(Episode 4)

How's the doenjang soup?

It's good.

Eun Hee made it this morning for you.

I'd rather she not nag me.

She packed you lunch even though she barely slept.

Look.

Who packs lunch like this for a college student?

She wouldn't have the energy if she were married.

All of her focus should be on...

her husband and child, not me.

Can't you see how scary that is?

You know how you're the centre of her world.

Too bad it's not something I want.

What a nuisance.

So why did we find those things in your bag?

I know they're not yours.

Sir, you're heading out early.

Right.

I have a breakfast meeting.

- Let me carry your bag out. - I'm good.

Secretary Jang is right outside.

I see. Well, have a good day.

Dad, I'll see you at the office.

Sure.

He's trying to ignore me.

That's not true.

He depends on you a lot.

No. He's been deliberately distant as of late.

It's all in your head.

What if he hates me forever?

He'd never as long as I'm here.

Come on. Let's have breakfast.

Boss outdid herself again this time.

What are you looking at?

These are her new designs. Aren't they gorgeous?

They're 10 times prettier than the ones we saw at the fair.

You seem to be infatuated with her.

What?

No, I respect her a designer. I'm sure you do, too.

I do but not as much as you.

Give it a few more months.

You'll be gushing at how amazing she is.

- Boss. - Yes?

Your new designs are incredible.

I uploaded them onto our server.

You did? Thanks.

Do you think...

there's a chance that someone would copy my designs?

I doubt it. Not unless it's a wedding dress designer.

Really?

I just hope it didn't land in the wrong hands.

These are a work of art.

Ma'am, are you working on your new design?

Yes, I've got a good feeling about this one.

I think it's going to be great.

Ma'am.

Actress Jung Jin is the sister of my sister's friend's friend.

The sister of your sister's friend's friend?

Yes, and she's getting married.

She's interested in choosing Hara for the venue.

If we can get her to wear our dress,

we'll get instant publicity.

Really? That sounds amazing.

Lee, make that happen no matter what.

Yes, Ma'am.

She's going to get married in my dress.

Sir.

Hello, Da Hee.

My team has good news.

What is it?

Actress Jung Jin wants to wear one of my dresses.

Really?

She's the friend of a friend.

I see.

We'll get instant publicity once she wears my dress.

You'll see.

That's great news.

One more thing. Since she's wearing my dress,

she'll get married here, too.

Right.

They'll be a spread in the magazine about her wedding...

and TV shows will cover her on her big day.

Her wedding dress will be featured in them...

so we'll be promoting it almost for free.

It sounds like a good opportunity. I'll look forward to it.

Yes, you should.

I'll bring you down a peg or two.

"It sounds like a good opportunity. I'll look forward to it."

Could he be more brusque?

Mum.

My goodness. What did I tell you?

I asked gently and she told me that it was Seo Young's.

Hae In brought home her bag since she was too drunk.

Okay.

Thanks.

Are you Seo Young?

Yes.

I'm Hae In's sister.

I heard that she had a big sister.

Did she say that?

Yes, she's sick and tired of your nosiness.

Is this your bag?

It is.

I mistook what's in this bag as Hae In's...

and we argued.

Why?

Well...

I don't know how to answer that.

Anyway, I want you to stay away from her.

I'm not her friend.

We only drank together as classmates.

That's a relief.

Anyway, I want you to stay away from Hae In.

Could she be any lamer?

I can't believe I got an earful from her sister.

What's going on?

Your sister brought this by.

She asked if it was really mine.

Gosh, you're so lame.

What were you doing here?

Are you out of your mind?

- Calm down. - How could I calm down?

Are you crazy?

Why did you come here to meet my friend?

I'm sorry.

I just...

You still don't trust me.

I'm not in elementary school.

I can't believe you'd embarrass me like this.

It's not like that.

I'm done. I've had it with you.

You won't see me again.

What?

Hae In...

Hae In!

Hae In!

Why is Eun Hee so devoted to her little sister?

Last night, she called Han Sol and even me.

Gosh.

If it were anyone else, they'd scold her for calling so late.

I became really sick soon after I had Hae In...

so Eun Hee had to practically raise her.

