Why must I always keep quiet?
Why am I always in the dark? Aren't I family?
Why won't anyone tell me anything?
My goodness...
You can't tell anyone about this. You must keep it to yourself.
I will. What is it?
Lean in closer. Come here.
My gosh.
What?
Jae Man's trying to break up Se Young and Jeong Wook?
Pipe down. What if someone hears you?
His plan is to get Jeong Wook out of the picture...
so Se Young can marry the heir of Chungil Flour?
Yes. Watch your tongue from now on.
I will. So, when Jae Man offered to buy him a house,
was that his ploy to put Jeong Wook at ease?
I think so.
My goodness.
But then, that's how people work.
We tend to change our mind about people once we take them in.
Even I think Se Young's losing out. How upset must you and Jae Man be?
We are. I do feel bad,
but we're doing this for Se Young.
Chungil Flour...
The grandson and heir, now that's tempting.
What will you do about Mr. Choi, then?
I don't know. Jae Man says he has a plan but he won't tell me a thing.
Be careful not to show you know.
You can't even tell Se Young.
You bet. Of course I won't tell her. Don't worry.
You startled me.
What are you doing here, Mr. Choi?
I was heading from the warehouse to the office.
Oh, were you?
Yes. I should get back inside.
Yes, yes, go on.
He can't have heard, could he?
- Mr. Choi. - Yes?
Where's the sales ledger? Didn't you leave to get it from your room?
Oh, yes. I'll get it later. I must do something else first.
Okay.
Why are you standing?
Do you have something to say to me?
No, sir.
I'm going out.
(Seonil Sewers)
Hello, Seonil Sewers.
Mr. Kim? This is Taeyoung Manufacturing.
Hello. To what do I owe this call?
Was there a problem with our order?
Why would there be? Your clothes are flawless as always.
I called to ask how Soo In is doing.
Oh, Soo In?
Yes. She didn't make the delivery so I asked Kyung Hee...
and she said Soo In now works in the office.
Yes, that's right.
Please tell her that my son misses her.
My mother does as well. We should go for dinner one day.
My treat.
Yes, thank you. Okay, goodbye.
Where did she go? Is she out looking for a job?
No way.
Kyung Hee.
What are you doing here?
Is Soo In in?
Soo In?
Yes. Could you get her for me? I need to ask her something.
She isn't in.
Is she not?
Did she go out?
Well, you see...
What is it? Is something wrong?
Well... What should we do, sir?
I think Soo In disappeared.
What do you mean she disappeared?
Read this.
Sorry, Kyung Hee. I know I shouldn't leave without saying goodbye,
but I don't want to upset you.
Forgive me for leaving without a word.
I'll be find wherever I am, so don't worry about me.
Thanks for everything.
We'll meet again one day, won't we?
Take care of yourself until then. Bye.
What should we do?
Do you really not know why Soo In left?
I don't. I didn't think she'd actually move out.
A friend of hers came by the office yesterday.
Could that be the reason?
A friend? Are you talking about Se Young?
Yes. I think that's what Soo In called her.
Do you know what happened between the two?
I asked her about it and she didn't say.
Do you know that friend as well?
No. I moved here in middle school so I only know her name.
I see.
The most important issue now is that Soo In disappeared.
Do you have any ideas about where she might have gone?
No. As far as I know, I'm the only person she knows in Seoul.
She mentioned quitting yesterday and said she'd look for a job.
I guess her plan was to find a job that provides lodgings.
Mr. Kim.
This might be too much to ask, but could you try looking for her?
She has nowhere to go and I'm so worried about her.
Jeong Wook, why are you so deep in thought?
You aren't eating at all. Is something bothering you?
No.
You look exhausted today.
Have some of this. It's your favorite.
Thank you.
I don't think he's been eating well.
Get him a health tonic.
I will. I'll get some tomorrow.
Dad's the best. Why didn't I think of that?
Mom, have the doctor use only the best ingredients.
I will, don't worry.
Sorry, but I'm not feeling well. May I be excused?
You can go upstairs, then.
Are you unwell? Do you need medicine?
No.
