(Episode 20)

Did you forget something?

Wait, you're sleeping here?

How did you know?

I told him. Why did you run ahead? I told you to wait up.

What were you thinking? Leaving the door unlocked like that?

I was just going to read this, then lock up.

Whatever. Get up. You're coming to my place.

No, really. I'm more comfortable sleeping here.

Stop being stubborn and pack your things.

- Seriously, I said I'm fine. - So when did you two get so close?

Oh, we dropped formalities over drinks.

Turns out she's younger than me.

I see.

Anyway, let's get going. My aunt told me to bring you over.

If you don't listen, I'll tell my aunt to fire you.

Gosh, that's a low blow.

Let's go.

Some stuff happened in the area, so we're worried.

Something happened?

What was it?

- Over here! Here! - Hey, Officer, over here!

- Here! - Get out of the way! Darn it!

No!

Darn it!

Hey! No!

Hey, Dong Ik! Hey!

Dong Ik! Stay with me! Dong Ik!

Dong Ik! Don't move! Stay still.

Hey. Oh, no.

Hey, you... Are you okay?

I'm okay. I think it's just a little sting.

- Are you sure you're okay? - Yes, I told you I am.

My goodness.

What's going on? Is he hurt?

The suspect! He went that way! Quick!

Hey! Stay with me.

Darn it...

Let me go!

- Darn it. Hey, let me go! - You jerk!

You're under arrest for aggravated robbery.

You have the right to an attorney and to make a statement.

You have the right to remain silent and to contest your arrest.

- Understand? - Darn it.

You little...

Gosh, what do we do? Darn it... Hey! Can you get up?

Yes, I told you I'm fine. It was just a little sting.

Goodness. What are we going to do? Oh, man.

- What happened? Did you get him? - Yes. What about you two?

- Are you okay? - Dr. Gong!

Hey! Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?

Why are you here? It's dangerous. I told you to stay in the clinic.

- Dr. Yang, are you hurt? - Oh, no, I'm fine. Nothing serious.

What do you mean, "fine?" Come on. Let's go to the clinic and treat it.

- Officer Jung, are you okay? - Yes, just a scratch. I'm fine.

No, really. Officer Jung, you should get that cleaned up too.

No, that's okay. I just needed to see you were okay.

I should be on my way.

- But it'll only take a second. - It's fine. You've had it rough.

Come on, let's hurry up and go. Get a move on!

Nurse Oh, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have called Dr. Gong. I bet you were really scared.

I was a little startled, but I'm okay.

Will he be okay without stitches?

Yes, it's a superficial cut.

But man, seriously...

Hey, you could have been seriously hurt.

Yes, tell me about it.

Wow, I guess this coat saved my life.

Hey, but what made you think to take a knife for me?

Oh, it was... I don't know. It was just instinct.

Because it would hurt me more to see you get hurt.

My gosh.

This guy, seriously.

Still, why is a young woman sleeping at a restaurant?

Apparently, she's from the US.

I don't know the details either. I'll ask her when she gets here.

- Mom! Auntie. - Hey! Why are you by yourself?

Hey! What are you doing? Get in here.

Hello. I'm sorry for coming by so late.

I really feel bad about this. I'll just go sleep at a 24-hour spa.

Nonsense. I'm the one who told her to bring you over.

Come on, say hello. This is Eun Bin's mom.

Hello.

- What? - It's you, right? That little brat.

That weird woman...

You two know each other?

What? How?

Wow, that's wild.

- It's just that... - It's nothing, really.

It's late. You should go up and rest.

Right. Let's head on up.

Thank you for letting me stay, just for tonight.

Okay, this way.

Gosh, and he hasn't even called.

I wonder what's going on.

- Hey, take it easy. Walk slowly. - I'm okay.

- Hey, man. We're here. - Okay.

Honey.

My goodness, what happened? Are you hurt?

It's just a little something.

There was an incident at the market.

What kind of incident?

A robber came charging at me.

Dong Ik jumped in to block him and got grazed by the knife.

A knife...

- A knife? - It's okay, honey. Just a scratch.

Where? Let me see. Where is it?

Look, Jeong Han gave me first aid. Don't worry.

He got hurt because of me. I'm so sorry.

Hey, stop being so dramatic and get going, okay?

Yes, okay. Hey, you can't let this get infected,

so be really careful to keep it dry. Got it?

Okay, got it.

- See you. - Yes...

Again, I'm so sorry about this.

- Take it easy. All right. - Yes. Don't worry.

Let me see.

