Episode 24
Why are you here?
Long time, no see.
Why are you here?
At this hour?
I live here.
Then...
What about the club?
I work there.
Then the owner of the room on second floor is...
You work here?
You're still don't want to see me, huh?
Yeah, I bet.
Do you want to go somewhere and talk for a second?
Give me a chance to explain-
No.
I have nothing to talk about with you.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna go.
Oh yeah, key.
I was supposed to leave it there.
Hello.
I'm Jung Kkot-nim, and I work as the ticket agent here.
Ticket agent?
Have you see the ticket stamp? If you find it, please bring it to the booth. Thank you.
This was you.
I didn't know you were so close by.
Mother, I'm home.
Mr. Kim came from the Incheon branch came.
Soo-chang.
How did you-
I didn't hear back from you.
So I brought another present.
Present?
Yes.
Something that you'll love.
Long time no see, Il-lan.
It's me, Seo Yeon-hee.
How did you-
So do you like my present?
No, mother.
I'm Seo Yeon-hee.
Not her, it's me.
What are you doing, Il-lan?
She's the real Seo Yeon-hee.
You're a fake.
No.
I'm the real one.
I'm the real one!
I can attest that you're the fake one.
You're not Seo Yeon-hee. You're Chun Il-lan.
The cheap girl who used to work at a bar!
No!
I'm Seo Yeon-hee.
I'm Seo Yeon-hee!
You heard Mr. Choi from Young-il group is celebrating his 70th birthday, right?
Yes, I prepared a present and money for him.
Mr. Choi is the white haired man who used to be nice to me when I was young, huh?
Yeah.
He really liked you.
Mr. Choi used to say he's going to take you to his company.
And you cried every time.
When did I do that?
Mom.
Yeah.
Did you say my name?
Are you sick?
You don't look too well.
And you're not eating well either.
No, I'm fine.
Is something wrong?
No.
I couldn't sleep well.
Don't worry.
You couldn't sleep?
That's because you're weak.
Eat up.
Yes, mother.
What?
Hye-ju came to visit you?
Yes.
She even made porridge
and acted so friendly.
I almost doubted she was really Ms. Seo's daughter.
I was right.
But why did she come?
Why do you think?
Why would a young lady visit an old lady at the hospital, saying "Mother, Mother?"
Not sure.
Maybe she's my fan.
It's not because of you.
It's because of Sun-ho.
Do you not get it?
What do you mean?
Oh my gosh, Sun-ho and Ms. Seo's daughter?
No way!
What are you talking about?
Ki-taek.
Yeah?
Hasn't it been a month since you started working?
Why aren't you getting paid?
Oh my.
You're scary.
Do you sit there and count the days I work?
Yes.
I'm about to die from waiting for so long.
I'll get it next Monday.
Hang in there.
What's the point though?
It goes to our shop's rent,
Do-chul's tuition,
and the loan sharks.
We fill our pockets for only a second.
Mom.
I'm gonna go to the theater.
Isn't today your day off?
I thought you're resting so I marinated the radish.
So we can make spicy radish.
I'm going to be right back. I'll do it when I come back.
Alright, hurry.
If we marinate it for too long, it'll get salty.
When do you get paid?
Is it not time yet?
Pay?
I think it's about time.
Why? Do you need money?
We have to make up for what your dad did.
I want to pay off those thieves so I can relax.
We can't have them barge in here again.
Don't worry, I'm getting paid soon too.
I'll pitch in as soon as I do.
Okay, tell them to hurry since it's almost time anyway.
There aren't that many days left.
Okay. See you later.
Do we need to take Kkot-nim's money too?
She already gave us her tuition.
Do you think I'm taking it because I want to?
Whose fault is this?
Let's tell Do-chul to take about a year off because we're in a tough situation-
What? Take a year off?
How will our family ever get out of this poor condition if not for Do-chul?
Why are you being so ridiculous?
Alright, alright!
I'm just worried, that's all.
Alright, alright. I'm going to work.
Gosh, that troublemaker!
Flower! Long time no see.
Where are you going?
To the theater.
Oh yeah.
I have something to ask you.
What?
What's going on between you and Mr. Lee at our club?
Mr. Lee?
You know last time, when you came to drop off my clothes
he grabbed your wrist and took you out.
He's the head of our club.
You didn't know?
Why do you ask?
What's going on between you two?
Are you two dating?
No way.
No, we're not.
Really?
That's weird.
Did he say something to you?
If he did, I wouldn't be asking you.
Tell me.
What's going on between you two?
Why is he paying off your dad's debt for him?
What are you talking about?
What?
He's paying off my dad's debt?
What are you talking about?
Isn't Jung Ki-taek your dad's name?
Mr. Lee postponed the deadline date
and paid off the interest too.
You didn't know?
