(Episode 51)
Wait, what just happened?
- I... - Don't say a word.
Please excuse me.
I must be crazy.
I must've gone crazy.
You must've been surprised.
Don't think about anything, and get a good rest.
Let's talk tomorrow.
There's something I'd like to tell you.
You're still eating.
Join us if you haven't eaten.
No, I ate with San Deul.
Didn't you sleep well?
Your eyes are bloated.
What? Oh, just a bit.
It's not just a bit.
You look like you spent the whole night up.
You're right. Are you worried about something?
No, not at all.
- Do you have anything to tell us? - What?
I met the lady at the real estate office...
while I was taking a walk.
She saw something really interesting last night.
What is it?
She saw this young man and woman...
lying around on a slide in the playground doing this.
Goodness. Be quiet. We have a child here.
It's okay. I know what that is.
Right, Go Woon?
They must really like each other to be doing that at that hour.
Kissing.
Gosh, they're very tacky.
Don't they have a better place to go to do that?
Why were they there?
What's with you?
What?
Why are your ears getting red?
Could it be...
It's not me.
What's she saying?
I didn't say that it was you.
Even if you said it was, we won't believe you.
Aren't you too old to be embarrassed about hearing someone kissing?
My ears are fine.
You're the one who should stop biting people's ears.
- Hey. - What's she saying?
Did you still not lose that habit?
No, I don't do that anymore.
Yes, you do.
San Deul saw you doing that two days ago.
You were biting some guy's ear after you got drunk.
Gosh, San Deul. He's such a big mouth.
Hey, he's not a big mouth.
He just never keeps secrets from his mom.
He tells me every little thing.
That was close.
He didn't even call or text me.
Does he think I don't remember anything because I was drunk?
Why isn't she replying?
Was she too drunk that she doesn't remember anything?
Are you expecting a call?
- No. - Are you sure?
Do you know how many times...
you've looked at your phone since you sat down?
What is it?
Are you waiting for someone to call?
It's not like that.
By the way, a scandal broke about Lee Jeong Hwa.
How did you know?
Hye Eun told me.
She saw it in a tabloid.
Apparently, Lee Jeong Hwa is dating someone working in law.
In that case, it might be someone Ji Seok knows.
- I guess. - Whoever that man is,
he's such a lucky man.
She's beautiful, competent, and comes from a prestigious family.
Thank you for the breakfast. I'm getting up.
Eun Seok, have you noticed?
What do you mean?
Don't you think...
Ji Seok seems to be avoiding talking about Lee Jeong Hwa?
That's not what he's trying to avoid.
He must know what you'll say next.
"Why aren't you getting married?"
"I want a daughter-in-law..."
"who I can badmouth Mother with."
How did you...
I don't believe this.
When you get old,
aren't your vision and hearing supposed to get worse?
It seems like she's seeing and hearing better and better.
When did she hear me say that?
Grandma, I'm going to work.
Okay. Well...
Ji Seok, can we talk for a moment?
Sure.
Do you have something to say?
- Is something bothering you? - Sorry?
You seemed so concerned during breakfast.
Were you thinking about the girl you wanted to give those red gloves?
How did you know?
I remember how you looked...
when you couldn't find out how to give those gloves to her.
You look just like that today.
You haven't been able to give the gloves to her yet?
- I've already given them to her. - And?
I thought it'd be over once I had given her the gloves.
I thought I could stop thinking about her then.
I thought my feelings would disappear.
But they didn't?
No.
I care about her more and more.
How is she feeling about you?
I'm not sure.
It's not easy to know what a person is thinking.
By the way, are you still having nightmares?
- What is it? - Now that I think about it,
I haven't had any nightmares in a while.
Really?
(Hanguk University Hospital)
The person you have reached is not available.
Hey, kid. Long time, no see.
I know. I've been a bit busy.
Are you still lovesick?
What are you talking about?
Why do you keep coming here?
The thing is, I keep having nightmares.
But I'm getting better.
It must be the power of love.
What? You keep talking about love.
Do you really know what love is?
