(Chamsu-ri Substation)

She looks like Jin Do Hyun's mother.

Why aren't you getting in?

I will.

I wonder what brings her here.

What are you talking about?

It's nothing.

The girl Do Hyun likes is Tae Jin's partner?

You should draw a line between work and your personal life.

- What do you mean? - Earlier in the break room.

"Officer Moo, wait outside."

Don't worry about it.

I wish you wouldn't worry about me.

What do you mean?

I mean Corporal Jang.

I can handle it myself.

Don't you trust me?

You do, right?

I don't like it when men try to protect me like a kid,

both at work and when I'm dating.

I want you to treat me as an equal human being...

and co-worker,

not as a man would a woman.

Then make me stop worrying.

Why would you say that?

I took the test as passed to become a police officer.

I know how to look after myself.

Do you think I won't be able to handle that much?

You can control your emotions?

Trust me.

I show better performance when the boss believes in me.

Haven't you heard of mutual trust?

I get it, so stop being upset and eat.

However,

I bet you'll feel disappointed if I treat you like that outside of work.

Will you be okay?

About what?

Me treating you as an equal human being and co-worker.

You'll regret it.

Eat up.

I don't know if it's because of how I feel,

but I don't feel like eating anything.

You should still eat something.

You've done nothing to be proud of.

That's why I can't eat.

Shut your mouth and eat.

Dad, you're not making any sense.

How can I eat with my mouth shut?

You must be feeling better if you can crack jokes like that.

Stop being smart and eat.

Only then will you get rid of all this.

Porridge is the most unappetizing food in the world,

especially plain porridge.

Couldn't you have mixed something in to make it appetizing?

You lack sincerity.

She made plain porridge on purpose.

You should have something that won't upset your stomach...

after pumping it.

I'll eat it later.

I want to get some rest, so why don't you go home?

All right. You can all leave.

I'll stay here.

- You will? - Yes.

You're staying?

Treating me like this when I'm fine...

makes me feel like I'm going to die soon.

Don't even say something like that.

I'll stay.

That's a good idea.

- Let's go. - Okay.

This happened because of you,

so make sure he eats.

Okay.

Do you think I'm a little kid?

Get better soon.

Let's go. Come on.

- Gosh. - Let's go.

I bet you don't want to be here with me. You should leave too.

I'll have to ask them for a new one.

We should've left so they could make up. How could you be so slow?

They're siblings.

They don't need to make up with each other.

If you think of it from Bo Ra's viewpoint, we might've let her down.

She might be more disappointed in him because he's her brother.

Gosh. She's so immature.

Doesn't she know that he did that for her own sake?

He must've been really upset because of Bo Ra...

to drink that much.

Ever since he was young, he always cared so much about Bo Ra.

Even though he has a short temper,

he has a good heart inside.

Rest now. You didn't sleep at all last night.

I feel so thirsty all of a sudden.

He doesn't know it was actually about a woman.

If he finds out...

that it was because of a single mom...

My goodness.

This corn is so good. Isn't it, Woo Ri?

Yes. It's really delicious, Mom.

This corn is from Gangwon Province. It's so good.

Su Hyuk, buy some corn on your way back from Muju tomorrow.

Corn in Muju are very good.

Muju? Are you going to Muju?

Yes. There's a festival held in Muju every autumn.

I think it'd be a good opportunity.

It's safe because it's organized by the district office,

and we may get the job every year.

I hope it will go well for you.

- Woo Ri, did you write your diary? - Yes, Mom.

I should check that out and read the notes from kindergarten.

- Okay. - Okay.

Bye, Woo Ri.

Isn't Ju Young going with you?

One person is enough for the trip.

He has some work to do here.

Yes. While he's gone, I should take care of all the petty work.

It's harder than his trip.

- Is it? - It's true.

Just think that he'll enjoy driving...

in the air-conditioned car.

What a slacker.

It's so hot.

It'd be nice if you take turns driving the car.

Taekwondo uniform.

Where can I get it at this hour?

I got a role of a taekwondo player in the play.

I have to wear a uniform.

Okay. I'll figure something out.

Let me think.

Who's learning taekwondo among her friends?

