(Episode 83)
I'm back.
Madam Lee.
Mr. Jang.
Is this the soup restaurant that you own?
Yes, this is it.
Isn't that why you're here?
No. I just came here to eat.
I see. This is my restaurant.
Young Sun, do you know him?
He's the Mr. Jang I told you about.
Hello, I heard a lot about you.
You're from her hometown.
Yes. It's nice to meet you.
You two can talk. I have go get the groceries.
Okay, Dal Ja. See you.
Please sit, Mr. Jang.
Thanks.
You must come to Incheon often.
I do.
There must be so many restaurants here...
and I ended up at the one you own.
It's such a coincidence.
It is. It was odd how we met last time as well,
at Chungil Flour in Seoul.
Yes, right.
You said your daughters live in Seoul.
Are they married?
Not yet.
I see. Do any of them have plans to marry?
The older one is dating someone. They will be married soon.
I see. That's great.
The man's family disapproved of her,
but they recently gave in and things are working out.
I see.
Do you like the man she's seeing?
Yes, I like him so much.
He cares a lot for my daughter...
and I think he's a nice young man.
Madam Lee is Soo In's mother?
Does that mean Soo In and Mr. Kim are half-siblings?
It can't be. How could something like this happen?
(Chairperson Cho Geum Rye)
Come in.
Do you know where Mr. Jang is?
You asked to see him.
I sent him to see a buyer to check something. Why?
I have something to pass to a client.
Will he be a while?
I think so.
Send Mr. Han if it's urgent.
I should.
I'll be home late today.
Will you meet Soo In?
Yes.
Okay.
Don't let her distract you too much from your work.
Do your duties first.
I will, don't worry.
Welcome.
Se Young.
You're in. You weren't when I came by yesterday.
I heard you came by. What did you want?
To introduce you to my friend.
I heard you met Soo In yesterday.
When did you get in touch?
Well, that's...
She found me somehow shortly after I moved to Seoul.
She found you?
How'd she know you were here?
I don't know.
Why are you so curious about her?
What?
Because we're friends of course.
We were very close as kids.
Why didn't she call you for years?
I don't know. Maybe life got in the way.
How is she? Could you give me her number?
I haven't seen her in a while and would like to see her.
Oh, that.
I don't have her number.
I see. Do you have her address then?
No, I don't.
You really don't? How could you not?
She always comes here to see me, so I never asked.
Even if you never asked, how could she not give her own sister...
her number and address?
I'll tell her you want to meet her when I see her next.
Okay. Do tell her I'd love to see her.
Mr. Choi, he's the director of Haneul Orphanage.
Did Mr. Nam fill you in?
Yes.
Let me confirm the plan.
Your orphanage will receive funding from Chungil Foundation.
We want you to give us 70 percent of that money.
Does that mean I can spend...
the remaining 30 percent?
Yes, of course.
How you spend that money is none of our business.
Then we have a deal.
How many orphans do you have?
We have about 120 right now.
If you want more funding, forge the papers...
so they show you have twice that many.
You'll have to doctor your expenses and costs.
Do you get what I mean?
Yes. You don't have to worry about that.
Mr. Nam, make sure there won't be any problems down the line.
Yes, sir.
Here's a list of orphanages the foundation can support.
Did the directors agree to help?
Yes. They have no reason to refuse.
They love money.
Well done. You can leave.
Hello?
Hello, ma'am, it's Jung Jae Man.
I called to discuss offering support to more orphanages.
I see.
I have to visit a client in Incheon tomorrow.
If you're free, why don't we talk about it over lunch?
Yes, let's do that.
I'll see you tomorrow then.
Come in.
You're back.
Did you go to the restaurant Soo In's mother owns?
Yes, I did, but she had moved away.
She'd moved?
Yes. I'd been given an old address.
I told my man to get a recent one.
Okay. Keep me in the loop.
Yes, ma'am.
Is there something else you wish to say?
No.
Seon Woo asked for you earlier. Go and see him.
Mr. Kim asked for me?
Why are you so surprised to hear that?
It's nothing.
Do excuse me then.
Come in.
Did you ask to see me?
Yes. Sit down.
Thanks.
Did Grandma send you on an errand?
Yes.
Is there something you need me to do?
There was, but I sent Mr. Han instead.
I see.
- Mr. Kim. - Yes?
If you're free, could you join me for a drink this evening?
This evening?
Sorry. I'm meeting Soo In.
Then spare me some time afterwards.
Sure, I'll do that.
Mr. Kim.
You said that you ate at Soo In's mother's...
soup restaurant.
- Yes. - While you were there,
did you see Soo In's mother?
Yes, I did.
I see. You met.
Why are you asking about that.
Oh, that?
I was just thinking about something.
Did something happen while you were on Grandma's errand?
You don't look too well.
Don't I? I guess I'm just a little tired.
I'll let you get back to work.
This is pretty. I'll take this.
I'll buy this.
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
This one's sold.
