Saet-byul,

I would like to be

someone special to you, too.

Will you accept my red tulips?

Mr. Choi,

I'll answer that

later.

I'm not dreaming to become someone as great as you are,

but I want to achieve something on my own, too.

I'll answer you when I pass the GED.

Sure. You've waited for me all along,

so I'll wait for you this time.

Saet-byul, don't you ever feel like you've achieved nothing.

You're responsible, loyal, a great fighter...

And you're diligent.

That's why the head office

is naming you as the assistant manager of the store.

Saet-byul, you are already enough.

You're awesome.

Thank you, Mr. Choi.

It's nothing.

How did you prepare all of this?

It's beautiful here.

Did you prepare wine or anything?

What wine?

People usually drink wine when they come to places like this.

- What wine? - Maybe I've watched too many dramas.

You mean something like this?

Is this what you want?

You drink. I'll go and plant the tulips.

You lost.

- I lost again. - Freshen up!

Give it to me.

Welcome.

Yong-pil.

Jang-mi, how did you get here?

I thought of how you said that you run a convenience store in Shinseong-dong.

I also have to ask you a favor before I go to China tomorrow.

What favor?

Don't you think it'd be possible to find Boon-hee

if you look into Busan alumni associations?

Boon-hee again? You have to forget about her.

How can I?

Boon-hee is the person I missed the most

ever since leaving Korea.

Jang-mi, I really don't know what Boon-hee is doing.

I haven't seen Gong Boon-hee for 40 years!

Dad!

Why are you saying that you don't know...

You're here.

Is that your son, Yong-pil?

He's handsome.

Hello.

How do you know my dad?

We were friends in high school. My name is Hong Jang-mi.

Hello.

♪ Alone in the audience ♪

Jang-mi, I love you.

Look at the time.

Jang-mi, come here.

I need to talk to my son about something very important.

Is that so?

Yes. I'll call you right away if I ever hear from Boon-hee,

so just wait for my call in China, all right?

- I think I should stay until I meet... - Go.

Go! You can go now. Bye.

- Go. - Fine.

Gosh.

Dad! I know she's your first love,

but how could you say that you don't know Mom?

It's all a misunderstanding. It's a long story.

Dad, no story can ever justify that. Ever!

Jang-mi used to be best friends with Boon-hee,

but Boon-hee doesn't want to see her!

Why? Why wouldn't Mom want to see her?

Look.

I'm Boon-hee's first love,

while Jang-mi was mine.

Boon-hee and Jang-mi were friends.

If you were Mom, would you want to see Jang-mi?

My goodness.

My best friend disappeared

without leaving a single letter.

You must miss her.

As if. That wench. I already erased her from my head.

Is that the best friend who left

without leaving a single note for Mrs. Gong?

Saet-byul, how do you know about her?

Mrs. Gong told me about her

and how she never wants to see her again.

See? I told you!

Don't you ever tell Mom that Jang-mi is in Korea, okay?

Dad!

Take over my shift. My back hurts.

No, you can watch the store the whole night.

Let's go, Saet-byul.

Mr. Choi, I think...

I think you should tell her...

Why is everyone always on Boon-hee's side?

What did I ever do wrong?

- Mom. - We're home.

Hey.

Why are you two coming together? What about the store?

Dad is going to watch it overnight.

He has been avoiding me lately. Did he do something wrong?

No, nothing. What are you up to?

I heard that taking a foot bath is

the best thing to do to get foot-swelling go away.

You could just buy a foot bath machine.

A foot bath machine? We're still paying the installments for Dad's massage chair!

Foot baths easily cost 200,000 won. We can't afford one.

Actually, I think what you've got is quite decent. It even massages.

Massage? It doesn't.

Of course it does, Mom.

See? Give me your foot. Like this.

I'll massage your shoulders.

- What? - You're so tense up here.

What a luxurious day I'm having today.

Is this my lucky day or something?

I couldn't decide on what to get you with my first pay as an advisor,

but now I know. I'll get you a foot bath.

- Really? - Yes. Some shoes as well.

No, you can't buy me shoes.

I might run away if you do.

I'll buy you shoes when I get my first pay as the assistant manager.

What? You're going to be an assistant manager?

I've handed the ownership of the store to the headquarters.

