EPISODE 10
Wanna go for a walk, sober up a bit?
Okay, then.
What do you think you two are doing over there?
Hi, Grandpa.
I asked you a question.
What are you two doing together in the middle of the night?
To-- Together?
It was for work. Ms. Shin and I were just--
Stop right here. Ms. Shin…
I wanna hear it from you.
Explain this little rendezvous.
Why is the president of a company
seeing a mere employee in secret
in the middle of the night? Tell me, I'm intrigued.
Oh.
That's, uh… We…
It's suspicious.
Every time that I see you,
you're always acting so shady.
You cover your face up with your hair like the virgin ghost, huh?
Wait, Grandpa. Let me explain.
-I'm so sorry. -You got to be kidding me.
I'm so sorry.
-Watch out. -Oh, my God! It's Ms. Shin.
Hey, snap out of it.
Oh, Chairman Kang.
Good evening, sir!
Oh!
Were you gonna go for a second round of drinks
with Chairman Kang without us?
What does she mean by that?
Oh, because we had a team dinner. We all went out together.
Really? You're saying you all had a team dinner together?
Right. Our researchers had been working so hard
with developing new products and all.
President Kang bought us dinner to encourage us,
however, our youngest employee got careless and left her food in there.
Is that so?
Then you should have told me that from the very beginning.
Yes, I should have.
Why didn't you just tell him, Ms. Shin Geum-- Ms. Shin Ha-ri?
What?
Yeah, that's right.
That rumor going around. Is it true that Chairman's hair is actually a wig?
What a night. I'm so happy.
We'll be going, then. You have a good night, sir.
You all take care.
We'll be on our way! Au revoir.
-Our phone, that's right. -Oh, right.
Our phone!
Well, it's getting late, so perhaps, I should get going.
-That's right. It's late. You should go. -I should go. Goodbye, sir.
Okay, then.
That girl, I tell you.
Grandpa, we should probably go.
Oh, right.
Have a good night.
How much longer are you going to keep it a secret?
Keep what a secret?
I already heard it from Director Go, so don't even think about denying it.
I know that you've been seeing someone.
And the secretary's office, you asked them to send her a pair of heels.
So is it that woman you brought to Sokcho a while ago?
Is that why you stood up Ms. Yu-jeong
and why you didn't want to go out with her?
Who is this woman that you're giving so much effort to hide?
It's not that I'm not trying to hide her.
Are you so worried that I wouldn't approve of her?
Don't you know your granddad at all?
I approved of Ms. Geum-hui because you said that you liked her
and I saw how she made you happy. That's all that mattered.
I'm gonna introduce her to you soon.
So please just trust me. Give me a little more time.
Have a good night.
Yeah, Sung-hoon.
The TFT Report?
Okay, I'll check on it.
-Oh, and the one I mentioned before… -Interesting.
Just what kind of girl is she?
Yeah, it's fine, you guys can hang out without me. I don't even have money.
Say what? Ye-jin's coming?
Okay, cool. I'll call you later.
How sad,
I remember seeing him at Won-sik's wedding just last month and he seemed pretty fine.
Yeah, you know how it is with older folks, the condition can change every day.
On top of that, he was over 90. Approaching a hundred is always tough.
Are you going to Won-sik's grandfather's funeral?
Yeah. We'll be going to Masan.
We'll both be back tomorrow. Hold down the fort for us.
-What about the store? -We'll have to close it for a day.
Make sure to lock things up. If anything happens, just call us.
I'll take care of everything down here. You don't have to worry.
Hey, Mom. Since you're going out, can I get some cash, please?
Ha-ri, we're going now. Bye!
You know Ha-ri's not home, Mom! Come on!
Just leave a bit. I have to use it for something.
Do you really need it for something important?
Yeah!
What are you spending it on? Tell the truth!
Why have you been spending so much money recently? You little punk!
Jeez, why do you always resort to violence?
Better than what you do. Always resorting to asking for money!
Now shut your mouth. Where's your sister? It's still so early.
What are you sitting outside here for? You poor thing.
I just couldn't stay in that house all by myself.
You don't have to worry. I'll take care of it.
I'll take him out with my own hands.
Where is he? Where is that bastard?
Here, here. Right here.
Trust me. Not even joking. It's like this big.
It's massive.
It doesn't matter. It's just a cockroach.
Did you have to call me on my day off for this?
It's a cockroach, not a velociraptor.
You know, if it scared you that much, why didn't you tell your boyfriend…
…"Save me, baby."
I would, only if I had one.
Say what? What are you talking about?
Hm.
What? So President Kang sent Mr. Cha to the blind date instead?
I mean Kang Tae-moo alone is annoying enough,
but Cha Sung-hoon is even worse.
The guy messed up big time, but I still haven't heard from him
and he hasn't even called me.
It's probably just because he feels bad. Maybe just this once you can let it slide.
