All language subtitles for Beautiful Gong Shim EP 08

There must be something wrong with the seed in here, right?

No matter how hard I try, it's destined to just stay buried...

without being able to bloom, right?

Shim, why do you say that?

It's just like me.

No matter how hard I try, it never works.

It's just like me.

No matter how much I try,

I can't bloom.

(Episode 08)

If you sprout,

things will all go well with Shim, too.

Come on. You can do it.

- Hello.
- Hi, Dan Tae.

Where are you going?

Can't you see?

I'll dump this, then I'll get some water.

I see. Why don't you ask your daughter to do it?

Are you talking about Shim?

How can I? She's at work.

Did she go to work?

Of course she's at work. Look at the time.

What kind of question was that?

- See you then.
- All right. See you later.

Where did she go so early in the morning?

This phone is switched off. Please leave a message after...

Her cell phone is turned off.

I hope she doesn't miss her meals.

(Khong Shim)

This phone is switched off. Please leave a message after...

(Send photo)

I was daunted and discouraged in there.

I made you smile, right? If you smiled, call me.

Where in the world is she?

What's going on?

I haven't been able to reach her all day.

She's worrying me.

Where is Shim anyway?

Shim.

You didn't recognise me, right?

I passed by you on purpose, but you didn't notice.

I only looked for a girl with bobbed-hair.

I didn't expect you to have long hair.

I tried this on in the subway washroom.

It cheered me up.

I like it.

It's not as bad as I thought.

Really?

Guys really do prefer long hair, don't they?

I've had enough cheering up.

I'm going to go and change my wig in that washroom over there.

What a relief.

She's doing better than I expected.

Why aren't you asking me...

about why I cried yesterday?

Do you want to talk about it?

You can if you want.

That's not what I meant.

Don't most people get curious?

I cried my eyes out in front of you.

I'm sure it wasn't because of something exciting.

Why would I ask you about something hurtful?

If you wanted to talk about it, then you would've done so.

You just sounded like an adult.

Are you kidding me? Do you know how old I am?

Do you want to see my identification card?

I...

Just now, you acted really childish.

Do you know how mature I am?

I'm so mature that my nickname is kimchi, just like how...

Sorry. I can't always be funny, you know.

You know I quit, right?

I assume you texted me and called me...

because you knew.

Just don't ask.

I...

won't be talking about it.

I won't ask.

Don't tell me.

You must have been out all day.

Let's go home.

I didn't reply to your text...

because your photo wasn't funny enough.

It wasn't? What a lie. It was funny.

It wasn't.

I know you laughed. I can see you holding down a smile.

I tend to have a smiling face.

It was funny, right?

Did you laugh?

Tell me it was funny.

What? You quit?

Why?

What is it? Did something happen?

I'm sorry.

It wasn't the job for me, so I quit.

Did you really quit? Can't you go back?

No. It's over.

You should have tried to keep the job.

Don't you know how hard it is to get a job these days?

I'm sorry.

Shim quit her job?

Good. Her working there...

was bothering me anyway.

I just heard you talking to Mum and Dad.

Why did you quit?

I thought you heard.

I don't think I'm cut out for it.

It's okay. You made the right decision.

You'll find something better.

I'll help you look for a job.

Did you hurt your arm?

A little.

It's nothing.

How did you get that?

I was working out.

You should be careful.

I feel bad making our parents worry.

You should get a job at a law firm.

You can get hired anywhere if you aren't so picky.

I will.

Don't be concerned and just get some rest.

That's rare. She's never worried about me.

Shim.

I'm in front of your place.

If you're home, could you come out?

If you're not, please see me before you go in.

I'll wait for you.

I'm sorry.

My mother was completely disrespectful towards you.

I'll apologise on her behalf.

Also, I want to apologise as well.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

You can...

be bitter against me and my mother.

I understand her.

No one would understand why...

she would make you leave work just for being close to me.

The position wasn't...

something I deserved anyway.

I'm going to look for a job that's more suitable for me.

Don't worry.

I'm so embarrassed.

