(Episode 34)
I'm done now.
Why are you so surprised?
You act as if you've been stealing something.
Stealing doesn't only refer to objects.
It's a bigger theft to steal someone's heart.
Is it Sun Ho?
Sorry?
I'm asking if the person you like is Sun Ho.
Of all people...
Yi Ran.
Why are you still outside? You should come inside.
What's wrong, Yi Ran?
Ms. Yoon.
Why? What's wrong?
She found out.
She found out that I like Sun Ho.
What?
Is that why she's so angry?
What should we do?
Ms. Yoon.
Since when did you like him?
Does Sun Ho feel the same way?
No, you know how he feels.
Don't scold him.
He did nothing wrong.
I just like him one-sidedly.
After Jae Hee died,
we consoled each other.
That's when I started to like him.
Ms. Yoon...
No. Mother, I know how you must feel.
That's why I could never tell you about how I felt. I'm so sorry.
I never tried to deceive you.
Just stop.
I don't want to hear anything from you right now. Please leave.
What did she say?
I don't think she's easily going to calm down.
You were doing so well until this happened.
What if she just ends up ruining everything?
You know the day after tomorrow is...
the anniversary of Jae Hee's death, right?
That's not important right now.
I think I should talk to Yi Ran.
You'll only make things worse.
Then are we going to sit back and do nothing?
Mom. They say people should solve their own problems.
I'm the one who should deal with this.
What will you do if she never gives in?
It's foolish to go through something that's obviously going to hurt you.
No.
Even if it ends up hurting me, I'm still going to go through it.
I can never give up on Sun Ho.
This coffee was brewed with cold water for a long period of time.
So there's not a lot of bitterness,
the aroma is very nice, and it's also very soft. Give it a try.
- It smells nice. - It's refreshing.
Please come again. Goodbye.
You're here again. Try some coffee.
This is Dutch coffee.
Do we need to pay for this?
No. We're giving it to you for free.
Really? We should eat here from now on.
You're right. We can save money on coffee. Thank you.
Okay, please come again. Goodbye.
The customers are really loving it.
Let me try a cup of coffee.
Here.
Drinking a cup of coffee after work makes me feel so relaxed.
- It tastes nice, doesn't it? - Yes, it does.
Hi, Ms. Hong.
The customers really seem to like it.
- I think our sales will increase. - Me too.
This is all thanks to Dal Nim's great idea.
It's because Ms. Hong solved the problem regarding the unit cost.
It's not entirely because of Dal Nim.
Keep up the good work, everyone.
Hye Ri, are you a fan of Ms. Hong?
Why are you always taking her side?
I'm not taking her side. She played a big role in this.
None of that matters.
All that matters is that our customers enjoy it.
What are you doing in my office?
Is something the matter? Why do you look so down?
Aren't you here because you have something to say?
What is it? Just tell me what you need and leave.
I think Dal Nim started...
digging into her case.
She asked me about her bracelet and the black box footage.
What? So what did you tell her?
Of course, I told her she was wrong.
She said it was weird that...
both the bracelet and the black box had something to do with me.
She was suspicious of me and Ruby.
I was so flabbergasted.
Se Kang, you better make sure Ruby doesn't say anything.
I'm already doing my best.
Don't let your guard down.
Dal Nim recently approached Ruby by giving her...
your favorite food, braised short ribs.
What?
Dal Nim was the one who made the braised short ribs?
Yes. I think she even had a talk with Mom because of that.
I wondered why it tasted so familiar.
Enough about that. I'm also here to talk about Sun Ho.
Don't be too happy that you have someone to help you now.
It'll all be useless if you fail to win his heart.
Are you trying to make things worse for me?
Just stay still if you're not going to help.
I already have a headache because of that.
Why are you letting your anger out on me?
You can leave if you're done talking.
You brat. I was just about to leave anyway.
(Two days left until the anniversary of Jae Hee's death)
Yes, sir.
The book's ready?
Okay, I'll go to the publishing company tomorrow. Bye.
Aren't you hungry?
What do you say?
Sure! I'll bring the hot water.
Here. Hold the flap for me.
- My gosh, that's hot. - Oh, my goodness.
Give me your hand.
My gosh. It hurts a lot, doesn't it?
Gosh, I'm so sorry.
If something happens to my hand, you need to take responsibility.
What?
Do you know how much this hand is worth?
