(Lovers in Bloom)

(Episode 97)

It's Mr. Tall.

Mr. Tall!

Woo Ri.

I was thinking of you when I saw the playground.

Is that so?

Can you play with me today?

I want to play police officer with you.

I'm sorry.

I'm busy today and have to leave soon.

You promised to play with me.

You shouldn't whine.

He says he's busy.

Hi.

Why did you come when you're so busy?

I wanted to see Woo Ri.

Is something wrong?

You look down.

You're the only one...

that noticed the look on my face.

Woo Ri, as soon as I'm done with everything,

I'll come and play with you.

Really?

Can we even go to an amusement park?

Of course, let's go see elephants at the zoo while we're at it.

Really?

Did I ever break my promises?

No.

See you.

Mr. Tall.

Good luck.

Where were you?

- What is it? - Chairman Jin is in his office.

He's been asking for you for a while now.

Why did you come to work with your condition? You should rest.

Sit down.

What are you going to do?

Why do you keep asking the same thing? It's getting boring.

I told you.

I love Moo Goong Hwa.

You'll come to your senses after I die.

Don't you remember...

what happened when Mom died?

I still remember it vividly.

She had tears in her eyes...

and held my hands in hers.

That's how she passed away.

Why are you bringing that up?

I was hurt,

but you forced me to accept Ms. Heo as my mother.

You knew how much I hated that.

You didn't care about breaking your son's heart.

I got through it even at that young age.

So I'm going to ask you to bear through this for me.

No matter what you say, I won't accept this anymore.

I can't live...

- with anyone other than her. - Do Hyun.

You know I was never interested in getting married.

I didn't want anyone to live a miserable life like Mom,

and I was scared...

I might end up with someone who only likes money like Ms. Heo.

Dad. If I marry her,

I think I can be happy.

That's why I can't give up.

If you keep this up,

I'll kick you out...

with nothing, not even the hotel.

Do you think I told you without being prepared for that?

I know how baffled you'd be.

Give in to me.

Then I'll walk out on my own feet...

without you having to kick me out.

Are you okay?

Get the car ready.

I need to go to the hospital.

Okay.

Chairman Jin is going down now.

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

I heard you created quite a scene today, Officer Moo.

Police officers should be fair.

You can't side with one person like that.

She had reason to.

The apartment that banned...

delivery men without notification is responsible for this.

Is that so?

If you say so.

There are power-tripping people everywhere.

Mr. Cha, see me in my office.

Okay.

Why do you come here so often?

I'll take that as you're happy to see me.

- Where's Mr. Cha? - In Mr. Lee's office.

All right.

I heard the Mole is the one who hit Officer Moo's husband.

- Yes. - I don't believe it.

Bad men keep doing bad things.

Are you okay with the stakeout...

on top of the work here?

Mr. Park is helping me out.

I know how you feel,

but be careful.

If you make any mistakes to blow this case,

- you might have to quit your job. - I know that.

What are you doing to do now?

Gosh.

What is it?

I'm sorry.

You should be.

We could've caught him yesterday.

Where will we find that slippery imbecile?

It's okay.

It's not like he can disappear into thin air.

Mr. Cha will find him wherever he runs.

Did the Mole do anything to get on Mr. Cha's bad side?

Yes, they go way back.

Do you remember the drug case...

Mr. Cha failed to break?

The Mole is the drug mule he was after.

He went off the grid, so we couldn't catch him.

He faced disciplinary action for excessive investigation.

I'm sure Mr. Cha will try to see the end of this case.

He seems determined.

He won't give up after what happened.

His honor and future are on the line.

You're here.

What did Officer Moo say?

She didn't say much.

She was just asking questions because she's curious.

How could she not be since he killed her husband?

What did Mr. Lee say?

He's just worried.

Where should we find him now?

The only way we can find him now is to follow Chairman Jin.

You're right. Seeing that he took a risk...

and showed up near the Seoul Corporation building,

he definitely has something to do with Chairman Jin.

Mole will find a way to contact Chairman Jin again no matter what.

Goodness.

That means we're going to stake out again tonight.

That's right.

What brings you here?

I was passing by,

my lousy car stopped in front of your office.

- Do you want some tea? - I'm good.

I'm just dropping by to see you briefly.

The sleeves are worn out.

I've been wearing this jacket since I was in college.

But it's really comfortable.

Will you be home late tonight again?

Why don't you come early and get a good sleep?

Are you trying to seduce me?

You must be tired.

I'm a little tired, but I'm okay because I have you.

What would you have done if you hadn't gotten me back?

What if I had lived near the beach...

and married a handsome fisherman?

How would your life have been?

Would you have wandered around to find me?

I would have met a nice girl while wandering and married her.

- You look so suspicious. - What are you talking about?

Your mind is wandering...

even while looking at me, your husband.

It's because of Do Hyun.

What about him?

Did something happen to him?

Do Hyun can't seem to get over Goong Hwa.

He said he had already told Dad about her.

I'm sure Dad threw a fit.

What if Dad barges into our house again?

