(Episode 10)
The person you've called is unavailable...
Hello?
Where are you?
Are you still with the CEO?
No.
I'll be home soon.
Let's go.
Hang on.
It's late. We should go to your house.
It's just up the hill.
Okay then.
I'm sorry about my brother.
It's okay.
I should've known better.
Don't be too hard on him.
I'm so sorry!
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Soo Kyung.
Mum, can you take this home?
I have to be somewhere.
Sir, you dropped this.
I'm so sorry.
Soo Kyung, it's been a while.
Ma'am, it's good to see you.
This is my son.
He's studying to become a lawyer.
He's the apple of my eye.
Jae Young, say hello.
This is KP Group CEO's wife...
and her daughter Park Soo Kyung.
- Hello. - What a handsome young man.
I asked him if he could go over...
some contracts for me.
Gosh, he's so shy.
He's been studying so hard...
that he couldn't date girls.
Soo Kyung is just like him.
Mum, I'll see you at home.
I'll get going too.
Okay.
You're mine.
You've always been mine.
Gosh, look at him.
You'll catch a cold.
Let's sleep.
Wake up!
I didn't get to sleep much...
because of Soo Chul!
Soo Chul?
Did you meet him yesterday?
We had quite the family reunion...
at the police station.
Why? What happened?
Ask Soo Chul.
Did something happen to Soo Chul?
He's fine so don't worry.
Why is he staying at a hotel?
I'm trying to soften the blow for him first.
So don't tell your father.
Have a good day today.
I will.
You have a good day too.
Sure.
Tell Soo Chul to come home.
Arrange his plane ticket for him.
Honey.
He did say he was sorry.
That should at least count for something.
You made the right choice.
Thank you.
He's learned his lesson.
I'll be the judge of that.
Having our own logistics centre...
has helped with the distribution in the capital area.
Customers seem satisfied.
Our employees perform...
at a much higher ability than those of our competitors.
Money well spent then.
Oh.
Are they our new recruits?
This is the CEO.
I'm Kim Chul Kyu.
He's this year's top recruit.
I see.
- Welcome. - I'll do my best, Sir.
I'm Park Soo Kyung.
Hello, I'm Kim Hyun Tae.
Are you enjoying your work on the Logistics Team?
It's been a blast so far.
Really? So you wouldn't mind permanently joining...
the Logistics Team?
Not at all.
I like his attitude.
- Then carry on. - Thank you.
Is Kim Hyun Tae...
really a fill-in for someone else?
Yes.
But we shouldn't mention that anymore.
The rumours have already reached the new recruits.
Are you sticking up for him?
No.
People think that he got a job through personal connections.
I'm just sorry for causing him trouble.
- Are you friends with him? - Soo Chul...
made me lose face...
before I even got the chance.
Soo Chul?
He's been staying at a hotel behind Dad's back.
Drunk with his friends,
he got into a fight with Hyun Tae and ended up at the police station.
- When? - Last night.
Why didn't you call me?
It wasn't good news to tell.
Thankfully, it ended well.
How did the two get into a fight in the first place?
- Well... - I told you to stay put...
and out of trouble.
Were you really at the police station?
You dad will be so mad if he finds out!
Soo Kyung's mean.
How could she do that to her little brother?
You probably left her no choice.
I'm sure of it.
Whatever. So did you talk to Dad?
He told me to get you a plane ticket.
Really?
He told you that?
Yes.
So lie low for another two days and then come home.
Mum, thank you so much.
What would I do without you?
I love you, Mum.
Do people recognise you?
Yes, from time to time.
I'll tell everyone I meet...
about your new radio gig.
Thanks.
Are you waiting for a call?
No, I'm not.
Excuse me.
The man who just left.
Do you know his number?
I'm sorry. I don't.
Does he come here often?
He comes once in a while.
May I ask you a favour?
I really need to speak with him.
Please give me a call when you see him again.
Sure thing.
Your mobile is ringing.
Mum, pick up!
Oh, right.
Hello?
No, nothing much.
What's up?
Okay.
Who was it?
It was Ok Soon.
I see. How's she doing?
Her son's a mess so...
she's been having trouble with her daughter-in-law.
She still works as a cleaning lady.
Wow, that's admirable.
That's how hard life is.
You have nothing to worry about.
I'll make sure you don't have to work as a maid.
Thanks, I guess.
Don't forget to pick up Hoon, okay?
Okay. I've got it covered.
I told you I didn't want to.
Why did you have to drag me here?
It'd be no fun on my own.
Sun Young told me to stop by.
She offered me a free massage,
so let's cash in on it.
I'm sure she didn't mean me as well.
You're here.
Hi.
I brought Jin Sook with me.
- It's good to see you. - Everything looks so grand...
and posh.
Are the charges expensive?
That depends on the customer.
You might find it pricier than others.
I know. This is way out of my league.
Can Jin Sook get a free massage too?
Of course. What are friends for?
There's no need.
You'd never let me hear the end of it.
- Jin Sook... - I see you haven't changed.
Neither have you.
What?
Do you still live with your son-in-law?
