(Episode 93)
We meet again.
Why are you here?
Who's he?
Is he...
your son?
Yes, he's mine.
Is he?
I'd heard you were married.
You have a child too.
You look smart. What's your name?
Ji Hoon.
Ji Hoon? How old are you?
- Ji Hoon. - Yes, Mom?
Sorry, but I'm running late. I have to go.
Soo In.
You made it.
Why did you come here and not to the boutique?
I didn't want to disturb you. I ordered already.
Thanks. Ji Hoon, wasn't it too hot today?
It wasn't, Auntie.
That's good to hear.
Is something wrong?
No. Why?
You don't look too well. Did something happen on the way?
No, nothing happened.
Okay. You wanted to say something.
Yes. I'd like to rent a small store.
Somewhere I can stay with Ji Hoon.
Do you want to work?
Yes. I should.
Ji Hoon's growing up. You need to do something.
He's still young, so I can't work for someone else.
A store would work,
but I don't know where I should go.
How about selling imported goods?
It'll be too hard to start from scratch.
You could buy the store from someone who wants out.
That sounds like a plan.
If you're going to buy a store like that,
don't you think you'll need a lot of money?
I saved up a bit while working for Madam Cho.
I'll find a store I can afford.
Okay. I'm sure you'll find one that suits you perfectly.
I'll help when I can once you open.
Thanks, Jung In.
Yes, he's mine.
I'd heard you were married.
You have a child too.
You look smart. What's your name?
Ji Hoon.
Soo In has a son too.
Chungil Flour.
Seon Woo? It's me.
Hello, Father.
Can we meet up today?
I'm sorry, but I have too much work to do.
Do you?
Even if you do, I'm sure you can take a short break.
I don't think I'll be able to.
I know why you're like this.
Did Soo In and my wife tell you not to meet me?
Come on, let's meet up.
Forget what the women say. You and I can still talk.
Let's meet up.
Father.
Are you trying to make me upset?
Will you listen to the women and not me?
I'll deal with the women.
Spare me some time.
If you can't come over, I'll come to see you.
No, I'll come and see you.
Okay, see you there.
Thanks for coming.
I know you're busy. Sorry.
It's fine.
I got too frustrated dealing with...
my stubborn wife and daughter.
You're more sensible, so I wanted to talk to you.
I see.
First, I want to check what you're thinking.
You once told me that in order to marry Soo In,
you're even willing to cut ties with your grandmother.
Do you still feel the same?
Yes, I still do.
So, you mean, whatever happens,
regardless of the obstacle you face,
you will not change your mind.
Yes, that's it.
Good. If that's the case,
you must make a call.
Forget about your grandmother and go right ahead.
What? What do you mean by that?
Register your marriage first.
If you do that and register Soo In as your wife,
no one can stop you then.
I know what you're getting at.
But I can't do that.
Why can't you?
However much I love Soo In,
I don't want to get my way at the expense of upsetting her.
You're just as frustrating.
You'll never marry her at this rate.
Unless you do something like that,
Soo In and my wife will never give in,
even if the skies were to fall.
What? Why would you say that?
What? I meant...
I meant Soo In's not like me. She's incredibly stubborn.
She'll be hard to convince.
Soo In's already suffering because of me.
I can't make it worse.
It will take some time but I want to marry with everyone's blessing.
Leave it to me.
But...
(Incheon Cafe)
Will you go right back to Seoul?
No, I'll drop by to see a client while I'm here.
Okay. I won't waste any of your time.
Don't tell either woman that we met today.
Do you understand?
Yes, I do.
Goodbye, then.
Bye.
Honey.
What are you doing here?
Why did you meet up with Seon Woo again?
Why are you doing this?
What's so wrong about meeting my future son-in-law?
Don't make such a fuss.
What did you say?
Did you tell him about that?
Don't worry, I didn't.
Then what did you say?
I told him to marry Soo In right away.
I told him to register the marriage first,
but he refused, okay?
You can't tell him to do that.
Were you serious?
Yes. Considering the fight you and Soo In are putting up,
registering the marriage first is the only way out.
Will you keep this up?
Can you really not give up on Chungil Flour?
No, I can't. I won't give up.
Don't you think about Min Jae?
Why are you bringing him up now?
We had a child.
Min Jae was Soo In's brother and Seon Woo's too.
How could the two get married?
Min Jae isn't with us anymore.
How could you...
How could you say that?
I can't stand watching you do this.
If you won't stop, we should get divorced.
What are you talking about?
I can't live with you anymore.
Honey.
Remember this.
Even if we break up,
Soo In and Seon Woo will never marry.
Nothing you say can make Soo In marry him.
If you want to lose me and the kids,
do what you want.
What great timing. I have to make a delivery.
Okay, go ahead.
See you.
I can't stand watching you do this.
If you won't stop, we should get divorced.
Young Sun, did you really ask my brother for a divorce?
Yes.
You aren't serious, are you?
I'm not, but he won't listen to me.
I had to shock him to stop him.
You must've been so frustrated.
Well done. I'm sure Dong Chul got the message.
I hope he did, but I'm worried.