No, we're over. I'm through with all this crap. All this dating or whatever.
I can't go on and date someone who never learns to say no.
I'll just keep getting frustrated.
Easy, easy.
Hey, speaking of frustrations, are you craving dumplings right now?
What?
Rock, paper, scissors, and three, two, one.
All right, just around the corner there.
I'm so hungry.
What's up?
-Cha Sung-hoon? -Rock, paper, scissors!
-Wh-- What are those two… -They're playing rock, paper, scissors?
Here you go.
Let's call them.
No, it's fine. They're already leaving.
-They're going, they're going. Let's go. -Huh?
-Okay, then. Why are you… -Taxi!
-Come on, quick, quick, quick, quick! -Huh? Huh?
-Get in! Get in! -Wait.
Excuse me, sir. Follow that blue car in front.
-Don't let it get away! -No problem.
Wait, are we following? Come on, why don't we just--
-Come on, just get in! -What?
Here we are, practically on the verge of breaking up,
and he's giggling with Kang Tae-moo and going for a joyride?
They're both dead as far as I'm concerned.
What did President Kang do?
Maybe he got dragged by Mr. Cha 'cause he's all depressed, like me.
You don't remember who caused this whole situation?
Who was it that sent Sung-hoon on a blind date? Did you forget?
Yeah, that's right. Go, go.
TRUE LIGHT CHILDREN'S HOME
Thank you, sir.
Oh, where did they go?
Pretty sure they went through here, right?
Yeah.
-Let's go inside. -Hey, you're going in?
-Come on! -Hey…
I hope you've been well.
Mm, of course.
Oh, how long has it been?
-It's good to see you. -What do you think this place is?
-Are all the kids doing well? -Yeah, they're fine.
Wait, Young-seo?
Uh, what are you doing here?
Uh, hey, Mr. Cha, we were… We wanted to… say…
So, you are…
Uh, this is my girlfriend.
Oh, really? It's so nice to meet you.
I'm glad you came.
This is my mother. Say hello.
-Oh, my God. Hello. -Hello, nice to meet you.
What a pleasure. Hello.
So then, that means you were at the restaurant with Sung-hoon yesterday?
Sung-hoon was nervous. He said he wanted to introduce his girlfriend to me.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know that you were going to be there yesterday.
Have some tea first.
I hope you like it, dear.
Okay, thank you. I will.
That's when Sung-hoon was five.
It was the day he got here.
Oh, I see. Wow.
Ah, that last picture is of Mr. Kang's parents.
You know those two, they're wonderful.
They were long time supporters of this place.
Then, they took him in just when he was starting middle school.
That's also when he came to live at our house.
Ooh.
I can tell now.
I knew it was something more than just a CEO-secretary relationship.
Is that so?
Hello, mister. Long time no see.
-Tae-u, Ye-ri, Eun-gyu. -Hello. Hi.
-You guys all right? -Yes.
You've grown a lot, haven't you? Have you been eating properly?
Yes!
What are all these boxes?
Are they laptops?
Mm-hm. It's a gift for the older kids who are going to high school this year.
That's so awesome!
I'm so jealous.
I'll buy you one too when you go to high school.
Whoa!
-Wanna open it? -That's so cool.
Sung-hoon has been telling me about you quite a lot actually.
Really? He never told me about his childhood or these stories.
Makes sense. He's not so fond of telling people about his feelings.
Honestly, it caught me so off guard
the moment he said he wanted to introduce me to his girlfriend.
My apologies. You must've been really disappointed.
Disappointed?
I heard about it and it sure was Sung-hoon's fault.
And let me guess, by now, he must be hesitant to apologize
and just anxious on his own.
Exactly.
You hit the nail on the head. How'd you do that?
It's like you're some sort of spiritual, psychic reader…
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
That's just how he is.
I admit,
he might act a bit frustrating sometimes…
…but believe me, he's a good boy.
So please, be a little more generous with him.
I know that all too well. He's a very thoughtful and dependable man.
From now on, if Sung-hoon ever breaks your heart again, you just call me.
You and I will talk. Drinks are on me.
Are you serious?
Mm, 'cause I got to tell you, I'm no lightweight.
No joke. I'm gonna hold you onto that.
Thank you, Mother.
By the way, I hope it's not too much to ask,
but may I have one of those pictures of Sung-hoon?
It's just he's so cute.
Looks like he had a pretty smile even back then, huh?
-And he still does, doesn't he? -Yeah.
So cute.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want you to hear my story like this.
Hmm…
Do you happen to have a checking account?
What?
Well, I recently made one for the first time in my life.
Initially, I didn't want to give in to my dad,
but living alone cost a lot more than I thought.
So I made one and I'm in debt
by about 20 million won.
And just so you know, my blood type is B negative,
so it's harder to get a transfusion if I get into an accident.
My parents got divorced back when I was still in high school.
