[Episode 17]
Not too long ago, you rejected me at this very spot.
But nothing really changed for me...
even after you rejected me.
Because the fact that I had unrequited feelings for you...
stayed the same.
Boss.
My feelings are the same as they were before.
I'd like for us to be chef and assistant, nothing more.
Do you need a reason to turn someone down?
If you don't feel the same, then that's that.
I'm... sorry.
But I can't accept a reason like that.
"A reason like that?"
I think you're just pushing people away.
I promised you that I'd silently watch over you.
But I don't think I can keep that promise.
From this moment on, I'm going to start over.

Hello.
I'll head downstairs first.
As for these
if you leave through the front door and make a left
you'll see the collection area.
All right. I'll go there right now.
Okay, sure.
Wow, you sure are strong.
Stop scowling already!
What am I supposed to do about the fact that the director chose this place?
Do you hate this place that much?
I like it quite a bit.
You head in first. I'll have a smoke before I go in.
Fine.
Oh, In Seon!
Yeah, we just arrived.
Of course. My husband came with me.
All right, In Seon. Where are you now?
I'll be in the VIP room on the third floor.
Why did it have to be that punk Min Joon's restaurant, of all places?
Why are you back here?
I had no choice but to come here, so treat me like any other customer.
Please leave.
What did you say?
I don't accept just anyone just because they're customers.
Even so, how dare you speak to your father that way, you punk--
Leave before you end up humiliating yourself in front of everyone.
You impudent punk.
There will be a day when you beg for forgiveness.
Ah, take that over there.
Oh, I see. Thank you!
Plate!
- Plate! Quickly, quickly! - Yes, Sir!
Hey, some plates are coming in.
Yes, I've got them!
The response to the new beef and clam gnocchi has been great.
Yes, the customers said that it was really delicious!
Look, they wiped their plates clean!
Wow, is it becoming a popular item already?
You're really starting off on the right foot, Mister Hae Sung.
Oh, thank you, Sir!
We have another order of the beef and clam gnocchi.
Wow, Sung Hae Sung!
You have to treat us when you get your bonus!
Yes, Sir!
Ow!
What is it? What happened?
You cut your hand?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Hey, Jung Jung Won!
You have so many years of experience, and yet you cut your finger?
If using a knife is too hard for you, go and serve food instead!
How do you still not have the basics down?
What are you doing? Get it together!
Are you badly hurt?
No, I'm okay.
Hurry and get that taken care of. And if it's serious, go to the hospital.
Yes, Sir.
Geez.
Ugh, what am I doing right now?
Are you okay?
Hey, Junior!
Empty out that pot and hurry back here.
Yes, Sir. I'm coming!
I kept you waiting, didn't I?
Geez.
I should open my own yoga studio or something. This is so unfair!
I mean, my boss pays me so little
but they make me do so much. Ugh, seriously!
Did you have dinner?
I had one roll of kimbap.
But hey, isn't there a welcome party for Hae Sung at your restaurant today?
Was it canceled?
No.
I just didn't go.
Why? It's a welcome party for Hae Sung, after all.
Huh?
I love you, this feeling, just like this.
The end of my wandering, that I've waited for.
The repeating sadness in this world--
Woo! Woo!
Goodbye.
On the many paths where I don't know the way
I follow a dim light.
Make some noise!
- Woo! - Woo!
And our score is!
- Woo! - Woo!
Hey, be quiet. Be quiet!
- Hey, Chi Soo. - Yes, Sir?
Haven't we forgotten something today?
Oh, I think you're right, Sir.
I have this uncomfortable feeling, like we've forgotten something.
Tomorrow is the beginning of our summer break, so what are you worrying about?
Let's have fun!
- Yeah! - Yeah!
All right, everyone! Let's do the next song then!
- Yeah! - Yeah!
This is where we're supposed to have your welcome party, right?
Yes. But, you just asked me that...
Oh yeah. I did.
Is this some sort of hazing ritual?
We don't do such things.