It's sold?
What's it doing here then?
One of my regulars bought it a while ago.
She paid a deposit because she didn't have enough cash.
I forgot to put it aside.
Don't you have one more? I really like it.
Sorry, that's the last one.
What do you think about this?
I don't like that blouse.
Can't you sell this to me?
Oh, dear.
I brought the rest of the money.
Give me the blouse.
This is mine.
How is it yours?
I'm about to buy it.
You can't. I already paid a deposit.
It's mine. Give it to me.
A deposit doesn't mean anything.
It's mine if I pay for it in full.
Sell this to me.
I'll pay you double.
What? Who says you can do that?
You can't do that. Give it to me.
Give it back.
Ms. Oh, can't you let her have it?
Why should I? I said I'd pay for it first?
I've been a regular for years. How can you do this to me?
Listen, I've been a regular for 10 years.
Lady, this doesn't suit you anyway.
And why are you so shameless?
What? Shameless?
You think you can cut in and pay others to give way.
Give me that. Here's the money.
What's wrong with her?
Who on earth is she?
She owns the cafe at the junction.
What? She owns a cafe?
Unbelievable.
What? What is wrong with that woman?
I wouldn't be this upset if the blouse suited her.
It didn't.
I bet it didn't. Not many can pull off your kind of fashion.
Do you know what really upset me?
The fact that she tried to sort it out with money.
That's the problem with rich people.
People should come before money.
Some people look down on the less fortunate.
I can't stand them.
I won't end up like that, Ms. Oh. Don't you worry.
What?
Even if I want to,
I don't have the money.
You're so silly.
If I ever see her at it again,
I will really teach her a lesson.
Don't you get involved with her.
If anyone upsets you, tell me.
I will teach them a lesson for you.
I see you're in a rotten mood.
Shall we watch a movie this evening?
That's the best way to cheer someone up.
A movie?
Okay. Let's watch it after work.
Okay.
I don't think we ever walked hand-in-hand before.
Soo In, do you know how I feel?
"Is this what true happiness is?"
"This is great."
"I'm so happy."
I feel the same.
You too?
Yes.
Now we held hands, there's a lot more we must do.
We must watch a movie,
and take Ji Hoon to an amusement park.
And we must go to the beach as a family.
Let's do all that one by one.
Okay. We're in no hurry. Let's take our time.
Do you think Ji Hoon's having fun with his neighbor?
Yes.
Let's buy him some snacks on the way home.
And for his friend.
Okay.
Shall we take Ji Hoon to the zoo next time?
He'd mentioned that he wanted to go to the zoo.
He'll be really pleased.
(Shine Restaurant)
Taesan's factory manager took me to a soup restaurant.
It turned out that the owner is Soo In's mother.
Yes, I like him so much.
He cares a lot for my daughter...
and I think he's a nice young man.
Mr. Jang.
You made it, Mr. Kim.
Yes. You had a lot to drink. Are you okay?
Yes. I'm fine.
Why did you want to talk?
I have something to say to you.
Mr. Kim.
You must break up with Soo In.
What? Why would you say something like that?
Please do as I say.
You must.
Break up with Soo In.
You and her cannot get married.
So please, break up with her.
Why are you saying this?
Did my grandma say something?
Did she tell you to say this to me?
No. She did not.
Then why are you saying all this?
Don't ask why. Please, just break up.
You two cannot be together.
Why can't we be together?
What do you mean?
Mr. Jang.
You're late.
Grandma, did you say something to Mr. Jang?
Like what?
Did he say something?
He told me to break up with Soo In.
Did you put him up to it?
What do you mean?
Was it really not you?
I never told him to say that.
Did you?
I just don't get it.
He supported me even when you disapproved of Soo In.
Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Do you really not know?
I don't.
Did Mr. Jang really tell you to break up with Soo In?
Did he really?
Yes.
When? When was this?
Just now.
Really?
What's this about if it's not about my grandma?
(Chungil Flour)
He told me to break up with Soo In.
Did you put him up to it?
Come in.
- You called me. - Sit.
Sure.
Seon Woo said you told him to break up with Soo In.
Did you say that?
Yes.
Did you find out something in Incheon?
What did you find out that made you tell Seon Woo to break up?
Are you hiding something from me?
Tell me.
The truth is, Soo In's father...
has a criminal record.
He has a criminal record? What do you mean?
He served 10 years for murder.
What? For murder?
Yes. That's why I told Mr. Kim...
to break up with Soo In.
You should have come to me as soon as you found out.
I apologize. I was afraid you'd be too shocked.
I wanted to persuade Mr. Kim myself.
A record for murder?
My goodness.
Is Seon Woo aware of this?
I don't think he is.
I didn't tell him.
Tell Mr. Jang to come and see me.
He's not at his desk.
Is he not? Then tell him I asked for him.
Ma'am.
Hello. Sit down.
Sure.
Why would you wish to see me?
There's something...
I wish to run by you.
