them off.
Did you have to drag them to the basement,
turn off the lights, and lock them down there?
Se Jong was so terrified that he wet his bed at night.
If you truly care for these children,
you wouldn't have punished them this way.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't discipline them in such a manner.
Hey, you. Who are you to accuse me...
of not caring about the children?
Ms. Cho, you should choose your words carefully.
As if I'm in the mood to play nice.
It seems as though you aren't aware of what's going on,
but I'll soon be the children's mother.
I will discipline them as I please...
whether you like it or not.
Saying harsh words and locking them in the basement...
are my ways of disciplining them,
so know your place and stay out of it. Got it?
Ms. Cho.
Please...
I'm begging you.
Care for them with love.
I'll head back home then.
You're leaving after pushing my buttons like this?
Hey, I'm not done with you.
Let go of me.
No way. You asked for it today.
Don't you hurt me like that ever again.
Not even being the chairman's wife...
will give you the right to hurt me.
Do you hear me?
I won't back out from a fight anymore.
There are no guilty feelings when it comes to Ms. Cho.
I won't ever let a woman like that take care of Mr. Lee...
and the children.
I'm done hiding my feelings.
And I'll always be there for the kids.
Ms. Park, what...
Mr. Lee.
Ms. Park?
Mr. Lee,
I'm done being patient with you.
I'm going to like you as I please.
If liking you comes with consequences,
then I'll gladly face them all.
Now, no one can stop me...
from loving you. Even you can't stop me.
Here. Have some hot tea.
Thank you.
You worked so hard cleaning up the store.
- Have some cookies too. - Okay.
Wait. My goodness.
Your hands are frozen.
This won't do.
Here. Put some hand cream on them.
Thank you.
Did you wash the rag by hand?
You should wear rubber gloves next time.
Otherwise, your hands will get rough.
It's all right.
By the way,
when did you start living at Soo Chul's...
with your grandma and uncle?
Well... When I was in eighth grade.
Grandma was old, so she couldn't find a job.
That's when Mr. Park...
I mean, Uncle asked us to move in with them.
Did you say Mr. Park?
Do you mean Soo Chul?
Pardon?
Yeon Sil, I heard your marriage with Soo Chul is your second.
And Dae Bum isn't Soo Chul's biological son.
What? How did you hear about that?
Why did you not tell me about your marriage and Dae Bum?
Every time I saw Dae Bum,
I called him the firstborn son of the family.
How could you not say anything about that?
How could you fool me like that?
And how could you take money from me every time?
Mi Sook, I didn't fool you. I just didn't tell you about it.
And it's not like I asked you for money.
You just gave it to me because you wanted to.
My goodness. I can't believe this.
Mi Sook, speaking of which,
are you really upset that you gave us some money?
After you lost Soo Chul, you must've taken all the money...
that his parents left to him.
My gosh. Yeon Sil!
So I thought you gave us the money because you felt bad about it.
Yeon Sil!
Are you saying I took all the inheritance...
our parents left us?
Is that why you took all the money I offered?
Listen, Yeon Sil.
How could you say such a thing?
It's my husband...
who made all the money and left it to me.
And I supported my parents myself.
But how could you say such a thing to me?
What is she talking about?
Did you accept money from my sister?
What?
Well...
I'm sorry, Mi Sook.
So why did you give her money?
I didn't...
want you to have a hard time.
I did it for your sake.
I didn't know she thought of it that way.
Mi Sook, I'm fine.
I'll tell you if I'm having a hard time.
So you don't have to give her money again.
By the way, Soo Chul, why did you not tell me...
that you got remarried...
and that Dae Bum wasn't your biological son?
Mi Sook,
does it even matter?
Dae Bum is my son too.
Why doesn't it matter?
My gosh.
Are you good-hearted or just foolish?
I mean, why do you live like this?
You work yourself to the bone to support your wife's family.
Forget it.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
This is so upsetting.
Honey.
How could you take money from my sister without telling me?
How dare you...
talk about inheritance from my parents?
I opened the restaurant with Mi Sook's help.
Don't you have a conscience?
She's rich, so I thought...
she inherited her wealth from your parents.
That's why I said such things.
But there's no need to get upset.
It was just a misunderstanding.
And it's not like I can turn down the money she offers.
You should've at least told me!
If I did, you would've gotten all worked up and stopped me.
We had no money, so I needed it to run a household.
What?
I had to take the money because I had no other choice.
Don't you even feel sorry for me?
When we are living in a shabby house like this,
what's the big deal about taking that money?
What?
You're the head of this family.
How long are you going to make us live in a house with a leaky roof?
If you go to the States and hold out for five years,
we will be able to buy a small house in the suburbs.
