Original subtitles

(Episode 59)

I meant to finish early, but it took a while.

It's fine. I think we'll be right on time.

Good.

Dr. Yoon. Didn't you leave yet?

Let's talk.

Right now?

If it's not urgent, let's talk tomorrow.

No, right now.

It must be now.

Can't it wait?

We have a dinner reservation.

Talk to her tomorrow, Dr. Yoon.

Let's go, Na Hee.

Hear me out first...

Na Hee.

Really, Gyu Jin?

I...

Hold on, Jeong Rok.

It'll be brief, right?

Can you wait for me in the parking lot?

I'll be right there.

Sure thing.

I'll be waiting.

What is it? Go ahead.

What did you mean by this?

(Don't get sick. From Na Hee.)

What do you mean?

Was this a friendly gesture as a colleague or...

A colleague, of course.

What else could it be?

Are you sure?

You're being awfully weird.

You didn't even mention receiving the porridge,

but now you're here asking me what it meant.

What...

What game are you playing?

Na Hee, I...

Guys, I see you're still here.

Aren't you heading home?

We were on our way. At least, I was.

We were too. Shall we head out?

- What about you, Dr. Yoon? - In a minute.

We should get going before we hit a lot of traffic.

- Let's go. - Sure.

I'm on my way. I took a cab to rush over.

Right now?

Gosh, I need another 10 minutes.

Anyway, how was your class, Da Shik?

Yes, the class ended,

but we're gathering to choose the class representative.

I'll call you when it's over. Bye.

Gosh.

Da Hee, you klutz.

Oh, no.

Thanks.

(How can this problem be solved?)

It's very colorful.

I see you put in a lot of hard work.

It's my fail-safe, I guess.

I need to make up for my lack of intellect.

Anyway, thanks.

Thank you.

Well, let's start with some nominations.

We'll also accept volunteers.

Who here wants to represent the class?

No one?

Can anyone come forward and take one for the team?

It's more fun than you realize.

- Tae Jin. - What?

I'm too busy with my other major.

Ha Yoon?

I can't either. I'm busy with my tutoring gig.

Then what do we do? I can't do this forever, you know.

Me!

I'll give it a shot.

Well,

is it not ideal because I'm a transfer student?

There's something romantic about a university campus.

Even a walk here elevates your mood.

I'll ask her to take a walk with me after dinner...

like a college couple.

Jae Seok!

Gosh, please don't run.

There's no need. I coming to you.

I wanted to tell you as fast as possible.

I was elected...

as the class representative.

The class representative?

Yes, everyone seemed hesitant, so I volunteered.

It's been a dream of mine, you see.

I wasn't confident enough to volunteer back then,

but I took the leap this time.

I'm proud of you.

Now that you're back,

you should do everything that you wanted to do.

Ji Won, the former representative is awfully considerate.

Young Ah and Young Rye agreed to help too.

My gosh. You're like a different person now.

Class representative though? I would've never expected that.

I'm sorry about this,

but the kids wanted to celebrate over drinks.

Do you want to come with us?

Would it be too uncomfortable?

Don't worry about me and get going, Ms. Representative.

I'm not one of those petty and narrow-minded boyfriends.

Still, you came all the way here to have dinner with me.

I said it's fine.

I couldn't be more thrilled...

to send my girlfriend off to her own party.

I should meet up with a friend too. Go ahead.

Actually, I'll go first to lessen your burden.

I'm off then.

- Call me when it's over. - Sure.

Congratulations on your win. I'm proud of you, Da Hee!

Good luck.

Thanks, I'll call you later.

Enjoy your dinner.

Thanks again.

Cho Yeon, are you sure you don't need anything?

We'll buy what we want if you don't tell us.

It's fine, girls.

You barely make enough to cover your expenses.

Way to knock me down.

Then let's close early tomorrow and grab dinner instead.

- It'll be on us. - Yes.

Sounds good. What are we having?

Can we have beef?

Imagine a glass of soju with some beef tartare.

Yeon Hong, excuse me,

but Cho Yeon can't eat raw food.

It's her birthday, not yours.

It's fine.

Besides, I thought about...

inviting the ladies at the market over for dinner.

We've caused some trouble here and there...

but apart from the rice cakes we handed out,

we never properly thanked them.

Sounds nice to me.

It'd be nice to get to know them better.

We used to be scared of them, remember?

Then we should just have it here.

We'll go grocery shopping and cook some food here.

I'll head to the dance class and invite them over.

Hello, everyone. I see you're all here early.

- Hi. - Good to see you.

It didn't cost much, so I bought a box on the way.

Let's charge up on some vitamins before shaking away.

Thank you.

Please pass this around.

