You thief!

Grandpa.

Did I wake you up?

What are you doing at this time of the night, like a freaking thief?

I'm unpacking.

You told me to come back.

Grandpa.

I quit working at the chicken restaurant.

Episode 9
Moving Day

Boss, I'm sorry.

I was thinking about it all night

and I think it will be best for me to quit.

Bo Ah.

Since I can't take the furniture anyway,

just use it yourself.

I will take the rest of my things bit by bit.

I should've left sooner.

I'm sorry about that too.

Goodbye.

Sir! Sorry but we're on suspension.

I'm not a customer.

I came to meet the owner.

He isn't here right now.

Could you tell me what the issue is?

Well.

Where did he go?

- Who is it?
- Elder.

It's me, the chicken restaurant owner.

Elder, are you inside?

Bo Ah?

Bo Ah, you're inside right?

Bo Ah!

Who the heck put this here?

Bo Ah!

Bo Ah.

Boss, why did you come here again?

Can you open the door? Let's talk face to face.

I didn't have the guts to see your face, so I left a note and left quietly.

What am I supposed to do if you come here without any notice?

Bo Ah, you know it wasn't your fault.

It's all my mom's doing. Why must you be like this?

You don't know what I did.

Just go, Boss.

Bo Ah.

I feel uncomfortable, so I can't do this anymore.

I'm closing the door. Watch your fingers.

Why did you leave the store and come here?

Elder.

Let's go inside. I wanted to see you anyway.

The thing is...

What is this?

I said to move back in, not to take over!

Open the door!

What on earth? Geez!

I don't even care what my parents think of me.

What is it?

We're totally slaves now.

What are you saying?

What? There was that chef.

Whether he's Andus Kang—

Or Andre Kang.

What about him?

There, there, there. Bang, bang, bang.

Okay. Let's go, more more, more!

Oh, you're here, Chef.

Flour and milk and...

Flour and...

I see you need milk, too.

One large bunch of chives.

Yes, and some onions.

Our store's onions are

quite excellent.

Well,

do you need anything else?

Well, I...

There's not much to buy here.

Try to have more of a variety of things.

Yes, yes. If you need anything else,

I'll order it right away.

Excuse me, hey!

How will you pay?

Put it on the store's tab.

Deliver them by two o'clock.

Oh, delivery.

Yes, get back safely.

How humiliating.

Hey!

You'll just take it like that?

Then what should we do?

He's got our weakness.

If we make a wrong move,

Bo Ah could suffer in the middle.

What did he do to you?

I...

was sweeping in front of our store.

By any chance, did he force you to sweep in front of their shop, too?

No, it's not that.

While he was passing by

he said, "We should sweep in front of our shop, too."

Then he left.

It's getting clean.

It looks great.

I said I could tell Baek Ki Beom to do it.

No way.

We're already cleaning anyway, so we're just doing it.

Of course.

Even when Bo Ah was running a bathhouse,

we swept up to here every day.

Is that right?

Wait a minute.

Are those leaves, too?

I think over there needs sweeping as well.

Yes.

We're going there now.

Aigoo, this is productive.

Hey, what is wrong with you guys?

Are you stupid? A pushover?

If you start to give in like that, he'll climb on top of you.

What will you do then?

Will you continue to cater to that...

Oh my, Chef?

Hello.

The weather today is great, right?

It really feels like fall now.

Whats wrong with her?

Is she two-faced or what?

But what brings you by all of a sudden?

I was on my way to the real estate office.

I wanted to see some rooms.

A room?

I thought that a thief broke in to steal something in the early morning, but she stole the house.

Oh, right.

What?

What is this?

It's for a free exam coupon with the herb doctor.

I was thankful for you giving me more time on the rent.

Okay.

But, what happened?

Did she quit or get fired?

The thing is...

Just tell it like it is. I won't nitpick at silly things.

Did she cause a problem?

Honestly, my mom opened a chicken restaurant in front of our store.

What nonsense is that?

Come in, take off your shoes.

The bathroom.

The living room, and the bedroom

What do you think?

You cannot find a room like this in this neighborhood at this price.

I requested it especially for you.

I don't like it here.

What?

No, it's not newly constructed. But the condition—

Next.

That punk.

