(Episode 27)
I have something to tell you.
About what?
I like Mr. Choi.
What?
Didn't you hear me? I like Mr. Choi.
I know about your relationship.
I also know where you were yesterday.
But...
I will never give up on him.
You should.
Se Young.
I came here to say that. Bye.
You are back.
Jung In came home from school early.
I see.
Is something wrong? You look upset.
I'm fine. I'd like to go inside.
- Hi, Soo In. - Hello.
Oh, did you see Se Young today?
She came looking for you last night.
I said you'd be staying with a friend.
Did you say that?
Yes. Why? Why did she want to see you?
Hang in there.
Look after yourself.
You weighed too little.
You should eat well.
Soo In.
You have to give up.
My goodness.
Why did you drink so much?
What? Can't I drink sometimes?
Keep quiet.
What if you wake your dad?
Go into your room.
Now tell me why you had so much to drink.
I was so upset.
Upset? About what?
What upset you so much that you had to get drunk?
Why wouldn't I be upset?
My pride hurts as well.
Why is she always getting in my way?
Why?
What are you talking about?
Who is in your way?
Is this about me?
Are you upset because I won't let you be with Mr. Choi...
or take your side?
Yes, you're right. It's all on you.
I don't care about everyone else, but you should support me.
It's hard enough as it is.
How am I supposed to go on without you?
Se Young.
Mom, I can't give up on Mr. Choi.
I won't.
I might really die if I have to live without him.
Why do you like him so much?
I just do. I like him so much.
Can you please not hate him so much?
I can't live without him.
What should I do about her?
I know about your relationship.
I also know where you were yesterday.
But...
I will never give up on him.
You should.
Did you not sleep well?
Se Young.
Can we talk this evening?
Sure. I have something to say to you too.
(Taesan Industries)
- Hello. - Hi.
I did some thinking last night.
I'd like you to introduce me to your stepmother.
Can you ask her when she's free?
Okay, I will.
Ask what kind of food she likes as well.
- Here's the 30 dollars. - Thank you.
Why do you need all that money for?
You don't need to know why.
Don't cause any trouble.
I have enough on my plate without you adding to it.
I can't get into any trouble with this kind of money.
I'm glad to hear that. Don't squander it.
I will. See you later.
Taesan Noodles.
Mr. Choi, it's me.
Hello.
I'd like to talk to you at lunchtime.
Of course.
Yes, I know the place. Bye.
Who was it?
Sorry? Oh, it was a client.
I have to go to the bank.
Okay. Take care.
(Incheon Post Office)
I sent the money because they asked,
but I think it's costing too much.
It can't be easy to find a man you don't even...
- know the name of. - Yes, but...
who knows how much more they'll want me to send?
Why should you worry when there's Mr. Go?
I can't keep borrowing his money.
Why not? He might become your son-in-law.
He might not.
I haven't even mentioned him to my wives.
Why don't you just ask your daughter?
What?
Even if your wives object, it's a done deal if she likes him.
Isn't that her over there?
What great timing. Talk to her.
I'll see you later.
- Dad. - Hello.
Are you going somewhere?
To the bank. What about you?
I had something to do nearby.
I see.
- I should go, then. - Okay.
Wait, Soo In.
Yes?
If you aren't busy, can we have a chat?
Dad. Do you need money?
What?
It's not about money. Don't worry.
Then what's going on? Tell me.
Okay, so...
It's great to study, I know that.
What you learn can all become useful.
But the most important thing a woman can do in life is to...
meet a good man and get married.
That's why we say a women's fate is like a gourd.
What?
You're old enough to get married.
I did nothing for you all your life and it weighs on me.
Don't you think you should marry into a good family?
What are you trying to say?
Go on a blind date.
- A blind date? - Yes.
I met a man who is perfect son-in-law material.
I think he'll treat you and our family well.
Dad.
Don't you want to?
What's there to not like? I'm doing this for you.
Don't tell your mother or stepmother that...
I asked you about this, okay?
Did you ask her? Did she say she'd meet him?
Of course she did. She should do as her dad says.
I knew she was obedient.
She's pretty and good-natured. You have a great daughter.
- Hello. - Hello, ma'am.
- Have a seat. - Thank you.
I ordered the food already.
Is there anything you want to eat in particular?
- I don't mind what we eat. - Do you not?
