(Episode 114)
Mr Kim.
Is Mr Kim here?
Mr Oh.
What brings you here?
I came to see Mr Kim.
I heard his mother was sick.
You're very caring about Mr Kim.
I think you and I are the same here.
Well, I'm very close with him.
I thought you two didn't like each other.
He disappeared after turning his resignation in.
I have a few questions, too.
I thought I'd make a visit.
As you know, I can't hold back my curiosity.
I know that very well.
It hasn't been long since we became a family with Ms Joo.
When she was in charge of A Woman's Story project,
we weren't a family.
Why are you telling me this?
You looked...
really interested in our family.
Did you meet Mr Kim?
No. His mother is getting an examination.
I should leave, then.
Tell him that I'll come back later.
What happened? Did you talk to Dung Kim?
No.
I ran into Mr Oh there.
What?
What on earth does Mr Oh have on his mind?
He's trying to check on Mr Kim.
What will you do now?
I wonder how Mr Oh got Mr Kim to take his side.
His mother is going through chemotherapy.
What?
I had no idea.
It didn't look like he could move her to another hospital soon.
I should stop by his hospital, too.
Dung Kim must be extremely depressed.
He was abandoned by his family, he just quit his work...
and now his mother is fighting against cancer.
My goodness.
I guess so.
If Dung Kim does not witness for you two,
both of you may be punished, too.
This is what's bad.
We'll make sure we get prepared with all the documents we need.
What brings you here?
I was worried about your mum...
and I wondered how you were doing, too.
I'm doing well thanks to you.
Kim Jae Min stopped by.
How did he know that I was here?
I don't know.
He probably wanted you to witness in front of Disciplinary Committee.
Why would I help him?
(Trumpet Yoo)
Cheer up, friend. And don't trust Mr Oh.
I have to tell you something. Call me whenever you can.
- Who is it? - Trumpet Yoo.
He's the only person who is concerned about me.
He's not the only one. I'm here, too.
You should've stayed at work. Why did you quit without telling me?
I was just fed up.
You're behind me, anyway.
Yes. Don't worry and take a rest.
Thank you, Mr Oh.
Doesn't that feel great?
How about this?
This is good too, right?
Who are you?
Heung Bok, you're here.
Oh, my.
How did you...
That's none of your business.
Your mother is so nice.
She's beautiful, too.
He doesn't take after his mum.
Right?
Go.
You can go and do your thing. We'll stay here.
Why would you?
She must've been so bored lying there by herself.
We'll be her friends.
You can go back to work.
Don't worry about us.
My goodness.
My gosh.
All right.
Here.
What are you doing? Why aren't you at the conference room?
Why would I be there?
You were going to do a presentation about the on-site day care centre.
I went and gathered some people.
Really?
Everyone felt sorry after reading Jeong A's mum's message.
I gathered everyone against this. Make sure you persuade them.
Mr Choi, this is huge.
I got so angry at everyone just picking on him.
My goodness.
Let's go.
Did Mr Kim text you back?
Nothing at all.
- Mi So. - Yes?
I'm about to do the presentation for the on-site day care centre.
- Help me. - How?
Mr Choi gathered some people.
- Really? - Yes. Bring your laptop.
Okay. Mr Choi was never like this.
Of course he should be thankful for what Jae Min has done.
We should go, too.
Let's get signatures from people who are for the project.
Okay. Let's go.
(A presentation on the on-site day care centre)
(Come to work with your child.)
(An on-site day care centre at Jinhan Electronics)
This is an on-site day care centre of Jinhan Electronics,
which was established eight years ago.
After the establishment, people began to return to work quickly...
after their maternity or their childcare leave.
Above all, it prevents female employees' career discontinuation.
I can see that it benefits female employees.
Then what about male employees?
If your colleagues come back earlier from their leaves,
it'll make everything easier for you, too.
That makes sense.
(GH Telecommunications)
GH Telecommunications started a day care centre last year.
It's open from 7:30am to 9:30pm.
They introduced flexible working hours as well.
The employees can choose which hours they'd like to work.
So it raised their efficiency...
as well as their sales.
(The Effect of Flexible Hours)
With an on-site day care centre and flexible working hours,
it'll give us...
more time in the evening to spend with our families.
That sounds great.
This on-site day care centre is very famous.
It belongs to one of the best game companies in the country.
The employees are very proud...
that their company invested so much in the day care centre.
Many articles have been published about their day care centre.
Their day care centre is improving the company's image.
That place is so famous. It's in my neighbourhood.
My wife nags me to transfer to that company just for the day care.
My goodness.
It's unbelievable.
I guess we'll hear about your transfer soon.
Why couldn't we do it?
Even if your kids are already grown up...
or even if you're single,
please don't turn your back on this matter.
Please think about what a big change...
an on-site day care centre might bring.
With Mr Oh watching us, how could we sign the petition?
Sit down.
I heard you're holding a presentation.
Let's have a discussion.
I'm here to hear your opinions.
I've been explaining...
about the benefits of an on-site day care centre.
Go on.
Go Jin Ho, that jerk.
