(Episode 8)

The man you're nice to and take care of, can't it just be me?

You really don't get it, do you?

I'm confessing my feelings right now.

Just look at me.

I think I like you, Gyu Rim.

Now do you get it?

If I get selfish, I might hold on to you and never let go.

So,

unless you want to sink into the muck with me,

count yourself lucky and run.

No.

I'm not running.

Muck or anywhere else,

I'll go wherever you are,

so don't think about running.

Gyu Rim,

may I hold you?

Why would we ever break up?

That won't happen as long as you don't leave.

All right.

I spent all day thinking you'd want to end it...

You didn't answer your phone,

you didn't come to work,

I went to your place thinking you were sick,

and Gyu Min said you'd gone to work.

I thought something had really happened,

and I was on edge all day...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

Do you know how scared I was?

Mu Jin.

Why are you acting like a child? People are watching.

I'm sorry.

- Gyu Rim. - Yes?

I met Mu Jin with Gyu Min.

I heard you told him you were married.

Gyu Seo, I'll handle it myself,

So I told him that wasn't true.

I corrected it and said you never married.

So stop shutting him out and running away.

He still seems to like you a lot.

If you feel the same, you can start over.

All this time,

I've been truly sorry.

I won't bother you again.

For as long as we live,

let's never see each other again.

About the offer you made last time, is it still valid?

If you're still hiring, I'd like to take the job.

As soon as possible.

Something came up.

Yes. Just let me know when the paperwork is ready.

Thank you.

Yes, I'll wash up and come back.

Almost done.

Honey.

But I'm suddenly craving something spicy.

Really spicy.

Yes.

- You're here. - Yes. Keep going.

- Is that even a workout? - Sorry?

I did all my running earlier.

Right, of course.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me. Gyeol!

His name is Han Gyeol. He's in the first grade...

- Mom. - Gyeol!

Let me look at you.

Are you all right? Are you hurt? I heard there was an accident.

I'm fine. Not a scratch.

Mom.

It's just the tension leaving me.

I must have been terrified, thinking you were hurt.

As long as you're all right, that's all that matters.

But Heung Sik got badly hurt.

Who?

Cho Heung Sik.

He got hurt because of me.

He shielded me like this.

Gyu Rim.

I'm all right.

It looks bad, but it's nothing serious.

They said it's only a hairline fracture.

It's not just a hairline fracture.

If you strain it even a little,

it could snap clean through.

There's nothing to worry about.

It's really nothing.

It's very much something.

Frankly, if you break or injure it now,

you're not at an age where it heals easily anymore.

It can't hurt to be careful, can it?

That nurse does exaggerate.

Making people worry for nothing...

This doesn't hurt at all...

It doesn't hurt.

It's fine.

How did this happen?

I was passing by and Gyeol was there,

And it just happened that way.

How is my mom supposed to understand when you put it like that?

I was waiting for Ji Ung in front of the doughnut shop,

and the shop's sign fell.

I almost got hurt,

but Heung Sik jumped in and saved me.

Heung Sik.

I'm sorry, Heung Sik.

Thanks to you, I wasn't hurt at all.

It's all right.

I truly don't know what to say.

I'm so terribly sorry and so terribly grateful.

How am I ever going to repay you?

What a sight.

What am I to do with you?

You already get called every name, a freeloader and a moocher,

and now look at the state of you.

Are you all right?

Su Nam.

Park Su Nam.

What are you two doing here?

Gyeol, didn't you have school?

Heung Sik got hurt because of Gyeol.

What? What did Gyeol do?

A sign fell, and I almost got hurt,

but he saved me.

I'm truly sorry.

So you're telling me,

Gyeol was about to get hurt,

and Heung Sik stepped in,

and ended up like this.

Is that it?

I'm truly sorry.

He did well.

He did exactly what he should have.

I asked the doctor,

and he said it isn't broken, just a hairline fracture.

You're getting on in years too,

so your bones won't knit together,

and heal as fast as they used to,

but still, you did well.

- That hurts. - Goodness.

Su Nam.

How do I put it...

Seeing a son who's nearly forty,

wrapped up in bandages like this isn't a pretty sight,

but it's a hundred times better,

than an eight-year-old in his place. Isn't it?

Look at the state of you.

I may be smiling, but I'm not, you fool.

