Original subtitles

You called everyone, right?

Yes.

I looked into it...

and found out they thought you were abroad, undergoing treatment...

under my care.

That's why it took a while for them to reach out to me.

I believe Ms. Cha was the one who told them that.

She's certainly capable of doing that.

If I don't step in,

they'll be resentful.

They got fired overnight.

I should take matters into my own hands.

I'm home.

Soo Wan, you're here.

I'll get going, sir.

Move quietly.

Sure thing, sir. Don't worry.

- I'm off. - All right. Get back safely.

Kyung Jun, come and sit down.

Okay, Grandpa.

So everyone in the company...

now knows that you're my grandson?

Yes, our plan failed.

I was Mr. Popular today.

Well, everyone was bound to find out anyway.

Don't let it get you down.

It's not the only reason, Grandpa.

Then what else?

The other intern on my team...

The other day,

I told you she's the one who trained me at the convenience store.

Right, you did.

You said she was a good person.

Yes.

She was surprised upon finding out that I'm the president's son.

And she thinks she was only able...

to join the head office...

because she helped me.

I kept telling her that she was mistaken,

but she won't believe me.

So...

she thinks she got the internship through connections?

Accepting recommendations from the convenience store owners...

You were the one who came up with the idea, right?

Yes, that's right.

I wanted to hire talents with a lot of field experience.

- Why do you ask? - Then...

Gosh, I know this is a lot to ask.

But I was wondering if you could meet her...

and tell her that.

If you know it's a lot to ask,

is there a specific reason you're stepping in like this?

To her,

I didn't want to lie about my family background.

And I wanted to tell her...

before I told anyone else.

She was...

always sincere and honest with me, but I was...

And she's really good at her job.

If she doesn't do well in the next competition...

because she's discouraged by this...

She said she really wanted to get a permanent position.

She's certainly qualified.

Goodness. You're just an intern too.

What do you even know?

If you see how hard she works,

you'll agree with me. I'm sure of it.

What? Look at you getting cheeky with me.

Please do it for me, Grandpa.

Everything will get sorted out by tomorrow.

Don't worry. Just wait.

So you'll help me?

I told you not to worry.

Yeong I, so you're going back to the head office?

Yes, Grandma.

I was worried that your commute would be stressful.

I'm glad you're returning to the head office quickly.

We don't know if it's a good or bad thing.

We shall find out.

A bad thing? What do you mean?

He's still half-asleep.

Just ignore him, Grandma.

Mom, I'm going to the library when I get home from kindergarten, right?

Oh, right.

Do Young, you said the clinic would be closed this afternoon.

Yes, Eun Ho...

I mean, Dr. Kang has to attend a seminar. Why?

Then do you mind taking Mi Ri Nae to the library?

They're hosting an origami workshop.

Mi Ri Nae is supposed to attend it.

Okay, sure.

I can do that.

I have nothing to do.

Oh, right.

Grandma's restaurant.

I should help out at the restaurant.

Is your mother skipping breakfast? What is she doing?

Honey.

Mom, are you going somewhere?

Mom.

What's with that duffle bag?

Honey, what is this? Where are you doing?

I'm almost 60.

Must I report to you every time I go somewhere?

You guys always do whatever you want.

Mother.

All right, see you.

Honey, wait...

Mother, where is she going?

It doesn't matter...

as long as she comes back.

Just thank her when she's back.

Hello, Ms. Oh.

Hi, Eun Jin.

It's still early. Where are you going?

I'll just go where my feet take me.

Life never goes as planned, you see.

Bye.

Be safe, Ms. Oh.

All right.

Do Sik is the one who should get kicked out,

but his mother is leaving.

Suits and coats...

Eun Jin, don't you want these? Why are you giving them to Yeong I?

You'd better not take them.

Get going with Mi Ri Nae.

Okay.

Auntie Do Young, why did you say that you hated the fumigator?

What? I said that?

Yes, in tears.