I heard that...
your father did time for murder.
Is that true?
It is.
Did you keep that from us on purpose?
No.
I didn't, but...
I apologize for not telling you.
Forget it.
When I gave you permission to marry,
it was because you were so in love...
and I knew how that feels.
Your shortcomings...
are your issues and I can turn a blind eye to those.
If your father...
did time for murder, that's a whole different issue.
What would happen to Chungil if our investors found out?
Are you trying to ruin Seon Woo's life?
You're a thoughtful girl. Why didn't you think about that?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm so sorry.
However hard I think,
I cannot accept this.
Ma'am.
If you really love Seon Woo,
think what is the best you can do for him.
I'm sure you can reach...
an appropriate decision.
If you really love Seon Woo,
think what is the best you can do for him.
I'm sure you can reach an appropriate decision.
Chungil Flour.
It's me.
Soo In. Why are you calling me?
I'd like to see you this evening if you're free.
Sorry. I have a lot of work to catch up on.
Shall I come over to your place?
No. If you're busy, I'll see you tomorrow.
Why? Is something the matter?
No.
I just have something to tell you.
What is it? Can't you tell me now?
I'll tell you in person.
Good luck with work. See you tomorrow.
Ms. Oh, shall we watch another movie this evening?
Movie are 100 times better...
when I watch them with you.
That's a lie. You look at me...
instead of the screen.
Did you see that when you were supposed to be watching the movie?
Yes.
Do you like me that much?
You bet.
Here.
Take it.
What's this?
It's a ring.
Did you steal this from your sister too?
I did not. I bought that with my own money.
I really want you to accept it.
Thank you, Mr. Hong.
I'm sorry that's all I can give you.
That's the only ring I can afford right now.
It's fine. I prefer this to the ruby ring from before.
What do you think? Is it pretty?
It's really pretty.
Your hand is pretty, your face is pretty,
and so is your heart.
I know. You'll never find another woman like me.
There's no one like you.
What do you say...
we just get married?
There you go again.
Marriage isn't that easy a deal.
Why should it be so hard? We can just do it.
If only it were that easy.
If that's all you want to say, just get back to work.
Hello, Dal Ja.
Why are you here?
For a chat.
What's that ring?
Is it from Mr. Hong?
Yes. He bought it with money he'd saved up.
I just don't get it.
You returned a ruby ring and got that instead?
Tell me the truth. Don't you miss the ruby ring?
I don't, not one bit.
I prefer this to a ruby ring he stole.
It shows his affection.
I sometimes think you like him a lot.
I do like him.
Then why won't you marry him?
Just tie the knot.
He's from a prominent family.
The Taesan Noodle family.
So what about them?
They're one of Incheon's richest families...
and Mr. Jung will become a congressman one day.
Would they accept a cafe owner like me?
You think?
They'd throw a fuss if they found out we were dating.
Us getting married?
That would never happen.
Ms. Oh.
When I started working at a cafe at 18,
I gave up hopes of getting married.
It can't hurt to date men all my life...
and die a single old lady.
Here's a list of orphanages you can start to support.
Have a look.
I don't see why I should.
I'm sure you checked and selected the best.
This time Mr. Choi did the work instead.
I see.
Thank you so much for helping us out.
It's nothing. I'm glad I can help.
I shall have the board approve this list.
Mr. Jung, how are preparations for your campaign going?
There's a lot to do as I've never done this before.
Mr. Choi is a great help.
It must be great to have someone so reliable.
It is. How is your grandson?
He's doing well.
I noticed that Madam Cho didn't look too pleased.
Do you think she suspects us of something?
I doubt it's that.
She hasn't been looking well for a while and I asked.
I think it's personal.
A personal issue?
I think she's stressed about marrying off her grandson.
I heard rumors that he broke up with Chairman Han's granddaughter.
I see.
It's not about us, so don't worry.
Okay.
- I'm home. - Welcome home.
You're a bit late.
Yes. I had a lot of work to do.
Did you not see Soo In then?
I didn't get to, but we talked on the phone briefly.
I see.
Did she say anything in particular?
Like what?
If she didn't, that's fine.
Grandma, is something going on?
I sat up waiting for you for so long...
I'm tired now. I'm off to bed.
Grandma.
Break up with Soo In.
You and her cannot get married.
So please, break up with her.
I'd like to see you this evening if you're free.
I just have something to tell you.
What is it?
What's going on that I don't know about?
(Shinchon Boutique)
Auntie.
Hello, Ji Hoon.
What are you doing here?
I have something to tell you.
Can you wait a little while? It's almost lunchtime.
Okay. Don't worry about me.
Shall we go and get you a candy?
- Okay. - Wait here.
Oh, that.
I don't have her number.
I see. Do you have her address then?
No, I don't.
I swear she was hiding something from me.
(Shinchon Boutique)
Yoon Soo In.
Se Young.
It's been so long.
Four years now.
What?
Yes.
Mom.
