(Lovers in Bloom)

Are you going out of control or what?

Why are you ignoring me?

Let's end things between us.

What? What did you say?

I want a divorce.

A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

Since when was it?

Since when did you sneak around behind my back?

I ran into my daughter at the department store recently.

You ran into her?

A pickpocket was trying to steal from me,

but the kid that helped me...

was my grandson.

That's how I ran into her.

Like you said, it's complicated with your children.

After seeing her once,

I couldn't stay away.

That's why I went to see her.

How did you find out where she lives?

By the kid's school uniform.

My daughter asked...

what right I have...

to show up after abandoning them.

She said I'd pay for my sins.

That's it.

What did I do wrong?

What did I do wrong for you to have someone tail me?

Why did you lie?

If you hadn't lied, this wouldn't have happened.

What did I lie about?

You lied that you went to the hospital with Bo Ra.

Does that justify having someone follow me around?

Just because I did something suspicious one time?

I lived with you for 17 years just for this?

You had someone follow me around,

and I've been called a side woman.

Even so, because you saved my life,

I tried my best until now.

I must've been out of my mind.

I did all that just to be treated like this.

Even if that's true, how could you ask for a divorce?

That's nonsense!

Mom.

What a perfect timing.

Mom.

What's going on?

How would I know?

Love is a power game as well.

The one who loves the other more always loses.

Come home early.

You have no idea how dangerous the world can be.

Don't worry about me. You just take care yourself.

You should go home.

I'll leave after washing this.

I told you to wait for me so we can do this together.

It's not a lot of work.

Oh, I... I understand.

- Could you do the rest, then? - Sure.

I'll go get changed.

- Mr. Cha. - Yes?

I have something to tell you.

- Get in the car. - Mr. Cha.

I said, get in. I want to go somewhere with you.

I just have something to show you.

I didn't know that the rose of Sharon blooms in the morning.

They just started blooming.

Did you bring me here to show these flowers?

I can't make a bouquet with them.

They look better when they're rooted to the ground.

Just like you.

I didn't feel anything while I had a rose of Sharon on my uniform,

but thanks to someone, I ended up coming here to see flowers.

Well... I didn't ask you to do so.

You seem to get angry whenever you see me lately.

- What did I do? - See? You're getting angry.

Have you ever played "The Rose of Sharon Has Bloomed"?

Kids teased me because my name means rose of Sharon.

They made me it so many times too.

Let's play the game.

I'll be it.

You just come to me step by step.

As fast as your heart allows.

I'll be standing here.

My back hurts.

This is how it feels to sit in a massage chair.

What a great world we live in.

Gosh. Oh, no.

I thought you had left.

I guess you rest here often.

No, I don't. It's not like that.

I just sat in the chair because my back hurt.

You just sat in the chair?

I saw you sitting around before.

It's not like that.

I don't even use public restrooms.

You know what I mean, right?

Don't touch my things when you clean my room.

Okay?

Where's the other one?

Bo Ra bought this for my birthday.

Have a nice day.

What's going on with you lately?

- You've been acting weirdly. - What do you mean?

You were always calm like a placid lake.

I wonder what stirred you up.

There must be something going on.

Isn't it that you hope there's something going on?

That's ridiculous.

I'm just worried because you're acting so differently.

Thank you for worrying about me.

You don't have to thank me.

Please take good care of my dad.

I'm worried that he looks so troubled.

I'm impressed that you worry about him.

Right? I even surprised myself too,

but I have no choice.

I should become mature at least for my dad.

See you later.

Did you sleep well?

It was so hot last night.

It'll become cool when autumn comes.

- Do you have something to say? - Yes, I do.

I'm thinking of bringing her home this weekend.

Okay.

Tell your children too.

Yes, Mom.

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

You worked all night in the hot weather. Aren't you tired?

I'm fine.

- I leave you to rest. - Okay.

Get some rest, Grandma.

- Tae Jin, you're back. - Hi, Baek Ho.

- Did you eat breakfast? - Yes, I did.

You eat before coming home lately. Why don't you eat at home?

Homemade meals are more nutritious.

Everyone, come have a seat.

Okay.

As you already know, I'll tell you directly.

I'd like to bring her home this weekend.

That soon?

It's not that soon.

Aren't you rushing it?

I'm glad you made the decision. You should do that.

You should introduce her to our family formally so you can...

Do as you please, Dad.

Thank you for understanding, everyone.

Please come in. This way.

- Come on in. Put it on the table. - Right here?

- Yes. Put it on here. - Okay.

Good. All right.

- Please enjoy. - Thank you.

What are you doing?

It's jjajangmyeon. It's your favorite.

Don't stay mad so long.

Relieve your stress.

It's not a big problem for a man.

You brat. You don't even know what my problem is.

