(Episode 30)
What has gotten into you?
I'm not going to the US.
I'm going to stay by your side.
Why are you being this way when you clearly like me?
Let's stop making it hard on one another.
Ms. Park,
I thought wrong.
I shouldn't have been smitten with a young and pretty lady...
like yourself.
It was selfish of me to let myself get swayed by you.
If you were my sister or my daughter,
I wouldn't have condoned this.
Ms. Park.
You have your whole life ahead of you.
So rather than wasting the best years of your life,
I want you to spread your wings and challenge yourself.
That's what I want for you.
No.
Then what about Jae Ni, Se Chan, and Se Jong?
I need to be by their side.
I can find another tutor.
That's how we'll end things.
My gosh.
You should've announced yourself.
I almost had a heart attack.
Can I get you something?
Coffee, maybe?
Do you really...
want me to go to the US?
What?
Yes, it's what I want.
I know that adjusting to a new country...
isn't easy at your age.
Of course I'm aware of that.
But when will you get a chance to earn money like this?
You need to earn what you can while you're a year younger...
so that we can prepare for life after retirement.
Remember what you said when you married me?
You promised to give me a cushy life.
That being said, I won't ask for much.
Just five years. Work there for just five years.
Will you...
be okay without me?
I'm not a child, you know.
Besides, we have a big family.
It's true...
that it won't be easy...
without you.
But five years of hard work...
will get us a house.
We'll no longer have to live in a house with a leaky roof.
Besides, you're not going to a developing country.
This is the US we're talking about.
Everyone dreams of working there,
so why would you pass up on this opportunity?
All right.
Then I'll go.
Really? Are you sure? My gosh, honey!
You made the right choice. You really did.
Honey, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Goodness.
Who's calling?
Oh, it's Ms. Kim.
What? Then don't keep her waiting.
Yes, Ms. Kim.
Right now?
Right. Sure thing.
What was that about? What did she say?
She wants to talk to me about something in person.
Really? Then you should go to her.
All right. I'll head to the restaurant afterwards.
Will you stop worrying about the fried chicken place?
Dae Bum can manage it alone with his eyes closed.
Now, get going. Off you go.
Run along. Get going.
Thank you, my lord. Thank you!
My dear.
Hurrah!
Sorry?
Dan Dan said she couldn't go?
I'm afraid so. After you agreed to go,
I met up with Ms. Park...
to tell her the good news...
about you joining us as well.
I honestly thought she'd be thrilled by the idea,
but she backed out of the agreement instead.
Why can't she go though?
Wasn't she taking English classes...
to prepare for the job?
Chairman Lee's children are holding her back.
She doesn't want to leave them.
As if that makes any sense.
Why would she even think that?
I was just as baffled, which is why I met with Chairman Lee...
and asked him to persuade Ms. Park to come with me.
However, it may be a good idea...
for you to talk to her as well.
Okay. I'll talk to her.
I really want Ms. Park...
to go to the US with us.
Thank you, Ms. Kim.
For caring for my daughter like that.
It's partly because of you.
And I feel like she's my daughter.
Dan Dan.
Did you really tell Ms. Kim that you wouldn't go to the States?
Is it true that you don't want to go...
because of Chairman Lee's children?
Yes, it is.
I don't want to go to the States.
I will stay and keep working for Chairman Lee.
Dan Dan, that's ridiculous.
I understand that you've grown quite attached to the kids.
But you can't give up your life because of them.
Is there another problem?
No, it's not like that.
Then do you really want to stay because of the kids?
I just don't understand.
It was hard for me to decide,
but I made up my mind because of you.
Dad.
Don't mind me and go to the States.
I think the kids still need me.
Anyway, I can't leave right now.
I hope you understand.
Dan Dan.
You're going about this the wrong way.
Do you know how much Ms. Kim cares about you?
You can't do this to someone who offered you such a big chance.
It's ridiculous that you're blowing it because of the kids.
It's absurd.
So I want you to give it some more thought.
Listen to me. Okay?
(Today's Chef)
Mi Rim, what do you want to eat?
