Ms. Song!

How was the exam?

Was it easier or harder than last year?

The other test-takers seemed relieved.

Ms. Song?

Ms. Song!

I completely tanked it!

It's all right.

Don't be like that and eat up.

Moping won't bring your answer sheet back.

No. I don't deserve to put food in my mouth.

Who am I to eat Korean beef when I deserve to suffer?

My brain just refuses to be smart.

Why can't I remember what I kept memorizing?

I didn't know that.

Can people really not remember what they memorized?

Are you kidding me?

I'm just fascinated, that's all.

I have no problem remembering what I skim through.

It must be because I eat a lot of meat.

Then I should eat.

I need to get back on my feet so that I can beat all those smart people

who don't need to study much to pass.

That's right. How wise of you.

Right.

Did you meet your friend while I took the exam?

Don't tell me you waited the whole time.

Why would I? It's not like I'm your mother.

My friend lives nearby.

I just left around the time your exam ended.

Okay, enough talking. Now eat.

Got it. I'm eating as we speak.

MOM

Yes, Mom.

Da-hee, is the exam over?

How was it? Did you do well?

I guess. I think I did okay.

Why didn't you call?

I waited for your call.

Where are you? You should come home.

I came home early to fix you a nice dinner.

What? Right, I should go home. I'll be right there.

Actually, I'm on my way.

Cho-yeon, snap out of it. What's wrong?

What?

Oh, right.

What's the matter? You've been out of it all day.

Was yesterday's volunteer work exhausting?

No, not at all.

I'm just out of it today. I don't feel like working.

Things were so busy at lunch. I feel so sleepy now.

Let's get some fresh air in here.

-Hello, Mr. Song. -Hi.

Are you heading home already?

My daughter took an exam, so I'm grilling meat.

-I hope you enjoy it. -Thanks. I'll see you around.

-Bye. -Bye.

No way. It can't be.

What are you talking about? You're so strange today.

You're spacing out and talking to yourself.

This work doesn't suit you? Want to try something else?

That's not it. I like things here.

It's just one of those strange days today.

-What's going on? -Beats me.

I'm home.

-Hi. -You're back!

What took you so long?

Everyone's been waiting for you.

Sorry about that. I was stuck in traffic.

You should've started without me.

Ms. Jang, may we eat now?

We'll start with the thin flank.

How did you do on the exam?

I'm sure you had a feeling about how you did.

I answered all the questions in time, but…

I told you to guess number one for everything.

Trying to answer them can land you a lower score.

What about math? Did you answer the advanced questions?

No. Two of them were too difficult for me.

I answered the other two, but I don't remember. I was so nervous.

Forget it. The exam is over now, and only fate knows your score. Good work.

Right, good work. Now, let's eat. Guys, dig in.

Until when?

-Until we barf! -That's it.

Gosh, how disgusting.

You know how it is with results.

It'd be great if your hard work pays off, but that's not always the case.

When I came to Seoul with nothing--

Honey, here you go.

-Gosh, that's hot. -There.

Da-hee, eat up. You must be exhausted.

Thanks, Mom. How appetizing!

Ji-hun, you too.

Don't pick at it just because you're meeting your dad tomorrow.

-Sure thing, Grandma. -Good.

Dad, my foot. He's such a sly jerk.

Don't.

Ji-hun, do you want some soda? I'll get it for you.

Hyo-sin, can you bring soju?

The beef is so good that I can't stop eating.

Sure.

There aren't any clean cups.

Here's the indigestion medicine.

This is unusual. You never get indigestion.

You didn't even eat much.

Actually, I already ate before coming home.

-Three portions of beef, to be exact. -Really? With whom?

Oh, a friend.

A friend?

Now you're being suspicious.

What friend? Male or female?

Well, he's a guy.

But he's just a friend.

You have a male friend? Who is he?

Who is he?

He's someone I used to work with at the travel agency.

He treats me often because he's well off.

No matter how rich he may be,

he took time out of his weekend to buy you meat.

And good quality meat.

That means he has a crush on you. I would bet my arm on it.

No way. That doesn't make sense, Ga-hee.

Of course it makes sense.

How are you sure? It's not like you can read his mind.

I believe that there can't be

any form of friendship between a man and a woman.

You're wrong. We're not like that at all.

Actually, we can never be what you're implying.

Why not? Why can't it ever happen?

Well, that's…

Considering where we belong

and our situations.

Where you belong? What do you mean?

Well, anyway, it's not the case.

It's never the case for us.

I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry!

You car thief.

My car isn't yours to take.

Your car can be mine.

We're brothers. Don't be so strict about it.

How can my car be yours? Just how?

I still have monthly installments left on that car.

Are you going to pay for the rest of it, then?

Gosh, stop!

You're so violent!