If I can't use this hand, I won't be able to cook.
Then that means I won't be able to earn money.
If I can't earn money, I won't be able to get married.
What will happen to me then?
You'll need to take care of me for the rest of your life.
You'll need to earn money and feed me.
Do you agree with me or not?
Fine, I'll take responsibility.
I'm not kidding.
I'm not kidding either.
I have a nice rice cooker...
that works perfectly if you just press the "Cook" button.
I'll have no problem feeding you for the rest of your life.
The noodles will get soggy soon. Let's hurry up and eat.
By the way, did something happen with Sun Ho earlier?
He looked really angry as he came out of your office.
I actually asked him about the black box.
But I don't think it'll be easy to get his help.
He said it's tormenting to remember what happened that day.
I understand. It's a terrible memory to think back on.
I'm sure he doesn't even want to think about it.
It might be hard to get his help right now,
but he'll slowly open up once he gets to know you properly.
So let's not be too impatient.
They began serving this today, and the customers loved it.
What do you think, Mom?
I don't really like coffee, but this isn't too bad.
It smells nice, and it's refreshing.
Right? You like it too, right?
But I can't believe Ms. Oh was the one who came up with this idea.
I really can't get a grip of that woman.
I first thought she started working there only to cause trouble.
But I guess I was wrong seeing that she came up with such a good idea.
You're the one who I can't get a grip of, Ko Bong.
How can you have...
absolutely no influence at work when you work as a CEO?
That's such a hard thing to do unless you're an invisible man.
Mom, this is so upsetting.
I didn't become the CEO because I wanted to.
My dream was to become a professional dancer.
I'm only working at a company...
because you didn't give me permission to dance.
It's hard to do something that doesn't suit me.
Your dream was to become a professional dancer?
You didn't know, did you?
Let me tell you. I was born with...
great dancing skills.
Stop kidding around and drink your coffee.
By the way, I heard that Ms. Hong...
solved the problem regarding the production cost for this coffee.
Even if there's a good idea,
it's all useless if you can't put it into action.
Don't you think Ms. Hong played a bigger role in this?
How did you know about that?
You're normally not interested in what the company does.
My goodness, Mother.
I hear stuff too.
I wonder what's wrong with all the men in this country.
They should all be after Se Na. She's pretty, smart, and talented.
Don't you think so, honey?
- What? - Honey.
Oh, right.
It's embarrassing to compliment my own sister like this.
But she was one of a kind ever since she was young.
She was always nice, courteous, and considerate.
We didn't grow up in a wealthy environment,
so we couldn't have black bean noodles frequently.
But every time we had them, she'd say she had a bad stomach...
and gave the noodles to me and my mom.
She was just a kid back then.
- My goodness. - That's the kind of person she is.
Let's invite her over soon.
Let's have a black bean noodle party.
Yes, let's do that. That's a great idea.
What about inviting her the day after tomorrow?
Sure. Let's invite her over the day after tomorrow.
She can take some freshly made kimchi while she's here.
Sun Ho, you're free that day, right?
No.
Why? Do you have plans?
That day is the anniversary of Jae Hee's death.
I'm going to go to my room now.
Didn't you know?
I completely forgot.
Great work. A black bean noodle party?
You guys aren't even considerate about your own son.
My goodness.
You're here.
Are you sick? I heard you didn't even eat dinner.
No, I'm not sick. I just don't have an appetite.
Do you want me to make you risotto, your favorite?
No, it's okay.
Did something happen at work?
No, I'm just tired.
Don't worry and go upstairs.
Okay, good night.
Grandma.
Why are you sleeping on your desk?
I was looking over some documents.
My goodness.
My gosh.
I'm okay. It's nothing.
Do you also resent me for...
sending you to work at the warehouse?
I resented you at first, but not anymore.
I learned how delicious a cup of coffee could taste...
after a hard day's work.
I learned how meaningful a piece of potato could be...
to a man who's been farming potatoes his whole life.
I didn't know these kind of stuff...
when I was working in the office. I'm learning things one by one.
It's the anniversary of Jae Hee's death soon,
so Ms. Yoon must start to feel uneasy.
You should go visit her often.
Okay. I was planning to go see her tomorrow.
That's great. You should rest now.
Okay. You too.
("The Taste of Life, The Life of Taste")
I'm relieved that the book came out before the anniversary of her death.
It'll be a great gift for Jae Hee. Thank you.
