(Episode 9)
Mr. Lee.
I'm sorry.
Mr. Lee, I...
I lied to you.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Park,
what are you saying?
What do you mean, you lied?
Lie about what?
Truth be told, I left the residence tonight...
because my dad was in an accident, not because of my friend.
Your father?
Then why did you say it was a friend?
Well...
You see...
Because my dad...
is Park Soo Chul, the driver who used to work for you.
That's why. I'm so sorry.
What?
The driver I fired the other day...
is your father?
Yes.
Ms. Park,
what on earth are you saying?
Let me get this straight.
Mr. Park...
and those people who lived in my annex in secret...
are your family?
Yes.
I deeply apologize for not telling you sooner.
It may sound like an excuse to you,
but I did think of telling you multiple times.
I just couldn't muster up the courage.
The kids are sweet and loving...
and everyone here was so good to me...
that I didn't want to leave.
So throughout this whole time, you fooled me,
my children,
and the rest of my family.
You fooled us all.
That was your intention from the beginning!
Of course not. I didn't plan with my father...
that we both get jobs with this family.
My situation is a long story,
but when I joined as the live-in tutor,
my dad had already been hired as your driver.
It really was a coincidence!
I don't care if you didn't know your father worked here...
and that this was all a coincidence.
I've had it with such ridiculous excuses,
so move out this instant.
Sure.
I understand.
I'm truly sorry.
Still,
I was grateful for this opportunity.
Hold on.
Yes, sir?
Not now,
but tomorrow morning.
After the kids leave for school and kindergarten,
you will leave quietly...
so that the kids aren't alarmed.
Yes, sir. I will do as told.
Oh, no.
Goodness.
Hey.
Anna,
why are you still up at this hour?
I stepped out to get some water...
and happened to hear you and Ms. Park talking.
What is going on?
Ms. Park...
is the daughter of that driver.
The one whose son targeted Se Ryeon.
You saw them that day.
How ridiculous is this situation?
I'm also taken aback by it all,
but seeing how she came clean at least now,
it must mean that there was an underlying reason.
If her intentions were impure, she wouldn't have told you herself.
No, Anna.
She has been lying to us all this time.
I can't condone this.
Then...
are you really going to make her move out?
The children seem to have grown quite attached to her.
If she resigns,
wouldn't it shock and alarm them?
It's not like I can keep her on board though.
She comes from a family of grifters,
and I can't let someone like her near my children.
We were only just reunited, so why did you tell him?
You could've kept it hidden.
Don't worry though.
You have your mother to lean on now.
Why? Do you want to play a game?
But I know I can't.
We left early today, so we still have some time left.
Do you want to play a game?
Are you serious? Can I really do that?
Gosh, what's the occasion?
It isn't my birthday today.
Awesome! This is so exciting.
Se Jong!
What is it, Ms. Park?
Ms. Park, what's the matter?
You're being strange.
That's not true. It's nothing.
It's just that...
you look so handsome today.
I know I do.
Se Jong, you should listen to your teacher...
and play nicely with your friends as always, okay?
Okay.
You should go in.
Okay. Ms. Park, I'll see you later.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
Ms. Park.
Ms. Kim.
Ms. Park, can I talk to you for a moment?
Pardon?
Actually, I overheard...
the conversation between you and Chairman Lee last night.
I heard that the driver, Mr. Park,
is your father.
I'm sorry.
No, don't be.
You don't have to apologize to me.
I just thought you might have some story you couldn't tell.
Why don't you tell me?
No.
I will clear things out and leave today.
- I'll go home and... - Ms. Park.
Even if you do quit,
you should straighten out the misunderstanding before you go.
I don't think you're someone who would trick people.
We haven't known each other for long,
but I can tell you are not that kind of person.
Ms. Park, tell me now.
What's the story?
Please.
Actually, I...
left home after having a fight with my mom and dad.
I was going to cut ties with them.
You were?
Yes.
My dad had been through a lot...
because of my mom's family's business.
They even lost our house...
which Dad had worked really hard for.
Then they lost the deposit on the house we leased later on.
So my whole family was about to be forced out onto the streets.
I was really upset...
and ran away from home.
