Ms. Oh Dal Nim.
Please come outside. You got acquitted.
Really?
Am I really being released?
Yes. Ms. Koo Hye Ri also changed her testimony.
Chef.
You suffered way too much, Dal Nim.
But shouldn't we wait for the police to finish their investigation?
Even if she does get released,
it'll only be because of lack of evidence.
It won't be enough to prove that she's innocent.
The others are worried that anything like this could happen again.
They're full of concern and distrust.
It's only natural for them to feel uneasy.
Ms. Oh Dal Nim has been continuously causing trouble lately.
I think you should fire her...
before anything gets worse.
There's a saying that says,
"Hate the sin, not the person."
But it's also wrong to ignore what the other employees think.
I think you should listen to the other employees.
I agree, Mom.
If that's what they want,
then let's...
Hey, Chef Jung. What brings you here?
I came to tell something to the chairwoman.
Is that so? Come here and sit down.
What is it that you want to tell me?
I heard that the other employees signed a petition.
We were just talking about that right now.
We think it's only right for us to do as they want.
Ms. Oh Dal Nim got acquitted.
Are you serious?
The homeless man confessed that he's the one who stole the ring.
The witness also changed her testimony.
Then does that mean Ms. Oh Dal Nim is innocent?
Yes, it turns out she did nothing wrong.
So don't you think it's right for you to ignore that petition?
- But... - Chef Jung is right.
I understand what they want,
but it's not right to accuse...
an innocent person.
Please take care of the petition as invalid.
Okay. I will.
Ms. Oh Dal Nim must be very happy...
to have such a passionate body guard like you by her side.
Are you being sarcastic?
Of course not. Don't take it the wrong way.
I only said that because I was envious.
Did the homeless man tell you anything else?
Like what?
Do you feel guilty about something?
Go and ask Ms. Ma about...
why Ms. Koo had to change her testimony.
I'm going to let go of this here.
But I'm not going to go easy on you in the future.
Sun Ho, what are you doing here?
I'm here to see the chairwoman.
I heard the employees signed a petition.
Is that why you're here?
What happened to Ms. Oh?
She got released.
The petition is going to be invalid.
Okay. I'm glad.
- I'm going to go. - Okay.
Are you seriously glad that she got released?
Why are you looking out for Ms. Oh?
Why are you and Jae Wook...
Don't get the wrong idea. I just need her help...
for something I need to do.
Something you need to do?
Is there something else...
other than looking into that paper company?
Hello, Chef Jung.
What brings you to the company?
I came because of Ms. Oh Dal Nim.
I heard that...
she's getting investigated for theft.
I guess you haven't heard yet.
She got acquitted.
Oh, I see.
What are you doing here?
Aren't you Chef Jung?
He's Mr. Park. He works in the legal team.
I see. Hello.
It's nice to meet you. I'm your fan.
You should bring him to the restaurant someday.
Everyone's already paid a visit.
But you didn't even come to the opening event.
Do you have a reason...
for not coming to our restaurant?
I have no reason not to go there.
I was just busy until now. I should definitely go soon.
Please make sure you visit. Bye, then.
We should take care of things when we have the chance.
- What about today? - What about it?
He just invited us to his restaurant.
Let's have a team dinner there.
Why bother? Let's just go to a nearby barbecue place.
Your mom's the owner of that restaurant.
If your mom's the owner,
you should go there at least once.
We should go.
She should be here by now.
My goodness.
What are you doing with a block of tofu?
You signed a meaningless petition. Aren't you embarrassed?
Why would I be embarrassed?
You accused an innocent person.
No one knows for sure if she's innocent or not.
She only got released because of lack of evidence.
Whatever. You're full of nonsense.
What?
Welcome back, Dal Nim. You must've suffered a lot.
Eat this.
Thank you.
Dal Nim, you must be tired. You should take some rest.
No, it's okay. You must've been busy because I was away.
You should do as he says.
Let's eat first. Wait for me in my office.
I just did what that team manager told me to do.
Regardless of what happened, congratulations on getting released.
I'm sure you wanted me to return to prison.
You must be disappointed that things didn't go your way.
My gosh, who told you that?