We were craving something sweet anyway.

Thank you.

Actually, consider that as the appetizer.

It's my birthday tomorrow, you see,

and I'd like to invite you all to dinner.

Will we be enjoying a feast tomorrow then?

I'm sorry, but I'm only asking the ladies this time.

The women should take a day to unwind, right?

I'll prepare a full-course meal,

so head over to my shop once you close up tomorrow.

Right, I'll see how things go tomorrow.

I'll try and make it.

Sure.

Ok Boon, let's go.

Sure thing.

- Ok Boon! - Yes?

Should we attend the kimbap lady's...

birthday party tomorrow?

I'm torn.

She'll be ordering food and setting up a feast for us.

Still, considering all that's happened,

I'm not sure if we should go.

How can we not when we were invited?

Really?

Are you really going to go?

We were fine with it,

but we thought you'd be uncomfortable.

What's there to be uncomfortable about?

We buried the hatchet.

If you think about it,

we were a bit territorial...

and also spread lies.

She's right. We should go.

It's ill-mannered to turn down an invitation.

Sure, let's go.

We'll enjoy the food and unwind!

Sure, let's do this.

- Sounds like fun. - It sure does.

- Let's go. - Come on.

First, she rejects my proposal...

but then she makes me sort out the storage again.

Everywhere you go,

there's that one person who gets on your nerves.

It's the people you work with,

not the actual job that stresses you out.

What?

Gosh, Hye Yeong. What a surprise.

What's been going on?

You haven't been in touch and absent from our gatherings.

I thought you had moved out of the country.

Sorry about that.

I had a hard time keeping it together...

ever since my husband's business went bankrupt.

You brat.

Friends aren't just for the good times, you know.

It kind of hurts.

I was too ashamed to call you.

I'm finally able to pay back the money I borrowed two years ago.

I wanted to give it to you in person,

and I put in double the interest.

Are you sure I can take this?

- Are things better now? - Yes.

Actually, I started a business last year. It's an online shopping mall.

I just started it as the last resort to pay my husband's debt.

It's been going pretty well. And I'm having fun with my work.

Really?

I'm so happy for you. Congratulations.

You can never tell what will happen in the future.

I'm running an online shopping mall?

Actually, you're much better at this than I am. You're competent.

Not really.

I just like clothes.

It's not just that you like clothes. You have a good sense of fashion.

Do you not remember the high school days?

Once you wore a pleated skirt, all the other girls followed suit.

When you bought a hair tie, all the girls bought the same thing.

You think?

It just reminds me of all the good old memories.

Excuse me. It's my client.

Hello, Mr. Han.

Are we short on stock?

Can you please hang on a second?

- You lost. - There you go.

Drink it up

- The drink is going down smoothly - The drink is going down smoothly

It's me again?

It's been me the whole time.

Can you let this slide just once?

Do you want the Dark Knight?

If he says no, you should drink twice as much.

- Look at her. - My gosh.

Okay. Let's continue without a break.

Ji Won, come on.

Da Hee lost the game again.

- Fool game, fool game - Fool game, fool game

Where are you? Are you still hanging out with them?

Did she not check my message yet?

Should I call her?

Hello? Da Hee, is it over? Where are you?

I'm at a bar near the school.

We came here for another round.

- Another round? - Yes.

I was going to go home after dinner, but they asked me to stay.

This is a good chance to get close to them,

so I didn't want to miss it.

- Isn't that great? - Yes, it is.

You're right. It's important to be good friends with them.

You're the class representative now.

I don't want you to stay too late though.

- Do you want me to pick you up? - No.

Ji Won lives in my neighborhood, so we can go home together.

All right then. Make sure to call me when you get home.

It sounds like she's having a lot of fun.

Her tone of voice is quite high.

Is she drunk?

- You're home. - Yes.

What's wrong with him again?

My brother is not fun at all these days.

He's just a weirdo.

The dish tastes different every time I come here.

Do they have a new chef?

What do you think? Do you like your food?

Do you want to order something else?

No, it's fine.

I like it.

Earlier today,

I got a call from the professor I worked with in New York.

He's opening a children's medical center in New York,

and he wants me there.

Oh, really?

And he's looking for a Korean doctor to work as a medical researcher.

So I'd like to recommend you.

You can write papers there...

and work on your doctorate at a graduate school.

If you want, you can pass the USMLE there...

and work as a doctor in the States.

I don't know.

This is just too sudden.

It's been your dream since college.

I still remember...

what you said on the school trip.

I'll help you with your dream.

Come with me, Na Hee.

Think about it.

We still have some time.

You should give me 10 dollars each.

I'll tell you if we need more money.

Guys.

Stop it!

Hey, what are you guys doing?