- I'm fine. - You're bleeding.

I'm fine. He patched it up well.

Honestly, what is all this?

Shouldn't we go to a proper hospital or something, honey?

No. I told you, I'm fine.

But honey, more importantly,

what am I going to do?

What is it?

I didn't get to tell Jeong Han.

Since Hyun Bin said he'd tell Gong Ju Ah,

he'll probably find out when he gets home.

Seong Mi, I got this.

Between patients, filming your show, and even modeling,

you're overdoing it these days. You should go get some rest.

He's right. You have to be up early for work tomorrow.

Go on, rest. Okay?

This is how I relax.

Having stable interactions with my family...

calms the brain's stress response and balances the nervous system.

So it's about relaxing your mind, not your body.

Exactly, Mother.

Anyway, I wonder why Jeong Han is so late.

He's likely hanging out with Bucket after his late shift.

Just the two of them. Oh, brother.

That reminds me. I went to Ju Ah's office earlier,

- and I ran into Bucket's wife. - At her office?

- I'm home. - You're back.

- Ju Ah. Hey, have you had dinner? - Yes. I'm going upstairs to rest.

- Okay. - So you met Dr. Yang's wife?

Guess what? She was trying to give the VP...

homemade ginseng chicken soup.

For Taehan's sick chairman in the hospital.

Oh, my.

- Wow, that's laying it on thick. - I know, right?

- I tried to stop her. Guess what? - What happened?

- She actually listened to me. - Oh, my, really?

Hey, Ju Ah!

What are you doing just standing there?

- Oh, where's Dad? - He's not back yet. Why do you ask?

No, it's nothing...

(Breadcrumbs)

I was going to make you some Argentinian food.

I was waiting to surprise you with it,

but then your mother came in, so I hid.

Looks like nobody knows yet.

They'll flip out if they find out. What am I going to do?

Yes.

You sure you won't be uncomfortable?

You have such a kind heart, Eun Bin. Yes.

Get some sleep. I'm hanging up.

Oh, boy...

Dad, what's wrong? Are you hurt?

It's nothing. I just tweaked it a bit.

What? How did that happen?

What? A robber?

Hey, don't worry. I'm fine. It's nothing serious.

What do you mean it's nothing serious?

Wait, so you're saying you caught the robber?

What makes you think you could catch a robber?

Well, in the heat of the moment, I just saw red and jumped in, but...

- I nearly got Dong Ik killed. - What?

What are you talking about?

The robber had a knife and lunged at Dad,

but Dr. Yang got hurt protecting him.

- What? Bucket? - Yes.

Wait, so you're saying Dong Ik was stabbed?

Luckily, it just grazed his side. The wound isn't deep.

But he's such a scaredy-cat. He panics if he even sees a bug.

I know.

My gosh. Thank goodness.

Wow, I'm so grateful to him.

Tell me about it. He's my lifesaver.

Wow. I feel like a princess.

It looks great on you. Wow, you're so pretty.

But Eun Bin, why are there two pillows?

How could I sleep in this bed alone? Let's sleep here together.

No, it's okay. You sleep in the bed. I prefer sleeping alone.

Don't you dare ruin my fun.

Being here with you like this...

I feel like we're sisters. I'm too excited to sleep.

You know you're really cute, right?

- You think I'm cute? - Yes.

I think Woo Jae finds you super cute too.

Really? Woo Jae said I'm cute?

He didn't say it out loud,

but that's totally the look on his face when he sees you.

I knew it! Whatever.

You are really cute.

Thank you.

By the way, how do you know my mom?

Earlier, you were calling her rude and a weird lady, weren't you?

Well...

Your mother almost hit me with her car.

- Really? - Yes.

But instead of apologizing, she acted like I was the crazy one.

I see. My mom can be like that sometimes.

She didn't seem too happy about me sleeping over.

No, don't worry about it. My mom doesn't hold grudges.

That's a relief.

You're not much like your mom, though.

Right?

My mom looks so young and pretty, doesn't she?

Actually, she's my stepmom.

- I see. - Surprised?

Hardly. I was adopted.

Oh, I see.

Surprised?

Hardly. But you turned out really great.

That's because I had great adoptive parents.

Looks like you did, too.

Right? My stepmom gave me so much love.

We have so much in common, don't we?

- Want to stay up all night talking? - Yes, let's.

Yes! Great!

So? What brings you to Korea?

You were tossing and turning. Why are you up already?

You should skip your morning exercise today.

No. I need to get out there.