You'll be late for kindergarten. Let's hurry.

Let's go.

- Bye. - Have a good day!

Let's hurry.

Fumigator? What was that about?

Eun Ho told me what happened. He said she was very upset.

She thought she was attending a wedding with Eun Ho.

But Eun Ho asked her to stay at the clinic...

because he was having the clinic disinfected.

My gosh. She went out all dressed up on Saturday.

No wonder she talked about it in her sleep.

Hey. If you give me all your clothes,

you'll have nothing to wear.

I'm unemployed, so I don't need work clothes.

You should dress up for work.

And you'll need nice clothes when you're going on a date.

A date? I'll never go on a date.

Why not? Does Mr. Jang not like you anymore...

because he now knows that you have a child?

It's not really about that.

Turns out,

the president and VP of the company...

are his parents.

What?

So he hid his real identity...

while being trained by you at the convenience store...

and interning at the company?

He said he wanted to start from the bottom and learn step by step.

But I think they let me join the company...

because I trained him at the convenience store.

I think...

that is the only reason they hired me, Eun Jin.

Hey, so what did you tell him?

We hid things from each other,

so I told him I couldn't be friends with him anymore.

I said, "Let's go back to being strangers."

Are you out of your mind?

Why?

He's the company president's son?

Then he's a real catch.

A total catch.

Others do whatever it takes...

to connect with influential people.

It'll be like hitting the jackpot. I can't believe you pushed him away.

Why can't you stay friends with him? You've got nothing to lose.

You see,

I want to stay in the company with my abilities alone.

I don't need stuff like that.

Now that I've learned I got the job because of him,

I don't know what to do.

I'm torn.

Why are you torn?

And who cares if you got the job because of him?

Ignore what people say and just do your work.

Don't do anything silly.

Okay?

Thanks for the clothes.

You're the best, my friend.

(Eun Ho Pediatric Clinic)

Do Young, are you still sulking?

Sulking? Do you think I'm a kid? I'm angry.

My gosh. You're angry at me, Do Young.

I bet you're in a great mood this morning.

The clinic has been disinfected perfectly.

The disinfectant smells so refreshing.

I was so dolled up that day...

that the manager from the company said I was pretty...

and gave us a service upgrade.

Just know that.

Don't be angry.

I'm really sorry, okay?

You're sorry, and that's it?

I could forgive you...

if you took me to a nicer buffet than the one at the wedding.

Sure, I'll take you. I said I'd buy you dinner.

When?

What?

Hi, kiddo. Are you here without your guardian today?

Yes, my mental age is ten. Hello, Eun Ho.

What's with you?

Are you talking like a kid because you're stressed out?

What's the matter with him?

My mom packed up and left because she was so shocked...

by my brother's grades.

I guess he has a conscience, after all.

Hey, get it right.

She didn't leave us. She'll be back.

I see. I guess she went somewhere for a few days to clear her head.

Yes.

Eun Ho, how about you let my parents adopt you?

Me?

Yes.

I failed to fulfill my mom's wish because I can't become a doctor.

Can't you be her son and fulfill her wish?

I can't do that.

But I'll help you figure out another career path.

You're still young, so you can start afresh.

But he can't be a doctor.

What? But he's only 27.

Eun Ho!

I'm really stressed out.

Mom packed up and left because of me.

Grandma and Dad won't even talk to me.

And Yeong I...

What about Yeong I?

Why are you suddenly bringing up Yeong I?

She didn't even do anything.

Never mind.

It's nothing.

I'm sure she's come to her senses by now.

(Branch Manager Kim Chang Yi)

My gosh, it's been a while. How have you been?

Good. I've been keeping busy.

How's your health, sir?

I'm okay now.

Hold on.

How did you know I had some health issues?

Oh, that's...

Well, I suppose it's one of the most common greetings...

for old people like me.

I was actually...

in the hospital for a few days, but I'm good now.

My gosh, I didn't know.