All I know is that my mom moved all the way to Germany.
I don't know what she does, or anything about her life over there.
What else is there about me that I haven't told you yet?
-Look, Young-seo-- -What I'm trying to say here…
is that I also have a lot of things that I haven't told you.
And hopefully, one day,
we'll be able to tell each other about all these boring little things.
Once we spend a lot more time together.
So you don't have to be sorry about that,
but you know what you should be sorry about?
I'm here…
looking like this while meeting your mother.
I mean, you should've begged for forgiveness or something
if you're sorry.
You should've said, "Let's go see my mother together."
I mean, you know I can look way better than this.
But look at this, it's wrong.
You're still more beautiful
than anyone else in the world.
Then maybe you should be holding me closer instead of just holding my hand.
Sung-hoon! Let's play together!
Oh, yes.
Hi.
Your brother's right here. Yeah.
I wonder if Ms. Jin has calmed down a little more now.
Your fault, Mr. Kang-- Oops.
That was your fault, Tae-moo. You know it.
I don't know why you sent Mr. Cha to that blind date in the first place.
Hm? So you don't know who I did that for?
Are you suggesting that you did that because of me?
Remind me, who was it that ran to see me all nervous and panicking,
'cause she was worried about me going on a date?
Panicking?
Ha! You think I was actually worried?
Me? Really?
What happened was, you admitted you like me a lot,
plus you threatened you'd keep confessing how you felt.
So I felt bad seeing you helpless and desperate.
You can't blame me for what I did, so I thought,
"Oh, I should be more compassionate. Okay, fine."
That's what I was thinking
when I was running towards you.
Is that so?
I had no idea.
Well, now you know, so quit bugging me about it.
Either way, thank you for at least giving me a chance.
Hold on. Someone could see us. We can't do this here.
What's the big deal? All I'm doing is hugging my girlfriend.
I can't wait till everyone knows.
I'd tell the whole world about us if I could.
Be honest, you feel bad about lying to your grandfather, right?
That day, I also felt--
You tell me when you feel ready.
We'll then tell him together.
Hey, Ha-ri! Come on, let's all get in on this.
Let's do it!
-Over here. -Come on, pass it, pass it.
-There we go. Okay. -Here, here…
-Go shoot! -Come on.
-That's it… -I got it. I got it.
Block it! Block it!
-Okay. -Watch it!
-Okay, I got this. -Shoot, shoot, shoot!
Go in, go in.
This is fun.
I haven't played with the kids in a while.
It feels great.
You're right about that.
I was holding back a bit 'cause they were kids.
So now, my body's all stiff.
Exactly.
I don't think so.
You guys were both running hard and sprinting as fast as you could.
I noticed the kids barely broke a sweat even after they're running around.
Yeah, Hyeong-jun. What's going on?
Huh? What did you say about Ha-min?
Ha-min, what are you doing?
Yeah, I'm looking at it.
Great. Ha-min's not answering my call. He turned off his phone.
-Okay, I got it. -Hm?
Ha-min, you little…
I'm going to kill that kid.
Sorry, you're all here because of me.
It's fine.
You were cute even back then, weren't you?
Hey, why are you looking at that? Quit staring at it.
Can you give me one of these childhood pictures? I wanna keep it.
Oh, wow. I suddenly feel like I could be his friend.
I just can't get used to this.
Any of you guys feeling hungry? Why don't we all get something to eat?
Good idea. I am getting hungry.
Are you taking any customers for today?
Oh, sorry one moment.
I just got back from a hiking trip. My legs are killing me, plus I'm starving.
But all of the stores are on break, so none of them are taking customers.
Please tell me I could have some of your fried chicken?
Uh… chicken, huh?
Oh, chicken.
Well, this lady seems really hungry, so let's serve her, then head out.
Sounds good. Let's do that.
Uh…
Okay, we don't serve less than half a chicken, so would you like--
Wait, yeah. Unfortunately, half a chicken is way too small.
Hold on a minute.
Everyone come on in. We actually found one that's open.
-Come on, come on. -This is it.
-Good job! -Yes, they're open.
Nice. They even have a hot young guy working at this one.
Okay. We can start ordering, right?
Ten orders of chicken. All of it. One of each type, please.
Oh, my God. Ten?
-We'll handle it. -Some draft beer, please.
Get us some beer over here to start off with.
I wanna sit next to the window.
Draft beer coming up.
Eat up everyone. We all deserve this.
Eight glasses of draft beer, ladies.
My goodness.
Thank you, young sir.
-And here you go. -My favorite.
We've got some more pizza for you to enjoy as well.
-All right. Come on, let's eat. -Enjoy your meal.
Thank you.
Yes.
Looks like someone's born to be a waiter. You sure know what you're doing.
I served part-time while in New York.
Did Kang Tae-moo take you to New York just to make you work for money?
Not at all.
He's the one that did it with me.
Really?
