Mi Soo!

Mi Soo, stay there!

Mi Soo!

Mi Soo...

Mi Soo...

I just realized that you could just disappear from my life for the first time.

If something had happened to you right in front of me,

if something had happened...

I don't think I would be on this earth any longer either.

It wasn't because of you, so why?

Even if something did happen to me, it would be my affair, so why bother?

You're that important to me.

Even though I noticed that for the first time today.

Hyun Woo.

I'd never even thought about you disappearing from my life,

I just realized that you could leave my life completely

for the first time.

Hyun Woo.

I know that you're suffering because of me.

I know that you're upset because of me.

Let it go.

Han Young Min. Did you have an affair?

Sang Ho. What's Team Leader Han's bride's name?

Please just stop.

How can I stop, we're talking about cancelling a wedding here.

Did you find out that the bride had a lover?

Don't feed us with this nonsense of some family issue,

and tell us the real reason for cancelling the wedding!

I've been watching you since college, and I've never seen you this happy because of a woman before.

You didn't even look that happy when you were still with that university president's daughter.

You looked so happy with that woman it was almost pathetic.

Sonbei, stop tormenting Young Min.

What kind of 'family issue', what is that all about?

Does it make sense to cancel because of a 'family issue'?!

Is your family so outstanding?

Would you please just live happily for a change?

I'm sorry to have disappointed you. Let's have a toast.

what kind of situation is this for a man like you to be involved in?

Why is your life so difficult?

It's me.

Mi Soo.

Hello?

Did you give it some thought? You leaving a little bit earlier?

I know it's near impossible, but I'm a bit greedy.

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead! Is it good or bad news?

I felt disappointed that none of your friends will be able to make it to the engagement party.

I know that this is a very bad thing to do.

I'm sorry Su Jin.

Let's cancel the engagement.

Can you do that?

Cancel the engagement?

With only two weeks left until the engagement ceremony, you suddenly want to cancel?

I know it's very difficult. .

I'm taken aback, I just don't know what to say...

What is right to ask in this kind of situation?

What's your reason for coming up with something this ridiculous?

The reason!

There's another woman.

Another woman?

Wait a minute... you're not talking about Mi Soo, are you?!

Mi Soo is about to get married. Cancelling your own engagement

because of a woman about to marry another man doesn't make any sense at all.

And this suddenly...

Why aren't you saying anything?

This will be hard on you.

Mi Soo is having a tough time right now.

So I'm planning to stay by Mi Soo's side.

What are you saying?

What is this about a tough time for Mi Soo?

Mi Soo and Han Young Min can't get married anymore.

So, you want to cancel the engagement in order to be by Mi Soo's side because she's suffering.

Because Mi Soo is suffering...

So then what am I?

The person you were going to get engaged to, what am I to you?

I am deeply sorry to...

So... does this mean you two are going to get married?

Since Mi Soo's marriage was cancelled as well?

Mi Soo doesn't know anything about this.

This is just the way I feel, it has nothing to do with Mi Soo.

I'm at a loss for words.

So even if we had been standing at the altar, if Mi Soo was having difficulties, you would have just gone back to her side then as well?

I've never thought of it that way... but now that you mention it, it's possible it could have turned out that way.

I just realized for the first time,

that I am someone who could do that.

You said this was only about the way you feel and that it has nothing to do with Mi Soo, right?

I'm just going to pretend that I didn't hear any of this from you.

Our engagement is still planned for the 10th of April.

Hello?

Mi Soo, it's me, Kim Su Jin.

Ah, yes.

How are you?

I heard the bad news.

And that you're going through a difficult time.

Did Hyun Woo say that?

Yes.

He explained it clearly.

I guess you know everything then.

Hyun Woo wants to cancel our engagement.

He came to notify me earlier today.

He says it's because of you.

He's decided to stay by your side while you're like this.

He must have gone crazy.

Why would he... that doesn't make any sense!

Why would he cancel his engagement because of me?!

You really don't know what that means?

It means he plans to stay by your side as a man, not as a friend.

No, that doesn't make any sense.

Hyun Woo isn't a man to me.

I accept that you're his friend.

I don't bear any grudge.

Hyun Woo is just like this because I'm at the end of my wits right now, so please try to...

So what I'm saying is... if you don't have feelings for Hyun Woo beyond that, please don't meet him anymore.

You can do that for me, right?

Yes, I will.

I will.

I'm in the middle of class. I'll call you when it's over.

Joon, a biography would also be alright.

What's a biography?

Books written about a person's personal history are called biographies.

You know the story of Lee Sun Shin (a famous ancient Korean general), don't you?

Yes.

Lee Sun Shin, ..., those kind of admirable people.

Here they are.

I want to look at this one.

You want to look at this one? Lee Yang Bo?

Got it. What else?

This one.

Yes, Chilmuseon.

Then let's look at these two.

Daddy, I'm going to my room to read.

Alright.

I'll make some delicious coffee.

There's coffee, and music...

...and me.

Everything's here!

Daddy, please read this to me.

Alright.

Up to where did you read?