Yes, but I'm totally fine now.

Do you want to meet?

Yes. I wanted to go over the investments and...

More importantly, I need to talk to you about something.

When would be the best time for you?

I'm busy today.

If it's okay with you,

I'll call you tomorrow and stop by.

Okay. Then I'll free up my afternoon. Please call me.

All right, will do.

Talk soon.

(Branch Manager Kim Chang Yi)

Kim Chang Yi, how could you make such a mistake?

- My gosh, sir. - Yes.

That scarf...

How does it look? Does it suit me?

Kyung Jun bought this for me at the charity bazaar.

It's very warm and soft.

Just like the heart of the person who knitted this, I suppose.

I knitted that scarf.

Sir, did you intentionally...

No, not at all.

I really had no idea.

Kyung Jun...

bought this for me because he thought it'd suit me.

Anyway, see you later.

Wait, sir.

It's very cold outside.

You should tie it like this.

I hope you have a great day.

I'll see you later.

Thank you.

You have a good day too.

Thank you.

What? The chairman is on his way here?

(TS Retail leads with transparency.)

I thought he'd talk to us at home, but he's coming here.

He must be furious.

It's a hurdle we must overcome anyway.

You can count on me.

I'll talk to him.

I'm prepared to deal with him too.

- Hello, sir. - Hello, sir.

Do you all have nothing better to do?

Father, what brings you here today?

We would've arranged everything had you given us a heads-up.

What's going on? Did something happen?

Good morning.

We got a call from the distribution center.

Congratulations on returning so quickly.

Is it because you're good at your job?

Or is it because of your connections?

In any case, welcome back.

Oh, Ms. Im. Is something going on today?

The higher-ups were all standing outside on my way here.

You picked your side wisely,

but I guess you have no idea what's going on.

Everyone's in the emergency mode now.

The chairman is here.

The chairman?

Why is everyone in emergency mode because of the chairman?

Why can't I open this?

So now,

let's go back to being strangers.

Things were better back then.

Should I just open it for her?

Who cares? It's just a lid.

What's wrong? You can't open it?

No.

Thank you, Ms. Kim. My hands are slippery.

You should've asked Kyung Jun to open it for you...

instead of struggling like that.

Sorry? Oh, right.

It's okay. You guys work together.

I'm totally cool with stuff like that.

She needs a little reward too, Father.

That's why I gave her my shares.

You little... How dare you lie to me?

You'd better tell me the truth!

Father.

You didn't know about it either.

What do you say? Shall we call High Heels here?

Father.

All she does is work.

She needs something to make it a little rewarding at least.

I gave her the vice president title...

and enough shares to go with that.

Why hand over something I gave you...

without my permission?

Your wife has you wrapped around her little finger.

Seeing how you're already being like this,

things will be ridiculous once I die.

You may not trust her as your daughter-in-law,

but she's my one and only wife...

and Kyung Jun and Se Jun's mother.

I swear, I made the decision on my own.

This time,

I won't back down, Father.

If she was truly happy to be a mother to Kyung Jun,

I wouldn't be doing this.

What on earth are they talking about...

that they told me to be on standby?

Father.

Well...

Should I tell them to make some tea for you?

This will do.

Why didn't you just call us if you needed to talk to us?

It's cold outside. What if you catch a cold?

My point, exactly.

It's all your fault if I catch a cold today.

You made this retired chairman...

come all the way here.

Soo Wan, let them in now.

Gosh. Father.

The thing is...

What happened was...

- I can explain. - You see,

If you wanted to fire my people, why didn't you do it confidently?

Why? Did you know it was unjustified?

Your father-in-law is alive and well.

But you told them I was abroad, undergoing treatment.

And being the gutsy woman that you are,

you told them that Soo Wan went with me.

I like Hawaii.

Next time, you should actually send me to Hawaii.

Father.

I decided to replace the former board members...

with the current ones after long, careful consideration...

Oh, I'm sure.