Is... Is that true?
I was going to ask you about it, but you didn't know?
Hey, flower!
Flower!
What are you doing here?
What's going on?
Tell me what's going on.
Is it true that you were paying off my dad's debt?
Answer me. Is it true?
Who did you hear that from?
Why would you...
Why did you do it?
Why are you getting involved in my family's business?
You barge in and make a mess,
and now you're doing this? Why?
I just...
I just wanted to help.
Help?
Yes.
It's not a big deal to me.
That's why I'm helping.
Are you pitying me?
Think whatever you want to think.
You and your dad can't pay that off anyway.
So I-
I don't want pity from a gangster like you!
I'm going to pay it all off.
I'm going to do whatever I can to pay it off.
So mind your own business.
Okay?
Kkot-nim.
Didn't you say you're off today?
I had to put the key back.
Key?
The ticket booth key?
Yesterday-
I'm a little busy right now.
I'm gonna go.
Kkot-nim!
What's wrong with her?
Did something happen?
You better hurry if you don't want another present from me.
I have many gifts I want to give you.
I can attest that you're the fake one.
You're Chun Il-lan, not Seo Yeon-hee.
The cheap girl who used to work at a bar!
Yes.
It was my mistake for not getting rid of him earlier.
I should've kept him away somehow.
So you want us to take care of Lee Soo-chang?
You don't have to kill him.
Just kick him out so that he can't come into Seoul again.
That's easy to do.
What about the money?
Here.
I'll give you the rest when it's done.
I can't just trust you until it's done.
You're good.
Alright, you lure the fish in.
We'll do the catching.
And...
One more thing.
I want to find someone.
Is that possible too?
No way.
Sun-ho and Ms. Seo's daughter?
You're thinking about that again?
How dare she?
Who does she think she is?
Why?
She's pretty and smart.
She's even good at cooking too.
It's hard to find girls like that these days.
Porridge?
How should I know who made it?
She only used cheap ingredients too.
I don't like her.
I hate Ms. Seo enough as it is.
I don't need her daughter on top of that.
Why is that family all over the men in my family?
It's so annoying.
Did you call?
Yeah, sit down.
Your mom told me that
Hye-ju visited her at the hospital.
Yeah.
Did you meet with her?
She stopped by the theater after going to the hospital yesterday.
So did you thank her?
I ate dinner with her.
You should've eaten something expensive and nice.
Is this why you called me?
Yeah.
Take this and give this to her yourself today.
You're not supposed to give the empty containers by themselves,
so buy her something delicious too.
I told you.
We met yesterday.
Meet her again.
That's not hard to do.
And Hye-ju came yesterday.
This time you should go to her at her school.
Buy her food too.
I'm not comfortable with meeting her for no reason.
Why is there no reason?
Misung Bakery's Ms. Seo and her daughter both came to visit.
Do as I say, in place of me and your mom.
Don't make us look like impolite people.
Hey Kang-wook.
Hi, sir.
Did you tell her?
Pardon?
Tell her what?
That I'm paying off Jung Ki-taek's debt.
Did you tell that family?
No, I didn't.
Why do you ask?
Hey, Sunny Hong.
You told them, huh?
M-M-Me?
You said Jung Ki-taek is your landlord.
It was obviously you.
I was just-
I was just curious of your relationship with Flower
because you're paying off all the debt.
Why? Did Flower say something?
What's wrong?
I just asked if you two are dating.
Wait-
What did I do?
Shouldn't he thank me?
For what?
Flower found out because of me.
That Kang-wook was secretly helping Ki-taek
and that he's not a bad person.
Give up now.
That little kid did not seem easy.
And Misung Bakery's factory manager wouldn't fall for you anyway.
So just stop right here.
No, Choon-shim.
I can't give up when I haven't even started.
I'm telling you to give up because you haven't started yet.
Don't cry and scream at home again like last time.
How do you know if I'll end up smiling or crying?
You don't have to strip someone to know if they're a girl or a boy.
There are things in this world that have obvious answers.
Choon-shim!
I'm back.
You didn't go to work today?
You said you'll come right back, what took you so long?
Sorry, Mom.
I'll do it.
Why do you look like that?
Did something happen at the theater?
No, nothing happened.
Mom.
How much debt do we have left?
We still have a lot left, huh?
Yeah, we have a lot left.
The interest costs more than the original debt.
It's scary to even imagine how much it would be now.
Those guys won't come and make a mess again, right?
Don’t say that.
It's going to give me a heart attack.
Did you go ask the theater?
Can they pay you in advance?
Not yet. I'll ask tomorrow.
We don't have time for this.
I should go ask the fruit shop Mr. Jang.
To see if he can pay me in advance.
Take me with you.
I have to go to the office too.
Bye, Kkot-nim.
Why did you come to school?
