It's a son

I have a new product.

That's the right amount right?

- Count it if you'd like.

It's probably right.

Bye.

Sol, it's been a while! Four of these and that one, please wrap those up for me.

Hello

Hello

you're working hard.

I wanted each letter to be perfect.

We don't have much time until opening.

Ahjusshi, please do this over.

Yes I will do it over.

Thank you.

Hello, Oh Daesan of "Total Fashion Doryunnim" speaking.

Sky of Masan?

Where?

I already paid for that.

I'll send it through the dawn shipment, so just be prepared to play till you drop.

Of course. It's a waste of time to repeat myself.

It's amazing, just amazing. It's the best!

Of course. I'll talk to you later then.

Success!

What the...?

Closed at this hour?

Did this guy drink too much again yesterday?

Hello. This is Oh Daesan of "Total Fashion Doryunnim" speaking.

What?

Yoojin. Yoojin... What should we do? Yoojin.

Yoojin...

Daesan.

Daesan... What are we going to do...?

Mom!

- Mom! - Madam!

- Ahjumma! Yoojin's mom! - Mom, wake up!

Madam! Madam!

- Madam! - Wake up!

Hurry! Move!

- Move! - We have to take her to the emergency room!

What a poor man... He took such good care of his wife and daughter.

Anyways, what will happen to her if someting bad happens to her mother?

I heard she was studying at a designing school in France.

Studying will have to fit around her situation, not just her wishes.

What is going to happen to her store?

They'll just have to sell it off.

Young Master!

Joonhee, Young Master.

If you had just arrived a bit earlier...

where is my car?

It's ready, but it might be better if you were to go in a different car.

Young Master.

At least change your clothes.

Mom, I just arrived.

No, I'm a bit tired so I'm going home.

I'll visit my old teacher at elegance in a few days.

I'll see you at home.

What the...?

We should get going now.

Grandma, we should go.

The road is very rough, grandma.

Alright.

Thanks.

Do you call yourself human? How can you miss your own father's death?

You didn't purposely call me late?

What are you saying?!

Once is enough.

You're not the only one that's sad.

Did you forget that I'm an orphan now?

You little...

May I begin?

Then I will now reveal the will of the deceased Lee Kangil.

First, I just want to let you know that the deceased edited and signed the will the day before his death with me.

Thus, it is different from the will from last year.

For time's sake, I'll just read the inheritance part which was changed.

First, 80% of Sopia Apparel's stocks will be split evenly between the oldest son, Lee Jaemin and the youngest son, Lee Joonhee.

The remaining 20% will be given to my mother, Khang Juok.

Second, the mansion at Seongbuk will be given to my wife, Oh Sunyoung.

The house and land at Icheon will also be given to my mother, Khang Juok.

Third, the remaining lands will be distributed evenly to the three rehabilitation centers that I have been supporting.

Fourth, inherited stocks cannot be transferred or be sold to a third party for five years. However, it can be transferred and be sold among family members.

That's all.

It seems like we're finished, so I'll just take a shower and rest a bit. I still need to recover from the jet lag.

Show me the back too, please.

Man...

I just can't seem to pick one, since I've never picked out women's clothing before.

You can't take pictures.

I just want to ask my girlfriend about it.

Hang on.

Oh, my pretty.

Did you see the picture I sent you?

Did you like it?

Really...?

Oh well...

Okay.

She doesn't really like it.

What should I do?

I can just delete the picture right? Deleted.

Yes.

It seems great to me, but women are so picky.

You are pretty too.

Please come again.

My pretty? It's me.

Velvet, it's me, Oh Daesan.

Yeah, you got my picture right?

Of course you are the pretty one, who would it be?

Have I ever gotten in trouble before?

Anyways, that picture is a newly released product so print out a good copy for me.

Ten copies in color, okay.

It looks better than I had imagined.

However the risks are still high, so she should stay in the hospital and receive treatment.

Okay.

Hey, Wake up! You should be selling, not sleeping.

