(Episode 15)
Do you have a cold?
A sick person should never drink this much.
That's enough. You'll feel sick later on.
Are you...
worried for me?
I am not. It's not that.
I was too harsh last time.
I said you were rude and arrogant.
I apologize.
Hey.
How much?
Are you okay? Walk properly.
Let go of me.
Can you get home safely?
Forget about me and go.
How can I forget about someone who can barely walk?
Don't worry about me and go home.
I can get home on my own.
Did he get home safely?
I can't take it.
Just take it. What if...
your creditors come here again?
Must you make me feel bad too?
- Jeong Wook. - I feel worse than I can handle...
without you adding to it.
Don't do this.
Soo In is heartbroken that...
what she did to help made him feel worse.
But she thinks that watching and doing nothing while...
Jeong Wook suffers would be even more heartbreaking.
Soo In has no idea what she should do...
to help Jeong Wook that would be best for them both.
I bet that...
you're laughing at me.
I showed off and lectured you...
only to have creditors show up.
And I messed up a contract.
You're right.
Even I think...
I'm pathetic.
So...
if you want to laugh at me, go right ahead.
- Hello. - Hi.
You don't look too well. Are you sick?
No, I'm fine.
I'm sorry about yesterday. I think I was harsh on you.
You weren't.
I have to go to the warehouse.
Did you get home okay last night?
Are you feeling okay?
Yes, sort of.
I had too much to drink last night.
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
You didn't say or do anything terrible.
Drinking too much can't be good for you.
Watch your limit from now on.
Oh, didn't you pay for me last night? How much...
Forget it. Don't worry about that.
Buy me a meal instead.
(Taesan Noodles)
- Did you eat breakfast? - Yes.
Jeong Wook.
The creditors who came by.
I'd love to help you,
but my father's in hospital and I can't. Sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
Why don't you talk to our boss?
Mr. Jung?
I've been thinking about it and I think that's your best option.
Talk to him.
I'll think about it. Thanks for your concern.
You're welcome.
So, what is it you want to say?
Well... You see...
Did you lose all the money I gave you again?
I guess you could say that.
The thing is, I have a new business plan.
- Man Pyo. - Yes?
I believe I said that...
the previous loan would be the last.
This one will be the last one, I promise.
No.
What?
I helped you more than I should.
I can't keep spending money on a lost cause.
Jae Man.
If you need money, work at my factory.
Sook Hee, how could Jae Man treat me like this?
What do you mean?
This is unbelievable.
I asked him to fund my business and...
What? Fund your business?
You said you weren't here to ask for money.
That's not the point here.
I knew this would happen. You're such an embarrassment.
That's not the real issue here.
He said he can't give me any more money.
He told me to work in the factory if I must.
What? Did he really say that?
He did!
Then work.
What's wrong with you?
Once my husband makes up his mind, it's over.
No one can persuade him.
What about me, then?
Get a job for now and we'll see.
You can't expect me to carry sacks of flour.
He wouldn't make you do physical labor.
Oh, the factory's manager resigned a while ago.
Maybe that's what he wants you to do.
The manager of a factory?
Yes. You manage people, so it can't be that hard.
Don't get any ideas and do as you're told for now.
This isn't what I wanted.
Hello? Hi, Se Young.
I have something to take care of,
so I need you to see our client in Seoul.
Yes, sir.
Take care.
I'll see you later.
Mr. Jung.
What is it?
Could you...
Honey. Hello, Mr. Choi.
What is it?
You're going to Seoul, aren't you?
Could you pass this book to Se Young?
She called to say she needs it for a lecture and she left it at home.
Did she?
I just decided to send Mr. Choi to Seoul instead.
Did you? Then you can pass it to her.
She'll be outside Daehan Bank on Shinchon Junction at noon.
Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Choi.
Weren't you about to say something?
It's nothing, sir. I should get going.
(CEO Jung Jae Man)
Kick these people out.
It's such a nuisance.
Hello? Hello, Mr. Jung.
Do you think Yoon Dong Chul has the money?
No. No one he knows has money to lend him.
Still, keep a close eye on him.
Are you sure the witness is under our control?
Yes, of course. Don't worry, sir.
Goodbye.
Do you know where the witness is?
Of course. I bet he's living it up in Busan.
"I bet"? When was the last time you checked on him?
Let's see... It was about two years ago.
- Two years ago? - Yes.
You fool. Go to Busan this weekend and check.
Make sure he agrees to keep quiet.
Yes, sir, I will.
You idiot.
The coffee tastes so much better when it's free.