Hi, Mr. Cha. Yes. Actually,

I have to make calls to Woo Ri's friends.

Yes. I need to borrow a taekwondo uniform.

I'll call you back later.

Sorry?

This is awesome.

I asked Hae Chan, and he still had it.

My sister kept all of his stuff.

Thank you, Mr. Cha.

We're not in the substation now.

I can't seem to bring myself to call you differently.

Maybe it's because I respect you greatly as my team manager.

You're a very useful boyfriend.

Did you realize that just now?

By the way, I'm impressed by your sister.

Hae Chan doesn't have a younger sibling,

but she kept things like this.

My sister is overly affectionate with Hae Chan.

She seems to worry about you a lot too.

She's almost like your mom.

That's true.

Does that worry you?

No. Why would I worry?

When are you going to let me keep my promise I made to Woo Ri?

There's no rush. We can take it slow.

We just started dating.

It makes my heart flutter to do what I haven't done in a long time.

Don't try to avoid my question.

Let's go next week.

- Did you get it? - Yes.

Why don't you go to bed? You said you'll leave early tomorrow.

You must be so tired.

Hey. You work night shifts every other day.

I shouldn't complain about my work schedule.

Is that so?

Anyway, don't work too hard.

I'm not working too hard.

The thought of what Mom when through that day keeps me awake.

It's the same for me. It must be worse for you.

Just wait and see.

I'll make sure to become successful.

So I can make you, Woo Ri, and Mom...

smile happily.

I have faith in you!

You sound like a cult leader.

Don't say that. I do have faith in you.

I have faith in you! Believe me.

Do you remember that you helped me...

on behalf of Mom when I caused trouble in school?

Thinking of that time, you improved greatly as a person.

My friends used to say that I must have been stressed out...

because of my twin brother, who is handsome and gets good grades.

But I wasn't stressed out at all.

So many girls would buy me burgers,

so they can see your face.

To tell you the truth, I'm very proud of you.

Hey, all the successful people have failed...

before they became successful.

"Great talents mature late." Haven't you heard that?

Why are you overacting?

You met your team manager saying it's to get Woo Ri's supply, right?

No. What are you talking about?

You can never fool me.

See?

Your face turned red.

Go to sleep.

Your face is so red.

When did you wake up?

Just now.

Do you want something to eat?

I'm good.

Do Hyun, I have something to ask you about.

What is it?

Did you like Officer Moo, by any chance?

Is that why you sent the lunch box to the substation?

It's late. Go home.

Where have you been?

Did you meet that woman Officer Moo?

Yes, I did. Why did you come out here?

Are you really the brother that I know?

Did she say that she needed a taekwondo uniform?

- And you stepped out at this hour? - Hee Jin.

Why did you give her Hae Chan's thing? That's upsetting.

I just borrowed it to her for a while.

Who allowed you to borrow it to her?

Do you think I'm fine with it because I didn't say anything?

I'm trying hard to hold back even though my blood is boiling!

- Hee Jin! - What is she thinking?

What kind of person is she?

Sure. She can date you.

Why would she have rejected you when a single man asked her out?

Even so, did you really have to tell her everything about us?

I understand.

I didn't think of how you'd feel. I'm sorry.

I'll tell her to return it shortly.

Do you think I'm talking about the taekwondo uniform?

I'm no longer a 11-year-old boy!

So, are you telling me not to meddle in your life?

What's with the tension? Are you two arguing?

It's nothing serious. Good night, Baek Ho.

- Good night, Hee Jin. - Tae Jin.

What's the matter this time?

Wait, did you tell Tae Jin about Mother?

I mean, your mother.

What? Do you think I'm crazy?

Then why did he look like that?

He was happy when he left,

but after talking to you, he looked upset.

Why do you blame me for everything?

Tae Jin normally doesn't show his emotions.

- I bet you were... - You don't know anything.

Tae Jin is interested in a woman who has a child.

How could I not be upset?

What are you talking about?

Tae Jin is dating Officer Moo.

- What? - He's into that single mom...

and doing outrageous things.

Wait.

Are you leaving already?

You should've gotten more sleep. Why are you up already?

I woke up early.

You should have some breakfast.