I don't know what to say.

Really, I'm fine.

Don't worry.

I know you're just saying that.

How can someone get over something like that so fast?

You know me.

I'm good at getting over things.

I'm really fine.

I'm more concerned about you.

Smile a little.

Thank you...

for saying that.

When I get a new job, I'll buy you dinner...

with my first paycheque.

Please wait for me.

When you get your first paycheque,

you have to promise to buy me dinner.

I will.

I was in the middle of something.

I better go.

All right.

Bye.

Bye.

Jin Soo?

I haven't talked to him ever since graduation.

Hey, Shim.

It's been a while. How are you?

I wanted to see if you were working these days.

There's a good gig. I called you earlier, but your phone was off.

Give me a call.

I almost ran into you.

Where are you going?

A friend of mine offered me a job. I'm on my way to an interview.

Really?

Congratulations.

Where is it?

It's nearby. There's an office just a few blocks from here.

I mean, what does the company do?

It's a distribution company. I'm busy. We'll talk later.

Good luck.

But why would they interview her at night?

On top of that, they called her out so suddenly.

What was with that bag, anyway?

Distribution?

Could it be a pyramid scheme?

If you're new, you might get worried and question...

if this is a pyramid scheme.

But look.

There are no pyramids here.

We're a star.

We call it network marketing.

- Network marketing.
- If you succeed in...

completing the three-day training,

you will start making...

10,000 dollars a month.

You're promised over 10,000 dollars a month.

10,000 dollars a month?

That's impossible.

Get him!

You're forbidden to move once the class starts.

I'll be collecting your phones...

so that you can focus.

Take out your phones.

Don't look at your phone!

Put it down.

All right, all right.

Let's focus on the lecture.

Why do we have to be interconnected with each other?

Underneath you, there will be 10 people branching off.

Underneath them will be 10 more branching off from each.

It'll continue to exponentially grow.

The branches will expand more and more.

This phone is switched off. Please leave...

Her phone's off again.

Did you just run away?

Yes.

Act natural. Be natural.

Are you running away from a pyramid scheme?

Yes. It's definitely a fraud.

I almost got in trouble because of a friend. Thank you.

No problem. Take care.

Those jerks.

First things first. If you want to participate in the business,

you must invest.

Did you all bring your bank account books?

I don't have any money in my account. Can I go?

You can get a loan.

Don't worry.

A loan? Gosh.

Who are you?

I just received a report on your illegal activity.

If any of you were scammed, get out of here.

Shim, come here.

Who are you?

I wonder.

Stay right there.

- Shim!
- Let go of me.

Shim. Goodness.

Shim, you should be more careful.

Why would you go anywhere for a job?

Couldn't you tell it was a fraud?

No.

I go blind when people offer me jobs.

Okay?

I'm not trying to tell you off or anything.

I'm not mad at you.

I'm just embarrassed at myself.

Thank you for saving me.

I'm sorry.

I've once been scammed, too.

The call from the Philippines was on April 18.

Then the call from Korea was on April 26, right?

Yes.

I'm certain it was the same man.

He had the same voice. I'm sure of it.

Then the suspect must be a man who travelled...

from the Philippines to Korea between April 18 and the 26.

The call on April 26 was made...

at a payphone near your house.

There was only one security camera across the street.

Not only was it far away, but the video quality is bad.

I've hired professionals to work on the video.

I don't care to catch him.

I just want to see Joon Pyo. That's my only wish.

I understand, Ma'am.

Hello.

- Hello.
- Lawyer Ahn.

Let me introduce you to Joon Soo's mother.

Hello, I'm Ahn Dan Tae.

- Are you Joon Soo's friend?
- Yes.

I hear you've been very helpful to the chairman.

No, I'm the one receiving all the favours.

I see. See you soon.

Goodbye.

He's the one looking for Joon Pyo, right?

This is approximately how Joon Pyo would look as a grownup.

We took his picture from when he disappeared to make it.

Then does that mean...

this is what he'll look like now?

I wouldn't say it's completely identical...