My goodness.
My daughter, you poor thing.
So I had nowhere to go.
Then I found this live-in tutor job.
I really liked Chairman Lee's house.
The kids were so lovely too.
But my dad was already working there...
as a live-in driver.
How could such a thing happen?
I should've told them the truth back then.
But I was afraid...
that I'd get fired.
If I got fired,
I would have nowhere to go.
But I didn't want them...
to get the wrong idea when they found out...
about Dad and me.
So Dad was going to quit.
That's when they found out about Dae Bum and Ms. Se Ryeon.
Ms. Kim.
My dad is not that kind of person.
We didn't know anything.
I'm serious.
I believe you, Ms. Park.
Thank you, Ms. Kim. Thank you so much.
I will talk to Chairman Lee...
for you.
No.
It's true that I did wrong to Chairman Lee and his kids.
Even if I were Chairman Lee,
I wouldn't be able to accept a situation like this.
Ms. Kim.
Thank you so much...
for being kind to me.
Please take care.
Ms. Park.
Dan Dan, my daughter.
She had no place to live.
She had nowhere to go,
so she got a job as a live-in tutor.
Has her life been that hard the whole time?
My daughter, Dan Dan...
Ms. Park, what is going on?
Are you really going to quit?
Ms. Yeoju, thank you for everything.
Please take care.
Ms. Cho, is she getting fired?
What did she do wrong to deserve this?
You must know the reason. Why is she leaving?
No. It's not like that.
Seriously, it's all my fault.
So I'm quitting.
What? What's going on? Ms. Park, are you quitting?
Ms. Wang.
Thank you for everything.
And I'm really sorry.
Goodbye. Please take care.
My goodness.
Ms. Cho, what's going on?
What happened?
I'm not sure.
When I got here, Mr. Lee told me that she would quit,
and I should pay her what she earned up to now.
He didn't tell me anything else.
Ms. Park was hardworking and nice.
What's the matter?
I know, Ms. Wang. I'm so upset.
So what?
We have to find someone new and get acquainted with that person.
We need to start all over again.
Gosh, I'm tired of dealing with new people.
I can't believe Mr. Lee.
How could he fire her just like that?
This is just not right.
Mr. Lee must have had his reasons.
How could you say that when you're an employee here, like us?
Since when were they such good friends?
But why do I feel so relieved as if an aching tooth is finally gone?
Open up.
I was so scared that something terrible might happen to you.
I was going to die with you.
Gosh, I know you're lying.
I'm not lying. I'm serious.
I can't live without you.
How would I live without you when I can't even sleep on my own?
So don't ever work someplace dangerous like that again.
You're too old to work at a construction site.
I will never let you do it, even if we starve to death. Got it?
Answer me. Do you understand?
Okay. I got it.
Have one more piece.
(Please keep quiet for the patients.)
Hey, Dan Dan.
Dan Dan, you're here.
What's that?
Mandarins.
Dan Dan brought your favorite mandarins.
Dad, are you all right?
You're okay, right?
Don't worry.
The doctor will come and check later.
If everything is all right, he can go home today.
That's a relief.
Dad. Don't do anything dangerous like that ever again.
Okay?
Don't you worry.
He promised never to do that kind of work again.
Why? Is something wrong?
What? No, everything is fine, Dad.
Don't worry about me.
Dad.
I upset you a lot, didn't I?
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Can you go and get Dan Dan something to drink?
What? Oh, okay.
Dan Dan.
I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
I was afraid you'd get into trouble because of us.
That's why.
I'm fine...
as long as you're fine.
Do whatever you want.
I'm doing just fine, Dad,
so don't worry about me and get well soon.
I should go now.
What are you doing? Why are you out here?
What?
Well...
Did you drag yourself out here...
to see Dan Dan go?
You feel that much for her? It's so heartbreaking.
I'm just making sure she's okay.
Why did she leave without saying goodbye to me?
She can be so annoying.
She's a live-in tutor. She can't stay out for too long.
I told her to rush back.
Careful. Watch your step. Hold onto my arm.
Be careful.
What is this?
The chairman gave it to me...
saying you should travel to Jeju Island.
