(Episode 104)
Mr Kim.
What brings you here?
Mr Oh.
I heard you are building...
the premium exhibition with funds for employee benefits.
- And? - Please...
cancel the project.
Mr Kim.
Why?
Those funds are for the benefit of the employees.
Do you have any plans?
I do.
I want to make an on-site day care centre for the employees.
An on-site day care centre?
I think that'll be the best facility...
we can build with the employee benefits funds.
As the funds were set aside for employee benefits,
it should be used for the employees.
An on-site day care centre?
How many employees would want that?
You don't need to worry about that. Everyone will welcome it.
Gather their opinions.
As long as the majority wants it,
the funds should be used for the employees.
Go in.
Sit down.
Honey. Why did you do that without saying anything to me?
My request is only reasonable.
He shouldn't use the employee benefits funds...
for something else.
I know that.
I understand all that.
But an on-site day care centre?
Mr Choi...
is giving up taking paternity leave.
I don't want people to talk behind my back.
Even existing policies are not being utilised well.
We need some facilities for ourselves at least.
It'll make things easier...
for employees who couldn't request parental leave.
I know that.
But why did you have to...
oppose Mr Oh's project?
You're openly challenging him.
Isn't that a good thing?
I'm doing something meaningful while threatening Mr Oh.
When you feel threatened, you make mistakes.
What if it puts you at a disadvantage?
Don't you remember you got disciplined?
If your plan falls through,
you might get fired.
Why would it fall through?
Employees will welcome an on-site day care centre more...
than a premium exhibition hall.
Also, if we act together,
Mr Oh won't be able to fire me so easily.
In any case, just let it pass this time.
You can suggest...
building a day care centre when your punishment is over.
I'm not doing this just to go against Mr Oh.
We need an on-site day care centre urgently.
You know that more than anyone else.
Anyway, I don't support it.
Don't act recklessly.
When I see what Mr Oh is up to so clearly,
how could I sit back?
Then...
let's have a family meeting tonight to discuss this.
A family meeting?
Do you think it'll work?
I hope it will.
I'm not sure.
You're back.
Hey. An on-site day care centre instead of...
a premium exhibition hall? Do you think it'll work?
Why not?
We need an on-site day care centre, don't we?
I'm all for it. I'll be able to leave my kids there.
The problem is those who have nothing to do with kids.
Exactly. That's what I'm talking about.
There's no one who has nothing to do with kids.
There are.
Young unmarried employees.
I'm all for his plan.
You're a member of shared babysitting. You're an exception.
Will others be able to relate to it, too?
Everyone in our team was opposed to the missing kid campaign.
Young employees might not support it,
but most of the employees are married.
Among them, you should leave out older people.
For example, my children are already all grown.
Do you think they will agree to have a day care centre at work?
Wouldn't they want to benefit from the employee benefits funds?
Do you think people would be that self-centred?
They probably all have had kids.
Things change when it comes to money.
They may agree if you pay them at least a quarter every month.
A day care centre? I doubt anyone would be interested.
I'll give it a shot.
Is this because you have ill feelings against Mr Oh?
What are you talking about?
I'm doing this because this is what our employees need.
Mi So will be so worried.
My goodness.
It's not like he's a hero.
Why would he do that to himself and stand against Mr Oh?
Mr Oh probably thinks he's doing this to get in his way.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
I told him to expose his corruption. I didn't want him to fight Mr Oh.
Why do you think he suddenly did this?
He said he'd wait until Mr Oh makes a move.
Maybe...
Mr Oh did make a move first.
I'm sensing the same.
We're holding a family meeting today.
You have to stop him, okay?
Yes. Don't worry, Mi So.
I can barely eat.
You need to eat, though.
I heard you asked Mr Oh to create a day care centre at work.
Yes.
I heard the premium exhibition is...
using the leftover money from the employee benefits funds.
It's only right for the company to use that for the employees.
It's about time we had a day care centre at our company.
I'll look into the procedure.
You can help me gather employees' opinions.
Mr Oh will consider it if many employees want it.
If it doesn't happen overnight, I'm out.
My goodness.
Nothing happens overnight.
Also, you are the first to benefit if this thing gets systemised.
Before I benefit, I'll probably get bashed.
People will talk about...
how I talked behind your back while you were on a leave,
but now I'm receiving benefits with this day care centre.
Why are you so scared about people talking about you?
I won't stop you from doing this. Don't worry.
My goodness, this is so frustrating.
Jae Min.
Did something happen to Mum?
Why would that guy come and spy on Ms Ok?
No, nothing.
Mi So is holding a family meeting tonight.
We barely have any family members.
What are you saying? We're here.
He's definitely getting in my way.
I doubt he could convince enough people, anyway.
I doubt employees would agree to his idea.
Why is he all acting strange? What's the reason?
I don't know.
The premium exhibition is my new business plan.
I'm going to fire anyone and everyone who gets in my way.
You should be careful, too.
Of course.
It sounds like he could fire me.
- What should we eat today? - Something good.
Like what?
Eun Sol.
Are you still mad at me?