Why do you try to solve everything with violence?

It's unsophisticated.

What? Come here. You need more of a beating, don't you?

Oh please!

I'm sorry I took it without asking.

-I'll pay the impound fee. -Of course you should pay for it.

Text me your account number. I'll wire it.

Anyway, where did you go after stealing my car?

Just somewhere.

I took it somewhere.

Where did you go with whom? To do what?

Don't try to know every detail of my personal life.

Knowing will only hurt you.

-That tone definitely deserves a beating. -Why again?

Why? Stop hitting me, darn it.

Seong-mo, this is Ji-hun.

I called about our group project. You didn't check your e-mail.

Sorry about that. I've been outside all day.

My dad and I are at the Han River camping site.

I see.

We're just about to make some ramyeon.

There's even a swimming pool here.

Really? Sounds fun.

Yes. It's really fun.

I'll check my e-mail as soon as I get home. Bye!

Bye.

I'd love to go camping too.

Goodness.

Ji-hun, you're up early today.

Yes, Grandpa.

I bet you woke up early

because you were excited about seeing your dad.

It's not like that.

Are you that excited?

That's not it.

-I should get that. -Sure.

Talk about the bond between father and son.

He still loves seeing him after getting hurt so much.

DAD

-Dad? -Hi, Son.

We're hanging out today, right? What would you like to eat?

Dad, I'm not craving anything.

Can we go to the Han River camping site?

The Han River camping site? That's out of the blue.

My friend went there, and he had a blast.

I'd love to go there too.

Sure thing. It's not that far anyway.

I'll pick you up after school, okay?

Really?

Yes, of course.

I'll see you at the front gate later. Bye for now.

Okay. See you later, Dad.

Ji-hun, did you pack your bag?

Mom, I'm going camping. Dad's taking me to the campsite at Han River.

Really? You must be excited. Be safe out there.

I will.

Mom, can you pack me some clothes?

Dad's picking me up at school.

My socks too.

All right. I'll get them for you.

Goodness. Seo-jin, welcome.

Hi, Seo-jin!

Did you all sleep well?

Father, it's been a long time.

I know.

Thank you for the dress shirt. I love the color.

I'm glad.

I'm sorry about the other day, Mother.

I knocked some sense into Seo-yeong. She'll pick up Seo-jin later.

It's all right. Seo-jin doesn't slow us down one bit.

Everyone at the market adores her too.

She's still a handful.

Hyeon-gyeong, I'm staying home today,

so I'll babysit Seo-jin instead. Don't worry.

You must be exhausted from the exam.

It's just until this evening.

Okay. Seo-jin and I are like besties, so we will be fine.

Isn't that right, Seo-jin?

-Let's go. -Bye.

-Bye. -Say bye.

Mother and Father, I'll see you later.

Okay. Have a nice day.

Don't worry and focus on your work. Drive safely.

Okay. Bye.

She seems to have lost weight.

And her face is haggard.

I know. It's not easy to make money.

When I first met her, she looked so elegant with fair skin.

But now her skin seems pretty rough.

Da-hee is taking care of Seo-jin. Call her as soon as your class is over.

Now that she's with Aunt Da-hee, can't I come home late?

No. You're being punished for breaking your promise.

Bring her home right after your class.

Aren't you going to answer me?

Yes, I will. Happy now?

Gosh, what's up with her?

Yes, that's right.

I posted it.

From today?

Yes. I can start today.

Okay. Bye.

Ok-ja. Your skin looks good.

You have a healthy glow on your face.

Did you do something?

I think so. What is it this time? A moisturizing shot?

Gosh, no.

I don't go to any skin clinics these days.

Really? But why are you getting prettier?

Are you dating someone these days?

What?

My goodness.

As if a flower would bloom on a dead tree.

I was flustered at myself for saying that too.

You are always busy frying chickens. You have no time for romance.

You're right.

By the way, I'm still tired from the voluntary work at the orphanage.

Are you guys all right?

I'm tired too.

I think President Song is impressive.

It's been over ten years since he started sponsoring the orphanage.

How could he do that? It must've cost a lot of money.

My point exactly.

The association joined him only two years ago.

It's not an easy thing to do.

But for Yeong-dal,

it's about taking the load off his mind.

Taking the load off his mind?

What do you mean?

This is a private matter,

so I'm not sure if I can tell you this.

The thing is, Yeong-dal had a sister--

Oh, hello. You guys are here.

Ok-bun and Yeong-dal, when did you come?

-Hello. -Hey, Ok-bun.

If you came early, you should've prepared for business.

Why are you chattering away here early in the morning?

Right. You should get ready.

-We should get going. -Bye.

See you.

Let's start making the batter, then.

I'll go bring it.

Okay. The batter. All right.