Don't worry too much. I'm sure he gave up.
He can't live without you.
You know that.
I found out which private investigator...
Mr. Kim hired.
- Did you? - Yes.
I did as you told me to...
and asked him to report that Madam Lee is dead.
Well done, Mr. Jang.
I don't like it that we have to go this far.
Mr. Kim would want more than anything...
to find his mother.
What else can we do?
Seon Woo's too distracted.
We have to make him give up so he can focus on work.
If he were to find out who his mother is...
I don't dare think how that would affect him.
Right.
If this is the best for him,
it must be done.
Hello?
Well? Did you find her?
I'm sorry. Lee Young Sun is dead.
Are you sure?
Is she dead?
Yes. She was reported killed during the war.
Okay. Thank you.
Are you better now?
Yes, I am. Thanks for looking after me.
Don't thank me.
It's only right for me to care for you.
Why did you want to see me?
- Mr. Hong. - What?
Let's get married.
What? What? Are you...
Will you really marry me?
Don't you want to?
Forget it, then.
Of course, I'd love to.
You won't change your mind later on, will you?
I won't.
Will you really marry me?
Under one condition.
What is it?
I'll do anything. Just say it.
Go back home.
What?
I want us to get married with pride, like everyone else.
I want everyone's blessing.
You need to go home and get permission.
Ms. Oh, I...
What? You can't do that?
No. No, I will do it.
I'll do whatever it takes to get permission.
Wait for me.
Okay. I'll trust you and wait, then.
Okay.
My goodness.
Man Pyo has lost his mind.
How could he forget our mom's memorial ceremony?
Have you heard from him yet?
No. He hasn't called.
He's such a moron.
I'm sure he had a reason.
What else could it be?
That foxy coffee-server has him wrapped around her finger.
I can't go to his workplace or home because of Soo In's dad.
How should I teach him a lesson?
- Hello. - Uncle.
Man Pyo.
Have you lost your mind?
Have you decided to come home?
Yes.
Did you two break up?
No.
Aren't you back because you two broke up?
That won't happen, so don't even dream of it.
Seol Hee said...
she'd accept my love.
- What? - I moved back in...
because she sent me back saying I shouldn't cause you worry.
She's putting sense into me.
You need to thank her for that.
This is unbelievable.
I'll do as she says and move back in so I can get...
everyone's permission to marry.
Stop it.
I need to unpack and settle back in.
See you.
He'll be the death of me.
Now I have a headache.
You're back.
Yes, I'm home.
You look rundown.
Is something wrong?
Grandma.
What?
I'm sorry.
What are you talking about?
I found out my mom's dead.
I didn't mean to give you a hard time.
I know you didn't.
I wished that she were alive.
I acted the way I did out of hope that she were.
I'm sorry. Forgive me for causing you pain.
I know how you feel.
You must be feeling terrible.
Get some rest.
Goodnight.
I'm sorry, Seon Woo.
I'm really sorry.
This is all I could do.
I hope you can forgive me.
Lee Young Sun is dead.
She was reported killed during the war.
Mom.
Isn't Man Pyo back? Is he still asleep?
I think he's up but he wasn't in his room.
Where could he be?
I saw him when I went out for a stroll.
He left for the factory early because the flour comes in today.
What? No way. You must've misheard him.
I didn't. That's what he said.
How else would I know the flour comes in today?
What's up with him?
I guess he decided to work hard.
Are things over with that women?
What? Oh, I guess so.
Why did he make such a big deal out it...
when it was to end like this?
Now that he decided to work harder than before...
and grow up a bit, can you treat him a little better?
All this is because he needs a partner.
I should find him someone sooner than later.
What? I don't think you need to do that.
You must be tired.
Working at the crack of dawn isn't for everyone.
You tried to start as late as possible on flour delivery day.
Why are you out so early today?
Are you trying to get on Mr. Jung's good side?
No. It's because Seol Hee...
told me to work hard.
Are you working this hard because she told you to?
Yes. She told me to work hard and persuade my family.
I'll become the man of the house when I get married.
If I'm to support and impress Seol Hee,
I need to work hard.
My goodness. You're finally growing up thanks to Ms. Oh.
All in the power of love.
Love is always patient and kind.
Wait, wait.
Aren't you Mr. Yoon?
You're the real estate agent.
I wasn't sure it was you. You weren't in a suit.
I'd been meaning to call you but we met here like this.
Why would you need to call me?
The three-floor shopping arcade you asked me about.
One in a great location is up for sale.
Forget about it.
Why? It's a great deal.
Sign the contract.
Something came up. I can't right now.
Sorry about that.
Did my brother say anything...
after he found out that Mr. Kim is your son?
No.
Good. At least he listens to you.
How is Soo In doing?
When I called, she told me she's looking to buy a small store.
A store?
She can't do much with a little boy in tow,
so she wants to run a store.
Does she have any money?
She'll need a lot to buy a store.
She must have some saved up.
She's looking for a store within her budget.
That sounds great. She must be quite stressed out.
Owning a store should do her some good.
What's this about Soo In owning a store?
She's looking for a store to run while caring for Ji Hoon.
Is she?