Oh. That's unexpected.
TOSSING
What's that?
Oh, this? It's powdered brown rice.
If you coat the chicken with it, it gives a better crispy texture.
-Oh, really? -Mm-hm.
I wonder what it tastes like with that.
Do you want to know?
DONE
-Ta-da. -Huh?
"Ah."
It's good, right? Good kind of crispiness.
Mm…
Isn't this… This is supposed to go out, isn't it?
I fried a bit more so we can all eat together.
If you use the sauce, it's even better. Wait.
Mm…
This curry sauce goes well with the chicken.
I know.
-My turn. -Mm…
Isn't it done yet? The customers outside are waiting.
-What are you two doing? -Oh! It'll be right out.
Hurry up and stop dillydallying.
All right, come on. Watch your step.
All right, thank you.
-Thank you. -Thank you very much.
You ladies take care. We hope you enjoyed all the food. Bye.
Oh, my God.
Hold on a second.
I want to apologize.
That thing with Sung-hoon going to the blind date, I'm sorry for that.
Nothing like that is gonna happen again.
You don't really seem to mean it. I'm just not buying it.
-Sorry? -If you were being sincere,
I think we can both agree that you could do a lot better than that.
I need a bit more, you catch my drift?
Like a bribe?
Will this be enough?
What are you watching there?
Huh? Nothing, don't worry about it.
Just a little incentive.
I'm so sorry that you guys didn't eat all night, because of me.
Please, help yourselves. I'm sorry it's not a lot.
-Nah, it's okay. Relax. -Good job.
Oh, my goodness.
That's gonna leave a stain on the nice shirt.
Oh. Oh, well. It's all right.
Do you have a shirt he can use?
Shin Ha-ri, you klutz. Oh, my God.
One second, please.
LAUGH HAPPILY BUT BE THOUGHTFUL
Here, you can change into these.
That's okay. I can just let it dry.
No, no. I think it's going to stain if it dries.
Why don't we just give it a quick run in the washing machine?
Take it off. Go on and change.
So you're just going to watch me strip?
Oh. Ooh!
Go on and watch if you want.
Oh, shut up. You know that's not what I meant.
-I don't wanna watch. Go to Ha-min's room. -No, it's okay. Here, I'll show you.
Come on, go to Ha-min's room and change, you idiot.
I told you we should have spent the night there
-and gone back here tomorrow. -That's a terrible idea.
Why would you sleepover at Man-sik's place?
I'm not buying it.
The whole neighborhood knows that he used to chase you around
because he had the hots for you.
Oh, Young-seo, hey.
What's going on? You're back so early.
Um, it's late. Shouldn't you be resting at home? What are you doing here?
Uh…
And who is this? Are you…
Oh, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend.
This is Ha-ri's father.
Oh, is that so?
So were you two
having a drink together tonight or something?
Yeah.
How's it going?
Hey, nice to meet you. I'm Ha-ri's father, Shin Joong-hae.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Cha Sung-hoon.
Oh, shit. Those two are gonna get caught up there.
Are you sure your brother's okay with lending me his shirt?
Of course, it's fine. Trust me, he won't even notice that it's missing.
Why are you laughing like that?
-It's just that… -Mother!
-Why do you have to keep calling me?
Just wait!
-Hey, Ha-ri, your parents are back early! -Oh, shit.
Yeah, Mama's back, honey.
Find some place…
Wait a sec…
-My shoes. -Your what? Where is it?
Oh no, wait. Hold on a second. Slow down.
Why? What is it?
Uh…
Mm…
I have a new boyfriend. Let me introduce you.
-You got a boyfriend? -Yeah.
A real person you're going out with? Well, where is he then, huh?
At the store, inside. He's inside the store.
-Ah, he came to see the store? -We should get down to the store now.
-He's in the store. -Oh, yeah?
Yes, let's go. I wonder if he's still inside…
Here, why don't you have another glass?
I just realized we interrupted your date, didn't we?
Not at all.
Let me pour you a glass, sir.
Sure.
-He's really handsome, Young-seo. -I know.
Mr. Sung-hoon? Is it Mr. Cha Sung-hoon?
Yes, ma'am. Cha Sung-hoon.
I bet you could stare at his face all day.
Exactly. Isn't he so handsome?
So how did you two first meet and whereabouts?
Oh, I bet Ha-ri connected you, didn't she?
No, they're neighbors. They live next to each other, so…
-Yeah. -Anyway, Mom, Dad, you're probably tired.
I bet you can't wait to lie down and take a rest.
No, I'm not tired. Honey, what about you? Are you tired?
-Uh, I'm, uh… No, I'm… -I'm not tired.
-Oh, yeah. -Not even one bit. Look.
-He's tired. -If you're tired,
-you can go ahead and take a rest. -Dad says he's…
I'm saying, he's not tired. He can take it.
You said that you're working as a secretary?
