(Episode 40)

Mister, do you want to read this book too?

I'd like to borrow it once you're done with it.

Then wait just a little longer. I'll read it quickly.

Take your time. I'll wait until you're done.

If you don't know how to read anything else, just ask me.

(The Day Dad Comes Home)

Actually, I read this book more than ten times.

I know the whole story too.

Really?

What's it about?

The protagonist's dad who's up above comes...

Oh, "sunny day."

He comes on a sunny day as the sun...

to see the protagonist.

On a rainy day, he comes as rain.

On a cold winter day,

he comes to see his child as white snow.

He keeps coming like that because he misses his child.

Then I guess his child doesn't need to be sad.

Because he keeps coming to see the child...

as the sun, raindrops, and snowflakes.

By the way, kid,

you have such pretty eyes.

You have pretty eyes too. They're sparkly.

And...

I can see myself in your eyes.

(Library Rules)

Mi Ri Nae.

Mi Ri Nae.

Goodbye, mister.

Goodbye.

Mi Ri Nae.

I see. Her name is Mi Ri Nae.

Mom, I read "The Day Dad Comes Home" with some man earlier.

I think he likes the book too.

Earlier in the library?

Yes.

I told you not to talk to strangers.

Let's go.

(Children's Library)

I'd like to borrow these books.

Mother, please scold Yeong I when she's back.

I'm sure she had her own reasons.

Hae Mi told me that the team dinner had gone on until very late.

Come on. That happens when you work with others.

This is her first time, you know.

Pretend you don't know.

I wouldn't say anything if she didn't have a child.

How could she?

I mean, she used Do Sik as an excuse because she felt guilty.

If you don't talk to her about it, she'll do it again, Mother.

Oh, you were here, Mother.

Why did you tell me to come home early?

Your mother-in-law is upset because you didn't come home last night.

(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)

Dear goodness.

Mi Ri Nae, go on in without us.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Bad habits are formed easily, you know.

It wouldn't be a problem if you lived alone.

You live with your parents-in-law and grandmother-in-law.

And you have a child.

But you want to go out and have fun like everybody else...

and come home whenever you want?

It won't ever happen again. I promise.

I'll keep an eye on you.

Do Sik, that rat.

I'll be aching all over because of the moving.

Uncle Do Sik, are you done organizing your room?

Yes. Go upstairs and take a look.

It wasn't me, Yeong I.

Forget that I said I would deduct 1,200 dollars from what you owe me.

My gosh. This isn't fair.

Yeong I, wait.

Trust me. It wasn't me.

If you didn't tell her, how could Mother have found out?

I wouldn't know.

I swear on my niece's life that I didn't tell her.

Where did you learn how to play go?

Not many young people these days...

know how to play this game.

Even when I was little,

I had to learn how to do what I was curious about.

I see. You're smart and full of curiosity.

Relax and enjoy the game.

You see, I never go easy on anyone.

But I'll make an exception for you.

That's very kind of you,

but you don't have to.

What? I didn't see that coming.

Impressive. You're better than you said you were.

You were being too modest.

Come in.

- I'm home, Grandpa. - Hi.

Ms. Kim?

Are you just getting back?

Yes.

You're here again.

I think Kyung Jun stepped out.

I'm starting to think you keep coming here to see me.

We'll become family eventually,

so it's nice that we see each other often.

Hae Mi.

Hi, Kyung Jun.

Why don't you go upstairs and chat with him?

I'm pretty sure you're not here just to play go.

Let's go to my room.

Okay.

My gosh.

What are you doing here? You didn't tell me you'd come.

I had tea with your parents earlier in the afternoon.

I heard that your grandfather likes to play go.

You came here to play go with my grandfather?

That's one of the reasons.

I also wanted to check in on you...

and had something to ask you about.

What do you want to ask me about?

Well...

Kyung Jun, last night,

were you with Yeong I until very late?

Ms. Cha told me that you came home this morning.

I asked the others on our team,

and they said they went home right after the team dinner.

Then the only person left is Yeong I, right?

That's right. I was with her.

Oh, okay. I must say, I'm surprised.

Did you two become that close while preparing for the competition?

The truth is,

I have known Ms. Lee since before I joined the company.

What? How do you know each other?

I said my grandfather got me a job when I came back to Korea.

Ms. Lee was the person who trained me there.

Are you saying that you worked at the convenience store...

where Yeong I worked the night shift?

While working there, I realized...

that I had no idea how the world works.

I learned so much more than just work from Ms. Lee.

I'm forever grateful to her.

When I met her again as my fellow intern,

I was very surprised too.

You're forever grateful? Isn't that too much of an exaggeration?

I mean, teaching a new hire...

what to do and how to do it is an employee's duty.

Yeong I doesn't know that you're the chairman's grandson, does she?

No. I couldn't tell her that.

Hae Mi, I have a favor to ask of you.

What is it?

I know how hard it was for Ms. Lee to get this internship.

So I hope she'll get a permanent position.

She must have a lot to learn from your perspective,

but please help her and guide her.

As you must know since you saw her preparing for the competition,

she's hard-working and has great potential.