Love is waiting.
- Waiting? - Yes.
I read somewhere that...
the most difficult thing in the world is...
winning someone's heart.
I also read that it is a miracle...
to be loved back.
It means love is that hard.
That's right. It is hard.
The important thing is to be sincere.
If you love a person sincerely, it'll open that person's heart.
- Did you read that somewhere too? - No.
My oldest sister said so.
Everything she says is true.
Excuse me now.
Hey, hold on.
What is it?
- Take this. - No.
I can't receive anything from a stranger.
Your neck looks cold.
If you catch a cold, your mom will be sad.
Also, am I a stranger?
I guess not.
It's not for free.
I'm rewarding you for teaching me about love.
Then I'll return it...
next time I wear it. Give me your phone number.
I never owe anyone anything.
You brat.
Here you go.
I'll be in touch.
Hi, Uncle.
I just ran into someone.
I'm going up.
So I... Oh, my.
I'm so sorry.
Don't worry. We had a lot of fun.
- Right? - We did.
When I lay down in my bed,
I couldn't help rolling around laughing.
Same here.
Mr. Lee. Ms. Park.
Who is that guy who came to pick you up?
- Is he your boyfriend? - No.
Come on. Then how could he come there so quickly at that hour?
He's right. You even did this to him.
- I did? - Stop teasing her.
Let's get to work.
- Okay. - Okay.
Oh, right. Ms. Choi, can you visit Ms. Jang...
with this proposal?
Ms. Jang?
We'll soon evaluate the recipes...
developed by the new employees who passed the contest.
Ms. Jang will be the judge.
She already has the other new employees' recipes,
but she doesn't have yours...
because you joined the company late.
Okay. I'll deliver it to her now.
Choi Go Ya!
What's going on?
What happened? Are you okay?
Look at that.
Who did that?
What do you think?
(It's to celebrate me getting the job.)
It's to celebrate me getting the job.
Do you remember what you said?
If you get the job, I'll eat my hat.
If you win, I'll eat my hat.
If you pass that contest,
I'll eat my hat.
And see what happened. I got the job.
I've been thinking,
but I couldn't make you eat your hat.
So I made your doll pay for what you said instead.
Bury her somewhere nice.
Stop laughing!
Stop it!
(Jang Ok Ja's Cooking Class)
- Hello, Ms. Jang. - Welcome.
I came with the proposal.
I was surprised...
to find out that you'd be the judge.
I like you a lot,
but I'll be fair to everyone.
Of course.
My students will...
participate in the evaluation too.
They're much pickier than I am.
Do your best to win their hearts.
I will.
I love your gloves.
- They were a gift. - From your boyfriend?
No. He's not my boyfriend.
He's a nice person though.
It's mine.
I see.
Are you expecting a call?
Yes. A part of me is afraid about the call,
but another part of me is waiting for it.
A call from that nice man?
Yes.
Yes. I'm meeting the lawyer tomorrow...
to discuss the terms.
Don't worry. The other party is responsible for the divorce,
so we'll be able to get favorable terms.
Bye.
Mr. Min, we should get going now.
There's construction on the way.
We have to leave now to arrive at the court in time.
Okay.
Let me make a quick phone call.
I'll get the car ready. Come down when you're ready.
The person you have reached is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Go Ya, you haven't been picking up your phone.
Are you avoiding me by any chance?
I have to get to a trial.
I'll call you after that.
Let's make sure we talk then.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
Come again.
Gosh, my business is thriving.
Wait, and see.
I may not have become an actress, but my cafe will be a success.
Everything looks fine.
You may go after the dialysis.
- Did you make the next appointment? - Yes.
Right, and...
Actually, I came across...
your ex-husband at the hospital yesterday.
What?
I should've seen that jerk.
I was worried that you might run into him.
I mean, even I became so furious when I saw him.
It would be really horrifying for you.
But still, Yang Sook. I got a tiny, little revenge...
in your place.
What do you mean?
The more I think about it, the angrier I feel.
Why are you touching your forehead?
