(Episode 20)
What? Did I just get stood up?
No way.
Your boss probably misheard you.
Not at all.
I clearly told him that I'd wait in the kitchen,
and he even nodded.
It does sound serious.
I was talking to him, but he neither turned around...
nor looked at me.
That's when I knew something was up.
Gosh, he seems like a cool guy, but he sure holds grudges.
Does that mean he stood you up intentionally?
What else can it be?
Hey, that's nothing.
My manager once told me to get off the car...
on a highway in the mountains, and I waited for him all night.
Do you know how scary things look at night?
You know what? I'd desert you too if I were your manager.
Anyhow, I'm sure your boss didn't do it intentionally.
There must've been a misunderstanding.
I don't even know.
Am I the weird one?
Gosh, whatever.
Moon Sik.
It's about time you know how to take hints.
Shall I lecture you again?
Jung Won has it so easy at work.
Seriously!
Mr. Cha, I was so surprised at the sashimi place.
See? I told you that you'd be surprised.
Anyway, thank you so much for the food.
I'll give it to you for 12 dollars.
It's such a great deal.
- Your love wish will come true. - Thank you.
- You're welcome. - "A magical bracelet..."
"that makes your love wishes come true"?
Thanks to this, I'm getting married next month.
Gosh, really?
It's a trick to sell those bracelets.
You have to wear the same one.
You think so?
The energy from this makes the love grow between each other.
I need to use the washroom.
- Sure. - It's so popular now...
all over the world.
Hold on, please. This is where it starts.
The energy radiates from the inside.
This is really...
- We'll get two... - You don't believe me?
- if you give us two dollars off. - I can't do that.
Sir, I'd like to get this.
Just a second, please.
I need to buy it quickly. How much is this?
He must like someone.
It's 10 dollars. Just a moment, please.
- Please hurry. - All right.
- Quickly, please! - Here.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Your love... Gosh.
Hae Sung.
Yes.
Did you buy the bracelet that makes your loves wishes come true?
No. By the way, didn't you say you were going to the washroom?
Yes, but I'll go later.
Sorry? How can you hold it?
I can.
Then I'll use the washroom quickly.
- All right. Go on. - Okay.
Actually, I do have something to tell you.
I told Ms. Jung how I feel about her.
You... You professed your feelings to her?
But she rejected me.
I'm going to wait though.
Why are you telling me this by the way?
I don't know.
For some strange reason, I want to tell you everything on my mind.
Shall we get going?
Excuse me. How much is this?
It's 10 dollars.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
All right. Here it is.
Thank you.
Your love wish will come true!
Jung Won, it's us!
Yes. Come in, guys.
Gosh, you two see each other at work,
then at home too. You guys are glued together all day long.
We don't even have time to chat at work.
You visited our suppliers during your break today, right?
Wasn't it so hot in the day?
Oh, right. I saw Young Jun earlier today.
Young Jun?
Yes, he was with Tae Hoon's father.
Really?
How long have they known each other?
They seemed pretty close.
Young Jun is a doctor at a big hospital,
so it's nothing strange that he has connections like him.
- That's true. - All right.
Let's drink. This will cool us down.
- Cheers. - Cheers!
- We got through another day. - Indeed.
Hae Sung, I'll wash up first.
Sure, go ahead.
Hey, Hae Sung.
Isn't this yours?
Yes, it is. Thanks.
Don't lose it. It's a cool bracelet.
It's nice.
He gave me a broken one. I should get it exchanged quickly.
I'm telling you. It's been approved by NASA.
Does it relieve joint pain too?
Of course. Sure thing.
- Is it really good? - Yes, it's...
- My gosh, this is... - What else is it good for?
No more joint pain.
These beads have magical powers.
These beads will get rid of your joint pain.
Sir, you said to me that they make love wishes come true.
There's no refund.
Gosh, my knee is killing me.
Goodness. I hurt my knee while trying to catch a pickpocket.
It's seriously so painful.
Ho Bang, you should wear this.
What is it?
Apparently, it works like magic on joint pain. It's approved by NASA.
Seriously?
- Hey, thanks for this. - No problem.
My gosh, NASA?