Father, do you have any appointments today?

I have something to tell you tonight.

Father, I'll see you later at home.

Why are you here?

I don't even remember how I got here.

I sent you a message saying that I'd call you back, didn't I?

I couldn't just wait around.

I met Su Jin.

I kind of guessed that when you called earlier.

Is what Su Jin said true?

Let's go. We'll talk on the way.

Get in.

Let's talk here. I can't go all the way to Seoul.

Yes. It's all true.

I said I couldn't get engaged because of you, because I wanted to stay by your side.

Are you that pitiful?

Do you think I'll change if you just stay by my side?

Who are you to stay next to me?

I didn't make this decision not knowing you'd be like this.

And this is what I feel like, so there's no reason for you to get all worked up like this.

After all, my heart has nothing to do with you.

It's because of me though.

Why are you cancelling your engagement because of me?

What were you thinking to do something like that?!

I'm going to give up on studying abroad as well.

You... why are being like this?!

What am I to do when you're like this?

Please Hyun Woo, go back to where you were meant to be quickly.

I'm not thankful one little bit, so just go back to Su Jin, quickly!

Get engaged to Su Jin and set off for New York.

If you don't, I won't ever see you again. Even if I'm dying, I won't ever see you again!

To be honest, my going on exchange was all because of you as well.

I thought it would be too hard for me once you got married.

What?!

I thought it would be too difficult for me to uphold relations in the name of friendship, so I decided on leaving.

And the decision to leave together with Su Jin

was also made for me to be able to give up on you.

Jeong Hyun Woo!

Why are you like this, why?! Why? Why?

Jeong Hyun Woo, this isn't you being by my side,

in reality you're leaving me.

Since I'm never going to see you again.

Hey...

Let go!

I thought it would be too difficult to maintain a relationship in the name of friendship, so I decided to leave.

The dish over there is "Fire Bone Jjim", and this one is "Special Potato Stew".

Please, have a taste!

Ah, my heart is beating so fast, I can't watch anymore.

The employees from the main office have real poker faces, I really can't tell.

You don't mean you're really trying for first place now, are you?

First place would of course be great!

You're not just competing against me, all of the cooks from all of the other restaurants are trying their best as well!

Hoping for first place is unreasonable anyway.

Why? My heart may not be making first place, but it's definitely hoping for first place.

Hope for things you can actually hope for.

you have to give it a try to know whether it's too far to grasp or within our grasp

Mi Sun!

You're going to have to make more "Fire Bone Jjim".

Why? Does it taste strange?

It doesn't seem like that, it may just be to compare the taste again, I don't really know what they're looking for.

- Make another portion. - Yes boss.

It can't be because it tastes strange...

It won't be that.

Shouldn't I make another portion of "Special Potato Stew"?

They didn't say anything about that.

- Here, cheers! - Cheers!

I think we did it

But they haven't decided on a menu yet.

The final result hasn't been made known yet, but we developed a whole new dish, didn't we?

I've never in my entire life participated in something like a competition or contest.

Things like the sketch or handwriting contests in elementary school...I've never participated in anything!

This is really my very first time!

Even for the fact that I participated in something like this... I'm so excited!

Congratulations!

I wouldn't have been able to without you. Thank you.

I'm thankful to you.

If you hadn't been there, I wouldn't even have thought of doing it.

Everything becomes fun when I do it with you.

Really?

Yes, really.

Thank you.

You've made me so happy by saying it like that. Cheers!

Cheers!

To first place! One shot!

So then, what did you want to say?

Hyun Woo said he had something to say to you?

It must be something important, he even called me at the office.

What is it?

Is it only for your father to hear?

No.

It's something you need to know as well.

But... it seems quite serious.

I must apologize to you both... you're sure to be very taken aback.

Is it something to be that surprised at?

I've decided to cancel the engagement.

Hyun Woo!

What are you saying?

Cancel it?!

I already told Su Jin.

I mean, for you to cancel... did something happen, did you two have a fight?

Go on, tell us!

Nothing happened with Su Jin. It was my decision to do it.

So then what? You say nothing's wrong with Su Jin, so why are you doing this?

I found out that I can't leave Mi Soo.

What?!

You're cancelling the engagement because of Mi Soo?

Because of Mi Soo?!

Hadn't you cleared your heart of everything to do with Mi Soo?

Because she never thought of you as anything more than a friend, so you put an end to it.

I realized that I didn't truly want to get engaged to Su Jin.

Aigoo, what to do...

Are you alright?

Hyun Woo,

are you really such a thoughtless boy?

Do you have no sense of responsibility?

You're not the kind of person who would just ignore your parents, Su Jin and her parents!

How could you do something like that?

This is a choice you made.

I'm very sorry.

I know how irresponsible I'm being, but I'd like to be honest.

Is doing whatever you feel like being honest?!

I thought everything would turn out right if I just gave it my best effort.

I thought I would be able to love Su Jin.

And... I thought I would be able to forget Mi Soo.

What is Mi Soo?

What the hell is so great about Mi Soo?!

Hyun Woo, I'll never grant my permission, so just remember that.