I do.
Isn't it awkward to live with him...
when your daughter isn't with you any more?
He's more like a son.
And there's nothing awkward...
about living with your son.
You wouldn't believe how much he cherishes her.
Her grandson is adorable too.
It'll only last until he remarries.
No matter how much you cherish him, he's not your blood.
He'll sever ties the moment he remarries.
You haven't changed a bit.
Would it kill you to speak in a friendlier tone?
Well, we're not close friends.
I never thought we were.
Guys!
Why are you two always at each other's throats?
Shouldn't you have grown up by now?
Sun Young.
Is your son married now?
- No, but he will soon. - Don't you find it weird...
that he's still only engaged to that girl?
Well,
it is a bit odd.
They're just busy!
His fiancee was studying abroad...
and my son was in China for business.
He's also busy...
because of his recent promotion!
Being busy isn't really an excuse.
Jin Sook!
Cut it out.
Her son-in-law also works at KP Group.
Is that so?
In which department?
He's a new recruit.
Then they won't cross paths.
My son is a high-up, so he doesn't have time to greet all employees.
Your husband must be lonely living abroad by himself.
What if he cheats on you?
Are you looking out for me?
Gosh.
My husband can't even do that...
so don't you worry.
That's 35, 44...
I don't want to live any more.
A fortune teller said that?
Who is it? I'll take care of that fraud for you.
Please sit.
In some ways, I agreed to it.
Jin Joo.
The guys I've seen so far asked...
only about my savings,
why I quit my job...
and if I had any intentions...
to go back to work.
At first...
I was dumbfounded when the fortune teller...
told me I had no choice but to buy a man.
But now...
Don't you ever believe it.
Women as kind and beautiful as you...
never stay single forever.
I guarantee that.
Forget what the fortune teller said.
Thank you.
You're like a big brother to me.
Really?
Then I'll be your big brother.
I don't have a sister...
and it'd be great to have one...
that's so beautiful.
Thanks to you, Sir,
I now feel much better.
I'm your brother, remember?
Mummy!
Aunt Young Shim!
There's my nephew!
Hi, Hoon.
How was your day?
Did you have fun with your friends?
How about a snack on our way home?
Would you like that?
Is it good?
That's great.
Hoon.
I'll be back in a moment...
- so stay right here, okay? - Okay.
Please don't wander off.
I'll be right back.
It's quite the bargain. Are they too long for me?
Oh my!
This will look good on Hoon.
Wow.
Let's see.
I want you two to do this.
- Sure. - Hyun Tae and Soo Kyung.
Check the numbers...
on this sheet and...
write up a report by the end of the day.
- Yes, Sir. - Sure thing.
It's a lot to cover...
but I'm sure you'll be able to do it.
- Okay. - Yes, Sir.
No slacking off.
- Of course not. - No, Sir.
This is great.
Hoon!
Oh gosh.
Where did he go?
Hoon!
Oh my gosh. Where did he go?
Hoon!
When will we get this done?
We should get it started if we want to finish on time.
Okay.
Hello?
Hyun Tae, I'm so sorry.
Why? What's wrong?
I lost Hoon.
What?
How did that happen?
Okay.
I'll be right there.
All right.
Where are you going?
I won't be long...
so cover for me with the team manager, okay?
Thanks in advance!
Hyun Tae!
Shouldn't he be working?
Maybe he's going home.
Hoon, where are you?
Hyun Tae.
Did you find Hoon?
- Not yet. - Did you call the police?
Yes. They'll call as soon as they find him.
We should split up.
I'll go this way, so you go that way.
Hyun Tae, I'm so sorry.
What if we don't find him?
I was totally out of my mind.
Don't say that. We're going to find him.
Let's split up, okay?
Okay.
Hoon!
Are you looking for a child?
I am!
A five-year-old boy.
Is his name Hoon?
Yes, it is.
Where is he?
At the hospital.
Why?
Did he get hurt?
Hoon.
Daddy.
Are you okay?
Hoon.
I'm so sorry.
I'm really sorry.
He kept following my dog...
so I told him to find his mum.
But when I wasn't looking...
my dog bit him in the leg.
Oh gosh!
He's been vaccinated...
and the wound's been cleaned...
so you don't have to worry.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay.
Does it hurt?
Not any more.
Gosh.
What a brave boy.
Is he really going to be okay?
- Yes, he is. - Hang on.
I should ask the doctor.
Is he really going to be okay?
- Yes, he is. - Great.
Mum.
Why aren't you home yet?
Are you with Hoon?
Yes, we're on our way.
Why isn't he back yet?
How are things going?
Sir!
Where's Hyun Tae?
He went to the restroom.
I see.
Then carry on.
Hello, Sir.
I saw Hyun Tae leave earlier.
Did he go home?
No, he didn't.
Did he leave?
I have to get back to the office.
Right, of course.
Give Hoon to me.
I'll take him home.
Hoon, can you walk?
Okay, let's go.
Be careful. That's it.
- I'll call you. - See you at home.
(Park Soo Kyung)
Hello?
