(Lovers in Bloom)

Have a seat since you're here anyway.

That's not the face I was expecting to see.

I didn't do anything wrong.

You're the one who bought the bicycle, right?

Yes.

It's getting late, so let's keep this short.

How much was it?

- What do you mean? - The bike.

- Do you want to pay me back? - Of course.

That won't be enough to really repay me for everything I've done.

- Sorry? - Didn't the kid tell you...

about a handsome man saving her life?

Well, you're a police officer. Shouldn't you at least...

look into who took her to the hospital...

when something like that happens?

Goodness. I thought you'd call me to thank me.

I waited all night long.

I saw you at the hospital,

but I left without saying a word...

even though I love talking about good deeds I've done as you know.

Why didn't you tell me?

I was worried that you'd think I was stalking you...

if I told you that I was wandering around in your neighborhood.

How's the kid?

She's fine.

As soon as she fainted,

I got her in my car and drove as fast as I could.

You're really grateful right now, aren't you?

Right? Right?

Aren't you grateful?

I am.

Thank you so much for saving Woo Ri's life.

I don't want you to feel indebted or anything like that though.

You saved my life too.

Let's call it even.

The bike is my gift for you to celebrate that we're even now.

She's such a cute kid.

She's totally the little version of you.

I'm always very gentle toward you because you saved my life.

You should also try not to be so harsh toward me from now on.

(Episode 49)

Meet me at the cafe near your house.

- Where are you going? - What?

I'm stepping out for a few minutes, Mom.

What's the matter with her?

Didn't she just get back?

- We had a lot of customers today. - It was okay.

I miss Ms. Oh so much on days like this.

From cooking to waiting tables and delivery,

she was a perfect all-round employee.

I shouldn't have said anything.

- I still feel terrible. - Why?

When I went home earlier today,

Ms. Oh had turned the kitchen upside down.

Why is she so insensitive?

Did she think I would thank her?

You just don't like anything about her.

Try to have some compassion for her.

She made a difficult decision because of Father.

Even if you had a financial problem, would you leave your son alone,

- and move in with the whole family? - Why would I do that?

See? You should be thanking Ms. Oh.

You should bow deeply to her.

What if Ms. Oh doesn't marry him?

Even if we become better off,

we won't be able to move out leaving Grandmother and Father alone.

You said you'll let Tae Jin move out once he gets married.

I know that. I just got annoyed.

I should've held back.

Gosh.

Let's go.

- Did you just get home, Tae Jin? - You're home.

- Yes. - You're late.

What's that in your hands?

Are you going to ride a bike?

- Why would he ignore me? - He must be tired.

I'm tired too.

There's no need to feel uncomfortable about it.

She'll be our family soon anyway.

Still, we can't force her as she feels uncomfortable.

I think it's because she feels embarrassed to see the kids.

Please understand her.

I understand her.

We're home.

Did you enjoy your dinner?

Of course, we had dinner. It's late.

What happened between you and Gyung Ah before?

- What are you talking about? - I heard you say something...

to her in the kitchen.

It was nothing.

Why are you accusing me of that?

Why? Did Ms. Oh complain to you?

If nothing happened, it's okay.

You must be tired. Why aren't you resting?

I'll take some watermelon to Grandma.

Do you have something to say to me?

As you must have noticed while living with her,

she's not a bad person.

So please understand her,

and be nice to her.

Because she worked at your restaurant and as a caregiver,

I think she has low self-esteem.

Did Ms. Oh really say something to you?

No, it's not because she said something to me.

I'm just worried about her.

To be honest, it didn't make me feel good before.

That woman was acting as if she was the lady of this house...

That woman? How dare you call your elder like that?

You brat.

- Dad. - She'll be your mother,

and she's much older than you.

Do you still think of her as your employee...

at your restaurant?

I'll sorry. I'll be careful.

Gosh. I'm still feeling so hot when I just took a shower.

Hang on a second. Tae Jin.

