Original subtitles

Ji Woon, are you in here?

Huh?

Ji Woon!

Ji Woon.

Mr. Kim.

He's boiling hot!

- What should we do? - Let's go to a hospital. Put him up.

I'm okay...

Da Young, the date...

Hey! What are you doing here like this?

- Let's go to a hospital now. - Let's go!

How is he?

He has a cold and fever.

He's a bit dehydrated too.

We gave him a fever reducer and an IV.

He can go home once he's done with the IV.

Is it really just a cold and a fever?

Yes. Make him drink a lot of warm water,

and eat food that's good for the immune system.

- He should rest for a couple of days. - Okay.

Why would he go to a place he hadn't been in five years?

Why was he there like that?

Da Young.

I'll go get some stuff from the cafe.

Please look after him.

Okay, see you.

I can't go back to that place.

I think I'll need a bit...

more time.

Mr. Kim.

- Da Young. - Mr. Kim, how do you feel?

- Where are we... - We're at the ER.

You had a high fever, so Mr. Go and I drove you here.

From my place, you mean?

The door was open...

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

Anyway,

I'm sorry that I couldn't make it tonight.

It's fine. I should've known you were sick.

It's not like you have superpowers.

How would you have known...

I wish I had superpowers.

So I could protect you.

My phone died and...

the charger was at the cafe.

And my body wouldn't move.

I ended up losing consciousness.

I'm sorry.

Nothing happened, right?

I'll tell you when I feel better.

Could I sleep for a bit?

Oh, yes.

You should sleep while you're getting the IV.

No matter what the object is

there's a reason why I have it.

When it's done with its job, it goes away.

It's easy to meet,

but saying goodbye isn't.

It can get lost all of a sudden

and it might get dusty and forgotten.

Sometimes it becomes a milestone

which changes my life after getting the most of it.

[ Your House Helper ]

[ Episode 27 ]

This way.

Are you hot?

A little.

This restaurant is only known to a small group of people.

Since it's an old place, it doesn't have a parking lot.

We have to walk a bit. Is that okay?

Yes, it's okay.

Sang A, this place...

only uses freshly caught squid from the East Sea.

It'll be different from other squid dishes.

- I see. - Let's go.

Do you really like squid?

Yes, I like it.

[ Closed for the day ]

I should've...

called in advance.

I'm sorry, Sang A.

What can you do?

Let's go somewhere else nearby.

Oh, by the way, Sang A.

The car's parked over there.

Let's go this way.

Are your legs hurting?

- I'm okay. - I'll take you to a better place.

This...

is almost the final step.

Sang A.

- Aren't you hungry? - I don't know.

Let's just hurry.

My office is around here.

I'll fix your shoe right away. Wait in the office.

Okay, fine.

It hurts...

What the hell...

Why'd he suggest squid all of a sudden?

[ Squid... Squid... Something not too spicy ]

[ Fresh squid. Can I make it my own? How to make squid sausage. Step 1... ]

[ Better to go to a restaurant. Sokcho? Fresh squid? ]

[ Sebit Island is prettier at night. Hope it doesn't rain ]

[ Would she notice how I feel? ]

Sang A!

Sang A...

What should I do?

The shoes are...

Ta-da! Fixed!

Try them on, Sang A.

By the way, if you wear high heels,

your pretty feet might get ruined.

Anyway, your heels won't break like earlier anymore.

Try them on.

- Thank you. - It's nothing.

Let's go!

There's a place to go to.

Sang A, how about dinner?

How's Ji Woon?

He fell asleep again.

Da Young.

Please take care of him.

- Are you leaving? - I have to close the cafe and

I think Ji Woon needs

you more now.

I brought some stuff with me. Let me know if you need anything else.

- I'll be on standby at any time. - Okay.

Maybe this is how he feels.

Mr. Kim.

Besides that person who left you...

You couldn't fill your heart with anyone else?

Have you...

always been this lonely?

- Mr. Kim. How are you feeling? - Where's Tae Soo hyung?

Did he leave you alone here?

Oh, yes...

Do you feel uncomfortable? Should I tell him to come back?

It's okay. He would be nagging me.

Hold on just a second.

I'll make some porridge. You have to take medicine too.

I don't know if you'll like it though.