Must be really hard, right? I heard about your company's president.
That guy must be a real ballbuster if he's known for being picky and mean.
Oh, my goodness.
Uh, um…
He's really not that kind of person.
Actually, he's very kind and gentle.
Oh.
-All right, now, you pour me a glass. -Oh, sure.
Hmm.
After this glass, I can call you by your name.
Of course, ma'am.
Oh, this is nice.
My second daughter's here with her boyfriend, and we're all sharing a drink.
Wonderful.
I remember way, way back when Young-seo here
came to our house for the very first time. How long ago was that, huh?
She was so skinny like she hadn't eaten for days.
She looked like a malnourished kid.
Mm. She transferred schools back when she was in high school.
But apparently, she didn't eat a single thing.
Not a single grain of rice and she just slept during lunch.
Crazy. And that is why, Ha-ri brought her home after school so she could eat.
Oh! I remember the meal you cooked for me was so delicious.
After that, I kept coming back and just latched on to you.
We'd have it no other way. Just keep on latching, huh?
Even way after you get married and have a baby, okay?
Here.
-What's this? -Huh?
-It's empty. Which one of you did this? -Oh, God. Too bad no more alcohol.
Let's just wrap this up, shall we?
Yeah, Mother. I'll officially introduce Sung-hoon to you guys next time.
-Yes. Yes. -No, I'm just getting started.
Not just yet. Come on.
You know that traditional Korean liquor that you got when you received that award?
Honey, what happened to that?
Where did I put that?
What do you mean what happened?
I put it in Ha-ri's room right alongside her certificate.
Right. This is the perfect time to drink that.
-In my room? -Yeah.
-Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, no. -Oh…
What does it matter if I placed it down here?
My dad's coming in. Here we go!
-All right, let's see. -Okay.
Whoo! It's a good thing that we saved it for later, right?
Yeah.
Here we go.
Honey…
President Kang.
President Kang!
Ha-ri, over here!
Oh, my God.
Are you all right? You must be so nervous.
I don't think it'll end anytime soon.
She… she fell down there?
-That's so funny. -I understand.
My goodness, Ha-ri.
-Do you think… -Yeah?
Maybe, you could… j-jump from here to…
Ha-ri, Ha-ri, I'll end up dead.
-I guess. -Yeah.
I'm just feeling so nervous.
-I don't know what to… -Not this way.
Hey, Ha-ri, what are you doing in there?
Yeah, in a minute.
So…
-I should go back. -Yeah, get back in there.
Don't worry. I'll come back for you soon.
Okay.
Oh, don't dig around in there.
Huh? Yeah.
-Off right now. Right now! -Now? Right now?
Oh, just dammit. Why is this so high?
Mr. Cha, I need your help reaching this thing for a moment.
Oh, sure, sure. I got it.
-Which one, ma'am? Which one is it? -Yeah.
Is it that one?
-No. -You mean that one?
-Wait, no. -Or you mean the other one?
How about this one?
Which one should I get? This one?
Oh, which one is it?
-Let's get this one. -This one?
This one? That one looks good, too. How about that?
All right, no problem.
Ha-ri, where are you going this late at night?
Oh, don't worry. Ha-ri's just going down to the store to get some beer.
Father, the night is young. Why stop here? Let's have another drink.
That's more I like it.
Oh, God. That scared me.
You had no idea how much I was shaking. Thank God, we got out.
Is there something on your mind?
Huh?
Yeah, I was wondering,
how much longer do we have to keep this a secret?
Seeing how they both reacted to meeting Sung-hoon,
just made me want to introduce myself even more.
Ye-jin, did you get back home?
-Yeah, I'm almost home myself. -Shh!
Huh?
Okay, call me later. Let's watch another movie.
Oh, come on, get--
Why, hello beautiful.
How you doing? Someday, Ha-min.
Wow.
When do I get to buy something like this?
Ah, shit.
Shin Ha-ri!
Hey!
-Wait, who's this? -Um, my name is--
Oh no, Ha-min. I can explain, just a moment.
Yo, isn't that my shirt dude?
For real, you're going out with this bum?
He can't even afford his shirt.
-Actually, I can… -No, that's not it. What happened was…
Hey, who do you think you are, huh?
What do you think you're doing with my sister?
Watch your tone! That's my company's president.
President?
What president?
My apologies.
It's my fault. I should've introduced myself.
My name's Kang Tae-moo and she's right, I'm go food's president.
Also, I'm her boyfriend.
The president of go food's Kang Tae-moo?
I'm so sorry. I was so rude.
No, it's all right. I should be apologizing.
But my sister though? You're actually dating my sister?
I mean, what? Does she have something on you?
Did she find something to blackmail you with?
Ha-min.
If that really was the case, I would even love it.
That would mean we'll always be together.
Wow.
What's that all about?
Gross.
Guess my soon-to-be brother's a real man, isn't he?