He's been supporting flexible hours.
Is he teaming up with Jae Min now?
I'm a bit disappointed that not everyone signed it.
This is better than nothing. We just started.
It's Mr Oh.
Why is he calling me so often these days?
He saw what we were doing.
I'm sure he'll press you about a premium exhibition hall.
You're right.
What should I do?
I'll be working against you.
You still have to follow Mr Oh's orders.
She's right. We'll try to persuade our colleagues in the meantime.
All right.
We have a meeting regarding the shared babysitting centre today.
Which of us should go?
Hold on.
It's Bang Geul.
Hi, Bang Geul.
You're not going to the shared babysitting place today, are you?
No, I'm not.
Then can you help me?
Do you need help with your homework?
That's not it.
I have a favour to ask.
What is it?
Eun Sol, you don't have any private classes today, do you?
- No, I don't. - Then...
do you want to play at my place today?
That sounds good.
Min Ho, do you want to play at my place today?
Sure.
You'll feel better after playing with me.
- Trust me. - Okay.
Come in.
- Welcome. - Hi.
- Hello. - Hi.
Hi, guys.
Hello.
Did you invite Eun Sol, too?
Yes.
I didn't know Min Ho was here.
I wanted to play with you both.
We have to stop by at the supermarket. Have fun.
Have fun, guys.
Go ahead.
Let's go.
Let's sit down on the sofa.
You have many things to talk, don't you?
Please talk it out.
Go ahead.
Bang Geul.
We already made up.
When?
During the lunch break.
Eun Sol.
I didn't give that ring to Yu Ra.
She just tried it on.
- Is that true? - Yes.
I'm so sorry. I've been cold to you.
I thought you hated me.
That's not true. I like you. What about you?
I like you, too.
- Yes! - Other kids will hear us.
Yes!
Why didn't you tell me?
I had no idea.
It slipped our minds. Right, Eun Sol?
Yes.
Anyway, I'm so happy for you two.
Stay good friends, okay?
- Okay. - Okay.
- Hello. - Hi. What's going on?
Bang Geul will talk to them.
Bang Geul is so cute.
I want to know what they're doing.
We should have put up a camera or something.
- I know. - Totally.
Why don't we eat with the kids here later?
Are we going to be...
in-laws in the future?
Be nice to your son-in-law.
Be nice to your daughter-in-law, too.
Take it easy, you two!
I made an on-line community for our babysitting centre.
- An on-line community? - Yes.
I thought we needed...
a channel for promotions and discussions.
- I see. - Would you like to take a look?
(Exciting Playground)
Exciting Playground?
I love the name.
I named it in hope that kids will be excited about our centre.
I can feel everything about our playground with this name.
At these centres, they call the kids by their nicknames.
They do so many creative things.
As it's made by the parents, I guess that's natural.
I hope Sang Gu's mum and Yu Ra's mum will change their minds.
We're not starting a centre to make the kids study.
We just want them to become nice people.
You're right.
Why don't we write something on this community?
If we write about what kind of place we want,
it'll give other mums a chance to think about it.
Sometimes, writings are more effective than speeches.
- That's a great idea. - Right?
By the way, I wonder how the meeting is going on.
Now, let's talk about financing.
Please start.
I'll pay for the facilities...
as I promised before the election.
That's not okay.
If we don't share the expenses, we'll feel in debt.
That's right.
Can't we cover the expenses with our investment money?
We can.
Every family can invest 3,000 to 8,000 dollars.
We should take rents in this neighbourhood into consideration.
We can't afford 8,000 dollars.
We should invest at least that much...
to find nice facilities.
It's too much for us.
Each of you can decide how much you'll invest.
That's not okay.
Those who invest less will feel in debt.
How were they going to start the centre with so little money?
- I know. - That's a big amount of money.
That's why we should decide ourselves.
Your investment money will be returned to you...
when your kids leave the babysitting centre...
and you leave the union.
Even if you invest less than others, it's no problem.
I can't afford investing 8,000 dollars, either.
If we invest different amounts of money,
I don't think all kids should receive the same education.
Then leave.
Why would I? I'm a member.
Then I'll leave because I can't afford it.
Good luck to you all.
- Hey. - Seung Ju's mum.
- Please, calm down. - But I'm right.
They are taking the credit for what we have done.
Are you talking about us?
My goodness.
- Hey. - Seung Ju's mum.
Seung Ju's mum.
This isn't good.
My goodness.
We can't even agree on our fund problem.
Getting everyone to agree on something will be the hardest.
We can't take sides easily because I know why they are saying that.
That's true.
People who invest more money may feel like they are losing.
- Isn't that right? - You're right.
And people who invest less money will be...
worried about any disadvantages their kids may experience.
- Isn't that right? - You're right.
You two look rather friendly.
We have gotten...
very close when you were not around. Right, Il Mok?
We're not that close.
Okay. Let's go somewhere and come up with a plan.
Let's go.
What can we do about the fund?
Why don't we apply to become a town enterprise?
He's right. I forgot about that.
If we get selected as a town enterprise,
we won't have to raise as much fund as now.