Hey. You're back.

- Yes. Where is your nephew? - He left a while ago.

That little boy.

He turned out to be cuter than I thought.

The men in that family are all nice.

Including my brother, Tae Jin.

Do Hyun.

I will go have lunch.

Okay.

Please have a seat.

What brings you here? You didn't say you'd come.

Didn't Officer Moo say anything to you?

My dad called her over to his office.

What did you say?

I meant to introduce her to Dad...

after finishing the hotel project I'm working on now.

- Do Hyun. - But that was it.

Officer Moo will never be bothered by my dad again.

Don't you think you're too reckless?

You know that Goong Hwa doesn't love you.

Yes, I know that.

However, Officer Moo is Woo Ri's mom.

Wouldn't it be wise to choose someone...

who can be a good dad for Woo Ri rather than the one she loves?

Do Hyun.

I didn't interfere in your relationship with Bo Ra.

So don't try to stop me if you're not going to help me.

What matters the most is how Goong Hwa feels.

Please don't distress Goong Hwa...

when she's going through a hard time just to satisfy your greed.

That hurts my feelings.

I'm sorry.

As it's autumn, the weather is nice, and there are many good plays.

However, I don't have anyone to see those with.

Mr. Cha, do you have any plans for tonight?

Why do you ask?

I have something to discuss with you.

I'm sorry. I think I'll be busy for a while.

I won't take much of your time.

Okay then.

I don't know what it's about, but you can talk to him here.

Why would you have to meet him outside?

It's none of your business.

She just asked him out, right?

I think so.

Gosh. I knew Corporal Jang could do that,

but I didn't know Mr. Cha was like that.

I thought he knew how to keep his private and public life separate.

I hope I didn't upset you before. Did I?

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

My father told me after meeting my uncle...

that he thinks highly of Mr. Cha, and asked if I'd date him.

So I told him that I will date him.

I can't go on blind dates when there's someone I love.

I'm sorry if it was upsetting to you.

That's okay.

Honestly, I did it on purpose.

I was afraid you might refuse.

I knew you couldn't turn me down in front of Officer Moo.

I believe...

that your feelings are important in marriage,

but it's also important to consider every aspect rationally.

I have romantic feelings for you,

but I'm sure that you can be a good husband for me.

Corporal Jang.

I want to date you on the premise...

that we'll get married.

Why would you borrow trouble? That would be foolish.

Mr. Cha.

You can see the answer if you think rationally, not emotionally,

just as you said.

You know that I'm not a good catch.

In fact, isn't a son of the head family the worst man to marry?

I've decided not to worry about things like that.

I'll try.

I'll try to make you like me as a woman.

I already told you that that won't make any difference.

Is it because of Officer Moo?

I know...

that you still have feelings for her.

She doesn't seem to know that though.

You're so smart as always.

I think I don't have to worry about you.

I'll get going.

Are you feeling any better?

How did Do Hyun meet that girl?

In fact, Do Hyun got injured a while back.

I didn't want you to worry,

- so I didn't tell you. - What did you say?

It looked like someone hit him from behind with a bat.

The person who saved him was Officer Moo.

That means you knew about it all along.

Why didn't you tell me anything about it?

You're right. I knew it, but I turned a blind eye.

I couldn't bring myself to tell you.

It was because I knew well what Do Hyun means to you.

I don't think that's the reason.

I'm sure you wanted to see him fall down.

He's always been harsh on you.

Didn't you want him to ruin his own life?

Honey.

Gosh. Now, I can see clearly...

that you are just a stranger to us.

Haven't you thought about what you did to me?

I'm the one who helped you out when your life was in danger.

When you found your children, you didn't care about us.

I'm grateful that you raised my children,

and I'm sorry that I couldn't register our marriage.

Still, I did my very best to make you happy.

You're disappointing me like this after all.

You said you wanted to end it.

All right. Let's think about...

how we should...

end our long, twisted relationship.

Mr. Yoon, arrange a meeting with him as soon as possible.

Yes, Ms. Heo.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry about before.

You know that I've been stressed out a lot.

Because of my mom and Hae Chan.

I should be sorry to you.

I made you say such a thing.

Baek Ho, please.

Here you go.

I was hoping to talk to you...

about Hae Chan.

He says he wants to cook.

Cook?

He told you that?

Yes, I realized he loves to cook.

Cook?

That means he won't be studying anymore.

- Hee Jin. - Cooking is fine.

But what about if he gets sick of it later?

He won't be able to study or cook.

What is he going to do then?

He can always go back to studying.

He's young. What are you worried about?

Do you think it's easy to become a chef?

Don't you think he'll try hard since he's interested?

What if doesn't turn out well?

He might quit cooking from the lack of perseverance as he quit studying.

He couldn't even stand what other kids do.

I know what you're worried about,

but Hae Chan might have found his path earlier than others.

You're lucky...

you're so positive about everything.

Gosh.

You're home late.

Yes, I visited...

Uncle Ju Young.

Really? Was he nice to you?

Yes, we had fun.

What was so fun?

