(Lovers in Bloom)

(Episode 85)

There she is. Please come have a seat.

Legally, she's not my mother,

but she raised me and Bo Ra for almost 20 years.

I arranged this to thank her...

so that the two of you can catch up.

Do Hyun, how could you...

You don't need to be that grateful.

All right. I hope the two of you have a good time,

Ms. Heo...

and Inspector Cha.

How on earth...

have you been living your life?

Did you show up again in my life to show me this mess?

Tae Jin.

So, you're just living with Chairman Jin...

while putting up with such insults?

How dare you show up in front of us again?

Did you think you'd be able to win us back with money?

You left us for money.

How can you put us in this mess again because of money?

Tae Jin.

Don't call me with that mouth of yours.

I don't want to hear it.

I couldn't stand that you're living with a loan shark as his wife,

but you're not even actually married.

I...

I did it to survive. I couldn't die.

You should've...

You should've just died...

than show me this mess.

Leave.

Leave, please!

Unless you want to see me going insane, that is.

Dad won't be able to work for the next little while,

so you should bring all important documents to our place.

Sure, I will.

Especially things about Cha Tae Jin. Don't leave anything out.

All right.

By the way, what's going on with Bo Ra?

Shouldn't you at least tell me what's going on with her?

Right now, I can't.

I'll tell you later. We can talk about it another time.

Did you find her?

Yes.

So, wait just a little longer.

Okay. I'm relieved that you found her.

Do Hyun, it's me.

There's nowhere to go in this stupid neighborhood.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

I don't even know what to say to you.

I can't say I'm in support of what you've done,

but I can't drag you home because the damage is already done.

It's not like you'll let me drag you.

Do Hyun.

By the way, where are you staying now?

Their place is tiny.

- Su Hyuk and I use his room. - Good grief.

Dad won't forgive you easily.

You know that he'll lose it if you aggravate him now, right?

So, don't contact him for the next little while.

And don't come home.

How's Dad doing?

Are you worried about him after everything you did to him?

Of course he's not well.

I mean, you practically betrayed him.

Why are you making that kind of face after causing all this trouble?

I'm sure you expected this.

Yes, you're right.

I'm glad that it's not worse than this.

I actually thought that something a lot worse could happen.

So? Are you happy now?

Yes, I'm happy.

His family is good to me.

I'm sure.

They're nice people.

Do Hyun.

About Officer Moo...

Enough. You should get going.

Do Hyun, please.

Just go before I change my mind.

Okay. All right, then.

Get home safely.

Excuse me, could I get a bottle of soju?

Where have you been?

Oh, I was just out for a walk.

You should've asked me to come with you. It's dark outside.

You're not even dressed warmly. What if you catch a cold?

Hey, it's not that chilly.

Goong Hwa, don't play a jealous daughter-in-law.

Gosh!

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, I'm heading out for a walk.

Have a good walk.

Right, it's not dangerous at all for me to go out for a walk now,

and I won't even catch a cold.

I bet you're not worried at all.

What? You want me to go with you?

No, thanks.

- You should wear this. - Gosh.

It's okay. Don't worry.

Let's go in.

Where were you, really?

I told you that I was out for a walk.

I should go wash up.

Just a second.

Don't think that you can hide things from me. It shows on your face.

Do Hyun came by.

What did he say?

He just told me not to worry about anything.

Thankfully, I think Dad is all right.

To be honest with you, I've been so worried.

I thought he might collapse because of his blood pressure.

I'm relieved to know that he's okay.

My dad is actually a huge crybaby.

He has hypochondriac tendencies too.

Going to hospitals scares him a lot.

He got so mad when Mom booked a health checkup for him recently.

Don't worry too much.

He'll be all right,

and he'll come to understand us eventually.

I know.

- Hello. - Welcome.

Can I have 1 portion of fish tofu and 3 portions of dakbal to go?

Sure.

I guess...

Bo Ra didn't go for a walk. She stepped out to see you.

Do I know you...

You must be the person who lives with Bo Ra.

You're Bo Ra's sister-in-law now.

Our siblings got married when I couldn't even become your friend.

You must be very upset to send Bo Ra to my family.

My brother isn't so bad to make you that upset.

Besides, if Bo Ra is happy now,

wouldn't that make everything okay?

Just leave me alone so I can enjoy drinking.

I said, leave now.

I don't really want to see you today.

Mr. Jin.

Regardless of Bo Ra,

I don't want to see you.

Do you think I'm happy to see you every single day?

There are some days when it's painful...

for me to see you.

Today is one of those days.

So please go.

Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?

I went to Gangwon Province to find Bo Ra,

and I saw you with Cha Tae Jin there.

I feel terrible.

It's almost like a miracle...

that I drove all the way back to Seoul in that state of mind...

without causing any accident.

In fact,

you wouldn't even budge even when I'm in pain.

Because you have no interest in me.

Leave.

Please go away.

Stop making me upset.

Gosh, it's too salty.

You know I have high blood pressure. Did you do this on purpose or what?

Please stop it.

What did you say?

Am I your servant or what?

Your child is the one at fault. It's not me.

Why would you take it out on me? Why?