I'd believe it if you said that she was Eun Hee's daughter.

Stop talking so much!

You'll get neutraliser in your mouth.

Don't worry. It won't hurt me one bit.

Bok Soon.

Out of all the janitors at Papa Confectionery,

I'm the only one who's never taken a day off.

Right.

Your whole life has revolved around Papa Confectionery.

They honestly should give you a reward.

You're right about that.

From 6 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon,

I clean that building from top to bottom so that it's spotless.

I scrub the floors harder than I scrub my face.

I know and that's why I've been taking...

extra good care of your hair for the past 20 years.

No one can beat you when it comes to my hair.

It's even better than what they do in Cheongdam-dong.

To me, you're the best.

My lifelong dream was to open a hairdresser's...

but I never got around to that.

Who cares?

You're fine working out of your home.

You can kill two birds with one stone.

You're by all means telecommuting.

I hear that's what the talented do these days.

Yes, you're right. I am telecommuting!

See?

You're home early. I wasn't expecting you.

What are you doing?

I'm moving out...

so don't look for me.

What do you mean you're moving out?

I won't be answering Eun Hee's or your calls any more.

Tell her that...

I'll sever all ties if she meets any of my friends again.

What do you mean by that?

You can't seriously be moving out of my house.

My gosh. Hae In, stop!

Hae In! Let's talk about this!

Hae In. Please!

Please!

Hae In.

What just happened?

Mum.

What are you doing here?

What did you do? Hae In just moved out.

What?

I'm never moving back in.

You took it too far by meeting with her friend.

I only went because her college was nearby.

I also wanted to know for sure.

Why can't you trust her?

She said it wasn't hers.

You should've taken her word for it.

Even I would've been angry.

The contents in that bag really had me worried.

You should've seen her friend with all that makeup.

You really are the problem.

If you don't trust Hae In, then who will?

There's no such thing as too much precaution with pregnancy.

Don't worry. Like I said, she's 10 times smarter than you.

Why did you have to provoke her like that?

We both know how long it'll take for her to calm down.

Han Sol!

Get your nose out of that book...

and have some dinner.

What's taking so long?

All right.

Come and sit.

Something smells delicious.

I made chueotang, your favourite.

I thought you could use the energy boost.

Thank you so much. I love you.

You telling me you love me...

is all that I need to live this world.

My adorable boy.

Mum, I can't believe you left my right cheek out.

Is that so?

Here you go. Satisfied?

Han Sol!

- Let's eat. - Hi, Eun Hee.

Hi.

I see you're having dinner.

I brought you some tomatoes.

I made chueotang. Would you like some?

No, I already had dinner.

Han Sol.

Did you talk to Hae In this afternoon?

I called her but she wouldn't answer.

Isn't she at home?

No.

Did something happen?

We had a big fight and she moved out.

What?

She doesn't have anywhere to go...

so I was wondering if you knew something.

Don't be absurd. I'm sure she has many places to go.

She can take care of herself...

so don't worry. She'll be back soon.

- I'll go and find her. - What?

Do you know where she is?

Where do you think you're going? You haven't had dinner yet.

Who cares about dinner?

Han Sol, wait!

Thanks, Han Sol.

You're unbelievable.

Did you have to get him worried like that?

I didn't mean to.

The world doesn't revolve around Hae In, you know.

You should stop pushing my son around.

It's not like that.

It's always like that with you...

but I guess it's our fault for being your tenants.

Han Sol likes Hae In.

Of course he's worried.

What did you just say?

I'm sorry but I'm afraid you've got it wrong.

Han Sol doesn't fancy Hae In.

She's the one that's been flirting with him.

Gosh. What's with that laugh?

What are you doing here?

Who sent you?

No one. I sought you out all by myself.

I left home indefinitely so don't tell anyone I'm here.

I won't.

Once you tell your mum,

she'll tell my mum and then my sister will know.

You always set off the domino.

No, I don't.

You're the last person I'd trust with a secret.

Do you know who's hurting the most right now?

Me, of course. I left for a very good reason.

You're ripping my heart into shreds just by being here.

I was so worried that I came to find you even though...

my CPA exam is in two days.

Did you expect me to thank you in tears?