Hey, you.

What?

Do you really not know why, you blabbermouth?

I mean, they were curious.

It's not like there's some kind of secret to his birth.

It's just a private matter.

I don't know why we have to hush it up.

Stop it, you wench!

It's not just a private matter.

He's been brokenhearted all his life because of it.

Do you have to run off your mouth like that?

No, I mean--

Shut it.

How ridiculous.

She always badmouths him for being so stingy.

But she actually loves him so much.

I should go see the face of my love too.

Hello.

Hey.

Wait, Ms. Jang.

Would you like to have some tea?

Well… I just had coffee.

I have something better than coffee.

Please come on in.

UNNIE'S GIMBAP

What? That's strange.

Since when did she start sharing good things with me?

They are tea leaves collected deep in the mountains.

It's good for relieving fatigue.

Well… this isn't really my thing.

Where are the girls?

They haven't come to work yet.

Well, about President Song…

My brother-in-law?

What about him?

I heard that he has a younger sister.

A younger sister?

Where does his sister live, and what does she do?

What?

Is she doing all right?

Or is there a chance…

She's doing fine.

Is she? Really?

Of course she's doing all right.

She's running a business somewhere in the countryside.

She's living a good life.

What a strange question.

Anyway, thank you for the tea.

Are you leaving already?

Yes. I'm a little busy.

Just so you know, I prefer coffee over tea.

I like Americanos.

Gosh. Of course.

What did I expect?

My heart shook up over that one song for nothing.

Cho-yeon, where are you?

We're here, Cho-yeon.

Okay. I'm coming.

Seo-jin, who is this?

Is it me?

What? Do I look this ugly?

Seo-jin, I'm upset.

All right. That's good.

It's becoming prettier. There you go.

Gosh, I like it.

Are you done? Do you want to stop?

Seo-jin, do you want some snacks? What about a banana?

No? What do you want then? Do you want to play Doctor?

No?

What is it? What do you want?

Do you want to go out? Where?

Just go outside?

Do you need some fresh air? Okay.

Do you want to go to Grandma's store with me?

Okay.

Seo-jin, you're such a doer. You're so quick.

All right. Let's go.

Come to my place after work.

The part-timer quit again after working just one day.

Why is it me again?

Gyu-jin is your son too.

You're better than him because you're younger.

Stop complaining and come right after work.

You better.

Good girl.

Hey, I should go. Bye.

Da-hee!

Hello.

Who is this girl? Is she your niece?

Yes. She's my brother's daughter.

I see. My gosh.

She's so adorable.

I bet she takes after her mom.

Her dad has a wide, ugly face.

Gosh.

Where are you going? Are you going to the market?

Yes. She was bored.

Did the part-timer quit again?

Yes. It's driving me crazy.

What's wrong with kids these days?

They can't hold out even for three days.

I can't close the shop though.

This is just frustrating.

Well, would you like some help, then?

Can you do that?

I'd love that.

I'll help you out just for a moment.

Okay. Thank you so much.

Let's go in, princess.

Let's go, sweetheart.

Come with me.

Unbelievable.

She hangs up on me all the time.

Why do I suddenly miss Song Da-hee so much?

Shall I call her?

No. I have no reason to.

Yes. Let's stay away from her for about a day.

Okay.

Since the day

I met you

Why is there no reason, Jae-seok? Come up with a reason.

What is there? What could I say?

That I called her by mistake?

No, she'll notice it right away.

That's too obvious. You fool.

No. It's Song Da-hee.

Yes. She's Song Da-hee.

Dr. Yoon. Your 3 p.m. patient arrived a little early.

-Why now? -Pardon?

What? No, sorry. Send the patient in.

Leave that and sit down for some juice.

Okay. Thank you for the juice.

Drink up. Good girl.

She's so pretty. How come she can't…

Anyway, you're such a great worker.

You got everything done in a short time.

You're so quick, Da-hee.

That's not true.

Seo-jin, Auntie got a compliment.

So did you do well in the exam?

I don't know. I'll just have to wait for the results.

Then what will you do until then?

I'll do what I couldn't until now.

I'll get some fresh air, read some books, and exercise.

Then you can work for me every now and then.

As a part-timer, can't you?

Well, I guess.

Da-hee. I'll be direct. Will you help me?

What? Well, Ms. Choi…

Until I find a part-timer. Just for a few hours a day.

I would like to help you, but the thing is…

What? Are you worried about your mom?

We can keep it from her.

We don't even cross paths these days.

If you're about to get caught, you have a side door over there.

Escape through that.

You know about my situation.

At least until your exam results come out. Please.

Then…

I have plans tomorrow.

If I can start from the day after…

Of course, I'm okay with that. That is very okay.

That's okay.

Little princess. Do you want something else to eat?