I'm all right.

A young man with stamina this pathetic.

Hurry and wash up. Let's have a meal together.

- A meal? - Yes. It's been a while.

I don't have an appetite yet.

Since when do you eat by appetite? You eat when it's mealtime.

- Let's have a meal for once. - Yes.

Can you still not handle spicy food?

Never mind. Hurry up and come out.

Yes.

Han Gyu Rim.

She's the woman Mu Jin was with.

About my age, I think.

She doesn't compare to Seo Hyeon at all.

Of all people, how could he pick someone so far beneath him...

He's lost his mind.

She's from a dirt-poor family, single father,

siblings one after another, and she never even went to college.

Who knows what she was up to,

but she couldn't even get into college when just about anyone can.

- Honey. We're here. - Yes.

Stop scowling.

- What, are you not happy to be here? - No.

So the guest you mentioned was Mu Jin?

- Yes. - Have you been well?

Yes. It's been a long time.

Where's Seo Hyeon?

She worked late and fell asleep this morning. She said not to wake her.

Did she? Just as well.

That smells good.

The smell is carrying all the way here.

Shall I have a taste?

Did my husband drag you here?

Not at all.

Well, you're here, so enjoy the dinner.

- It's nothing special. - Yes.

This is spicy.

What are you doing?

Where's Mu Jin?

- He went to wash his hands. - Did he?

- Honey. - What?

If you dump in this much chili powder and fresh chilies,

how is anyone supposed to eat it?

It smells so spicy.

Honey, do we have Vietnamese chilies instead of these?

Isn't Mu Jin bad with spicy food?

Bad with it, my foot.

When he's served, he says thank you and eats it.

If he doesn't, I'll pry his mouth open and shovel it in myself.

Honey.

It's because I'm furious with him.

I won't feel settled until I see him crying and running at the nose.

Goodness!

Did you bring Mu Jin here just to torment him?

- Have you lost your mind? - Why?

How could you put in so many chilies?

- Don't take them out. - Honey, please.

I said it's fine, so leave them in.

- This isn't right. - It is.

Compared to the tears Seo Hyeon shed because of him, this is nothing.

It isn't that spicy.

It's fine. Don't take them out.

Honestly!

Leave them. It's fine.

It's fine.

The color looks bad, but it isn't spicy.

It's just got a bit of a kick.

And to get on in the world,

you have to eat whatever you're given, spicy food included.

You're a chef, aren't you?

Mu Jin, there are plenty of other dishes. Have these instead.

What are you doing?

- Honey. - Eat. Someone made this just for you.

What has gotten into you?

What have I done?

It looks delicious. Thank you for the meal.

- Yes, go on. - Yes.

- Thank you for the meal. - Yes, eat up.

I'll get you some milk.

Milk? He's not a child. Right, Mu Jin?

- You don't need milk, do you? - I don't need milk.

- Right. - It's perfectly edible.

- Yes, it's fine. Eat up. - Honestly...

- It's delicious. - Yes. Have plenty.

Spicy, isn't it? Unbearably spicy?

You do realize I'm punishing you right now, don't you?

Yes. I'm aware.

Good that you know. Then clear this plate. Understood?

If I had my way,

I'd feed you a whole truckload,

and it still wouldn't settle the tears and the pain Seo Hyeon went through.

Eat it all.

Honey. What has gotten into you?

I'm sorry.

Here. Stop eating and drink this.

No. I'm fine.

So stubborn...

Honestly...

Mu Jin, when did you get here?

- Hello. - Seo Hyeon.

Did you wake up?

What are you eating?

Why are you eating something that spicy?

You can't handle spicy food at all.

It's fine.

- It's good. - Seo Hyeon, leave him.

- I'm punishing him. - Dad!

Mu Jin, don't eat it. Stop.

No, it's fine. It's perfectly edible.

It looks spicy. Stop eating.

- Hand it over, now! - No! Don't eat it!

Seo Hyeon, give it to me!

Mom, why didn't you stop him?

Seo Hyeon.

Seo Hyeon, quickly.

No. The squid!

Seo Hyeon is allergic to squid!

Seo Hyeon, spit it out!

- Seo Hyeon! - Don't eat it!

- Are you all right? - Spit it out!

Seo Hyeon.

