(Episode 69)

What's the matter, honey?

Long time no see, ma'am.

You've been keeping well, right?

Yes, I've been well.

It's been a long time indeed.

What brings you here out of the blue?

Oh, I had to come to Seoul to take care of something.

I wanted to drop by and say hello to the two of you.

Take a seat, honey.

Okay.

How long has it been?

It's been a few years.

After you suddenly quit like that,

I struggled to find a reliable driver like you.

So I've been driving on my own.

My goodness.

You should've just hired a decent driver.

It must be tiring to drive on your own.

You were a lot more than just a driver.

When I was stressed out, you became my drinking buddy.

You volunteered to run all sorts of annoying errands for the family.

You were like family to us.

So? What have you been up to?

I run a wood workshop in a country town.

That was what I did...

before I met you.

Oh, that's right. You're a talented carpenter.

You built the bookcases for my study.

Honey, why are you all quiet?

Oh, no.

I guess I made her uncomfortable as I suddenly showed up.

Come on.

We haven't seen you in so long. Don't crack jokes like that.

If you tease her like that, she'll feel uneasy.

No, I'm happy to see you too.

As he said,

I'm just a little surprised to see you out of the blue.

I heard you contacted Se Jun.

The boys are well, right?

Is Kyung Jun still always staying home?

Hold on. How old are they now?

They're 32 and 29 years old already.

We aren't the only ones getting old.

My goodness.

Oh, right. There's surprising news for you.

Kyung Jun...

has regained his eyesight.

What? Are you serious?

Shortly after you quit,

we found a corneal donor, so he could get the surgery.

My gosh. That is such amazing news.

Oh, my.

Kyung Jun probably has no idea what I look like.

I want to see him.

Actually, they both work here.

- Really? - Shall I call them here now?

Gosh, they're working. Don't bother them.

That's right. I just stopped by to say hello.

Let's pick another day so I can come back...

and meet everyone properly.

I'd like to see Mr. Chairman and say hello to him too.

Sounds good. We'll invite you over to our place soon.

Gosh, I should get going now.

All right.

Don't go into hiding again.

Let's keep in touch.

Yes, sir.

Take care, ma'am.

Honey, finish your tea.

Oh, I was in the middle of reviewing a report.

I have to finish that first.

Goodness.

Oh, my.

Is this your office, Yoon Hee?

It looks amazing.

What are you trying to do?

Do you want to hang me out to dry?

You'd better not show up in front of my family again.

For your own sake, that is.

Oh, I'm scared.

Talking about the old days won't kill you.

Yes! This is the real Cha Yoon Hee.

Goodness. When I saw you sitting in your husband's office...

looking all elegant, I almost didn't recognize you.

What is it that you're really after?

How much do you want?

How much do you plan to extort from me?

Goodness.

Let's take it slow, okay?

Why are you panicking?

I told you.

Today, I just stopped by to say hello.

I know you plan to make your son the chairman of the company.

I'll keep that in mind and figure out...

how many shares I should get in the company, Yoon Hee.

I see that you incorporated the feedback to use dried herbs...

instead of fresh ones.

Yes, it's all thanks to you.

I think it needs more colors.

You could put a few red chili pepper slices...

on top of the fritters as a garnish.

Oh, right. Red is known to stimulate appetite,

and the color will stand out. I think it's a great idea.

Thank you.

What do you think of my proposal, Ms. Kim?

Well...

To be honest,

I'm just not sure if parents would want...

to buy lunchboxes from convenience stores for their kids.

Well...

The idea itself is great.

It'll help us expand our customer base.

However, we'll have to pay more attention...

to the nutritional values and the quality of ingredients,

and it won't be easy to keep the cost under control.

Yeong I, you probably know more about this than I do...

since you have a kid.

What do you think?

People like these lunchboxes because they're cost-effective.

But if it's for children,

why don't we add a premium edge and make it with organic ingredients?

Then I'd buy it for my daughter when I'm busy.

I see. That's not a bad idea.

Anyway, good work, both of you.

Keep fine-tuning the details to perfect your ideas.

Make sure the team can taste it before the final submission.

- Sure. - Sure.

Can I see your proposal too?

Yes, here.

Thanks.

Ms. Im, could you take a look too?

Hold on. What is this?