B-- Brother?
Yeah.
Go and get yourself some new clothes, brother.
No way! Holy shit. Thank you!
Hey! Don't do that. He gets spoiled easily.
Ha-min.
You can stop by the company anytime. I'll more than pay you back for today.
Are you serious? 'Cause I'll do that right away.
Of course, I'm serious. I'll be going.
-You take care, Ha-ri. -And you get home safe.
Goodbye. I'll see you later. Nice to meet you.
Give me a call anytime!
Good night.
Cool.
You know what?
Wha…
Come here, you little prick.
-What did I do? -Shut it.
How did the two of you end up together? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Forget about that. I'm gonna tell Mom and Dad about what you did--
You don't have to do that.
I'll keep this thing with my brother-in-law a secret, okay?
Okay.
You'd better be serious.
Of course, I am.
By the way, does his family even know that you two are dating?
Why do you care?
What do you mean? I'm just worried. His family's obviously loaded.
They don't usually like regular folk like us.
Even if we sell the whole store, that wouldn't be enough to cover the marriage.
I should debut as a singer to get that money.
Being a singer's tough, you know.
No more nonsense. Just don't worry.
It's late. Let's go home.
Hey, slow down.
Oh, so cute.
I miss her…
Young-seo, please. I miss you.
-What are you watching? -Oh!
When did you get here?
Oh, this is just something Mr. Kang had to bribe me with.
-Delete it! -No, I don't.
Why would I? It's the cutest thing.
-Come on, delete it. Give me. -"Young-seo, please don't go."
Come on, delete it.
Where is it? Give it here.
-"Please, Young-seo…" -No, no. Delete it. Shh.
Give me the phone. I need to just…
Whoa, whoa…
His name's Cha Sung-hoon, 29 years old.
He's currently working as a secretary at go food.
All right, then. You can go.
Sir.
I told her to go out with Kang Tae-moo.
But she goes for his secretary?
BE STRONG, GEUM-HUI
It's done.
My marriage license with Geum-hui was approved today.
Your what?
-Marriage? -So just please, from now on…
Just accept that we're in love.
What about Ye-ri then?
I'm so sorry.
There's only one woman I love.
And that woman is Geum-hui.
You have some nerve after all my Ye-ri has done for you.
You ungrateful bastard! You won't get away with this.
You insane bastard!
The merger is right around the corner.
How dare you jeopardize everything?
Forget about it. It's not happening. The merger is off the table.
No, wait!
Mrs. Oh, wait!
-Oh, Father! -Oh, Uncle!
-Father! Father! -Sir, wake up!
Mr. Kim, call an ambulance immediately.
-Sir! -Father, please!
-Oh, my God. Jesus! -Father!
Unbelievable.
Did he really just suddenly die?
Gwang-bok's father?
That makes no sense.
You're telling me the guy died of shock
just because his son's marrying a regular woman.
That's just how parents are. It's nothing out of the ordinary.
It makes perfect sense if you're rich
and want a daughter-in-law that comes from the same standing in life.
Such is life.
Simply put, it's much simpler to have another rich family as their in-laws.
I hope his family is different.
What?
Nothing, just blabbering.
Hello, good evening!
Min-woo.
Oh, what is it, Min-woo? At this late hour too.
I was able to get some good abalones so I brought them here.
I know you like them, Mr. Shin.
Oh, this stuff isn't cheap either.
Oh, Min-woo. You haven't eaten dinner, have you?
We were about to eat some noodles. Join us if we're not going somewhere.
Oh no, it's all right. I've already eaten.
By the way, is Ha-ri around?
She went out because Yoo-ra wanted to see her.
-Yoo-ra called her? -Yeah.
She was nearby so she asked Ha-ri out for a drink.
Actually, I thought you'd be with them.
So what's up? You never call me like this.
Oh, would you like a drink, too?
Can I get a glass for the lady here, please?
So you wanted to talk?
You said something was urgent?
Shin Ha-ri.
You…
Can you please get out of Min-woo's life?
Are you doing this to get back at me or something?
Excuse me?
As if you forgot what happened seven years ago
when you told me you liked Min-woo.
You said that you would back off if I felt the same way about him.
Yeah, true. I wasn't interested in him at first.
But after you confessed to me that you liked him,
I decided to go out with him because I didn't want to give him to you.
But how petty can you be trying to mess things up between us
after all these years?
Yoo-ra, I think you had a little too much.
-Let's just talk next time. -Why didn't you tell him about what I did?
When I said I wanted to take a break before I studied abroad
but dated Seong-gyu behind his back.
That was the biggest chance you had back then.
It would've been over between us if you told him.
Most likely, you two would've been dating each other by now.
How come you didn't say anything?
'Cause that's just so cruel.
How could I tell him
when I know his entire world would crumble with you just leaving him?
Except now…
now I really regret not saying anything.
