Seo Jong Hee?

What's wrong?

What happened?

Yeong Sik.

Please.

Help me.

Here. This is the last bus to Seoul.

Thank you so much.

Wear this. The night air's cold.

You're empty-handed.

Aren't you going to ask...

what happened to me?

Most things in life happen for a reason.

But sometimes, it's better not to know what that is.

Sorry. This is all I have on me.

Thank you.

I'll never forget...

what you did for me today.

All right.

Did anyone here go into Room 948 to clean it today?

Well...

There was a Do Not Disturb sign hanging on the doorknob.

Gosh. This is really making me anxious.

For the time being,

I want you all to keep a close eye on it.

It's been four days since check-in,

and the guest hasn't even stepped outside the room.

They haven't ordered any room service,

so I bet they're skipping meals, too.

And you all know what that means, right?

Solo guests who lock themselves away are the ones we fear most.

If someone dies on our watch,

our jobs are on the line.

Oh no.

What's happening? Do you think something's wrong?

No way. It can't be.

Shouldn't we go inside and check?

How? I'm too scared to go in.

(I'm leaving food in front of the door. Please eat a little.)

(Thank you for caring about me.)

Hello?

Hello? Are you in there?

Hello? Please open the door!

Manager, the spare key for Room 948! Hurry!

Hello?

- Ma'am! - Stay away!

Don't come any closer.

Please, just try to calm down a little.

Just don't come any closer, please.

Okay.

I won't come closer.

You have to stop her, no matter what.

I'm calling 911, got it?

It's me.

The one who left you the note.

My parents...

I lost them in a childhood accident. Both of them.

Back then, it really felt like my world had come to an end.

Life felt like a punishment,

and I had more bad days than good ones.

But I'm still here, just trying to get through it all.

Just hoping that all this misery will finally come to an end.

So, please...

don't give up.

It will all pass eventually. All of it.

I suppose it will.

The pain will grow dull,

and I'll start to forget my daughter who passed away.

I don't want that to happen.

I want to go see her as soon as I can.

I miss her so much.

- So much... - But even if you do that...

do you think your daughter would be happy to see you?

Because if it were me, I don't think I would be.

I think I'd be devastated.

Knowing my mother gave up her life because of me.

Your daughter...

She would want you to live a good life.

And to be happy enough for the both of you.

She'd want you to see the flowers in the spring,

And in the fall,

to look up at the clear, crisp sky,

and just miss her every once in a while.

Do you really think so? Really?

Looks like all the new arrivals this season are power suits.

My style is a bit more classic, though.

I guess they're in style right now.

I'm not a huge fan of this style either.

As the nation's economy grows,

the big look that flaunts wealth becomes the trend, I suppose.

Why don't you take this chance to try a new style?

Your outward appearance can change your entire mindset.

You do have some classic pieces, right?

Yes.

My goodness.

It's beautiful. It really is.

I've never worn a style like this. I feel so awkward.

Not at all. It suits you better than you think.

See?

What do you think? It looks like it was made for her, right?

Yes, Madam Chairman, she looks absolutely stunning.

I didn't realise you had a second daughter, though.

She takes after you, Madam Chairman.

She's such a beauty.

Isn't she?

My second daughter is my spitting image, isn't she?

I only came to help you with your shopping,

but I'm the one who bought way too much.

I haven't even taken the tags off the clothes you bought me last time.

Wear them. Why are you saving them for a special occasion?

I'll just buy you new things when the styles change next season.

Wear them while you're young and beautiful, okay?

I already have more than enough.

No, it's too much. It's more than I deserve.

You're really something.

You're so perfectly balanced.

Never too much, and never too little.

Thanks to you, Jong Hee, I've felt so much more at peace.

Sometimes I start to think that my Seung Yeon...

must have sent you to me.

I'm happy about it, too.

Thanks to you, I get to go shopping at department stores...

and have tea at beautiful places like this.

If it weren't for you, Madam Chairman,

how would I ever get to enjoy such a luxurious life?

Speaking of which...

How would you like to stay with me like this from now on?

Excuse me?

I'm making you a proposition, Jong Hee.

Why don't you be my daughter? My adopted daughter.