- Seo Hyeon! - Seo Hyeon.

- Spit it out, now! - My phone!

We need to call 911!

Seo Hyeon, breathe. Spit it out!

- I'll call 911. - Spit it out!

Seo Hyeon, breathe.

- What do we do, honey? - Where's the phone?

- Seo Hyeon! - Seo Hyeon, breathe!

We're at the hospital. It'll be fine.

What do we do, honey?

Are you sure you're all right to be discharged?

You should stay a few days, at least.

Why would I be admitted over this?

Even the doctor says I'm fine and told me to go home.

What is this? Something in my eye?

- Are you all right? - Yes.

Heung Sik. Look at me.

Look at me.

Better now?

Heung Sik, breathe.

That's better.

If anything is uncomfortable, tell me. Anything at all.

Nothing is uncomfortable.

Su Nam went down to Jindo a while ago.

She says her friend may not make it.

Right. She did say Bok Dal was on her last days...

She asked me to look after you before she left.

She said I should take responsibility and take good care of you.

My mom, honestly. I'm not a child.

So I told her I'd take responsibility and not to worry.

You shouldn't throw around the word responsibility with my mom.

She's getting more shameless these days. What if she holds you to it for good?

Then I'll take responsibility.

Don't joke about that either.

Does it sound like a joke?

It isn't a joke?

It isn't a joke.

Are you in your right mind?

Don't get carried away just because I saved Gyeol.

Get a grip.

Sir.

What is it?

You weren't answering your phone...

Your wife is looking for you.

I nearly killed my own daughter, didn't I?

She's past the dangerous stage,

and they say we can relax now, so please don't worry too much.

How can I call myself a father and know so little about my daughter?

I knew Seo Hyeon liked you,

but I never knew she'd throw her life into it.

I'm sorry.

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

You don't budge an inch,

Seo Hyeon suffers alone in silence,

and then she says she's emigrating, and it keeps making my blood boil.

No.

I'm the one who's sorry. And ashamed.

If I were you, I wouldn't have stopped there.

A man who isn't even remarkable, putting my precious daughter through that,

I'd have beaten him half to death.

I'm sorry, sir.

What are you sorry for, you fool?

I'm sorry.

Has Yun Hui calmed down?

She seems much better than before.

I think I caused quite a mess.

Sir, please stop getting so worked up.

How am I supposed to stay calm?

What did you tell me during my consultation?

What did you tell me when I came in for it?

You said one peel would leave me smooth as a peeled egg.

The peeled egg was your own phrasing,

If you drink every day, smoke, and go surfing abroad,

- neglecting your aftercare... - Enough,

apologize right now and refund my money.

You little con artist.

Did you just call me a con artist?

Have you been drinking, sir?

What?

I'm not a con artist. I'm a doctor.

Apologize while I'm still asking nicely.

Do you know whose son I am?

Didn't the director tell you?

One word from my parents and someone like you,

is out on the street. Understand?

I've held my tongue long enough,

you ugly little punk!

If you want an apology so badly,

go get one from the parents who gave you that skin,

and if you want to be a peeled egg, get yourself born again!

Did your mother really celebrate having a son like you?

What, did she throw a party for you?

(Doctor Han Gyu Yeong)

(Han Gyu O)

Honestly.

Why do you keep calling?

If I don't answer, assume I'm busy and leave it.

Are you going to keep at it until I pick up?

Gyu Yeong, why aren't you keeping your promise?

No matter how busy you are,

you couldn't spare the time to say two words? "I'm sorry?"

Apologize to your sister properly,

bow your head, and go back home.

If you don't keep your promise,

I won't be keeping my mouth shut, so act accordingly.

What is this?

Has everyone joined forces to devour me today?

- She hung up. Take the phone. - Yes.

Do you have something on Han Gyu Yeong?

What is it?

Shouldn't you be at work? Is it okay for you to be here with me?

It's fine. I took a week off.

Just treat me like a servant and put me to work.

I'm just causing trouble for everyone.

Don't give me that.

Heung Sik, you saved Gyeol,

and by saving Gyeol, you saved Gyu Rim.

And by saving Gyu Rim, you saved me too.

You saved my whole family.

Don't make a fuss over nothing. Go to the kitchen and get me water.

Yes.

So what do you have on Han Gyu Yeong?

