Original subtitles

You got the wrong idea. I...

Mom!

Do me a favor...

and stop pitying worthless garbage like her, Se Jun!

Get out right now!

Look closely, Lee Yeong I.

See the hate in their eyes while they're looking at me.

It's all because of you.

Can you still say that I got the wrong idea?

Never call Yeong I into your office again.

Kyung Jun.

Yeong I, let's go.

Kyung Jun, I'm okay.

Ms. Cha got the wrong idea.

How can you be okay after being treated like that?

You seem angrier than I am.

If you act this way, I can't vent to you.

Do you remember that I told you not to carry the burden alone?

You have me now.

Then...

can I act like a crybaby?

Why didn't you come earlier and rescue me?

I was really scared.

I mean, I had never imagined...

that I would experience something I only saw in a drama.

By the way, what if your mother...

offers me money to leave you or something?

Should I accept the money?

What should I do...

I'm sorry that I was too late.

I wasn't there when that happened. I was bad.

You see,

I just had a very selfish thought.

I was so furious.

And I thought that because of what happened there,

you might stop seeing me.

I was afraid.

That I might leave you?

It wasn't easy for me to tell you how I felt for you.

I decided to go out with you...

while knowing your background.

Based on what happened earlier,

I think it will be even harder than I thought.

But I mentally prepared myself for it.

Thank you, Yeong I.

I promise you...

I'll make sure you'll never feel alone again.

That makes me feel so safe.

Let's have dinner together.

I'm sorry I can't. I have plans.

You have plans?

You're not making an excuse...

because you don't want to eat with me, right?

I guess you're still insecure.

Then you should be nicer to me.

I really can't eat with you tonight. How about dinner tomorrow?

What? You're embarrassed by me?

That's right.

Even when you were overprotective of me when I was younger,

I thought you must've felt so lonely in our family.

I tried to understand you.

But I was wrong.

You were simply trying to isolate me from everyone...

so that you could control me.

And you always judge others based on their social status...

and treat those who you think are below you disrespectfully.

Yes, I am embarrassed by and disappointed in you.

I'm sure you treated Ja Young the same way.

Why would you bring up that wench again?

To be honest, I knew...

that you had been mean to her.

Now that I saw your behavior with my own eyes, I realize...

why...

she left me.

Back then,

I resented her for leaving me.

But now, I'm grateful to her.

For leaving me!

I'm even relieved.

I'm glad you think so.

Listen, Se Jun.

Please let go of the past and move on.

Forget about Ja Young and what happened that day.

Why can't you move forward while letting it hold you back?

Get rid of whatever gets in your way.

Did you need a friend?

Is that why you tried to be Lee Yeong I's friend?

When you become the chairman of this company, girls like her...

will put their heads down and bend over backward for you.

That's fake! I can't call such people my friends.

If you keep living like this,

you'll end up alone.

Even I won't be by your side when I'm your son.

Are you saying that you'll abandon me?

Are you going to cut ties with me or something?

I see no reason why I shouldn't.

If you want me to throw away everyone I care about!

You...

Please leave.

From now on, make an appointment through your secretary first.

(Vice President Cha Yoon Hee)

It's been a while, Yoon Hee.

Have you been well?

You looked great.

And Se Jun seemed to have grown up so much.

Sim Won Sub.

Has he been watching me?

Leave it. I'll do it.

You go home now.

I think we're close enough to help each other like this.

Think that I'm repaying you for comforting me yesterday.

Look at this mess.

There isn't a single peaceful day because of Yeong I.

It's because of me, not because of her.

Do you still want to be part of my family after seeing this?

You must've heard from outside...

how my mother yelled.

Well...

How about you try to think in Ms. Cha's shoes?

I mean, Yeong I, who is out of your league,

has her precious sons in the palm of her hand.

Ms. Cha must be very upset.

All mothers feel the same way, you know.

She doesn't have us in the palm of her hand.

I hope you won't become like my mother.

It's not that I don't know how she feels.

But my mother doesn't realize that those whom she mistreats...

are precious children of some people.

Ms. Kim.

I hope you won't become a person who would judge others...

and hurt their feelings just as you want.

Come here for a second, Yeong I.

Why?

I can't let you catch a cold.

But what about you?

I don't get cold easily. I'll be fine.

Oh, Ms. Kim, I see you haven't left.

How could I go home in the middle of such a ruckus?

I apologize for the commotion.

That's okay. It's not the first time, you know.

Right. I reviewed your proposals.

Kyung Jun, you focused too much on choosing the food...

that would suit children's palate.

The age of the target consumers is also important, so take 1 for 2 out.

Well...

As for Yeong I's proposal...

About seasoned herbs.

They could go bad in the process of distribution.

Consider using dried herbs.

Will do. Thank you for your advice.

(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)

- Oh, my. Hello. - Hello.

Is your business going well?

Well, we have a lot of regular customers.

Have a seat.

Actually, I'm here to see Yeong I.