At any rate, you must be hungry, Mister Hae Sung.
Why don't you press the bell over there?
Oh, no. I'm fine. I can wait a bit longer.
It's because I'm hungry.
Oh, I see. Yes.
Are they coming now?
Should I prepare the 20 servings of pork belly now?
Um, please just give us two servings for now, ma'am.
Is it okay if you're the only one who doesn't go?
Why didn't you go to the staff dinner?
I feel uncomfortable seeing Hae Sung.
What?
Hey, but you were so happy that Hae Sung got a job!
What was that about then?
What the...
you cut your hand?
Are you a beginner?
You've been working in the kitchen for so many years now.
Doesn't it hurt?
I seem really stupid to you too, right?
Hey, did something happen to you?
I ran into someone from our high school at the restaurant.
She had a boyfriend
but he died in a car accident his senior year.
Oh.
But he got into that accident
because of her, so he died because of her.
I heard that she was so traumatized
that she doesn't even keep in touch with her close friends anymore.
But to think that she's working here now.
Hey, who was it?
How dare she talk about you like that!
Which one of our classmates was it? Huh?
I don't know who she is.
So?
This whole time, I was just happy that I got to see Hae Sung again
and I'd forgotten about everything else.
If nothing had happened to Hae Sung
he would've turned 31 this year, just like the rest of us.
And just like Tae Hoon, Moon Shik, and Ho Bang
he would've found a job that suited him, and would be living a good life.
Hey, but Hae Sung does have a job now.
He wouldn't have had to see his
siblings split up and live difficult lives
and be miserable, thinking it was all his fault.
Hey, if you put it that way--
It's all because of me.
Jung Won!
I feel so sorry...
that I can't even look Hae Sung in the face.
How can I look at his face and smile?
Hey!
Each person has his or her own fate.
All we can do is think of it as Hae Sung's fate.
What else can we do?
And I'm the one... who doomed him to such a fate.
Mister Hae Sung, congrats on getting hired at our restaurant.
Oh... thank you.
But I think I've heard that over a hundred times today.
Oh, are you tired of hearing it?
Then... let me tell you something you haven't heard yet.
Oh, all right. Thank you.
I...
like Ms. Jung Jung Won a lot.
What?
I like your cousin a lot.
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 though.
What part of her do you find so pretty?
- Just everything. - Just everything?
Hm...
Well...
she looks pretty when she pours water and drinks it.
She looks pretty when she's opening the door.
And she looks pretty when she bows and says "thank you" too.
I think that everything about her is pretty.
At any rate, she's the prettiest woman I've ever seen.
Just a moment.
Did he drink too much?
Are you okay, Mister Hae Sung?
Yes, I'm fine.
You looked really worn out
so I just paid our tab and came out.
Let's stop drinking, and go.
All right. Let's go.
The thing about alcohol is...
you should only drink as much as you can handle.
All right, let's go.
Let's go.
Boss, why aren't you...
Oh man, why do I feel so good?
It's because you drank.
No, I'm happy because I'm with you, Mister Hae Sung.
What?
I think you're a bit drunk, Boss.
No, I'm not drunk at all.
Here, watch.
Okay, Boss. I get it, so let's get going, okay?
Ow!
I'm sorry.
What the hell was that about?
- What? - "What?"
Why did you hit someone who was just walking past?
Oh, I'm sorry.
But why are you using informal speech with me?
What? "Informal speech?"
"Why?"
How dare you look me in the eye!
Mister Hae Sung, it's dangerous, you should take a step back.
Um, let's just go, Boss.
Don't worry.
I recently punched someone for the first time
and I found out that I'm actually pretty strong.
Ow!
I get what you're saying, Boss, but we should go.
It's dangerous, so just stay behind me.
Are you playing games?
This won't do. You need a beatdown today.
L... let's go.
Um, I'm sorry!
- I'm sorry! - I'm sorry!
Let's go.
All right.
Whoa.
I'll think of you as my younger brother.
- What? - I'll be the head chef in the kitchen
but otherwise, think of me as an older brother, okay?