So why won't you go?
What is the reason you don't want to go?
Go to the US and earn money for us!
Then I won't have to ask Mi Sook for money!
How could you...
Do you think I enjoy asking others for money?
If I could go to the US, I would go right away!
I'm serious!
Gosh.
Darn it.
Seven.
("Hahaha Song")
Those days
Where everything makes you cry
Try singing this song
(Chairman Lee Young Guk)
Dad, I'm sending this to you hoping it will cheer you up.
I want you to join us next time.
La-la-la-la
Throw that regret into the sky
La-la-la-la
Start a new life
A lowly attitude
Doesn't suit you
Hold your head up high, my friend
This is just the beginning.
La-la-la-la, in your heart
Hello, Ms. Cho.
Mr. Lee. Can you meet me for dinner tonight?
I found a good restaurant.
I'm sorry, Ms. Cho. I have a lot of work to do.
Maybe next time.
Okay.
I'm his fiancee, but he never asks me out once.
And now he even rejects me.
What a jerk.
What if he calls off our engagement?
No. As far as I know, he would never do such a thing.
No.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Sa Ra.
I hear you're engaged.
What?
I thought you looked somewhat different.
You'll soon be the wife of FT Group's chairman.
You're covered in luxury items.
You're rolling in money.
Let go of it.
So how could you not give me a measly 10,000 dollars?
After how much I begged you?
I also bought you clothes, cosmetics,
and even those designer bags that you're crazy about.
Do you not remember how nice I was to you?
Let go of me.
So let me cut to the chase.
Give me 30,000 dollars.
You'll soon be marrying the chairman of FT Group.
Isn't that chump change?
Let go.
Let go of me! What are you doing?
Lend me 30,000 dollars.
Hey. Let her go.
Why do you keep...
You did nothing and he punched you?
Yes.
Detective. I will never settle.
Can't two people just talk?
I met my ex for a chat.
Does he have the right to punch me until I bleed?
Punks who beat others up need to do a stint in prison.
I'll say it again.
I will not settle with him.
I got the money.
Thanks, Sa Ra.
This wouldn't have happened if you had paid up sooner.
Don't show up again.
Okay, I won't.
Ms. Cho Sa Ra, FT Group's chairman's fiancee.
Congratulations again on your engagement.
Take care.
That darned scumbag.
Are you all right?
I blew things out of proportion.
I apologize.
Don't say that.
I wanted to punch him within an inch of his life,
but you did that for me.
I felt so liberated.
What?
Let's go. I'll buy you tofu.
Let's go, then.
We're here.
Yes.
Go on inside.
Ms. Cho. What are you doing?
Mister. There are...
just two people I feel guilty towards in this world.
You are one of them.
I didn't do anything to feel bad about anyone,
but I feel so bad about what I did to you.
You don't have to feel bad for me.
I'm fine, so go on home.
It's not fine.
I'm such a terrible loser...
with no conscience.
So why won't you take it out on me?
That's why I feel even worse.
What am I...
to take it out on you?
It's late.
Goodbye.
Hey. Who is that guy?
What does he do?
I don't know. He's a stranger.
What?
I saw you hug him...
and you say he's a stranger?
Who hugged whom?
He just brought me home from a bar.
That's all.
You're out of your mind. What if someone saw you?
Hey. Sa Ra.
Tell the truth.
- Mr. Lee. - My gosh.
What are you doing here?
Were you waiting for me?
No. Why would I be waiting for you?
I just...
put Se Jong to bed, and I felt hungry,
so I was going to the store to get some ramyeon.
Then why do you look so cold?
You're almost frozen.
I'm not.
It's cold. Go inside.
No. Come with me.
I'll buy you cup noodles.
Cup noodles?
Didn't you have dinner?
I was busy with work, and I missed out.
Don't mind me.
Some people skip dinner to lose weight.
No, Mr. Lee. You can't sleep if you're hungry.
Come with me. It's my treat.
Ms. Park.
You really don't feel cold?
I don't feel cold at all now that I'm with you.
Isn't it tasty?
It is.
It's because you're eating with me.
Let's say so.
Mr. Lee.
You're the chairman of a large company,
and I always buy you ice cream or cup noodles.
Don't you think that's not fair?
But you offered to treat me.
I was going to pay earlier,
but you insisted on paying yourself.
Then...
if you feel that embarrassed,
buy me pork cutlet.
Pork cutlet?
Okay.
You promised.
Pinky swear.
I won't ask you to treat me tomorrow.
I'll wait until you want to treat me.
Even if it's a year later.
It's so hard to get you to buy me pork cutlet.
I'll just eat the noodles that I bought with my money.