Don't even get me started.
Do you know how humiliated I was yesterday?
- What happened? - I mean,
I went to the hospital...
to check if my ribs were getting healed.
And the doctor who was in charge of me before...
slapped my forehead saying that there was a fly there.
That's not all.
I was trying to avoid Tae Ran,
but I ended up hiding in Yang Sook's side dish shop.
I walked right into the tiger's den.
Wait, back up. Your previous doctor was...
Han... Han Jae Woong. Is that him?
Han Jae Woong?
Yes, you're right. You have a great memory.
You've never even met him. How do you remember his name?
I guess I just do.
Anyway, why did he hit you?
He claims that...
he tried to shoo away a fly.
But it made me feel strangely unpleasant.
Well, did he mention anything else?
No.
- Why? - Nothing.
Why did you go visit that family?
I was around the area,
and I wanted to stop by and see how Tae Ran was doing.
You cut her off a long time ago. Why are you doing this now?
I really don't like how you go to meet them behind my back.
Have you forgotten already?
They sued you...
and broke your ribs.
- I know. - If you think about it,
everything got twisted as your daughter began to...
look around for me.
Gosh, I can't even stand to think about that family.
I hope I never see them again in my life.
You have to cut ties with that family too.
Understood?
My goodness.
My gosh.
If she wants me to cut off my family,
why can't she do that with Ji Seok?
Unbelievable.
The court is adjourned for 10 minutes.
(First Snow)
The person you have reached is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Hello. Is Ms. Choi there?
Oh, Ms. Choi?
She's out on business. She's not here right now.
May I take a message?
Yes, then will you please ask her to call me back?
I'm Min Ji Seok.
Thank you.
(3:43pm, Min Ji...)
Yes, this is Park Eun Jin of Development Team.
Yes. One second.
Yes. The test result for soft drinks...
and dessert preference?
Yes. I'll bring it over right now.
- I'm back. - You're back, Ms. Choi.
Did you give the proposal to Ms. Jang?
Yes.
Hello?
Yes, hello. Have you been well?
How's the new product received?
What's with him?
Did yesterday mean nothing to him?
I thought he'd at least explain...
What's with me? What am I waiting for?
What will you say to him if he calls you anyway?
Okay. Let's stop waiting for him to call.
Give me some oranges.
It's for my son, so give me the best ones.
Okay, San Deul's mom.
Anyway, who is this handsome, young man?
You just said his name.
Is this your son?
The sixth-grade teacher at Kkumnamu Elementary School?
Hello.
Goodness. Your mom talked so much about you...
that I memorized that.
But now, I understand why she's so proud.
Right?
Anyway, if you know any great girl, set him up with her.
- Even better if she's a teacher. - Okay.
- Mom, come on. - Goodness.
Oh, gosh. Mr. Choi.
Pardon? Who are you?
I made a reservation and visited you last time.
Don't you remember me?
Is she a customer?
Oh, yes. Right.
- Mom. Let's go. - What?
- What's with you? - Hey, anyway.
Like you said,
my youngest child got accepted to a college.
- You're so good at reading. - No, I'm not.
And how did you know that my mother was ill?
I've been telling all of my friends about you.
Excuse me. What are you talking about?
Why would you tell your friends about my son?
What do you mean? He's good at reading what?
I've heard people say that teachers teach well,
but never good at reading.
Mom. What... What happened is...
Goodness, look who this is.
It's you, right?
Mr. Choi San Deul of Kkumnamu Elementary School.
Mr. Min?
Excuse me.
That lady has a horrible temper.
She's just picking a fight, so just go.
Goodness, it's been so long.
The sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Choi, of Kkumnamu Elementary School.
Pardon?
See you later, Teacher Choi.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Who is that?
What? Go Woon's teacher.
Why are you telling me this now?
I didn't get to say hi to him properly.
- You can do it later. Let's go. - Stop.
I've seen him somewhere.
Wait, oranges.
- I'll take 10. - Okay.
- I'll give you 11. - Thanks.
I will never forget your kindness.