Tae Cheol, what if they end up finding Joon Pyo?

How are they going to find a kid we threw away 26 years ago?

Joon Pyo witnessed his mum getting hit.

Since then, he lost his speech and his memories.

You know it, too.

And plus, if his memories returned, he would have come back himself.

Don't you think so?

Either he completely lost his memories...

or he's dead.

We can't let them find him, and he can't be alive.

If you don't want things to go back to how they were,

you know what you have to do.

Welcome.

Is the lawyer away?

Yes. He's out. Can I help you?

I came to ask for advice on real estate fraud.

I see. If you want to press charges, take a seat...

and please fill this form out.

Sure.

Hold on.

Yes, hello.

Yes. The sentencing takes a couple of days.

Yes, I'll send it to you when we get it.

Or you can come and pick it up.

Yes.

Sergeant Ahn?

- Sergeant Yeom.
- Sergeant Ahn.

Can you look after him for just one day?

Who is he?

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Please do me a favour and keep him for a day.

You can let him play with your son.

Well, the thing is...

I haven't seen your son since his first birthday.

Here.

- Buy him some toys.
- I...

I'll see you tomorrow. Thank you so much.

Sergeant Yeom!

(Next day)

I got it. I'll take care of the kid.

I'll kill him or throw him out at a market.

I'll make sure no one finds him.

Tae Hee, I told you. I'll take care of him.

I'm hanging up. Bye.

Where is the child?

Where did he go?

I'm so sorry.

I lost the child.

What?

What are you saying?

You lost him? Where did you lose him?

I was distracted for a while, and he suddenly disappeared.

How can you lose him?

Go find him!

Go and find that child!

Ahn Dan Tae is Sergeant Ahn's son?

Okay, bye.

Are you all right?

Oh, my.

I'm sorry.

I'll come back another time.

Sorry.

So you'll buy two sets for now, right?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me that you were doing this?

I felt sorry.

I didn't want to pressure you.

There's no pressure between us.

Right.

I hear your husband plans on treating us girls out today.

Yes, but he won't be able to come...

because he needs to hire a new secretary.

I'll just have to pay for it.

Why did the secretary quit?

She didn't quit. I fired her.

Why would you do that?

You scared me.

Did I?

I'm sorry.

Anyway,

why would you fire his secretary?

We somehow hired a random person.

She was trying to get friendly with my son.

I was speechless. I fired her right away.

She needs to know her place.

Don't even bring it up.

It's giving me stress.

Right.

I should donate the makeup to the charity bazaar I'm organising.

Why didn't I think of that?

Jae Boon, can I order 50 more?

What? 50 more?

Of course.

Great. Order me 50 for now.

Tae Hee, thank you so much.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

I'll see you at the gathering then.

Make sure you dress up.

It's okay.

Just leave it there.

Hello, I saw the posting for an opening.

Yes.

You can leave that here.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Do they pay you on time?

I've been scammed too many times.

I just got my paycheque yesterday.

All right.

Bye.

Shim must have been so upset.

She was wrongfully dismissed,

but she was more worried about us.

She lied to us by saying that she quit.

My goodness.

I'm sorry.

It's because I'm incompetent.

I'm making you and the kids suffer.

Just so that I could sell more makeup,

I let her talk badly about Shim.

I couldn't say anything.

I only thanked her.

- Tae Hee!
- Tae Hee's here.

- Oh, my.
- Look at you.

- Hey.
- Hello.

- You look great.
- You're here.

Is that a new bag?

How did you know? My goodness.

Jae Boon.

Why are you dressed like that? You should get changed.

You look like a lady working at the market.

I know.

Yeom Tae Hee.

What's wrong?

Why are you looking at me like that?

How will you keep up your door-to-door sales with those eyes?

Forget that.

Are you crazy?

This is for looking down on my daughter and firing her wrongfully.

What are you talking about?

I'm...

Gong Shim's mother!

What?

You're her mother?

That's right.

She's my daughter.

You little...

Call the police. Call them.

Go ahead and call the police!