I can't believe you.

What's wrong? Are your children in trouble again or something?

My loving dad.

I'm home.

Did you have a drink?

Yes, just a little.

Don't worry about the company for a while.

I'll take care of everything.

All sorts of problems we have.

I'll deal with everything perfectly.

So don't burrow in your troubles.

Gosh, you startled me.

What are you doing in my room?

I warned you not to bother my children.

Do you think I'll just let it slide?

You won't let it slide? What are you going to do?

- Do Hyun. - Listen!

Why did you act up without knowing your place?

- What? - Do you know what Tae Jin is doing?

He's been digging my dad's information.

Do you think Dad fainted...

just because of Bo Ra?

He reached his limit of stress because of that jerk Cha Tae Jin!

How could he check my dad's background?

You should be grateful that I didn't go further.

If anything like this happens again,

I won't end it like this.

She's here. Please have a seat.

Did you show up again in my life to show me this mess?

Tae Jin.

Don't call me with that mouth of yours.

I don't want to hear it.

So, what did you decide to do?

As Tae Jin advised us, we'll take him to a clinic for a test.

A clinic?

Do you mean a mental hospital?

Why would you take him there for being downcast?

These days, people often go see a doctor...

to get treatment for stress.

Anyway, illness of the mind is still illness.

You made the right decision.

Grandma just hates everything I do.

But it's true.

Don't think about anything else. Just worry about your child.

We should.

Hey, when did you come home?

He must've come home late at night.

We rarely see him lately.

See you later, Grandma.

Tell Officer Moo...

that I'm grateful for her help.

(Chamsu-ri Substation)

You guys are going to miss me so much.

You realize someone's real value when he's not around.

I may seem like I don't do anything,

but actually, there's nothing I don't do.

That's me.

They chose only me as soon as I applied for the position.

Yes, Mr. Park. You must be so happy that you're competent.

- Good. - I'm so envious of you.

Well... Is that all?

I can't believe you guys. This is so disappointing.

Do I really have to say it?

"Mr. Park, I'm so sad to say goodbye."

"We should have a farewell party."

Do I really have to tell you this?

- We're back. - We're back.

Officer Moo, I didn't know you were so mean.

I was once your partner.

How can you do this to me?

Pardon me? I don't understand...

He's talking about his farewell party.

Of course, we should have a farewell party.

Oh, my. I knew Officer Moo wouldn't let me down.

How about today? Shall we set the date now?

Mr. Cha, are you free tonight?

I'm sorry. I'm busy today.

Goodness. What's with this tension?

Hey, it's normal for me to start to feel...

disappointed now, isn't it?

Why are you making such a fuss about being gone for a while?

You're right. I won't.

Mr. Lee.

Mr. Cha won't transfer to the police station, right?

That won't happen. So stop thinking about useless things,

and do your work properly. Okay?

What's with Mr. Cha lately?

Yes, Dad.

Okay, I'll come out in a bit.

Why are you so busy?

Mr. Park is so disappointed.

Is he?

We can do it another time.

What do you want for lunch?

Is it because it's September now? I'm craving hot soup.

I'm sorry. I have to meet someone.

Something is going on, right?

No.

Then why are you never available?

You'll be busy like this tomorrow too, right?

What are you trying to say?

Do you think I'm dumb?

Is it hard for you to tell your family?

It's not that.

I'll see you later.

Tell me what you want to say.

I'm sure you're not here just to have lunch with me.

What's going on?

Something is up, right?

I don't think it's about Officer Moo.

I asked you what is going on.

Did you know?

Mom is...

just cohabiting with that man.

How did you know?

That guy, Jin Do Hyun, arranged for us to meet,

saying he wants me to meet someone who's been looking after his dad.

- Tae Jin. - The drug case three years ago.

I think it's connected to Chairman Jin.

Hence, I want to do my best to unbury the truth.

It's dangerous to let your emotions drive you like this.

Such cases are hard to solve even if you keep your cool.

I'm not being swayed by my emotions.

I can't give up on the investigation because of my personal life.

That is true, but...

And I have...

made up my mind to marry Goong Hwa.

Tae Jin.

I hope you can understand me even if you can't give us your blessings.

I should get back to work.

I thought Goong Hwa would get married before he does.

Hey.

Goodness, okay.

Then they didn't even have a wedding?

They said they had a small wedding without inviting anyone,

but I have a lot on my mind these days because of all this.

Gosh, that girl from the rich family...

told her family that she can't live without Su Hyuk and moved in here.

My gosh, I'm very impressed by Su Hyuk.

I thought he had no interest in dating.

He got himself a great catch.

Great catch, my foot.

Come on, she is a great catch.

I know that her parents don't approve of him now,

- but all of their money will be... - Gosh, hey.

Seriously. Don't say things like that.

How they accused him of being after their money still infuriates me.

By the way, how is that girl going to live in that teeny-weeny room?

That room isn't that tiny!

I heard rich people's bathrooms are bigger than our houses.

Well, I guess I can change the wallpaper,

but that won't change much.

Oh, right. What about that guy, Ju Young?

Wasn't he staying in that room?

I heard that he'd stay in their office for the next little while.