Look. There's a lot of stuff in here.
What about this?
Wait, Jun O. Why are you buying so much?
Well... The thing is,
I don't want you to skip meals because I'm not around.
You have to eat well.
I guess you were worried about me.
Of course I was.
I bet you just had some ramyeon when I wasn't around.
This is really easy to make.
Make sure to eat it, okay?
Jun O.
What?
I feel like you're my family.
This is so heartwarming.
What are you going to cook?
Jjigae.
I'll just put all the ingredients into the pot and boil them.
It's simple, right?
Do you want to try?
It's delicious. I love it.
It's good, right?
I'll talk to Mom and make sure to come back.
Just eat well and take good care of yourself.
I understand that your mom is upset.
It's so hard to go to med school, but you want to quit.
So don't worry about me...
and sort things out with your mom.
I'll be fine.
Okay.
If something happens, call me immediately.
Okay.
Let's eat.
- Let's enjoy the food. - Let's enjoy the food.
- It's here. - My goodness.
Oh, dear.
This looks delicious.
At the beginning of the New Year,
we have good news in our family.
My brother-in-law, Soo Chul, is going to the US.
Let's enjoy the fried chicken and hope for a big success...
in Soo Chul's career and our restaurant.
- Cheers. - Hang on.
The fried chicken goes well with this sauce.
- You know how to enjoy it. - All right. One, two, three.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
What's all this? It's embarrassing.
We don't need a party for that. This is ridiculous.
When else would we throw a party?
It's an honor to our family that you're going to the US to work.
Who else gets hired for a job that pays 100,000 dollars at your age?
I did some research, and it turns out...
that a six-figure salary isn't common even in the US.
- Is that true? - Yes.
It's a really big deal.
Honey, my friends are so jealous of me.
I'm a star now.
I haven't even started working yet.
Why did you tell them about it?
What's wrong with that? I bragged because I was proud.
Soo Chul, once you settle down there,
you should bring Gun over.
Right, Soo Chul. Try to get on Ms. Kim's good side...
and ask her to hire Gun too.
What if we all end up in the States?
Stop it.
Thanks to Soo Chul,
I might be able to go to the States before I die.
I've only been to South-East Asian countries.
I'm so lucky in my late years.
All right then. To commemorate all this,
let's drink again.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
We will get to drink American beers later.
Give me that. I want to eat it.
Try this, Mom.
- This is so delicious. - Which sauce? This one?
Mr. Lee.
Mr. Lee, did you have dinner?
It's late, so I bet you did.
But I'd like you to buy me something delicious.
And let's go play the whack-a-mole together.
I need to whack some moles today.
I was a little stressed out earlier today.
Ms. Park.
Did you not hear what I told you this afternoon?
Did you forget what I said?
Mr. Lee, I'm not going to the US.
I told Ms. Kim about it too.
That's my decision.
- So please... - Why would you even tell me this?
I'll assume...
that you're quitting in three months.
Whether you go to the US or not, that's not my business.
I'm not going because of you.
Because I have feelings for you.
Ms. Park.
I'm engaged to someone else.
What do you think you're doing...
to a man with a fiancee?
Pardon?
I'm telling you again. I'm over you.
I'm not imagining any kind of future with you.
Please don't treat me like this again.
I'll treat you only as my children's tutor.
Please don't...
cross the line.
Why is Mr. Lee being like this to me?
My gosh. Ms. Yeoju, what's all that?
I guess Mr. Lee had drinks in his study last night.
Young Guk had drinks in his study?
Yes. He drank the whole bottle without any snacks.
This never happened before.
This is the first time since I started working here.
I wonder what is going on.
He wasn't like this even when his wife died.
He wouldn't even look at me or go on a date with me.
Is being engaged to me that hard on him?
Enough for him to drink such strong liquor?
What should I do with him?
Mr. Lee gave me the cold shoulder last night,
but in reality, he felt bad about it.
Yes. He still has feelings for me.
Mr. Lee. I'm glad I caught you.
I was worried you'd already left for work.
Here. I got this for you.