Why don't we drink some beer since it's hot?

- Shall we? - Good night.

We're going to drink some beer. Can you cook for us...

Hee Jin!

Why are you drinking without any food?

Oh, right. This is good.

We were thinking of drinking beer.

Aren't you going to work tomorrow morning?

A few glasses of soju would be fine.

I'll drink just three glasses.

Let me pour you a glass.

I shouldn't have said that to her.

Please understand her.

She's been stressed out so much because of Hae Chan.

You know her.

She's obsessed with his education.

She couldn't finish her diploma.

That must be the reason.

She must resent me for many reasons.

Including what happened to her mom.

You should be nice to your sister.

Don't be too blunt.

Don't forget what she has done for you.

I know.

Father is right. I saw it with my own eyes.

If you treat her badly, I won't let it slide.

- Worry about yourself. - Pardon?

Don't regret later like I did.

How could you?

I let you marry her because you said you couldn't live without her.

Father, that's not fair.

Hee Jin is the one who said she couldn't live without me.

You always sulk over trivial things.

A man shouldn't do that.

Father, please. When did I sulk?

Living with my in-laws crushed my pride, and...

Pride, my foot.

You're a man. You should know how to swallow your pride...

when you're with your woman.

- You fool. - Fool?

Why would you call me that?

Gosh. They say that it's the mother who loves the son-in-law.

Ms. Oh.

Are you that happy when you just hear her name?

You have a huge smile on your face.

Hey, stop. Slow down. It's not like you.

Did something happen?

No. Nothing happened.

Is there any problem between you and your girlfriend?

Are you seeing someone?

No, I'm not.

Why would you deny it? It's obvious.

A female officer at his substation is interested in him.

Is that true?

What is she like?

Please excuse me.

Is something really going on?

Father, have you ever seen him drink on a weekday?

I'm 100 percent sure of it.

Mr. Cha, I missed your call because I stepped out without my phone.

Please call me.

What's the matter?

Are you...

seeing anyone, by any chance?

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are. I can tell by your behaviors.

Those expensive gifts and Woo Ri's bicycle.

Also, where did you go at such a late hour?

I said I'm not seeing anyone.

I met the person who helped Woo Ri to thank him.

Don't be silly.

Su Hyuk.

What should I do to let you know how I feel?

I don't want to let you go like this.

Would you feel nothing?

Even if you break up with me?

Thanks.

Because of you, I was happy too...

even though it was short.

Then...

I guess the next thing you'll say...

is goodbye.

Don't leave.

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

I know that I should've been honest with you,

but I couldn't bring myself to tell you.

My family is rich, but I'm not from a good family.

My dad is the kind of man you despise the most.

He's a loan shark.

I've been so lonely and distressed, Su Hyuk.

You're the only one I have now.

I...

have a lot of people I must protect.

I'm sorry.

Let's go. I'll take you home.

Look at you. Did you drink?

Stop worrying me, will you?

My life is stressful enough as it is.

I worried you?

- It's the other way around. - Bo Ra.

You probably think that Mom stressed me out.

Not at all.

You're the one who made me lonely and distressed.

You've always been this way.

When I was happy and excited about having a mom,

you said to me, "That woman does not like you."

"Everything she's saying is a lie."

You destroyed my happiness like that...

all the time.

Then...

you've even made the man I love turn against me now.

Mom, I guess you didn't get much sleep last night.

He didn't come home. How could I sleep?

I'm sure Su Hyuk was busy with work.

You know that he's a good man.

Between that and the rent,

If I wake in the middle of the night, I can't fall back asleep.

I know how stressful it must be for you,

but let's try to be positive about the situation.

Everything will be okay.

All right.

Woo Ri, do you love that bike that much?

Yes, I love it so much.

I've been dying to go for a bike ride,

and I couldn't even sleep a wink last night because of it.

My goodness.

The grown-ups were too busy worrying away to sleep,

and you were too excited to sleep.

