You've arrived safely.

Thank you for driving me.

Were you okay?

Overall... yes... even though I was in a cold sweat here and there...

It's not because of my driving.... You couldn't trust me, that's why...

Yeah, I felt that.

Thanks!... Be careful going home.

I'll just go the same way I came.

Isn't that Mi Soo?!

That was Mi Soo, wasn't it?

Yes.

I mean, why would Mi Soo pick you up?

It seems it bothered her that I have to take the bus.

Why is she making you sick and giving you medicine afterwards?

Ta!

Exactly, and this one?

Sa!

Ah, you're good at this!

And this one?

Ka.

I'm home!

Come in, come in.

You came back?

Hmm. Did you learn a lot, Joon?

yes~

Ta, sa, pa!

Aigoo, you already learned that much?!

He learned it fast.

Isn't it affecting your work, with an arm like that?

Its not that big of a deal but it is uncomfortable

You need to get better soon.

Ah, you're back! Sit down!

Please sit down!

Oppa, here. I drove well.

You went so far as to borrow oppa's car, where did you have to go?

Just somewhere.

Hyun Woo came to bring back your cell phone.

Came here and then left again? When?

A little while ago.

Did you notice you lost it?

yes

When I was your age I didn't even know what it was like to forget.

Our mommy forgets things all the time!

I don't know why, but my memory's elusive sometimes.

They say younger people can be more forgetful...maybe from all the instant food these days.

Agassi...here...

Mom, you must be so happy today. You always going on about how great it would be if oppa made it.

Mom probably doesn't even realize if she's putting rice in her nose or mouth right now!

I don't have anything else to say anymore.

Tae Sup, you're such a great son to fulfill your mom's expectations... I guess Hyun Joo will need to do well.

I don't have anything to tell Hyun Ju either. She's good to her husband and lives fully. Then everything else falls into place.

Mother-in-law, I always feel so guilty that I haven't done enough for you... because of my work.

It's fine if you're just fine. I'm fine as long as you're happy.

If they are fine thats all that matters?

Why would I say something I don't mean?

My mom only says what she means.... not just pleasantries..

Alright, Alright

There's a saying... words can cancel even huge debts... If you're going to talk, you should do it pleasantly.

Its okay Grandma, if my mom wasn't the way she was i don't think i would like it.

Well, today's Tae Sup's celebration. Hurry up and eat a lot, Tae Sup!

Alright, grandmother!

Ah, Hyun Woo! Sorry, I just heard you came all the way out here and then just left again.

I didn't know I left my cell phone behind. Did it fall on the seat?

I'm still in the neighborhood. At that café we went to on Christmas Eve.

You didn't go home? You stayed here?

Then why didn't you call?

I'm sorry! Why did you stay here? Did you want to hear me apologize?

You didn't even get to eat, right?

I know you're pretty brave, but how did you manage to drive with those skills at night?

What?

Who's car was that? It didn't look like professor Han's...

Oh, you saw?

That was oppa's car.

You asked to borrow my car for practice because you wanted to drive professor Han around that badly?

Yeah...

Yeah... Do you feel that guilty?

So much that you would want to drive him around?

Hmm. Yeah, I wanted to do that. But... how did you know?

I was on the way from dropping off your cell at your house.

I saw you driving professor Han around.

You did?

I felt strange... I don't know how to explain what I felt...

Do you like professor Han?

I think I do.

No... I do.

Do you love him?

Why is it so hard to say?

Yes

Since when?

Since when?

Hyun Woo...

I feel like I'm being interrogated..

i want to know

Does he know, too?

Does he love you, too?

Does he?

I don't think he's sure of his feelings yet.

That's why you didn't notice me....

So...

to you, there was no me.

That's why I was so invisible to you?!?

That's why I didn't matter?

Why are you here?

What were you going to do if i wasn't here? you didn't even call.

If you weren't here i would've just left.

sushi, i thought you would've been starving yourself so i specially ordered it

I just came because i thought there'd be some wine here already

There's wine right?