I said this is on me.

But the bill is quite high.

She's right. We can split the bill.

No. You can't do that.

Today, I'm paying.

Please let me pay it today.

I have money.

I got my paycheck.

- How much is it? - It's 98 dollars.

Did you say 9? Is it 98 dollars?

This is strange. Where's my money?

Oh, right.

I put it in my savings account.

What was I thinking?

Hey, guys.

Can anyone of you lend me 64 dollars?

It's okay.

We will split the bill.

I'll be sure to pay you back.

It's really okay.

Take this.

I'll help you with your dream.

Come with me, Na Hee.

Hear me out first...

Na Hee.

Na Hee!

I've become the class representative.

Hey, why are you being like this?

Congratulations to me!

I'm sorry.

I got drunk after playing drinking games.

Oh no. Who is this speaking?

It's the class representative who's really busy.

I'm really sorry.

You called me last night.

I know.

I was terrified when Na Hee answered it.

I'm so sorry.

I was just fine, but I blacked out all of a sudden.

I can imagine.

You don't hold your liquor very well.

How did you get home?

Ji Won took me home.

It was Ji Won who took care of me the whole time.

I owe it to him that I'm still alive.

I'm very thankful.

Maybe I should buy him dinner when I meet him.

Hang on. Gyu Jin, wait for me.

So what time do you get off school today?

Hello.

- Hi. - Hello, Dr. Song.

(Pediatrician Yoon Gyu Jin)

Did he come to work?

Are you looking for Dr. Yoon?

Yes. I need to ask him something about my paper.

He's making rounds now.

There's a patient he needs to check on.

Do you want me to tell him that you stopped by?

No.

You don't have to. It's nothing urgent.

- Are you on your rounds? - Yes.

What did you talk to Na Hee about last night?

Do I have to tell you that?

No, that's not what I meant.

I'm just curious.

You know what?

I still have feelings for Na Hee.

I was going to tell her that.

I'm busy. I should get going.

"You were going to?"

That means,

you didn't tell her that.

I got an offer from New York.

I asked Na Hee to come with me.

It's a research position.

She can write papers...

and pursue a doctorate there. And if she wants,

she can get her medical license there and work as a doctor.

It's a good opportunity for her.

So what?

For what reason are you...

telling me this?

You know the reason.

I know I'm not playing fair.

But I can barely handle myself.

Take care.

Ta-da.

What are you reading?

An SCI paper.

US papers have varied topics with larger cases, so they're fun.

They are.

Did I tell you?

One day, I want to get a doctorate in New York,

pass the USMLE, and treat patients there.

They offer more financial support and have more cases.

I'm so excited just thinking about it.

Starting today, we'll join an English study group.

- Me too? - Of course.

If I join, you join too.

Or I'll kill you.

Will I die if I don't join?

Do you expect to live, then?

You have to come with me.

It's a research position.

She can write papers...

and pursue a doctorate there. And if she wants,

she can get her medical license there and work as a doctor.

It's a good opportunity for her.

Cho Yeon, what's the new menu? What kimbap will you make?

I'll stew some burdock, and cook thick slices of egg...

and make some burdock and egg kimbap.

That shouldn't be too bad, as long as you season it well.

I should buy some rice cakes.

Bye.

Hey, Ms. Kang.

- How are you? - I'm fine.

- Are you out buying groceries? - Yes.

It's your birthday today. Happy birthday.

My birthday doesn't mean much to me,

but thank you anyway.

Good luck with the party later.

Have some good fun with the ladies.

- I will. - See you.

Is he the merchant association president?

Yes.

He doesn't look much like a president.

More like a guy next door.

Don't say that. He has a lot of influence in the market.

Really?

- Oh, hello. I'm glad we met. - Hi.

- I need you to sign this. - Okay.

He must be quite rich.

Thank you.

- I'll take this. - Bye.

- See you next time. - Okay.

Oh, dear.

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry, sir. Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm fine. - I'm so sorry.

Who's that?

I haven't seen him around here.

So that's done.

Let's see. The free tables are...

Hey, it's Dr. Song.

Dr. Song.

Can I sit?

Of course. You're already seated.

Why are you eating on your own?

Where's your new best friend?

He's at Sejin Hospital about a patient transfer.

Then you should've called me.

You've been too distant because you found a new friend.

At one time, we were soulmates of some sort.

I still think we are.

Hey. I'm touched.

This is tasty.

I owe you.

You bought me one last time.

What do you want?

About yesterday. That note.

What about it?

You asked if I left it as a colleague.

What did you mean?

I just...

started to wonder.

Why you were concerned for me.

Jeong Rok asked you to go to New York with him.

How do you know?

He told me.

So?