Jeong Wook, are you okay?
Do you really not need any medicine?
What? Shall I get you some?
Do you know about it?
About what?
Are you putting on a show?
A show? What are you talking about?
Never mind. I'm tired. I should sleep.
Is he really sick?
A show? What did he mean?
Jae Man's trying to break up Se Young and Jeong Wook?
Pipe down. What if someone hears you?
Chungil Flour...
The grandson and heir, now that's tempting.
What will you do about Mr. Choi, then?
I don't know. Jae Man says he has a plan but he won't tell me a thing.
What is he planning?
Do the Chungil Flour people know about me?
And they're still up for it?
Or do they not know anything?
What's going on?
As far as I know, I'm the only person she knows in Seoul.
She mentioned quitting yesterday and said she'd look for a job.
I guess her plan was to find a job that provides lodgings.
A job that provides lodgings?
Where is she?
Where are you? Why are you making me so worried?
Ms. Yoon, you did very well today.
I'll put this away. You can go to your room.
No, sir, I'll do it.
It's fine. It was your first day and a long and hard one.
I'll clean up.
I'll go to my room, then.
You do that. Goodnight.
Soo In suddenly felt that everything was so unfamiliar.
How did she end up in this room all alone?
Now that she's alone, Soo In feels a level of fearful loneliness...
that she had never felt when she lived with her family.
How will she manage in this strange place?
Again, she's enveloped by the feeling of loss and fear.
(Gayagwan)
What is it that you couldn't tell me over the phone?
Madam Cho told me to find out about your daughter.
Oh, did she?
Do you plan to find out about her?
Why would I have called you if I were going to do so?
I see.
Of course, my plan is to only relay your daughter's positive attributes.
Before I do, is there anything you think I should know?
What do you mean?
I'm sure it wouldn't be the case,
but if there's anything Madam Cho shouldn't find out,
you need to tell me right now.
What's wrong? Is there a problem?
My daughter's actually currently engaged.
What? She's engaged?
Do you mean she has a fiance?
Yes, she does at the moment.
Mr. Jung, how could you?
How can you think of marrying off an engaged woman to my master?
It will end very soon. Don't worry.
This is preposterous. We'll all be in trouble if Madam Cho finds out.
That's why I need your help.
How can you expect my help after planning something like this?
Have you forgotten the pure gold calf I gave you?
What?
It's give and take, remember.
We are in the same boat. I trust that you will help me.
Do you understand what I mean?
No need to get so nervous.
If this works out, you'll see the gold calf was just a trinket.
Please help me.
Are you sure the engagement will end?
Don't worry. It won't take long.
Mr. Nam. Do you have what I asked you to get?
Not yet?
I know it's hard to find, but you must hurry.
Okay.
I need to get rid of Mr. Choi before it's too late.
Se Young is Mr. Jung's only daughter and always did well in school.
She's kind-hearted like her father and gets along with all her friends.
She has a good personality.
All the good families in Incheon and Mr. Jung's business partners...
all want her to marry their sons, so she's an eligible young lady.
Is she?
- Are you sure about that? - Yes.
That is what I found out so far.
I see. You can leave.
Hello, Chungil Flour.
He'd clung on for so long that I thought he'd recover.
I see he passed on.
Okay. I will come over with Seon Woo today.
No, don't say that. Of course we should be there.
The benefactor of my son is a benefactor of my grandson.
Okay. See you then.
I'm back, sir.
Did you find any books on communism?
Not yet. Books like that are incredibly hard to find.
I can barely bring up the topic.
I know, right? Still, find one as soon as possible.
Mr. Jung called to ask if we'd had any luck.
Okay, I'll try. But sir.
Why does Mr. Jung need something so dangerous?
How would I know that?
How's the investment scam going on?
I told Mr. Hwang to slowly wrap things up.
He needs to keep gathering investors until the very last day.
- Tell him that. - Sure, I will, sir.
This is delicious.
You make the best coffee. No wonder you have so many customers.
Didn't you make a lot since you took over?
Not at all. You don't know what you're talking about.
What?
Coffee ingredients cost so much these days.