But you still have to eat it.

Thank you.

I've always been receiving. I'm glad I finally got to help.

The water's boiling! Hold on a sec.

Sang A.

Are you having ramen?

Here's the squid you've been looking for.

- Yes. - Doesn't it look good?

Yes.

It's really good.

Here you go.

Be careful, it's hot.

Yes, Sang A.

Isn't it good?

Yes.

Sang A.

I'm sorry.

I ruined things...

again today.

Plans don't always work out.

This isn't so bad.

Beer would be perfect right now...

Beer!

You wanted beer, right?

- Go ahead. - Thank you.

Cheers?

Jin Kook.

Yes.

You get anxious when things don't go as planned, right?

Pardon?

Just...

seems like you put in a lot of effort.

Well, yes...

I feel that way right now too.

My mother overprotected me since I was a kid.

Well, even now...

she buys me the yogurt I've liked

since I was a kid.

What? I thought you were a grown-up.

I know.

But...

Since I met you, Sang A...

I think I'm starting to change.

That night at Go Cafe,

I went home thinking I won't see you again.

And finally at that moment

I thought about how I've been living

my life until now.

And when I went to see you for the last time,

I got arrested in front of your house.

It was a disaster.

And I thought...

I finally stepped out of the boundary I've been

trapped in for the first time.

That's what I thought.

I've never thought

I'd get arrested and go to a police station.

Sang A.

You know...

Thanks to you...

I think I'm finding my true self these days.

That's why...

I...

like you even more, Sang A.

Like you said...

Even if things don't go as I planned,

as long as I'm with you

I'll be happy.

Mr. Kim. Are you awake?

Are you okay? How do you feel? Do you think the fever went down?

It did. Thank goodness.

Does it hurt anywhere else?

No.

I should heat up the porridge.

The doctor said you should rest and eat well for about two days.

I tried making the porridge.

I made the easiest recipe since yours was difficult.

Have some of this first. I'll get you something healthy.

It's tasty.

- Really? - Thank you.

Take your medicine.

- Go back to sleep. I'll go and... - Should we...

go out and talk for a bit?

Aren't you curious what happened to me?

Past five years, I haven't opened

the door of this place on my own.

Unless the person who could open the door came back,

didn't think I'd be able to open it.

But opening it was easier than I thought.

That's how I spent the night at this place.

It was the first time in five years.

Sleeping, lying down like that.

And I met two nights ago.

She was smiling like the time I first met her

five years ago.

It felt like she was saying I can rest

and live in peace now.

I stood in the rain for a long time.

And I thought of a person.

Her house is a mess

and she's awkward.

Thank you so much, Mr. Kim.

She's clumsy and makes mistakes all the time.

No.

These were my dad's belongings.

She's so tender that

she can't even throw a paper away if it belonged to her father.

But she still tries to stay strong.

Mr. Kim.

I got really busy thanks to her.

It takes a lot to take care of her.

Actually...

the empty place in my heart left by her

was getting filled by this person without me realizing.

That's how I was able to say goodbye to her.

Mr. Kim.

- I... - I know.

I know that...

you like me.

I wondered if I could accept your feelings for a long time.

I think...

I could give you an answer now.

Da Young.

I'm not that fun and

I'm not exactly friendly.

Would you still accept me as your boyfriend?

Oh, by the way

the porridge you made...

Do you know that

it really didn't have any flavor?

Really?

Why'd you lie then?

I wasn't lying.

What was it then?

It's been a long time.

Eating something...

that was prepared for me at my own place.

That's why I enjoyed it.

Should I make you something else?

Again?

Something else?

Like what?

For example...

For example?

A chicken soup?

No thank you.

Why not?

Da Young.

She didn't come home, huh?

What's going on with her?

- What do you think it is? - Huh?

She definitely said she was meeting Ji Woon last night.

Right.

So?

Could it be?

Did she go all the way in one day by chance?

What?

- No way! - What then? Why didn't she come home?

Maybe something happened.

Like what?

What else could've happened to them?

Let's try calling first.

The phone is turned off. After the beep...

Her phone's off.

What?

Did something really happen?

Ji Woon wouldn't keep her away from home like that.

- Should I call Go Cafe? - Yeah.

Yes, this is Go Tae Soo, the CEO of House Helper.