Mr. Min, one second.
Why are you in such a hurry?
I'll tell you later. See you tomorrow.
Mr. Min!
Why is he in such a hurry...
Gosh, I'm in a hurry to get to a restroom.
Let's go home.
- Okay. - Okay.
Right, Ms. Choi. Is your phone turned off?
No.
It's on.
Why did he say he couldn't reach you?
Who?
Mr. Kang at the lab.
I don't see any missed calls.
- What's wrong? - It seems frozen.
I know. It doesn't react.
You must have dropped it.
Your screen is broken.
It's been broken for a while.
Maybe something went wrong because you didn't fix it.
Maybe.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
A man called the office earlier and said...
he couldn't reach you.
His name was Min Ji...
Min Ji Seok?
That's right. Min Ji Seok.
The person you have reached is not available.
She must be avoiding me.
(Min Ji Seok Law Office)
I'm too late.
We have something to celebrate?
Ji Seok has been working hard in treatment.
He's not having nightmares anymore.
Really?
That's great.
Thank you.
By the way, did we meet at a food stall a few days ago?
I can't believe you.
I even carried you to your place.
I almost broke my back.
Didn't you tell me you were in love with someone?
- Did I? - Is that true?
I'm sure you did.
What about you? Who is Yang Sook?
I told you about Yang Sook?
Yes. You said, "It would have been perfect..."
"to have a drink with Yang Sook on a day like this."
Who is she?
Well... She's the mother of the girl who saved Ji Seok.
Go Ya's mother?
How did you two get so close?
We happened to have a few conversations.
We both have been cheated on.
We have a lot in common.
By the way, I heard about Go Ya's father.
How could he do such a terrible thing?
He was lying when he said he'd give his kidney to his son?
You heard?
Who lies about that kind of thing?
It doesn't end there.
After abandoning his children,
he sued them for money.
- What? - What?
What happened?
Go Ya won. I took the case.
Good job.
People like him should be punished.
Hello.
I just got a call from the janitor.
He thinks we didn't turn off the heater in our office.
Really?
Okay. I'm nearby, so I can take a look.
Bye.
- What's wrong? - We didn't turn off the heater.
Excuse me. See you.
(Min Ji Seok Law Office)
You're here.
I just wanted to sit down for a moment before I left.
Let me explain.
- I'm so relieved. - What?
Do you know what my day has been like?
It's been a mess because of a certain someone.
I forgot about important papers...
many times because of that certain someone.
I got lost...
on a street...
I pass every day.
I just got a call saying I forgot to turn off the heater here.
I never make such mistakes.
But I like myself for making that mistake.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you here.
I called you many times.
I know.
I'm sorry...
I found out so late.
Don't be. Thank you for coming here.
- About last night... - Let me speak first.
I'm a very realistic person.
I rarely mistake kindness...
for romantic feelings.
But you make me confused.
Do you...
- by any chance... - I like you.
Can't I?
- Mr. Min... - Let me speak now.
What happened last night wasn't a mistake or a joke.
I meant it.
Just to be clear,
I don't think you're easy.
I don't take this lightly.
This is the most difficult thing in my life right now.
- Mr. Min... - I like you.
I like you.
I like you a lot.
I think I'm crazy.
I miss you so many times a day.
I wonder if you have eaten or if you're crying somewhere.
When I see you smile,
I couldn't be happier.
If you say what happened last night was a mistake,
I'll accept it. But please...
give me a chance.
I'm serious.
It wasn't a mistake.
I like you too.
I meant it too.
But...
I can't go out with you.
(Forever Enemies)
How long are you planning to keep it a secret?
Do you really want to go out with me?
I'll sue you. I know a lawyer.
I have a son who is a lawyer.
She doesn't think. That's why she's scary.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
I can't let it slide. I'll bring charges.
I'd like to talk to the lawyer.
I'm Choi Go Ya's mother.
You went to see the lawyer who took our case?
There's a new flower arrangement class.
Forget it. What if you run into Go Ya?
Don't you know how I was feeling when I came here?
Please.