How's your wound? Let me see.

No, I kept an eye on it all night. It's not oozing. It's fine.

I need to wash my hair.

I'll do it. Just wait a second while I get your clothes.

No, Se Ri.

I'll take care of it myself from now on.

Come on. It's not like it's a big deal.

See? It's not even that hard,

but I've always made you do it.

- Don't do it anymore. - Then what am I supposed to do?

Live your own life.

Do whatever you want, go wherever you want,

and eat whatever you want. All right?

I should've told you this a long time ago.

I always said you should,

but I could never keep my promise.

I...

I'm going to get through this on my own, honey.

This time, I'll prove to you I've really changed.

All right.

My goodness. What is all this?

Min Seo made it all. American style.

Thank you for letting me stay the night.

You didn't have to do all this.

We've got pancakes, a veggie omelet, tomato soup...

And what did you call these again?

Home fries.

You parboil the potatoes and then pan-fry them in butter.

She made all this with stuff from the fridge. Isn't she amazing?

Yes. It's amazing she can do all this.

My parents both work, so I learned by taking care of my siblings.

Mom, she's a med student at Johns Hopkins.

She's taking a break from school to travel right now.

Min Seo also helped Ji Hu with his English homework earlier.

My gosh. Really?

But why do you sleep at the restaurant?

Oh, the thing is,

I had my travel money stolen at a guesthouse.

My boss will give me an advance, so I'll find a place to stay soon.

Why don't you stay a few more days until you find a place? Right, Mom?

You can if you'd like.

No, it's okay. I was taught not to impose.

One night is more than enough.

I wish she'd just stay. This looks delicious.

- This is it, right? - Yes, that's good.

- There. - Thanks.

Are you okay?

Dong Ik is the one who got stabbed. This is nothing compared to that.

Wait, you're heading out already?

I'm going to go check on Dong Ik.

Should I call him and thank him?

Are you that grateful? Because Dong Ik saved my life?

How can you even say that?

I honestly didn't know he'd go that far for me.

I was surprised too.

It wasn't a conscious decision, you know.

It was a protective instinct. His body just reacted.

Wow. So you're saying deep down he really cares about me?

You could say that.

- Cooking up a storm so early? - It's oxtail soup.

I simmered it all night for Dr. Yang.

We had oxtail?

Yes. Your uncle seemed so down, so I bought some to make it for him.

Is Dad doing any better?

When I saw him this morning, luckily, it hadn't gotten any worse.

Here, it's ready. Have a bowl before you go, okay?

- It's okay. I'm heading out. - Why? Have some and go with Mom.

I just feel like going by myself today.

I wonder what's up. Did you fight with your boyfriend?

I'm not telling you. I'm heading out.

Morning, Princess. Did you sleep well?

I just got up. I'm about to get ready for work.

Can you give me...

some time to think about it?

How's the wound?

It's fine, aside from a little throbbing.

Gosh, Dad. Why did you have to jump in like that?

It's a miracle it wasn't any worse.

Father, what are you staring at?

It's just... That part-timer looks familiar.

Me?

Dad, there you go again.

That's funny. I thought so, too.

The first time I met Min Seo, I felt I'd seen her somewhere before.

- Doesn't everyone think so? - Really? I don't see it.

I guess I just have one of those faces.

Wait, you made all of this yourself?

Yes.

Why won't this thing work?

For crying out loud. Use this.

Goodness!

What? You're so jumpy.

Hey, why is my heart pounding so hard?

Honey, I think it's starting.

From getting stabbed last night. What's it called? That thing.

Right. What was that called again?

It sounds like post-traumatic stress disorder.

Oh, I mean, PTSD.

Right. Post-traumatic...

Wait, so you're saying when my brain sees a knife,

it thinks I'm in danger?

Yes, exactly.

Limit your trigger exposure for now. Especially sharp things.

You're such a coward. Why did you jump in like that?

It really is a relief you're okay.

Se Ri, you're going to have your hands full.

He's going to be such a baby about it.

No!

I promise I won't be like that anymore.

From now on, don't rely on Se Ri. Take care of yourselves, you hear?

- We're worried about you, Uncle. - Exactly!

Bingo.

Why, you little...

Dad, Se Ri decided to start studying and look for a place for her shop.

It's about time. That's music to my ears.

My gosh.

Good morning, sir. Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Hey! What brings you here so early in the morning?

What do you think? I was worried about you.

You must have been so shocked when Dong Ik got hurt.

He wasn't seriously injured, so that's all that matters.