Oh, yes. So Mi.

Ji Woon? He's not here right now.

Da Young didn't come home last night, huh?

She's probably with Ji Woon.

It's not like that.

Ji Woon was kind of ill last night.

Da Young had to take care of him all night.

He has the flu.

Yes.

Hey. Hi.

Our Mr. Kim is sick. Of course, we should come.

How's Ji Woon?

Be quiet. He fell asleep while waiting for you.

Why didn't you tell us? We were worried.

Can we come in?

But be quiet.

This place...

He really has nothing here.

Seriously.

It's a little too organized.

We shouldn't have brought flowers.

Hey.

He doesn't have anything in the fridge either.

It's not even on.

Wow, seriously...

There isn't even a ramen in the cupboard.

By chance...

There's nothing in the trash bin.

How can he recover like this?

He'd get worse.

I think...

it'd be good if we put a plant by the window.

Is this too big?

We deliver too.

Would you like to take this with you?

Yes, we'll take these.

And we'd like the cherry tomato plant too.

Okay.

- How about this? - Isn't it too dark?

Let's get this one then.

Okay.

- Would this clock look good on the wall? - This picture too.

This will be good since he's a House Helper.

Should we put up curtain too? Sun's a little too strong over there.

It's good for protecting privacy too.

Right, he's a celebrity now.

Let's get dinnerware and a pot too.

We can cook something for him too.

Cook? Are you cooking this time?

- No, you guys will. - What?

You guys passed the first round of Mr. Kim's test.

Why don't you take the second test too?

That's too high.

Quiet.

What do you think of putting this down here?

Hey...

Ji Woon is awake.

I told you to be quiet.

What are you doing right now?

They wanted to keep it a secret until you wake up.

Since you're sick,

all you need to do is sit and eat well.

But this is...

- Da Young, sit down and relax too. - Huh?

Yes.

Both of you must be tired from last night.

Just sit and relax.

- Should we keep going then? - Okay!

- I'll do that. - Can you do it alone?

- Okay, you do it then. - Do something else.

♫ Let go of all the painful memories♫

♫ Erase memories that I hate♫

♫ Will everything be okay then? ♫

♫ Will my day get better then? ♫

♫ When I think about you, I start dreaming ♫

♫ of a better tomorrow than yesterday ♫

♫ Help me have a good day if you're with me ♫

♫ That's good enough for me ♫

It fell off right here.

- Someone help me. - Can't reach it.

Go ahead and have some.

I heard you have to eat healthily.

Don't expect it to be good. Think of it as a medicine and eat it.

Have some, so you can take the medicine.

I don't know if I can keep receiving.

What?

Are you touched, Ji Woon?

You can receive as much as you want.

You did so much for us.

You guys can keep treating him, actually.

He cleaned up Sang A's trashy house.

Right.

You came with me to Tae Hee's engagement party and Sokcho too.

I'm really thankful for that.

Thank you for brightening the dark street.

The fried black beans were so great as well.

I'm really thankful too.

You know it, right?

The fact that all of us got to live together

is all thanks to you, Ji Woon.

I mentioned it jokingly, but...

Ji Woon, you're really a cleaning fairy.

You know that?

It wasn't just our houses you organized for us.

It wasn't me.

You guys did it on your own.

All I did was...

- just clean your houses. - Yes, yes.

There's one more thing.

I think you put an end to Da Young's single life.

What... what? Well...

- She's not saying no. - I was guessing. I was right.

- I'm hungry, let's eat. - Yes.

He has a mysterious look on his face.

Shouldn't it taste good if it's good for you?

Wish I could hide somewhere right now.

Put the lime juice in,

and put 0.5 oz of Blue Curacao.

And 1 oz of vodka.

And ice.

Close the lid.

And shake it.

Here's Blue Lagoon cocktail.

Ga Ram, you're so cool.

Try it. See if it's good.

It's good!

You f***ing pervert.

You crazy bastard!

Noona, you're good.

You're a loser.

You're an a**hole.

Try doing that to me one more time.

I'll twist your mouth!

Yes, do it!

I feel great.

- It feels so satisfying. - But still...

You have to say it in the person's face to feel really great.

Did you get to do that?

When your father hit you.

Actually...