I only had the wallpaper redone. Everything else is just as it was.

I hope you like it.

Gosh.

It's so beautiful.

You think so?

It is, but I've never had a room this big before.

Back when I was a bus conductor, the dorm room...

had almost ten of us.

We would share a dorm room not even half this size.

Listen.

From now on, I don't want you to talk about your past.

And I don't want you contacting people you used to know.

Because you're starting a new life now. With me.

Understand?

Yes.

(Episode 8: Among So Many Stars)

- Jong Hee. - Mom.

I don't have much time today.

My schedule is packed with classes.

I know.

But you have about an hour to spare, right?

Your daughter is so gorgeous, by the way.

How should I put this?

As an artist, I'm dying to give her a makeover.

To give her a complete style makeover.

She's such a perfect canvas to work with.

Really?

I'm sure that's just flattery, but it's lovely to hear.

Ma'am. Flattery? Not at all.

I may not look it, but I can't say something if I don't mean it.

Ma'am, people sometimes tell me I'm too honest to be in business.

Shall we head on up now?

You'd probably want to sit together while you get your hair done, right?

Right this way.

Watch your step.

Hello, I'm Cho Yong Won, the head stylist here at Juri.

Hello.

Staff stylist...

My name is Koh Yeong Rye.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Please take good care of me today.

Excuse me.

Yes?

My daughter doesn't want to look like she just came from the salon.

Please give her a natural, effortless look.

She really doesn't like to stand out.

Yes, of course, ma'am.

In that case, we'll skip the cut and just do a simple blow-dry.

Oh, my goodness!

Oh my!

That must have startled you.

You should have been more careful!

Sharp things scare my daughter. She's sensitive to anything pointy.

I'm so sorry.

I'm usually not this clumsy. I don't know what came over me.

Are you okay, sweetie?

Yes, I'm fine.

I'm so very sorry.

I'm so terribly sorry, ma'am. She's not usually like this.

Apologise to her again, now.

I'm so sorry.

Ma'am, we're terribly sorry. That must have frightened you.

I am so, so sorry.

Excuse me.

Yes? How can I help you?

I'm sorry to ask, but...

for today,

I'd like her to do my hair. Is that possible?

Pardon?

- Well... - Of course! Absolutely.

Our Ms. Koh here is very deft with her hands.

Ms. Koh.

Yes?

The styling cape.

All right then, for today,

I'll be the one taking care of you.

If you leave these in for a bit and then take them out,

it'll get super curly, just like you used a curling iron.

- Really? - Yes.

Where on earth did you learn a trick like this?

A little secret from my mom.

But just in case,

I'm thinking about maybe getting a cosmetology license too.

Let me see.

Again, I am so, so sorry for startling you earlier.

I'll be sure to train her properly so it never happens again.

So, were you pleased with your hair today?

Yes, I love it.

That's such a relief.

All right then, take care on your way out.

All right. Thanks for all your hard work.

Get home safe.

Goodbye. Thank you for choosing Juri Beauty Salon.

Good work, Ms. Koh.

Get this out of here!

Director.

(Yeong Sik's Restaurant)

(Love and Salted Seafood for You)

(Love and Salted Seafood for You)

What did I say is most important about sales?

The display. The window display rule.

In three seconds of seeing the clothes in the window display,

the brand's image is cemented in the consumer's mind.

Look at this. Doesn't it just make you want to buy it?

You can't even get this one simple thing right?

Ta-da! Looking good.

It's a dud.

What do you mean, "It's a dud?"

This thing right here. It needs to be in the center.

"Love and Salted Seafood for You" needs to be seen, loud and clear.

The brand name, get it?

- Okay. - Is that so hard?

By size.

Uncle!

Our little Su Jin!

Hey, that's enough. You'll make the poor girl dizzy.

She just ate a plate of dumplings. What if she throws it all back up?

Su Jin, come on down, okay?

You're as heavy as a sack of rice. Uncle's arm is getting tired.

Are you worried about me...

or are you worried about the kid?

You should pick a side.

- You're confusing me. - How am I confusing you?

I don't have time to bicker with you.

Just put her down already.

What a mouth on you.

Well...

Day off today?

I can tell since you're not wearing that crazy-red lipstick.