Is there a private room...

Of course, we have a private room.

But Yeong I hasn't come home yet.

Why don't you wait in the room?

- Okay. Thank you. - This way, please.

Who is that gentleman, Mother? Why is he asking for Yeong I?

Well... You don't have to know.

Is she going around and causing trouble again?

Come on. She's not like Do Sik.

She's not like you either. She never causes trouble.

- Is the chairman here, Mom? - Yes.

A chairman?

Quiet down.

- I'm back. - Hey.

Grandmother, by any chance...

He's here.

Is he? Where is he?

In the room.

I see.

Grandpa.

Oh, right.

I should address you as the chairman now, right?

Just do as you have until now.

Okay.

Thank you for the gloves.

They're very warm and nice.

You could've given me those by yourself.

Why did you send them through Kyung Jun? I was disappointed.

I wanted to give you in person.

But since I found out that you were the chairman,

I thought it would be hard...

to meet you as I used to.

You silly goose.

Baby Chick, you are a friend to me.

I'll keep thinking of you that way.

You can go ahead and do whatever you want.

I mean, you never listened to me.

Grandpa, come on.

Mom!

Hey, Mi Ri Nae.

Oh, dear. I'm very sorry.

I told her that her mom was meeting someone in here.

Then she said she wanted to say hi.

Mi Ri Nae, come on out now.

Let your mom keep having a chat with her guest.

She must be your daughter.

Let her stay here. I don't mind.

Then I'll bring you soup shortly.

Mi Ri Nae, say hello to him.

Hello, Grandpa.

What's your name?

I'm Mi Ri Nae. Are you my mom's friend?

The gentleman is her friend too.

A gentleman?

Yes. He bought me storybooks...

and taught me how to ride a bike.

Mi Ri Nae, go home now, okay?

No. That's okay. Let her stay.

Kid, come over here.

Here. Use this to buy some books.

Thank you.

The gentleman already bought me a lot of storybooks.

My mom and the gentleman work at a very large company.

You silly goose.

I'm the one who created that large company.

What do you mean by that?

Are you good at arts and crafts?

What I'm saying is...

that the gentleman you know and I are family.

Here's your food.

Yeong I, can you put them on the table?

- Sir, enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

Mi Ri Nae, come with me.

- Please enjoy. - Okay.

Good girl. Let's go.

She's so polite when she's just a little girl.

You taught her well.

She learned naturally as she grew up with the elders.

Chang Yi told me...

that he's the chairman of the company Yeong I works at.

He's a chairman?

He looks like an ordinary man. I'm surprised.

But how does such a rich man know Yeong I personally?

When Yeong I was working at the convenience store,

he often went there as a customer to sell empty bottles.

And Yeong I found out who he really was only recently.

My goodness. Honey, that means...

he went in disguise and recognized Yeong I's ability.

That's what happened. My goodness.

Yeong I is so lucky. Right, Mother?

Yes.

Seeing that he came all the way here to see her,

he must be very fond of her. Don't you think so?

He wouldn't have come to see her if he hated her.

Who would have known?

I can't believe my daughter-in-law...

has such a powerful man like him to have her back. Right, honey?

I think I know why you came...

to see me.

I should have told you first.

I came here to thank you.

- Pardon me? - My grandsons didn't seem...

to get married soon,

so I thought I might not see a great-grandchild before I die.

But you came with such a sweet child like her.

Thank you for that.

I'm here to tell you that.

Why do you look so surprised?

"You can't be with my grandson."

Did you expect me to say something harsh like that?

Baby Chick, I know all your virtues.

I'll welcome you with open arms.

Thank you, Grandpa.

Father, I'm home.

Chairman Jang went out to meet someone.

And CEO Jang called and said he was having an unplanned dinner...

and will be late.

I see. Can you give me a glass of water?

Of course.

Here, Ms. Cha.

Ms. An.

Didn't you check the water temperature?

- Pardon? - It's too cold.

Don't you know I only drink tepid water?

Oh, no. I'm sorry, ma'am. I'll bring you tepid water.

How come you didn't know?

You've been working for my family for several years.

Then why can't you even serve me water at the right temperature?

Ms. An, you did this on purpose because you look down on me, right?

Of course not. I'll bring you tepid water.

I warned you, didn't I?

That I'd no longer put up with you acting up...

just because Father likes you.

Ms. An, haven't you left for the day?

You can go home now.

What are you doing now?

Can't you see that I'm talking to her?

Go home.

I'm speechless.

I should be asking the same thing. What are you doing right now?

The horrific thing you did at work must not have been enough.

What did you say? "Horrific?"

Is what Yeong I does the right thing to do?

Mother.

Do not...

harass Yeong I...

ever again.

My gosh.

I'm not the only one you should be worried about.

What about your father?

I already told him...

that I will figure out my own life.

Won't you answer your phone?

Let's end our conversation here.

You must have a lot of secrets to hide.