I'll tell the media how you wrongfully dismissed her.

Maybe this isn't for the police.

- Hey.
- My goodness!

- My gosh.
- Hey.

Return all the makeup now.

I won't sell any to you.

You... Ouch.

I only did what I should have done.

I didn't expect anything in return.

You're so modest.

Honey.

Did something happen to your shoulders?

You were fine this morning.

I think I pulled a muscle.

Go get a massage or something.

You're distracting me.

I heard you used to work at Cheonpoongan Law Firm.

What do you think about joining our legal team?

- Pardon me?
- Since you were at a law firm,

that proves you're competent.

We'd love it if you came.

What do you think?

You can become Star Group's family.

Well, I...

All right.

You'll accept, right?

Yes.

Enjoy.

Excuse me.

- Yes?
- Get me a sprite.

Sure.

Shim, this is for table two.

Okay.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Enjoy.

- Here is your sprite.
- Thanks.

Director Seok.

What are you doing here?

Dan Tae told me.

I guess this place really is popular.

How...

Miss.

Yes, coming.

I think you'll have to wait.

It's okay, I'll get takeout.

Let the cashier know then.

Hello?

Coming.

Go on.

I need more vegetables and sprite.

Sure. Ma'am, one more plate of vegetables.

Okay.

Here you go.

- I'm home.
- Hi.

- Here's some galbi.
- Why did you get meat for takeout?

I've hired...

Lawyer Gong to join our legal team.

- What?
- How can you treat her...

like that after all she has done?

You didn't even show up to dinner last time.

How can you be so rude?

I'll make it up to her.

Do it before you see her at work.

Invite her to the restaurant opening as well.

Call her now.

And we'll call a truce.

All right, I'll call her.

(Seok Joon Soo)

Hello?

Lawyer Gong, it's Joon Soo.

Yes, go ahead.

Are you free tomorrow?

I'd like to invite you to the opening of our restaurant.

Me?

Yes.

I would appreciate it if you would attend.

Sure. I'll be there.

Are you crazy?

What have you done?

We bumped into each other. Both of us needed to be careful.

This was intentional, wasn't it?

What? Isn't that too much?

Hey.

Gong Shim's sister.

Please. From now on, let's not bump into each other.

Because you're really annoying.

How do you like this place, Mother?

Restaurants are all the same.

What are you talking about?

To me, this restaurant looks so elegant, fantastic...

and neat, just like Joon Soo.

Joon Soo takes after me.

That's right.

Isn't that right, Joon Soo?

What do you mean?

It's nothing.

By the way,

isn't Lawyer Gong coming?

She told me that she'll be here.

I see.

Thank you for coming, Grandmother.

I came here because of business.

Okay.

- Please call me any time.
- Okay.

Joon Soo.

Thank you for coming.

This restaurant is really gorgeous.

Thank you for inviting me to such a beautiful place.

I hope your restaurant prospers.

Thank you.

What's going on?

My goodness. How are they close to each other?

How do they know each other?

Hello, Ma'am. I'm here.

How are you here?

Joon Soo invited me for the opening of this restaurant.

- I see.
- It's good to see you.

It's good to see you, too.

How is your health?

Joon Soo.

Did you invite that man named Ahn Dan Tae?

Yes. What's the matter?

I see. It's nothing.

Anyway, didn't you invite Lawyer Gong?

Why isn't she here yet?

I invited her.

You invited her, but she didn't come?

What's her problem?

Excuse me, Director.

Here we go.

This restaurant has changed a lot.

But the people here are still the same, aren't I right?

Of course. The taste is still the same, too.

It really is.

Oh, I almost forgot. I have something for you.

Take this. Your father left it behind last time.

I found it after he left, but I didn't know how to contact him,

so I kept it with me all this time.

What is this?

It's his passport.

Your father's passport?

Yes.

Ji Won, I'm going back to the Philippines. Don't worry about me.

He must've gotten his passport reissued...

before leaving without knowing he left it here.

Yes. I guess so.

- Thank you.
- Well done for today.