Are you asking me this favor...

simply as her colleague? Or do you have another reason?

That's what I want to know most.

I'm asking you as a woman, not as your manager.

Tell me honestly.

Hae Mi.

Mr. Jang and Ms. Cha are home.

Hello. You're home.

Ms. Kim, you're here.

Did you enjoy playing go with my father?

Yes, I did.

I think he went easy on me because I'm not very good.

He enjoyed it too, right?

Of course, I enjoyed it.

I lost track of time, which doesn't happen to me a lot.

I'll see her off.

Are you leaving already?

Why don't you stay for dinner?

Right, Ms. Kim. Stick around for a bit longer.

Thanks, but I should go.

I'll visit you again, Chairman Jang.

Kyung Jun.

Answer my question now.

Do you have feelings for Yeong I?

Is that the case?

I care about her.

Seeing her carrying burdens alone, crying alone,

and struggling...

makes me worry.

He has feelings for her for sure.

Why a woman like her?

I probably feel this way...

because she's the first person I've worked with.

Does it answer your question?

Yes, it's good enough.

If you care about her, I'll be nice to her.

I know you don't open up your heart to anybody.

I'll believe that she's a good person.

Thank you for saying that.

I'm counting on you.

Kyung Jun, you're so cruel.

How could you ask me to help another woman and thank me for that?

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can do you that favor.

I will never let you go to Yeong I.

Honey, do you mind if I organize your old stuff...

in our closet?

Why are you organizing the closet at night?

A charity event will be held by Hae Mi's company.

I'll donate some for the event and throw out the rest.

Let me know if you want to keep anything.

I'm reading a book right now. I'll leave it to you.

I'm home.

You're late.

I stopped by someplace.

Where?

Did you go on a date with Kyung Jun?

I'm tired. I'll go to my room.

A written pledge?

He owes me 50,000 dollars.

He owes Yeong I 30,000 dollars.

And he owes you and Chang Il 20,000 dollars.

I want him to promise us as the debtor...

that he'll pay us back the money...

no matter how long it may take. He should put it in writing.

Oh, please, Mother. That's not necessary since we're family.

It's too harsh, Mother.

Yeong I told Do Sik to start keeping a ledger, Mom.

What? Yeong I, did you really tell him to keep a ledger?

Do Sik bought a dress for Mi Ri Nae,

and I said I'd deduct the cost from the amount he owes me.

I mean, we should be thorough when it comes to money.

Good. You did the right thing.

Do Sik, sign a written pledge...

and repay Yeong I the money before repaying us.

What? Why should he repay her first?

He owes you more money than he owes us.

To Yeong I, it wasn't just money.

You all know how she earned and saved that money.

Say no more.

Write that you'll repay her first in your written pledge.

Here.

Yes, Grandma.

But what should I write, Dad?

Write down what I say.

The debtor, Kim Do Sik,

will repay the creditor, Lee Yeong I, 30,000 dollars...

Thirty thousand dollars.

Honey.

(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)

I can't believe Mother.

Must she make him feel bad about himself by doing that?

It's hard enough for him to focus on his studies.

And she said, "You're a debtor." My gosh.

I'm so frustrated.

Does it make you that upset?

Oh, Mother.

Can you pour me a glass?

When Chang Yi was eight...

or nine,

apparently, he stole candies at a corner store a few times.

On my way back home from the market after buying some ramie,

I saw the store owner hitting him and yelling at him so loudly...

that the whole neighborhood could hear him.

Any parents would step up...

when they see their child getting beaten up.

I reached into my pocket for money right away.

But Ms. Buyeo said, "Bok Hee."

"Are you trying to ruin your child's life or something?"

She stopped me.

So what did you do, Mother?

I paid the owner...

for the candies without letting Chang Yi know.

And I went to the store every morning...

to sweep the floor for more than 15 days.

I also helped the owner prepare to open the store.

I made sure that Chang Yi saw that...

on his way to school with Chang Il.

Just as Ms. Buyeo said,

Chang Yi never tried to steal what wasn't his after that.

But Do Sik...

didn't steal anything, Mother.

He made an investment with his family members' money...

to become rich overnight and ended up losing all of it.

If you clear his debt just because he's your son,

it could ruin Do Sik's life.

That's why I told you to give Chang Yi back the money.

I understand.

I know how you must feel, Eun Sook.

But cleaning up his mess...

every time he causes trouble won't help him.

That's why...

being a parent is...

so difficult.

Oh, no.

Eun Jin, wake up.

What? Why?

Aren't you going to work?

Don't you have a flight?

A flight?

Mom, the thing is...

I quit.

I handed in my resignation, and it was accepted.

I no longer work there.

What? Why?

Did they fire you because of what you did?

No, that's not the case. I quit of my own accord.

Mom, I'll explain everything to you soon.

I'm too exhausted both physically and mentally now.

And my brain needs to rest.

Hey. Eun Jin.

That's not like her.

Hello, Ms. Kim.

You're early. Did you get some rest yesterday?

- Yes. - I heard you had more drinks...

with Kyung Jun after the team dinner.

Pardon? Where did you hear that?

Obviously, Kyung Jun told me.