Drink all you want.
Dong Chul, how could you do such a thing?
What do you mean?
You went to Soo In's workplace and asked for her pay in advance.
How did you find out?
Don't you feel sorry for the girl?
The smart kid put college on hold to work...
for over a year go pay for her mother's surgery.
Be quiet. Did you bring me coffee so you could nag?
Take it back.
You got upset over that? You can drink all you want.
Hi, Mr. Yoon.
- Mr. Bang. - Hello.
I got in touch with the people who can find the witness.
Did you? We must meet right away.
Do you have the money?
Not yet, but... I can still meet them.
You can't. They won't meet with people without money.
This is crazy. Do you know where I can get a loan?
No. It looks like you'll have to work.
What? Work?
You can't live like this for the rest of your life.
Consider finding the witness your first goal...
and get a job first.
This is Taesan Noodles.
Can I speak to Choi Jeong Wook?
Mr. Choi went to Seoul on a business trip.
A business trip?
Oh, no.
May I ask who you are?
I'm his sister.
You can leave a message with me. I will pass it on.
The thing is, I'm here to see him.
When will he be back?
I don't know.
Excuse me.
(Incheon Bus Terminal)
Are you Mr. Choi's younger sister?
Yes. Was that you on the phone?
Yes.
Did those people send you to get their money?
Yes.
Take this.
- What's this? - It's money.
Don't tell your brother I gave it to you.
Why would you...
Your brother did a lot for me until now.
I can't take this.
Take it and give it to the creditors.
If you leave with nothing, who knows what will happen?
(Daehan Bank)
What are you doing here?
Your father had other business and sent me instead.
- Here you go. - Oh, I see.
- Thank you. - Bye.
Wait.
Shall we have lunch?
We agreed you'd treat me to a meal for paying your bill.
The thing is...
I'm not free. I have to see a client.
Then let's have dinner.
See you at Miju Restaurant at 7pm. Can you do that?
I can.
You got off early today.
I did. I worked overtime last night, so I got off early today.
Why are you alone? Is Tae Soo still at work?
What? Are you disappointed I'm here and not Tae Soo?
What do you mean?
Ms. Oh told me everything.
She said you said I'm not a man.
I should shut her up for good.
To be honest, you aren't a woman to me.
A woman must be pretty and frail,
like the actress Yoon Jeong Hee.
A woman with broad shoulders like you...
who can beat most men is not for me at all.
What? Is that all you can say?
Yes, it is, why?
Stop it, both of you. You're adults.
Didn't you hear what he said?
He said I have broad shoulders and am like a man.
He insulted my character!
You said first that I'm not a man!
Then neither of you are each other's type.
Leave it at that. It's not worth fighting over.
- Fine. - "Fine"?
It's fine, fine from me.
See you at Miju Restaurant at 7pm.
Do you still have work to do?
What? Yes, a bit.
I have to make up for the trip to Seoul.
Can I help?
No, I can manage alone.
Don't worry about me and head home.
I'll leave you, then. Finish up.
Take care.
(Miju Restaurant)
Are you always this quiet?
Or is it because of last night?
I had too much to drink last night.
I was kidding. What kind of person can't take a joke?
What's your hobby?
I don't have one.
You don't?
What's your favorite book? Fiction or poetry...
I only read books about work and I barely have time for that.
I heard you have six younger siblings.
It must have been fun growing up.
Tell me what it was like. You must have some funny stories.
Funny stories?
Yes. I'm jealous of people who have many siblings.
I don't have any.
You're an only child of rich parents.
You might envy having a large family.
When poor parents have many children, our memories...
are mostly of trials and worries.
Did you have to put it like that?
I don't think the color of that tie suits you.
A darker color would...
What's wrong? Are you in pain?
My stomach had been hurting.
I'll get better soon. Don't worry about me.
Don't you need medicine?
It's not that bad.
(Miju Restaurant)
Thanks for the meal. I'll treat you next time.
What? I paid for your drinks and you paid for dinner,
so our transaction's done, is that it?
What I meant was...
Are you okay?
Se Young.
Hang in there.
Honey, Man Pyo said he thought long as hard...
about what you said today.
He said you're very right...
and agreed to do as you said.
Did he?
Yes.
I will do as you said and work hard in the factory.
You need to know the value of hard-earned money to run a business.
Yes. You are very right.
He's so obedient when you're around, darling.
Learn as much as you can from him.
You bet I will.
I'll consider this my management training.
Hello? You're calling pretty late, Mr. Choi.
What? Se Young?