You had a lot of hard liquor last night without any food.
Mr. Lee.
You drank because of me, didn't you?
You said a bunch of things to me that you didn't mean,
then you felt bad, and that's why you drank.
This is a hangover reliever.
Drink it up. I'll make you feel better.
Ms. Park.
Did you think I was joking yesterday?
Is this a game?
You must still have a hangover.
Drink this first.
Why are you doing this?
Mr. Lee.
I warned you yesterday...
not to cross the line.
Ms. Park.
It looks like you didn't get the message, so I'll say it again.
Do not do this to me again.
Se Chan, Dad's scary.
Why is he suddenly acting like this?
I guess Dad's trying to make Ms. Park go to the US.
Why?
Because he loves her.
Se Chan. Why would he let her go if he loves her?
You'll understand when you're older.
Soo Chul.
I think this will suit you. Try it on.
No way. Why should I?
Why do you think? Don't you need to take a passport photo?
I can just dress neatly for the photo.
I don't need new clothes.
I need an excuse to buy you a nice outfit.
You'll need a few suits like this if you're to work in the US.
It would help to be prepared.
Try it on.
Can he try this on?
Yes, of course.
Try it on and let me see.
Soo Chul, you look great. You look like a changed man.
Not really.
I'm not sure if I should accept such a gift.
Why would you say that? Of course you can.
You helped me out in so many ways.
Can't I give you this much?
I want to give you everything I can.
You look great. You really do.
We went shopping and got your photos taken.
All that walking about made me hungry.
Let's go to your place. I'll cook you something nice.
What would you like?
No. I will cook for you this time.
You will? What will you make?
I'll prepare something I consider my secret recipe.
Look forward to it.
I'm excited already.
It has been a long time.
What did I just see?
Isn't that Mr. Park?
What is he doing walking arm-in-arm...
with a rich-looking lady?
How does he know her?
Oh, hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Where is Mr. Park?
He'll be here soon.
He had to drop by somewhere to take care of something.
Dae Bum is watching the store. Why?
Oh, well...
Does Mr. Park have a younger sister?
A younger sister?
No, he only has an older sister.
The lady you met last time.
For real?
Yes. Why?
The thing is,
- I was at a wedding... - Dong Pil.
I told you to drain the jokbal.
What are you doing out here?
I was...
My brother is the curious type.
I'll let you get to work.
Come in with me.
I need to... Wait.
What's up with him?
I have no idea.
Why would he ask if Soo Chul has a younger sister?
Do you think he wants us to set them up if he does?
My gosh. He sure has big dreams for someone who looks like that.
He seems like a good man, but still.
You need to be as handsome as my son if you want to talk about looks.
You're right. Pretend you didn't hear anything.
- It's cold. Let's go inside. - Okay.
Is this...
squash and kimchi soup?
It is, squash and kimchi soup.
I had this once...
very long ago.
I haven't had it since then.
Did you? Try it.
Okay.
How is it?
It tastes amazing, Ji Young.
It's spicy, sweet, and light.
I've never had anything like it in my entire life.
Really?
This is my mom's specialty.
Not many people know this recipe.
It tastes amazing.
Eat all you want.
What's the matter? Do you not like it?
No. It's really good.
It tastes like what I had before.
I'm glad you like it.
This dish...
I had it just once in my life,
and I've never found it since.
How do you know this recipe?
I liked it and asked someone I knew to teach me how to make it.
Oh, I see.
I made it just in case, because he liked it last time.
Soo Chul won't suspect me, will he?
You darn wench!
How dare you steal from someone?
Because of you, I might end up in a fiery pit!
Darn you!
- You thief! - No, Mom!
Oh, no.
- Mom! - Oh, dear.
- Ki Ja! - Mom!
Please let my mom go.
- Mom! - No!
Mom.
Mom...
I'm sorry, Mom.
Mom...
My goodness. Then how should I go about this?
Se Ryeon will throw a fit...
if I suggest the idea of a blind date.
All you have to do is be there with Se Ryeon.
