(Episode 17)
This is where I recently got...
rejected by you.
But even after you rejected me,
my feelings for you haven't really changed.
I was already used to liking you...
one-sidedly.
Mr. Cha.
My feelings for you haven't changed either.
I'd like to remain as just your employee.
How can there be a reason for turning someone down?
If you're not interested in someone, that's all there is to it.
I'm sorry.
But...
I can't accept it if there's another reason.
What do you mean?
I think you're used to pushing people away.
I know I promised you that I'd just be there for you quietly,
but I don't think I can keep my word.
I'll start again from this moment.
Hello.
I'll get going first.
If you turn left as soon as you leave the restaurant,
you'll find a collection area for these.
- Okay. I'll be right back. - All right.
My gosh, you're strong.
Please don't grimace like that.
In Sun went ahead and made a reservation here. I had no choice.
Do you hate this restaurant that much?
I like it here.
Go in. I want to have a smoke before heading in.
All right.
Hey, In Sun.
Yes, we just got here.
Of course. My husband is here too.
Yes. Where are you now?
I'll wait for you in the VIP room on the third floor.
Why does it have to be at Min Joon's restaurant?
What are you doing here again?
I had no choice but to come here.
Treat me like any other customer.
Please leave.
- What? - I don't...
serve anyone just because they are customers.
How dare you talk to your dad like that?
Before you humiliate yourself in front of other customers, leave now.
What a disrespectful punk.
One day, you will be asking for my forgiveness.
This way.
Okay. Thank you.
Plate.
- Bring me the plate quickly. - Yes, sir.
Hey, dirty dishes are coming your way.
I'm getting them.
Today's new dish, gnocchi with clams and beef,
is a great hit.
It is. The customers love the dish.
Look at these. They licked the plates.
Oh, my. Is it becoming a popular dish already?
Hae Sung, you have a great start.
Thank you.
There's another order for gnocchi with clams and beef.
Goodness, Hae Sung. When you get the incentives, you're buying.
I will.
What's wrong? What is it?
Did you cut yourself?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Jung Won. How long have you been cooking? How can you cut yourself?
If you can't cook, go serve food in the hall.
How can you be so clumsy?
What are you doing? Get a grip.
Is the cut serious?
No, I'm okay.
Go and get that treated. If it's serious, go to the hospital.
Yes, sir.
Gosh.
What am I doing now?
Are you okay?
Hae Sung, empty the pot and hurry back.
Yes, sir. I'm coming.
I'm sorry for making you wait.
Goodness.
I should open my own yoga studio. Working for someone is such a pain.
Seriously. My owner pays me chicken feed,
but I have to do so many things. It's so annoying.
Did you have dinner?
I have a roll of gimbap.
Hey, isn't there a welcoming party for Hae Sung today?
Has it been cancelled?
No.
I didn't go.
Why? It's a welcoming party for Hae Sung.
- I love you - I love you
- Just like this feeling - Just like this feeling
- The longed end of wandering - The longed end of wandering
- In this world - In this world
- I leave behind sadness - I leave behind sadness
- Walking the many unexpected paths - Walking the many unexpected paths
- I follow a dim light - I follow a dim light
Make some noise!
What's the score?
Hey, everyone. Be quiet. Quiet down.
- Hey, Ji Soo. - Yes?
Didn't we have something to do today?
I think you're right.
I think we might've forgotten something. It feels weird.
Starting tomorrow, we're on a summer break. What's there to worry about?
Let's party!
- Let's party! - All right. Everyone!
Let's start the next song!
This is the restaurant for your welcoming party, right?
Yes, it is. You just asked me that.
Oh, right. I did.
Is this some kind of initiation?
There's no such thing.
Anyway, you must be hungry.
Why don't you press the bell?
No, I'm fine. I can wait.
It's just that I'm hungry.
I see.
Are they coming now?
Should I serve you 20 servings of pork belly meat?
Ma'am, serve us two servings for now, please.