Yes, sir.

Hey, did you run a fever or get the chills last night?

No. I think this much pain is to be expected,

and I don't have any other signs of infection.

Good. That's a relief.

I'll take you to and from work until you're all better.

Come on, let's get going.

Hey, Jeong Han.

Did your daughter say anything to you yesterday?

What? No.

- Why? Did something happen? - It's nothing. Never mind.

Right.

I'll just put it off for a day. Just one day.

Just one more day. Savor this happiness, Yang Dong Ik.

- Hey, easy. Mind your step. - Okay.

(Taehan Group)

You look like you didn't sleep well.

You don't look like you slept well either, Director.

I felt too guilty and ashamed.

You have nothing to be sorry for, Director.

Have a good day.

Wait.

Yes?

Dr. Yang...

He got hurt yesterday.

Hey. Well, it's not that serious.

I just got a small cut from a knife.

You're okay, though, right?

I'm fine.

Did you call because you were worried about me?

Why haven't you told Dr. Gong?

I told you to confess that you staged the whole thing.

I was going to tell him when we met.

But the timing wasn't right, you know?

Listen, your father almost died. Is that what matters to you now?

Yes, it's important to me.

Fine! I'll tell him. I said I would.

And do it yourself. Don't make my stepmother do it.

I said I got it! I'll do it, okay? I'll do it.

I swear, that kid...

Who did he get that from? So darn rigid.

(3H Acupressure Bed)

- How does that feel? - It's amazing.

You're back. Care for another look at the model I showed you last time?

No. I actually came to ask about something today.

- Sure, what is it? - It's about...

that ad you have posted. The one for new franchise owners.

Hey. What are you doing here?

I'm organizing the files for the meeting.

No, I mean, why are you doing it here?

I was on the Design Team, remember? This is my desk.

Here's the photo shoot concept and the final list of outfits.

We've finished Dr. Han's fitting...

and chosen Black Edition for the main cut.

I like it. It really captures that high-end, modern feel.

Who's in charge of on-set direction for the photo shoot?

I'll be handling that.

I see.

Looks like those two had a fight, doesn't it?

I wouldn't know anything about that, Vice President.

PR wants a behind-the-scenes video at the shoot.

- What does the Design Team think? - I think that's a great idea.

Showing a natural side of Dr. Han could increase brand relatability.

Ms. Gong, what are your thoughts?

Yes, I think it's a good idea as well.

After the shoot, we'll also conduct a video interview with Dr. Han.

Okay, in that case,

I'll prepare the interview questions and talking points.

Good.

Find out what's going on with them. Now.

We should probably stay out of it.

Understood.

Gosh, it's so obvious they had a fight.

- Who? Who fought? - You did.

With Director Yang.

How can an employee pick a fight with a director?

So, you hit him then? He looked like he'd been hit.

I should probably hit you first.

Seriously, mind your own business. Please.

But I thought your families made up. Why are you two on bad terms again?

Come on. You're so mean.

Hey, Gong Ju Ah. This whole cold shoulder thing...

Are we doing that or not?

We're doing that.

Come on, I swear I'll never tell the VP anything again.

You want me to sign it in blood? Hey, look.

- Do it. - You're serious?

Do it!

Are you working at the Design Office just to avoid me?

Yes.

Because I'm afraid I'll cave if I see you.

But if you won't even see me, what am I supposed to do?

I said we needed time to think, not that we couldn't see each other.

Yesterday... Why didn't you tell your family?

They'd be devastated if they found out.

Besides, after yesterday, my dad now sees Dr. Yang...

as his lifesaver.

My father will tell them.

He meant to mention it yesterday but couldn't.

Could you just ask him not to say anything?

So you want to just sweep this under the rug?

I'd rather our parents just didn't know.

Let's just figure out where we stand.

How much time do you need to think?

I don't know.

I'm just not in the right headspace yet.

I understand.

I'll accept whatever you decide.

So don't feel pressured. Take all the time you need.

I can wait as long as you need.

In that case...

Can I stay in the Design Office until I've figured things out?

(Sunny Korean Medicine Clinic)

What brings you here?

My mom wants you and your father...

to come to our clinic to eat. She made oxtail soup.

Okay.

Listen.

Thank you for saving my brother.

What?

I wonder if I could've done the same in your shoes,

but I don't think I could have.

Thank you so much. For saving my brother's life.

If anything happened to my brother, I couldn't have gone on.

So...

you didn't just save my brother. It's like you saved me, too.

Dong Ik.

