(Delicious Holiday Bibimbap Lunchbox)

Kyung Jun, you proved it.

The promotional article was released just yesterday,

but it's already generating so much buzz.

Orders are pouring in from all over the country.

Well done. I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

The fact that the bibimbap comes with fritter skewers...

instead of a fried egg really sets it apart.

And consumers can choose between the gochujang and soy sauce flavors.

Launching the two flavors at the same time...

was key.

Now, what do you think?

Would you consider putting me in charge of all projects...

related to PB products as I asked you before?

Sure, let's do that.

I can't wait to see the new products you'll launch in the first quarter.

Mother, are you okay with that too?

Yes. Of course, I am.

But you didn't achieve this on your own, Kyung Jun.

This all started...

with Yeong I's proposal for the second competition.

I also the bibimbap lunchbox...

was also her idea.

Yes, that's right.

My relationship with her aside,

she has so many brilliant ideas.

I never told her to do this, but she already finished...

analyzing all the PB products from the past ten years,

and she's now coming up with a list of new products for Q1 and Q2.

Honey, don't you think...

we should reward her too?

How about a gift card or a travel voucher?

A paid vacation would be nice too.

That's a great idea.

I'll talk to her and find out what would be good.

Thank you, Mother.

My gosh. The two of you are finally getting along.

This makes me so happy.

The three of us and Se Jun should go...

to the cottage in Gapyeong...

before Kyung Jun's wedding. What do you think?

The four of us have never taken a trip together.

Now that I'm older, I've realized...

that nothing's more important than your family.

Look at Kyung Jun.

Kyung Jun grew up like this in the blink of an eye.

I really wish we could've done more things together.

I couldn't see up until a few years ago,

so we couldn't even think of taking a trip together.

Right, Mother?

Yes, you're right.

Mother and I will go through our schedules and find a good time.

Let's go away together, Father.

How brazen.

Now that you have something on me,

you're going to suffocate me...

while smiling at me like this?

(CEO Office)

You're a good actress.

I almost believed that you were actually proud of me.

You should've done this when Mr. Sim visited us.

Why did you get so flustered?

That was very unlike you.

Thanks for the compliment. Have a good day.

You've only recently landed a permanent position,

but look at your shining achievements already.

It's sad we can't use the proposal you submitted for the competition,

but this isn't bad either, Yeong I.

Is that supposed to be a compliment or what?

Well done, Yeong I.

It must've been very stressful...

for you to come this far after what happened.

Thank you, Ms. Im.

And thank you, Mr. Heo.

But I'm embarrassed to receive all these compliments.

The two of you helped me out so much.

And Ms. Kim gave me so many helpful pointers.

Thank you, Ms. Kim.

It's my job. You don't need to thank me.

- Oh. - Hello, Mr. Jang.

Good work, all of you.

I just had a meeting with the CEO.

The lunchbox is already generating so much buzz.

As for the new products for the first two quarters,

we have to pick the categories first before coming up with our plans,

so we'll be busy for a while.

That said, how about we all go out for dinner together this Friday?

Mr. Jang.

How about we invite Director Jang too?

We never got to say a proper goodbye to him.

I was sad that he suddenly decided to take a leave of absence.

How about we throw a going away party for him too?

Okay, I'll ask him.

All right, then. Have a good day.

Kyung Jun.

(Food Product Development Team)

Yes, Ms. Kim.

Be careful how you address me at work.

A number of people here still have it out for me.

Oh, sorry.

It's a personal question, so I didn't think of that.

A personal question?

Yes.

Don't be scared. I won't ask you what you don't want to hear.

It's about Director Jang. Is something going on with him?

- Se Jun? - Yes.

A few days ago, he came to my neighborhood to see me.

He wanted to have a drink with me, so we drank.

He drank less than he normally would but got drunk quickly.

Then,

as if he were going through a hard time emotionally,

his eyes were all red, and he looked for you...

while saying sorry to you.

He's fine.

Se Jun always says he feels sorry for me.

He thinks our parents have done more for him than for me.

He probably said that because he was drunk.

Anyway, when did you two become so close?

What?

You think we're close?

Se Jun would never meet a colleague outside of work...

unless he considers the person a close friend.

Besides, you said he came to see you.

Well, that's because... Once, I got drunk,

and he took me home. I guess he thought of that time.

Thanks for being his drinking buddy.

If you have nothing more to talk about, I'll be off.