Why didn't you tell me?

I got the wrong idea.

I heard you worked with Kyung Jun...

at the convenience store for a while.

Did Mr. Jang tell you that?

Yes.

By the way, what did you do while working with him...

to make him pity you so much?

I don't think you told him about your situation.

Well, I mean...

Kyung Jun even asked me to be nice to you.

I told you...

that Kyung Jun can't turn a blind eye to pitiful people.

So I'm trying to figure out...

what I should do for you...

since Kyung Jun even asked me that favor.

I don't know what Mr. Jang said,

but you don't have to give me more attention than anyone else.

I don't want to burden you.

Come on. Helping someone like you would never be a burden to me...

if you think about my status.

If you need anything, just let me know.

I really want to do as Kyung Jun asked me.

Good morning.

Hi, Kyung Jun.

Good morning, Yeong I.

Good morning, Ms. Im.

The intern competition just ended,

and we have the charity event in a few days.

We're so busy.

Come in.

Hi, Ms. Kim.

Did you get home safely yesterday?

My father-in-law seemed very happy about your visit.

I'm relieved.

I was worried if I was just bothering him.

Of course not.

Have a seat.

What did Kyung Jun say? He was glad you came, right?

What's wrong? Did something happen between you two?

I found out that Kyung Jun had worked...

with Yeong I at a convenience store.

You mean, Lee Yeong I?

Yes. I heard about it from Kyung Jun yesterday.

- So? - Well...

I think the two of them became close while working together as interns.

He even asked me to be nice to her.

As their manager, I must be fair to everyone.

I don't know how I should treat her.

I knew she was a troublemaker.

Pardon?

While running this company,

I saw a lot of girls like her.

They're poor and incompetent.

But they act cheerful and brave in front of everyone...

and pretend to be fragile and pitiful in front of a man...

to seduce him.

They're so predictable.

Oh, I'm sure that's not the case.

I don't think he wants to help her because he has feelings for her.

I shouldn't have vented to you.

Maybe he doesn't, but girls like her are all the same.

Even just a small act of kindness...

makes them forget who they are and cross the line.

You have to nip it in the bud.

I'll take care of that matter, so don't worry about it.

Yes, ma'am.

Well... Please don't tell Kyung Jun what I told you...

Don't worry about that either.

Kyung Jun even asked me to be nice to you.

Kyung Jun can't turn a blind eye to pitiful people.

What a weird person.

Who is he to pity me?

I got the wrong idea without knowing that.

What was I thinking?

Ms. Lee.

Why would you pretend you didn't hear me?

I just called you.

Why?

You promised to eat with me if we placed first.

Let's set the date.

We celebrated over drinks. Should we eat together too?

Celebration is a celebration.

I really want to eat with you.

I have something to tell you in private.

When will you have free time?

I have to go straight home after work for the time being.

So I don't think we can eat together.

Nice. The prize money has been wired to my account.

Ms. Lee, how do you feel? Doesn't it make you happy?

Yes, I guess.

Ms. Lee...

Is she upset with me or something?

(Eun Ho Pediatric Clinic)

Bring my girlfriend?

Hey, I don't have a girlfriend.

All right. Congratulations on your wedding.

I'll see you at the wedding. Bye.

Is someone getting married?

Yes, my friend from college.

He told me to make sure to bring a plus one.

Because they'll have a buffet, and the food is good.

Really? I haven't gone to a buffet in a very long time.

Oh, right. Are you free this weekend?

Me? Of course. I'll make time no matter what.

Wait, Ms. Lee.

What is it you want to tell me?

Here. It's yours.

What is this?

I told you...

that I would give you my share if we won the prize.

So that I can get free food from you as long as I want.

Here.

Now that I gave you my 5,000 dollars,

keep your promise, okay?

Mr. Jang.

Yes.

Do I look that pitiful to you?

What do you mean by that?

What makes you think I pity you?

Or else, why do you keep doing things like this for me?

You even gave me money.

It hurts my pride as you keep...

Why are you doing this to me?

Well... I just want to keep my promise.

I'm sorry if it hurt your pride.

But you got the wrong idea.

I have never pitied you for a single moment.

Then what?

Why are you so nice to me?

My education level is low. I have no computer skills.

And I got my internship with the lowest score.

So I've been working so hard to survive the internship.

I guess that makes you pity me and feel sorry for me.

But you see,

I don't need you to help me like this.

I can do my job well without your help.

- So... - How could you say such a thing?

Who am I to pity you?

Do you take me...

for someone that would pity others to feel good about myself?

Yes.

I can't think of any other reasons...

for your behavior.

I hate it when you cry.

It breaks my heart.

What are you talking about?

When you smile at me,

I feel happy.

It makes me smile too.

Would you call this...

a pity?

What... Mr. Jang.

This is affection.

Yes.

I...

fell for you.

(The Love in Your Eyes)

What is this?

My gosh. His grades are so bad.

There's no way he can do it.

Did you two know about it?

Your dad and I think that Ms. Kim is a good match for you.

If your feelings for Ms. Lee are genuine,

you should stay strong and keep her safe.

Hae Mi, is that how you treated her all this time?