I heard it was your mother's birthday.
Had I known sooner, I'd have sent a present.
It's okay.
Does your mother live alone?
No, she lives with my youngest sibling who's in middle school.
I see.
Your sibling must be smart, like you.
Ma'am, may I ask what you want to say?
I don't have anything to say.
I just wanted to treat you to a meal.
I see.
I heard you live alone. Do you eat well?
Yes, I do.
You're the oldest of seven siblings.
That must be a huge burden. So...
So you support all your siblings?
They all work.
I don't have to support them because I'm the eldest.
I see. That's a relief, then.
Exactly how much debt do you have?
Why do you ask?
I'm just curious.
I remembered seeing the creditors at the factory.
I apologize. It won't happen again.
I shouldn't have brought that up. Sorry.
The food's here. Put it over here.
Eat all you want.
I will, thank you.
How unbelievable. He should just answer my questions.
What? "Why do you ask?"
I can't stand him.
I can't believe what I'm doing for Se Young. It's horrible.
- What's horrible? - My goodness.
Why are you here and not at work?
My pants got dirty and I had to change.
Is something wrong? You look annoyed.
It's nothing. Get back to work.
Oh, right. Sook Hee, did you find anything in Se Young's room?
What? No, I didn't find anything.
Really? I guess she kept it well-hidden...
so no one would find it.
I'm off to work.
I hate this.
What a mess.
Mr. Overseer.
Did you just call me?
Do we have another overseer?
What is it? You're scaring me.
Don't be. I only used your official title.
Whatever you're trying to do won't work on me.
Stop it right now and get to work.
I'm not trying anything. I want us to get a drink one day.
A drink?
We've been working together for a bit and never drank together.
The drinks are on me.
You want to buy me drinks?
- What for? - Why else?
You taught me the ropes and helped me get settled.
I'm so grateful for all that.
You know that much, do you?
Of course I do. I'm terrible at expressing it,
but I really am grateful.
Let's go for a drink soon.
If that's how you feel, let's set a date.
Okay.
You are now under my control.
I don't have anything to say.
I just wanted to treat you to a meal.
You can go home now.
- Yes, sir. - Good evening, sir.
Bye.
Soo In.
Something came up. I have to go.
What is it?
It's personal. See you tomorrow.
(Incheon Cafe)
What were you talking about yesterday?
What do you think? I meant what I said.
I like Mr. Choi.
Mr. Choi and I love each other.
That's impossible.
Haven't you asked him yet?
Why not? Ask him.
I thought I should check with you before I ask him.
Check with me?
Do you think I lied to you last night?
Too bad.
Mr. Choi and I really do love each other.
That can't be. How...
Do you remember when I had the appendectomy?
Mr. Choi said he found me in the street and took me to hospital.
He didn't. Mr. Choi and I had dinner together.
I fainted on the way out.
Se Young.
The day you were meant to go on a date with him.
Mr. Choi spent the day with me.
How...
We'll get married soon.
I already met his mother and siblings.
You look so shocked.
You have to give up.
Give up and it ends here.
I don't believe you.
Of course it's hard to believe.
But it's all true.
Even if it is all true,
if Mr. Choi went along with it, he must've had a reason to.
A reason?
Yes. If he was with you the day you had surgery,
there must have been a reason.
There must also be a reason he couldn't tell me about it.
- Do you think so? - That day,
if he took you somewhere, there must be a reason for that too.
Then what about me seeing his family?
That's...
If what you said is true, then I'll have to ask Mr. Choi...
and see what kind of meeting it was.
You have incredible trust in Mr. Choi.
I do. I trust him.
That's why I can't suspect him.
If that's all, I'd like to go.
What now? What do you want to say?
Why are you so annoyed?
I'm tired. Say what you want and get out.
I met Mr. Choi today.
What? Why did you meet him?
What did you say? What did you tell him?
I didn't say anything. We just had lunch.
That's a lie. What did you say?
What did you tell him?
I really didn't say anything.
I bought him a meal and that was it.
That was it?
Yes.
Why? What did you meet him for?
Why do you think? Because you wouldn't stop talking about him.
Will you help me? Are you on my side now?
I don't know.
Mom.
Don't do this.
It doesn't mean I like him.
It's just that I have no choice but to give in to you.
I know that. Thanks, Mom.