Their second son...
has been interested in her since their time in the States,
so just make it look like...
a random encounter.
All right. I'll make sure Se Ryeon is there.
Yes, but it has to look like a random encounter.
Of course. You don't need to say it twice.
I would love nothing more...
than for Jinsa Corporation's second son...
to help her come to her senses regarding that parasite.
Of course.
They both have experienced heartaches...
which is why I want a good future for them.
- Right. - Hey, Mi Sook.
Goodness.
Dae Ran, when did you get here?
I haven't been here long.
What's with your complexion though?
It's as if all the blood has been drained from your face.
What?
She's not wrong.
It seems like you aged a few years.
What's wrong? Has something been troubling you?
Troubling me?
No, it must be the lack of sleep.
Gosh. Why aren't you getting enough sleep?
Shouldn't you be having sweet dreams...
now that Sa Ra is engaged to Chairman Lee?
Your face should be glowing with joy.
Exactly.
My goodness! What am I still doing here?
Ms. Jang, I'll wait for your call then.
- Sure. I'll call you. - Got it.
Stay and talk, Ki Ja. I have someplace to be.
Goodness, I need to get so much done!
Why was Dae Ran here?
Oh, it's none of your business.
This pumpkin jeon is to die for.
Could you be any more annoying?
Darn it.
- Can I get some more water? - Of course!
- Here you go. - Thank you.
When will our tteokbokki be out?
- Your tteokbokki? - Yes.
Soon. It won't take long.
Right.
Here's the tteokbokki for table three.
Yes, Grandmother.
Here you go.
My gosh!
What on earth... Are you kidding me?
This is brand new!
I'm terribly sorry. The plate flew out of my grip.
Oh, dear.
I'm terribly sorry.
Goodness, it's all over your clothes.
I'm so sorry.
Look here. I don't care who you are,
but are you walking around with your eyes closed?
Look at what you did to me!
I'm so sorry. I'll pay for all the damages.
I'll pay for the clothes.
Of course you should.
But how am I supposed to get home...
covered in tteokbokki sauce?
This is more than frustrating!
An apology won't cut it.
I'm afraid our part-timer doesn't have a lot of experience.
We hope you can understand.
I'll go and make you another dish of tteokbokki.
Goodness. We're so sorry.
I hope you don't stay too upset.
To make up for this,
the fried chicken will be on the house.
Forget it!
Goodness me.
- Oh, dear. - What now?
- Look at the state I'm in! - Tell me about it.
Oh, no.
How am I supposed to get home?
Ms. Se Ryeon, I've been trying not to say this,
but I can't take it anymore.
Can you please stop coming here?
Mother, please don't say things like that.
Gosh. What is it that you don't get?
Ms. Se Ryeon, we only hire part-timers...
to lessen the workload,
but you're not helping.
You break cups and plates,
spill food,
and flirt with Dae Bum whenever you can.
Our livelihood depends on this place...
which is why we work ourselves to the bone.
Do you just come here to flirt with Dae Bum?
No, of course not. I'm here to work.
Date Dae Bum elsewhere. I won't stop you from doing that.
Mother, please. I'll try harder.
I don't want you to try.
Have you not been listening?
Mom.
Se Ryeon didn't do it on purpose.
It's a mistake anyone could make.
What?
No one is good at something right off the bat.
She's trying to help for my sake,
so must you yell at her like this over a mistake?
A mistake?
You say that like it hasn't happened before.
I can only take so much!
Go fry some more chicken and stop coming to her defense.
Unbelievable.
Come here.
Unbelievable.
I never asked her to work here.
She's from a wealthy family,
so why not help us by handing us some cash?
How dense can she be?
Mom, there's no need to put it like that.
She's trying, you know.
Mother, I'm sorry.
I'll head home early today.
Se Ryeon!
Dae Bum, stop barking up the wrong tree.
It's only a waste of time.
She'll go back to where she belongs,
so save yourself the heartache.
Seriously. What do you take her for?
- Se Ryeon! - Dae Bum.
Se Ryeon!
Gosh, I must be stupid!
What on earth are you doing?