I can grab something simple at a rest stop.

Get some more sleep.

It'd be nice to take turns driving in this heat.

I'll be fine.

If you get sleepy while driving,

make sure to pull over and take a quick nap.

I told you not to worry.

See you later.

Yes, see you.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hurry up and eat.

What if he upsets his stomach?

I'm worried he'll be late for his academy.

That's why I told you to get up early.

Were you playing with your phone until late last night?

No, I didn't.

Hee Jin, what are you so busy with lately?

Where did you go without watching the restaurant?

I'm looking for a tutor for Hae Chan.

It's very hard to find one...

that is good enough to improve his grades.

You're such a helicopter mom.

Hae Chan isn't a little kid anymore.

You should ask about his opinion...

instead of making all the decisions by yourself.

You're right.

That's exactly what I've been saying.

Yes, Hae Chan is all grown up.

He isn't a little kid.

Do as Tae Jin suggested.

Why would I listen to him?

Tae Jin, why are you butting in when you know nothing?

He's just saying we should go easy on Hae Chan...

at least during his break since he's at a sensitive age. Right, Tae Jin?

What if he falls behind?

What are you going to do then?

I get it. Let's stop talking about it and finish breakfast.

Everyone is still eating.

There's a reason when I say no.

Hee Jin.

I'm just saying because he's putting his nose where it doesn't belong.

I wouldn't care whether he has a tutor or not if he weren't my son.

I nag at him...

because he's my child.

Why are you causing such a scene?

An uncle could voice his opinion if he's worried about his nephew.

You went too far.

I feel bad for students nowadays.

They should be running around and having fun, but instead they...

carry around heavy backpacks.

What do you know to butt in?

- What? - Hee Jin.

- How dare you say that. - Good job.

What are you trying to teach Hae Chan?

It's okay.

She probably just said that because she was upset.

I really don't need a tutor.

Kang Hae Chan.

I'll see you later.

Tae Jin.

Don't be too upset.

You know how she gets about you.

I do.

I don't know what to do with her.

Men and women could get attracted while working together,

get coffee or a meal. It's no big deal.

I have no idea why she's been so sensitive lately.

She's acting as if you were planning to get married soon.

Young men and women...

date and break up all the time.

I'm not dating her casually.

Are you even considering marrying her?

I should go to work.

Okay, have a nice day.

What if this creates chaos?

Are you sick?

I'm having trouble digesting because of all the commotion at breakfast.

I'm sorry.

What is going on?

Hee Jin isn't the type to get upset at you.

Is something going on between you two?

It's no big deal. I'm going to work.

I'm back.

Oh, yes.

- Did you get your award? - Yes.

What are you waiting for? Give her a hand.

Applause.

Congratulations.

I didn't know I'd live to see the day that...

our troublemaker, Officer Moo, gets an award.

You caused us some trouble with that demonstration not long ago.

I know. Our phones were ringing off the hook.

She won this award by getting involved with cases...

without sparing herself.

She doesn't slack off like someone I know.

Just congratulate her. Why are you nagging at me?

You like being center of attention.

I'm going to start sulking if you keep doing that.

Anyway, I'm proud of you.

Keep this up from now on, okay?

Thank you. I'll do my best.

You're not thinking of just going home...

after winning an award, are you?

Shouldn't we get a cold beer on a day like this?

You should consider whom you are talking to before saying that.

Do you think the penny-pincher Officer Moo will buy us a drink?

Why would you say that?

I can't treat you out to anything fancy, but I can buy you a beer.

But let's go home after the first round.

Then why don't we go to Tae Jin's sister's place...

after work for a drink?

That's a good idea. They'll give us food on the house,

since his partner won an award.

Let's have sea snails and soju today.

That sounds good.

Are you planning to get drunk today?

What is it? Do you have something to say to me?

Thank you.

For what?

I've learned so much from you.

I often thought I should become a police officer like you.

Thank you for worrying about me.

As you said, it wasn't easy.

So I thought about it hard and hesitated as well.

I like Mr. Cha.

I want to muster up my courage.

What are you trying to say?

Are you telling me to back off?

Corporal.

Good luck.

However, I don't think I can congratulate you.