Mind your own business.

Hey!

Actually, I was just about to ask you...

Did Su Jin get her shots?

What shots?

Would you look at this?

You forgot again, didn't you?

Last month, I asked...

if Su Jin got her second chickenpox shot,

and you told me you'd do it this month and to mind my own business.

After you bit my head off about it,

you're telling me you still haven't done it?

I can just do it now. It completely slipped my mind.

How could you forget something so important?

Unbelievable.

And you call yourself her mother.

In this cruel world, who's Su Jin supposed to trust?

Hold on a second.

Why does she feel so warm?

- Does she have a fever? - Stop being so dramatic.

- A fever? What fever... - Wait.

What is with you? What...

She's running a fever.

For crying out loud!

For kids, even a low-grade fever is a fever!

Temperature is key for salted seafood. You think I'd get it wrong?

Su Jin, let's go see a doctor. Okay?

No, wait a second.

Hey, I'm coming with you!

The young lady sent us to escort you.

Koh Yeong Rye!

Hey!

It really is you, isn't it?

I missed you so, so much.

Jong Hee?

This isn't a dream, is it? It's you, right?

Yes, it's me.

Closet oddball Koh Yeong Rye.

Look who's talking.

Are you really Seo Jong Hee? The Seo Jong Hee I used to know?

That's right. It's me.

The wild and reckless Seo Jong Hee.

Hey!

So that's how you became her adopted daughter.

I guess there really is such a thing as fate.

Tell me about it.

I never thought my life would turn out like this either.

You were a little hurt earlier, weren't you?

Because I acted like I didn't know you.

I was definitely surprised,

but I figured you must have had a reason.

My mom doesn't really like talking about the old days.

Or meeting people from the past.

Really?

Does that mean I shouldn't be here?

She won't be back today.

She went to some business conference or something out of town.

This feels so surreal,

sitting here across from you.

I know.

- How about now? Does it hurt? - Gosh.

It hurts.

It really hurts.

You caught me off guard, closet oddball Koh Yeong Rye.

Still,

you've really changed. Your whole vibe is different.

- You think so? - Yes.

Not as much as you.

I've only changed on the outside.

But you seem stronger and more grounded.

It's hard to explain, but...

It's like you've become more impressive.

At the salon, you looked like a total pro.

Well, it's my job.

You know how I get obsessed with things.

That's true.

You're really one of a kind.

Let me show you my room. Come on.

- Okay. - Let's go.

It's a little pink, right?

It's my mom's style, not mine.

I'm a replacement for the daughter she lost, you know.

So I try to give her whatever she wants.

Want one?

I quit a while ago. My mom can't stand it.

I still use them to calm my nerves.

Right.

Yeong Rye, you should try this on.

I think it'd look great on you.

No, it's okay. Why would I wear your clothes?

Hey, since when have we ever been about yours and mine?

Go on, it's a gift.

All right.

Thank you. I'll put it to good use.

You're in college too?

Yes.

My mom said though it's late, she wants me to get a degree.

For equestrian studies.

What about you?

Did you give up on college?

Going to college was your dream, wasn't it?

I haven't given up. Not yet.

I'm planning to apply for night school this year.

I still have to help out with the bills for now.

It must be so tough, working and studying at the same time.

- Have a seat. - Okay.

How's your mom? And Yeong Bae and Yeong Mi?

My mom is at Youngeun Market.

She runs a small diner there called Yeong Sik's Restaurant.

Yeong Bae and Yeong Mi are in middle school now.

Already?

I miss them so much.

What about Yeong Sik?

Yeong Sik passed the bar exam and is now in judicial training.

Really? Gosh.

I knew he would make it.

That's so impressive.

What about Jae Pil?

Are you still in touch with Jae Pil?

Yes.

He's doing great.

He got into med school and is now an intern at a university hospital.

Jae Pil went to med school?

Well, he's been through a lot.

His family's department store suddenly went bankrupt,

and his father collapsed.

All Jae Pil could do was study.

Do you have a high pain tolerance?

You see, for an inpatient, the most dangerous thing is a fall.

If you wander around like this again without a guardian and get hurt,

you'll be in big trouble with me.