Bye.

We'll take an order, please.

- Okay.
- Well done.

You must've enjoyed the galbi here.

Yes.

I kept thinking about it.

To be honest, I never really tried it properly before.

I only smelled a lot of it.

I guess it's the agony of part-time workers.

Eat as much as you want today, so you won't think of it for a while.

No, it's on me today.

Because I work here, she'll give us good quality meat.

Can I order three portions of galbi please?

It's more delicious now that I'm eating it as a customer.

I think it's delicious, too.

Next time, you should come with your colleagues.

It'll help with the sales.

I should do that.

It's not so great to work here in the summer.

A cafe is a great place to work as a part-timer.

It's cool in summer and warm in winter.

Being in charge of hot charcoal here is the worst.

You get drenched in sweat.

I bet you never worked part-time before.

I did when I was studying overseas.

What kind of work did you do?

Shim.

Is it okay for me to have feelings for you?

Pardon?

I like you, Gong Shim.

Is that okay?

That's really cute. I mean it.

Shim.

What's wrong?

I can see you're worrying about something.

I was just thinking about stuff.

What's the matter?

Feel free to tell me about it.

It's okay.

All right. I'll go in then.

Don't stay out for too long. You'll get mosquito bites.

Okay.

It's flooding again.

Shim.

Shim, it's flooding again.

Please fix the leaking pipe.

- Again?
- Yes.

We must hurry.

You must feel uncomfortable.

Dan Tae, why don't you go to a jjimjilbang instead?

No, that's fine. I really hate jjimjilbang.

I find this place very comfortable.

Really? That's strange.

People usually feel uncomfortable in other people's houses.

I don't know why I find this house so comfortable.

It must be uncomfortable, but you'll have to sleep here tonight.

Yes, I will.

Shim, call a plumber and fix it properly this time.

This is the second time that this happened, so I feel sorry.

Yes, I will.

You don't need to. I don't mind my room getting flooded again.

I feel sleepy.

Good night, Dan Tae.

Good night, Dan Tae.

Okay. Good night.

Shim.

Good night.

Does your eye hurt?

Why did you pretend as if you were sleeping?

You scared me to death. You are so weird.

I wasn't pretending. I was trying to sleep by closing my eyes.

Do you expect me keep them open?

I was trying to tuck you in since your covers were all over the place.

Really?

Then here.

I'm going to sleep now.

So cover me up.

If you don't, it's going to be cold in the morning.

Mr Gong!

You scared me. What was that for?

Why did you slap me?

You scared me to death!

Who wouldn't be scared?

Gosh, you're so weird.

Goodness.

Goodness, is it that scary?

Why are they so surprised?

Did that rooftop guy go back up?

I'm not sure. I told him to have breakfast.

He went up so suddenly.

The washing machine must not work, either.

Mi, go on and help him with his laundry.

Me?

Come this way.

Okay.

It's fine if you already started the machine.

It's okay to put more in.

Give them to me.

Hey.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

I was a bit tense.

I apologise.

No, it's fine. It was me who was being careless.

We're neighbours, so I hope we'll get along from now on.

Sure, that sounds great.

Excuse me, then.

Dan Tae, breakfast is ready.

Okay, I'm coming.

Shim, breakfast is ready.

My goodness. He's acting like he lives here.

Shim, breakfast is ready. Hurry up.

I'm coming.

I washed my hands very thoroughly.

So don't worry...

and enjoy this dish.

Hey, Shim.

Come and have a seat.

The soup tastes great. The greens and side dishes taste amazing, too.

Ma'am, you are such a great cook.

I can't believe how delicious everything is.

My goodness. You are flattering.

Thank you, anyway.

I heard you always eat outside.

It's all homemade, so help yourself.

Thank you so much, but let's share this.

Let's eat together more often from now on.

All we need to do is another spoon on the table.

I really appreciate it, Mr Gong.

Here.

Please wipe your hands with it.

Thank you, Mi.

What's this?

A fish eye.

I saved one...

just for you.

I'll continue to bone the fish.