- Hyung, do you have anything new? - Yeah, that one is good.

Miss, how much is this?

I'm the owner of "Little Bear" shop in Incheon. You can ship these to my shop in four days, right? Do you think you can have them deliver to me quickly?

huh?

I... You see...

Nevermind. I'm going to die from waiting.

Noona, wait.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

You've never heard of us have you? We're "Eastern", thirty year veterans of the Great East Gate. "Eastern". Choose, choose!

Are you the owner?

She just doesn't seem to understand...

She's a new worker. hasn't been here too long and is a bit slow. Don't worry sbout her. Choose, choose!

Then, start by giving me ten of Carvillu, small and medium for the sizes.

Okay, my noona, who is pretty and knows how to spend, I like how you work! I'll throw an extra one in.

That man...

He's not the owner of this store.

If you buy from him, I can't guarantee returns, so do what you like.

What kind of business is this?

Noona!

Just kick me... Do you want to close the store down?

And, how does a salesperson's dauhter not know sales terms?

You could have just sat still, why did you have to interrupt?

I was just trying to help you out.

Who are you?

I've been buying from Mr Seo for a few years. I'm Oh Daesan of "Doryunnim".

You don't remember? I carried your mother from the funeral home.

so?

It looked like you were a bit lost, so I thought I would help you, considering the owner and the store.

Liar.

Huh?

Then you could have just helped, why did you have to go acting like you're the owner?

That's just a technique, not lying.

You were failing as a salesperson so I stepped in.

Do you think running a store is a game?

From now on, I'm the owner of "Eastern", Soe Yoojin.

So don't use that kind of technique ever again.

How humiliating...

First, let's sell the leftover stock, since we need to save the store.

You're here.

Yeah.

Are you here to stay?

I can't just leave the office empty forever.

Someone needs to sit in that room.

you might hurt yourself again.

Dr Song even told you to rest.

If I'm going to fall, I'll fall in the office.

A will for business.

How great is that?

The shareholders will also be happier.

Where is Joonhee?

You should know.

we found him a place to stay in the city.

One that doesn't come and one that doesn't bother to stop him.

Jaemin!

Hey, Jaemin!

Did you know grandmother was going to start working again?

I had a feeling she would.

She has enough will power and responsibility.

His been saying you were going to be the inheritor, what kind of situation is this?

If I suddenly take over fathers place, the shareholders are not going to trust me.

Grandmother probably has a plan.

It's because og Joonhee.

With Lee Kangil dead, you and I have no blood relation in this family.

Mom.

I worked so hard.

It's got to the point where Sopia Apparel can't run smoothly without me.

Joonhee doesn't even care about running the business, what are you so worried about?

Please go downstairs.

Why you... Make certain you do it right.

It was my family that brought the business upp from failing.

They accepted you as a son? I took in Joonhee and cared for him.

You and I, we have no more debts from this family, do you understand?

yes I understand.

I have to prepare for the designers' metting. Go and rest.

- Jaemin, Jaemin...

- Go rest mother.

It's pretty organized even though the head of the company was missing.

Lee Jaemin organized it every day. You know, he's just like the president in his work habits.

Show them that even with a new president, Sopia Apparel is fine.

oh I have something to say to Ahn Seukhwan, so please leave the room.

Huh? Oh okay.

Is it true Jaemin's mother's family is secretly buying our stocks?

Yes, I'm sorry.

They're just planning to take it all aren't they?

It seems as if we need to get Joonhee to take over.

Check up on Joonhee's conditions from his caretaker in Paris.

Yes Ma'am.

Weakling... he had to take after his mother.

Nevermind that one.

Do you have something you are looking for?

I'm looking for something I can wear comfortable, but there isn't one that I really like.

There doesn't seem to be one that will look good on you either, how about you try another store?

what?

Don't risk damaging the clothes while you just browse, and just go to another place.

I think they're having a sale at the natioanl department store downstairs.

you're telling me that you want me out of here because my standards are low?