Forget about me. What about your dad?
You have to help me talk to him.
I can't do that. I'll leave him to you.
Mom's on my side now.
I just need that.
Sorry. I don't think I can go today.
Why not?
Something came up at the factory.
At the factory?
I'll come with you and help.
No. I can handle it on my own.
I can manage.
Soo In is trying with all of her might to trust Jeong Wook.
She tells herself that...
she can talk to him and believe whatever reason he gives her.
But if there's a reason she cannot accept,
she is unsure of what she must do, and the impending truth...
engulfs her with fear and dread.
You got here early.
I did. Good morning.
You look terrible. Did you not sleep well?
I'm fine.
Can you tell me why you left work early yesterday?
It was a family thing. Mom asked me for her help.
Did she? Is there anything else?
No.
- Jeong Wook. - Yes?
Do you have something to say?
No.
Dal Ja.
Where are you going? To the market?
Why do you care where I go?
I'm really sorry for standing you up that day.
I didn't do it on purpose. I honestly forgot.
An apology won't cut it. Do you know how long I waited?
Get out of my way.
Let's watch another movie.
What?
Let's watch a movie together. And eat together.
My treat.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
What? Don't you want to?
Isn't that Dae Bong and Dal Ja?
See you Sunday at 11am outside the theater.
Okay, then.
I'll mark my calendar so I don't forget.
Take care. I have to make a delivery.
Bye.
What's going on?
Where are you going?
To see my friends.
I wasn't in the mood to see them,
but Ms. Kang insisted I come because she's treating us.
Really?
Her eldest daughter's getting married soon.
To a prosecutor or something.
I'm going to really enjoy my meal.
Sure. I really hope you do.
She must've hidden it in here.
Where is it?
I knew they'd be here.
Taesan Noodles.
Put Soo In on.
I know she's in the office.
Put her on.
It's for you.
- Hello? - It's me.
What do you want?
You said you couldn't believe me.
I'll make you believe me. Let's meet up later.
Okay.
Are you done already? You barely ate.
It's spring and I lost my appetite.
You need to eat as much as you can so you can work.
I don't get it when someone says they don't have an appetite.
How can it happen when there are so many delicious things?
You'd never get it...
even if you died and were born again.
I don't want to get what it's like.
What's going on with her? She seems to be in a great mood.
She's meeting that man to watch a movie on Sunday.
Is she really?
So that's it. She was so gloomy just this morning.
When did you make the plans. Today?
Yes. We met this morning and talked about it.
He apologized for getting sick and said...
he felt so bad.
This morning?
Dal Ja, will you really not tell us who it is?
I'll tell you if it works out.
You'll be the first to know.
Okay, then.
(CEO Jung Jae Man)
Come in.
I'm back.
How did the collection go?
I got everything back.
From everyone on the list?
Yes. Everyone paid what they owe.
Well done.
Good job.
Take this.
It's too much, sir.
I'm giving you what you deserve. Take it.
Thank you.
Hello.
Tae Soo, where have you been? I didn't see you at all yesterday.
I ran an errand for Mr. Jung.
Oh, I see.
- See you later. - Jeong Wook.
What is it?
Can we meet up after work today?
- See you. - Bye.
What's this?
Repay your debts.
Sorry I couldn't help when you needed it the most.
Tae Soo.
I don't need the money. Pay me back when you can.
Where did you get so much?
Is something wrong? You don't look too happy.
Everything's fine.
How did things go last Sunday?
Jeong Shik told my family about...
Soo In's family that day.
That her father was in prison and has a mistress.
Did he?
Soo In must be feeling terrible.
Yes. She didn't say much at all today.
I'm sure you'll do fine, but remember that...
you're the only one she can trust and rely on.
I know that.
I should treat her better.
What did you mean by what you said?
How will you make me believe?
I didn't want to go this far.
In case you get shocked.
But seeing that you don't believe me,
I have no choice.
What's this?
Have a look.
Well? Now do you believe me?
Where to?
You'll know when you get there.
Where are we?
This is your store now.
Let me treat you to a meal.
I'm Go Chun Seok.
I told you about a man who is great son-in-law material.
Is something wrong?
I'm not seeing Se Young.
And you ate dinner with her and went on a date with her?
What are those photos? Why are you doing this to me?
Because I love you.
Is it love to torture someone?