You can skip his welcoming party?
Why didn't you go?
I don't feel comfortable around him.
What?
Hey, you were the one who was so happy that he got a job.
What's that? Did you get a cut on your hand?
Are you a beginner or what? You've been working there for years now.
Doesn't it hurt?
I seem foolish to you too, don't I?
Did something really happen?
I met...
a high school alumni at our restaurant.
She had a boyfriend.
But he died in a car accident in his last year of high school.
But the reason he got into...
a car accident and died was because of Jung Jung Won.
She was so shocked.
She cut all her ties with her close friends and doesn't see them now.
She works here.
Hey, who is she?
How dare she talk about you like that?
What's her name?
I don't know who she is.
So what else happened?
I was so happy about the fact that I got to meet Hae Sung again.
That's why I had forgotten everything.
If Hae Sung didn't die back then,
he would've turned 31 this year.
And just like Tae Hoon, Moon Sik, and Ho Bang,
he would've found a job by now and lived a normal life.
Hey, Hae Sung has a job now.
He also wouldn't have had to blame himself...
for his siblings' unhappiness and them living separately.
- If you think of it that way... - That's all because of me.
Jung Won.
I feel so sorry to...
look at him in the eyes.
I'm too ashamed to look at him with a smile on my face.
Hey.
Everyone has their own fate in life.
Let's just think of that as Hae Sung's fate.
What else can we do?
I'm the one who made that fate.
Hae Sung, congratulations on joining our restaurant.
Thank you.
But I think I've heard that comment about 100 times today.
Are you tired of it?
Then let me tell you something new.
Okay. Thank you.
I like...
Jung Won a lot.
Pardon?
I really like your cousin.
You can tell her.
It's not a secret.
Why do you like her?
Because she's pretty.
I don't think she's that pretty.
What's so pretty about her?
- Everything. - "Everything"?
She looks pretty when she pours water.
She looks pretty when she opens the door.
She also looks pretty when she says, "Thank you."
I like everything about her.
Anyway, she's the prettiest woman I've ever seen.
Excuse me.
Did he drink too much?
Hae Sung.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
You seemed very tired,
so I just paid the bill and got out.
Let's stop drinking now and go home.
Okay, let's go.
You should always drink...
just the adequate amount.
Let's go.
Mr. Cha, why aren't you...
Why do I feel so happy?
It's because you drank alcohol.
No, I'm happy because I'm with you.
Pardon?
I think you're a bit drunk, Mr. Cha.
No, I'm not drunk at all.
Watch carefully.
Okay, Mr. Cha. I get it. Let's go now.
I'm sorry.
What was that?
- What? - "What"?
Why did you hit a passerby?
I'm sorry.
But why are you being so rude?
What did you say? "Rude"?
"Why"?
How dare you look at me straight in the eye?
Hae Sung, you should step back. It's dangerous.
Mr. Cha, let's just go.
Don't worry.
I recently punched someone for the first time,
and I found out that I'm quite strong.
I get it, Mr. Cha.
But let's just go.
It won't be safe, so just stay behind my back.
Did you used to be a gangster?
You're out of luck today.
You should get a few beatings.
Let's go.
- Let's leave. - I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
Let's go.
Okay.
I'll think of you as my younger brother.
- Pardon? - I may be your boss at work,
but just think of me as your older brother.
Okay.
In summer, watermelon salad is the best cure for a hangover.
Have some before you go home.
Okay, thank you.
Where did you learn how to cook?
I just pick up and follow what I see.
That means you're talented.
That's not something anyone can do.
Here, have a bowl.
Thank you.
Aren't you going to have any?
Oh, right. Wait here.
I started taking photos three years ago.
I never took photos before then.
Three years ago? That's when...
You're right.
That's when Jung Won started working at our restaurant.
Here, take this.
- Is this for me? - Yes.
It's a gift to celebrate and cheer you on...
for starting your career as a chef.
I'll get you kitchen knives when you become a proper chef.
You can have this for now.