Will you go?

I'm thinking about it.

What do you think?

What do you think I should do?

You should go.

It's a good opportunity.

It's what you wanted.

That is...

what I should say.

For your sake.

Lunchtime is over. Let's go.

Is the shoot just a month away?

I've never worked on something that big. I'm so nervous.

There's still time. Let's prepare slowly.

It's not any different.

Oh? Dad!

Are you back from training?

How are you? Hi, it's been a while Hyo Sin.

Hi.

Why are you here at this time?

Shouldn't you be in class?

What?

Well, yes. But Dad, I think summer's getting to me.

I feel so heavy and weak,

and I just want to go somewhere.

Rather than go far away and make Mom and Dad worry,

I decided to come and see you...

The truth is, I have a quiz today,

and I'm not prepared.

It's better to skip it than moan over a low score.

Wow, you are so decisive.

You're very bold and admirable.

I take after my dad.

Song Seo Young. Go back to class.

You can't avoid things you fear.

And didn't your mom tell you?

- You can't... - I heard.

She said I can't go to Grandpa's.

And I can only see you every other week.

Mom always does as she pleases.

Why should we always do as she says?

It's not like that. I agreed to the arrangement.

- What? - So...

you can't skip class and come here now.

I can't welcome you.

You mean...

I should just leave?

Yes. Go back to class.

Shall I really go? For real?

Yes. Go.

Okay.

I'll go, then.

How refreshing.

Aren't you pleased that Mom finished early and came for you?

Song Seo Young, where were you? Your teacher called me.

Seo Young, answer me.

Where were you?

I went to see Dad. Why?

He told me to leave though.

He's never once said that to me before,

but he said I can't come to him anymore.

He held a cold gaze and didn't even smile once.

Seo Young.

You two only care about yourselves, you know.

You never ask for my opinion.

I hate you both!

Let's see. Da Shik's class must've ended by now.

- Jae Seok. - Yes, hello.

I'm Yoon Jae Seok, Song Da Shik's boyfriend.

Are you done with your class? Can I see you today?

Well, I guess we can meet up,

but it'll have to be later in the day.

You see, Ji Won is taking everyone out for a birthday party.

I don't know about the others,

but I can't ignore Ji Won's birthday.

Goodness, it's Ji Won's birthday today.

Of course, you should attend it.

Enjoy the party and call me.

We can always meet up tomorrow.

If not tomorrow, then on the weekend.

You know me.

I'm not the petty type who restricts his girlfriend.

Yes, of course.

Thank you for being so understanding.

If it were me, I would already be fuming.

I'm glad you know.

Don't drink too much this time.

You don't want to blackout again.

I won't. I'll be sticking to just the food today.

Anyway, I'll call you.

I miss you so much!

She misses me. Can she be more adorable?

Who am I supposed to have dinner with today?

I hate eating alone.

Gyu Jin, I was just on my way to you.

Would you like to grab some dinner?

I'm exhausted, so I'd rather go home.

Come on. Let's grab some dinner first.

I need to kill some time outside.

Kill some time back at home.

I can at least give you a ride.

- But... - Dr. Yoon,

an urgent patient is on the way. Could you stay?

- Did we get a call? - Yes, they're almost here.

Sure thing.

You heard that, right? Enjoy eating alone.

But I don't want to be home alone.

Yes, it's me.

Could I move Jae Min's math class to 7 p.m.?

He's seeing a doctor for his stomachache, you see.

It must be because of the stress again.

Right, don't I know it.

Jae Min, can you bend your legs?

- I did that already. Yes. - Try to breathe comfortably.

- My stomach hurts. - Sure.

I think I'm going to throw up.

I see.

I'll apply some pressure, so tell me if it hurts.

Here.

Here.

What about here...

It hurts.

Sure thing. Thank you.

What's wrong with him, doctor?

It seems like acute enteritis.

Enteritis?

I'm afraid so.

He has a fever and is short of breath.

It'll be wise to have him admitted and his status checked overnight.

What's there to monitor when it's enteritis?

That's just based on my preliminary examination.

If his symptoms worsen in any way,

it could lead to something more serious.

It's fine. Besides, we're behind on schedule.

Jae Min, get up.

Put your shoes on.

Careful.

He's competing in the mathematical Olympiad tomorrow.

Please leave out medication that brings on drowsiness.

Jae Min.

Are you sure you'll be all right?

If we don't leave now, we'll be stuck in traffic.

Ma'am,

Jae Min's health is most important here,

so please make sure he gets enough rest today.

- Sure thing. - Also,

if he has trouble breathing again or his fever spikes,

please take him to the ER.

Got it.

Let's go. Come on.

This is a surprise, you know.

