(Episode 9)
Name.
An Mijeong.
Were you in on this with her?
No.
When she came to steal your car,
was he with her?
- He wasn't, was he? / - No.
I don't think so.
They don't just think it.
I most definitely am not.
He's here because he helped with the accident.
He has nothing to do with the car theft.
So she does know she committed car theft.
I never would've if you gave child support money.
Fine! Great job!
You stole my car and got in an accident.
Good going!
We were going to give you the money.
We're not such cold people.
If you'd just apologized and begged...
Why? You're obligated to give me that money!
You...
What am I saying...
Yun Incheol, answer me this.
Is that money for my sake? No!
It's for our children's sake!
And they're not just my kids!
They're your kids, too!
I'm getting money to raise our children!
Why the heck should I beg for that money?
Well? Say something!
That's no reason to steal a car.
Why resort to stealing?
Yeah!
Ms. An. Don't.
You two
weren't exactly in the right, either.
Don't do this.
Open up and talk it out, please.
All 4 of you! Quiet!
How could you be fighting in a police station?
Wow. The princess of Sinchon.
What happened to her?
Her family went bankrupt. Didn't you hear?
Her dad's company went under.
First, her father passed,
then her mother.
And her brother's still on the run I bet.
Hotae!
What's up?
You called so out of the blue.
Is something the matter?
Where are you coming from?
I was out, meeting up with a friend.
Where did you two meet up?
Near my house.
I said I was going to your parents' place, but
you said you weren't near there.
Did I?
You said you were in Shinsa-dong,
so I thought it was too far.
I thought it'd be best to meet halfway.
What do you want to drink?
Nothing, just water.
I'm okay with this.
I have to go soon.
Where are you going?
Home.
My parents are waiting for me.
Why'd you want to see me?
Is everything alright?
I just wanted to see you.
You should've called ahead.
Come on. I'll take you home.
I can go on my own.
I can't go back home right now.
I have something to do.
I came in the middle of hanging out with my friend.
She's waiting for me.
You're not cold?
Oh, I was in such a rush after your call.
Here.
I'm okay. I really am.
Sunyeong.
It was really wonderful to see you again.
I had been
wondering about you ever since,
wondering how things were for a sweet girl like you.
I figured you'd be living a happy life.
That's what I thought.
And I'm happy that you are.
It's a good thing
we didn't run away together that night.
If you stayed with the likes of me,
you'd be far worse off than now.
Since you're meeting a friend today, I'll let you go.
But let's meet up before you leave for the States.
Ms. An.
Please listen to what I have to say.
First, even if they owe you money,
this is still grand theft auto.
You have to settle with him, and
settle with him, too.
You have to get a settlement agreement from him
and a petition from him to set things straight.
You should settle within 2 to 3 days.
In the meantime, you'll be in a holding cell.
A holding cell?
A holding cell? Wait a minute.
That's not even the bad part.
If you don't settle, this will go over to the D.A.
The D.A.?
It's your first offense,
and him owing you money was your reason,
so chances are, you won't go to prison, but
you did get into an accident with the stolen car.
You could end up in jail.
Inmate 4987. You have a visitor.
Mom!
Why'd you bring the kids here?
I don't know anyone who could babysit.
You should've come to see me when they're at school.
We don't have the money for that.
Sending kids to school costs money.
You haven't been sending the kids to school?
We stay at home all day long, mom!
I need money to send them to school!
You should sell the kids' birthday rings.
I already did.
That lasted us a few good months.
There's no one we can borrow money from?
Who'd loan us money
when you're in prison like this?
Grandma...
My team lead, Mr. Lee, is a kind man.
Go see him and ask...
That despicable man?
When your trial was over, he fired you right away.
You get 3 square meals in there, right?
We get by on 2 meals a day.
Mom, we're awfully hungry.
I want to eat pizza so badly!
I'm sorry. This is all my fault...
I'm sorry, grandma.
I never should've stolen Incheol's car.
It's all my fault.
When will you be released?
I miss you!
Can't I live there with you?
I want to be with you, mommy!
Wait!
I'm providing for 4 people.