This lighting,

temperature, humidity level, and ambience.

Something tells me that you two took your photos...

in the same place, at the same time. What do you say?

Oh, that's...

That's because we practiced together...

in the office kitchen yesterday and took photos at the same time.

Yesterday?

You two were here yesterday?

Yes.

It wasn't planned.

We ran into each other in the office by chance.

By chance? What time?

Around 1 or 2 p.m.

Kyung Jun, could you spare me a moment?

Sure thing, Ms. Kim.

(Director Jang Se Jun)

I only found a case where a man died after losing his footing.

Is that it?

But I think someone tried to cover it up.

Nothing else is known about the case.

The police closed the case without digging into it at all.

Hi, Uncle Won Sub. Are you busy now?

I want to ask you something.

Can we meet?

Oh, no.

I just saw your parents. I'm leaving now.

What? You were here?

Why didn't you stop by my office too?

Oh, sorry.

I have somewhere to be, so I quickly said hello and left.

Se Jun.

What is it that you want to ask? Why do you want to meet me?

To be honest, I thought you'd be uncomfortable around me...

because of that incident.

That's why I avoided all calls from your family...

and laid low.

Actually, it's about that incident.

Uncle Won Sub.

I want to see you and hear more details about that incident.

I can't keep on avoiding it, you know.

You come here often with Yeong I, right?

If you're not here to talk to me as my boss, I'm leaving.

No, stay. Hear me out before you go.

So you were with Yeong I when I texted you yesterday?

That's why you never texted me back.

How could you do this to me?

Hae Mi.

I've made it very clear to your father,

so our parents already know the truth.

And I told you how I felt several times.

You're smart. Why are you being like this?

Don't ruin yourself like this.

If you don't want to see me ruining myself,

change your mind.

If you come to me,

I can go back to being the Kim Hae Mi you used to adore.

You've already crossed the line one too many times.

Sending those photos to Yeong I...

I'm letting you off quietly because it's you.

A brief chat was all we needed to clear up the misunderstanding.

Why did you do such a thing?

Is that so?

The two of you trust each other that much?

Even so, I will continue to shake you up.

Don't expect me to give up.

You should give up.

Ms. Kim.

Hey, move.

Hey! Stop, seriously.

Ms. Oh, what brings you here?

If Eun Ho's mother finds out,

she certainly won't approve of Do Sik.

Hello.

My gosh, Ms. An! Come on in.

Hello.

I was going to ask Yeong I to take this yesterday...

but totally forgot.

We got this made...

for the grand opening of Eun Jin's cafe.

It's nothing special, but I wanted to give it to you.

That's why I'm stopping by.

I see. Let's see.

My gosh! It's very nice.

Thank you. We'll put it to good use.

Great. I should get going.

Wait, Ms. An.

Yes. Did you want to talk to me about something?

You know that Do Sik...

helped Eun Jin a lot with her grand opening, right?

He comes across as the clumsy type,

but he's actually very thorough and strong.

That's right. Without his help,

Eun Jin definitely would've struggled a lot.

I'll tell her to pay him well.

Gosh, that's not why I brought it up.

Did you think I was that materialistic?

My gosh. I'm sorry if I offended you.

Well, he helped her out because he cares for her.

So it really isn't about money.

Just shower him with parental love.

That's what we'll do to show each other how much we care.

Oh, parental love...

Yes, sure thing.

Do Sik is adorable. I sure know that.

Gosh, I'm glad you know that.

I'm not saying this because he's my son. He's adorable indeed.

Please be good to him.

All right. I have to go to work.

Oh, right.

Thank you.

- Be safe. - Will do.

- Have a great day. - You too. Bye.

Bye.

Why was Mother here?

What? Oh, she came to drop this off.

Hold on. Why are you calling her "Mother?"

Well, she might end up being my mother-in-law.

That won't happen, so give up already.

Why not? How do you know?

I did a lot of thinking.

It'd be nice to have a son-in-law who's a doctor,

but your brother comes first.

What are you talking about?

You don't need to know. Hey, shouldn't you go to work?

Your future son-in-law has a seminar today,

so I have the morning off.

Too bad we have to give up on Eun Ho.

In any case, when you're at the clinic,

just work. Do nothing else, okay?

I don't want to do that.

(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)

Is the lunch rush over? I guess I came too late.