You're not one to visit me until you're asked to.

I figured you were too busy meeting your girlfriend.

Don't tell me she blew you off today.

Mom, I only came by because I missed you.

What? As if.

Did you really miss me?

What? Of course.

Of course, I missed you, Your Majesty.

Check this out.

Isn't it pretty?

I'm not sure.

Isn't it stuffy to wear a scarf in this weather?

Try being at the coffee shop all day.

The cold air from the AC creeps up and down my bare neck.

Anyway, it was a gift from Da Hee.

From Da Hee?

Yes, I paid her extra for working part-time for me,

so she came over to buy me dinner.

After dinner, we went shopping together,

and that's when she bought me this.

This wasn't particularly expensive, but it's the thought that counts.

She locked arms with me endearingly...

and it felt nice.

It was as if she were my daughter.

Yes, that's right. Song Da Hee sure is the sweetest.

That's not how you should refer to your former in-law!

What else should I call her then? Song Na Hee?

Why would you even mention that name?

The delivered items were put in storage,

and I placed an order for 20 black and 20 pink polo shirts.

Sure, you can go home then.

Would it kill you to tell me I did a good job?

Wretched brat.

Ms. Song.

I'm glad I caught you before you left.

Yes, is there something you need me to do?

Actually, that's not it.

It's about the in-house contest.

Joo Young's styling just wasn't up to par.

So I went over all the submissions, and yours was clearly the best.

Really? Thank you so much.

The manager is supposed to have the final say,

so I can't overturn her decision.

From what I've seen though, you have a good sense of fashion...

and are great with the customers.

It'll be a waste to keep you only as a junior staff member.

That is why I thought I'd recommend you...

for the new manager spot at the Cheongdam branch.

What do you say?

My gosh. Really?

Joon Seon's running late today.

After training, he heads to meetings...

and then spends all night developing action sequences.

I'm worried he might exhaust himself.

Staying busy is how he keeps his mind off things.

- Hello? - Hyo Sin.

Where are you? At home?

Yes. Why?

Then meet me outside. I need to celebrate.

Sure thing. Got it.

Can you fold these for me? I'm heading out.

He's off to meet a girl, isn't he?

Looks like it. Why else would he seem excited?

All this time, he pretended not to be interested in girls.

As if.

Hyo Sin, over here.

Cheers.

Gosh, that's good.

In the end, it's even better than winning the contest.

Becoming a manager is the same as a promotion.

Exactly.

A manager at a branch in Cheongdam-dong?

It doesn't get better than that.

Then why don't you seem happy about this?

Shouldn't you be on cloud nine?

How perceptive of you. How did you know?

Is something else troubling you?

You see,

I got thinking ever since my manager tossed aside my submission.

Maybe I should do what I want before it really is too late.

Something like that.

But this new job offer is too tempting.

Becoming a manager means a bigger paycheck.

With the extra money, I could buy Ji Hun a new laptop...

and treat him with delicious meals.

I could even give my parents extra money to spend.

It'll provide me with so many options.

What is it that you truly want to do?

Running a clothing store.

I want to pick out clothes I like,

match them the way I want, and attract customers.

It'll take time to fully get it off the ground,

Also, no one can guarantee that it'll be a success.

If you think about it, it's really a no-brainer.

Of course, I should take the manager job.

I'm a mother, first and foremost.

What does that have to do with anything though?

What?

I may not know many things, but this I do.

A child can only be happy if the mother is.

Gosh. When did she take my mom out to dinner...

and buy her a gift?

Da Hee, you sweet gem.

I wonder if the birthday party is over.

Maybe I should call.

No, don't. Calling constantly will make you seem petty.

Don't do it. Don't you dare.

Myungin University, birthday party.

(Myungin University birthday party)

There she is. There's my girlfriend.

Wait, it's Young Ah, right?

I see.

Gosh.

She's having a blast being the captain...

of these young sailors.

All right.

Right.

Ji Won?

Ji Won...

Ji Won's a guy? A guy?

What the...

Hold on.

Ji Won, the former representative is awfully considerate.

Ji Won took me home.

It was Ji Won who took care of me the whole time.

You see, Ji Won is taking everyone out for a birthday party.

Ji Won, Ji Won,

Ji Won...

Sir, change of plans. Take me to Myungin University!

If I barge in right now,

I'll look like a possessive boyfriend.

Darn it.

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

Thanks, guys.

If you had told me, I would've bought a gift.

I'm sorry to have come empty-handed.

Don't worry about it, Da Hee.

You can treat me some time at the cafeteria.

Sure, anytime.

Shall we eat then? Everything's on me.

- Nice. - Thanks.

It's really good.

Try that.

- It's so good. - Is it?