What are you doing? I told you to keep these kinds of people out of the entrance.

Please show him out before another customer comes in.

Lady, you must be crazy.

Where are you grabbing? call the security!

- What are you doing to a customer? What's this store's number? - Sir, you left this behind. I was looking all over for you.

This... Isn't...

You must be confused because you bought too many things. Should I just send it to Daegoo with the rest of the things?

Forget it.

I'll just carry this.

Please visit our store again next time.

Sure. I'll do that.

I'll just stick to the stores that I've been going to.

Sir... I think I made a mistake...

Anyways... There isn't much to wear in this place no matter how much I look... Nothing, nothing...

Sir... Sir...

That was close, so unkind.

Anyway... OKay! I got it all.

What is this anyways?

Feels so nice!

So there are people who buy things like this.

Crazy... he must have a ton of money.

This is great!

I'm going to go crazy. Why is this so nice?

These are so my clothes.

The clothes make the person.

Does that even make sense?

I'm right here and you gave my things to who?

I'm so sorry, but she made certain that she checked the face.

But it really was the same. I thought you just took your sunglasses off.

Do you have a twin?

I'm sorry. Since it's our fault, we'll find same clothes and send it to you as soon as possible.

You know that suit is a limited edition right?

There was only one left in korea, but I'll leave that in your hands.

This is a lie right?

Maybe you don't get this.

Your father handed over the store then borrowed money from us.

So don't waste time and hand it over.

Why should I?

Why? Are your ears blocked or something?

This store isn't yours anymore.

Don't touch that!

What are you going to do? Huh?

I said don't touch it!

Are you kidding?

Get in there and do something!

Who are you?

Isn't it embarrassing for a bunch of guys to hit a girl? Let's just stop this.

Okay. Who are you?

Are you her husband?

Do you want to pay for this store's debts?

It's not that...

Wherever we go, there is some idiot trying to interfere.

Hey, don't embarrass yourself and just leave, before I beat you...

That's enough!

I'll just leave you for today, but don't regret today when I come and tear this store apart next time.

I don't have regrets.. I've never looked back on anything in my life.

Just leave. Go!

Let's go.

Yoojin, are you okay?

Daesan!

Stupid perm loser!

Thank you.

Scary, huh?

I'm fine.

There's no reason to be surprised. You see a whole lot of things when you come out to the market.

Do you want some cofee?

It's best to just forget things like this with cofee.

I'll get you the best cofee in Seoul.

Let's go.

How are your legs so weak? How do you expect to work in the market like that?

What kind of cofee is it?

We're almost there, let's go.

Do you see that way over there?

This is where I come when I'm tired or stressed out.

I've never shown this to anyone.

I'm letting you in on this just because the situation has been bad recently.

You're mine!

Even if I die, you will be mine!

You just wait!

Great East Gate, you will be Oh Daesan's! Success!

Try it.

huh?

Say whatever you want.

You keep everything inside yourself, but what would happen if you wanted to let it out and aren't able to?

There's no one to listen anyways. Try it!

I hate you.

Because og you, I'm hurting so much.

Because of you...

Because of you...

How dare you...

Cofee, sugar and cream. Even though it seems the same, it's different here.

After screaming when no one is around, cold hands and sore throat... The cofee tastes different.

That's why I never drink cofee from other places.

You studied in Paris?

Yeah.

What school? Studio Bercot? Or ESMOD?

ESMOD.

You might not believe me, bit I wanted to go study abroad in Paris too.

I barely graduated from High School, so it may not be easy. But I want to go study and succeed in the Great East Gate, things like that.

Don't worry too much. Things like this happen all the time. Shops close down in a blink of an eye.

Honestly, we have to move out of the house too.

There seems to be a lot of debts, and I don't even know how much there is and my mom doesn't know anything.

What am I going to do if "Eastern" is lost too?

I'll help you.

I owe a lot to your father.

He took me in when I left the orphanage and was wandering to markets, fed me, clothed me and gave me jobs.