Very nice.

Let's film the reactions of this scene in ten minutes.

-Okay. -Okay!

Jun-seon. Did you actually hit him at the end?

-It looked too real. -Don't overreact.

Okay. Jong-su, you keep acting half a beat slowly.

-Move more quickly. -Be quiet.

Okay. Hyo-sin, you--

Leave him alone.

-Mr. Song. -Yes, Director.

Your stunts are great. How about we add some more?

-For real? -Of course, you'll be paid more.

That'd be great. Thank you, Director!

He looks good on camera, so come up with some flashier stunts.

Oh, I get what you mean. More flashy moves.

Yes.

Since the preview, other directors have been asking

what stunt team I hired.

You might get much more work.

If you get busy, won't it be harder to work with you?

Don't say that, Director.

However busy we are,

we'll be there for you no matter what!

-For loyalty! -For loyalty!

-Thank you! -You're so cool.

Thank you.

Let's go.

HONEST AND SMART JUNGANG CHILDREN

What time is math class?

DAD

The person you are calling is unavailable.

Dad.

Should I call her now or not?

Call? Or not?

-Oh gosh. -Good girl.

Oh? Mr. Yoon.

Hello, Ms. Song.

What brought you here? I'm sure it's not for coffee.

I dropped by on my way past.

I helped Ms. Choi.

Who's this little lady?

Is she your secret daughter?

Yes, she's my daughter. Don't we look alike?

You don't look alike at all.

It's written on her face that she's your niece.

Hello. I am Yoon Jae-seok. Let's be friends.

Nice to meet you.

You don't want to shake hands?

Right, I'm old enough to be your uncle. Sorry.

You're so smart. Good girl.

Ms. Seo-jin, will you marry me?

So what did you do today? Were you at home all day?

Yes. I slacked off at home and played with Seo-jin.

I spent some time at the cafe, and it got dark.

The day was so long when I studied. It's so short now that I don't.

I'm jealous. My day was so long.

Oh. Ms. Seo-jin, will you marry me again?

What's your plan tomorrow? Lay around again?

No. Tomorrow, I have plans.

What plans?

Okay, Ms. Seo-jin. There. Are you meeting friends? For drinks?

No. It's something I always wanted to do.

What's that? Oh, jeez.

Ms. Seo-jin. What is it?

Oh dear.

I'm sorry. I'll get you another one.

What have you wanted to do?

Riding a bike.

From Han River all the way to Ara Waterway.

Oh, Ara Waterway?

The weather's perfect.

I saw the route on TV, and it looked lovely.

I'll give it a go tomorrow.

That's just great.

Shall I join you?

It's actually my day off tomorrow.

Really?

Yes. This is great timing.

Let's go together.

I love riding bikes, you know.

Biking is fun. Seo-jin, this is how you pedal.

I'd enjoy your company. It won't be boring.

-Okay, deal. -Deal.

-So we are riding bikes tomorrow, okay? -Okay. Let's ride!

Hi, Seo-yeong. I'm outside.

Can I have the day off instead of you tomorrow?

It's urgent.

Yes. I'll be home soon.

Where are you?

This soju tastes so sweet.

You added sugar to it, didn't you?

I didn't, Jun-seon.

And I think we chose an expensive place.

They serve wild caught eels.

We'll need at least 100,000 won for this meal.

Guys, just eat up already. It's fine.

Are you looking down on the CEO of Good Action?

It's our first team dinner since Hyo-sin joined,

so let's eat and do a good job.

Do you know how to eat grilled eel?

First, try a piece with salt.

Then dip another piece in the sauce. Let's go at it like warriors.

-Then let's enjoy. -We'll enjoy it, then.

Thanks, Jun-seon.

Guys, I'm in a great mood today.

Our hard work finally paid off.

I told you.

People like us train for 100 hours

just to be seen for ten seconds.

Thank you for enduring all the hard training.

Let's keep up the good work.

-Sure thing. -I'll keep that in mind.

I'll work hard.

Just a second.

My daughter!

Dad, where are you?

Me? I'm out having dinner.

I turned on the gas stove to make ramyeon,

but it's beeping like crazy, and I'm scared. What now?

Mom's not picking up.

What if the house burns down?

Seo-yeong, open the windows first.

And shut off the gas valve.

Hang tight. I'll be right over.

Do what I just told you.

And take Seo-jin outside and wait for me.

I'll be right there.

What's wrong, Jun-seon?

-Is it Seo-yeong? Is something up? -She says the gas stove is beeping.

Finish your dinner, and pay for it with my card.

Let's take a rain check on the team dinner. Sorry.

But, Jun-seon, at least have a bite before you leave.

Grilled eel is his favorite.

-He never even got a bite. -What now?

Should we take this and eat it with him later?