We played games and had ramyeon.

He's very good at games.

I was always worried because of those games.

However, that's why he started studying graphic design.

You should try to learn what you like...

and what you're good at.

Hae Chan, what do you want to do?

- I want to cook. - Cook?

It'd be great to become a chef.

Hee Jin.

Did you drink?

Yes, I had a drink.

Hae Chan wants to become a chef.

- Do you want to become a chef? - Yes.

You don't like that, do you?

Let's think about it.

Don't you want him to become a chef?

No, I actually don't want him to.

What's wrong with being a chef?

There are so many chefs on TV these days,

and they make a lot of money.

Who knows?

Maybe Hae Chan will become a world-famous chef.

What were you like when you were young?

I was a wild kid.

Although I have nothing left,

my family used to be very rich.

My parents raised me like a princess.

I can see that.

Even when you weren't in the best situation,

you always seem positive.

Maybe that's why Dad liked you so much.

Hee Jin.

What are you doing there?

I heard my mom came from a very poor family.

After Hae Chan's incident,

I blamed my mom for everything.

However, I couldn't bring myself to hate her.

She was always dressed up nicely,

but I felt bad for her because she always looked like...

she was running away from something.

Of course, she's your mom.

That's what family is about.

I think...

she regrets...

leaving us.

It broke my heart...

to see her like that.

If it weren't for you,

Dad might have...

taken Mom back.

Hee Jin.

What are you talking about?

Sang Chul, go in with Choon Rae.

It's okay, she's just drunk.

Take her to your room.

Come on.

Did you drink?

Yes, Grandma. I had a drink.

You should go in and sleep if you're drunk.

How could you say that to her?

What is with you lately?

I don't know, Grandma.

I have no idea what is wrong with me.

I thought I was trying my best to live a good life,

but everything is ruined.

Don't mind what Hee Jin said.

She's your daughter. She could blame me like that.

She said nothing wrong.

If it weren't for me,

you wouldn't have turned a blind eye to their mother.

Don't be stupid.

What?

Hee Jin might say that because it's her mom,

but even if it weren't for you,

she would've left without being satisfied with this life.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't even had considered getting married again.

Sang Chul.

Do you really not know how I feel?

Do I have to turn my heart inside out?

Yes, show me.

I can't tell at all.

Don't say that.

I won't ever meet her again.

I promise you.

- I'm home. - Hi.

- Mom. - We're home.

How come you're coming together?

We met out front.

What are you carrying?

I bought a jacket on my way home...

because Su Hyuk's was worn out.

Let me show you.

What do you think? Isn't it pretty?

It looks very expensive.

It's not very expensive, Mother.

But it looks expensive, doesn't it?

This is how good Bo Ra is at choosing clothes.

You must be tired. Go in and get some rest.

- Okay. - Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

What is with you, Mom?

What?

Are you trying to find fault with Bo Ra?

Why are you making her feel uncomfortable?

Su Hyuk should say something when Bo Ra acts like that.

She doesn't seem to consider her husband's paycheck.

She should make him feel comfortable instead of buying him clothes.

I understand where you're coming from,

but you're acting like a mean mother-in-law.

Gosh.

What do you think?

You look good.

You look good in everything.

I wouldn't look this stylish if it weren't for you.

Thank you for the jacket.

I'm glad you like it.

Have a seat.

I'm fine.

I understand how Mother feels.

That's not what I meant.

I met your brother today.

You did?

He came to my office.

What did he say?

He said exactly what you did.

I'm so worried.

He won't give up,

but it's not like Dad will let him have it his way.

Maybe that's why, but I feel so nervous.

About what?

I don't know.

I feel like something bad is going to happen.

Why are you nervous when I'm by your side?

You have to side with me no matter what. Okay?

Nothing will happen.

Don't worry.

What were you talking about?

When did I act like a mean mother-in-law?

You've been like that lately.

You find fault with her and make her feel uncomfortable.

How meaner could it get?

What did you just say?

What's so wrong with buying your husband a jacket?

It looked just nice to me.

You know that Bo Ra is making a lot of effort.

Living with us in this house alone must be hard enough for her.

This isn't like you.

Don't you know why I'm being like this?

It's all because of you.

What about me?

Su Hyuk is so insensitive when his sister is living like this.

Acting like this makes me feel even more miserable.

I'm disappointed in you.

I thought you would be the coolest mother-in-law in the world.

Reflect on yourself when you go to bed.

What did you just say?

Woo Ri, come on. Let's go and wash up together.

Okay, Mom.

Let's go. Let's run away from her.

Okay.

Goodness.

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

I felt so bad for Chairman Jin.

After you left, he asked me to take him to the hospital.

Gosh. That old man.

I always thought he was scary.

But at that moment, he only looked like a weak, old man.

He'll give in soon.

Did Mr. Yoon call you?

Yes, he did. He said Ms. Heo had taken the bait.

Hello, Mr. Park.

Officer Moo, I got a call from Mr. Cha who is staking out,

but I have to take my kid to the hospital right now.

Where is he now?