What is NASA?
Oh, that place in the US.
Min Joon...
This little...
So Hae Sung...
works at Min Joon's restaurant?
Yes.
What kind of ruse...
are they cooking up?
Aunt, I've been waiting for your call.
How's Australia? You arrived safely, right?
Yes, I'm doing fine.
Min Joon, I have a favor to ask you.
I'm getting a bad feeling because I keep seeing your uncle in my dreams.
Can you visit the columbarium to make sure everything is okay?
I'm sorry.
We're putting it up again because someone took it down yesterday.
Whoever that did it needs to be taught a lesson.
Please pull that side, so that it becomes taut.
Sure.
Great. I think it's good.
In front of Chungho High School 12 years ago?
(Seeking a witness of a car accident at Chungho High School 12 years ago)
Hae Chul!
Hey, Ji Won.
What happened to you?
Your number doesn't work. Did you get a new number?
I live in Seoul now. Sorry, it just happened.
Keep in touch.
Oh, right. I heard someone's been looking for you.
Me?
- Who is it? - I don't know who it is.
Visit the owner of the billiard club we used to go.
He'll tell you.
Have you been well?
You haven't changed much.
Do I look different now?
How are you doing these days?
I didn't know it was you.
I'm leaving.
What about Gong Joo?
Is she well?
Gong Joo?
Why are you asking about her?
Why? It's because I miss her.
You miss her now?
I'm her mom.
It's only natural that I miss her.
Where is she?
Just leave.
Let's go.
Gong Joo, did you miss me a lot?
Yes, I missed you so much.
I missed you so much too.
Dad.
Yes, Gong Joo.
What do you want to do today? We can do anything you want.
Yes! I can't wait.
Since it's hot, should we have strawberry shaved ice that you like?
Yes! I like strawberry shaved ice.
You do, don't you? Then what's my favorite shaved ice?
- It's red bean shaved ice. - That's correct!
What a cutie.
(Late Hwang Kwang Moon)
(Seeking a witness of a car accident at Chungho High School 12 years ago)
Uncle,
did you make me come here, so I can see that banner?
Min Joon,
give that to the deceased's family.
The deceased student had that with him.
I'm so sorry for that student who died because of me.
I asked your aunt to take care of it,
but she's so shocked that she can't get up.
Please do that for me.
Uncle, I was going to give that to the family on that day.
I was called in to my unit urgently.
I had to go back to the base.
After I got discharged, I went to their house, but it was empty.
So I couldn't give this to them.
But now,
I think I can.
Are you the one who put up the banner in Chungho?
- Make that neat. - Yes, sir.
Hae Sung.
Hey, Hae Sung.
What?
Yes?
There's a detective outside waiting for you.
A detective?
Ho Bang.
I...
May I step out for a moment?
You got a call?
Yes, I have to meet him first to find out if he's your witness...
and how much he knows.
But he could still give us a clue.
- Thank you, Ho Bang. - Hey, no problem.
Hae Chul did all the heavy lifting.
Don't expect too much from this though.
I was going to tell you at home.
We are going to meet up around here.
Okay. That's good.
I didn't think that we'd get a call so soon.
That's right. Who could it be?
Are you Detective Shin Ho Bang?
Yes, are you the one who called me?
- Yes. - Please take a seat.
This is my card.
The car accident was 12 years ago.
Why did you put up the banners?
Well... I'm just gathering evidence.
Wasn't the case closed already?
That's...
The victim who died in the car accident...
is my friend.
Oh, I see.
Are you a witness?
No, I'm sorry,
but the assailant was my uncle.
Your uncle?
Yes.
Then are you in contact with your aunt who went overseas?
How did you know that she left the country?
What is this about?
Well...
The truth is that Mr. Hwang wasn't the assailant.
There's suspicion someone else is the assailant.
I'm sorry. I'm not following you.
I'm telling you that someone else drove the car.
Are you certain?
Yes, I'm certain.
Who...
Then who is the real driver that caused...
the accident?
I'm not at liberty to discuss that.
I need your aunt's statement.
I have to know who the real culprit is...
for me to bring her back here.
The prime suspect is...
the chairman of Chungho Foundation.