Can't you share it with me?

- Public urination? - Hurry up and bring it!

- I'm dying of thirst. - Tell me when I bring it.

You really got fired?

They said he was an assemblyman's son and asked me to take extra care of him,

- but I never heard any of it. - Well done.

Calling a doctor a con artist, honestly.

We may not have money, but we have pride.

I want power so badly.

I want to die, struck by a pile of money.

It's better this way, honestly.

You always found that job so hard.

My team leader has been asking to meet you, actually.

- Your team leader? - I told you before, remember?

The task force got put together thanks to the idea you gave us.

Since you're this involved already, come and help us out.

You should say something before you come out.

Should I announce "Gyeol is coming out" at the door?

So where are you off to?

There's a new puppy at U Ram's house, so I'm going to see it.

Who's home? Is your mother back?

No. Only Grandfather.

I'm off.

Han Gyeol.

Listen carefully. Two words.

"I'm sorry."

Tell your mother I said that,

and your mother tells Heung Sik that I apologized.

A bit complicated? Shall I explain it again? So...

Why are you making a child do that?

Let go.

Shouldn't you apologize yourself?

You lot are dim and don't even stay for evening study?

No wonder your grades are what they are.

You've moved back in?

What business is it of yours?

It's my house too.

Gyeol, go inside.

I was on my way out.

Were you? Off you go, then.

- Fighting again? - We won't fight.

I put in at least 50,000 dollars when we got this place.

You lot live here without paying a cent,

but I have a claim of at least 50,000 dollars on this house.

Fifty thousand, my foot.

Gyeol is right there. Watch your mouth.

I'm off to U Ram's, so say what you want now, Gyu Min.

I'm off.

So you two have joined forces?

Fine. I'm the wicked stepsister. I'm the evil one.

I'm sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

What's this apology out of nowhere?

What are you sorry for?

You're the most annoying one today.

That my mother and our father had an affair,

and your mother was divorced and thrown out,

and then, not even three years later,

My mother ran off with the accounting manager, taking all we had.

and this family fell apart. I'm sorry for all of it.

Why are you apologizing for that?

That woman is the one at fault.

If anyone should apologize, it's her.

Why should you?

Lower your voice, Han Gyu Min.

Why apologize for something that isn't your fault?

This is so annoying.

Go on, say it louder.

Shout and fight some more, so the whole neighborhood knows.

Honestly, every one of them is shabby and second-rate.

I need to marry fast and escape this wretched house.

Why are you crying?

Let's go get ice cream. My treat.

- Come on, let's go. - No.

(500,000 dollars)

Heavens above. Money is my enemy.

Pour a fortune down upon this poor little lamb.

I don't mind dying struck by it,

so please, just once,

Just once, give me the chance.

Praise be to Buddha.

Hallelujah.

Landmines everywhere.

Dad.

Han Seok Jung.

Can you see me?

I hear I died a few years ago.

Can you see ghosts?

How childish.

There's something I need you to do, Dad.

- Do I look like your father? - Honestly.

If this lottery ticket ever wins,

I won't give you a single cent.

Let's find Han Gyu Rim a husband.

What?

I don't mean marry her off right away.

I mean, we tell people Gyeol's father is back.

There's no need to tell the whole town.

We just need to fool Heung Sik and Su Nam.

And who is Gyeol's father?

How should I know?

Did you quit being a doctor to become a con artist?

- Won't you cooperate? - I won't.

If you're going to lie, make it convincing.

That's the only way Heung Sik gives up and backs off.

Then he'll leave Gyu Rim alone and stay out of my business.

Or rather, in this family's business.

You don't like Heung Sik either, Dad.

Not a winner.

I've decided to settle down and live decently, so leave me alone.

Actually,

I'll tell my in-laws that you're alive again.

Am I some kind of miracle?

Have I risen from the dead?

At my wedding,

please come, Dad.

Gyu Yeong.

Now that I think about it,

I really do need you.

Please save me.

Gyu Yeong, why are you crying?

Why would the great Han Gyu Yeong...

And I'm weak to tears.

Don't cry, sweetheart.

All right, so what should I do for you?

Cooperate.

- Cooperate? - Yes.

You'll do it, won't you?

I'll have to think about it.

Don't cry, sweetheart.

Don't cry. All right.