Yes.

Gosh, that's good.

- Well... - It's really good.

Gosh, Da Hee.

Wait, Jae Seok?

What are you doing here?

My friend and I agreed to meet here, but he canceled on me.

I can't believe we crossed paths like this.

How fascinating.

Aren't you the one who dropped off the sushi?

You're her boyfriend.

Right, her boyfriend.

That's right.

I'm Da Hee's boyfriend.

My gosh.

You have no idea how worried I was.

The last thing I wanted was for her...

to be ostracized by her young classmates.

But seeing you guys today...

prove just how foolish I was to even think that.

There's no need for you to worry because she's been having a blast.

I doubt anyone could've adjusted as quickly as she did.

Don't be ridiculous. I couldn't have if it hadn't been for you guys.

I must be lucky when it comes to having friends.

You're absolutely right.

It surely seems that way.

Ji Won, I heard you'd be helping her out...

since you had the gig before her.

Right.

Excuse me, can I get another cup of ice?

Biting on ice isn't good for you, you know.

Small cracks can occur on your teeth if you bite down on ice too often.

Biting on hard objects can...

My gosh, I went into too much detail, didn't I?

Sorry, it just comes with the job.

What do you do for a living?

I'm a dentist at a children's hospital.

Bring in your nephews and nieces if they need a checkup.

I can't offer a discount since it's not my hospital,

but I promise to do my absolute best.

Got it?

Enjoy, Da Hee.

Sure, Jae Seok.

Thank you all for coming today.

I served a great deal so please eat up.

Oh, right. This is a new dish that I've been developing,

so I made it to receive some feedback.

- Let me try. - Please go ahead.

How is it?

It's really good.

She's right. This one's not that bad.

Why did you make ones that tasted odd...

when you clearly have the ability to do better?

What she said!

I guess I lack in a lot of ways.

With the kimbap and community life here.

I should've put together a gathering like this sooner.

I'm sorry about that.

No, don't be. It's not easy to gather like this,

so we should be thanking you. I feel united.

- She's right. - She sure is.

It's nice to be officially invited too.

Of course. I couldn't be more grateful.

We caused a lot of trouble even though we didn't mean to...

and a commotion couldn't be avoided.

I hope you just consider it as us getting adjusted here...

and please be patient with us.

Once you get to know us, you'll learn that we're not so bad.

I hope this can be the beginning of a good friendship.

Also, please give us an earful if we do something wrong.

What? Raising our voices...

might earn a punch for you.

We all know how strong you are.

Don't we know it.

Truth be told, we're not proud of our actions either.

It was probably awkward enough for you,

but instead of helping you adjust,

we spread odd rumors.

From now on, let's work hard to get along.

Are we all in agreement?

- Of course. - Must you ask?

The order is coming from the lady up top.

Your wish is our command.

Let's do that.

Why don't we just be friends?

Friends. We can be friends.

Sure.

This is so nice.

I'm so happy for you guys.

It feels so good to hear something nice from the pretty girls.

All right. Let's make a toast and drink together then.

- Okay. - Let's do that.

For the good health of the merchant association ladies.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Give me a break.

Ms. Kang, why are you still single?

What's your family like?

It would take me all night to tell you about it.

Now that we have some time, can I tell you about the life I've led?

Go ahead and tell us. We will be here all night to listen to you.

Sure.

We will just take a day off tomorrow.

Don't.

If you tell them the whole thing on the spur of the moment,

they will talk behind your back later on.

You should never fall for that.

Gosh, we won't be like that.

Who here doesn't have a difficult life? We're all the same.

You think?

You guys are in a different league from us.

You're no match for us.

So don't pretend to understand how we feel.

That's just ridiculous.

Guys, she's drunk. Take her to the bedroom.

Okay. Let's go.

- Just go. - Come here.

Get off me. It's not like I'm wrong.

Excuse me. Please just wrap it up and go to your room.

We're having fun here, but you're ruining it.

Hey, stop it.

What did I do?

Just like last time, she's going way too far.

She's being uncultured. Where are her manners?

That's right.

I have no manners.

That's who I am. What are you going to do about it?

What about you? Do you think you're sophisticated and refined?

You're no different from me.

And what's that big ribbon on your hair?

It just doesn't suit you.

You've been really annoying from the beginning. You know that?

What did you say?

Hey!

My brother-in-law got me this hair pin.

Why do you even care? And how old are you?

How dare you talk to me like that?

I'm old enough to talk to you like this.

What else am I supposed to say?

It's not like I'm talking to myself.

Hey, Yeon Hong. Get in that room.

- Just go. - Okay. I'm going.

I know I'm an unwelcome guest. I'm going in now.