Thank you.
I wonder if she's asleep.
Or is she not home yet?
She even missed the team dinner. Where did she go?
Jung Won, are you feeling sick?
You don't look well.
No, I'm fine.
I'm sorry to put you through all this.
Don't worry.
Let's get going. I'm okay.
Are you really going to be all right?
Yes.
Let's go, then.
Come on.
Who's texting at this hour?
Jin Joo.
I have a fever, and my head is spinning.
Can you pick up some medicine for me?
It sounds like Jung Won is really sick.
Who is it?
Jin Joo. What brings you here this early?
Come in. Come on in.
Jin Joo, sit here.
Where's Hae Sung?
Hey, Jin Joo.
Ho Bang, step out for a minute.
You want me to step out? This is my place.
- I know. - You want me to leave?
- Yes. - Then when should I come back?
When I tell you to come back in.
All right, okay.
I'll be outside.
What's the matter?
Gosh.
What's this about?
What did she prepare for me?
Goodness.
Take this.
What's this?
Medicine for Jung Won.
Jung Won? Is she sick?
It sounds like she's been sick all night.
I thought it'd be better if you drop it off for her.
Jin Joo, did something happen that I don't know of?
Well...
She said that an alumna came to the restaurant.
I think she heard that your accident...
happened because of her.
What?
Why would it be her fault?
There are people who think like that.
Jung Won is the one who thinks that way the most.
After you died,
she was devastated. You know that, right?
- Yes. - It has been happening since then.
She gets very sick like this once in a while.
There were times that she was bedridden for days.
It must've been hard for her to tell you these things.
But I must say, she's gotten much better since you came back.
That's what I think at least.
That must be why she's been avoiding me.
She missed the team dinner too.
I guess she couldn't face you.
That's obviously why she asked me...
to pick up the medicine when you live right here.
Can I go in now?
Yes, go ahead.
Get going.
- Bye. - Thanks.
Jin Joo. Jin Joo, when will you come back in...
Jin Joo. Jin Joo!
Jin Joo!
Jin Joo, is that you?
I'm sorry...
You're so sick. Why didn't you tell me?
I'm fine.
You're not fine at all.
You're burning up with a fever.
You should take medicine.
Can you get up?
Yes.
I took the pill, so I'll be fine now.
Get some sleep first.
Don't think about anything.
Are you feeling a bit better?
Yes.
Then shall we take a walk?
Sure.
(You're Korea's pride.)
Just a second, okay?
Here. You said this always makes you feel better.
With you,
there are so many things that I'm sorry for.
But because you're back...
in front of me like this,
I had forgotten all about them.
I am back.
I'm right in front of you like this.
You can forget about them now.
I'm happy because of you.
Back then and even now,
that's what you are to me.
So please.
Forget all about them now.
You can do that, right?
Say yes.
Yes.
(Episode 18)
Why did you stop?
What's wrong?
Keep going.
All right.
Why do you keep doing that?
What's the matter?
Why do you keep trying to walk with me?
Goodness. I'm going the same way as you.
Then you go ahead.
Gosh...
Good night.
You too.
My gosh, I haven't seen you wearing blush in years.
Does it look weird?
No, not at all.
I'm just wondering what's going on with you.
You must have a date.
No, I don't.
Don't say that.
I want you to go on dates.
Don't make me tag along like last time.
You should be glad that I can take hints.
I told you it's not a date.
Why are you so torn?
You should wear...
You look the prettiest when you wear something white.
I'll be home after dinner.
Don't you worry. I'm going out on a date too.
With whom?
It's a secret.
Have a fun date with Tae Hoon.
I'm here because my mom begged me to meet you just once.
Let's say that you rejected me.
That'd be better for you, right?
She'll nag you if it's the other way around.
Yes.
I'm glad we're on the same page.
To tell you the truth, I'm seeing the doctor you met that day.
I'm pleased to meet you.
I'm Sung Young Jun from Cardiology.