Every couple talk about a divorce once in a while.

Ms. Heo must've wanted to give it a try.

Why do I even bother talking to you?

Ms. Heo can never leave you.

She won't because she doesn't want to lose money.

Why would she have put up with me if she was going to leave?

She would've left a long time ago.

She has a bigger plan than you think.

She's no ordinary woman.

Why you...

I shouldn't have brought this up with you.

Don't worry and have your jjajangmyeon. It's getting soggy.

I'm not hungry.

Come on.

You should eat some even if you aren't hungry.

You need your strength to fight.

You always told me wealth is competence.

You should get the upper hand on her,

so she never says that again.

Eat slowly.

You don't want to get indigestion.

I think we should do this first.

Hello.

Ju Young, it's Cha Sang Chul.

I was wondering if we could meet.

I'm sorry, but I'm busy.

Who was that?

That man.

- I'll see you later. - Bye.

- Hi. - Hi.

You did a good job last time.

Don't mention it.

I'm sure you noticed that day,

but I haven't decided to give Dami Ad the job yet.

I thought the decision was made.

I always go back and forth.

Isn't this up to me?

I'm warning you,

I won't pay you a cent if you don't get the job done right.

I take after my dad and am stingy when it comes to money.

The world isn't an easy place.

I'm sure you noticed...

Yes, I know.

Fine, that's good. You can leave.

I'll look through this and get back to you.

Please take a thorough look at it.

I'm sure it's pretty good.

I'll be the judge of that.

- We meet again. - Yes.

I should get going.

I might call you again if I need a driver,

so make sure you answer my calls.

The vibe is tense.

I guess it should be, since you are rivals.

You'll win all the battles if you know the enemy and yourself.

I should find out about my rival too.

What are you talking about?

Ask Investigator Hwang about Cha Tae Jin.

There seems to be something going on between them.

Is that why you wanted to see me?

I'll give the job to your friend, so give him a call.

All right.

I thought you'd be very happy. What's with the look?

- Is something up? - No.

I have to leave for a trial.

How boring. You always have a trial.

I'll have to go shopping.

I'll buy something nice.

I'll have to wash this. It's so dirty.

Wait, what's this?

- Why was that here? - I should be asking you.

Why did it fall from your apron?

I have no idea.

You aren't suspicious of me, are you?

You should've taken both if you were going to take it.

What use would I have for just one?

If one disappears,

did you think I would've considered it...

misplaced instead of gone?

You asked me to put this back for you...

last time you were leaving the house.

You must not remember because you were in a hurry.

Are you saying I'm falsely accusing you right now?

Ms. Heo.

Mom, what is it?

You don't have to say anything else.

Quit immediately.

I don't believe this.

My daughter is a police officer.

How could you treat me like this for working at your house?

My goodness.

I quit.

Ms. Lee.

Mom, why are you doing this?

Mom, when are we going to ride bikes...

- with the police officer? - What?

He promised to teach me how to ride a bike.

Woo Ri, I'll teach you.

I'm very good at riding bikes.

All the other kids learn from their dads.

Should we ask your uncle to teach you?

He's busy.

The police officer is busy too.

Call him for me and I'll ask.

I'll ask if he's busy or not.

Bong Woo Ri.

Why are you home so early?

What's wrong with her?

I think Grandma's mad.

I'm so mad.

Who knew I'd be accused of something so outrageous?

I didn't take her for someone like that.

How dare she accuse me!

I should've told her I'd sue her for slander.

I'm an idiot for not being able to say anything.

Mom, what's wrong?

Did something happen?

It's nothing.

I can see on your face that it's something big.

What is it?

Did something happen at the house you work at?

Did the owner yell at you?

It's nothing. I just came home early because of a headache.

Are you sure?

I'm telling you.

So, stop making noise and leave me alone. I need to rest.

All right.

I'll wake you up when dinner is ready. Get some sleep.

(My House My Room)

It'll only take a minute. I'll get straight to work after this.

I was going to pretend not to know, but I don't think I can.

About what?

That man really seems to like your mother.

You're funny. What do you know?

My mom told me he paid her and Ms. Na back for your mother.

- What? - It's not just about the money.

Don't you sometimes think...

that money goes where the heart is and vice versa.

I think this is just that case.

I don't believe it.

I'll go and buy some ramyeon.

It's Ju Young. Do you have time to meet?

Let's talk.

I need to hear a reason.

Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?

- My feelings have changed. - Moo Su Hyuk.

I think I was confused when you said you were meeting the lawyer.

It could be a sense of inferiority.

I should've been friends with you if I knew this would happen.

I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable.

Su Hyuk, are you going to keep saying that?

You must've wavered because I told you not to go,

but don't feel any burden.

Do you think I'm acting like this because I feel burdened?

You know that isn't true.