Does it hurt?

Yes.

If you're curious, we could all meet up sometime.

Hold your breath.

No.

I've thought about it, and I don't think it's a good idea.

I'm the one who dumped him, remember?

But Jae Pil still worries...

Hey, it's getting late. You should take our car home.

I'll let the driver know.

No, it's fine. I can just take the bus.

I'll just take the bus.

I was a bus conductor, remember? I'm more comfortable on the bus.

You don't get carsick anymore?

Well, every now and then.

Just when I'm not feeling well or when it rains.

Still a country girl, you see.

Here.

This is the diary I would write in whenever I thought of you.

I don't think I'll be needing it anymore.

So I want you to have it.

Okay.

You have no idea...

how much I missed you.

I once snuck out without Mom knowing and went to your neighbourhood.

But I couldn't find your house because of all the redevelopment.

Me too.

I missed you so, so much too.

I just had no idea where to even start looking for you.

You didn't even show up in my dreams.

Really?

Yes.

Well then, you can't run away from me now.

I've got you now, and I'm not letting go, okay?

You're one to talk. Don't you go running off again.

I'll never let you go again. Ever.

Go on, get inside and get some sleep.

Don't get all worked up and lose sleep over it.

Okay.

- I'm going now. - Go on.

I'm leaving.

Yeong Rye.

I'll be in your dream tonight.

See you in your dreams.

- I'm off! - Bye.

Bye!

Yeong Rye.

Every single day is so tedious.

I wake up, work, eat just to survive,

and sleep when I can't sleep at all.

And I'm terrified of the tomorrow that will follow.

Days that sparkle and shine like the ones I spent with you,

Will I ever have days like that again?

Yeong Rye, a miracle happened to me.

I'm a rich girl now.

If you were here with me, you'd be just as happy for me.

That I finally have a family that loves me.

I craved ramyeon so much I had to sneak out for some behind her back.

But it didn't taste the same as when we ate it on the rooftop.

It's not the ramyeon I miss.

It's you I miss so much.

I had a dream.

A dream that he was chasing me, bleeding profusely.

There was nothing in the papers, so I don't think he's dead.

So why didn't he report it?

I'm still so scared, Yeong Rye.

Sir? Excuse me, sir, I'm sorry.

Could you please open the door again?

Thank you.

Hey!

What did you just say?

Once I started digging into one thing,

like pulling a thread, all sorts of corruption started to unravel.

You framed the innocent conductors for skimming money.

When really, the personnel manager who was meant to supervise them...

was the one who cooked the books and embezzled the funds?

For over ten years to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars?

And if that wasn't enough, you used it to bribe the police.

If headquarters finds out about this...

No.

Actually, no. Headquarters is the least of your worries.

Hey, Koh Yeong Rye.

What are you getting at?

What happened that night.

I'm telling you to take it to your grave.

Besides, what Jong Hee did was self-defence.

If you press charges, I'll testify to that until the end.

The one who gets burned in the end...

is going to be you, Manager.

So...

Just bury it.

The whole thing.

Wait, but...

Why do bean sprouts have heads?

Wouldn't it be easier if they didn't so we didn't have to pick them off?

We're only picking them off because we're making braised monkfish.

The heads are more nutritious, you know.

Really?

Are they really more nutritious?

No part of a bean sprout goes to waste.

They're easy to grow, too.

The head and the stem, they're both full of nutrients.

Like Yeong Rye?

What does Yeong Rye have to do with this?

Yes, that's just like her, isn't it?

She's smart and so good at what she does.

And she has such a great personality.

She's a good daughter and very devoted to her siblings.

Gosh, even that stiff Mr. Han Gi Bok...

is wrapped around her little finger, right?

There isn't a single thing to dislike about that girl.

You think so?

- So, speaking of which... - Yes?

I'll be blunt. What about my Jae Pil for her?

What? Where in the world did that come from?

Why bring up Jae Pil all of a sudden?

Come on, can a man and a woman really be just friends?

They've known each other for ages.

Always attached at the hip, there has to be something going on.

Everyone at the hospital already thinks they're a couple.

Well, I guess I can see why people would think that.

No, this is terrible for our Yeong Rye.