They offered to promote Saet-byul as the assistant manager.

Really? That happened?

That's amazing! That's great news.

Congratulations, Saet-byul.

- Thank you. - That's awesome.

Goodness.

What a great man Mr. Choi is.

He's a perfect son.

And a perfect man.

I would like to be

someone special to you, too.

Will you accept my red tulips?

I've been dreaming about that moment forever.

Why couldn't I answer him right away?

I took

slow steps toward Mr. Choi, one step at a time,

and I've reached my goal now.

So, why?

Why do I feel as scared about this as I am happy about it?

Aren't you hungry? I'm going to have some ramyeon.

- Gosh, you startled me. - Saet-byul.

I'll make you some good ramyeon.

Why are you two coming out from there at the same time?

- I'm getting some water. - I'm going to the bathroom.

I see.

When Mom heads back to her room,

I'll make you some delicious ramyeon with an egg on top.

Great. Make sure to pop the yolk.

Pop the yolk? It's so much better when it's not popped.

- Make the noodles chewy. - What are you two doing?

- Are you two dancing? - Yes.

- We're dancing. - Yes.

Look at that. You got the beautiful dance lines from me.

Saet-byul, when I was young, I was quite the dancer.

♪ When will you and I meet ♪

Dance, Saet-byul!

♪ And make history ♪

I'm a great dancer myself.

Look at that.

Mrs. Gong, aren't you going to sleep?

I'm feeling perfectly rejuvenated

after that shoulder massage you gave me!

But you have work early morning tomorrow.

You should sleep.

Why? Are you two going to do something after I sleep?

- We're going to sleep. - We have to sleep, too.

- Of course you have to. - Yes, we do.

You should go sleep. I'm going to watch some more TV.

What? Okay, I'm going to bed now.

- Goodnight! - Goodnight.

Goodnight! And come out if you get bored.

- Sure. - ♪ Love doesn't come easy ♪

♪ Not everyone can fall in love ♪

Hold up.

We need to come up with signs.

"Signs"?

What signs?

Just to be safe.

What's your favorite fruit?

Grapes!

Grapes

Okay, then. From now on, "Grapes" mean "Let's meet."

What?

And "Strawberry" means "No." Is that okay?

Strawberry

What a kid you are.

These are our signs, okay?

Strawberry!

I'm going to go to sleep now.

Goodnight. Grapes tomorrow.

Grapes.

He's so cute. Grapes!

Grapes! Goodnight.

Grapes? Grapes.

This is adorable!

This is the franchise contract. Take a look.

Franchise contract, GS Retail

Mom, this part is about the opening date of the store.

The hours of operation are stated right here.

Here.

- Hold on. - Okay.

Hey, Seong-tae.

What? The Jangchung-dong branch?

I'm...

I'm busy with something.

All right, then.

Mom, I have to get going. Something urgent came up.

- You're leaving? - Yes.

I've looked over the contract,

and Director Yoo here will explain the rest to you.

Don't worry, you can go.

Mrs. Gong and I will take care of the rest.

Sorry about that.

Okay, then.

Assistant Manager Jung, have a great shift.

See you later, Advisor Choi.

- I'll be back soon. - Come back quick.

Grapes!

Grapes? What?

I was wondering

how Dae-hyun has been at work.

I hear that he has a lot of responsibilities.

The head office has a lot of regrets.

We regret not recognizing such a great man earlier.

You scared me.

My goodness!

I didn't know you could joke like that.

You scared me for a moment.

And this is for you.

Here.

Look at that!

My goodness.

Will you look at that?

Isn't this crocodile leather?

Do you like it?

Of course I do!

This costs 400,000 won at least, no?

You've spent quite a bit of money.

Or is it 500,000 won?

- No, it's... - Was it 300,000 won? Let's hear it.

You've spent so much money.

This bag must be so expensive.

It goes perfectly with my cardigan today.

- Do you like it? - Are you kidding?

Seems like quite a few crocodiles went into making this.

Saet-byul.

I wanted to thank you.

I forgot about how valuable of a man Dae-hyun was,

and you reminded me of that.

Don't you think you realized that a little too late?

We'll see about that.

Lifestyle Platform, GS25

See about what?

Hello?

Yes, I'm Jung Saet-byul.

Sorry? What did you just say?