Is he lying about renting and just taunting me?

I should just...

What are you doing?

I'm coming now, Chef

So that's what happened.

I will do all I can to make her come back.

Don't worry.

What are you going to do?

Pardon?

It seems like she doesn't even want to see your face. How can you calm her?

How can you convince her to go to work?

Can I have two boxes of persimmons?

Yes.

Hyung.

What are you doing today?

I'm just on my way to my store. Why?

Did you eat lunch?

Not yet.

Mom, said to come over and eat.

What? Why would I eat lunch with Mom in this situation?

Right.

Alright, it's okay. I was just mentioning it.

I'll tell Mom.

Hold on.

No, I'm coming now.

Thank you for the food.

Thank you for the food.

The restaurant business makes it hard to have a meal on time together.

This is no way for a person to live.

It was the same when I worked at an office job, Mom, because there was so much work.

Business is going great because my son groomed it so well.

But what's the point?

You work all day and night, without weekends.

I did some rough calculations, and

after deducting wages, supply costs, and the considerable rent,

isn't this like working to benefit others?

Only the building owner gets to benefit.

Working at an office is also to benefit others.

Only the CEO benefits from it and you could get fired.

What is wrong with you guys?

Can I eat?

Alright, let's be frank.

This opportunity.

What do you think will happen if you open the store at the end of your leave?

Do you think your business will go well?

Thanks to you, it won't do as well as before.

At least you're not completely out of touch with reality.

Even now, you should pass the restaurant to me and start looking for a job.

I'll operate it with intent to expand, get a lot of premium on it, and then pull out.

I think you're mistaken. I didn't open up the restaurant to make money.

What?

Making money is definitely important. We need it to live and eat.

But I didn't leave my job just because I wanted more money.

That's not why I started my own business.

If it's not for money, is it for

fulfillment? The customer's happiness?

Are you trying to use such ridiculous nonsense?

Can I not do that?

Are you a kid?

I really like chicken.

I like people enjoying the chicken I make

so I will last longer than you will since it's something I like.

I came here today to tell you that.

Right, it's like that at first

because you're young. Because it's your first time.

But, why would an initial intention be called that?

Because it's the first time.

Do you think it would be the same after a year or two?

The work is hard, sales are down, and the bird flu shakes the store.

That's what business is like.

Never being able to eat at set meal times. Catering to customers' need.

There's nothing good about that for you to join in.

- Mom.
- Oh, right.

If you had listened to words, I wouldn't have started this mess.

I have to go tend to the store.

Can I eat now?

Yeah, let's eat.

Be understanding with Mom.

How can I understand this?

She stole my recipe and opened up a store next to mine.

It's true that Mom is being extreme, but she wouldn't be if you had started any other kind of business.

Mom was restaurant staff for a long time

because Dad wasn't making money while trying to become a professor.

Don't you remember?

I remember. Why wouldn't I?

Hello, yes?

- Ahjumma?
- Yes?

Two orders of spicy pork.

Two spicy pork?

Anything else you need?

More anchovies.

- Anchovies?
- And another soju.

Soju.

- You don't need beer?
- No.

Okay. I'll put make the spicy pork yummy.

Thank you.

As a mother, it's not acceptable because she knows how difficult it is.

Don't try to win with Mom.

I tried, but her motherly love is too strong.

Take your shoes off.

The bathroom.

The lights.

What do you think?

There's no way you don't like this place.

The security deposit normally starts at ten-million won,

but I got it lowered because I'm close with the owner.

They'll lower the security deposit to three-million won.

This isn't impressive.

What did you say?

I say it isn't impressive. Any other options?

Excuse me. Do I look easy to you?

What?

Why isn't this place impressive?

Tell me. This is a new building and a high floor.

There's a viewand it's facing north.

There's an AC, heating, and a washer!

Plus, there's an elevator!

Are you trying to screw me over?

No, I—

Right, I know I did wrong.

I know I did wrong, but is it okay to play with a person?

Because of you,

I'm selling parts and making calls...

Electric range.

What?

You asked me why I don't like it. It's because of the electric range.

What?

- Grandpa, what are those?
- What do you mean, what are those? They're persimmons

Geezer Oh sent this. It's his new crop.

He sent too much.