You fool.
Hey, Mom.
They should be here by now.
Gosh, it's like you haven't eaten for days.
I've been craving tomato spaghetti.
Stop eating like that. You'll get it on your clothes.
Where are they?
Have they changed their minds?
Mom, didn't you say you have something to say?
Right, of course.
Well...
We can't keep living like we're strangers, right?
It's just you and me in this world.
How is it just you and me in this world?
We have Young Guk, Jae Ni, Se Chan, and Se Jong.
This is exactly why Young Guk hates you.
Seriously.
Must you attack me for everything I say when we haven't met in a while?
You know what?
Since it's been a while, we'll just eat in peace.
No more arguing.
I'm putting my foot down.
As long as you disapprove of Dae Bum,
I won't bother to contact you.
So don't you dare tell me that I shouldn't see him.
It's my life.
And just like that, I lost my appetite.
Are you perhaps Lee Se Ryeon?
Se Ryeon, is that you?
Oh Seung Ho?
Yes, it's me. Oh Seung Ho.
I can't believe I ran into you here.
Tell me about it.
Hello, ma'am.
Right. It's been a while.
Goodness. You must be Se Ryeon's friend and his mother.
- Hello. - Yes, hello.
This is my friend Seung Ho...
who went to the same school in New York.
Seung Ho, this is my mother.
- Hello. - Right. Hi, there.
And this is his mother.
Hello.
Since the children are friends, how about we sit together?
It's fine with me. What do you say, Se Ryeon?
Right, of course.
Thank you.
Goodness. Are you saying you two almost dated?
That's right.
I had a huge crush on her.
But I was young back then and not brave enough to say anything.
Se Ryeon, I'm sorry about how I treated you back then.
I wish to apologize.
Well, it's all in the past.
Thank you for being so forgiving.
I have always wanted to apologize to you,
so I can't believe I finally got that chance.
Goodness.
There must be a story there that I'm not aware of.
We're both in Korea now,
so we should meet up from time to time.
Sure thing.
Se Chan, I don't have any ideas.
Love is too hard for me to understand.
Se Jong, I just had a great idea!
Really? What is it?
Let's ask Dad to take us...
to the ski resort by our vacation home.
The ski resort? Okay.
Then I want to go sledding.
Se Jong, this isn't so that we can go sledding.
It's time for Project Cupid.
Oh, okay.
Then will the whole family go?
Of course not.
It has to be you, me, Dad, and Ms. Park.
Then, we'll lock the two up...
inside the vacation home shed.
You stick closer to people when you're locked in a scary place.
You're right. Se Chan, you're a genius.
No one knows more about love than you.
I guess you can say that.
Why? What?
Se Chan, this had better not be a prank.
I'm not here to prank you.
Then what is this about?
Se Jong, Dad, and I...
are going to the ski resort for a guys' night out.
I want you to stay home since you're a girl.
The men have something to talk about, you see.
As if I'd be interested.
Besides, I have classes to get to.
So just make sure you don't pester me into going.
You promised.
Now, get out.
I have tests to study for.
Se Chan, Se Jong, what brings you two by?
We had something to ask.
Could you spare us some time?
My time? Take up as much as you need.
Dad, let's go skiing.
- Skiing? - Yes.
I want to learn how to ski.
I have only been sledding before...
and I want to ski like Se Chan.
Is that so?
Then why don't we ask Jae Ni as well?
She can't go because of her extra classes.
Since that's the case,
we should make it a guys' night out.
We'll go skiing...
and head to the vacation home for a barbecue.
Really? Then a guys' night out it is.
- All right! - All right!
Mr. Lee.
I heard that you will be going skiing with the boys...
and staying the night at the vacation home.
I'll go with you to lend a hand.
What do you need me to get?
No, it's all right.
Jae Ni isn't coming,
so it'll be a guys' night out.
Oh, I see.
Still, wouldn't it be nice...
for me to make some memories with the boys?
It sounds like a good opportunity to get closer to them.
Today won't be the only opportunity.
Maybe next time.
Oh, all right.