Perfect, Combo

Yes!

- Move over. - Who are they?

What was that?

5, 6, 7, 8.

Perfect, Combo

They're so good!

They're good!

Look at them.

I'm sorry I embarrassed you.

I'm sorry. It was all me.

Let's practice some more

and crush them into pieces.

Yes, let's!

Oh, my!

- Are you okay? - There was a mosquito.

Sorry, it's my reflex.

- I think my jaw is dislocated. - Fire Volcano,

there's a place that I really wanted to go with you.

- Where is it? - Give me your hand.

What do you think? It's fun, isn't it?

- Is this where you wanted to bring me to? - Yes.

This is so fun. Here I go.

Welcome. Namaste.

- Namaste. - Namaste.

Are you guys friends?

- Namaste. - Namaste.

- You must be older, then. - Namaste.

Namaste. Why is she getting mad at me?

The point isn't

how well you do this. It's how you try your best.

Open up to each other. And let your hearts communicate together.

- Namaste. - Namaste.

All right. Start.

Come to think of it, we don't know each other's name.

I'm Han Dal-sik.

I'm Hwang Geum-bi.

By the way, when will we make our relationship official?

Today.

Geum-bi.

Please focus on yoga here. Namaste.

- Namaste. - Namaste.

- All right. Turn. - Go ahead.

Keep turning. Go ahead. Turn.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Did they really catch him? - Yes. We're good now.

- Is everyone here? - Yes.

First of all, congratulations.

We caught Kim Man-bok of Manbok Real Estate.

Will we be able to get all of our deposits back?

He didn't spend it all?

That's not what he did.

He made an investment with some of the money in a con artist.

But the con artist tried to take a bigger cut,

so he actually gave Man-bok back his investment and the interest.

And that's when we caught him.

Anyway, you will get your deposits back after going through the protocol.

- Please wait here. - Thank you.

At last! I won't have to live off my friend anymore.

I should move out of my parents' house too.

Where did you stay, Unit 1006?

Me? I was staying at the convenience store owner's house. I work for him.

I stayed with his family.

Gosh, it must have been so uncomfortable for everyone.

No, no. Everyone was so nice to me like I'm their family.

But still, you're a stranger to them.

They didn't show it, but I bet it was uncomfortable for them.

Lifestyle Platform, GS25

I had to be careful at my parents' house.

They must have been really patient with you.

Daily Guru!

(Today's Horoscopes for Saet-byul)

If you're not sure if you should go for it, I say go for it.

If you hesitate, it will make you regret even more.

"Regret even more"?

Today's Horoscopes for Saet-byul

Gosh, should I move out?

Gosh, should I not? Should I just move out?

Go where?

- Why are you so startled? - Mr. Choi.

Where would you go?

What is it? Where are you going?

Well, actually, you know...

I...

- I... - You...

I...

"You"? You...

I want dumplings!

- Dumplings. - I want dumplings.

You took a long time to say that to me.

You must want to eat really good dumplings.

- Yes. I want huge dumplings. - Huge dumplings.

Okay. Instead of dumplings,

I'll treat you to a really delicious meal.

- A delicious meal? - Yes.

What is it?

Ultimate Cheese Pockets

- Dig in. - Thank you for the food.

Mr. Bae Geun-sik will be the manager of our branch.

- Mr. Huff-and-Puff? - Yes, him.

If something is bothering you or if he bullies you,

talk to me. I'll show him my teeth. Okay?

I feel reassured. You're really in my corner.

Of course, I am.

- Really? - Of course.

This is why I'm buying you this delicious pizza.

Perhaps, getting her approval might be harder than getting my dad's.

This feels like I'm standing right before getting CBR training in Nonsan Bootcamp.

My gosh, no way! Hey, did you fulfill your military duty?

Four weeks. It was only for a month.

That's so cool!

Get your spirit of a soldier and charge forward!

Left foot, left foot, left foot...

I can't go.

My soldier, trust me and follow me.

Saet-byul!

- What's happening? - Saet-byul.

- Hey, what happened? - What's going on?

Saet-byul.

Hey, why are you bullying her? Let go of her.

Why are you hitting him?

Hey, what's wrong with you?

- Hey... - Dae-hyun!

What is that? What?

- What? Did the glue get in there? - Why?