It's from Young Guk?
My gosh. This is unbelievable.
This much money just to go to Jeju Island?
Are you sure this is from Young Guk?
Yes, so take Se Ryeon to Jeju Island...
or on a shopping trip somewhere.
Can you forgive Chairman Lee?
Tell me the truth, Ms. Cho.
Did you make him pay up...
to appease me in his place?
Oh, dear... How did you notice?
I knew it. It had to be that.
The idea was mine,
but the chairman gave the go-ahead.
I guess he felt bad too.
Here.
You are the best. You're all I have.
You know how much I like you, don't you?
Yes, I do.
You are also all I have too.
Hello, ma'am!
How have you been?
Hello, Madam Wang.
Is my order ready?
Of course it is. Come this way.
Yes. I got one more lovely baby.
My dear babies.
Yes. I need to stay in this house...
to be able to collect more.
Hang on.
The only way I can keep my place...
is through Ms. Cho. Yes, her.
Siblings who were adopted to the US 32 years ago...
were reunited...
- under extraordinary circumstances. - My goodness.
The brother and sister are five years apart.
In 1989,
Lee Young Chul who was five at the time...
was adopted by a family in Kingston, New York.
His older sister Young Sook...
was adopted by a family in Virginia.
For decades, they knew nothing of each other's whereabouts...
Was my Kyung Hoon adopted too?
Kyung Hoon.
If you were adopted,
can you please come look for me?
Kyung Hoon, where are you now?
Kyung Hoon...
Hi, son.
Were you crying? Is something wrong?
No, I wasn't crying.
Why?
What? You'll visit this weekend?
Yes.
Do you mean that?
You're not lying, are you?
I'm not.
This time I really mean it.
See you this weekend.
Yes. Okay.
See you, son. Bye.
I'll get to see Jun O all I want this weekend.
Who's that?
My gosh.
I thought I told this lady not to come.
Ma'am. Sit over here.
Okay.
Instead of calling me "ma'am," could you call me "Miss?"
I'm still young at heart.
Ma'am.
- Miss. - Yes?
I did some thinking...
and it just won't work.
Why not?
Did you not like the geotjeori and seasoned vegetables I made?
It's not that. Your cooking is good.
But however hard I think,
your old age is too much of a concern.
If something were to happen here...
and you break a bone or faint, what should I do then?
Why don't you feel my arm?
I'm strong-boned. Feel them.
There's no way I'd ever faint,
but even if I do fall and break a bone,
I'll make sure I don't cause you any trouble.
I swear.
But...
Even if you say that...
I'll work really hard.
Please stop worrying and hire me.
You said you can make Vietnamese noodles, right?
You lived in Vietnam.
Yes, that's right.
Vietnamese noodles are my specialty.
I'll make it so it suits your taste perfectly.
Don't you worry about that.
My son said he'll visit this weekend.
Make us some Vietnamese noodles.
I'll make my decision then.
You'll do what?
You'll make your decision then?
Darn you.
What a nuisance, punk, and freeloader.
How many times is she testing me?
Is she hiring for a large company or something?
If I make nice seasoned vegetables, that should be good enough.
What kind of a joke is this?
What's wrong?
Are you not confident?
Oh, gosh, no. Why would I not be confident?
I bet that in the whole of Korea,
there isn't a helper who makes better Vietnamese noodles than I do.
What's up, Dae Ran?
Why did you want to meet outdoors?
I have something to tell you in private.
Something to tell me in private?
What is it?
You told me...
to find a good daughter-in-law,
that it would be my way out.
Yes, that's right.
Do you know how upset I was when I heard how you had been doing?
You should at least get lucky with a daughter-in-law.
- Someone who will take your side. - Right?
Imagine someone weird marrying your stepson instead.
If that were to happen,
you would be kicked to the curb in no time.
It's why I asked you to meet me.
What?
I'll just lay it out for you.
Your daughter, Sa Ra.
I'd like her as my daughter-in-law.
What do you say to that?
What? My Sa Ra?
Yes, your daughter.
Could you let her marry into the family?
Well...
Was my offer that shocking?
You must be upset, which is understandable.
