Attention.

Salute!

As you can see, I'm a little drunk.

I should never drive after drinking. Am I right?

What are you doing right now, Mr. Jin?

Are you actually dating Cha Tae Jin?

Why is that any of your business?

It is my business, of course.

Unrequited love is still love.

Gosh, you're so mean.

Please leave.

If you're actually seeing that guy, Cha Tae Jin,

I'll get drunk and come here every single day.

I'm going to tell everyone...

that the two of you are dating when you're supposed to be working.

- You don't think I can do it? - I do. It looks like you'll do it.

I know, right? I can do worse things.

I should sober up...

so that I can stop distracting you from your duty.

I should sleep here tonight.

I was actually just craving coffee.

Really? Here.

Thank you.

It's so good. You are great at making coffee too.

I bet you think he's good at everything.

Mr. Cha.

These help a lot when you need to perk up.

I don't like sweets.

Give them to Officer Choi.

And you'll ruin your vest if you keep them in the pocket in summer.

You should've just taken care of your partner instead.

Why did you have to do that and get scolded? My heart aches for you.

Do you think he was scolding me?

Darn it. Yes, seriously.

What are you doing here now?

What do you think I'm doing?

- Mr. Jin. - I should come here when I'm drunk.

That sobered me right up.

Then please leave now.

I'll see you again soon, Officer Moo.

Do you want to make a bet?

I told you to leave.

Do you want to do it in her place?

Let's bet if she will be with me within three months.

I said you should leave.

I guess you're not confident.

I'm confident.

Don't work too hard.

Why do you walk on eggshells around him?

You've dealt with enough drunk men here.

Have you been waiting because of me?

No, I just finished cleaning.

I was about to leave now, so please don't worry.

I'll get going. You two should talk.

Have a seat.

Aren't you hungry?

Don't worry about money.

I haven't touched my severance pay,

and I can definitely afford to take care of it for you.

No.

Choon Rae.

If you're a gentleman,

you should've pretended you didn't see anything in that situation.

I have never been a gentleman.

How do you think I feel...

after you saw me like that?

Have you thought about how I'd feel?

Why would you make me feel so miserable? Why?

I'm sorry.

Because I'm stupid, I made such a sweet person like you...

go through hard times.

Mom...

Tae Jin! I'm glad you're here.

I have shocking news.

What is it?

Father came to our restaurant with Ms. Oh.

Did he?

You don't seem surprised as if you knew he would.

What did he know?

Why are you stopping him from coming in?

I didn't. We were just having a conversation.

Right, Tae Jin?

Why did you come out here?

Dad hasn't come home yet.

He'll be home soon. Don't worry, and go back in.

He's right, Hee Jin.

Good night, Baek Ho.

I'll come with you.

What's with them?

They look like they got caught doing something wrong.

Why didn't you come today? You said you would come.

I didn't feel well.

That must be Do Hyun.

Gosh. She has such good hearing.

You're late.

- What's wrong with you? - What are you talking about?

Why did you go back when you come to the office?

- Sorry? - I heard you came to the office.

Dad took it out on me accusing me of making you upset.

She's just so annoying.

Gosh. I feel awfully angry.

I went there to get to him, but I feel like Cha Tae Jin got me.

Should I turn off the light?

Who is he?

Is he really your boyfriend?

I asked who he is.

He used to be a police officer, but he's retired.

Now he's working as a security guard at a large building.

How did you meet him?

I happened to meet him while working.

When I was living in Incheon,

I met him for the first time.

Do you not like him?

What is there for me to like or not about him?

He's a nice person.

He helped me in many ways.

Mom, is this because of your debt?

Is it because he said he'll repay your debt?

How can you think of me like that?

Turn off the light.

Hi.

- You're home. - Yes.

How did you know where she was?

It was a coincidence.

I can explain to you.

You don't have to explain anything.

Please do anything that you want.

As you please.

- I'm going to bring her home. - Okay.

I can assure you that she's not a bad person.

She's not even capable of doing anything wrong.

Just like me, she hasn't been lucky in her life.

I understand. I'm not worried.

You must be tired. Go to sleep.

- Good night. - Good night.

I think it's good.

- Then, I'll proceed as it is. - Okay.

I met the commissioner general at the seminar yesterday.

He talked about you.

- About me? - He's Corporal Jang's uncle.

Plus, he was your teacher...

- at the police academy. - That's right.

He seems like he thinks of you as his future nephew-in-law.

He's a very outgoing person. He used to say that to his students.

Why would he put up his guard?

Does he not like Corporal Jang at all?

Or is he in love with someone else?

It's hot, isn't it?

Try this. It'll cool you down.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

What's all this?

Men should do works like this.

Women have weaker arms than men.

I should say a word to Tae Jin.

Gender doesn't mean anything for police officers. We're all equal.