Have a good day.

I got to relax and chat with Kyung Jun like in the old days,

but I ended up talking to him about his brother.

Anyway, Director Jang Se Jun keeps worrying me for some reason.

Hi.

You're here.

What are you reading? You seem happy.

It's a letter.

We finally received a letter from the family...

of Kyung Jun's cornea donor.

I suppose they could feel how much we wanted to find them.

That's such great news, sir.

Did they tell you their names?

I think that makes them uncomfortable.

But their letter...

tells me how worried they are about Kyung Jun...

and how much they care about him.

I'm so grateful to them.

Anyway,

did you find out anything?

Ms. Cha never goes anywhere else other than the office and home.

Other than the business meetings she attends with Mr. Jang,

she has nothing on her personal schedule.

Is that so?

I'm sure...

there must be something going on that I don't know.

Go through the security footage from the parking lot and hallways.

Find out who has been visiting her office.

Yes, sir.

What about the other thing?

Nothing yet.

Not yet?

The thing is, Kyung Jun asked me to stop by his office this week.

He said he wanted to send his close acquaintance abroad.

He said they had to start getting ready...

and asked for my help.

A close acquaintance of his?

He didn't tell you who it was?

No. I asked him, but...

He won't tell me.

I'll pretend you never told me about this,

so don't tell him.

If it's something I need to know,

tell me when you're back.

Yes, sir.

Come to the dining room if you two are done talking.

Lunch is ready.

Mr. Oh, you should stay for lunch.

No, I should get going.

Soo Wan.

When you're with me, you can relax and let loose.

You know that I completely trust you.

Keeping your distance from those who trust you...

could make them not want to trust you anymore.

You see,

I really don't want to lose you and Ms. An.

Let's go eat.

Yes, sir. I'll heed your advice.

The fever is gone,

and her throat is better too.

You can put your worries to rest now, ma'am.

Eun Byeol, thank you for taking your medicine so well.

This time, I'll give you the strawberry flavor.

Okay!

She needs to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

And make sure the air in the house isn't dry.

Thank you, Doctor.

Let's go, Eun Byeol.

Take care.

Bye.

(Yeong I)

You're done with your morning appointments.

Aren't you heading out for lunch?

Yes, I should.

- Do Young. - Yes, Eun Ho.

Why are you calling my name so sweetly?

I'm sure you heard...

that Yeong I sent a letter...

to Do Jin's cornea recipient.

Yes, she told me yesterday.

The elders are happy about it too.

Do you know if they wrote her back?

Are they planning to meet?

Or was there a phone number written on their letter?

No, I'm not sure.

But she said she wrote that...

they should wish each other the best and trust all was well.

She wrote that they shouldn't be curious anymore.

So even if they write her back,

they won't include their phone number...

or ask her to meet in person.

Really?

Do Young, aren't you curious?

Don't you want to meet the person who received your brother's corneas?

I mean, as his family.

Well, I'd rather not know.

If that person lost his vision again,

or if it's someone who's miserable,

I'll be really sad.

"No news is good news." "Leave things as they are."

Those are my favorite sayings.

So I'd rather not know.

Anyway, why do you keep asking me about this?

Oh, it's nothing.

Let's go have lunch.

All right. Beef bone soup for Table Three!

Okay!

Here.

Did you call Chang Yi?

Why bother him? He's a busy man.

I can just visit him around lunchtime.

If I leave now, it'll be perfect.

Mother, are you sure you don't need me to come with you?

Just stay here and work.

If you tag along...

and get into another fight with him, there's no going back.

I'll feed him...

and make him feel better.

Mother, I'm not a kid who fights all the time.

- I'll see you later. - All right.

(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)

- See you later. - All right. Work hard.

Yeong I, aren't you joining us for lunch?

Oh, I'm...

I guess she has other plans. Let's just go.

A lunch date with Managing Director Jang? I'm jealous.

I have to eat with my managers.

What are you going to have? Are you going out for lunch?

Or will you stay...

- See you. - Enjoy your lunch.

Lunch is on me.

To celebrate the launch of our new lunchbox.

I'll meet you outside.

(Kyung Jun)

(Nurse Jung)

Nurse Jung.

You still haven't deleted my number?

Of course, I haven't.

You worked with Do Jin until his last day...

and helped us so much when we were looking for witnesses.

How could I delete your number?