If i didn't bring food, were you gonna starve yourself?

I don't know

I would've just probably eaten anything

I didn't have much of an appetite yet so i didn't eat

It was good that i came, right?

yea, thank you

I didn't know you really well as I thought...

You were bigger than life...

What are you talking about?

You, in my memory, were an amazing kid.

strong, confident, independent,...... All the guys, were intimidated to approach you...

Its not like that? or is it changed.

i don't know which one it is but its like an empty peeling

It's like there's nothing there

I didn't know you had such low self-esteem...

That's a harsh thing to say...

Look at yourself now, was that guy really worth it?

Just stop, I get what you're saying

I still haven't taken my cast off, but I can type slowly.. so I am writing you today...

Thank you for today

I know you must have needed alot of courage to be able to drive after not driving fo so long... thank you so much

I don't know if it's because I was so nervous.... but my body feels like it was beaten.

Thank you for trusting me with your life.

I didn't think of it that way...

Don't worry about it anymore, I'm fine.

Sleep tight

Hyun Woo.... three times last night... twice today... I've called you five times already, and you haven't answered.

Is your phone broken?

Hurry up and let me know.

(I am unable to take your phone call. Please leave a message after the beep.)

You're not answering my calls.... or my texts.... What are you doing?

Where are you going so early?

...just some place...

Mom...

I going to work starting today.

What are you talking about.... work?!?

It's a potato soup restaurant... I'm just going to work around lunch time, from 10 - 2.

And maybe a little more if they get busy...

What kind of work will you be doing?

In the kitchen.... doing dishes, washing vegetables, preparing rice...

Do you think you can handle it?

Who can't do dishes?.... It's something I do every day.

It's just that there's a lot of it...

When did you think of doing this?

I'll have to do something... what can I do?... Yun Mi will be starting school.

I can't always ask you to do everything for me.

I'll have to send Yun Mi to school myself.

Aigoo... it breaks my heart...

Don't worry, Mom... I'm going to straighten up and work hard. You don't think I could handle it?

Okay... go ahead... you should.

There's nothing you won't be able to do....when you think about raising your kids.

Alright, Mom.

I'll be back later...

Wear warm clothes before you go...

Alright...

Dear Lord, "Is it okay for me to love Jo Mi Soo?"

"No, he can't."

"Please refuse his request!"

You know how much I love her, don't you?!?

It's for real this time.

So could you help Mi Soo love me in return?

Jang Hyun Woo, what's going on?...

Why aren't you answering?

I think I've called you ten times already.

What's wrong with you?

I was going crazy.... Why weren't you answering the phone?

You've changed your caller ring tone...

Hurry up and tell me why you're not answering your calls...

I didn't hear the phone.

Where are you that you couldn't hear?

I'm kind of far away.... I'll call you when I get back to Seoul.

You're not in Seoul?

You're really acting strange.... you'd better call me when you get back to Seoul.

You'd better prepare yourself for me to kill you!

I don't have any experience in writing ads...

I called you because I know you can do it.

I wouldn't otherwise...

I'm not that incompetent...

Our director's expectation of you is too extreme...

It's not that.. I need you to take the lead on the advertisement campaign.

Everyone is overbooked... that's why I need you.

What's the concept?

Have faith... in the power of coffee!

Take some photos... and write the summary as if that person wrote it.

I need six for for the next issue...

Why don't we just make some space for Mi Soo in our office?

I think Jung Hyun ssi will be opposed to that idea...

With Mi Soo close by, will he work that hard?

I need more rice...

Yes... it's almost ready. I'll get more for you.

Ajumma... don't forget to wash more rice as soon as you make some.

Yes, I know.

Didn't I tell you to clean off the scraps before the machine gets clogged?

I know... you told me.... but there were too many dishes today.

Aigoo...

Ajumma...

Yes.

I'll refill it right now.... The business must have been really great today!