Thank you. Truly.

You two are really something.

You're both so dramatic.

From now on, don't leave me out. Let me join in.

All right.

Let's all hang out together.

Let me know if you need more green onions.

By the way, where's Nurse Oh?

She went to take some to the police substation.

They're our lifesavers too, aren't they?

That's true.

After we eat, I'll hose the front. Want to join me?

Yes, sounds good.

Dae Han, you'll help out too, right?

Me? Yes, of course.

Are you done pouting now?

Who said I was pouting?

Please add more salt if it's too bland.

Right. Here you go.

My, it's seasoned perfectly.

And the broth is so rich.

You made this for me?

I'm sorry this is all I could do.

So eat up. I made plenty.

By the way, sir.

I have a patient who keeps getting indigestion,

and they feel bloated even if they eat just a little.

We've done an ultrasound and endoscopy,

and they've been to a big hospital,

but we haven't found anything abnormal.

So, how would you approach this with traditional medicine?

Well, I'd have to check their pulse to be sure, but...

if the circulation of qi and blood isn't smooth,

it can cause a solar plexus blockage and lead to indigestion.

I see. Then...

would you be willing to check their pulse?

If we only manage this with medication,

long-term use could cause some negative side effects.

So, if you're willing, sir, maybe we could combine treatments.

Dr. Gong, are you...

proposing a joint consultation?

Yes. As I recall,

you and my father used to do it from time to time.

- Right, they did. - Yes.

Dad.

Gosh, thank you, sir.

Thanks, Jeong Han.

Oh, please. I should've done this sooner.

Hey, let's at least get along from now on, okay?

This is nice, in more ways than one.

How about a toast with our bone broth?

If we toast with the bone broth... You can't chug it since it's hot!

It's hot.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Wow, this is delicious.

(Sunny Korean Medicine Clinic)

- Spray here, too! - Oh, here.

Hey, this is great.

- Hey, let me wipe it. - You want to?

- Yes, go ahead. - All right.

- Let's wipe as we go. - All clean.

- Right? - Hey, wipe over here, too.

- Sure. Here. - Hey! You've got to wipe here, too!

Hey, is it raining or what? Here, let me have that.

- Why? - Hold on. Attack!

- What are you guys doing? - Get this spot. This spot here.

Hey, you can't even spray right?

- Your turn! - Hey, give it here! Stop it!

- Stop! Stop it! - Why? What's wrong?

- Clean it up, quick! - All right.

Mom told us to clean. Are you cleaning or what?

Jeong Han, no!

Hey!

(Gong Myeong Jeong Dae Han Clinic)

Oh, well...

Gosh, if you're worried, just go. Stop being so antsy.

- Oh, no, sir, I'm fine. - Goodness, here.

(Warm and Reliable Police, Onjeong Police Substation)

- Hello! - Perfect timing.

Oh, you're here. Hello.

Here's some bone broth.

The pharmacist asked me to drop it off.

- My goodness. Thank you. - Oh, my.

What?

Oh, no.

Now that we've caught the suspect, I'll go reassure the shopkeepers.

- Gosh, I knew it. Seriously. - No, it's just...

Stay still.

Don't be such a baby.

Thank you so much for yesterday.

It was nothing. I should have gotten there sooner.

You were really scared, weren't you?

Did you sleep okay?

I didn't sleep well at all.

So you were really scared.

No. I was too excited.

What?

You were incredibly cool yesterday. I've totally fallen for you.

Oh, well...

Okay.

There, all done.

All right, put it down.

Oh, okay.

Yes, hello? Yes. Yes, this is Gong Dae Han.

There was an early withdrawal from your installment account,

so you lost your preferential rate and long-term benefits.

Right.

Just go ahead and close the account.

Okay, I'll head over to the bank. Yes.

(Gong Myeong Jeong Dae Han Clinic)

Yes, Dad. I confirmed the money came through.

Okay, I'll ensure it goes smoothly. Thanks.

Oh, boy.

Come on, I told you I'd peel that for you.

I can do it myself, you know.

Of course, you can. That's not what I'm saying.

So let me do it. Besides, Dad said not to make you do everything.

Honestly, seeing Min Seo was a real wake-up call for me.

She's younger than me, but she's so good at everything.

Wow, Se Ri, our Eun Bin is finally growing up.

Tell me about it.

So, Se Ri, how was the mattress store?

It looked promising, so I'm going to HQ for a meeting.

What about you, Dong Suk? When do you sign the store lease?

Right now, actually. My father just sent the deposit.