Something stronger is binding us.

What? Oh, the superglue?

- Gosh, you'll get hurt. - You shouldn't play with that.

Bring me a bottle of acetone.

- Who did this? - Hey.

- Hey. - This is...

- It's destiny. - Who's Destiny?

- It's our destiny! - It's our destiny!

The fan who always left the first comment on my webtoon

wasn't a man who sounded like a woman. It was Geum-bi.

Saet-byul, the superglue isn't binding us together. Our great love is.

Like this.

My Dal-sik was the webtoon artist of "Her Reggae Boy".

The moment we found out about each other, this caveman became a romantic.

This scary horse became the sweetest girl.

Hey. Wait, then...

Dal-sik, when did you make a girlfriend?

Dae-hyun, destiny can be such a fascinating thing.

I guess we are all destined to have our soulmate.

My gosh. Right.

I'm sure that's true. There's destiny.

Hey, what's going on with you and Saet-byul?

Well, you know...

You. Are you dating her behind my back?

That's not it.

Listen. Saet-byul likes you, and you like her. What's the problem?

Right. That's true.

I get the feeling that things will work out between you two.

Then, the four of us should have a party. You can set up the party.

Hey, this isn't right.

If the company is taking over the store, why would we clean up?

You know that I worked at a moving agency before I got into insurance, right?

Some people clean up the house because they lived there.

Some people leave behind a huge mess because they wouldn't be living there.

Which one leaves a better impression?

The new manager will clean it himself anyway.

We might not think the store isn't messy because we see it all the time.

But a new manager is bound to find some dirty corners.

We're handing over the store because Dae-hyun became an executive.

If we just work a little bit, it will make a good impression on him.

Dae-hyun, are you going to work? Come on, say something.

Well, I'll do whatever Mom says.

Since this is a family occasion, I'll call the company and take a half-day off.

- He's such a good son. - You brat.

But you have to promise me one thing.

Promise what?

You have to stay until we finish.

You can't tell your client that you'll be there soon.

If you do that, I'll kill you.

Gosh, he's going to kill me. How scary.

All right. Sure. Don't worry about that.

Even if my client begs me to come,

I'll kick my client like this. Okay?

Gosh, Yong-pil is so scary.

Fine. Let's do it.

I should tell him that the police caught Man-bok.

But I didn't get my money back yet.

When I get the money back, I'll tell him then. Okay. Great.

Yes, that's the right thing to do.

Hello.

- Saet-byul. My Saet-byul. - Saet-byul.

Hey.

Why are you all here together? Are you guys going somewhere?

No, we're not. We're going to clean the whole store today

before the company takes over.

I see. The store?

My gosh, no one is going to appreciate our effort.

Nonsense.

But the dust will feel our effort, right?

Saet-byul, you can go home now.

We'll clean this place as we run the store today.

My gosh, no. I should help too. I'm an employee here.

Yes. That's right. The three of you can clean, then.

- I'll go now. - Choi Yong-pil.

Give it back. I'm going to work so hard!

- Let's all clean the store together. - Sure.

- I'm getting a call. What is this? - All right.

Yes, Ms. Kim from the wallpaper store.

I see. Your daughter-in-law is pregnant?

Congratulations. Yes.

Of course. We have one for babies.

Is that so?

Then, why don't I pay you a visit now?

Okay. Hey, I'll go make some money. You stay here.

- Bye, ma'am. - Mom.

Did you see that? She already pulled this stunt several times.

She does this all the time!

- I'll help out. - Will you? Okay. Work hard.

Mrs. Gong. Hold on a second.

- Yes? - My daughter-in-law is with me.

She says that the policies are cheaper online.

Pardon?

I'm sorry. I'm getting a call.

I'll call you later.

I think this woman must be out of her mind.

Hello.

- Hi. - Hi.

I thought you already left.

I was wondering if there might be any ways to find Boon-hee.

So I stayed one more day.

I'm on my way back to the airport. I wanted you to keep this for me.

What's this?

It's the letter I wrote for Boon-hee as soon as I left Busan.

- (To Gong Boon-hee) - But it was returned to me.

If you happen to reach her, could you give this for me?

I don't think I'll ever come back.

- Dad. - What?

- Mom. - Your mother?

- What do we do? - To the storage room!