I wonder if it'll work out for you two.

You'll have to make too many people suffer.

Is anyone here?

Did they go somewhere?

I should've called first.

My legs are aching like crazy.

Excuse me.

I didn't expect to see you.

Aren't you the one who did our all-purpose cooker commercial?

What?

They moved? Where to?

I don't know.

Weren't you working with them?

What brings you here?

I'm the sister of Mr. Koo...

and wanted to discuss some business with them.

Why didn't you call them?

I wouldn't have come here if I could talk about it over the phone.

What should I do?

I have a good business opportunity to offer them.

Do you think you can arrange a meeting with them today?

I have to go back to our factory in Cheolwon by 5pm.

As I'm quite old now,

it's hard for me to drive at night.

Well...

It appears that you always take Tae Jin's side.

I wasn't taking his side. He was right about that.

He hates studying. He won't study just because he has a new tutor.

You said Tae Jin never took private lessons.

He was different from Hae Chan.

Tae Jin was always on top of his class since elementary school.

You said Hae Chan resembles Tae Jin.

What I meant is he could become like Tae Jin if he tries.

I wish he had not only my family's looks but our brains too.

What do you mean by that?

To be honest, you're not exactly book smart.

Do you think you are?

I couldn't study hard because of my circumstances.

There's an excuse for everything.

Have you thought of anything?

What are you talking about?

An idea for a business.

Our restaurant is doing well. Why would I think about it?

I don't want to smell chicken anymore.

It'd be nice to run a franchise cafe.

Our part-timers would do all the work.

Just put the napkins in the dispensers.

Maybe I should learn English before sending Hae Chan to study abroad.

Will you study abroad with him?

Mother... I mean, your mother is living with someone.

Would he be happy about that if he finds out?

Hi, Mom.

I looked for a tutor for Hae Chan.

I found a competent person.

No. That's not good enough.

Hae Chan's future depends on this.

Let's meet up tomorrow and talk more about it.

Good. Okay. Bye.

Here you go.

You must be busy at work,

and you have to visit the hospital.

You're going through a lot because of Do Hyun.

That's okay.

I'm worried.

If my husband finds out about Do Hyun,

he'll throw a fit.

He has high blood pressure. What if he collapses in shock?

I hope that it's simple curiosity.

I don't think it is.

I've never seen Do Hyun distressed because of a woman.

He used to pursue money and think of women as toys.

I would've been shocked if she's a divorcee.

I can't believe he fell for a single mom.

Chairman Jin must not know about this.

Do you understand?

If something happens, let me know first.

I'll tell him if I have a chance.

I understand.

On a hot day like today,

chicken and beer would be perfect.

I agree with you,

but Mr. Cha is craving spicy sea snails today.

I promise I'll buy you beer later.

- Please keep your promise. - Of course, he will.

You know he wouldn't make an empty promise.

I'm excited to drink for free twice.

Why isn't Mr. Lee coming out?

Gosh. Everyone, let's go!

- Yes, sir. - Let's go!

Let me take this call.

Hi, Ju Young.

What are you talking about?

An accident?

- I'm very sorry. - You're sorry?

I bought that car two weeks ago, and you totaled it.

I have nothing to say to you,

but please take my financial status into consideration.

You shouldn't have driven so close to my car in the first place.

You should've known your place.

Hey. Do you think I can get 700,000 dollars...

if I sell it?

My deepest apology.

I don't want anything else from you.

Make my car look the way it did...

before the accident.

Got it?

But...

Please...

Su Hyuk.

- How did you know I was here? - Are you all right?

Are you hurt anywhere?

I'm fine.

I told you to be more careful.

How did you know?

Ju Young told me.

I had a minor accident.

So... Are you...

(Lovers in Bloom)

Are you saying you're going to prison?

Could it be that he caused the accident to get insurance?

Mother. I set the alarm.

I'm sure you turned it off.

Once you get lazy, you'll be lazy forever.

Let's go out together.

Who is Bo Ra?

You shouldn't have made a promise.

Should I have stood my daughter up to keep the promise I made to Bo Ra?

Could you please let it slide just this once?

I'm sorry.

If you don't have money, you should find another way.