I wish I told Min-woo about it way back then.
Min-woo, when did…
Ha-ri.
Ha-ri!
What you said back there…
What did you mean by it?
If you didn't know, what you're doing to me right now is a big mistake.
To me and to Yoo-ra.
Right.
I'm so sorry, Ha-ri.
Don't apologize to me. Go apologize to Yoo-ra.
Now, it's clear to me what you're doing…
I really don't blame her for how she's been acting.
Hey, what is it? Kinda late for a call.
No reason.
I'm standing in front of my house right now.
I don't know. I was just feeling… bored.
Okay, I miss you too.
You got a weird way of telling me you miss me.
Do you want me to come over?
No, don't. I'll be okay.
It's too late anyway.
Maybe…
How about after work tomorrow? Let's go on a proper date.
Let's go somewhere nice. Okay? How about that?
Good morning, guys. You two came to work awfully early.
Yeah, that's right.
These are mint chocolate chip cookies.
I made different versions of them with varying flavors.
Look at the ingredients and tell me which one has something that might stand out.
Mm-hm.
Oh. Hey, Mr. Gye.
Didn't you say you were gonna come up with another formula
for the mint chocolate ice cream bar?
Mr. Gye, hello?
Hello, Ms. Kim. Kindly tell Ms. Yeo
that I'll be turning in the formula sheet for that later this afternoon.
-Me? -Why would you ask Ms. Kim…
-I mean, she's right there-- -Got it, Mr. Gye.
Just please have it submitted. Before noon would be nice.
Understood, Mr. Gye?
Oh, Ms. Kim, hey. Please tell Ms. Yeo
that I'm going to experiment with the formulas right now.
Coffee.
-You've got to be kidding me. -Did you have a fight or something?
We went to this reunion last weekend… together.
He wanted to tell the people there that we're a couple.
I said he can't, now he's mad at me. I don't know what his deal is.
In this instance, I think it's your fault, Ms. Yeo.
I get it. It might seem weird you two are dating
since you're both a little seasoned age-wise,
but so what?
What would you know about that anyway?
Nothing good comes out of telling people you're dating a coworker.
I mean, for example, if either one of us makes a small mistake on the job, right?
Imagine that, people will assume the relationship is affecting our work.
And if we break up, that'll be worse.
"It was his fault." "No, it's her fault." Everyone is going to be all…
I don't even wanna think about it.
I don't know why people are so interested in other people's business.
Hey, you hear about that newbie who's dating Mr. Cho
from the administration team?
-Dating who? -Mr. Cho from the administration team.
Whoa! Oh, my God. Mr. Cho? The one who looks like Jung-kook.
I wonder who snagged him.
I'm going to ask people in the group chat.
I know, right? How strange.
Being interested in other people's personal lives.
The microbial analysis table is ready.
I'm heading down to the lab.
Mm-hm.
Really, it's not a problem at all.
They were only doing their jobs, ma'am. It's nothing to fuss about.
Oh.
What'd you say? Tae-moo visited a couple of days ago?
What?
He went there with who now?
I tried to get here as quickly as I could. Were you waiting for a while?
It's fine. What are we having?
Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Western. Just say the word.
All I have to do is make one call and we can get a table anywhere.
Oh.
Okay. We should start with some greasy Western food,
then finish off with some spicy Korean food.
Sounds like a plan.
You know, now that I have a boyfriend,
there's this one thing I've always wanted to do
on a rainy day like this.
Yeah?
The subway is the perfect place to be when it's raining.
No traffic or anything.
The next station is Dangsan station.
Ha-ri.
Thanks for the seat.
You don't seem familiar with the subway here in Korea.
Yeah, this is my first time.
Your first, really? With me right now?
Well, it's with me.
That's nice.
Korean subways are the best.
You know this lane we're on,
it's the same one I used to take back when I was in college.
My house was in the east, my school was all the way in the west.
There's one time, Young-seo and I were on the train together,
really tired and we fell asleep.
We should have woken up, and gotten off somewhere in the middle
but we fell asleep all the way until we got to the last station.
So that restaurant you wanted to go to…
…are we any close?
Not just yet. We just need to go somewhere first.
Follow me.
It's so pretty.
Do you like flowers?
Is there a woman in the world who doesn't?
I've always had this dream where if I got a boyfriend,
we'd go to a place with a lot of flowers like this.
Dream fulfilled I guess.
Yeah, that's true.
The carnations are so pretty. Look at them. So many colors.
They even have purple carnations.
Those don't look like carnations, those are lisianthus.
Mm, that's right. They're lisian…
Mm.
These ones are pretty too.
And these ones are…
Probably not carnations, I think.
Aren't those called moutan flowers?
Moutan?
Nope, right there. These are peonies.
Moutan is a type of peony.
I mean, the name doesn't actually matter.
It's a flower. Don't be bound by formalities.
What I'm saying is, none of that stuff's important.