Take this to the restaurant owner.

What?

No, I can't go there.

Why can't you go? Go now. The balcony is too messy (to store these).

It's hard for me to face my boss right now.

When did you start caring for your neighbors so much?

This is too much persimmon.

Just leave it. I'll eat it all.

I'll eat two a day.

I'm collecting rent two months later because you told me to,

yet you can't do one chore for me?

What, what?

I'm going to tell him to pay rent this month.

Okay, okay.

I can just go,

but how will I carry this? It's heavy.

Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken

- Hello?
- Ki Beom.

- Come out for a second.
- Come out where?

I'm in front of the store so come out for a second.

I already left work.

Already?

There wasn't much to do,

so they told us to leave earlier.

Our boss should be there. Is he not there?

Forget it.

He'll probably see it when he comes down.

Bo Ah.

Grandpa told me to give this to you.

What is it?

It's persimmons. We had a lot so I brought you some.

I'll be leaving now.

Bo Ah, hold on.

I need to talk with you.

I already said everything. What is there to talk about?

Then forget about talking.

Help me with something.

What?

With what?

This place is too run down, right?

Its nice, I'll take it.

What?

It has a gas stove, and the sink is wide.

This is good.

You saw that one room, the one before,

and the one before that,

yet you want to lease this place?

I just said so.

Don't you see the mold?

This is semi-basement floor, so you don't get much sun.

Are you really going with this place?

There isn't much of a difference in rent.

The fire is strong and controls look easy.

I've already decided, I'll take it

When I was young,

my mom didn't allow me to have snacks.

As you know, my mom's a bit extreme.

Yes.

But whenever fall came,

she would make me dried persimmons.

My brother and I would eat them all

before they even finished drying.

Boss.

You don't have to try so hard.

I should've told you from the start.

I didn't have the strength and couldn't do so.

I will actually quit,

so don't do this anymore.

Honestly, I can't understand why you're going this far.

You know that it wasn't your fault.

I'm leaving.

Bo Ah.

Don't try to understand.

Can't you just let me go?

If you keep being like this, it makes it harder for me.

What is bothering you so much?

You have to tell me for me to be able to understand

I did it.

What?

I did all of it.

It's all my fault.

Your business suspension

and giving out those awful flyers.

Entering the chicken competition,

- and ruining the soap—
- That...

I tried to close down the restaurant.

I started working here for that very reason.

Don't you know?

I told you before,

someon's trying to ruin your business.

I think

that it was Bo Ah.

Bo Ah, enough now.

I have to win in order to market the store.

Boss, I didn't see you that way,

but are you trying to rig the competition?

You have to win fair and square.

Bo Ah, what is this?

What do you think? Isn't it much better?

♫ You warmly hug me ♫

You must think poorly of me.

Why am I acting this way over this bathhouse,

you can't understand, right?

But this bathhouse that you're trying to take from me

is all I have left.

I gave up everything

I wanted to do and become.

It's all I have left.

Am I not allowed to live like this?

Why are people so cruel?

♫ You look apalling in my dream ♫

♫ When I'm down ♫

♫ When I get sad, Lucky in my world ♫

♫ You hold me tight ♫

♫ like a dream ♫

Open the door!

♫ I'm so happy ♫

You should come out and eat.

Are you still sleeping?

Punk.

♫ I make another wish ♫

Her old habits are coming out again.

Why is she acting like this?

I don't understand.

♫ I always smile like this ♫

♫ No matter what the world puts me through ♫

♫ I never want to show my tears ♫

♫ Even to you, who don't know my feelings ♫

♫ I'm relieved that I can watch ♫

♫ you smile from afar ♫

♫ Come one step closer ♫

I knew this would happen.

Are you going to live here like this?

Open the door. I'm in front of the restaurant.

You look funny right now.

Did you know?

What is it?

Hurry and wash up then come.

What?

Come eat with me.

This episode is about quite a famous restaurant.

I have to taste the food before filming.

I don't feel like going by myself.

I'm not in the mood right now.

I'm sorry but go with someone else.

Is there a different mood for eating?

Shut up and come with me. It's an expensive restaurant.

What? Did something really happen?

It's my problem. I'll take care of it.