I couldn't do it either.

It might sound weird, but

- because of my mom. - Your mom?

My mom is...

the one who disciplined me.

I rebelled against my father...

I don't have...

- that kind of money. - This bastard...

If you don't pay the settlement, you'll go straight to a juvenile prison.

I'll go if I have to.

Might be better than home.

This bastard... Hey!

If you go there, your life is over.

Can't afford it and I don't have parents to pay for it either.

Just send me to the juvenile prison.

Hey.

Let him go.

The victims got the settlement and dropped the charges.

- What? - Get out. Someone's waiting for you.

- Who? - The one who paid.

It was the first time seeing my mom.

I was told she died as soon as she gave birth to me.

Do you still live with her?

No.

The day I graduated high school,

she disappeared.

She left a letter saying that

she's doing well and I shouldn't worry.

What?

Wherever she is,

or how she's doing...

I still...

haven't heard from her.

But I think she's doing well...

Since she's strong...

and warm.

You had a difficult life.

But you've always listened to my story with a smile.

Thank you so much.

Noona.

By the way...

You just embraced me.

You said that your skin feels

sore when you come in contact with a man.

Are you okay right now?

Noona.

I think you really improved.

I can't believe it.

That's great.

That's really great.

[ Episode 28 will air shortly. ]

By chance...

[ Episode 28 ]

Could you tell me now?

Why you became afraid of men?

When I was in 11th grade in high school,

my mom got remarried.

And I got a stepbrother.

I like you.

Let go!

I've never had that happen, so

I was confused.

Tell her I'm bothering you.

I was so confused that

I wondered if I was attracted to him.

What happened...

since then?

He kept telling me that he likes me.

And he kept touching me too.

Thankfully, he didn't do anything worse.

I didn't want to destroy my mom's happiness.

That's why...

I tried to take care of it on my own.

But I realized later

that it was just me

who was trying.

Is that all you did?

She's still a minor.

Wait a little bit.

I'll tell you what happens when she turns 20.

Daebak.

You're so immoral!

What? We're not related.

Wow, you're scary.

Here, I got the pastry from your favorite bakery.

Then, that person was...

You're right.

Does he...

even realize that he wronged you?

So what did you do?

My grades got poor and

I started working at a nail salon after graduation.

Because of that, I was able to escape...

I mean...

be independent from my family.

I moved back home

after he left to study abroad.

Anyway, Ga Ram.

Thank you.

I feel really great right now.

Way better than when I was yelling.

Really?

I'll pick you up soon. Wait at home.

It's hot out.

- Didn't you read my text? - I did.

But I wanted to see you faster.

You know how to do this kind of stuff, Mr. Kim?

All men know how to do this kind of stuff.

We just don't do it for anyone.

Did you decide where you want to go?

There's a place I want to go with you.

And it's someone I want you to meet.

Someone you want me to meet?

I'm going to show you off in front of him.

Show me off?

Hurry! Let's go!

What? You want me to wear this?

You know why they call them 'refrigerator pants?'

You feel cool wearing them.

You don't get sweaty. They're great.

They're like our uniform. Isn't that nice?

They're way better than sweatpants.

Okay.

I like the fancy pattern.

Mr. Go.

Today's the day.

I'll ask her out.

These pants are really airy.

Aren't they nice?

They don't call them refrigerator pants for no reason.

This kind of pattern feels kind of dated

but that's also the charm.

Ma'am, this is Kwon Jin Kook.

Could you meet me in front of the house?

Please don't tell Sang A anything.

Someone's waiting for me outside.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

So you're asking her out?

Oh, yes.

- Today is finally the day. - Okay.

I'm glad to help you.

I'll make up an excuse so Sang A will go out to the front yard.

Please keep it a secret.

Of course. You're so romantic!

- No... you think so? - Of course.

All women have a weak spot for surprises.

The study I found also says that

85% of women fantasize about

being asked out as a surprise.

You're right. You have our full support.

Oh, right.

What kind of outfit is she wearing?

Today?

It's very fancy. She said she likes it too.

Nice. Everything's perfect.

- I brought bingsu. - Oh, bingsu!

It's so nice and cool.

We're always receiving stuff from you.

Don't say that.

It's not like we're strangers.

Also, there are confetti poppers inside.