No, this won't do. Come Out!

We have to drink something first...

Don't worry... we'll just step outside for a minute...then come back to have coffee.

Why didn't you answer my calls?

Because of you, do you know how much I worried?

I thought you might have had a car accident, you jerk!

I love you, Mi Soo!

I said, I love you.

What's wrong with you?

I thought... we were just friends...

but...

... and I'm not sure when I started...

... thinking of you as a woman...

Hey!

Why are you doing this?

Hyun Woo...

I didn't realize I would be confessing this to you so soon...

Please..Hyun Woo...

You...

If you hadn't told me that you love Han Young Min...

I may not have become so certain of my feelings...

I... you... I want you to be my best friend...

I'm not asking you to accept my feelings for you.

I'm telling you to so that you know how I feel about you.

Just remember that I'm always by your side.

Don't stay away from me because of my confession...

Of course, I wouldn't let you do that anyway.

Hyun Woo

I don't want to lose you.

Don't Worry..

That won't happen...

I'm not going to lose you.

But, Hyun Woo...

Let's stop here for today...

I told you that I don't expect you to accept my feelings...

I'm just asking that you remember that I'm by your side.... You can't even do that?

That's okay.... Let's stop talking about this.

Let's stop... and go in and have coffee.

Yun Mi... Yun Ji... Your mom is home!

Mom.... Mom...

My daughters...

What do you think I brought for you?

Soon dae...

Something less expensive...

Ddeokbokgi?

You only know about soon dae and ddeokbokgi?

Let's go did Grandma come back? No

Mom, I'm home...

What did I buy?!?

Roasted sweet potatoes...

Have some..

Share and have some.

Mom....

Grandma came back

Grandma...

She's taking a nap.

Grandma, have some sweet potatoes.

How was work?...

There's a dish washer.... it's no big deal...

You said you have to wash vegetables, right?

Yes... and the rice, too.

Aigoo... I'm sure there's a lot of work for you...

Mom, don't worry... I'm not the "old" Jo Mi Sun. Have faith in your daughter.

Okay... weather is getting colder. Make sure you dress warmly.

And make sure you wear cloth gloves inside the rubber ones.

Are you sharing your "know-how's" with me?

If you're tired, you should go to the spa.

I don't need to, Mom. I didn't work that much.

Delicious, aren't they?

Eat a lot...

Didn't you start dinner yet?... I'm so hungry.

Have some sweet potatoes.

No, I'm not going to have any. I want to have warm rice with the new kimchee.

It would be good to have pork w/that.... but your mom is frugal with the groceries..

Why do you say it that way?

I know you have to make ends meet.... and I feel guilty asking for more when I'm living here w/you.

You do, Mom?

I usually have a lot of pride, so I don't like to say such things... but I feel bad that I'm not contributing...

I didn't know you felt that way...

Are you going to the market to get pork?

I have to... when my mother says that she wants some.

Hey... all of you.... you're going to have pork tonight... because of me!

Our Grandma is too funny!

Call your Aunty right away...

Why, Grandma?

She has to come in soon, so she can have the pork with us...

Did you have a good time?

Yes, I was really happy.

Did you, really?!?

Would you mind meeting my kids some time?

Of course.... since they're your kids.

It might sound a little strange...

I defer to their wishes...

I think that it's more important to find a mother for my kids.... more than a wife for me.

Of course... That's important. I understand.

That's why I want to get their opinions.

Yes... don't worry.... I'll meet them. Just let me know when.

You shouldn't be so nervous to ask me... That should be a given.

So... you think I might be a good marriage partner to you?

Of course... you're financially well-off...you're also well-mannered...

Thank you.... thank you...

I'm not in any position to be picky...

I don't have enough money to buy a ticket back to the states... or even a place to go.

It's not time yet...

You're home!

yeah

Where have you been all day?

... at the Yang Pyung Statue Park...

...alone?!?

yes

You mean you were there all day by yourself?