He saved a kid that was almost dying.

So, I'm going to repay the debt.

thanks for your helpful words.

You may not know, but "Eastern" is a famous store in the Great East Gate.

It's not something you hand over for a little debt.

And I also know of a place that's hiring designers, you might like it.

Do you want to or not?

I don't know if I should be bothering you so much.

Let me see your phone.

Hurry!

If you need any kind of help, don't hesitate to call me.

Since I always called your father "Uncle", just think of me as an older cousin.

You seem younger than me so you can just call me oppa.

Go back to Paris.

Save the store, save money for school, then return to Paris and become an amazing designer.

Then when I go, you can help me out. Okay?

Rock on.

I always wanted to serve you the food I made.

But you didn't wait for me this time either.

Rest in peace.

Ahjushii

Young Master.

What are you doing wasting money out of the house?

Hurry and return to the house in Seongbuk-dong.

You couldn't wait to get me out of the house before. Why?

I've lived alone for ten years. It's uncomfortable to live with others now.

Others?

You have to fill your father's place.

If you lack education, go study. And if you lack the business skills, we can fill them with clever assistants. Know that and give up your life in Paris.

Does Jaemin know?

Why? You don't want to hand the company over to someone of another blood?

I've never been treated as a grandson from you, nor been acknowledged as the inheritor of the company.

It's a bit uncomfortable to be treated this way.

Just take it when it's given to you. Your father did that.

Is that why he was just watching when you took me from him?

Ten years ago, you said to my fater...

"It would have been better if Jaemin was the grandson. If I knew he was going to be weak like this, I would never have taken him."

You probably thought I was sleeping then, but i wanted to die at that moment.

It's a sin for a person who has to take care of 3000 people to be weak. That's why.

Also, if I had left you in your mom's care, do you think she could have afforded your artificial heart valve?

Fater left me a message. He said he told me my mother was dead because he thought I might get hurt, but she is still alive.

So I want to find her and ask her the reason she left me.

when that's done. I'm going to Paris.

Joonhee, I'm sorry to reveal the truth as I leave this earth.

Yo Junghee, she is your real mother.

You may have thought she was dead, but no one knows of her whereabouts.

Life is short, and regrets are never ending, I wonder why I didn't realize that before.

Please seek her forgiveness for your grandmother and me.

There's nothing else that you know about Joonhee's birth mother?

You instructed me to forget the dead. I haven't done any more or any less than you've instructed.

If I think about it, sometimes I wonder if she is really dead.

Because she might return and claim her son, I did it while Kangil was abroad.

Is she was alive, she might have come to Kangil's funeral.

Find out if she is alive or not and let me know.

Yes ma'am.

You can drink now?

It's pretty crowded today. I can handle one or two cups.

Did grandma come to see you`?

Do as she says. It doesn't make sense to follow another career when there is a perfect job at home.

I can always use your help too.

how long has it been since we saw each other?

Four years? Do you even remember my face as you're saying that?

I'm on your side, whatever you do.

I'm not going to stop you even if you're returning to paris. Gran Chef, nice isn't it?

But if you're planning to leave the company, hand over the stocks you received.

And if things work out, I can even pay you for them.

For what? I can just leave it like the will said then sell it in five years, that would be easier.

Do you think you can sell Sopia to another person with your own hands?

Just like father said four years ago, you're the only blood-related inheritor.

Take time and think about it, I'll wait for you.

Clean up at the hotel and come home, don't ruin the mood at the house.

ESMOD, students from France's ESMOD are different. Her sense of fashion is much better.

Well, if you studies designing it shouldn't be too hard. If you can do patterns that's good, and if you can even make the basic shape, I'll multiply your pay.

What did I tell you? Good feel and good skill too. You're lucky too.

And that, it's new product, so if she can copy that it'll sell like mad.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can do it.

What?

Even though I'm not working right now, I'm going to become real designer later. What?