You all heard that, right?

It was the result of her long, careful consideration.

Go have lunch.

I must speak with Vice President Cha...

and find out exactly what her "long, careful consideration" entailed.

Yes, sir.

Father, what do you mean?

HK Agency or whatever it's called. The PR firm.

You established the company behind my back...

and gave them all the work.

Is that also an outcome of your long, careful consideration?

Father, how did you know...

It's too big a kickback, don't you think?

Be careful, or it'll all backfire on you.

If I can't fix you,

I'll have to change my will.

I was going to split everything evenly between Kyung Jun and Se Jun.

You always say you like to play fair.

I was going to split my assets fairly between them.

Father.

Please forgive me. I should've been more thoughtful.

Don't forget.

You're Cha Yoon Hee, not Jang Yoon Hee.

Don't make me come all the way here again.

That darn old man.

Grandpa, there you are.

They told me you went downstairs, so I was waiting for you.

My gosh, sir.

You're here.

Thank you for visiting our office. This is a huge honor.

Let me introduce the team members.

It's okay. That's not why I'm here.

Then why...

Mr. Heo, we're out of coffee. Should we order...

- Grandpa. - Baby Chick, how have you been?

"Baby Chick?"

What are you doing here?

Are you here to see me?

Of course, I'm here to see you. Who else?

But what brings you all the way here?

I'd like to talk to her in private.

Where can I do that?

You can talk to her in my office, Mr. Chairman.

All right.

Ms. Lee?

Yes?

Oh, yes.

Please get back to work.

She was...

Baby Chick?

So if you're the chairman of the company...

Does that mean Mr. Jang Kyung Jun is your grandson?

Are you shocked?

Yes, I am shocked.

And I'm hurt.

I thought we were friends, Grandpa.

When you didn't come to the convenience store,

I worried about you.

On cold days,

I took out a warm bottle of yuzu tea and waited for you.

Whenever anyone left empty bottles in our trash bin,

I kept them for you without telling my boss.

But I made a complete fool of myself.

You must've laughed at me.

Why would I laugh at you?

Baby Chick, you're precious.

You're a precious friend to lonely seniors.

And you're a precious asset to the company.

No one else has ever lifted the rubber mat...

in front of the door to sweep underneath it.

I know...

that you always do your very best.

Is that why...

you gave me the opportunity to work at the head office?

You're hurting my feelings here.

You said we were friends. Then shouldn't you know me better?

I can be very ruthless.

You've known me for three years, so you should know that by now.

While running this company for decades,

I never once...

hired someone incompetent just because I knew them personally.

I give you my word.

Mr. Jang said that too.

But I...

find it hard to believe, Grandpa.

Everyone else who works here...

is smarter than I am.

They're all very competent and way more qualified.

To tell you the truth, I feel betrayed...

and embarrassed too.

I finally found out that I got this job through connections.

You finally found out? You have no idea.

It's not true at all.

I recruited you.

You recruited me?

I wanted young people with a lot of field experience...

to have the opportunity to shine at the head office,

so I asked the store owners to recommend their staff.

And you seized the opportunity...

all on your own.

Why would I go through all the trouble...

to hire someone I know?

I could've just called the HR team...

and told them to make a nice position for you.

Am I wrong?

Grandpa.

You are certainly qualified to work here.

And you're doing an excellent job.

Can I...

really believe you?

To be honest,

I was debating whether or not I should just quit.

But I just started to enjoy my job.

Grandpa, thank you for recruiting me.

From now on, I'll work even harder.

Yes, you should. I'll tell them to fire you if you slack off.

So you'd better work hard.

But...

does this mean we're no longer friends?

(The Love in Your Eyes)

I know...

you must be heartbroken because of Yeong I.

When you like someone,

you can't switch off your feelings overnight.

If you need a drinking buddy, just let me know.

Mother, where is she?

You must know.

She said she'd go where her feet took her and return in a few days.