I'm the family breadwinner.
Without me, my family...
That's why I'm saying you should settle.
The accident happened on her way to return the car.
She still has to stay here overnight?
I will vouch for her...
How would you prove she was returning the car?
She said so at the company garage.
She said she was returning the car.
I did!
You heard me say it, right?
Yes, I definitely did.
How are we to believe you?
I called!
Though he didn't answer.
What? You never called me.
Are you sure you didn't pick up on purpose?
What? What do you take me for?
It must be in your phone call log.
You can discuss that with the D.A. when later on.
You have to spend tonight in the holding cell.
You can make a phone call, if you'd like.
Talk to someone who'll help you settle the cases.
You work overnight too often.
Alright.
Get a little shut-eye, though.
And don't skip your meals.
Of course they're asleep.
Bye.
Perhaps working overnight is better.
It's better than drinking herself to sleep.
Losing herself in work might be better.
Her grandmother's
the only one who can help her settle.
How could she tell her that she's working?
Leave her alone.
Maybe she'll get herself a public defender.
Let's go.
Don't worry about work.
And don't worry about your grandmother or the kids.
Thank you, Mr. Lee.
Don't worry about anything.
It'll all work out.
Let's go.
What the...
I told her to buy the kids some clothes but
they're all hers! Look! Geez!
I made it clear to her
not to come home till she graduated.
Jinju has nowhere to go.
She left her car keys and phone.
She'll probably hide out by the front gates
till Sangtae gets home and sneak in with him.
That girl...
This would look good on me, right?
Why isn't Sangtae here yet?
I don't even have my phone.
You think we should call a tow truck?
It's just a fender bender.
I'm sure the car is fine.
- Honey? / - Yeah?
You must be hungry, huh?
You ran over here after you got the call,
so you didn't have dinner.
It's okay.
Since we're out and all, shall we go out to eat?
- It's been awhile. / - Sure!
Come on.
Jinju.
What are you doing out here?
What took you so long!
Were you waiting for me?
Let's go inside.
I got kicked out.
- They found out about me not graduating. / - Man!
I told you.
You should've been honest with them.
Dad's seriously mad.
He's on the verge of putting on his leather jacket.
You know he means a real beating
when he does that, right?
Want to go stay with Yeontae?
We're in a fight.
Why?
We got into a fight that day you went on your date.
I think she's still upset over it.
I even went to see her at school,
and she gave me the cold shoulder.
I'll call her.
Go stay with Yeontae.
I don't even have cab fare.
Get in. I'll give you a ride.
No.
Talk to mom and dad for me.
Can I just get cab fare?
And call Yeontae, okay?
Really?
Okay.
Don't worry, Sangtae.
Okay.
That was Sangtae?
Mom.
Jinju got kicked out!
In this cold? But why?
She didn't graduate because she failed her classes.
What do you mean?
She has to repeat a year,
and her parents must've found out.
So Sangtae's sending her here.
Oh, no.
Jinju's parents must be very worried about her.
You shouldn't laugh at other's distress.
Whatever. She had it coming.
Oh, geez.
I said don't laugh.
You're laughing, too, right now.
It's hilarious.
You sent her to your parents' place?
Why'd you send her there?
That's embarrassing.
She can stay there for a few days.
Did you know that Jinju didn't graduate?
Yes.
What will we do with her, Sangtae?
Do you know any place that might hire her?
She has to graduate first!
She's the only one in the family with
a 4-year college degree.
Her school sucks. A degree from there won't matter.
I told you we should've gotten her a tutor.
Oh, please!
That wouldn't have done her any good.
If they're male, Jinju's all flirty with them, and
if they're female, you ogle at them!
What...
I never ogled!
And how is it my fault that she's stupid?
That runs in the Jang family!
Don't pin that on me!
Well, she sure didn't get it from me!
Remember?
When we used to do private loans,
everyone in the industry knew
how fast and accurate my calculations were!
I've been too soft on you lately.
You've become unruly.
Should I get out my leather jacket?
Go right ahead!
You don't scare me.
I have one, too!
Wait, mother. Father. Please don't do this.
I'll talk to Jinju about this.