She hasn't been married before...
and Young Guk is a widower with three kids,
so of course, you're not too fond of it.
Well, it's not like I'm upset about it.
It just came out of the blue, that's why.
And you're not wrong.
He does have three children.
I know. So are you against it?
Of course not. I never said that.
Besides, I'm not the one who would marry him.
First, I'll see what Sa Ra thinks.
That's right, Ki Ja. Please put in a good word for me.
Young Guk may have three children,
but he could still pass for a bachelor.
He's also the chairman of a company,
so he can easily remarry a bachelorette.
However, who he marries should be right for the family...
and he's too much of a catch to give to another.
Of course.
I'll be on board if Sa Ra agrees to it.
My gosh. It'll be so fun to have our children marry.
- Right? - Am I dreaming or what?
Sa Ra, you're in. You're finally in!
(Enjoy Coffee)
Sa Ra, over here.
Hey.
Mom, what's up?
Didn't Dae Ran just get home?
She did. Were you out with Ms. Wang today?
Didn't she say anything to you?
No.
But I talked to the chairman...
and had him give her some extra money.
Maybe that's why,
but she warmed up to me a lot...
and even took my hand while we talked.
Anyway, what's this about?
Dae Ran wants you.
- What? - She wants you as her daughter-in-law.
Young Guk is too much of a catch to give to anyone else.
Really? Is that what she said?
Yes!
Because he's a widower with three children,
she feels guilty asking you herself.
She asked me to put in a good word for her.
So what did you say?
Don't tell me you told her that I liked him.
I'm not crazy, you know.
In situations like this, one must bargain.
I'm no fool.
I just said I'd ask you.
That's all I said.
Mom!
Sa Ra, it's done.
You'll soon be the wife of FT Group's chairman...
and be able to hear Se Jong call you Mom.
So let's hang in there a little while longer, okay?
Don't worry, Mom.
- In 1, 2, 3. - In 2, 3.
In 1, 2, 3.
Sir, madam. You're home.
Ms. Yeoju, I hope everything was peaceful at home.
Yes, madam.
Could you perhaps run a bath for us?
Yes, madam.
Ms. Cho.
Ms. Cho!
Ms. Cho, were you daydreaming?
You didn't even see me walk toward you.
It's nothing.
Were you daydreaming about winning the lottery?
You were smirking like some crazy woman.
Ms. Yeoju, can't you watch your words?
Who are you calling crazy?
She just gets on your nerves!
My goodness. Hello! Hello, Director Kang.
Is that you, Director Oh?
Manager Jin, it's been so long!
Hey, Young Guk.
What are you saying?
You want to date Mr. Park's son again?
Are you insane?
At first, I believed what Mom said...
and thought that he had targeted me.
That wasn't the case.
When I met him at the club,
I came onto him first.
I liked him so much...
that I begged him to date me.
He didn't target me first.
Se Ryeon, have you still not come to your senses?
Is that jerk making you say this?
Young Guk, I'm not stupid, you know.
I couldn't be thinking more rationally right now.
Dae Bum...
even said we should break up...
because he needed to earn money for his family.
He asked me to let him go since I deserved better.
But I held onto him.
Also, I liked him so much that I gave him all those gifts.
He never asked for gifts of any kind.
He's not a gold digger.
Neither is he a fraud. He has a heart of gold.
His father is Mr. Park.
You're well aware of what his family is like.
His family...
Anyway, never mention his family to me ever again.
But Young Guk,
this whole misunderstanding occurred because...
Dae Bum is Mr. Park's son.
It all happened to be a coincidence though.
A lot of things happen by chance in this world.
It's wrong to believe...
one is a fraud because of that coincidence.
Young Guk, think about it.
Did his father do anything to hurt us?
No.
Actually, he was a sweet man who worked hard.
What?
Tell me. Am I wrong?
Why are you making them out to be grifters...
just because I like his son?
Isn't that wrong?
All right.
Still, even if what you say is true though,
you can't date him.
Why? Why not?
Se Ryeon, get a grip on yourself!
Don't tell me you were thinking about marrying him.
I like him, so why couldn't we marry?
Please Young Guk.
I want you and Mom to approve before I date him.