What do we need to apply for that?
Articles of association, list of the members,
and promotional materials.
Mr Park, you're amazing.
Did you already do your research?
Like I said, when I do something, I make sure I do it right.
Let's bring this up on our next meeting.
Let's do that.
Jae Min, when are you free? Let's set the date.
Why are you so friendly all of a sudden?
What's so bad about that?
Couldn't we be on a first-name basis?
Jae Min isn't an easy guy.
It took him months to call me by my name.
I am a very polite man.
We'll be on a first-name basis after time passes.
My gosh.
Let's make a toast.
Cheers.
- Cheers! - Cheers.
We're now really on a first-name basis, Hyuk Gi!
Hyuk Gi!
I said, all right.
Let's do that. First names.
Don't change your mind tomorrow.
I won't.
First name, okay?
This is awesome, Il Mok.
Hyuk Gi is my bro.
I'm feeling awesome.
I'm feeling great but I'm really tired, too.
- Hyuk Gi, I'm so tired. - Yes?
I had to stay up all night for the last few days.
My goodness.
Jae Min, are you asleep?
I'm sleeping, too.
Oh, my.
Hey.
Hey, let's go.
- Let's go home, Jae Min. - We are not leaving!
We are not leaving! Hyuk Gi.
I have to talk to Hyuk Gi.
- Yes. - Hey, Hyuk Gi.
Why don't you take a glass?
Okay.
Why did you drink so much?
We were talking about the fund.
So, what happened?
Nothing. When it comes to money, it's hard to satisfy everyone.
We decided to apply to become a town enterprise of Seoul.
- Is there such a thing? - I guess so.
We just need all the documents and we have to show them...
our determination about this centre to get selected.
This is great.
We won't have to worry about the fund as well.
You're right.
- Mr Park was something. - Why?
He studied about this through the night.
I don't remember anything because I drank so much.
My head hurts.
Min Ho, don't fall as you walk up.
Jae Min, I can drop them off. You didn't have to come along.
I have to go visit a branch right away.
I could have done this by myself.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Hello. - Hello.
Are you feeling better?
Did you drink a lot yesterday?
He's asking you.
I'm fine.
You're rather friendly again, Mr Park.
Well,
we decided to be on a first-name basis yesterday.
Did I say that?
No way.
I am a very polite man.
Goodbye, then.
- Okay. - Bye.
Hey.
You saw him yesterday, right?
He said, "Hey, Hyuk Gi!"
Yes. I don't think he remembers anything.
What do we do now?
Are we on a last-name basis again? This is awkward.
What did she say? Wasn't I right?
Who did you say she was?
Why are they here again?
Excuse me for a second.
Hey.
My gosh.
You can stop by just at nights.
Why?
Your mother doesn't know that you got fired.
I'll take care of myself.
Be quiet.
We'll stay here during the day.
You should stop by just at nights, okay?
You should work out, too.
I don't have enough strength to work out.
My gosh.
Everyone, have you seen Mi So's premium exhibition hall project?
If you have anything to add, tell me right now.
Mr Oh has been chasing me about this.
I hope something happens...
and this project gets cancelled on the way.
Hold on.
It's Dung Kim.
Hey, friend. Have you been eating all right?
Of course. I'll be there whenever you need me.
Where do you want to meet?
Yes. I know that place.
Okay, then. I'll see you tonight.
See you.
Why did he suddenly call?
I left him a text message.
I told him not to trust Mr Oh and that I need to talk to him.
I see.
That's good news. Make sure you persuade him...
and make him join the disciplinary committee for them.
Yes. I will do that.
What's up, Mi So?
Dung Kim just called Mr Yoo.
- They're meeting tonight. - Really?
I was going to stop by at the hospital tonight.
He said he'll persuade him.
You should be there, Mr Kim.
He'll run away if he's there. He's done so many bad things.
You're adorable.
How can you be so adorable?
- Mr Cha. - You're here.
- Yes. - Thanks.
I'm so sorry. Something just came up.
It's all right. You should go.
- Yes. Thank you. - Goodbye.
Hey, guys. You can stay with me.
You're here.
You're looking good.
You look even better.
It's because I quit work.
I already ordered for you.
Here. Eat some.
Anyway, why did you want to see me?
Just because. I was bored.
I heard your mum is very ill.
Who said that? Jae Min?
No.
I'll make a visit soon.
I want to say hello to your mum.
No, thanks. The hospital room is already packed.
- Why? - Do you remember Jae Min's mum?
The woman who made a fuss at our office.
She's been taking care of my mum.
Really?
What are you doing here?
Wait.
Is my mother there?
- Trumpet Yoo, I knew it. - Calm down.
- Hey. - Calm down.
You should at least finish eating.
You can finish this.
Excuse me.
- There will be more food here. - Forget it.
- Gosh. - Wait.
I'm giving you pork bulgogi for free.
Come on in.
What are you doing?
This is not even on the menu. It has my special sauce in it.
Don't try to fool around with me.
Enjoy your food...
and listen to Jae Min's suggestion.
Suggestion?
You'll...
have to say yes to my suggestion.