You send her back home. You, come with me.

Come here. It's okay. Come here.

- Where are we going? - Come here.

- Why are we going inside? - Go inside.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Well...

- What is it? - My wife is here.

Then, let me say hello to her.

No. It's better that you don't.

She'll leave soon.

But why are you so nervous?

I don't know. I have no idea.

My gosh, that awful woman.

- Ma'am. - Hey, Mom.

What? Why are you back so early?

Did Yong-pil take off already?

- Yes, he left. - Yes.

He left?

That sly jerk. That's all right. Fine.

I wanted to clean the place with or without him today.

Let's start with the storage room.

- No! - No!

You startled me. What's wrong with you?

Just because. We can clean the storage room later.

- We should do it. It's too much for you. - Right.

Mom. Oh, right. You should go see your client.

You brat.

What client? I just lost my client.

Move out of my way. I'll...

- No, Mom. - Are you mad?

Why do you keep stopping me?

- What is it? What's wrong with you? - My gosh.

Want a hug or a piggyback ride?

- What's wrong with you? - Ma'am!

What's wrong? What's gotten into you, Saet-byul?

- Mom. - Move out of my way.

- No, I... - Ma'am.

There's no need to come in here. I finished cleaning.

I thought you already left. What a surprise you're still here.

You should go home and rest up. I'll take care of the rest.

- What? - You're the best. All right.

I see. You finished cleaning there?

If you're done in there, let's clean the windows over there.

- Let's go. - I'm all right.

What? Go and clean the windows.

Let's go and clean the windows.

- Okay. - Let's clean them.

- The windows. - You clean the windows.

What is it? Are you hiding a baby in there?

What are you trying to eat without me?

If it's something good, you're dead meat.

Let's see. What do you have here?

You're dead meat. What...

Who are you?

My gosh. Oh, no. This is bad. Goodness.

Hello.

I'm Choi Yong-pil's friend. My name is Hong Jang-mi.

Jang-mi?

My dear, let me explain.

Please listen.

Aren't you Gong Boon-hee?

Aren't you Boon-hee?

My gosh.

Darn it.

Did you two get married?

Why did you say you didn't know...

Did he say that he didn't know he married me?

- A few days ago, - Okay.

I came back to Korea from China.

When I asked him about you, he said he didn't know where you were.

I see. You got here a few days ago and met with him?

Did you meet him

at the cafe in a hotel?

That's right.

I heard you moved to China.

Where do you live?

Don't tell her.

Zhangjiajie.

I see. You live in Zhangjiajie.

I didn't know Jang-mi lived in Zhangjiajie.

- Boon-hee. - What?

It's been so long.

Jang-mi.

Yes?

I never

met you today.

Let's say we never met.

Honey.

Excuse me. Could you move out of my way?

Honey.

My dear.

Boon-hee.

Gosh.

Darn it. Oh, no.

What do I do? I'm in big trouble.

Gosh. Darn it!

Tented Bar

At times like this, I should turn off my phone.

But I'm worried my clients might call.

How pathetic that I can't even turn off my phone whenever I want.

Hello?

Ma'am, it's me. It's Yeon-joo.

Hey. Why are you calling me at this hour?

I called you to let you know that the contract has been finalized.

We'll wire the money next week.

I see. You could have called Dae-hyun.

Okay. Thank you.

Bye.

Hey, I want one more bottle of soju.

Ma'am.

Hello?

I want to drink soju with you too.

What?

I'm off work now. I'm passing through Shinseong-dong.

Just one drink, please?

You wouldn't like to drink at a place like this.

Where are you?

I'll tell you what I think after I see it for myself.

- All right. - Will Mrs. Gong be all right?

She won't answer our calls.

My dad has broken her heart so many times before.

But my dad crossed the line today, didn't he?

Saet-byul, don't worry. She'll be home soon.

- This looks good. - Try it.

It tastes good, right?

See? I told you I cook great instant noodles.

You have my approval.

Tomorrow, I'll buy you something even more delicious.

Saet-byul, now that I'm about to hand over my store,

it feels a little weird.

We wouldn't have met if I didn't run the store.

And without you, the store wouldn't have done so well.

So to sum it up, you and I were

able to do that thanks to the convenience store.

Grapes.

My gosh, you're so childish. Strawberry!