I guess you're right. Raising a baby helps you strengthen your arms.

You become stronger as you have to hold your baby.

Is that true?

Right? Moms can understand that.

Sorry? Yes, that's right.

Are there any signs that Tae Jin is interested in anyone,

by any chance?

You never know.

I practice kendo with him sometimes, but I haven't felt anything special.

Really?

You work out with Tae Jin?

That's so good to hear.

I'm not saying this because he's my brother.

He would be a perfect husband.

He's handsome, well-mannered,

smart, and healthy.

He also has awesome abs.

His back muscles are so bulky...

I'm sorry.

Anyway, whoever marries him is very lucky.

Mr. Cha is the eldest son of the eldest son's family.

Won't he live with his parents after getting married?

I heard he's living with everyone including his grandmother.

I'll never let that happen. I'll make it clear to my family.

Once he gets married, he'll move out.

Women these days don't live with their parents-in-law.

How many memorial service ceremonies do you hold in a year?

I hear holding memorial service ceremonies is stressful...

even when you don't live with your parents-in-law.

We hold about...13 ceremonies in a year.

13... 13 times a year?

Don't you worry. I'll take care of everything.

Oh, okay.

Please excuse me. I need to go to the restroom.

How do you think of Eun Ju?

Pardon? What about her?

You're Tae Jin's partner. You must work with him all day.

Please help him hook up with her whenever you get a chance.

Pardon? Oh, okay.

I think Eun Ju would be perfect for Tae Jin.

She's pretty and sweet, and she's from a good family.

Women are good at judging other women's character.

Right.

My grandma has very high expectations for Tae Jin.

Tae Jin's life has been flawless.

Marriage is the most important event in life.

She's so determined to make sure Tae Jin will marry the right person.

I see.

Oh, right! What's wrong with me?

I forgot to pack fried chicken while talking to you.

Please give me a minute.

It's delicious.

Don't you think their chicken is awesome?

I think they'll become very successful.

I heard this from Mr. Lee before...

that Corporal Jang's parents are considering...

Mr. Cha as their future son-in-law.

What?

Gosh. You startled me.

I almost got choked by the chicken.

Why? What's the reason?

Officer Choi, give up on her.

Since Corporal Jang started working here,

she hasn't been interested in anyone else but Mr. Cha.

It's been a long time.

She pretends she doesn't like him, but I can tell.

Love doesn't always grow bigger as time passes.

Sometimes it's the other way round.

Her uncle is the commissioner general in another area,

and he was Mr. Cha's teacher at the police academy.

If they wanted, things between them could happen very quickly.

No way. Not a chance.

I can't let that happen.

What's with him?

Gosh, that fool.

He's getting his hopes up when she's not even thinking about it.

He shouldn't stare at a tree he won't be able to climb.

Aren't I right, Officer Moo?

Gosh, why don't they pick up their phones?

Are they doing this to get me angry or what?

Just leave them alone. It's not even that late yet.

They probably don't want to pick up. I feel like that at times too.

You always have to have things your way, and that is a problem.

They're adults now,

and I'm also starting to feel suffocated.

Are you saying I suffocate you?

Sometimes.

Gosh, I can't even get angry anymore.

Come to my office before dinner time tomorrow.

Let's have dinner together. There's something I want to tell you too.

What is it?

Just say it now.

You'll find out.

Gosh, why aren't these brats picking up their phones?

Where are they, and what are they up to now?

You should go home.

Chairman Jin keeps calling you.

I feel too lazy.

Did something happen yesterday?

I'm not sure what happened, but you should go home today.

Don't you know that he's been in a bad mood lately?

It's driving me crazy.

I'm going to come and see you.

I'll see you at your office.

I'm heading out now.

Su Hyuk.

Wasn't that Bo Ra?

What is this?

My mom told me to give it back to your mom.

Su Hyuk.

Let's stop wasting our time and be good to our moms.

I'll do my best for this project.

I can be a slacker, but I never let personal things affect work.

I'm home.

What's up?

Do Hyun.

Did something happen between you and Dami Ad?

Hey, I don't like to see you too interested in Dami Ad.

You didn't treat him disrespectfully, did you?

- Did I? - Do Hyun.

Why do you ask? Did he say something to you?

So something must've happened.

I guess he got his pride hurt a little.

What does that mean?

I used him as my driver when I was drunk a few days ago.

I told you that he's my friend!

Is that why you waited until this late to talk to me?

Know when to draw the line.

If you don't stop, I'll have to do something about it.

Hey. Goodness.

Gosh, I'm so frustrated.

Why is everyone frustrating me?

Su Hyuk.

What brings you here?

I'm quite tired. I'd like to go home.

Su Hyuk.

I don't think I can be friends with you.

I have feelings for you too.

Our timing is off.

Su Hyuk.