Go home and study. Make sure you pass the exam.

Eat this, too.

Thanks. Ramyeon wasn't quite enough.

Hae In.

Let's get married.

What?

We'll get married once I pass my exam.

Let's just register our marriage and start living together.

Once you become my wife,

your sister won't be able to tell you what to do.

All that studying must have gone to your head.

Every holiday, we'll go on a vacation.

Cooking and cleaning? Leave that to me.

I'll give you a full body massage every night.

Every day will be incredibly romantic.

Han Sol!

I'm at your service!

Stop being so clingy.

You never know.

Friends can easily become lovers.

If that was true between us, it would've happened already.

Stop messing with me.

I'm not. I'm perfectly serious.

I told you to stop it!

Yes, Ma'am.

Did you find her?

Did you really doubt me?

If both Hae In and I were drowning,

you'd probably won't even see me.

Mum, don't be ridiculous.

You're larger than her so how could I miss you?

So where is she?

You have to keep this a secret or she'll kill me.

Do you remember the studio in Seongbuk-dong...

where your son used to practise with his band?

Yes, I remember.

Han Sol refused to tell me where she was,

but I figured it out on my own.

I'm sure she'll come home when she's calmed down...

so promise me that you won't tell Eun Hee.

Is there a place for her to sleep?

It seems that she'll be all right for a couple of days.

The building's in a safe neighbourhood too.

All right. I should tell Eun Hee before she loses her mind.

Bok Soon!

Just so you know, my son didn't tell me anything.

That's not the issue here.

To me, it is.

Mum?

Hae In's at the studio in Seongbuk-dong.

Han Sol called. I'm on my way there now.

Don't provoke her but persuade her gently to come home.

Don't worry.

Thanks.

It's their golden anniversary so it won't be that big.

Take out all the chairs and set up some round tables.

What about the flowers?

I'll take care of that myself.

Just make sure that they're fresh for the florist.

Yes, Sir.

Welcome.

- Did my order come in? - Of course.

Here. I kept them fresh for you.

What do you think? Don't they look lovely?

They're beautiful.

How much do you need?

- All of them. - All of them?

Okay.

Hi, how can I help you?

- Do you have marigold? - Marigold?

- Really? - Yes.

I'm terribly sorry,

but he just bought everything I had.

What are you doing here?

Hello, again.

Please send them to this address tomorrow morning.

All right.

I...

I only need one bouquet of marigold.

Could you spare me that?

A single bouquet?

Yes, I've been looking everywhere for these.

Please, help me out.

Does it have to be marigold?

Yes.

Who is it for?

It's my sister's favourite.

I thought it'd make my apology go smoother.

You're meaning to apologise with her favourite flowers?

That's right. I really need them.

Fine. You can have some.

But not for free.

Do you know the meaning behinds its name?

If I know...

I'll give it to you as a gift.

As a gift?

There's an African marigold and a French marigold.

That's right!

Those two are different.

How did you know that?

I ordered French marigold since it was for an event.

African marigolds stand for a sad goodbye...

while French marigolds...

stand for a happiness that will one day come.

How about that?

A happiness that will one day come?

Didn't you know that?

I didn't.

It's quite nice.

Are you going to give me some like you promised?

Of course.

Ma'am, give her a bouquet of marigolds.

All right.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

We keep bumping into each other.

I know.

That reminds me.

I wanted to ask you about the dresses.

What about them?

I was impressed by the designs.

Who's the designer?

My boss, the shop owner.

The designer owns the shop?

Yes, she designs all the dresses herself.

I see.

You work under a talented designer.

That's what people say but...

I don't quite see it.

The shop was closed when I dropped by yesterday.

Could I possibly meet her sometime?

What for?

I'm looking to hire a new designer.

To elevate the quality of Hara's dresses.

I see.

Why are you laughing?

My boss will never work for anyone else.

She'd never abandon the shop that...

she's been running for 10 years.

No way.

You'll just be wasting your time.

Hang on.

You're just the help. How do you know what she'll say?

I think she'll jump...

at the chance to work with our level of resources.

I know...

everything about my boss including the way she thinks.

Her pride is the last thing she'll compromise.

I'm sure that I can persuade her.