Where's Heung Sik?

I was washing his face. All done.

- What's all this? - Food for you and Heung Sik.

Hungry? I'll get the table ready.

- Take this. - Yes.

Heung Sik, I'm here.

What are you doing here?

You're dripping.

How did he wash your face?

Breathe.

There.

Gyu Rim, can I go out for a bit?

- Where? - Where?

I forgot something I have to give a friend today. Two hours is enough.

- You can't. - Go ahead.

You're leaving me alone with your sister,

for two whole hours? Absolutely not.

You can't.

You really can't.

Let's eat, Heung Sik.

Hey.

There's a seat over there. Why sit next to me?

To feed you.

Am I a baby?

You can't use your hands. Right now you're exactly like one.

Never mind. I'll eat when Gyu O gets back.

How can you wait until Gyu O returns?

After all the effort I put in.

The rice and soup will go cold.

All right.

Here.

Give me the rice.

I can eat on my own.

Here.

You said you liked anchovy wraps,

so I went to the market and bought some.

Doesn't it look delicious?

Let's see what we've got.

Anchovies in,

and rice with it.

Just leave it there. I can do it myself.

How could I just leave it there?

Come on, open up.

I'm not eating a wrap you made.

Just leave it on the table.

I washed my hands well, Heung Sik.

What if I eat this,

and have a heart attack? Will you take responsibility?

Yes. I will.

You're driving me crazy.

I told you not to say you'd take responsibility.

If my mom hears you,

she'll make you put it in writing and hold you to it forever!

You know what,

I think I should be by Seo Hyeon's side.

Turn the car around.

No, honey. I'll stay with her.

Jeong Woo, turn around.

Shall we?

We only just managed to sort it out...

Are you two really doing this?

Sorry to be blunt,

but when Seo Hyeon wakes up,

would she rather see you two, or Mu Jin?

What kind of nonsense is that?

We need to be right there when she wakes up,

so she'll feel safe with us.

Who is Mu Jin? He's an outsider.

And not just any outsider,

he's an awful man.

You know he isn't himself right now. Filter what he says.

Today was entirely your fault.

You said you'd made peace with Mu Jin, so why start again?

I was fine until earlier. I don't know.

Just hearing Mu Jin's name makes the anger rise up in me.

He deserves worse than a beating.

Shall I slip some poison into that man's food?

Why are you joining in too?

Hey,

what if Mu Jin does something to Seo Hyeon to get revenge?

Honey.

This won't do, Jeong Woo. Don't listen.

He gets like a child whenever it's about Seo Hyeon.

That's why I don't want a daughter.

Please give Mu Jin one more chance.

You have to give him that much,

so he can reflect more deeply and settle his debts.

Yes, I'm making ox knee soup right now.

I'll drop it off on my way to work.

All right.

- Is Heung Sik all right? - Yes, he's fine.

Yes. See you later, Gyu O.

All right.

That freeloader has found me out.

So now he's blackmailing me.

If I don't do as he says, he'll tell Seong Uk everything.

What are you going to do?

What will you do if that freeloader wrecks my marriage?

- Have you seen him freeload? - What?

Why do you keep calling him that?

Do you want to be sued for defamation?

Are you taking that freeloader's side?

There it is again.

Say it one more time.

Why? Are you going to hit me with that?

You'd hit me for calling him a freeloader?

Have you lost your mind?

For calling him a freeloader...

Don't talk about Heung Sik that way.

Call him that one more time,

and I'll go wreck your marriage myself.

You and that freeloader...

What's going on with Cho Heung Sik?

So what? What business is it of yours?

- Are you dating? - Yes, we are.

Since when?

- Since now. - What?

This won't do.

You're awake?

Let's sit you up.

One moment.

Isn't it uncomfortable?

Shall I get you another cushion?

- Some water. - Yes.

Why did you do it?

All I could think was that I had to stop you.

I forgot about the squid allergy.

That's not something you forget.

You could have died.

I didn't, did I?

Don't you think about your parents?

Do you know how worried your father and mother were?

Dad started it.

He fed you spicy food on purpose,

to get back at you. He started it.

You...

Am I all you can see?

Is there no room in your head for your parents,

nothing but Kim Mu Jin?

You're thinking I'm pathetic, aren't you?

I'm not the only strange one.