I'm sorry I haven't been in touch.

How have you been? Are you in Seoul now?

I'll be there this evening.

If you have some time, we should meet.

I have something to tell you.

Someone came by recently and asked questions about Dr. Kim.

Who is it?

Who was that person, Nurse Jung?

He didn't say. It was a young man.

If you're free this evening, let's talk in person.

I can leave earlier than I had planned.

Okay, sure.

Text me when and where to meet.

I'll meet you there.

Thank you for calling.

A nurse?

Is everything okay, Yeong I?

So the person who called you...

was the nurse your husband worked with...

up until the accident took place?

At the time, he was...

working in a small seaside town as a public health doctor.

She worked with him,

so the family bothered her a lot.

The police had concluded...

that he simply lost his footing and drowned,

but like most families would,

we just couldn't believe it.

We asked her about that day over and over.

We knew it wouldn't change the outcome,

but we couldn't help it.

It was really sudden, so I understand it was hard...

to come to terms with it.

That day,

he heard I had gone into labor.

He left as soon as he received the call.

He was in a rush to get to the hospital.

My mother-in-law...

must've resented me a lot.

Even I resented myself the most.

It's not your fault.

But who...

I mean, why does this person want to know about his accident?

She said she'd tell me more in person.

But I'm a little scared, to tell you the truth.

I should meet her though, right?

There might be some things that I don't know about.

If you don't mind,

I'll go with you.

Thank you.

Oh, earlier...

Didn't you say you had something to tell me? What was it?

Oh, right.

The CEO wants to reward you for the successful launch...

of the lunchbox you proposed.

You went through a lot before the launch.

We were thinking a gift card or a travel voucher would be good,

but I wanted to ask you if there was anything specific you'd like.

I just did my job.

I'm not sure if I can accept such a reward.

The company wants to reward you because you deserve it.

Don't say no.

Think about it.

Okay.

(Pureun Bank)

Chang Yi, I'm here.

(Branch Manager Park Tae Soo)

Oh, may I help you?

What?

Who are you?

This is...

my son Chang Yi's office.

Isn't this the branch manager's office?

Yes, it is.

Oh, you must be here to see the former branch manager.

What?

"Former branch manager?" What do you mean?

My younger son, Chang Yi.

Kim Chang Yi is the manager of this Pureun Bank branch.

Tell me. What is going on here?

Mr. Kim Chang Yi...

Something happened at the bank, so...

Gosh, this is so frustrating.

Okay, something happened at the bank.

So what happened to my son?

He was asked to resign.

- What? He was asked to resign? - My gosh, ma'am.

Ma'am, are you all right?

Oh, dear.

- I'm sorry for bothering you. - Gosh.

Oh, boy. Don't tell anyone that I was here.

- Please don't tell anyone. - I won't.

All right, then.

Oh, dear.

Gosh, my goodness.

My gosh.

What on earth did he do...

that they let him go and replaced him?

Chang Yi worked so hard to get there.

Gosh, let's see.

Hello, Mother.

Hi, son.

Are you very busy these days?

Where are you?

At the bank, of course.

Today has been very hectic.

Oh, really?

Then I'll let you get back to work.

It's okay. I'm taking a short break now anyway.

I'm sorry for leaving like that...

and not even calling you after that.

I've been meaning to visit you.

I want to apologize to Chang Il too.

Take your time.

We're not going anywhere.

We're always here, you know.

Okay.

Chang Yi.

Yes.

Have you eaten yet?

Did you have lunch?

Yes, I did.

Gosh. I'm so glad to hear that, my dear son.

All right.

Okay.

No matter how rushed you feel,

you should never skip a meal. Okay?

Okay. Bye.

Where should I go now?

Hello, Mr. Chairman.

This is Branch Manager Kim Chang Yi...

- This is Kim Chang Yi. - Yes.

It's been a while.

I've actually...

been meaning to call you to ask you to have lunch with me.

You must've been under a lot of stress...

because of your daughter.

I'm sorry for what happened.

No, don't be. They just weren't meant to be.

Anyway, I need to talk to you about something.

I'd like to meet with you soon.

Judging from your voice, it doesn't sound like good news.

All right. I'll call you back soon.

Let's meet soon.

Hey.

Why are you so startled to see me?

Am I a ghost or what?

No, I'm not startled. I came down to make myself a cup of coffee.

You didn't have breakfast or lunch.