Will you?
Would you do that for us?
Yes.
It's awful we're imposing on your parents like this.
Yeah, and it's not the first time, either.
What's wrong with Jinju
that Yeontae's her only friend?
It's a blessing to have smart kids who get into
college on the first try.
It took her 3 years to get into college.
How could she not graduate after all that?
It's a no-name college, even.
What did Sangtae say?
That when her parents cool down,
he'll come get her.
That must be Jinju.
We shouldn't let her in, but shoo her away!
Our house isn't some motel, you know.
- Don't laugh. / - But it's funny.
Who is it?
It's the middle of the night! Who is it?
It's...
It's me, Jinju, Mr. Lee.
Oh, Jinju!
What are you doing here at this hour?
Come in.
She has no shame.
She stole Yeontae's crush from her.
I should throw this sweet potato at her face and...
Oh, my.
- You're washing up? / - Yes.
Come eat this first.
Come on.
Let's have some sweet potatoes.
You look pretty even dressed like that.
Have some.
Hey.
Hotae.
Jinju's here.
Jinju?
As in our in-law?
Yes, her.
And?
Your mom said to stay put in that storage room
till Jinju leaves
and stay away from the main house.
She said it'd be humiliating if the in-laws knew
you lived in the storage room after going broke.
Alright.
Your mom made some sweet potatoes.
Want me to bring you some?
I'm okay.
Did something happen while you were out?
No, I'm alright, dad.
I wonder what's wrong with Hotae.
He looks upset.
Like us, the Lees have their hands full, too.
Jinju's the only child they have.
I'm sure they're worried.
And I'm worried about Hotae.
He may be smiling on the outside,
but I doubt he is on the inside.
We have money saved up.
Business has been good.
We won't be taking our money to our graves.
Why don't we invest in Hotae's movie and...
Oh, geez. We just started saving.
There's lots we need that money for.
When Sangtae gets married,
we have to get him a house.
And we need money to marry
Hotae and Yeontae off, too.
We still have 3 weddings to go.
Be realistic, will you?
None of them are even dating!
Oh, I forgot about Sunyeong.
She must've come back to work.
We called her as we were closing down
to tell her to go straight home.
We did?
Do you have dementia or something?
You told me to call her. Geez.
I didn't get the chance to tell you today.
I'm leaving for the States soon.
When will you be leaving?
Tomorrow.
Should I see him one last time?
I'm leaving in 2 days.
I don't know when I'll be back.
Let's do lunch tomorrow, one last time.
I have to return your jacket, too.
Okay. I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay.
I understand, Mo Sunyeong.
You probably feel how I feel.
We don't want to show the other
how pitiful our lives are.
I doubt she'll get much sleep in there.
I'm sure there's lots of weird people in there.
They said they'd pay well per hour,
so I just made some calls for them.
And then, the cops suddenly burst in
I was doing a voice phishing scam!
It'll be alright. Your charges will be dropped soon.
But you'll have to find a lawyer soon.
I already got myself one.
Did you get conned?
No.
I was just playing cards and might have
used sleight of hand.
Did you call a lawyer?
I don't need one.
It was just a misunderstanding.
What kind of misunderstanding?
Well, he...
He feels overwhelmed by all my love.
Stalker.
What's she in for?
I hear she's in for larceny.
There's no cure for kleptomania.
That's something she'll do for life.
She'll just keep doing it out of habit.
This isn't her first time for sure.
She waltzed in and laid down.
I'll worry about tomorrow when it comes
she said making her coat into a pillow.
That's unbelievable.
She does sleep just fine anywhere.
She even fell asleep in
during her MRI in just 30 seconds.
Done?
Now, send it to my mom.
Ms. Park.
Jinju won't be returning home for awhile.
She's heartbroken for letting
you and Mr. Jang down,
so she can't bring herself to go home.
As you can see in the picture,
she keeps crying.
To atone for her mistakes,
she will abstain from food and water
until you ask her to come home.
Abstain from food and water
means she won't eat or drink, right?
That's a "hunger strike."
She can't starve or not drink water.
She'll probably drink and eat in moderation.