The publishing company did a lot more work than I did.
Mother, you don't seem so well.
Do you feel sick?
I just feel uneasy because it's the anniversary of Jae Hee's death soon.
Mother, do you want to go outside with me?
Let's eat something nice.
And I know you like paintings.
So we can go to an art gallery to see paintings.
I'll escort you. Let's go.
Please sit down.
I should've said this to you earlier,
but I couldn't because of Jae Hee.
I just felt too sorry for Jae Hee...
to just let go of you so easily.
Mother, what are you talking about?
Why would you have to let go of me?
You should forget about Jae Hee and make a fresh start.
You need to do that.
Mother, why are you doing this?
I still have the ring I gave to Jae Hee.
That ring belongs to Jae Hee.
No one else can replace her.
You should also think about your parents and your grandmother.
I'm sure Jae Hee doesn't want to see you live like this either.
You should get married to a nice woman before it's too late.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I'm going to leave if you're going to continue to say the same thing.
("The Taste of Life, The Life of Taste")
Should I go see Yi Ran?
No. Se Na said I'll only make things worse.
No. But I should still go see her.
What am I supposed to say?
Am I supposed to beg on my knees?
- Miss. - You're here.
What are you doing here? Where's the housekeeper?
I told her to go home.
I prepared your dinner instead.
You must be hungry.
You should wash while I heat the soup.
I never asked you to cook for me.
- Mother. - Why do you do as you please?
I have no appetite, so just leave.
Mother.
Mother. Please listen to what I have to say.
I told you to leave.
What are you doing?
Mother, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for hurting you.
If you refuse, I'll just...
give up on Sun Ho.
So please don't get angry at me.
I'm sorry for everything.
Se Na, what are you doing?
Why are you on your knees?
Mom.
Stand up. Come on.
Don't you think this is a bit too much?
It's not like she committed an unforgivable crime.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Why didn't you tell me that she likes someone...
when I set her up on a blind date?
Why didn't you tell me that she likes Sun Ho?
I couldn't tell you because I was scared that you'd act this way.
How could I tell you when I know how you'd feel?
Se Na tried to give up on him and even went on that blind date.
But...
Are you really willing to give up on him?
I'm asking if you're really willing to do that.
Yes.
I'm willing to give up on him.
You're going to give up on Sun Ho?
Why would you do that?
Yi Ran, I won't let her do that.
Why does she need to give up on him?
Why does she need your permission to like someone?
Why does she need to give up on him?
Hurry up and stand up.
Don't do this, Mom.
Yi Ran, you can't do this to her.
You know how nice Se Na has been to you all these years.
She cared for you more than she cared for me.
Se Na suffered a lot too.
She couldn't say anything about who she liked because it was Sun Ho.
Can you even imagine how hard it must've been for her?
I don't know why I have to be hearing all this. Please leave.
You don't need to come see Jae Hee tomorrow.
Mother.
Se Na, let's go.
- Come on. - Mom.
Why did you come?
I told you not to do anything.
You ruined everything!
I got angry...
the moment I saw you on your knees.
Do you think I did that because I wanted to?
I can sacrifice every part of my own body,
but I can't bear to see my own child begging on her knees.
Whatever. Tell her to be against it. I can't take this anymore.
What will we do then?
We'll just have to walk different paths from now on.
Yi Ran is the one who'll feel empty if she loses us.
What are you thinking about?
Didn't you go home yet?
I'm going to go home now.
Tomorrow's the anniversary of Jae Hee's death, right?
You remembered.
How could I forget?
That day is when Jae Hee died,
and I became a murderer.
I'd love to go to the charnel house to say hello to her, but...
I'm going to go with my mother. You don't need to worry.
Where's Mother?
She went to the charnel house early in the morning.
Sun Ho and Se Na...
made you a precious gift.
Jae Hee.
I think it's time to let go of Sun Ho now.
I know you also want him to meet someone nice...
and be happy.
("The Taste of Life, The Life of Taste")
I think that's the last gift I can give you.
Yes, sir.
You found out where Mr. Hyun is?
What? He's at Choigo Foods?
Yes, I don't know any details.
But I just heard that he works there.
Okay, thank you. Bye.
Are you going to work?
You look fine as if...
nothing ever happened.
Aren't you afraid of the skies?
I'm sure you know what day it is today.
Do you know how tormenting it was to go see Jae Hee today?