I'm not sure.

You see, eel tastes best when it's just grilled.

I'll be off too. I don't like these anyway.

What? Hyo-sin, wait. You can't just leave--

-Hey! -Hyo-sin.

He's always like that.

What now? Should we head home too?

I don't know. I'll leave the choice to you.

Let's just eat.

I'm sure Jun-seon would want us to enjoy it.

Right? I totally agree.

Seriously?

Are you eating two at a time?

Then I'm going to eat three at a time.

-Jun-seon! He already left. -Jun-seon!

Seo-yeong, are you all right?

-Seo-jin, are you okay? -We're fine.

I opened the windows and shut off the valve.

But I'm still terrified.

I'm here, so you're okay now.

Stay here with Seo-jin.

So that's why.

-Is everything okay? -Yes, it's fine.

The stove burner head wasn't put on properly.

It prevents the flames from igniting.

Just a second.

Ta-da. There. It's not beeping anymore.

What? You're right.

Dad, you're the best!

If there's one thing I have a knack for,

it's household appliances.

You two must've been terrified.

We were. You have no idea.

The stove kept beeping, and Mom didn't answer her phone.

I wonder why she didn't.

She always does, even during her classes.

Beats me. Her sessions usually end early today.

Anyway, she's been annoying lately.

She told me to bring Seo-jin home right after my academy.

So you two haven't had dinner yet?

Not yet. There's rice in the rice cooker,

but I just wanted to make ramyeon.

Then let me make it for you.

You know how good mine tastes, right?

Don't I know it.

Smiley, Dad will cook ramyeon for us today.

Nice!

What are you talking about? You didn't meet Ji-hun? Why not?

Well, I was late getting to him because of work.

He wasn't there when I arrived.

He's not answering his phone.

I was wondering if he called you.

No, he didn't.

Just how late were you?

What? About half an hour.

Don't you lie to me.

He wouldn't have left after waiting only 30 minutes.

Right. I guess it was longer than 30 minutes.

About an hour and a half?

Kim Seung-hyeon!

Gosh, that startled me.

There's no need to yell.

It's just that Yoon-mi

always gets hysterical when I'm meeting Ji-hun.

I told her about our overnight camping trip,

and she went ballistic--

Shut it!

Do you have any idea how excited he was to go camping with you?

If anything has happened to Ji-hun,

I'll kill you myself!

I'm hanging up.

Darn it.

The person you are calling is unavailable.

Where on earth did he go?

My gosh.

Oh no.

Ji-hun…

Goodness.

Ji-hun?

Ji-hun!

Where on earth did he go?

Ji-hun?

What are you doing here?

I thought you were going camping with your dad.

Hyo-sin!

Look how you enjoy it as if you never cried.

Who cried?

I only had a little dust in my eyes.

I see. A little dust.

The judo gym is a bit dusty, isn't it?

Exactly. It's not clean at all.

It's gross if you ask me.

You know what happens when you laugh after crying?

I know. My mom told me.

It's my mom's specialty. Crying and then laughing.

Really? I thought that she only cried.

You know,

she's quite intriguing.

I know. She can be fun.

But my dad

doesn't care at all about his promises to me.

I doubt that.

You know how busy dads are. They really are.

Do you still want to go camping?

How about we go together?

I feel so weak.

We used to eat beef every two days,

so now my body can't function without it.

Don't you agree?

Tell me about it. I even get dizzy spells now.

This is your fault for not accepting Mr. Yang.

He isn't interested in you anymore.

It's not just the beef. He's stopped coming by too.

He must be done with her.

Yes, it's over now. He is no longer interested in her.

Can you two please shut it?

And being fond of freebies makes you look pathetic.

You should like someone for who they are, not for what they give you.

We're only saying this because he's a decent guy.

She's right. Mr. Yang's cool and manly.

That's enough.

Make sure to be on time tomorrow, and call it a day.

Unbelievable. The balance is still off.

Again? This shouldn't be happening.

Call Mr. Jung and ask if he left out a few receipts.

Hold on a second and let me add these up again.

Still, I'm glad we swapped for a new cleaning service

despite the higher cost.

It even does sanitation work for the Blue House,

so it can be more than trusted.

I'm glad I caught you both.

Come on in.

-You're working late. -Yes.

Cho-yeon, what brings you by?

I'm here to cash in these gift certificates.

Many customers paid with them today.

Can you wait a moment while I finish up here?

The balance seems to be off.

Goodness. It looks like someone has been embezzling.

What?

What do you mean, someone's been embezzling?

The numbers are quite obvious.

I thought we were all veterans here.

I ran my last business in a basement unit,

and I just needed to pay 20,000 won a month

to have the place sanitized with a woody scent.

This market is farther away from downtown, so how can it cost double that amount?