So please...
Could you help persuade Mom?
Leave if you're going to say ridiculous things.
I have a meeting.
Fine. I'll do whatever I want then.
Why should I seek approval at my age?
Just remember to hand over...
the shares Dad promised once I marry.
All right?
Hello? Yes, Ms. Cho.
Mr. Lee, Ms. Park moved out this morning.
All right.
Dae Bum!
Dae Bum.
Why are you pretending not to know me?
It's me.
What brings a rich princess to this shabby neighborhood?
Dae Bum, why are you speaking to me like this?
Dae Bum, let's get in the car first.
I have something to say to you.
But putting a piece of trash like me in your car...
might make your car smell like a dumpster.
Dae Bum!
I'm sorry.
I had it all wrong.
I'm truly sorry.
I came here to say that I was wrong.
I'm here to apologize.
So please don't scare me like this, okay?
Dae Bum,
let's start over.
What? You want to start over?
Unbelievable.
Are you here...
because you don't remember why we broke up?
You threw our family out like a piece of trash.
Don't you remember how you treated us?
What gives you the right to do so?
Did you come here thinking...
that I'd say yes if you asked me out again?
Who are you to play with my feelings?
Dae Bum, I said I was sorry.
Anyone would've misread the situation though.
Your father turned out to be the family driver.
I thought that your love for me was all a lie.
It's why I acted that way.
Se Ryeon.
Our love has been shattered.
You broke it.
You betrayed me and my heart was broken.
You and me?
I learned that our families weren't compatible.
Do you need more reasons as to why we can never be?
Dae Bum, if that's the case,
let's move somewhere abroad. We'll run away.
I can go anywhere as long as I'm with you.
Why must I leave my family and go abroad with you?
Why should I even trust you?
Lee Se Ryeon,
don't ever show yourself in front of me again. Got it?
Dae Bum!
Don't be this way.
I'm sorry, okay?
Don't do this.
Lee Se Ryeon, don't be this way...
and meet a man who suits you better.
I'll find someone more suitable for me too.
Dae Bum!
Dae Bum...
What do I do?
What brings you by unannounced?
I had something to say.
I hope I'm not keeping you from anything busy.
It's all right.
Ms. Kim, please don't tell me you have a bone to pick with me.
Of course not.
Actually, I'm here about Ms. Park.
I thought you should know this.
Ms. Park?
What about her?
Her family took a rough turn financially...
and they all had to live separately for a while.
During that time, she fought with her parents...
and she didn't stay in touch with them.
That's why she was relieved to get a job as your live-in tutor.
Only then did she find out that her father got his job first.
Then...
she should've told me right away.
You see...
She couldn't believe it herself...
that neither of them...
could come clean about their relationship.
She thought the truth would get them both fired...
and then she would have nowhere else to go.
Her story...
broke my heart.
Anyway, Ms. Park's father agreed to quit his job...
so that she could stay,
but the deal with Se Ryeon happened before things got sorted out.
Did he say why he's quitting?
No, he said it was for personal reasons.
She was wrong to lie to you,
but I don't think she intended to fool anyone.
And putting that aside,
she was so good with the children.
So how about you give her another chance?
I just feel bad for her, you see.
Still, what she did was wrong.
And she has already left.
Ms. Cho told me earlier.
What? Already?
I can always find another good live-in tutor.
The children will forget about her in no time.
So don't worry too much.
I'm grateful for your concern though.
Right.
I wanted to stay by Dan Dan's side.
I wanted to finally take care of her.
So what should I do now?
I called about the part-timer ad.
Have you hired a kitchen assistant?
Yes, of course. Starting today?
Sure, I'll be there by 5 p.m.
Thank you!
Who could it be?
Am I being fired before the first day?
Hello?
Ms. Park, this is Anna Kim.
Ms. Kim? But why...
Right now?
Did I startle you by calling?
Yes, a little.
Ms. Park,
are you aware that I'm opening a new store in Seoul?
Yes, I am.
Then, I won't beat around the bushes.
Ms. Park,
how about you work with me?
Me?
We'll decide on the department later,
but I'm offering you a full-time job.
You will receive a good enough salary.