Gosh. That woman, Gyung Ah, will cry her eyes out if she finds out.

I feel bad too.

I didn't kick him out, but I feel as if I did.

- Ju Young. - What brings you here, Mom?

You said you got a new office. Of course I have to visit you.

By the way, where's your boss?

He stepped out.

It's not as nice as the old office,

but it's better than working in that room.

Gosh, why did you buy this? It must've been heavy.

It's not heavy at all.

I'll pick up some pork belly and drop it off at Officer Moo's place.

Have it for dinner.

Actually... Mom.

I've decided to stay here.

Why all of a sudden?

Did you cause trouble or something?

No.

My boss got married unexpectedly.

That is so sudden.

It's a long story.

Anyway, what can I do?

Then do you sleep on this couch?

No.

Su Hyuk went to get a bed for me.

So, you don't need to worry at all.

Mom, do you want coffee?

We have all kinds of coffee here. What do you feel like?

No, it's okay. Just sit down and eat.

The food will get cold.

Eat slowly.

It's me.

Can we meet? It's about our children.

I've been wanting to sit down and talk to you as well.

Thanks so much for calling.

Where should we meet?

Whatever works for you.

I can meet you anywhere.

Then I'll see you where we met last time.

Why aren't you getting ready to go home?

Woo Ri said something weird a few days ago.

She told me not to get remarried.

One of her friends lives with a stepfather...

because her parents got divorced.

I think she told Woo Ri that her stepfather hates her.

After she heard that, she was like, "Mom, don't get married."

She went on about it.

Really?

That little kid has been so downcast since that day.

How can I make her feel better?

Shall I take her to a kids' cafe?

Don't coddle her too much. It may not be good for her.

Woo Ri is so young, but she seems pretty stubborn...

and strongly opinionated.

You need to teach her to behave herself.

Right.

Did I hurt your feelings?

What you said is right.

It looks like I made a mistake.

No, it's not like I don't know how you are.

Gosh, this is...

Good night, Mother.

Su Hyuk, give us some privacy.

I want to have a talk with Bo Ra.

About what?

Just go to your room. I won't bite her.

Sorry.

You must be stressed out.

No. I'm fine, Ms. Lee.

- Ms. Lee? - I'm sorry, Mother.

This must be hard for you.

- Not at all. - Don't deny it.

You grew up so comfortably thanks to your rich family.

Being part of a family that doesn't have a lot...

isn't easy.

I'm sure you've never had to worry about money so far,

but my family has to save every penny.

I'll remember that.

Come in.

What's Su Hyuk doing?

He's probably sleeping.

Is the passion already fizzling out?

Of course not.

Living with us here is probably not easy for you.

My mom can be cranky at times.

She used to be so sweet to me.

She's your mother-in-law now, you know.

I heard that women don't even want to hear the word, "in-law".

You're living with your in-laws.

That's right.

Why are you sighing?

Today,

I discussed matters regarding Woo Ri with him.

His reaction wasn't very positive.

He was too objective saying right things.

Can't he just side with Woo Ri...

and feel upset about it too?

Try not to expect too much.

You know how I grew up.

My mom isn't a bad person,

but she couldn't be my real mom after all.

Accepting the fact that a stepdad is just a stepdad...

will help you prevent being hurt.

The higher your expectations,

the greater your disappointment.

Woo Ri.

Hello.

How did you come here?

- Did you come here by yourself? - Yes.

Yoon Hee's mom gave me a ride.

Yoon Hee's mom?

Yes, she's my friend's mom.

I told her that my mom is here...

and asked her to drive me here.

Did you?

Where is my mom?

Your mom stepped out briefly, but she'll be back shortly.

Hey, you're here.

- Hi. - Hello.

Woo Ri, sit here for just a while.

I'll be back shortly.

Okay.

Where did Mom go?

So, you're going to continue digging Chairman Jin's information alone?

Yes, I should do that.

Senior Inspector Hwang won't let you do that.

He told me to do the investigation properly.

What are you going to all by yourself?

You're already busy with your work here.

I should do whatever it takes to go back to the police station.

Have a safe trip.

I'll visit you some time.

Gosh. That's a promise.

Where did she go? Woo Ri.

Woo Ri!

Yes. Come again? No, Woo Ri isn't here.

Did she really drive her here?

Where on earth did she go?

Okay, Mom. I'll call you back. Yes. Bye.

- Hello. - Hi, Officer Moo.

Where did the kid go?

Mr. Cha, what happened to Woo Ri?

Well... Actually, while I was talking with Detective Han...

she disappeared, I think.

What did you say?

Woo Ri... Woo Ri!

Woo Ri!

Oh, that's Mr. Tall.

(Lovers in Bloom)

We'll be able to confirm it when he wakes up.

- Why would he do that? - Mr. Santa didn't play with me.

Are you saying that he was with her when it happened?

- You're mad at me. - I don't want to talk right now.

- Do Hyun had a crush on Goong Hwa? - Did you not know that?

Do you know who shook your restaurant down?

- Who is it? - It's the chairman's son!

Oh, no. I'll do it.

I'm almost done.

How much longer will you stay like this?

Please wake up.