If you have time to interfere in my life,

spend it on hiding your secrets from everyone.

I don't know what it's about,

but I think you can't afford to get caught by the others in the family.

Kyung Jun, you and I...

have lived together for a long time,

but we can't seem to get close to each other.

Gosh, hold it steady, will you? It's wobbly.

I'm doing so.

Okay. Done.

Hey, move aside.

What are you two doing?

Are you two together now?

I'm against the idea. Eun Jin, he's not good enough for you.

Hey, Yeong I.

It's not like that. Why would I date him? I'm not crazy.

Did you just get off work?

No, that's not it. Well...

Do Sik, can you go and pick up whipping cream for me?

You guys want to talk without me?

Did something happen?

Grandpa came to the restaurant.

And we had dinner together.

"Grandpa..."

The elderly man you met at the convenience store...

who turned out to be the chairman of your company?

He knew about me and Kyung Jun.

My gosh.

Did he give you a big chunk of money and tell you to get lost?

Had he done that, I would feel better now.

Then what did he do?

He said he will be rooting for us.

He met Mi Ri Nae too. He adored her so much.

Oh, my. That's hard to believe.

I see that he's the chairman of such a large company...

for a reason.

He has such a big heart.

I'm so happy for you.

But...

Kyung Jun's parents...

are against our relationship.

It's not that I expected to have everyone's blessing, but...

Eun Jin.

I don't know what to do.

Can I change things like this by trying?

Will they approve of me one day?

I mean, when it comes to making efforts,

I know I can try really hard.

But I keep feeling small for some reason.

My poor friend.

There's no easy path in your life.

To be honest, when I was dating Do Jin,

my mother-in-law was strongly against our relationship.

But back then,

my love for Do Jin was enough...

to do anything that she wanted.

Then do the same thing.

If you think that Kyung Jun is worth the effort.

Hey, you overcame Do Jin's mother's disapproval...

and married him in the end.

Yes, I did.

But Eun Jin.

I thought I had overcome my mother-in-law's disapproval...

before getting married.

But I was wrong.

It seems that my mother-in-law...

still thinks of me the same way.

Thinking that I'll go through that again,

honestly, I'm so afraid.

I told Kyung Jun that I was prepared for it though.

(Cafe Pareut)

Eun Ho, are you just getting back?

Let's go. I'll walk you home.

Why? Aren't you here to see Eun Jin?

Let's go. I have something to tell you.

You said you had something to tell me.

Go ahead.

Yeong I.

I don't want to see you suffer because of the person you love.

I know...

that you have feelings for Mr. Jang Kyung Jun.

But lately, when I see you,

you seem like you're already tired when you haven't even started.

Eun Ho.

Don't lie to me.

We've known each other for 20 years.

I know you always endure it alone and keep it all in.

Thank you for understanding how I feel.

But Eun Ho, I prepared myself for this when I made my decision.

I...

would never let you suffer.

Yeong I.

Am I not good enough for you?

Can't I be the one to be by your side?

Not as your close friend.

But as your boyfriend.

The woman he likes...

was Yeong I?

What are you doing, Do Young?

Where are you going with your pillow?

I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now.

I'll sleep with Grandma tonight.

Hello?

Did I wake you up?

No. Mi Ri Nae is sleeping. That's why.

That's a shame. I wanted to hear her voice too.

Oh, right.

You said you were going to meet someone. Whom did you meet?

Did you meet another man?

How did you know?

I met a very fabulous man.

Are you serious?

Tell me who that is. Or else, I won't be able to sleep.

It's good to hear you get jealous.

If you want to know, ask your grandfather.

Oh, I see.

Did you meet Grandpa?

Why didn't you bring me there?

Actually, he knows about us.

That we're seeing each other.

He told me that and gave us his blessing, which I'm grateful for.

Anyone who knows what kind of person you are...

would be rooting for us.

Mom, put me to sleep.

Oh, Mi Ri Nae just woke up.

I have to pat her to sleep.

Maybe she had a blast at kindergarten earlier today.

She's having a hard time falling asleep now.

Bye, then.

Wait, Yeong I.

Can I talk to Mi Ri Nae just for a moment?

Mi Ri Nae, the gentleman is on the phone.

Mister.

Mi Ri Nae.

I'll sing you a lullaby.

Sleep well.

Okay.

Well... What should I sing?

The frozen shadow of the moon

Sleeps on the waves

Big winter waves

Are gathered around a small island

Think of the lighthouse keeper

Who keeps the lighthouse all night long

And his divine and beautiful

Heart of love

(The Love in Your Eyes)

It must feel like your feelings for each other will last forever.

But that's all a fantasy.

Choose between your job and him.

I want Yeong I to become happy.

And I'm sure I can make that happen.

I'll tell everyone.

Including your mother and mine.

Is the intern assessment going well?

Unless they cause really big trouble,

they'll probably get a permanent position.

"Big trouble?"

You brought this upon yourself, Yeong I.