I don't even want to be friends with you anymore.

Bo Ra.

Let's end this here.

Hey, hey.

What's the matter with you?

I saw everything. You were with a girl earlier.

Isn't she the one from that time?

The molestation case at the parking lot.

How did you know?

Hey, you looked so furious at that time.

You looked as if you'd kill that guy if I didn't stop you.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

- I ended it. - What? Why?

You seemed to like her a lot.

Is that enough to get into a relationship?

You should also consider your circumstances.

I shouldn't be dating anyone at the moment...

because I can't even take care of myself.

That's not what you told me.

That's enough. Leave me alone now. I need to get changed.

You told me to muster up the courage to love.

Why do you keep trying to run away from it?

Hey, she came all the way here at this late hour to see you.

It means she really likes you.

- You have no reason to run away. - Our situations are different.

Stop it and just leave me alone.

I don't know what the problem is, but I'll take care of Mom,

so you don't need to worry about her.

Why would you take care of Mom?

I'm the man of the family, not you!

Don't get the wrong idea.

My gosh. Son, you're home.

I came in quietly because I didn't want to wake you.

I'll go wash up.

All right.

- Did you guys get home together? - Yes.

Both of you worked until so late. You guys must be tired.

Hang on. Su Hyuk should...

eat something before he goes to bed.

Mom, I got home just now too.

Oh, did you? You'll gain weight if you eat at this hour.

Don't be so upset.

I'll pay it all off.

- I'm sorry. - Why are you sorry?

It's all dad's fault, but he's dead now.

Had he not taken out private loans for his business,

we wouldn't have turned out like this.

I'm going to step out for a few minutes to get some fresh air.

How is he going to pay this all off?

It's me. Have you had dinner yet?

Of course. It's late now.

Don't worry about a thing.

Just think that you're visiting your son and get some rest.

Okay.

The fact that I met you again is enough to make me happy.

Right.

Yes, that's why...

I'm telling you not to think about anything else. Don't worry.

Relax and get some rest.

Mom, can't you knock?

Nothing happened at school, right?

What? Why do you ask?

Well, I'm just...

Did that woman come by again?

No, I haven't seen her since then.

Go back to your studies then.

You always nag me when I'm about to focus and study hard.

My nagging makes you not want to study, right?

How did you know?

I wasn't born as a mom.

Now, study. You better study very hard.

What now? What else do you need to talk to me about?

- Did you enjoy the fried chicken? - Yes.

Did Ms. Jang say anything to you?

What was she supposed to tell me?

Well, I told her some things about our family today.

I wish I hadn't told her about memorial service.

Memorial service?

She asked me about memorial service of our family, so I just told her.

I should've lied about it.

I'm too honest sometimes.

You talked about it when Officer Moo was there too?

Don't get me started.

Officer Moo is so insensitive.

Hee Jin!

She was supposed to give us some privacy,

but she was sitting there quietly,

reacting to what I said.

Be honest with me.

It's not that you don't like Eun Ju, right?

Leave me alone. I need to rest.

- Come on. Get out now. - Hey.

- Get out now. I'm so tired. - She looked even prettier today.

She has such a small face and...

(Call me if you're awake.)

Call me if you're awake.

See you later.

Ms. Heo.

You're not wearing an earring on one ear. Is it intentional?

I didn't know that.

I'm so forgetful these days.

I'll get going.

Ms. Heo.

You should put on an earring on the other ear.

Please put this in my room.

Goodness. What's the matter with her?

Gosh. I can't focus on my work.

Oh, it's the police officer I met.

Hello.

Hi, Woo Ri. Have you been well?

Yes, I have.

Did you bring your radio today?

I didn't bring it today.

What about the police car?

I didn't bring it either.

I'll give you a ride next time.

When will that be?

Don't, Woo Ri.

Your mom is very scary.

How about I teach you how to ride a bicycle?

- Really? - Of course.

I promise you.

Oh, yes! You're the best.

Shall we all have dinner together?

No. Please wait here. I'll take her home and come back.

Why not, Mom? I'm free now.

No, Woo Ri. He's busy.

Please wait for me at the cafe for a while.

Bye, Woo Ri.

Goodbye.

Sang Chul.

Where are you heading?

I have a parcel for Chairman Jin.

I see. See you later.

See you.

How...

How could he be here? How?

Who is this woman?

Here's a parcel for you, Chairman Jin.

(Lovers in Bloom)

Are you going out of control or what?

Did you have someone follow me?

Cha Sang Chul is my ex-husband.

I'm the person who got swindled by Oh Gyung Ah.

- I'll go there. - Ms. Moo.

Do you really want me to be sick of you?

I bother you and drive you crazy, right?

I never change my mind once I make my decision.

All right. Let's see about that.

What are you suggesting?

Are you going to marry me or something?

Do you think I'm joking around?