Excuse me?
Mr. Cha's uncle was...
Mr. Hwang?
- It's all done. - Pass me that.
The truth is that Mr. Hwang wasn't the assailant.
There's suspicion someone else is the assailant.
- Plate. - Yes, chef.
Mr. Cha.
It was spaghetti with cream sauce, not tomato sauce.
I'll prepare it right away.
This is the second time Mr. Cha made this kind of mistake today.
Cook the spaghetti first.
I'll be in my office for a while.
Yes, sir.
All right. Let's hurry.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
I'm telling you that someone else drove the car.
The prime suspect is the chairman of Chungho Foundation.
Mr. Cha, you should go home for the day.
I'll take care of what goes on in the kitchen.
I think you should take some rest until tomorrow.
Okay. I'll take the day off tomorrow then.
Okay.
Here you go.
You said you have something to give to the victim's family.
Your friend had this with him when he got into the accident.
I'm finally getting the chance to give it back.
Is this really yours?
How...
How is this...
He said he's sorry for returning it late.
I need to go now. I'll see you at home.
Bye.
How much is this?
What are you doing here at this hour?
I suddenly missed you.
But I already took my makeup off.
I also have something to give you.
Something for me?
Yes.
Ta-da.
I took so much time and effort to pick this out for you.
Why? Don't you like it?
It looks like something you would've bought.
I like it. It's beautiful.
Then try it on.
- Right now? - Yes. You said it's beautiful.
I meant your heartfelt effort to get this for me is beautiful.
Give it to me.
How do I look?
You're really beautiful.
But from now on, I want you to ask me for permission...
whenever you need to buy something.
Hey.
Okay.
But still, thank you.
It's really pretty though.
- Really? - Yes.
Are you sure?
Hey, Aunt. It's me, Min Joon.
I have something to tell you.
(Two days later)
What are you doing here?
Who let you in here?
Get out right now.
Is there no one outside?
Should I report him to the police?
Nothing good will come out of making a scene.
It's not going to take long anyway.
I'm fine, so you can leave.
Yes, sir.
It won't take long.
Mr. Hwang's wife is on her way here.
What?
I knew you'd be shocked.
What are you planning to do?
The only thing left for you to do is to confess that you killed me.
You won't be able to...
ask for more evidence in front of Mr. Hwang's wife.
Min Joon.
Hi, Aunt. I'll take that.
It wasn't an easy flight, was it?
No, I'm fine. Let's go.
Are you sure you'll be okay?
I'm more worried about you than me.
He's still your father.
I can't forgive him...
for doing that to Uncle.
I'm sure he'll admit to what he did in front of me.
Fine, I admit it.
You do?
I'm the one...
who caused the accident.
It wasn't my driver.
I hit you with my car while I was driving.
Then I called my driver...
and asked him to take the blame for me.
How does that connect to Yang Kyung Chul's murder,
which I was wrongfully accused of?
Why did you...
hit me with your car in front of my school...
at that hour?
I know that has something to do with the murder case.
One thing I know for sure is that...
you're not...
the culprit.
Then...
I think there's something that...
you and I need to talk about before anyone else joins us.
"Something that..."
"you and I need to talk about"?
No one should hear about this.
Why not? Why can't other people hear about it?
You're not the culprit.
You just got falsely accused.
I know that better than anyone.
Stop beating around the bush!
You must be the one who framed me for the murder incident.
No.
You just got framed naturally.
The circumstantial evidence,
fingerprints, and evidence at the crime site...
were all pointing at you as the culprit.
The most crucial thing was that...
you couldn't deny that it wasn't you who killed him.
And that's because you were dead!
Then...
who's the culprit?
The culprit?
(Yoo Seung Woo's "Don't Worry" is available on music websites.)
(Reunited Worlds)
(He acts cool.)
I'm sorry.
(We love you, Cha Min Joon.)
(You have very strong chest muscles.)
Why did he laugh? I was trying hard not to laugh.
(It's an epic face slap!)
(She just slapped me for real.)
(No, it was method acting.)
My gosh.
(You little punk!)
(Jung Jung Won's dream is to become a rapper.)
I want to love you forever