I can't exactly ask the customers to pay more,
so I'm always stressed out.
Oh dear, what a pity.
Shall I help you make a fortune?
What do you mean?
There's a great investment deal.
Do you want to put in some money?
The government's trying to develop and improve a city.
You'll make 10 times your investment.
10 times?
Yes. I'm giving you this tip because I care for you.
They're closing the offer soon. You don't have long to think.
Is this the time already? I need to go.
See you. You can stay seated.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Should I invest? How much should I spend?
10 times?
What are you mumbling about? Are you going to invest?
Did you hear me? The thing is,
there's a Mr. Hwang among our regulars.
He said he knows of an opportunity and suggested I put in some money.
Did he? What's the business?
Something about the government and a city.
He said that I can make 10 times what I put in.
What? 10 times?
Ms. Oh, can you ask the man if I can invest?
You too? Do you have money to invest?
I'll get the money from somewhere. I can make 10 times as much.
Okay? Put in a good word.
Okay. I'll see what I can do.
At last. The cursed three year period is over.
10 times?
(Shincheon-dong 54, Mebssi Wigs)
Where is it? He said it's somewhere here.
Do you know where Mebssi Wigs is?
I don't.
Excuse me.
What should I do?
I'm really sorry.
We ordered the food ages ago.
Our lunch hour's almost over.
I'm really sorry. I didn't know the way.
It's all cold and soggy.
Seolleongtang has to be eaten hot. We can't eat something like this!
I'm sorry. I'll go and get three more.
Forget it. We won't order from you anymore.
I'm so sorry. I do apologize.
I'm sorry, sir.
I can't expect you to know all the roads.
They must've shouted at you. Are you okay?
No.
I was so late they said they wouldn't order from us anymore.
They aren't our only regulars.
Don't worry and get back to work.
Let me do it, sir.
You must still be in shock. Take a break.
Did you find her?
I see. It can't be easy, but please keep trying.
Ask around the temp agencies and restaurants.
Okay, thank you.
I want to apologize for what I did yesterday.
I was so perplexed that I just...
I'm sorry.
Don't you feel sorry for yourself?
I didn't apologize because I wanted to.
Why did you?
I thought that...
you'd fire me if I didn't.
I really need to make a living.
That's why I worked up the courage to apologize.
She reluctantly apologized for fear of losing her job,
so where should she be now?
Hello, Seonil Sewers.
Why are you still in the office? We have to get there soon.
Okay, I'll leave right now.
Hey, Tae Soo.
What?
Sorry, but can I pay you back slowly?
Sure you can. Pay off your debt at the bar first.
Thank you. She threatened to come by if I don't pay her back soon.
It's not like you to get into that kind of trouble.
I don't know what happened. I'd lost my mind for a while.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this,
but I think Dal Ja's a good person.
I know that, okay?
Then why...
The problem is that my heart doesn't pound when I'm with her.
We lived in the same house for over 10 years and I never liked her once.
Doesn't that mean there's nothing there?
Come for it tomorrow.
- Fix it well. - I sure will.
Your business is booming now.
Is it because of the break?
I guess all the pots in town sprung a leak while I worked for you.
My arms ache so much they could fall off.
You're raking in money.
I guess I am.
Can you solder this?
Sure.
Hang on.
Aren't you Sergeant Bae?
Staff Sergeant Yoon?
How long has it been?
- Salute. - That's right.
Salute. What are you doing in Incheon?
You didn't live here.
I got a job at the shipyard.
- I see. - I can't believe we met again.
This is so emotional.
It's great to see a friendly face from the army.
Who is he?
My junior in the army.
We both fought for General MacArthur in the Battle of Incheon.
Say hello to my friend Mr. Bang.
- Hello. - Hello, hello.
- You're special friends, then. - We are.
Let's not stand around here. Have you eaten lunch yet?
- No. - I'll buy you lunch.
- Will you join us? - I have a store to run.
Too bad. See you around. Let's go.
- Enjoy your lunch. - Come along.
- It's been years. - I know.
I'll go grocery shopping. Do you need anything?
No. Do you have the shopping list?