Unbelievable. Grandpa and Dad... I need money, too.

They're only investing in Mom and Aunt Dong Suk.

Eun Bin.

Why don't you try raising the start-up money yourself?

And how am I supposed to do that?

Get a part-time job like Min Seo.

I've never had to do that kind of hard labor.

By the way, Dong Suk.

I feel so bad about Ji Hu's tutoring.

Why? Did things fall through with that star tutor from Yeonjong?

Yes. It seems they're overbooked, so scheduling is difficult.

I'll find someone else.

No, it's okay. I'll take over now. You don't have to worry anymore.

You've got to be kidding me. Hello? What about me?

What? You're going to tutor Ji Hu?

Hey! Are you trying to ruin my son? You barely graduated yourself.

Barely is still a pass, not a fail.

You think I can't teach a middle schooler?

Then, Dong Suk,

why don't we let Eun Bin try it, just until we find a proper tutor?

Come on, Se Ri.

It'll be easier to convince Father if she works.

Just for a little while, okay?

Even if I agree, I bet Ji Hu will say no.

- I'll ask him. - There's no point in asking.

We'll see when I ask him.

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...

What? Why is his phone off?

It's off?

He should be at his academy by now.

Maybe his class has already started.

Who could this be?

- Yes. - Hello?

Yes, who is this?

- Is this Yang Dong Suk? - Yes, this is she.

You're Min Ji Hu's mother, right?

- Who is this? - I'm putting him on. Talk to him.

Hello? What are you talking about? Hello? Ji Hu?

Mom.

Ji Hu! Hello?

Where are you? Ji Hu, where are you right now?

Hello?

Who are you? Why do you have my son?

Where are you? Tell me now!

Ms. Yang Dong Suk.

If you want your son to live, you'll listen to me carefully.

I'm on my way now, just a minute.

Yes, I'm in front of the bank now.

Dong Suk! What's wrong? What's going on?

I'm about to wire the money, so don't you touch Ji Hu.

Don't you dare touch a hair on my son's head.

Hey, Dong Suk!

Let go! I have to go inside! I need to send the money!

Wait, what's this about Ji Hu? What's going on?

- Ji Hu's been kidnapped. - What?

Some guy says he has him.

Hello? I'm going to send 5,000 dollars right now.

I'll send it. As soon as you get it, you let my son go, all right?

- Give me that. - What are you doing? Are you crazy?

He told me not to hang up! Why did you hang up? He said not to!

- What right do you have to hang up? - Dong Suk!

This is a voice phishing scam!

No, it's not! I talked to Ji Hu. I heard his voice!

That's so you can't hang up and call Ji Hu.

His phone's been off all this time. That man has my son.

He said he'd kill Ji Hu if I don't send the money!

Dong Suk, look at me.

Who would kill someone for a measly 5,000 dollars? Think about it.

You see this exact scam on the news all the time. Can't you see that?

Gosh, I don't know. What do I do?

Dong Suk. Go to the police station right now and file a report.

Where's Ji Hu supposed to be? Tell me.

I'll go get Ji Hu.

Ji Hu! Min Ji Hu!

- Ji Hu. - I'm not him.

Sorry.

Excuse me. Do you happen to know where Ji Hu is?

Sorry, I don't.

Where on earth did he go? Ji Hu! Min Ji Hu!

Oh, who are you?

Me?

Do you happen to know where Ji Hu is?

Why was your phone off? Why weren't you picking up?

- What? - Call your mom. Right now.

Do you know how frantic your mom has been looking for you?

Call her. Now.

My battery died.

Good grief.

Here, use mine.

Is that your dad?

He's not my dad.

(Onjeong Police Substation)

Dae Han? Where are you? Did you find Ji Hu?

Mom, it's me.

Ji Hu!

Why was your phone off? Why?

I ran out of battery.

Mom, where are you?

Why were you looking for me? Is something wrong?

From now on, carry a charger. Got it?

I was just so worried.

All right. Hurry up and get to the academy.

Okay.

- What's going on? - They said you were kidnapped...

Looks like your mom got a scare from a voice phishing call.

Again?

Seriously, this has happened to so many kids at our academy.

Someone must have leaked all our information.

Right?

You should be at your academy. What are you doing here?

Your mom even called the academy.

I'm sorry.

It's my 100-day anniversary with my girlfriend.

- I'm sorry. - You don't have to apologize to me.

Here, eat up.

Finish this and make sure you go to your academy.

Wait.

Please don't tell my mom.