It's because of Bo Ah, right? I told you to be careful of her.

Why don't you listen?

I'm saying this because I'm worried.

- So Dam.
- Okay.

If you don't want to listen to it, I won't say anything.

Just eat with me. Just consider it a change of scenery.

Stop.

What?

Stop being good to me.

I''m not going to date you again. I don't feel the same.

You seem to be mistaken.

Having feelings for you is up to me.

So it's up to me whether I want to treat you well.

Ignore it if you don't like it. Turn me down as you did now.

It's up to you.

I won't chase after you forever.

I'm doing this now because I like you.

I'm being an idiot because I can't control how I feel.

I'm going to leave you if I find someone else.

So when I look at you,

look back at me.

Don't regret it later...

Like I am now.

It won't come off.

What are you doing right now?

No, I wanted to help too.

You have to apply masking tape before you paint.

Exactly, what will you do about this?

It's all ruined.

You can erase it later.

Right?

Chef, just stay still.

That's your way of helping.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

Thanks. I'll enjoy the meal.

I called you in place of him. Nothing to be grateful for.

Who cares if I'm a substitute.

I favor eating out these days. I get indigestion eating at home.

Why?

My mom stays at my house nowadays.

She's not here temporarily. She settled in for good.

Thank you.

I'm ready.

For what?

I have to repay you for the food.

Criticism, gossip, resentment. Let it all out.

All the women who resent Choi Go come looking for me.

What?

What girls?

My mom and you.

Eat.

I said I'm fine.

Everyone picks on me these days.

Come at me.

In the past, he used to say he liked me and followed me around.

You know, right?

I do.

The tables have turned for the worst.

Do you know how high in the air his head is?

People need to learn how to be humble.

Exactly.

You're his older brother. Shoudln't you scold him?

I'm pitiful, right?

You pay.

Is it not working.

Shine the light closer.

It's not going in.

- It worked.
- I'm turning the lights on.

One, two, three.

How is it?

Well, it's not bad

What? I went out of my way to help.

Enough. Order four bowls of black bean noodles.

My treat.

What about a big serving of sweet and sour pork?

Call!

Jackpot!

Go away.

What about American food instead of Chinese?

Do you need help with something?

No, it's fine.

You worked hard. Rest.

Eat.

It might look like this, but you can eat it.

Thanks for the food.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Seems to be alright?

It's tasty.

It really is.

He must really be a chef.

It's really tasty.

Yummy.

Very.

Really.

Proper Chicken is here! You must start with the legs. "It's so delicious," I said as I was eating.

The food was amazing.

Good day, this is Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken.

Did Bo Ah really quit?

Yeah.

So he's her replacement?

He's in charge of deliveries. I asked Hwang from the real estate office.

I asked for someone to do deliveries and not someone useless like you.

And they said it had to be him.

What is that?

Flyers.

Since we were closed for two months, we need to let the customers know we are open again.

It's a good idea.

Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken

I'll go distribute the flyers now.

In the meanwhile, Kim Ki Beom—

What is this?

I told you, a flyer for the reopening.

I'm asking about the price.

What event is this?

How long will it last?

For now, I plan to keep selling at that price.

Really?!

If we use this price, what is left?

Nothing, of course.

What are you thinking?

This is Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken.

It's just down the street.

Ah, yes.

Is this price correct?

Of course.

Let's just eat here.

I heard online that it is really tasty here.

The taste is the same.

To be honest, this restaurant stole our recipe and then opened.

If you don't find our chicken tasty, you don't have to pay.

Seriously? Let's go there.

What are you doing in front of my restaurant?

I'm handing out flyers, as you can see.

Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken
Big Sale

You! Have you lost it?

Do you want to go bankrupt?!

Why are you doing business without any profit? Why?

One of our restaurants has to go out of business in the end.

What's the point in dragging it on? I want to end this quickly.

Fine. You do it your way.

See who wins in the end.

We are Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken. It's straight down this road.

Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken.

What are you, the living dead?

Why are you hiding in your room all day?

Come out of there!

It's time to eat. You must be hungry.

I thought you finally came to your senses.

What happened?

You even quit your job. Are you going to live like that?

Wh-What's wrong?

Grandfather.

I'm sorry.

For what?

I've been immature.