You only like Bang Geul.
No way. I don't only like her.
I like you better.
Do you want this?
Thank you.
I really want to get into an Ivy League school.
That way, my dad will be pleased.
I won't play with other kids. I'll just study.
Dad never listens to me. He only talks.
Dad really scares me.
I want to be close with him just like Bang Geul.
Dad and I danced today.
Dad showed me a big smile.
Also, he told me that he loves me.
It feels like I'm falling asleep on a very cosy bed.
I stayed up all night studying,
but Bang Geul played with Min Ho.
Still, Bang Geul got better grades than I did.
Dad only smiled at Bang Geul.
I don't like her.
I really don't.
She fought with her because of me.
My gosh.
What is it?
Take a look.
This is Eun Sol's diary.
Did you read her diary again?
I didn't mean to.
This isn't for her school. This is her secret diary.
A secret diary?
None of the entries are about me.
They're all about you.
Do you get it now?
You have a huge impact in Eun Sol's life.
I told you to be careful.
A word from you may hurt her feelings.
I did try to be careful,
but things just happened.
Come here. Are you sleepy?
Ga Ram, are you sleepy?
- Il Mok. - Are you just coming home?
- Yes. Ga Ram's asleep. - He must be sleepy.
Mi So wanted to hold a family meeting tonight.
What happened?
Well.
On-site day care centre, did you say?
That sounds like a fabulous idea.
Did you hear that?
I never said it was a bad one.
But he would have to stop Mr Oh's project for this.
Oh, well.
That would make your life at work very difficult.
Did you hear that?
How long do we have to wait until he makes a move?
- It's important to attack first. - That's true.
But a mere manager shouldn't be standing up against the director.
That's true, too.
What are you doing? You should pick a side.
I'm a man of peace.
- Then you should step out. - I will.
What?
Where are you going? You should help me out.
Jae Min, you can take care of this. You can do this.
Don't give me those looks.
You're scaring me.
Do you want this?
Thank you.
Bang Geul, what are you up to?
- Homework for my education centre. - I see. Great.
Min Ho.
- Cha Min Ho. - Yes?
What's with you?
Today, I told Eun Sol...
that I like her.
Really? What did she say?
It seemed like she likes me, too.
That's great news.
Congratulations.
Min Ho, you're very sneaky.
I didn't even make up with her yet.
Did you make up with her by yourself?
You can do that, too.
Uncle, can Min Ho do that by himself?
What?
Well, I...
Dad, is it a bad thing to make up with my friend?
What?
- No, that's... - Uncle.
- Dad. - Yes?
Aren't you thirsty?
I'll go pick up something to drink.
Okay? I'll get you something to drink.
You must be so thirsty.
Why does everyone make me choose?
Which would you choose, your family or work?
Right. Answer right now.
- You're being ridiculous. - What?
Did you hear that? He said I'm being ridiculous.
What's with you?
Imagine Mi So declares war on Mr Oh.
Would you be sitting back?
Don't worry. I can take care of it.
But you're coming at Mr Oh head-on.
Why do you have to pick a head-to-head fight, of all ways?
I'm all for an on-site day care centre.
But this is not the right time.
My problems are complicated enough. Do you have to add to it?
I'm not telling you to give it up altogether.
Why can't you just wait a bit and go along with Mr Oh for now?
Mr Oh is a scary person.
If you get fired or something, what will Mi So do?
Aren't you worried about Bang Geul and Ga Ram?
He only cares about himself.
Hold on.
Can't you take it a bit slow?
Being bombarded by you two...
is too much for me to handle.
How many mouths do you have?
That's irrelevant.
- Look. - My goodness.
I'm so happy I'm not in his position.
I don't know where to go.
Gosh.
Don't try to distract us. Mi So is upset.
My goodness.
- Goodness. - Why are you so surprised?
Ms Ok.
Wait.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
Mr Oh did something, didn't he? Tell us.
What are they talking about?
I'm wondering that, too.
They're...
Otherwise, you wouldn't put yourself in such danger.
That won't happen.
I'm sure. Trust me.
- Wait. - Guys.
What are you talking about?
Mum, you're here.
- Mum, you're here, too. - Tell me right now.
Mr Oh? Isn't he your boss?
- Yes. - What did he do?
You're putting yourself in danger?
What are you up to?
It's nothing.
Mi So and Ye Eun are overreacting.
He's helping employees having trouble taking parental leave.
We were worried he'd lose his boss' favour for it.
- Right, Ye Eun? - Exactly.
She's right.
It's true.
Bang Geul must be angry with me.
Eun Sol, have you apologised to Bang Geul yet?
Why aren't you apologising to her?
Tell me, will you?
Eun Sol.
Honey.
You can go out.
Let me talk to Eun Sol.
- I mean... - Hurry.
Right now.
Well, Eun Sol.
Let me take a guess what's on your mind.
You know you did something wrong,
but you're afraid if Bang Geul won't accept your apology.
Am I right?
How did you know?
I experienced the exact same thing recently.
I did something terrible to someone, and I had to apologise to her.
It scared me.