Then please let me tag along the next time you go.
Ms. Cho, please don't do this.
Am I not even allowed to do that much?
I am your fiancee, you know.
We agreed to take it slow.
I wish to address this matter once I regain my lost memories.
Truth be told, I still don't know...
how I feel about you.
I hope you can understand that. I'll get going then.
Se Chan, Se Jong, did you have fun?
- Yes. - Yes, I had a blast.
Watch your step.
Ms. Park, how did you get here?
Oh, I took a cab.
That's not what I meant.
Why are you here?
Oh, that's...
Who said...
you could come here?
Dad, I asked her to come.
You did? Why?
I left my phone at home...
and asked her to bring it here.
I can't live without it, you see.
Ms. Park, you can hand it over and go.
I'll have Mr. Kim call you a cab.
Right. Of course.
Dad, Ms. Park had to come all the way here because of me.
It would be rude just to send her away.
Don't you know how dangerous it is for a woman to be alone at night?
Besides, she probably hasn't had dinner yet...
and will be starving by the time she gets home.
Ms. Park, you haven't had dinner yet, right?
No, it's okay. I'm fine, Se Chan.
I should go anyway.
No way.
Stay for the barbecue, Ms. Park.
He's right.
I'll feel guilty if you leave like this.
Come on. Let's go.
Over here.
Here's your meat. Please enjoy.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
Ms. Park, here you go.
Gosh. Thank you.
Go on. It's delicious.
Right.
I'm done with my meal,
so I'll excuse myself for a business call.
Enjoy your meal.
- Sure. - Got it.
Se Jong, we need to inflate all of these balloons.
- You know that, right? - Yes.
Then inflate ten of them.
Sure thing.
Se Jong, we're going to lock Dad and Ms. Park in here.
It'll be a romantic night.
They'll make up for sure.
Right. But can't I be the one to light the candles?
It's too dangerous, so I'll do it instead.
You're in charge of placing them. Make sure they're in a heart shape.
Got it. I know I can do it well.
Let's do this.
Where are the boys?
They already went inside.
No, they didn't.
I'm coming from there myself.
Weren't they out here with you?
No, I thought they were inside with you.
(Dad)
What's going on?
This doesn't seem right.
I'll check by the fishing site,
so look around the property.
Call me if you find them.
Got it.
Se Chan!
Se Jong?
Lee Se Chan!
Lee Se Jong!
- Lee Se Chan! - Fire!
There's a fire!
Se Chan, Se Jong?
- Help! - Help!
- It's a fire! - Help!
Wait a moment. I'm coming.
- What do we do? - Ms. Park.
Please help us.
Se Chan. Se Jong.
- Ms. Park. - Kids.
Hold me tight.
Se Chan, wait a second.
Se Chan.
Se Chan, go on ahead.
Hurry up and go.
- Ms. Park! - Ms. Park! Come on out.
- Ms. Park! - Ms. Park!
Se Chan. Se Jong.
Ms. Park!
Dad. What about Ms. Park?
Dad, Ms. Park saved me,
but she's still trapped in there.
Se Chan, what are you talking about?
Is Ms. Park in there?
Yes. Dad, please save Ms. Park.
Dad, hurry!
Please hurry!
Stay here.
Ms. Park!
Ms. Park. Please come on out.
- Ms. Park! - Hurry.
Dad.
Ms. Park!
- Are you all right? - Mr. Lee.
No. Ms. Park, wake up.
Ms. Park, wake up. Ms. Park!
My gosh.
Ms. Cho, please don't do this.
(Ms. Sokcho Night Sea)
Hello, it's me. Is something wrong?
Mister.
Can you come over?
What's wrong?
Okay. I'll be right there.
I'm on my way.
(Beef entrails, pork belly)
I thought that jerk came to see you again.
Did you come running because you were worried?
Is that it?
That loser won't show up again...
because of you, Mr. Teddy Bear.
That day, you were...
really cool.
What? Was I?
My gosh.
You're just saying that because you're drunk.
You were like a black knight to me.
No one ever called me a black knight before.