I'm on my way now.

My gosh.

- What should I do? - I'm sorry.

Gosh, I feel really bad.

You polite and refined lady.

Hey, you just did it to me on purpose, didn't you?

Right?

Did you just hit me?

How dare you hit me!

My gosh. Stop it, Ok Ja.

Come here.

- Let go of me. - How dare you!

You wench!

- Let go of me, you wench! - Let go!

- Here you are. - Thank you.

Gosh, it's a university town, but things are not so cheap.

They ate a lot.

- Thank you for the food. - Thank you.

It cost a lot, right?

I'm sorry. I just made you spend a lot of money.

It's okay.

This is what I can do for your friends, Da Hee.

Thank you so much.

How should we address him?

Jae Seok or Doctor?

It doesn't matter.

Just don't call me a jerk.

Thank you for the food.

I was going to pay.

No, it's okay. You're a student. You're not making money.

I should get going then. See you tomorrow.

Okay. Bye.

Happy birthday again, Ji Won.

Happy birthday to you.

See you around, Ji Won.

Are you coming again?

"Are you coming again?"

That's amazing.

How could we run into each other there?

Actually, there have been a lot of coincidences between us.

We met at a bar by chance back then.

- Right? - Well... Yes.

I guess you're right or not.

This is nice anyway.

Walking with you holding hands.

I know. I like it too.

But why did you not tell me that Ji Won was a guy?

What? Did you not know that?

Of course not.

You didn't say it was a guy.

I didn't say it was a girl.

Oh, right.

How old is that jerk... I mean...

How old is he? Did he finish his military service?

No. He looks so young.

And he's shining.

And he has a nice personality.

He's affable and takes good care of others.

Does he have a girlfriend? I bet he does.

I don't know. I don't think he has one.

That must be why he had a birthday party with us.

By the way, why do you keep asking about him?

No reason.

That jerk seems to be pretty close... I mean...

You two seem to be close friends.

I guess you're right.

He's my closest friend for now.

Are you being jealous?

Gosh, I'm not jealous.

I don't get jealous.

I think you are jealous of him.

Does he bother you?

Because he's so young and cute?

Gosh, no.

I don't get jealous.

You know me. I have very high self-esteem.

You seem startled. You are jealous.

It turns out Jae Seok was a jealous boyfriend.

What should I do now? I'm in trouble.

Gosh, I said no. Stop it.

Da Hee, why are you being like this to me?

I'm really sad. I'm not jealous.

Are you having a hard time falling asleep?

What?

Are you still up?

Did I wake you?

No.

I was just about to fall asleep.

Mom.

If you're not sleepy, do you want to play with me?

Shall we?

Let's play just for 10 minutes then.

Why?

- What's troubling you? - What?

How did you know that I was troubled?

You usually fall asleep as soon as you lie down.

But you can't fall asleep when you have something on your mind.

Ji Hun, you just see through me.

You're right. I have something on my mind.

Ji Hun.

There's something I want to do.

Do you think I should give it a try...

or I should just pull myself together...

and work hard to get my salary every month?

I want you to give it a try.

Why?

You will be happier that way.

I'm happy when you are happy.

Are you sure? Can I really do that?

We might be worse off like the old days for a while.

It's okay.

And to be honest,

I've saved some money.

It's over 300 dollars.

I can lend you the money if you need it.

Can you?

I feel so reassured.

Go away.

Get out of here, you wench!

I can't believe this.

You just returned kindness with ingratitude.

How could you make a scene like that?

It was hard for me to get them together like that.

When will you grow up?

I've been cleaning up after you all these years.

You haven't gotten any better with age.

If I took care of a dead tree the way I did of you,

it would've been in full bloom by now.

I wasn't in good condition,

and I did make a mistake yesterday.

But it was her who got on my nerves first.

I hate it when people say I'm not refined.

Are you saying you did the right thing?

No, that's not what I meant.

We don't need to say much. Just go away.

I can't deal with you.

- Cho Yeon. - Get lost.

I'll go and apologize to the ladies. You get ready to open up.

Once she's gone, sprinkle salt everywhere.

Okay, Cho Yeon. See you later.

We'll get ready to open.

Do you see my scalp here? There's a bare hole, isn't there?

- Here. - I think so...

Will you stop checking?

It's not like staring at it will bring back the hair you lost.

How did you get into such a bad fight?

I don't know.

She was drunk, and she suddenly grabbed my hair.

Why did you upset her?

She looked like a nasty witch.

And to be honest, you pulled out a good chunk of her hair too.

I was defending myself.

She's the one who started it.

Hello.

- Hello. - Welcome, Ms. Kang.

Hello.

I brought this.

Thank you.