We hired a prestigious cleaning service.

Even so, it's still too expensive. And group charges should be cheaper.

Also, this handwritten receipt?

In this line of work, it's the same as a blank check.

Why wouldn't it be?

Any amount can be written down as the price of sale.

I know because I received many requests.

I never went along with it because I don't like lying.

Yeong-dal, where are you going?

This is S Cleaner, but business hours are over.

I'm Song Yeong-dal

of the Yongju Traditional Market Merchants' Association.

Yes, sir. How can I help you?

Answer my question truthfully.

If not, I'll report you to the police too.

Did you collude with Mr. Jung and write a higher price on our receipts?

Did you or didn't you? Just answer that.

Well--

Did you or didn't you?

He threatened that he'd switch cleaning services if I didn't.

Darn him.

Mr. Song, I was on my way to see you--

You jerk! It was you.

What's wrong, Mr. Song?

How could you do this to us?

How could you do this to the association?

When your store was flooded,

everyone got together to scoop out all the water.

Even if you got greedy over money, how could you do this to us of all people?

Mr. Song, I don't follow.

Do you still not get it?

I just talked to the cleaning service on the phone.

Mr. Song, you see…

What-- My gosh!

My head.

That jerk.

Stop right there!

-Mr. Jung, where are you hurrying off to? -I have somewhere to be.

Where?

Did you leave the stove on at home?

Or maybe you have gold hidden someplace.

Judging by all the money you skimmed, you could've bought yourself a golden cow.

You do have a knack for fraud.

What are you talking about?

Cut the nonsense and give me back my key.

I wouldn't have taken it if I was going to give it back.

Darn it. Give it back!

Hand over my key, or you might get hurt.

You!

-Stop right there. -Give it back!

I can't do that!

Goodness. I couldn't control my strength.

Oh dear.

Get over here. I got you.

-Come on. -You jerk.

You piece of garbage.

You're coming with us.

Guys, let's hold back a little.

Be gentle.

My gosh.

-Da-hee. -You're home.

Did Ji-hun come home?

Yes, a while ago. He's probably up on the rooftop.

He went upstairs.

The rooftop?

Where did you get all these?

I spent many nights outside.

These are the basic items.

Don't you have a home?

I don't.

That's why I'm living here in your house.

Should I crack an egg in?

No, I'll have it as it is.

Good. I'm glad we have the same preference.

Ta-da. Let's eat. I bet it's going to be good.

Nothing tastes better than ramyeon eaten at a camping site.

How is this camping? We're on our own rooftop.

The breeze is nice, we have a tent, and there's ramyeon.

What more do you want?

I guess it's not that bad.

Let's eat. I'll grill some marshmallows after this.

Can I do that instead? I've always wanted to try it.

It takes good skill though.

I can do it, you know.

Why don't we see who grills it better?

Challenge accepted.

Now eat up, or I'll eat it all.

Can you put some in here?

Thanks.

It's really hot.

It's hot.

-Is it? -Yes.

Have some kimchi too.

Do you want more?

-Yes. -Here you go.

There.

Is it good?

-Hold on. -Should we cook two more packets?

You're home.

What's going on? Why are you here?

Seo-yeong called while I was having dinner after work.

The stove was making a weird noise.

She was making ramyeon when the sound spooked her.

I came over to check.

Nothing happened. The burner head wasn't on properly.

I stayed and cooked for them instead.

Right, thank you.

Where were you the whole time?

Seo-yeong said

you usually have no sessions in the evening.

Oh, I was making up for the class I missed last week.

At this hour?

Yes. When our schedules don't work,

we sometimes do it in the evening.

-Moms want it this way. -I see.

-Aren't you leaving? -I was just about to.

Seo-yeong told me to stay until she fell asleep.

Anyway, I'll get going.

-Jun-seon, wait. -Yes?

Thank you for today.

What are you talking about? I did what I had to do.

You must be exhausted. I'll let you rest. Bye.

Additional tutoring sessions way past midnight?

Even a fool like me can see through that lie.

What have you been doing, Hyeon-gyeong?

My goodness.

What's all the mess?

Who did this in the kitchen?

Sorry, Mom. I wanted to clean up before I left, but I was late.

I'll come home with your favorite cheesecake later.

My gosh.

Where did she go after making such a mess?

Mr. Yoon!

Hey, slow down.

I'm sorry.

Were you waiting long?

No. I just got here.

Are you sure? I'm 20 minutes late.

Actually, I was about 15 minutes late.

I braced myself to be criticized, so I was glad that you weren't here.

By the way, what's in your bag? Did you bring a neck pillow or something?

No. You'll see.

Give me that. I'll carry it.

Are you sure? It's quite heavy.

That's nothing to me. Give me that.