I met Mi Soo earlier.

What did you do with Mi Soo?

What I did was...

I confessed my love for her...

but she turned me down.

It's not that funny... that joke.

I'm not joking. It's the first time in my life telling a woman I love her.... but she only thinks of me as a friend.

Really?....

You told her you love her?

I did, but she turned me down.

Maybe it's because she figured that you're above her means....

Mom...

I'm relieved..

I think that's for the best...

I'm sorry.... but that's how I feel.

BUT... how could she refuse such a handsome young man like my son?

...even though I'm thankful that she did...

Mom, Mi Soo is a really good person.

I know that, too.

So you should be a good friend to her...

But I don't think she's a good match for you...

...and not as my daughter-in-law...

She's just a good friend to you...

Is it because she's from a poor family?

That's not the only reason.... but she doesn't seem to have many other assets...

Don't you think so, too?

Your husband is home...

Okay.... I'll be down.

Aren't you coming down?... Your dad's home.

I'll be down soon.

Hyun Woo....

You're not depressed that she turned you down, are you?

Not really... but it's not a great feeling...

Then...that's alright...

I'm home!

Something came in the mail from the US... It's on your desk.

Yes.

I just need to take this to the family registry for processing.

Then, he'll be your son officially?

Yes, it will be added to our records.

Okay, go ahead....

Yes.

Finally, our Joon will be Han Joon.

And, Grandpa, I received a notice to attend an interview panel with the university.

but I turned it down.

Does that mean you're going to give up being a professor?

Yes.

That's what you should do.... the right thing to do.

Even though it's a good thing to teach, you'll keep running into her.

You did the right thing,..

I'm going to finish lecturing before the new semester begins...

You should do that...

Yes.

What?... You're going to resign at the school?

Yes.

What about the full time teaching position?

We finished our discussion...

I turned it down.

Do you know how difficult it is to get that offer?

Once you're a full-time professor, then you'll be tenured with more opportunities for promotions...

I told you the bus has left the station already.... (end of discussion)...

Father-in-law... his position was not offered by politicking or paying off someone... just his abilities...

Why should he give it up?

It would still be too awkward for him...

Other people want positions like that.... trying to bribe someone to get one...

Did you see things like that?

I didn't.... but...

Then you should just stay quiet.

Yes.... I'll keep quiet.

What's this?

It's Joon's paperwork from the states...

Are you finally making Joon your son officially?

Why don't you go and see if dinner is ready?

Yes... dinner...

Honey... are you ready?

Now your name will be "Han" Joon...

Han Joon.

It's not Han Joon.... It's just Joon.

"Han" is your last name/surname... and Joon is your first name.

What is it?

I'm not Joon?!?... I'm Han Joon?!?

Joon is your given name.

It's the name your mother gave you...

Han is your family name...

Grandpa is Han Kyu Il... Daddy is Han Young Min.

You're Han Joon.

Han is our family name.

Grandpa is Han. Dad is Han, and I'm Han, too. Mr. Han...

That's right, Mr. Han.

I love you.

I'm not asking you to accept my love.

I'm only asking for you to know what's in my heart.

I just want you to remember that I'm by your side.

You're my friend, more dear to me than anyone else.

Don't try to force my feelings...

This is Mi Soo.

Joon's paperwork arrived today from the States. I just need to submit them to the family registry office.

Really?

It's been awhile since I've heard good news.... That's great! Congratulations!

How wonderful!

I knew you'd be the happiest... so that's why I'm calling you.

And I was right!

I'm on my way to school.

...by bus...

It will take you two hours to get there by bus.

You should have asked me.

I would have picked you up... Why didn't you say anything?

...going by bus?

You're so stubborn... What time is the lecture?.... I'll go pick you up.

I said I'm going...

If you're taking the bus, we'll be leaving the office by the time you get back. We can't have our mtg.

What?... He hung up.

Should I go and wait for him?

Hello!