I'm glad you're happy and excited though.

Oh, right. Did you find out who sent that bike?

What?

It was a friend of mine.

Which friend?

You don't have any friend who'd buy Woo Ri something like that.

What are you talking about? Seriously, Mom.

Woo Ri, let's go get you ready for kindergarten.

Okay.

I don't think it's a friend.

Mr. Cha.

Why didn't you call me last night?

I didn't check my phone until late.

I was running around the playground and the entire neighborhood.

Why did you meet Jin Do Hyun last night?

Actually...

He sent a bike for Woo Ri.

Be firm with him. I hate things like this.

Mr. Cha.

He should've listened to what I had to say before getting mad at me.

Why is Mr. Cha so angry?

He sure is angry. I don't know the reason either.

Was my hunch wrong?

Yes, there's no way she's the woman Mr. Cha likes.

I mean, she has a kid.

From shoes to clothes, this is crazy.

- Goodness. - Do you need me to find something?

What's wrong? Do you not like the outfit I picked out for you?

Gosh, of course not.

I mean, you picked it out for me.

Goodness, that was such a deep sigh.

I'm supposed to tell the tutor by today whether we'd...

try out the sessions for Hae Chan or not.

Gosh, why is it so hot? It almost killed me.

We can't really afford it anyway.

I should just say we can't do it.

(Contacts)

Hello?

Okay.

Ms. Cha.

Yes, hello. I have to step out to take care of something.

Goodness, there's never a dull moment for her.

Well, Father is home now.

- I'm here to help you guys out. - Pardon me?

I can't sit around and do nothing.

I know how busy your restaurant gets.

We should help each other.

Like Mother always says, everyone should do some work.

Gosh, please don't say that.

I can't make my future mother-in-law work.

Mother-in-law?

Yes. You'll be my mother-in-law when you marry Father.

That is true.

That means I'll become your son-in-law.

You're right.

Mother, I'll be good to you.

Please be fond of me.

Gosh, Mr. Kang. Please.

What can I do to help you?

- Nothing. Please have a seat here. - My gosh.

- It's okay. Please sit. - What are you talking about?

- No. - I'll go cut up some watermelon...

- for you. - Let me help you.

Why are you here again?

Sit.

Make it short if you have things to say.

I have to get back to work soon.

Hee Jin.

I'll be a good mom from now on.

How exactly will you do that?

I'll do all the things I haven't been able to do for you guys...

over the years,

no matter what.

What will you do if you get kicked out again?

I don't care.

I've already told him...

that I must see you guys often from now on.

Who says you can see us?

I told you that we don't need you anymore.

- Hee Jin. - We don't need you at all.

We've been fine until now without a mom,

and we'll continue to be fine.

So please leave and mind your own business.

Do you want to keep living like this?

You can't even afford to buy cheap clothes for yourself.

Do you actually think you have the right to say such things to me?

I know that it's all my fault.

Please give me a chance though.

Allow me to do things for you.

Only then, I'll be able to live.

I'm speechless.

I'll be good to you guys.

I will give you everything you guys want.

I won't let you keep living like this,

and Tae Jin...

Stocks?

Yes, sir. She got a good return on investment very quickly.

It looks like she had insider's information.

All right. Get back to work.

She sold the arcade, and invested in stocks.

I forgot how scary Seong Hee can be.

Now that I've gotten on her nerves,

she won't let it slide.

- Is something bothering you? - What are you talking about?

Your eyes look so tired as if you didn't sleep well.

- You should worry about yourself. - What does that mean?

There's something serious going on between Chairman Jin and Ms. Heo.

The worst thing that can happen is them breaking up.

The point is how they're going to break up.

If things go wrong,

and Ms. Heo files a claim for division of property,

you could lose a lot more than you think.

Ms. Heo is no ordinary woman.

She sold her arcade, and invested in stocks.

Did she hit a jackpot or something?