Where are you?
I'm on my way.
Please hurry!
Hyun Tae.
Is this job a joke to you?
- I'm sorry. - You should've...
told me before you left.
Don't you have any common sense?
You won't keep your job this way.
Leaving a good first impression...
is very important for new recruits.
I'm sorry.
Stay and finish the job yourself.
Of course.
I'm starving.
Let's see.
What should I eat today?
Sushi?
Sure. Why not?
This is the best sushi restaurant in Seoul.
I think so too.
Thank you for the introduction.
I'll be sure to come here again.
I hear that your golf wear...
is a huge success.
Right.
And I know that you're interested...
in starting your own line.
Showing an interest doesn't get you very far.
That's true.
You won't make it a success with just having an interest in it.
Still, it's a free market economy...
so catch us up if you can.
- Sure. - Let's drink.
- Soo Chul! - Dad, I'm sorry.
Stop this instant!
Get out of my way!
Soo Chul, stop right there!
Gosh.
I won't let you slide this time!
Oh my gosh.
He must have been so scared.
How are you going to do things if you can't even...
take care of a child?
You wouldn't be alive right now...
if something had happened to him.
Do you get that?
I told you I was sorry.
Can't you let it go?
Oh gosh.
I'm still shaking.
I wonder if things happen...
because he doesn't have a mum.
A lot of mothers lose their kids.
So that justifies your actions today?
I didn't mean it like that.
We found him...
and he wasn't hurt that bad so we should be grateful.
It's all because Young Chae was looking out for him.
You have an opinion about everything, don't you?
I'm starving.
Mum, when will we be eating dinner?
I don't have the strength to prepare dinner.
Besides, you're over 30. You should prepare your own meals.
Okay, fine.
Then let's order something.
What?
Hoon, what do you want to eat?
- Pizza. - Jajangmyeon? Pizza?
Okay, pizza it is!
Let's have pizza for dinner.
(Mother)
Hello?
Are you still at the office?
Yes, I am.
I'm going to be late today.
How's Hoon doing?
I just put him to bed.
It was quite a day, wasn't it?
I called to tell you not to worry.
You should get some rest as well.
Okay.
Are you still not done?
What's wrong?
Are you mad at me?
I'm not mad, just disappointed.
What?
You might think that I'm petty...
but I covered for you the other day...
when you skipped out on me.
You could've turned a blind eye for me.
How could you rat out your colleague?
What did you just say?
Just forget about it.
I'm sorry for putting you in that position.
Gosh.
Gosh, there are so many things to do.
I can't believe him.
He didn't even realise I came to help him.
I hope he pulls an all-nighter.
Soo Kyung!
Hello.
Are you busy now?
- No. - Can you do me a favour?
My mum's here to visit me...
but she doesn't know how to get to my house.
This is a snack...
I bought for Hyun Tae.
Can you take it to him?
Sure.
Thanks.
Hello? Yes, I'm almost there!
Is Hyun Tae...
working by himself?
He's got a long night ahead of him.
Physical labour is perfect...
for a guy who hasn't got the brains.
Does he know that...
you rat him out?
Who cares if he does?
What's he going to do?
He's nothing but incompetent.
What a joke.
Gosh.
Unbelievable.
Where is he?
Ik Jun asked me to bring this to you.
Soo Kyung.
I'm sorry about earlier.
It was a misunderstanding.
I'm not a selfish or a disloyal person.
I'm not usually that petty either.
Are you sure?
I just had a lot of faith in my colleague.
Colleagues stab each other in the back all the time.
It's all a big competition.
Is that what you think?
I really don't want us to be like that.
I want us to have each other's back and play fair.
I sincerely apologise...
for not trusting my colleague.
Do you still have lots to do?
I just need to check the returns.
- Do you want some help? - I'm good...
or not.
I'd appreciate the help.
Gosh.
What are colleagues for?
I'm in the lobby.
Where are you?
You're still working?
You didn't tell me that earlier.
Okay.
Is it good?
Have some.
Didn't you say you were hungry?
Haven't you really had jokbal before?
I never got the chance!
So try some.
I'm fine.
It's your loss.
It's so good.
- Here. Try this. - I'm fine.
Come on, try it.
Hurry.
Open up.
This is absolutely delicious!
Are you sure you haven't had this before?
Is it that good?
I don't know...
if it's because...
I'm really hungry,
but this is amazing.
Don't forget to chew.
Gosh. Drink this.
Here you go.
I'm so sorry.
Wipe yourself with this.
Give it to me.
Oh gosh.
Gosh.
You got some on your hair.
This is hilarious.
Thanks.
I'd love some soju right now.
You're right.
- Me too. - That means...
you now know how to enjoy jokbal.
- Really? - Yes.
Then let me wrap you one.
That sounds great.
Okay.
Let's see what you can do.
Onions...
Open up.
How is it?
Isn't it good?
Gosh, that's good.
This is delicious.
All right.
Hello?
It's the Korean restaurant.
- Yes. - The gentleman you asked about...
is here right now.
Okay, thanks.
He's in there.