Which hospital is she at?
What happened?
She's in surgery for acute appendicitis.
Se Young... Will she be okay, honey?
I'm sure she will. An appendectomy isn't a tough operation.
Try to relax.
How is it that you brought her here?
Well... We met by chance in the street.
By chance in the street?
How is she?
How is my baby, doctor? Is she okay?
She could've had peritonitis had she left it any longer.
Fortunately, she got here in time and the surgery went well.
Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much.
We'll keep her for observation.
I should get back home, then.
Sure. Thank you, Mr. Choi.
Mr. Choi, can we have a word?
Thank you. You practically saved Se Young.
I didn't, really.
I know you were upset about losing the Jeil Groceries' contract.
I apologize for being so angry. I hope you understand.
I had made a mistake. I promise it will not happen again.
Good. Did you manage to...
reach an agreement with the creditors who came over?
Yes.
Good. That's a relief.
Come to me whenever you need help.
I will, thank you. I should go now.
Really?
You're really going to work, Dong Chul?
Why are you so surprised?
It's been a while since you came home...
and you've always been out and about.
We were all worried you were taking too long to settle down.
Have you grown up now, Dad?
What?
Jung In, how dare you say that to your father.
Sorry. My bad.
Everything's a mess. I hate everything.
Have you found a job, then?
Do you think I can't find a job?
That's not what I meant.
Mr. Bang will find me work.
I won't ask for your help.
Hi, Soo In.
Soo In.
Hi, Tae Soo. Hello.
Do you know Se Young's in hospital?
In hospital? Is she sick?
She had an appendectomy last night.
Really?
If it hadn't been for Mr. Choi, Se Young would have suffered worse.
Mr. Choi?
He found her lying in the street and took her to hospital.
Any delay could've been bad.
Life takes many twist and turns.
Se Young screamed at Mr. Choi a few days ago.
Now she owes him her life.
Pay us by the end of this month or we'll come back here.
We warned you.
Hello.
Is Se Young in hospital?
Did you meet her on your way home?
What? Yes.
She got lucky.
I heard it could've been serious if you hadn't.
I guess so.
Let's visit her after lunch.
Visit her?
My son returns from America this year.
Do you know of any eligible young ladies?
Eligible young ladies?
Yes. He wants to stay and study a bit more,
but I'm afraid he'll put off marriage until he's too old.
Could you recommend a good family with a daughter of suitable age?
Mr. Nam, it's me.
Congressman Park has a son. Find out what you can about him.
His degree, grades, personality,
and how he gets along with his friends, anything.
Don't ask why.
Okay.
Hello.
- Hello, Mr. Choi. - Hi.
- Are you feeling okay? - Yes, I'm fine.
I thought it odd that my lower right abdomen...
hurt all through dinner.
I can't believe it was so close.
Hello, Mr. Choi.
- Hello. - Hello.
I can't thank you enough for what you did.
Thank you so much, Mr. Choi.
It was nothing.
It's not nothing. You saved my daughter's life.
I'll invite you over once she gets discharged.
I hope you accept.
I will.
Thank you so much, Mr. Choi.
Jeong Wook, why do you look so upset?
I need to drop by somewhere on the way back.
You go ahead.
Where are you going?
Nowhere in particular. See you back at work.
Why do you think Mr. Jung wants to know about Congressman Park's son?
How would I know what he's thinking?
I do know that he's an expert at finding ways to make money.
I guess he wants to make a penny.
I see.
Find out as much as you can. He studied in America,
so it might be harder than usual.
Yes, sir.
Come in.
Can I help you?
Do you give out loans to people?
I do.
The interest is 50 percent a month.
If you borrow 100 dollars, the monthly interest is 50.
The sooner you pay us back, the less you pay in interest.
No way.
What are you thinking about so intently?
What? It's nothing.
Let's go home.
Taesan Noodles.
Mom.
Is something wrong?
Jeong Hee came to see me?
No, I didn't know.
I wouldn't have spent the money had I known about it,
but I paid the creditors yesterday.
What should I do about this?
What are you talking about?
I thought you had given Jeong Hee the money.
She told me today that she got it from...
a female clerk who works with you.
A female clerk?
Yes, Mom. I'll call you back.
Why do you look so upset?
Once I'm named your new manager...
I will end your career.
I bet he teased Se Young's uncle.
Cheer up, Dae Bong.
Se Young comes home today.
Could you go and pick her up?
Do you want to meet my family?
Did you fight to go to college to marry a girl like her?
It's over between us?
Shall we start dating?