My birthday rice cake that I couldn't serve yesterday.

Ms. Jang, are you okay?

She's fine. It's not like she broke or scraped anything.

I'm so sorry.

You came to wish me well and the party got ruined.

That witch...

She's very remorseful.

I scolded her harshly.

So please don't be too angry, Ms. Jang.

I have no hard feelings towards you.

Why should you apologize?

That woman's really weird, though.

She's a legend.

How long will she stay with you?

I don't know. I'll send her away as soon as possible.

I'm sorry, Ms. Jang.

What's she doing? She acted like she was leaving, so why won't she?

I don't know. I wish she'd just go.

What? You're still here?

Yes. I was just about to leave.

I won't come back again, Cho Yeon. I'm sorry.

That sounds good. Let's never meet again.

Take care.

Okay. Bye.

Girls, take care.

We will. Goodbye.

Have a safe trip.

Why won't this move? Are the wheels broken?

Hey, did you season the rice?

Yes.

Taste it yourself.

My tummy hurts.

Cho Yeon, can I go to the toilet before I leave?

My stomach suddenly hurts.

My gosh.

If you want to put on a show, practice your acting first.

Cho Yeon.

I don't believe you.

I always think of your mom at times like this.

Why do I do this to myself?

You can't stay a day over our deal.

It's only until then, okay?

Okay. I'll act like I'm not even around.

I'm sorry.

- Cho Yeon. - Why did you give in?

I can't stand this.

The manager position you offered yesterday.

I'm so grateful for the offer,

and the fact that you acknowledged me...

felt like a shower of rain after a drought...

because I had low self-esteem.

But I think...

you should find someone else.

I plan to resign.

Why so suddenly? Is something wrong?

No. I want to start my own small business.

I might never get to try if I put it off any longer.

I'm sorry. You cared a lot about me.

What did you two talk about? Was it a personal chit-chat?

I'm not sure if I should answer that.

Here.

Why are you giving me this?

I just quit.

So I'm returning it.

How could you do that without talking to me, your manager?

It so happened.

So...

I'll speak freely now.

I'm a bit...

No. I'm way older than you.

- Ms. Song! - Don't interrupt!

Here's some advice from an elder.

You should be nice.

You make others do your job...

and clean the storage room when you're upset.

The other workers are just too sweet.

If I worked here a month longer, I'd have beaten you up.

My goodness.

Why that...

How dare a kid treat me like that?

I thought she'd really kick me out.

She's too affectionate.

She's too soft. That's why she always struggles.

My goodness.

How old is this relic?

It's wrapped up so tight.

Is it expensive?

Hello? Who's this?

You can't come here.

I said I'd call you when I got the money.

But you didn't call.

You're hiding from us because you can't get the money.

Who said I'm hiding?

I'm just here to see a close friend.

My gosh.

Listen, Ms. Hong.

You're accumulating interest every second.

The principal and interest...

adds up to 65,000 dollars!

How will you pay all that back?

What? I borrowed 40,000 dollars.

How can the interest be 25,000?

Even if you're loan sharks,

how can anyone pay back a 30-percent interest each month?

Others manage just fine.

Why? Because I make them pay me back.

Do you need some help, Ms. Hong?

Shall I help you?

Shall I make you pay me back?

Give me a little time. A week.

A week, a darn week, you always say a week!

Hong Yeon Hong, with the same name back to front.

You are really testing my patience!

Then 2 days. Give me just 2 days.

I'll get the money and call you.

Please.

Okay, 2 days. You have just 2 days.

Not any longer.

I waited long enough, didn't I?

Let's go.

Hear me out first.

You should go.

It's a good opportunity.

That is...

what I should say. For your sake.

What's the matter?

Dr. Yoon's patient from yesterday is in the ER getting CPR.

Wake up.

Coming through.

Doctor, what's wrong with him?

Since when was he like this?

I don't know. He kept wanting to lie down this morning.

He said he felt weak and that he couldn't breathe.

Ready?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

What's the diagnosis?

I saw him yesterday. Cardiac arrest one minute ago.

7, 8, 9, 10. 1, 2...

Is it myocarditis? I'll give him oxygen.

Come on.

(Once Again)

I'll talk to the press and sue you too!

Do you think I can't?

Will you stop blaming yourself?

Gyu Jin's not picking up?

Is there anything to sell? Like gold?

How will you pay me back? Answer me!

What's going on here?

Cho Yeon.

I searched all the internet cafes in this area looking for you.

You and Mom do whatever you want, so I'm doing the same.

Look as natural as possible.

Why don't we hold hands?

1, 2, 3.

Okay, next.

You were former in-laws, and now you're dating in secret.

What?

My gosh, Da Hee.