Even though I'm not working right now, I'm going to become real designer later.

I think I'll be furious if someone copies my worrk like this later, so I just can't do it.

Okay. I'm not going to hire a person who doesn't want to work. I was going to help you out because of your situation.

I'm sorry.

Being picky... She isn't really suffering yet.

I guess not.

Hey, hey! Hey!

what's your problem? You said you wanted to run the store and work part time too.

If you want to gather that kind of money, you don't really have a choice.

So you are making me steal?

What? Steal?

For you, copying the design might be nothing, but designers spend days - no, months to comeup with those designs.

Even if I am on the verge of dying of hunger, that's something I should never do.

Acting so elegant...

What?

How about you? You studied with the money your father sent you by doing things like this, didn't you?

That...

You may think the people in the markets are little people that survive on ramen everyday

but there are lives that have to carry on by doing whatever it takes, even if it means stealing.

It's even more embarrassing to act all elegant, then come begging after you lose everything. Do you understand?

One second.

I'm sorry, I must have forgotten to get money from the bank, sorry.

What...

*Job Advert - "Looking for New Designers at Sopia Apparel"*

- Since yours is the only one with bigger size, I'm charging extra. - Oppa!

Is it really original? I haven't really worn much of this, but this seems a bit weird. Isn't this a copy?

Let's stop this. I, Oh Daesan, have lived so far on trust. Your distrust is like cutting me open and tearing out my heart.

What did I do? Oppa, can't I joke a little?

Sign it.

Aeran, this is real.

Done for the day! Be careful not to drink too much and you know to be careful in smoking rooms right?

Of course!

My unnies! Don't forget next week is the last week for sales. Don't forget to cellect all the tips you can! Success!

Success!

Go in, it's cold.

Be careful, bye!

Park Seungjae, you can leave now.

Next person, please enter.

Seo Yoojin

Yes

It says that you won at a designing contest in France. Have you studied abroad?

That...

I thought you weren't going to ask about education.

That's true. A simple certificate isn't really important. But doesn't it make sense that we check your acceptance into the school?

It was at ESMOD in Paris.

You should have said so earlier. Did you graduate this year? Or not yet?

Seo Yoojin.

Actually, I'm on a break.

Then it's the same as not going to the school.

But I'm confident in my love for design.

I hope you consider me not on my education, but my skill.

Thank you. You may leave, we will contact you shortly.

Hold on.

The portfolio you turned in seems very fresh. Was this fifth piece, Rokkoko Avant Grade, the design you won with?

Yes, it is.

Lee Jaemin?

Ahjusshi, that's you right?

Your ahjusshi isn't here at this interview. Please leave.

Ah, okay.

Do you know her?

No, please call in the next person.

That's definitely him.

Welcome.

Who is this? You look nice.

Did you get a good deal?

What are you talking about? These are my normal clothes. Do I look good?

If you were cinderella, the prince would be able to find you instantly. Such small and beautiful feet.

Such a liar.

This is pretty, is it new?

Consider it a gift from your oppa for the newly opened store.

Really?

- Hey, Hey. You heard that I'm opening a new store right? - Yeah.

We're going to fill it up with shiny, new products from Paris. How about it? You won't be just any costumer but a real VIP.

Just look, the clothes are on a whole different level.

Oppa!

Hey!

It's been a while, Daesan.

Yang Madam, it's a bit sad to see you like this.

Oppa. Look, listen to me...

- Hey! - What? What?

- Don't touch my clothes. - Come here!

I didn't know this was your area.

Do you think I would come here if I knew?

Let's go talk outside.

Fine, I've been doing badly recenlty. So I happened to walk in because I've been running around a lot.

Hey, it's not like there's a line here showing that it's your district. Why do we people like you and I need business districts?

It's not like we just met, let's share the wealth. Good boy.

Are you kidding me? You little weasel.

What did you say?

- He went that way. - Which room is it?

You little... Are you messing with me?

You little bastard.

Who are you?

You're so dead.