Did you really come to meet me?
Here.
My dad told me to give this to you.
And to eat with you while I'm here.
Good thing I went to visit your mom.
Your parents must be on my side.
I said I'll buy you something good today.
This place is really good.
Follow me.
Welcome.
Hye-ju.
Sun-ho.
Kkot-nim.
Why are you-
Sun-ho said he'll buy me something good so I brought him here.
Aren't you proud of me?
It's your day off.
You work here?
Yeah, it's my mom's place.
I see.
Come on, sit down.
Kkot-nim, two soups please.
Okay.
Who is that?
Is that her boyfriend?
No, huh?
He looks like a fop, much uglier than Do-chul.
What about spicy radish?
It's should somewhere around here.
Mr. Choi's party was canceled?
Yeah.
It was supposed to be tomorrow night.
But he's not feeling well.
He didn't say anything about it this morning though.
I don't think it's anything serious.
But they had the restaurant reserved too.
Yeah..
I'll give him the gift later.
So don't worry about that.
Okay.
I have a good idea.
A great plan that will lure in Lee Soo-chang.
Please take care of it tomorrow.
I'll call him out.
What are you looking for?
I want two suits.
But they can't look cheap.
Show me something nice like the one you're wearing.
You must be celebrating something.
I'm gonna start working at a big company soon.
To meet people, I'll need some suits.
Oh, I see.
Can I ask which company?
Ever heard of Misung Bakery?
That big?
The director there is my little sis.
I see. No wonder.
How's this one?
This one is the most popular one in Sogong-dong too.
Sogong-dong?
The color is a little-
Really?
Then.
What about this one?
It makes me look too old.
You have a great style.
Hey.
I needed a few things now that I'll be working.
So I bought some stuff.
Why did you call me today?
Do you have good news to tell me?
I'm still working on it.
Then why are you calling me out? You should just do your job.
You think I have that much time?
That's why I asked to see you.
One of our business partners is Mr. Choi of Youngil Sugar.
Tomorrow is his 70th birthday.
He's really well-known in the industry
so I thought it'd be good if you get to know him.
Such a hassle.
Why would I go to an old man's birthday party?
You fool.
You think you can get a job for free?
You have to make connections like that
so you can win the heart of Mrs. Min.
If he gives some input to Mrs. Min,
everything is going to become easier.
Do you not understand?
Well, I guess you're right.
You're gonna come tomorrow, right?
It's here.
Be on time.
Seodaemun, gohaeng-ro, hyang-mun.
Hyang-mun?
I've never heard of this place before.
If you take the cab, it'll be quick.
I have a meeting so I'm going to be a little late.
So go and wait for me there.
Meeting?
You're not planning something weird, right?
If you don't want to go, forget it.
I don't want you to go anyway.
No.
I should go.
I'll go.
But what should I wear?
The suit I got won't be ready by tomorrow.
Thanks for the food, Kkot-nim.
Your soup is really the best.
Right? Isn't it amazing?
Yeah.
I bet you'll be tired going to work tomorrow after today.
No, I've been doing this for a while.
Let's go now.
We're making her more tired.
No, you're not.
Hey...
Why? Do you have something to say?
You know the person who lives on the second floor?
You said you're close to him, right?
Yeah, why?
Nothing, let's talk about it next time.
Get home safely, Hye-ju.
I had fun today.
I can't believe you came to the school to see me.
It's a historical moment.
I'll let my mom know.
That Joongang Theater's Mr. Park was kind to me.
What are you thinking about?
Oh, nothing.
Oh yeah.
Who was Kkot-nim asking about earlier?
Someone close to you?
It's someone staying at the theater.
He stays at the theater?
Are you really close to him?
Yeah.
He's my favorite.
He's like a real brother to me.
Really?
But why is he staying at the theater?
Is he an employee there?
Yeah, well...
I feel left out that you two know him and I don't.
When you get the chance, introduce me to him.
If he's like a real brother to you,
I want to meet him too.
Okay.
It's late.
You should go.
I'm gonna go too.
I don't want to go.
But if I hold you any longer, you won't like me, right?
I'm gonna go.
See you.
Sun-ho.
Kang-wook!
What's up?
Why did you come to see me?
I was in the area
and I thought of you.
You were?
Why?
I was meeting someone.
That theater employee?
That funny girl that made you like working at the theater.
I saw her too.
You had a date with her, huh?
No.
I got rejected by her.
Did you meet that girl again?
Yeah.
She was closer than I thought.
You know her too.
I know her?
Yeah.
She works at the theater.
I found out yesterday too.
She wrote me a note
and knocked on my door too.
She was so close by.
I wonder why I haven't ran into her before.
A note?
Then it's the girl...
Yeah.
The ticket booth girl.
That girl is the girl I like.