Some people went mad with love and betrayed their own country.

- Seo Hyeon. - So rather than this,

hurry up and work things out with Han Gyu Rim,

and marry her as fast as you can.

She isn't married anyway, is she?

So that I can't hold on to any hope,

so there's not a single gap left for me to aim at,

just go and do something about it.

His name is Han Gyeol.

Byeolha Elementary School, first grade, class two.

His mother is Han Gyu Rim, unmarried.

Excellent grades, bright, and gifted in the arts and sports too.

When did you get all of this...

Did you have Secretary Ahn look into it?

You find out the rest yourself.

- So what will you do? - What do you mean?

If this boy really is Mu Jin's son,

what are you going to do?

If he's as bright and promising as Secretary Ahn reports,

we bring him home and raise him properly.

Would Han Gyu Rim hand him over that easily?

Whether she hands him over or not isn't hers to decide.

It's mine.

Are you going to the noodle place?

You said you wouldn't go for a while.

I go when I feel like eating.

What if you run into him?

That's why I'm going when there's no one there.

It isn't as if he works there.

What are the odds of meeting him again?

I'm sorry. Are you all right?

What do I do?

Are you hurt?

Does this look all right to you?

What about my shoes?

What are you going to do about this?

- I'll compensate you. - Compensate?

Sweetheart, what's going on?

- Are you hurt? - Baby, it hurts to walk.

This woman stepped on my shoe,

and the whole thing came off.

I said I'd compensate you for it.

Do you think this is something they sell at a market stall?

My boyfriend bought this for me on a business trip to Italy.

Someone like you is in no position to compensate for it.

That's why I said I would. How much is it?

Who are you speaking to like that?

- You spoke to me that way first. - When?

I may look young, but I'm older than you.

Watch your mouth.

If you can't afford it, stay at home where you belong.

So what if you're older? Is that a title?

Yes, it is.

And what is this now?

Watching youngsters behave so rudely,

I can't sit quietly and eat my noodles.

- Who are you? - I just told you.

I was the guy eating noodles over there.

One moment.

How much should I pay you?

- Give me your account number. - Hand it over.

- Honestly. - This man has lost his mind.

Fifty dollars.

Fifty dollars at the very most should cover it.

Shall I lend it to you?

- Hey! - Sir!

Making all this fuss over a knockoff?

Sir.

Look at you, scrawny as an anchovy.

What would someone like you know about designer goods?

I know. I used to make and sell these, so I can spot one a mile off.

Shall I tell you that the bag she's holding is a knockoff too?

Baby, what does he mean? Is this a fake?

This lunatic! Will you be quiet?

Who do you think you are, butting in and talking about designer goods?

Sir, please call the police.

What are you staring at?

- About 40 dollars should do it. - Ridiculous. Be quiet!

- Let go. - Stay out of it.

Goodbye.

(Danimgil Noodles)

Are you all right?

So it really was a knockoff.

You didn't know it was fake?

How would I know that?

I just said it to save you,

and he walked right into it.

It must have been hard facing them one on one.

Well, it's over safely. That's what matters.

This has gone cold. Order yourself a fresh one.

It's all right.

- Shall I order for you? - No, it's fine.

(Kwon Hui Na)

Guys, is anything missing,

- or left behind? - No.

Let's check once more before we leave the classroom.

Notebook, water bottle, hat.

(That gigolo)

Call one more time and I'm reporting you to the police.

The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please leave a message after the tone.

Charges will apply.

Kwon Hui Na, it's Han Gyu O.

Did you know this number was mine? Is that why you won't answer?

Do you dislike me that much?

Even if you do, see me just once.

Just once, let's meet.

No messing about or shouting when we cross the main road.

Yes.

Even on a green light, you check for cars and motorbikes. Understood?

Yes.

(That gigolo)

(You have a new voice message.)

Why is this bird leaving voice messages?

Sorry, guys. A bird suddenly flew by.

There goes a bird.

What kind of bird is it?

Yes, Gyu Rim. I'm at Gyeol's school.

I just got here.

Heung Sik's friend came to look after him for a bit.

That's my uncle.

- Gyeol's uncle is here? - Yes.

Today I have a dentist appointment,

but Su Nam is away, so my mom is busy.

So my uncle said he'd come instead.