Oh...
Yes, Sir.
There's nothing better than cold watermelon salad
to help sober up in the summer.
Have a bowl before you go.
All right. Thank you.
Where did you learn to cook?
I just watched others, and imitated them.
Oh, you must be a natural then.
Not just anyone can do that.
Oh.
Here, have a nice, cold bowl of this.
Thank you.
But aren't you having any, Boss?
Oh, just a second. Go ahead and eat.
I only started taking photos three years ago.
I never took photos before that.
Three years ago? Wait, was that...
Yeah.
That's when Jung Won started working in our kitchen.
Here, take this.
For me?
It's to commemorate your beginning as a cook, and to encourage you.
I'll get you a set of knives when you become a full-fledged cook.
But for now, here you go.
Thank you.
Is she sleeping?
Or maybe she's not home yet.
Where did she go? She didn't even come to the staff dinner.
Are you sick, Jung Won?
You look terrible.
No, I'm fine.
Sorry to put you through this.
Stop that.
Let's go now. I'm fine.
Are you really going to be okay?
Yeah.
Let's go.
Who's texting me at this hour?
Jin Joo.
I have a fever, and I'm really dizzy.
Can you buy me some medicine?
Is Jung Won very sick?
Who is it?
Jin Joo.
Why are you here so early in the morning--
Come in. Yeah, come in. Come in, come in.
Sit here, Jin Joo.
Where's Hae Sung?
Oh, you're here, Jin Joo?
Step outside for a bit, Ho Bang.
You want me to step outside? But this is my apartment.
- Yep. - You want me to get out?
- Yeah. - When should I come back in then?
- Come back when I tell you to. - Sure, okay.
I'll be outside.
Um, what's going on?
Geez.
What could it be?
What did Jin Joo prepare for me?
Oh, gosh.
Take this.
What's this?
Medicine for Jung Won.
For Jung Won? Is Jung Won sick?
I think she's been really sick all night.
I think it'd be better for you to bring it to her, instead of me.
Hey, Jin Joo.
Did something happen to her, that I don't know about?
Well, the thing is...
She said that one of our high school classmates came to the restaurant.
But then, Jung Won heard her say that your accident...
was... because of her.
What?
How is it Jung Won's fault?
There are people who say that.
And Jung Won is the one... that thinks that most.
You know how Jung Won had a really tough time after you died, right?
Yeah.
She's been like that since then.
She gets really sick every once in a while.
There were times when she was really sick for several days.
I'm sure it must be difficult for Jung Won to tell you these things.
But you know, she's gotten a lot better since you came back.
From what I've seen, at least.
Ah... So that's why she was going out of her way to avoid me.
She didn't come to the staff dinner either.
I guess she felt too sorry to face you.
That's why she asked me to get medicine for her
even though you live right here, and I live far away.
Um, can I go in now?
Yeah, go inside.
Go on, then.
I'm off.
Yeah, thanks.
Jin Joo!
When are you coming back inside, Jin Joo--
Jin Joo! Jin Joo!
Jin Joo!
You're here, Jin Joo?
I'm sorry--
You're so sick, why didn't you say anything?
I'm okay.
No, you're not.
Your body feels so hot.
Take some medicine.
Can you get up?
Yes.
I took the medicine, so I'll be fine.
Get some sleep for now.
And don't think about anything.
Are you feeling okay?
Yeah.
Want to take a walk then?
Okay.
["Cheering on our Customers!" Campaign You are the pride of Korea.]
Oh!
Just a minute.
Here.
You said that eating this when you feel sick always makes you feel better.
I...
feel sorry towards you for so many reasons.
But since you came back...
and you're in front of me, like this...
I had forgotten all about it.
But I came back, didn't I?
I'm right in front of you now, aren't I?
So you can forget it now.
I'm happy because I have you.
That was the case then, and it still is now.
That's what you mean to me.
So...
forget about all of that now.
You can do that, right?
You have to say "okay."
Okay.