Why are you suddenly acting like a different person?

I'm sorry that my feelings changed so quickly.

All right.

I'm sorry for wasting your time when you're busy.

Thank you for calling me.

This is awkward.

I promise you that I will repay you the money.

Don't worry about it.

I did it because I wanted to.

No. I'll make sure to repay you.

Okay, then.

If it'd make you feel comfortable, do as you said.

When you repay me the money,

I'll go on a trip with your mom.

I understand how confused you must be,

but I hope you can be happy for me and your mom.

It's not that easy for me.

I know.

Watching your mom with someone else other than your dad...

must make you feel uncomfortable.

I'm not good with words.

I don't know what I should say in a situation like this.

However, all I want is to make your mom happy.

Well, aside from everything else,

if you cause my mom distress,

I won't let it slide. Please don't forget that.

I'll bear that in mind.

You met Ju Young?

What did he say?

You have nothing to worry about.

It went well.

You did a great job in raising your son.

Oh, my. I'll talk to you later.

Have you eaten anything? Shall I cook instant noodles for you?

Mom, please sit down.

I just met the gentleman.

If you decided to marry him because of the financial problems...

and because you have nowhere to go...

That's not why I made the decision.

Then, do you really like him?

He's very nice to me, and I feel comfortable around him.

Ju Young.

He doesn't seem like a bad person.

But don't ask me to move in with you.

I'm old enough to live alone and... I just don't want to.

I'm hungry.

All right.

I'll cook instant noodles.

Ta-da.

I told you that I was going to drink with my brother alone.

What's wrong with you?

I can't even drink when I want to.

I can't seem to live up to my name.

- I'll pour you a glass. - Thanks.

- Don't cause any trouble. - I won't.

I'm just trying to keep up with your pace.

I'll drink slowly.

I don't know why I'm feeling like this.

I'm happy for Dad.

Then, why am I feeling like this?

Stop saying that.

I'm just saying that's how I feel. Am I not allowed to say that?

I'm just so happy for him I want to give him a big hand.

I'm sorry for bringing this up, for he got divorced a long time ago.

This is why a son-in-law can never be like a son.

What did you say?

It's already been decided.

If Dad knew how we feel, he would feel very uncomfortable.

You saw him walking on eggshells around us.

Just let it go.

You're right. Everyone has their own path in life.

You should get married soon.

Get married, move out, and enjoy your life.

- What about us? - We should move out soon too.

Dad has someone to take care of him,

and Grandma will enjoy having a new daughter-in-law serving her.

Gosh. Seriously.

She's unbelievable.

Ms. Heo.

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

I didn't know that. I'm forgetful these days.

See you later.

Ms. Heo.

You should put on the earring.

Please put this in my room.

My gosh.

Oh, no. What should I do?

Gosh. They came up with an unusual kind of fraud.

Part-time employees don't even make much money.

It's like taking candy from a child.

They ordered food, and said they would pay with a check.

They asked the staff for the change.

They just ran away with the change.

They're so smart in a bad way.

We're back.

- We're back. - Thank you for your hard work.

This vest kills me when the weather is hot.

Exactly.

Since it's hot, how about we eat ice cream?

I'd love to.

How about shaved ice instead of ice cream?

I'd like that.

We bought you snacks many times before.

So 2 out of 4 of you buy this time.

When did you ever buy any snacks?

Please don't be like that. We're on the same team.

Shall we play ladder game?

It takes too long. Let's play rock-paper-scissors.

Three rounds?

Let's just play one round.

Corporal Jang, you can do it.

Good luck.

Mr. Cha, you're putting too much pressure on her.

I know. He should cheer for her like I do.

Stop it. What's wrong with you?

Let's play rock-paper-scissors.

- Whoever wins, I get to eat. - All right.

- Okay. - Look at Corporal Jang's fingers.

- Ready. Rock-paper-scissors! - Rock-paper-scissors!

- Oh, yes! - Nice.

Mr. Cha will buy shaved ice.

- He'll buy shaved ice. - You did well.

Corporal Jang looks happy.

What... What is it?

I would've won.

I'm really good at rock-paper-scissors.

Goodness. He says he's good at doing everything.

What did you say?

You just lost.

That's true.

Get some rest. I'll go buy it.

No. I'll go.

I'm the one who lost the game.

Do I look okay?

I've never worn any expensive outfit like this before.

- I told you, you look great. - Do I?

Let's go in.

Mom, we're here.

How have you been?

(Lovers in Bloom)

Is there anything I can help you with?

My life is already hard.

Now I have another person to serve.

I made a mistake.

I don't want to speak with you.

You're not considering leaving him, right?

Get in. I'll drive you there.

No, thank you. I can take a bus.

I may look crazy to you,

but I've never been serious about anyone else before.