I think I made everyone around me suffer.

I'll live like a decent human from now on.

I won't worry you.

I won't make you worry.

Here's the chicken.

Hello?

Yes.

What's the address?

Is it the same price for delivery?

Of course.

Welcome to Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken.

Please follow me, this way.

Is this seat alright?

How many should I fry?

I'll fry them from here. Take care of the dining hall.

And be especially mindful of table three.

They are important guests.

Who?

They're food bloggers.

- I invited them to visit our store.
- What?

What?!

Bo Ah, what happened to you?

We couldn't contact you for days. I heard you quit?

I'm sorry for worrying you.

I was just hurting a bit.

Hurt? Where?

Now I'm fine.

After resting for a few days, I'm fine now.

That's a relief.

I'm hungry.

We should go to the restaurant out front and...

"Ajumma, two pork stir-fry, one tofu stew, extra rice!" What do you think?

Deal!

Without the extra rice.

Why? Do you not want to eat fried rice?

No, I have to go.

I was just stopping by to say hello.

Where are you going?

An interview for a part-time job.

I can't live like this forever. I should live diligently.

What?!

I'll call you later. See you.

You're going?

Already?

What was she saying?

I think she said she wanted to live diligently.

Was that just me?

Is she still sick?

How was it? Did you like it?

It was good.

Please take care of us.

Yes.

Take care.

You're not taking money?

What's the difference between this and buying reviews?

I have no choice. Everyone else does this, too.

On top of that, I have competition next door. I need to survive.

Let's talk outside for a minute.

Why are you like this?

What do you mean?

I know things are worse than before. But lowering prices

and buying reviews? How long can this last?

Are you really going to go under?

I told you.

I had no other choice—

What did you say when the other chicken place opened up?

Let us just do our business. There's no reason to feel swayed. Did you or did you not say that?

This is the kind of competition that bankrupts businesses. You know this.

Similar shops open around successful ones.

It's common.

This is different.

They stole our store's recipe and—

How is it different?

Look on the internet. Employees taking recipes to open their own restaurants

happen all the time.

At times like this, instead of trying new tricks,

- we need to stay solid and constant.
- Why can't I try new tricks?

Both my mother and Bo Ah, the people closest to me, were trying to ruin me!

So what do you want me to do?!

Just let it go to ruin? I need to do something about it!

Then be angry. But don't do something strange about the restaurant.

If you're honest, you are just angry

at your mother and at Bo Ah.

Go get mad at them. Conduct business with a clear head.

Resume

Would a night shift be alright for you?

Of course.

I'm a night owl, so I sleep during the day and am awake at night.

I worked with her, so I can tell you she's no good.

What?

Boss...

She was only thinking of ruining the store.

The point is, don't hire her.

We need to talk.

Boss. Are you being serious?

I mean, I get that I was wrong

and I am sorry.

So I thought about not harming another person and living diligently.

But then you— Why did you come here?!

To get mad at you.

What?

If my mom wanted to talk to you, you should have told me first,

and you shouldn't have revealed the recipe so carelessly.

Boss...

I couldn't believe that you would send a bomb to work.

Do you know that it was a crime?

And even with the Chicken Taste Competition,

I kept quiet because I didn't want to seem narrow-minded,

but you watched me preparing hard for that

and yet you still entered and won.

How could you? Tell me.

That's why I told you I am sorry.

And even the flyer.

I told you not to hand them out.

Is it enough if the result was good? You had bad intentions.

And... Why did you quit?

I told you not to.

Boss...

I need you.

Don't go somewhere else! Stay by my side!

Because... I like you.

What?

♫ Yeah ♫

♫ Love love I’m falling in love ♫

♫ I’m only getting filled with reasons I like you that are becoming countless ♫

[The Best Chicken]
♫ I’ll never become the source of your tears ♫

You did well Bo Ah.

Let's keep it a secret that we are dating for now.

Honey is dripping from your eyes!

What are you doing there?

You're the worst!

Just being with you makes me happy.

So cheesy.

What is this?!

You should have told us!

Dukdam and our families are being taken for idiots.

I even did something terrible!

Come back to your senses!

♫ Love love ♫

Grandfather.

♫ reasons I like you that are becoming countless. ♫