I'm Cha Tae Hoon.
I see.
My mom can be overbearing.
You must be seeing someone too. Best of luck to you.
I'll get going, then.
Sure. Bye.
Young Jun.
Have you been waiting long?
No, I just got here too.
Did the talk go well?
I think he's seeing someone too. It didn't take long at all.
I did a good job, right?
Yes.
I want to get coffee.
- Wait in the car. - Okay.
- Tae Hoon. - Hey. It's been a while, Young Jun.
Can we talk for a minute?
I'm sorry I pretended I didn't know you at the hospital.
It's okay. I figured there must've been a reason.
Hey, I had no idea you'd be seeing Seo Won though.
To tell you the truth,
I've been lying to her about my family.
She thinks that I'm an only child from a decent family.
I see.
You don't need to worry about me anymore. Good luck.
Thanks.
Have you met Hae Sung?
Yes, I hang out with him often.
I should get going.
Young Jun.
Never mind. I'll see you around.
Who's that girl?
- Do I look cool today? - Yes, you do.
Hae Chul is on his way. I talked to him on my way here.
All right. Good.
By the way, you're getting prettier every time I see you, Soo Ji.
You have a good eye.
- Look at that. - Oh, no.
I left the windows open.
- I'll be right back. - Okay.
Kid, how old are you?
- Why do you ask? - Shouldn't you be studying...
instead of flirting with a guy?
What's her problem?
You're too young.
What is the matter with you?
The guy you were hitting on earlier.
- Who? - The one that went into this house.
He's mine, so stop throwing yourself at him and get lost.
My gosh, what?
Hae Chul.
Hey, Soo Ji.
Jung Won. You two have finally met.
- Soo Ji? - Jung Won?
Soo Ji. My gosh, you're all grown up now. I couldn't recognize you.
I let the heat wave get the best of me and said weird stuff.
I couldn't hear what you said because it's way too hot.
You've gotten so pretty.
Look at you. You look so gorgeous, Jung Won.
She has been always pretty.
- Don't you agree, Hae Sung? - What?
Yes.
Where are you guys off to?
We're having lunch together.
Jung Won, can I have lunch just with my brothers today?
Of course. Go ahead. Ask your brothers to buy you a nice meal.
- We'll get going now. - Okay.
I'll be back.
Let's go.
- Gosh, it's hot. - Come on.
What should we eat?
- I want cold noodles. - I want cold trotters.
Goodness, you're unbelievable.
- I like everything. - I do too.
Can you hold the elevator?
Tae Hoon.
I can carry it.
You have to get off work on time. I made a reservation.
But our store just got the new products.
I might be a bit late.
No, you can't be. Then I should do something about that.
No, don't do that. I'll take care of it.
I'm almost there. Let me have it.
No, you can't. I'm going to carry it for you.
It's all right. I'll carry it.
No.
- Let me carry it. - No, I don't want to.
Tae Hoon.
Who is she?
What?
You saw her uniform. She's an employee in one of our stores.
Why were you hugging an employee?
I was just carrying the mannequin because it looked heavy.
Don't be too nice to her.
She might get the wrong idea.
How did it go with Seo Won today?
I'm not going to see her again.
Why?
I just don't like her.
Why are you acting up again?
Dad! You're here.
- What is it? - You...
and your son always have your way.
You are trying to frustrate me, aren't you?
- Sorry? - Your dad...
left me at the restaurant alone.
Where are we going?
What is this?
You prepared what I asked for, didn't you?
I did, but what is all this?
Where are we going? You have to tell me.
We are going to do some things that could be a little embarrassing.
Don't say a word. Just go along with this, please?
So tell me what it is.
We're on a tight schedule. Let's go. Let me carry this.
Hey, you're really not going to tell me?
Where are we going?
Just come.
Come on. Tell me.
All right. This is spring!
Aren't you going to tell me?
You're starting to make me mad.
It's hot.
You brought your spring clothes, right?
Get changed, and let's meet here.