It could ruin all her marriage prospects.

This is no laughing matter.

That's why we should set them up before that happens.

I mean, honestly, since we're on the subject...

My Jae Pil is quite a catch, wouldn't you say?

He's well-mannered and handsome.

He has a stable career.

The only drawback, if there is one, is that his family went bankrupt.

That's not a drawback at all.

Hey, but even if we agree on it, is that going to make it happen?

They're the ones who have to want it.

If a couple is meant to be, they'll find each other.

And if they're not, nothing you do will make it happen.

It's like how a doctor can't heal himself.

So anyway, you're on board, right?

Never mind being on board.

Didn't you have an appointment? Shouldn't you be going?

Oh, my gosh, you're right. When did it get so late?

Oh, no. what do I do? I'm so late.

- Hurry up and go. Goodness. - Okay, I'm going!

Anyway, I'm taking that as a yes, okay?

Those two?

Sook, put this away inside.

And boil a pot of water for me.

Okay.

Excuse me.

- Yes, please come in. - Welcome.

- Are you here for a meal? - No, I'm not.

This is...

Well, then.

Wait, what is all that?

What is all this?

- Were we expecting something? - Are you sure this is for us?

- I have no idea. Why would he... - Who sent it?

- Why did he just leave it here? - What is it?

- Bananas cost a fortune! Gosh. - What is all this?

Oh, my goodness.

Who ordered all this?

Are you here for a meal?

Ho Suk.

Auntie.

- Who are you? - Who is it?

It's me, Jong Hee. From a long time ago.

I was a close friend of Yeong Rye's at Cheongah Bus.

Wait, if you're Jong Hee...

The one who used to visit us all the time...

Yes, that's right. I'm that Jong Hee.

Oh, my goodness! I can't believe it.

Dear! Oh, my!

My dear child. It really is you.

My goodness, how have you been all this time?

We didn't know if you were alive. You could have at least sent word.

Our Yeong Rye was so worried, waiting for word.

I'm sorry.

I'm so very sorry, Auntie.

Goodness. I'm just so glad you're alive.

I'm so glad to see you're alive.

- My, you've gotten even prettier. - I'm home!

Me too.

Yeong Bae, Yeong Mi?

Hey, kids.

They've grown so much, haven't they?

What? Jong Hee?

Daeyang Group's only daughter is the Seo Jong Hee we know?

I was so shocked, my jaw just about hit the floor.

At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

But it was definitely her.

I'm hearing it now, and I still can't believe it.

How could Jong Hee...

My goodness.

Apparently, she saved her life, and she adopted her.

It's like something out of a drama, isn't it?

That's so Seo Jong Hee.

Yesterday, I was in such a daze, I just couldn't process any of it.

That's why I couldn't tell you.

Jong Hee.

Yeong Rye. You're here.

Jong Hee, you...

What are you doing here?

What's going on?

My goodness.

Well, look who it is.

It is. It really is our Seo Jong Hee.

Yes, it's me.

You rotten brat!

Where have you been all this time?

I know, right?

I'm sorry.

You made it.

You're here?

I told her to go upstairs and rest, but she insisted on helping out.

And, she's so quick, that Jong Hee.

When the dinner rush hit...

I don't know what I would've done without her today.

Still, Mom, why would you have her doing this...

I begged her to let me.

If I want to earn my supper, I have to do something, right?

You haven't eaten, have you? You can eat with me.

Just a minute.

Go on.

And about your driver...

Don't worry.

I told him you're old friends who helped me out a long time ago.

He's tight-lipped.

That's a relief, then.

I'll be going. You head inside. I'll wait until you're in.

But I'm okay.

Go on, hurry.

Okay.

Okay, I'm going. Get home safe.

Yes.

- Go. - Okay.

Take care.

Seo Jong Hee!

Yeong Sik?

It really is you.

I called the house, and Yeong Bae...

said you were here, but I had to see it for myself.

I'm glad you did.

You haven't changed much, though.

Or maybe you have. You're even more handsome now.

You, on the other hand, have changed so much.

If I'd seen you on the street, I wouldn't have recognised you.

Right?

That's what I think, too.

I keep getting surprised when I look in the mirror.