This is--

It's a stone, not a pillow.

All right, then. Let's go.

Hang on. I need to be ready for this.

This is too heavy. Let's go!

Wait. You can't do this to me.

Hey, Mr. Yoon. Wait.

Hey.

You're slow.

I'm fast.

No, you're too slow.

-Let's go. -All right.

I got you.

-Are you having fun? -It's fun.

Don't do that.

No, I can't do it.

So where did Jun-seon go?

He's at a meeting. He'll come home late.

Jong-su, you should lie on your back.

Good. Eighty-seven, eighty-eight…

Hey, smarty pants. Aren't you doing it with us?

You should train hard so you won't get injured.

I'll do it later.

Even handsome guys like you get swollen faces

after eating ramyeon at night.

Your features are not so well-formed today.

Why sleep in a tent with the kid in the first place?

Can I come in?

Sure, Ga-hee. Come on in.

I guess you're off today.

Right. We're doing physical training today.

It's like preparation for tomorrow.

Then are you guys interested

in a special part-time job for today?

A part-time job?

YONGJU TRADITIONAL MARKET

As you might have already heard,

something shameful happened to the association.

As the president, I feel responsible for everything.

I'd like to apologize to you first.

It's not your fault.

He was determined to fool us. What could you have done?

He's right. He wasn't a stranger or anything.

How could he do that to us?

He was nice and diligent, so we all commended him so much.

They say you can't see into a person's mind.

He just had us fooled.

-I agree. -You're right.

Anyway, we have a vacancy,

and we need a new person for the job.

Why don't we recommend candidates today

and take a vote at the meeting in two days?

Go ahead and recommend someone decent.

He seems nice.

Can I recommend someone, then?

This person made

a significant contribution in handling this issue.

Ms. Kang from the gimbap restaurant.

What? Me?

Well, I haven't even been a class president before.

That's not a problem.

I agree with the president.

She will get the hang of it as time passes.

I think she'll make a good manager.

And she will work in great harmony with Mr. Yang.

I'm excited already.

All right, then. Ms. Kang Cho-yeon is a candidate.

Excuse me.

I have someone to recommend.

Ms. Jang Ok-ja from the chicken restaurant.

She knows a lot about the merchants' association.

I agree.

Well… I don't know. I've never thought of it before.

But now that I'm put forward as a candidate,

I'll run for election.

I agree. I recommend Ms. Jang too.

All right, then. We have two candidates,

Ms. Kang and Ms. Jang.

So? Are you fighting against Ms. Jang for that position?

Seriously? This is amazing.

What's so surprising?

Do you not think I can make it?

That's not what I mean. But are you sure about this?

She's been working here for a long time.

I know. I think the odds are against you.

She's been here a long time, and you're a newcomer.

Sometimes old ones need to be replaced with new ones

so the organization can improve.

Stagnant water is bound to rot.

I will teach that Button Eyes a lesson.

-Oh, look at you. -Cho-yeon, you sound determined.

My goodness.

Honey.

What made you recommend Ms. Kang?

To have her stay with Chi-su?

No, it's not like that.

She seems diligent and meticulous.

Yeong-dal. I know you recommended her,

but you're not going to vote for her, are you?

Well… It's just…

Gosh, he wouldn't do that.

He recommended her, but you're family. Right?

Of course, you're family. That's right.

I'm not worried about Yeong-dal.

The problem is Chi-su.

It's a good chance for him to be with her officially.

He'd never vote for you.

He'd vote for a woman he likes.

Well… You think?

Woof. Let's eat lunch. Let's meet in front of the real estate agency.

Meow. I'll be right there.

Oh dear.

I cared so much about it that I have a migraine now.

Gosh, I'm feeling dizzy.

And I feel sick to my stomach. What should I do?

What's wrong? Are you all right?

Is it bad?

Yes. It's really bad.

I think I should

go see a doctor.

My gosh. What's wrong?

It's so nice to be outside

and get fresh air instead of frying chicken.

I'm jealous of the fresh air now.

You're silly.

So what will you do with the election?

You'll vote for me, not for Ms. Kang, right?

That, of course, is a secret.

We're supposed to keep our votes a secret.

I can't tell you that.

What? Come on.

The lady from the gimbap restaurant was making me annoyed already.

Do you know what she said to me?

It's exactly like how bad money drives out good.

Why waste our precious time talking about someone else?

Let's talk about the two of us.

Only the two of us.

Well, what's there to talk about?

It's not like we don't know each other.

What do you mean? I have so many questions for you.

I want to know

if you put rice in the soup or pour soup on your rice.

I wonder if you prefer jjajangmyeon or jjamppong.

And if you prefer beaches or mountains.

And…

Hey, this is unfair.

You can't do this when I'm talking.

It's a bonus.