Shim, you're here just in time.

It started to sprout.

Did it?

Aren't you happy?

You were anticipating for it to sprout.

I'm happy.

What's wrong?

You don't seem so happy.

The sprout will be disappointed at you.

Hey, I've been meaning to tell you.

What is it?

I knew something was bothering you since last night.

Tell me about it.

I'm going to...

go to Jeju Island.

Pardon?

Jeju Island?

I got a job at...

a horticulture company.

The condition is that I have to work at Jeju Island.

I'll probably be there for about two years.

If I work there for two years,

they'll relocate me to their headquarter in Seoul.

I thought it'd be nice since I can put my major to work.

It's a horticultural farm in Jeju Island.

So the air will be nice.

I think it'll be a good opportunity.

I like you, Shim.

Director Seok.

I really mean it.

I didn't plan this,

but now that I've said it,

I've become more certain about my feelings.

Why would a person like you have feelings for me?

There are so many reasons...

why I like you.

No, actually,

there's only one reason.

I just really like you.

Director Seok. I...

Right now, I need...

some time of my own to learn how to love myself.

Right now, I'm a person with many faults.

So even if someone likes me,

I'll think that...

it's only because he feels sorry for me.

No.

I'm not like that.

I was really happy...

when you first told me...

that we were friends.

And that feeling...

never changed afterwards.

Until I gain...

confidence in myself...

to think that I deserve...

to be loved by someone,

please continue to support me like you always have.

I'm really sorry.

But I'll get going first.

This is for being rebellious today.

Shim.

Your workplace and school should always be near where you live.

You've been to school, so you should know by now.

Jeju Island is too far.

You won't be able to take the subway there.

I know it wasn't funny. But I can't always be funny, can I?

The flight is the day after tomorrow.

I already paid for the flight...

and arranged the accommodation.

I told you everything now.

Shim.

You can't do this.

How could you do this?

You're just going to leave to Jeju Island in three days?

I'm so ashamed of myself, and I feel so pathetic.

You saw for yourself.

I was a fool who almost got swindled by employment fraud.

I know it's embarrassing,

and I'm ashamed of myself.

I want to accomplish something on my own.

I'm going to go to Jeju Island...

and do my best.

Hey, Shim.

Just give it another thought.

Let's not talk here. Let's go get some fried chicken.

We can talk slowly over some beer.

I'm not hungry.

I'll get going.

Where are you going?

I still have to tell my family that I'm leaving for Jeju Island.

Goodness. What am I supposed to do?

What should I do? Gosh.

Gosh, what can I do?

What's the matter? It's late.

Can't we talk tomorrow?

I feel like I have to tell you this now.

I understand that you have to...

go to Jeju Island.

But I'm going to be selfish from this moment on...

and talk only for myself.

I don't want you to leave.

What?

Since we live in the same building,

I could see you whenever I opened my door.

I could see you going to work every time I had breakfast.

When water floods all over the house,

that's when I get lucky.

Because I could go over to your house and see you.

I...

I liked that so much.

But...

if you go to Jeju Island,

That means...

I can't see you from now on.

So please don't go to Jeju Island.

Dan Tae.

If you leave,

I don't know how I'll cope.

Don't think too hard.

And tomorrow,

tell me that you won't leave.

Okay?

It's finished.

Thank you.

Dad?

Soo Yong, we decided to pull out the tree in Yangpyeong tomorrow.

Take care of everything before that.

Okay, Ji Won. I'll take care of it.

Dan Tae, how is everything?

I've been away for too long, haven't I?

No, it's fine.

Has anyone contacted you?

No, no one did.

Dan Tae.

The tree in Yangpyeong...

is arranged to be moved to a nearby arboretum...

at 3pm tomorrow.

That's good. So it'll be done tomorrow afternoon?

Yes. You don't have to worry about it.

They'll take care of everything.

Okay, I got it.

Dad was the one who took away Joon Pyo.

Then where is Joon Pyo right now?

Dad is afraid of uprooting the tree.

What's buried underneath that tree?