I even wonder if it's really me.

I always told myself I had to see you again someday.

You're my lifesaver, you know.

A lifesaver? Come on.

What do you mean?

If it hadn't been for you that day,

I never would have even thought about coming to Seoul.

We're not even close to even.

Remember when my mother had her accident?

It was thanks to you that we could restart our business.

Don't you remember?

Once I start making some real money,

the first thing I'm going to do is pay you back.

Forget about it.

Then treat me to a meal instead. Maybe 100 times?

These last few days have felt like a dream.

Yeong Rye, her mother,

Yeong Bae, Yeong Mi, Jeong Bun, and Ho Suk.

And on top of that, you too.

I'm getting to see all the people I've missed so much.

What?

Are you sure you've seen everyone you wanted to see?

Isn't there someone else?

Gosh, you.

You've always had a knack for seeing right through people.

Do you know what I envied most about Yeong Rye?

Having a big brother like you.

I've taken up way too much of your time.

And I plan on taking up a lot more.

Should we get going?

There was a call from the house a little while ago.

The Chairwoman has arrived.

- My mom? - Yes.

Thank you for the ride.

Mom.

You're back.

What are you doing here so early? I thought you were coming tomorrow.

That was the plan, but I was exhausted.

So I just hitched a ride with the President of Shinil.

You should've called. I'd have sent the driver right away.

But that car outside...

You saw it?

Today is a perfect example.

It would've been much better if you had your own car.

Stop refusing and take it. It's your gift.

Mom, I told you I'm fine.

Just use it. It's a dangerous world out there.

You know what they say. Strike while the iron is hot.

I just finished interviewing a driver for your new car.

Introduce yourself. This is who you'll be driving.

A pleasure to meet you. My name is Kim Jeong Sik.

You can just call me Driver Kim.

Gosh.

By any chance...

Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Yes.

It's just that you look so much like an old friend of mine.

For a second there, I thought you were her.

But that's impossible, right?

I look forward to working with you.

Right.

Tomorrow, at the Operia Hotel. It's Sungwoo Group's second son.

You're just meeting for coffee, so don't feel too much pressure.

And if it goes well, all the better.

I've polished it to a perfect shine.

To make sure it's worthy of its beautiful passenger.

Get in.

It is you, isn't it?

Your name was...

Seo something.

Seo Jong Hee.

That's right, Seo Jong Hee.

Ms. Seo. How in the world?

Gosh. What a life you're living.

It's seriously like something out of a movie.

To be honest, yesterday, I wasn't completely sure it was you.

But seeing you today, it's unmistakable.

It's the eyes and that slender jawline.

I knew it. I mean...

I've got a pretty sharp eye for a guy.

I'm sure you do.

To scope out women to hit on.

Did you have to be so blunt?

How embarrassing.

I've changed a lot.

Please, just forget the old Driver Kim,

the one who was so unbearably flaky.

I will. On one condition.

You have to forget my past, too.

Especially in front of my mom.

Of course. I figured as much.

Don't you worry. Once I put my mind to something,

I can be incredibly tight-lipped.

So, the Operia Hotel, right?

Ma'am?

What brings you here?

You're so busy.

Well, I was going to head straight to the hospital after work.

But I got called by a regular client who lives around here.

She insisted today was the only day she was free.

She was begging me to please just stop by.

She pleaded so much that I had to come.

Here.

Could you take this to Jae Pil for me?

It's a change of clothes, underwear, socks, and other things.

He's completely out, so I'm sure he's desperate.

Yes, I'll do that.

I'm not on the closing shift today, so I can go a little earlier.

Really?

That's even better then.

In that case,

since you're going anyway,

ask him to at least buy you a meal at the hospital cafeteria.

The food there is actually pretty good.

They even serve Western-style food sometimes.

No, it's okay.

Jae Pil's busy. I couldn't possibly.

Busy? What are you talking about?

He's busy.

Right, he's busy, but...

Ask him anyway.

I'm sure he'll treat you. Of course, he will.

It's not like you're a stranger. It's you, Yeong Rye.

All right, in that case... I'll make sure to get a good meal.

Don't you worry.

Okay, good.

All right, that's settled.

You'd better get going.

Okay, thank you.