You're so negative.
There wouldn't have been a misunderstanding...
if he told the truth from the start.
Exactly. I wonder why he lied.
But I'm relieved.
Because he told the truth,
I won't have to go back to prison.
Don't blame him too much.
I'm sure he had his reasons for doing what he did.
My mom decided to forgive him,
so we asked the police to handle things on a moderate level.
Really?
Good for you.
I decided to be nice...
because he seemed pitiful.
- Eat up. - You should eat too.
I already ate. You should eat.
Sun Ho.
I have something to say to Ms. Oh.
Oh, okay. Go ahead.
Take your time and eat.
I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of your meal.
What do you need to say to me?
Here.
Why are you giving me this?
You're the one who made this for me.
- Thank you for... - Did you come all the way here...
to tell me that?
To be honest, I have a favor to ask of you.
Please visit Mr. Kang with me.
Mr. Kang?
We have a problem at the warehouse,
but he refuses to deliver anything to Choigo Foods.
That's why I need your help.
Can you please visit him with me?
He won't be able to refuse your request.
No.
Why would I do you any favors?
Well...
Do I need to do anything you ask me to...
because you think of me as a sinner?
If that's what you thought, you thought wrong.
I'm going to go now. I'm busy.
Wait, Ms. Oh.
What do you think?
Ms. Oh got dragged to the police,
and now, she got acquitted.
I'm asking what you think of that.
What's your point?
Dal Nim got wrongly accused.
This isn't the first time. It also happened four years ago.
Don't you think you're jumping to conclusions?
This isn't the same as what happened back then.
No, it's not different.
It's only the name of the crime that's different.
The fact that she got wrongly accused stays the same.
People tend to only see what they want,
and believe only what they want to believe.
What are you trying to say?
I'm saying whatever you think is true...
may end up being a lie.
The truth already got uncovered back then.
The results of what happened is the truth.
I'm done talking. I'm going to leave now.
Hye Ri.
Yes?
I won't ask you why you did that.
I already know that Ms. Hong asked you to do it.
What do you mean?
You're wrong. I'm the one who was mistaken.
I testified that I saw the wrong thing.
You were mistaken?
What do you wish to hear from me?
You got released. Isn't that what's important?
Is that all you have to say to me?
Then what?
Do you want me to apologize for a small mistake?
Hye Ri.
What's the matter?
Why? Did she say something mean to you again?
No.
Welcome.
What are you doing here, Se Kang?
What if Dal Nim sees you?
I didn't come here because I want to.
Hello.
He's Mr. Park.
Our team came here for a team dinner.
Welcome.
Dal Nim.
Please help me make a special menu.
"A special menu"?
The legal team of Choigo Foods are having a team dinner here.
Don't you think we should welcome them?
Are you here to eat, Uncle Se Kang?
Yes, I came with my team for a team dinner.
Have you been doing well?
It's been so long. You should join us if you haven't eaten yet.
No, it's okay.
Come here and sit down.
Okay.
I heard that the food here is very delicious.
I also heard another rumor.
One of the employees is an ex-convict who committed murder.
And she was brazen enough to...
steal the owner's diamond ring.
Why are you serving the food?
You should ask someone else to do it.
I got orders from Chef Jung.
He made this special menu just for the legal team.
He wanted me to serve the food myself.
Thank you.
Before you eat,
I have something to tell you.
I heard you talk about me earlier.
I'm the one who got acquitted after getting accused of stealing a ring.
I didn't steal the ring.
It may have just been a stolen ring for someone,
but for me, I got my whole life stolen because of that.
Why are you saying that in front of the customers?
I just wanted to get rid of your misunderstandings.
But I'm sorry if I bothered you.
Enjoy.
This tastes great.
Why aren't you eating, Mr. Hong?
Do you think I put poison inside or something?
What are you talking about?
You're good at making jokes.
Do you know each other?
Oh, yes. She's Ruby's fan.
Thank you for the braised short ribs.
And thank you again for the air fresheners.
I was only trying to be funny.
We only used fresh and healthy ingredients.
Please enjoy.
Enjoy your meal while it's hot.
What are you doing right now?
Did you plan on humiliating Se Kang in front of all those people?