No, don't say that! Let's just go with grapes.

- Come on inside. - You need to take your shoes off.

- Okay. - Careful.

Mrs. Gong.

This is our house, Yeon-joo.

- Come inside. Let's drink some more. - What's going on? Hey, Mom.

- What... - Hey, Dae-hyun.

I called her for something, and we ended up drinking together.

- Can you take this? - Oh, okay.

My goodness. Come here, my son.

Dae-hyun, you're such a kind son.

You're the best.

Mom, why did you drink so much?

I was in a good mood today, so I had a few drinks.

My son made my dream come true.

Your salary is over 100,000 won, and you're an executive at a big firm.

♪ You have no idea how happy I am ♪

♪ You have no idea how happy I am ♪

Dae-hyun, listen to me.

I don't need a husband.

And I don't need any friends.

All I need is you.

All I need is my son, okay?

- Mom, are you okay? - Why wouldn't I be okay?

Dae-hyun, I came home in a really nice car.

Yeon-joo, gave me a ride. Hey, Yeon-joo.

Yes, I'm right here.

My goodness gracious. Yeon-joo, thank you so much.

Yeon-joo, thank you so much for drinking with me today.

No, I should be the one to thank you. You should call me often from now on.

Okay, sure.

Dae-hyun, I owe her a lot. She did so much for me today.

Now, you should go and take her home.

Escort her to her house. Hurry.

Ma'am, I'll be off now.

Yeon-joo. Goodbye, Yeon-joo.

- I'll see you again. - Okay.

Bye.

Okay, bye.

Ma'am, you should lie down.

- There you go. - Okay.

Ma'am, it's time for me to work at the convenience store.

You should teach Mr. Choi a big lesson once he comes home.

Okay. Yeon-joo.

Yeon-joo, thank you so much.

I hope you do your best to help Dae-hyun out.

I never got to live the life I wanted.

But I want Dae-hyun to live differently.

That's my dream.

Okay, Yeon-joo? Please do me a favor.

Thank you. Thank you, Yeon-joo.

- Dae-hyun. - Yes?

About yesterday...

Well...

Yeon-joo told me

that she wants to apologize, but apparently, you won't let her.

I'm sure Yeon-joo worked really hard

to make the company take over our convenience store.

She also took good care of me yesterday.

You should meet up with her

and let her apologize.

And thank her for what she did.

- Mom. - It's best to get that kind of stuff done

as fast as possible.

You should meet her today if you have time.

I have dinner plans today.

I'm totally fine. You should listen to your mother.

He promised to treat me to a nice meal to cheer me on

saying he feels a bit sad to let go of the store.

Saet-byul.

It's okay.

Yes, do as I tell you.

You should meet her today, Dae-hyun.

- Mr. Choi. - Hey.

- Here. - What's this?

You should give this to Mrs. Gong.

They're white tulips, and they symbolize "Forgiveness".

- Saet-byul, thank you. - No problem.

But I don't know if the flowers will be enough.

Don't worry.

I have something even better up my sleeve.

"Something even better"? What's that?

I met Jang-mi so I could get this money.

I had no ulterior motive.

I told her I run a convenience store, and that's how she came that day.

You told me you didn't want to see her.

That's why I told her that I don't know you. That's all.

I'm serious. Please believe me.

These tulips symbolize "Forgiveness". Saet-byul...

Get them away from me!

Why did you want to go to Zhangjiajie?

Tell me why.

Why don't you just hit me?

Hit me until you feel better.

Forget it. Take this,

go to Zhangjiajie, and get married to her.

Just leave.

Boon-hee, I deserve to die.

You

don't even deserve a beating.

Take all this and get lost.

No, I won't leave.

I'm going to live and die right here.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Then I'll leave.

Boon-hee!

- Let me go. - No, I can't.

Boon-hee.

Would you like another cup of coffee?

No, I'll be leaving soon.

- Then should I throw this away? - Yes.

Okay. Thank you.

Boon-hee.

Boon-hee, I really wanted to see you before I left.

I'm so glad I got to see you like this.

Life must be really easy for you.

You come and go

whenever you want. What a life.

Back then, I had a reason.

- To be honest... - I don't want to hear it.

You told me you wanted to see me before you left.

Well, you saw me, so leave.