I'm Driver Cha.
You know that joke was really lame, don't you?
When I'm with you,
I just end up laughing and enjoying myself.
But why are you drinking again?
Did something happen?
Yes. Something happened.
I don't need to hide it from you anymore.
You've seen everything.
That's right. It was cloudy again.
I have eyes only for him, but I always end up getting hurt.
My pride has been worn to tatters.
So I was feeling down.
I see. Instead of longing for someone who doesn't love you,
it's better to live a happy life with someone who cares for you.
But I do understand...
that women want to be with someone rich.
Living a happy life with someone who cares for me?
Right.
That's what I used to dream of.
But you know what?
That's not the way life goes.
Things never turned out as I wished.
It might be hard to believe,
but I wasn't...
this foolish before.
It's just that there's a reason...
that I have to be like this.
A reason that you have to be like this?
What is it?
Is it...
something I can take care of?
There's no way you can take care of it.
Never.
Your glass is empty.
Let's just drink.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Let's just go for another round.
You always say that when you can't even hold your liquor.
- Let's just have one more round. - My gosh.
Are you all right?
We shouldn't...
be doing this.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
Mr. Teddy Bear.
You really are a good guy.
You really are.
And you're a good person too.
I mean it.
Mister.
Don't say that to me. Why would you say that?
I'll go home by myself. Don't follow me.
Se Chan, Se Jong.
The doctor says Ms. Park will be fine.
So don't worry about her.
Shall we go outside so she can rest?
Se Chan, Se Jong, can you explain to Dad...
how the fire started?
We lit a candle and the fire spread.
Why did you light a candle in there?
Se Chan, Se Jong.
You need to tell Dad, okay?
The truth is,
we thought you and Ms. Park liked each other,
so we wanted to set you up.
We wanted to decorate the room with candles,
balloons, and flowers and make it look romantic,
then lock you and Ms. Park inside.
- What? - You and Ms. Park...
seemed to be struggling with love,
so we thought that...
we could do something to bring you together.
Se Chan, Se Jong.
I'm sorry, Dad.
I'm sorry.
Se Jong, it's okay.
- It's okay, Se Chan. - I'm sorry, Dad.
Are you all right, sir?
Yes, I'm fine.
Can you take the boys home, wash them, and put them to bed?
I'll stay until Ms. Park wakes up.
Sure. I'm sorry, sir.
If only I hadn't gone home early...
That's fine. Look after the kids for me.
I will. Don't worry.
- Let's go, boys. - Go with him.
Ms. Park, are you okay? How do you feel?
Se Chan.
Se Jong.
How are Se Chan and Se Jong?
Are they okay? Were they hurt?
Calm down, Ms. Park.
The boys are fine, thanks to you.
They weren't hurt.
That's so fortunate.
What a relief.
You inhaled a lot of smoke. Are you okay?
You were out for a few hours.
Mr. Lee.
I won't go to the US.
I can't go. I won't.
Ms. Park.
You're saying that at a time like this?
I won't leave you and the kids to go anywhere.
So will you stop...
telling me to leave?
Why are you doing this?
What are you doing?
Mr. Lee...
Ms. Park.
Do you feel better?
Yes. I'm fine now.
Ms. Park.
Thanks for your help yesterday.
I owe you massively.
If not for you,
my boys...
I can't even imagine the outcome.
It's fine.
It was only right for me to save them.
I'm the one who owes you.
You saved my life.
Thank you so much.
Ms. Park.
I'm sorry.
For being so cold to you.
Mr. Lee.
Yes, you were right.
I treated you coldly on purpose.
To send you away.
Mr. Lee.
Ms. Park.
Stop being stubborn and go to the US with Ms. Kim.
Spread your wings and dreams in a new world.
You're too good...
to settle for...
a much older man with three kids.
Ms. Park.
I am engaged to someone else.
There's no room in my heart for you, and there shouldn't be.
So let's...
end this here and now.
I made some hot chocolate. Try it.
Se Chan, Se Jong.
Don't do anything like that again...
to set me up with Ms. Park.