Use that later. Bang!

You're so thorough!

Sang A, you should go out to the front yard.

I think Ddobok looks kind of sick.

- Really? - Yeah.

I wonder it's the heat.

Guys, let's have bingsu!

Ddobok!

Are you okay?

Sang A.

Jin Kook.

Why did you have to show up all of a sudden...

He had to come while I'm wearing these.

She is wearing some wild pants today.

Does that body language mean

that she's waiting for something?

Sang A.

Yes.

I love you.

Please go out with me.

Congratulations!

This is...

the first day of our relationship.

Right now,

right here,

and like this?

Pardon?

What?

No, Sang A! Hold on! Hold on!

Hold on!

- I have a bouquet! - Just forget it.

Can I try again?

Sang A, can we say this never happened?

Seriously!

Seriously...

Aigoo, why are you guys so shy anyway?

Sang A! Come out!

You owe him an answer now!

Sang A...

Can we call this off?

Is this where...

your father is?

Yes.

Dad really loved trees.

I wanted to introduce you to him.

I'm sure he'll be so happy.

Well, I don't...

- feel so confident. - Why not?

Oh, right.

You're so cold to me.

And you make fun of me saying I'm wrinkly.

I'm sure he knows it too.

Well, it's not that...

All men get nervous when they're meeting

their girlfriends' parents. Even though we didn't do anything wrong.

I'll ask him to be nice. Don't worry.

Of course, you have to. You're the only one to defend me.

[ February 3, 1963 - September 11, 2013 ]

[ Im Hyun Seok came to this world for a picnic and left. ]

Dad, it's been too long, hasn't it?

I have someone to introduce you today.

Here.

He's my boyfriend.

I'm Kim Ji Woon.

I promised to introduce you first

when I get a boyfriend.

I kept my promise, okay?

Mr. Kim...

cleaned up our house.

Thanks to him, our house is

filled with people like you've always wanted.

It's a very beautifully built house.

Aren't you glad...

that I didn't sell our house?

Didn't I do a good job?

It was a little difficult

but you don't need to worry anymore.

You know how resilient I am.

And...

I'm not alone any longer.

You're happy too, right?

I think...

he likes you too.

Is that so?

Thank you.

Mr. Kim.

You'll help me take care of

my dad's stuff, right?

Of course.

I think I can do it now.

Let me know whenever you're ready.

I'm so hungry.

Let's go get something to eat.

Okay.

What should we eat?

- Pasta? - Pasta?

So humid out there!

- Ga Ram, make me something refreshing. - Yes.

Aigoo.

Anyway, I wonder how the date is going between Ji Woon and Da Young.

I knew they'll end up like that.

Don't you think, Ga Ram?

- Pardon? - Ji Woon changed a lot since he met Da Young.

Love is something

that changes a person little by little.

But they don't realize it.

Are you happy about it?

- About what? - Ji Woon and Da Young dating.

Of course, it's a great thing.

Ji Woon deserves to be happy now.

Oh, Ji Woon!

- Hi, Hyung. - What are you two up to?

We were talking about you.

- About me? Like what? - How was the first date?

I'm tired all of a sudden. I'll go take a rest.

Hey! What did you do?

Do you guys hold hands now?

Huh? Hey!

Ji Woon, where did you go?

What did you do?

What are you so curious about?

Tell me! I want to know!

- We visited Da Young's father. - Huh?

At his burial site.

What?

Did she already introduce you? Wow. At that rate...

you'll send out wedding invitations soon.

- What are you talking about? - Since you began...

just hurry up and get it done.

I really want to...

attend your wedding.

Hyung, we only started dating for a few days now.

- I'm saying just get it done in the first few days. - Seriously!

- Give me my schedule next week. - No.

You can't work yet. Wait until you fully recover.

I'm fully recovered. I'll get sick more if I stop working.

I should clean up Mr. Jang's wife's room tomorrow.

- Huh? - He said he would last time.

- He wants to clean up her room? - Yes.

Hyung.

Did you leave this here?

What is it?

What's this?

It's a picture of So Hee.

- Didn't you put this here? - No!

Why would I?

It feels good to talk about it finally.

Seriously...

Come here.

You should've told us earlier. You're silly.

I'm sorry, So Mi.