Goodness.

Here.

It's your 100-day anniversary, right?

Go buy your girlfriend some flowers.

Girls love flowers.

Bye.

Dong Suk!

Dong Suk! Goodness, hey.

Are you okay?

I was so stupid, wasn't I?

What are you talking about? Of course not.

I would've done the same thing. Anyone would have.

I was so scared...

I was out of my mind.

Ji Hu is all I have left.

The thought of something happening to him, too...

Thank you, Dae Han. Thank you so much.

Come on, now.

If you're ever in trouble,

you should've called your boyfriend.

Something like this happens, and he doesn't even show up?

What boyfriend? I don't have one.

What did you say?

As if anyone would be interested in someone like me.

What are you talking about? Everyone said you had a boyfriend.

They were talking about you.

- Me? - Yes.

They must've gotten the wrong idea. I don't have a boyfriend.

So that's what it was?

Yes, you dummy.

Dong Suk!

Who would be interested in someone like you?

Me. I like you.

I'm the one who worries about you.

I'm the one who misses you.

I like you. A lot.

(Damga Charcoal Grill)

Did you sleep well at Eun Bin's last night?

Eun Bin and I talked all night, so I only got three hours of sleep.

Eun Bin's a lot of fun, isn't she?

Yes, she seems like a really lovely person.

Yes.

So, why aren't you two dating?

What?

It seems to me that you like her, too.

Eun Bin's just like a little sister to me.

I've known her since she was little,

and we know each other really well.

So you've never seen her as more than a friend?

Right. And Eun Bin knows that, too.

I don't think that's how she sees it.

What?

From what I can tell,

I don't think you know your own heart yet.

This stop is Onjeong Intersection.

The next stop is Cheongri Villa.

(Onjeong Intersection)

What are you doing here? When did you get on?

In front of the office.

Don't tell me you followed me.

No.

My father got hurt, so I'm heading to my parents' house.

Then why are you taking the bus instead of driving?

I'm tired and was afraid I'd doze off at the wheel.

Plus, I might have a drink.

I see.

Well, get home safe.

Yes.

I thought you said you'd give me time to think.

So why are you doing this?

Go on and think.

It's not like I'm distracting you, is it?

Then, why do you keep following me?

I told you. I'm going to my parents' place.

It's not this way.

Fine. I followed you because I was worried.

There was that incident nearby,

and it's unsafe to walk alone at night.

Happy now?

That's why you took the bus?

Yes.

You would've just said no if I offered to drive you home.

Go on.

I'll leave after I see you get inside safely.

Where is it?

- Uncle. - Hey.

What are you doing out here?

I think I threw something out by mistake.

What was it?

- Shampoo. - Shampoo?

Yes, shampoo. It's my absolute favorite.

Found it.

I found it.

I found it!

Me. I like you.

I'm the one who worries about you.

I'm the one who misses you.

I like you. A lot.

Mom.

You're home.

Are you really mad at me?

Why would I be mad? I was just worried.

I'm sorry, Mom.

My gosh, what's this? Wow, it's so beautiful.

I heard somewhere...

that women love getting flowers.

It's true. I do love flowers.

This is the first time anyone's ever given me flowers.

Thank you, son.

It smells wonderful.

There.

All done. You should worry about yourself.

Why are you fussing over me?

Come on. Once "Human Theater" starts,

you'll be on camera a lot, so you need to look pretty.

- Not that you aren't beautiful. - Stop.

- Do you want to do it, too? - No.

- I have a hypothetical question. - Okay. What is it?

Let's say you love a guy so much you want to be with him forever,

but his mom is kind of the worst. What do you do?

I thought you said Jun Hyeok doesn't have any family.

No, it's not about me. I'm asking for a friend.

She asked me for advice, and I didn't know what to say.

What exactly is so bad about his mother?

Apparently, she'd do anything for her family.

And she's the type who doesn't care who gets hurt in the process.

That sounds a lot like someone we know.

It's not anyone you two would know.

Just give me some advice.

Such devotion often comes from deep anxiety and a need for control.

Someone like that will likely demand the same from her daughter-in-law.

I'd tell her absolutely not.

- What about you, Grandma? - I'm against it, too.

But the guy is absolutely perfect.

If their love is strong enough, can't they overcome it?

Honey, marriage isn't...

just about the two of them being happy together.

But what if they live on their own? They don't have to see her, right?

Even if you don't live together,

there are always so many family functions and obligations.

You have no idea how many patients at my clinic...

suffer from stress and depression because of their mothers-in-law.