Also, my company offers apartments for employees.
Isn't that a good deal for you?
Really? The benefits couldn't be better.
Why would you offer me such a nice position though?
I don't hire just anyone.
What I look for in my employees is passion and diligence.
You made a good impression on me...
as Jae Ni, Se Chan, and Se Jong's tutor.
They're 7, 12, and 14 respectively...
which means there is a huge age gap.
Not anyone can care for three unique individuals like that.
I appreciate you taking a liking to me.
Your offer is unexpected too.
However,
all I did was show you the worst sides of me.
Ms. Park.
I had to go through rough times coming from a poor family myself.
I suffered a lot of setbacks too.
Mistakes and regrets were a constant.
I even did...
something so bad that I deserve eternal punishment.
You did something bad?
Then,
how about this?
If you can't make a decision now,
think about it and let me know in a few days.
There's time before the store opens anyway.
Sure. I'll think about it.
Thank you for the offer.
Save my number on your phone then.
Sure thing.
Anyway, where will you be staying tonight?
Will you go home to your family?
No, I'll be staying at a friend's for the time being.
Why? Must you be somewhere?
If not, why don't we grab some dinner together?
I have a part-time job to get to.
I'm sorry, Ms. Kim, but I'll have to excuse myself.
Sure thing. You should get going.
I'm sorry.
I was hoping to use the excuse to buy her something delicious.
Actually, I can do anything for her now.
From this moment on, I'll give her everything she needs.
The unit seemed a bit crowded.
The money isn't an issue, so do you have anything bigger?
Something bigger? Of course we do.
Can we look at one that is available tomorrow?
Sure thing. Shall we?
Sure.
Goodbye.
Se Jong.
Why are you here, Ms. Cho?
Where's Ms. Park?
Se Jong, Ms. Park is not coming anymore.
Why not?
Se Jong, why don't we go have a seat over there?
Se Jong.
Ms. Park found...
a better job somewhere else.
So she's not working at our place anymore.
Don't lie to me.
Ms. Park promised that she'd be with us for a long time.
Please call her now.
Se Jong, I will always be with you from now on.
Don't worry.
No. I want Ms. Park.
I don't need you, Ms. Cho.
Se Jong!
Ms. Park!
- Ms. Park. - Oh, no. Poor Se Jong.
Se Jong!
Ms. Park!
Se Jong.
Ms. Park.
Se Jong, Ms. Park isn't here anymore.
Ms. Yeoju, is that true?
Did Ms. Park really leave?
Se Jong, we will have an even better tutor.
No.
I want Ms. Park back.
I want her back.
What do we do?
You poor thing.
- Oh, dear. - Ms. Park...
(Little Gentleman Se Jong)
Chairman Lee doesn't want you to keep in touch with the kids.
He told you not to take their calls.
(Little Gentleman Se Jong)
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed...
Jae Ni, I found a strange note.
Did Ms. Park really quit?
Did you get the message too?
What? Is it true that she quit?
Does Se Jong know? Where is he?
Se Jong is not here.
Ms. Cho, where's Se Jong?
Isn't he in his room?
No. Se Jong is not here.
What?
(Chairman Lee Young Guk)
Yes?
What? Se Jong is gone?
- Se Jong! - Lee Se Jong!
Se Jong.
Se Jong!
- Lee Se Jong! - Se Jong!
- Where are you? - Where did you go?
Lee Se Jong!
Se Jong!
- Lee Se Jong! - Se Jong!
Hello?
What? The police station?
- Se Jong. - Se Jong...
Where have you been?
I've been worried sick about you.
I'm sorry.
I'm fine, Dad.
Se Jong, are you really all right?
Did you get hurt? Aren't you sick?
Are you his father?
Yes. Thank you for finding Se Jong for us.
A citizen found him crying alone in Bongcheon-dong...
and reported it to us, so we could find him immediately.
Bongcheon-dong?
Se Jong, why did you go there?
I went there to look for Ms. Park.
She told me the other day...
that she lived in Bongcheon-dong.
Se Jong, you could've called Ms. Park.
Why did you go there? Are you a fool?
She's not answering my calls.
You fool.