We had no idea.

What should we do? Should we take revenge for you?

No, please don't.

It's all in the past now.

I guess...

you were having a difficult time

because of this when we had that fight.

Yeah.

I wasn't myself then.

I'm so sorry.

I noticed that something's going on

but you were avoiding us.

We called ourselves Mongdol trio, but I had no idea what you were going through.

I'm so embarrassed.

You shouldn't feel bad.

How would you have known since I didn't tell you?

And I'm much better now.

Ga Ram helped me a lot.

Was that what you've been doing with Ga Ram?

Yeah.

Ga Ram said he'll help me overcome my male phobia.

He took a bus with me and made me take a psychology test too.

I'm grateful to Ga Ram.

Yes, you did great.

Should we have some beer?

I'll go get it.

How impressive.

- Do you have to change it again? - I felt kind of guilty.

What are you talking about?

Their products really stink.

She's right. She got a pimple from using that mask.

- This is bad. - Do you feel guilty as a person in charge?

Manager An, what should we do?

What else can we do? We should work within

the condition and discuss the things to change.

Well...

- My vacation starts in two days. - A vacation?

A vacation? A vacation? A vacation?

- What's wrong? - Sure, take a vacation.

Without the person in charge, we'll come up

with an idea until our heads blow up. Go ahead!

Reschedule your vacation.

- My vacation! - I told you not to plan ahead.

You call this ahead? Everyone already took their vacation.

You don't have much to do on vacation anyway.

And for singles like us,

it's better when families and couples are done with their vacations.

So when are you planning to go?

I don't have to go.

Why? You don't want to?

Well...

I don't really feel like it.

Since someone already took hers?

What are you talking about?

Does he like working that much?

What?

Just go after you're all done with your project.

- Da Young. - Yes, Manager An.

We need to do the photoshoot with Kim Ji Woon this week.

- Let me know when he's available. - Will do.

- By the way, Manager An. - Huh?

- Why don't you buy Deputy Oh a meal? - What?

What about Deputy Oh?

Aigoo, what's wrong with you anyway?

He's been spending a lot of money to buy you coffee these days.

He probably spends 40,000 to 50,000 won a day since he buys for everyone.

- What are you talking about? - Is that true?

And it's almost dinner time too.

I had no idea.

I'll treat you.

Is he working?

Mr. Kim. I'm thinking of stopping by Cafe Go for a second.

When will you come by?

I might not be able to tonight.

Call me when you're free then.

Okay.

Cold-hearted Mr. Kim.

He still gives short answers.

He replies quickly at least.

What is this?

Ga Ram.

Did you leave the cafe

for a moment yesterday by chance?

I met a friend during the break for a moment.

I closed the cafe before I went.

Who's pulling a trick like this anyway?

What's going on?

Where are you going?

I'm going home.

Okay.

Take a good rest at home.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, Mr. Jang!

- Hello. - Ms. Im.

What's all this?

Tomorrow's my wife's memorial day.

- Coming home from work? - Yes.

- Let me carry them for you. - Huh?

- Will you really? - Of course, it's on the way.

Aigoo, okay then.

Come on in.

Isn't my place pretty clean too?

Yes, I'm surprised.

Mr. Kim did such a great job. Anyway...

Are things going well between you two?

Well...

Aigoo.

I have something to discuss with your father now.

Where should I put this by the way?

- Just put it in the kitchen. - Okay.

Do you need help?

- Will you? Thanks. Could you clear up that table? - Okay.

Alright.

Did you use to fix watches?

Yes, I quit five years ago.

After my wife died.

I haven't heard back from the owner of that one.

This watch is the only thing she left behind.

It's been several years since she asked me to fix it.

She called and said she'll pick it up.

But I haven't heard back.

Maybe I should just mail it to her.

- Do you know the address? - Huh?

Ga Ram, where are you?

- Hyung, you're back. - Yeah, I forgot something.

Where have you been leaving the bar empty?

I put some empty bottles upstairs.

Ji Woon brought ice cream for us.

- Let's have some. - I'll clean up first.

Take it easy. No one will come in this heat.

- Take this off. It's hot. - It's okay.

It's too hot!

What's this?

What's the deal with you?

How do you know So Hee?

Who are you? You bastard.