All right.

(Ms. Seo Jong Hee)

Mr. Jo Hyeon U?

Yes.

You must be Ms. Seo Jong Hee.

I've heard a lot about you.

Please, have a seat.

How radiant.

The colour...

Is she a foreigner?

I'll be on my way.

How about...

Maybe next time, we could catch a movie...

No.

I'm afraid I'll be busy that day.

Well, then.

I didn't even say when.

So, I take it you weren't impressed?

The guy.

I could tell just by looking at him that he was a bit of a bore.

You know the type. A real hothouse flower.

Anyway, he clearly grew up without facing any hardship.

- But there's just something... - Can we please drive in silence?

Yes, ma'am.

(Yeonseo University Hospital)

Are you sure you've seen everyone you wanted to see?

Isn't there someone else?

Driver, please turn the car around.

There's somewhere I need to make a quick stop.

Yes, ma'am.

Han Jae Pil.

Yeong Rye?

Go on, I'll catch up.

What's up?

This is for you.

- What's this? - It's an errand from your mom.

She said it's your clothes and some other things.

She said she's going to be late today.

It was urgent, so she asked if I could drop it off for you.

Wait, why would she...

I still have plenty left, so there was no rush.

Really?

Why'd she do that then? Maybe she got mixed up.

Wait a minute. You didn't look inside, did you?

What?

I mean, you know...

You know, my underwear...

Hey!

What do you take me for, a pervert?

Why would I look at that? Seriously.

You're ridiculous, you know that?

If you didn't, fine. Why are you getting all red in the face?

You totally looked.

- I said I didn't look! - Why'd you look at my underwear?

I didn't! What is your problem?

Gosh. Let go! That hurts.

Seriously.

Stop with the nonsense and just buy me a meal.

Ms. Man Ok said you should treat me to a meal today.

Hey, your eyebrow.

I told you to get a haircut. Why trim your eyebrows instead?

You're such a mess.

So, why'd you look?

All right. I'll buy you a meal. Let's go.

Should I park here? Or...

No, let's go.

I'm all done here.

Do you know how much plant-based protein is in these beans?

For bone density, breast cancer, vascular health... You know?

It's a world-famous superfood.

So why won't you eat them?

My mom made me eat rice and beans so much when I was a kid.

I'm just sick of them, okay?

Look who's talking.

You're a grown man, and you still can't handle spicy food?

You're such a baby. Little kid, Han Jae Pil.

Hey, for your information, I can handle spicy food.

I just don't like it, that's all.

Want me to prove it?

No, it's fine.

Don't force it and fill up on water. Here.

Just eat these anchovies instead.

Here. Eat up.

All right.

I listen to you well.

I've thought about it, and I don't think it's a good idea.

I'm the one who dumped him, remember?

Jae Pil.

Yes?

Actually...

The other day...

Jae Pil! Code red!

Code red.

Chang Ui is flipping out again.

He's calling everyone in.

- Gosh! - Hurry up.

I'm so sorry. I got to go.

Yes, it's fine. Go on.

Finish all this before you leave, got it?

- All of it, okay? - Yes, just go.

I'll treat you to something good next time. Sorry.

- Okay. - Sorry!

Good work today.

Yes, I'll see you tomorrow then. Have a good night.

Right.

Gosh. Look at the talent here.

They weren't kidding when they said Seoul is the place to be.

It really is something else.

And Gangnam is the best of the best.

Hey, isn't that Choi Jeong Bun?

Jeong Bun!

It is. Choi Jeong Bun.

You know, I wasn't sure if it was you at first.

But of all the...

places for us to...

I mean, I was just passing by,

and I saw your exact look-alike walk right out.

Gosh. How have you been?

You're looking even prettier.

You and I...

I don't think we're on good terms to be saying hello like that.

What? Come on, even so...

You can't just walk away like this.

We go way back.

How about we go grab tea or something?

If I had time to sit around and chit-chat with you,

I'd rather go home, wash my feet, and just pass out.

Don't you agree?

We're done here.

Talk about an ice queen.

That just makes her more charming.

Jeong Bun!

I'm here.

Yes? What is it?

Mister, who are you?

And who might you be?