What do you mean? What did I even do?
What?
I was only joking.
Why are you overreacting?
Do you think I'd really put poison inside his food?
What?
Do you think...
you're capable of hiding everything from me?
If you're going to try and send me to prison again,
you better be careful not to get caught.
How dare you say that?
And if you have anything to say to me,
please do so outside of working hours.
You already know how busy I am.
You're bothering me with work.
I'll be off then.
My goodness. My gosh, I have a headache.
Do you like the food?
Yes, thanks to you.
Please tell me if you need anything.
I have something to say to you. Can we talk in private?
Excuse me.
Okay.
What do you need to tell me?
I'll go visit Mr. Kang with you.
But only on one condition.
I should gain something from this too.
What do you want?
I'll tell you after we successfully take care of things.
What do you say? It's your call.
Fine. We have a deal.
Then let's go tomorrow since the restaurant isn't opening.
Okay.
Wait.
This is a different matter. But why...
Why did you act that way to my uncle earlier?
I told you that it was a joke.
It didn't seem like something you'd say to a customer...
unless you actually meant it.
What do you mean? I didn't mean it at all.
I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.
Gosh, I'm so angry.
Dal Nim must be out of her mind.
She was saying everything she wanted to...
with her eyes wide open in front of everyone.
Se Kang became pale and couldn't even say a thing.
I guess she wanted to show us that even a worm will turn.
It wasn't just a turn.
It felt like she was throwing a counterpunch.
It'll all be useless.
She'll only end up getting stepped on.
So don't be scared of her, and don't get angry.
Yes, you're right. She'll only end up hurting herself.
Yes, Mother.
Tomorrow? Yes, I have time.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
Was that Sun Ho's mom?
Yes. She invited me over for dinner tomorrow.
Really? I'm so happy for you.
I was upset the whole day because of Dal Nim,
but I guess it's not always going to be bad.
What should you get them for tomorrow?
Don't worry too much.
You always visited that place as a guest,
but tomorrow's different.
You've waited so long for this.
It's your first time visiting them as a future daughter-in-law.
We need to act accordingly.
Let's go to the department store and pick out some presents together.
Do you have something to say to me?
Well, I was wondering...
what you talked about with Ms. Oh Dal Nim earlier.
We talked about work.
Oh, I see.
But why do you ask?
It's nothing.
Why do you ask if it's nothing?
What?
You seem very bothered by her.
Oh, well...
I just don't feel comfortable to see Ruby treat her so nicely...
just because she's her fan.
I'm worried that she might harm her or something.
Ms. Oh has no reason to harm Aunt Ruby.
You never know. She's a famous celebrity.
She might use Ruby for fraud.
You know how gullible Ruby is.
She gets fooled so easily.
That's why I was bothered by her. There's no other reason.
- You should rest now. - Okay.
I knew something was weird,
but I didn't know Se Na would go that far.
The homeless man shouldn't have done that,
but I can't forgive her for using him.
I learned something through this incident.
I learned that you need power to be able to forgive somebody.
You need to be powerful to be forgiven...
and to forgive.
Like you said, I'm slowly going to gather evidence.
Okay. You should stay strong in situations like this.
By the way, aren't you hungry?
Do you want some cup noodles?
I figured eating at home would be better.
Thank you for the meal. You should eat too.
I'm so happy that I'm able to eat with you like this.
To be honest, I thought I'd never be able to get out of there again.
I was all alone in the holding cell.
I thought nobody would take my side.
I thought nobody would believe me...
just like how nobody believed me four years ago.
But then I looked back and found you.
Thanks to you,
I was able to get rid of my fears.
When you look back,
I'll always be there.
Regardless of what other people say,
I'll always take your side.
So don't be afraid.
The soup will get cold. You should hurry up and eat.
What are you going to do tomorrow? It's your day off.
I have to go somewhere with Mr. Choi Sun Ho.
- With Sun Ho? - Yes.
I'm home.
Where were you until now?
Were you with that woman, Dal Nim?
She must be really lucky.
She has someone like you to...
help her get released even after committing a crime.
Are you talking about the stolen ring incident?
She got released because she's innocent.