You see, beauty is what really matters.
That's true. Whether you're Shin Geum-hui or Shin Ha-ri,
you're still the prettiest woman in the world. That's what really matters.
What is so wrong with you today?
What kind of arrangement would you like?
Uh…
Here you go, madam.
Isn't this a little too much?
Look at those.
-Wow, I'm so jealous right now. -Wow.
Oh no, I almost forgot.
There's this specific dish that you need to eat
during rainy days like this.
All right, let's go.
Thank you very much.
Enjoy your dinner.
Oh, my God. This is just too good.
Is it really that good?
I swear, when the weather is all humid and gloomy like this,
you should have this jeon.
It's oily and so crispy.
The best for a rainy day.
-Mm… -Mm…
It's got a quite unique crunch to it.
How did they achieve this texture? It's so crispy.
Hey.
We're trying to have a date here and any work talk is illegal.
Switch it off. Off, off, off.
Like this, watch closely.
Yum, yum, yum, yum. You need to savor the food.
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
Like that?
Mm, just like that.
He had an employee with him when he came for a visit.
What was it? Shin Ha-ri. I think that was her name.
You know, come to think of it…
they do look a bit similar to each other.
But at the same time,
she also looks very different.
Hello, Secretary Kim.
I need the files of Food Product Dev Team One.
There's this lady named Shin Ha-ri…
This looks good.
Mm…
Sorry, I'll be right back.
Uh…
No rain. Not now, please.
Yep, I'm heading down there now.
Yep.
What's your assessment?
Give me your reading on President Kang so far.
It's like he's going to become more like the past president
who passed away, right?
That's what I'm saying.
It's like I'm looking at a younger version of the past president.
I get amazed when I see him.
Right?
He may be the heir to the group
but still pretty tragic to see your parents die in a car accident as a kid.
Happened during a heavy storm if I recall.
Mm. I heard it messed him up,
so he can't even drive whenever it's raining.
Poor guy.
Elevator door closing.
Wh-- What are you doing?
I wanna sit next to you if that's okay.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, my God. Ms. Yeo and Mr. Gye had a big fight today.
You won't believe the tension.
It got uncomfortable being in the same room as those two.
President Kang, you have to remember,
you can't make it obvious to your employees
when you're in a bad mood, okay?
You have no idea how awkward your employees get.
Anyway, back to those two…
it's not like I could just take someone's side because we're a team, right?
I was sitting with Ms. Kim for a long while thinking about it.
I think it would be better if they just talked about it
while everyone else stays neutral.
Yeah, it's still pouring like crazy out there, Mom.
So that restaurant you wanted to go to, are we any close?
Not just yet, we just need to go somewhere first. Follow me.
Here you go, madam.
Isn't this a little too much?
Look at those.
Wow, I'm so jealous right now.
Hey, let's go. The rain's already gone. Let's walk.
Oh no, I can't believe I almost forgot.
There's this specific dish that you need to eat
during rainy days like this.
-Shall we go? -All right, let's go.
And you have no idea how hard I tried. I really hate situations like that.
It makes me cringe so much.
So, actually, I was thinking that if we weren't gonna have dinner like this,
I should go for a drink. You know I deserve it.
Except I brought my car today, so no go on that idea.
Maybe I'll just ask them to get a drink with me next time.
'Cause when I'm with Young-seo,
I actually--
Hm?
Walking like this feels so nice.
I say we leave the car again for next time.
How long have you known about it?
I guess I'm the one with less courage after all.
I kept wanting to just tell you about it.
Kept thinking that eventually it'll happen.
But I could never bring myself to do it.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…
I tried to pretend like I didn't know.
I'm so sorry if somehow I hurt your feelings in any way.
No, it's not that.
I was just thinking of the least pathetic way
I could use to explain my weaknesses to someone who's so special to me.
You know, Ha-ri…
I really…
Are you almost here?
All right, then. Great.
Just a little bit longer. I told them to bring the car around.
I can just go home by myself today.
Besides, Young-seo said she wants to see me
-so I need to go anyway. -Oh, really?
So we'll use my car then. I can just drive you.
It's okay. I told her that I'll meet her just up there.
Don't worry. I'll call you later.
I'll be fine. Bye.
Good evening, Chairman Kang.
Please have a seat, Ms. Shin Geum-hui…
or is it…
Ms. Shin Ha-ri?
Hm.
That's right. Look familiar? So just who exactly are you?
What are you doing with Tae-moo?
Why are you trying to get so close to my grandson?
What'd you say?
Where is it?
Understood.
I'll call you again later.
Why isn't she picking up?
Listen to me, I want you to stop seeing Tae-moo.
It wouldn't be good for anyone to be in that situation.
Other people will take it the wrong way.
Sir.
Sir, I have something that I wanna say to you.
Hey, Sung-hoon. Hello?
What?
What about Tae-moo?