You shouldn't be drinking coffee now.

Ms. An.

Yes, sir.

Make a hot pot of ssanghwa tea...

and bring it to my room.

With egg yolks on top.

I'll drink it with Se Jun.

Sure thing, sir.

I don't like ssanghwa tea.

It's good for you. Think of it as medicine, Se Jun.

Let's play Go, Se Jun. It's been a while.

You rascal.

I was bored, so this is perfect.

Okay.

I haven't had time...

to play Go with you recently,

so your skills must've gotten rusty.

You should go with Black.

Lay out about 4 to 5 stones, and we'll start.

That will put you at a disadvantage though.

We don't know that until we start playing.

Are you happy to be taking some time off work?

I will not ask you the real reason...

you decided to take a leave of absence.

Both your brother and I feel the same way.

You're the youngest one in the family, Se Jun.

Feel free to act like a kid...

and just rely on us.

I wish you could be like that.

But I'm all grown up now, Grandpa.

It doesn't matter.

I'm just telling you how I feel.

When you were little, you were always so cheerful.

And you took such good care...

of your elder brother, who couldn't see.

You always cheered us up and helped us forget about our worries.

Is it because you had to become mature at such a young age?

Or is it work that made you become like this?

These days,

you always seem so gloomy.

It worries me.

Grandpa, I'm afraid you'd find out everything.

It terrifies me.

I'm being like this because I'm scared.

Se Jun.

Grandpa.

I'm...

considering moving to the UK.

The UK? Why all of a sudden?

You remember Ja Young, right? My ex-girlfriend.

She's in the UK now.

Kyung Jun will get married soon,

and seeing that made me want to get back together with Ja Young.

But Mom will be against it, of course.

So I'm thinking we should just move in together in the UK.

The two of you... It was indeed a sad breakup.

But I thought...

you were already over her.

You shouldn't rush into making such a decision.

Let's think about it.

Come on in.

Hello, Mother.

I thought you were a ghost or something.

I've been under a lot of stress,

and my skin is showing it.

Please take a seat.

Look at you helping other restaurants.

Goodness. Way to go.

You have rice and kimchi at home.

You think money grows on trees?

Mother, you own a restaurant yourself.

Sometimes, it's cheaper to just order food from restaurants.

Put this in the fridge.

Heat it up and give it to Chang Yi.

You brought beef bone soup?

You didn't need to bring a bribe like this.

What? A bribe?

It is a bribe.

"Yeong I and Kyung Jun are in a relationship,"

"so persuade Hae Mi to give up."

Aren't you here to tell me that?

But you see, Mother...

The marriage talks between him and Hae Mi happened first.

Yeong I is the one who stepped in and ruined it all.

Hwa Kyung.

My daughter nearly died because of Yeong I.

Everyone is so mean to us.

You, Chang Il, and Eun Sook too.

You really hurt my feelings.

What happened to Hae Mi is a separate issue.

On the anniversary of Do Jin's passing,

we had to cancel the memorial ceremony...

because you lashed out and caused a scene. Remember?

We prepared all the food for the ceremony but had to cancel it...

because you lost it and went bonkers.

Listen, Hwa Kyung. Even if you apologize...

to Yeong I and Do Jin's parents a hundred times,

it won't be enough!

Well, I'm not proud of what I did that day.

However,

Yeong I ruined my daughter's future.

Why should I care about the death anniversary of...

someone else's child?

What? Did you just say "someone else's child?"

Is Do Jin a stranger's child to you?

Well, he is not my child.

Oh, dear.

Judging by the way you talk,

I can just see how stressed out Chang Yi must have been...

between the two families.

Even now, do you know...

what he's going through?

My goodness. You're his wife. How could you be so slow-witted?

Mother, what do you mean?

Why are you saying I'm slow-witted?

It's all over now.

Just try to make Hae Mi feel better.

From now on, cook at home instead of ordering in all the time.

Save money. How much longer will you keep wasting money?

Gosh, I'm so angry!

- Oh, dear. - Wait, Mother!

Get home safely.

I've been living this way for years.

She's just picking on me for no reason.

(The Love in Your Eyes)

I have a granddaughter now.

Visit us with Mi Ri Nae.

So you will marry him?

Do you think I'll leave you alone after you marry him?

I heard you received a letter from the donor's family.

I'll drop off my letter at the hospital in the morning.

Really?

Your husband donated his corneas?