You and Ms. Park like each other.
That's why we did it.
So you would start dating.
You know that...
Dad is engaged to Ms. Cho.
It's against the rules to do that when you're engaged,
and it's a bad thing.
You know that, right?
You two. You like Ms. Park, don't you?
If you like her,
you should help her be happy.
Dad was married once before,
and I'm much older.
And I have three children.
But Ms. Park is a young and pretty lady.
We should let her go so she can make her dreams come true.
Se Chan, why are you crying?
I understood what you meant.
But thinking that Ms. Cho will become our mom...
is really scary and I hate it.
If you'll really marry Ms. Cho,
I want you to send me to study abroad.
I'm scared too.
I want to study abroad with Se Chan.
If not, Ms. Cho will lock us up...
in the dark storage room again.
Se Chan, Se Jong.
Did Ms. Cho lock you in a dark room?
What's that about?
Is the tteokgalbi ready?
Yes, it's ready.
Cook the pine mushrooms later or they'll turn tough.
I know better.
Did you set aside Se Jong's short-necked clam soup?
The Cheongyang chili peppers are too spicy for him.
Okay, I got it.
Where's Ms. Park?
Is she in her room because the kids are out?
Oh, right. She said yesterday that she'd go to the vacation home.
Is she not back yet?
What?
Ms. Park went to the vacation home yesterday?
- We're back. - We're back.
Did you have that much fun skiing? You all look exhausted.
I thought this was a guys' night out.
Why is Ms. Park with you?
Well...
This was supposed to be a guys' night out,
so why were you there?
Did Chairman Lee ask you to be there?
I left my phone at home,
so she came by to drop it off.
Ms. Park, you should get some rest.
Yesterday's events must've startled you.
Of course.
Kids, let's go upstairs.
Mr. Lee,
your meal is ready.
I have to be at the office.
My gosh. Look at her using the kids as an excuse.
Talk about being brazen.
What should we do about her?
I am engaged to someone else.
There's no room in my heart for you, and there shouldn't be.
So let's end this here and now.
Ms. Park, we need to talk.
Mr. Kim, can you pull over?
Yes, sir.
What is this about?
Ms. Cho?
Why are you doing this?
Why were you at the vacation home?
What was your intention?
Who are you to go there when even his fiancee wasn't allowed?
What were you trying to achieve?
This was planned, wasn't it?
You wanted to seduce him in some way.
This is an affair.
How about I paint you as a homewrecker online?
It could be a nice addition to your resume at 27.
Do you want Mr. Lee...
to be known as an unfaithful scumbag?
Is that really what you want?
Ms. Cho!
Ms. Cho,
how dare you treat Ms. Park this way?
Even at this very moment, all you care about is this brat.
Did it break your heart to see her get slapped?
Even though I'm your fiancee, I couldn't accompany you.
So why was she at the vacation home?
What did you two do behind closed doors?
Ms. Cho.
It's true...
that we were wrong to make her slip and fall...
on banana peels.
But she tried to even lock Se Jong in the dark storage room.
She scares me, Dad.
Yes, Mr. Lee.
Ms. Cho.
We need to talk.
Yes, of course.
Ms. Cho.
This engagement is off.
What?
You're breaking off the engagement?
But Mr. Lee...
(Young Lady and Gentleman)
- Dan Dan. - Dan Dan?
- Were you fired? - I'm going to get some rest.
Where's Chairman Lee? Get out here, you jerk!
- What is this about? - How could you do this?
I have nothing more to say on the matter.
You! Get off your high horse, darn it!
I can't give up just yet.
What other choice do you have?
With your help,
I can be with him again.
I might love Dae Bum,
but his family and I can't get along.
I should help her clean up.
This baby looks a lot like Dan Dan.
- My gosh. - What do you think you're doing?
I saw photos of Dan Dan when she was a baby.
What are you talking about?
If you're my aunt's niece,
that makes us family.
What does that mean for us?
Jae Ni, Se Chan, and Se Jong came by my house.
Ms. Park, come with me.
Let me lean on you just for one more night.