Honey, are you alright?

Let's talk about this again later.

Let's go.

-How could... how could this happen dear? -Calm down honey

Dear,

how could Hyun Woo do something like this?

We misunderstood something dear.

You know our Hyun Woo isn't like that.

How could something like this happen?

This is something I would never have thought of either. I thought nothing was wrong.

This can't be, dear.

This can't be!

Honesty and bravery seem to be the same thing. Sleep well.

Grandmother! I have to go to school!

I have to go to daycare!

Grandmother hasn't come out yet?

She won't come out!

Alright, well then just use that to at least brush your teeth, hurry!

Our toothbrushes are in the bathroom, so how are we supposed to brush our teeth?

Well then just do it with salt today, with salt!

I don't want to!

I'm going to get all blocked up because of you, one has to be able to sit peacefully doing their business!

You can sit for as long as want once we've left for school, can't you?

Do you think it comes when I want it to?

Aigoo, aigoo...

Because of Mi Soo, I...

Grandmother, are you constipated?

Who knows... because of all this...

Sweet potato is supposed to be good for constipation, please eat some.

Agh, whether I have to eat sweet potato or ..., I don't think so.

What are you going to do today?

I'm going to work at home.

Working on that book?

Don't you want to come out to the market with me?

I'll just stay here.

Mom, Grandmother is constipated, make sure to get her some sweet potato while you're out.

I wonder why she is?

Apparently because of Yoon Mi and Yoon Ji and their storming the bathroom.

Mi Soo, could you take care of the side dishes?

Alright.

I just came by Mother.

How could you know what I was thinking? I was about to get in touch with you anyway. Please, sit.

Are you feeling alright?

How could I feel alright...

It's a miracle I haven't fainted yet.

Did Hyun Woo tell you?

I don't even know what this is about.

I know he's my son, but he's not a thoughtless person.

You must have been quite surprised.

Mi Soo is just his friend, they don't have that kind of relationship, I really don't get this all of a sudden.

It could just be natural compassion.

Compassion?

I hadn't know about this, but apparently Mi Soo's planned marriage for this year was broken off.

Mi Soo's?

Yes. So since Mi Soo is having such a hard time, it seems it's causing him to waver.

And seeing as they've been friends for such a long time, I believe he can't sit still and wants to help.

So something happened to Mi Soo?

Yes. Mother, I've decided to just let this slide.

Thank you.

Don't waver and hold on to Hyun Woo tightly.

Of course it's possible he could have doubt in the face of his friend's misfortune.

They've been close for such a long time after all.

I agree.

To be honest, my pride was hurt and I felt cast aside, but I believe that my pride would suffer more if we broke up over something like this.

You're such a smart girl.

You already think beyond your years.

Thank you so much.

Ah, over here.

Did you wait long?

No.

Well, please sit.

What's going on for you to come directly to my office?

You don't even come to the house often.

Are you upset because Soo Jin is rushing things faster than you would like?

Well, do you have a favor to ask of me or something like that?

Go ahead, ask anything!

I...

Yes?

I see that Su Jin hasn't told you anything yet. However, I have spoken to her already.

I went home a little late last night.

Go ahead, tell me.

I'd like to cancel the engagement.

What?

What the hell?!

That is my wish.

Cancel... the engagement?

But why?

What's your reason?

Did our Su Jin do something wrong?

No.

I made this decision.

I don't love Su Jin because of her good points, but...

What?!

You don't love her?!

I had decided to marry her out of practicality, not because I loved her.

You're not the one cancelling it, I'm cancelling it!!

Su Jin is a pearl cast before swine to you!

I can't....

Director Kang! How did you bring up your son to even think of matching him up with my daughter?!

Your son wants to cancel the engagement, but before he does, I'm cancelling!

The engagement is cancelled!!

What?!

Director Kim, I mean, please calm down...

Ah, honey.

Su Jin just came and went. She says she hasn't changed her mind.

She wants to get engaged.

According to Su Jin, Mi Soo was about to get married when something went wrong.

So that's why Hyun Woo seems to be wavering, but since he's going to America, it will all be alright.

I was just notified of the cancellation by Director Kim.

Wait, dear... Cancellation?

he has a very big temper

Su Jin's father called you directly?

I didn't know you were this thoughtless.

How could you create this mess without even blinking?

Were you always this selfish?

I thought it would be best to tell everyone as soon as possible.

Deciding all on your own, without even trying to get others to understand...

Is it really alright to just tell everyone?

I heard that Mi Soo's marriage didn't work out.

Is this wish to be by Mi Soo's side really love?

Or is it sympathy?

Mi Soo.

Don't stay in your room all day, go outside for a walk for a little bit too.

you will get indigestion

I'm fine.

Get up and move around a little, huh?

Would you like to go the market for a bit?

Is there something you need?

Will you go?

Alright, then write down what we need.

Alright, I guess I'll go.

I'm putting in a little extra for you.

Thank you!

Enjoy it!

Yes.

What else do I have to get?

Ah, I have to get some pork.

Thank you very much.