Because you bought me a delicious lunch.

Can I get more bonuses if I keep buying you lunch?

I'm not sure about that. Meow!

Wait for me, Ok-ja. Woof!

Meow! Catch me if you can.

I will catch you!

You're surprisingly fit. You pedal with so much energy.

I'm not sure about anything else, but I'm strong.

I'll give you that. You're strong.

I feel a little hungry.

Should I open my backpack now?

Here.

My dad's sweet and sour chicken rice balls. Ta-da!

Some cup noodles.

And some apples for dessert.

No wonder. That's why it was so heavy.

Doesn't it look nicer than anything from a restaurant?

It's like a picnic.

It is.

This is lovely.

I'll go and wash my hands before we eat.

Pour some hot water into the cup noodles.

Not too much.

See you in a bit.

I'm really sorry, Dr. Kim.

You can sleep when I'm on duty.

I'll give you my next day off too.

This is really important to me.

Why do you think I asked you so suddenly?

Yes. Okay.

I'll buy you a meal too. Take care. Thanks.

You're back. I was just sending an e-mail.

I'll do this in no time.

Take your time.

Okay.

You could ask Seong-u or Gi-yeong to do this for you.

I know that. I came to you on purpose.

I shouldn't waste an opportunity.

There. It's done.

I see no signs of inflammation and the wound's clean.

You must know already.

Does that mean you'll quit being my driver?

Of course. Must I tender my resignation?

No. But, instead, can I be your driver now?

I'm willing to.

No, I have revisions to make.

There's so much to do. You go ahead.

Okay, fine.

Your excuses are so detailed that I can't even whine.

That's all for today.

A fighter should know when to bide his time, right?

Bye.

-Doctor! -Si-hu. Let's weigh you.

My gosh. Once more.

Wow, you weigh so much. How heavy are you?

Si-hu, I said I'd visit you,

but I was too busy. I'm sorry.

-Where are you going? -He felt so suffocated.

To the rooftop to blow bubbles.

Wow, that's huge. Make one bigger.

Bigger?

He looks so excited, I can't even mention going back.

Will it be okay?

This much is fine. You're with a doctor.

You're right. How reliable.

Doctor, more. Blow me more.

More?

Okay. This time, I'll make a really big one.

Look.

Here's a big one!

Look.

Look, Si-hu. Isn't it huge?

Si-hu, look.

Why are they so close?

Others might think they're a family.

Goodness.

We filled our bellies. How about we pedal some more?

-Okay. -It's much lighter now.

The bag is almost flat. I'll carry it now.

Okay. Oh, your shoelace is untied.

This is dangerous, especially when riding a bike.

-Hang on. -No, I'll--

It's fine.

I'm really good at tying laces.

No matter how rich he may be,

he took time out of his weekend to buy you meat.

And good quality meat.

That means he has a crush on you.

I would bet my arm on it.

Mr. Yoon.

Yes?

I know it's not true,

but I'll ask just in case.

What?

Mr. Yoon.

Do you like me?

You don't, right?

It can't be. I must've lost my mind.

I like you.

What?

I like you, Ms. Song.

Very much, at that.

EPILOGUE

Hey, Mr. Kim Seung-hyeon.

What?

Ga-hee, what are you doing here?

Who are the fit young men with you?

Let's talk somewhere quiet.

I have to get to work. I'm late.

If you must talk, do it here and make it quick.

Here?

Can I say it here? Are you sure?

What? What do you want?

Ga-hee, what is this about?

You don't know what it's about?

I was so furious I couldn't sleep last night.

I didn't get much sleep either.

So is our Ji-hun okay?

You're asking that now?

I won't waste my breath.

What are you doing?

Ga-hee! Violence is bad!

Who said I'd hit you?

What… What's that for?

Stop being silly. What can you do with that?

You broke my most precious son's heart.

So I'll take something you value.

Ga-hee. No, right? Don't tell me--

Hold him tight.

Song Ga-hee, are you out of your mind?

Don't do that. Don't. No!

Wait! I'm sorry!

Ga-hee, I'm sorry! I'm sorry. It was terrible of me!

This is your last warning.

Make Ji-hun cry one more time,

and I'll shave a highway through your hair. Be careful.

I'll be careful.

I'll be careful.

I'll be careful.

Jang Ok-ja!

-Candidate One, Jang Ok-ja! -Jang Ok-ja!

Candidate Two!

Trust me!

Fine. Let's do this.

Sure. Let's do this.

It's perfect weather for voting.

Si-hu felt so suffocated, and I felt the same way.

It's nice here. You have all the help you need.

I don't know

what this feeling is either.

I hate that I feel this way.

Did you think about it?

We aren't just in-laws.

Let's not cross any lines and…

Can't you see that I've already crossed that line?