I do. See you later.
Don't you think she looks much better?
I'm glad she moved on quickly. I thought it would last a while.
Me too. I think she's a strong person.
Come on inside. Come in.
This is my family's restaurant.
Dong Chul, who is this?
Sergeant Bae Choon Bok. He was my junior in the army.
We met in the marketplace.
Hello.
I'm happy to meet you.
Can we have some food?
Sure. Sit down. It won't take long.
Let me do it.
- Sit down. - Okay.
Sit.
Oh dear, my goodness.
Sir, which one of the ladies is your wife?
Well... They both are.
- What? - Here you go.
Here. I hope you like the food.
- Thank you. - Let's eat.
- Here. - Thanks.
Eat up.
Let's eat first and catch up later.
- Sure. - Eat, eat.
Here's the request form for the new noodle maker.
When can we exchange the machinery?
We asked they tailor-make one for us. It should take a week.
Make sure we fulfill all the orders on time.
Yes, sir.
Hello?
Secretary Kim.
You can leave.
Sure.
Yes, go ahead.
Will she stop by our factory? With her grandson?
Yes, okay. We'll be ready.
That must be Chungil Flour's Secretary Kim.
What's going on?
Mr. Choi.
Go and submit the papers at the government office.
I was going to go tomorrow.
I got a call asking for them today.
I have a lot to do right now. I'll go when I can.
I told you to leave now. Don't talk back.
Pardon? Okay, I'll leave right away.
He was such a good man. What a pity he's gone.
Had I known, I'd have taken you to see him more often.
What's the point in regretting now?
Life is so fleeting.
The family was very grief-stricken.
It was almost heartbreaking to leave.
It was. When a member of the family dies,
the pain the others feel...
cannot be explained by words alone.
Did you call Taesan Noodles?
Yes. I said we'd drop by on the way back to Seoul.
Good.
Chungil's chairperson's visiting? You didn't say so this morning.
She's dropping by with her grandson on the way back from a funeral.
If she's coming by our factory instead of going straight to Seoul,
it means she really thinks highly of you.
Should I say hello this time?
Yes, you should.
Let's invite her to our home instead of the office.
Okay. It's such a pity Se Young isn't here.
She'll be coming home late today.
No, it's for the best. I'd rather she not be here today.
Why? She should meet the grandson and say hello at least.
Don't be silly. She's still in love with Jeong Wook.
What if she were to mention him?
If word of her engagement gets out, the whole thing is over.
You're right.
We can set up a meeting between them at any time.
Today, we're just briefly saying hello.
Make sure you don't mess up.
I will. What should we do about Mr. Choi?
He'll be in the office.
Don't worry. I sent him on an errand.
I can't wait.
(Taesan Industries)
My goodness.
Welcome, madam.
I hope I'm not inconveniencing you by visiting on such short notice.
I couldn't just return to Seoul knowing you're a short drive away.
I'm glad you stopped by.
My wife wanted to say hello when she heard you'd be visiting.
Say hello. She's Madam Cho Geum Rye.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Hello, I'm pleased to meet you. This is my grandson.
Seon Woo, say hello.
Hello, I'm Kim Seon Woo.
Nice to meet you.
You're so much taller and better-looking than I heard.
Thanks for the compliment.
Come with us, ma'am. We'll serve you tea in our home.
Thank you.
Oh, hello, Mr. Choi.
Why are you here?
Did you not go to the office?
I'd left something behind.
How are you?
I was wondering why you weren't around.
- You were at work. - Yes.
You haven't met my grandson yet, have you?
Say hello. Mr. Choi did all the work regarding our contract with Taesan.
You two will be seeing a lot of each other.
I see. Hello. I'm Kim Seon Woo.
I'm Choi Jeong Wook.
Seon Woo.
Is something bothering you?
Where are you?
- Have a drink. - Don't do this.
- How dare you! - Ma'am.
Take this to Dong Chul on the way.
(Bae Choon Bok)
Sergeant Bae.
Choon Bok.
If you don't make head of a local chapter.
What are you saying?
You will need my help if you want to keep it a secret.