Should we go get her tomorrow?
We're being such a nuisance to the Lees.
Jinju made me send the previous texts.
I knew it!
Jinju told me to take those pictures. She's fine.
Goodnight!
Even if he does owe you money, you stole his car
so it's considered larceny, ma'am.
You have to settle with him and with him, too.
You have to get a settlement paper from him and
you need a petition from him to set things straight.
She told her grandmother she was working.
She has no one to help with the settlement.
(Crazy Jerk)
Hello, how are you?
Not well.
I'm really sorry about yesterday.
I was having a really tough day.
I'll give you your phone today.
You don't have to.
Pardon?
I already reported you to the cops yesterday.
They didn't call you?
But sir!
Why would you call the cops over this?
You said I should, and that
you'd rather go to jail than have to deal with life.
Listen, smartphone thief.
I did as you asked.
See you at the police station.
She should not have crossed me.
I'll make her suffer.
She must've text back.
The thing is,
I wasn't in the right frame of mind
so I just blurted it out.
She said she wasn't herself yesterday.
I'm sorry I upset you, and
I know I've inconvenienced you
but can't you be understanding just this once?
She asked if you could forgive her.
Forgive her.
No.
I don't know how you'll think of me
after I tell you this,
yesterday, someone stole the man I've had
a 7-year crush on.
I feel so bad for her.
She got rejected by her crush, right?
- Yeah. / - So what?
I'm sure you're thinking, "So what?"
but please try to put yourself in my shoes,
go to the police station, and drop the charges.
Please.
How cute. I bet she's petrified.
What should I text back?
- Good morning! / - Hi.
Let's take it to court. Clean and simple.
Crazy jerk.
I practically begged for forgiveness.
What does he mean by "take it to court"?
He could've just gotten it delivered.
Why does he insist on meeting me?
Yeontae!
- Hello. / - Hi.
- Bye. / - See you.
Yeontae.
Hey, Taemin.
I work with Ms. An.
I'm Lee Sangtae.
I know this isn't any of my business,
but now that I know,
as her team lead, I can't just ignore it.
As you saw last night,
Ms. An's grandmother doesn't know
Ms. An's in a holding cell.
Tell Mijeong to tell her grandmother.
Well, Ms. Jang needs to know what's going on.
But you got your car back.
She's got kids to look after.
It'd be best to settle with her,
for the children's sake...
Do you have kids?
Yes.
Then, you'll understand.
Tell Mijeong
that I'll settle and sign off on that petition
right away if she lets me see the kids.
I'm sure you know
since you were here during that fight.
It's true.
The divorce was my fault.
Still, I'm the children's father.
My only condition for the settlement
is to be able to tell my kids the truth
and be able to see them.
That's going to be hard for the kids to handle.
We don't have to tell them the truth.
We've been divorced already for 3 years.
If she's so worried about them,
why won't she just tell them that
we got divorced because of differences?
To be honest, half of that's true.
Honey, we need to get compensated
for the car accident damages, too.
Yes, tell her about that, too.
Alright. I'll tell her.
If she holds up her end of the deal,
I'll gladly sign the petition and settle.
I'll tell her.
Mijeong's got herself a great boss.
He seems pretty great.
You don't think they're dating, do you?
He said he has kids.
I think he's married.
He doesn't look the type to cheat, though, huh?
What? Then, do I look the type to cheat?
- Hello. / - Hi.
The principal was scary today, wasn't she?
You can say that again.
Which way is the teachers' office?
It's down this hall.
You go ahead.
See you later.
Wait.
Wait! Excuse me! Wait!
What's this about?
I'm the one you're looking for.
You don't need to go to the teachers' office.
Rather than sharing this with the other teachers,
just talk to me.
It really wasn't my fault!
What are you talking about?
We're here to do a lecture on school violence.
What?
Oh, I see.
You're the one we're looking for? What...
Oh, nothing. I was totally mistaken.
This way.
I have an interview.
Make sure the makeup looks barely there.
Nothing dewy.
Taking photos under lights
looking dewy isn't a good look.
I want to look matte.
Same with my hair.