Do you really think you can find Ms. Park there?
It's not like the whole neighborhood is her house.
Dad, is Ms. Park really not coming anymore?
Dad. Please tell her to come back.
I want her back.
Please.
I will explain once we get home.
I'm glad that you're okay.
Ms. Park quit for personal reasons.
I'll find you a better tutor as soon as possible.
Do you understand?
Do you think that's enough of an explanation?
I don't want anyone else.
Ms. Park promised...
that she'd be with me for a long time.
But how could she quit just like that without telling me?
Dad, I think you are being unreasonable with this.
Dad. I'm 14, and I'm in middle school now.
Even if you can't tell Se Jong and Se Chan,
you should at least tell me. I need a convincing reason.
Ms. Park isn't someone who'd be so irresponsible...
and quit just like this.
What's the reason?
Jae Ni, this is between grown-ups.
Grown-ups sometimes have reasons that they can't tell.
She quit because she had some unavoidable personal reasons.
That's it.
Between grown-ups?
Is that why you fired her at your own discretion?
- Jae Ni. - You ignored my opinion...
and got your own way.
Then I'll do whatever I want with my life. Okay?
How could you dismiss our favorite tutor just like that?
- Take care. - Bye.
- See you. - Bye.
Wait, Mr. Cha.
- Yes? - Let's have a chat.
- Me? - Yes.
Come over here.
Okay.
Mr. Cha. Have another drink.
Oh, my gosh. The bottle is empty.
- I'll get another one. - No, wait.
You're drunk. Let's call it a day.
You have to work tomorrow.
Mr. Cha. Are you worried about me?
That I'll get drunk?
What?
Yes.
You'll have a hangover tomorrow.
Sweetie. Guess what?
I'm divorced. I'm single.
Oh, dear.
That must've been hard on you.
Do you know the apartment complex behind us?
Oh, yes. I do.
I have a 165m² apartment there.
It's in my name.
Wow, that's incredible.
You became successful pretty young.
That apartment.
I could put your name...
on the deed as well.
I don't ever get this hot.
Why is it so hot in here?
Hang on. I feel so hot.
- It's so hot in here. - Ma'am.
I think...
I need to go. Goodbye.
You can't say goodbye already.
We're supposed to have another drink.
The thing is... What is it? What is that thing called?
An ancestral rite!
Why would you suddenly have an ancestral rite?
These things just happen suddenly.
Goodbye. Sorry!
Do you have someone to cook the food?
Wait! Come back!
My gosh!
That was close.
I'm a bachelor! I'm not yet...
The world is a scary place. There are landmines everywhere.
How dare she touch me?
Hi, Dae Bum.
What? You're where?
Welcome.
Hey. What are you doing here?
Have a drink.
Sure. I need a drink tonight.
Uncle.
Let's start a business.
What? A business?
Hey. Do you want to say that after all your past failures?
Uncle. I will succeed no matter what.
I will do it, even if I die trying.
Or I won't be able to rest in peace.
I can't go out like this.
Hey.
I'm sick of even thinking about businesses.
Even if it's tiny, I'd rather live on a salary.
Are you sure about that? Did you change your outlook on life?
Darn it.
That's so hard.
You said you'd save up and buy my dad a house.
How will you do that on a salary?
Do you think that's possible?
Many drops make a shower.
You save up to buy a house. Money doesn't appear from thin air.
Uncle.
Come and work for me. I'll pay you.
You're really sure about this.
Do you have a good business idea?
Are you in or not?
Okay, then. Fine.
Rather than work for that weird lady,
I'd prefer to work for you.
You'd better pay me on time.
You bet I will.
So are we doing this?
Yes, boss.
Tada.
Darn it.
That's gross.
What are you doing here, Mi Rim?
I came in because I had a feeling you two would be here.
Now that you're here, you might as well join us.
It's urgent, so drink where you are.
No, don't. Ma'am, can you get her out of here?
- Don't be silly. - Can we have another glass?
After a few days,
he'll stop missing Ms. Park, right?
He's young, so he'll forget her soon.
From now on, I won't hire a tutor.
I will take care of everything. I will look after them.
Why is he burning up?