Do you want some soup?
You can have lunch while you're here.
Okay, I'll do that.
(Reporter Cha Jong Gil Missing)
Did you read the paper?
Yes.
Do you think it went wrong and we're in trouble?
Taesan Noodles.
What? The police?
Can I ask why you called?
It's about the missing reporter.
So, Reporter Cha called you...
and you talked to him.
Yes, that's it.
I found a Taesan Noodles entry in his notebook.
I assumed he'd placed a call.
What did he call you about?
He said he wanted to write about us.
But my CEO refused because he was too busy...
and I told him so.
Then did you never meet?
We did.
My CEO felt guilty about refusing the interview.
He told me to treat Mr. Cha to a meal.
We met up for lunch.
So you two met.
What did you talk about over lunch?
We weren't acquaintances and it was just a formal meal.
We didn't discuss anything memorable.
We just talked about Taesan Noodles.
I see.
I think that's all I can tell you.
Okay. Thanks for your cooperation.
Sure. I hope he shows up soon.
Right.
Soo In's going to buy a store?
That means she must have enough money to do so.
When did she save up so much?
That's right. I can do that instead.
Do what instead?
Nothing, nothing.
I have to go out.
Where to?
Where are we going, Mom?
You and I are going to look at stores.
I need you to come with me and tell me if you like the place.
- Can you do that? - Yes, Mom.
What a brat.
She's relying on her savings.
Let me see.
Let's see how you manage with a little boy and no money.
She can't do anything if she has no money.
She'll have to marry Mr. Kim then.
(Seoul Imported Goods)
What do you think? It's a great deal.
I think it's okay. What do you think?
It's the best one I saw today.
There's no reason to look further.
The location's great and the rent's quite cheap.
If you want it, take it before someone else does.
Okay, then. I'll come back today with the down payment.
You're making the right decision.
Come to my office with the money.
I will.
Thanks, Tae Soo. I thought it would take a while.
You found me a great deal.
Don't thank me.
Do you really want to manage a store instead of...
marrying Mr. Kim?
Yes. I'm going to do my best...
with this store for Ji Hoon's sake.
What happened? I think you've been robbed.
What is it? Is something missing?
My money and passbook are gone.
What?
Watch Ji Hoon for me.
I'll take it.
Hello, Yoon's Soup.
Soo In.
What? Your Dad?
Okay. Let me ask around.
Bye.
Was that Soo In?
Yes.
Why did she call?
I have to go and see Dong Chul.
What's wrong?
The provisional contract's signed.
Just two more payments...
and I'll own a three-floor building.
- Honey. - My goodness.
You were at Soo In's, weren't you?
You took her money and passbook, didn't you?
What? Well, you see...
Where's the money? Give it back right now.
It's gone. I spent it.
What? Where did you spend all that on?
I spent it to get a building.
What is wrong with you?
Soo In just wouldn't listen to me.
I realized she's playing hard to get because she has...
enough money to support herself.
She needs to lose all she has to regain some sense.
How could you?
That money...
How could you take her money?
I have a plan and a reason.
You just wait and see.
Honey.
- Give me that. - What for?
We need to get the money back...
and give it back to Soo In.
No way. I just signed this. We can't cancel it now.
You can't afford a building anyway.
That's just the down payment. What about the rest?
We don't have that much.
Why worry about that?
Chungil Flour's CEO will be our son-in-law.
- What? - Once Soo In marries him,
Mr. Kim will pay off the remainder.
That way, Soo In gets a husband and we get...
a building to rent out. It's a win-win.
How is this a win-win?
You're just feeding your greed.
Just a little of Seon Woo's money and we get a building.
Why are you against that?
I'm not saying it's for nothing.
We can rent out the units.
We can pay him back in no time.
What is the matter with you?
(Chungil Flour)
Madam Cho asked me to pass you these.
Thanks. Is she still in her office?
Yes. She's meeting the CEO of a supplier for dinner.
I have to drive her.
You're busy too.
How is Soo In doing these days?
Oh, Soo In...
Is something the matter?
No.
Just tell me. What's going on?
Her house was burgled this afternoon.
There was a burglar? Is she okay?
Was she or Ji Hoon hurt?
No, they weren't.
The burglar took her money while they were out.
Nothing you might worry about happened.
Okay.
Did Dad take the money...
to force me to get married?
I think so.
I didn't think he would go this far.
I'm sorry.
After all you did to save up.
Forget the money.
I'm more afraid that...
Dad just won't give up.
What should I do to stop him?
I just don't know.
Me neither.
I told him the truth thinking he'd give up...
when he found out.
What if Dad tells Mr. Kim what he knows?
I'm so afraid.
I didn't think he'd do this.
I thought he'd give up...
if he knew Seon Woo is my son.
He still wants to marry you two off.
I saw Ms. Yoon a while ago in Seoul.
What is her husband like?
Why would you ask me that?
Did you see Soo In?
What is Soo In's mother called?
I think it's Lee Young Sun.
Are Soo In and I siblings?
It can't be.
Neither my wife nor daughter are of any help.
I'll meet Mr. Kim and talk to him directly.
You can't do that.