If I were you,

I wouldn't get on her nerves.

At least for now.

Oh my. What brings you here?

Baek Ho called me,

and asked me to come because he had to go to the market.

He went on a delivery...

Why are you working here? You must be tired.

Nonsense. We're family. We should help each other.

Sit down.

Choon Rae.

Why would you call me like that? That makes me nervous.

I understand how hard it must be for you,

but can't we live together?

I'll be nice to you.

I'm too ashamed to face you.

I'm still causing you distress and making you cry...

just as I did 40 years ago.

Why would you bring up the past?

I wish I could hold a wedding ceremony...

before bringing you home,

but it's not easy.

You're staying in someone else's office. It breaks my heart,

and I want to start living with you...

as soon as possible.

I want to eat with you, and shop for groceries with you.

I'll think about it.

Why did she buy me clothes?

This is a really expensive bag.

She really went all out.

Let's see.

My goodness. I can't believe this.

That's a lot of money.

Gosh. This can't be.

- Have you eaten anything? - Yes.

- Where is Dad? - He just came home.

Good night, my little sister.

I'm home.

I'm sorry. I crossed the line.

Why didn't you tell me you invested in stocks?

Listen.

Since you already bought a flight ticket,

how about we travel around together?

I'll take what you said into serious consideration.

No.

We better end this now.

Honey.

Do you know what I regret the most?

I regret...

that I didn't leave you when you first bought me...

a small building.

I can't believe you.

How could you say that?

If I did, I would've become...

as rich as you are now.

Gosh. That's ridiculous.

Do you think I couldn't have?

I'm still confident.

You're not planning to take away the small properties...

that you gave me, are you?

Honey, please.

Let's just end this now.

I won't bother you anymore asking for settlement money.

Here's my special coffee for you.

Thank you, Corporal Jang.

Hey, Mr. Cha.

- Thank you for this. - Thank you.

- Officer Choi, thank you. - Thank you.

The last person I'd like to thank...

is the cutie of Chamsu-ri Substation, Officer Moo.

- Here. - Me?

I heard you covered my work yesterday.

You're the best.

Please don't say that. Anyone would've done the same.

Have you eaten anything?

Well... I didn't eat anything.

Maybe because I got older, I have so much belly fat.

Mr. Park, why don't you have lunch with me today?

It's on me.

Okay. Deal. What should we eat?

There's a nice sushi restaurant.

- Mr. Park. - Yes, sir.

Did you send the document on the assault case?

Pardon?

- I entered it into the computer. - Was it you, Officer Moo?

Did you send the investigation process confirmation to the police?

- Of course, I did. - No, you didn't!

They called me to say that the suspect's signature is missing.

Are you going to keep going like this?

That can't be true.

Then why is the signature missing?

I'm sorry.

Mr. Cha, make sure you supervise them properly.

Why did you make me hear the higher-ups tell me...

to write an apology and explanation and talk about my performances?

I'm sorry.

Please... Please calm down, Mr. Lee.

You all became undisciplined because I was nice to you!

Please go into your office.

- Let go of me! - Yes, sir.

- I'm sorry. - Come with me.

Keep it together.

You should do your job properly!

I'm upset about making a mistake like that too.

Goong Hwa.

I can't focus on my work while walking on eggshells around you.

I hate myself being like this.

What's your point?

I told you it wasn't a good idea in the first place.

So you want to end this?

Is that what you want to say?

All right. Let's end this.

(Lovers in Bloom)

- I'm home, Mom. - Hee Jin, it's me.

Do you know anything about Ms. Heo?

It seems that she has started taking actions.

We registered our marriage today.

- Dad. I can't believe you. - Pardon?

How could you do that?

Fine feathers make fine birds. I look like a different person.

My goodness.

Take it easy. Do you want to collapse?

Don't date a man who makes you worry.

No. I want to date him. I don't mind him making me worry.

When you find a nice girl, never let her go.

Cha Tae Jin!