My gosh. What brings you by? Take a seat.

Chang Yi! Are you here for lunch?

Yes, I need to have lunch.

But I also wanted to see you and Mother.

I'll go heat up some soup for you quickly.

You two should catch up.

Is something the matter?

Are things at the bank stressful?

Goodness. Being a parent...

is certainly not easy, Mother.

What? Are you talking about Hae Mi?

She's a smart girl. What's going on?

It's about her boyfriend.

Unlike his parents' wishes,

I don't think he has any feelings for Hae Mi.

So Hwa Kyung asked Eun Sook...

to tell Yeong I to put in a good word...

for Hae Mi with the chairman.

But the thing is,

I feel conflicted, Mother.

Of course, that's totally understandable.

The guy she likes won't like her back.

What father wouldn't worry?

But if you tell your daughter to just end things,

she'll be hurt. So what can you do?

But you see, don't bother Yeong I.

She's busy taking care of her man at the moment.

Her man?

Is she seeing someone?

Yes.

He's very handsome.

He's a good-hearted young man.

If things work out,

they'll move in together in no time.

Why are you standing around? Sit down and join us.

Oh, it's okay.

Chang Yi, is there anything else you want? I'll make it for you.

How about a rolled omelet?

It's okay, Chang Il.

Well, hold on.

Goodness, what's with this radish kimchi?

One moment. I'll go get some more.

Here, eat.

They're bound to find out eventually.

I'm really worried.

Here are your Americanos.

Oh, we didn't order these.

Sorry?

Not them. It's the other table.

I'm sorry.

Enjoy.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Do Sik.

Spare me a second.

(Cafe Pareut)

I know. I won't make any more mistakes.

You've been making mistakes nonstop all day.

Gosh, I didn't know you were so dumb.

I can't believe you wanted...

to get into med school with that brain of yours.

Hey, can you stop talking about that?

Then shall we talk about how you dropped out?

Hey, you're too bossy right now.

I am your boss, aren't I?

Well... I know, but...

I'd say we're also...

lovers?

What? Gross. Lovers, my foot.

Hey, we slept together twice and kissed a bunch of times.

If we aren't lovers, what are we?

Just two people who slept together twice and kissed a few times.

Gosh, you're way too cool about it. You're so cold.

I'm not cold. You're just being clingy.

Yes, I can't be cool about it. So I'll keep being clingy.

Like this.

(Cafe Pareut)

Hey.

What?

I like how you said it. Say that again.

Is the seminar over?

Eun Ho.

Why did you guys kiss?

I thought you were like siblings.

Is this okay?

This just happened.

Hey, what are you talking about?

Eun Ho, don't tell Mom. Nothing's going on between us.

Let's go inside.

Let's go inside too.

Eun Ho. If you don't like me, just say so.

Hi, Kyu Young.

Yes, it's been a while.

You know, work keeps me busy every day.

I'm calling because...

I heard you recently got a job at DG Distribution. Is it true?

Yes, I also work in Food Product Development.

Oh, I see.

Hey, that's great.

I was curious about DG's food product development team.

Vice President Cha used 100,000 dollars from the money...

left over after the sell-off of HK for personal purposes.

Does Yi Jae not know about this?

The accounting manager told me...

that Mr. Jang said she donated the money.

To whom?

The thing is, it's not an organization.

Apparently, she donated the money to a family she personally knows.

So it was just written off on the books.

She's up to something again.

From now on,

I want you to keep tabs on her.

She must've left a stinky trail.

Yes, sir.

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me...

even though I showed up unannounced.

Well, I was a little surprised to see you.

Anyway, what brings you by?

Oh, I went shopping for the first time in a while.

The shoe brand you like...

has launched their new spring collection.

I bought a pair for myself and got one for you as well.

You'll love the shoes.

Hae Mi inconvenienced you the other day,

but I never had a chance to apologize to you properly.

Please accept this.

Gosh, you didn't have to get me anything.

Anyway, thank you.

And Ms. Seo, while we're on this topic...

Yes, Ms. Cha.

I thought that running this company...

has helped me become a good judge of character,

but I guess I was wrong.

I didn't think Ms. Kim would ever make such a mistake.

Gosh, I had never seen my daughter behave that way either.

I think Hae Mi is really heartbroken because of Kyung Jun.