We're going to take spring photos with flowers in the background.
Why?
Today will be like a year. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
If we're going to take photos for all the seasons, we don't have time.
Let's get changed, and meet here quickly.
But don't you think this is a bit weird?
No, I need to have photos of you and me from all four seasons too.
You too?
- Who else has photos of me? - What?
No, I just meant me. I want to have those photos with you.
I'm asking you for a favor. Can you please play along?
Okay. I will then.
Thank you. I'll see you soon.
I did try to brace myself for this,
but this still makes me embarrassed. What should I do?
Here? Is this okay?
That's good.
You're pretty.
Hey, stop it.
(Self-timer, 10 seconds)
- It's done. - It's done.
I wonder how it'll look.
Goodness. This does look like it's spring in the photo.
I told you so. It's spring, isn't it?
It is indeed.
Hey, we can con everyone with this.
That's what we're doing now.
We are a group of two con artists.
Hey, Where will we take the summer photo?
- Summer? - Yes.
It's all done. Autumn is the season for the autumn leaves...
And for reading.
Goodness, it's autumn now.
- Really? - Yes.
It's working.
- Hold on. - Why? What is it?
Hurry.
For autumn, we need the leaves.
- It's all set. - Do I look pretty?
Yes.
All right. Here we go.
All right.
Ta-da.
- It came out nicely. - Oh, my.
It really came out nicely.
- We should clean up. - We should.
Gosh, I'm so cold.
You must be tired.
I don't think I can do this twice.
I know. Thank you, and you did well today.
Here you go. These are the good ones.
They are for me?
Of course. I took them for you to keep them.
Put them on the refrigerator. Okay?
- Go inside. - You too.
Ms. Jung.
I'm sorry to have called you so suddenly.
Don't be.
I thought I should tell you before I go to work.
So that's why I'm here.
It's about what I said two days ago, isn't it?
I wasn't expecting an answer.
When I told you how I felt, it was only done from my perspective.
Yes, I know. That's how I understood it too.
I thought I should tell you how I feel from my perspective too.
I like someone else.
I'm not making this up as a way to reject you.
I hope you will understand.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. Don't be sorry.
I'll see you at the restaurant.
Should I give her more time?
Hae Sung.
You know the list of people who worked in Chungho Foundation...
and the department store?
I found this out when I was calling the people on the list.
Why? Is there something?
This week,
there's a night event for people of Chungho.
A night event?
I heard important figures from Chungho...
and every personnel of the foundation will attend.
It will be held at Summit Center.
Then the real culprit might attend too.
That's right. As soon as the culprit shows up, I'll catch him.
Plus, it's going to be held indoors.
I need to go there before the pain completely disappears.
But...
we can't go in.
Why not?
The invitation only gets sent to the members.
Apparently, you can't get in without an invitation.
We can't get in without an invitation?
No, we can't.
What else can we do?
The chairman of Chungho Foundation is Tae Hoon's dad.
Are you going to ask Tae Hoon to get you an invitation?
If it's a social gathering,
they'll most likely have to eat.
A catering service?
It's like a buffet, right?
Yes.
I'm sorry, but I'd really appreciate it if you helped me out a bit.
My gosh, you're already doing sales for your restaurant.
You don't need to do it if I'm asking for too much.
Just a second.
Hello?
I'd like to talk to the executive secretary of Chungho Foundation.
Yes, I'm Cha Tae Hoon.
Okay.
They might've already chosen a catering company,
but let me check for sure.
Hello.
Have you already chosen a catering company for the upcoming event?
Oh, really? That's great.
Would it be okay if I recommended a place for you?
Hi.
I need to check the CCTV video of the lobby.
Okay, sir.
- Rewind it for me. - Yes, sir.
Yes, right there. Stop the video right there.
Please zoom in.
Can you print that out for me?
Yes, sir.
My goodness. How is he...
here?
You called to reserve our catering service?
Yes, go ahead.
100 servings for Chungho Foundation?