Here. Please read it.

I'll be off now.

Boon-hee, I hope you stay well.

To Gong Boon-hee

Eat up.

Thank you for asking me to eat dinner with you today.

No, I'm more grateful for what you did for my mother yesterday.

I'd like to sincerely apologize for how rude my mother was to you

in the past.

I've always wanted to apologize for that.

Didn't you tell me it was a misunderstanding back then?

As I talked to your mother last night,

I got to find out that she's a great person.

I don't want to avoid it saying I didn't know anything.

Now that you're being honest about it, I'll accept your apology.

We promised to be honest to each other about everything,

but I failed to do that.

From now on,

I'd like to treat you with my utmost sincerity.

No.

I just want us to remain as good colleagues.

Dear Boon-hee,

I'm leaving for China tonight.

I'm sorry for not telling you in advance.

I'm in love with someone.

I know I shouldn't do this to my parents,

but I believe they'll forgive me in the future

once they see me happily married.

Boon-hee, I know you probably hate me for disappearing without a word.

But I trust that you'll understand.

I hope you reply once you're no longer angry at me.

International Departures

I will always be waiting.

From your everlasting friend, Jang-mi.

P.S. The photo inside the envelope

is the photo we took last time at the school picnic.

My goodness.

I can't believe I used to be so young.

Boon-hee.

I'm sorry for living such a lousy life.

He's coming. He's coming.

Welcome.

- Saet-byul. - Mr. Choi.

No, wait. Take a few steps back. Go on.

A bit more.

Now, let me disinfect myself.

Okay, all done. It's perfect.

I'm done disinfecting myself. I'm totally clean now.

The ex-girlfriend virus is gone. There's none of that.

Mr. Choi, you forgot one thing.

Give me your hands.

Gosh, you're a perfectionist.

- Okay. - It's best to do things perfectly.

All done.

You came really early.

I came running because I missed you.

Good job.

My dad will be here soon,

so let's go home together once he arrives.

- Sir! - Dad!

- We're home. - We're home.

- What did you eat? - What do you mean?

Did you eat something nice with Yeon-joo?

What did you eat with her?

We had meat.

You bought her beef, right?

Yeon-joo is very classy, so it's better to buy her beef.

- From now on, keep that in mind. - Gosh, forget it.

Dae-hyun, I noticed yesterday

that Yeon-joo is very considerate and warm-hearted.

I did what you asked. I accepted her apology and thanked her.

So that's enough.

It seems like Yeon-joo thinks of you very differently now.

She's not like how she used to be.

Mom, please stop.

What?

I'll go upstairs.

Mom, will you stop talking to me about Yeon-joo?

Why?

Why can't I talk about her?

What do you mean? I broke up with her. It's over.

And did you already forget about what happened in the past?

How could I forget?

How could I ever forget that?

How could I forget the incident that helped me become the insurance queen?

Why would you remember it like that?

Then how do you want me to remember it?

Do you think she was the first person to treat me like that?

That could sometimes lead to good relationships.

That's life.

What do you want? Should I get back with her?

Is that what you want?

Yes. If that happens, I'd ask for nothing more.

I'll even dance to celebrate.

What's the matter with you?

Do you think I'm doing this for myself?

I'm doing this for you.

I'm not telling you to get back with her for no reason.

I could tell that she really wants to get back with you yesterday.

I don't think you'll get dragged around like you did before.

And I feel like her family will treat you with more respect.

Gosh, if you like her that much,

why don't you go live with her instead?

Dad, I'll be off now.

Aren't you going to eat?

No, I'm not that hungry.

- At least have some soup, - No, it's okay.

I'll be off now.

- See you. - Bye.

- Ma'am, have some breakfast. - I told you to get lost.

I'm not kidding. Close the door.

My gosh, what's with the mood?

Grab the opportunity. From Store Manager Bae Geun-sik

- Let's put it here. - Okay.

Why would you bring this outside?

What's this doing in the storage?

Mr. Choi left it there for me.

I'm the manager now.

By the way, I checked the POS machine.

And I noticed that you guys ran the place like a pop-up store.

I want you to forget everything you learned.

- What? - New wine belongs in a new bottle.

I used to serve in the special forces unit.

This is too big.

We'll have to call the district office to throw it away.