- What? - You're injured, so don't drink.

What? Why not?

What are you here to grill me about now?

Why did you take that knife for Dr. Gong?

You've always been a coward.

No, don't...

It was just... In that moment,

I just reacted without thinking.

What?

Are you suggesting I did it on purpose?

You really...

You really see me as a total jerk, don't you?

You haven't told Dr. Gong yet, have you?

I'm going to, so stop nagging me about it.

Don't tell him.

What?

That's what Ju Ah wants.

Really?

Yes.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

You don't have me to thank for it.

It was Ju Ah's decision.

My gosh. Did Hyun Bin really tell you not to say anything?

Yes. It was Jeong Han's daughter.

Ju Ah said she didn't want us to tell him.

Oh, my. Honey, that's such a relief.

I know.

I feel guilty saying it, but I'm so happy.

Does that make me a hypocrite?

Am I a terrible person?

Anyone would feel that way. Don't be so hard on yourself.

You think so?

(Taehan)

Can I stay in the Design Office until I've figured things out?

I thought you were staying in the Design Office...

until you figured things out.

I've figured it out.

Do you want to get lunch with me today?

I made a reservation at an Argentinian restaurant.

Here you go.

Dong Ik, you should eat plenty of meat. Here.

Hey, you didn't have to treat me to a meal.

You've always loved hot pot. I heard this place was good.

I'm not complaining.

By the way, wasn't there something you wanted to tell me?

- What? - The day you got hurt,

things were so hectic that I completely forgot about it.

That. I was just...

I was just feeling restless with the show about to air...

and wanted to grab a drink with you, that's all.

Gosh, you got me all worked up over nothing.

- It's the "Human Theater" writer. - Oh, you should take it. Quick.

Yes, hello. Yes.

That's right. It slipped my mind. Yes, I'll send it over right away.

Shoot, the video of our duet...

I kept forgetting to ask Eun Bin to send it to me.

Really? Hey, send that to me, too.

Sure, I'll send it to the writer, and then forward it to you.

Sounds good.

- By the way, Dong Ik. - Yes?

I managed to arrange a get-together with Councilor Hwang this weekend.

- Really? - Yes.

Hey, could you book a nice restaurant for us?

You know I have no clue about high-end places.

Sure, no problem. I'll find a place.

- Thanks, man. - What for? I should thank you.

Hey, Dong Ik. Speaking of which...

You did save my life once, you know.

I'm going to grant you one wish.

- A wish? - Yes. Be careful what you wish for.

Because no matter what it is, I'll make it happen.

Okay.

Man, I've been talking too much. Let's eat.

- Okay. Let's eat. - Eat up. You need your strength.

Here.

- This is an empanada. - I know.

It's a classic Argentinian snack.

I studied all about it because I was planning to cook for you.

Next time...

I'll make them for you.

Does this mean you forgive me?

Yes.

(Sunny Korean Medicine Clinic, Onjeong Market)

Okay, this will help reduce oiliness on your scalp.

It's a detoxifying herbal treatment. About your hair's growth cycle...

One moment.

It's Eun Bin's video. I'm so sorry. This is urgent.

Let me just forward this, and I'll be right with you.

Darn it. I can't see this thing.

Looks like you're starting to need reading glasses, too.

That ship sailed a long time ago.

(Sunny Korean Medicine Clinic)

Where is that thing? Seriously...

Goodness!

I left it here and looked all over. Gosh, I swear.

What?

What's this? Dong Ik sent me a video?

And now, the greatest duet in all of Onjeong Market.

Shall we have a listen?

We live on through love

(I'll see you later, Jeong Han.)

What the...

(Korean Medicine Doctor Yang Dong Ik)

What on earth did I just send?

What is this? That little punk! Did he send this by mistake?

This is...

Wait a minute. Wait, isn't this the same video...

that was on YouTube?

Jeong Han.

Did you see the video?

- You set all this up, didn't you? - What?

Posting that video of your wife falling...

and getting my Ju Ah disciplined...

That was you?

Jeong Han.

(Recipe For Love)

- Do you have a girlfriend? - She has a child.

He's like a real brother to me now.

- Hello. - We're practically family.

That scent... I've smelled it somewhere before.

You're so pretty when you smile. Like a fresh head of lettuce.

Lettuce?

I never give up on what I like, no matter what anyone says.

Ju Ah was the one who said to drop it.

Now that Dad knows, the whole family will find out.

Please, keep the rest of the family from finding out.