Sir.
This is bad.
Se Jong has a fever. He's burning up.
What?
It's not bad enough to go to the ER.
I gave him a pill. The fever will go down soon.
If something else goes wrong, give me a call right away.
I will. Thank you, Dr. Kim.
Ms. Cho. Have Mr. Kang get the car.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Kang. Drive Dr. Kim safely.
I will.
Shall we?
Has the fever gone down?
Yes. It's much better now.
I think you can relax.
Now that he's better, you can go home.
You were a great help today.
Not at all, sir.
You need to work today.
Go and rest. I'll stay with him tonight.
My child, the chairman,
and me.
I wish this moment could last forever.
Ms. Cho.
I'll stay with him tonight.
Very well, sir.
I'll bring you a cup of tea.
My gosh.
Ms. Cho, are you still here?
I might have to stay the night here...
because of Se Jong.
You do so much for us. You can't even go home.
Are the kids still up?
No. It's for the chairman.
He didn't finish his dinner because of Se Jong.
My gosh. You're so sweet.
Thank you so much.
It's nothing. I'm just doing my job.
No, don't say that.
This house wouldn't function without you.
Oh, right.
Take this to the chairman before the tea cools.
You don't have to worry. You can go to bed.
Yes, of course. I'll go to bed.
Go on.
Does she have a thing for Young Guk?
She wouldn't do so much for him...
if she didn't, would she?
Ms. Cho is the perfect person to become the woman of the house.
Right?
She couldn't believe it herself...
that neither of them...
could come clean about their relationship.
She thought the truth would get them both fired...
and then she would have nowhere else to go.
Her story...
broke my heart.
My situation is a long story,
but when I joined as the live-in tutor,
my dad had already been hired as your driver.
It really was a coincidence!
Dad.
Se Jong. Do you feel better?
Dad. Can't you ask Ms. Park to come back?
I miss her so much.
Se Jong.
Ms. Park can't...
She made a promise with me.
She said she'd stay with me...
until I'm as big as Se Chan.
But I won't be as big as Se Chan for a long time.
Dad, please bring Ms. Park back.
I don't even need a Christmas present this year.
All I need...
is Ms. Park by my side.
All right, Se Jong.
I'll bring Ms. Park back.
Really?
Of course.
I'll bring Ms. Park back,
so go to sleep.
Ms. Park will be heartbroken to see you sick.
Dad, is that a promise?
If I close my eyes and go to sleep,
you'll bring Ms. Park back, right?
Of course. I'll bring her back.
Now, go to sleep.
Mr. Lee, are you going somewhere?
Ms. Cho, can you stay by Se Jong's side?
I have somewhere to go.
Where is he going at this hour?
Hello?
Isn't this Ms. Park Dan Dan's phone?
Yes, it is, but she's working at the moment.
Shouldn't you stop calling if no one answers?
We're busy as it is.
May I ask where you're at?
Are you kidding me?
You should've cleaned a lot more by now!
Work faster, will you?
Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Lee,
children get heartbroken too, and they also have emotions.
You're an adult,
but they are kids who have lost their mother.
So how can you not consider them?
I feel so bad for the children...
Lee Se Jong.
Ms. Park?
My gosh!
- Nice! - Over here!
Welcome.
We talked on the phone earlier.
Where's Ms. Park Dan Dan?
You told me she was here.
Oh, the part-timer.
Through there. Please check out back.
Ms. Park, why are you working at a place like this?
Mr. Lee?
(Young Lady and Gentleman)
Ms. Park, where are you? Why aren't you coming home?
You see, Se Jong...
Ms. Park, please come back to live with us.
Ms. Park, that little minx, is back at the house!
Park Dae Bum!
How dare you dump me?
Se Ryeon!
Your daughter is drunk...
and causing a scene at our house.
How could you come here? Get up!
Mr. Park, what brings you here?
Starting tomorrow, I'll be the custodian here.
At the vacation home, leave the children to Ms. Park...
and make history with Young Guk.
Yes, Ms. Wang.
Dad, Ms. Park went out to find her phone,
but she still hasn't come back.
What do you mean?
Ms. Park!
Mr. Lee!