I'd love to die and be with her, but I can't because of you.
As long as you're alive,
I can't go to her side even if I want to.
I have to live because I have a lot to do.
If I'm the only reason you're staying alive,
then I hope you continue to keep living that way.
Stop right there!
- Move. - Ms. Yoon.
Sir.
Are you okay, sir?
Yes, Mr. Hyun.
You seem very happy.
I'm always happy.
I respect you for always being so full of energy.
My gosh, that's all thanks to you and our employees.
You guys always do a great job.
You're even humble.
I hope you have a great day today.
- Thank you. You too, sir. - Okay.
That sly serpent.
My gosh, that pathetic fool.
If he wasn't the chairwoman's son,
he'd only be dancing at a small cabaret right now.
I should just have him come down from his puppet CEO position.
Hello?
Okay, please call me. Bye.
- Mr. Hyun? - Who are you?
Mr. Hyun. Do you remember me? I'm Dal Nim.
My gosh, of course. Yes, I remember you.
- It's been so long. - How have you been?
I've been doing okay.
But what brings you here?
I came to see you.
I heard that you work here,
but I didn't know which team, so I was going to ask around.
I'm so glad I ran into you.
You came to see me?
To be frank, my mom and I have been living apart from each other...
because of an incident.
But I can't reach her right now.
I was wondering if you heard anything about her.
No, I haven't heard anything at all.
I haven't kept in touch with her...
after what happened to your dad.
I see.
- I'm sorry I can't be of any help. - Hello, sir.
Yes, hello.
Dal... Dal...
Okay. You can get going now.
Okay. I'll be off then, Director Hyun.
"Director"? Are you a director here?
What?
- Well, the thing is... - That's great.
I heard you also went through a hard time...
after failing a business with my dad.
I'm glad you're doing well.
Dal Nim, I'd love to drink tea with you,
but I have an important meeting.
I'll call you if I ever hear anything about your mother.
Okay, that'd be great.
- Okay, I'll go now then. - Okay, bye.
What are you doing?
Be quiet and follow me.
Why did you drag me here?
Hey, why are you here again?
Why did you meet Director Hyun?
Mind your own business.
How can I mind my own business?
If you're not going to tell me, I'm going to go ask him myself.
He's acquainted with my mom.
I came to ask about her.
Is that really all?
- Do you think I'm like you? - What?
I'm telling you the truth,
so it's up to you whether you believe me or not.
What?
Why does she have to know Director Hyun?
This is not good.
("The Taste of Life, The Life of Taste")
Mother must've came here already.
Jae Hee, we're here.
I hope you like your book.
("The Taste of Life, The Life of Taste")
Jae Hee.
I'm going to find the person who did this to you.
Just wait.
(Sun Ho)
The receiver cannot answer your call. Please leave a message...
You must be hungry. Do you want to eat something?
What's wrong? Are you sick?
It's nothing. I think I have cold.
This is not nothing. You're burning right now.
Wait here. I'll go get you medicine.
- Hello? - Jae Wook, it's me.
Did you visit Jae Hee?
Are you with Sun Ho right now?
He's sick, so I'm on my way to get him medicine.
What? He's sick?
I wonder if he's back already.
Jae Hee.
Jae Hee, don't go.
What are you doing here?
Well...
- Are you okay? - Let go of me.
You can't go anywhere like this.
Mind your own business.
Ms. Jung Jae Hee is dead.
Even if you yearn for her, she still won't come back.
She's no longer living in this world.
I know that...
your life became miserable because of me.
But it's now time for you to...
come back to your senses.
If you're not confident to do that,
you can continue to live your life...
like a fool in self-pity and keep calling out for someone...
who will never come back.
(Sweet Enemy)
The father of the baby...
Ms. Oh Dal Nim made this herself.
What's wrong with you?
She was already like your daughter-in-law. It was so nice.
"Daughter-in-law"?
Ms. Hong, you should leave now. It's too late.
Didn't you hear me? I said you should leave.
Okay, ma'am.
My mom won't be able to say anything...
if Ms. Yoon also supports Se Na.
Can't you try and convince your mother?
I'm sure Mr. Hong's car was also at the summer house.
Why did you only turn in your black box footage?
That's because he didn't have a black box installed.
He didn't have a black box installed?
What? Yi Ran called you over?
Sit down.
(Sweet Enemy)