I want it to look like you did nothing to it.
I want it to look like I just got back
from playing on the field. Natural.
Like I'm back from a tournament after
winning a trophy.
A fresh, bouncy feel. You know the look, right?
Got it? Okay?
Okay.
Just a second.
I have a call.
(Psycho)
I'll meet you at Elegia in Cheongdam-dong.
When would be good for you?
She listens now that I mention cops.
Let's begin.
What should we eat for lunch?
Is there anything you want for lunch?
I have lunch plans with my brother today.
Then, let's go to that kimchi stew place.
Ms. An loves their kimchi stew.
Then, let's go there
for kimchi stew after Ms. An
returns from sick leave.
By the way, how is Ms. An?
Not well.
It's the weekend in 2 days.
She can just rest all the way through.
We're going to lunch now.
Okay.
Hey, Hotae.
That's the right restaurant.
Wait for me there.
Here comes Mr. Lee.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
This is Ms. An's grandmother, Ms. Jang.
She said Ms. An didn't come home last night.
The thing is...
I don't mind eating alone, but
you have to come pick up the tab.
I'm broke.
Okay.
You must have lunch plans.
I had lunch plans with my brother, but it's okay.
What is going on here?
She called saying she was working overnight.
Please don't be too alarmed.
Actually...
Ms. An
is at the police station right now.
What?
She doesn't even have family who'll bring her food.
She can order real food and pay upon leaving.
Her crime's too big for hope of release.
Look at her stuff her face.
My Mijeong is in jail right now?
I had no idea...
Those good-for-nothing jerks!
I'll kill them all!
No, don't, Ms. Jang.
Please don't.
I can't let this slide.
If you do something,
I'm sure they'll get even again.
And that'll only make things harder on Ms. An.
And Ms. An doesn't want you finding out, either.
She doesn't want to worry you.
But I can't just sit idly by doing nothing.
I'm all she's got!
It's just her, the kids, and me.
What about the kids?
And I'm getting older by the day.
Who'll help my poor girl...
I'll take care of this, Ms. Jang.
After today, it's the weekend.
I'll do whatever I can to get her out this weekend.
How will you do that?
I think I can get them to settle.
I'll go see Ms. An after work today.
Don't worry.
Just take good care of your well-being.
You and the kids are all she worries about.
Help Ms. An get peace of mind.
Don't let on that you know for now.
She's very particular that
I doubt she was able to sleep or eat there.
Can I get more rice, soup, and pickled radish?
And more laver and kimchi, too.
Wow, she ate the whole serving.
It's a waste of taxes.
She's made for prison life.
Acting school?
You want to make Bin an actress?
No.
She wanted to take classes with a friend
so I'm letting her.
Send her to learn from me.
I'll be her private tutor.
Are you sure you can do that for her?
I was in the actors' club in college, remember?
I was even in short films a few times,
though the parts were small.
I even worked part-time as an acting tutor.
People used to urge me to go into acting,
but I just insisted on becoming a director.
Okay.
It will be Bin and a friend of hers.
How much will it be?
I'll give you a discount,
since she's my niece and all.
A discounted price of $500 for the two.
$490.
Let's do $400.
Okay.
I forgot that you've always been a cheapskate.
$400 it is then.
And about the investment on my film...
I need a little more time.
30 grand is a lot of money for me.
If it's too much,
you can give me just a grand to start.
Can't you just quit this director business?
Sangtae!
You're such a hypocrite.
You're sending Bin to me for acting lessons
yet you want me to quit?
You respect her dreams,
but you want me to toss out mine?
You're not a kid anymore.
You're in your 30s
yet you haven't made a name for yourself.
Think of our parents.
That's really unfair of you to say.
Ever since you got married
and moved out, I took on
the role of the eldest son.
Especially when you moved in with the Jangs.
I'm not the problem-child. You are.
If you're that worried about them,
get remarried.
Anyway.
I have another favor.
Can I get that $400 right now?
You can get the $200 from Bin's friend yourself.
Thanks for the food and drinks.
Think over the movie
investment deal some more.
In a positive light, of course.
Okay.
Are you going back to work?