I didn't do anything.
She got released because of lack of evidence.
She's the only one who knows if she's guilty or not.
Dal Nim really didn't do it.
I know you'd like to believe so.
Mother, you don't know anything.
You're the one who doesn't know anything.
Everyone else knows...
how cunning and sneaky she is.
You're the only one who doesn't know that.
Do you even know who's responsible for what happened?
What do you mean?
Se Na fabricated everything and made Dal Nim become the culprit.
What?
Mom, I'm not going to back down.
I'll become stronger from now on.
Just wait and see.
("Stories About Flowers")
I have the same book.
("Coffee Essay for Beginners")
("Stories About Flowers")
(To Ms. Oh Dal Nim at Seoul Southern District Detention Center)
No way.
What are you doing here?
You said you were going to go to the market with Sun Ho.
Why did you come here?
Was it you, chef?
Dal Nim.
Why didn't you tell me?
I wasn't trying to fool you on purpose.
You thought it was from your mother,
so I thought I should just leave it that way.
I'm such a fool. I can't believe I didn't know.
I'm so sorry.
I did it to repay for...
what I received from your mother.
To be honest, I did it to make myself comfortable.
So you don't need to be sorry.
It helped me overcome my hardships at the detention center.
Thank you.
But what's that flowerpot?
I bought it at a flowerpot store on my way here.
Do you like it?
It's really pretty, just like someone I know.
You're not talking about me, are you?
I am.
Stop joking.
I'll go now. I need to go see Mr. Choi Sun Ho.
Okay, you should go.
I wasn't joking.
(Poongnyun Store)
- Where did he go? - Dal Nim.
- Mr. Kang! - When did you get here?
And why are you here again?
I came with him to tell you something.
Really? Then let's go inside.
You can come too.
(Poongnyun Store)
It's broken. What should we do about the heat?
It's okay. I've cooled down after drinking this.
Really?
So what do you want to tell me?
I came because I have a favor to as you.
Are you here because you need vegetables?
Yes.
- Here you go, sir. - What's this?
It's a delivery contract. Please read it and...
I don't even need to read it.
Mr. Kang.
Dal Nim, do you remember?
When my farm went bankrupt...
and my family had nowhere to go,
your mother took us in and helped us.
Of course, I remember.
Choigo Foods was the reason why...
my farm went bankrupt.
They swallow it if it's sweet, and they spit it out if it's bitter.
That's what his family is good at.
They just breached the contract unilaterally.
Thanks to that,
the Hyuns were able to earn money like pigs.
Are you talking about the CEO of Hyun Foods?
I don't care about their company's name.
What matters is that Choigo Foods killed us in order to save them.
Does that mean the contract was made unreasonably?
Isn't that obvious?
Go ask your grandmother if you're curious.
Mr. Kang, please calm your anger...
and help us just this once.
I'll take responsibility and make sure this gets taken care of.
And I'll make a fair and transparent contract...
so that no other farm will get harmed from now on.
So please trust me and...
How can I trust you?
Even your grandmother betrayed me.
And you're her grandson.
- Mr. Kang. - Dal Nim.
I know I should do you a favor...
if I think about all the help I've received from your mother.
But I just can't help you with this one.
I'm sorry, Dal Nim.
- Mr. Kang. - Be careful on your way back.
What should we do?
There's nothing else we can do. It doesn't seem like he'll give in.
What are you doing? Let's go.
Go where?
We should go after we do our jobs.
My gosh, my back.
Clean up thoroughly.
Okay.
But why am I doing this anyway?
And when you're done cleaning,
please go to the electronics store and fix that electric fan.
I'll try to fix it.
I can fix it myself if it isn't anything serious.
Really?
What do you take me for?
Do you really know how to fix this?
Are you sure you're not making things worse?
Stop bothering me if you don't know anything.
Okay, there we go. Give me that.
There.
I guess you really do know how to do something.
What do you take me for?
You made me work today, so buy me a meal.
Okay.
- I'm here, Mother. - Welcome.
My mom wanted me to give you this.
They're abalones and ginseng.
My goodness, these are worth so much.
- Please thank her for me. - Okay.