When's the date of the event?
Chungho Foundation?
Yes.
Is there a problem?
No. Please handle everything with the sous-chef.
Okay.
Everybody, listen up.
We're scheduled to go on a catering service for Chungho Foundation.
How many people are going to go?
Jung Won, do you think we're going on a picnic?
But it'll still be nice to work outside...
and meet new people.
Are you taking her side right now?
In Mo can go to the event from the cooking team.
- Okay. - As for the assistant team...
Jung Won, Ji Soo, and Hae Sung.
One of you guys can choose to go.
- I'll... - I'll go.
Why don't you guys do a one-legged fight?
We always choose with that.
No, it's okay. I don't want to take it that far.
Jung Won can go.
Thank you, Ji Soo.
Wait.
Why are you leaving me out?
You're right.
Then you guys can do a one-legged fight.
Okay.
Hae Sung. You're not being serious right now, are you?
I'm sorry, Jung Won.
I must win.
My gosh.
You...
I went that far...
and barely got myself to go to that event.
Well, that means we've succeeded in taking the first step.
The culprit needs to be there.
Don't be too disappointed even if we fail to catch the culprit there.
Yes, of course.
But why do you suddenly want to watch a late-night movie?
I got free tickets.
This movie apparently has an unexpected ending.
Let's watch this and relax.
Okay.
You better not tell me the ending.
I haven't seen it either. And that'll ruin the whole movie.
Let's go.
How long will it take for us to get to the theater?
- I'm so looking forward to this. - Hae Sung.
Are you happy that you won?
Are you happy that you pushed me over and won?
Jung Won, I'm sorry.
But I really wanted to try going to a catering service.
Is that a good enough reason to throw me on the ground?
- Well... - Jung Won.
Try to be understanding.
I'll try talking some sense into him while we watch a movie.
What? You guys are going to the theater by yourselves?
My gosh, Hae Sung. You're really something.
Don't be mistaken.
It's because we got two free tickets.
Whatever. You guys are so mean.
- I'll see you later. - Keep your doors locked.
Let's go.
Hey, guys. The culprit of that movie is the next door neighbor's son.
The evidence is in the fishbowl.
- Hey! - Hey!
Hey, wait.
You can't just throw it away.
- I need more mushrooms. - Okay.
Sir, where should I put this?
Put it over there for now.
Okay.
This is the last one.
You were so desperate to go.
Do you suddenly feel nervous now?
There's nothing to it.
Just don't rush yourself.
Okay. Everything will go well.
- Have you forgiven me now? - No.
I'm going to hold a grudge for the one-legged fight for a month.
What do you want me to do?
Don't you know that I'm headed to the foundation's social event?
Are you telling me to go to Singapore right now?
Okay.
Send my bag and passport to the airport.
Turn the car around, and take me to the airport.
Yes, sir.
(A Night in Celebration of Chungho, Organized by Chungho Foundation)
Are we done setting up all the food?
You just need to look out for empty trays.
Okay.
We have 20 minutes left.
- I'm going to go to the bathroom. - Okay.
Sir.
(A Night in Celebration of Chungho, Organized by Chungho Foundation)
As soon as the culprit shows up, I'll catch him.
Plus, it's going to be held indoors.
The pain keeps becoming weak,
so this really could be my last chance.
(A Night in Celebration of Chungho)
What are you doing?
Hey, Tae Hoon.
Where's Jung Won? She's not here?
No. The restaurant is open too.
I see.
Thanks for helping me out.
I should thank you.
Everyone is complimenting the food.
I'm glad to hear that.
Hey, Hae Sung. That uniform suits you so well.
- Does it? - Yes.
Sir.
Congressman Park arrived. He's in the VIP room now.
You should go say hello to him in person.
- The VIP room? - Yes, sir.
Sure, I'll do that.
You should get going, sir.
Don't work too hard.
(A Night in Celebration of Chungho, Organized by Chungho Foundation)
I don't feel any pain yet.