Here's a piece of advice.

Stop wasting your time.

All right.

Thank you again for the flowers.

You should get it fixed.

I'll get a new car...

once I have enough money.

You're making too many mistakes. Where's your head at?

Sir.

Please lie if someone comes looking for me here.

Is that a certain somebody?

Yes, my sister.

All right.

Just keep practising even though you've disbanded.

Otherwise, you'll get rusty.

Sure.

How can I get her out of my life?

Gosh.

Strangers aren't allowed in the building.

I see.

I'm just here to find someone.

Are you Hae In's sister?

How did you know?

You should go inside.

Thanks.

I knew it. Han Sol, that blabbermouth.

These are for you.

They're your favourite.

I'm not going home, so leave.

Come on. Don't be so stubborn.

You can't possibly stay here.

I can and I'm not going home.

Then let's talk.

Your tuition's due in two days.

Pay it with this.

I'm going to take time off school...

and earn my own tuition.

Why would you take time off when you're almost done?

Because I don't want your money any more.

I'm going to show you that I don't need you.

- Do you hate me that much? - More than you can imagine.

I'm never asking you for even a penny again,

so just stay out of my life.

I'll only keep in contact with Mum.

There's something I've been keeping from you.

Really?

What's that?

Someday,

you'll understand why I've been the way I am.

Someday?

You've got to be joking.

What's there to understand?

You're an old maid with no boyfriend or hobby.

It's disgusting how you treat me...

as if I were your daughter.

You might think that you're protecting me,

but you're not.

From where I stand, you're seriously ill.

I'll take care of my own expenses now,

so stay away from me.

All right. I won't.

I'll get my own place.

You go back home instead.

Where will you go?

It doesn't really matter at this point.

As if I'd fall for that.

I know you'd never leave.

I'll leave tonight.

Tonight?

Yes, so take this money...

and pay for your tuition.

I don't need it.

Haven't you been listening to me?

I'm not a kid any more.

Did you see her?

I'll be staying some place else for a while.

What?

Where are you going to go?

I can stay at the shop,

so call Hae In back once I leave.

Why are you leaving?

She won't come home if I'm here.

I have to bring her back somehow.

That's now how you discipline your child.

I'm not going to let you work all day and...

not even sleep in your own bed.

Mum.

What if...

I told Hae In everything?

What?

I can't just sit back and watch her push me away.

I'll feel a lot better once I tell her why I'm this way.

You can't.

Don't let 23 years of hiding the truth go to waste.

It won't help her in any way.

She...

She thinks I'm a monster.

I'd rather she knew the truth.

We lied so that...

both you and Hae In could have a future.

It'll all be over once you marry a decent man.

That's not easy at my age.

What am I going to tell him anyway?

That I just haven't been able to get married?

My life would be a lie.

Don't be so dramatic.

You'll be fine as long as you keep your mouth shut.

I'm sure of it.

Do I have to lie just so that I can get married?

I won't live like that.

Eun Hee.

I'm not getting married so don't keep your hopes up.

How many...

more times are you going to stab me in the heart?

I've been waiting all this time for you to get married...

so that you could finally move on from what happened 23 years ago.

So how can you say that?

Especially when your father died of anger?

Don't you even feel any remorse?

I can't believe you brought him up!

He was so upset...

that he smoked his way to the grave.

How would you feel if Hae In...

decided to stay single and live with us forever?

That's not something a mother likes to hear.

You know that it breaks my heart...

when I hear you talk about Dad.

So why would you bring him up?

What now?

I moved out. You can come home now.

For real?

Yes.

Do you promise to stay away from me?

I do.

We'll see.

For you,

I'll do anything.

(Here comes Love)

Sometimes you forget that you're my employee.

And you forget that I'm your son-in-law.

Shut it!

That old man...

The woman that looks like Ae Ri.

We keep on bumping into each other.

Why did she have to look like Ae Ri?

I think I'm over her now.

Did you see a wallet in the passenger's seat?

- I didn't. - I'm pretty sure it was there.

Old man, are you calling me a thief?

Old man?

The lady that helps with the dresses.

We don't have one.

My boss went to Hara Wedding Hall herself.

She's your boss?