Mom, Se Na's here.
- Hello, Ms. Cha. - I'm glad you're here.
But where's Sun Ho? Did he go somewhere?
He should be here by now.
- Ruby, please give him a call. - Okay.
Speak of the devil.
Sun Ho, you're here.
I'm home.
You came at the right time. Se Na just got here too.
Hey.
Wash yourself...
- and come down for dinner. - Okay.
- I'll help you. - There's nothing to help me with.
I already prepared everything.
Let's go.
Eun Jung cooked something special for you.
- You can look forward to it. - "Something special"?
Mom, you should eat first.
Okay, let's eat.
I hope you like it. Eat up.
Okay. Thank you for the meal.
These aren't your ordinary black bean noodles.
She made everything herself including...
the noodles and the sauce.
You can have as much as you want. She made more than enough.
- Eat up. - Okay.
What's wrong? Does it taste bad?
No, that's not it.
Then why aren't you eating?
You haven't eaten a single bite.
To be honest, the one thing I can't eat are black bean noodles.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I know you made this especially for me.
What do you mean?
I thought this was your favorite dish.
It's a bit embarrassing to tell you this.
When I was young, our family struggled financially.
So Se Kang and I had to...
always share one bowl of black bean noodles.
Yes, we already heard about that.
It was so heartbreaking.
That's why we prepared this menu.
We were really immature, so we tried to eat more than each other.
And one day, I ended up having a really bad stomachache.
That's when I stopped eating black bean noodles.
What? Was that why you didn't eat them when you were young?
Hey, are you serious?
I thought you were being considerate so that I could have more.
Look at me.
You're eating like a kid.
My gosh.
Honey, I have sauce on my lips too.
My goodness gracious.
Anyway, if you can't eat black bean noodles,
I wonder what I should give you for dinner.
No, it's okay. I'll just have the sweet and sour pork.
My goodness, this sweet and sour pork tastes amazing.
How did you make this?
I didn't have enough time to cook this,
so I just ordered some from a home shopping channel.
"A home shopping channel"?
Mother, the thing is...
Is this the only thing you bought from there?
Yes, of course. I didn't buy anything else.
I want you to come to my room with the household ledger...
after we're done eating.
Okay, Mother.
Mother, do you write household ledgers?
That's not all.
My mom also regularly checks the state of the refrigerator.
You'll also have to write a household ledger...
once you become our family.
Why? Do you think it'll be too much?
No, of course not.
Sun Ho, why are you so quiet?
It's nothing.
Sun Ho, here. Try this.
No, it's okay. You can have it.
My gosh. You're embarrassing her.
Just eat it for her sake.
I'm going to go upstairs now.
Why?
Don't care about me and keep eating.
My gosh.
You should continue eating. I'll go check on him.
How does he expect us to not care when he's being...
indifferent to our guest?
Don't worry too much.
He's only being like that because he's confused.
Things will get better with time.
She's right. The noodles won't taste good if they become soggy.
Let's hurry up and eat.
Did you really have to act that way in front of everyone?
The chairwoman invited me over to your house today as a guest.
Today's my first official visit.
I'm not asking you to care about my feelings.
I'm just asking you to care about your parents and grandmother.
I'm just really tired today.
I also have some stuff to think about.
Are you talking about the delivery problem?
It's not only that. I actually went to the market today with Ms. Oh...
because there's a problem at the warehouse.
With Ms. Oh Dal Nim?
Why did you go with her?
It just happened.
Did you get this from Ms. Oh?
Yes, I did.
Why would she give this to you?
She just gave it to me as a gift.
And you just decided to take it?
It's weird that she gave it to you,
but it's more weird that you'd just take it without questioning it.
It's not weird. What are you talking about?
Think about it.
You and Ms. Oh aren't close enough...
to exchange gifts with each other.
You're in no relationship to go to the market with her either.
I had my own reasons.
And regardless of whether we're close or not,
it's never a problem to go with her if it's for work.
(Sweet Enemy)
Did you order the homeless man...
to frame Oh Dal Nim?
I won't stand still either.
What do you plan to do then?
I'm the one who gave orders to cancel the contract.
(Sweet Enemy)