I see. I should go and say hello.

All right. I'll get him there safely. Please don't worry.

Yes.

All right.

Gyeol's out. I'll hang up.

How is it? Any better?

No, it stings.

Something must have got in your eye.

Shall we put in some drops and go to the nurse?

Ms. Hui Na, take Jin Ju to the nurse.

I'll take them across.

- Could you do that? - Yes.

The light has changed.

I'm going now. Come on, everyone.

Yes. Cross carefully.

Ms. Hui Na, it hurts.

What do we do?

This is my uncle.

Hello.

Hello.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

- Is that your teacher? - Yes.

- What's her name? - Why?

No reason. She seems familiar.

What does familiar mean?

She looks like someone I know.

Someone you know? Who does she look like?

Sorry, I shouldn't have asked. Let's go.

My teacher's name...

I'm not telling you.

Why not?

My teacher is exactly your type.

But I don't want you to like my teacher.

Why not?

Because you're my uncle and she's my teacher.

You don't want school and family getting tangled up?

I understand what you're saying. Don't worry.

It won't happen.

There's someone else I like.

Hold my hand. Let's go.

Dad.

What brings you here?

Isn't this your shop?

I locked up and left.

How?

Su Nam is back.

- Gyu Rim. - Yes?

I want you to meet the finest man in the world.

That's all it is.

Nobody put me up to it.

What do you mean, out of nowhere?

Yes. All right.

- Did the trip go all right? - Yes.

Did your friend pass away?

She's all right.

That's why I came back like this.

Then why are you crying, Su Nam?

That friend of mine,

even as she struggled to breathe,

she kept saying she had to see,

at least one of her three sons married,

clinging to her senses for dear life,

it really hit close to home.

So on the way up from Jindo,

I made up my mind to hold on to you,

and beg you if I had to.

Heung Sik isn't well educated,

and he isn't especially gifted either,

but he's kind and steady,

and above all, he cherishes and loves you and Gyeol more than anything.

So I was going to ask you to give Heung Sik a chance.

What did my father say to you?

He told me to step aside.

He said Gyeol's father had come back,

and that you'd be working things out with him,

so Heung Sik should step aside.

What?

Then stepping aside is the right thing.

What can I do if Gyeol's father is back?

Heung Sik should step aside a hundred times over.

I don't know why these pointless tears,

keep coming, I really don't.

Could we talk for a moment?

I'd rather you stopped coming to see Seo Hyeon.

Sorry?

What happened yesterday wasn't your fault, Mu Jin.

I mean you don't have to come out of guilt or obligation.

That isn't why I come.

Then why?

It may be nothing more than kindness and warmth to you,

but when Seo Hyeon sees you come,

she can't help but hope.

She's fooled and disappointed and mistaken every time,

and she keeps holding on to futile hope.

Let's stop now.

You shouldn't do this, at least for Seo Hyeon's sake.

Let's end it here, Mu Jin.

I'm asking you.

Don't wait for Mu Jin.

He won't be coming anymore.

Mom.

You were the one ready to emigrate over this.

Let it go now.

Mu Jin isn't the one for you.

Mu Jin.

Mu Jin.

Let me take over, ma'am.

I won't disappoint, hurt, or confuse Seo Hyeon anymore.

Mu Jin.

So from now on, let's date each other properly.

Are you proposing to me right now?

Yes. I'm proposing to you right now.

Have you lost your mind? Did you eat something bad?

Are you drunk?

Because you know my whole story.

You know exactly how second-rate and lacking I am.

You know all of it.

If you're truly all right with someone like me,

let's see each other seriously.

Not as friends, but as a man and a woman.

Let's see each other properly, Seo Hyeon.

(Love on the Menu)

This man is my boyfriend.

I heard you two are dating?

You ended things properly with Han Gyu Rim, didn't you?

May I date Gyu Rim?

Whether you might start over with Gyu Rim.

When did I ever start anything with Gyu Rim?

Are you waiting on a call?

I left a voice message and I think it was ignored.

Gyu O, is the girl you're after Kwon Hui Na?

Where are you now?

Gyu Yeong, let's prepare one more crocodile bag.

How large a credit line could I get, by any chance?

No. Once I'm married, I can pay it right back.

My in-laws are seriously rich.

I'm going to have to stop your wedding.