Can I eat too?
Yes.
Eat this too.
I paid for it as well.
(Ms. Anna Kim)
(New text message)
It's me.
It's Anna.
I feel terrible, Soo Chul.
Please take me to the hospital.
Ms. Kim.
My goodness.
Aren't you supposed to look after her?
She can't skip out on food and her medication like this.
It'll ruin her chances of a good prognosis.
She could get worse?
The patient seems to have lost her drive...
which is why it's up to those around her to help.
I made porridge with broccoli. Please have some.
You need to eat well to gain strength.
I couldn't be bothered.
You may leave now, Mr. Park.
Your condition will worsen if you don't eat.
So please have a bite.
I'll take care of myself.
So you may leave.
It's not like you care about what happens to me.
Fine!
I'll...
stay by your side.
I'll be there for you.
I'll even go to the US with you,
so please eat something.
I'll be by your side.
We'll go to the US together.
- Here you go, Ms. Park. - Right.
Ms. Kim, did something good happen?
You're beaming.
Is that so?
I have been eating and sleeping well lately.
Ms. Park, I have exciting news.
I wonder if you already know.
Regarding what?
Didn't your father tell you?
Sorry?
I see he hasn't gotten around to it.
Well, when we head out to the States,
he'll be joining us.
Really? My dad?
You'll find it easier to adjust with him there.
I need more people I can trust...
which is why I offered him the job.
He has helped me a lot, you see.
Wouldn't it be fun to go there together?
Right.
Gosh.
Ms. Kim,
I'm afraid I must ask for your understanding.
I don't think...
I can go to the US with you.
Ms. Park...
You already agreed,
so why can't you come with me?
(Chairman Lee Young Guk)
If I were you,
I'd go where my heart takes me.
What you don't remember doesn't exist for you.
Your current emotions shape your reality.
Ms. Park, it's me.
Yes, Mr. Lee.
Ms. Park,
what do you say...
to pork cutlet for lunch?
Yes! I'm in!
Ms. Park,
I didn't realize you loved pork cutlet so much.
Come in.
Anna.
This is out of the blue.
I had something urgent to talk about.
Could we talk?
Sure. Please have a seat.
Young Guk, you know how Ms. Park agreed to go to the US with me.
I offered her a job, remember?
What are you talking about?
You and Ms. Park...
are going to the States?
Yes, when I return there three months from now,
she was going to come with me...
and work at my company.
I'm sure Ms. Park told you this.
You let her take English classes during her break.
I did?
Well, this is all news to me.
Of course. You don't remember what happened during that time.
Anyway, she agreed to go to the States with me,
but she doesn't want to go anymore.
She wants to stay for Jae Ni, Se Chan, and Se Jong.
What? Is that what she said?
Yes, and that's why I came to see you.
You may be able to replace her with another tutor,
but she's a young lady at the age of 27.
She has a future that shines brightly...
and has her whole life ahead of her.
Young Guk, I'm sorry to ask you this,
but could you persuade her into taking this job?
Anna.
I know you care about her a lot.
She's diligent, good at her job, and the sweetest.
That's why I want to offer her a life...
full of endless possibilities.
If you think about her future,
going to the US is the right move.
She's a young lady at the age of 27.
She has a future that shines brightly...
and has her whole life ahead of her.
Young Guk, I'm sorry to ask you this,
but could you persuade her into taking this job?
Mr. Lee!
Mr. Lee, we're supposed to get pork cutlet,
so why are we meeting here instead?
I don't think I can have pork cutlet with you.
Sorry?
I have finally made up my mind.
Mr. Lee?
Ms. Park.
I don't have feelings for you.
More accurately, it means that I will choose not to like you.
So go to the US with Anna.
Mr. Lee...
Find your own ground in this world...
and spread your wings.
That's all...
I want for you.
But Mr. Lee...
(Young Lady and Gentleman)
Do you really want me to go to the US?
Yes, of course. Just for five years.
Would you be okay without me?
Soo Chul, you look amazing. It's like you're somebody different.
Mr. Lee, I'm not going to the US.
Why would you even tell me this?
Please don't cross the line.
This is an affair.
How about I paint you as a homewrecker online?
Is that what you want?
I'm terribly sorry. I'll pay for any damages.
- Is this a joke to you? - I'll try harder.
I'm done with you trying.
It was an honest mistake, so don't be so harsh on her.
Se Ryeon will throw a fit if I suggest a blind date.
Se Ryeon, is that you?
- Is that you? - Fancy running into you here.
Let's lock Dad and Ms. Park inside the vacation home warehouse.
Se Chan? Se Jong?
Fire! It's on fire!
Ms. Park!