Say hello. She's Kyung-hee, an expert in this business.

- Hi, I'm Jung Saet-byul. - I'm Park Kyung-hee.

You're a lot younger than expected.

What year did you enter college?

You're like a rude customer.

What?

You obviously know I didn't go to college.

I didn't even graduate high school.

Kyung-hee worked out for a long time.

You did Muay Thai and what else?

Kendo. Second-degree black belt.

Oh, I see.

I hope we get along.

I advise you to use this strength for work.

We have tons of stuff to do.

Lifestyle Platform, GS25

She's not an easy one.

Crispy chicken fried with fresh oil

This is interesting.

It's 2,000 won.

Assistant Manager.

When you run a convenience store, how you display the items is very crucial.

But the way things are displayed here

is a complete mess.

So what's your point?

What do you think? I want you to redisplay them.

- Sir, we'll return to the head office. - Bye.

- Good work, today. - Good work.

Have a good day.

Store Manager.

- Yes? - What's our new item?

We have something amazing in the fridge.

Really? Let's go and check. Come on.

Let me help you with your studies.

Mr. Choi is watching you. You can do this!

Mr. Choi, it's time for me to get off work.

Okay, Saet-byul. You did great.

I'm home.

Mrs. Gong.

I'm home.

Hey.

Did you eat?

My goodness.

I don't have an appetite.

I'm not hungry at all.

Saet-byul.

What did I do so wrong?

Dae-hyun has never yelled at me like that before.

Saet-byul, listen.

Do you know

what it is that scares me the most?

It's the possibility that my child might end up

living a difficult and poor life just like me.

That scares me the most.

That's why I said all those stuff.

I still can't believe he yelled at me like that.

I mean, it's not like

I have a rich husband.

And...

And it's not like I have a lot of money saved up.

The only person I can rely on

is my son, Dae-hyun.

Ma'am, don't worry too much.

I'm sure he's regretting it right now.

Saet-byul, are you sure this sausage stew will do?

Why didn't you pick something better? I wanted to buy you something delicious.

What are you talking about? I love sausage stew.

It looks so delicious.

- My gosh, you... I can't believe this. - What's wrong?

You just... Gosh, you really know how to eat your sausage stew.

- What? - I'm talking about the instant noodles.

Instant noodles are a must when you eat sausage stew.

Who doesn't add instant noodles?

- Some people don't. - Are you serious?

Yes. It gives me the creeps.

- That's a big mistake. - I know, right?

It's like cooking kimchi stew without kimchi.

It's like doenjang stew without doenjang.

And gochujang stew without gochujang.

Yes, exactly. It's like sundae soup with no sundae.

How was work today?

It's still the same store, so it was pretty much the same.

I'm relieved to hear that.

Saet-byul, the instant noodles are starting to cook,

and it's kind of getting me excited. What do you think I should do?

- It's time to take them out. - Exactly.

- Mr. Choi. - Yes?

You should apologize to your mother.

You shouldn't have yelled at her like that yesterday.

Saet-byul, I always listen to my mother.

But last night was different.

Don't be like that. You're usually not like this.

Saet-byul, about what my mom said yesterday...

Don't take it to heart, okay?

Let's eat.

Mr. Choi, I don't want you to change.

I want you to remain as a kind son.

And I want you to continue to do your best with work.

If you were your normal self, you wouldn't have fought with your mom.

You would've just said "Okay, Mom" and ended the conversation.

Eat up, Saet-byul.

If it weren't for me...

If I wasn't around...

Because that's the kind of person you normally are.

Hurry up and eat. I might finish everything.

I will never be able to find a room that's as cozy and warm

as this one.

Mrs. Gong, thank you.

You're such a great person.

And I don't want to be the one who makes you feel scared.

And sir, thank you so much for everything.

Mr. Choi, when you told me that you like me,

I felt happy and anxious at the same time

because deep down inside,

I knew that things might end this way.

Although it didn't last long, I will never forget

how happy you made me feel.

Thank you, Mr. Choi.

Backstreet Rookie

I think this is the end for you and I.

I'm Dal-sik's dad, Han Man-pyeong.

- That's all our land. - What?

Saet-byul is working at my family's farm.

My goodness!

Do I hear a Seoul dog barking?

This isn't the end for you and I.

This is the start.