I was worried she wouldn't accept my apology.
But...
I knew what I did was terrible,
so I plucked up the courage and apologised.
It wasn't that he didn't want to apologise to Da Woon's mum.
He just couldn't.
I know...
why you told Bang Geul she was annoying.
I always compliment only Bang Geul, right?
Bang Geul...
did well on the exam even though she didn't study hard.
I failed the exam even though I studied all night.
Bang Geul didn't understand how I felt.
That's why I got upset.
Come here.
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have done that to you two.
I'll...
treat you and Bang Geul to something nice tomorrow.
Will you apologise to her there?
What if she doesn't take my apology?
Even if she doesn't,
you should still let her know that you feel sorry.
Then she'll stop being angry with you at some point.
Okay.
One more thing.
I don't know about other families,
but Mum and Dad will scold you when you do something bad...
to let you know what is wrong.
Okay.
That's my girl. Stop crying.
Stop crying.
Oh my.
What are you doing here?
Well done.
Considering your personality,
it must have been hard for you to admit your fault.
You talked to Eun Sol in a way she can understand.
I'll try to do that, too.
After reading Eun Sol's diary,
I realised I'd done too many terrible things to Eun Sol.
Wait and see.
You'll become...
a great dad.
Are you forgiving me?
Forgive me.
Can't you tell me now?
It's true. Nothing happened at work.
He's right. Don't worry.
Il Mok, you tell us. Is that right?
Yes, of course.
You know he never lies, Ms Ok.
When are you going to stop calling her Ms Ok?
Right.
You call her Mum when you're with us.
Why can't you say it to her?
You still sometimes call me Mr Cha.
He's right. Why can't you call him Il Mok?
Guys, don't try to distract us.
- Let's just go now. - What?
- Let's go. - All right.
I don't think they'll tell us the truth.
If...
anything bad happens to you,
both of us will die. Remember that.
Okay.
I'm not sure what's going on,
but hold back.
You shouldn't worry your family.
- Let's go. - I'll give you a ride.
We're fine.
- Good night. - Good night.
Il Mok.
You should have let us know they were here.
Ms Lee covered my mouth.
Let's lower our voices. They must be just outside the door.
Did you hear what Mum said?
You shouldn't worry your family.
They're not saying anything.
I'm sure something's going on.
Right?
It doesn't feel right.
Do you think so, too?
Do you think I should give up the on-site day care centre plan?
I'm not saying you should give it up.
It's just not the right time.
I know my family is worried about me.
I considered giving it up when our mothers were worried.
I'm not a superhero.
I worry about myself and my family.
But...
I can't let Mr Oh have it his way.
I can see through his plans,
and we need an on-site day care centre.
Even if I turn away from it now,
I'll definitely regret that decision.
Why are you standing around?
- Let's go in. - Okay.
I'm definitely for it.
It would be so wonderful if we can make a babysitting centre.
Yes. We can really promote this if we are taking any kids...
that are under 10 years old.
Shall we begin our first meeting...
for the shared babysitting centre with these five families?
How long will it take for the centre to open?
It'll take at least 7 to 8 months.
We have to really promote this...
and gather at least 30 families to join us.
We will need to find the perfect place.
I have that under control.
Before we find a place,
the city government will come and talk to us about the system.
- I see. - Do they do that?
- Why didn't we know that? - Exactly.
We found that out while searching for some data.
Most parents do not know that.
We have to find a place that abides Infant Protection Law.
Some people choose places in the nature, but soon give up...
because a green belt gets set up and they're banned from renovating.
- I see. - I see.
Once we have 10 families, we'll create a committee.
Please do spread the word.
- Yes. - Yes.
Let's make flyers and spread the word through social media.
This is exciting.
It would be so wonderful for us to take care of our kids.
Exactly.
- Thank you so much. - You're all so awesome.
Let's eat up.
Where's Dad?
He went to a meeting.
Take a seat. I'll give you some snacks.
Here.
Try these.
Bang Geul.
Don't you feel weird because you haven't made up with Eun Sol?
Min Ho already made up with her.
Really?
What's with Eun Sol?
She made up with Min Ho,
but she won't do that with me.
- I know. - I hate Eun Sol.
I won't make up with her.
Come on, don't say that.
There must be a reason why Eun Sol got mad.
I'll ask her mum later.
Bang Geul, I'm home.
We still have to talk.
What will you do?
Will you give up?
You're so stubborn.
Everyone in the family wants you to stop. Can't you?
This has to be done by someone.
Exactly.
Why do you have to be that someone?
Yes, I know you're right. I know that very well.
- But what? - But I would...
have to stand up against Mr Oh at one point, anyway.
If I have to stand up to him,
I'd rather do it when I have something worth fighting for.
That way, we'll at least have the day care centre.
What if you lose?
Not only would we have no day care centre,
you'll get fired and Mr Oh will be more successful than ever.
That won't happen.
I won't be so worried if everything in life goes your way.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
Hello, Ma'am.
Who are you?
I'm Ms Joo's boss.
What brings you here?
I have to tell you something.