Please kindly understand.

Stop blaming everything on Kyung Jun.

If Ms. Kim had been more competent, she would've won him over by now.

In any case, I'll just let it go.

But I hope it doesn't happen again.

You'll have to make sure your daughter behaves herself.

Pardon me?

Right, yes. I should.

(TS Retail dreams of a bigger world with limitless potential.)

I envy you. You're so good at this.

Oh, hey. Yeong I!

You're with Kyung Jun.

Auntie Hwa Kyung, what brings you here?

Oh, I'm here...

because Vice President Cha wanted to catch up with me.

You two seem close.

Right! You two joined the company together as interns.

Yes, that's right.

Yeong I, let's go for a cup of tea if you have some time now.

See you.

Wait.

(TS Retail leads with transparency.)

I heard you asked for me, ma'am.

Ms. Kim.

We're here to work.

This isn't some cafe where anyone can come and go.

Pardon me?

Did you not know that your mother was here earlier?

Oh, that's...

It's not like she had an appointment to see me.

She only called when she was right in front of the office.

She doesn't seem to understand the line between work and personal.

I apologize, ma'am.

You don't need to apologize. Just make sure it doesn't happen again.

I can't stand rude people...

who show up unannounced whenever they want to.

Yes, I'll keep that in mind.

You'll help me, right?

Eun Sook hasn't said anything since I gave her the gifts.

Put in a good word for Hae Mi. Please?

Auntie Hwa Kyung.

You and Kyung Jun seemed very close.

Just put in a good word for Hae Mi with Kyung Jun and the chairman.

Help Hae Mi just this once,

and I'll repay you for the rest of my life.

Please. You're a nice person.

The thing is, Kyung Jun and I...

Mom!

Mom, what are you doing here?

Hey, can't you see?

I'm just enjoying a cup of tea with Yeong I.

Yeong I, how could you step out when you're supposed to be working?

Return to the office at once.

Yes, Ms. Kim.

I dragged her here.

Why are you so cold to Yeong I? She's our family.

Mom, why must you do things that I never asked you to do?

You're making things more difficult for me!

What do you mean?

I heard you went to see Vice President Cha unannounced.

Oh, that.

I was just feeling so anxious.

Hae Mi, Yeong I and Kyung Jun seemed very close.

She'll be your perfect wing woman.

So I asked her...

to put in a good word for you with the chairman and Kyung Jun.

Smart move, right?

Mom, please!

Mom, please don't do anything.

I've already hit rock bottom,

and you're making things worse for me.

Do you realize that?

Wait, Hae Mi.

She didn't have to be so mean.

She's so cold.

Grandma, teach me how to count.

What? You can already count well.

Not to 100.

My goodness. You want to learn to count to 100?

That's a big number. You can learn it later.

No. Mr. Jang promised me...

that he'd live with me after 100 nights.

What?

How dare they.

Who says they can live together? I won't let them.

You haven't been bringing your car to work.

Is everything okay?

Oh, yes. It's easier to take the bus.

Kyung Jun, forget teaching me how to ride a bike. Teach me how to drive.

You want to learn to drive? Do you have a driver's license?

I got my license when Mi Ri Nae was little...

so I could take her to fun places.

But I don't have a car,

so my license is practically useless.

Then I should really teach you.

I'll learn quickly so I can drive you.

Should I get better seat belts?

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

Today, I'll take you home with my car.

Your car? You said your license was practically useless.

I own a big car.

The bus.

Oh, my. You own a big car indeed.

Let's go hop in your big car.

This is it?

(Holiday-themed lunchbox with dried herbs)

"Holiday-themed lunchbox with dried herbs."

This is a good idea.

We never met today.

- Just don't tell anyone. - But...

this is a great proposal. Why are you giving me this?

Give it back if you're going to ask me why.

Goodness, fine.

All I care about is getting a good performance review.

This will be a win-win for us both.

(The Love in Your Eyes)

Tell me the truth before it's too late.

Just like how you volunteered to be my eyes when we were little.

I'll tell you everything later.

Yeong I is in a serious relationship.

I think Mother has already met him.

I'm impressed with Yeong I.

I don't know what that jerk did to win Mi Ri Nae over.

She said the three of them would live together.

What are you waiting for?

Get out of my house at once!