I'm Su Jin. Choi Su Jin.

Okay, Su Jin.

You shouldn't wander the market all by yourself.

Where are your mom and dad?

My mom's over there working.

And I don't have a dad.

You don't have a dad?

Why? Where'd he go?

No, I just don't have one.

I've never had one.

Dear.

- Su Jin! - Mom!

What?

I already told you to get lost. So why did you follow me here...

to bother someone else's child? What is wrong with you?

Bothering her? I was doing nothing. I was just asking who she was.

Save it.

Just go, okay?

Just hurry up and go!

Seriously, what is your problem?

Why are you being like this to a customer who just wants a meal?

I'm not serving you, so hurry up and get out!

Do you not hear me?

Just the sight of you makes my skin crawl.

I said, get out!

Gosh, all right, I'll go. I'm going, okay?

No need to get so worked up.

I'm sorry Mommy yelled like that.

(Juri Beauty Salon)

Yeong Rye.

There's a flower basket at the door. I think it's for you.

Who in the world would send me this?

I wonder who it's from.

Hey, don't you think Jae Pil sent it?

Who else but Jae Pil would send something like this?

You're right. It must be Han Jae Pil.

How many flowers is this? Gosh, there are so many.

There's no way Jae Pil would send something like this.

You're right. I'm the one who sent them.

It wasn't Jae Pil.

You?

I mean, why are so many clients asking for her these days?

At this rate, she'll make manager in no time.

I know, right?

Maybe she has some kind of special trade secret or something?

Let's go.

I can't begin until you tell me what style you want.

I won't say a thing even if you make it a choppy mess.

So, please, just do whatever you'd like.

I'm telling you,

I'll be your personal model.

Go ahead and try a revolutionary new style.

What if I take you up on that and just shave it all off?

I'm handsome enough that it wouldn't matter.

My looks don't rely on my hair, you know.

Well, you're not wrong, so I can't even argue.

Honestly,

you have a really nice head shape.

I suppose I do.

But you know, Yeong Rye, you seem to have changed a lot.

I have?

How so?

You remember how we talked about the right to pursue happiness?

Now, it feels like...

It feels like you're truly living it.

You smile more, and you're quicker and more confident with your words.

Now it seems like I don't need to be...

your Daddy-Long-Legs anymore, and I'm a little disappointed.

I've still got a long way to go.

I'll still be sending out an SOS from time to time.

So, please, keep being my Daddy-Long-Legs.

No!

I took too much off.

You didn't give me a bald spot like a goofy cartoon, did you?

Hey.

I'm kidding.

You said you wouldn't say a word. How many complaints was that?

I was just playing along.

So, what time do you get off, Ms. Koh Yeong Rye?

I'm not on the closing shift, so I get off in a few hours.

Really?

In that case, should I wait and treat you to dinner?

Someplace expensive and fancy.

I would absolutely love to,

but I have other plans.

You do?

What kind of plans?

Do you have a death wish?

- Okay! - I didn't! What is your problem?

Gosh. Let go! That hurts.

Hey, your eyebrow.

This way, please.

The patient fell from a horse at a club.

She was transported here unconscious.

Her vitals are relatively stable, but...

I think there's a chance she sustained a head injury.

Right, I've been briefed. Thank you.

- Take care. - You too.

- Let's get an IV line started. - Yes, Doctor.

Ma'am, you need to lie back down.

Ma'am, please relax. It's okay. You're in the hospital.

- Ma'am, please calm... - Ma'am, calm down.

Didn't you hear the nurse? You're not supposed to leave.

I'm fine. I'm not hurt.

I'm the doctor.

Get yourself checked out before you go.

You haven't changed one bit.

You're still as good at scaring people as ever.

Thank you so much.

Thanks to you, I got home safe and sound.

(A Hundred Memories)

It's the quiet before the storm for whom?

Yeong Rye, Jae Pil, and Jong Hee.

I'm not sure. Maybe even...

I'm her boyfriend.

You looked really close to Yeong Rye.

She's a friend I need in my life.

Just a close friend?

Of all the people who entered my life,

I thought those who left were fate and those who stayed were destiny.

Then what about those who came back?

Are they fate or destiny?

Or...