Yeah, you're taking the bus, right?
Didn't you bring your car?
I'm 5 minutes from work.
Where's your car then?
In the company garage.
You got a new car, I hear?
Can I see?
What's there to see?
What? I can't even ask to see it?
Fine. Come on.
Can I take it out for a spin, too?
Overnight. That's okay, right?
Sangtae! Come on, bro!
Thanks, Sangtae.
Can we get more sides please?
Coming!
Sunyeong went out again?
She went to the bank.
Yesterday was payday.
Hi, my darling brother.
I wired you the money just now.
But I'm having a hard time this month,
so I couldn't send a lot.
Sorry. I'll send more next time.
How are your wife and kids?
They're doing well? That's good to hear.
Long distance calls are costly.
I'll call you on my next payday. Bye.
I'm sorry. I'll do this.
Did you send your pay to your brother again?
You need to look out for yourself. Don't do that!
I'm here in Korea.
And I met great people, like you and Mr. Lee.
Even so,
you need to take care of yourself, not him.
I'll do this.
Sit down for a second.
What happened to you yesterday?
Why did you leave like that
and not return even for close?
I'm sorry, Ms. Oh.
We're not scolding you for that.
We're just worried about you.
That director guy asked to see you, right?
Oh, Sunyeong...
She's crying.
What's the matter?
What is it?
He...
Thinks I'm married and living in the States.
So what happened yesterday?
Didn't he call? Isn't that why you left?
He did.
But I don't know why he asked to see me.
He seemed a bit angry.
Maybe he found out.
I don't think so.
I'm really going to stop seeing him.
I told him that I'm heading for the States tomorrow.
What'd he say?
That he wanted to see me one last time today.
Are you sure you'll be alright?
Of course.
I won't be able to see him again anyway.
I don't know about you youngsters.
If he keeps asking to see you again,
that means he still has feelings for you.
Why else would he want to see you?
Are you sure he's not a bad guy?
Still, be careful.
10 years is a long time. He may have changed.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Sunyeong!
I brought your coat.
Put it in the back.
Careful.
Oh, wow.
You have a really nice car.
You think?
Put on your seatbelt.
Okay.
- Let's go. / - Okay.
This is great!
I feel like we're in college all over again.
I used to wait for you a lot here.
That building in front was
where the dance studios were.
I used to wait for you, thinking about how you looked
in your ballet gear. Time would fly by.
I'm totally different now, huh?
I'm sure of it.
No way.
You're just as pretty.
Didn't you see those college guys
checking you out as we walked here?
Oh, Sangtae.
I wonder if the dance studio's
still in that building.
- Want to go check it out? / - Sure.
How pretty.
You were 120 times prettier then.
Oh, stop.
My ballet days seem like eons ago.
I'm not so flexible anymore.
My body's not what it used to be.
It feels like forever ago.
What? You look exactly the same.
And those days seem like just yesterday to me.
I used to watch you during your practice from here.
This is the place.
Hurry up.
How beautiful.
It's her.
- Which one? / - That one.
The second one?
She's a goddess.
She certainly is.
She adorable.
Here she comes!
What should we eat?
Hello.
I'm Lee Hotae. A film major at this school.
I'm trying to film a movie right now and
I need an actress.
Pardon?
- Con artist. / - Me?
You made me run errands at the club office.
Want to go check that office out, too?
Sunyeong, will you get me a cup of coffee?
I filtered this myself and brought it
in this thermos.
Thanks.
When are we going to film this movie?
Keep memorizing the script I gave you.
I showed the script to a friend of mine,
and she said it was a movie that came out last year.
With Gianna Jun and Cha Taeyeon.
Even the title's the same.
My Sassy Girl.
Let's go eat.
Wait for me.
You were a complete liar.
It was fun watching you fall for it.
When you took me out to eat anywhere,
I'd think, "He must be using this place to shoot."
You didn't know it was a date 100 days into dating.
I was such a sucker.
No, you weren't. You were sweet and innocent.
Just as you are now.
Mom, come over here.
Mijeong took our car to the Hangang.
What's this?
It's the surveillance camera in the car.
We sent the image file to my laptop.
We're watching the file on the laptop.
Why'd she go there late at night?
That's what I'm wondering!
This must be on her way back.
So this is when she got in the accident.
Nope.
She got in the accident in our neighborhood.
It was a mere $3. What a Scrooge.
And he was the one who borrowed the bikes.
- She must be nuts, talking to herself. / - Shh.
Not his type? Then, who would be?
I'm so hot.
I'm so dazzling, I can barely stand to look.
What's she saying?
Who's she talking to?
Did you get some sleep?
Yes, I slept fine.
And I ate just fine, too.
I'm sure it wasn't the most comfortable in there.
I don't know. I was comfortable.
This isn't what I came here to say, but...
And I hate to make a big deal...
But I didn't get a wink of sleep last night.
And I was out all day trying to solve this for you.
I worried about what would happen
to your grandmother and kids if I couldn't get you out.
What I should do about your sick leave.
I promised myself I'd get you out by weekend.
I was overwhelmed with those thoughts.
But you
ate and slept well?
How could you possibly
eat and sleep well in this situation?
I know you say you're a machine, but still.
Did you just smile?
What was that smile for?
I just...
I just fell right asleep.
Right after a particular moment,
I felt complete peace of mind.
Don't worry about work.
Don't worry about your kids or your grandmother.
I just felt at ease
after that moment.
Remember what you said?
Don't worry.
Everything will work out.
You said not to worry
and that everything would work out.
From that moment on
I had complete peace of mind.
So I was able to eat and sleep well.
Mijeong must have a thing for this man.
You just saw it.
She likes him.
If he gives her a chance, she'd totally go for him.
And he's a single dad, too.
So she went to Hangang to see him, huh?
What was he like?
Didn't you say he came by this morning?
The one at the flour fiasco?
He was with her when I slapped Mijeong, too.
I think he likes Mijeong, too.
Why else would he come
before work to help
get Mijeong out of jail? Don't you agree?
Remember what you said?
When Haeseong hurt his leg, you stood by his side.
When, Ms. Cheon's father passed away,
you took her hiking every weekend.
And you're my team lead, too, so
I figured you'd help me, too.
It's irrational. But I blindly believed.
Then, Ms. An?
Will you keep that up
and do as I tell you to do?
Let your kids
see your ex-husband.
Read this.
Lunge tine.
No, it's "lunchtime."
Lunchtime.
What will I do with you?
She'll never get into school like this.
She still has 2 years left.
If you want to go to school,
you have to know how to read this.
Not read it so slowly like now.
You have to read it like me.
You're in charge of teaching her to read and write.
If mom finds out,
you won't get your allowance.
Can't you take over?
I water the plants and
even take out the recyclables.
And I was in charge of reading to you
before you started elementary school.
Mom's so mean.
My friends don't do any chores
but still get their allowance.
Just wait till dad comes back.
I'll tell on mom.
Dad loses against mom.
It was like that even before he left.
Really?
Mom's the strongest person in the family?
I don't know.
I don't remember.
It's been too long since I've seen dad.
Read this.
Those were Mr. Yun's terms for the petition.
He said if you let him see the kids,
he'll sign that petition...
Use my children to strike a deal?
What'd you tell him?
That I'd tell you what he said.
You said not to worry.
You said it'd all work out.
There's no other way.
Let him see the kids.
I can't.
Not yet.
They're...
They're just too young.
My eldest is just 11
and my youngest is 6.
I can't tell them that.
How would I explain this to them?
Hey, kids. Your dad cheated on me
with my friend and left me and you guys.
Is that what he wants me to say?
He thinks he has the right to be
their dad after doing something like that?
You understand him so well,
so why not me?
I think you're amazing.
You started this.
It'd be nice if he said he liked me back.
Text me when you tell him.
Hotae.
No matter how you came back,
I would've liked you.
Quit right away.
Why would you waste 10 years on this?
Don't pick Jinju up.
We can't let her stay there...
Why haven't you given me an answer yet?
I'm still thinking about it.
Is that the guy?
You like him, don't you?
You're delusional.
We started dating yesterday.
